Humanity’ s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #4 – anti-Semitism puts millions in spiritual danger!!

DEMONIACAL HOSTS HAVE TAKEN CIVILISATION BACK 1,400 YEARS TO THE DARK AGES! CITIZENS & LEADERS MUST NOW TAKE A STAND AGAINST EVIL.

I pray the Peace of Jesus that passes all understanding may cleanse and guard our hearts, minds and spirits after exposure to sub-human barbarity in screenshots supportive of Neil Mackereth’s post on the existential threat against Israel, and mine on our choice to follow the Living Lord, or submit to satan and end up in the lake of fire.:

This post was prepped for publication five weeks ago but got waylaid by many events, so kindly accept my apologies for the delay but I’m taking the opportunity to change the lead-in with this reminder of the mini-holocaust – lest we forget!.

Thus, every individual participating in marches and social activities with anti-Israel motivation thereby condones and endorses sub-human barbarity committed in the October Massacre, some of which is reported below, but details of hamas’ war crimes are now logged as above.

SITUATION LATE OCTOBER

Please be warned, this is very disturbing: Continue reading →

Rather than consider my Invisible Jigsaw’s three corner-pieces in chronological order I’m leaving the second piece until last as we look now at the third from 2009. It just so turns out that relevant material that emerged this week plugs into that year as well as 2016-7 (Two Significant 7-year Cycles.. refers).

LOTS more on-the-ground coverage on Amir’s Behold Israel Telegram

Now back to 2008-9:

‘Exhibit A: his decades-long relationship with a Hamas-supporting pastor named Jeremiah Wright. Wright amplified the mission of Hamas: to eradicate the Jews. He gave such a prominent terrorist figure publicity in his popular church newsletter. Wright also befriended the likes of Louis Farrakhan and Muammar Gaddafi. As one pundit summarized it, “Obama marinated in two decades of Jew hatred” at Wright’s church. Maybe someday we’ll get to the bottom of Obama’s zeal for funding the extermination of Jews.’

Psalm 83 & ‘Gog-Magog’ Update: Iran warns Israel, Imam threatens whole world with war!

Posted on by
2

It was our usual long weekend with just a few intervals for being online and thus posting only quick news updates on Richard’s Watch Telegram, but I jotted above title for next post. First. however a…

CLARIFICATION:

Neil Mackereth’s The Existential Threat to Israel is a tripartite briefing and each part is not to be taken in isolation and thus taken out of context and get misconstrued, even in considering scripture, for which Chris Moyler provided extensive citations:
  1. (Return of The Mahdi) Islam’s Counterfeit Christ
  2. Gaza in Bible History and Prophecy
  3. A War for Survival

It is vital to be aware of how this situation relates to Islamic end-times doctrine. Neil subsequently writes me, “I am certain that Israel faces an enemy that is intent on its annihilation; ie. an existential threat. I know Israel will survive – the Bible tells me so.”

Further to Ezekiel’s Gog-Magog Prophecy Revisited – ‘Stop-Press’ on Part 3:

GOG-MAGOG ALLIANCE-RELATED NEWS:

A few for a quick scan through. First in case you thought Neil and I are making it up + confirmation of my ‘two jigsaw-pieces’ through a word brought by prophet Julie Green:

(Russia attacked Odessa)

A PROPHET’S CONFIRMATION:

SOME REFERENCE SOURCES:

PSALM 83 (BibleGateway link)

“Dear Friends (writes Chris Moyler),
James Goll is a seasoned and trustworthy leader in God’s House. In this video [RB: not attached] he speaks prophetically about this present Gaza War. He believes that it will expand and draw in all the nations that immediately surround Israel.

He says clearly that he believes this to be the fulfillment of Ps 83. Verse 4 is an almost word for word statement of the Hamas Covenant, which specifically states that Israel will be wiped from the map.

The Psalm concludes with a prayer for the destruction of Israel’s enemies, specifically in order that the SOVEREIGNTY OF ALMIGHTY GOD might be displayed through Israel’s victory, and that HIS NAME might be hallowed in all of the earth:

17,18 “Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.”

And yet there is also a prayer for God’s grace to extend to those will will lose in this war:

Psalm 83:16 “Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O LORD.”

We want to see Hamas utterly destroyed, ditto Hezbollah, because these movements lead the peoples away from the only One who is able to give life to all mankind, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel.

Amen

Finally, I continue to believe that this is NOT the final Gog-Magog war. Satan would like it to be so, because what he most fears is the emergence of the sons of God in the earth, Christ’s pure and spotless Bride.

Ezekiel 38:8 ‘After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them.’

please note:
-“restored from war,”
-“its people were brought out from the peoples”
-“now dwell securely.”
-“ALL OF THEM.”

Since King David and King Solomon, there has never been a time when ALL of the people of Israel have dwelt there securely, in THEIR OWN land. Therefore, I continue to contend that this must be the condition of the Land and the Jewish people in it, prior to the final Gog-Magog war. That war is exclusively in the FATHER’s timing, and NO-ONE ELSE’S.

HE ALONE sets the calendar of the Earth!

And, of course, Satan wants to prevent the VAST end time harvest of souls for the Kingdom.

But judgement has already been given to the saints, and he will NOT be allowed to “change the times.”

Dan 7:21,22
‘As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them, until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.’

So let us banish all fear from our hearts, and let us boldly proclaim God’s goodness over and above these troubled days.

Amen, Chris x

Psalms 83:16 Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O LORD.”

Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

83 Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, Your enemies make a [a]tumult;
And those who hate You have [b]lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have consulted together with one [c]consent;
They [d]form a confederacy against You:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9 Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor,
Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”

13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be [e]confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

Ezekiel’s ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy revisited – ‘Stop Press!’ on Part 3!

Posted on by
Reply

Neil Mackereth’s Part 3 of The Existential Threat to Israel must be so powerful it caused my printer to jam and stop working… a real STOP PRESS!!  After working at a desktop screen it’s always easier to read hard-copies of long articles, and so upon its receipt I wanted to peruse Neil’s latest at leisure over an afternoon ‘cuppa’ – BUT LOOK, it’s too powerful to print!

My printer seized up! The previous sheet had emerged with bent corner, but Neil’s item got solidly jammed – and ripped on both sides. Once cleared, it works normally!!!

In the mid-1980s I knew hardly anything about Bible prophecy when presented with two  jigsaw-pieces, a book and TV documentary. What I saw directly related to what Ezekiel heard from the Lord prophesying an attack upon Israel led by ‘Gog’ and ‘Magog’.  Since beginning to write upon End-times 15 years ago, I’ve posted news occasionally on the Gog-Magog alliance but over double on events relating to Iran.

Upon the 7th October Atrocity of utter demonic depravity I suspected Iran’s supportive direction if not direct involvement, which is becoming apparent not only through attacks by its hezbollah and houthi proxies but also by public announcements. So I posted The very first two jigsaw-pieces of my ‘Invisible Jigsaw’, Israel and Iran, citing its president. Around that time prophet Tomi Arayomi brings the Lord’s confirmation that “hamas is Iran’s patsy”!

AND it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Iran is directing attacks on those other two fronts before Israel has to decisively remove hezbollah’s rockets throughout Lebanon.

As a retired high-ranking army officer Neil Mackereth considers Israel’s options to deal with and defend itself from such heinous evil and possible outcomes.  Thus, along with latest news he tentatively considers the Gog-Magog prophecy and concludes:

“Undoubtedly, one of Satan’s objectives, in his attempts to undermine God’s redemptive plan, is to stop the fulfillment of Biblical End-times prophecy. To that end, he is seeking to annihilate all Jews so that Jesus has no Jewish Kingdom to which to return and rule. The Bible shows that he will fail.

“We may appear to be in an unstoppable downward spiral to disaster, but God’s plans will not be thwarted. It has never been more important to understand the signs of the
times, watch for the fulfillment of prophecy, and to be ready. JESUS WILL RETURN.
Halleluiah!”

Bear that in mind for the next post wherein we consider another friend’s response.

IRAN’S INVOLVEMENT

Now, however, look at more pointers to Iran’s active role as Gog-Magog principal nation along with ‘Gog’ Russia in the present-day, not necessarily precisely as prophesied by Ezekiel – in reverse chronological order:

The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 3: A War of Survival – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by
Reply

Hot on the heels of Part 2 my retired soldier friend and author of Signs: The Significance of Bible Prophecy submitted this afternoon (images added): 

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  TO  ISRAEL  PART 3 – A WAR OF SURVIVAL

Introduction

This is a very critical time in the history of modern Israel. I believe that decisions
made in the next few days will determine whether the Gog and Magog war (Ezekiel
38) is precipitated or if, alternatively, there will be a victory of sorts in Gaza followed
by a period of peace. The latter may seem the more attractive outcome; however,
there is no doubt that the Gog and Magog war is coming.

As I said at the end of Part 2, the situation is changing as I write. What is more, it is
difficult to get accurate real-time information. I am deeply distressed by the
polarisation that is developing; and by the BBC reporting, which seems intent on
encouraging that polarisation. [RB. It’s exceptionally badly biased pro-hamas support was noted 9 years ago in my Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza!)

The media must bear some responsibility for the imbalance in reporting that, I believe, is encouraging mass intolerance and demonstrations, in support of a movement many of the partakers know very little about. Watching recent news reports, I am reminded of scenes from “Kristallnacht” in Germany in 1938, when marauding mobs roamed the streets attacking Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues.

RB: In his frequent on-the-ground updates Amir Tsarfati gives this informative link to a virtual Mapping the October 7th Massacres

The Dilemma Facing Israel

In any military appreciation of a situation, it is always wise to seek to assess, and try
to better understand, the situation from the enemy’s point of view. That requires a
working knowledge of their motives, intentions, strengths and weaknesses, and
tactics; and, in particular, what they must be stopped from doing, whatever the cost.
The leaders of Israel face an almost impossible dilemma.

Some key factors affecting their decision making:
  • Iran, and its proxies, are motivated by a deeply flawed genocidal Muslim
    theology.
  • Israel is losing the propaganda war – and putting Israel, and Jews world-wide,
    in great jeopardy.
  • Every effort must be made to rescue the hostages.
  • Hamas uses the Gaza population as a human shield and hides its operational
    headquarters, weapons and munitions etc., in tunnels under hospitals,
    schools and such like.
  • Hamas pays no heed to the “rules of war”.
  • World opinion, and the need to maintain the support of allies, may limit flexibility (hamper operations).
  • Iran is likely to have the ability to build and deliver nuclear warheads, within
    weeks. The thought of that capability, being in the hands of radical Muslim
    fanatics, is frightening.
  • Hezbollah has over 100,000 fighters, is far better equipped and trained than
    Hamas, and has at least 100,000 rockets, many of which are sophisticated
    precision (targetable) missiles, plus drones and anti-tank, anti-aircraft and
    anti-ship missiles.
  • If Hezbollah where to attack fully now, Israel is mobilised and ready; if they don’t,
    Israel has to ask why not?
  • Possibilities (What Ifs): Perhaps Iran’s strategy involves the drawing out of the IDF, and the loss of Hamas and Gaza citizens may be viewed as a necessary sacrifice (collateral damage) to achieving their ultimate goal (explained in Part 1, radical Muslims do not have a western mind-set). Or perhaps Iran wants to delay an attack, in order to complete its nuclear weapons programme.

Summary

For Israel, “victory” in Gaza (and only Gaza) could lead to a false peace and, as a
consequence, to the demobilisation of reservists. The battle fatigued reservists would return home (and back to work) and start to relax. If Hezbollah were then to launch a full-scale attack, i.e., shortly after IDF demobilisation, the challenges for Israel would be immense.

God is revealing the true nature of the society in which we live, and it is alarmingly bad. The liberals, who took control of the madhouse decades ago, do not understand what they have unleashed. Their view that most, if not all, people are motivated by logic, reason and self-interest is flawed: there are some who will never enter negotiations with honest intent.

Iran and its proxies are driven by a deep pathological hatred of Israel and are committed to a radical Muslim theology that demands the annihilation of all Jews.
Similarly, the “Palestinian Cause” has always been a cover for the expulsion of Jews
from Israel, and has never been about sharing the land.

Why are the blood-chilling genocidal statements made by anti-Israel leaders and clerics, that show their true motives, never broadcast by the mainstream media?

Conclusion

Israel is fighting a war for its existence against a genocidal enemy. Whichever way things go, it seems inevitable that Israel will be vilified and, by association, all Jews world-wide will suffer.

Undoubtedly, one of Satan’s objectives, in his attempts to undermine God’s redemptive plan, is to stop the fulfillment of Biblical End-times prophecy. To that end, he is seeking to annihilate all Jews so that Jesus has no Jewish Kingdom to which to return and rule. The Bible shows that he will fail.

We may appear to be in an unstoppable downward spiral to disaster, but God’s plans
will not be thwarted. It has never been more important to understand the signs of the
times, watch for the fulfillment of prophecy, and to be ready. JESUS WILL RETURN.
Halleluiah!

Cont’d: ‘…to the international media – this is how the terrorist organization Hamas takes fuel from the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, at the expense of the humanitarian needs of the residents of Gaza.

The exposed conversation between the commander of the West Jabaliya battalion of Hamas and Gazati, with the participation of the director of the Indonesian hospital, is further proof of Hamas’ cynical use of humanitarian resources in the Gaza Strip. In addition, the conversation confirms that the terrorist organization Hamas controls the existing energy resources in the Gaza Strip and chooses to channel them for its operational needs at the expense of the needs of the civilian population.’

The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 2: Gaza in Bible history and prophecy – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by
5

Continuing from Part 1 and, in view of its direct relevance, again I head up my friend’s exposition with this from Behold Israel channel:

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  TO  ISRAEL – Part 2

Gaza

I was surprised to discover that Gaza is mentioned at least 20 times in the Bible. The
only positive reference I could find was the story, in Acts 8, where Phillip evangelises
and baptises a man who is on his way to Gaza.

For the most part, Gaza is referred to as a place where the leaders and people (e.g.,
the Canaanites and the Philistines) hated God and the Israelites. The Israelites, in
Judges 1, were ordered by God to conquer Gaza, which they did.

The prophets Amos (1:6-7), Zephania (2:4) and Zechariah (9:5) wrote about the
wickedness of Gaza and the judgement that God would bring upon its inhabitants.
I will return shortly to the question of whether the current calamity in Gaza has end-
times significance.

The Palestinian Cause

The Palestinians have shaped a widely accepted narrative, about their history and
situation, which is based on lies. They have been so successful in convincing the
media to promulgate their version of history, that any attempt to challenge the
accuracy of their fabricated story is now seen as race hatred and/or Islamophobia.
Comments that the region has been “Palestine” for 2000 years, and that Gaza has
been confined and its people oppressed by colonialist Israel, are simply not true.
These entrenched views are well-nigh impossible to correct.

Rather than reiterate what others have said, I recommend the comprehensive and
well-researched articles posted on “Richard’s Watch”: Conversations and corrections
over history of Palestine and Israel – 1 of 2  and 2 of 2

Also, a “Prophecy Today” article, which lays bare some very uncomfortable facts about the true intentions of Radical and Apocalyptic Islam: Cutting Through the Fog of War

In a nutshell, the land (about 10 times the size of current Israel) was given by God to
the Israelites over 4000 years ago. Roman Emperor Hadrian crushed an Israeli
revolt in 135 AD and renamed Israel (Judea) Syria Palistina, in his attempts to
subdue Jewish nationalism.

The truth is that, after they began returning to Israel and the state consequently being established in 1948, it was to a very small area of their homeland.

In researching these topics: I have noted that many sources of information, including
the UN, have sanitised (adjusted or omitted) parts of the History of the region.

The tragedy of the false “Palestinian” narrative is that many compassionate people,
with a heart for the disadvantaged and social justice, do not understand the full
history of the movements they support: the people of Gaza need to be freed from
Hamas (see Part 1). Hamas have no interest or concern for the well-being of the
people they use as their human shields in Gaza, and who they exploit for propaganda
purposes.

Prophetic Significance

Returning to the question of Gaza’s prophetic significance. There are a number of
biblical prophecies that need to be borne in mind, by anyone who is intentional about
marrying past prophecies with contemporary events. Time will tell whether we are
witnessing Matthew 24 “birth pains”, or further along the End-Times time-line. Some
relevant prophecies:

  1. Damascus will be in ruins (Isaiah 17:1)
  2. There will be wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6-7)
  3. Gaza will writhe in agony (Zechariah 9:5)
  4. False teachers and prophets will lead people astray (2 Peter 2:1-2)
  5. Earthquakes, famines, plague and pestilences will intensify (Luke 21:11)
  6. Travel and knowledge will increase greatly (Daniel 12:4)
  7.  People will prefer fantasy to reality, myth to truth (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
  8. The Jews have returned to their Biblical homeland (many prophecies); however,
    not all of the Jews have returned, and only to a fraction of the “Promised Land”.
  9. The desolate land (Israel) will (has) become fertile and fruitful—Zechariah 7:14.
  10. Things will be as they were in the days of Noah and people will be proud,
    unforgiving, lovers of self, lovers of money and pleasure (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
  11. For any communication on end time prophecies the message, and the
    messenger, will be mocked and ridiculed (2 Peter 3:3-4).
  12. The whole world will see Jerusalem as a problem (Zechariah 12:2-3).
  13. Christians will be persecuted and martyred (Matthew 24:9).
  14. Many will turn away from the Christian faith (Matthew 24:10).

Where Are We?

I am not sure, but what I can say is that we are not yet in the Ezekiel 38
Gog and Magog war. Some reasons: Russia (Magog)and Iran (Persia) are
not directly involved; Israel is not alone (weapons, equipment and
diplomatic support coming from other nations); Christians have not been
raptured (?)(!). However, the situation could alter very rapidly.

I had thought I would be able to “conclude” at this point. Not so, even as
I write I begin to hear and to realise that things are far more fragile than
I had originally believed. Israel is fighting for its very existence, and I will
explain why in Part 3.

RB Footnotes:
  1. Part 1’s PS screenshot refers to ‘taqiyya’; the doctrine of deception about Islam to avoid attacks. Read more at ‘Islam Question & Answers’ via Google search.
  2. The Jewish rebellion had lasted 60 years and Rome humiliated them by renaming the province after their centuries-old enemy.
  3. In A Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza posted in June 2014, I noted over 11,000 genocidal rockets had been launched against Israel since it left Gaza nine years earlier. The number must now at least be double that and each attack is logged in Rocket & Mortar Attacks Against Israel by Date (2001-date) at the Jewish Virtual Library
  4. JVL’s History Wing contains a detailed history the Jewish people and the land.
  5. Prophecy TodayUK has published several excellent articles on recent events. I was disappointed, however, when its manager wanted to close our contact upon requesting their removal from the organisations listed in my paper of 2020 on The State of Prophetic in the UK.

‘God-incidence’ of 2nd Pivotal Point foretold by Jesus: “As in the Days of Noah…”

Posted on by

MY, WHAT A ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’!
This morning I read two separate items published yesterday referring to The Days of Noah. First, from the collection of news items on progress of prophecies brought by Julie Green:

PS. Note the ‘double-22’ yet again in the date of her covering prophecy!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12681313/Has-Noahs-Ark-Archaeologists-reveal-ruins-Turkeys-boat-shaped-mound-date-5-000-years-ago-period-Biblical-flood.html

Secondly, in last night’s Koenig’s Eye View From The White House, Bill Wilson KIN Senior Analyst writes (emphases mine):

‘The Days of Noah and our Prophetic Times

WASH—Oct 23—KIN–The Biblical account of Noah has very similar underpinnings to the current condition of the world. As evil plays out in the Hamas attack on Israel, we can see clearly the inhumanity of humanity. When a group of people led by hatred and a genocidal ideology boldly murder, rape, torture, and dismember an innocent population, then is praised by the masses and justified by media, we know that the visitation of evil is upon us.

The prophetic words of Christ about the end of days resonate with this time in which we live. While there are several events that must occur before the return of Christ, we are witnessing prophetic signs of the coming end of the age both in the general world population and in Israel in particular.

Asked by his disciples about the signs of his coming and the end of the world, Christ was very specific. He likened world conditions to the time of Noah, when God cleansed the earth with the great flood. In Luke 17:26-27, Christ said,

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”

Likewise, Matthew quoted Christ saying,

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Genesis 6:5-8 tells us the why behind both the flood and Noah’s position with God, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

Herein, is the hope and faith for each of us as time closes in on the return of Christ. 2 Peter 2:5 says God “did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness…”

2 Peter 2:9 concludes that “the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of danger.” The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no adversity, or temptation, has overtaken you except what is common to man, but God is faithful and will not allow you to go through more than what you can bear, and with the adversity he “will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

How? By your faith. Hebrews 11:17 says, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Noah is an example for us in these dark, yet prophetic times. By faith, let us look beyond the evil of the days to the promise of our prophetic destiny. Be encouraged. You are HIS!’

Conversations and corrections over history of Palestine and Israel – 2 of 2

Posted on by

Preface:

The purpose of my recounting these online conversations is to ensure visitors to this blog can appreciate that there’s a far deeper background to Israel’s ‘Day of Infamy’ on 6th October than is claimed by militant masses devoid of compassion, who instead complain vociferously about Palestinians being trampled down.

NB: many traditional Jews are opposed to Zionism and the creation of a national state of Israel.

In A Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza (July 2014) I cite renowned British journalist Melanie Phillips:

“This thing ultimately defies rational explanation. As Islamist savagery spreads, the moral depravity of the Western animus against Israel and the Jews can only be described as a metaphysical psychosis.”

Why did the West turn against Israel? In answering, Melanie refers to the conventional explanation that, with the post-1967 ‘occupation’, modern David turned into Goliath.

In The West’s Metaphysical Psychosis Melanie provides a solid explanation by referring to Joshua Murvachik’s new book, Making David into Goliath: How the World Turned Against Israel. Eg. China’s oppression of Tibet didn’t produce the same reaction. In her review Melanie puts Murvachik’s illuminating analysis of the inexplicable into a nutshell – the Arab and Muslim world set out to bend the Western mind, and succeeded.’

COMMENTARIES CONT’D

Soon after that infamous day, John Barber posted his observations at JRB Publications Israel at War. What is Happening in Israel Today followed by yesterday’s Israel and Calvinism – two hot potatoes!, which generated ‘conversations’ on Facebook.

Also yesterday, as in the previous part 1, John shares John Hymus’ item and to which one of his regular contributors objects as to its history but rightly says the satisfactory answer must be a two-states solution.

NOW, that’s just what Netanyahu was working towards with Saudi Arabia BUT which goal is not what terrorist controllers of Gaza desire – hence hamas’ war-crime to stop development of the two-state solution.  Moreover, during negotiations of 1993 Oslo Peace Accords the Palestinian Authority often delayed progress!!!

‘P’, another regular with whom I’ve ‘discussed’ American politics, claims Israeli brutality against ordinary Palestinians and political frustration resulted in the nazi-style pogrom.

Obviously, both my protagonists are unfamiliar with hamas’ true, published objectives and the first, being an atheist, rebuked me as God that people believe in is the same whatever their faith.  So I told him Islam’s god is very different Io the real God with whom Christians are in a personal relationship.

‘P’ reacts: “This more than “Hot potatoes” this is murder of women and children. This coming from Jewish Voice for Peace…” (copy JVP article, the statistics of which are to be verified, saying Israel guilty of genocide and attacking West Bank Palestinians).

Being open-minded I wanted to check out this source, as I’d heard about Jewish Voice for Peace in connection with a mob inside the US Capitol led by an offensive Islamist.

I found JVP’s reaction to the massacre – but whilst regret over loss of lives, there’s NO condemnation of the barbarity. Upon spotting a key factual error of 20th Century history I reply to ‘P’ as follows:

“Upon checking JVP’s site and coverage of the barbaric massacre and kidnapping of hundreds of Jews during their sabbath, plus people from over 40 nations – not just an attack on Jews alone but also upon the global community! – I note they fail to mention it was a deliberate albeit undeclared act of war. However they excuse it with two wrongs DO make it right – thereby hypocritically copying Israel!

JVP article states, “The Israeli government may have just declared war, but its war on Palestinians started over 75 years ago. Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence. Reality is shaped by when you start the clock.”

War started by Israel “over 75 years ago” > WRONG! A LIE!

100 years ago during the rise of Arab nationalism Yasser Arafat’s uncle Haj Amin al-Husseini, who rose to become Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and close friend of Hitler, incited bloody anti-Jewish riots in 1920, ’29 & ’36 – AND to our great shame with connivance of British officials overseeing our Mandate of Palestine!!! https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/haj-amin-al-husseini

And after World War II, ARAB nations continued to wage war against the long-established and immigrant Jewish communities!

So, we need factual historical honesty, do we not?

As JVP claims reality is shaped when ‘the clock’ starts, it begs these questions:

  • why have they got timing and associated facts wrong – and implicitly,
  • what else do they get wrong, even deliberately distort??

PS Remember the Islamic principle of taqiyaa – lying and dissimulation is approved by their god!”

‘P’ responds: “This is a Jewish site not Islamic.”

RB: “Yes I know, but it will indubitably be influenced by Muslims, as inferred from inaccuracy on basic historic facts.”

With respect to that influence, even infiltration perhaps, here’s what I already knew – NB Anti-Defamation League’s warning about Jewish Voice for Peace!!!:

The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 1: Islam’s counterfeit Christ – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by

After these quieter years of reduced coverage of the Middle-East, it’s strange to remind ourselves of the Iranian regime’s ominous role, not only in directing its proxy terrorists against Israel but also its inhuman Shiite theology about the necessity of killing people in order to hasten the return of its false ‘messiah’ (click to read my many posts on this issue).

So I’m pleased to welcome and publish Neil Mackereth’s latest analysis (emphases mine):

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  AGAINST  ISRAEL – PART 1

Introduction

There seems to be a view that Jews should not seek to prevent their own destruction.

However great the evil atrocities perpetrated against them, it is not long after the event before Israel is being called upon to be proportionate and show restraint – the hypocrisy is staggering.

Furthermore, the recognition, in some cases mealy mouthed, that Israel has a right to defend itself is undermined by the immediate acceptance of Hamas claims of Israeli “atrocities”, without due diligence, appropriate caution, and certainly without equally loud coverage, if and when the claim turns out to have been a lie.

Mass rallies in support of the “Palestinian cause”, in reality, venerate terrorists and infer that genocidal Hamas’ behaviour is resistance, while Israeli resistance is genocide!

The media seem to miss the point that Hamas, the “government” of Gaza, shows no interest in the welfare of the Palestinians living in Gaza, pays no attention to the laws relating to the conduct of war, and seeks the annihilation of all Jews. For Israel to survive, Hamas needs to be expunged, and that may require a surgical strike on Iran, the “puppet-masters”; as well as a ground war in Gaza.

Background

I am convinced that the world faces an unprecedented, much misunderstood and, even now, barely acknowledged threat from both “Radical Islam” and “Apocalyptic Islam”.

I want to be clear; many Muslims are peace-loving, law-abiding and blameless.

However, it is an uncomfortable fact that jihadists and fundamentalists are still real Muslims. Furthermore, it is sad that, as our media shows, there are mass rallies and protests by Muslim extremists, but we do not hear much from the moderate peace-loving Muslims.

Recent events relating to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, have highlighted the dangers of complacency when looking at the rise of Iran and its terrorist proxies. Iran is, to a large extent, a hermit kingdom. Our western mindset and ignorance have blinded us to the truth of its intentions and methods. It hungers for genocide; its religious views make it constitutionally incapable of certain types of change, even if that change might ensure its survival; and it considers itself a herald of —and a likely headline player in — the imminent end of the world.

Iran follows a fundamentalist Islamic creed that it believes will lead to a final confrontation that precipitates the return of the Mahdi (the 12th Imam) the Islamic “messiah”. In this respect, Iran has a medieval religious fervour, commitment and mission that the West has difficulty understanding.

This ideology permeates the whole legal and political direction of Iran. There is no genuine recognition of, or negotiation with, any nation or person who has not given allegiance to Islam. In other words, recognition of other nations, international treaties, laws and so on, is only tolerated as a necessary expedient, or stepping stone, to its ultimate goal. In truth, it is duty-bound not to negotiate with infidels. Therein lies the challenge!

Most commentators agree that the Shi’a leaders of Iran are seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, by whatever means, and they make no secret of their ambition to destroy Israel. They seek to hasten the final world confrontation, precipitating the Mahdi’s return. They have also expressed their aim to rid the world of the United States, a country they refer to as “The Great Satan.” We have seen that the possibility of collateral damage to “friends” plays no part in the strategy and tactics of Iran and its proxies.

Israel is convinced that it faces a nation whose rulers are driven by an apocalyptic, genocidal, End-times eschatology which involves the annihilation of Israel.

The question for diplomats and negotiators operating on behalf of democratic western nations, is whether they can rely on there being any honest intent or integrity in any pledges made by those who actually see it as in their best interests to mislead and prevaricate?

The Return of the Mahdi

The Mahdi, or 12th Imam, is the anticipated saviour of Islam destined to lead Muslims to world domination. Some Muslim leaders see it as their duty to precipitate the return of the Mahdi by instigating world turmoil. The Muslim teaching, that Jesus was a prophet who will return, can cause confusion because of its apparent similarity with Christianity. However, the “Jesus” of Islam is not accepted as Son of God and is foreseen as returning as an assistant of the Mahdi, enforcing conversion to Islam.

The belief in the imminent return of the Mahdi is more prevalent amongst Middle-Eastern Muslims than might be expected.

According to a poll taken by the Pew Research Centre in 2012, a surprisingly large number of Muslims in Middle Eastern countries believe they will live to see the return of the Mahdi. The figures for this belief by Muslims of the Mahdi’s imminent return are: Egyptians 40%; Jordanians 41%; Palestinians 46%; Iraqis 72%.

Figures for those Muslims who believe Jesus will return as a deputy to the Mahdi are: Egyptians 39%; Jordanians 29%; Palestinians 46% and Iraqis 64%.

Christians need to be aware of this parallel and counterfeit version of the return of Christ and understand the political implications of this teaching about a false messiah and a false prophet. The leaders of radical and apocalyptic Islam are seeking to mobilise those who share their End-times views and to convert or destroy those who don’t.

Is what is happening in Israel and Gaza an End-times “sign”? The brutality of Hamas certainly fulfils Jesus’ general predictions of violence in the End-times. Radical and apocalyptic Islam might also be seen as contributors to the urgent need for a peace treaty which will, in fact, be the catalyst for the start of the time of tribulation.

I will look at the Biblical significance of Gaza in Part 2.

The Hamas Incursion: A Window Into Second Signpost Tactics

‘On closer inspection, there are similarities between Hamas’ attack on southern Israel and how the Second Signpost—the attack and invasion by Iran on Mideast Muslim nations—might play out.

And why not? After all, the IRGC trained Hamas and all the militants in the regions around Israel. I believe we have a window into how the IRGC will conduct war during the Second Signpost. (Click above image for link to continue reading).’

The Signpost Perspective: The Hamas-Israel War, 2023

I’ve cited Mark Davidson on several occasions and he now writes:

‘While many could think this is just yet another attack on Israel by one of the many Islamist militias surrounding Israel, it is also one of the most ferocious attacks on Israel since the Yom Kippur War that started 50 years ago.

The Signpost Perspective

From the Signpost perspective, we can look a little deeper into the meaning of this incursion by Hamas. Now, we know from the Signpost theory of Bible interpretation that the Second Signpost is next. There are also reasons (explained in this post and this post) to believe the Psalm 83 war would occur at the same time, in order to pin Israeli forces down allowing the IRGC to invade and occupy Muslim nations. Hamas would correspond to Philistia in the list of peoples attacking in Psalm 83:5–8.

The following is a short list of possibilities, listed from least dangerous to more dangerous….(Click above image for link to continue reading)’

Prophetic word for Jerusalem; with news – Christopher Wickland

Ezekiel 7:11 ‘Violence (Hamas) has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nothing of their crowds, nothing of their wealth – there is nothing of importance in them.’

“Oh Israel, My daughter, My Zion. At this time you sit alone like a shelter in a vineyard. The nations gather round you and conspire against you. Acts of violence (Hamas) are brought against you from the sky and the airwaves.

When you suffer, you sit alone in silent patience with no one to help you, none to defend your cause. Yet I AM your ADONAI, I AM merciful and I will not reject you O My people. I take no pleasure in causing you grief or pain. I AM your shield and your very great reward.

I know Israel, that you have become tired, you have become weary. You have become as one who walks around the same mountain year on year. ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!’ Yet Shalom seems to evade the city of peace. Like an old garment, you have become tired and stretched thin.

Let Me comfort you O Jerusalem, for you are the city of Ariel. I will bring back that which is lost to you, that which your heart desires everyday. I will return that which I took from you My people. I will give you back your heart, that you may stand strong until the end.

In this hour I want to show favour and compassion to you. The enemy has come like a flood to you, but I will raise up My standard against violence (Hamas) in these days. You will no longer sit as a shack in a field of cucumbers.

Watch My people, I will raise up nations who will stand up for you, who will defend your cause. I will even cause some who are your enemies to be your allies in the days ahead.

I will raise up sheep nations that will stand alongside you My Ariel. The land of three Lions will come to your aid soon with strength and military power. When they do, you will stand shoulder to shoulder with others whom I will raise to shield you from violence (Hamas).

You are My suffering servant and much pain lies ahead, but the days of Peace from the city of Peace are coming, when I shall rule and reign as your ADONAI from Mount Zion and my glory shall cover the earth as the waters cover the seas”

RB: RECENT NEWS:

The invasion and utterly sub-human, barbaric massacre of and kidnapping of hundreds of children, parents and other adults after dawn on 7th October, a high sabbath at the close of Israel’s Feast of Tabernacles and national holiday, was a deliberate act of war by hamas, the governing body of Gaza.  By attacking not only Israeli citizens but also those of many other nations it declared war against the whole world!
Thus, they’re consequently and directly responsible for their own failed rocket blowing up outside the Baptist hospital in Gaza!!

Intriguing confirmation of End-times discussion – Prophets & Patriots #77

HIGHLY recommended for viewing and careful listening as soon as possible – the ‘God-incidental’ timing of it coming to my attention is a strong indicator of its great import (as told below). Take particular note of Dr Jan’s account of her connection with President Trump and knowledge of his plans and activities relating to Devolution ‘theory’, as well as reference to his faith in “THE Boss”:. She is currently based in England.

Late afternoon and early evening yesterday whilst installing Windows 11 I was able to catch up on a long-running discussion thread on a friend’s Facebook about re-introducing masks. My early off-the-cuff remark on “MaSk is 1 letter away from MaRk” and its relevance to Revelation 13 – as had dropped into mind upon being awoken in the middle of the night in mid-July 2020 – generated many detailed contributions! (Click here and here for my posts positing they’re part of satanic strategy.)

Readers may recall my briefings of last February on The Book of Revelation (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) which cited the writings of Revd David Pawson among others

Well, I can now add a ninth variation upon the main five theological interpretations. An ardent ‘Preterist/symbolic’ contributor to the Facebook thread insists that because WE are to be like Jesus, HE Himself is NOT going to return in person! – despite His own several references and Acts 1:1 ‘men in white’ saying,

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

This person’s points have some merit but the way scripture is misquoted I’m reminded of gnostic, heretical themes I’d accepted as a New Ager. Hence, my deep reservations and stating last night that their perspective is misleading.

Another accused me of being a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and asked if I voted for Trump! In citing my 15 years of monitoring US presidents I alluded to his serving the Lord but this person took grave exception, saying God is against him!

‘GOD-INCIDENCE‘

Immediately after closing my responses I got a message from Chris Bennett with a link to the previous evening’s Elijah Streams broadcast, of which Dr Jan Halper-Hayes is a regular viewer. Chris says  “Well worth a watch. What revelation!”

MOREOVER from 1hr 03mins she and Steve discuss the difficulty many of fixed opinion have in assessing new information. So I continue to weigh an unusual approach to End-times; but keep recalling Jesus’ first remark to his disciples’ question of “When”,

And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’[d]Therefore do not[e]go after them.  (Luke 21:8 NKJV)

So once again I’ve been getting flak whilst “over the target”, but the Lord has it in hand to provide encouragement and confirmation of my pro-Trump stance… AND I even had time to watch the video right away!!
