Joseph's Tomb Beckons
Arutz-7 has learned that our forces in Shechem
(Nablus) are very close to the holy site
of Joseph's Tomb - but are not entering it because the
Arabs booby-trapped it with large
amounts of explosives, ready at any moment to be detonated by remote-control.
It will be recalled that the IDF withdrew from Joseph's Tomb at the beginning of
the Oslo War in what was later to become shamefully remembered as the
"abandonment" of IDF soldier
Madhat Yusuf, who was wounded and bled to death at the holy site; army troops
did not storm the area, but instead negotiated, in vain, with Jibril Rajoub over
the wounded soldier's evacuation.
Although the army does not attribute
great military importance to the holy site, students of the Joseph's Tomb
Yeshiva - "Od Yosef Chai" [Joseph Still Lives] - are launching a public struggle
to change this situation. Yehuda Libman of Yitzhar, one of the heads of the
yeshiva and a long-time student there, spoke with Arutz-7 today:
"I know that in these last 24 hours, our hearts and those of many others are
turned towards this holy site, feeling
that G-d is again giving us a chance, a gift, and a test - and the question is
what we will do with it... We know that Joseph's Tomb is not one of the
army's operational objectives, as
unfortunately the people in charge don't realize just how important the site is
to the national morale and spirit. The Western Wall, for instance, *was*
an operational objective [during the Six-Day War]... The hundreds of calls that
we have received about Joseph's Tomb, even from soldiers, are a clear indication
of the great importance many people attribute to it. Capturing the site would
certainly give great strength to the soldiers, showing them that this war does
not just have temporary objectives to solve a specific immediate problem, but
that there are long-term goals of national and historic significance... We are
trying in various ways to get this message across…"
This may well be the kernel of what is happening in Israel today! The secular interests override the spiritual! A change is in the wind where obedience to God will become the overriding interest in Israel.
The day is coming when the Two Witnesses of Revelation Chapter 11 could proclaim God's call to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple, and the Jews would respond irregardless of the pending response by liberal secular Israelis, Islam, and the world! I fully expect a peace without God is pending, and possibly a blasphemous Islamic Arab Palestinian State? I fully expect the Two Witnesses to upset the secular peace with a mandate from God to build His house (Ezekiel 40 - 48) on the Temple Mount. They will be the first to be changed as the breath of the Holy Spirit moves on the Jews once again. 144,000 Jews will be next as the breath of changed hearts renews a great spiritual return to Old Testament law rightly understood as being centered in the soon returning Lord Jesus Christ as the Messianic King of the Jews. Blood (the book of Leviticus) will again be center to everything taking place in the next Temple.
We are living in extraordinary times! Apostate Christianity is already turning on the Jews. Just listen to the Pope who is one of the most powerful voices of the apostates. World leaders are forcing Israel to accept a heathen Palestinian State in their midst. Secular Jews look to (the Biblical Egypt) the world's peace plans for their security rather then God. Conservative Christianity lies in its feather bed of neither being too hot, or too cold. When shouting a warning of repentance should be the primary message of today; When proclaiming the Kingdom is at hand, the voices of moderation override the enthusiastic. Caution overrides the obvious Biblical noteworthiness of today's news. The Jews are back in the Holy Land! God put the dry bones there to stay forever this time! The Kingdom is all of what is happening this very day! Wake-up Oh sluggards! Get out of that feather bed of cloned conservatism. The winds of dispensational change are blowing.

Isa 30:1-2
30:1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
KJV
Isa 31:1-3
31:1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Mofaz says IDF needs four weeks
By Arieh O'Sullivan
JERUSALEM (April 5) - The IDF needs at least four weeks to carry out planned operations in the West Bank and an additional four weeks to thoroughly demolish the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz said yesterday.
Mofaz also said the IDF believes it is best for Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to be expelled.
"We have found the PA and Arafat are directing, encouraging, and financing the terrorists operations against us. We know that with Arafat the chances of reaching a peace agreement do not exist; as as long as he is here, he will continue to use terror against us. When you weigh it on a scale it is best that he is outside. But this is the IDF position, and in the end the decision is a government one. It has decided to isolate him, and we are respecting this decision," Mofaz told military reporters at his Tel Aviv headquarters.
Should you be interested in the Israeli plan for the present - here it is! Whether the US will let them finish it, and whether it will work is yet to be seen? But, here is what is happening! The dismantling of the PA, and the eventual expulsion of Arafat.
It is all aimed at finding a peace plan that again will exclude God. I'm sure secular Israel is looking for a moderate Palestinian with whom to negotiate after Arafat is gone. I'm afraid Arafat is never going to go away, and that there is no such thing as a moderate Palestinian, or for that matter a moderate Arab, or even a moderate Moslem when it comes to submitting to religious equality with a Jew!
A secular peace plan is in the wind with a Palestinian State as the carrot. The Arabs will not only take the carrot, but the stick, and everything else including the Holy Land. They want the Holy Land to be Islamic, and any Jews allowed to live there be under strict Islamic control. A popular song in Israel has Arafat singing the chorus:
"Give me all your land,
and I will shake your hand."
The problem is the land is not for the world to offer much less for Israel to offer. The land belongs to God alone. We rightfully recognize the Holy Land as unique in all the world. God has taken it out of Islamic control! He did not give it to the Christians, but to the Jews. The Pope has shown his anger as have the Arabs in that God has again allowed the Jews to take possession.
The world is going one direction, and God's plan for the coming Kingdom is going in the exact opposite direction. There is no sharing of the Holy Land in God's eyes either with the Arabs or the Christians. Conflict leading to Armageddon is what is happening from a Biblical perspective. Worldwide hardening of hearts in hate against Jews, and in the process against God is what is happening as the true righteousness of a holy God is in the first stages of being forced on a world that demands the freedom to live without the God of the Bible. They want everyone to have their own god, and all to live in a utopian world of harmony. The Jews returned to the Holy Land has now been forced on the world, and upsets the plan. Secular Judaism is as perplexed as any in how to deal with God's intervention into world plans and events.
I watch with anticipation as God forces the world to submit only to Him, and His plan for the coming Kingdom of Christ as Messiah and Jewish King of the world! All religions, all nations, all governments, all everything must step aside in absolute submission to the coming Kingdom. The destruction of Armageddon (Valley of Jehoshaphat) will be the fate of all rebels.
Dispensational change is what is happening in the news this day!
2 Chron 7:20-22
20Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
21And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

Conflict begins anew debate on end times
By Larry Witham
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The bloody conflict in the Middle East is again turning some evangelicals to the Bible for texts that speak of a final cosmic battle in those ancient lands.
Some scholars and religious leaders warn against being too literal.
As with the founding of Israel in 1948, the Six Day War in 1967, and the Persian Gulf war of 1991, the ongoing violence between Israel and Palestinians is making some Christians think of a biblical-scale showdown ...."I see Israel as the only nation on Earth with a title deed to any real estate," said Hal Lindsey, who popularized the study of Bible prophecy in his 1970 book, "The Late Great Planet Earth." .....
Capital Bible Seminary President Homer Heater, an Old Testament scholar, said Bible prophecy demands a sympathy to Israel but .....
Images of an end time in the Middle East stretch from the Hebrew books of Jeremiah, Zechariah and Daniel to the New Testament's gospel of Matthew and the book of Revelation.
The more apocalyptic interpretations see the return of Jews to Israel, the rise of an anti-Christ, a new world government and a final battle of Armageddon as key features in God's plan. ....
In contrast, evangelicals such as Pat Robertson back Israel, and the Rev. John Hagee, a San Antonio pastor, built an international ministry on interpreting Middle East events....
Most — 72.5 percent — agreed with the statement, "I believe we actually are seeing the start of the war that leads to antichrist and Armageddon." Most of the rest said: "I believe it is coming, but this isn't it."
The press loves to mock the Biblical declaration of the coming wrath of God as foolish dooms-day scenarios. The Christian money changers of today add to the skepticism as they look at how they can cash in on the current events taking place in Israel. The press watches how the money flows, and rightfully recognizes the true motive behind today's professing prophets.
Matt 7:22-23
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
KJVWhat a sad indictment on Christianity during these end times of this present Church age. What a sad state are the professing prophets during this momentous time of dispensational change. Homer Heater is one of those conservative Christians calling for moderation with his "but" while the Bible is crying out that the dispensation of the Church is almost at an end. Israel is in place under the direct hand of God who has intervened in world history. It is ready to fulfill its roll in the next dispensation of the Kingdom age. This is not a time to be moderating! It is time to be calling for repentance, and warning this world the omnipotent God is about to bring in the next dispensation of His Biblical plan for world history! The stone of Daniel is about to crush the feet of the last Gentile powers on planet earth as Armageddon looms. Only a Jewish Kingdom will survive when Christ returns to Jerusalem as Messiah/King. The wrath of the lamb, the LORD of hosts, will destroy all gentile power, and force every individual to either submit to Christ and His Jewish Kingdom rule or die!
The lukewarm Laodicean Church composed of the remnant of the truly saved remains moderate in its feather bed of cloned conservatism. These pampered Christian leaders are fat with the wealth of the American lifestyle, and in need of nothing. They roll aside quietly as the apostate Church of the Great Tribulation blossoms into the gigantic impotent monster which will be but fodder for the Anti-Christ during his short reign. It is all so sad as the Holy Land explodes onto the national news once again.
Will this be the final conflict? I doubt it, but it is without doubt part of those events that will end with the judgment of Armageddon! It began in 1948 when Israel was thrust on the world. It will end with the total destruction of the gentile nations. Israel will finally have rest on earth for 1000 years under the loving care of its King of kings, and LORD of lords.
Dan 2:34-35
34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
KJV
Rev 3:14-17
14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
KJV
Rev 19:15-16
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Holocaust Remembrance Day
Tonight (April 8th) begins Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. The theme for this year’s special day is “Their Last Voice: Letters and Testaments from Jews in the Holocaust.” The official opening ceremony will take place tonight at 8:00 PM, at the Warsaw Ghetto Square, in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem.
President Moshe Katsav and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will participate in the ceremony. Mr. Avner Shalev, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate, will kindle the Holocaust Memorial Torch.
During the ceremony Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau will recite Psalms, and Sephardic Chief Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi Doron will chant the Kaddish prayer. Over 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime between 1941-1945
The world has changed little from those terrible days prior and into World War Two. The same hatred for the Jews is evident in all the protests seen not only in Arab countries, but throughout Europe (especially France). There were no protests against Arab terrorism when they specifically targeted Jewish children, but suddenly great protest arises when Israel responds? It is reminiscent of the silence to Nazi treatment of Jewish children which was so clearly ignored, or given purposed little note during the war years. It was not until non-political American soldiers discovered the death camps that the eyes of the world were forced to face the reality of the inhuman, barbaric hate of the Nazis perpetrated on helpless folks who's only crime was being Jewish. Again, the world takes little note when it is Jewish children being terrorized. The protests only surface when Israel is forced to protect its children from a culture that glorifies to its own children the killing of Jews as something worthy of greatest honor.
The holocaust continues in the hearts of many this very day. The anti-Semitic attitudes of pompous Europeans is a familiar pattern. Another familiar pattern is the defiance of Hitler to the end, and the defiant Arafat hunkered down in his bunker as an Israeli Army of superior force overpowers his pompous visions of Islamic grandeur over the Jews.
It is a dangerous thing to hate Jews. God will not tolerate such behavior in His creation. Jesus Christ is a Jew by plan. All must step aside when this Jewish King returns to Jerusalem to claim His Kingdom. The Nazis thought they could change God's determined plan for the coming Kingdom, and are no more! The Arafat Palestinian culture thinks it can stop God's determined plan for the coming Kingdom! We now are watching the results of such defiance!
Ex 23:31-33
31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Deut 7:1-10
7:1When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Tuesday April 9, 3:46 AM
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul said violence had reached an intolerable level in the Holy Land on Monday and one Roman Catholic group accused the Israeli army of "barbarity" after fighting at Jesus's birthplace in Bethlehem.
"The spiral of violence and armed hostility in the Holy Land -- the land of our Lord's birth, death and Resurrection, a land held sacred by the three great monotheistic religions -- has increased to unimaginable and intolerable levels," the Pope said.
The 81-year-old Pontiff, who visited the Holy Land in 2000, made no specific reference to the fighting at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity in his comments, delivered to members of an American foundation visiting the Vatican.
But Franciscans, whose brother monks are holed up in the Bethlehem church with Palestinians, welcomed the Pope's appeal.
The dead Christ hangs on the cross as this feeble living Pope administers blessings usurping the very power of God as if it was his own. Now, the self-proclaimed administer/mediator/representative clearly takes sides in the present conflict against Israel calling the Jews "barbarians." It is reminiscent of the attitude recently revealed by Billy Graham caught on the hidden Nixon White House tapes. An attitude never repented of, but only apologized for because it was brought into the light. All reasons for a resistant world to secretly, or openly categorize Jews as different from the rest of us. All reasons to resist the coming Jewish Kingdom!
The Roman Catholic self-proclaimed pontiff has good reason to hate the Jews. It is because the world can see the Church of the Nativity is under Jewish control. The Islamic terrorists have only momentarily invaded the Church to use it as a fortress in their battle with the Jews. This Church had been under partial Palestinian control in the past, and the Palestinians were rubbing the pope's nose in the dirt by planning to build an unauthorized Grand Mosque on the front lawn. Israel intervened as the higher authority, and ruled an end to the Palestinian's plan. Yet, the pope would rather have Islam control the Church then the Jews. He knows Roman Catholic theology has robbed the Jews of all future blessings by replacing the Roman Catholic Church in all those future blessings of the Bible that clearly say they are for the Jews. The pope has a major theological problem when the whole world is witness to the literal Jews replacing not just the Roman Catholic Church, but all powers in the Holy Land as the Bible has always predicted. It is reason enough for the pompous Vicar of Rome to hatefully categorize the Jew as a barbarian!
A dispensational change is almost here when the Son shall rule the earth from Jerusalem as the Messianic King of the Jews! All the monolithic religions, all religions, all the nations must step aside for the Son!
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!
2 Sam 22:44-48
44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

7Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

Ps 2
2:1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Sudanese Protest Against Israel
Mon Apr 8,10:42 AM ETBy MOHAMED OSMAN, Associated Press Writer
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Sudanese of all political colors condemned Israel and the United States on Monday, holding one of the biggest demonstrations ever in the capital and calling on Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) to avenge Israel's offensive in the Palestinian territories.
Strike back, bin Laden!" the crowd chanted at a protest that drew hundreds of thousands of people to Khartoum's Martyr's Square for one of several pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Mideast countries including Jordan, Syria and Egypt.
In Baghdad, President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) said Iraq was cutting off oil exports for 30 days or until Israel withdraws from Palestinian territories, an announcement that provoked a jump in world oil prices.
In Jordan, at least 4,000 Palestinians gathered for the funeral of an 11-year-old boy who died Sunday of an injury suffered during an anti-Israeli protest Friday — marched through the dusty streets of Baqaa refugee camp and also called on bin Laden to attack Israel.
"Beloved bin Laden, strike Tel Aviv!" the crowd shouted.
In Sudan, protesters marched a mile in the 104-degree heat to the U.N. offices, where a delegation presented a memorandum warning that the United Nations (news - web sites) must implement U.N. Security Council resolutions demanding an immediate Israeli military withdrawal or lose its credibility.
As with people across the Arab world, the demonstrators accused Washington of heavy bias toward Israel.
The crowd chanted "Down! Down with U.S.A!" and there were roars of approval when the head of the Sudanese Workers Trade Union Federation, Ibrahim Ghandour, urged the crowd to boycott American products. "So no more Coca-Cola," Ghandour said.
Annan takes Israel to task over human rights violations
Wed Apr 10, 9:07 AM ETBy CIARAN GILES, Associated Press Writer
MADRID, Spain - United Nations (news - web sites) Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites), in his harshest condemnation of Israel to date, said Wednesday he was "appalled" by the dire humanitarian situation caused by the Israeli offensive against Palestinians.
He said Israel's hard-hunted crackdown was causing a "mounting humanitarian and human rights crisis" in Palestinian areas.
Annan said this that was unacceptable from a country "that lays claim to democracy."
"I am, frankly, appalled by humanitarian situation, "Annan said after discussing the violence in the Middle East with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites), Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, EU foreign and security chief Javier Solana and Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Pique.
He said Israel's assault was causing "enormous suffering for the innocent civilian population caught up in the hostilities" in the West Bank and Gaza strip (news - web sites).
(12:45) EU, US, UN and Russia call for end to Mideast violence
By Robert Wielaard, The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain - The United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia issued a joint statement today urging Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territories and for both sides to call an immediate cease-fire and prevent the conflict from spreading.
"We call for an immediate, meaningful cease-fire and an immediate Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian cities, including Ramalllah, specifically including Chairman Arafat's headquarters," UN Secretary General Kofi Annan told a news conference.
"We call on Israel to fully comply with international humanitarian principles and to allow full and unimpeded access to humanitarian organziations and services."
Annan was spaking after a four-way meeting in Madrid with US Secretary of State Colin Powell, Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, EU foreign and security chief Javier Solana and Josep Pique, Spain's foreign minister whose country holds the EU presidency.
Powell, touring North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe at a time of the worst Israeli-Palestinian fighting in decades, said in Cairo Tuesday he planned to see Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon this week.
God is painting a reoccurring picture for all to see. When the Kingdom comes, Israel will stand alone! When Jesus Christ comes to Jerusalem to establish His Jewish Kingdom, the Jews will stand alone. As the world so clearly rejects Israel today, so also will it reject the Lord Jesus Christ when He comes again as the conquering King to establish His Kingdom. The heart of man is not going to change. The Bible says the hearts of the Jews will change. God will soon send the Holy Spirit to breath life into the Jews of Israel. First, the Church of only those who are truly saved will be taken out of this world at the coming rapture leaving only Apostate Christianity to turn on the Jews. That will theologically open the way for a return to the Bible, and Old Testament law. The merging of Old and New Testaments will finally be accomplished. A perfect Old Testament law centered in the blood of the New Testament Christ. A Temple will be the first order of business where blood sacrifice, and the return to the book of Leviticus will again legally and acceptably be presented to the world in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice at Calvary.
The great obstacle to building the Temple on the Temple Mount is Islam. Primarily the Arafat, Islamic, Arab, culture now fighting to the death to prevent the Jews from their destiny of building that Temple. A false secular peace is what I see coming. A peace without God, and without changed hearts. A peace that will lead to the greatest Jihad in Islamic history. An invasion of Israel while she rests on the word of the Western World to provide her security. Sadly, the picture will be painted again, and Israel will find herself abandoned. Israel will again stand alone. This time some in Israel will have had their hearts changed. They will turn to the Lord of hosts (Christ) of the Old Testament Who will deliver all of Israel for their sake, and destroy Islam on the mountains and fields of the Holy Land. The Temple will be built, and functioning in just 3 1/2 years! The Anti-Christ will desecrate that Temple after it is completed, and again Israel will stand alone. Many more Jews and some gentile converts will be saved through the fire of trial and tribulation as the Jews face total rejection by a world of Anti-Christ euphoria. The Messiah at His coming will find Israel standing alone, and about to be destroyed by the world powers on their way to a final showdown in the valley of Armageddon.
It will be then that the Kingdom will come. Israel will be delivered. The nations of the gentile world will be destroyed by the hand of the LORD of hosts! A second great feast for the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the field will take place as will have happened earlier at the destruction of the Last Jihad. Israel will stand alone! The Anti-Christ and his cohort the false prophet will be the first to be cast into the lake of fire for all future eternity when the Kingdom is established. The rest will be slain to await in death their final judgment as already meted out to the Anti-Christ and false prophet!
The lion will finally lie down with the lamb as God brings the perfect peace of His Kingdom to all the world!
Zech 14:1-4
14:1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Rev 19:17-21
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Jewish school bus attacked with stones in Paris
Wed Apr 10, 4:05 PM ET
PARIS - A school bus carrying Jewish students in Paris was bombarded with stones Wednesday, news reports said, drawing immediate condemnation from the Paris mayor and renewed pleas for religious tolerance.
Synagogues and Jewish schools and cemeteries around the country have been targeted, often with firebombs, in the last two weeks. In the most serious case, a Marseille synagogue was burned to the ground on March 31.

(12:55) Romanians revere Hitler's local henchman
By George Jahn, The Associated Press
BUCHAREST, Romania - He was Hitler's Romanian henchman, widely implicated in the killing of tens of thousands of Gypsies and Jews. Yet busts and portraits of Ion Antonescu adorn public places, and many consider him a hero.
An attitude is clearly emerging as Israel responds to the indiscriminate murder of it's citizens, and the specific targeting of it's children. It is not just the Palestinians who show their hatred by targeting Jewish children. It is not just the Palestinians who show their hate by hero worship of those who's only rise to prominence is their wholesale murder of Jews. It is an attitude of blind hate against Jews that the God of the Bible will not tolerate. Jesus Christ is not a gentile Christian, but a Jew by plan and purpose. He is of the Tribe of Judah, and in the linage of King David. It is this Jewish Christ who is coming again to Jerusalem. It is with this Jewish Christ that the world has an attitude! It is the kind of puritanical Kingdom that He will force on a resistant world. The freedom to do it my way will no longer be tolerated! The rules of the Kingdom will be based on righteousness, and the freedom to boldly, and openly sin will find the rod of iron wielded in immediate judgment. The pornographers will find death if they refuse to repent. The Budweiser crowd will be crushed never again to put the poison of societal destruction to their lips. Regular attendance in worship of the King of Kings and Lord of lords will not be an option during the Kingdom era. All religions, all governments, all nations will submit to this Jewish Christ and His Kingdom, or die. The lifestyle of planet earth will never be the same as the next Biblical dispensation of the Kingdom takes control. Righteousness will rule, and for the first time mankind will experience real peace. A peace that requires changed hearts in absolute submission to the only perfect King. Rebels will not be tolerated. Hypocrites will be rooted out by the King who can see the heart.
The Bible reveals many attributes of God. One of those attributes is inseparably linked with the preservation of the Jews who will be the foundation of the coming Kingdom dispensation. It is encompassed within the term "the Lord of hosts." It will be a fearful day when the Lord of hosts manifests His power on a world with an attitude.
Ps 24:8-10
8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Red Heifer Born in Israel
10 April 2002
Less than one month ago, a red heifer was born in Israel. After the heifer´s owner contacted the Temple Institute, on Friday, April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers, Chapter 19, a prerequisite for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
In 1997, another red heifer was born on the religious kibbutz, Kfar Hassidim, but by 1998 it had become unfit for ritual use when hairs on its tail were found to be whitening, rendering it not totally red.
Tradition records that a red heifer (parah adumah) in our generation is a herald of the Messianic era. It is certainly an important development towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel’s redemption can be compared to the dawn: “In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter.”
Pictures of the heifer may be viewed at:
http://www.templeinstitute.org/current-events/RedHeifer/index.html
This may well be the most important news story to come out of the Middle East even in the midst of all the present conflict effecting the entire world. A miracle has happened, the hand of God has clearly been manifested on behalf of Israel, and the building of the next Jewish Temple. The first time in 2000 years a natural kosher red heifer has been born! Islam has said of the former announcement of the red heifer that failed to qualify as kosher that it was at that time the primary target of an Islamic nuclear attack. This truly kosher red heifer at this time can only stir the heathen Islamic world to rage beyond imagination.
It will not be just Islam that will rage when Israel announces it is going to build the next Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The pope as well as the potentates of every world power will rent their robes in absolute defiant anger that Israel would claim a mandate from the God of the Bible (which has now been manifested) for the building of the next Jewish Temple. The present conflict will pale in comparison to a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The final conflict between a resistant world, and the coming Kingdom is now engaged! The hate against a Jewish Jerusalem is about to erupt into total rejection of the Jews by the entire world! Total rejection of the coming Jewish Kingdom!
My personal thoughts are that the Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 will be the powder keg that makes the announcement of the Temple! It will spark the greatest Jihad in Islamic history, and the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39 where Islam will be eradicated as an influence on world events. A false peace is what I expect first, and then the announcement!
A return to Old Testament Biblical law is in the wind; A return to the book of Leviticus, and blood sacrifice as a remembrance is in the wind as the dispensation of the Kingdom approaches!
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!
Num 19:1-10
19:1And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
3And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
4And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
8And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
10And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

Sunday animation: Implications of Arafat rejection
John 3:16
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
KJV
Have You Heard, Or Have You Been Kept Ignorant?
In the last two weeks of Operation Defensive Shield, Israel has set up a special media center inside the large Jerusalem Convention Center and has been giving daily briefings to reporters on the current operations, who is being captured or killed, and what is being seized. At each briefing, a cabinet minister and an IDF official speak and present the latest findings.
The initiative mirrors US-style briefings on the war in Afghanistan and is aimed at hammering home the message that Israel is also fighting its own brand of global terror.
To assist in the critical public relations effort, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has brought on his two immediate predecessors-in-office, Binyamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, to serve as quasi-official spokesmen for the government.
The IDF reckons it has killed several hundred armed Palestinian militants and detained over 4,000 suspects, including 120 wanted hard-core terrorists in its recent military campaign. In addition, thousands of illegal firearms have been confiscated, along with explosives and homicide bomber belts and disguises. The army has also demolished dozens of weapons factories and bomb labs.
While these seizures hopefully will help reduce the level of terrorism now confronting Israelis, perhaps the most important find is the raft of documents directly connecting Arafat and his Palestinian Authority to the Fatah terror militias, the Tanzim and Al-Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, and even with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
As terror attacks have resumed in recent days, some may say the extensive operations failed in their mission to "root out" Palestinian terrorism, but the mound of evidentiary proof could have a lasting effect by forcing the US and other nations to reassess their long-term relations with Arafat and the Palestinian Authority. The Bush team, in particular, is quite aware their doctrine of "zero tolerance for terrorism" is now at stake.
The media bends over backward to present balanced reporting of the Middle East crises. How often I hear Palestinian representatives reek with their repetitive lies, and tongue in cheek programmed distortions when pressed on issues. I've yet to hear a single news briefing from Jerusalem? I don't even hear a summary at the end of the day. Its as if Operation Defensive Shield is just a destructive secret operation known only to the Jews. When a Jewish sniper accidentally shot a Monk in Bethlehem, and at the briefing Israel took responsibility for the tragedy; That admission made it out to the world. When an anonymous Palestinian with no factual evidence said a massacre took place in Jenin; That made it out to the world media. The real secret is what is openly being explained to an uninterested press in Jerusalem. It is similar to the secret of what the Bible openly says about salvation in Christ.
There will never be an excuse that someone missed salvation because the news folks kept it secret. There will also never be an excuse of ignorance about the coming Kingdom because the media failed to report it. The truth is the world wants to be ignorant of Christ. They want to be ignorant of His first coming, and this generation wants to remain ignorant of His second coming.
The headlines are not the place to find what God is doing in the world today. The news folks are ignorant of the Bible. They never studied it in journalism class. They only ignorantly mock it as insignificant, and not fit for newsworthiness.
The latest news reporting shows Arafat joining Christianity into his Islamic battle against the Jews. It is true that Apostate Christianity has more in common with the heathen Moslems then with a soon coming return to the Bible among the Jews. The media never report the open change that takes place in the lives of repentant sinners who turn to Christ, but they will report the hypocrisy of all the phony religions of the world as if credible.
12:15) Arafat addresses mass Cairo church gathering
By Sarah El Deeb, The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt - Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat told a packed Cairo cathedral last night that he will defend "sacred holy land" sites in the face of Israeli aggression and called the siege on the Church of Nativity a "crime."
Speaking by cell phone from his West Bank compound in Ramallah, Arafat told some 5,000 people at the Abbassiya Cathedral that the "Palestinian people will die in defending ourselves" against Israeli attacks on Palestinian territories.
In a show of national solidarity, top Christian and Muslim leaders, gathered with political figures, artists and community chiefs for the National Conference for the Support of the Palestinian People.
"The (Israeli) occupation is going beyond limits, not only against ... our children, our women ... (but) against our Christian and Muslim sanctuaries," Arafat said.

Calls begin for war crimes trial for Israelis
By Nicholas Kralev
THE WASHINGTON TIMESPalestinian sympathizers in Europe and the Arab world called yesterday for the Israeli government to be investigated for war crimes, raising the prospect that leaders of the Jewish state could be among the first targets of the new International Criminal Court. That court became a reality yesterday at a U.N. signing ceremony in New York, with representatives of 66 countries that have ratified the treaty establishing the first global war-crimes tribunal. The United States denounced the treaty as a violation of international law.
With the U.S. seat in the hall empty, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan vowed that "those who commit war crimes, genocide or other crimes against humanity will no longer be beyond the reach of justice."
As the Israeli incursion in the West Bank showed no signs of abating yesterday despite Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's arrival in Israel, an Israeli-Arab legislator suggested that members of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Cabinet be investigated for "war crimes" in the occupied Palestinian territories.
What will this world court rule when the Lord Jesus Christ demands absolute submission to His Kingdom or death? A far harsher penalty then the Palestinians are paying today for their culture of nurturing their own children to kill Jews. A far harsher penalty then for the Palestinian specific targeting of Jewish Children for maiming and death. It is clear that Kofi Aman will find the world agreeing with war crime indictments against the Jewish Christ when He comes to establish His Kingdom. The indictment will surly include all the accompanying saints and angels as anger boils over against God's righteousness replacing all religious freedom, all governments, all individual rights to sinful freedom of self expression. The hate and anger of the world against Israel today will be 1000 fold increased when Christ comes again. The Lord Jesus Christ will demand cultural change; He will demand changed hearts for any who will be allowed entrance into His coming Kingdom! All others, all rebels will be given death!
The Lord of hosts is mighty in battle. No quarter is asked, and no quarter is given. There is no bargaining, there is no compromise! There will be no rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ when the Lord of hosts moves across the entire planet. This world court will find only separation as goats by the Lord of hosts as He quickly searches the heart, and makes His determination. The cost of true righteousness will become abundantly clear to all the religious hypocrites of today.
It just can't be any other way! It is Christ or nothing! It is the blood of His sacrifice that the world must be continually reminded during Temple worship in His Kingdom. It is not a place for rebels who demand freedom to set up their own standards; Who would put democratic vote above the ordinances of God Almighty.
Matt 25:32-33

(12:10) IDF: Bodies of dead Palestinians booby-trapped
Army forces are continuing mopping-up operations in the northern West Bank city of Jenin at this hour.
There are reports of intermittent sniping at soldiers, Israel Radio said.
IDF sources said many of the bodies of Palestinians killed in fighting over the last two weeks were booby-trapped and that was one of the reasons journalists and Red Cross teams were not allowed into the camp until this morning.
The curfew has also been lifted for the time being so camp residents can stock up on foodstuffs.
Reporters on the scene report seeing no bodies strewn in the steets of the city, contrary to earlier Palestinians reports of an Israeli massacre.

Sharon says U.S. backs regional conference
By Aluf Benn and Shlomo Shamir
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said yesterday that he expects that a regional conference will convene in the near future to discuss political arrangements in the Middle East and focus on regional development.
Sharon said that he proposed to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell a conference in which Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and "Palestinian representatives" participate, led by the U.S. He said that Syria and Lebanon would also be invited to participate.
According to Sharon, "the idea is acceptable to the U.S." but there has been no confirmation from Powell's entourage or Washington. Time Magazine is reporting in today's issue that Powell has an overall plan that includes an immediate declaration of a Palestinian state, Israeli withdrawal from settlements in Gaza, and an international conference to decide on the final borders of the Palestinian state.
This may be the false secular peace without God that is expected before the Last Jihad of Ezekiel 38 & 39? What makes it so appealing from a Biblical perspective is that all the Islamic countries mentioned (near neighbors of Israel) are not specifically mentioned as part of the Islamic invasion forces of the Ezekiel invasion. The Bible is silent about Egypt's roll though the Islamic hordes coming up from North Africa need to pass through Egypt on their way to Israel. The same is true of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan as the hordes from the North (Chief Prince of the Gog, Gomer, and Togarmah), and from the East (Persia = Iran and Iraq) must pass through on their way to death in the mountains and fields of Israel. It seems clear that many Moslems from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan today would join the invasion, but treaties might force those countries from official participation? It may be why Ezekiel does not mention them specifically? The Saudi ties to the West would clearly exclude them from participating officially. A blasphemous Palestinian State would also be tied to the West by treaty though the hate would not prevent individuals, or new terrorist organizations from joining in.
Whatever, the end result will be the end of Islamic influence on the world. The end result will be the removal of the great obstacle to building the next Jewish Temple. The end result will be the need of a new all encompassing treaty this time with the antichrist as leader of the Western world. The end result will be the Temple needed for the coming Kingdom; The only Biblical Temple with a throne (where the antichrist at 3-1/2 years will sit usurping the second coming of Christ taking place in just another 3-1/2 years). A Third Jewish Temple will be built on the Temple Mount where the two previous Temples were built. It will need divine direction for both the building of the physical structure, and proper kosher spiritual worship procedures within which I believe the Two Jerusalem Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 will provide.
The Kingdom is closer then the feather bed Christians of today are willing to concede. Events in Israel cry out that the Biblical structures needed for the next dispensation are coming into place. The Church must step aside for Israel to fulfill her destiny as the center of the coming Kingdom. Blood sacrifice by Jews in Ezekiel's Temple must again be presented to this sin filled world as a remembrance of the only sacrifice acceptable for the forgiveness of sin. The King of kings and Lord of lords, the lamb of God, must sit on the throne demonstrating that sin has been forever defeated.
Ezek 43:7
7And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

Rev 11:1-14
11:1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

express his solidarity with them, the Vatican said Tuesday.Pope telephones Franciscans in Bethlehem church
ROME (Reuters) - Pope John Paul has telephoned Franciscan monks holed up in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to
Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said the Pope spoke Monday afternoon to Father Ibrahim Faltas, Catholic head of the shrine. "The Pope thanked them for their
Christian witness and sent them his blessing in this moment of particular difficulty," the statement said.Israeli soldiers have surrounded the church which Christians believe stands on the site of the birthplace of Jesus, for about two weeks in a standoff with about
100 Palestinians inside. They include gunmen and dozens of Christian clerics."
The monks were extremely pleased by this extraordinary gesture. This was not a media opportunity. The Pope does not call people every day," said Father David Jaeger, spokesman for the Franciscan custodians of Holy Land sites.Israel has said it has no intention of storming the church, and has proposed a deal under which the
gunmen would surrender and be tried in a military court or go into exile "forever."The Palestinian governor of Bethlehem, who is among those inside the sanctuary, has
rejected the plan.
The Pope and the Catholic Church refuse to call this a hostage situation. They claim the Church is in their complete control only offering refuge to the beleaguered Palestinians. Yesterday, two Israeli soldiers were wounded from sniper fire coming from the Church of the Nativity. Now let's be fair! If the Pope and the Catholic Church control the situation, then they also must be allowing the Palestinians to use that Church as a fortress from where to kill Jews. During World War Two the US bombed Casino into oblivion rather then sacrifice American soldiers to the German controlled monastery. Israel is showing much more restraint.
This is all so stupid! The hate of the Pope and the Catholic Church for Jews is just so obvious. They always side against the Jews no matter how dumb the situation becomes. Only last month the Palestinians were threatening to build a Grand Mosque on the front lawn of the Church of the Nativity which is in a Palestinian controlled area. It is no wonder that this same Church is in the news again revealing the truth of where the official Roman Catholic policy stands! The Pope and the Church did not blame the Palestinians for the Grand Mosque demands, but blamed Israel for allowing the Palestinians to propose such a ridiculous plan. It is like a broken record that repeats and repeats. Blame every problem, every situation that does not go the way you want on the Jews. Blame the Jews for control over the media as Billy Graham was caught expressing on the secret Nixon tapes. Blame the Jews for the present siege of the Church of the Nativity. Today, every Jew killer living in Bethlehem knew right where to run when the Israeli army entered the city putting an end to their cowardly acts. The Pope calls this sham refuge of the killers of Jewish Children who continue trying to kill Jews while in the Church as an example of "Christian witness." I can now understand how the "Christian Witness" of the Pope and the Catholic Church will work when the antichrist sits on the throne in the next Jewish Temple usurping the authority of the coming Kingdom, and Jewish Messiah!
It is no wonder to me that God would use this exact time to reveal to the world just how corrupt this Roman Catholic system really is! The corruption of the pedophile priests pales in comparison to the corruption of the heart yet to be revealed when God brings in the Kingdom age!

German Bishop Quits Amid Sex Abuse Allegations
Tue Apr 16, 1:09 PM ETMAINZ, Germany (Reuters) - A German bishop resigned on Tuesday after allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman during an exorcism, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Church in Mainz said.
A spokesman for the archdiocese of Mainz said Auxiliary Bishop Franziskus Eisenbach, 58, had denied the allegations and his decision to resign was not an admission of guilt.
The Roman Catholic Church has been rocked by a series of scandals after a number high-profile figures have been linked to sexual abuse.
The Vatican (news - web sites) said on Tuesday it hoped an extraordinary meeting of U.S. cardinals next week would help restore trust in the American Roman Catholic Church after pedophilia scandals.

The First Piece of the Holy Land that became Jewish!
Gen 23:9
9That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.

Ben Eliezer authorizes 16 permanent structures in Hebron
By Akiva Eldar, Ha'aretz Correspondent
According to a report published in the al-Quds
weekly, Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer authorized the
building of 16
structures at the Tel Rumeida archeological site in the West Bank city of
Hebron.
The defense minister's office said in response that, "in light of the recent
shooting attacks at the Jewish settlement in Tel Rumeida, the defense minister
decided several months ago to enable the replacement of seven of the caravans
there and in their place to have only tougher structures."
Hebron is a hot bed of trouble between Jews and Palestinians. The place of the cave of Machpelah is center to the conflict. It is the first piece of the promised land that became Jewish. Jews were forbidden to visit the site of the burial place of father Abraham all the while Jordan ruled Samaria and Judah (the West Bank). After the six day war of 1967, Jews for the first time went to the Tomb and prayed. They did not treat the Moslems as they were treated, but rather allowed the Moslems to oversee the site. The Jews only forced on the Islamic world their right to visit and pray. When the Israeli army pulled out of Hebron keeping their part of the Oslo peace accords, the Arabs immediately harassed, and even killed Jews who tried to visit the site.
The secular government of Israel has little interest in the spiritual value of the cave of Machpelah, but the more spiritual Jews are willing to face the wrath and even death from the Arab population just to pray at this special place. It appears that the Israeli army is leaving behind some safeguards for those Jews willing to pass through the Arab gauntlet as they withdraw from Hebron. I have no doubt the Arabs will make these protective structures appear like they threaten a World War Three scenario. The intent by the Arabs is to deny the Jews their Biblical heritage. The Arab world has an agenda. They watch as God gives the Jews more and more control of the Holy Land. They think they can stop what God is doing by stopping the Jews from praying. It is just not going to happen!
Gen 23:17-20
17And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
18Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
19And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.

9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

32The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.

9And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
10And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
12And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
13For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

Arms from Iraq, Iran found near Arafat HQ
By Amos Harel
The IDF has discovered weapons smuggled from Iraq and Iran in the Muqata complex surrounding the Ramallah office of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, according to Israel defense sources.
The weapons uncovered during Operation Defensive Shield include Soviet-made RPG launchers that were modified by Iraq. The defense sources said the Iraqi weaponry was probably smuggled into the territories in Arafat's helicopters, which have since been damaged and grounded by the IDF.
The army also found Iranian-made RPG anti-tank rockets in the Muqata area. These rockets feature improved capabilities for piercing armor. Following the capture of the Karine A arms shipment from Iran in January, the Palestinians have continued their efforts to smuggle weaponry into the PA, defense sources said, noting that Iran and Iraq remain the primary arms suppliers for the Palestinians.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein recently announced that Iraq would increase the amount of money it sends to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
The present leadership of both Iran and Iraq (Old Persia) are not particularly popular among their people. They control by brutality in a system which allows only leaders of greater brutality then themselves to ever replace them. There seems to be one issue that these brutalized Moslems can still unite behind their unpopular leaders, and that is hate for the Jews. It is no surprise that God in the Bible has singled out Old Persia of the latter days (our days) for invasion and destruction in the mountains and fields of Israel. The lesson of humiliation as is happening to the proud Palestinians will only be repeated.
It is hate for which the God of the Bible will deal so harshly with the Persians of the latter days (our days). The hate for Jews is really hate for the coming Jewish Kingdom. All the world is witness to increasing Jewish control over the Holy Land. Even secularized Judaism is confused over how to deal with the control thrust upon them. They sense a divine hand behind events, but are still blind to the direction God is taking them. True Christianity must step aside leaving only the corrupt Apostate Christianity of the latter days (our days) before the blindness of the Jews will be removed. Not all Jews will be saved at first. A return to the Bible, a return to the law centered in the shed blood of Christ will grow through great trial and tribulation in the land of Israel. A renewal of Biblical Judaism is where God is leading the Jews. A Kingdom of righteousness ruled by the only perfect Jewish King.
The hate of the world will surpass its present hate of a blinded Israel. The rejection of Christ by the world will be as great as it was at His first coming, but the Jew will turn to Him for redemption this time. It will be for the hate that the world will be humiliated at Armageddon. Today, the Palestinians face humiliation and death. Tomorrow, it will be Islam of which Old Persia will be a key player. Then, the whole world! The final victor will be Christ to whom all must humbly submit (must be humiliated as hopelessly lost in sin), or die!

16:1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

UN RIGHTS FORUM BACKS PALESTINIAN TERRORISM
Six members of the European Union joined 44 other countries on Tuesday in endorsing a United Nations document that condones violence as a way to achieve Palestinian statehood.
They were voting as members of the UN Human Rights Commission on a resolution that accuses Israel of a long list of human rights violations, but makes no mention of suicide bombings of Israeli civilians, according to the National Post. The measure expresses support for the use of "all available means, including armed struggle" to establish a Palestinian state.
Canada, Guatemala and the Czech Republic, along with EU members Britain and Germany, opposed the resolution, while 40 countries on the 53-member commission voted affirmative and seven abstained. EU members Austria, Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain and Sweden approved the resolution, and Italy abstained.
Wiesenthal raps EU endorsement of terror
By Herb Keinon
The Simon Wiesenthal Center sent letters of protest earlier this week expressing "disgust and outrage" to the Tel Aviv embassies of the six EU countries who voted for a virulently anti-Israel UN resolution Monday condoning Palestinian terror.
Reporters Back Down From Jenin "Massacre" Reports
In Jenin, too, the army has withdrawn its forces from the terrorist stronghold neighborhood in which the fierce battles of the previous two weeks took place. The soldiers continue to surround the area.
After almost two weeks of "Jenin Massacre!" headlines, the world press has been forced to face the truth: There was none. Journalist David Bedein of Israel Resource News Agency reports that since Sunday, when the IDF began allowing reporters into Jenin, the real story has turned out to be somewhat less dramatic than that which some of them had been reporting. Washington Post correspondent Molly Moore wrote, "Interviews with residents inside the camp and international aid workers who were allowed here for the first time today indicated that no evidence has yet surfaced to support allegations by Palestinian groups and aid organizations of large-scale massacres or executions by Israeli troops."
This contrasted strongly, for instance, with the way James Bennet opened his report from Jenin for The New York Times last Friday: "Palestinians here describe bodies cut in pieces, bodies scooped up by bulldozers and buried in mass graves, bodies deliberately concealed under collapsed buildings. They describe people drinking out of sewers and people used by Israeli soldiers as human shields." Bedein notes that Bennet's report "did very little to challenge the tendentiousness and questionable nature of such 'eyewitness' testimony."
The Jenin Massacre is now part of Islamic folklore that will never be changed!
There is little hope for a world that has one standard for the Jew, and another standard for all the generic hypocrites. ABC's Nightline even turned its anti-Semitism report into acceptable Jew bashing by putting the straw-man of simple criticism into the same category thus making Jews appear like they can't be criticized. They do the opposite thing to fundamental Christians who criticize homosexuals by turning their simple criticisms into bashing. The hate and treatment of Jews, and fundamental Christians have a lot in common. The world would rather do without both groups. God is not forcing fundamental Christianity on the world very much anymore. The fiery preachers who stood on the Bible, and against apostasy such as exemplified by Roman Catholicism are of the past. Today, the Evangelicalism of Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, and the like are mainstream having entered into a love affair of tolerance that has turned "separation," and "doctrine" into dirty words. The voice of fundamentalism is but a whisper anymore. "Don't Rock The Boat" is at the top of the charts. Born again Christianity has been hijacked by the apostates with hardly a whimper from this generation of fundamentalists. Doctrine if preached as the Bible presents it would rip apart the feather bed, compromised, conservative Christian Churches of today.
The world is soon to get half its wish anyway. The feather bed fundamentalists who are neither hot or cold are soon to be removed from the world scene leaving only Apostate Christianity in its wake. It won't be much of an impact on the world in my estimation as these guardians of the Bible who hid it under a bushel are pulled out of the way to make room for a return to the Bible by the Jews. The world will find the Biblical Jews forced upon it more and more. The hate will also grow more and more as hearts harden against purity and righteousness as defined by the Biblical Christ. The Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 will exemplify the kind of Biblical Judaism apostate Rome will have to contend with as they make Jerusalem the capital of all God will be doing after the fundamentalists are gone!
Rev 11:1-14
11:1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

From time to time it is good to dwell on the blessings. The curse of tribulation is almost overwhelming these days, but God is still evidencing His love in the midst of turmoil. It does not take much searching to see the hand of God. How often as man is perpetrating his inhumanity to his fellows does the mercy of God shine through. The greatest of Christian testimonies are those that come out of the most hopeless of situations. When man is about doing his worse, God can be found doing His best. Fox's Book of Martyrs should be must reading for every Christian. Soon, those same testimonies will be evidenced among Biblical Jews of Israel. Changed hearts come with a price! The greatest tribulation Israel has ever experienced is closing in on the Holy Land. Adolph Hitler and Yasser Arafat will appear as nothing more then kindergarten bullies when compared to the coming antichrist. Jacob's trouble is a time of which the world has never seen in horrific inhumanity targeted primarily against the Jews. The world is on its way to the self-destruction of Armageddon. Mankind is on its way to new depths of inhuman treatment to all falling victim in the coming times of the great tribulation.
God does His best work among the weak, and the poor. The proud and powerful have the wrath of God to face at the end of their reigns. The weak who turn to Christ find eternal life. It is often difficult for many to see God working in times of trouble. A little searching with open eyes is usually all it takes.
Jer 30:7-11
7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
KJV
Isa 13:6-9
6Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
KJV
Joel 3:13-14
13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
KJV

15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

New! Read The Tribulation Temple by DDSrail - April 20, 2002
Rev 16:16-17

17And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

What is it that the Palestinians have going for them?
When IDF forces raided his Ramallah compound in late March, they unearthed mountains of documents and war materiel directly linking Arafat to the Fatah militias engaged in a brutal campaign of terror against innocent Israeli civilians. The perception that the Tanzim and Al- Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were offshoots acting independently or in defiance of Arafat was forever shredded.
There were explosives, vests, kippas and other garb used to equip stealthy suicide bombers. There were millions of counterfeit dollars and shekels to fuel the terror network from top to bottom.
And there were those "terror invoices," with Arafat's own signature authorising funds for the making of bombs and to pay the monthly salaries of Fatah operatives. Those "fighter brethren" who were planning and carrying out "quality attacks" - meaning suicide missions inside Israel - were always paid more.
He was paying for all those posters plastered around Palestinian cities glorifying the immortal shaheeds of the intifada. And he was paying for those tent celebrations outside family homes to honour the "heroic martyrdom operations" of their sons... and daughters.
The only answer is that among the news media, right up to world leaders (from bottom to top) there is blind hate for Jews, and the first stages of the expanding Jewish Kingdom. There can be no other answer for the respectability given the Palestinians. The Jews understand the reality of anti-Semitism. They understand how the pressure of anti-Semitism works on even their best supporters. They have not forgotten the lessons of World War Two.
The secular Jews have put on their game face for dealing with a world of hate. They will do what they must to survive while speaking compromise, peace, and a Palestinian State. The frustration is growing by those who are realizing they are only being used as the Jews play the game. It appears Arafat is finished as is the PA though the Jews may give lip service to him if it is to their advantage. The Islamic spokespersons sound like a bunch of cry babies as the game they played is now being played on them.
The sad part of all this is that the God of the Bible is not a God of subtlety. I have no doubts the Jews can play the game much better then Islam, but this is not the direction that God would have His children go. I'm convinced an honest secular peace is impossible with Islam. I have no doubt the reason why Ezekiel 38 & 39 is in the Bible is because honest peace between Arab and Jew can never happen. A false peace is still in the cards. In the end, God must eliminate Islam because it will never submit. It is not just Islam that has a problem with the God of the Bible. The whole world in a short seven years after God deals with Islam will face the same judgment. Armageddon is one of the few truths of the Bible that the world seems to have grasped. It will be no game when the blood runs up to the bridal of the horses.
Rev 14:15-15:1
15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

A Note of Interest
GUEST COLUMN: How the British fought terror in Jenin
By Rafael Medoff
(April 18) 'Demolishing the homes of Arab civilians... Shooting handcuffed prisoners... Forcing local Arabs to test areas where mines may have been planted..."
These sound like the sort of accusations made by British and other European officials concerning Israel's recent actions in Jenin. In fact, they are descriptions from official British documents concerning the methods used by the British authorities to combat Palestinian Arab terrorism in Jenin and elsewhere in 1938.
The documents were declassified by London in 1989. They provide details of the British Mandatory government's response to the assassination of a British district commissioner by a Palestinian Arab terrorist in Jenin in the summer of 1938.
Even after the suspected assassin was captured (and then shot dead while allegedly trying to escape), the British authorities decided that "a large portion of the town should be blown up" as punishment. On August 25 of that year, a British convoy brought 4,200 kilos of explosives to Jenin for that purpose.
In the Jenin operation and on other occasions, local Arabs were forced to drive "mine-sweeping taxis" ahead of British vehicles in areas where Palestinian Arab terrorists were believed to have planted mines, in order "to reduce [British] landmine casualties."
The British authorities frequently used these and similar methods to combat Palestinian Arab terrorism in the late 1930s.

Le Pen's poll success leaves France in turmoil
By Robert Graham and Raphael Minder in Paris and FT.com staff
Published: April 21 2002 19:00 | Last Updated: April 22 2002 11:21
Jacques Chirac seems set to retain the French presidency for a second term after a disgruntled electorate on Sunday gave a huge protest vote to Jean-Marie Le Pen, the hard right leader of the National Front, ejecting Socialist premier Lionel Jospin from the second round contest.
But Mr Le Pen's shock progress to the second round of voting, where Mr Chirac is expected to win a straight run-off with a huge margin, has thrown the French political landscape into turmoil after the biggest electoral upset of the post-war period.
Emerging victorious from the first round, Mr Chirac immediately sought to rally the nation with a warning of a threat to democracy should the extremist 73-year-old Mr Le Pen - who led the voting in nine of France's 22 electoral regions - be elected France's next head of state. ....
Le Pen, who once called the Holocaust a detail of history, played down some of his more extreme rhetoric during the campaign, which he focused on law and order in a response to widespread public concern over rising crime.
He dismissed the fascist label some of his opponents have given him in remarks on French television.
Anti-Semitism has reached new heights in France with this upset victory that put Le Pen into the run-off for the presidency. It is equivalent to David Duke the KKK Grand Wizard of Jew hate wining the presidential nomination of the Democrat or Republican Party. The French press has closed it's eyes as has the government to the rising hate for Jews. This reality check is now openly articulated for all the world to see. It will spark new vigor in Islamic circles, and is sure to encourage more homicidal bombers to attack Israel.
The Bible speaks of the antichrist rising to power from a ten nation Western confederacy. A confederacy that will make a peace treaty with Israel, but only a tongue in cheek treaty. The true anti-Semitism of the Western world will be in the background as the game of secular peace is played. The antichrist will be the perfect leader of the West. His anti-Semitic attitude will be no secret, but his words for 3 1/2 years will be sweet with peace used only for deception. It will not be much different from what we hear over the English media from Yasser Arafat. Sweet words of peaceful intent while the heart motivates murderous Jew killing conduct. Le Pen represents the direction that Europe is heading, and soon all the West. It should be no shock when the antichrist sits on the throne in the Third Jewish Temple demanding all the Jews to worship Him! I suppose some will be shocked, but they would also be shocked to learn Yasser Arafat wants to be the Palestinian messiah some day entering victoriously into Jerusalem forcing all the Jews to bow to him! I can only wonder at the visions of grandeur Le Pen, and those Westerners like him have in mind for the Jews?
The Kingdom is at hand. Seven years of tribulation with the antichrist ruling for the last 3 1/2 years is near. The coming of the Kingdom means defeat for the antichrist, false prophet, and Satan himself will be bound for a thousand years. Open anti-Semitism will not raise its ugly head until Satan is loosed for but a season at the end of the 1000 years. One final rebellion against Jerusalem, and the Jewish Kingdom will take place before the final judgment. Today, a new dispensation is in the making. Biblical Judaism with a Jewish King from the tribe of Judah, and the linage of King David is being prepared to rule the world. The Old Testament and New Testament will merge into the Kingdom age. The next Biblical dispensation.
Dan 7:7-8
7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
KJV
Dan 7:20-22
20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
KJV
Dan 7:24-28
24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Pope Speaks Out Against Abuse but Leaves Room for 'Conversion'
By MELINDA HENNEBERGER
ROME, April 23 — Pope John Paul II opened today's meetings with American cardinals on clerical sex scandals with a strongly worded apology to victims, but he sent conflicting signals on a proposed one-strike-and-you're-out policy for priests who abuse minors.
"People need to know that there is no place in the priesthood and religious life for those who would harm the young," the pope said, in what several church leaders said was by far the most direct speech he has ever given on the topic. He said such sexual abuse is "by every standard wrong and is rightly considered a crime by society; it is also an appalling sin in the eyes of God."
But the pope also said: "We cannot forget the power of Christian conversion, that radical decision to turn away from sin and back to God, which reaches to the depths of a person's soul and can work extraordinary change."
Conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ is one thing, but conversion to Roman Catholicism as the Pope would see it is quite another. He is right of course about the horrors of sexual abuse against children as sin of the darkest hue. This current disaster within the Roman Catholic priesthood has brought mixed messages. In one breath the victims are told these priests are but fallible men who have momentarily fallen from grace. The moment has been rather long for some. Yet, in that same breath Catholics are told these same priests remain supermen endowed with the power to give last rights, to prescribe pennants for forgiveness of sin, and administer the very body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. My last stay in the hospital brought the Roman Catholic priest/chaplain to my room who was surprised when I interrupted his blessing on me while I lay in bed. I refused to recognize the source by which he was authorized to give blessings. This power of the priesthood is authorized by the Roman Catholic Church. Nowhere, in the rest of Christendom does such usurping of the power that is God's alone exist. The Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and Anglican/Episcopalians follow close their Roman brothers lead, but it is clearly the Roman that leads the way. This present crises really goes to the heart of the priesthood issue. It is the Roman Catholic system that needs reform. It is a false priesthood that needs to be purified from the Roman Catholic religion. It is demands such as this that the Lord Jesus Christ will put to all religions when the Kingdom comes. All who would usurp the sacrificial blood shed by Christ alone for the forgiveness of sin will find demands for submission to Christ alone inescapable.
Not all religions are so bold in blasphemy against Christ as the Romans, but all are as guilty. Most authorize good works as the way to overcome sin. It is again usurping the blood of Christ. It is this kind of blasphemy that will never be allowed into the Kingdom. All who can't leave the traditions of these worldly religions for Christ will be excluded. As they reject Him with their false theology, so shall He reject them. There is no substitute for the sacrificial blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Only He has the authority to apply it's healing power to hearts lost in sin.
Roman Catholicism is being given a wake-up call by God much as 9-11 woke-up America. Today, all eyes are fixed on Jerusalem not Rome. Today, Individual Catholics have an opportunity to wake-up, and leave the false priests for Christ. It is for the few who Biblically convert that God has turned the priesthood upside-down. Most will cling to the falsehood rather then reach out to the Biblical Christ. The extraordinary change worked in the heart that causes the repentant sinner to leave all for Christ is not for the masses. They will reject Christ, and seal their destiny outside the Kingdom. Jesus Christ bought the Kingdom with His blood, and no hypocrisy, no substitution, and no blasphemy will be allowed.
Eph 1:5-7
5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
KJV
Col 1:12-14
12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
KJV
Rom 3:24-27
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
KJV
Rev 1:5-6
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
21In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.

Palestinian Massacre in Hebron!
Hebron Massacre (My Headline)
In Hebron, missiles fired from an Apache helicopter slammed into the car of Marwan Zalum, 30, head of the Fatah Al-Aksa Brigade in the city, killing him and his aide Samir Abu Rajab, 42, a member of Force 17, shortly after midnight. Zalum was responsible for numerous attacks against civilians and soldiers and has been wanted for some time. Among those acts of terror was the murder of 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass in March 2001.
The Tanzim vowed to avenge his death.
Minutes after the attack people began pulling the charred bodies out of the car as an angry mob gathered chanting: "Death to Israel."
Revenge was swift. Hours later, masked Palestinian gunmen lynched three Palestinians they suspected of informing Israel of Zalum's whereabouts. The three were dragged to the site where Zalum was killed, their hands and feet were tied, and they were shot a number of times at point-blank range. Angry bystanders, including children, stood around the bodies kicking and spitting at them, before the gunmen dragged them through the streets and hung them from electricity poles.
Jenin Massacre Attempt (My Headline)
Witness to Jenin justice
By Robert Plotkin
A man suspected of collaborating with Israel was shot Monday afternoon a short distance from where I stood in the Jenin refugee camp.
As aid workers sifted the rubble for bodies in the devastated center, I heard multiple shots coming from an alley.
I, along with my Palestinian guides, ran up the alley toward the sound of the gunfire. An aid worker fled down the alley, shaking a stick at men surrounding the victim.
Camp residents spotted me running towards the shots with my camera, and tried to pull me away screaming out, "No pictures! No pictures!" Struggling free of the crowd, I continued up the alley.
There I saw the victim of the shots. He was in his mid-20s being carried head first down by half a dozen men surrounded by a screaming throng. As the wounded man and the crowd passed within meters of me, I began to take pictures, all the while being pulled and yelled at by a crowd demanding I stop.
As the victim himself passed me, he was conscious but mute. Like a hunted animal, he looked toward me with a wide-eyed stare and reached his arms toward me.
After he was carried away, a tall gunman dangling a black revolver in his hand slowly approached me. As I raised my camera to photograph him, several men grabbed my arms and yelled in broken English that he would shoot me.
To my right, an old woman stood in the doorway of a house. I ran up to her and she stood aside. I fled into the house and ran into a room that overlooked the alley and waited until I saw the gunman depart. I later saw him being driven away in a waiting car.
At the outset, my Palestinian guides claimed the man had been shot in a private dispute. Later, they claimed the IDF had shot him. When I objected, saying there weren't any troops in the camp, my driver said he would only tell me the truth about what had happened after we left the camp.
But, an hour later, still inside the camp, he relented and told me the wounded man I had photographed was shot because he was suspected of having collaborated with Israel. In his words, "He help the jaish [army]. That's what the men said. He help the jaish."
I asked him why he had lied to me, and he said, "It looks very bad for my people."
Where is the world press? Where are the UN investigators? A real massacre occurred in Hebron, but it was Palestinians massacring Palestinians. These kinds of Massacres are common as the events in Jenin reveal. The professional reporters in Jenin were too busy vainly searching for the rumored Israeli massacre of the Palestinians to pay much heed to some gunfire in the alley. Another Palestinian massacre attempt took place right under their noses. Had not this journalism student investigated, and who was almost massacred himself, the world press would have passed by this story.
The Jenin massacre by Israel is now part of Palestinian (and all of Islam) folklore. It matters not that a few months from now the world will conclude Israel innocent of massacre charges. It would have made no difference had the press been in Jenin for the battle. They were there for the attempted massacre, and missed that story altogether. The lie is what the Palestinians, and much of the world want to hear. The rumor of massacre would have been circulated no matter what the coverage would have been, and the bandwagon of Israeli massacre would have been jumped on by the media and the world anyway. The truth is not important when Israel is the subject.
The events in Hebron are dismissed as mostly unimportant by the media. No massacre charges would dare be proposed by any of the pros. I guess they're just too busy searching for a story palatable to a world hungry to discredit the Jews? Reporting on the Palestinians looking bad is not a story. It is making Israel look bad that most of the world craves! The professional world press is in the business of cursing Israel. It is bread and butter to curse them even if the story is known to be nothing but rumor. The Jenin massacre by Israel will be replayed again and again. It is this kind of cursing that most of the world will pay to hear.
Num 22:6
6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
KJV
Num 23:7-12
7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

Stephanopoulos' sis: Israelis
'defecated' in medical clinic
ABC News star's sibling, a nun, claims soldiers also looting homes in West BankPosted: April 24, 2002
11:21 p.m. Eastern
By Paul Sperry
© 2002 WorldNetDaily.comWASHINGTON -- "I'm not spreading propaganda," George Stephanopoulos' orthodox-nun sister vows, but Israeli soldiers last week "defecated" on the floors of a West Bank medical clinic they raided.
They're also looting Palestinians' homes there, claims Sister Maria Stephanopoulos, a nun at the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem.
A Russian Orthodox Christian (who changed from Greek Orthodox), Stephanopoulos runs a school for Palestinian girls there, and is pleading with priests here, via e-mail, to "get on the phone and ask your congressman and senators why the United States government is backing this invasion of Israeli forces into sovereign (Palestinian) areas, (and) why so many innocent civilians are being terrorized."
Not all the front-line reports of "Mother Maria," as she's more recently known, turn out to be true.
An e-mail alert she dispatched 10 days ago about Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian girls was later deemed apocryphal, one priest who saw it told WorldNetDaily. Stephanopoulos was the victim of a Palestinian boy's e-mail hoax.
Her brother, George, is the rising star and future host, reportedly, of ABC News' "This Week." The former senior adviser to President Clinton has done his own "reporting" from Jerusalem on the Israeli-Palestinian showdown.
Mother Maria honestly believes she is not passing on propaganda. The reason why is because she already convinced herself that no matter what the circumstances - Jews are the enemy to her system of Christianity. Every curse coming down the internet is immediately believed because it is what she wants to hear. The rape of Palestinian girls, or a massacre in Jenin. Every Jewish curse is true to Mother Maria. The largest part of Christianity (and growing) mirrors Mother Maria in belief that Israel is the enemy. They believe their system of Christianity is going to rule the world including the Holy Land and Jerusalem. Reality indicates the Jews are being favored by God for that privilege, and they can't handle reality. They must turn reality into a lie so their theology holds up. They must curse Israel, or their false theology will die.
The largest part of Christianity agrees with Mother Maria. Even Billy Graham was caught on the secret Nixon tapes as having an anti-Semitic attitude that was previously hidden from the public. The Pope insists the Christian hostage clerics in the Church of Nativity are willingly offering sanctuary to the beleaguered Palestinians (known Jew killer terrorists). The growth of Jewish control over the Holy Land will bring more and more of the closet Christians out into the open. The cursing of Israel has already reached new heights in Europe not seen since World War Two. It is the rise of Israel that causes the hardening of hearts within a large portion of Christianity. It is God's favor clearly being manifested on the Jews, and not on apostate Christianity.
God removed Israel from the world once before. The Kingdom demands Israel break those same ties once again. Christianity must face the reality that God is demanding once more:
"Let My People Go!"
Ex 7:3-5
3And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

Size of force on ground key in plan for Iraq war
By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMESThe commander of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf has told senior Pentagon officers that a new war against Iraq would likely take five divisions and 200,000 troops.
Gen. Tommy Franks "wants to do a Desert Storm II," said one official, referring to the 550,000 troops deployed to the region in 1990-91 to evict Iraqi forces from Kuwait.
Two defense sources said the briefings by Gen. Franks, who heads the U.S. Central Command that oversees U.S. forces in Central Asia and the Persian Gulf, came as the Bush administration is moving closer to deciding on a general military campaign to topple Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Officials say it likely will rely on fewer ground troops than suggested by Gen. Franks and call on extensive use of air power and indigenous rebel forces.
"Less ground-centric and more air-centric," is how one official described the emerging consensus.
Sources said that several weeks ago Gen. Franks provided face-to-face briefings on his ideas for combating Saddam.
The sources said Gen. Franks believes four or five divisions of ground troops are needed, with a total strength of about 200,000 land, sea and air forces.
Officials said President Bush met with some of his top national security advisers at Camp David last weekend and discussed war options.
It seems certain the next step in the war on terrorism will be an invasion of Iraq. I have no insight into how these plans will play out? I do believe the end result of all that is happening in the Middle East today is leading to a secular peace without God that is doomed to fail. It may seem to work in the beginning. It will certainly be spun as working, but the end of the present peace efforts without God in the Middle East will result in the greatest Islamic Jihad in history. An invasion of Israel! A three pronged Islamic attack. The Eastern prong is Old Persia which is modern Iran and Iraq. Whatever may be the fate of Saddam Hussein as a result of the war on terrorism, Islamic Iraq will invade Israel.
The war on terrorism is really about changing the present attitude of Islam toward primarily Israel, and secondarily all other infidels. The military might of the US is too much for Islam. The strength of Islam is their bargaining ability in doubletalk. They are united in their contempt for the infidels, and any peace agreements with the West over Israel are doomed on arrival. The sweet words of peace will be proclaimed, but the heart full of deceit will dictate the action. Yasser Arafat is a picture of Islam's ability to doubletalk. A picture destine to be duplicated again and again.
The pessimists will rule the day in the aftermath of all this present violence. A pessimism for peace without God that the Bible warns is foolishness. Real peace can only come God's way through Jesus Christ, and the coming Kingdom. This world refuses to turn to the God of the Bible no matter how many times the lessons are taught. The Bible does teach that the Jews will turn to God in the next dispensation. A movement returning to a literal interpretation of the Bible, blood sacrifice, and the building of the Third Jewish Temple. A movement that will grow through seven years of great tribulation. The world will follow the antichrist who will mimic by doubletalk the same false peace that will have led to the last Jihad. The world will swarm to his sweet words of peace as will secular Israel in the beginning. The cycle will turn once again with the same failure at the end. The antichrist's peace without God will only lead to Armageddon.
Isa 57:15-58:1
15For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Intelligence Chief Warns Against Cooperating With UN
IDF Intelligence Chief Maj.-Gen. Aharon Ze’evi Farkash recommends that the government not cooperate with the United Nations' Jenin fact-finding team. Farkash told the government that Israel would pay a certain diplomatic price for non-cooperation, but that working with the UN on this matter would cause far greater strategic damage. Cooperation with the Jenin committee, Farkash went so far as to say, would lead to a reversal of all of the IDF’s achievements during Operation Defensive Shield and would award the PLO a sweeping diplomatic victory.
Shots shatter Shabbat calm, spray death
Associated Press
Yaakov Shefi was in synagogue for Shabbat prayers in Adora, a settlement near Hebron, while his three young children cuddled with his wife at home. Shefi heard shots in the distance - not knowing that a Palestinian gunman had burst into his home and opened fire, wounding his wife and two of the couple's children. The third, 5-year-old Danielle, died.
"She saw our daughter breathe her last breath," Shefi, a policeman, recounted hoarsely, hours after the attack Saturday morning that left four dead and wounded and seven others.
Where are the UN inspectors? Where are the UN fact finders? They are busy chasing down propaganda rumors whereby they can curse Israel. They certainly are not interested in finding the true facts about what is happening in the Holy Land! It is no wonder that Israel is suspicious of the UN. The Palestinians murder women and children in their beds with for the most part immunity from any criticism much less action from the UN. This is the great indictment that shall be shouted for all eternity as part of the eternal condemnation of this present world leadership. It is reason enough for God to wrap up this present world system into one condemned package worthy of hell. This world is making its own bed. A bed of horror far worse then what 5-year old Danielle found when her security was violated by the unleashed animals of the Palestinians. The judgment will go far beyond the Palestinians. It will even go beyond all of Islam. It will reach out to the entire world. A judgment of God on a world without excuse. Facts so clearly revealed. Indictments by their own admissions, and one sided actions.
The overwhelming desire to curse Israel, and in so doing curse God and His eternal plan for the coming Kingdom. The self made bed of eternal horror is prepared for all who curse the Jewish Christ born to the Jewish Mary in the Jewish city of Bethlehem. It is no wonder that the very place of His birth is in the news this very day as a reminder of the Jewish-ness so completely ingrained into the great plan of God. The plan that will take mankind into the next dispensation, and then on into eternity. Eternal judgment of all rebels is included in that plan, and the indictments are for all to see in today's news.
Isa 5:14-16
14Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
KJV
Ps 139:7-10
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

AP: 176 Priests Removed in 28 States
By Rachel Zoll
AP Religion Writer
Saturday, April 27, 2002; 9:31 PMAt least 176 priests suspected of molesting minors have either resigned or been taken off duty in 28 states and the District of Columbia since the clerical sex scandal erupted in January, a nationwide review of Roman Catholic dioceses by The Associated Press found.
The review also showed that in 18 other states, where priests have not been taken off the job, dioceses still have responded to the crisis in a variety of ways. They include turning over allegations to prosecutors, scouring personnel records to see whether old claims were properly handled, and reviewing and publicizing policies for handling complaints.
In the end, the review found only four states – Arkansas, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming – where the scandal seems to have had no impact on the way the church operates.
"It's been years since I've met a diocesan attorney who said, 'I'm lucky, I haven't had any cases,'" said Patrick Schiltz, a lawyer who has defended dioceses against hundreds of claims.
AP reporters across the country interviewed Catholic officials last week about the scandal's impact in their dioceses. The information they collected helps demonstrate how the crisis has developed in just four months.
It is not Catholic bashing to recognize what a devastating crises these homosexual priests have caused to their victims. They targeted the most vulnerable making them victims of their perverted sexual lusts. They did not seek others with perverted sexual lusts as themselves, but rather reached into the straight community using the authority of their position to victimize mostly little boys. They had to know the trauma they caused would be a life long nightmare that most of these little boys would never overcome. They did it anyway multiple times for most of them. This terrorism against children condemns these priest predators to hell. Their false priesthood will hold no water when God judges! Few if any resigned in remorse. Most are only sorry they got caught. The word had to be out in the private homosexual communities that the priesthood is a good option available for these predators? It is beyond reason that these numbers are just some bazaar coincidence. These extraordinary numbers mean to me the word was out that there was an open door for successful victimization of young innocent boys by intent motivated sexual perverts. It is much like that song by the Village People titled YMCA that boasted of the homosexual rendezvous place where successful perverted encounters can be made.
Homosexuality as a chosen lifestyle (even the homosexual leadership now admits it is not genetic) has been exposed within the Roman Catholic Church as the vicious perverted sexual abomination that the Bible has always declared it to be. It should be no surprise that this happens at the same time Rosie "O" comes out of the closet to smokescreen this perverted life style as family friendly, and even hosts a children's TV special. America as leader of the Western World has a clear choice laid out before it about attitude toward homosexuality. Will the Bible be honored, or the talk show hostess? Will reality be acknowledged, or will sweet words change an abomination into an acceptable lifestyle? The increasing acceptance of homosexuality in the light of all those little boys sacrificed to these predators is proof the Western World is ready for the antichrist to take control. The father of lies will find fertile soil in the West.
The Roman Church accepted homosexuals requiring only that they be celibate as required of all their supermen priests. The Roman Church today only condemns the act not the lifestyle. This, all in spite of the clear teaching of the Bible. Reality has exposed the continual evolving theology of Church tradition as a false path compared to the never changing doctrine of the Bible. The superman (power over forgiving sin) priesthood has also been exposed as phony!
Lev 18:29-30
29For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Arafat free to leave Ramallah
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is free to leave Ramallah, as the result of a US proposal to incarcerate tourism minister Rehavam Ze'evi killers and the Karine A paymaster in a Palestinian jail - guarded by US and British jailers.
PA: Base solution to church standoff on Ramallah compromise
The best solution to end the standoff at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, entering its fourth week, would be a deal similar to the one the government accepted regarding the murderers of tourism minister Rehavam Ze'evi, Palestinian Authority officials said yesterday.
The National Spirit
One IDF regiment commemorated the successful conclusion of its Operation Defensive Shield battles in Ramallah in the following manner: On the regiment's last day in Ramallah, the commander suggested that the entire group travel to the Western Wall in Jerusalem, remnant of the Holy Temple, and participate in a joint thanksgiving prayer. He added that it would not be an obligatory "exercise," but only for those who felt it appropriate. One of the more junior officers objected, saying that it was a regiment-wide activity and should therefore include everyone. The senior officer - and the other reserve soldiers - accepted the emendation, and the several dozen fighters all went to the Wall. Standing in formation, they recited aloud the HaGomel blessing and other prayers of thanks for having returned safely and having uncovered large amounts of weapons and explosives that were intended for the murder of Jews. "Oh, yes," related one of the soldier participants. "Neither of the two [above-mentioned] officers was outwardly religiously-observant."
There is a lot of confusion among Israeli soldiers as to their roll in present events, and where the future for Israel is heading? A peace of sorts seems next? It is good that officers and men of this secular regiment mentioned in the news today have sought God for thanksgiving and direction. It is sad that a wall stands between them and the Temple Mount where the God of Israel had His House, the place where He dwelt, twice before in Israeli history.
The Bible is clear that the wondrous Shekinah Glory appeared in the First Temple. An even greater manifestation of God was promised for the Second Temple, but the wondrous light of God's glory as appeared in the First Temple never appeared in the Second Temple:
Hag 2:9
9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
KJV
Rather, the meek and lowly Christ presented Himself, and taught the great things of the God of the Bible there. He presented Himself as the only sacrifice that God would accept for the remission of sin. The greater glory did appear in the Second Temple, but the world was blind rejecting Him. He is coming again to a Third Jewish Temple yet to be built on the other side of that wall. This time the wondrous glory, and the meek Jesus will be manifested as one in the same.
The line on the wall is there because generations of Jews have prayed putting their forehead on that wall. It is as close as any Jew can get to the God of the Bible. The minute amount of oil we all have in our skin is what produced that line. An infinitesimal amount of oil from the foreheads of Jewish men (and women on the right of the fence) praying at that wall has over time left that line. Its top represents the tallest of Jews, and the bottom the shortest. The growth of a Jewish boy or girl from age twelve to adulthood is also represented on the line on the wall.
Soon, that wall will come down! Soon, Jews will meet their God in the Third Jewish Temple where He will again teach them His ways.
The First Jewish Temple
1 Kings 8:9-23
9There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
13I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
14And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
15And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
19Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
23And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
KJV
1 Kings 8:27-31
27But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
28Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:
29That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
30And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
31If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

4And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

Ezek 44:4-5
4Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
5And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Luke 9:28-29
28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
