Whether you are a person of faith or not - a Christian or a Jew - today’s newsletter is for you - on this one year anniversary of the horrific terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. I heard comments yesterday that I’ve never heard before that I think everybody needs to know.
I wrote a 3-part series on the massacre in Israel after it happened - if you haven’t read that before, please do so if you have time - before you read on:
NEW YORK POST: Thousands of lives were forever altered and upended when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, butchering more than 1,200 people and kidnapping 251 others. 97 people are still being held by Hamas a year after the October 7th attacks.
A Pastor from Virginia invited Michele Bachmann (formerly a Congresswoman from Minnesota) to talk about Israel, Iran and the United Nations last Sunday. I edited the message down to 10 minutes and here is an excerpt:
PASTOR HAMRICK: Everything related to Israel does impact us one way or another, if you know your Bible.
I have a special guest with me today, Michele Bachmann, who is so well informed about things related to Israel. She has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years.
She served in the United States Congress from 2007 to 2015 and she was the first Republican woman elected to Congress from the state of Minnesota. She served on the intelligence committee when she was in in Congress and she is currently the Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University.
When we think about the enemies of Israel, of course we think of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis - all of these proxies of Iran - but Michele mentioned to me another subtle enemy that is not in favor of Israel - that's the United Nations. Talk to us about what the UN is doing and how this is impacting things in Israel.
MICHELE BACHMAN: Once a year all 194 nations on Earth get together for the annual week for the UN. The very first order of business last time was an illegally offered resolution that would demand that the Jewish people have to leave the heartland of Israel. They'd have to give up their land and exit from Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem - that's the Western Wall - they'd have to leave all of that and Gaza - in less than 12 months.
A vote was taken and unbelievably out of 194 nations, only 14 voted no. The ones who voted no were mostly smaller nations who love the Lord and so they knew biblically they shouldn't vote for that. Thank goodness the United States was one of those nations that voted no, but here's the deal. It was kind of a wink-wink, nod-nod vote on the part of the US because we're the big dog at the UN. We pay for everything, we keep the lights on over there - so if the [Obama-Biden-Harris] administration didn’t want this to pass they could have shouted a little bit and made the vote not happen at all - but it did happen.
The Bible says that in the last days the Lord will bring all nations down to the valley of decision and there's only one criterion upon which the nations will be judged and that is how they treated Israel - Zion.
The question is - did you as a nation divide the land, did you seek to scatter the people from the land and did you cheapen Jewish life? All three were violated - they divided the land, they scattered the people, and they cheapened Jewish life in that resolution at the UN. It was a Biblical resolution from a negative perspective.
Then, the UN did then something even more unbelievable. They passed something called Pact for the Future - it's a 56-page document you can find it online at the UN. On page 54, they gave increased powers to the Secretary General of the UN. He agreed with that resolution, by the way, that all Jews should have to leave their lands.
The Secretary General of the UN would be given even more power and in that document he's allowed to declare a ‘global complex shock’ which would trigger other powers. In other words, since the time of the Tower of Babel, this is the first time in 5,000 years of recorded human history on Earth that we now have a perch for Global Government. That happened on Sunday - there was no vote on that issue.
They decided to kick Israel out of its heartland of biblical lands and then they decided that they were going to establish Global Government. That is what just happened. On September 23, 2024 they started their Israel bashing (the next day Hurricane Helene was launched) and then on September 25, 2024 they passed this resolution. The following Sunday is when they expanded the UN’s powers and established a Global Government.
Of course, Israel is going to tell the UN to pound dirt. They're not going to leave the West Bank, they're not going to vacate Samaria and Judea. But still the UN has not been favorable towards Israel. They've done everything they can to antagonize Israel. But it’s not only the UN - but our own United States policy [under Obama-Biden-Harris] is not really helping Israel.
Obama did some things that enabled and empowered Iran. I was in Congress, serving on the intelligence committee, where we deal with the classified secrets of the nation. Since 1979, the United States State Department has designated Iran as the number one nation in the world for terrorism. Iran was actually on a downward slide back then before Obama and they were they were gasping for oxygen - they had no money - and President Obama took $4 billion from where, I have no idea, and gave it to the Ayatollah in Iran so they could stay in business and keep the lights on. Congress didn't approve it.
After that, Obama released $150 billion to Iran by lifting sanctions on Iran. Iran used that money to establish terrorism. If you wonder where all of these terror tunnels came, in Gaza or in Lebanon, they came from money that Obama allowed Iran to have and they utilized to advance terrorism. If it weren’t for the actions of [Obama-Biden-Harris] it could very likely have been that there never would have been an October 7th because the Obama regime has continually funded Hamas, Iran and their terror network.
The Obama-Biden-Harris administration gave $6 billion to Iran just before the attack on October 7, 2023 - unbelievable - and then AFTER the attack they gave another $10 billion to Iran. So, what does that money go for? That money goes for terrorism.
It’s a decidedly weird policy that the United States has under [Obama-Biden-Harris] against Israel. This is biblical because when nations curse Israel - curses come back on those nations. This is a moral evil, it's a Biblical evil and the United States posture right now, under the Obama-Biden-Harris regime, is toward helping Iran while chastising Israel. I'm not being political when I say this I'm just being factual.
Benjamin Netanyahu spoke yesterday on the latest attack against Israel. 200 precision ballistic missiles were fired from Iran toward Israel on October 1, 2024. Thank goodness Israel has the Iron Dome. They were all intercepted and the ones that weren't intercepted landed on sand and water in the few empty spaces that there are in Israel. Praise to God for this absolute miracle. They didn't hit infrastructure and didn’t injure anyone, let alone kill anyone. This is the most compact group of miracles. This is why we can't even imagine how our prayers are being answered right now.
Just prior to that, as Lebanon was firing rockets into Israel, Israel made a raid into Southern Lebanon and the worst terrorist organization in the world, Hezbollah, run by Nasralla, who was just eliminated a week ago, had plans for a 2nd October 7th, a worse October 7th.
The Lord supernaturally showed Israel all the terror tunnels just this week. Get this, the plans were laying out there. Hezbollah was going to attack Galilee, they were going to attack Northern Israel, they had all the plans laid out and Israel found them so the Israel Defense Forces entered Southern Lebanon and they defeated the plans of the enemy. That was a miracle of God. God destroyed the terror network of Hezbollah, the worst terror organization in the world.
If you remember the exploding pagers and walkie-talkies? That was thousands of mid-level Hezbollah terrorists that were taken out in that attack. The head of of Hezbollah was taken out, along with his chief commanders and all of their replacements who were below them. The whole Hezbollah house of cards was eliminated in about a 15-day period. The head of the Iranian Quds force was taken out. The Iranian revolutionary guards are the baddest of the bad guys in Iran. The head was taken out last night - this is absolutely miraculous. No one has ever seen this before.
What has been the posture of President Macron of France? He said all Western countries shouldn't give or sell any more weapons to Israel. Kamala Harris, our vice president, said that she again she called for Israel leaving within 12 months their biblical Heartland. Kamala also said she agreed that all Jews must leave against their will. Kamala also said she wouldn’t give Israel any of the 2,000 bunker busting bombs that they need to use in order to remove the nuclear weapon threat in Iran.
What we're seeing from Macron & Obama-Biden-Kamala is a moral wrong, it's a Biblical wrong, to stand with Iran that seeks the destruction and the murder of every Jew. That’s Iran’s stated goal. When I was in Congress, the Ayatollah of Iran wrote a book called We Will Annihilate Israel within 25 years.
10 years have gone by and they are giddy - Iran can't believe that the United States under the Obama-Biden-Harris regime is helping Iran to hamstring Israel so that they can achieve their goal. You can't believe it but that's the way it's been since Barack Obama was President.
It was different under the Trump administration. He did NOT help Iran to hurt Israel. I'm not being political when I say this. I'm giving you the facts of what happened.
But, now the United States is back in business of aiding and abetting Israel's enemies that seek the death of Israel - but also seek the death of the United States. They're not stopping with the Jews, they want to kill us too with nuclear weapons. Iran doesn’t need a nuclear weapon to take out Israel - they have enough ballistic missiles to do that. The nuclear weapons are for the United States - they're for us - and Americans need to wake up and get smart and realize what's happening. Also, we must realize the biblical consequences for the decisions we make.
Please join me in prayer now.
Oh Father, these are serious days and serious times. Father, you are the one who neither slumbers nor sleeps when it comes to Israel. It is your strong right arm that preserves and protects. Father, we cry out to you today on the anniversary of this horrible attack. God, we cry out for the release of the captives. Lord, would you defeat the enemies of Israel so that we would see a completion of this war and this effort. We trust you now in Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is BIBLICAL - not political. IMHO, politics IS NOT separate from the pulpit. If you are a person of faith - who is still opposed to voting for whatever reason - I hope today’s message and my rant below might plant a seed to change your mind.
My last voting rant
I am getting great response to my last newsletter about how and when to vote. Check it out if you haven’t yet - and please share it with a friend.
After I got done listening to Michele’s comments, I saw this post so I decided to include it here. Reverend Amanchukwa says way too many senior Pastors are beholden to the donkey (Democrat party) rather than the Cross and are leading parishioners away from the voting booth.
He said Pastors must preach the word of God and those of faith must vote - or otherwise we are ceding Government to Satan.
Listen to what he says. Powerful.

Then I saw this timely post from Pastor Greg Locke. I thought it was a fitting way to end my newsletter today. God always provides me with the right material at the right time! Praise Him! Godspeed!
