I couldn't help but cringe as I read Jack Chick's message in the March/April 2008 BATTLE CRY magazine he publishes. On page 16 Mr. Chick states:
When I saw the news of those freakish tornadoes hitting in February that caused such havoc, the first thing that crossed my mind was, "What on earth are we doing to Israel?" God made it clear we are not to go against Jerusalem, God's holy city, or tamper with His holy land. But our American leaders are, and I dread to think of the consequences as the "roadmap for peace" is negotiated. Is there anyone advising the President that giving God's land to the Muslims is a no-no? The media has successfully changed the thinking of the people into believing Israel is the villain. It's the Muslims who are screaming for blood. All Israel is trying to do is stay alive!...
Watch the storms increase every time we double-cross Israel. I believe we are just getting a taste of what is coming. [emphasis added]

Firstly, Jack Chick is utterly wrong to suggest that tornadoes (i.e., acts of God) are punishing Americans because of U.S. dealings with the Middle East. In fact, he's way out in left field doctrinally. Talk about Zionist brainwashing. Every nation on the earth suffers natural disasters which cause death and destruction. Where does Jack Chick get the idea that God is punishing Americans with tornadoes? Historically, tornadoes have always been a menace and threat to certain geographical areas. I'm not trying to be unkind, but Jack Chick really says some strange things at times.
Do you think maybe God might want to punish America instead for the 50,000,000 children we've murdered by abortion??? Let's be realistic here. With Jack Chick, all he sees is Israel. This is not a healthy Biblical view.
Secondly, It is absurd for anyone to even suggest that the United States is going against Israel. Jack Chick conveniently fails to mention that U.S. tax-payers GAVE $30,000,000,000 to Israel this year alone (that's thirty BILLION dollars!!!). We owe that money to the Federal Reserve Bank (i.e., the thieving criminals who own it). You've got to be kidding Mr. Chick... America is the best ally Israel has. It is no secret that many of the most powerful and wealthiest U.S. politicians, businessmen, doctors, bankers, lawyers, newsmedia executives, entertainers, et cetera are Jewish. Thus, the nation of Israel has an extremely powerful influence over America's newsmedia, military, and economy via leaders of the New World Order. The Council On Foreign Relations [CFR] is the visible organization of the New World Order. Their goal is admittedly global one-world government, i.e., a centralization of power and control.
Thirdly, it really bothers me that Jack Chick continually shows no sympathy whatsoever for Muslims. Are they not lost souls that Jesus Christ also died for? Why does Jack Chick glorify the Jewish people; but demonize the Arabs? God is NO respecter of persons... "For there is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11). Israel has nuclear weapons; whereas no other Arab nations do. Jack Chick states: "All Israel is trying to do is stay alive!" You've got to be kidding me. Israel has the U.S. military at their disposal. Please watch Mystery Babylon And The Illuminati by Pastor Texe Marrs for an eye-opening view of what's really going on with Israel. Most Christians today are woefully ignorant. You can also view the film in 6 parts on YouTube: Part One - Part Two - Part Three - Part Four - Part Five - Part Six.
In the book Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams, 1781, he quotes British General Cornwallis as having said to George Washington (after losing the Revolutionary War to him)...
And so it is today. The New World
Order is here, being formed under the pretense of a
bogus "War On Terror." Zionism is taught
in most of our churches, and never a word of critic is spoken against the
blasphemous Jewish
religion of Judaism, or the vile
Talmud which
permits sex
with 3-year old girls. One need look no further than a one-dollar
bill to find the all-seeing eye of the
Grand
Architect. Cornwallis was correct!
Israel — God's Chosen Nation?
Psalm 135:4 states: "For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure."
Deuteronomy 32:9,10 state: "For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye."
Zechariah 12:3 states: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."
Mr. Chick is correct that the Israelites are
God's chosen people (Zechariah 2:8). God chose to bless the families of
this world through the descendants of Abraham (i.e., the Jews).
However, the blessing isn't the Jews themselves; no, rather, it is the
Gospel of Jesus Christ which bringeth salvation to all who believe.
Sadly, the Jews rejected their Savior and spit on the Gospel. So God
turned instead to the Gentiles to preach the good news of redemption.
The Jews aren't special just because they're Jews. God is NO respecter
of persons (Acts 10:34). The reason "why" Israel is "the apple of his
eye" (Zechariah 2:8) is because of what God has accomplished through the
Jewish people. The Biblical focus is upon God's plan of salvation,
which comes to mankind via the Word of God, which came to us via Israel.
Let no one think that a Jewish person is superior to anyone else... "For
there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord
over all is rich unto all that call upon him."
Biblical Thinking verses Superstition
It is foolish to view every natural disaster (i.e., act of God) as some form of direct punishment from God. We are living in a sin-cursed world, a fallen world, where we are vulnerable to sickness, injury and death. Many believers attributed the devastating destruction of hurricane Katrina to God's judgment. However, I think God's first target would be "Sin City" Las Vegas or Hollywood (unholywood) if He wanted to send America a message. America is bringing judgment upon itself. Sin has caused the American people to become complacent, indifferent and spiritually blind. God has given us enough rope to hang ourselves. This is why the average American still doesn't recognize that the Bush administration orchestrated the 911 attacks. Our own government leaders (at the highest levels) are against us. Sin blinds a nation.
Just because a 14-point buck (deer) jumps in front of your speeding car doesn't mean that God is punishing you for something. Many believers are superstitious. This is not good. Sin makes people careless, which causes them to make foolish decisions, and do nothing about the evils that threaten their freedom. The biggest sign of apostasy in America today is the deafening silence of it's churches concerning sin and evil.
God will allow us to destroy ourselves, and we're doing a good job of it: America's school children are illiterate... Our economy is heading south (literally)... Our dollar is virtually worthless... America is morally bankrupt... Our government is corrupt (stealing trillions-of-dollars of taxpayer money)... Homosexuals are legally getting married... Where will all this lead? Galatians 6:7 states that a man will reap what he sows, and you can rest assure that this is also true of a nation. Sin always undermines a nation.
Americans are guilty of MANY sins, enough in fact to warrant God wiping us off
the map; but God is longsuffering and patient towards our wicked nation (2nd
Peter 3:9). I can think of a hundred reasons why God should judge
America; but going against Israel certainly isn't one of them. Israel has been the recipient of
TENS-OF-BILLIONS of
American taxpayer dollars. America has been too good to Israel.
Israel Has No Claim of Divine Protection Today
China is fast-becoming the richest nation on earth, yet they despise Israel. Hitler's war machine decimated Israel, but Germany is still a thriving nation today. I think we need to be careful about deciding what is God's judgment and what is not. The Bible speaks for itself.
Although God will avenge Israel of it's enemies during the Tribulation Period, the Bible plainly states in Luke 21:24 that the Jews will suffer persecution until the Lord returns... "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Jerusalem, or portions thereof, may indeed be taken away from the Jews in the immediate future. God will defend Israel only at the end of the Tribulation Period, during the Battle of Armageddon, annihilating all the enemies of Israel.
We learn in Deuteronomy 28:15,16...
"But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these CURSES shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: CURSED shalt thou be in the city, and CURSED shalt thou be in the field."
Despite all the ridiculous Zionist propaganda today that "God blesses those who bless the Jews," consider carefully the CURSES which the Bible pronounces upon Jews who don't obey God. How ridiculous it is for anyone to think that God would bless a race simply because of their nationality. No Sir, the meaning behind God's love for Israel goes much deeper, and is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ which has made salvation available to ALL mankind.
The Word of God is abundantly clear that God is NO respecter of persons... "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him" (Romans 10:12). Jesus loves Muslims as much as He does Jews. Millions of Arabs were driven at gunpoint from their homes in 1948 without any compensation. That was a woeful evil, still awaiting justice today. Just as God punished Ahab and Jezebel for stealing Naboth's property (1st Kings 21:1-19), so will God punish those who stole the Arabs homes in 1848. Someone paid for those homes.
Jack Chick fails to expose the Godless Jewish Talmud, that actually permits Jewish rabbis to have sex with 3-year old girls. Most Jews today follow Judaism, which openly REJECTS Jesus Christ as the Messiah. We hear a lot from Jack Chick about the evils of Islam; but what about the filthy evil of Judaism? Something is wrong when a professed believer protects one false religion, while condemning another. Judaism and the Talmud are of the Devil as much as Islam.
God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to
make of their seed a "great nation" is still valid today. God will keep
His promise! Israel will be restored to her land of promise when Jesus
returns after the Tribulation Period to establish His literal earthly
Kingdom from Jerusalem. The Land of Palestine will once again flow with
milk and honey, and all manner of fruits, as it once did in the days of
Joshua.
Hurricane Statistics Disprove Chick's Theory
In a recent tract published by Jack Chick titled, SOMEBODY ANGRY?, he alleges that God is angry at the United States for helping steal Israel's land, which he says is evidenced by several major disastrous storms hitting the U.S. in 1992,1993, 2001, 2001 and 2005. However, a quick review of the following statistical storm data for the past 100 years plainly exposes Jack Chick as a false prophet...

Most of the major hurricanes to strike America occurred BEFORE Israel even became a nation, including the death of 6,000 victims in Galveston, Texas in the year 1900 due to massive flooding of their coastline city. American history is saturated with horrific disasters and acts of God. To further burst Jack Chick's Zionist fantasy, the
Here are the Top 10 worst hurricanes in U.S. history and number of deaths reported:
1. Great Galveston (TX) Hurricane (1900): 6,000-8,000

Of the 10 worst hurricanes listed, only 3 occurred while Israel was a nation. What is Jack Chick talking about? I am disappointed that any believer would be gullible enough to follow Zionist superstition.
Furthermore, many of the 1,833 victims of the
Katrina hurricane in 2005 were low-income Americans living in the New
Orleans area. Was God punishing the poor folks in New Orleans because of the
actions of wealthy elite politicians in The White House? If I were
God, I'd destroy "sin city" Las Vegas! You can't abandon common sense when
studying the Bible folks. The fact of the matter is that acts of God have
happened in every nation throughout history, including a massive 9.0
earthquake in 2004 that generated a deadly tsunami killing 226,000 people.
Did Sri Lanka mess with Israel too? Jack Chick ought to stop making tracks,
because he's really getting out in left-field doctrinally.
Most Jews Are Going to Hell
Zionists like to quote the Old Testament, but they need to read Romans 9:6-8 too...
"Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."
And very importantly, consider Galatians 3:29...
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Romans 9:6-8 and Galatians 3:29 plainly state that only born-again Christians are the true seed of promise. Only saved Jews will enter into the future Promised Land.
Jesus plainly told Nicodemus (a Jew) in John 3:3... "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 2nd Thessalonians 1:8 warns... "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." This includes Jews. No unsaved Jew will ever enter the Promised Land. This was true in Moses day (Hebrews 4:1,2), and it will be true when Jesus returns to restore Israel to their land. All Christ-rejecters, including all Judaizers, will be punished in the flaming fires of Hell forever.
Jack Chick is doing a horrible disservice to Jews today, by building up their false sense of pride in their own self-righteousness. Many Jews today are arrogant, stubborn, and saturated with sinful pride—because of the foolishness of Zionism that goes to their head. Zionism is defined as the movement to restore Israel to her homeland, and it's unbiblical. The problem is that God said it wouldn't happen until the Second Coming of the Messiah. Just as Abraham and Sara impatiently took matters into their own hands, because they didn't believe God would give them a son; so do many Jews today force the issue of restoring their Promised Land, and the heresy of Zionism has infiltrated many of our churches. What a bunch of confusion! It is ridiculous for unsaved Jews to fight and work to restore their homeland, when the Lake of Fire will be their eternal home. Only born-again Jews will be restored to The Promised Land when Jesus returns.
Zionism naturally instills in its followers a contempt for Muslims, and a biased loyalty toward Jews in general. This is unscriptural. Jack Chick needs to publish a tract exposing the evils of Judaism and the sexually-perverted Talmud. When a believer is so infatuated with Zionism that a tornado can't even set down without America being blamed for going against Israel... something is very wrong. If God were to immediately punish America for our sins, we would all be burning in the fires of Hell.
According to Luke 21:24 Israel will be "trodden down of the Gentiles" until the Lord Jesus Christ returns. The truth is that God owns the Land of Palestine today, and He has not promised it to the Jews until HE RETURNS.
