Ezek 36:26

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Condemning the Sentences for "Arutz-7 Ten"
16:38 Dec 31, '03 / 6 Tevet 5764
 

The "Professors for a Strong Israel" organization states that the sentences meted out to the Arutz-7 Ten earlier this week for operating an unlicensed radio station have already been served. "Their sentences of community service have already been served many times over," states Chairman Dr. Ron Breiman. "For many years, the station broadcast courageously the news and views that were suppressed by the 'state' media in Israel. The station's absence from the airwaves in the past few months has left the majority of the citizens without an organ that reflects their opinions." The organization called upon the Prime Minister and the government to "press forward with legislation to enable Arutz-7 to return to its essential function, serving the entire public in the interest of free speech and democracy."

The importance of Arutz-7's independent approach was acutely noted precisely on the eve of the sentencing of the Arutz-7 broadcasters. The Voice of Israel news reports of Sunday evening stated, "Most of the defendants are likely to receive sentences of four years in prison and three million shekels in fines, and station director Yaakov Katz is likely to be sentenced to seven years in prison." Arutz-7 sources, in a protest letter to Voice of Israel, wrote,
"Did the news editors that evening, Aryeh Shorr and Orah Herman, get to see the judge's decision before it was publicized? It is obvious that the wording should have been more cautious, such as, 'The maximum sentence for these infractions is...' or, 'the prosecution has asked for sentences of...' The way the news was formulated was a prophecy that wished to fulfill itself. The Prosecution did not even ask for such severe sentences! Broadcasting such an item harmed the professional image of Voice of Israel, and confirmed listeners' suspicions regarding its political slant."

Arutz-7's Programming Director Shulamit Melamed, who was sentenced to three months of community service and a fine of 25,000 shekels, says that the collective sigh of relief at the "light" sentences she and her colleagues received is not justified. "It reminds me of the story of the rabbi and the goat," she said. "A poor man complained that his house was too small, so the rabbi suggested that he bring his goat inside as well, followed by the rest of his livestock. When the man complained again even more plaintively, the rabbi told him to take out the animals - and the poor man then 'realized' how spacey his house suddenly was. Here too, the only reason why we are relieved is because the Prosecution asked for such severe sentences - actual jail time for four of us, and fines of hundreds of thousands of shekels each. The fact that we must perform 'only' community service and pay fines of 'only' tens of thousands of shekels each - for a total of 720,000 shekels - is no reason for joy. Such harsh sentences for people with no criminal past and who were convicted on such minor issues is unheard of."

Americans For a Safe Israel issued a statement against the sentence: "It is intolerable that in a so-called democracy, fines of hundreds of thousands of shekels, and many months of community service, should have been leveled against people providing a beneficial service to hundreds of thousands of radio listeners eager to hear unbiased news coverage."
 

 

This new year in Israel starts where the last left off with the clear liberal persecution of the conservative voices that tenaciously continue to speak out for submission to the Bible rather then the perverted views of men. Arutz-7 continues on the internet proclaiming themselves the only independent voice coming out of the Holy Land. Israel National Radio will probably be relegated to internet broadcasting only, but they are there for any interested in a voice for the independent fundamental Jewish settler movement. These are not saved Jews, but I feel they are good candidates as first responders when God removes the blindness that now plagues the Jewish people. The Messianic Jews of today must be raptured with the true Christian Church for proper doctrine to be maintained, but after the rapture the dispensation of the Church age ends. When the Church age ends so does the doctrine of the Christian Church. The Jewish Kingdom is the next Biblical dispensation, and Biblical doctrine of that dispensation will be as different as the doctrinal changes that took place when the New Testament fulfilled the promises made in (and limited within) the Old.

The Bible is clear that it is complete. There will never be a Newer Testament added to what is already written. The next dispensation must be regulated by what is already revealed. It will not be an extension of the Church otherwise there would be no need for a dispensational change. The Bible makes it clear the next dispensation will be centered in the literal Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Jewish Temple! It is Old Testament Judaism through and through! It will not be some revisionist Christian view of Judaism, but rather what God always intended Judaism to be as revealed in the Bible. It will not be a democracy, but rather a monarchy ruled over by a Jewish King - their Messiah! The conservative Jews say they are ready to submit to His rule when He is revealed. What a surprise that will be when it is revealed that He is the Biblical Christ! He will not be the Christ of apostate Christianity, but the Christ of the "born again" Christians raptured out of apostasy.

The time is right for preparation of a new Jewish foundation for a Biblical Judaism. I don't think the Israeli government is prepared for such a miracle change of heart, but I do have expectations for these independent Jews who are standing fast against the entire world. I watch with great expectation.

Students Hoping to Lead Aliyah Revolution
16:47 Jan 01, '04 / 7 Tevet 5764
 

Almost 1,000 Jewish student leaders from all over the world met in Jerusalem this week for the three-day Global Jewish Student Leadership Summit. The students underwent seminars to combat increasing anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment on campus, and discussed ways of strengthening their bonds with Israel and the Jewish people, as well as their responsibilities for the future.

The summit was organized by the Jewish Agency, Minister Natan Sharansky's Office for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs, World Union of Jewish Students, Hillel, and The Israel on Campus Coalition, in cooperation with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and others.

Avraham Infeld, interim President of Hillel Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, said that his organization is now represented in Israel with close to 2,600 students from abroad:
"In addition to 2,200 students on Birthright, we have close to 400 students at this conference on four different tracks: one is for charity works such as visiting hospitals and old-age homes and distributing food; the second is an Israel advocacy group, in coordination with AIPAC; one deals with pluralism - joint Torah study for Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews, with the goal of forming such groups when they return to their campuses; and the last is a group of students looking into hi-tech possibilities in Israel."

Arutz-7's Yishai Fleisher asked, "Are we nearing any type of Aliyah revolution amongst Jewish students?" Mr. Infeld pondered and answered,
"I don't think so. The problem is that nothing is pushing North American Jewry to leave, and not enough is pulling them from Israel to come either... I'm worried about several things in Israel: the lack of unity, the politicization of every issue, and we have a very large party [Shinui] in the Knesset that forgets that Israel was created as a Jewish state. I didn't come to live in just another country in the Middle East; I came to live in a Jewish state! I'm willing to accept a variety of different interpretations as to what that means - but not one that [neutralizes Israel's Jewish character]. Our right to exist is only as a Jewish state! I don't agree with you politically, but we argue about these issues as Jews, from the Jewish point of view. Until this message of Jewish commitment and ideology comes out, we won't draw Aliyah...."

Scott Dubin, a student at New York University, expressed an equally Jewish point of view, but was more optimistic:
"We're here to learn about various programs in Israel, to train ourselves to help more and more Jewish students come to Israel - first on one-year programs, and then to be able to make Aliyah and make an amazing Jewish life here." He spoke of the "elation" he feels as a Jew "taking part in the fantastic return of the Jewish People to its home after 2,000 years of dispersion." One thing we're going to see, Dubin predicted, "is Zionist students from the Diaspora leading the Aliyah revolution - and Israel is going to be soon turned into a place that simply loves itself."

 

Why this insignificant news item? It indicates the Aliyah (return of Jews to the Holy Land) is not finished yet. It also shows the Biblical desire within the hearts of these young students. They recognize the failure of man centered politics, but have visionary expectations that God has His hand on what is happening in Israel today. They see the failure of men, but remain confident that through the God of their fathers there is a great Jewish victory coming.

My expectations come in the form of what the Bible says about the 144,000 Jews God will call to set a Biblical foundation for the Judaism that will function throughout the Millennial Kingdom. The foundation builders  will all be virgins! I don't watch the old married men of Israel locked into their twisted traditions, but the young! I watch for 12,000 from every tribal inheritance living on the Land God gave to them. I look for young men who keep themselves pure. The Bible says the world will hate their purity and righteous living.

True holiness will again return to the Holy Land. The standards lost by the Christian Church through its unions with the apostates who will be left behind will find renewal among these young Jews. I'm sure the phony TV revivals within the apostate Church will continue into the Great Tribulation, but real holiness will expose the difference.

This holiness starts only when God circumcises the hearts of these chosen Jews, but the preparation for that circumcision may well be part of today's news. The year 2004 is starting with great expectations for those who can awaken their understanding of God's Biblical plan for the Holy Land. It is not the gentile road map, but dispensational change that will end the times of the gentiles. Holiness is what is coming with the Jewish Kingdom. The Lord Jesus Christ will set the Biblical standard that will rule this planet for the next 1000 years.

Please note the Bible says an angel proclaims the everlasting gospel, and that proclaiming does not seem to be the primary function for these 144,000 Jews. I suspect their primary function will be to build Ezekiel's Temple under the direct supervision of the Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11. I think they will establish acceptable, proper, kosher, Holy, Jewish, worship in the next (the last) Holy Jewish Temple! They will not go out as Christian evangelists, but stay centered in Israel waiting for men to come to them. Their Temple will be the only place on planet earth (as it was in the Old Testament) where Biblical worship of God can be preformed. These sealed Jews will flee Jerusalem for the wilderness at 3-1/2 years into the Great Tribulation as God provides them protection from the antichrist, but they return at the end of the Great Tribulation cleansing their Temple in preparation for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Matt 7:21-23

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Pat Robertson: God told him it's Bush in a 'blowout'

By SONJA BARISIC
Associated Press Writer

January 2 2004

NORFOLK, Va. -- Pat Robertson said Friday that God told him President Bush will be re-elected in a landslide.

"I think George Bush is going to win in a walk," the religious broadcaster said on his "700 Club" program on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded.

"I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way," Robertson said.

"The Lord has just blessed him," Robertson said of Bush. "I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him."

Earlier on the program, Robertson had explained that he wanted to share "some of the things that I believe the Lord was showing me as I spent several days in prayer at the end of 2003."

Robertson also said that this year will be one of "extraordinary prosperity" and that God will bless China in 2004 "in a way it's never known before."

"God loves China and he loves the Chinese people," Robertson said. "I believe there's going to be an unbelievable spiritual revival taking place in China this year."

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, a frequent Robertson critic and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said he had a prediction of his own.

"I predict that Pat Robertson in 2004 will continue to use his multimillion broadcasting empire to promote George Bush and other Republican candidates," Lynn said in a statement. "Maybe Pat got a message from (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove and thought it was from God."

A Robertson spokeswoman did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
 

 

I don't believe God would stoop to giving mankind through Robertson such a meaningless message. I think Pat Robertson filled with pride really believes God talks to him. It is Biblically designated as divine revelation. It means what God says to Pat Robertson is of the same equality as the eternal never changing word of God - the Bible!

Self diluted characters such as Robertson have long been part of Church history. What makes him different is that in the past these characters only influenced their cultic followers. Today, Robertson is accepted as a valid voice of main stream Christian leadership. The modern Evangelical thinks nothing upon hearing such utter nonsense in the news. They are calloused to such claims after a generation of listening to phony signs and miracles being attributed to the God of the Bible. This pompous Evangelical Church of today mostlyagrees to the prosperity message of Robertson thinking God owes them for their efforts in getting out the gospel message. They have given Robertson his personal multi-millions to do the job. They have paid the expensive cost of TV evangelism. They have paid for the distribution of the Jesus film. They pay and pay for whatever their leadership says is needed. They have paid for it all, and they have bathed their efforts in prayer. Now, they expect God to show His gratitude by blessing them.

Robertson brags of his start from the back of an old station wagon. The thinking is if God materially blessed him, then that same God is obligated to materially bless me. Gone are the days of the sacrificing missionary who gained nothing for his efforts but the satisfaction of serving his Savior. Main stream Christianity has changed, and with the increase of riches has lost sight of the true gospel. It is time for dispensational change!

 

The fast of the Tenth of Tevet falls on this Sunday,

January 4, 2004, from daybreak to nightfall

In Jewish consciousness, a fast day is a time of reckoning, a time to correct a previous mistake. What happened on the Tenth of Tevet that we have to correct?

On the Tenth of Tevet, 2,500 years ago, Nebuchadnezzar began his siege of Jerusalem. Actually, there was little damage on that first day and no Jews were killed. So why is this day so tragic? Because the siege was a message, to get the Jewish people to wake up and fix their problems. They failed, and the siege led to the destruction of the King Solomon's Temple.

Today we are also under siege. Much of the Jewish world is ignorant of our precious heritage. Children whose Jewish education ended at age 13 now carry that perception through adulthood. The results are catastrophic: assimilation in the diaspora, and a blurring of our national goals in Israel.

Ezek 38:8

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Meteorite hits Iran
Fri January 02, 2004 10:48 AM ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - A meteorite has hit northern Iran causing minor damage to property but there were no immediate reports of casualties, state radio has said.

It said the impact sent locals in panic onto the streets in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.

"A meteorite which hit Babol on Friday morning caused only some minor damage to residential units," radio said, without giving further details or citing any source.

It said the impact was felt up to one kilometre away.

Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

 

One of the largest meteor strikes in modern history strikes Iran just one week after an earthquake levels one of its oldest (2000 years old) cities is not coincidence! The secular news media will never question what should be the biggest news event in recent history indicating God is doing something in the Middle East, but I will!

The Bible is clear Iran representing old Persia will have a roll in the ending of this present dispensation. Islamic Iran is the Eastern prong of a three pronged Islamic invasion of Israel in the "latter years" as Ezekiel already revealed. It is clear to me God is indicating those years are upon us, and only apathy and ignorance is the response to what should bring the  fear of God upon all mankind! This is only the first salvo of fire and brimstone that no computer age technology can predict or stop.

Pompous men are about to experience the awesome power the God of the Bible can muster when He decides the time is right to force His will upon His creation. Resistance will be futile! Men must either submit or perish! There can never be compromise with perfect holiness. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming again as King of His Jewish Kingdom. He is going to return to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and Ezekiel's Temple! He is about to fulfill His promise to be the King of kings, and LORD of Lords! Mankind with all their recent technological advancements are absolutely helpless in the face of such power as is coming to planet earth. This God can pull the ground out from under the feet, and rain down fire and brimstone from the heavens. Just look what He is about to do to the Islamic Iranians who defiantly invade His Holy Land!

 

Ezek 44:4

4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.

Sharon and Mofaz Swoop Down on Two More Outposts
12:56 Jan 04, '04 / 10 Tevet 5764
 

Prime Minister Sharon and Defense Minister Mofaz signed an order this morning for the dismantling of two more outposts, including the expulsion of their residents, and are preparing to act against Tapuach West as well.

Two more blows have been struck in the developing "war" between the Israeli government and the Jewish settlement enterprise in Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza). Prime Minister Sharon and Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz signed an order this morning for the dismantling of two more outposts, including the expulsion of their residents, and are preparing to act against Tapuach West as well. One of the two immediately threatened locations is the Maon Farm, south of Hevron, where seven families live in a wooded area adjacent to the recognized community of Maon. Then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered the army to destroy the farm and expel its three families in November 1999, but it has since been rebuilt. The original founder, Dov Dribben, was murdered there by Arabs in 1998.

The second outpost whose destruction was decided upon today by Sharon and Mofaz is Tal Binyamin, adjacent to Ofrah, named for Binyamin Kahane and his wife Talia. The two were murdered four years ago outside Ofrah as they were driving home to Tapuach, and left six orphans. An institute for the study of Jewish Law operates in Tal Binyamin, though no one lives there.

In light of a query by Justice Minister Lapid of Shinui, Sharon instructed Mofaz to take quick action against an unauthorized outpost in Tapuach as well.

The Yesha Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza announced that it would act against the destruction of the outposts with all the legal and political tools in its power. A petition by "Professors for a Strong Israel" against the actions will be heard in the Supreme Court tomorrow. Rabbi Avi Gisser of Ofrah said this morning that all he asks of the government is to "act within the law, and not use all sorts of political procedures to bypass the legitimate civil rights of those who the government wishes to expel from their homes."

 

Everything, and I mean everything that will be taking place during the next dispensation will be centered within this one small area that the Tenth of Tevet march encircles. This will be where the Lord Jesus Christ will dwell for the next thousand years. It will be the only place on earth where the glory of God will physically be manifested for the benefit of mankind. Ezekiel confirms that the Shecaniah Glory will again come to a Jewish Temple (Ezekiel 40 - 48) yet to be constructed upon the Temple Mount. That same glory that first protected and guided the Jewish people through the wilderness. That same glory that filled both the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and then the permanent place of Solomon's First Jewish Temple will be coming again! The Second Jewish Temple has no record of that glory being manifested. The last record is that of the First Temple when it lifted up off the Ark of the Covenant, went out the door to the Mount of Olives, and then up to heaven.

The Second Temple was not without glory, but it was glory of a different sort. The LORD of hosts promised the builders through the prophet Haggai that it would have a glory all its own.

Hag 2:7

7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
KJV
 

On the Mount of Transfiguration that glory was revealed as an attribute of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to return in the same manner as He left this world from the Mount of olives. The only mount East of the Temple Mount. He will return to the Mount of Olives, and travel across the Kidron Valley to the East gate of the Temple. He will then enter the yet to be constructed Ezekiel Jewish Temple!

The struggle within Judaism is clear. The Land and the Temple Mount must be conquered! The independent fundamental Jewish settlers defy the animalistic Islamic Palestinians. They defy their own secular government. They deify the entire gentile world, and the phony toad map peace plan. The only thing they do not defy is what the God of the Bible says must happen for dispensational change to take place. I watch with great anticipation.

What the PA Appointed Mufti Really Feels about Jerusalem’s Holy Sites
17:45 Jan 05, '04 / 11 Tevet 5764
 

(IsraelNN.com) The following unedited excerpt was obtained from IslamOnline.net. It clearly shows that the Islamic Wakf Authority sees the Kotel (Western Wall) as the property of Islam along with the Temple Mount, site of the holy Temples. Parenthesis inserted by ‘INN”.

"I warn against taking such a transgression on the Islamic holy place, and call on Muslims – governments and people – to heed this dangerous situation," Ikrima Sabri, Mufti of occupied Jerusalem, told IslamOnline.net. "Al-Aqsa mosque and its surroundings, including Buraq (Kotel/Western) Wall, is a Muslim legitimate right", he averred.

 

I've never heard of a single Moslem ever going to the Kotel or Western Wall to do anything other then throw garbage there. Before the 1967 Six Day War the Western Wall was a garbage dump when under Islamic control. Jews were forbidden to worship at their traditional holiest site. The Moslems do not want this site for worship, but only to make it a garbage dump once more. Be not deceived about what this present generation of Islam would do if they could. The Taliban destroyed the Buddhist Idols, and the Islamic Palestinians would not only destroy all Jewish traces in the Holy Land, but all Christian sites as well were they not restrained. Imagine an only Moslem Holy Land? This is the only way the great lie of Islam could ever claim credibility. It would be by destroying all truth leaving only the Islamic lie! Be not deceived of what this present generation of Islam would do to the Holy Land were they able!

Islam has done its best to do exactly this on the Temple Mount. Jewish pressure is the only force keeping Islam from turning that place into an exclusively Moslem only site. The real battle behind the scenes is whether Islam will succeed in destroying all evidence that the Bible is true. The real battle is between Islam, and the God of the Bible. The end of that battle is already recorded in the Bible. Ezekiel 38 & 39 records the "Last Jihad" effort by Islam to take total control of the Holy Land, and destroy all evidence of truth so only their lie is left. It will not work!

The Bible already declares it will have the final victory over the Holy Land. Islam and the Koran are destine for the dung heap of history where the other heathen nations and cultures of the past are nothing but infamous memories. Only the Biblical plan of the coming Kingdom will be victorious after this present battle for the Holy Land ends.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done"

 

Ps 69:35-36

Government Prepares To Uproot 28 More Outposts
17:47 Jan 06, '04 / 12 Tevet 5764
 

It was learned today that the Defense Ministry has prepared a list of no fewer than 28 established and populated outposts that it plans to uproot and destroy, and whose residents it plans to expel.

The broad smiles in the Yesha Council in response to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that removed the carpet from under the government orders to uproot several populated outposts - at least temporarily - have been replaced by frowns of consternation.

It was learned today that the Defense Ministry has prepared a list of no fewer than 28 established and populated outposts that it plans to uproot and destroy, and whose residents it plans to expel. The list includes locations such as Migron, Mitzpeh Yitzhar, Nofei Nechemiah, Givat Assaf, Gilad Farm, Maaleh Rehavam, Nvei Daniel North, Givat Avigayil, and Asael.

Is Sharon Declaring War on Yesha?
18:29 Jan 06, '04 / 12 Tevet 5764
 

(IsraelNN.com) Defense Ministry officials have instructed the IDF to verify the legality of many Yesha (Judea, Samaria & Gaza) communities, apparently increasing efforts to uproot yishuvim in addition to the “unauthorized outposts”.

The first two names to appear on the list are Neguhot, a small community in the Hevron Hills, and Palgei Mayim, a neighborhood in the Shomron community of Eli, located in the Gush Shilo area of the Benjamin Regional Council district.

Neguhot began in 1982 as an army Nahal outpost while Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was serving as defense minister. In 1998, Sharon in his capacity as national infrastructure minister converted it into a civilian community.

The Palgei Mayim neighborhood of Eli began as an unauthorized outpost that was removed by the army. Repeated attempts to resettle the hill were eventually successful and last year, ten permanent homes were constructed in the area with funding from government agencies, alongside over 20 caravans. There are over 30 families living in the neighborhood of Eli, now about 500 families.

The IDF’s Civil Administration has also been instructed to verify the legal status of Givat Salit, a ten caravan community in the Jordan Valley region, as well as Tekoa Daled, in the eastern Gush Etzion district.

Deputy Defense Minister Ze’ev Boim confirmed that the army has been instructed to verify the legality of many communities, varying in size and age, but he was unwilling to list names.
 

 

There is much discussion in Israel over what Ariel Sharon is up to? Some think he is being sly. Others think he is folding to the pressure of his antagonists, and still others think he just lost his mind? Time will tell what is the truth, but this latest move against the independent fundamental Jewish settlers is sparking thoughts of a civil war brewing among the Jews. It would not be the first time independent Jews resisted governmental intrusion. The Bible is full of clashes of Jews against Jews. Jewish history records a divided Kingdom that lasted from the end of King Solomon's reign to the Assyrian victory, and absorption of the Northern Kingdom. The issue throughout that era was over the compromise of Biblical Judaism with gentile paganism. The Northern Kingdom of Israel compromised all the way through its history. The Southern Kingdom of Judah compromised as well, but when necessary would repent from their sin turning back to the Bible. They would cleanse the Temple which only they had, and re-establish kosher worship which included blood sacrifice for sin.

God is already on record that He will not tolerate a divide Kingdom again. Judaism must be united when the Kingdom comes. The conflict between secular, and Biblical Jews will continue throughout the Great Tribulation. Terrible men will raise themselves up into leadership over the secular Jews. They will all fail in their attempts to secularize the coming Kingdom. All attempts to compromise the holiness of God will fail. Biblical Judaism will rule in purity and righteousness. Never again will foolish shepherds lead the flock when this coming Kingdom struggles into existence. Perfect government will come together with perfect religion, and the two will become one at Ezekiel's Temple (read Mishpat). The centerpiece of Torah. The book of Leviticus will  again be the focus of Biblical Judaism at the altar of the last Jewish Temple yet to be constructed on the Temple Mount. Blood sacrifice will again be accepted, but at this Temple it will be in remembrance of Calvary. Biblical Judaism will never be divided in this last coming Kingdom. God will accomplish the victory where man through the weakness of sin has continually failed. The price of victory has been paid. What men tried to make of little value, God is about to demonstrate has value beyond comprehension.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done"

 

Dan 9:27

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

No Freedom of Worship for Jews in Jerusalem
16:49 Jan 07, '04 / 13 Tevet 5764
 

(IsraelNN.com) An Israeli who ascended to the Temple Mount with a group of visitors this morning was arrested after prostrating himself in prayer.

After being spotted trying to pray on the holy site by a member of the Islamic Wakf Authority, the Wakf agent summoned police who dragged him out of the area and placed him under arrest for attempting to pray.

Acquiescing to Muslim demands, Israel Police does not permit prayer on the Mount other than that of Muslims.

The Temple Mount is the holiest site to the Jewish people, home of the First and Second Temples. While many leading rabbinical authorities permit Jews to visit the Mount after a ritual bath, there are leading Torah authorities that forbid visiting the site for fear of transgressing laws dealing with areas that are forbidden due to our state of ritual impurity.

 

The battle over the settlement of Yesha is complimented by this battle over sovereignty of the Temple Mount. These are all independent fundamental Jews responding to what their heart directs as a result of their understanding of the Old Testament. They do not belong to any one political party. They do not have strategy planning meetings. They act as individuals, but together are bringing Bible prophesy into fulfillment.

Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount is only the beginning. The end must be the bulldozing of all Islamic shrines, and the construction of Ezekiel's Temple. That Temple must be in kosher operation by the mid-point of the Great Tribulation for the antichrist to stop what will be acceptable blood sacrifice when he usurps God's authority claiming himself to be the Messiah for whom this Temple will be built. What is happening today on the Mount is the beginnings of the end of Islamic control not only over the Temple Mount, but the entire Holy Land. 1967 was a critical year in the history of this third miraculous occupation and conquest by the Jews of the Promised Land. That was the year when the Temple Mount as a result of the Six Day War came under Jewish sovereignty. For the first time in 2000 years the literal fulfillment of prophecy connected to dispensational change centered in Ezekiel's Temple became a reality. Almost 40 years have now past with no action on the part of the Jews to do anything with their new found sovereignty. The fact is the secular governments actually treat the Mount as a hot potato. The present government policy even forbids Jews from praying on this most holy site. All this must change, and these tenacious independent Jews are rocking the boat. I'm convinced we are witnessing the beginning of the end. I'm confident enough to boldly proclaim the Kingdom is at hand! Don't sell the family farm on my speculations, but do get excited as the potential for Biblical dispensational change becomes real. The occupation has been provided by the Biblical God of providence. Now, individual Jews motivated by the Bible must complete the conquest!

 

Jer 2:5-6

5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?

Sharon Bends To US Demands
22:14 Jan 08, '04 / 14 Tevet 5764
 

Reports continue to surface that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's diplomatic policies are being run more in tandem with American dictates than with Israeli Cabinet decisions. Middle East Newsline (MENL) reports today that Sharon pledged to the United States that he would help establish an interim Palestinian state in 2004, regardless of whether the Palestinian Authority ends terrorism and eliminates terrorist infrastructures.

Anonymous Israeli officials quoted by MENL said that Sharon relayed this commitment to President Bush in late 2003. Sharon agreed, the report states, to a U.S. demand that the Road Map be implemented over the next year - even if the PA does not fulfill its commitment to fight Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others.

As Arutz-7 reported earlier this week, this flies in the face of an Israeli Cabinet decision that makes Road Map implementation contingent upon the PA's fulfillment of its own obligations. On May 25, 2003, the Israeli Government approved the Road Map, but attached 14 reservations - Sharon called them at the time "red lines beyond which we cannot and will not withdraw" - stating clearly that Israel will not proceed with the Road Map unless the PA fulfills its obligations. The 14 points state that "there must be no terrorism during the process," that the PA must "dismantle the existing security organizations," and that "full performance will be a condition for progress between phases and for progress within phases."

Deputy Defense Minister Ze'ev Boim unabashedly told Arutz-7 earlier this week that the reason Sharon is bent on destroying Yesha outposts even as terrorism continues is because of the agreement with the U.S.: "The Americans said clearly that within the first phase of the Road Map, the sides were to fulfill their commitments in parallel, with our obligations not dependent on whether the PA fulfilled its obligations. So we have to do this in order to fulfill our commitment to the Americans."

 

This is not the first time Israel has bowed to gentile pressure. The Biblical past has proven such moves as always opposed by God, and harmful to the Jews. The issue at this second miraculous return of the Jews to the Holy Land is the same issue as always faced the Jewish people throughout history. Are they going to put their trust and faith in the God of their fathers, or their own wits of survival in a hostel gentile dominated world? This time the coming Kingdom is on the line.

Not all Jews agree that the Road Map that would form forever an Islamic heathen Palestinian State right in the midst of the Holy Land is the right thing to do. The opposition is not the majority, but rarely has the majority agreed with God.

The issue today is where will Israel place its confidence? Gentile America may have the appearance of friendly, but political friendships  can change quickly. Blood always proves stronger then water, and America will side with its gentile brothers at the end. God is in the process of turning this world ypside-down. The times of the gentiles is coming to an end, and the Jewish Kingdom is about to be ushered in. God's Biblical plan is centered in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. All gentile interfearance with this plan is doomed to fail!

 

Deut 9:4
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
KJV
 

 

*LATEST NEWS*- HUMANITARIAN ARMS

 

Accusing Syria of calling for renewed peace talks while arming Hizb’Allah with some 11,000 missiles to fight a proxy war from Lebanon, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Thursday that he will not negotiate peace with Damascus while Syria is actively waging war against Israel, according to The Jerusalem Post.

 

Sharon’s comments coincided with a report aired by Channel 1 television that airplanes laden with humanitarian relief sent to Iran following the recent devastating earthquake in Bam returned to Damascus filled with weapons for Hizb’Allah guerrillas in Lebanon. Defense Ministry officials confirmed the report and said it was a cynical use of humanitarian aid.

 

In Washington, US officials remain skeptical of Syrian intentions in offering to re-start talks with Israel, and are leaving the matter to Jerusalem’s discretion. Punitive US legislation, designed to impose stiff sanctions on Damascus for their ongoing support of terrorist activity throughout the Middle East, is thought to be isolating Syrian President Bashar Assad and talks with Israel are seen as a means by which he can relieve some of the growing American pressure.

 

 

The world was filled with compassion for the tragedy that tool place at Bam, but for the Islamists it was just another underhanded opportunity to ship death for the Jews of the Holy Land. I can't stress enough that when God acts in Judgment against Islam, it will not be because the Jews, or any other nation are so good. It will be because Islam has sunk so deeply into depravity. The God of the Bible does not see Biblical righteousness in this sin filled world. It is all wickedness, but some wickedness can reach the very depths of depravity. The historical record for this generation of Islam has achieved such depravity in my estimation. The proof will be the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39.

I do not see a difference between the attitude of God at the first entrance of the Jews into the Holy Land, and this present third miraculous entrance. The issue is not righteousness, but wickedness! The righteousness will come later when God circumcises the hearts of His chosen Jews.

I suspect nothing pertaining to Biblical righteousness will take place until God removes the small remaining voice of fundamentalism from within this present monstrous apostate Christian Church . The Jews do acknowledge that there are righteous gentiles around, but only acknowledge those who help Jewish interests. I do not expect righteous gentiles to bring about a revival that will bring the Church back to its righteous puritanical foundations. It is just too late. The future is for the Jews, and their return to the righteousness founded by their Patriarchcal Fathers. The circumcised heart will identify these Jews just as "born again" used to identify puritanical fundamental Christianity.

The coming Kingdom is intended to bring back Biblical righteousness. That plan is centered in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. There is no place for this generation of wicked Islamists. The reason for the coming judgment should be abundantly clear. The truth is there for any willing to filter it out from among the propaganda of the politics. It is sin! It is wickedness! It is about the only Biblical solution to wickedness and sin! The Jewish Messiah is coming again, and this time the Jews will turn to Him for redemption!

 

Ezek 37:4-5

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

Palestinians Say They Can Declare a State

By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM (AP) - Palestinian leaders on Saturday reasserted the right to unilaterally declare an independent state in the absence of a peace deal with Israel, responding to Israel's own threats of one-sided action.

The go-it-alone declarations reflect both sides' frustrations with more than three years of fighting and stalled peace talks.

The PLO Executive Committee, one of the Palestinians' key leadership bodies, met Friday night to discuss the ongoing conflict with Israel and reiterated the right to declare a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Arab parts of Jerusalem - lands that Israel took control of in the 1967 Mideast war.

The Palestinians' path to statehood has come under question amid warnings by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that he could give up on peace talks and draw a boundary that would leave the Palestinians with much less land than they seek.

Sharon recently outlined a plan under which he would withdraw forces from parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, dismantle some Jewish settlements along the way and draw his own boundary between Israel and the Palestinians if peace talks remain stopped.

On Saturday, Saleh Rafat, a member of the PLO committee, said Israel's actions will not prevent the Palestinians from declaring "an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 border." But there are no immediate plans to declare a state, Rafat said.

Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat also emphasized that a "two-state solution is the option of the Palestinian leadership."

From exile in Tunis, the Palestinian National Council declared an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza in 1988 - a move that was never recognized internationally.

In 1999, Yasser Arafat threatened to declare a state again, but backed down after then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would annex parts of the West Bank in response.

Now, the Palestinians face threats from Israel that they could be left with far less territory than they've sought for a future state.

Some Israeli officials believe the Palestinians, possibly even Arafat, are seeking a new strategy: waiting for demographics to resolve the conflict. Experts have predicted the Palestinians will outnumber Jews in the coming decades.

Israel Not Concerned Over PA Threats of Statehood
01:34 Jan 11, '04 / 17 Tevet 5764
 

(IsraelNN.com) Israeli officials are not concerned over recent statements by Yasser Arafat and PA leaders, stating they have every right to unilaterally declare PA statehood at any time. Government officials were quoted by Israel Radio as saying the PA cannot even manage to run autonomous areas, yet alone a state, adding the international community would not tolerate such a PA move.

PA officials indicated they might declare statehood and invite UN observers into the area to monitor compliance of the U.S.’ Road Map plan.

 

The reality is the Land of Judah, Samaria, and Gaza is already annexed by providence. The real problem is that the secular Jewish government refuses to take the responsibility that God has given them. They quiver and quake before the gentile powers rather then trust the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is only the independent fundamental Jewish settlers who show the boldness to go forward with God's provisions.

The real battle over the Promised Land is between the God of the Bible, and the wicked Islamic Arab Palestinians. There is a great rally planned today among Jews opposed to the destruction of any Jewish settlements. It reflects the growing sentiments among the Jews to trust God rather then their own government.

It is these Jews who are preventing the implementation of the gentile road map. It is these Jews who are preventing a heathen Palestinian State from being planted right in the middle of the Holy Land. It is these Jews who I believe will be the first to respond when God removes the blindness that is now covering Jewish eyes. The battle is not righteousness triumphing over wickedness yet! Biblical righteousness is yet coming with the foundation of the Kingdom. What is happening is the preparations for the coming Jewish Kingdom in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. Today's Jews do not have a clear picture of what God is doing yet. The rapture of the small voice of righteous "born again" Jews and gentiles from the great monster evidenced by today's Apostate Christianity must happen first.  It will not be until these Jews recognize the Messiah they have longed for is none other then the Biblical Christ of those who have just been raptured that the picture will become clear. It is then that Biblical righteousness will come again to the Holy Land!

 

Matt 13:25-26

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

The People of Israel Will Not Surrender!'
21:09 Jan 11, '04 / 17 Tevet 5764

“The people of Israel are not ready to surrender” is the message being broadcast across the world from Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square.

50,000 people have already arrived at the rally, with tens of thousands still on buses in traffic leading toward the site.

Minister of Internal Security Uzi Landau (Likud) addressed the crowd, leading off a steady stream of Likud MKs expected to address the crowd.

Minister of Housing Effie Eitam (NRP) issued an emotion filled plea to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. “Arik,” said Eitam from the podium, “we, your friends are here to strengthen you. We know that the last watch before dawn is always the toughest – but the morning is almost here. We are witnessing the success of our war against the enemy and you wish to hand him victory? Is this the time to surrender and flea the battlefield – in the middle of combat?

“We were with you in battle, Arik. Zambish [Zeev Chever, friend of PM Sharon and chairman of Amana, which handles the logistics of the settlement enterprise – ed.], Ketzaleh [Yaakov Katz, of Arutz-7], and many others. We are with you in this battle for our roads, cities and homes. But we will not cooperate in the destruction of Jewish communities – we will not cooperate in expelling a single Jew from their home!”

Yesha council head Yehoshua Mor-Yosef told IsraelNationalNews.com that 150,000 protesters are expected to arrive. Due to traffic tie-ups and the closure of road 60 – the main artery passing through Samaria – many are reportedly stuck on the roads but still attempting to arrive at the rally, which is expected to last into the night.

“The settlers are Israel’s security fence!” read one large banner.

One rally participant told Israel National Radio’s Eli Stutz that although she lives in Petach Tikva, within Israel’s pre-1967 borders she could not say home while “the Prime Minister tries to give away parts of the country – my friends live there, and I care about this country. I moved here from England to strengthen Israel and not to see it surrender.”

Israel National Radio continues its live broadcast of the rally.

 

The latest word is the government has closed highway 60 in a blatant attempt to prevent folks from attending the rally. I'm sure the lower numbers will be presented by the media as proof of little support for the independent fundamental Jewish settlers. It really doesn't matter! These settlers are not intent on winning a popularity contest. They are only interested in obeying God. They have been mostly ignored for the past 37 years. Only now, with the road map on the front pages do they suddenly become newsworthy. Their tenacity has won the hearts of most Jews whether they participate in public demonstrations or not. I suspect the government realizes it is political suicide to strong arm this issue too much. The settlers have gone through this before. They always come back after the press loses interest, and rebuild.

 It is interesting to note that the government is not leading the people on this issue. The people refuse to follow! Oh, that Christianity would turn on the present leadership that makes no challenge to the Benny Hinn's and Pat Robertson's. Oh, that the "born again" would raise up, and repudiate the contemporary musicians, book sellers, and TV moguls who have turned the house of worship into a house of merchandise. Oh, that independent fundamental Christians would demand a return to Bible doctrine as the measure for leadership, and not be influenced by the popularity contests.

The tenacity of this generation of Christians is shamed by the tenacity of these independent fundamental Jewish settlers. The time for dispensational change is here. The rapture anymore can only remove what little wheat can still be found leaving behind the great phony tare-like monster which is this present day Apostate Christian Church! Should we not expect every earthly dispensation to suffer the same need for separation at the end? It will not be until sin is totally eradicated at the great white throne judgment that separation will no longer be a necessary end when dealing with fallible mankind.
