David's Mighty Men
2 Sam 23:10
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.
The Victory is in the Building of the Temple
1 Chron 29:6-16
6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.

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!
Rev 17:12-18
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Mic 5:2
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

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

19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

Matt 2:16-18
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
KJV
Jer 31:15-25
15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

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.
The Day of the LORD
Isa 13:6-11
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

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!
The Third Holy Jewish Temple
Psalms 2
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Ezek 39:1,2
39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

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!
The End of Islam
Ezek 38:8
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
KJV
Ezek 38:15
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
KJV
Ezek 39:4-8
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
KJV
Ezek 39:17-22
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

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.

41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

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 5763Despite 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'
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.

3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

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!

For Good
Deut 30:1-9
30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

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 the right to veto decisions in foreign policy, taxation and immigration.
France at the last minute won a "cultural exemption" by keeping its national veto in culture and audiovisual policy. France feared that without the veto, foreign competition would weaken the French entertainment industry, which struggles against an English-language onslaught.
Several delegates, however, criticized the final draft, saying it went too far in subjugating national sovereignty.
"Congratulations on the new superstate," said Danish lawmaker Jens Peter Bonde.
Other delegates defended the draft as good for Europe.
"This convention is a success story," said German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, who represented his country on the panel. Fischer said the constitution was "a historic compromise that will make the European Union of 25 able to function and more transparent. That will move European democracy forward."
During the October talks, several countries, including Belgium and the Netherlands, are likely to keep pushing for majority voting in foreign policy. Austria and Luxembourg oppose a EU president, fearing small countries will end up sidelined.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair warned he would block any transfer of "sovereign rights" to the EU in areas like foreign policy, taxation or immigration.
Opponents of the veto say it leads to paralysis in decision-making, especially once the EU expands.
If approved, the constitution would mark the biggest single overhaul of the EU in its 46-year history.
Among other things, the constitution provides for a bill of rights guaranteeing freedom of speech and religion as well as rights to life, shelter, education, collective labor bargaining and fair working conditions.
Officials said during the 16 months, some 6,000 amendments were submitted by delegates -- including 1,700 just before the final session.
After EU leaders approve the constitution, it must be ratified by legislatures of all member states and by the European Parliament. The goal is for the constitution to take effect by the end of 2005.
The desire of unity without God has been around since the Tower of Babble. The method God choose to stop such unholy alliances has proved effective for all these thousands of years. Even today, the French are effectively slowing the process because of the irritant of English overriding French in their entertainment industry. Even today, language prevents ungodly men from forming unions useful only to the Devil himself.
God's plan is for a Kingdom ruled by righteousness. Satan's plan is for a united democracy of evil giving man the freedom to sin (now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do). The United States based democracy on trust in God. Today, the forces of evil are doing all they can to remove God from all aspects of government. The goal is someday to remove God so unity with the Europeans will be possible. The man of sin is standing in the wings ready to lead the world to Armageddon as the Beast of the Bible.
The constitution for the EU is intended to unite men for financial gain. It is based on worldliness without the need for God. It will end crushed at the feet of God's coming Kingdom. It will be as great a disaster as the fall of the original plan for the Tower of Babble!
The Beast
Dan 7:8-15
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Pres. Truman On the Jews
14:31 Jul. 11, '03 / 11 Tammuz 5763The Washington Post reported today (Friday) that US President Harry S. Truman, generally regarded as having been supportive of Jewish aspirations in Israel, as well as concerned to relieve the suffering of Jewish refugees in post-WWII Europe, had some very unkind thoughts about Jews.
This according to a Truman diary only recently, and serendipitously, discovered on the shelves of the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, reports the Post.
"The Jews, I find are very, very selfish," Truman wrote in a 1947 diary entry. "They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as D[isplaced] P[ersons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog. Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes." After a conversation with Treasury Secretary Henry Morganthau, a Jew, about a ship carrying Jewish refugees to pre-state Israel, Truman wrote, "He’d no business, whatever to call me. The Jews have no sense of proportion nor do they have any judgement on world affairs. Henry brought a thousand Jews to New York on a supposedly temporary basis and they stayed."
The Washington Post reports the reaction of Sara J. Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Wow! It did surprise me because of what I know about Truman's record, Truman's sympathy for the plight of Jews was very apparent." But, Bloomfield told the Post, Truman’s comments were "typical of a sort of cultural anti-Semitism that was common at that time in all parts of American society. This was an acceptable way to talk."
It is no "Wow" to me. It is also not cultural anti-Semitism. It is a true miracle that the State of Israel was founded in the aftermath of the great gentile Second World War. God had overridden all the Satanic anti-Semitism of world leaders at the end of the last generation to force this generation to deal with the third miraculous occupation of the Holy Land by the Jews. It was never part of any gentile plan to deal with a Jewish Kingdom that would compete for control of all governmental, and religious dominance of the planet. This is the real source of anti-Semitism in a world now dominated by the gentiles. God has dispensational change purposed for this generation.
Today, gentile anti-Semitism has moved the entire culture to check Jewish sovereignty over the Holy Land by forming a heathen Palestinian State in Judah, and Samaria. The city of Jerusalem will be divided forever giving the Palestinians Land they could never conquer on their own. The entire gentile world culture is now challenging the God of the Bible. The planet is rushing toward the greatest conflict of all time! The Great Tribulation, and Armageddon are the future for the gentile "Road Map."
Nothing can change God's plan for a Jewish Kingdom, and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is willing to sacrifice the entire gentile world for His coming Kingdom. All the anti-Semitism of the gentiles must be abandoned for a world wide Jewish culture! The coming Kingdom will have only one King. There will only be one government. There will only be one religion.
God has always known the Jews were a stiff-necked people, but by His sovereignty He chose them above all others. They have been blinded for disobedience, but never abandoned. The prodigal son is coming home in this our generation! It is all centered in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount! It is the Kingdom of David coming to this generation!
Ps 89:19-37
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

ARAFAT PURGES FATAH RANKS OF ABBAS LOYALISTS
"Abu Mazen is betraying the interests of the Palestinian people," PA chairman Yasser Arafat has told UN envoy Terje Larsen, leveling an unexpectedly "ferocious" assault on his long-time number two and serving prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).
For a week, Fatah hardliners have been ratcheting up the criticism of Abbas, a co-founder with Arafat of the dominant movement within the PLO. Abbas has threatened to resign both from Fatah and as prime minister on Monday, accusing Arafat loyalists of undermining his authority. Neither resignation has yet been accepted as pressure from the US, EU and Egypt has grown on Arafat to resolve the crisis.
Arafat, however, appears intent on pressing his perceived advantage over Abbas, who has been weakened in Palestinian eyes by his conciliatory attitude to Israel and failure to secure widespread terrorist prisoner releases.
On Wednesday night, the veteran PLO leader set about overhauling the Fatah movement in the territories in response to the crisis. The implementation of the plan to which Arafat has allocated $1.5 million, was discussed in an emergency meeting of the party's revolutionary council, which he chaired Wednesday night.
PA officials said the changes are aimed at "reorganizing" Fatah and replacing veteran activists. But others suggest it constitutes a clear and premeditated attempt by Arafat to tighten his grip on power and purge supporters of Abbas and his closest ally, PA Security Chief Muhammad Dahlan.
Despite a decades-old rivalry with Abbas, the young and influential Dahlan appears to be the intended target of Arafat's latest rouse, having secured control of all PA security services under a unified command, (as stipulated in the roadmap peace plan), and leaving Arafat and his allies out in the cold.
The reorganization will strengthen the powers of PA District governors, giving them ultimate responsibility for security matters, and requiring them to report to Arafat, not Dahlan. To top it all, former Interior Minister, Hani al-Hassan, ousted by Abbas and replaced by Dahlan against Arafat's wishes has been put in charge of implementing the changes.
Arafat's latest move has prompted some Israeli security officials to speak of "the need to remove him totally from the picture," since he poses, in their eyes, the greatest single obstacle to peace, (see yesterday's featured article.)
It is unclear, however, how backers of the roadmap in Washington and Brussels will react to Arafat's ambitions to undo the very elements of Palestinian reform that enabled the "peace" process to begin in the first place. The evidence from the Oslo years, where the international community routinely ignored Arafat's non-compliance, is not encouraging.
Meanwhile the 6000 or so Palestinian security prisoners who have ensured that they remain central to negotiations are very much aware of the strength of their position, behind bars as well as outside, according to today's Ha'aretz. "I am more important in my neighborhood than Abu Mazen, and he (pointing to a friend) - his word goes further in his camp than Dahlan's," the paper quoted a senior Palestinian "activist" as saying.
They respect Arafat as the "symbol of the struggle," but see fellow prisoner and folk hero Marwan Barghouti - on trial in Tel Aviv for multiple terrorist related murder charges, as their real leader. More than Dahlan, Arafat fears Barghouti as posing the most real threat to his leadership. As for Abbas - the prisoners recognize he offers them their best chance of freedom, but feel Israel's refusal to release them is humiliating and weakening him.
"When Marwan speaks, he is listened to," one prisoner told Ha'aretz. "Only his letter from prison persuaded the Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to sign the hudna," he continued.

Here are two men who hate each other as they both strive for power and control. Both are the enemies of God! The peace they represent is a peace based on Israel relinquishing sovereignty over Judah, Samaria, and Jerusalem which includes the Temple Mount! Sovereignty that God gave the Jews in 1967! Sovereignty that the Palestinians have no ability on their own to resist. It is only in collusion with the wider gentile powers that these evil men have the ability to stand against the Biblical "Road Map" for the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount! Arafat has already been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize negating everything that reasonable people would associate to the word peace. I would suppose Abbas will be the next recipient of this gentile concept of peacemaker? This man who wrote a book claiming the holocaust is nothing more then Jewish propaganda! Both men teach the world that Jewish Temples on the Temple Mount are nothing more then Jewish propaganda. The Bible becomes a book of lies under their peace plan.
The world pays little attention to the hate these antagonists have in their hearts offering them instead the most prestigious prize available. Wait, for there are two Jews coming who will offer the world another peace through the construction of the Third Holy Jewish Temple! Watch, as the world goes crazy in condemnation of such a proposal. These two Jewish Prophets from Jerusalem will offer the world real peace through the God of the Bible. I'm sure the world courts will never offer them a Nobel peace prize, but rather try them as criminals of the darkest hue for wreaking the gentile "Road Map."
It should be abundantly clear that the gentile world is going one direction while the God of the Bible is going in another! Conflict is inevitable as the world rushes toward the Great Tribulation and Armageddon!
Israel's hope has never been, nor ever will be in the gentiles. Israel's hope is only in the LORD their God! They must turn before real peace is offered to the whole world through them!

Iraq's new governing council holds first meeting
A governing council bringing together prominent Iraqis from all walks of political and religious life met Sunday for the first time, a first step on the nation's path to democracy, US and Iraqi officials said.
The panel will have real political muscle, with the power to name ministers and approve the 2004 budget, but final control of Iraq still rests with US administrator L. Paul Bremer.
"The launch of the Governing Council will mean that Iraqis play a more central role in running their country," Bremer said in a speech on Iraqi television on Saturday. "It will represent the diversity of Iraq: whether you are Shiite or Sunni, Arab or Kurd, Baghdadi or Basrawi, man or woman, you will see yourself represented in this council."
The council was expected to hold its meetings in a building that once belonged to Iraq's powerful Military Industrialization Authority, part of a complex where Iraq's rubber-stamp parliament used to meet under Saddam Hussein.
A formal announcement about the meeting and the makeup of the council was expected later Sunday.
The panel was selected after more than two months of consultations. One of its first goals will be to convince the Iraqi people that it represents them, despite the fact they never had a chance to vote on its members. Coalition leaders say an election in Iraq is not yet practical.
Iraq is quickly becoming a back-burner news item. I've noticed a drop in interest on my own web page once the war wound down. Iraq is not on the back-burner according to the Biblical Road Map. Babylon is destine to be the financial center of the Western World under the antichrist. It is hard to picture these primitive governing councils as soon controlling the economy of the whole world. I once lived in Butte, Montana where the Copper Barons of Butte for a moment in history controlled the wealth of the world. The price of copper from Butte dictated the world's economy when the whole world was being wired with the advent of the telegraph and telephone. The same is about to happen in Babylon. It will not be copper, but oil that will for this moment in history cause the rise of Babylon the Great.
We live in Biblically exciting days. Dispensational change is quickly coming to this generation. Babylon the Great is a critical city that is yet to make an appearance. It will represent everything about worldliness as opposed to the spiritual city of Jerusalem. The antichrist stands poised to lead the world through the lust for wealth, and all the worldly pleasures wealth can buy. Apostate Christianity is already rooted in the Charismatic false doctrine of wealth and success, and will find better harmony with Babylon the Great then the Jewish Jerusalem.
The end of Babylon the Great will be swifter then her rise. On one day in one hour God will destroy her. The wealthy of the world will lament at their losses. The great religions of that day will be left in absolute poverty. The Mother of Harlots representing all of Apostate Christianity will be stripped naked, and all the gain of her false doctrine will become worthless.
Alas, alas to all the money changers who used Christ to become wealthy. Alas, alas to the preachers, the Christian entertainers, and the wealthy evangelistic TV actors and actresses who will find a swift end when the LORD of hosts takes command!
Rev 18:1-24
Revelation 18
18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Mob attacks pollsters who found few Palestinians want their old homes in what is now Israel
By Eric Silver in Jerusalem
14 July 2003
A mob of about 100 Palestinian refugees stormed the office of a Ramallah polling organisation yesterday to stop it publishing a survey showing that five times as many refugees would prefer to settle permanently in a Palestinian state than return to their old homes in what is now Israel.
The protesters pelted Khalil Shikaki, the director of the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research, with eggs, smashed computers and assaulted the nine staff members on duty. A female worker was treated in hospital for her injuries. "This is a message for everyone not to tamper with our rights," one of the rioters said.
Dr Shikaki, a leading West Bank political scientist, was undeterred. He said he was still putting the survey results on the centre's website and seeking the widest possible exposure. "These people," he said, "had no idea what the results were. They were sold disinformation."
The poll, conducted among 4,500 refugees in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Jordan, was the first to ask where they would want to live if Israel recognised a right of return.
Only 10 per cent of the refugees chose Israel, even if they were allowed to live there with Palestinian citizenship; 54 per cent opted for the Palestinian state; 17 per cent for Jordan or Lebanon, and 2 per cent for other countries. Another 13 per cent rejected all these options, preferring to sit it out and wait for Israel to disappear, while 2 per cent didn't know.
The future of more than three million refugees is critical to any lasting peace. It was one of the unresolved issues that caused the July 2000 Camp David summit to break down.
• The Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad warned yesterday they would end a truce announced last month if the Palestinian Authority continued to try to disarm them.
I would like to live in a mansion with ocean frontage, but I know it is wishful thinking. I can wait to see what Christ has personally custom made for me in the heavenly city. Until then, I can rejoice in my $6000 mobile home. It seems the Palestinians are setting aside their pipe dreams, and facing reality. They already have their own State in Jordan and Lebanon. What they need is to break free from the refuge camps where their own Moslem brothers have confined them. The Palestinians living in Judah and Samaria need to decide if they can submit to Jewish authority. The State of Israel has not been as repressive to gentiles as the Arabs have been to non-Moslems. Peaceful Arabs have long found more freedom in Israel then they have in countries under Islamic control. Those Palestinians of Judah and Samaria who can't submit should leave for Jordan or Lebanon where like minded hate against Jews is policy.
This is not the plan of dictatorial Arab leadership. The leaders care not what the people may think. Arab leaders feel they alone make the decisions for Allah, and the people are cannon fodder who must produce the leaders visions of glory. It is the leaders who order the gullible into suicide attacks that often kill other Arabs (premature explosions) as well as infidels to Islam. Intimidation by Allah's blessing is the message they send when confronted with truth that is contrary to their evil ways. They are an arrogant bunch who will find eternal condemnation when the books are opened on judgment day. They are the ones this generation of Arabs willingly follow.
Ps 5:8-12
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

White House Foresees Deficit Reaching $455 Billion This Year
By KENNETH N. GILPIN
The Federal budget deficit will be $455 billion, roughly 50 percent larger than the White House estimated in February, the President's Office of Management and Budget said this afternoon.
The sluggish economy, the cost of on-going operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the administration's tax cuts are the primary sources for the rising revenue shortfall.
The projected deficit announced today, for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, is up sharply from the $304 billion deficit the budget office foresaw six months ago. Unless conditions change significantly over the next few months, private analysts said the number could be even bigger.
While drastically bigger than the original forecast, the numbers do not come as much of a surprise. When it offered its last estimates in February, the White House did not include costs related to the war in Iraq. And this year's $330 billion tax cut had not been enacted.
Last month the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said it expected the deficit for the current fiscal year to reach $400 billion.
The new deficit numbers from the Office of Management and Budget contain "about $80 billion due to the tax cuts, and another $45 billion to $50 billion in war-related costs," said David Wyss, chief economist at the Standard & Poor's Corporation.
The economy, which has not grown anywhere near as rapidly as the administration forecast back in February, has also contributed to the rising deficit, as tax revenues have declined.
Islam knows it is the reason why the US economy is $455 billion in debt. It knows that the US can't sustain such deficits long. Islamic's know they are having an impact on the whole world. The mightiest nation of all time is being brought down by Islamic aggressive action. 9/11 may have brought the fall of Islamic governments in Afghanistan and Iraq, but Islam continues to reign in both places. The sword is accomplishing apparent victory in the face of defeat, and Islam knows something of a divine nature is taking place within this generation. The possible political demise of another Bush would add another victory for the sword.
Israel remains the only place where Islam must admit defeat. The sword does not work with these stiff-necked people. It is the Jews who have taken a barren land formerly controlled by Allah, and watched it bloom wherever they imposed their sovereignty. Allah and Mohamed have been proved inferior to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Imagine what will happen when the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob mandates the Jews to build Him His House once more on the Temple Mount! Imagine when Islamic's living in the Holy Land under Jewish sovereignty are commanded by this God to submit to His will, and reject Allah as a false god!
This arrogant generation of Islamic leaders will turn to the sword! The invasion in Ezekiel 38 & 39 fits right into such a Biblical scenario. The end of Islamic influence over the Holy Land is the divine plan revealed in the Bible for this generation of Islamics. Where all gentile might fails, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob brings victory!
The Men of Anahoth
Jer 11:21-23
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

This day marks the beginning of the three weeks of mourning for the fall of Jerusalem and the loss of our holy Temple.
This year, the 17th of Tammuz falls out on Thursday, July 17, 2003.
The 17th of Tammuz is a fast day commemorating the fall of Jerusalem, prior to the destruction of the Holy Temple. This also marks the beginning of a 3-week national period of mourning, leading up to Tisha B'Av.The 17th of Tammuz is the first of four fast days mentioned in the prophets. The purpose of a fast day is to awaken our sense of loss over the destroyed Temple - and the subsequent Jewish journey into exile.
Agonizing over these events is meant to help us conquer those spiritual deficiencies which brought about these tragic events. Through the process of "Teshuva" - self-introspection and a commitment to improve - we have the power to transform tragedy into joy. In fact, the Talmud says that after the future redemption of Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple, these fast days will be re-dedicated as days of rejoicing and festivity. For as the prophet Zechariah says: the 17th of Tammuz will become a day of "joy to the House of Judah, and gladness and cheerful feasts."
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE 17TH OF TAMMUZ?Five great catastrophes occurred in Jewish history on the 17th of Tammuz:
Moses broke the tablets at Mount Sinai - in response to the sin of the Golden Calf.
The daily offerings in the First Temple were suspended during the siege of Jerusalem, after the Kohanim could no longer obtain animals.
Jerusalem's walls were breached, prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
Prior to the Great Revolt, the Roman general Apostamos burned a Torah scroll - setting a precedent for the horrifying burning of Jewish books throughout the centuries.
An idolatrous image was placed in the Sanctuary of the Holy Temple - a brazen act of blasphemy and desecration.
(Originally, the fast was observed on the Ninth of Tammuz since that was the day Jerusalem fell prior to the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE. However, after Jerusalem fell on the 17th of Tammuz - prior to the destruction of the Second Temple - the Sages decided upon a combined observance for both tragedies, the 17th of Tammuz.)
It is all about the Temple! God has reason why He brought this generation of Jews back to the Holy Land. It is for the building of the Third Holy Jewish Temple! Nothing is going to stand in the way! Islam is but dust when it comes to the building of the next Jewish Temple! The mighty gentile nations are but a drop of water to God when it comes to the coming Jewish Kingdom!
The prophet Zechariah has already seen the day when the Jews turn again to the God of their fathers. They will become a spiritually awakened People, a particular people, very different from what they are today. What little survives of the former mighty gentiles will grab hold of the Jew in love. Gentiles will earnestly seek the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He will manifest His glory as the LORD of hosts on that day. It will be the day of the Third Jewish Holy Temple!
It is Judah and the Temple Mount that the gentile road map would remove from Jewish sovereignty, and give to the heathen Palestinians for a hand shake!
Zech 8:13-23
13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

Worldwide Demos Against Road Map This Sunday
From Houston, Texas to New York City from San Francisco to Jerusalem, a grass roots reaction against the Road Map has arisen. People have been awakened to the realization that they must do something now to prevent a pending catastrophe.
They have been moved to action because they intuitively have become aware of the dangers of the Road Map. They have concluded that useless concessions are being made to Arab terrorism; that the Road Map, which is in fact the Saudi Arabian initiative, threatens Israel's very survival, and mankind's existence, and the beliefs and values of Western Civilization.
As part of the worldwide reaction, Women in Green in Jerusalem will demonstrate this Sunday, July 20, at 9:30 A.M. at the Rose Garden, opposite Prime Minister Sharon's office.
At 10:15 A.M., we will march to the Israel Foreign Ministry where we will continue our demonstration.
The following information on demonstrations in other cities was provided by Ken Heller. For further information, please write to Ken at <KJHNHA@aol.com>.
The following anti-Road Map/Pro-Israel/Pro-Truth demonstrations will be held in the following cities on July 20th unless otherwise noted. (All times listed are the times in the particular cities).
Washington, D.C:
Across the street from the White House on the ellipse, 2:00 pm.
I'm not promoting protest on this web page. I will be at Church, not in some protest line on the 20th. I only supply this news item to awaken the slumbering that there is much Jewish opposition to the gentile road map. It is a source of conflict on both sides. I have no idea how successful this protest will be, nor does it matter. What does matter is that this road map promoted by the EU, UN, US, and Russia is against the God of the Bible! There is no need to protest because the gentiles are prophesized to oppose a Jewish Kingdom to their destruction. The protesters are not standing up for God as much as they are standing up in their own pride. Only God is rightly motivated to bring real peace to the Holy Land.
The peace of God is centered around a house of prayer, a place of sacrifice in remembrance, and the only acceptable tabernacle for worship that is to be built on the Temple Mount. The conflict God stirs by this action is nothing worse then the conflicts already stirred-up by this present gentile road map. The world will not see God's intervention with understanding. The messengers God sends will need supernatural protection. The antichrist will have a very short reign during which the world will rejoice at his defiance against God's road map to peace. It will not be democracy and freedom that wins the day, but puritanical righteous rule of Old Testament law imposed on the entire planet. God's peace plan is very different from the world's idea of peace. Jewish worship, Jewish law, and Jewish feasts, will not be optional in the next dispensation. Peace has a price, and that price is righteous iron rod rule by the Lord Jesus Christ. The next dispensation will reveal the Lord Jesus Christ as the King, the LORD of hosts, and the victor who will be worshiped by every survivor of the Great Tribulation and Armageddon.
Read about the building of the Third Holy Jewish Temple:
Building the Next Temple
Rev 11:3-14
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

Temple Mount News
16:24 Jul. 18, '03 / 18 Tammuz 5763
Kiryat Arba's Chief Rabbi Dov Lior on Thursday called for the restoration of full Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, the holiest site to the Jewish People.Rabbi Lior made his comments on the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz, beginning the Three Weeks period leading up to the commemoration of the destruction of the First and Second Temples.
Two months after police began permitting non-Muslims to visit the Mount, only a very small number of traditional Jews have been included. At first, plain-clothes police officers were sent up to the Mount to ascertain the reaction of the Muslims. Afterwards, small groups of mostly Christian tourists were allowed in, while traditionally-dressed Jews (with kippot and tallitot, for example) were kept out. Now, while police have allowed some traditionally-attired Jews onto the Mount, they have also made it clear that Temple Mount activists would not be included in the groups being permitted to visit the holy site. Public Jewish prayer, police say, will in no case be allowed there.
The Temple Mount was liberated from Jordanian occupation by IDF troops in the June 1967 Six Day War. Since that time, the control of the holy site has been turned over to the Muslim Waqf Authority, which continues to ignore the Jewish connection to the site as well as civil law, carrying out major illegal construction projects while deliberately destroying any trace of the Mount's Jewish roots in an attempt to create an legitimate Islamic claim to the site.
I can't emphasize enough the importance of the Bible, and the Temple Mount. Everything, and I mean everything, about the coming dispensation takes place around the Temple Mount. The ascension and return of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Mount of Olives is adjacent to the Temple Mount. It is on the Temple Mount where Jewish sacrifice will again be accepted by God this time in remembrance of redemption accomplished. The Temple Mount is the single most important place on planet earth. It is the Temple Mount that gives Jerusalem it's importance. It is the Temple Mount that makes the Holy Land Holy! It is the only place on planet earth that the God of the Bible took for Himself!
The secular world is ignorant of the future glory of this single Holy Site. It will be the seat of the future one world government of the next dispensation. It will be the only religious center for all of mankind. It will represent the fullness of grace and mercy as promised by the God of the Bible. It will be glorious!
God will finally rule planet earth. He will be Prophet, Priest, and King. Perfect justice will be brought from heaven to earth at this site. A single Judge with perfect love will administer over all conflicts from this place. A Judge whose eyes penetrate the heart will never make a mistake when He renders justice. The standards will be absolute! Only brokenhearted pleas for mercy directed to this Great Judge alone will find a gracious response. The unrepentant rebel will find quick judgment with eternal consequences. It is the day when His Kingdom is come, and His will be done! It will all happen at this place!
1967 was a pivotal year for it was 36 years ago when for the first time in almost 2000 years that the sovereignty of the Temple Mount returned into Jewish hands. The occupation is over, and the conquest has begun at this place first. The blindness afflicting the Jews is about to be lifted. The Kingdom is near!
Ps 50:1-6
The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

PA detains operatives who killed bystander in Nablus during attempted kidnapping
The Palestinian security forces in Nablus have detained a number of suspects in connection with the killing of a 36-year-old mother last week by unidentified gunmen.
The woman, Amneh Abu Hijleh, a mother of three, died instantly after being shot in the head by gunmen in the Rafidiya neighborhood of Nablus. Eyewitnesses said she was carrying her two-month-old daughter, Hiba, when she fell to the ground, bleeding heavily from the head. The little girl was unhurt.
The incident took place when three or four gunmen, believed to be members of one of the Fatah militias operating in the city, tried to kidnap a Palestinian suspected of collaboration with Israel from a local pharmacy. One of the kidnappers fired warning shots as they fled the scene, hitting Abu Hijleh in the head.
Nablus governor Mahmoud al-Aloul, who announced the arrests Saturday, did not reveal the identities of the suspects or whether they belonged to one of the Palestinian groups. He said the investigation was in its early stages and more arrests were expected.
Two weeks ago, the governor himself was targeted by unidentified thugs who set two of his cars on fire. Another senior PLO official from Nablus, who publicly criticized the phenomenon of the armed gangs, also saw his car being torched by masked gunmen.
The death of Amneh Abu Hijleh, together with the car torching, are the latest in a series of incidents that have taken the lives of six people over the past few months, prompting angry residents to demand an end to the presence of armed militiamen in their city.
On Thursday afternoon, hundreds of mourners returning from the woman's funeral marched through the streets of Nablus, calling on the Palestinian Authority to punish the culprits and restore law and order to the city.
"We don't care who these armed criminals belong to, we just want them out of our lives," said Maher Odeh, a shopkeeper in the Old City of Nablus who participated in the unique protest. "If you want to carry weapons and fight the Jews, go and launch attacks on the soldiers and the settlers; we want a total ban on the use of weapons inside the city."
Khaled al-Masri, the owner of a restaurant for grilled chicken, said many people in the city live in fear in the absence of law and order. "The city is controlled by armed groups who do whatever they want," he complained. "In most cases, you don't know who's hiding behind the masks."
Who goes to paradise? The mom, or the soldiers of Allah?
They sowed the wind in their hate for the Jews. Now, they reap the whirlwind, and moan! They released the wild animals of their culture, and now find that beastly behavior has no loyalty. They appointed the most animalistic to run their government, and now realize the Palestinian Authority is unable to control the conscienceless animals it has nurtured. Civilized societies know the untamable beasts of their cultures must be caged or killed. The Palestinians have nurtured them thinking they could release them on the Jews with joyful vengeance. Now they pay the price of their folly.
I'm sure the blame as always will be put on the Jews. The truth is it will only be Jewish intervention that has any hope to bring relief for these foolish Palestinians. They reject Jewish help out of hate, and instead demand hundreds of these same caged animals be released back into their society. It is all folly which the crybabies have brought upon themselves. The Holy Land needs to be cleansed of such foolishness. The gentiles would give this foolish society a State to perpetuate their folly. The road map wants Israel to release the Palestinian prisoners as a "jester" of good will. Oh foolish Palestinians. Oh foolish peace plan.
Jesus Christ is the only peace plan that has eternal wisdom which never falls short of the situation!
The Folly of the Palestinians
Jer 5:21-23
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

Fatah men kidnap Jenin governor
Masked gunmen of Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, on Saturday kidnapped Jenin district Governor Haider Irsheid and beat him publicly, accusing him of collaborating with Israel and embezzling public funds.
Irsheid was released in the evening on instructions from Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. He was admitted to Jenin Hospital, where doctors said his condition was good.
Palestinian sources said Arafat phoned the group's leaders in the Jenin refugee camp and ordered them to release the governor immediately. According to the sources, Arafat promised to conduct an inquiry into allegations that Irshied was working with Israel's security forces and mishandled funds.
Eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post that dozens of armed men abducted Irsheid, 51, from his home and took him to the main square in the city, where they beat him in front of passersby."They kicked him, punched him in the face, and hit him with the butts of rifles," said one eyewitness. "The armed men announced that the governor was an Israeli spy who also stole the people's money."
Irsheid was then bundled into a car and driven off to the Jenin refugee camp, where he was held for several hours.
Zakariya al-Zubaidi, head of the of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin, said his group kidnapped Irsheid because he was "involved in many crimes against our people."
Zubaidi told the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV station that Irshied had helped Israel during the IDF operation in the Jenin refugee camp last year. "He was coordinating directly with the Israelis together with some of the commanders of the [Palestinian] security forces," he claimed.
Zubaidi said his group asked Arafat several times to punish the governor, but no measures were taken against him. He accused Irshied of sending one of his aides to shoot at a leader of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin on Friday.
Following the incident, members of the group went to Irshied's home to talk to him, but he opened fire at them from a rifle, Zubaidi added.
"We demand that his Excellency, President Yasser Arafat, put this man on trial and punish him in front of the masses," he said. "We're not judges and executioners. Our struggle is with the Zionist occupiers. We won't try Irshied. Only President Arafat is authorized to bring him to trial."
The Aksa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin have openly defied the PA by rejecting the cease-fire and insisting on pursuing their attacks against Israel. In an interview with the Post last week, Zubaidi said he and his friends were not consulted about the cease-fire and were never asked to suspend their attacks.
PA Information Minister Nabil Amr described the Irsheid's abduction as an "unfortunate act" and said efforts are under way to solve the problem.
PA State Minister Abdel Fattah Hamayel, who met last week in Jenin with members of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades on behalf of Arafat, said the abduction was not politically motivated. "This incident could have been avoided," he said. It was linked to financial issues "and had nothing to do with political matters," he added.
Regarding his recent meeting with the group, Hamayel said that he discussed with the gunmen the cease-fire announced by Palestinian factions three weeks ago. "I conveyed to them a message summarizing the position of the Palestinian Authority, which is that they must abide by the hudna (cease-fire)."
Here is a picture of the gentile proposed Palestinian State. Thugs will rule, and pity any who would voice even the slightest amount of moderation. It is the mindless thugs who must be caged or killed before meaningful peace can ever come to these people. The Palestinians will never be able to cage them, and the gentiles are applying full pressure on Israel to release the animals they have caged back into Palestinian society. This road map only leads to folly.
It is not just moderation. It is anyone who would not give these animals the respect they demand. Collaboration is a loosely applied term to any who does not agree no mater what the real issue. Corruption and Palestinian politics are the same word. The thugs live by extortion, and then call the kettle black.
The only hope for the Middle East and Islam is the Lord Jesus Christ. Hearts must be changed. The entire culture as it is today leads only to folly. A Palestinian State is a hopeless thought in the light of reality. Their hateful vengeance against the Jews, and the God who gave the Jews of this generation the sovereignty over the Holy Land has produced this reality. Only the introduction of love unconditionally demonstrated on Calvary has the power to bring about change. The rejection of such love can only end in folly!
Corruption and the Corrupt
Ps 49:10-13
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Jerusalem Mayor Compares Temple Mount Prayer
20:06 Jul. 21, '03 / 21 Tammuz 5763Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski has condemned the recent decision to reopen the Temple Mount to Jewish and Christian visitors.
Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski (email address: "mayor@jerusalem.muni.il") has condemned the recent decision to reopen the Temple Mount to Jewish and Christian visitors - and, in a startling statement, likened the idea of Jewish prayer there at these times to one who urinates in public.
Speaking with the weekly Kol Ha'ir newspaper on Friday, Lupolianski - Jerusalem's first elected hareidi (non-Zionist religious) mayor - said as follows, as reported in The Jerusalem Post:
"There are many things that are allowed, but someone smart does not do them. To differentiate, someone must relieve himself, that is human, but if he does so next to the Mashbir [department store], you will say he is a hooligan, right?... There are things that it is clear that are right to do, but not at every place, at every hour, in every situation."
A spokesman for the mayor, asked about his comments, did not deny that Lupolianski had made the urination comparison.
Mayor Lupolianski, who was elected less than seven weeks ago, told Kol Ha'ir that the Temple Mount belongs to the Jewish people, "but with the sensitivities that exist in the Muslim world, it is not right to change the situation."
The government recently decided to allow groups of non-Moslems to ascend to the Temple Mount. It had been closed to such groups since the beginning of the Oslo War in September 2000, for fear that Moslems would be incensed and that violence would result.
Lupolianski's party colleague MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) explained to Arutz-7's Yosef Zalmanson today that he also objects to the government decision: "The Temple Mount is the holiest place on earth for Jews, and by allowing entry to anyone who wants, the government is detracting from its holiness and abusing it. From a halakhic [Jewish legal] point of view, it is forbidden - and even those who claim to know the permitted places are risking an 'issur karet' [a grave Biblical prohibition]." Asked about Lupolianski's comparison, he said he would not comment on statements made by members of his own party. MK Rabbi Avraham Ravitz, another UTJ Knesset Member contacted by Arutz-7, also refused to comment.
Most of the religious Jews are as blind as the secular Jews. The Temple Mount is not only the holiest place on earth for the Jews, but for all peoples who understand what the God of the Bible has declared! Jewish law has become a perversion of Biblical law by many of these followers of the Pharisees. Jewish law has become the leaven of which the Lord Jesus Christ warned the world to beware! Old Testament Biblical Law will bring Judaism back to it's Biblical roots. A Third Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount is the only way acceptable Old Testament sacrifice can again be the center of Jewish worship as God always intended it be in the Bible! Without sacrifice, the Old Testament becomes meaningless to Judaism, and the world. The eternal historical root of Calvary is lost should a Jewish Kingdom exist without sacrifice as a remembrance in the next Temple just as former Temples looked forward to the coming servant of Isaiah. Judaism and Christianity become just two more humanistic philosophies added to the world's religions without a return to Jewish sacrifice on the Temple Mount.
Jesus Christ warned about the leaven of the Pharisees, and also said He was the fullness of the law. It all comes together on the Temple Mount. The fullness will come to the Third Holy Jewish Temple!

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

The Coming Servant is Coming Again
Isa 53
53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Arafat: 'Grave consequences' if Jews keep visiting Temple Mount
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent, and DPA
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat warned of "grave consequences" Tuesday if Israel continues to allow Jews to visit the Temple Mount.
Muslem guards at the Temple Mount tried Tuesday to stop groups of Jews from performing religious rituals there, Palestinian sources said. Police then removed the Jews from the Temple Mount to prevent further contacts between them and the guards.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, on a visit to Egypt and Jordan before he embarks on his trip to Washington, called the Israeli act "provocative" during a press conference with Arab League Secretary-General Amr Mussa in Cairo.
Mussa echoed the feeling and said he received a call from Arafat warning of the gravity of this step. He called the developments "very dangerous" and "an insult to Moslems everywhere.”
The police have recently broadened the visits they coordinate to the Temple Mount and now sometimes allow religious Jews wearing religious skullcaps to enter the plaza area, which the Waqf Muslim religious trust closed to non-Muslims after the riots following then-opposition leader Ariel Sharon's visit there in September 2000. Palestinians say the visit sparked the Al-Aqsa Intifada, named for the mosque on the mount.
The new relaxation in the rules is a gradual process meant to reinstate the status quo before the Sharon visit. However, police will not allow group Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount and will not allow known members of the various Temple Mount groups that call for the reconstruction of the Temple and demolition of the mosques to visit the site. Officially, both sides deny there is any quiet understanding between police and the Waqf about restoring tourist visits.
Waqf director Adnan Husseini said Tuesday that the Waqf will continue its policy of not allowing non-Moslems into the compound.
Arafat's senior advisor Nabil Abu Rudeineh said Arafat summoned members of the diplomatic corps in Jerusalem for a meeting at his Ramallah compound to brief them on the gravity of the situation..
Arafat asked the diplomats to inform their governments of the seriousness of this situation and to intervene to "contain the consequences of this crime and prevent its repetition," warning that it could "explode the situation once again," said Abu Rudeineh.
And, explode it will! Nothing will stop the God of the Bible from establishing His House on the Temple Mount once again. God has brought the Jews back to the Holy Land, and given them sovereignty for this purpose! True Christianity is about to step aside at the rapture leaving behind the Great Apostate Church existing today. All the phony money changers who grew rich using the Lord Jesus Christ will find their greed was unacceptable to the God who sees the heart. Their false claims of being "born again" will be exposed as rejected. Their followers who wanted the lie will find mercy and grace has passed them by. They will most likely remain as blind as they are today ready to follow whatever wind of false doctrine their leaders will envision.
The Jews are almost ready to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Two prophets, and 144,000 Jewish Israeli supporters will lead Judaism back to the Bible! It will stand in stark contrast to the Great Apostate Church of today. True Biblical righteousness will return to planet earth through the Jews of Israel first! It will be a battle not only for the hearts of all of Judaism, but for the Temple Mount.
Islam stands defiantly in the way of the Third Holy Jewish Temple! Ezekiel 39 answers the question how a Temple can be built under present Islamic resistance! It is the "Last Jihad." The end of Islamic influence over the Holy Land.
Nothing is going to stop God from establishing the coming Jewish Kingdom. Nothing is going to stop God from bringing back the Lord Jesus Christ as the LORD of hosts, the King of Glory!
Psalms 84
84:1 To the chief Musician upon Git'-tith, A Psalm for the sons of Ko'rah.
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Bush Says Death of Hussein's Sons Signals 'Regime Is Gone'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 10:44 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Wednesday hailed the deaths of Saddam Hussein's two sons as the clearest sign yet that ``the former regime is gone and will not be coming back.''
Bush called Odai and Qusai Hussein, who were both killed on Tuesday during a firefight with U.S. forces, ``two of the regime's chief henchmen ... responsible for torture, maiming and murder of countless Iraqis.''
Still, in a Rose Garden appearance with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. occupation governor for Iraq, Bush said that ``a few remaining holdouts'' loyal to Saddam's government are complicating efforts to stabilize Iraq and advance freedom.
``These killers are the enemies of Iraq's people. They operate mainly in a few areas of the country. And wherever they operate, they're being hunted and they will be defeated,'' Bush said in brief remarks. He did not respond to questions shouted by reporters.
Even as officials confirmed that Saddam's two sons were killed Tuesday in a firefight with U.S. troops, a soldier with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment died when his convoy driving between Balad and Ar Ramadi was ambushed and two more were killed Wednesday in separate attacks on convoys.
The president sought to present a progress report on Iraq since he declared major combat over nearly three months ago. ``We are determined to help build a free and sovereign democratic nation,'' he said.
While the White House was exhibiting obvious pleasure in deaths of the two Saddam sons, questions continued to dog the administration over the president's use of discredited intelligence to bolster his case for war with Iraq.
Their reign of terror has come to an end! This is only the beginning for these two nurtured wild animals of Islam. In a way they represent the sword of Islam in conflict with the God of the Bible; The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! Their lives on earth may be over, but eternity future for their immortal souls has only begun. They are not in paradise according to the Bible. They are in sheol (Hebrew)/Hades (Greek) waiting in torment for a resurrection to judgment when their bodies will be raised to unite once again with their immortal souls. The books will be opened, and they will be judged by the God of the Bible for their works. They died without Christ, and so mercy is no longer available. Their names are not in the Lamb's Book of Life. Only the books filled with their tortures, maimings, and murders will be opened for a one time eternal judgment decision by the God of the Bible. That judgment is clear. It is to be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity. The pain and agony they imposed on others will now be their eternal fate.
It will not be only Odai and Qusai who will stand before God on that great day of judgment. The Bible says our rebellion against God's revealed righteousness has condemned all of us to the same fate. The great and the small are all likewise guilty. Even the victims of the most wicked are judged as coming short of perfect righteousness. The God of the Bible is no respecter of persons, and applies the same perfect standard to all.
Only the perfect sacrifice at Calvary provides a place of mercy where grace can be applied. The books of works condemn even the best of us. Only the Book of Life records those who repented, and cried unto God for mercy. The Bible is clear that only Christ can distribute grace through His shed blood for the remission of sin. It is only the Lamb of God who can write your name in the Book of Life. There is no other place to go! It is the Lord Jesus Christ King of Glory, or the lake of fire! It will soon be submitting to the coming Jewish Kingdom of Heaven, or condemnation in a prison house of torment awaiting the eternal deathless tortures in the penitentiary of fire!
Odai and Qusai Hussein
Rev 20:11-15
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
KJV
I have included an excerpt (worth your reading) from Josephus who is no theologian, but he does reveal Jewish teaching about hell during the time of the fall of the Second Temple to the Romans. It is interesting to read the concept held by the man on the street in Jerusalem at the end of the last dispensation. The Lord Jesus Christ relating to the historical rich man and Lazarus of His day in Luke 16 affirms the correctness of much of what Josephus wrote. Where Josephus remained blind was to the Book of Life, and "the just" finding their righteousness only through the cleansing blood of Christ.
(The reference by Josephus @ #6 to the judge - "Christ" is most probably a reference to the "anointed one" rather then the Lord Jesus Christ)
Concerning Hades
An Extract Out Of Josephus’ Discourse To The Greeks Concerning Hades.
1. Now as to Hades, wherein the souls of the of the good things they see, and rejoice in the righteous and unrighteous are detained, it is necessary to speak of it. Hades is a place in the world not regularly finished; a subterraneous region, wherein the light of this world does not shine; from which circumstance, that in this region the light does not shine, it cannot be but there must be in it perpetual darkness. This region is allotted as a place of custody for souls, ill which angels are appointed as guardians to them, who distribute to them temporary punishments, agreeable to every one’s behavior and manners.
2. In this region there is a certain place set apart, as a lake of unquenchable fire, whereinto we suppose no one hath hitherto been cast; but it is prepared for a day afore-determined by God, in which one righteous sentence shall deservedly be passed upon all men; when the unjust, and those that have been disobedient to God, and have given honor to such idols as have been the vain operations of the hands of men as to God himself, shall be adjudged to this everlasting punishment, as having been the causes of defilement; while the just shall obtain an incorruptible and never-fading kingdom. These are now indeed confined in Hades, but not in the same place wherein the unjust are confined.
3. For there is one descent into this region, at whose gate we believe there stands an archangel with an host; which gate when those pass through that are conducted down by the angels appointed over souls, they do not go the same way; but the just are guided to the right hand, and are led with hymns, sung by the angels appointed over that place, unto a region of light, in which the just have dwelt from the beginning of the world; not constrained by necessity, but ever enjoying the prospect of the good things they see, and rejoic in the expectation of those new enjoyments which will be peculiar to every one of them, and esteeming those things beyond what we have here; with whom there is no place of toil, no burning heat, no piercing cold, nor are any briers there; but the countenance of the and of the just, which they see, always smiles them, while they wait for that rest and eternal new life in heaven, which is to succeed this region. This place we call The Bosom of Abraham.
4. But as to the unjust, they are dragged by force to the left hand by the angels allotted for punishment, no longer going with a good-will, but as prisoners driven by violence; to whom are sent the angels appointed over them to reproach them and threaten them with their terrible looks, and to thrust them still downwards. Now those angels that are set over these souls drag them into the neighborhood of hell itself; who, when they are hard by it, continually hear the noise of it, and do not stand clear of the hot vapor itself; but when they have a near view of this spectacle, as of a terrible and exceeding great prospect of fire, they are struck with a fearful expectation of a future judgment, and in effect punished thereby: and not only so, but where they see the place [or choir] of the fathers and of the just, even hereby are they punished; for a chaos deep and large is fixed between them; insomuch that a just man that hath compassion upon them cannot be admitted, nor can one that is unjust, if he were bold enough to attempt it, pass over it.
5. This is the discourse concerning Hades, wherein the souls of all men are confined until a proper season, which God hath determined, when he will make a resurrection of all men from the dead, not procuring a transmigration of souls from one body to another, but raising again those very bodies, which you Greeks, seeing to be dissolved, do not believe [their resurrection]. But learn not to disbelieve it; for while you believe that the soul is created, and yet is made immortal by God, according to the doctrine of Plato, and this in time, be not incredulous; but believe that God is able, when he hath raised to life that body which was made as a compound of the same elements, to make it immortal; for it must never be said of God, that he is able to do some things, and unable to do others. We have therefore believed that the body will be raised again; for although it be dissolved, it is not perished; for the earth receives its remains, and preserves them; and while they are like seed, and are mixed among the more fruitful soil, they flourish, and what is sown is indeed sown bare grain, but at the mighty sound of God the Creator, it will sprout up, and be raised in a clothed and glorious condition, though not before it has been dissolved, and mixed [with the earth]. So that we have not rashly believed the resurrection of the body; for although it be dissolved for a time on account of the original transgression, it exists still, and is cast into the earth as into a potter’s furnace, in order to be formed again, not in order to rise again such as it was before, but in a state of purity, and so as never to he destroyed any more. And to every body shall its own soul be restored. And when it hath clothed itself with that body, it will not be subject to misery, but, being itself pure, it will continue with its pure body, and rejoice with it, with which it having walked righteously now in this world, and never having had it as a snare, it will receive it again with great gladness. But as for the unjust, they will receive their bodies not changed, not freed from diseases or distempers, nor made glorious, but with the same diseases wherein they died; and such as they were in their unbelief, the same shall they be when they shall be faithfully judged.
6. For all men, the just as well as the unjust, shall be brought before God the word: for to him hath the Father committed all judgment : and he, in order to fulfill the will of his Father, shall come as Judge, whom we call Christ. For Minos and Rhadamanthus are not the judges, as you Greeks do suppose, but he whom God and the Father hath glorified: Concerning Whom We Have Elsewhere Given A More Particular Account, For The Sake Of Those Who Seek After Truth. This person, exercising the righteous judgment of the Father towards all men, hath prepared a just sentence for every one, according to his works; at whose judgment-seat when all men, and angels, and demons shall stand, they will send forth one voice, and say, Just Is Thy Judgment; the rejoinder to which will bring a just sentence upon both parties, by giving justly to those that have done well an everlasting fruition; but allotting to the lovers of wicked works eternal punishment. To these belong the unquenchable fire, and that without end, and a certain fiery worm, never dying, and not destroying the body, but continuing its eruption out of the body with never-ceasing grief: neither will sleep give ease to these men, nor will the night afford them comfort; death will not free them from their punishment, nor will the interceding prayers of their kindred profit them; for the just are no longer seen by them, nor are they thought worthy of remembrance. But the just shall remember only their righteous actions, whereby they have attained the heavenly kingdom, in which there is no sleep, no sorrow, no corruption, no care, no night, no day measured by time, no sun driven in his course along the circle of heaven by necessity, and measuring out the bounds and conversions of the seasons, for the better illumination of the life of men; no moon decreasing and increasing, or introducing a variety of seasons, nor will she then moisten the earth; no burning sun, no Bear turning round [the pole], no Orion to rise, no wandering of innumerable stars. The earth will not then be difficult to be passed over, nor will it he hard to find out the court of paradise, nor will there be any fearful roaring of the sea, forbidding the passengers to walk on it; even that will be made easily passable to the just, though it will not be void of moisture. Heaven will not then be uninhabitable by men, and it will not be impossible to discover the way of ascending thither. The earth will not be uncultivated, nor require too much labor of men, but will bring forth its fruits of its own accord, and will be well adorned with them. There will be no more generations of wild beasts, nor will the substance of the rest of the animals shoot out any more; for it will not produce men, but the number of the righteous will continue, and never fail, together with righteous angels, and spirits [of God], and with his word, as a choir of righteous men and women that never grow old, and continue in an incorruptible state, singing hymns to God, who hath advanced them to that happiness, by the means of a regular institution of life; with whom the whole creation also will lift up a perpetual hymn from corruption, to incorruption, as glorified by a splendid and pure spirit. It will not then be restrained by a bond of necessity, but with a lively freedom shall offer up a voluntary hymn, and shall praise him that made them, together with the angels, and spirits, and men now freed from all bondage.
7. And now, if you Gentiles will be persuaded by these motives, and leave your vain imaginations about your pedigrees, and gaining of riches, and philosophy, and will not spend your time about subtleties of words, and thereby lead your minds into error, and if you will apply your ears to the hearing of the inspired prophets, the interpreters both of God and of his word, and will believe in God, you shall both be partakers of these things, and obtain the good things that are to come; you shall see the ascent unto the immense heaven plainly, and that kingdom which is there. For what God hath now concealed in silence [will be then made manifest,] what neither eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for them that love him.
8. In whatsoever ways I shall find you, in them shall I judge you entirely: so cries the End of all things. And he who hath at first lived a virtuous lift, but towards the latter end falls into vice, these labors by him before endured shall be altogether vain and unprofitable, even as in a play, brought to an ill catastrophe. Whosoever shall have lived wickedly and luxuriously may repent; however, there will be need of much time to conquer an evil habit, and even after repentance his whole life must be guarded with great care and diligence, after the manner of a body, which, after it hath been a long time afflicted with a distemper, requires a stricter diet and method of living; for though it may be possible, perhaps, to break off the chain of our irregular affections at once, yet our amendment cannot be secured without the grace of God, the prayers of good men, the help of the brethren, and our own sincere repentance and constant care. It is a good thing not to sin at all; it is also good, having sinned, to repent; as it is best to have health always, but it is a good thing to recover from a distemper. To God be glory and dominion for ever and ever Amen.

5,415 more settlers since beginning of year
By Gideon Alon, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service
The number of Jews living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has risen by 5,415 since the beginning of 2003, with Betar Illit growing the fastest, Interior Ministry statistics from the end of June reveal.
The ministry found that there are 231,443 settlers living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and that the largest settlements are Ma'aleh Adumim, Modi'in Illit and Betar Illit, Israel Radio reported Thursday morning.
Although the government hasexact statistics on the number of settlers, the number of outposts appears to be a lot harder to pinpoint.
Deputy Defense Minister Ze'ev Boim was unable to tell the Knesset on Wednesday how many illegal outposts there are at present in the territories.
Responding to a question by Labor MK Matan Vilnai, Boim said, "We are talking about several dozen outposts that have not received approval and their number changes all the time. The numbers go up and down at various times."
Labor MK Ophir Pines-Paz inquired, "What do you mean by up and down?" Boim replied that since the beginning of June, the Israel Defense Forces had dismantled more than 20 illegal outposts, "some of these more than once because of attempts to return to the area after evacuation. In addition, there were attempts to take over new sites that were stopped."
Pines-Paz said he had been informed by the director of the Prime Minister's Bureau that there are 91 illegal settlements, of which only 11 had so far been dismantled. He charged that Boim was trying to hide the information from the Knesset.
The quiet conquest by the Jews over Judah, Samaria, and the Gaza continues. A steady influx of Jewish settlers into the occupied Holy Land continues since 1967 when sovereignty shifted from Islamic to Jewish hands, and has become a silent testimony to the power of God. One quarter million Jews now thrive where Islam once suppressed. The world goes ballistic when Jewish victory comes to light. The Islamic world goes animalistic when confronted with the Jewish conquest of the Holy Land. The secular Jewish politicians are totally frustrated that they have no control over this phenomenon. The Arabs believe this is all planned by the sneaky Jews, but the truth is no politician could ever put together such a miraculous event. In the midst of total opposition from within, and without Jews are conquering the Holy Land. The 1967 occupation is silently becoming a miraculous conquest!
The culmination of all this will be the building of the Third Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The Islamic shrines must be purged from God's Holy Hill. Zion must be cleansed before holiness can come again to Israel. The hand of God does not utilize murder and terrorism, but His silent steady progress is always evident. God works through the hearts of His people. These 5,415 settlers are not saved Jews yet! They may well be part of the 144,000 Jews identified in Revelation chapter 14 who will be saved after the rapture of the true Church. They may well be the builders of Ezekiel's Temple?
Dispensational change is progressively moving forward. The world is about to be turned upside-down once again! The coming violence will be self inflicted by a great and strong gentile world rebelling against the hand of God! The instrument God is compelled to use is judgment! The Day of the LORD in the latter years is nigh at hand!
The Day of the LORD
Joel 2:1-15
2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

PERES CALLS FOR JERUSALEM "WORLD CAPITAL" UNDER UN CONTROL
The nullification of all political sovereignty may be the only practicable solution to continued wrangling over the status of Jerusalem, opposition leader Shimon Peres said Monday, suggesting to visiting Russian Foreign Ministry delegates the establishment of a symbolic "world capital" under nominal UN control.
The former Labor prime minister refused to elaborate on the practical implications of the proposal, suggesting only that administrative responsibility for all holy sites be transferred to their respective adherents, with the UN secretary-general presiding over the area as mayor of the city.
"It is more symbolic than pragmatic," conceded spokesman Yoram Dori, to The Jerusalem Post. One of the visiting Russians put it more bluntly. "It is a bit idealistic," declared Ekaterina Garshenina, deriding the plan as "extremely abstract."
Whereas the Old City and Temple Mount would be declared neutral with greater UN control, the rest of Jerusalem would be subject to dual sovereignty, with Jewish suburbs placed under Jewish control and Arab suburbs ceded to the Palestinian Authority.
The status of Jerusalem has emerged as one of the major points of contention in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with both sides advancing irreconcilable claims to city.
Labor Party members were keen to emphasize that his was a "personal vision for Jerusalem" and not an official party line.
Peres, in his late 70s, was elected temporary chairman of the Labor party after their landslide defeat to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Likud in the January national elections and the subsequent resignation of previous chairman Amram Mitzna. His appointment was seen as a means to re-build the tattered party, torn apart by in-fighting after bowing out of Sharon's governing coalition in November.
The fourth Labor leader in less than three years, Peres has so far appeared unable to tackle the internal divisions and mount an effective opposition to Sharon's government in the Knesset.
On Tuesday he blocked the return of former prime minister Ehud Barak to national Labor politics, by turning down Barak's request to re-join the Party's governing bureau, and in turn re-enter the political scene for the first time since his election defeat to Sharon nearly three years ago.
Peres' motives, according to some in his party, purely designed to prevent a Barak challenge to his leadership in next June's contest for the permanent Labor chair.
"I am absolutely shocked that Peres did this," former Labor MK Weizmann Shiri told the Post, insisting that there must be "room for Barak."
"I would expect Peres to put aside his personal issues and look to the contributions Ehud can make," he continued. "Unfortunately, in Labor no one learns from past mistakes, that what destroyed the party was personal battles."
The age old battle of liberalism verses conservatism is being played out over the city of Jerusalem. Both ideologies are about to be crushed by God who has His own plans for Jerusalem as already revealed in the Bible. The gentile plan around which the antichrist will rally the world has now been officially introduced by the liberal Peres. The door is now open for the envisioned gentile domination of Jerusalem. The battle lines are being formed quickly.
The divided Kingdom of conservative Judah to the South, and liberal Israel to the North is a lesson for this generation. God is planning to draw all Jews together at Jerusalem. There will be no compromise. There will be no gentile influence. There will be no liberals or conservatives. All must unite under the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! One King in the likeness of David (literally of his seed) will rule a united Biblical Judaism for 1000 years from the city of Jerusalem! His throne will be on the Temple Mount where Ezekiel's Temple will stand. Only He will be able to unite all Jews into one mind, and into one body!
Jerusalem has a glorious future in God's hands. Woe to the Jew or gentile who would stubbornly stand in His way! The battle for Jerusalem is both within and without. The victory is already claimed in the Bible!
Jerusalem
Ezek 14:21-23
21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
KJV
Zech 12:2-7
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

Six of Iraq's last Jews flown to Israel from Baghdad
By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent and the Associated Press
Six elderly Jews from Iraq, from among the last remaining Jews in the country, landed Friday evening in Israel on a direct flight from Baghdad.The Jews were flown to Israel as part of a joint operation of the Jewish Agency and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a Jewish-American organization that deals with humanitarian aid to Jews throughout the world.
Iraq once had a thriving community of 130,000 Jews, but about 120,000 made their way to Israel between 1949 and 1952, with smaller numbers of Jews leaving the country in subsequent years.
Among the six is a 99-year-old woman and her 70-year-old daughter, another 70 year-old woman who was the last remaining Jew in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, and a blind 90-year old Baghdad resident. The names of the six were not released, and the Jewish Agency kept the mission a secret until they landed in Israel.
The HIAS spokesman said that the Iraqi Jews arrived in Israel on a direct flight chartered by the Jewish Agency. The plane took off from Baghdad at 5 P.M. Israeli time, and the plane landed a few minutes before the start of the Sabbath after a planned stopover in Jordan was canceled.
The six were elderly and the effort to take them out of Iraq was considered a humanitarian mission, said Giora Rom, director general of the Jewish Agency, the organization responsible for bringing Jews to Israel.
Before Friday's mission only 34 Jews were found in Iraq by a Jewish Agency envoy who visited the country after the U.S.-led defeat of Saddam Hussein's government, Rom said.
The other 28 Iraqi Jews did not want to come to Israel, said Rom speaking on Israel's Channel 2 TV. He added that the agency had supplied those who stayed behind with religious articles.
Islam has openly intimidated, and even ransomed the Jewish communities that once had long time peaceful settlements within their boarders. Why does the world recoil in horror should the Jews do the same to the Palestinians? Peaceful Palestinians have always found a better life in Israel then Arab lands. It is why millions are willing to submit to Jewish authority and stay! It is the rebellious Palestinians that must go. Those who can't submit to Jewish authority. They do not belong in the Holy Land. The rebels doubly deserve the same treatment (undeserved by the Jews) that Islam has already imposed on peaceful Jews under their authority.
The gentile world was silent when Islam expelled the Jews in this our generation. The gentile world has forfeited voicing opposition to Israel expelling the nurtured wild animals of Islam should they chose to do so! God will certainly expel them as the fullness of the Jewish Kingdom approaches.
The God of the Bible is about to judge Islam for their hate (9/11 etc). A lesson is about to be given to the whole gentile world. The billion plus Islamics are expendable! It means the billions plus gentile nations are also expendable as was the days of Noah! Nothing is going to stand in the way of the Third Holy Jewish Temple being built on the Temple Mount. Nothing is going to stop the next dispensation of the Kingdom age coming to earth. Nothing is going to stop the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as the LORD of hosts, and King of glory!
Nothing can Stop the King the LORD of Hosts
Isa 6:1-5
6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Victims Turn To High Court Against Release Of Terrorists
13:55 Jul. 27, '03 / 27 Tammuz 5763(IsraelNN.com) On behalf of the Victims of Arab Terror and 61 other individuals, including terrorist victims and their relatives, Atty. Baruch Ben-Yosef filed a petition in the Supreme Court against today's Cabinet decision to release 100 Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners.
The suit is based on two points: the PA refuses to disarm the terrorist organizations, and the lack of clear guidelines ensuring that the terrorists to be freed will not return to their previous activities.
Last week, while visiting with President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo, PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) announced he has no intentions of disarming Hamas of its weapons as is being demanded by Israel and the United States.
The gentile road map is exposed to all the world for how foolish, and how unfair the cost of peace has become. Only the wise God of the Bible has a plan that exhibits rational methods of bringing true peace to Israel, and the world. The price will be that of absolute righteousness ruling the entire planet. God's law must replace gentile law for true peace to be realized. Israel and the Middle East are brought to the forefront with purpose. The foolishness that causes basic gentile law to be repealed so the present peace plan can go forward has now been exposed. The gentile's law does not work! It must be abandoned for the cause of a phony peace!
The release of these wild Islamic animals is not only a threat to the Jews, but these are the same mindless beasts who extort, and intimidate the Palestinian people. They are the same sort who kidnapped, beat, and publicly humiliated the elected Palestinian governor of Jenin because he was too moderate for their liking. Only the Israelis have the will, the power, and the authority to cage these animals. The gentile road map demands they free them for the cause of peace? This is not the road to real peace for anyone!
Foolish Road Map
1 Cor 3:17-21
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Ex 33:16

PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS BEING RECRUITED TO PA SECURITY
Members of the militant terrorist groups Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and some in Islamic Jihad and Hamas are being recruited for the Palestinian Authority security force.
With approval from Israeli security, PA officials are recruiting members of fringe terrorist cells who have frequently violated the ceasefire for some of the PA security forces in exchange for a guarantee of immunity from arrest and targeted killings by Israel.
They might also be given administrative positions, and will be placed under the command and on payroll of the PA.
They need to feel that they have a personal interest in the peace, they need to have a position in the security apparatus," said Kadura Fares, a Fatah leader.
The PA and Fatah are also weighing bringing fringe elements from the Hamas and the Islamic Jihad under the Palestinian security umbrella.
Israeli security sources are unperturbed by what some have called an "unholy alliance" between the Islamic groups and the PA.
"We have no principled objection to the PA bringing Hamas and Jihad elements into their security apparatus," an Israeli security source said. "Right now our primary concern is that these men are not in the field and not conducting terror attacks. We are trying to defer internal Palestinian affairs to the Palestinians."
Israel acknowledges the significant reduction in terror alerts since the declaration of the ceasefire in early July.
"Jihad and Hamas are largely abiding by the (ceasefire) and so there is simply less work for the PA to do in many of the areas," said a security source.
While Israeli security would much prefer that the PA forcefully disarm and arrest Islamic Jihad and Hamas members, it fears that PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas might lose political traction if it presses him too hard.
Foolishness is not limited to the gentile peaceniks. Secular Jewish politicians are infected with the same malady. God is in the process of separating the Jews from the world, and the secular Jews are about experimental mixing compromise with the enemy. Unholy alliances are what brought the Church age to this brink of apostasy that is bringing about dispensational change to this generation, and that same evil malady is rampant among the Jews. It always leads to judgment by a God who refuses to compromise His holy attributes for any cause including peace. The Old Testament is a record of failed unholy alliances, and now the New Testament Christians are repeatimg that age old mistake. It started with Adam and Eve compromising in their unholy alliance with the serpent, and continues in today's Christianity compromising with doctrinal error aligning with the Roman Catholics and Charismatics. Unholy alliances continue to stand in the way of God's holy plan for redemption.
God is about to forcibly separate the true Church from the apostate Church. The rapture will signal that separation, and also dispensational change. God will do what Christians today refuse to do! God will also separate the Jews from the gentiles in the next dispensation. Unholy alliances are not part of God's holy plan! The coming Kingdom will be pure. Compromise is not an attribute of the coming King. The compromisers will find no place in the next dispensation no matter what their cause or reasoning! Separation from open blatant sin is one of the glories described in the Bible about the coming Kingdom. Perfect errorless Biblical religion will be the only religion allowed. There will be no compromise! The fullness of Christ will unite Old and New Testaments into perfect Biblical Law administered from Ezekiel's Temple, and will be imposed on all producing perfect justice for the whole world! Real peace will finally come to Jerusalem!

Separation not Compromise
Lev 20:24-26
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

West Bank settlements lead Israeli population growth
The population in settlements in the West Bank grew three times as fast as in Israel overall in 2002, the Central Bureau of Statistics said Tuesday.
The population of West Bank settlements grew by 5.7 percent in 2002, while the overall population of Israel and Jewish areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip grew by 1.9 percent, the bureau said.
Bureau spokeswoman Yael Nathan said the West Bank growth was a jump from the 5 percent level in 2001, and was concentrated in settlements dominated by ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The settlements, which are fiercely opposed by the Palestinians, were expected to be discussed during Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's meeeting with U.S. President George W. Bush in Washington on Tuesday.
The bureau put Israel's total population at the end of 2002 at 6,631,000.
Nathan said that about 225,000 Jews lived in settlements in the West Bank and another 8,000 in the Gaza Strip. Included in Israel's population are some 1,200,000 Arabs.
One million two hundred thousand Arabs live in relative peace since 1948 under Israeli authority. Should Islam ever regain control over the Holy Land these Arabs would be marked for death right after all the Jews were exterminated. They prove there can be peace between Arab and Jew, and thus become traitors to the present Islamic post State of Israel way of thinking.
There is no reason why the Arabs of Judah, Samaria, and Gaza can't live in peace under Jewish authority as their 1,200,000 brothers who actually live better in Israel then they would in any of the Arab nations. It is why they remain in Israel!
What the world calls the West Bank the Bible calls Judah and Samaria. Mostly Orthodox Jews are moving onto these lands since 1967 when sovereignty shifted from Islam to the Jews. These latest statistics reveal Jewish population growth in Judah and Samaria is outpacing growth in all other areas of the Holy Land. The land as originally conquered by the twelve tribes, and then reoccupied at the first return of Ezra, Nehemiah are now becoming Jewish once again at this second miraculous return. Biblical prophecy has become reality in this our generation. Today, for the first time in 2000 years a New Testament prophecy can now be fulfilled. Bible scholars have long wondered how God would revive the twelve tribes of Israel as predicted in Revelation chapters 7 & 14.
Today for the first time in 2000 years Jews are living on the sovereign land of the twelve tribes. Twelve thousand undefiled virgin male Jews can now be called out of the land where each of the original tribes settled. The mystery of the 10 lost tribes which were never lost, but became false fodder for the cults is solved. The Jehovah Witnesses, and Mormon false claims about the 144,000 and 10 lost tribes can now be put to rest forever. The Jews are back to claim their destiny as the Bible always said! The children of Israel represented in this miraculous Second Return are literally ready to fulfill these prophecies of Revelation about the 144,000. The Christian cults are not the sovereigns over Judah and Samaria, but the Jews! It is the Jews who miraculously gained this sovereignty, and this very day are conquering the occupied lands from the Arabs.
The gentiles led by the US, EU, UN, and Russia are in turmoil over Jews returning to the lands of the twelve tribes. Their road map has only one evil purpose, and that is to give those lands to the Islamic Arab Palestinians. The gentiles will not stop God from fulfilling His promises to the Jews in the Book of Revelation. The secular Jewish politicians are also unable to control what God is doing in Judah and Samaria. Woe to all, both Jew and gentile, who would stand in the way of the God of the Bible!
12 Tribes of Israel
Rev 7:4-10
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Rev 14:3-5
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

NON-MUSLIM VISITS TO TEMPLE MOUNT SUSPENDED
Police abruptly suspended visits of non-Muslims to Jerusalem's Temple Mount on Wednesday, just weeks after the site was partially reopened for the first time in nearly three years, police said.
Jerusalem police said the decision to again close off Judaism's holiest site was made because of "operational considerations," and declined to say when the visits would be renewed.
Last month, police began permitting small groups of Jewish and Christian tourists as well as Israelis to enter the site. Officials from the Islamic Wakf, which maintains daily maintenance of the area, have opposed the decision, made without their consent or approval.
The heads of the Wakf had held an emergency stormy meeting last week to discuss the reopening of the site, with some officials demanding that the gates to the Temple Mount be closed to prevent Jews from entering the compound
Non-Muslims have been barred from the Temple Mount since Ariel Sharon's controversial visit in September 2000. Last week, in a chorus of criticism lead by the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat warned of "grave consequences" if Israel continues to allow Jews to visit the Temple Mount.
*****
The on again off again opening of the Temple Mount is 100 % human politics. The value of the Temple Mount to Moslem's, Christian's, and Jew's is only the value of political advantage each can gain. Not one of these religions has a real vision of what to do with the Temple Mount as commanded by God! Even Christian Evangelicals have no vision of what they would do were the sovereignty given them through the power of the present road map. Only Christian fundamentalism understands what must be done on the Temple Mount! The fundamentalists understand that the Mount is nether for Moslem or Christian. It is a Jewish place with a Jewish future. There will be nothing of either Moslem or Christian sovereignty connected to the Biblical future of the Mount.
Biblicalists wait! We wait for a prophet to reveal the vision of God to this generation of Jews. In this case it will be two prophets who will spend their entire ministry in Jerusalem within the very shadow of the Mount. I speculate that the ministry of the Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 will be to call for the building of the Third Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. They will have 3 1/2 years to accomplish their witness to the world. They will build Ezekiel's Temple! It will be their accomplishment that will testify to the accuracy of the Bible, and the center of all things in the Lord Jesus Christ. The coming Jewish Temple is prominent to the Great Tribulation. It is within the shadow of this place where the antichrist kills the Two Witnesses at the half-way point of the Great Tribulation, and sits on the throne designated for the returning Christ usurping His authority. It will be to this same Temple that the Lord Jesus Christ will accomplish His Second Coming at the end of the Great Tribulation to accept His authority over all the earth. It will be from this place that perfect justice will finally come to Jerusalem and the world.
The vision is from the Bible. The understanding comes from the heart.
Mic 4:1-8
4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
