Palestinian 'baby bomber' picture stirs anger
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
 

Despite denials by the Palestinian Authority that it was authentic, the family of a Palestinian baby photographed wearing a mock suicide bomber's uniform replete with sticks of "explosives" and the traditional martyr's red headband confirmed that the photograph was real.

A man who identified himself as the baby's uncle in a television interview with the British Sky News network said, "It was originally taken during a rally or a graduation party at the university." He was filmed from the back in low light to conceal his identity at his request.

"This is cheap Israeli propaganda," said PA Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo. "They are using this photo to justify Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and to go on with their occupation of the Palestinian territories. These photos can easily be forged and distributed, and this has been done by the Israeli media several times before."

Dore Gold, an adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the picture "symbolizes the incitement and hatred which the Palestinian leadership has been using to brainwash an entire generation of Palestinian children."

 

 

I heard for the first time on the news "a culture of hatred" which is just so true of Islam. When judgment falls on the Islamic world, it will be because of this kind of hatred. An interesting study in the Bible is of the pagan god Moloch. It was to this god that the pagans sacrificed their children. The practice was so widespread that many Bible scholars now identify the Hebrew word for Moloch as meaning child sacrifice. The original Moloch was  a bronze idol with arms outstretched. A fire was placed between the outstretched arms until they glowed red hot. A family having difficulty would be encouraged by the priests to sacrifice their baby if they wanted relief. It sounded much like the wealth and prosperity gospel heard of so much on TV these days, or those who promise a healing in the name of Christ. The ancient worshiper would throw their infant into the arms of Moloch. I'm sure a family here or there would find some measure of prosperity, or recovered health which the priests would then publicize as due to the favor of Moloch.

Today, the Charismatics sacrifice their children to the lies of the charlatans who make the same kind of promises to the gullible. These professing Christians  want to hear the lies, and even more detestable is that they willingly believe that the God of the Bible condones such TV wizards in sheep's clothing. The growth of the Charismatic movement on false signs and miracles is another reason why the rapture is near. It has so intertwined itself throughout today's Christianity that the real signs and miracles of the Bible become identified as of the same false proclamations believable only to the gullible.

God detests the sacrifice of children whether to Moloch, Islam, or lies. The Jews were never in greater danger of facing the wrath of God then when they allowed Moloch worship to enter into the congregation. It seems to me that the Christian world is now in the same category. Islam will be judged for a culture of hate, and today's Christianity will be judged for a culture of lies. The first generation of Charismatics may have looked to Christ, but this second generation only look to the false signs and miracles! Much of the Christian leadership either condoned the lies, or just turned their heads. The lies and false claims have had great success, and now become an acceptable part of the Christian culture.

The time is right for dispensational change!

9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

War Crimes Court Opens for Business

By Anthony Deutsch
Associated Press Writer
Monday, July 1, 2002; 10:31 AM

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands –– A four-member team opened for business Monday at the temporary office of the world's first permanent war crimes court, as international criticism mounted against U.S. opposition to the tribunal.

Armed only with a fax machine and a phone, the staffers went to work in a single room of the 16-story office complex set aside as the court's headquarters in The Hague until a permanent court is built. Their main task will be keeping track of complaints until permanent representatives are appointed early next year.

On Sunday, the United States took the extreme step of vetoing the renewal of the mandate for peacekeeping operations in Bosnia after failing to win an exemption for its troops from any proceeding at the new International Criminal Court.

The U.S. move was denounced, even by some of Washington's closest allies, with only Israel fully supporting the American position.

 

The Dawn of Political Injustice

"The moment the charter of the court took the shape of a political institution rather than a judicial institution, we could no longer be a part of it," said Justice Ministry spokesman Yonaton Baker.

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Yehuda Lancry, signed the treaty in December 2000, but only after assurances that the court would not be used as a political tool to persecute Israelis. With memories of the Holocaust in mind, Israel had been among the countries pushing for a permanent war crimes court.

Israel's backing withered, however, after the treaty's framers expanded a list of war crimes to include the movement of populations into occupied territories. That could throw into question the future of 200,000 Jews living in more than 140 settlements built on land captured from Egypt and Jordan after the 1967 Six-Day War, which is now claimed by the Palestinians for a future state.

 

 

The US and Israel well oppose this group of pompous judges who will demonstrate the anti-Semitism that exists behind closed doors by the worldly elite. This world court is nothing more then an extension of the UN which is notorious for it's anti-Semitic resolutions. How true it is that men of low degree are filled with vanity. The prisons are filled with innocent inmates who were framed. God who looks into the heart makes evaluation of the judges who put the criminals away, and finds the vanity in their hearts is even worse.

This world court will certainly oppose the declaration by Israel that they must build the Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The Bible says that God will send two prophets who will witness in Jerusalem for 3 1/2 years. I believe they will be given a mandate from God to build the Jewish Millennial Temple in preparation for the Second Coming of the Messiah. This court will most likely represent world opinion that God must be overruled. Such a mandate will be considered tantamount to a declaration of war.

The conflict between a holy God, and the vanity of depraved mankind will become very apparent as the Great Tribulation progresses. The worldly hate for holiness and purity that has been hidden behind closed doors will be unveiled by truth. The conflict will become so intense that I believe this newly formed world court will actually pass resolutions saying that men have the freedom and right to disagree with God! Their vanity will cause them to feel the world did fine without Christ for 2000 years, and does not need Him now!

I never forget that as God brings down the last of the Great Tribulation plagues on a rebellious world that men filled with their own vanity blaspheme His Holy Name as one final defiant act.

The day the sun caught fire

by Ed Harris

This spectacular eruption of superheated gases, shooting a flame hundreds of thousands of miles long into space from the sun, was captured on film by an orbiting satellite.

The solar eruption, which is more than 240,000 miles long, burst from the surface of the sun yesterday as the satellite had its cameras trained on our nearest star.

The explosion is what astronomers call an eruptive prominence, a loop of magnetic fields that trap hot gas inside. As the trapped gas becomes unstable it erupts violently into space.

If eruptions like these are aimed at Earth, they can disturb the magnetosphere, the planet's magnetic field, with dramatic consequences.

Past eruptions have knocked out satellites, wrecked television reception and caused power surges and blackouts, but this one was fortunately not aimed at us.

Scientists say the sun is experiencing a solar max, a period of strong activity that happens about every 11 years and lasts for about three or four years.

The eruption is mostly burning hydrogen gas and solar particles which have been flung into space at around 100,000F, eight times the temperature at the core of the Earth, which is up to 13,000F - and hot enough to vapourise our planet should the Earth cross its path.

 

 

The secular scientists try to tell us the earth has been around for billions of years. The facts seem to indicate the earth is in a very fragile environment of limited time duration. Just a few weeks ago a near earth object (NEO) massive meteor came within the earth/moon orbit in the closest shave ever recorded. It was not discovered until 3 days after it's fly by. Science just recently started looking for such objects. How many other close shaves has there been before they started looking? Now the sun is known to have such violent explosions that the earth would be vaporized if it's path went through one! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the most recent scientific facts point to an earth more in the range of the 6000 Biblical years old then the secular billions of years.

God has designed the entire universe with limited time duration. The more science advances; the more the facts indicate a literal Bible is the proper way to approach this awesome book. Look into the heavens tonight, and tell me what you see? Are all the stars you can see burning out just like our sun? The secular scientists try to tell us what can't be seen must be true, and that new stars are being formed? These are the same scientists who told us NEO's were millions of years apart until Jupiter was hit just recently by earth destroying commit fragments, and then did not discover MN 2002 until 3 days after it's fly by.

We live in a very fragile, and very hostel environment of limited time duration. It is only God who keeps the eruptive prominences of the sun from vaporizing the earth for the present. It is only God who keeps the NEO's as close shaves, and not catastrophic collisions! The time would be over had not God a future plan in the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Signs in the sun is just one of the things the Bible says we should watch in these last days as the dispensations are about to change! I am looking up, and lifting up my head! I believe I can see the beginning of these things coming to pass!

 

Ps 130:7-8
7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
KJV
 

Slowly But Surely

Quietly, efficiently and without international protest, Israeli forces continue their anti-terrorism offensive throughout Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. Last night saw the arrest of many more wanted Arab terrorists, including Nizal Sawiftah, an Islamic Jihad leader in Tubus, a village near Shechem. Also taken into custody were Assad Halvoni, a leading Hamas terrorist who had been operating in Shechem’s Casba; an Arab woman in the midst of preparing to carry out a suicide attack; and others. In Gaza, the army discovered a tunnel used by Arabs to smuggle weapons into PLO-areas from Egypt.

No sooner did the IDF forces leave the western Shomron city of Kalkilye this morning and redeploy around it in a tight closure, when fresh intelligence warnings of terrorism were received - and the army went right back in this afternoon. Kalkilye is located east of Raanana.

The IDF has announced that thousands more army reservists will be called up for duty this week to take part in Operation Determined Stand. Army sources have said that the reservists will not serve more than a month on active duty.

Palestinian terrorists threw a firebomb at a car traveling near Shilo, in Binyamin, last night. No injuries were reported... Shots were fired at an Israeli car north of Jenin this afternoon; no one was hurt.

 

 

The effectiveness of the IDF can be seen in that the Palestinian terrorists are reduced to throwing fire bombs rather then explosives. The hate that drives the Palestinians to murder Jews can't be changed, but their ability to do so effectively in any grotesque manner that they can devise has certainly been reduced. The policy of hitting back hard works, but it will never bring peace. It can't change hearts. It can't solve the underlying problem of sin. It is sad that the Holy Land has to suffer so, but the fruits of sin are always a sad affair.

God promises that the future glory of Israel is coming. It is based on redemption from sin. It goes right to the root of the problem. Peace with God which is the most important peace. It also is beyond man's grasp, but can be found in Christ.

 

1 Kings 8:11
11So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

"The Third Temple's Holy of Holies: Israel's Nuclear Weapons,"

U.S. Air Force: Israel has 400 nukes, building naval force

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM

Thursday, July 4, 2002

A United States Air Force report asserts that Israel is building a nuclear naval force meant to respond to any nuclear strike by such countries as Iran or Iraq.

It is the first time a U.S. military institution has stated that Israel has produced a hydrogen bomb. The number of purported Israeli nuclear weapons cited in the report is double that of previous assessments.

The report, sponsored by the air force's Counterproliferation Center, asserts that the navy can deploy any of what it asserts is Israel's 400 atomic and hydrogen weapons, Middle East Newsline reported. The center is located in the Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

In a report entitled "The Third Temple's Holy of Holies: Israel's Nuclear Weapons," U.S. Army Col. Warner Farr said Israel's nuclear arsenal has grown from an estimated 13 nuclear bombs in 1967 to 400 nuclear and thermonuclear weapons. Farr said Israel's navy could deploy nuclear weapons on the fleet of three German-built Dolphin-class diesel submarines.

"Israel will then have a second strike capability with nuclear cruise missiles, and this capability could well change the nuclear arms race in the Middle East," the report, which Farr said is based on unclassified sources, read. "Israeli rhetoric on the new submarines labels them 'national deterrent' assets."

The report said these nuclear missiles could have a range of 350 kilometers. Israel would try to base its nuclear naval force near Oman, with which Israel has informal relations, the September 1999 report, which was recently published by the center, said.

"The first basing options for the new second-strike force of nuclear missile capable submarines include Oman, an Arab nation with unofficial Israeli relations, located strategically near Iran," the report said.

The U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center was established in 1998. The center is meant to help prepare air force commanders counter the threat from weapons of mass destruction. The report did not deem Israel's purported nuclear arsenal as a direct threat to the United States.

The report said Israel's Defense Ministry has requested from the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon authorization for a retaliatory nuclear strike. Israel could also use Jordanian air space for a nuclear strike on Iran, which the report said could produce a nuclear warhead as early as 2004.

 

 

I find the title of this report a rather unusual assertion. The secular author links the Third Jewish Temple, and the Holy of Holies to Israel's unconfirmed nuclear arsenal. There is some truth in what he says in that the Third Jewish Temple and the Holy of Holies is the real power upon which Israel's survival depends, but it will never be a secular faith in nuclear weapons that will be the future for Israel. It can only be the God who will dwell in the Holy of Holies of the Third Jewish Temple that can give Israel a future! Faith in the arm of man always fails. The USSR found all the faith they put in their nuclear arsenal was wasted because the downfall came through the back door. The arm of flesh proved weak for Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman, yet the Jew who put his faith in the God of the Bible survived. The lesson must be learned again by this generation of Jews.

The Bible says the glory of the LORD will again manifest itself in the Third Jewish Temple. It will not be until then that Israel will have a future again!

 

Ezek 47:1
47:1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

WESTERN WALL LEAK STIRS LATEST RUMORS OF EZEKIEL'S RIVER

An unexplained water leak in the famed Western Wall in Jerusalem has sparked the latest flurry of rumors that the redemption of Israel is upon us.

Hundreds of curious onlookers have been flocking to the Western Wall plaza over the past six days, ever since a strange trickle of water was observed last Saturday coming from a crevice in the huge stones of the retaining wall of the Temple Mount, well above the divider between the men and women's prayer section of the Kotel. The seepage so far is minimal, dampening a small a 10 x 40 centimeter patch of the Wall, and Israeli authorities suggest it is coming from a leaking pipe under the control of the Muslim Waqf.

The Rabbi of the Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitch, said this week that the drip is "highly unusual," and suggested, "Maybe the [Wailing] Wall is indeed crying because of the current situation in the country."

Similar baffling water flows in and around the Temple Mount in the past have led some to erroneously claim it was the miraculous river prophesied in Ezekiel 47 that will flow during the Messianic era from the rebuilt Temple and sweeten the Dead Sea, among other things. One such rumor in 1999 was discounted, however, when it was discovered that Waqf authorities on the Mount were pumping off accumulated rainwater in underground cisterns around the Dome of the Rock as part of an effort to clean them out of any traces of Jewish history or artifacts.

According to the prophet Ezekiel, the future flow of water from the Temple Mount can be expected to have incredible healing qualities, causing trees along its banks to bear fruit year round, among other things. Until that type of miraculous water shows up, more unfounded rumors can be expected of water flows on the Temple Mount heralding imminent redemption.

 

 

The mighty river of Ezekiel 47 will flow with it's wondrous healing powers, but what is lost in the excitement of today's news is the source of that flow. Ezekiel tells us it will come from under the South side of the altar that will be built for the Millennial Temple. The purpose of this flow is that it will be a cleansing flood. It will be a continual flow of water mingled with the blood of sacrifice made upon that altar. Blood representing the only sacrifice able to wash away sin that was accomplished at Calvary. The purpose of the flow will be to continually cleanse the altar. The miraculous healing power will be due to the blood. This cleansing flow will grow as the power in the blood will never be diluted. The flow from under the altar shall become a stream then a mighty river. It will eventually renew planet earth after the devastations brought upon it by the curses of the Great Tribulation. It will be a continuous reminder of the sacrifice accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ!

I have no idea what this present leak in the Western Wailing Wall represents? Whether it is natural, or manmade? I do know there will be no power in just the water alone. I'm sure the Charismatic TV charlatans are falling over each other trying to get a sample of this leak that they could then dilute into thousands if not millions of vials for sale. I can only imagine what healing powers they would attribute to such a prize. I would be hesitant to drink any of it for a leaky toilet might prove the source after investigations are completed?

There is great healing power attributed to this great God of the Bible. It is a shame what the Charismatics have done to the real miracles God has, does, and will do. The Charismatic miracles can only be believed by the gullible. The real miracles of God today can be seen in changed lives of those who are truly born again. The miracle power of Ezekiel's mighty river will be accessible to any who avail themselves to it's benefits during the millennial reign of Christ. Today, that same cleansing power is available to any who will repent of their sins, and come to Christ. The sacrifice has been completed. The cleansing, healing blood has been shed. It is the Lord Jesus Christ not religion, or religious men that has the power to wash away sin! It is only to Him that you must come!

Princeton bioethicist argues Christianity hurts animals

By Joyce Howard Price
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Princeton bioethicist and animal rights advocate Peter Singer says Christianity is harmful to animals. Mr. Singer, who condones the killing of severely deformed newborns, made those views known at an animal rights conference Saturday at the Hilton Hotel in McLean — and he reiterated them yesterday in a telephone interview with The Washington Times.
     "One of the things that causes a problem for the animal movement is the strong strain of fundamentalist Christianity that makes a huge gulf between humans and animals, saying humans have souls but animals do not," Mr. Singer, professor of bioethics at Princeton since 1999, said in a telephone interview from his home near the university.
     The Australian-born scholar said "that kind of attitude is a problem in getting people to think of animals as objects of moral value."
     Mr. Singer, a vegetarian who believes animals have the same rights as humans, has been described by the Los Angeles Times and others as the "godfather" of the animal rights movement.
     He challenges the position that all human life is sacred, and says it is morally acceptable to euthanize severely disabled infants. Mr. Singer's views have sparked such vehement opposition that Princeton has given him a scanner to check his mail for bombs.
     At Saturday's animal rights conference, Mr. Singer said fundamentalist Christians in this country take the Bible too "literally" and promote "speciesism." He defined speciesism as a belief by humans that they are "superior to any other being," reported Cybercast News Service (www.cnsnews.com), which covered the event.

 

 

Professor Singer has reached the only logical conclusion that evolutionists can honestly achieve. He is also correct in seeing that a literal interpretation of the Bible is the greatest foe to such a conclusion. He is far from being some screwball with a degree. He does not see Evangelical Christianity that compromised with the evolutionists as the enemy, but rather fundamental Christianity with it's literal approach to the Bible. Many Evangelicals hold to creationism, but associate within their fellowships those who believe evolution and the Bible can be compromised. It is much like the good old boys meeting in the bar over cocktails discussing the evils of drunkenness on society. The words somehow lose their effectiveness when a boozed breath pushes them out into the public domain.

I had a dog that I loved, and who loved me. During an illness I was bedridden for over a week. That dog did something he had never done before. The big clodhopper climbed up on the kitchen table knocking most everything on the floor, but got a bag of bagels out of the bowl on the table. He brought them to my bedside putting them in my lap. I thank God for such a loving animal. I had great affection for that dog, but never would I put that dog in higher regard to a human life. I know the truth that the Bible teaches that there is no comparison between man and animal. I know that man was created by the same God who created the animals, and so there will be some similarities due to a single creator. I also know that man is unique to all God created. We have an external body subject to the same infirmities of  the animals, but God has given us an eternal soul that will never die. My dog need not worry about all the times I called him, and he did not come. Man does have to worry about the many times God has called him, but he refused the invitation. The eternal soul of man makes him accountable after death.

Woe to the man that says no to Christ when He gives His invitation to come!

16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

SHARON DIVULGES JOINT US-ISRAELI PEACE PLAN

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon claimed on Thursday that he has concluded a secret diplomatic plan with the Bush Administration that would lead to a final peace deal with the Palestinians.

Sharon insisted yesterday that he has agreed with US President George W. Bush on an as-yet undisclosed diplomatic plan for reaching a final peace accord with the Palestinians, along the lines of Bush's landmark Mideast policy speech on June 24. Sharon refrained from disclosing details of the plan, but declared that Israel "praises the principles included in the President George Bush's speech, and supports their implementation."

In the speech, Bush presented a phased plan for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement that would begin with removing the corrupt and terror-laden Palestinian leadership and instituting thorough reforms in the Palestinian Authority, and eventually setting up a Palestinian state alongside Israel as soon as three years from now. An "interim state" could emerge early on, without fixed borders, on about 40 percent of Judea/Samaria and the Gaza Strip.

Apparently, only two or three close aides to Sharon were involved in negotiating the plan with American officials over recent months.

 

 

The deliverance of Israel does not include the rebellious Palestinians. The Holy Land belongs only to God. It is He that decides who will dwell there. Today, He is preparing for the coming Jewish Kingdom. The Bible says that God will put a new heart in many of the Jews who will be the new foundation for this coming Kingdom. There is provision for the Gentile stranger who willingly submits to the Jewish statutes and ordinances that will be the law of the land. All must submit to the God of the Bible. All must submit to His Son who will be King. The Lion of Judah, the Root of Jesse, out of the linage of King David, shall rule this Kingdom. All who live in His Kingdom, upon His Land, must submit to Him! There will be no Palestinian State when the King of kings makes His entrance. There will be no pricking briers, or grieving thorns. All who despise the Jews will be judged, and destroyed. There will be no compromise for any false peace.

The Bush and Sharon administrations are going in the wrong direction. The peace that they are proposing is a false peace. It will only lead to even greater animosity between Arab and Jew. It will only lead to even greater hate by Islam toward Judaism. It will only lead to the last Jihad of Ezekiel 38 & 39!

Amato calls for strong president to lead EU

By Daniel Dombey in Brussels

Published: July 7 2002 21:56 | Last Updated: July 7 2002 21:56

One of the most senior figures in Europe's debate on its future has added his voice to calls for a powerful president to give strategic direction to the European Union.

Giuliano Amato, vice-chairman of the EU's constitutional convention, is at the same time calling for an important role for the European Commission, suggesting that when government ministers are not dealing with legislation, their meetings should be chaired by a commissioner.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Amato said the future roles of national governments and the Commission could be analogous with, respectively, those of the French president and prime minister. In France, the president is responsible for foreign affairs and defence, while the prime minister takes on the day-to-day responsibility of governing.

Such a vision differs from ideas floated by France, the UK, and Spain, which would probably give member states greater weight but which resemble them in insisting on the need to change the current system of rotating six-month EU presidencies.

Mr Amato, a former Italian prime minister, called the status quo "a crazy system, totally inefficient". He argued that the EU needed a president "who remains long enough not to change the priorities every six months".

 

 

My personal feelings are that the antichrist will come out of some form of the European Union. The Bible says the antichrist will appear as a leader of the western world when a ten nation confederacy is operating. He will overthrow three of the ten leaders by political maneuvering, and emerge as king of the western world.

The events taking place today are aimed at strengthening the EU. Today, the US runs roughshod over Europe because it is all powerful. A strong president of Europe would be a first necessary step to establishing an environment for the antichrist. These things can happen very quickly in the volatile world of today's politics. The antichrist is most probably alive right now waiting in the wings for his opportunity to take control. He may be a corporal in some army, or maybe a paper hanger in France or Germany? What is certain is that he hates Jews. He will be politically correct, but his hate will be more vicious then anything the Jews have ever faced including the present terrorism. The antichrist's hate for the Jews, and the God of the Bible's preserving hand is what will lead the whole world into Armageddon.

The world will not be the innocent victim of the antichrist. Each will make an individual choice of refusing God's righteousness and holiness of which the Judaism of that day will represent. The results of their personal choice will condemn them for all eternity with no mercy, or hope of reprieve so great is the rejection! The wrath of God has a basic premise whether applied to the most horrific terrorist, or the little old grandmother who sacrificed her own pleasures for family and friends. The premise is God's revealed plan of salvation. To reject that plan unto death is to abide under the wrath of God forever. To reject the Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest insult that can be hurtled at the God of all creation. To reject His sacrificial death. To deny His miraculous resurrection. To turn against His soon coming Jewish Kingdom. These things can only bring eternal condemnation in the lake of fire!

Those who have never heard can challenge God, but I think it will be proved they would have never responded had they heard. God is too versatile in the missionaries He uses, or the events that bring the gospel message to seeking inquirers to be unable to reach anyone at any time.

 

John 3:18
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

NFL Player Gives Up Millions for Army
Mon Jul 8, 2:43 PM ET

FORT BENNING, Ga. (AP) - NFL player Pat Tillman made a living pushing his body to the limit, putting himself through grueling training and sweating it out in the summer heat. This year, he's doing it for the Army for a lot less money.

The 25-year-old starting safety for the Arizona Cardinals told coaches last year that he wanted to join the Rangers — the Army's elite infantry unit — and train with his younger brother, who enlisted with him.

Tillman turned down a three-year, $3.6 million contract with the Cardinals to make $18,000 per year for an uncertain future, since there is no guarantee he will make Ranger.

Basic training began Monday at Fort Benning.

"In Pat Tillman's view of the world, football is a part of it, but there are a lot of other things that are important to him," said Lyle Setencich, Tillman's linebacker coach at Arizona State University.

This is, after all, a player who last year turned down a $9 million, five-year offer from the Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams so he could stay with the perennially losing Cardinals for less money.

Tillman has rejected all requests for an interview about his decision.

 

 

I've been dealing with the Biblical reality of hell these last few days because the pressure is on to shush the subject in many Christian circles. It's a subject not designed to win friends, and influence people by worldly standards. One of the benefits that come with retirement is I am under no pressure. I have no fears of losing my pulpit, my livelihood, or my home in the parsonage.  I am free to tell the truth as the Bible presents it.

Here (Pat Tillman) is an honorable man who may die in combat as millions of soldiers have down through the ages. Such conduct is measured by men as worthy of heaven. The Moslem murderer of Jewish children is also told he is an honorable soldier by his or her handlers. It maters not what men may say or believe. What maters is what God says. All who refuse to submit to God's revealed plan of salvation are condemned already! To reject God's eternal plan aimed at saving the lost is the greatest insult the creature can hurl against the God of all creation. It brings eternal condemnation in hell! To reject Christ the fullness of salvation for all ages brings down the wrath of God. It is a fearful thing to contemplate abiding under the wrath of God for all eternity. It is a fearful thing to realize the love of God offered freely was rejected! The sacrifice for lost sinners at Calvary is the greatest example of true love ever fulfilled!

The blood thirsty pagan hordes from Meshech and Tubal in the Ezekiel passage below were terrible in their ruthless manner of terrorizing the vanquished. They were not honorable men, but noted for their animalistic brutality. God said they would not lie with the mighty (the honorable soldiers who showed discipline in the midst of the horrors of war). The honorable are designated by having been laid with their swords under their heads. A sign of honor and dignity. A medal of honor. Yet, the honor of men had no value in death. They all went to hell. They were all uncircumcised, and therefore condemned already by Old Testament standards of God's revealed plan of salvation through the coming Jewish Messiah.

Those who reject God's love throughout their life will find only His wrath at death. Today, God's eternal plan of salvation has been accomplished. There is no other place to go then Christ. Please read my testimony at Who is DDSrail!

400 new immigrants arrive from North America
By TOVAH LAZAROFF

Nine months ago, Rabbi Joshua Fass of Florida dreamed of bringing hundreds of North American immigrants to Israel. Yesterday, he was the first person to step out of the El Al plane which did just that. The nearly 400 passengers mark the largest number of North Americans to arrive at one time in 25 years.

Tired from the long trip, he looked out at the hundreds of people holding Israeli flags and singing hevenu shalom aleichem, in the nearby hangar. Many journalists and politicians waited at the bottoms of the airplane steps. Behind them, his father was waving and shouting his name. He said his first thought was, "My journey is just beginning." His wife Batsheva said "it felt like coming home, with a lot of people to greet you."

As the co-founder of the program Nefesh b'Nefesh which brought these immigrants to Israel, Fass spoke to fellow passengers and hundreds of their friends at a ceremony at Ben-Gurion Airport.

Their arrival, Fass said, should be viewed by Israelis as "a passionate and palpable expression of solidarity. We come from over 20 states as a common people, with a common goal, to share our lives with yours," Fass said.

He hopes the world notes the arrival of the North Americans and understands that Israel is not just a haven for those fleeing persecution.

"We are not running from discontent. We choose Israel, it is the soul of the Jewish people. Our fate, past and future, is bound to this land."
Florida businessman and program co-founder Tony Gelbart said, "The world must know that no amount of pressure and no amount of terror will ever keep Jews from choosing Israel as their homeland."

 

 

God has made great promises to the Jews. He hid as it were His face from them, but just for a moment in God's eternal concept of time. That moment is coming to an end! The true Church is about to step aside at the rapture. America will become a heathen country. All that will be left of American Christianity will be the great Apostate Church already in existence. The Church that denies the Bible record of salvation by faith in Christ alone. The Church of false priesthoods, and false sainthoods all usurpers of Christ alone. The Church of the charlatans of false signs and miracles who add to saving faith in Christ alone then deny the very thing they do. It is a Church that turned being born again in Christ alone into vanity by their disrespectful living and worship. The real Church has slept while the apostates filled the old bastions of correct Biblical doctrine. Today, doctrine is a dirty word which causes unwanted division. The unity of the apostates is disrupted when a fundamentalist starts to preach. Today, everyone is Evangelical to chastise those old fundamentalists who preached doctrine with fire, and divided out the apostates from the saved! Dispensational change is what God says to this lukewarm neutralized Church that can't feel either heat or cold anymore. It is time to step aside so God can pick up again with the same message of Christ the redeemer, but the redeemer of Israel in the coming dispensation of the Jewish Kingdom.

I don't know if God will redeem all these 400 American Jews just recently arrived in Israel? I don't know if some will respond to Christ the Messiah quickly, or whether they must undergo great tribulation before their hearts will be ready? I do know it is a good sign that they felt compelled to go home at this time in history. The greatest number of the new Jews being gathered together in these last days are from the old USSR (the North country). God is preparing for the future glory of Israel. The time for dispensational change is near. The door is about to close on the Gentile world as God lets the moment pass. It will then be too late! The future promises are for the redeemed Jews of Israel who will submit to the coming Righteous Branch out of the linage of King David. The Lord Jesus Christ will be their future King! The Jewish redeemer of Israel!

Astonishing' skull unearthed in Africa

This is a picture of the recently unearthed human-like skull which is being described as the most important find of its type in living memory.

It was found in the desert in Chad by an international team and is thought to be approximately seven million years old.

"I knew I would one day find it... I've been looking for 25 years," said Michel Brunet of the University of Poitiers, France.

Scientists say it is the most important discovery in the search for the origins of humankind since the first Australopithecus "ape-man" remains were found in Africa in the 1920s.

The newly discovered skull finally puts to rest any idea that there might be a single "missing link" between humans and chimpanzees, they say.

Messy evolution

 

Analysis of the ancient find is not yet complete, but already it is clear that it has an apparently puzzling combination of modern and ancient features.

Henry Gee, senior editor at the scientific journal Nature, said that the fossil made it clear how messy the process of evolution had been.

"It shows us there wasn't a nice steady progression from ancient hominids to what we are today," he told BBC News Online.

"It's the most important find in living memory, the most important since the australopithecines in the 1920s.

"It's amazing to find such a wonderful skull that's so old," he said.

 What is the skull's significance?

The skull is so old that it comes from a time when the creatures which were to become modern humans had not long diverged from the line that would become chimpanzees.

There were very few of these creatures around relative to the number of people in the world today, and only a tiny percentage of them were ever fossilised.

So despite all the false starts, failed experiments and ultimate winners produced by evolution, the evidence for what went on between 10 and five million years ago is very scarce.

 

 

Grandparent, great uncle, great aunt?

There will be plenty of debate about where the Chad skull fits into the incomplete and sketchy picture researchers have drawn for the origins of the human species.

"A find like this does make us question the trees people have built up of human evolution," Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum, London, UK, told the BBC.

Sahelanthropus tchadensis, as the find has been named, may turn out to be a direct human ancestor or it may prove to be a member of a side branch of our family tree.

The team which found the skull believes it is that of a male, but even that is not 100% clear.

"They've called it a male individual, based on the strong brow ridge, but it's equally possible it's a female," said Professor Stringer.

 What the experts say

Future finds may make the whole picture of human evolution clearer.

"We've got to be ready for shocks and surprises to come," he said.

The Sahelanthropus has been nicknamed Toumai, a name often given to children born in the dry season in Chad.

Full details of the discovery appear in the journal Nature.

 

This is more of the old Dumbo (elephants can fly) Evolution brought by the same fellows who tell us that dinosaurs could fly, or at least became birds? The Messy Evolution that they admit is due to starting with the wrong premise that man evolved from apes, or really that anything evolved into anything else! Monkeys are always monkeys after their kind, men are always men after their kind, and it only gets messy when the dumbo scientists try to join the two together.

I'm going to make a statement that I challenge anyone to refute. I see a piece of a monkey skull! Because no mention is made to it's size other then the 5 cm jaw bone that may not even be connected to the skull, I suspect it is about cat or raccoon size? I doubt it is significantly different from modern monkeys swinging in the trees of any zoo. It may well be a species of monkey gone extinct, but it is nothing more then a monkey. I'm sure the dumbo reconstruction artistic scientists will stretch  their imaginations to give it many human like looks in their practice of artistic freedom, but the skull looks to me like most other monkey skulls. I think it is a crime what artistic freedom did with "Lucy" australopithecus. The little 3 foot monkey found by Donald Johnson.

Homo sapiens (homo which includes Neandertal) are men, and all the rest are primate monkeys. It is just that simple! There is no mess because there is no evidence of of anything evolving into anything else. Science with all the help of modern computers is still unable to make the fruit fly anything other then a fruit fly. Only the artist can make a monkey look like a man. I read the other day how they spliced spider DNA into a goat, and can now extract spider web silk from the goat milk. The goat is still a goat. It does not have a goat head and spider spinnerets. Modern science can do no more then create another form of the impotent jackass! Goats are still goats, spiders are still spiders, monkeys are still monkeys, and men remain the unique creation of God with immortal souls accountable to the great God of all creation! Only men (and the fallen angels) can sin, and only for men has the Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed His life that they may be saved.

UK Scholars Debate Boycott of Israel

By Jill Lawless
Associated Press Writer

LONDON –– Hundreds of European academics have called a boycott of Israeli universities to protest treatment of the Palestinians – a move that has led to the firing of two Israelis from British publications and prompted allegations of discrimination and intellectual censorship.

Boycott supporters insist they're exerting political pressure on the Israeli government. But Miriam Shlesinger says she is a victim of academic discrimination. A lecturer in translation studies at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Shlesinger was fired from a journal, The Translator, by an editor who supports the boycott.

"I was appointed as a scholar," Shlesinger said Wednesday. "But I was dismissed as an Israeli."

The online petition calls on academics not to "cooperate with official Israeli institutions, including universities" to protest Israel's "military reoccupation of the Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza Strip" – a reference to Israel's military campaign begun in March in response to attacks by Palestinian suicide bombers.

The petition commits signatories not to travel to Israel for conferences or to "participate as referee in hiring or promotion decisions by Israeli universities," but says they should "continue to collaborate with, and host, Israeli scientific colleagues on an individual basis."

 

Anti-Semitism comes in many forms, and this intellectual anti-Semitism is one of the worst. The message they send is that all smart people agree Israel must be punished? What a terrible message to come out of academia. It sounds just like what all the smart people of the last generation in Germany who let the Nazi's take control were saying. What a message they sent to the whole world. I can only conclude these smarties think Arafat should be applauded for his terroristic stand against Israel? They must have slept through their history lessons on their way to academic excellence? It is obvious they never took a class in basic morality 101.

There are times when the influence of the smart people must be resisted. I'm sure the judges who tried taking God out of the pledge have now had second thoughts about their wisdom. After 9/11, this turned into the most stupid thing these smart people could have ever come up with!

I doubt heaven will be overrun with smarties. The really smart people have learned that humility is a necessary virtue. Any fool can gain the applause of academia ("the fool said in his heart there is no God"), but a truly smart man finds "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom!"

The wise realize dispensational change is almost here. The future glory of Israel is where this present course of history is heading. It is a rather foolish man who  opposes God's future plan for the coming Jewish Kingdom!

Missionary Threats

"I can tell you one thing, remember this: If I have problems, I will find you, even under the earth. It won't be so good for you. I will be hurt, but you will too." These were some of the threats sounded by missionary Igor Hoshevtov while speaking recently by phone with Rabbi Alex Artovsky of the anti-missionary organization Yad L'Achim. The conversation was taped, and Rabbi Artovsky submitted the tapes to the police as part of charges he filed against Hoshevtov.

The story, as published this week in Mishpacha newspaper, began when Yad L'Achim - an organization that aims to uncover and stop illegal missionary activity in Israel - discovered that a missionary group was renting space in Canyon Center in Rishon LeTzion. The group used the room to deliver lectures on a regular basis, with the aim of converting elderly Jews and others. Rabbi Artovsky informed the mall management of his discovery, and soon received a call from Hoshevtov with the above threats, and including also the following: "I have two relatives serving in good places. I can cause you such problems, that it will be hard for you - but I'll get out of it."

Rabbi Artovsky's complaint to the police was also accompanied by a letter from Yad L'Achim legal counsel Atty. Yoram Sheftel explaining the severity of the apparent crime. Atty. Sheftel explained on another occasion that missionary activity is illegal in Israel only if it is based on the promise of material benefits to the "targets." Sheftel added, however, that, "Unfortunately, the police, with the backing of the State Prosecution, does not sufficiently enforce the law even when the missionary activity is clearly illegal."

 

I have no idea what outfit Missionary Igor Hoshevtov represents, but I do know making threats is not wise missionary behavior. One thing that must be realized is that the apostate Church is alive and active in Israel. The great apostate Church that will be left behind after the rapture has tentacles that reach far and wide. The proponents of false signs and miracles have a large pool of gullible Jews steeped in mystical beliefs. The Roman Catholic Church was ripe for exploitation by these wizards because of their mystical background, and the secular Jews are no exception. They leave the frying pan only to jump into the fire. The Christ of these false missionaries is not the Christ of the Bible. Their Christ is based on false signs, false claims, and false doctrine. A born again experience is nothing more then vanity with these folks. All the false mysticism added to faith in Christ makes it another gospel! The Roman Catholic Church added the superman priesthood, the miracle working sainthood, the visions of laypeople and clergy, and exaltation of a miracle working virgin Mary to the gospel of Christ changing it to another gospel. A gospel of manmade vanity. Today the Charismatics have taken this desire for mysticism to new lows of deception. The apostate Church is not limited to just the West, but is alive and as deceptive in Israel as well.

The secular Israeli policy against missionary activity is wrong, but the God of the Bible can overcome such attitudes without the use of threats! The real threat to Judaism is when the Bible is abandoned for the false claims of men.
