Wonder Woman: Mossad Agent?

29 11 2017

This is a true story for a little post-Thanksgiving humor. A Lebanese newspaper writing about a supposed Israeli spy, claimed that his contact was Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman. It was not true, of course, they confused her with someone else. It was just easier to find a picture of Gal Gadot and hope people wouldn’t notice. Ha! They noticed.

It’s a great source of pride for the Jewish state that the modern incarnation of Wonder Woman is being played by proud Israeli actress Gal Gadot. But Gadot found herself cast in a very different role this week by the Lebanese newspaper Al Liwaa.

The Beirut-based daily was reporting on the arrest last Friday of Lebanese actor and playwright Ziad Itani on charges of espionage. Al Liwaa needed a photo of the Israeli agent who turned Itani, identified as one Collette Vianfi, so it published a shot of the most famous and attractive Jewess it could find – Gal Gadot!

Other Lebanese newspapers and online media outlets immediately pointed out the error, and Al Liwaa’s editorial staff issued an apology. Israel Today

On a more serious note, be in prayer for the decision about moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. The decision by President Trump will be announced in the next 48 hours. If he signs the waiver again, it will be another six months before the US Embassy moves to the Israeli capital city. Every other US Embassy around the world is in the host nation’s capital. It is about time.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for rain!

THANKS-giving

22 11 2017

Dry Bones Thanksgiving 2017

We pause to grateful and humble THANKS to our wonderful heavenly Father, Yehovah God. Once again we remember to thank Him for His grace and mercy. Here is a flashback to my 2011 Thanksgiving blog where I explained why the emphasis should be on the first syllable.

BE THANKFUL. Yesterday, Doreen and I stopped by to see our “spiritual daughter”, Laura, at her store downtown. We always honor her as the one who taught us how to pronounce this holiday. (She actually teaches a class in how to speak Southern.) I used to say Happy ThanksGIVING, but she emphasized the first syllable: Happy THANKSgiving. And she is right, of course. This day is about being thankful. 11-23-11

A Psalm of Thanksgiving
Make a joyful shout to Yehovah, all you lands!
Serve Yehovah with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that Yehovah, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[fn]
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For Yehovah is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 100

Thank you to all who read and support our ministry. You are loved. May you have a blessed THANKS-giving time this year.

I am thankful for three days of rain this week in Israel.

Saudi Checkmate

18 11 2017

Saudi kings

Saudi Arabia transformation will be complete with the ascension to the throne of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, aka MBS. Reports are swirling in the media that King Salman, who is 81, will leave the throne next week. His 32-year-old son represents a spectacular departure from many years of elderly kings.

Report claims Saudi king, 81, to hand reins to son next week

The 81-year-old king will continue as a ceremonial figurehead, handing over official leadership of the country to his son — often referred to as MBS, the Daily Mail quoted royal sources as saying.Times of Israel

Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier reported the story Friday night, but it does not appear on their website today. While the timing may change, it is nevertheless inevitable for the young Prince to become King. Stay tuned.

Saudi Prince Muhammad is on eve of accession, plans war on Iran, with Israeli attack on Hizballah DEBKAfile

This has huge implications for Israel and for the Psalm 83 War we have discussed for several years now. Pray for wisdom for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Pray that he will listen to Yehovah God’s guidance from the Holy Spirit. Many world events are falling into place with Biblical prophecy.

There seems to be a rapid rise of millennials as heads-of-state, such as Macron in France and Kim Jung-Un in North Korea. You also see this in the immediate future of the Democrat Party. Sociologists chart the present living generations as: the Greatest Gen, baby boomers, Gen X, millennials and Gen Z. I think it is interesting that they are named using the last letter of the alphabet, since I believe we are living in the last generation before the Messiah comes. I explained this in my book, Generation LAST.

Gen Z kids were the first-born with the Internet and are suspected to be the most individualistic and technology-dependent generation. Sometimes referred to as the iGeneration. NPR

With all the changes on the world stage, you can be sure of one thing. God is right on schedule. He is in control and the Messiah Yeshua is coming soon. Keep looking up!

I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. Luke 21:32-33 NLT

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain in Israel!

Rumors of War

11 11 2017

sunnivsshianov102017

See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Matthew 24:6-7

This week’s resignation of Lebanon’s Prime Minister (via video from Saudi Arabia) has signaled a dangerous escalation in the tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Until now, they have fought a proxy war in Yemen, but it now threatens expansion to direct war. They represent the two largest sects of Islam. The Saudi Monarchy controls Mecca and leads the Sunni branch of Islam which is about 85% of all Muslims. Even though Iran and the Shia are a much smaller percentage, Iran has a powerful and fanatical military, plus terrorist militias spread through the Middle East.

This poses a real danger to Israel and could even involve the US. We should be watchful and pray for Yehovah God’s purpose and peace.

People better start waking up and paying attention to what is happening in the Middle East, because the situation is becoming quite serious.  If things go badly, we could be facing a major regional war which would involve not only Saudi Arabia and Iran, but also potentially the United States and Israel. Prophecy News Watch

Psalm 83 outlines the present threats to Israel and also gives us the answer in the form of a prayer in verse 9: Deal with them as with Midian. This short prayer is pregnant with revelation. It refers back to the time of Gideon’s victory with his 300 men over the Midianites.

When the three hundred blew the trumpets, Yehovah set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; Judges 7:22

This is exactly the pattern now sweeping the Middle East. Israel’s enemies are fighting each other since the Arab Spring. You can see it in internal civil wars like Syria, but also between nations. Most Bible students have not noticed that two different Greek words are used in Matthew 24 (quoted above). It is not repeating itself. First it refers to ethnic divisions and then to national divisions. We also see this pattern in conflicts in the whole world.

Yet, the counsel of Yeshua is clear. “The end is not yet.”

The Psalm 83 War must be settled first, followed by a time of peace before the Ezekiel Gog & Magog War. So, fasten your seat-belt, but know that God is in control and we are right on His schedule.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and pray for rain!

Quick History Lesson

8 11 2017

A Quick History Lesson

President Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King were both Republicans.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was the “enforcement” arm of the Democrat Party well into the 20th century. (See PBS article)

The Democratic Divorce from Israel is nearly complete.

You can see from the above simple facts that the political move to the left is a serious threat to Israel. This is not actually about politics, but about truth and lies.

Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible. Ephesians 5:10-14

Pray for truth. Pray for rain in Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Why Multiculturalism is Bad

3 11 2017

diversityFirst, let’s be clear. The Kingdom of Yehovah God is multiracial, but “multicultural” is completely different.

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nationRevelation 5:9

If you mean that people have different minor customs, that is normal. However, if you define culture as maintaining a completely separate system, then you find yourself in conflict with the Bible. Islam under Sharia law is the best current example.

Sharia is an entire way of life for the faithful Muslim. It is not only a religious duty, but it governs every aspect of one’s life. Because it is a supremacist ideology, it is incompatible with any other government or religion. Sharia is in direct contradiction to the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and even the Magna Carta. Most Americans have forgotten that our most important founding document is the Bible. All of our great founding documents issue directly from Biblical principles and concepts.

There is a distinct, clearly defined, Biblical culture that, much like Sharia, governs every aspect of the believer’s life. It starts with the Ten Commandments and continues through the great love chapter of 1 Corinthians 13. Following these precepts, leads to historic blessings and favor from the God of the Bible. The Western nations have been blessed because of Biblical, Judeo-Christian foundations.

Let all the earth fear Yehovah; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Yehovah  brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of Yehovah stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is Yehovah, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Psalm 33:8-12

The name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is Yehovah, the Creator, our Father. Perverted modern media still lies to us, by miss-translating the Islamic war/suicide cry as “God is Great.” The true translation is “Allah is the Greatest.” Their god is not a father and has no son, therefore, a completely different god. When Yehovah warned against “other gods,” He revealed the fact that people would come up with other gods.

“When Yehovah your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ You shall not worship Yehovah your God in that way; for every abomination to Yehovah which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. Deuteronomy 12:29-31

It matters what you believe.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain for the Land!
