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!

12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

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 dem
