Israel, Lebanon, Syria & Iran Skirmishes

Lebanon vs Israel
Reportedly Islamic Terror Group, Hezbollah Repelled Israeli Missile

2-4-21, TV7IsraelNews -- State media, SANA news agency, in Syria reported that Air defenses deployed by the Syrian Armed Forces “Repelled Israeli missile aggression from the direction of the Golan Heights, shooting down most of the hostile missiles with air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles against some targets” of Hezbollah terror group, who are based in Lebanon, but fighting in Syria on behalf of the Assad regime. Lebanese security sources said the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was not hit, evading the attack and returned safely across the border to Israel.

Israeli military officials reported that had their UAV been hit, the IDF would have retaliated against the Iranian-proxy, Hezbollah in Lebanon; it did not.

Lebanon‘s government regularly files false complaints to the United Nations against Israeli violation of its airspace. Israel is alleged to launch frequent attacks against Iranian troops and its proxy militias in Lebanon and Syria, to prevent the Islamic Republic from permanently entrenching itself just over Israel’s northern frontier. Israeli political and military leaders occasionally assume full credit for attacks on terrorist bases or weapons shipments from Iran to its allies in the region. More here

Israel: China Over USA??

Haifa, Israel:
US Navy May Stop Docking After Chinese Take Over Port

Israel begins pivot towards China! denies US Navy access

2-4-21, HalTurner -- When Obama was the occupant of the White House in 2015 the Shanghai Intl Port Group Co. (SIPG) signed a deal with Israel’s Transportation Ministry to run Haifa’s commercial port.

The Trump Admin in 2018 objected as ships from the US Navy’s 6th Fleet frequent an adjacent Israeli navy base. The base at Haifa reportedly houses Israeli nuclear weapons-capable submarines.

In 2020 Israel's government declined a request by the Trump administration to allow the US Coast Guard to inspect the port at Haifa for Chinese surveillance capabilities. US officials are concerned that the company could enable Beijing to spy on the US Navy and its activities with Israel’s forces. The US government has accused Chinese companies of theft of American companies' trade secrets and of collaboration with the People's Liberation Army.

Israel Rejects US Plan To Inspect Chinese Harbor At Haifa
2-3-21, China will operate Haifa port, near Israel's alleged nuclear-armed submarines. At the end of August 2020, the center held a conference ... Israeli officials declined to comment on the issue that was first reported by the Israeli daily newspaper, Haaretz.
After Israel's March 2021 elections the new government must deal with the problem that's currently been avoided.

However, the U.S issued a strict warning to Israel to limit ties with China. Two weeks after US Sec of State Mike Pompeo met with Netanyahu and warned against Chinese involvement in Israeli projects, the Chinese company lost the bid. The winner of the tender is the Israeli IDE.

This warning resulted in an Israeli rejection of a Chinese proposls to build the giant Desalination Water Plant, in Palmachim in central Israel. The site is in close proximity to an important Israeli missile test and satellite launch facility. More here

Those who decide on carrying them out, of course, are the political leaders. But these plans have to be on the table.” He added that given the nuclear threat now posed by the Iranian regime, Israel’s military needs to stand prepared to strike as needed.

1-27-21, SputnikNews -- It won't happen overnight and will require consultations with Israel and Gulf states as states by Sec of State Tony Blinken. Former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the Obama 2015 multilateral agreement in May 2018, prompting the Islamic Republic of Iran to gradually roll back its commitments on uranium enrichment since 2019.

~ JERUSALEM ~
Capitol Jewish State of Israel
"Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, the mountain of the Lord of hosts; the holy mountain. v9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."

Zechariah 8:3, 12:9

5-22-17, Arutz Sheva -- At the opening ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of the liberation and unification of Jerusalem, held at the foot of the Tower of David in the Old City - Prime Minister Netanyahu said:

"The Temple Mount and the Western Wall will always remain under Israeli sovereignty. It is not our adherence to Jerusalem that demands an explanation, but rather the disgraceful attempt to expropriate our ties to Jerusalem and our sovereignty in Jerusalem. Where were UNESCO and its ilk, when for 19 years we were deprived of our right of free access to the holy sites of our people? Why were their voices not heard when all traces of Jewish existence in eastern Jerusalem were shattered?

"Well, in the face of this hypocrisy, which, unfortunately, has reached delusional heights, we will continue to insist with all our strength on the truth: Jerusalem has always been the national capitol of the Jewish people alone and not of any other people.” -- Israel Natl News here

God said: "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch." Isaiah 62:1; Psalm 122:3, 125:2; 1 Kings 11:36-37

NY Gov Allows Muslim Gathering

10/13/2020

NY Governor Permits Muslims To Gather But Not Jews & Christians
Apparently Like Black Lives Matter & Antifa Mobs; Muslim Mobs Don't Spread Covid Virus??
Unlike Christian's Easter Event and Orthodox Jewish prayers of Sukkot celebrations, these Shiite Muslim gatherings were not written up by the New York Post, the New York Daily News, or the New York Times as a public threat. Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio did not blame Muslims for the spread of the virus or declare a crackdown that would close mosques.

10-13-20, FrontPage -- In early October 2020, videos show huge gatherings of Muslim men packed closely together in circles, not wearing masks or with masks down & chanting in an annual Islamic event. The Shiite Muslims marched down Flushing’s Main Street, past rows of Chinese stores without a police officer in sight. It wasn't the only Muslim gathering permitted - also in New Jersey and Manhattan’s Park Avenue in August 2020, where few of the participants wore Covid masks and another in Kensington, Brooklyn around the same time.

New York Gov Cuomo Threatens to Close Jewish Synagogues'
10-5-20, Breitbart -- Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has threatened Jews to close their synagogues if they did not obey his Covid mask and social distancing rules for the stated reason to prevent the spread of coronavirus. He said: "I have to say to the Orthodox community tomorrow, 'If you're not willing to live with these rules, then I will close the synagogues!"

States are restricting Easter gatherings amid COVID-19 Virus Scare
4-11-20, USAToday -- As people across the nation observe religious Passover and Easter [Jewish & Christian holidays] many states are cracking down on the Christian gatherings to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. However, Muslims are permitted their Ramadan events in New York. CNN reported that New York City distributed 500,000 free Islamic meals to Muslims during Ramadan while Christians & Jews were barred from their celebrations.

Systemic racism is a lie.
Systemic antisemitism is real.
Just ask Cuomo.

Islamic Nation of Turkey Claims Jerusalem?

10/8/2020

Turkish President Erdogan Declares: ‘Jerusalem Has Been Our City For Thousands of Years’ [He’s in desperate need of a history lesson.]

10-8-20, Hugh Fitzgerald* -- On Oct 1, 2020 Turkey’s President Erdogan declared that “Jerusalem Has Been Our City for Thousands of Years.” The “our” in “our city” seemed to refer now to the Turks and to the so called Muslims in Israel calling themselves “Palestinians.” He implied that Israel’s capitol of Jerusalem belongs to Turkey, referring to the Ottoman Empire’s control over the city during 1516 AD to 1917 AD when the Turks ruled over Muslim Arabs, Jews and also Christians.

If that’s the criteria of ownership; then what about Constantinople [now called Istanbul in Turkey] for more than a thousand years it was the richest and most important city in Christendom until conquered by Muslims in 1453 AD?

For the last 3,500 years the Jewish people have continuously lived in Jerusalem. Annually archaeological evidence of their presence has been found at thousands of sites – ancient synagogues, homes, tombstones, wine-presses, oil lamps, pottery – much of it with Hebrew inscriptions. =>

<= Apparently these historical facts mean nothing to President Erdogan. In 629 AD when Muhammad replaced Jerusalem with Mecca [1], Jews had already been living in Jerusalem for more than 2,000 years. It was the Jews not the Ottoman’s Suleiman the Magnificent or any Turkish ruler who built or established:

much of the Old City, including the Jewish Quarter with its 37 synagogues, all but two of which were dynamited by the Jordanians between 1949 and 1967
the First or Second Temples, including the Western Wall that is all that remains of the latter
the venerable Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives that is 3,000 years old where 150,000 Jewish graves reside.

However, Suleiman did in 1535 to 1542 build the current walls of the Old City and many of its gates, but what is within those walls was built by Jews [some by Turks] – cisterns, aqueducts, mikvahs. Also Christians, in 335 AD built important Jerusalem sites: the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Tomb of the Virgin Mary, the Cenacle and many other buildings.

IF the Muslims have been living in Jerusalem “for thousands of years,” as Erdogan claims - when Islam only began in Mecca with Muhammad about 610 A.D., and his new faith preaching began in 613 A.D. – will he inform us:

what language they spoke
explain the absence of historical evidence of their existence before Muhammad
why isn’t Jerusalem mentioned even once in their book the Koran
why are the “Palestinian people” nowhere mentioned by any of the Muslim chroniclers and travelers
why do we find no mention of them in the extensive state records of the Ottoman rulers and administrators of the Empire who held Jerusalem from 1516 to 1917 [..]

Conclusion:

In March 1977 one so called ‘Palestinian’ leader, Zuheir Mohsen in an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw Zuheir Mohsen said:

“The Palestinian people were [are] a fake people, created only out of propaganda and the excuse to war against Israel and the Jewish people. Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of ONE people, the Arab nation.”

9-17-20, * -- On August 13, 2020 the US administration presented to the world the Abraham Accord peace agreement, signed by Israel and the Islamic nation of United Arab Emirates. The unexpected announcement marked a significant shift towards the normalization of diplomatic ties in the Middle East. A month later, on September 15, 2020 the Islamic nation of Bahrain became the second Muslim nation to make peace with Israel; reportedly many more to follow.

9-15-20, TimesofIsrael -- First adopted by the Arab League in 2002, the Arab Peace Initiative promises Israel full diplomatic relations with the entire Muslim world. UAE says normalization treaty will reference two-state solution with the Muslims in Israel aka 'Palestinians.' Anwar Gargash, UAE’s minister of state for foreign affairs, indicates that the Israel-UAE peace agreement will mention the two-state solution only indirectly. In a press briefing, he says that the treaty “does reference two states through references to previous agreements signed.”

Scripture for Today, 8-30-20: Well Doing

8/30/2020

"Mything" the Point
The Apostle Paul said: "I charge thee therefore the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."

8-30-20, This week Brother John Haller reports on world affairs paralleling them to Bible Prophecy as we get closer and closer to the Lord Jesus' return and rapture of His Church. Lebanon, Turkey, Iran and Israel - Turkey vs Greece territorial skirmishes increase ... Turkey is the 'goat' of Daniel 8:5-11.

Unabated anarchy is rampaging throughout the USA with arson, looting, American hating groups of Black Lives Matter, Antifa in Soros-backed Democrat run states whose district attorneys are soft on crime. Yet those states' mayors and governors are hard on the religious. The ignorant uninformed masses are oblivious to the more sinister agenda that underlies it all.

Too many are now "Mything the Point" of all of the disruptions to their lives, their communities, their families and their relationships. Most of all, they are ignorant of the erosion of their basic rights as free men and women, endowed by their Creator to pursue happiness and purpose.

I hear Christians say "I'm so sick of it all ... I'm not even gonna vote!'

We must not succumb to weariness and allow the wicked to push us into depression and apathy. We must be the Light Jesus directed us to be.

If we don't work trying to return the USA to the once God loving and fearing that made her great - who will?

The upcoming Nov 3, 2020 presidential election is clearly setup to be fraudulent. The only way to avoid a swift and deep dive into Marxism is an overwhelming appearance at the polls - do not mail your ballot - hand carry it to be sure it's counted.

And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Scripture for Today, 8-26-20: Bethsaida Found

8/26/2020

Biblical Village of Bethsaida: Discovered By Archaeologists
The Lord Jesus … “ took them privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people."

Luke 9:10, 16–17, 10:13-14

8-26-20, DailyMail – For thirty-two years archaeologists have been working to find the city considered lost - Bethsaida. Although there are naysayers, Professor Rami Arav of the University of Nebraska says he has no doubt that Et-Tell, in the Golan Heights near the Jordan River estuary is the location of the biblical village. At Et-Tell the research team studying the location discovered a temple that was dedicated to Julia, Augustus' wife.

Bethsaida was cursed to destruction [Luke 10:13] by the Lord Jesus because residents failed to repent in spite of His miracles. Today the discovery of the ruins - that is only a mile - from the Sea of Galilee has been proven to exist; Bible says:

home to disciples Peter, Andrew and Philip John 1:44
Bethsaida, Chorazin and Capernaum are the only cities that Jesus cursed Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13
where Jesus performed many miracles:
1. fed the 5,000 Luke 9:16-17
2. walked on water Mark 6:45
3. restored vision to a blind man Mark 8:22

Archaeologist Professor Rami Arav reports that ancient sources place several requirements for the identification of Bethsaida. Prof Arav is convinced not only him, but a group of experts agree; including the Roman historian, Titus Flavius Josephus, who describes the location of Bethsaida in his writings.

Dr Arav said: “Josephus says that the town was in the 'lower Golan' near the estuary of the Jordan River. The same location as the El-Tell dig site. ”

Dr Arav believes the name of the city holds another clue. Bethsaida translates as 'house of fishing/hunting.' He contends that the ruins at Et-Tell were once known as Zer, which could also be transcribed as 'Tzed', a Hebrew word that means both hunting and fishing. The researchers also discovered ancient fishing equipment among the ruins of the settlement.

Jesus cursed the village, warning it faced worse treatment than Sodom – a city destroyed by God in the Old Testament. 'So in the 4th century it was abandoned and, without maintenance, the buildings collapsed.' Source

8-17-20, From Israel Bible end time reporter, Jewish Christian Amir Tsarfati reports on the Israel & UAE recent agreement and the trickle down affect it'll have on the Middle East. One important effect is that Saudi Arabia has opened its airspace to the two nations.

PAST HISTORY: Airspace to Israel has been Blocked for Decades by These Islamic Nations - As of 2018 the following nations block Israel travel to and from: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, UAE, Yemen. These countries do not officially recognize Israel and prohibit the Jewish nation from using their airspace [more here].

Another fact that more of the gulf nations may also do similar agreements with Israel before November 3, 2020 and the USA presidential election. The apparent purpose is to support Pres Trump's re-election as they hated it when the Democrats and Obama were in the White House making deals with the dreaded Iranians.

Amir enumerates all the reasons why President Trump is best US friend Israel has ever had. He explains why the Jewish State delays the annexation of Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank] until after the US election and much more ...

Sacrifices Israel has made for peace; but God's word says there'll be no peace Jeremiah 6:14 and that the land should not be divided; yet they did over and over and may again?? Joel 3:2

8-17-20, ArutzSheva -- Jared Kushner, adviser and son-in-law to US Pres Trump addressing the Jewish State Israel peace agreement. He recently helped broker between Israel and the United Arab Emirates [UAE] and said:

"Israel has made a very generous proposal for the establishment of a Palestinian state, including an exchange of territories. The understanding that this is the situation has enabled the breakthrough that led to the current agreement. The president laid out his vision for peace in January this year ... and this is the first map ever agreed to by one of the parties publicly put out in a peace negotiation. We got Israel to agree to negotiate on the basis of the process of division, they agreed to the map and agreed to move forward on a Palestinian state. This was a major breakthrough that changed the view of a lot of people in the region about Israel's seriousness to actually make concessions to resolve this longstanding conflict. [..]

When asked how the US would make certain that Israel does not unilaterally annex any territory he said: "We built a very trusting relationship with Israel. President Trump is committed to holding them accountable to it, and Israel has agreed with us that they will not move forward without our consent. We do not plan to give our consent for some time, as of right now the focus has to be on getting this new peace agreement implemented. We really want to get as much interchange between Israel and the United Arab Emirates as possible, and we really want Israel to focus on creating new relationships and new alliances.
"That land is land that right now that Israel, quite frankly controls. It’s Israelis who are living there; it’s not going anywhere. There shouldn’t be any urgency to apply Israeli law. So we believe that they will stick to their agreement.” Source: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/285415

While there are numerous worldwide events that have occurred during the past week that have prophetic significance, this one stands out from the confusion. The potential that the agreement between the UAE and Israel may be the modern "Archduke of Ferdinand" moment that could trigger a series of clashes predicted in Scripture between Israel and her very few allies.

Israel & UAE Make Deal - Iran Fumes

8/13/2020

Israel & United Arab Emirates [UAE] Peace Deal - Israel’s Judea & Samaria [West Bank] Annexations On Hold
Officials from the three countries called the accord “historic breakthrough toward peace.”

8-13-20, Reuters, Dubai - Jerusalem - Washington -- On August 13, 2020 Israel and the United Arab Emirates [UAE] announced that they will normalize diplomatic ties and forge a broad new relationship, which U.S. President Donald Trump helped broker. A move that reshapes the order of Middle East politics from the Palestinian issue to the fight against Iran.

Over the past two decades, the United Arab Emirates with an area of appx 32,000 sq miles and a population of less than 10 million [but the Arab world’s second-largest economy thanks to oil] has exerted growing commercial and military clout in the Gulf and the wider region; much of it aimed at confronting Islamist militants and the influence of Iran.

Israel population is approximately 9 million with a land mass of appx 8,000 sq miles. Israel and the UAE are expected to soon exchange ambassadors and embassies. A signing ceremony is due to be held at the White House.

Under the new ABRAHAM ACCORD, the Jewish nation of Israel [the only non Muslim nation in the Middle East] agreed to suspend its planned annexation of areas of Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank].

It also firms up opposition to regional power Iran, which the UAE, Israel and the United States view as the main threat in the conflict-driven Middle East.

In 1979 Israel signed peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan in 1994. However, the UAE, along with most other Arab Islamic nations, did not recognize Israel and had no formal diplomatic or economic relations with it until now.

It becomes the first Gulf Arab country to reach such a deal with the Jewish state.

Some Muslims in Israel [aka Palestinian] denounced it as a “stab in the back” to their cause.

The agreement gives President Trump another foreign policy accomplishment with similar deals being discussed with other Islamic nations.

In a televised address Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would lead to “full and formal peace with the UAE hope that other countries in the region would follow its example.”
Senior UAE official Anwar Gargash said the deal had helped defuse what he called a ticking time-bomb urging the Israelis and Palestinians to return to the negotiating table.
President Trump’s special envoy Brian Hook called the agreement a “nightmare” for Iran.
An Iranian official, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a tweet: “Abu Dhabi’s behavior has no justification, turning back on the Palestine cause. W/ that strategic mistake, #UAE will be engulfed in Zionism fire.”
President Trump said, “Everybody said this would be impossible. Now that the ice has been broken, I expect more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates’ lead.”

Scripture for Today, 8-4-20: God Protects Israel

8/4/2020

God Protects Jewish State of Israel
God’s Promises and Historic Examples of Actual Events
God said: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses (despises, dishonors, treats with contempt) you. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you. Those who strive with you (Israel) shall perish. Whoever assails you will fall … no weapon that is formed against you will prosper. I will be a wall of fire around her … he who touches you, touches the apple (pupil) of the LORD’s eye.”

Genesis 12:3; Isaiah 41:10-11, 54:15, 17; Zechariah 2:5, 8

8-4-20, We know that almighty God protects the Jewish state of Israel because of His promises and actual historical events as follows:

After Pharaoh freed the Hebrew slaves; the Egyptian army pursued the Israelites during the Exodus, God slowed them by removing their chariot wheels, and drowned them as the parted waters flooded over them [Exod 14.19-31]
In the fifth century BC a number of Jews were still in Babylon under Persian [modern day Iran] rule. God sent a dream to the king and used a brave Jewess, Queen Esther, to prevent the killing of Jews [Esther 6:1-14, 7:1-10]
During a war with the Israelite armies led by Joshua at Jericho … God made the sun stand still [Joshua 10.1-15]
In 1948-49: When the Jewish State was re-born in May 1948, five Arab armies (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq) invaded Israel -and with the intervention of God - suffered a humiliating defeat.
In 1967: In the Six-Day War the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon (and later Iraq) again attacked Israel. Their goal was [then as now] “to wipe Israel off the map”. The Arab armies had huge superiority in armor, aircraft and troops. However, because Israel launched a preemptive strike aimed at destroying the Arab air forces on the ground their airforce-->

<-- was useless. After the war Israel held the Sinai, the Golan Heights, Gaza, the West Bank and, for the first time in 2,500 years, all of Jerusalem [but permitted the Muslims to keep control of Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock].
In 1973: Egyptian and Syrian forces launched against Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. With the element of surprise to their advantage, Egyptian forces successfully crossed the Suez Canal. Despite the surprise and consequent heavy losses, Israel, with urgent help from US President Richard Nixon [Nixon's mother once told him he'd come to the rescue of Israel] once again defeated the attack.
In December 2016 a strange storm cloud (dust and rain) put a barrier between Israel and the Islamic terror group ISIS. The storm stopped on the border of Syria and was ‘unable’ to enter Israel’s Golan Heights area blocking the Isis attack.

Clearly the facts & events that led to the establishment and continued survival of the Jewish state point to a miraculous existence. Could the current explosion in Lebanon of Iran’s warehouse of missiles be another miracle of God? [Psalm 17:8; Jeremiah 12:14; Proverbs 7:2] And the future war described in scripture: God said, “I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains, says the Lord God. Every man’s sword will be against his brother … I will rain down on his troops flooding rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone." Ezekiel 38.21-22

Muslims in Israel Teach Children to Hate Jews

7/23/2020

Israel's Muslim Children Are Indoctrinated in Hate:
Islamic [aka Palestinian] Schools Are Typical Muslim Schools
No Israeli “oppression” is needed to explain the hate of Muslims in Jewish State

7-23-20, * -- Indoctrinating Muslim [aka Palestinian] schoolchildren to hate and oppose the existence of the Jewish state of Israel; after examining appx 400 textbooks and teachers’ guides a recently study [1] shows there are three aspects to this hate filled education: Islamic traditional ideals of Jihad [war] and martyrdom are exalted and given a special role in the liberation struggle.

De-legitimization of the State of Israel’s existence and the very presence of Jews in the Land of Israel, including the denial of the existence of Jewish holy places in the Land of Israel
Demonization of Israel and the Jews: “The Zionist enemy,[”] according to the description appearing in the schoolbooks, is wholly evil and constitutes an existential threat to the Palestinians who are depicted as the ultimate victim, with no shared responsibility for the conflict
Education for a violent struggle for the liberation of the Land of Israel (Palestine) with no education for peace and co-existence. In none of the PA’s schoolbooks has any call for the resolution of the conflict peacefully, or any mentioning of co-existence with Israel been found. Jews are demonized as well in the religious context, outside the context of the conflict. They are depicted as a corrupted nation from its very beginning and as enemies of Islam since its early days.

Citing the Islamic book "Koran" and other Islamic writings, Islamic textbooks teach that “The corruption of the Children of Israel on earth was and will be the reason of their destruction”; and, though allied to them, Muhammad “was aware of the Jews’ deceitfulness and conspiracies.”

While indoctrinating the Muslim schoolchildren in 'Palestinian' schools to hate Jews may seem specific to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—that is, may appear to be a product of politics and grievances—it is, in fact, part of a broader trend: school textbooks in a variety of other Muslim nations also teach hate for the “other”—even those who, far from being in a position to “oppress” Muslims are actually being oppressed by them. [..] Schools in Pakistan also continue to “teach their children to hate Christians and other religious minorities.”

Instead of minimizing hate materials and discouraging religious extremism [as in 2014 Muslim government had vowed to do after Islamic terror attack on a school killed 132 students], the opposite seems to be occurring with a growing trend toward a more biased curriculum and more religious extremism being taught in Pakistan’s public schools.

Pakistan Muslims: Speaking in 2019, a Pakistani Christian leader said that religious “minorities are considered infidels and they are depicted negatively in textbooks, which promote prejudices against minorities.” Because of this: Many minorities give their children Islamic names so they will not be singled out as Christians and become potential targets for discrimination in schools.

Turkey Muslims: Turkey demonizes non-Muslims - According to a Christian convert, who now lives in the U.S. “An anti-Christian attitude is a big part of the national identity [in Turkey], so anyone or anything that promotes Christianity is automatically suspicious.”

Iran Muslims: In Dec 2019 Iran unleashed sweeping crackdown on Christians, particularly those who have dared to convert from Islam to Christianity. Christians are being arrested and jailed on false charges, such as "promoting Zionism", "spreading corrupt Christians beliefs." One charge: "acting against national security" -- is often used "to prosecute Christians for their house church activities." More here

If Palestinian schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to hate Israel and Jews for “stealing their land” and generally oppressing them, what explains the fact that other children all throughout the Islamic world are also being indoctrinated to hate other non-Muslims, particularly disenfranchised Christian minorities who, far from “lording” over Muslims, are currently being persecuted by them?

The answer: Islam’s ingrained sense of supremacism and hate for non Muslims they call 'infidels' should be self-evident.

Iran War How Will It Unfold?

7/17/2020

In 2008 Lord Stirling of Indiana USA Reports on Potential Event:
Iran War ... Jump forward to 2020 ... Iran has mysterious fires & explosions - sabotage suggested

9-6-2008, Alexander, Earl of Stirling, Indiana* – I have served as a consultant to three very high tech aerospace firms; specializing in advanced warfare especially as it relates to advanced weapon systems. I have been involved in advanced theoretical weaponry strategy and design for over 20 years and what I see unfolding with a war on Iran is the most frightening set of circumstances I have ever seen.

Sometime in the future there will be a war launched against Iran. The war may be started by Israel, or by the United States, or by a NATO/EU/US embargo, or by some 'false flag' attack. What matters is that it will begin. Regardless if the war begins with a limited number of air strikes against Iranian military and nuclear targets, or if an all-out several thousand target attack begins ... from day one the probabilities of the war becoming a major regional war within 48 hours are 90% or higher. The Iranians will simply not allow Israeli and/or American military forces to attack its territory without a major response.

Any significant counter-attack on Israel and/or American regional bases will trigger a much greater counter-response. The Iranians have equipped, paid for, and trained a massive unguided rocket and missile force in Lebanon. [..] The Islamic terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon is known to possess a considerable number of more advanced and longer range missiles. [..]

It now [2008] appears that Israel has given up on the idea of a ground assault to remove the many rocket and missile launchers in Lebanon. [..] Israel will face:

massive number of rockets and missiles from Lebanon with radiological, chemical, biological and FAE weapons of mass destruction warheads.
a sizable number of such weapons/warheads will be fired from Gaza and the West Bank
the Syrians will shower WMD with larger more accurate guided missiles
the Iranians will also launch weapons

The Israeli response will be nuclear annihilation of Syria, Iran, and parts of Lebanon with many tens of millions killed. Expect to see every city of any size destroyed. There will be insufficient people left in Syria, Iran and large parts of Lebanon to even bury the dead. Radiation will spread around the world from the nuclear bombs. [..]

The after effect of all of this may well lead to even more war as the non-neo-con nations will be so incensed at the massive lost of life that total global war may be unstoppable. – Stirling

President Trump Said He's Instructed the US Navy to 'destroy' any Iranian Gunboats ...
4-22-20, FoxNews -- President Trump said Iran is planning a 'sneak attack' on U.S. troops or assets in Iraq. "I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea." Such an encounter previously occurred on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 when six U.S. Navy warships were conducting drills with US Army. Apache attack helicopters - in international waters off Iran - were repeatedly harassed by 11 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy vessels a 5th Fleet statement said. [Note: nine weeks later appx June 26, 2020 fires & explosions mysteriously began in Iran.]

Ships burn as fire hits Iranian port near nuclear power ...
7-15-20, DailyMail -- Massive blaze rips through Iranian port near nuclear power station as seven ships burn - after a series of mysterious explosions around the country beginning on June 26, 2020 at Parchin military facility: [More from Newsweek]

Men desperately tried to put out the flames in footage at the port of Bushehr Nuclear Plant
Incident is unfolding 12 miles away from Iran’s only nuclear power station
Plant was developed by Russia and Iran as part of a joint nuclear cooperation

Iran's Bushehr Port Fire Sets 7 Ships Ablaze After String of Explosions:

On June 26, 2020 a large blast was felt in Tehran that occurred at the Parchin military facility, according to The Times of Israel. Iranian authorities said the incident at the military facility was caused by a leak in a gas storage facility, either inside or outside of the base.
On June 30, there was an explosion at a medical clinic in the northern area of Tehran, caused by a gas leak, according to an Iranian official

On July 2, 2020 there was an explosion at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility

On Wednesday, July 15, 2020 a fire broke out at Iran's Bushehr port, setting at least 7 ships ablaze. The fire at the Bushehr port was first reported by the Tasnim news agency.

In the city of Mashhad gas storage tanks caught fire and exploded. Additionally, on Saturday, Tehran's fire department reported another
In Tehran several gas cylinders explosed in the basement of an apartment building; reportedly nineteen people were killed i

Iran's state news agency IRNA, suggested that the explosions could be possibly caused by sabotage by enemies, such as the U.S. and Israel, but did not directly accuse either of the countries. On July 5, 2020 Israel's defense minister said that the country was not "necessarily" behind the explosions in Iran.

Scripture for today, 7-15-20: Israel Muslim Prophecy

7/15/2020

Amir Tsarfati from Israel Explains the Complicated Facts About Israel, the Muslims, Dome of the Rock & Mecca
Mohammad Never Wanted the Jewish Lands He Prayed toward Mecca BUT then ...
Israel's enemy said: "I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land." Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?"'

Ezekiel 38:12-13

7-13-20, Christian Amir Tsarfati from Israel gives an update; discussing Turkey's wars in the Middle East. All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, [Matthew 24:8] the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. Iran, Libya, Sudan, Turkey and their inner workings are threatening Israel.

The founder of Islam, Mohammad only wanted the Jews to join his crusade, but when they wouldn't he killed them all and abandoned his quest for Jerusalem.

In 682 AD one Muslim tribe from Damascus built the Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount as a substitute for their Hajj from Damascus to Mecca. Their book Koran says zero about Jerusalem. In 1979 Iran began it's quest to takeover Israel ...

Never, in the history of the world have so many forces: religious, economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral and spiritual converged together to bring the teetering world over the edge into the abyss and to a point of no return.

America is under attack from a virus and racial upheavals resulting in horrific destruction & rioting.

The Lord Jesus Christ said when you see all these signs happening, know that I am near, even at the door [Matthew 24:33]. America's upcoming presidential election on Nov 3, 2020 is being watched by Iran especially ... they understand what happens in Washington DC will affect the entire Middle East.

Scripture for Today, 7-2-20: World Turmoil & God's Peace

7/2/2020

End of American Dream
Hatred level in the USA rising with each passing day
*
Massive Violence Will Rock Our Cities On July 4th
*
Jesus said it is going to get worse and worse. The Apostle John prophesied that in the end times many anti-Christs would come; it would be like the days of Noah & Lot in Sodom & Gomorrah when every intent and imagination of the human heart was consistently wicked and totally evil. And very soon it'll get much worse. Disciples of Christ will be arrested, persecuted and killed. You will be hated all over the world and many will turn away from Christ, betraying and hating each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end as we know it will come.

1 John 2:18; Genesis 6:5; Matthew 24:9-14; Romans 1:29

6-30-20, Michael Synder* -- Turmoil and mayhem in the USA includes lawlessness and virus lockdown. Reportedly law enforcement authorities all over the USA are bracing for more rioting [2 Thess 2:7] as liberal leftist America hating anarchists are planning more violence to make July 4th 2020 one of the biggest protest days so far. Traditionally in America, INDEPENDENCE DAY is greatly celebrated, but this year two protests are planned near the White House : occupying 'The Ellipse' and “million man march” will be in front of the White House ending at the U.S. Capitol.
Thus far the Covid virus scare has been successfully locking down America causing untold misery health wise and on the economy. The plan to continue and increase the destruction needs to find ways to make it sound a lot more scary than it really is [98% of victims recover]. Over the past couple of weeks we're being told that this new wave of virus is “10 times more infectious” than it was when it first started spreading in China and many people have really been freaking out as the number of confirmed cases have come forth.

Although the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic, the truth is that things are going to get progressively worse:

The so called new Covid 'surge' attempting to push the number of daily cases to the highest levels we've seen so far
The global economy is in the process of imploding
Massive civil unrest violence, rioting, vandalism in U.S. cities from coast to coast as law enforcement/police are being defunded
Giant swarms of locusts that are wiping out farms all the way from eastern Africa to parts of India
Earthquakes Mar 25-June 25, 2020: Russia 7.5 magnitude, Mexico 7.4, New Zealand 7.4, China 6.3, Japan 5.9
Swarms of citizens are exiting the high crime cities moving to the 'fly over states' where there's little virus and crime - a SanFranciso CA real estate agent describes it as “a mad rush to get out of the city”

It is time to admit the truth. For decades Republican presidential candidates have promised voters that if we help get them elected they will move the Supreme Court in a more conservative direction upholding the Constitution and not their political leanings, concepts, ideology or philosophy on any issue; but it hasn’t happened. A Republican has chosen the current majority of justices sitting on the Supreme court yet - victories continue to go to the leftist Democrats - examples: abortion, healthcare, homosexuality.

Considering 2020's worldwide turmoil; many nations are now near war: [Mark 13:7]

Three nuclear nations China, Pakistan and India have been shooting each other over a disputed border region
North Korea just blew up “a joint liaison office” that it had used for talks with the South Korean government
Turkey is warning Israel of grave consequences if the Jewish state proceeds with a plan to annex portions of Judea and Samaria [aka West Bank]

If a major regional war erupts at even one of these flash points, it will be another devastating blow for a global economy that is already imploding, and there is a very strong probability that the U.S. and other major western powers could be drawn into the conflict. So even though the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic, and the future looks grim. We should use this period of time to prepare for what is ahead of us, because at some point the window of opportunity to prepare will be closed for good. However, born again [John 3:3,7] believers in Christ Jesus should not be fearful ... He holds the future and gives us peace that passes all understanding. [Philippians 4:7]

Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; Daniel 9:5, 7

Scripture for Today, 6-24-20: Jews Back!

6/24/2020

Jews Worldwide Now Moving to Israel in Unprecedented Droves as Prophesied in Bible Old Testament Book of Jeremiah
The Lord said: "At the same time I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people. The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow."

Jeremiah 31:1-2; Genesis 17:7, 19; Hosea 1:10

6-18-20, Breaking Israel News -- Spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron Rabbbi Yishai Fleisher released an “invitation” for Jews worldwide to move back to Israel hinting that the comfort they enjoyed in America could be coming to an end.
The latest forecast from Jerusalem says that the Jewish state of Israel is expecting 90,000 Jews from the diaspora to emigrate to Israel by the end of 2021. The process of Jewish people worldwide naturalizing in Israel is called ‘Aliyah’. According to Jewish tradition, when Rachel's father Laban deceived Jacob giving her older sister Leah in marriage in her stead, Rachel revealed to Leah a secret sign she had made with Jacob in order to spare Leah from embarrassment. Rachel had unparalleled selflessness and love for her sister, it is Rachel’s prayers, tears and cries for compassion to her children that are heard by God more than any other biblical figure. God promises Rachel that those tears are not for naught, but rather “There is a reward for your labor” and “your children shall return to their country.” (Jeremiah 31:16)

Josh Wander, founder of the Bring them Home organization which educates Jews on the spiritual importance of making Aliyah said: “With the combination of corona, financial instability, widespread unrest and antisemitism, Jews are again shaken to their core for the first time and are looking for alternative places to live.

There are those out there who say that ‘this too shall pass’ [Rev 21:10] and I constantly remind them that during the plagues in Egypt, the goal of the plagues was to send a message to the Egyptians which unfortunately – they didn’t receive well. It’s possible that the riots will die down and they’ll fix the economy (although I don’t see that happening). But even if that does happen, the divine message for people to return is there.”

"There is hope for your future [Israel] —declares Hashem [God]:
Your children shall return to their country."
Jeremiah 31:13 (The Israel Bible™)

God's covenant for the Jewish homeland was with Abraham and his wife, Sarah:

Scripture for Today, 6-18-20: Sun Stood Still

6/17/2020

Sunday, June 21, 2020: Rare Ring of Fire Eclipse from Book of Joshua to Appear Over Israel
"the sun stood still & the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies [the Amorites]. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven & hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man [Joshua]: for the LORD fought for Israel."

Joshua 10:13-14; Isaiah 38:8; Habakkuk 3:10-13

History: On August 21, 2017 the complete solar eclipse transversed the continental United States many believe it ushered in the most devastating hurricane season in US history. Eclipse of the Sun is considered a bad omen.

Sunday, June 21, 2020, 7:26 to 9:26 am in Israel
Annular Solar Eclipse Will Occur

6-16-20, Breaking Israel News -- A rare annular solar eclipse will appear in the heavens over Israel on Sunday, June 21, 2020. According to experts, this type of eclipse described as a “ring of fire” was responsible for Israel's victory under Joshua against the Amorites and the miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during battle exactly 3,227 years ago.

The eclipse will be visible in appx 37 mile wide path traversing Israel, Africa, Pakistan, India and China. It will be visible in Israel for two hours from 7:26 AM to 9:26 AM local time, reaching its peak one hour later about 8:26 AM and disappear at 9:26 AM. The sun will be 99% obscured by the moon, making the sun’s corona appear as a "ring of fire" [Zechariah 2:5] around the dark circle of the moon.

In its discussion of eclipses, the Hebrew Talmud that is commentative and interpretative writings that hold a place in the Jewish religious tradition (Sukkot 29a) specifically described solar eclipses as being a bad omen for the nations who base their calendars on the solar cycle. “When Israel does the will of the place (God), they have nothing to fear from all of this,” citing the Prophet Jeremiah as a source. [Jeremiah 23:3; Zechariah 1:12, 16] Thus said Hashem [God]: Do not learn to go the way of the nations, And do not be dismayed by portents in the sky; Let the nations be dismayed by them! Jeremiah 10:2

Researchers Attribute the Bible Account of the Sun Stopping for Joshua to an Annular Eclipse: In a paper published in the scientific Journal Astronomy and Geophysics in 2017, researchers from England’s Cambridge University confirmed a theory first suggested by Israel's Ben Gurion University researchers: that Joshua’s miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during a battle to allow the Israelites more time to defeat their enemies was actually an annular solar eclipse.

They even pinpointed the exact date – the afternoon of October 30, precisely 3,224 years ago when Joshua led the Israelites into battle with the armies of five kings in order to help the besieged Gibeonites, with whom they had signed a peace pact. In the battle as the Israelites began to gain the upper hand, Joshua prayed for the sun and the moon to stand still in order to complete the defeat. His prayers were answered. Joshua 10:13 -->

<-- The Cambridge researchers understood this passage as an important historical account: “Modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611 Bible, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving, but going back to the original Hebrew text, we determined that an alternative meaning could be that the sun and moon just stopped doing what they normally do: they stopped shining. In this context, the Hebrew words could be referring to a solar eclipse, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and the sun appears to stop shining.”

He added that the interpretation was supported by the fact that the Hebrew word meaning ‘stand still’ shares a root with a Babylonian word describing eclipses found in ancient astronomical texts.

The Ben Gurion study based its conclusion on how it was even described in the Book of Joshua as being an annular eclipse because the Bible specifies that the moon was also involved. [As described above, an annular eclipse occurs when the moon passes in between the sun and the earth.] They interpreted the word “dom,” which only occurs one other time in the Bible (Psalms 37:7), not as “stand still,” which is how it is traditionally read, but to mean “become dark.”
Their research revealed that there was only one total solar eclipse that occurred in the region between the years 1500-1000 BC, when the Israelites are believed to have entered the land.

The eclipse allowed them to date the battle precisely to 4:28 p.m. on October 30, 1207 BC.

With the help of the Merneptah Stele, an Egyptian artifact which independently confirms the Israelites’ presence in Canaan, historians have dated Joshua’s entry into the land to between 1500 and 1050 BC. Using complex calculations, the researchers determined that the only annular eclipse visible from the Canaan during that period took place in October of 1207 BC. The path of this eclipse passed directly over Canaan.
