I can't help but notice that Aids is primarily the sickness of the homosexual. The San Francisco Gay community leads the way in what is happening to those who are so openly hostel to the God of the Bible. God has often used sickness to deal with those who hate Him. There are fruits of sin, and Aids clearly falls into that category. It is different from cancer, or heart attack in it's selectivity. Only the foolish can't see the hand of God being manifested in this plague as it was manifested in the past.

Deut 28:27
27The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
KJV

1 Sam 5:6-7
6But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.

7And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
KJV

1 Sam 5:9
9And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.

The Mufti´s Message of Hate

Jeff Jacoby
28 August 2001

Some might see the difference as civilized vs. uncivilized. Others might see this as the difference between those who follow Allah of the Koran, and those who follow the God of the Bible. I see it as the difference between those who are ruled by blind hate, and those who are following their destiny as laid out by the only omnipotent God. A lesson should be learned about justice, and the God of the Bible through these practical examples of attitude. The omnipotent God has already dictated that Islam will find it's demise on the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38 & 39). It will be justice in action by the God of the Bible as He deals with the blind hate of the Islamic world. We should well remember the lesson of today when justice is manifested by the God of the Bible.

Ezek 39:4
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.

Durban - The World's attitude toward Israel, and the God of the Bible!

ICEJ NEWS - 08/31/2001
UN PARLEY ON RACISM MAY END UP JUDENREIN
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan opened the controversial Durban conference on racism on Friday, receiving his longest and loudest applause for remarks critical of Israel, an omen of the gathering's festering antisemitic agenda that threatens to quickly drive away Jewish attendees and anyone else with their moral compass still intact.

Let all men be liars, God is true! God is just! God decides on the basis of His holiness who shall succeed, and who shall be punished. The world's opinion is of little consequence when God enters into the fray. Durban represents the majority of world opinion about Israel. The Palestinians have managed to manipulate world opinion because there is a universal hatred of the Jew today. The world does not like the fact that God has allowed Israel to return a second time to the promised land. The world does not like the fact that God has a plan which includes the Jew and Jesus Christ centered in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. It really does not matter what world opinion may be. God is omnipotent, and His plan will be the only plan that will become reality.

Deut 33:29
29Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

(07:55) Four bombs explode in capital city
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff

Terror has returned to the streets of Jerusalem as four bombs have exploded in the past twelve hours, three in the northern section of the capital city and one in the embattled Gilo neighborhood.

A car bomb exploded not long ago on Hahagana Street in the northern French Hill section of the city, close to the neighborhood's commercial center.

One woman was lightly wounded in the blast, reported The Jerusalem Post's Etgar Lefkovits.

Eyewitnesses report the car was completely demolished in the explosion and the remains went up in flames. ....

Another car bomb exploded minutes ago in southern Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood.

According to Israel Radio, the bomb exploded in a parking lot belonging to the city's Gihon utility company. Four or five employees were having breakfast in the adjacent office just prior to the explosion. When they were finished eating, they went outside to their vehicles. One man was reportedly already inside his truck when the bomb exploded.

Magen David Adom emergency medical teams are reporting three people lightly wounded in that blast, all of them Gihon employees.

Police sappers have found another bomb found in the vehicle and are now in the process of trying to neutralize the device.

An earlier bomb exploded around midnight on French Hill's Ha'etzel Street in the entrance to a residential apartment building.

Bomb squad members discovered the remains of a pipe bomb at the scene, reportedly designed to be detonated by cellular phone. The bomb was packed with nails and other types of shrapnel.

An additional bomb exploded last night in the Ma'alot Dafna section in the city's northern region, not far from French Hill.

One woman reportedly suffered from shock in that explosion.

The cry of Allah Akbar is rather subdued as these latest attempts at the indiscriminant murder of Jews is again frustrated.  It seems like Allah sleeps as his followers bent on proving his greatness are frustrated in their twisted hate filled attempts to uphold his honor. The God of the Bible is forcing Islam to accept His decision to give the Holy Land and Jerusalem to the Jews this second time of return. Their resistance meets more frustration then success.

Gen 27:41
41And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

"Holy Cows" Hindu's outdo Golden Calf!

"Gift of the Cow"

The Muslims have problems with more then just the Jew. How foolish to think that if the Jewish/Muslim problem were solved there would be harmony in the world? This world is a corrupt place on the road to self destruction. God must intervene because this world of sin is going to destroy itself. The prospects for peace among sinners is ridiculous. The Muslim theology tells its followers to die for the cause while murdering Jews is to reach paradise. It is a lie! The gift of the Hindu is holy cow urine? It also is a lie! The gift of the God of the Bible is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. That is truth! How sad this sinful world rejects Jesus Christ for murder and cow urine.  

John 4:10
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
KJV

Rom 6:23
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
KJV

Eph 2:8-10
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
KJV

Thursday - September 6, 2001

To most it is just rhetoric. To those who understand the Bible it is true, and expected. The hate for the Jew is directly linked to the God of the Bible's claim on them as His chosen people. It is a hate born out of jealousy. A large part of the Christian world is guilty of letting this jealousy fester. God is showing His favor for the Jew in our generation. They have returned to the Holy Land an unprecedented second time. They are today taking control of not only of the Holy Land, but most importantly the Holy City Jerusalem.  All future blessings associated with Jerusalem are not going to be Islamic, Catholic, or any other form of Christianity. All future blessings associated with Jerusalem can only be Jewish as the omnipotent God of the Bible turns the control of that Holy City into Jewish hands. The more the Jews take control of their Biblical destiny, the more jealousy raises it's vicious head among those of the world who find themselves excluded from those blessings.  The world could rejoice in the blessings and favor the Jews are finding today, but rather it only shows it's jealousy.

The God of the Bible promised a great restoration from the North. Only the most foolish can't see this prophecy is being fulfilled this very day! It is all part of the blessings God promised to the Jew. The greatest King of the Jews is soon to return to Jerusalem. His favor is already established. A Christ rejecting world will only grow in hostility against His choice of the chosen people.

Jer 23:1-8
23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
KJV

The Jews from Russia are the largest group from all the countries who have come to Israel in our day. They are those the LORD said here in Jeremiah that He brought up from the "north country!" I believe many of these Russian Jews will be saved during the 7 year Tribulation. Many may even be part of the 144,000 foundational Jews of Revelation 7 & 14. Two may even be the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11. 

 

It is Today!

Zech 12:6-10
6In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
KJV

Luke 9:29-31
29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
KJV

ICEJ SPECIAL NOTICE


Dear ICEJ NEWS subscribers:

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem has witnessed the UN
conference on racism in Durban become a showcase for rampant antisemitism.
We sense that this is a defining moment for Israel and the Jewish people, as
the world begins a new century still teeming with the same ruinous hatred of
Jews that so blighted mankind in the past century and beyond.
 

Friday - September 7, 2001

It may be some day the world will hold a conference, and all the delegates will vote God out! They may not like His definition of righteousness and sin. They might deem Him unfair in His singular evaluation of who will be condemned for all eternity, and who will be saved. They may not like His choice for who will be His chosen. It really would not matter what the delegates may vote.  God will act on His terms irregardless of what man may think is fair or unfair. God has chosen Israel to be blessed apart from all the other nations on earth. God has preserved them for this generation. It is this generation that has been favored with the promised second return to the Holy Land and the Holy City of Jerusalem.  Mankind needs to be humbled before the great God of the Bible. His power will enforce His decisions, and the world will find it's opinion is meaningless in the face of God's power.

Deut 7:6-10
6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

10And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
KJV

Another elaborate plan goes for nothing!

It is bad enough that one policeman was killed and twenty wounded, but the plan was to kill Jews in mass. It did not happen. The terrorists continue to be frustrated as their most elaborate plans go bad. It is obvious where God's favor is being manifested. The greatness of Allah of the Koran is more often then not proven a failure when compared to the God of the Bible who is manifesting His favor on the Jews in the Holy Land today. The Islamic world is being confronted with submissive acceptance of God's future plans for Israel. Resisting the God of the Bible is becoming the mockery of Islam as the world watches.

Prov 1:25-27
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
KJV

Prov 14:9
9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

If the Islamic Waqf did not have bad luck they would have no luck at all. In reality, it has nothing to do with luck, but rather being out of favor with God! Not long ago the Waqf accused Israel of undermining the Temple Mount with an archaeological dig along the Western (Jewish) Wall. Many gullible Arabs lost their lives in the rioting instigated by the Waqf. The Western Wall remains solid, and the Arab lives lost has become meaningless. Lately, the Waqf has been building a great Mosque under the Temple Mount in what is known as Solomon's Stables. Now, the Southern (Islamic) Wall is starting to collapse above their excavations for the new Mosque. The Waqf who can never do anything wrong because of their own pride do what all Islam seems to do when things go wrong - They put the blame on Israel, and the gullible faithful prepare to riot again. The world can only sit back in amassment as it witnesses the God of the Bible in action.  It seems the Waqf are doing more unintentionally to destroy the al-Aqsa Mosque, and clear the way for a Third Jewish Temple then any Israeli effort intentional or otherwise.

Isa 26:1-6
26:1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

5For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
KJV

Hollywood Christianity is Here!

The Lord Jesus Christ showed His contempt for those who used God to make their fortunes not once but twice when He cleansed the Temple. It was one of the first things He did at the beginning of His ministry, and one of the last things He did at the end of His ministry. It puts great emphases on the danger of using God for personal gain. The vast majority of God's servants work within what is considered poverty level here in America. Paul Couch makes a mockery of their sacrifices. I would not want to be in Paul Crouch's shoes when the time of accounting comes. He is the modern day money changer! It was only these type folks that the Bible records as having caused the Lord Jesus Christ to physically whip in holy anger. The Charismatic movement promotes this money changer attitude as acceptable. This style of Christianity will find only the whip at the end of the day. It is the wood, hay, and stubble that will never pass into eternity.

John 2:13-16
13And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
KJV

Matt 21:12-13
12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
KJV

"Invasion Israel" from the East

*****************************************

The Route to "Invasion Israel" from the East!

thr 079

 Syria-Iraq-Rahmati /ECO/\

Iran, Iraq, Syria to study ways to link railway networks  Damascus, Sept 8, IRNA -- Managing Director of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Railway Organization Mehdi Rahmati said here Saturday that Iran, Syria and Iraq will begin studies on implementation of project for linking their railways Works.

Rahmati told IRNA after a trilateral meeting with his Syrian and Iraqi counterparts in Aleppo, Syria on Saturday that the three sides had reached agreement in their meeting on joint study on the issue. He said the Syrian and Iraqi sides were insisting on speedy implementation of the project.  The official added that in the first phase, Iran's railway in the south will be connected to Iraqi nationwide railway through Hosseinieh station near Khorramshahr. Iraq, he said, had agreed at the meeting to the construction of a bridge on  rvand river to facilitate Iranian train services to Iraq.  Hence, he added, Iranian trains would be able to go on to Basra, Iraq, after passing Tanuma station, on their way to Baghdad. Rahmati said that once the route becomes operational, Iranian and  Iraqi railways would be connected to each other from a point west of  Iran and practically they will be linked through two border points. He said the participants to the trilateral meeting had also agreed on a joint venture project, that will be implemented by Syria and Iraq to build the 147-km Albo Kamal-Dir al-Zur road in Syria.

The "Last Jihad" is quickly coming. This is the Islamic invasion of Israel as recorded in Ezekiel 38 & 39. The Eastern part of the three pronged invasion is preparing. The route, the weapons, the deterrents are all coming into place. God says He will frustrate this planed invasion on the mountains of Israel. The "Last Jihad" will be the end of Islam, and open the door for the Two Witnesses of Revelation Chapter 11 to build the Third Jewish Temple as described in Ezekiel  40 - 48. It's all in the Bible as God prepares for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to a Jewish Jerusalem.

Ezek 38:4-7
4And 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:

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

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

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

Special Report!!!

Temple Mount Comes to America!

This world of sin, and especially America today is paying the price of what it will cost for Christ to establish His throne on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Let there be no mistake that the events of this horrendous day are directly linked to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem! God is shaking the world out of complacency. God is putting the focus of the world on the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount through these events! There is going to be a frightful cost that will dwarf this day as God forces His choice of King on this world of sin. 

My heart goes out to all the victims. The price is high! It will get even higher! The Lamb paid the price for sin - Now we (the world) pay the price of rejecting His sacrifice. He is coming again, but not to suffer and die again. He is coming as a conquering King who will trample all the rebellious under His feet. It is time to submit no matter the cost. It is time for righteousness to take back this world! There is a price for righteousness! It will only be paid when Christ rules from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as King of the Jews.

Nothing will stop the soon coming of Christ. The helpless babe of Bethlehem is now a Great King. His claim on the world has been bought with His own blood! No Jihad can stop Him!

Temple Mount in Congress
Bill Seeks to Halt Construction

Congress is considering a bill that would cut American aid to the Palestinian Authority until it stops construction on Jerusalem's Temple Mount—construction that critics charge has been destroying remains from the First and Second Temple periods.

The Temple Mount Preservation Act was introduced in July by Republican Eric Cantor, who represents the seventh district of Virginia. His bill would halt $200 million in aid to the Palestinians this year.

Construction atop the Temple Mount—the platform that once held the First and Second Temples and which today holds the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock—was begun in late 1999 by the Waqf, the Muslim religious council responsible for the mount, ostensibly to enlarge an emergency exit for an underground mosque in the southeast corner of the mount. Since then many truckloads of earth filled with ancient artifacts have been hauled off the mount and much of the southeast corner has been paved over. None of the work has been supervised by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), as required by Israeli law.

At a Capitol Hill press conference at which he introduced his bill, Cantor charged that Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestinian Authority, had barred Jews and Christians from the Temple Mount and was bent on erasing Jewish or Christian connections to the mount.

But Cantor's bill may be misdirected. Recent discussions held by BAR with top IAA officials and with members of the Committee for the Prevention of the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount, who have been harshly critical of what they see as the IAA's ineffectual response to the construction, made clear that the power to preserve antiquities on the mount lies not with Arafat but with Israel.

Both right- and left-wing governments in Israel have been loath to crack down on the construction for fear of sparking riots and of scuttling negotiations with the Palestinians. "Israeli law is not enforced on the Temple Mount," an IAA official confided.

The official also noted that the impetus behind the construction came not from Yasser Arafat nor even from Waqf officials, but from Raed Salah, the mayor of Umm el-Fahm, the second largest Arab city in Israel, and the leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel. Salah raised the funds for the work on the Temple Mount and brought in hundreds of volunteers to carry it out. Similarly, the decision to bar non-Muslims from the mount was made not by Arafat but by Israeli police out of concern for public safety in the wake of the Palestinian uprising that began in September 2000.

It was clear from discussions with IAA officials that they feel hamstrung. They are obligated by law to oversee the work on the Temple Mount, but they are barred from the mount by Israeli police. "Our role is to observe and to report, and the government has to decide what to do," another IAA official said. He added that the construction could easily have been stopped, but at a heavy cost in lives—50 Palestinian rioters and 10 Israeli policemen, in his estimate.

This IAA official added that the work on the Temple Mount had been slowed over the previous three months because the Israeli government was not allowing construction materials onto the mount. Archaeologist Eilat Mazar, a leading member of the Committee for the Prevention of the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount, countered that new construction materials were no longer needed. She produced a photo showing a truck that had dumped ancient stone blocks near a stone-cutting saw. On the other side of the photo were piles of smaller stone blocks, freshly cut from the old blocks.

Mazar also produced two aerial photos; the first was taken in November 1999, just before construction began, while the second was taken in June of this year. Much of the southeast corner of the Temple Mount has been greatly altered: Two arched doorways now lead to the underground mosque, while much of the area leading to the entrances has been cleared of trees and paved over.

The work on the Temple Mount seems to be nearing completion, but what will Israel's government do if construction begins in another area of the Temple Mount? Perhaps more important, can Israel reverse the perception that it has ceded control of the mount?—S.F.

A lot of Christians who understand the Bible, and know about the future glory coming to Israel wonder how the Jews can treat the Temple Mount with such complacency? It would seem to us that the compassion expressed for Jerusalem would be a thousand times greater for the Temple Mount? (Ps 137:6 "If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy".) We must remember that Israel is not saved yet. The love for the Temple Mount will not be realized until the Jews desire that their Messiah set up His throne on that most sacred place. The love will not come until the Jews look to Jesus as their coming High Priest and King. The omnipotent God of the Bible is steadily putting control over the Temple Mount in Jewish hands. It is all in preparation for the future glory of Israel that will be realized when their Messiah returns. Until then, the Temple Mount will only be as important as the politics of the day make it.

Ezek 43:6-7
6And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7And 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

Zech 13:6
6And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
KJV

Isa 53:5-10
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
KJV

Thursday - September 13, 2001

The jubilant cry from Gaza, Egypt and other Islamic nations that God is great (Allah Akbar) will come back to haunt them. The rejoicing will be short lived for all of Islam. I agree the Americans have forgotten God exists, but these events should bring the only God of the Bible back into prominence for this complacent Christian nation. This attack on America will either drive Christ back into the center of America's Christianity, or it will prove this complacency is really apostasy. God is not only going to judge Islam, but He is going to test the Christianity of this world - America in specific. The times are a changing! The Church dispensation is coming to an end, and the glory of Israel is being prepared. God is forcing the issue! There will be no sitting on the fence! The Last Jihad has taken a great leap forward. The apostate Christian Church is being exposed through the fire. The eyes of the world are now being forced to contemplate the future of the Temple Mount. This one place is now effecting every worldly citizen of every religion.

Are you ready?

Rev 6:15-17
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

More Jews die in NY then in Israel

Friday - September 14, 2001

Let's be honest about Islam's hate for the Jew!

Many voices in the Arab/Islamic world have already defended the attacks as a justified response to American
support for Israel.

As the US seeks to recover from this shocking event and to shape a proper response in concert with Western, democratic states and other allies, the Christian Embassy strongly urges that full attention be paid to the tenets and mentality of Islamic fundamentalism. This ascendant brand of Islam sees both Israel and the West as an evil enemy, and preaches that all Muslims
must return to the basics of their faith in order to win the favor of their god Allah, so they might defeat the Christian and Jewish [infidel] nations in jihad, or holy war.

Thus, any step or measure at this time in which the US appears to distance itself from its democratic ally Israel will be interpreted by Muslim extremists as an achievement in their terror campaign. Rendering Israel and Jerusalem more vulnerable will only encourage radical Muslims that their ambitions for world conquest are one step closer.

LONDON (Reuters) - An Afghan Taliban radio station, monitored by the BBC, said on Thursday the Taliban authorities had said they were ready to hand over Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) to an Islamic court if the United States could prove his guilt in the terror attacks on the U.S.

The British Broadcasting Corp said the report was picked up from Radio Voice of Shari'ah of Balkh Province, Mazar-e Sharif.

It quoted the radio as saying: ``The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (news - web sites) (IEA) has honestly asked America to give clear and substantial evidence for what it considers Osama to be responsible for, and the IEA will hand him over to one of the Islamic courts of the world in order to be tried.''

The Islamic court is like Arafat giving blood to the victims of the suicide bombers. Only the most gullible could believe such gestures as genuine. Islam laughs at the stupidity of fair play by it's enemies as Israel has so well learned. Now America must learn the same lessons.

The real news is that Islam from the North is now center in world events. The Gog of the North is being stirred by world events. This is where Ezekiel says in chapters 38 & 39 the Last Jihad will have it's beginning. Other nations such as Iraq from the East, and Libya from the South will join the Islamic Gog of the North in a three pronged invasion of Israel. I watch with anticipation as the Gog, the chief prince of old Russia, prepares for it's Biblical destiny.

Ezek 38:1-5
38:1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

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

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

4And 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:

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

The news folks have no training in the Bible. Let us make no mistake! It is the Islamic Gog of the North that has brought this day upon us! A day now acknowledged as more infamous then the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. The Bible says the Lord Jesus Christ is coming again! The Gog of the North has been prophesied almost 4000 years ago as the great resistor to the return of the Jewish King of Kings to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. It is God who will take vengeance on the hate that has produced this day of infamy. Their end is clear!

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.

5Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
KJV
 

The Christianity of America is now being put to the test! Will we really turn Christianity back to the Christ of the Bible, or will the apostasy of a secularized Christianity prevail? I watch the secularizing influence of the Charismatic Movement as the answer? I watch the rich Christians of America that say nothing about the Bill Clinton Southern Baptist style of phony Christianity prevalent today! It will be spewed from the mouth of God! I watch the phony Christianity on the television with it's contemporary style of music where the money changers have for the most part taken control! I watch with anticipation!

The time is close for the true Church of all truly born again believers to step aside for the future glory of Israel!  I'm ready to go! Are You?

1 Cor 15:51-57
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
KJV
 

 

(17:45) Palestinians rally for bin Laden

Hundreds of Palestinian members of Hamas demonstrated today in Gaza City, in Ramallah, and the Nuseirat refugee camp in Jericho, Israel Radio reported.

At the rallies in Gaza and Ramallah, demonstrators waved pictures of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. Palestinian policemen seized videotapes of the event taken by cameramen working for foreign networks and ordered them not to film any further.

"The Gog of the North"

Noah's Ark landed on Mt. Ararat one of the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains dividing old Russia and Turkey. A natural divide between the North and the East of two of the four quarters of this world as we know it. The Gog are associated with the North, and from the land of Magog as revealed in Ezekiel. 

Ezek 38:2
2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
KJV
 

Magog is first mentioned in the Bible as one of the grandsons of Noah who settled North of the Caucasus.  Look in the Bible maps section of your Bible where those early generations are listed as settling. These maps are based on the oldest records available to the scholars which record the expansion of the human races. See a map of the Genesis record.

Gen 10:1-2
10:1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
KJV

Magog appears only once in the Bible over the next 1000 years as Chronicles authenticates the Genesis record.

1 Chron 1:4-5
4Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

5The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
KJV

 

It is Ezekiel who again brings to memory Magog as he predicts a future invasion of Israel which has it's origins in the Northern land of Magog.

Ezek 38:2
2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

 

Ezek 39:1-5
39:1Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

2And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

3And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

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.

5Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
KJV
 

 

These people are a future generation called the Gog. Today, we know the Islamic part of the old USSR is fighting for independence. Already many of the adjoining states along the Caucasus boarder (the chief princes of old Russia) have declared their independence. The Gog are coming together in our generation as the Islamic part of old Russia. Afghanistan and the Taliban are taking the lead in a militant, Islamic, Fundamentalism that hates Israel and American support of Israel. A Jewish Jerusalem and Temple Mount is being opposed to the death by these fundamental Islamic's. A Jewish King of Kings sitting on a throne on the Temple Mount is center to all that has happened this past week. The Gog will never be still! The battle for the Temple Mount has begun.

The Gog appear again in the book of Revelation. At the end of the millennial reign of Christ as King of Kings. Another generation will repeat what the Islamic Gog of our generation are about to attempt. An invasion of Israel. They also will fail!

Rev 20:7-9
7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
KJV
 

Today, the Gog in the land of Magog of our generation are preparing for invasion. It will be the last Jihad of Islam. It will, open the door for the building of the Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. It will be a three pronged Islamic attack from the North, East, and South. Ezekiel recorded the events which are now ready to be fulfilled. The battle for the Temple Mount has come to America. The last Jihad and end of militant Islam recorded in Ezekiel 38 & 39 is now engaged!

Rosh Hashana - A New Year

Yom Kippur - A First Event

On eve of 5762, population reaches 6,458,000
By Tal Muscal

JERUSALEM (September 17) - On the eve of Rosh Hashana, the nation's population stands at 6.46 million, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported yesterday.

 

Deut 7:6-10
6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

10And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
KJV

I think it significant that the first event after the new year starts is the most holy day of the year - Yom Kippur - so that both feast days flow into one. This year may be the most significant since the establishment of the State of Israel. It opens with war being declared by America on Islamic terrorism. It begins with a militant Islamic Gog of the North challenging the world over a Jewish Jerusalem and Temple Mount.  In my estimation, the events setting the tone of this new year are significant to Ezekiel 38 & 39 (a prophecy yet to find fulfillment). I see in the Bible how the end of Islam can take place. A last Jihad must happen before a Third Jewish Temple built on the Temple Mount could ever be accomplished. Militant Islam must end before the Jewish Temple can be built! As this New Year begins, this year should be brought in with Yom Kippur holiness more then others. This year begins with the eyes of the world fixed on Jerusalem as never before. This year the glory of the house of David is taking a significant step forward!

The Conflict of Rosh Hashana

Zech 12:6-10
6In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
KJV

Taliban Bring Scud Missiles Near Pakistan Border

KHYBER PASS, Pakistan (Reuters) - Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s Taliban rulers have moved a large arsenal of weapons, including Russian Scud missiles, to positions near the border with Pakistan, a Pakistani army officer said Monday.

``We are already prepared, we are ready to defend the motherland,'' Captain Abid Bahtti told reporters, speaking at an army checkpoint just 2.5 km (one mile) from the border with Afghanistan. ``The Pakistan border is very secure.''

 

Khyber Pass, mountain pass in western Asia, the most important pass connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, controlled by Pakistan. The Khyber Pass winds northwest through the Safed Koh near Peshawar, Pakistan, for about 48 km (about 30 mi) to Kabul, Afghanistan, varying in width from 5 to 137 m (15 to 450 ft). The mountains on either side can be climbed only in a few places. The pass is walled by precipitous cliffs that vary in height from about 180 to 300 m (about 600 to 1000 ft). The pass reaches its highest elevation (1,072 m/3,517 ft) at the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. For centuries the Khyber Pass was used by invaders to enter India. During the Afghan Wars the pass was the scene of numerous skirmishes between Anglo-Indian soldiers and native Afghans. Particularly well known is the battle of January 1842, in which about 16,000 British and Indian troops were killed. The British constructed a road through the pass in 1879 and converted it into a highway during the 1920s. A railroad was also built here in the 1920s.

 

During the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashana, notice there are three distinct sounds:

1. Tekiah -- one long, straight blast    Hear the sound
2. Shevarim -- three medium, wailing sounds    Hear the sound
3. Teruah -- 9 quick blasts in short succession    Hear the sound

Let's examine each of these shofar sounds, and see how they relate to the different themes of Rosh Hashana.

Rosh Hashana is the day of appreciating who God is. We then internalize that understanding so that it becomes a living, practical part of our everyday reality. God is all-powerful. God is the Creator. God is the Sustainer. God is the Supervisor. In short, God is King of the Universe.

But for many of us, the idea of a "king" conjures up images of a greedy and power-hungry despot who wants to subjugate the masses for his selfish aims.

In Jewish tradition, a king is first and foremost a servant of the people. His only concern is that the people live in happiness and harmony. His decrees and laws are only for the good of the people, not for himself. (see Maimonides, Laws of Kings 2:6)

The object of Rosh Hashana is to crown God as our King. Tekiah -- the long, straight shofar blast -- is the sound of the King's coronation. In the Garden of Eden, Adam's first act was to proclaim God as King. And now, the shofar proclaims to ourselves and to the world: God is our King. We set our values straight and return to the reality of God as the One Who runs the world... guiding history, moving mountains, and caring for each and every human being individually and personally.

Maimonides adds one important qualification: It isn't enough that God is MY King alone. If ALL humanity doesn't recognize God as King, then there is something lacking in my own relationship with God. Part of my love for the Almighty is to help guide all people to an appreciation of Him. Of course this is largely an expression of my deep caring for others. But it also affects my own sense of God's all-encompassing Kingship.

THE SHEVARIM SOUND

When we think about the year gone by, we know deep down that we've failed to live up to our full potential. In the coming year, we yearn not to waste that opportunity ever again. The Kabbalists say that Shevarim -- three medium, wailing blasts -- is the sobbing cry of a Jewish heart -- yearning to connect, to grow, to achieve.

Every person has the ability to change and be great. This can be accomplished much faster than you ever dreamed of. The key is to pray from the bottom of your heart and ask God for the ability to become great. Don't let yourself be constrained by the past. You know you have enormous potential.

At the moment the shofar is blown, we cry out to God from the depths of our soul. This is the moment -- when our souls stand before the Almighty without any barriers -- that we can truly let go.

THE TERUAH SOUND

On Rosh Hashana, we need to wake up and be honest and objective about our lives: Who we are, where we've been, and which direction we're headed. The Teruah sound -- 9 quick blasts in short succession -- resembles an alarm clock, arousing us from our spiritual slumber. The shofar brings clarity, alertness, and focus.

The Talmud says: "When there's judgement from below, there's no need for judgement from above." What this means is that if we take the time to construct a sincere, realistic model of how we've fallen short in the past, and what we expect to change in the future, then God doesn't need to "wake us up" to what we already know.

God wants us to make an honest effort to maximize the gifts He gave us. You aren't expected to be anything you're not. But you can't hoodwink God, either.

The reason we lose touch and make mistakes is because we don't take the time everyday to reconnect with our deepest desires and essence. The solution is to spend time alone everyday, asking: Am I on track? Am I focused? Am I pursuing goals which will make the greatest overall difference in my life and in the world?

Make it a habit to keep in touch with yourself, and when Rosh Hashana comes around, the alarm clock of the shofar won't be nearly as jarring!

The trumpet call is even more significant this year as world events point to the soon return of the Jewish King of Kings. Let us all be focused on just what God is doing this year. Change is so clearly in the making! The end of the Church age, and the return of a soon coming Biblical Israel. The Jews have returned to the promised Land, and control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount is forefront to all nations and religions. It is not Rome! It is not Mecca! It is not the Ganges! It is a Jewish Jerusalem!

The trump sounding soon is the anticipation of every born again, Bible believing Christian. We are ready to step aside for the future glory of Israel! We step aside for the coming Jewish King of Kings! We step aside in shame for the Apostate Christianity that we leave behind is the greatest shame of the entire age. We must accept responsibility! We are not being raptured for our victory, but rather for our lukewarm ness.

There is still great joy in anticipating being with the LORD forevermore. I'm ready!!! Are You???

The Fast of Gedalia

What is the meaning of this fast, and why does it occur during the intermediate days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur?

THE STORY OF GEDALIA

After the destruction of the First Temple 2,500 years ago, the majority of the Jewish people were exiled to Babylon. The conqueror, Nebuchadnezzar, eventually eased some of his harsh restrictions and allowed some Jews to remain in the Land of Israel. He even appointed a righteous Jew named Gedalia to administrate the territory. Gradually, more Jews who'd escaped from the horrors of the war into neighboring countries began to return to their homes in Israel.

Gedalia was realistic about the limitations of Jewish sovereignty. He understood that for their own self-preservation, the Jews in Israel needed to fully cooperate with the nation who had conquered their land.

But this political subservience was intolerable to some Jews. A man named Yishmael ben Netaniah, spurred on by jealousy and foreign influence, arose and ignored the King of Babylon. On the third of Tishrei, Yishmael treacherously killed Gedalia as well as many other Jews and Babylonians.

ANSWER ON YOM KIPPUR

In the aftermath of Gedalia's murder, the Jews feared reprisal from the King of Babylon. They thought to flee to Egypt to save themselves. But since Egypt was a morally corrupt society, the Jews were in a quandary -- weighing the physical threat against the spiritual danger. So they turned to the prophet Jeremiah, who was secluded in mourning, to ask for advice.

For an entire week, Jeremiah pleaded with God for an answer. Finally, on Yom Kippur, he was answered. Jeremiah called the Jews and told them to stay in Israel and everything would be alright. God was planning to make the Babylonians act mercifully toward the Jews, and before long, all the exiled Jews would be permitted to return to their own soil. But, Jeremiah told them, if the Jews decided to go to Egypt, the sword from which they were running would kill them there.

Unfortunately, the prophet's words did not penetrate, and the people refused to believe. All the Jews remaining in Israel packed their bags and went down to Egypt. They even kidnapped Jeremiah and took him with them! Now the destruction was complete; the Land of Israel was completely barren.

You can guess what happened next. A few years later, Babylon conquered Egypt and tens of thousands of Jewish exiles were completely wiped out. The lone survivor of this massacre was Jeremiah. His prophecy had become painfully true.

The initial event -- the murder of Gedalia -- has been likened to the destruction of the Holy Temple, because it cost Jewish lives and brought the end of Jewish settlement in Israel for many years. The prophets therefore declared that the anniversary of this tragedy should be a day of fasting. This day is the third of Tishrei, the day immediately after Rosh Hashana.

The goat will bear upon itself all their iniquities ... (Leviticus 16:22)

One of the most perplexing topics that we encounter in the Torah concerns the "scapegoat" -- the goat that was offered on Yom Kippur carrying on its back all the sins of the Jewish people.

Maimonides tells us that the "scapegoat":

...brings atonement on all the sins in the Torah, whether they be light or grave, whether the transgression was committed unintentionally or with deliberation, whether the sin is known to the perpetrator or whether it is not... (Laws of Teshuva 1:2)

The Lord Jesus Christ is not only the soon returning High Priest, but He is also the Scapegoat who's blood makes atonement for sin to all willing to come to Him for forgiveness. Only the blood of Christ has such power to overcome the evil of sin. Only the blood of Christ has the power to appease the holiness of a pure and just God as revealed in the Bible.

Only the scapegoat represents a living sacrifice. Only Christ is that living sacrifice who shed His Blood for the atonement of sin.

Soon, another Jewish Temple will be built so Biblical Law can again be presented to the world. Soon, another Jewish High Priest (also a conquering King) will minister for the Jew first, and through them for the whole world in that Holy of Holies. Events of today make the Old Testament a most contemporary book!

Report: US soldiers near the Afghan border

For on this day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you; from all your sins before the Lord shall you be cleansed. (Leviticus 16:30)

A day of atonement and cleansing does not feel like a day of judgment. Yet we know that the final seal on a person's fate for the following year is stamped on Yom Kippur. It is the final day of the Days of Awe, which are all days of judgment. In what way does Yom Kippur differ from the rest? What is the meaning of this day of judgment, on which decisions regarding life and death are finalized, and which is considered a day of spiritual cleansing?

Nachmanides (Vayikra, 23,24) explains that the difference between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is that Rosh Hashana is a day of judgment that is tempered with mercy, whereas Yom Kippur is a day of mercy that is tempered with judgment.

The judgment of sin was laid on one. The singular God/man born of a virgin who demonstrated servanthood as mankind could never comprehend! The mercy of God has no greater expression then the blood shed on Calvary's Cross so lost sinners can be saved (the meaning of atonement). This world has for the most part rejected the greatest gift ever offered. God will not be mocked! The sacrificial lamb is coming again, but this time as the conquering King of the Jews. His throne has been determined to be placed in Jerusalem, in the Third Jewish Temple to be built on the Temple Mount (Ezekiel 40 - 48) by the Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11. All events of this coming year are going to be tied to this single event. God will not be mocked!
