Transfer: Jews Moving Into Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria
17:46 Oct 02, '05 / 28 Elul 5765
By Scott Shiloh
 

Despite the disengagement that saw 10,000 Jews uprooted from their homes in Gaza and northern Samaria, the flow of Jews into Judea and Samaria has accelerated to record levels in recent months.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), new home purchases in Judea and Samaria have surged by 38% from January to June 2005, as compared to the same period last year. The rate was even higher in Jerusalem, an area that was battered by terrorist attacks since the start of the Oslo war in September 2000, with sales of new homes rising by 52.5%.

Israel’s real estate sector was hard hit by the Oslo war which sent the economy into a tailspin. But unlike the general economy, the real estate market has only recently begun to recover from the impact of that war.

Ironically, the areas hardest hit by terrorism from the Oslo War, Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, are reporting the biggest boon in real estate activity. Sales of new homes in Judea and Samaria have reached an all time high in 2005, making up 5.3% of all new home purchases nationwide.

The figures for Judea and Samaria contrast sharply with the rest of the country which witnessed an 8% overall rise in new home purchases in the period from March to July 2005.

Interestingly, locations formerly considered highly desirable by new home buyers, in Tel Aviv and the center of the country, have been beleaguered by falling home sales. Purchases of new homes in Tel Aviv have dropped by 19% so far this year, followed by an 18% decline in the center of the country.

Home purchases in the North, a more peripheral area, also fell by 17%.

Twently-nine percent of all unsold new homes are located in Tel Aviv, with only 5.6% in Jerusalem, despite Jerusalem’s larger population. The supply of unsold homes in Judea and Samaria stands at only 1.5% of the national total, down from 2.5% last year.

The lack of new housing starts has kept the supply of unsold new homes at low levels nationally. The CBS estimates that Israel has only 11,969 unsold apartments, barely a year’s supply. That quantity is eroding rapidly in Jerusalem which has only a seven month supply of new apartments. In relative terms, the Negev has the largest supply, enough to last 16 months

The liberal secular Jews get the headlines as they force the Independent Fundamental Jewish Settlers out of the Gaza, but the spirit of the settlers continues to occupy the Promised Land behind the scenes. The world knows the next stage of the blasphemous Road Map will be to expel the rising 1/4 million conservative Jews out of Samaria, Judah, and Jerusalem. The bastion of Jewish liberal secularism in Tel Aviv is suffering a very clear backlash as they have now forced their will on the supposed democratic system of government. The truth of liberal vindictiveness has been exposed, and many Jews do not like what they saw.  It is the newer younger next generation Jews who are leading this turn around along with a large number of this generation immigrants mostly from the old USSR. Something is happening in Israel, and I think it is for the good.

The battle between the Bible, and the Koran in the Holy Land is going to be settled on the Temple Mount. The secular liberal Jews are on record as prepared to give it away to Islam as they did the Gaza. They will use whatever force is needed to accomplish their foolish bleeding heart vision for a peaceful Holy Land. They have no interest in God, or His Bible. They care nothing for the promises God gave the Jews about the Promised Land. They would usurp His authority by forcing the gentile Road Map on the entire nation. A time of reckoning is almost here, and those who chose secularism over the Bible will find a time such has not been known of Great Tribulation.

The Bible does talk of a false peace coming to the nation of Israel just before the coming dispensational change. The false peace appears to be a secular peace plan based on lies. It is very similar in appearance to the Road Map. It will find the nation at rest dwelling safely in cities without walls. The Bible warns the Jews to be on their guard because when all are saying peace when there is no peace then the Islamic hordes will invade!

Ezekiel 38:11-12
ll go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
KJV
 

The Jews as a people have thrived in the Holy Land. In a short 50 years they have become a power to be reckoned. The Palestinians on the other hand will all that Arab oil money have deteriorated into a nation of barbarians nourished only by hate for the Jews. The spoil and the prey for the invaders is very clear to those of this generation!

The hearts of the Jews of this generation seems to be in flux. A desire to seek the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob may well be behind this latest trend tp occupy the Promised Land. The secular liberal majority are losing ground, but I doubt they will lose the effort at forcing the gentile Road Map on the nation. However, it will be a faithful remnant that God will bless in the end. A Last Holy Jewish Temple is on the drawing board of Bible prophecy. Only a remnant of Jews are predicted to build it dispite all the opposition of a phony world which is trading the Road Map for Biblical everlasting peace!

Olmert: Pullout has led to 'a little more hope' for New Year

Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a pre-Rosh Hashana interview Monday that this summer's Gaza disengagement was the first step in a path that could lead to peace with the Palestinians and a move that will allow Israel to celebrate the New Year, "with a little less fear and a little more hope." "There's a feeling that for the first time, carefully and responsibly, we are forging a path that could lead to significant advancements toward peace," Olmert said in an interview with Israel Radio. "I think we're going to have to expand this path in the coming year," he said while refusing to discuss whether the government intends further territorial concessions in 2006.

Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal rejects Rice call to disarm

By Haaretz Service and Reuters

Senior Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, rejecting a strong call by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for the disarming of the powerful Islamic fundamentalist organization, declared that Hamas has the right to simultaneously pursue a policy of armed attacks against Israel and participation in Palestinian Authority elections.

Rice, going beyond past U.S. statements on the issue, said Friday that Hamas cannot remain an armed organization and also participate in the PA political process.

"Hamas is a terror organization and it has to be disbanded, both for the sake of peace and security in the Middle East and for the sake of the proper functioning of the Palestinian Authority. After all, under the road map, the Palestinian Authority has undertaken to disband militias and armed resistance groups," Rice said in an address.

"Hamas," she continued, "stands for a one-state solution, not a two-state solution. Hamas therefore stands for the destruction of Israel. Hamas is an organization that asks Palestinian mothers and fathers to give their children up to make themselves suicide bombers. And it is a real detriment and block to further peace in the Middle East."

But Meshaal, speaking at a joint news conference with hardline PLO leader Farouk Kaddoumi, said, "So long as our land is occupied it is the right of the Palestinian people and their factions to combine resistance and political activities. Resistance and its arms are directed against the occupation while political activity is part of re-arranging the Palestinian home."

 

The liberal bleeding heart Jews are optimistic for year 5766 since the creation of this physical universe. The Biblical Jewish way of dating the year will probably be their next project to attack and destroy. Everything is going the way of these secularists, and liberal optimism is at it's heights. The only problem is that the Palestinians are not getting with the gentile Road Map. The word coming from their camp despite the with-drawl from the Gaza is that there will be no change coming from them! All the optimism in the world can't change the hate nurtured into this generation of Palestinians. The Road Map is a fools errand whenever reality shows it's truthful face. Saying things are going to get better because your ideology has been put into play, and actually experiencing a better world are two very different things. Communism made great promises. The communist advocates made wonderful speeches, but it was all for nothing! The world peace they promised was destroyed by their own greed. The Russians don't know what to do with the body of Lenin. It has turned a bright red over the years because of failed preservatives, and no one visits the tomb anymore. It has become a white elephant that will probably get stored in some obscure government warehouse. Who could have imagined during the heights of the cold war that in 2005 Lenin's body would be such an example of failure? The signs of failure were all over Communism, but who really believed what reality was saying. The refusal  of the communists to acknowledge God was their greatest failure. This, more then any other factor condemned them to their present fate.

The Road Map is another similar ideology being given wonderful reviews. Today, we are experiencing it at it's height of popularity. The signs of failure are all around, but the ideologues remain undaunted. They were determined that by giving Islam the victory over most of the Holy Land peace will come. The next steps are Samaria, Judah, and Jerusalem, and with Jerusalem will go sovereignty over the Temple Mount. It matters not that this plan goes contrary to what the Bible predicts the future of a Jewish Holy Land will be like. In a very real way the Road Map defies the God of the Bible as much as Communism did, and just as Communism fell in one quick moment so also will this Road Map fail.

The Bible predicts a false peace in Ezekiel 38 just before a three pronged Islamic invasion of Israel takes place. I think this Road Map may well be that false peace! A peace that will cause the nation of Israel to go to sleep. A phony rest will come upon the Jews of Israel as they dwell safely in unwalled cities. I think the separation fence is also going to go the way the Gaza has gone. It is then that the Road Map fails for the Bible says the Islamic hordes from North, East, and South invade pushing the Jews into a Dunkirk situation with their backs to the Mediterranean Sea. It will be God who comes to their rescue on behalf of a new remnant that will turn to the Christ of the raptured Christian Church. They will recognize the Savior of those Christians raptured out of the Great Apostate Whore of today's Christianity is also their Messiah. It will be this remnant that will build the last Holy Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. Islam is destroyed in Ezekiel 39, and becomes nothing but a memory as has the Nazis and the Communists of this past generation.

Folks, Jesus is coming again. He is coming to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount. He will be the King of Glory to all the "born again" Christians since Pentecost to the Rapture. He will be the Messiah, the King of the Jews, and the LORD of hosts ruling from His Holy Hill for a remnant of Jews living in Israel who will establish the next dispensation from the Rapture to the end of the 1000 year earthly reign of Christ. 5766 is the year to watch these things coming to fruition. Are you ready?

Israel seeks peace boost from Abbas summit: FM

Israel's foreign minister expressed hope Saturday a summit next week between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas would help resurrect the currently moribund roadmap peace plan.

However Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom also warned that Palestinians must first dismantle militant groups, as armed factions in the Gaza Strip issued a joint statement rejecting calls to surrender their weapons.

"This summit is not an ordinary get-together," Shalom told public radio of the meeting between the two leaders, expected to take place early next week.

"We are doing everything possible for it to be successful and to lead to the relaunch of negotiations with a view to applying the roadmap.

"However, we are not waiving the first phase of this plan, which demands the dismantlement of Palestinian terrorist organisations, including (the radical Islamic group) Hamas," he said.

The roadmap, unveiled in 2003 by the quartet of the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations, charted a course for an end to violence and the creation of a Palestinian state living in peace with Israel.

It has been languishing ever since amid continuing unrest and mutual recriminations.

Shalom rejected claims by the Palestinian Authority that it does not have the wherewithal to take on militant groups.

"I do not believe that these (security) services lack ammunition. Their problem is that they have still not taken the strategic decision to disarm the terrorist groups.

"If they were to take that decision and if calm were to prevail, then we are ready for an important round of confidence (boosting) measures."

Although Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas has repeatedly called on armed factions to stop carrying weapons in public to end the rampant security chaos in the Gaza Strip, powerful militias have so far flouted calls to disarm.

In a clear signal to Abbas, eight groups -- including the armed wings of Islamic Jihad and Hamas -- made their latest vow not to give up their arms despite the withdrawal of Israeli forces and settlers from the Gaza Strip.

"Giving up the weapons would play into the hands of the enemy and any attempt to disarm us would meet strong resistance," said the groups in a statement read out at a Gaza City news conference.

"Carrying on the struggle is a strategic choice and the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip does not mean that the Gaza Strip is excluded from the struggle," they said.

Imagine the gentile world powers offering Joshua a "Road Map" plan that would give the heathen Canaanites a Kingdom of their own in the Holy Land with Jerusalem as it's capital.  That Second generation of the Exodus who were born in the wilderness would have forfeited their rights to the land. Today the second generation of this Third miraculous Exodus are facing this dilemma. A remnant have protested only to be crushed by the secular government.  The Independent Fundamental Jewish Settlers remain as dedicated to conquering the Land as they ever were, but the whole world is against them. The secular majority of Jews want a compromised peace with the gentiles. It is only this small remnant that stand defiantly on the Bible. They know the Bible says when their Messiah comes He will destroy the gentiles, and all who have compromised with them.

Matthew 12:18

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles .
KJV

The New Testament reveals the Servant who will come to evoke judgment on the gentiles is none other then the LORD Jesus Christ when He comes again! The born again Christians will have been taken up to heaven at the rapture leaving only the Great Apostate Whore of today's Christianity to face judgment along with all the other heathen gentile religions. It will be a terrible day of slaughter as the entire gentile world is drawn into the valley of decision! They will come for war with all their weapons, but God will prove more powerful. The Valley of Jehoshaphat will truely be the Valley of Decision. The entire heathen world will have to decide if they will submit to the King of the Jews now sitting on His throne in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on His Holy Hill of Zion! It will be from the Temple Mount that the command will be given to the Holy Angels to thrust the sickles of death into the gathered throng of a terribly wicked generation.

The Road Map is a gentile plan that would give Judah, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount to the heathen forever. The subtlety of this blasphemous plan to stop Jesus from coming again, and stop the judgment on the gentiles is abundantly clear. Friend, I pray you see the danger, and make your decision to stand with God - not the world. Judgment is coming very soon despite all the mockers. Are you ready? Have you come to the Christ of the Bible? Only He can save the lost through His cleansing blood shed at Calvary. Won't you come, and let His cleansing blood wash away all your sin? Total submission to His salvation is the requirement. It is your decision! You must come with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might!

Deuteronomy 6:5

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart , and with all thy soul , and with all thy might .
KJV

Matthew 22:37-38

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.
KJV

PA OFFICIAL RECRUITS 14 YEAR OLD BOMBER

Israel's Shin Bet security services said Wednesday morning said that it has arrested a 14-year-old Palestinian boy from the Nablus on suspicion of planning to carry out a suicide bombing. According to the boy's testimony officials from the Palestinian Authority's governing Fatah movement in the Balata refugee camp attempted to persuade him to carry out the attack, following an argument with his father. After a 'motivational talk' he was apparently taken to an apartment to film a "video testimony," in which he appears armed announcing his intent to carry out a suicide attack. Among those behind the attempt to recruit the boy was Jamal Tirawi, a wanted member of the Tanzim terrorist group and member of the PA intelligence service in Nablus.
 

PA: Fatah Gunmen have killed more Palestinians than IDF

The Palestinian Authority has recently urged Palestinian factions to support efforts in restoring law and order after PA officials admitted this week that more Palestinians have died in internal strife than at the hands of the IDF in the first nine months of 2005.  The PA’s interior ministry pointed out a connection between its own statistics and the deteriorating security situation found in areas controlled by the PA, blaming the largest share of the disorder on the armed wing of its own ruling Fatah faction. The PA data included 20 incidents of lawlessness in August involving Fatah gunmen, including several attacks at Al-Azhar University in Gaza City. The al-Aqsa Brigades have been responsible for numerous suicide bombing attacks in Israel since their founding by former PA leader Yasser Arafat shortly before the launch of the second intifada.
 

THREE KILLED IN SUNDAY SHOOTINGS
Two More Critical after near-simultaneous Palestinian attacks
 

Nearly simultaneous drive-by shootings, one at the Gush Etzion Junction south of Jerusalem and the other at the settlement of Eli in northern Samaria, left three Israelis dead and five wounded Sunday and prompted the Defense Ministry to re-impose closures on Palestinian areas and cut contacts with the Palestinian Authority, The Jerusalem Post reports.

As of Monday morning four of the injured were still in hospital, two in critical condition.

According to the official PA radio station ‘Voice of Palestine’, both attacks were carried out gunmen linked to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades – the terrorist wing of Mahmoud Abbas’ governing Fatah movement.

Among the dead was Matat (Rosenfeld) Adler, 21, buried by her husband of two months in Jerusalem mid morning Monday next to her cousin, Kinneret Mandel, 21, who died with her. Both were from the community of Carmel in the southern Hebron Hills. The third fatality in the Gush Etzion attack was fifteen-year-old Oz Ben-Meir of nearby Maon who was also buried Monday.

Shortly after the shootings Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz cut security contact with the Palestinians and ordered the IDF to reestablish recently removed roadblocks and to re-impose blockades on Palestinian cities, a security source said.

"We want the dialogue with the Palestinians to continue but we can't if the Palestinian Authority doesn't start taking significant and active steps against the terrorist organizations," Mofaz said Sunday evening. ...

The withdrawal from the Gaza has changed absolutely nothing! If anything it has emboldened the Palestinian people to expect even more action from the terrorists they protect and support. The more gruesome the attacks on the Jews the greater the street parties in show of support. All this despite the knowledge that these thugs recruit little impressionable children from the Palestinian society to do their dirty work. They use a family quarrel as the basis to convince a little boy to blow himself up for Allah. These thugs care nothing for those whom they murder. They assassinate Palestinian as well as Jew. They only care about themselves. The Palestinian people have so nurtured their hate for the Jews that they accept these brutal barbarians as their overlords. These are covetous men of which the Bible warns are an abhorrence. They are motivated by their own pride, and are grievous to all they come into contact. Their consciences are so seared that doing right for any cause is beyond their comprehension.

Psalms 10:3-5

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous , whom the LORD abhorreth.

4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
KJV
 

The Palestinian people have put themselves on the road to destruction because of their wickedness. They are absolutely blind to what the God of the Bible is doing. The entire gentile world will soon be confronted with their wickedness. This is what this latest Exodus of the Jews back to the Holy Land is all about. The time for decision is near. All who refuse to repent. All who through their own pride refuse to see their wickedness will be destroyed. A Biblical era lasting almost 2000 years is coming to an end. Judgment is coming that will end this era of the Times of the Gentiles, and will re-establish the Jewish Kingdom in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount once again. This time the Jews must listen to their God. Right now pride reigns among the Jews, but they know what must be done. It is no secret! They must surrender to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Total and complete surrender is all that will be accepted. A Jewish Kingdom based totally upon the Bible is their only hope for redemption and salvation.

Friend, it is only this kind of surrender to Christ that is acceptable for salvation today.. Don't follow the false christ's of this wicked unrepentant generation that will lead you only to eternal damnation. Surrender to the Christ who tells you to lift up His cross, and be not ashamed.

Indor: Israel's New Toughness Will be Short-Lived
11:23 Oct 17, '05 / 14 Tishrei 5766
By Hillel Fendel

Lt.-Col. (res.) Meir Indor says that Israel's hands are tied by the U.S., and that the military measures it took after Sunday's fatal terrorist attack will end when public opinion is pacified.

Indor, head of the Almagor Terror Victim Association, said that the United States had granted "permission" to implement the measures for "only a short time."

The army and security apparatus are hiding important information from the public, Indor charges. "In the framework of the disengagement plan," he says, "Israel promised the Americans and the PA that it would neutralize three critical elements of its security protection. Israel promised to remove or reduce most of the checkpoints on Judea/Samaria roads, grant permission for private Arab vehicles to travel on the main roads, and retreat from the Arab-populated cities in Judea/Samaria."

"Most of the restrictions that were emplaced on the Palestinians following the wave of terrorism in Judea/Samaria," he says, "and which succeeded in reducing the shooting attacks, have been removed - resulting in an increase in attacks."

Gush Etzion Regional Council head Sha'ul Goldstein echoed Indor's evaluation that the removal of the above security elements led to an increase in terrorism and attacks such as the murder of the three young Israelis on Sunday.

"Israel's promises were made to the Americans in a document that was termed a 'side letter' to the Disengagement Plan," Indor said. "For this reason, unlike the entire plan itself, the letter was not brought up for discussion in the Cabinet or in the Knesset. Most of the ministers and Knesset Members did not know about it, and neither did the media. We in Almagor tried but failed to bring it to public attention."

Indor said that he requested that the Cabinet hold a meeting before the implementation of the disengagement to discuss Israel's promises. "The answer we received," Indor said, "was that it was true that the promises were not approved, but that they would be 'presented to the ministers' - trying to minimize the severity of the promises and the need to discuss them."

"Even now," he said, "the Israeli promises that leave us little room for maneuvering are hidden in various Defense Ministry statements and in the IDF, as if they were just gestures initiated by Israel. Not a word is mentioned about the fact that we obligated ourselves. The new measures that were decided upon will only last for a short period, until Israeli public opinion calms down a little."

" Unfortunately," Indor concluded, "when Israel has to choose between its own military needs and its commitments to the U.S., it chooses the latter - or else reduces its own needs to a minimum."
 

The God of the Bible made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would keep their seed intact over the course of history. A thousand generations would not be long enough for God to go back on His promise to the Jews. The land, and the history of the Jews are one in the same. Biblical Judaism can't function without a Temple, and there is only one place on the entire planet that God authorized His House be built. In the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. God has brought the Jews back in this generation so His promises can be fulfilled. The majority of Jews as well as the masses of gentiles are kicking and screaming as God forces His Biblical will on the planet.

The oldest lesson God taught the Jews throughout history was no covenants with the gentiles! The Road Map being shoved down their throats by the gentile United States is the most odious of covenants ever conceived. It will force the Jews to give away large parts of the Holy Land to the most barbaric culture on the planet today. A forever kingdom will be given to these blood thirsty conscienceless animals who so hardened their hearts that even their own children are willingly, and even encouraged to be suicide bombers. They are taught to hate the Jews from cradle to grave at home, in school, at the mosque, in the news, and from the very government that rules over them. It is one unending message of hate. They hate the God of the Jews as much as they hate every Jewish man, woman, and child. The Road Map is forcing this culture on the Jews of Israel forever. The plan has just begun. It is no secret that after Gaza will go Samaria, and Judah. The faithful Jewish Settlers who trust in God rather then a gentile covenant are now the villains who must be removed from their land. With Judah will go most of Jerusalem, and with Jerusalem will go Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount! I doubt God will remain silent once this happens.

Islam is about to meet the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob face to face! Ezekiel 38 & 39 is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Not only will the heathen know it is this mighty God of the Bible that has confronted and destroyed them, but the secular Jews who refused to trust Him will be confronted with His power.

Ezekiel 39:7

7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
KJV
 

Another generation of Jews must learn a hard learned lesson. Again history must repeat itself! The hard hearted secular Jews of Israel are heading for as great a disaster as has their fathers in their rebellions against the God of the Bible. The lesson of Ezekiel 38 & 39 will not be just for the heathen.

Ezekiel 39:23-25

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
KJV

Friend, the God of the Bible is not going to lose this battle over the Holy Land. The hard hearted Jews will repent, and be redeemed. The hard hearted heathen will refuse to repent and will be destroyed. What will be your fate? Only Christ has given men a safe place to go. Only He can Redeem the lost and save the sinner. Come to Him today. The tomorrows are getting scarce.

Peres, Shteinitz Agree: Assad Must Go
14:39 Oct 21, '05 / 18 Tishrei 5766
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
 

Labor and Likud party ministers said Bashar Assad cannot remain as Syrian president following a U.N. report implicating Assad's regime in the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Vice Premier Shimon Peres, leader of the Labor party, and Yuval Shteinitz (Likud), chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said the Assad regime must change. Peres said that Israel should stay on the sidelines and let the United States and France take the lead in changing the Assad regime.

Arab MK Talab el-Sana accused the United States of planning the report as an excuse to involve itself in Syrian affairs. El-Sana is calling upon the Arab League to help Assad (pictured above) and oppose the findings of the U.N. report.

The report did not blame Assad for the murder but pointed out that the assassination was a result of cooperation by Assad's security officials. His brother-in-law, Assef Shawkat, forced one person to tape an announcement taking responsibility for the murder 15 days before the assassination, according to the United Nations report issued Thursday night.

Shteinitz said it is in Israel's interest that Assad be ousted. "I have a dispute with some of the people in the security establishment. It is not just an American interest but a clear Israeli interest to end the Assad dynasty and replace Bashar Assad," he said. Several security officials are concerned that Israel might suffer attacks from Hezbollah terrorists if it takes an active role in opposing Assad.

Former intelligence director Ephraim Halevy told Israel Radio he is sure that the assassination was an "extensive and coordinated operation that was planned for many months [and] many people from the Syrian elite were involved."

Terrorists killed Hariri and 20 others on February 14 in an explosive attack in Beirut. Syrian-backed Lebanese officials and Syria rejected the 53-page U.N. report, which Lebanese President Emile Lahoud said was a part of campaign directed against him. Two anti-Syrian members of the Lebanese parliament demanded Lahoud's resignation.

Hariri was a leader against Syrian domination of Lebanon. The report concluded that the plot to kill him took months of preparation. It presented evidence against four pro-Syrian Lebanese generals arrested and charged earlier in connection with Hariri's killing.

One witness told investigators that one of the four, Gen. Mustapha Hamdan, commander of the Republican Guard Brigade, accused Hariri of being pro-Israeli. "We are going to send him on a trip -- bye, bye Hariri," according to the U.N. report.

"The report is far from the truth. It was not professional and will not arrive at the truth but will be part of a deception and a great tension in this region," Syria's information minister, Mahdi Dakhl-Allah told Al Jazeera television.

American Ambassador John Bolton said that the Bush administration will decide in a few days how to react but already has "various contingencies." Sanctions are expected when the UN Security Council discusses the report on Tuesday.
 

It should be no surprise that Syria is now in the gun sights of the United States. It was clear to me that our Middle East involvement since the Gulf War was never going to be complete until we brought about the pacification of Syria. It is difficult to differentiate when the US is doing God's will, and when we are completely out of line. The Gulf War  was a God blessed miraculous success, but we pulled out without accomplishing what God intended our roll to be under Bush #1. It was Bush #2 who accomplished the total pacification of Iraq, and witnessed a similar miraculous victory. However, the job will not be finished until Syria also falls. I don't know if in those dark rooms of diplomatic intrigue the plan was hatched, or if God just laid it on the heart of Bush #2 to do the needful thing? I do know the Road Map which is totally a Bush blunder has  destroyed the Biblical relationship between the Jewish remnant, and the United States. The fall of Syria will do little to regain the loss that the adoption of the Road Map has produced in all this Godless anti-Biblical thinking. However, it is inevitable that Syria will be pacified. I expect no more miraculous victories for the US as long as we are forcing the Road Map on Israel. Hard won costly victories seems to be our roll from here on in the Middle East. 

The Jews always knew from the beginning of the modern nation of Israel that they could never make peace with Islam. Rather then trust God for their security the secular Jews dreamed of pacifying their Arab neighbors, and thus giving them a sufficient buffer from the rest of the Islamic world. This was the best peace plan that seemed practical in this modern world. Egypt is pacified, Jordan is pacified, Lebanon was pacified until the PLO and the Syrians upset the dream. Today, Lebanon is back into the pacified state leaving Syria as the only remaining Arab neighbor yet to submit to a recognized Jewish State in the Holy Land. The dream of the secular Jews, and the future of the Road Map all look at Syria as the last player in the Jewish dream.

The problem is that this is not the Biblical plan for peace in the Holy Land. The God of the Bible will never share His Holy Land with the made-up gods of men. There is no room for compromise when Biblical Holiness is the issue. Yes, a phony peace is coming to the Holy Land in the form of the gentile Road Map, but it is doomed to fail. The LORD Jesus Christ is coming again, and this entire generation will be mandated to bow down to His authority or perish. His eternal peace has a requirement of absolute righteousness that comes with His Holiness. This generation has chosen another road upon which it wants to travel. The road of compromise in the Holy Land with a heathen population that will never repent from serving their heathen god. It is God's only begotten Son who shall sit on the throne of that Holy Hill Zion that will make things right! The day is soon upon us when absolute Holiness will return to the planet, and all sin, all false religion, all rebellion against Biblical righteousness will be dashed to pieces! Only then will eternal peace be realized in the Holy Land, and beamed throughout the entire world.

Abbas says Palestinian state possible before Bush leaves office
(AFP)

22 October 2005

 

WASHINGTON - Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas said on Friday that an independent Palestinian state can be ready by the end of President George W. Bush’s term in January, 2009 -- although Bush now refuses to set a deadline.

Abbas also said in an interview with AFP that he had convinced Bush not to oppose the participation of the radical group Hamas in the Palestinian legislative election to be held in January.

Bush has pulled back from an aim he set a year ago to establish a Palestinian state by the end of his second term, but Abbas said an independent state was “realistic, if we work on it from now.”

Abbas said he did not believe Bush had intended to make his comments after their talks at the White House on Thursday.

“I had the impression that the comments of President Bush were not planned, that he had not set out to say what he did. We had no discussion about this topic,” the Palestinian Authority president told AFP.

“It was not a political position but a position expressed on the spot.”

Bush surprised observers with his comment at a press conference after the White House talks.

“I believe that two democratic states living side by side in peace is possible. I can’t tell you when it’s going to happen. It’s happening,” Bush said.

“If it happens before I get out of office, I’ll be there to witness the ceremony. And if doesn’t, we will work hard to lay that foundation so that the process becomes irreversible,” the US president added.

The “roadmap” to Middle East peace drawn up by the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations originally foresaw a Palestinian state by the end of 2004.

But as peace moves came to a halt Bush last year put back his deadline to the end of his second term.

Abbas said a Palestinian state should not take years to complete.

“I think if we start to work seriously, we will only need a few months or a year. It is important for us and the Israelis if they want a real peace,” he told AFP.

Abbas said there had to be an alternative negotiation channel between Israelis and Palestinians, similar to the secret talks that led to the Oslo peace accords and Palestinian autonomy in 1993.

“I proposed to the Americans the idea of a back channel for negotiations and I hope that they, and the Israelis, are going to accept it,” he said.

“I am totally convinced that if we work seriously with the Israelis nothing will stop the creation of a Palestinian state”  before 2009, said the Palestinian leader who is ending his second visit to Washington since his election victory in January.

Israel, he said, remained the main problem over the role of Hamas in Palestinian politics.

Hamas is on a US State Department list of terrorist groups, but Abbas said he had convinced the US administration to accept the participation of Hamas in the Palestinian elections.

“The Americans wanted to talk about the participation or non-participation of Hamas in the elections. We explained our point of view to them and I think they will accept it but it is the Israelis who are the problem,” Abbas said.

“It is one of the questions which has confronted me in all of my meetings, and the possibility of the non-participation of Hamas was raised,” he added.

There is nothing this generation should fear more then the Road Map for the Holy Land. It represents the utter contempt this generation has for the God of the Bible. Only the Holy Land is blessed with being the focal point of the Bible. It not only is intricately connected with the Bible past, but it is crucial to the fulfillment of the Bible future! The gentile Road Map is as Satanic a plan to stop Biblical prophecy just as King Herod attempted to murder the baby LORD Jesus before He could accomplish God's will for His incarnate life. The Road Map is meant to murder, if possible, the reconnection of the Jews with their Promised Land. Giving Islam a forever kingdom in the Holy Land accomplishes such a feat. The Holy Land can never be holy as long as the heathen are allowed to control vast amounts of it! It is not that the Christian world is powerless to stop this Islamic kingdom from being established, but on the contrary with the Bush White House adopting the Road Map from the anti-Bible Europeans and Russians he has insured this most blasphemous plan to stop the Second Coming of Christ to become a reality.

I'm not trying to be a Bush basher. I'm sure he is doing what he thinks is right. However, in this most critical area of understanding, and believing God for the future of the Holy Land he is wrong! There is a blindness in the Bush White House common to today's apostate Christian Church which refuses to acknowledge that the LORD Jesus Christ is coming again as He promised to us of this generation. There is a refusal to acknowledge that God has caused this Third miraculous Exodus of the Jews back to the Promised Land in this our generation so His Kingdom can be established. A perfect Jewish Kingdom ruled over by the only perfect Jewish King the world has ever known! Bible prophecy is clear the LORD Jesus Christ is going to come again to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount! The very places the gentile Road Map is designed to give away to the worst barbarian culture on the planet today. The reality of the Road Map will establish the Koran as the dominate book of the Holy Land usurping the Bible which dominated world thinking for the last 4,000 years about this one single holy place. The place of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The place where the LORD Jesus Christ was born, ministered, died, and was resurrected from the dead. The Koran says this is the Land of the Arabs not the Jews. The Koran says the Bible is a lie from Isaac, and Jacob to the present. The Koran is the book of Abraham, Ishmael, and Esau. It elevates the Arabs through Mohamed as God's chosen people. The Road Map is the Satanic plan to use the falsities of Islam to usurp the promises of the Bible for the future of the Holy Land, and this White House with the vast majority of Evangelical Christianity are doing everything within their power to see it accomplishes this dastardly deed. The year 2009 is the targeted date. The time of no return is now fixed for the Road Map.

Folk's, God is not going to put up with such abuse against His Word! The offer of the Kingdom is as clear to this generation of the Second Coming as it was to the generation of the First Coming. What is your reaction to the Road Map when compared to the Biblical promises of the soon coming Kingdom of Christ?

Matthew 3:2-3

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
 

Mark 1:15

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

IDF Kills Most Wanted Terrorist
16:05 Oct 24, '05 / 21 Tishrei 5766
By Hillel Fendel

The number-one most wanted terrorist in Judea and Samaria was killed Sunday night in a clash with IDF forces in Tul Karem, east of Netanya. Freed from prison last year, he was planning more attacks.
 

Two terrorists were killed in the battle, including Luis Saadi, who was responsible for killing 12 Israelis and wounding 150 others. Specifically, he directed the murderous attacks at the Stage Club in Tel Aviv in February of this year and outside the HaSharon Mall in Netanya three months ago.

A terrorist cell under the command of Saadi was preparing to carry out another attack during the next few days, IDF Ephraim Region Commander Col. Aharon Haliwa said Monday. "The killing of Saadi prevented a sad holiday week for Israel," Haliwa said.

Saadi was also responsible for smuggling terrorists to Jerusalem, as well as other attacks. He was originally arrested in 1999, but was freed from prison in January, 2004 when Israel exchanged 400 terrorists for the release of Elchanan Tenenbaum and three soldiers' bodies.

The battle began when an IDF force surrounded a house where Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding out. Terrorists in a passing car opened fire on the Israeli force injuring a soldier. The troops returned fire at the car and killed Maged Ashkar, another top Islamic Jihad terrorist.

One of the Arabs in the building tried to flee while opening fire at the IDF force. In the exchange of fire, one IDF officer was lightly wounded and the terrorist, later identified as Saadi, was eliminated.

An explosives vest, Kalachnikov rifle and a pistol were later found on Saadi's body.

The IDF imposed a closure on Tul Karem in the hours following the battle, but later left the area. Some 30 terrorists were arrested throughout Judea and Samaria during the night.

The Islamic Jihad terror organization appeared particularly angered by Saadi's killing, and its threats of revenge caused the IDF to increase its level of alert in the Gaza region. Additional forces have not been deployed, but it is feared that Sderot and environs will be targeted with mortar shells and Kassam rockets. Some Jihad spokesmen even promised a "series of attacks."

Col. Haliwa said that the IDF has been operating against the terrorist infrastructures in Tul Karem for several months: "This is the most complex terror group in all of Shomron, with more Israeli blood on its hands than any other."
 

Here is the most realistic picture of the Road Map peace plan in full operation. Continual attacks by terrorists supported by the Palestinian Arabs while Israel tries to stay one step ahead of them. Every intrusion into Arab Territory by the IDF will bring howls of venomous rhetoric from the international community as the Jews try to survive in the Holy Land. The terrorists really don't care if they are lighting an un-winnable war. They purposely target the youth of Israel because they know this causes the most pain to the Jews individually. The Arabs are only interested in inflicting pain. As long as they can torture Jews they will continue their barbarian behavior. Peace is a concept that has no meaning to them whatsoever. Their lust for Jewish blood will never be satisfied. In the midst of all this carnage the Washington spin will be peace has come to the Holy Land through the Road Map. A phony peace predicted in the Bible just before the three pronged "Last Jihad" Islamic invasion of Israel takes place.

Every day as I watch the news coming out of Israel I'm more convinced then ever that the stage is being set for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39. The "Last Jihad" invasion still awaiting realization. The prophecy starts in Ezekiel 35 where God expresses His anger with the seed of Esau half-father of today's Arabs along with Ishmael. Mount Seir and Edom are the same people referenced in the Bible as the seed of the modern Arabs.

EDOM

Idumea = "red." Esau's surname, the firstborn of Isaac; Jacob's twin brother, who sold his birthright for the red pottage (of yellow brown lentils,
(from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft)

Ezekiel 35:7-15

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
KJV
 

The anger God expressed for this earlier generation of paleo-Arabs is just as vibrant today against the Palestinian Arabs who again take advantage of every opportunity to cause the Jews to suffer. The change coming (redemption) to the Jewish hearts will not take place until these modern day Edomites are clearly judged by God. His purpose is to "make Himself known" to both the Jews, and the heathen gentiles. It will be some day after the rapture of "born again Christians" when men will wonder after God for there will be no testimony available anymore.

Ezekiel 36 & 37 is all about the Second and Third miraculous Exoduses of Jews back to the Promised Land. God has brought the dry bones of Israel back to life. The People, the Land, and the Nation are alive once again in our generation!

Ezekiel 38 & 39 is the great event used by God to reveal Himself to the post rapture world of the Great Tribulation. The elimination of all Islamic influence over the Holy Land is recorded in Ezekiel 39. The prophecy is clear that the intent of God by destroying the invaders is so the Jews and the heathen gentiles will know who God is! To the Jews He will be their redeemer, but to the heathen who reject His salvation He will be their doom!

Ezekiel 38:16

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
KJV

Ezekiel 38:23

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
KJV

Ezekiel 39:6

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
KJV

Ezekiel 39:7

7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
KJV

Ezekiel 39:22-23

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
KJV

Ezekiel 39:28-29

28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which cause them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
KJV
 

Ezekiel warns Israel just before this "Last Jihad" takes place to be on their guard, but the phony gentile Road Map will have lulled them into a false sense of security. The Satanic purpose of the Road Map is to lull the Jews to take rest. Ezekiel says the Jews will be living in unwalled cities thinking they dwell in safety. Then it will be that Islam will invade.

The Road Map is no surprise to the God of the Bible. The stage is being prepared for the last scène of the latter years. Are you ready?

Islamists blast coordination with Israel   

Big News Network.com     Monday 24th October, 2005  (UPI)  

Jordan's Islamist legislators blasted the government for coordinating with Israel to combat a possible spread of bird flu.

Legislator Ali Abu Sukar said Monday, The meetings between Jordanian and Israeli officials over the bird flu risks are acts of normalization which are not justified.

The danger for Jordan comes from the Zionist enemy which cannot be trusted and is known to have passed diseases and catastrophes to others, Abu Sukar said.

Technical teams from Jordan and Israel met at the border on Sunday to discuss coordination of efforts in confronting the virus, including stepping up controls on the entry of live and slaughtered birds and monitoring possible human cases.

Abu Sukar blasted the government for not coordinating with neighboring Arab countries which he said should be given priority over Israel.

5 Dead and 20 Wounded in Hadera Bombing
17:39 Oct 26, '05 / 23 Tishrei 5766

 

(IsraelNN.com) Magen David Adom spokesman Yerucham Mandola has confirmed that a fifth victim has died after a suicide bombing destroyed much of the Hadera market just before 4:00 pm Wednesday afternoon.
The fifth victim died during surgery at Hillel Yaffeh Medical Center in Hadera. Four others were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police now say it is not clear whether the bomber was male or female.

When the Arabs who technically have good relations with the Jews can't stomach getting together in solving a simple thing like the bird flu protocols to avoid an epidemic, how can there be confidence that the Road Map will work by 2009 with the Palestinian Arab Islamic's? Already the Arab terrorists have said this latest bombing should be considered Israel's fault for eliminating the chief terrorist on the West Bank who was planning another attack. The Arabs are already saying the withdrawal was nothing more then a Zionist trick. What can Israel ever do short of leaving the Holy Land to appease Arabic / Islamic hate? Were the Jews ever to seriously contemplate such an appeasement, they would bring down the wrath of God even more so then the generation that perished in the wilderness.

Exodus 32:7-10

7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
KJV
 

The Bible tells us that God did not forsake Israel in all their sin just as He never forsook the Christian Church with even greater sins of compromise. The forty years of wandering in the wilderness was how long it took for one generation to die off, and another more worthy to take their place. The secular founders of the State of Israel are almost all died off now, and a second generation of youth soon to be their replacements are protesting the secular decisions being made. The orange rebellion is more a youth movement then just conservatism verses liberalism. I believe this next generation is waiting for some direct leadership sent from God. They are dissatisfied with the failed attempt to meld Biblical Judaism with a secular government. I believe God is going to send that leadership which is so desired through two Old Testament type prophets as revealed in Revelation chapter 11. I believe they will lead this generation of Jews in the building of the Last Holy Jewish Temple to be built on the Temple Mount. The utter destruction of Islamic influence over the Holy Land as revealed in Ezekiel 39 will open the door for such a task to be accomplished!

Folks, the time is getting short! Are you ready? You must be "Born Again" through the Biblical Christ who is coming again to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount!

Iran´s President Calls for Destruction of Israel and the West
21:48 Oct 26, '05 / 23 Tishrei 5766
By Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
 

Iran's president told attendees of a conference in Teheran on Wednesday that "Israel must be wiped off the map." Last week, Iran promoted anti-Semitic literature at a German book fair.

"The creation of the occupying regime in Jerusalem is a strong action by the ruling arrogant world order against the world of Islam. There continues a historic war between the [powers of] World Arrogance and the Islamic world, the roots of which go back hundreds of years," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared. "The Islamic nation will not allow its historic enemy to exist in its heartland."

Ahmadinejad was addressing a Teheran conference entitled "A World Without Zionism".

"I have no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] which has started in dear Palestine and which we witness today all over the Islamic world will soon wipe this scourge of shame from the Islamic world. This is doable," Ahmadinejad encouraged the audience, which included thousands of Islamic students, as well as representatives of Arab terrorist organizations and their supporters. He noted his belief that the turn towards Islamism in the Palestinian Authority has brought the Arabs success against Israel.

Western Civilization, the Iranian leader said, "turned the Zionist regime occupying Jerusalem into a staging-ground to dominate the Islamic world. ...They have created a base, from where they can expand their rule over the entire Islamic world; it has no other purpose other than this."

The goal of a world without the United States or Zionism, Ahmadinejad said, is "attainable and could definitely be realized. ...Our dear Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] ordered that the occupying regime in Jerusalem be wiped off the face of the earth. This was a very wise statement."

Compromise over the elimination of Israel, the Iranian president said, is tantamount to the defeat of the Islamic world, as "the central and command base of the enemy... is the occupying regime in Jerusalem." Ahmadinejad characterized the unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria as a "trick" intended to seduce Islamic leaders to recognize Israel.

In reaction to the Iranian premier's statements, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Gillerman was told by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to demand Iran's removal from the world body.

In Iran, this Friday - the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan - is Jerusalem Day, as per the late Ayatollah Khomeini's designation. Demonstrations against Israel and America are a feature of the day's events.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the West in Europe, Iran promoted Western-style anti-Semitism at its pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair last week. Among the books on display were The czarist anti-Semitic propaganda tract The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Henry Ford's The International Jew and Tale of the "Chosen People" by an Iranian author. The publishing event, which ended Sunday, attracted more than 250,000 people this year. The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) confirmed that all books on display in Frankfurt were selected with government oversight. No action was taken against the Iranian delegation by German officials, even though German law prohibits the sale of some of the books displayed in the Iranian pavilion.
 

Iran is marked for doom in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Persia is the Eastern prong of the coming 3 pronged Islamic invasion of Israel. The Persian Kingdom had a name change to Iran when the Islamic Arabs took control of the government. Ezekiel in his prophecy of this latter day event uses the oldest names found in the Bible to describe the nations involved. The Northern prong is the Gog, or more precisely the "chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" who is literally the prince of Russia.

Ezekiel 38:2-7

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
KJV

The Hebrew word for chief "rosh" is the same word used in modern Hebrew for Russia. The prince of Russia is a valid translation of "chief prince." The Islamic hordes North of the Caucasus Mountains in places like Chechnya which were once part of the old USSR are now poised for invasion. The doorway to Israel lies between the Caspian and Black Seas over the Caucasus Mountains where one of the highest peaks is Mt. Ararat the landing place of Noah's Ark.  Ezekiel goes back to this time to identify the latter year invaders of Israel. I'm convinced the "chief prince" is the Islamic hordes North of the Caucasus Mountains! The land of Magog is the land settled by Noah's kin who went North. The Gog are primarily the Russians who dominate this land of the North. Meshech and Tubal refers to the twin capital cities of Russia - Moscow and Tubalsk. Gomer settled around the Black Sea, and that is solidly Islamic territory today.. Togarmah are today the Islamic Turks who join the Islamic hordes of the "chief prince" as they cross the Caucasus into Turkish territory.

The Southern prong is Ethiopia and Libya. This today will be all those Moslems committing, and supporting all the barbaric acts coming out of North Africa as Islam expands Southward with the sword.

The Eastern prong is simply identified as Persia. Modern day Iran now speaking out so boldly against Israel. Jerusalem has become their focal point of where the retribution of Islam will take place! It should be no surprise that Islam is about to stumble to their doom over the coming King of Glory. The LORD of hosts has claimed Jerusalem for Himself. A side of the LORD Jesus Christ is about to be revealed to planet earth. The King of Glory in all His magnificent power is going to sit on the throne of the Last Holy Jewish Temple (Ezekiel's Temple) to be built on the Temple Mount.

Ezekiel 43:7

7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne , and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
KJV
 

Friend are you ready? Have you come to the Biblical Christ of the Bible who controls the future. Only He has the power to save the lost from their sin. He can be a sanctuary or a stone of stumbling. It is up to you to chose how Christ will effect your immortal soul. Do not reject His offer of salvation! He is coming again to the house of Jacob. He is coming to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount!!

160,000 Turnout for Ramadan Friday Prayers
13:28 Oct 28, '05 / 25 Tishrei 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Police report 160,000 Muslim worshippers have turned out on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount for Friday Ramadan prayers. A large police force is on hand on the Mount, in the Old City and the surrounding areas.
 

The Temple Mount remains the center of contention between the Jews and the Arabs. This one single place on earth will see that contention expand to the entire gentile world in contention with the God of the Bible. Yesterday I commented on the coming Islamic invasion of Israel. Ezekiel 39 explains how this contention between the Jews and the Islamic Arabs over the Temple Mount  ends! My personal speculation is that Ezekiel 39 takes place at the very beginning of the Great Tribulation after the rapture of "Born Again" Christians from the Apostate whore of today's Christianity. I'm convinced the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 lead the newly redeemed Jewish remnant into the building, and the establishing of kosher worship in Ezekiel's Temple (Ezek 40 - 48) on the Temple Mount. This single structure built in the first 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation drives the entire gentile world into contention with God's plan for peace in the Holy Land. The contention over this single site will result in the final battle of Armageddon at the end of the Great Tribulation. The end of gentile rule over the planet. The greatest victory of God over fallen mankind since the flood of Noah.

The bottom line of the Road Map is giving the sovereignty of the Temple Mount to the Islamic Palestinian Arabs. It is no secret that the Gaza withdrawal was only the beginning. Next will be Samaria and Judah. With Judah will go most of Jerusalem, and with most of Jerusalem will go the Temple Mount. The architects of the Road Map know the liberal secular majority of Jews living in Israel are not oriented to believing the Bible. The only value the Temple Mount has for them is it's tradability to the Arabs. Most Jews see the Mount as a hot potato with no value at all. They will as easily give it away as they have the Gaza. It is only a small remnant of Jews who recognize a significant spiritual value in the Mount. They have successfully been vilified before the world as right wing fanatics who would destroy the State to get their way.

Only Ezekiel 39 can end Islamic influence over the Holy Land. Only then can Ezekiel's Temple be built. Only then can a remnant of Jews establish kosher holy worship within this coming Temple. They will need prophets who under the direct revelation from God can lead them into this holy endeavor. Revelation 11 predicts just such men who will be raised up by God to perform such an awesome task.

Revelation 11:1
11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
KJV

Revelation 11:5-7

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
KJV
 

What power on earth could stop these Two Witnesses if their testimony was to build Ezekiel's Temple on the Temple Mount, and establish acceptable holy / perfect worship as the God of the Bible demands? They would have 3 1/2 years to finish their testimony with 144,000 called out Jews as their work force. The Bible is clear at the half way point of the Great Tribulation when the time of Jacob's Trouble begins the antichrist will sit on the throne within that Temple usurping the coming again Christ during the last half of the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 11:3

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
KJV
 

The time is short. Events are unfolding in the Holy Land exactly as the Bible predicts. The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of all God is doing during this our generation. The destruction of Islam will do little to instill the fear of the LORD among the masses. It will only be a small remnant that will respond. Friend, I only pray you are willing to stand against the skeptical crowds. A Biblical dispensation is coming to a close, and the King of Glory is about to bring His Kingdom to the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount!

Moslems Bash Israel on "Jerusalem Day"
13:41 Oct 28, '05 / 25 Tishrei 5766
By Hillel Fendel
 

Tens of thousands of Moslems in Iran and all over the Arab world are celebrating Jerusalem Day - a reminder of what the late Ayatollah Khomeini called "the danger posed by usurper Israel."

Tens of thousands of Moslems in cities throughout Iran were heard chanting "Death to Israel!" and "Death to America!"

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, meeting with ambassadors from Islamic countries on Thursday, told them that Iranians would show their indignation against Israel in the demonstrations to be held throughout the country today (Friday).

Similar anti-Israel events were also to be held in Bahrain, Lebanon, and in many other countries.

The annual event was initiated by the infamous Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran's late spiritual leader, as a show of solidarity with the Palestinian Arab struggle against Israel. In 1979, ten years before his death, Khomeini announced, "I have been notifying the Muslims of the danger posed by the usurper Israel. I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters... and, through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims worldwide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people."

Khomeini, father of the Islamic revolution in Iran, designated the last Friday of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan as the date of the commemorations.

In Bahrain, the demonstration was also to highlight objections to any normalization with Israel. Participants were to sign a petition to reject Bahrain's lifting of the boycott against Israeli goods, said one local official, adding, "The people refuse any kind of normalization or compromise at the expense of the rights of the Muslim and Arab world."

The anti-Israel events in Iran come just days after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be wiped off the map. Foreign Minister Mottaki reiterated the sentiments in his meeting with the ambassadors, saying that Iran would never recognize Israel, and that the "Zionist regime, which prospers by banishing the right owners of the land, is not legitimate."

Western leaders sharply attacked Iran for its threats against Israel. British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, "If they [Iran] continue down this path, then people are going to believe that they are a real threat to our world security and stability."

In response, the Iranian Embassy in Moscow announced that "Mr. [President] Ahmadinejad did not have any intention to speak up in such sharp terms and enter into a conflict."

Bill Samii, regional analysis coordinator with RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty Online and editor of the "RFE/RL Iran Report," wrote on Thursday that Jerusalem Day has been celebrated faithfully in countries with sizable Shi'a Muslim minorities. "It has become a ritualized outpouring of hatred directed at Israel," Samii continued. "If this hatred was restricted to an annual rally, it could be dismissed as a meaningless display. However, because of Iran's alleged support for terrorist organizations and suspicions that it is developing nuclear weapons, many in the international community are concerned."

Just last week, in his sermon at Friday prayers in Tehran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Jerusalem Day is especially important this year, partially because of the "conspiracy instigated by the Americans, the Zionists, and some of their allies" leading some Islamic states to normalize their relations with Israel.
 

It should be clear Iran, and most of the Islamic world care less what the international community may say about their hate for the Jews. They are beyond repentance. They have made up their minds, and nothing is going to change them. They will forever hate the Jews, and target Israel for total destruction. The secular Jewish government for their part only want their Islamic neighbors pacified, and they think with them as a buffer they need not fear the rest of Islam. It may sound good to the secular world, but it is not the plan the God of the Bible has for the future of the Holy Land.

All of Jerusalem must be Jewish. The heathen Moslems that refuse to repent, and will never submit to a Jewish King must be removed! The Last Holy Jewish Temple (Ezek 40 - 48) must be built on the Temple Mount which must be cleansed of all heathen shrines. Acceptable Holy worship must be established in accordance with Biblical perfection. This is what the God of the Bible says He will do! This is what this Third miraculous Exodus of the Jews back to their Promised Land is all about!

All it will take is a small remnant of Jews to repent, and cry out to their Messiah for relief. I suspect this will not happen until after the rapture of born again Christians out of the Great Apostate Whore of today's Christianity. The Church Age must end before the Kingdom Age can begin.

The first two Jews of the next dispensation who repent, and are redeemed can be found in Revelation chapter 11. The Book of Revelation also reveals the faithful remnant who will be the foundation of the coming Jewish Kingdom.

Revelation 7:4

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
KJV

Revelation 14:1
14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
KJV

Revelation 14:3-5

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
KJV
 

The Two Jewish Witnesses provide the leadership, and the 144,000 Jewish single men provide the skills that will be needed to build Ezekiel's Temple. God will provide what is needed through this foundation to establish perfect Biblical Worship in the finished Temple. Worship that will be acceptable to Him. Sacrifice at the Altar as commanded in the Book of Leviticus will be done in remembrance of Calvary in this Temple. All other Temples looked forward to the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary. This Temple will look back! The Bible tells us the antichrist will murder the Two Jewish Witnesses 3 1/2 years into the Great Tribulation, and will usurp the throne of Christ that will be placed in this last Jewish Temple. Faithful Jews will be forced to abandon Jerusalem, and flee into the wilderness where God will provide for them during the time of Jacob's Trouble. It will only last until the Second Coming of Christ takes place at Armageddon which ends the 7 year Great Tribulation.  The perfect King of the Jews will then claim His Kingdom! The times of gentile rule over planet earth will end as the stone cut without hands crushes the great idol of gentile rule.

Daniel 2:35

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
KJV
 

There is no place for the heathen Moslems in this plan. I suspect when these foundational Jews pray in repentance to their Messiah that it will bring about the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39. A prophecy yet to find fulfillment in history. Islamic influence over the Holy Land will be crushed at the beginning of the Great Tribulation opening the door for the building of Ezekiel's Temple. Armageddon will crush the rule of gentiles over the planet at the end. The man, the incarnate Christ, who had nailed above His head at Calvary "King of the Jews" will accept His Kingdom. The earth will have been judged, and purged of all the heathen who sought to devour Jacob!

Friend, where do you stand? Do you think like the Islamic hordes that Israel is a usurper? Do you want the Pope, or some form of Apostate Christianity to take control of Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount rather then the Jews? Is the thought of a Jewish King more  then you can stomach? Does the thought of a Biblical Jewish Kingdom filling the whole earth repugnant? Maybe you should examine which christ you are trusting for your salvation? The false christs permeate this generation of Apostasy. Woe to all who would usurp the coming King of the Jews!
