Israel Declared an Obstacle by Terrorists

Wow.....this guy looks like the voice of reason------------>

How many times have we heard this before?

'Israel is Obstacle to Peace'

By JPOST.COM STAFF



Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Friday called Israel “the obstacle” to peace in the Middle East and urged the US to “deal with this reality and not put pressure on the Palestinian or the Arab side.” In an interview with PBS, Mashaal said his organization had no problem with the US, calling it “a great state.” But, he said, “its interest should not be at the expense of the interests of others and the peoples of the region.”
"If America wants democracy and human rights, it has to give the same rights to the people in the region,” he said. It's support of Israel “complicates matters,” he added.Mashaal spoke out against the isolation of Hamas, saying the US "should have direct dialogue with Hamas without mediators … Why does [US Mideast envoy George Mitchell] believe that he will succeed in the Palestinian issue without dialogue with Hamas?" Mashaal said that just as the Obama Adminstration had accepted the results of Israel's election despite the rise of “extremists” to power, it should accept Hamas's victory in the 2006 Palestinian election. Failing to do so showed a double standard, he said.The Hamas leader said he did not support violence against civilians and said attacks on Israel would stop once it withdrew to the 1967 borders.

In other news......President Obama, after having joined the UN Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty Panel, has objected to wording in the treaty that everyone knew would be there. The NTP was decidedly anti-Semitic from the moment it was conceived. Until Barrack Obama assumed the Presidency, the United States had been categorically opposed the nature of the the panel. Now, that the commission, made up of predominantly third world & Middle Eastern countries, has singled out Israel as the main culprit in blocking a nuclear-free Middle East, the Obama administration realizes it has put itself in jeopardy with a large block of American Jews who support Israel's right to defend itself. My question is why our President was so foolish in joining this bogus commission in the first place.

Headlines Align With Prophecy

Headlines of Note
May 28, 2010

Iran gives Syria the go ahead for direct talks with Israel.......Syrian President Bashir Assad told a US television reporter that Iran had approved directs talks between Damascus and Israel, the only stipulation for peace being that Israel turn the Golan Heights over to Syria. How does that play into the Psalm 83 scenario? If Israel were to give up the Golan Heights, it would only be temporary. According to the Bible, Israel will soon become "Greater Israel" after having been forced to destroy Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Debkafile is reporting that a Iranian patrol boats have detected the presence of a fast-attack US submarine in the Straits of Hormuz. This adds to the speculation that the Obama Administration is attempting to increase pressure on Tehran in order to coerce them to the negotiating table over their nuclear weapons program. The USS Aircraft Carrier, Harry S. Truman, and carrier group 10, departed from its base in Virginia on May 21 to join the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Arabian Sea. Two carrier groups off the coast of Iran would certainly be a formidable show of military strength, but the question remains whether or not Barrack Obama has the stomach for starting another war....especially with the prospects of confrontation growing along the border between North and South Korea.

According to the Jerusalem Post, satellite photos demonstrate that not only does the Hezbollah have over 1000 scud missile positioned and ready to attack Israel, Hezbollah has been provided a scud base in the city of Andra, just outside of Damascus. This is the first indication that bases for both training and Hezbollah operations have been established within Syria itself. Upon discovery that the Syrians were providing highly sophisticated, North Korean-made scuds to the Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israelis stated very clearly that if Israel were to come under attack, Damascus would be destroyed....How does this fit with the Psalm 83, Isaiah 17 prophecies? I'd say the prophets must have had a birds eye view of what is about to happen. At some point, some crazy Hezbollah-jihadist is going to launch a scud or two and Damascus will "be no more."

It is an amazing thing to see the headlines come into alignment with the Word of God. What does that suggest for you and me? We need to be people of the Word like never before in our lives. Also, get as close as you can to the author...who is also called "The Word!"

Evidence of the Curse?

Headline says time is running out.
Number of Attempted Attacks Within U.S. Rising
WASHINGTON (Reuters)

The number of attempted domestic attacks against the United States over the past nine months has surpassed the number of attempts during any other previous one-year period, CNN reported, citing an unclassified Department of Homeland Security memo.
The memo prepared for law enforcement groups expects operatives in the country to strike at easily accessible targets. It specifically mentioned the Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad and Najibullah Zazi, who pleaded guilty in February to plotting attacks on New York's subways, CNN said.
Suspected Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad is shown in this undated U.S. Department of Justice photograph released to Reuters on May 19, 2010. The memo was dated May 21, CNN said in a story that ran on its website late Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security also expressed concern about the pace of attempted attacks, saying they were happening inside the United States with "increased frequency."
It noted a trend in groups such as al Qaeda to use Westerners as operatives and leaders.

Are we seeing the effects of the curse issued by God against nations that stand against the Abrahamic Covenant? Speaking of Abraham and his inheritance, Israel, God said he would "bless all who bless you, and curse all who curse you." The evidence might be mounting up that such is the case for America.

Since the moment Barrack Obama entered the Oval Office, Israel has been on his hit list. It began with his stunning remarks made to the Egyptian congress in June of 2009...in which he quoted a portion of a Koranic verse that sounded great....but actually demands that true Muslims have no option but to wage jihad against the Jews. The turn against Israel continued in September of 2009 as Obama stood in the pulpit of the United Nations and demanded that Israel pull back to the 1967 borders, give up Jerusalem, and acquiesce to a contiguous Palestinian state. Thrown in were calls for Israel to disclose its nuclear capability, and recently, those calls moved to a demand that Israel dispose of whatever nuclear weapons it possesses. The estrangement between Barrack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu is well-documented, as is Obama's diplomatic efforts to play nice with terrorist-backing states like Syria, Iran, and most recently the Hezbollah. This while cutting off funds to Israel for military equipment, refusing to ship purchased spare parts and munitions, condemning Israel for building legal settlements in its own territory, threatening major sanctions against Israel if they attempt to deal with the Iranian nuclear problem on their own, and much more.

What consequences of such a stance against Israel can we suggest have taken place?

1. A dramatic increase in terror attempts withing the borders of the USA

2. A dramatic increase in weather related events, particularly a surge in major flooding throughout the country.

3. An economy that has had "prosperity and posterity" removed from its foundation. A turn against Godly principles in one area has proven to be true across the board. God will not bless this nation as he has in the past as long at it rejects his existence, refuses to follow his principles, turns against both his covenant people (Israel) and the church (those saved by grace), and continues on the same path of exalting humanity as did the founders of Babel.

4. Knowing that accidents happen, is it not amazing--and somewhat alarming--to see the Gulf of Mexico turning the sickly color of decaying blood from a massive oil leak? A massive portion of our eco-system in the south is about to be destroyed, and the powers that be will be partying in Chicago....while probably blaming the previous administration for whatever ills result from the current disaster.

The bottom line is since the moment our President dissed Israel, the convergence of events is all to obvious. Repentance is being demanded, and should repentance continue to be ignored, the USA will rapidly dwindle into the pile of irrelevant nations that God has discarded over the centuries. In the meantime, the Lord promises his followers that he will never leave them or forsake them...even in the face of economic collapse, cultural disillusionment, and severe persecution. In other words, believer friend, it is time to draw closer than ever before to the one and only King of Kings! In the days to come, if your hear is right and your eyes are fixed on Jesus, you will be used for the Kingdom beyond your wildest imagination, and He will see us through to the end.

One Thing Right...But Is it Too Late?

President Obama seems to have done something that can be classified as right. He has listened to his Central Command General, David Petreaus, and has authorized military intelligence gathering flights over Iran. Israel has taken this as a sign that the US might actually be considering a "strike" option. My suggestion to the Israelis would be.... "Guys, don't hold your breath." With the situation on the Korean peninsula heating up in a dramatic way, Obama's military options are about to be stretched beyond his community-organizing-capacity. With two wars already in progress, the USA cannot afford to enter two more... i.e. Korea and Iran. Just guessing here, but since we have 28,000 troops along the North/South Korean border, Iran will be free to continue its surge toward gaining nuclear weapons. Again, Israel will have to go it alone.

In the meantime, Debkafile reports...............

Syria Has 1,000 Ballistic Missiles Zeroed on Israeli Targets

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 26, 2010
A colossal Iran-funded and directed armament program has enabled Syria to field 1,000 ballistic missiles and Hizballah 1,000 rockets - all pointed at specific Israeli military and civilian locations, including the densely populated conurbation around Tel Aviv, debkafile's military sources reveal. Syria has smuggled most of its stock of liquid-fuel powered ballistic missiles over to Hizballah in Lebanon, while its own production lines have been working day and night for five months to upgrade its stock solid fuel-propelled missiles, so improving their accuracy. North Korean military engineers and technicians are employed on those production lines.
According to Western military sources, a command center for coordinating a missile offensive against military and civilian targets in Israel has been operating at Syrian general staff headquarters in Damascus since early March with the help of Iranian, Syrian, Hizballah and Hamas liaison officers.
The command center, operating under direct Iranian command, was formally established at a gala banquet attended by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Syrian President Bashar Assad, and Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Damascus on February 25. Its primary mission was defined as "target unification" - military lingo for interaction at the command level to make sure that Tehran, Damascus, Beirut and Gaza do not send short-range missiles flying toward the same Israeli target at the same time. Each of the four has been assigned one of four Israeli sectors and given specialist training in its features.
The new joint command gave Hizballah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah the confidence to sneer at Israel's five-day, countrywide home front missile defense exercise, which ends Thursday, May 27.
In a speech on Tuesday, May 25, he said: 'Israel wants to reassure its people and make them feel strong and properly prepared to stand up to all possible war situations. But this assurance is false. So carry on with your drills," he said, "but when the rockets start falling on the occupied territories, we'll soon see how much good they are."

The command center's central strategy, say our military sources, is to eliminate the Israel Air Force's edge by releasing a simultaneous deluge of missiles and rockets from hundreds of stationary and mobile launching sites in remote parts of Syria, Lebanon, Iran and the Gaza Strip.Most of the projectiles in the Syrian, Hizballah and Hamas arsenals are propelled by liquid fuel and therefore take 50 minutes to 1 hour to load and loose at assigned targets. During this time gap, they are vulnerable to air attack. As a bridging device, western intelligence sources believe the joint command in Damascus plans to attack Israel with synchronized missile fire from Iran and Syria during the time Israeli warplanes are hammering, say, Hizballah batteries in Lebanon. The thinking in Tehran and Damascus is that the Israeli Air Force will find it hard to tackle three or four fronts simultaneously.
Tehran and Damascus are therefore building air shields around their missile bases and launching sites, for which purpose Assad asked Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to speed up the delivery of the advanced Russian Pantsir anti-aircraft missiles when the latter visited Damascus on May. Medvedev promised to accede to this request.
debkafile's military sources recall that the same Russian Pantsir missiles were ineffective in preventing the September 2007 air strike, by which Israel destroyed the North Korean plutonium reactor financed by Tehran at Al-Azur in northern Syria.

Obama Seeking to talk to Hezbollah Moderates...God Help Us!

The combination of ineptitude and disdain for the traditional values that made America the greatest nation on earth, Barrack Obama continues to do the exact opposite of what he should be doing as President. Here are some examples:

Rather than forthrightly condemning North Korea for its unprovoked torpedoing of a South Korean warship, Obama sends Hillary to China in an attempt to make the boys play nice.

Rather than harness the power of the federal government to attack the forming oil-spill disaster in the Gulf, Obama puts his boot on the neck of BP and takes his wife on a romantic weekend to New York.

Rather than honor the fallen heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan by attending Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery (as is tradition for the sitting POTUS), Obama will spend the weekend partying in Chicago, and then honor Paul McCartney at a White House concert on Tuesday.

Now, fresh from its brilliant attempts at 'engaging' Iran and Syria, the Obama administration has the developed the clever idea to locate and build up 'moderates' in Hezbullah.

John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism, met with Lebanese leaders during a recent visit. "Hezbollah is a very interesting organization," Brennan told a Washington conference, citing its evolution from "purely a terrorist organization" to a militia to an organization that now has members within the parliament and the cabinet.

"There is certainly the elements of Hezbollah that are truly a concern to us what they're doing. And what we need to do is to find ways to diminish their influence within the organization and to try to build up the more moderate elements," Brennan said.

He did not spell out how Washington hoped to promote "moderate elements" given that the organization is branded a "foreign terrorist organization" by the United States.

"We don't deal with them," he acknowledged.

Yeah RIGHT! We talk with their most ideological and financial provider, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad! What a joke this White House bunch is turning out to be! The problem is the joke will be on Israel....and on all of us who hold to traditional, conservative, Godly values.

Last Ditch Effort Underway

Prime Minister, Netanyahu: Nations must prevent Iran nukes
Jerusalem Post

“Greatest danger to humanity posed by nuclear-armed radical Islam.”
The nations of the world must unite to stop the Iranian nuclear program, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at a conference of Russian-speaking journalists on Sunday. Netanyahu spoke at the 12th world conference of Russian-speaking press, held at Dan Panorama hotel in Tel Aviv. He said the world must recognize the danger that a nuclear Iran poses to all nations, and act to prevent it.
“Most of world terrorism originates in radical Islam,” he said, adding that the greatest danger humanity faces is if the most fanatical and violent ideology attains the most destructive tool of terrorism possible – nuclear arms.
“The greatest tragedies to befall the Jewish, Russian and Ukrainian people, occurred when they did not recognize danger in time. I expect all peace-seeking nations to join hands to stop evil,” Netanyahu said.
Iran said it would submit the understandings reached in the Teheran Declaration on transferring its low-enriched Uranium to Turkey to the International Atomic Energy Agency Monday.

Netanyahu is now pursuing a last-ditch effort to raise international action against the Iranians and there headlong rush toward nuclear weapons. Sadly, he is not, nor will he be succesful in garnishing support for biting sanctions. He now knows Obama is a dead end. Russia is about to install its vaunted S-300 anti-aircraft system in Iran. The window for dealing with Iran is closing. In the least, when Israel is forced to deal with Iran militarily, Netanyahu will be able to point to his exhaustive attempt to raise the alarm. In the end, not even that will keep the entire world from turning against the Jewish state.

What do they have going for them? Nothing less than Jehovah, God Almighty!

Try reading Ezekiel 38 and 39 to see how God will react to Russia, Iran, Libya, Turkey, and the Sudan.

Obama's Ridiculous Sanctions Allow for the S-300

Lifting US Ban on Russia's S-300s for Iran Blows Hole in Israel's Security

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis May 22, 2010

Russian S-300 missile-air defense systemIsrael's security suffered a major setback on the eve of its homeland war-safety exercise (starting Sunday, May 23) from three Obama administration concessions that were granted to buy Moscow's backing for UN Security Council sanctions against Iran. One was the deletion of an embargo on sophisticated weaponry, including the suspended sale of Russian S-300 systems sought by Tehran for shooting down any US or Israel warplanes attacking its nuclear sites.
As Israel prepared to drill millions of the country's civilians to prepare for synchronized assault by hundreds of rockets and missiles from Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, Washington awarded Moscow, i.e. Tehran, three additional gains.
US officials indicated they did not rule out a new round of nuclear negotiations with Tehran - even after the Brazilian-Turkish-mediated enriched uranium deal signed with Iran last Monday, May 17.

And on Friday, May 21, the administration scrapped sanctions against the Russian state arms export agency and three other Russian entities that were penalized in the past for transferring sensitive technology or weapons to Iran. Also lifted were sanctions against a fourth Russian entity for illicit arms sales to Syria, including technology for developing the very missiles against which Israel's five-day exercise is preparing the public next week.

Our Washington sources report that the Obama administration bought Russia's backing for a weak UN sanctions resolution by giving way on penalties detrimental to Iran's economy or impeding its nuclear program. America thus opened the door for Russia to start training Iranian S-300 missile crews - without Israeli raising its voice in protest in either capital.
(On May 19, debkafile disclosed for the first time that these crews were already in training at Russian military bases.) To read this article, click here.
Tzachi Hanegbi, chairman of the Knesset foreign affairs and security committee, reaffirmed in a TV Channel One interview Friday night that a nuclear-armed Iran would imperil Israel's very existence. He, like many other Israelis in official positions, strongly gainsays assertions to the contrary by defense minister Ehud Barak.
Saturday, after the new US concessions came to light, administration officials tried to allay criticism in Congress by claiming that Moscow had improved its performance on Iran and would stand by its understanding with Washington not to proceed with the S-300 sale.
However, the training of Iranian operating crews looks more like bringing the sale forward than holding it back.
debkafile's Iranian sources point out that in five short days - since accepting the Brazilian-Turkish uranium swap deal - Tehran has substantially enhanced its international and strategic position in four critical areas:
1. Tough UN sanctions are off the table, leaving individual governments the freedom to proceed, or not, with unilateral penalties against Iran's nuclear violations.
2. The heavily-diluted UN draft omits any mention of energy bans, such the refined oil products, a provision formerly advocated by Washington as the most effective means of forcing Iran to abandon its drive for a nuclear weapon.
3. Not only has the notion of a sea blockade gone by the board, but heavy restrictions are clamped down on searches of vessels suspected of carrying contraband military or nuclear cargoes, for which permission must now be requested by the nation flagged. This allows Iran and Syria to safely import nuclear materials and missiles by sea without fear of interception.
Even before the haggling begins, therefore, the new "sanctions" draft before the UN Security Council scarcely answers to its description.
4. The Obama administration's inclination to treat the new uranium exchange deal brokered by Brazil and Turkey as the Six-Power Group's springboard for bringing Tehran back to the negotiating table offers Iran the gift of more time and space to achieve its ultimate objective of a nuclear weapon.
Military sources point out to debkafile, that Washington's uneven and inconsistent approach to Iran and Syria make naught of the protestations made by President Obama and other US officials of their unshakeable commitment to Israel's security. The unhindered delivery of S-300 missiles to Iran, like the latest Russian arms deal with Syria, substantially offsets Israel's capacity to deter its enemies. Not only are its air force pilots placed in harm's way; so too is the country's entire population.

What does all this mean? I believe the day of descision is fast approaching for Israel. If anything is going to be done to slow Iran's march toward developing nuclear weapons it is going to have to happen before the S-300 system is installed. Obama is now content to let things happen as they may. Just the sound of sanctions gives his ego the false sense that he has actually done something important. All he has accomplished is to bolster Israel's enemies and leave the Jewish people hanging in the wind. A war sometime this summer is now almost unavoidable. Will it be the Psalm 83 prelude to Ezekiel 38 and 39? It very well could be.

Pro-Islamic Obama

US Joins Pro-Muslim 'Alliance of Civilizations'

The Obama administration has announced the United States will join the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, another openly anti-Israel organization. The group was created in 2006 to find ways to bridge the growing divide between Muslim and Western societies – a goal wholeheartedly embraced by President Barack Obama, who has redirected American foreign policy in pursuit of the same goal.

The White House announcement stated that the move is intended to realize Obama's “vision of active U.S. engagement with other nations and international organizations,” a goal sometimes pursued, noted National Review Online columnist Brett D. Schaefer last Thursday, “even when there is little or no chance that doing so will advance U.S. interests.”

The U.S. decision is also meant to support the Alliance goal of “improved understanding and cooperative relations among nations and peoples,” the statement said.

However, the Alliance has been anything but cooperative when it comes to improving understanding of issues relating to the security of Israel's and United States' civilians.

The group claimed in its first report in 2006 that global tensions were driven primarily by the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The same report referred to “a perception among Muslim societies of unjust aggression stemming from the West” in a discussion relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States by the international Al Qaeda terrorist group.

The US feared the organization would be Anti-Israel - in 2006
At the time, the U.S. boycotted the group, expressing concerns that it would become a forum for bashing both Israel and the United States, in a manner similar to that of the U.N. Human Rights Council. However, Obama administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said those concerns have since been addressed.

Since Obama took office a year ago, he has worked hard to reach out to the Islamic community of nations in a series of gestures that make it clear he is bending over backwards to strengthen ties with the Muslim world.

Since his speech from Cairo last June, Obama has reached out to Iran and Syria, restoring full diplomatic relations with Damascus and returning an ambassador to the Syrian capital. The U.S. has also joined the anti-Israel U.N. Human Rights Commission. Both these moves are reversals of prior Bush administration decisions. Though not surprising, they are definitely signs of the the times....times that are winding down quite rapidly.

Environmental Paranoia? How Should Believers Be Treating the Planet?

Al Gore is at it again. In fact, he hasn't stopped preaching the Climate Change mantra...."we are in danger of destroying the planet by human produced carbon emissions." He preaches it consistently, persistently, and intently. The theme, if we don't change from our industrialized society and be as green as possible, then the ice caps will melt, the Polar Bears will vanish, the coasts will sink into the ocean, and the earth will fall into another ice age, thereby destroying life as we know it.

HOGWASH! This is a Babel moment; a movement in which man is attempting to elevate himself into the position of ruler of the planet. With the push for Climate Change standards also comes the call for a Global Government. Someone will have to take charge, with an iron fist, in order to bring the people's of the world into alignment with said standards. This is a group of people (ultra-environmentalists and earth-worshippers) who have convinced foolish politicians that we actually have the power and wherewithal to control the world's climate. (I can see them shaking their fists at the volcano spewing megatons of ash and debris into the skies over Iceland.) Of course, the politicians see a bright side....the way to make boatloads of cash in a "carbon-exchange" scheme that will line their own pockets.

The QUESTION for true believers in Jesus is two fold.

1. How should we view and treat the creation in which we live?

2. Is paranoia about climate change something to be avoided?

First, I believe wholeheartedly that God has given stewardship of the earth over to man. We are not to worship creation, but we should do our best to tend the planet in order to honor the God who created it. That means doing the right things.....not being slothful and wasteful with resources, keeping things clean (no pitching trash out the window of your car), even recycling whenever possible. Planting trees and gardens is good. Always be aware of your surroundings by picking up trash on your evening walk if you can. However, turning green is not going to save the planet from harsh, natural disasters.

The Scriptures have many things to say:

• Jesus said in Matthew 24 that earthquakes, famines, pestilence (all sorts of natural disasters) would increase the closer we get to his return.
• Paul tells us that this is because the creation is groaning in anticipation of the revelation of the sons of redemption....not because of carbon emissions or mismanagement of mother earth.
• The Revelation of Jesus Christ (last book in the Bible) has tons to say about what is going to happen on the earth by way of judgment. These judgments will be handed out by God, not by the hand of men. Here they are:

1. Rev. 6:3-4, Red Horseman of the Apocalypse takes peace away from the earth. War messes things up pretty royally.
2. Rev. 6:5-6, Black Horseman brings famine, followed by the Pale Horseman that unleashes death. Death messes things up pretty royally too. Talk about pollution!
3. Rev. 8:7, 1st Trumpet Judgment.... One third of all trees and grass burn up. That means the removal of carbon dioxide from the air decreases by one third.... result: air pollution!
4. Rev. 8:8-9, 2nd Trumpet Judgment.... One third of the seas become blood, one third of all life in the world's oceans die, one third of all shipping sinks.
5. 1, Trumpet Judgment #3.... One third of all fresh water becomes undrinkable, bitter, and poisonous.
6. Rev. 16:3, 2nd Bowl Judgment.... The entirety of the oceans and seas turns to blood.
7. Rev. 16:4-7, 3rd Bowl Judgment... Ditto with the rest of the planet's fresh water.
8. Rev. 16:8-9, 4th Bowl Judgment.... The Sun increases its heat by one third... I'd call that God-instigated global warming. But notice which is the cooker and which is the cookee.
9. Rev. 16:10-11, 5th Bowl Judgment... Darkness engulfs the city of the world's anti-Christ ruler.
10. Rev. 16:17-21, 7th Bowl Judgment.... 100 pound hailstones batter the earth. This is followed by a worldwide earthquake, and I imagine most of the worlds volcanoes will be spewing by then.

What am I saying? Listen believer in Jesus Christ, to get all paranoid about climate change is a waste of your emotional and spiritual energy. Be clean. Be as green as you want, but the earth is heading for real hope and change in the form of a RE-CREATION, not in a reformation of the activities of mankind. Don't fall for this man-is-in-charge-of-his-own-destiny nonsense. Our very first representative, Adam, gave that up in the Garden of Eden. The earth, and all of creation, is in need of the same redemption that is required by every human being. That redemption has already been provided in the death and resurrection of the Son of the the Living God.... His name is Jesus not Mohammad. He is on his way back to the earth to judge sin once and for all. He is our hope. In him, we are already part of the New Creation!

Syria Says No

Israel seems to be desperately seeking a way to avoid an all-out war. Yet, though they are offering everything from expanded borders for the West Bank, to handing over the Golan Heights to Syria, nothing seems to be working. It is time to step up our prayer for thepeace of Jerusalem.

'Syria turned down Peres peace offer'
By JPOST.COM STAFF
18/05/2010

President Shimon Peres sent a message to Syria, offering to return the Golan Heights in exchange for a promise that Damascus would sever its ties with Iran and various terrorist groups, Syrian President Bashar Assad told the Lebanese As-Safir paper in an interview published Tuesday.

Assad was quoted as saying that Peres sent the message through Russian President Dmitry Medvedev while on a visit to Russia last week. Medvedev embarked on a visit to the Middle East later that week. He visited Turkey and Syria, where he met with Hamas officials as well as Syrian ones.

The president's office issued a clarification following the publication of the interview, confirming that Peres had indeed sent a message to Assad through Medvedev, but that he had not offered to hand over control of the Golan Heights.

According to the clarification, Peres stressed in his message to his Syrian counterpart that "Israel does not plan to attack Syria, nor does it intend to cause an escalation [of tensions] in the North."

His message further stated that Israel was interested in peace and "prepared to immediately engage in peace talks with the Syrians." He added, however, that Jerusalem would "not allow Syria to continue to two-time Israel by demanding a withdrawal from the Golan Heights on the one hand while setting up Iranian missiles on the mountains of the North."

Peres further stated that Israel would not "enter into peace talks while being threatened," urging Damascus to cease its support of Hamas and Hizbullah's terrorist activity.

Now for some fun......true, but fun!

Obama's Sanction Planned Goes Down in Flames

Oops....Brazil stepped into the fray yesterday and sent the inept Obama administration into a sanctionless tailspin. It was as if a P-52 prop fighter turned on an FA-18 multi-role attack aircraft and shot it out of the sky. Why? Pilot skills! Obama is driving an administration that is so far out of its league, both in experience and in morality, that it has little chance of doing anything but damage. Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad snaps photos and grins that unshaven monkey grin as he laughs in the world's face.

Headline......Debkafile Sanctions Against Iran is a Dead Letter

The Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu convened his inner cabinet in Jerusalem Tuesday, May 18, to decide how to handle the crisis created by the Brazilian-Turkish-Iranian uranium enrichment accord.
But fact is that sanctions with real bite had never been more than a will-o'-the wisp in the first place.
For months, President Obama chased the unreachable goal of unanimous UN Security Council approval of sanctions as empowerment for tough, unilateral US and European sanctions against Iran. Russia and China had circled around the draft but never climbed aboard.

Netanyahu has been holding out as long as he possibly can. Amidst calls by the Obama regime, then recently the Russians, that Israel disclose its nuclear capabilities, Netanyahu has been quietly strengthening his coalition and his position among the Israeli populace. Over 90% of Israelis now fully believe they are alone against the world. The only country to have stepped up to the plate to offer encouragement has been lowly Colombia.

How much longer can Benjamin Netanyahu exercise patience when Iran continues to enrich uranium for the bomb, Syria continues to funnel arms and rockets into Lebanon, Gaza reloads, and the American administration fades into irrelevance? My guess is it won't be long!

The Masters of Chess are at it Again

Before you read this snippet from the Associated Press, remember that the game of Chess was created in Iran (Persia). They are masters of the game. They know how to move and counter move. They know how to sacrifice a pawn, or use a move as a feint to draw attention away from the true intent. Brazil, decidedly anti-American and anti-Israeli, has stepped into the ongoing nuclear situation by brokering a deal between Iran and Turkey. The plan? To ship Iran's low-enriched uranium to Turkey using Brazilian shipping. Turkey would continue to enrich the material to a "nuclear plant" level.

We must also remember that Turkey and Iran are now intertwined in a full military/economic cooperation pact....which also includes Syria. The question will be whether or not the United Nations will fall for the ruse, as they are looking for a way out of the growing situation. This might be their "out." Plus, I am interested to see how the Obama Administration spins this agreement. Will they see it as positive? Or will the blinders continue to be locked into place?

Iran agrees to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
17/05/2010


French FM calls on UN watchdog to weigh in on Brazil-brokered deal to ship uranium to Turkey; agreement would deprive Iran of stocks for atomic weapons but Iranian enrichment to continue.
Iran agreed Monday to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey in a nuclear fuel swap deal that could ease the international standoff over the country's disputed nuclear program, just as pressure mounts for tougher sanctions.

The deal was reached in talks with Brazil and Turkey, elevating a new group of mediators for the first time in the dispute over Iran's nuclear activities. There was no immediate comment from the United States and the other world powers that have led earlier negotiations as to whether the new deal would satisfy them and stave off a fourth round of UN sanctions.

Here's the Clencher to this Charade..... Turkey has no enrichment facilities.

Do All Roads Lead to Heaven?

Guest Columnist

All Roads Lead to Heaven?
By Albert Mohler

What catches the attention of a columnist for The Washington Post? A recent column by Kathleen Parker indicates that theology has become a focus of national attention. Kathleen Parker used her column in The Washington Post to take on Franklin Graham and his belief that belief in Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

Parker began her column with the fact that Franklin Graham prayed outside the Pentagon last Thursday, rather than inside, having been disinvited by the Pentagon as the speaker for its scheduled National Day of Prayer service. Graham, you will remember, was disinvited because of statements he made about Islam — statements directly referenced by the Army spokesman as “not appropriate.”

Those statements made clear reference to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only message of salvation, to Christ as the only Savior, and to Islam as an evil belief system that pulls millions away from faith in Christ and delivers no hope of salvation. In a later interview, Graham made his point about the uniqueness of the Christian Gospel, adding Hinduism as another example of a false religion.

All this was too much for Kathleen Parker, who asked: “Oh well, it doesn’t matter where one prays, right? All prayers lead to heaven. Or do they?”

She took direct aim at Franklin Graham’s theology, arguing that “Graham’s views didn’t sit very well with secular Americans or even non-evangelical Christians.” Well, probably not — and that serves to indicate what makes evangelical Christianity distinct from secular Americans and secularized Christianity.

But, Parker advised her readers, evangelicals are not likely to hold onto this belief for long. In her words:

Graham isn’t alone in his views. A survey of 1,000 Protestant pastors, conducted by an evangelical polling firm, found that 47 percent agree that Islam is “a very evil and a very wicked religion.” But such opinions may be confined mostly to an older generation. Evangelicals under 30 believe that there are many ways to God, not just through Jesus.
In essence, Kathleen Parker was advising secular America that the distinctive evangelical belief in the necessity of belief in Christ for salvation has a generational expiration date stamped on it. She then cites research by David Campbell of Notre Dame and Robert Putman of Harvard indicating that “nearly two-thirds of evangelicals under 35 believe non-Christians can go to heaven, vs. 39 percent of those over 65.”

So, even as secular Americans are expected to recoil in horror at the idea that there are Christians who still believe that faith in Jesus is the only way of salvation, they are given the hope that the coming generation of younger evangelicals will abandon that conviction and follow the path set by liberal Protestantism. There are signs she may be right, but this would mean the surrender of the Gospel.

But Kathleen Parker is not finished with her argument. She then turns to Fingerprints of God, a recent book by Barbara Bradley Hagerty of National Public Radio. Hagerty cites neuroscience as giving evidence of a “God spot” in the brain that supposedly indicates that all religious beliefs are the same:
Her research led to some startling conclusions that have caused no small amount of Sturm und Drang among those who believe theirs is the one true way. She found that whether one is a Sikh, a Catholic nun, a Buddhist monk or a Sufi Muslim, the brain reacts to focused prayer and meditation much in the same way. The same parts light up and the same parts go dark during deep meditation.
Well, no Sturm und Drang here, Mrs. Parker. This neuroscience may tell us something about the operation of the brain, but it tells us nothing of theological importance. It might indicate that certain religious practices have similar effects in the brain, but it tell us nothing about which theological beliefs are true. The evidence from neuroscience is of interest in this respect only to those who believe that all religious experience is merely a reflection of biology — and if you believe this you are not concerned about heaven or hell at all.

Kathleen Parker’s column is indeed revealing. But the most revelatory aspect of her essay is its unmasked hostility toward any belief that there is only one way of salvation. This is the so-called “scandal of particularity” that causes so much secular offense. In recent years the Roman Catholic Church has officially embraced forms of inclusivism in order to reduce this burden, and liberal Protestantism has embraced just about every relativistic alternative, from outright universalism to various forms of inclusivism, in which people are believed to be saved through Christ, but not through any conscious knowledge of Him. The universalists argue that all religions lead to the same truth. Inclusivists argue that all faiths eventually lead to Christ, even if He is not known. Both are repudiations of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The column by Kathleen Parker is yet another signpost of the current age and the worldview of the secularized classes. In their view, what evangelicals believe about the Gospel of Jesus Christ is just out of bounds and embarrassing. But, she tells her readers, don’t worry — younger evangelicals are going to put that belief far behind them.

Is she right?

The Truth Comes Out About Iran's Intentions

Muslim cleric calls for 'Greater Iran'
By ASSOCIATED PRESS


TEHERAN, Iran — A radical cleric called Saturday for the creation of a "Greater Iran" that would rule over the entire Middle East and Central Asia, in an event that he said would herald the coming of Islam's expected messiah.
Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi said the creation of what he termed an Islamic United States is a central aim of the political party he leads - called Hizbullah, or Party of God. He added that he hoped to make his vision a reality if the party won the next presidential election.
Kharrazi's comments revealed the thinking of a growing number of hard-liners in Iran, many of whom have become more radical during the postelection political crisis and the international standoff over the country's nuclear program. Kharrazi, however, is not highly influential in Iran's clerical hierarchy and his views do not represent those of the current government.
Kharrazi's comments were published Saturday in his newspaper, Hizbullah.
He said he envisioned a Greater Iran that would stretch from Afghanistan to Israel, bringing about the destruction of the Jewish state.
He also said its formation would be a prelude to the reappearance of the Mahdi, a revered ninth-century saint known as the Hidden Imam, whom Muslims believe will reappear before judgment day to end tyranny and promote justice in the world.
"The Islamic United States will be an introduction to the formation of the global village of the oppressed and that will be a prelude to the single global rule of the Mahdi," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
Besides Israel, he said the union would also destroy Shi'ite Iran's other regional adversaries, whom he called "cancerous tumors." He singled out secular Arab nationalists such as members of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party in Iraq, as well as followers of the austere version of Sunni Islam practiced primarily in Saudi Arabia that is known as Wahabism.
Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Arab nations have watched Iran's growing regional clout with deep concern.
The growing voice of hard-liners like Kharrazi has deepened worries even if it appears unlikely such a divisive figure would win the 2013 presidential election.
Still, even Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that he expects the government which follows his to be "ten times more revolutionary."

What is Actually Going To Happen?

While every detail is known only by God, certain events stand out that paint a clear picture as to how this crises will shape up and eventually end.

Fact: Islam seeks to dominate the world, particularly the land that was deeded to Isaac. Islam, the religion that was birthed through the sons of Ishmael, will be the tool used to reach out and attempt to grab that land.

Fact: Islam, represented by Allah, is rising with the intent of challenging Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Fact: Jehovah is the only true God.

Only two rounds will be required in this cosmic boxing match.

Round One will involve and Iranian instigated threat coming from Syrian, Lebanon, Gaza, Jordan, and Egypt. (Saudi Arabia is probably included as well.) Israel (Ezekiel 25 and Isaiah 17) will react with vengeance and destroy these nation's capacity to govern themselves. Israel will actually take over roughly ten times the amount of land it now occupies. End round one!

Round Two will begin as a Muslim coalition led by Russia and Iran, will descend upon the newly outlined land of Israel. Turkey, Libya, and the nations of the Horn of Africa will join this Magog army. Jehovah-God will rise up in fury and destroy the attacking coalition once and for all.

Round Two ends with a full knock-out of Allah, Islam, and any power possessed by Ishmael.

So, what we are seeing is the swelling of Allah/Ishmael in opposition of the covenant people of God. Get ready for Round One!

Prophetically Oriented Events in the News... May 14, 2010

Events of NOTE

In the World of Prophecy

• 
  
  Ignoring the objections of 37 human rights organizations, the United Nations General Assembly voted to seat Libya on the UN Human Rights Council. The regime of Mohammar Ghdafy is one of the most brutal tyrannies in existence, yet the United Nations as seen fit to place Libya in a position to make human rights policy for the rest of the world. Libya's Biblical Significance......Libya is listed as a Magog coalition member that will rise against Israel in the very near future. See Ezekiel 38 & 39 .... Libya's ancient name is Put.


• 
  
  Attorney General, Eric Holder, refuses to label Radical Islam as a reason for recent attacks on the United States of America. Under severe questioning by a Senator, Holder repeatedly backed away from stating the obvious. Until the leadership of the United States acknowledges the fact that radical Islam is a reality, that it cannot be negotiated with, and that it will never back down, our nation and people will remain in peril.


• 
  
  Russian President, Dymetry Medvedev, signaled during a Wednesday visit to Syria that Russia would be willing to help get Syria back on track with its nuclear program. As you recall, Israel bombed a reactor being built by the North Koreans in the Syrian desert. Now, Medvedev says "Cooperation on atomic energy could get a second wind." What is Syria's significance in prophecy?..... Isaiah 17 tells us that Damascus is soon to be destroyed, probably in a nuclear exchange with Israel. The oldest city in the world that has yet to have been destroyed will be removed from existence in an overnight attack. Of course, Russia's significance in the world of end time events is clearly seen in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Known as Magog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, Russia is now moving behind the scenes with the intent to control the entire Middle East....including Israel.

There you have it for May 14, 2010.....staying abreast of what is happening will help you be ready for what is soon to take place. As prophetic events unfold, one thing you should take from it all is the knowledge that God's Word is absolutely and utterly trustworthy. This is not only true for prophecy, but for every area of your daily life. Get into the Bible. Read it. Absorb it. Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate it to your heart. He will do just that!

Palestinians Woo Obama with Messianic Words...Iran Test Fires Missiles

Palestinians Massage Obama's Ego by Asking Him to be their MESSIAH

Roadside signs have been posted in areas of Judea and Samaria occupied by the Palestinian Authority in recent days beseech President Barack Hussein Obama II to be their Moses, redeeming and liberating them. The signs read: "Barack Obama, free us from slavery, occupation and the settlements."

The messianic signs are part of a "Dear Barack" campaign that also includes emailing letters to the White House. The PA's Wafa news agency reports that thousands of PA residents have been sending personal emails to Obama's address every day, encouraging him to intervene on their behalf. "Only free people can free us from the slavery and humiliation, and history will judge them as heroes," the emails state.

The campaign was the brainchild of a local radio station, which reportedly got the idea following an interview with a member of Fatah's Revolutionary Council, Israel National News reported.

If Obama is the Messaiah it might explain why he has not presented an original birth certificate and why, as is reported today, he lacks a valid US Social Security number.

The DebkaFile Reports

Iran test-fires same missiles as handed to Hizballah


Iran wound up its biggest ever naval exercise, Velayat 89, Wednesday, May 12, by simultaneously firing 30 short-range, surface-to-surface Fajr missiles of the same types as the brand-new, advanced weapons in the Lebanese Hizballah's armory, debkafile's military sources report. The display was Tehran's way of advising Israel of the heavily upgraded capabilities Hizballah has in store for the Jewish state and also responding to the big war game Israel conducted on its northern borders from Sunday through Thursday, May 9-12.
Compared with earlier models, the new Fajr-5 is more accurate and carries a bigger payload. The types Hizballah used against northern Israeli in 2006 had a range of 75 kilometers, reaching as far as Hadera, 45 kilometers short of Tel Aviv and the Jezreel Valley on the southern fringes of Galilee. The version fired in the Iranian exercise could reach deeper into Israel's heavily populated regions, around Netanya and Herzliya, at a distance of 110 kilometers from the Lebanese border.
The new Fajar 5 is also highly mobile and usable at short notice.
In their exercise, the Iranians also fired the older Fajar 3 ("Dawn") missile, which has been in the Hizballah arsenal since before 2006. Their range has been extended from 45 to 70 kilometers.
Wednesday, too, Brig. Gen. Nissim Peretz, head of the IDF Logistics Division, disclosed that Israel's armed forces had begun dismantling the large logistics bases holding munitions, weapons, fuel and provisions stores and scatterng them among smaller and better protected facilities.
This is in line with the advance preparation of the home front for missile attack in potential war hostilities. Brig. Peretz explained that the relocation of these vital military facilities would ensure the IDF's ability to fight without interruption and have supplies of essentials available - even when under missile assault.
Just as the home front must be prepared to sustain attack, said the officer, so too must military installations to the rear be secured in good time.
