Israel - A plea of passion to pray for Israel ![]() Letter from Jonathan ISRAEL - A warning to Britain America Historical Analysis and Urgent Prayer I think we are 6 weeks away from MAKE YOUR MIND UP TIME. After September 16 (Day of Repentence for Britain's sins against Jews and especially its betrayal of its 1917 Legal Agreement with Israel), if we do not as a Body hit the mark God has set for intercession and repentence THEN OUR LAST BEST CHANCE FOR REVIVAL HAS GONE. We will get Chuck Pierce's prophecied 8 years of slavery to Islam. On September 17 at Alton Towers husbands will be segregated from wives, women must fully cover up, Bibles, alcohol, etc will be banned. This will be seized on by local authority P.C. brigades and using the persecution of "IT IS OFFENSIVE TO MOSLEMS" within a year men and women will not be able to swim together in swimmingpools. Women will rapidly find they are banned from dressing as they choose in most public parks and places. Christian worship of men and women together will soon be stopped. If however The Holy Spirit sends the grace to hit the mark, then the 70 year curse will be broken as in Daniel Chapter 9. Maybe not until next July 2007 which is the 70th Anniversary of 1937 Parliament finally tearing up The Balfour 1917 Agreement which legally promised Israel and Jerusalem to The Jews. But it may be sooner. March 2007 is the 200th anniversary of The Wilberforce Legislation which started The World Abholition of Slavery. End of November 1936 is probable start of 70 year curse OR a final warning it is about to start. The greatest symbol of The British Empire, The 1851 CRYSTAL PALACE burned down. A few days later, The King abdicated ! The most cheerful sign of progress is The England v Pakistan (which means PURE ISLAMIC STATE) Cricket series. We have not won at home since 1982 to Pakistan. We went 1-0 up today. 1982 is before the time Islam started its bid for power in Britain. Indeed it was not really much on the radar here despite The Iranian revolution 3 years before taking The US Embassy staff Captive and in 1980 kidnapping staff in a London Embassy. Here comes The Israel message. .......................... TIME TO AGREE WITH GOD OVER ISRAEL. SIN IS DISAGREEING WITH GOD. SIN is a very, very dangerous place to be. You may get away with it for a longtime as an individual, church or nation BUT God's Patience and forbearance is not endless. His Patience and Lovingkindness does finally come to an end if we do not repent. Over the biggest sin in The British and American Body of Christ, God's Patience is up. By the end of September 2006, either we will agree with HIM or He will punish us along with our nation. HE LONGS FOR US TO REPENT, AGREE WITH HIM and RECEIVE UNBELIEVABLE LONGED FOR REVIVAL, HEALINGS, BLESSINGS, FALLING CRIME RATE, EVAPORATION OF FEAR AND MUCH MORE. But we must choose...and choose very soon. In the last two generations People like to think of God as super super nice, would not hurt a fly under any circumstances, never gets angry, never gets jealous. Only nice side, no other side to His Character. This is one huge lie. God is so severe He needed to torture and destroy Jesus so as to be able to avoid torturing and destroying all the sinners in the world. He is by character MIDDLE EASTERN, not British. He gets very jealous, very angry in a flash. But He can forgive and be super generous in a flash. He warns us He is a very Jealous and Moody God (Exodus 20 verse 5). He can go from incredible extremes of RED HOT RAGE to tender loving kindness in a moment when we seek forgiveness. He has moods far more extreme than any human. This may help understand how unreasonable He can be... or at least can seem to be to us limited sinful humans. He has ALL THE POWER. He is THE BOSS. He does not seek re-election or human approval for HE ALONE BEING ON THE ABSOLUTE THRONE. He is not a temporary elected ruler. He is The IMMORTAL DICTATOR. He is not a nice ceremonial quaint pageant monarch of modern times. He is not a powerless soap opera monarch. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE MONARCH who can and does make war, peace, execute, pardon on His Whim. He has and always will have ABSOLUTE POWER...coupled with a moody nature ! We struggle to cope with this in modern times, so we edit it all out and make a false craven image of a super nice harmless God who can also give us only comfort and candy. This is why we have NO FEAR OF THE LORD in The Church. This is why we ignore and edit out most of The Bible and God's Nature. Above all He is unreasonable...beyond human reason over Israel. You can not reason with Him. He demands total obedience especially from HIS PEOPLE over Israel. Many many Christians (who are otherwise doing fantastic work compared to the rest of us) completely fail this test. Unreasonable as it seems, this puts them and their family firmly on His Disapproval List. 1. Like it or not, Israel is His Favourite. The people and nation closest to His Heart. See Psalm.148:14 He loves them like He Loves Abrahamn, Isaac, Jacob whom He renames ISRAEL, Judah, Joseph, David, Mary, Paul, all The Apostles. He CAN and HAS punished them with the greatest severity. He has criticised them over and over. BUT IF YOU DO IT, HE WILL TEAR INTO YOU WITH A FEROCITY which is terrifying. He promised Abrahamn: "I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who curse you". Genesis 12 verse 3. 2. Jacob, later renamed Israel by God, was a conman, cheat, fraud, liar. YET GOD LOVED HIM. God will not debate this nor tolerate dissent from us. DAVID was an adulterer and murderer of the husband he had wronged. GOD declared Him: "A man after My Own Heart". I do not want to outrage people BUT GOD does not have to act in a fair way as we consider fair. HE MADE THE UNIVERSE. HE MAKES THE RULES. HE HAS THE POWER TO HEAL OR DESTROY.....and He is like an incredibly jealous possessive emotionally charged lover over Israel. It is more dangerous to upset God over Israel than to upset a male elephant about to mate with his favourite female. 3. Like it or not ISRAEL is still the apple of God's eye Zechariah.2:8 IF YOU HARM ISRAEL IT IS LIKE POKING GOD IN THE EYE ! Read Zechariah Verse 8. It is right there. It may be to you unreasonable BUT harming ISRAEL in any way is red rag to a bull as far as God is concerned. Do not make excuses, do not look for Mercy. Just repent and repent QUICKLY ! It may save your life or that of dear loved ones. God is NOT REASONABLE about ISRAEL. 4. Read Deuteronomy 32:8-11. God gave guardian angels to every nation in the world BUT not ISRAEL. It was too precious to HIM HE PERSONALLY GUARDS ISRAEL ! It is much more important to HIM than AMERICA, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES, IRELAND, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, NEW ZEALAND, CANADA etc etc GOD ADORES ISRAEL like a moody love sick teenager. You can not reason with HIM. God will never change HIS PLAN and destroys and humiliates and curses nations who oppose HIM over ISRAEL Romans.11:29; Psalm.33:11-12 5. THREE SLAVERIES, THREE RESTORATIONS. God told Abrahamn His descendants would go into slavery for over 400 years in Egypt. They did between Joseph, Jacob renamed ISRAEL down 400 years to Moses. Slavery ? They even had to murder their baby boys. Every single one had to be murdered ! God also told Abrahamn that His Descendants would return to occupy the land He had promised them: ISRAEL, THE PROMISED LAND. They built The Temple in Jerusalem under Solomon. Incidentally in The Bible Palestinians are called PHILISTINES. The most famous Palestinian was Goliath ! The Romans changed their name, just as The Jews were once known as Hebrews SO The Palestinians were in The Bible known as Philistines. The same Philistines of Goliath, the ones Samson killed when he brought down the pillars of the building. Personally I like every Palestinian I know. But in The Bible God never seems to have a nice word to say about them because they were always trying to attack and take Israel from the Israelis. It may seem to you unjust, unreasonable. They moved in while Israel was in slavery in Egypt for over 400 years. It may frankly seem to you evil. BUT GOD IS GOD. HE gave this land to the descendants of Abrahamn, Isaac and Jacob now known as ISRAEL. HE will accept NO talking back at him over this. HE WILL ACCEPT NO dissent. HE will not tolerate pleas for HIM to be reasonable ! HE gave ISRAEL to the people of ISRAEL FOREVER. He told all Palestinians and sons of Ishmail (Arabs) to live EAST OF ISRAEL where He will bless them. God will not back down, negotiate, compromise over this. Quite Literally He demands TOTAL OBEDIENCE from us His People...or else He gets very very very mad and can throw ALL the POWER OF HIS ANGER at us and even our nation. Last year within minutes of The US pressuring and agreeing to Sharon giving up GAZA...NEW ORLEANS was destroyed. Prime Minister Sharon himself gave away some of God's Land and was soon in a coma. Prime Minister Rabin did the same and God sat back and allowed him to be assassinated. The Swedish Prime Minister who first suggested dividing Israel was assassinated AS was his daughter. No-one assassinates politicians in Scandinavia. God stirred up ice cool Swedes to murder because their leader suggested dividing Israel, GOD'S LAND. God in The Bible was always kicking The Philistines now called PALESTINIANS off HIS LAND. He only let them come back to torment and punish Israel when Israel sinned. But as soon as Israel repented, He kicked The Palestinians off the land again ! Unreasonable ? Outrageous ? Not very British ? Can God not compromise ? How can reasonable people agree with God over this ? Well you can argue and refuse to agree with Him. Then again you are free to jump out a plane without a parachute..you are just not free to avoid the consequences ! God seems impossible over Israel. What about the poor Philistines now called Palestinians ? Why is God so unfair ? Alas, GOD is like THIS over ISRAEL. In my case, PRAISE MY SOUL THE LORD that He is like this. I am only writing this to help those having trouble choosing to agree with God. Praise My Soul The Lord. Second Exile: God warned sinful ISRAEL that they would go into a second slavery for 70 years in Babylon and during this punishment The Temple in JERUSALEM would be destroyed as would JERUSALEM. He said this through JEREMIAH. The Temple and Jerusalem was destroyed and They went for 70 years into vile slavey. Mothers separated from children, husbands from wives. Women forced to be prostitutes. Men castrated for fun. Children abused in the vilest fashion. AFTER 70 years of this they were only released after DANIEL's long intercession and repentence in DANIEL 9. THEN they were set free again to build a Temple in Jerusalem. They wee free from slavery, castration, daily sexual abuse. Third, Jesus warned them in Mathew 24 The Temple would within a generation be utterly destroyed with not one stone left (which it was). Elsewhere they were warned that the people would be taken off into captivity into other nations BEFORE being restored for a THIRD and FINAL TIME to the Promised Land which would then flourish. They were for nearly 1900 years wandring in every nation and land except their own. They were tortured, exiled, murdered, burned, holocausted in France, Germany, Spain, Russia and England. The Nazi vesion was only the most recent (1933-1945) and England even in 1290 had a real real good go at a holocaust of Jews ! Even Ireland persecuted Jews and also refused to accept fleeing Jewish children in the 1930s and even during the 1939-45 War. The European Union Building in Strasburg is deliberately built on the spot where Jews were burned in very big numbers ! This was hundreds of years ago. The Nazis were not the only mass murderers of Jews. The Christian Czars and Stalin in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania and Latvia all murdered Jews on an industrial scale. It was until 1948 that God called time on all this and fulfilled His Promise to return them once and for all to Israel. Billy Grahamn called it by far the biggest miracle of the Twentieth Century. He restored Jerusalem to them in June 1967. This was when The Charismatic Movement broke out worldwide. They have still not rebuilt The Temple which is still an Islamic Mosque which states on it: GOD HAS NO SON. But God has promised they will rebuild The Temple. THIS TIME THEY ARE HERE TO STAY UNTIL JESUS COMES TO REIGN IN JERUSALEM GOVERNING EACH NATION FOR 1000 YEARS. God's truly faithful servants are commanded to prayer and incredibly intense compassion over Israel's condition (Psa.102:13-17) This is a COMMAND not a suggestion. THIS IS GOD's ACID TEST of whether Christians are faithful or rebellious or lukewarm. He spits out the lukewarm. As I said He is just plain crazy over Israel but He has the power to bless us or destroy us all. So I see no sense in anyone crossing Him over Israel and Jerusalem. 6. God commands His People (i.e. you and me) to give Him and ourselves no rest until He makes Jerusalem the most praised City in the world (Isa.62:1-7) GO ON READ THIS BIT FROM ISAIAH. He even claims to be a love sick husband on his honeymoon night concerning Jerusalem ! We are dealing with an ALL POWERFUL PASSIONATE EMOTIONAL TEMPREMENTAL MIDDLE EASTERN CHARACTER. Best and safest plan is to support Israel and especially Jerusalem at all times with great enthusiasm in every way you can. 7. God wants to give us a zealous, passionate, UNREASONABLE urgent overwhelming desire of night and day prayer for Israel's salvation (Romans.9:2-3 and Romans 10:1) THEY ARE HIS FAVOURITES. Like it or not, they are. HE IS THE BOSS ! 8. God also commands us to seek the physical good of the Israeli people and to especially pray for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem (Psa.122:6-9) Go on read these verses. Psalm 122 verse 6-9 Stunning ! You are not commanded by name to pray for Rome, Paris, Washington, New York, London, L.A., Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Llanelli, Belfast, Berlin, Dublin, Oxford, Cambridge or Chicago ! You are COMMANDED to pray for THE PEACE and PROSPERITY of JERUSALEM ! (o.k. elsewhere in The Bible you are commanded to pray for the success and health of the city or town you personally live in...but EVERYONE of GOD'S PEOPLE MUST PRAY FOR THE PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF JERUSALEM!) See also Romans 15:25-27 How much has Your Church given to poor people in Jerusalem or Israel ? JERUSALEM is top of His List in weighing up our obedience to Him. The point is, LIKE IT OR LUMP IT, we have to obey God's Command to pray for the spiritual and physical success of Jerusalem and Israel. 9. We must pray that God will COMPLETE the spiritual return of the Jewish people to Messiah and the physical return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel (Isa.49:5-6) This may yet be incomplete. They were promised the land from Lebanon to The Euphrates to Egypt ! God increased the land they held in 1967 after a WAR. He may now increase this again and again through WAR until it is complete. I do not argue HE is reasonable as we understand reasonable. I just argue it is best, wisest, safest to love and accept God as He is ! Israel's present War was prophecied not only by leading prophets early in 2006 BUT also The BIBLE. God will deal with TYRE, SIDON and other named places in LEBANON. He promised to do this over 2500 years ago ! See AMOS 1 verse 9. There are other places in Lebanon named for destruction. In Ezekiel 28 we learn that Lucifer, who is satan is called THE KING OF TYRE. WHAT ? Satan is KING OF TYRE ? Why TYRE in Lebanon ? I do not know BUT GOD SAYS THIS IN THE BIBLE. Tyre is the centre of the present conflict between Israel and the terrorist Hizbollah. Although invisible to human eyes, The BIBLE REVEALS IT IS HERE THAT HE HAS HIS SUPERSTRONG HQ. Here is HIS TOP Ephesians 6 Principality ! The BIBLE then states THAT THE SINS of Lebanon ruled by satan, is TRADING: " By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned" Ezekiel 28:16 Now see ISAIAH 23 verse 8. "Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, Whose merchants are princes, Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?" Isaiah 23:8 Who are the honorable of the earth that trade with Tyre ? None other than the mega rich Islamic traders in OIL. Islam has used bribery, blackmail, bullying of Judeo-Christian nations to pressure them to abandon The God of The Bible and embrace the false god Allah! Sometimes covertly. Sometimes brazenly. But each year they have taken more of our money for oil and then bought up more and more of countries in The West but by far the biggest case being Britain and its Capital London. Islam own the ports: in a crisis this is our lifeblood for food and fuel imports. It is because of this trading IN TYRE, SIDON AND LEBANON that Islam has invaded Britain, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many more nations! ISLAM has bought the 3 biggest most influential tourist attractions in England in the last 12 months. The ones with maximum influence on young children. They have bought UK ports and many key businesses. Islamic oil money is trying to buy major football clubs. They employ many UK MPs. They have a stranglehold on more and more areas of UK life. They have just introduced the first ISLAM day at ALTON TOWERS (The UK Disneyland) in which women must wear full Islamic covering and even husbands and wives must be separated on rides. THIS is aimed to spread across all UK life and local authority gyms, swimmingpools, schools, sport via Islamic political and financial power. The place where most of the oil deals are made is mostly Lebanon, (Tyre and Sidon). LEBANON was where no drink, no sex Saudis came up to the 1970s and now again to drink and have sex with hundreds of girls. Ditto Iranians, Iraquis and all the islamic people forbidden things in their own countries. They had started to come again. THE BIBLE continues: Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot: " Take a harp, go about the city, You forgotten harlot; Make sweet melody, sing many songs, That you may be remembered." And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that Yahveh will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. Isaiah 23:15-17 Tyre was just getting back into the sex, sin, gambling and gin scene. It is time for God to deal with TYRE, the seat of Satan's Power. Satan is King of Tyre. BUT GOD IS GOD and TIME IS UP. PERSONALLY I love all Lebanese people I have ever met (and most of the Lebanese food). I would have loved a beach holiday there and adore the Lebanese coffees. BUT Lebanon has been a "pretend" kingdom fronting for its real bosses Syria and Iran that have EXPRESSLY and REPEATEDLY vowed to annihilate Israel. The leaders openly spoil for war with Israel. They really mean they want to annahilate all The Jews everywhere. You can not negotiate with them. It is just the same demon as in Hitler. EXTERMINATION for its own sake. Genocide for its own sake. The present Hezb'allah 16 000 missiles are supplied and paid for by IRAN, sent through Syria, across Lebanese roads and bridges to within a mile of Israel so they can be fired by IRANIAN soldiers and Iranian advisors of Hezb'allah. YES missiles have been fired from Lebanon by Iranian soldiers! Iranian soldiers are also in IRAQ fighting the American and British soldiers. ISRAEL is always attacked from THE NORTH ! Everytime in The Bible. Lebanon has always been used to be a thorn in the flesh of Israel. ACCORDING TO GOD...not me...ACCORDING TO GOD: satan is King of Tyre and rules in Lebanon ! But JESUS KING OF ISRAEl, KING OF THE JEWS, THE KING WHO WILL RETURN TO AND CHOOSE TO RULE FROM JERUSALEM has decided to bring down the throne of satan in Lebanon. THIS IS WHY it is all happening right now. DO NOT DARE HATE THE ISRAELIS or Jews in other countries. JESUS...the God YOU CLAIM TO SERVE is doing all this. HE in THE BIBLE said He would take down TYRE and He is doing it. JESUS is now taking down ISLAM through this conflict. JESUS is destroying ISLAM and setting free the Muslims to believe in Him and not the false god allah. JESUS is taking away from the demon allah, control of oil trading and its power to boss nations around. WE ARE NOT FIGHTING FLESH AND BLOOD. Islam is not flesh and blood. It is an Ephesians 6 PRINCIPALITY OF DARKNESS IN THE HEAVENLY REALM. But like EXODUS 17 verse 8 and onward, once again Israel is doing God's work in defeating allah. WE NEED TO PRAY LIKE MOSES, AARON AND HUR for Israel's victory...from which we will profit by seeing Islam's power collapse in The West AND hundreds of millions of Moslems become Christians. I have NEVER met a Moslem who regretted becoming a Christian ! Defeating Islamic terror in Israel will cause Islamic terror to be defeated in my nation, your nation, every nation! "THE GOD OF ISRAEL has purposed it, To bring to dishonor the pride of all glory, To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth". Isaiah 23:9 GOD THE FATHER of ISRAEL, JESUS KING OF ISRAEL, DESCENDANT OF KING DAVID, KING OF THE JEWS and THE HOLY SPIRIT who crushed Goliath and all Israel's enemies is now shaming all the honorable oil traders of the earth through His SEVERE judgment on the principalities of evil in Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon. He Himself has PLANNED IT and announced it over 2500 years ago. We are not to argue with HIM over this. The happy outcome of this is that Lebanon will not be a thorn on the side of Israel anymore and that Israel will experience safety in her GOD PROMISED Land. Even Lebanon and Syria gain as they will see a huge move of The Holy Spirit bringing people to Jesus Christ. When GOD shows Himself ALL POWERFUL on behalf of His Covenant People, then the wicked neighbors of Israel will know that THE GOD OF ISRAEL is King over all the earth and not allah! BUT WATCH OUT BIG TIME for God to destroy, COMPLETELY NUKE, DAMASCUS IN SYRIA ! See AMOS 1 verse 3 and moreover ISAIAH 17 verse 1-3. Please never go to Damascus without crystal clear guidance from God. Never let your children and loved ones go UNLESS GOD SENDS YOU A DREAM OR ANGEL ! It is on The Biblical list to be utterly destroyed. Not my choice. I like a lot of Syrians BUT GOD HAS SAID IT WILL HAPPEN. This city will be utterly destroyed. Just a heap of ruins. But at least in ISAIAH 17 verse 7 and 8 it causes a mass turning in The Middle East to The True God and away from the false god. ISRAEL's HOLY MISSION FROM GOD is TO DESTROY ISLAM ! Note: not destroy Muslims but the demonic cancer of Islam keeping Muslims from accepting JESUS CHRIST as LORD ! Islam will fall in The Middle East and then worldwide. because of Israel. Muslims will be set free and benefit. This was prophecied in: Deuteronomy 25 verse 19: THEREFORE WHEN THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU REST FROM ALL YOUR ENEMIES (let us say this was 1982-2000), IN THE PROMISED LAND, you are to UTTERLY DESTROY THE NAME OF AMALEK (ALLAH) from under heaven. NEVER FORGET THIS ! BACK TO LOVING AND PRAYING FOR ISRAEL. 10. DO YOU GENUINELY WANT TO SEE WORLDWIDE REVIVAL ? DO YOU WANT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS SAVED? MAYBE MORE. The Jewish people's acceptance of Jesus as The True Messiah will lead to world-wide revival of unprecedented magnitude. See: Romans 11 verse 25-29 11. Jesus said His Second Coming to earth will be closely linked to the people of Jerusalem and Israel 's national turning to Him as Lord and Messiah(Matt.23:39) 12. LOOK especially hard at Exod.32:13 You promised Abrahamn, Isaac and ISRAEL, " I will multiply your descendants as the stars in Heaven, AND I WILL GIVE ALL OF THE LAND I HAVE PROMISED to your descendants and they shall INHERIT IT FOREVER". Just look at Deut.32 verses 16 to 35 God gets very angry with Israel. So we do not need to do it. He does it so well, He does not need us to add to it. BUT when He gets over his angry mood, well it is like a lover making it up after a big row. Deuteronomy 32 verse 34: ISRAEL is my special jewel. He is SO TENDER. Even God in Heaven falls under an old adgae: YOU CAN NOT HELP WHO YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH. God is IN LOVE with Israel. Wildly, passionately IN LOVE. We had better join Him because we can not beat him. Deuteronomy 32 verse 35: I decree the punishment of Israel's enemies and critics...THEIR DOOM IS SEALED ! CONCLUSION: I love Israel and all Jewish people. I love them easily and naturally. It is not hard for me to accept God's Attitude to Israel and Jerusalem. BUT Even if I did not, I love myself and my own family, town, compatriots and my nation. Even if I did not love Israel, self-interest compels a sane person to pray for, bless and support Israel unconditionally. YES you are being tested, but to fail the test is to poke God in the eye. There will be awesome consequences. But if you pass the test, there will be astonishingly glorious rewards from God. See JOEL 2:12-17 WE ARE DEALING WITH A MOODY ALL POWERFUL GOD WITH BOTH MERCY WE CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE BUT ALSO SEVERITY WE CAN NOT PLAY GAMES WITH. HE REALLY INTENDS TO BLIND KINGS WITH THE BRILLIANT BRIGHTNESS OF JERUSALEM's GLORY 62:1-4 JERUSALEM will literally be renamed THE LAND OF GOD's DELIGHT. He will make it the biggest tourist magnet there has ever been ! Incredible but true. More than London, Rome, Paris, New York, Miami, The beaches of France and Spain. So ok guys, you cross Him if you want to. As for me and my household WE WILL FULLY AGREE THAT JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL belongs to The Israelis and Jews everywhere. We will pray and work for this. We are not so stupid as to argue with God over the one issue He calls his plumbline test ! I pray we never slip on this one. Please God give us the grace not to slip up on this one. I pray God gives you the grace not to slip up either. LORD GOD OF ISRAEL please bless Israel and Jerusalem and all Jews everywhere with peace and prosperity. Please let Your Church all pray for and fully and zealously support Israel. LET ALL CHRISTIANS IN MY TOWN, MY NATION, YOUR TOWN and YOUR NATION PASS THE TEST. And PS...Dear God of Israel please send The Holy Spirit to release Moslems everywhere from Islam, from hatred of Israel and hatred of Jews. And Yes in so far as You possibly can. please help the children and adults suffering in this conflict, the homeless, the frightened, the refugees. Please. Jonathan http://www.anglicansforisrael.com/ ___________________________________________ Arab-Israel Conflict – Forgotten Facts! – Intro The term "Palestinian" is itself a masterful twisting of history. To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Mediterranean tribe, the Philistines ("Invaders" in Hebrew), that disappeared out over almost 3000 years ago. The connection between this tribe and modern day Arabs is nil. Romans, in order to conceal their shame and anger with rebellious regions, changed the references to Judea and Samaria by naming them Palestine . 1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in the 14th century B. C. E. Two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Since 1272 B. C. E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for up to 1,000 years with a continuous Jewish presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 3. The only Arab dominion since the Arab invasion and conquest in 635 C. E. lasted no more than 22 years. 4. King David founded the city of Jerusalem . Mohammed never came to Jerusalem . 5. For over 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem , they never sought to make it their capital and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. 7. Jews pray facing Jerusalem . Muslims pray facing Mecca (often with their backs toward Jerusalem ). 8. In 1854, according to a report in the New York Tribune, Jews constituted two-thirds of the population of that holy city. (The source: A journalist on assignment in the Middle East that year for the Tribune. His name was Karl Marx. Yes, that Karl Marx.) 9. In 1867, Mark Twain took a tour of Palestine. This is how he described that land: A desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given over wholly to weeds. A silent, mournful expanse. We never saw a human. 10. In 1882, official Ottoman Turk census figures showed that, in the entire Land of Israel, there were only 141 000 Muslims, both Arab and non-Arab.. 11. A travel guide to Palestine and Syria was published in 1906 by Karl Bae deker; The book estimated the total population of Jerusalem at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews. 12. As the Jews came and drained the swamps and made the deserts bloom, Arabs followed. They came for jobs, for prosperity, for freedom. And, they came in large numbers. 13. In 1922, with what was widely acknowledged as the illegal separation of Trans-Jordan, the Jews were forbidden to settle on almost 77% of the Palestine, while Arab settlement went unrestricted and encouraged by British mandatory authority. 14. Prior to the Second World War Mojli Amin, a member of the Arab Defense Committee for Palestine , proposed the idea "that all the Arabs of Palestine will leave and be divided up amongst the neighboring Arab countries. In exchange for this, all the Jews living in Arab countries will leave and come to Palestine." 15. Did you know that Saudi Arabia was not created until 1913, Lebanon until 1920? Iraq did not exist as a nation until 1932, Syria until 1941; the borders of Jordan were established in 1946 and Kuwait in 1961. Any of these nations that would say Israel is only a recent arrival would have to deny their own rights as recent arrivals as well. They did not exist as countries. They were all under the control of the Turks. Over 80% of the original British Mandate land was given to Arabs without population transfer of Arabs from the land designated for Jews. 16. In 1947, the Jewish state huddled on 18% of the original British Mandate land. The Jews accepted it gratefully. The Arabs rejected it with a vengeance and seven Arab states immediately dec lared war against Israel. 17. In 1948, the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Most of them left in fear of being killed by their own Arab brothers as traitors. 18. Some 850,000 Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab countries, due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms. 19. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is claimed to be around 630,000 (where did they get this number?). Based on population census, estimated number of Arabs who left Israel was around 460,000. They were ordered to leave by Arab leaders at the time. 20. From 1948 till 1967 Arabs made no attempt to create a Palestinian state. Under Jordanian rul e, Jewish holy sites were desecrated , 58 synagogues in Jerusalem were destroyed and the Jews and Christians were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths. 21. Arabs began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1964 only, on the initiative of Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat. The idea became popular Arab propaganda tool after Israel re-captured Judea , Samaria and Gaza in the defensive 6-Day War of 1967 , 22. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, Arab-Palestinians is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel. 23. Arab refug ees INTENTIONALLY were not absorbed or integrated by the rich Arab oil states that control 99.9 percent of the Middle East landmass. They are kept as virtual prisoners by the Arab power brokers with misplaced hatred for Jews and Western democracy. 24. There is only one Jewish state. There are 60 Muslim countries, including 22 Arab nations. 25. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. 26. Pan-Arabism or the doctrine of Muslim Caliphate declares that all land that used to belong to Muslims must be returned to them. Thus, Spain, for example, must eventually be re-conquered. The Palestine Mandate. In July 1922, the League of Nations entrusted the Great Britain with The Palestine Mandate, r ecognizing "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine," Great Britain was called upon to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine - Eretz Israel (Land of Israel). Three months later, in order to obtain full control over Suez canal, the Great Britain made a deal with Hashemite Kingdom, Egypt and France. The trans-Jordan (77% of the Mandate) was given to the king's brother in exchange for the Sinai, which was given to Egypt . Golan Heights (5% of the Palestinian Mandate) was ceded to the French controlled Syrian Mandate. This robbery was legalized immediately by, the puppet of the Great Britain and France - the League of Nations ! htt p://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/Palestine_Mandate.html General Assembly resolution 181 , of Nov. 29, 1947: It calls for the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem to be controlled by a "special international regime" to protect its holy places. The Zionist movement seeking to establish a Jewish state accepted the partition, the Arabs rejected it. The resolution was not carried out: After Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948 , war broke out pitting the embryonic state against surrounding 7 Arab states. Israel gained more land than it would have had under the partition resolution. Neither Israel nor Jordan, which controlled the divided parts of Jerusalem after the war , accepted control of the holy city by an international body. Security Council resolution 242 , Nov. 22, 1967: It calls for "withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied" in the 1967 Six Day War and for "respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." The resolution was not carried out because the Arab side did not recognize Israel, and Israel refused to withdraw. Why Left or Right? by Steven Shamrak One of the major distinctions between humans and animals is that we have analytical intellect. At the same time, we base most of our ideas and form opinions on our emotions, beliefs and assumptions, not on facts. Blinded by personal psycho-emotional history, people dismiss logic of the facts and create assumption to fit and support their own belief structure. Completely opposite ideologies: Lefties, Fascists and Islamic expansionists/terrorists found themselves united on one issue only – Hate toward Jews . Quite often, I receive mail from them. Those messages are mainly just rhetoric ba sed on preconceived ideas and psycho -emotional cocktail. I have never received letters that would contradict the historical facts about: Right of Jewish people to their homeland – " Palestine"; The history of aggression and terror created by Arabs; The U. N. bias against Israel. But, I am often accused of being: Anti-Arab or Muslim . - As a member of the Jewish tribe, with thousands of years being the victims in history of persecution and discrimination , I can assure you that my view are not Anti-something. I just express a pro-Jewish point of view based on facts not legends. At the same time, I do respect the freedom and rights of any religion and political point of view, even the fascist one, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. Too emotional. - Arab leaders and clerics, often seen on TV, fumigating when they talk about Israel. Communists and Fascists are so passionate when they scream anti-Israel/anti-Semitic slogans. This is apparently acceptable. However, when a Jew logically presents facts in support of the Jewish state, suddenly, it is wrong to be emotional. Too Right wing. - I do not consider myself Right or Left wing. I base my ideas and views on facts not emotions. There are too many people (including many Jews) who are very eager to promote, self-destructive, Left wing views. Actually, I can't u nderstand why, in relation to Israel's right to exist there are Right or Left wind political points of view. Isn't it supposed to be point of view based on historical facts and the right of the Jewish people to live on the land of their ancestors? Dear Friends, Three years have passed since I started to send my letters out. I often asked one question: Why do you do it? I would like to answer it here: Unfortunately, most people, including many Jews, are driven by emotions. They form their opinions under the influence of the manipulative world media and their own psychological predispositions, ignoring facts and logic. Israel is loosing " ;Media War"! Neither Israeli governments nor Jewish leadership in other countries have been doing anything about PR side of the Arab-Israel conflict. I try to disseminate several points in my letters: · Israel is a front-line defense in the war between Islamic expansionism and Western democracies. · UN anti-Israel bias and Double-standard is applied to Israel by International community. · Jewish people have the right to live in peace on the land of their ancestors. · Israel is the only Jewish state. · There are 60 Muslim countries, including 22 Arab ones. They have enough land to accommodate all Arabs. · Negotiation will not stop terrorism. It only makes it stronger. Elie Wiesel said: "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." As members of Western democratic society we all have an obligation to fight indifference and protect our way of life – Democracy - Social justice and freedom of speech. The blind Israel bashing is not a part of a true democracy. It is ugly left over of the " Old World". Steven Shamrak. ![]() |
