Israeli self-debasement is between her and her God!
Israel is absolutely the apple of the eye of the true God,
And any self debasement by Israel should to be to her God,
Not to America, France Or Any Of The MANY Gentile Countries!
A time is coming when Israel will debase herself before Messiah
In a vast Negev Wilderness, but that is between her and Messiah,
And I stand with Israel on her decisions to keep Land God Gave Her!
The following events will soon be experienced between Israel and Foes,
And I intend by the grace of God to support God’s apple and not her Foes!
And America Would Be Well Advised To Have THE SAME Attitude Toward Her!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR 35 YEARS FOR INDICATORS THAT MIGHT INDICATE THE END OF THE GENTILE AGE WAS DEFINITELY IN SIGHT. FOR BETTER OR WORSE, I NOW BELIEVE THE FINAL WAR OF THE AGE OF THE GENTILES WILL START AT SOME POINT IN TIME BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015.
I HAVE BELIEVED THE FOLLOWING SERIES OF EVENTS WERE SURELY EVENTS THAT HAD TO COME TO PASS EVENTUALLY. THE SCRIPTURES SAY THEY WILL, BUT THEY DON’T GIVE A PRECISE TIME FOR THEIR FULFILLMENT, ONLY A SET OF THINGS THAT WILL LET THE READER KNOW THEIR COMING IS DRAWING “NIGH.” I AM CERTAIN THEY ARE DRAWING “NIGH.” I AM OF THE OPINION WE WILL SEE THE EVENTS BEGIN AT SOME POINT IN TIME WHICH WILL BE MARKED BY A MAJOR WAR BREAKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE ISLAMIC NATIONS. I BELIEVE THE WAR WILL BEGIN AT SOME POINT IN TIME BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015. THE OUTBREAK OF THE WAR AND AN INITIAL TECTONIC SHIFT OF THE PLATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST WILL OCCUR VERY CLOSE TOGETHER.
ISLAMIC FORCES ATTACK ISRAEL
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
ISRAEL WITHDRAWS INTO HER WAR CONTINGENCY AREA
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
GOD BEGINS TO PUNISH WORLD INHABITANTS WITH HIS CREATION
Isaiah 26:20,21 – Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Isaiah 24:17-21 – Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. [18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. [19] The earth is utterly broken down, the earth
is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. [20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
ISRAEL CALLS ON THE NAME OF THEIR LORD
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
GOD BEGINS TO DELIVER THE NATION OF ISRAEL
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
RAPTURE OCCURS AS LAST IN A SERIES OF SEVEN TRUMPETS SOUNDS
Isaiah 26:19 – Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
ALL THE SAVED ARE JUDGED IN HEAVEN AFTER BEING RAPTURED
Revelation 11:15,18 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
ARMAGEDDON BEGINS ON EARTH TO DESTROY THOSE DESTROYING IT
Revelation 16:16-19 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
ARMAGEDDON ENDS AT SECOND ADVENT
Luke 21:25-27 – 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; [26] 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. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name
one.
DEAD BODIES ARE BURIED AFTER SECOND ADVENT IN MILLENNIUM
Ezekiel 39:12-29 – And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. [13] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
[14] And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. [15] And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. [16] And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. [17] And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. [18] Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. [19] And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. [20] Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God. [21] And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. [22] So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. [23] And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. [24] According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
[25] Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; [26] After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. [27] When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; [28] Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
[29] Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Revelation 20:4,5 – 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 y ears.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post
Another Tack: In the footsteps of Sam Lewis’s suck-ups
July 9, 2009
Sarah Honig , THE JERUSALEM POST
Sometime at the very start of 1982 I attended a function at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, which would have been entirely forgettable except that rarely was I since as nauseated as then. I came away revolted by the spectacle of my Israeli colleagues eagerly milling around ambassador Sam Lewis, seeking his attention and trying to outdo each other in heaping mockery and contempt on their own prime minister.
Brutal jokes at Menachem Begin’s expense came fast and furious. Lewis visibly appreciated them and laughed condescendingly.
It was one of the sorriest displays of Israeli self-debasement I had until then witnessed.
But in time I came to regard it as typical of the fawning eagerness to curry favor with foreign bigwigs. Kowtowing to the exceedingly well-connected and widely-courted Lewis wasn’t merely ingratiating.
It also served the local Left’s visceral anti-Begin politics. Undisguised American displeasure with him seemed a serendipitous source of support.
It was after Begin had serially disobeyed Washington.
First he dared destroy the Iraqi nuclear reactor. Though America should have thanked Israel for the service, secretary of defense Caspar Weinberger (to my shame a distant relative of my father’s) was livid. Hence previously contracted delivery of fighters was “suspended.” Later the IAF bombed the PLO’s Beirut headquarters and more aircraft deliveries were put on hold. Then the bill extending Israeli law to the Golan Heights was enacted. The US responded by reassessing its strategic cooperation agreement.
Begin decided not to take his lumps. He summoned Lewis and subjected him to the most undiplomatic dressing-down any US diplomat probably ever received from an ally. Begin bristled at the very notion of American diktats. “Are we a vassal state?” he demanded, and went on to stress that Israel is neither a banana republic nor a bunch of “14-year-old boys who have to have their knuckles slapped” for misbehavior.
Begin was on a roll. He told Lewis that Israel wouldn’t be intimidated by threats of punishment and that they would fall on deaf ears. He vowed not to allow “the sword of Damocles to hang over Israel’s head… Jews had survived without a strategic cooperation memorandum with America for 3,700 years, and can live without it for another 3,700 years.”
The Golan legislation, Begin stressed, wouldn’t be annulled.
This earful was immediately released verbatim by the Prime Minister’s Office for publication, so the populace would know its government drew red lines and stood by them.
However, Israel’s left-dominated media never lost an opportunity to lay bare its obsequiousness. It reacted with the shock of a stern cleric to outright unpardonable blasphemy. But more than it was genuinely upset, it exploited Begin’s candid indignation as yet another pretext to pillory him. National pride was already then perceived as reactionary and uncool, especially when it clashed with post-Zionist dogma.
HOW LIKE the reaction by most of our subservient scribblers and talking heads to French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s unsolicited recommendation that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu kick out Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and replace him with Tzipi Livni. No matter whether we like or dislike Lieberman, it’s at instances like these that no consideration ought to feature in our internal discourse other than national pride.
Put in the context of Sarkozy’s infamous big mouth, his insolence toward Lieberman is no big deal. Sarkozy apparently appointed himself freelance caustic critic of far more prominent figures on the world stage than our foreign minister. The meek retort by Netanyahu – the ostensible heir to Begin’s mantle – is of greater concern. Yet most disconcerting of all is the alacrity with which current Israeli commentators – fully in the footsteps of Sam Lewis’s suck-ups of yesteryear – seize with alacrity any chance to further their agenda. In some cases the triumphant gloating at Lieberman’s humiliation was tangible.
To that end it was excusable to portray Sarkozy’s scorn as gospel.
Such glee is nowadays frequently afforded our pundits, including many employees at the state’s own broadcasting authority – the one involuntarily subsidized by you and me. Not a day goes by without some pronouncement from the Obama court about how Israel must comply with Washington’s decree to cease all “construction in the settlements,” including in much of Jerusalem.
Netanyahu’s response – on those rare occasions when any at all is heard – is as wan as it was in Paris. He appears timid and wishy-washy. His heart is in the right place, but he is too nervous to utter a fitting rejoinder. Trepidation may be embellished as signifying prudent restraint, as not breaching diplomatic protocol Begin-style, as keeping a cool head and, calculatingly, a tight lip.
Ah, if it were only so.
Unfortunately there’s too much cause to suspect that Netanyahu is irresolute. He may not quake in his boots, but he is too insecure vis-a-vis Obama’s barefaced arrogance and Israel’ s own homegrown heckler
s. Netanyahu’s passivity would be bad enough were this a fixed nonfluctuating situation. The problem is that it isn’t.
The more Netanyahu consents to taking it on the chin, the more audacious Obama gets and the more any head of government anywhere feels empowered to chime in and add his/her two cents’ worth. Even the relatively friendly Angela Merkel and Silvio Berlusconi couldn’t resist getting in on the act. Obama strikes the tone, while others sing along and relish harmony at Israel’s expense.
As the British government teeter-totters on the brink of collapse, its headliners appear united solely by their obsession with 50 housing units in the Jerusalem suburb of Geva Binyamin (a.k.a Adam), five kilometers northeast of Israel’s capital. It boggles the mind to think that world stability hinges on the project not being completed.
Nevertheless this is the consistent international de rigueur mantra.
It is what non-too-impartial NGOs abroad haughtily hector. It is what a slew of accomplice “peace-promoting” local NGOs (which derive their funding from European and other less-than-friendly overseas benefactors) trendily reiterate. It is what the Israeli coterie of tendentious left-wing news purveyors unquestioningly chants.
Under these circumstances, the pushy presumptuousness toward Israel becomes inevitable. Israel earned the disdain it encounters everywhere. Foreign governments take liberties against Israeli sovereignty that would be inconceivable against any other independent country. It’s doubtful any other state anywhere would be treated with similar disrespect, not just by inimical leaders like Obama, but even by emissaries like George Mitchell. Ours is to do their bidding even at our palpable peril.
The more Netanyahu delays forthrightly defying such international chutzpa, the more he invites it. There are times when seemly circumspection is contraindicated.
Begin by now would have called the American ambassador to order and sent an unequivocal message to said ambassador’s boss, even at the risk of local sycophants rushing to brownnose the latter-day Sam Lewis.
