I believe that Satan uses his instruments in all religions to destroy everything that reminds us of the coming of our Lord: the synagogue of Satan within Judaism (Jewish Freemasonry); the formation of terrorist groups created by Islamic fundamentalists such as Hamas (although the Quran itself orders the killing of Jews and Christians, there are some Muslims who show empathy for us); the liberals in the church who want to approve sodomy in order to direct Muslim anger against a degenerate West, which will inevitably lead to bloodshed according to Catholic prophecies.
Very interesting view on the situation in Israel/Palestine. From recent discovery, I have seen that Israel has been trying to make a peace deal with Palestine for years; but Palestine refuses a peace deal. They only want power and control of Israel once they have slaughtered the population there. This good man makes no mention of what many other historians are saying. England made all that region over to the Jews originally, including all of Jordan. The area now left to Israel is only 20% of the area allocated to them after the UN got involved years ago. And it worthy to note half of what we call Israel is desert, so a mean portion left after the UN got involved. Historians also note that Jews, Christians and Muslims lived peacefully together until around 1948. The Palestinians left the region when they though the other Arab states would wipe out every living creature to wipe out the Jews. This is what other historians tell us. The Jews miraculously survived the attempts to exterminate them in the past. There is a video I want to get, called "Against all Odds." It is the result of research done on how Israel survived many attacks to wipe them out, and how God miraculously preserved the Jews in the Holy Land since they were sent back, even from other Muslim counties by force back in the day. Only God knows what truly goes on. I am convinced the government in Israel would not be so harsh if the Palestine government agreed to making a peace deal. We even hear the latest attack by Hamas came about because Iran did not want Israel and one of the Arab states to broker a peace deal that could benefit both countries. Let us pray and trust God to help all those involved to seek peace and prosperity, and learn to forgive the past mistakes and atrocities for God's sake.
Excellent Julia. There are no heroes here in the respective governments in this conflict. As always it is the innocent who suffer.
There is so much terrible confusion that I feel, at this point in time, that Only God can help us. Certain things must happen, as it is written in revelations. I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus because all this other stuff is too unnerving. God bless us and keep us safe.
"Please read this. Here is some evidence to show that since the 1940s Zionists have admitted to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and they have been explicit that it is something they want - and continue - to do: A rare moment of Israeli political honesty came in October 2021 when far-right Israeli parliamentarian Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the Religious Zionist Party and ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in the Knesset to the Arab members, “You’re only here by mistake, because [founding prime minister David] Ben-Gurion didn’t finish the job, didn’t throw you out in ’48.” It was an acknowledgment that ethnic cleansing took place in 1948, albeit delivered by one of the most racist and homophobic Israeli politicians. It is not a new point of view; in fact, it’s been state ideology since 1948. Declassified documents from the Israel State Archives in 2021 revealed that attitudes toward the Palestinians have not changed much since the 1940s. It has been official policy, at least among some of the nation’s senior military and political elites, to forcibly expel Arabs to neighboring countries for the entire period of the country’s existence. Reuven Aloni, deputy director general of the Israel Lands Administration, said during a 1965 meeting that the ideal goal was “population exchange.” He was optimistic “that a day will come, in another ten, fifteen or twenty years, when there will be a situation of a certain kind, with a war or something resembling a war, when the basic solution will be a matter of transferring the Arabs. I think that we should think about this as a final goal.” Yehoshua Verbin, commander of the military government that ruled over Arab citizens between 1948 and 1966, admitted that ethnic cleansing occurred in 1948. “We expelled around half a million Arabs, we burnt homes, we looted their land—from their point of view—we didn’t give it back, we took land ...” he said.¹ ¹ Loewenstein, A.

I am trying to discern this situation. So far I have not decided if I am on one side or the other of this fault line. If it is a fault-line, it would suggest that fence-sitting is not feasable, but I find myself sitting on a very exposed fence. Before my conversion, I suppose I was influenced by the left-leaning zeitgeist of my culture, so I tended to be pro-Palestinian but without a real knowledge of this domain. After my conversion, upon reading the Old Testament, I acquired a new found respect for the Jews as God's chosen people. Now, as I learn more about Christian Zionism and 'who Israel is' according to Catholic Theology, i.e., The Church as the Body of Christ, this again changes my understanding of the whole situation. It appears to be a very comlex situation to discern. I do abhor the extreme violence and brutality exacted by Hamas on innocent people. I also abhor the decades of seemingly disproportionate violence meeted out to Palestinians by the Israelis. And the fact that the Israelis have kept over 2 million people hostage in degrading conditions in the Gaza strip for so long. From where I am standing, basic considerations of human dignity and morality have determined that the Israelis have lost this battle already. No matter how appaling the Hamas violence, no matter their stated aim to eradicate Israel from the map, one simply cannot bomb and kill innocent children and civilians like they have been doing in Gaza in recent days, in order to achieve their military aims. Neither do the Israelis have respect for their own people who are hostages. Going in all guns blazing is very likely to result in their deaths before they can be rescued. But it is necessary to hear the other side of the argument to that which Xavier is presenting, which some others on the forum have being putting forward. Here is Robert Spencer defending the Israeli position. I would put him in the Christian Zionist camp. I am not able to tell whether he is correct in his statements? Undoubtedly at least some of his statements on the history of this conflict are true. According to Rick Wiles and another Southern Baptist preacher, the phenomenon of Christian Zionism in the U.S. came about because of erroneous Bible produced by American theologian Cyrus Ingerson Scofield who taught predispensational premillennialism (millenarianism).
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

Christian Nationalist Andrew Torba is Based and Red-Pilled on this subject. We can all take the Blue Pill if we want, and go back to Wonderland. Or, choose a different path. https://twitter.com/BasedTorba He retweeted a Zionist Extremist who insulted Christians in every way saying our Book is full of lies other than where it says Jews initially possessed their land. Then, he continued: "But this time we will wipe you all out from this Earth". See how blatant their Pharisaic Judaism/Talmudic Zionism is, and it's Anti-Christic and Anti-Christian hatred of Christ and Christians. Never forget the Talmud blasphemes Jesus Christ as a blasphemer and sorcerer and insults His Most Blessed Virgin Mother as an adulteress and a whore. It also says Christians are to be harmed directly and indirectly. Another red-pilled writer to read on the subject is Pre-Vatican II Traditional Catholic Priest, Fr. Denis Fahey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Fahey A Great Christian, a Great Man, a Great Priest, with a Great Heart for the Jewish People, yet Completely Red-Pilled here. I think St. Maximillian Kolbe was also. Mossad believes in Pharisaic Judaism/Talmudic Extremism. Torba's Tweet: "Antichrist Israel cuts off the water supply and gives 2 million people 24 hours to move before they start their genocidal carnage, so God sends heavy rains. Simply incredible." https://twitter.com/BasedTorba/status/1713383240608723350 In the Book of Revelation, Jesus Christ said this to a Mystical, Mystery of Iniquity kind of thing He called the Synagogue of Satan, that was busily engaged in Persecuting Christians and Other Innocents: "9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship (bow) before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. (Martyrs/Innocents)." (Rev 3:9)
"Pharisaic Judaism and its Anti-Gentilism and Christophobic Bigotry in Israel CBN News has repeatedly reported on the Persecution of Christians in Israel. This comes from Pharisaic Judaism and its bigoted teaching against Christians. While Christendom stands with Israel and supports Israel's right to exist contra mundum (against the world), some Jews hate and persecute Christians and spit on Christian Clergy. Thankfully, other more moderate Jews respect Christian Pastors and Priests, but more progress is needed. Christians in Israel should enjoy the same rights and full freedoms Jews enjoy in America or Europe, just like Christians in India should enjoy the same rights and full freedoms Hindus enjoy in America or Europe, and the same with Christians in Pakistan and Muslims in America or Europe. The Golden Rule to treat others as you want to be treated is being violated by these Persecutors. Videos can be seen here. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]" https://www.conservapedia.com/Pharisaic_Judaism
Actually, maybe I'm not; I spent a couple hours today on ancestry.com trying to verify the family story and can't find anything. ( I did find a Gates ancestor, though ) At any rate, this is a good website for tracking conflicts: https://israelpalestine.liveuamap.c...irens-sounding-in-tel-aviv-and-central-israel There are buttons at the top to switch between war zones.
Some choice quotes from the Talmud from: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talmud/On_gentiles 1. With regard to bloodshed, if a gentile murders another gentile, or a gentile murders a Jew, he is liable. If a Jew murders a gentile, he is exempt. 2. With regard to robbery, the term permitted is relevant, as it is permitted for a Jew to rob a gentile. 3. Kill the best of the heathens in time of war; crush the brain of the best of serpents. The most worthy of women indulges in witchcraft. Happy is he who does the will of the Omnipresent. So that's Pharisaic or Rabbinic Judaism, which rejected Jesus Christ and for which the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D., as Jesus Christ prophesied it would be: " 33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation. 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” (Mat 23:37) And now, consider this interesting finding from Christian Apologetics Site, Answering Islam: "So much, indeed, was Muhammad indebted to the Jews for a great portion of his teaching on this and other subjects that the Qur'an has been described as a compendium of Talmudic Judaism. (Blair, The Sources of Islam, p. 55)." Virtually all the Qur'anic records which are reliant on Jewish sources can be traced either to the Bible or to Talmudic records such as the Midrash, Mishnah, etc." https://answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Vol1/5b.html So that's basically what Islam is, it is part Christianity and part Talmudic Judaism, as the quoted scholarly author says. The parts that resemble Christianity are evident, Jesus Christ as the True Messiah, as a Miracle Working Prophet, His Virgin Mother Mary as a Most Holy Woman, etc. Next, the parts that resemble Talmudic Judaism: the emphasis on Circumcision, the prohibition of Pork etc (a return to Judaism), the denial of Christ's Divinity, the excesses and extremities against pagans etc (and beside that being wrong, the more extreme interpretations of these two religions regard Christians also as allegedly pagans and idolaters, which is what has caused and is causing many problems for many Christians also who live under Jewish or Muslim dominion or majority countries - unlike Christian countries which give Full Freedom to adherents of these two religions, but they don't want to reciprocate). So that's something to consider, apparently some Jews who met Mohammed had some impact on him; some Christians also might have had. Some he might have made up, etc. Anyway, while the Evil of some extremist excesses in some Quranic Verses - so contrary to the New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - are now better known, the same or arguably even greater extremist excesses in those Talmudic passages are perhaps less well known. But Wiki has the quotes.
Scary stuff. I remember hearing that the Talmud is vile. Well there is plenty of tribal barbarism to go around. Without God's grace to bind us we unravel into bloody chaos.
Some Based Retweets from Dr. Taylor Marshall: https://twitter.com/TaylorRMarshall "How many pastors called for prayers and donations for Armenia, the first Christian nation, when 120,000 Armenians were ethnically cleansed by Azerbaijan last month? Surely your pastor is doing more than just following mainstream media, right?" Pray for Christian Armenia. Both Zionist Israel and Islamist Turkey are cooperating in this Ethnic Cleansing of the First Christian Armenian Nation. Not to mention the shameful denial or minimizing of the First Great Genocide of the 20th Century, the Turkish Genocide of Armenians. "It includes one of the first genocides of the 20th century, when an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were systematically exterminated by Ottoman Turks, an event commemorated annually on April 24, and which Turkey still denies to this day. Incredibly, Israel also denies it." https://forward.com/opinion/468279/armenian-genocide-israel-turkey-recognition/ "The Banality of DenialIsrael and the Armenian Genocide By Yair Auron" https://www.routledge.com/The-Banal...-Armenian-Genocide/Auron/p/book/9780765808349 Both Extremist Zionism and Radical Islamism are Two Branches/Outlets of what Christ calls the Synagogue of Satan in Rev 3:9. He also prophecies the ultimate failure of all their plans, and the Church completely triumphing over them: "I will make them (Persecutors of Christians) bow before YOUR FEET (Persecuted Christians/Saints/Martyrs), and they will know that I have you loved you". Holy Armenian Saints and Martyrs, Pray for us. Amen. Looking for that retweet from Dr. Taylor Marshall which quoted a Jewish Pharisee who was abusing Yeshua or "Yeshu" as they derogatorily call Him to mock Him based on the Talmud, saying He was allegedly burning in Hell, blaspheming Him in other unspeakable ways etc. When I find it, I will post it here. But the above came to mind when I saw Dr. Marshall more recently tweeted about the Ethnic Cleansing of Armenians, which many Pastors and the Mainstream Media (owned by you know who) shamefully refuse to more widely broadcast and publish and condemn it. Meanwhile, here is the Toledot Yeshu, a Jewish polemic meant to insult Jesus Christ: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledot_Yeshu [Next Post]
"Summary of Wagenseil version[edit source] A great misfortune struck Israel in the year 3651 (c. 90 BC). A man of the tribe of Judah, Joseph Pandera, lived near a widow who had a daughter called Miriam. This virgin was betrothed to Yohanan, a Torah-learned and God-fearing man of the house of David. Before the end of a certain Sabbath, Joseph looked lustfully at Miriam, knocked on her door and pretended to be her husband, but she only submitted against her will. When Yohanan came later to see her, she was surprised how strange his behavior was. Thus they both knew of Pandera's crime and Miriam's fault. Without witnesses to punish Pandera, Yohanan left for Babylonia. Miriam gave birth to Yeshua, whose name later depreciated to Yeshu. When he was old enough, she took him to study the Jewish tradition. One day he walked with his head uncovered, showing disrespect, in front of the sages. This betrayed his illegitimacy and Miriam admitted him as Pandera's son. Scandalised, he fled to Upper Galilee. Yeshu later went to the Jerusalem Temple and learned the letters of God's ineffable name (one could do anything desired by them). He gathered 310 young men and proclaimed himself the Messiah, claiming Isaiah's "a virgin shall conceive and bear a son" and other prophets prophesied about him. Using God's name he healed a lame man, they worshipped him as the Messiah. The Sanhedrin decided to arrest him, and sent messengers to invite him to Jerusalem. They pretended to be his disciples to trick him. When he was brought, bound, before Queen Helen, the sages accused him of sorcery. When he brought a corpse to life, she released him. Accused again, the queen sent for his arrest. He asked his disciples not to resist. Using God's name he made birds of clay and caused them to fly. The sages then got Judah Iskarioto to learn the name. At a contest of miracles between the two, they both lost knowledge of the name. Yeshu was arrested and beaten with pomegranate staves. He was taken to Tiberias and bound to a synagogue pillar. Vinegar was given to him to drink and a crown of thorns was put on his head. An argument broke out between the elders and Yeshu followers resulting in their escape to Antioch (or Egypt). On the day before the Passover, Yeshu decided to go to the Temple and recover the secret name. He entered Jerusalem riding on an ass, but one of his followers, Judah Iskarioto, told the sages he was in the Temple. On a day before the Passover, they tried to hang him on a tree; using the name, he caused it (and any tree they should use) to break. A cabbage stalk, not being a tree, was used successfully to hang him on, and he was buried. His followers on Sunday told the queen that he was not in his grave, that he ascended to heaven as he had prophesied. As a gardener took him from the grave, they searched it and could not find him. But the gardener confessed he had taken it to prevent his followers from stealing his body and claiming his ascension to heaven. Recovering the body, the sages tied it to a horse's tail and took it to the queen. Convinced he was a false prophet, she ridiculed his followers and commended the sages.[44]"
