---------- Inspiration For the Week-- ""The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." Galatians 5:1
This "liberty" makes us free to heaven's charter--the Bible. Here is a choice passage, believer, "When thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee." You are free to that. Here is another: "The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee"; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith and you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father's love-token; thou art free to it at all times. Thou art also free to the throne of grace.
It is the believer's privilege to have access at all times to His heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before Him. It matters not how much we may have sinned, we may ask and expect pardon. It signifies nothing how poor we are, we may plead His promise that He will provide all things needful. We have permission to approach His throne at all times--in midnight's darkest hour, or in noontide's most burning heat. Exercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege. Thou art free to all that is treasured up in Christ--wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It matters not what thy need is, for there is fullness of supply in Christ, and it is there for thee. O what a "freedom" is thine! freedom from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven! [C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions";Emphasis added]
--------Focus: Key Doctrinal Truth----------"Anathema"
From the Greek verb anatithemi, to "lay up", anathema is found in the Greek NT in two forms, one with eta (long e) and the other with epsilon (short e) in the penult syllable. Originally, the word denoted anything laid up, or set apart, for divine service. This meaning is reflected in Luke 21:5 where it is translated "gifts". The LXX used anathema to translate the Hebrew cherem, which the AV translates as "accursed" (Josh. 6:17-18; 7:1, 11,12, 13, 15; 1 Chron 2:7); "cursed thing" (Deut 7:26; 13:17); "curse" (Josh 6:18; Isa 34:5; 43:28); "utter destruction" (Zech 14:11); and "dedicated thing" (Ezek 44:29).
While there appears to be a great breadth of meaning in cherem, all the way from "dedicated" to "accursed", the fact is that what was dedicated or devoted to holy use was off-limits for secular use. Thus, it was banned. Anyone failing to observe the ban would come under appropriate condemnation: he would be accursed. That was the meaning that attached to anathema when the LXX translators used it to translate cherem.
The NT carries on this meaning. 1 Corinthians 16:22 pronounces a curse on any who love not our Lord Jesus Christ, anathema maranatha. Elsewhere the AV translates anathema "accursed" (Rom 9:3; 1 Cor 12:3; Gal 1:8) and once "curse" (Acts 23:12). Thus, anathema signifies the utter ruin of one devoted to destruction. It is significant that this is the word Paul used in Gal 1:8-9 to condemn anyone who would "preach any other gospel" than the gospel of free, redeeming, justifying grace received by faith without the works of the law. {Alan Cairns, Dictionary of Theological Terms: Ready Reference of Over 800 Theological and Doctrinal Terms", p. 26}

Pastor's Sermons
Every single week, we have been called or emailed by some genuine Christian bereaved because their church has gone Liberal and they cannot find a suitable church within driving distance. Since so many saved people are becoming unchurched in this period of time, we feel that the time has arrived again -- as it did over 100 years ago -- for people to start home churches. Thus, we have dramatically increased our selection of Bibles and Bible study materials. We also believe we should increase our selection of good pastoral sermons. We already carry individual sermons from "Pastor Bob" , Sunday School lessons from "Director Dave", and Classic Sermons from key preachers in the Church Age. However, we are now pleased to carry sermons from Pastor Billy Crone.
For this week, we are introducing two sermons from Pastor Billy Crone of Arbuckle Community Church.
* The 10 Commandments - Created To Show Us Our Need For A Savior - Audio CD - Cassette 2-Tape Series
Did you know that God created His 10 Commandments simply to show sinful mankind their desperate need for a Savior? Attention all citizens! God is Holy and we are not. The bad news is that the penalty for our unholy behavior is not merely physical death, but eternal death in Hell. The good news is that if we acknowledge our sin, and accept Jesus' forgiveness, we can be spared the horrors of an eternal Hell.
People of God, if we are ever going to get our society back on track, we've got to remember that the purpose of the 10 Commandments was to convince us we must have a Holy Savior Who will serve as our Substitute for sin. Since no external law can change man's internal heart, we need to be pointed to Jesus through the 10 Commandments. The reason our country is headed to Hell is because too many of our citizens are telling God that is where they would like Him to go. The very fact that Americans have thrown out this signpost to Jesus tells you that our beloved nation is headed for the Abyss.
* Who Says The Bible Is God's Word? - Audio CD - Cassette 2-Tape Series
Many people are quick today to spout off bold statements that there is no way in it can be proven that the Bible really came from God. in reality it is the critic who’s “cheese has fallen out of their sandwich.” Why? Because they refuse to look at the evidence. The 10 lines of solid evidence that proves that the Bible really came from God are: 1) The Bible says so; 2) Jesus said so; 3) The Apostles said so: 4) The Early Church and Church History said so; 5)Transmission Standards say so; 6) Manuscript Data says so; 7) Archaeology says so; 8) Predictive Prophecy says so; 9) Science says so; and 10) The Nature and Scope of Data says so.
With all this overwhelming evidence from God, there is no need for you to doubt and no need for you to cave in to the false claims of the ignorant critic. We can know for sure that what we hold in our hands is indeed the Genuine Word of God! The evidence is so solid and overwhelming that you can bet your eternal soul on this Book!

* Deceived On Purpose: The New Age Implications of the Purpose-Driven Church - Cutting Edge has warned that Rick Warren's "Purpose-Driven Church" is not only part of the Apostasy foretold at the End of the Age, but is one of the 4 religious factors driving the world toward the New Age goal called a "Religious Paradigm Shift". With his New Age background, author Warren Smith had no difficulty spotting the major, serious New Age underpinnings of the "Purpose-Driven Church".
Smith is well aware of the unprecedented spiritual deception occurring right now in "Christian" religious circles; it is just as our Lord forewarned in Matthew 24:4, 11, 24. What is the bottom line warning from author Warren Smith? "Rick Warren is in the process of leading the church astray". Prayerfully read this book, for your precious eternal soul is at stake if you are part of the "Purpose-Driven Church". - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=882

The lawyer's mistakes go to jail, the doctor's mistakes go to the cemetery, but the minister's mistakes go to Hell!" America has slipped into Sodom, and Pastor John Anderson demonstrates that the current terrible lack of genuine Biblical ministry has allowed this country to become "like Sodom" -- the land "so vile in the sight of the Lord, so complete in its perversion, that GOD is His justice destroyed it by a rain of fire, as a reminder that GOD does not tolerate sin forever." Has America crossed that inevitable Judgment line with God? Now is the time for all genuine Christians to "ROAR" to the rest of the world that Eternal GOD still sits on His throne and is about to wreak Judgment on America and all of Western Society now so open to Gay - Lesbian lifestyles. Precious souls need to be saved, "snatched out of the fire". 259 pages - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=883

"For there shall arise .... false prophets... if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect [Matt 24:24]
"... that day will not come except the apostasy comes first (unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come)..." [2 Thess 2:1-3]
---------- This Weeks Hot News ---------- Weather Control and Weather Warfare - Selection of Cutting Edge Articles
I. Five Hurricanes in four weeks. What is going on, the world wants to know? Before we begin reviewing the most recent news stories on this rash of hurricanes hitting the Carribean, we would like you to read our update on Hurricane Ivan, for the information contained within this article will prepare you for the information contained in this newsletter. Our Ivan article is entitled:
"Hurricane Ivan Strikes Initially At Coastal Core Reserve Areas, Follows Core Reserves In Northeast Path, and Loops Around Key Reserve Core Area In Western Corner of North Carolina" (NEWS1960) You will not believe our maps showing the track of Ivan's eye overlaid on top of the "UN Biodiversity: Core Reserves and Corridor System" map.
It now looks certain that more than 2,000 Haitians lost their lives in the flooding that followed Tropical Storm Jeanne last weekend. A similar number drowned in floods in May, caused not by an Atlantic hurricane but simply a light rainstorm that swept away their shanty homes.bean nations and the United States.
Now, let us examine some recent news stories:
A. Haiti seems a country totally broken.
NEWS BRIEF: "Floods kill 2,000 as Haiti faces a year of disaster", independent.co.uk, 24 September 2004
"It now looks certain that more than 2,000 Haitians lost their lives in the flooding that followed Tropical Storm Jeanne last weekend. A similar number drowned in floods in May, caused not by an Atlantic hurricane but simply a light rainstorm that swept away their shanty homes ... Countries and aid organisations are now in what they call a race against time to save the lives of a quarter of a million homeless and starving Haitians who could yet face the wrath of two more storms - Karl and Lisa - swirling across the Atlantic. They have no food, no drinking water, no electricity, no shelter. Some are still living on whatever solid rooftop they could find. Efforts to get food, water, plastic sheeting, blankets and medicines to them are being hampered by remaining floodwaters or mudslides blocking the country's main north-south artery, even at the best of times a potholed two-lane road.
"Human and animal corpses drifted yesterday down the muddy river that was the main street of the north-western town of Gonaives. Many desperate residents filled buckets with the filthy brown water and said they and their children would have to drink it if no potable water arrived ... starving dogs were seen tearing at the limbs of human corpses ... the known death toll last night was around 1,100 but a further 1,250 people were missing ... While Kofi Annan, the UN secretary general, called it a 'natural disaster', the reality was that the latest flooding, as with last May's inundations in the south of the country along the border with the Dominican Republic, was largely a 'man-made catastrophe'. The relatively low death toll in the Dominican Republic last weekend, 19, told the tale. The Dominicans still have their forests."
Thus, we realize that poor management of the soil and the forests in Haiti has resulted in this kind of water devastation. For many decades now, Haitians have been systematically cutting down their forest trees to provide the charcoal with which they cooked. This kind of "human activity" is exactly what extreme environmentalists have been screaming about for decades. With most of the advanced nations of the world now accepting as gospel that Global Warming is the force causing such great and violent storms to occur, and that Global Warming is caused by "human activity", environmentalists have to be looking at Haiti as one of the primary examples of "human activity" destroying Mother Earth.
With this much devastation, you can expect turmoil in Haiti. Listen:
NEWS BRIEF: "Panic erupts in flood-ravaged Haiti: Mob attacks relief truck", CNN News, September 24, 2004
"GONAIVES, Haiti (AP) -- Survivors who were left with almost nothing after Tropical Storm Jeanne devastated this tiny town buried unclaimed corpses in mud-clogged backyards and attacked aid trucks and even neighbors bringing them food ... Hungry and thirsty survivors -- some of whom have lost entire families and everything they own -- were losing patience at the slow pace of relief. Knee-deep mud sucked up animal carcasses and sharp pieces of torn-off zinc roofs, as well as human excrement after the sanitation system was destroyed. Limes have become a hot item in the devastated city of 250,000 because people hold them to their noses to relieve the stench ... This week's floods were made far worse by massive deforestation that left surrounding valleys unable to hold the rain unleashed by some 30 hours of pounding by Jeanne ..."
"Chilean-led peacekeepers were ferrying in aid by helicopter. Relief agencies got through what they could over damaged roads. But many people, howling in hunger and anger, were turned away when supplies ran out ... On Thursday, the U.S. government said it would provide more than $2 million -- an increase from $60,000 that some criticized for its paucity. Health workers feared an outbreak of waterborne diseases."
It certainly sounds that Haiti is a country totally broken down right now. On top of this natural disaster, Haiti's new government, which was installed after an American-led "regime change" (NEWS1900), is in danger of losing control over the whole country, a disaster which will only bring more chaos and instability. It seems that the Bush Administration can overthrow a targeted regime, but cannot rebuild the country. Listen now to this political aspect of Haiti's agony right now.
NEWS BRIEF: "Haiti: Smoldering on the Edge of Chaos", Scoop New Zealand News, 24 September 2004
"Six months after the abrupt and violence-laced departure of constitutionally elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and over three months after the deployment of U.N. peacekeeping units which were hailed as an instrument for order and stability in this long-troubled Caribbean island, Haiti remains poised on the edge of chaos ... Today, ruled by a bumptious, ineffectual and illegitimate cabal whose only validity is supplied by U.S. fiat, Haiti now faces the imminent de facto reconstitution of its brutal Haitian Armed Forces (FADH) ... At the present time, the U.N. presence in Haiti is more myth than fact ... Haiti has reached a point of crisis, and decisive intervention is required if any shred of, or hope for, Haitian democracy is to be preserved."
Haiti has two strikes against her as far as the Illuminati is concerned:
1) Her inhabitants are black - there is no room in the New World Order for the black race
2) Haiti is sitting in the Caribbean, one of the most beautiful places on earth; yet, her citizens are poor, without resources, and have badly mismanaged the land. "Mother Gaia" cannot be pleased; hence, she is sending these devastating storms. As we illustrate in NEWS1960, above, the entire Environmental Extremism movement driving the "Global Warming", the Kyoto Accords, and the "Reserve and System To Protect Biodiversity" is occult; their leaders and many followers are Mother Earth worshippers who are deadly serious about "cleansing the earth" so Mother Gaia can have her "global imbalance" restored.
This wording may seem like mumbo-jumbo to you, but our global leaders believe it with all their hearts. When your scientists can create storms with HAARP and/or scalar transmissions, you have the power to bring your "earth cleansing" beliefs into reality. This fact is why HAARP expert, Jerry Smith, entitled his book, "HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy".
B. Now that Hurricane Jeanne has devastated Haiti, she has turned her sights on Florida once again.
NEWS BRIEF: "350,000 Asked to Evacuate As Jeanne Nears", My Way News, September 24, 2004
"WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Hurricane Jeanne trekked westward Friday on a path that could lead to Florida's east coast by Sunday, setting off another round of storm preparations in a state still reeling from three earlier strikes ... More than 350,000 people were asked to evacuate in three Florida counties hit hard by Frances on Sept. 5, and crews along the state's coast worked to remove debris still remaining after that storm, though some said it was a losing battle ... nearly 80 percent of debris remained from Frances, and some streets had 'debris piled up 5 to 6 feet high'."
Having debris stacked up from a former hurricane is a serious problem, because the winds from this hurricane can pick up that debris, propelling them through the air like misguided missiles. Some hurricane winds have been known to drive splinters of wood through fence posts. How much more damage could be done if a hurricane picks up more substantial rubbish sitting in piles 5-6 feet high?
"Jeanne could drop up to 10 inches of rain along its route, the weather service said, and fears of more flooding, flying debris and power outages sent shoppers scurrying to grocery and hardware stores for supplies ... The only other time four hurricanes have been known to hit the same state in one season was in Texas in 1886, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield said ... At 2 p.m., Jeanne was centered about 455 miles east of Miami, moving west at 12 mph, the hurricane center in Miami said. The storm had 100 mph wind and could strengthen as it reaches warmer water closer to Florida's coast. Hurricane-force wind extended 45 miles from the center, and tropical storm wind extended 150 miles." (Ibid.)
As you might expect, Florida citizens are reacting with disbelief and frustration:
" 'I know people are frustrated, they're tired of all this', Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday. 'Trust me, their governor is as well' ... An exasperated Margaret McFarlane of Greenacres, who was without power for 12 days after Hurricane Frances, found herself back at the store to stock up on water and food. 'We've already refilled our refrigerators, gotten the debris out of the streets and it's going to happen all over again. I'm not sure how much more people can take', she said ... Retiree Larry Ruby spent Friday morning patching holes in the roof of his mobile home on Hutchinson Island, as a bulldozer cleared Frances' debris. 'I was one of the luckier ones, but this time, who knows?' Ruby said. 'I ain't going anywhere unless they make me. I don't think you can get away from it'." (Ibid.)
The ultimate purpose is to force people to live only in certain designated areas of Florida, those indicated on the map of NEWS1368 in either Light Green or the black dots designating small cities. All the Red and Yellow areas on the map are to be emptied of human population. These are the areas these hurricanes are hitting. (Read NEWS1960 and NEWS1953 for more details)
Oh, yes, for the record: Hurricane Ivan was still thrashing around as a Tropical Storm, lashing parts of the Southwest with heavy rain. Listen:
"After looping into the Atlantic and back into the Gulf of Mexico following its initial strike on the Alabama-Florida coast as a hurricane last week, Tropical Storm Ivan washed ashore near the Texas-Louisiana line Thursday night, bringing heavy rain to both sides of the border. While the storm was expected to dissipate as it drifts into Texas this weekend, its rains are expected to persist and cause problems, and flood-prone Houston is in its projected path." (Ibid.)
Reality Mimicking The Movie, "The Day After Tomorrow"?
Since the Mother Gaia worshippers really believe that, if mankind will not take remedial action to restore "balance in nature", this Earth Goddess will keep intensifying her storms in both quantity and strength until finally she forces a "balance", what we have to fear is one day seeing a massive hurricane bearing down on us packing 300-400mph winds and massive aerial rivers of water. If that type of storm ever hit, our civilization would probably take the type of hit depicted in "The Day After Tomorrow". Remember the last line from that movie, uttered by one of the astronauts circling the earth once the Superstorm had stopped: "Look how clear the air is; I have never see air so clear".
Balance in Nature had been restored. Too bad millions had to die -- those poor people who had rejected the Kyoto Accords!
II. We may have a portion of the oft-asked question by Cutting Edge subscribers as to why so many Evangelical Christians are so terribly and stubbornly deceived about whether President Bush is a genuine Christian. A Chicago University professor has discovered that President Bush uses "Christian code words" which stimulate the minds of the Christian in a manner almost subliminal. The result is that many millions of Christians are almost invisibly drawn to supporting the President because his art of speaking has led them to believe he is genuinely Born Again.
NEWS BRIEF: "Words matter: How Bush speaks in religious code", By Bruce Lincoln, Boston Globe, September 12, 2004
"George W. Bush believes God has called him to be president. You won't hear him say so openly, of course, but he regularly conveys this to a core constituency -- the religious right ... But he has also been careful. Aware that he must appeal to the center to secure reelection, he employs double-coded signals that veil much of his religious message from outsiders. Biblical references, allusions to hymns, and specialized vocabulary are keys to this communication ..."
For generations, practitioners of the "Occult Sciences" have been taught sophisticated mind control techniques by which they could hold sway over their followers, succeed in business, and be the absolute best in winning the hearts and minds of the people with whom they came into contact or of the people whom they wanted to influence. "Double-Coded Signals" are their stock-in-trade secrets by which they accomplished this feat. During President Bush's Inaugural Address, January 20, 2001, we noted that he used an Illuminati code word (Read NEWS1464) by which he signaled fellow occultists throughout the world as to his true nature and intentions without letting anyone else in on the "little secret".
But, here, we are speaking of an entirely different kind of " double-coded signals". These type of signals are very sophisticated, undoubtedly written in advance by a speechwriter skilled in this "occult science" and then delivered by the President. Keys to delivering these hidden signals are halting speech, many pauses, a lot of repetition, and painting word pictures. With this information in mind, let us return to this Boston Globe article.
"The president learned this art when he served as his father's liaison to the religious right in 1988 .... Well-connected staff introduced him to evangelical leaders and taught him to win their trust. 'Signal early and signal often' was their motto." (Ibid.)
If the President was to successfully appeal in an almost subliminal manner to the Christian Right, he had to know their inner language, thier Biblical word pictures, and key doctrines. Notice that Bush set out to learn this "Christian Right" language in connection with his "well-connected staff". Undoubtedly, this staff included people who were expert in this "Occult Science", although a lifelong Adept in Skull & Bones like President George W. Bush can be expected to have been thoroughly trained in this fine art of controlling and manipulating people's minds. Most of our current crop of politicians are using this technique virtually everyday; President Clinton was a true master of this art, but probably not any better than Bush. Let us now return to this article for crucial information:
"Accordingly, most of Bush's speeches are discreetly larded with religious content. His seemingly secular acceptance speech at the recent Republican National Convention offers a case in point. Beyond the single paragraph on abortion, gay marriage, and "faith-based" charities, a strong religious subtext was carefully crafted to slip beneath the radar."
This phrase, "carefully crafted to slip beneath the radar" speaks clearly to the bold intent of the skilled speechwriter, to subliminally speak to the inner mind of the targetd listener -- the Born Again Christians of America. These techniques over-ride -- or perhaps slip beyond -- the conscious mind and drives powerfully into the subconscious. In Seminar 1, "America's Leadership of the New World Order", we carefully examine the subliminal techniques used daily by expert advertising firms working for key retailers and factories. We learned that their major discovery was that the Conscious Mind possessed the moral safeguards which acted as a guarded gateway, controlling which stimuli was so offensive to the mind that it needed to be stopped; however, the Subconscious Mind contained no such moral guarded gateway. Therefore, using subliminal techniques, advertisers in all Mass Media advertising are able to bypass the Conscious Mind altogether and pitch their product directly to the unguarded Subconscious Mind. We show examples of just this kind of advertising.
Let us now go back to this Boston Globe article to see which types of Biblical imagery Bush has been using on Christians for a very long time.
"Biblical references were firmly planted at the beginning and end of the speech. Early on, Bush spoke of 'hills to climb' and seeing 'the valley below', an allusion to Israel's escape from slavery and Moses' vision of the Promised Land, as described in Deuteronomy 34. Given the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous use of the same passage ('I've been to the mountaintop'), Bush thus associated himself with both King and Moses, characterizing his presidency not just as a struggle for freedom, but a religious mission with risks of martyrdom."
"In his closing paragraph, Bush quoted Ecclesiastes 3, 'To everything there is a season', but quickly departed from the Biblical text. 'A time for sadness', he began, with reference to 9/11, then 'a time for struggle' -- Afghanistan and Iraq -- and finally 'a time for rebuilding'. This pattern of loss followed by recovery recurred in passages devoted to the economy, the war against terrorism, the national mood, and the state of morality since the 1960s. In all cases, Bush described losses overcome through hope, steadfastness, and faith. Only when he reached his culminating example did he name what he saw in them all. "For as long as our country stands," he proclaimed, 'people will look to the resurrection of New York City and they will say: Here buildings fell, and here a nation rose' . Resurrection." (Ibid.)
When the President used the word, "resurrection", he hit a major mental nerve with Christians. Their subconscious minds responded positively and said, "this President is one of us -- a Born Again Christian". All the religious imagery mentioned in this above paragraph, and in the paragraphs below, did hit home in the subconscious minds of untold numbers of genuinely Born Again Christians. This linguistic hypnosis is probably the reason Bush seems to have such a stranglehold on Evangelical Christians who should be objectively judging Bush on his Spiritual Fruits, not on his rhetoric.
Returning back to this Boston Globe article, we see even more elements of religious words and symbolism, most always repeated often:
"Twelve times Bush used the phrase 'I believe', many more than any other ... repetition hammered home the crucial point: Bush is a man who believes. Two of these beliefs were meant to justify his wars as holy. 'I believe that America is called to lead the cause of freedom in a new century' - I believe freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman'."
Like he has so many times, President Bush did not say "Jesus Christ", but the clearly Masonic term, "Almighty". But, he clearly "believes". Not too long ago, I listened with horror when a Fundamental Baptist pastor stood up in his podium to announce that "All of America's wars have been just"! Not only is this most definitely not true (Seminar 2, "America Determines The Flow of History") but this war in Afghanistan and Iraq is the most unholy, Illuminist-planned imaginable! Yet, this preacher stood before his packed congregation, telling them that ALL of America's wars have been just; since the word "ALL" includes this present war, Christian men and boys in the audience feel reassured that they can morally be a part of our military machine right now, even though we are most definitely fighting to produce Antichrist.
Now, let us return for our final insight from this Boston Globe article:
"In the course of his speech, the president thus suggested he is a pious man, called to lead a righteous nation. Like the nation itself, he is committed to a sacred cause and is guided in all things by his Christian faith. His sole concern in Iraq -- so he insists -- is to spread freedom, and in doing this he serves the Almighty. If you heard that and can accept it, it must be terribly reassuring. Rather less comforting is the realization that Bush is selling his dubious war to the base he has skillfully courted for years, which he knows to be credulous, fiercely patriotic, and enormously loyal." (Ibid.)
This type of skilled speech literally hypnotizes its audience. It is an Occult Art which has lately been given a distinctive name: Neuro-Linguistic Programming" (NLP). Believe me, this linguistic skill literally "programs" its target audience. We shall be starting a series of articles on this most powerful subject next week. As we head into this election season, understanding how you are being manipulated is critical.
But now you know on major reason why the vast majority of genuine Born Again Christians are so deceived about President Bush. However, Christians could not have been so deceived had they been following their Lord closely. Today's Christian ignores his Bible, is not taught correctly and thoroughly from the pulpit or the Sunday School class, ignores daily Bible Study and prayer, and does not vigorously apply Biblical doctrine to his/her daily life.
With this kind of spiritual weakness and lukewarmness, Christians have set themselves up for the kind of unparalleled spiritual deception of which our Lord warned in Matthew 24:24. This weak Christian faith is the reason people accept President Bush as a Christian based only on his words, ignoring his many evil spiritual fruits.
III. You know the war in Iraq is getting desperate:
A. When insurgents bent upon taking hostages boldly strike in downtown Baghdad in the middle of the day to cart off their victims.
NEWS BRIEF: "Six Egyptians, Four Iraqis Kidnapped in Iraq as Gunmen Storm Their Employers' Baghdad Office", AP Breaking News, September 24, 2004
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Gunmen abducted six Egyptians and four Iraqis working for Iraq's mobile phone company, seizing two in a bold raid on the firm's Baghdad office and the others outside the capital ... the latest in a string of kidnappings that have underscored the country's fragile security."
This type of daylight raid can only be carried out when the attackers are assured ahead of time that they will not meet up with heavily-armed local Iraqi police forces and/or paramilitary soldiers. This kind of assurance can only be achieved when the insurgents control the Iraqi police and paramilitary forces! Indeed, we saw this kind of situation repeatedly during the Vietnam war, when Vietnamese insurgents and/or North Vietnamese regulars, quietly controlled the police and armed force units in the area.
Once again, we are seeing a fragile situation getting very rocky very quickly. Two weeks ago, we noted with surprise that Rumsfeld was actually talking about "retaking the cities" we have lost to the insurgency. Last week, we noted stories which called into question whether our Coalition Forces were about to lose military and strategic control of the entire country. Now, we see the insurgency successfully mounting a daylight raid to capture 10 hostages in downtown Baghdad! Contrary to the rosy picture President Bush and his Interim Iraqi Prime Minister are trying to paint, the situation seems to be deteriorating daily.
B. When the top American military commander in the field pleads for more troops.
NEWS BRIEF: "WASHINGTON, Sept 23: Amid escalating violence in Iraq, the top US commander has acknowledged more troops are needed to secure the country before elections in January. Gen John Abizaid, head of the Central Command, said he believed the gap can be filled by Iraqi security forces, and that more international troops may be deployed to protect the UN-organized elections. But his remarks after closed door sessions with congressional armed services committee members late on Wednesday raised the prospect that the United States may have to enlarge the 140,000-member force deployed in Iraq, at least during the elections."
General Abizaid is a very smart man, or he would not have been promoted to the Head of the Central Command. Therefore, he knows that he can expect no significant reinforcements from the indigenous Iraqi forces who are operating with fear within the country right now. Both the officer corps and the enlisted ranks are riddled with men who just joined to get a paycheck, but whose hearts are in tune with the insurgency. A Cutting Edge subscriber called today to tell me about an interview he had seen on Fox News during the Noon hour. An Iraqi opposition leader was being interviewed and made the statement that not 6 people out of 1,000 consider Interim Prime Minister Allawi to be anything other than a CIA stooge. That kind of attitude does not produce an efficient, spirited, and loyal fighting force.
General Abizaid is too smart to believe otherwise; therefore, his remarks about the Iraqi reinforcements were undoubtedly motivated by election-year politics. This article then noted that another Army general had asked for many more troops.
"The issue of whether the United States has committed sufficient forces in Iraq to impose order is a touchy one for President George Bush, who has come under fire from Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry for Iraq's slide into bloodshed. Critics have charged that the US force is too small to pacify Iraq, while Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has insisted repeatedly that Gen Abizaid has been given and will be given all the forces he asks for to get the job done. Mr Rumsfeld, who was with Gen Abizaid on Wednesday, bristled when reminded that former army chief of staff Gen Eric Shinseki had warned Congress before the United States invaded Iraq that several hundred thousand troops would be needed to occupy the country." (Ibid.)
For the record, General Shinseki was removed as Army Chief of Staff very soon after he told Congress he needed upwards to 300,000 troops to do the job right.
C. When American forces turn to air power because their ground forces are either insufficient to carry the battle to the enemy or are hamstrung by agreements reached with the insurgency.
NEWS BRIEF: "US turns to air power", The Australian, September 14, 2004
"WASHINGTON: In Fallujah and other Iraqi cities not controlled by American forces, the military is turning increasingly to air power to target suspected insurgent hideouts. US officials say the tactic is effective, but it also has raised Iraqi anger over civilian casualties ... Air Force F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, as well as Navy F/A-18s flying off the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy in the Gulf, have been used in the recent attacks ... Air Force AC-130 gunships, with side-firing 105mm artillery guns, also have seen action lately."
These types of airplanes drop ordinance that is heavily tilted toward Depleted Uranium munitions, thus exploding even more D.U. in Iraq than ever before. In March, 2004, we quoted a position paper from an Indian Admiral (NEWS1907 and that Coalition Forces as of that date had expended over 4,000,000 pounds of D.U. munitions, releasing an atomicity equivalent to equal to 250,000 Nagasaki-sized bombs! Our replacement army which began fighting in Iraq in March, 2004, has now fought an increasingly bloody battle for almost 6 months, expending ammunition so rapidly that our munitions factories are finding it difficult to keep production ahead of demand.
Thus, we are killing civilians both directly and indirectly. We are killing them directly with our bombs, missiles and bullets, but indirectly through Depleted Uranium poisoning. Truly, the Cutting Edge subscriber who is a medical doctor in a foreign army and the Indian Admiral are correct when they predicted that the land of Iraq was quickly becoming uninhabitable for human beings!
Why have we lost control of these key cities? As we have explained in previous newsletters, American leaders would bring their forces up to the insurgents fighting against them, threatening to annihilate them in an all-out attack. However, at the last moment, our leaders would reach an agreement to stop the fighting and to prevent our all-out assault. We would withdraw our forces and pledge to never again enter the city if the insurgents would agree to hand control over to the local Iraqi police and paramilitary forces. In return, the insurgent fighters walk away free; of course, they show up again in less than 72 hours to wrest control of the city from the local police and paramilitary forces! Thus, American forces cannot now send troops in to defeat these insurgents; hence, we must rely upon air power.
D. When even the more peaceful, traditionally moderate Sunnni clerics begin to call for defeat of American "occupation forces".
NEWS BRIEF: "Rising call by clerics for jihad: Question is not whether but how to defeat U.S. aims", S.F. Gate, September 22, 2004
"Baghdad -- If Sunni clerics are a window into the soul of the violent resistance to U.S. aims in Iraq, the picture they reveal could not be bleaker ... for a Sunni Muslim cleric, the question is no longer whether his followers should fight the Americans -- that is a given -- but how to wage the war properly... the question is no longer whether his followers should kidnap foreigners, but which ones. 'Isn't the trucker who brings supplies for the Americans and helps the occupation also part of the occupation? I think so', said Abdul Jabbar, a member of the Association of Muslim Clerics, the country's largest Sunni religious group ... 'Jihad is a must in the religion to defend your property, your honor or your religion. How can anyone deny our right to jihad?' "
We have said from Day One of this Iraq war that one of the main purposes of the war is to set off a spark which will so anger the Muslims of the world that they will unite in global jihad against all Western forces, even though their leaders know their hordes stand no chance whatever against the vastly superior arms of the West. This strategy is known as "Blood In The Streets" and seems to be ever closer to reality.
When this Iraqi war blows up in our faces, Israel will be drawn into the fray and then the world will experience that World War III designed to produce Antichrist. Bush's intent invading Iraq was NOT to produce a military victory, or to produce a stable Muslim Democracy, but to create the spark which will ignite the entire Middle East into religious war.
E. When horrible images of Iraqi insurgents slaughtering foreigners become the best retail sellers in Baghdad.
NEWS BRIEF: "Images of horror top sellers in Baghdad's 'thieves market' ", Hindustan Times, September 21, 2004
"Hostage throat-slitting videos rub shoulders with pornography in the stalls of central Baghdad's infamous 'thieves market', as Islamic radicals immortalize their acts of terror in grisly films like Monday's beheading of a US national. The latest video, posted on Monday night on an Islamic website, showed five masked gunmen reading out their Islamic verdict against their American captive Eugene 'Jack' Armstrong and then slicing off the victim's head as he cried out in pain. Once such gory videos are posted on the Internet it does not take long for them to make their way to the packed stalls of central Baghdad's Bab al-Sharqi marketplace where consumer appetite is hungry for bloody spectacle."
Once again, this story serves to reinforce the idea we put forth in the story, above, that the general attitude amongst the Iraqi people is increasingly angry toward Americans specifically and Westerners generally. This awful blood-lust evident in the popularity of such gruesome videos showing the insurgents as the heroes and the Americans as the weak and helpless is a barometer of the general anger building in the general population.
Matters are really starting to get out of control. A story this week reported that insurgents now number 100,000 and are increasing daily. Will American forces one day look up to see a ragtag armed forces of 250,000 men heading for their position? I hope not, but when you so thoroughly anger an entire population of 25 million, this kind of scenario is not out of the question.
F. When Defense Secretary Rumsfeld states that the January election might not occur in all parts of Iraq because neither Coalition Forces nor the Interim Iraqi Government can provide adequate security.
NEWS BRIEF: "Violence 'may limit Iraqi poll' ", BBC News, 24 September 2004
"The US defence secretary has suggested Iraq may only be able to hold limited elections in January, omitting areas where violence is most severe ... Donald Rumsfeld told senators it might not be possible to conduct voting in some places targeted by militants ... Mr Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee: "Let's say you tried to have an election and you could have it in three quarters or four fifths of the country but some places you couldn't because the violence was too great ... Is it better than not having an election? You bet."
No statement could better illustrate the deteriorating security situation in
Iraq than this one. What Rumsfeld is saying here is that as much as 20-25% of
the country is in such turmoil that neither Coalition Forces nor Iraqi police
can ensure enough stability and security to hold an election. Do the American
people know that this much of the country is in such turmoil and that the insurgency
seems to have the upper hand?
An election held in only 75-80% of the country would lack credibility and would not produce the stable democracy Bush has been promising.
IV. Election News -- 2004 Presidential Campaign
John Kerry has definitely "taken the gloves" off against Bush since he hired Clinton's top political strategists to run his presidential campaign.
A. Immediately after Interim Prime Minister Allawi presented a rosy picture of conditions in Iraq, Democrat John Kerry boldly said he was deliberately painting a falsely rosy picture. We had heard that Kerry was going to "take the gloves off" since he had hired Clinton's top political strategists to run his campaign, but this rhetoric seems very bold.
NEWS BRIEF: "Kerry accuses Allawi of lying about Iraq situation", Middle East Online, 9-24-2004
"WASHINGTON - Visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi gave a rare address to a joint session of the US Congress on Thursday, vowing that Iraqi elections will go ahead in January as planned ... Speaking in English after receiving a standing ovation, Allawi told the chamber: 'We are succeeding in Iraq. It's a tough struggle with setbacks, but we are succeeding. My friends, today we are better off. You are better off. And the world is better off without Saddam Hussein. Your decision to go to war in Iraq was not an easy one, but it was the right one' ... Thank you, America."
Since this speech was carried by television, Allawi's remarks served to bolster President Bush's image amongst his key constituents. Why listen to Liberals when you can hear from the "horse's mouth" that things are going swimmingly in Iraq? However, Kerry boldly responded to set the matter straight:
"Speaking in Columbus, Ohio, shortly after Allawi's speech, Kerry said the premier was painting an unrealistically upbeat picture of the situation in his homeland. 'I think the prime minister is obviously contradicting his own statement of a few days ago where he said the terrorists are pouring into the country', Kerry said. 'The prime minister and the president are here, obviously, to put their best face on the policy'."
While Kerry did not actually use the "L" word (Lying), that is most definitely what he was accusing President Bush and Iraqi leader Allawi of doing!
B. Another news story this week indicated that Kerry's followers were loving his new anti-war stance. Evidently, these Clinton strategists decided rapidly that Bush's point of vulnerability was the Iraq War; therefore, speeches on other issues like the economy and job exportation are likely to get scarce while the war in Iraq is going to get top billing -- daily attacks against Bush's war results can probably be expected.
NEWS BRIEF: "Kerry Camp Fired Up Over New Antiwar Stance", By Patricia Wilson, Rense.com, 9-22-4
"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Reuters) - One speech may not a campaign make, but John Kerry and his top advisers are pumped up and in 'a fighting mood' after the Democratic candidate's aggressive attack on President Bush's handling of Iraq. The Massachusetts senator, lagging in opinion polls six weeks before the Nov. 2 election, seems to have kicked a habit of pulling his punches at the last minute and showed a new willingness to mix it up with his Republican rival. From a scathing address detailing Bush's 'arrogance and outright incompetence' on Iraq, to a Democratic fund-raiser and on to a morning television talk show where he charged that the president was 'in denial', Kerry seems to have found a new lease on political life. 'These guys, they've got me in a fighting mood', Kerry said to roars of approval at a reception in New York on Monday night."
Harsh attack ads have almost always proven more effective in a national campaign than a soft-sell campaign. With polls showing a continuing weakness for the President on Iraq, and with daily news stories carrying a bloody message to voters, such a turn of strategy on the part of the Kerry camp seems not only natural, but somewhat overdue.
C. Speaking of polls, did you hear the Zogby expose' that the national polls since the Republican National Convention have been deliberately skewed toward Bush?
NEWS BRIEF: "Media relying on flawed polls: Gallup and CBS/NYT skewed toward Republicans", Zogby International, (9/20/2004) "Five new national polls give two very different pictures of the presidential race. Three polls show an extremely close race; two show sizable Bush leads. While some members of the media have pointed out potential methodological reasons for this disparity, one clear explanation has gone largely unreported: both polls that show President George W. Bush with a strong lead over sampled Republicans ... the media has largely ignored both Gallup's and the CBS News/New York Times polls' over sampling of Republicans ... these polls include more Republicans in their sample than is representative of the electorate ..."
I wish I had a dollar for every time in the past 20 years I have doubted a poll being touted in a Mass Media outlet. Even though I did not know specifics, something just did not seem right about poll numbers during many elections. Now I know that polls are manipulated to get the result the pollster wants to get, so the public can be deceived once again.
Truly, my Dad was right when he said, "Figures don't lie, but liars figure".
D. Zogby says that the Presidential race is tight, just about even.
NEWS BRIEF: "Run the Numbers: A Tight Race in Every Way - A look at how the results of the latest Battleground poll by Zogby Interactive could play out on Election Day", Zogby International, (9/20/2004), The Wall Street Journal
"President Bush has picked up some more ground in his tight race against Sen. John Kerry, but there are also signs of resilience in the Kerry campaign. The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 16 battleground states shows Mr. Kerry ahead in 11 states, one state fewer than in a poll taken during the Republican convention two weeks earlier. Because Mr. Kerry's lead is thin in several states, including Florida, where the candidates remain less than a percentage point apart, the race is even closer than 11-5 state tally depicts ... there are signs that Mr. Kerry is gaining back some of the strength that was sapped during the Republican convention. In the latest poll, Mr. Kerry gained ground on the president in nine states, while Mr. Bush improved his standing in six ... Mr. Bush lost some ground in the crucial Ohio race ... Mr. Kerry's position improved a bit in Pennsylvania. That state, which had been solidly in his column before the Republican convention, gave the senator a 3.1 point lead, up from 2.8 points."
"And, Mr. Kerry has made more progress than Mr. Bush in solidifying his support in the battlegrounds that the Democrats won in 2000 ... In Maine, a Zogby telephone poll of likely voters Sept. 9 found the candidates tied; and in New York, a Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters Sept. 7-12 found the president just six points behind Mr. Kerry. A month earlier, Mr. Kerry had an 18-point lead in that poll."
Therefore, you can safely ignore those Drudge and Fox News polls showing the President ahead of Kerry by 13 percentage points!
E. While John Kerry is ratcheting up his anti-war rhetoric, one columnist believes that even Kerry cannot tell the real, dark secret about Bush's policies in Iraq.
NEWS BRIEF: "What Kerry won't tell Americans", By Richard Gwyn, The Toronto Star, September 24, 2004
"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has just taken the ultimate dare of American politics: He's started telling them the truth about Iraq. But only a part of the truth ... 'At every step of the road he (President George W. Bush) has taken the wrong turn and he has led us in the wrong direction', Kerry said in a major foreign policy speech at New York University this week. The president, had 'misled, miscalculated and mismanaged every aspect of this (Iraq) undertaking'.In Iraq, Americans were fighting 'a growing insurgency in an ever-widening war'. As a result of what was happening there, 'The world is a more dangerous place for America and Americans'. "
"All absolutely true, and well said, if very belatedly so ... But while all this and a great deal more that's now going on in Iraq is exactly as Kerry told it, he couldn't bring himself to tell it like it really is. And this is that the U.S. is facing failure in Iraq, just as it had to face it more than three decades ago in Vietnam ... During the Vietnam War, public opinion turned against the conflict once Americans realized they were sacrificing their lives in a futile mission.
"This time, although far less confidently than at its start, public opinion still supports the war in Iraq. The reason is that Americans remain convinced that cost of a withdrawal would be an increase in attacks upon them in their own homeland. Until that attitude changes, Kerry cannot tell his voters the truth — that they've lost the war and the sooner they turn their backs on it, the better. So he tells them only part of the truth."
If the daily news from the Iraqi battlefield becomes a dreary tale of bloodshed and woe, President Bush's poll numbers could just begin to slip. In fact, an article from Zogby last week foresaw that Bush's popularity could slip as much as 1.5 percentage points in September and another 1.5 percentage points in October. That slip of 3 points could make the difference in the election
Election Bottom Line
Again we reiterate: we realize it does not matter one whit who wins this election, whether it be Skull & Bones Bush or Skull & Bones Kerry. Either way, the Plan of the Illuminati continues to move forward without interruption or modification. Bible prophecy awaits to be fulfilled through the Illuminati Plan, no matter which man is at the helm. We at Cutting Edge will vote for neither candidate, but will vote for State and Local issues.
Because Kerry and Bush are two identical peas in a pod, we do not care which one takes the election.
V. As Israeli Prime Minister Sharon continued to move inexorably toward "unilateral disengagement", Israel sounded like a country which might come apart at the seams once this pullout begins.
NEWS BRIEF: "Settler leaders say plebiscite only solution to prevent civil war", MAARIV, 21 September 2004
" 'Wake up, we are nearing civil war. A plebiscite is in order', Yesha Council leaders tell Public Security Minister Ezra. Leaders of the Settlers’ Council have once again used the threat of civil war ahead of the expected withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria under the framework of the disengagement plan ... The settlers alerted the minister that the situation is nearing a boiling point, as incitement against Prime Minister Sharon and head of the Disengagement Authority Yonatan Basi is escalating. According to the council leaders, the only solution that would prevent a civil war is a national referendum to be carried out as soon as possible. "
"Council member Moshe Yogev said, 'The king is naked, the prime minister is leading us down the path of civil war. If he is allowed to take a bulldozer and ruin the Torah study center, which was built in [the Gaza settlement of] Atzmona in the memory of my parents, I am allowed to take a bulldozer and head towards the Sycamore Ranch (Sharon’s private residence)'. "
Settlers are absolutely beside themselves over Sharon's unbelievable reversal of a lifetime of Conservative policies in this seemingly mad dash to pull Israeli forces and all Jewish citizens out of the Gaza Strip and portions of the West Bank. Israeli voters elected Sharon to make sure that "Liberal" policies of appeasement would never be carried out. What did they get? They got a Sharon who slowly, inexorably, began to move Israel into the "Liberal" position demanded by the Oslo Accords from the very beginning in 1993!
We detail this sorry story in NEWS1911, "Proofs of A Conspiracy: Oslo Accords Were Originally Designed In 1993 To Give Large Chunks of Israel Back to The Palestinians -- Exactly Where 'Hardliner' Sharon Is Heading Now". In other words, "Conservative" Prime Minister Sharon (Former Army General) is leading Israel precisely toward the goal envisioned by "Liberals" Yitzak Rabin and Shimon Peres. Therefore, we see a plan going forward through all prime ministers from Rabin through Sharon, being steadily implemented by whomever was prime minister at the time, and no matter which party he was leading. This progress of a plan through many changes of ministers has always been the classic definition and evidence of a high-level conspiracy -- a definition coined by none other than President Jefferson.
"... a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery." [President Thomas Jefferson, quoted in "The Unseen Hand", by A. Ralph Epperson, p. 196]
Now, the only question remaining is whether Israel can complete the unilateral disengagement efficiently enough and quickly enough to avoid a civil war. Polls generally have reported that Sharon enjoys extremely heavy support for his plan from the general population. The only people who want to fight about this withdrawal seem to be the settlers. What is the best way to move the settlers without giving them the time or the opportunity to turn the situation into civil war? It seems to me that several elements would be required to accomplish this withdrawal without civil war.
1. Employ a highly professional force of men to physically move the settlers - The IDF has been chosen for this task
2. Thoroughly prepare the IDF to move the settlers quickly and humanely - The IDF has been specially trained in the tactics to be used
3. Overwhelm the settlers with these professional men - Sharon is prepared to commit 112,500 soldiers to move 8,500 settlers
My sense is that, if the unilateral disengagement operation is carried out according to these principles, Sharon will get his withdrawal without a civil war.
VI. The propaganda drum began to beat this week, warning -- worrying -- that Jewish extremists were planning to blow up the Temple Mount. The greatest surprise is that both Arabs and Jews were worried about the same group of "Jewish extremists". In fact, Arab and Jewish media outlets ran the same article by a Jewish journalist who obviously does not believe that any of his Jewish heritage is true. What was interesting is that this same article was given two different titles!
NEWS BRIEF: "The Al-Aqsa Mosque Bombers", by Uri Avnery, Al-Jazeerah, September 20, 2004 - Daily News Updates, September 22, 2004
NEWS BRIEF: "The Temple Mount Bombers", by Uri Avnery, Media Monitors, Sunday 19 September 2004 - Daily News Updates, September 22, 2004
"Muslims all over the world consider Al-Aqsa Mosque as the third holiest Islamic shrine after those of Makkah and Medina. Jews call the mountain where Al-Aqsa Mosque has been built on as the Temple Mount. The Security Service is haunted by a terrible fear: that another Israeli Prime Minister will be assassinated. The extreme right-wing, which does not hide its admiration for Yigal Amir and his deed, harbors some who dream of a similar action. After all, if Amir succeeded in murdering the Oslo process, why shouldn’t another Amir succeed in murdering the process of dismantling the settlements in the Gaza Strip?
"But the Security Service also entertains an even greater fear: that a Jewish terror group will bomb the mosques on the Temple Mount. Years ago, a Jewish underground organization was preparing to do exactly that. It was uncovered before it could carry out its plans. Now similar plots are afoot. The Security Service believes that this action is intended to put an end to Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan. Bombing the al-Aqsa Mosque and/or the Dome of the Rock would inflame the whole Arab and Muslim world. It would cause profound upheavals, bring down Arab regimes, perhaps ignite a fundamentalist revolution throughout the region. In such a situation, who would think about evacuating settlements?"
This is the Arab point of view, enunciated by a Liberal Jewish journalist. Arabs have always been hysterically beating their breasts about a supposed "Zionist conspiracy" to blow up the Dome of the Rock so the long-awaited Jewish Messiah can arise to rebuild Solomon's Temple. This rhetoric has gotten so heated that Secular Jews and the Israeli government have gone to great lengths to ensure that no one -- Jewish or Muslim -- touches the Dome of the Rock. Every sensible person realizes that, no matter who was really behind the scheme to destroy that temple, the Arabs would blame the Jews and all-out regional war would erupt with a fury unimaginable.
Now, why would Arabs and Jews take the same article by Uri Avnery, give it different titles, and then disseminate it to their respective audiences? I am not sure of the exact reason, except to realize that a propaganda effort is underway in both camps, with the Dome of the Rock (Al-Aqsa) being used to inflame people in both camps. Several things can be absolutely certain:
1. All-out war would erupt the second the Dome of the Rock comes down. Arabs would blame Jews, no matter what.
2. Conservative and Orthodox Jews want this Muslim "false temple" to come down so their Messiah can rebuild the temple of Solomon.
3. Global and Israeli Freemasons want the Dome of the Rock to come down so they can erect a new one in the likeness of Solomon's Temple for their planned superman Christ -- a man whom the Bible calls Antichrist (Read NEWS1643), "Fervent Masonic Desire To Rebuild Solomon's Temple Is The Driving Force Behind The Events of the Mid-East Today. Once Completed, End Times Prophecy Will Be Fulfilled!"]
4. Some Arabs want the Dome of the rock (Al-Aqsa) to come down, not because they hate Islam, but because they feel that this destruction would be the only event which would unite all the Muslims throughout the world. You see, some Arab leaders have convinced themselves that the only reason Arab nations have never been able to defeat Israel is because they were never united. Certainly, the destruction of this Muslim temple would produce that kind of unity.
Therefore, it should not surprise you that Yassir Arafat -- controlled by the Illuminati -- is planning to blow up Al-Aqsa with his own men, simply to so infuriate all Muslims throughout the world so that they will march at one against Jerusalem. Surely, 1.4 billion Muslims can defeat 6.8 million Jews, right? Read NEWS1404, "Arafat's Blunder On CNN May Be Revealed An Arab Plot To Ignite The Middle East Conflagration By Bombing Their Own Holy Places!"
As you can see, the cauldron is boiling in both Israel and Iraq. At any time, the spark to ignite it could fly, at the right time to fulfill all God's prophecies, beginning with those in Zechariah 12.

Once you understand how very pagan America and the rest of the Western world has become, you can see how God's judgment cannot be far behind. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1796.cfm
* "TRIPLE TERRORIST TRAGEDIES PROPEL
RUSSIA INTO "HER OWN 9/11"! Once we understand this
term thoroughly, we will see that these tragedies seem to be propelling Russia's
President Putin into the same domestic and foreign policy path which President
Bush followed after our "9/11". The main questions are: 1) Is there
any evidence these tragedies were carried out by Russian "government
provocateurs"? 2) Will Russia clamp down internally as Bush/Ashcroft
did with Patriot Acts I and II? 3) Will Russia invade the Muslim country blamed
for these attacks? - http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1959.cfm

CHRISTIANS VOTE?" Since both President Bush and Candidate
Kerry are lifelong adepts in the Black Magick Masonic secret society, Skull
& Bones, we know their goals, values, and policies will be identical.
America has been ruled by an invisible single party government for over 80
years! - http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1958.cfm

---------Conclusion----------------"Accepted in the beloved." Ephesians 1:6
What a state of privilege! It includes our justification before God, but the term acceptance" in the Greek means more than that. It signifies that we are the objects of divine complacence, nay, even of divine delight. How marvellous that we, worms, mortals, sinners, should be the objects of divine love! But it is only "in the beloved." Some Christians seem to be accepted in their own experience, at least, that is their apprehension. When their spirit is lively, and their hopes bright, they think God accepts them, for they feel so high, so heavenly-minded, so drawn above the earth! But when their souls cleave to the dust, they are the victims of the fear that they are no longer accepted. If they could but see that all their high joys do not exalt them, and all their low despondencies do not really depress them in their Father's sight, but that they stand accepted in One who never alters, in One who is always the beloved of God, always perfect, always without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, how much happier they would be, and how much more they would honour the Saviour! Rejoice then, believer, in this: thou art accepted "in the beloved." Thou lookest within, and thou sayest, "There is nothing acceptable here!" But look at Christ, and see if there is not everything acceptable there.
Thy sins trouble thee; but God has cast thy sins behind His back, and thou art accepted in the Righteous One. Thou hast to fight with corruption, and to wrestle with temptation, but thou art already accepted in Him who has overcome the powers of evil. The devil tempts thee; be of good cheer, he cannot destroy thee, for thou art accepted in Him who has broken Satan's head. Know by full assurance thy glorious standing. Even glorified souls are not more accepted than thou art. They are only accepted in heaven "in the beloved," and thou art even now accepted in Christ after the same manner. [C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions]
