Sorry there have been few updates today. I was back to work today after two days off sick, so I have been quite busy. It's 20 minutes to midnight, and I thought I'd try and squeeze one news story in before I go to bed. I was at an Israel meeting tonight, convened by a Christian holiday company for those interested in taking a tour of the Holy Land next year God willing. I may plan to go again if I enjoy my trip to Israel this October. It was a good meeting, but it focused more on the prophecy aspect of things rather than the places of interest and preparations for the trip. My friend Martin Wensley was there with his wife. Martin Wensley is a believing Jew. The meeting was also taken by a Jewish believer. Unfortunately he was speaking from a post-tribulationist viewpoint tonight, and although he is entitled to his opinions, I didn't really enjoy the meeting as much as I could have. There was no "Blessed Hope" there. Martin Wensley tackled the speaker on the Rapture of the Church after the meeting. I was laughing inside as he was doing it, he had more courage than I did. I missed my own prophecy meeting tonight to go to the Israel meeting. The topic tonight was to be the Rise of the Antichrist. I should have an audio of the meeting on the site tomorrow or Friday night. Anyway, back to the topic. Many of you may have heard of the programme, Tomorrow's Pioneers. It is run by the Hamas terrorist organization, and is broadcast on al-Aqsa television to children living in Gaza. The programme previously hosted a cartoon mouse in the name of Farfour, who routinely urged Muslim children to kill Jews. When Farfour tried to cheat in his exams at school, he claimed he couldn't study because his school books had been buried underneath the rubble of his house, which had been demolished by Jews. Farfour later died a "martyr's death" when he was killed by a Jew after he refused to sell him his property. As I commented before, Hamas was under pressure from PA President Abbas to cut the programme, but by having him die a martyr's death at the hands of a Jew, Hamas scored a massive propaganda victory. But that wasn't the end of the Hamas "death cult" programming. Farfour was soon replaced by a "killer bee" named Nahoul, that is just as bent on genocide as dear old Farfour was. Children look to Farfour and Nahoul as heroes, but perhaps more worryingly, to an eleven year-old girl as a role model, who openly desires to die a martyr's death (i.e. in the process of murdering Jews)... Quote: ""A lot of people in Palestine have died as martyrs, and lots of Palestinians hope to be martyrs," Saraa said of Farfour's demise. "This is one of the ends." Asked if she hoped one day to be a martyr, Saraa instinctively nodded her head. "Of course," Saraa said. "It's something to be proud of. Every Palestinian citizen hopes to be a martyr." Saraa helps deliver similar messages to Palestinian children from a Hamas TV set filled with colourful numbers and pictures of kittens. During the show, Saraa fields calls from Palestinian children who warble songs about Islam, taking control of Jerusalem and finding answers in the barrel of a machine gun. Both these news articles were published on the same day. I wasn't planning to commenting on the above article until I read the BBC one this evening. I don't normally paste whole news articles into my website, I just copy the paragraphs that are relevant to my thoughts. But in this case I have decided to past the whole news article, for I just can't believe what I am reading - or to be more precise, what I am not reading. Has the BBC criticized Tomorrow's Pioneers for its blatant child abuse, by encouraging children to commit murder, inciting them to racial and religious hatred and brainwashing them into believing death is good? No. The BBC are more concerned that the show's cast are harming animals. I couldn't believe it until I read it. Not a single mention is made of this militant brand of Islamic propaganda in the whole article. At one time this blatant omission would have prompted me to write a letter of complaint to the BBC. But I have sadly grown accustomed to the BBC's callousness. Quote: "A US-based animal rights group says it will protest to a Hamas-run TV channel over a programme, showing animals being abused at a zoo in the Gaza Strip. The group, Peta, criticised al-Aqsa TV for the children's show in which an actor was swinging cats around by their tails and throwing stones at lions. The show's host said afterwards that children should not behave like this. The show was criticised in June for featuring a character in a Mickey Mouse suit, denouncing Israel and the US. The character was later shown being beaten to death by an actor who played an Israeli agent. 'Sickening' The episode about the Gaza zoo featured in the al-Aqsa TV children's programme - Tomorrow's Pioneers - last week. In it, an actor dressed as a bee was swinging cats around by their tails and also throwing stones at lions in their cages. The episode was reportedly aimed at teaching children not to abuse animals. But it drew strong criticism from Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) after it was posted on YouTube video-sharing website by Palestinian Media Watch group. "It's shocking and sickening," Peta's Martin Mersereau told Reuters news agency. "Any lessons meant to be contained in this segment are almost certainly lost on most children, who are more likely to imitate people they see treating animals cruelly rather than understand this behaviour is wrong," he said. So far there have been no comments from al-Aqsa TV officials. Source Fox News, BBC |

A parliamentary panel in the United Kingdom is urging the government to allow scientists to make decisions on how far the nation can go into hybrid embryo research. The government had originally proposed to outlaw the practice of creating human-animal hybrids, but later bowed to pressure from British scientists who are prepared to ignore the convictions of a majority of the people in this country in order to further their own medical research. This is what the scientists wrote in an open letter to the government, published in the Times newspaper. Quote: "Some people and some religious organisations object to this research, and most also object to all research involving early embryos. But many patient groups, leading scientists, doctors, and ethicists support this research being able to proceed under the regulation of the HFEA. In other words, the scientists obviously know what they are talking about, so they must be in the moral majority. The parliamentary panel is urging the government to allow a vote on the principle of granting licences to scientists who want to create human-animal hybrids in their research, for the committee states in its report, "once you cross that line and mix human and animal material, it is just a matter of degree". The hybrid embryos are only permitted to grow for two weeks, after which they must be destroyed. But in a remarkable twist of logic, Catholic Bishops in the United Kingdom recently expressed their view that these hybrid embryos are essentially human, and should be permitted to live after being implanted into a suitable host. Quote: "In their submission to the committee, they said: "At the very least, embryos with a preponderance of human genes should be assumed to be embryonic human beings, and should be treated accordingly. "In particular, it should not be a crime to transfer them, or other human embryos, to the body of the woman providing the ovum, in cases where a human ovum has been used to create them. "Such a woman is the genetic mother, or partial mother, of the embryo; should she have a change of heart and wish to carry her child to term, she should not be prevented from doing so." Of course the scientists and the Catholic Church see no difficulties in mixing human and animal DNA. They both adhere to Darwin's theory of evolution, and thus believe that animals and humans are already inter-related. But the Bible teaches that animals were created to reproduce "after their kind", Genesis 1:25, and that man was the only being to be made a "living soul", Genesis 2:7, making him distinct from the animal world. What's more, the Scriptures condemn any attempt of man to procreate with animals (Leviticus 20:15), and the idea of creating a human-animal hybrid is the modern equivalent. This situation if allowed, would once again result in the genetic pollution of the human race, which seemingly occurred before the flood, and will invite the judgement of God upon this world.

John Reaney, a homosexual "Christian", has won a landmark case again the Church of England over claims he was unfairly discriminated against due to his sexuality. It is the first test case for the anti-discrimination legislation, called the Employment Equality Regulations, which were brought into force by the Labour government in 2003. Reaney had applied for the job of a diocesan youth officer in county Hereford, and was approved for the post by a panel which included two vicars, a National Youth advisor and Chairman of the diocesan education board. But when he was later questioned by Bishop Priddis on his promiscuous lifestyle, and his application subsequently turned down, Mr Reaney decided to take the Church of England to court for discrimination. Quote: "Mr Reaney, from Colwyn Bay, North Wales, hailed the ruling as a significant victory in equality for gay and lesbian Christians. He said: "I'm delighted that the Bishop of Hereford has lost this case. "It demonstrates to many lesbian and gay Christians working for God within the Church of England that they are entitled to fair and respectful treatment." A hearing has yet to be arranged to set his compensation. There is no upper limit on payouts. In reality, it demonstrates the depth of depravity that this nation has fallen to, and in particular the spiritual condition of the "Church" in this country. Not only has the government legalized sin and is now enforcing its acceptance on those who would naturally repudiate such a lifestyle, but those claiming to know the Scriptures are prepared to "go to law" with their brother in order to have their sins sanctioned by the Church (1st Corinthians 6:1). Have we forgotten what the Lord said, "Be ye holy for I am holy", 1st Peter 1:16? And again, "let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity", 2nd Timothy 2:19. According to the Scriptures, every true believer in Christ is a priest unto God (1st Peter 2:9). Our bodies are to be presented as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God (Romans 12:1). In the book of Revelation, the Church of Pergamos was upbraided by the Lord for turning a blind eye to those in its fellowship who held to the doctrine of Balaam. Balaam attempted to defeat the nation of Israel by corrupting it through idolatry and sexual sins. The Lord's warning to Pergamos applies just as much today as it did 2000 years ago, "Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth", Revelation 2:16. 1st Peter 2:9-10
But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
