Shiites observe Ashura holy day, suicide bomber hits believers in Iraq
Members of the Muslim sect engage in self cutting, flagellation, throughout middle east; worshippers killed in Iraq after targeted bombing; Nasrallah makes rare public appearance in honor of holy day

Shiites celebrated Ashura, a holy day commemorating the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Prophet Mohammad who was killed in the seventh century battle of Karbala, a city in present-day Iraq. Nowadays, Ashura attracts hundreds of thousands of Shiites to holy sites across Iraq.
Ashura began at sundown on Wednesday. It is observed every year over a 10-day period. Worshippers show their faith by cutting themselves with swords and knives, and ritually whipping their bodies with chains and knives in grief, drenching themselves in blood.

As worshippers went through the somber rituals, a suicide attacker and twin blasts Thursday targeted Shiites marking the occassion in Iraq, killing at least 41 people and wounding more than 100, officials said.
The Ashura holy day has been marred previously by massive attacks by al-Qaeda and other Sunni extremists who see Shiites as heretics. This year, the attacks come amid an escalating campaign of violence by insurgents seeking to thwart the Shiite-led government’s efforts to maintain security.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, made a rare public appearance, showing up in a giant hall south of Beirut to attend a Shiite Ashura ceremony. Nasrallah has made few public appearances since his group fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006 for fear of assassination by Israel.
The black-turbaned Shiite cleric said late Wednesday that his arch-enemy Israel is happy to see Sunni and Shiite Muslims killing each other.

Al Maliki to remain in office

Dubai: Iraq’s beleaguered Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki will stay on, his spokesman said on Saturday, despite the growing dissent within his government and a wave of American reports that have questioned his ability to rule.
US President George W. Bush, meanwhile, refused to consider early troop reductions, saying new offensives in the war-torn nation were just in their “early stages”.
Al Maliki’s spokesman, Ali Al Dabbagh, brushed aside a sombre report presented earlier by the US intelligence community, which said “Iraqi political leaders remain unable to govern effectively” and sectarian violence “probably will intensify.”
“This government was elected by millions of Iraqis in a democratic process. It is not up to the Americans to change the Prime Minister,” Al Dabbagh told Gulf News by telephone from Baghdad.
However, he admitted there were “many truths” in the report but said it was because government efforts are being challenged by “terrorist groups.”
Bush, in his weekly radio address yesterday, said the war against Al Qaida in Iraq was just beginning and asked for patience.
“We cannot expect the new strategy we are carrying out to bring success overnight. But by standing with Iraqis as they build their democracy, we will deliver a devastating blow to Al Qaida.”
ARCHIVE RAPTURE UPDATE 144A
SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 144A
November 1, 2003
Groundwork for the Many Rapture Positions
When was the Groundwork Laid for them?
When I worked as a meteorologist in England for three years in the late fifties and sixties, I discovered it to be the land of many ancient writings. The Commentary by Theodore Beza, in the 1599 Geneva Study Bible, said the three “he’s” in Daniel 9:27 were the Messiah, Jesus Christ, rather than antichrist, which reflects the view of the preachers from the first books ever published, and this belief was the majority opinion up to 1900.
The basic groundwork for the many different rapture positions was spaded up by the attacks of the Protestant Reformers on doctrines of the massive Catholic Church. They were so disgusted with most of its teachings, that many proclaimed the Catholic Church itself to be the antichrist prophesied by Daniel and John the Apostle to come in the latter days. Many believed they were living in the latter days. When the Catholic Church met at the Council of Trent in the fifteen hundreds, the bulk of the discussions centered around how to restore credibility to its tarnished authority among the masses by losing its accused position of being the antichrist. One of the ways it lost its undesirable title was through the publication of a commentary on the book of Revelation in 1690 by a Jesuit priest named Francisco
He is the father of what came to be known as the “futurism” approach to prophetic interpretation. He introduced the idea that the prophecies in the book of Daniel, and the book of Revelation, did not apply to the church, but were only focused on the final seven years of this age. He did not believe in a rapture at the beginning of the seven years, nor did he divide it into two periods of three and one half years. He said the Bible’s warning about the antichrist could not possibly apply to the Catholic Church, but only predicted the appearance of a very evil man who would govern during earth’s final years. John Darby is often identified as the first to teach the rapture doctrine, but Morgan Edwards was teaching it in 1742, some 58 years before John Darby was born into the world. But John Darby, who was an Irish lawyer and Anglican preacher, did develop the method of Biblical teaching in which he included the futuristic views of Ribera. He was the first to fully describe a rapture seven years before the Second Advent of Christ, in which Christ came in the air, viewed only by the saved he came to take out, and left the lost behind to be ruled by an evil antichrist for a period of seven years. John Darby is also the man who created many of the first diagrams commonly associate with the seven-year pre-tribulation rapture position. But Morgan Edwards taught only 1260 days of tribulation remained, and that the rapture occurred when it began, 1260 days before Armageddon.
So, in reality, he was not a “first of the weeker,” but what one would call a “mid-tribber” today. Clarence Larkin, a skilled master diagram artist of the World War I era, created the most elaborate series of diagrams and charts on the pre-tribulation rapture up to that time, and most of today’s branch off from his in one way or another.
As far as the first person to ever venture away from a rapture prior to the seven vials of wrath or the absolute end of the tribulation period, I have found no one before Morgan Edwards in 1742 during my research.
You will find more historical information on the rapture, and the view I hold, in Prophecy Updates 73D, 74A, 82A, and 114A.
