Shalom Warns Against Marking Yesha Exports
14:14 Nov 30, '03 / 5 Kislev 5764

(IsraelNN.com) Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom warned against moving ahead with the policy of marking Yesha (Judea, Samaria & Gaza) exports for identification by European Union officials.

Last week, Industry & Trade Minister Ehud Olmert agreed to EU demands to mark all good produced in areas liberated in the June 1967 War, including all of Yesha, the Golan Heights, and the Jordan Valley. These goods will not enjoy tax benefits granted to other goods manufactured or grown in “Israel”.

Shalom is warning that compliance with the EU demands will lead to future political complications.

 

 

Europeans did this once before. During the hay days of Nazi domination Jews were required to wear a yellow star of David on their clothing. It was the first step in identifying who and what was Jewish. The final step was the holocaust. Europeans apparently have no remorse as they again single out the Jew for later special consideration. Most of us know the purpose of this move is so European tariffs will not adversely effect the Palestinian Arabs while making sure Jewish settlements in Yesha do not get the same special treatment as the Palestinian Arabs. How they think they are not being racist by requiring only exportable goods produced by Jews carry this special tag is beyond imagination.

Separating the Jews from all others will be a major move by the antichrist. His method will be the opposite of what the Europeans are now attempting. Instead of identifying the Jews, the antichrist will identify everyone other then the Jews. The mark of the beast that allows all on earth to buy and sell will be denied to the Jews. It will be just another twist on anti-Semitism. I'm sure just as the Europeans claim they are not anti-Semitic so also will the followers of the antichrist make the same claim in the beginning. The sad reality will be that the last step will be far worse then the holocaust. It will be the final solution of the Jewish problem by worldwide gentile agreement conducted under the auspices of the antichrist! God's answer as revealed in the Bible is Armageddon!

14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Anti-Israel Speeches At Geneva

"Peace" Ceremony
10:29 Dec 02, '03 / 7 Kislev 5764
 

Yesterday's Geneva launching ceremony - that at which Yossi Beilin told the world, "Peace is just around the corner!" - was dotted with anti-Israel speeches.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, the highest-ranking PA figure involved in formulating the Geneva initiative, threatened that the counter-terrorism partition wall will "cause the Palestinians to lose faith in the solution of two states for two peoples," and said that Israel is on its way to becoming an apartheid state. At least one other speaker referred to the "fascism" of Prime Minister Sharon. Arab speakers praised their fighters and martyrs, while Israeli speakers did not condemn the Palestinian terrorism that has claimed some 1,150 lives in the past ten years.

Former MK Yossi Beilin, the main force behind the Geneva document, said that such talk was a "mistake" and "would harm the peace." He did not forget that peace was still in the air, however, saying, "People will tell you that it's impossible to end the violence, and that the settlement enterprise [in Judea, Samaria and Gaza] is irreversible. Don't believe them. We say to you: Everything can be solved. Don't give up. The peace is just around the corner."

"The document is a virtual one," Beilin said, "but all of us are real, and our heartbeats are also real, and this is the reason that we are committed to fight for peace."

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter took the opportunity of the "peace" conference to blame Israel for the failure of the Road Map. He said that the "wall" Israel built - for the purpose of protecting itself from terrorist attacks - is to blame for the Road Map's failure. "Bush's support for Israel's policy, and his ignoring of the Palestinian nation's suffering, encourage anti-American feelings and even terrorism," Carter added. He even said that terrorism must stop in exchange for acceptance of the Geneva initiative - implying, according to people in the audience, that until then, terrorism could continue.

Israel was forced to swallow another blow as well - not surprisingly at the hands of Yasser Arafat. It had been agreed beforehand that a message from Arafat would not be read aloud at the ceremony - but at the last moment the PA delegation demanded and threatened, and the Swiss hosts gave in. The message from Arafat, who is considered to be the father of modern-day terrorism, stated, "While Israel continues to build a Berlin Wall, we hold out an olive branch."

 

Understand what this Geneva Peace movement is about. The most liberal Jews willing to sellout Israel  for worldly fame got together with the Palestinians to promote the European phony peace plan. It is presented to the world as humble peace loving Jews and Palestinians circumventing their governments for the cause of peace. The speeches at the peace ceremony reflect the truth that this is just another one-sided political movement focused on permanently establishing an unbiblical heathen State in the middle of the Holy Land. It is another attempt to ignore God and the Bible for a man centered peace plan. It is that broken record heard again and again: Peace, Peace, when there is no peace.

Jimmy Carter has said Israel must choose between Settlements and peace. Imagine this former Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher telling Joshua he must not occupy and conquer, but rather sue for peace with the Canaanites? I only wonder which Bible he claimed to be teaching? I only wonder which Bible he reads today? I know he resigned from the Southern Baptist Denomination when they conducted evangelistic efforts among the Mormons whom Carter considers as Christians in good standing. I am appalled that he had to quit on his own accord this Christian denomination that the Bible commands should have thrown him out long ago for heresy!

The condemnation of what God is doing in the Holy Land was universal at this peace ceremony. The Europeans, the apostate Christians, and the turn-coat Jews are all in agreement to stop God's future plans for the Holy Land. They are united to stop God from ever re-establishing the Promised Land again. They stand uncompromising in their own plan to give Biblical Judah and Samaria to the heathen Islamic Arab Palestinians so God's word can never be fulfilled during their generation. This is the phony Geneva Peace Plan the world has fallen in love with. It is just laying the foundation for the road map to Armageddon!

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done"

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

AP: West Bank Outposts Slowly Digging In

Wed Dec 3, 1:40 AM ET

By RAVI NESSMAN, Associated Press Writer

MITZPEH DANNY, West Bank - Just six months after Israel committed to a peace plan requiring it to dismantle scores of illegal Jewish settlement outposts, an Associated Press inspection of 18 of the encampments found the settlers have expanded significantly. New roads, additional trailer homes and construction on stone villas were among the striking signs of permanence.

The creation of the outposts — many of which began with only an antenna, a water tower or a few trailers on a hill — mirrors the birth of some older West Bank settlements, which began decades ago as unauthorized homesteads of a few trailers before the government legitimized them, gave them financial aid and installed public utilities.

The outposts — none of which house more than a few dozen families — are so far unauthorized, and are widely viewed as a separate issue from the 150 established West Bank and Gaza Strip (news - web sites) settlements where some 220,000 Israelis live.

At Mitzpeh Danny, six miles from the Palestinian town of Ramallah, residents easily smuggled four large trailer homes into their burgeoning community over the last four months, well after the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan was accepted.

The trailers were brought into the outpost under the cover of darkness — not out of fear the government would stop them, but as part of an effort to avoid protests and unwanted attention, resident Reuven Gafni said.

With the arrival of a new family last week, 20 families now call this hilltop community home, up from six a year ago.

With paved roads, running water and a hookup to the electric grid from a settlement across the road, the people of Mitzpeh Danny don't act like they're waiting to be evicted.

On a recent afternoon, Gafni stacked large stones to create a border for a garden. Elichai Dinner spread soil in front of his home in preparation for planting a lawn. Rami Dayan installed a canopy over a playground bench.

"We build. What they argue about, I have no idea," Dayan said.

Mitzpeh Danny and the other outposts visited by AP run up and down the spine of the West Bank, separating the major population centers of Nablus, Ramallah and Jericho. Were they to become permanent settlements, the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state would be impossible.

Many Palestinians and peace activists who yearn for a two-state solution fear that is exactly what is happening.

Such outposts were supposed to end with the acceptance of the road map at a summit in June attended by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites), President Bush (news - web sites) and then-Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

The plan required Israel to immediately remove the estimated 60 outposts established since March 2001, when Sharon took office, and freeze construction at the rest — as well as at older settlements.

Soon after the summit, soldiers, under the glare of television cameras, defied protesting settlers to tear down a few outposts.

The government says it has taken down or prevented the establishment of 43 outposts since the summit. It has refused to release a list of these, despite repeated requests from AP.

Peace Now, an Israeli group opposed to the settlements, says Israel has only taken down eight of the old outposts, but settlers have established five new ones that remain standing.

The group says over 100 outposts remain, some established before March 2001. The numbers can change daily with the comings and goings of trailer homes.

Sharon told reporters last week his government did not plan to tear down all the outposts, saying some had "supreme security value."

"Whatever is illegal will be removed ... What is necessary will remain," he said. Officials said some outposts would be legalized.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, speaking in an interview, said Israel must remove all the outposts, as required by the road map. "This must stop," he said. "We must see genuine steps on the ground, not dismantling a caravan here and a caravan there."

Defense Ministry officials said Tuesday they planned to dismantle several outposts in the coming days.

Sharon adviser Zalman Shoval said some outposts may have been beefed up in recent months, but without government approval. "Perhaps people were not watchful enough," he said.

Peace activists dismiss that claim, saying new power lines and paved roads could only have been installed with at least tacit government approval.

"The Israeli policy is not to evacuate outposts and not to dismantle outposts, but to expand the outposts and make them permanent settlements," said Yariv Oppenheimer of Peace Now. "All the talk of dismantling the outposts is just words."

The government denies the outposts are the beginnings of new settlements, saying the ones not slated for destruction will only stay as long as they are needed for security.

"If the peace process moves ahead, if the Palestinians begin to adhere to the road map, then some of our security concerns will be alleviated, and then some of those outposts will become redundant and superfluous," Shoval said.

For now, work continues at the outposts.

At Mitzpeh Haggit, Avshalom Nadav worked recently on a massive metal frame sprouting from the roof of his trailer, the skeleton of a more permanent home to match the piled stone walls, green wood roofs and satellite dishes of his neighbor's home.

In the background sat an industrial backhoe and a bulldozer. No one would reveal what those machines were for.

At several other outposts, residents were silent and hostile, ordering journalists to leave and brandishing automatic rifles. "This is private property... Get out of here!" said one armed man in his 20s wearing a skullcap over long hair.

Gafni said the government may not want Mitzpeh Danny and other outposts to grow, but it doesn't want the settlers to leave either: They are an important bargaining chip with the Palestinians.

Though the residents of Mitzpeh Danny plan to stay, they would leave without a fight if it was slated for destruction, Gafni said.

"If the (government) wants, they really could kick us out of here with no problem," he said.

 

As far as the secular politicians of both the left and right are concerned the independent fundamental Jewish settlements are only a "bargaining chip" to be used for personal political gain. There is no political Biblical vision of the Promised Land being restored to this generation. These settlers understand that they will be sold-out by the politicians, but they have a tenacious pioneering spirit which they know will outlive all the political parties. These independent settlers do not belong to either the right or the left. They have no allegiance to any political party. They exhibit a "do it yourself" independence which I am very familiar with from my years of ministry in Montana and rural Minnesota. They are not city folk who only know how to flip a switch or turn a key. They are self-sustaining rugged mountain men as were those who settled Montana. Should the government not give them electricity, they can turn on a generator for convenience, or just do without. No politician is going to stop them. The Jewish population admires their independence as much as Americans admire our forefathers that made our heritage great. It would be political suicide for anyone to stop them now. It is too late already! These settlers on their own have stopped the politicians from preventing God's future plans for the Holy Land. They again prove independent men each following their own heart with the Bible as their guide can change the entire direction the world is going. There is no need for denominationalism! These Jews have defied their own government. They defy the fearsome Islamic Palestinian Arabs who actually fear them. And, they stand in defiance of the gentile world with it's uncompromising two State solution as their unbiblical future peace plan for the Holy Land.

Mass Terrorist Attack in School - Prevented
10:10 Dec 04, '03 / 9 Kislev 5764

A terrorist attack of a new kind - at a crowded junior high school - was thwarted yesterday, thanks to intensive police work and intelligence gathering.

The story started on Tuesday, with the receipt of intelligence warnings regarding terrorist intentions in northern Israel. The information was received thanks to the arrest of 30 terrorists throughout Judea and Samaria - specifically, several of 17 Islamic Jihad terrorists from Jenin. The warnings became more intense yesterday, pinpointing an attack north of Beit She'an in the northern Jordan Valley. Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler reports that this information proved to be untrue, but was helpful in any event. Large police forces, including helicopters, were gathered in the area, and the central Nachal I'ron (Wadi Ara) highway near Megiddo was closed off for 90 minutes.

Shortly afterwards, around 11 AM, more information arrived that the terrorists were hiding in an Arab village somewhere between Jenin and Beit She'an. Special police forces arrived in the area, and were gradually directed to a mosque in Bardala, just north of the Jordan Valley community of Shadmot Mecholah. The forces ordered everyone out of the mosque, and began interrogating each one - until it was realized that the two sought-after terrorists were still inside. "We called for them to come out," one of the force later said, "and they came without resisting." The would-be murderers' explosive vest, containing over 10 kilograms of explosives, was found near the stairwell of the mosque.

Upon interrogation, the terrorists confessed to having planned to commit the heinous crime at a school in the western Galilee town of Yokne'am - as close as possible to a crowd of young students. The terrorist worked last year at a construction site adjacent to the school, and so knew the area well. Police sources said that had such a major attack actually been perpetrated, it would have been a "major escalation" in the terrorist war.

The partition wall/fence is also a factor in the near-attack. Some say that the fence made it difficult for the terrorists to cross the Green Line into pre-1967 Israel, while others said that they simply found a spot where there is no fence to cross over. The terrorists assumed that once over the Line, they would be able to travel relatively freely - even as far as the 60 kilometers between Bardela and Yokne'am.

Over 40 additional terrorist warnings are still in effect, and the police are deployed on special alert in various areas throughout the country.

 

 

The entire world should stop, and withdraw from all contact with these Islamic Palestinian Arabs who have reached the depths of human depravity. Once before the Bible records depravity in a god's name of such unbelievable horror that all involved just left the scene, and left the depraved to their own demise. Where is the shock? Where is the indignation? Is it only because these are Jewish children being targeted by these conscienceless animals?

 

Num 11:23

23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

"Hudna" Ceasefire Agreement Expected by Early Next Week
11:31 Dec 05, '03 / 10 Kislev 5764

Islam permits this type of ceasefire as a temporary cessation of hostilities until one side feels that it is strong enough to resume the fight. The Israeli Government has never been an advocate of such an arrangement, in the knowledge that it will be used to strengthen the terrorist organizations and enable them to prepare for a renewed attack against Israel.

When the issue first arose, six months ago, Israel demanded that then-PA prime minister Abu Mazen totally disarm the terrorist groups and dismantle the terrorist infrastructure. It now demands the same of his successor Abu Ala - who has said, however, that he does not plan to militarily confront the terrorist factions.

Egyptian Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman announced today that Egypt has a plan of its own for a ceasefire. He said, however, that his country would rather not force its opinion on the sides and hopes that they can reach an agreement on their own.

The terrorists say they demand that Israel cease all its military activities against them and stop building the partition fence. Hamas adds a demand for the PA to disassociate itself from the Geneva understandings. Israel, for its part, has not carried out any targeted killings of terrorist leaders in six weeks. The bottom line, therefore, is that a hudna agreement is expected to be finalized by Sunday or Monday.

The talks between over a dozen terrorist organizations and the Palestinian Authority continue in Cairo today, with the stated goal of reaching a "hudna."

 

The gentile pressure on Israel is about to become extreme. Israel will now be expected to give away the farm in response to this phony peace offer by the terrorists. All the time these wild animals will be searching for soft targets like the foiled attack on grade school children of this week. The world expects Israel to deal with the terrorists as if they were reasonable human beings not the depraved animals that they really are. The blatant targeting of Jewish children went right past the gentile world. It's as if it never happened?

Several gentile peace plans are now in the offering. All are phony! All are based on permanently establishing a heathen Islamic Palestinian Arab State in Biblical Judah and Samaria. All of them defy what the Bible says is God's future plan for the Holy Land.

Islam has purposely walled up, and planted a Moslem cemetery in front of the bricked over East Gate of the Old city of Jerusalem. The reason is because the Bible says the Jewish Messiah will someday enter the Temple Mount through this gate. Knowing no religious Jew would ever walk over a heathen's grave, they assured themselves they had prevented this Biblical prophecy from ever coming to pass.

Today, the gentile world does not want to submit to strict Biblical righteousness. Many of these politicians are aware of the importance of the Holy Land to the God of the Bible. They are subtly bricking up, and planting their own style cemetery. All these feeble efforts will prove futile in the end. The Bible stands, or falls with what happens in the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount. The final victory is already recorded. Peace on God's terms will come with all it's purity and holiness. Biblical righteousness will soon be the rule on planet earth. The importance of God's Word will again be recognized by all mankind! The time is again here when all will see whether God's Word will come to pas or not.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done"

 

Rev 20:4

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
KJV
 

Identification of the Prophesied Imam Mahdi

The Holy Prophet Muhammad^(SAW) has prophesied about several events that will occur just before the advent of the day of judgment.  Among these, Rasulullah^(SAW) has foretold the advent of one of his descendants, Al Mahdi (the guided one), which will materialize when the believers are severely oppressed in every corner of the world.  He will fight the oppressors, unite the Muslims, bring peace and justice to the world, rule over the Arabs, and lead a prayer in Mekkah at which Isa^(pbuh) (Jesus) will be present.

Throughtout the history of Islam, a few individuals -- driven either by the desperate state of Muslims in their community or a selfish pursuit of power and prestige -- laid claim to being Mahdi and found a following among the uninformed masses who were looking for salvation from the heavens.  For some of these individuals (like Bab of Iran or Mirza Ghulam of India) the claim to being Mahdi was just a stepping stone to the development of heretic sects which broke away from the fold of Islam.  Thus, it is at least prudent to visit the facts of this prophecy and avoid falling pray to false claimants that will appear from time to time.

As Muslims, we should remember that the prophecy about Mahdi is one that will come to pass. This prophecy, however, does not absolve the Muslim ummah from its duty to strive in the cause of Allah^(SWT), oppose injustice, and seek peace and betterment of human condition.  Centuries have passes from the time of the holy Prophet^(SAW) and there is a good possibility that many more will expire before the advent of Al Mahdi.  Muslims who are negligent in their duty hoping for a savior are committing a grave mistake and are not following the divine decrees ordained in Quran or taught by Rasulullah^(SAW).

 

Islam is certain their false Messiah will be coming. They do not want Christ, or the God of the Bible. They want Mahdi who will be a direct descendent of Mohamed! They look at the terrorist movement as ushering in the day of Mahdi. The Koran and the Bible are at odds about how the day of Judgment will come. Islamists with their false god Allah are now looking to the Holy land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount as affirmation that the day of judgment is near. Mahdi as a direct descendent of Mohamed, and not of Jacob as is Jesus Christ will come to be their savior according to the Koran. It even stats that Jesus Christ will be there on that last day sitting at Mahdi's feet overwhelmed by his wisdom and power.

The world stands on the sidelines willingly oblivious to what is happening in the Holy Land. Even George Bush is on record saying the God of the Bible is the same as this Allah of the Koran with his prophet Mohamed and soon coming Mahdi. The vast majority of world leaders are ignorant of the true meaning of the battle now taking place in the Holy Land. It is either going to be the Koran, or the Bible that will be proven true. It will either be the God of the Bible who wrote the Old and New Testaments, or Allah and the Koran. One is true. One is false!

The Bible and the Koran agree that judgment will settle the dispute. The Biblical judgment goes far beyond just the Islamists. It records all the heathen including all the apostates will be destroyed. Only the Jews will find favor with the God of the Bible. Provision is made on that day for the good strangers, or converted gentiles according to the Bible. The next Biblical dispensation is the Kingdom Age. The Jewish Messiah who is none other then the Lord Jesus Christ will sit on His throne in Ezekiel's Temple located on Mount Zion, at Jerusalem, and in the Holy Land. He will rule for the next 1000 years in purity and holiness. Biblical righteousness will bring peace, and joy to all the earth.

At Least 41 Killed in Suicide Bombing on Russian Train

Fri Dec 5, 2:35 PM ET

By STEVEN LEE MYERS The New York Times

MOSCOW, Dec. 5 A suicide bomber blew himself up inside a crowded commuter train in southern Russia today, killing at least 41 people in what President Vladimir V. Putin denounced as a terrorist act intended to disrupt parliamentary elections here this weekend.

The explosion, which occurred at 7:42 a.m., wrenched apart the second carriage of the train only moments after it left the station in Yessentuki, near the foothills of the Caucasus, not far from Chechnya (news - web sites).

The force of the bomb, which one official estimated to contain more than 20 pounds of plastic explosives, hurled bodies and body parts dozens of yards from the carriage. More than 150 other passengers, many of them students on their way to school in the resort city of Mineralniye Vodi, were wounded, some of them gravely. Officials warned that the death toll could rise higher.

It seemed unlikely that today's suicide attack would drastically affect the outcome of Sunday's elections, in which the party loyal to Mr. Putin, United Russia, is expected to win a comfortable majority.

"The crime committed today is of course an attempt to destabilize the situation in the country on the eve of the parliamentary elections," Mr. Putin said in remarks broadcast on national television. "I am sure the criminals will not succeed in this."

The bombing nevertheless underscored the bloody price that the smoldering conflict in Chechnya continues to exact on Russia, despite the Kremlin's efforts to write a new constitution and elect a new president in the battered republic.

 

Terrorism on innocent civilians has become the weapon of choice used by the military arm of Islam. Most Islamists are waiting on the side lines cheering on their militant heroes. All of Islam is in a state of expectation ready to respond to Koran prophecies of Moslem domination over the Middle East. Death and destruction is the acceptable means of bringing these Koran prophecies to fruition.

It is Chechnya North of the Caucasus where the Bible predicts a future invasion of Israel will have as its origin. A massive three pronged Islamic invasion is in the works. The Northern prong comprised of all the disgruntled Russian Moslems make the first move flowing over the Caucasus into Turkey. The Moslem Turks do not resist, but rather join-in with their Islamic brothers who continue on into Lebanon then Northern Israel. Iran attacks through Syria and Jordan from the East, and Libya with the hordes of Moslems from North Africa attack through Egypt into the South of Israel. It is a perfect plan with only one flaw. It is not the will of the God of the Bible that the Koran should be prophetically fulfilled. Rather, God provides a great Islamic feast for all the birds and beasts on the mountains and fields of Israel. It will take 7 years for the Jews to bury all their bones in order to cleanse the land of these heathen invaders.

The present world situation makes the building of a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount impossible. That will all change after Ezekiel 39 takes place. The Bible says this Temple must be built, and in operation by the midpoint of the Great Tribulation where the antichrist is prophesied as usurping the Lord Jesus Christ by sitting on His throne. Islam must be marginalized before Temple construction can ever start. I continue to watch what Islam is doing North of the Caucasus with great anticipation. I know it will all end with the great feast God has in store for the soon coming Islamic invaders.

 

Gen 21:32-34

32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

MK Eldad Acts to Prevent Temple Mount Arafat Burial
22:11 Dec 07, '03 / 12 Kislev 5764

MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) submitted a Knesset bill today (Sunday) outlawing burial on the Temple Mount. There have been reports recently that Yassir Arafat intends to be buried there to strengthen the Arab claim to Judaism’s holiest site.  “I intend to prevent the transformation of the Temple Mount into a Palestinian national site,” Eldad said.

MK Eldad submitted the proposed law, which also prohibits burial within Jerusalem’s Old City, in response to increasing reports that Yassir Arafat intends to be buried on the Temple Mount - in a final attempt, according to Eldad, “to strengthen the Arab hold on Judaism’s holiest site.”

“This law is intended to prevent this severe act,” explained MK Eldad, adding that already an Arab family claiming ownership to a burial plot along the western wall of the Temple Mount is prepared to hand it over to Arafat.

MK Eldad explained that, “Jewish tradition from the Second Temple period has even forbidden burial within the walls of the Old City. The only exceptions were the Jewish residents of the Old City killed during the War of Independence.”

MK Eldad added, “The Arab occupiers are attempting to bury their dead within the Old City walls and on the Temple Mount as a means of creating political and religious facts on the ground in Jerusalem.”

“I propose,” said MK Eldad, “that just as many Jews want to be buried in the land of their fathers, having their bodies brought to Israel for burial, Yassir Arafat should be returned to Egypt, his homeland, for burial.”

 

Yassir Arafat is typical of the entire Islamic Arab Palestinian problem. They are mostly Johnny-come-lately's trying to rewrite the truth into an Arabian tail. Arafat would like the world to believe he has roots going all the way back to the Philistine presents in the Holy Land. The Biblical record does affirm that there was a Philistine outpost near Beer-Sheba that predated Abraham's entrance into the Holy Land. The problem is that Arafat is an Arab, and never has any archaeologist identified any Arab roots before or after the times of the Philistines. It is pure bunk, but flat out lying has never been a problem for Arafat, or the Palestinians. They have taught all their isolated children this fairytale, and now a generation of suicide bombers go to their death believing it!

The origins of the Philistines is still being studied, but what is certain is they invaded Crete destroying what was left of the old Minoan culture that was in decline. They crossed the Mediterranean, and many archeologists believe they destroyed the Egyptian navy because their ships could tack with their movable main sail. An agreement with the Egyptians gave them unopposed free reign to conquer the Holy Land from the backward stone aged culture of the Israeli's. The Philistines came as a modern army with iron swords, and brass armor that eaisily could defeat the sticks and stones they faced from the locals. It was the little shepherd boy who stood against the mighty Goliath, and suffered the Philistines their first defeat. Little David acknowledged it was the God of the Jews who had provided the victory, and not he himself. The great King David brought Israel out of the stone age, and turned the Nation into a power in it's own right. The Philistines faded from the historical record at this point lost to all, but this generation of Palestinians who resurrected their memory because of the Arafat's lie.

I suppose historians did not mount any defense of the truth because the lie was thought so ridiculous that no one could ever believe it. I'm sure a lot of anti-Semitism was also couched in the silence. Today, even many of the sophisticated Europeans hardly twitch when they hear the claims of Arafat. His demand to be buried on the Jewish Temple Mount will certainly bring a flood of support from the gentile world that hates Jewish sovereignty over the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount!

 

Ezek 38:2-3
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

Suicide Bomb Kills at Least 5 in Heart of Russian Capital

By STEVEN LEE MYERS

Published: December 9, 2003
 

OSCOW, Dec. 9 - A bomb exploded outside a hotel in the heart of Moscow today, killing at least five people and wounding 13 in what officials described as a terrorist attack only a few hundred feet from the Kremlin and the lower house of parliament.

The explosion, which officials said appeared to be the work of one or two suicide bombers, came only two days Russia's parliamentary elections and only four days after a suicide bombing wrecked a commuter train in southern Russia, killing at least 44.

The bomb exploded just before 11:00 a.m. on a cold, snowy morning, leaving chaos and carnage in its wake. The blast wrecked parked cars and shattered thick glass windows of the National Hotel, one of the city's most famous landmarks.

Moments after the explosion, four wrenched corpses and body parts could be seen on the sidewalk of Mokhovaya Street, which parallels the Kremlin's wall, less than 800 feet away.

President Vladimir V. Putin, who was meeting with legislators inside the Kremlin when the bomb exploded, denounced the bombing as an attempt to destabilize Russia's democracy and economic development and called for a redoubled fight against ``the actions of criminals, terrorists.''

Mr. Putin did not mention Chechnya, but the attack bore the characteristics of previous suicide bombings attributed to the bloody separatist war there.

 

The pressure is on the Russians to give-in to the Russian Moslem demands. The only point of agreement that Russian pride will ever permit would be a proposal by the Moslems to leave Russia in mass to invade Israel. It is my estimation that this is exactly what is happening North of the Caucasus! The Russians are being prepared to endorse a Moslem invasion of Israel!

I look at Ezekiel 38 & 39 to a prophecy of a yet future invasion of Israel. It has Islam and Russia written all over it. All of the countries mentioned in this three pronged invasion are Islamic today with the sole exception of the Northern prong. That is until one looks very closely at what is said, and then only Islamic inclusion becomes clear.

Conservative Bible commentators have for years called this prophecy "The Coming War with Russia," but is that really what this prophecy says? I agree that the Gog from the land of Magog refers to Russia. I agree that Meshech and Tubal refer to the dual Russian Eastern and Western capitals of Moscow and Tubalsk. The question that must be asked is who is the "chief prince" who leads the invasion? This "chief prince" is connected to Mother Russia, but is not the entire Russian nation identified in other Bible prophecies as the King of the North.

I propose that the "chief prince" is none other then the Russian Moslems causing all this terrorism North of the Caucasus, and the recently break away Moslem independent nations that were until the fall of the Iron curtain part of the old USSR. They are truly the prince of the Rosh or the "chief prince" of Mother Russia. I'm convinced with the unfolding of history that "The Coming War with Russia" needs to be reevaluated, and changed to "The Last Jihad."

U.S. Takes Active Role in Choosing

Sites for Uprooting

10:44 Dec 10, '03 / 15 Kislev 5764
 

The list of Yesha (Judea and Samaria) outposts to be evacuated was compiled, partially or in full, by the United States. Arutz-7's Haggai Huberman reports in the name of "diplomatic sources" that the Bush Administration either dictated the entire list or was a partner to its compilation. It has long been known that the U.S. Embassy in Israel continually collects information, largely with the aid of Peace Now, on the various Jewish communities and outposts in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Aerial photos assist in monitoring the changes on the ground.

Following the Yesha Council leaders' meeting with Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz on Monday, the next person to meet with Mofaz was US Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer - who himself has strong ties with Peace Now.

Yesha Council sources say they now understand how the community/outpost of Migron, with 42 families, entered the "to be uprooted" list. The Americans demanded its dismantling, despite its strategic location and despite the fact that the main force behind its establishment was IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon, who served at the time as Chief Commander of the Central Command. Yaalon claimed then that if Israel did not grab that location - a high hilltop in the area of Psagot, Kokhav Yaakov, and Michmash, and overlooking the highway to Beit El, Ofrah, and the Shomron - the Arabs would claim it and Israel would lose an important point. Even Yaalon's successor in the Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Yitzchak Eitan, who was not known for his great sympathies for the Yesha settlement enterprise, once threatened that if Migron were to be removed, he would immediately establish an army base there.
 

 

It is God who brought the Jews of this generation back to the Holy Land. God always finishes what He starts. Judah and Samaria (Yesha) have always been part of the Promised Land. The task laid before the Jews at this second miraculous return is to occupy and conquer as were their task at the original entrance and also first return. The task for the gentile United States today is to stay out of God's way, and most certainly not to be putting up road blocks. I can't fathom a greater obstruction to God's revelation for the future of the Holy Land then what the Bush Administration is now engaged. It can only be attributed to a general ignorance of the Bible, and this in a White House that totes the many Bible studies going on among the staff. I can only conclude these studies are not fundamentally based, and the blind must be leading the blind! The knees should be shaking by those proposing to remove the Jews from Judah and Samaria, and the even more odious proposal that those lands be given to the heathen Islamic Arab Palestinians. Nothing could be so opposed to the coming Kingdom, the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount then what is now happening with this gentile road map for peace. Real peace in the Holy Land will come only on God's terms, and that is clearly revealed as coming only through the Prince of Peace.

The government of the world upon His shoulder is a future prophecy that never happened at His first coming. The coming Kingdom is when God intended these words be fulfilled. The present gentile governments are not going to graciously step aside for the coming King. Armageddon is the road the Bible reveals as the direction all secular gentile peace plans will go. God is in process of bringing in the Kingdom age. It is going to be upon the throne of David in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount that judgment and perfect Justice will be established forever. The perfect King of the Jews will rule from henceforth even forever!

Solidarity Sabbath In Netzarim
16:08 Dec 11, '03 / 16 Kislev 5764

1,000 people are expected to show up for a special solidarity Sabbath - planned on a few days' notice - in the central Gaza community of Netzarim.

A special solidarity Sabbath has been planned - on a few days' notice - in the central Gaza community of Netzarim. The town, with some 65 families, has been mentioned of late as a prime candidate for uprooting and dismantling, in the framework of unilateral gestures in the event that negotiations with the Palestinian Authority continue to flounder. Many hundreds of people have expressed their interest in taking part in the special Sabbath, and about 1,000 are expected show up.

Tzurit Yarchi of Netzarim talked about the Sabbath with Arutz-7 this morning:
"The purpose is to show that there is such a very large public that thinks differently [than those who talk about uprooting]. There are many who are convinced that the settlement enterprise is a manifestation of the Jewish people's desire to grasp onto its Land... The response has been simply unbelievable. When we first thought of doing this, only a few days ago, we thought, OK, we'll get a few teenagers, and they'll sleep on our couches, etc. But in fact, the response has been amazing: Dozens and hundreds of families, as well as hundreds of others, have called to ask about coming. We have used up every single spot in Netzarim to house them - classrooms, offices, etc. and so now we've started with tents... When we tell people that there's no more room left, they say, 'Nonsense, we'll just shove ourselves into some corner...' It appears as if people were just waiting for this occasion to show their solidarity with the Yesha [Judea, Samaria and Gaza] enterprise in general, and Netzarim in particular..."

A commercial for the Netzarim Sabbath was broadcast several times on Voice of Israel radio, until it was stopped today in a sudden and unexplained decision. A Yesha Council spokesman said that if the ad is not aired, the Council is likely to turn to the Supreme Court. The Court recently ruled that an infomercial for the Geneva understandings must be broadcast.

"The army is helping us with the arrangements of getting everyone here," Ms. Yarchi said, "with convoys and the like. They are just amazed at the amount of people planning to come..." She said that it won't be boring: "People don't realize that you can walk around here for a whole Shabbat... There will also be classes and discussions on the importance of building up the Land, etc."

 

The two faces of Judaism can be plainly recognized in opposition to, or of support for Netzarim. It is the old conflict of the divided Kingdom with a modern look. The old Kingdom of Northern Israel went secular after the death of King Solomon. The Kingdom of Judah though also very secular retained the spiritual roots inspired through Mosses, Joshua, and then climaxing with the great King David. It is those same spiritual roots that now drive the independent fundamental Jewish settler movement into Yesha (Judah, Samaria, and Gaza).

Netzarim started out as an Army outpost after the 1967 victory over the Arab invaders. In 1972 it became a religious Kibbutz which failed in 1984. It was then that the independent Jews started moving in, and settled the town of today. They are a mixture of professional people and farmers. The hydroponics garden that grow large amounts of Kosher vegetables is one of the success stories coming out of Netzarim. It is also noted for its many mango orchards. This relatively quiet town on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea next to the Gaza Strip is quickly becoming the center of conflict between the independent fundamental Jews, and the secular Jews. These independent fundamental Jews are small in number compared to their secular counterpart, yet they are causing great consternation throughout the whole world because of their tenacity. The more steadfast they become, the more the hate wells up among their antagonists. They have long been the victim of underhanded political moves just like that of the Voice of Israel Radio which is as liberal and secular a radio station as can be found. The conservative independent Arutz Sheva Radio Station is still off the air due to governmental intervention. The secular Jews and gentiles just hate these independent fundamental Jews with a passion.

The old Kingdom of Judah survived the Assyrian attack that brought the downfall of the much larger old Northern Israel Kingdom, and I fully expect this independent fundamental Jewish movement to survive the Sharon political government which finds political favor by working hand in hand with the gentile quartet road map planers.

 

Josh 24:32

32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

Seven Wounded, Two Seriously, in Joseph΄s Tomb Shooting Attack
12:11 Dec 12, '03 / 17 Kislev 5764

Seven Breslover Hassidim were wounded very early this morning in a terrorist shooting attack. It occurred as they were leaving the site of Joseph's Tomb in Shechem. Two of the victims - Moshe ben [son of] Esther and Nachman ben Frieda - are in serious condition or worse, and are undergoing emergency surgery in Tel HaShomer Hospital.

Shortly after 4 AM, a group of 16 Breslover worshipers departed the holy site and were about to set off for home when the shots rang out. Large army forces arrived on the scene to search for and pursue the terrorists. The wounded were evacuated by helicopter to two Tel Aviv-area hospitals.

The Al-Aqsa Brigades of Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization claimed responsibility for the attack. Islamic Jihad also issued a statement implying its involvement in the attempted murders.

Army sources were quick to note that the group did not have permission to enter the area. The Hassidim, for their part, have long maintained that Joseph's Tomb is in Israeli-controlled area, according to the terms of the Oslo Accords, and that it is the army's responsibility to ensure the safety of Jews who wish to pray there. Kol Rina News Agency reports that the army has shown willingness to arrange "visiting hours" for Jewish worshipers, but that Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz has not agreed.

The police arrested the nine Hassidim who were not wounded.
 

 

Jacob renamed Israel by God set up a number of pillars in the Holy Land during his journeys. The Bible gives testimony that some of those pillars were still standing unto this day. The day that chapter in the Bible was written. One of those pillars tradition says was still standing over which Joseph's Tomb was built. That is until the Oslo Peace Accords were established by Bill Clinton. Joseph's Tomb was to remain Jewish, but was placed under Palestinian protective care. One of the first actions of the Palestinians after the Oslo agreement went into force was to destroy that pillar with sledge hammers, and then ransack the Tomb as they vented their hate for the Jews. The world should know by now we are dealing with a depraved culture when it comes to Arafat and the Palestinian Authority. They did not just vent their animalistic anger on the Jews, but more forcefully they have vented their anger on the God of the Bible. A pillar attributed to the place where God spoke to Jacob that survived all the turmoil's of history is no longer standing unto this day because this generation of Islamic Palestinian Arabs destroyed it!

There is a viciousness of unprecedented hate that has emerged from this Palestinian society. They have become their own worst enemy. They have allowed their hate for the Jews to flow into defiant hate for the God of the Bible. Their doom is sealed. This time they decided to practice their terrorism on the wrong party. Judgment will be meted out in God's good time. The Palestinians will find themselves in the company of those who spit in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, and pulled His beard out by the roots. Such atrocities that go to the grave unrepeated  bring the perpetrators to the very depths of eternal condemnation in hell. God will not be mocked! His justice will be victorious over all the world. His righteousness will bring the only true peace this world has ever known! It is the God of the Bible; The God of Jacob and Joseph that will accomplish such a miracle. The beast will be pacified through the rod of iron of perfect holiness welded by the Coming Jewish King.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Likud Debates a Palestinian State to Save Israel

By JAMES BENNET The New York Times

JERUSALEM, Dec. 12 In this place that often seems burdened by the past, it is the future that is suddenly bearing down.

Within the Likud, the dominant right-wing party, leaders who once advocated holding every inch of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (news - web sites), and who for three years argued that Israel could make no concessions because it lacked a Palestinian peace partner, are now debating how quickly to concede how much of that territory.

The Likud is publicly grappling with a prospect long raised by Israel's left: that within a few years Arabs are likely to be the majority in Israel and its occupied territories, and that they may switch from demanding their own state to demanding the right to vote in Israel, threatening its Jewish identity.

The result is a breathtaking inversion: Though the Likud's platform opposes a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River as a threat to Israel, some members of the party say they have concluded that only the creation of such a state can save Israel as a Jewish democracy.

The debate within Likud is the most surprising development in a fall that has brought a two-month lull in the violence here and, with it, a series of official and unofficial initiatives for peace.

Terje Roed-Larsen, the United Nations (news - web sites) special envoy here, told the Security Council on Friday that peacemakers had a "narrow window of opportunity," though he called the situation "very fragile."

In Washington on Friday, the Israeli foreign minister, Silvan Shalom, sat down with Secretary of State Colin L. Powell. Mr. Shalom told reporters he hoped for a meeting "in the near future" between the Israeli and Palestinian prime ministers. Mr. Powell met Thursday with Sari Nusseibeh, a Palestinian who worked on an unofficial peace initiative.

 

The independent fundamental Jewish settlers are about to be sold-out by even the right wing politicians. They truly stand alone in a world of hate. The gentiles are pressing the secular Jewish politicians with all their might to submit to the road map. The anti-Biblical Palestinian State is the uncompromised center piece of this phony peace plan. This road map is intended to make the occupation and conquering of Yesha (Judah, Samaria, and Gaza) impossible! The Jewish settlers become the enemy of all the world. The truth is this phony road map for a gentile peace will lead only to Armageddon.

The Bible does not say Israel's future is in democracy, but rather in a Theocracy. The Jews must submit to God not democracy! There can be no separation of Church and State in Israel's future. The Bible must control all religion as well as all government. Mishpat is the Biblical future for the Jews of Israel. The union of perfect religion with perfect government all centered in a perfect Jewish King who administers everything. This is the Biblical revelation that forms perfect justice, and perfect peace. This is the perfect concept of Mishpat as revealed in the Bible. Humble men must submit to the Biblical God admitting that only He knows how to do things right, and men at their most sincere always come short of perfection. Perfect Justice is where God is heading with the coming Kingdom. It will not be democracy, but an iron rod of perfect standards that dispensational change is bringing. How wonderful to know that He who wields that rod of perfect holiness is the tender Jesus. He will not break the bruised reed, nor will He extinguish the last ember of the smoking flax. Somehow, He wields the iron rod of perfect holiness with a compassion that is hard to comprehend.

Read about Mishpat!

 

Ps 109:5-8

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Ex-Leader, Found Hiding in Hole, Is Detained Without a Fight

By EDWARD WONG
and KIRK SEMPLE

Published: December 14, 2003

 

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 14 — Saddam Hussein, the deposed Iraqi leader, was captured in a raid on a farm near Tikrit on Saturday night, American officials confirmed today.

"We got him," the American administrator, L. Paul Bremer III, declared at a news conference here.

Coalition troops discovered Mr. Hussein hiding in a hole below a walled compound on the farm, located in the town of Ad Dwar, about 10 miles from his hometown of Tikrit.

Military authorities said that although Mr. Hussein was armed with a pistol at the time of his capture, he put up no resistance and not one shot was fired in the operation.

"He was caught like a rat," Maj. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, who heads the Army's Fourth Infantry Division, told reporters.

Officials said they were able to confirm Mr. Hussein's identity using DNA tests.

President Bush said the capture of Mr. Hussein was "crucial to the rise of a free Iraq." He added: "In the history of Iraq, a dark and painful era is over."

Mr. Hussein was being held this afternoon at an undisclosed location and American authorities had yet to decide whether to hand him over to the Iraqis for trial. Iraqi officials want him to stand trial before a war crimes tribunal created last week.

Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain said that ultimately the Iraqis will determine how Mr. Hussein will be tried. "It is they who will decide his fate," he said.

Finding Mr. Hussein solved one of the great mysteries that tormented the American-led occupation force in Iraq: whether he was still alive and, if so, where he was hiding.

Defiant and unrepentant is the report of senior Iraqi officials who talked with the captured Saddam. When asked about the mass graves he said they were all thieves! It matters not how Saddam dies, but die he will. His unrepentant attitude seals his eternal future. The God of the Bible has already recorded the future scene when Saddam will face his final judgment. Sadly, Saddam will not be alone when he faces the creator. The ranks of the defiant and unrepentant will be great. Woe to all who are not written down in the Book of Life! Woe to all who defiantly reject the Lord Jesus Christ! Friend, don't seal your future with the likes of Saddam. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ today.

Read how I came to Christ: Who is DDSrail

Rev 14:3-5

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Rabbi Eliyahu΄s Chanukah Cry
15:48 Dec 15, '03 / 20 Kislev 5764
 

Former Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu will arrive tomorrow in Migron, the 42-family "outpost" threatened with imminent destruction by the government. He has made clear that if a community or an outpost that has been approved by a government level is dismantled, the nationalist camp parties must quit the government.

Rabbi Eliyahu issued a Chanukah-related call: "Whoever is for G-d, rally around me!" He said that this was the call of the Maccabees over 2,000 years ago prior to their victories over the Syrian-Greeks - victories that guaranteed the Jewish people's spiritual and national freedom and which will be commemorated next week during the holiday of Chanukah.

Rabbi Eliyahu stated:
"I am aware that the communities and outposts in Judea and Samaria were established with the approval or knowledge of the Israeli Government. The demolition of a community or the evacuation of an outpost are not an expression of sovereignty, but just the opposite: this is a surrender to foreign dictates."
"I call upon the entire public and my students: Whoever is for G-d, rally around me! - just as the Hasmoneans called at this time long ago. Come with me, by car or by foot, to every Jewish town that is threatened with dismantling, to hear a Torah lecture on the topic of 'settling the Land of Israel.' I will give the class every three hours, starting from the time that word becomes known of the intention to destroy the community - which I hope will not occur."

 

It is good to see this more conservative religious leader expressing support for the Independent fundamental Jewish settlers. It should be noted that the settlers are a mixed group. Some are religious Jews, some are secular, many are new arrivals from Russia who lost grasp of their Jewish heritage, but they are all Jewish. They are moved individually by their heart to secure Yesha because the Bible says they should. The American Reformed Jewish community which wields the most power among all the religious Jews is taking just the opposite view about the settlers then Rabbi Eliyahu. The settlers themselves have no collective allegiance to any single religious or governmental party. They remain for the most part independent, but thankful for support from wherever it may come.

I can see a spirit that would be able to denounce all the corrupted Jewish traditions that makes up the hodgepodge of modern Judaism. I see hearts that I would expect could respond to a back to the literal Bible movement among the Jews of Israel. I look to where God will turn after the rapture of all the born again Christians from the monstrous Apostate, and hypocritical Christian Church that will be left behind. These tenacious independent fundamental Jewish settlers are an intriguing possibility? They are not saved yet so they would not be raptured with all the born again Jewish Christians of today, but they sure would be available from my perspective to a call from God for the 144,000. The Bible says 12,000 from every tribe, and these settlers of Yesha are the only Jews living on the tribal inheritance of those original tribes. It's worth thinking about!

 

1 Sam 2:8-9

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

Settlers prepare for "last stand" at unauthorized Migron outpost
By Ellis Shuman  December 17, 2003

"Only someone with a mental illness could dismantle a settlement in the Land of Israel," declared Ze'ev (Zambish) Hever, a long-time settlement activist and a close friend of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. His words came at a press conference announcing preparations to resist the government's plan to dismantle the unauthorized outpost of Migron, near Ramallah. "If Migron falls, the other outposts will fall," said a settler leader.

"Transferring Jews from their land amounts to folding the flag of Zionism. Those who choose this path are mentally ill... We are calling for a struggle on the political and legal levels and on the ground," Hever said, while calling on settlers to refrain from violence.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz met last night with Binyamin Regional Council head Pinchas Wallerstein in an effort to try to find a "peaceful" way to dismantle Migron, Army Radio reported. Wallerstein had stormed out of a meeting Mofaz held last week with the Yesha Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip after Mofaz informed them that three inhabited outposts, including Migron, would soon be evacuated.

Wallerstein said that Mofaz's intention to evacuate inhabited outposts had crossed a "red line" and warned that it would lead to a "direct confrontation" between settlers and security forces.

Speaking to Arutz-7 today, Wallerstein acknowledged that the government is making serious plans to uproot Migron and its 43 families in the coming days. "Sharon and Mofaz know from experience that it will take too long to do so if they follow the normal legal process, so therefore they're trying a bypass route: using the IDF Central District Commander as the military governor, whose decisions are all but un-challengeable..."

"No reason for Migron to be dismantled"
Wallerstein said, "Migron is symbol of the desire to uproot Jews from Judea and Samaria, straight and simple. This is how we must view it. It is obvious that if Migron is to be uprooted, there is certainly no intention to allow Psagot, Ofrah, Beit El and Shiloh to remain in place, as they are even further from Jerusalem and with more Arabs around them. The destruction of Migron, Heaven forbid, is the beginning of a clear trend to take Jews out of their homes in the Land of Israel‎."

In their meeting at Migron Tuesday night, Yesha leaders made preparations to quickly bring some 5,000 supporters to the outpost at the first sign of evacuation efforts by the army. The settlers' plan also includes a major public relations campaign, and putting political pressure on the National Religious Party and the National Union to leave the government if Migron is dismantled.

"Migron was approved by Sharon, it was built on land owned by Jews, and it is important strategically, because it is on the road to Beit El and Ofra," said Yesha Council director-general Adi Mintz, quoted in the Jerusalem Post. "There's no reason for Migron to be dismantled."

Tourism Minister Benny Elon (National Union) said that he himself would come to Migron if evacuation orders are issued. "Jews must not be uprooted within their Land," he said.

The Tekuma faction in the National Union, represented by MKs Zvi Hendel and Uri Ariel, announced that it was moving its new offices to Migron instead of opening them in Jerusalem as a sign of solidarity with the small community. Party members said they see the uprooting of settlements from the Jewish Homeland as an illegal, unethical and anti-Zionist act.

"Migron looks like a settlement"
Peace Now director-general Yariv Oppenheimer said Migron is the Yamit of the West Bank, referring to the settlement in Sinai removed on Sharon's orders in return for peace with Egypt, the Jerusalem Post reported.

"If Migron is dismantled, it will prove that settlements can also be dismantled," Oppenheimer said. "Migron is called an outpost, but it looks like a settlement. If it can be removed, so can Ganim and Kadim, which are settlements but are so small that they look like outposts."

"It doesn't matter how much noise the settlers make," he added. "It can't change the fact that the public is not with them and a huge majority of Israelis want the outposts removed."
 

 

It seems clear the gauntlet has been thrown down. Migron with 42 families, and Netzarim with 65 families are the symbols chosen to demonstrate the secular government can dictate the future of the Holy Land. I have no doubts the government can bulldoze down these outposts, but these tenacious independent fundamental Jewish settlers have experienced such strong handed tactics before. They only wait until the passions die down then quietly return, and rebuild. These are their homes in the Holy Land. It matters not what man may do. They return again and again to their piece of the Promised  land. I clearly see where God's hand comes down on these settler issues. The gentile world thinks by strength of arm it can dictate the future. The secular Jews are quick to [please. The pride of the secular always fails in the end. Mankind must learn again that the hand of God can't be resisted. Neither His hand, nor His single plan for salvation centered in the Promised Land, Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount can't be turned or compromised.

The Tribe of Benjamin is represented by these 43 families from Migron. Woe to those who would defy what God has written in Revelation Chapter 14! The mighty King of Assyria found out what his pride caused when he attempted to defy the God of the Bible. God has not changed, and sadly neither has the secular world.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Sharon to Outline Plans for West Bank as Violence Continues

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: December 18, 2003

 

Filed at 8:48 a.m. ET

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Palestinian officials called on Israel to stick to an internationally backed peace plan ahead of a much-anticipated speech by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to explain his ideas about unilateral Israeli moves in the West Bank if peace talks fail.

Violence continued early Thursday when Israeli troops conducting searches killed four armed Palestinians in clashes in the West Bank city of Nablus, a military spokeswoman said. Palestinian security sources said one of the dead was an unarmed baker.

The military said one man ran toward troops with an explosive and was shot as he approached, while in a separate incident, three masked men with automatic weapons shot at soldiers from a rooftop and were killed by return fire.

Sharon began talking of undefined ``unilateral steps'' last month, indicating that he might consider moving West Bank Jewish settlements while seizing control of swaths of the West Bank.

He has said such moves would not be as generous as a negotiated settlement, but indicated that they would involve painful concessions to ensure Israel's security.

Channel 10 TV reported Sharon would send his speech to Washington before delivery Thursday at a security conference in Herzliya. Sharon will reiterate Israel's commitment to the U.S.-backed ``road map'' peace plan, an Israeli official said.

Palestinian and U.S. officials have called on Israel to stick to the ``road map,'' harshly criticizing Sharon's go-it-alone concept. They link it to the security barrier Israel is building, which would slice deep into the West Bank in several places to protect settlements.

Sharon has said the separation barrier is meant only to keep Palestinian bombers and other attackers away. But Palestinians, who claim all of the West Bank, call the barrier project a scheme to seize land.

Israel seized the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Middle East war and has since built 150 settlements in the territories, moving in about 220,000 Jewish settlers.

The Palestinians seek a state in the territories, home to roughly 3.5 million Palestinians, and the road map envisions such a state by 2005, reached through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and a peace agreement.

In the interim, Israel is required to freeze settlement activity and the Palestinians are to dismantle militant groups -- steps neither side has taken.

Palestinian peace negotiator Saeb Erekat said the Palestinians will be watching ``very closely'' Thursday night.

``We are hoping the Israeli government will prepare its people for what it takes to make peace, a meaningful peace process to end the Israeli occupation,'' he said.

``If they want to use unilateral steps, like building walls and settlements ... they may do it alone. But they will not have a partner on this side.''

 

I'm watching very closely also. I already know this generation of Palestinians has been nurtured to hate Jews unto the death. They have reached the depravity level of mindless beasts with no conscience. Their peace talking is a smokescreen intended to present a false view for the world while their revealed intent is obviously to destroy all the Jews living in Israel. Their talking of peace gives the gentile world the excuse it needs to support these known terrorists as if they were reasoning men. The gentiles can oppose the Islamic mostly Arab Taliban and ben-Laden, but at the same time give a respectful ear to the Islamic Arab Palestinians and Arafat. The gentiles can now make false distinctions between the wild beasts of the Taliban, and the wild beasts supported by the Palestinians under the guise of peace talk.

Sharon seems to have lost his fire. His works show him as an old man acquiescing to gentile demands. This is the time of Chanukah. Sharon appears more like the compromisers with the Seleucid Antiochus Epiphanies, rather then a representative of the fighting Maccabees. The coming conflict is not so much the fruit of Sharon as it is the fruit of secularism rampant throughout Judaism. The more God expresses His will for the future of the Holy Land; The greater this conflict will become. The 144,000 Jews God is preparing to be the foundation of the Jewish Kingdom will find they stand alone in the midst of a world of hate. Yet, this small number with no support, but from God, will set in motion a back to the Bible movement that will survive Armageddon!

Another Chanukah is on the horizon. Another Maacabean revolt is dawning. God will again circumcise the hearts of His chosen Jews to turn the world up-side down. The next Biblical dispensation is as sure as the coming sun rise. Friend, I hope you are not asleep during the most exciting days leading up to dispensational change?

Sharon "disengagement plan" sparks US, settler and Palestinian criticisms

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon failed to win many hearts as Washington opposed his planned unilateral peace moves, Jewish settlers in the occupied territories accused him of betrayal and Palestinians rejected his "threatening" language.

The United States "would oppose any unilateral steps that block the road towards negotiations under the roadmap that leads to the two state vision, "said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

He was reacting to Sharon's proposal to implement his own "disengagement plan" should the Palestinians not meet their commitments under the US-backed roadmap peace plan in the coming months.

US officials believe "that a settlement must be negotiated and we would oppose any Israeli effort to impose a settlement," McClellan said.

He welcomed however Sharon's stated commitment to move forward on the roadmap, an internationally-drafted plan which aims to bring about a separate Palestinian state alongside Israel in 2005.

"Unilateral steps can help the roadmap move forward if they are part of the roadmap. Israeli actions to remove outposts and settlements are part of the roadmap," Mclellan said.

Speaking at a security conference near Tel Aviv Thursday, Sharon said Israel wants "to speedily advance implementation of the roadmap towards a quiet and genuine peace.

"However if in a few months the Palestinians still continue to disregard their part in implementing the roadmap, then Israel will initiate the unilateral security step of disengagement from the Palestinians."

Israel wants Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qorei to crack down on Palestinian militant groups in order to halt attacks against Israelis.

The hawkish Sharon also said his government "will greatly accelerate" the construction of its controversial West Bank barrier to allow security forces "to remove roadblocks and ease the daily lives of the Palestinian population not involved in terror."

Washington has called the barrier's route, that often juts deep into the West Bank, a "problem," while Palestinians accuse Israel of outright land appropriation that pre-empts their future state's borders.

 

I guess from Sharon the politician this plan was intended to give a little appeasement to each of the antagonists, but in the process he also alienated everyone! The foolishness of man will never solve the problems swirling over the Holt Land. The turmoil of today is meant to channel men to the only solution that can work. That is what God has already revealed in the Bible. Dispensational change, and the ushering in of the next Jewish Kingdom age. All other attempts at a solution are destine to failure.

The rapture of all truly born again believers in Christ out of the great apostate monster called Christianity is the next prophetic event. The Bible then opens up into great detail of what will follow. The great Tribulation begins with the antichrist, Ezekiel's Temple, the Two Witnesses, the 144,000 Jews - 12,000 out of every tribal inheritance from within the Promised Land. The details are specific, and it will be undeniable that God is in control. The end is Armageddon for the vast majority of the gentiles, and the foundation of the Kingdom with the return of the King of the Jews to His chosen people.

The foolishness of man must be played out to the full so that never will there be a voice saying "what if" to second guess God's single plan in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Zech 11:15-17

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.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all,

I'll be spending Christmas week with my loving family. I'll be back with my news comments next week God willing. Thanks for your interest over the past year. I'm getting over 300 hits/day. I've received e-mail from all over the world. I thought my ministry for Christ was at an end when I retired due to poor health. I've lost most of my sight now except for a little in my right eye on the edges. It allows me to plod on with this web page. It almost seems like my ministry has just begun rather then  come to an end.

Thanks!

Merry Christmas to all!

Bush, Blair: Libya to End WMD Program

Bush, Blair: Libya Will End Its WMD Program and Allow Int'l Weapons Inspectors Into the Country
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Dec. 19 — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has admitted trying to develop weapons of mass destruction but now plans to dismantle all such programs, President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Friday.

Bush said Libya's decision which would open the country to international weapons inspectors would be "of great importance" in stopping weapons of mass destruction in a global fight against terrorism.

Britain and the United States have been talking about the issue with Libya for nine months, Blair said.

"Libya came to us in March following successful negotiations on Lockerbie to see if it could resolve its weapons of mass destruction issue in a similarly cooperative manner," Blair said in England.

At the White House, Bush said the war in Iraq and efforts to stop North Korea's nuclear program had sent a clear message to countries such as Libya that they must abandon weapons programs.

"In word and in action, we have clarified the choices left to potential adversaries," Bush said. That was an apparent reference to Iran and North Korea, two other countries that the United States contends are trying to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Without naming them, Bush added: "I hope other leaders will find an example" in Libya's action.

If Libya follows through with its commitment, Bush said, "its good faith can be returned."

U.S. intelligence agencies, in unclassified publications, say Libya has developed a nuclear infrastructure, but officials stop short of saying the country is definitely trying to develop a nuclear weapon.

Libya was probably seeking chemical weapons and dual-use items that could be used in a biological weapons program, intelligence reports say.

According to a recent unclassified report to Congress, Libya's longest-range missiles were thought to be Scud-B ballistic missiles. These have a range of 186 miles. U.S. intelligence reports suggest Libya has been seeking missiles with longer ranges.

Libya had relied heavily on foreign assistance for its weapons programs. It had already made overtures suggesting it would slow or halt its programs to improve its international standing.

The U.S. intelligence statements on Libya's alleged weapons programs suggest efforts in that country were not as advanced as Iraq's were before the U.S.-led invasion.

 

It is no little thing that Libya should be in the news at this point in history. Libya is prominently mentioned by Ezekiel in the "Last Jihad" prophecy of Ezekiel 38 & 39. Being mentioned among the Islamic Nations invading Israel from the South would lead me to believe they will be among the leadership of the Southern prong of that three pronged "Last Jihad" invasion. The news of a nuclear free Middle East may sound good at the outset, but how long will it take for the gentile nations to demand Israel disarm? Israel already has what it's Arab neighbor's are seeking. The Islamic hordes from North, East, and South could never accomplish a sneak attack while Israel possesses nuclear deterrents. What sounds so lovely at the onset may at the end open the door for a massive Islamic invasion.

I am not all that excited about this news. Iran (Persia) has already submitted to inspection meaning it's nuclear aspirations are at an end. Iran is the Islamic nation mentioned by Ezekiel as leading the Eastern prong of the "Last Jihad" invasion. I don't wonder, but that these Islamic nations already realized no invasion could ever take place as long as Israel has nuclear capabilities. They must also know that Islamic sheer numbers puts the balance in their favor if all nuclear weapons are removed from the Middle East. I have no doubt where this is going. It is to declare the Middle East a nuclear free zone. Once that is accomplished Israel would be at rest in unwalled villages as Ezekiel says they will be when the invasion takes place.

The ruthless butchers of Islam are back at work making the bargaining table their cutting board. What they could not do through lies about peaceful non-support of terrorism; They hope to accomplish through peaceful support of a nuclear free Middle East. The world should never forget that the Arab trading culture prides itself on always getting the better part of any bargain. It appears that is exactly what is happening today!

 

1 Sam 22:17-19

17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.

19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

Ginot Aryeh Replaces Migron on the Chopping Block
18:49 Dec 29, '03 / 4 Tevet 5764

he Prime Minister and Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz agreed yesterday to uproot four Yesha outposts in the coming days, including a populated one in Ofrah. The latter, Ginot Aryeh, is a neighborhood that was established in memory of Ofrah resident Aryeh Hershkovitz, who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists in January 2001. Three months later, his son Assaf was similarly murdered; the small outpost community of Givat Assaf, on the turnoff between Beit El and Ofrah, is in his memory.

The four outposts slated for uprooting are:
* Chazon David near Kiryat Arba, which comprises two large shipping containers;
* Bat Ayin West West, in Gush Etzion, with two sheds;
* the Shaked Farm, near Yitzhar in central Shomron, with a chicken coop and a shed;
* and the Ofrah neighborhood of Ginot Aryeh, with ten families.

No struggle is expected over the first three, but Ginot Aryeh might be a different story. Officials in Ofrah say that the neighborhood has received unofficial recognition from various government bodies, and that it is unfair to call it "illegal."

The extreme left-wing organization Peace Now is not happy with the decision to remove Migron from the list of outposts to be uprooted. Peace Now claims that this is a way to "launder" the 43-family community, which is situated five miles north of Jerusalem, and retroactively legalize it. Six various government ministries have funded Migron during the four years of its existence

The governments of Israel have a very bad track record with the Bible. It has more often been man centered rather then God centered. The perverted priest problem within the Roman Catholic Church exemplifies the problem within religion whenever man centeredness outweighs the clear teaching of the Bible. The end result is always apostasy! It has been through the Jews that mankind has received the Old Testament. The New Testament would be meaningless without the Old Testament to build upon. The Jews are blind to the completion of their own prophets writings as revealed to them from the one Almighty God of all creation. God is about to remove that blindness, but it will not be every Jew who will respond at that first starting moment. Many Jews will have to go through terrible tribulation before they respond to the light. That tribulation will be forced upon them because of their resistance to the light of the entire Bible. The next Biblical dispensation is not that of the Roman Catholic Kingdom, or the Protestant Covenant Theology Kingdom; It will be the Jewish Kingdom just as the literal Bible has always said. Substitution theology supported by most Christians is a lie. Christianity will never replace Judaism, but Judaism will come out of blindness replacing apostate Christianity after the rapture takes place! It will be this enlightened and redeemed Jewish community living in the Holy Land that will make Jerusalem their single capital, and will build Ezekiel's Temple on the Temple Mount.

The resistance to this Biblical plan will bring about great tribulation not only to the secular Jews who remain in their blindness, but to the entire gentile world. All who resist the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as King of the Jews will face great tribulation. All who resist the return of the Jews to the Holy Land will face great tribulation. The present Jewish government is putting itself on the wrong side of the Bible. This attempt to compromise with the gentile road map plan puts the whole world in danger of going into great tribulation. Only the sacrificial blood placed upon the Jewish altar of Ezekiel's Temple will be an acceptable remembrance of Calvary in the next dispensation! Christ is the only answer to the universal problem of forgiveness from sin!

 

Lev 25:45-46

45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

A Unique Reaction to the Reported Yesha Population Growth
13:50 Dec 30, '03 / 5 Tevet 5764
 

(IsraelNN.com) The Labor opposition party this morning filed a no-confidence motion following the publication of the Yesha population growth statistics, indicating Yesha (Judea, Samaria & Gaza) communities on the average are growing at three times the rate of the Negev and Galilee.

Senior Labor legislator Dalia Itzik explained the party remains opposed to the Yesha population growth and insists the government does not have the right to allocate budgets and services that serve to encourage citizens to move to Yesha communities.

Palestinians critical of Israeli order on outposts

The Palestinian Authority has criticized Israel's decision to remove four unauthorised settlement outposts, saying the move was a publicity stunt that falls below the requirements of a US-backed peace "road map".

"I think the world is sick and tired of these public relations stunts - Israelis moving a caravan here and a caravan there," Palestinian Negotiating Minister Saeb Erekat told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Two members of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's cabinet said the Israeli government was moving too slowly in carrying out a commitment to remove dozens of unauthorised settlement outposts from occupied territory.

The ministers spoke on Israel Radio after Mr Sharon signed an order to accelerate the removal of the four outposts - only one of them inhabited - in accordance with the road map.

A senior adviser to Mr Sharon said more would be dismantled in the future but gave no date.

 

 

It should be very clear the independent fundamental Jewish settlement phenomenon is irreversible. Even if the present secular government of Israel committed political suicide by outlawing all expansion into Yesha, it would never satisfy the Palestinians who only want Jewish genocide throughout all of the Holy Land. I'm convinced this settlement movement is beyond governmental control. When 3/4 of all Jews moving into new housing are choosing to go into harms way, it can only be a movement motivated by the heart. Jewish families are moving into the center of the vicious Palestinian controlled areas, and miraculously surviving. Not only are they surviving, but they are thriving! Imagine American families moving into the mountainous regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan? Imagine the American government trying to stop the Westward expansion of our past? It just could not be done, and this settler movement likewise can not be stopped!

Today's independent fundamental Jewish settler movement is nothing short of what Joshua did at the first entrance of the Jews into the Holy Land, or what Ezra did at the fist return of the Jews. This Third entrance, and second return of the Jews is as important to the Biblical plan of God as were the others. Mankind has waited a long time for the direct intervention of God into the affairs of the world. That time is now. Biblical dispensational change is what God is preparing in the Holy Land. Mankind must either submit, or face judgment.
