JOHN McTERNAN ON THE UN VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE PALESTINIANS, MORSI THE EGYPTIAN PHARAOH, AND MUCH MORE!

UN General Assembly votes in favor of Palestinian statehood

                          Verse of the Day

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Commentary

The plan of what Morsi is doing with Egypt is now clear. He wants absolute power, and in turn he will control Hamas with Israel. If there ever was a “deal with the devil” this is one.

President Mohamed Morsi Strikes Again – and Again 11/28/12 This is a fantastic article that allowed me to understand what Morsi is doing with Egypt. This is a must read. The deal is, if the US allows him to become “Pharaoh”, he will control Gaza and allow the US to focus on Iran! He then will be free to complete the Islamic caliphate and, in the end, attack Israel! I now clearly understand what is happening in Egypt.

“Essentially, Morsi is trying to force the United States and its European allies into a deal that runs something like this: “Render me what is Pharaoh’s in the land of Egypt, and I will deliver you stability on the Israeli front. You and your local allies, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the other Gulf states, can then focus on Syria and Iran.”In short, what Morsi is saying is “Give me my kingdom and I will give you and your allies primacy in the area.”

All what is happening with Israel and the Middle East has a “life of its own”. These events cannot be stopped. The time for the Islamic caliphate and the Psalm 83 war has arrived. It is just a matter of time. The time for Iran to be destroyed before it builds nuclear weapons has arrived. Iran has no intention of stopping, so Israel must move to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. This confrontation cannot be stopped.

We need to stay close to the Lord by faith and keep watching for the coming of the Lord Jesus for His bride. There is no stopping these events and there is no stopping the coming of the Day of the LORD, when Jesus Christ returns with His church at the battle of Armageddon.

May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Israel and the Middle East War

Abbas Speaking Before the UN General Assembly for a Palestinian State

UN General Assembly votes in favor of Palestinian statehood 11/29/12 For this to become official, it has to pass the Security Council. The last time this happened the US vetoed it and ended the chance for a Palestinian state. This vote includes making Jerusalem the capital of this state!

“The U.N. General Assembly has voted in favor of Palestinian statehood, after the Palestinians asked it to recognize a non-member state of Palestine in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, and the Hamas-ruled Gaza strip. The resolution upgrading the Palestinians’ status was approved by the 193-member world body late Thursday by a vote of 138-9 with 41 abstentions.”

MUSLIMS PRESS FOR MORE POWERS IN EUROPE. THIS WILL GET WORSE AND WORSE IN THESE PERILOUS END TIMES!

MUSLIMS PRESSING FOR BLASPHEMY LAWS IN EUROPE. 

by Soeren Kern
November 30, 2012 at 8:00 am

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a bloc of 57 Muslim countries, is pressuring Western countries into making it an international crime to criticize Islam or Mohammed – all on the name of "religious tolerance."

The Dutch parliament has approved a motion to revoke a law that makes it a crime to insult God.
Free speech activists say the move represents a significant victory at a time when Muslim groups are stepping up pressure on European governments to make it a crime to criticize of Islam or the prophet Mohammed.

Article 147 of the Dutch Penal Code was drafted in the 1930s and had not been used for half a century; leading legislators said there was no longer a need for it. The decision to abolish the law follows national elections in September 2012, in which two liberal parties (the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and the Labour Party (PvdA) emerged victorious.
The issue was brought to the attention of the Dutch parliament in June 2011, when Geert Wilders, a MP who crusades for free-speech, was acquitted after facing trial on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims. The judge ruled that Wilders had the right to criticize Islam, even though his opinions may have insulted many Muslims.

Wilders, who leads the Freedom Party, had described Islam as "fascist," and compared Islam's holy book, the Koran, to Adolf Hitler's political manifesto "Mein Kampf." Amsterdam judge Marcel van Oosten said Wilders's statements were directed at Islam, not at Muslims, and ruled that the statements were "acceptable within the context of public debate."
Wilders said at the time that the verdict was "not only an acquittal for me, but a victory for freedom of expression in the Netherlands." But many European countries still have blasphemy laws which restrict freedom of expression, and in some cases, such laws have been replaced with more general legislation that criminalizes religious hatred.
The decision to scrap the country's blasphemy law has been hailed internationally by activists, who have long called it outdated and a threat to free speech.

PROPERTY IS MORE IMPORTANT TO THE IRANIANS THAN A JEWISH LIFE!!!

Iran: Muslims murder Jewish woman to seize her property for a mosque

They wanted her property for a mosque, and ultimately their piety could not be restrained. "Jewish woman brutally murdered in Iran over property dispute," by Ilan Ben Zion in the Times of Israel, November 28:

A 57-year-old Jewish woman was brutally stabbed to death and her body mutilated on Monday by Muslim attackers in the Iranian city of Isfahan, in what her family says was a religiously motivated crime related to a property dispute, Menashe Amir, an expert on Iranian Jewry who spoke with the victim’s family, has told The Times of Israel.

Tuba N., whose family requested not to reveal her last name, was murdered by her Muslim neighbors, who had harassed her family for years in an attempt to drive them from their home and confiscate the property for the adjoining mosque.

“The religious radicals even expropriated part of the house and attached it to the mosque’s courtyard,” Amir said. “The Jewish family appealed to the courts with the help of a local attorney” to seek redress for the conflict, “despite the threats to their lives.”

On Monday, while her husband was in Tehran attending to business matters, “thugs broke into her home, tied up her two sisters who were living with her, and repeatedly stabbed her to death.” Afterward, her attackers allegedly butchered her body and cut off her hands, a sister who witnessed the event told her relatives in the US, who conveyed the information to Amir.

"Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): 'I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.'" -- Qur'an 8:12

What I Saw During Operation Pillar of Defense

By Nira Lee

Four years ago, watching the coverage of Operation Cast Lead from the comfort of my dorm, I was a conflicted college student. As supportive as I was of Israel, I still found it painful any time I heard about civilian casualties in Gaza. What I saw portrayed in the media didn't add up: on the one hand I knew that the IDF was engaged in careful efforts to prevent civilian casualties, despite Hamas's strategy of fighting from amongst its own civilian population. Yet the media made it seem like the IDF was actively targeting civilians.

Back then, I understood Israel's efforts at protecting civilians as a something akin to a talking point -- I had no personal involvement in the conflict. Yet I had no idea how true it is until I myself participated in last week's Operation "Pillar of Defense" as an officer in the IDF.

When I moved to Israel and enlisted, I joined a unit called the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which is devoted to civilian and humanitarian issues.

As an International Liaison Officer in the Gaza office, my job primarily entails coordinating transfers of goods, aid, and delegations into Gaza. I work closely with representatives of the international community, and although our perspectives may differ, we maintain relationships of mutual respect born of a common goal; I am here to help them succeed in their work improving the quality of life in Gaza.

While the day-to-day work is challenging in Gaza, I learned over the past ten days that the true test comes with crisis. At exactly the point where most militaries would use the heat of war to throw out the rulebook, we worked harder than ever to provide assistance wherever and whenever possible.

The eight days of Operation "Pillar of Defense" have been some of the hardest I have ever known physically and emotionally. The college student from Arizona would never have thought it possible to work 20 hours a day, fueled only by adrenaline and longing for just an hour of sleep on a shelter floor -- wearing the same filthy uniform because changing, much less showering, wouldn't allow me to get to a shelter in time when the next rocket barrage hit. And no, wearing the green uniform does not mean that you aren't afraid when the sirens sound.

Had you told me four years ago that there were IDF officers who stayed up all night under a hail of rockets, brainstorming ways to import medical supplies and food to the people of Gaza, I am not sure I would have believed you. But I can tell you it is true because I did it every night.

What amazed me the most was the singular sense of purpose that drove everyone from the base commander to the lowest ranking soldier. We were all focused completely on our mission: to help our forces accomplish their goals without causing unnecessary harm to civilian lives or infrastructure.

It is harder to explain the emotional roller-coaster -- how proud and relieved I felt every time a truck I coordinated entered Gaza, and how enraging it was when we had to shut down the crossing into Gaza after Hamas repeatedly targeted it. Or how invigorating it was help evacuate two injured Palestinians from the border area, only to be informed minutes later that a terrorist had detonated a bomb on a bus near my apartment in Tel Aviv.

So after all that I see and do, nothing frustrates me more than the numbers game that is played in the media. The world talks about "disproportionate" numbers of casualties as the measure of what is right and wrong -- as if not enough Israelis were killed by Hamas for the IDF to have the right to protect its own civilians from endless rocket attacks.

In my position, I see the surgical airstrikes, and spend many hours with the UN, ICRC, and NGO officers reviewing maps to help identify, and avoid, striking civilian sites. One of our pilots who saw a rocket aimed at Israel aborted his mission when he saw children nearby -- putting his own civilians at risk to save Gazans. At the end of the day, what these "disproportionate numbers" show is how we in Israel protect our children with elaborate shelters and missile defense systems, whereas the terror groups in Gaza hide behind theirs, using them as human shields in order to win a cynical media war.

What's really behind the headlines and that picture on the front page? Every day, I coordinate goods with a young Gazan woman who works for an international aid organization. Last month we forged a bond when we had to run for cover together when Hamas targeted Kerem Shalom Crossing -- attacking the very aid provided to its own people. During the eight days of Operation "Pillar of Defense", not one passed without a phone call, just to check in. "Are you ok?" I would ask. "I heard they fired at your base. Please stay safe", she would reply. And every night I made her promise to call me if she needed anything. These are the things that the media fails to show the world, just as they underplay how Hamas deliberately endangers civilians on both sides of the border -- by firing indiscriminately at Israel from Gaza neighborhoods.

Maybe stories such as these make for less exciting headlines, but if they received more attention there would perhaps be more moral clarity, and thus more peace in the Middle East.

REVIEW OF THE LAUNCH OF THE BPF AT BLACKBURN LAST SATURDAY.

Dear Friends,

I would just like to offer you a brief summary of what happened at the first formal gathering of the BIBLE PROPHECY FOUNDATION, which took place on Saturday, the 24th November at the splendid Leamington Road Baptist Church in Blackburn, who offered their excellent facilities for a very nominal fee.  

The meetings were a great time of fellowship for the one hundred and fifteen supporters who gathered from all parts of the country, including Scotland and Wales. The sense of the presence of the Lord was felt throughout the time together.

The Chairman of the BPF, my good friend David Hoyle opened up the time together and led the opening session, which included a statement of our aims and objectives, and our raison d'etre. His chairmanship was clear, but discrete, directing attention to the Lord Jesus and His imminent return. The worship was strong and anointed, being superbly led by musicians and our good friends from the Ainsdale Evangelical Church.

The evening session was well chaired by the treasurer of the BPF, Roy Cook from Blackburn, and I had the privilege of bringing the two ministerial messages. My first talk centered on the fallacy of the Mayan Calendar prediction that the world will end on December 21st, and how accusing fingers will be pointed at us when this dubious forecast prophecy fails, even though we never attempt to set dates or make false Biblical accusations. We need to stand firm in our stance on TRUE Bible prophesies and not be led astray by these false prophets!

In the evening meeting I tended to concentrate on the Scriptures themselves, rather than erroneous words from puny mankind, and I warned about the events happening in the world today, especially in the Middle East, which indicate very strongly that The Rapture of the Church to glory is very close at hand. The two sessions were well received by the body, and the day closed with a deep sense of gratitude to the Lord, and a tangible joy expressed by so many!

DVD's and CD's of the meetings will soon be available from David and Julie Boyden who were present to record the event to their usual very high standards. Their website can be found at www.twobytwoworship.com.

Kathleen, Gilly and I were very blessed personally by the lovely day in the presence of the Lord.

Maranatha Blessing To You All,

BRIAN.

"MILITANT MUSLIMS ARE NOW CUTTING OUT TONGUES" BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM.

Recently on Egyptian TV, Dr. Abdullah Badr, an Al Azhar graduate and professor of Islamic exegesis, proclaimed that a new day has arrived, when there will be absolutely no more toleration for anyone who speaks against Islam—including people who speak against the implementation of Sharia law and its draconian punishments.

Currently on trial for libel and defamation of female Egyptian artist Elham Shahin—whom, among many other derogatory statements, he called a "whore"—an unrepentant Badr, appeared again on TV, and made the following oath:

I have sworn to Allah, that any dog—for that is how Allah described them, for they are like dogs that are constantly panting—that any dog who mocks the Sharia, or mocks Islam, or blames it, we will cut his tongue out, I'm saying it here: We will cut his tongue out! That's it. The time of transgressing against Islam, and speaking insolence, has passed—it's over. Today, the People of Lies [code for secular people] defend their falsehoods with great zeal; so shall we will defend Islam with all our might—no matter what it costs, no matter what it costs! I'm saying it here and now: Let the whole world burn, but Islam not be mocked.

None of this is figurative. Days after Dr. Badr made these pronouncements, on October 30, a roaming band of Salafis in Suez attacked and severely beat a young Egyptian grocery store worker, and even tried to cut off his hand, because he prevented one of their gang from using the store bathroom without permission, to which the bearded Salafi had responded: "I do not ask for permission."

The assaulted youth's brother, angered at what had happened, "insulted the men." Accordingly, Suez's new Sharia enforcers, who call themselves the "Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice"—styling themselves after Saudi Arabia's "morality" thugs—ordered that the man's tongue be cut out, claiming that he had insulted Islam (this is the same group that earlier stabbed to death a young Egyptian man for walking in public with his fiancée).

The father of the two boys, a longtime local, gave more detail, including how he had never seen the Salafi group, who "spoke in formal/Quranic Arabic"; also, in this video, the father explains how one of the Salafis, "a short man," kept screaming at the top of his voice that his son "has insulted the religion! His tongue must be severed as soon as possible!"

With help from others, the youth managed to escape Sharia justice.

Not all attempts of tongue-cutting are failed; nor is this matter limited to the Salafis of Egypt. In May 2011, a poet in Yemen had his tongue cut out by "unknown assailants," supposedly for writing a poem in praise of Yemeni dictator Ali Abdallah Saleh, who opposed the Islamist uprising. It is worth remembering that the prophet of Islam himself regularly had poets who offended him assassinated, including one woman who was slaughtered while suckling her babe in her house at night.

Also, in April 2011, in "moderate" Bahrain, a muezzin was attacked, beat, tortured—including with boiling oil—and had his tongue cut, reportedly to Islam's war cry, "Allahu Akbar!"

Indeed, even in the non-Muslim world, Muslims are hacking at tongues. In Australia, a Muslim man was recently sentenced to eight-and-a-half years' jail time "for severing a woman's tongue." Among other things, he invaded the apartment of a non-Muslim woman he was formally involved with and "smashed an empty bottle over the 20-year-old's head several times, fracturing her eye socket. Tahir then dragged a knife across her face, cutting her mouth and severing her tongue, the court heard."

Why so much violence against the tongue? For the same reason that Dr. Badr would rather see the whole world set aflame than Islam insulted: the tongue—which utters words and free speech—is fundamental to exposing and combating the things of Islam, whether formal, Sharia law or whether the violent, supremacist culture born of it, very much in accord with the words of the 13th century Sheikh of Islam himself, Ibn Taymiyya: "Waging war verbally against Islam may be worse than waging war physically."

LOVELY TRUE STORY FOR YOU HERE FRIENDS, OF HOW A RADICAL ISLAMIST BECAME AN ARDENT ZIONIST!

RADICAL ISLAMIST TURNS ARDENT ZIONIST: THE STORY OF KASIM HAFEEZ. 

By ICA 

 By Fern Sidman – “On Thursday evening, November 15, an audience of several hundred people sat in rapt attention at Temple Israel on New York City’s Upper East Side, as they heard the compelling narrative of a most unusual man.
Kasim Hafeez, 28, is a British-born Muslim of Pakistani descent who was raised in an environment where he was taught that ‘Jews control the world, and Israel is at fault for just about everything.’ As many other young Muslims in the United Kingdom, he embraced the teachings of radical Islam and internalized the visceral hatred for Israel that is endemic to this philosophy.

Growing up in a home where his father praised Adolf Hitler (ym’sh) as a ‘brilliant man’ whose only shortcoming was that he ‘didn’t kill enough Jews,’ Kasim Hafeez was being groomed to be yet another virulent Israel basher, but this life trajectory was abruptly derailed when he decided to undertake some serious research on the political history of Israel. Today, the Nottingham-based university administrator addresses audiences around the globe about the epiphany of truth that changed his life, and his speeches are being sponsored by the premier North American pro-Israel student advocacy organization, StandWithUs.

HOW THE WORLD'S MEDIA WILL DISTORT ISRAEL'S SUCCESS STORY YET AGAIN!!

THE DANGEROUS SUCCESS OF IRON DOME!!

You can bet that even as Hamas and its sponsors are recovering from the shock of clanging into Israel’s new missile shield, they are contemplating fresh ways to kill us. Those drafting the Pillar of Defense ceasefire terms mustn’t make it easy for them

By David Horovitz from "The Times In Israel". 

This is a great article from David Horovitz as he gives an in-depth explanation on how the world's media will turn Israel's marvellous success with IRON DOME into a negative story, and then return to the masses of Palestinians killed in Hamas by the Jewish State. They are damned if they "do", and they are damned if they "do not"!!

AN EMAIL FROM A DISTRAUGHT ISRAELI SUFFERER! SHOW THE WORLD WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ISRAELI IN THESE LAST DAYS!!

 

 

This is the most powerful photo I have ever seen- a mother defending her child with her life, during a red alert siren in Israel.

Please share and show the world what it means to be an Israeli!  (Ian Norton - Jerusalem).

Voice for Israel Update:  Nov 21^st 2012

It seems that I have inherited another dog in the Land – Nina, a shepherd/Canaanite cross. (To see a photo of Nina, see the attached PDF file). She has become quite attached to us over the last couple of years; even more so, apparently, than her real owners, our former landlords.  And so, when we moved to a new house in the same moshav, Nina just naturally moved right along with us.  She deposited herself on our front porch, and refuses to budge!

 As our ‘self-appointed’ guardian, she watches over us day and night, just as He who keeps Israel watches over us 24/7 - He never slumbers nor sleeps.  Such fierce loyalty and devotion I have not ever witnessed before in my life.  Even if my little grandson is scampering over the play equipment in the park, Nina is right up there with him, ever on duty.

I call them ‘Mutt and Jeff’ as little Pepper and big Nina run around the village together on our daily outingsJ  There is one problem area, however, in our route; and that is this one particular dog which always flies into a frenzy behind her fenced gate whenever Nina walks by.  Why?  I have no idea.

Nina may be female, but she has never been one to back away from a fight.  In fact, I have seen her take on five wild dogs at a time – and win!  So whenever we passed this gate, the two dogs would get into a noisy, thrashing, all-out rumble.  Not that they could do much damage to one another, however, since the dog was contained, but it was still loud and disturbing – probably to the whole neighborhood.

One day, though, I noticed that Nina made a different choice.  We walked by as usual, the dog kicked up a frenzy also as usual, but this time Nina just walked on by.  She did not enter into this dog’s fury, nor did she allow herself to be provoked.  She just graciously ignored the nasty fellow; and she has done so ever since.

Not an expert on dog psychology as is the Dog Whisperer, so I can’t tell you exactly what went on in her doggie mind, but I can tell you it made a difference. She came to a place of deciding that it just wasn’t worth her energy to engage with this ‘enemy’.

I learned a couple of valuable lessons from my friend, Nina.  First of all, we don’t need to ‘get into it’ with everyone who tries to provoke us.  Usually, it does no good whatsoever to get into a quarrel with someone who seems to be just itching to pick a fight.  This is just a total waste of energy.

“It is honorable for a man to stop striving; since any fool can start a quarrel.” (Proverbs 20:3)

There may be someone in our life who provokes us time and time again and we keep getting sucked in – not that it does anyone any good.  But like Nina, we can make a different choice.  We can choose to just ignore the annoying ruckus, let it go and walk on by in perfect peace, not letting all that loud barking and snarling even faze us whatsoever.  Lah, lah, lah….. I don’t even hear you…..

The other lesson I learned from Nina is that our enemies may make a lot of noise and can be very intimidating but they are behind a fenced gate which is the restraining power of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit).  Even the devil himself, hasatan, was only allowed to go as far as God permitted him in the testing of Job. 

“And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”  (Job 2:6)

One of the names of God is El Elyon, meaning God above all.  He has power and dominion and authority over all the powers of darkness that threaten us.  Yeshua has all principalitis and powers under His feet.  Halleluyah!  Satan may make a lot of noise, like a roaring lion and seek to devour us; but if we will make El Elyon our refuge, then no evil shall befall us. 

“He who dwells in the secret place of Elyon shall abide under the shadow of Shaddai.  I will say of Adonai, “He is my refuge and my fortress; Elohai, in Him I will trust…Because you have made, יהוה  who is my refuge, even Elyon, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you.”  (Psalm 91:1-2,9-10)

In these perilous times - of enemy attacks and missiles being fired upon this sacred Land, we place our hope and trust in these precious promises found in God’s word - because there are times when we have no choice but to engage with the enemy - such as the situation Israel is facing today.

The village where our extended family lives is called Ramat Raziel.  Rama means high or lifted up; and raz means secret.  El is a name for God. Therefore the meaning of Ramat Raziel is a ‘high and secret place of God’.  God has provided for us a ‘secret place of Elyon’ to be a refuge for us in these troubled times.                   

Yesterday, there was reported to have been another missile hit in the area of Tzuba, which is very close to our home, but praise Adonai, there were no casualties.  Shelters have been opened and cleaned out to be ready for use in every city, town and village.  Always in the back of our minds needs to be the thought, “If the azaka (siren) sounds, where will we run for shelter?” Sometimes there is no choice but to drop to the ground, cover our heads & pray (like the mother in the attached photo)!

But we know that the most secure shelter is that of abiding under the shadow of El Shaddai – a place of safety that is available to us all.  Yeshua longs to gather us, as a mother hen gathers her chicks.  “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.” (Psalm 91:4)

The other day, I was told of an 88 year old woman who, when she heard the siren, did not have the strength to run to the shelter.  She said, “I’m going to sit right here in my chair.”  The missile fell and destroyed everything around her; but she was left completely unharmed – without even a ringing in her ears from the blast!  Such is the protective power of Almighty God!

And yet it is not a lighthearted, carefree time.  Many women’s husbands and children’s fathers have been called back into military service, leaving their anxious families at home, glued to the news on radio and TV. They await Israel’s decision of whether or not to send in ground troops into Gaza, which, many fear would be near to a suicide mission for these foot soldiers.

Yesterday, at the park, we ran into a young (and very pregnant) woman, getting out of her car.  She is about due to give birth, and has another little one at home besides, but her husband has been called back along with the other reservists, not knowing when (or if) he will return.  I can’t imagine being in such a situation!

It is one thing to just hear of this happening in Israel; it is quite another thing altogether when the people whose lives are being threatened are our neighbors, people we live and work with, men, women and children whom we have come to know and love.

We also need to remember the innocents in Gaza who are suffering because of the stubbornness of their leadership in fighting against Israel, apple of God’s eye. Just as in ancient times, when God delivered the children of Israel from Egypt, many innocent men, women and children suffered through the Ten Plagues because of the hard heartedness of Pharaoh.

 It is a tragic fact that in war, so many innocent people get caught in the crossfire; however the civilian casualties in Gaza also demonstrates the horrendous practice of Hamas in using their own people as human shields by firing their missiles from within densely populated areas. 

What I am praying for today, is that the Spirit of the Living God, the Ruach Hakodesh, will so fill us with His peace and love that in these days of trouble, His overflowing peace will calm the storm and still the frightened hearts around us.

Yeshua has promised us a peace that passes all understanding – a constant, undisturbed, quiet portion of shalom.  May His blanket of shalom be a protective covering for us, a barrier from all harm, a safe and comforting cocoon of peace which surrounds us at all times, even in a time of war, turmoil and unrest.  May each one of us receive and rest in this precious, priceless gift of peace (shalom).

Israel has an ‘iron dome’ that intercepts many of the enemy’s missiles and rockets.  I am also praying that each missile or rocket that evades the earthly iron dome, constructed by human hands, will be intercepted by God’s heavenly ‘iron dome’ over this Land. 

Thank you so much to all of you for your outpouring of love, encouragement and support!  It means so much of us to know that you are standing with us here in the Land of Israel.  May He give His angels charge over each and every one of us to keep us in all of our ways. (Psalm 91:11)

Shalom from Israel

Subject: Fw: BBC's Jon Donnison has been caught posting photos of Syria and passing them off as from Gaza.

http://bbcwatch.org/2012/11/19/bbcs-jon-donnison-tweets-malicious-fauxtography/ BBC’s Jon Donnison Tweets malicious fauxtography Among the recent Tweets on the BBC Gaza correspondent Jon Donnison’s Twitter timeline we find this: For the Twitter uninitiated, Donnison is retweeting to his 7,971 followers a Tweet by one Hazem Balousha – a Palestinian ‘journalist and social activist’ – including a picture titled “Pain in Gaza”, to which Donnison adds his own commentary – “Heartbreaking”. The picture is indeed heartbreaking:  Except  – as has already been pointed out to Donnison – it does not come from Gaza.  Here is the original picture: Up to now, it may have been possible to put down Jon Donnison’s frequently problematic reporting to a lack of knowledge and understanding of the region. However, his decision to promote deliberate misinformation – either knowingly or as a result of a complete failure to check facts –  indicates that he is not merely naïve.  Donnison has rendered himself no longer fit for the purpose of accurate and impartial reporting from the Middle East in accordance with the BBC’s legal obligations.  Update:  This is just in:  Sorry – that is nowhere near sufficient.

 

THE OFFICAL LAUNCH OF THE BIBLE PROPHECY FOUNDATION AT BLACKBURN THIS SATURDAY.

AGAINST THE STARTLING AND APPROPRIATE BACKDROP OF THE CURRENT MIDDLE EAST TURMOIL, AND ISRAELI RESISTANCE TO HUNDRED'S AND HUNDRED'S OF ROCKETS FIRED AT IT'S TOWNS AND CITIES FROM GAZA IN RECENT MONTHS AND DAYS, A NEW PROPHECY ORGANISATION ,THE BIBLE PROPHECY FOUNDATION (B.P.F.), WILL HOLD IT'S LAUNCH MEETING AT LEAMINGTON ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH, BLACKBURN BB2 6HD ON SATURDAY 24th NOVEMBER.

 

MEETINGS WILL BE AT 3P.M. AND 6P.M. WITH TEA AND COFFEE SUPPLIED BETWEEN THE SESSIONS [PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN SANDWICHES ETC].THERE WILL BE THE NORMAL FORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH A LAUNCH BUT ADDITIONALLY BRIAN GEMMELL WILL ADDRESS THE SUBJECT OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR PROPHECIES PREDICTING THE END OF THE WORLD ON 21st DECEMBER 2012 AND GIVE A BIBLICAL RESPONSE. THE TOPIC WILL BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BOTH SESSIONS.

THE NEARNESS OF THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD SPURRED A NUMBER OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM AROUND THE UNITED KINGDOM TO FORM A LOOSE ASSOCIATION TOGETHER TO PROMOTE THE MESSAGE OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE AND RESURRECTION OF THE CHURCH, THE SUBSEQUENT JUDGEMENT PERIOD OF THE TRIBULATION PRECEDING THE GLORIOUS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM OF THE MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

 

FORMING THE B.P.F WILL ENABLE THESE BRETHREN TO FIND VENUES FROM WHICH THIS CLARION CALL, SOUNDING THE ALARM, CAN GO FORTH, SHARE RESOURCES AND FACILITIES, NEWS AND INFORMATION MORE READILY AND CO-ORDINATE THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH THOSE WHO DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THE B.P.F IS PARTICULARLY AIMING AT YOUNGER PEOPLE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE FORMAL CHURCH.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE PLEASE LOOK AT THE WEBSITE www.bibleprophecyfoundation.org WHICH COVERS ALL THE BASES. I FULLY ENDORSE THIS NEW ORGANISATION AND AM PRIVILEGED TO SERVE ON IT'S EXECUTIVE AS MINISTRY CO-ORDINATOR.

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME TO BLACKBURN ON THIS COMING SATURDAY YOU WILL BE MADE MOST WELCOME AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BE PART OF WHAT MAY TRANSPIRE TO BE THE LAST PROPHETIC ORGANISATION TO BE FORMED BEFORE THE RAPTURE!!!!!

BLESSINGS IN JESUS,

BRIAN.
