Israel Holds Its First Homosexual Beauty Contest
By Julio Severo
“Israel has emerged as one of the most progressive
Middle Eastern countries concerning LGBT rights, letting openly gay people
serve in the military and recognizing gay marriages from other countries,” said
AOL News.

Tel Aviv is today one of the world’s most gay-friendly
travel destinations, standing in sharp contrast to the rest of the Middle East,
where gays face persecution and death.
Among the contestants was Talleen Abu Hanna, a
21-year-old transsexual from a Catholic Arab family in the northern city of
Nazareth.
As AOL News noted, with this homosexual contest, Israel
emerges as a progressive nation. “Progressive” is a favorite term used by
liberals and left-wing activists to label the advance of their own cause. But
actually modern Israel was born progressive, by the hands of its mostly
left-wing founders.
Israel is generally tolerant toward homosexuality. Gays
openly serve in Israel’s military. In 1998, an Israeli homosexual singer, Dana
International, won the popular Eurovision song contest.
Last year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to
Facebook to address the LGBT community, as Tel Aviv kicked off its annual Pride
Week celebrations.
“The struggle for every person to be recognized as equal before the law is a long struggle,” Netanyahu wrote on his social media page, “and there is still a long way to go.”
“The struggle for every person to be recognized as equal before the law is a long struggle,” Netanyahu wrote on his social media page, “and there is still a long way to go.”
“As Pride Week continues, I want to send my blessing to
the LGBT community,” he said.
Israel has also been open to international homosexual
activists. Last January, Brazilian gay militant Jean Wyllys, who is a
representative in the Brazilian Congress, gave
a lecture on “homophobia” at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Wyllys has
built intense popularity among Brazilian socialists with uncompromising defenses
of liberal issues: introducing bills promoting marijuana legalization,
homosexual indoctrination of schoolchildren, full legalization of sex work
(prostitution), etc.
Yet, homosexuality is rejected in the ultra-Orthodox
Jewish communities in Israel.
The Jewish Bible has treated homosexuality as an
“abhorrence” for over 3,000 years. One of its verses says:
“Do not lie
with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorrence.” (Torah:
Leviticus 18: 22, Jewish Study Bible: Second Edition, Oxford University.)
So when Netanyahu sent his “blessing” to the Israeli
homosexual community, he contradicted his right-wing stance and, much worse,
denied his Torah, where God clearly wants the Jewish people to treat
homosexuality as an “abhorrence.”
King David, the most prominent political figure in the
Jewish history, said:
“Give unto
the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness.” (Psalms 29:2, King James Version)
This Psalm was originally directed to Israel, which was
the first people called to worship the LORD in the beauty of His holiness.
Yet, today Israel has preferred often to worship not
the Lord, but socialism and other politically correct ideologies and treat
homosexuality as “beautiful.”
This “beauty” is an abhorrence to YHWH, who created
Israel not for homosexual glories, but for His own glory.
Israel is in God’s Land, but the God of Israel also
needs a place in this Land and in the hearts of its inhabitants.

Yes to God it is an abomination. Israel always is disobedient to God but God has a purpose for Isrsel in these end times. Unfortunately Israel will learn the hard way when they welcome the anti Christ who promises them peace.
