Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement

2011-10-08T10:57:00.010-04:00

Today is the Biblical feast of Yom Kippur, the "Day of Atonement."

The Bible tells us that all human beings are born into a fallen human nature, and are by nature, sinners. No one escapes this, no matter how "good" that person is, "for ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

Sin separates us from God.

God so loved us that he sent his Son to take upon himself the judgment due on all our sins, reconciling to himself each one who places their faith in Christ and the atonement he accomplished so that we can be saved.
John 3:16

Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 Wars Compared

2011-09-22T14:07:00.012-04:00

As we get closer to the end, we more clearly understand the ancient prophecies of "the last days."

There are three great wars spoken of in "the last days." The final war is of course Armageddon in which the God of Israel brings into the great and final judgment all the nations who opposed Him in his restoration of the nation of Israel.

The other war is the great war of Ezekiel 38 in which God judges specific nations led by Russia (Magog) and Iran (Persia). It's astounding how the prophet Ezekiel, over 2,400 years ago was able to state which countries would be specifically allied against Israel "in the last days."

What has only been revealed in recent years, however, is that there is another war that will precede both of these. Bible scholars noticed that in the lineup of nations listed in the Ezekiel 38 war, none of Israel's immediate neighbors are listed. This is especially interesting in light of the fact that at the present, the violence being perpetrated against Israel is coming from those immediate neighbors, the so-called "Palestinians." If the chief trouble-makers of today are NOT listed in the great Ezekiel 38 war, "why not?" scholars have asked. The reason is obvious. The Lord is going to judge those immediate neighbors of Israel BEFORE the great war of Ezekiel 38.

Let's take a look at the nations listed.

Ezekiel 38:

Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Sudan

Breakdown:
Gog of the uttermost parts of the north, is Russia.
If you take a ruler and start at Jerusalem going north,
the line goes right through Moscow
The land of Magog: Southern Russia near the Black Sea
Meshech: the area where the borders of Russia, Iran, and Turkey merge
Tubal: central Turkey
Persia: Iran
Ethiopia of that day is now called Sudan
Libya: present-day Libya
Gomer and Togarmah: parts of Turkey
The north Africa nations:
Cush: Sudan and Ethiopia
Put: part of Libya, Algeria, Tunisia
"Many peoples with you:" most likely the other Islamic nations

Psalm 83

The present-day "Palestinians," the immediate neighbors of Israel:
Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt

Breakdown:
The tents of Edom: "Palestinians" of the "West Bank"
and southern Jordan
The Ishmaelites: Saudi Arabia, Syria
Moab: central Jordan
The Hagarites: Egypt
Gebal: northern Lebanon
Ammon: northern Jordan and part of Syria
Amalek's descendants are in Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia
Philistia: "Palestinians" from Gaza, south into Egypt
Tyre: southern Lebanon (which Hezbollah controls now)
Assyria: Syria and northern Iraq
Lot’s descendants: Jordan

It's amazing that the Bible was able to state with such accuracy the alliances that would be formed thousands of years later.

This week the "Palestinians" are approaching the UN asking that they be recognized as "the Palestinian state." Regardless how it turns out this week, war is inevitable. If the UN refuses them, the "Palestinians" will be up in arms. If the UN receives them, the "Palestinians" will demand "their" land from Israel.

All the parties are posturing for war. Israel has placed warships in the Red Sea, and Iran has as well. Turkey has placed warships in the Mediterranean. The tension is so loud it's deafening. Syria has nuclear weapons, but Isaiah 17 clearly shows that Damascus is going to be totally and permanently destroyed.

The bottom line?

* Israel's survival is guaranteed.
* The end of "the Palestinians" is guaranteed.

Only the timing is yet to be seen. But if you look at the picture before us, the conclusions are obvious.

Ishmael? Isaac? The Truth About The "Palestinian State"

2011-09-20T09:56:00.010-04:00

This week, Ishmael is going to the United Nations to ask the UN to accept his so-called "Palestinian state," all of which is WITHIN the borders of Israel.

And Ishmael is demanding that its capital will be half of Jerusalem, WHICH IS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL!!!

And the world can't see the insanity of it all!

God specified which of Abraham's sons He would establish the covenant with:

"And Abraham said to God, 'Oh, that Ishmael (father of the Arabs) might live before You!'

Then God said: 'No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son,
and you shall call his name Isaac;

I will establish my covenant with HIM
for an EVERLASTING covenant,
and with HIS descendants after him.'"
Genesis 17:18-19

This issue is very much a "calling and choosing issue," because the bottom line is man's acceptance or rejection of the Word of God. Throughout history, from the very Garden-of-Eden scene, Satan's method of keeping mankind away from God is his constant temptation to doubt or disbelieve the Word of God.

"Has God indeed said.....?" posited Satan, casting doubt on what God HAD INDEED said.
Genesis 3:1

Satan is spoken of throughout the Bible, yet one of his cleverest schemes is to convince man he doesn't exist, or to make man think he is some caricature in a red suit with a long tail. If he can make mankind laugh at the idea, he's succeeded.

Satan's whole method-of-operation is DECEPTION. As it was in the beginning, so it is still.

"Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar, and the father of lies."
John 8:44

SATAN’S AGENDA IS: to keep mankind away from the Truth. He doesn't approach with a sign saying, "Here comes Satan, out to destroy you." He doesn't come as an ugly evil that mankind might reject. No, he comes as "an angel of light." He makes sin appealing. He makes deception seem reasonable.

"For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness…"
2nd Corinthians 11:14-15

Mankind's only defense against Satan is the Word of God. You will not realize you're being deceived, unless you KNOW the Word of God.

The Israel story is there to choose, to "elect," those who will accept what God has said, in this case about Israel, against what the world so vocally and loudly contradicts. It's a hard one, because Satan has made sure that the "cause of the Palestinians" draws out the sympathy of those who don't understand the story.

It's your choice: either what the world says, what the pundits say, what the media puts out, what professors teach...
-OR-
what God has said, which will often be evident by the amount of people who make fun of it.

The Harbinger, A Message By Jonathan Kahn

2011-09-11T11:28:00.005-04:00

People get upset when a believer states that a calamity might be judgment from God. I'm not sure I understand why they get upset -- if they've read what God says about Himself in his Word to us, then they'll know that not only does he warn by judgments, but that that is especially true when a nation founded upon His Word goes astray.

I have great compassion for those who suffer, as I've had more than my share of suffering in this lifetime. But I have come to accept what God has revealed to us, and to know that warnings come from a loving God who does NOT want to judge, but to bless. His blessings and his protection are thwarted, however, when a nation is willfully defiant against Him.

I do not like, nor recommend the host of the following broadcast and considered not posting the video. But his guest, Jonathan Kahn, has something VERY important to say to us, and I hope it will be heard and taken to heart.

Tisha b'Av

2011-08-08T16:24:00.007-04:00

Tonight begins the 9th of the month of Av, the date on the Hebrew calendar when the first Jewish Temple was destroyed, only to be repeated many years later when the second Temple was destroyed and the Jewish people scattered throughout the world. Many, many other terrible things have happened on this date, but on this date the Jewish people mainly mourn the destruction of both the first and the second Temples on the 9th of Av.

Awhile back, a different year, the Lord gave the following to me, which at that time I sent out. This year, I was prompted to send it out again. And as I reviewed it before sending it out just now, the hairs stood up on my arms when I realized that the Scripture quoted from Jeremiah chapter 22 JUST HAPPENED TO BE my reading of this morning! That gives me tremors inside.

Here's the word:

Is it to mourn a city and a Temple?

Or is it to mourn their rejection of their God?

Are we to weep for them?

Or do we weep for God ...who cried to them with such offers of grace and forgiveness, and that so many times, begging them not to go into destruction?

Concerning the destruction of the first Temple, they were foretold:

Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
Behold I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, BECAUSE they have hardened their necks, THAT they might not hear my words.
Jeremiah 19:15

And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, "Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?"
Then they shall answer, "BECAUSE they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God..."
Jeremiah 22:8-9

They lost their city and the first Temple BECAUSE they rejected their God.

Before the destruction of the second Temple they were foretold:

And when he was come near, he beheld the city and WEPT over it, saying:
"If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which pertain unto your peace!
But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench around you, and compass you around, and keep you in on every side; and shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, BECAUSE you knew not the time of your visitation."
Luke 19:41-44

This was fulfilled in 70 AD when they lost their city and their Temple BECAUSE they rejected his Son - His Son who had spent more than three years healing them, restoring their sight, casting out their demons, raising their dead.
But they rejected him. And that's why, HE said, they would lose their city and their Temple.

Shall we not, therefore, weep for their God who offered them all things and was rejected?

It is not that they were forsaken...

...but that HE was forsaken.

I say to America, and not only to America but to all nations: you are in danger of judgment for the same reason.

Repent, therefore. God does not desire that judgment come upon you, but it is at the doors!

Turn back to Him!

Just Who IS Barack Hussein Obama?

2011-06-10T19:05:00.003-04:00

Who is Barack Hussein Obama?
What are his REAL objectives?

Everyone in the US, no, the WORLD should listen to this presentation.
Warning - it's not for the faint of heart.

Obama Brings Judgment on America

2011-05-24T12:15:00.010-04:00

President Obama made the public statement in his speech on Thursday May 19, 2011 that Israel must pull back to its 1967 borders and allow the creation of a Palestinian state within her borders.

Since that statement, there have been devastating tornados in America. Joplin, Missouri Fire chief Mitch Randles estimated that 25 to 30 percent of the city was damaged. "It cut the city in half," Randles said." These tornados have been the most vicious tornadoes in half a century.

Joplin was cut in half just like Obama wants to do to Israel.

I post these correlations when they happen in the hopes of bringing peoples' attention to it in such a way that they will take a closer look and learn what it's all about.

If I had no other reason to believe in God, the Israel story would be enough. May others find the Lord as they learn about this story and come to repentance.

Are You Scoffing? Harold Camping and the Rapture

2011-05-22T10:42:00.005-04:00

The world is laughing, the world is scoffing, about the "Rapture," because an old man spent incredible amounts of money to spread the word that the Rapture was going to happen on a certain date.

What bothers me the most about it is the reproach on the Gospel. Camping made a laughing-stock out of the very real doctrine of the Rapture. Indeed, the Scriptures tell us that EXACTLY THAT would characterize the last days.

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.'"
2nd Peter 3:3-4

Scoffers.

Ironically, producing scoffers is exactly the fruit of the false prophecies of Harold Camping and others like him. He isn't the first, there have been many. They set dates, and when the dates come and go, scoffing is the fruit. In the early years of my walk with the Lord, I fell for it several times. Men would write books explaining why such and such a date was going to be the time of the Rapture. These were not unintelligent men, and their arguments were convincing. They told of how planets would be lined up in a certain way, and what that meant, and used many other convincing signs that the Rapture would happen at such and such a time. To a young Christian, and especially to those who have had a lot of pain in their lives, these theories gave them hope. But I can speak as one who fell for those theories several times, the great disappointment it produced is enough to turn people away entirely from any more talk of anything "religious." And of course, that's the Satanic intent.

Why is it so hard to understand:
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven..."
Matthew 24:36

That very clearly states that anyone who has some theory that the Rapture takes place on a certain day, is automatically disqualifying that very day.

The Rapture surely WILL come. There is no "sign" given beforehand, no Bible prophecy that needs to take place pointing the way to it. If there IS any sign, it's the scoffers.

While there is NO indication we can look for to anticipate the Rapture, there ARE some things that show us we're in that period of time. It's sort of like when you see Christmas decorations being put out in the stores, you know Thanksgiving is near.

The Bible has a LOT to say about "the last days." We know that the last days are characterized by God's restoration of the nation of Israel, along with the powers of hell doing everything in their power to prevent it. We know there will come a world ruler who will win the hearts of all the people but who will be a very evil man, sort of like when Hitler came to power and the masses "heiled" him, yet he turned out to be one of the most evil men in history. This coming world leader will be far worse, and will have the power to do "signs and wonders," thus deceiving many. We know there will be a world currency, and no one will be able to buy or sell unless they sign on to that economy and pledge allegiance to that world leader, the Antichrist. We know that the time leading up to that period will be characterized by great earthquakes, famine, disease, and many wars and rumors of wars.

Every generation has had earthquakes or epidemics or famines or wars. Historians can recall "the great earthquake of..." or "the war of ..." or the great epidemic of...." Indeed, almost all generations have had some "great" trauma. But what will characterize the days leading up to that last seven-year period will be that these things will ALL be there at the same time, and will increase in strength and intensity, as Jesus said, "like birth pangs." And that's exactly what we're seeing now.

The other necessary part of the picture is that Israel must be in the land that God gave to her forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Old Testament prophets forewarned them that they would go into world-wide dispersion and will be without their God or their Temple or their nation for a very long time, but "in the last days" God himself would bring them back from their world-wide dispersion and place them once again in the land given to their forefathers. And after 2,000 years of dispersion, God has now brought them back to their land. It even mentions that they will be speaking Hebrew, a language that was lost for millenia much like the Latin of the Roman Empire. Hebrew, like Latin, would disappear and be found only in religious writings. It's an awesome thing to witness, Israel is back in her land, speaking Hebrew as the common language in her country.

We've seen Israel put back into the land promised her. We see the powers of hell determined to destroy her. We've seen the combined disasters of earthquakes, wars, famine, and disease all happening at the same time and increasing in frequency and intensity.

We can't know the day or the hour that the Lord will come for believers, but we CAN see that the prophesied events of the last seven years are clearly imminent. Scripture tells us that the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ will be removed BEFORE that last seven year period begins.

Don't let men like Harold Camping cause YOU to be a scoffer. Harold Camping is actually a sign of the last days, causing men to scoff and bring reproach to the Gospel.

The Rapture

End Of The World On May 21?

2011-05-17T11:39:00.005-04:00

Some of you have heard that either the world will end or the Rapture will happen on May 21.

The Bible tells us that one characteristic of "the last days" is that people will be scoffers, disbelieving the coming of the Lord. Read it in 2 Peter 3:3. I have come to see that those who set dates that come and go are actually producing the scoffing.

NO ONE knows the day or the hour of the Rapture. And those men who come up with reasons to believe it will happen at a certain time are actully doing harm to the Scriptural truths about the very Rapture they're misrepresenting.

The Rapture can happen at any time, there is nothing that needs to happen before the Rapture can take place. And Scripture tells us that NO ONE is going to know the date beforehand.

But that is not so concerning the end of the age. There ARE things that have to take place before the end. Those things are very observable and everything IS moving alarmingly in that direction. But there yet remains much that has to take place beforehand. There is a period of seven years that will precede the end of the age, and that period has NOT begun yet.

Here's an article addressing the issue concerning May 21.
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs019/1101818841456/archive/1105555339726.html

And here is a brief discussion of the Rapture itself:
What Is The Rapture?

While it is clear that the end of the age is NOT going to happen this year, the Rapture is something that will happen without warning, so if you're an unbeliever or a scoffer you just might get left behind. Once that happens, the terrible things of the Book of Revelation will begin. Jesus said it will be a time of tribulation worse than has ever previously happened on the earth or ever will thereafter.

To be saved, and to be spared the most awful time in world history, you must be born again. If you want to know more, here are two places where these issues are explained:

Born Again, What Does That Mean?

Who Is Jesus Christ?

Who Would Ever Have Believed...

2011-05-05T11:54:00.008-04:00

Incredibly, in an historic meeting in Cairo yesterday, the terrorist groups Hamas and Fatah signed a unification declaration.

What does this mean? Why should I care?

If you have the big picture, you'll easily see what it means. You need to see the big picture, because it will bring you to realize the eternal implications for each one of us.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been uprisings across the Middle East. Leaders have been ousted and the countries are still in chaos. It's no coincidence that each of these countries have suddenly had cataclysmic revolutions all at the same time. There is a common force behind it all.

The Islamic Brotherhood has three main goals:
1- Submission to the Koran
2- To bring the whole world under Islamic Sharia law
by using whatever force necessary
3 - The destruction of Israel off the face of the earth

Who could ever have anticipated that the opposing Islamic factions would ever, could ever, unite? Generally, Sunnis hate Shiites and Shiites hate Sunnis and so it has always been. But there is one thing that unites them all: their hatred for Israel and their determination to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and to bring THE WHOLE EARTH under submission to Allah.

So now we see a Middle East-wide revolution taking place, toppling dictators and bringing a supposed "democracy" to all involved. But to anyone who knows the Koran and the history of Islam, it's an oxymoron: democracy is not possible in Islam, in fact, is contradictory to Islam. Islam demands subservience to its tenets (as listed above) and harsh Shariah law prevents individual choice. So what is coming is a unification of Islam across the Middle East, the imposition of Shariah law forbidding all opposition, and the carrying out of its goal to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

There's no other way to explain the consistent revolts across the entire Middle East than to understand that there is a central unifying force behind it. If you know the prophecies of the Bible, you'll easily see where this is going. Scroll down to the post before this one, for a more detailed explanation.

As of right now, there is a planned march of hundreds of thousands of Islamists upon Israel, scheduled for May 15. Will this lead to the Psalm 83 war? We can't know that yet, but what we do know is that everything is pointing to it; whether it be now or later, it's going to happen. What's happening now is clearly uniting the Muslims in the Middle East in their common goal of the destruction of the Jews.

We need to watch this closely, as this may be the time of the destruction of the "Palestians," which will bring in a period of false peace during which the Antichrist will arise and form a covenant with Israel for a period of seven years, which he will break at midpoint.

Is that where this is going? We can only watch, but woe to those who do not watch. Those who believe that the Lord will come for his Church before the events of the seven last years, the time of the Antichrist, these believers are watching closely because one thing we DO know, He will return for his own before then.

In other words, anytime now.

Egypt? Lebanon? What's Going On???

2011-02-04T11:22:00.011-05:00

The Lord has revealed a great deal of information concerning "the last days." But it's difficult to pull the pieces of the puzzle together when it comes to the timing of events. I can truly identify with the Scripture that says "we see as through a glass darkly."

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
1 Corinthians 13:12

With that in mind, let's take a look at the rapidly-developing events happening in the Middle East through the lens of what has been revealed in the Bible. It's all about Israel!

We know of two of the great wars Israel will face, one presented in great detail in Ezekiel 38, and another in Psalm 83. It looks like the latter will precede the former, for very good reasons.

1. The most well-known and long-discussed passage is in Ezekiel 38 where Iran and Russia, along with several north African Muslim nations will come down to destroy Israel. When these prophecies were given, keep in mind that the prophet used the names of the places as they were called then. Historians have been able to trace who they were at the time, and what those areas are called today. For example, "Persia" was the leading kingdom on earth in the times of some of the prophets. Today, the area which was then called Persia is present-day Iran. In like manor we can identify the other nations listed.

Some facts to notice about the Ezekiel 38 passage:

1. Russia and Iran will be leading the assault
2. Verse 8 shows us it will take place in the last days
3. It will be at a time when Israel is in a state of relative peace
4. In this passage you will not find Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, which are the present-day immediate neighbors of Israel.

This arouses some questions:

How can it be when Israel is at a time of peace? She hasn't had peace since Israel has been re-established in 1948.

And why are Israel's immediate neighbors not mentioned in this conflict?

The answer may lie in the war mentioned in Psalm 83. This passage DOES mention Israel's present-day immediate neighbors, and verse 12 even tells their motive, which is to take the land from Israel.
"Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession..."

So Israel will come to a semblance of peace, when God judges her immediate neighbors, the so-called Palestinians, "as fire burns wood." This will put Israel in a state of peace that she hasn't experienced since she has been regathered to her land.

Is what is happening in Egypt a precursor to the Psalm 83 war?
We can only watch and see, but from viewing the unrest not only in Egypt but in the other countries surrounding Israel, it's only too obvious that exactly that is being set up. In fact, the very words of the Psalm are only too familiar today:

"They have said, 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'"

Those words have constantly been in our news reports on the happenings in the Middle East. How could the psalmist, and the prophet Isaiah have known so particularly, so exactly, the specific alliances and hatreds and motives that would take place "in the last days" from more than 2,700 years ago?

Egypt

What has been revealed about Egypt in "the last days" which seems to be developing right now?
1. Egyptians will fight against Egyptians
2. They will come under the hand of a dictator, a "cruel master," and a "fierce king."

"I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor... And the Egyptians I will give into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them," Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 19:2-4

Civil unrest will be the cause of Egyptians warring against Egyptians. That is EXACTLY what we are witnessing right now.

We need to be watching this very, very closely. If the Muslim Brotherhood takes over in Egypt, then the very life of Israel is threatened, because the Muslim Brotherhood vehemently hates Israel.

But it's not just Egypt:

1. Israel's northern border in Lebanon is under the control of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group.
2. Israel's northeast border is Syria, the avowed and longtime enemy of Israel, and which along with Iran is the supporter of the terrorist groups threatening Israel.
3. Jordan sits as Israel's eastern neighbor and the uproar in the region is spreading into Jordan as well.
4. Israel's neighbor to the further northwest is Turkey, which until recently was an ally but has abandoned its ties with Israel and has embraced the radical Muslim nations.
5. Israel's southern border is under the control of the fierce Israel-hating Hamas terror group, and that area abuts Egypt.
6. Israel's western border is the Mediterranean Sea, which all of the above have vowed to push Israel into.

What more does God have to say concerning Egypt as she relates to Israel? Read Isaiah 19:17-22
1. Israel will be victorious over Egypt:
"And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it."

2. Even the Hebrew language will be spoken in Egypt.
"In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts..."

3.Egypt is one nation that will not be destroyed. She will be struck and then be converted.
"And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them."

Pray for Israel, and for God's people in the Middle East. Pray for the Muslim nations because even as these things are lining up for last-days events, God is doing a great work among the Muslims. Thousands upon thousands are coming to the Lord.

Listen to testimonies

Pray for the great harvest of souls before the door is closed and the events of the great Tribulation are unleashed upon a wicked and unbelieving world. Things are even at this moment lining up for the event of the last days to unfold. The door will soon be closed.

Presidential Seal Falls To The Floor

2010-10-08T10:03:00.019-04:00

When I saw this item in the news, the first thing that came to mind was the passage in the Book of Daniel, chapter 5, where the high and mighty king of Babylon was feasting and suddenly there appeared handwriting on the wall which foretold his fall.

Obama was speaking on Tuesday at a banquet in Washington and in the middle of his speech, the Presidential Seal on the front of the rostrum fell to the floor.

Hmmmm ......

And as if that weren't enough --

Also in the news was a report of dozens of people falling ill while he was speaking in Bowie, Maryland. This was the headline:

"Dozens Fall Ill At Obama Rally."

Double "hmmmm ...."

Is someone trying to tell us that this is a dangerous man?

A Mosque At Ground Zero ???

2010-08-03T11:02:00.006-04:00

I wonder if someone put some kind of mind-altering drug into the nation's water supplies. HAS AMERICA GONE CRAZY?

On September 11, 2001 America was attacked by Islamic terrorists who killed 3,000 of our citizens, and destroyed two skyscrapers in New York city.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW ISLAM TO BUILD A MOSQUE THERE???

A well-known principle in Islam is that in any place they conquer, they are to build a mosque. And they're about to build one right near the site where they murdered thousands of our people.

This is so insane that it defies any sense of reason whatsoever.

WHY IS AMERICA ALLOWING THIS?

Walid Shoebat, a former Islamic terrorist, addresses this in an interview on WWL in New Orleans. Don't stop at the several station breaks, listen to it to the end when he runs rings around a Muslim caller who tries to deceive the audience into believing Islam is a religion of peace. Disregard the noise at the beginning as the station signs on.

The information on this post I found to be lacking in credibility, so I've taken it down. I'm keeping this up for a few days because there are links to it everywhere.

A Rant As I Watch Gaza

2010-06-17T19:18:00.012-04:00

I was reading an article someone sent me describing how Israel, under tremendous pressure from the US and the UN, is easing the delivery of goods into Gaza.

As I read the article, I could feel the anger rising inside me. I vented some of that anger in my response, and then felt I should post it because believe it or not, some people do not know the following facts.

First of all why, (and WHY don't others raise this issue?) -- why on earth is Israel responsible AT ALL for ANYTHING concerning the "Palestinians?' Palestinians are Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians, Turks, etc. So why on earth don't THOSE countries take care of their own??? In addition, the "Palestinians" have received incredible amounts of aid from the US and from the world. They should be wealthy -if that wealth were getting to them, that is. When was the last time you heard Israel moaning and groaning that it needs goods and jobs and medical help, etc, from those ancient countries? Israel's only been there 62 years, THEY are the ones who should be getting help from their neighbors. Take another look at the map. Tiny Israel is responsible to supply goods and medical care and jobs, and, and, and, and...to the "Palestinians"...???

This is just crazy. It makes no sense at all ...unless you're listening to MSNBC and other media who put out gross deception which the public just gobbles up as truth.

The world is criticizing Israel for wanting to check all goods going into Gaza by sea. GEE, WHY ON EARTH DO THEY WANT TO DO THAT, ANYWAY? Do you think it might have anything at all to do with the more than 7,000 rockets that have been fired upon Israel since they ceded Gaza to the "Palestinians"?

If Mexicans started launching rockets into our southern states, I mean THOUSANDS of rockets, just how long do you think the US would sit by and let it continue? Yet this same United States, along with the United Nations, demands exactly that from Israel and that is just insane.

Consider this: Israel has the CAPACITY to destroy all the nations around her in one hour. Israel has nuclear armaments. But instead of doing that, they allow their citizens to be butchered and rocketed and shot and blown up by those enemies. Who has ever ever praised Israel for her restraint? For NOT nuking those monsters? No, the world yells and screams and gets all upset because Israel wants to check shipments from Muslim nations going into Gaza. This truly, truly is insanity

I heard a report today of some Gazans getting medical care in Israel. Uh-huhhh. Do you know what Gaza would do if an Israeli accidentally stepped foot into Gaza? They'd either kidnap him for political purposes, or they'd just out-and-out kill him. It's certainly been done enough times already. Yet few take note when Israel gives humanitarian aid for whoever, wherever, including to their enemies. It happens all the time, but the public isn't told that. I remember sitting in an emergency room with a friend in Jerusalem. The room was filled with "Palestinians." One thing you can be sure of, there are NO Palestinian emergency rooms with Israelis in them!

When I lived in Jerusalem, I saw "Palestinians" everywhere I went. They walked the downtown streets. They rested in Israel's parks. Their children sold small wares in public places. Does the world realize that an Israeli would not survive should he be found on a "Palestinian" street? I remember many times hearing the news media report that a hiker, or a settler, or a soldier ventured accidentally into "Palestinian" areas, and was shot.

I was on a bus one time, going from Jerusalem to Beer Sheva. The window had a grate over it, and there was a soldier in the first seat near the driver, sitting stiffly, with his rifle ready in hand should he need to use it. That's all we were doing, traveling from one Israeli city to another Israeli city and our lives were in jeopardy.

Yet the "Palestinians" freely and without fear or threat walk the streets of Israel's cities. Does the public not know these things?

This is insanity. It's very, VERY hard for me to understand why the world hates Israel and coddles the "Palestinians." I came to realize recently that part of the reason lies in the news media people choose as their news sources. The left-wing media report out-and-out lies. And people don't know any better, nor much care. They go on believing lies. The lies of the media, and the lies of the Muslim clerics.

Remember this oft-overlooked fact:

According to Muslim clerics, it is NOT a sin to lie for the sake of Islam, in fact it is encouraged, and that is common knowledge. If you believe ANYTHING they say, you're either terribly naive or sadly uninformed. They lie freely and without conscience. In fact they brag about it.

Jesus had this to say about Satan:
"He was a murderer from the beginning,
and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own resources,
for he is a liar and the father of it."
John 8:44

Pretty well describes Islam, doesn't it?

Midwest Tornados Tied To Flotilla Incident

2010-06-07T14:58:00.011-04:00

Whenever the US in any way opposes God's program in the restoration of Israel, judgment usually falls upon the US within 48 hours. I, and others, have been demonstrating this for a long time now - you'd think they'd "get it," but they don't. They refuse to.

While the flotilla incident in the Mediterranean was making the news everywhere this weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu happened to be in Canada, with plans to go on to Washington for a meeting with Obama. Once again, Obama nixed the plan, and minutes after Netanyahu announced he was on his way to Washington, he suddenly announced that he'd be going home to Israel instead. Obama refused to have him at the White House. He did not want it to look like he was endorsing Israel while Israel was experiencing world-wide condemnation for the flotilla disaster happening off Israel's coast.

Then judgment fell upon the US.

Tornados raged across Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, killing at least 7 people and leaving widespread damage across the region.

Fox News Tornado Report

Like the incident a couple months ago:

If you remember, Mr. Netanyahu received a humiliating snub when he was here in March. He was ushered in to the White House, not with dignities as usually afforded a head of state, but through a side door. There were no photo ops, nothing. At dinnertime, Obama got up and left the room. Netanyahu left in humiliation.

Then judgment fell upon the US

The worst floods in 100 years swamped the northeastern United States. A March 31 news headline read, "Northeast Hit By Worst Floods in 100 Years"

CNN -Northeast Hit With Worst Flooding in 100 years

I am going to continue to report these correlations as they happen. People need to realize that the restoration of the land of Israel is a program Almighty God is conducting. Israel his HIS land, given to HIS people Israel¹ in an "everlasting covenant."² Everlasting means for all time. Israel lost possession of the land twice, in divine discipline upon them when they turned away from him. And they've been restored twice, the second time being right now, right in front of our eyes. Scripture tells us that the second restoration will be permanent, and they will never again be uprooted from their land.

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall

He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the

Is The Oil Disaster Judgment From God?

2010-06-03T14:29:00.011-04:00

This morning I received an email asking this:

"I am interested in your take on what's going on in Israel and with the oil crisis as they relate to the end of times."

My answer:

As you know, for years I have spoken and written about the Arab-Israeli conflict and have tried to make clear the basis for it, that it is the "everlasting hatred" of Ishmael against the descendants of Isaac. That is, of course, true. But I came to see that it's far more than that.

The true basis for the conflict is the hatred of Satan for God. And until people understand this, they will not be able to understand what's really going on in the world and in the Middle East.

Satan knows the "signs of the times" as well as we do, he knows the Scriptures. And he knows that the re-establishment of the nation of Israel after having been desolate for 2,000 years, signals the approaching end of his career. For those who understand this it will be obvious, as he does everything in his power to destroy Israel in order to prevent or delay the coming of the Messiah, because it is written that it is the Messiah of Israel who will bring Satan's career to an end. Satan's master-plan was perpetrated in the Holocaust. His intent was to destroy all the Jews. He managed to destroy 6 million of them, and was enraged when that very effort was what brought in the rebirth of Israel shortly afterwards. His hatred knows no bounds and the world will see that hatred manifested in all that he will do, especially against Israel, as this story comes to its conclusion.

* * Don't ever lose sight of this one thing: it is the opposition of Satan against God which is the basis for all the hatred against Israel. This is a story that started in Genesis, and is reaching its culmination in our days, right before our eyes. If you truly understand this, it will make you rethink everything you know about these days. * *

I've said for years that in order for the "Antichrist" to take over, America has to go down. And for years I wondered how that would or could happen. I never suspected that America would become so corrupt that it would invoke the wrath of God upon her. It's still hard to believe that the America we knew and loved as young people has become so reprobate. The bottom line as far as America goes: using as a pretext the total twisting and misapplication of the first amendment to our Constitution, the American people have kicked God out of every public place, and God is not going to stay in a place where he is rejected and where he is insulted daily. And when God leaves, America will find out what the ramifications are. I don't know if "natural" disasters will destroy this country, or whether it might be nuclear, chemical, and/or biological attacks. Maybe all the above. All we know is that America is not referred to in the "last days" passages which identify the nations who WILL be involved. The greatest nation that has EVER been on the earth not even mentioned? That says it all. America won't be here, at least not as a super-power. Consider this too: if all the Christians were removed, the restraining power of the believers would no longer be an obstacle to the spread of evil, and evil would take over totally and quickly.

There are a lot of things working together to create the one-world global government which the Scriptures tell us will be headed by "the Antichrist." In times past, we wondered how a global government could possibly come into being, because the ideologies of the countries of the world differ so much. But it seems clear that disasters, plus the failing monetary systems, are going to be powerful players in the rise of global government. Just days ago, president Obama was speaking at West Point and he used the buzz-words "new world order." It's this "new world order," spoken of for centuries, that will progress into the global government over which the Antichrist will rule. The Antichrist will be empowered by Satan himself and will persuade the world with supernatural signs and wonders, leading them to believe HE is the Messiah.

Israel-America

Take note that as US pressure upon Israel creates a great threat to her borders, we have had noticeable threats to OUR borders. "The powers that be" in America are allowing foreigners to come into this country and use up our resources, creating a great strain on our financial and also our health systems. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that this country is willing to allow foreigners to break our immigration laws and saturate our resources, getting free health care, free housing, free education, etc, etc, etc. There is no explanation in the natural for something as insane as this. It has to be the hand of God. As the United States government has caused Israel to be stressed to the max with its "Palestinian" population creating havoc within and around its borders, so there are foreigners now creating havoc within OUR borders. So clear you can hardly miss it, yet the eyes of our officials have been blinded.

Israel becoming isolated

Zephaniah 2:1 calls her the "nation not desired." And it's obvious that the entire world is against Israel. Until this administration, America was the one and only major nation in the world who stood with Israel. Note, too, that America has been the most blessed nation on the earth. But there's been a change, a change you can feel everywhere. And this change has brought Israel into isolation. Just remember that God is ultimately in control. He is going to bring Israel to the point where they have NO ONE to turn to and the entire world is against them. But that's where Israel needs to be, because when there's no way out, they will finally realize that only God can save them. Israel is stubborn. They have to get to a point of helplessness. So yes, Satan is enacting this, but in doing so he's moving them right into the isolation they need to be in, where they will finally cry out to their God.

Oil

There are principles or laws that God has established which are as sure as the "laws" of nature. Throw a ball up, you can be sure it will come down. Oppose Israel, and you can be sure judgment will come upon you. Notice the context in which the oil spill disaster hit America: Obama is bowing before the Muslim nations. Why? There are several reasons but one is the oil wealth of those nations. So as America rejects Israel and bows to the oil-rich Muslim nations, America is harshly judged with an unprecedented oil disaster. Not only that, but it happens just when Israel discovers a very, very large resource of oil and natural gas right off the coast of Haifa, deposits so huge that they will make Israel non-dependent on anyone else for energy resources. Incredible coincidence? Of course not. It's the ongoing story in which all the factors are moving into place just before the great Tribulation comes upon the world.

I don't write so much on these subjects anymore, because I find that believers already know these things, and as for unbelievers - they do not "see" no matter how clear you make it. I have the sense that it's too late. People's minds are made up and it's too late to change them. When Jesus walked this earth, he got to the point where he stated that he would no longer speak to the people except through parables that they wouldn't understand, and it was basically for the same reason: by that point, people had made up their minds. He expounded and clarified things to his disciples, but no longer to the people. (Matthew 13:10-16)

Yes, people have made up their minds already. I used to quote Joel 3:14, "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision..." But I suspect the time has come or is near when it's too late, they've made their decisions.

So:
"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still." Revelation 22:11

Obama Humiliates Netanyahu

2010-03-25T19:29:00.014-04:00

This is SUCH a disgrace. Even Arafat was never treated this way.
After reading this, I encourage you to write a letter of protest the the President, and a letter of support to Prime Minister Netanyahu. Here are the addresses:

Write to the President on the White House site:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Write to Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Prime Minister's site:
http://www.PMO.gov.il/PMOEng/PM/write+to+PM/

* Note:
I've posted highlights of Netanyahu's speech at the bottom of this post.

-Paula

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the Times of London:

For a head of state to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of.

Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip seen in Jerusalem tonight as a disastrous humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr. Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new,” a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.

“The Prime Minister leaves America disgraced, isolated and altogether weaker than when he came,” the Israeli daily Ha'aretz said.

With the atmosphere so soured by the end of the evening, the Israelis decided that they could not trust the phone line they had been lent. Mr. Netanyahu retired with his defense minister, Ehud Barak, to the Israeli Embassy to ensure the Americans were not listening in.

Condensed from:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7076431.ece

Israel Insider put it this way:

If Benjamin Netanyahu thought that a meeting with Barack Hussein Obama was just the thing to clear the air and smooth ruffled relations between the two nations, he was sadly and badly mistaken.

The signs were there. The White House demanded no media, no outside photographers, not even a ceremonial handshake nor the vaguest of pleasantries. All of the sweet words of a "rock solid.... unwavering.... forever" alliance uttered by Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the preceding days were out the window.

Instead, he walked into an ambush. Israel's Channel Two correspondent Udi Segal described it as "brutal."

In the wake of the disagreements, and continued lower-level consultations Wednesday morning, Netanyahu canceled his media appearances and stayed, with Ehud Barak, in the secure confines of the Israeli embassy -- secure also in the confidence that their conversations were not being monitored, a feeling lacking in the White House.

Storms -A Personal note

2010-03-18T11:51:00.010-04:00

Last week, vicious storms laced the northeast again, seemingly coming out of nowhere. Hurricane-force winds hit all along the east coast, and for 30 straight hours knocked down trees that fell on cars and on houses and on power lines, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity; and as though that weren't enough, floods erupted furthering the damage.

It was something of an oddity to us here, because all the storms of the past few weeks were hitting all around us, but none of them touched us here in central Maine. In fact, we've had the mildest winter in Maine that I ever in my life remember having, while all around us experienced storms which decimated the areas, leaving multiple hundreds of thousands without power, while we have had spring-like weather since February. There's no snow on the ground. None. This is central Maine, I remind you. The trees are budding, six weeks early. I don't know if this is unprecedented, but I surely have never seen it in all my years in Maine.

There's a news analysis program I watch each day, but this week the daily link didn't appear to be there. I wondered if the speaker were ill. What I didn't know was that the site was having problems with the link, but that it was there all along. Today for some reason, I clicked on it anyway and voila, there it was. What I heard made me sit up and take notice.

The speaker, J R Church, was speaking on the latest spate of severe storms that have hit the east coast. As he spoke, I had a "duhhh" moment as he correlated them to the meddling America has been doing in Israel once again. I was speechless as the realization fell upon me that I hadn't noticed the principle of judgment falling on America within 48 hours of her meddling in God's program in the restoration of Israel. I hadn't connected the dots this time.

Hear it on:
http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/

-Click on Tuesday

Why didn't I "get" it? I don't know, getting old I guess. But sure enough, these storms hit while American Vice-President Joe Biden was in Israel giving the Israeli Prime Minister a tongue-lashing for daring to build homes in Jerusalem. Accompanying that, Secretary of State Clinton did the same, speaking angrily and harshly to the Israeli Prime Minister, demanding that he stop all building in Jerusalem. And then the American President gave an angry weigh-in, not realizing what they were bringing on America.

This vicious storm came out of nowhere, lashing the northeast furiously and causing a tremendous lot of damage. In fact, when I woke up to the news of the storms, I realized that at the very time it was happening, my daughter Sherry and her family were traveling in the worst-hit areas. I immediately went to the Lord to pray for their safety. On returning, she told me that it was very scary, and that all along the highway they were on, cars were off the roads in ditches, and she saw multiple instances of the rescuers having to use the "jaws of life" to get people out. Yet my daughter and her family only SAW the destruction. None of it touched them as they traveled through it.

This morning as I listened to J R Church, the goosebumps stood up on my arms as I was able to connect the dots concerning these storms. Only this week I had remarked to several people that it seemed like the Lord had drawn a red circle around central Maine all winter long, forbidding any of the storms from coming here. It has been SO "weird" to see everyone all around us get pummeled and pummeled again and again by back-to-back storms that wreaked havoc all along the east coast, yet all the while we in central Maine experienced NO snow, and spring-like temperatures throughout that time.

It reminded me of a similar thing that happened when California experienced those horrible fires that left billions of dollars of damage and the loss of lives as well. My mother and sister live there, and it was absolutely astounding that the fires burned all around them, but did not touch the streets around the area they live in. They had been told to be ready to evacuate, and the bags were all packed for that possibility, but while all the communities around them were being evacuated, my mother and sister's area was not touched. There was soot on the cars, and smoke in the air, but that was all. Made me think of Lot as he must have observed the fires destroying Sodom.

So what am I saying, you ask? Am I stating that God literally drew a red line around the place I live in and forbad the storms from coming here? Of course I cannot say that, how could I? But what I CAN do is observe, and I'm reporting what I've seen. And it's something I've NEVER seen the likes of yet -- trees budding in March in Maine??? We've had spring-like weather as vicious snow storms caused blackouts all around us leaving hundreds of thousands in the dark. We're able to go out for a daily walk while all the area from Washington up to southern Maine gets two feet of snow, and then get another one in back-to-back storms? Trees budding in wintertime while they get snow in Florida?

There are a few in the central Maine area who take a public stand for Israel and against America's meddling in God's program. And there are a few where my mother and sister live whose area was also spared while the communities all around them were receiving judgment connected to America's meddling in God's program in Israel. And I'm not saying there aren't people taking public stands for Israel in areas that WERE hit with judgment. I'm only reporting what I have observed, and that is that as I put out information about God's program in Israel, my immediate area was cocooned in total separation from the judgment happening all around us. And the same happened when the fires were destroying the places around the area my mother and sister live in.

We can only wait and see what happens next. In the meantime, I pray that a message like this might touch hearts, revealing to them that God is very, VERY serious about his program of the restoration of Israel, and when America opposes him in this, America is always judged within 48 hours.

I highly recommend the book, "As America Has Done To Israel," by John McTernan, who has charted all these correlations, bringing the principle into clear focus with facts, dates, and observations. I pray that many will take this to heart and begin to show people this correlation that so far has been consistent. I pray that many will start to speak out in opposition to what the American government is doing concerning Israel, lest far-worse consequences happen to this country.

Earthquakes And The End Of The Age

2010-03-14T12:23:00.017-04:00

What is it about the recent earthquakes that makes them significant concerning the "last days" events foretold by Jesus Christ?

Every century has had its disasters. A time-line would clearly show earthquakes, famines, pestilence (disease) and wars dispersed throughout the years. Each century seems to have had one or more disasters marking that century, whether they be an earthquake, a great war, or whatever.

Jesus told us that what would characterize the "last days," would be disasters coming in the nature of BIRTH PAINS, that is, they would increase in number and intensity as the time of the end nears.

Because I am very interested in the events prophesied about these days, I've paid particular attention to the nature and character of the disasters that have come upon us especially in the past decade. A few decades ago, a great earthquake was unusual and would remain a topic of discussion for a long time. But things are changing.

* In 2008, for example, there were EIGHT earthquakes measuring 7.0 or greater on the Richter scale, and a great tsunami.

* In 2009, I recorded thirteen earthquakes at 7.0 or more.

* Now in 2010, there have been 11 earthquakes of 6.0 or greater just since January, and two that were devastating.

Much of the world is either at war or talking about war. Wars and atrocities throughout the world have resulted in a large percentage of the world's population starving. Pestilence, or disease, has been in the forefront throughout the past recent years, especially noteworthy being Aids, the Swine Flu, for example.

The point that makes all these particularly worthy of note, however, is that these things are coming TOGETHER in these times. No longer is it a great pestilence of a century, or a great famine occurring in a century, or a great war demarcating a century, but these things are ALL upon us together in THIS century, and increasing in number and intensity.

The greatest sign of the times, however, is another thing the Bible speaks of, and without this one all the above would not have qualified as being the ones pointing to the end of the age. And that is the sign of Israel being back in the land. Israel was destroyed in the year 70 AD and the Jewish people scattered throughout the entire earth, and remained so for almost 2,000 years. The Bible clearly foretold, however, that in the "last days," the Lord God would bring them back to the land he gave to their fathers, and that has been happening right before our eyes. Israel was reborn on May 14, 1948 and since then the Jewish people have been flooding back to the land of their fathers in droves, with the Jewish population in Israel hovering around 6 million now. In just 62 years.

It is my hope that an article like this might touch the hearts of people and encourage them to watch the events of the next few months as we see the birth pains increasingly announcing that the end of the age is drawing near. And if so, what that means for each individual. It is a time to consider one's mortality and seek after God to find salvation in him. A time to establish correct priorities. And a a time to inform the uninformed that they might do the same, those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, that is.

-----
Scripture references:

Matthew 24

vs: 7-8 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."
Note: some translations say the beginning of "sorrows." The Greek word is "odin, Strong's 5604, correctly translated "birth pains."

vs 21-22 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved..."

Luke 21

vs 10-11 "Then He said to them, 'Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven."

vs 25-26 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the anticipation of those things which are coming on the earth..."

Update on previous post

2010-02-10T10:22:00.010-05:00

There is precedent in the Bible in which the Lord intensifies his message by repeating it a second time. For example, there were two parts to the Egyptian Pharoah's dream, which Joseph interpreted, and Joseph told him that the doubling of the message indicated its seriousness and its certainty.

Consider:
Less than a week after a huge blizzard engulfed the White House and shut down Washington DC as well as a large part of the country around it, a second snow storm dumped yet another foot of snow on the city which hadn't even recovered from the first one yet.

But that's not all. Did anyone notice this?

There also was an earthquake -- where of all places?

Chicago, Obama's home state.

And it was strong enough that residents in several states around it also reported feeling the quake.

Connect those dots if you can!

Global Warming Hits The White House

2010-02-06T18:23:00.007-05:00

Do any of you remember climate expert Lord Christopher Monckton who urged Americans to resist what was going to happen in Copenhagen in December? To jog your memory -- it was the global warming thing -- because we in America have such a huge carbon footprint, we were going to join other countries and cede our US sovereignty over to the United Nations so they can spread the wealth to the developing nations that haven't left a large carbon footprint.

The whole global warming thing ties into the push for globalism, something that the Bible prophesied ages ago, the one-world system that will be headed by the Antichrist. Just remember this: the global warming subject has an agenda and it's an agenda we don't want. A fluke stopped it from happening this time in Copenhagen, but it will happen, be assured of that.

Anyway, when I saw the White House covered in global warming, errrr, uhhhh, snow, that is, -- it struck me as hilarious. Only problem is, they don't have eyes to see, or ears to hear and understand the incredible irony in this.

Is The Tragedy Of Haiti Related To Its Voodoo?

2010-01-15T11:42:00.006-05:00

Is there any connection between the tragedy that has occured in Haiti and its practice of voodoo?

Many people scoff at the mention of evil spirits, curses, spells, witchcraft, and practices such as voodoo. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Back when Haiti was France's richest colony, it was known as "the Pearl of the Antilles," lush and beautiful, truly the crown of the Caribbean.

What happened? HOW could a place of such wealth and beauty become the poorest land in the western world, and one of the poorest and most oppressed countries on the face of the earth?

It is a historical fact that on August 14, 1791, the nation was dedicated to Satan by voodoo priests who covenanted with Satan, dedicating their country to him if he would set them free of the French who were enslaving and exploiting them. Everyone present sacrificed a black pig in a voodoo ritual and hundreds of the slaves drank its blood, swearing an oath to Satan to serve him if he would grant them this deliverance.

The nation of Haiti was officially born in 1804 and ever since, the witch doctors have met there each August 14 to sacrifice to Satan. And since then its fortunes have turned to chains of poverty, despair, oppression, and untold tragedy.

A Second Time

In 1991 Haiti was rededicated to Satan on its 200-year anniversary by then president Jean-Bertgrand Aristide, a defrocked Catholic priest who made voodoo the official religion in Haiti. In his decree, Aristide said, "Voodoo is an essential part of our national identity." On that day he had all the radio stations play nothing but Voodoo music. He flew in hundreds of Voodoo priests from Africa to take part.

Haiti is the only country in the entire world that has dedicated its nation to Satan. Demonic spirits are consulted for decisions, to cast spells, to perform all that has to do with witchcraft. Haitian children are taught at a very young age all about Voodoo rites, services and rituals, about the bòkò or witch doctor, and the power he has. They live their lives going to the witch doctor with requests that he cast spells of illness, malnutrition, misfortune or even death on others. Up to 75% of the population of Haiti practice Voodoo.

Let The Facts Speak

When you look at countries of the far east, the poorest and most desperate of them live under various Hindu and Buddhist gods which they are constantly appeasing with their devotions. The results speak volumes.

In contrast, consider the United States which was founded on the Judeo-Christian principles of the Bible. There has never been a nation on earth as blessed and prosperous, mighty and successful as America. Those who have eyes to see have been screaming desperate warnings that America's present course will change all that, having started with the nation-wide effort to erase all that has to with God and his Word.

Haiti, along with places like India and China, are visual examples of the poverty and devastation unleashed when peoples worship and serve the gods of this world, who are representations of Satan who, the Bible says, has come only to "steal, to kill, and to destroy."¹ The pictures we are seeing of the misery in Haiti are stark demonstrations of exactly that.

In the same passage Jesus said, on the other hand, that he has come to bring life, and that more abundantly. America has been a stark demonstration of this blessing for more than 200 years now.

Jesus, in a discussion of tragedy, said "unless you repent, you shall also likewise perish."²

Is anyone listening?

Ahmadinejad The Jew

2009-10-04T14:37:00.009-04:00

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leader of Iran who has threatened the United States and Israel with nuclear eradication was actually born a Jew!

The British Daily Telegraph was apparently the first to break the story that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leader of Iran, is by birth a Jew.

Ahmadinejad's ID card shows that his true family name is Sabourjian, which is a Jewish name. The Sabourjian name has been concentrated in the Aradan area of Iran, where he was born. The name is on a list of reserved names for Iranian Jews at the Ministry of the Interior, and the ending "jian" specifically shows the family were practicing Jews.

Interestingly, the name translates to "weaver of the Sabour;" according to one report, "sabour" is the Iranian word not just for cloth, but for the talit, or Jewish prayer shawl. So his forefathers were actually weavers of the prayer shawls every Jew wears when he prays both at home and at the synagogue. Well, not every Jew...

Makes me think of the Scripture, Daniel 11:37, which says that one specific characteristic of the Antichrist is that "he will not regard the God of his fathers..."

Ahmadinejad's identity papers show that the Sabourjian family name was changed after his parents converted to Islam when he was a young child. The family moved to Tehran in the 1950's to seek better economic fortunes. Relatives have said that economic and religious pressures led Ahmadinejad's father, who was a blacksmith, to change his name.

Ahmadinejad regularly spews vitriol against Israel, denying its right to even exist, and claims that the Holocaust is a made-up story from which the Jews demanded a homeland in the Middle East. A made-up story? One day when I was in Tel Aviv, I sat on a bus directly opposite a woman who had the concentration camp numbers burned into her arm. It turned my stomach as I realized how she got them. Didn't happen? There are MANY survivors of the Holocaust who are still alive and telling their stories. Didn't happen? When the allies liberated the concentration camps, general Dwight Eisenhower ordered that what they saw be filmed so that no one could ever deny this happened. Take a look here, see the red box on the left:

The Holocaust didn't happen? Click here.

Obviously, when he cries out "death to Israel," he is not including himself. That's ok, he'll someday stand before the God of Israel and give account.

Reminds me of a picture of Arafat,
remember him?

He also hated Israel.

A friend on my email list suggested we break out the Magen David. I responded that I feel more like sitting shiva.

America is Asleep

2009-09-21T16:09:00.002-04:00

You know, it's like the frog in the boiling pot. The water heats up so gradually that the frog doesn't realize how much trouble he's in until it's too late.

Such is the case with America. It's happened so gradually that we haven't noticed it.

How Long Till They're Here?

2009-07-28T19:32:00.004-04:00

It amazes me, the things that DON'T get publicized by the media.

We've all seen clips of terrorist training camps in places on the other side of the world. We yawn. We've heard it so many times, yada yada yada....

With the current administration in power, how long do you think it would take for the Muslims to start terrorist training camps in the US? Take a guess. Ten years? Twenty?

No. It's going on right here, right now. And you haven't heard about it yet? I wonder why?

Reaction To Netanyahu's Speech

2009-06-15T13:30:00.007-04:00

I've just very slowly read Netanyahu's SPEECH and it looks a lot different to me now than it did last night when I saw only the news headlines claiming he has accepted the concept of a "Palestinian" state.

If you read the speech, you hear a man PLEADING with the world for peace. ALL he asks is that Israel be acknowledged as the Jewish State in the land of Israel, to be allowed just to live in peace.

He made some very good points:

1. It was in this land that Israel was born - no, not only in 1948, but 3,500 years ago. It is where Abraham lived, Isaac, Jacob, King David, Solomon, and the other patriarchs of Israel. In fact (my addition) the land that King David ruled over included much more territory than what Israel presently resides in. It is beyond dispute that this is the land where Israel was born - brought into being by God himself.

2. It's really not about land. He makes the point that the attacks against the present-day Jewish people began long before 1948.

Quote:
"The attacks against us began in the 1920s, escalated into a comprehensive attack in 1948 with the declaration of Israel's independence, continued with the fedayeen attacks in the 1950s, and climaxed in 1967, on the eve of he Six-Day War, in an attempt to tighten a noose around the neck of the State of Israel. All this occurred during the fifty years before a single Israeli soldier ever set foot in Judea and Samaria." (the "west bank")

In other words, it's not about land. Take a look at that land: HERE

3. He makes the point that the "Palestinian" refugee problem will be resolved OUTSIDE of Israel's borders. For those who don't know, the "Palestinians" demand that the "refugees" be allowed to return into Israel proper. Can you imagine hundreds of thousands of Muslim "refugees" pouring into tiny Israel? Did you look at that map???

He goes on to say that at the same time the "refugee" problem began, multiple tens of thousands of JEWS were evicted from all Arab lands where they had lived for millenia. My point: Tiny Israel absorbed their Jewish refugee brothers, the Arab countries should absorb theirs.

4. The two requests Israel makes

First, that the Muslims recognize the State of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people. How can Israel negotiate peace with Muslims who don't even recognize her existence?

Second, that a new "Palestinian" state be demilitarized.
My comments: In 2005, Israel embarked on a very costly experiment. Israel forcibly removed all Jews from the Gaza region. I've been to Gaza, when the Jews lived there. I have pictures of the beautiful greenhouses we visited, the well-kept lands, the thriving community. But in 2005, they were forcibly removed, thousands upon thousands of them, and that land was given over to the "Palestinians." The "Palestinians" thoroughly trashed it. Today it is a heap of poverty and ruination, though tens of millions of dollars were poured into it by the US and the world.

But that's not the main point here. Here's the point: today Gaza is full of "Palestinians" who rain down missiles upon Israel's southern cities daily - tens of thousands of missiles since 2005. So now, they want Israel to give up the "west bank" too? So the same thing can happen there? And make no bones about it because the "Palestinians" don't - that's exactly what would happen. That would be out and out insanity.

Basically, what Netanyahu has said is just let's live side by side in peace, that's all we ask. You can have your "Palestinian" state, we have no desire to rule over you. You'll have your own flag, your own national anthem, your own government. Together we could achieve so much for the next generation of our children.

This is all he said. He submitted to Obama's demand that he stop building settlements or increasing the ones they already have. He's SO willling to venture into peace with the US, the "Palestinians," and the world. All he wants is security for his country. Nothing more.

Warm Muslim Grandfather

2009-04-24T13:23:00.005-04:00

Most of us are used to seeing the diatribes of yelling, screaming Muslim imams whipping up a frenzy of passion to kill the infidels.

They say we can't blame the "moderate" Muslims for the insanity of the radical ones.

Well here's a clip of a nice soft-spoken Muslim man giving a talk. If you were to not read the English subtitles, you'd think this is a nice, grandfatherly elder speaking to nice moderate Muslims about the ways to practice charity in the name of Allah.

So go ahead, listen to this meek and mild teddy-bear of a man. Listen for a bit before you look at the subtitles. Toasty warm ambiance, huh?

Then read the subtitles.

A Response To David Wilkerson’s Message

2009-03-08T10:56:00.011-04:00

Yesterday, David Wilkerson, a much-respected man of God, submitted a warning of a dire calamity to come upon this country. Today his message made Worldnet Daily.

Most believers have known for a long time that judgment will come upon this country.

I want to take a look at the setting.

The Setting

There have been a lot of judgments upon this country already. I believe that 9/11 was a turning point in many ways. For those believing this way, it was obvious that God sent something so severe as to get the attention of every single person, something so terrible that it shook the entire nation. A symbol of America’s wealth came tumbling down in ashes, taking the lives of 3,000 people with it.

America didn’t respond. Oh, people flocked to churches for a couple months; but it was like society discussing a new movie making big news for awhile, then moving on to talk about other things. It did not change the hearts of America as a whole. Evil since then has only increased exponentially.

He sent Katrina, and did it in such a way that there could be no doubt that God was expressing his anger at America’s pressure upon Israel to cede her God-given covenant land to her enemies. Katrina hit just as the last Jewish person was being carried out of Gaza, the result of American pressure upon Israel. The timing was astounding. God was speaking again, but few were listening, except the people who are already in the Kingdom. The American people laughed at us who pointed out the incredible timing. We were scorned for daring to say that Katrina was the direct response from heaven, hitting America on the very day the last Jews were forcibly carried out of their homes.

Then came a multitude of fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, many of which were reported to be “record-breaking.” Damages in the billions of dollars, coast to coast.

Yet since then, multitudes of babies have been murdered. Homosexuals parade in the streets. It’s not just murder and sodomy, it’s ripening degeneracy in general. Rich and powerful men being found out, being exposed as the degenerates they are. Truly, truly, this has become a society in which all that is good is called evil, and all that is evil is embraced under the banner of “tolerance.”

"The Change"

Then along comes a man who wants to bring “change” to America. Change from WHAT? From what George Bush did in response to those 3,000 people murdered in New York? Change from the stands he took against embryonic stem cell research? Change from his standing for marriage being defined as one man joined to one woman? Funny how that word “change” never got defined. It didn’t get defined because it would have been hard to come out and say now’s the time to murder in total freedom, to play with genetics, to sodomize whomever one desires and not lose one’s rights to be homosexual elementary school teachers teaching our children that two daddies or two mommies is “normal.”

Many of us have been putting out warning after warning after warning over the years in response to these things, and have SO felt like Noah must have felt as he built that boat, all the while preaching to the people all around him. Every single person outside of his own family who ever heard that man preach, rejected him. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt? The whole world was against him. Literally. For speaking the truth. We know the rest of the story.

The Big Picture

Let’s step back and take a look at the big picture of American society in this generation.

If you have eyes to see, you'll see a progressive program of intensified evil starting perhaps in the ‘60’s with Madalyn Murray O’Hair. Then came the women’s movement, no more women being women or men being men, let’s just muddy that whole distinction. Then came the “free love” hippies drug culture unleashing unprecedented destruction of youth through mind-altering drugs. Then came the rise of public displays of sodomy in every place in our society, not even stopping at inflicting themselves on our children. Our values have gone down the tubes one after another after another. I would never have believed I’d ever see the day when every single depiction of God, of Jesus, of prayer, of the 10 Commandments, and SO much more, is banned from America. But I've seen that day. We all have.

Scripture tells us that this is exactly the way the “last days” are going to be. See reference Scriptures at the bottom of this message.

The Last Days

Who could doubt that we are in those days?

One of the greatest “signs” Jesus gave of the last days being upon us is the restoration of the nation of Israel. What was said to be totally impossible just a hundred years ago, has happened in the restoration of the Jews to the land of their fathers. Israel, born in a day. In the exact place where it left off.

We look at the alignment of the nations. The very alliances we see in our daily news media are the alliances foretold THOUSANDS of years ago by the prophets. The very nations mentioned in the last-days events are, as we speak, aligned just as they were foretold. Russia, Iran, China, the European confederation, and so on.

What’s missing from the picture?

There’s nothing missing of the “signs” Scripture tells us will indicate the last days. If we connect the dots, the picture is clear. To those who have the eyes to see it.

“The Change” That Will change the Era

And now, the elections of 2008. America has been made ready for “The Change.” A man quickly arises to power, seemingly out of nowhere, a man of Muslim descent, without the ability to prove he’s even an American citizen, who’s spoken openly about his heart towards Islam, who we know was produced by the likes of Jeremiah Wright, who OPENLY speaks of allowing infant murder even after a live birth, who is pro-sodomy, who makes his first official telephone call to the arch-enemy of Israel, and SO much more... and America doesn’t see the whole picture? They swoon at his feet, some calling him the Messiah, others calling him the President of the World...

This train can’t be stopped. I believe America has finally stepped over the line to the place of no return. We’ve had several severe warnings, but America has banished God from society and from their minds, so how on earth are they going to “get it?”

I receive the message David Wilkerson brought. Had he never brought it, most believers have expected something like what he describes anyway.

My conclusion is that we may be facing a time of unprecedented calamity, the very wrath of God upon a God-rejecting society; but also unprecedented opportunity to persuade those who haven’t yet become hardened beyond remedy.

The time is short.

Be prepared.

Hillary's Costly Trip To Israel

2009-03-02T09:31:00.003-05:00

Here we go again.

For those of you who are familiar with the phenomenon concerning judgment on America within 48 hours of America coercing Israel to give up more of her God-given land.....

As America's Secretary of State begins her visit to the Middle East, America is pummelled with a severe blizzard that so far has cost 4 people their lives and that has landed damage in the thousands of dollars upon states from Alabama up to the northeast.

Here are just some of the stats:

4 dead
The blizzard-like snow, sleet, freezing rain and wind gusts of up to 30 mph in Massachusetts, Rhode Island contributed to four deaths on roads in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and on New York's Long Island.

Churches closed in Alabama
-because of snow?!!!

Flights cancelled
100 flights cancelled in Boston alone
100's cancelled in New York
300 flights cancelled in New Jersey

Buses cancelled
Greyhound and Peter Pan bus lines cancelled trips affecting travelers in and out of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

Code Blue in Philadelphia
Philadelphia declared a Code Blue weather emergency, briniging in homeless people to shelters because the weather conditions pose a threat of serious harm or death.

Costs to New Jersey
...in the millions

No electricity
100,000 lose electricity in North Carolina
74, 000 lose power in South Carolina
123,000 lose power in Virginia

So Hillary's visit to Israel today is costing the US in death, massive power outages, and thousands of travellers stranded with flight cancellations.

And she's only just started!

Terrorists Enter Through Fake Marriages

2008-12-04T10:03:00.003-05:00

There's been a lot of talk about the relative ease with which terrorists can gain entrance into the US by crossing unprotected borders.

Well they've devised an easier way. All they have to do is marry an American.

I've known some of these Muslim types, and boy can they turn on the charm. I've watched as they've approached young women tourists and had them leaving with them within a half hour. Smooth, suave, gentle smiling faces, and great swelling words of flattery did the trick and did it quickly. I always wondered what became of those young women.

There was an article on this in WorldNet Daily. Here are some excerpts:

WorldNet Daily
A new report reveals previously deported criminals and terrorists who want to enter or remain in the U.S. can do so by finding an American to marry.

The Center for Immigration Studies reported the most common path to U.S. citizenship or residency for foreign nationals is by marrying an American. More than 2.3 million people entered the U.S. between 1998 and 2007 this way.

According to the report by former consular officer David Seminara, foreigners who wed U.S. citizens receive immediate preference status for immigrant visas. 27 percent of all green cards issued in 2007 were to spouses of Americans.

The problem is evident when one takes into consideration frequent arrests for marriage fraud schemes and the thousands of websites that arrange scam marriages, he said.

He listed the following common types of marriage fraud:

* Mail order bride arrangements
* Phony "arranged" marriages in cultures where arranged marriage
is still common.
* Cash-for-vows weddings, where Americans are paid to wed.
* Friends-and-family plans, where someone pitches in to help get
someone else's spouse to the United States.
* "I do, I don't, I do" marriages where foreign nationals divorce their
spouses in their home countries, marry Americans, and get green
cards two years later; then divorce the Americans, remarry their
original spouses, and petition to bring them to the United States.
* Heartbreakers, where foreigners dupe Americans into believing
their intentions are true, when they actually just want a green card.

Once couples receive conditional status on a foreigner's green card, they are required to stay married for only two years. After that period, they may divorce without consequence.

Seminara reveals criminals and terrorists have caught on to marriage fraud schemes. He referenced Janice Kephart's 2005 report titled, "Immigration and Terrorism," where she outlined how terrorists, including members of al-Qaida, have participated in marriage schemes to remain in the U.S.

"Once in the United States, 16 of 23 terrorists became legal permanent residents, often by marrying an American," Kephart wrote. "Marrying a U.S. citizen is one of the easiest ways to stay in the United States once within the country's borders."

Spanish authorities taped a conversation on May 26, 2004, in which Rebei Osman described the theory "by which the end justifies the means for the cause of jihad:"

Everything is permitted including marrying with Christian women, because we need immigration papers. We have to be everywhere, in Germany, in Holland, in London. We are dominating Europe with our presence. The women serve to obtain documents, because we are in favor of the cause of God.

Seminara said previously deported illegal aliens with criminal records often obtain green cards by marrying U.S. citizens as well.

"For illegal immigrants, finding an American spouse is not just an aspiration, it's a mission, and it is the most common way of returning to the United States for those who have been deported."

Terrorists, Criminal Aliens Marry Americans

Obama America's Downfall

2008-11-02T11:06:00.006-05:00

Many of you may have noticed that I have not gotten very involved in this election process.

I'm not going to go into the reasons why. Those who know me personally know why. To the rest, my reasons wouldn't interest you.

Howeve, now that the date is almost upon us, I will make a statement:

Some Americans will vote for Obama BECAUSE of their dislike of Bush and fear that a McCain presidency would be more of the same.

Would it be? I don't know. But I do know that that is not a good enough reason to vote for Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama stands for everything that is evil. His voting record, his statements, and his associations should make every American, religious or not, shudder.

Obama is a man with such little disregard for human life that he voted three times to let babies die AFTER birth, the ones who have survived attempted abortion.

He is a man who is so insensitive to the Word of God that he is eager to legitimize marriage between people of the same sex, in spite of God's declaration that this is an abomination before him.

He is a man who has shady ties with underworld characters, socialists, communists, and even terrorists.

He is a man who has so little disregard for our Constitution that he's not afraid to called it "a flawed document." That statement alone should raise the hairs on the arms of every American citizen. I can hardly believe the fearless acceptance of this man by intelligent people. How low have we sunk if this awful man becomes the most powerful man in the world.

Though I've not said much, I've been watching nevertheless. And throughout, what has consistently come to mind is that the Bible foretells that in "the last days" the people will be given over to "strong delusion." That passage has come to mind again and again as I've watched the incredible phenomenon of a people swooning over a man such as this. Reminds me of pictures I've seen of the masses cheering Adolph Hitler. I believe the hypnosis Obama has over his swooners is nothing less. This man has succeeded in mesmerizing at least half the adult population of our country. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.

People who spout about the so-called "separation of church and state" want a country without legislation against immorality, BUT they're about to bring in a man who will legislate immorality! A man who will legislate lawlessness. A man who has stood on the side of evil throughout his voting career.

Here's what America is about to choose:
* Abortion on demand.
* All demand for parental notification of minor girls before abortion will be erased from law.
* National legalization of homosexual marriage.
* National legalization of homosexual adoption and teaching the like in public elementary schools.
* Defunding of advanced military weapons development (while we rein in the insane Ahmadinejad with "diplomacy.")
* Criminalizing as "hate speech" any speaking out about evil according to God's Word as given to us in the Bible.
* This man's associations with Islamic figures and organizations forewarn what the US will do concerning Israel.

This is not about political direction, this is about opening the doors for evil to permeate this nation to its very fiber.

America, you want "change?" Oh, you'll get change alright!

"I fear for my country when I reflect that God is just."
Thomas Jefferson

"Just as they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, so will I choose their delusions, and bring their fears on them. Because, when I called, no one answered, when I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight.''
Isaiah 66:3-4

"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

More and more, information continues to come to light about Obama's shady associations, yet the American people ignore it and give him their vote anyway.

The Bible says that in the "last days," people will be given over to delusion. This is a good example of a people totally disregarding the blatant evidence and continuing to back a person regardless of the darkness with which he has been associated.

Sean Hannity of Fox News exposes Obama's ties to a former leading member of the PLO terrorist group. Yes, that's Yasser Arafat's organization.

I first saw this at my friend Abouna's blog:

What's it going to take, people? How do we stop you from electing Hitler all over again? Did you know he rose to power on a platform of "peace"?

Islam Infiltrating Our Schools!

2008-10-03T16:12:00.005-04:00

I am seething. I can hardly believe it.

I should have known, but I just would never have believed that it would happen here.

We've known for a very long time that Islam thoroughly perverts the truth and indoctrinates its children in hatred for everyone and everything not Muslim.

That is, in their elementary schools, right?

Well would you believe ...it's happening here too?!?

Dr. Gary Tobin, president of "The Institute for Jewish & Community Research", along with associate Dennis Ybarra, conducted a study on American textbooks and published their findings in their book, "The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion."

The study reveals that "American public school students are being loaded up with indoctrination about Christianity, Judaism, Islam and the Middle East, to the cost of Christianity and Judaism and the benefit of Islam."

One textbook, "The World," by Scott Foresman, dares say, "Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus."

JESUS, a "Palestinian?" When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, there was no Islam, there was no Mohammed, and Bethlehem was an Israeli town in Judea, Israel, where also King David was born. Both Jesus and David were of the tribe of Judah. Judah, you know, one of the sons of Jacob.

Here's more of what was found AMERICAN textbooks:

* The Arab nations never attacked Israel.

* Arabs nations want peace, but Israel does not.

* Israel expelled all Palestinian refugees.

* Israel put the Palestinians in refugee camps in Arab lands.

* Palestinian terrorism is nonexistent or minimal.

* Israel is not a victim of terrorism.

*Terrorism against Israel is justified.

* U.S. support of Israel causes terrorism, including 9/11.

What you WON'T find, is the fact that Jesus will return as a JEW, to Jerusalem, and will rule on the Throne of David, and the nations that came against Israel will be severely judged. Gee, I wonder why they left that out!

This makes me absolutely livid. In reading the article, I felt a feeling of helplessness come over me. Just yesterday I said to a friend, "What's happening in America reminds me of watching someone die of cancer, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop it."

I said that because that's what I see happening to this once-great nation. Morality has packed up its bags and left, God is banned, evil runs rampant...

And now, Islam is succeeding in taking over bit by bit by bit while we sit back and let it happen as we bow before the god of tolerance! ! !

I believe that Islam is THE tool Satan will use to bring about all that's prophesied concerning "the last days." Who can deny that's it's half-way there already? Look at Europe -in most European countries there are more mosques than churches.

WHY IS IT that the world is just sitting back and letting it happen? Makes me think of that drug that is given in date rape.

Have we gone blind? Have we taken leave of our senses? Are we utterly insane?

I mourn for this country, and not only for this country but for the entire world that is being brought under Islam.

There's no chemotherapy for this one. It's stage four already.

Nothing more to do but to mourn.

Ecumenism And Global Unity

2008-08-18T10:00:00.015-04:00

The post-modern "emerging" church propaganda are being revealed as we move further and further away from a faith founded on the Word of God.

Believers of a variety of faiths are worshipping together. Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Zoroastrian, Judaic, Christian and Islamic texts are read aloud during the same service at a Muslim Sufi religious retreat in New York. The Sufi Muslim retreat leader speaks about Jesus and the peace that he has inside. (warm fuzzies)

"Abode of the Message," a retreat center in New Lebanon, New York: guests are invited to deepen their faith without suggestion to convert to anything.

Buddhists at Zen Mountain Monastery say they see no conflict with Buddhist practice and any person's search for God. (more warm fuzzies)

Elat Chayyim Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, Connecticut, welcomes "seekers who have walked other spiritual paths."

83 percent of mainline Protestants
59 percent of historic black Protestant churches
79 percent of Roman Catholics
82 percent of Jews
56 percent of Muslims
... agree that many religions can lead to eternal life.

Condensed from: Understand The Times
August 18, 2008

So what's the problem with this?

Well, it should be unacceptable to Christians, BECAUSE Christians are those who believe in Jesus Christ and who follow him. Obviously, Christians, by definition, believe what he said. At least that's the way it has been up until this century.

Well, what DID Jesus say?

The New Testament record, written exclusively by eye-witness followers of Jesus, teaches that human beings are born in a state of fallenness. This means that all humans will sin, and sin will bring them to judgment.¹ The good news of the Gospel is that God sent his son Jesus, to bear the judgment for sin on behalf of each sinner, and that those who receive him will have eternal life. The New Testament stresses that we are saved by the blood of the sacrifice God provided. This concept was introduced at the very beginning of the Bible² when the sin of man brought death into the world, both physical and spiritual.

Satan's agenda³ is to dismiss every truth about Jesus Christ. He will attack his deity, his virgin birth, and everything written about Him. He will underplay, ridicule, and steer you away from the concepts of the Cross, and the Blood of Christ. And he will foster every and any other way of religion. From the beginning, Satan's hatred has been against the work of Jesus on the cross.

Do Christians really believe what Jesus said? He said that He came to be the atonement for sinful man, and as the atonement provided by God, there is therefore no other way to salvation.⁴

The Bible speaks of a global religion in "the last days."⁵As one who has been watching these things for more than 30 years, I stand in shock and horror as this very thing evolves into just that. It raises the hair on my arms. As in the days of Noah, the human race is going to perdition on a toboggan slide into hell. Jesus said that the last days would be "As it was in the days of Noah ...." And so it is!⁶

Thirty years ago, it was a stretch to imagine how this global religion could come to be, because the people of most religions were immoveable in their beliefs. But now, in these "last days," that very thing is taking shape right before our eyes. Except, most aren't watching and they're falling for it by the masses.

For those who believe in the Lord Jesus, stay close to him, because it's going to get worse.⁷ Much, much worse. Many think revival is coming. I don't, but I sure hope they're right and I'm wrong. I see the great apostacy,⁸ the falling away as the world sets its heart on global peace, global environmentalism, global warming, the polar bears in the arctic, the fuzzy wuzzies, and all that avoids the one true God and his Word given to us in the Bible. Everything and anything except the Word of God.

Evil progresses at an incredible and alarming pace. Just when you think you've seen the worst, something even more evil comes upon the scene.

Here's something that shows the character of the man who wants to sit in the White House. The alarming part isn't so much what he stands for, as it is the multitudes who are in agreement with him.

I obtained this video from Gayle's Republican Blog. And it was first seen at Abouna's Blog, two good blogging friends of mine.

May God have mercy on us.

I Sure Wouldn't Want To Be In HIS Shoes!

2008-06-27T17:07:00.005-04:00

In these last days, the workings of Satan are just prolific all around us. There has been a palpable change in the atmosphere. Even unbelievers are noticing it. A certain dread in the air as "natural" disasters are occuring all around us.

When I read the following, it was as though I could see the scrunched up face of Satan as he hurled yet another insult at his archenemy, the Messiah of Israel. Well ....I sure wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the man whose lips spoke these words:

Saeb Erekat, senior spokesman for PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas, asserted on Thursday that the "successful" outcome of the land-for-peace process would make a greater impact on the Middle East than that made by Jesus Christ. Erekat, speaking at a conference in Tel Aviv said, "The Israeli and Palestinian leaders who reach an agreement will be more important to the region's history than Jesus."

This reminded me of the following people who are now in their graves:

John Lennon of "The Beatles"
"Christianity will end, it will disappear ....We're more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity."
John Lennon was shot six times.

Marilyn Monroe, actress
After hearing what Billy Graham had to say, she said to him:
"I don't need your Jesus."
One week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

Cazuza, bi-sexual Brazilian composer and singer
During a show in Rio de Janeiro, he puffed out some cigarette smoke into the air and said, "God, that's for you."
He died a horrible death at the age of 32 -of LUNG CANCER.

Bon Scott, singer
In one of his songs he sang:
"Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell."
Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Christine Hewitt, Jamaican journalist
She said the Bible (the Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
She was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Tancredo Neves, President of Brazil
He said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
He got the votes, but a day before being made President he got sick and then he died.

William Pirrie, president of the company that built the Titanic
After the construction, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it."
We all know what happened to the Titanic on its MAIDEN voyage.

Our Morally Bankrupt Justices

2008-06-12T15:38:00.005-04:00

I used to watch "Dragnet" as a kid, and grew up thinking our justice system to be absolutely beyond question. What on earth has happened to our country? We hear reports like the following almost daily, and they expose the morally bankrupt system that presides over our society. I don't know about you, but this makes me nauseous:

Two reports, just from today's news:

Story #1:
The chief judge in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinski, has been caught posting graphic, sexually explicit photos and videos on his website while he's presiding over an obscenity case in Los Angeles.

He said he thought the site was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public. (Yeah, right! Even the dumbest among us would check that out first)

The paper reported images of nudity, genitalia, public sex, bestiality, and graphic images of things too raw to be further enumerated here.

A law professor who specializes in legal ethics, said the judge no longer should be on the case, as "the public can reasonably question his objectivity." The case in question involves a Los Angeles filmmaker accused of distributing criminally obscene sexual-fetish videos. (Maybe the judge will do a plea bargain, if the man will post his stuff on the judge's web site?)

Public access to the site has been blocked after reporters started asking questions.

-----------------------------------------------------

Story #2
Massachusetts Gov. Duval Patrick has appointed lesbian activist Maureen Monks as associate justice of the Middlesex Probate and Family Court, ignoring a dissenting vote by the Massachusetts Governor's Council.

She needed to win 5 votes to be confirmed but only received a 4-4 vote denying confirmation. (Go figure.)

Activist Maureen Monks is co-chair of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, and is an advocate for "gay" and women's rights.

Councilor Mary-Ellen Manning presented a statement explaining her objection to Monks' nomination, saying Monks did not disclose her history of "teaching same-sex marriage concepts to high school students" to the Governor's Council. Manning also said Monks's history shows she is prone to side with women over men and that her appointment would be in conflict with the public's perception of fair treatment. (I think the public has lost hope of "fair treatment.")

Gov. Patrick said he considers the 5-2 verbal vote to be an official count, though the Massachusetts Constitution requires that all official votes be recorded. (But of course! He has a reputation to uphold!)

Muslims Leave God of Hate, Find God of Love

2008-05-30T11:50:00.009-04:00

In the midst of the oppression and despair of multitudes living under Islam, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is visiting many of them personally and touching them with love.

One of the greatest moves of God is taking place right now among Muslim people worldwide. Once they have been touched by love, something never to be found in Islam, hearts are awakened to the knowledge that the great Creator is also the God of love, not hate.

I spent several years in the Middle East, and I'll never forget one conversation with a ten-year-old boy who was selling his wares on the streets. One day this little boy approached us as we sat at a bet-cafe in downtown Jerusalem. My husband spoke Arabic, so I asked him to ask the boy why he was smoking cigarettes at such a young age, and didn't he know it would make him sick and kill him at an early age?

The child answered, "So what? What do I have to live for?"

My heart broke over the absolute despair I saw in the heart of this little child. I have grieved over him in prayer many a time since.

So I take great joy in reporting that a great move of God is taking place among the Muslim peoples. They are coming to faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in record numbers world-wide.

Funny the media aren't talking about it.

Click on the link below to hear the testimony of one young man who was delivered from the deep deception of Islam, upon being visited by the God of love.

Earthquakes!

2008-05-14T15:21:00.008-04:00

It astounds me that the news media aren't picking up on this!

There have been 16 earthquakes of 6.0 or more on the Richter Scale, SINCE JANUARY! ! ! And two more at 5.9.

Why are the media silent?

Jesus, when he told the signs of his coming, named "earthquakes in various places." When we see these, along with the other signs he cited, we are to know we're entering into "the time of sorrows," which will be the last seven years up until his coming. All the signs have to be there at the same time, and He said they will be like birth pains.

"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences (diseases), and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
Matthew 24:8

All Get "Tolerance" EXCEPT Christians

2008-04-18T09:18:00.016-04:00

I believe that there is a tremendous move of Satan himself behind incidents such as the following news item. Take a look and if you're not totally blind (yet), an incident such as depicted below makes it just too obvious.

It doesn't even make common sense. Why are the news media flooded with demands for a forced "separation of chuch and state," but at the same time putting forth the only REAL "discrimination" in this country, which is discrimination against anything Christian?

Anything occult, and anything Muslim, is being allowed everywhere. All Muslim sensitivities are being protected. But at the same time, all expression of Christianity is being feverishly banned.

Occultism, the "New Age" movement, and Islam, are taking over not only this country but most of the world, and anything they want to do in our schools is "tolerated." Yet when you do see anything smacking of real "discrimination," it's almost always against anything Christian.

Can someone explain this to me?

-------------------------------------------------------

The news item:

A court in Wisconsin has been asked to suspend immediately a policy in theTomah Area School District that bans Christian symbols in students' artwork, but allows Hindu, Buddhist and satanic representations. ( ! ! ! )

The Alliance Defense Fund launched a lawsuit on the student's behalf after a teacher refused to give him a grade on a project because his work included "John 3:16" as well as "As sign of love."

The school district, however, openly acknowledged and publicized various pieces of "art" representing Buddhism, and Hinduism as well as several Satanic-looking demon faces.

Allowing demonic depictions by some students while prohibiting Christian religious expression in artwork by others is a blatant violation of the Constitution," said a senior ADF legal counsel.

The lawsuit was filed late last month after the student's artwork was rejected, then he was told he had signed away his First Amendment rights at the beginning of the semester in order to participate in the class. At the time he signed the policy, he had no idea that it would be so restricting of religious expression in the class.

Further, the student is a minor and was denied the opportunity "to seek advice from counsel" before being required to sign, ADF said.

The ADF's motion noted: "While penalizing A.P.'s religious expression, defendants prominently displayed in the school's hallway a large painting of a six-limbed Hindu woman riding a swan figure. …Elsewhere, on a hallway bulletin board, there hangs a drawing of a robed sorcerer." A Hindu fountain that also was allowed.

The law firm said the district displays artwork reflecting Hindu, Buddhist and Satanic themes all over. "It is displayed in classrooms, including the very classroom where district officials met to reiterate to A.P. that his Christian religious expression warranted no constitutional protection," the law firm said.

"The fact that the student was not only refused a grade on the project, but given two detentions creates "a draconian atmosphere …that evinces a manifest hostility toward Christianity," he said.

"An incredible fact in this case is that in the very same room in which defendants Jackson, Millin, and Genrich conducted their parent-teacher conference with A.P. and his family – and reiterated their policies banning student religious expression in class assignments – defendants displayed student drawings of the Greek goddess Medusa, a demonic figure with horns, scales, and protruding tongue, several demonic masks, and a drawing of the Grim Reaper, holding a scythe," he said.

"Here, the school permits some religious expression in its classrooms and hallways, as long as it is not Christian religious expression," the ADF said.

British Insanity

Have you ever read, "The Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis? If not, order it on Amazon.com and read it. It will give you clear and stunning insight into SO MANY unexplainable happenings in society.

If you have read it, you'll understand this picture that came into my mind after reading the Worldnet Daily article below:

Muslims: "Let's buy our way into the universities so
we can brainwash up-and-coming youth and make
them putty in our hands."

Brits: "Ok. We do need to express tolerance to all
peoples."

Hold that picture as you read this news item:

----------------------------------------------------------------

April 14, 2008
WorldNetDaily

Jonathan Evans, director-general of the (British) Security Service, MI5, has warned the government that donations of hundreds of millions of pounds from Saudi Arabia and powerful Muslim organizations in Pakistan, Indonesia and the Gulf Straits have led to a "dangerous increase in the spread of extremism in leading university campuses," according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Eight of Britain's leading universities have accepted more than 236 million pounds sterling, about $460 million, in donations from Muslim organizations, "many of which are known to have ties to extremist groups, some have links to terrorist organizations."

A major donation has included 20 million pounds sterling from the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia to help establish the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies, which will be affiliated to the university when it opens next year.

A lengthy investigation revealed 70 percent of political lectures at the Middle Eastern Center at St. Anthony’s College in Oxford were "implacably hostile to the West and Israel."

"Up to 48 universities in Britain have been infiltrated by fundamentalists financed by Muslim groups. The potential threat this poses is obvious to the security of the country," said Prof. Anthony Glees, director of Brunel University's Center for Intelligence and Security Studies.

However, Prime Minister Gordon Brown insists it is strategically "important to study Islam." He has authorized one million pounds sterling to be spent at the campuses on a counter radicalization drive. ( ! ! ! )

Our Rights As Christians Slowly Vanishing

2008-04-12T09:15:00.002-04:00

I've been saying it for a long time: the word "tolerance" will be what will bring this country down. Satan has convinced us that "tolerance" is an inalienable right and uppermost in importance in this downward-spiraling society. All expression of morality will be censored and suppressed until we have a police state by, with, and for the practictioners of evil.

Case #1:

Christian Photographers Fined For Refusing Same-sex Ceremony
State hits couple with $6,600 penalty for violating anti-discrimination law

The state of New Mexico has ordered a family-owned photography company to pay more than $6,600 for declining a demand to take pictures at a same-sex ceremony, and a lawyer who is working on an appeal says it is an example of how "non-discrimination" or "hate" laws can be weapons in the hands of homosexual activists.

"The Constitution prohibits the state from forcing unwilling people to promote a message they disagree with and thereby violate their conscience," said Jordan Lorence, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund. "The commission's decision shows stunning disregard for our client's First Amendment rights, and we will appeal…" he said.

In its ruling this week, the commission found: "Vanessa Willock proved her discrimination claim based on sexual orientation." The Christian couple was ordered to pay Willock $6,637.94.

"There is a great threat to our religious liberties and our ability to speak out in favor of traditional marriage when these non-discrimination laws are interpreted in such a harsh way to censor Christians and others," he said.

Case #2:

Prof To Student: Keep The Faith, Lose The Grade
April 11, 2008

The ACLJ said it is representing Gina DeLuca, a student who has been punished with lower grades and has been labeled "closed-minded" by a professor, because he demands that students acknowledge the possibility that God does not exist in order to participate in his philosophy class, which is required for graduation.

In the letter to Suffolk County Attorney Christine Malafi, the ACLJ explained the problem started when DeLuca took the required philosophy class. She's been a student at the school for two years, and holds a 3.9 grade point average. She even got good grades in the philosophy class "until her religious beliefs became known," the organization said.

In addition to the lower grades, the ACLJ said, the professor has called the student "closed-minded," "uncritical," "hurtful," and "blinded by belief."

"While a college professor may encourage students to be informed about viewpoints and arguments that differ from their own, it is inappropriate – and unconstitutional – for a public college professor to make passing a required course (and thus graduation) contingent upon a student's willingness to express agreement with philosophical viewpoints that conflict with her religious beliefs," the ACLJ said.

Obama's Religion

2008-03-27T20:11:00.011-04:00

This is a controversial subject, I know. It's a question that should not have been asked, in my opinion. Nevertheless, here it is. And I need to comment on it. See the reference news report below, after my comments.

Barak Obama says he believes Christ died for his sins.

Hold it right there. Does he really believe that? Look, he's a politician drooling over the big win. A lot is said for effect. A lot of planning goes into what is said publicly by the ones campaigning. They play to the audience. They say what they think will be most successful in getting votes. So. Is Obama playing to the conservative Christian vote? Listen, it would be a cold day in hell before any candidate wanting to win this election would say something like, "keep your religious convictions to yourself, I'm not interested." But I suspect that's actually closer to the truth than anything either candidate has actually said.

Obama's next words prove the point. He goes on to say that those of other beliefs are also "children of God." And that his mother is in heaven because she was a kind and generous person.

1. NO ONE goes to heaven on the basis of being kind and generous.

2. The Jesus who Obama says he believes in said the following:
....""I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
..... Father except through Me."
..... John 14:6

Jesus said he is the one way, and that no one gets there other than through him. You can't claim Jesus died for your sins, and then reject what this same Jesus said about salvation.

Some of you are thinking, "how narrow!" Well Jesus had something to say about that too:

"...narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are FEW who find it." Matthew 7:14

Obama's words are just that - just words. Conjured up words according to what he thinks he needs to say to get the vote.

"They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds."
..Jude 1:12

Obama Contends Belief In Jesus Christ Not Necessary For Salvation
AP - 3/27/2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.

During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he "can have everlasting life" because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much "children of God" as he is. The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn't share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he's "sure she's in heaven."

In his life and in his politics, Obama said he asks himself, "How can I apply Jesus's teachings in a very concrete way?" (NOT the way you're doing it now, Obama!)

Obama's religious beliefs have been put in the spotlight over recent revelations about his former pastor. Videotapes of some of Pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons have been described as being racist and anti-America. Yesterday, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president referred to those sermon remarks as being "stupid," but he continues to reject suggestions that he should have left the church because of that kind of preaching from his pastor.

Obama Renounces Former Pastor?

2008-03-15T08:51:00.007-04:00

So Obama denounces the hate-filled, anti-America words of his pastor, Jeremiah Wright Jr, which were made public this week. Yep, Obama "vehemently condemns" his pastor's words.

Do you believe that?

Ok, picture this:
Obama sits with his campaign counselors and they have to come up with a way to counter the very campaign-damaging remarks made by his pastor of 20+ years. Picture yourself a fly on the wall during this campaign-planning session. Obviously Obama can't say to the public, "yea, he said those things and that's part of the reason I've stayed in his church for 20 years." Whew, can't say that! And we can't ignore the statements either, that would be campaign suicide.

So ok. The pastor's statements are so damaging to the campaign, the question now is how do we undo this? And the results of this damage-control session are:

"Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and
strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject
of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement
that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from
our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals
have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the
campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright
the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue."

Well ......what else COULD he say?

His speech writer should get a raise.

So. Well. Do you believe the sentiments Obama gave the public as a counter to the vitriol coming from his pastor?

If you do, I've got a bridge to sell you...

The news out today reports the illustrious pastor as saying America created the Aids epidemic to keep the rich rich and the poor poor!!! Oh my, back to the drawing board!

Obama's Former Pastor Speaks For God

2008-03-14T08:50:00.011-04:00

When you hear the word "church," what comes to your mind? Used to be church was a place to go to worship God and be fed on his Word. Used to be, you heard the gospel story, that we are sinners hopelessly fallen and in need of the Savior. Used to be about the sacrifice God provided in Jesus for our salvation.

When you hear the words "church" and "Obama" in the same paragraph, don't think they are referring to any of the above. Here's a quote from Obama's "pastor," Jeremiah Wright:

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God d--- America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God d--- America for treating our citizens as less than human. God d--- America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." Worldnet Daily

God WHAT????

If you want a feel for the soul of this "pastor," take a look at this short video. He does refer to Jesus at the very end, but only in the context of having Jesus validate what he, the pastor, is saying.

The reverend Wright needs to go back to Bible school!

Hillary's Health Care Plan - Could Kill You!

Media Ignore Earthquakes

2008-02-25T15:13:00.009-05:00

There's a phenomenon I've been observing recently. Incredibly, since January 22 there have been 13 earthquakes of 6.0 or above. What I find odd is that the news media haven't covered them except to briefly mention each one shortly after occurring, and not to follow up or mention them at all again.

I've witnessed an earthquake of 4.3 and that was so loud and tremulous that I thought a 747 had crashed right outside my window. If every 1 point on the Richter scale is 10 times greater than the one before, I can't imagine an earthquake of 6.0 or more. Yet the media are silent about these. How can it be that we've had THIRTEEN in just 4 weeks, and it's escaped notice???

Take a look at the chart below. I included a couple more of lesser intensity only because they happened in Israel and as you know, I watch Israel closely.

It's crucial to be observant, to be watching, especially in these times. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because they couldn't discern the times. Here was the Messiah standing right in front of them and they didn't "get it."

I believe that in this generation, VERY few will "get it," because most just aren't watching. Sometimes I can relate to the frustration Noah must have felt as he warned the people over the many years it took him and his sons to build the ark.

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away..."
Matthew 24:37-39

When his disciples asked Jesus about the signs of his coming, he said, "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.''
Luke 21:36

This isn't a suggestion, folks, it's a command. And your life could depend on whether or not you heed it.

Bush –Chief Prince of Meshech And Tubal?

2008-01-27T20:28:00.001-05:00

At the beginning of this month, Israel’s Sanhedrin prepared a scroll, a document entitled “Megillat Bush,” to be given to President George Bush as he arrived in Israel. In the scroll, he is called, “Gog, the Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal.”

This title is taken from Ezekiel chapter 38 which says in part, “Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal….” and goes on to describe a world leader leading a confederacy of nations against the nation of Israel which God has restored to her land: “...gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate…” The Scripture goes on to say, "...and it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, says the Lord God, that My fury will show in My face….” and “all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence.”

Now back to the Scroll...

The occasion of the Scroll presented by the Sanhedrin was Bush’s visit to Israel and then to Saudi Arabia, in essence to carve out of Israel’s heartland a “Palestinian State.”

Interestingly, on the very day Bush arrived in Israel, 37 “rogue” tornadoes tore through the heartland of America, devastating parts of Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Arkansas. The Associated Press described the storms as "a freak cluster of tornados." One resident said, "To see something like this in January is mind-boggling to me. This is just unimaginable to me."

One of those tornadoes tore through a town called Jerusalem, Arkansas -in case we didn't get the message - destroying Mt. Zion Church and killing a 61-year-old man.

Back again to the Scroll:

“The Land of Israel was bequeathed to the nation of Israel by the Creator of the world,” says the Scroll. “...Do you imagine you can escape from the struggles in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon, by offering up sacrifices of the Jews who are slaughtered daily by their enemies who speak of peace but live by the sword?

... No government in Israel and no representative of the Jewish people has the power or right to alter, by even the slightest degree, our covenant with God and the words of our holy Torah, which are everlasting, as expressed by the prophets of Israel…”

Now, I’m not saying that Bush is or isn’t the “Gog” referred to in the passage in Ezekiel. But here’s a tidbit of information that’s intriguing. Both George Bush and his father, former president George Bush Sr., belong to a secret society at Yale University called “The Skull And Bones Society.” Very little information is known about the inner workings of this society due to its extremely secretive nature. It has been linked with occult activities and grueling initiations involving sexual rites and vows of secrecy on the penalty of death.

But here’s the tidbit:
George Bush Sr.’s given name in the society is “Magog.”

Seeing They Do Not See -Hearing They Do Not Hear

2007-10-23T19:01:00.001-04:00

As if the tornadoes that wreaked havoc across the south and central areas of the country weren't enough, it seems the message couldn't be louder or clearer now as one quarter of the California coastline is on fire.

We're meddling in Israel again - big time - and judgment is falling again in what has been clearly demonstrated as a principle: meddle in God's restoration of Israel and you'll have hell to pay. That is GOD'S land, HANDS OFF, America, you should know better, you have the Bible which tells the whole story. But yeah, I know, we've given it the boot as we've done to God himself.

If you're not following me, scroll down and read the post of October 19.

More than 540 thousand people have been evacuated as the fires spin out of control. This is the largest movement of Americans since the Civil War. The damage is already in the billions of dollars, with no end yet in sight.

Yet plans are still set for the summit in Annapolis next month. And mega-pressure is being put onto Israel by the American government to cede yet more of her land so that the "Palestinians" can establish a "Palestinian state" within Israel's borders. And the topic of dividing Jerusalem is again on the table.

Please take a look at this. Take a look at "Israeli occupation of Arab lands." Take a look at why more Arabs need more land in this land mass. TELL me someone, if this makes any sense:

Click Here

Now tell me the "Palestinians" need more of ISRAEL'S land for ANOTHER state.

Seeing, they do not see. And hearing, they do not hear. Oh America, you're going down.

No, We Do NOT All Worship The Same God -Listen Online

2007-10-22T14:26:00.000-04:00

My pastor's sermon of yesterday is I believe the best I've ever heard. It is very timely especially in the wake of President Bush's recent remark: "I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That's what I believe."

This sermon has been posted online. PLEASE, don't miss this. He explains why we do NOT all worship the same God.

Please listen very closely to this word, and then, if you will, forward the link to everyone on your email list. This is a tremendously important message and I'm hoping it will be heard everywhere.

Here's the link. Advise your readers to listen to the first one on top dated October 21, 2007, entitled "Messianic Ontology For Occipital Clarity, Part 5." Don't let the title scare you, the sermon is in plain English :-)

More Judgment Upon Our Country

2007-10-19T08:45:00.000-04:00

Earlier this week I alerted some friends to take note that Condoleeza Rice has gone to Israel to prepare for the US-led summit to be held next month in the US. She's putting pressure big-time on the Israeli government to formally establish a Palestinian state within Israel's borders, and even cede some parts of Jerusalem. While in Israel this time, she has made very severe statements along these lines.

Many of you know that I've been watching for some time now the correlation between US pressure upon Israel and judgment upon this country, usually immediately, after the President or Secretary of State goes to Israel with such intent.

Please take a look at this morning's headlines from Fox News. And by the way, this venture to Israel is not over yet and is the preparation work leading up to the November summit.

Heaven will not be silent while the US, a supposedly Bible-based country, sticks its finger in God's eye right in the midst of God's long-prophesied program of restoring the children of Jacob back to the land of their fathers, which is well underway. This was the first time I've alerted people before the fact to watch for judgment as our government begins another horrendous pressure upon Israel to cede parts of her land to her enemy.

Storms Rip Through Kentucky, Michigan After
Wreaking Havoc in Plains, South

Storms that raked the Plains and Southeast on Thursday tossed a mobile home in Missouri, killing both people inside, and spawned a tornado in Florida that sent mall shoppers and children at a day care center running for cover.

The storms continued throughout the day, pelting downtown Chicago with hail during the evening rush hour and spawning tornadoes in Kentucky and Michigan as they swept eastward, officials said.

In rural northeastern Missouri, the state Highway Patrol said Kent Ensor and Kristy Secrease had sought refuge in Secrease's mobile home in Monroe County as a tornado approached. Their bodies were found about 400 feet from where the home had been. The mobile home's frame was found three-quarters of a mile away, with debris as far as two miles away. The National Weather Service said the had winds as high as 135 mph.

A line of storms ripped through northern Michigan on Thursday night, destroying several homes, overturning vehicles and leaving at least one person dead, authorities said. The 29-year-old victim was trapped inside his house after strong winds took the structure down around him. Kalkaska County sheriff's deputies confirmed the death, and said a couple trapped in another demolished house was taken to the hospital.

The National Weather Service said at least one and as many as five tornadoes touched down in Michigan. Outside of Lansing, seven homes in Shiawassee County were damaged and a semi-trailer reportedly flipped, authorities said.

A tornado Thursday morning in Pensacola, Fla., damaged the city's major shopping mall. A department store stock manager, said he heard the wind outside the store suddenly speed up and get louder. Then mall security guards entered the store and ordered 200 to 300 employees and shoppers into the basement. In downtown Pensacola, electricity was out and streets filled up with several inches of water from the rain.

The manager of the mall's Express for Men store, said water poured in from her shop's damaged ceiling. In downtown Pensacola, electricity was out and streets filled up with several inches of water from rain.

High winds injured three people in Arkansas on Wednesday, the state Department of Emergency Management said. A tornado also destroyed five mobile homes and damaged four houses.

Greater Little Rock Baptist Church's roof was damaged, as was its day care center. But the children there had been moved to safety before the tornado struck. "They heard the warnings, grabbed the kids and followed the drill."

Jack Cullen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, confirmed that a tornado touched down shortly before noon.

The severe weather continued into the night. Thunderstorms injured four people in a mobile home west of Louisville, Kentucky. Four more people were hurt when a mobile home in Sebree, Ky., collapsed because of strong winds, state police said.

Possible tornadoes were reported Thursday night in Illinois and Indiana. Winds reached 80 mph in New Amsterdam, Indiana. A sudden downpour belted downtown Chicago just as people left work, sending commuters scurrying into buildings to avoid strong winds, hail and horizontal rain. An 11-year-old boy was in stable condition after being struck by lightning.

To the West, a falling tree injured a woman and more than 220,000 customers lost power at the height of the storm.

The night before in Tulsa, Okla., more than 7,000 people were at the Oktoberfest festival when the tents collapsed. Five of those hurt remained hospitalized Thursday, and three were in serious condition with head injuries, concussions and lacerations.

North of Tulsa, five people were injured and 25 mobile homes and travel trailers were damaged when the storm hit a mobile home park between Oologah and the Washington County line.

The Falling Away

2007-10-12T10:38:00.000-04:00

"...for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first..."
2nd Thessalonians 2:3

A Catholic parish serving Communion to members of the ultra anti-God, anti-Catholic "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," whose mockery of Christianity is legend in the city. The service was captured on video by a member of the Catholic group, St. Joseph's Men Society.

"I doubt that even Judas would have done such a perverse thing as this," said Anthony Gonzales, president of the men's organization. "Not only did Archbishop Niederauer sell out our Lord but deliberately crucified Him again within the very sanctuary of the church that he was consecrated to protect. If Rome does not remove him immediately from his position and excommunicate him for this evil, then Rome itself becomes complicit in the crime."

The archbishop said he didn't notice anything unusual about the members of the congregation to whom he served Communion. "I noticed no protest, no demonstration, no disruption of the Sunday Eucharist," he said. "The congregation was devout and the liturgy was celebrated with reverence. (???) Toward the end of the Communion line two strangely dressed persons came to receive Communion. I did not see any mock religious garb. As I recall, one of them wore a large flowered hat or garland."

The service was held just days after downtown San Francisco was flooded with open nudity, public acts of sex and other activities related to the Folsom Street homosexual sex fair. Catholics had earlier reacted to the event itself by calling for a boycott of the Miller Brewing Co. after the beer giant failed to have its logo removed from a "gay" festival promo mocking the Last Supper scene of Jesus Christ and his disciples.

"Just when you thought it couldn't get any wackier ("evil" would be more like it): on Sunday, just a week after the depraved, nudity-filled 'Folsom Street Fair,'the city's Archbishop, George Niederauer, has been photographed giving Communion to two Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in their mock nun outfits," said a statement from AFTAH. AFTAH chief Peter LaBarbera explained that the "Sisters" are men who dress up in outlandish outfits and white make-up to mock Catholic nuns. They adopt sexualized names including "Sister Porn Again" and their motto is "Go forth and sin some more."

"Archbishop did not condemn the depravity of Folsom Street Fair, which occurred right in front of one of his own parishes, or the blasphemous antics of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence there. Yet one week later, he gave Holy Communion, which Catholics believe is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, to these same twisted 'sisters' who were dressed in full drag costumes," said Allyson Smith, an analyst for Americans for Truth.

Said Andrew, "What an abomination! It just boggles my mind and even my whole being that the Archbishop actually participates in this total desecration of the Holy Eucharist. He who should be defending the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ is a willful conduit to this abomination. It's very terrible and very sad – there's no words to describe it."

The Folsom Street Fair broke into the headlines with its promotional image mocking the Last Supper scene of Jesus Christ and his disciples, replacing the Biblical leaders with leather-adorned men and the bread and wine with sex toys.

Might Homosexuality Be Demonic?

2007-09-18T23:23:00.002-04:00

Before posting an article someone sent me today, I want to say this first.

People, including pastors, have rebuked me for saying that homosexuality is something that sometimes, maybe most times, the person is born with. I have reasons to believe that. Hear me out.

I was 5 months into my walk with the Lord. We were about to go to Boston to what would be the first Christian conference I ever attended. Just prior to that, I had read Don Basham's book "Deliver Us From Evil," which is an expose on the activity of demon spirits - both as presented in the Bible, and as experienced by many people even in this generation. I was a bit skeptical - I mean, DEMONS???? I wouldn't even have said the word out loud. I mean!!!!

But after reading that book, I prayed. I asked the Lord to show me if this is true. I wasn't asking him to show me at the conference, it was just coincidental that I had read that book at that time.

It was a wonderful conference, one I'd never forget for the rest of my life. The worship was outstanding. The seminar teachings were tremendous. But at the end of one of the morning sessions, I stayed behind because I wanted to ask questions about the "Baptism in the Holy Spirit." So the people I was with left, and I approached one of the ministers, asking to further clarify this subject to me, and he was happy to further instruct me on it.

After maybe five minutes, I heard a sound, an unearthly sound such as I had never ever heard before. The hairs on my arms stood up. I thought an animal had come into the hall, and I turned around to look. It wasn't an animal. The minister speaking with me told me not to watch that, but how could I help it? There in the back of the hall were two ministers, one on each side of a young man of about 20 years old. The young man's hair and clothing were saturated and matted with sweat and he looked like a piece of limp spaghetti. The ministers on each side of him were commanding an evil spirit to leave him, and each time they made the command, the spirit within the young man screeched out in a voice that sounded like an animal and said "this is my home, I've been in him since before he was born, and I am NOT going to leave." And then it would shake the boy up. But the ministers continued to command the spirit to leave saying, "you may have been here since before he was born, but he has stated with his own mouth that he is no longer in agreement with you, and wants you OUT. So you most certainly ARE going to leave, because we are commanding you in the Name of Jesus to leave him. It was a spirit of homosexuality.

This went on, back and forth, for several minutes. It was the most awful thing I'd ever seen in my life. I lost all interest in the minister who I had asked questions of, and just watched this spectacle taking place right before my eyes. Finally, the Name of Jesus prevailed, and after convulsing the young man, the spirit left him. The young man was so overcome that I wouldn't have been surprised if they found he was dead. But he wasn't, and finally they got him up and seated him in the chair. The ordeal was over with.

The next morning, I saw that same young man in the hall, and his entire countenance had changed. It was almost as though he shined, and I knew I had witnessed the power of God. And after musing on that for awhile, I suddenly remembered the questions I had asked of the Lord before going to the conference, "Are these things real? Are there actual demon spirits in the world today? Can they take over a part of a person's personality???" I never expected such a demonstration as an answer, but boy, now I knew for sure! And as the years went by, I would see more and more of this and I learned beyond the shadow of any doubt that this is real, it happens today, and furthermore, it is NOT uncommon.

I'm posting the following article which someone sent me today. Please read it with what I have said in mind. This is real, folks.

The Article:

Sieging Hell and Bringing Heaven to Earth

Fifty or so young people gathered on Oak Lawn Avenue, positioning themselves on the sidewalk outside of JR’s Bar and Grill, one of many nightclubs found in this neighborhood, which is well-known for it’s large population of homosexuals.

The group stays in a tight circle, praying and singing worship songs and asking God for holiness. They are there to confront the spirit of perversion.

Unlike a political protest that is against something, a purity "Siege" is for something …holiness. It is on-location prayer taking place at sites of “impurity,” and is just one way people are participating in the I-35 Highway of Holiness movement, which is part of Light the Highway, a worldwide movement to bring reformation to cities, regions and entire nations as thousands of believers commit themselves to personal and corporate holiness.

As the prayer and worship continue, the power of God falls, and the young people start evangelizing, talking to, and praying for people including homosexuals, transgenders and transvestites. They share with them how God loves them, and that through the power of Jesus Christ, they can be set free from their sinful lifestyle. The purpose of the Siege was not to communicate a message of hate or exclusion, but rather, a message of love, forgiveness, acceptance and freedom.

The response is overwhelming as people begin to fall on the ground under the power of the Holy Spirit, and others begin making proclamations, saying they want to leave their lifestyle and be set free.

On this evening, those present continued to intercede for five hours. One of the most astounding encounters of the evening was that of James, a 19 year-old homosexual atheist, who called the police in an effort to stop the Siege. One of the men from the Siege struck up a conversation with him, and James eventually stated that he had never accepted Christ nor felt the power of God. The young man told James he was about to experience something that would change his life, and that is exactly what happened. James was one of many who fell under the power of the Holy Spirit that night. He then accepted Christ as his Savior, and was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues.

James had intended to propose to his male partner that evening, and wore on his finger the ring he was going to give him. However, after he encountered Christ, he discovered the ring now bore the imprint of a cross. Somehow that ring, a symbol of his old lifestyle, got marked with a cross! Later, a jeweler looked at the ring and confirmed that this alteration of the metal just does not happen. We serve a miraculous God!

Immediately, James packed his Jeep and moved in with five students who attend Heartland School of Ministry, a Bible college in Irving, Texas. He left his family, his partner, everything he knew, and everything that identified him with his past. Now his plan is to attend Heartland School of Ministry. In an interview, James said, “I am willing to talk to any homosexual, drug addict or sex addict because I've known what hell feels like, but now I know what heaven feels like and it is so much better.”

If you would like to participate in Purity Sieges happening in your area, you can go to the Purity Siege page at our Light the Highway website and find out what is happening.

If you are in the Dallas area, and would like to participate in a Purity Siege with the team from Heartland World Ministries or if you would like to plan your own Purity Siege, contact Joe Oden for more information at: joe@joeodenministries.com

Words Few Dare To Speak

2007-09-14T17:53:00.000-04:00

One of my pet peeves has always been seeing good men who speak hard truth, then turn around and apologize for it after someone complained. I appreciate men who DARE speak the truth and that, publicly, regardless what the cost might be. Bill Keller's program was dropped by CBS because of his statements about Islam. I hope someone else will bring him onboard, because what he has to say needs to be said by SOMEONE, but few have the courage to do so. Here's some of what he had to say in a message to Osama bin Laden:

"Osama, since you seem to be a fan of video messages, I thought this would be the best way to communicate with you," says Bill Keller, host of the Florida-based "Live Prayer" TV program.

"Look at you, look at your life," Keller says. "You live like a hunted goat in caves, totally dependent on a small group of people for your survival. At any moment, one of those you trust could betray you ...and your life would be over. The false prophet you follow, Mohammad, was poisoned to death by one of his wives." Keller continues: "It is against the most basic standard of good and evil that your life, Osama, will be judged by historians and future generations to be one of pure, unbridled evil."

Keller has harsh words not only for bin Laden, but for Islam, as well.

"You followed the same path as the false prophet you have put your faith in – Mohammad – who, like you, was once a businessman, but who history has recorded was nothing more than a murdering pedophile who led men's souls to eternal damnation with the false religion he created," Keller says. "Islam is a 1,400-year-old lie that was born out of the voice of Satan – literally. Mohammad was correct when he stated it was Satan who initially spoke to him. He dreamed up his own god, Allah ...and his own "holy" book, the Quran, a cheap imitation of the inspired, inerrant Word of God found in the Bible."

"There are no virgins waiting for you in Paradise when you die, only Satan and the everlasting punishment of hell," said Keller.

"The good news I have come to deliver to you is that you, yes, even you Osama, can escape God's wrath. He loves mankind so much, that He sent Jesus to die for our sins, all of them, every last one! Yes Osama, even you can be saved and enter into the Glory of Heaven -not some fictitious place called "paradise" with women waiting to have sex with you, but the home of God where you can find eternal peace and rest when your life on this earth is over."

He also directed some harsh words to Adam Gadahn, the former California heavy-metal music aficionado who converted to Islamism and joined al-Qaida.

"First off, you are out of your mind!" Keller says. "I read your life story. Your hero Osama was born into this lie of Islam. But you were born here in the United States, exposed to the Truth of God's Word, yet you rejected that Truth and embraced the lie of Islam? You listened to too much heavy metal music dude! It rotted your brain. Look at you. You are now living like a hunted dog in the middle of hell on earth. You are using your life to further the hatred and murder and evil of this street gang you have joined. Haven't you figured out their only goal is death and destruction?"

Last month, a CBS television station in Tampa, Florida, announced it was taking "Life Prayer With Bill Keller" off the air after the local chapter of the Concil on American-Islamic Relations complained of the views Keller expressed.

Bill Keller, I hope you don't recant under pressure because what you have to say is the truth, and it needs to be said.

We Are Not of Those "Evangelicals"

2007-08-29T12:19:00.000-04:00

Recently, a group of 34 Evangelical Christian leaders in America wrote an open letter to U.S. President George W. Bush to register their support for his efforts to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and to clarify that not all Evangelicals oppose such a "resolution" of this long-running dispute.

We cannot agree with the historical and moral equivalence that these Christian leaders have drawn between Israel and the Palestinians, nor with their exegesis of Scripture.

The Jewish people have an ancient claim and attachment to the Land of Israel dating back 4000 years to the Hebrew Patriarch Abraham. There they became a nation that made universal contributions to all humankind, not least of which are the Bible and the Messiah that we Christians hold so dear.

The Jews have returned to their ancient homeland many centuries after being violently uprooted from it not once, but twice.

The Palestinians, on the other hand, have never built an independent nation here and have made no positive contributions of note to the world. Palestinian nationalism began a mere 40 years ago and only then due to the movement’s adoption of terrorist tactics. It is an historic fact that at every point in which the Jewish people agreed to a two-state solution, the Palestinian Arabs have rejected such compromise in favour of violent 'resistance' to any expression of Jewish presence in the land.

As a result, most Evangelical Christians distrust Palestinian intentions and are highly skeptical (an understatement if ever there was one!!!) about the merits of a two-state solution, as do a great many Israelis.

At the same time, this does not mean we are "blocking" peace in the Middle East. The blame for that lies largely with the militant Islamic elements that seek Israel's destruction.

It is our assessment that the Evangelicals writing to President Bush were nonetheless able to place Israel and the Palestinians on an equal footing because of two theological errors:

1) A failure to grasp the Biblical paradox of 'free grace' versus 'divine election,' and
2) Their adherence to the vestiges of a false doctrine known as "Replacement Theology."

It is clear from the Bible that God indeed loves all men, whether Israelis, Palestinians or others. Yet it is equally true that God in His sovereignty calls and elects certain vessels for His eternal purposes. "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated," affirms Romans 9:13. God established a unique relationship with Israel for the purpose of world redemption, and that relationship is enduring and has no equivalent whatsoever on the Palestinian side, the children of Ishmael and of Esau.

It is our belief that God's covenants with Israel are as valid today as when He first swore two irrevocable and unconditional oaths to Abraham:
1) To bless or redeem the world through Abraham's seed (Genesis 12:1-3), and
2) To deliver the Land of Canaan to Abraham's natural descendants as an "everlasting possession" (Genesis 17:8).

Both the people and the land of Israel were chosen for the purpose of world redemption, and to remove either one from the equation nullifies the Abrahamic covenant, and by extension even our own salvation as New Testament believers. Why? Because according to the Apostles' teaching it would render God a liar and absolutely untrustworthy (see Romans 3:1-4; Hebrews 6:13-20).

Yet many Christians ignore or demean the land component of the Abrahamic Covenant, even though the Bible lays emphasis on it throughout its pages. When the Psalmist describes the covenant with Abraham, he stresses the land promise and its validity for "a thousand generations" (Psalm 105:8-12). Nothing in the New Testament abrogates or nullifies this land promise (see Romans 3:3; II Timothy 2:13; Galatians 3:15-17).

In the Mosaic covenant, God places conditions on Israel's right to enjoy possession of that which they already own (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28). Israel's loss of domicile in the land has never meant her loss of title to the land (Leviticus 26:44-46). Even the past 2000 years of exile is not a sign of Israel's rejection before God; rather God was simply keeping His side of the 'bargain' made at Sinai. Thus in Israel's exiles we see God's righteous and just character, but in Israel's returns we see His faithfulness and favour (Psalm 102:13).

In the end, Abraham was promised not only a ‘seed’ to bless the whole earth, but also the physical land of Israel as an ‘everlasting possession.’

We will not be part of any effort to force Israel to divest herself from her land inheritance.

Olmert Has Dared To Offer Up The Temple Mount!

2007-08-29T11:00:00.000-04:00

For the second time in two weeks, journalists are reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has offered to relinquish Israel's holiest site to the Arabs in exchange for promises of peace from the "Palestinians."

According to "top Palestinian sources" quoted in WorldNetDaily, Olmert presented a plan to the PA Tuesday, the same day the Israeli leader held a meeting in Jerusalem with PLO/PA chief Mahmoud Abbas.

This plan is said to cede full authority over the Temple Mount to the Muslim Arab world while Israel would retain control over the Western (Wailing) Wall and its plaza below the mount.

Muslims do not serve the God of Israel; they worship the ancient moon-god of Arabia, Allah. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in their "sacred" writings.

By contrast, the Temple Mount has been the most sacred place on earth to the Jewish people for 3,000 years. It is the site of Israel's First and Second Temples, and the Bible states repeatedly that it is the place the God of Israel has chosen to put His name.

The Temple Mount is 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 forever," God says in Ezekiel 43:7.

Jews and Christians believe the Messiah, Son of David, will reign over the world from this special site.

We can learn a lot about Satan by observing what he attacks. His relentless efforts to destroy Israel and to rip Jerusalem apart speaks volumes. We are not to focus on Satan, but we ARE to know our enemy. P Maillet

Harry Potter

2007-07-20T15:30:00.001-04:00

What would you say if someone told you that YOU are an abomination to God?

I'll never forget the day I was told that, because it was to change my life forever. To a statement like that, one can either go into self-defense, or one can investigate the claim. I investigated it. That was 32 years ago, and there's no way I could adequately thank the one who said that to me. Because it changed my life.

I was a very troubled young person, and the means I took to search out what might help me was the only means I hadn't yet pursued - the world of the "occult." I define "occult" as anything having to do with the psychic world, fortune tellers, mediums, astrologers, etc, etc. I never connected the two -- that while I was investigating these things my life was falling apart. The story ends, or rather begins, when I was told I was an abomination to God.

And the fact is, I WAS.

Religion was the last thing on my mind, because I had been raised in a very legalistic church, and nothing I did or tried within that context had helped me. So I was looking elsewhere.

Now I'm going to put that story on pause, it's a very long story, but I need at this time to get back to the point. The point is, tonight the last in the series of Harry Potter books is due to be released. If you are at all interested in pursuing the discussion with me, I invite you to email me. Otherwise, all I'll say about it is that anyone getting involved in any occult practice IS an abomination to God and there are very terrible consequences.

Hey, don't get mad at me, I didn't write The Book. But I have come to know its Author, and there's nothing in life more important to me now, than helping others to come to know him too. I'm no longer troubled, I have "the peace that passes all understanding." I've found the meaning to life, the purpose for which I was put here, and the joyful privilege of walking with the One who called me. C'mon along with me. It's an awesome adventure.

Here's the reference:

"There shall not be found among you anyone who:
makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire,
or who uses divination,
or an observer of times (astrology),
or an enchanter,
or a witch,
or a charmer,
or a consulter with familiar spirits (a medium),
or a wizard (magician)
or a necromancer (one who contacts the dead).

For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord"

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

If Noah Were Here

2007-07-19T15:08:00.002-04:00

In my mind's eye, I can see Noah standing there scratching his head. He's just had a conversation with Mr. Jones, trying to explain to him what's coming. But Mr. Jones just looks at him with that smirk in his eye conveying his opinion that Noah is a nut case.

"This generation has become so wicked that it's going to be wiped out. Confess your sins to God and turn your life over to him. Come with us, there's enough room in the ark."

But Mr. Jones goes away laughing. A flood? HERE? "Noah, you need counseling. I know a good counselor, a religious man in fact......."

It took an entire generation for Noah to build that ark. The Scriptures tell us that he was "a preacher of righteousness." I imagine him going out every day to work on it, all the while preaching righteousness, telling people that tremendous judgment was coming, and that they need to get right with God. But they laughed at him. There had never been rain in the region, so they laughed. "You're building a WHAT?" "Here???" A religious nut he was, they said. Building a huge ark in the Middle East. What a laughing-stock.

They refused his message. And they all died, every one of them, the elderly, the children, all of them.

Before the Holocaust, there was a Jewish man by the name of Ze'ev Jabotinsky. He went across Europe telling the Jewish people a terrible catastrophe was about to come upon them, warning them to leave Europe. But how could they leave, they had homes, art work, furniture that had been passed down from their grandparents, bank accounts - you know -- they couldn't just up and leave their established lives because this fanatic is telling them a terrible time is going to come upon them.

And six million of them perished. The elderly, the children -- six million of them.

We're now in the time immediately preceding the coming of the Lord. He told us what to watch for, the desolate land of Israel would be filled once again with the children of Jacob. And now, after two thousand years of being dispersed throughout the world while the land of Israel lay desolate, an event has taken place which is the greatest thing that has happened since the days Jesus walked the shores of Galilee. The children of Israel are back! The Jewish people fill the land of Israel once again, after TWO THOUSAND YEARS! And they've made the wasteland blossom like a rose.

To those who are watching closely, God has given abundant understanding of the time we're in and what's coming. He's raised up men throughout the world who are bringing the message to the masses. There has never been a generation the likes of the one we live in today; only in this generation can a message go around the world and into people's livingrooms on every side of the globe all in one day. Television has made it possible for all to hear, throughout the earth.

But we watch, we pray, we speak, we write, and they don't want to hear it. They're busy with the things that make up their lives, jobs, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage, partying, sports, travel, riches. "Mankind running to and fro," as the prophet Daniel said would characterize these days.

Recently another Potter book, a book on witchcraft, wizardry, and all manner of occultism was released. God has made it abundantly clear through the Scriptures that any form of occultism is absolute abomination in his eyes, so serious that the judgment upon it will afflict the family of the one being involved all the way down to the fourth generation.

We told them, we wrote, we explained. We pleaded. They scorned us.

These are the days of the "New Age" movement, the era of occult practices disguising themselves as self-help agents. We're in the days of "rights," the days of tolerance, in which political correctness means we must tolerate anything and anyone because of their "rights." We sacrifice our children on the altar of "women's rights." We tolerate sodomists telling our children that it's just another lifestyle and they should try it. We let them parade in our streets and gain entry into our classrooms. And all the while the people of this era have denied God, demoted him from his position of Creator, kicked him out of our lands, out of our schools, out of our governments, out of our public places, and they do not consider that there will be a response from heaven. The world has once again become "as it was in the days of Noah." Men and women of God have risen up to warn the people, to explain, to entreat. But the people label them "fanatics." Religious nuts. Deja vu.

Every sign mentioned by Jesus that would signal the days immediately preceding his coming -- is there. He castigated the leaders of his generation who refused to recognize him saying, "When it is evening you say, `It will be fair weather, for the sky is red, and in the morning, `It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." There was the Messiah standing before them, the one concerning whom the prophets spoke so much, but they refused him because to receive him would mean a change in their lifestyles. They missed it. And before that generation passed, their great city and their magnificent Temple were destroyed and left desolate for the next two thousand years.

It's happening again. God has raised up "preachers of righteousness" to warn a wicked world that a time of judgment is soon going to be upon us, which Jesus said would be tribulation greater than has ever been experienced in all of history or ever will be again. Today the message can be heard throughout the world on tv sets that bring right into our livingrooms anything happening in any corner of the earth. Man has no excuse.

Harry Potter -Ok For Christians?

2007-07-07T17:04:00.000-04:00

Author Calls Potter "Christian Literature"???

Homeschooling mother and literature expert Nancy Brown once banned all "Harry Potter" books from her home, having heard witness after witness to the book's "evil" content. But when a trusted friend recommended she give the boy wizard a second chance, she did – with great trepidation. The results of her tests were a surprise to both the Catholic community, and to Brown herself.

"I began reading the first book, and immediately I started absorbing the plot line and the character. The fact that they were witches immediately fell to the background. First and foremost, they were people," Brown told WND.

After she encountered the humanity of the characters, Brown found that the themes became infinitely relatable, and even spiritual. "The choices that Harry Potter had to make were important. His momentary despairs, his aching feelings for his parents – these things resonated with me. I thought, 'Gee, these books really do have good themes,' although they were couched in a story about witches and wizards."

But Brown's conclusions are in opposition to the positions adopted by others regarding the books.

Caryl Matrisciana, a well-known expert on contemporary cults, paganism and the occult, says "There is no doubt children are being seduced into believing the dark-arts are 'fun,' benign and a positive power for personal enablement. But responsible parents must be aware that the supernatural world is a reality and dabbling with its dark-side is not harmless."
(That's an understatement if I ever heard one!)

"Our children are immersed in its cruelty and depravity in a daily battle vying for their spirits and they want the power to tackle it," she continued. "But," Matriciana says, "the spiritual" themes in the "Potter" books stem from the books' entanglement with Wicca, not Christianity.

Her acclaimed DVD program, "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged," dramatically documents Potter references to evolution, reincarnation, sorcery, divination, spells, curses and other occult influences. (All of which are clearly forbidden in Scripture. Read Deuteronomy 18:10-12)

Ted Baehr, chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission, focuses on the sociological implications.

"These books and movies teach rebellion against authority," he said, and "when they add to this rebellious attitude the stupid aphorism that 'You're really a good person,' then one must seriously ask, 'What are these narcissistic children supposed to think?'"

Quite simply, they will think that "their rebellion is part of their goodness, and then they become part of the growing crowd of rebellious young people," he concluded.

Of Sodomists and Pagans

2007-06-22T07:58:00.000-04:00

It takes a dangerous dose of hutzpah to stick the finger in God's eye and defiantly hold a "gay pride" parade in God's city, Jerusalem. I found it interesting that this event was held on the same day as pagans worldwide celebrated the summer solstice. See reports below.

They have no fear of God. That is, they don't now - but they will.

If you have any doubt as to what the Lord God has to say about homosexuality, read Romans chapter one, beginning in verse 18 to the end.

Report #1:
Thousands Attend Gay Pride Parade In Jerusalem

Some 2,000 participants, secured by 7,000 policemen, march through the capital's streets. ..After weeks of protests, petitions, security preparations and last-minute attempts to thwart it, the Jerusalem gay pride parade kicked off Thursday at 5 pm.

Dozens of rainbow flags and balloons were flown at the junction of Moshe Hess and King David streets, the parade's point of departure. The marchers also carried signs saying, "Where gays are being silenced, straights will be silenced too."

The marchers stressed that the fact the parade was taking place despite the massive campaign against it, was a victory for the gay and lesbian community.

Thousands of haredim (orthodox Jews) took part in a mass service on Jaffa Road at the beginning of the parade, during which they recited psalms and carried signs against the gay community and the High Court. During the parade, some protestors sat down on the ground sobbing.

Report #2, on the same day:
Revelers Welcome Summer Solstice

STONEHENGE, ENGLAND [AP] Druids, drummers, pagans and partygoers welcomed the sun Thursday as it rose above the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge on the longest day of the year—the summer solstice.

Clad in antlers, black cloaks and oak leaves, a group of druids cheered and danced at the Heel stone—a twisted, pockmarked pillar at the edge of Stonehenge.

About 24,000 people gathered at the stone circle in Wiltshire, in southwestern England. Dancers writhed to the sound of drums and whistles as floodlights colored the ancient pillars shades of pink and purple.

Jeanette Montesano, a 23-year-old recently graduated religion student from New York City and a self-described pagan, said she had been saving for a year to make it to Stonehenge, comparing the importance of the trip to the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.

The southern hemisphere, meanwhile, was caught in the depths of winter. In Antarctica, where permanent night rules from mid-April through Aug. 20, staff at New Zealand's Scott Base science facility celebrated the midwinter solstice with a formal dinner of speeches and toasts.

They Have Rights -But Where Are Mine?

2007-05-25T09:39:00.001-04:00

Someone please explain to me:

Why the sodomists are winning in their attempts to force their lifestyle onto society and indoctrinate our children in perversion?

Where are MY rights? Why don't I have the right to have my children protected from what offends ME?

Why is their "right" to freedom from discrimination greater than my right to NOT having them dictate the kind of society I live in?

Why is there so much tolerance over what offends THEM, and none over what offends ME?

Why am I not allowed to violate their sensitivities, but have no protection over their violating MINE?

Why do I have to adopt tolerance of all their perversions, but nothing is said about tolerating MY way of life?

As a Christian, I ask why I have to tolerate the homosexual agenda and submit to their acceptance in our schools and in every aspect of our society, but the Bible which represents MY "agenda" is banned from our schools and from every aspect of our society? Why is it that they have "rights," and I don't?

Why is society allowing the sodomist agenda to TAKE OVER while the Christian "agenda" is banned? Can anyone out there explain these things to me?

Lawmakers Pass Redefinition Of 'Sex'

By Bob Unruh

In a move with national implications, California's state Senate passed a bill today that establishes a new definition for "sex," threatens references to "mom" and "dad" and could restrict the presentation of scientific evidence to students.

The newest legislation, sponsored by lesbian Sen. Sheila James Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, would ban textbooks, references, teaching aids, activities, events, discussions, posters, announcements, workbooks and anything else within the public school system from anything that "reflects or promotes bias against" homosexuality, transgenders, bisexuals or those with "perceived" gender issues. WHY isn't what I believe protected from bias???

"SB 777 is designed to transform our public schools into institutions that disregard all notions of the traditional family unit," said Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute. "This reverse discrimination is an outright ATTACK on the religious and moral beliefs of California citizens."

References to a "mother" and "father" in any school text appear to be threatened, because they could be interpreted as "reflecting" a bias against the "Partner 1" and "Partner 2" of same-sex lifestyles. ...By creating bias against those who believe in male fathers and female mothers?

Randy Thomasson, of the Campaign For Children and Families, said it's just wrong. "SB 777 requires textbooks, instructional materials and school-sponsored activities to positively portray cross-dressing, sex-change operations, homosexual 'marriages' and all aspects of homosexuality and bisexuality, including so-called 'gay history,'" he said. Then it should be mandated that there must be textbooks, etc, positively portraying male fathers, female mothers, and the traditional family unit. If THEY have rights, WE must too.

Thomasson said the notion "of forcing children to support controversial sexual lifestyles is shocking and appalling to millions of fathers and mothers." "Parents don't want their children taught to become homosexual or bisexual or to wonder whether they need a sex-change operation. SB 777 will shatter the academic purpose of education by turning every government school into a sexual indoctrination center," he said.

The current education code's definition of "sex," is eliminated. The new "gender" definition considers "a person's gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth."

The new mandate would be enforced by the attorneys of the California Department of Education, which would sue school districts that don't comply. !!!!! This is becoming a police state with perverts becoming the new police force.

The Los Angeles district already has implemented many of the proposals in the legislation. Among the most obvious changes:

* Words such as "mom" and "dad" and "husband" and "wife" would have to be edited from all texts.

* Cheerleading and sports teams would have to be gender-neutral.

* Prom kings and queens would be banned, or if featured, would have to be gender neutral so that the king could be female and the queen male.

* Gender-neutral bathrooms could be required for those confused about their gender identity.

* A male who believes he really is female would be allowed into the women's restroom, and a woman believing herself a male would be allowed into a men's room.

A board member for the homosexual advocacy group 'Equality California' verbally attacked and threatened CRI for its opposition to the bill. The board member sent an e-mail and video to CRI threatening the group would be buried if it continued efforts opposing the homosexual advocacy.

"The shocking hate mail we received shows that those behind this legislation do not promote true tolerance," said England. "Only politically correct speech will be tolerated. Those with religious or traditional moral beliefs will not be allowed to express their opinions in public schools."

In Los Angeles already, she said, "boys who perceive themselves as girls may enter the girls' locker room and restroom. Teachers and school officials are required to hide the gender identity of a transgender student if the parents are unaware of what's taking place at school."

Thomasson said schools shouldn't be tools for activists with a moral agenda. "Schools need to do a much better job teaching kids reading, writing and arithmetic, not a better job advertising controversial sexual lifestyles to captive 6-year-olds," he said.

He also noted that, just as last year, two other bills also are pending: AB 394 would demand that schools distribute to students "anti-harassment" education programs, and AB 675 would give $1 million to pay for homosexual, bisexual and transsexual activists to turn 10 public schools into "sexual indoctrination centers."

Oh No! Resisting God's Work In Israel AGAIN!!!

2007-05-04T14:15:00.002-04:00

US Sets Tough Deadlines For Israel
Demands made for removal of checkpoints, support of PA

Senior Israel officials fear friction could arise with the Bush administration over a timetable issued by the United States that sets detailed benchmarks for measures that both Israel and the Palestinians must implement.

For Israel, the document sets a precise schedule for removing security checkpoints,opening travel corridors in the West Bank, and supporting armed forces loyal to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Israel is also strongly encouraged to approve Palestinian request for food, industrial equipment, and weapons.
(Weapons!!! If this isn't insanity, what is???)

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is scheduled to arrive in the region on May 15 to discuss the plan.

Israeli defense officials believe that the benchmarks create security risks (No kidding!) and have objected to several issues in the document, especially the demand to increase the openness of passages into and out of Gaza and the removal of many roadblocks in the West Bank. Israel has not responded officially to the document and a cabinet discussion on the topic was postponed on Thursday.

Passage into and out of Gaza! Does anyone else think this is beyond insanity? Gaza is a hotbed of terrorists. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind want Israel to grant passage into and out of Gaza? For jobs and trade? Let the Muslims create their own jobs and trade among the multitude of their brothers! Take a look:

Have They Found The Grave of Jesus?

2007-02-27T16:29:00.000-05:00

If you were Satan, and you knew this is the last generation, and you knew the signs are all there concerning the coming of the Messiah who will be your doom ...what would you do?

You might "inspire" a book to be written that would be a frontal attack on the mission and purpose of Jesus Christ. The Da Vinci Code.

You might "inspire" a woman to write a best-seller aimed at children, fostering witchcraft and all manner of Bible-forbidden occultism. The Harry Potter books.

And you would do all you can to discredit the person and claims of Jesus Christ.

You might cause a "find" of a family grave with names similar to the names of members of Jesus's family or his followers.

Why?

What harm can it do?

If you understood the mission and intent of Satan, you could answer that question.

The tell-tale signs of "the workings of Satan" are:
1. Attacks on the divinity of Jesus Christ.
2. Attacks on the fact of his virgin birth.
3. Attacks on the fact of his physical resurrection.

Every cult formed by the inspiration and workings of Satan will deny one or more of these three things.

Satan's primary aim is to discredit the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because of hatred. Satan hates Jesus Christ above all else.

If the grave found is the grave of Jesus Christ or a son of Jesus Christ, then He did not rise from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central tenet of the Christian faith.

If the grave found is the grave of Jesus Christ, or a son of Jesus Christ, then He is a liar. Jesus spoke of his coming death and said he would rise again in three days. If the remains in that grave are his, then he did not rise from the dead.

"But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain and your faith is also vain.
Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up if in fact the dead do not rise.
For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable."
1 Corinthians 15:13-19

Satan does not come with a banner stating, "Here I come, I'm Satan coming to destroy your faith." He comes as "an angel of light," to bring you "light" that will destroy your faith in the Son of God.

He comes to destroy the claims of Jesus Christ, to say he was just a good man, perhaps a prophet. He will attack you in any way he thinks will turn you away from that Name and the One bearing it.

Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, who claimed to be the "I AM," the YHVH.
He was born of a virgin.
He was crucified in our place, taking upon himself the guilt of our sins.
He rose from the dead physically and multitudes saw him.
He ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives, in the sight of many, and that is where he will return.
He will return in the generation that sees the return of the Jewish people to Israel.

And .....he will do away with Satan.

"...the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18

If that grave is the grave of Jesus, then the message of the Cross is foolishness.

That's why it matters.

Making The Temple Mount Muslim!

2007-02-08T09:09:00.002-05:00

Temple Mount Becoming Mosque For Muslims Only

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved ...What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Isaiah 14:31-32

The Israeli government is doing nothing while the Muslim custodians of the Temple Mount discard Jewish artifacts and attempt to turn Judaism's holiest site into an exclusive prayer zone for Islam, a leading Israeli archeologist charged today.

Hebrew University's Eilat Mazor said the Waqf, the site's Muslim custodians, "want to turn the whole of the Temple Mount into a mosque for Muslims only!"

"They don't care about the artifacts or heritage on the site," Mazor said. "The Waqf has taken thousands of tons of artifacts from the First Temple, and the Second Temple, and is throwing them away."

Mazor was referring to Muslim excavations near a new mosque constructed on the Temple Mount. During the excavations, the Wafq reportedly disposed of truckloads of dirt containing Jewish artifacts from the First and Second Temple periods.

Meanwhile, Muslims are protesting work by the Israeli antiquities authority to repair a ramp near the Temple Mount even though the work at the Western Wall plaza is not taking place on the Mount and poses no threat to the holy site. Muslim leaders are calling for a "new intifada" to protest the routine Israeli repair work. ( ! ! ! )

Mazor, a Temple Mount archaeologist, is the discoverer and lead archaeologist of Israel's City of David, believed to be the palace of the Biblical King David, who ruled from around 1005 to 965 B.C. She slammed the inaction of the Israeli government while Islam "takes over" the Temple Mount.

Prime Minister Olmert has given permission for Jordan to build a large minaret adjacent to a mosque on the Temple Mount to call Muslims to prayer at the holy site. The minaret will stand at a site on the Mount where Jewish groups had petitioned to build a synagogue and were refused. ( ! ! ! )

There are four minarets already on the Temple Mount. The new minaret will be the largest one yet and is slated to tower over the walls of Jerusalem's old city.

A top leader of the Waqf said that Olmert's granting of permission to build the minaret in the synagogue's place "confirms 100-percent the Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) belongs to Muslims."

"This proves Jewish conspiracies for a synagogue will never succeed and solidifies our presence here. It will make Muslims worldwide more secure that the Jews will never take over the Haram al-Sharif," the Waqf official said.
Oh boy, do they ever have a surprise coming! They are sticking their fingers in the eye of the Lord God of Israel at a time when He is restoring the sons and daughters of Jacob world-wide back to the land of their fathers WHICH HE GAVE TO THEM.

Prominent Israeli archeologist Gabi Barkai of Tel Aviv University blasted the new minaret plans. "I am against any change in the status quo on the Temple Mount. If the status quo is being changed, then it should not just be the addition of Muslim structures at the site," Barkai said.

Rabbi Chaim Richman, director of the international department at Israel's Temple Institute, said, "Olmert is turning his back on our Jewish heritage while the rest of the world looks at us with amazement at how we can be so insensitive to our own spiritual legacy."

The First Jewish Temple was built on the Temple Mount by King Solomon in the 10th century B.C. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. The Second Temple was rebuilt in 515 B.C. and that Temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire in A.D. 70, and the Jews were dispersed world-wide.

Most Waqf officials deny the Jewish Temples ever existed in spite of what many call overwhelming archaeological evidence, including the discovery of Temple-era artifacts linked to worship, tunnels that snake under the Temple Mount and over 100 ritual immersion pools believed to have been used by Jewish priests to cleanse themselves before services. The cleansing process is detailed in the Torah.

Islam Converts Changing the Face of Europe

2007-01-23T10:36:00.000-05:00

As many as 100,000 French and British citizens have converted to Islam over the last decade. ( ! ! ! )

The figures cited by Hebrew University Prof. Raphael Israeli in his upcoming book, The Third Islamic Invasion of Europe, are representative of the fast-changing face of Europe. He noted that about 30 million Muslims currently live in Europe, out of a total population of 380 million., adding that with a high Muslim birthrate in Europe, the number of Muslims living in the continent is likely to double within 25 years.

"The sheer weight of demography will produce a situation where no Frenchman or Dutchman could be elected to parliament without the support of the Muslim minority," he said Monday in an interview with The Jerusalem Post. ( ! ! ! )

"Muslims will have a more and more decisive voice in the makeup of European governments." The author/historian said that Muslim political power in Europe would directly impact domestic politics, including Europe's immigration policy, with millions of additional Muslims waiting at the door to gain entry to the EU as part of "family reunification" programs.

"Every European with a right mind has every reason to be frightened," Israeli said.
(But like the Americans, they do NOT understand the purpose behind it and generally just are not paying attention.)

"It is time one should wake up and realize what is happening in Europe," he concluded.

Israeli's book is due out in London in the coming months.

Touch Israel, Get Judged!

2007-01-18T14:54:00.002-05:00

Last week I sent an email out to only a very few people on my email list alerting them to observe that Condi Rice was going to the Middle East to jump-start the "Road Map to peace."

I'm still only observing this phenomenon which I've read about concerning judgment on this country every time the president or a high-ranking official opposes God's program for the restoration of Israel.

ANY attempt to get Israel to give up the land God has restored to her seems always followed by judgment. That's the principle. I'm watching it and I'll keep reporting on it as it happens.

The first book I read on this subject was White House correspondent Bill Koenig's "Eye To Eye," and now I'm reading John McTernan's "As America Has Done To Israel," both of which show the same thing. Of the two, I recommend John's book as it's much easier to read.

So ok -- she went. Did anything happen?

Well how about this which was on the Fox site this morning:

Google Earth Map Marks Temple Mount Palestinian

2007-01-16T13:59:00.002-05:00

While Jerusalem serves as Israel's capital, and the Temple Mount is located within Israeli sovereignty, the popular satellite map program Google Earth divides the city and places the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site – within Palestinian territory. ( ! ! ! )

Interactive Google Earth maps mark eastern sections of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as "occupied territory," set to become part of a future Palestinian state.
This is absolutely untrue. The Temple Mount is NOT and has never been part of any negotiations!

Google Earth states it demarcates its maps according to international standards, but no Israeli-Palestinian negotiations – even the failed Camp David final-status negotiations in 2000 – ever placed the Temple Mount within Palestinian territory.

The United Nations considers eastern sections of Jerusalem, recaptured by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War, to be "disputed."
NO! The UN considers ALL of Israel to be "disputed."
The UN is pro-Palestinian.

"Google Earth is reinforcing lies," said Rabbi Chaim Rechman, director of the international department at Israel's Temple Institute. "The Muslims have engaged in a systemic campaign to re-write history and erase any traces of Judaism from the Temple Mount in total disregard to all actual archeological and historic evidence," he continued." Now Google Earth has given in to this campaign."

Comments on other Google Earth images claim Israel plans to divide parts of Bethlehem, even though no such plan exist.

Google Earth is also accused of showing falsified images. Visitors to Google Earth who click on an area just outside Jerusalem can view a computer-generated image claiming to depict an Israeli missile factory. Israeli defense officials told WND the "missile factory" is a total fabrication.

Terror leader: 'Congratulations to Google Earth'
Abu Nasser, second-in-command of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, said he was "thrilled" by Google Earth's depictions. "Congratulations to Google Earth," Abu Nasser told WND.

"We congratulate Google and the American people in making this very important change in the Middle East. The Al Aqsa Mosque (located on the Temple Mount) is part of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem is part of Palestine. If such a big institution like Google corrected these historical mistakes on maps, maybe we can bring about a change in the depictions of Palestine by the American media, which is controlled by the Zionists."

According to Abu Nasser, whose terror group says it is trying to liberate the Al Aqsa Mosque, the Jewish Temple never existed. "At least not on the area Jews now call the Temple Mount.," he said. "Maybe a Temple existed somewhere, but not in Jerusalem. The Temple Mount exists only in the imaginations of the Jews and Americans."

Abu Nasser's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is the declared "military wing" of PLO President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party. The Brigades, together with the Islamic Jihad terror group, has taken responsibility for every suicide bombing in Israel the past two years, including an attack in Tel Aviv in April that killed American teenager Daniel Wultz and nine Israelis.

He's Standing In The Wings

2007-01-01T11:37:00.000-05:00

This article is condensed from Worldnet Daily.
The remarks in red are my comments.

Iranian Website Heralding 'Mahdi' By Springtime
Shiite messiah to kill archenemy in Jerusalem.
May arrive during next equinox

An official state media website in Iran has posted a message heralding the soon coming of the Shiite "messiah," Imam Mahdi, noting he could arrive with Jesus by the spring equinox.
And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that
no one deceives you. For many will come in My name,
saying, `I am the Christ (Messiah),' and will deceive many."
Matthew 24:4-5

"Imam Mahdi ...will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca," the message says.
The very essence of the antichrist is that he is
a complete counterfeit of the real Messiah.
Remember the word COUNTERFEIT.

The Islamic Republic of Iran's broadcasting website said that the Mahdi will form an army to defeat the enemies of Islam in a series of apocalyptic battles, in which the Mahdi will overcome his archvillain in Jerusalem.
I thought it said he's coming to Mecca.
What's this about Jerusalem?
Why Jerusalem, I wonder?

The Mahdi's far sightedness and firmness in the face of terrible events will strike awe. After his uprising from Mecca, all of Arabia will submit to him and then other parts of the world as he marches upon Iraq and establishes his seat of global government in the city of Kufa. Then the Imam will send 10 thousand of his forces to the east and west to uproot the oppressors (Christians and Jews). At this time Allah will facilitate things for him and lands will come under his control one after the other.
And I looked, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow;
and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 6:2

And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
Revelation 6:4

After his appearance the Imam would remain in Mecca for some time, and then go to Medina. A descendant of the Prophet's archenemy Abu Sofyan will seize Syria and attack Iraq and the Hejaz with the ferocity of a beast ...finally Imam Mahdi sends troops who kill the Sofyani in Beit ol-Moqaddas (Jerusalem), the Islamic holy city in Palestine that is currently under occupation of the Zionists.
Wait till you find out HOW MUCH of the land will be "occupied" by the "Zionists."

The new "west bank" will be the west bank of the river Euphrates in Iraq according to the Lord God of Israel!

The Iranian series also claims the Mahdi will reappear on Earth with Jesus: "We read in the book Tazkarat ol-Olia, 'the Mahdi will come with Jesus son of Mary accompanying him.' ... Imam Mahdi will be the leader while Prophet Jesus will act as his lieutenant in the struggle against oppression and establishment of justice in the world.
Uh huh, we know already! "The Beast and the false prophet."
Let the reader beware and remember!

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appearing at "The World Without Zionism" conference Oct. 26, 2005, continues, "My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?"
Depends on which Jesus you're talking about!
Jesus, the son of Mary, is a Jew, of the tribe of Judah, and
house of King David, who will return to Jerusalem, not to Mecca.

The counterfeit Messiah, called "the antichrist," will come with
all signs and lying wonders,and most of the population of the
earth will believe him. But read his end...

"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false
prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which
he deceived those who received the mark of the beast
and those who worshiped his image. These two were
cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone."
Revelation 19:20

Ahmadinejad's mystical pre-occupation with the coming of this Mahdi is what's behind his refusal to stop his nuclear program. He intends to trigger the global conflagration which he believes will set the stage for the coming of the Mahdi, (the false messiah, the antiChrist.)

In a videotaped meeting with Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli in Tehran, Ahmadinejad discussed candidly a strange, paranormal experience he had while addressing the United Nations in New York in September. He recounts how he found himself bathed in light throughout the speech. It was, he said, a light from heaven.

Ahmadinejad wasn't the only one who noticed the unearthly light. One of his aides brought it to his attention saying "When you began with the words 'in the name of Allah,' I saw a light coming, surrounding you and protecting you to the end." Ahmadinejad answered,"I felt it myself. I felt that the atmosphere suddenly changed, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, all the leaders of the world did not blink. When I say they didn't move an eyelid, I'm not exaggerating. They were looking as if a hand was holding them there, and had just opened their eyes!"

Ahmadinejad's "vision" at the U.N. is strangely reminiscent and alarmingly similar to statements he has made about his personal role in ushering in the return of the Shiite Muslim "messiah." He believes his mission is "to pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi, may Allah hasten his reappearance."

All Iran is buzzing about the Mahdi, the 12th imam, and the role Iran and Ahmadinejad are playing in his anticipated return. People are anxious to know when and how he will rise, and what they must do to receive this worldwide salvation," says cleric Ali Lari, in Iran's religious center of Qom.

2006 Ends In A Picture Of Death!

2006-12-30T14:26:00.000-05:00

Watching the ceremonies as a former US President is laid to rest -- you can't help notice the contrast between this beautiful fairwell, and the horrible departure of the former head of state of another country, as he is sent away as a man not fit to walk the face of the earth.

It's been a week of death: first the musician James Brown, whose claim to fame is his marvelously popular song, "I Feeeeeeeeeel Good!" -fitting for the way he lived his life. Then right after his death, Gerald Ford dies, a humble and a good man who brought healing to our country during one of our dark times as a nation. And then Saddam Hussein, called "the butcher of Baghdad," who brought horror and grief to countless of his countrymen.

An amazing juxtaposition of three lives, three men departing this earth, each having brought a different kind of influence, and one wonders, probably reaching dissimilar fates.

It can't be overlooked that the year 2006 ends with a stark, three-fold picture of death. It's almost as though the picture is being thrust before us, forcibly being brought to our attention: "here are three men, three lives leaving the earth, three men going to the finality of the eternity that suits them." Isn't it interesting, intriguing, that that's the picture before all of us as this year comes to an end!

I wonder what these three encountered at the moment of their deaths. Two of them lived for themselves, for fame, for power, for wealth. The other inherited the presidency of the United States of America unexpectedly, never having aspired to that position, but taking over during a time of scandal and great dishonor to the office, and turning it around by his mere goodness, and restoring honor to the presidency.

This year is closing with a picture beckoning us: what mark will we make during our lives? Will we leave the earth having been a blessing, or a curse? having attained positions of power and name and wealth, or having never been known, perhaps doers of good without applause, without notice, without payment, or fame, or even desire for it.

I suspect that with the theme of death being so stark, so obvious in the way this year closes, perhaps we're being warned that we're entering perilous times in our world, probably more perilous than most have any idea, and that it's of vital importance to decide where we stand, for good or for evil, for ourselves or for God, for money or for entertainment, or for service to our Creator. For many of us will stand before him in the not distant future, and answer to him for the choices we made, the lifestyles we lived, and the effects we had on the lives of men.

But there's another death which was suffered, suffered willingly by One greater than all these, by one who "endured such contradiction of sinners against himself." The most important thing in life, the most important decision we will EVER make, is our response to this one's gift which offers us the salvation God procured at such a price, and which changed the destinies of men. This death was the most condescending gift of mercy ever conceived, given freely for "whosoever will" receive him, but which most ignore.

Perhaps knowing what is shortly to come upon the earth, God is presenting to us a picture of death in order to bring our attention to the subject, and to persuade us that it is of vital importance, it is crucial, that we consider this picture before us and think on it. Because if one truly ponders the meaning of what's before us, then one can't avoid thinking of his own death, and what his destiny will be. The Messiah, the Christ, the son of God suffered death for us, and our destinies depend on our response to him, which cannot be an approving nod, that's not going to be enough, it has to be an encounter with him resulting in a personal "born again" experience which he died to offer you and me, and said that unless one has this experience he cannot perceive, nor in any way understand the Kingdom of God. (John 3:3) This is one death that men ignore foolishly, because this life is short, and the one to come long. There is nothing more important than making sure of where that will be lived.

"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision."
Joel 3:14

Islam -Little Red Riding Hood In A Burqa?

2006-12-23T14:22:00.001-05:00

Why is it that the US doesn't "get it?" It appears to me that the US is like politically-correct sheep being led to the slaughter; being escorted there by none other than the Big Bad Wolf himself, albeit in disguise.

When you have an enemy SWORN to your DESTRUCTION, tolerance and an effort to appease that enemy is a wrong and an insane response. Both the US government and the media insist that the terrorist segment of Islam doesn't represent all of Islam, and that we must practice "tolerance" for the sake of the Muslims in our country who are peaceful. After all, they have "rights" too, don't they! Yes, and believe me, they're going to make the most of them!

This is insanity. First of all, you can't tell who among the Muslims in this country are the "peaceful ones," because the terrorists deliberately live among "peaceful" Muslims, and take on a normal lifestyle while doing everything to conceal their terrorist intents. They blend into society, take ordinary jobs, and you'd never know the insidious plots and plans going on in the secret lives of these base personalities who might be living peacefully right next door to you.

The USA has never been a Muslim country. In fact, Islam has been very lightly represented among us until recent times. Whether "peaceful" or not, they have a culture totally foreign to us. They don't belong here. This country, despite the naysayers, was built and established on the Judeo-Christian ethic, the very people most highly targeted by Islam. Muslims have made it clear, in plain English, that their intent is to destroy Israel, "the little Satan," and then America, "the big Satan." For a long time their motto has been "first the Saturday people, and then the Sunday people." They have minced no words about it, stating it publicly and openly. And nice guys that we are, we just chirp that they have "rights," so they can say what they want -- but they don't mean it of course, they're just voicing their frustrations. See, if we treat them well enough, they'll actually WANT to embrace the freedoms and prosperity and lifestyle of such a lovely people as we. So we let the Big Bad Wolf move right in to mingle happily with us as we go about our business. They can build mosques, and say anything they want in those mosques, after all that's their "right." Rights? Try to build a church or synagogue in ANY of their countries and you'll learn quickly what they think about rights. To them, rights are the craziness of America, and will be used to take us down. And down we'll go, avowing their rights all the way to our destruction.

In the meantime, they're using another insidious tool in their multi-pronged goal of destroying us, and that's the slow taking over of America from within. It is not a stretch to say that one Muslim making his way into our government is not going to be a one-time thing. Just watch!

My question, and this really leaves me scratching my head, is WHY the American people are so naive. It makes no sense, none at all. Little Red Riding Hood is totally content to allow the Big Bad Wolf walk along with her, and would be aghast at the suggestion that he intends to make her his dinner meal. Go along then, America, go ahead and walk with this pernicious stranger in your land. It may be easier, even, for this wolf to take down the Sunday people first -and then take the Saturday people for dessert.

WalMart, king of the capitalist retailers, has climbed further into bed with the Chinese Communist government that supplies its stores with so many cheap goods by setting up a Communist Party branch in its corporate headquarters in Shenzhen. ( ! ! ! )

Dubbed "another breakthrough" for Wal-Mart by Wang Suiming, a Communist official in the city, the new organization was established last month, according to Shenzhen Special Zone Daily.
Wang anticipates the move will lead to other foreign-financed companies boosting the Communist Party.

In August, Wal-Mart set up its first party branch in the northeast city of Shenyang. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. entered the Chinese market in 1996, and it now has 67 stores in 34 Chinese cities, with more than 30,000 employees.

It's Happening Again!

2006-12-01T19:28:00.001-05:00

I don't know if you're watching the news -- this terrible storm which has wreaked havoc across the midwest and now in the northeast -- hundreds of thousands without power, airports closed, and 3 deaths so far...

The day before yesterday I sent out an email to only a very few people closest to me saying to watch this.

Here's why:
Awhile back I wrote, after having read "Eye To Eye" by White House correspondent Bill Koenig. Mr. Koenig has found a direct link between any time the US government pressures Israel to give up land, and judgment falling on this country within 48 hours.

I didn't send it out to all of you, because I'm only at the "watching this" stage, a little skeptical as I'm sure you are, and not wanting to say too much until I've seen with my own eyes that this is truly a pattern.

Well -- it proved itself out this time anyway. President Bush was in Jordan this week, moreso to meet with the President of Iraq, but also to meet with the king of Jordan to discuss how to get the land-for-peace "road map" back into motion. When I saw that, I immediately went on "alert" to see if this thing that Bill Koenig has noticed and researched would indeed play itself out again.

Well of course it has. As I watched the news reports of this storm, I continually heard the words "record-breaking," especially when it was down in Oklahoma and Texas, and of course that only confirms the case.

I'm not going to say a lot about this until I'm completely sure of it. But I've been watching ever since I read Bill Koenig's book and so far this is holding true. The situation seems to be developing which Zechariah spoke of:

"And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it."
-Zechariah 12:3

Then the prophet Joel tells of the great battle of Armageddon in which the Lord pours judgment on those who have "parted my land."
-Joel chapter 3

We're still a bit away from the fulness of that, but as we watch the ominous escalation in the Middle East, with all that has happened in the past 2 years, for one, the Gaza-Katrina link being so incredibly clear -- all I can say is that the days coming upon us should be interesting!

Homosexual Rights Without Limit?

2006-11-14T16:28:00.000-05:00

Someone responded this morning to an email I sent out. As I answered him, I thought I'd share it with everyone:

> Some of the best workers that we have are supposedly
> homosexual, but they don't announce it. I feel that they
> should have rights, but no more than anyone else.

My response to him:

I agree wholeheartedly. There are "rights" that we ALL have, and I would not deny anyone those rights. One has the right to go out on the street and flail his arms all over the place, but his rights do not include hitting me with those arms.

Homosexuals have the "right" to live that lifestyle if they want. But they don't have the right to assault me and my children with their parades and visible intrusions into society.

Homosexuality stands alongside murder as an equally detestable sin in the eyes of God. I wouldn't want a murderer teaching my children, in fact I wouldn't want a murderer anywhere near my children. And I wouldn't want society to allow parades of murders defying God and proclaiming the "rights" of murderers in society. What rights would you give murderers?

If anyone doesn't think sodomy is as heinous a sin as murder, let the Word of God show them. Let them read his Word, He makes it quite clear.

The one sin kills the body, the other kills the soul of children.

Parade of Sodomists Cancelled!

2006-11-10T19:24:00.000-05:00

Interesting....

The huge gay pride parade scheduled to take place today in Jerusalem - was cancelled and the paraders had to move to a closed auditorium instead.

Let's connect some dots:

Do you remember when the homosexuals in America scheduled their enormous gay-rights celebration of decadence, scheduled for New Orleans on August 31, 2005 -- and when that day came the US was hit with the largest natural disaster in US history? Over 150,000 homosexuals were expected to attend the event, but when the day arrived, so did hurricane Katrina. But in incredibly fearless defiance, the homosexuals rescheduled their "defiant decadence," for later, with their fists in God's face.

Well again, a gay pride parade was announced -this time for Jerusalem, but war arose in Lebanon, forcing them to cancel it. But true to their rebellious souls, they rescheduled it - and today was supposed to be the day. However because of the uproar among the orthodox believers because of it, plus terror threats because of an accidental killing of civilians in a military operation, Jerusalem was forced to cancel the parade!!!

What's particularly interesting is the par'shah (Torah reading) for this Sabbath, tomorrow. Would you believe this week's predetermined Scripture reading is Genesis 19!!!!!!! That's the passage on Sodom and Gomorrah!!!!!

Coincidence? I don't think so!

Connect The Dots...

2006-08-14T19:21:00.002-04:00

As I watch the cease-fire taking place today, with Israel suffering a great humiliation.....

Make no bones about it, this was a real defeat for Israel.

1.) They did NOT receive the kidnapped soldiers back -- and remember, this was the REASON they went into military action.

2.) They did not defeat or even disarm Hezbollah and the Muslims are ecstatic.

It is not coincidental that Ariel Sharon's picture is all over the news today - along with the news of Israel's failure. If you have eyes to see, and ears to hear, perhaps you will recognize the point the Lord is making by showing these two pictures simultaneously.

Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, in every war Israel fought the Lord gave Israel a resounding victory against the aggressors, even though the aggressors FAR outnumbered the Israelis. In fact, in every war there were numerous accounts of supernatural events happening which protected the Israelis and gave to them the victories they could never have attained alone against the multi-nation attacks from the surrounding Arab states.

This is the first time since 1948 that Israel withdraws in defeat.

And on this day, the day of their humiliating failure, along with those pictures ---we are also seeing pictures of Ariel Sharon on our tv screens as his health greatly deteriorates and brings him close to death.

For those who don't remember - just about a year ago, in August of 2005, Ariel Sharon -under heavy influence from the US - forcibly removed every Jew from Gaza -THOUSANDS of them -and handed that southern portion of Israel which God had restored to them -handed it over to their enemies. Immediately afterwards, immediately after seeing the graphic and horrific pictures of Jews being forcibly and physically dragged away from their homes -- what happened? America suddenly had to evacuate HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of its people from it's southern border as hurricane Katrina wrought "unprecedented" destruction in this southern area of the USA, and within less than 6 months Ariel Sharon was cut down by a stroke and has been laying in a coma ever since.

And now....Israeli defeat and humiliation. And on the same day that Sharon's picture is shown on tv every few minutes as his health greatly deteriorates......

Connect the dots.

Islam -What It's Really All About

2006-08-01T19:16:00.003-04:00

As the players in the Middle East events become more and more visible, it becomes more and more clear that the issue is not land. The true issue is much more serious and much more dangerous. In view of the tremendous number of prophecies in the Bible concerning "the last days," and the things we are seeing now right before our eyes, it should come as no surprise that the real issue is "religion."

The real issue is "who IS God?"

A few years ago, at a meeting with Yasser Arafat, the Prime Minister of Israel decided to just give him what he wanted, because the Israelis were just so tired of the violence. So Ehud Barak offered the "Palestinians" just about everything they were demanding -- 95 percent of the "West Bank," and was even willing to divide Jerusalem and let the "Palestinians" take East Jerusalem as their capital for their Palestinian State. It should have been a slam-dunk end to the story. But what happened? Yasser Arafat got up, walked out, and cancelled any further "negotiations," leaving everyone stunned. And at that point, the whole world should have understood that this was not about land.

Fast-forward to today. It is now becoming clear that the Islamic terrorist groups afflicting Israel are actually proxies for the government of Iran. And one good thing that has come out of all this is that the truth is no longer being hidden behind the guise of a struggle for land. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, has made it clear and made it public -- this is about whose God is God. He believes it is his CALLING from Allah to prepare the way for the coming of the Islamic "Mahdi," who will subject the entire world under Islam. And he believes it is his CALLING to rid the world of the two great obstacles to that -- Israel and the United States of America. The God of the Jews, and the God of the Christians. To even the most casual observer this is clear at this point, because he's been saying it loudly and clearly and often.

Which leads to a comment, an observation that I believe is quite telling on this subject.

Read on:
The Arab nations have been in the Middle East continuously for over 4,000 years. They have never been dispersed throughout the earth as Israel has. They have had 4,000 uninterrupted years to develop.

Israel has been in her land now for 58 years. Why has Israel been able to build a state as modern, as prosperous, and as advanced as it is today, after a world-wide dispersion, persecution throughout that time and in every place, a Holocaust determined to destroy every Jew on the continent, and the birth of their new nation at the hands of the survivors of the most devastating torture and death camps known to man?

*** Why has Israel been able to do in 58 years what the Arabs have not been able to do in 4,000 years of uninterrupted presence?

The answer is the God of Israel.

For it is Israel's God who kept her through all her sufferings and wanderings, and it is Israel's God who is glorified in her restoration IN SPITE of the determination of the Arabs to destroy her. The God of Israel is made obvious in the blessings on Israel, making her a chief among the nations in only 58 years though she has only a sliver of the land of the Middle East.

The god of Islam apparently is unable to bless his people or his lands, though they have 99 percent of the land in the Middle East, and almost unlimited supplies of the world's most precious commodity -- oil.

While on this subject, let's make another enlightening comparison between nations:The richest, most powerful, and most advanced nation on the face of the earth today is the United States of America. The US was founded on the Judeo-Christian Bible, the Word of the Lord, and is blessed beyond all the nations of the earth.

Now take a look at Haiti. Haiti is one of, some say the most, poverty-stricken nations on the face of the earth. The government of Haiti dedicated their nation to Satan; not once, but later confirmed it, and then confirmed a third time by official government proclamation. Satan's dedicated land is a land of abject poverty, death, curses, and voodoo.

So here's the comparison:
Israel -Her God is the God of the Bible. She is among the most prosperous and advanced nations on earth in spite of endless hatred against her. Her sons have been among the great men of the earth in science, medicine, and in every field they have been involved in.

America -under the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible. Prosperous beyond any nation that has ever been on the earth.

The lands of Islam? -under the moon god, "Allah." Backward, oppressed, and hate-filled.

Haiti? -dedicated to Satan and one of the most oppressed nations on the face of the earth.

God has showed Himself in His peoples.

And Satan has done the same.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (YHVH)."
Psalm 33:12

Reminiscent?

Some thoughts on watching the "record-breaking" floods happening on the US east coast:

Israel is suffering ...The US is suffering ...Is there a link?

As I watch the pictures of the flooding in the northeast, I find them reminiscent of the pictures we saw during the Katrina hurricane. Eerily so.

Review:
IMMEDIATELY after Israel forcibly removed its Israeli citizens from their homes in Gaza and handed Gaza over to the Muslim terrorists, at the aiding and abetting of the US .....we saw part of our own southern border smashed with a devastating hurricane killing over a thousand and with hundreds of thousands displaced.

Follow-up:
After the Israelis vacated Gaza, Israel's southern border became a terrorist state from which Muslim terrorists began firing kassam rockets into Israel DAILY. Finally, after they attacked an Israeli military base, killed 2 soldiers and kidnapped another, Israel was forced to go back into Gaza to take out the terrorist positions there, as we're seeing on our tv's now.

Isn't it interesting .....that while our attention is brought back to Gaza, our attention is at the same time being drawn to pictures of "record-breaking" floods in the US, eerily reminiscent of the pictures we saw during the Katrina devastation. Hundreds of thousands having to be evacuated .........again.

Another thing I noticed: What we are seeing on tv of the military operations in Gaza are pictures of huge fires raging. And at the same time, we are seeing on our tv screens .....devastating fires raging in OUR southwestern states.

I suspect that not one person out of a hundred is able to "see" the connections and understand what's happening. For those who scoff at this, I merely suggest that you file this information in your mind somewhere and pay attention in the future .....as surely this parallel will be seen again and again in times to come.

How is this going to eventually end for the "Palestinians?"

Take a look:
Howl, O gate; cry, O city;
thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved:
for there shall come from the north a smoke,
and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation?
That the Lord hath founded Zion,*
and the poor of his people shall trust in it.I
saiah 14: 31-32 KJV

*Nb: Zion throughout the Bible is Israel

Media Response

2006-01-27T19:37:00.000-05:00

I don't know if you can see America's Fox News from Israel. It's our "conservative" news outlet.

I'm embarrassed as I listen to these conservative talking heads trying to put a positive spin on this Hamas win. Everyone's hoping Hamas will renounce violence and come to the peace table. I get so frustrated with the "wise" men of the world and the total and absolute foolishness that comes out of their mouths.

They actually think that this pit-bull can be made into a poodle. It's absolutely unbelievable. I squirmed and twisted inside as I listened to President Bush's statements. They're broadcasting only what he said about being unable to negotiate peace with a peace partner who has an agenda of the destruction of Israel.

That's the part they're broadcasting. But I heard the whole thing -his praise for the great step the Palestinians took in holding a truly democratic vote. His pleasure that they've sent a message that they weren't satisfied with the status quo and therefore their vote against what was the status quo. His insistence that we can democratize the Muslim regimes of the Middle East, as we're democratizing Iraq and Afghanistan. (Oh yeah?) I felt sick to my stomach. I'm just glad they're not broadcasting the utterly foolish statements he made, at least on Fox News.

And in Israel:
"President Moshe Katsav says negotiations with PA on poeace settlement can materialize if Hamas reounces terror, recognized Israel."
(http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3207089,00.html)

This makes me absolutely shudder. The thought that all Hamas has to do is say some politically-correct words and then they'll be accepted as peace partners in good faith and we'll get on with it!

HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO FOOLISH?????

Devastating News For Israel!

2006-01-26T19:40:00.000-05:00

This is devastating news that threatens to change the whole situation in the Middle East and possibly for the whole world. The Palestinians held their elections this week, and Hamas has won.

What does that mean?

Fatah, the present administration under Mahmoud Abbas, was involved in negotiations with Israel under the US "Road Map" model of land for peace. That was bad enough. It was a ploy. But it bought time and necessitated that terrorist attacks be kept at a minimum during that time to give the appearance of the Palestinians cooperating with Israel and working toward a "two-state" goal.

This is the end of that story. Now the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group Hamas takes over.

*** Hamas is the terrorist organization that says they will never negotiate with Israel, because their goal is the eradication of Israel off the face of the earth, period.

*** The US has always said it will never negotiate with Hamas because it is an avowed terrorist organization.

*** Hamas candidate, Mahmoud Zahar, said his group is "not going to change a single word" in its covenant calling for Israel's destruction."

This is an awful turning point in the story, and it portends disaster.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper."
-Psalm 122:6

UN Map Shows No Israel

2005-12-08T18:49:00.001-05:00

The United Nations held a "Day of Solidarity withthe Palestinian people" last week. A large map of“Palestine,” with Israel literally wiped off the map, featured prominently in the festivities.
The ceremony was held at the UN headquarters inNew York and was attended by Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Presidents of the UN SecurityCouncil and the General Assembly.

A map labeled a "Map of Palestine” was displayed prominently between UN and PLO flags. The map,with “Palestine” written in Arabic atop it, does not include Israel, a member of the UN for 56 years. The map does not even demarcate the partition lines ofNovember 29, 1947, marking a Jewish state alongside an Arab state, which had been dictated by the UNGeneral Assembly itself in 1947.

With the map hanging behind him, Secretary-General Annan addressed the public meeting at UN Headquarters. At the start of the ceremony, the dignitaries present asked attendees to observe a moment of silence. “I invite everyone present to rise and observe a minute of silence in memory of all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian people,” the master of ceremonies said.“ ( ! ! ! )

Anne Bayefsky, who reported on the event for the"Eye on the UN" organization, said that the ceremony's wording was aimed at giving honor to the worst ofPalestinian terrorists. "It was a moment ... crafted to include the commemoration of suicide-bombers,” she wrote.
Bayefsky and her organization have once again asked the U.S. to withhold funding from the UN.

Islamists Plan World Revolution

2005-11-16T19:45:00.000-05:00

Islamic radicals have been using the Temple Mount as a focal point for planning and preaching the establishment of a world Islamic state with Jerusalem as its capital.

One of the radical groups operating on the Temple Mount is Hizab Altahrir, which espouses an ideology similar to Al Qaeda. Hizab Altahrir’s network spans most Western European countries. The party puts Islamic revolution and an uncompromising form of Jihad ('holy' war) at the top of its political agenda. The group advocates subjecting the entire world to Islamic law, and destroying all non-believing nations and religions.

On the Temple Mount near the Dome of the Rock, Altahrir’s youth recently put up a giant banner declaring "Revolution is a Divine Command." (See top photo). The youth were greeted by partymembers who shouted, "Next year in Jerusalem,under the rule of the Islamic revolution."

Islam Welcomed Into The White House

2005-10-19T19:35:00.000-04:00

You may remember that at the time of the Katrina hurricane I suggested that the event was connected to the pressure the US put on Israel to forcibly remove the Jewish residents of Gaza and hand over that land to the Muslims. Immediately after the Israelis were forcibly evacuated from their southern border, the United States found itself evacuating hundreds of thousands of our citizens from our own southern border.

I had been reading an author who has written a book which shows the correlation of disasters in the US with any incident in which the US opposes the work of God in His program of the restoration of Israel, and the resettling of the children of Jacob in the land of their fathers.

I considered this concept hesitantly, but in reading this book it becomes increasingly clear to me that this indeed seems to be the case. The author cites incident after incident after incident -disasters taking place in the US within a couple days of our government doing something in opposition to God's work in Israel.

I'm only beginning to take note of this phenomenon, but as things occur, I'll be pointing them out. One is occuring right now. If you go to this site: http://usinfo.state.gov/mena/Archive/2005/Oct/17-682061.html you can read the transcript of the President's message at a dinner he held in the White House Monday night for Moslems during their "holy" observance of Ramadan.
Keeping in mind that Islam is the dread enemy of Israel, we also need to recognize that increasingly Islam will be OUR dread enemy. I postulate that official recognition of their false religion and a celebration for them in our White House is an huge offense before God.

"You shall have no other gods before Me."
Exodus 20:3

But that's not all. At this "Iftaar Dinner" held on October 17, President Bush announced "...for the first time in our nation's history, we have added a Koran to the White House Library."

And simultaneously with that announcement, another monster hurricane began forming south of us. At this writing, Wilma is a category 5 hurricane, and Fox News reports that it may weaken, but that at this point it is the strongest Atlantic storm in American history.

I am taking this oppotunity to remind us that the United States of America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation. God himself raised up this country, and his Word has been our stay throughout our history until this very generation which now is making every effort to deceive us into believing that that is not true. But it IS true. And if we let Islam take over, and don't be deceived, that IS their intent, we will lose the blessing and protection of Almighty God and this country will go down. In fact, the United States of America is currently on a toboggan slide into hell. Don't believe me? Just watch.
