As Last Passover Before Their 70th Anniversary Dawns, Israel Prepares For Massive Palestinian Riots On Northern Border

New post on Now The End Begins

As Last Passover Before Their 70th Anniversary Dawns, Israel Prepares For Massive Palestinian Riots On Northern Border by Geoffrey Grider Israel’s security forces are gearing up for huge “Land Day” protests, expected to take place along the Gaza Strip’s security fence on Passover Friday, putting additional units on alert out of concerns that large numbers of Palestinians might try to break through the barrier and rush into Israel. "For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place."Jeremiah 29:10 (KJV) EDITOR'S NOTE: You can add this one to the list of ever-growing events that will be taking place on or around the 70th anniversary of Israel being regathered in fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Palestinians, incensed over the fact that Israel has returned to the land that is rightfully theirs, are beginning a series of protests that will begin on Passover tomorrow and continue all the way to...wait for it...May 15th, 2018. One day after the 70th anniversary of regathered Israel takes place. One day after the United States officially opens the new embassy in Jerusalem that Trump already declared to be the capital of Israel. One day could just be "that day"...and the rocket ride to 70 blazes forward.  Earlier this month, Palestinian groups announced plans for a six-week-long “March of Return,” including the construction of a tent city across from the Gaza security fence, and called on tens of thousands of Gaza residents to participate in what they described as a “peaceful protest.” The “March of Return” is set to begin on Friday with “Land Day,” which marks the Israeli government’s expropriation of Arab-owned land in the Galilee on March 30, 1976, and the ensuing demonstrations in which six Arab Israelis were killed. It is also, by coincidence, the eve of the week-long Passover holiday. The protests will continue until May 15, the day after the anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, which Palestinians refer to as the Nakba, or catastrophe. While organizers said the protest is meant to be peaceful, the army is preparing for the demonstrations to resemble the violent riots that have taken place along the Gaza security fence on a weekly basis since December, when US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. These weekly protests generally involve young Palestinian men burning tires and hurling rocks or Molotov cocktails at Israeli troops on the other side of the barrier. AS THEIR 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF BEING REGATHERED APPROACHES, IS THE LORD PREPARING TO VISIT ISRAEL? According to the Israel Defense Forces, the riots have also been used as cover for Palestinian terrorist groups to place improvised explosive devices along the border. In one such case, a bomb disguised as a flagstaff was placed on the fence and seriously injured four Israeli soldiers when they tried to remove it the next day. To prepare for the expected protests, additional army battalions, Border Police units, and dozens of snipers will be deployed along the Gaza border on Friday, in order to keep demonstrators from crossing, a military source said. In addition, police officers will be stationed a bit farther back, in order to keep back any Palestinians who breach the first line of defense, according to the source. Additional teams of IDF soldiers will also patrol the Israeli communities closest to the border, the Ynet news site reported on Monday. Besides the added boots on the ground, the security forces are also likely to again deploy drones that can drop tear gas on protesters on the Gaza side of the border, a technique that the Border Police tested earlier this month. According to Palestinian media, the IDF has sent bulldozers into the buffer zone between Israel and the Gaza Strip in order to clear the area of debris. Israel’s Hadashot news also reported that these bulldozers put in place additional barbed wire fencing on the Gaza side of the security barrier. These Land Day and Nakba Day protests are held annually, though this year the military believes they could be more intense, in light of ongoing tensions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip — both between Israel and the Palestinians and between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. In addition, Palestinians have been infuriated by the United States’s plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on May 15. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which regularly sees increases in violence by Palestinians, also begins on May 15. source

Jesuit-Run College Of The Holy Cross Now Declares That Jesus Christ Was A ‘Drag King’ Who Had ‘Queer Desires’!!

New post on Now The End Begins

Jesuit-Run College Of The Holy Cross Now Declares That Jesus Christ Was A ‘Drag King’ Who Had ‘Queer Desires’ by Geoffrey Grider The theology program at the Jesuit-run College of the Holy Cross has taken on a new tone ever since the school appointed a gender-obsessed Chair of New Testament Studies who claims Jesus was a “drag king,” a new article contends. "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:" Romans 1:26,27 (KJV) EDITOR'S NOTE: No surprise to me that this latest blasphemy against Jesus Christ is coming from a Catholic institution of "higher learning" that is run by the demonical order of the Jesuit priests, and just in time as Christians celebrate the Resurrection this coming Sunday. I cannot think of any other group that is more ignorant of Biblical teachings than the Catholics, but this takes things to a whole new low of existence. The Catholic Church wouldn't know Jesus Christ if He came knocking on their door tomorrow, but there iscoming a day when the Vatican will stand before Jesus face to face, and it will happen at the Second Coming. That will be that day when they see Jesus as He is truly is, as king of kings, and it will be a drag as God pronounces judgement on the Whore of Babylon.  "And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!" Revelation 18:16-18 (KJV) Writing for The Fenwick Review, Elinor Reilly of the Holy Cross class of 2018 argues in a March 26 article that Professor Tat-Siong Benny Liew’s “unconventional readings of Scripture” have brought “a new theological perspective to Holy Cross.” Letting the facts speak for themselves, Ms. Reilly suggests that “the centrality of sex and gender to his way of thinking about the New Testament” significantly colors the way that Professor Liew presents Jesus Christ to students at the Catholic College. In a remarkable re-reading of the Bible, Professor Liew has argued that Jesus is not only “king of Israel” and “king of the Jews,” but “also a drag king,” as presented in the New Testament Gospel of John. Saint John’s constant references to Jesus wanting water, giving water, and leaking water “speak to Jesus’ gender indeterminacy and hence his cross-dressing and other queer desires,” Liew contends. Reading everything through the lens of gender, Professor Liew finds sex in the most unlikely places in the life of Jesus. The episode of Jesus washing the apostles’ feet at the Last Supper, for example, is “suggestive,” like “a literary striptease,” and “even seductive,” because it “shows and withholds at the same time,” he claims. Liew’s sexualization of the sacred Christian texts goes beyond the reinterpretation of actions and extends to gender identity as well. For instance, Liew stated that in his Gospel, Saint John makes very clear that Jesus is a Jew but he is less clear about “whether Jesus is a biological male.” In passages that would be considered blasphemous to devout Christians, Liew eroticizes Jesus’ relationship to his disciples and even to God the Father, proposing that “Jesus himself needs others to orgasm with the Father.” This eroticization can be found in Liew’s interpretation of Christ’s passion and crucifixion as well. “What I am suggesting is that, when Jesus’ body is being penetrated, his thoughts are on his Father. He is, in other words, imagining his passion experience as a (masochistic?) sexual relation with his own Father,” Liew has written. What makes the heterodox perspectives of Professor Liew all the more scandalous at this Jesuit institution is that they are not reserved for some obscure graduate seminar, but are offered to undergraduates. In his prestigious role as chair of New Testament, Professor Liew often teaches “New Testament,” the College’s primary New Testament class. Moreover, the “position and prestige which accompany an endowed chair in Religious Studies testify to the esteem in which his work is held by the College’s administration and academic community,” Ms. Reilly observes. “He continues to be held up as an example and a bold successor to the learned and discerning tradition of our Catholic and Jesuit College of the Holy Cross.” Professor Liew was appointed to the endowed Chair of New Testament Studies, a distinguished professorship associated with the Religious Studies department, in 2013, having taught previously at the Pacific School of Theology and Chicago Theological Seminary. The College of the Holy Cross, founded in 1843 and located in Worcester, Massachusetts, proclaims that its “Jesuit, Catholic identity has remained a constant” throughout its history, “informing and influencing everything we do.” The Fenwick Review, which ran Ms. Reilly’s article, is billed as “The Independent Journal of Opinion at the College of the Holy Cross,” and “strives to promote intellectual freedom and progress on campus,” according to its mission statement. The staff of the journal “takes pride in defending traditional Catholic principles and conservative ideas, and does its best to articulate thoughtful alternatives to the dominant campus ethos,” it states. source

ONE WORLD: Evangelicals Join Interfaith Leaders In Washington To Create A ‘Multi-Religious Body’ To Bring About ‘World Peace’!

New post on Now The End Begins

ONE WORLD: Evangelicals Join Interfaith Leaders In Washington To Create A ‘Multi-Religious Body’ To Bring About ‘World Peace’ by Geoffrey Grider As hundreds of Jewish, Muslim and Christian faith leaders from the United States and abroad descended on Washington for a conference on religious tolerance this week, attendees were quick to note an unexpectedly large delegation from one particular religious group: evangelical Christians. "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Revelation 13:11 (KJV) EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the many spiritually deadly legacies of evangelist Billy Graham is the embracing of ecumenism, the idea that the Christian church can free mix and mingle itself with various assortments of differing world religions and 'work together'. It cannot, and remain true to it's calling to preach the gospel of the grace of God that Paul tells us about. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is not "a way", or an "expression of truth", the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to the absolute exclusion of all other forms of faith and practice. The ecumenical movement comes from Rome, who the Bible says will create the One World Religion during the time of Jacob's trouble. What you're seeing here is the dress rehearsal for that day. Speakers at the "Alliance of Virtue for the Common Good" repeatedly highlighted their surprise and delight over the noticeable contingent of evangelicals among the more than 400 attendees at the glitzy, three-day series of discussions and speeches. The presence of so many evangelicals, a group often associated with a negative view of Islam, provided a welcome backdrop for an event aimed at championing tolerance, many said. Hamza Yusuf, president of Zaytuna College, America's first accredited Muslim college, said the evangelical presence was especially notable given recent polling: According to a 2017 poll from Pew Research, nearly three-quarters of white evangelicals say there is a natural conflict between Islam and democracy, compared with roughly half or fewer of those in other major religious groups who express the same view. The false teachings of Billy Graham paved the way to merge Christianity with the world's religions Our story on the false teachings of Billy Graham, published on the day he died, made some people pretty mad, but now maybe you can see why we did it. Graham virtually created the ecumenical movement single-handedly as a result of his alliance with the Vatican and the pope. Many in the world will embrace the coming One World Religion as a result of Graham's "evangelism".  White evangelicals were also the major religious group most supportive of President Trump's 2017 travel ban — sometimes called a "Muslim ban" — barring immigrants and refugees from several Muslim-majority countries, according to a 2017 survey from the Public Religion Research Institute. "The evangelicals coming took great courage, because of a lot of the attitudes within that community," Yusuf told Religion News Service on Feb. 7, the conference's last day. "The evangelicals coming took great courage, because of a lot of the attitudes within that community." — Hamza YusufAt one point, Bob Roberts, an evangelical pastor at Northwood Church in Keller, Texas, asked evangelicals in the crowd to clap if they were excited about the conference and its message. "This is new for us — it shouldn't be new for us," he said over the applause. "I'm not a Muslim, but I just really care about religious freedom. … The tribal way we are doing religion today is going to destroy us." In a separate interview with RNS, Roberts said the "older, higher levels" of evangelicalism are unlikely to embrace the message of the conference, because they "have an old worldview." But he argued that younger evangelicals have "realized the world has shifted" and that the conference is a model for future efforts to protect religious liberty. "Here's something that's really problematic about how we think about religious freedom: We get Christians together and say, 'Here's how we're going to do it.' That day is over," he said. "If we don't have conversations on religious freedom with Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews — they're wasted conversations." Deborah Fikes, a Texas-based Southern Baptist and former permanent representative from the World Evangelical Alliance to the United Nations, also discussed the challenges of interfaith work among conservative Christian groups. "Growing up, Catholics were criticized, Muslims were criticized … the Methodists were criticized. … It was always such a focus on our differences," she said during a Wednesday panel. "Yes, there are definitely obstacles [to tolerance] for evangelicals because of that culture." Fikes said that in her U.N. work, she observed that American military actions abroad can foster negative perceptions, especially when conflated with the belief that the U.S. is a "Christian nation." She expressed concern that the "conservative political party's policies" in the U.S. are "really hurting the most vulnerable," pointing to evangelical support for the Trump administration's recent decision to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel — despite widespread objection among Middle Eastern Christians. "I know that conservative Christians … are so passionate about protecting Christian minorities in the Middle East, but that one decision has greatly harmed and compromised the Christian minorities we want to protect," she said. The conference also touted its declaration, released Thursday, at the end of the gathering. "Recognizing that our shared values are more important than our differences, and that we are strongest when we act together, we pledge to combine our best efforts to foster unity where there is discord, aid the impoverished, tend the vulnerable, heal the poor in spirit, and support measures that will ensure respect for the dignity of every human being," the declaration reads in part. It later adds: "There is no room for compulsion in religion, just as there are no legitimate grounds for excluding the followers of any religion from full and fair participation in society." "This is new for us — it shouldn't be new for us." — Bob RobertsIn addition, the statement, referred to as the "Washington Declaration," called for concrete steps: serving a billion meals to victims of violence and conflict and proposing the creation of a "multireligious body" that would "support mediation and reconciliation that will act in accordance with our shared values to build peace in the world." "I recommend we create an alliance from our religious traditions … to be a mediating team for reconciliation between conflicting groups," Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, president of the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies and a driving force behind the gathering, said to the crowd while speaking through a translator. During the same panel, Rabbi David Rosen, international director for the American Jewish Committee's Department of Interreligious Affairs, described the event as "an incredibly historic gathering that sets the stage for a new era." Other participants included Bishop Efraim Tendero, secretary-general of the World Evangelical Alliance; Timo Soini, minister for foreign affairs of Finland; and Rabbi David Saperstein, director emeritus of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. The declaration did not mention Trump's travel ban, and it was not clear how many attendees — if any — hailed from the Muslim-majority countries listed in the most recent iteration of the ban: Syria, Iran, Chad, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. source

THE DICTATOR POPE!! The Vatican Hires High-Powered Global Law Firm To Punish And Silence All Critics Of Pope Francis!!

New post on Now The End Begins

INQUISITION: The Vatican Hires High-Powered Global Law Firm To Punish And Silence All Critics Of Pope Francis by Geoffrey Grider The Vatican has taken new measures to punish critics of Pope Francis in a move that seems to belie the pope’s earlier calls for greater dialogue and debate within the Church. "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." Revelation 17:3-5 (KJV) EDITOR'S NOTE: How anyone can possibly think that the multi-tentacled beast that is the Catholic Church cum Vatican system could ever be the Church that Jesus started is beyond mind boggling. The Vatican is absolutely what Revelation declares her to be, the Whore of Babylon who seduces all the kings of the earth to enrich herself. All popes since 325 AD have been political rulers of a Roman system that is encapsulated in the country known as Vatican City. Pope Francis is a political leader with a political agenda, and he rules the Vatican with an iron fist. Now Francis has dispatched global law firm of Baker McKenzie to attack and silence his critics, just like any other CEO of a major corporation would do.  On Thursday, the Rome-based Sovereign Order of Malta, which reports directly to the Holy See, suspended historian Henry Sire after he was revealed to be the author of the bestselling book The Dictator Pope: The Inside Story of the Francis Papacy, a critical examination of the pontificate of Pope Francis. Meanwhile the Vatican has hired the international law firm of Baker McKenzie to force a small Spanish website called InfoVaticana.com to close its doors, allegedly for its sometimes critical tone toward aspects of the Francis papacy. The firm recently threatened a lawsuit if Infovaticana isn’t shut down and “its internet domain transferred to the Vatican.” The Order of Malta announced its decision Wednesday to suspend the British historian Henry Sire, a member of the order, calling his book a “vile attack” on Pope Francis. “Following the press articles reporting the name of the author of the book ‘The Dictator Pope’ the Grand Magistry of the Order of Malta has taken the decision to suspend Henry Sire, author of the book and member of the Order of Malta. The provisional suspension from membership has immediate effect and an investigation is being launched,” it said in a statement. In January, 2017, the Vatican took control of the Knights of Malta after ousting its Grand Master Matthew Festing for his “defiance of papal authority.” The pope asked Festing to resign following a dispute over sovereignty with the Vatican, replacing him with papal delegate Archbishop Angelo Becciu as interim leader of the order. Under the pen name Marcantonio Colonna, Sire published The Dictator Pope electronically in November of 2017, first in Italian and then in English, after spending a four-year residence with the Knights of Malta in Rome from 2013 to 2017, during which time he conducted his research for the book. Only on Monday did Sire acknowledge that he was the author of the book. In it, Sire portrayed Francis as an authoritarian leader who does not brook opposition or criticism. Contrary to his public persona as a jovial man of the people, Sire wrote that Francis has turned out to be “a papal tyrant the like of whom has not been seen for many centuries” and under his administration, “the Vatican is systematically silencing, eliminating and replacing critics of the Pope’s views.” “When the publicity cameras are off him, Pope Francis turns into a different figure: arrogant, dismissive of people, prodigal of bad language and notorious for furious outbursts of temper which are known to everyone from the cardinals to the chauffeurs,” he declared. Unfortunately for the Vatican, the immediate suspension of Sire from the Order of Malta will play as a confirmation of the author’s allegations that under Francis the Holy See deals swiftly and ruthlessly to eliminate those it views as enemies. Attacks on Infovaticana.org have seemed to follow a similar pattern. As the Associated Press (AP) reported, many commercial websites use the Vatican name, and yet the only one that has come under fire from the Holy See has been infovaticana, which would seem to confirm statements by the website’s founder, Gabriel Ariza, that the Vatican is deliberately targeting his site because of disagreement with its content. Ariza has called the Vatican’s measures a “political witch hunt.” Vatican spokesman Greg Burke has denied these allegations, saying that the dispute with Infovaticana “is not a matter of ideology or freedom of expression, but one of officialdom.” Other sites and outlets that have “Vatican” in their name include Vatican.com, a news portal and travel site; the Vatican Insider, a religion site with its pages published by the Italian daily La Stampa; and Inside the Vatican, a monthly magazine that publishes both print and digital editions. None of these other sites have been asked to change their names, charged with copyright infringement, or threatened with lawsuits, which makes the case of Infovaticana.com something of an anomaly. ANTICHRIST: POPE FRANCIS TELLS CATHOLICS IN ROME THAT A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH JESUS IS ‘DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL’ According to the AP, some people within the church have been angered by “content opposing abortion, same-sex marriages and adoptions by gays and lesbians,” which, on the other hand, tends to square with official Catholic teaching on these matters. Spain’s trademark office ruled last year that Infovaticana had infringed copyright by featuring the gold and white colors of the Vatican flag and the crossed keys of St. Peter in its masthead, after which the website removed these symbols. Now the Holy See has turned its attention to the name of the website. Ariza said that the Vatican’s law firm has rejected all efforts to reach an amicable agreement, noting that “we have already taken down previous logos and other vestiges that can relate us to the Vatican, but they just want to shut us down.” Breitbart News has obtained a copy of one of the letters sent by Baker McKenzie, which, on behalf of the Holy See, insists that the owners of the portal “immediately transfer the domain name of www.infovaticana.com to the Secretary of State (or to whomever they designate).” If this does not happen, the letter warns, the Vatican is prepared to exercise “all the legal actions at its disposal” to stop the use of the name and to obtain “the due indemnification for damages suffered and legal costs incurred.” On its own website, Baker McKenzie has announced “record global revenues of $2.67 billion” for its most recent fiscal year. This past February, Pope Francis explained his approach to dealing with opposition and criticism. “I cannot deny that these resistances exist. I see them and I know them,” the pope said. “There are doctrinal resistances. For my mental health I do not read the websites of this so-called ‘resistance.’ I know who they are, I know the groups, but I do not read them, simply for my mental health. When there is something very serious, people inform me so that I know. It is displeasing, but we must move on.” The pope said that his response to opposition depends on the good faith he perceives in those who are opposing him. “When I perceive opposition, I try to dialogue, when dialogue is possible; but some resistance comes from people who believe they have the true doctrine and accuse you of being a heretic,” he said. “When I do not find spiritual goodness in these people, because of what they say or write, I simply pray for them. It pains me, but I don’t dwell on it, for the sake of my mental health.” source

"THE UK ISLAMISATION IS NOW AT FULL SPEED AHEAD" BY JUDITH BERGMAN FROM "THE GATESTONE INSTITUTE"!!

UK: Islamization Full Speed Ahead

by Judith Bergman  •  March 24th 

• This is how Islamization occurs and is made permanent: Other schools will think carefully of the risks before they even attempt to "limit the Islamization process".
• It is virtually impossible for "Islamophobia" to be "underreported" in London. The UK is nothing, if not clinically obsessed with "Islamophobia". In 2016, London mayor Sadiq Khan's Office for Policing and Crime announced it was spending £1.7 million taxpayer money policing speech online.
• British police have even been taking lessons about Islam and "Islamophobia" from radical Islamist groups such as Mend. One of the most active Mend figures, Azad Ali, has said that he has "love" for Anwar Al-Awlaki, an influential US-born Islamic terrorist, who was killed by a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The UK is accelerating its Islamization at an ever-increasing speed. The desire of the British establishment to submit to Islam appears to be overwhelming.

In a recent report, the Henry Jackson society exposed how the UK used taxpayer funds to support Islamist charities working against British society to the tune of more than six million pounds in 2017 alone. According to the report, "As the case studies in this report are illustrative rather than comprehensive, it is likely that this sum represents only the tip of the iceberg". The report concludes, "Until more comprehensive action is taken, a network of Islamist extremists operating in the UK will continue to use charities and taxpayer money to fund the spread of divisive, illiberal and intolerant views within our communities".

Turkey Newspaper Yeni Safak Calls For A Global ‘Army Of Islam’ To Come Against Israel And Take Jerusalem

New post on Now The End Begins

Turkey Newspaper Yeni Safak Calls For A Global ‘Army Of Islam’ To Come Against Israel And Take Jerusalem by Geoffrey Grider When Turkey’s semi-official newspaper Yeni Safak called for urgent action in forming a 57-nation “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack Israel, a suggestion undoubtedly approved with at least a wink and nod by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it would signal the possible intent to create the largest military force on the planet – one nearly as large as the total population of the Jewish state. "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJV) EDITOR'S NOTE: The astute student of Bible prophecy knows something that almost none of the world's leaders who constantly try to bring peace to the Middle East are aware of. There can be no peace, and there will be no peace in the Middle East without deciding the fate of Jerusalem. Why all the fuss over Jerusalem? Because that is where the King of Kings will return to when He rules and reigns for one thousand years on the Throne of David. The entire Battle of Armageddon will be fought over who has the right to Jerusalem, and the global army of Islam will be the muscle behind the Antichrist for the time of Jacob's trouble.  The report came just ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and was published under the headline, “What if an Army of Islam was formed against Israel?” It was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute. But it wasn’t a rhetorical question. It was actually a suggestion to combine the military forces of all Islamic countries to overwhelm the Israeli army in manpower, budget and equipment – even boasting with statistics. On December 12, 2017, ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, which is close to Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party, published an article titled “A Call for Urgent Action,” which also appeared on the paper’s website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?” The article called on the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack the state of Israel. It notes that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this. It also advocates establishing joint bases for the army’s ground, air and naval forces that will arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel, while noting that Pakistan, as the only nuclear country, has “a special status” among the OIC countries. An interactive map provides information on military forces stationed in various locations and the role they can play in the potential joint Muslim attack on Israel. Much of the information in the article was provided by Turkey’s SADAT International Defense and Consulting Company, which provides consultancy on defense and warfare, both conventional and unconventional, and on military organization, training and gear. The company promotes pan-Islamic military cooperation. According to its mission statement, it seeks “to establish defense collaboration and defense industry cooperation among Islamic countries, to help the Islamic world take its rightful place among the superpowers by providing … strategic consultancy and training services to the militaries and homeland security forces of Islamic countries.” The SADAT company was founded by Erdoğan’s senior adviser on military affairs, retired General Adnan Tanrıverdi, and is chaired by his son, Melih Tanrıverdi. Adnan Tanrıverdi served in the Turkish army’s artillery corps and is an expert on asymmetric warfare. He was dismissed from the Turkish military in 1996 for his Islamist leanings. In the report, Israel is described as “the outpost of the new Crusade and a dagger in the heart of Islam,” and “the eyes, ears and fist of the Christian World.” “If the OIC member states unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world,” the newspaper report said. “These countries’ total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100. Their [overall] military defense budget, of $174.7 billion, is also worthy of emphasis.” It continues by contrasting the size of this potential Islamic force with Israel’s military capabilities. “As for Israel, it is significantly inferior,” the report said. “The population of this country, which attempted to occupy Jerusalem while surrounded by Muslim states, is 8,049,314. Note that the population of Istanbul alone exceeds 14 million. The number of soldiers in active service in the [Israeli] occupation forces is 160,000, and [Israel’s] defense budget is approximately $15.6 billion. The report suggested the formation of a “Jerusalem Task Group” to take steps to form an Islamic army that would besiege Israel. “In a possible military operation, the first step is expected to involve 250,000 soldiers, and the establishment of joint land, air and naval bases for use in the short term,” explained the report. It would include the mobilization of 500 tanks and armored vehicles, 100 war planes, 500 attack helicopters and 50 warships and submarines. Interactive maps provided information on specific bases and operations against Israel. “Turkey will serve as an important headquarters during the operation, due to its land, air and naval infrastructures,” the report continued. “The Turkish army, which carried out ‘Operation Euphrates Shield’ [in Syria in 2017] with great success, is now ranked the world’s seventh strongest army, and the second largest army among the NATO powers. Turkey has approximately 4,000 tanks and 1,000 war planes and other aircraft. Its navy made significant progress during the last years, with 194 vessels at its disposal.” The report also noted Pakistan, with its nuclear arsenal, “has important status among the 57 Muslim countries.” In a statement, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein described President Donald Trump’s Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as a blow to Muslims, and added: “The Malaysian armed forces are ready to fulfill their duty regarding Jerusalem.” source

TWO GREAT MEN RAISED UP "FOR A TIME LIKE THIS" - BUT AS THE FLACK INCREASES HOW LONG CAN BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND DONALD TRUMP HANG ON?

New post on Now The End Begins

As Israel Rapidly Approaches 70th Anniversary, The Man Who Fought For An Undivided Jerusalem For Israel May Soon Be Gone by Geoffrey Grider I feel that the freight train of Bible prophecy is about to collide with current events in such a way that is going to knock this world for a loop, maybe two or three. "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land." Joel 3:1,2 (KJV) The importance of Jerusalem to the nation of Israel in the end times cannot be overstated, for it is the fabric on which the bulk of Bible prophecy hangs. Read carefully the two verses from the book of Joel quoted above, and you will see some very important things related to the last days. The importance of Israel having a leader like Benjamin Netanyahu who, despite whatever his faults may be, has devoted his entire public life to the preservation of an undivided Jerusalem for the Jewish people. Do you think that's a coincidence that he is the leader God has given the Jews leading up to May 14, 2018? Do you think that it's also a coincidence that as Netanyahu finally gets an American president who is staunchly on his side, and fighting for Jerusalem for the Jews, that both he and Trump's reigns are teetering on the brink of collapse? Listen to what Newsweek has to say about Netanyahu, Trump and Jerusalem in the March 23rd issue: "When Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington earlier this month, it should have been a political triumph, a moment of exultation. For most of his 12 years in power, the hawkish Israeli prime minister was forced to work with presidents who despised him, left-leaning Democrats who talked about settlements and Palestinian statehood. Now, he has Donald Trump. Their March 5 meeting at the White House was the first since the U.S. announced plans to relocate the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem this spring. Israeli politicians had long demanded the move; Netanyahu was the one to deliver it. Ever the flatterer, he compared Trump to Cyrus, the Persian ruler who freed his Jewish subjects 2,500 years ago and let them return to Jerusalem." source Yitzhak Rabin wanted to divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state. God allowed him to be shot and killed by one of his own people on November 4, 1995. Ariel Sharon wanted to divide the land to create a Palestinian state, and God allowed him to be taken down by a stroke in 2006 and eventually die in a coma. So along comes Benjamin Netanyahu who insists on an undivided Jerusalem for Israel, and he becomes the second-longest serving leader they have had. But with May 14th, 2018 now less than 8 weeks away, Netanyahu's world is crumbling and so is Trump's. The more I ponder on all this, the more I become convinced that the only reason God allowed Trump to win was to move that Embassy to Jerusalem to trigger events yet unknown but absolutely related to the end times. I feel that the freight train of Bible prophecy is about to collide with current events in such a way that is going to knock this world for a loop, maybe two or three. The "those days" of Joel's prophecy are yet future, but their fulfillment is going to be sooner and not later. So with regard to Joel's prophecy of the time of Jacob's trouble, please note the following bullet points. ISRAEL TO BE SCATTERED ONE MORE TIME: Rising from the ashes of the Holocaust, the phrase 'Never Again' shows the determination of the Jewish people to never again allow themselves to be oppressed and driven out of their land. But as the prophet Joel points out, they will be driven out and persecuted as a nation one more time. After 70 AD, the Jews were scattered to the 'four corners' of the globe. In the time of Jacob's trouble they will be driven to the red rock city of Selah Petra. “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:20-23 (KJV) JERUSALEM TO BE DIVIDED: Joel tells us that the final days before the Second Coming at the Battle of Armageddon, Jerusalem has already been divided. Joel lists this as one the main things responsible for God convening all the nations of the world to face the King of Kings in the Valley of Megiddo. It is a theme repeated by nearly half a dozen of the Old Testament prophets. So ask  yourself this, if God is willing to stage the entire Battle of Armageddon because Jerusalem was  divided, how important is Jerusalem going to be on May 14, 2018? "Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy." Zephaniah 3:8 (KJV) I don't know if Benjamin Netanyahu is guilty, innocent, partly guilty, or any combination thereof and frankly, I don't care If it all ends today, Benjamin Netanyahu has had a storybook career as leader of the world's only holy land. Like President Trump in America, he has survived all challenges and beaten all the odds time and time again. When Netanyahu won again in 2015, it was referred to by many in Israel as an 'open miracle'. I believe that God has allowed both Netanyahu and Trump to lead their respective countries exactly for "such a time as this", and to set events in place that will trigger the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. “For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:10 (KJV) I believe that sometime in the month of May, both these long-simmering events and recent developments are going to come to a boil, and that the God of Abraham is going to insert Himself yet again into the greatest story ever told. The story of the coming King, and the Kingdom prepared for Him from before the foundations of the world.
