There is ongoing furious warfighting in Israel. I was moved to re-read an essay (from 2002) entitled “When Devils Walk the Earth”[1]. Section Three has a list entitled “Fighting Terror: Do’s and Don’ts for a Superpower.”

It came to me that the savage war we find ourselves in, spiritual and kinetic, is being driven by Satan, the ultimate terrorist. Our God, however, is the Ultimate Superpower, Ultimate Warrior, the Ultimate Warfighter, and Ultimate Protector. HE will totally defeat and destroy terrorists. Here are a few rules of this conflict, and victory decrees:

Be Feared – Lord! You are!

Never Compromise, do not negotiate with terrorists, do not debate with them – Lord! You never do!

This is war, not a police action; terrorists have long ago refused God and refused reason. Therefore, they will be destroyed. Lord! You will!
