ISRAEL TURNS SIGHTS ON SYRIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

US, FRANCE TELL SYRIA TO GET OUT OF LEBANON

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

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

By News Agencies and Haaretz Service

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jeremiah 32:35

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

For possibly the first time in over 1,930 years, a Jewish wedding ceremony of sorts was held on the Temple Mount this afternoon. The groom, from a Jewish town in eastern Judea, placed a ring on his young bride's finger in front of a group of friends, and then recited the traditional blessing on the wine. Muslim Waqf officials, usually very vehement about not allowing Jewish prayers to be said at the site, sufficed with a weak protest. The couple's friends accompanied the new family with singing and dancing.

An aura of mystery surrounded the event. Students at the groom's yeshiva refused to answer questions about the ceremony - though it is known that a "follow-up" real wedding ceremony will be held this evening.

It is known that in the times of King Solomon, there was a gate called the Grooms' Gate - but this was a place for grooms to come and receive a blessing before or after their wedding. More recently, Noam and Elisheva Federman of Hevron were married just outside the Temple Mount, at the Mughrabim Gate entrance.
 

"Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD." Yes, for the first time in 1930 years Jews have come to the site of the tabernacle of God with a sacrifice of joy singing praises unto the LORD. A young Jewish couple came to the site of the Temple of God with joy in their hearts. All this happened in the midst of the most hate filled culture on the planet. Suicide bombers would have greeted them had the Arab Palestinians culture known of this event. Yet, in the middle of all this hate for the Jews this couple managed to find joy! They fearlessly defied the enemies of God with an example that should stir the hearts of the Jewish people.

Christians should look hard at what God is doing in the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. It is not the Jewish government that is seeing the light of the LORD, but Independent Fundamental Jewish hearts. It is not organized religion, but individuals standing by themselves saying "whom shall I fear" when I am set up on a rock. Especially when that rock is the one upon which the God of the Bible said to Solomon on this rock "build my house!"

David said there was one thing he desired of the LORD. That thing was to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of his life. He explained his desire was to contemplate forever the beauty of the only perfect God of glory, and to have the privilege to inquire of Him in His Temple. I have seen the beauty of Montana close up as a missionary, but those majestic mountains can never compare to seeing the glory of God. Imagine living in the presents of the creator God without a six day imposed restriction, and being able to freely communicate with Him forever. It is more then a man can imagine. It certainly was more then what David could hope for, yet the God of the Bible confirms unto David that he will be set upon the rock of all his hopes and dreams. It is not an hallucination of paradise, but the very Word of the living God.

David, as a redeemed Jew, will be able to dwell in all purity, righteousness, and holiness with the God of his fathers. They will be friends! There will be no sin to sever this wondrous relationship with the holy God of the Bible. A far different desire does David, and all the soon to be redeemed have of heavenly paradise then do the sexual perverts of Islam. The contrast is striking.

The Temple Mount represents all that is pure, and righteous, and holy to a people seeking redemption. The white wedding dress represents those same ideals being presented to the world as a statement of fact. A virgin coming to marriage having saved her virtue for this one man of her troth. This young Jewish couple for the first time in 1930 years have come with joy, and presented themselves at the site of God's house where purity, righteousness, and holiness once dwelt. Imagine the joy, and singing when the LORD returns to His Last House the Bible says will be built on that very same site. It will not be an Islamic house of prostitution. It will be the house of the LORD. It will be His tabernacle that will bring Biblical righteousness back to planet earth. The fear of purity will not be an issue when the redeemed come into the presents of the God of the Bible. They will all have been washed clean in the blood of the Lamb!

Revelation 7:13-15

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb .

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

IRAN RECRUITS NUCLEAR HUMAN SHILEDS

 Iran is seeking volunteers to act as a massive human shield around Iran's Russian-built nuclear reactor in case of an Israeli or US military strike, the AP reports. According to a spokesperson from the Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign, some 25,000 people have already signed up to the campaign to protect the Bushehr reactor in the south of the country.

U.S. official to visit Israel for talks on Iran's nuclear program

By Nathan Guttman and AP

U.S. Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton will arrive in Israel on Saturday for consultations on the state of Iran's nuclear program and on an upcoming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting

Bolton is scheduled to meet Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and other senior officials, as part of an effort to give priority to the Iranian nuclear issue at the upcoming meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

Bolton attended two days of meetings with senior disarmament officials from the Group of Eight industrial countries in Geneva.

Washington wants the backing of the G-8 for its attempts to have the UN watchdog agency declare Iran in violation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty because of its program of enriching uranium that the U.S. suspects is part of a nuclear weapons program.

Such a vote by the IAEA board at its three-day meeting in Vienna, Austria, starting Monday, could lead to UN Security Council sanctions.

The European allies have indicated they want to hold off such a vote until the next meeting in November so they can let diplomacy work.

Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem assess that no compromise will be reached by Security Council members, and that a decision will be delayed until the group's next meeting in November.

Iran insists it only is interested in nuclear power, which can be created with lower levels of enrichment than the levels necessary for nuclear weapons. Iran is hoping the matter of its nuclear program will not top the IAEA's agenda, and that it will be able to continue with plans to enrich uranium.

Bolton said the U.S. would use "persuasive arguments" over the weekend in hopes of winning European support for UN Security Council action to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

"There's no disagreement on our broad objective," Bolton said after two days of meetings with senior disarmament officials from the Group of Eight industrial countries.

The goal is "to ensure that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapons capability and that is an objective shared by all of the G-8 countries," Bolton told reporters.

He said the U.S. has been narrowing differences with Britain, France and Germany on the tactic of bringing the issue before the Security Council, which the United States hopes to precipitate next week in a vote of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"We have a ways to go," Bolton said. "We're going to keep our persuasive arguments running and we'll see what happens."

Bolton maintains that Iran "has concealed a large-scale, covert nuclear weapons program for over 18 years" but could avert any action by stopping suspect programs and opening up to inspection.

"If they have nothing to hide it's very easy to demonstrate," he said.

Russia has said it will continue to work with Iran on building its nuclear power program, but says it will ensure that its cooperation cannot contribute to a nuclear weapons program. Russia's position has been criticized by the United States.

 

The nuclear threat from Iran is the terrorist issue that must be given top priority once the elections are over. It should really be top priority today, but politics will give it a back seat until after November. I continue to watch for the phony, Godless, gentile peace that will be coming soon to Israel. I would not be surprised to see Sharon turn over all of Israel's nuclear weapons for a hand shake with the Iranians. I know Sharon has contemplated making the Middle East a nuclear free zone, and the end of this Iranian threat could just lead to such a peace treaty proposal.

[News Flash as I write: France, Germany, and Brittan have all agreed with the US that Iran must account for their nuclear program!]

Well, what a surprise! Folk's, don't be surprised if nuclear free zone for the Middle East becomes a front page news item. As long as I'm going out on a limb, don't be surprised if the separation security fence comes down! I say this because a literal interpretation of Ezekiel 38 & 39 would imply these events will take place. I doubt Islam would ever invade a nuclear armed Jewish State. I do not doubt Islam would lie about peace with the Jews. A nuclear free Middle East would change the power advantage to Islam. They do not have the technology, but they do have the numbers of animalistic barbarian invaders who would kill every last Jew in the Holy Land. They have raised this generation of hate for just that task. A generation of murderous liars looking for the opportunity to kill Jews.

Israel must first be lulled into believing that Islam will give them peace. It is when Israel is at rest, dwelling safely in un-walled cities, that the Bible says the hordes of Islam will launch a three pronged invasion aimed at the ethnic cleansing of all Jews from the Holy Land. The prey will be every man, woman, and child that is Jewish. I suspect the antichrist will be on the political scene as the Western world fails to do anything when the invasion takes place. Spain (Tarshish)  along with Sheba and Dedan of the non-Moslem African continent speaking for the merchant interests of the Europeans ask with implied non-committal "Art thou come to take a spoil?" "Hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey?" As if some other peaceful motivation might explain this Islamic invasion into the Holy Land.

Iran as old Persia is the Eastern prong of the Biblically predicted Islamic invasion of the Holy Land in the latter years! Folk's those latter years have come to this generation! A phony Godless peace guaranteed by the gentile Western world seems next on the countdown to the Last Jihad Islamic invasion into the Holy Land. The aftermath will put the antichrist into power as the King of the West. The fury of God will destroy all Islamic influence over the Holy Land as the invaders are eradicated on the mountains of Israel. The antichrist will be prepared to make a new Holy Land peace treaty with his personal signature after this demonstration of God's power. He will agree to the building of the Last Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount! It will be another phony peace given by the father of lies, but it will not fool the God of the Bible who is preparing the Holy Land for the return of the LORD Jesus Christ!

PM Sharon Attacks Right-Wing for Alleged "Civil War" Calls
12:25 Sep 12, '04 / 26 Elul 5764

The key is in the hands of the Prime Minister," said MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union). "If he refrains from trying to uproot Jewish communities, there won't be a threat of a civil war." Prime Minister Sharon, however, is on the offensive: " They won't scare me," he told his advisors, who "leaked" this to the media. "I won’t let them divide the nation... I call upon the [Yesha] residents to stop this thing."

This morning, at the start of the weekly Cabinet session, Sharon banged on the table and stridently declared, "We are witness to a grave campaign of incitement, with calls for a civil war. I view this with great gravity. ... I call upon the Defense Minister to employ all the necessary measures to stop the threats on IDF officers."

Sharon was referring to an incident that allegedly occurred two weeks ago in Gush Etzion in which a security officer who supervised the evacuation of an outpost in the Shomron was either threatened or otherwise made to feel unwelcome.

Nationalist camp leaders issued a public declaration two days ago in which they made no mention of a civil war. The declaration, signed by increasing numbers of public figures, states only, "We declare that the expulsion and uprooting are a national crime and a crime against humanity." It also calls upon all those involved in the "ethnic cleansing of the Jews from their homeland" not to take part in these acts, and upon the Government of Israel not to issue these "blatantly illegal orders that must not be given and must not be fulfilled," and to thus "prevent an irreversible split in the nation and the army."

Another point of contention between Sharon and the nationalist camp he so recently headed is a giant rally is planned for tonight in Jerusalem against the withdrawal. Some 100,000 people are expected to participate.

The rally will be preceded by a prayer rally at the Western Wall, beginning at 5:15 PM.

Sharon hinted his disapproval of the silence of some of the ministers in the fact of these efforts against Sharon's policies. "I expect the ministers to speak out on these issues," he said. Left unspoken was the fact that Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's father and brother, and Education Minister Limor Livnat's brother, are signed on the declaration.

Responses to Sharon's accusations against the right-wing and their alleged calls for a civil war were fast and furious. NRP leader MK Effie Eitam said, "Sharon knows that the leaders of the struggle against the disengagement are against violence, but he prefers to use false propaganda in order to push broad sectors of the nation into the corner."

MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said that if a civil war erupts, the responsibility will be on Sharon's shoulders: "If it happens, he will be remembered in Jewish history as the one who caused it."

MK Uri Ariel (National Union) warned Sharon "not to trample all the democratic ideals on his way to disengagement. The pain of the right-wing is a genuine one, their protest is legitimate, and Sharon's attitude towards it is shameful and provocative."

Civil War is a fact when Sharon puts his withdrawal plan into operation. Sharon is positioning himself so when the war breaks out it will be the Independent Fundamental Jewish Settlers who will be blamed. It is the Settlers who are being forced out of their homes by Sharon. It is the Settlers who legally moved into the Yesha since 1967. It is the Settlers who have had the Sharon government abandon them for political expedience. And now, Sharon is saying when the inevitable Civil War breaks out it will be the fault of the Settlers? Over 250,000 Independent Fundamental Jewish Settlers have established full functioning communities over the last 37 years in the Gaza, Samaria, and Judah. Many of these communities were expansions of Jewish settlements already there even before 1967. These are not tent cities, but suburbia communities with schools, hospitals, and  government offices. The politics have changed with the Bush administration backing of the gentile Road Map developed by Russia, the EU, and UN. It is the Jewish settlers who are being sacrificed for a gentile peace plan that can never work.

It always amazes me how the world takes the truth, and turns it into a lie! Sharon is successfully turning the Independent Fundamental Jewish Settler movement into the scourge of the earth. A people who can't even defend themselves with debate. Their very words of defense are now designated as "Civil War talk." Sharon would have their words of defense appear as words of defiance against the world body. The Road Map is a Godless gentile plan that defies the Biblical plan for the future of the Holy Land, and yet it is the Settlers who followed the Bible are now being persecuted for what they have done. It is a sad indictment on this generation that they can't identify the real enemy! I already know how this generation is going to respond the the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ. This generation will demand Christ be crucified again for His words of righteousness. This time Christ is not coming as the suffering Savior. This time He is coming as the King of Glory.

Woe to this generation. It does not seek after clean hands or a pure heart! It is a generation that shall not receive the blessing of righteousness and salvation. This generation is about to meet the LORD of glory, and will be found wanting. Friend, you must break from this crowd. You must stand against the tide of this generation! You must stand against this Great Apostate Whore about to be left behind. You must come to the seed of David whom David also was required to receive the blessing of salvation. Today, we know the name of King David's seed who has no beginning or end. He is the LORD Jesus Christ the King of Glory. The LORD of hosts. The God of the whole earth. The Savior of of all who will come! Won't you come right now?

 

Psalms 24
24:1 A Psalm of David.
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Bible reading and prayer mark those who rallied at Zion Square. These are not redeemed Jews. They themselves admit they are still seeking redemption, but who will God go to first when redemption comes to the Jews? To the secular politicians who leave God out of all decision making, or the Independent Fundamental Jewish Settlers who look to the Bible for their future?

Civil War, and a divided nation is what is happening in Jerusalem. God is on record that this time He will not tolerate a divided Kingdom. When redemption comes, all Jews will be required to come to the King of glory. Those who would divide the Kingdom on that day will find death the answer to their calls of dissent. The LORD Jesus Christ as the LORD of hosts will be mighty in battle on that day. The King of glory is coming with a righteous rod (scepter) of iron. His rule will not be challenged! It will be the day of the remnant not the masses. It will be the day of the individuals who come one by one for circumcised hearts, and not a day for the crowd.

It is Christ who will wave the banner of unification. It will be the ensign under which all nations must rally, or be destroyed. There will not be a secular Israel, and a spiritual Judah. There will be no carnal Ephraim, and spiritual Judah to envy and vex each other. God is going to give them all one heart, and they will all submit to one Head. He will be the King of glory. The mighty God. The everlasting Father. The prince of peace. He is coming again to sit on the throne of David in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount! He is coming to establish His kingdom that will have no end! That Kingdom is coming with judgment on all who would divide, and justice for all who will submit. The Bible says it will be the zeal of the LORD of hosts who will perform this.

Friend, this is what is happening in the Holy Land during this our generation. The redemption of the Jews is coming. Ariel Sharon can't stop it. Islam can't stop it. The entire gentile world can't stop it. A united Kingdom is coming just as the Bible promises. All who enter will be of a circumcised heart. All will be born again! The Jews will never be divided into two Kingdoms again.

 

Isaiah 11:12-13

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

42 For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Former Justice Minister Calls For Army to Abandon Jews in Gaza
18:10 Sep 14, '04 / 28 Elul 5764
 

The former Meretz official said that as far as he's concerned, Israel can withdraw its military forces from Gaza - and let the residents decide on their own if they want to remain there or not.

Former Justice Minister Amnon Rubenstein (Meretz) said today that as far as he's concerned, Israel can withdraw its military forces from Gaza - and let the residents decide on their own if they want to remain there or not.

Asked on Voice of Israel Radio today if he was in favor of a referendum on the disengagement issue, Rubenstein said that this would be a case of overkill: "To withdraw the IDF from Gaza, not only is a referendum not necessary, but it doesn't even require a Knesset vote. A Cabinet decision is sufficient."

Interviewer: "Yes, but we're talking not only about withdrawing the army, but about removing people from their homes."

Rubenstein: "Who said we have to forcibly remove the residents from their homes? It is sufficient just to pay them compensation, and to withdraw the army from Gaza, and that's it."

Interviewer: "What, we should just leave the residents there on their own?"

Rubenstein: "It's up to each individual to decide on his own if he wants to leave."

Interviewer: "--and they should just be left to fend with the Palestinians on their own?!"

Rubenstein (after a short pause): "I of course would advise all Israelis not to remain in areas that are under Arab control. I would advise every lover of democracy not to remain in such areas. But to use the army to force them out? I don't think this is necessary."

Rubenstein did say, however, that he sees nothing wrong with holding a referendum on the issue, "as long as it is decided by a regular majority. All these calls for a special majority are merely tricks designed to neutralize the Arab vote. This is not legitimate in my eyes." The interviewer did not ask why it is not legitimate to ensure that an issue of historic significance for the Jewish State is decided exclusively by Jews.

One side, the Settlers, pray and read the Bible at their rally. The other side, mostly liberal all secularized Jews, respond with venom, and a tortuous death sentence for every Independent Fundamental Jewish Settler. The hate for those who would strive for Biblical purity is enormous, and not limited to the Arabs. Do not mistake what this representative of the anti-settler Jews is saying. Put these Jewish Settler and their children in the cross-hairs of the terrorists because they are Biblically conservative. Let them die horrific deaths at the hands of Arafat because they have decided to follow the Bible rather then the politicians.

The whole world is becoming polarized, and that polarization is manifesting itself in the form of hate for the Bible. Even the most universally accepted portions like the ten commandments are subject to hate that goes far beyond normal discord. This hate drives those given over to total depravity to eradicate all Biblical righteousness from off the planet. The Church age is ending with the rapture, and soon only a remnant of Jews in Israel will remain standing for Biblical righteousness. Soon, the hate of the world will focus on these few holdouts who remain steadfast in prayer to the God of the Bible.

The light of righteousness shining in the darkness drives the totally depraved crowds into madness! It drives totally depraved Islamic terrorists to murder over 150 children with no remorse, and drives Jewish politicians to turn over the Settlers to such animals because they pray and quote the Bible!

Today, the politicians would have the world believe the Bible is evil! They would have us all believe that prayer to the God of the Bible is an exercise in pagan darkness not fit for a sophisticated society. These secularized politicians have taken the sweetness of salvation for the lost, and turned it into a bitter message that must be wiped off the planet.

The evil people have polluted the planet. Those who work out evil in their planning beds are now in control of Israeli politics. They have polluted the Holy Land. The prophet Micah has written all that needs be said to these evil men! The God of the Bible will eject them. This last Exodus is not for them! They will find no rest in this last return of the Jews to the Holy Land. Destruction for those who would do violence to the homes of the Settlers. Destruction to those who would oppress a man and his house! Destruction to those who would cast out woman and children from their pleasant houses, and in so doing take away the glory of the God of the Bible!

The end of these secularized politicians is fixed! Friend, the offer of salvation through the LORD Jesus Christ is still open for you. Won't you repent as a lost sinner, and come to Him for mercy? Won't you receive Christ today, and be the recipient of His grace? Won't you join the remnant that stands against the crowd? The remnant that has come to the light in an evil era. A remnant that reads the Bible, and prays?

 

Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year 5765, begins Wednesday evening, Sept. 15, and continues until Friday evening, Sep. 17, 2004.

POP: 6.8 MILLION, TOURISM UP 23%

 6.8 million people currently live in Israel, 5.5 million (81%) of them Jewish, according to a Central Bureau of Statistics census published on the eve of Rosh Hashana, accounting for 40% of the 13 million Jews worldwide.  Israel's population rose by 1.8% in the past year, the CBS said by more than 100,000 people. Furthermore 22,000 new immigrants arrived – half of them from the former Soviet Union.  Meanwhile tourism increased by 23 percent in 2003, a reversal of a slump that began with the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada four years ago this month. Most visitors came from the United States.

‘COLLABORATOR’ SHOT EN ROUTE TO RAMALLAH COURT

 Palestinian gunmen in Ramallah Tuesday shot and killed a local man suspected of tipping off Israel about the whereabouts of wanted terrorists and engaging in “immoral behavior,” The Jerusalem Post reports. Eyewitnesses said Rami Yaghmour was killed while Palestinian Authority policemen were escorting him to court to face charges of collaboration.

AL-QAEDA BOMBED TURKEY OVER ISRAEL TIES

 Harun Ilhan, a leader of a Turkish al-Qaeda cell responsible for truck bombings last November that left 61 people dead, warned in court Monday of more attacks if Turkey continues to support U.S. policies or diplomatic links with Israel. "Even if Osama dies, our jihad will continue," he told the court according to the AP.

ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS IN RUSSIA

Israel has sent intelligence officers to Russia and is hosting at least two senior Russian officers in Tel Aviv - quietly moving to upgrade anti-terror cooperation with Moscow in the wake of a series of devastating attacks in Russia, The Guardian reports, even as Russian President Vladimir Putin has moved to strengthen his iron grip on power.

A Palestinian State will operate just like the Palestinian Authority operates. The prescient is set that any Arab who turns in a wanted terrorist will be murdered. A peaceful neighbor for Israel is an impossibility with this Palestinian culture. It is about time this foolish Road Map be dropped, and another approach be sought to dampen the terror of the Palestinians. A people who can't manage themselves need to be managed by others. A police force, and court system that can protect the individual is a must! The Palestinians are incapable of such justice! There is no hope of going to Islam seeking  such justice because the whole system suffers from the same malady. The religious Mullah's have corrupted the entire religion with their teaching of hate for all infidels starting with the Jews first! The War is fully engaged. It is Islam against the world. The Jews remain the primary focus of all the hate that has been pumped into this present generation.

The Bible is clear where this generation of Islam is heading. The Russians despite all their bravado are going to compromise with the Islamic Terrorists North of the Caucasus Mountains. The Gog will release their "Chief Prince" better translated as the "Russian Prince" to invade Israel. I suspect in the end the Russian Gog will arm, and supply the hordes of Islam North of the Caucasus with all they need to leave their ancestral homelands in a massive invasion of Israel. It just might be promoted as some great pilgrimage to the Temple Mount by all of Islam? It may be that the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 decree the God of the Bible has mandated them to build His House on the Temple Mount. This great pilgrimage/invasion might be Islam's response? No matter what the Islamic hordes tell the world, the Bible says their motivation is to take a spoil and a prey! Their intent will be to take the Holy Land for themselves, and exterminate every Jew caught in their three pronged military pincer trap.

Turkey will join the Russian Prince as he flows over the Caucasus into Turkish territory. This great army will flood into Israel where they will meet-up with the Islamic hordes from North Africa now causing such turmoil in the Sudan. Libya is specifically mentioned as part of the Southern Prong that flows up into Israel cutting off any retreat from the Northern invaders. Old Persia, Iran,  closes the trap from the East pushing the Jews into a tight defensive circle with their back up against the Mediterranean Sea. It is a terrible scene, but the Bible says God comes to the aid of His children Israel as He did in days of old. A new relationship with the Jews will be available when the rapture of the Christian Church takes place. The LORD of hosts will be free to unleash His power on these Islamic invaders. The destruction of Islam will have one purpose. To free that generation of Jews to build the Last Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount!

Folks, today's news is pointing to a Biblical solution to world wide Islamic terrorism! It is not milk-toast, turn the other cheek, dialog. It is judgment fit to the crime against humanity. It is the utter destruction of all of Islam in the Middle East. Never again will Islam have a say in what will happen in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, or on the Temple Mount. Peace with terrorism is still not the answer because just as the Jews survived the Nazis only to face Islam, so also will the end of Islam bring on the greater gentile world with the same hate for the Jews. A Jewish Kingdom replacing the times of the gentiles is the big plan of the God of the Bible. All opposition will receive the same treatment as Islam is about to experience. The time of longsuffering is about to end. This world of mankind that put the LORD Jesus Christ on the cross is about to receive the long overdue judgment it fully deserves! The King of Glory is coming again!
