An alleged victim is called negligent

Term is ascribed to Law in lawyer's response to suit

By Walter V. Robinson, Globe Staff, 4/29/2002

n his first legal response to charges that the Rev. Paul R. Shanley began molesting a Newton boy when he was 6 years old, Cardinal Bernard F. Law has asserted that ''negligence'' by the boy and his parents contributed to the alleged abuse.

The cardinal's claim, filed in court by his attorneys, is boilerplate legal defense language. But a lawyer who is not involved in the case and has handled other cases involving allegations of clergy sex abuse said last night that the decision to use such a claim in so sensitive a case showed poor judgment.

Carmen Durso, a Boston lawyer who represents others who say they are victims of abuse, said he found no legal fault with the language. But for Law to make use of it, Durso said, ''is dumb beyond belief. It is a stupid argument to make when you know that Catholics are already angry at you.''

Added Durso: ''From the start, the archdiocese has been incredibly stupid in the way they have handled this crisis. And as hard as it was to do, they have managed to make things worse.''

Last night, the parents of the boy, who was allegedly abused by Shanley between 1983 and 1989, said they are furious.

''To say my son is legally responsible for his own abuse at the hands of this monster Shanley when my son was only 6 years old is horrific,'' Rodney Ford, the father of Gregory Ford, said in an interview. In the lawsuit, the Fords charge that Law was negligent in overseeing Shanley, who he knew, or should have known, was a danger to children.

 

 

It is not stupidity! These fellows would never rise to the positions they've achieved if they were stupid. Arrogant is the word that should be used. When a man believes he is a superman, and has power over sin, then arrogance can rise to levels where stupidity is dismissed as an irrelevant concept compared to the status of such impervious power. It is only when this kind of arrogance is operating that a six year old boy can be blamed for his own rape by a sexually perverted predator. The humbleness that Christ taught His followers is not present among these priests. It was not present among the Jim Bakkers, or the Jimmy Swagarts either. Arrogance is not limited to the Romans. Arrogant religious leaders have many things in common. The remorse of such individuals is only that they got caught, and only lip service is given for those whom they victimized. The only wrongs that they ever admit to are those wrongs which can be excused. It becomes boilerplate language that should not be accounted as a personal indictment?

These fellows are not new to Christianity or religion. It is this kind of leadership that the antichrist will find useful as he takes control of the West. The antichrist in the end  will turn on these false shepherds. He will not share his power with any. They will find themselves victims as they victimized others. Their arrogance on that day will be their downfall.

The Kingdom is not for this kind of religious righteousness. The Kingdom is for those who forsake such corrupted systems, and seek true righteousness that is only offered to the meek. All religions, as well as all governments, as well as all peoples will be required to come to Christ in humble repentance for their sin. The systems that produce the arrogance we see in the news today must all go. The Kingdom of heaven will never support such arrogance!

 

Rev 6:9-10
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM

Tuesday, April 30, 2002

 

JERUSALEM — Israel has relayed evidence to the European Union that its aid to the Palestinian Authority is being diverted to finance insurgency attacks.

Israeli officials said the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has sent captured PA documents on the Palestinian use of EU aid.

Over the last year, the EU has provided more than $70 million to the PA to pay salaries of members of the more than 100,000 Palestinian civil servants. The EU aid has earmarked for paying the salaries of Palestinian police officers, Middle East Newsline reported.

Israeli officials said the Sharon government sent a report to Brussels that details PA use of EU funding. The report asserts that the PA pays 20 percent less to its officers than reported to the EU. The difference is pocketed by the PA.

PA officers are said to earn between $250 and $500 a month, officials said. But their salaries are paid in Israeli currency and based on an exchange rate that amounts to 3.6 shekels to the dollar. The actual conversion rate is close to five shekels per dollar.

The result is that the PA earns $2.5 million a month from the EU aid, which it then uses to fund insurgents, the report said. Officials said a similar report was presented to the United States.

PA officials acknowledged the discrepancy in exchange rates but said the practice is used to maintain a cap on public sector salaries.

In an unrelated development, NATO has rejected the prospect of sending peacekeepers to separate Israeli and Palestinian forces in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corp., NATO secretary-general George Robertson said there was no point in sending a peacekeeping force without peace in the region. Robertson said NATO has not received a formal proposal to send a peacekeeping mission.

On Tuesday, Israel's Cabinet rejected a United Nations demand to accept an international contingent to investigate the Israeli military capture of the West Bank city of Jenin earlier this month. Israeli officials said UN secretary-general Kofi Annan failed to honor his pledge regarding the terms of reference of the investigation.

 

Annan tells Security Council he intends to disband Jenin team

By Shlomo Shamir, Ha'aretz Correspondent, Ha'aretz Service and agencies

Unable to win Israel's cooperation, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the Security Council on Wednesday he planned to disband a UN mission to look into what happened in an IDF assault on the Jenin refugee camp.

In a letter to the 15-member body, Annan said he intended to disband it on Thursday. The letter was delivered as the council began deliberations on the matter

 

 

Good for Israel! They have stood up against the world for their rights. Soon, a back to the Bible movement in Israel will generate even more defiance from the world. The declaration calling for the Third Jewish Temple, and the establishment of a Jewish Kingdom destined to rule the world will bring worldwide opposition. The present resistance to secular Israel is only a foretaste of what is coming. The world will chose the antichrist over the returning King of the Jews. Opposition will grow to new heights as the world will demand the freedom to sin without restraints. A single Jewish religion will be proclaimed as the only true, and acceptable religion of the God of the Bible to which all the world must submit. A puritanical Judaism based on Biblical righteousness will begin putting pressure on the world. The Kingdom will be offered to all who repent, but judgment to all who resist.

The United Nations and European Union will explode in defiance to such proclamations against freedom of religion. Hate is a mild word as to how the world will react to the Bible as represented by the Jews of this soon coming return. The world might be satisfied to isolate these hated religious fanatics, but they will not be restrained. They will have singleness of mind reminiscent of those old fundamental Puritans of yesteryear. Revivals will break out where the taverns will close not because there was a release of zealot hatchet Annie's, but rather because their patrons due to changed hearts will just stop coming. The world will hate these new converts to Biblical Judaism, and their lives will become as lambs to the slaughter as the world reacts. Apostate Christianity as it exists today will turn on these Bible converts declaring them blasphemers. Christianity will become most opposed to Biblical Judaism. The Christ of Christianity will be false throughout all the great tribulation. The Christ of the denominations, the Charismatics, and even the Baptists of all colors that go into the great tribulation will be as phony as he is today among all of these professing Christians. The truly saved will have been removed at the rapture leaving only the apostates as they appear today.

The hate and opposition of secular Israel is only a foretaste of how the world will react to the soon coming Biblical Judaism!

Ben-Eliezer: Renew peace talks now

Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said yesterday Israel and the Palestinian Authority need to renew peace negotiations as soon as PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is released from his Ramallah headquarters.
 

Bush sees Ramallah 'window of opportunity'
By JANINE ZACHARIA
WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush is deepening his personal engagement in Middle East diplomacy, in order to capitalize on what administration officials say is a "window of opportunity" created by resolution of the standoff in Ramallah.
 

Bush Spokesman Chides Arafat
 

By Barry Schweid
AP Diplomatic Writer
Thursday, May 2, 2002; 10:58 AM

WASHINGTON –– The White House chided Yasser Arafat Thursday for condemning Israel as "terrorists, Nazis and racists" and said it would be better for all sides to focus on peace issues.

The mild reprimand was delivered by spokesman Ari Fleischer in President Bush's behalf. Emerging from Israeli house arrest, and hearing of a skirmish at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Arafat angrily accused Israel of willfully damaging the shrine.

"The president thinks the important step for all... parties is for them to now ask themselves what can they do to bring peace to the region, not what can they do to speak ill of others," Fleischer said when a reporter asked about Arafat's salvo.

 

 

Arafat seems intent on shooting himself in the foot. The real test is whether the Palestinians are willing to shoot themselves along with him? All preliminary indications are that they will! The issue is not Arafat. The issue is increasingly pointing to the Palestinians themselves.

The world has decided it will have a secular peace in the Middle East. A peace that will be instituted even if its favorite son Yasser Arafat must go. I suspect the hate of the Palestinians against Israel will never change, and in the end zookeepers under the disguise of peacekeepers will patrol fenced in Palestinian enclaves. The homicidal bombers can't be released again for any kind of peace no matter how phony to work. I know I'm probably wrong, but its the way I feel. I just can't see a forced peace that has any other possibility? The Palestinians are not going to leave. Israel with all its power can't be forced to leave no matter what the world might want in its heart. Peaceful coexistence is out of the question. It can't be done with Arafat, and the world is about to learn it can't be done with the Palestinian people either. The hate is far too ingrained. The entire culture from parental influence, through schooling, into governmental controls, entering their very religious values, including the Arab media would all have to be changed, and even then a new generation would have to come along, This present generation  would have to go.

It happened for Israel in the past (40 years in the wilderness), but I doubt it can  happen for the Palestinians? The coming change in the hearts of some Jews is promised for this generation. A new Judah will emerge to influence Israel. Another Judah will have the Third Temple under its exclusive control. Conversion will be an act of God, but it is only promised to some Jews.  Secular Israel will continue to the very end of the great tribulation. Palestinian hatred for Israel will continue to the end also. Judah and Israel will only be united at the Second Coming of the Jewish Messiah (the Christ). The Palestinian future in Israel seems only to be containment and subjugation in my estimation. The future for the coming Jewish Kingdom will be forced subjugation of the whole world. Maybe it will start with the Palestinians?

 

Palestinians set fire to Church

In his first public address following his release from Ramallah, Arafat called IDF soldiers surrounding Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity "terrorists, Nazis, and racists." He was reacting to an incident that began when Arab gunmen who have been holding hostages there for four weeks ignited fires in three places inside the church complex last night. Some observers, such as former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, say that it was no coincidence that this occurred precisely at the moment the siege was lifted in Ramallah.

 

Hag 1:4-5
4Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

5Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

Temple Mount Struggle Continues

Yehuda Etzion, one of the long-time leaders of the campaign to allow Jewish worship on Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount, is under arrest until Sunday. Etzion, who has been tried and acquitted several times of charges relating to his attempts to pray at the site, was detained for not having shown up for his most recent trial against him on charges of this nature. He says that as long as the Moslem Waqf illegally locks the site to Jews, and as long as Waqf personnel are exempt from Israeli law, he too is not willing to be bound to regulations forbidding him from praying there. Etzion was arrested outside the Prime Minister's Office, where he has been holding a protest vigil on this matter for the past two months.

 

 

Yehuda Etzion is a real thorn in the side of secular Israel. I'm sure he is motivated by his own pride. What he has going for him is that he is right. The Jews, and not the Moslem Waqf should control the Temple Mount. Politically, this is not the time for such talk. Politically, the time will never be right for such talk. The time is coming when God will demand the Third Jewish Temple be built. The time is coming when God Himself will motivate a true prophet in the likes of another Haggai. The convicting phrase "consider your ways" will again cut to the heart of the Jews. The thorn in the side will become an irresistible mandate from the God of the Bible to build.

Secular Israel is in confusion. They know God has placed this generation of Jews back in the Holy Land. They know a miracle has happened centered around Jerusalem, but they remain blind to the big picture of what God's intent is about. The blindness will be lifted after the born again Christians are moved out of the way. Only then will the clear picture be revealed through the Bible to the next prophets who will follow Malachi  and John the Baptist. There must be a Third Jewish Temple for the rest of the Bible to take place. There must be a Temple for the antichrist to cause sacrifice to cease, and to sit on the throne usurping the coming Christ's position as King and God. The Bible says these prophets will be killed, but not until after their testimony has been finished.

The Kingdom is the big picture that the Jews are blind to right now. The Temple Mount and the Third Jewish Temple are critical to the coming Kingdom. The Waqf will go at God's timing. When it happens, the turmoil of the world will be enormous, but nothing will stop God from finishing what He wrote in the Bible.

Sharon to present Bush the ‘most serious’ peace plan yet
By HERB KEINON
 

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is to leave tomorrow night for a three-day visit to Washington, where he will present what he said is perhaps the “most serious” plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace yet proposed.

“I’ll be presenting a plan, a serious plan, maybe the most serious that has been presented by now, how to reach peace in the Middle East, how to reach peace between us and the Palestinians,” Sharon said in an interview with ABC’s Nightline TV program.

Although Sharon has not provided details of the plan, it is expected to center around the convening of an international conference, long-term interim agreements, and what he has referred to repeatedly in the past as “painful concessions.”

Sharon is also expected to detail for the US administration his plans to create a buffer zone along much of the West Bank. He acknowledged that the buffer zone – to include fences, ditches, and electronic surveillance devices – would be expensive, and he would seek financial help from the US to build it.

 

 

The only end to all this violence has to be peace. However, the kind of peace, and at what price should be asked? This is the most dangerous type of peace presently being proposed. It is a peace without God. A peace without changed hearts. A peace without victory. A peace like that which ended World War I, but only led to the even greater violence of World War II. In the end, Germany had to be crushed before the world could have peace. The combined total victory over Japan with unconditional surrender was the only peace that ever could have ended World War II. How many times must the lesson be taught that without God, and total victory there is no peace? The lesson of Iraq should drive home the point. War should always be the last resort, but once engaged it must be absolute victory, or the lessons of the past will come back to haunt us.

The Holy Land is the one place above all others on planet earth where God must be considered before the world community makes their own plans. Anything contrary to what God is doing is bound to fail! Today, God is preparing the way for the return of Jesus Christ, and His coming Jewish Kingdom. Nothing can stop God! The Arabs can't stop the God of the Bible. The antichrist when he comes won't stop God. All the nations of the world will also be no match when God declares they must bow to His only begotten Son, or be crushed!

This peace without victory filled with painful concessions is only destine to lead to an even greater conflict. God is not caught unprepared by the events soon to transpire as the result of another false secular peace in the Holy Land. Ezekiel 38 & 39 is His prepared response to the Islamic world  that would oppose a Jewish Kingdom. Armageddon is His prepared response to the world that will follow Islam shortly thereafter into total defeat as the King of kings sets up His Kingdom.

FATAH LEAFLETS ACCUSE RASHID, DAHLAN OF TREASON

Leading Palestinian Authority figures Muhammed Rashid and Muhammed Dahlan have been accused by Fatah militants of "collaboration" with Israel.

A Fatah leaflet distributed in Jenin this week accused Rashid - top economic advisor to PLO chief Yasser Arafat  and Dahlan  the senior PA security commander in Gaza  of conspiring with Israel to replace Arafat and cancel the UN fact-finding mission to Jenin. The Fatah leadership in Jenin called on Arafat to reign in his aides.

An earlier Fatah leaflet distributed in Ramallah on April 25 also warned the "collaborator" Rashid against "leading this corrupt gang that wants to sell our dreams cheaply. We will not let Rashid enjoy the money that he's stolen from our peoples' bank accounts." The leaflet demands that Arafat rein in Rashid "otherwise the people will come and get him."

Similar leaflets in the past preceded the assassination of Fatah figures accused of corrupt or betrayal of the Palestinian cause.
 

BARGHOUTI ADMITS TO PA INVOLVEMENT IN TERROR

Israeli security sources claim that detained Fatah Tanzim militia leader Marwan Barghouti has begun confessing to directing terrorist attacks against Israelis with the help of PLO chief Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority security services.

Israel's Shin Bet security agency has been interrogating Barghouti since he was captured in Ramallah some two weeks ago. He reportedly has started admitting to his key role in funding and overseeing Fatah terrorist activities and also implicated PLO chief Yasser Arafat in the transfer of funds to Fatah operatives, knowing the money would be used for terrorist activity.
 

Arafat won’t reform PA
Lamia Lahoud
Palestinian Authority Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Nabil Amr resigned over the weekend after PA Chairman Yasser Arafat rejected his demand for major changes in the cabinet and the Palestinian security apparatus.
 

Amr demanded that a new cabinet be appointed to manage civil affairs in the territories. “After Arafat turned down my proposal, I handed in my resignation and left the meeting at the Mukata in Ramallah,” Amr said.

“Everybody feels that an earthquake has taken place in Palestinian society. So the changes must be equal in size to what happened,” Amr told reporters in Ramallah, referring to the IDF military operation. “I say the change must come from within the Palestinian Authority,” he added.

 

 

These are momentous events taking place within the Palestinian Authority. I'm afraid these fellows who sowed the wind helping Arafat to nurture the present Palestinian culture are now about to reap the whirlwind. I only wonder how many sex kittens if any they will get in Paradise when their dead bodies turn up? This culture now sown into the very hearts of their children shows no mercy for even the slightest bit of compromise. There is no greater sin then to have any other attitude toward a Jew then to kill him or her. Collaboration with Israel carries the death penalty. No trial, no mercy, just summery execution, and then party time. There are no moderate Palestinians only dead ones.

It is hard to feel sorry for these poor fellows. The very people whom they victimized are now turning on them. Soon, Arafat will be just like Hitler. Convinced that the Palestinians were just not good enough for his visions of grandeur when he finds himself all alone, and the Palestinian people crushed. Everyone loses in the end when sin is allowed to reach the magnitudes that it has within Palestinian culture. This is not a good generation into which to be a Palestinian!

Visiting congressmen advise Israel to resist US administration pressure
By Arie O'sullivan
 

A visiting delegation of US congressmen believes that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon should rebuff attempts by the Bush administration for him to deal with Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.

“Yasser Arafat is a terrorist. He is a leader of the terrorists. As a matter of fact he is a motivator of terrorism,” said Jim Saxton (R-NJ). “If I were in [Sharon’s] position, I would find someone else to talk to.”

Another member of the bipartisan team, Joe Hoeffel (D-PA) said America needed to seek another leader of the Palestinian people.

Livnat Tell Saudis to Decide, Peace or War

(IsraelNN.com) Speaking in a Washington press conference, Minster of Education Limor Livnat stated Saudi Arabia must decide if it is for peace or war with Israel.

Livnat was referring to the report being delivered to US President George W. Bush by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, documenting Saudi Arabia paid families of suicide bombers for the sacrifice made by the terrorists against Israel. The documents were uncovered by soldiers during Operation Defensive Shield.

 

Sharon Pushing No-Arafat Line

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who arrived in Washington last night, will begin his meetings with a talk today with U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and an appearance at a gathering of the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby. Sharon will meet with President George Bush tomorrow, and will attempt to persuade him that Arafat has no place in the future of the Middle East. The Prime Minister seems to have an ally in National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice, who said yesterday that the "current direction of the Palestinians" under Arafat's leadership does not allow for the establishment of a Palestinian state. On the other hand, Secretary of State Colin Powell said last night that it is "clear to the Administration that something has to be done" with the settlements in Judea and Samaria, and that this matter will be raised with Prime Minister Sharon.

Education Minister Limor Livnat, who is accompanying Prime Minister Sharon in Washington, will present to her American hosts today an Israeli Intelligence report showing Saudi Arabian support for Hamas and other suicide terrorist elements. The report is based on documents found by Israeli forces during Operation Defensive Shield. Bush hosted Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in his Texas ranch two weeks ago, and it is widely assumed that the "peace plan" Bush will propose to Sharon is based on Saudi ideas.

A European Union spokesman said today that the EU is relating "with the utmost gravity" to Israeli accusations and documentation that Arafat used European donations for terrorist purposes.

 

 

Any peace plan based on a Palestinian State is absolutely wrong from a Biblical perspective. Attempting to appease the Palestinians for their releasing of those beastly animals who's vicious behavior they glorify is absolutely wrong from a moral perspective. We just as well glorify the homosexual pedophile priests of the Catholic Church as reward Palestinian culture as it presently exists. When a culture degrades to such animalistic behavior so thoroughly documented, it is not time to talk peace or peacekeepers, but rather time to talk about caging the wild animals and providing zookeepers!

The deceitfully subtle Saudis are the worst in my opinion.  I only envision what God has to say about the end of Babylon in Revelation as indicative of how true righteousness views their behavior. The Saudi sheiks also well documented for their personal immorality buy their way into respectability. They see themselves as the masters of manipulative bargaining. They use the poor only for their advantage. They pay the beastly animals to terrorize the Jews while they sit in the lap of luxury on their thrones of vanity. They keep themselves removed from the violence while they are truly the backer/motivators of the violence.  They hold up hands full of money to the gullible world, but God sees the blood of innocent Jews that covers them.

The coming Kingdom will set straight the corruption money has bought. Dispensational change  is what the Bible  says is in the news these days. It is starting with Israel!

How does the world react to God forcing His will on all governments, and all religions? What will be the eternal cry from those being tormented forever and ever?

"And men blasphemed God"

 

Mic 4:2
2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

ARAFAT DRAGS OUT TALKS ON BETHLEHEM STANDOFF

Reports of an imminent breakthrough in the standoff at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity on Monday were premature, as PLO chief Yasser Arafat withheld his approval of an agreement over how to deal with some 40 Palestinian gunmen holed up in the landmark Christian shrine. ...
 

Only a few blocks away from Manger Square, IDF soldiers on Saturday investigated an explosion in a house and discovered a bomb factory in an apartment used as a clinic. Among the finds were a bomb ready for use, components for making explosive devices and inflammatory documents.

On Sunday, the IDF withdrew two tanks from Manger Square, and a wanted Hamas gunman surrendered to soldiers after being holed up in the Church. Israeli forces also searched the home of one of the Palestinian negotiators, Salah Ta'amri, and found a stockpile of weapons, large amounts of ammunition, IDF uniforms and gas masks.

In related news, the Jerusalem Post on Sunday cited two unidentified Bethlehem clerics as saying fellow Christian clergy taking part in the behind-the-scenes negotiations have been involved in a cover-up of what is really happening inside the Church.

One claimed, "It is not true that all clergymen are staying in the church of their own free will and that everyone inside is getting along... the Christians... don't dare to speak up. They are cowards."

A second Bethlehem priest quoted by the Post said, "We [Christians] are a small minority with little rights left, so it's obvious you have to be cautious with what you say. But I would have preferred silence rather than saying that everything is okay. We are worse than cowards, we are lying."

Local Catholic clergy have been the strongest in defending the Palestinian gunmen, insisting they were "welcomed" into the Church and those churchmen who remain inside are there voluntarily based on a tradition not to abandon a holy site.

But several clerics and Palestinians youths who have managed to get out have said the gunmen have been threatening those inside at gunpoint and were vandalizing church property. CNN reported today that one Palestinian source confirmed extensive damage has been done to the interior of the historic church.

 

 

Know that these Christian clergy that welcome the terrorists are professing Christians, and not saved possessing Christians. They hate the Jews so much that they willingly excuse the destruction done to the Church by these Arabs as a reasonable response against the occupying Jews. Blame the Jews is all they care to know. It was these kinds of professing Christians who burned the Jews alive in their Synagogues during the crusades, and sided with the Nazis in more recent history. They are still around. Hangovers from a bygone era that still have power and influence within the Roman Catholic system. The Pope echoes their sentiments when he called, and encouraged them by phone just last week. Their false theology can't bare a literal Israel in control of the Holy Land. They have taught for generations that everywhere the Bible teaches future blessings for Israel that it really is saying those future blessings are for the Roman Catholic Church. It is plain and simple usurping of those clear teachings. It becomes very difficult to say God is going to bless Rome in the last days when the Bible says Israel, and a literal Israel is clearly gaining more and more control of the Holy Land. Rome has always thought it would control Jerusalem in the end when Christ returns. The Jews in control can only raise the anger of those who put their Catholicism before the Biblical Christ!

It should be no wonder that God is putting the birth place of His Only Begotten Son so prominently in the news today. The Church of Nativity has revealed the Palestinian culture for what it really is as a force of death and destruction. The Church of Nativity also reveals the truth of how great is the hatred of the Jews by many of the Roman Catholic clergy.

The issue is to whom will God focus His attention when the Kingdom is established? Will it be those who teach Covenant Theology like the Romans, and usurp all the future glory promised to Jerusalem and the Jews? Or, will it be literally the ones that the Bible says it will be? Today's news says the Jews are miraculously back after almost 2000 years. The same Jews who were told the Kingdom is at hand when Christ came the first time have returned for His second coming. Today's news seems to favor the Jews!

 

Dear Friend of Israel:

Yom Yerushalayim Sameach!
Happy Jerusalem Day!

Thirty-five years ago, a day after the Israel Independence Day parade in 1967, Egypt put itself on a war footing. Syria promised to support its ally. Egyptian forces then closed the Strait of Tiran, blocking the country's access to the Red Sea.

The country realized it was in a fight for its life. Hostile enemies on all of our borders were closing in. Leaders of Arab governments were calling for the state's destruction.

In a lightning-fast but brutal six days the Israeli Defense Forces swept out the invaders and expanded the country's boundaries. Central to the battles was the fight to reunify Jerusalem under Israeli and Jewish rule. The 19-year-old stake through the heart of the city that kept Jews from the Old City and the Western Wall was quickly torn down, and a joyous reunification occurred.

Jerusalem Day muted this year
By ETGAR LEFKOVITZ
 

After more than 18 months of violence, during which Jerusalem has served as the epicenter of Palestinian terror attacks, the city is just starting to recover and shake itself free from a wave of terror unprecedented since 1967. ...

Jerusalem suffers from more than just terror attacks and muted consumerism. Approximately 17,500 residents moved away last year, compared to 17,100 the previous year. The city's population is 660,000, 32% of whom are Arabs. ...

The number of residents who moved away last year was virtually unchanged compared to 2000, even though more people left the city than moved into it for the 14th consecutive year.

Israeli governments have long talked of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but have done everything to weaken it, Olmert charged in a recent interview with The Jerusalem Post. He cited incentives offered to young couples to settle in MaÕaleh Adumim or Modi'in, compared to those buying apartments in outlying Jerusalem neighborhoods like Pisgat Ze'ev or Neveh Ya'acov.

Instead of encouraging young people to stay in the city, the government, by offering them incentives to buy outside of the city, did everything to encourage them to leave, he said.

 

Isa 8:13-15
13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Deadly Blast in Israel, Diplomacy in D.C.

Suicide Bomber Strikes Near Tel Aviv as Sharon Met With Bush

May 7 — A suicide bomber struck a pool hall in Israel today, killing at least 16 people, at the same time that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met with President Bush in Washington.

Sharon, who was expected to stay and meet with other U.S. officials over the next several days, cut short his visit after word of the bombing. "Israel will not surrender to blackmail," Sharon told reporters before leaving Washington. "He who rises up to kill us, we will pre-empt it and kill him first."

The attack came in the town of Rishon Letzion, a suburb 10 miles south of Tel Aviv, when a person set off explosives filled with nails, police said. At least 60 people were injured and many teenagers are believed to be among the casualties.

The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility. A Hamas leader in Gaza told ABCNEWS the bombing was a message to Israelis that the Palestinian will to resist has not been broken.

The attack was the first suicide bombing in Israel in three weeks. It was the first since Israel began "Operation Defensive Shield" — a series of incursions into Palestinian territories designed to prevent terror attacks.

 

U.N. Assembly chastises Israel 74-4

UNITED NATIONS, May 7 (UPI) -- With 54 nations abstaining as a protest over what they called an imbalanced resolution, the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday condemned by 74-4 vote Israel's West Bank offensive.

The resolution also criticized Israel's failure to cooperate with Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Jenin refugee camp fact-finding team and calls for his own report on Jenin.

 

 

It will end when a new leadership faction in Israel separates itself from the world, and unto God. It will end when Jews begin returning to the God of the Bible. It will end when events described in Ezekiel 38 & 39 turn the eyes of the world from Islam, and onto the God of the Bible! It will end when a remnant out of Israel begins to build the Biblical Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. It will end when the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob establishes His Kingdom! The Bible says change will happen to these stiff-necked Jews through great tribulation, but it will happen! A new heart of humility, love, and compassion for a world lost in sin, and without the true God of the Bible. Yet, a new heart set like flint to accomplish God's future plan for this world through the coming Jewish Kingdom.

God has a plan that has nothing to do with freedom, democracy, or human rights. It has everything to do with His determined plan as revealed in the Bible backed by His irresistible power. Even Israel has no say in what God is doing with them in the Holy Land. It matters not that the nations of the world will resist to the death God's plan for the future of mankind. The final victory will be God's.

The coming Kingdom means judgment on sin. All who refuse the forgiveness offered by the Lord Jesus Christ will find the wrath of the lamb as their just punishment. Islamic, Jew, apostate Christian are all without rights! They are criminals condemned already! There is no greater sin then to walk away from the sacrificially shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. God has declared this human right will bring only eternal condemnation without reprieve.

Palestinian rights become meaningless when God works His plan in the Holy Land. Islamic rights become of no account. Religious rights of any color, or any rights whatsoever become nothing when God the creator demands His rights! Mercy to lost sinners is a wondrous thing, but mercy rejected is without excuse!

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done!"

Anti-Semitism on the rise in Muslim world, report finds
By MELISSA RADLER
 

NEW YORK – Anti-Semitism in newspapers and on TV in the Muslim world is increasing in content and virulence, according to a study released this week by the American Jewish Committee.

“Muslim Anti-Semitism: A Clear and Present Danger,” authored by Hebrew University professor Robert Wistrich, details the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel rhetoric that has seeped into the Arab and Muslim press and outlines the effect such institutionalized hatred could have on prospects for peace in the region.

With sections on conspiracy theories, Islamic fascism, anti-Semitic falsehoods, Holocaust denial, refusal to accept Israel’s existence, and the history of Muslim-Jewish relations, the study looks at the allegation that Jews use the blood of non-Jews to make Passover matza and Purim pastries; the widespread popularity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and the charge that the Israeli government and the Mossad were responsible for the September 11 attacks in the US.

The study, which includes a selection of cartoons from the Arab press that shows Prime Minister Ariel Sharon gleefully eating Palestinian children in the Palestinian Al-Quds daily, and an Israeli soldier presenting his mother with a bottle of Palestinian blood in the Jordanian paper Al-Dustour, also looks at Western media’s reluctance to report on Muslim anti-Semitism

 

MK Steinitz warns of possible regional war
DAN DIKER
Iraq and Iran may initiate a partial or full-scale war against Israel in the coming months to torpedo an anticipated US attack on Baghdad, according to MK Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Knesset subcommittee for defense planning and policy.
 

 

Thirty five years and waiting. That is how long Israel was given the opportunity to build the Third Jewish Temple  on the Temple Mount, but has procrastinated. Another five years, and an entire generation will have passed by this responsibility. There is only one purpose for which God has brought the Jews back to the Promised Land. That is to bring in the next Biblical dispensation of the Kingdom. The Jewish Temple has, and always will be center to any Jewish Kingdom. Nothing can happen until the next Temple is built. Everything happening in the Middle East that has put it in the headlines throughout the entire world is aimed at the next step Israel must take. The world knows it is coming! That is the declaration that they are going to build the Temple!

The world is ready to turn itself upside-down when the announcement comes. The Islamic world more then all others is sworn to stop Israel at all costs. According to Ezekiel 38 & 39 the cost will be the utter destruction of Islam on the mountains and fields in the land of Israel. Iran and Iraq are specifically mentioned by their historic title of Old Persia. They will be the great Eastern arm of a three pronged Islamic invasion of Israel. The concerns of a war possibly only months away has great Biblical implications. There can be no doubt the hatred of Islam against the Jew is monstrous.  The holocaust would be child's play were Islam ever to inflict its desires on Israel. It is the hate that God will judge, and on that basis destroy Islam forever. After Ezekiel 39 Islam will go the way of all the other great powers of the past that allowed hate to rule their cultures. The most recent example is the Third Reich Nazis under Hitler. History is about to be repeated once again. This time it will be Islam that will go to the dung heap!

It will not be long thereafter that the entire world will follow Islam to the same dung heap as it rejects the coming Jewish Kingdom of the returning Lord Jesus Christ! Jerusalem is where Christ ascended up to heaven, and Jerusalem is where the Bible says Christ will return!

It is 6:20 AM, and this has been going on all night! It is not planed or organized. The crowds of Jews just keep coming. They are responding to something from their hearts. It has to do with Yom Yerushalem (Jerusalem Day). These crowds are just unprecedented.  The hearts of Jews are responding to 35 years of neglect. The tribulations of the day has brought about this heart attitude. The Temple Mount is on the other side of the Wailing Wall. It now seems so possible that were a true prophet (or two) of God to come calling for the building of the Third Jewish Temple that this generation would be up to the task.

SADDAM MAY HAVE NUKE

Turkey's intelligence service believes the regime of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has successfully produced a nuclear device.

The assessment was reported this week by Geostrategy-Direct, which cited a Turkish military officer. The report adds that US intelligence officials say the new intelligence was obtained in early March and adds to a growing body of intelligence on Saddam's efforts to produce nuclear arms.

No details of the type of nuclear weapon were disclosed, but Iraq is believed to be developing a uranium-fueled nuclear device. A senior defense official said the threat from Saddam's chemical, biological and nuclear programs continues to grow, and the most worrying is his "energetic nuclear weapons program."

According to an Iraqi nuclear engineer who defected in 1996, Iraq switched from a plutonium-based nuclear arms program to one based on enriched uranium, which can produced from natural uranium mined in Iraq. Iraq has some 400 locations - many based in schools, mosques, hospitals and warehouses - where it producing nuclear weapons and related material, making
UN inspections in a search for those programs nearly impossible.

US Secretary of State Colin Powell said on May 5 that Saddam is "working feverishly" on nuclear weapons but had not made any recent breakthroughs in his weapons program.

Last week, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said progress had been made in resuming weapons inspection in Iraq. But Baghdad wants the inspections linked to an end to US efforts to topple Saddam and Allied patrols of "no-fly" zones.

 

 

Reports such as this are always questionable, but time often proves there is truth behind the scenes. All the recent activity by the Bush administration dealing with an invasion of Iraq causes me to think they know something that has not gone public yet? Should it be true that Saddam has the Islamic bomb, who would doubt he would long restrain from using it to mass murder Jews? The Middle East has now become as hot as what the world experienced when Hitler came on the scene. A crises is upon us of world wide scope. This time it is the Holy Land at the center. This time God will act by bringing in the next dispensation of the Kingdom.

The super weapons of the last war brought great fear upon the world accelerating the efforts to crush the nazis before they could be developed. Today, technology has caught up with the world. Now, the most insane of  despots sitting on a throne in the middle of the desert can bring the world to its knees. The control is gone. The technology has been released with the computer age. It is time for God to act, and act He will.

God is never taken by surprise as human history unfolds. Wise men see God in absolute control. The Bible reveals clearly what God is doing. The next Biblical event is a dispensational change. The Old Testament from Genesis 12 forward reveals how God controlled all things through His dealings with Israel. The pyramid building Egyptians thought they were in control. The Pagan Assyrians thought it was them. Then came the Babylonians, Persians, Medes, Greeks, and Romans. They are all gone now, but the Jew remains. Nothing caught God by surprise! The dispensation ended with the coming of Christ and the New Testament when God shifted His control of the world on behalf of the Christian Church.  God never abandoned the Jews as a people though they are blind today. Individual Jews were drawn to Christ, but blindness characterized this present dispensation for the Jew. It is all about to change again! It is going to change with the Second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming to a Jewish Kingdom that will control the world throughout the next dispensation from Jerusalem and the Temple Mount! He is coming at a time when the Bible says knowledge shall be increased! The age of technology has come; The computer age is here! The time of the end is upon us!

     Iran defends nukes

Iranian military forces recently moved additional air defense missiles to a key nuclear facility in what U.S. intelligence officials view as a sign Tehran is preparing for an attack.
     Several batteries of Iran's U.S.-made improved Hawk missiles, known as I-Hawks, were added to defenses ringing Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility and were photographed late last month by a U.S. spy satellite. Iran has about 150 I-Hawks.
     The Bushehr nuclear power plant is located 10 miles south of the city of Bushehr and has been under construction since the 1970s. Russia has been the main supplier of the equipment for the two reactors.
     CIA nonproliferation officials have told Congress that Iran is actively pursuing the acquisition of fissile material and the expertise and technology necessary to form the material into nuclear weapons. The weapons are based on both plutonium and highly enriched uranium nuclear arms, according to the agency.

Likud Expected To Nix PLO State

The Likud Central Committee will convene on Sunday in Tel Aviv, and polls show strong support for a resolution negating the establishment of any form of a Palestinian state. A decision of this nature will be a strong blow to Prime Minister Sharon, who has come out in favor several times of a restricted PA state. Sharon has hinted that the Likud decision would not greatly affect his policies. Minister Danny Naveh, however, speaking with Arutz-7 earlier this week, said that Sharon would have "trouble" ignoring such a decision.

 

 

The  world  has decided a Palestinian State in the middle of Israel is the only path to peace. The Bush administration has assumed a Palestinian State is a done deal. It seems Israel does not see things in the same way. The assumption was Israel would give the Palestinians Land, and a State for just a hand shake? Israel seems to understand the Palestinians are not to be trusted. Israel is not as foolish as the world thinks it should be. A popular song in Israel has Arafat singing "give me all your land, and I will shake your hand." Arafat is looking for fools to shake his hand while he gives nothing, but rhetoric in return. He has found many fools among the world leaders. Peace talk is cheap when the Palestinians are not living in your house.

I'm sure in time the world is going to realize Sharon is no fool. I think he knew all along the Likud would never agree to a Palestinian State. It was not out of hate, but wisdom that he played the game. He suggested such a State to appease the world much as Arafat does when he claims he is reigning in terror. All know Arafat's hate is far too great to do anything other then lie where Israel is concerned. It seems Sharon was wisely shaking hands with world leaders while knowing there would be no land for the Palestinians!

I don't know if world pressure will overpower Israeli resistance, but I do know a Palestinian State in the middle of Israel is wrong! It is wrong most importantly from a Biblical perspective. God has no intention of sharing His Kingdom with the heathen. They must go, or convert. There is no other plan. Biblical Judaism is all God will tolerate in the Holy Land when the Kingdom comes. All must submit to Christ the King including Sharon if he wants to stay.

 

Rev 22:18-19
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

BILL BRIGHT’S ‘BEYOND ALL LIMITS’ CONFERENCE, ‘GLOBAL PASTORS NETWORK’, ‘SYNERGISTIC CHURCH’—Dennis Costella has a good firsthand report of the Beyond All Limits pastor’s conference which convened in Orlando, Jan. 17-19 (Foundation). Campus Crusade’s Bill Bright had the vision for this. The purpose was twofold: first, to minister to the 5,000 pastors assembled at First Baptist Church and second, to launch a new Internet program for training pastors for the new millennium, the Global Pastors Network. The ambitious plan to network (join together in common fellowship, ministry and purpose) and instruct virtually every Christian worker in the world by way of the Internet and satellite technology in the decade ahead was impressive. The proposed global synergistic church model, an ecumenically-styled network of churches and ministries where doctrinal issues are set aside and all who say they love Jesus will join together to reach the world for Christ. Many messages were helpful and Biblically-based. Speakers included Drs. Falwell, Stowell, Smalley, Warren, Trask, and Merritt. Charismatics were well represented by Hayford, and PK’s Bill McCartney who stressed the need for no divisions to exist between all Christians. The above speakers and the following other ministries are part of 200 already committed to the GPN. Kay Arthur, Henry Blackaby, Bill Bright, Chuck Colson, Jim Cymbala, James Dobson, John Hagee, David Jeremiah, John Kilpatrick, Erwin Lutzer, Chuck Swindoll, and Bruce Wilkinson. A conference leader said: In the future, those [pastors] who are not networking will not be working. 

 

 

While God is preparing the Jews and Israel for the coming Kingdom, the apostate Christian Church is preparing also. The whole purpose for which God gave us the Bible is so that doctrine would be fixed. Once written it would stand forever as an unchangeable testimony of who God is, and what He expects from man. Doctrine separates by design. Any who would drift from absolute truth would be corrected once the Bible was examined. In order for the unity of "Beyond All Limits" to work, Bible doctrine must be abandoned. That is exactly what they boldly say: "doctrinal issues are set aside!" When they set aside the doctrine that separates, they abandon the Bible. There is no single verse, or group of verses that can be separated from the Bible (even  "for love of Jesus"). The value of the Bible as God gave it to mankind is in its totality. A Readers Digest version would mean God carelessly added useless information. I would accuse the above mentioned pastors as guilty of carelessness with the Bible before I would accuse God!

Christianity in the Great Tribulation will certainly be forced to dismantle the Bible. A complete Bible as we have today would rip apart the apostasy of that day. Liberals would be revealed as blasphemers when their views of Christ would be compared. Charismatics would be exposed as the liars they are when their phony signs and miracles would be placed alongside the Biblical ones.  The Evangelicals of today are intent on laying the foundation for the Great Whore of the Revelation. The hijacking of being born again would end today were doctrine allowed to separate out all that which has drifted from the truth.

The reason why the Jews are back in the Holy Land, and God is preparing for the coming Kingdom is because Christianity has failed. When there is no Bible; When there is no doctrine; Then there is no born again either. It all becomes vanity when men abandon the testimony of God! The love of Jesus will not be abandoned in the apostate Church of the Great Tribulation, but it will all be vanity!

 

Matt 7:20
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
KJV
 

 

Christianity is not the same anymore! Imagine Hudson Taylor, or George Muller amassing multi-million dollar personal fortunes, and setting up a forever family estate by selling parts of their Christian ministries? Picture David Livingstone frequenting the Casinos along the African coasts saying he is only interested in the gaming competition not the sinful part of the hobby? The Bible says you will know them by their fruits! The Charismatics have chosen their leaders by their fruits. Doctrine has been abandoned for numbers and success. We all remember the Bakkers and Swagards. The wise knew Robertson was of the same class just more subtle then the others.

 "I am sorry that my fondness for the performance of equine athletes has caused you an offense,"

 The apostasy of today will accept such an explanation with hardly a shudder. Most will probably not even understand what the hub-bub is all about? They would only wish they were as blessed with similar success. Robertson shrugs it off as just some jealous sticks in the mud who will bend to the pressure of his views over time. His success is the fruit that will cover whatever Bible doctrine says. Success covers over an air-conditioned dog house, or a half million dollar tongue in cheek hobby. Only the most open illicit sex seems to be out of bounds for today's Christianity!

The doctrine (really the abandonment of doctrine) of the Charismatics is what caused it to take the lead in the main stream of today's Christianity. It is the acceptability of this kind of Christianity that makes it the fastest growing part of the modern Christian Church. It is this style of Christianity that will be left behind when the doctrinally correct Biblical rapture occurs. All the success will have proven to be nothing more then vanity on that day, and the billions who support it will turn on the God of the Bible who will abandon them as they did Him! Actually, they never submitted to His righteousness in the first place! The Church of all those who taught, and believed that they must keep a salvation of vanity by their own works will find the hijacked born again philosophy of their profession valueless. Only true Biblical possessors of Christ will find their born again experience secured by Christ will gain eternal life!

The rapture is not for the apostate Church! It is why the Jews are back in the Holy Land. It is why dispensational change is imminent! The coming Kingdom will be based on Biblical righteousness as always taught in the Bible.

The vanity of success has little influence with God! The defiant heart will always lose in the end! The difference between true repentance, and being sorry you were exposed should be clear.

23The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

Netanyahu: I will defang PA state threat
By GIL HOFFMAN
Former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed confidence yesterday that he will succeed in convincing both the nation and the government not to permit the establishment of a Palestinian state.
 

The Future Political Direction of Secular Israel

In his lengthy address, Netanyahu warned that even after Arafat, a Palestinian state would threaten Israel, and suggested granting the Palestinians autonomy instead. "Self-rule, yes; Palestinian state, no," Netanyahu said. "The biggest mistake we can make is rewarding terror by giving it a state of its own."
 

Netanyahu called Sharon's effort to stop terror in Operation Defensive Shield "incomplete," and urged the thorough destruction of the Palestinian Authority's terror infrastructure, the building of a defensive barrier between Israel and the PA, and the exile of Arafat from the region.

In the wake of the Likud infighting, Labor party chairman and Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer hinted that last night's vote could be used as an excuse to leave the government. "If it becomes clear that from today the government is being [lead] according to the Likud central committee policy when we say yes to a Palestinian state, we will have to draw our own conclusions." Ben-Eliezer added that the Likud decision means that Palestinian violence will continue

However, fellow Laborite and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said that while the vote was "tragic for the state of Israel," it should not be taken too seriously. He said as long as the government is acting on behalf of achieving a two state solution, Labor will have a place in it.

Peres told Army Radio today, "I understand that this is a battle for power, but I am convinced that if Netanyahu is elected, he will be as he was before previous elections, he was in favor of Oslo and he shook Arafat's hand."

 

 

It may be the Godless politics of men, but God is always in control whether men acknowledge His presents or not.  I know the Land is God's, and not the politicians! God has stated clearly He will not share it with any other then His chosen people. A Palestinian State may be formed, but it will never last! Men always think they are masters of their own destiny, but in the end wise men see the hand of God controlling everything. Bible prophecy fulfilled is proof enough God is in control.

The next event in  Biblical prophecy is the rapture of the Church. It will include only possessors of Christ, and not the professors of vanity. Only those with a real born again experience will be taken up to heaven. All the hypocrites who through their own vanity professed they were Christians will be left behind. The vanity of the Roman Catholic who must have the magical powers of a corrupted priesthood, and the mystical powers entrusted to the mother of god will find the vanity of their faith worthless. The same holds true for all the Charismatics who follow Rome into the vanities of false mystical powers. The Liberal Church will be almost unscathed by the rapture. Even many of the Baptists who desired the worldly compromise of Evangelicalism that pushed Fundamentalism to the fringes of acceptability will find the vanity of a false faith was behind their motivations. I fully expect there will be a Southern Baptist Convention the year after the rapture. I expect the world will take little note of the rapture. It didn't take much note of Christ, and all the miracles He did when He came the first time. I doubt it will pay much attention when the next dispensational change takes place? What the world will note is what will be happening in Israel. It is there that God will focus His attention as He brings in the Kingdom age. It is there that I watch as God prepares the world to fit His prepared plan for the future glory of Israel. It is there that today's news can't ignore.

 

Ex 24:12
12And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Birthday of the Bible

 

Shavuot

The Day the Torah was given -- celebrating the monumental encounter between God and the Israelites at Mount Sinai, an event which changed mankind forever

Shavuot is the anniversary of the defining moment of Jewish history: the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai 3,000 years ago.

The Shavuot holiday begins Thursday evening, May 16, and continues until Saturday evening, May 18, 2002. (In Israel, ends Friday evening, May 17 .)

 

 

At sunset tonight the Jewish people begin celebrating Shavuot. Christians should take pause as this is also the celebration of the birthday of the Bible. Though the Bible covers all eternity, the first words to be officially written down as Biblical text occurred when God wrote the 10 Commandments on the tablets of stone. God, through divine revelation caused some 40 different authors to continue the work from Shavuot until the apostle John wrote the last words of the Revelation in 95 AD. All these words have been faithfully passed down from one generation to the next so that today we have a faithful testimony of who God is, and what He expects of His people.

This is also a special time for the Golden Calf web site because while Mosses was receiving the law up on Mount Sinai the children below made the golden calf. God's people are a sorry lot, and it is amazing that He loves us as He does. How thankful I am for the Bible that reveals absolute truth.

Today, the workers of silver and gold like Pat Robertson, and many. many others distort and cheapen by false claims to divine revelation the miracle of the Bible. The work below continues along with the divine testimony from above. According to the Bible we are almost at the end of this present dispensation of the Christian Church. A Great Apostate Church is already formed ready to go into condemnation when the rapture occurs. God is this very day preparing for the future glory of Israel, Jerusalem, and the Holy Temple Mount when the next dispensation of the Kingdom comes. How sad that most born again believers sleep while the world  remains ignorant of the miraculous Biblical events about to transpire!

My goal is to be a testimony to this generation through the Golden Calf. It is a small voice in a big world, but I intend to continue until the rapture.

 

1 Chron 28:6
6And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

Barak, Ramon, And Ben-Eliezer Outline Plans

New/old diplomatic initiatives were presented in the Labor Party Central Committee meeting today. Party Chairman Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Israel's Defense Minister, went the furthest, saying he would be willing to give up Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount - Judaism's holiest site. MK Chaim Ramon, who plans to run for the party leadership in the next election, appeared to differ with Ben-Eliezer in strategy, not substance, by saying that there is no point in offering plans at this point "when there is no one on the other side with whom to negotiate." However, Ramon said that we must unilaterally withdraw from Gaza immediately.

 

 

The coming election in Israel is heating up with political extremism. Ben-Elieser is willing to sell out the Temple Mount for a political peace that will never happen. The struggle for political control of the nation Israel has moved into the desperate category.  It seems this coming election will be all or nothing. On one hand there is Bebe ready to coral the Palestinian Arabs without Arafat, and on the other the great sell out for a hand shake. I really don't think it makes a difference which party wins. The Lord of Hosts will override the political system whenever He is ready. The Bible says a secular Israel will continue to the very end of the Great Tribulation. Many Jews (and some Gentile strangers) will come over to the restored Biblical Judaism led by the Two witnesses and 144,000 Jewish converts as the Great Tribulation proceeds, but secular Judaism will continue side by side as Judah and Israel existed after the reign of Solemn.

The Bible speaks to Antiochus Epiphanies (the king of the North) as an example of the coming antichrist. He led the Greek Seleucid empire of Syria over the Greek Southern Ptolemy empire of Egypt where there is a connection to Anthony and Cleopatra (last of the Ptolemies)  in the Biblical account of Daniel. The Jewish history book of the Maccabees relates how a secular Israel tried to compromise for peace with Antiochus. It didn't work!

Soon, another Jew (the idol shepherd) will lead secular Israel during the Great Tribulation into compromise with the real antichrist. It also will not work! Many secular Jews will be corrupted by flatteries as happens again and again.

Shavuot Tonight

Many thousands of people are expected to arrive tonight and tomorrow at the Western Wall for study and prayer for Shavuot, and hundreds of policemen will be deployed in the vicinity over the holiday. Many Jews stay up throughout the entire night, studying and praying in commemoration of the Jewish Nation's acceptance of the Torah at Mt. Sinai 3,314 years ago.

Arafat promises reforms
By LAMIA LAHOUD AND HERB KEINON
 

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat promised legislators in a speech to the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah Wednesday he will make sweeping changes in his government and hold new elections soon.

He repeated a call for a halt to attacks on civilians in Israel and, in a rare display of self-criticism, accepted blame for any mistakes made by the Palestinian leadership.

"Allow me to propose to you the speedy preparation of elections," he said in a 40-minute speech on Nakba (catastrophe) Day, when Palestinians mark the establishment of Israel in 1948 as their national catastrophe.

 

P.A. Arabs Have Not Given Up Terror

Israel's anti-terrorism efforts continue without a break. Two Islamic Jihad would-be suicide terrorists were stopped last night - one was killed - by IDF troops in northern Ramallah. The two had planned to carry out a double-attack in Jerusalem, and one of them led the Israelis to the spot in which he had hidden his explosives vest... The IDF ended its overnight mini-offensive in Talousa, near Shechem late this morning, after arresting 17 terrorist suspects. One of them was caught with a bomb in his hand... A member of PLO leader Yasser Arafat’s personal militia, Force 17, was killed last night in undercover army operations in Bitunia, near Ramallah. A second Force 17 terrorist was shot and arrested in the same incident...

 

 

The news media reports Arafat as if he is a changed man. The facts indicate it is still the same old Arafat. He gets away with his forked tongue diplomacy because the facts are left out of the reporting by most of the international press corps. A double portion for them is what God says -  all around!

 

Matt 16:2-4
2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

Harmless halo around the sun causes a buzz in South Florida
BY MARTIN MERZER
mmerzer@herald.com

A wide, shadowy halo materialized around the sun this afternoon, transforming many South Floridians into instant astronomers, arousing a flood of calls to weather forecasters and inspiring more than a few dark thoughts.

'One guy said, `It's Armageddon,' '' said Sydelle Engel, a customer at the Flashback Diner in Hallandale Beach, a place that suddenly emptied as word spread and people flocked outside. ``Another guy said, `Good, I don't have to pay my bills.''

Not such a good idea.

Forecasters said the phenomenon, which even they rushed out to view, was caused by an icy layer of clouds 30,000 feet above all those spectators.

''It really started going right after noon,'' said Rusty Pfost, the meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service's South Florida office. ``It is very impressive. It's just a gorgeous, gorgeous halo.''

Any halo around the sun often means rain is on the way, he said, and . . . it is.

Pfost said another batch of showers is expected to descend on South Florida by Sunday.

 

Another wicked and adulteress generation is here to usher in the Second Coming of Christ as did His First coming! A sleepy generation of the born again Church let "born again" get hijacked by the apostates. Every crooked huckster mostly among the Charismatics has found Television Evangelism, and "born again" as the greatest milk cow to have ever come down the path. Born again Christianity has been turned into nothing more then vanity by this flood of phony signs and miracles workers. They have taken a lesson from the apostate Roman Catholic Church with its supermen priesthood, its mystical holy shrines, its miracle working dead saints, and all the other unbiblical traditions that appeal to the gullible looking for the supernatural apart from the Bible. The Charismatics of today have taken all those lessons to new heights of shame. Vanity has hit new heights as most of these deceptive wolves in sheep's clothing really believe they have the power!

A generation of apostate Christianity is here right now unopposed by the Evangelicalism of today who's personal vanity exceeds that of even Yasser Arafat's visions of being the Islamic Messianic redeemer of Jerusalem. They really believe they have the power of the Holy Ghost at their command. Their vanity has no bounds as they replace simple faith in Christ with mystical manifestations of ecstatic utterances. They must have the magic of man that in no way is connected to Biblical supernaturalism. They seek signs and wonders to such excess that they become the willing victims of the huckster hijackers.

It is this generation that will willingly follow the false prophet of the antichrist into the logic of unity for all the world. They want in their manmade signs and wonders what the antichrist will be more then willing to feed them. They easily flow with Roman Catholic mysticism in new packaging, to Jim and Tammy, to Benny Hinn, to the latest TV actor/evangelist, and eventually to the antichrist himself.

There will be no sign for this wicked generation other then the simplicity of faith in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming again with His Jewish Kingdom of righteousness. It will mean eternal condemnation for this generation of apostates. They have accepted and promoted another gospel!

Al-Qaida linked to attack on Tunisian synagogue

Deputy Foreign Minister Michael Melchior yesterday confirmed reports that Osama bin-Laden's al-Qaida terror network was connected to an April 11 terrorist attack at a synagogue on the Tunisian island of Djerba that killed 19 people.

[Shimon Samuels] said the terrorist, a Tunisian identified as Nizar Naouar, who drove a truck laden with gas canisters into the synagogue, was connected to a group, ...

U.K. Paper Says It Has Bin Laden Video

LONDON- A British newspaper said Sunday it had obtained a previously unseen video of Osama bin Laden, in which the Saudi-born dissident says that any country siding with Israel is a target for Islamic terrorists.

The Sunday Times newspaper said that unidentified supporters of the al-Qaida leader claimed sections of the 40-minute video were filmed eight weeks ago.

The newspaper said, however, that the video did not provide enough clues for it to be dated. Britain's Ministry of Defense said it had not seen the film and so could not comment on its contents.

 

This is not a war on terrorism as promoted. The truth is this is, and always has been a war declared by Islam on Jews! There is nothing Islam hates more then Jews. They hate Christianity and America, but not with the intensity that they hate the Jew! The Jew is, and always had been the ultimate object of all Islamic terrorism.

Osama bin Laden knew his best weapon for terrorism was the first time off-guard airliner missile. He also knew Israeli security was too strong  for certain success, but it was almost a guarantee to work in the pre 9-11 USA. It is the hate for Jews that was always behind bin Laden and al-Qaida as recent revelations show. It is foolish to try to disassociate Israel from the "War on Terrorism." It is as foolish to not recognize all of Islam as being involved!

Islam takes pride in their double tongued  trading abilities of anything that can make a buck including human chattel (infamous Arab slave traders). That ability in making a good trade is now prominent in their public diplomatic statements. Their vanity in making the trade allows only for them to come out on top no matter what the object of discussion or trade might be. It is buyer beware in both trade items and diplomacy! Anyone who has shopped for souvenirs in the local market places of the Middle East know what I am talking about. However, there is a great difference between haggling over the price of an olive wood art object, and getting the upper hand with the world on the murdering of vulnerable Jewish civilians (mostly targeted children).

I suspect when God deals with Islam in Ezekiel 39, the world will convince itself Islam was just an innocent victim. The world will be reminded by the antichrist of all the friendly rhetoric Islam had spoken rather then their acts of terrorism. 9-11, and all future 9-11's will be blamed on a small few radicals like bin Laden and al-Qaida not Islam as a whole.

The present homicide bombers attacking Israel are pictured as a radical few associated with small independent militant groups. It is the rhetoric of Islam looking for the best deal with world opinion that produces such a view. The truth is God is going to destroy Islam for its hate and wickedness. The world that wanted to hear the lie will find the same fate in just 7 short years after the destruction of Islam. Armageddon comes first before the Lord Jesus Christ establishes His Jewish Kingdom here on earth!

***SPECIAL INSERT: Saying No" To A Palestinian State

The widely-held assumption in many foreign, and Israeli, circles that a Palestinian state is the desired solution for the current conflict is increasingly coming under fire. Arutz-7 presents the following set of excerpts - the first in a series - presenting voices that warn that a PLO state is far from an ideal solution:

 

 

Is the war of Islam on the Jews coming to your town? God seems to be allowing this war to become very personal to the country that dictates policy to Israel. Osama bin Laden said we are marked for death because we side with Israel. The FBI says it can't protect us from the kind of terrorism Israel faces daily from the homicide bombers. My personal thoughts are we will institute concentration camps for Arabs like we did for Japanese Americans during WW II before we put up with one week of terrorist attacks as happens in Israel?

I only wonder if the war should come to your town whether you would be willing to give the Arabs a state of their own right in the middle of town as the solution? I only wonder if God may be ready to teach America a lesson about His attitude to a Palestinian State in the middle of His Holy Land?

It matters not whether lessons are learned (or not). The end is already written in stone (actually written in the Bible). The Lord Jesus Christ is coming again to Jerusalem to establish His Jewish Kingdom, and nothing will stop Him. The Holy Land is the Lord's not the politicians. The Bible and current events say He is going to allow the Jews to have possession not the Arabs. The religion will be Biblical Judaism not Islam, and most certainly not apostate Christianity. Mankind can either submit, or be eliminated. Even the powerful United States of America is but nothing when God determines the time is right for the events leading to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ!

 

Deut 9:5
5Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Ahmed Jibril's son killed in Beirut blast
 

The radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command has vowed to avenge the assassination of the son of Ahmed Jibril, its leader, killed when his bobby-trapped car exploded in Beirut yesterday.

Jihad Jibril, 41, reportedly died immediately as he drove alone in his car through Beirut's swank Corniche Mazraa shopping area. The explosion ripped his body to shreds and damaged a number of other vehicles, but no one else was wounded.

The younger Jibril had been the head of operations for the PFLP-GC and was the man behind the group's recent attacks against Israel from Lebanon. He was also possibly linked to attempted arms smuggling to the Palestinian Authority.

Officials of the the Damascus-based PFLP-GC confirmed that Jihad Jibril had been killed. His father received the news in Damascus where he has been based for decades. His mother, Um Jihad, wept hysterically.

Since 1968 Jibril has led the small PFLP-GC, which totally rejects Israel's right to exist and has severely opposed Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's PLO for signing the Oslo peace accords. He blamed Israel for the assassination of his son. ...

Israel denied any connection to the killing of Jibril.

"Not everything that blows up in Beirut needs to be connected to Israel," Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said yesterday.

"We have no part of this," added Ben-Eliezer's media adviser Yarden Vatikay. "As usual, they blame Israel."

Abu Dhabi TV reported last night that a number of Palestinian suspects had been detained by Lebanese police in connection with the bombing of Jibril's car. It reported that Jibril might have been killed in an internal feud between rival Palestinian groups.

Israel Radio, quoting a report on AFP, said a previously unknown group called "The Lebanese Nationalists Organization" claimed responsibility for the killing. It said in a statement faxed to the AFP office in Nicosia, Cyprus that Jibril was targeted to avenge the group's operations in Lebanon on Syria's orders. ...

In 1970, PFLP-GC terrorists fired a bazooka at a school bus, killing 10 pupils and teachers near Moshav Avivim.

In 1985, it attained unprecedented prestige by winning the release of 1,150 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons in return for three IDF soldiers captured in Lebanon in 1982.

 

 

Its the same old story. Everything is blamed on Israel. More bazooka attacks on Jewish school buses will be justified by these wild animals that can't even get along with their fellow Islamic monsters. They kill each other then tell the Islamic world, and even the rest of the world gullible enough to listen that Israel is to blame. Somewhere in Israel, one of those poor brainwashed Islamic children will strap on a bomb to make Israel pay the price. It is too bad Allah can't reveal the truth to these  little ones. All that happens is another life, and the lives of many innocent Jewish victims gets wasted on lies from the Islamic adult leadership.

It is for this wickedness, and the congruent behavior of Islam as a whole that God is going to manifest quick judgment. The issue is not a comparison of righteousness on the part of others, but just the obvious wickedness that Islam has allowed to control their future aspirations as a religion. What makes this wickedness the kind that will bring a one time judgment is the place and the time! The place is the Holy Land, and the time is when God has brought the Jews back to possess the land! God's plan for dispensational change, and Islam's wicked resistance to that plan is about to bring judgment. God's plan is for a coming Jewish Kingdom ruled by a Jewish King is the source of this wicked resistance by Islam. The specific targeting of Jewish children has revealed just how wicked Islam has become. The tongue in cheek denials of these acts, or denial of complicity with these actions is obvious to all.  A terrible judgment of earth shattering magnitude is what the Bible reveals is coming for Islam according to Ezekiel 39.

Most today do not want to be confronted with the wrath of the God of the Bible. Eternal condemnation in torment is a subject that most refuse to contemplate. There will be no hiding for Islam in Ezekiel 39, and there will be no hiding from the wrath of the lamb for all who reject salvation in the name of Jesus Christ in this dispensation and the next!

 

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done!

First Islamic Invasion

Ezek 39:4-5
4Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Nuclear war threat over Kashmir crisis
By Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor
 

Straw mission over 'very real' chance of India-Pakistan conflict

BRITAIN gave warning of the “very real and very disturbing” possibility of nuclear war between India and Pakistan last night as the Government prepared an emergency mission to Delhi and Islamabad.

Jack Straw is to fly to the capitals next week to try to avert “the most serious conflict in the world in terms of potential casualties and the use of nuclear weapons”.

In a chilling assessment of the escalating tensions in the sub-continent, the Foreign Secretary told journalists: “The international community is watching events with mounting concern. This is a crisis the world cannot ignore.”

Ministers believe the situation is now so tense that just one provocation could trigger catastrophe, and the murder of a prominent Muslim leader yesterday plunged the region even deeper into trouble. A million soldiers are assembled along the India-Pakistan border, most of them concentrated in the disputed region of Kashmir, where fresh clashes were reported yesterday.

 

 

God has divided this world into 4 quarters. North, South, East, and West. Israel as part of the East sits near the middle of these 4 quarters. We are familiar with the most powerful Western World  which includes the USA as part of both North and South America, and most of Europe to Israel's West. The historical divider between East and West runs through the Aegean Sea of the Mediterranean separating Greece from Turkey. The South is Africa including Egypt, and the North is mostly the old USSR.

What makes these divisions important is that the Bible speaks to the final conflict (Armageddon) before the Kingdom age involves these 4 quarters of the earth.  They are denoted by their future Kings. One each for North, South, East, and West (home of the antichrist). What seems to be happening between Pakistan and India besides the obvious Moslem Hindu conflict is the clear delineation (Kashmir) between North (Pakistan) and East (India). The North is important from a Biblical perspective because it is involved in two separate invasions of Israel during those last days before the Kingdom. The first invasion before the beginning of the Great Tribulation is found in Ezekiel 38 & 39. It is a 3 pronged Islamic Jihad which involves the Islamic part of the North, the Islamic part of the East, and the Islamic part of the South. The second Invasion at the end of the Great Tribulation is the gathering of all the nations of the North, South, East, and West for the final battle of Armageddon in the Valley of Megiddo. It is the North that invades the City of Jerusalem on that last day when Jesus Christ returns as King of the Jews, and King of the earth. The 144,000 Jews who lay the foundation for a return to Biblical Judaism, and build the Third Jewish Temple with the Two Witnesses at the beginning of the Great Tribulation are there at the end when the Lord Jesus Christ returns. I believe they return from the wilderness where God watched over them during the time (3-1/2 years) the antichrist had been desecrating the Temple. On those last days they cleanse the Temple during the confusion of the antichrist withdrawing before the King of the North's attack which flows all the way into Egypt. On the last day the King of the North returns to Jerusalem for a final mop-up of Jewish resistance. It is then The Lord Jesus Christ shall fight as in the day of battle!

Islam will be first to face the wrath of God (Ezekiel 39) at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, and the world will face the wrath of God (Revelation 14) at the end of the Great Tribulation!

Missile-carrying Indian warships sail near Pakistan, air force on alert

Missile-carrying Indian naval warships steamed into the Arabian Sea, closer to Pakistan, as military tensions between the two South Asian nuclear neighbours soared, officials here said.

"We have moved five frontline ships of the eastern fleet to be cross-deployed to the western seaboard to augment the force levels," Naval spokesman Commander Rahul Gupta said.

Highly-placed naval sources told AFP that four of the vessels are armed with missiles but the spokesman declined to elaborate on the redeployment, which comes in the middle of heightening military tensions between India and Pakistan.

"A Russian-built destroyer, an indigenous frigate and three corvettes are steaming into the Arabian Sea from the Bay of Bengal," the source said, adding the destroyer, the frigate and two of the corvettes are capable of launching missiles.

The Indian Navy has already brought the country's merchant navy under its flag and kept its only aircraft carrier on a state of alert in the Bay of Bengal.

The Indian Air Force, the world's fourth largest, also went on alert as India's mobilisation gained momentum on Wednesday.

 

 

God is in control of world events, but He lifts His hand that the fruits of sin will have their just results. This foolish world thinks if it can only solve the problems with Israel everything will then be well? The world once thought if only Communism might be defeated everything would be well then also? It was not Communism that caused turmoil in the world as it is not Israel. The problem is sin. Should God remove His guiding hand over the world as He will during the Great Tribulation, it will not take long before sin destroys all of mankind. The potential for war, and destruction is always just an incident away.

I suspect the Moslem Pakistan will be part of the Northern Invading force in the Last Jihad of Ezekiel 38 & 39. The army now poised to repel India will join the other Moslem invaders from North of the Caucuses that will make up the Gog from the land of Magog. Only one sixth will return totally defeated. I would expect India will just take back Pakistan, and it will revert back to it's original status as part of India. It will then be under the Eastern King who will rule the hordes of both India and China. In the last days the Bible says the Euphrates River will dry-up releasing those hordes from the East to head for the Valley of Megiddo, and Armageddon!

In Twin Warnings, Bush Urges Europe to Deal With Saddam, Asks Putin to Cut Ties With Iran

Deal With Iraq, Bush Tells Europe

The Associated Press

M O S C O W, May 23 — Bearing words of warning across a continent, President Bush told wary European leaders Thursday "we've got to use all means at our disposal to deal with Saddam Hussein" and urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to sever nuclear ties with Iran.

"If you arm Iran, you're liable to get the weapons pointed at you," the president said on the eve of signing a historic U.S.-Russian nuclear arms reduction treaty. Bush considers Russia's dealings with Iran the single greatest proliferation threat on the globe, a senior adviser said en route to Moscow.

On a day that took him from the old East-West divide of Berlin to the heart of the former Soviet Union, a defiant Bush answered critics of his expanding anti-terror war plans. He denounced anyone who would appease terrorists or ignore threats to Europe.

"We will and must confront this conspiracy against our liberties and against our lives," the president said in an address to the Bundestag, Germany's parliament.

 

 

The expanding war on terrorism continues to follow the nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39. They will all be part of the soon coming Islamic Jihad invasion of Israel. The war started with the Northern arm of Islam reaching into Georgia and Chechnya the heart of the Gog across the Caucasus, and now appears to be moving to the Eastern arm of old Persia. Soon it will move to Libya and the Sudan of the Southern arm. The success of this war on terrorism is not the utter destruction of the Islamic armies, but rather getting new governments that will be word friendly to the West. American aid flows into these countries once the hand shakes are done. The heart of Islam still hates the Jew above all other people. When the antichrist or his forerunners weaken Western resolve to defend Israel, these Islamic countries will seize on the opportunity.

I'm convinced the end of this war on terrorism will be a Godless peace that will only lead to a great Jihad invasion of Israel.

Sixteen-year-old becomes youngest Palestinian suicide bomber
Fri May 24, 3:19 PM ET

By IBRAHIM HAZBOUN, Associated Press Writer

BETHLEHEM, West Bank - A teen-age Palestinian who blew himself up this week amid a group of elderly Israelis playing cards and dominoes in a park, was the youngest suicide bomber in the last 20 months of bloodshed.

 

 

What causes a child to become a wild bloodthirsty beast? It is the culture! The parents, the religion, the teachers, the news media, and the government all train the little children to become wild bloodthirsty animals. It is all done by the adults who tell them it is Allah's will. The rich Moslem sheiks who manipulate and finance all of it while sitting on their thrones in faked innocents are more corrupt then even the homosexual part of the Roman Catholic priesthood.  A larger world watches with little distain because it is Jews who are being murdered. This culture would be the outrage of the world were it victimizing any other Western capital city. Today, it seems the only other one besides the Jews that is outraged is God. 

The stage is set for a one time judgment of Islam. The wickedness of this culture nurtured in the name of religion has reached up to heaven. The Jews have experienced worse wickedness, but never in the Holy Land. And, never at the time when God was preparing to change dispensations. The wrath of God is revealed in the Bible. The land where the wickedness is taking place is His. The time is God's also.

The challenge has been boldly laid out before the whole world by Islam. The Holy Land and the future is either Allah and the Koran, or God and the Bible! It is either Islam , or Judaism (a return to the Bible Judaism)! The wickedness has reached the depths of depravity with child sacrifice. The end can't be far away!

Ice oceans found on Mars

Water-ice has been found in vast quantities just below the surface across great swathes of the planet Mars

The finding by the American space agency Nasa is undoubtedly one of the most important made about the Red Planet.

It solves one of its deepest mysteries, points the way for manned exploration and reignites the question of whether life may exist on Mars.

Insiders suggest that partly as a result of this finding, Nasa may commit itself to a manned landing within 20 years. ...

Look for life

The dramatic discovery may also guide the selection of future landing and exploration sites on Mars, and may suggest areas to look for evidence of past life.

The presence of such a vast amount of ice - if it were to melt it could cover the planet in an ocean at least 500 metres deep (1640 feet) - will change profoundly the direction of future exploration. ...

The Mars Polar Lander was to touch down in exactly the right spot in 1999 and would have undoubtedly detected the ice had it not malfunctioned on the way down.

Having water just below the surface will be an enormous boon to astronauts on Mars.

Water is essential for life, so the discovery enhances the belief that Mars could have had life in the past and perhaps in the present as well.

Because of that, bringing a sample of the ice and rock back to Earth by an unmanned sample return probe is becoming a top priority.

 

 

I remember the first Mars Lander when I was working in the fish canneries of Alaska. I was one of only two practicing Christians at the cannery. All day long people went out of their way to let me know life had been found on the red planet. It turned out to be a false report due to equipment malfunction, but I often reflect on how such a discovery of life beyond earth stirs the unsaved into bold, and even a gleeful denial that God exists. It wasn't anything that I had ever said. It was just an automatic reaction by those who demanded my testimony be either wrong or phony. They couldn't break the fact that God had changed my life for righteousness sake (not perfection), but life on Mars was all the justification they needed to break my testimony from a rationally thinking person's perspective.

Carl Sagan left behind a testimony to the world of a rational thinker. He is glorified today much like Mother Teresa. His most noteworthy achievement was the SETI extravaganza which spent billions looking for intelligent life in the universe.  He only found what all the space probes ever launched found. That the universe is sterile!

I personally feel the Kingdom will be here before any manned exploration of Mars takes place. I am not afraid to say all they would have found is another sterile planet in a universe of sterility. Evolution is a lie. Carl Sagan bet his life on evolution, and left only finding that there is no evidence. I have given my life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Every day I'm amazed at how He changed my life for the good. He has proven Himself more then sufficient in all that life can throw at me!  My testimony can be duplicated a thousand fold by others who are born again not by personal vanity, but by changed lives who's testimonies can't be broken no matter what the test.

The testimony of one who was lost, but now is found. A testimony that can't be broken leaves those who willingly remain in sin without excuse. If God saved me who was lost as any, then God can save any who will just come to Christ as I did!

 

Ps 18:41
41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

Mofaz confirms JP report on Iranian Shihab 3 test
By ARIEH O'SULLIVAN, HERB KEINON AND NEWS AGENCIES

Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz confirmed yesterday that Iran has recently tested its medium range Shihab-3 missile, and warned that the day was approaching when Teheran could pose an existential threat to the Jewish state.

As reported in The Jerusalem Post two weeks ago, Iran carried out a successful test of its Shihab-3 1,300-km-range missile and has decided to start serial production. ....

US officials said Thursday that Iran had carried out a successful test of the Shahab-3, which has a range of 1,300 kilometers (810 miles) adequate to reach Israel and US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and eastern Turkey. ...

Shamkhani said Saturday that US pressure on Russia and China to halt cooperation with Iran had no impact on its missile program.

Shamkhani also denied reports that Iran was planning to produce Shahab-4 or Shahab-5 missiles, which would have longer ranges.

 

 

The luxury of time is no longer available. Another burst of technological advancement in the Islamic world brings confrontation of end time scenarios that much closer to reality. These are not responsible governments, but fanatical religious zealots who are intent on bringing suicidal havoc on the non-Islamic world even at the cost of their own children. Israel above all others is their primary goal of conquest. The same irresponsible attitudes of the fanatical Nazis and suicidal  Japanese who thought nothing of sacrificing children for their cause raises it's ugly head again in Islam. The cultures are familiar, and only the names have changed. This time technology, and the computer age has brought the reality of worldwide destruction to all. The 9/11 wake-up has opened the eyes of only a few. The aftermath of 9/11 indicates a world ready for destruction. The churches that filled the first weeks after 9/11 are now empty again. America has turned its back on God despite all the dire warnings of things yet to come. It will soon be that men will look for God in their troubles, but it will be too late. God will not be mocked! Longsuffering has limits, and those limits are being revealed in this present apathy.

I can only wonder at the masses that filled the Churches after 9/11 found it too late for them? It is God who knows the heart, and when it is time to shut the door! The Kingdom is at hand, and many will find the door is shut when God looks into their hearts.

7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

POLICE LOOKING FOR "QUIET" MOMENT TO RE-OPEN TEMPLE MOUNT

Israel authorities are leaning towards ending the 20-month ban on Christian and Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, but the Muslim Waqf is threatening to block their entry.

Nearly two years after the government declared the Temple Mount in Jerusalem off-limits to non-Muslims, efforts are again under way to "quietly" reopen the site to Christians and Jews soon, Israeli police and security officials said over the weekend. The Israeli cabinet is soon expected to implement a recommendation by the Shin Bet to gradually reopen to the Temple Mount to Jews and Christians, returning to the status quo that existed before the outbreak of the violent Palestinian intifada in late September 2000, when the site was open to all.

The issue was supposed to be addressed by the cabinet earlier this spring, but the wave of suicide bombings and Operation Defensive Shield put the move on hold.

The 20-month ban has been the longest the site has been closed to non-Muslims since the unification of Israel's capital in 1967. Israeli intelligence has urged the re-opening of the site, fearing that right-wing extremists may take matters into their own hands and concerned that the long closure of the site is setting a dangerous precedent. Israeli police opposed the move at first, but have shifted their views, according to informed sources.

In response, Adnan al-Husseini, director of the Waqf at the site, threatened that he would not allow non-Muslims to enter.  "Only Palestinians will decide who will and who will not enter," he said.

 

 

The issue is sovereignty, and who really has control over the Temple Mount! Islam lost it's sovereignty in the1967 six day war when all of Jerusalem reverted from Jordanian control to Jewish sovereignty. Islam has tried to impose sovereignty by threat only, but the Jews are the ones with the final say as to how the Temple mount will be administered. It is Jewish will not Islamic will that  has the last word! I'm convinced that as Arafat must go so also must Adnan al-Husseini of the Islamic Waqf. He was instrumental in destroying forever the Jewish archeological remains under the Temple Mount as he attempted to build a grand mosque there. His desecration of this Holy Place is comparable to what the antichrist will do to it when sovereignty falls into his hands.

The Jews have sat back for 35 years leaving Islam call the shots on the Temple Mount under the guise of keeping the peace. It has proved a futile attempt at compromise with an adversary who has no respect, and is out to destroy Israel. I suspect this quite takeover will be as futile. The end can only be the complete eviction of these heathen interlopers. A complete bulldozer type cleansing of the Mount, and the call for a Third Jewish Temple is the only end. How it happens can only be speculation for now, but it is going to happen. The Bible says a Third Jewish Temple will be standing, and performing proper kosher service 3-1/2 years into the Great Tribulation.

This quiet attempt at turning back the clock is not going to work. What will work is Jews looking at real time, and moving forward in preparation for the coming Jewish Biblical Kingdom.

RED CROSS TO PUT MDA ON "EQUAL FOOTING"

International Red Cross officials announced late last week that Israel's national emergency medical society Magen David Adom (Red Star of David) will be placed on an "equal footing" with all other members of the Red Cross movement pending their formal admittance 18 months down the road.

After more than 50 years of unfairly being barred from full membership, MDA appears to have finally broken the barrier, and will be granted full membership in 18 months. In the meantime, the humanitarian organization will be allowed to participate in all IRCM activities, work, and policy discussions.

The breakthrough was announced on Thursday by Jaap Timmer, the International Red Cross Federation representative in Israel, in a meeting with the MDA council. Timmer added that from now on, MDA is included in the list of Red Cross Web sites and on the list of all Red Cross communications. The decision comes after the American Red Cross increased pressure on the International Red Cross headquarters in Geneva by withholding dues.

Despite the good news for MDA, a Red Cross official criticized Israel last week, charging it with violating the Fourth Geneva Conventions on Warfare by exiling the 13 Bethlehem terrorists sent to European countries to end the 39-day standoff at the Church of the Nativity. The conventions prohibit the mass transfer of populations to or from areas under foreign military occupation.

The Red Cross criticism is actually untenable, since the Palestinians agreed to be "temporarily" exiled rather than stand trial in Israel on terrorism charges. In addition, Israel contends the treaty in question does not legally apply to Judea/Samaria and Gaza, since they are "disputed" territories, and not "occupied" lands of a state that is a signatory to the conventions.

 

 

This is another example of the world's subtle anti-Semitism. It was once argued that Israel's refusal to use the Red Cross, but rather a Red Star of David was reason enough to refuse admission. That argument proved nothing but smoke screening when the Red Crescent was deemed acceptable for Moslem countries. It is sad that it wasn't until the International purse strings were tightened by the American branch that they finally (50-years) relented. The bad attitude against Israel was highlighted with that stupid criticism made at the same time of the acceptance announcement. I have heard no criticism of the Palestinians who use Red Crescent ambulances to move their armed assassins into hot firefights. Most recently the Israeli's have captured homicide bombers inside the Red Crescent ambulances in transport, and the Red Crescent is regularly used by the Palestinians to move bombs and arms.

It is a one sided world that will change from subtlety to open hostility when the antichrist comes. The hate is already there just waiting for one even worse then Hitler to offer leadership. The denial of Israel into the Red Cross when the abuses of the Palestinian Red Crescent are so blatantly ignored is only anti-Semitism at it's worst. No other nation has ever been this mistreated for this length of time. Again, the only thing Israel has been guilty of over the last 50-years is that they are Jewish!

In the mind of a would-be suicide bomber
By DAVID RUDGE

 

Looking at Thauriya Hamamreh, it is hard to accept that she had wanted to blow herself to pieces and murder and maim as many Israelis as possible in the process.

This petite, dark haired Palestinian had planned, however, to do just that for reasons that remain incomprehensible on any rational level, even after a nearly two-hour interview.

Hamamreh, a fervently religious Muslim with an engaging and almost impish smile, volunteered to be a suicide bomber and offered her services to someone with whom she was acquainted from the Aksa Martyrs Brigades.

She had an explosive belt, packed with nails and other metal objects stitched into the lining, strapped around her body during a 45-minute training session in Nablus two days before the scheduled attack. Hamamreh was arrested at her aunt's home in Tulkarm on May 20, the day of the planned attack. ...

She said doubts had begun to gnaw at her mind, along with seeds of disillusionment regarding her handlers and their motives, during the 24 hours between the dry run and the intended bombing.

Hamamreh, 25, who looks much younger, spoke to reporters yesterday at the Kishon jail near Haifa, where she is being held in the security wing, about the steps that led to her volunteering to become a human bomb.

The instructions she received unleashed a series of doubts, primarily over the "righteousness" of the operation and whether her prime motivation, which was of a personal nature rather than a pure religious belief, would weigh against her when she confronted God after her death.

"I also began to imagine the people I would be killing, whether they would be women and children, families sitting down at a cafe. I became a bit disillusioned, because I had been told to blow myself up in any event," she said.

"This meant to me that what was important for them was to succeed in perpetrating an attack, whether there were casualties or not, and then they would be able to pat themselves on the back. I felt like they were playing a game with the blood of the martyrs."

Instead of obeying instructions, she decided to visit the home of an aunt in Tulkarm, pretending that it was a normal visit even though she had basically run away from home. ....

She stressed that she had no personal fear and that for her to be shot and killed was not something that frightened her. She only fears God.

When she was asked how she would react when she met members of her family, she suddenly broke down and started crying.

"I would ask their forgiveness for having gone away and for having caused them so much concern, because parents do not raise their children to seek death. I would hope they would forgive me as parents do, although I would prefer not to see them now because I wouldn't really know what to say."

 

 

This is an extraordinary interview. It indicates that compassion as a human being has not been entirely eradicated by the Arafat culture forced on the Palestinian people. It indicates that the robot cloning process by the adult leadership has not succeeded in every case. The sad part of this story will be in the months to come should this young girl try to return to the only family and culture she has known. I'm sure there will be no parades in the streets for her. I doubt her life is worth a plug nickel anywhere in Palestine, and probably nowhere else in the entire Islamic world. I would suspect Israel will do its best to provide a sanctuary, but love of family even if one sided will probably win out. I think she knows already her family will never be allowed to show her compassion again. A bullet in the head by her handlers may be her best expectation for an end to this tragic situation?

I will be praying that Christ might give her true refuge. The greatest miracle in the most hopeless situation is what God does in this wicked world of sin. It is for the meek and lowly that the Kingdom is coming. This worthless wicked world needs change. God is about to change dispensations.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done!"
