      Rogue Hearts - V. H. Moss

      INTRODUCTION

      After a horrific terrorist act takes place, for me, it takes a while to process information from ongoing media streams. And then once facts begin to trickle in through the media’s speculating talking heads, more processing is done when a name and face are attached to the word terrorist.

      With the 2001 New York bombing of the World Trade Center Towers, I sat in a Precept Ministries classroom, working on a pilot study for Kay Arthur when a television was rolled in. The first plane had slammed into one of the towers. And somehow I knew there would be another plane to follow and verbalized my thoughts to the person sitting next to me. I instinctively knew the first New York tragedy wasn’t a random act and that the United States was immediately at war. After that revelation, all I knew about the tragedy was what I gleaned from the news. I would have to wait to see the rest of history unfold.

      With that first plane’s explosion, it was a given our country would never be the same. Rogue hearts of bloody men were attacking us while the spirits of human beings lost in the carnage rose to heaven. With the American Civil War the last conflict within our country—a conflict I’d studied in name only, I and the American people were foolish to think two oceans would protect our homeland from extremists and another war on our soil forever.

      But who were these terrorists and why did they hate us so?

      I knew very little about Middle Eastern politics, but through inductive Bible study and secular reading, I was learning fast.

      According to the book of Genesis in the Old Testament the Canaanite and Phoenician people who lived in the Levant area of the Middle East—a small narrow strip of land that ran north of Egypt up to what is now Lebanon—were living in blatant sin. The entire world was morally corrupt. Idol worship was rampant and in the city of Ur, making idols was probably a big business, along with side businesses having to do with the Queen of Heaven cult which involved the prostitution of women in the name of religion.

      So, we’re not sure exactly why God (Yahweh) took a man by the name of Abram (whose name was later changed by God to Abraham) out of the city of Ur to move to the Levant area, however, it stands to reason he might have wanted to keep Abram’s wife Sarai, whose name was later changed by God to Sarah) pure and undefiled from the required temple prostitution. Because Abraham was an obedient servant of God, by Abrahamic covenant God gave the land to Abraham and his descendants.

      It was there the people known as the Israelites prospered under a few good kings—David and his son Solomon being the more famous—until the people began to be corrupted by the false idol worship and abhorrent practices introduced by pagan people surrounding them. Once again, after all God had done for them, the Israelites slid back into a way of life that was more expedient for them. They did what was right in their own eyes. They forgot the laws handed down to Moses and the promises of their ancestors to obey those laws.

      There have been wars and rumors of wars in the world from the beginning of time, but those wars are especially ongoing in the Middle East. And now the terrorist acts have begun again on America’s soil, the soil that
