Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

It was the Sabbath morning in Israel when the air raid sirens were activated, beckoning the population to their closest bomb shelter. War had broken ou between Israel and its archenemy, Iran. Operation Epic Fury (US name) had begun. And for the first time, Israel was not fighting alone but alongside itsgreat ally, the United States. Comparisons have been frequently made between Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sir Winston Churchill with US Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald J. Trump. If the current leadership wins its war as World War II leaders won theirs, the comparison will hold. Operation Epic Fury was meticulously designed and flawlessly executed, using multi-domain warfare (cyber, outer space, and AI). With the failure of negotiations, Israel and the US sincerely believed that Iran was a growing threat, so they swung into action. Israel sent out two hundred flights, and each plane had two targets each. In amazingly swift speed, the allies sank Iran’s navy a...

That you do not become sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises - Hebrews 6:12 In our changing, trying times, the one thing we need above all else is divine patience; it can help you plough through the obstacles and keep going unto victory. More than that, it is a key to receiving the promises of God. Abraham had it, and so did Job - what about you? In Part One we defined and described what is Biblical patience, based in part from James 5:7-11 . You can read it for yourself at http://majdali.blogspot.com/2023/09/patience-key-to-unlocking-blessings-of.html The paragon of patience was the patriarch Job. Few people have suffered as much as this man. He was exceedingly blessed by God and then tragedy hit on many fronts: in one calendar day, he lost his flocks, workers, and children. If that weren’t enough, he lost his health. His wife told him to let go of his integrity: just curse God and die. Fortunately for him and us, he did not listen to her. ...

He is a highly gifted leader. Educated at Eton and an expert on the classics at Balliol College, Oxford, he had the vision to be another Winston Churchill. People describe him as witty, entertaining, optimistic, populist and pragmatic. He rose to the highest political office in the land and in December 2019 he had an electoral landslide that gave him a whopping eighty-seat majority. His campaign slogan?‘Get Brexit Done.’ He was able to do what his immediate predecessor could not - he got a Brexit deal passed through the United Kingdom parliament. So far, so good. Yet, on 7 July 2022, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. To which we ask: what went wrong? How did he go from landslide to train wreck? Whatever the reasons, do they compare with what’s happening ‘across the pond’ (the Atlantic Ocean) or the instability in Israel with five national elections in less than four years? Without question, his biggest single ...

  Many books, articles, assessments, and tributes have been written about Queen Elizabeth II since 1952. One of the least emphasised aspects of her personhood and reign is the most important of all: Elizabeth II is an overtly Christian Queen. Of her many titles, she is called the Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. While these titles have been bestowed on her predecessors over the centuries - some of them notably undevout - there is anecdotal evidence that the Queen takes her Christian faith most seriously. In this third and final part of The Crown Chronicles in commemoration of the Queen’s platinum jubilee, we offer this assessment of Elizabeth R. - Christian. The Conspicuous Christian While only God knows the heart of each person, the Queen’s Christian track record is impressive. She goes to church weekly, even on holidays and makes it a point to pray daily. While at Sandringham, she attends the local church, quietly sits in a pew at the front, an...
