IMPORTANT! Palestinian Christian Speaks Out on Wave of Terror - Israel Today | Israel News

Islam Endorses Murder and Hate, But Claims Abraham!

As we all know, and can clealy see, Islam and the Muslims "extremists" (thought in Muslim eyes, the faithful), the Quran teaches hatred of the Jews, and the end goal of Islam is annihilation of the Jewish people, to bring about global Sharia law on every person.  Not only does it endorse the teaching of hatred, instead of love, which Ye'shua taught, and is taught in the Torah, but Islam endorses violence, murder and death, so much so, that the only guarantee of entering eternal life in heaven, is by dying in battle with the infidels (unbelievers of Islam).

But in the Gospels, Ye'shua has a different message.  He spoke to murderers who claimed to have Abraham as their father, as do Muslims.  But he told them who their father really is.  We read in John (Injil) 8:

39 They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said to them, “If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham! 40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do. 41 You are doing the deeds of your father!”

They saidq to him, “We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me. 43 ⌊Why⌋r do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature,* because he is a liar and the father ⌊of lies⌋.s 45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me. (biblia.com)

Israel Strikes Twice Near Syrian-Lebanese Border...

Joel Rosenberg reports on his blog: flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com

Israel strikes twice near Syrian-Lebanese border, reports Arab & Israeli news sources.

In Uncategorized on February 24, 2014 at 9:32 pm

“The official Lebanese news agency reported that Israeli fighter jets have carried two attacks on Monday in the vicinity of the Syrian-Lebanese border,” reports Ynet News. “The objective of the attack was the destruction of Hezbollah facilities near the border in Lebanon, according to Al Arabiya, whose journalist reported that loud explosions were heard across the Beqaa Valley.”

“Meanwhile, the Lebanese news website Al-Nashra reported that Israeli fighter jets struck twice in the area of the Syrian-Lebanese border,” the article noted. “Al-Nashra did not specify a target for the alleged incursion. It was reported earlier Monday on Lebanese media that Israeli Air Force jets were hovering over Baalbek in the Lebanon Valley. Since the beginning of the three-year-old Syrian civil war, the Israeli Air Force has allegedly targeted weapons convoys, arms depots, and missile installation in Syria and Lebanon.”

It cited concerns about terrorist acts timed to coincide with the forthcoming Rosh Hashana (New Year), Yom Kippur and Succot festivals, and also said that the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US was likely to be “a favored period” for al-Qaeda and other global jihadist groups to attempt to carry out acts of terrorism.

The entire middle east, including much of northern Africa, is dangerous right now for the Jews to travel in.  We are much closer to the nations being ready to accomplish the long foretold and awaited war to end all World Wars, Armageddon, where all the nations of the world join up on behalf of the world leader to battle Jesus Christ Himself, the Savior of the Jews.

Rifqa to the rescue (OneNewsNow.com)

Ever wnder what hapened to the Muslim girl from Ohio who was fleeing her parents in fear of an "honor killing," which is happening more and more in America, as Islam grows and gains legitimacy. Honor killing is sanctioned in the religion of Islam through Sharia. Rifqa Bary survived and turned 18 last August. But now the attorney who defended her case pro-bono is being sued by the Muslim attorney in Ohio who defended her parents.

As previously reported by OneNewsNow, Islamic attorney Omar Tarazi of Ohio has filed a $10-million defamation of character lawsuit against Orlando attorney John Stemberger, as well as a grievance against him before The Florida Bar....

Now Stemberger says Bary has come to his aid by releasing her first public statement since she turned 18 years old last August."

She basically is outlining all the bad things that he did during the course of the case, which have not come out publically," Stemberger accounts. "So it's kind of inside pool on what actually took place. [She is] also thanking me publically for my contribution, pro-bono representation, as well as the other lawyers involved."Bary's affidavit also refutes several of the allegations Tarazi brought against the Orlando attorney in the bar complaint.

Isaiah's Pronouncment on Egypt

About five days or so ago now, I began to review some in the book of Isaiah on the passages that speak to the end of days prophecies.  Chapters 14-19 have a series of condemnations against the countries in the Middle-East surrounding and including Israel.  Many are famfiliar with hearing of the prophecy in Isaiah 17:1, which foretells the destruction of Damascus, which many feel will be fulfilled in the next major Israeli war, especially since Damascus is headquarters for a number of terrorist organizations.

But chapter 19 is particularly interesting, especially concerning recent events.  It appears as if Chapter 19 is speaking directly to Egypts current crisis.  The chapter speaks of the LORD (Yahweh) coming to Egypt, and turning brother against brother, Egyptian angainst Egyptian (Is. 19:2) and this is what we see plastered on our TV screens! 

2"So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians;



And they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor,


City against city and kingdom against kingdom.


3"Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;


And I will confound their strategy,


So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead


And to mediums and spiritists.

According to scripture, though it go against the teachings of Islam, the people will begin turning to supernatural forces for help and guidadnce in this terrible time of turmoil.  The second half of chapter nineteen speaks of the LORD's healing of Egypt, when they turn back to Him, and worship the LORD God of Israel, along with Assyria (Syria) and Israel, and it is said they become a blessing in the land  (Is. 19:23-24).

Right now, in the news, a big concern is who is going to take over the government that Hosni Mubarak has ran for 30 years?  We know that he has just now appointed his first vice-president, and promised to appoint a new parliament, which are mostly his people anyway.  Isaiah also speaks to this, as to who will come to power.

4"Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master,


And a mighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord GOD of hosts.

Now it could be argued that this mighty king and cruel master are already in power and have been for 30 years.  The Holman Chrisitan translation renders the hebrew as "harsh masters."  This could refer to the parliment that Mubarak has appointed, all the people over Egypt for the past thirty years who have run it into the ground.  But I think it makes more sense to view it as speaking sequentially here, and referring to the leader that will arise out of this situation.

America essentially appointed Mubarak, and since we give them 2 billion in aid annually, Mubarak has remained a key ally of the U.S.  If an extremist (i.e. orthodox) Muslim regime gains control, we can count this as the end of our democratic ally in Egypt, and an escalation to a Mid-East war, likely forcing Israel's hand to move more quickly in the Middle-East.
As to conditions that are going to affect the country, Isaiah goes on to predict the drying up of the Nile, and as a consequence, the end of all employment provided by the Nile and its products.  It will be interesting to watch developments in and around Egypt.  Southern Sudan recently gained the votes they needed to break off from Muslim controlled Northern Sudan, to gain their own independence.  This leaves the Northern part of Sudan without natural resources, while the Southern part has control of water and minerals.  I know that there has been contestation on how to use the waters of the Nile river.  It occurred to me that once Southern Sudan has gained independence from the North, that damming up their water sources, could effectively drain the Nile river, causing its canals to dry up and leave a stench from the ancient river bed and the death of all the animal life, as well as the death of inhabitants who live along the river and depend on its fullness to live.

5The waters from the sea will dry up,


And the river will be parched and dry.


6The canals will emit a stench,


The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;


The reeds and rushes will rot away.


7The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile


And all the sown fields by the Nile


Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.


8And the fishermen will lament,


And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn,


And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.


9Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax


And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.


10And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed;


All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.



11The princes of Zoan are mere fools;


The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid


How can you men say to Pharaoh,


"I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

You can hear this refrain among the people of Egypt, asking the same question.  But for the LORD, it serves a different purpose, to point to His sovereign rule over the affairs of men.

12Well then, where are your wise men?


Please let them tell you,


And let them understand what the LORD of hosts


Has purposed against Egypt.


13The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly,


The princes of Memphis are deluded;


Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes


Have led Egypt astray.


14The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion;


They have led Egypt astray in all that it does,


As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.


15There will be no work for Egypt


Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do
 
The final half of the chapter (Is. 19:16-24) speaks of the LORD's healing of the nation of Egypt, after they have gone through this national crisis and seen once again that their gods and spirits that they pray too can not help them (Ex. 5-11). 
 
Not only are national forecasters speaking of the rising oil prices, which will effect essentially everything we do, but this can lead much qucker to the collapse of the Egyptian economy, as well as througout the Middle-East, and around the globe.  As Mubarak has not stepped down, and the people are not satisfied, I think that things will continue to get much worse until a government is set up and control is seized, and so the prophecy of Isaiah will be fulfilled. 
 
This event is very siginificant, and will most likely drastically change the way we live our lives in America, as well as lead to the collapse of the "global-economy," resulting in people crying out for a stable monetary one-world currency.  Could this be the event that finally pushes us to that point?

Commentary on the Middle East: Ready for War?

For anyone who has followed the news lately, it is apparent that the Middle East is a very volatile region.  Beyond just the Israeli-Iranian conflict, and the Palestinians, add to the mix that the citizens of these Muslim countries are incensed with their leaders, who drive their county's economies into the ground. 

Tunisia has thrown out her leader, with all the young people frustrated at the lack of jobs, and taking to the streets in protest.  Citizens of other countries identify with teh Tunisian youth, and are expressing solidarity with them, making it likely the same thing can happen in their countries, as unemployment runs high. 

The government of Lebanon has collapsed, and now an anti-western Hizbullah party wants to take control, which is pro-Iranian and backed by Syria (an extension of Iran), which also means very anti-Israel.  And as missile fortifications continue to grow in Gaza and Lebanon, being armed by Iran, Russia, etc... it seems that a mid-east war could be set off at the slightest conflagration. 

And what does that mean for us?  God's plan for Israel is mapped out in the Bible, by the prophets and apostles.  Some theologians think that Ps. 83 speaks of a war in which Israel is engaged in battle with all her neighboring countries, which, oddly enough, today are all Muslim!  The belief is that this will lead to Israel's victory, according to the Psalm, resulting in expansion of her borders, and uncontested dwellings for her rapidly increasing citizens, as Jews conitnue to pour in from around the world, which is also a fulfillment of Ezekiel 36 & 37. 

If theologians are correct, this will set the stage for the battle delineated in Ezekiel 38, famously known as the "Battle of Magog."  This battle will be championed by Rosh (it's a Roshian!), chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Ezek. 38:3).  Many and most have historically identified this country as Russia, coming out of the far north (Ezek. 38:15), coming against Israel, a "land restored from war (Ezek. 38:8, 11-12)."  Other countries named with Russia are Persia, which is modern-day Iran, Ethiopia, Libya and Turkey are named as all being allies in this affront against the tiny nation of Israel (Ezek. 38:5-6). 

Why can't the Palestinians get some of the empty land in Syria, or in Jordan?  Come on, why pick a fight with a small people over a tiny slice of land?  Is it simply because Islam, a "religion of peace," mandates it?  By the way, George W. was paid an enormous sum of money by the Saudis to say that. 

Back to what it means to us, if war breaks out in the Middle-East, and it fits the bill for Ps. 83, this will mean indeed that the final stage is being set for God to sanctify his name through the destruction of Russia and her troops, and all that come against Israel.  Or, it could be, that this is one and the same battle as Ezekiel 38 predicts. 

It will be around this time, I believe, the Church, (the true Church) is taken to heaven, and the antichrist is revealed and emerges on the world stage with a 7 year plan for peace (2 Thess. 2:7-8).

Israel IS THE TIME-PIECE.  Watch her.  We see from the natural disasters the LORD inflicts on the earth that she is still the apple of His eye.  God promised that land to Abraham and his descendents through the line of Isaac and Jacob, who was called Israel.  If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, there is still a little time.  Don't wait.  No one is promised tomorrow.  God holds your life, and he can take it when He pleases. 

You need to repent of your sins (turn from them) and confess your sinfulness to God, for all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.  The results of our sins is eternal seperation from the prescence of God in the pit of eteranl hell, what the Bible calls death (Rom. 6:23), but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, for all who confess and live for Him in truth and love (Rom 10:9-10; 1 Jn. 4:7-8).  Then read your Bible (http://www.biblegateway.com/), pray and find a Bible-believing church, where you can worship and serve!

How much anti-Semitism is too much?

It seems that in more recent years after the formation of the United Nations, it has become a forum for bashing and condemning Israel.

According to Anne Bayefsky, In 2010, 80% of all UN General Assembly resolutions criticizing specific countries for human rights violations were directed at Israel. Only six of the remaining 191 UN member states faced human rights criticism at all, one of which was the U.S. Half of the country-specific condemnatory resolutions and decisions ever adopted by the UN Human Rights Council target Israel.

Has common sense and rational escaped the worldview of the world's leaders, or is something bigger going on, a plan to wipe out Israel?

Somali Girl, 17, Shot to Death for Embracing Christ

"They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 3 "These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.  John 16:2-3 2

It seems another young person, this time a 17 year old Somali girl, has been tortured, and then put to death in an "honor killing" by her parents for leaving Islam and embracing Christ.  Christian post reports that:

“Reports reached the relatives in Galgadud that Nurta Farah had converted to Christianity,” one source said. “The suspicion that the family is responsible is a solid one. The sister was killed in Abudwaq, a district in Galgadud Region, and the place where the incident took place is about 200 meters from where the sister was staying with relatives.”


Relatives buried Farah, sources said. Her parents had severely beaten her for leaving Islam and regularly shackled her to a tree at their home, Christian sources said. She had been confined to her home in Gedo region in southern Somalia since May 10, when her family found out that she had embraced Christianity, said a Christian leader who visited the area.

http://www.christianpost.com/article/20101204/somali-teenage-girl-shot-to-death-for-embracing-christ/

Another example of this "religion of peace."  But fortunately for Nurta, she found true peace, the only lasting, eternal peace.  And when she stand before her God, she will have the honor of her Lord Jesus Christ, who died for her, shed His own blood as a propitiation, for her sins. 

"And God made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in HIm."  2 Cor. 5:21

Time Is Running Out

As I’ve stated on the top of this site, this blog is about looking forward to the return of the rightful ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ. He told us in Matthew 24 of some of the signs that we could look for in identifying the season for His return and the establishment of His literal reign on earth.


I haven’t blogged as much as some may have hoped, not as much as I had expected, but I got caught up in life and my family with a wonderful wife and two precious boys. I don’t want to sacrifice that, as I know that my family is my primary ministry, to my wife and my sons, raising them to be godly young men.



But as I’ve noted before, Israel is God’s Timeclock. And time is drawing to a close for the Obama Administration to facilitate a peace treaty between Israel and the PA (Muslims). Israel has bent over backward to give concessions in order to show goodwill towards peace. Abbas has done little to make goodwill gestures to the Jewish people.



Danny Ayalon in the guardian.co.uk notes:

Palestinians have quietly been allowed to regress from the conventional positions, many of which they formerly accepted, that are essential for any peace process. For example, the murder of four Israelis by Palestinian terrorists on 31 August, on the eve of negotiations, did not induce Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, to withdraw from peace talks. Yet the construction of a few apartments in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, has been viewed by many as a justifiable excuse for the Palestinians to walk out.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/oct/15/palestian-rejectionism-obstacle-to-peace; accessed 10/22/10.



Evidently, even the lady who shattered the glass ceiling is giving up on the idea of negotiating peace between Israel and the Muslim parties in control.

"As much as the United States and other nations around the world want to see a resolution to this conflict, only the parties themselves can take the difficult steps that will lead to peace. That is why the Obama administration is working so hard to support direct talks that offer a forum for both sides to grapple with the core issues in good faith. There is no substitute for face-to-face discussion and, ultimately, for an agreement that leads to a just and lasting peace. That is the only path that will lead to the fulfillment of the Palestinian national aspirations and the necessary outcome of two states for two peoples."

http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2010/10/149766.htm



What’s interesting about this is that this is setting the conditions that will be met as spelled out in the Bible, that the small ‘horn’ or ruler that arises out of the global government will make a strong (Hb. Gabar) covenant for seven years (Dan. 9:27, 11:28, 30, 32), a peace treaty in the Middle East, which no one has been able to establish. For this the world will follow this leader.



With the human governments of this world concluding that they have done all there is to do, and seeing the pressure intensify between the Jews and all the Muslim countries which surround them, the time is soon approaching.



Daniel 7:25 25 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.
