Netanyahu is Correct in His After the War Assessment

Netanyahu is Correct. Palestinian Authority must not be allowed to return to Gaza. Israel must control the land that God gave to them. They cannot allow terrorists—people that hate them—to be near them, to be in the same land that God gave to only them. The United States must but out of Israel’s business. If we can’t help them in what they want to do, we should but out.

Netanyahu: Palestinian Authority can’t return to Gaza, this isn’t Oslo II

“I won’t repeat this mistake and return this body to Gaza, because the same thing will happen,” Netanyahu said.

By TOVAH LAZAROFF,  DECEMBER 3, 2023

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged not to repeat the mistakes made under the Oslo Accords by allowing the Palestinian Authority to return to Gaza after its military campaign to oust Hamas from that enclave is over.

“One thing for sure I am not doing. I am not ready to delude myself to say that the defective act that took place under Oslo through a terrible error” must now take place a second time with the return of a “hostile entity” to Gaza and the West Bank, he told reporters on Saturday night.

Netanyahu referenced the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s initial exit to Tunisia. He noted that this was a correct decision, adding that the error that had been made was to allow it to return in 1994 with through the Palestinian Authority under the auspices of the 1993 Oslo Accords.“I won’t repeat this mistake and return this body to Gaza, because the same thing will happen,” he said. He referenced the 2007 coup in which Hamas ousted the PA’s Fatah party from Gaza and forcibly seized control of the enclave.

The Palestinian leadership has split into two, Netanyahu said, but the ideology that denies Israel’s right to exist is common to both those who rule in the West Bank and in Gaza.

 Instead of seeing the kind of governmental reform that took place in Germany and Japan after defeat in World War II, the opposite will occur if “we will return the same entity – that has not undergone any reform or transformation — into Gaza,” Netanyahu said.

“This is what even our good friends are proposing,” he said.

 “I think differently and I oppose this. We have to build something different” once the war is over, he said. He emphasized that Israel must have general control over the territory, including security, but that the internal governance would be Palestinian,” Netanyahu said. He clarified that this reference newly created government entity and not the PA.“The PA doesn’t fight terror it supports it. It doesn’t educate for peace, it educates for the destruction of Israel,” he said. “This isn’t the entity that needs to enter there [Gaza],” he said. The international community and the United States has pushed Israel on the issue of what happens to Gaza after Israel completes it military campaign to destroy Hamas. It did so after the terror group infiltrated southern Israel, killing over 1,200 people and seizing some 240 captives. The United States supports Israel’s military campaign in Gaza but is concerned about the high number of displaced people due to aerial bombings, some 1.9 million out of the 2.7 million that live there, as well as by the high death toll. Hamas has asserted that some 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza war-related violence, without specifying how many of those are combatants. The United States and the international community have called on Israel to minimize civilian casualties and ensure a flow of aid. But they have also looked to the day after and stressed that the PA should govern Gaza, even though they have not offered a viable security alternative for that option. Israel has insisted that the IDF must maintain military control of the enclave. US Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday addressed the Biden administration’s day-after vision for Gaza, when she spoke with reporters on the sidelines of the United Nations COP28 Climate Conference in the United Arab Emirates.“Hamas can not control Gaza and Israel must be secure,” while the Palestinians have a political horizon, she said, explaining that this included the return of a revitalized PA to Gaza. “The PA security forces must be strengthened to eventually assume security responsibilities in Gaza,” Harris said.

“Until then there must be security arrangements that are acceptable to Israel, the people of Gaza, the PA, and the international partners,” Harris said.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza

“The PA must be revitalized driven by the will of the Palestinian people,” she said, adding that this revitalized PA must be able to govern Gaza as well as the PA.Moving forward, she said, “we can not conflate Hamas with the Palestinian people.” Harris clarified that “Hamas is a brutal terror organization that has vowed to repeat October 7 until Israeli is annihilated. No nation could possibly live with such danger.” But how Israel conducts its military operations against Hamas, “it matters how” and international law must be respected. “To many innocent Palestinians have been killed. The scale of humanitarian suffering and the images coming from Gaza have been devastating,” she said. “Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians,” she said. On Saturday night in Ramallah PA President Mahmoud Abbs said that Gaza was “an integral part of the Palestinian state and that “any political solution” must include that enclave as well as the West Bank and east Jerusalem. According to his statement posed on the Palestinian news agency, WAFA, the only solution to the bloodshed, he told PA leaders, is recognition of a Palestinian state on that territory, including UN membership. Abbas called for an international conference to discuss and set a timetable for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines. “We continue with our people to remain steadfast in the battle for survival, freedom, and independence. We will not kneel. We will not surrender to the fait accomplice. We will not allow the Nakba of Palestine in 1948 to be repeated, whatever the circumstances, and no matter how costly the sacrifice.”

Update: My Complaints

Talking too Loud!

Today I’m going to do some complaining. I hope you don’t mind too much. Ha ha.

Talking Too Loud

I like to sit in my favorite restaurant in the morning for breakfast and read. So, I like it quiet. I don’t mind normal conversation, but there are always a few people that talk too loudly. Their voice is heard almost no matter where I sit, and it’s hard to concentrate on my reading. It’s very annoying! I almost want to say something to them, but I don’t want to embarrass them. You know, it’s almost as if they want people to hear them. It’s like they take pride in being heard by many people. Maybe they have a secret desire to be a preacher or a politician or a comedian—but never get the chance.

Derek Chauvin

I’m not a fan of his, but I think he got a bum deal. I don’t think he is guilty of murder. He was just doing his job. In fact, he acted in accordance with how he was trained. When Floyd resisted arrest, Chauvin used an approved method of restraint.

Last night I listened to a segment on Newsmax. I heard that it has recently been found that there was no evidence that Chauvin killed Floyd. Yes, there was never any scientific evidence that his knee caused any trauma to Floyd. There was “No life-threatening injury identified.” In fact, did you know that the actual prosecutors did not believe that any of the officers should have been criminally charged? They thought the case should have been thrown out for lack of evidence. It was suggested that since Floyd had 16.6 grams of Fentanyl in his system, maybe that was more the cause of his death, since 2 grams is considered to be a lethal dose.

Then why and how was Chauvin convicted of murder? Two reasons: 1) Keith Elison (Minnesota’s AG) decided that he would take over the case. He saw to it that Chauvin would be seen as racist and would be convicted. 2) Chauvin was convicted not based on evidence, but on political and media driven pressure. The public convicted him! This sounds to me an awful lot like Jesus’ trial. Pilot rendered Jesus guilty based only on what the crowd wanted. They said, Crucify Him! So He was!

Like I said, I am no fan of Chauvin, but I am disappointed in this country and in my state of Minnesota, that we will sentence a person based not on evidence but on popular opinion. Where is the justice?

My writing

I’m not presently writing any books. I’ve been going back and re-writing—editing. Truthfully, I’m kind of discouraged. I like to write, but not many are buying. I may look into a different self-publishing company, one that is more Christian based. Lulu is open for anything. I also need more money and more direction and support. I can’t do it all myself—which is what I have been doing. Enough complaining!

My reading

I would like to write a book on heaven. But before I start I need to do more reading on the subject. I read the book Heaven, by Randy Alcorn and now I am reading a book on heaven by John MacArthur. So far, I don’t like it—too negative. He spends too much time in telling the false teaching of heaven. I already know that. I want to know what the truth is about heaven. I may have to just do my own Bible Study, to go through the entire Bible and see what it says. That’s the best way anyway.

I’m also reading a book about William Tyndale. I’m enjoying it. He lived in a difficult time and place—in the 1500’s in England and also Germany. He was brilliant. He was so dedicated to his work of translating the Bible into English, from Latin and Greek, and he also examined Luther’s German translation. He wanted the common man to have a bible to read in English. Since the Catholic Church was against his work and against his teaching, he was always moving around from place to place—hiding. They eventually labeled him a heretic and at the end was burned at the stake.

I am only halfway done with the book so that will not come until the last few pages. Terrible to think about!

I will end my complaints here. I hope I will have a better day—and that you will too.

Witches and Witch Hunters

Posted on by

I have heard about the “Salem witch trials,” but I have not known the details. Now I do—after reading Killing the Witches, by Bill O’Reily. It’s quite a story. Dreadful!

Before reading this book I read the book, Mayflower, by Nathaniel Philbrick. So I was well informed of the Mayflower pilgrims and their strict ways. In some respects, they were admirable people, studiers of the Scriptures and wanting to do right. But, the way I see it, they were also very legalistic and hypocritical. They did not allow the celebrating of Christmas and Easter; they were not to sing hymns or express joy in song; displays of affection, even for married couples was not allowed and was punished; there was a strict dress code; toys for children were not allowed. Anyway, you get the picture.

The power structure of the Pilgrams ultimately came down from the Kings and Queens of England, but there were also powerful enforcers that came over from the Mayflower, like William Bradford and Captain Myles Standish. They were there to keep the people pure and “sinless.” And the punishment of sins were quite brutal, in some cases deadly.

The anti-witch movement began in England, but soon came to New England by the English Kings, esp. King James, who had an irrational fear of witches. But the English Kings were not worried because the new land had installed excellent witch hunters, namely the preacher and scholar Increase Matther and his son Cotton Mather. Cotton was especially dedicated to witch hunting; and he made it his goal and life achievement to rid the new land of witches. And he had a group of young witch hunters, mostly teenage girls who made a game of finding and accusing anyone they didn’t like of being witches. As far as I could see from the reading, these girls were liars and probably themselves demon possessed. They would bring accusations to anyone they had a grudge against—like their teachers, and the elderly, and even godly ministers.

These young, mischievous girls made a game of pretending that these people whom they accused were afflicting them with spells; and in the court room, whenever the accused would look at them, they pretended that they were being afflicted by witchcraft. Hence, the judges used this acting out by the girls as proof that the accused was a witch. Over and over again, false accusations were made. And in my opinion, all who were accused were innocent. In fact, it was the witch hunters and the accusers who were the guilty ones—even witches and demon possessed.

Shockingly, the law in those days offered no protection for anyone who was accused of a crime. They were declared guilty until proven innocent. And they were not allowed to make their own case or to have anyone speak for them. It was all one sided. And the unfortunate result in Salem, Massachusetts was that many hundreds were accused of witchcraft, and of those many were brutally tortured and were hung by their necks until dead.

Now, as Bill O’Reilly pointed out in his book, no one these days is executed, but many are wrongly accused of crimes, and their lives are ruined.

And who would you say are the innocent victims? and who are the witch hunters? It is clear to me that Donald Trump has been wrongly accused ever since he became President in 2016. True, he isn’t perfect—no one is; but he has been the victim of incredible lies. We can also add Christians as a whole, and Jews, to that list of victims.

And who would you say are the witch hunters? The obvious one is Hilary Clinton; also Barak Obama; and most of the media; and of course the Democratic party. They are all tied together in the big witch hunt. The big fake witch hunt.

And isn’t it interesting that the witch hunters, the ones that are accusing people of crimes, are the witches! It was true in 1692 in Salem, and it is still true today in 2023 in America.

Israel to Control Gaza

Both Herzog and Netanyahu agree that the Palestinians cannot be trusted to govern Gaza. I agree. All of the land promised to Israel should be Israel’s, and that includes Gaza. I don’t even think any of them should be allowed to live there; but if they are allowed, they will have to be controlled.

Herzog: ‘Very strong force’ needed in Gaza after Hamas defeated

“We can’t leave a vacuum” that could enable the coastal enclave to turn “into a terror base again,” said the Israeli president.

November 16, 2023

Israel will need to maintain a significant presence in Gaza to prevent the Hamas terrorist group from regaining control of the enclave, President Isaac Herzog said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Thursday.

“If we pull back, then who will take over? We can’t leave a vacuum. We have to think about what will be the mechanism; there are many ideas that are thrown in the air,” Herzog said. “But no one will want to turn this place, Gaza, into a terror base again.”

Israeli forces have been conducting ground, air and naval operations in the Gaza Strip with the stated goal of dismantling Hamas’s military and governing capabilities, in the wake of the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel.

Herzog told the British daily business newspaper that the Israeli government has been discussing ideas about how Gaza will be managed after Hamas is defeated, indicating that the United States and “our neighbors in the region” would have some involvement.

The United States has been pushing for the Palestinian Authority to play a role in governing Gaza after Hamas, but Israeli officials have rejected the proposal due to the P.A.’s support for terrorism.

“In order to prevent terror from coming up again, we have to have a very strong force to make sure that it’s committed enough and it [the attack] doesn’t happen [again],” said Herzog.

Herzog’s remarks echo those of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has stated multiple times in recent weeks that Israel will maintain security control over Gaza after defeating Hamas.

“The IDF will continue to have security control over the Gaza Strip for as long as necessary to prevent terrorism from it. The massacre on Oct. 7 proved once and for all wherever there is no Israeli security control, terrorism will return and establish itself; therefore, I will not agree to concede security control under any circumstances,” Netanyahu said at a joint press conference on Nov. 11.

Netanyahu also said during the press conference that Gaza cannot be ruled by “a civil authority that educates its children to hate Israel, to kill Israelis, to eliminate the State of Israel… an authority that pays the families of murderers [amounts] based on the number they murdered… an authority whose leader still has not condemned the terrible [Oct. 7] massacre 30 days later,” referring to P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas.

During the interview with the Financial Times, Herzog also discussed the hostage situation, among other topics, blaming Hamas for the lack of an agreement on their release.

“We haven’t even received one piece of information about our hostages,” he said. “So we have to fight and get them.”

Herzog also touched upon efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to the Strip, saying that Israel is discussing a “major effort” with Cyprus to deliver aid via the Mediterranean Sea and that Cypriot officials were visiting Israel on Thursday to follow up on the initiative.

“It’s under serious negotiations with the Cypriot government,” Herzog said.

IDF To Control Gaza after War

I praise Netanyahu for his courage and wisdom for this decision. This is the correct action and will insure Israel’s survival. Israel is acting alone on this decision, so they will need the prayers of Christians everywhere. Israel must not let the Palestinians control the Gaza strip—ever again. It is Israel’s land—what God has given them.

Netanyahu says IDF will control Gaza after war, rejects notion of international force

PM speaks to mayors of Gaza border towns on plans to rebuild after Hamas atrocities; meeting comes after premier criticized for failing to meet local leaders since Oct. 7 massacres

By TOI STAFF and JACOB MAGID

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday the IDF will remain in control of the Gaza Strip after the current war ends, and will not rely on international forces to oversee security along the border.

Netanyahu made the comments in a meeting with the mayors of Gaza border towns at IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. The local leaders oversee many of the communities that were assaulted and had their residents murdered and kidnapped in Hamas’s October 7 massacres of southern communities. Others have faced daily barrages of rockets from Gaza over the past month, and many communities have been evacuated as Israel presses ahead in its military campaign, leaving tens of thousands internally displaced.

“IDF forces will remain in control of the Strip, we will not give it to international forces,” Netanyahu said, according to a readout from his spokesperson, not saying whether it would do so for the short or long term.

Netanyahu and his government have been vague on what they envision for Gaza after the war. Only hours earlier the premier told Fox News that Israel does not want to re-occupy or govern the Strip. Earlier this week, Netanyahu told ABC News that Israel will have “overall security responsibility” over the Gaza Strip “for an indefinite period” after the war against Hamas ends.

US officials have raised the possibility in recent weeks that an international force, possibly with troops from neighboring Arab allies, could manage security in the Strip for an interim period until it can be returned to a functioning Palestinian government, which Washington hopes will be the Palestinian Authority.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday called on Israel not to reoccupy the Strip once its war with Hamas ends.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated on Friday that the PA is ready to retake control of Gaza, but said that would only happen if the move is part of a comprehensive political solution that includes a Palestinian state established along the 1967 borders. The PA leader made the same pledge on Sunday during a meeting in Ramallah with Blinken.

He also repeated his allegations that Israel is carrying out “genocide” in Gaza as it battles Hamas there, and called for an international peace conference to provide “international guarantees” and a timetable to end Israeli control of the Palestinian territories.

The group meeting between Netanyahu and local leaders was his first since the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists, which saw some 1,400 people killed, most of them civilians, and over 240 abducted to Gaza.

The prime minister had come under fire for waiting over a month to meet the local leaders, criticism that intensified this week as he met settlement mayors before sitting down with the municipal heads of the area devastated by Hamas.

The mayors told Netanyahu they want a different security reality after the war is over and urged him not to agree to a ceasefire until all Gaza terrorists are eliminated, the statement from the premier’s spokesperson said. They also called for a robust government support program to support their communities as the fighting continues.

Netanyahu said in a statement: “There is a great determination by [the residents] and the government to restore things to an even better state than before. To rehabilitate, to build, to grow. And first of all to bring back security, to ensure there is no Hamas and that Hamas does not return, but also to ensure there is strong life [in the communities] afterward.”

Sderot mayor Alon Davidi told Army Radio ahead of the meeting on Friday: “The State of Israel is the one that brought our great enemy upon us… The leadership brought us to this place.”

Among the local leaders in the south are a number of figures influential in Netanyahu’s Likud party, where the prime minister has faced growing criticism for the government’s failures that led to the October 7 attacks as well as those that have followed — in the slow pace of financial and other aid to affected communities.

Netanyahu is the only senior Israeli official who has refused to make a full-throated admission of responsibility for the horrors of the Hamas attacks, and is likely to face growing calls to depart office once the war ends or abates.

God is Gathering His People into their own Land, Ezekiel 37:21

It appears that God is using the Hamas war and the increasing antisemitism to fulfill His promise to them, that He will “gather them [His people] from every side and bring them into their own land.” Read the following article from the All Israel News Staff.

Significant increase in Jews desiring to immigrate to Israel since Oct. 7 Hamas attack

French and North American Jews show the highest levels of interest

 | Published: November 8, 2023 

Israel’s Aliyah [gathering] and Integration Ministry reported on Tuesday that there is a notable increase of people interested in immigrating to Israel since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, with the largest numbers of requests from France and North America.

Of those considering the possibility of moving to Israel, the ministry reported a 149% increase in interest from Jewish French citizens and an 81% increase from North American Jews.

Ofir Sofer, the minister of Aliyah and Integration, said the Jewish state is ready to face what he called a “state of emergency” due to a 500% rise in global antisemitism, especially against Jewish youths on university campuses.

France has seen an unprecedented uptick in antisemitic attacks in the past month since the war began last month. The number of incidents has risen above peak numbers that were recorded in 2002.

Sofer says his ministry staff is prepared for a large wave of immigrants and a unified desire to support the State of Israel in the coming year.

“We are in a state of emergency,” Sofer said in the ministry’s statement. “The reports I have been receiving are very concerning. Our goal now is to strengthen the ties between us and support the communities that stand with Israel.”

“Precisely now, we are seeing a surge in the number of people interested in aliyah. The waves of unity and Jewish solidarity are bolstering the aliyah movement and strengthening the State of Israel.”

He also said new immigrants would receive strong support when they arrive in Israel.

“The State of Israel awaits everyone,” he added, inviting Jews around the world to move to the Jewish state.

While the numbers of those interested in making aliyah have risen since the war began, the first half of 2023 saw a decrease in immigration. 

In July, The Jewish Agency for Israel reported a significant drop in aliyah from Western countries from January to July in 2023, while interest from Russian Jews began to rise.

The war in Ukraine is said to be a significant factor in the rise and fall of immigration numbers and has significantly impacted a sharp rise in Russian immigration.  

The numbers of immigrants from Western European countries in the first half of 2023 dropped by 44% compared to the same time in 2022.

Some countries, such as France and Britain, revealed an even larger decrease in immigrants during 2023, prior to Oct. 7.

Only 383 French immigrants made aliyah so far in 2023, a 59% decrease from the previous year, and 171 British immigrants became Israeli citizens, a 40% drop from 2022.

At least 22,851 immigrants arrived in Israel in 2023, a 32% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. 

However, according to the Jewish Agency, only about 700 immigrants arrived in October since the war began, compared to last year during the same period, when 5,773 new immigrants made aliyah, 4,553 of them from Russia.

Jews and Christians: Hated by All Nations, Matthew 24:9

It looks like this Hamas attack, and the resulting war in Israel, has provoked the haters to action. We are seeing now how many of these evil haters—haters of Jews and true Christians—there are. Many of them. And this revelation is a sign that the coming Tribulation and the proceeding Rapture of the Church is very close. Please read the following article.

Global Explosion Of Hate – Another Sign Of The End Times

 BY MICHAEL SNYDER/ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG NOVEMBER 03, 2023

What we are witnessing is truly frightening.  In my entire lifetime, I have never seen as much hate as I have over the past few weeks.  It is almost as if a very large chunk of the global population has suddenly gone mad.  But of course all of this hate did not come out of a vacuum.  

It has been simmering for many years, and now the war in the Middle East has brought it to the surface.  

Humans were created to love and to be loved, and so if you find yourself consumed with hatred you are part of the problem.  Of course we knew that this global explosion of hate would be coming.  The Bible warns us repeatedly about what the condition of humanity will be like in the end times.  One example of this can be found in Matthew chapter 24…

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

When Jesus spoke these words, He was speaking to Jewish believers.

And right now we are seeing a tremendous outpouring of hatred toward Jews and Bible-believing Christians all over the planet.

October 7th was not a one time thing.

Ultimately, radical Muslims will never be satisfied until they have annihilated every single person that is not willing to submit to Islam.

Even though their focus is on wiping out Jewish people living in the land of Israel right now, it will definitely not end there.

So the things that Hamas official Ghazi Hamad recently said on LBC TV should chill all of us to the core…

Ghazi Hamad of the Hamas political bureau said in an October 24, 2023 show on LBC TV (Lebanon) that Hamas is prepared to repeat the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation time and again until Israel is annihilated. He added that Palestinians are willing to pay the price and that they are “proud to sacrifice martyrs.” Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: “Everything we do is justified.”

This is a man that has been totally consumed by hatred.

And there are millions upon millions of others just like him all over the world.

Since October 7th, we have seen an explosion of anti-Jewish acts that is truly unprecedented…

In Los Angeles, a man screaming “kill Jews” attempts to break into a family’s home. In London, girls in a playground are told they are “stinking Jews” and should stay off the slide. In China, posts likening Jews to parasites, vampires or snakes proliferate on social media, attracting thousands of “likes”.

These are examples of incidents of antisemitism, which have surged globally since the attack by Hamas gunmen on southern Israel on Oct. 7 and subsequent war on the Islamist group launched by Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Thanks to very foolish immigration policies, major cities all over the western world are now absolutely teeming with radical Muslims.

We have been warned for a long time that this would cause massive problems, and now Jewish communities everywhere are living in fear.


In France, large numbers of homes and businesses that are owned by Jewish people are being marked with paint…

France already documented 819 ‘latent’ antisemitic attacks since the war between Hamas and Israel began on October 7, according to Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin.

In Jewish homes on the outskirts of Paris, multiple blue Stars of David have been painted on homes and stone fences.

Swastikas have also been sprayed next to Jewish institutions, and students have been publicly harassed outside of Jewish schools.

Sadly, this isn’t just happening in France.

Similar things are taking place in Germany…

Recent weeks have seen Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, vow to take a “zero tolerance” approach to antisemitism, citing the responsibility towards Israel given Germany’s role as the perpetrator of the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered.

Other national leaders have echoed those concerns.

In recent days Scholz has doubled down on the pledge, after assailants hurled two molotov cocktails at a synagogue in central Berlin and the Star of David was found daubed on the facades of several buildings where Jews live in Berlin.

There is no rational way to explain the intensity of this hatred.

And that is because it is spiritually inspired.

Many Christians have commented about the dark spiritual connection to everything going on and how it has a supernatural undertone to it all.

Unfortunately, what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.

As the war in the Middle East really ramps up, I believe that we will see some truly dramatic terror attacks all over the world.

On Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned members of Congress that the threat of terrorism inside the United States has reached “a whole other level”…

Terrorist threats against the U.S. reached “a whole other level” after the Hamas attack on Israel, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told Congress on Tuesday, saying the big players in terrorism have all renewed calls to attack America and its interests.

He said the level of threats has heightened since President Biden took office, though U.S. law enforcement is “better prepared to deal with them.”

“The reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of attack on Americans to a whole other level,” Mr. Wray said.

From this point forward, things are going to start getting really crazy.

However, God warned us about all of these things in advance, He has a plan, and He is in control.

So even though darkness is rapidly growing all over the world, we should never give in to fear for greater is He who is in you than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Netanyahu: This Is A Time For War

Posted on by

“The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war – a war for our common future.“

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — The following is the full, unedited text of the statement that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made Monday night before taking questions from the international press corps.  

Until recently, many believed that the promise of progress of the 21st century would enable us to move beyond the barbaric horrors of the past towards a better and brilliant future. 

Many believed that we could go about our comfortable lives and that evil will simply pass us by.

It will not.

The horrors that Hamas perpetrated on October 7th remind us that we will not realize the promise of a better future unless we, the civilized world, are willing to fight the barbarians. 

Because the barbarians are willing to fight us. 

And their goal is clear: Shatter that promising future, destroy all that we cherish and usher in a world of fear and darkness. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, 

This is a turning point, a turning point for leaders and nations. 

It is time for all of us to decide if we are willing to fight for a future of hope and promise; or surrender to tyranny and terror.

Now rest assured, Israel will fight. 

Since October 7th, Israel has been at war. Israel did not start this war. 

Israel did not want this war. 

But Israel will win this war.

Hamas launched this war by perpetrating the worst savagery our people have seen since the Holocaust.

Hamas murdered children in front of their parents.

Murdered parents in front of their children. 

They burnt people alive. 

They raped women. 

They beheaded men. 

They tortured Holocaust survivors. 

They kidnapped babies. 

They committed the most horrific crimes imaginable.

And they’re a part of the axis of evil Iran has formed, an axis of terror that works by arming, training and financing Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and other terror proxies throughout the Middle East and beyond the Middle East. 

In fighting Hamas and the Iranian axis of terror, Israel is fighting the enemies of civilization itself. Victory over these enemies begins with moral clarity. 

It begins with knowing the difference between good and evil, between right and wrong. 

It means making a moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent and the unintentional casualties that accompany every legitimate war, even the most just war. 

It means holding Hamas responsible for the double war crime it commits every day by deliberately targeting Israeli civilians while using Palestinians civilians as human shields. 

It means making clear that the use of human shields is not only an immoral tactic of terror but also an ineffective one.

Because as long as Hamas’ use of Palestinian human shields results in the international community blaming Israel, Hamas will continue to use it as a tool of terror, and so will others. 

Hamas will continue to use the basements in Gaza’s hospitals as the command posts of its vast terror tunnel network. It will continue to use mosques as fortified military positions and weapons depots. It will continue to steal fuel and humanitarian assistance from UN facilities.

While Israel is doing everything to get Palestinian civilians out of harm’s way, Hamas is doing everything to keep Palestinian civilians in harm’s way.

Israel urges Palestinian civilians to leave the areas of armed conflict, while Hamas prevents those civilians from leaving those areas at gunpoint.

Hamas is also preventing foreign nationals from leaving Gaza altogether. And most despicably, Hamas is holding over 200 Israelis hostage, including 33 children: holding them, terrorizing them, keeping them as hostages.

Every civilized nation should stand with Israel in demanding that these hostages be freed immediately and freed unconditionally.

I want to make clear Israel’s position regarding a ceasefire. Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th.

Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war – a war for our common future.

Today, we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand. Israel will stand against the forces of barbarism until victory. 

I hope and pray that civilized nations everywhere will back this fight, because Israel’s fight is your fight. Because if Hamas and Iran’s axis of evil win – you will be their next target. 

That’s why Israel’s victory will be your victory. But make no mistake. Regardless of who stands with Israel, Israel will fight until this battle is won. And Israel will prevail.

May God Bless Israel and May God Bless all those who stand with Israel.

The Elite’s Dangerous Path

I just now listened to a recording by Jan Markell and her guest Twila Brase, discussing the likelihood of Covid round two. I won’t be able to tell you everything; you will have to listen to it yourself—click on lightsource.com/ministry/understanding-the-times/the-elites-dangerous-path-twila-brase-1130012.html.

At the beginning Maria Bartiromo and Ron Johnson of Wisc. are saying that the Pandemic was all pre-planned back in 2019. But it began way before that. The elites and the Democratic party and the media were all in on it, and they had pandemic exercises so they would know exactly how to handle people—to get people to wear masks and to install lockdowns. The shocking thing about all of it was that they had to allow people to die in order to carry out their evil plan. Here are a few highlights of the video.

  • It has been determined that the virus shots are not safe.
  • The virus shots have caused complications, like heart damage and deaths.
  • The Covid shots actually increased the chances of getting covid.
  • The booster shots have been the worst.
  • Some drugs (hydraclor…) have proved to be helpful in reducing the chances of getting covid, but the government and the World Health Organization (WHO) were trying to prevent people from getting those drugs. What does that tell you?
  • More than half of parents say they will no longer vaccinate their children.
  • One of the drugs, Ivermectin, was not allowed, but now just recently they are allowing it. It is actually very safe to take.
  • Dr. Fauci will be found to be a fraud!

Sorry, this is so sketchy. But there was so much information and hard to take notes on it all. Bottom line for me is that I will not be wearing a mask any more or definitely not be taking any more shots. I had two, but no more. As I said, the pandemic was all planned in order to control people and probably to reduce the population. I hope more and more people will fight against this evil plot that is still going on. I’m sure they will try again, and again. But I think we will be more prepared next time.

The lefts love of Hamas

In light of all the brutality it is unthinkable that anyone can love Hamas and what they did to Israel, and even the children.  

 

Why Do Leftists Love Hamas So Much?

The romance with barbarism.

October 23, 2023 by John Nantz

As reports of Hamas war crimes, inhuman atrocity, and medieval Muhammadist brutality continue to stream into our consciousness, a steady parade of terror apologists bugle their inveterate support for all things barbaric.

We’ve heard unimaginably callous statements from The Squad, Ivy League students, and the “social justice” organization BLM regarding the manifold cruelties perpetrated on Israeli citizens. Hamas swine have carried out their diabolical tasks with a relish not witnessed since the genocidal mania displayed by Hitler, Mengele, and Himmler.

Then, as now, the usual suspects have appeared to offer their heartfelt support for the forces of tyranny and homicide. The New York Times famously lent the considerable weight of its  commentary to the budding dictator and would-be second coming of Alexander the Great — Adolph Hitler. You’d have thought the Times learned a lesson with Adolph, but the Grey Lady’s sages swooned for the Iron Curtain and one of history’s most accomplished butchers, Joseph Stalin.

And, as the leading publication of record, the Times bore the banner of hate, racism, and bigotry for a media complex now completely devoted to the mechanism of statist propaganda. Hate for anyone guilty of naughty thinking; racism as a tool of political and social subjugation; and bigotry against any democratizing influence that threatens the hegemony of elitism.

Liberalism is legion — finding a host and corporeal form in the Democrat party, our institutions of “higher learning,” and in the legacy media. And, as Christ said speaking of another demonic spirit, “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 9:29)

There really are only two worldviews. One view acknowledges the fundamentally fallen, depraved nature of man. The other views mankind as containing a spark of Divinity. Basically good, but prone to do evil as the result of outside forces shaping human nature. This is the fundamental presupposition of Utopianism which has spawned every totalitarian regime since the Tower of Babel.

Think about every “people’s movement” throughout history. The promise of heaven on earth, built brick by brick into a towering ziggurat of hubris, is always the same. If only we could construct a government with benevolent and supremely intellectual autocrats, we could bask in the light and comity of a blossoming humanity fostered by an enlightened citizenry educated, or as Hillary would put it, “deprogrammed” out of every vice. This is the simpering stupidity of liberalism. Sixty million murdered soviet citizens speak most eloquently to that point.

At the very center of the utopian model is the exercise of centralized power over a subjugated populace. The flavors vary, but it’s all the same slurry of empty calories and sugar. Democrats lust for bigger government because it represents movement toward the ultimate objective, their complete and total control, effectuated by their radiant intellect, and performing the necessary modulations of social control to optimize, support, and perpetuate the metabolic functions of the state.

Just as in the Matrix, liberalism’s Kingdom Come is an exalted state that utilizes individuals as batteries—a disposable and renewable resource in the service of its own biological function.

Hamas, and terrorist organizations like it, represent the exercise of sheer power, both physical and psychological. The anarchy it creates excites the totalitarian spirit and inflames the insatiable lust of statists who witness the transformation of the geopolitical space in real time. They are titillated by the destruction of democratic processes and institutions, and are pressed beyond measure by their exuberance—excusing the inexcusable in a frenetic attempt to publicly reconcile barbarism with their utopian vision.

The terrorism of Hamas is an opportunity to see statists for what they really are. Whether in academe, politics, or pop culture, they can’t help but cheer the slaughter and mayhem, because secretly, they’d blithely sacrifice whole continents to their benevolent, all consuming governmental god.

Make no mistake, they’d feed naughty thinkers wholesale into the furnace if they could only eradicate the people’s tool of power—the gun.

It’s no coincidence that Israel is the Middle East’s only democracy. An oasis in a sea of totalitarian Muhammadists. Israel is the repository of the Biblical principles that make the civil society possible, the fundamental social precondition for democratic republics. Israel is the political embodiment of the Biblical truth that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

America shares the same theological and philosophical traditions as Israel. Our founding fathers understood that man is fallen, bent toward evil, and never to be implicitly trusted with temporal authority. This understanding is the reason for the meticulous construction of checks and balances in our Constitution. It’s the reason we have enjoyed liberty and the ability to pursue happiness for over two centuries.

Liberalism maintains a view of humanity that is antithetical to what the Bible teaches. And, not coincidentally has produced social systems and political structures that have dehumanized and transformed the individual into a resource for the state to use and dispose of according to the capricious inclination of dictators and despots.

What they don’t want you to understand is that organizations like Hamas are, in their view, agents of change, catalysts in the struggle of the proletariat in a Marxist materialistic dialectic. Statism, Utopianism, and Marxism are all kissing cousins, and that’s why you often find them making common cause across the geopolitical spectrum. China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and other countries that make up the modern axis of evil share a commonality as ancient as Babylon—they hate the idea of the individual, created in the image of God, imbued with inalienable rights that supersede the interests of the state.

Why do liberals seem to love terrorism so much? Because the significance of the individual is less than nothing in comparison to their political ambition. Of course, they may not admit to themselves the staggering scale of their own inhumanity. But, that’s the whole problem isn’t it? “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
