PUBLIC STATEMENT OF ALARM

Posted on Monday 7 January 2008

In the light of God’s warning to the nations through His prophet Joel that He will one day bring them to judgment for dividing the land He repeatedly vowed to give to just one nation - His own beloved and Chosen People - it is appalling to read Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s expressed belief that he can almost see the hand of God behind the crazy idea* being pushed upon Israel by the nations of the world: that a 23rd Muslim Arab state - Palestine - be established in the heart of this already tiny little land.

As you must know, Mr. Olmert, this is not the advice of friends but of self-serving politicians who are afraid or unable to withstand the immense pressures of the whole Muslim world (of more than 40 nations) and also the millions of Muslims within their own borders. No, this is not the kind advice of friends, but unconscionable exploitation for reasons of expediency. And it is certainly not the hand of God behind all this pressure, but the sinister influence of your combined enemies-or should we say, the Enemy?

Therefore, together with millions of Christians who are true friends of Israel, and in faithfulness to what the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem declared at its opening on October 15, 1981, pledging its “support and untiring international effort for the unification of Israel’s land and Israel’s capital Jerusalem,” we call upon you both - Mr. George W. Bush and Mr. Ehud Olmert - to cease forthwith your attempt to placate Israel’s enemies with a 23rd state of their own, thereby facilitating the demise of this young courageous nation, to the judgment of all those responsible for pushing Israel down this totally treacherous road.

* The revelation, on the same day as Mr. Olmert’s statement, that two official PA policemen murdered two Israeli hikers in the last week of 2007, using weapons issued under Israel’s supervision as part of the “peace process,” is only the latest proof of the foolishness of this idea.

    Dear Stan

    My heart weeps for us - the Nations of the World - for the horrors about to be unleashed upon it for defying God and seeking to exterminate Israel, because that is the only result of dividing Jerusalem, - and for Israel as so many of her own people do not know their God. I will continue in prayer for Israel, her safety and unity, even as I wait to see the prophecies of old unroll before my living eyes. Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus.

    Dear Stan,

    We must continue to pray without ceasing for both nations. The weather here in the states has been wicked to say the lest since November 29th. God continues to warn but how much longer. Please we also need to keep Bill Koening in our prayers. He is an Evangelical Christian who is a member of the White House press corps. He will be traveling with the President and Secretary of State on this trip. That he has the opportunity to speak to either one or both about dividing God”s land. He has written a book about it and knows full well what is at stake in dividing God’s land. We need to offer in Prayer Psalm 83 these next few days and everyday after.

    COME LORD JESUS

    It isn’t as though many of the 49 muslim ‘nations ‘ haven’t already received some form of aid - whether monetary, social, political, etc.

    It will, in fact, Never, be enough until the entire world is ruled by muslims. Ignoring an Islamophobe label, may in fact lead to one’s death by an avid jihadist. Attacks by muslims and their advocates are on every hand - both verbalizing their desire for sharia, stedfastly slandering Israel and his GOD, and manipulating the media and public thru manipulation, intimidation and ‘re-education.’

    It may be as Shoebat thinks - that the only global religion that practices beheading is not coincidental with the prophetic insight given to John regarding the death of HIS saints.

    Nevertheless, JHWH ELOHIM uses even snow, hail, wind, spirits and men - to Accomplish HIS Will …. on earth, as it is in Heaven. HIS Covenant with Abraham to and through HIS SEED Shall Be Performed, according to HIS Faithfulness - reaching Higher than the the Constellations.

    I just do not believe that God will allow this to happen. Jerusalem will not be divided. It’s angering God enough that any land of Israel’s be given away for a false peace. But when it comes down to Jerusalem, I truly believe HE will step in and stop it. Whatever it takes, HE will stop it.

    Bill Koening gave Pres. Bush a copy of his book “Eye to Eye”, a couple of years ago. Bush has heard the warnings repeatedly from Jews and Christians alike. He just doesn’t seem to take the warnings seriously. What I can’t figure is, how can he NOT take God’s Word seriously?!
    He claims to be a born again christian.

    ACTIONS SPEAKER LOUDER THEN WORDS MR. BUSH!

    All believers here in the USA better be prepared for the consequenses due to the actions of our president. God is not pleased with this nation as it is because of her many sins. But messing with Israel as Bush is doing… could be the last straw.

    For over a month, I have felt such a spirit of heaviness, all I have been able to do is weep…..it comes like a river….then I get a little break and it is back again. All of us who know the LORD realize the urgency of this time…..

    We can have no other recourse but to continue to pray and fast—and believe that our God…the Most High God, will somehow, someway, perform a miracle for the Nation of Israel. We must believe that the great I AM will intervene and Israel will somehow gain a great victory…..We must believe that Olmert and his administration will be brought down by the Most High God.

    As for America, and I am an American….I pray God’s mercies on innocent children; on the elderly; on the infirm; on innocent animals; and on each and everyone of us who have stood for and with Israel. May God’s mercies and His grace overshadow us as He sends judgment on America. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. amen and amen

    We need to be God’s prophets now… those of us who know the Word and have understanding, need to spread the word that it is His judgment falling upon this nation. We need to be bold and courageous and take a stand for what we know to be true and right about the Nation of Israel. The day is coming when God will judge His people for their sins, but we need to stand on the side of truth and pray that the veil be lifted from their eyes, for it is through the Nation of Israel that all nations will eventually be blessed. Our own nation is becoming divided more and more into two camps: those who believe the truth set forth in God’s Word, and those who believe man’s lies of replacement theology propagated by the emergent church leaders. Our country is in peril…spiritually, morally, and physically. My prayer is that we will to do our part to get the word out to anyone who will listen before it is too late.

    Thank You Marsha for your Faithfulness and your prayers. I too have been weeping. Steadily. For many do not know the hour or what is coming upon the world. And they have rejected the Truth.
    We were asked to learn the parable of the fig tree.
    Has anyone learned? Has anyone heard?
    Is the fig tree the ‘New Nation of Israel’ ? and just as her leaves are young, tender and green, her figs will drop prematurely before she has been allowed to ripen? Is this a prophecy?
    Oh YHWH, the time….the time is shortened. I acknowledge your Greatness and place my Trust in You. My Hope is in You; as my strength is in You.
    We know the temple round about will be trampled by the unbeliever. This time is coming.
    Our God is going to accomplish all things even through the deeds of the wicked. The trumpeters are doing their part. The watchmen on the walls are faithful. The warriors must wait for their marching orders. The prayers of the Saints are released as incense by the angel in the Throneroom of our God.
    Let us give Praise. He has heard our cries.

    S-HALOM, Stan
    I want to correct an error in your commentary , “Messaging Bush”
    concerning Jonathan Pollard.
    In the sentence which describes the reason that he
    has been incarcerated for more than 22 years..you wrote that
    Pollard was imprisoned for spying for Israel,.AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
    Jonathan Pollard DID NOT SPY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES!
    He passed information crucial to Israel’s survival which, as its often
    professed ally, the U.S. SHOULD HAVE GIVEN TO THE JEWISH STATE.!.
    His selfless act of courage also helped America to defear Saddam
    Hussein.
    It is therefore incumbent upon all friends and supporters of Israel to
    exert every effort to free Pollard and with G-D’S help, enable him to
    emigrate to Eretz Yisrael.
    With love of G-D and Israel

    The prayers of the righteous are being heard!. All these things that are happening in our world today, are happening so quick because this is in in answer to our prayer,.”Even so come quickly Lord Jesus”. Rev.22:20 We need to be of good cheer, for Jesus has everything under control. Judea and the West bank will fall into the hands of the enemy, and then when the enemy comes in for the final blow, to “Take Jerusalem”, the Lord will perform his word, St Luke 21:20 & 22 “…when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh, ….for these be the days of vengance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. Jesus needs us to live Holy and righteous lives in his sight, for only than will he acknowledge our travail in our watching and praying about” all these things that shall come to pass ” St Luke 21:36, we are a blessed people to be alive in these times!!

    Bush has never been a Christian, just pretended to be for votes; he indeed is a Muslim, since he converted on national TV at the 2001 Ramadan Dinner. Most Americans did not know what they were actually seeing ! The Bush family has for generations been FOR the Arabs and very anti-Israel and anti-America. Grandfather Bush (Prescott) supported Hitler in WW2. The Bushes (CFR members; secret societies asssociated with CFR) and their camp have one thing in mind - to destroy Israel without letting on that is their goal. WE need to pray for Bill Koenig’s protection. And for all the Ameicans who feel the punishment judgment for all the things Bush does to Israel (natural disasters). Bush has stated many times he does not believe in prophecy and in fact he really does not believe in the Bible at all. He carries the Qur’an, not the Bible. Bush has NEVER been a Christian. And Gaza is now a terrorist place since Bush forced Israel to hand it over ot the Arabs. And then God gave us Katrina as His response !

    My heart breaks for our President, and for Israel, yet our prayers are being heard by Yeshua! We must not be silent, and we must continue to pray, seek His face and His mercy and NOT GIVE UP OR FEAR! He is calling us to see who is willing to “stand” with His people–standing does not always mean on the ground as literal soldiers with guns, but fighting the principalities and powers of darkness. May He find us all watching and praying for the Peace of Jerusalem.

    Let us as believers in our Triune God remember that He holds us in the palm of His loving hand and i pray that we will never let anything or anyone separate us from this Truth.

    God please give us courage to be strong, faithful, fearless and ready as we witness all that is happening as we find our peace and rest in Thee. Amen & Amen.

    This comment from a weather forum states “Historic January tornadoes rake the Midwest”
    .
    http://blogs.trb.com/news/weather/weblog/wgnweather/2008/01/historic_january_tornadoes_rak.html
    .
    “Swarms of at least 30 tornadoes blasted portions of the Midwest from southwest Missouri to southeast Wisconsin Monday afternoon and evening, producing at least one fatality, numerous injuries and swaths of devastation. Prior to Monday, the state of Wisconsin had only one January twister on record, occurring near Janesville back in 1967, while the closest twister to northeast Illinois struck near Kankakee on January 24, 1950.
    All that changed in less than an hour on an unseasonably warm mid 60� January afternoon as a series of twisters inflicted major damage along a line from just north of Rockford to just west of Racine in southeast Wisconsin. At least three people were injured in Boone county where storm debris made roads impassible near Poplar Grove. Some of the worst damage was inflicted near New Munster, Wisconsin west of Kenosha where 12 homes were destroyed.”
    .
    Bush is in Israel pushing ahead with his Roadmap to Hell to divide Israel for gain. As America forced the occupation of Israel by Yassar Arafat, America will be occupied. As America forces the division of Israel, America will be divided. As Bush divides Israel and causes demolition of “settlements,” hurricanes start in the Midwest of America. Sow and reap. Pressed down, shaken together, multiplied. God will not be mocked. His judgments are in all the earth. Ps 105:7.

    Amen to all that has been said !

    My husband and I were told by the Lord last night to go on a Fast for the Peace of Jerusalem. These are the great and dreadful ‘days’ of the Lord it would seem. So exciting and so dreadful at the same time. The Spirit of the Lord is weeping in all of us.

    My husband and I both saw the heaven’s open and our Lord weeping only weeks ago. We saw it at the same time.

    HE is a MIGHTY and JUST GOD and will not tolerate the Apple of His Eye to be divided without intervention. ALL must come to pass ! Every word and tittle.

    One of the things that bothers me is that most inominal Christians do not even know what’s going on. They have no idea what’s going on in the SPIRIT or the NATURAL. Are unable to discern and put it together with the Word. Perhaps they are not grounded in the Word is why. They go about as though nothing is happening with lives BUSY in the world. Surely the body of Christ is in a SLUMBER. We, as watchman, must blow the trumpet to alert and warn at all COST ! Has the great DIVIDE begun ?

    GOD BE MAGNIGFIED AND GLORIFIED in all of these things. Our great God JEHOVAH ! THY WILL BE DONE on earth as it is in HEAVEN ! AMEN ! and
    AMEN !

    I agree with Nan. I have been involved with praying for Israel for approx. 17 years. During all this time, when I have had occasion to mention Israel to certain ones within the church (my church believes in Replacement Theology) it ’s as if a ‘glaze’ comes over their eyes and you know they’re not listening to anything you say.
    But THE WORD is eternal (the world is not) and it will accomplish all that God requires it to do. ALLELULIA.

He is mighty and mysterious in His ways.May the virgins keep oil in their lamps and stay awake and watch for the coming of the Bridegroom.

    Thanks, Teshuva, for the link. The funnel cloud formed above our neighborhood just north of Rockford and within two miles became a tornado that ripped through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Eerie, yet I chuckled to myself that Bush hadn’t yet landed in Israel! I learned something from a teacher of Torah the other day-Monday, in fact, that even when God judged the Hebrews and had them taken in captivity out of their land, they still had ownership of the land. God never, ever took away their rightful ownership of Israel, though they lost possession of it at certain times. The Land, all of it (which has yet to occur) belongs to the Israelites forever. This promise as yet remains to be fulfilled. In God’s sight it is, in ours it is still to be. God promised that He would bring the Jews back to their land and never again drive them out. Never again! I do not worry that Israel will ever be pushed into the Sea, but am concerned about the judgement of God on those who would ,no, who are, coming against her. Yes, bleak days are coming to Israel,but not defeat. God,bless Israel with quietness and rest, and let there be peace in Jerusalem. Prosper those who love her. Come, Lord Jesus, come! Amen.

    My heart weeps for Israel and the United States. The time is coming soon, when as an American I have to decide where my loyalty lies. Does my loyalty lie with a country that wants to divide the land God gave to his people or with a country that wants to divide it? Whom will you serve is being asked right now. Do you serve Hashem or something else? As for me and my house, we WILL serve Hasem.

    Snow, from Heaven, reached Even Baghdad
    Floods are being experienced Globally
    The ‘dead’ are being raised around the world
    As hostilities - adorned with the Jewel of Peace - are constantly exacerbated

    Give the benefit of the justified doubt of the President and his ME Policy, especially regarding a ‘2 - state solution.’ The President desires peace - for America, for Israel, for the ‘Palestinans.’

    He wants it …in his time. He declares it - and sees it so. Therefore, Biliions of American taxpayers’ hard-earned tax-dollars go to support many foreign nations - but ‘Palestine’ is NON-Existant.

    Exactly, what has happened to the BILLIONS already given to the ‘Palestinans’? I see no blooming cities….no prospering peoples….no peoples at peace.

    SO we are ready to pour BILLIONS more into a completely self-destructive people - intent on destroying Israel. We see rockets, launched daily into the homeland. We hear the profane rhetoric of Abbas and others like him, Olmert included.

    Where IS the $$$$$ going? Weapons; Supplies and Materiel; Armaments, Explosives…000 yeah - and cars, and property / real estate, and investments, tourism, etc.

    Obviously, money is neither the problem NOR the solution. So, if the Jew is wiling to live in ‘Masada,’ then a 2 State Solution is possible.

    This isn’t over by a Long Shot, for THE GOD Of Heaven and earth CANNOT be compared to the feeble gods of the hills and valleys. HE Visits Both HIS Blessing and HIS Rebuke upon the nations….’which are as a drop in GOD’s Bucket - so Vast, so Deep and, so Wide…’

    Shalom, every remark above is true. This final straw to go and boldly split Jerusalm…what arragance. and the Church who believes they replaced the Jews,,learning fromfalse self made prophets, raving wolves, who do not tell them we will be judged on how we treated “the least of these, My Brethern.” as everytime He speaks of Brethern, He is talking about the Jews, and when He says Israel, HE means Israel. We all know His Fury will come, and we all know how it will come and why, so yes, I weep so much, and I want Israel to start fighting and they know every time they do , they win. War is coming and so is Messiah to seperate the goat nations from the sheep nations. For those who love the very root of G-d will rejoice with them in that day, and that day is not far off…we need to just pray without ceasing and fast and help the Jews as much as we can..they are our family who will always own the Olive tree. They are my heart.

    Wow, I cannot believe I used to be proud to be an American, and here we are,
    pushing Israel to give up so much of their beloved land to Palestine. Not to mention they are plotted to turn America into a North American Union, soon, with the “Amero” as the currency. All these “Unions” popping up, just like the EU, so
    the evil ones will get their “One World Government” or ‘New World Order”. I guess it had to happen sometime, so everyone will watch as the events that are necessary for the glorious return of our Lord unfold. We all need to prepare in every way, especially spiritually to be strong in the tribulation to come.
