Discerning the Times

Two recent articles caught my eye this week. The first one involved Israel and the creation of a new weapon and the use of new nanotechnology. Israel is using nanotechnology to create a new type of paint created by an Israeli company named Nanoflight that will make drones, missiles, planes simply disappear. They are extremely difficult to detect by radar.  A successful test on the paint was concluded last week.

This technology is also extremely budget friendly compared to purchasing an American stealth fighter. This paint helps the plane absorb the radar energy and releases the radar waves as heat energy. There is also other uses for the technology and the discovery and use of this technology is still in its infancy.

Meanwhile, the second article focused on President Obama has plans to cut the US nuclear stockpile by up to 40% by 2021. This would continue the direction of reducing the US nuclear stockpile that has seen a 75% decrease since 1989. We currently have 5,113 warheads in the stockpile today. This new reduction would bring thr stockpile down to 3,500.

The two allied countries are heading in opposite directions. While Israel continues to develop technology to protect itself and is inventing new weapons everyday, the US is folding up its strength and going home. This is a scary time for the world as the US witrhdraws from the world scene from a military perspective. We have been keeping the peace for over 60 years.

Pray for the Lord’s return and while we wait pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for America.
