Probe of Kenyan attacks points to
joint Hizbullah, al-Qaida operation
By DOUGLAS DAVIS
LONDON Investigations into the recent attacks on the Paradise Hotel and
the Arkia plane in Mombasa are pointing to the possibility of
joint operation by Hizbullah and
al-Qaida.
Such an alliance between
rival wings of the Islamic movement had previously been thought unlikely,
but the Sunday Telegraph reports that investigators in Mombasa have
uncovered "a number of clues" that suggest
al-Qaida is working with Hizbullah
to attack American and Israeli targets around the world.
According to the report, the al-Qaida terrorists responsible for the
suicide bombing at the hotel used the same techniques as those developed by
Hizbullah in the 1980s.
The investigators also discovered that the two missiles fired at the
Arkia airliner are of the same type used by Hizbullah to attack Israeli
targets. "They believe it was not just coincidence that the only claim for
responsibility for the Mombasa attacks was made on a Hizbullah radio
station," noted the paper.
It went on to quote a Western official closely involved in the
investigation as saying: "A clear
pattern is emerging that suggests Hizbullah is actively cooperating with
al-Qaida. Hizbullah is very active in this part of Africa and shares similar
objectives to al-Qaida."
Particular interest is now focused on the personal links between Osama
bin Laden and Imad Mugniyeh, the Hizbullah terrorist who masterminded some
of its most spectacular atrocities and kidnappings in Lebanon. He appears on
the FBI's 10 most-wanted list for orchestrating attacks against US targets
in Lebanon.
Western intelligence officials are now reviewing the level of cooperation
between Mugniyeh and bin Laden, which is believed to date
back to the mid-1990s when bin Laden and al-Qaida were located in training
camps in Sudan.
Mugniyeh, who is believed to have
moved from Lebanon to Iran when the Lebanese civil war ended, is
reported to have made numerous visits to Khartoum in 1995, '96, and '97, and
to have met bin Laden several times. ...
More recent evidence linking Hizbullah and al-Qaida was picked up by
Western intelligence after bin Laden
fled from Afghanistan at the end of last year, according to the Sunday
Telegraph. It noted that between 80 and 100 al-Qaida fighters who fled into
Iran were provided with false passports by Hizbullah before being relocated
in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. At least 10 senior al-Qaida commanders are also
believed to have been sent to Lebanon, where they liaise closely with
Hizbullah commanders in the Bekaa Valley.
Chechnya's history
is blood and suffering
By David McHugh
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — On his tough bricklayer's fingers, Chechen Akhmad
Arsamakov ticks off the members of his family who suffered under
Moscow's rule. Father deported by Stalin; grandfather joined a hopeless mountain
rebellion against the Soviets in the 1940s; great-great grandfather led
resistance to Czarist troops in the 1860s, was captured and then
disappeared.
"All of us suffered," said Mr. Arsamakov, 51. "But this is the
story of every Chechen. Not almost every Chechen — every Chechen."
Considering that within living memory the entire population of
Chechnya was expelled from its homeland, the lanky construction worker's
remark doesn't sound like an exaggeration.
When al-Qaida first became prominent
they were mostly concerned with taking control of Saudi Arabia. The deep seated
hate for Israel was always there, but now that they lost their base of operation
that hate for Jews has become their primary driving force. It is Jewish hate
that gives both al-Qaida, and Hizbullah the Islamic ear. It is anti-Semitism
that gives them the ear of much of the rest of the Gentile world.
The events of 911 have drawn the US into
this battle between Judaism and Islam. Next to the Jews these Islamic terrorists
hate Christians the most. In the midst of this tangled web of religious war are
found Christians who hate the Jews as much as Islam, and some strange alliances
take place. The siege of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem has recently
demonstrated how the Christians of the Holy Land sympathized with the Islamic
invaders rather then the Israeli liberators. Arafat loves to go to Bethlehem
every Christmas where the Christians in charge of the Holy Sites greet him with
great admiration. It makes for a very strange united Christmas in Bethlehem
every year.
This religious war reaches into Iran
through Hizbullah. Now it reaches into Africa through the joint alliance of
al-Qaida and Hizbullah. All this hate is focused on Israel. The goal is to kill,
and torture Jews wherever possible. It is no wonder to me that Iran is mentioned
in the Bible as the Eastern power in a three pronged Islamic invasion of Israel
(Ezekiel 38 & 39), and Africa is mentioned as the Southern prong of this same
"Last Jihad" invasion.
Chechnya has been in the news lately
with the hostage taking of Russian theater goers. The goal is clearly declared
by these Islamic terrorists as the formation of a North Caucuses Mountains
Islamic Republic. It is from here that the Northern prong of the "Last Jihad"
will originate. This Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal (Moscow and Tubalsk) will
lead the great coming invasion motivated by hate for the Jews. This Northern
prong will represent the Gog from the land of Magog who will unite all Islam in
a final solution to the current religious war.
The end result of all this will be the
destruction by God of Islam, and an open door for a return to the Bible movement
among the Jews calling for the building of the Third Jewish Temple in
anticipation for the coming Messiah/King's return to the Temple Mount!
The Invading Islamic Nations of Ezekiel 38 & 39 are in the news this very
day!

Ezekiel 38:1-8

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And 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:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and
helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and
all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company
that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After 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.

A million immigrants? Where
from exactly?
By
Yair Sheleg
Roni Vinikov took up his post as a Jewish
Agency emissary in New York three months ago. The Agency already has several
emissaries in the Big Apple, but Vinikov will play a unique role: He is
coordinating Agency activities among
Jews from the former Soviet Union who settled in New York following the
collapse of Communist rule.
About 300,000 people in that group opted
for the American dream over its Israeli parallel, and a
large percentage of them clustered in
the New York area. Following a two-year series of discussions, the Agency
decided to try to work among these Jews, in an effort to persuade as many as
possible to give Israel a "second
chance." Even before this, a-year-and-a-half ago, the Agency began a
similar initiative in Germany, and soon plans one in Australia.
Vinikov says that his target audience is principally the relatively young, those
who see "they will most probably not be able to realize in the United States the
dreams they hoped to fulfill when they arrived there, and are, on the other
hand, young enough to try a new place."
Several factors assist him in his task: First, the "Russian" community has not
really struck roots in American society, nor in the local Jewish community.
Although the latter has helped them a great deal,
"the fact that Jewish life in the U.S. is mainly based on religious movements
and synagogue membership is not well suited to the `Russians.'"
Second, the community maintains close links with Israel. "Eighty percent of them
have primary relatives in Israel. Over
60 percent have visited Israel, while the average in the
American-Jewish community is 7 or 8
percent. Moved by the situation in Israel, the "Russian" community in New
York recently contributed about NIS 1 million to IDF soldiers.
In the past two years there has been a stronger move by immigration authorities
to search for new "reservoirs" among the approximately
7.8 million Jews living outside Israel, in an effort to remain even
somewhat close to the immigration levels to which Israel grew accustomed in the
1990s.
In 2000, 61,025 persons immigrated to
Israel, but by last year that number had
dropped to 44,247, and this year only
about 35,000 are expected to immigrate - representing a 43 percent decline in
two years.
Of course, these two years have been marked by a
war of Palestinian terrorism and a
serious economic downturn, and the results are obvious. Yet Jewish Agency
chairman Sallai Meridor refuses to speak of a "crisis" in immigration:
"What happened is that during the 1990s,
we were spoiled by dramatic numbers of immigrants, and now it is hard for us to
get used to a decline. I can still remember years in which only 10,000 -12,000
people immigrated to Israel, so the current number of 35,000 immigrants coming
to Israel is an extraordinary accomplishment."
In any event, the numbers suggest the words of
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon seem
detached from reality. Ever since he assumed office two years ago, Sharon has
never stopped trumpeting before the relevant bodies his goal of absorbing
another million immigrants in the decade to come, which translates into 100,000
immigrants a year. Such an immigration rate was unheard of even in the
Gay Nineties - except for the first two years, 1990 and 1991. Deputy Absorption
Minister Yuli Edelstein, who answers to Sharon (Sharon holds the absorption
portfolio), believes that Sharon's goal is realistic, "only if we take the right
actions, in the right places." But even Meridor, who is directly responsible for
bringing the immigrants and whose organization is largely judged on the basis of
percentage points, offers a much more modest goal: half a million in the
upcoming decade, or 50,000 a year.
This objective is realistic, says Meridor. "We have already had these sort of
years in the past decade. I also believe that the security and economic
situation will not continue throughout the decade."

number jumped from 1,421 last year to nearly 6,500 this year.

"And ye would not"
may be the saddest words in the Bible. They will be forever repeated throughout
eternity by those cast into the eternity of hell. It is God's intent that all
would be saved, but sadly not all will come!
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.
KJV
The sad truth is that many refuse to
come. Many reject the Bible and it's only Savior/Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ.
God's plan is to bring in the next
dispensation of the Jewish Kingdom. God would have all mankind come to the
Savior, but sadly that is not going to happen. Soon, the Holy Spirit will leave
the true Church at the rapture (leaving behind Apostate Christianity), and will
dwell among the Jews of Israel as the Jewish Kingdom becomes a reality. Sadly,
not all Jews will come as all gentiles did not come to Christ during the Church
age. However, the omniscient God knows many Jews will respond to the call of the
Holy Spirit when dispensational change takes place. Many more Jews will come to
their Messiah during the seven years of Great Tribulation. The greatest move of
Jews to the Holy Land not seen since the Exodus will be testimony that God has
renewed the hearts of His chosen people.
I have no doubts many Jews from New
York, Chicago, and many other places around the world will make the modern day
Exodus complete. They will come with renewed hearts completely submitted to
their God. It will be the day when construction of the Third Temple will be
impossible to stop. It will be the day when the Book of Leviticus will again
have it's blood sacrificial Biblical prominence restored! The only sadness for
the Jews on that day will be for those who would not come!
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
yeshall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done!"
Israel Shall Be Saved
Isaiah 45:17-25
17 But Israel shall be
saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not
be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the
earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he
formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said
not unto the seed of
Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I
declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of
the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven
image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?
have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a
just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and
be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and
there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in
righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every
tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to
him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall
all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Mormons meet with Jewish group
in New York over baptizing holocaust victims
AP Dec. 11, 2002
Mormon and Jewish leaders met in New York City to discuss the
Mormon church's apparent breach of
its agreement not to posthumously baptize Holocaust victims and other
deceased Jews.
Mormon leaders requested the meeting with Ernest Michel, chairman of the
World Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors who helped broker the
1995 agreement with The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said church spokesman Dale
Bills.
Before the meeting on Tuesday, Michel said the discussion would be
preliminary. Numerous calls to his office were not returned Tuesday.
In a statement, the Mormon church said the meeting with Michel was
"positive and productive" but did not elaborate on the outcome.
Mormons believe proxy baptisms
give those in the afterlife the option of joining the religion. It's
primarily intended to offer salvation to the ancestors of Mormons, but many
others are included.
Baptisms for the dead are
performed inside Mormon temples, with a church member immersed in water in
place of the deceased person. Names of the deceased are gathered by church
members from genealogy records as well as death and governmental documents
from around the world.
"For Latter-day Saints, the practice of proxy baptism is a means of
expressing love and concern for those who have preceded us. It is a freewill
offering," Bills said.
At Tuesday's meeting, Michel met with Mormon leaders Monte Brough and D.
Todd Christofferson.
Independent researcher Helen Radkey, who prepared a report for Michel, is
certain the agreement has been
broken. In her research of the church's extensive genealogical
database, she found at least 20,000
Jews - some of whom died in Nazi concentration camps - were baptized after
they died.
"There shouldn't be one single death camp record in those files," Radkey
said.
Radkey has been researching Jews included in the
Mormon databases since 1999, when
she found Anne Frank and her extended family listed as being baptized.
Also among those baptized posthumously by the church, according to
Radkey's research:
Ghengis Khan, Joan of Arc, Adolf
Hitler, Josef Stalin and Buddha.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los
Angeles, said the Mormon church needs to rein in its members if it is
serious about its pledge to stop baptizing Holocaust victims.
"If these people did not contact the Mormons themselves, the adage should
be: Don't call me, I'll call you,"
Hier said. "With the greatest of respect to them,
we do not think they are the
exclusive arbitrators of who is saved."
It is not just the Jews who are offended
by these pompous Mormons who deny the Bible by making their religious records,
and the Book of Mormon the means of salvation rather then the God of the Bible.
They put their cultic religion above Almighty God Himself with this man invented
lie about proxy baptisms. They convince the gullible that they alone are the
authors of the Lamb's Book of Life. They include Hitler and Stalin along
with every filthy pervert, and every mass murderer they can get their dunking
members to jump into the waters to represent. It is a lucrative business for the
Mormon afterlife as the Mormon dunkers are foolishly convinced their proxies
will be eternally indebted to them. It is a lot like the Islamic suicide fools
who think they will go to a sex perverted paradise for killing Jews. It is bad
enough that a Jew gets murdered by a fanatic Islamic bomber who ends his life,
but now the Mormons fanatically use his name after death to break his ties to
Judaism putting him unwillingly into the rolls of the Church of the Latter Day
Saints. It seems like the Jews can't win for dieing?
All these false manmade religions will
end when the Jewish Kingdom is established. It will not just be Mormonism, but
all of Apostate Christianity! It will be all religions that either deny the
Bible, or pervert it's teachings. It is only the Bible that will
stand in the end with it's clearly taught single way of salvation. The
Jewish Kingdom will again make blood sacrifices in the Third Jewish Temple
reviving the great truths taught throughout the Old Testament, but specifically
in the Book of Leviticus. Only the blood can wash away sin. Only the blood can
make atonement for the lost sinner. It never was nor ever will be manmade
religions that control salvation. It is only the pure and undefiled Lamb of God
who can save. Only He shed His blood as the only acceptable sacrifice that was
ever given in which the God of the Bible says is sufficient. It is only to Him
that the repentant sinner can go to find security. All other ways are lies!
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Atonement for Sin
2 Chronicles 29:21-36
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven
he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for
Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on
the altar of the LORD.
22 So they killed the bullocks, and the
priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar:
likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the
altar: they killed
also the lambs, and they
sprinkled the blood
upon the altar.
23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and
the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
24 And the priests killed them, and they made
reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an
atonement for all Israel:
for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be
made for all Israel.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with
psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad
the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the
LORD by his prophets.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the
trumpets.
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And
when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the
trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the
trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was
finished.
29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present
with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing
praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they
sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the
LORD, come near and
bring sacrifices and thank offerings
into the house of the LORD.
And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as
were of a free heart
burnt offerings.
32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was
threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these
were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt
offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work
was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for
the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the
priests.
35 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace
offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering.
So the service of the
house of the LORD was set in order.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the
people: for the thing was done suddenly.

I'm sure it will not be long before
Yasser Arafat starts making claims of how he has reigned in terrorism for world
consumption. A gullible world with anti-Semitic inner feelings will quickly
repeat the claims once made. The Jews know the truth because they live with it
daily. I often wonder how it must hurt to be the object of so much undeserved
scorn. Today, the UN is contemplating taking Hezbollah off the terrorist list.
It would be unbelievable if it were any other ethnic group other then the Jews
being targeted by Hezbollah. I'm always wondering what it must feel like to be
so unjustly scorned by the world as the Jews are today. I'm reminded how the
world scorned the Lord Jesus Christ at His first coming. The coming Jewish
Kingdom of the next dispensation will see scorn as great as was manifested
against Christ by the Roman soldiers who spit in His face, and pulled out His
beard by the roots. This next coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will be different
from the first! He is not coming as the suffering Savior, but as the King of
kings!
I'm always reminded at Christmas time
that Christ the babe of Bethlehem is yet to be exhaled as King. The victory is
coming at His second return to Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount! The
scorn of the world will be as great in this present generation as it was at His
first coming, but this time it will be the scorners who will die! It will be a
foolish death for them because they will have rejected the coming King ,and His
Jewish Kingdom. They will be cast into hell where all eternity will not be long
enough to recompense their foolish decision to reject the King.
God is Just! As long as God offers eternal life to those who receive
Christ, He must eternally condemn those who have rejected Him.
My Christmas prayer for you is the
wisdom to understand dispensational change is upon us! The King is coming, and
His Jewish Kingdom is in the process of formation. The Old Testament has come to
life again in our generation. The Jews are back in their promised land for only
one reason! The next dispensation of the Jewish Kingdom is about to be realized.
The King is coming!

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is
not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
 11
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is
of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast.

doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the
flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of
fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant
were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.

WASHINGTON In an address before the Heritage Foundation Thursday, US
Secretary of State Colin Powell introduced the
"United States Middle East
Partnership Initiative," which is aimed at promoting the democratization of
civil societies and economic growth in the Arab Middle East.
Before launching the new initiative, he reaffirmed President George W. Bush's
commitment to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling for the
Palestinians to choose "a new and different leadership, new institutions, and an
end to terror and violence."
Powell, who reiterated Bush's hope for the
establishment of an independent
state of Palestine by 2005, also said, "As the Palestinians make progress in
this direction, Israel will also be required to make hard choices, including an
end to all settlement construction activity, consistent with the Mitchell
Report."
The new initiative received an initial budget of $29 million. According to
Powell, the US currently provides more than
$1 billion in economic assistance to
Arab governments.
The initiative will work on private sector development to improve economic
growth, the development of organs of civil society to
"close the freedom gap,"
with an emphasis on improving the status of women in the Muslim world, and
educational reform to "bridge the knowledge gap with better schools and more
opportunities for higher education" throughout the Arab world.
Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Yemen, Powell said, will receive
"technical assistance to meet the World Trade Organization's membership
criteria." "Enterprise funds" will be created, intended to "help small- and
medium-sized businesses gain access to the life-blood of capital." Negotiations
will also soon commence on establishing a free trade agreement with Morocco.
Powell noted that the government "would explore ways to enhance our bilateral
economic trade relationships" with Egypt and Bahrain, possibly also resulting in
free trade agreements. The US now has a free trade agreement with Jordan.
He emphasized the importance of improving political freedoms in the region,
especially for Arab women. Too few women are represented in legislative bodies
of Arab governments, he said.
He concluded that the US government will help reform education systems
throughout the region by providing "scholarships to keep girls in school and
expand literacy for girls and women."
Powell admitted that promoting democracy in the Middle East "is one of the
most challenging undertakings" ever considered in the region, but added, "we
should also avoid resigning ourselves to low expectations."
Before detailing this new plan, he cited the 2002 Arab Human Development
Report, issued by the UN and written by leading Arab scholars, which documents
the bleak economic conditions within the Arab world.
Powell noted that "many economies are stifled by regulation and cronyism.
They lack transparency, and are closed to entrepreneurship, investment, and
trade."
In Jerusalem, Ra'anan Gissin, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's press secretary,
reacted enthusiastically to Powell's address. Referring to it as a landmark
event, he praised Powell for linking US assistance to Arab countries with
democratic reforms.
Here it comes in all it's worldly glory.
That great city Babylon, that mighty city! Just as the
Book of Revelation predicts - a revived Babylon is about to flourish as the
Middle East Arabs discover democracy and worldly freedom. The fall of Saddam
Hussein (Iraq is Old Babylon) seems close at hand. I can see
the
United States Middle East Partnership Initiative as the
centerpiece of the final false manmade peace plan (the Bush road map) that will end the "War on
Terrorism." This is the false peace excluding God's plan for the coming Jewish
Kingdom. This is the peace that will lead the world into Armageddon! This is the
phony peace that will set up the worldly Babylon of the Great Tribulation to compete against spiritual
Jerusalem. The billions invested in Babylon over the next few years will explode into
trillions upon trillions as the whole world will benefit from investing in the
Arab oil of these new democracies. The antichrist will find the wealth of
Babylon his tool to control the economy of the whole world!
It will happen fast. I'm convinced the time is short. The king of Babylon
will offer the world temporary wealth in opposition to the coming King of
Jerusalem who will offer the humble of the world eternal salvation. The
explosion of Babylonian prosperity will lead the world into a new freedom to sin
as the rich look for new ways to enjoy their lustful desires. The meek and lowly
will look to their coming Messiah/King to return to Israel, Jerusalem, and the
Temple Mount.
The
next event of glory will be the rapture of the true Church ending a dispensation
that lasted 2000 years. I believe The Last Jihad of Ezekiel 38 & 39 will
come after the rapture ending Islamic influence over the Temple Mount, and
opening the door to the building of the Third Jewish Temple by the Two Jewish
Witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven, and the 144,000 Jews of Revelation who
will re-establish the literal twelve tribes of Israel! The foundation will be
laid for changed hearts among the Jews of Israel, and a return to Biblical
Judaism as always intended in the Old Testament! Blood sacrifice (Leviticus)
will again take place in the Third Jewish Temple looking back in remembrance of
Calvary, and looking forward to the soon return of the Jewish Messiah. The
antichrist will emerge as leader of the Western world, and will use the fall of
Islam to establish his claim on Babylon and the world! What a new year seems
about to explode on planet earth!

Great City
Revelation 18:8-24
8 Therefore 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.
9 And 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,
10 Standing 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.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man
buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The 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,
13 And 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.
14 And 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.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And 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!
17 For 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,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,
What city is like unto
this great city!
19 And 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.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and
prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And 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.
22 And 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;
23 And 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.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that
were slain upon the earth.

Qatar expresses support for US democracy initiative
The Jerusalem Post Internet
Staff - Dec. 13, 2002
Qatar is expressing support for the new US initiative to bolster democracy in
the Middle East.
Speaking yesterday, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Washington is on
the side of reform and change in the Middle East. The aim, according to Israel
Radio, is said to be to provide funding and allow the US to work together with
governments and people in the Arab world to expand economic educational and
political opportunity.
A Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman, said,
"Qatar receives favorably the
American initiative for a partnership between the United States and the Middle
East," the radio reported.
 It begins to build!
The road to Babylon!
Democracy in the Arab world! Bill Gates made billions in a few short
years, but this coming Babylon after the fall of Saddam will create trillions
upon trillions in much shorter time. The conditions seem ripe for such a
monumental change in the Middle East. The attack of 911 that changed the world
seems aimed at this objective. Terrorism must have a solution from a political
viewpoint, and the world seems ready to grab hold of this plan for closure. A
man inspired plan that does not take into consideration what the Bible says is
God's plan for the Middle East, and the coming Jewish Kingdom. A road map to a
false peace that does not take into consideration God's plan for Israel,
Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount!
Of Course, this is all speculation on my
part, but it is speculation with a fundamental dispensational bias. The Bible
says there will be an Israel at rest before the Islamic Last Jihad of Ezekiel 38
& 39 takes place. It is hard to imagine an Israel at rest under the present
terrorist conditions? Democracy suddenly embraced by her Arab neighbors would
change the situation overnight. What will not change
is the hearts of the sons of Ishmael toward the Jews. Whatever peace may come
with democracy; It will be false. The hatred that has been ingrained into the
Arab heart will not disappear with an influx of wealth. If anything, the desire
for wealth is never appeased. There is never enough! Ezekiel long ago said an
evil thought will come into the mind of the invaders of Israel. They will come
for a spoil! They will come with the thought of a final solution to the Jewish
scourge to which all their hate has been eternally aimed.
The Last Jihad Begins The
Great Tribulation
Ezekiel 38:8-23
8 After 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.
9 Thou 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.
10 Thus 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:
11 And 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,
12 To 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.
13 Sheba, 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?
14 Therefore, 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?
15 And 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:
16 And 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.
17 Thus 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?
18 And 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.
19 For 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;
20 So 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.
21 And 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.
22 And 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.
23 Thus 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.

Arab/Islam Democracy Without Changed Hearts
Ramadan reveals Islamic hate for Jews unabated
Sadly, Jew hatred is a growth industry once more, and the Arab/Islamic
heartland was buying it up this Ramadan like a run on the year's hottest
Christmas toy.
First there was Egyptian state television's heavily marketed screening of the
40-part series "Horseman without a horse," which
depicted Zionism as a Jewish
plot to rule the world. Every night of Ramadan, just after the evening meal,
viewers in Egypt and 21 other Arab states settled in for a guided tour through
the history of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" - a proven forgery
presented as if proven fact. The hit drama portrayed Jews as devious, murderous,
subhuman creatures - an elaborate production designed to stir anti-Semitic
feelings across the Middle East.
There was no shortage of such Ramadan fare throughout the region.
Syrian state
TV aired a series enlightening viewers that there is no archaeological evidence
to support the stories of the Old Testament, which were fabricated to give the
Jews a claim to the Land of Israel. The ruling party's Al-Ba'ath daily paper
also defended the Egyptian "Horseman" series as an accurate
account of the Jews "flagellation of human society, sucking its blood, harming
its sanctity, and attacking human rights, morality, and general values so as to
take ownership of all the nations of the world."
Not to be outdone, Palestinian media outlets gave special billing to anti-Jewish
themes during Ramadan. One series of TV documentaries drilled home the singular
message that any talk of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem is a complete "myth"
concocted to steal the holy city from its rightful Muslim owners. A televised
sermon referred to Jews as "cursed... the brothers of monkeys and pigs, with a
stream of curses that will continue until the Resurrection..." Moreover,
attacking and afflicting Jews was presented as part of the destiny Muslims and
Arabs have to fulfil, as a religious obligation from Allah.
All during the month-long observances, Arab media featured programs and
interviews blaming the Jews for plotting the 9/11 terror attacks, hailing
Palestinian suicide bombings as "noble, precious, and honourable missions," and
offering prayers for all Muslims and Arabs "to rise as one man and fight... the
tyrannical Jews."
Noted Arab affairs expert Ehud Ya'ari alarmingly noted in a Jerusalem Report
commentary that the "essence" of the well-timed anti-Semitic crescendo was to
show "there is no possibility of making peace with the Jews - not because of any
political argument or clash over territory, but because that nation is a priori
unfit to be counted among the human race... it is gradually
building a case for justifying genocide!"
Meantime, Hizb'Allah TV station Al-Manar broadcast a call by the Shi'ite terror
militia's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah urging Palestinians "to take suicide
bombings worldwide. Don't be shy about it."
Nasrallah's appeal came just as the al-Qaida terror network targeted hundreds of
Israeli tourists in simultaneous strikes near Mombasa, Kenya. An al-Qaida-linked
Internet site claimed the attacks were meant to punish Jews for their "sins
against the Palestinians." It announced the formation of
a special new branch in
Palestine to "defeat the Zionist Jewish invaders and
return them to the place... whence they came." The site also promised theworld a
nother "gift for the holiday" to mark the end of Ramadan.
Analysts are concluding that al-Qaida has changed its mode of operations since
being dislodged from Afghanistan and now is going after "softer" targets that
are more vulnerable and easy to hit - synagogues, discos and hotel resorts.
The
added focus on Jews is calculated to quickly rebuild the terror group's support
base by tapping into the rampant pan-Islamic anti-Semitism, while also making
continued support of Israel a painful liability for the United States and other
Western powers.
After all, hasn't history marked the Jews as the softest target of all?
It is Islamic/Arab hate that infects the
hearts of the sons of Ishmael. Opposition to the death of a Jewish Temple is
taught from birth to death. Freedom and democracy will only bring new methods
of afflicting the Jews. There has never been as long a nurtured hate for any one
people then is manifested by the children of Islam against the Jews. It is not
going to be turned off with the signing of any peace treaty. It will not end
with the expulsion of Arafat. It will continue beyond the acceptance of a
Palestinian State should that day come. The hate must end before real peace can
ever come to the Holy Land. Changed hearts is the only answer for the peace
Christmas stirs in the hearts of humble men.
It is man that must change. It was the
plan of God from the beginning to provide the means by which this miracle can be
accomplished. The Christmas story ever reminds man that God kept His word.
 His
plan to change the hearts of men willing to come to Him found fulfillment in the
birth of Christ. The Kingdom promised Christ for His victory at Calvary is now
in sight. It will bring a peace that men could hardly conceive. The little child
with the fearsome beasts of the field all playing in innocent bliss. A time when
sin, and the curse are not allowed. A time when animalistic hate will submit to the
righteous rod of iron wielded by the Prince of peace.
It will come through Great Tribulation.
The cost of real peace is high. It cost God His only Son, and it will cost man
the surrender of the democratic freedom to sin. The continual sacrifices at the
Third Jewish Temple will always remind men of the cost God paid to cleanse the
heart from sin. The Christmas story will be remembered each time blood is shed
on the altar of the Third Jewish Temple!

Isaiah 11
11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he
shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing
of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for
the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the
girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and
a little
child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the
weaned child
shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall
be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an
ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be
glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand
again
the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the
outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four
corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be
cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west;
they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon
Edom
and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with
his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in
the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be
left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of
the land of Egypt.

The Greatest Stone Jesus

A Modern-Day Fast
Leading rabbis of the religious-Zionist camp
called for a large public prayer rally this afternoon, on the Fast of Tevet, at
the Western Wall. Special prayers were recited in light of the difficult
situation facing the Israeli people. Following the prayers and the end of the
fast, the customary "Circle the Temple Mount Gates"
will be held. Around the
same time, prayer-and-Psalms rallies will also be held in London and Manchester.
Today, one of six days of fasting in the Jewish calendar, marks the siege of
Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia. He later completely conquered the
city and destroyed the Holy Temple.
Beit El Chief Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed sees special contemporary relevance to
today's fast. "Days of fasting of this nature are not only a testimonial to the
troubles of the past," he wrote in the latest edition of his town's weekly
journal, "but are chiefly days of repentance and reckoning for improving our
deeds in the present… Maimonides explains that the troubles over which we fast
and cry include when foreigners make war on Israel, or when they decree that we
may not fulfill Jewish precepts, or when they come... to take land from us."
 Rabbi Melamed therefore notes that the troubles of recent years, "with non-Jews
pressuring us to give over parts of the Land of Israel, are clearly among those
things over which we must fast and cry out." He explains that today's Fast of
Tevet must be directed towards precisely this tribulation of "international
pressure and terrorist violence aiming to take away our land... Therefore, let
this day be one of fasting, prayer, and crying out to the G-d of Israel, that He
give us the strength to preserve our land, to stand up to the pressures, and to
not give in under any circumstances to those who wish to destroy us."
The Fast of Tevet has also been declared by the Chief Rabbinate as a general day
of Kaddish [a memorial prayer] for Holocaust victims whose date of death is not
known. Rabbi Dov Begun, of the Meir Institute for Jewish Studies (Machon Meir),
notes a direct connection between the destruction of Jerusalem and the
Holocaust:
"The destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem led us into a 2,000-year exile, the
pinnacle of which was the terrible Holocaust. By announcing
'May G-d's great
Name be magnified and sanctified,' we are saying that despite all the tortures
of the exile, His great name will be magnified via
our return to Zion and the
rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple... Today, we must mend our ways
especially with regards to the Land of Israel and Jerusalem, when our enemies
wish to restore the siege around Jerusalem by establishing a state... There are
even voices at home whose faith and spirit have been weakened and who seek to
fulfill the wishes of our enemies..."
Yesterday I highlighted the Palestinian
propaganda where the Islamic, Arab, Palestinians are taught that a Jewish Temple
is a myth with no archaeological support. A political ploy to take away Islamic
land so they say. Today, I highlight Rabbi Melarmed who prays in G-d's Great
Name that this return of the Jews to the Holy Land will soon bring the
rebuilding of the Holy Temple! The fast day of last Sunday was dedicated to the
siege of Jerusalem, and subsequent destruction of the First Holy Temple by the
Babylonians. A historical fact! Led by the great Gentile Babylonian King
Nebuchadnezzar a historical figure!
The Old Testament of the Bible has the
best record of the events which modern archaeology confirms. Every brick
used to build the great city of Babylon in that day still have the name of
Nebuchadnezzar inscribed on each one! Daniel the great Bible prophet lived in
that very city declaring the era of Gentile rule had come to the world. He
described all the great Gentile powers that would rule the earth until the day
when the Jewish Messiah would come to establish His Kingdom.
It should be no surprise that Babylon is
back in the news vying for the headlines with Israel. Saddam Hussein in his
pompous visions of glory has been restoring the ancient city of Babylon. He has
followed the great King Nebuchadnezzar, whom he personally hopes to be the
reincarnated form of the greatest Gentile King of all time, and puts his name on
all the new bricks being used in the reconstruction of that Great City of
Babylon! The Biblical record, and the news coming out of the Middle East are
making the Old Testament come alive in our generation.
The Bible says a Gentile King is yet to come leading the Western World (the
ten toed remnant of the Roman Empire), and will use the wealth of "That Great
City Babylon" to rule the economy of the world. A Jewish Third Holy Temple will
stand against him in Israel at Jerusalem.
Most of the world prefers to keep it's
eyes closed to these facts just like the Palestinians prefer to remain blind to
the reality of a Holy Jewish Temple! Soon, the news events of the Middle East
will overtake this willingly blind world as God establishes the next
dispensation. The Jewish Kingdom age!

Daniel 2:29-35
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed,
what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh
known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have
more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the
interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy
heart.
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his
belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that
a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his
feet that were of iron and clay, and
brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken
to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the
summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found
for them: and the stone
that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Labor platform would give
up control of the Temple Mount
By Yossi Verter
The
Labor Party will reportedly propose in its election platform that
Israel give up control of the Temple
Mount. This emerges from a draft of the
party platform to be presented to the Labor bureau for approval on
Thursday.
The proposal talks of a "special regime" in the Old City of Jerusalem and in the
"holy basin" that will reflect the
unique nature of the place for the three monotheisitic religions,
according to Yigal Tsehor who headed the platform committee.
This differs, however, from the text adopted by the party convention in July
that spoke of an "international
supervisory council." Sources in Labor said the new phrasing was intended
to soften the effect of the concession which, at the time,
caused a furor in the party.
 The original text was brought to the convention
by then-party leader Benjamin Ben-Eliezer
who believed Labor should abide by the
Clinton blueprint for peace discussed at Camp David in the summer of 2000
and incorporate some of the Saudi peace plan into its platform. While heading
Labor in the 2001 elections, Ehud Barak
also spoke of commitment to the Clinton plan.
Yesterday, Rabbi Melarmed was praying
that G-d's great name would be magnified through the building of the Third
Jewish Holy Temple. Today, the liberal Labor Party voice of Judaism following
the lead of our former sex pervert, Southern Baptist, President Bill Clinton
gives their opinion of how to deal with the Temple Mount! This liberal voice of
Judaism will persist to the very last days of the Great Tribulation. A
secularized Judaism is following the lead of Northern Israel of the divided
Kingdom age rather then a rocky, but spiritual Judah of the South. History
repeats itself with purpose as the Old Testament comes to life in today's news!
The Bible reveals the future Jewish
leader of secular Israel as the foolish shepherd, the idol shepherd, whom God
says His soul loathes! These liberal Jews show their abhorrence for the God of
the Bible with their attitude toward His Holy Temple. To them the value of
the Temple Mount is only worth the political gain they can get from it. They
foolishly think that by catering to the present blindness of the secular Jews
they can proclaim themselves as the Party of Peace! They would give away the
Temple Mount for a spoonful of pottage. They care nothing for the heritage, or
the promises God has given them.
Seven years of Great Tribulation are
aimed at changing the hearts of these secular liberated Jews. God is about to
force the issue of Biblical correctness on the entire nation, and the world.
Many will fight God being unwilling to give-up the freedom to sin in opposition
to God. To do it my way! To seek my own style of peace! Many others through
Great Tribulation will submit by their own free will to the God of their
fathers. God has determined those who will come outweigh those who won't, and
never will under any circumstances. The coming Jewish Kingdom is beginning to
press the Jews of Israel.
"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done!"
The Foolish Shepherd
The Idol Shepherd of Secular
Israel
Zechariah 11:8-17
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them,
and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that
is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of
another.
10 And I took my staff, even
Beauty, and cut it assunder, that I might
break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon
me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price;
and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price
that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and
cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even
Bands,
that I might break the
brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit
those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that
that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of
the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17 Woe to the idol
shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm,
and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up,
and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

DANES PROTEST NEWSPAPER'S ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS
About 700 people in Denmark have
signed a full-page ad criticizing the
country's leading newspaper, Politiken, for portraying Israel as a rogue state
responsible for ethnic cleansing, apartheid, nationalistic expansion policies
and state terrorism.
The ad, sponsored by a group of Jews and non-Jews, was published on Saturday
with the heading,
"Enough is enough."
"Politiken has contributed to the sharpening of attitudes toward Israel and Jews
in general," the ad said.
"By comparing the Israeli occupation
with the Holocaust and with the crimes of the Nazis, the newspaper has
consistently demonized Israel, and in a one-sided fashion portrayed the
Palestinians as a unique symbol of suffering," the ad said. "Articles in
the paper have claimed that threats against the Danish Jewish population are
understandable, as not all Jews
have distanced themselves from Israel's policies."
"Continued and unabated Israel bashing for so long has led to a situation that
when people write anti-Semitism, others don't recognize it for what it is," said
Alan Jordan, part of the committee. "We are not a Jewish group, but equal
numbers of Jews and non-Jews. We are
just sick and tired of this."
The newspaper replied to the charges with an editorial on Sunday and four op-eds.
The editorial said the group is
dishonest for labeling the paper as anti-Semitic.
The battle for the coming Jewish Kingdom
is not just with secular Jews. It is world wide! The hate for Jews is often
associated with opposition to the Biblical "road map" of what God intends for
the Holy Land. Anti-Semitic attitudes are of deeper complexity then just
hating Jews. It is hate against the Jewish book in which God has revealed
Himself. The greatest Jew of all time was born in Israel, at Bethlehem, and was
taken to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at seven days for His circumcision! The
world hates the prospect of a coming puritanical Kingdom. The world wants the
right to be non-attendee's of such a righteous Kingdom. God says there will be
no choice when that day comes. As God presses His will on this resistant world,
the apathy changes to hate. The hate exhibited by the terrorist suicide bombers
of Israel is a foretaste of the hate that will be generated when God ends this
present Church dispensation, and establishes the coming Jewish Kingdom!
The Danes were great supporters of the
Jews when they saw what the Nazi's were planning during World War Two. The
Palestinians have the same plan, but this generation of Danes seem to have a
different attitude. Only a few stand up against the hate beginning to be
expressed. It will be true of all countries once the antichrist appears. The
world will want his freedom rather then kosher/puritanical demanded living in a
Jewish Kingdom. They will follow the antichrist's "road map" to peace. They will
identify the Kingdom of Christ as demonic. It will be called a rogue state
responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Islam after Ezekiel 38 & 39. It will be
called a state of terrorism when the Two Witnesses call down fire from heaven on
their enemies.
 Anti-Semitism has only just begun. Soon,
Christ will be identified as the coming Jewish King who can't be swayed. The
King who will demand righteousness be practiced not just in the Holy Land, but
throughout all the earth. Freedom to sin will become a discouraging word in this
coming Kingdom! Most of mankind will reject this immovable Christ who will rule
with a righteous rod of iron. Their hate against Him will grow, and grow as the
reality of puritanical righteousness sinks into the sinful hearts of fallen
mankind! Only those willing to submit to changed hearts will enter this Kingdom
when it comes. The rest will be judged by a Holy God!
The day is coming when God will say enough is enough!
Kiss The Son Lest He Be
Angry
Psalms 2:7-12
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my
Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the
earth.
11 Serve the LORD with
fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their
trust in him.

Pope to Approve Miracle Attributed to Mother
Teresa
Dec. 19
— CALCUTTA, India (Reuters) - Pope John Paul will approve a miracle
attributed to Mother Teresa Friday, so paving the way for
the beatification
of the Nobel Prize-winning nun, the Missionaries of Charity said.
Beatification, in which a person is declared "blessed," is a key step
toward sainthood, which itself is attained following the Roman Catholic
Church's approval of two miracles.
"On Friday, December 20, the decrees to be approved include those
concerning Mother Teresa's heroic virtues and the miracle attributed to her
intercession," the Missionaries of Charity, the order the nun founded in
1950, said in a statement on Thursday.
"Tomorrow's ceremony will clear the way for her beatification," an
official of the order, who did not wish to be named, told Reuters. "A formal
beatification ceremony will take place only after that."
Twice a year, in July and before Christmas, the Pope approves decrees on
heroic virtues and miracles attributable to those on the road to sainthood.
Church officials say heroic virtues include simplicity, humility and
selfless service to the needy.
In October, the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved a
miracle attributed to the Catholic nun, who died in 1997 aged 87, and later
presented its report to the Pope.
The miracle involved a 30-year-old Indian woman, Monica Besra, who was
suffering from a stomach tumor and was inexplicably healed after praying to
Mother Teresa, also known as the "saint of the gutters."
Mother Teresa's successor, Sister Nirmala, is in Rome and domestic media
said she would attend the function at which the Pope formally approves the
decrees.
The Pope put Mother Teresa on the fast track to sainthood in 1999, two
years after she died, in response to requests by devotees that the Vatican
speed the process of canonizing her.
Normally church rules require five years to pass following a person's
death before the process of sainthood begins.

"Saint of the Gutters"
The Roman Catholic Church has a saint
for every occasion. Some day they may even have a saint to the unknown occasion
so all the bases are covered.
The Pope waves Church tradition, and
speeds up the sainthood of Mother Teresa. It is too bad he won't wave Church
tradition to root out the homosexual pedophile blight in the priesthood? A new
Bishop in Boston does nothing in reforming a system that has been exposed for
all it's ghastly sins perpetrated on the most innocent.
The Roman Catholic Church has long used
tradition to bypass Bible doctrine. They have long used phony mystical powers to
spin a yarn to the gullible. The phony mystical powers of the Priesthood stand
foremost. The mystical power to forgive, and dictate penance for sin. The
mystical power to render last rights to the dieing. The mystical power to
sprinkle holy water at a funeral declaring the power to give entrance to heaven.
The mystical power to administer the literal body and blood of Christ at the
mass. It is all a great lie based on Church tradition not the Bible. The Bible
gives all that power to Christ, and Christ alone.
Only Christ is King. How sad that the
Roman Catholics usurp His position with a worldly Pope. It is time for those who
make claims of following Christ to come out of this phony system now exposed.
The priest who just ministered last rights may have forced unwanted sex on some
little boy just hours earlier. The Roman Catholic system that protects such
perverts exposes a Roman Catholic god who depends on false miracles to remain
the power. The power Mother Teresa will soon have through Church tradition will
only add to this method of keeping the gullible gullible.
Today's Charismatics have gleaned the
phony message about miracle power from the Roman Catholic Church, and have now
taken the miraculous into new depths of phony mysticism. They have turned the
real miracles of the Bible into a Hollywood circus magic show to awe the
gullible. It works very well, and opens the door to the greatest mystic of all
times - the antichrist!
Who will be King for you this Christmas?
Can you accept a Jewish King who literally fulfills the requirements of
Leviticus. The Third Jewish Temple will exemplify Christ daily by the joining of
Blood sacrifice to a remembrance of Calvary. This will continue as long as kosher worship
is conducted in it's courts. The antichrist will stop the oblation, but only for
the last half of the Great Tribulation. He will claim he is the king of the
world! He will be the last phony king of worldly religion and corrupt
government. Many will follow him. All must step aside when the only true King
comes again! Islam,
Apostate Christianity, all religions, all governments must step aside when the
Biblical King returns! Are you ready to forsake your religious traditions, and submit to the
Christ of the Bible!

Revelation 16:13-21
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of
the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather
them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,
It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the
weight of a talent: and
men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the
plague thereof was exceeding great.

Sharon Seeks to Persuade Ministers to Support
Arafat's Man as Church Head
Sharon Trying to Persuade Ministers to Support
Arafat's Man for Church Appointment
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon plans to ask the cabinet this Sunday to approve a
man closely associated with PLO terrorist chief Yasser Arafat as
head of the Greek Orthodox church
in Israel: Irineos I. Until then, Sharon will be conducting meetings with
several ministers who are strongly against the appointment.
Arutz-7 has received copies of letters written by Irineos to Yasser Arafat in
which he uses sharp anti-Semitic
terminology and openly expresses his support for the PLO’s terrorism against
Israel. On July 17, 2001, he wrote, “You [Arafat] are aware of the
sentiments of disgust and disrespect that
all the Holy Sepulchre fathers are
feeling for the descendants of the crucifiers of our Lord... actual crucifiers
of your people, Sionists [sic] Jewish conquerors of the Holy Land of
Palestine.”
 The
letter was written in reaction to Justice Minister Meir Sheetrit's rejection of
Irineos' candidacy for the Patriarchal position. In the letter, Irineos asks
Arafat for his support, promising that
if he is elected, "rest assured, Mr. President, that the rights of our most
beloved Palestinian people on the Holy City of Jerusalem will find the most
'hot' supporter."
Arutz-7's Shimon Cohen reports that until recently, Prime Minister Sharon
vehemently opposed the appointment of the new Greek Orthodox Patriarch, because
of his strong connection to Arafat and his support for using terrorism as a
weapon against Israel. Cohen also reports that Greece itself objects to Irineos
as head of the Greek Orthodox Church in Israel.
Sharon's aide Dov Weisglass, however, said that the
U.S. is pressuring the government to
appoint Irineos. He said as much to several ministers this morning whose
support for the appointment he was trying to obtain. Foreign Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu responded that he would be willing to go to the U.S. and present the
evidence of Irineos' strong bonds with the PA in general and with Arafat in
particular. Minister Sheetrit, however, who is a leading candidate to serve in
the next government because of his support for Sharon's Palestinian state idea,
has already changed his mind regarding Irineos and now supports the appointment.
A second letter from Irineos to Arafat, dated April 5, 2002, emphasizes
Arafat’s “heroic resistance” to Israel’s
“illegal and inhuman aggression” against Arafat’s headquarters in Ramallah and
Christian “holy sites” in Bethlehem. Irineos signed the letter in large
type as “PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM AND
WHOLE PALESTINE.”
It is this kind of Christianity that
will be left behind to help the antichrist work his final solution against the
children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A Christian/Islamic unified monotheistic
religious conglomerate associated with the coming world capital city of Babylon
will oppose the only other monotheistic religion of the Great Tribulation. The
antichrist will use both as they use each other to oppose God's road map for
Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount.
As the Patriarch uses the Palestinians
and vice versa, so also the religions of the world will unite to use each other
for political power, and the antichrist will use them all to become the final
power. The stage seems set for the final act. the final solution where the users
get used as the antichrist turns on them all.
The Whore, The False Religions of the Great
Tribulation
Revelation 17
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the
judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full
of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation
of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not
yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the
seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is
Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
they that are with him are called, and
chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And , and burn the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall
hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
fleshher with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and
give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God
shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the
kings of the earth.

Officials: Explosions Kill 46 in Chechnya
Russian Officials: At Least 46 Killed in Explosions at
Chechnya's Pro-Moscow Gov't Headquarters
The Associated Press
MOSCOW Dec. 27 —
Suicide bombers drove two
trucks packed with explosives through cordons protecting the headquarters of
Chechnya's pro-Moscow government Friday and then detonated them,
killing at least 46 people and
wounding 70 more, the Russian government said.
The blasts, which leveled one
wing of the building, dealt a severe blow to the efforts by President
Vladimir Putin's government to portray the republic as returning to normal
after more than three years of war
between separatist rebels and a massive Russian military contingent.
Chechen Interior Minister Ruslan Tsakayev told the Interfax news agency
the bombs were contained in a delivery truck and a sport utility-style
vehicle used by the Russian military.
Viktor Shkareda, deputy head of the Emergency Situations Ministry in
southern Russia, said 46 people were confirmed dead in the blast and 70
wounded. Rescuers were finding
fragments of other bodies as they scrabbled through the heaps of broken
concrete and shattered glass, officials said.
The explosions hit around 2:30 p.m. just after lunch break ended, and the
building was full of employees and visitors. NTV said as many as 200 people
normally worked in the building.
The larger, Kamaz truck exploded next to the building, while the smaller
UAZ vehicle blew up in an adjacent parking lot used by government cars,
ITAR-Tass said.
The explosions had the force of
one ton of TNT and left a 20-foot-wide crater, Chechen prosecutor
Valery Kravchenko said.
NTV television showed stunned and bleeding people stumbling out of the
rubble of the administration building, one of the few in the war-shattered
Chechen capital to have been renovated completely. Other people were dragged
out by their hands and feet, while bloodied soldiers tried to establish
order.
The administration headquarters, where the civilian government is based,
was damaged severely. NTV showed windows blown out and a sea of building
wreckage and burned-out cars in the adjacent square.
The attack came as the government
has tried to reinforce its claim that Chechnya is calming by
pressuring refugees to go home and
shepherding foreign journalists to Grozny
on carefully controlled tours to examine reconstruction projects.
Although Russian troops have had nominal control of Grozny since early
2000, the city remains largely in ruins from intense Russian air and
artillery attacks. Rebels heavily
infiltrate the city and bloody Russian forces there with daily hit-and-run
attacks remote-controlled explosives. ...
It was the biggest suspected
Chechen rebel attack since militants seized a Moscow theater in October,
taking about 800 people hostage. All 41 attackers were killed, as were 129
hostages, all but two of whom succumbed to a knockout gas used by Russian
authorities to incapacitate the assailants.
The last large attack in Grozny occurred in October, when rebels blew up
a Grozny police precinct house,
killing at least 25 people. Militants also exploded a passenger bus
in September, killing 19 people,
mostly civilians.
Rebels also have shot down
several military helicopters this year. In one incident, at least 119 people
were killed.

The "chief prince" (or the
"prince of
Rosh" - chief literally translates to Rosh in Hebrew - Rosh
translates to Russia in modern Hebrew ) is stirring north of the Caucasus. The plan is to form an all Islamic
Republic north of the Caucasus Mountains. The pressure on the Russian Gog to let
them go is great. They will not relent. The weakened Russian's will soon release
this penned up animalistic culture to wreak havoc on the Holy Land. It is this
"chief prince" who will lead militant Islam into utter humiliation and
destruction on the fields and mountains of Israel. If we are the generation to
see the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39, then Chechnya is being prepared to lead
the "Last Jihad" invasion of Israel.
These events have been known to God from
the very beginning. The Book of Genesis has given us the background of the Gog,
and the "Russian prince" who settled north of the Caucasus after Noah landed on
Mount Ararat (a leading peak of the Caucasus Mountain chain)! It is not until
Ezekiel raises the Gog back into remembrance that they become important to us
today. It is the "chief prince" of the Gog who lead this dastardly 3 pronged
invasion of Israel. The thought seems to me that it is the Gog who
secretly approve of this invasion, and in a sense the "chief prince" represents
the wishes of it's former unwanted ruler. To the God of the Bible, when He pronounces His
judgment on this "chief hate filled prince" also pronounces judgment against the
Gog who fostered this wild prince. The Gog (as king of the North) follow their
"chief prince" just 7-years later. The Great Tribulation begins with the "Last
Jihad" Islamic invasion of Israel that opens the door to the building of the Third Jewish
Holy Temple, and ends with the Russian invasion of Israel at Armageddon where half the
city of Jerusalem is conquered. The city is about to fall as a
small remnant of spiritual Jews return from having fled into the wilderness from
the antichrist during the last half of the Great Tribulation. They will have
built the Third Jewish Temple, and established kosher worship. They will have turned back to the Bible, and will be appealing
to the secular Jews who remained to turn to Christ. All the Jews will be
preparing for the worst by the Gog. It is then that the Lord Jesus Christ
returns to establish His Jewish Kingdom.
He saves Jerusalem, and His remnant out
of the judgment of Armageddon much as Noah and his family were saved out of the
great flood.
I watch the Chechnyan revolt with great
interest!

in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against
Jerusalem
to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the
women ravished; and
half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is
before Jerusalem
on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward
the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half
of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the
mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before
the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall
come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be
clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor
night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;
half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea:
in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall
be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD,
and his name one.

Group Claims Creation
of First Human Clone
Reuters
Friday, December 27, 2002; 10:08 AM
HOLLYWOOD, Florida (Reuters) - A company associated with a group that
believes extraterrestrials created
mankind claimed Friday that it had produced the first clone of a
human being.
The fire storm is upon us. Technology is
now able to spin computer age advancements into god like abilities. It is a lie,
but the spin is very real. These scientists must take what God has already
created before they can start. They claim creative god like powers that mimic my
making my morning coffee. I have never tried to spin making a cup of coffee into
supernatural power. "From nothing" is God like, not their claim to god like
powers through the science of cloning. Taking the raw chemicals that make up a
living being, and putting that together would be something to brag upon, but
this is only making coffee spun into miracle working power. All that this is,
and is means is, is a modern twist on fornication. These
babies will have no mama, or have no papa. The scientists will have been the
fornicators injecting what God has made into unknown sinful experiments with no
feeling of responsibility.
The abandoned babies will still find a Father in
heaven who loves them just as He loves every crack baby born through fornication, and provided a means for their salvation should they come
to Him when and if they reach accountability.
The scientists will face the
penalty of their sin at the judgment. They will sit with all the fornicators
throughout history who pompously thought they created life without personal responsibility. The cloning scientists do nothing more then what fornicators
have done throughout history. The media spins this news into blasphemous visions
of man reaching god like power.
"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done"
Fornication has Consequences
Ezekiel 16:26-38
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours,
great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have
diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that
hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast
unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not
be satisfied.
29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan
unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all
these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and
makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in
that thou scornest hire;
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers
instead of her husband!
33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers,
and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none
followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no
reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35 Wherefore, O
harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured
out, and thy nakedness discovered
through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and
with all the idols of thy abominations, and
by the blood of thy
children, which thou didst give unto them;
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom
thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that
thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will
discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 And I will judge
thee, as women that break wedlock
and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

Jordan Braces for War,
Fears Break-Up of Iraq
Reuters
Saturday, December 28, 2002; 8:49 PM
By Suleiman al-Khalidi
AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan, a major regional ally of Washington, said on
Saturday it was bracing for a probable U.S. led war against Iraq and
expressed fears that this could lead
to the break-up of its powerful eastern neighbor.
"There is a very large chance of a military strike against Iraq and the
chances of avoiding war are very marginal," Foreign Minister Marwan al-Muasher
told reporters in a meeting arranged by the local press syndicate.
Echoing widespread domestic worries about
Iraq's break-up in a post-war
conflict, Muasher said the kingdom's interests would not be served by
its eastern neighbor's disintegration.
"We again insist on Iraq's
territorial integrity. Iraq should not be divided and we are against any
intervention or its break-up into statelets," he said.
Jordanian decision-makers voice alarm that a possible outcome of a U.S.
military invasion of its eastern Arab neighbor would be civil war and strife
in multi-ethnic Iraq.
Officials are worried this would
reverberate across the region, sowing domestic instability in Arab countries
such as Jordan where anti-U.S. sentiment is strong.
What is going to happen after the war is
what is on the Islamic mind. The democratization of Iraq will bring democracy to
the Middle East Arabs, and many other Islamic dictatorships are worried. The
moderate Arab countries are most likely to get caught up in the new fever of
freedom. Jordan and Saudi Arabia are the most probable in my estimation to
follow quickly the democracy call. The peace that will follow with Israel will
be short lived according to the Bible. Freedom will not bring a change to the
hate filled hearts of the son's of Ishmael. I'm sure the spin will cause the
bells of peace to ring round the world as the greatest conflict in the world
will be declared solved. The joy will last only to the fulfilling of Ezekiel 38
& 39. The Islamic invasion of Israel!
The new Iraq is headed to worldly
success if this is the time for Babylon in the book of Revelation to take it's
prophetic roll in world history. Today is the day when Arab oil can merge with
the Western world's technology to produce an economic entity that will rule the
world. This will be the base from which the antichrist will launch his desire to
be king of the world. Babylon will provide him the monetary, and technological
platform from which to rule the world. The meaning of 666 will be revealed when
the antichrist takes control forcing all to submit or suffer.
What will happen in Iraq during this
next year should stir the heart of all who study the Bible. A wake-up call is
being shouted to a sleepy Church that has become neither cold nor hot. The time
to separate the wheat from the tares is upon us. The Church is about to be
broken up. Apostate Christianity is also headed for worldly success. The true
saints will be taken (raptured), and the tares will be left behind blinded by
pride to their real condition. The religions of Christianity will continue. The
Churches will continue having their traditional Sunday services. The Catholics
will have their perverted priesthood giving them mass. The Charismatic circus
revivals will continue calling the gullible to the Charismatic mystical Christ.
The Southern Baptists will continue having their yearly conventions. Jimmy
Carter may return having had his feathers smoothed, and Bill Clinton may be
honored for his example of repentance? But, the saints will no longer be
present! This is what will happen after the rapture! This is what will happen
after the breakup of the Church!
Will this coming year be the year?
"Thy Kingdom Come. Thy Will be Done"
The Breakup of the Christian
Church
Matthew 24:38-51
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the
one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch
the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over
his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him
asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.

Jews Distort the Torah
30 December 2002
After consistently attempting to convince
Arab readers that
Jews, Judaism and the Jewish tradition are the harbingers of all evil, a new
article in the Kuwaiti newspaper Khaleej Times reverses the trend -
purporting to show that it is Jewish distortions of Judaism - not Judaism itself
- that are the source of evil in the Middle East.
 Titling the article, “Israeli bid to distort texts of religious books exposed”,
Muawia E. Ibrahim reports about an Arab historian who “has exposed attempts by
Israeli right-wing organizations to distort texts of Torah and other religious
books in order to justify Israel´s occupation of Palestinian and other Arab
territories and to erase the Arab identity of territories under its control.”
The historian, Dr Mohammed Khalifa Hassan, Director of the Center for Oriental
Studies at Cairo University, delivered his lecture, entitled "Israeli political
thought and its relationship with the Jewish legends", at the Zayed Centre for
Coordination and Follow-Up (ZCCF).
The newspaper reported that Dr. Hassan told the gathering that “Jews inside and
outside Israel use rumor tactics about the occurrence of miracles and other
religious phenomena for the sake of achieving political ends, especially during
the periods of oppression and legends to explain Torah texts.” He cited, as an
example of “distortions in Torah,” the text related to the birth of the Red
Heifer. According to the Egyptian historian, the Red Heifer commandments
detailed in the Torah are “aimed at the destruction [of] al-Aqsa mosque and
rebuilding of the
third Temple in its place. According to their legend, the
birth of the red cow, which they claim has already taken place in the village of
Kafr Hisidim [sic] near Jerusalem, is hailed as a sign of the arrival of
the Messiah....” Other examples of Torah “distortions” according to the Egyptian
lecturer are: “the legend about the purity of the Israeli Jewish blood, the
legend of the promised land, the
Divine Promises and the
belief of Messiah´s
return to David´s House to re-establish the kingdom and gathering of Jews,
etc....” Khaleej Times reported, “They exploit such superstitious and
mythical interpretations to serve their political and religious objectives, Dr
Hassan said.” According to the Kuwaiti newspaper, “Dr. Hassan concluded his
lecture by saying that such religious legends provided great support to the
Israeli military establishment that perpetrates heinous atrocities against
innocent Palestinians and Arabs in general.”
Islam is not blind to what the God of
the Bible is doing in preparation for the coming Kingdom. Muawia E. Ibrahim has
clearly acknowledged the issue. It is the Temple Mount, and the soon
coming Third Jewish Temple. It is the re-establishment of kosher blood
sacrifice, and the return to Biblical Judaism (Book of Leviticus) by the Jews.
It is the return of the Messiah, and the establishment of the promised Davidic
Kingdom. He has it right! Where he has it wrong is that he claims the Bible is a
political book. The product of modern day Zionists intent on taking the land
from the Arabs. It is a lame argument against the most established book of all
human history, but what else can he do in resisting the plan of the God of the
Bible?
It seems to me that Islam has a greater
awareness of what is happening then does Christianity. Islam sees the Jewish
Kingdom as here while Christians sleep. Most of Christianity still thinks the
Kingdom will be a Gentile dominated spiritual phenomenon rather then a literal
Jewish Old Testament type Kingdom re-established in the Holy Land. Islam is
refusing to step aside for the coming Kingdom, but Christianity for the most
part is just ignoring it.
How many 2003 sermons will be as pointed
as the Islamic professor has been about the reality of Israel, the Third Jewish
Holy Temple, and the imminent coming of the Messiah to establish His Davidic
Kingdom? The silence I predict will be deafening. The Church has failed by
becoming neither cold or hot, and failure is a topic that does not generate
popularity. Preaching the reality of Israel means the Church has failed, and
must step aside! The Church stands in the way as much as Islam! The application
of Bible doctrine which separates right from wrong is not a topic that is
religiously correct in today's Christianity. It is why the Church has become
lukewarm! The fundamental aggressive resistance to error is no longer tolerated
in this post Evangelical Christian age where unity has been turned into
blasphemy. The time is right for dispensational change! The Fundamentalists have
it right again in their fight against the lukewarm milktoast Evangelicals who
now dominate main stream Christianity!
"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done"
The Coming Jewish Kingdom
Psalms 145:10-19
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless
thee.
11 They shall speak of
the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the
glorious majesty of his
kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed
down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due
season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 The LORD is
righteous in all his ways, and
holy in all his works.
18 The LORD is nigh
unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in
truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will
save them.

Talk about shooting yourself in the
foot! These are not the keystone cops, but Hollywood should take note of the
Palestinian Authority attempts to stop God from ushering in the Jewish Kingdom.
Of course, there is nothing funny about Yasser Arafat, and the Palestinian
Authority as there is nothing funny about police enforcement. Hollywood is good
at turning heartache into a smile. I suppose if it were not politically
incorrect the next big blockbuster movie could be the Keystone Palestinians? The
story lines could at least be discreetly used in the roadrunner/coyote cartoons.
The reason the Catholic Church does not
deal with the flagrant sins of their priests is because they falsely endow these
priests with supernatural usurped mystical power with the false claim of their
administering the actual body and blood of Christ during the mass.
The righteousness associated with Christ's miraculous
power is in question when these pedophile, homosexual, whore mongering priests
are exposed. God is brought directly into the situation when His power is
claimed by these priests as being manifested when they conduct the mass, or last
rites. God appears weak or blind, and not in control when these
unrepentant wolves supposedly exercise His power while secretly
committing sin of the blackest hue! The Catholic Church faced with this
dichotomy of a homosexually saturated priesthood preying on little boys just
tried to maintain the secrecy of these vicious acts perpetrated against
children. It did not work because God would not allow the sins of the priesthood
to remain hidden! These priests have been exposed as phony to all but the
hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. They are not excommunicated for the
vileness of their sin, but rather protected by a system that maintains power
through false claims that they are the distributors of God's power.
