10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

Al Aqsa joins Palestinian cease-fire

Militant group claims responsibility for West Bank killing

Monday, June 30, 2003 Posted: 1:40 PM EDT (1740 GMT)

GAZA CITY (CNN) -- The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced Monday it would join militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a cease-fire -- just hours after claiming responsibility for killing a construction worker in the West Bank.

Leaders of Al Aqsa, a militant offshoot of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, issued a statement pledging to "desist from all sorts of resistance."

"In the name of Allah the merciful, with the main interest of the Palestinians foremost in our minds, and in line with the decisions of our leader Yasser Arafat and in order to give the new government [of Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas] every opportunity to succeed, we of the Al Aqsa Martyrs have decided to desist from all sorts of resistance and to stop our actions against the Israelis," the statement read.

The Fatah movement said Sunday evening that it would stop all military actions against Israel and that the announcement also would apply to Al Aqsa.

But the Al Aqsa fighters who took responsibility for the West Bank shooting said they did not agree with the cease-fire.

 

It is victory all over Islamic Palestine.  The fall of the Jewish town of Beit Hanoun in the Gaza may well have been Iwo Jima to the Palestinian culture. It is win at any cost. The use of the most dirty tricks, lying,  and even such inhuman tactics as the targeting of school children is cause for great rejoicing as long as victory can be claimed. The release of the animalistic blood thirsty shahid martyrs has gained the Palestinians a victory thanks to the gentile "Road Map."

The road to Islamic Palestinian victory is by using the gentile peace plan to continue the murder of the Jews. It is a tactic that has always worked in the past, and can be used every time the Jews begin besieging the blood thirsty terrorists. Every time Israel is about to crush the terrorists they cry cease-fire. The gentiles then put pressure on the Jews to back off! All that ever happens is the terrorists regroup, lick their wounds, and attack  again with even greater ferocity. It is a vicious cycle that will never end until the Holy Land is conquered by the Jews!

It is ironic that the Palestinians try to falsely claim Philistine heritage because they have no historical claim to the Holy Land. They are nothing more then Arab interlopers to be crushed if they refuse to submit. Their Philistine aspirations put them in a terrible Biblical position as the historical enemy of God! It is all part of how ridiculous this entire conflict has become when the Bible is left out of the picture.

The "Road Map" of the Bible makes no provision for the rebellious heathen Islamic hordes that put victory above everything. The Bible is clear that the final victory will be the LORD's. The building of the Third Jewish Holy Temple will signal that victory especially over the heathen of the Holy Land.

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

US-based missiles to have global reach

Allies to become less important as new generation of weapons enables America to strike anywhere from its own territory

Julian Borger in Washington
Tuesday July 1, 2003
The Guardian

The Pentagon is planning a new generation of weapons, including huge hypersonic drones and bombs dropped from space, that will allow the US to strike its enemies at lightning speed from its own territory.

Over the next 25 years, the new technology would free the US from dependence on forward bases and the cooperation of regional allies, part of the drive towards self-suffi ciency spurred by the difficulties of gaining international cooperation for the invasion of Iraq.

The new weapons are being developed under a programme codenamed Falcon (Force Application and Launch from the Continental US).

A US defence website has invited bids from contractors to develop the technology and the current edition of Jane's Defence Weekly reports that the first flight tests are scheduled to take place within three years.

According to the website run by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) the programme is aimed at fulfilling "the government's vision of an ultimate prompt global reach capability (circa 2025 and beyond)".

The Falcon technology would "free the US military from reliance on forward basing to enable it to react promptly and decisively to destabilising or threatening actions by hostile countries and terrorist organisations", according to the Darpa invitation for bids. The ultimate goal would be a "reusable hypersonic cruise vehicle (HCV) ... capable of taking off from a conventional military runway and striking targets 9,000 nautical miles distant in less than two hours".

The unmanned HCV would carry a payload of up to 12,000 lbs and could ultimately fly at speeds of up to 10 times the speed of sound, according to Daniel Goure, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute in Washington.

 

I'm convinced the antichrist will be in control 25 years from now (if not sooner). These plans for future weapons are systems that will be useful to the future leader of the Western World as he maneuvers himself to be king of the whole world. Peace (gentile peace) will be his greatest weapon as he subdues the world, but quick reprisal for any who would resist can make his peace irresistible. The targeting of individuals rather then nations would give every aspiring revolutionary about Two hours of influence. It sounds like a ready made system to rule the world is in the making. Another even worse then Hitler is standing in the wings waiting. It will be our united Western World Hitler who will offer the world a kingdom of democracy, and the freedom to sin. He will offer Arab oil wealth from Babylon, and Western World technology from Los Angeles to Berlin for all who will follow him to world peace. A peace without God. A peace without righteousness. A peace that is no peace. A peace that brings death to any who would resist.

The world is rushing to decision. Christ, or the antichrist! There will be no options. Men will be forced to submit to one, or the other! One is a liar who will turn on all who follow him. His offers of peace will be of the same sort as coming from the Islamic terrorists. Peace offers will  only be tools for victory. The antichrist will turn on the Arabs friendly to his cause. He will turn on all the religions who jump on his bandwagon. He will eat their flesh, and burn them with fire. He will turn on all the governments that put him into power. At the end he will turn on all of mankind having deceived them to their death.

Hitler turned on the German people at the end saying they were not worthy of his visionary leadership. So also will the antichrist look upon his kingdom at the end of the Great Tribulation!

P.A. Forces Take Control Of Bethlehem And Other Christian Areas
10:51 Jul. 02, '03 / 2 Tammuz 5763

The IDF handed over security control of the city of Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem, to Palestinian Authority forces this afternoon. This followed the formulation of the final details last night between the sides. IDF forces have not been stationed in Bethlehem for a while, but the IDF has announced that it will cease its patrols and periodic entries into the city. As of today, PA (Moslem) forces are also deployed in nearby Beit Jala and Beit Sahour, which, like Bethlehem, are largely Christian-populated.

Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler reports that the new deployment is "not such a big deal. Until now, the IDF has carried out only one or two daily patrols, and they have made no terrorist arrests of late. In any event, the encirclement around Bethlehem will remain and will even be thickened close to Jerusalem. A senior officer told me that the forces would be deployed such that they can return to Bethlehem within 25 minutes if they have to."

Rachel's Tomb will continue to be under Israeli control, as per the Oslo Accords. Israel rejected the PA demand to open the main Jerusalem-Gush Etzion highway to Arab traffic. The 40,000-strong force that will take over Bethlehem is under the control of Yasser Arafat, not Abu Mazen.

 

 

Ezekiel 40 - 48 is recognized by all conservative Bible Scholars as prophetic. The final disposition of Bethlehem and Judah is not going to be under Palestinian  control according to the Bible! The Palestinians have well sealed their fate with God when they hacked apart the pillar in Rachel's Tomb this year. Archaeology is not an exact science so the site of Rachel's Tomb can't be verified, but for lack of better evidence the historical site stands for the original.  The animalistic action taken by the wild Palestinians at the last time they controlled the ground upon which Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem is venerated reveals their condemnation. What they did to the stone pillar and the building is what they would do to every Jew were they to be given a free hand. It is a mistake to lift the siege on these blood thirsty animals who destroy 4000 year old artifacts because they are Jewish.

The latest transformation of the Tomb of Rachel, wife of Ya'acov and mother of Benyamin, began in 1995 after the Israeli Government contemplated handing over this holy site to Arafat and the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo Accords.

The secular Jewish government is little influenced by the Bible. Their concern is politics not God. The politics have caused them to give back Bethlehem to these wild Palestinians, but reality caused them to come short in turning over Rachel's Tomb. The Christian community that called Bethlehem home has now been reduced through intimidation by Arafat since Oslo by 60%. The Arabs now control Bethlehem, and the Christian sites such as the Church of Nativity will soon look like Rachel's Tomb once the wild animals are released again. The Apostate Christian denominations of Bethlehem have turned the other cheek to the Arabs while showing their contempt toward the Jews. I'm sure their fate is sealed as well.

The "Road Map" of God is not finished with Bethlehem. It was the birth place of David the King, and Jesus Christ the returning King! "There is hope in thine end," says the God of the Bible! Through this present lament there will come Jewish Kingdom victory. The hearts of the Jews will turn! The heathen will be vanquished!

 

Here's a brief look at the major geopolitical, historical, and diplomatic events from the last century relating to Israel.

1917 - Balfour Declaration - After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, British Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour declares: "His Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people."

1922 - British Mandate - After World War One, the League of Nations affirms the British Mandate to create two distinct entities in the territory both east and west of the Jordan River, one Arab and one Jewish. 78 percent of the original Mandate is then lopped off to create the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which is closed to Jewish settlement.

1929 - Arab riots - Arabs protest the growing Jewish presence in Palestine, murdering 133 Jews in Hebron and elsewhere, and pressuring the British to impose restrictions on Jewish prayer at the Western Wall.

1937 - Peel Commission - The British Peel Commission recommends that all the future Jewish state be confined to a tiny sliver of land along the Mediterranean coast and a small piece abutting the Sea of Galilee.

1939 - Immigration Quotas - In order to appease the Arabs, a British "White Paper" severely restricts Jewish immigration to the Holy Land to a token number for five years, even to the point of turning away boatloads of Jews fleeing Hitler.

1947 - U.N. Partition Plan - On November 29, 1947, the U.N. authorizes Resolution 181, calling for separate Arab and Jewish states west of the Jordan River. The plan is accepted by Israel, but rejected by the Arab League.

1948 - War of Independence - On May 15, 1948, following Ben-Gurion's Declaration of Independence, the armies of five Arab states join local Arab militias to invade Israel, with the goal of aborting the newly-declared state. Jordan conquers and annexes the "West Bank" (the lands heretofore called "Judea and Samaria" on all British mandate maps), expelling all Jews from the Old City of Jerusalem, and destroying 57 synagogues and Mount of Olives tombstones. One percent of the Israeli Jewish population is killed in the war.

1949 - Refugee Issue - In the ensuing war, approximately 650,000 Arabs flee Israel as refugees. In the war's aftermath, approximately 600,000 Jewish refugees flee from Arab countries, when massacres, arrests, and ostracism made life impossible. The Jewish refugees are integrated into Israeli life; the Arab refugees are placed in squalid camps by their Arab hosts, supported by the UNWRA.

1956 - Suez War - After Egypt blockades Israel's shipping and Nasser assumes command of the Syrian and Jordanian armies, Israel attacks Egypt and captures the Gaza Strip and much of the Sinai. International pressure forces Israel to withdraw without obtaining any concessions.

1964 - Palestine Liberation Organization - While Jordan and Egypt hold the "territories," the PLO forms with the goal of annihilating the State of Israel through violence and terror. In the ensuing years, a rash of airplane hijackings, bombings and the Munich Olympic Massacre bring the Palestinians media attention.

1967 - Six Day War - Egyptian President Nasser closes the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, and Syrian Defense Minister Hafez Assad declares that "the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation." Israel responds with a pre-emptive strike and captures the Golan Heights, West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Sinai Peninsula. Israel immediately offers to return the conquered land in exchange for peace. Meeting in Khartoum, the Arab League issues the infamous three noes: "No peace with Israel. No negotiations with Israel. No recognition of Israel."

1973 - Yom Kippur War - On the holiest day of the Jewish year, Egypt and Syria launch a surprise attack. In the Golan, 180 Israeli tanks face an onslaught of 1,400 Syrian tanks. Along the Suez Canal, 500 Israeli soldiers are attacked by 80,000 Egyptians. Israel suffers heavy casualties, but wins the war.

1978 - Camp David Accords - Egyptian President Anwar Sadat meets with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to negotiate a settlement. Israel agrees to return the entire Sinai Peninsula - constituting 80 percent of Israel's land mass - in exchange for normalization of relations with Egypt.

1993 - Oslo Accords - Following a historic handshake between Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat on the White House lawn, the Oslo accords call for Israeli recognition of the PLO, and a Palestinian commitment to cease violence and terror.

1994 - Peace with Jordan - King Hussein reverses decades of belligerence and signs a formal peace treaty with Israel. The treaty involves minor border changes, and includes a guaranteed supply of water by Israel to Jordan.

2000 - Palestinian Violence - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offers over 97 percent of the territories, including eastern Jerusalem, for the creation of a Palestinian state. Yasser Arafat refuses, and Palestinians launch thousands of violent attacks against Israeli targets. Six months after the violence begins, Ariel Sharon comes to power in a landslide victory.

2003 - Road Map - The international Quartet proposes a road map for peace, calling for an end to Palestinian violence and a limiting of Israeli settlement activity, as a precursor to an independent Palestinian state. Israeli and Palestinian leaders accept the road map in principle, triggering a new round of diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.

A Long Night Of Attacks; IDF Closes Route for "a Few" Hours
10:46 Jul. 03, '03 / 3 Tammuz 5763
 

8 bombs were fired at Kfar Darom and N'vei Dekalim yesterday and last night, 4 people were wounded, shots were fired at IDF soldiers several times - and the IDF responded by filing a complaint and briefly closing the Tancher Route for three hours this morning.

The attacks in the Gush Katif block in Gaza began around 4:30 PM yesterday with two mortar shells at Gadid, followed an hour later by another one at adjacent N'vei Dekalim; no one was hurt. Dozens of Gush Katif residents went out to protest the opening of the critical Tancher Route - via which terrorists smuggle arms, weapons and themselves from one end of Gaza to the other - and blocked it for a short while. Beginning at 11 PM, three more shells hit Kfar Darom at intervals of several minutes, with the intent of hitting the soldiers and civilians who came to comb the area and help the wounded. Three people - a husband and wife, and a 15-year-old boy - were lightly wounded by shrapnel, and were taken to Soroka Hospital in Ashkelon; a fourth victim was treated for shock at the site.

Around midnight, for the first time since the "hudna" cease-fire took effect, the IDF returned fire towards where it was assumed the rockets were fired. Quiet reigned for about four hours, until an anti-tank rocket was fired at an Israeli tank near Ganei Tal, and shortly afterwards, a mortar shell was fired and exploded in the area of an IDF base near N'vei Dekalim. Israeli forces returned fire and an exchange of fire ensued; no Israelis were hurt.

In response to the renewal of Palestinian hostilities, the IDF took the "extreme" move of closing the Tancher Route - for a few hours. Gaza Coast Regional Council spokesman Eran Sternberg told Arutz-7's Yosef Zalmanson today that the exact extent of the "punishment" is not known, but he decried the "cheap price exacted by the government for the wounding of four citizens." He said that "like a drug addict who simply cannot 'kick the habit,' the government continues to make the same mistakes time after time, ignoring terrorist crimes… In November 2000, in the midst of cease-fire talks, a security agent of Muhammad Dahlan murdered two Jews in the greenhouses near Kfar Darom - and Dahlan granted him a post-humus promotion. There was no serious reaction, and in fact Israel made some gestures towards the PA - and two days later Dahlan's men carried out the infamous Kfar Darom bus bombing, killing two teachers and blowing up the limbs of the three Cohen children. The same scenario is repeating itself now."

Asher Mivtzari of Kfar Darom told Zalmanson, "Just as the bus bombing three years ago was a well-coordinated attack, so too was last night's barrage, with mortar shells, anti-tank shells, and shootings. The first shell that wounded the four people hit very close to the grocery store, which once a week is open late; if it had inside the building, people could have been killed. What used to happen in these cases is that the army would go into the Arab areas and search out the terrorists. Now the army is relying on the Palestinian police, and submitted a complaint - leaving the Palestinians cracking up laughing…"

 

Here is the reality of the gentile road map to peace. It is a laughing matter to the 40,000 Palestinian police rushed into Bethlehem, and a laughing matter for the whole world! The one laughing the most is the antichrist now snickering in the wings somewhere. This is his kind of peace. It gives the blood thirsty murderers of Jewish families a free hand while tying the hands of the Jewish military.

Today, America celebrates Independence. We have released our military on the terrorists of Afghanistan and Iraq with great success. We did not tie their hands, but demanded they be brutal against all opposition. Why do we demand Israel be restricted when dealing with the Palestinian blood thirsty animals they face? It is no surprise that the EU, UN, and Russia would want the hands of the IDF tied with their own anti-Semitic background, but for the US to join with our history of fair play is an affront to this great day!

There is One who intends to apply His attributes to the present situation in the Holy Land. Freedom, Democracy, Fair Play will all take second fiddle to Righteousness as revealed in the Bible. The King of Righteousness is about to establish His Kingdom. In one glorious day it will all change! The snickering and laughter will be wiped from the faces of the proud, and lofty who have lifted themselves up. Never again will independence be considered a virtue, but humble submission to the God of all glory will be the pursuit of all in the next dispensation. Slavery will be the virtue that all men will seek. Servants of the coming King will rejoice for the privilege of obeying every wish of the one who loves us more then a brother. It will be a great day when all of mankind is brought low. When we all give up our freedom to sin, and willingly submit to the coming King of Glory.

 

Isa 31:4

4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

Whose Yesha?
16:30 Jul. 04, '03 / 4 Tammuz 5763

The U.S. State Department does not recognize that the Six Day War ever occurred - or at least so it seems from a map of Israel on its website.

The Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs section features a map that looks like it was printed between 1948 and 1967. Gaza is the same color as Egypt, and the area it refers to as the "West Bank" is the same color as Jordan. As opposed to the Golan Heights, clearly noted as "Israeli-occupied" (the area was annexed by Israel in the 1980's), Judea, Samaria and Gaza are clearly indicated as being distinct from Israel. Subtext on the bottom indicates that these areas are "Israeli-occupied," implying that they were officially part of another recognized sovereign country.

In fact, however, Judea and Samaria are unallocated portions of the Mandate for Palestine, and though occupied by Jordan until 1967, were recognized as such by only two countries in the world - Pakistan and Great Britain. The State Department map implies that Israel has no legal claims on these areas. However, over ten years ago, Eugene W. Rostow, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and former Dean of the Yale Law School, wrote in The New Republic that this is not true. Excerpts from Rostow's work:

It is common even for American journalists to write that [United Nations] Resolution 242 is "deliberately ambiguous," as if the parties are equally free to rely on their own reading of its key provisions.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Resolution 242, which as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs between 1966 and 1969, I helped produce, calls on the parties to make peace and allows Israel to administer the territories it occupied in 1967 until "a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" is achieved. When such a peace is made, Israel is required to withdraw its armed forces "from territories" it occupied during the Six-Day War - not from "the" territories, nor from "all" the territories, but some of the territories...
Five-and-a-half months of vehement public diplomacy made it perfectly clear what the missing definite article in Resolution 242 means. Ingeniously drafted resolutions calling for withdrawals from "all" the territories were defeated in the Security Council and the General Assembly. Speaker after speaker made it explicit that Israel was not to be forced back to the "fragile" and "vulnerable" Armistice Demarcation Lines, but should retire once peace was made to what Resolution 242 called "secure and recognized" boundaries agreed to by the parties. In negotiating such agreement, the parties should take into account, among other factors, security considerations, access to the international waterways of the region, and, of course, their respective legal claims.
...The heated question of Israel settlements in the West Bank during the occupation period should be viewed in this perspective. The British Mandate recognized the right of the Jewish People to "close settlement" in the whole of the Mandated territory. It was provided that local conditions might require Great Britain to "postpone" or "withhold" Jewish settlement in what is now Jordan. This was done in 1922. But the Jewish right of settlement in Palestine, west of the Jordan River, that is in Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, was made unassailable. That right has never been terminated, and cannot be terminated except by a recognized peace between Israel and its neighbors. And perhaps not even then, in view of Article 80 of the UN Charter, "the Palestine Article," which provides that nothing in the Charter shall be construed… to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments…"
...Some governments have taken the view that under the Geneva Convention of 1949, which deals with the rights of civilians under military occupation, Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal, on the ground that the Convention prohibits an occupying power from flooding the occupied territory with its own citizens. President Carter supported this view, but President Reagan reversed him, specifically saying that the settlements are legal but that further settlements should be deferred since they pose an obstacle to the peace process.... [Reagan] said, "I have personally followed and supported Israel's heroic struggle for survival since the founding of the state of Israel thirty-four years ago: in the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile Arab armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again."
Yet some Bush [Sr.] administration statements and actions on the Arab-Israeli question... betray[ed] a strong impulse to escape from the Resolutions as they were negotiated, debated, and adopted, and award to the Arabs all the territories between the 1967 lines and the Jordan River, including East Jerusalem. The Bush [Sr.] administration seem[ed] to consider the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to be "foreign" territory to which Israel has no claim. Yet the Jews have the same right to settle there as they have to settle in Haifa. The West Bank and the Gaza Strip were never parts of Jordan, and Jordan's attempt to annex the West Bank was not generally recognized and has now been abandoned. The two parcels of land are parts of the Mandate that have not yet been allocated to Jordan, to Israel, or to any other state, and are a legitimate subject for discussion…

 

I suppose the fact that an Israeli State is even on a gentile map is a victory. Arab map makers exclude the State of Israel altogether. It seems to me this is like the ostrich hiding it's head in the sand. God has given the Jews sovereignty over all of Judah, Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount since 1967. It is dangerous for the gentile world to deny this reality. The Arabs with blood thirsty vengeance attacked, and lost! Now, the cry babies want the gentile world to pressure Israel to give them back the land from which they used to murder Jews with a free hand. It is not theirs anymore!

The Israeli secular politicians are easily intimidated by this gentile controlled world. They are always ready to aqueous to the gentles even over heart and home. It will take a far more visionary Jewish movement looking to the God of their fathers as their strength before the next Jewish Temple will be built. A movement back to the Bible will cause many to understand how  significant the land that the secular Jews are willing to give away really is to God, and His future plan for Israel. This present government that bows to the gentile pressure is not the government that will build the Third Holy Jewish Temple. Hearts must change. Visionaries must lift up the Bible as the only "Road Map" that is relevant within this post 1967 Jewish world.

God does not intend that we go about with our head in the sand. He has given the Jews sovereignty over the Holy Land in this our generation.  Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are Jewish for the first time in 2000 years. The secular Jews are blind today. That will all change quickly. The next great event in Jewish history will be the building of the Third Jewish Temple in the face of great gentile opposition. It will take Jews with greater resolve then what is presently available. It will take Christians with greater understanding of the Bible to oppose the "Gentile Road Map." This is the generation that is in need of dispensational change on all sides!

Explosions at a Moscow Rock Festival Kill at Least 16

By MICHAEL WINES and SABRINA TAVERNISE

MOSCOW, July 5 — Two explosions ripped through the entrances to a suburban Moscow rock festival on a balmy summer afternoon today, killing at least 16 people and wounding as many as 20 more. The government blamed suicide bombers for the blasts.

The explosions were the first major terrorist act in Russia's capital since Islamic militants took hundreds of hostages at a Moscow musical theater in October. They appeared to fit a growing pattern of suicide bombings, often by women, which have struck both government and civilian targets in and around the province of Chechnya in the last seven months.

Interior Minister Boris V. Gryzlov, the chief law-enforcement official in Russia, said that women had detonated two bombs and that documents on one woman's body indicated that she was from Chechnya.

The Interfax news agency reported later that one woman was identified as Zalikhan Elikhadzhiyeva, a Chechen villager born in 1983.

About 30,000 fans were at the Tushino Aerodrome, a north Moscow airfield, for an annual festival called Wings when the first bomb went off outside a festival ticket office at about 2:45 p.m.

By the second explosion, about 10 minutes later, the airfield's outskirts were a grisly tableau of blood and body parts, and the police had begun to seal off the field from thousands of concertgoers who, unaware of the blasts, were still trying to get in.

Mr. Gryzlov said the women had apparently detonated their bombs after being stopped by guards who were searching fans entering the airfield, which is enclosed by a tall black wrought-iron fence.

 

The goal of the Islamic Chechnyan terrorists is to establish an Islamic Republic North of the Caucasus Mountains.  The Bible predicts an invasion of Israel spearheaded by the Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal (Moscow and Tubalsk) to take place in the latter years. There is no better prospect for that Chief Prince today other then these rebellious Chechnyans! These Chechnyans are the Chief Prince of the Russian Gog of Bible infamy should we truly be in the latter years.

Everything happening in the world today by the Islamic militants is aimed at one irreversible end predicted in the Bible. That end is in the fields and upon the mountains of Israel! Their blood and body parts will be horrifically ripped apart by the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the field as they feast on the God of the Bible's sacrifice for them. It will be a deserved death for all the hate this Islamic culture has nurtured primarily against the Jews. New York and Moscow have been victims only because they obstruct giving these blood thirsty murderers a free hand to attack their primary target. This extreme hate by Islam has a beginning. It came with the establishment of the State of Israel. It was nurtured by every failed attempt to drive the Jewish State into submission or annihilation. The State of Israel has only frustratingly grown in power indicating it will never submit to an Islamic dominated Middle East. This Islamic hate will reach a climax in the latter days.

God has a plan that is contrary to Islamic visions for the Middle East. The Holy Land dominated by Jews will be center to the coming Kingdom. Islam is motivated by hate to oppose this plan to the death. The only "Road Map" that is unfolding with predictable advancement is the one found in the Bible!

Terrorist Organizations Using "Cease-Fire" to Best Advantage
12:02 Jul. 06, '03 / 6 Tammuz 5763

Israeli intelligence organs warn that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are utilizing the current "hudna" period to raise money and enlist members, and that within 2-3 months, they will have rebuilt their terrorist capacities.
 

IDF Intelligence and the General Security Service have prepared a report warning that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are utilizing the current "hudna" period to raise money and enlist members, and that within 2-3 months, they will have rebuilt their terrorist capacities. Ynet reports today, in the name of a military source, that the achievements of last year's Operation Defensive Shield and Operation Determined Stand - the dismantling of the terrorist infrastructures and hierarchies - are gravely threatened. The source said that we will soon identify new terror cells, explosives labs, and engineers, and that they will be ready to take action at the slightest
"provocation." This could mean the end of the peace negotiations, "because they will be able to perpetrate a large wave of attacks, and we will be forced to retaliate with full force."

GSS head Avi Dichter said that Israel cannot agree to a hudna of more than a month unless concrete actions are taken to disarm the terrorist organizations.

The report also bemoans the fear of "cities of refuge" - PA-controlled cities where wanted terrorists can hide from the IDF - and the fact that the PA continues not to take action against the terrorist organizations.

 

 

This gentile road map is a one-sided farce giving full advantage to the terrorists, and no advantage to the Israeli military. The Biblical answer to the last two occupations of the Holy Land by the Jews was to besiege those who made war with them. It should also hold true for this third occupation. Every occupation has always been with the intent to conquer. Every occupation has been opposed by the gentiles. It should be no surprise that there is opposition, and conflict to this third miraculous occupation by the Jews. The lifting of the siege every time the Palestinians begin to squirm only prolongs the conflict. False peace or "hudna" in Arabic is the tactic of dirty tricks used to assure victory at any cost. "Is" does not mean "is" to this morally corrupt culture that parses every word by Allah's blessing so that dirty is clean when a Moslem gives his word to an infidel. It will not be Islam, but the God of the Bible who will impose His true righteous virtue on the whole world through Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount.

The truth of the matter is the Holy Land belongs to God. He administers who will occupy and conquer. It is by His strength alone that victory is accomplished. The Lord God of this generation did not give the Holy Land to Islam, or the Christian Denominations!  He gave it to the Jews! It is this God who has brought the Jews this third time to their Promised Land. This time God's chosen King will not be rejected. The Land is the only place where Israel can find acceptance for their offerings and oblations. This time it will be in remembrance of their Suffering Savior. It will come on one and only one Holy Mountain where Israel will reach perfect acceptance with the God of their fathers finding perfect redemption through their Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ! This Christ will not be a second class prophet to Mohamed, or the apostate gentile Christ of the Christian Denominations. He will be the Jewish Christ that He always has been. The Christ of the fundamentalists who have stood apart from the main streams because the Bible was their guide, and not the traditions of men. Only the spirit of true fundamentalism has the patients to wait, and to see what the Jews are going to become when real redemption comes. We wait for that glorious day when we will all be united as brothers, and set apart from all the hypocrisy and apostasy of this present generation.

GAZA FORCES ARREST, THEN RELEASE WOULD-BE SUICIDE BOMBER

Palestinian security forces said that they had detained and later released to her family an 18-year-old woman planning a suicide bombing in Israel, according to media reports Monday.
The arrest, not far from Gaza City took place near a known weak-spot in the Gaza seam-line where it is believed the suspect planned to infiltrate into Israel proper to carry out a bombing.

It was the first such arrest by Palestinian forces since Israel withdrew its troops from much of Gaza last week placing responsibility for halting attacks on the Palestinian Authority forces stationed there.

The PA said that forces started searching for the woman after she left a note with her family announcing her intention to carry out a suicide bombing, detaining her briefly before releasing her back to them. Palestinian officials are continuing to investigate whether or not she was linked to one of three major terror groups who are signatories to the temporary three-month 'hudna' - or ceasefire.

The arrest is not the first by Palestinian security officials of possible terrorist attackers. Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Sunday that the PA twice arrested people last week thought to be conducting mortar and rocket attacks against Israelis. Those people were later released, however, Mofaz said. Israel remains cautious concerning whether such arrests really demonstrate Palestinian intentions for a serious terror crackdown or not.

Israel has demanded that the Palestinian Authority crack down on terrorists before it moves forward on troop withdrawals from other Palestinian areas under its control.

The IDF withdrew from parts of the Gaza Strip and the Judean town of Bethlehem as part of a security agreement hammed out with the PA last week. Although Jerusalem has insisted that further pull-backs depend on a Palestinian terror crackdown, reports from Hebron over the weekend indicate that the IDF is quietly scaling down its presence in the city - widely regarded as the most explosive in the disputed territories.

Orlev: More Prisoners To Be Released
11:52 Jul. 07, '03 / 7 Tammuz 5763

Despite the Israeli Cabinet decision yesterday to release 355 PA prisoners in the near future, sources in Hamas, Islamic Jihad and even the PA itself threaten that if Israel does not release all of 6,000 Palestinian prisoners - including murderers - the Road Map negotiations, and the hudna, will end.
 

 

I wonder what would motivate the Palestinian Police to change their arrest and release policy while Israel is preparing to release many of the terrorists they have arrested? This gentile road map goes beyond the reason of any who speak of peace. The politics of this gentile peace plan are beyond reason!

There will be no politics in the kingdom. There will be iron rod rule. Any who know how the human political system works understands why iron rod rule will be necessary. They will not only understand, but will welcome righteous rule with set standards rather then this absolute chaos called a road to peace.

Only God knows how to properly govern His own Land. The rules of righteousness will be equally applicable to Jew as well as the good gentile who dwell there. Any bad gentile, or rebellious Jew will find no quarter from the puritanical King who will rule the Holy Land for 1000 years.  All who dare to reject His mercy will find the rod of righteous wrath their immediate, and just consequence. They will not be allowed to let sin destroy His righteous peace. Today, there are entire nations that reject the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Billions reject the testimony of the Bible, and have no intent to ever consider the mercy offered by the God of all creation to a  planet dieing in it's own sin. It would be a victory of sin were this gentile road map allowed to lead to a final destination. The Bible says Christ will be the victor, and sin will be vanquished. It is all going to happen in the Holy Land (Israel), at Jerusalem, and upon the Temple Mount. The Bible is clear it will be the LORD of hosts of Israel who will accomplish this great victory. It will only be those who submit to the LORD of hosts working on behalf of Israel, Jerusalem, and the Third Holy Jewish Temple who will be victorious on that day when God's road map to peace reaches the final destination!

Analysis: Shihab-3 'very bad news'
By MATTHEW GUTMAN
 

After years of development, Iran on Monday confirmed that the Shihab-3 ballistic missile, capable of reaching Israel, has undergone its "final testing" and is to go into production.

What appears to be the successful test of the Shihab-3 only confirms what Israeli intelligence officials have warned in increasingly strident language: Iran is the greatest strategic threat to Israel.

"This is very bad news for us," a senior IDF source said Monday night. "It means that Iran now has the capability to deliver a warhead to virtually any location in Israel."

He explained that missiles themselves pose little strategic threat, but, aside from its development of nuclear weapons, Iran has a potent arsenal of chemical and biological weapons that could be delivered by the missiles.

While some Iranian opposition groups disputed the success of the latest Shihab trial the first Shihab-3 was launched with minor success in July 1998 Israeli intelligence confirms that the rocket was launched and landed 1,300 km. away, just as Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.

The missile is partially based on North Korea's No Dong missile, a variation on the Scud, originally designed in the Soviet Union.

"Trust me," the source said, "it is no coincidence that the missile was designed for a range of 1,300 kilometers just enough to hit all of Israel."

He noted that "Iran is working as quickly as possible to finish developing a nuclear device."

Current IDF estimates are that Iran might produce a nuclear weapon in two to three years.

"Syria still poses a greater military and strategic threat to us," the source said, "but it is Iran's ideological imperative of destroying Israel which could be so unhealthy for us."

The intelligence community has difficulty deciphering Iranian logic and propaganda. While it knows whose finger rests on or near the "button," the source said it is hard to gauge under what circumstances it could be pressed.

According to a diplomatic source in Jerusalem, the wild card in Iran's nuclear gambit is Russia. While it placates the US by promising to curb its nuclear aid to Iran, Russia finds it nearly impossible to forgo the billions of dollars that could be pumped into its economy should the deal go through. Nor is it interested in losing the billions it has already invested in the project.

Foreign Ministry sources say Israel is shackled in its ability to react and prefers to let the international community pressure the Iranians diplomatically if possible, militarily if necessary into giving up their nuclear program.

Israel considers the application of American and now British pressure on Iran its ace in the hole. "We don't want to lead this fight," said a Foreign Ministry source.

BUSH URGES U.S.-AFRICAN COOPERATION

Despite painful shared history, Bush said the United States and African nations must work together to eradicate disease and war, and to encourage greater business ties.
       “We know that these challenges can be overcome because history moves in the direction of justice,” Bush said.
       Bush stood with Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, who said African nations need help building their economies so they can overcome slavery’s legacy.
 

 

The Russian Gog is totally entwined in the Islamic future plans for the Holy Land. The rockets, and now the nuclear warheads within 3 years all make Russian participation noteworthy. The advance of technology now flowing into Islamic hands makes the time frame short. Islam has nurtured an entire generation since the establishment of the Jewish State of Israel to hate with a blood thirsty animalistic nature. Advanced technology has been Israel's deterrent to a Jihad invasion by this billion strong culture, but the technological days of advantage are running out thanks to the Russian Gog.

It will be the "Chief Prince" of the Gog that will lead the Northern prong of the 3 pronged last Jihad invasion of Israel as described in Ezekiel 38 & 39. I'm convinced this will be the Islamic part of the old USSR. Islam is putting full pressure on Russia to let the Russian Moslems North of the Caucasus Mountains have a free hand to lead such an attack.

Iran is the Eastern prong poised to follow the lead of their Northern brothers. This is a totally Islamic operation. The Russian Gog is entwined, but able to be "hands off" where present world politics would demand they remain.

Africa is the Southern prong, and American involvement seems aimed at keeping mostly Christian Central and South Africa out of the fray. Only North Africa is indicated as part of the last Jihad invasion of Israel according to Ezekiel. North Africa has clearly been left out of the present Bush visit. All of Bush's comments on African and US cooperation leave out the Islamic North Africans. This is all in keeping with an exclusive Islamic Jihad coming invasion of Israel.

It is clear the time is getting short. The unbelievable advance of technology during this generation of the computer makes dispensational change paramount.  Sin run amuck will destroy mankind if God does not intervene. It will be in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and upon the Temple Mount that change will take place!

The last Jihad lead by the Islamic  "Chief Prince" at the beginning of the Great Tribulation opens the door to the building of the Third Holy Jewish Temple. It will mean the end of all Islamic influence over the Holy Land. The final destruction of the Gog at the end of the Great Tribulation as part of Armageddon is a sensible time frame for these coming invasions of Israel.

Sharon welcomes 330 new immigrants from North America

By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press

An El Al chartered flight carrying 330 new immigrants which took off from New York late Tuesday arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday morning. Among the dignitaries who were at the airport to greet them were Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Jewish Agency Chairman Sallai Meridor and Minister of Immigrant Absorption, Tzipi Linvi.

Sharon greeted the new arrivals with a hearty "Welcome home!"  "We always need you, and we need you now more than ever," added the PM. "Israel is the place for Jews to live as Jews. We need you, and we need many more like you."

Sharon told the new immigrants that immigration is Israel's top priority, even ahead of peace and security.

The flight is the first of two that is to bring to Israel a total of 700 new immigrants within the course of the month.

Michael Landsberg, executive director of the Jewish Agency's North American aliyah movement said that only 30 percent of the immigrants plan to settle in the territories, while most will live in the heart of the country. Israel's ambassador to Washington Danny Ayalon met with the immigrants before they left for Israel.

Tali Berman was born in America, but she said she was flying home - to Israel. "We're Jewish, and it feels like home," said Berman, 27, who was "making aliyah" (immigrating to Israel) with husband Joshua and their 15-month-old daughter.

About 2,040 North American Jews moved to Israel last year, and the numbers are up more than 20 percent this year, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel, a governmental agency that helps the immigration process.

Agency officials say some Jews feel compelled to move to Israel to show their support for the country as it faces an increase in violence in its conflict with the Palestinians.

"It's the feeling of the community that this time Israel is really needing them," Landsberg said.

 

It is for good. The end of this present return of Jews to the Holy Land will be for good! The Jews of Israel are about to turn. God has said He will circumcise their hearts! The Bible says this is the generation that will turn back to the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul! The Bible will be lifted up as their only guide to personal behavior, to government, to proper acceptable worship, and to their future.

Many are settling onto land designated by the gentile road map for the heathen Palestinian State. This move can only escalate the present conflict, yet it will be for good! 1967 was a pivotal year for the occupation. Judah, Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount all came under Jewish sovereignty. Now, occupation must change into conquest. The only future for any who live on these lands whether Palestinian or Jew will be in submission to the God of the Bible with all their heart, and with all their soul! There will be no other options! The Land belongs to God, and He is determining who will live on it!

The Bible is clear it will be the Jew first, and then any others. God will make no provision for the rebellious this time! The next dispensation will center in Judah, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. All that became possible in 1967! Now, the Jews must conquer as they did in both the other occupations recorded in the Bible. Thirty-six years have passed with little action. Last time it took the prophet Haggai to motivate the conquest and building of the Second Holy Jewish Temple. This generation will need Two Prophets as described in Revelation chapter 11 to accomplish the task of conquering, and building the Third Holy Jewish Temple! The time is short. The call to obey must be near!

EU constitutional convention signs final draft, urges leaders to keep it intact

CONSTANT BRAND, Associated Press Writer

(07-10) 07:17 PDT BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) --

After 16 months of arduous negotiations, framers of the European Union's first constitution finalized their draft charter Thursday but failed to settle differences over how much power national governments would cede to Brussels.

Those differences, notably in taxation, foreign policy and immigration, are to be addressed in talks among representatives of member governments that begin in October in Italy.

Former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who chaired the European Convention that drafted the charter, urged EU leaders not to make substantial changes in the "fragile compromise" reached by the 105 delegates.

"The consensus reached ... far from being the lowest common denominator, represents the maximum that could be achieved," he said. "I launch an appeal to politicians in Europe: Citizens say yes to our constitution. Do not respond by saying no."

The constitution is supposed to streamline decision-making in the EU when it expands from 15 to 25 members in May. Among other things, it calls for an EU president to replace the current presidency, which rotates among the 15 members every six months.

It also calls for an EU foreign minister and expands the number of decisions that can be made by majority voting, rather than being subject to veto by individual governments.

During the Thursday meeting, the 27th and last session of the Convention, delegates added last-minute changes enshrining an official EU flag, anthem, motto, currency and official Europe Day to the constitution.

They also agreed to set up an EU diplomatic service based at EU headquarters in Brussels, to back up the new EU foreign minister.

But delegates failed to resolve the divisive issue of extending majority voting. Several governments want to retain th
