If Israel does not surrender all the lands liberated in the Six Day War of 1967, set up an Arab state with Jerusalem as its capital, and make significant concessions in accepting as citizens descendants of Arabs who fled Israel in 1948, a third intifada should, and must be conducted.

The call for a new “uprising of the people” against Israel was part of a the summation statement issued at the end of the two day Palestinian Revolutionary Council (PRC) general meeting held this week.

The meeting was led by Palestinian Authority chief and Fatah party head Mahmoud Abbas.

"God, who made the world and everything in it... is Lord of heaven and earth.... He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times. ...

 [I]in Him we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:23-26, 28
 

Russia reinserted itself into the Israeli-Palestinian "peace" process in a major way this week with a highly publicized visit by President Vladimir Putin.

While meeting with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday, Putin said that Russia had no problem recognizing an independnet Palestinian state, noting that Moscow had already done so during the days of the Soviet Union. "We [recognized Palestine] 25 years ago, and our position has not changed."

Earlier in the week, Putin met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, at which time Putin warned Israel against a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, insisting that such an endeavor would "backfire." He also urged the West, presumably including Israel, to keep its nose out of Syria's affairs.

It would appear the sleeping bear is no longer asleep.

"No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy...." Psalm 33:16-18

It's official: the Muslim Brotherhood has taken control of Egypt, or will do so in the very near future.

To the consternation of many throughout the region, Egypt's election commission on Sunday announced that Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi would be the next president of the largest and most powerful Arab state.

"An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom; and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers; and I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the Lord God of hosts. And the waters of the sea will be dried up, and the river will be dry and parched, ..."  Isaiah 19:1-25

Encouraged by apparent Muslim Brotherhood win in Egyptian election, Hamas and allied terror groups have escalated the bombardment of southern
Israel.
 

Unfortunately, the world, especially mainstream media, simply is not interested in the bombardment of Jewish population centers until either a large number of Israelis are hurt or killed, or Israeli reprisals result in large Palestinian casualties.

“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Daniel 12:1

Palestinian terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip fired more than 50 rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel on Tuesday and into Monday morning.

Eleven border policemen were wounded in one of the attacks. The attacks began during the pre-dawn hours Tuesday, and continued with a hail of rocket fire throughout the day.

The only casualties reported were from a direct missile strike on a building near the coastal town of Ashkelon, where 11 officers with Israel's Border Police suffered light-to-moderate shrapnel injuries.

The assault continued on Wednesday morning with more short-range Kassam rocket attacks and at least one medium-range Grad missile attack that targeted the town of Beersheva.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is." Mark 13:32-33

Rumors within the Islamic world report that the Pope is ready to accept Israeli law on Catholic Church properties in East Jerusalem.

Palestinian officials voiced concern about possible concessions by the Vatican ahead of talks on Tuesday between Israel and the Holy See on the status of Catholic Church property in Jerusalem, while others wondered:

What is the Vatican going to get in exchange for a recognition of Israeli laws in East Jerusalem?

Could it be the acknowledgement of a special regime to be established in the Old city?

Jesus the Messiah is not to concerned about the ongoing political wrestling. He will come back to Jerusalem, and kill the appointed fake “prince of peace”, elected by the US, EU, UN, Russia and China, the Pope, or any other global leader.

Having already won control of the Egyptian parliament, and with a good chance of putting their man in the president's chair as Egyptians go to the polls later this week, the Muslim Brotherhood is now turning its gaze on Israel.

Secular presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq warned last week that if his Muslim Brotherhood opponent, Mohammed Mursi, wins the run-off presidential vote giving the Islamists unfettered control in Egypt, conflict with Israel will be inevitable.

A prominent Egyptian cleric with ties to the Brotherhood added to those fears last week when he told a large rally that should Mursi win the election, Egypt's capital will no longer be Cairo...

it will be Jerusalem.

"On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves." Zechariah 12:3

"The biblical land of Israel is actually the land of your forefathers" Pope Benedict told the Palestinian Arabs in Bethlehem.

At the start, in the middle, and at the end of his visit – which was hosted by the State of Israel at no small expense to the taxpayers and mass disruption of Jerusalemites’ lives – the head of the Roman Catholic Church voiced his strong support for the creation of a Palestinian state on Jewish lands.

Speaking at PLO Chief and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ palace in Bethlehem, where he went to conduct a large mass, the pontiff spelled it out:

"The Holy See supports the right of your people to a sovereign Palestinian homeland in the land of your forefathers, secure and at peace with its neighbors, within internationally recognized borders."

Israelis wondered how the head of a so-called Christian Church could have so wholeheartedly swallowed the Bible-refuting lies.

A mother' son:

An Israeli soldier was killed in a shootout with a Palestinian terrorist infiltrator from Gaza Friday morning, sparking a fierce exchange that threatened to plunge the Hamas-ruled coastal strip and southern Israel into another round of widespread violence.

Early Friday morning, a team of Israeli soldiers responded to an alert that the Gaza perimeter fence had been breached. Upon arriving at the site of the breach, they were engaged by a lone Palestinian gunman, who managed to mortally wound one of the Israeli soldiers before himself being killed.

The felled Israeli soldier was identified as 21-year-old St.-Sgt. Netanel Moshiashvili.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Pray for all those in Israel  who do not YET know their Messiah.
