ISRAEL TURNS SIGHTS ON SYRIA

Israel turned its sights on Syria in response to Tuesday’s bus bombing in the Negev town of Be'er Sheva, handing the Americans “concrete evidence” that the regime of President Bashar Assad in Damascus directly supported the twin suicide attacks that left 16 Israelis dead and nearly 100 injured.

"Syria is involved in terror all the time. Syria is responsible for acts of terrorism and granting patronage for terror, and therefore we view it as responsible the moment that those organizations receive direct orders from their headquarters in Damascus,” Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told Israel Radio Thursday, just a day after the US and France tabled a motion at the United Nations Security Council calling for Syria to end its 30-year occupation of Lebanon.

Deputy Defense Minister Ze'ev Boim said Israel should consider military action against terrorist targets within Syria, Ha’aretz reported. "There is no immunity, and if there is a need, we will act," Boim warned.

Less than a year ago, the Israel Air Force attacked an abandoned Islamic Jihad training base near to the Syrian capital in response to a deadly bombing at a popular Maxim seaside restaurant in Haifa, which left 21 people dead. Israel said that the air raid, in which one security guard was injured, was a clear message to Syria to stop sponsoring Palestinian terror. It was the deepest strike into Syrian territory since the 1973 war.

According to Israeli sources Moussa Abu Marzook, a senior Damascus-based Hamas official who is wanted by the US, was the man behind the bombings. News reports have also linked Hamas ‘political’ leader Khaled Mashal, who is also based in the Syrian capital. The Syrian government, however, has defended shielding the Damascus Hamas bureau as a “press office.”

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Wednesday that "a large portion of the terrorism in the territories" comes from Hamas headquarters in Damascus and Hizb’Allah in Lebanon. You cannot separate what happened in Be'er Sheva from what is going on in Lebanon."

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan Thursday cautioned Israel that the militant Islamic organization "will not sit idly by" if Israeli forces attempt to assassinate its leaders abroad. Hamas has said in the past that it would view such an attack as a "green light" to attack Jewish targets overseas.

 

US, FRANCE TELL SYRIA TO GET OUT OF LEBANON

The US and France introduced a United Nations Security Council resolution Wednesday demanding that 20,000 Syrian troops "withdraw without delay" from Lebanon and that Syria stop meddling in the country's November elections, The Washington Post reports. The resolution also calls on Lebanon to disband and disarm all militias, including Hizb’Allah. US Ambassador to the UN John Danforth told the council that he will press for a vote on the resolution Thursday.

Russia: Al-Qaida involved in school attack; at least 340 dead

By News Agencies and Haaretz Service

BESLAN, Russia - Russian President Vladimir Putin called Saturday for a new approach to law enforcement in the wake of the school hostage crisis that killed more than 340 people, and pledged the reform would be in accordance with the nation's constitution.

Putin said international terrorists had declared "a full-scale war" against Russia, and that due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the nation was weakened and unable to respond as effectively as it must.

The Russian premier flew to Beslan before dawn on Saturday, as smoke was still rising from the shattered school. Russian authorities, who have tried to prove that the battle with Chechnya is part of the international war on terror, have accused Al-Qaida of involvement in the Beslan attack, Army Radio reported.

"In general, we need to admit that we did not show an understanding of the complexities and dangers of the processes occurring in our own country and in the world," he said in a grim televised address to the nation.

"In any case, we couldn't adequately react ... We showed weakness, and weak people are beaten."

He noted in particular that Russia's borders had become porous and "unprotected from either West or East," and that corruption had pervaded the law enforcement agencies.

Putin called for mobilizing the nation before what he called the "common danger" of terrorism. He said measures would be taken to strengthen Russia's territorial integrity, create a more effective crisis management system, and overhaul the law enforcement organs.

In a visit at dead of night to the hospital in the town of Beslan, the scene of the drama not far from Chechnya, Putin warned separatist sympathizers they would be viewed as "accomplices of terrorism".

The death toll after Friday's bloody climax to the two-day siege included 155 school children, many of them held inside a gym by their captors, and confirmed the episode as the grimmest hostage-taking of modern times.

Officials confirmed for the first time media reports that the separatists had taken more than 1,000 people hostage when they stormed into the school on Wednesday.

A total of 26 militants, 10 of them Arabs according to Russian officials, had staged the hostage seizure, said Deputy Prosecutor-General Sergei Fridinsky. All had been killed.

"As a result of the terrorist acts, 322 people were killed, 155 of whom were children I think the death toll will rise, but probably not very much," Fridinsky said.

Putin said he had ordered Beslan and the surrounding region of North Ossetia to be sealed off in follow-up operations by security forces.

"One of the tasks pursued by the terrorists was to stoke ethnic hatred, to blow up the whole of our North Caucasus," he told security officials. ...

 

Barbarian has taken on new vistas of comprehension now that this generation of Islam has put it into practice. Oh, those little innocent children! I cringe at what these barbarians will do to the Jewish children of Israel when they are able. They are coming! Their barbarianism will drive them to do their worst to those they hate the most. Invasion Israel is on their compass. It will be soon!

The countdown to the coming Islamic Invasion of Israel is now in the final stage. The Northern Islamic Russian Prince is breaking free from the King of the North. The Last Jihad 3-peonged invasion of Ezekiel 38 & 39 seems to be the event that begins the Great Tribulation. This chief prince of the Gog is destroyed on the mountains and in the fields of the Land of Israel according to Ezekiel 39. This judgment act of God will end Islamic influence forever over the Holy Land, and open the door to the building of the Last Jewish Temple. The antichrist will be prone to a peace treaty with Israel after such a demonstration of God's power rather then mounting an invasion of his own. He breaks that treaty in a short 3-1/2 years. That will be long enough for the Two Witnesses and the 144,000 Jews to build the Temple with established kosher worship taking place. At the midpoint of the Great Tribulation the antichrist sits on the throne in the Last Jewish Temple that will have been built for the coming Messiah. Russia itself has a strong destructive roll to play during the final days of the Great Tribulation. This King of the North rebels against the powerful antichrist who will be King of the Western world controlling the economy of the entire world. The great Russian Bear swoops down into the Holy Land as described in both Daniel and Zechariah. The King of the South pushes first, but the Russians pass right on through the Holy Land conquering all that the King of the South possesses. This causes the antichrist to retreat from the Holy Land. It allows the spiritual Jews who built the Temple, and then had to flee into the wilderness because of the antichrist to return. They cleanse the Temple in preparation for the return of Christ. They manage to hold off the Russian invaders from the Temple Mount on that last day even though half the city is being ravaged by the Russians.

The Russian Bear will be merciless in the treatment of the Jews who survived the torturous rule of the antichrist over the last 3-1/2 years of the Great Tribulation. A final revival among the Jews takes place during those last perilous days. Many Jews join their brothers who are preparing the Temple for the return of the LORD Jesus Christ. The battle of Armageddon will be fully staged in the valley of Megiddo. The King of the East will have crossed the dried up Euphrates River crossing the lands formerly occupied by the Islamic, Arab, Iranian, Persians. The city of Babylon (capital of Iraq) will have fallen in one single day. The King of the East will have his billion plus man army deployed, and ready to attack. The Russian Bear will turn from Jerusalem to engage this new danger. The antichrist will stand with what power is left in the Western world after 7 years of tribulation. It is then that the LORD Jesus Christ returns to the Mount of Olives. The faithful Jews flee into the Valley of the Mountains formed when His feet touch the Mount of Olives. Judgment comes to planet earth! Christ fights the nations gathered for Armageddon, and they are utterly destroyed! The LORD Jesus Christ then goes to the Temple, sits on the throne, and becomes King over all the earth!

The Great Tribulation starts with the utter destruction judgment on Islam, but it ends with the utter destruction of the gentile nations as a judgment over the entire planet. The only issue is total submission to the LORD Jesus Christ as King of the Jews. All who reject Christ are terminated! The gift of life is taken away, and replaced with eternal condemnation. Friend, do not think lightly about being born again! Be certain you do not flock to the many false christs being presented today by the Apostate Christian Church. It is only the Jewish Christ/Messiah as presented in the Bible who can save. All other christs will lead to judgment!

Child Martyrom Returns to PA Television
19:45 Sep 05, '04 / 19 Elul 5764
 

An alarming television segment strongly promoting child “martyrdom” has returned to official Palestinian Authority TV.

The clip has been aired repeatedly in recent weeks after being taken off the air over a year ago following widespread outrage.

At a US Senate Hearing in October 2003, Director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) Itamar Marcus displayed extensive documentary evidence that the PA was indoctrinating children to aspire to heroic death as “Shahids” (martyrs for Allah).

Since then, many PA TV clips that encouraged children to seek martyrdom through involvement with terrorism were removed. The removal was ostensibly due to the inability of the PA representative at the Senate hearing to defend the practice, accompanied by extensive outrage from both the print and TV media.

One such clip, which presented a child's death in combat as "sweet," because it was Death for Allah (Shahada), was aired regularly up to the period of condemnations following the October, 2003 Senate hearings.

The clip was taken out of PA TV’s rotation and was not aired for almost a year. Suddenly, according to PMW, the clip is being broadcast again – at least three times in the last two weeks.

The segment, known as thee "Farewell Letter" clip, features an Arab child writing a farewell letter to his parents, glorifying his desire to die. The child then goes out to the combat zone, where he is shot and achieves his death wish. As he falls in death, the words of his letter are sung twice: "How sweet is Shahada (Death for Allah) when I embrace you, my land."

"The revival of this clip now may be an indication that the PA, after having its image blackened due to its involvement in suicide terror, wants to portray itself as the victim by having large numbers of dead and injured children to report to the press,” says Itamar Marcus.

The following is the text of the farewell letter sung during the segment:
"Do not be sad, my dear,
And do not cry over my parting,
My dear father,
For my country, Shahada [Death for Allah].
Do not be sad, my dear
And do not cry over my parting,
My dear father,
For my country, I will sacrifice myself!"
[Scenes of children joining violence against soldiers, the boy running with his friends, throwing stones ...]
The letter continues:
"With determination and desire
I long to approach...."
[The boy is shot in his chest and falls to the ground.]
The letter continues:
"How sweet is Shahada [death for Allah]
When I embrace you, my land!"
[Here the boy's mother is seen crying.]
The letter continues:
"My beloved, my mother, My most dear,
Be joyous over my blood and do not cry for me."

[Aired on PA TV Aug. 23, 26, 31, 2004, Translated by PMW]

“The message of this song to Palestinian children is clear,” says Marcus. “[It is that] it should be a child's wish and goal to die in confrontations with Israel, as this death is ‘sweet’.”

PMW’s web site features several other examples of PA TV’s indoctrination of children to pursue martyrdom through joining the terrorist assault on Israel.

Molech is the pagan god of child sacrifice. It was usually built of bronze. It was portrayed in a cross-legged sitting position with arms outstretched. A great fire was built in the pit formed by the crossed-legs. When the bronze arms glowed red the sacrifice was ready. It was usually the parents who cast their unwanted babies into the arms of Molech. It was taught this would bring prosperity to the family. It was the first form of abortion. It lightened the financial burden to barbarian pagan families in a socially acceptable way. It also was acceptable to sacrifice older children. Families under great duress were promised by the pagan priests that such devotion to Molech would being relief.

The sacrifice of children is barbarism at the worst. The world is still reeling from what the Islamic terrorists did in Russia to the children. Now, the Palestinian adults want to show they are even more barbaric in their willingness to sacrifice even their own children. We had thought the loping off of heads was barbarism at the worst, but these modern day conscienceless barbarians have showed the world there are depths of depravity not yet explored. The Palestinians have long sought to kill Jewish children. They know there is no greater hurt they can inflict on the Jews then by killing the children. They specifically target school busses. Their snipers even deliberately shot a baby in his stroller. The only reason why more Jewish children are not targets is because the Jews recognized the danger early, and took defensive measures. No longer do Jewish children share the playgrounds with the Palestinians. No longer are school busses without armor, or not escorted. Jewish security prevents the Palestinians from killing Jewish children so the Palestinians do second best by sacrificing their own. The intensity of their hate is the source of all this child sacrifice! They have turned themselves into animals! The mindless beast of the Jaws shark series has become reality in the Holy Land!

Child sacrifice is not new to the Holy Land. This filthy practice was condemned by the God of the Bible even before it could start. It was practiced by the pagan gentiles. God knew it would not be long before Jews would turn their backs on Him for the false promises of the barbarian gods. Moleck was among the worst. Not only were they who committed such abominations condemned, but even those who thought they would just stand on the sidelines saying and doing nothing.

Today, the Palestinians have condemned themselves in the Holy Land. They have not only condemned themselves, but have condemned all who would ignore what they have done to their children. This condemnation is ripe for any who would faint ignorance in their support of a Palestinian State as part of any peace plan for the Middle East. The practice of child sacrifice condemns all when the Holy Land is the place of such abomination. Jeremiah recorded the practice in his day. The Valley of Hinnom has long represented a picture of the depths of hell. The heathen, Islamic, Arab, Palestinians have brought hell back to the Holy Land in our generation. We must never be silent in the light of such a barbaric culture. Our Christian government should again demand the Palestinians stop these TV promotions for the practice of Molech worship by Islam in the Jewish Holy Land.

Jeremiah 32:35

35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech ; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has intensified its battle against Internet and mobile phone pornography by threatening distributors with life in prison, Xinhua news agency said.

"Depending on the seriousness of the cases, the sentences range from living under compulsory surveillance, detainment, taking into custody by the police, to various terms of imprisonment and life imprisonment," Xinhua said.

Beijing has stepped up its battle against smut in recent weeks, saying it is worried that the easy access to such material on the Internet and elsewhere will have a bad effect on youth and society.

Under the latest crackdown, which started in July, authorities have shut down hundreds of Web sites and arrested more than 300 people.

The new penalties were laid out on Sunday in guidelines issued by China's Supreme People's Court and the office of the country's top prosecutor, Xinhua said

A pornographic Web site that had been clicked on more than 250,000 times would be considered a "very severe" case that could warrant a life sentence for its producers, Xinhua said. It did not elaborate.

A china's communist rulers have gradually relaxed the puritanical rule they imposed when they swept to power in 1949, but sporadically try to crack down on the sex industry and are particularly nervous about pornography on the Internet

Do not let all this diplomatic prattle confuse what is happening. The Gaza retreat that is playing into the hands of the terrorists, and giving Arafat new life is very much a part of the Road Map. Ariel Sharon is withdrawing only because of the pressure from the Bush Administration. He must demonstrate some proof Israel really wants a Godless gentile peace. This Road Map like the withdrawal are still only words, but look what those words have produced on the reality level. The Hamas terrorists supported by Iran are now using the Gaza as a missile launching pad. The IDF has been forced to make raid after raid into the Gaza to control this new menace. The plan is to drive out the neighboring Jews from this first autonomic Islamic, Arab, Palestinian parcel of the Holy Land through indiscriminant rocket fire. Hamas knows it has a Ho-Chi -Min supply route through Islamic Egypt right into the Gaza. It will only be a matter of time before the Jews will have to retreat again from adjoining land providing new launching sites with each withdrawal.

The Road Map promises the terrorists a State of their own to launch all kinds of terror weapons against the Jews with no fear of reprisal raids that would cross territorial sovereignty boarders protected by international law.  Just these words about the Road Map have encouraged the Chechnyan terrorists who want an Islamic Federation North of the Caucasus to murder over 300 innocent civilians mostly children. It is only the words Road Map which have produced such horrors. We can't imagine what the actual implementation of these words will bring in new horrors all over the world.

Islam has raised a generation on hate. They have produced a generation of conscienceless animals. Islam is committed to force the Koran on the world with this generation. The Holy Land is the focus because it is the birthplace of the Bible. The overthrow of the Bible, and the Christian/Jewish God of the Bible is the declared war Islam has challenged their youth to accomplish. They are fully engaged. They are convinced they can replace the Bible with the Koran. Replace Jehovah with Allah. Replace the LORD Jesus Christ with Mohamed. And, just as the Sharon withdrawal has been turned into the Sharon retreat by Islam, so also will the gentile Road Map be turned into the retreat of the Bible believing world. The Mullahs will teach their youth that Allah is giving them the victory over the infidels against all odds, and the youth will believe it.

The only hope for this foolish world is that single hope that comes out of Zion! It is a hope limited to the next dispensation. The Bible beams with the knowledge of what is coming. "Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!" Only then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad! A foolish generation shall be brought to an end, and joy shall return to planet earth.

 

God gave Israel soviernty over the entire city of Jerusalem during the Six Day War of 1967. It has been 37 years now, and the politicians have refused to acknowledge what God has done! There is no difference between refusing to acknowledge the Bible, and refusing to acknowledge who is the sovereign over the entire city of Jerusalem. It is all rejection of the God of the Bible! The politicians of this generation have taken the greatest miracle blessing since the resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ, and turned it into a curse. This generation has as surly rejected Christ as the generation that put Him on the cross.

The God of the Bible has brought the Jews back to the Holy Land in this our generation. The Bible has long prophesied this would happen. It is all related to the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ. That former generation mocked the Savior by putting a sign above the cross saying "The King of the Jews!" This generation mocks Him by refusing to acknowledge reality. It mocks Him by refusing to acknowledge that dispensational change has come to the Holy Land. It mocks Him by proposing to give the worst culture of hate on the planet a State of their own in God's Holy Land. The mocking continues with the proposal to Give the Palestinians a large part of Jerusalem for their capital! That part would certainly include the Temple Mount!

Friends, God will not be mocked by this generation! The LORD Jesus Christ is not coming back to be put on the cross once again. He is coming back as the LORD of hosts! He is coming back as the LORD mighty in battle. He is coming back to judge this generation for the same transgressions of that generation that crucified Him. The crowd is going to be cast into the Lake of Fire for what they did to God's only begotten Son. The days of longsuffering are about to end. The wrath of the Lamb is about to be poured out on this generation because they thought to mock the God of the Bible by mocking Jerusalem at this most critical time in history. Jerusalem will soon be known as "The City of Righteousness" "The Faithful City" "Zion." It will happen after those of this generation who forsake the LORD are consumed.

Have you acknowledged that the LORD Jesus Christ is coming again? Is the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount precious to you? Are you excited that the King is coming to Jerusalem? I pray such is so with you. To all others there is a refuge, but only one. You must come to the Biblical Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin. To reject His offer of salvation, is to mock Him as those did while He was shedding His precious blood on Calvary. Such mockery this time will be answered catastrophically with the wrath of God.

First Wedding On Temple Mount
17:23 Sep 09, '04 / 23 Elul 5764

For possibly the first time in over 1,930 years, a Jewish wedding ceremony of sorts was held on the Temple Mo
