WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THESE LAST DAYS?

The scriptures tell us that the Lord will do nothing unless He reveals it to His prophets.
Amos 3:7- "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.KJV".

Gods precious Word has told us everything that will happen in these last days. The Lord spoke and declared that he would bring judgement against all those who go against His beloved Israel. In fact the scriptures predict a final war in which the Sons of Ishmael would play a very important part and pay a very heavy price.

As I hear the radical Muslims rail against Israel and the United States, I am reminded of Goliath when he called out for a soldier to do battle with him. God provided that soldier in a little boy named David who simply believed that God would do what He said He would. You can read about that famous battle in:

1 Samuel 17
"And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them."

We are witnessing the setting up of the final series of events that will usher in the Rapture, the Seven Year Tribulation and the Millenial Reign of Christ. The only question is how long it will be before the Lord gets enough and His patience runs out!

Hal Lindsey has written an excellent expose on Biblical Truths regarding the judgement of the Sons of Ishmael and the last days. Take a look and Think About It.

Oracle Commentaries 11/21/2002
Edom, Islam and The Last Days
The War on Terror and Armageddon

The most powerful sphere of political power of the end time is the revived Roman Empire in Europe. It is destined to rule the West and then the world.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, I predicted in my book, Planet Earth, 2000 AD, that the world of Islam would become the most dangerous threat to world peace.

I wrote then, “Islamic Fundamentalism represents the greatest threat to world peace since World War 2.”

Islam has become even more dangerous than anyone imagined. However, it fits perfectly into the predicted scenario of last days events.

Islamic Fundamentalism has targeted two nations as their most hated enemy, Israel and the United States. They see the United States as the leader of Judeo-Christian culture, which in their view is the greatest threat to Islam.

Since the West of the last days must be ruled and led by the revived Roman culture of Europe, the United States must fade from power. It is on this basis that I see the Islamic world as the main force that will cause the demise of the US as the leader of the Western sphere of world power.

Islamic terrorists now have the ability to destroy our economy and moral and social infrastructures – and in the process take tens of thousands of lives.

Bible prophets predict a momentous role for the Arab sphere of world power. Though they are the least powerful of the four spheres of world power, they are the most strategic. It is this power that will be the driving force toward the world’s last great war called Armageddon.

The four thousand year old hatred that has existed in the descendants of Ishmael and Esau toward the descendants of Isaac and Jacob is the flame that will light the fuse of Armageddon.

God predicts the case against them through the prophet Ezekiel;

“Because you have had EVERLASTING ENMITY and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end, therefore, as I live,” ‘declares the Lord God,’ “I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.” (Ezekiel 35:5-6 NASB)

Ezekiel speaks of “the everlasting enmity” the Arabs have had toward Israel. He notes the continual attacks against them. Then he predicts the judgment that God will bring upon them at the time of “the punishment of the end.” I wrote all about this in my new book, “The Everlasting Hatred, the Roots of Jihad.”

Jeremiah also predicts the judgment against them at the end time. The time of this prophecy’s fulfillment is precisely set:

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘You shall surely drink! For behold, I am beginning to work calamity in this city which is called by My name, and shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment; for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth," declares the Lord of hosts.’” (Jeremiah 25:29 NASB) It is at the end of the Tribulation, just before the return of the Messiah Jesus, when God sends war upon the whole earth.

The names of all of the special recipients of this judgment are given, “EDOM”[a general name for Arab descendants of Esau], “all the kings of Arabia” [the descendants of Ishmael], “all the foreign people who dwell in the desert” [converts to Islam], “the kings of the north – near and far” [Russia and allies] … (Jeremiah 25:21-26 NASB)

God warns that the Arabs would be the special targets of His wrath. The reason given is because they took the land He gave to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants and wouldn’t give it back.

God predicts they would arrogantly appropriate His land that He gave to Israel, “Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against ALL EDOM, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for a prey.”

Ezekiel predicts a great war would start when the Israelites miraculously return to the land and become a state again. He predicts the enemies of Israel by name. The confederacy of nations named is all the modern nations of the Muslim Middle East.

He predicts they will be armed and led by a great power from the extreme north of Israel, which could only be Russia:

“Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them. And you will go up, you will come like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”

The Psalmist predicts the forming of this confederacy against Israel in the end time:

“For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more. For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: The tents of EDOM AND THE ISHMAELITES; Moab and the Hagrites; Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria [Syria] also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot.” (Psa.83:2-8 NKJV)

These nations all make up the Muslim Middle East.

The prophet Amos also prophesies about the Arabs in the end time, “This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins of EDOM, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because he pursued his brother with a sword, stifling all compassion, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked, I will send fire upon Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.’” (Amos 1:11 NIV)

Once again, Edom is the general name for the Arabs of the last days.

The central thesis of the Koran is that the Jews distorted and falsified the original revelation God gave them. Mohammad was sent as the final Seal of the Prophets.

Here are some of the things said in the Hadith and the Koran, the two holy books of Islam.

“The Resurrection of the dead will not come until the Muslims will war with the Jews and the Muslims will kill them. The trees and rocks will say, ‘O Muslim, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” (Mohammad in the Hadith)

“Muslims, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.” (Surah 5:51)

“Those who make war against Allah and His apostle Mohammad and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or banished from the land.” (Surah 5:33-34)

“Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” (Surah 9:73)

“When the sacred months are over, slay the idolators wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” (Surah 9:5)

Christians are considered “polytheists and idolators” because we believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

“NEVER DID ALLAH TAKE TO HIMSELF A SON, and never was there with him any (other) god – in that case would each god have certainly taken away what he created, and some of them would certainly have overpowered others; glory be to Allah above what they describe!” (Surah 23:91)

Verses like these from the Koran and Mohammad have continued to produce a great hate in much of Islam against Jews and Christians.

One of the founders of Saudi Arabia, al Riyadh Saud, said, “The power struggle between Israel and the Arabs is a long-term historical trial. Victory for defeat are for us questions of existence or annihilation – the outcome of an irreconcilable hatred.”

The founder of the terrorist organization Hamas proclaimed, “The war is open until Israel ceases to exist and until the last Jew in the world is eliminated.”

It should be noted that these statements are not the misconceptions of a few Muslim extremists. They are the logical outcome of the very tenets of the Muslim religion itself.

The history of the Arab people, the rise of Islam, the hostility they have maintained toward the Jews, the present contention over the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem, all prove that the Bible is true and that we are in the very last days of the end time. It was all predicted.

In closing, I want to make it clear that God loves the Muslim people. He has always loved the Arabs. Jesus Christ died for every one of them.

He died for every one of them so that they can have a gift of forgiveness and be brought into God’s forever family. But they must recognize that their religion has no provision for making them holy and acceptable to a holy God.

They must throw themselves upon the mercy of God and receive the gift of pardon that Jesus, the Messiah died to purchase for each one of them.

This is also true for any one who is reading this and not sure of where your stand with God. If you want to know Him, and have a personal relationship with Him, receive the gift of pardon Jesus died to purchase for you.

Good morning everyone. Thank you all for visiting this blog site. I have almost had 1000 visitors since starting the op-ed site and I am excited. If this little website will help get truth out to the people then I am truly greatful for the opportunity to do so.

Today I have posted an article by Jon Dougherty from the World Net Daily. In this article Jon explains what is happening to the American People in the courts of this nation. The courts are no longer protecting us and standing by the Constitution they swore to uphold. Thus, we see God being kicked out of our institutions, tax courts refusing to allow jury trials (guaranteed by the Constitution), property rights being violated as well as illegal searches and seizures being allowed. All of these things are being done under "color of law" and not in accord with our Constitution. There is a phrase in the Constitution which declares that any laws written that go against the Constitution, are null and void ( we were never taught that one in school). Now we are learning of the existence of a Secret Court.

Take a look at the article and Think About It. As the American people learn the truth about these matters we will have the opportunity to see the illegal activities stopped and truth prevail once again in our great nation. Later I will post some interesting information about the Bar Association. You will not want to miss this interesting bit of truth.

God Bless

COURTS NO LONGER PROTECT RIGHTS!
By Jon Dougherty

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

© 2002 WorldNetDaily.com

It is often said that the United States is a nation of laws, and, in all honesty, I'd have to agree. Americans now suffer through more laws than ever before, as local, state and federal lawmakers do their level-best to control every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave.

Yet according to our three-tiered system of government, one branch – the judiciary – was established by our founding fathers to ensure that laws made by men and women always pass constitutional muster. If not, the judiciary was empowered to strike them down.

All too often over the past several decades, however, federal courts have repeatedly failed in their mandate to protect us from overreaching, overbearing and overpowering lawmakers and presidents. Sometimes courts even imposed their own will, crafting laws out of whole cloth and completely bypassing the normal legislative process.

Then again, why should we expect our courts to be apolitical? After all, as Republicans and Democrats have proven time and again, the process for selecting and approving federal judges has nothing to do with an ability to interpret the Constitution and everything to do with petty partisan politics. Whether judges are "liberal" or "conservative" should never be an issue, but it always is.

At any rate, the judicial branch's failure to protect Americans was in full bloom again earlier this week after a three-judge federal appeals panel overruled a lower court and said the government indeed could – under the auspices of the audacious Patriot Act – spy on every American for any reason, all in the name of fighting "terrorism" and without a constitutionally required warrant or legitimate cause.

The Patriot Act had already weakened something like a dozen or more privacy protections, analysts say, but this new ruling further erodes even those weakened protections, granting Attorney General John Ashcroft and his successors at the Justice Department and in the White House Nazi-like power to snoop on all of us, naturally in the name of "security."

How can this be? The Fourth Amendment is clear and states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Shouldn't any federal court be able to interpret the new powers sought by the Bush administration as an abject violation of a basic constitutional protection?

In ordinary times, perhaps, but even this "lower court" overruled by the three-judge appeals panel was no ordinary court. Rather, it was the "ultra-secret" Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, whose jurisdiction is to oversee sensitive law-enforcement surveillance by the U.S. government, away from the public's view.

Why a "secret court" even exists in the "land of the free" in the first place ought to be a question on every sane person's lips, but interestingly, this court had originally ruled against Ashcroft's expanded powers request because – get this – it was afraid the government would abuse its new authority.

Our government abusing its power? Exceeding its authority? Say it ain't so.

The court's "May 17 ruling was the first-ever substantial defeat for the government on a surveillance issue, and its unprecedented, declassified public opinion issued in August documented abuses of surveillance warrants in 75 instances [my emphasis] during both the Bush and Clinton administrations," Reuters reported.

It's bad enough when legitimate federal courts fail to protect Americans' basic constitutional rights, but how bad has it become when an aberrant federal court tries to do its judicial duty and is overruled by a legitimate federal court?

Where's the oversight? It isn't in the legislative branch – Congress passed the Patriot Act and the legislation creating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. It isn't in the executive branch – presidents have signed off on these abuses of authority. It should, therefore, have been the courts which preserved our rights.

Ignoring the Constitution in the 21st century is being excused in the same way it was in the 20th century – under euphemisms like "national security" and "crisis." Then, as now, courts that are supposed to be a check on such abuses of power are missing in action or, worse, acting in concert with the powerbrokers.

Americans are being given fewer and fewer choices for redress of grievances. The last time that happened, 680,000 of our predecessors killed each other. If none of the three branches of government care about the Constitution, should we?

Ilana Mercer posted an article to The World Net Daily site today that discusses the 16th Ammendment. I agree with her that it should be repealed and ended. Bill Bensen took two years out of his life to go to every State Archive and investigate the ratification historical documents and has proven that it was never legally ratified. You can read about the hoax and order his book at:
The Law That Never Was Website. This information will shock and anger you when you realize that the 16th Ammendment was never legally ratified. Again you will never get the politicians to admit this and because of that fact, we have been forced to continually shell out our hard earned money because of an unconstitutional law! In the The 1916 Pollock vs Union Pacific Railroad Case,the Supreme Court stated in its findings:

(c) As the right to tax 'incomes from whatever source derived' for which the Amendment provides must be considered as exacting intrinsic uniformity, therefore no tax comes under the authority of the Amendment not conforming to such standard, and hence all the provisions of the assailed statute must once more be tested solely under the general and pre-existing provisions of the Constitution, causing the statute again to be void in the absence of apportionment.

This ruling affirmed the Constitution when it states that any direct tax had to be apportioned among the several States and that means that each person was supposed to pay the same amount.

Remember that the money collected through these corrupt taxes goes to the Federal Reserve members and not to our Treasury. An informed citizenry is our only hope to get this matter resolved.

Here is another view on taxation and the 16th Ammendment. Think About It!

Repeal The Abominable 16th Amendment!

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
–The 16th Amendment

What are we to make of the idea Washington is floating of replacing tax on income with a national sales tax? The Cato Institute has described it as "simpler, more efficient, pro-growth and fairer to taxpayers." And I must be missing something because I thought we already paid taxes on products and services. In addition to states where a sales tax already exists, sizeable portions of the prices we pay are taxes. The quandary as to whether an indirect consumption tax is better than taxes on income masks what's probably in the offing.

Once a tax is pushed through it seldom disappears. Last I looked, government at all levels was consuming approximately 47 percent of the national income and growing. A reversal of the trend is almost unheard of among developed nations. To keep the State in style, consumption taxes will have to go through the roof. On the plus side, the consumer can opt out, something he can't do with a tax on income. On the downside, should he "choose" not to purchase, the consumer may starve or be destined to a rather austere life.

In all likelihood, "tax reform" will leave us with the income tax in addition to more consumption taxes. Hopes realistically must be much more modest. Let the idea of a tax reform, for once, engender a discussion about First Principles, the kind Americans of the 19th century had and were capable of having.

However contemptible taxes on consumption are, Frank Chodorov insisted that taxes on income and inheritance were "different in principle from all other taxes." In the seminal work, "The Income Tax: Root of all Evil," he elaborates:


The government says to the citizen: "Your earnings are not exclusively your own; we have a claim on them, and our claim precedes yours; we will allow you to keep some of it, because we recognize your need, not your right; but whatever we grant you for yourself is for us to decide."


Fundamentally, taxes on income imply a complete denial of private property, which is what socialism is in all its permutations; it rejects man's absolute and natural right to his property and vests property rights in the political establishment. The 16th Amendment did just that. When they incorporated the Amendment into the Constitution, Americans said a resounding "yes" to socialism.

Make no mistake: What's staving off communism is not the Constitution. If it so chooses, Congress has constitutional imprimatur to raise taxes to 100 percent of income, an odd thing considering the Declaration of Independence vests the source of man's rights in the Creator, not in government.

Philosopher Ayn Rand explained the source of man's rights with reference to man's nature. "Rights are conditions of existence required by man's nature for his survival," she wrote in "Atlas Shrugged." Be it the nature of man or divine law, "congressional law" is never the source of man's rights – it is merely entrusted with protecting the rights with which man is imbued.

This, the 16th Amendment corrupted.

In order to survive, man must – and it is in his nature to – transform the resources around him by mixing his labor with them and making them his own. Man's labor and his property are extensions of himself. As Chodorov elucidates, the right of ownership is an extension of the right to life. If ownership is not an absolute right but is instead subject to the vagaries of majority vote, then so is the right to life.

Statists will always counter by claiming that if not for the State, man would be unable to produce. Poppycock! Production predates government predation. Government doesn't produce wealth – it only consumes it. What, pray tell, would government have fed off if man were not hard at work well before the advent of the bureaucracy? That's like saying that the tick created the dog! As usual, the statists have it topsy-turvy. First came man – he is the basic unit of society, without which there can be no society. And without man's labor there is no wealth for government to siphon.

However you slice it, there is no moral difference between a lone burglar who steals stuff he doesn't own and an "organized society" that does the same. In a just society, the moral strictures that apply to the individual must also apply to the collective. A society founded on natural rights must not finesse theft.

The Founders intended for government to safeguard man's natural rights. The 16th Amendment gave government a limitless lien on a man's property and, by extension, on his life. The Amendment turned government into the almighty source – rather than the protector – of man's rights and Americans into indentured slaves.

Those people who are not governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. -- William Penn
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE VICTORY TAX!

In 1943, I was just a sparkle in my Daddy's eye! Many of you were already occupying a space on Planet Earth and some may remember the happenings of World War 2. The Victory Tax was imposed on the American Citizens in January of 1943 and was only to last for two years (according to the Constitutional limitations). This was a dark time in America when food, automobile tires, gasoline and even shoes were being rationed. Americans were united as always to defeat evil. My husband states that along with the other taxes ( Public Tax Act of 1939 that created witholding taxes) imposed, 50% of his parents income went to pay taxes by the end of the war.

Now thanks to Roosevelt, voluntary Social Security was already in place and a modest income tax was being imposed on corporations and federal employees.In order to get the people to accept this draconian tax, the United States Government hired Walt Disney to make a cartoon about patriotism and the Victory Tax. Mr. Disney brought on board, Donald Duck and the video shows our old friend Donald rushing down to the IRS Office to pay his income tax. Bob and I have a copy of that video and if ever I saw pure propaganda, that movie was it. One thing that we were not taught in the Federal Schools is that the tax was only for two years. However after the war, they kept collecting it and now we have the monstrous IRS that is using extortion and fear to rob the American People of their hard earned money.

I have provided a link below to a site that has a copy of the original Victory Tax Brochure. Take a walk down Memory Lane and see for yourself what it had to say. Then ask this question. Why are they still collecting this tax? . The government could only impose such a tax during war and it could only last for two years. Perhaps this is why we have been subjected to The War Powers Act ever since.

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE ORIGINAL BROCHURE:
The Victory Tax is a tax of 5% on every individual who has an annual income of more than $624 ($12 per week). It is in addition to the regular Income and Social Security taxes. The Victory tax starts January 1, 1943, and ceases at the end of the war.

I think you will enjoy studying this interesting document that is now online for all to see. We must demand accountability from our politicians who will not address the issue of the Unconstitutional Income Tax. If you do, I would love to hear their response. It is amazing that they tell us the same IRS mantra. Truth is, this country is being forced to pay a (voluntary tax) that they don't owe in many instances. There are some people that do owe taxes (excise taxes on corprations, federal & state employees including those elected and appointed because of the privilige of working for the government). The majority of American People living in the Several States do not owe these taxes. This is the truth but you will never get the foxes in the henhouse to admit it voluntarily.

THINK ABOUT IT!
***** NOTE: I would love to hear comments from those who remember the reaction of the American People to this tax and what happened..

The CARA BILL

STOP THE LAME-DUCK CONGRESSIONAL LAND GRAB!


Well it looks like Congress is up to their old tricks of passing legislation when Congress is about to close for the year (That is exactly how the Federal Reserve got voted in). This bill is a big one and it will create more federal power to take away land from private citizens! I have the explanatory email below with a link that you can use to email your Congressmen to oppose this bill. See what you think and let our representatives know how you feel about this issue. Think about it!

This CONSERVATIVE ALERT prepared for Elaine Moreland:
ISSUE:


And you thought that the old Congress couldn't do any
more damage? Think again.

According to the American Land Rights Association
(landrights.org), "just when you thought it was over... the
politicians in Washington, DC, at 2:35am, approved a massive
new program with NO debate, NO hearings, and NO recorded vote
in the House of Representatives. It was approved by 'unanimous
consent' with only a handful of members present, on the final
day the House was in session for the year."

S. 990, a version of CARA (the Condemnation and Relocation Act),
is well-known in conservative circles as a discredited land-grab
bill. It had not moved for eleven months, until the dark of
night in the wee hours of last Friday morning.

You may recall at the end of 2001, just four days before
Christmas, the Senate approved S. 990 at 11:45pm, with only
three Senators present, NO debate, NO hearings, NO vote --
just "unanimous consent" on their last night in session for
the year, after nearly all Senators had left the Capitol.

This time it was the House of Representatives' turn. It was
the last day the House was in session for the year, November
15, 2:35am. Nearly all congressmen had gone home, NO debate,
NO hearings, NO vote, just "unanimous consent" and a BILLION
dollar enviro-pork-barrel land-grabbing disaster -- S. 990,
the "Son of CARA" -- was approved.

This is representative government? It's time for us to take action.

ACTION ITEM: The good news is, the Senate last year, and the House this
year, approved DIFFERENT versions of S. 990. So, the bill must go back to
the Senate because the House made some changes.

The U.S. Senate will vote Tuesday Nov. 19 or Wednesday Nov. 20 on whether
to give final approval to S. 990. Due to the short time available, if only
a few Senators object by placing a "hold" on S. 990, then it will not move
and will not be considered. In other words, five or six Senators are
needed to place a "hold" on S. 990, and that will STOP Congress' midnight
land-gram.

CLICK BELOW to contact your Senators NOW and ask them to put a "hold" on
S. 990. Because it is the last few days the Senate is in session, a few
Senators putting a "hold" on any bill will effectively kill it, since it
will delay it till next year. CLICK BELOW:

http://www.conservativealerts.com/111802.htm

AOL CLICK HERE

NOTE: ANY Senator can stop S. 990 by simply putting what is called a
"hold" on the bill. That will delay it until next year. WHOEVER your
Senator is, PLEASE contact them. The "conservatives" may not like it
because of the land grabs and wasted tax funds, and the "liberals" and
Democrats may not like it because it is a big payoff to a couple of
retiring Republicans. BOTH shouldn't like it because it never received ANY
debate in either the House or the Senate. It was snuck through both houses
at the last minute.

Please forward this to everyone you know who wants to see true
representative government, will bills debated and voted on in the light of
day, not snuck through in the dark of night. Thank you!

THINK ABOUT IT: FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE

Hope everyone is enjoying a good Lords Day. It is a chilly 48 in Georgia and is raining! I guess we are about to experience winter in the South.
I received this email from the Temple Mount Faithful this morning and I want to share it with all of you. I have always taught in my Sunday School classes that to understand end time prophecies, you need to keep your eye on Israel.

Gershon Salmon who is Founder of the Temple Mount Faithful, wrote this commentary. He was part of the military that took Jerusalem and the Temple Mount for Israel during the Six Day War in 1967. This group feels they have been ordained to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and they love the God of the Bible very much. Gershon speaks all over the world and is loved by Christians the world over. Here is a view by one planning to build the Temple for Mishiach ben David ( The Messiah) . After the article, there is a link posted to their site and I thoroughly love going there to look at world events through a Jewish perspective. Note they spell the name of the Lord as G-d. They view His name so Holy that they will not write the complete name out. I wish more Christians could get a view of the Holiness of our Heavenly Father. The Temple Mount Faithful are determined to build the Temple of God on Mount Moriah. Most prophetic scholars believe that this is the one the Anti-Christ will desecrate at the 31/2 year period of the Great Tribulation.

Let us all pray for Israel. My heart grieves at how the people are suffering. I pray also that many there will soon come to realize that Jesus of Nazareth is Mishiach ben David, He is their Redeemer and that He loves them so much! Also, let us pray for the leaders of Israel and the United States that our Father will open their eyes to His will for the task ahead.

God Bless

12 Israelis Murdered in a Terrorist Attack on Jewish Worshippers Near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron by Terrorists of the Islamic Jihad
The Are Trying to Destroy and Prevent the Return of the Jewish People to the City of The Jewish Forefathers



They Will Not Succeed! G–d Will Not Allow Them To!

The Israeli Army Re-Liberated Hebron after the Terror Attack

On the evening of 15th November, 2002 , 12 Israelis were murdered by terrorists from the Islamic Jihad terrorist group in an ambush which they set near the Cave of the Patriarchs. The attack was launched against Jewish worshippers walking on their way from the Cave of the Patriarchs back to their homes in nearby Kiriat Arba. Amongst the 12 who were murdered were soldiers and a colonel in the IDF who came to protect the worshippers. In the battle, the terrorists were eventually killed by the Israeli Army but Israel paid a high price in the blood of her people.

These terrorists intended to make a mega-attack and to attack the Jewish population in Kiriat Arba-Hebron by carrying out the slaughter of the Jews in the area and the murder of families and innocent Jewish civilians. Thanks to G–d they were stopped by the Israeli army before they came to this area.

At the time of writing this report, the Israeli army again entered Hebron and re-liberated the city. The army is attacking and destroying the terrorist’s bases and has caught and arrested many of them. The decision has been taken that the army will not leave the city again. The Israeli inhabitants of Hebron have decided to settle all the area from where the terrorists shot and killed the Israelis. They stated that there is no power in the world which will again remove the G–d and people of Israel from the holy city of Hebron and from the Cave of the Patriarchs. They also said that this inhuman attack will strengthen their roots and the roots of the Jewish People in Hebron forever. New Jewish life will grow up out of the blood and death of these heroes. The terrorists will destroy, the only thing that they know how to do, and the Israelis will build Hebron and all the land of Israel for the honour of the G–d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

As stated above, the result price was a very heavy and dear price of blood. The Israeli colonel, Colonel Dror Weinberg, 34,was a heroic soldier of the Israeli Army and the commander of the paratroop forces in the area of Judaea. It is no wonder that he fell while storming the terrorist position at the head of his soldiers with no fear of the terrible fire of the ambush. He was one of the best commanders in the Israeli Army and his death is a very great loss. This is the character of the Israeli commanders. They lead their soldiers into battle. Often they are the first to fall in the battles. Colonel Weinberg was a religious man and graduated from the Yeshiva of Rabbi Kook. Some of the best of the Jewish settlers have come from this Yeshiva. They were educated their in the prophetic godly values and they are the messengers of this generation to fulfil G–d’s end-time mission to redeem the land, to re-settle it and to re-establish the kingdom of G–d in the land of Israel that He gave to them in an eternal covenant. Colonel Weinberg was an end-time Israeli hero of the G–d of Israel exactly like the biblical heroes of King David. He is now together with G–d to stand and fight together with Him for His people, Israel, and for His prophetic end-time plans. He left a pregnant wife and 5 young children. His name will be written in letters of gold in G–d’s book and the history of this critical time in Israel.

All the others who fell in this battle were also heroes. They did not hesitate to storm these evil enemies in the face of their fire. One of them sacrificed his life in this battle in an especially heroic way when he ran towards the ambush to draw the fire of the terrorists so that the other Israeli soldiers could identify the source of the terrorist fire and where they were located and in this way kill the murderers.

This evil attack came one week after another group of Arab terrorists murdered a mother and her 2 children and 2 other innocent adults on Kibbutz Metzer in a satanic way. Only the messengers of the devil could attack and murder Jewish worshippers in one of the holiest places in the land of Israel.

This cruel terror attack came after the Israel army had recently left the city of Hebron under the pressure of George W. Bush, President of the United States, and the European Union. The withdrawal from the city by the Israeli army allowed this terrorist group to return to the city and attack the Jewish worshippers.

These inhuman murderers have no respect for any godly, moral or human laws and values. They murder babies, children, women, and the elderly in cold blood. They have no respect for worshippers coming to this very holy place to worship the G–d of Israel. They murder people in the name of their pagan god. A god which sends his people to murder such innocent people in cold blood can only be a pagan idol or satan himself.

Israeli is mourning her very dear losses but she stands strongly with her G–d to protect the land that G–d gave her against any enemy which will come to destroy the great prophetic end-time event of the redemption of the people and land of Israel, Jerusalem and the holy house of G–d on the Temple Mount. This is another one of the evil attacks against the G–d and people of Israel which have never stopped since G–d sent Abraham to the land of Israel to start his godly mission to his seed and to all the nations. The people of Israel have not stopped sacrificing their children, fathers and mothers on their way to fulfilling the mission of G–d . Many millions of Jews have fallen on this mission when, in a heroic way, they were ready to be faithful to the mission and the land which G–d gave them no matter how heavy the price of blood.

So many evil powers have tried to destroy the people of Israel, the mission which G–d gave them and His Word through many attacks in Biblical times, in the 2000-year exile and again now. Many nations which were attacked throughout history have disappeared and so have all the powers which have attacked Israel. Only Israel, the small people which G–d created thousands of years ago, the most ancient people in the world, has survived so many bloody attacks, destructions, holocausts, pogroms and cruel terror attacks. Despite this they have returned to the same land which G–d gave them and promised to them thousands of years ago.

What is the secret of the eternal survival of the small Israeli nation? There is only one answer! It is the G–d of Israel and the Universe Who created the Israeli nation and gave it eternal life. G–d chose this people to fulfil an eternal godly mission and He has now regathered them to the land which He gave only to them to be the land where He dwells together with them and from where His mission to the seed of Abraham and all the world will be fulfilled to be the focus of all His end-time plans and activities.

The destiny of the evil Arab and Islamic enemies of Israel will be like that of all the past enemies of Israel. Like all of their predecessors they will soon be removed from the Promised Land of Israel and will disappear under the judgement of G–d. Like Nehemiah, we tell them today in the Name of the G–d of Israel, what he said to another Arab enemy, named Geshem, who, together with his friends, tried to destroy the godly redemption of Israel in his time - “Then I answered them, and said to them: The God of heaven will make us prosper, and we his servants will arise and build; but you have no portion, no right, no memorial, in Jerusalem.” (Nehemiah2:20)

Again in this difficult and critical time, the people of Israel swears faithfulness to the G–d of Israel, the Holy Land that He gave to them, to His Word and to the eternal godly mission that He gave them. We shall continue to rebuild Jerusalem, Hebron, Shechem and all the other Biblical cities. We shall continue to rebuild the land which G–d gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their seed, Israel. We shall continue to plant many trees in the honour of G–d and plant our roots deeply in this blessed land. We shall continue to struggle for the rebuilding of the temple, the house of G–d, for His prophetic end-time plans with Israel and all the world and for the soon coming of Mashiach ben David.

There is no enemy in the world, including the devil himself, which can stop the G–d and people of Israel from bringing to fulfilment these exciting prophetic end-time words and plans. We swore that all of these words will come to pass as G–d expects us to do in the life of this generation no matter what will be the price. Not only the destiny of Israel is dependent on it but the destiny of all the world and mankind. We pray that one day soon all mankind will understand this and stand with Israel in her critical battle to protect and to bring all of this to pass for the sake of all mankind.

The holy city of Hebron, to where the Jewish people are now regathered by G–d, and Jerusalem are the most ancient Biblical Jewish cities. The deepest roots of the Jewish People are in these cities. The childhood of the Jewish People started here when Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the fathers of the Jewish People, together with Sarah, Rebecah, Leah and Rachel, were sent by G–d to this city and, except for Rachel, were buried there in the Machpela Cave. Hebron is next to Jerusalem in holiness. Here the Jewish People was born and, together with Jerusalem and all the land, here is the very rock of the existence of the Jewish People. Hebron and all the area south of Jerusalem was allocated to the tribe of Judah when G–d gave the land to the 12 tribes in the time of Joshua. According to the commandment of G–d to Joshua, it was to be an important focus not only to the tribe of Judah but to all the people of Israel. Throughout the Biblical times, Hebron and the mountains around it were settled by a large Jewish population. Together with Jerusalem it was the focus of the Kingdom of Judah. It was not easy for the major powers of the Biblical times to destroy the Kingdom of Judah when they repeatedly attacked them. The Israeli kingdom survived until 70CE when the Romans destroyed the Temple and Jerusalem but even after the destruction and after most of the Jewish people were taken into exile by the Roman and Arab occupations, Jewish life and settlements never ceased in Hebron and the surrounding mountains. It is no accident that the greatest king of Israel, King David, who established the united Israeli kingdom of all the 12 tribes, made Hebron his first capital of Israel. Hebron was the capital for 7 years until King David moved the capital to Jerusalem according to the Word of G–d. Even after the capital was moved to Jerusalem, Hebron was like a part of Jerusalem in holiness and an important focus of the Israeli kingdom second only to Jerusalem. As with Jerusalem, the Israeli People held on tightly to Hebron as a foundation and symbol of their hold on all the land which G–d gave to them.

The Jewish settlement in Hebron never ceased throughout history even after the destruction in 70CE and the Arab occupation of the land of Israel in the 7th Century. The Jewish settlement in Hebron continued until 1929 when the Arabs carried out a cruel pogrom against the Jewish inhabitants and murdered hundreds of Jews including babies, children and the elderly, innocent civilians. They murdered them in terribly cruel and satanic ways for which there are no words to describe. They did not even have mercy on the dead bodies and abused them. The Jewish presence in Hebron ceased after this cruel pogrom until 1967 when the G–d of Israel brought His people back to Hebron and the Israeli army liberated this Jewish holy city from a long Arab occupation and re-united it with their forefathers who are buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs and waited for the return of their children. Throughout the Arab occupation of Hebron up until 1967, Jews were not allowed by the foreign Arab occupiers of the city to visit their forefathers and to pray there in the building which King Herod built for the Jewish people more than 2000 years ago. In an anti-godly and inhuman way they only allowed the Jews to come up to 7 steps away from the cave. This is exactly as they did to Jews who came to worship on the Temple Mount. As on the Temple Mount, the hearts of the Jews were broken when they prevented from visiting and unite with their forefathers by a cruel foreign enemy.

On Friday 15th November, they again tried to prevent the Jews from uniting with their forefathers in the Cave of the Patriarchs and from worshipping their G–d in this very holy place. Much Jewish blood has been spilled in this holy place and all over the land of Israel over the last 4000 years and now again. The goal of the Arab Islamic enemy is to destroy the great godly prophetic end-time event in Israel. They want to stop G–d from His end-time activities with Israel. They want to stop the rebuilding of Jerusalem, Hebron and all the land by the people of G–d and to destroy the kingdom of G–d that Israel is now so busily rebuilding and preparing to be the focus of G–d and all mankind as G–d promised in His prophetic Word. They want to carry out another pogrom as the did in Hebron not only in Hebron but all over the land and to make another Holocaust in Israel and push the Israeli people into the Mediterranean. They will not succeed. They have never learnt from their own experience when they were defeated 7 times since 1948 when they attacked Israel with the same goal. G–d promised that never again will their be destruction in Israel and, together with His Israeli army, He defeated all of them. The G–d of Israel is determined to complete what He started in 1948 when He re-established the State of Israel in the same land that He promised them in an eternal covenant and He is determined to redeem all the world through Israel. The current Arab Islamic enemy of Israel cannot stop this major godly prophetic event and soon they will be removed from the Holy Land of the G–d and people of Israel. The innocent Jewish blood that they again spilled in Hebron, Metzer and other places will never be forgotten and they will be judged by G–d on the Day of Judgement which is soon to come.

The G–d of Israel is speaking His prophetic Word to all the Arab enemies and all the nations of the world. They had better listen to it and understand and accept what G–d is doing with Israel in this Holy Land which He gave to them. -

“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: And you, son of man, take one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the people of Israel his companions; then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions; And join them one to the other into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand. And when your people shall speak to you, saying: Will you not tell us what you mean by these? Say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with him, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. And say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land; And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all; ... And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd; they shall also follow my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, where your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their grandchildren for ever; and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” (Ezekiel37:15-22,24-28) “And the desolate land shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that was in the sight of all who passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities have become fortified, and are inhabited. Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places, and have replanted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it. Thus says the Lord God: This also I will let the house of Israel, ask me to do for them; I will increase their men like a flock. Like the flock of sacrifices, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts, shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am the Lord.” (Ezekiel36:34-38) “For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall return upon your own head. For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; indeed, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.” (Obadiah15,16)

Today the people of Israel are praying the lamentation of David for king Saul and his son Jonathon for the heroes who died in the battle against the evil terrorists in Hebron who fell and through their deaths gave life to the people of Israel.

“And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son; And he said To teach the sons of Judah the use of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar. The beauty, O Israel, is slain upon your high places; how are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. You, Mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. Saul and Jonathan were loved and dear in their lives, and in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places. I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very dear have you been to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!” (2Samuel1:17-27)

In G–d we trust.
