We Looked It Up

     While Donald Trump and his nominees are preparing to shake up our somewhat irresponsible government - and some Democrats promise to oppose them...

     There is irresponsible activity in the Middle East that we can't ignore. Syria's bad leaders after 13 years of warfare fell to people who may be even badder. Yes, that's not a word. 

     Views is more interested in Iran's hatred of our friend Israel, and America as well. Iran is 636,372 square miles, 2-1/2 times the size of Texas. Population 90 million, the 17th largest in the world.    

     A thousand miles away, Israel, with Gaza and the West Bank, is 10,600 square miles, 2-1/2 times Los Angeles County. It's 9.6 million population is closest to our New Jersey. 

     Why does Iran's regime want Israel and the USA wiped off the globe? We never get tired of saying Satan hates God who created him, cast rebellious angels to earth, and someday from Jerusalem will rule the world, in peace. While human wars come and go, the war in God's realm continues. God could end it today, but he wants to save people who believe in him, sight unseen...trust and obey.  

     Persian King Cyrus ruled what is now Iran, freeing Jewish captives and aiding the reestablishment of Israel 2,500 years ago. A remnant of Jews stayed in (Iran) and lived in peace for hundreds of years. Even after Israel reformed in 1948, there were economic and security ties between the nations. 

     Then came 1979 and the Islamic republic of Ayatollah Khomeini.
