The Sovereign State of Israel says they will not negotiate with this devil Yasser Arafat. Our Prime Minister has declared him irreverent. This Jew killing monster has been proven time and time again to be not only an enemy to the Jews and the State of Israel but to the entire civilized world. He has been run out of the surrounding Arab Nations and forced into exile by Lebanon, and Jordan in the recent past, and Egypt will not allow these people who call themselves Palestinians to even come there. Yet Colin Powell comes to Israel as our guest and then goes against the policy of Israel and he and Shimon Peres tries once again to save this devil so he can one day to do us more harm.
In the Gulf War Yasser Arafat joined Saddam Hussein in murdering other Arabs, and today he has purchased one of Saddam Hussein's mansions as a place to go into exile when the time comes. And today the PLO Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel, which is never brought up in the UN. When over two thirds of all the resolutions passed in the UN are against Israel.
Before 1917 when the British took control of Jerusalem from the Turks there was not only no such people as Palestinians there were very few Arabs on this land called Israel today. In fact, they didn't start calling themselves Palestinians until after the 6 Day War in 1967. This land was named Palestine by the Romans who did it as an insult to the Jews and in an attempt to strip it of any Jewish Identity. But the truth still remains that for more than 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been the capitol of the Jewish people. In fact, no other people on earth have ever called it their capitol but the Jewish people. King David, not Mohammed founded the city of Jerusalem, Jews always pray facing Jerusalem, and Moslems pray facing Mecca, while turning their backs to Jerusalem. In the Bible the name Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times, and never mentioned once in the Koran.
As Bible Believing, God fearing people, who read the Word of God, we know that in the end times Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling. Zechariah 12:2. We also know that God will gather "ALL" nations against Jerusalem to battle, we also read in Zechariah 14:2b and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. It is now becoming obvious that the half of the city mentioned here is East Jerusalem, or the Old City. But for those who think they will escape the wrath of God because they are not in Jerusalem should read Zechariah 12:9-10: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced...
We are about to see the great and mighty hand of God as it not only comes down and purges and makes pure His people Israel, but we will see His judgment of all the nations that come against His people. But the part that interests me the most is "and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced" for I believe this is why I am here as are many others. God has and is placing certain Jewish Believers throughout this land for a revival among the Jewish people, and He (God) is choosing those to be a blessing to Israel throughout His Kingdom. (Gen. 12:3) No doubt there will be hell to pay before it happens, but we will be left standing and when the smoke clears God's Word will go forth from Jerusalem, and they (my precious Jewish people) will look upon Him whom we have pierced. Glory to God, I just have to stop and shout.
So even with the evil acts of many men, I can see in this visit of Colin Powell, and the double standards of President Bush in regards to Israel and Terrorism the Hand of God. I know it is the God I serve who is in control. But make no mistake about it, Bush and Powell will bring judgment down on the heads of those who live in the United States, and it shall rain on the just and the unjust alike.
The Devil has unleashed his religions weapon "Islam" on the world and it is now working full force on a global basis. Yasser Arafat is but one of his tools to destroy the "people of the Book" Jews and Christians around the world. Yasser Arafat is filled with the spirit of anti-Christ and he is preparing the way for the one that will be called the Anti-Christ. Time is running very short for us to be about the Father's business, to put aside all our foolishness and to give all that we are and have acquired to serve and too bless God.
I woke this morning an hour early at 4:00 o'clock to read the Word and pray, as we have a big day ahead of us, and will be traveling here in Israel. I am blessed to have [my son] Joel with me today, if you should get this in time, we would appreciate your prayers. Also for this car to keep running until we are able to purchase one more reliable.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel, for this Ministry and your part in it. [Emphasis Added]
Shalom,

The Golden Report from Israel
A Vision 10-6-01! Pray before reading
>Sure it has. There are two nations formed by a gathering out of the nations. Both are front and center on the world stage. The state of Israel, and the one called in Hebrew, the "lands of the covenant".
Thanks for that great photo!
You're BOTH correct. Now KISS and Makeup. -ggg-
An excellent point. It becomes important in verses like this:
Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel."
The name House of Israel was assigned to the Northern Kingdom as part of their Eternal Heritage, and it was never Jewish. Therefore, this is NOT a command to go first to Jews.
The House of Israel became The Lost Tribes of Israel who over 600 years earlier had won their freedom from the Assyrians. These now over 5 MILLION Israelites (Lost Tribes) moved out quickly to the West and North where they became known to history as The CELTS. It was to these non-Jewish CELTS in Galatia, etc., that Jesus first sent his 12 apostles.
The Northern Kingdom Israelites were not Jews. But they were also never called Gentiles. They were simply the The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. And all the promises they received as Israelites were, and are, still good today.
Was King Solomon a Hebrew? If not. What was King Solomon?
And now I'll go check your profile.
Yes, King Solomon was both a Hebrew and an Israelite.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
And...
Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isaiah 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Isaiah 4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Isaiah 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
This goes without saying. We are under Grace now instead of the Law.
However, this does not mean that God has not kept his covenant with Jacob. That covenant still stands.
Ezekiel 37 being interpreted as having already occurred makes no sense. I have noticed CI types who insist that this is the case. Quite the contrary. Look at the verses about the "sticks." Israel, Judea becoming one again, and being repopulated from the Children of Jacob that were dispersed throughout the entire world.
And neither was Moses, right? How moronic.
Thanks for your patience with me. Are not Hebrews, Jews, and Israelites (geographics and kingdoms aside) one and the same people? The same people referred to in the Bible as G-d's chosen?
Nobody was a Jew. There was no such thing. The Torah is the history of the Vietnamese. Please no post-lobotomy posts...very irritating.
Before there was Arminius there was Aquinas and Pelagius. Before there was Aquinas and Pelagius, there was Adam and Eve.
Before there was Calvinist and Luther there was Augustine. Before there was Augustine there was Jesus Christ.
the_doc invites you to: " ... come visit on the Genesis 3 Thread in which I am slowly carefully developing a proof that Arminianism is the Lie of Eden."
Jews are certainly Israelites and Hebrews, Yes. But not all Hebrews are Israelites, and not all Israelites are Jews.
Therefore, the "chosen" people of God are Israelites. Since Jews are Israelites they qualify. So do all the other Israelites, which far outnumber the Jews. Therefore the claimed Jewish exclusivity which is the source of so much gastric acidity is not really so exclusive after all, and certainly not worth generating so much hatred over.
I have always believed that it is this fundamental spiritual alliance because of our commonality of faith that is at the root of our commitment to Israel although I am sure there are many in this country that have no memory or even knowledge of that fact. I actually feared under Clinton that that line might be crossed because he was such a shameless blasphemer in so much that he did. It does not behoove us ally ourselves in any way to the enemies of Israel.
I cut and paste that paragraph in my reply to PI-Matchett because I wanted him to clarify his position. Please see my #130 and #131. The reason I am trying to clarify his position is because he posted #16 which includes this paragraph: (which I reject) 1. The present-day nation of Israel is no more involved in God's plans for the future than is France, England, Germany, the United States, etc. The teaching of the New Testament is very clear - Jesus fulfilled everything pertaining to Israel and formed the New Israel, His church
yet, he claims he doesn't believe in Replacement Theology. Well, if "His church" is the "New Israel", and there is no future plan for the "Old Israel", then it is six of one and a half dozen of another.
Let me state for the record:
The assertion that The present-day nation of Israel is no more involved in God's plans for the future than is France, England, Germany, the United States, etc.IS FALSE.
The assertion that: Jesus fulfilled everything pertaining to Israel and formed the New Israel, His church.IS FALSE.
"Yup! that makes sense"
I thought that was a most appropriate "typo" too.
Before there was Calvinist and Luther there was Augustine. Before there was Augustine there was Jesus Christ.
And I only care to read the writings of one of them. (Hint, he was from the Tribe of Jewdah.)
Is there going to be another physical Temple rebuilt in Jerusalem? The New Testament clearly states that believers in Christ are the Temple of God; the final view of the physical (carnal) Temple of the Old Covenant nation of the Jews was foretold by Christ to be destroyed; it was, circa A.D. 70.
The kingdom was to be taken from the Jews and given to others; it was, and now the covenant people of God are those that have their faith in Jesus Christ, whether ethnically Jewish or Gentile. National Israel rejected her covenant with God, rejected her Messiah, and ultimately rejected God Himself.
*_____ There is no special significance to the modern secular state of "Israel," which is [a] utterly contemptous of Christ; [b] is overwhelming atheistic in belief; [c] ethnically, they are German, Polish, English, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Kazaharian, etc....but biological, lineal descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Biologically doubtful, theological irrelevant as regards New Testament belief. _____*
"The mark of the beast is a counterfeit for the seal of God's name on the saints (7:2-8; 14:1; Ezek, 9). The beast owns those who are marked, and they are his slaves. Speculations about a visible mark miss the main point of the spiritual distinction between the two groups" (New Geneva Study Bible study notes for Rev. 13:16 Thomas Nelson, 1995), p. 2023.
