Moslem Bedouins Charged with Retaliation-Rape
by Hillel
Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) The Nazareth Magistrates Court, which allowed the news to be announced on Tuesday, remanded four suspects for ten days and another one for five days, and placed a female accomplice under house arrest.
The gang is suspected of carrying out at least four rapes, abducting their victims from roadside bus stops and the like and taking them to isolated spots. The first incident occurred in April 2005, against a 13-year-old girl in Kiryat Yam, and the second and third took place eight months later - one against a 19-year-old soldier near Kiryat Ata, and another against a 16-year-old in Kiryat Bialik.
The fourth rape of which they are suspected occurred this past November outside their own mostly Moslem village of Bir Al-Maksur, in the lower Galilee 20 kilometers east of Haifa. The victim was a 25-year-old woman abducted from a bus stop.
One victim told investigators that the rapists had told her that it was in revenge for IDF operations in Gaza. This was echoed by one of the suspects during police questioning.
The police had a picture of one of the apparent suspects since December 2005, but chose not to publicize it, nor to issue warnings about the existence of the gang, "in order not to harm the investigation." So said sources in the Northern Police District, Haaretz reported.
Bedouin leaders in the Galilee expressed consternation and sorrow at the news, saying such acts opposed their values.
It is good to hear that the Bedouin people have a higher standard then their Islamic religion. The Islamic Arabs of Palestine rejoice at the news of such raping taking place. Anything that humiliates the Jews is always good news to the vast majority of Moslems. There is
no statement similar to what the Bedouins are saying coming anywhere from the Moslem world, and my thoughts are that the Bedouins will suffer as a result from their Moslem brothers. Islam has raised a generation of barbarians. The religion encourages such terroristic treatment be handed out to the Jews. Islamic righteousness dictates that there are no moral standards when it comes to terrorizing the Jews. Such unrestricted morals application is extended to any who might help the Jews such as America. That is why I think the Bedouins are walking on thin ice by releasing a statement of resentment against this gang of rapists. It can easily be twisted in the Moslem world into a statement that helps the Jews, and takes glory away from Allah. I expect Bedouin leadership is going to suffer while efforts will be made to turn the rapists into heroes. It will be the Islamic religion that will be the driving force behind such twisting. The Nazareth Magistrate Court has already gone a long way in setting the stage for how the world should view these rapists. Nazareth justice exemplifies Islamic justice as the Court is fully influenced by Islamic Arabs. It is right (an Islamic righteous act) to rape, kill, terrorize, or do anything whatever to the Jews. This is the glory of Islam! The God of the Bible has an entirely different standard not only on righteousness, but also toward the Jews. This is the difference between the Bible and the Koran. The Bible is the book about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is the book about Jewish history culminating in the coming of the promised Jewish Messiah. Mohamed rejected the Bible, and wrote the Koran to usurp this God of creation with his fictitious god of the Arabs. Mohamed accepted only the first 12 chapters of Genesis up to the time of Abraham then picked and chose other Biblical excerpts. He then blasphemously rewrote history to humiliate the Jews and Christians, and to glorify his false god Allah. He brought Christ down to his corrupted level as just a man, and then lifted himself above Christ by claiming his writings have more authority then those of Christ. The Koran is intended not only to replace the Old Testament, but also the New Testament. The Koran is about the Islamic Arab god of Abraham, Ishmael, and Esau through which seed came Mohamed the blasphemer.
Today, Islam is about destroying all truth that backs the Bible. The existence of the Jews is a particular truth that must be eliminated. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will always make Allah nothing more then blasphemy. Islam has pumped up the barbarians of their own making into believing that they are the generation Allah has raised up to destroy the Jews. This is why Hamas had such an
overwhelming victory in the last democratic elections held among the Islamic Arabs of Palestine. Hamas would win by an even grater margin were elections held today. Allah must be glorified above the Jews. The brutal animalistic rape of Jewish woman must be nothing more then a misdemeanor for now, and an act of greatest righteousness in the future.
Friend, the God of the Bible will make His righteousness rule. His intent in the Holy Land is to bring in the next dispensation. The Church Age is coming to an end, and the Kingdom Age is about to replace it. It is the plan of God to have His King of Glory rule planet earth. His standard will be Biblical righteousness. A righteousness that the Koran and Allah oppose. I tell you true. All who refuse to submit to the coming Christ as the LORD of Glory will perish. He is coming again as the same King of the Jews the same indictment as they put upon His cross at Calvary. Friend, have you come to this Christ of the Bible as your LORD and Savior? Why not settle the issue right now, and ask Him to save you. Islam is destine for the dung heap. Only the Bible which reveals God's plan through Christ for all eternity will continue into eternity future. Friend, come to Christ, and live!

Psalms 46:4-7
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Three Gazan women murdered in 'honor killings' since Monday
Both Israeli and Palestinian media outlets are reporting that at least three Palestinian women have been murdered in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, their bodies having been found yesterday and Monday in the northern Strip. Although the motive for the killings remains unclear, officials are speculating that male relatives murdered the three women in the context of "honor killings." Such murders are not unusual among Palestinians and in many Arab countries, and often go unreported. At least 25 women are murdered every year in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for "bringing shame" on their male relatives. "We are living in a jungle," Siham Aladdin, who works for a local women's organization, told The Jerusalem Post. "The Palestinian police aren't doing anything because they are afraid of the families and because they 'understand' the motives."
Gaza synagogues now bases to attack Israel
The New York Sun ran a story today about the ruins of two large synagogues in evacuated Jewish communities of the Gaza Strip that have been transformed into military bases used by Palestinian terrorists to fire rockets at Israeli cities, according to a senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror group. When Israel withdrew from the Gaza in the summer of 2005, Palestinians immediately destroyed most of the 20 synagogues of the Jewish communities that had been left intact, and a PRC spokesman told The Sun that the area in which the synagogues once stood is now used to train terrorists and fire rockets at Israel.
Bad Math in 'Lost Tomb of Jesus' Film
A study released Wednesday by has cast doubts on the statistical methods used in the new documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" to conclude there is a 599-out-of-600 chance a burial cave in Talpiot was the family tomb of Christ. Dr. Stephen Pfann of the University of the Holy Land reviewed the record of inscribed Jewish names on first century ossuaries found in Jerusalem, and out of 917 ossuaries in Israel's custody, only 231 (25.2%) are inscribed with Hebrew names. Of these, "Yeshua" occurs 10 times, while Mary occurs 20 times or on roughly half of the ossuaries inscribed with female names. He thus contends that the methods and findings of the documentary team are "based upon a number of fallacies and a general misuse of statistics." Pfann was consulted for the film and has been invited by The Discovery Channel to join a panel of experts to discuss the documentary the week after its airing. Click Here to read Dr. Pfann's report in full
The barbarian culture of Islam is functioning well in the Gaza Strip now that the Jewish military has been removed. Father, uncle, cousin, and brother barbarians mercilessly murder their own female relatives for so called family honor. Should any Moslem woman not agree to this Islamic male dominated culture they put their lives on the line. These barbarians not only rape and kill Jewish women and children,
but they do the same to their own. Here is the dog that comes back to bite. Raising a generation on hate has bad consequences. To kill the conscience so the newly hatched barbarians can kill both Jewish woman and children without remorse brings with it the dog who comes back to bite. The Moslem women who raised these Islamic barbarians now find they are often the victims of their own making. It takes a really cold heart out of any culture for a male member to murder a female family member. This is not normal! That is it is not normal outside of the Islamic religion. It is barbaric! Any culture that approves such behavior has also sunk into the very depths of depravity. They are beyond repentance much as the God of the Bible determined the condition of the Canaanites during the First Exodus. The God of the Bible is never going to share His Holy Land with such a culture. The Road Map is the greatest example of foolishness ever contrived by wicked men when God's standards are examined. God would not tolerate the barbarian Canaanites during the First Exodus, and will not stand for the barbaric Arab Palestinians sharing His Holy Land in the Third Exodus. God used Joshua and the Jews to break the back of the old Canaanite culture which dominated the Promised Land in the days of the First Exodus. The Jews of this generation are of lesser quality. They are mostly liberal secular Jews who have no interest in their own Biblical heritage. They think by their own wit they can pacify the barbarian. They think they have no need of the God of the Bible. All that is about to change. God is about to purge these barbarians from His Holy Land. This God of the Bible is very clear that He will do the purging so none other can claim the glory. The purpose in the coming purging of the Holy Land is as clear.
Ezekiel 38:23
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
KJV
Ezekiel 39:7
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.
KJV
Both the heathen, and the liberal secular Jews will know who this God of the Bible is after He purges the Holy Land. The heathen will be dead, and the Jews will be spurred to build the Last Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. Ezekiel 39 is the end of all Islamic influence in the Holy Land. Holiness is critical to the plans the God of the Bible has for the Holy Land. Purity, and Biblical righteousness must be established. There is no room for the barbarians in such a future plan. The heart of the barbarian must turn, or the body will be destroyed. Depravity is on the way out, and holiness is on the way in!
Moslems today just giggle at the hearing of the Jewish Synagogues of Gaza having now been turned into barbarian military bases. They rejoice in their depravity. It makes them giddy to think their blasphemous Allah is having the upper hand. They are even more giddy to see Discovery Channel bring Christ down to the level of a liar. They claim a 599 out of 600 chance that they have His body! The barbarians have held this position ever since the Koran was written. Mohamed taught that Christ was no higher then him. He claimed Christ was just a prophet like he falsely claimed of himself. Then he raised himself above Christ by saying his Arabic prophecies take precedence over those of the Jewish Christ. This blasphemer, and his seed are about to run their full course. Today, they intend to take the Holy
Land for themselves using their barbaric ways to accomplish the task. They are about to run head on with Biblical holiness. The righteous God of the Bible is about to judge these wicked people. Their wickedness has reached the depravity of the old Canaanites, and all evidence points to the fact that they are beyond repentance. They are never going to change from their wicked ways. The more they are exposed to holiness; the harder their hearts will become.
The God of the Old Testament, The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is about to magnify Himself once again as He did in days of old. This is the God who revealed Himself in the Bible as never changing. He is about to sanctify Himself in the eyes of many nations. The challenge of Islam against this Third Exodus is soon to be answered. The challenge of this wicked generation that would turn the LORD Jesus Christ into a liar is about to run head on with Biblical holiness. Friend, this head on confrontation is about to turn your life inside out. No one will be able to stand on the sidelines once these prophecies take place. You need a place of refuge. You need a Savior. You need the LORD Jesus Christ! It is the holiness of the God of the Bible that the heathen rage today wanting to break the bands. They want the Koran, and the Islamic righteousness of the barbarian to rule over the Holy Land. Both Jew and Gentile of this generation are guilty. However, no power on earth can stop God from fulfilling His will for the Holy Land. Friend, there is no more time. Come to Christ, and live!
Psalms 2:1-3
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.
KJV
Acts 4:25-27
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage , and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

90% of Palestinian youth deny Israel's right to
exist 
A recent poll released by Near East Consulting, a Palestinian research institute, asked Palestinians, "Does Israel have the right to exist?" The findings revealed that among Palestinians aged 18-25, the demographic most influenced by the education system of the Palestinian Authority, as many as 93% denied Israel's right to exist. The PA education system and media body is rife with denial of Israel's right to exist, which would explain the high levels of denial of Israel's legitimacy throughout Palestinian society.
90 % of the Palestinian youth deny Israel the right to exist, and 80 % of the Israeli Jews do not believe in God. What a task the God of the Bible has before Him. Most would say a final victory for God in the Holy Land is impossible. I say judgment is coming, and only a
small remnant will gain the victory. The Bible is not written for the masses of wicked men who allow apathy to be their attitude toward Him. The Bible is written to the few who submit. We come by faith believing that God is all He says He is in the Bible. Our faith is often tested, but our God never fails. The plan of God through the return of Christ to the Holy Land seems impossible at this time. The Palestinians don't want Him to come, and even worse the Jews of Israel don't want Him to come. It almost sounds like the world of 2000 years ago on that first Christmas morning is here again. Only a few individuals were ready at that First Coming. One here, and one there. An unorganized remnant of faithful believers.
Luke 2:25-32
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
KJV
No great organized movement was needed by God to accomplish the resurrection victory of Christ at His first coming, and no great organization is needed by God to establish His Kingdom at this coming return. Jesus was the enemy of organized religion at His first coming, and the same will be true when He comes again. The world as a whole remained apathetic to the First Coming. Only the historian Josephus made reference to Christ, and that only in passing. It is no wonder that the world of today is in apathy as this miraculous Third Exodus unfolds before our eyes. The answer of our own Evangelical White House is the blasphemous Road Map of which 90 % of this generation's Palestinians say will be of no influence over their attitude to peace with the Jews. The masses all oppose God's plan in the Bible to bring peace to planet earth. The masses are of no account! The Bible is written to the small remnant of believers, not the masses of wicked men. They were called hypocrites by Christ at His First Coming, and His evaluation of their worth will not change when He comes again.
Matthew 16:11-12
11
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?12
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.KJV
The doctrine of religion that is not 100 %Biblical with no human contamination is called the leaven that ruins the whole lump making it worthless in the eyes of God. Folks, the masses never came to Christ the first time, and do not expect them to come when He comes again. They will rather hold on to their religions and philosophies filled with leaven then let go of all that filth for the purity of Christ.
It takes faith in the Road Map to believe the Palestinian Arabs will change once they have their own State. This is not faith, but foolishness. It was foolish to believe Hitler could be pacified through give away negotiations, and it is just as foolish to think this generation of Palestinians will ever be good neighbors to the Jews. Wicked men are always foolish men. Biblical salvation offered to lost sinners through Christ is rejected foolishly by the masses of the wicked. There are only a few passages in the Bible written to the wicked. God knows they will never read them. or make any attempt to respond if they should. God does not waste His time with the evil
majority. Their condemnation is quick, and final. Never again will they be a factor in eternity future. We will never hear from them again. We will never be nagged by their calls for relief of what they consider unfair judgment, and unfair righteousness. They will be tucked out of sight forever in a place of torment. The glories of heaven, and eternal life will never deal with evil again. Sin has an end in the Bible! Sinners, however, have an eternal existence, but they will be out of sight never to raise their filthy heads again. Their filthy hypocritical religions will never challenge the gentle Christ, and His faithful redeemed saints. Heaven is forever, and so is hell. We will abide in Christ, they will abide in outer darkness. The 80 %'s and 90 %'s of this generation who would be the children of the coming Biblical Kingdom are about to share a different fate.
Matthew 8:11-12
11
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.KJV
Friend, what about you?
What kind of child of the Kingdom will you be? Nothing can stop the return of the LORD Jesus Christ. Here in our generation nothing can stop Him from establishing His Kingdom in the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. Will you share this coming Kingdom with Christ here on earth, or will you be cast into outer darkness? The choice is yours. Are you are willing to separate yourself from the masses, and come to the Christ of the Bible? Oh friend, join the small remnant of lost sinners who know their only refuge is in Christ. Won't you come to Him right now? Won't you let the Biblical Christ forgive you of your sins, and save you?
Revelation 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.
1
3 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.

Friday 2nd March, 2007 (IANS)
Moscow, March 2 (RIA Novosti) Russia wants Israel, which has never admitted its nuclear status but is believed to possess nuclear weapons, to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to establish a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East, the Russian foreign minister has said.
'We believe that the practical implementation of a nuclear-free zone will become possible only when all countries in the region, including Israel, join the NPT and subject their activities to the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),' Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with Syrian Arab News Agency, published Friday by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The issue of nuclear arms has became topical in the Middle East ever since the US began accusing Iran of pursuing a covert nuclear arms programme and demanding that it cease its uranium enrichment activities.
Unlike Iran, Israel, a traditional ally of the US in the region, has not signed the NPT.
'Russia's principled position that Israel should join the NPT and all Arab countries should join the Chemical Weapons Convention remains unchanged,' the Russian minister said.

I can tell you from my recent trip to Israel that I saw (even though I am blind) the facility where Israel makes their nuclear bombs. The local populous openly call it their nuclear power plant. The facility has the highest security precautions of any site in the world. We drove right past it's walls on our way to Tell Aviv. Jews officially have been very disciplined to keep this not so secret site an official secret. The nations all know the truth that Israel is a nuclear power, and now the Russians want that truth brought to the light. I don't know but that the prophecy in Ezekiel 38 & 39 that describes the Russian inspired Islamic invaders entering a land of unwalled cities might not refer directly to this very facility?
Ezekiel 38:11-12
11
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will goto them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.KJV
I am convinced this push by the Russians will be successful. A nuclear free Middle East plays right into the hands of the Islamic barbarians, and seems to explain the unwalled predictions of Ezekiel that puts the Jews at rest giving them a feeling of dwelling safely just before the invasion takes place. It sounds like this may be the key that puts the Road Map into action. An agreement by the Jews to give up their nuclear deterrents for a gentile peace plan that according to Ezekiel will not work. Ezekiel reveals that the phony peace that causes the unwalled cities is really the call that releases the Islamic barbarians to invade. The NPT envisioned by the proud worldly politicians to bring peace to the world while ignoring the God of the Bible will rather release the hounds of hell. The Islamic barbarians will use this coming NPT outcome of the Road Map as Allah opening the door for them to exterminate the Jews of Israel much as a hunter purses his prey. The Koran encourages the barbarians that invasion is the only solution to this miraculous Third Exodus taking place during our generation. Folks, an Islamic invasion will never take place as long as the Jews possess the bomb. The Last Holy Jewish Temple standing on the Temple Mount will never happen as long as Islam has an influence over the Holy Land. Ezekiel 39 ends that Islamic influence forever opening the door for the building of a Jewish Temple. Every Exodus of the past resulted in a Holy Jewish Temple being built on the spot where the Islamic Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock shrines now stand. These mosques are built upon Jewish foundations as every archaeologist can testify. They must be bulldozed away before a Holy Jewish Temple could ever even be contemplated. The Temple Mount must be cleansed! The filth of the millennia must be purged.
The Jews already gave up Jericho with the Gaza withdrawal. This Exodus with this generation of liberal secular Jews is going in reverse. Now they are planning to give away Judah and Samaria. This despite the disaster that the Gaza withdrawal has proven to be with all the Kassam rockets from the Gaza raining down on the Jews. The mind set of these proud politicians is that they must press on no matter how much reality says this is the wrong road to peace. The give away of Judah will include almost all of the city of Jerusalem which the whole world knows the Arab Palestinians intend to rub the face of the God of the Bible in the mud by making it their heathen capital. Next will be the sovereignty the Jews now have over the Temple Mount. I believe this will be the last straw with God. With all this give away by these secular liberal Jewish politicians the give away of their nuclear deterrents is but a little thing.
Yes, the Road Map adopted by our own Evangelical White House from the atheistic Russians and Europeans is on the way. The Gog is rising up to destroy Israel. This generation stands not in aw, but in apathetic lukewarm response to what is happening. Evangelical Christianity stands in the forefront of all the apathy. It is time for dispensational change.
Friend, are you prepared for the future plans of the God of the Bible? Have you accepted the LORD Jesus Christ as your Savior? Everything connected with this miraculous Third Exodus is connected to the return of the LORD Jesus Christ. There will be no fence sitting. The God of the Bible is wiping out apathy forever. Either you stand with Christ, or you stand alone in the eyes of God. He will judge you with the standard being the righteousness of the LORD Jesus Christ. You will fall by your own works unless you are abiding in Christ. Friend, it is critical that you come to Christ for the forgiveness of your sins before judgment comes to you. Don't let apathy triumph. Come to Christ, and live!
John 15:10
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.KJV
Ezekiel 38:14-17
14
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?15
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: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.1
7 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?KJV

Salah urges Muslim states to halt 'Judaization' of Jerusalem
By Danny Rubinstein and
Yoav Stern, Haaretz
Correspondents
Sheikh Ra'ad Salah, the leader of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, called Monday in Cairo for the Arab and Muslim worlds to take measures to halt the excavations near the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City.
In a news conference in the Egyptian capital, Salah called on television stations in Muslim countries to devote their opening stories to the dig, and on the governments of those countries to set up a special fund to collect contributions "to save Jerusalem from attempts by the Israeli establishment to 'Judaize' it."
Salah and Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, head of the Supreme Muslim Council of Jerusalem, met Saturday with Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa.
They expressed hope that the issue would be included on the agenda of the summit of Arab foreign ministers to be held in Cairo on Sunday.
In addition to the Arab League delegation, an Islamic Movement delegation returned this weekend from a trip to Turkey, where they met with senior Turkish officials expected to arrive in Israel this week.
On Thursday, Azzam al-Hatib was appointed head of the Muslim Waqf, or religious authority, replacing Adnan al-Husseini.
The position of leader of the Waqf is the most important within the Muslim hierarchy of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem's Waqf is sponsored by Jordan. The peace agreement between Israel and Jordan stipulates that the Jordanian government holds a special status in the maintenance of Islamic holy places in the city.
For several years, Jordan has been trying to limit the activity of Muslim authorities, including Hamas officials and Salah himself, on issues concerned with Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Palestinian Authority officials have also expressed dissatisfaction at Salah's activities.
Sabri, the former mufti of Jerusalem, was removed from his position by the PA for his close relations with Salah.
Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, considered a favorite of the Jordanian regime, was appointed in his place.
In recent years, cooperation between Israel and Jordan has increased in all areas related to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
For the past two years, Israel Police have prevented many Palestinians from entering the Temple Mount, including Waqf employees identified with Hamas, and many of those employed by the Palestinian Authority.
As well, Israel and Jordan have recently cooperated on restricting Salah's movement in the area of the mosque.
Here is the answer to the crises in the Middle East and throughout the world. It is to force Islam to admit that the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount are Jewish! They have been historically Jewish since the miraculous First Exodus, and they have become Jewish again during this miraculous Third Exodus. Islam must step aside for the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The false god Allah of the
Koran must give way to the coming King of Glory. The whole world must step aside for this Great God of the Bible has determined this is the generation in which dispensational change will take place. It is we who are witness to this Third Exodus that will see the transition from the gentile Church Age to the Jewish Kingdom Age. The King of the Jews is coming again, and the world does not posses the power to stop Him. We of this generation can either fight Him, or submit to His authority to rule.
There is hardly a politician in the world who is on the LORD's side. The politicians line up with the Road Map which is aimed at stopping the coming Kingdom. They hope to put the worst barbarians in the world right where the Bible says Christ will return. They hope to fill the Holy Land promised to the Jews with the blood thirsty Arab Palestinians. Hamas is a better choice by not just the politicians, but also the religious leaders of this world. They all prefer Hamas over the Jews as the people to greet the LORD Jesus Christ when He comes again.
Islam is pressing their claims of usurpation over the Temple Mount. This despite the clear fact that their Al Aqsa Mosque is built upon a Jewish foundation laid down in the times of Christ by King Herod when he renovated the Second Holy Jewish Temple established by Zerubbabel and Joshua the High Priest during the miraculous Second Exodus. Islam wants what God has given the Jews, and today is the day they have decided to make their move.
The secular liberal Jewish politicians are lined up on the side of the Road Map. They know 80% of their constituency do not believe in God. They want a secularized Israel where they can practice their worldly wisdom to advance their own wealth and fame. They have no intent to ever step down, and turn over the reigns to men of God. They would rather have Hamas their neighbor then let God take away their influence.
The God of the Bible. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is driving this generation to chose. We must decide upon who's side we are on! The politicians and the religious leaders are on the side of the Road Map. Friend, where do you stand? The God of the Bible is about to bring in a Kingdom of absolute puritanical righteousness. Sin is going to be outlawed. The price is that mankind will have to practice self control. The giving into the lusts of this world will not be allowed. There will be no democratic governments, or man made religions. The governments will be ruled over by Christ the perfectly sinless King. There will be no religions allowed. The religion of the coming Kingdom, if that is a relative word, will be Christ, and Christ alone. The rule book for the Kingdom will be the Bible as interpreted by the Jewish Christ and Christ alone. He will be the Jewish King as He was at His first coming long before there was a thing called Christianity. Truth, purity, righteousness, and holiness is what Christ expected of His followers, not another religion added to the books. There will be no rights to sin, and only Biblical righteousness will be allowed. Folk's this is where this miraculous Third Exodus is
heading, and none can stop it. The Bible says at the end of this dispensation God is going to draw all the gentile nations into the Valley of Armageddon (Jehoshaphat), and plead with them the cause of Israel. The cause of His Son who will rule Israel, and the world with puritanical righteousness for the next thousand years. God will plead, but the gentile nations are predicted to reject His pleads and His Christ. This is why the gathering place is called the valley of decision. Friend, the heathen are awake this very day. What about you. Have you awakened as to what the God of the Bible is doing in the Holy Land? Do you understand the Jews are back in their Promised Land again today because God is forcing this generation to chose? Have you come to this Christ of the Bible? Friend, if you are not saved you are rejecting this coming King of righteousness, and your decision is clear to God. The God who says on that Great Day of the LORD He will be dwelling in Zion. He will be on His Holy Mountain (The Temple Mount), and on that day the entire city of Jerusalem will be absolutely perfect because of His presents. Joel declares to all the heathen, to all the world, Jerusalem will be holy! The LORD Jesus Christ will have returned!
Joel 3:12-17
12
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.13
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.14
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.15
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.16
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.17
So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.KJV

Iran's Proxy War Against Israel Expands
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(IsraelNN.com) Iran is expanding its influence among the ranks of the Arab terrorist organizations targeting Israel.
General Security Services (Shabak) Director Yuval Diskin told a group of foreign journalists on Monday that dozens of Hamas terrorists have arrived in Iran for advanced weapons and tactics training. He told the reporters that hundreds more Hamas terrorists are expected to follow the first contingent, as well.
The Iranian involvement in Hamas training is a development that Diskin characterized as a greater strategic danger to Israel than the thousands of weapons smuggled into the Gaza Strip across the Egyptian border. Diskin warned that Israel “will have to do something about it” if the process of Iranian involvement continues
Iran pledged US$50 million to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority government shortly after it was elected in 2006, when it became clear that the Western assistance to the PA was to be cut off. Also in 2006, Israel publicly charged that Iran had already been supporting Hamas with tens of millions of US dollars annually for the Hamas offices in Damascus.
The Islamic Republic currently supports the Shiite Hizbullah in Lebanon, which relatively successfully fought a direct war with Israel in the summer of 2006. Iran provides the organization with weapons, money and training. Despite the periodic bloody clashes elsewhere in the Middle East between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, the Hizbullah itself funnels Iranian support to the Sunni Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Palestinian Authority. The PIJ has been sending its own men to Lebanon and Iran for training for some time, as well.
The PIJ claimed responsibility for two Kassam rockets that were launched from northern Gaza Tuesday morning. Four people were lightly injured in the attack. One rocket landed near the port city of Ashkelon and the other in farmland outside Kibbutz Zikkim, in the western Negev. The wounded were brought to Barzilai Hospital.
Later in the day, the PIJ boasted that it possesses longer-range rockets, which can reach farther north than Ashkelon. Abu Ahmed, spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades of the PIJ, told the Israeli news service Ynet that the terrorists “will continue to respond to all the enemy’s crimes, even if it happens in the West Bank.
In addition to the PIJ, the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies noted in 2004 that Fatah terrorists in the PA also received hundreds of thousands of shekels from Iran and Hizbullah
Beyond its support for Islamist terrorist groups focused on Israel, Iran also uses the Shiite insurgents in Iraq as proxy agents to fight the United States; and the Iranians have generously contributed to Islamic movements and insurgencies in the Balkans, in the Persian Gulf's Arab kingdoms, in Turkey and in Africa.
It is impotent to note the Iranian supported terrorists are clear that they will continue their attacks on Israel from the West Bank just like they are now doing from the Gaza. The Road Map is based on the premise that by giving the Islamic Arab barbarians their own State that this will produce peace. The Islamic Arabs on the other hand are already saying they will never stop terrorizing Israel even if
they get their own State. The Islamic Arabs of Palestine have been nurtured to so hate the Jews that the idea of peace is just out of the question. As long as they can't exterminate the Jews, they will torture them forever if that is how long it takes. These Arabs hate the Jews. They will never be peaceful neighbors.
Iran has said as long as the Palestinians kill Jews they will give them all the money and weapons they need. Hizbullah has not only rearmed to pre-Lebanon war days, but actually is better armed with more and better weapons smuggled across the Syrian boarder all supplied by Iran. Now Iran is doing the same for Hamas rearming them with more and better weapons smuggling them across the Egyptian boarder. An event that was not possible before the Gaza withdrawal when the Israeli Army controlled the boarder crossing.
The Road Map is playing right into the hands of the Iranians. They dream of new launching pads for more sophisticated Kassams that will rain down on the Jews. They see their expansion into Samaria and Judah (West Bank) as Allah so blinding the infidels that they can openly boast of what they are going to do once this part of the Holy Land is given to Islam.
Islam knows these lily livered liberal Jews will give them everything they want. They think this is the work of their false Arabic god Allah. What they do not believe is that the God of the Bible is only chastening this generation of Jews. Islam is being used by the God of the Bible to drive the Jews of this generation into repentance. The plan of God is for the Jews to build the Last Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. A Temple with a throne! A throne prepared for the soon return of the Jewish Messiah. A throne upon which will sit the LORD Jesus Christ when He returns.
Ezekiel 43:7
7
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.KJV
This passage is from a prophecy about the millennial Temple yet to be built on the Temple Mount. It is a Jewish Temple with an Altar for blood sacrifice. It is a future Temple with a throne! Folks, the dream of Iran is going to be crushed. The faith that they have put in the false god Allah will be their doom. The liberal Jews of today are predicted to be chastened. The God of the Bible is preparing them to be refined until all the dross of sin is removed. God has said He will put a new heart within them. A heart that will drive them to the Bible not religion. They will forsake all the false teachings of the past, and Biblical Judaism based on Christ will bloom. God is going to restore Biblical Judaism as it once was at the beginning before the hypocrites got hold of it and turned it into a religion.
Isaiah 1:24-28
24
Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:25
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:26
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.27
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.KJV
Right
now the liberal Jews of Israel are the enemies of God. They are His adversary
playing right into the hands of the heathen barbarians. Their pride is so
great that they think they can handle anything through their own wit. This
generation of Jews think they have no real need of God, or His Bible to guide
them. All that is about to change. God i9s about to perform a miracle among
the Jews. THe God of the Bible is going to redeem them! What about you dear
friend. Have you been redeemed through Christ? Have you come to Him for the
forgiveness of your sins? Have you allowed Him to change your heart? Oh
friend, without Christ you will be lost forever. The Bible is clear that it is
impossible to keep the statutes and ordinances of the Holy God of the Bible
unless He change your heart. Friend, only Christ through His blood has such
power. Won't you come to Him for the miracle of salvation?
Ezekiel 11:19-20
19
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:20
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.KJV
Deuteronomy 30:6
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.KJV
Jeremiah 24:7
7
And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.KJV
Jeremiah 31:33-34
33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.KJV

Hamas: We'll trade ceasefire for end to boycott
World Bank warns of
impending PA economic collapse

According to reports, the Palestinian Hamas and Fatah groups are willing to offer the promise of a total ceasefire with Israel - including Kassam rocket fire and suicide bombings - if Israel will persuade the international community not to boycott the incoming Palestinian unity government. Palestinian sources told the Israel media that Fatah leader and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas plans to deliver this offer at his upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, possibly on Sunday.
According to his aides, Olmert is planning to use the upcoming meeting with Abbas to ensure that the new PA government, which is currently being formed, accepts the Quartet's conditions: recognizing Israel, renouncing violence and honoring previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements. Israel is also working to persuade the European Union - one of the Quartet's four members, along with the United States, Russia and the United Nations - to continue the boycott should the unity government not meet these three conditions.
Based on a power-sharing agreement reached last month, the Hamas terror movement and Abbas's Fatah party have been attempting to form a coalition government, but expectations are low that the new body will meet the conditions of acceptance. Should the unity government not accept the Quartet's conditions, Israel will likely also impose a boycott on Fatah.
Meanwhile, according to a World Bank report obtained by The Associated Press, the Palestinian Authority is facing a fiscal crisis that could threaten its existence, largely because a constantly expanding public payroll despite sharply reduced revenues. The rapid decline of the Palestinian economy coincides with the international aid boycott, with most development programs having been cut and an unemployment rate of 25 percent in the West Bank, and 36 percent in Gaza.
Sderot shelters not ready for Gaza escalation
IDF
warns of possible mass rocket attacks on Gaza perimeter
Ha'aretz reports that residents of the Israeli city of Sderot on the Gaza border are preparing their bomb shelters for long-term use in case Palestinian terror elements intensify their Kassam missile attacks, something that IDF officials have recently warned could happen very soon.
In the next few days, the Sderot municipality is expected to request NIS 6 million from the Defense Ministry to fund the preparation of almost 60 large shelters for an extended stay.
The preparations have been sparked by recent IDF warnings that if the Gaza Strip security situation gets any worse, Palestinian rocket crews could launch as many as 100 Kassam rockets a day at Sderot.
IDF forces have spent the last few months training for a serious Gaza escalation, and the most recent intelligence indicates that Hamas and Islamic Jihad have greatly improved the deadliness, precision and range of their rockets.
Well, what will it be? 100 Kassams a day, or peace on Sunday? The best anyone can do is speculate, but only Sunday will prove what is the truth. It is the same with prophecy. The prophecies in the Bible unlike the news speculations do come true. It is just the "when" that causes all the speculation on the part of those who delve into the depths of their meaning. The Bible is the only guide, and today's news
the only indicator that a prophesy is near to being fulfilled. I have listened to those phony charismatic Bible thumpers who claim God speaks to them personally, but they are no closer to speculating on Bible prophecy then those of us who know they are charlatans. There is not one of them who can tell any of us what this Sunday is going to bring. There is a prophecy in the Bible that I know is aimed at the charlatans of today. All those big named charismatics who draw the gullible to follow the phony christs that they present to the world. I remember one who had a multistory tall christ telling him to build a great hospital. Millions of dollars that could have supported honest missionaries was duped from the flock, and wasted on that white elephant which I believe is still standing empty in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Again, I don't know when, but I know it will be soon when this Biblical prophecy about this modern Charismatic movement will come to pass.
Matthew 7:19-23
19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.KJV
My friend, if you have been suckered into this modern charismatic movement let this prophecy from the Bible give you a moment of pause. A multi-storied christ is not the Christ of the Bible. People who claim christ talks to them are talking to another christ other then the Christ of the Bible. The Bible is the only means of communication authorized by God for this dispensation. It has worked well over the millennium before this Charismatic movement ever started. There is another prophecy in the Bible about the last days before the LORD Jesus Christ returns.
Matthew 24:21-26
21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.25
Behold, I have told you before.26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.KJV
It seems to me the foundation is being laid in our generation for just such false christs as are spoken of in the above prophecy. We have already been told of a false christ who supposedly appeared in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the gullible followed throwing their money away for nothing. Friend, I'm going to tell you something I know beyond a shadow of a doubt. First, it is not doctrine that saves, but the LORD Jesus Christ. Second, the christ of the prosperity crowd that uses magic healers to draw in the gullible claiming modern day miracles, and the casting out of demons is not the Christ of the Bible!
Friend, it is up to you to seek Christ. The Bible warns you that there are false christs. The Christ of the Bible is perfect. When He heals it is perfect. When He saves it is forever. Beware that you are not duped by the false christs all staking out their territories in the desert or secret chambers in these days before the Great Tribulation. Be wise! The christ of the liberal main line denominations is not the Christ of the Bible! The christ of the Mormons and other cults is not the Christ of the Bible! The christ of the Roman Catholic Church is most certainly not the Christ of the Bible!
Friend, I can only speculate as to who is saved, and who is following a false christ. Death or the rapture will be the day when the truth will be revealed. Those who have put their faith, and trust in the Christ of the Bible will go into His presents. Those who have rejected the Christ of the Bible will go to sheol (hell), or be left behind. Today, we can only speculate, but the truth is inevitably going to take place. Judgment is coming to planet earth. The God of the Bible who knows the heart will be the Judge. He has given ample warning that the false christs are out there doing their mischief. The Bible is there too, and is more the adequate to reveal the truth. Friend, the Bible says God will deliver you from the hands of the evildoers, but you must be willing to separate yourself from their influence. Won't you come out from among them, and live in the integrity of the Bible. Let the Christ of the Bible deliver you from the wicked false christs of our generation.
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,18
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.KJV
Psalms 7:8-11
8
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.10
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.KJV
Psalms 139:23-24
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:24
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.KJV
Jeremiah 20:12-13
12
But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.13
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.KJV

Losing respect over 'lost tomb of Jesus'
Millions of
Christians are offended by the recent 'discovery' of the 'tomb of Jesus'
by Malcolm
Hedding
The documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" which claims that the burial cave of Jesus and his family, including a child, has been found in East Talpiot, in Jerusalem, has stirred controversy and drawn widespread media attention, much of it disturbing and even offensive.
It has been disturbing because serious scholars in the disciplines of archaeology and related scientific fields here in Israel have long ago debunked this claim as, at the very best, sensational.
However, the glee with which some in the print and broadcast media in Israel 'latched on' to this story was not only irresponsible but worrying. The anchor on one evening news broadcast pressed a scholar in an interview to assert that this discovery would shake Christianity to its core.
By this she meant that it would break the foundations of the faith, since Christianity rests squarely on the resurrection of Jesus! No resurrection, no Christianity! It is as simple as that.
Now, before we are accused of putting our heads in the sand, let me say that should there ever be conclusive proof, that is, totally verifiable proof that Jesus did not rise from the dead, we Christians would have to reconsider our position. It is my estimation, however, that this will never be found.
Further, the Hebrew Bible also contains accounts of resurrections and ascensions to heaven, so belief in such events should not be so easily dismissed by those of the Jewish faith.
Dubious science
It has been offensive, because this type of incautious reporting does nothing to improve Christian-Jewish relations. It furthers the offence and undermines the good work that we have all been doing in this regard. To use dubious science to discredit another religious system is unwise and unhelpful, and simply raises age–old antagonisms without cause.
Millions of Christians are being offended by this recent 'discovery' of the so–called tomb of Jesus in East Talpiot and the fact that reputable Israeli archaeologists and related scholars have shown restraint and responsibility in the face of this sensationalist 'find' should serve as a lesson to the media as well.
As a Christian minister with a proven track record of pro-Israel activism, I humbly ask our Israeli friends to desist from furthering this travesty.

For an insightful article on the claims made in the film The Lost Tomb of Jesus, see "Has the Tomb of Jesus Been Discovered?"
by Jodi Magness at the Biblical Archeological Review
Has The Tomb of Jesus Been Discovered?
... If the Talpiot tomb is indeed the tomb of Jesus and his family, we would expect at least some of the ossuary inscriptions to reflect their Galilean origins, by reading, for example, Jesus [son of Joseph] of Nazareth (or Jesus the Nazarene), Mary of Magdala, and so on. However, the inscriptions provide no indication that this is the tomb of a Galilean family and instead point to a Judean family.
The identification of the Talpiot tomb as the tomb of Jesus and his family is based on a string of problematic and unsubstantiated claims, including adding an otherwise unattested Matthew (Matya) to the family of Jesus; identifying an otherwise unknown son of Jesus named Judah; and identifying the Mariamne named on one of the ossuaries in the tomb as Mary Magdalene by interpreting the word Mara (which follows the name Mariamne) as the Aramaic term for “master” (arguing that Mariamne was a teacher and leader). To account for the fact that Mary/Mariamne’s name is written in Greek, the filmmakers transform the small Jewish town of Migdal/Magdala/Tarichaea on the Sea of Galilee (Mary’s hometown) into “an important trading center” where Greek was spoken. Instead, as in other Jewish towns of this period, generally only the upper classes knew Greek, whereas poorer Jews spoke Aramaic as their everyday language.
Taken individually, each of these points weakens the case for the identification of the Talpiot tomb as the tomb of Jesus and his family. Collectively these points are devastating, since the statistical analyses presented in the film are based on certain assumptions made about these names.
The identification of the Talpiot tomb as the tomb of Jesus and his family contradicts the canonical Gospel accounts of the death and burial of Jesus and the earliest Christian traditions about Jesus. The claim is also inconsistent with all of the available information—historical and archaeological—about how Jews in the time of Jesus buried their dead, and specifically the evidence we have about poor, non-Judean families such as that of Jesus. It is a sensationalistic claim without any scientific basis or support.
A few people are making a lot of money (blood money) claiming the Talplot tomb is the tomb of the Biblical Christ. Their basis is similar to someone going into a cemetery looking for a tombstone with the name Don on it, and then claiming I'm dead and buried there. Never
mind the last name, and surrounding family of origin has nothing to do with Srail. The real tragedy to this scheme for money, and fame is that Islam believes it with all their heart, soul, and might! This is just what they want to hear. The Bible is a lie! Now, the obvious lies of Islam can be held with clear conscience. Their rejection of the Bible has reinforcement. Moslems can relish that the Christians have brought the Bible down to the level of the Koran. They have brought Christ down to the level of Mohamed. They have brought the God of the Bible down to the level of the barbarian Arabic god Allah. And, now all Christianity must believe what Islam has been saying for almost 1700 years. There will be dancing in the streets of every Islamic country once the news gets out about the Talplot tomb. About a dead Jesus, his mistress, and his illegitimate son. Now, the resurrection has no more credence then Mohamed, and his flying horse which gives the Moslems their claim to the Temple Mount. Now, Islam can press their claims that King David and King Solomon are of the same authority that came up with a resurrected Christ. The same authority that claims the promises given to the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob makes them the chosen of God. Islam can now march forward claiming the world for their Arabic god of Abraham, Ishmael, and Esau. While a few folks are getting rich, the rest of us will face an even more barbaric assault from the Islamic hordes. A new fervor can now be nurtured among the young Islamic barbarians.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.KJV
It is clear to me what is the fate of these modern day money changers, and all who willingly follow their lead. Their blood money will prove only a curse to them, and no reporter will dare report the truth of what the future holds for them. Delusion such as the Talplot tomb is no surprise to the God of the Bible. The fact that all of Islam will cling to this false representation of the Christ of the Bible is no surprise. The real truth is it is proof of their coming condemnation. God is not mocked! Only shame will come to all those who salivate at the bringing down of the Christ of the Bible.
Isaiah 66:4-5
4
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.5
Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.KJV
Friend, I wonder if you have been under delusion? Religion is a product
of sinful men. It is filled with fly horses. The Vatican even has a flying
house! That is how they explain how the house where Mary lived got to Rome,
and it was not by 747. All this Arabian Nights magic of the religions of the
world draw away from the real miracles preformed by the only true God of the
Bible. The miracles are intended to authenticate the Word so we know it is not
a product of fallible men. The resurrection of Christ is the backbone of true
Christianity. The
liberals
have long ago gone to the "swoon" theory because miracles are beyond their
comprehension. The Bible is not the word of God to them, but rather a
diabolical concoction of religious groups rewriting, and redacting history as
they seek public acclaim.
The delusions for the wicked are legion, and it is the masses that will be ashamed in the end. Dear friend, it is all about faith. Faith that the Jesus Christ of the Bible is who He said He is! Should He be a liar, and the resurrection a fraud then there is no god and all religions are valueless. You may as well grab hold of some philosophy that makes you feel good, but you know deep down is just a bunch of baloney. Jesus said He is the Son of God! His life in the Bible is recorded without spot or blemish. He died the perfect sacrifice on Calvary, and was resurrected from the dead as proof His atonement for sin is acceptable to God the Father. It is His sacrificial blood that opens the door of forgiveness for sin. Friend, either you come to Christ for forgiveness, or you join the ranks of those who will only accept delusion. You must reject the truth, and seek the lie in order to reject Christ. Where do you stand? Friend, it is not religion. It is the LORD Jesus Christ! Do you understand the difference?
Exodus 3:14-15
14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.15

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?43
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.KJV
