While the Bush Administration pours millions of US taxpayers’ dollars into the Palestinian Authority in a vain hope that that regime will ever build and govern a viable state-like entity, the Palestinian Authority is busy celebrating the victories of America’s enemies.

As an American I know how blind our government has made the general population.  It is no surprise to me that other countries celebrate destruction against us.  But so many here are clueless as to what the world is really thinking.  Our news outlets deliberately withhold information from us that does not fit in with their own liberal agenda.  I pray that Americans will have their eyes open and their minds clear to what is going on.  I also pray that non-believers will be drawn to Yeshua and gain wisdom during these end times before it's too late.

Amazingly, after Jews around the world dreamt and prayed for 2,000 years about returning to Zion and even rebuilding their temple to the Almighty, an Israeli government is today actively shielding the Muslim powers that are trying to erase any Jewish connection to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

Israeli archaeologists have uncovered a quarry they believe may have been used for cutting stones used in the construction of the Second Temple. The site was discovered during excavation work, preparing the way for the building of a new school in the Ramat Shlomo neighbourhood of Jerusalem. Some of the blocks at the quarry resemble those used in the construction of the lower parts of the Temple Mount compound. Pottery shards and coins dating back to the Second Temple period have been discovered in the quarry, confirming it was being used during the time of Jesus Christ. 

Quote: "The Israel Antiquities Authority said on Sunday experts believe stones as long as 8 meters (24 feet) were extracted from the quarry and then dragged by oxen to building sites in Jerusalem for major projects such as the temple. "This construction most likely included the walls of the Temple Mount and other monumental buildings," the authority said in a statement. Some of the blocks discovered at the site resemble stones used in the lower parts of the Temple Mount compound, the site of two biblical Jewish temples, the statement said.

Just a few weeks ago Israeli archaeologists discovered a massive waterway under an ancient road into Jerusalem, which was used as a hideout for the Jews during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70AD. This latest discovery validates the Scriptures, which detail the construction of the Second Temple under King Herod at the time of Christ. According to the Bible, King Herod was building a massive extension to the Temple Mount, which by the commencement of Christ's ministry had already been over 46 years in construction (John 2:20). The last time the Lord left the Temple, the disciples pointed out the magnificent stones the buildings were made of. As the article states, some of these stones were massive. They weighed hundreds of tonnes, and only today does our civilization have the technology to lift such loads without breaking them. The building of the Temple must have been magnificent to the Jewish people...

Mark 13:1-4
And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

Christ's prophecy of the destruction of the Temple Mount was fulfilled forty years later. But the rest of Christ's prophecy remains to be fulfilled. The Lord did not return in 70AD when the Temple was destroyed. According to Luke's Gospel, following the destruction of the Temple, the Jews would be driven out into all the nations of earth and Jerusalem would be trodden down of the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles was fulfilled (Luke 21:24). Part of that prophecy was fulfilled in 1967, when Israel recaptured East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Although Israel has the Temple Mount in its hands, it is very evident to see that it is still trodden down of the Gentiles. But just as the Lord's prophecy concerning the Diaspora was fulfilled to the letter, so will other prophecies concerning the regathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, and of Christ's Second Coming to earth. The Lord is coming back, first to receive His Bride, and then to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I pray that He would help us to be faithful witnesses for Him.

Further revelations on the nature of the Israeli strike on a nuclear target in Syria have been published today. A former senior Mossad official Uzi Arad has stated that when the full details of the Israeli strike are published, it will "stun everyone".  The British Sunday Times newspaper reported today that Israeli commandos dressed as Syrian officers were able to seize nuclear material that originated from North Korea, and this evidence played a major part in the joint US and Israeli decision to launch a strike on a target in northern Syria. Israeli officials have stated that the target must have been of such an importance, to destroy it, knowing they risked starting a war with Syria and possibly Iran. But what is perhaps more worrying, are reports that North Korean engineers were killed in the attack.

Quote: "The Sunday Times reported that diplomats in North Korea and China believe a number of North Koreans were killed in the strike, based on reports reaching Asian governments about conversations between Chinese and North Korean officials. The officials noted that ballistic missile technicians and military scientists had been working for some time with the Syrians. According to the report, the Bush Administration was given Israeli intelligence suggesting North Korean personnel and nuclear-related material were at the Syrian site over the summer, but the administration demanded "clear evidence of nuclear-related activities before giving the operation its blessing." As a result, the newspaper said, IDF commandos "almost certainly dressed in Syrian uniforms" seized samples of the nuclear material and took them back to Israel for testing. The sources confirmed that the samples were identified as being from North Korea. According to the Sunday Times, the site - near Dayr az-Zawr - now lies in ruins following the IAF strike.

Iranians have also been involved in arming Syria. During the week, dozens of Iranian engineers were killed when a chemical warhead they were fitting to a Scud-C missile accidentally exploded. News that North Koreans are involved in Syria's missile programme is likely to worry Israel, for North Korea has a highly sophisticated missile programme and recently announced to the world that is a nuclear power. Following the success of Hizbullah during the Second Lebanese War, Islamic states now believe that they can bring Israel to its knees through a constant rain of missiles on Israeli towns. Clearly Iran and Syria hope that by improving their missiles, this time they can bring about Israel's destruction rather than just a political stalemate. So history is once again repeating itself. In the Old Testament, after the Syrians were defeated by the Israelites, they blamed their defeat on the God of Israel. They said He must be the God of the hills, but not the God of the valleys. So they changed their tactics. But God delivered Israel's enemies into their hands (1st Kings 20:28). Once again the Arab nations will find themselves fighting against the Mighty God of Jacob.

Ezekiel 39:3-5
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
