(16:00) Palestinians throw hand grenades at soldiers in Hebron
Palestinians threw two hand grenades at an IDF patrol near the Hareth a-Sheikh neighborhood of Hebron a short while ago.
Soldiers and Palestinians exchanged fire.
There were no casualties.
(12:20) Leading Hamas terrorist killed by IAF in Hebron
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
An IAF Apache attack helicopter hovering above Hebron fired an air-to-surface missile at Jamil Jadalah just minutes ago, killing the Hamas terrorist on the spot.
Jadalah, a member of the Hamas military wing Izzadin Kassam, was responsible for a string of deadly attacks on Israeli targets.
Witnesses said he had been hiding out in his aunt's barn, knowing Israel considered him one of the most wanted militants.
The Israeli security establishment credits Jadalah with the bombings of Tel Aviv's Dolphinarium discotheque, Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria, the Nahariya train station, and Netanya's Sharon Mall.
According to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's media advisor, Jadalah himself killed Israelis Danny Vargas and Itamar Doron and was involved in dozens of additional shooting attacks.
Jadalah was reportedly planning a renewed bombing campaign inside the Green Line and was about to dispatch a suicide bomber when he was killed.
Security sources in the Hebron area said Jadalah was number eight on the list of wanted terrorists that Israel presented to the Palestinian Authority.
Hebron is where the Cave of Machpelah is located. It is the very first piece of land over the Jordan coming under Jewish sovereignty. It was purchased by Father Abraham as a burial place. King David made Hebron the first capital of all Israel until he was able to capture Jerusalem. Today, the struggle for Hebron is intense. The son's of Ishmael continue with their 4000 year old hatred for the natural promised seed of Abraham. God rejected Ishmael then, and continues to reject the sons of Ishmael today.
When Jesus is King, all the son's of Ishmael will be required to submit to the Jews as will all others. Hebron will again be Jewish. All would be resistors will have been destroyed by the Lord of hosts.
I long ago gave up my Bohemian heritage for something better. I have found a greater heritage through adoption which I embrace with all my heart, all my soul, and all my might. It is the promise offered to all the sons of man. However, there is no dual citizenship allowed. My new Father is jealous. He demands my total commitment. I have renounced my Bohemian heritage for a heavenly citizenship. I am (according to the Bible) a joint-heir with Christ. It is here that the son's of Ishmael must go!
Gen 23:8-9
8And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
KJV
Gen 25:12-13
12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, .....
KJV
Gal 4:22-31
22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
KJV
Rom 8:15-17
15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

KJV
What saith the scripture? The sons of Ishmael are cast out! God who sees everything from beginning to end says the sons of Ishmael will always (through all their history) represent the flesh. The religions that they choose through the ages are religions of the flesh. Even the style of Christianity that they choose is the fleshy religion of professing (the tares) Christianity. They have never been noted for supporting the God of Israel and the Bible in the last dispensation, or being born again spiritual possessors of Christ in this dispensation. It was these Christian sons of Ishmael who murdered the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon of which most blame Israel and Sharon in particular. I only wonder how many of those professing Christian murderers watched faithfully the 700 Club broadcast from their now defunct world class Lebanon TV station?
It is the Islamic religion of the flesh that the sons of Ishmael in Syria have chosen for theirs in the soon coming next dispensation. They will resist to the death the coming promised Kingdom of the Jewish Messiah/King. They will characterize it also as a terrorist state. They will picture their resistance to the coming Kingdom as martyred freedom fighters.
I guess it really does not matter what their choice may be. All that really matters is what God is going to do! He states very clearly that the sons of Ishmael ("the bondwoman and her son"), and all their religions of the flesh will be "cast out!" There is no room for them under a righteous peace that will be brought with the Coming Kingdom. The Lord of hosts will do the casting out that brings such perfect peace not Tony Blair or the UN.
Ps 24:7-10
7Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Revisionism of History is not Truth
Hebrew U. prof quits Vatican Holocaust panel
By Haim Shapiro
JERUSALEM (November 2) - Hebrew University Prof. Robert Wistrich said yesterday he is resigning from the Catholic-Jewish commission appointed to study the role of the Vatican during the Holocaust.
Wistrich, who made the announcement at a session of the World Jewish Congress meeting in Jerusalem, said that as a result of the failure of the commission, Catholic-Jewish relations are at their lowest point since the formulation of Nostra Aetate, the 1965 Vatican document that expresses the church's new outlook toward Jews and Judaism.
He said his was a private decision, but a second Jewish scholar, Bernard Suchecky of the Free University of Brussels, is also resigning.
The two resignations make it unlikely the commission will be able to continue. Wistrich said he feels this was his only option in the face of continued Vatican refusal to open its archives to commission members. .....
Wistrich said he sent a long letter to Pope John Paul II in April, noting the contradiction between earlier papal statements and actions and the present atmosphere.
The answer, conveyed by the "mutual friend" who delivered the letter, was the pope is not going to get involved.
"I believe that if we were dealing with a figure like John Paul II in his heyday, we would perhaps never have come to this point," Wistrich said.
However, he said, the pope is one of the many figures within the Church who favors the beatification of Pius XII. Wistrich said he is neither a Pius XII backer, nor does he accept the apologetics of the Church.
He is, however, grateful because his membership on the commission had led him to read all the published material, which he described as "a damning indictment of insensitivity and moral failure, of indifference to the humiliations and suffering of the Jews under anti-Semitic laws and of a refusal to even consider any rupture with Nazi Germany."
He said the reasons given for this failure are inadequate in relation to the enormity of what was happening in Europe.
Wistrich also said in the way the Church presented material about the rescue of Jews, it blurred the fact that in well over 90 percent of the cases, the rescue work was on behalf of baptized Jews.
"The attempt to present Pius XII as a kind of hero of the resistance is a form of Catholic revisionism which I find has nothing to do with historical truth, but more to do with the internal political agenda of the Church," he said.
Secular history is often a rewrite of the truth for
political correctness. The Catholic Church has accepted this method for
religious correctness in how it wants Pope Pius XII remembered as an historical
figure. He is the Pope of the Holocaust. Catholic theology falsely usurps all
future blessings given in the Bible to the Jews, but conveniently lets stand as
literal all condemnation and curses given the Jews. Such untruthfulness needs
much revisionism of religious history to survive. Professor Wistrich was suppose
to be a figurehead only. Someone to be pampered and exalted by his
politically/religiously correct intellectual
peers. Instead, he stood up for truth. The Catholic Church will wait till things
cool down, and then just appoint another committee to write the Pius XII Roman
Catholic/Jewish history with more obliging figureheads.
The saddest part of all this is that many believe the Bible was written in like manner. A compellation of rewrites by religious bigots with an attitude. This is the biggest lie of all. God says He wrote the Bible in truth. He declares all men liars, condemned already to eternal damnation. The Bible is not religion! It is the word! It is the revelation that a savior was promised, and came to save sinners! The Bible is truth!
John 1:1-5
1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
KJV
John 1:14
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
KJV
John 3:14-18
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
KJV
Ps 138:2-6
2I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

The False Peace
HOW TO MAKE THE JEWISH PEOPLE FEEL 'AT HOME'
British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived in Israel on the eve of the 84th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, two weeks after endorsing from Downing Street a Palestinian state in the very land his country once designated as a home for the Jewish people.
Blair's fleeting stop perhaps served the positive purpose of postponing another outburst in Gaza, this time in protest of the 1917 landmark. Just as the PLO chieftains could not allow a public Palestinian expression of support for Osama bin Laden last month, PA police quickly snuffed out any potential stumbling block to Yasser Arafat's acceptance as partner in the coalition against terror. PA parliament speaker, Ahmed Qreia, however, did not hesitate to call on Blair to "correct the mistakes" made by the British in the Balfour Declaration.
At a relaxed press conference on Thursday with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Blair reiterated his support for the creation of a Palestinian state, saying the stability, security and future of the world depended on a resolution of the Middle East conflict. He said the other fixed "point of principles" is that Israel must be secure, and accepted by the world, including the Arab world. He said there would always be extremists who oppose Israel's existence, but that they should not be allowed to dictate the pace of events.
"The Palestinians should have a state side-by-side with Israel," he said. "Israel is not going to disappear and the Palestinians are not going to go away."
The Bible says the Palestinians will go away! The scriptures say "cast out the bondwoman and her son." Tony Blair represents the false peace the Bible says will be imposed on a secular Israel by the Gentile Nations. A false peace where Israel will lean on the Gentile staff of reeds for its security. It is then the sons of Ishmael will invade! It is then the Gentiles will stand back instead of taking action. It is then that the God of the Bible will cast out forever the sons of Ishmael. It is all recorded in Ezekiel 38-39!
The false peace with a Palestinian State in the midst of Israel seems close to reality? It makes sense only to the humanistic. It is something the Anti-Christ will find easy to exploit for his sinful purposes. It is a lie, and sin of the darkest hue! The clock for Israel stopped with the crucifixion. The Gentile Christian dispensation began. The clock will again begin to turn for Israel as a final prophetic week of seven years leads to the Second Coming of the resurrected Christ. Tony Blair is hard at work setting the world scene for these events to take place.
Dan 9:26-27
26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Bush to call for viable Palestinian state
By Roula Khalaf in Washington
Published: November 2 2001 20:44 | Last Updated: November 4 2001 01:32
The Bush administration is preparing to make a fresh policy statement on the Middle East - perhaps as early as next week - that is expected to underline US commitment to the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
Details of the US blueprint, which will build on President George W. Bush's backing of the concept of a Palestinian state, are still being debated within the administration. Both Arab states and Israel are trying hard to influence the outcome.

A Confusing Double Talk Peace?
(11:20) PA demands US retract 'intifada is terror' statement
The Palestinian Authority is demanding the US Administration retract statements made over the weekend saying the intifada is a form of terror.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs David Satterfield said on Friday that the Palestinian intifada had "become an ongoing process of calculated terror and escalation," and blasted the Palestinian leadership for failing to act against terrorists as promised.
PA officials were reportedly stunned by the US statement.
"While Mr. Blair injected his double standards policy to the Palestinians, in small doses, Mr. David Satterfield, the US Department of State Deputy for the Middle East affairs, injected it in big doses while declaring that the 'intifada' became an organized act of terror, on which Israel reacts in provocative ways," the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, said in an editorial.
The US added anti-Israeli terrorist groups Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to a presidential executive order that instructs foreign banks and financial institutions to freeze terrorists' accounts or face American sanctions.
Foxman rebukes US official for criticizing Israel
By Melissa Radler
NEW YORK (November 4) - In unusually harsh words directed at the US State Department's Middle East policy, Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham Foxman publicly lambasted Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs William Burns at an ADL national conference, saying that comments made by Burns on Thursday made him "queasy."
Foxman's criticism came just moments after Burns cast partial blame on Israel for the ongoing intifada. Burns was a guest speaker at the ADL's national commission meeting, entitled "Attack on America: Terrorism and Israel's Role."
While stating that the Palestinians "must live up to the agreements they made and they must be held to account when they do not," and calling attention to "disturbing patterns of bigotry and racism in much of the region's press," Burns also held Israel accountable for "stereotyping Palestinians over the past year, dehumanizationÉ through media, checkpoints, closures, and other actions that have no direct security justification."
He also criticized Israel's settlement activity, which he said "destroys Palestinian hope and trust, and drives more Palestinians into the hands of extremists."
Stating that the State Department's goal in the Middle East is "to lead Arabs and Israelis back from the brink," Burns said that its peace initiatives are backed by the "moderate majorities in the Middle East."
Israel and the sons of Ishmael have been "on the brink" for the last 4000 years. This latest peace initiative is an outside Gentile effort toward a humanistic false peace that will never work. The double approach to this false peace is reflective of the double talk of lies used to convince the gullible that these negotiators are going to succeed. The outside pressures of Clinton brought on the present "on the brink" situation. We can only wonder at where this latest outside pressure to a false peace will lead? There is only one peace the Bible talks about for Israel. It can only come with one King. He will rule from only one tabernacle in Israel, in Jerusalem, at the Temple Mount!
1 Kings 18:21
21And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
KJV
Ezek 37:21-38:1
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

(16:05) Two dead, 45 wounded in Jerusalem terrorist attack
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
A Palestinian terrorist fired at a No. 25 Egged bus near French Hill in northern Jerusalem a short while ago, killing two Israelis and wounding 45, one very seriously, five seriously, and the rest moderately to lightly.
The terrorist fired from the French Hill junction at the bus, according to eyewitnesses, The Jerusalem Post's Etgar Lefkovits reported.
A border policeman, a soldier, and a civilian shot and killed the terrorist, said Jerusalem police chief Cmdr. Mickey Levy.
He said the terrorist was 34 years old, a resident of Hebron, and belonged to Islamic Jihad. Police are investigating the origin of the M-16 automatic rifle the terrorist used, he added.
Remember all the gun control peaceniks? They are still there with their peace plan - just calm for the moment.

Murder Jewish School Children

ICEJ NEWS FLASH
GOD-FEARING CHILDREN TARGETED; TWO KILLED
Sixteen year-old Shoshana Ben-Yishai, of Beitar Ilit, and Menashe Regev, 14, of Ramot, were killed, and nearly 50 other Israelis injured Sunday afternoon, when a Palestinian terrorist opened fire on Bus No. 25 at Jerusalem's French Hill intersection.
Many of the passengers on the packed bus were returning home from religious high schools in Neve Ya'akov, when, just after 3.45, the gunman emptied a full M-16 magazine at his target, before being shot dead by a border policeman stationed at the bus stop over the road.
The swift action of border police prevented an even greater tragedy. A female officer said afterwards that she had not cared for her own life, but only wanted to end the terrorist's shooting spree.
Ben-Yishai also held US citizenship. Two of the wounded, one a 14-year-old girl who was shot in the head, remained in serious but stable condition, with 9 others still in hospital at press time. Many of those initially hospitalized were suffering from the shock of surviving the barrage of bullets.
"We were travelling on Bus No. 25 to Jerusalem. Suddenly they shot at us. We saw the terrorist shooting. He kept shooting. He didn't stop," one passenger on the bus told ISRAEL RADIO.
Jerusalem police chief Cmdr. Mickey Levy told reporters the gunman was a 24-year-old member of Islamic Jihad from Hebron. Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the attack.
Levy said the intersection, which has been a target of previous terror attacks because of its proximity to PA-ruled areas, is under 24-hour police surveillance.
He said some 180,000 Arab workers from outside Jerusalem enter the city every day, most of them via the northern rim. For this reason as many as 60 percent of Jerusalem police forces are situated in this area.
The target - Jewish school children. Why this target- all Jews are guilty of preventing Allah from being great (and us from prospering). Who picked this target - an entire culture built on hate.
Hate Jews say their religious leaders. Hate Jews say their school books. Hate Jews say their newspaper, radio, and television media. Hate Jews say their government leaders. Hate Jews say their neighbors. Hate the Jew for your family honor demands it say their parents. Hate the Jew, hate everything Jewish, hate all collaborating Jew lovers says the culture of Islamic Palestine. Murder school children on their way home because they are Jews learning about the Bible (that teaches both the good and bad of Jewish culture).
What is the response from the West? Give them a State of their own in the middle of Israel with Jerusalem as their capital? Throwing the poisonous asp in the baby crib is a stupid peace plan! Turn over all Western flight schools to the Taliban makes more sense as a peace plan.
The Palestinian peace plan (the Western world's peace plan) is the same as that of Haman of old. Kill all the Jews, and there will be peace! Kill all the Jewish children was King Herod's peace plan, and a Jewish King will never be able to take the Kingdom from us!
Est 3:13
13And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

Matt 2:16-18
16Then 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.
17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18In 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.

The Double Tongue Christian Peace Plan
SCHULLER FEATURES HYBELS, WILKINSON—The Robert H. Schuller Institute for Successful Church Leadership, set for Jan. 28-31, features the following speakers: Bill Hybels (who has given a forum to former Pres. Bill Clinton, and to a Muslim Imam), Bruce Wilkinson (of Prayer of Jabez fame), Leith Anderson (the new interim president of the NAE), Jack Hayford (charismatic), Lydia Waters (liberal United Methodist Church), and Ken Medema (popular with homosexuals). The above speakers, and others, are listed in a full-page ad in the 10/1 Chr. Today. Sixty pastors associated with the homosexual MCC attended Shuller's 2001 Institute.
MUSLIM DECLARES U.S. IS TERRORIST AT HYBELS' MEGACHURCH—Willow Creek Community Church Pastor Bill Hybels last month invited a local Muslim leader Fred Hammouda to talk about Islam to a total of 17,000 churchgoers. Hammouda was provided with this huge forum to spread lies about his false and dangerous religion. He blamed the U.S. for recent terrorism and professed hate for the U.S. and Israel. He said Muslims consider Jesus and other biblical figures Islamic prophets, though not as important as Mohammed. It surprised many in Hybel's audience that Muslims believe in Jesus [not the Bible Jesus]. The deception was evident from reactions such as, "I didn't know they believed in Jesus," and "we have much in common." Some walked out, however, when he said things like "The U.S. is responsible for terrorism." Bill Hybels was a "spiritual advisor," and gave a forum to, Bill Clinton, remember?
MacARTHUR SAYS GRAHAM HAS 'UNORTHODOX VIEWS'—In a Feb. 15 letter to a Grace Partner, John MacArthur takes issue (and rightly so) with some remarks Billy Graham made in an interview with Robert Schuller a few years ago when he said that those who may not even know the name of Jesus will be in heaven, etc. MacArthur commented that based on what he told Schuller, Graham's theology includes some unorthodox views. He added: "He claims that the Body of Christ encompasses non-believers and that God's mercy is wide enough to encompass people who don't follow Christ…. Obviously [his] comments to Schuller (and later to Larry King) have caused a great deal of confusion….Can Billy Graham…truly believe people can be saved without the gospel?…Billy Graham is the highest profile evangelist of our time, and when he makes statements about the gospel , people listen. And because he wields so much influence, when those statements are unclear, or contradictory, problems arise…." We have disagreed with certain of Dr. MacArthur's teachings in the past, but he is on target in taking Graham to task on this issue.

Why must God end the reign of the Christian Church? Why must a new dispensation be ushered in at the rapture? Why is God going to turn back to Israel (a new Israel with a new heart), and abandon Christianity?
Peace through compromise! Running up a tally at the cost of separation. Accepting apostasy for a false inoffensive peace that runs up the numbers! A purposeful effort to gather professing Christians rather then only possessing Christians because of the numbers and outward appearance of success.
When main stream Christian leaders embraced the phony signs and wonders of the Charismatic, is when the flood gates opened wide. Today - Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, and Paul Crouch are all reputable main stream Christian leaders because they can produce the numbers. Do not be deceived - they win souls to the Charismatic signs and wonders not the Christ of the Bible. The double tongue of being born again, but .... is why the Church must be removed! It is the leadership that the willingly ignorant follow which makes this generation the last generation of the Christian Church!

Environmental Terrorists Coming Next
(The children who watched Captain Planet are now at University)
November 6, 2001
BY PAUL PETERSON
FREE PRESS SPECIAL WRITERHOUGHTON -- Federal and state law enforcement officials remained on the Michigan Tech University campus late Monday after bombs found at two university buildings were disarmed. Radical environmentalists are considered possible suspects, a county official said.
The bombs, described by university spokesmen as the "real thing," were discovered early Monday morning by campus public safety officers at the U.J. Noblet Forestry Building and the U.S. Forest Service Engineering Laboratory.
A four-block area where the two buildings are located, including several homes, was evacuated. The public safety officers were on routine patrol when they discovered the devices at 3:35 a.m.
The FBI, federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and Michigan State Police had officers at the scene, on the southwest portion of the campus. The state police bomb squad disarmed the two devices around 1 p.m.; streets in the area were opened a half-hour later.
University spokesman Dean Woodbeck said the bombs were in 5-gallon containers.
A timer was not found in the devices, which consisted of an unknown liquid material.
But there were "power devices connected to them" that could have ignited the liquid, Woodbeck said.
"We're not sure what the liquid is; it has to be analyzed," he said.
The university had received e-mail threats from Earth Liberation Front in April around the date of Earth Day, Woodbeck said.
Who will highjack the next airliner? One of our own children? The radical environmentalists use cartoon programs, school books, and the public broadcasting network to promote their extremist environmental views aimed right at our children? They have purposely overblown to falsehood scientific reports that cause fear in the hearts of little children who they hope will grow up unto the next generation of environmental terrorists. They promote saving "mother earth" their way as a cause that is worthy of the ultimate sacrifice.
They easily put the gullible Hollywood elite in their pocket with all their false tales of doom. They also are willing to sacrifice children to accomplish their global political goals. They turned "mother earth" into a fanatical religion approaching what Arafat and bin Laden have done with Islamic followers.

PA leadership considering state declaration
By Lamia Lahoud
JERUSALEM (November 8) - The Palestinian leadership and PLO Executive Committee was meeting last night at Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah to discuss the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, Arafat advisor Bassam Abu Sharif told the Jerusalem Post.
The London based al-Hayat newspaper reported that Arafat is considering declaring a state within the 1967 borders at the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in New York this weekend and asking the international community to accept it.
Palestinian sources said the idea is to declare the state and ask the international community to back it and then engage in negotiations with Israel over the content of that state.
"The declaration of statehood is under very serious discussion," Abu Sharif said. "It is a reaction to the [Gaza-first] proposal by [Foreign Minister Shimon] Peres and [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon, which would consecrate the Israeli occupation."
Arafat is about to claim the Western "wailing" wall as his! The most holy site to Jews is about to be taken from them by a decree from Yasser Arafat. The "Wall" was an Arab garbage dump before 1967, and Jewish access was forbidden. His plan is that the world community (UN) will back this blatant move. I can only wonder how many gentile nations will back this new Palestinian State? I remember all the resistance to Israel's declaration of Statehood. I remember the immediate invasion by 7 Arab Armies bent on driving the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. I remember the world sitting back doing nothing.
The world must realize this is not just any place. This is the Holy Land. This is the Promised Land. This is the God of the Bible (the God of providence) that the world would dictate terms. It is the God of the Bible whom is being stirred into action. The LORD of hosts mighty in battle is His name!
Zech 10:3-6
3Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
5And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
KJV
Ps 24:7-10
7Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Israeli Ministers told to leave homes in Nationwide Terror Alert
Special to World Tribune.com
MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE
Friday, November 9, 2001
TEL AVIV — Israel is on full alert for Palestinian attacks throughout the country.
Israeli officials said Palestinian insurgents are believed to have infiltrated from the West Bank and Gaza Strip and planning attacks in civilian centers in Israel. They said four Palestinian insurgents crossed from Gaza into southern Israel, transported by an Israeli driver, who received nearly $500 for the job.
In what officials termed an unprecedented move, two Israeli ministers and their families who live near the West Bank have been urged to leave their home in fear of Palestinian assassination. Last month, former Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi was killed by Palestinian gunmen and officials said the Palestinian Authority and its allies have targeted other Israeli leaders for assassination.
Palestinian insurgents are also reported to have left the West Bank cities of Jenin and Kalkilya for Israel. Officials said police had set up roadblocks throughout the country to search for Palestinian suicide bombers. The attackers were said to have brought with them explosives and detonators.
Here is the response to the Israeli pull out from supposed occupied territories. The hate continues unabated. Who could imagine a Palestinian State would do anything to change the blood thirst for killing the Jews of Israel? The solution is not some phony peace plan that is broken before it is even implemented. The solution will only come when God forces His will on everyone. The solution is Christ, but all concerned refuse. Hearts must be changed, or God is given no alternative but judgment.
The Bible says the hearts of the Jews will change! God has said He has chosen the Jews for future glory! Soon, God will manifest His physical Glory again on planet earth. It will be in the same land, in the same place where He manifested His Glory before. It will be Israel! It will be Jerusalem! It will be the Temple Mount!
A detestable Islamic Palestinian State is not part of God's final plan for peace in the Middle East!
Ezek 11:17-21
17Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19And 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:
20That 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.
21But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

SWISS TO CONVENE GENEVA SIGNERS TO CONDEMN ISRAEL
ICEJ NEWS - 11/09/2001
HA’ARETZ - Switzerland has given in to international pressure led by Arab countries and is convening the signatories to the 4th Geneva Convention governing the behavior of an occupying power toward civilians in the territory, with a draft resolution already prepared criticizing Israel's conduct in the territories.Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel has argued that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to the territories.
The initiative to convene the conference, slated for December 5, first came up during the Netanyahu administration. It convened two years ago, but under U.S. pressure dispersed after 20 minutes.
As a result of the intifada and the violent conflict with the Palestinians, the initiative has come up again. Switzerland prepared a draft invitation in coordination with the European Union. The U.S. is considered opposed to the initiative and has said it will not attend. Despite many UN resolutions calling on Israel to abide by the convention as an occupying power, Israel rejects the claim that the convention applies to the West Bank and Gaza.
The draft resolution expresses concern about "the worsening humanitarian situation in the territories, including East Jerusalem," refers to illegal settlements, calls for an immediate end to "grave violations of the convention," like assassinations, torture, deportations and house demolitions, and calls on both sides to post international monitors in the territories. Since the resolution for monitors depends on both sides' agreement, Israel in effect has a veto.
Foreign Ministry Deputy Director General for International Organizations Mordechai Yedid has instructed Israel's foreign legations to lobby against the convention, as well as the draft resolution prepared by the Swiss. The Foreign Ministry's instructions say the conference is meant to place Israel in front of an "international tribunal," based on one-sided reports, and completely ignoring the responsibility of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat for the wave of continuing terror against Israel.
NORWAY’S EX-FM: MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT TO BLAME
ICEJ NEWS - 11/09/2001
Norway's ex-foreign minister and Mitchell committee official Thorbjoern Jagland has blamed international terror on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.He said that international terrorism has its roots in the Middle East conflict and Osama bin Laden is exploiting this issue to his own ends.
"The most important contribution to the fight against terrorism is to solve the conflict over an independent Palestinian state," Aftenposten, an Oslo-based daily, reported Jagland as saying.
Jagland made his statements in response to expressions of support for the US-led military efforts in Afghanistan made today by Norway's prime minister.
The world says it is the Jews who are to blame for world terrorism, and a Palestinian State is almost like the penalty that must be forced on them if they should not play by the rules? The reality of all this is to force Israel to play by humanistic rules of justice while "anything goes" is acceptable, understandable, justifiable for the poor Palestinians. September 11 should have impressed on all the foolishness of such thinking, but decisions by world leaders are not noted for wisdom. Assassinations, torture, deportations and house demolitions may well be the best way to deal with terrorists. The world wants Israel to play patty cake while the terrorists target Jewish babies, children, and women for death and mutilation. It is a stupid one sided plan for peace!
(12:45) Israeli woman killed in terrorist shooting attack
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
Palestinian terrorists shot and killed an Israeli women driving near the village of Yabad, south of Jenin, in northern Samaria, a short while ago.
She was shot in the back and lost control of the car, which flipped over.
Ps 10:4-12
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Some Interesting information by E-mail
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the Modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 A.D. lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees - In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab - Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with weapons.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
The gentile world hates the Jews because they were chosen by God. The religious world hates the Jews because all their attempts to usurp the future blessings promised the Jews are proving false. The Islamic world in particular hates the Jews because in these latter days God has given them back the Holy Land. It is no wonder that judgment is coming to this world because God is in the process of forcing a Jewish King on everyone. A Jewish Kingdom based on the fullness of Old Testament law found in the sacrificial blood of the Lord Jesus Christ will soon be the law of the entire planet. Submission or judgment will be the only choice when the King establishes His throne on the Temple Mount, at Jerusalem, in the land of Israel. This coming Kingdom will not be shared. It will be the LORD of hosts who will conquer all.
God promises the heart of the Jews will change. The God who can change the very nature of the beasts has the power! A new dispensation is coming when the world will look to the Jews as examples of Biblical righteousness. The hate against Jews will finally end. Peace will come upon the mountain of God.
Isaiah 11:1-10
11:1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
KJV
Isa 65:24-25
24And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Death is Never a Laughing Matter
|
Sunday November 11, 2001
The Observer They sat and laughed and talked long into the early hours, about religion and war and the meaning of life. But most of all, they talked about death. They talked about the death of 5,000 on 11 September, about the deaths of millions in wars to come and about the coming death of one man in particular. Osama bin Laden told his interlocutor, and thus the world, that he feels certain the Americans will kill him sooner or later and that he is 'ready to die'. |
What will bin Laden find when that sooner or later day occurs? There is no way to know how, or when bin Laden will die. The certainty is some day he will die! The Bible says the wages of sin is death! He seems to laugh at the thought of death in his puffed up ignorance, but he should hearken to another rich man who found death is nothing to laugh about.
Moses and the prophets were all Jewish, and had a singular vision of the coming Jewish Messiah/King. God declares even the greatest sign miracle has no effect on changing the heart of man. The Charismatics have it all wrong! There is only one Christ who can save from sin and hell! His sacrifice is the only acceptable atonement from judgment, and eternal condemnation. It will never be the miracle that changes the heart, but rather the why! It is because Christ loved the sinner so much that He was willing to take on Himself the judgment rightfully decreed against the sinner. It is to this Biblical Christ of love all must come! Even bin Laden can find forgiveness from this Christ if he will come? Even the apostate Christian engulfed in this generation of abomination can change course, and come to the real Christ of the Bible.
Luke 16:22-31
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
KJV
1 Peter 2:21-25
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Bush pledges Palestinian State after pressure from Saudis
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Tuesday, November 13, 2001
WASHINGTON — Saudi Arabia succeeded in pressuring President George Bush to reaffirm a U.S. pledge to help establish a Palestinian state.U.S. officials said Saudi anger at the Bush administration prompted the president to revise his original speech to the United National General Assembly and include Washington's support for a Palestinian state and a solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The original draft was to have dealt exclusively with the U.S.-led war against international terrorism.
What are the Saudis saying? Blame everything bad on the Jews!
RIYADH, Nov 4 (PNS): A Saudi newspaper charged Saturday that the Israeli secret service Mossad was behind the September 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington that killed thousands of people.
The mass-circulation Okaz said in an editorial that an attack on such a scale could not have been carried out with such accuracy and precision without the help of parties inside the United States or with strong links in Washington.
Hamas wins student elections at An-Najah University
By Lamia Lahoud
NABLUS (November 13) - Hamas won an overwhelming victory at Nablus's An-Najah University's student council elections yesterday, receiving 48 percent of the votes, while Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement won 28 percent. The rest of the votes were distributed among radical PLO groups, Islamic Jihad, and the People's Party.
In the last elections, Hamas won 42 percent, while Fatah received 36 percent.
Hamas celebrated its victory last night in the center of Nablus and vowed that its "military wing," Izzadin Kassam, would reward Hamas supporters for the victory by carrying out a major suicide attack against Israelis.
Here is the peace plan! This is the Palestinian State that the world would impose on Israel. This is the kind of State sponsored terrorism influencing young Islamic minds through education. Here is where the hate is exploded into action. Here is where Jews - baby Jews, children Jews, any Jews are targeted for maiming and death.
The bulldozer is an excellent answer! The professors should be reduced to toilet cleaners! Should Israel not take charge, this style of education will continue. Such institutions of learning should not be permitted to exist by worldwide decree, but that will never happen under the humanistic justice concepts of today. Freedom of religion has never been a Biblical concept, and especially freedom to teach and represent this kind of slimy filth. God's way to peace is opposite in direction to the world's way of peace in the Middle East (place of God's holy mountain).
Come, Lord Jesus!
Isa 9:6-7
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

(15:30) US nixes Israel's 'violence-free week' demand
By Karin Laub, The Associated Press
JERUSALEM - The United States no longer backs Israel's insistence on a violence-free week as a condition for eventually resuming Mideast peace talks, a leading Israeli peace campaigner and a Palestinian legislator said today, after separate talks with senior US State Department officials.
Israeli officials said they have not been told of a change in US position, but object to skipping the week of calm that was to pave the way for mutual gestures and a return to negotiations. Israel has said it would not negotiate under fire.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell is to deliver a major address on US policy in the Middle East next Monday at a Kentucky university. No immediate comment was available from Washington.
Cave of Patriarchs car bombing foiled
By Arieh O'Sullivan
JERUSALEM (November 14) - The General Security Service and the IDF foiled an attempt by three Tanzim terrorists to detonate a large car bomb next to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, and other attacks on Israelis. The attacks were in the "last stages of planning" by a Tanzim terrorist cell in the Hebron area captured recently by GSS agents and IDF forces.
Security officials said yesterday the group planned to disguise the car bomb as a vehicle belonging to the Temporary International Presence in Hebron, the observer force that has operated in the Judean city since 1994. The cell members had already forged fake stickers and license plates similar to those belonging to TIPH vehicles, the security officials said.
The terrorists also told their interrogators that they had undergone weapons training and had planned a series of attacks against Jewish targets in Hebron, Kiryat Arba, Tekoa, Ma'aleh Adumim, and the French Hill neighborhood and Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
The members also acted to locate and recruit suicide bombers to carry out some of the attacks, security officials said. They underwent weapons and demolitions training and had scouted out their prospected targets.
The Palestinian Arabs can't provide even one week of peace! Yet, the peace plan of the secular gentiles and even some Jews goes on as if this should be no problem? The US bombs with daisy cutters the Taliban for just supporting the single terrorist attack on America, but Israel is chastised for demanding only one week free of terrorist attacks. It makes no sense!
Arabs call Abraham their father. It is at Father Abraham's tomb that the latest terrorist attack plan to kill Jews was thwarted. It was Father Abraham that took in the Egyptian Hagar to be part of his family. The events leading to the birth of Ishmael (the Arab branch) are a sad indictment on the sinfulness of all mankind. It is proof that even the best of mankind is in need of a Savior. The character God loved in Father Abraham is evidenced in his willingness to include all, no matter the circumstances of their birth, into the same covenant relationship he had with the God of the Bible. His heart never intended God's blessings be exclusively inclusive. He was desirous to share with all the good news promised him and his seed! The first circumcision included well over 300 (number who went with Abraham to free Lot) non-Jews (his household - all part of his family) including Ishmael. Abraham was the single natural Jew. Isaac (the first of the natural seed) was not to be born for another year.
Ishmael and his mother were soon rejected and banned outside the family camp by Father Abraham. This great Patriarch with such willingness to include others found what was in the heart of these two would destroy the family.
The heart of the sons of Ishmael today seem to be of the same character as that of their father Ishmael. They mock the natural seed! Abraham's family is again in danger!
Gen 17:11-14
11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
KJV
Gen 17:23-25
23And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
24And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
KJV

9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

Read: Article on "Circumcision" by DDSrail
Circumcision is really a matter of the heart! The God who can see the heart agreed: "Cast out this bondwoman and her son." How sad the Christians of today have also embraced those whom God said should be "cast out." The abomination of main stream apostate Christianity is a direct result of those with uncircumcised hearts not being cast out for the sake of numbers! A false peace with them is no peace at all. Soon, the rapture will clean house, but it will be the circumcised of heart who will be cast out from among the apostates because of their disobedience!

Peres Plan like Blind leading the Blind

Things are happening fast again! Collapse of the Taliban means a speed up for pressure to force an unwanted secular (Peres type) peace plan on Israel. A master peace plan for the whole area is in the making. Soon, an Islamic peace force will be in operation in Afghanistan. The inclusion of Islamic Turkey (Togarmah of Ezekiel 38) is significant because it ties this NATO partner for the fist time with the Islamic Gog of the North. A blind peace plan is engulfing the entire area very quickly. It is a false peace that will lead to an Islamic invasion of Israel - the Last Jihad! I fully expect this peace plan will force Israel to lean on the UN to keep the peace much as Israel of old leaned on Egypt. It was a staff of reeds that collapsed when needed. The situation seems prime for the Anti-Christ to step in, and take control. This false peace plan based on humanistic wisdom is contrary to God's coming peace through the coming Kingdom of Christ. Israel will soon have a King who will bring peace based on the rod of righteousness - His righteousness! It will be a peace that will go beyond the Middle East, and include the whole earth after the false peace collapses.
I believe the Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 will throw a monkey wrench into this false peace. I believe they will call for the building of Ezekiel's Temple that may well be the catalyst for the Islamic invasion. After this Last Jihad (the end of Islam) takes place, Israel will be free to build the Third Temple, and return to the Biblical Judaism of the Old Testament. A Temple with blood sacrifice will again be honorably presented to this world of sin and phony religions. Calvary will take on a new meaning as the Old Testament law comes to it's fullness in that presentation of the sacrificial blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world!
Read: Mishpat, - This Place, - The Second Woe, - The Last Jihad, - The Gentile Stranger in a Jewish Dispensation - The End of the Church Age. You will find them Biblical, and eye opening.
Lev 1:3-5
3If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
4And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

15And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
KJV

7And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Offering forgiveness in the midst of having been offended, and filled with wrath is an admirable trait. The strength of America was it's willingness to forgive after World War II. That same strength, I believe, will manifest itself toward Afghanistan after the Taliban fall. The sad part of willingness to forgive is when that forgiveness is rejected. Hezbollah is filled with pride. Their god, their cause, their culture, is all tied together with intent to destroy Israel, and everything associated with Judaism. Their hate has ruled resulting in destruction and heartache to the most powerful nation in the history of mankind. America demands justice. The wrath of America is now systematically destroying the terrorist leadership in Afghanistan. The handwriting is on the wall for Hezbollah! It is their pride that will be their death. It will be their rejection of forgiveness that will bring their final end!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mohammed Atef, one of the top leaders of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, has apparently been killed in a U.S. air strike in Afghanistan, a U.S. official said on Friday.
"We believe that it is true that he was killed in the U.S. bombing around Kabul," said the official, who asked not to be identified.
God is far more powerful then any great nation which He said are nothing more then dust in comparison. Man in his pride has offended the holy God of the Bible by defying Him through sin and rejection. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." God has said in the Bible that He has only one plan for forgiveness. That plan is the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ as a substitute for sin. The Third Jewish Temple will again present blood sacrifice to this world of sin and pride. The offer of forgiveness through the blood of Christ will find it's fullness of presentation to the world through this coming Temple.
The sad part of all this is that pride can cause the individual to reject the forgiveness that God offers through the blood of Christ. The offer is free (by grace), but this also means the greatest offence anyone can make against God is to reject His offer of forgiveness. The result of rejecting Christ is to abide under the wrath of God forever.
There is only one Temple, There is only one coming King. There is only one acceptable sacrifice for sin. There is only one way to be forgiven.
Jer 10:10
10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
KJV
John 3:36
36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
KJV
Rom 5:9
9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
KJV
Matt 11:28-30
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
KJV
John 14:6
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
KJV
Num 15:25-28
25And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
28And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
KJV
The blood of Christ will remain the only answer to sin in the next Temple! Even sin of ignorance, has only one solution. It is found in the forgiving power in the blood of Christ. God provides no other solution!

| UN troops pull out of Lebanon as tensions mount near Israel border |
Special to World Tribune.com
MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE
Friday, November 16, 2001
NICOSIA — The United Nations is sharply reducing its peacekeeping force in Lebanon amid increasing tension in the south.
So far, Finland, Ireland, Nepal and Sweden have pulled their troops out of southern Lebanon. On Tuesday, the last members of the 650-member Irish contingent left Lebanon.
Lebanon has appeared jittery over the UN withdrawal. Beirut has urged the world body to maintain its peacekeeping and demining operations in southern Lebanon.
Over the last few weeks, southern Lebanon has been gripped by rising tension involving both Palestinian insurgents as well as Syrian laborers. The focus of Palestinian tension is the Ein Hilwe refugee camp outside of Sidon.
A Lebanese military statement issued on Wednesday said army positions around Ein Hilwe have been repeatedly attacked. Hours earlier, attackers hurled grenades and opened with automatic gunfire toward an army post. No injuries were reported.
Ireland has participated in UN peacekeeping troops since 1978. The Irish contingent also closed their headquarters in Tibnin.
Diplomatic sources said the UN plans to reduce its presence in Lebanon to 3,500 soldiers by January. Earlier this year, the UN deployed an expanded force of about 8,000 soldiers.
