Information about the US-Iranian nuclear dialogue is no longer "sensitive." For Obama it's a done deal - www.debka.com   Some US and Israeli media have reported that the Obama administration reduced the exchange with Israel of sensitive information about its nuclear negotiations with Iran - because Binyamin Netanyahu has leaked "details of the US position to the media." This is a skewed account of the situation. The fact is that US President Barack Obama and Iran's President Hassan Rouhani have agreed on the final draft of a comprehensive nuclear accord. Its terms are therefore an open secret. The deal would be in the bag if Iran's paramount leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could be brought round to endorsing it. For now, Washington and Tehran are using media spin tactics in an effort to persuade him. Those tactics were dismissed as "unprofessional media games," by Iranian Foreign Minister spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham Sunday, Feb. 15, when she denied a Wall Street Journal report that Khamenei had answered a letter from the US president.  "There has been no new letter from Iran's side," she asserted in reference to a letter from Obama to Khamenei last October which, according to the US press, suggested cooperation with Iran in fighting the Islamic State.

  No reference was made to the nuclear issue in her remarks. The Iranian leader preserves a sphinx-like silence, which has nothing to do with Binyamin Netanyahu, but does in fact refute Obama's propaganda game that pins the blame on the Israeli prime minister. For five years, Obama ran a back-channel dialogue with Iran. Then too he kept its content secret not just from Israel but from other closely affected allies, Saudi Arabia and certain Gulf emirates. Israel at times offered Washington relevant intelligence on Iran, but was rebuffed.  The Israeli opposition campaigning against Netanyahu and his Likud party for the March 17 election has seized on this dispute to accuse him of jeopardizing the country's strong ties of friendship with the United States - when in fact it is a one-on-one brawl with the US president. Relations would be seriously harmed only if Obama went all the way and cut off military and intelligence ties, a step that would hurt America's strategic interests no less than Israel's.  And indeed, Philip Gordon, the Middle East director for President Obama's National Security Council, arrived in Israel Monday, Feb. 16 for meetings with Israeli national security adviser Yossi Cohen and Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz.  Only last week, Washington had to admit that US intelligence had been taken by surprise by the fall of the pro-American regime in Yemen and Sanaa's takeover by the Iranian-backed rebel Houthis. While reluctant to admit as much, the administration was deeply disappointed by this act of deceit by Tehran, on which the White House counts heavily for military and intelligence cooperation as a trusted ally in the future war against the Islamic State.  Out of Obama's intelligence loop on Iran, Israel may be equally reluctant to share its intelligence data on Yemen or even on the situation in Syria and Iraq.  Israel's Netanyahu is not the only Middle East stand-out against Obama's Iranian policy. Other leaders are in even worse relations with Washington. The Obama administration and Egyptian President Abdel-Fatteh El-Sisi are not even on talking terms, much like the late Saudi monarch Abdullah who died last month. His successor, King Salman has yet to make his intentions towards the United States known. 

 Intel: ISIS planning attacks on U.S. soil - Aaron Klein - http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/intel-isis-planning-attacks-on-u-s-soil/?cat_orig=world   Cells already in place for spring, summer offensive Egypt, now at the forefront of fighting ISIS, is warning it has intelligence revealing the global jihadist group is planning a worldwide offensive this spring or summer that could reach targets within the United States. Interrogations of ISIS members captured in recent weeks in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula Egyptian and information collected by Egyptian security forces indicate ISIS is planning ground offensives this spring and summer aimed at taking over more territory across the Middle Eastern and Persian Gulf, a senior Egyptian intelligence official told WND. Some of the information indicates the new offensive will not be limited to the Arab world. Timed to coincide with its planned surge, ISIS is plotting possible attacks using cells abroad. ISIS and its jihadist allies could activate cells to carry attacks in Europe and possibly within the U.S., the senior Egyptian official warned. The official advocated the deployment of significant ground troops acting on multiple fronts to stop ISIS' progression. He complained the Obama administration and international community has been hesitant to take major action against ISIS advances. Egypt on Monday sent warplanes over the border into Libya to bomb ISIS targets after the terror group's well publicized, savage attack on Egyptian Christians. Egyptian F-16 fighter jets reportedly struck ISIS training camps and weapons depots along Libya's coast, including targets in Derna, where Islamic extremist groups have joined with ISIS. One day earlier, ISIS allies released a video that appears to show the execution of 21 Coptic Christian prisoners. The Coptic Church is headquartered in Egypt.

 The Egyptian government reportedly dispatched its foreign minister to New York in a bid to rally international support for their military intervention in Libya. Last week, WND reported Egypt estimates ISIS and its allies currently boast an army of about 180,000 fighters. An Egyptian intelligence document, the contents of which were obtained by WND, warns that while the U.S. has been attempting to maintain a coalition to fight ISIS, the Islamic terrorist organization has itself been hard at work building a sustainable coalition of jihadist gunmen. The 180,000 figure is up to six times greater than a CIA estimate from last September, which placed the number of ISIS fighters at between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters. According to Egypt, ISIS has created an umbrella army with the Taliban, Al Shabab, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and local jihadist groups from Yemen, Mali, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian Sinai. Cells inside U.S.? There have been numerous claims of ISIS cells embedded in the U.S. Earlier this month, Michael Steinbach, head of the FBI's counter-terrorism division, was asked by CNN whether or not there are ISIS cells in the U.S. Steinbach said, "[T]here are individuals that have been in communication with groups like [ISIS] who have a desire to conduct an attack," and those people are living in the U.S. right now. He conceded the FBI finds it extremely difficult to track every American traveling abroad who can join ISIS or receive training by foreign terrorist organizations. "I'm worried about individuals that we don't know about that have training," Steinbach said. "We know what we know. But there is a number that's greater than that that we don't know." "Once you get to Europe, you can easily get down to Turkey and into Syria," he noted. In August, former CIA officer Bob Baer told CNN he had been "told with

no uncertainty there are ISIS sleeper cells in this country." CNN cited two unnamed U.S. officials rebutting the claim but still expressing concern ISIS militants with passports might travel to the U.S. to launch attacks on American soil. 

 

 North Korea Flight Tests New Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile - Bill Gertz - http://freebeacon.com/national-security/north-korea-flight-tests-new-submarine-launched-ballistic-missile/   Pentagon: KN-11 missile test fired from floating platform North Korea conducted the first flight test of a new submarine-launched ballistic missile last month, defense officials said this week. The flight test of what the Pentagon is calling the KN-11 missile took place Jan. 23 off the coast of North Korea from a sea-based platform-not a submarine-located off the coast of the communist state, said officials familiar with reports of the flight test. U.S. intelligence ships and aircraft monitored the test and tracked the successful missile firing. Additional details of the flight test could not be learned. A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on the test, citing the sensitivity of information about North Korea's SLBM program. The flight test followed a land-based ejection test of the KN-11 in November from a static launcher located at the North's Sinpo South Shipyard in November. Sinpo is a port city on North Korea's southeastern coast about 100 miles from the Demilitarized Zone separating North Korea from rival South Korea. The flight test is being viewed by U.S. intelligence analysts as a significant step forward for Pyongyang's submarine-launched ballistic

missile program. The new program was first disclosed by the Washington Free Beacon Aug. 26. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Vincent R. Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the House Armed Services Committee Feb. 3 that North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs "pose a serious threat to the U.S. and regional allies." "Pyongyang maintains that nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities are essential to ensure its sovereignty," Stewart said in a prepared statement. "Because of its conventional military deficiencies, the DPRK [North Korea] also has concentrated on improving its deterrence capabilities, especially its nuclear technology and ballistic missile forces." Stewart added that DIA is concerned North Korea will conduct a fourth underground nuclear test in the future. The DIA director's testimony made no mention of the SLBM program. But he said: "Pyongyang also is making efforts to expand and modernize its deployed missile forces consisting of close-, short-, medium-, and intermediate-range systems." "It seeks to develop longer-range ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons to the United States and continues efforts to bring its KN-08 road-mobile ICBM to operational capacity. Other analysts assess the SLBM missile will be developed as a nuclear delivery system for Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal. A submarine-launched nuclear missile would add a more-difficult target to U.S. regional deterrence and missile defenses. Since the SLBM program was disclosed last year, South Korea's government has confirmed the program. Rick Fisher, a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, said the use of a floating launch platform indicates the KN-11 could be launched from a military or commercial ship as well as from a submarine. Platform test launches also indicate that the weapon is in an early stage of development and is not ready to be launched from a submerged submarine. "For Pyongyang, using the KN-11 from ships as well as submarines

rapidly increases the number of potential launch platforms, as it also complicates U.S. and allied efforts to monitor a new North Korean missile threat," Fisher said. "Firing the KN-11 from a floating platform is still useful, as it would go far to help verify whether the missile's guidance system is able to compensate very quickly for wave motion in order to achieve the desired trajectory for the greatest accuracy." As for why Pyongyang is building the underwater missile, Fisher said: "The advent of the KN-11 offers North Korea the means to launch missile strikes against U.S. forces in Japan or against South Korea and Japanese targets, from multiple directions, from land bases, and from the sea." Fisher said in response to the missile that the Pentagon should urgently build up additional missile defenses and revive U.S. sea-based tactical nuclear arms in the region to bolster deterrence. The Pentagon's retirement of submarine-launched Tomahawk missile in 2010 was a "major mistake," he said. Bruce E. Bechtol, a North Korea specialist, said the major threat from any North Korean ballistic missile is whether the weapon is mobile-thus more difficult to target-and whether it can hit U.S. cities and carry a nuclear warhead. U.S. intelligence agencies suspect North Korea in 2013 had developed a small nuclear warhead for delivery on long-range missiles after its third nuclear test. "The North Koreans appear to be moving toward at least two of the three key parts of the threat a missile could pose to the United States," said Bechtol, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official currently at Angelo State University. "If and when they are able to launch the SLBM from a submarine, it means a platform that is mobile enough that it would likely be difficult for U.S. missile defenses to track," he said. "The fact that the submarine could move to within just a few miles of American coastlines such as Alaska, Hawaii, or the west coast of the United States, means they could meet the second part of the missile threat to the U.S." North Korea probably obtained small nuclear warhead know-how from the Pakistani nuclear supplier group headed by A.Q. Khan. 

"The fact that the North Koreans have test-launched this missile-even though it was not from a submarine-means that the DPRK is advancing their SLBM program," Bechtol said. "This is a threat-a direct threat-to the United States that should be taken seriously if it comes to fruition." A U.S. think tank, 38 North, last year revealed satellite photos of the Sinpo development site that included a land-based missile test stand and a Soviet-era submarine capable of launching missile from its conning tower. On Jan. 8, 38 North revealed additional satellite photos showing what it calls the Sinpo-class missile submarine with one or two missile launch tubes. "In addition, imagery over the past six months indicates that North Korea has been upgrading facilities at the Sinpo South Shipyard in preparation for a significant naval construction program, possibly related to submarine development," 38 North stated in an article written by North Korea expert Joseph S. Bermudez Jr. "The presence of vertical launch tubes, if confirmed by additional evidence, would signal a significant advance in North Korean naval construction capabilities and could represent an embryonic step towards expanding Pyongyang's missile threat to South Korea, Japan and U.S. bases in East Asia," Bermudez wrote. "It would also complicate regional missile defense planning, deployment, and operations," he added. "North Korean missile-carrying submarines could be challenging to locate and track, would be mobile assets with the capability to attack from any direction, and would be able to operate at significant distances from the Korean peninsula." North Korea obtained from Russia SS-N-6 submarine-launched ballistic missiles several years ago. The missile was adapted to North Korea's Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile. North Korea also has six KN-08 road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles that were developed with launchers supplied by China. The submarine North Korea plans to deploy the KN-11 on is not known. North Korea obtained several decommissioned Soviet-era Golf II ballistic-missile submarines in the early 1990s. Pyongyang may seek to copy or adapt the design of the Golf II for an indigenous missile submarine.

 In another development, North Korea's state-run news media reported Feb. 7 that the country's military conducted a test firing of a precision-guided anti-ship cruise missile. In addition, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un recently toured several military units and urged troops to be fully prepared for combat. "Since November when the North began to stage winter drills, Kim has visited military units 10 times. While leading some aggressive exercises, he has encouraged the military to complete their readiness this year to fight," South Korean Defense Minister Han Min-koo told legislators in Seoul, according to the semi-official Yonhap news agency Feb. 7. Earlier this month South Korea announced the creation of an upgraded submarine command structure for its fleet of submarines. The command will operate South Korea's 13 submarines that previously were subordinated to a surface fleet. Some 20 U.S. Marines and 200 South Korean Marines conducted joint maritime infiltration exercises near the South's border islands with North Korea on Feb. 10.

"My wife and I watched the video and it is outstanding. Biblically solid...... we especially like the clear bible referencing and quoting. The video is a moving

tapestry tightly weaved with spectacular photography, bible references, and the signs of the times put together like a jigsaw puzzle. The gospel is presented

 "I received The End of Times DVD today. It is Superb! For those that don't know much, or anything about Bible Prophecy, this DVD should really open their eyes, a great teaching tool. For those that have grown cold or indifferent in the Lord,

this should awaken them." T. Nelson  

"The DVD provides an effective mix of biblical teaching and history, interspersed with the happenings in Israel today.  Particularly effective is the

emotional ending showing the return of Jewish people worldwide back to Israel and traveling with a sense of destiny.  Many commentators have said Israel is God's hour hand, Jerusalem is the minute hand, and the Temple Mount is the second hand on God's timepiece.  The video is a great introduction and myth-buster for those who do not know of the importance of Israel in God's eyes or

who believe Israel has as much significance in today's world as Madagascar or the Canary Islands." - John Wicklund, Chairman Olive Tree Ministries Board of

are going through, and more than that, to pray for Peace in Jerusalem, according to Psalm 122. Your DVD was a fitting tribute to this wonderful,

spectacular country and God's very own "baby". Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Very well done. - J. Masters - Mississippi

 It is really a professional production and I see why it is so well received. In fact

we felt it is actually the best film we have seen on end time events. - Bill & Brenda Hicks

  At first I thought it was going to be another routine message but as it

progressed it became more and more impressive. It was a great message. Congratulations on a very well presented and produced DVD. - R. Webb -

Another effective witness from Randy and Prophecy Update. The "There will be Tribulation" video describes the purpose and the sequence of events during the

final seven years prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The linkage to many Old Testament prophecies clearly show the importance of the nation of Israel to this seven-year period. The pictures in the video document a world

already full of tribulation- how terrible will be those seven years. Great teaching tool for small groups and youth ministers to present the gospel message

through the topic of bible prophecy. - John Wicklund Chair- Olive Tree Ministries Board of

 Nearing Midnight: Moral Relativism - Terry James - http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html   By now most everyone has weighed in on President Obama's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast that stirred the already boiling polemical pot. Obama attempted --in his own cutting, revisionist way--to behead Christianity while using the eviscerated corpse to rub sophistry-laden salve on the somewhat wounded religion of Islam, without ever really mentioning it by name. It was the most amazing dance around bringing up the name of that religion or its founder, Mohammed, I can recall, even for this president.  His defense of the religion, whose holy book commands that infidels be murdered (yes, especially by burning in some cases), came on the heels of the fiery execution of the Jordanian Air Force pilot who had

been held prisoner for months by ISIS. Finally, it seems, the Arab world has been incited to the point of turning on its fellow Islamists. Jordanian King Abdullah saw the handwriting on the wall. His people were and continue to be agitated to the point of riot. They raged through the streets with the same degree of passion against the beasts of ISIS that much of Islamist populations of the Middle East demonstrated when they turned out to celebrate the destruction of the World Trade Towers when they fell on September 11, 2001.  Obama said while standing before the National Prayer Breakfast gathering in Washington, DC, that claims to be under the banner of Christ: "Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."  Cast aside the fact that the man who was acclaimed as like no other in intelligence and ability to be elected president of the United States demonstrated with the statement that he possesses almost no understanding of history involving either the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition. The thing that staggers sensibility is his audacity that is an in-your-face embrace of Islam and its violence at the expense of Christianity's message of love. His insult to Christians everywhere has for the most part been unanswered, and is, to me, absolutely stunning.  There has been a degree of reaction to be sure, but nothing compared to what would be the reaction of Muslims if, say, the president of an Islamist state had spoken in that manner about the Mohammed-spawned religion. Turning the other cheek, maybe, applies here. But, it seems to me that it's time to show the man who would slap us in the face, or more like spit in our face, the proverbial door.  Mr. Obama didn't mind saying the name of Christ while pointing out that it was in that name the Crusaders went about murdering people--Muslims, he meant--as a movement to enslave while they went forth conquering with the cross before them. His tirade left out the truth that it was Mohammed's murderous armies that had raped and pillaged while establishing their caliphate on behalf of Allah, and that the Crusaders' intent was to liberate and destroy the beastly Muslim hordes. The president never used the name of Mohammed or the name of Islam in any of his castigating Christianity in the strongest terms--just short of calling Christ a devil rather than who He is.  I mean in no way to either defend the Crusaders, who often were as beastly as the Muslims they meant to vanquish. Neither do I mean to

absolve the Catholic Church of all wrong. But, the Catholic Church's part in the Spanish Inquisition was most often secondary to the secular, political horrors perpetrated. Fact is, Mr. Obama either didn't know the truth about all of that long past history, or -I suspect--purposely intended to use that history in a totally misleading way in order to defend Islam--which again, he never mentioned by name.  All of this gets me to the point I hope to make. Having been alive during the early 1960s and at university, as they say--in college, that is--I recognize the insidious philosophy in which professor Obama's mind has been simmering all of his years in academia. I remember all of the ideological mumbo-jumbo going on in those years--long before even our current president first stepped through the doors of higher education. Let me tell you; it is satanic tripe of the first order. I'm referring to the philosophical sludge churned up from times even before Voltaire and the so-called Age of Enlightenment.  By the time my classmates and I landed in the middle of the ultimate outcome time-frame of the Age of Reason, the prime directive was, in the view of academia, to question everything. It was the time of no moral absolutes; values clarification, moral relativism, and situational ethics. Truth did not come just from the Bible. As a matter of fact, the Bible was, according to Voltaire and his ilk, a book of restrictive, draconian dogma that should be avoided. One should determine for one's self what is truth. As the term situational ethics implies, one should determine what is right for any given situation, based upon what seems most ethical or expedient at that particular moment.  Let me tell you that young people, with hormones and everything else raging, take to heart that kind of satanically-engendered philosophy of life. "If it feels good, do it, was the very well-accepted apothegm during those years, and the philosophy is embraced even more heartily today.  It is easy for one who was fed that luciferic philosophy--that would be me--to understand how a product of the academic world, like Mr. Obama, can now look at Christianity and militant Islam and see both as equally responsible for atrocity. However, what makes me know that he knows better in the deepest regions of his philosophizing is the fact that he refuses to include the name of Islam's prophet or even the name of the religion in trying to say he condemns the evil that burned the Jordanian pilot to a cinder while he was alive.  The president, without any doubt in my mind, embraces the philosophy of moral relativism. His philosophizing, however, is as phony--as specious--as the Marxist dogma he obviously believes--that ends justify means. He apparently believes it is okay to proclaim while in pre-

election mode that he is a Christian, then having no voter to answer to as he enters his third year of his second term, he can equate Jesus Christ to being founder of a religion as vicious as the Islamist murderers he is determined to protect and defend.  The Bible upon which he placed his hand and took the oath to protect and defend not Allah, but the Constitution of the United States, has some very strong warning for those who come down on the side of moral relativism: "Woe unto them that call good evil, and evil good; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet

 

 It's All About The Lie - Belle Ringer - http://www.salvationandsurvival.com/2015/02/a-lie-is-lie-is-lie.html         Want to understand why the world is in such an awful state?  It's all about the lies.  According to author and political activist, David Horowitz, the radicals within our government institutions have followed Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals quite well.  Horowitz should know.  His parents were members of the American Communist Party, and he, himself, was an outspoken adherent of the "New Left" in the 1960's; working to agitate for class struggle, even to the point of becoming closely involved with the Black Panther Party.      So when he says the Alinskyites seek a "utopia" on earth where social justice and equality for all is to be achieved at all costs, he has the credentials to back up his opinion.  In fact, he is quoted in his writings as saying, "If the radicals' utopia were actually possible, it would be criminal not to deceive, lie, and murder to advance the radical cause which is, in effect, a redemption of mankind. If it were possible to provide every man, woman, and child on the planet with food, shelter and clothing as a right, if it were possible to end bigotry and human conflict, what sacrifice would not be worth it?"        And while we're talking about Saul Alinsky, just read the dedication he wrote for his notorious book:  "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off

and history begins - or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom - Lucifer."  How fitting.  The mentor to so many of our political leaders pays homage to the Father of Lies!       And we cannot consider the effect of lies on the state of the world without taking a look at Islamic Law:  Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) -  "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it.  When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible (N:i.e. when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory... it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression ... (One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie.)  The two forms of acceptable lying are Taqiyya - Saying something that isn't true, and Kitman - Lying by omission.      One cannot deny that the inherited freedoms of our nation have suffered due to the amoral principles of the radicals in politics.  And it is equally apparent that the ideology of radical jihadists is contributing to widespread terror across the world.  Now compare what the Lord Jehovah has to say on the subject:  There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.  Could there be any greater dissimilarities between these three belief systems?  In fact, the Bible says it is impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18).      Furthermore, God is the source of Truth, and His Son, Jesus, called Himself the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and He expects those who follow Him to be people of truth.  Just think of how much destruction has come upon the world since that first lie was told to Eve in the Garden.  Nothing good has ever come from a lie told in order to deceive for wicked purposes.  Our current reality finds us reaping the consequences of generations of lies from the one whose very nature is false; the one whose lies will be his undoing.  Call on the Lord who is Truth; whose Word will set you free, and whose righteous rule will endure forever.    John 8:44    "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your

father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

 

Daily Jot: A terrorist threat of "presidential" proportions - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com   ABC News reports that top US counterterrorism officials believe that the "president's" program to bring Syrian refugees into the US may include Islamic State terrorists who could establish cells here to attack Americans. At a Congressional Homeland Security Committee hearing last week, National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen said, "It's clearly a population of concern." Committee Chairman Mike McCaul, R-Texas, said it would be a "huge mistake" to bring refugees from the conflict to the US. The State Department's refugee head, Larry Bartlett, said, however, that the refugees must be allowed because "we care about others." Government choosing emotionalism over national security. Let us remember, however, that this problem has not developed overnight, although this "president" has ordered the breaking of immigration law and has purposely allowed porous borders inviting high risks of terrorist infiltration. In April 2006, under the George W. Bush Administration, there were massive protests against US immigration laws. The news media portrayed these protests as loosely organized, spontaneous demonstrations of support for illegal aliens organized by religious organizations, human rights groups and labor unions. Even public schools were giving students extra credit community service hours if students participated in the protests. A closer review indicated protest organizers were communists, socialists, and liberal church organizations.  American Values President Gary Bauer investigated a bit further and found "some of the most extreme anti-American groups in the country, including ANSWER - the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism coalition. ANSWER's steering committee includes the following organizations: the Free Palestine Alliance, the Muslim Student Association, the Party for Socialism and

Liberation, and the Mexican Solidarity Network, among others." That was April 10, 2006--nearly a decade ago.  Since then, there have been continuous reports of radicals crossing into the US and alerts that terror cell attacks are imminent. The "president," is bringing in Syrian refugees from the hotbed of the Islamic State to resettle in the US despite US officials admitting that their screening and vetting capabilities are far from foolproof. McCaul and leading Republicans sent a letter to Security Advisor Susan Rice saying that it is difficult to screen these people and that the government "cannot allow the refugee process to become a backdoor for jihadists." Letters are a nice way to say "I told you so" when something goes wrong. What we need is a Congress that demands and requires the "president" to enforce the laws. Jeremiah 51:14 says, "Surely I will fill thee with men, as with locusts; and they shall lift up a battle cry against you." The "president" probably heard this verse and thought it was a good thing for America, and there are a lot of churches who think it's a good thing, too.  

Daily Devotion: Run Lightly - Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org   All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. -1 Corinthians 10:23 I used to be one of those people who could eat whatever I wanted and never gain weight. When I was in my twenties, I would eat something called a macho combo burrito. It was the size of a sleeping bag, but I could eat it and never gain a pound. Now if I even think about a macho combo burrito, I'll put on weight. I just can't do what I once was able to do. Hebrews 12:1 tells us, "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us." What may be a weight to one person isn't necessarily a weight to others. Sometimes we'll see another Christian doing something, and we'll say, "Well, I'll go ahead and do that too." But what may not be a hindrance to another person can be a hindrance to you. 

Sin is sin. And sin is the same for everyone. But there are certain things that some may have the freedom to do that others don't have. So we have to look at those things and not simply ask whether they are permissible. We also need to ask whether they are edifying. It is not a matter of asking, "Is this allowed?" It's a matter of asking, "Is this going to build me up?" So ask yourself that question. The apostle Paul said, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify" (1 Corinthians 10:23). In other words, just because something is permissible for a Christian doesn't mean that you ought to do it. Maybe it could hurt you. Let's run as lightly as possible in the race of life.

FEATURED ARTICLE

 Featured Article: Greek "Hope," the Pope, the Feasts and the Beasts - By Cynthia Nuara - http://www.raptureready.com/soap2/nuara28.html   "We have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place..." (2 Peter 1:19).   What does Tisha B'Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, have to do with the new leader of Greece, who has just burst onto the world stage?  What does Yom Kippur, the most solemn of the seven appointed Feast Days of the Lord, have to do with the pope?  And what two things about the final blood moon of the tetrad on the Feast of Tabernacles (coming in September) make it different from the rest?   Of all the things I could have accidentally deleted that didn't get into my recent article (Alexis the Great, Hope of Europe and the World?), was a section going into more detail concerning Tsipras and his Syriza party's relationship with Israel, the most important nation in Bible prophecy.  However, there have been some interesting developments in that regard since then. "HOPE," YOU SAY?  NOT ON THAT DAY! From Jewish News Service, Jewish Leaders Express Mixed Feelings on New Greek Government:  "Jewish leaders have expressed both hope and concern over the outcome of the Greek election ...in which the radical left-wing Syriza party won... B'nai Brith International told JNS.org in a statement that the group is concerned by some past statements about Israel made by [Syriza] party leaders, but hopes that the relationship with Israel, which

had been building over the past decade in many fields, will be unaffected by the outcome...Yet Rabbi Andrew Baker, AJC's director of international Jewish affairs, told JNS.org that there are 'troubling signs' from the election.'" - JNS.org Alexis Tsipras, the new prime minister of Greece, was born on Tisha B'Av.  I might have picked up on this fact that one of my readers pointed out to me had I realized that this day doesn't always occur in August, but can fall in late July.  Many calamities have befallen the Jews on this day throughout history, but the reason Jews began acknowledging this as a day of mourning is because it was the day their first temple (Solomon's Temple) was destroyed.  Also on Tisha B'Av (656 years later), the second temple was destroyed.  For thousands of years this has been the day the Jews mourn for their lost temple.   Tsipras' birth on Tisha B'Av may not be a coincidence given how he and his radical, far-left Syriza party feels about Israel and the Jews.  No matter what their relationship turns into now that he's in power, should we trust it?   Also, because both temples were destroyed on this calamitous day in history, it makes one wonder if Tisha B'Av has significance concerning the third temple, when the Antichrist breaks his peace "covenant with many" and defiles the third temple halfway into the seven-year Tribulation.  The Jews will then recognize him for who he truly is. For more astonishing information on the many tragic event that have occurred on Tisha B'Av, read that section of my Rapture Ready article at:   www.raptureready.com/soap/nuara12.html   From The Guardian, Alexis Tsipras: The Syriza Leader About To Take Charge In Greece:   "As Greece descended into economic crisis, there were almost no signs that the young ideologue, an ardent admirer of...Che Guevara, the Argentinean Marxist revolutionary [and Castro's chief executioner], would emerge as the wild card to challenge Europe or Athens' own dynastic politics and vested interests.  For his critics, who are legion, he is a dangerous narcissist...Last week, the deputy premier and socialist leader, Evangelos Venizelos, likened him to Harry Potter for making promises that could only exist in the realm of fantasy" --- TheGuardian.com The world would indeed be amazed if Tsipras miraculously turned this fantasy into reality.

 News of late tells us that something does appear to be changing regarding the new leadership in Greece and its relationship with Israel.  But "Can a leopard take away its spots...?" (Jeremiah 13:23).  Interestingly, Greece is represented by a leopard in Daniel's vision.  The following is from RaptureReady.com, What are the four beasts of Daniel's visions? "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird.  The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it" (Daniel 7:6). The third beast is like a leopard with four wings and four heads, representing the Greek Empire, which was divided into four parts after the death of Alexander of Macedonia.  The Greek army was the most efficient army up to that time. Alexander the Great conquered all of Asia Minor (Turkey) in less than two years... He defeated Darius III... taking control of the Persian Empire. That is why it was symbolized as a leopard with wings." A CHANGE IN TACTICS Tsipras' Syriza Party supports the Palestinian cause and, during last summer's Gaza conflict, he accused Israel of being the "brutal aggressor."  The Jewish community in Greece has experienced rising anti-Semitic sentiment due to the country's economic crisis and the Gaza conflict.  However, the incoming Greek ambassador to Israel said that Greece could possibly mediate between Israel, Palestinians, and Iran.   From The Times of Israel, New Greek PM Is Pro-Palestinian, But Envoy to Israel Predicts Only Positive Things:  "...The new Greek government...might have some problems with some of [Israel's] policies.  But that will not change the overall target, which is the stability of the region...beneficial to both countries.  It is true that some voices in Syriza (acronym for Coalition of the Radical Left) are leaning toward the Palestinian narrative.  But there are several indications that Jerusalem has no need to worry.  For one, politicians act differently once they are in charge of running a country...much more responsible and careful in the policies they are about to advocate."  --- TimesofIsrael.com Well, it looks like Tsipras and his new government is indeed wasting no time in implementing a change in its relationship with Israel.  Greek defense minister, Kammenos, said that Greece, Cyprus, Israel and

possibly Egypt would begin joint exercises within the coming months aimed at improving regional security.   From The Times of Israel, Greece Plans Military Exercises with Israel,  Egypt:   "Kammenos criticized as a clear provocation Turkey's sending of a survey ship to the waters where (oil) drilling is taking place.  'We want peace,' Kammenos told reporters, 'but we are also ready to respond to any attempt against the national sovereignty or territorial integrity of the broader defense area of Greece and Cyprus, if necessary.'" AND THE POPE?  NO WAY!  AND ON WHAT DAY? Francis is coming to the US on September 23rd.  He will be the first leader of the Catholic Church in history to address both houses of Congress.  "It will be a historic visit, and we are truly grateful that His Holiness has accepted our invitation," House speaker John Boehner said in a statement.  President Obama said he is looking forward to welcoming him to the US. Do you know what day that happens to be?  It's The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the most solemn holy day of all the Jewish feasts and festivals.  On that day the Jews mourn and ask God for forgiveness of their sins.  In the Book of Leviticus, on this day the High Priest would perform sacred rites in order to make amends for the people's sins. Don't be deceived into receiving the wrong sign from the pope's visit on Yom Kippur.  Jesus is our High Priest, the only one who can forgive sins ((Hebrews 2:17; 3:1; 4:14-5:10; 6:20; 7:11-8:2; 10:12). It is only through Jesus that we can come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:14-16).   "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me'" (John 14:6). "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER  God put lights in the heavens "for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Genesis 1:14). Some discount or downplay any significance of the rare blood moon tetrads, but they're even more rare when they all fall on feast days. 

Historically there is evidence that such occurrences have taken place during a year where there are world-impacting events surrounding Israel. An article at WND.com, Blood Moons Expert: Watch 2014 and 2015, explains the significant events surrounding the blood moon tetrads in history, as they relate to Israel.  Here is the link:  http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/blood-moons-expert-watch-2014-and-2015/  The blood moon tetrad began last year on the Feast of Passover and will culminate on the final feast day of this year, The Feast of Tabernacles.  Given the events of last year and ones that appear to loom large for the near future, it could be said that they have and will show prophetic significance.  However, this shouldn't be confused with the sixth seal judgment (Revelation 6:12), since the rapture hasn't occurred, nor are we in the Tribulation yet.   It is said that, according to Jewish rabbis, total lunar eclipses are bad omens for Israel, since they go by the lunar calendar, and total solar eclipses are bad omens for the Gentile nations, who go by the solar calendar. Just before the pope's US visit, there will be a "partial" solar eclipse on The Feast of Trumpets (Sept. 13).  Following his speech on the day of Yom Kippur (Sept. 23), there will be a total lunar eclipse on The Feast of Tabernacles (Sept. 28).  The blood moon on this feast day is the last of the tetrad and will be the only one seen in Israel.  It just so happens that it will also be a Super Moon.  The Jews in Israel who observe this feast eat and sleep (the males do) in hastily-constructed dwellings (succahs), with roofs that don't completely obstruct their view of the sky. If you've never watched the late Grant Jeffrey's program on The Phenomenon of Biblical Anniversaries, you've really missed a fascinating study.  Or, perhaps you'd like to view it again.  Here is the link to part two, which discusses events that have occurred on the fall feast days.  http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/ec/d2OGQ2ODrW1lqAHHkFTI4MQ8KZ2tLXwF  Since I cannot find part one of the televised program, this link describes events that have occurred on all the feast days/special observances, as discussed by Grant Jeffrey, for those who would prefer to have this in writing:

  https://endtimebibleprophecyblog.wordpress.com/tag/grant-jeffrey/  ABOUT THE RAPTURE AND THE DAY OF THE LORD We shouldn't pin all our hopes on the rapture occurring during the Feast of Trumpets.  What we do know is that we are not destined for wrath and are to comfort one another with that knowledge (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:18; 5:11; Revelation 3:10).  We're to keep ourselves ready as we await our Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ, to come for us. We know about the New Testament rapture scriptures, but the rapture is even hinted at in the Book of Isaiah.  Some say it's talking about the middle of the Tribulation period, when the Jews go into hiding while God unleashes His wrath.  This cannot be the case, because this passage speaks of a resurrection:   "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.  Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.  For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain" (Isa. 26:19-21). The Day of the Lord" prophesied for the future refers to The Tribulation and not the rapture.   "Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy hill.  Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming.  It is close at hand" (Joel 2:1; see also Zephaniah 1:14, 16). PEOPLE, GET READY "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction" (2 Timothy 4:1-2). "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust,

not in strife and envy.  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts" (Romans 13: 11-14). All the signs given by Jesus and His prophets are converging---coming together at the same time.  Never before has this been the case.  As prophesied for the end days, the players are all lined up to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83, and they're lining up for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39.  Jews in Europe are fleeing to Israel due to rampant anti-Semitism.  False prophets are deceiving their flocks in an amazing number of churches.   A false unity of religions is coming together at a breathtaking pace and is headed down the road to Rome.  This is the end-time apostasy of which the Bible speaks, preparing the way for the False Prophet, who comes onto the scene like a lamb with an attractive manner and convincing words, deceiving many.  But he speaks like a dragon; his message is not from God (Revelation 13:11). We see that the Mother of Harlots  Mystery Babylon church is a one-world false religious system in this passage:  "Where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages" (Revelation 17:15).   "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities'" (Revelation 18:4-5). A LAMP SHINING IN A DARK PLACE I want to conclude with reasons why it's urgent that you study Bible prophecy and keep up with what is going on around you, even more now than ever.   We all have friends and family members who will refuse to accept Christ and will be left behind after the rapture.  The False Prophet (the second beast) will cause all to worship the Antichrist (the first beast) and to receive his mark.  If they take this mark, they will be lost for eternity. If you know end-times Bible prophecy, you will at least be able to warn them about what's coming.  When they see these things happening, hopefully they'll turn to Christ before it's too late. From Don Hooser at UCG Bible Study:  "Jesus and the apostles exhort us to actively 'watch'!   Peter warns us, 'Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour' (1

Peter:5:8).  Staying aware of the powerful behind-the-scenes role of Satan and his demons enables us to understand the atrocious evil and madness of this world.  It also enables us to resist them (James:4:7).   In light of the above, we see that in addition to concern we should have in personally drawing close to God and over what is happening in God's Church, we are clearly also to watch, listen and read to keep up with world news, events, conditions and trends."  Jesus' Warning to "Watch" - Just What Did He Mean?    http://www.ucg.org/bible-study/jesus-warning-watch-just-what-did-he-mean/  From Britt Gillette of RaptureReady.com:  "Bible prophecy is the most powerful witness to the divinity of Christ.  So don't listen to those who claim that Bible prophecy distracts us from the true Christian mission.  Quite the contrary, all Bible prophecy points to Jesus Christ Himself." "For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus" (Revelation 19:10, NLT).  Why Study Bible Prophecy?  http://www.raptureready.com/featured/gillette/study.html In the Book of Revelation, God gives a special blessing to those who read and heed the prophecy: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place.  And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:1-3). "We have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place..." (2 Peter 1:19).   Cynthia Nuara  www.facebook.com/propheciesinthebible  (articles at raptureready.com)
