10 feet tall and bullet-proof

I just returned home after the Sunday gathering of the Body of Christ for worship. The preacher, Mike Bickle, was expounding on Zechariah 12 - 14. I won't attempt to re-cap what he said. For the notes, I direct you to the International House of Prayer link on this page. But I do want to comment on one phrase in the Zechariah passage. There will be a time when all the nations will gather against Israel (even moreso than currently is happening). Their gathering is described by Zechariah like this: "Behold I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples when they lay siege agains Judah and Jerusalem." In other words, when the assault begins, it will create in the attackers as sense of invincibility. They will be like drunks who will pick a fight with anyone -- in fact, some drunks will pick fights will whole groups of people -- the alcohol makes them feel "teen feet tall and bullet-proof." That seems to be the attitude of Hezbolah and Hamas right now. The thing we must all understand is that this attitude will only escalate. I pray that I will stand firm and not be part of the drunkenness! May we continue to pray with Paul that all Israel will be saved.

OK . . . one post makes you a blog, and two will make you a blogger. Press in, stay the course, blog again.
The real deal is, I just want to sponge off of your wisdom.
I am watching you and I know where you live.
Blessings,
