Between 1096 and 1271 the best-known crusades are those fought against the Muslims of the eastern Mediterranean for the Holy Land. Crusades were also fought from the 12th century against the Iberian Moors, the Ottoman Empire and for a variety of other reasons. Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, ordered the Jews to be protected when he learned of Emicho's intent to kill them. Bishop of Speyer gave shelter to the Jews and the Bishop of Worms also attempted to shelter Jews, but the crusaders broke in to his episcopal palace and killed at least 800 Jews when they refused Catholic [aka Christian] baptism. Apparently the Jews were blamed* for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. More here

| Isaac & Ishmael, Jews & Muslims - Then And Now 10-30-17, Archives of Jack Kelley -- At age 90 Abraham & Sarah still were childless [Gen 18:11] so Sarah had ole Abe make a baby with the Egyptian maid Hagar. She had a son they named him Ishmael. Then Sarah had a son named Isaac. There was no peace in the house/tent so Abe sent Hagar & Ishmael away. That was the beginning of the wars and hatred between the Jews and the Muslims. However, God told Hagar that her son would be a vagabond, “wild ass” of a man with his hand against every man and every man’s hand against him. (Gen. 16:12-16, 21:5) And so it's been for centuries with the warring Muslims. | God promised Abraham his lineage and descendants would prosper and be as the sand of the seashore and all nations would be blessed. [Genesis 22:15-18; Romans 9:27] Ishmael, represented by today's Islamic nations and Isaac is represented by the Jews of Israel. It’s another giant signpost that the End of the Age is upon us. You can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the wars of today are still between Ishmaelites and Israelites; now called Muslims and Jews.Future prophecy: Ishmael will once again be driven away and God will use the occasion to re-instate His ancient covenant with the children of Israel. [Ezekiel 34:13; Ezra 6:14] |

The Lord Jesus is the New Wineskin
Jesus parable of wine skins: No one puts a piece of a new cloth upon old; otherwise the new will also be weak and tear. The new agreeth not with the old. And no one puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, the wine is lost and the bottles perish. New wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
Matthew 9:17; Luke 5:36–38; Hebrews 10:4
1-14-20, * -- In Luke 5:36-39 the people were confused; wanting to know why the Lord Jesus and the disciples weren’t obeying and honoring the old law and tradition of fasting like the Pharisees. They had an expectation that Jesus would maintain their vision for holiness and piety as done by their forefathers. A new testament and the Savior had arrived with a new covenant for salvation; Jesus broke their expectations and they hated Him. God was doing a new thing (new wine). And this new thing required new behaviors (new wineskins). Disrupting the status quo meant life as people knew it changed. People tried to project their version of how God’s Messiah should behave onto Jesus and His ministry as they didn’t like how He did things:

521BC: The Jews Second Temple in Jerusalem
“The first thing that is similar between President Trump’s Deal of the Century and King Cyrus’ proclamation is that both men are non-Jewish political figures who are coming in the name of the God of Israel in order to advance the divine plan incumbent upon the Jewish nation. This may be the reason why Trump’s deal is uncomfortable for Israelis and Israeli politicians who are certainly not used to this in their political forum. There are very few Israeli politicians who act or speak this way, certainly not secular politicians and not even the religious politicians.” – Dr Minnes
Ezra 1:2-3, 2; 2 Chronicles 36:23
1-29-20, Dr Rafael Minnes of the universities in Israel believes that the US President Donald Trump may be a parallel to the 515 BC Cyrus the Great, King of Persia [today’s Iran] and Media vanquished the Babylonian army, decreed [at the urging of prophets Haggai and Zechariah, who – almost 2000 years ago - facilitated and helped the Jews rebuild their second temple of worship] and the exiled Jews return to Judea, which had become the Persian province of Yehud (Ezra 1:2-3, 2; 2 Chronicles 36:23).
King Cyrus did not take upon himself to act for the Jewish people. He did not build the Temple or reinstate the Davidic Dynasty; he merely enabled the Jews to act independently. [Haggai 1:1-15 & 2:1-23]
That is precisely what Trump is doing. Trump offered to apply sovereignty to all Judah and Samaria, which Prime Minister Netanyahu hadn't considered. He is not giving Israel a gift or forcing something upon us. He is telling us to do what is our right and obligation to do in our own country and he is doing so without any pre-conditions. Trump announced that it is Israel’s right to express our sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
Just as many people do not view Trump’s deal favorably, this was also true when King Cyrus proclaimed that the Jews could return to build the Second Temple. Most of the Jews opposed Cyrus’ decree. The Jews who supported Cyrus and acted on his decree were the less successful segments of the Jewish community, the poor and powerless with no status in Babylonian society. This also seems to be the case today, that the Jews who look for their own personal short-term goals which necessitate their staying in exile object to Trump’s politics; but looking at a larger vision of a future for the Jewish People, Trump’s politics in general and this deal, in particular, are precisely what will take us there. “He opened the door for us to do what we need to do. Despite all its shortcomings, Cyrus’ proclamation paved the way for the Second Temple. The same might be said of Trump’s deal.

History of the Temple
The first Jewish temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. Approximately 515 BC under the support and help of King Cyrus it was rebuilt. It was believed to be the Lord's dwelling place (Deut 12:14-15). It also played a central role in the early history of Christianity. Jesus’ family came to the temple after His birth for His circumcision and to celebrate the redemption of the firstborn (Exod 13:13, Num 18:15-16). Later, Jesus taught in the temple during one of His family’s Passover pilgrimages (Luke 2:41-48).
It's recorded that the Lord Jesus saw the corrupt practices within His temple and with righteous anger He overturned the money changers’ tables and chased them out with a whip (Mark 11:15). Jesus was participating in the festival (John 2:13) of Passover. The temple and its sacrifices figure prominently in Hebrews 10:1-8. Then in 70 AD it was destroyed by the Romans. *Excerpted and adapted full original report here

The Israel & Palestinian Deal for Peace:
When Muslims Refuse Deal ...
The BIG DEAL OF THE CENTURY?
***
1-29-20, The massive reunification of Judea and Samaria and Jordan Valley without Muslims agreement: US President Donald J. Trump repeatedly has proven himself unequivocally and with dizzying consistency as an outstanding friend of the Jewish State of Israel; certainly better than any Jew in American party politics. Trump's deal for Israel; the more complex analysis turns on whether it is much more sensible for Israel, decidedly without embracing it, to just sit back and let the “Palestinians” blow it up on their own.
Steps Pres Trump has already taken for the betterment of Israel:
- Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol
- Moved the United States embassy to Jerusalem
- Recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Height
- Declared the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria as not inherently illegal
- Cut off funding for UNRWA [United Nations] for the Palestinians
- Threw the PLO out of Washington
- Pulled America out of the anti-Jewish United Nations Human Rights Council
- It may even be that the “Deal of the Century” has been concocted to break the impasse by inducing the “Palestinian” leadership to prove what they are, thereby justifying Israel moving ahead with Reunification (“annexation” of Judea & Samaria).
- Once the “Palestinians” outright reject the Trump Plan, there remains no further excuse for Israel to refrain from reunifying the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria, for once and for all.
- Justification for reunification becomes that the “Palestinians,” once again, “never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” The door then is opened for the Jews to move forward; brilliant!

The Eternal Goal
The Lord said to Abraham, "I will bless thee, I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. I thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice."
Genesis 22:1, 11-13, 16-18; Proverbs 3:5-6; Acts 5:29; Romans 1:5; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 1 Peter 1:14;
11-17-19, Oswald Chambers Archives -- When God told Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac; he intended to obey ... but God sent an angel to stop him; instead providing a ram in the bushes. There's no possibility of questioning God when He speaks. Prompt obedience is the only result. When Jesus says, “Come,” I simply come; when He says, “Let go,” I let go; when He says, “Trust God in this matter,” I trust. This work of obedience is the evidence that the nature of God is in me. James 2:18
God will never be real to us until we realize Who He is and what Jesus Christ did for us. Then we'll know and can boldly proclaim, “In all the world, my God, there is none but Thee.” Psalm 86:8
The promises of God are of no value to us until, through obedience, we come to understand the nature of God. We may read some things in the Bible; and maybe we aren't fully understanding. However, IF we trust the Lord Jesus in repentance and obedience; then, suddenly we see what God means and His love nature is instantly opened up to us and we are born again into the family of God. John 3:3, 7
“All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen…”
2 Corinthians 1:20
Our “Yes” must be born of obedience; so be it.

US President Trump & Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu Unveil Precepts in 'Peace Plan'
Full video about 48 minutes here
See Prime Min Netanyahu at 30 min mark
1-28-20, In the recent past President Trump broke with the international convention on the Mideast by fulfilling US 1995 law and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and stating that Jerusalem was the Jewish state’s official capitol. He recognized Israel sovereignty over a portion of the Golan Heights and proclaimed that Israeli settlements in Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank] aren’t illegal. The administration also cut off most U.S. aid to the Palestinians because of their paying rewards to Islamic terrorists and closed the Palestine Liberation Organization’s diplomatic mission in Washington.
Today, Tuesday, January 28, 2020 President Donald Trump with Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House announced the plan for peace in the Middle East. [Trump met with challenger to Netanyhu's election - Benny Gantz yesterday, 1-27-20]. Proposing that Israel and the region will be safer [skirting complaints that Palestinians have already rejected the proposal and didn’t take part in drafting the plan or were invited to this current event]. The President said this plan:
However, even before the plan was released, the proposal was criticized by Palestinians and many Mideast analysts for being biased in Israel’s favor and thus unlikely to end the centuries old conflict. And the notion of an “undivided” Jerusalem will anger Palestinians, who have long sought to make East Jerusalem the capital of their future state.

Proposing that Israel and the region will be safer [skirting complaints that Palestinians have already rejected the proposal and didn’t take part in drafting the plan or were invited to this current event]. The President said this plan:
- Presents a “contiguous” [neighboring - see map below] territory for a Palestinian state once conditions are met
- Demands “rejection of terrorism”
- Opens a “transition” to a two-state solution
- Jerusalem Israel’s “undivided capitol”
- Will have a territory destined for Palestinian control that would go undeveloped for four years to give space for talks with Israel to progress
- Israel is willing to make territorial sacrifices [again land for peace!]
- Palestinians will have twice the land
- $50 billion dollars offered for future self sustaining Palestinian people – stop charity
- No Jews or Muslims would be removed from their homes
- Calls on the Palestinian Authority to:
- adopt “basic laws” on protecting all human rights
- fight corruption
- stop malign activities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad
- end financial compensation to terrorists
- stop incitement against the Jewish People of Israel
- recognize Israel as the official 'Jewish State'
However, even before the plan was released, the proposal was criticized by Palestinians and many Mideast analysts for being biased in Israel’s favor and thus unlikely to end the centuries old conflict. And the notion of an “undivided” Jerusalem will anger Palestinians, who have long sought to make East Jerusalem the capital of their future state.
 | The plan gives the Palestinians less than they have been offered in previous plans that they rejected, leaving its prospects for success slim. A Palestinian official Secretary-General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erekat has threatened that the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority would withdraw from key provisions of the Oslo Accords if US President Trump unveils his so-called “Deal of the Century.” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is due to convene Palestinian leaders to discuss the plan after its presentation and to release a statement. His administration has also called for an emergency session of the Arab League in Cairo on Saturday, Feb 1, 2020. Abbas didn't immediately comment on the plan, but called for Palestinian demonstrators to protest in a "Day of Rage" as their response. Israeli security forces prepare for more violent confrontations stemming from disapproval of the 'peace plan.'

God's Work of Providence
“Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.”
Psalm 65:9-10, 11-13
1-20-20, Henry Morris, PhD -- The 65th Psalm [Psalm 65:1] speaks especially of God’s great work of “providence” as supplementing His primeval work of creation. The latter was completed in the six days of the creation week (Genesis 2:1-3). The work of providence, however, still goes on, perpetually reminding us of God’s care for His creatures. “He left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” (Acts 14:17)
God’s providential concern, however, extends not only to men and women. “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle.” (Psalm 104:14) “So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. . . . These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.” (Psalm 104:25, 27) “Behold the fowls of the air: . . . your heavenly Father feedeth them.” (Matthew 6:26)
Note that He is not their heavenly Father, He is our heavenly Father — yet He feeds them! He is merely their maker and provider; yet a single sparrow “shall not fall on the ground without your Father” (Matthew 10:29).
He even provides for the inanimate creation, “upholding all things by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3). The omnipotent God of creation is thus the ever-sustaining and ever-caring God of providence to all His creation.
Still, some choose not to believe, even though “that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen . . . so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:19-20) Source

| Dems focus on Trump's character in impeachment trial 1-25-20, Statesman.com -- President Trump's character in impeachment trial is being used instead of presenting facts of broken laws. They detailed opinions & beliefs rather than evidence of wrong doing. Schiff’s pointed & increasingly personal approach in an attempt to go beyond the specifics of House Dems’ argument that -if allowed to remain in office - Pres Trump is an untrustworthy who is likely to flout the Constitution. “It goes to character; you don’t realize how important character is in the highest office in the land until you don’t have it.” Trump’s defenders will show that VP Joe Biden’s push to oust former Ukraine prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was overseeing a probe of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma at the same time Hunter Biden was a highly paid unqualified board member - was abuse of power and corruption. | Democrats' Trump Impeachment Will Backfire, Just Like the Mueller Fiasco 9-27-19, PJMedia -- Democrats have rushed to impeach Pres Trump on flimsy charges to distract from their radical agenda and bad past. Just like the Russia hoax, this latest attack will backfire. How many times are the Dems permitted to cry "wolf" before a rational body politic tells them to go fly a kite? Instead of retreating with tails between their legs over their failed Russia hoax, they're already at it again. Did any Democrats leading the false charge that President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election ever apologize for putting the country through this nightmare? Did any of their media water carriers ever backpedal from their anti-Trump sensationalism? Of course not. |

The World Under Stress - Being Tested
Apostles asked Jesus about future; He said:
"Woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."
Luke 21:23-28; Revelation 6:7-8
1-26-20, John Haller's weekly world & prophecy update is jam packed with news of current events; as if we were not already in a heightened state of awareness this week was a doozey.
As the key players in the Middle East continue to line up, President Trump has announced the much anticipated "Deal of the Century" for Middle East Peace will be unveiled this week in Washington DC as Israel's leaders have been invited to the White House Tuesday Jan 28, 2020. Is this just one of many "peace and security" proposals? Time will tell, but it still causes us to pause and ponder.
In the Far East, China's Coronavirus is being reported far and wide claiming it's spreading with the potential to be a worldwide pandemic [or is it just more hype to scare the masses?]. To what extent will it affect our world [if at all].
All of this is occurring while the haters of Pres Trump [Democrats in Congress] are endeavoring to unseat him from the White House. The Dems impeachment circus continues as a total mockery of the intent and purpose behind this rarely invoked and tool of last resort to protect and preserve the the process.
Every moment of every day, we are racing toward the ultimate convergence of events, one which will confirm the faith of those born again believers who honor and serve the Lord Jesus Christ and shock the world who wallows in their pride and ignorance, believing themselves to be self-created and masters of their own destinies with no fear of Hell.

To God be the glory, great things he hath done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the lifegate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he hath done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he hath done!
Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he hath done!
Oh give him the glory, great things he hath done

Pres Trump Invites Israel's PM Netanyahu and Benny Gantz to White House to Unveil Peace Plan, January 28, 2020
But there will be no peace ...
"In those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries."
2 Chronicles 15:5; Jeremiah 6:14
1-25-20, ForeignPolicy.com -- On Tuesday, January 28, 2020 the U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival Benny Gantz at the White House. The purpose of the meeting is to unveil some of the details of the Middle East peace plan. PM Netanyahu and Gantz both have accepted the invitation.
In June 2019 - in Bahrain's Middle East Peace to Prosperity Conference, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a White House adviser, announced the first part of the plan—expanding foreign investment in the Muslim aka "Palestinian" enclaves. The meetings were boycotted by Muslim/Palestinian officials. One of the Muslim leaders in Israel, Mahmoud Abbas and other leaders were not invited as they have refused to discuss the plan since the Jewish city of Jerusalem has been recognized by many nations as Israel’s capitol. The US and others have moved their embassies there; in 2018 the USA was the first.
The Palestinians rebuffed attempts to discuss any peace plan with Israel; they were attempted through European intermediaries and are expected to reject the plan once it becomes public. Jeremiah 6:14; Ezekiel 13:16; Matthew 13:43

The Eternal Danger of a Casual View of the End Times: Preparedness
The Apostle Paul said, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
1-22-20, * -- It’s rare to find a Christian Church today that’s preparing people for the end times. I'm not a pre-tribber, a post-tribber or a mid-tribber. I'm a pan-tribber. I believe it will all pan out in the end! [Tribber = great tribulation Matthew 24:21-22] I’m presenting my argument for preparedness.
Sadly many believe because - years ago - they prayed the sinner’s prayer asking Jesus for forgiveness viola! they’re now ‘saved’ and can proceed as before. However, without further growth and building the ‘armor of God’ [Ephesians 6:10-18] to protect us from further sin and falling away … we will fall. [2 Thessalonians 2:3-4]
It absolutely won't all pan out in the end if we don't prepare with intense and strategic discipline; I believe innumerable current lukewarm Christians [Revelation 3:15-16] may spend forever in torment because of a failure to prepare. It will be very easy for those who have adopted the doctrine of eternal security [the mantra ‘once saved always saved!’] to take the mark of the ‘beast’ [Revelation 13:3-4, 16:2]. After all ... nobody can snatch them out of God's hand, right? Wrong. Almighty God has a record book - it's recorded that He adds and deletes names. He doesn't wink at our disobedience. Exodus 32:33; Hebrews 6:4-6; Revelation 3:5
Jesus said; if you love Me obey Me! [John 14:15] They may be casual with a false sense of security and accept the Antichrist — and go to hell. I believe to hear Jesus’ words: ‘Well done thou good and faithful servant’ [Matthew 25:23] we must be deep in daily devotion to the Lord. It’s mandatory.

Simple temptations like lust, blasphemy, greed, gossip, pornography, apathy and other common sins are captivating a high majority of professing Christians today - so what makes us think that without reading God's word and praying daily we’ll have the strength to say no to the most powerful wicked end time manifestations? If we aren’t ‘dead to self’ [Galatians 2:20] our faith and loyalty to the Lord Jesus surely is non-existent.
Especially in modern America, it’s easy to live in sin thinking all is well; God will just 'wink' at our little sins [Acts 17:29-30] living lukewarm lives [Revelation 3:15-16]. Wrong! Being a "pan-tribber" would be laughable if that position weren't so eternally deadly. [2 Peter 2:21] The Apostle James said faith without works is dead; works won’t save us as only faith in Christ can; but our works proves our faith. [James 2:18; Ephesians 2:8-10]

Children in Public School System Not Prepared to Work

Proverbs 22:6

While Biden attacked Trump for tossing "a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox," he admitted that "no American will mourn Qassem Soleimani's passing.

King David & Apostle Paul
Each Had 'One Thing'
The Apostle Paul said, "Being confident of this very thing, that He Who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. v13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. v12 But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until the Day of Christ."
Philippians 1:6, 3:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:12; Psalm 27:4
1-22-20, There is strength in having one single objective; a unique purpose and a limited aim with a solitary intent in life. Too many Christians struggle attempting to juggle a variety of purposes trying to work outside the ‘box’ of the gifts that God gave us:
1 Corinthians 12:8-10, 27-30 - For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Peter 4:10 - As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Romans 12:6-8 - Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
1 Timothy 4:14-16 - Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
The apostle Paul identifies himself in Philippians 1:6, 3:13-14 as a man with a single aim. Targeting one objective is more achievable than fluctuating between many. One purpose has a man’s full attention. Like Paul whatever our task in this earthly life; our one goal should be to fulfill our calling in Christ. 2 Timothy 1:12
And King David was thinking about his ‘one thing’... to dwell and inquire in the Lord's temple. – Psalm 27:4

Soviets Liberated Jews from Nazis at Auschwitz, Poland
1-23-20, At the 75th Anniversary of the Soviets liberating the Jews from Auschwitz, Russia's President Vladimir Putin became emotional as he gave his short remarks in Jerusalem
Axis forces besieged Leningrad [Saint Petersburg] for 872 days, seeking to starve out the Soviet Union’s second-largest city. Almost 650,000 Soviet civilians perished, including Putin’s elder brother Viktor Putin, before the blockade was lifted on January 27, 1944. Documents, diaries and newsreels cannot convey what the people of Leningrad really endured, Putin said at the ceremony. "Deprived of food, light, warmth, they continued to work in hospitals, engage in art, science and education. Sacrificing themselves, they saved a great city for future generations. The unconquered Leningrad became a true legend, the greatness of fortitude and faith in the victory of its inhabitants, the pinnacle of human dignity."
He offered a shocking detail that in a single year the Leningraders donated 144 tons of blood for the troops fighting on the front line, in defiance of their own deprivation. Israel, like Russia, understands the significance of the lessons of WWII and refuses to allow the world to forget where tolerating chauvinism, anti-Semitism, and Russophobia can lead.

1-23-20, Israel's Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said to Russia's President Vladimir Putin: “Israel is appreciative of the great sacrifices the Russian people made in World War II and the overwhelmingly important contributions of the Red Army in defeating the German Nazis and liberating the concentration camps, among them Auschwitz. On a personal note, it is thanks to the Red Army that my mother, who was taken as a teen to Auschwitz, was liberated and immigrated to Israel, where she established a family. As the ones who were liberated, we know exactly who did the liberating. Thank you. We know the historical truth.”
With the comment, Katz was referring to a debate that has surfaced anew in Poland about the role of Russia during the war, with Poland claiming that Russia was an enabler of Hitler because of a pact between Russia and Nazi Germany that Warsaw claims led to a deal to divide Poland between them. Poland is not attending the event Thursday.

1-23-20, Israel is hosting 5th annual World Holocaust Forum, marking the 75 years since the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz Poland was liberated by Soviet troops. Present-day politics have cast a shadow over the solemn occasion, however. Delegations of 40 countries will attend the main event at the Yad Vashem memorial complex to remember the Jewish Nazi Holocaust and express commitment to fighting anti-Semitism.However, Polish President Andrzej Duda refused to attend as he was offended that Russian President Vladimir Putin was invited to speak at the ceremony and he was not. He will be speaking at Poland’s own commemoration on Monday. Poland is embroiled in a bitter dispute with Russia over the causes and consequences of the Second World War.
The current Polish government, President Andrzej Duda has refused to give the Soviet Union any credit for liberating the Jews from Auschwitz death camps – or Poland, for that matter – insisting instead that their country was a purely innocent victim of Nazis and Soviets in equal measure where the Jewish death camps were located.

History
On January 27, 1945 Soviet troops enter Auschwitz, Poland, freeing the Jewish survivors of the network of Nazi Germany concentration camps; finally revealing to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there. Auschwitz was really a group of camps, designated I, II, and III. There were also 40 smaller “satellite” camps. It was at Auschwitz II, at Birkenau, established in October 1941, that the SS Nazis from Germany created a complex, monstrously orchestrated killing ground: 300 prison barracks; four “bathhouses” in which prisoners were gassed; corpse cellars; and cremating ovens. Thousands of prisoners were also used for medical experiments overseen and performed by the camp doctor, Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death.”
The Red Army of the Soviet Union had been advancing deeper into Poland since mid-January 1945 liberating Warsaw and Krakow. Then the Soviet troops headed for Auschwitz. In anticipation of the Soviet arrival, the German Gestapo began a murder spree in the camps, shooting sick prisoners and blowing up crematoria in a desperate attempt to destroy the evidence of their crimes. More here
When the Soviets finally broke through, Soviet soldiers encountered 648 corpses and more than 7,000 starving Jewish survivors. There were also six storehouses filled with literally hundreds of thousands of women’s dresses, men’s suits and shoes that the Germans did not have time to burn.

A source told Save the Persecuted Christians: “They slaughtered him in Sambisa forest because he refused to renounce his faith. And because they couldn’t raise the money for his ransom.”
There has been an increase in Christian kidnappings and violence carried about by both Islamic groups, Boko Haram and ISWAP.

Beast: Mark on Hand and Forehead
The understanding and translation of mark on the hand also includes the entire arm.
The Apostle John's vision: "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, [732 AD Charles Martell] and did live. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads."

In 732 AD France Charles Martel Defeated the Hordes of Islam
By 732 AD in northeastern France in October of 732 AD Commander Charles Martel of the Franks, and likely equal in number to the Muslim army fought General Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who commanded the Umayyad army that had a large amount of cavalry. Charles’ force was well trained and fought with the equipment and close order style that echoed the hoplite formations of the ancient Greeks. He occupied an elevated position and used the trees and rough terrain in front of his infantry to protect them from cavalry charges. Reinforcements arrived for the Muslims, but Charles had arguably better reinforcements. Many of his veterans, who had personally fought under him came in huge numbers. These professional fighting men would have been amongst the best and most experienced in all Europe. Their arrival meant that the main battle was at hand after a week of skirmishing. [..skip]
The Muslims were defeated and the survivors retreated to their camp in the middle of the night, carrying mostly their prized loot. The next morning, Charles was deeply concerned that his enemies were setting up an ambush.
After extensive scouting, it was discovered that the Muslim enemy had fled; forced to withdraw back into Spain. Charles was granted the nickname of Charles “the Hammer” for crushing his enemies and both he and Odo, who had won the first great victory and served at Tours, would be considered heroes of Christianity killing off the beast of hordes of Muslims as they tried to invade Europe.

Forty World Leaders Will Meet in the Jewish State of Israel This Week, Thursday, January 23, 2020, For the Fifth "World Holocaust Forum"
1-21-20, Is a world shattering event going to happen in Jerusalem this week? Former pastor and Bible scholar, Brother Francis Riley in Missouri is concerned; he advised me that there may be a parallel between this week's event in Jerusalem and Psalm 48:1-8:
"The joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled and hasted away. Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah."
As the world reels in various woes ... we need to especially pray for President Trump as Iran has just put a bounty on his head; see below.

Prophet Joel report from God quoted by Apostle Peter: "It shall come to pass in the last days I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on My servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, fire and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

The blame actually may be caused by humans - wicked sinful humans who are bringing the wrath of God! In Revelation 6:12, 8:7 and other passages we read of coming hail and fire; sounds like volcanic lava rock to me or maybe comets & meteors?? God uses His own creation of eclipses, earthquakes and storms to accomplish His end time scenario. Are we in it?

CURRENT DISASTERS IN AUSTRALIA
1-20-20, NBC -- On Sunday, 1-19-20 huge dust storms swept through central New South Wales Australia followed by a damaging hailstorm in the Australian capital. The sky was pitch black at 5 pm in the afternoon. Australia’s fatal summer of fire became one of icy demolition, as severe weather swept across the eastern states. Canberra, Melbourne and other places were hit by golf ball sized hail destroying dozens of cars windshields. The hailstorm came less than 24 hours after massive dust storms swept through New South Wales late Sunday afternoon, blanketing entire towns and blacking out the sun.
According to the Australia Bureau of Meteorology, apparently the dust storms were caused by ferocious winds measuring up to 59 - 66.5 mph. The state has been suffering from drought for several years. Although the rain was a relief for firefighters battling the worst blazes the country has seen in decades; it wasn't enough to put out the fires. Many misguided experts blame climate change for Australia's fires and weather woes. See NBC video here, More here from MSNBC , More here from Telegraph

The hailstorm came less than 24 hours after massive dust storms swept through New South Wales late Sunday afternoon, blanketing entire towns and blacking out the sun.
According to the Australia Bureau of Meteorology, apparently the dust storms were caused by ferocious winds measuring up to 59 - 66.5 mph. The state has been suffering from drought for several years. Although the rain was a relief for firefighters battling the worst blazes the country has seen in decades; it wasn't enough to put out the fires. Many misguided experts blame climate change for Australia's fires and weather woes. See NBC video here, More here from MSNBC , More here from Telegraph
Is the “darkened sun” (Acts 2:20) prophesy of the end times?
Most notable warnings in scripture are of the end times before the Lord Jesus returns. Linked to the coming disasters on unbelieving mankind and the complete fulfillment of the Lord's coming are the world's woes [Revelation 8:13]. God loves us so He warns us. Jesus said, if you love Me obey Me. If you wonder if you are a true born again [John 3:3 ,7] child of the Lord; just look at yourself ... do you obey Him? John 14:15; Acts 2:19-21; Revelation 6:12
