It's Either God or Mammon
 

 It is written: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matthew 6:24-26)
"And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and they derided him. And he said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." (Luke 16:14,15)
"...Ye cannot serve God and mammon." (Matthew 6:24) "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10) Charge them that are rich in this world; that they be not high-minded; nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;" (1 Timothy 6:17) "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4) "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15)

Is God Using the Money Trail as a Means to an End?

George & Rita Williams - Cephas Ministry

 

To get the worldly side of the story, a good political author, who isn't afraid to tell it as it is, and who has written a number of books analyzing American politics, who is unwanted by the intellectual community, can probably paint an adequate picture of what is really going on. In an interview with a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, we read in relation to 9/11, excerpted to make a long story short:

"What it was really about -- and you won't get this anywhere at the moment -- is, that this is an imperial grab for energy resources. Until now, the Persian Gulf has been our main source for imported oil. We went there, to Afghanistan, not to get Osama and wreak our vengeance. We went to Afghanistan partly because the Taliban -- whom we had installed at the time of the Russian occupation -- were getting too flaky and because Unocal, the California corporation, had made a deal with the Taliban for a pipeline to get the Caspian-area oil, which is the richest oil reserve on Earth. They wanted to get that oil by pipeline through Afghanistan to Pakistan to Karachi and from there to ship it off to China, which would be enormously profitable. Whichever big company could cash in would make a fortune. And you'll see that all these companies go back to Bush or Cheney or to Rumsfeld or someone else on the Gas and Oil Junta, which, along with the Pentagon, governs the United States.

We had planned to occupy Afghanistan in October, and Osama, or whoever it was who hit us in September, launched a pre-emptory strike. They knew we were coming. And this was a warning to throw us off guard.

With that background, it now becomes explicable why the first thing Bush did after we were hit was to get Senator Daschle and beg him not to hold an investigation of the sort any normal country would have done. When Pearl Harbor was struck, within 20 minutes the Senate and the House had a joint committee ready. Roosevelt beat them to it, because he knew why we had been hit, so he set up his own committee. But none of this was to come out, and it hasn't come out.

The reporter asked: "Still, even if one reads the chart of military interventions in your book and concludes that, indeed, the U.S. government is a "source of evil" -- to lift a phrase -- can't you conceive that there might be other forces of evil as well? Can't you imagine forces of religious obscurantism, for example, that act independently of us and might do bad things to us, just because they are also evil?

Author: "Oh yes. But you picked the wrong group. You picked one of the richest families in the world -- the bin Ladens. They are extremely close to the royal family of Saudi Arabia, which has conned us into acting as their bodyguard against their own people -- who are even more fundamentalist than they are. So we are dealing with a powerful entity if it is Osama.

The real story is hard to piece together. The media is extremely busy reminding us from moment to moment that we are under siege by Islam and that we are basically doomed, at least that is how it is affecting me. When you really think it through, protection is an impossibility. These attacks come out of the blue and can hit anywhere. They can come in an envelope, in a cup of coffee in a restaurant or stop deliveries of our most basic needs. How can they tell us that its stoppable? Its no different than living with being murdered any time in the street or in your own bedroom. We live with that day in and day out. So we have added a few more possibilities, so be it. Life has always been fragile. We don't think twice about stepping on a bug who has a right to life, why should it be any different for us.

The Islamic invasion has been going on since approximately 600 A.D. when they came into existence. They are driving globalization. What the leaders of "Christian" countries have done is open their doors to try to integrate Muslims and westernize them or Europeanize them but it hasn't worked. They are a cult just like Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Have you ever tried to get someone out of a cult? It's practically impossible. I'll never forget Ed Decker's comment: "You can hit them over the head with 2x4 and it wouldn't do any good." Cultist take pride in who they are because they practice what they preach and the rest of the world are hypocrites. Their goal is to change the rest of the world into their thinking. Muslims believe they live a dignified life and want to keep it that way. They don't want to be like the world. Cults use force of various kinds to make converts. They do not want the convert because they know they will never truly convert but they do want their children. They can be indoctrinated.

Toni Blair talked about the Muslim children in an interview with the BBC and he said that they can't have their own Faith School (alternative schools of their choosing) because he realizes that Muslims teaching Muslims would not change Muslims. In the U.S. we allow charter schools and Muslims are most likely doing their own schools which defeats the purpose. Education is the only way to change people and a lot has been done in that area. That is why they have been allowing students come from the Middle East to study here. Mormons do not school their own children but they do counteract the public school system. They teach their children a couple of hours before they go to school every day. They go 5 a.m. to church for a class before they go to school on a day to day basis in the teen years. It works, it keep them in the fold. They are prepared for missions from 3 years on up and serve for two years without pay when they get out of high school. Catholics raise their children in Catholic schools for the same reason.

We have never solved the black and white problem and now we have an additional problem which is even more difficult. The priorities of the administration are votes, power and riches for the wealthy. The world is run by its own built-in rules that are invisible and unwritten but they are in effect based on cause and effect. 9/11 was backlash of what the U.S. is doing in the Middle East.

The Ambassador of the League of Arab states to the U.N. was interviewed on C-Span. a couple of days ago and he was very tense and visibly worried about President Bush's decision to attack Iraq. He said that the Palestinians have 80% unemployment and are having health problems, that Sharon is strangling them to death by not allowing them to work. A caller said: "why not take religion out of the equation it is holding everything back." His answer surprised me: he said, "All religions speak love and peace." Here is what he said if we go to war with Iraq and I agree with it. In my words: going to war without permission from the United Nations would cause chaos because the United Nations will not be respected as before by countries as the peace keeper that countries trust, since they all interact. and vote. The U.S. is a member of the United Nations and has a commitment to the nations as a member. He said the United Nations would collapse. Without that focus the war would go out of control and turn into complete chaos.

Another caller brought up the oil scenario and the Amassado'r body language showed that he is aware of that area. His answer was that the Middle East sits on 65% of the world's oil Iraq is on 10% of it. I read in my travel through all these newsletters that President Bush wishes to put a leader into Iraq who take orders from Washington much like Pakistan. Looking at Cuba where they tried it, it didn't work. It backlashed. Obviously attacking Iraq is going to have world wide consequences. All leaders have expressed fear of going to war. They know once that line is crossed there is no stopping it. Hatred is already spewing from all directions even internally. Most Americans do not want to go to war. They know it is not going to solve the problems for the people in the U.S.

A Representative Republican from Colorado spoke today and he addressed the horrendous problem on the Mexican border and he seemed stunned why the administration wants to go the Middle East when Middle Eastern renegades are coming into the United States at a rate of 1500 a day. He said they sell drugs. They move into the Colorado mountains where they have taken over the Indian Reservations with drugs, raping, and looting. They can't do anything about it because they have to work with Federal Immigration people when it comes to illegals and they do not gear into it. He said he was hoping our new Homeland Security would do something but he was told by Tom Ridge personally that it would politically and culturally impossible.

Like the color alarm system, after reading Tom Ridge's plan of smart borders the light went on. They are bound to the NAFTA Treaty and borders are a thing of. the past.

The focus is not on American citizens but on Globalism at this point and we have to become smart citizens and think outside of the box and connect the dots to name a few slogans that are doing the changing.? When I listened to the Representative from Colorado, all I could think of was,. he is not up on his reading and missing the point with his speech. Nobody is listening.

Back to the story I wanted to gear into and that is the future and what all this is leading up to. What we have in the Middle East is a pot of gold that turns into a hornet's nest when anyone tries to get the oil. God has placed this gold producing oil into the Middle East because he knows the heart of man and that he can control men with the gold. Satan who has temporary control over this planet has put Muslims in charge of the Middle East and the oil to create the final Holy War which is necessary to fulfill Bible Prophecy. God knows that those riches are desirable enough to some men that they will throw everything into the pot to get it. President Bush keeps telling us that he has all the tools he needs to get the job done only his subjects have lost confidence in their leader. President Bush has so much confidence in himself and his immediate team, Cheney and Rumsfeld, that they have the power to exterminate this hornet's nest singlehandedly. Tony Blair, a Catholic, who likes excitement, is very busy trying to join this dream team but so far he has not found a way to convince his constituents why he should join the fight. Other than that there are practically no takers.

A Representative in the White House recently made an interesting comment that I will never forget. He was trying to get some people to come into his camp to get a bill through Congress and he said watch this: he watches nature to learn from and he watched a bird set himself on a wire and wouldn't you know it, it wasn't long before a few others joined him and it wasn't long before a lot of them joined him. It is possible that is the strategy the President is using but so far it hasn't worked. They have already all acknowledged that the U.S. has been designated the Super Power of the world and they know that there won't be anything in it for them.

The U.S. has not only lost a whole lot of people by the terrorist attack but it has also been deeply hurt by foreign investors who have pulled their money out of corporations, collapsing thousands of jobs, leaving jobless with little incentive to fight someone elses war. They have a battle of their own to keep food on the table. The taxes will not be rolling in as expected and the treasurer is already dipping into Social Security to the tune of $35 billion [by the way that is the budget of Homeland Security] and running a deficit pushing $200 billion. Even if the elite, who is out of touch with the true state of affairs of the population, thinks we are too ignorant to count, they would be surprised how well we learned how to count just trying to survive in this society. The only way we can afford war is to do what President Reagan did, run up the deficits once again into double digit trillions to get this pot of gold.

The author stated that the United States has been involved in some 250 wars since 1947 and that is why the world feels nothing but hate toward us. This war machine is what people are breaking their back paying taxes for. We are one of the lowest contributors in humanitarian aid. Most of our aid goes to Israel and a little to Arafat and Egypt.

The military has been weaned little by little into fighting World War III which is the price for ruling the world. Like Adolf Hitler who thought he could take the world by instilling fear into his society and his neighbors of being oppressed by occupation which is what the New World Order represents. The U.S. occupied Germany for 40 years to democratize it and they are still there. As President Bush has stated, we will be in a perpetual war from now on.

American citizens have been led to believe that we are the great benefactor and a nation under God and people are having trouble putting things together. What they are hearing doesn't fit what they believe about themselves and some are still in denial, but many have come to and what the final result will be remains to be seen.

As I am writing this Lou Dobbs on CnnFn showed the Arab League gathering around Saddam and spoke of all the Allies that have rallied around Saddam [people tend to lean to underdog rather than bullies], even China and Russia. They warn that the U.S. would open the "gates of hell" if they go through with their madness of attacking Iraq.

 

WHAT'S GOING ON FROM A BIBLICAL POINT OF VIEW?



What we are seeing in the world today is Muslims (some call them the new Commies) and other aetheists 'Communists' pulling together against the one supporter of Israel and Israel. In other words: Gentiles are coming against God's chosen and called people 'Israel.' Since the U.S. is a mixture of all countries, if war breaks out, much of it will be fought in the U.S. and our soldiers will be in other countries. That vulnerability is what most people fear. Now you see why the government is installing a new agency named Homeland Security.

The conflict is in the Bible and has been expected since the Apostle Paul taught. Jesus Himself said that His followers would be persecuted. Isaac was an ancestor of Jesus. Isaac was the natural son of Abraham. Ishmael was the son of Abraham through Hagar, Sarah's handmaiden. Ishmael was a bastard because his mother and father were not married. The promise God gave to Abraham went through Isaac, Jacob. from Jacob to his twelve sons. That promise included a land promise that you can find in Genesis 15 and 16. The land promise given to the physical descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob has never changed. So the Jewish people have a right to that land. They also have the right to be governed by Israeli leaders. Israel is divided into secular Israelis and Rabbis who practice the Torah to this day. Secular Jews are running the country and that is why they are ready to divide Israel believing that it will bring peace. The government in Israel as we know it today was started by Jews who where controlled by Jesuits. Perez is Polish and Sharon is Russian.

Shimon Perez, for example, signed the old city of Jerusalem over to the Pope in 1993 according to an Italian newspaper. We wrote about it at the time. President Clinton wanted Perez to get into the lead which didn't happen. This was treason to the Jewish people. The document is easily provable by Barry Chamish or George Baterman who wrote, "Crimes of the President". This is one of the indications that the Sharon government, Perez, Chan Wizeman , Ben Gurian were and still are working for the papacy as is the PLO leadership. Yassar Arafat is an Islamic Freemason. Saddam Hussein, Saul's dynasty is Masonic, and the Bin Laden dynasty is Masonic. Bin Laden’s mother is Jewish. People who live in Israel knew his mother. Barry Chamish and Joel Baterman can both prove it. If bin Laden is still alive it is because he is a creature of the CIA.

The whole fiasco was set up in 1932 and prior to that in the early 1900’s by the British Empire and is controlled by Masons, Jesuits. They set up the Middle East schematic including Iraq and Iran. However they wanted to do it, what is important to know is that THEY CONTROL BOTH SIDES.

Here is how some people see the scenario develop. The Palestinian people, although it is believed that they do not have a right to that land, could easily be assimilated into Jordan and Syria which would end this agitation. There are only a million Palestinians. They want this agitation to continue. They want the Israelis to give up the West Bank so there can be fighting near Jerusalem. This fight will involve American troops there when the time is right and the Dome of the Rock can be destroyed. Even though Americans will have nothing to do with it, they will be blamed which will produce a Jihad in America, a financial Muslim invasion.

The Islamic leaders in the Middle East don’t want the Palestinians moving into their countries.
They will not allow them in. The Palestinians are Arabs, their brothers are in Jordan. Jordan is just a stones throw away from the cities that they occupy. They would have to stop calling themselves Palestinians. They want all of the inheritance of the Abrahamic Covenant.

Going back to the Bible, the Jewish people have the right to the land. At some point there will be a confrontation that will result in US troops stationed near Jerusalem. Because the Dome of the Rock has to be destroyed but the blame cannot be on the Jews. They could not stand an Arab attack. It has to be destroyed by the old enemy of the Jesuit general, the Protestant, and liberal, heretic people of the United States. This is how the Pope feels about the United States. Although the pedophelia problem is world-wide, the Pope labels it an American problem and doesn't wish to associate himself with it.

Although Zionism is described in the Encyclopedia as Jews, they were historically the driving force to reestablish Israel, they do not have to be Jews. The Jesuits are the greatest Zionists in the world. The high Jesuits of the 'fourth vow' are the authors and promoters of Zionism. They are financing Zionism through their Federal Reserve Bank.

With Simon Perez secretly giving over the old city of Jerusalem to the papacy, the Jewish people are waking up to the fact that the Zionist government is not good for them. The Jewish people don't have any say in their government just like we don't have any say in ours.

Jerusalem has to endure, Israel has to endure. It will not be destroyed until the Messiah returns. The destruction of the Dome of the Rock is imminent through some sort of military action.

The Jesuit general will use American forces to create a war between the peoples that are his greatest enemies, the Islamic peoples and the heretic, Protestant and liberal American people of the western culture. Jesuit's dream is to get Islam into war with Protestants and liberal Americans to benefit his Zionist government in Israel to rebuild the Third Temple for Antichrist.

There is some talk the Bin Laden construction company has been mining underneath the Dome
and could have placed explosives which could be controlled by remote control. The Bin Laden family are “the” construction company for Islamic places such as Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.

Some believe that Osama may be the Anti-Christ but he doesn't fit the description. The Anti-Christ forsakes God of his father. Come to think of it he has left his father's better judgment who is most likely a moderate and Osama may have left his belief completely but still use the religion to get Muslims to do his bidding. He does hold the ticket to peace if he is still alive. Many think of him as a master mind to hit this powerful country the way he did, if he was behind it.

This email came from ben Yosef, the Torah Voice website, March 22, 2001 At the Western Wall today and in yeshivas and synagogues and religious schools throughout Israel the sound of shofar blasts, the singing of Hebrew Psalms and cries and tears and wails of repentance were heard in response to a declaration by the Gedolei Yisrael (Great Ones of Israel) formally recognizing the beginning of the "time of Jacob's trouble."

Thursday, March 22, 2001 (the 27th of Adar, 5761), was earlier designated the time to celebrate Rosh Chodesh Nisan, (the first day of Nisan), since the first day of Nisan actually falls on Sunday. Ordinarily Rosh Chodesh Nisan is designated a Yom Kippur Katan (a small Yom Kippur).
So over the past 24 hours the Jewish community here in Israel and throughout the world has united in prayer. What is unusual about this year's Yom Kippur Katan is that in light of the 6-month-old Palestinian uprising which has claimed the lives of 57 Israelis, including more than 20 through the direct involvement and participation of Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority, the rabbis have added the designation as "a time of Jacob's trouble."

Further it is signed by ALL 27 of the leading Orthodox and Chassidic sages, both the "maranan verabonon" (masters and teachers) and the "gedolei ha-Torah vehaChassidus (Torah sages among the Chassidut)."

The declaration begins and is formally designated:

"IT IS A TROUBLED TIME FOR YA'ACOV BUT HE WILL BE SAVED." The declaration continues in full:

"Israel, the holy nation, is experiencing a time of suffering. Wicked people are launching attacks against our people, and are intent on causing trouble for the Jews in the Holy Land." "May Hashem safeguard the Jewish nation in Eretz Hakodesh (the holy land) from the wicked machinations of our enemies. May He protect us from the oppressive calamities which crush body and soul. May He grant succor to those who suffer from severe and bitter illnesses. May he save us from the terrible plague in the form of traffic accidents. May He ease the pain of the hearts which grieve over the spiritual degeneration in our times, and over the decline in the belief in our sacred Torah.

"Our only power is in exercising of the age-old tool of our fathers, which is to cry out and to cause an uproar, as the Rambam says at the beginning of Hilchos Taanis: "It is a positive command of the Torah to cry out and to sound the shofar over every calamity which strikes the community, as it is written, "At hatsar hastsoreir eschem veharei'osem bechatzotzeros (against the adversary that oppresses you, you should blow an alarm with the trumpets -- Numbers 10:9) - the word tsar alluding to everything which oppresses (metsar) you.

"Therefore we entreat Jews everywhere -- men, women and children -- to assemble at worldwide prayer rallies and to plead with the A-mighty, Who is most compassionate and kind, for deliverance. On Thursday, 27 Adar, ever rosh chodesh Nisan, in the shmittah year, we will gather with one heart, to issue pleas and fervent cries to the Master of all, and to recite the prayers of Yom Kippur Katan, selichos and Tehillim.

"Hashem will not reject the prayers of the many, and will accept our prayers and hearken to our outcries with compassion and grace. He will issue a spirit of purity from Above, in order to return us to Ovinu shebaShomayim. Fathers will return to their sons and sons to their fathers. Hashem will heed us, and we will not be lost. We will merit the coming of Moshiach tzidkeinu speedily, out of great mercy and kindness."

While precious minutes of 27 Adar remain, I encourage every JOE on this list who wishes to unite his heart in prayer with Judah to MINIMALLY pray the MINCHAH prayers (on my website www.torahvoice.org/minchah.htm ) or the prayers for the State of Israel www.torahvoice.org/prayers.htm and if you have a shofar to sound it before sunset tonight. (The alarm of Yom Kippur is "one continuous blast" but I heard a variety of blasts today.)

The special prayers for 27 Adar actually began last night in a celebration of Thanksgiving to Hashem for what was being termed throughout Jerusalem today as a "very great NES (miracle)." A car packed full of explosives was parked in the heart of Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood on Rehov Mea Shearim in Kikar Shabbat (Shabbat Square). An off-duty parking warden noticed the car parked illegally in a taxi-only zone, looked inside and thought he saw suspicious wires coming out of a cell phone. He recruited local passersby to clear pedestrians and bloc traffic until police arrived and confirmed it was a car-bomb.

Helicopters flew overhead as a mass evacuation took place of the neighborhood surrounding the car and Israeli bomb squads (Sappers) to partially disarm the device and to conduct two controlled detonations. Buses and cars were backed up for miles in all directions but the inconvenience of walking two miles and more from Mea Shearim to the nearest bus stop that was still accessible was mitigated by the spontaneous praises and thanksgivings ... and added to the crowds on hand in the shuls for Yom Kippur Katan.

The air in and around Jerusalem today was noticeably lighter and spirits were noticeably uplifted as this REVIVAL INITIATED BY THE MODERN TORAH SAGES got underway. ben Yosef

In an email from ben Yosef, he writes the following: "A few of you have inquired as to whether the declaration of a "time of Jacob's trouble" Yesterday with a Yom Kippur Katan (little Yom Kippur) was the first time this has been done by the rabbonim.

I did not know the answer so I spoke this morning with Rav Schneider about this. He said the kabbalists characteristically think of the eve of EVERY new month as a "Yom Kippur Katan," but this is not the ordinary practice of the Orthodox or the rest of the Hassidim, including the Breslovers.

He added that Yom Kippur Katan is more often associated with Erev Chodesh Nisan due primarily to the growing influence of the tzaddikim among the Hassidim and Orthodox and the desire to prepare for the Passover two weeks later through a "little" day of atonement.

But he said the phrase "time of Jacob's trouble" is a special declaration. He recalls the catch phrase being thrown around (at least informally) during the Gulf War when the Scud attacks were ongoing and even a good percentage of secular Jews were seeking some consolance in the shuls on Shabbat. But while it may be simply a "catch phrase," when the world seems to be getting out of hand from the perspective of the rabbonim, he agreed with me that Hashem can use it to ignite something at the grass roots, which appears to be what is happening.

It is too early to say just how far this "revival" will go and whether it will spread at all. But whatever else can be said of yesterday, it is clear that hearts cried out to Hashem in a way that had to be pleasing to Him.

At the same time, Rav Schneider places the responsibility for the current problems solely on the heads of rabbonim who had the opportunity to resist and speak out against Oslo and did not, against Palestinian autonomy in Judea-Samaria-Gaza and did not. The rabbonim were united in their support for retaining the Golan and supported the rally for a reunited Jerusalem and in those two areas, Israel remains strong and committed and inflexible. The same could be true with Judea-Samaria and the Jewish settlement towns today had the rabbonim so chosen.

I know that I personally approached several rabbis to support the "right-wing opposition" and the Jewish settlers back in 1992-93 when the movement was looking to THEM for spiritual leadership and was sorely disappointed at their response, so I share Rav Schneider's sentiment about this FAILURE on their part, which branded those of us who were arrested or imprisoned or deported for our "fragmented" oppositon. On the other hand, perhaps the spiritual leadership of Judah had to wash its hands of Samaria before Hashem could awaken JOES to their rights and responsibilities in this same area!)

It is promising that the rabbonim are NOW FINALLY uniting but there is much spiritual ground to be reclaimed. Again, JOES, I believe that without the spiritual and perhaps even the human resources of the House of Joseph, what can NOW be done by the House of Judah in this regard is limited. It is my hope that as part of this crying out to Hashem for an answer, that more of Judah will come to this realization as well.

And that is another MAJOR reason why the authority of the rabbonim should be respected and obeyed. In fact, I will go so far as to say that Hashem could be bringing about this very change of heart NOW, BECAUSE -- NOW -- there are Joes who do respect rabbinic authority and ARE waiting on their leaders.

So, the bottom line to me is the "time of Jacob's trouble" is not a time of just "JUDAH's" trouble. It is a time when JOES must share in the responsibility as part of JACOB. I can't say it often enough. Two-thirds of those unannexed territories are the inheritance of the tribes of Joseph.

Since I am NOT an eschatologist I can't tell you what else could be implied by the words of Daniel and in the New Testament as it relates to the "time of Jacob's trouble." To me it simply represents an OPPORTUNITY for greater solidarity with my Jewish brothers and the recognition by the spiritual leaders of Judah that they need Hashem's help and greater spiritual resources. But Rav Schneider has some mystical ideas that tie it to the removal of the "wicked" Saddam and the coming of Moshiah, which we have discussed earlier and I will try to pin him down on later.

Shalom Shalom & Shabbat Shalom & Hashem's love & blessings, Ben Yosef from the Torah Voice website ["Joes"=sons of Joseph http://www.torahvoice.org/]

The Red Heifer born in Israel runs right along with this scenario and so does the "weeping Wailing Wall" that Israeli's have witnessed lately.

(IsraelNN.com) In these days of difficulty for the Land of Israel, there is encouraging news as well... It can now be revealed that less than one month ago, a red heifer was born in Israel. After the heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute, on Friday, April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is a prerequisite for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.

Tradition records that a red heifer in our generation is a herald of the Messianic era. It is certainly an important development towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel’s redemption can be compared to the dawn. "In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter." Pictures of the heifer may be viewed at the Temple Institute .

Speaking of the Red Heifer, Jamma at Rapture Watch, wrote a message about the futility of the Red Heifer. "Looking back to the time of Moses in the Old Testament Book of Numbers Chapter 8:5, 7&9 & 19:1-9, it's recorded how the Temple priests had to be purified with a specially prepared water. The water was made ready by sprinkling the ashes of a flawless Red Heifer into it.

These ashes could not come from just any heifer. The heifer had to be without blemish and the requirement for accepting it as truly being such, was extremely stringent. [Ednote, we wrote about it in prior newsletters. God put it in rancher's heart in the United States to begin breeding red heifers and every time he got one it had blemishes. He finally decided to impregnate a heifer and ship the animal to Israel and it worked. They apparently have a perfect red heifer at this point end of note]

The preparation for building the third temple have been going on since it was reported on October 16, 1989 in "Time" magazine, writes Jamma. Now in 2002 there are reports that everything required to rebuild the Temple and restore the ritual animal sacrifices is in place. The one element still needed is the ashes of the Red Heifer.

In modern times, rabbinical law forbids Jews from setting foot on the Temple Mount, thus violating the site where the Holy of Holies dwelled, until and unless they are ritually purified. Without a perfect red heifer to sacrifice, the Third Temple cannot be built, and the Messiah will not come." [Ednote: This proves that Sharon violated this rabbinical law when he walked on the Temple Mount which brought on Islam's terrorism. Sharon is not in the rabbinical camp].

Bible prophecy indicates that it will be the man known as the Anti-Christ who will contribute to the restoration of this Temple and its sacrifices. According to Daniel 11:36-39, Daniel 9:27 & 2 Thess. 2:3-4, midway through a 7 year covenant this prince who is to come will reveal his devilish nature and will turn on the Jews. He will at that time stop the sacrificial offerings and will then claim himself to be the only true God. (Rapture Watch, Vol.6, pp 8,9)

A wider war [prophesied in the Scriptures] now contemplated by the Bush administration will include Iran and Syria which has already been mentioned numerous times. Some suggest the only way to do it is to overwhelm the Middle East with a large number of troops, more like 500,000 to a million. The Pope, who is pushing globalism, is going to pursue his goals over there. The other sites are the destruction of Mecca and Medina. If Mecca and Medina are destroyed millions of Muslims will rise up. The CIA has already brought in hundreds of Islamic terrorists as part of the black pope’s Islamic terrorist community with their biological agents, which are ready to do their damage. We stated in one of the newsletters that Phil Donahue confronted Ollie North with the fact that the U.S. shipped Anthrax to Saddam Hussein to attack Iran with it and Ollie changed the subject and said let's not look at the past, let's look at the future. He did not deny it.

Homeland Security is obviously installed to control Americans when they begin to realize the truth. Investigations of any kind are frowned upon. A couple of reporters tried to expose the airport INsecurity screening again and they are now threatened with possible jail sentences for bringing weapons into the airports. Tom Ridge is a Jesuit and so are many in Washington D.C.

We are bombarded with psychological terrorism to condition us for the future when things will get worse. Have you noticed it comes in waves like labor pain. We can't handle a steady diet of it.

There has to be justification for the office of Homeland Security under Jesuit Tom Ridge. The President wants total control over 170,000 employees by taking them out from under their usual employment security blanket like the union and tenure. Work hours are increased to a point where many are already capitulating out of the airport security positions. Their pay is not increased to make matters worse. They are talking about privatizing this agency. Privatized government entities are not run by private citizens but by a government appointed board that has to comply to government regulations. The employees lose their status, pay scale and benefits as a result of privatizing. All else stays the same. Employees can be hired off the street without having to qualify which means they can hire friends and relatives at less than half of what government employees make and no benefits to speak of. I went through this process and found that the employees lost and so did the people the privatized government agency served.

Former President Bush, Sr. and his wife Barbara was interviewed last night and President Bush seemed dumbfounded about the changes himself. He said that there did not need to be a new agency. He trusts the CIA and FBI completely. They are fine people.

The Cutting Edge Ministry writes: "President Bush continues to worry all Conservatives who fear he is fighting the terror threat against our liberties and way of life by taking away our liberties and our government received yet another heavy dose of reality last week. Bush took several worrisome steps:
a. Bush and Ridge argued that the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act should be repealed so our military may be given law enforcement responsibilities. Congress passed Posse Comitatus to guarantee that American citizens need never have to worry about facing overwhelming military force from our own military. Clinton proved at Waco, however, that a President may ignore Posse Comitatus at his will.

Congress strongly passed the new Homeland Security Department, creating the largest single expansion of government in our history. Much potential for abuse resides within this agency; most worrisome is that, when Congress was considering this agency, Tom Ridge declined to even testify to answer questions. While many people are justifying this huge expansion of a Federal Police type agency, we can only remember the Plan: "As far back as 1917, secret societies decided to create a global threat that would allow the creation of a global government known as the New World Order." You be the judge.

Congress passed a "Fast Track" legislation that would give President Bush great authority in negotiating global trade agreements that will have the net effect of creating the global economy so necessary to the coming government of Antichrist.

When Bush allowed Clinton Environmental Extremists to stay in office in the various regulatory agencies, we Conservatives were very worried. And, these concerns are proving to be justified. Last week, the Endangered Species Branch of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Sacramento field office ordered that special protections be immediately implemented for the spotty Tiger Salamanders. Opponents fear these regulations, once written into code, could peril private property rights; we agree, knowing that Private Property is designed to be eliminated once this new global system is in place.

President Bush forged ahead with his new citizen spy network, called TIPS. This program is patterned after the Communist system of citizen spying, but Bush intends to employ more citizen spies than even the East German Secret Police as a percentage of total population! We have written an excellent analysis at

There are four lawsuits going against terrorists at this point. 1000 families joined a French lawyer and his team. He wrote a book we advertise, "The Forbidden Truth" listed on the last page of globalism books at http://a2zbookdepot.adelink.net . This lawsuit is against Osama bin Laden's family for a trillion dollars. The book exposes what was going on. Another 1400 victims are involved in another lawsuit against Saddam Hussein of Iraq who is accused of having knowledge of and encouraging 9/11. They are also suing for a trillion dollars. The lawyers of the latter suit suddenly conveniently came forward when President Bush needed to make his case against Saddam Hussein. The lawyers claim that they have proof that Saddam Hussein was involved with the 9/11 terrorist attack. There have not been any indications that Iraq and Arabia teamed up in this effort which would have had to happen to make the case for those lawsuits.

Putting together the Anthrax that was mailed and the fact that the U.S. is buying oil from Iraq, where is the beef? I noticed something interesting when Ashley Banfield took us to Bagdad in Iraq, she filmed a mosaic in the foyer of a hotel on the floor a huge bust of President Bush, Sr. and people walking on it day in and day out.

In any event the groundwork for the war against the Middle East is on its way to fulfill the Biblical Prophecy. President Bush said that he had to prove himself as a world leader which Biblically puts him into the Anti-Christ category. He is shunned by the whole world because of his nuclear threats. We have been told repeatedly by the media that the administration would use these weapons.

I was shocked when President Bush, who probably has the most powerful influence on young minds when he visits schools, tells young children that Islam is a wonderful religion. Children trust their president and could eventually join Islam because he said it was a great religion. What put me into Mormonism was a small article I read in a magazine that Mormons were the original pilgrims that pioneered the whole West and were an enviable church in high esteem of Americans. The Justice Department is headed by a Mormon. I found out since that they were the forerunners of Feminism. Emma Smith, Joseph's wife and friends took a stand against the Masonic Men and created their own Relief Society, independently of the men. That was really the beginning of "Women's Rights" in the United States that nobody ever mentions.

 

WHY MOST RELIGIONS ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH ROME

 

High-level Freemasons, as Dr. Billy Graham has now proven publicly by being knighted by the Queen of England, also works for the Jesuit Order. The highest degree in Freemasonry is 33 degrees, they are Shriners which Islam identifies with. Dr. Graham is portrayed in pictures during his visits with the Pope and calls him the greatest moral leader in the world just as President Bush did recently. Graham was the leader in bringing down the walls between denominations with the crusades in stadiums. Protestants united with Catholics for the "common good", a favorite expression of Pope John Paul II. If someone had told you 30 years ago that Lutherans would be apologizing to the Pope for Martin Luther's protests, you would have thought they were lunatics.

Unbelievable strides have been made to that effect and the results were public right after 9/11 that even Muslims are included in this unity movement. In 1962 with Vatican II, the march for unity began to take shape and it has permeated every religious organization world-wide. The problem is that it is just superficial. The underlying factor is political. Tolerance is supposed to bring peace. In reality we are heading straight into war. Suddenly the church found itself in the middle of politics and is now partially responsible for taking up arms against the Middle East possibly endangering Israel which Christians cherish. They forgot that Jesus put the ear back on the attacker, and said we do not harm the enemy but turn the other cheek. Forgive seventy times seventy and then some. They forgot their first love and replaced God, the Father [SPIRIT] and the Holy SPIRIT with the "American spirit"

There are no two people who love this country more than George and Rita whose ancestor's fled European dictators and want it to go back to the way it used to be in the fifties and sixties. We struggled to make ends meet and we went to church and college to become good, honest, caring citizens because we honored the Constitution and what it stood for. It allowed us to be Biblical Christians. God demands us to do our best for our leaders and neighbors. It works if it is abided by but our leaders have betrayed us just like Israelis have been betrayed. It's over and too late to go back. Globalism is in full swing. The Bible will now have to leave. It is written. . The World Trade Organization has taken control over our Constitution and the world will be competing for every morsel of wheat basically without legitimate laws to protect even our physical existences, let alone our jobs. We are being deregulated, so that can happen and are at the mercy of the rich and famous.

Christians let their guard down because political crusaders used the Gospel to tell them, "you can trust us, it's okay to forget about literal interpretation of the Bible. You can operate in the gray, it is all covered by the blood anyway, after all legalism is out and eternal security is in. The results are the lukewarm Laodecian Church which is spewed out of God's mouth according to the Book of Revelation 3.

 

JESUITS BOW TO THE VATICAN TO FULFILL THE POPE'S
MANDATE FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER.
 

The United Nations was created for several reasons; one was for the protection of the Zionist government of Israel. The Pope created it with the help of Cardinal Spellman who lobied for South American dictators to vote for the entrance of Israel into the U.N.

Distinguishing between the Jews of the Abrahamic covenant which are the apple of God's Eye and the Zionistic government of Israel, which is the enemy of the Jewish people. Israelis have been betrayed into the hands of Pope John Paul II who is attempting to make Jerusalem his international city. Through the United Nations it already is.

Zionists and Jesuits live for world domination. That is what they live for, that is why they get up every morning, that is why they master various arts and subjects. That is why men like Theodore Hessburg, who is not a Jesuit but very much tied to them through the Council of Foreign Relations, has over one hundred earned degrees. They are very serious about what they are doing. It is their religious doctrine.

It is also the doctrine of the papacy. The pope “is the vicar of Christ” and that he has the right to rule all nations. Pope Julian III said, “Any nation that does not serve me shall perish”. Pope Innocent said the Pope is the one true God; he is not a mere man but a true God. Bonafest VIII said in his Unan Sanctum that he is but God and that all nations must serve him. At the carnation of the Pope they call him the Governor of the world.

So this man sitting in Rome claims pursuant to the document of temporal power has the right to rule every government on the face of the earth and the Jesuits go out to enforce that.

The fourth lateral council with Pope Innocent III in 1215 when he specified that he had the right to rule the world and that he was infallible. From the fourth lateral council on up to the council of Trent from 1545 to 1563 which is really a restatement of it. Where does that put Protestants and other religions? Under the Pope.

The Pope is also in need of much money. Hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into payoffs to keep the sexual activities of Roman Catholic Priests under wraps so they could continue their abominable acts behind closed doors. A two hundred million dollar Catholic cathedral was just dedicated in a financial district in Los Angeles. The Vatican is heavily invested in the United States stockmarket and probably had losses as well. His Jesuits in the White House would serve the Pope well if they conquer the Middle East. The third Temple is waiting to be built where the Pope of today or tomorrow will perform the miracles described in the Book of Revelation.

The Bible speaks of a tyrannical government in the latter days under a world constitution which is already written and waiting to be implemented. The United Nations is run by Communists which will ultimately run the world if the president bows to them instead which is still a possibility. If he goes it alone, he runs the risk of being prosecuted for war crimes. If President Bush really takes the Middle East on and wins, the United Nations will probably cease to exist because there won't be a reason for its existence and the President will run the world. The last conference in Africa already pointed to the fact that they could not function very well without the United States in their midst. [ resource: partial email from a researcher ]
 
Tighten the hatch and hang onto your bootstraps, this has been coming for a long time and we can't wait to get it over with. Halleluia, it's a time to rejoice. "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." (Rev. 22:12-14)
