Al Quds Day: Dateline London, England, UK 8-21-11
Whatever happened to merry olde England? Witness the young boy holding the sign. Thanks to the Elder of Ziyon website for the picture and links regarding the Al Quds terror rally in London on Sunday 8-21-11. “It is time, Brothers and Sisters, for Al Quds to be liberated. For Islam and people of the world who wish to pray there to the one God. And we say here today to you Israel, we see your crimes and we loathe your crimes. And to us your nation does not exist, because it is a criminal injustice against humanity. We want to see Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt go to the borders and stop this now. Liberate Al Quds! March to Al Quds!” These were the words spoken by Lauren Booth (Tony Blair’s half-sister-in-law) at the Al Quds Day terror rally organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission in London’s Trafalgar Square yesterday. She had just pledged her support for Hamas. Richard Millett
Just what exactly is Al Quds Day? Al Quds Day is an Iranian holiday created by Ayatollah Khomeini, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Zionism as well as Israel’s control of Jerusalem. In Iran, it is held on the last Friday of Ramadan, August 26 this year. The name al Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem and is their attempt to revise history and the Muslim claims that it was always Islamic.
Make no mistake, it is not about land or freedom or oppression. It is about Jerusalem! It is about Israel’s very right to exist as a Jewish state. The Bible is crystal clear that Jerusalem is the center of all prophetic scenarios of end time events. Jerusalem is the prize coveted by many groups and nations. The UN wants to turn it into an international city. The Vatican wants control. The Muslims want to seize it and eliminate the Jews and all memory of Israel’s existence “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.” Psalm 83:4 NLT
The good news is that Yehovah God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has a better plan. He intends to exalt Jerusalem. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of Yehovah, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isaiah 61:6-7
There indeed is a Jerusalem DAY coming when God will complete His purpose. The prophetic timing is quite specific as seen in this verse: For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have also divided up My land. Joel 3:1-2
The timing is after Israel has been regathered from the scattering (or Diaspora) to all nations. After Israel is back in the land, Yehovah will then gather the nations there to judge them because they divided His land! I highly recommend you read the rest of Joel 3 where God details exactly what and how He will do it. Jerusalem will be holy, Israel will be forgiven, the land will be fruitful, and Jerusalem will abide forever! Praise the name of the living God Yehovah and his resurrected Son Yeshua ben Yehovah, Jesus Son of God.

Looking back a few months we can clearly see that the Arab Spring has turned to Fall. Governments are falling like… like… dominoes! It has been getting steadily worse, but the worst is still ahead. Just today there were multiple terrorist attacks against Israel from Egypt proving that the Egyptian military has lost control of the Sinai. The gas pipeline from Egypt has been blown up five times this summer. Also today, the US called for Bashar Assad, the dictator of Syria, to step down and let the people choose their government. This too, is destined to lead to disaster. Jordan will not be far behind in an overthrow of their King.
All of this points yet again to Psalm 83 and the next Middle East war as we have repeatedly documented. Much of this drama is missed by most Americans because of our “debt ceiling crisis,” Wall Street roller coaster, unemployment, and our general economic mess. (Not to mention the start of the 2012 political season.)
Every Sunday night I lead The Issachar Forum: A Prophetic Think Tank, based on the Biblical tribe: From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take. 2 Chronicles 12:32 If we know our Bible and listen to God’s voice, we can understand the times we live in and know what God’s people should do.
Here is my list that we should know about and pray about for September.
Sept 2011 Convergence of Prophetic Mega Events
September also happens to be when the “don’t ask, don’t tell” restrictions will be officially lifted in our military and homosexuals will get the special, privileged status they have sought after for so long. How will God view that? The potential (if not inevitable) explosion of the Middle East seems imminent. I don’t have the space to expand on the ten points, but pray and listen to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him what you should do about it.
And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near. Luke 21:25-28

Topic 1: Mob Violence as a Method
This Dry Bones cartoon touches a nerve in a growing trend not only in England, but around the world. We pray it not come to America, but early signs suggest it will come here, too. There is a logical progression in my title today. Mobs without restraint become riots which can lead to full-scale revolution. 
Mob rule is nothing more than anarchy. There is vivid historic example in the bloody French Revolution characterized by mob violence and riots as the means of social change. The American revolution, on the other hand, was a unified resistance to tyranny conducted in an orderly and principled manner. The new republic which emerged set the gold standard for true freedom in its Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution.
The best treatment of this subject is in Ann Coulter’s newest book, Demonic. Whatever you may think of her, the case is made with excellence. What makes this her best book….her incisive demonstration that the revolution was the mother of the many totalitarian “revolutions” it spawned in the name of the people, her dissection of the mob mentality that drove it, and her case against today’s American liberals as exemplars of this mob mentality.
She writes that “all the bloody totalitarian dictatorships of the twentieth century have drawn inspiration from Rousseau and the French Revolution.” All the “great liberal ‘reformers’ of the twentieth century, from Lenin to Hugo Chavez,” got their “playbook from :Robespierre” — probably the worst and most radical of the French revolutionaries — “who argued, following Rousseau, that a ‘Republic of Virtue’ could only be achieved by ‘virtue combined with terror.'”
Democrats, says Coulter, “are heirs to the French Revolution, the uprising of a mob,” whereas “conservatives are heirs to the American Revolution and the harmonious order of a republic.” David Limbaugh, Newsmax
Topic 2: Fifteen Days of Doom for Syria
President Obama and the leader of Turkey have set Syrian President Bashar Assad a deadline of Aug. 27 for “extinguishing the popular uprising against his rule and starting to implement genuine democratic reforms.” Are you kidding me? Assad can continue murdering his own people for two more weeks (now over 2,000 but likely double or triple that amount). It may be the most outrageous foreign policy decision yet for the Obama Administration.
It would be like hundreds of terrorists capturing a Chicago mall with several thousand hostages. With the National Guard and SWAT teams in place surrounding the mall, the terrorists start killing one hostage every hour. Then the Guard and SWAT Commanders, along with the FBI, announce that the terrorists will have 15 days to finish their murderous reign of terror before any action taken against them. Fifteen days to “extinguish” the uprising in Syria translated means: We will do nothing to stop you for 15 days!
The very next day, Assad increased his attacks! Encouraged by the 15-day leeway granted him by the US President Barak Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, Bashar Assad Monday, Aug. 15, sent his tanks backed by mechanized infantry into Homs, a town of 1.5 million inhabitants.
“The word of Yehovah came to me a second time saying, ‘What do you see?’ and I said, ‘I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.’ Then Yehovah said to me, ‘Out of the north the evil will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.’” Jeremiah 1:13, 14
We must pray for mercy and peace in this day of anarchy and revolution. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the victory coming in the imminent Psalm 83 War. Pray in the name of Yeshua ben Yehovah, Jesus Son of God.

Thirty of our best warriors shot down in flames! How should we react? We grieved the loss, but why did it happen? Was it just a lucky shot by the Taliban? Was it God’s fault? Is it ridiculous to consider God in this tragedy? Does the Bible ever apply in real life situations today?
Much has been written about the excessive personal credit taken by President Obama reporting Osama bin Laden’s death. (Compare with President Bush on the capture of Saddam Hussein). We know it was Navy Seals Team 6 that got Osama. How quickly the same team makes headlines again, this time in the spectacular loss of 22 of their own.
There is an eerily appropriate comparison in the Bible when Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land. Jericho fell without a shot, through the fear of Yehovah, as He gave supernatural victory. However one Israelite, named Achan, kept some of the spoil that God had banned. Achan coveted the gold and silver and hid it in his tent. You discover in the reading of Joshua 7 that Israel lost 36 men in their next battle against a weaker city, Ai.
Joshua’s response was to fall on his face before God inquiring what happened and God answered: Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. Joshua 7:11
I see this parallel with our loss of 30 troops, including 22 from Seal Team 6. We should repent and ask God what happened. Setting aside the literal idea of a Seal stealing something from Osama’s compound, I see a major sin of personal pride in the way our President took too much personal credit. One could make the case that he stole the glory that should have been given in thanks to Yehovah God. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18. Let the Holy Spirit bear witness. This is more than politics. It is also not about one speech, but a pattern of arrogance laced throughout the Obama presidency. It is about our nation’s future and the nature of leadership. Jesus was clear about His attitude: The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28
If President Obama is not re-elected, he will have no one to blame but himself.
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:5-7.
Let all who follow Jesus have the same attitude Jesus had.

Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” Mark 8:15
Two types of leaven are referenced by Jesus in this verse: leaven of Pharisees and leaven of Herod. We know the implication. Leaven is a yeast that spreads throughout the dough so it will rise when baked. But of what is Jesus warning us?
For years I have made the case that Communism failed to dominate the world because of one critical strategic mistake. Based on atheistic humanism, it had no spiritual component. Yes it was demonic in its character and goals, but it was not inherently spiritual at its core.
On the other hand, Islam is spiritual at its core. But Jesus said to watch out for two kinds of leaven. The leaven of the Pharisees is a “religious spirit.” They go about trying to establish their own righteousness, according to the apostle Paul. It also infects modern Christians, who try to earn salvation rather than receiving it as a totally free gift of God. There is a seduction to the idea that you must do something to qualify for it. This is the religious spirit. (Jesus further defines it as the traditions or doctrines of men and as hypocrisy. See quotes at the end of this commentary).
The leaven of Herod speaks of the other kind of leaven. It is a “political spirit.” Herod was the archetypical political animal. He double crossed, connived and deceived. He played both side against the middle. Jesus called him “that fox”. Herod reminds us of today’s politics in Washington, DC.
The debt ceiling crisis we have all just witnessed, was pure politics (an interesting oxymoron). Yet, there is a greater threat rapidly rising in this nation and the world. It is militant Islam. One main reason Islam is so powerful is that it combines the two leavens. Islam is both a religious spirit and a political spirit. Communism had only the political, but Islam has both. The lust for world conquest is not only in the core of sinful man, it is fueled and energized by the passionate religion of death. The true believers are actually convinced that salvation comes by blowing up infidels, Christians and Jews and yourself in the process. These are Muslims who are faithful to the Koran and other writings, who follow WWMD: What would Mohammed do? 
How opposite is the motive from Jesus and Christians who follow WWJD: What would Jesus do? Jihadists die to save themselves. Jesus died so that we could live! Pray that Muslims all over the world will discover this great salvation offered through Jesus the true Messiah and Son of God, Yehovah. His Hebrew name is Yeshua ben Yehovah. He came because God loves the whole world. Yet, it is not automatic, one must receive Jesus as Who He is.
Pray for Muslims to be set free from that evil religious spirit of earning salvation. Also pray that they be released from the political spirit of pride and greed and arrogance driving them to conquer the earth in the name of their false god.
Pray for the Church to see the folly of religious hypocrisy and repent for political methods.
Beware the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod!
In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:1
Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16:12

Breaking News Today: Huge news today with the announcement of the “retirement” of General Isik Kosaner, the head of Turkey’s military. The three generals over Turkey’s ground, naval and air forces also “resigned”.
This pretty much completed the total takeover of Turkey by Islamists.
The slide towards an Islamic theocracy has accelerated sharply in recent months with this news signaling a total plunge. The seismic advance of Islam threatens the NATO alliance for all of Europe. Just a few short years ago everyone was wondering if Turkey would be admitted to the European Union. Perhaps the question is will the EU be admitted to the Islamic Caliphate?
The last Caliphate ended when Turkey turned to secularism in the 1920’s at the end of the Ottoman Empire. Yet the Koran predicts the rise of an end time Caliph to rule over a revived world-wide Islamic empire. This now appears more probable and imminent.
We have been warning for some time of a regional war based on Psalm 83. We have also reminded you of Ezekiel 38 which speaks of Gog and Magog War. It is important to notice the sequence of these two separate wars. The countries listed in Psalm 83 correspond to the modern countries with borders next to Israel. However, none of these are mentioned in the list of countries in the Ezekiel 38 War. Why not? Perhaps the answer is a decisive victory by Israel in the Psalm 83 War extending Israel’s borders to the Genesis 15 definition: On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates. Genesis 15:18.
Stay tuned and keep praying!

There is a major transition underway in the Church. For several decades the emphasis has been on the Elijah anointing of struggle against false gods, and the restoration of Fatherhood. Today, however, we have moved into an era of seeing more clearly in the Holy Spirit dimension, just as Elisha’s servant saw God’s answer in the chariots of fire surrounding the Syrian army. Generation LIGHT, Book Two in the GENERATION Series, examines the transition from Elijah to Elisha with our focus on seeing what God sees. Book Three – Generation LIFE completes the story with the power of resurrection life.
Book One was Generation LAST, on why I am convinced we are now in the last generation of history as we know it. The conclusion was a revelation of Isaiah 60 and the glory of Yehovah given to His people at one of the darkest hours of world history. Glory is expressed some 15 times in the first five verses of Isaiah 60 as arise, shine, glory seen, and even the word light.
Perhaps the most important key word is radiant, found in verse 5. We do not simply reflect God’s glory, we radiate His glory: Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart will swell with joy; (Isaiah 60:5a).
Jesus is the light of the world. Generation LIGHT reveals His glorious light expressed in supernatural power enabling us to swim against the rising tide of the enemy of our souls. The result is not only survival, but also an overcoming authority: to heal, to save, and to set captives free. This is the day of resurrection power as exemplified in Elisha, then Jesus, and finally in the last generation, through Israel and the Church.
While this book accentuates “seeing” as the prerequisite LIGHT, the GENERATION Series concludes with the third book about that resurrection power, Generation LIFE. Look for it soon.
I am praying that we see what God sees and radiate His glory and His joy! This is the only way to function effectively in today’s dysfunctional world.
This is an amazing generation to be alive. We are seeing hundreds of prophecies spoken over two thousand years ago popping up in precise fulfillment before our eyes. This is the generation of light, but this is way beyond the “age of enlightenment.” This is a time of Divine revelation which I pray you see through Elisha eyes. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is arising with a purpose. Jesus, who was the author of our faith, is also the finisher. This is a day of fullness. Much that the prophets have spoken will be completed in our day.
And that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began (Acts 3:20-21).
What a glorious fact. We are so favored to live in this day. In this book we will discover the purpose of His glorious light. My prayer for you is that you will explore this purpose and that you may see as Elisha and his servant saw.
Israel has risen out of the dust heap of history to become a vibrant nation. It is historically obvious. This is also the day of the rise of the Church, even while many who call themselves Christians fall away from the faith in the great apostasy. Yet, this day is destined to reveal the final glory of the true Church.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11).

(This excerpt from my newest book is a bit of a departure from my usual commentary. I hope you see why Doreen and I call this ministry Elisha Vision.)
Why do people move as animal herds? An idea catches on and everybody blindly jumps on the bandwagon, unthinkingly. I remember the hippie days of the sixties when it was cool to drop out and be different. But then they all looked alike. There was an unwritten dress code and hair length. You could spot a hippie in any crowd. They were different all alike.
Apartheid is like that. Coined in South Africa, it is now applied in crazy ways. Israel is the only true and free democracy in the Middle East, yet it is accused of apartheid. Free speech, freedom of assembly, voting and diversity are all present. Even the Arabs in Israel have it better than Arabs in any Arab country. The mob mentality of anti-Israel folks is ridiculous. This is clearly revealed in a series of posters from an Israeli satirical, yet factual, site called Elder of Ziyon.
Here are more sample posters. Please scroll through the entire collection here.
“For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:27-31

While you were not looking, a brand new Christian nation was born on July 9, 2011. Most of its 8 million citizen are Christians as is their first head of state, President Salva Kiir.
Sudan’s civil war left 2 million dead in the last 25 years. Now the North Sudan leader demands Sharia law for its Muslim people. While this will present a new threat for Israel, South Sudan stands to become a new partner for Israel. No doubt the establishment of another Christian country in Northeastern Africa holds important strategic significance for the State of Israel, militarily, politically, and security-wise. Israeli decision-makers will be looking southward to try to determine whether there will be a potential ally in Southern Sudan that might strengthen its regional standing. (Jerusalem Center For Public Affairs)
The war is over but the South has most of the oil that sustained Sudan, and the North has the pipeline that carries the oil to market. We must pray for God’s favor on the Republic of South Sudan.

Yesterday a pro-government mob attacked and actually broke into the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria. They also attacked the French Embassy but were repelled using live fire. So where was the security for the US? US embassy staff sheltered in a fortified wing of the mission as pro-Assad militiamen wrecked the mission’s equipment raised the Syrian flag and smeared offensive graffiti on the walls while Syrian security forces stood by and did nothing. (Debka File report). Hillary Clinton castigated the Syrians for not protecting our Embassy! We have Marines there, why did they not defend it? Any embassy is sovereign territory. The United States was invaded and we let them in? Events are unfolding at such a rapid pace that we have trouble keeping up. Our media hardly notices. Last Friday, a half million Syrians demonstrated against their dictator and it was not news here. That followed a 300,000 strong protest the Friday before. Bashir Assad will not go quietly. Unlike others, he has no real friends to take him in and will probably fight to the death. He may wrap himself in the Palestinian flag and attack Israel to save his government.
Now our embassy is attacked by his henchmen. What will happen next? I confess no knowledge of the political choices coming, but I do know exactly what the Bible says will be the final result. Damascus will be destroyed and not be inhabited anymore. It is the oldest (5,000 years) continuously inhabited capital city in the world with some two million residents. It has never been destroyed! Jerusalem has been destroyed at least eleven times. Many prophecies for today are explained away as having already been fulfilled. That device does not work here. How does Damascus fall?
Psalm 83 outlines a war that is about to take place. The invaders are specifically named. When their ancient geographic boundaries are overlaid on the modern nations it includes Gaza, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and possibly Iraq. Add to this the prophecies of Gaza’s destruction and you have the ingredients for a serious conflict. It is not a stretch to see the destruction of Damascus occurring in this scenario. Here are two of the prophecies:
The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. Isaiah 17:1
Damascus has grown feeble; she turns to flee, and fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says Yehovah of hosts. “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.” Jeremiah 49:24-27
Pray for mercy for the people of Syria, that they will turn to Yehovah God and Yeshua ben Yehovah, His Son.

In case you have not noticed, there has been continuous catastrophe crippling our nation since the tornadoes ripped Raleigh, NC on April 16. I see a direct correlation to the downward spiral of our Administration’s collapsing relationship toward Israel. Ironically, for the first time in several years, the Lord gave me a word for this year on 1-1-11. You can read the summary on the column of that date here, including a link to the full audio message that I preached on January 7.
One thing He showed me was judgement increasing on our nation. There was a strong exhortation to respect one another and the priesthood of all believers, throughout the body of Christ. He warned me so clearly that I spoke of events in America, North Carolina and even “coming to a neighborhood near you.” Little did I know how real that would manifest on April 16. A tornado went right over my daughter’s house, but spared her home and family. Just a few blocks away several children died. Others of our close friends had major property damage but no injury.
The link to Israel is obvious, but not the only cause. Over 53 MILLION babies have now been aborted in the United States since 1973. Moral decadence exploded in the same period. Many more examples abound. So, what is our hope? Can we trust government? Can we trust media? Can we trust institutional religion? No, we really cannot. We can only call on the name of the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yehovah is His name and He sent His only begotten Son, Yeshua ben Yehovah to die for us (and rise from the dead) as the full penalty for our sins and for our sin nature. Through the blood of Jesus, we are holy. We are righteous. We are clean. We are forgiven! Hallelujah!
This means we are entering the season of the greatest ingathering for salvation in history. I had hoped that it would occur in a time of prosperity. Now I see that it comes because of judgements, through which God will show His mercy, and many will turn and live.
I have heard all about you, Yehovah. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 NLT
Let us pray for mercy and the favor of the Almighty Creator God. He is our refuge and strength through His Holy Spirit and the Son of His love. We must now rise up and warn others to turn to the living God and live!

Israel E-Card Volume 5 Issue 13
U.S. Designates Israel as Country That Tends ‘To Promote, Produce, or Protect’ Terrorists; Also Calls Israel Anti-Terror Partner CNS NEWS
This headline is another move by the US Administration, specifically Homeland Security, that aligns us with the nations who are rising up to demonize Israel. Now every Israeli who visits America will be subject to the same scrutiny as an Iranian or Yemenite or Somali. Dick Morris described it this way: Israel? Yes Israel is one of the thirty-six SDCs that “promote, produce, or protect” terrorists, according to the Obama Administration. With splendid equality, they manage to list the world’s biggest victim alongside the globe’s leading perpetrators of terrorism.
The Jerusalem Post also weighs in with this comment: WASHINGTON — Israel is on a list compiled by US immigration authorities of countries that might harbor terrorists, it was reported this week.
Also this week the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, reported that the US Senate unanimously passed a resolution sponsored by 87 of the 100 Senators threatening to suspend aid to the Palestinians if they persist in their plan to unilaterally declare statehood in September.
What does all this mean? It moves us closer to God’s judgments on our nation. Genesis 12:3 is quite clear: I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Also, Joel 3:2 is quite profound: I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
Pray for mercy in Jesus’ name on our beloved United States of America this Fourth of July.

My wife and I and Andrea, our youngest daughter, lived in Jerusalem for three months in the mid-nineties. We spent a lot of time in the old city and actually made friends of one of the Arab shop keepers on David Street inside the Jaffa Gate. He dressed in worn and rather dirty robes which helped his pitch to the hapless tourists as he bargained over prices. He genuinely had fun in the process as he explained how needy his family was and could not lower the price anymore (until you walked away). We talked with him on numerous occasions. The last day we stopped to say our goodbyes when he asked where we lived. We explained that we were from Florida, to which he exclaimed: “Ah, yes, Disney World! We are going there next month!” We have enjoyed many good laughs over that story in the years since.
Disney World is a true multi-cultural experience. It is truly another world. In the real world Israelis and Arabs have many layers of historical conflict, but in the Magic Kingdom, it all goes away for a day.
Last week my family was blessed with an extraordinary vacation. The idea began when friends provided seven nights in a beautiful timeshare resort in Orlando. We enjoyed a wonderful suite on the top floor overlooking both the pool and the lake. We were all set for a relaxing week only 10 minutes from Downtown Disney at Lake Buena Vista. We had not budgeted a vacation this summer, so we intended to simply enjoy the free opportunities all around us. Then another friend started the ball rolling for two free Press tickets to Disney World on the basis of my columnist status. Well, in the end we found the favor of the Lord and the favor of Disney’s Public Relations Department, who provided five “park hopper” tickets. We made the most of it last Wednesday with 10 hours at the Magic Kingdom and 6 hours at Epcot in ONE DAY! Thank you for all who helped make it happen, especially for the children, as our 11-year-old grandson declared: “This was truly the best week of my life.” We prayed and gave thanks to God every day as a family last week for His blessings.
The real world did not change while we were in Fantasy Land, but it was a sweet gift from the Lord. I harbor no illusions about the events unfolding between Israel and her neighbors. It is a tough neighborhood. My prayer for Jews and Muslims alike is that they will find peace. Yet, I know the only “real world” peace available, starts with making peace with Yehovah God. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. True peace comes through His Son, the Messiah Yeshua. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
If you are blessed with even a small vacation this summer, I pray that you will be able to “unplug” and really rest. But as you do, remember to pray and give thanks. Disney World is great fun, but just wait until you see what our Father God has prepared for those who love Him. It will make the best humans can build, look like a cheap street carnival, compared to the glory and delight of eternity with the God of Heaven and the New Jerusalem, with those streets of real gold!
The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:21 NKJV
For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him! You welcome those who gladly do good, who follow godly ways. Isaiah 64:4-5a NLT

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. Ephesians 5:10-13 NLT
I will not comment on the sins of former Congressman Anthony Weiner. The text above is enough said. However, in our sympathy for his new bride expecting their first baby, something has come to light that is not about immorality, but ideology. Walid Shoebat, a Christian ex-Muslim, has just reported that Huma Abedin, the offended wife, is more than simply the loyal “right hand woman of Hillary Clinton”. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, she was educated in Jedda, Saudi Arabia from age two to eighteen. Her father was an Islamic scholar of Indian descent while her mother is originally from Pakistan.
The plot thickens with the revelation that her mother is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Saudi Arabia, according to Arabic news sources cited by a former Palestinian Liberation Organization operative. Walid Shoebat, an ex-Muslim Brotherhood activist in the Holy Land, translated sources that say Huma Abedin’s mother, Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, a professor of sociology in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, belongs to the Sunni movement’s women’s division known as the Muslim Sisterhood. One of the Sisterhoods aims, reportedly, is “to spread the Brotherhood’s ideology by infiltrating universities, schools and homes.”

I was reading a really horribly twisted article on the Jerusalem Post this morning which I suggest you read, to understand people who try to solve Israel’s problems without Yehovah God. It includes mockery of Glen Beck and his Jerusalem rally in August. The writer also manages to attack Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann and Mike Huckabee along with other American and Israeli conservatives. He even manages to skewer several godly pastors both living and dead.
There is a mantra of the godless left that says “right-wing” Christians and Jews hate Muslims. This is a lie. Jesus died for Muslims, and God calls them to repentance as He does for all people. God loves people and desires that they choose life in Him. Therefore, we love Muslim people as God does. However, the ideology and religious doctrine of Islam is paganism. It denies that God is a Father and that Jesus is His Son Who died on the cross to save whosoever will come to Him.
So, why do we need toucans? After reading the article, I stared at my computer background which today is the toucan. I just started worshiping the glorious beauty and diversity of our Creator. Could the world get by without that one specie of tropical bird? Probably yes. Yet, God in His infinite wisdom may have just decided one day: “Wouldn’t it be cool to have at least one of my birds with an enormous yellow and orange beak with stark black and white feathers?” Well, if that is what God was thinking, I agree. Even the flight of the toucan is cool. Because of the disproportionate weight of his prize beak, a toucan has to work hard to gain altitude and then falls as he glides, pumps up to heights again, only to fall again as he glides.
Somehow I think life is a bit like a toucan with our own ups and downs, but God is with us! We have a place in His purpose that is uniquely ours. Don’t ever tire of pumping up your altitude in the Holy Spirit, the glide is worth it.

Topic #1 US POISED TO STRIKE SYRIA
Monday, June 13, the US deployed the USS Bataan amphibian air carrier strike vessel opposite Syria’s Mediterranean coast with 2,000 marines, 6 war planes, 15 attack helicopters, including new V-22 Ospreys, and 27 choppers for landing forces aboard. (DEBKAfile at Debka.com).
The Syria front is heating up. Assad is killing his own citizens and reports of inhuman beatings and rape are emerging. He may be the next deposed dictator, but likely to be followed by Muslim fundamentalists. Iran has direct involvement and the stakes are high for them to control both Syria and Lebanon as Iran tightens the noose around Israel. In the South, Gaza is ruled by another Iranian proxy, Hamas, while Egypt is breaking toward Iran as well.
Lebanon is now under the complete control of Hezbollah with the appointment of the new cabinet which it dominates. All of this portends a very serious summer perhaps leading to the Psalm 83 War scenario. Be forewarned.
Topic #2 Swords Before Plowshares
Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears (Joel 3:9-10).
We love to quote Joel 2 about the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. That will “preach,” as they say. But not too many people want to go to church and pay their tithes and offerings to hear the hard words of what is really coming. We long for the day when the swords will be beaten into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4). However, Jesus clearly prophesied wars first. We pray for peace but prepare for war.
So we see that the sword comes first, being made from material that has a peaceful purpose. The order is set. Plows melted into swords, followed later by weapons of war melted down for plows. May that day come soon. Pray, pray, pray!
Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O Yehovah. Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow—for their wickedness is great.” Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yehovah is near in the valley of decision (Joel 3:9-14).

President Obama’s speech crossed a red line when he endorsed the Palestinian demand last month for negotiations based on the 1967 borders. However, I have decided to agree; with one slight adjustment. Let’s use the June 11, 1967 borders. Those ceasefire lines were the result of Israel winning the war started by the surrounding Arab nations. (I am partial to that date because Doreen and I were married on that very day 44 years ago).
Israel is under pressure from the entire world to give up its God-given land. The media ignore the Arabs’ intent to wipe Israel off the map and God’s miraculous victory. The lines of June 5 when the Six Day War started were actually the 1949 Armistice lines. This is where the President (and the Palestinian Authority) demand to start the talks. How ridiculous! It is like children wanting a “do over”. It doesn’t work like that in the real world.
So, I am for starting with the June 11 borders, not the June 5 borders. What a difference in that one mighty week! These adjacent maps make the case much more powerfully than words. You can see why Israel can never return to those pre-war indefensible lines. Still, the nations will rage and imagine vain things, but God’s response is wrath and the call to accept His Son, Jesus.
If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace. Proverbs 29:9
Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yehovah and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Yehovah shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:1-6

Topic #1 UN STATEHOOD FOR PA IS LIKE DECLARING THE WORLD IS FLAT
“If the UN in September declares the Palestinian Authority to be a state, it might as well decide the world is flat,” PM Binyamin Netanyahu told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Monday. He said Israel cannot stop the resolution from going forward and has few friends in the international body, but a veto from any member of the UN Security Council would block the proposal from reaching the General Assembly, whose anti-Israel majority likely would approve it. (INN)
Naksa Day, planned for June 7, to protest Israel’s Six Day War victory in 1967. Thanks to Obama putting 1967 back on the table, Palestinians now plan to rush the borders in mass numbers again as they did on May 15. With days of rage, and now regular border clashes, you wonder when they ever work. All of this is leading up to the big one in September when PA pushes for a unilateral declaration of statehood. Psalm 83 will burst into reality at some point.
Topic #2 Jerusalem Water Discovery 
“Israel’s largest underground water source discovered near Jerusalem convention center. Excavation work by Israel Railways while working on high speed Jerusalem-Tel Aviv train line reveals cave with largest underground water sources ever discovered in Israel. A small canyon at the end of the segment that has so far been checked plunges through cracks down into a series of waterfalls.” (Haaretz)
For years now I have prayed for rain according to Zechariah 10:1, Ask Yehovah for rain In the time of latter rain. Yehovah will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone. We must keep praying that He will do it with rain from above and streams from below. Thank you Jesus!
They rely on empty debates and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil. Isaiah 59:4
Ask Yehovah for rain In the time of latter rain. Yehovah will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone. For the idols speak delusion; the diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; they are in trouble because there is no shepherd. Zechariah 10:1-2

Great Guest Post – by Bill Salas
In a last ditch effort to politically broker a final Arab state called Palestine, U.S. President Barrack Obama showed his Pro-Palestinian trump card. In May, 2011, with his left hand clenched in a seeming show of American solidarity for Israel’s security, Obama snuck his right hand into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cookie jar, and was caught red-handed attempting to pick-pocket Israel’s most prized possession; their homeland.
Obama’s presidential play prompted Netanyahu to push his poker chips forward, lay all his cards on the table, and shout, “ISRAEL’S ALL IN!” Netanyahu seized the opportunity to call the U.S. President’s and Palestinians bluff. The King of Israel revealed his Royal Flush, leaving little wiggle room for future Mideast peace negotiations.
His strict laundry list of conditions hit at the heart of every Palestinian contention. To the Palestinians, this was nothing short of a declaration of war. BY BILL SALAS (Read entire article now.)
Visit Bill Salas’ Home page. Bill convinced me (along with current events) that Egypt is one of the confederates in the Psalm 83 War, coming soon! My brand new book, Generation LIGHT, reflects this correction.
Please continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, God’s prayer request in Psalm 122. Have a blessed Memorial Day as we give thanks for our brave men and women in uniform who have given their very lives for our liberty.

The Jerusalem Post released a brand new poll of Israeli Jews today showing Obama at 12%. Only 12% believe he is pro-Israel while 40% believe he is pro-Palestinian. He has yet to visit Israel as President after one visit during his campaign. Meanwhile, a new Israel National News poll reveals that two-thirds of Israel Arab citizens oppose Israel’s existence!
He exposed his bias last week when he took up the Palestinian demand of the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat about the 1967 borders. (They share another ignominious commonality in that they were both awarded the Nobel Peace prize with dubious earned accomplishments). His walk back at AIPAC was unconvincing, at least to Israeli Jews. It is clear that even some of America’s Jews are having serious “buyers remorse” about his presidency.
Contrast that with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s rock star reception before the joint session of Congress. Israel has hardly had such a commanding statesman in a generation. He made his case with moral clarity not dependent on enticing words, but with the authority of truth. He who speaks with truth in his corner can afford to be gracious; as he was with our president.
Finally, what happened to our President in the UK? His numerous embarrassing gaffes did not look good. I have not heard anyone comment on his travel days changed, due to the Iceland volcano’s ash plume. What makes it interesting, is that it his third foreign trip in a year altered by a volcano. It also happened in Poland and Indonesia. Jesus said that if His disciples stopped praising Him, even the rocks would cry out. Somehow, these volcanoes send a different message.
HERE is the basis of prayer for our leaders, from the Hebrew prophet, Daniel:
That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength. You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded.”Daniel 2:19-23.

Yes, I said 1967 lies, not 1967 lines. President Obama today totally and shamelessly moved the United States of America into direct violation of Joel 3:2, the consequences of which will bring fearful calamities on America. I am not making this up. He proclaimed this seismic shift in US policy, at a time when this nation has suffered six weeks of continuous tragedies already, including two rounds of killer tornadoes, fires in Texas and now flooding in the Mississippi River and delta. I use the word seismic with great trepidation since earthquake is the one natural disaster we have not seen. To quote Thomas Jefferson, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Let’s look deeper into Joel 3:2. I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
First, note that the historical timing of this event is clear from verse one; it is after God has regathered Israel from all the nations into their own land. The reason for the prophesied judgment of God is simple. The nations have divided His land.
Israel is now 45 miles wide; the entire country is only 45 miles wide! Reverting to the 1967 pre-war borders would make Israel 8 (EIGHT!) miles wide. What is wrong with this picture? President Obama has agreed to the Palestinian pre-condition demanded by Yassar Arafat. This division of the land would assure Israel’s destruction by the growing menace of radical Islam surrounding them. With friends like President Obama, who needs enemies?
Abbas, leader of the West Bank Palestinian Authority, wrote a New York Times Op-Ed wherein he rewrote history. He openly lied about history claiming that Israel attacked the Arabs in 1948, when the facts are utterly clear from recorded history. The UN voted Israel as a nation one day and the next day seven Arab armies invaded Israel to drive her into the sea. Three of those nations are still in a state of war with Israel since that time. Egypt and Jordan, who later made treaties, are about to break them.
The world is also rewriting the history of 1967. Again, Israel was drawn into war by invading armies. When the dust settled, Israel had a miraculous victory and control of more land (Gaza, West Bank, the Sinai and the Golan Heights). President Obama thinks it is a good idea for Israel to give it all back so they can try again. Either way, there will be war. Obama’s speech simply moves up the timing.
Helen Thomas was wrong. The Jews will not “go back where they came from.” There is no other place for them. Israel is their land and they are there to stay, not by UN permission, but by the authority of Almighty Yehovah God and His unbreakable promise.

(Dear reader, I have included the following text as evidence of God’s purpose This prophecy was spoken by God to the Land itself! This was the theme of my first book, Prophesy To The Land!)
“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Yehovah! Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’ therefore prophesy, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up by the lips of talkers and slandered by the people”— therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yehovah! Thus says the Lord Yehovah to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which became plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around— therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.’
“Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.” Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: “I have raised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame. But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come. For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings.Then you shall know that I am Yehovah.Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them of children.”
‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because they say to you, ‘You devour men and bereave your nation of children,’ therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore,” says the Lord Yehovah. “Nor will I let you hear the taunts of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore,” says the Lord Yehovah.’ ” Ezekiel 36:1-15.

Topic #1 Don’t Stop Praying Just Yet
The much ballyhooed march on Israel today pretty much fizzled relative to their call for two million to march. That is certainly an answer to prayer. Yet several thousand Muslims did attempt to violate Israel’s territorial sovereignty from Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. Also, there were Nakba demonstrations in Jordan, Egypt and even within Israel.
Muslims commemorate what they call Nakba, their “catastrophe or disaster” when Israel became a nation on May 15, 1948. Someone has observed, however, that the real catastrophe was the systematic genocide of six million Jews in Hitler’s War.
Yet, it is certainly not over, The protest’s success, however limited will only serve to make them more demanding. We are in perilous times. There will be more tragedies to come. Pray for Jerusalem’s peace.
Topic #2 At the End of the Day—or Night?
At the end of the day….is an overused cliché. I am tired of hearing it from pundits every day on cable news. But, I was thinking about it this week and realized a small word from the Lord. We are not near the end of the day, we are at the end of the night! There are lots of great scripture references to support my point. One of my favorites is: For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
We are at the darkest part of the night before the dawn. Rather than fearing the darkness, I listen for the life sounds in the night. Tree frogs, crickets, locusts, owls and other night life fill the forest. Last night, Doreen and I had a dinner date and sat in our car for 15 minutes listening to a mocking-bird sing at least a dozen different beautiful songs. Then, when we went to check our mail, we were treated to a family of seven deer out for a walk. They startled a bunny, right in the middle of town. This is our Father’s world, Jesus is coming soon!
The violence of the wicked will destroy them. Proverbs 21:7
I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and batter the brow of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. and Edom shall be a possession; Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. Numbers 23:17-18

We continue to pray that the Nakba Day riots will fizzle. However it has already begun. Even the Western media is beginning to report it. Thousands of Egyptians storm the Israeli Consulate in Alexandria, while more pictures are now coming through of Egyptians coming to the Gaza/Israel border. Some of these are women and children in horse carts for effect. People are also massing in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. One Fox News TV reporter, conveniently embedded with Palestinian rock throwers, gets a whiff of tear gas and coughs convincingly (good live TV).
The story, once buried, is now catching fire as linked to the demonstration/riots all over the Arab world. This is a cunning and evil plot. While Abbas claims he opposes a third intifada, a top official of the Palestinian Authority says the PA can’t stop an intifada if the people start one on Sunday. (Hint-Hint). This is tacit approval if not full endorsement of new violence.
The biased microscope of world media will scrutinize and magnify any Israeli mistakes. Believers are fasting and praying for wisdom in the Israeli responses. What would the US do if thousands just walked across the border at several places at the same time? This is the dilemma facing Israel this weekend.
Top Fatah official: ‘PA won’t be able to stop 3rd intifada’
’17-year-old serious wounded’; 3 cops injured in e. J’lem
Thousands march on Israeli consulate in Alexandria
Palestinians: Prepare for 3rd intifada
Remember me, Yehovah, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise. Ps 106: 4-5

One week from now Israel faces a potential calamity. Arabic and English internet sites are buzzing with threats and chatter calling for millions of Muslims to march into Israel in a human wave. Western media have not given much mention, but this march could explode into a full-scale war.
Psalm 83 has been well documented here, and this event could be the trigger. Given the so-called “Arab Spring” demonstrations in multiple countries, Palestinians prepare to seize the moment for their own uprising. The Arabic term for uprising is “intifada”. These internet sites are calling for a third intifada. However, Israel, under Netanyahu, will not be passive this time. Pray wisdom for Israel’s leaders to seek Divine guidance for the crisis. The Psalm 83 War will be won by Israel, but not without Yehovah’s supernatural help.
A catalyst for Palestinians, the recent agreement between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority,violates the PA’s previous agreements with Israel. Israel responded by holding back tax funds from the PA. However, in a blatantly counterproductive move, the EU is sending 85 million Euros to the rescue of the Palestinians. The contradiction here is vivid to close observers. The EU is part of the Quartet, which is four entities working to impose a “peace treaty” on Israel. They are the United States, the United Nations, Russia and the European Union.
The Quartet has declared numerous times that Hamas is a terrorist group that must do three things for acceptance as a peace partner with the PA. 1. Accept Israel’s right to exist. 2. Renounce violence (which is impossible since their name is an acronym which means “violence” in Hebrew). 3. Agree to the previous agreements between the Palestinian Authority and Israel. Hamas flatly rejects all three stipulations. The opposite is the case; the PA has joined with Hamas via their “Unity” pact.
Israel can in no way make peace with those whose charter demands Israel’s annihilation. Therefore, this rising “Arab Spring” movement will detonate the worst impulses in Israel’s enemies. We have seen this coming for several years. What will be the event that lights the fuse? Another flash point is the PA’s announced intent to unilaterally declare statehood in September. It may not happen next week, but the fuse is ready to burn.
Finally, it is in this context that Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Obama in DC on May 20. He will also speak to a joint session of the US Congress on May 23 or 24. Prophetic events are piling on top of one another at a dizzying pace. Fasten your seat belt for a wild ride this month. Or better yet, spend some serious time in your prayer closet.

O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God. Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up? They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones. “Come,”they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.” Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you. Psalm 83:1-5 NLT.

Topic #1 Egyptians Oppose Israel Peace
The Pew Poll of Egyptians released last week revealed some hard facts for the naïve Western leftist media. Most were rejoicing for the “Arab Spring” destined to bring freedom and democracy to the Middle East. They were dead wrong. 54% of Egyptians from all levels of society and whether secular or religious, desire to annul the treaty with Israel. Only 36% choose to maintain it. The poll deserves a deeper look than can fit in this space, but a few highlights jump out.
Another result has 75% favorable toward the Muslim Brotherhood. 
September’s election will bring their ideology into the core of Egyptian policy. They don’t have to win, they have already won. Any candidate from any party will have to appeal to that overwhelming sentiment of the voters. President Bush forced an election in Gaza, convinced that the people would vote for moderates. Hamas was elected by 70% of the vote.
A third question asked how strictly Egypt’s laws should follow the Koran. 27% were for the principles of Islam, 62% were for strict adherence to Sharia Law. That is 89% lining up for a theocracy! Wake up and smell the Turkish coffee.
Topic #2 Obama in Middle East Polls?
Israeli polls the last two years show President Obama in single digits of 6 in 2009 and 9 in 2010. Most Israeli’s consider him pro-Palestinian. George W. Bush had 88% favorable! Just as surprising are Obama’s numbers in the Egypt Pew poll. 52% disagree with his handling of the recent protests. What does this mean? Cairo, Egypt was the setting for one of his milestone speeches trying to woo the Muslim world. This may have had the effect of encouraging calls for an open democracy, but the result is anything but. President Obama repeated his mantra that we are not at war with Islam and never will be. Yet, we are in three shooting wars, and the ones we are shooting at, are Muslims. 99% of all the terrorists and pirates are Muslims. If this isn’t war, what does war look like?
This will happen because these evil prophets deceive my people by saying, ‘All is peaceful’ when there is no peace at all! It’s as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to reinforce it by covering it with whitewash! Ezekiel 13:10

Killed last night in a car crash, David Wilkerson was a prophet like Jeremiah to a generation … and to me. I offer you his last words in his last blog of April 27, 2011 just hours before he died. I have also included the link to a seven minute video that sums up the message of his life. He once said he believed in the “you can’t lose trib…if you love Jesus, you can’t lose.” David Wilkerson won!

WHEN ALL MEANS FAILby David Wilkerson | April 27, 2011 |
To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).
Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.
Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.
That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”
Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”
Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.
To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights—and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”
Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.

The Associated Press reported a conversation with a Syrian demonstrator declaring the Middle East’s dirty little secret. Arabs living in Israel proper are better off than Arabs living in any Arab country.
For the past half century, Syrians have despised Israel, and, by extension, the Jews in general. But right now, they wish more than anything that they could have it as good as the Palestinians and live under “Israeli occupation.”
“Let Israel come and take Syria. Let the Jews come – anything is better than [Syrian dictator] Bashar Assad,” a frightened pro-democracy protester told the Associated Press by telephone during a government crackdown on Monday. (Israel Today)
Today’s headlines
Death toll has now passed 450 in Syria’s crackdown on demonstrations.
Terrorists blow up an Egyptian gas pipeline for the third time.
“Stars” virus follows Stuxnet to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
54 per cent of Egyptians polled want to break peace treaty with Israel.
What does all of this mean in Bible prophecy? It brings us back to the unfolding fulfillment of Psalm 83. Everything is falling into place. Add in the chaos in Gaza, the unrest in Jordan and Hezbollah’s takeover of Lebanon. You have all the necessary developments for the imminent war. The last four verses of the Psalm reveal the prayer of the Psalmist for the salvation of the enemy. He desires that they seek God’s name. Either they turn to Yehovah or perish. Either way, they will know that Yehovah is is the only true God.
So pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with Your storm. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O Yehovah. Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that You, whose name alone is Yehovah, are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83:15-18)
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of her enemies.
Okay, so it hasn’t happened yet, but it will. The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap”. Isaiah 17:1.

Damascus will be destroyed. You can take that to the bank. The capital of Syria is the oldest continuously inhabited capital in the world. God says it will become a heap of ruins. It has never been destroyed in all the wars of history. Jerusalem has been destroyed at least eleven times.
We have seen the Psalm 83 prophecy building for several years now. It makes sense that the Isaiah 17 prophecy would be part of that war. Just today, the Jerusalem Post reported that 49 died in protests in Syria. YNet News later reported those killed today by the government passed 70. Fox News is also reporting the violence.
This may be the most important news story of the month. While most eyes are on Libya, the growing crisis in Syria has more direct significance to prophecy. CNN reported that Jordan also continues to experience growing anti-government demonstrations spurred on by the Muslim Brotherhood in the name of Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak to a joint session of Congress next month. His pivotal speech will set the tone for Israel’s response to world pressure (Los Angeles Times) for the UN to unilaterally declare an independent state of Palestine.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Jesus is alive, the grave is empty. Death has lost its sting. Hallelujah!

Topic #1 Hijab: The Gitmo of Muslim Women
There is something very hidden by the Islamic hijab covering of Muslim women. It is only hypocrisy to claim it is a pious modesty chosen by the free will of the woman. While there certainly are outspoken naïve Western converts who do indeed appreciate the modesty aspect, they are only useful idiots. The real sinister meaning is hidden behind the veil.
The radical Islamic culture dominated by men keeps half of their societies in virtual slavery. Their women are more imprisoned than the handful of terrorists housed at Guantanamo Bay. The dirty secret seems to be ignored by the West. Ataturk of Turkey banned the veil in 1924 at the fall of the last Caliph. He understood the danger. The legalization again in Turkey opens the door for complete domination of the radicals. How is this connected? The radicals simply require their own women to wear it, then single out friends who refuse, for persecution. They threaten and intimidate with beatings and even murder until more and more women wear it. Finally, they make it law that all women must be covered. It is a first step in establishing Sharia Law.
This has been a hot topic in Canada for years and was defeated by Muslim women appealing to Canadian Parliament. France is now facing the same issue. Inform yourself. Praise God for the Judeo/Christian foundation of equal liberty for women. Pray for eyes to see and ears to hear.
Topic #2 Meanwhile at the Center of the Planet
All told, since January 1, terrorists in Gaza have fired 269 rockets, mortars and shells at Jewish towns and villages in the South. That comes out to nearly three projectiles per day, every day, since the start of 2011. This week Gaza al-Qaida kidnapped an Italian journalist, then tortured and killed him while demanding that Hamas release an al-Qaida leader. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum: “goal of this depraved band of outlaws was to spread chaos and anarchy in the Gaza Strip.” They then all blamed Israel. You can’t make this stuff up.

Yehovah is in His holy temple, Yehovah’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. Yehovah tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup. For Yehovah is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright. Psalm 11:4-7
When you were a little kid, you punched your friend and then said: “Truce, no hitting back.” I remember that anyway. We call that juvenile or childish humor. But what is happening in Israel today is no joke. Hamas has a terror cell planning to kidnap Israelis during Passover (which starts Monday night). Israel attacked the cell a couple days ago killing three. Hamas called it “a crime” and called for the world to condemn Israel.
Today, Hamas shoots an advanced, Russian-made Kornet-type anti-tank missile at a school bus which is the exact target and within eyesight of the terrorists. A sixteen year old student is critically injured and the driver is also injured. Within hours Hamas claims responsibility for the attack and also declares a ceasefire for all parties to commence at 11pm. Are you kidding me? You can’t make this stuff up. Can they be so perverse as to think they can fire missiles at children and then just stop and insist that Israel not hit back? They intentionally target civilians and believe it is their religious duty to kill every Jew eventually. It is stated clearly in their Charter.(What part of obliterate don’t we understand?) Yet, they continue to demand that the world punish Israel. If you wrote a novel with such a storyline no one would find it credible.
Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? Psalm 2:1
You may have heard about some Muslim group or other calling for a “day of rage”. It happens a lot in Israel. Lately it has been all the rage, if you will excuse my pun, in places like Egypt, Jordan, Syrian, Libya and half a dozen more countries. (Try Googling day of rage and count the countries.) It is an expanding phenomena that is spinning out of control. So, Psalm 2 clearly sees our day. The nations rage because they hate Israel.
It is a vain thing on two levels. One, it is in vain, because the plot will fail. Second, it is vain in the sense of vanity. The arrogance and self importance of the enemies of Israel is breathtaking in its scope. As we have pointed out many times from Psalm 83, the plotters’ real enemy is God Himself. They can’t get to Him, so they try to kill His people. Remember that this will include Christians just as much as Jews. Israel is the little satan and America is the big one. There is a common saying among the terrorist Muslims: “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”
Open your eyes America; wake up and stand up and speak up!
Oh, and you might want to read the rest of Psalm 2….
The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom
Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yehovah and against His Anointed, saying, ”Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Yehovah shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: ”Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: Yehovah has said to Me, ’You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve Yehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

We had a wonderful two month ministry trip preaching, teaching and writing. Yes, I did finish my latest book: Generation LIGHT. It is now with editors and should be published by April 30. Thank you Jesus!
We made many new friends, renewed fellowship with old friends and had multiple Divine appointments. Our last meeting was last night with Robbie and Martha Trice. It was an anointed evening. We were also hosted while in Jacksonville with our dear friends Allan & Monica Meuter. Thank yous go out to them and to everyone along the way.
Gracie, our motor home, was a faithful delight. We bought two new batteries and did a refrigerator repair, both of which knew were needed when we bought it.
We look forward to sharing more Friday night at Shalom Peniel at the Fisk’s at 6pm. We can’t wait to see the home folks again. Thank you for your prayers.

Topic #1 Facebook Used for Palestinian Intifada
Many Christians are aware of the Facebook page that was taken down after 350,000 users “liked” it. It was calling for violent resistance in Israel. Immediately the terrorist sympathizers put up several new pages. What most in the West don’t know, however, is the real purpose behind these pages.
There is a blanket call for millions of Muslims to converge on Israel on May 15, Nakba Day (in the Arab sphere). It is observed each year on the anniversary of the day Israel became a nation in 1948. To us Zionists, it the day God restored Israel in fulfillment of His covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But to the Muslims, it is Catastrophe Day.
This is no light matter. It could be the start of the next war. Millions are called to martyrdom to reclaim “their” land.
The propaganda is overwhelming as they completely rewrite history to claim that Israel forced them out of their homes and lands. History is clear that the leaders of the Arab nations who invaded Israel at that time called for the people to leave temporarily while the armies destroyed the Jews and drove Israel into the Sea. Israel received legal title to the land by the UN vote: Resolution 181 Approves the Creation of Israel, the Jewish State 11-29-47 . Israel accepted the plan but the Arabs did not. When the British left, Israel declared her independence on May 14, 1948. The next day five Arab armies invaded. PRAY FOR ISRAEL MAY 15, 2011.
Topic #2 Palestinian Authority Incitement Exposed
Palestinian Media Watch has release a report of the incitement on PA TV three weeks before the murder of the Fogel family in Itamar, Israel recently (featured on my blog on 3-15-11). Palestinian government run TV ran a program “Martyrs” which was a tribute to terrorists who had killed Israelis down through the years. One such had murdered three teens in Itamar in May 2002. The video was broadcast several times a day for four days. In America, we call that copycat killing.
Does This Apply Today? Not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times– not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. Numbers 14:22-23

Then a new king came to the throne of Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done. (Exodus 1:8 NLT). (More photos)
The problem of short memory affects geo-politics. Joseph had risen to number two in Egypt because of the favor and promotion of God. Not only was provision made for his Hebrew family, but all of Egypt prospered under his God-given wisdom and revelation. But a new king came to power who did not know Joseph or what he had done for the country. How could he not know? …short memory!
A few weeks ago an Israeli family in the town of Itamar was brutally murdered in their beds. The news covered it briefly and then went on to other news. Even though their were tens of thousands of people at the funeral, the liberal Israeli paper Haaretz, did not even mention the funeral on the front page. How many reports anywhere mentioned that less than a decade before another mother and three children were also murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Itamar? …short memory.
Here is another example: How many intifada’s have occurred? The Palestinians are now threatening a “third intifada”. Yet, the collective memory of the world is so short. After the Balfour Declaration of 1917 provided a homeland for the Jews, there were two intifadas. One was in the 20’s and another in the 30’s. That means we are now up to number five if there is a new one. …short memory.
Did President Obama Know Joseph?
It is likely if not certain that the new leadership in Egypt will be worse than Murbarak. Dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, the new leaders in Egypt are destined to break the treaty with Israel and forget all the benefits of that peace. That is one issue. However, there is another application closer to home.
President Obama may fit the definition of “a king who knew not Joseph” as the leader of America. His background is far more Muslim than anyone admits. Both his father and step father were Muslims and he was taught in a Muslim school in his most formative years in Indonesia. His youth in Hawaii was a much more “multi-cultural” experience (see note below) than most Americans. Add to that his early and later associations with Marxists and Black Liberation Theology. So what is my point? How can we expect President Obama to carry the treasured heritage in his memory that most Americans carry? He does not know it for himself. Then, throw in the questions about his birth certificate and his locked up college records. What President have we ever had with such secrecy? …short memory.
Note on multiculturalism: I am using this term not in the sense of peaceful race relations, but as a seductive way for pagan gods to gain entrance to God’s people. Heaven is not multicultural, it is a Kingdom undivided totally loving and worshiping the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through His only begotten Son, Jesus: Yeshua ben Yehovah.
God’s Viewpoint on Multiculturalism
The idols of Babylon, Bel and Nebo, are being hauled away on ox carts. But look! The beasts are staggering under the weight! Both the idols and the ones carrying them are bowed down. The gods cannot protect the people, and the people cannot protect the gods. They go off into captivity together. “Listen to me, all you who are left in Israel. I created you and have cared for you since before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? Some people pour out their silver and gold and hire a craftsman to make a god from it. Then they bow down and worship it! They carry it around on their shoulders, and when they set it down, it stays there. It cannot even move! And when someone prays to it, there is no answer. It has no power to get anyone out of trouble. “Do not forget this, you guilty ones. And do not forget the things I have done throughout history. For I am God I alone! I am God, and there is no one else like me. Only I can tell you what is going to happen even before it happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. I will call a swift bird of prey from the east a leader from a distant land who will come and do my bidding. I have said I would do it, and I will. Listen to me, you stubborn, evil people! For I am ready to set things right, not in the distant future, but right now! I am ready to save Jerusalem and give my glory to Israel. (Isaiah 46 NLT).
(My thoughts were triggered when a good friend shared the Exodus verse with me over the weekend in Clearwater.)

Earthquakes, nuclear threats, global economic meltdown and the crisis in Libya certainly have the world’s attention. However, don’t lose sight of what is emerging in your peripheral vision. Remember Egypt? The referendum there last week produced profound implications for the future demise of Egypt.
For several years we have warned of a local war against Israel (soon to come) primarily by the inner circle of nations with borders near or touching Israel. Egypt and Jordan’s peace agreements with Israel effectively blocked the prophecy of Psalm 83. Now, however, Egypt is sliding into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. Jordan is also in crisis. Therefore, we see this war is not far off.
Recently we have discovered an amazing comparison between Psalm 83 and the Gog/Magog War of Ezekiel 38 and 39. None of the countries listed in Psalm 83 are listed with Gog. Also, the first are mainly Arab Muslims and the second outer circle of nations are mainly non-Arab Muslims. They will be led by Turkey, Iran, Libya and Sudan. We conclude that Israel must be the victor of the first war leaving the immediately surrounding nations effectively stripped of power.
Israel may even expand its territory at that time to include the original land promised by God in Genesis 15:18 On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.
Stay tuned, it is starting to get interesting. Watch Jordan and Syria.

Topic #1 Five In Israeli Family Murdered In Their Beds
Within 24 hours of the atrocity Israel announced it would build 500 new homes in Judea and Samaria, 100 homes for each of the 5 victims. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu soberly declared: “They murder, we build.”
Lost in the understandable worldwide coverage of the unfolding tragedy in Japan was the terrorist massacre in Israel of five family members. The most barbaric of attacks left a 3 month old infant with her throat slashed, her 5 year old brother stabbed through the heart. Her 11 year old brother and her mother and father also lay brutally butchered in their sleep in their own home, all with their throats slashed. Insane love of violence is erupting from the hearts of wicked men.
Arab residents of Hamas ruled Gaza celebrated with joy by handing out candies in the streets. The Palestinian Authority and world media referred to them not as Israeli’s but as “settlers” the murderers were only “alleged” terrorists
I ask you, what decision was made by an infant to “settle” anywhere? Israel for the first time released pictures of a terrorist attack with the slim hope that the world would wake up to the nature of those who would wipe Israel off the map. Remember that the Hebrew meaning of “hamas” is “violence”. (Read my earlier blog on the same theme.)
Topic #2 Uncanny Timing of Japan Tragedy
One year earlier to the very day, of the 9.1 earthquake and tsunami, Japan made this declaration: “The Government of Japan deplores the decisions of the Government of Israel to give permission for the construction of 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem in addition to 112 units in West Bank,” (Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs March 11, 2010).
God says those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. After Japan “deplores” Israel building houses, many thousands of homes are destroyed in Japan. For the past year, Japan had increased its anti-Israel rhetoric. We should soberly consider the connection..
The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do? But Yehovah is in his holy Temple; Yehovah still rules from heaven. He watches everything closely, examining everyone on earth. Yehovah examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates everyone who loves violence. He rains down blazing coals on the wicked, punishing them with burning sulfur and scorching winds. For Yehovah is righteous, and he loves justice. Those who do what is right will see his face. Psalm 11:3-5 NLT

Japan Earthquake Disaster - click to enlarge
And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:25
Killer earthquakes in Japan (over 1,000 dead at this early point) and a month ago in New Zealand (over 200 dead) . The earth is reeling, geologically and politically. Everything is shaking. The confidence of the world is teetering near collapse. Some governments are scrambling to save their economies while others are in full revolution mode. At least ten Muslim nations are in or near complete overthrow.
Libya is facing genocide or civil war or both. The nations are perplexed to know what to do next. Free nations are running out of options as they run out of money. The world’s longest serving dictator has sworn he will go down fighting. Two per cent of the world’s oil is the prize for the winners.
Egypt’s “democratic” protests have now opened the way for much more sinister machinations. The Muslim brotherhood is poised to achieve their 90 year goal of a theocratic state with the help of internal mutiny in the ranks of the army. Christians are being martyred in Egypt in unprecedented numbers. It is as if hell has opened up in a spiritual earthquake. The only Christian in Pakistan’s cabinet was assassinated a couple weeks ago.
No union workers lost their jobs in Wisconsin this week, just the ability to demand and enforce higher pensions and perks. Oh, and did I mention Charlie Sheen, the profane sitcom actor, is suing his employers for $100 Million.
Has the world gone mad? They say there are no atheists in foxholes. The planet is one giant foxhole, there can’t possibly be any atheists left.
Darkness seems to be spreading over the earth like a poisonous cloud. Are you depressed yet? How do people cope who have not read the Book? The only true hope is found in the ageless words of comfort and answers one finds in the Bible.
Here are just a few pertinent and very timely observations from God’s love letter.
Les Lawrence, Voice of Christian Zionists (READ MORE)
Radicals Rising Leads to Sunset Over Cairo
A serious media mistake is routinely using the term “radicalizing” to explain jihad. “Radicals rising” is a more accurate term. DEBKAfile’s sources report that large sums of Iranian petrodollars have reached the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and radicalized its message to the Egyptian people. It is true that Iran’s propaganda is a radicalized message, but it finds ready acceptance in young Muslim minds because of generations of indoctrination.
It is beyond the Western mind’s frame of reference to accept that Islamists hold their position logically from the beginning. Since we are the product of a Judeo/Christian heritage, Islamic jihad doesn’t make sense. We are taught to love our enemies, they are taught to kill their enemies (which by the way is defined as all non-Muslims and apostate Muslims). Psalm 83 (below) clearly declares their opposition to the God of Israel.
Entire generations of young Muslims have been taught from pre-school to hate and kill Jews and Christians. That is when they were radicalized, not between weeks four and five of the Egyptian revolution (or fill in any other Muslim revolt). Koranic basic doctrine teaches that chaos and destruction are the means of overthrowing the infidels or as in Egypt’s case, the apostate Westernized Muslim states. The fundamental Islamic prophecy of the last days requires chaos and destruction to usher in the final Caliph and conquest of the whole world.
Therefore, what we have is radicals rising up to fulfill the apocalyptic vision. It is logically within the literal reading of their holy texts. Yet, the media persists in feigning shock when what they insisted was a democracy movement suddenly “became radicalized”. It is the only conclusion that makes sense to the naive Western humanist. Everything the media believes rejects the idea of anyone actually choosing to die for their god. It does not compute, therefore they were “radicalized” somehow. Even the Ft. Hood shooter must have been “radicalized” because he could not possibly believe in such radical jihad all by himself.
The 9-11 suicide jihadists were not mysteriously radicalized while standing in line at the airport. They worked hard and prepared for a long time on an unthinkable plot to hijack airplanes and fly them into skyscrapers. To us it was unthinkable; to them it was brilliant and perfectly logical.
The truth is this. It is not the “bad” Muslims rising up, but faithful literalist Muslims doing what their imams are preaching every Friday at the mosques. Good Muslims are faithful, bad Muslims (from their viewpoint) are Westernized or modernized and are therefore unfaithful and even apostate.
Pray for the Muslim hordes to turn from the god of Islam to find Yehovah, God of Israel and Yeshua haMeshiach (Jesus the Messiah), the Son of God.
Consider the contrast between the nature of Islam and the nature of our Judeo/Christian heritage.
Nature of Islamic Heritage:
Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You (Psalm 83:1-5 NKJV).
Nature of Judeo/Christian Heritage:
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever (1 Corinthians 13:3-8 NLT).

Les video teaching on Isaiah 19 Egyptians Against Egyptians
Elisha Vision - Commentary 
Sinai Game Changer
27 08 2011The Egyptian revolution was devastating for their economy, killing tourism, and thrusting the nation into chaos and potential famine. Add to that the rise and expected victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in the September elections, and you have more than the provisional military government can handle. Egypt is also very concerned about an Al-Qaeda sabotage of the Suez Canal. Policing the Sinai is a pretty low priority for the military government. Therefore, the Sinai is turning into no man’s land, a bit like our own wild west on steroids, only with a demonic agenda to destroy Israel.
Great irony followed the terrorist attack on Eilat. Israel was the victim of an unprovoked terror assult resulting in a major forced concession that now allows Egypt to station troops in the eastern border. In the fog of the attack several Egyptian security personnel were killed, leading to a demand from Egypt for more troops on their side of the border. This is a clear violation of the peace treaty, but Israel has already conceded under pressure from the US Administration because of Egypt’s threat to break it.
This means that Gaza terror groups will now have free rein in the Sinai along with Al-Qaeda. It is another step closer to the next war with Israel. Syria is on the brink, and even Jordan continues to slide into position for the inevitable Psalm 83 confederacy. Stay tuned. It is happening so fast. This week Israel narrowly avoided a war in Gaza when Hamas backed down.
Beyond politics, what does the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have planned for the great desert wasteland of the Sinai? Consider what the Bible says about the final conditions when Israel returns in the favor of Yehovah:
The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the wasteland. The parched ground will become a pool, and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land. Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish where desert jackals once lived. Isaiah 35: 1, 6-7 NLT.
Ask Yehovah for rain In the time of the latter rain. Yehovah will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. Zechariah 10:1
