Quote: "The Falash Mura, who call themselves Beta Israel, are Ethiopians of Jewish ancestry whose progenitors converted to Christianity several generations ago to escape social and economic pressures. Many have since resumed Jewish practices while awaiting aliya, but their emigration has stalled over questions about who will pay for their immigration and absorption in Israel, whether or not they really are Jews, and how many of them remain in Ethiopia.

The Falash Mura are just one of many groups waiting to return to Eretz Yisrael, in fulfilment of the 2500 year promise God made in the Old Testament Scriptures. Their desires to be united with their homeland after nearly 2000 years of separation shows just how close the Lord's return is.

Hosea 6:2 
After two days (2000 years) will he revive us (Israel): in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight (Millennial reign of Christ).

Quote: "The Prince raised his concerns when he met senior Muslims in London in November 2001. The gathering took place just two months after the attacks on New York and Washington. "I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational," the Prince said, according to one leader at the meeting.

Prince Charles, head an ears in the New Age movement, defied English law when he stated he preferred to be known as the "Defender of Faiths", rather than the "Defender of THE Faith", his official title as head of the Church of England. Some Christians believe Prince Charles may also be a prime candidate for the role of Antichrist, due to the fact that he claims to have inherited an unbroken bloodline from Jesus Christ (which according to Scripture is blasphemy), and is head of the Merovingian Order, one of the highest Masonic orders in the world. Prince Charles, it is claimed, can also trace his lineage from practically all of the most powerful leaders in world. I personally don't think he is "the Antichrist", but nevertheless his power stretches well beyond the borders of the United Kingdom. He even recently requested to inherit the title as King of Europe, but was refused by the European Parliament.

EU's Foreign policy chief Javier Solana in a statement said "the perpetrators of these heinous crimes must and will be brought to justice." Pakistan termed the serial blasts as "a criminal act of terrorism". PTI

India and Pakistan have suffered terribly in just the last few weeks, with a major monsoon lashing India killing many people, a major train crash which killed over 100 individuals, and of course the Pakistani earthquake, which is so far believed to have been responsible for the deaths of over 60,000 people, and most likely will be the death of many more.

Quote: "Police say the heads were found some distance from the bodies. It is unclear what was behind the attack, but the girls attended a private Christian school and one of the heads was left outside a church leading to speculation that it might have had a religious motive.

Muslims believe the proper way to kill an infidel is by decapitation. This has been testified by millions across the globe, by the horrific public broadcasting of the death of Ken Biggley, among many others, who lost their lives for simply working in Iraq - or supposedly supporting a religious crusade by the Great Satan (America) against an Islamic nation. Muslims that convert to Christianity are often killed by family members in so-called "honour killings". Some Christians believe that Indonesia's treatment of Christians is possibly the reason why the region suffered so terribly during the Asian earthquake. But even though Muslims may kill Christians in this horrific manner, it is important that we Christians still reach out to them with the Gospel, for that is the only thing guaranteed to change lives. They need Christ.

Revelation 20:4 
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Quote: "The quartet's demand was announced by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke for about a half-hour by telephone with U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, and European diplomats Javier Solana and Benita Ferraro Waldner. The quartet called for restraint and communication between Israel and the Palestinians and said an escalation of violence should be avoided.

Although Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for last week's attack, many Israelis believe that the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade - linked to the PA, also gave logistical support, for Islamic Jihad is a small group and would have been incapable of mounting such an attack on their own. Al-Aqsa Martyrs would also not have wished to keep their noses clean, as not to create any more pressure for Palestinian Authority President Abbas from the Israelis than he is already under.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Quote: "While the EU’s budget for common foreign and security policy stands at €62.5m ($75.5m, £42.5m) this year, Mr Solana believes it will be impossible to meet the Union’s existing commitments for 2006 with less than €85m. He will argue that the EU’s crisis management operations, which began in 2003, have given the Union international clout that it never had before. He believes, for example, that the EU’s work on policing in Congo helped it convince the country’s government to reform its constitution, while its mission to monitor a peace deal in Aceh has raised its profile in Asia.

The now suspended European Constitution would have given Javier Solana the official job as European Foreign Minister, and would have created the job description of an official European President. Until now he has had to contend with Britain, France and Germany, who have taken it on themselves to form the Foreign Policy for Europe in the interim period. There is no doubt Javier Solana is a highly successful politician, and has brokered many agreements and resolved many disputes throughout the world. If the European Constitution was ratified by 2007 - and European leaders are still committed to this target, Javier Solana would be one of the key men in Europe, and possibly a prime contender for fulfilling the role of the Antichrist himself.

These were the words of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the recently elected President of Iran, as he made a startling announcement at an Anti-Zionist conference that has brought world-wide condemnation. His comments came on a day that saw five Israelis killed in Hadera in yet another suicide bombing. 

Iran's desire for Israel's destruction is already well known, but what is particularly worrying is that this call should come from the Iranian President himself, effectively an official sanction for any Islamic attack on Israel. What is more worrying is that Iran is still pressing ahead with developing its nuclear programme - along with help from Russia and China, and believes it has a right to possess nuclear weapons.

Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, has asked his ambassador to the UN to call for Iran to be ejected from the United Nations, for condoning state genocide, which is in contravention of the UN Charter on Human Rights.

Quote: "Iran's president did not stop there, continuing his vitriol during a speech at a conference called "A World Without Zionism." Ahmadinejad told the audience that the "new wave" of Palestinian attacks would destroy Israel, that Muslim countries that made peace with Israel would "burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury" and that a world without the US and Israel would be possible, reported the Iranian government news agency, IRNA.

Although most nations condemn this outrage, and rightly so, the Bible tells us that the world will one day unite to fulfil the call of this Iranian President for the destruction of Israel. But at that moment, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth and defeat those armies, and set up His kingdom which will never be destroyed.

Zechariah 14:2-4 
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
And his feet (Christ) shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Britain has also announced similar plans earlier in the year, for which the Labour government have suffered much criticism. Tony Blair cited several different reasons for introducing the scheme. First he stated that it would reduce terrorism and immigration problems. After his re-election, he claimed it would reduce fraud. But a few months ago the Labour government was forced to admit they had oversold the advantages of the chipped passports to the public.

It is expected to cost the British public over £300 per passport, a figure which could leave some poor families in debt. The passport won't be compulsory at first, which makes one wonder what the point is in having one. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. So eventually every UK resident will be forced to buy the passport if the scheme is to be successful, even if they aren't planning to leave the country. And if they refuse, they could face a fine of thousands of pounds.

Quote: "Over the last year, opposition to the idea of implanting RFID chips in passports has grown amidst worries that identity thieves could snatch personal information out of the air simply by aiming a high-powered antenna at a person or a vehicle carrying a passport. Out of the 2,335 comments on the plan that were received by the State Department this year, 98.5 percent were negative. The objections mostly focused on security and privacy concerns. But the Bush administration chose to go ahead with embedding 64KB chips in future passports, citing a desire to abide by "globally interoperable" standards devised by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency. Other nations, including the United Kingdom and Germany, have announced similar plans.

Just months ago, another major homosexual rally was being organized, just as Katrina hit New Orleans, causing the forced evacuation of over a million people, and the deaths of tens of thousands. But "Southern Decadence" wouldn't let a little wind and rain stop play. The show must go on! ...while thousands of people were literally starving to death all around them. Sodom and Gomorrah wouldn't do it justice.

Quote: "The catastrophic damage left by Katrina did not stop homosexuals from partying, as less than a week after the disaster, as thousands of people were suffering from homelessness and hunger in their flooded city, a group of "gays" marched down Bourbon Street in the Big Easy. A few days later, other homosexuals gathered in Lafayette, La., to hold what they called the Southern Decadence Parade in Exile.

Around 16 nations have already signed up to the seven year agreement, which is to be formally introduced on January 1st, 2007. Israel was the first nation to sign up in December 2004, and the Palestinian Authority along with a few other Arab nations have also signed the deal. Javier Solana is to be personally responsible for this policy, and will be drafting a mid-term review of progress which will be submitted to the European Council.

Quote: "European Parliament President Josep Borrell has said that the EP "will do what it can to make sure the EU negotiates with Armenia". Both Solana and Borrell emphasised the need for Armenia and Turkey to settle their border dispute as a precondition for Turkey's prospective EU membership, and they also reiterated the need for Ankara to recognise the killing of Armenians in the early 20th century as genocide.

MEP's also announced last week that Armenia may also sign up to the new European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), along with Turkey. This would put the current number of countries signed up to the ENP at seventeen. A seven year covenant with many nations - including Israel, aimed at bringing peace and stability to Europe's borders, with a mid-term review by the head of the Revived Roman Empire... All sounds very familiar... 

Daniel 8:25 
And through his (Antichrist's) policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many (nations): he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Daniel 9:27 
And he (Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many (nations) for one week (seven years): and in the midst of the week (mid term review) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Although I am just speculating here, I don't know if this is the agreement Daniel talks about or not, but with all that's happening in the world today we need to keep our eyes open, for the Lord's return is near.

Recent discoveries at the Temple Mount, extracted from the rubble discarded by the Islamic Wakf that administer the site, include official seals dating from the First and Second Temple eras, among other finds proving the authenticity of the Jewish Scriptures, which most Muslims seem to deny, even though the Koran calls Christians and Jews "people of the book". 

The Islamic Movement is already sending bus-loads of Muslims to "defend" the Temple Mount from these "Jewish attacks", they say would cause the destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque, but more likely would uncover more archaeological artefacts from the Jewish Temples most Muslims would be uncomfortable with.

Quote: "But Hatib blasted the center and dig, warning, "The plans endanger the mosque. Al Aqsa is close to the hearts and is important to all the Palestinians, the Arabs and the Muslims all over the world and even to those who are not religious and are not members of Islamic movements. Every attack or any try to hurt the mosque [will result in] 1.5 billion Arabs and Muslims rushing to defend Al Aqsa." And Hatib is not just talking. The Islamic Movement the past few weeks has been sending buses to Jaffa and other Israeli Arab neighborhoods offering free trips to the Al Aqsa Mosque to "defend" the structure from "Jewish attacks," Jaffa residents told WND.

Many are already seeing this meeting as an effort by EU leaders to try and define what it actually means to be European. With Europe facing economic hardship, along with a booming Chinese economy, more eastern nations seeking to join the club, for instance the Islamic nation of Turkey, along with arguments between France and Britain over farming subsidies, there is a lot of division between different states on how the EU should proceed.

The child was asked to draw a picture for an assignment regarding ways in which we can help save the environment. The picture was rejected by the school board over concerns that placing it on the cafeteria wall of the school would constitute an "establishment of religion". The student created another version for the school, but the school board still rejected it, covering up the child's drawing of Jesus Christ.

Quote: "In its opinion, the 2nd Circuit panel said the district court "overlooked evidence that, if construed, in the light most favorable to Peck, suggested that Antonio's poster was censored not because it was unresponsive to the assignment ... , but because it offered a religious perspective on the topic of how to save the environment."

The case has been referred back to a federal court for further consideration.

The city of San Francisco lies on a major fault line, and frequently experiences earthquakes. But seismologists believe San Francisco is long overdue a large earthquake, causing people to believe a quake in San Francisco could be the next "Katrina". 

The last major earthquake to occur in the region was in 1906. Similar circumstances occurred then as to the devastation in New Orleans, with the Mayor of San Francisco issuing a "shoot-to-kill" order to attempt to control the rampant looting. Morally, it seems, San Francisco has not learned its lesson.

Quote: "San Francisco has long been known as a “gay town.” Her people, having gained the reputation of liberality and light-heartedness, have possibly been too anxious to live up to that reputation and too careless of the methods adopted to that end. To put it frankly, and at the same time mildly, the people of San Francisco had fallen into an attitude of self-sufficiency and of corresponding indifference to the profounder considerations of life. The shake-up of April 18, 1906, caused at least a momentary change in this attitude. On that day many a man, and woman, too, found himself and herself face t face with a superior being and experienced a consequent chastening of the spirit.

Quote: "One viewer, activist Joy Wolfe, lodged a formal complaint to the BBC over pro-Palestinian bias even before the program was broadcast. “How are we supposed to give any credence to the BBC’s constant claim it is not biased when even in a trailer for an important series on the Israel-Palestinian conflict that bias and injection of opinion is there for all to see?” she wrote in an e-mail to senior BBC executives including Malcolm Balen, the BBC executive who serves as a kind of ombudsman for coverage of this region. The trailer in question heralded, “The story of how Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak persuaded President Clinton to devote his last 18 months in office to helping make peace with Yasser Arafat. But Barak got cold feet twice. Then Ariel Sharon took a walk around Jerusalem’s holiest mosques, and peacemaking was over.”

It is extremely significant that Israel should experience both an earthquake and a lunar eclipse, all during Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish Feast of Trumpets. Earthquakes are foretold as having a significant part of end time events, and in the Bible, often mark significant prophesies being fulfilled. For example, the earthquakes at both Christ's death (Matthew 27:54), and resurrection (Matthew 28:2). Eclipses also have a prophetic significance. A lunar eclipse, as I said yesterday, is especially significant considering Jewish tradition holds the moon as being symbolic of the Messiah, and on Rosh Hashanah, Jews call for the Messiah's return to deliver them from their enemies.

Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

One really wonders who "our side" and "their side" is. Who's the baddies and who's the goodies? 

Jacques Chirac has stated that he is against Turkish membership, and French opposition to Turkey played a big part in the last election. The Pope believes Turkey should not become a member of the EU because it was not "founded on Christianity" - in actual fact it was, but was conquered by Islamic invaders. Neo-Nazis do not want Turkey becoming part of the white supremacist federation. And Greece is up in arms over Turkish refusal to recognise Cyprus. Javier Solana certainly has his work cut out to convince people that this is a good idea.

For example, many believe that Jesus Christ was born during the Feast of Tabernacles, where Jewish people spend one week in a hand made dwelling to remember the time they came out of Egypt and dwelled in tents. It would be fitting that during this time, Jesus Christ came from heaven, and "tabernacled amongst us" on earth, as His Hebrew name Immanuel suggests - "God with us". Jesus Christ was crucified on the night of the Passover, the same night the angel of death passed over those houses that had the lamb's blood on the door posts. Of course, Jesus Christ is called the "Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world", John 1:29. Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the Jewish Feast of First Fruits, and His resurrection is called the "First Fruits" from among the dead, or in other words, the first of many to be resurrected never to die again (1st Corinthians 15:23). And again, the Holy Spirit was given during Pentecost, another Jewish feast.

On the Feast of Trumpets, observant Jews will blow the Shofar (ram's horn) at the wailing wall, as a call to national repentance, and a call for the Messiah to come and deliver them from their enemies. Well what's so significant about this year's Rosh Hashanah? In Jewish tradition the moon is a symbol of the Messiah. And the fact that the lunar eclipse which shall be seen from Israel happens to fall on the Feast of Trumpets during which Jews expectantly wait for their Messiah's (first) coming is prophetically significant, and serves as a reminder to Israel that they despised and rejected the true Messiah (Isaiah 53), and that they need to turn to Him for repentance before they will find deliverance.

Some believe that possibly the rapture of the Church may occur during the Feast of Trumpets, possibly even this year. While I wouldn't be daring enough to speculate on that, there is no doubt that the Feast of Trumpets will find its fulfilment soon in Jesus Christ. And considering the meaning of the Feast of Trumpets is to call on the Messiah for deliverance, there is no doubt it will be fulfilled soon. Those who haven't yet trusted in Jesus Christ as Saviour need to so, for "the things spoken of Christ have an end", Luke 22:37.

Terrorists struck the island resort of Bali once again, detonating two bombs in restaurants this time killing around 22 people and injuring 50. The attack comes just two weeks prior to the third anniversary of the last Bali bombing which claimed 202 lives.

Quote: ""It's a horrible scene," said the receptionist, Komang, who gave only one name. "Some people have had their heads blown off." The nationalities of the dead in both hospitals were not immediately known. The blasts came days ahead of the anniversary of the Oct. 12, 2002, twin bombings on Bali that claimed 202 lives, most of them foreign tourists. Jemaah Islamiyah has been blamed for that attack.

The previous attack which sent shockwaves around the world was blamed on Al-Qaida. But a friend of mine who now lives in Australia hinted at the possibility the attack may have been tied up with East Timor's recent declaration of independence. Roman Catholic East Timor claimed independence from Indonesia not long ago, and many Australians believe the real reason behind the goal of independence was a Vatican desire to gain control over the vast oil and gas reserves that lie off the Australian coast. Recently, those who govern the tiny island of East Timor have tried to claim a massive 50% of the oceanic resources that lie between East Timor and Australia.
