Here we have another one of those irrelevant statements from another one of the less than moderate Christian Zionists prophecy websites!

The Elephant of Jew Hatred

By Caroline B. Glick 

Hatred of Jews is the central animating feature of the political and strategic reality of the Middle East. It is hatred of Jews that dictates the legal regimes, foreign policies, military aspirations, cultural mores, educational themes and even public health policies of our neighbours from Ramallah to Tehran.

Despite the centrality of Jew-hatred in all aspects of public life in the Arab and Muslim world, our neighbors' unrelenting and irrational abhorrence for Israel and the Jewish people remains a dirty secret that you aren't supposed to mention in polite company. From Washington to Brussels, talk of the policy implications of Arab and Muslim Jew-hatred is prohibited.

Omar Abu-Sneina, a convicted terrorist murderer, is one of the thousand Palestinian terrorists that Israel released from prison in order to secure the release of Israeli hostage IDF Sgt.- Maj. Gilad Schalit. Originally from Hebron, Abu-Sneina was released to Hamas-controlled Gaza.

This week the IDF announced that since his release Abu-Sneina has returned to the terror business. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) intercepted a computer memory card he sent his family in Hebron with instructions for how his fellow terrorists should go about kidnapping and holding IDF soldiers hostage. The instructions demonstrate how for Abu-Sneina, Israelis don't even deserve to be treated like animals.

Among other things, he discussed how to hide a hostage. As he put it, "Avoid hiding [the captive soldier] in desolate places, tunnels or forests, unless the aforementioned [captive] is a corpse or a severed head. If the aforementioned is a live human, that must be visited at least once a week and provided with food and drink, it is best to hide him in a house, an agricultural farm, a workplace, etc."

Abu-Sneina's coldblooded cruelty and rejection of the inherent value of the lives of Israelis is not simply a function of the fact that he is a terrorist. It is a reflection of the values of Palestinian society. Those values are continuously expressed and reinforced by Fatah- and Hamas-controlled media outlets, cultural and educational institutions and religious authorities. The ubiquitousness of Jew-hatred in the daily lives of Palestinians is so overwhelming it is difficult to imagine any facet of Palestinian life that isn't inundated by it.

Take grammar lessons. According to a translation provided by Palestinian Media Watch, the Palestinian Authority's Arabic language matriculation examinations for high school students include questions such as "Punctuate the underlined phrase: Do not view the occupier as human." And "Punctuate the underlined phrase: We shall die in order that our land may live."

This week, a Palestinian court sentenced Muhammad Abu Shahala to death for selling a home in Hebron near the Cave of the Patriarchs to Jews. Shahala was arrested shortly after several Jewish families moved into the house last month. He was reportedly tortured and quickly tried and sentenced to die by a PA court.

 The PA was established in May 1994. The first law it adopted defined selling land to Jews as a capital offense. Shortly thereafter scores of Arab land sellers began turning up dead in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria in both judicial and extrajudicial killings.

Leaders of the Jewish community of Hebron wrote a letter to international leaders this week asking them to intervene with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and demand that he cancel Shahala's sentence. They addressed the letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, the director-general of the International Red Cross, Yves Daccord, as well as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres. In it they wrote, "It is appalling to think that property sales should be defined as a 'capital crime' punishable by death.

"The very fact that such a 'law' exists within the framework of the PA legal system points to a barbaric and perverse type of justice, reminiscent of practices implemented during the dark ages."

They went on to make the reasonable comparison between the PA's law prohibiting land sales to Jews to Nazi Germany's Nuremberg laws that constrained and finally outlawed trade between Jews and Germans. The letter concluded with the question, "Is the Palestinian Authority a reincarnation of the Third Reich?"

The Palestinians of course are far from unique in their obsession with hating Jews. Their hemorrhage of hatred, their obsessive need to reject any move towards peaceful coexistence with Israel, or what the renowned late Palestinian poet Yousuf Al Khatib referred to picturesquely as "the Jewish filth of Europe," is matched in every Arab land. And of course, it is the primary obsession of the Iranian regime.

The parallels between Nazi laws and the laws of the PA and the Arab states that outlaw all cooperation with Israel and make such cooperation a capital offense are obvious and straightforward. Yet generally speaking, anyone who points out this fact is automatically dismissed as an alarmist or an extremist. Given the PA's relative military weakness when compared with Israel and the Arab world's current lack of interest in waging active war against Israel, noting their inarguable ideological affinity with the Nazis is considered socially and even intellectually unacceptable. The fact that they lack the ability to implement their ideology renders it improper to mention it.

The social prohibition on drawing parallels between the threats facing Israel today and those that faced the Jewish people 70 years ago is not limited to the discourse on the Arab world's conflict with Israel. It also extends to polite society's discourse on Iran's nuclear program, which the Iranian regime has repeatedly made clear is aimed at destroying Israel.

In his address to the nation at the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony at Yad Vashem on Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu took aim at that taboo when he attacked those who accuse him of belittling the Holocaust by comparing the annihilation of European Jewry to the threat posed by Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Netanyahu said,

"I know there are also those who believe that the unique evil of the Holocaust should never be invoked in discussing other threats facing the Jewish people. To do so, they argue, is to belittle the Holocaust and to offend its victims.

"I totally disagree. On the contrary. To cower from speaking the uncomfortable truth—that today like then, there are those who want to destroy millions of Jewish people—that is to belittle the Holocaust, that is to offend its victims and that is to ignore the lessons.

"Not only does the prime minister of Israel have the right, when speaking of these existential dangers, to invoke the memory of a third of our nation which was annihilated. It is his duty."

Netanyahu is right, of course. Unfortunately for Israel, raising the Holocaust in the context of a discussion about contemporary threats to the Jewish people is the rhetorical equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb. Just as no one is allowed to use a nuclear bomb, no one is allowed to mention the Holocaust. And that means that there is ultimately no way to speak about the violent hatred that animates our enemies in every aspect of their policy making. From the seemingly anodyne issue of property sales to the existential issue of nuclear weapons programs, the Jew-hatred that lies at the foundation of their actions is out of bounds for discussion.

Actually, the situation is both better and worse than that. Netanyahu's rhetorical boldness in drawing the parallel between Iran and the Nazis is arguably the only reason that the EU and the Obama administration have taken any actions against Iran. No, as their feckless negotiations with the mullahs, their foot-dragging in implementing economic sanctions, and their outspoken opposition to military action against Iran make clear, they do not really mind the prospect of Iran acquiring the ability to wipe out the Jewish state. The only reason they have adopted sanctions at all is because Netanyahu's Holocaust rhetoric made them fear that Israel would attack Iran's nuclear installations if they didn't.

On the other hand, when it comes to their direct dealings with Jew-haters, Westerners not only fail to confront them about their prejudice. They enable it. For instance, at a townhall meeting during her visit to Tunisia last month, Hillary Clinton was asked how US leaders can be trusted when during elections, "most of the candidates from both sides run towards the Zionist lobbies to get their support."

Rather than reject the anti-Jewish premise of the question—that Jews exert inordinate control over US politics or that there is something wrong with candidates expressing support for Israel—Clinton treated the question as legitimate.

She said, "A lot of things are said in political campaigns that should not bear a lot of attention."

Clinton even congratulated her anti-Jewish questioner, saying, "I think it's a fair question because I... sometimes am a little surprised that people around the world pay more attention to what is said in our political campaigns than most Americans."

Similarly, a report on the behind the scenes goings on at last weekend's nuclear negotiations with Iran published by Al-Monitor described the friendly discussion that took place at a dinner Friday night between EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Iranian chief negotiator Saeed Jalili. According to a European diplomat, the conversation was aimed at breaking the ice. And it included a discussion of "political party funding in the US."

 It is hard to imagine that such a discussion involved anything other than a group tongue-clucking session directed against the inordinate impact of "Jewish money" on US electoral politics. That is, it is all but impossible to imagine that the discussion involved anything other than Ashton attempting to build a rapport with her Iranian counterpart based on shared hatred or contempt for Jews.

The fact that the West refuses to consider the policy implications of the most powerful force in Arab and Iranian policy-making and political life does not mean that Israeli policy-makers should necessarily expand their discussion of the topic—although it would probably not hurt for them to do so. What it means is that the general policy debate in the West about the nature of Middle Eastern politics is completely divorced from reality.

Because the Americans and the Europeans refuse to acknowledge the elephant of Jew-hatred in the middle of the room, they cannot be trusted to make reasoned or rational policy decisions. And since they cannot be trusted to act rationally, Israel cannot rely on the Americans or the Europeans as allies or partners when it confronts threats from its Jew-obsessed neighbours.

Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham.

Russias "Zombie Ray Gun" Program

MOSCOW - While many believed it to be an April Fool’s Day joke, Vladimir Putin has confirmed Russia has been testing mind-bending psychotronic guns that can effectively turn people into zombies. The futuristic weapons – which attack their victims’ central nervous system – are being developed by scientists and could be used against Russia’s enemies and even its own dissidents by the end of the decade. Mr. Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals. Plans to introduce the super-weapons were announced by Russian defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov. While the technology has been around for some time, Mr. Tsyganok said the guns were recently tested for crowd control purposes. “When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan,” Mr. Tsyganok said. “Still, we know very little about this weapon and even Special Forces guys can hardly cope with it,” he said. Research into electromagnetic weapons has been carried out in the US and Russia since the ’50s but it appears Putin has stolen a march on the US. Precise details have not been revealed but previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone’s thoughts. Mr. Putin said the technology is comparable in effect to nuclear weapons but “more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.” Mr. Serdyukov said the weaponry based on new physics principles – direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons and psychotronic weapons – were part of the state arms procurement program for 2011-2020. –Herald Sun

Whenever there is a date mentioned relative to a story such as this, in this instance they have mentioned the end of the decade, there always needs to be room for caution. If the technology relative to the achievement of these weapons had advanced to such a state that the enemies of the Russians actually knew they were already perfected that could prove to be a distinct disadvantage to the Russians in their quest for global domination as the ultimate rulers of the New World Order if that information were readily available?

Accordingly, what I am suggesting here is that the Russians may have already perfected the weapon mentioned without wishing to disclose that information to the world? Moreover, if that is the case then we/the world may be in more trouble than what we can imagine?

Accordingly, In the light of recent news where it has already been reported Putin has already told his generals to prepare for Armageddon the world should really treat that information with the seriousness that is deserves?

This is not intended to be scaremongering in any shape of form whatsoever, but what we may be looking at here with this very recent announcement maybe the fulfilment of the prophecies of Revelation Chapter 6 that tell us that the Antichrist is to be given a large sword (meaning a weapon) with which he takes peace from the earth?

If that is the case, then there is real room for concern?

In this instance, what we may be looking at here is the final phase before the world enters into the final seven years of humanities existence here on the earth?

One can then imagine what is going to happen if Satan ever enters Putin, with a weapon like this at his disposal what the global consequences are going to be for the entirety of humanity?

Revelation Chapter 6

1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

WHY THE COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND THE JEWS WAS BROKEN WHEN THEY HUNG CHRIST ON THE CROSS?

If it seems that I have been harping on the one subject matter of Christianity and Judaism lately there may be a reason for that consistency.

For some time it has bothered me that there are those Zionists who can lay claim to Jews being the chosen people of God and Israel Gods chosen land when there does not seem to be any sane and logical reasoning behind such puffed up pride.

The facts of the matter are that there is hardly anyone at all who resides in Israel who can lay claim to be a Born Again Christian. There is quite clear mention in the book of the Revelation that out of the millions and millions of Jews currently alive here on the plant there is only going to be a paltry 144,000 saved.

Nevertheless, if there is anyone who dares to contradict the arrogance of the Zionists those persons very quickly earn the label of being anti-Semitic.

A lot of the conceit the Zionists attach to themselves could be attributed to Old Testament teachings where God quite heavily favored Israel and the Jews and in doing sent his only begotten son to earth as a Jew. Effectively the Old Testament tells us that the father of the Jews and the Arabs, Abraham, formed a covenant between God and the Jews.

However, what the Jews do not seem to realize is that once they rejected Christ and hung him of the cross that covenant with God was well and truly broken and ended when Israel became a nation in 1948.

Despite what many Christians believe and in turn are trying to mislead others into believing, Judaism is NOT "Christianity without Jesus" and Christianity is not a "completion" of Judaism. The Jewish religion is complete without Christianity and a divine saviour From the Christian theological point of view, Christians have now replaced the Jews as those who will be saved. All references to "restoration of Israel" in the Old testament, in the sense of practical return of the Jews to their homeland and reestablishment of a Jewish commonwealth, and all references to "Israel" and "House of Jacob" and "my people" in prophesy, would now be taken to refer to Christianity. Thus, the prophecy of End of Days of Isaiah would have to refer to Christians, rather than Jews.

The Christian Church has replaced the Jewish nation of Israel that God created in the Old Testament. Proof of that is the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians where he called Christians the “Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16) and Abraham’s seed “28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:28-29) Since the Jews as a nation, rejected Jesus as their Messiah the covenants God made with them in the Old Testament is no longer in effect.

Therefore, the Jews of today have no God-given right to the land of Israel.

Are the Jews in Israel ready to start World War 111?

What an extremely sad indictment on Israel, as it now seems that they are all geared up and ready to attack Iran, in what looks like being a defenceless nation just because they happened to say Israel should be wiped off the face of the map?

Now read the attached report

Israeli TV report shows air force gearing up for Iran attack, says moment of truth is near

‘IAF expects losses, and knows it can’t destroy entire Iranian program’

A major Israel TV station on Sunday night broadcast a detailed report on how Israel will go about attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in the event that diplomacy and sanctions fail and Israel decides to carry out a military strike.

The report, screened on the main evening news of Channel 10, was remarkable both in terms of the access granted to the reporter, who said he had spent weeks with the pilots and other personnel he interviewed, and in the fact that his assessments on a strike were cleared by the military censor.

No order to strike is likely to be given before the P5+1 talks with Iran resume in May, the reporter, Alon Ben-David, said. “But the coming summer will not only be hot but tense.”

In the event that negotiations fail and the order is given for Israel to carry out an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, “dozens if not more planes” will take part in the mission: attack and escort jets, tankers for mid-air refueling, electronic warfare planes and rescue helicopters, the report said.

Ben-David said the Israel Air Force “does not have the capacity to destroy the entire Iranian program.” There will be no replication of the decisive strikes on Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 or on Syria in 2007, he said. “The result won’t be definitive.” But, a pilot quoted in the report said, the IAF will have to ensure that it emerges with the necessary result, with “a short and professional” assault.

Ben-David said that if negotiations break down, and Iran moves key parts of its nuclear program underground to its Qom facility, the IAF “is likely to get the order and to set out on the long journey to Iran.”

“Years of preparations are likely to come to realization,” he said, adding that “the moment of truth is near.”

Ben-David interviewed several squadron leaders, pilots and other officers. He noted that some of the IAF personnel, “it is likely, will not return from the mission.” An officer named Gilad said it would be “naive” to think there would be no losses.

The IAF is said to be worried about the advanced anti-aircraft systems that Russia has sold to countries in the region, the report said. Among those systems, the SA 17 and 22 in Syria and Iran present a challenge.

According to the report, it’s the older versions of the F-15 that can fly further than any other plane in Israel’s arsenal, and this puts them on the front line of any potential attack.
One pilot said in the report that the F-15 “is a plane with a very wide range of operation — a combination of relatively energy-efficient engines, and significant flightworthiness regarding weapons and fuel.”

The IAF has a full-sized unmanned plane, the “Eitan,” that is said to be able to fly to Iran, the report indicated. “This plane can do all that is required of it when the order is given,” a pilot said, without elaboration.

The attack, the report said, would presumably trigger a war in northern Israel, with missile attacks (presumably from the Iranian-proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon). “There will be no tranquility and peace anywhere in Israel,” Ben-David said.

This could be the first full-scale war the IAF has fought in nearly 30 years, the report stated.

Pilots had already been told where their families would be moved, away from their bases, for safety, the report said.

Jewish writers have a natural half sightedness from God because of the past and current iniquities of the nation of Israel - WITH THE JEWS YOU LOSE.

I have noted the attached article on one of the more prominent, well-known, end time's blogspots. After having noted the contents of the article, I decided to make a few comments to the blog owner relative to the assumptions the Jewish writer of the article was making. In fact, there were two comments that I had made there and much to my amazement, both of them were published? That reality in itself is something is quite out of the norm for the owner of this blog. If he does not agree with the comments or replies his readers make, he will simply not publish them at all. He then went on to post his own reply. Since then I have responded with a further reply. For the reasons mentioned above, even though my response has been published in his comments section I would not expect my reply to ever be published? As that is the case, I have therefore decided to reproduce the first two comments that I had made comparative to the attached article, his reply and the comeback that I had made to his reply. There will be no names mentioned and therefore no shame. Accordingly, I will disguise the names of those concerned. What I am not on about here is attempting to bring the ministries of others down to the ground; there are plenty of others who will do just that. All that I am attempting to do here is to clarify a point relative to the ability of Jewish writers to interpret the end times Bible prophecies. Jewish writers will always interpret prophecy from the perspective of being Jewish and from the point of view of favouring the nation of Israel, perhaps unnecessarily most of the time.

 

WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIBLE PROPHECIES, WITH THE JEWS YOU LOSE, JUST AS YOU WILL EVERY TIME.

IRAQ REBUILDING ITS MILITARY AND ECONOMY, EVEN AS THEY REBUILD BABYLON
Prophetic significance?
Joel C. Rberg(Washington, D.C., April 13, 2012) --

Bible prophecy indicates that in the End Times, the nation we know today as the Republic of Iraq -- known variously in Scripture as Babel, Bablyon, Babylonia, Mesopotamia and Shinar -- will emerge as the global centre of wealth, power and terrible evil. Eventually Iraq will pose a direct and existential threat to the State of Israel, particularly during the Tribulation. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003, Iraq has not been a regional threat, much less a danger to Israel. Some have assumed, therefore, that Iraq would no longer play a major role in Middle Eastern or global affairs in the future.

But such a conclusion would be a mistake. As I wrote about in my first non-fiction book, Epicenter, those who read, understand and believe Bible prophecy have been watching for Iraq to:

1) begin rebuilding its offensive military capability;

2) begin rebuilding its economy;

3) continue rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon into a major center of commerce and tourism.

Interestingly, all three developments are currently underway.

A few details (much more on the blog):

* The Iraqis are buying 140 state-of-the-art American M1A1 combat tanks.

* The Iraqis are buying 36 advanced American F-16 fighter jets.

* In 2010, the Iraqis embarked on a $13 billion weapons spending spree.

* Iraq's GDP is set to grow by more than 10% for the next few years.

* Iraq's Planning Ministry says Iraq's economy will grow by upwards of 47% by 2017 when the oil starts flowing fast and furious.

* In 2011, ExxonMobil -- the world's largest oil company -- signed a major deal to help develop the oil industry in Iraq's northern region of Kurdistan.

* The U.S. government is helping finance the rebuilding of the city of Babylon

Today’s Jews did not descend from the ancient Israelites.

There are those of us who believe that, contrary to popular opinion, today’s Jews did not descend from the ancient Israelites. DNA science proves that the “Jews” in Israel and around the world are predominantly of Khazar stock.

They are mainly a Turkish-Mongol blood mixture, says Dr. Schlomo Sand, a Jew, and distinguished history professor from Tel Aviv University in Israel. One amazing fact is that the “Jews” who went to Israel from Europe in 1948 and set up the new nation have no history as a people of Israel. Instead, their ancestors were converts to Judaism.

Therefore, those today that say they are “Jews” who inhabit Israel today did not descend Abraham are correct. Consequently, there is nothing at all to suggest that those who inhabit Israel deserve any special treatment whatsoever.

Furthermore, in the making of the above statement there is not one ounce of racism contained in what I have said.

They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical and thoroughly evil.

The Great Rapture Lie

There is a variant of Biblical theology taught by some well-known preachers known as Midrash! My understanding of that particular terminology is that it teaches whatever has happened in the past relative to the fulfilment of the remainder of the prophecies is sure to happen again.

For example, the instance of Noah and his family saved before the flood. Some exponents of scripture would like to believe that the same analogy is applicable to other scriptures.

In other words, what they are suggesting is that because there are certain events that have taken place in the past, a similar type of event is sure to take place in the future. In the instance of Noah, the argument is that because of the example of Noah and his family receiving a warning from God to build the Ark because of that warning he was rescued before the great flood began.

Therefore, with the assertion being that because Noah was told to build the ark before the flood began Christians will be taken up into Heaven before the Great Tribulation begins.

Those Christians are then calling that event a pre-tribulation Rapture, citing that what has happened in the past is sure to happen again.

The word Rapture immediately conjures up images of millions and millions of Christians suddenly floating up into the air and into Heaven to be with the Lord forever. However, the word Rapture is never ever mentioned anywhere in the scriptures, nor is the notion of Christians floating up into Heaven to be with the Lord forever.

There have actually been three events relative to certain individuals disappearing up into Heaven without having to die first. Jesus himself, Elijah and Enoch! Those are the only instances where it speaks of certain select people disappearing up into Heaven without having to die first in an event that could rightly be called a Rapture.

However, because there have already been those who have disappeared up into the Heavens there is no scriptural evidence, and therefore no guarantee whatsoever, that such an event is ever going to happen again.

However there may be a strong possibility that there are certain portions of the scriptures that have repeated themselves in perhaps more ways that what most of us mere mortals realize.

Nevertheless, there is still nothing that I can see which gives any real indicator that what we have seen in the past has any correlation that ties into future events, particularly with reference to the timing of the Day of the Lord, or the Second Coming. The facts of the matter are that there is no one who really knows the hour or the day for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are not three events, but two, with the second event occurring at the end of the seven years of tribulation. How those who profess to know the word of God see that there are three events is really beyond the pale. There is nothing of the kind is mentioned in the word of God.

The word Rapture immediately conjures up images of millions and millions of Christians suddenly floating up into the air and into Heaven to be with the Lord forever. However, the word Rapture is never ever mentioned anywhere in the scriptures, nor is the notion of Christians floating up into Heaven to be with the Lord forever - without of course having had to die first.

In fact, there was even one man who offered thousands of dollars to anyone who could show him a scripture were the scenario above of millions and millions of people floating up into the air and into Heaven was actually made mention of in the scriptures. However, there was no one who could because it simply is not there to begin with.

I still understand that the word Rapture is a substitute phrase for the Day of the Lord or the Second Coming. However the problem with substituting a word like Rapture into the scriptures when it is not there to begin with is that starts to create confusion. What we are then left with are all of the wild and totally erroneous theories that begin to emerge relative to the timing of the alleged Rapture.

Barry Smith was a wake up to this reality. Instead of the word Rapture, he preferred to say the Taking up of the Church.

There may be some, who are reading this and are saying that the Taking up of the Church and the Rapture are one in the same event.

Nevertheless, the reality of the matter is quite different for the reasons mentioned above.

The Taking up of the Church raises undertones of meeting the Lord in the air, just as the scripture said would be the case. On the other hand, the word Rapture raises associations of Christians suddenly being floated off the face of the earth and up into Heaven.

Notwithstanding that fact, there is nothing at all in the word of God that says there is ever going to be a Rapture in the most common sense of the understanding of the word described above.

Accordingly, instead of the word Rapture, I would prefer to use the terminology of the Taking up of the Church but having used that terminology I am still not referring to a Rapture.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONLIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical and thoroughly evil.

Preparing Israel for War

by NEVE GORDON
Recent raids on Gaza were not just about allocating more money to defense – they were also about war with Iran.

In response to the recent assassination of Zuhair al-Qaisi, the Secretary General of the Popular Resistance Committees in the Gaza Strip, along with another fighter, Palestinians fired rockets at southern Israel and the Israeli military launched air strikes at targets throughout the Strip.

Within hours, the media fanfare began. Israeli news outlets began glorifying the interception missiles by repeatedly showing images of an Iron Dome battery, often with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak standing in front of the defense system. Reporters continuously emphasized the Iron Dome’s high rate of success in intercepting the short-range rockets launched from Gaza towards Israel. One columnist characterized it as a “system that provides the goods, authentic Israeli brilliance, true pride”, while another columnist stated that this “weekend Israel took its hat off [to salute] Iron Dome”.

Initially, the government and security establishment claimed that “al-Qaisi was assassinated in order to prevent an attack that was in the final stages of preparation”. Two days after Israel carried out the extra-judicial execution, however, the claim that al-Qaisi presented an imminent danger dissipated.

On March 11, Ofer Shelah reported that “even from the statements made yesterday by the Minister of Defense one got the sense that the assassination was not about direct prevention: Barak clearly stated that it is not totally clear what was being planned, from where, and whether the attack had been foiled. From this, it can be assumed that the attack was more about deterrence”.

 

‘Planned escalation’

As the days passed, several commentators revealed that the assassination had been planned well in advance and that the military had made the necessary preparations, including deployment of the Iron Dome batteries. “A Planned Escalation,” read the title of one article in Yedioth Ahronoth and in the text, the analyst explained that the “IDF had prepared an ambush” for al-Qaisi. Yoav Limor, an “expert on military affairs”, wrote that in essence “al-Qaisi was alive-dead for over a week, and his assassination was delayed until the prime minister completed his diplomatic campaign in Washington, and until after the Purim Holiday and the weather cleared up”. Most analysts intimated that Israel knew that the assassination would lead to an escalation. And this, it almost seems, is what it wanted.

 

The question, of course, is why?

There are those who totally misunderstood Israel’s goals. Ma’ariv’s top political analyst Ben Kaspit called for an extensive attack against the Strip, portraying the residents of southern Israel as hostages of a “terrorist gang that has infested Gaza… [and] that can spray the whole south with rockets”. In his view Barak had stopped the IDF at the beginning of Operation Cast Lead ostensibly for humanitarian reasons, but fortunately the operation turned out to be successful not least because in its midst “the leaders of Hamas cut their beards and went down to the tunnels”. Kaspit concludes that it is now time to “complete the job”. “We need to understand,” he tells his readers, “that no one will clean Gaza for us… and terror, unfortunately, understands only one language.”

Judy Nir Moses Shalom, the wife of the Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom, is not the most sophisticated thinker either. “I hope,” she wrote on her Facebook page, “that during the cabinet meeting a decision will be reached to enter Gaza and to liquidate all those responsible for the nightmare which the south is undergoing. Enough silence. The time has come to make Gaza’s passive residents suffer like [Israel's southern] residents.” As if this kind of beastly reaction was not enough, she also tweeted to her followers: “Have a good week. I hope that today it will be decided to demolish Gaza if the shooting does not stop. So that they will suffer too.”

Most analysts wittingly or unwittingly intimated, however, that there were other reasons for initiating the current cycle of violence, and justifying a major offensive on Gaza was not one of them.

Message for Iran

The majority of reporters and columnists served as the mouthpiece for the security establishment, calling on the government to allocate more funds to buy additional Iron Domes. Or Heller from Channel Ten is a good example. He asked his audience to “imagine how this cycle would have looked without the success of three Iron Dome batteries… imagine the tanks that would have had to enter Gaza’s mud… a fourth battery is on its way. What about a fifth battery? God is great and the budget is small. It is clear to everyone today that we need more and more Iron Domes.” Ofer Shelah from NRG put it succinctly: “The prime minister must decide unequivocally… that Iron Dome, like other defense mechanisms, is beyond the realm of the budget debate.” Another more reflective reporter pointed out that the Grad rockets “flying from the Strip serve as the best lobbyist for the defense budget”.

The recent attack is, however, not only about allocating more money to the military; it is also about Iran. The media continuously drew a connection between the Islamic jihad, which launched most of the rockets against Israel, and Iran. The IDF spokesperson pointed an accusing finger towards Teheran, claiming that it is transferring weapons and money to the Islamic Jihad. A couple of days later a headline in Yisrael Hayom declared, “Iran is Behind the Jihad’s Rocket Attack”. Hence, another objective was to show the Israeli public that Iran, by means of a proxy, had already begun attacking Israel.

Next, a link was drawn between Iron Dome’s success and the perceived Iranian threat. Ynet cited a military general who stated that the escalation is about Gaza today, “but I am not sure that this is the scenario for which I am preparing the fighters. There are threats from the north and threats from further away”. A columnist noted that Iron Dome’s effectiveness “helped demonstrate to everyone that the Israeli home front enjoys a relatively good defense today… Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran will have to reconsider their strategy of missile terrorism…”

Indeed, many analysts emphasized that only a handful of Israelis had been injured, but none fatally. The fighting, they accordingly claimed, produced relatively little pressure on the home front. Alon Ben David from Channel Ten summed up this perspective when he wrote: “There is no doubt that Iron Dome alongside the population’s exemplary behavior prevented casualties on the Israeli side and enabled Israel to come out of this cycle – I would say – with a sense of satisfaction. Twenty-two [combatants] were killed on the other side, and another three or four civilians; we have zero losses… under these conditions we can conduct a monitored [fray] that we initiate…”

Zvi Barel from Haaretz was one of the lone critical voices, providing readers some insight into Israel’s real objectives. He exposed the logic behind the Iron Dome’s glorification, claiming that it helps Netanyahu “sell” the planned attack against Iran: “After Iron Dome demonstrated its 95 per cent effectiveness, there is no better proof to Israeli citizens that they will not suffer serious damage following an assault against Iran. Escalation in Gaza is good for Israel, meaning for those who support attacking Iran”.

In a slightly different context and using Netanyahu’s duck allegory, Haaretz’s editor-in-chief Aluf Benn wrote, “what looks like a preparation for war, acts like a preparation for war, and quacks like a preparation for war, is a preparation for war, and not just a ‘bluff’ or a diversion tactic”.

After his re-election, Putin now retakes Russia as it supreme Czar or Caesar.

The title Tsar is derived from the Latin word for emperor, Caesar. In comparison to the corresponding Latin word "imperator", the Byzantine Greek term basileus was used differently depending on whether it was in a contemporary political context and in a historical or Biblical context. In the history of the Greek language, the word had originally meant something like "potentate", it had gradually approached the meaning of "king" in the Hellenistic Period, and it came to designate "emperor" after the inception in the Roman Empire. As a consequence, Byzantine sources continued to call the Biblical and ancient kings "basileus", even when that word had come to mean "emperor" when referring to contemporary monarchs (while it was never applied to Western European kings, whose title was transliterated from Latin "rex" as ῥήξ, or to other monarchs, for whom designations such as ἄρχων "leader", "chieftain" were used.)

These are not going to be honest elections we must relent, "said Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader, as he voted in Moscow. “Honest elections should be our constant motto for years to come.” This statement coming out of the mouth of the man who lead Russia into a New World Order during the time of former U.S. president Ronald Regan. What we are witnessing here with a statement such as that is hypocrisy in its highest form.

Because of his fraudulent re-election, what the world is looking at in the form of Putin is the supreme Czar of Russia, another puppet of the Global elitists as they go about setting up their insidious New World Order.

The only serious contenders in the race for the presidency were actually far worse than what he is, if that could ever be possible at all. In second place was Gennady Zyuganov, the head of the Communist Party, who received 17% of the vote. In third place was Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the anti-Semitic, fascist, ultranationalist, who received 7% of the vote. Accordingly, as these were not the type of men who would tow the party line and do as they were told it is quite easy to see why the Illuminati would have put Putin back into place.

In addition, some have been suggesting for a number of years that there is a very strong possibility that Putin could be the Antichrist. There is still one thing that we need to look at with that being the man in question, and what he is going to do from now on and what he has done in the past. That is going to be the only litmus test to determine if indeed Putin is the Antichrist. Alternatively, is this is just more fanciful thinking by those who have been brainwashed into thinking that he may be. As with everything concerned with the Bible Prophecies, no one really knows just how they are going to pan out until they actually eventuate.

Australians are now subjective to the Brave New World of a Totalitarian World Government

Here is a slight whiff of paranoia; it may be a good idea to reconsider which search engine you favour? Google is not going to be able to monitor which websites the Internet user visits, but is also going to keep a record of the sites visited to be able to retrieve that information later on.

Not only that, when the same result could have been achieved with Wireless Broadband, the Australian government is in the process of spending a massive 50 billion dollars for a National Broadband Network supposedly to achieve higher Internet download speeds? A small box will be fitted to the side of the house of those with the NBN (and that includes everyone who has the Internet) so that the websites can not only be monitored, but can also be blocked without the permission of the Internet user. That fact in itself equates to total control of the Internet, which means that Australia is going to be the first country, apart from China, that is going to be subjective to this type power over the Internet user.

All of this is going on even before we mention smart meters. Once a smart meter is fitted to the side of the house the electricity supply to a house is going to be subjective to the on and off control of a central operator.

There is also a new and insidious Carbon Tax now being forced upon the consumer, which in itself is going to skyrocket electricity prices through the roof and deliberately destroy whatever manufacturing we have left in this country. So welcome to the New World Order.

Even though all of the above equates to nothing more than doom and gloom there is more bad news yet to follow. We now also have the infrastructure and technology in place for the Mark of the Beast. Accordingly, the mark is now being introduced through Mobile Phones with the camera facility on the rear of the phones being able to scan the microchip implant for the transference of payment for goods and services, and yet there are still some who are suggesting the end times is but yet hundreds of years into the future?

If ever there was a time right throughout the course of history when we needed the Lord to return it is right now more than any other time? God bless all.

Herman Van Rompuy - is "the Grey Mouse" about to become "a Mighty Lion?"

Part 1
Quote: Former Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy will be re-appointed European Union President this week and be given the task of chairing regular eurozone summits, diplomats in Brussels said yesterday. The decisions are to be announced on the first of a two-day summit tomorrow, EU sources said. Van Rompuy’s two-and-a-half year mandate expires at the end of May. His role, which was created by the Lisbon Treaty – the EU’s new rulebook – is to chair and prepare leaders’ meetings and represent the bloc in meetings with other nations. Over the past two years, as Europe was plunged into its debt crisis, he has also informally chaired eurozone-only summit meetings. The fiscal compact, a budget discipline treaty approved in January and due to be signed at this week’s EU summit, has institutionalized that role by creating the position of ‘President of the Euro Summit’. End of quote: There were a few points that the late and great Barry Smith had said during the course of his lifetime's ministry that have hold particular relevance to the information presented above. One of those points was that the Antichrist would be appointed as the head of the Common Market, or the EU as it is known as on this day, as its president,. Of course, that has happened because the EU effectively now does have a president in the form of Herman Van Rompuy. Although it seems in the eyes of some Van Rompuy is not what they thought he was going to be. The likes of Nigel Farage has described him as having all the appearance of a damp rag and the charisma of a bank clerk, not that there is anything at all wrong with bank clerks. Barry Smith had also said that once Antichrist made his appearance good and decent people would put their complete trust in him and hand everything over to him, including their very souls. That also has just happened because of the bailout packages the EU has been subjective to of late.

Part 2
Remember also that we are told the Antichrist achieves his kingdom by flattery (or sweet-talk) and intrigue, meaning that the Antichrist is a trickster and a master of deception. If there is anyone out there who can decipher some of the statements that Van Rompuy comes out with then you are better than what I am. Both of those descriptions, describe Van Rompuy to a tee, and as that is the instance of the matter, events are falling right into place for the fulfilment of the remainder of the Bible prophecies. That is true particularly in the light of recent developments where Van Rompuys current tenure as EU president has extended for a further two and a half year term. Consequently, what we have now seen as a direct result of that extension is the promotion of Van Rompuy from the president of the Council of Ministers to the President of the Euro Summits. (See the aforementioned) Accordingly, it now looks like there will be more and more power given over to him as he moves further and further down to track to take over the running of the EU, lock stock and barrel. It now seems likely that his authority is going to reach such a degree of power that he will be announced as the president of the EU very shortly. What that means is that he will act with all the authority of the president of the United States without there ever actually having been a time when he had been subjective to the whims and fancies of the voters within the EU. There is a distinct difference though, while the president of the United States is nothing more than a figurehead who simply reads out prepared speeches, Van Rompuy will hold ultimate control over every individual within the sphere of the EU from the cradle to the grave as its unrivalled dictator. Just as the word of God has described what the circumstances would be like in these last days. Alternatively, is what I have said above really nothing much more than pure conjecture with the likelihood of anything mentioned above ever happening within the interim future as extremely remote as ever. With everything else mentioned here all that we are able to do it just wait and see how all of this eventually pans out in the end. God bless all.

The EU is set to achieve full monetary and political union designed to produce the Antichrist.

Part 1
Most of us who have been making a study of Bible prophecies over a number of years, know that ultimately the EU is going to achieve a full monetary and political union that is going to produce the Antichrist. Now, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has told the Chinese public that the EU will become a fully-fledged “political union” after the current financial crisis has been completely resolved. He then went on to state that because of the current financial restraints within the EU the resolution to those problems was going to further integrate and complete the monetary union with a fiscal union and then as a result of those moves, a complete political union. That main objective is only a matter of time, but in spite of the EU, being the most diverse continent on the earth a political union will, and must be, achieved. EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy highlighted a clause in the joint summit communique which says the EU is willing to “swiftly” give China market economy status—a move that would help it sell more cheap goods to Europe. “It’s the first time we put this kind of agreement with this kind of language after an EU-China summit,” he said. -Euobserver.com, 14 February 2012: Europe is China’s largest customer. The EU represents the world’s biggest exporter and importer. According to Bible prophecy, Europe will continue to be the centre of the world. It is defined Biblically with these words, “Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces” (Daniel 7:23).

Part 2
I have noticed the use of the word "diverse." What does this diverseness consist of? Historically, a kingdom or any government operated independently for the well-being of its citizens; usually one ruler, one tax code, one language, with one goal for only its own people: peace, prosperity, and security. The European Union is different with that difference expressed within the general confines of their motto “United in Diversity.” The success of the EU is overwhelming, when one considers the fact that only 70 years ago; World War II devastated the continent. While economically as well as financially, the EU has been extremely successful, one thing is lacking a “political union.” However, it is only a matter of time before that complete Union is achieved and the EU becomes a complete government with one leader, who holds the ultimate reins of power, the Antichrist. Notwithstanding that fact, there are those who have been attempting to identify the Antichrist for a number of years, but most have failed in this quest. That is not to say that the quest for this knowledge does remain somewhat opaque, as it surely does? Just as soon as an individual thinks they have it all together in identifying the Antichrist there is someone else who comes onto the world scene who shatters those plans all together. However, there is really no one who is on the horizon that gives us a better example of someone the Antichrist maybe other than its first ever-elected full time president, Herman Van Rompuy. A virtual unknown before he came to prominence on the world scene after being appointed as the first ever full time president of the European Union Council of Ministers, a role that virtually holds power other than being able to address council meetings and EU summits. Van Rompuy is one to keep an eye on because as his current tenure as the president of the EU Council of Ministers has just been extended there is a very strong possibility he may line up as the president of the EU by being given more and more powers thereby equipping him to be the Antichrist. Needless to say, if the name of Van Rompuy were mentioned to the average person in the UK most would never ever have heard of him, let alone consider him the Antichrist. This seems to be just another one of the many and crafty plans of his master, Satan, start of slow and then work up to full momentum. God bless
