Pray for Peace,

JERUSALEM REPORT
From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team


Dear John,

Time is running out for Iran to avoid sanctions over its nuclear program, Reuters News Agency quoted White House spokesman Robert Gibbs as saying. He added that Tehran's deadline is still the end of the year for responding to international demands.

Iran has ignored a deal offered by the Western powers that would have Iran sending its low-enriched uranium abroad for processing into uranium for making fuel. Gibbs said it was "pretty clear" that the Iranians were backing out of that agreement. The White House comments came a day after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that his country will enrich uranium at a much higher level--a fresh rejection of an international plan to curb Tehran's nuclear program.

We are approaching a crisis point in dealing with Iran. I urgently ask you to join with me in prayer that this great evil will be halted and that Israel will be spared the incredible human and financial cost of having to go to war to stop it.

How sad it is that these rumblings of war come at what should be a time of peace! For many in Israel, especially the children, peace is only a distant dream.

I will never forget as a poor Jewish child in America what it was like to scavenge for food in dumpsters and never having enough to eat. This is the daily reality of life in Ashkelon for hundreds of children. They go to bed hungry many nights. They shiver in the winter because their parents cannot afford to heat their homes. They have no expectation of receiving presents this year for Chanukah. What should be a happy and joyous time is instead just another day to do without.

I will also never forget when my aunt took me to my first Chanukah party. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven! Seeing the gifts and all the food was a wonderful treat. And we can provide that same experience to the poor children of Ashkelon. The Jerusalem Prayer Team is helping a very special family host a Chanukah party just for these needy children.

On my last trip to Israel I met again with the Cohen family...a family that has suffered so much at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists...and yet who nevertheless live with joy instead of bitterness and are focused on helping others. Let me share their story with you. The children were blown up on their school bus.

Tehilla Cohen lost both her legs when her school bus was destroyed by a suicide bomber near her family's home in Israel. The devastating attack stole so much away from this precious young lady...and yet her spirit never wavered. When I heard this young lady's story, I knew we had to help.

So the Jerusalem Prayer Team furnished her with a special motorized wheelchair which allowed her to regain much of her independence of motion. After many surgeries and extensive physical therapy, she was able to return to school, and now has graduated and is preparing for college.

When I met with Tehilla, she asked me to thank the members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team who have helped her so much. And she asked for our help again--not for herself, but for the poor children who live in her community who are facing the upcoming Chanukah holiday without the hope of the presents that most children are expecting.

Thank you to the 105 Jerusalem Prayer Team members who have already responded as we work to reach our goal of 2000 sponsors to provide a truly meaningful Chanukah to these precious children.

CHANUKAH IS ONLY 5 DAYS AWAY. PLEASE, PLEASE SEND YOUR GIFT FOR THE POOR CHILDREN RIGHT NOW .... "IF YOU DO IT UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME."

Send Your Gift Today to Help These Poor Children: https://www.donation-net.net/CTBF/donate.cfm?dn=1032&commID=131593322&ID=211981

Chanukah is a wonderful celebration of God's deliverance of His people and His miraculous provision of their needs. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday commemorates the freeing of Jerusalem from captivity and the cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem. When the invaders were driven away, only enough consecrated oil to light the candlestick for one day was found, but miraculously the lamps burned for eight full days until new oil could be made.

Chanukah starts this year on Saturday, December 12th. That means we have just five days left to provide the Chanukah party that will turn this into a season of hope. Send your gift today to make Chanukah a happy and joyous time for the children of Ashkelon and their families. They have suffered so much, enduring terrorist attacks and rockets fired into their schoolyards. They do without, going to bed hungry many nights.

MAKE THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS SHINE BRIGHT FOR THESE POOR CHILDREN: https://www.donation-net.net/CTBF/donate.cfm?dn=1032&commID=131593322&ID=211981

Your gift will provide food and toys and clothing and games--the same things our children and grandchildren look forward to at Christmastime. We can do this together.

Jesus said we should let the little children come to Him...and that's what your gift today will do. We have a wonderful opportunity to show the people of Ashkelon that Christians love and care for them. They are besieged on every side, living every day with threats we can hardly imagine. They need the brightness of hope.

Rush your special Chanukah gift today and help make the Festival of Lights much brighter for these precious children.

Your Ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans

Drybones: Bibi Verses the Iceman!

Bibi Versus The Iceman

I thought that I'd draw Obama and Bibi Netanyahu as battling SuperHeroes, but they came out looking like a pair of phony costumed TV wrestlers putting on a show!

* * * The Arab-Israeli conflict will end when the Arab states accept the existence of a Jewish State in the region as natural. Political correctness requires that we ignore this obvious truth and pretend that the problem is simply a border dispute between "Palestinians" and Israelis.

Iran approves 10 new enrichment sites

Is any one really surprised?

From the Jerusalem Post:

http://www.jpost.com/

Iran approves 10 new enrichment sites

The Iranian government approved a plan Sunday to build 10 new uranium enrichment facilities, a dramatic expansion in defiance of UN demands it halt the program.

The decision came only days after the UN nuclear watchdog agency censured Iran over its program , demanding it immediately stop building a newly revealed enrichment facility near the holy city of Qom and freeze all uranium enrichment activities.

A Cabinet meeting headed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to begin building five uranium enrichment sites that have already been studied and propose five other locations for future construction within two months.

In Vienna, spokeswoman Gillian Tudor said the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency would have no comment, but the announcement is likely to stoke already high tensions between Iran and the West over its controversial nuclear activities.

* Teheran threatens to cut ties with IAEA
* United States and Israel commend IAEA censure of Iran
* Analysis: Dangerously misreading Iran

Iran has one industrial-scale uranium enrichment plant near Natanz, in central Iran. The IAEA said earlier this month that about 8,600 centrifuges had been set up in Natanz, but only about 4,000 were enriching uranium. The facility will eventually house 54,000 centrifuges.

The newly revealed enrichment site, known as Fordo, is a small scale site that will house nearly 3,000 centrifuges.

IRNA said the Cabinet ordered that the 10 new sites have a scale equal to Natanz's.

Under Iranian law, Iran's nuclear agency has been tasked with providing 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power plants during in the next 20 years. IRNA said the country needs to build enrichment facilities to produce nuclear fuel for its future power plants.

Ahmadinejad told the Cabinet that Iran will need to install 500,000 centrifuges throughout the planned enrichment facilities to produce between 250 to 300 tons of fuel annually.

Also Sunday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani issued a warning of his own that Teheran may cut cooperation with the UN nuclear agency watchdog.

"If the West continues to pressure us, then parliament can review Iran's cooperation level with the IAEA," he told the assembly.

According to Larijani, "If the Western powers continue to use the ridiculous policy of sticks and carrots, Teheran too will form a new type of relationship with the West."

The US and Israel expressed satisfaction over the weekend with what officials from both countries termed "a growing momentum" of international pressure on Iran to halt activities that would enable it to construct nuclear weapons.

On Friday, the IAEA resolution censuring Iran passed by a 25-3 margin, demanding that Teheran immediately freeze construction of its newly revealed nuclear facility and heed Security Council resolutions to stop uranium enrichment.

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

You've probably seen this before. Its been "making the rounds" since at least May.

According to Snopes its legitimacy is "Undermined":
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/haroldestes.asp

And FactCheck.org (the folks who tried to deceive us with "Obama's" fake birth certificate) doesn't have listed (considering that they actively support "Obama" that MIGHT suggest its true).

In any case, the points made are solid. Check it out:

Please send This on ...................................

Wow! Read this one. It is really good. And this gentleman says it just like it is.

Subject: WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes

all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.

He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

" We're no longer a Christian nation"

" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even

announced to the world,"America is mean-

spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching

that nonsense to 23 generations of our

war dead buried all over the globe who

died for no other reason than to free a

whole lot of strangers from tyranny and

hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as h... don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,

Harold B. Estes

When a 95 year old hero of the "the Greatest Generation" stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it to him to send his words to as many Americans as

we can. Please pass it on.

Hell Fire and Damnation! What the Bible Actually Teaches

"The Earth belongs to HaShem and the Fullness Thereof." By Ben Ruach HaKodesh (John of AllFaith) � 2007 (updated 11.18.09) Hell Fire and Damnation! What the Bible Actually Teaches About Hell and the Afterlife The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (II Pet 3:9) There are a LOT of opinions on this one! There are scriptures that appear to teach several different things and so discerning the truth can be confusing. I will share what and why I believe as I do concerning what the Bible actually teaches about Hell and the afterlife based on my research. As always I welcome comments, questions or opposing views. To begin with, as the Roman Catholic Church was establishing the official doctrines of the Nicean Christian Religion they included the teaching of Hell as a place of eternal, fiery torment (which is not of itself to say the doctrine is true or false, only that it began and/or was canonized then as official Church dogma). Much of the imagery of the Nicean Christian conception of Hell is identical with the Pagan underworld known as Hades -- even the word Hades is used 11 times in the New Testament to identify Hell, so there is no question about the origins of the doctrine. That such a place of eternal torment exists is still a common belief among Christians worldwide today of most denominations. Muslims also accept the existence of Hell as true. Some Hindus have a similar teaching, except their version of Hell is as a place of temporary duration rather than eternal condemnation; the descriptions are very similar however although the Vedas goes into more detail. For instance the punishment for rape is that the man will be compelled beyond his control to repeatedly rape a burning metal statue of victim for a time. The European Pagan idea of Hades contained similar prescriptions. The Nicean Christian belief is that God does not torture anyone in Hell and does not want anyone to go that dreadful place. Rather, it is taught, Hell was created for the fallen angels who rebelled -- along with Lucifer (Gen. 6:1-6). Hell was never intended to be the abode of humans according to standard Christian dogma. Humans go to Hell, it is explained, because they fail to make the one decision necessary for them to avoid it and to achieve salvation in Heaven: that being they refuse to accept the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus as taught by Church dogma. "The unsaved dead have to go somewhere," they explain, "and since they choose to reject Jesus, Hell is the only alternative." And they typically shrug their shoulders as if to say, "Don't blame me and God." It does not seem to occur to them that were this case, God is completely capable of creating an alternative location for them. The standard answer therefore goes something like this: Hell is not something God "does to sinners," it is something they do to themselves. But, what does the Bible actually teach about Hell? Let's see: Hades as Hell The Greek word "Hades" is in the Christian New Testament 11 times. Ten of those times it is translated as "hell" and once as "grave" in the King James Version. Here is what Strong's Concordance tells us about this word: ... name: Hades or Pluto, the god of the lower regions Orcus, the nether world, the realm of the dead later use of this word: the grave, death, hell This doesn't sound very Christian to me! Tartaroo as Hell Another word translated as hell is Tartaroo (tar-tar-o'-o) at II Pet 2:4. Again from Strong's Concordance: Word Origin: Greek, Verb from Tartaros (the deepest abyss of Hell) the name of the subterranean region, doleful and dark, regarded by the ancient Greeks as the abode of the wicked dead, where they suffer punishment for their evil deeds; it answers to Gehenna of the Jews to thrust down to Tartarus, to hold captive in Tartarus." Strong's is a standard and widely respected Christian source book for Bible and word Study and even it acknowledges the Pagan origins and applications of these words. Gehenna as Hell By far the most common Greek word translated as "hell" is Gehenna. Joshua sheds light on the biblical meaning of Gehenna this way in the KJV: Joshua 18:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom [i.e. Gehenna], and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel... Gehenna is a valley that was frequently used by Pagans for their religious rites and sacrifices to Moloch, Ashtaroth and other gods and goddesses not accepted by biblical religion. Such sacrifices and rites were deemed to-ay-baw or abominations to the God of Israel. II Chron. 28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: 2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. 3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree This speaks of forbidden goddess worship to Ashtaroth etc. Such forbidden acts of to-ay-baw (religious abomination) were so common that mention of them entered everyday language as figures of speech. For instance, the Master said: Matt. 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell [Gehena]. And again: Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell [Gehenna]; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Of course some will disagree that such verses do not prove that Y'shua wasn't speaking literally about Hell as conceived. It is after all very difficult to prove a negative. Perhaps, but contrast such comments with this counsel of Master: Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he CAST INTO the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Who believes Hell is watery or that the damned will have millstones tied about their necks? No, Y'shua was a celebrated Master of Parables as we read here: Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: Why use parables, similes and metaphors? Because the Master was teaching simple people and he wanted to make his teachings clearly relevant to their daily lives so they could understand. The city people he was addressing carried their trash to the dump, to deep gorges where the garbage was thrown off a cliff and into the fires below. The flames and the stench at such places was nearly overwhelming. His hearers knew full well that if one was cast into those flames there would be no hope of survival! They understood the serious consequences implied by his words and hence understood his warning perfectly. It would be like saying today that for one who fails to accept these teachings it would be just as well to be thrown into the trash compactor of a big city garbage truck and crushed. We've all seen what those powerful compactors can do. Likewise he taught that if a heavy millstone stone were tied about ones neck and one was cast into the sea, there would be no hope. Those who earned their living from the seas understood this stern warning perfectly. Besides, the idea of eternal damnation and torture by the God of Israel was unheard of by the Jews of his day. The Jews prided themselves on not sharing such teachings with the surrounding Pagans who practiced human sacrifices, ritual torture and so on. Master Y'shua presented HaShem as a loving and just Father Who offered mercy and compassion. An eternity of torment for even 80 years of sin is neither just nor merciful. The very idea violates everything the Master taught. The Roman Pagan Origins of Hell So where did this teaching come from? Like so much of Christian dogma, the belief comes straight from Roman Paganism (compare this article on Hades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades). Y'shua Taught the Resurrection of the Dead Matthew 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die... [And his wife remarries even seven times...] 28 ...Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. According to the New Testament then Master Y'shua believed in the resurrection as taught by the Pharisees sect of Judaism. That doctrine was rejected by the Sadducees doctrine of soul extinction, hence their question. What Y'shua and the Pharisees/Rabbis Taught The Rabbis (Pharisees) taught and teach the sure resurrection of the dead. This is also what Y'shua taught as the above verse makes clear. Some also taught/teach reincarnation as we will touch on below. Sheol as Hell The other word translated as hell in the Bible is found in the Tanakh (the "Old Testament"). This word is sheol. In the KJV, sheol is translated as grave 31 times, as hell 31 times and as pit 3 times. While it has no biblical basis, some Jews did/do believe in a place similar to Purgatory (as conceived by some Catholics), a kind of holding area for the dead as it were, for a time that never exceeds one year. Despite this, the word Sheol literally means grave and nothing more. There is no evidence of First Century Jews (nor those before them) believing in any sort of eternal torment nor in a place synonymous with the Pagan Hades. This is a strong indication that Master Y'shua did not teach the existence of such a place either. So when a person dies, righteous or unrighteous, they go to "hell." In other words, they go to the grave (sheol) and await the resurrection of the dead (or reincarnation). The Sadducee sect of Judaism taught that life ended with the grave and that one only symbolically lives on through ones offspring (hence the stress laid on having successful sons and daughters). However like the Pharisees, Master Y'shua knew and taught that the soul -- created in the image of the eternal God -- is never destroyed whatever may happen to the physical body. Like the Pharisees, Y'shua believed in the certain resurrection of all of the dead to the future earthly Kingdom of God and in reincarnation in at least some cases as we read here: Matthew 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias [Elijah] must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. Resurrection and rebirth were the common beliefs of most Jews of the First Century (other than the Sadducees who were considered odd for not believing this). We know from the New Testament that this was also what Y'shua believed and taught and hence is what his followers should believe and teach today in my opinion (Matthew 28:19,10). Belief in the eventual resurrection of the dead in the Olam Haba (the World to Come) was the fundamental belief of traditional Rabbinic Judaism and New Testament Believers, including Y'shua. It was a belief that distinguished the Pharisees (the intellectual ancestors of Rabbinical Judaism) from the Sadducees (that and that the rabbis embraced the Oral Torah as being inspired by God -- a teaching the Sadducees, the Karaite Jews and the Way Movement of Master Y'shua all rejected) The Sadducees rejected the concept of the resurrection, because it is not explicitly mentioned in the Tanakh (although it is in my opinion strongly implied in places like Ezekiel 37). The Pharisees/Rabbis found the concept implied in certain verses and taught directly and clearly in their Oral Torah. For Rabbinical Jews belief in the resurrection of the dead is one of Rambam's 13 Principles of Faith. The second blessing of the Shemoneh Esrei prayer, which is recited three times daily by Orthodox Jews, contains several references to resurrection. (Note: Several Reform Rabbis reject this belief and have rewritten the second blessing accordingly). The Two Resurrections of the Dead According to the New Testament, two resurrections of the dead will occur, one at the beginning and the other at the close of the Thousand Year Messianic Age. I explain this in some detail in chapters 20 and 21 of my Commentary on the Book of Revelation. The Second (general) Resurrection will occur at the dawning of the time referred to in Hebrew as the Olam HaBa -- the World to Come -- but that term is also used to refer to the spiritual afterlife as one awaits the resurrection according to the reforms of Master Y'shua. When Moshiach (Messiah) initiates Olam Haba at the conclusion of the Thousand Year Messianic kingdom, the dead of all the ages will be brought back to life and given the opportunity to experience the perfected world that their righteousness -- by the Grace and Mercy of HaShem -- helped to create. The Second Resurrection According to some, the unrepentant dead will not be resurrected. Others teach they will be resurrected, but only in order to be "uncreated". This is one of the areas where I agree with the reforms/corrections introduced by Master Y'shua. I believe all will be resurrected and that in due time all will come to repentance. There are what we might think of as more-mystical schools of thought that teach that the resurrection is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process of spiritual evolution. These schools teach that the souls are repeatedly reborn or personally resurrected into new bodies in order to continue the ongoing process of tikkun olam, the mending of the world. Rebirth Through the process of rebirth or reincarnation all souls will eventually comes to embrace the Light of God's Love without exception. Theologically this view is sometimes known as universalism (not to be confused with the denomination that bears that name). For "Jewish souls" tikkun olam includes being the instruments of vessels of HaShem for the blessing and liberation of the entire world. Support for this teaching may be found verses like Genesis 12:1-3, that say that through the Jews, HaShem will bless of all peoples. Some such sources add that this is the intention of the "born again" process (John 3:3-7) Y'shua referenced. This process of reincarnation is said to be the common experience of all souls, "... because God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:17). Reincarnation therefore continues until the individual soul is ready to enter Olam HaBa or until Moshiach comes and ends the present age at the Battle of Armageddon. Those souls who are ready rest until the resurrection while those who are not continue to don material flesh. This teaching is included in the theological doctrine known as universalism (again, not to be confused with the denomination of that name). Others teachings indicate that rebirth only occurs in unusual circumstances, where the soul has left unfinished business or where God wishes to use the soul for some future specific work (proof-texts for this view include Matthew 16:14 etc where Y'shua identifies John the Baptizer with the Prophet Elijah reborn). The belief in reincarnation is also one way to explain the traditional Jewish belief that every "Jewish soul" in history past, present and future was present at Sinai and agreed to be bound by the Mosaic/Torah Covenant. Another sometimes accepted explanation for this is that souls exist before their single physical embodiment and that as pre-born souls all Jews were present at Sinai. Belief in reincarnation in any case is commonly held by many Chasidic sects of Judaism as well as many other mystically-inclined Jews and by far more Christians than most traditional Christians suspect. See for example Reincarnation Stories From Chasidic Tradition at http://www.jewfaq.org/olamhaba.htm). For my lifelong recurring memory/dream of my previous life as a Jew living in Bulgaria Click here. As for those who are utterly wicked we read the following from http://www.jewfaq.org/olamhaba.htm (I have slightly edited it for clarification): "Gan Eden and Gehinnom The place of spiritual reward for the righteous is often referred to in Hebrew as Gan Eden (GAHN ehy-DEHN) (the Garden of Eden). This is not the same place where Adam and Eve were; it is a place of spiritual perfection. Specific descriptions of Gan Eden vary widely from one source to another. One source describes the peace that one feels when experiencing Shabbat properly as merely one-sixtieth of the pleasure of the afterlife. Other sources compare the bliss of the afterlife to the joy of sex or to the warmth of a sunny day. Ultimately, though is said that the living can no more understand the nature of this plane of existence than the blind can understand color. [This is as Apostle Paul explains: I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.] According to Rabbinical Judaism only the very righteous go directly to Gan Eden. The average person descends to a place of punishment and/or purification, generally referred to as Gehinnom (guh-hee-NOHM) (in Yiddish, Gehenna), but sometimes as She'ol or by other names. [Again, we can see how thoroughly this imagery has impacted Hebrew society. By using this term Master Y'shua was drawing upon a long and well established tradition.] According to one mystical Jewish view, every sin we commit creates an angel of destruction [i.e. a demon], and after we die we are punished by the very demons we created. Some view Gehinnom as a place or state of severe punishment, a bit like the Christian Hell of fire and brimstone only of temporary duration. Other sources merely see it as a time-out for reflection wherein we consider the actions of our lives objectively, contemplate the harm we have done and the opportunities we missed, and experience remorse for our actions. [This view is similar to the Hall of Akashic Records that many mystics reference.] The period of time spent in Gehinnom never exceeds 12 months, and then the soul ascends to take his place in Olam HaBa. Only the utterly wicked do not ascend to Olam Ha-Ba at the end of this period; their souls are punished for the entire 12 months. Sources differ on what happens at the end of those 12 months: some say that the wicked soul is utterly destroyed and ceases to exist while others say that the soul continues to exist in a state of consciousness of remorse, while yet others say the wicked are sent back to earth and reincarnated so as to understand their errors. [It is also taught by some that once Moshiach comes and inaugurates Olam Haba on this planet that those who still are unrepentant will be transferred to other planets experiencing earlier phases of development so they can eventually accept the Light of Love and Truth. In this way it is taught that all souls will eventually be liberated.] This 12-month limit is repeated in many places in the Talmud, and it is connected to the mourning cycles and the recitation of Kaddish" ( http://www.jewfaq.org/olamhaba.htm) So then, Hell -- as an eternal place of torment -- does not exist in my opinion and was not taught by Y'shua the Anointed. The Master of Parables merely used the well known at the time metaphor to stress the importance of submitting oneself fully to HaShem. Like so much of modern Christianity, the doctrine of hellfire and damnation arose from Pagan sources and lacks a biblical basis. As this metaphorical imagery continued to be utilized by the Way Community (the early followers of Y'shua the Anointed) we find references to the Lake of Fire in the Book of Revelation and so on. All such references are merely figures of speech for utter destruction and separation from the God of Love. In the Book of Revelation and elsewhere the writers of the New Testament use several images taken from the parables of their Master as is fitting for disciples to link into the teachings of their master. In simple terms, Hell is the absence of God's presence.

Farewell to the Last Semi-Independent Voice on US TV News: Lou Dobbs

Lou Dobbs For President!

Under Pressure, Dobbs Announces Resignation From CNN

Farewell for Now to the Last Semi-Independent Voice on US TV News: Lou Dobbs

Not much to say on this:

We lost a big one media-wise.

Lou Dobbs was the last semi-independent news person on US television. Now that voice has been silenced.

The Obamites are taking credit for having him removed.

From the US Dictator's Media Matters:

November 12, 2009

Dear Friend,

Thank you.

Last night was Lou Dobbs' last show on CNN. Dobbs' sudden departure is a powerful reminder of what we are capable of when we work together. For years, Dobbs used his prominent platform on CNN as a perch to spread hate, misinformation, and wild conspiracy theories. Thanks in no small part to your continued dedication and activism, starting today, Dobbs no longer has that platform.

Watch a video highlighting our efforts against Dobbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr5wUEe8m_E

In July, Dobbs followed up years of trafficking in fact-free, racially charged conspiracy theories by promoting "birther" paranoia about President Obama's birth certificate on CNN's airwaves. In response, thousands of you signed our petition and sent emails calling on CNN president Jon Klein to address CNN's Lou Dobbs problem. In August, after CNN tried to sweep the issue under the rug, your generosity helped us raise enough money to air an ad calling on the network to credibly address the issue. After CNN rejected the ad, it aired on MSNBC.

In September, in partnership with NDN, America's Voice, the National Council of La Raza, LULAC, and more than a dozen other prominent progressive, Hispanic, and civil rights groups, we launched DropDobbs.com, which placed new focus on Dobbs' ongoing hate speech and misinformation. After CNN still refused to address its Dobbs problem, you once again generously helped us raise enough money to air an ad made with our friends at America's Voice. Yet again, CNN refused to air the ad, but the message we sent was clear:The American people had had enough of Dobbs' hate speech, and we weren't going to drop the issue.

Today, thanks to your efforts and the work of our partners, Dobbs can no longer use CNN as a platform to pursue his dangerous, one-sided, and often conspiracy-tinged crusade against immigrants. This is a happy day for those who care about our nation of immigrants and believe in the power of media to elevate the political discourse.

Yet, while this is a great day for our efforts, our work to hold the media accountable is by no means over. Earlier this week we launched a petition calling on Rupert Murdoch to apologize for agreeing with Fox News demagogue Glenn Beck's outrageous claim that President Obama is "a racist." As usual, you responded to our call to action with fervor. Nearly 10,000 people have signed the petition in less than 48 hours. On Tuesday night, a News Corp. spokesman told the Politico that Murdoch "does not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist." Clearly, this statement does not square with Murdoch's own words from the interview. If you haven't had a chance to sign the petition calling on Murdoch to apologize, please take a moment to do so now:

Thank you for your continued help in holding the media accountable. As today powerfully demonstrates, when we work together, we can create real, lasting change.

"Obama" Appoints Two Devout Muslims to Key DHS Positions!

As expected, covert al Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) operative Hussein Obama Sotero has just appointed two devout Muslims to key positions in the US Department of Homeland Security!

(LOS ANGELES, CA., 5/6/09) - The Greater Los Angeles Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today congratulated Arif Alikhan on his recent appointment as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

One of the two, Arif Alikhan, served as Deputy Mayor of LA and successfully stopped the "Muslim 'Mapping' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Departmentthat sought to keep track of Muslim terrorists threats in LA: For info on this go here:

Muslims Welcome Removal of LAPD's Mapping Program: http://www.mpac.org/article.php?id=563

Behind this move to stop tracking was, not surprizingly, the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California: http://www.shuracouncil.org/

The word Shura means "consultation," the method by which pre-Islamic Arabian tribes selected leaders and made major decisions. Note the term pre-Islamic. The purpose of the this group to impliment Shara, Islamic Law, in Southern California and beyond.. EXACTLY as stated in the Muslim Brotherhood Project documents of Al Ikhwan.

What doe this mean?

It means that the Illegal Immigrant who is currently dictator of the United States just gave the Department of Homeland Security to our enemies!

See this Atlas Shrugs piece for more on this.

Our New Protectors?
Allahu Akhbar!
