under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” 17
The church rallied around the movie The Passion of the Christ as a story about good versus evil. They did the same for the reelection campaign of George W. Bush. Christians saw the attacks against him as good versus evil. It is incumbent on the church to focus now on the source of all evil, Satan himself, and to pray for Christ to deliver us from that evil. I believe that if the church will make a commitment to 2 Chronicles 7:14 and to intercessory prayer, this passion for prayer and repentance will foment a Great Awakening in America that will spread throughout the world.

In 1991, I was in the Royal Palace of Madrid for most of the sessions of the Middle East Peace Conference. I noticed that the Israel and Arab delegations were not making eye contact, and when they did, you could see their bitterness. There was a spirit of unforgiveness. During one of the breaks, I met the Syrian foreign minister and the Egyptian ambassador.
I turned to the Egyptian ambassador and said, “Why don’t you forgive your brothers, as your most famous secretary of state and prime minister did?”
He looked at me, smiled, and said, “It never happened. We’ve never had such a man.”
I opened my Bible to the Book of Genesis and read him part of the story of Joseph in Egypt who forgave his brothers.
Benjamin Netanyahu, whom I recommended for his first position in Prime Minister Begin’s government in 1982, was shunned by President Clinton on numerous occasions because of Netanyahu’s moral clarity and his great admiration for Ronald Reagan. As a member of the National Press Club, I had the occasion to hear Benjamin Netanyahu speak to that group. He mentioned Ronald Reagan, his policies, and his admiration for him. The members of the NPC laughed in derision.
I share these two stories with you to illustrate that far too few are guided by the moral truths of the Bible, or even understand them. This is where Christians need to stand up the most. We are in the current conundrum because of a lack of moral clarity and an inability to know who our friends are and who our enemies are.
We must know our enemies. We have two opponents, the irreconcilable wing of Islam and the evil power that inspires it. Once God’s people see this clearly, we will plunder hell to populate heaven.
The basis for defeating the bigotry and despotism of Islamofascism is rooted in the Christian faith and moral clarity of George W. Bush, just as defeating Communism was rooted in the faith and moral vision of Ronald Reagan. Totalitarian regimes must be opposed. We must establish a biblical basis and principles for the battle that President Bush and America are fighting. This war cannot be won without this foundation. If we turn inward, relaxing in our own comforts, and stop promoting all the Judeo-Christian principles on which this nation was built, we too easily let evil have its way.
In the minds of Europe’s leftist elite, Bush is a bloodthirsty, dimwitted cowboy. (Ronald Reagan was given a similar label, yet it was he who coined the term “Iron Triangle” to define the marriage between the liberal special interest groups, the politicians, and the media.) They mock Mr. Bush and impugn his Christian faith for seeing the world as black or white. They see his moral compass as a dangerous instrument. They have fallen in love with appeasement because they do not believe in evil and thus refuse to confront it.
On September 11, 2001, evil surfaced in America in a way never before seen. The nation rallied to confront evil in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since that time, our wounds have healed, our senses have been deadened, and our memories dulled. I believe we are on the brink of the greatest opportunity in history to confront the source of all evil. If we fail, the results will be catastrophic.
