Turkey Op-Ed: How Erdogan is Crushing Civil Society |
Hamas kill baby and pregnant Palestinian, blame Israel 5-6-19, The Gaza News Agency that shared this Tweet is no friend of Israel, but it does correctly apportion blame on a the Islamic terror group in Gaza Hamas' rocket that fell short of killing an Israeli baby and killed a Palestinian mother & baby attempted to blame the Israelis when they retaliated. | The Crisis of Christian Persecution 5-6-19, Even Newsweek magazine (no friend of Christianity), in a January 2019 article, admitted that “Christian persecution and genocide is worse now than in any time in history.” The media and many politicians seek to downplay the reality of Christian persecution; with little reporting in the west. |

In 1947, she married Prince Philip [they are currently still married Philip is 97], Duke of Edinburgh, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she has four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
When her father died in February 1952, at age 26 she became head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. She has reigned as a constitutional monarch through major political changes, such as devolution in the United Kingdom, Canadian patriation, and the decolonisation of Africa. Between 1956 and 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and realms, including South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon (renamed Sri Lanka), became republics. Her many historic visits and meetings include a state visit to the Republic of Ireland and visits to or from five popes.

ISRAEL’S DIVINE RIGHT TO THE LAND
God told Abram, “ I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
6-3-19, Not only does God's word describe how the covenant lands of Israel belong to the descendants of Abraham through Sarah's son Isaac; he sent away all his sons by Keturah & concubines: Genesis 25:5-6 "Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country."
As the nations perpetually attempt to bring peace between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael; questions are asked as follows:
- What does the Bible say about God’s parcel of land and who has a right to it?
- Who has the ultimate authority to determine rights concerning this special piece of real estate?
- The Land of Canaan, renamed Israel by the Lord, was given by God to Abraham and his descendants as an everlasting possession. Genesis 12:7 “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will give this land.'” Genesis 13:15, He repeated His promise when He said, “for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.” Also in Genesis 15:18, “To your descendants I have given this land.”
- The gift of this Land to Abraham and his descendants was based on an unconditional covenant from God Himself. Genesis 17:7-8 There are some who say that this covenant was conditional, that it was based on Israel’s faithfulness to God; the Bible teaches otherwise: Psalm 89:30-37; Jeremiah 31:35-36 The promise of the land was not based upon Israel’s performance, but upon God’s oath and character — God cannot lie.
- This land was not given to the descendants of Ishmael (one ancestor of the Arab peoples), but rather to the descendants of Isaac. Genesis 17:19 God told Abram, " Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.” Clearly the bloodline of the covenant promise concerning the Land would go through Isaac, not Ishmael: “…In Isaac your descendants shall be called” (Hebrews 11:18).
- This Land and covenant were given only to Isaac’s son, Jacob and his descendants, not Esau and his descendants. Jacob received the birthright from his father, Isaac. The Lord God revealed to Jacob His message about this land. Genesis 28:13-15
- God told Israel to conquer the Land which He had given to them. Deuteronomy 1:8 God told Joshua, “you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan river into the land I am about to give to them — to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses." (Joshua 1:2-4,6)
- In Leviticus 26:40-45, we read that God would punish Israel for its disobedience and send them into captivity. But, according to verses Leviticus 26:44-45, God will bring them back. Deuteronomy 30:3-5, God promises: “Then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you." (Amos 9:15).
- The name of this Land is not Palestine, but Israel. Ezekiel spoke of dry bones coming to life. Never before in history has a nation been destroyed and scattered all over the world, and then been brought back to life. Ezekiel 37:11-12 The name, Palestine, was a regional name that was imposed on the area by the Roman Emperor, Hadrian, who suppressed the Second Jewish Revolt in AD 135. He was so angry with the Jews that he wanted to humiliate them and emphasize that the Jewish nation had lost its right to a homeland under Roman rule. The name Palaestina was originally an adjective derived from Philistia [1 Samuel 7:8], the arch-enemies [Philistines] of the Israelites 1000 years earlier. “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:24). In 1967 Jerusalem was controlled again by the Jewish people, which is one sign that Messiah is soon to return. Daniel 12:1-13
- Isaiah 61:4,5 “They (God’s covenant people) will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated: they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. The stranger will shepherd your flock; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.”
When the Jews began to return from the nations of the world at the end of the last century, the land was barren and sparsely inhabited. In the 1860s, the author, Mark Twain, traveled in what was then a backward region of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, called Palestine and described the land:
"It is a hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land.” This description matches the Ezekiel’s prophecy of the “barren mountains of Israel” Ezekiel 36:1-7, 8-12
Truly, the return of the Jews from over 100 nations of the world is a modern-day miracle. Large waves of immigrants began to come back to their promised land in the 1880s. Since those early days, the deserts have been reforested, the rocky fields made fertile, the swamps drained and planted, the ancient terraces rebuilt, and the ruined cities of old re-established. Israel is now a nation of over six million people that is a food exporting nation that boasts high levels of literacy, health, education and welfare, high technology and agricultural development.
Psalm 102:13 “You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.” This is that day.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, ‘May peace be within you.’ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.”
Psalm 122:6-9

Polarization in the World
"Of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
6-2-19, John Haller -- Abortion in America; flooding; tornadoes; immigration horrors; Middle East turmoil and more. At every level of society, both in America and worldwide, people are becoming polarized. In one sense, it may be a good thing in that even Jesus Himself warns against being "lukewarm." [Revelation 3:16; Jeremiah 30:6-7; Matthew 21:43-44] However, when sides are chosen, conflicts are sure to ensue.
We look at the many issues which find people having to choose sides, including the question of abortion rights (and the very revealing and eloquent commentary by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas) plus the heightening tensions in the Middle East; Jerusalem a burdensome stone [Zechariah 12:1].
We are either with Jesus or against Him.

6-2-19, Today is a special day of prayer for President, Donald J. Trump. Our nation is in trouble and the President needs God’s wisdom and guidance as he leads and makes decisions that impact all of our lives. As you gather in church, Sunday school, small group, as a family, or even pray alone, remember this one truth:
“The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”
(James 5:16)
Thank you for praying.
May God richly bless you.
Sincerely,

HOLY HILLS OF HEAVEN CALL ME
The holy hills of Heaven call me
To mansions bright across the sea
Where loved ones wait and crowns are given
When the hills of home keep calling me
This house of flesh is but a prison
Bars of bone hold my soul
But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open
When the angel sets my spirit free.
I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle
When the hills of home start calling me
I see loved ones over yonder
Tears are gone and hearts are free.
And from the throne king Jesus beckons
Oh the hills of home are calling me.
This house of flesh is but a prison
Bars of bone hold my soul
But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open
When the angel sets my spirit free.
I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle
When the hills of home start calling me!
The Electoral College is one of those checks and balances that helps keep our Republic healthy protecting the less populated middle America states’ votes. If the ‘popular vote’ was all that was needed only California and New York need vote. The Democrat super delegates began in the 1980s to nudge along a nominee in the primary process who would be well equipped to win during the general election avoiding an unknown who would surely loose. [Didn’t work for Mrs Clinton though.] In 2016 there were appx 500 Dem super delegates; they are not bound to follow the will of the voters, nor are they required to stay true to the candidate they've pledged to support. Examples of super delegates: major elected official, including senators, members of the House, governors, leaders from each state's Democrat Party - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden are super delegates, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
6-2-19, Newsmax· Chief of Staff Mulvaney said that Pres Trump is “deadly serious” about raising tariffs on Mexico to force a crackdown on illegal migrants flooding into the USA ... in the last 24 hours the Mexican president has already reached out and said he thinks they can do better, he thinks they will do better. Mexico has tremendously strong immigration laws, much stronger than ours. They have the ability to do things that we cannot. The US would impose the 5% tariff from June 10, 2019 and rise steadily to 25% until illegal immigration across the southern border was stopped.

5-13-18, Pennsylvania state Rep. Rick Saccone accused the Democratic Party of being energized by hatred: “I’ve talked to so many of these on the left and they have a hatred for our president. And I tell you, many of them have a hatred for our country. My wife and I saw it again today: They have a hatred for God. It’s amazing. It’s disturbing to me.”
5-22-19, The abortion debate in America has been dominated by news that conservative lawmakers in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio and Missouri approved sweeping new restrictions to abortion. Yet "late-term abortions" are now legal in New York [and other states] where Gov. Andrew Cuomo - to a ghoulish cheering crowd - signed a new law legalizing killing an unborn child after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
In Nevada, legislation passed removing a series of guidelines where the state Assembly will overturn decades-old policies:
- requiring physicians to determine a woman’s age and marital status prior to performing an abortion.
- Supplying medication to induce an abortion without prior advice from a doctor
- No long required that women be told about “physical and emotional implications” that could possibly result from having an abortion More here
