Mask Is Off: Hamas Bombs University, Demands "Jews Out Of Israel"
Hamas spokesman Abdel Aziz Rantisi made it quite clear today. He said that terrorist attacks will continue until all Jews leave Israel.
Rantisi made the remarks while claiming responsibility on behalf of Hamas for the slaughter of seven more people in Jerusalem this afternoon. A very powerful bomb exploded inside a school bag on a table inside a Hebrew University cafeteria shortly before 2 PM, killing the seven and wounding close to 90, including 12 people in serious and grave condition. Almost everyone in the cafeteria at the time was hurt to some degree. The wounded were taken to several Jerusalem hospitals, including nearby Hadassah-Mt. Scopus. While the general student population is currently on summer vacation, many foreign students, new immigrants and others are on campus for summer session courses and to prepare for the coming academic year.
All the negotiations with Islam for peace will always come down to this final statement by Abdel Aziz Rantisi. "until all Jews leave Israel." Should Islam ever gain it's demands who would not expect their next statement would be they will never stop until every Jew on earth is dead! It is not just Hamas, but the vast majority of Islam that thinks this way.
It is God's plan as revealed in the Bible that the Jews should return to the Holy Land in this our generation. Dispensations are about to change, and God is about to graft the natural olive branches back into the natural root. Islam opposes the God of the Bible, and His chosen people the Jews. The real issue is resisting the God of the Bible!
The aim of the war on terrorism is to change the most fanatical governments in Islam, but it is doomed to fail. In the end this will only prove to be an exercise in futility. A false peace that takes no regard to what God has revealed in the Bible. The hate of Islam against the Jews will never be changed. The plan of God for the Holy Land will never be addressed. Such a false peace can only lead to the Great Tribulation the Bible says is coming!
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!
Thy Kingdom Come
Isa 9:6-7
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
KJV
Ps 145:10-13
10All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

Deut 9:5
5Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Thousands Of Arabs Dance In The Streets Following Attack
Young Hamas supporters in the Gaza Strip Wednesday night celebrating the Hebrew University bombing in Jerusalem.
(Photo: AP)Thousands of Arabs living in PLO-controlled Gaza City took to the streets last night to celebrate the deadly bombing at Hebrew University. Music blared from speakers as Arabs, both young and old danced and sang into the late hours of the night. Several men climbed on to the roof of a car and threw candy into the crowd. The scene was reminiscent of the party that erupted in the Arab street throughout Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) following the September 11, 2001 attack on America.
It is the culture of Islam that forecasts it's own doom. The first time the Jews entered Canaan the Lord was very clear that it was not because the Jews were so good that the LORD thy God drove out the heathen, but it was because the heathen were so bad. I know of no culture worthy of a similar judgment then one that would party in the streets to the wee hours rejoicing over the bombing of a University, and the targeting of the international student body knowing many Jews would be included among the victims! It is a culture not seen since the Nazis and Japs of World War Two. The world was so enraged at the acts of barbarism committed by those cultures that total destruction was the only acceptable end to such regimes. The fire bombing of Dresden, and the atomic bombs on Japan's civilian populations were the only practical end.
I know Islam will temporarily survive the present war on terrorism. An invasion of Iraq will not change the Islamic culture. The peace coming after the war on terrorism will not change the culture either. It is the LORD thy God who will again drive out the heathen who stand against His chosen people. The land was taken from the Canaanites because of their wickedness, and the same LORD thy God will take it from the Islamic, Arab, Palestinians! The heathen have no part in the coming Jewish Kingdom!
The Bible and it's record of Jewish history is the key to understanding what is happening in Israel today. God does not change. It is men who must change. It is stiff-necked men who must be weaned from the world to Biblical righteousness. It is men once weaned who must then stand firm without wavering on the firm foundation of the Bible. The Christian Church has lost it's fundamental doctrinal foundation because men changed. They did not stand firm! Born again has been turned into sideshow vanity. Revivals are in name only as the converts to vanity do not change. The lifestyles of those who seek relief do not change because their faith is not in Christ alone. Being born again is nothing more then vanity in main stream Christianity. The time for dispensational change is here. The true Christians must step aside for the coming Jewish Kingdom. The great apostate Church that will be left behind will be the fodder for the antichrist as he takes control. The vanity of false professions in Christ will prove valueless when the LORD thy God examines the hearts of those who added other things to their faith in Christ! Their doom is as certain as the doom of Islam in Ezekiel 38 & 39!
The Wicked Lose to the Rebellious
Deut 9:1-7
9:1Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

Deut 1:8
8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

MANY CHILDREN OF MIXED MARRIAGES DON'T CONSIDER THEMSELVES JEWISH
Children with only one Jewish parent are less likely to have a link to religion and to even define themselves as Jewish, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles found that the children of mixed marriages have a tenuous link with religion, and many have lost all connection with Judaism.
The findings have caused a stir in the US, where almost half the approximately 6,000,000 Jewish population marries out of the faith and the study confirms the thinking that the second generation in mixed marriages loses its connection to Judaism.
The gap between those born to two Jewish parents and those who had only one Jewish parent was vast: While more than 90 percent of those born to two Jewish parents defined themselves as Jews, fewer than half of those from mixed marriages did.
The study found that on the whole, Jewish students consider themselves less religious than non-Jewish students. The Jewish students also appeared to be more liberal, more permissive and more in favor of the use of marijuana than non-Jewish students.
The study was commissioned by the Hillel Jewish students' organization. Hundreds of students were polled during their first year in college.
I'm told there are more Jews in New York City then in all of Israel, but not any longer! It appears the melting pot of America is a greater threat to the Jews then Hamas. It seems another reason why the time is right for dispensational change. These statistics would indicate the literal fulfillment of a Jewish Kingdom in Israel will soon be limited only to those Jews living there. There will be no other Jews of any sizable amount. The only future for Jews is in Israel. America is now known as a death zone. It is not the horrific deaths as meted out by Hamas, but is is death of the Jews none the less. A lullaby to easy living, and racial tolerance takes a greater toll then all the terrorists. Let me be clear! Racial tolerance and intermarriage among all the gentile races is proper. Christian (born again) marriages no matter what the races is Biblical. Marriage of a born again Christian with someone who is not saved is forbidden no matter what the race! Jews should marry Jews unless the Jew is saved.
The God of the Bible made some promises to the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is a miracle that the Jew is still here to be the beneficiary of those promises. They have maintained their purity while nations greater and mightier then they have fallen into the dung heap of Godless oblivion. God has promised He will graft back the natural branch into the natural root. Had God not returned the Jews to the Holy Land in this our generation, there may have been no Jews left by the next? God's timing is always right even if men can't comprehend why He does what He does when He does it. The Jews are back in the Holy Land no matter what a thorn the world may perceive their presents there might be. They will not leave no matter how much Hamas might threaten. It is a battle to the death, and God is clearly on the side of the Jews whom He placed there. Whom He promised He would gather together one last time for His purposes. A Palestine State will never stop God from keeping His promises to the natural seed! A Palestinian State can only go into the same Godless oblivion as all their gentile predecessors have done.
First Coming and First and Second Returns
Ps 105:6-15
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
KJV
Isa 41:8-14
8But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Whitehall dossier says Saddam plans biological weapons for Palestinians
SADDAM HUSSEIN is suspected of planning to arm a Palestinian terrorist group with biological weapons to attack either American or Israeli targets.
A Whitehall dossier containing a detailed assessment of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction programme, which has been circulated to the Prime Minister and other senior Cabinet ministers, is understood to focus on Iraq’s biological weapons capability.
Details of the dossier came to light as the United Nations rejected a new offer from the Iraqi leader. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, said that an Iraqi letter calling for a further round of technical talks with Hans Blix, the head weapons inspector, set conditions “at variance” with the demands of the United Nations Security Council.
Using mobile laboratories for their research, the team of scientists working for Saddam are believed to be developing a range of biological agents that can be “delivered” by an aerosol system.
The latest assessment in Washington and London is that Saddam’s plan is to produce a basic weapon that can be used by a terrorist group to attack the Iraqi leader’s enemies, the United States and Israel. In the same way that Iran has funded and trained terrorist groups to carry out attacks from Lebanon against Israel, Saddam, according to the assessment, could be banking on recruiting a Palestinian terrorist group to act on his behalf.
The collusion of these two former enemies is brought about only because of their united Islamic hate for the Jews. They want a higher body count then what their Palestinian brothers are getting through explosives lased with nails and screws. They want the Jews to die slow tortuous deaths that only biological and chemical weapons can deliver. The world had it's fill of those kind of weapons after World War One. It can only be a culture such as Islam that would turn to the worst of the worst in their hatred for one ethnic group. America is included only because we doggedly stand with Israel on the side of right. It is all because of the Jew, and the Islamic hate for Jews that has the entire world in turmoil.
It seems like invasion Iraq is imminent. Saddam's old ploy of false negotiations are not working this time. The problem is no Islamic government after the fall of Saddam will have a change of heart toward the Jews. They will talk of peace bidding their time until their hate can't be restrained any longer. The false peace will only lead to the Great Tribulation in the book of Revelation. Nothing can stop the events about to take place! I look beyond the war to the peace that will come out of it. I look at the ingrained hate of Islam against the Jews, and realize it is a hate unto death.
Ezekiel 38 & 39 has already told us of the end of old Persia (Iran and Iraq) in the latter years. It will be because of greed and hate for the Jews. Persia is only the Eastern arm of a three pronged Islamic invasion led by the Gog (Islamic part of the old USSR) that ends in total disaster as the God of the Bible intervenes. It is a terrible epitaph to a mighty people who deliberately challenged God and lost.

The End of Old Persia as Part of the Gog
Ezek 38:8-23
8After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Gen 16:11-12
11And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

13 killed in day of terrorism
Israel was rocked Sunday by a wave of terrorist attacks from north to south.
Late Sunday night, Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a private car, killing 2 and injuring two. The car was on road number 60, travelling north of Ramallah.
Israel Radio reported that the 2 who were killed were the mother and father of the family, while the 2 injured were 2 of their children. The children were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital in Jerusalem.
In the most deadly incident, nine people were killed and over 60 wounded in a suicide bomber attack aboard a crowded bus near the Meron junction south of Safed.
The attacks began in the Gaza Strip before dawn, when a Palestinian frogman swam ashore armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and eight grenades. He had apparently swum along the coastline before emerging near the Jewish settlements of Dugit and Elei Sinai, where he exchanged fire with soldiers before being killed.
Following the bus attack near Safed, three soldiers were wounded, one moderately and two lightly, in Nablus when a bomb exploded as they were conducting searches in the city.
The next incident occurred at about 11:40, when two Israelis were killed in Jerusalem near the Old City's Damascus Gate by a terrorist who fired a pistol at the driver of a Bezeq truck, then opened the door of the truck and shot dead the security guard. An Israeli Arab sitting in a nearby coffee shop was killed as police exchanged fire with and killed the gunman.
About two hours later, one Israeli was seriously wounded and three others were lightly wounded near Avnei Hefetz in western Samaria, when Palestinian terrorists in a passing car fired on a car whose family occupants had just given a lift to a hitchhiker.
One hour later a roadside bomb was detonated alongside two passing IDF jeeps on what is known as the "Wallerstein Road" which bypasses Ramallah to the north, connecting Beit El and Dolev. Terrorists then opened fire at the vehicle, wounding four soldiers; one seriously, two moderately, and the other lightly.
This is a terrible view for what Israel has to look forward to as it's future. The seed of Ishmael has a single first goal of driving the Jews out of the Holy Land. They will never stop even if the Jews were somehow forced out. Their arrogance is so great that all Jews worldwide would be required to die. They have visions of grandeur that they, their false god Allah, and their book of nonsense the Koran are destine to rule the universe. It is contrary to what the Bible says, and is just not going to happen! The world is never going to bow down to this wild man!
These Palestinians must be reigned in like any wild animal that is out of control. There will never be peace in the world as long as this wild man is not subdued.
It is clear that enough of the world takes a certain amount of sadistic pleasure in seeing the Jews frustrated and tortured by this wild man. Outrage is contained, and even sympathy granted to these Jew killers. The seed of Ishmael picked the right victims to release their dogs from hell on first. The Jews might be the right victims from a worldly perspective, but the worst choice that ever could be made from God's perspective. It is the seed of Isaac not Ishmael that the God of the Bible has chosen. It is the Bible not the Koran that God has chosen to reveal His future intent. It is the God of Isaac not the god of Ishmael who holds the future in His hand.
The Seed of Ishmael Rejected
Gen 21:10-14
10Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
KJVGal 4:22-31
2For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

ARABS DANCE AS ISRAEL MOURNS
At least 10,000 Hamas supporters danced in the streets of Gaza City last night in celebration of yesterday’s deadly terror attacks against Israel. Similar parties were held last week following the Hebrew University bombing that claimed seven lives.
The Yesha Rabbis Council declared today that the Arabs who dance and celebrate the murder of Israelis are not innocent. They said that Israel must make it clear over the Palestinian media that the response to future crowds of such celebrants would be an air strike. The Council also said that the government must adopt an offensive approach, instead of the failed policies of restraint and response:
"The government must collect all of the enemy's weapons. As of now, only 10% of the weapons they were given have been collected or destroyed - and this does not include the weapons they smuggled in on their own."
This Arab culture based on hate, and murder is taking it's toll. I know secular air strikes against the jubilant crowds is not the right answer. I doubt an Israeli pilot could be found to carry out such an order? I think the Yesha Rabbis Council would be hard pressed to find someone to actually pull the trigger even out of their own? A test of two cultures, and the god they are willing to worship can only have meaning when all other avenues are closed. The God of the Bible is willing to restore, but His attributes are right and pure and holy. It is man who must come to Him under His standards. The real God of the Bible will never stoop to the hate filled standards of sin filled men!
It is the Jews that God is weaning from the ways of the world. The future culture of the Jewish Kingdom will be based on righteousness, purity, and holiness. Not all Jews are willing to wait on God! Almost no gentiles are willing to submit! It is God who through Great Tribulation knows how to change the hearts of the Jews to Himself. A truly humble heart can only be proved out of great humiliation. The Lord Jesus Christ was greatly humiliated on the cross, but He proved what the truth of His heart was all about. He could have pulled the very breath out of those who mocked Him, but He refused to lower Himself to their sin filled ways. There was no more humble man to ever walk on this planet.
The God of the Bible is preparing His chosen people to inherit a Kingdom that is altogether lovely. It does not come cheap. It cost God the blood sacrifice of His only begotten Son. That blood will only be applied to those lost sinners willing to come His way. There is no other way then in Christ!
The Right Way is the Only Way
Ps 1:1-6
1:1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
KJV
John 14:5-7
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Briefing Depicted Saudis as Enemies
Ultimatum Urged To Pentagon BoardBy Thomas E. Ricks
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 6, 2002; Page A01
A briefing given last month to a top Pentagon advisory board described Saudi Arabia as an enemy of the United States, and recommended that U.S. officials give it an ultimatum to stop backing terrorism or face seizure of its oil fields and its financial assets invested in the United States.
"The Saudis are active at every level of the terror chain, from planners to financiers, from cadre to foot-soldier, from ideologist to cheerleader," stated the explosive briefing. It was presented on July 10 to the Defense Policy Board, a group of prominent intellectuals and former senior officials that advises the Pentagon on defense policy.
"Saudi Arabia supports our enemies and attacks our allies," said the briefing prepared by Laurent Murawiec, a Rand Corp. analyst. A talking point attached to the last of 24 briefing slides went even further, describing Saudi Arabia as "the kernel of evil, the prime mover, the most dangerous opponent" in the Middle East.
The briefing did not represent the views of the board or official government policy, and in fact runs counter to the present stance of the U.S. government that Saudi Arabia is a major ally in the region. Yet it also represents a point of view that has growing currency within the Bush administration -- especially on the staff of Vice President Cheney and in the Pentagon's civilian leadership -- and among neoconservative writers and thinkers closely allied with administration policymakers.
One administration official said opinion about Saudi Arabia is changing rapidly within the U.S. government. "People used to rationalize Saudi behavior," he said. "You don't hear that anymore. There's no doubt that people are recognizing reality and recognizing that Saudi Arabia is a problem."
The decision to bring the anti-Saudi analysis before the Defense Policy Board also appears tied to the growing debate over whether to launch a U.S. military attack to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. The chairman of the board is former Pentagon official Richard N. Perle, one of the most prominent advocates in Washington of just such an invasion. The briefing argued that removing Hussein would spur change in Saudi Arabia -- which, it maintained, is the larger problem because of its role in financing and supporting radical Islamic movements.
The Defense Policy Board has it right! The Islamic Saudi government is a snake in the grass just giddy over how it makes the powerful West play foolishly right into it's hands. The immoral sheiks smirk in their desert palaces dripping in oil wealth gained from the West while Islam as a whole is in poverty. These malicious manipulators expert in cunning deal making have used the rest of Islam to do their dirty work, and then sit back, hands off, letting them suffer the consequences when things go bad. The Saudis hate the Jews, and every Jewish murder has Saudi money behind it.
I would hope the apparently imminent invasion of Iraq will include Saudi Arabia. I have no idea how this will all play out? What I do know is that a false peace excluding God's revealed plans for the Holy Land is coming. A peace that will only lead to the Last Jihad, and the Great Tribulation found in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation.
Another thing I know is that a great material based entity will be centered in Babylon/Baghdad during the Great Tribulation. The entire world economy will be under the control of the antichrist (leader of the West) during that time. I suppose the Saudis might even deal their way into the antichrist's economic control of the world through the city of Babylon? The fall of Babylon will signal the fall of the antichrist's visions of grandeur at the end of the Great Tribulation. We are probably witnessing the beginning of the rise of a Western controlled Baghdad which is the original Babylon in the Bible. The next few weeks may set the foundation for the economic center of the antichrist as pictured in Revelation?
There are two Babylons in the book of Revelation. One is the religious Babylon the mother of harlots which is apostate Christianity both liberal and conservative united, and left behind after the rapture. The other is the city of Babylon which Saddam Hussein has been restoring for years. It is the original Babylon of the Bible. The home of the infamous Nebuchadnezzar. The city of Baghdad sits on top of the ruins. This city is waiting restoration into the financial center of the world controlling all the Middle East oil reserves. This could happen with the fall of Saddam, and Western control of the replaced government? It just may be we will soon see how the antichrist from the West will be able to control the world through an economic dictatorship?
The Fall of Babylon/Baghdad
Rev 18
18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld: What Occupation?
US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld yesterday questioned whether Israel should turn over any more Yesha land (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) to the Palestinian Authority because according to Rumsfeld, “There is no question that the Palestinian Authority has been involved in terrorist activities.” Speaking at a gathering of Pentagon officials, Rumsfeld acknowledged that Israel is not an occupying power in Yesha, but rather has a right to the land obtained in a defensive war of survival. "My feelings about the so-called occupied territories are that there was a war," said Rumsfeld referring to the 1967 Six-Day War. He added, "Israel urged neighboring countries not to get involved in it once it started. They all jumped in and they lost a lot of real estate to Israel because Israel prevailed in the conflict."
Rumsfeld also said that the “settlements” should not be the focus of Arab Israeli diplomacy but rather he said, “The real point is to find an effective interlocutor [on the Arab side].” Rumsfeld’s remarks come as a PA delegation lead by Saeb Erekat heads to Washington to meet with top level US officials.
RUMSFELD SPEAKS HIS MIND
In unusually candid remarks for a high US Administration official, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday that Israeli settlements are not "illegal," and that Israel should not have to cede land to a "terror
entity."
While US President George W. Bush has pronounced an official policy of working towards establishing a Palestinian state within three years, Rumsfeld told a Pentagon press briefing that he felt only "some sort of entity" would eventually be established in Palestinian areas.
He said there is "no doubt" that the Palestinian Authority has been involved in terrorism and he doubted that Israel could hand over land to any such Palestinian entity.
In a wide-ranging airing of his opinions, Rumsfeld said that Israel took the "so-called occupied territories" in a legitimate defensive war.
"Israel urged neighboring countries not to get involved in it once it started. They all jumped in and they lost a lot of real estate to Israel, because Israel prevailed in the conflict," Rumsfeld said.
This is probably a propaganda ploy to influence the negotiations with the Palestinians in Washington this week. It is the first time that a Palestinian State has been removed as a carrot. It is the right direction to go, and Rumsfeld's assessment of the situation is correct. Jordan lost the land of Judah and Samaria (West Bank) as the spoils of war because they attacked Israel. The Jordanians have no claim nor do they even want to claim the lands lost. The Jordanians want no part of the wild Arab population left behind after the 1967 war. They want no part in taming these wild men who have in the past vented their anger on the Jordanian government as they do on Israel.
Israel has yet to take the responsibility of annexing all the West Bank and Gaza. God has given them the land of Judah and Samaria with all the heartache that goes with it. Israel must (or should) step up, and incorporate these conquered lands into the greater Israel. They must (or should) take on the responsibility of taming the wild men living there. Israel of old tamed the Anakims who were a much greater people then the Palestinian Arabs of today. It will take the wisdom, power, and the wrath of God to do what needs to be done, but if Israel will turn to their God; He will solve the Middle East Conflict forever.
It would be good if Rumsfeld would also acknowledge that the Oslo peace accords have never had an ounce of peace in them at any time. These false peace declarations must also be realistically evaluated. Straight forward truthful speaking is the real need in dealing with all the problems in the Middle East!
Deut 9:1-7
9:1Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

Terror attacks up 90% in first half of year
Almost two years after the outbreak of Palestinian violence, the police said Wednesday that its current working assumption is that both the number and the severity of terror attacks will only increase in the months ahead.
"We envision that the number of terror attacks will only grow, and that there will be more difficult and more complex terror attacks," Insp.-Gen. Shlomo Aharonishky told at a press conference at police headquarters in Jerusalem yesterday, during which he presented the bi-annual report on terror and crime.
The statistics released, which cover the first six months of the year, show that the number of terror attacks increased by 90% over the same time last year, which had been dubbed "the year of terror" by police brass.
Police recorded a total of 1,071 attacks, compared to 562. Within the Green Line, the number of attacks was up 67%, with the greatest number of attacks, 49, in Jerusalem.
In those attacks, 238 people were killed, more than a third of the total since the outbreak of violence 22 months ago.
Aharonishky noted that 25 additional terror attacks were averted by security officials.
"There is no doubt that police activity thwarted hundreds and thousands of Israeli casualties," Aharonishky said.
He noted that police have inaugurated a new "emergency unit" to deal with situations including war, missile attacks, and the use of non-conventional weapons.
These are sorrowful days for the children of Abraham. Ishmael and Isaac are locked in mortal combat. The one is rejected the other chosen.
There is purpose in everything God does. The seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob needs to return to the Bible. They need to find the God of their fathers. They must separate themselves from the secular world with all it's phony religions, and serve the God of the Bible correctly. They must build the Temple. They must reinstitute the statutes of blood sacrifice as the God of their fathers commanded.
God is preparing His children to again be obedient to Him. There is an end to the conflict, but it will only come when the Jews learn to trust and obey!
Lev 26:15-19
15And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

Associated PressTAXILA, Pakistan — Three attackers hurled grenades Friday at women leaving a church on the grounds of a Presbyterian hospital in Pakistan, killing three nurses and wounding about 25 people in the second attack this week against Christians.
One of the attackers also died in the assault at 7:45 a.m. on the grounds of the hospital in Taxila. All the victims were Pakistanis, and about half were seriously wounded, police said.
The attack is the latest in a series of terrorist incidents here since Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf sided with the United States against the Afghan Taliban, outraging extremists.
Police said they believed the attack in Taxila, 25 miles northwest of Islamabad, was linked to an assault four days ago against a school for children of Christian missionaries in which six Pakistanis were killed.
"It is clear that terrorists are targeting the Christian community in Pakistan," said S.K. Tressler, the government minister in charge of minority affairs. "The entire Pakistani nation will have to fight terrorism."
They boldly attack women and children then party over their brave warriors. This culture of wild men have sealed their own fate. They are destine to the same dung heap of history as all similar cultures like theirs. The hate for Jews comes first, and when Jews aren't available they go after Christian woman and children. Germany suffered great loss for supporting the Nazis of yesteryear. Occupied Europe suffered because of it's complacency with Hitler's final solution. This Islamic movement of hate will not only destroy the wicked perpetrators, but all those countries that show the same complicity as Europe did during the war years.
These are mad men consumed by hate. There is no rational discourse with them. Their false god Allah has caused them to go wild with hate, pride, and envy. Their false book the Koran contradicts the Bible saying they are the chosen, and the Jews and Christians are the rejected.
God is in the process of restoring the Jews. He has already miraculously restored them to the Holy Land so the Bible prophecies can literally be fulfilled through His chosen people. We await the restoration of the Jewish spirit as they turn back to the Bible, and the God of their fathers. Dispensational change is so clearly approaching. The rapture of the true Church of only "born again" Christians is next. Only then will God breath spirit into the Jews. The apostate Church left behind will remain as blind as it is today, but the Jews will see. It will all make sense as they see the purpose of God in the coming Jewish Kingdom.
It is all so close! Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done!
Only Isaac Chosen
Gen 25:8-10
8Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
KJV
Gen 17:19-21
19And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

MK KLEINER VISITS TEMPLE MOUNT
Right-wing Member of Knesset Michael Kleiner was granted permission to briefly visit the Temple Mount on Thursday night.
The Herut party member led several hundred mostly religious demonstrators through the narrow streets of the Old City of Jerusalem on the way to the Mount's entrance, before he stepped into a corner of the compound himself. "The Temple Mount, the holiest site for Judaism, has been decreed Judenrein," Kleiner complained.
The group passed a counterdemonstration of Peace Now supporters. "You are asking for more spilled blood" shouted a member of the group.
The Temple Mount area has been off limits to Christians and Jews since then-Opposition leader Ariel Sharon's controversial visit to the area just prior to the outbreak of violence almost two years ago.
Israeli authorities enforced the ban in order to limit potential violence on the Mount after September 29, 2000. No archeologists have been allowed to the area either, worrying those concerned with the rich treasure of artifacts buried there. This has been the longest period of time without archeological supervision and non-Muslim visitors since June 1967.
As tough as Israel appears in dealing with the Palestinians. As powerful as the Israeli army is in moving into the nests of terrorism. Yet, the greatest insult of all remains unaddressed. The Islamic Arabs have openly, in your face, desecrated the Temple Mount defacing and eradicating all archaeological evidence of Jewish origin. The Moslem Waqf has forbidden all but Moslems to visit the Mount. Their plan is to empty and cleanse all the cisterns on the Mount, and then fill them with Moslem holy water. They will then write their own history declaring the Mount as the Garden of Eden, and forever be a great Islamic shrine.
The Jewish secular government does nothing. The reason why is because the value of the Mount means no more to them then the political advantage they can gain from it. The God of their fathers who chose this single spot to have His house built in the past is ignored. They see themselves as masters of their own destiny, and controlling the direction Israel will go by their own wits. There is no obligation felt toward God's future plans for the Temple Mount.
Nothing short of another (or in this case two) Old Testament Prophet can lead Israel into a proper appreciation for this most holy site. Nothing short of another Old Testament Prophet can stir the children of Israel to cleanse all Islamic influence off the Mount, and build the Holy Third Jewish Temple on it's surface. The filth of the heathen will soon be removed by a movement of holiness among the Jews. A movement back to the Bible. A movement of the spirit back to the God of their fathers. The rapture of born again believers will be first, but then comes the Jewish Kingdom!
The Next Prophets of the Bible
Rev 11:1-7
11:1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

IDF plans response to Iraqi Scud attack
Senior military planners have accelerated internal discussions on how to respond should Scud missiles hit here once again in response to a US strike on Iraq, sources said.
As the IDF begins deploying a second battery of the Arrow-2 anti-missile missile, intended to intercept Iraqi Scuds, near Hadera, IDF planners are formulating a so-called "graduated response" a set of military options to suit a range of scenarios, including whether Saddam Hussein dispatches conventional or non-conventional warheads.
As the IDF readies its defenses, there is also fear in Washington that Saddam, knowing a US strike intended to end his rule is near, could preemptively strike Israel.
"That is a concern, a possibility we are aware of," one US official said.
In that event, Israel could respond before the US even begins its military operation.
Many here, however, discount the possibility of an Iraqi preemptive strike. Saddam, according to one Israeli official, "knows he has a lot to lose. He knows what Israel has."
Officials say Israel has made it clear to the US that it will respond if attacked. They say the situation is different from the 1991 Gulf War when the US, hoping to hold together its coalition, heavy with Arab partners, asked Jerusalem not to respond to Scud attacks.
This time, at least so far, there is no coalition and the US is planning to try to oust Saddam more or less unilaterally.
"This time, if Israel is attacked like it is attacked every day now and it exercises its right to self-defense it will do so vis-a-vis Iraq," an official said.
Coordination between Israel and the US is ongoing and at a senior level. Israel expects to have several days' warning before any US attack on Iraq.
The Arrow-2 anti-missile system has been hastily deployed. It looks good on paper and preliminary testing, but the seriousness of the Iraqi threat prompted deployment months if not years ahead of normal preparation and testing. Saddam would have to be a fool to fire his scuds in a preemptive strike against Israel, but Saddam is a desperate man who has proven foolish in his decisions of the past. He certainly would have no qualms in sacrificing the Iraqi people for his own visions of grandeur.
I think it possible Saddam has realized the mother of all invasions is near when Islam will have it's final showdown with the Jews of Israel. I think he can see the probability he won't be around to participate much less lead the Islamic armies to envisioned victory. It is reason enough for Saddam to preempt a US invasion with an invasion of his own? A preemptive strike against Israel with a call to all Islam to join in his Jihad invasion is not beyond contemplation. Israel has certainly contemplated, and prepared for just such a scenario.
I have no insight as to what is going to happen with Iraq in the next few months. I do know that the last Jihad of Ezekiel 38 & 39 will not be led by a fool from the East. The Bible says the last Jihad will be led by Islamic's (Gog - the chief prince) from the North! The East (Persia) will participate, but not lead. Saddam is a fool and a tyrant, and I would not expect Islam to follow his lead. I watch Islamic
leadership North of the Caucasus Mountains for the one who will fulfill the destiny indicated in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Saddam's destiny seems to be coming to an end.

The Islamic Gog from the North Lead
Ezek 38:1-9
38:1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

UNITED PALESTINIAN POLITICAL PLATFORM IN THE OFFING
An all-Palestinian political platform, which even includes a Hamas representative, has defined its national goal as establishing a state inside the 1967 borders, and implied it rejects attacks inside Israel.
IDF sources said they regard progress on the document as "positive" because, said one source, "the direction they are going for is positive. If it brings a little quiet, there will be something to talk about with the Palestinians."
The 12-member Supreme Intifada Organizing Committee, an umbrella group of Palestinian interests including Hamas and Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, met on Sunday to approve and sign the platform. Hamas did not sign the document, however.
The document, according to Monday's edition of Ha'aretz, is said to have three parts: an outline of Palestinian goals, including a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders; a plan to democratize Palestinian institutions; and the perceived legitimate ways to advance these goals, including the political struggle and popular resistance to the occupation.
Although Hamas participated in the drafting of the plan, they failed to attend a signing of the draft on Sunday, pointing to a rift in the terrorist organization between the desire to go on with "military operations" and a willingness to reflect the growing realization in the Palestinian community that the terrorist campaign against Israel runs counter to Palestinian national interests.
It is not the war and conflict, but the phony peace that is the real danger in the future. The Koran tells the Palestinians that Allah is god, and Islam is the chosen religion that will rule the planet. The Bible says the Jews are the chosen people, and the coming Jewish Kingdom with it's Temple at Jerusalem on the Temple Mount will rule the world. These are two opposing positions which can never be compromised. One is true, and the other a lie. One must submit to the other, or be destroyed in judgment!
Contemporary history indicates the time is near for dispensational change. The last dispensation revealed to come in the Bible is almost prepared. The Jews have miraculously returned to the Holy Land in our generation. The only thing needed now is for the Spirit to move from the Christian Church to Judaism, and the Jewish Kingdom age will begin. Fundamental Christians have long recognized the rapture of all born again believers signals the end of the Church age. We have always known that the same Jesus Christ who we gave our hearts to is also the Jewish Messiah. We know that He is coming again to rule planet earth from Jerusalem as the King of the Jews! We know the God of the Bible has promised to change the hearts of the Jews just as He changed our hearts when we came to Christ.
There is no compromise with these truths. There is no room for a heathen god, and a heathen state within Israel. When the dispensational change takes place, the Palestinians must either submit to the God of the Bible, or be judged. There is just no room for compromise! The conflict between Islam, the Koran, and the false god Allah against the God of the Bible is too great to be covered over with words of peace. It just is not possible. No compromised peace can ever stop the conflict that must reach a final solution. It is the Bible, or the Koran! It is the God of the Bible, or Allah. It will all be settled on the mountains and fields of Israel!
The Great Islamic Sacrifice
Ezek 39:2-4
2And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
KJV
Ezek 39:17-19
17And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

Ex 32:7-11
7And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
KJV
Only .1% of the Jews participated in worshipping the golden calf. Yet God's reaction makes it clear he is blaming the whole nation. What's going on here?
The day for this infamous event is forever marked in the Hebrew calendar -- 17th of Tammuz. This would be the day later in history on which the walls of Jerusalem would be breached by the Babylonians and the Romans prior to the destruction of both the first and the second Temple.
It is very important to analyze what happened with the golden calf and why the Torah criticizes the Jewish people so harshly for this sin. And indeed what is revealed here about how God views the Jewish people.
After the greatest national revelation experience in human history when the whole nation hears God, Moses goes up the mountain and comes down 40 days later to find a group dancing around an idol.
Now if I'd had an encounter with the Infinite Creator of the Universe speaking to me and I heard Him say "I am God, don't worship anything else," I don't think I would be stupid enough to be jumping around a golden cow. So what's going on in this story?
This is a classic case of knowing how to correctly read the text of the Bible. When I say correctly read, I mean, ideally in Hebrew but certainly with the commentators because there's an
oral explanation going along with the simple, very brief description in the text.When Moses came down the mountain, were all 3 million Jews dancing around a golden calf? No. The Torah in Exodus 32:28 says it was only about 3 thousand people, mostly the mixed multitude of individuals who left with the Jews because they were so impressed by what went on with the Ten Plagues.
That means only .1% of the Jews participated and 99.9% of the Jews did nothing wrong. Yet God's reaction makes it clear he is blaming the whole nation.
AN EXACTING STANDARD
God holds the Jews to a very high standard because they have a unique responsibility in human history. The world won't get perfected without the Jews and if, God forbid, the Jews blow it, all of humanity, not just the Jewish people, will be doomed. Therefore, the Bible uses hyper-critical language to bring home some important principles:
- According to your level of knowledge is your level of responsibility. The mistakes of people in positions of power have huge consequences.
- According to your level of responsibility is your level of accountability. The greater you are, the bigger the impact of your decisions, therefore you must be held to an extremely high standard.
The Jewish people had been given the responsibility for the world at Mount Sinai, and these principles explain the criticism that God levels against Jews and why it is so super-strong.
The Golden Calf is the theme of this web site. The Jewish people have long recognized their failure at Mount Sinai on that terrible day. They identify it as a failure of leadership. Aaron let the wrong people take charge. He was willing to go along with idolatrous traditions of the world, and lustful exhibitions of sinful worship.
Today the struggle between Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism within Christianity is for all practical purposes over. The main stream leadership has chosen more friendly relationships with Romanism, and accepted the Charismatic's vanity movement as brothers. Evangelical Christianity identified by Iain Murray in his book "Evangelicalism Divided" has researched it's beginnings to Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768 - 1834). Main stream Christianity has changed over the last 40 or so years because of Evangelical pressure. The emphasis that used to be placed on doctrine has shifted to how one feels. Vanity has replaced sound doctrine!
"The supposition that true religion belongs essentially to the realm of experience - religion is a matter of a well-disposed heart and devout feelings" (Schleiermacher pg 7).
This is why Billy Graham was applauded rather then excommunicated when he promoted this view recently on a Robert Schuler broadcast, and later on Larry King.
MacARTHUR SAYS GRAHAM HAS 'UNORTHODOX VIEWS'—In a Feb. 15 letter to a Grace Partner, John MacArthur takes issue (and rightly so) with some remarks Billy Graham made in an interview with Robert Schuller a few years ago when he said that those who may not even know the name of Jesus will be in heaven, etc. MacArthur commented that based on what he told Schuller, Graham's theology includes some unorthodox views. He added: "He claims that the Body of Christ encompasses non-believers and that God
