Even the Russians Get It

You know financial matters for the U.S. may be going south in a hurry when the Moscow Times publishes an article like this.

Russia has “resilience” after going through “several crises over the past hundred years,” whereas the United States “can’t sustain shocks,” said Taleb, whose 2007 best seller argued that most people underestimate the frequency of rare events that have a major effect on markets.

The Federal Reserve is injecting $600 billion into the U.S. financial system by purchasing Treasuries in a second round of quantitative easing to stimulate the economy.

The budget deficit in the United States is worse than the fiscal problems in Greece, which received a bailout last year from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to stem its soaring borrowing costs and avert the risk of a default, Taleb said.

The United States is covering its fiscal shortfall “partly by printing, partly by going to find the fool to buy the bonds. So really we have a very fragile situation in the United States, without, unlike Greece, having the IMF on top,” the New York University professor told the conference.

Ouch!....partly by going to find the fool to buy the bonds! Double OUCH!!....fiscal problems in U.S. worse than Greece!

Wait a second...who is this clown? What?? A professor from NYU?? Oh.

"Perfect Storm" Forming in Middle East

Hilary Clinton is saying a "perfect storm" may be forming in the Middle East if the leaders there don't play it right.


Hmmm.....I wonder what the chances are of having Middle East leaders playing it right?

Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has warned of a "perfect storm" enveloping the Middle East if leaders do not implement political and social reforms to meet the demands of their people.

"The region is being battered by a perfect storm of powerful trends," Clinton said.

She said change is a "strategic necessity" that will make Arab nations stronger and their people more prosperous and less susceptible to extremist ideologies.


Well Hilary....we can only hope that making the people of Egypt more prosperous will make them less susceptible to extremist ideologies.

I guess the flip side would be that making them more prosperous may enable the Muslim Brotherhood to buy bigger bombs and more planes to carry out their #1 stated objective....the destruction of Israel.

I'm glad God has the whole thing figured out....because looking at the situation from ground level makes it look pretty difficult.

"All things are possible with God," says God.

Obama's Suicide in Middle East

This writer for Israel National News doesn't pull any punches. He paints what is coming for Egypt in very plain language....and Obama is seen as weak,(or worse?) which is why this is all unraveling.

Possibly in the vain hope that the Arab mobs will begin to like America, U.S. President Obama has, in a historic move, “humiliated and betrayed his best ally in the Arab world.” So says Middle East analyst Dr. Guy Bechor of the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya.

Suicidal Move
In response to the obvious question of why Obama is doing this, Bechor said, “I really can’t explain it. It is suicidal. America is toppling its main allies in the region, after it did the same with Iraq and Iran, and this will have grave ramifications for its few remaining allies – Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Morocco. Algeria is also endangered, as is Syria – to which the U.S. has come close of late, and with which the Muslim Brotherhood has a long reckoning.”

Bechor does not see a bright future for the region: “What I think will happen in the end is that the Muslim Brotherhood - which I believe has the support of more than half the country, and is viewed as the only realistic alternative – will take control of the country, including its wealth of modern American weapons. Keep in mind that Egypt has tried everything – a republic, a monarchy, Communism, leadership of the Arab world, fighting against the Arab world – everything except for an Islamic government. So I think that there will now be many months of anarchy, terrorist attacks and economic problems, at the end of which the Muslim Brotherhood will come to power and ally itself with Hamas – for they are both the same.”

See it here; http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142118

Ouch! That doesn't sound very good for what is coming...for us, for Egypt AND for Israel.

Poor Obama. I am actually starting to have pity for the guy. He has such a wonderful college degree and was even a professor! It's hard to understand why spending your life on liberal campuses didn't prepare him to deal with the angry tyrants and Muslim despots who rule the world. (insert sarcasm...again!)

Maybe if he gave them all a gift certificate to B Dalton Books...they would start to unclench their fists?

What Inflation? Where?

Here is another one of those numerous EPIC headlines;

World food prices surge to new historic peak

Rome - World food prices surged to a new 'historic' peak in January, for the seventh consecutive month, according to the updated UN Food and Agriculture Organisation's Food Price Index, the agency said Thursday.

The index - a commodity basket that regularly tracks monthly changes in global food prices - averaged 231 points in January and was up 3.4 per cent from December 2010.

See it here; http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/business/news/article_1616745.php/World-food-prices-surge-to-new-historic-peak

Plus, during the past 12 months gasoline is up about 50%, cotton is up about 100%, healthcare costs are up 10%, college costs are up 10%, student athletic fees are up, the dollar menu at MacDonalds is being slashed....but yet we are told there is no inflation and no danger of massive inflation.

Why would we believe that?.... just because Obama told us so?

Also remember that for Americans, we only spend a VERY small percentage of our incomes on food. If you happen to be one of the 6 billion other folks on earth who are already spending half their incomes on food....it would kind of make you upset if food prices went up another 50%.

"So Dennis....where is all the world's corn? How could it possibly have gone to $6 per bushel?"

Answer: BECAUSE WE ARE BURNING A BOAT LOAD OF IT TO MAKE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED ETHANOL TO BURN IN OUR CARS!...in addition to droughts and floods that have wiped out the rest.

I can see the future headline now;
Millions Starved After They Burned All Their Food

Soros Says Israel a "Stumbling Block"

No doubt the Bible tells us that Israel will be a cup of trembling in the Last Days....but how about a stumbling block?

With all that is happening in the middle east, much is being written about what we, and the world, should be doing about it.

Check out the statements the uber-billionaire and major Obama supporter has to say about Israel in the Washington Post. Strangely enough, Soros is a Jew....whatever that may mean.

Revolutions usually start with enthusiasm and end in tears. In the case of the Middle East, the tears could be avoided if President Obama stands firmly by the values that got him elected. Although American power and influence in the world have declined, our allies and their armies look to us for direction. These armies are strong enough to maintain law and order as long as they stay out of politics; thus the revolutions can remain peaceful. That is what the United States should insist on while encouraging corrupt and repressive rulers who are no longer tolerated by their people to step aside and allow new leaders to be elected in free and fair elections.

The main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks. And some U.S. supporters of Israel are more rigid and ideological than Israelis themselves. Fortunately, Obama is not beholden to the religious right, which has carried on a veritable vendetta against him.

See it here; http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/02/AR2011020205041.html

(insert sarcasm here) Yes George. That sounds about right! Israel was invaded by Egypt a few times since 1948...and under much pressure from the world were forced to make peace with her by giving back the Sinai Peninsula. That peace has endured for over 30 years. But now that the Egyptian street is erupting with camel riding, mostly illiterate Arabs, protesting their corrupt government and many of which hate Israel and Jews....IT IS ISRAEL WHO IS THE STUMBLING BLOCK IN THE REGION. Got it!!

The liberal mind....who can know it?

The liberal mind....what a terrible thing to waste.

Thank you Jesus for giving us YOUR word so that we can have a Biblical worldview. Were it not for your grace and mercy even the elect, if that were possible, would be deceived.

Surrounded


In light of all the Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Jordan talk....lets revisit a map that I had previously posted last year.
The green countries are noted hotbeds for anti-Israel groups.
The tiny red dot in the middle of them all is Israel. Jerusalem is in the middle of that red dot and God claimed that city as His very own.
On this Satanic planet on which we find ourselves...should there be any question as to why Satan has surrounded Jerusalem? Should there be any question as to why he wants to claim Jerusalem?
But as you look at this map...can you find ANY logical reason for why the world is SO convinced that Israel is oppressing it's Arab neighbors? No?? So it probably is a supernatural reason.

#1 Read Story on Fox

A few days ago I posted about a UFO over Jerusalem.

Today the story is the #1 read story on Fox News.

Some UFO enthusiasts believe the videos -- which have taken the Internet by storm -- are final proof that aliens exist, while others say the unidentified object was the Hebrew god Elohim.

Adding to the mystery is the fact that flying over the Dome of the Rock landmark -- an ancient Islamic shrine -- is forbidden.

Former Ministry of Defense UFO investigator Nick Pope said: "If these are real, they are some of the most incredible videos ever shot.

"If they are not, then this is a very well-planned and coordinated hoax designed to eliminate elements of doubt.

"The way it shoots up into the sky suggests it is unmanned, because no living thing could survive those kinds of G-forces.

See it here; http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/02/03/ufo-jerusalems-dome-rock-baffles-experts/#?test=faces

I will remind you all that in Genesis 6, (the days of Noah) Satan's fallen angels were doing something to create strange flesh. I will also remind you that the Bible CLEARLY says that the strange flesh was still on the earth AFTER the flood.

And finally I will remind you that Jesus said to his disciples when speaking about the end of the age that it would be "as it was in the days of Noah."

Be a Berean.

Thanks Tom and Mick for finding this. I was out of the office all day and have missed the news.

China Says What?

This article is claiming that Chinese National TV is reporting that the Obama administration is soon going to make a disclosure about UFO's and extraterrestrial life.

Chinese National Television Xinhua news is now reporting an impending extraterrestrial disclosure by the Obama administration.

The unprecedented national China TV news bulletin that U.S. President Barack Obama may be preparing to disclose U.S. relations with specific extraterrestrial races was broadcast on the official channel Xinhua on January 4, 2011 on the eve of China President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States.


The first nation to authoritatively announce the Extraterrestrial presence stands to gain world prestige and trust in the eyes of the increasingly extraterrestrially-sophisticated more than 6.89 billion persons populating the Earth at this time.

Continue reading on Examiner.com: Chinese National TV reporting impending UFO/ET disclosure by Obama government - Seattle exopolitics Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/exopolitics-in-seattle/chinese-national-tv-reporting-impending-ufo-et-disclosure-by-obama-government#ixzz1CqO1t15Z

Did you catch that phrase, "prestige and trust"?

I have NO IDEA if this is true or just a National Enquirer type of article. What I do know is that the media of the world is growing more convinced of an alien agenda all the time.

Also, can you imagine the confusion for the people of planet earth if an announcement like this WAS actually made?

Deception is coming.

200 Dead Cows Mystery Solved

Dead birds, dead cows, dead fish. What up with that?

Well the good news is that scientists have solved the 200 dead cows found in a pasture in Wisconsin a few weeks back....drum roll please....They ate too many bad sweet potatoes.

Authorities investigating the deaths of 200 cows in Wisconsin have come up with an unlikely culprit: the sweet potato.

The cows were found dead in a Stockton pasture two weeks ago. Locals were left scratching their heads about what caused the mass die-off.

Investigators from the University of Wisconsin have determined that the animals were killed by a poison found in spoiled sweet potatoes that were part of the cattle's feed.

See it here; http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/29/mystery-of-200-dead-cows-in-wisconsin-solved/

That's a relief! For a moment there I thought God was trying to get our attention! Whew!

At the end of the article though, we still find this lame excuse about how 5000 black birds all managed to die of blunt force trauma all at the same time.

The thousands of red-winged blackbirds that dropped out of the sky in Arkansas on Dec. 31 apparently died of blunt force trauma. Investigators say loud noises prompted the birds to take a rare night flight, and that they likely slammed into objects such as trees and houses.

Well anyway, the good news is that we have solved one dead animal mystery and now only have 50 or 60 more to solve.

Financial Calamity Coming

Hey!! Did you see the good news yesterday?? The Dow Jones Index closed above 12,000 for the first time in a few years! The media and government spin doctors are using that rising index as proof that we are well on our way to economic recovery.


Yippee!! The god of rising stocks has saved us again!! We can't wait to get back to those lazy, hazy, crazy days of shopping incessantly and spending days just strolling through malls!!.....looking for more crap we don't need...using money we don't really have!

So how did the $15 trillion of bankrupting debt fall out of the news so fast? How can we "recover" when most of every single penny that the Treasury takes in will soon be going out the door to service interest on the $15 trillion?

How can we "recover" when we are running $65 billion per month in deficit spending? (that means the government has to borrow $65 billion per month just to keep the lights on) How long can the Federal Reserve pretend they have money to "buy" up $65 billion of Treasury bonds every month....just to keep the illusion going?

In November 2010, the Federal Reserve announced a second round of economic stimulus commonly referred to as Quantitative Easing (QE2). The reason, according to the Fed, was“progress toward its objectives has been disappointingly slow.” So, to try and turn the economy around, the Fed said, “. . . the Committee intends to purchase a further $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter (June) of 2011, a pace of about $75 billion per month.” (Click here to read the complete announcement from the Fed.) QE means the Fed basically creates money out of thin air to buy debt. The current money printing orgy is financing more than half of U.S. government right now. The first round of QE bought toxic mortgage debt and bailed out the bankers.

I can’t imagine how the U.S. could stop printing money in June and then turn around and ask the world to start buying our debt again at a rate of $75 billion a month. Of course, we would want to pay discount rates in order to keep mortgages affordable and real estate prices from crashing. There would be no legitimate buyers unless we were paying much higher interest rates. Higher rates are the last thing the Fed wants to see because it would kill what little is left of this so-called “recovery.”

In summary, all the experts I polled think QE Will Not End. That will surely mean an imploding U.S. dollar and exploding inflation. This is scheduled to happen by the end of June, making this the most predictable financial calamity in history.


Interesting...."the most predictable financial calamity in history"....because there will be no legitimate buyers at the Treasury auctions once the Federal Reserve quits sending a buyer to the auctions. In order to attract potential buyers we will have to offer MUCH higher interest rates.

Now think clearly for 5 more seconds please...if the U.S. Gov't is already going to have an impossible task of paying off the $15 trillion at 3% interest.....how much more collapsing is it if they have to find buyers for it all at 6%?

As the author above says, there is literally no way the Federal Reserve can now quit buying now. Once they do....calamity can't be far away. And this buying spree is currently set to end in June.

I think the Bible tells us clearly to have faith in God alone. It also tells us to not pay attention to what we can see....because the things that we can see are only illusions that will pass away. The eternal things are currently hidden from our view....but what is there are the only things that are real.

Obama's Betrayal

The headline says it all;

Israel shocked by Obama's "betrayal" of Mubarak

(Reuters) - If Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is toppled, Israel will lose one of its very few friends in a hostile neighborhood and President Barack Obama will bear a large share of the blame, Israeli pundits said on Monday.

Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades, simply to conform to the current ideology of political correctness.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers of the Jewish state to make no comment on the political cliffhanger in Cairo, to avoid inflaming an already explosive situation. But Israel's President Shimon Peres is not a minister.

"We always have had and still have great respect for President Mubarak," he said on Monday. He then switched to the past tense. "I don't say everything that he did was right, but he did one thing which all of us are thankful to him for: he kept the peace in the Middle East."

See it here; http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/31/us-egypt-israel-usa-idUSTRE70U53720110131

So there you have the truth.....everything Mubarak did wasn't always good or right, but he kept the peace in a VERY militant neighborhood.

Also today in the Wall Street Journal we have an article about the Christian Coptics in Egypt who are VERY concerned if Mubarak gets shoved out. Why? Because he did a ton to keep the Islamic extremists under control...and didn't hesitate to squash them so he could retain power. They fear (and are probably right) that the Christians will be persecuted if the Muslim Brotherhood and/or it's supporters and sympathizers take over.

Making No Noise

At about the same time as the UFO was hovering over the Dome of the Rock, some people in Utah also some strange UFO's.

You can watch the ABC report here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_393904&v=eEHQtygUTkE&feature=iv

One of the dudes interviewed was in the US Air Force so was very familiar with planes. He said that these three vehicles were all flying in formation and dropping something that looked like flares.

He said what was interesting is that they made no noise...which a plane or helicopter would clearly be making.

2nd Look

Yesterday I posted a video taken of a UFO over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Today a reader sent me another video of what appears to be the same incident...but from a different camera.

In this one you can clearly see it hovering over the Done of the Rock...which is on the Temple Mount.

Egypt Chaos Threatens U.S. Economy

Yes, we all know our economy is vulnerable. When you owe $15 trillion dollars, have lost millions of manufacturing jobs over the past 30 years, have pegged our money system to the air, and are 100% dependent on cheap oil showing up everyday mostly from countries who don't like us,...that seems to be an understatement.


As we have posted...imagine if unrest spreads through the oil producing countries and gasoline heads to $10 per gallon? That would shut the American way of life down in a hurry. Forget about what that would do to the prices of EVERYTHING we buy that is delivered by trucks burning gasoline and diesel.

With that as a background, this headline just crossed my screen;

Egypt Turmoil Threatens U.S. Economy

Rising prices for food and fuel helped drive the uprisings racking the Middle East, now those uprisings are pushing prices higher still and threatening America’s economic recovery.


Prices had been on the rise for months around the world as increased demand following a long recession – especially driven by economic booms in China and India – squeezed available resources.


Massive increases in the cost of staples like flour and cooking fuel helped stoke popular anger in the poor countries in the Middle East and could do the same elsewhere. Note well that the ChiComs are heavily censoring the news on the Arab uprising lest their inflation-strained subjects get any funny ideas

.

In the U.S., increased competition and rising domestic demand augmented by a regulatory crackdown on the energy sector – particularly oil and coal -- has driven a still relatively modest increase in food and fuel prices. Enough to be a small drag on recovery, but not stifle it.


Here, the Federal Reserve has been gushing cheap dollars into the economy for three years and the Obama Democrats have ramped up spending and borrowing to historic highs all in effort to stave off what they said would have been another Great Depression.

Could Jordan be Next Domino?

Here is the headline just surfacing;


Jordan's king fires Cabinet amid protests

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan's King Abdullah II fired his government Tuesday in the wake of street protests and asked an ex-prime minister to form a new Cabinet, ordering him to launch immediate political reforms.

The dismissal follows several large protests across Jordan— inspired by similar demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt — calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Samir Rifai, who is blamed for a rise in fuel and food prices and slowed political reforms.

See it here; http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iq6U5tOt9-r82mBM8q8f4X7PEXgw?docId=3cdbb5b33b054e1c9b14f356f2eb62ac

In Bible study last night we read Psalm 83 and talked about who all the players are in that Psalm. As you can see, the above headline comes from Amman....named after Lot's incestuous union with his own daughter. And yes, Ammon (northern Jordan) is one of the named players, as is Moab, which is now southern Jordan. Moab was the other son of Lot from his incestuous union with his OTHER daughter.

We will need to watch these developments very closely.

Lots of "Evers" Going On

In our attempt to keep you posted on all of the rare happenings, happening all at once, we have a few more to add after watching the news this morning.


1)-Cyclone baring down on Australia which is still swamped by a "biblical" flood of "epic" proportions. Now they could get as much as 3 feet of rain from the cyclone on top of it. They are saying it could be the biggest cyclone EVER!

2)-The storm moving across Oklahoma and into Indiana and Illinois could be the largest blizzard EVER for some of the cities involved. Al Roker from NBC Today show was in Chicago awaiting the blizzard there. He said they could have as much as 2 feet of snow in the city, which would be the largest snowfall EVER. Fox News is reporting that the storm could affect 100 million Americans...which makes it the most people EVER affected by a single storm.

3)-As we watch Egypt unravel, one commentator said that this was the fastest he had EVER seen change happen...and it was totally unforeseen even a few weeks ago.

If you throw on the other headlines this morning of a RARE volcano erupting in Japan, child sex rings gearing up to sell children for sex during the Super Bowl, two lesbians being nominated for Snowdaze royalty at a local High School, people snorting bath salts that are making them see monsters and gives them an urge to kill themselves,.....it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we may be in the spiral already. What spiral? The spiral that leads the world into uncontrollability.

During this time it is imperative that you cling to the Rock of Jesus Christ. All other ground is sinking sand.

Also remember the words of Christ....He said to fear not because all these things MUST happen. So remember that everyday we see things grow worse on earth is one day closer to seeing Jesus Christ face to face.

That IS our blessed hope.

Fully Loaded Fault

Of course we all know about the San Andreas fault out in CA that will one day destroy CA. Also we are all now familiar with the New Madrid fault that last broke 200 years ago....the one that FEMA says will be the worst disaster to EVER befall America when it breaks.

But now we have another fault to add to our watch list.

As if you didn’t have enough worries, here is one more to add to that massive list:“It’s been 300 years,” Bill Steele said Tuesday.

“We have a fully loaded subduction zone.”

Actually, it’s been 311 years since the Great Cascadia Earthquake of 1700.

“The earthquake ruptured what is known as the Cascadia subduction zone — the area of overlap between two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s surface, the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate.” The 2003 HistoryLink essay by Greg Lange, citing scientists who studied the quake, said the event dropped the whole Pacific Northwest coastline 3 to 6 feet, and that the tsunami was as high as 33 feet.

Knowledge of all that comes from both recent science and long-ago legends and tales of American Indians. Ruth Ludwin, a former University of Washington geophysics professor, has studied and published evidence of the quake found in native lore, Steele said.

“There are a large number of Native American legends and tales of meadows reclaimed by the sea, of great shaking and landslides, and of whole villages wiped out with canoes found in the trees,” he said. “It may have killed tens of thousands of people, but there is no written record of that.”

See it all here; http://heraldnet.com/article/20110126/NEWS01/701269810/-1/news01

It makes you realize that when Jesus returns to stop the Tribulation and the largest earthquake EVER to be recorded happens when He touches down on the Mount of Olives....it seems as if it will be a simultaneous breaking of every fault on earth at precisely the same time.

It also seems as if Yellowstone, New Madrid, Cascadia, San Andreas...are all FULLY LOADED and ready to blow.

Could it be that Jesus is preloading them for THAT day? Could it be that "that day" is really not that far away?

What an exciting time!

Meltdown Coming for Iran Nuke Program?

Some breaking news is reporting the Iran's nuclear reactor may have a Chernobyl like disaster because of the Stuxnet computer worm that penetrated their computers.

A foreign intelligence report says that the control systems of Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant have been penetrated by a computer worm unleashed last year - and is warning of a possible Chernobyl-like disaster once the site becomes fully operational.

Russia's envoy to NATO also has raised the specter of the 1986 reactor explosion in Ukraine, but suggested last week the danger had passed. (AP)


See it here; http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4021959,00.html

It sure sounds like Iran might have a really tough time putting together some nuclear weapons nay time soon.

But remember that Ezekiel says Iran will join Russia and Turkey in a military venture against Israel....and Russia already has lots of nukes to threaten Israel with.

UFO Over Jerusalem

Jesus said there will be, "fearful events and great signs from heaven"...as he spoke of the end of the age.

Anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time knows that we believe firmly that Satan is using "aliens" as deception for his demons and his Last Days deceptions.

That being said, a UFO appeared a few days ago over Jerusalem and is making the headlines now.

You can watch this video as a light descends on the Temple Mount. Notice the light moves in ways that no human flying ship could.

See video here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-bNOy_CKQ

Friends, something wicked is coming. Everyday, it seems its getting harder and harder to deny.

Huckabee Tells it Like it is.

Presidential contender and ex-governor, Mike Huckabee, was recently in Israel and pretty much told the truth in regards to "settlements". Watch for him to catch heck for these statements. I'm pretty sure some Muslim extremist will have a fatwa (Muslim death sentence) placed on his head for daring to say what the truth is.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Potential 2012 U.S. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told Jewish settlers Monday that attempts to prevent them from building in east Jerusalem are as outrageous as housing discrimination in the United States.

"I cannot imagine, as an American, being told I could not live in certain places in America because I was Christian, or because I was white, or because I spoke English," he said.

Huckabee dismissed the notion that Jewish settlements on land the Palestinians want for a future state are obstacles to peace. Instead, he backed the settlers' view that
they have the right to build anywhere in "the place that God gave them."

Most of the international community - including President Barack Obama - considers the settlements illegal because they are built on occupied land. Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas and a serious contender for president in 2008, is expected to seek the Republican nomination to run against Obama in 2012.

See it here; http://apnews.myway.com/article/20110131/D9L3EQR82.html

Holy Hannah! ..."the place that God gave them?" That's awesome! We need to support leaders who tell it like it is. I believe we need to support Israel with 100% of our talk and actions and quit trying to play both sides of the fence. Obviously they are the best friend we have ever had in the Middle East.

Of course our leaders over the past decades have been terrified to actually say the truth for fear that our oil (lifeblood) would be cut off. But by assuming that it would be, we throw away the possibility that God would actually bless us. "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."

The uprising in Egypt will continue to show us the folly of trying to please everyone all the time. You can't support a dictator but then claim you are a champion for democracy.

Furthermore, by now it should be fairly obvious to everyone that we only support democracy when it leads to the election of someone that the USA agrees with. There's nothing wrong with that....we should just come right out and say it.

Maybe if our actions matched our words and our words matched our actions....we could end up making the world a more stable place?

From the Heart of a Muslim

Many of us have wondered aloud for years, "Where are the Muslim voices to speak out against the atrocities being waged by Muslims?"


We recently ran across this article first printed in April 2010. I pray the author, Tawfik Hamid, is still alive as he appears to be a voice in the wilderness....and no doubt other Muslims will want him silenced.

I was born a Muslim and lived all my life as a follower of Islam.

After the barbaric terrorist attacks done by the hands of my fellow Muslims everywhere on this globe, and after the too many violent acts by Islamists in many parts of the world, I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being, to speak out and tell the truth to protect the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe and war of civilizations.

I have to admit that our current Islamic teaching creates violence and hatred toward Non-Muslims.
We Muslims are the ones who need to change. Until now we have accepted polygamy, the beating of women by men, and killing those who convert from Islam to other religions.
We have never had a clear and strong stand against the concept of slavery or wars, to spread our religion and to subjugate others to Islam and force them to pay a humiliating tax called Jizia. We ask others to respect our religion while all the time we curse non-Muslims loudly (in Arabic) in our Friday prayers in the Mosques.
What message do we convey to our children when we call the Jews "Descendants of the pigs and monkeys".. Is this a message of love and peace, or a message of hate?
I have been into churches and synagogues where they were praying for Muslims. While all the time we curse them, and teach our generations to call them infidels, and to hate them.
We immediately jump in a 'knee jerk reflex' to defend Prophet Mohammed when someone accuses him of being a pedophile while, at the same time, we are proud with the story in our Islamic books, that he married a young girl seven years old (Aisha) when he was above 50 years old.


The author goes on to pretty much nail many of the problems with Islam. Will the world wake up in time? Does the Christian church realize this is a spiritual battle best handled by prayers of the righteous?

Pray for Muslims that Christ will continue to change their hearts and continue to appear to thousands through dreams and visions.

We simply can't afford to bomb every single Muslim who hates American and wants to see us destroyed.

Bombs and planes are expensive...but prayer is powerful.

Meanwhile....In Nigeria...

With all the talk of Egypt, what about Nigeria?


You may remember it was just last Christmas where Muslims descended on a church that was having Christmas Eve services and hauled dozens out and used machetes to hack them to death.

Well, the situation hasn't improved.

(Reuters) - Youths dragged people from their cars and murdered them at illegal roadblocks in central Nigeria over the weekend, while rioters burned fuel stations and homes in the latest clashes between Christian and Muslim gangs.

Youths from the mostly Christian Berom ethnic group set up the roadblocks on Saturday at Gada Biu, on the edge of the city of Jos, stopping vehicles and pulling out people they believed to be Muslims, witnesses said.

One witness, who asked not to be named, said he had counted 15 bodies, although the security forces could not confirm this.

The latest burst of violence in Plateau state, where an estimated 200 people have been killed in ethnic and religious clashes over the past month, was triggered when Muslim youths attended a burial ceremony near a Christian village on Friday.

See it here; http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/30/us-nigeria-clashes-idUSTRE70T12N20110130?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Of course Reuters (very liberal news service) doesn't want to take sides in this article....so they say "Muslim and Christian gangs". But let me make a wager here....do you think it was Holy Spirit filled Christian youths who set up illegal roadblocks and dragged people out of their cars and killed them?...OR....do you think it was youths who are of the Muslim persuasion?

Remember, confessing Muslims don't HAVE the Holy Spirit....so we don't expect any fruit of the spirit to manifest itself from them.

Anyone can CLAIM to be a Christian...but those whom the Holy Spirit inhabits will bare fruit of the Spirit....and won't be prone to drag random folks from their cars and beat them to death. The media simply won't ever understand that element of the Spiritual battle that is raging.

Satan is rising folks. He planted a time bomb in the Koran when he spoke those false words and lies to Mohammad...and now, 1400 years later it is going off in all the countries where the lies took hold.

Three Fronts for Israel

Of course Israel is watching very closely how events are playing out in Egypt. With the collapse of the Lebanese government on it's north, Hamas lobbing rockets out of Gaza on it's south, and now Egypt could be taken over by militant Muslims and that's also on it's southern border.


Egypt, one of the only two Arab states to sign peace with Israel, is wobbling dangerously on the brink of revolutionary change with potentially spreading fallout. This week, Israel was dismayed to find itself looking suddenly at three latently hostile fronts about to spring up around its borders: Lebanon, which has dropped into the Iranian orbit, followed by Egypt, which is heading for terra incognita, and the Gaza Strip, where the Palestinian Hamas, offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, has gained altitude as a Middle East player from the rise of its less radical parent.

DEBKAfile's Middle East experts predict that however the Egyptian uprising turns out, and in whichever direction it is pushed and pulled by the United States, it will end in a new parliamentary election and a new civilian government in which the Muslim Brotherhood will be substantially represented.


Of course you don't have to search real long to find out what is at the core beliefs of the Muslim Brotherhood.....the destruction of Israel and shove the Jews into the sea.

We continue to wonder if we are seeing the actual events leading to the outbreak of the war mentioned in Psalm 83.

Continue to pray for Israel.
