One of the main reasons nations decline is that they turn against Israel. America and Britain have both done so and both are now hurtling fast towards a brick wall as judgment falls on them from all sides. God blesses those who bless the Jews and curses those who curse them. History repeatedly proves this statement true.

When Pat and I drove to Toronto for a teaching day last year we noticed that Canada was doing markedly better than America under the Obamanation and “Helicopter Ben” Bernanke, he of the over-heated printing press.

There was greater optimism and lower unemployment. As lifelong journalists we notice these things. While we were there the Canadian UN delegation walked out of the debating chamber when President Mad of Iran raved on against the Jews in his tirade at the (Dis)United Nations. In doing so they were signaling their backing for Israel.

Canada has been noticeably supportive of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and the only nation in that area with a growing Christian population. Elsewhere, even in so-called moderate Moslem lands like Eygpt, Christians are under increasing threat.

Obama, the most evil president in US history, waxes lyrical over the wonders of Islam, which martyrs millions of Christians – and other Muslims. In turn he puts the pressure on Israel to abandon its traditional homeland of Judea and Samaria, which the world likes to call "the West Bank", in favor of blood-soaked thugs. Is it any wonder America is in deep trouble?

I recently did a presentation to our church which showed the tumultuous, dizzying descent of once-Great Britain after she turned against Israel in 1948, even sending secret agents to sabotage refugee ships trying to get holocaust survivors to the Promised Land.(Three ships were badly damaged by limpet mines). The chart of decline was the steepest a sheet of graph paper could depict. From ruling a quarter of the earth’s surface and a quarter of its population just after the war, the numbers outside the United Kingdom left under Britain’s control had plummeted to just seven million by 1965 and we only governed Hong Kong and a few other offshore islands. Hong Kong didn't last too long either! Meanwhile the British homeland was falling apart spiritually and morally, a process now almost complete. It was probably the fastest fall from power and influence of any great empire in history.

Britain and America refused entry to countless Jews trying to escape the Nazis. Before the war Hitler offered the Jews to any nation which would give them refuge. No nation accepted, so the gas ovens were stoked up. The west having kept the Jews at bay God, who is not mocked, caused a flood of Islamics to invade our nations – people whose religious creed calls for our domination or destruction. There are always consequences when you go against God’s chosen people.

Another talk I give, which I will be glad to repeat to any church in America, as this is important material, shows the precise consequences when America acted  against Israel on ten major occasions. Every time, usually while the ink was drying on a one-sided "land for peace"promise, or when some bloodthirsty rat like Arafat was being "honored" by a US president, a natural disaster of ferocious proportions hit America: hurricanes, tornados, you name it, the facts are clear and documented beyond question. There are always consequences when nations act against God's chosen people and land, His special place on earth. Countries that repeatedly disregard this fact will go the way of the Mayans - and they are extinct.

Knowledge of all this, the study of prophecy and a deep sense of foreboding as I watch the business news each day gives me a great sense of urgency: people need to be warned and the church needs to wake up. This is why I will be touring and talking in America next spring and, perhaps, also in the fall, in a "world on red alert tour." I will set off from Missouri and Tennessee and move on to Oklahoma, doing some dates with Dr Larry Spargimino of Southwest Radio. Larry, like me, is one of the authors of a major new book just out in America about the conditions leading up to the rapture of the chuch. It's called "The Departure" and, again, our aim it to warn the church how late the hour is. If you want me to speak at your church please e-mail me at alan@thefreepressonline.co.uk

I didn't set out to write all this: my aim was to draw attention to this story about Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. This is what the Unity Coalition for Israel said in a recent circular:

URGENT ACTION ALERT - If you have not yet thanked PM Stephen Harper of Canada for his strong words of support for Israel, please watch his brief video excerpt and sign the attached letter.
