Dear friend,
Hope all is well by you. There have been unique comments sent in to me in regards to my last email about America's next president, Hussein Obama. Oh, but his first name is Barack. Most of the remarks were positive while only a very few condemned me for speaking up and sharing what Scripture states and then what Hussein stated in his speech, which is counter to his supposed Christian beliefs. Some others who curse me and hate me who are also Jews have decided to post my email on their blogs. Many people voted Hussein into office for "change", but the big question is, will the "change" be for the better or for the worse? Will it benefit the people or literally enslave them? I did say the word "literally." If you did not catch on, read it again. Bringing on a Jew named Rahm Emanuel (Just because he has an Israeli name and is supposedly a Jew does not tell me anything about what his faith is.) to work on his staff, who by chance has a Hebrew name will bring false comfort to the Jewish people around the world and Israel since choosing Rahm was done as a manipulative "strategy" to pursuade the Jewish people, Israel and even Christians into a terrible false comfort, believing that Hussein is pro-Israel. Blindly electing Hussein was like a classic music industry record deal scam. Its like signing a record contract but not reading the fine details, but just signing it because you just want money and fame, but in this case its "change." Enjoy the slave record deal. You just signed it and you have no choice but to be a slave. You should have noticed the red flags and read the fine lines in the contract. How on earth does this Hussein character come out of absolutely NOWHERE and within 2 years gets elected by teh masses as the next president of the USA or whatever is left of it, it's Constitution and Bill of Rights? It looked like a sweet deal but in the end it has dangerous consequences. There have been some (if not many) Jews who have decided to pick up on the clues in advance and make an exodus out of the USA and move back to Israel. History has shown what happens to Jews and Christians when the wrong person or people get into power. Its rather interesting to even see an Orthodox Jewish news agency urge Jews to leave the USA because there are hints of a next Holocaust. I di not say it, but a Jewish news agency which I think actually comes out of Israel stated this. Even Orthodox Jews know what's going on. Why? Because they have seen it happen before. They are not stupid and either am I. When Jews in Germany and other countries were told to leave because of persecution, many fled with nothing and survived, while others laughed and attacked those who were sharing important information and then later ate their words and faced the facts, being thrown into concentration camps (in the USA they are now called "Re-Education Camps") or just killed. This happened to my family in the past and I have no interest in going through "Never Again" ever again. Even MTV has a video campaign depicting Martial Law and a Gestapo-like police force in the USA taking people away to concentration camps:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reCpV1YHuYs
MTV's slogan is "The Holocaust Happened To People Like Us" As a person who has worked professionally in music videos and commercials which were aired on MTV, I do know that these commercials COST A LOT OF MONEY TO MAKE as well as take A LOT OF PLANNING. They are not just going to make these commercials for no apparent reason. They are conditioning people to GET REAL as well as giving people a dose of reailty that NEVER AGAIN can happen again, even within our time. This is not a joke. If you attack me, then you will probably attack MTV for producing and releasing this commercial. Have you ever seen huge financial institutions flop overnight? The Constitution and Bill or Rights being re-written in front of your eyes, leaders of countries calling for a one world government and financial system? It's on the news. Wake up. Many people just elected a false messiah into presidency. People see Hussein as a messiah-type figure and if you watch the people's reactions on TV, they are hypnotized by him and are hanging onto every word he has to say. They are his Obamination Slaves and they will rat out those who oppose their messianic-figure named Hussein.

Olmert Calls for the Division of Jerusalem

Olmert Calls for the Division of Jerusalem
Israeli PM: Divide Jerusalem, Return Golan Heights to Syria
BY SIMON McGREGOR-WOOD
JERUSALEM, Sept. 29, 2008 —
Ehud Olmert is still the prime minister of Israel. Despite his resignation announcement, he remains the man in charge until a replacement is confirmed.
And as such he has again, on the eve of the Jewish New Year, given the traditional wide-ranging newspaper interview.
It makes for surprising reading.
Most surprising of all is the tone Olmert's used during a passionate declaration that Israel is reaching a critical moment in its relationship with the Palestinians and with Syria.
"What occupies me is what awaits my children and my grandchildren. In a few years, my grandchildren will ask what their grandfather did, what country we have left them," he told Yedioth Ahranot, Israel's leading daily newspaper.
Olmert clearly states his belief that Israel must withdraw from the occupied territories in return for peace.
"We have to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, the meaning of which is that in practice we will withdraw from almost all the territories, if not all the territories," he said.
Olmert has been leading peace negotiations with the Palestinians led by moderate President Mahmoud Abbas.
The talks were launched last year at a U.S. summit in Annapolis, Md. There, an ambitious target was set -- to reach an agreement by the end of President Bush's term in office.
During his interview Olmert explained his political change of heart. For years he was a member of the right wing Likud Party, devoted to maintaining Israel's grip on as much land as possible.
But during today's interview he even called for the division of Jerusalem between Israel and the future state of Palestine, one of the most sensitive issues to be discussed.
"Whoever wants to hold on to all of the city's territory will have to bring 270,000 Arabs inside the fences of sovereign Israel. It won't work. A decision has to be made," he said.
Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem during the 1990s, a period in which he supported the expansion of Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and was devoted to maintaining full control over the city.
"I am not trying to justify retroactively what I did for 35 years. For a large portion of these years I was unwilling to look at reality in depth."
Olmert is similarly strident in his calls for Israelis to understand the need to give back the Golan Heights in return for peace with Syria. Under his direction Israel has entered indirect talks with the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.
"I want to see whether there is one serious person in Israel who believes that peace can be made with the Syrians without ultimately giving up the Golan Heights," he told the paper.
At the end of 2005 Olmert followed his longtime mentor Ariel Sharon away from the Likud Party to a new one created to continue Israel's withdrawal from Palestinian territory.
After Sharon suffered a stroke early in 2006, Olmert found himself the unlikely leader of the Kadima Party.
From the evidence of today's interview, he appears to have also made the same political journey that Sharon made when he decided to evacuate Jewish settlements in Gaza in 2005.
What drove both men is the desire to establish internationally recognized borders for the Jewish state.
"The goal is to try and reach for the first time the delineation of an exact border line between us and the Palestinians, where the whole world -- the United States, the U.N., Europe -- will say, these are the borders of the state of Israel, we recognize them, we anchor them in the formal resolutions of international institutions," Olmert said.
Olmert admits that giving up land for peace is painful. But says he fears that a determination to hold on to all of the land of Israel poses a greater threat to the Israel's existence.
For many former right-wingers, drawing the country's borders and separating Israelis from Palestinians is the only way to preserve a clear Jewish majority.
Today's interview shows how urgent Olmert believes that task to be.

Evangelicals to UN: Indict Ahmadinejad
Evangelicals to UN: Indict Ahmadinejad Sep. 17, 2008 Etgar Lefkovits , THE JERUSALEM POST a prominent Jerusalem-based evangelical organization will deliver a petition to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon this week signed by tens of thousands of Christians from around the world demanding that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad be indicted for incitement to genocide against Israel.The petition, which was initiated by the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem and signed by more than 55,000 people from 128 countries, comes ahead of the Iranian leader's planned visit to New York, where he is scheduled address the opening of the UN General Assembly next week."The silence of most Christian clergy in the face of Germany's horrific bid to annihilate European Jewry left a deep stain on the churches. Yet from it has arisen a sense among multitudes of Christians today that we have an inescapable moral duty to earnestly speak out whenever another genocidal campaign threatens the Jewish people," said Rev. Malcolm Hedding, the organization's executive director."Unfortunately, we are concerned that just such a genocidal campaign is taking shape in the form of Iran's repeated threats to eliminate the Jewish state, and its quest for nuclear means to carry out these threats," Hedding said.Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called to "wipe Israel off the map" and has dismissed the Holocaust as a "myth."The petition, titled 'Stop a Nuclear Iran,' states that the Iranian threats against Israel constitute a "clear violation" of the UN Charter, and the international convention for preventing and punishing the crime of genocide.It also expresses "extreme disappointment" at the "resounding" failure of the UN and its organs to take any serious measures to redress the Islamic Republic's "hostile campaign of public incitement to genocide.""This campaign not only endangers Israel, but is also a threat to the peace and security of the world community," the petition reads.Hedding also blasted leaders in the Mennonite and Quaker movements that will be hosting Ahmadinejad at a "dialogue" reception during his US visit, saying that would be eternally associated with appeasement to wickedness."The Bible nowhere advocates this type of engagement and in facts warns against it," Hedding said. "Jesus did not talk with Herod because he represented a system that was corrupt and evil.""These Christian leaders will forever be associated with the appeasement of wickedness."This article can also be read at http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1221489063594&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull[ Back to the Article ]Copyright 1995- 2008 The Jerusalem Post - http://www.jpost.com/var _rsCI="jerusalem-post";var _rsCG=(JPSectionName && JPSectionName != null && JPSectionName != '') ?

California Muslims Angered They Cannot Incite Murder of Jews
After reading this article, I would encourage you to contact your local colleges who have the Muslim Student Association as one of their student groups, and request that they disban that group as a hate group and remove them from their computer servers as USC did. If you are not sure if there is a Muslim Student Assocation at your local college, you can go to their website - http://www.msanational.org/ and then click on zones and it will then you can select what state you are in.Headline NewsSunday, September 07, 2008 Israel Today StaffCalifornia Muslims angered they can't incite murder of JewsMuslim students at the University of Southern California are enraged by the school's recent decision to remove from a student group's website an Islamic text that encourages the murder of Jews.Until recently, the website of the now-defunct Muslim Student Association, which is hosted on the university's servers, had featured the full text of the hadiths, the words of Mohammed that are not found in the Koran.One of those hadiths calls on Muslims to "fight against the Jews and...kill them," and promises that even the stones and the trees will assist Muslims in that gruesome task.A statement issued by the Muslim Student Union at USC suggested that the hadith was being taken out of context, and called the school's decision to remove it from the website "unprecedented and unconscionable."The Muslim Student Union accused the USC administration of practicing unfair censorship.
Why the Church Should Support Israel
Why the Church Should Support Israel:
Many Christians ask me, “How do I know if my church is a Bible-believing church that doesn’t teach replacement theology, progressive dispensationalism or supersessionism?”Ask yourself some questions:Does my church pray for the Jewish people, the peace of Jerusalem, and Israel?Does my church give offerings of compassion to comfort them?Does my church preach on Israel and its Biblical significance?Does my church take tours of Israel?Is there an Israeli flag in my church?Does my church teach on the significance of Church’s Jewish roots?Does my church have a Night to Honor Israel or Jerusalem Prayer Summit annually?Does my church ever preach against replacement theology, progressive dispensationaism, or supersessionism?If the answer to these questions is “No,” then you may be a member of a church that refuses to believe the Bible, and rejects God’s Eternal promises to the House of Israel. If your church seems powerless, and appears not to be blessed by God, perhaps this is the reason.Israel is a Miracle Nation because of its formation; and when we stand with Israel, we are standing with God’s prophetic plan.We must be part of God’s dream and His team and support Israel and the Jewish people. Their existence and the rebirth of Israel is a miracle. As Christians, we believe in miracles. The resurrection of our Lord was the greatest miracle. If He can live again, it is no problem at all of for Him to restore the Nation of Israel.Israel was not born in 1948. It was born in the heart of God and revealed to Abraham many years before the birth of Isaac. God made a blood covenant with Abraham that the land of Canaan would be given to Abraham’s seed through Isaac. (Genesis 15:18) As part of that vision, God told Abraham that for 400 years his seed would be strangers in a land that did not belong to them. (Genesis 15:13) The seed of Abraham from Isaac spent 400 years in Egypt before Moses led them out, and Israel, the nation, was born.“Who had heard such a thing? Who had seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.” (Isaiah 66:8)Enduring Covenant PeopleUnique as this religious centrality is, there is one reason above all others why committed Christians must stand with Israel: The God of the Universe, the God that we worship, has chosen to make an everlasting convent with the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the Jewish people.The word “everlasting” has nothing temporary or confidential about it. It clearly means, “lasting forever.” And although Jews are found today in North and South America, Australia, Russia, Europe, many parts of Africa, and virtually every other continent on earth their historic spiritual and physical center was, and always be, the Promised Land of Israel.God’s Eternal covenant with the descendents of Abraham featured the promise to give them the land of Israel as an everlasting possession. This is recorded in the very first book of the Bible, Genesis, in chapter 17.Why the Church Should Support Israel? Because God Does!“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3)Israel is God’s dream, and we are called to be a part of His team. The title deed belongs to God Almighty. When God made His eternal promises to Israel, there was no United Nations. There were only pagan nations to challenge this dream, to challenge God and His word.To be apathetic toward of God’s Divine plan or Eternal purpose, and our role as Christians in it, means to reject Our Lord’s Divine Assignment to the Church and heavenly opportunity. God’s prophetic time clock has been set on Jerusalem time! And the spotlight of Heaven is still on the Jews. It all began with them, and it will all end with them. God’s plan is an eternal one! If what we do as Christians does not matter in the light of eternity, then we had better stop doing it. As Christians, can no more neglect our responsibility to stand with the House of Israel then we can neglect believing in the promises of God.Jerusalem is the only city for which God commands us to pray. He also commands a blessing on those who pray for Jerusalem! When you pray for Jerusalem, Psalm 122:6, you are not praying for stones or dirt, you are praying for revival (2 Chronicles 7:14), and for the Lord’s Return. Also, you are joining our Lord, the Good Samaritan, in His ministry of love and comfort to the suffering. “If you’ve done it unto the least of these, my brethren (the Jews) you’ve done it unto me.” It is our divine commission.King David explained precisely why God Almighty has commanded us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and has commanded a blessing upon us for doing so. The revelation is found in Psalm 122:8: “For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.” God is telling us to pray for the souls of Jerusalem. David felt that prayer needed to be offered up for all of his brothers, and friends who lived there. Prayer needs to be offered today for the House of Israel, for those who live there from over 120 nations of the Earth. It is the city most targeted by terrorists, simply because it is Jerusalem. It has drawn the Jewish people of the world like a prophetic magnet…those who have prayed, “New Year in Jerusalem.”In Psalm 122:9, David’s revelation says, “May there be peace as a protection for the Temple of the Lord.” Ultimately, we are praying for Satan to be bound. In Isaiah 14, Satan said he would battle God from the Temple of the Lord, on the sides of the north. When we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are praying for the souls of the City of Jerusalem; we are praying for the Temple of the Lord; and, we are praying for the Messiah to come. The prophecies of the Bible point to the Temple of the Lord as the key flashpoint that will bring the nation of the world to Jerusalem, and ultimately result in the battle that will end Satan’s reign over the earth for all eternity. It will spell his final death.In 691 A.D., Islamic adherents in Jerusalem built the Dome of the Rock over the Foundation Stone, which was the spot of the Holy of Holies in the Bible. Islam later attributed another event to the Foundation Stone: the binding of the son of Abraham the “Hanif,” the first Monotheist. As the Koran does not explicitly mention the name Isaac, commentators on the Koran have identified the son bound by Abraham as Ishmael. Thus Islam teaches that the title deed to Jerusalem and the Temple Site and all of Israel belong to the Arabs – not the Jews.If fact, Mohammed never set foot in Jerusalem, nor is the city mentioned by name in the Koran. His only connection to Jerusalem is through his dream or vision where he found himself in a “temple that is most remote.” (Koran, Sura) It was not until the Seventh Century that Moslem adherents identified the “temple most remote” as a mosque in Jerusalem (perhaps for political reasons.)The truth remains that this site which now stands the Dome of the Rock, as is sacred to Jews as the Temple site, will be the basis for the battle of ages that will be fought.There is a divine reason the Church was born in Zion! All roads lead to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. The world is hopeless, not knowing what to do. Heaven and Earth met in Jerusalem, and will meet there again. The destiny of America and the world is linked to Jerusalem. It is epicenter of spiritual warfare and affects the entire world.Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria are the battle zones. It is no accident that the Great Commission is directed toward these prophetic areas. If Christians are not salt and light then the Great Commission will become the Great Omission! “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)If Our Lord and Savior reached out in compassion to Israel, and made prayer for her His highest priority, do we dare make it our lowest? There is a direct correlation between the power that Heaven promises for the Church and its birth in Jerusalem, and the Church’s obedience to be a witness In Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. The church cannot, and must not, ignore Christ’s Eternal mission for her, and at the same time, expect power from on high. If His disciples’ obedience was directly related to a power surge from Heaven and the birth of the Church, can disobedience empower the church and lift her heavenward to fulfill her final mission?“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Isaiah 60:1-3)The above is an excerpt from Dr. Evans’ book Why Christians Should Support Israel.All of those who send a donation of $50 to help create Jerusalem prayer teams throughout the world will receive an autographed copy of the book.

If His disciples’ obedience was directly related to a power surge from Heaven and the birth of the Church, can disobedience empower the church and lift her heavenward to fulfill her final mission?“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Isaiah 60:1-3)The above is an excerpt from Dr. Evans’ book Why Christians Should Support Israel.All of those who send a donation of $50 to help create Jerusalem prayer teams throughout the world will receive an autographed copy of the book.
