A burden? Do you not know what a privilege it is for us that you share
your
life with us this way, that you give us the opportunity to pray with you
for
Matthew? Praise God for the internet and the door ways it provides. Just
imagine.... no distance, no culture difference, no anything to keep us

What I meant was to say Amen to it being a blessing to be able to pray for
Matthew.
It is most definitely not a burden.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

EU plans to issue 'identity number' for every citizen
By Stephen Castle in Brussels and Andrew Grice
5 February 2001
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/World/Europe/2001-02/eu050201.shtml
Ambitious plans to help European Union citizens move more freely
between countries during the course of their working lives may
include giving every person an individual "EU social security
number".
A task force to be set up at next month's summit of European leaders
in Stockholm is to study the proposal as part of a drive to sweep
away barriers stopping people from moving easily between member
states.

Resident asks for Bible Ban from library
CHRISTOPHER LLOYD
Staff Writer
http://www.starbanner.com/articles/breaking_news/828.shtml
OCALA =97 Another book has been targeted for removal from the Marion
County Public Library, a tome one critic says is filled with more
vulgarity and sexual material than the children's sex-education book
that recently survived challenge.
Charles Schrader, a Wiccan and retired Marine, filed the request for
reconsideration, claiming the book in question is filled with graphic
descriptions of rape, murder, incest, cannibalism and sodomy.
That's how he describes the Bible.
Schrader, who moved to the Dunnellon area two years ago, filed the
request to remove the Bible this week in response to the recent
criticism of "It's Perfectly Normal," a sex-education book for
children by Robie Harris that some have described as pornographic.
Schrader said he doesn't really think he'll get the Bible off the
shelves and doesn't believe it should be removed. He's just trying to
make a point.
"It's filthy, it has pornography, cannibalism like you wouldn't
believe," he said. "Because it's hidden within the covers of
something called the Holy Bible, who would dare question it at the
risk of their immortal souls?"
He is scheduled on Tuesday to address the Marion County Commission,
which controls the library system. During the debate over "It's
Perfectly Normal," the commission voted to set itself up as the final
arbiter of what books belong in the library, only to back away from
that stance after its attorney said that would constitute illegal
censorship.
Schrader said he intends to compare "It's Perfectly Normal" and the
Bible to "see which is more vulgar." He points to various excerpts
from the Old and New Testaments that describe a father impregnating
his daughters, a man eating his son, virgin sacrifices and torture.
Schrader's effort to ban the Bible is only half-serious. "I admit
there's some facetiousness spread through this," he said.
"I do not have any illusions that they're going to remove this. And
personally, as a civil libertarian and a staunch defender of freedom
of religion, I don't really want them to," he said.
He is hoping to convince commissioners they have no business
regulating the content of library books and to point out the
hypocrisy of taking excerpts from a book out of context to conclude
the entire book is obscene.
The reaction of county commissioners to Schrader's complaint range
from anger to indifference. Steve Henning said Schrader is "mixing
apples and oranges," and Randy Harris said the matter is "simply not
worthy of comment."
"We're compelled to listen. And apart from that, I think that will be
the end of what we'll be doing," Parnell Townley said. "I'll listen
to anyone, but the Bible is sacred to a lot of people, especially me.
With that, it should be in the center of the library."
After receiving Schrader's request on Wednesday, library director
Julie Sieg impaneled a committee of librarians to review the book in
question. Their recommendation is due within 30 days. Sieg holds the
final authority over what materials stay or go.
Two other books that have had complaints filed against them
recently, "One Fat Summer" and "Crying Wind," have already been
through this process. Sieg decided to retain both.
Countywide, the library system carries 30 different versions of the
Bible encompassing 42 individual books plus 11 audio recordings.
A former Marine who served three combat tours in Vietnam and earned a
number of citations, the 63-year-old Schrader has spent the past two
decades combating what he sees as the encroachment of religion on
government. He was active in Georgia before moving to Spruce Creek
Preserve with his wife two years ago.
Last month he disrupted a Citrus County School Board meeting,
reciting a Wiccan prayer during the Christian prayer the board holds
before every public meeting. He has also objected to a group of
Christian athletes using school facilities and fought to allow the
creation of a student club based on sexual orientation.
"My focus is on freedom of religion. That's a freedom that's being
stomped on right regular," Schrader said. "One day this republican
democracy will go away, and we're going to have a theocracy."
Schrader is also a practitioner of Wicca, a nature-based religion
sometimes referred to as witchcraft. Wiccans say their religion does
not incorporate devil worship or black magic, and a central tenet is
that any harm inflicted on others will be returned threefold.
Schrader said he is an active member of a Wicca coven in Homosassa.

Mir's flight path is 'unpredictable'
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_194954.html?
menu=news.scienceanddiscovery
Scientists in charge of bringing down the Mir space station say
changes in the Earth's atmosphere are making its flight path more
difficult to predict.
The Russian team says the atmosphere is "bulging" in places due to
solar activity.
It means the craft is coming down faster and less evenly than
expected.
But although Mir's altitude is dropping anything between 200 and 650
metres a day, ground controllers are confident they can still do
their job, according to Spaceflight Now.
The Progress M1-5 cargo ship is expected to help give the space
station its final push into the atmosphere in March.

From: <owner-bpr@philologos.org>

A New Trick Gives Snoops Easy Access to E-Mail
By AMY HARMON
For those still harboring the illusion that e-mail exchanges are
private, a watchdog group has uncovered a new trick that enables
someone to essentially bug an e-mail message so that the spy would be
privy to any comments that a recipient might add as the message is
forwarded to others or sent back and forth.
The maneuver does not take advantage of any security flaw in e-mail
software. It is simply one feature of a fancier and increasingly
common form of e-mail known as HTML mail, which enables users to send
and receive e-mail messages that look and act like a Web page.
With the spying technique, a few lines of a programming language
called JavaScript, often used on Web sites to create pop-up windows
and navigational aids, can be embedded in such a message. This
implant, not visible to the recipient, enables the text to be secretly
returned to its original sender every time it is forwarded to another
recipient, as long as the recipients' e-mail programs are set up to
read JavaScript.
[....]
Invisible tags sometimes called Web bugs are widely used in HTML e-
mail by marketers and others to detect whether an individual has
opened an e-mail message. The Congressional Privacy Caucus has
announced plans to hold hearings to investigate the use of Web bugs
later this month. Mr. Smith said that it was now clear that JavaScript
could be used to create a more powerful Web bug so that not only can
someone find out when a message is read, but also what is being said
about it.
Because many e-mail users continue to hit "reply" during long e-mail
exchanges rather than initiating new messages, the JavaScript code
could enable an individual to eavesdrop on an entire conversation
between business associates about a proposal he or she had e-mailed to
one of them, for example. It could also be used to harvest e-mail
addresses when a message like a joke was forwarded over and over to
groups of people across the Internet.
The widely used e-mail programs that are vulnerable to the exploit
include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger 6.
America Online users and users of Web-based e-mail programs like
Hotmail would not be affected.

Ultra-Orthodox leaders have come out in support of Likud leader Ariel
Sharon, calling on their constituents to go to the polls en masse.
It's another blow for Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who is trailing by 17
to 21 percentage points in the polls ahead of elections on Tuesday.
The decision by the Council of Torah Sages of the United Torah Judaism
party puts another seven percent of the electorate in Sharon's camp.
"There will be an unequivocal backing of the entire public which heeds
the Council...to vote for Ariel Sharon," Moshe Gafni, a United Torah
Judaism parliament member, told Israel Radio. The ultra-Orthodox want
to oust Barak because they see his policies as anti-religious.
A straw poll published today in Israel's biggest newspaper, "Yediot
Ahronot," shows Sharon defeating Barak by a landslide. The poll,
summing up results from a two month period, was conducted in a mobile
voting station that traveled around the country. The results gave
Sharon 58 percent of the vote, compared to 34 percent for Barak. Barak
won in only four of 32 districts, taking the port city of Haifa by 61
percent to Sharon's 37.
Israeli soldiers are voting today across the country. On Mount Hermon,
where heavy snow is falling, the ballots were delivered by snowmobile!
Troops assisting earthquake victims in India voted yesterday. An
election officer will bring the ballot box back to Israel handcuffed
to his arm in time for Tuesday's count.
The Barak camp is not surrendering despite the fact that defeat
appears inevitable. "Anyone who thinks Arik (Sharon) has the election
in the bag should wait and see," cabinet minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer
told Army Radio today. While Israeli Arab leaders have called for a
boycott in protest over the killing of 13 Israeli Arabs at the start
of the Palestinian uprising, Ben Eliezer said there's still a chance
they would set aside their anger and come out and vote. "I am telling
you that among the Arabs there is going to be a turnaround,"
Ben-Eliezer said, adding that the Barak campaign was focusing its
efforts on getting traditional left-wing voters to the polls.
Yesterday, Barak appealed to Israeli Arabs and Russian-speaking voters
via interviews on Russian and Arab television stations. Sharon, who
speaks a little Russian, also gave interviews to Russian television
stations. Immigrants from the former Soviet Union are generally hawks,
and are expected to strongly support Sharon. Both candidates promised
to bring peace: Barak by continuing negotiations; Sharon by first
emphasizing security.
Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, which has been leading armed attacks
against Israel, says it will escalate the Palestinian uprising after
the election regardless of who wins. "Fatah will pursue its national
struggle against occupation. After the elections, we will intensify
our resistance," said Marwan Barghouti, the leading Fatah official in
Judea and Samaria. "How much worse can Sharon be than Barak?"
Barghouti asked, adding that if Sharon wins, "He will soon discover
that the security of Israel can't be achieved without first ending the
occupation." Fatah and Islamic groups are planning big demonstrations
on election day, "to send Israel a message that the intifada will
continue." They have issued leaflets ordering the closure of all shops
on Tuesday so that as many people as possible can take part in the
protests.

"The time for attack has come - onward to victory": Barak
BEERSHEBA, Israel, Feb 4 (AFP) -
Big drums, brass and trumpets, the band of a group of Red Army
veterans starts a military march and Ehud Barak mounted to the
platform amid cheers from the Russian immigrants he came to address
late Sunday in the southern town of Beersheba, 48 hours ahead of
Israeli elections.
"The time for attack has come -- onward to victory all of you with
me," said Ehud Barak, more combative than ever. His words were
immediately translated into Russian.
Applause poured forth, the drums rolled, the veterans choir struck up
with the famous Russian song 'Kalinka'.
All around are faces of solid old men, looking well lived-in, their
chests covered in medals. Some are disabled. It was they who entered
Berlin in 1945 with the Red Army.
It was to them that Barak, the most decorated soldier in the Israeli
army, targetted his speech.
"I spoke yesterday to (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin. He is
following with interest what happens here, because in Israel, he told
me, there are more than a million of our compatriots," the outgoing
prime minister said.
"I told him that, with another million men like you, we would be a
strong state for the next hundred years," said Barak to huge applause
from the mainly elderly five hundred people in the hall.
His message is clear: They must block the path of Ariel Sharon, the
right-wing candidate leading comfortably in the polls.
"What is more, we have the strength to take the decision to pull our
troops out of Lebanon, we will be able to trace a border between us
and the Palestinians, with or without agreement, as it is only when
there is a border, that there is peace," said Barak.
His speech was barely over when he moved into a neighbouring hall a
crowd of Bedouin sheiks from the southern Negev desert, wearing the
traditional Arab headdress, the keffiah, and representatives their
community, which is one of the poorest in the Jewish state.
Around 120,000 Bedouins live in the Negev and 60,000 in the north of
the country.
Barak was met with applause by this mainly young crowd of around 100.
"We the Arabs should join this battle with more determination than
the Jews, because our future runs with it that of our lands," said
Fallal Frinawi, deputy mayor the Bedouin town of Rahat, near
Beersheba.
"With the help of Allah and the Bedouins, you will be victorious
Tuesday," said Abu Yunes, a figure widely respected by the tribes.
From the platform, Barak again expressed his "deep sadness" over the
13 Israeli Arab demonstrators shot by Israeli police last October,
during a rally in the north of Israel in support of the Palestinian
intifada.
"We are open a new page in our relations this evening. The same blood
runs in our veins. Power must not fall into the hands of a government
of extremists. Onward, all with me, for victory," Barak urged.

Hi Diana,
First of all, forgive me for this late response. I meant to comment earlier, but
then lost your message in the heap of all the other ones in my mail folder and it
slipped my mind. <g> Sorry 'bout that.
> Ivan Panin who researched the numerical perfection of the scriptures

> numerical perfection is broken.
Well, I didn't mean to imply that the ending of Mark (16: 9-20) should not be
included in the Scriptures, regardless whether I agree or not with any
"numerical perfection" that may be found in them as a whole. My point was to
look at what possibly Mark's intent may have been *if* it's likely that he
ended his book with the words found at 16:8. Verses 9-20 are included in our
Scriptures and I take it on faith that God meant for them to be included,
whether Mark wrote them or someone else. Having said that however, I
personally lean towards the theory that Mark intentionally ended his remarks
at verse 8 and thus the abrupt ending was very much in his style. Personally, I
was looking at what I thought Mark wrote. In other words, the ending could
have been added on by someone else. Much like some of the books of the
Torah were edited after Moses' death (Moses couldn't write about his own
death for example). Scholars can pick out where editing has occurred in some
cases based on different styles of writing. I was merely looking at Mark's style
and came to the conclusion that the abrupt ending of the story was very much
a "Mark" thing to do.
Thanks for your original message Diana and the chance to discuss this further.

PLO PUSHES FOR STATEHOOD AFTER ISRAELI ELECTIONS
The PLO is pressing chairman Yasser Arafat to convene the
organization's central committee to announce a Palestinian state
after elections in Israel. PLO officials have urged Arafat to launch
the effort after the Israeli elections on Tuesday. Palestinian
sources said Arafat has been told that the expected election of Likud
challenger Ariel Sharon will result in international support for
unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state. Palestinian sources
said Arafat is preparing to intensify the conflict with Israel after
Tuesday's election.

WARNING SHOT ON E.U. ARMY BY WHITE HOUSE
The Bush administration has given a tough warning that plans for a
European Defence Force could undermine Nato and provoke a dangerous
rift between America and its allies. Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defence
Secretary, told delegates to a conference in Munich at the weekend
that he was "a little worried" by proposals for a 60,000-strong
European Rapid Reaction Force by 2003. He said: "Actions that could
reduce Nato's effectiveness by confusing duplication or perturbing
the transatlantic link would not be positive."

U.S. 'STUDYING' ISRAEL EMBASSY MOVE
The Bush administration is reconsidering a campaign pledge to begin
moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "We are
studying it," Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday on ABC's

U.S. PATRIOTS ARRIVE IN ISRAEL AMID SEVERE TENSION
A U.S. Army brigade carrying Patriot anti-aircraft missiles has
arrived in Israel as both Israeli and Arab military sources report
heightened regional tension that threatens to erupt into war. The
sources report both Israeli, Iraqi and Lebanese military movement
over the weekend. The Lebanese movement comprises deployment by the
Hizbullah movement of short-range rockets near the Israeli border.
The U.S. brigade from the 69th Air Defense Artillery is said to have
arrived in Haifa and is preparing for the exercise, called Juniper
Cobra. The exercise will begin on Thursday and will last 14 days.

BATTLE OVER FREE PRESS INTENSIFIES IN RUSSIA
The vicious fight going on here over the press summons up the words
of the legendary American journalist A. J. Liebling: Freedom of the
press is guaranteed only to those who own one. This axiom helps
explain why an investigation by Russia's chief prosecutor into the
Media-MOST business empire controlled by Vladimir A. Gusinsky, one of
Russia's wealthy oligarchs, has taken on doomsday proportions as far
as press advocates are concerned.

BSE-CONTAMINATED FEED SAID TO REACH 70 COUNTRIES
Animal feed protein contaminated with bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (also known as BSE or mad cow disease) is estimated to
have reached 70 countries through exports by a British company, press
accounts reported Sunday. London's Sunday Times said the protein,
extracted from meat and bones, was exported despite a ban on its use
in cattle and sheep feed as far back as 1988, when government
scientists first identified it as the likely cause of BSE.

INDONESIAN CHRISTIANS FORCED INTO ISLAMIC FAITH
The religious strife in the Spice Islands has extended to the violent
conversion of local Christians, followed by involuntary and
unanaesthetised circumcisions. Thomas Rusin, a Roman Catholic
villager, was given his new name - Hasim - at gunpoint by a mob in a
mosque. He, his family and his friends were told that if they did not
convert to Islam they would die. They had already heard that two
Protestant teachers from another village who had refused had been
slaughtered. They had no choice. They were made to repeat three times
the declaration that is the simple entry to the Muslim faith.

BIBLICAL THEME PARK IN FLORIDA BEGETS ILL WILL
In a city that has a theme park to satisfy just about every taste,
the latest addition can truly be called an original, or a sin,
depending upon whom you ask. Beginning Monday, tourists interested in
Bible stories instead of cartoon fantasy can bypass the park with
Mickey and go to one with Jesus. The Holy Land Experience, a $16
million, 15-acre park just down the road from Universal Studios, is
billed as "a living biblical museum." There are no rides and no
cotton candy, but the park has already created some fireworks.

CHRISTIAN 'DECLINE' IN NORTH NIGERIA
The Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, has said Christianity has
been in decline in Nigeria's northern state of Zamfara since the
adoption of Islamic law. Archbishop Carey told the BBC that many
Christians in the state had left in despair because they were unable
to build churches or teach religion in schools.

Dr. Aaron Lerner 5 February 2001
Army Radio reported today that Internal Security Minister Shlomo
Ben-Ami last week asked Shlomo Aharonishky, the head of the police,
to relieve Northern Region police chief commander Alik Ron of his
duties.
Israeli Arabs are incensed at Ron for allegedly using excessive force
against rioting Israeli Arabs.
Critics of the Israel Police response note that the underbudgetted
police were seriously underequipped and understaffed. For some reason,
the failure of Minister Ben Ami to get the budget has been
overlooked in most reviews.

Subject: RICH WAS SPY FOR ISRAEL
RICH WAS SPY FOR ISRAEL
Niles Lathem - The New York Post - February 5,2001
Billionaire Marc Rich lived a double life during his 20 years as a
fugitive, funneling secret data to Israeli and other intelligence
services about some unsavory governments.
Sensational details about Rich's ultimate high-wire act as a spy for
Israel and other countries were provided to The Post as congressional
committees prepare to hold hearings into former President Bill
Clinton's controversial decision to pardon the fugitive commodities
trader.
Among the issues that will be explored by the House Oversight
Committee in its probe of the hotly disputed Rich pardon, according to
congressional sources, are:
* Rich's lengthy relationship with the Israeli Mossad.
* His numerous contacts with federal prosecutors in New York, during
which his lawyers offered to provide intelligence to the CIA in return
for leniency.
A CIA spokesman denied any relationship with Rich and said no one from
the agency participated in behind-the-scenes White House discussions
about his pardon.
But Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak repeatedly cited Rich's
contributions to Israel's "national security" in phone calls to
President Clinton last month in which he lobbied for Rich's pardon,
according to Barak spokesman Gadi Baltiansky.
And a letter from former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit to Clinton
confirming that Rich provided "assistance" to the Israeli spy agency
that produced results "beyond the expected" was among the documents
released last week by Rich's lawyer Jack Quinn to support the Rich
pardon.
"The government of Israel considered Rich a critical ally, and the
president took that seriously when he considered the pardon request,"
former White House spokesman Jake Siewert told The Post.
Rich and partner Pincus Green fled the country in 1983 ahead of
federal charges that they ripped off taxpayers for $48 million. Both
were among the 140 people pardoned or given clemency on Clinton's last
day in office.
A storm of controversy has erupted over the unusual way the Rich
pardon was handled, as well as over the involvement of Rich's ex-wife,
Denise Rich, who raised $1 million for the Democratic party and gave
the Clintons $7,000 in furniture for their new homes.
Accounts of Rich's life on the lam - provided by former prosecutors,
Rich's lawyers and the Israeli government - sound like a plot from a
James Bond movie as the ruthless and nimble Rich extended his empire
on five continents and built up a business worth almost $30 billion.
He sold Iranian oil to Israel and Nigerian oil to South Africa.
He brokered the sale of North Korean arms to Iran and did several
deals involving gold, grain, nickel and tin with the Russian Mafia and
henchmen of the former Soviet Union.
And it's now clear that Rich also dealt in the most valuable commodity
of all - information. He used what one of his former lawyers called a
"mammoth information-gathering operation" to gain entree to
governments and to support his businesses.
"He was one of the biggest commodities traders in the world and had
offices and active operations in all sorts of countries. He had
friends in all sorts of places - high and low - and he certainly was
in a position to provide sensitive information from a number of
places," said Martin Auerbach, one of two former assistant U.S.
attorneys who prosecuted Rich and tracked him throughout the years.
Lawyers close to the case say there is no doubt that Rich had contacts
with spies and security services throughout Europe and the Middle
East. Those contacts not only helped him make money but may have also
helped him stay one step ahead of U.S. lawmen trying to capture him,
lawyers say.
Former New York Police Commissioner Howard Safir said he tried several
times to trap Rich and bring him back to the United States, when he
headed the U.S. Marshals Service, but Rich constantly eluded the
federal dragnet.
Shavit, who headed the Mossad from 1989 to 1996, provided a
fascinating glimpse of Rich's role in the murky netherworld of spies.
In his letter to Clinton released by Quinn's office, Shavit said that
he had a long relationship with Rich.
"We requested his assistance in looking for MIAs and his help in the
rescue and evacuation of Jews from enemy countries," Shavit wrote.
"Mr. Rich always agreed and used his extensive network of contacts in
these countries to produce results that sometimes were beyond the
expected."
Murkier still were Rich's efforts to become a superspy for the CIA.
During his intrigue-filled exile, Rich's lawyers made numerous
approaches to government prosecutors, offering intelligence to the CIA
about the terrorists and rogue governments he dealt with in return for
being allowed to return to the United States without being subjected
to a jail sentence, Auerbach said.
"Whether or not he provided the information, it never rose to a level
where it justified any sort of leniency," Auerbach said.
Asked whether security and intelligence considerations involving the
United States played any role in the Rich pardon, a former Clinton
aide said, "I simply don't know."

Justice4JP Note:
In a recent essay ( 02/01/01), NY Times columnist William Safire,
summed it up the most succinctly, "...Rich's direction of some
ill-gotten gains to charities induced Israel's Ehud Barak to use up
his one big pardon favor with Clinton, dooming the unrich Jonathan
Pollard to a life in jail."

Subject: [bprlist] Earth faces 38 close asteroid encounters: Russian scientists
From: owner-bpr@philologos.org

Earth faces 38 close asteroid encounters: Russian scientists
Russian scientists warned Sunday that 38 asteroids will hurtle
Earthwards in 2001, some passing the planet as near, or as far as,
1.84 million kilometres away.
But they scotched fears of planetary debris causing earthquakes,
tidal waves and other global catastrophes, saying close encounters of
the asteroid kind were not a reason for panic.
The now identified flying objects would hurtle past Earth at a
distance of less than 30 million kilometres, the Moscow-based
International Centre for the Study of Small Planets said.
The asteroid known as "PH5" would come the closest, flying past the
planet on July 25, only 1.84 million kilometres away, Professor
Mikhail Smirnov of Russia's Institute of Astronomy was quoted as
saying.
Asteroid "WT24" will be only 1.86 million kilometres away when it
passes the Earth on December 16.
However, the proximity of the asteroids posed no threat to
Earthlings, Smirnov said.
Asteroids can be as large as one kilometre across, but most are tiny
rotational bodies that revolve around the Sun in orbits mostly
between the planets Mars and Jupiter.
"They can in no way cause any change to Earth's orbit. Nor can they
cause tidal surges or ebbings or any other undesirable consequences.
Neither the Earth itself nor the people on it will feel anything,"
Smirnov added.
The Moon revolves around the Earth at a distance of about 400,000
kilometres, or four times nearer than even PH5 will pass by.
The flight paths of all asteroids expected near Earth's orbit between
now and 2176 have been mapped, and none of them foresee a collision
with the Earth, though longer-term forecasting is not possible
without more powerful computers, Smirnov said.
He added that intermittent rumours an asteroid was going to collide
with the planet were "fiction or a sign of incompetence."
"If a real asteroid threat does appear in the future, humankind will
undoubtedly find a way to prevent it," he concluded.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES?
News Report from the BPR, Feb.5/01:
"INDONESIAN CHRISTIANS FORCED INTO ISLAMIC FAITH"
---The religious strife in the Spice Islands has extended to the violent
conversion of local Christians, followed by involuntary and
un-anaesthetized circumcisions. Thomas Rusin, a Roman Catholic
villager, was given his new name - Hasim - at gunpoint by a mob in a
mosque. He, his family and his friends were told that if they did not
convert to Islam they would die. They had already heard that two
Protestant teachers from another village who had refused had been
slaughtered. They had no choice. They were made to repeat three times
the declaration that is the simple entry to the Muslim faith.---
(The Protestant teachers made a choice and I think they are now in
paradise.)
It appears that, following the catching up, there will be thousands who
will realize what has happened and will realize that God did raise Him
from the dead, in addition to believing He is the Son of God. Rev. 6:9
tells us - "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held:". this, I think, happens at the mid-point of
the 7 years and it seems obvious, to me, the ‘souls under the altar´ are
all believers who have been slain in the first 3 ½ years.
However, it is not until the mid-point of the 7 years that Satan will
enter the beast, following which the decrees will be issued tp take the
mark of the beast, to worship him and to bow down to his image. Is it
possible it will be the ‘nation of Islam´ that will be the main ‘slayer´
during the first half of the 7 years? Then, when the decree is issued,
to worship the beast, many of them will realize they, too, have been
wrong, will turn to the Lord and will be slain during the second half.
The first group would consist of present day atheists; ‘Christians´ who
believe in God but not Jesus Christ; ‘Christians´ who do not, today,
believe in their heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, as
well as many Jews. The second group would consist of more of the same
plus ‘converts´ from other religions, including Moslems, who have not,
until the mid-point of the 7 years, accepted either the true God nor
Jesus Christ as the Son of God - all who refuse to take the mark of the
beast, worship him or bow down to his image. Just a thought!

1. PALESTINIAN VIOLENCE IN YESHA
Palestinian terrorists shot this morning at a bus and the IDF patrol
jeep that accompanied it, near Shavei Shomron. No one was hurt, and
IDF soldiers pursued the attackers. Arabs opened fire at the towns of
Psagot and Efrat last night; no one was hurt. Today, Palestinian
terrorists opened fire towards an IDF outpost in Rafiach near the
Israeli-Egyptian border, and at another outpost near N'vei Dekalim in
Gaza. No one was hurt, and IDF soldiers returned fire. Later today,
Palestinian terrorism struck the northern Shomron town of Ganim; one
house was hit by gunfire, but no one was hurt.
A group of several dozen Beit El residents held a protest this
afternoon near the Ayosh junction north of Ramallah. They attempted to
block the road on which one of their friends was shot at yesterday
morning; he miraculously escaped death when the bullets penetrated the
hood of his car and the windshield on the passenger side. Police
arrested three of the demonstrators - not for stoning Arab motorists,
as reported by some media, but for their attempts to block the road
and, in one case, for demanding that a police officer give his name.
The Jewish neighborhood of Avraham Avinu in Hevron came under
Palestinian attack this afternoon - and residents claim that the IDF
reaction was slow and ineffective. One or more Arab snipers shot at
groups of Jews in the area several times this afternoon; miraculously,
no one was hit. Soldiers returned fire only after the second attack,
but as of 5 PM, they had not managed to silence the firing. Hevron
residents say that the IDF knows the buildings from where the firing
originated; they call yet again upon the army to destroy them.
When IDF forces shot and killed a would-be Palestinian terrorist
infiltrator on Saturday night, they did not realize the extent of the
catastrophe that had been averted. On his dead body was found a
ten-kilogram pack of explosives, and he had planned to carry out a
massive attack in central Israel. The terrorist was apparently a
member of the Islamic Jihad.
2. BARAK EXPLAINS HIS ZIG-ZAGS
Despite Prime Minister Barak's prediction that the gaps in the polls
between himself and Ariel Sharon would begin to narrow in the days
preceding the election, surveys released today and last night still
show a 20% margin of victory for the Likud candidate. Barak has not
given up, however, and his supporters flooded 120 main intersections
today with campaign literature. Shlomit Amichai, Director-General of
the Education Ministry, called upon school principals not to allow
students to take part in electioneering today.
The Prime Minister has come out with yet another apology - this time
for what has become known as his policy of zig-zagging. In a campaign
letter delivered to hundreds of thousands of citizens throughout the
country, Barak writes, "I knew that I was entering a field strewn with
mines, through which I would sometimes have to zig-zag in order to
pass safely through=85" Senior Labor party figures have criticized the
letter: "Barak's apology to the Arabs was acceptable, but it was not
necessary for him to admit to having zig-zagged," one source told
Ma'ariv today. Barak's announcement that he does not plan to step
down from the Labor party leadership even if he loses the election was
also not warmly received in the party.
Barak continues to work hard for the Arab vote, but Arab MKs Bishara
and Tibi said again today that the Israeli-Arab population would make
its voice heard by abstaining in the election. The Prime Minister
verbally attacked Sharon and his alliance with the religious parties
today, as evidenced by the hareidi endorsement of Sharon's candidacy
this week. The Likud, for its part, is concerned that the large gaps
shown by the polls in favor of its candidate may lead to a low turnout
among his supporters.
3. RABBI ELYASHIV: TOMORROW'S ELECTION IS CRITICAL
Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, one of the top leading Rabbinical
authorities of the hareidi community, feels that voting in tomorrow's
election is "even more important than in the last elections." He
himself, as well as other leading hareidi rabbis, plans to depart from
his normal routine and vote in the election, explaining that there is
a danger of "an attempt to uproot Judaism if Barak wins."
Ariel Sharon is already making efforts to form a national unity
government, and has asked Prof. Yaakov Ne'eman to begin the work.
Ne'eman served as first as Justice Minister, then as Finance Minister,
under Binyamin Netanyahu. MK Silvan Shalom, one of Sharon's campaign
managers, said that if Sharon's bid to form a unity government with
Labor fails, he would try to form as broad a right-wing government as
possible. MK Benny Elon (National Union), a long-time proponent of a
unity government, said that Sharon will first have to form a narrow
government, and only afterwards will be able to invite Labor to join.
4. BEN-AMI'S BID TO FIRE RON - THWARTED
Police Commissioner Shlomo Aharonishki rejected a request by his boss,
Public Security Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, to fire Northern Police Chief
Alik Ron. Ron had blamed Israeli-Arab leaders for incitement, and the
firing would have been greeted happily in Israel's Arab community -
and may have increased Arab votes for Ehud Barak in tomorrow's
election to boot. Aharonishki decided a few days ago to reject the
request.
Some 15,000 police officers will be stationed throughout the country
tomorrow, and special precautions will be taken in the north - near
Israeli-Arab centers - where information has been received of possible
disturbances. A general closure has been imposed, as of 4 PM this
afternoon, on the Arab areas of Judea and Samaria. The measure is a
preventive one against security dangers during Election Day.
5. AND THE STRIKE GOES ON=85
Although the national Histadrut Labor Union strike ended last week
with an agreement for a 3.6% wage hike, it is still not clear where
some of the money is going to come from. The municipal councils
demand that the national government pay for it in full; until such an
agreement is attained, the municipal workers say, they are staying
home. No meeting is planned between the sides until Wednesday. Trash
will therefore not be collected and municipal services will not be
offered. Garbage trucks disrupted traffic today on the Gush Dan
(central Israel) highways and in the Be'er Sheva region. School
janitors, however, will be served with back-to-work orders so that
schools will be clean enough for schoolchildren to study hygienically.
6. WEAPONS HEADED FOR THE PA SEIZED BY ISRAEL
Channel 2 Television reported last night that 40 barrels full of
weapons and ammunition headed for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza
were seized by Israel last week. The barrels contained 50
rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 1,000 rockets, and scores of 60mm
mortar rounds. The boat on which the weapons were brought apparently
came from Egypt.
7. THE SEARCH FOR LIFE-SAVING MARROW
The Ezer Mizion (pronounced "MiTzion," meaning Help From Zion)
organization - a non-profit organization in Israel dedicated to
assisting the sick and handicapped - is helping organize a bone-marrow
drive tomorrow throughout Israel. Dozens of leukemia patients in
Israel - most of whom are children - are awaiting a life-saving
matching bone marrow donor, and tomorrow's drive is currently one of
their only hopes.
Although some 30,000 donors have been catalogued in the bone marrow
database in the past year - the database totals almost 60,000 - none
of them have been found to provide a match for the anxious patients.
Ezer Mizion officials say that people who have been tested in previous
drives need not be tested again - but those who haven't yet are
urgently asked to do so. The tests are being held in many, but not
all, Magen David Adom centers throughout the country, as well as in
Ezer Mizion branches and public malls. Would-be donors are not
charged money, but each test costs $65 to process, thus that the
organizers are seeking donors not only of marrow, but also of funds.
8. RAMALLAH LYNCH-LEADERS ON TRIAL
The trial of two Palestinian Authority policemen suspected of
participating in the brutal lynching of two Israelis in a Ramallah
police station last October opened today. Rayaad Mahmoud Jamil Sheik
and Ali Mahmoud Mandan were charged in an Israeli Military Court with
murdering Israeli reservists Yosef Avrahami and Vadim Norzitch.
The lynching happened as follows, according to the charges brought
today: The two victims mistakenly entered Ramallah and were stopped
by the suspects, who took them to the police station. Along the way,
one of the suspects stopped a large group of Arabs participating in a
funeral for a terrorist who had been killed by the IDF the day before.
He told the mourners that if they came to the police station, he
would turn over the two Israeli prisoners to the group. Before he and
his partner turned them over, however, the officers inside the station
savagely assaulted Norzitch and Avrahami with metal pipes. After
several minutes of beating and kicking the Israeli prisoners into
bloody pulps, the police threw the bodies out the second-floor window
into the arms of the frenzied horde gathered below. Atty. Nitsana
Darshan-Leitner, representing the family of one of the victims,
alleges that at least six other PA officers who participated in the
lynching are still wandering free in Palestinian Authority areas.
9. SHEIKH VISITS JEWISH HEVRON
Sheikh Professor Abdul Hadi Palazzi, an outspokenly Zionist Muslim
clergyman, was a guest of the Jewish Community of Hebron yesterday.
Sheikh Palazzi, the former Imam of Rome, is the Secretary-General of
the Italian Muslim Association and the Muslim Co-Chairman of the
Islam-Israel Fellowship of the Root and Branch Association. Escorted
by Root and Branch Director Aryeh Gallin, the Sheikh spoke with Hevron
residents and leaders, and visited Tel Rumeida, other Jewish
neighborhoods, and both the Israeli and Arab sides of the Machpela
Cave. Palazzi has often emphasized Jewish rights to Jerusalem and
sovereignty on the Temple Mount.

From: Shophar_Sho_Good

30,000 massacred in Khomeini's 1998 jail purge
http://www.smh.com.au/news/0102/05/world/world9.html
London: Children as young as 13 were hanged from cranes, six at a time, in a
barbaric two-month purge of Iran's prisons on the direct orders of Ayatollah
Khomeini, according to a new book by his former deputy.
More than 30,000 political prisoners were executed in the 1988 massacre - a
far larger number than previously suspected.
Secret documents smuggled out of Iran reveal that, because of the large
numbers of necks to be broken, prisoners were loaded onto forklift trucks in
groups of six and hanged from cranes in half-hourly intervals.
Gruesome details are contained in The Memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali
Montazeri, one of the founders of the Islamic regime. He was once considered
Khomeini's anointed successor, but was deposed for his outspokenness and is
now under house arrest.
Published privately last month after attempts by the regime to suppress it,
the revelations have prompted demands from Iranian exiles for those involved
to be tried for crimes against humanity.
The most damning is Khomeini's fatwa decree calling for all Mujaheddin (as
opponents of the Iranian regime are known) to be killed.
Issued shortly after the end of the Iran-Iraq war in July 1988, the fatwa
reads: "It is decreed that those who are in prisons and remain steadfast in
their support for the [Mujaheddin] are waging war on God and are condemned to
execution."
It goes on to entrust the decision to "death committees" - three-member
panels consisting of an Islamic judge, a representative of the Ministry of
Intelligence, and a state prosecutor.
According to testimony from prison officials, "They would line up prisoners in
a 14-by-five-metre hall in the central office building and then ask simply one
question, 'What is your political affiliation?' Those who said the Mujaheddin
would be hanged from cranes in ... the car park." In two weeks, 8,000 people
were hanged.

TONIGHT'S SUBJECT: The election in Israel. It appears that Ariel Sharon
is headed towards a landslide victory=85what will that mean for the peace
process?
For those of you who signed up for this e-mail at the very beginning,
you'll remember that it seemed like we were covering the Middle East
almost every day. There was violence every day. People were dying every
day. There appeared to be no end in sight. President Clinton was
desperately trying to craft some sort of deal before he left office. This
round of violence began when Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount,
infuriating Palestinians. Whichever side of this issue you may be on,
there is no disagreement about what happened after that day. Violence
swept across Israel and the West Bank.
In the intervening days, we spent almost six weeks on the election mess,
and Israel sort of dropped off the front pages and the newscasts. But now
it is election eve. Prime Minister Barak seems headed towards certain
defeat. So if Sharon wins, what will that mean for the peace process? Or
will there even be a peace process? And how will the Palestinians react?
There are still hard feelings about Sharon's role in the invasion of
Lebanon back in the '80s. Will his victory lead to increased violence? Or
will he surprise people? You hear people use the phrase "Only Nixon could
go to China," meaning that only a conservative Republican could have
reopened relations with China. Those using that phrase say that only a
hard-liner could convince Israel to accept a final peace deal. As
newspeople say when we have no idea what's really going to happen=85only
time will tell.
So tonight we'll have a report from Israel, a report from the State
Department on the differences in approach between the Clinton
administration and the new Bush administration, and we'll have an
interview with Dennis Ross, the long-time special envoy to the Middle
East, the man at the center of the peace negotiations for many years.

Astronomers hatch plan to move Earth's orbit from warming sun
February 5, 2001
By Dennis Newman
CNN Headline News writer
http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/space/02/05/earth.move/index.html
(CNN) -- A group of astronomers has come up with a plan they claim
will save life on Earth from an early demise. All it takes, they say,
is moving the planet into a different orbit.
Their deadline is about 3.5 billion years in the future. At that
time, the scientists say, the sun will be 40 percent brighter than it
is today and the Earth will be too hot to sustain life. Even looking
just a billion years down the road, the increased brightness of the
sun would cause a "moist greenhouse" effect which will have a
catastrophic impact on the planet.
But what if the Earth could be moved farther away from the sun before
it gets too hot for human life?
Researchers Don Korycansky of the University of California-Santa
Cruz, Gregory Laughlin of NASA, and Fred Adams of the University of
Michigan say the idea of changing the Earth's orbit is
almost, "alarmingly feasible."
The scientists' theory is outlined in a paper entitled "Astronomical
engineering: A strategy for modifying planetary orbit." The paper has
been accepted for publication in the journal "Astrophysics and Space
Science."
The researchers' theory is a twist on the "gravity-assist" technique
used to send spacecraft to the outer planets. The team says that by
shooting a large object (such as an asteroid about 62 miles across)
past the Earth, the planet could be gradually pulled away from the
Sun. It would take thousands of encounters to make a difference. One
million encounters would move the Earth out 41 million miles, or
about 50 percent farther from the sun than it is today.
But the researchers say that if the technique is repeated an average
of every 6,000 years, the orbit could be increased to keep pace with
the Sun's increasing brightness. The result, they say, would be to
keep the Earth habitable for up to an extra 5 billion years.
The scientists say their plan is not without some drawbacks. In order
for this method to work, the asteroid would have to pass by Earth
within about 10,000 miles. If the asteroid comes too close, it might
break up or conceivably even slam into Earth.
Another possible side effect of shooting such a large object past
Earth, the scientists say, would be to increase the planet's
rotation. The encounters would have to be planned so that while some
would cause the Earth to spin faster, others would slow it down back
to normal rotation speed. It's also possible that the moon would be
thrown from its orbit around the Earth during these fly-bys.

Uncertain future for Israel's faithful
Is Orthodox Judaism losing its bite in nation's political system?
Editor's Note: WorldNetDaily correspondent Anthony C. LoBaido
traveled to Israel while stationed in Cyprus recently. He filed this
update on the role of Orthodox Judaism in Israeli politics.
By Anthony C. LoBaido
=A9 2001 WorldNetDaily.com
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID21624
NOCOSIA, Cyprus -- As Israelis go to the polls today, the future of
Orthodox Judaism in the nation's political system appears unclear at
best.
All governmental systems are produced by and depend upon a religious
worldview. The Holy Roman Empire. The Mayans. The United States and,
of course, the modern state of Israel. Historians like Toynbee and
Gibbons have written that any nation that abandons the religious
vision from which it arose is doomed to the dustbin of history.
The Roman Gen. Constantine established virtually overnight a
new "ruling elite" that Christianized the Roman Empire. After
Constantine, the pagan Emperor Julian took power and tried to re-
paganize Rome, but he died after only a few months in power. And
Cyprus was the first nation in the world to be ruled by a Christian,
when the Apostle Paul converted the Roman governor to Christianity in
the first century A.D.
Writing in "When Nations Die," author J. Nelson Black explains that
the religious worldview of the ruling elite in any particular society
can have a great impact on its influence and very survival as a
nation-state: "Clearly, there was a purpose in history that was
beyond human invention. When the people of Israel were lifted up, it
was to fulfill their prophetic decrees; and when they were brought
down, it was to fulfill another stage of history."
In terms of the modern state of Israel -- caught in another flux when
considering the path today's elections will lead the nation --
Black's thesis paints a gloomy picture on the horizon.
Although founded under the belief in "Zionism" exposed by great
political thinkers such as Theodore Hertzl, Israel's declaration of
Independence refers to "the rock Israel" and not to the God of the
Old Testament. Modern Israel is not technological backwater. Rather,
it is a vibrant high-tech society. In fact, its high-tech industry
produces some of the finest products of its kind on Earth. Israel has
the finest collection of air force pilots on the planet, nuclear
weapons, and leads the world in the field of scientific farming.
Israel is also a nation that has grown comfortable with American-
style political spin-doctoring. For example, Clinton attack dog James
Carville even helped handle Prime Minister Ehud Barak's drive to
become prime minister a few years ago.
Yet today, just as some would say traditionally minded Christians
have been marginalized in American politics, so too have Orthodox
Jews come under fire in Israel's political machinations.
For over 50 years, Israel has had no problems with the issue
of "separation of church and state." But all that may be about to
change. Last September, Barak, who some call the "Tony Blair of
Israel," asked his Labor Party to hold a special session in order to
advance Barak's ideas of a new "social and civil agenda" aimed at
secularizing the state of Israel.
Among Barak's proposals are eliminating the religious identity
statement on national ID cards. (A similar campaign is under way in
Greece.) Barak also wants to rewrite Israel's constitution, allow
Jews to marry non-Jews, terminate the Ministry of Religious Affairs
and enable El Al, the nationalized flagship air carrier, to fly on
the Sabbath.
As more of Israel's citizens continue to drift into secularism and
away from their religious roots, Barak has tried to appease this
growing block of non-Orthodox voters. The divide between believers
and secular citizens in Israel may well tear that nation apart.
Indeed, a recent poll found that almost 85 percent of Israeli
citizens believe the religious-secular issue "threatens the very
existence of the state."
There are approximately 4,300,000 eligible voters in Israel today,
about half of whom support Barak's initiatives. About half a million
of the Jewish state's residents are recent emigrants from Russia.
Six religious parties wield immense power in the Israeli political
process. Critics claim these parties have become corrupt, along with
the secular parties. Orthodox Jews, though not large in numbers, have
played a significant role in shaping the policies of Israel's
governments over the past five decades. In exchange for their support
for Labor Party initiatives, the Orthodox parties received financing
for religious courts, schools and synagogues, not to mention a
plethora of high-level ministerial positions in the Cabinet.
The Israeli victory in the 1967 Six-Day War brought many Israelis
into the more right-leaning factions and Orthodox religious camp.
Believing that God had granted the Jews victory and a mandate to
restore the biblical boundaries of ancient Israel, the hawkish
segment of society rose in prominence. Victory in the 1973 Yom Kippur
War, the 1982 War with Lebanon and attack on Iraq's Osiraq nuclear
bomb-making plant fueled this view among religionists and rightists
in and out of Israel.
Yet traditional Orthodox Judaism -- called "haredim" or "those who
fear God" -- remained focused on studying the Torah while living in
European-style ghettos and sporting black clothes.
Orthodox students were made exempt from military service -- which led
to resentment in the general population, all of whom must serve at
some point in the army. In spite of this, they did manage to take
control of Judaism's holiest shrines and push government
administrations to enforce Old Testament law. When Barak's minister
of education announced he wanted to withhold money from Orthodox
religious schools, a haredim rabbi -- called "haredi" -- publicly put
a curse on the minister.
On the other hand, the neo-Orthodox crowd carried around Galil
machine guns, sent pioneers to the West Bank and in general focused
on territorial expansion. The two streams of Orthodoxy did form a
strong alliance, yet never merged into a monstrous political-cultural
block, limiting its influence in the political spectrum and in the
culture. This alliance, however, did shift the balance of power in
Israel from the left to the right.
High-tech worker Ilsa Christie, a Norwegian from Oslo who has lived
in Israel for 10 years with her Israeli boyfriend, told
WorldNetDaily.com: "I speak Hebrew now and have tried to fit into
this society. But like the black Ethiopian Jews, I will always be
considered an outsider. The power of religion is very strong in this
nation, as it should be. Sometimes this creates problems. Orthodox
Jews are frightened at the moral decline in Israel, as they should
be. But many non-Orthodox Jews are also worried about the moral
direction of our country. We should be working together for the sake
of our children, not fighting at each other's throats. We have enough
external enemies as it is."
Christie said she supports some of Barak's proposals, like "allowing
non-Orthodox Israeli citizens to travel on bus routes on the
Sabbath." She added, "My boyfriend and I might have to fly to Norway
or Cyprus to get married, because I am a Christian, and the Israeli
rabbinate -- which has a monopoly on the marriage issue -- won't
allow us to marry. People who love each other should be together. I
read the Old Testament and study it every day. I believe in the same
God as the Orthodox Jews do. I tell you I know the Old Testament
better than most Israelis that I meet in the course of my day. Some
of them don't even know the basic stories of Noah or Lot or Daniel in
the lion's den."
Christie then added, "Remember, Jesus said, `The Sabbath was made for
man, not man for the Sabbath.' We should follow that theme when it
comes to the bus routes and other minor issues. But the Orthodox
community feels under siege when they see Barak wanting to give away
the Temple Mount to the United Nations. I see this as the fulfillment
of Bible prophecy, but try telling them that."
Asked about how ordinary Israelis view the traditional and de facto
Orthodoxy, Christie said, "It's funny. Most Jews look at their rabbis
as being the kind of devout Jews they themselves don't have the time
to be. The traditional Orthodox Jews are seen as 'real Jews.'" The
new Orthodoxy branch and its followers expanding into the West Bank
are viewed as the real Zionists, the real pioneers and the real
cowboys. The trouble is, the world is shrinking, not expanding, so
unless you start a colony on the Moon, chances are you're going to
run into violent opposition when you try to expand your territory --
especially in the Middle East."
Fundamentalism has reached its peak in Israel and the West, some
would argue, although Islamic and Hindu fundamentalism are
unquestionably growing in power in the Middle East and India. In this
regard, nationalism is not enough. A "civil state" that ignores
racial and religious and cultural heritage is an abomination to
fundamentalists of all religions.
Fundamentalists in general seek a broad "sense of community" ruled by
some sort of "divine" regimen of rules handed down by God. Islamic
fundamentalism has made the prospect of peace with Israel almost
impossible to consider.
"'Kill a Jew and go to paradise' is not exactly a slogan for peace,"
said Christie.
Zionism has Orthodox Jewish, fundamentalist Christian and secular
roots. Fundamentalist Christians in the UK, which controlled
Palestine before the creation of the state of Israel, believed that
Great Britain could fulfill Bible prophecy by creating a homeland for
the Jews.
Finding a new identity for modern Israel will be no easy task. For
the Orthodox Jews, who have high birth rates and relatively low
economic status, they will find themselves increasingly in need of
government assistance from future liberal non-religious Israeli
governments.
As Israeli citizens participate in today's general election, the
central question for the populace is one that has been asked by great
historical figures down through the centuries, from Christ to Abraham
Lincoln: "Can a house divided against itself remain standing?"

State Department: Don't say 'peace process'
By ELI J. LAKE
http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=157678
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- The State Department has instructed its
field officers in the Middle East to stop using the term "peace
process" when referring to the stalled negotiations between
Palestinians and Israelis, according to an internal e-mail obtained
by United Press International.
In one of his first acts since taking office as secretary of state,
Colin Powell has told diplomats in the region to drop the phrase
because "it's hard to recognize a process when we are trying to get a
hold of the violence," according to one State Department official.
An e-mail from the Near East Affairs Bureau sent recently to State
Department officials in the region says, "We no longer are referring
to a 'peace process.' It is 'negotiations for peace' or 'movement
towards peace' or, simply, the 'peace negotiations.' This is because
we are not concerned so much with the process, but the outcome --
peace. Please try to remove 'peace process' from your lexicon, and,
instead, use one of these more accurate phrases, or something equally
imaginative."
The policy marks a shift away from the Clinton administration which
liked the term so much it created a separate office within the State
Department, the Special Middle East Coordinator, to solely promote
the process started in 1993 in Oslo, Norway. Under Powell though,
that office will be abolished and its function -- monitoring and
promoting the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations -- will be subsumed
under the Near East Affairs Bureau.
The move is likely to be seen as part of generalized downgrading of
the importance attached to the region by the administration.
Commenting on the role of Vice President Cheney, Natan Sharansky --
the Israeli politician widely tipped to be the country's next foreign
minister -- recently told UPI "I definitely feel that this
government, and he personally, will be much less interested in being
involved so deeply in the peace process, in decision making."
President Clinton worked tirelessly until the final hours of his time
in office to reach an agreement to end the 52-year conflict in
Israel, despite the violent clashes between both sides since Sept. 28
that have claimed nearly 400 lives, the majority Palestinian. In
January, Clinton offered a plan that would have both sides share
Jerusalem; carve a Palestinian state from the West Bank and Gaza
Strip; and compensate Palestinians living as refugees through an
international fund. But talks foundered on the vexed issue of whether
Palestinians should have the right to return to their homes abandoned
during Israel's war of Independence.
The future of the peace process will depend largely on who Israelis
vote in as the next prime minister in Tuesday's elections. Likud
leader, Ariel Sharon, is a prohibitive favorite in the contest and
has said during his campaign that he would offer Arafat far less than
current Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Speaking last month at the Council
on Foreign Relations, Sharon said he would not offer any sovereignty
of Jerusalem, recognize a Palestinian right of return or compromise
security in the Jordan valley.
Meanwhile, Palestinian activists have vowed to make Tuesday a "day of
rage," in Israel with mass demonstrations.
Powell has said he would wait until the results of Tuesday's prime
minister elections in Israel to develop a strategy for dealing with
the potential crisis there. Monday, State Department spokesman,
Richard Boucher said that it was incumbent on both sides "to remember
that it's a time to maintain calm and to avoid any sort of
provocation."

Subject: [bprlist] Hindus and Muslims alike are begging Mother Earth for forgiveness
From: owner-bpr@philologos.org

Sin was to to blame for quake, say priests
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/world/2001/0206/wor9.htm
Hindus and Muslims alike are begging Mother Earth for forgiveness,
Rahul Bedi reports from Ahmedabad.
INDIA: Victims of India's earthquake have vowed to lead a life of
piety after local priests declared that the earth, revered as the
Mother Goddess, had roared and erupted under the weight of their
sins.
Over 30,000 people are feared dead and thousands of others were left
homeless when India's worst earthquake in half a century struck
western Gujarat state's Kutch region last month. "Bad deeds are
blacker than mascara, and sins are heavier than the earth," said
Gosai Haripur, a priest from Dhori, one of hundreds of villages and
towns devastated in the January 26th earthquake, which measured 7.9
on the Richter scale. "Why else would mother earth cause so much
havoc," he asked.
Mavji Bijal, a farmer, said thousands of villagers across Kutch had
taken note of the priestly warnings and decided to become more
religious. The men, he declared, had vowed not to quarrel with one
another over land disputes while women had promised to stop harassing
their daughters-in-law, a common problem in India's joint families.
"The belief that the tremors were caused by the earth venting its
rage cuts across religious lines," Vejiben, the Hindu headwoman of
Dhrang village in Kutch, said.
All surviving Muslim and Hindu women in Dhrang and surrounding areas,
she declared, have begun "appeasing" Mother Earth through prayers and
offerings, begging her for mercy as severe aftershocks frequently rip
though the area. Nearly 375 aftershocks, some measuring 4.8 on the
Richter scale, have rocked the area since the initial tremor.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged brother and sister were pulled out alive
from the rubble yesterday after 10 days trapped in their kitchen. The
army had been getting ready to bring in bulldozers to raze the
damaged buildings around them when a patrol spotted someone waving
from a small barred window.
But aid workers were concerned about survivors venturing back into
cracked and weakened buildings. "People are still living in places
where I would not even send my team because they are so dangerous.
Thousands of people are living in such places," said Colin Deiner,
leader of the South African Urban Search and Rescue Team in Bhuj.
"When it's time to die, it's time to die. Death is decreed by God,"
said Mukesh Shah, who has reopened his small grocery store in a
damaged multi-storey building in Bhuj, in a desperate effort to
restore some normality in his existence. "We lost everything in the
earthquake and I would rather be dead than beg on the street," he
added.
The only people to profit from Gujarat's devastating earthquake are
the scrap dealers, who are buying up tons of debris, including iron
girders, broken doors and windows, reinforced steel and other
construction material.
"It's not as if we are hoping to make money from a tragedy, but there
should be a lot of work for us now," said Keshubhai Seth, a scrap
dealer in Ahmedabad, the state's financial capital where over 660
people died after some 50 high rise buildings were damaged and
thousands of cars and motorcycles crushed.
Truckloads of debris are also being dumped daily on a clearing by the
Sabarmati River, which flows through Ahmedabad, where hundreds of rag
pickers were sifting the piles for useful items to sell to scrap
dealers.

Experts say terrorists hiding message on Web
By Jack Kelley, USA TODAY
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/2001-02-05-ejihad.htm
WASHINGTON - Osama bin Laden and other Muslim extremists are posting
encrypted, or scrambled, photographs and messages on popular Web
sites and using them to plan terrorist activities against the United
States and its allies, U.S. officials say. The officials say bin
Laden and his associates are using the Internet to conduct what some
are calling "e-jihad," or holy war.
Bin Laden, a dissident Saudi businessman, has been indicted for the
1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in East Africa and is believed to
be responsible for last fall's bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. Four
alleged bin Laden associates went on trial Monday in federal court in
New York on charges relating to the embassy bombings.
"To a greater and greater degree, terrorist groups, including
Hezbollah, Hamas, and bin Laden's al Qaida group, "are using
computerized files, e-mail, and encryption to support their
operations," CIA Director George Tenet wrote last March to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. The testimony, at a closed-door hearing,
was later made public.
Through weeks of interviews with U.S. law-enforcement officials and
experts, USA TODAY has learned new details of how extremists hide
maps and photographs of terrorist targets - and post instructions for
terrorist activities - on sports chat rooms, pornographic bulletin
boards and other popular Web sites. Citing security concerns,
officials declined to name the sites. Experts say it's difficult for
law enforcement to intercept the messages.
"It's something the intelligence, law-enforcement and military
communities are really struggling to deal with," says Ben Venzke,
special projects director for iDEFENSE, a cyberintelligence company.
Officials and experts say the Internet is a new form of the "dead
drop," a Cold War-era term for where spies left information.
Officials and experts say the messages are scrambled using free
encryption programs set up by groups that advocate privacy on the
Internet. Those same programs also can hide maps and photographs in
an existing image on selected Web sites. The e-mails and images can
be decrypted only with a "private key" or code.
"The operational details and future targets, in many cases, are
hidden in plain view on the Internet," Venzke says. "Only the members
of the terrorist organizations, knowing the hidden signals, are able
to extract the information."
Officials say bin Laden began using encryption five years ago, but
recently increased its use after U.S. officials revealed they were
tapping his satellite telephone calls in Afghanistan and tracking his
activities.
"We will use whatever tools we can - e-mails, the Internet - to
facilitate jihad against the (Israeli) occupiers and their
supporters," Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the founder of the militant Muslim
group Hamas, said in a recent interview in the Gaza Strip. "We have
the best minds working with us."

Bush Government Retreats:
The American Embassy Will Not Be Move to Jerusalem
Thus says the Lord:
I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem
Yesterday (February 5, 2001) the American Secretary of State, Colin
Powell, retreated from Bush's campaign promise to start moving the
Embassy of the United States from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. President
Bush had promised that his first step on taking office would be to
move the Embassy.
Powell stated that this is a time of tension and a lot of violence in
the area and there are new elections in Israel. They would continue to
check when the process can be started. He said that they would
continue to check the situation but would not yet take any steps to
move the embassy. President Bush's National Security Adviser,
Condoliza Rice, also said that the new administration is still
committed to move the embassy but she was not ready to say when it
would be done.
It is so sad for the American people that their new president is not
fulfilling his promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem just as his
predecessor did during his term of office. In his election campaign,
President Clinton promised to move the embassy to Jerusalem but when
he came to office he did not fulfil the decision of Congress to do so.
Every time he found another excuse to delay the implementation of this
decision. So many people in the United States who voted for President
Bush because they believed that he would stand with Israel and
Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the G-d and people of Israel
especially at this critical time when Israel is experiencing terror
and violence by the terrorist Yasser Arafat and the PLO. These voters
are deeply disappointed that President Bush and his administration are
behaving in exactly the same was as the previous administration
behaved. This decision of the new administration was taken because, as
with previous administrations, they are not yet ready to recognise
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Jerusalem is, and will always be, the eternal capital of the G-d and
people of Israel whether the administration moves the American embassy
to Jerusalem or not. The destiny of Israel will not be decided in
Washington and not by any president of the United States or any other
head of state in the world but only by the G-d of Israel and in
Jerusalem. The prophetic Word of the G-d of Israel throughout the
Bible promises very clearly before all the nations that He will stand
with Israel forever and that His covenant with Abraham and his seed,
Israel, is an eternal covenant. He promised Israel that in these
prophetic godly times in which we are now living, which He called the
end-times, He will redeem Jerusalem and His holy mountain and again
make them His eternal capital and that of Israel.
I will bring the prophetic Word of G-d that He promised to Israel and
stated before all the nations who do not want to recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel and move their embassies there. It is so sad
for all of these 154 nations that they do not want to obey the Word of
G-d and recognise Him and Israel in Jerusalem. This is the Word of G-d
to all of them at this critical time: "The word of the Lord of hosts
came to me, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts; I was zealous for
Zion with great zeal, and I was zealous for her with great fury. Thus
says the Lord: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of
Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth; and the
mountain of the Lord of hosts the Holy Mountain. Thus says the Lord of
hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in the streets of
Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for the fullness
of days. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls
playing in its streets. Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it is
marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days,
should it also be marvelous in my eyes? says the Lord of hosts. Thus
says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east
country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they
shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people,
and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."
(Zechariah8:1-8)
Israel does not the recognition of any nation in the world that
Jerusalem is her eternal capital. Israel has the eternal promise of
the G-d of Israel and the Universe that Jerusalem is, and will always
be, His and Israel's eternal capital. We have the Holy One of Israel,
our beloved Creator, together with us in Jerusalem. So who else do we
need. It would be just a privilege and a blessing for all the nations
if their embassies were in Jerusalem and in this way to recognise the
G-d and people of Israel, the Word of G-d and His determined decision
to make Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. They have missed this
great opportunity and moment by continuing to stand against Jerusalem
and the word of G-d. When they decide to do so, it will be too late.
It is so sad that the American presidents did not fulfil the will of
their nation to recognise Jerusalem as the only and eternal capital of
the G-d and people of Israel and stand strongly with Israel with no
doubts especially at this critical time.
Israel stands strongly with the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, our
Creator, and His eternal covenant with Israel with no fear of anyone,
only of our beloved G-d. G-d repeatedly taught us not to fear even all
the nations together but just to trust Him and we are doing so. He
taught Israel to be different and separate from all the nations who
did not obey his Word and placed the golden idol of materialism in the
midst of their lives. We trust in our beloved G-d Who, more than 4000
years ago, made Jerusalem His capital and that of Israel when He sent
Abraham and Isaac to Mt. Moriah and when, more than 3000 years ago, He
commanded King David to make Jerusalem the eternal capital of the G-d
and people of Israel and when He commanded King Solomon to build His
house on Mt. Moriah in the midst of Jerusalem. Who can change the
Word of G-d? Soon all these nations who are fighting against Jerusalem
and Israel will understand what delusions they had and that the Word
of G-d that He will judge them in Jerusalem will soon become a clear
reality.
Today this is the Word of G-d to all the nations: "The burden of the
word of the Lord concerning Israel, says the Lord, who stretches out
the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the
spirit of man inside him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of
reeling to all the people around, and it shall also be against Judah
in the siege against Jerusalem. And on that day I will make Jerusalem
a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all who burden themselves with
it shall be grievously hurt. And all the peoples of the earth shall be
gathered together against it. On that day, says the Lord, I will
strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness; and I will
open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of
the nations with blindness. And the governors of Judah shall say in
their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength through the
Lord of hosts their God. On that day I will make the governors of
Judah like a hearth of fire among trees, and like a torch of fire in a
sheaf; and they shall devour all the peoples around, on the right hand
and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own
place, in Jerusalem. And the Lord shall save the tents of Judah first,
that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants
of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. On that day
shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he who is
feeble among them shall be as David on that day; and the house of
David shall be like a divine being, like the angel of the Lord before
them. And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to
destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour
upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look towards me,
regarding those whom the nations have pierced; and they shall mourn
for him, as one mourns for an only son, and shall be in bitterness
over him, as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn." (Zechariah
12:1-10) "Behold, the day of the Lord comes, and the plunder taken
from you shall be divided in your midst. For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the
houses rifled, and the women raped; and half of the city shall go into
exile, and the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the
city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand on
that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the
east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in its midst toward the
east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
half of the mountain shall be moved toward the north, and half of it
toward the south. And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains;
for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; yes, you shall
flee, like you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the holy ones with you.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall not be bright
light nor thick darkness; But it shall be one day which shall be known
to the Lord, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at
evening time there shall be light. And it shall be on that day, that
living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the
eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in
winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; on
that day the Lord shall be one, and his name one. ... And every pot in
Jerusalem and in Judah shall be sacred to the Lord of hosts; and all
those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and cook in them; and
on that day there shall not be Canaanites any more in the house of the
Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 14:1-9,21)
I also advise all the nations to read very carefully the Word of G-d
through the prophet Isaiah: "Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who
has drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; you have drunk
to the dregs the bowl of staggering. ... Thus says your Lord the Lord,
and your God who pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken
from your hand the cup of staggering, the deep bowl of my fury; you
shall no more drink it again. But I will put it into the hand of those
who afflict you; who have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may
pass over; and you have laid your body like the ground, and like the
street, for them to pass over. Awake, awake; put on your strength, O
Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; from
now on there shall no more come to you the uncircumcised and the
unclean. Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O
Jerusalem; loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive
daughter of Zion. For thus says the Lord, You have sold yourselves for
nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money. For thus says the
Lord God, My people went down the first time to Egypt to sojourn
there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore,
what have I here, says the Lord, that my people is taken away for
nothing? Those who rule over them howl, says the Lord; and my name
continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall know my
name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks;
behold, here I am. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of
him who brings good news, who announces peace; who brings good news of
good, who announces salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns! The
voice of your watchmen is heard; together shall they sing; for they
shall see eye to eye, when the Lord returns to Zion. Break forth into
joy, sing together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted
his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has made bare his holy
arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth
shall see the salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there,
touch no unclean thing; go out from her midst; be clean, you who bear
the utensils of the Lord. For you shall not go out with haste, nor go
by flight; for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will
be your rear guard." (Isaiah51:17,22,23;52:1-12)
This is a time of testing for all the nations. G-d is testing them
through His people, Israel, through His holy mountain, the Temple
Mount, and Jerusalem. It is such a disappointment for them that they
do not rise up to meet this godly test. G-d promise Abraham that "I
will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you."
So many nations decided not to pay attention to this very important
Word of G-d and not to bless but to curse. They will carry the
responsibility for their anti-godly and anti-Israeli behaviour.
The G-d of Israel is sending His blessings and love to all those many
people all over the world who decided with such righteousness to stand
together with Israel, the people of G-d who suffered so much in the
exile and who G is now redeeming before all the nations in Jerusalem,
the Temple Mount and the land of the covenant with Israel. These
wonderful people of whom the prophets spoke have opened their good
hearts with such great love to walk together with Israel and to help
her to replant her roots in the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land
of Israel. The G-d and people of Israel will never forget them and
their righteousness and their fearless stand with Israel at a time
when it was so needed. These wonderful people understand that it was
no accident that G-d brought Israel back to His holy mountain,
Jerusalem and the chosen land of Israel but it was to fulfil His
eternal purpose when He called Abraham for his eternal mission and
created the people of Israel. "Now therefore, if you will obey my
voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own treasure
among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; And you shall be to me a
kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you
shall speak to the people of Israel." (Exodus 19:5-6) "Thus says the
Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of
salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for
a covenant of the people, to restore the land, and to assign desolate
inheritances to their owners. That you may say to the prisoners, Go
forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed
in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They
shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike
them; for he who has mercy on them shall lead them, by the springs of
water shall he guide them. And I will make all my mountains a way, and
my highways shall be raised up. Behold, these shall come from far;
and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the
land of Sinim. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break
forth into singing O mountains; for the Lord has comforted his people,
and has mercy upon his afflicted." (Isaiah49:8-13)
"But Zion says, The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten
me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, even they may forget, but I
will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you upon the palms of my
hands; your walls are continually before me. Your children shall make
haste; your destroyers and those who destroyed you shall go away from
you. Lift up your eyes around, and behold; all these gather themselves
together, and come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you shall surely
dress yourself with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on
you, as a bride does. For your destruction and your desolate places,
and the land of your destruction, shall now be too narrow for your
inhabitants; and those who swallowed you up shall be far away. The
children who were taken away from you shall say again in your ears,
The place is too narrow for me; give me room to dwell in. Then shall
you say in your heart, Who has borne me these, seeing I have lost my
children, a solitary, an exile, and a wanderer to and fro? and who has
brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where have they
been? Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the
nations, and set up my standard to the people; and they shall bring
your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon
their shoulders. And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their
queens your nursing mothers; they shall bow down to you with their
face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you
shall know that I am the Lord; for those who wait for me shall not be
ashamed." (Isaiah49:14-23)
To all these wonderful friends of the G-d and people of Israel who
joined themselves with Israel at this critical time G-d directed His
Word when He said: "for those who wait for me shall not be ashamed."
To all these wonderful friends G-d promised with great love and
appreciation: "Thus says the Lord, Keep judgment, and do justice; for
my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on
it; who keeps the sabbath and does not profane it, and keeps his hand
from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the stranger, who has
joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord has completely
separated me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a
dry tree. ... Also the sons of the stranger, who join themselves to
the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his
servants, every one who keeps the sabbath and does not profane it, and
all who hold fast to my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy
mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt
offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my
house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. The Lord God
who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to
him, beside those who are already gathered. All you beasts of the
field, come into the forest, to devour all the beasts that are there."
(Isaiah 56:1-3,6-9)
I advise all the nations and powers all over the world and President
Bush to pay close attention to the above Words of G-d; to accept them
and to obey the decision of G-d to again make Jerusalem, the city of
King David, His and Israel's eternal capital, to remove the
abomination from His holy mountain, to rebuild His holy temple in our
lifetime, and to redeem the people and land of Israel. None of the
nations can change this decision of G-d. The redemption of Israel has
a deep meaning for all the nations of the world. The destiny of all
the world is connected with the destiny of Israel and here, in
Jerusalem only as the capital of the people of Israel, it will be
decided. There is a prophetic eternal condition and law that when
Jerusalem and the holy mountain of G-d are the complete and eternal
capital of the G-d and people of Israel then it will become the
capital of all the earth.
Very soon the G-d of Israel and the Universe is going to fulfil His
long prophetic vision and dream for Jerusalem: "The word that Isaiah
the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come
to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall
be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above
the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go
and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the
house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we
will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the
word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations,
and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. O
house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord."
(Isaiah2:1-5)
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, together with
these wonderful friends of Israel and the Movement, are committed and
dedicated with all their devotion and with no fear of anyone or any
enemy only G-d, to fulfil this great godly prophetic end-time vision
and to make it a reality in our lifetime. This is what G-d expects of
us and we are so privileged and blessed to serve Him in these critical
and exciting end-times. We are strong with the G-d of Israel; we trust
Him with all our hearts; we are faithful to His Word and promises; and
we so want to see their fulfilment in our lifetime. With all my heart
I trust these promise of G-d and I know that soon we shall see their
fulfilment in our lifetime. Soon we shall stand hand-in-hand before
the G-d of Israel in His rebuilt house in Jerusalem and we shall
worship him and love Him with all our hearts, souls and strength and
we shall thank Him for the great privilege that He gave us of serving
Him and His prophetic end-time plans at this great and critical time.
Blessed will be all the faithful. Blessed will be all those who give
their help and assistance to the Temple Mount Faithful Movement in
their holy work and activities to open a godly era in the life of
Israel and all mankind. 2000/02/06

SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS
VOP escalated its verbal pummeling of Ariel Sharon Tuesday, but
stopped just short of a direct endorsement of Ehud Barak. VOP
basically said "++Sharon is an evil monster++", pronouncing him a
racist and Fascist as well as a mass murderer, even as it largely
ignored the call by many Israeli Arab politicians and Islamic
leaders for a boycott or a blank ballot.
During VOP's morning news shows, it portrayed Sharon as someone who
continued to flout the law in Israel and Arab sensibilities,
asserting that Sharon was planning to make an illegal campaign
appearance in the "colony of Giloh" in Jerusalem (i.e. the Jerusalem
neighborhood that had been targeted by Palestinian snipers for
several weeks).
The Palestinian Authority Minister of Information, Yasser Abd-Rabbo,
was the featured 8:05 am Tuesday morning interview, and he said that
Sharon represented the "extremist right wing" in Israel and
its "fascist" approach to the use of power. (SEE INTERVIEW BELOW)
In its news summaries, VOP said "Israeli voters are choosing between
the head of the Labor party, Ehud Barak, and the extremist, right-
winger, the leader of the Likud party, Ariel Sharon." Barak was
pictured as indecisive and a sure loser, while Sharon was depicted as
a fascistic mass murderer. There was no mention in the headlines of
the option of boycotting the elections or casting a blank ballot.
The tone of programming is reflected by anchorman Samir Interr's
Monday morning political profile summation of Sharon:
"Ariel Sharon has a history spattered with blood and massacres."
At the same time, VOP did not hide its disappointment with Barak,
calling him inconsistent and indecisive, and VOP gave a lot of air
time to coverage of what it called continuing Israeli aggression.
Elsewhere VOP gave unusually great prominence to the demands of
Libyan leader Muamar Qadhafi that sanctions be lifted against his
country and that international figures such as Nelson Mandela review
the Lockerbie verdict.
At the same time, VOP continues to champion the cause of Saddam
Hussein's emergence from isolation and his forging of new economic
and political ties.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Some people could say 'they're all the same. And one can work with
Sharon the way one worked with his predecessor.' That is not serious
talk. And any such talk is a blow to Palestinian interests." (From
Tuesday morning interview with Yasser Abd-Rabbo, 8:05 am)
Quotes from Interview with Yasser Abd-Rabbo, PA Minister of
Information and Culture Q: "What is the official approach to what is
currently taking place in Israel?" A: really, what is occurring right
now represents looks like an increase in the power of the extremist
Israeli Right as well as an attempt by this Power (i.e. the Right)
to pile up its ranks to consolidate authority in Israel in order
to carry out its platform (or program)-a program of settlement,
smoothing the way for and remaining in occupation, a program
against the Palestinian people and a program completely against
peace, the peace process and the peace agreements. This is the
program which is being candidly announced by the racist and Fascist
Israeli Right led by Sharon.
Therefore at the very beginning we believe that there is not only a
danger from Sharon, but this is not a call for voting this way or
voting that way, but something else. That is our eyes have to remain
open. And one must not say 'it does not matter one way or the other
because they're (the Israeli candidates) all the same. There's no
difference. The worse it gets, the better.' That would all be, in all
candor, irresponsible voting which does not take into account the
priorities and the dangers lurking for the Palestinian people and its
struggle. Some people could say 'they're all the same. And one can
work with Sharon the way one worked with his predecessor.' That is
not serious talk. And any such talk is a blow to Palestinian
interests.
We have to confront the Sharon phenomenon, the appearance of
extremist and Fascist power, aggression and war in Israel. This is a
power that is increasing its aggression against the Palestinian
people and the violation of its rights..The settlers are beginning to
return to the forefront from which they had departed. .These are the
beginnings of the Sharon phenomenon and the beginnings of the battle
which has to be fought across a broad front, before the elections and
during the elections and after the elections. Immediately. The power
of the Palestinian people wherever it is-inside Israel, in occupied
Palestinian territory, and this power also includes all the backers
of peace-to nullify Sharon and his policy inside Israel, inside the
region and globally.

Subject: [bprlist] The Fly-By Technique.
From: Pam
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 14:34:21 -0500
The news item: "Astronomers hatch plan to move Earth's orbit from
warming sun." states a possible side effect of ‘shooting´ a large
object past the earth would be an increase or decrease in the earth´s
rotation.
This could be the means by which God made the ‘shortest day´, Joshua
10:13 "…the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go
down about a whole day,…".
Also, we are told, in Daniel 7:25 "And 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." This ‘fly-by
technique could be how the beast could "…think to change the times (or
seasons) and the laws (or decrees);".
Just some thoughts..
God Bless you. Charlie Baker

Speech by Prime Minister Elect Ariel Sharon
February 7, 2001
Good evening, and a wonderful evening to all of you. My friends,
Silvan Shalom, chairman of my headquarters, and Reuven Rivlin,
chairman of the parliamentary faction, all members of Knesset,
from this large camp who are sitting here, people from the Likud
and all the other parties: MK Eli Yishai, MK Natan Sharansky, MK
Avigdor Lieberman, MK Yitzak Levy, Rabbi Menachem Porush and
Rabbi Meir Porush - two generations; Michael Kleiner, my friend
for many years, David Levy, and mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert.
Together with you we have reached this wonderful point, and made
this marvelous achievement.
I want to say that a few moments before I came into the hall,
when I was already in the building, the President of the United
States, President Bush, called me, and asked me to present his
best wishes to you. He told me that they want to cooperate very
closely with the government under my leadership.
He reminded me of the trip I took with him through Samaria and
the Jordan Valley. And he said to me, "No one believed then," he
said, "that I would be president and you would be prime minister. But
as things turned out, despite the fact that no one believed us, I have
been elected president, and you have been elected prime minister."
Citizens of Israel, my colleagues from various parties, today the
State of Israel has embarked on a new path, a path of domestic unity
and harmony, of striving for security and genuine peace.
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support, for
your involvement, for your devotion, for your hard work. As a result
of this work and this great conviction that you and the thousands and
tens of thousands of individual activists throughout Israel have
demonstrated, we have achieved this great victory. We have arrived at
this moment, and to you goes my heartfelt thanks.
Tonight is a very moving and significant night for me. Since my
youth, I have devoted myself entirely to the country, to
consolidating and building its security. In all of my positions,
at all times, whether difficult or joyful, I was accompanied by
my dear late wife, Lily, who supported me wholeheartedly. At this
moment, when the Israeli people have expressed their confidence in me
to lead the country in the coming years, I miss her, and she is not
standing here by my side.
I would also like this evening to thank every single one of
Israel's citizens who have expressed their confidence in me. I
shall do everything in order to succeed in this mission that you
have entrusted to me. This country belongs to all of us, and all
of us have a joint future and a single destiny.
In the course of the years, divisions and rifts have deepened in
our people and society. We have had our fill of anger and
baseless hatred. Now is the time to find common ground, and to
seek out as broad a consensus as possible. There is a deepfelt
desire among the people to stand firmly together to meet the
challenges of the future.
Therefore, I call now for the establishment of as wide a
government of national unity as possible. I appeal to the Labor
Party and call upon it to join us on the basis of a true
partnership in pursuing the difficult path towards security and
peace.
Citizens of Israel, today you have called upon me to lead you as
prime minister of Israel, and to succeed in the mission you have
conferred upon me. In order to do this, I shall need the
confidence of the Knesset, and the maximum support of its
members. We live in a parliamentary system in which the
government functions on the basis of a parliamentary majority. As
prime minister, I will accord full respect to the Knesset and its
members, and my decisions will be clear to all members of the house.
The government, under my leadership, will act to strengthen the
rule of law, and to protect the independence of the judicial
system, which is one of the guarantees of maintaining a
democratic system.
Citizens of Israel, the government, under my leadership, will act to
restore security to the citizens of Israel, and to achieve genuine
peace and stability in the area. I know that peace requires painful
compromise on the part of both sides. Any diplomatic accord will be
founded upon security for all peoples of the region.
I call upon our Palestinian neighbors to cast off the path of
violence and to return to the path of dialogue and to resolve the
conflicts between us by peaceful means.
The government, under my leadership, will act to achieve
realistic political accords that will preserve the existential
and historic interests of Israel, and will be based on mutual
respect and the reciprocal fulfillment of obligations.
We shall act to deepen the special relationships with our great
friend and ally, the United States, and we shall strive to
achieve closer ties between the State of Israel and the countries of
the world.
Israeli society is plagued by many forms of distress, with which
I am familiar. We will do everything we can to eliminate these. A
people cannot exist if there is no social solidarity. We shall act to
reduce the social gaps and to achieve equal opportunity for everyone.
We will turn over a new leaf in our relationships with our
Israeli Arab citizens in order to achieve a genuine partnership
and a feeling of equality among all the country's citizens.
The government, under my leadership, will, alongside the banner
of peace and security, also raise the banner of social
advancement - first and foremost in the realm of education.
And above both banners, the flag of Zionism will be raised, the
flag of national honor, immigration and settlement.
The government which I shall establish will strive to strengthen
and consolidate united Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, and the
eternal capital of the Jewish people, to which we always proclaim our
loyalty, stating, "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand
lose her cunning. May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I
remember thee not, if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy."
The government under my leadership will act to achieve on-going
economic growth, and in this way, we will create new employment
opportunities and reduce unemployment. We will maintain price
stability and prevent the renewal of inflation.
We will implement a responsible national budget without any
increase in the deficit, while at the same time investing in
infrastructure and education. We will reduce the tax burden on
Israeli citizens. We will maintain the principles of a modern,
open economy, based on competition and integration in the world
economy. To achieve these goals, it is my intention to establish
an economic cabinet, which I shall head.
Citizens of Israel, we have a small country which is blessed with
talent and rich with achievement. Let us set out tonight, joining
forces as a single body, with a single heart, on a new path. Together,
we will be able to overcome all the challenges confronting us.
Together, we will be able to realize here all our hopes and our
dreams.
Thank you all.

In the past 24 hours Hebron has been under nothing less than
total war condition. Tanks, big guns, and automatic gun fire has been
constant. Barak has been defeated and Oslo is now officially dead. The
criminals of Oslo are out of power. So why the news black out on
Hebron and other places? I just don't have the answer, but you can
believe me when I tell you they are.
Joel called me on a Cell phone last night, and the shelling and
shooting was so loud he couldn't hear me, and he was in their enclosed
safe place. There was one very loud one, and he said gotta go Bye.
Needless to say we are waiting and not so patiently to hear form him
again. Would appreciate your prayers for Joel and the others with him.
There is a saying in Hebrew, translated it says, "Some days are like
Honey and some are like Onions" meaning some are so very sweet, and
others make you want to cry. Well "they" tell me that you need a few
Onion Days in order to appreciate the Honey Days. Today was an Onion
Day; I had to drive to Jerusalem this afternoon. Jerusalem was in a
dark cloud and it was cold and raining. Often when we leave Bet
Shemesh in the winter we have to drive up through clouds on the way up.
About the time I got in the heavy rain, and cold, the car stopped on
me. On a curve with no place to get off the road. Three hours later
and soaking wet, so cold I thought I'd die, I got some help from a
mechanic friend who drove up from Bet Shemesh for me. Well this story
goes on and on, so the short of it is, I got it fixed and the cost was
over $300. Which nearly completely breaks Connie and I. But praise the
Lord, He is still on the Throne. So I am now waiting on a Honey Day.
Just had to tell you that, not that you wanted to know I am sure. But
do pray for us to be able to purchase a car, this one is ready to go
south.
Sharon has won, as I am sure you know by now. He won by the largest
margin in the history of Israeli elections. He now has the job of
putting together a coalition in the Knesset, no easy job. If he puts
together a narrow base coalition it will be made of Likud with 19
votes, and the rest divided between 9 parities, meaning that anyone of
them can hold the Government hostage for their own selfish reason at
any time. If he gets the Labor Party to join "some how" and with them
other left wing parties, he can have a broad base one and that will
give him some room to move. But Sharon has been around a long time and
knows how to move in the Government, so if anyone can do it, he can.
Regardless of what you hear about Sharon, he is a good man, and an Israeli=
hero. He is loved by a large majority of the Israeli people as
reflected by the vote. He is a true Zionist and with him there is no
chance of the enemies of God getting the Temple Mount or the Jordan
Valley, or Sameria or Judea. (West Bank) He knows he will have to give
something to try to make peace, but the Palestinians are not
interested anything he may have to offer. They want it all "Israel" as
Arafat has proven over the past year.
It may be hours, days or weeks, but you can be sure war is coming, as soon=
as the Arab world can get up their nerve and get into position.
Pray for Joel, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for this ministry. And now =
for
my car to replaced. Shalom Jerry Golden

A Voice from Hebron
by Gary M. Cooperberg
February 7, 2001
Sharon Can bring Real Peace but only with a Jewish Fist
This election was different from all former elections in Israel.
Barak had crossed all red lines and literally was the cause of his
own demise. In a remarkable replay of Netanyahu before him, Barak
let the power of his office go to his head and thought that he could
make peace by violating the most basic of Jewish principles.
Netanyahu was punished for giving Hebron to Arafat, and Barak was
punished for toying with Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Neither
will be forgiven.
Ariel Sharon is remembered as a ruthless and victorious military
leader. His reputation gives him an image of strength and authority.
The question looming before us is "Does his reputation honestly
reflect the Ariel Sharon of today?" Clearly we are heartened to hear
his public vow not to dismantle even one Jewish community in Judea,
Samaria or Gaza. Although he did go to Wye with Netanyahu, and he
has met with PLO people, he has not yet polluted his hand by giving
it to Arafat.
The Ariel Sharon of today is a master politician. He has tremendous
experience negotiating with all party factions and is probably the
only man capable of taking the fragmented conglomerations of parties
which make up the current Knesset and forming a reasonably stable
coalition.
Like just about all other Israeli politicians, despite his historical
iron-fisted approach to our enemies, Sharon has come to terms with
the unthinkable concept of sitting with murderers and trying to
strike a bargain with them. While it is fine to hear him say that he
will not negotiate under fire, as did Barak, what happens if Arafat
decides to stop the violence? If tomorrow Arafat actually prevented
any more shooting of Jews with our own guns is that reason for a
Jewish government to sit down with that beast and discuss terms by
which the Jewish State will recognize PLO rights over any part of
sovereign Jewish land?
The entire approach toward the concept of achieving true peace in the
region must be completely revamped. First and foremost the
government of Israel must remember the very definition of Zionism,
the rhyme and reason by which Jewish sovereignty was returned to the
Land of Israel. We did not come here as conquerors. We did not take
anyone's homeland from them. We came back home to our only homeland
after having been expelled for over two thousand years. And, in all
of that time, there was never another nation which as much as claimed
sovereignty to this country until the PLO was established in 1964.
And at that time not even one Arab nation recognized their claim.
Instead of debating with and trying to accommodate frauds and
scoundrels who openly mock us and unabashedly declare their intention
to take our homeland from us, we must rise up and throw our enemies
out of our homeland before they can make good their heinous
intentions. Arafat and the PLO and all those who identify with them
are enemies of the Jewish State and the Jewish People. One does not
negotiate with such enemies. He ruthlessly destroys them while he
still can. How is it conceivable that any nation would take such an
enemy, give him arms, and retreat before him within his own homeland
as a defeated foe, and this from a position of overwhelming superior
strength? This has got to be an historic precedent-setting act of
monumental stupidity.
Today we are reaping the reward of what is still referred to as
a "peace" process. Yitzchak Shamir presided over the intifada by
declaring we could live with it. He set the precedent of living with
terror. Rather than declare that throwing rocks at passenger cars
traveling on the roads would be brutally stopped, he found a better
solution. He authorized the government to supply shatterproof
windows to those who used the roads and agreed to pay for all damage
caused by Arab rock throwers. The result of that lunacy is the fact
that the new roads which our government spent billions to build for
our safety, have now become shooting galleries for the new intifada.
Jewish commuters have been picked off like sitting ducks as our
government treats these murderous deeds as if they were individual
crimes rather than acts of war.
In true Shamir-like style, our government has provided us with bullet
proof buses, rather than take away the murderers, or at least their
weapons. It seems, however, that there is a limit to how much the
government can afford to pay. Clearly it is too expensive to make
all the cars in YESHA bullet proof. So now, while the government
will certainly pay to repair bullet holes in cars which are shot at,
they cannot repair the murdered occupants of those cars. nor can they
compensate the widows and orphans for the loss of their mothers and
fathers, husbands and wives, resulting from this unchecked war
against the Jewish people by the PLO.
Any honest person knows how peace is made in this world. Peace
negotiations only take place after a war is fought and one side is
clearly a winner. It may not be nice. It may be horrible. But that
is just the way it is. Shimon Peres thinks that he invented the
word "Peace". He succeeded in bulldozing the Jewish government to
try to make peace his way. All he accomplished was to set back the
old-fashioned method of achieving peace by decades, and caused the
unnecessary death of countless Jews and Arabs. And all this will
still not prevent the inevitable war which is coming. On the
contrary. It will guarantee that this war will be far bloodier than
it would have been without the Oslo fiasco.
We can only hope that Sharon still has the common sense and courage
which enabled him to crush terror in the past. There is no moral or
legal impediment for him to undo the Oslo error and restore Jewish
sovereignty to all of our homeland, route out the terrorists
completely and make Israel a safe place in which to live again. In
fact there is a legal, moral and Jewish responsibility to do just
that.

This is a very dangerous attitude. I think it should be noted that any
overt action against the PLO will bring fire from many surrounding
nations.
So what if the U.S.A. doesn't agree with this sort of "peace process"?
Sharon better make sure he has the blessing of the U.S.A. and probably
Russia, before he goes and makes war, lest he face annihilation. One
has to remember that Sadam Hussien is still there and is very ill. What
does a dying man have to loose?
Hopefully Bush will do what is the right thing. That would be to avoid
war and the creation of human suffering. Not just blindly follow
Sharon thinking it is what GOD wants us to do. Remember "he who lives
by the sword, dies by it".

I like this. After all of that, "ruler with a iron fist, and ruthless
destroyer of our enemies" comes ....... hey friends in the U.S.A.

An Upheaval in the Israeli Government
Ariel Sharon Elected as Prime Minister
This Revolution Started on the Temple Mount
Ariel Sharon, the leader of the Likud Part in Israel and ex-general of
the IDF, was yesterday (February 7, 2001) elected as the new Prime
Minister of Israel. He was supported by 62.6% of the voters while only
37.4% supported Ehud Barak. Never before in Israel has a prime
Minister been elected by such a high percentage of the voters.
His election represents a revolution in the attitude of the Israeli
public. This has an important meaning for the past and present and
great application for the future in Israel. More than anything else,
the Israeli public wanted in this way to say a great NO! to the plans
of Prime Minister Barak to compromise with the murderer, Yasser
Arafat, and his PLO terrorists on the Temple Mount, Jerusalem, Judea,
Samaria and Gaza and to accept the plan of ex-president Clinton to
give the Temple Mount, the Old City of Jerusalem, East Jerusalem and
95% of Judea, Samaria and Gaza to establish a terrorist and enemy
so-called "Palestinian" state in all of these areas. Never before in
the 4000-year history of Israel has any leader been ready to give the
Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land to the enemies of Israel or to
anyone else by free will and international agreement. When enemies
attacked Israel and tried to take any part of the land from them,
especially the Temple Mount, the site of the G-d of Israel and His
house, and Jerusalem, they Israelites fought and gave their lives to
save them. Tens of millions of Jews gave their lives in battle for the
Temple Mount and Jerusalem and any other Biblical part of the land.
The Israel nation was shocked when ex-Prime Minister Barak negotiated
with the terrorists about these areas and was ready to give it to them
despite the fact that the G-d of Israel warned His people never to
negotiate or give away any part of the land, especially the Temple
Mount and Jerusalem, which are the heart soul and eternal focus of the
G-d and people of Israel. They could not accept it. It broke their
hearts and they decided to say a resounding NO to Ehud Barak and his
government.
Ehud Barak was not only removed from his position as prime minister
but he did what the G-d and people of Israel expected of him to do: he
decided to retire from the Knesset and from his position as leader of
the Labour party. His behaviour, his plans and his sins which were bad
in the eyes of the G-d of Israel will be remembered in the history of
Israel as a terrible negative time in the her history and as a black
mark. He was only the prime minister for one and a half year and in
such a short time so many bad things happened to Israel. The weakness
of his government encouraged the terrorists of the murderer, Yasser
Arafat, to attack Israel, to carry out terror operations and to murder
many innocent Israelis. For the first time Israelis started to feel
insecure and that the state was in great danger. The Arabs started to
feel that perhaps this was their opportunity to fulfil their
historical goal to destroy Israel. Not only in Iraq and Iran could
these voices be heard but all over the Middle East. The Israeli nation
felt orphaned from leadership and everyone said that we only have our
eternal great Father, the G-d of Israel. There is no doubt that the
G-d of Israel saved us from this terribly dangerous situation as He
has always done. Barak, his plans and his sins were not acceptable to
the G-d of Israel and He removed him from office as He did to all the
other Prime Ministers who tried to give away parts of the land of
Israel to enemies and strangers. This was especially so now when Barak
tried to put his hand on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem which is His
heart and to give it to strangers and murderers. How could he do such
a terrible abomination to the holiness of the Temple Mount and
Jerusalem?!
It was not an accident that the process which led to Sharon's election
was his visit to the Temple Mount four and a half month ago. Sharon's
visit to the Temple Mount itself was also not an accident. G-d put it
in his heart to go up to the Temple Mount after the negotiations over
the Temple Mount and Jerusalem at Camp David to demonstrate the
eternal sovereignty of the G-d and people of Israel over this most
holy site and to give a very clear NO! to the terrible plans to give
it away to the PLO terrorists of the murderer, Arafat. These enemies
of Israel understood very well the meaning of the Sharon's visit to
the Temple Mount and they started the war against Israel with the
encouragement of all the Arab countries and their many allies all over
the world. This was the way of the G-d of Israel to warn Barak and his
government and all the people of Israel of the results of giving away
these holy sites, especially the Temple Mount and Biblical Jerusalem
to strangers and terrorists. When these events started Barak became
weaker and weaker as all the other parties in his coalition left him
one after another. After this even his close friends from his party
and all the people of Israel left him. This was the judgement of G-d
and G-d decided that the man who visited, fought and demonstrated for
Him and His holy mountain should be elected with such a large
majority. It was also a very clear and important message of the G-d of
Israel to His enemy, the terrorist Arafat and his band, the Arab
enemies of Israel and to all the nations of the world that He is
determined to continue to save Israel and not to allow any enemy or
stranger to put his hand on the holy mountain, Jerusalem and the land
of the G-d and people of Israel. In His special way that so many
enemies and nations all over the world do not want or are too blind to
understand, He showed everyone that he is the great Father of Israel
and that He will never allow anyone even to touch them. He showed
everyone that He is determined to continue and to accomplish the one
real process in Israel: the redemption of the people and the land of
Israel, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem. He showed everyone, especially
Israel's enemies, that whether they want it or not, the Temple Mount
will very soon be the site of His holy temple and that Israel should
purify it and immediately rebuild the temple so that the G-d of Israel
will dwell among His people and in the midst of all the earth. He
showed everyone that Jerusalem cannot and will never be a capital of
any strange nation but only the capital of the G-d and people of
Israel and that forever.
For all of these purposes the G-d of Israel caused Sharon to be
elected to be the Prime Minister of Israel at a very godly and
critical time in her history. A very great godly responsibility lies
on the shoulders of Ariel Sharon. G-d has given him a great moment,
privilege and mission. If he will open a new time and way in Israel
and fulfil these purposes of the G-d of Israel then he will have the
blessings of G-d and strength to do so. This will be the climax of his
life and the life of Israel. There is no other way. This is what the
G-d of Israel is saying at this special time. Only this way will open
a great time in the life of Israel and all the world. Ariel Sharon is
called by the G-d of Israel not to fear the many enemies and their
allies. He is called to fear only the G-d of Israel, to trust Him, to
walk together with Him and to do what G-d expects of him at this
critical time of redemption.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement calls on Ariel
Sharon to be faithful to these prophetic end-time purposes for Israel
and all the world. We call on everyone to encourage him to do so and
to stand bravely together with the G-d and people of Israel and The
Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement at this special
time. Very soon we shall see the fulfilment of all G-d's promises to
Israel and all mankind.
In the G-d of Israel we trust.
