"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."  2 Timothy 3:13

Jewish worshippers visiting the tomb of the biblical patriarch Joseph in the Palestinian-controlled town of Nablus (Shechem) on Wednesday were shocked to find the holy site severely desecrated.

A group of some 2,500 Jewish pilgrims reported holy books at the site had been burned, furniture smashed, the smell of urine was abundant, and there was evidence of an effort to burn down the structure.

When the tomb was besieged by Palestinian mobs and an IDF soldier was killed defending the site in late 2000, Israel agreed to cede control to the Palestinian Authority with guarantees that the holy place would be protected.

"At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another." Titus 3:3

Please pray for both Jew and Muslim that all will come to know their Messiah.

More than 3,000 Palestinian teenagers have graduated from the  Hamas terror group's first high school military training program in the Gaza Strip.

The Futuwwa, or Youth, program is a weekly elective that is offered in all of Gaza's high schools. Officials say 3,600 participated in the first session, which began in September and is aimed at fostering a new generation of leaders in the struggle against Israel.

"My officer taught me the values of courage, sacrifice and love of jihad, as well as some battle tactics," said Radwan Wasfi, 15, whose black-painted face dripped with sweat after going through a drill. "I feel that I can free my energy in a good way. I can do for real what I do in video games."

“If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments, if they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments, then I will punish their transgression with the rod  and their iniquity with stripes.  But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.  My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.  His descendants shall endure forever..." Psalm 89

The European Union, the World Bank, and a host of European countries working outside the framework of the EU, have for years been funding a youth-oriented television program in the Palestinian Authority that has promoted terrorism as an ideal act of “martyrdom,” honoring terrorists whom Israel has released from prison, and glorifying acts of terror in which Israeli women and children were murdered.

The TV show has now begun a new campaign – encouraging young viewers to prepare to hijack airplanes. A poem that has been broadcast repeatedly on the program, called “Raise Your Voice,” says, among other things, that Israelis “should expect us, even though we are the unexpected. We are at all airports, aboard all planes. We stop off in Rome and Zurich, and peep out from under rocks. We hide behind statues and plants. Our brave ones attack without warning, with anger, thunder, lighting and storm. They come in the garb of the prophet and with the sword of the warrior.” The poem also threatens the U.S., saying that “a gun in the hand of the little one can kill the great one.”

The mention of Rome and Zurich in the poem – two cities where Arabs hijacked El Al planes, in 1968 and 1969 – make clear the poem's intention.

"Israel doesn't know what its own best interests are. With each new settlement announcement, Netanyahu is moving his country down a path toward near-total isolation."   Barack Hussein Obama

This coming from the man who has increased the deficit more than $4 trillion, required every individual to buy health insurance as part of his healthcare reform; manding religious employers to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions for their employees in their health insurance plan, provided guns to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the death of U.S. Border Patrol agents, signed a law allowing gays serving in the military to be open about their sexuality, enacting executive action to achieve "gun control"...

Difficult days are ahead for Israel. She will survive, but at a great cost to her land and its people.

Trouble for Israel means trouble for the United States -

"I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3

Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim.

Jerusalem of Gold became Jerusalem of White, treating local residents to a thick blanket of snow measuring well over 12 inches.

Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fouad Twal has declared that "Israel's existence as such has nothing to do with the Bible." He then compared Christians' condition in today's Jerusalem with Jesus' Passion: "We Christians never forget that even our Lord himself suffered and was mocked in Jerusalem."

Twal's position on Israel and the Bible has been embraced at the highest levels within the RCC. The Vatican synod in 2010 declared that Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people.

"We Christians cannot speak about the Promised Land for the Jewish people", the synod's document said. "There is no longer a chosen people. The concept of the promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians."

Anti-semitism?  Replacement Theology?  Ignorance and misinformation?  "We Christians?"

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."  Isaiah 53:5

"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins." Isaiah 40:2

"Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand." Isaiah 53:10

A special grove of 3,300 trees will be planted as part of a new environmental and commercial area in the southern city of Beersheva. The grove will be named in memory of the 26 children and teachers who were mercilessly gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, CT.

At least 200 rioting Palestinian Arabs rampaged through Jewish vineyards and violently attacked Jewish residents at the Samarian community of Esh Kodesh on Saturday.

After destroying much of the vineyards, the rioters came very close to entering the Jewish community. The local security team fired into the air to hold off the assault until Israeli army forces could arrive and disperse the rioters.  Twelve Jews were injured.

Who wants peace?

You decide.!!.

Agnes-Mariam de la Croix, a Syrian nun, told foreign media that in one instance a taxi driver was pulled from his vehicle by rebel fighters and beheaded, his body thrown as food to stray dogs.

The man's crime? His brother had been overhead complaining about the behavior of the rebel forces. Sister Agnes-Mariam says it was that, combined with the fact that the victim, Andrei Arbashe, was a Christian that made him a target for the rebels.

Sister Agnes-Mariam fled Syria over the summer after being warned that the rebels intended to abduct her. Since then, she has been speaking out over the atrocities committed by Syrian rebels, atrocities that are being all but ignored by the mainstream media and the Western governments supporting the Free Syria Army and its satellite groups.
