EZEKIEL 38:18-39:16 King James Bible
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 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.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

Tropical Storm Karen nears hurricane strength Wed Sep 26, 12:14 PM ET

MIAMI (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Karen gained strength on Wednesday and could soon become a hurricane in the open Atlantic while a new tropical storm was expected to form in the Gulf of Mexico, U.S forecasters said. Karen, the 11th named Atlantic storm of the year, was located around 1,225 miles east of the Windward Islands by 11 a.m. (1500 GMT) and had top sustained winds of 70 miles per hour (110 km per hour), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.The storm could become a hurricane later on Wednesday with winds in excess of 74 mph (119 kph), the hurricane center said, but its most likely track would take it well north of the Caribbean islands and out over open ocean, potentially toward Bermuda.A developing tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico, however, was expected to strike land within three days although computer models indicated that important U.S. and Mexican oil installations in the region were not at risk.

The tropical depression, which would be named Lorenzo once it reaches tropical storm strength with winds of at least 39 mph (63 kph), was around 205 miles east-southeast of Tampico, Mexico, and around 155 miles east of Tuxpan.Its top winds were near 35 mph (55 kph) and it was expected to drift aimlessly for a while before coming ashore in central Mexico at below hurricane strength.None of the computer models used to forecast storm tracks and intensity showed the system heading north toward areas near Texas and Louisiana where the United States gets a third of domestic crude output and 15 percent of its natural gas.The 2007 Atlantic storm season has generated three hurricanes so far, including Hurricane Humberto, which startled coastal residents of Texas and Louisiana in mid-September by unexpectedly strengthening into a hurricane before landfall, and two ferocious maximum-strength Category 5 hurricanes.

One of the Category 5 hurricanes, Dean, swiped Jamaica and then plowed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The other, Felix, tore into Central America.It was the first time since records began in 1851 that two top-ranked hurricanes on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale made landfall in the Atlantic basin in the same season, which begins June 1 and runs to the end of November.
Weather experts have forecast an above-average 16 named storms this year. Record-busting 2005 saw 28 storms form, of which 15 strengthened into hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, the storm that swamped New Orleans.

Sarkozy sets conditions for rejoining NATO military command
25.09.2007 - 08:59 CET | By Honor Mahony

French president Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday (24 September) laid down two conditions for France to rejoin the military command structure of NATO after an absence of over 40 years.In an interview with The New York Times, Mr Sarkozy said he had no problem with returning to the military alliance's integrated command, from which French president Charles de Gaulle withdrew in 1966.But he said that first European defence must move forward and that top positions in the US-led NATO organisation should be reserved for French personnel.I would make progress on a European defence a condition for moving into the integrated command, and I am asking our American friends to understand that, said the president.A Europe capable of defending itself independently would not be a risk for the Americans; it would be an asset.

He continued: It is obvious that if we were to envisage such a move, it could only happen in as much as space was made in the leadership, at the highest level, for representatives of France.
France remained a member of the alliance after President de Gaulle removed French troops from its integrated military command and said that all non-French NATO troops may no longer be stationed in France. It rejoined the Military Committee in 1995 and has become considerably closer to NATO, participating in military operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the French army has also adopted the same procedures as the alliance.Mr Sarkozy's predecessor Jacques Chirac also sought to join the military command structure in 1997, but the conditions he set were rejected by the Clinton administration.The current French president appears to have put the ball in the US' court with the two conditions.

European defence policy

However, Nicolas Sarkozy has also done much to open the informal political channels between Washington and Paris by publicly praising America and its values and also choosing to take his summer holiday in the US.The NATO pre-conditions also see a return to a favourite topic of Mr Sarkozy - the creation of a European defence policy.It is set to be a big theme when France takes over political leadership of the EU in the second half of 2008.The president indicated the importance he attaches to the theme by having troops from all EU member states present during this year's celebrations of Bastille Day on 14 July. At the time, Mr Sarkozy said: The basis for a European defence exists. We must make it grow, he said, adding I want Europe to be capable of ensuring its security autonomously.

Central Africa: France Takes the Lead On New UN-EU Peacekeeping Mission - UN Integrated Regional Information Networks
26 September 2007

New York

France will be the largest single troop contributor to a new joint UN-European Union multi-dimensional peacekeeping mission to Chad and Central African Republic authorised by the UN Security Council on 25 September.The former colonial power of both countries already has a military base in Chad and some troops in Central African Republic (CAR). It is expected to contribute about half of the EU force of 3,000 to 4,000 troops to support the new UN Mission, MINURCAT.Deployment is expected to start in November, preceding the arrival of the UN-African Union hybrid force expected in the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan early next year.Chadian President Idriss Deby, who was initially reluctant to allow a UN force into his country, agreed to a proposal France put forward in June for a joint UN-EU force.However rebel groups in Chad have warned the international community that if the EU troops take sides in the country's civil war they will become a target.

French troops based in the Chadian capital N'djamena were perceived as having been instrumental in halting one rebel group's attempt to invade N'djamena in April 2006.Some aid groups in eastern Chad have expressed concern about France's dominance in the new peacekeeping force. If the major component of the force is French it will not be seen as a neutral force in the country by a lot of other stakeholders, Oxfam's Roland Van Hauwermeiren told the BBC, after the Security Council's adoption.The resolution gives the EU troops the power to use force to protect civilians in accordance with Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The EU soldiers are to provide security and assist in the flow of humanitarian aid.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees AntÃ'nio Guterres issued a statement after the resolution was adopted, saying, This is most urgent given that the humanitarian situation in eastern Chad is very difficult and serious and [there is] fear of increasing violence, causing more people to flee, with the approaching end of the rainy season.Since the start of armed conflict in Darfur in 2003, some 240,000 Sudanese men, women and children have fled to Chad, according to UN estimates. Fighting in Chad and CAR has displaced some 350,000 people within the two countries.According to the two-tiered resolution which France drafted, the UN component will consist of 300 police, 50 military liaison officers and civilian officers mandated to select, train and advise local police.After six months, the Secretary General will review the mission's progress. After a year a UN peacekeeping force may take over from the EU.

The resolution was adopted hours before French President Nicolas Sarkozy chaired an African summit in coordination with the UN's annual General Assembly.France welcomes the adoption of the resolution, Sarkozy said at the summit. The crisis in Darfur and its regional ramifications are a priority for France.[This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations]

WW3 THE 3 WAVES THAT MARCH TO ISRAEL

DANIEL 11:40-45
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

The Third and Final Wave of WW3 is when all Nations march to Jerusalem, but JESUS bodily returns to earth and destroys them,sets up his KINGDOM OF RULE FOR 1000 YEARS THEN FOREVER.

Nuclear Iran would lead to war
Ian Munro, New York - September 27, 2007

ALLOWING Iran to acquire nuclear weapons would destabilise the world, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has told the UN General Assembly.Mr Sarkozy said weakness in the face of Iran's nuclear ambitions would lead to war.There will be no peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of nuclear arms proliferation … Weakness and renunciation do not lead to peace. They lead to war, Mr Sarkozy said yesterday in his first UN speech.
Senior diplomats of the five permanent Security Council member countries and Germany will meet over the next few days to discuss possible new sanctions against Tehran because of its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.Also yesterday, Australia's Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, expressed concern at Iran's increasing isolation and said there was growing support for financial sanctions.

Things are getting worse in relation to Western relationships with Iran, but also, by the way, I think many of the Arab states' relations to Iran are going through a period of rapid deterioration, he said.Mr Downer was speaking after Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told the General Assembly, in veiled comments aimed at the US and Israel, that some powers do not value any nation or human beings, and the only things that matter to them are themselves, their political parties and groups.
Mr Ahmadinejad said the issue of his country's nuclear program was closed since Tehran was co-operating with UN nuclear authorities.

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Ahmadinejad’s Psychological Warfare
By Dr. Mike Evans SEPT 27,07

In the spirit of universal horror and revulsion at the Holocaust, the U.N. was founded in 1945 by war-torn nations hoping to at last establish a foundation for world peace based on human rights. Why would a man who denies the Holocaust and declares that With the force of God behind, we shall soon experience the world without the United States of Zionism” be allowed a forum to further insult the American people? Since 2005, Iran has threatened to bomb the State of Israel and Iraqi bases saying it has locked on its 600 Shahab missiles.Advanced Iranian weapons are pouring into Afghanistan and Iraq and are being used to kill American troops, i.e. the Misagh-1, a portable surface-to-air missile with an infrared guided system; the RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenade; 240mm rockets; and EFPs (explosively formed penetrators), armor-piercing roadside bombs.

Why would Mahmoud Ahmadinejad want to manipulate and utilize the American media as a means to reach his goal? The simple answer is found in the statement he made on 60 Minutes, that he was waging psychological warfare. Writing this article from the fifth floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in New York City, Ahmadinejad’s Ground Zero for his psychological warfare, is an eerie feeling. I have held many meetings with his diplomats; it has become quite clear that they will not permit their reality to be distorted with the facts.Osama bin Laden told Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, that fifty percent of the war on terror was a media war. Israel’s President Peres told me that, in fact, it is ninety percent. Ahmadinejad understands how to manipulate the media to fight the war on terror and win it. He is doing precisely that.

Columbia University, the U.N., and the liberal Left media are playing into his hands by providing a platform which grants him world legitimacy. This terrorist presides over a fascist state known for its blatant support of terror, arrests men whose hair is deemed too long, and even worse, supports the death penalty for gays. The absurdity at Columbia is that the university has banned the ROTC from its campus because the ROTC would not support the don’t ask, don’t tell gay military policy. Yet, a man responsible for murdering gays is welcome.The head of the Minuteman organization’s request for a meeting at Columbia over the immigration issue was cancelled. Now, a murderer and the man who has replaced Osama bin Laden as head of the A team of terror, the man who controls billions of dollars and tens of millions of people, and the head of several terror sub-contractors in the Middle East (HAMAS, Hezbollah, the Mahdi Army), has been granted a privileged visa.Why did Ahmadinejad want to visit Ground Zero? It was certainly not to show his sympathy for suffering Americans; it was to exploit Ground Zero and use the hallowed ground as an arena to wage psychological warfare. It was to be a platform to build his case on why he believed we were attacked. (Like his Holocaust denial, he also denies that America was attacked by al-Qaeda.)

Iran has experienced a severe crackdown on social behavior and dress; women are barred from smoking in public and from attending stadium events. The liberal Left media has become the carrier to spread the Ebola virus of terror. By playing into Ahmadinejad’s hands, the media has elevated him in the Middle East to the role of terrorist superstar defying the evil empire.Ahmadinejad has become increasingly isolated at home and in the region because of his go-it-alone, ineffective policies. He is neither the head of state nor the commander in chief as Columbia University and the secular media claim; his support comes from the Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameini, the supreme leader. His political strength depends on his ability to manipulate the media of the West for ideological purposes.Iran’s President controls civil government in Iran, and holds the title, Guardian of the Revolution. The Iranian people have become so disillusioned that two of his ministers have resigned, the head of the central bank has resigned, and the chief judge criticized him for his mismanagement of the government. His effectiveness in manipulating the media of the West is responsible for the propagation of his ideological revolution. How shameful when Ahmadinejad could be easily ignored and marginalized. This would strengthen the hand of the Iranian people suffering under his fanatical fascist regime.

Ronald Reagan achieved that effectively by not allowing Yasser Arafat a privileged visa to enter the U.S. Ahmadinejad’s PR tour is an insult to the American families who have lost sons and daughters in Iraq and in Afghanistan compliments of Iran. It is an insult to the Bush Doctrine on Terror: If you harbor terrorists, you are a terrorist. If you train terrorists, you are a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you’re a terrorist; and you will be held accountable by the United States and our friends. Legitimizing Ahmadinejad effectively undermines the human rights organizations’ leaders in Iran that have suffered imprisonment and even death for daring stand up to him.It’s hypocrisy to tell Mexicans that love America and only want to come here to work, We are throwing you in jail; you don’t have a visa, and provide a privileged visa to a terrorist/murderer who has threatened to wipe the State of Israel off the map and to send suicide bombers into the United States.Ahmadinejad’s speech at the U.N. will be no different than his last two when he proclaimed that the perfect human being was coming; and asked that he make us among his followers, and among us who strive for his return. (September 2006) He truly believes that he is a 21st century John the Baptist that will usher in this Twelfth Mahdi through an apocalypse. That is what prompted his 18-page letter to President Bush declaring, Those with insight can already hear the sounds of the shattering and fall of the ideology and thoughts of the Liberal democratic systems.Ahmadinejad has an agenda; now he has a platform, thanks to the U.N., Columbia University and the liberal Left media.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Palestinians: Olmert agreed to surrender Jerusalem

Palestinian Authority sources said at the weekend that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has privately agreed to surrender the eastern half of Jerusalem - including the Old City and Temple Mount - to the Arabs as part of any final status peace agreement.
Speaking to the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al Hayat Al Jadeeda, one official said that Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week that Olmert had assured him Israel would ultimately meet the long-standing Arab demand on control of Jerusalem. Olmert reportedly made the promise during a recent preparatory meeting with Abbas ahead of a major US-hosted Middle East peace summit scheduled to take place in Washington in November.

In an appearance before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, Olmert confirmed that he stands ready to surrender most of Judea and Samaria as part of what he hopes would be a genuine peace agreement with the Palestinians, reported The Jerusalem Post. However, Olmert looked to lessen expectations of the upcoming gathering, telling lawmakers they should see it as a short international meeting intended to give international encouragement to the process that we initiated with the Palestinians rather than a full-blown peace conference.

Key Arab nations invited to peace talks

WASHINGTON, September 25 -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that key Arab nations, including Syria, would be invited to President Bush's planned Mideast peace conference this fall and expressed hope they would attend.Formal invitations haven't been issued yet but Rice said it would be natural for Syria, Saudi Arabia and 10 other Arab League members looking at a broad peace deal with Israel to participate despite their hostility to the Jewish state.It is very important that the regional players of the international community mobilize to support them, she said, referring to the Israelis and the Palestinians.But, she said their attendance would have to reflect acceptance of international efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and support for the ultimate goal of a two-state solution and comprehensive regional peace agreement.

We would hope that the invitations would include the members of the Arab follow-up committee, Rice told a news conference here after a meeting of the international diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East — the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia.Aside from the Palestinians and Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, the committee members are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.Only two of the countries, Egypt and Jordan, have peace deals with Israel and some, notably Syria, remain technically at war with the Jewish state. Earlier this month, Israel is alleged to have launched an airstrike on what some reports have said was a North Korean nuclear facility in Syria.The United States has long been concerned about Syrian development of weapons of mass destruction and has harshly criticized Syria for its consistent anti-Israel stance, support for Palestinian militants and its role in Lebanon where Damascus is accused of interference.

Rice did not speak to the appropriateness of inviting Syria to the as-yet unscheduled conference that Bush announced plans for in July and is expected to be held in Washington in November. She said that attendance has to be a commitment to supporting a two-state solution and agreement that the chance to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that we should not miss.The Palestinians want the conference to produce an outline for a peace deal; the Israelis want more vague declarations. - AP

7YR TREATY BY PROOF

GENESIS 2:2-3 GOD RESTED THE 7TH DAY
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

LEVITICUS 25:1-9 THE 7 YEAR SABBATICAL
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

God has always dealt with Israel in 7's, it just makes sense the last dealing with Israel and the World will be a 7 yr treaty. God rested from creation on the 7TH DAY. Every 7TH YEAR Israel is suppose to rest the land. And the 7X7=49 YRS and the jubilee is the 50TH YEAR.

Now the scriptures that a week in Israel history is 7YEARS.

Heres the scripture 1 week = 7 yrs Genesis 29:27-29
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Isn"t this interesting it comes from the same Person whos name was changed to Israel,(JACOB) and Israel and Jerusalem is the places dealt with in Daniel 9:24-27.

GENESIS 32:27-28
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

1 CHRONICLES 17:6-14
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

MATTHEW 24:32-35
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:(MAY 14,1948 ISRAEL BECOMES A NATION IN 1 DAY).
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

LUKE 21:24
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.(JERUSALEM IN JEWSH HANDS JUNE 6-10, 1967).

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (ISRAEL) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,(7X7=49 YRS) and threescore and two weeks:(62X7=434 YRS) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (69x7=483 YRS TO THIS POINT, THE FINAL 7 YR TREATY IS IN THE NEXT VERSE TO FULFILL THE 490 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY.
9:27 And he (THE FUTURE ROMAN PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3RD TEMPLE DESECRATED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.(WW3)

President Bush Meets with President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority The Waldorf Astoria New York, New York

In Focus: Peace in the Middle East - 4:46 P.M. EDT

PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. President, Prime Minister, members of the delegation, thank you for coming. I strongly support the creation of a Palestinian state. I believe it's in the interests of the Palestinian people, I believe it's in the interests of Israel to have a democracy living side-by -- democracies living side-by-side in peace. And the fundamental question that I ask is, is their leadership that share the vision and are willing to work hard to achieve the vision? And if the answer to that question is yes, the United States of America will be a strong partner in implementing the vision. I have known the President for quite a while. I am convinced that he is dedicated to the formation of a Palestinian democracy that will live in peace with their neighbor, Israel. And I believe the Prime Minister of Israel is dedicated to the same vision. And therefore, as I told the President, the United States of America will work as hard as we possibly can to help you achieve the vision, Mr. President.

Condi Rice has been very engaged; Secretary Rice has been very engaged in the region. When she speaks, she's speaking for me and my government. And I appreciate you taking time to explain to me the hurdles you see, the role you'd like to see the United States play, and your dedication to a cause that is just and important. I appreciate the fact that you're fighting the extremists who don't share the same kind of view. And I believe that the vision of two states, side-by-side in peace, is achievable. And we want to help you realize that goal.

So thank you for coming.

PRESIDENT ABBAS: (As translated.) Mr. President, thank you very much for receiving us here and for hosting us. And we appreciate that very much. I would like to take this opportunity to confer with you that we truly believe very strongly in the peace process, and we believe very strongly in your vision of establishing a Palestinian, independent, viable state that lives side-by-side with the state of Israel. Mr. President, these days we feel hopeful and we feel and we sense the hope, especially after the call to convene an international meeting during the month of November. We believe that this meeting should deal with the substance and issues of substance that would lead to full negotiations on the permanent status that would lead to a permanent peace and a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. And based on our belief of the seriousness of this call, both us and the Israelis have formed the teams that will work immediately in order to negotiate for the issues to be ready and right to take it one step further and be prepared and ready prior to the mid-November date for the convening of the meeting.

I also take this opportunity to reaffirm again that we strongly believe in the road map, which includes your vision, Mr. President, as well as the Arab initiative. Collectively, together, I believe they represent a strong framework that would allow us and help us to initiate the permanent status issues and reach an agreement on it. Therefore Mr. President, we will continue to count on your work, on your support, and your serious efforts. We have faith and trust in all of this, and believe that with the help of this, we'll be able to reach the just and durable peace in the Middle East.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you, sir.

Report: China could have world's largest navy by 2020
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow.com - September 25, 2007

A national defense analyst says that as the U.S. Navy continues to shrink, the communist Chinese are rapidly expanding their fleet -- possibly becoming the world's largest naval power by 2020.Cliff Kincaid, president of America's Survival, is saying it is no secret the Chinese have been using the billions of dollars they have obtained from the sale of cheap goods to the United States to build up their military. However, he says what is really frightening is the build-up of the Chinese navy, which could pose a major threat to U.S. security.

Some analysts say that the Chinese, by the year 2020, will be the largest maritime force [and] have the biggest navy on the face of the globe. This is what's facing us out there, says Kincaid. Our U.S. Navy leaders don't seem to recognize it -- or else they do and they have decided the approach should be to appease the Chinese.Kincaid says that in the meantime, the U.S. Navy continues to downsize. We are down now to only 276 Navy ships, from a high of 594 under President Reagan -- and we're scheduled to decline even further, down to 180 over the next 17 years, he laments.The analyst says that instead of moving to expand the size of the Navy, the Pentagon is pursuing a policy of depending upon the navies of other countries and treaties to protect American interests on the high seas.American Family News Network.

N.Korea denies Syria nuke link
Published: 25, 2007 at 7:21 AM

BEIJING, 25 (UPI) -- North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan Tuesday dismissed those who say his country has nuclear ties with Syria as lunatics, a report said.Speaking in Beijing, where he arrived for the six-party talks on his country’s denuclearization, Kim said, Lunatics have created these rumors about a nuclear deal between us and Syria, Yonhap news agency reported. Kim’s denial was a repetition of North Korea’s earlier denial that it is helping Syria with a secret atomic weapons program, the report said.The North Korean official is in China for four days of talks starting Thursday among the six nations involved in the North’s denuclearization. Other nations in the talks are South Korea, the United States, Russia, China and Japan.

Kim said if no agreement was reached during the talks, the entire process could stop, the report said.Denuclearization will continue if we reach (an) agreement on the steps we have achieved so far, Kim was quoted as saying. And this is a very important meeting where things will return to the starting point if no agreement is produced.North Korea has already shut down its main nuclear facility and the next step in the process involves disabling all of its nuclear facilities which have been surveyed by a team of international experts.

32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

DAY 1 TORAH SCRIPTURES

LEVITICUS 22:26-23:44 King James Bible
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 PROPHET SCRIPTURES

ZECHARIAH 14:1-21 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES.

ANYTIME DURING THE FESTIVAL

JOHN 7:1-53 King James Bible
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.

Tropical Storm Karen forms in Atlantic SEPT 25,07

MIAMI - A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Karen early Tuesday in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no immediate threat to land, and a new tropical depression formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. At 11 p.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,355 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph and was expected to continue this motion over the next 24 hours.Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from Karen's center. On its current course, it is expected to hit two troughs, though forecasters are unsure how they will affect Karen.

The 13th depression of the season formed Tuesday, but remained weak, forecasters said. A tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Gulf Coast of Mexico on Wednesday. At 11 p.m. the storm was located about 165 miles east southeast of Tampico, Mexico and moving toward the west near 5 mph with top sustained winds near 30 mph.It was expected to slowly gain strength during the next 24 hours.National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

Council of Europe to vote on creationism next week By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor Tue Sep 25, 12:48 PM ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's main human rights body will vote next week on a resolution opposing the teaching of creationist and intelligent design views in school science classes. The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly will debate a resolution saying attacks on the theory of evolution were rooted in forms of religious extremism and amounted to a dangerous assault on science and human rights.The resolution, on the agenda for October 4, says European schools should resist presentation of creationist ideas in any discipline other than religion. It describes the intelligent design argument as an updated version of creationism.
Anne Brasseur, an Assembly member from Luxembourg who updated an earlier draft resolution, said the vote was due in June but was postponed because some members felt the original text amounted to an attack on religious belief.

Only minor changes have been made to the initial draft.

There are different views of the creation of the world and we respect that, she told Reuters. The message we wanted to send was to avoid creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science. That's where the danger lies.The Council, based in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, oversees human rights standards in member states and enforces decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.If passed, the resolution would not be binding on its 47 member states but would reflect widespread opposition among politicians to teaching creationism in science class.

NATURAL SELECTION DROPPED

Creationism says God made the world in six days as depicted in the Bible. Intelligent design argues some life forms are too complex to have evolved according to Charles Darwin's theory and needed an unnamed higher intelligence to develop as they have.Some conservatives in the United States, both religious and secular, have long opposed the teaching of evolution in public schools but U.S. courts have regularly barred them from teaching what they describe as religious views of creation.Pressure to teach creationism is weaker in Europe, but has been mounting. An Assembly committee took up the issue because a shadowy Turkish Muslim publishing group has been sending an Islamic creationist book to schools in several countries.Supporters of intelligent design want it taught in science class alongside evolution. A U.S. court ruled this out in a landmark decision in 2005, dismissing it as neo-creationism.The aim of this report is not to question or to fight a belief, Brasseur wrote in a memorandum added to the new resolution. It is not a matter of opposing belief and science, but it is necessary to prevent belief from opposing science.She said the resolution also shortened references in the resolution to evolution by natural selection to evolution because some members had misunderstood the reference to natural selection to be an attack on their religious beliefs.

Leaders pledge restraint on gay bishops By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer SEPT 25,07

NEW ORLEANS - Episcopal leaders, pressured to roll back their support for gays to keep the world Anglican family from crumbling, affirmed Tuesday that they will exercise restraint in approving another gay bishop and will not authorize prayers to bless same-sex couples. The statement mostly reiterated earlier pledges by the church, and it will not be known for some time whether the bishops went far enough to help prevent an Anglican schism.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said she believed the document met the requests of Anglican leaders. But some Episcopal conservatives immediately rejected the statement as too weak, because it does not bar gays and lesbians from becoming bishops.

Bishops released the statement in the final hour of an intense six-day meeting and at a crucial moment in the decades-long Anglican debate over how the Bible should be interpreted.The 77-million-member world Anglican Communion has been splintering since 2003, when Episcopalians consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. The Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the U.S.Anglican leaders had set a Sunday deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop or approve an official prayer service for same-sex couples.Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, took the unusual step of attending the meeting for the first two days, pushing bishops to make concessions for the sake of unity. Anglican lay and clergy representatives from overseas also participated, scolding Episcopal leaders for the turmoil they've caused. Williams and other Anglican leaders will evaluate the statement in the coming weeks.Robinson said the talks with Williams and Anglican leaders were the two hardest days since my consecration. But he said thought the document was fair.I think people came here thinking this was going to be Katrina II, he said. And what in fact happened was a coming together of the bishops of the church.

However, Episcopal conservatives noted that many priests will still conduct same-gender blessing ceremonies, despite the lack of an official prayer. Critics also said the bishops aren't doing enough to provide alternative leadership for conservative dioceses.
This is a 'try to keep your foot in the door' maneuvering effort, said Canon Kendall Harmon, a leading conservative from the Diocese of South Carolina.Conservative Bishop John Howe of the Diocese of Central Florida said the statement wouldn't satisfy all the Anglican leaders. But Howe said most will find it acceptable.Howe is staying in the Episcopal Church, even though his diocese, based in Orlando, has rejected Jefferts Schori as a leader because she is liberal.In the document, the bishops reconfirmed a resolution passed last year by the Episcopal General Convention, urging bishops to exercise restraint by not consenting to a candidate for bishop whose manner of life presents a challenge the church and the communion.Episcopal leaders also demanded that overseas Anglican leaders stop coming into the U.S. to take oversight of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes. Anglican leaders from Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere have consecrated bishops to oversee congregations in the United States.

Four dioceses — Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.; and San Joaquin, Calif. — are taking steps to break away and align with an overseas Anglican church. And about 60 Episcopal parishes have left or have voted to leave the national church, according to the national church.The next crucial event for the communion will be the Lambeth Conference, in July in England. The once-a-decade meeting brings together all the bishops in the Anglican world.
Whether Williams can persuade bishops to attend will be a measure of the strength of the communion.Williams did not invite Robinson or a U.S.-based bishop, the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns, who leads a network of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes aligned with the Anglican Church of Nigeria. But some Anglican prelates don't want to be even at the same table as Episcopalians who consecrated Robinson. Separately, Robinson has been in private talks with the archbishop of Canterbury to find a way he can attend, as an observer perhaps, and bishops in New Orleans this week voted to support that effort.

Barak marks flawless 100 days at Israel's defence helm by Marius Schattner SEPT 25,07

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Efficient, secretive and sure of himself, former prime minister Ehud Barak has enjoyed a flawless 100 days back in government following a comeback to Israeli national politics, analysts say. Since reassuming the defence ministry portfolio on June 18 after winning the Labour party leadership, the ex-chief of staff has managed to restore Israelis' confidence in their armed forces, badly shaken after last year's inconclusive war in Lebanon, they say.In the three months that the 65-year-old has been in charge, the military has carried out several successful operations, including an air strike deep inside Syria reminiscent of some of Israel's most legendary operations.There is no doubt that Barak has returned a sentiment of security to the population with a series of successful operations, of which the last one in Syria has undoubtedly left its mark, political analyst Yaron Ezrahi told AFP.Having consolidated his leadership of the party, Barak is today in a good position to reclimb the ladder of power six years after withdrawing from public life following an election defeat in the wake of the failed Camp David summit with the Palestinians in 2000.

The professionalism of Israel's most decorated soldier contrasts sharply with the amateurism of his predecessor at defence, former trade union leader Amir Peretz who was roasted for his lack of leadership during last summer's 34-day war with the Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon.Israel has maintained an official silence over the reported September 6 raid on Syria, in which Damascus said its air defence fired at Israeli warplanes that had dropped munitions deep inside the country.But the Israeli press has still been filled with foreign media reports, most of which now say that Israel bombed a military site that contained nuclear material from North Korea -- a charge denied by both Damascus and Pyongyang.A recent article in London's Sunday Times said that commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit that Barak once headed had seized nuclear material at the site before bombing it, in a raid allegedly directed by Barak himself.As a soldier Barak took part in some of Israel's most legendary operations -- the 1972 Beirut raid against Palestinian militants in retaliation for the Munich Olympics massacre, storming a hijacked Sabena airliner at Tel Aviv in 1973 and the Entebbe hostage rescue in 1976.Barak's firm position in the security domain strengthens his popularity, Ezrahi said.

The general has also been successful in internal politics, managing to neutralise a potential threat posed by Ami Ayalon, his opponent for the Labour party leadership earlier this year, by bringing him into the government.Barak has masterly manipulated his rival Labourites, said historian and political analyst Ilan Greilsammer. Instead of dispatching with them he offered them a ministerial landing pad.Barak has also learned the lessons of his past defeats -- the failure of the Camp David peace talks in 2000, with the subsequent eruption of a major Palestinian uprising, and the election defeat to the right that followed.Back then he spoke too much, today he says nothing, said Greilsammer. He was branded as a leftist, today he is repositioning himself to the centre aiming to seduce the right-wing electorate.But the success of his first 100 days could paradoxically hurt the chances of the man once named Little Napoleon because of his arrogance returning to the pinnacle of power in Israel, according to analyst Daniel Bensimon.A good defence minister does not necessarily make a good prime minister, he said.Remaining silent over his plans is an excellent tactic for a commando chief, but not necessarily for a man who aims to lead the country.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Indonesia calls for dialogue between Palestinian factions Tue Sep 25, 7:09 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, on Tuesday urged rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to hold a dialogue to end their differences, saying a divided community cannot secure peace and justice in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East is crucial to long term global stability, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in an address to the UN General Assembly.But, he said, there could no be no peace in the Middle East unless there was justice, especially for the Palestinian people.And a divided Palestinian nation cannot secure justice, Yudhoyono said. Hamas and Fatah must therefore engage in dialogue and reconcile their agendas.The long-standing Palestinian issue became more complicated in June with the takeover of the Gaza Strip by the Western-shunned Hamas Islamists.

The bloody takeover sank the Palestinian unity cabinet and split the Palestinians into two entities, with Hamas ruling Gaza and the Western-backed moderate president Mahmud Abbas, who leads the secular Fatah faction, based in the West Bank.Abbas sacked the Hamas-led government in the wake of the takeover and has since repeatedly said he is steadfastly opposed to any dialogue with Hamas until it returns Gaza to his authority.Hamas has been shut out of a peace summit called by the United States in the fall.
Abbas, attending the UN meeting in New York, wants the summit to cover core issues such as the possible borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of the contested holy city of Jerusalem, and the fate of Palestinian migrants.Yudhoyono also said that a revived Arab initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian crisis must catalyze political change in the region.

That initiative, first launched in 2002, offers Israel peace and normal relations with all Arab states in return for its withdrawal from the territories it occupied in the 1967 war and a just settlement for Palestinian refugees.The Arab plan was revived this year with Saudi Arabia, which has no diplomatic ties with Israel, along with the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt comprising an Arab quartet set up to promote the initiative.

Iran leader says nuclear issue closed By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer SEPT 25,07

UNITED NATIONS - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore U.N. Security Council demands and sanctions imposed by arrogant powers to curb its nuclear program. Instead, he told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that Iran has decided to pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program through its appropriate legal path, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.When Ahmadinejad was ushered to the podium, the U.S. delegation walked out, leaving only a low-ranking note-taker to listen to his speech, which indirectly accused the United States and Israel of major human rights violations. State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said the U.S. wanted to send him a powerful message.The Iranian president spoke shortly before German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned the diplomats of disastrous consequences for Israel and the world if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb. The world does not have to prove to Iran that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Iran has to convince the world that it is not striving towards such a bomb.

Hours earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the assembly that allowing Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons would be an unacceptable risk. There will not be peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of the proliferation of nuclear arms, Sarkozy said. The Iranian crisis will only be resolved if firmness and dialogue go hand-in-hand.Iran insists the program is purely peaceful, aimed solely at using nuclear reactors to generate electricity. But the United States and key European nations believe the program is a cover for an Iranian attempt to produce nuclear weapons.Ahmadinejad has defied two Security Council resolutions demanding Iran suspend enrichment and imposing escalating sanctions on key figures and organizations involved in the nuclear program. He made clear in his speech that Iran did not intend to comply with them now.In the last two years, abusing the Security Council, the arrogant powers have repeatedly accused Iran and even made military threats and imposed illegal sanctions against it, he said.Previously, they illegally insisted on politicizing the Iranian nation's nuclear case, but today, because of the resistance of the Iranian nation, the issue is back to the agency, and I officially announce that in our opinion the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and has turned into an ordinary agency matter, Ahmadinejad said.Iran has decided to pursue the issue through its appropriate legal path ... and to disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant powers, he said.IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian officials agreed in July that Tehran would answer questions from agency experts by December on more than two decades of nuclear activity — most of it secret until revealed over four years ago.

This week, IAEA technical officials returned to Tehran to to start probing outstanding questions, some with possible weapons applications. But while Iran is allowing the IAEA to inspect its known nuclear facilities, it no longer allows inspectors freedom to look elsewhere for suspicious activities on short notice as it once did.The U.S. initially opposed the plan, fearing it could draw attention away from Iran's defiance of the Security Council demand for a halt to Iranian uranium enrichment. It later endorsed the plan while emphasizing that must obey the council.A third Security Council resolution, with tougher sanctions, is being discussed. President Bush has refused to take military action off the table if Iran does not comply.Speaking to reporters later, Ahmadinejad attempted to clarify Tehran's stance.It's closed as a political issue, he said, stressing that it is a legal issue and therefore should have been examined solely within the framework of the IAEA.However, certain big powers ... have made every effort to turn a simple legal issue into a very loud, controversial, political issue, he said.All our efforts, most certainly, will be geared towards preventing sanctions, but you must know that the activities of the Security Council regarding Iran's nuclear issue are completely illegal, Ahmadinejad said. Iran was not without allies. Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega angrily chastised the U.S. for seeking to stop other countries from enriching uranium, which is allowed under the Nonproliferation Treaty.

Ortega said the United States, as the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on innocent people, had no right to question the right of Iran and North Korea to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.Earlier in the assembly's opening session, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pledged to push for lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region in the coming year, calling it one of the most challenging in the U.N.'s history. Bush spoke next and announced new sanctions against Myanmar's military dictatorship, accusing it of imposing a 19-year reign of fear that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship. But Bush barely mentioned Iran, a nation he also accuses of helping insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq. Amadinejad, whose speech at Columbia University on Monday provoked protests, was in the General Assembly chamber for Bush's speech. A U.N. diplomat in the chamber said the Iranian president listened to the secretary-general but pulled out his earpiece before Bush started to speak.
Asked about the protests and tough questions he faced at Columbia, Ahmadinejad told a press conference late Tuesday that he didn't find it to be difficult. I speak of my opinions and say what I need to say and others speak of theirs. After all, we are patient enough to listen to what even groups that are hostile to us say.

In his General Assembly speech, the Iranian leader lashed out at certain powers — an apparent reference to the United States and Israel — that violate human rights by setting up secret prisons, abducting people, holding trials and enacting secret punishments without any regard to due process, tapping phone conversations and intercepting people's private mail. They use various pretexts to occupy sovereign states and cause insecurity and division, and then use the prevailing situation as an excuse to continue their occupation, the Iranian president said. He then described how the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples have suffered under occupying forces. Referring to the U.S. government's policy on Iraq, he said: They even oppose the constitution, National Assembly and the government established by the vote of the people, while they do not even have the courage to declare their defeat and exit Iraq.In their view, human rights are tantamount to profits for their companies and friends. The rights and dignity of American people are also being sacrificed for the selfish desires of those holding power, he told the assembly.

Ahmadinejad, asked whether Iran recognized Israel as a state or believed it should be destroyed, said: We believe the Zionist regime is a usurpitive, illegal, occupational entity regime and the solution we have is that the Palestinian nation have self-determination, a free referendum.Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Ahmadinejad should not have been invited to address the General Assembly. Ahmadinejad is expanding a fanatic doctrine of genocide. He is developing nuclear weapons to achieve it, he said.Associated Press writers George Jahn in Vienna, Austria, Sarah DiLorenzo in New York, and Justin Bergman at the United Nations contributed to this report.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

HERE KADIMA READ THESE ABOVE SCRIPTURES YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED.

No one in Kadima is asking if J'lem will be divided, just how
By Nadav Shragai SEPT 24,07

Serious differences of opinion have erupted in Kadima over the possibility that the agreement of principles Israel is now negotiating with the Palestinians will determine the final-status deal on Jerusalem. Seven years after the Camp David summit in 2000 and the cabinet's subsequent decision to adopt, with reservations, then U.S. president Bill Clinton's plan to divide the capital, no one in Kadima is asking if Jerusalem will be redivided. The only question is how it will be redivided. Vice Premier Haim Ramon is promoting a plan to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad in which almost all Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would be subtracted from the Israeli city and become part of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. The areas inhabited by Jews, including the new neighborhoods south, north and east of the Green Line that divided the city until 1967, will remain under Israel's jurisdiction. The plan would also divide the Old City between Israeli and Palestinian sovereignty, with the Muslim and Christian Quarters under Palestinian rule, and the Armenian and Jewish Quarters under Israeli rule. Sovereignty over the Temple Mount would be divided between Palestinians and Jews as well.

Ramon proposes handing over three neighborhoods soon after the agreement of principles is signed, if Israel is convinced that the Palestinian Authority can control them: Shuafat, in northern Jerusalem, near Pisgat Ze'ev and Atarot; Suahra, on the edge of the Judean desert; and Wallijeh, a village near the Massuah neighborhood overlooking the railway to Tel Aviv. In recent weeks, however, a counter-coalition inside Kadima has sprung up, headed by MK Otniel Schneller. Schneller is unwilling to give up Israeli sovereignty over the Old City and the Temple Mount, but will accept religious management of the holy sites. He is also willing to give up neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city - mostly to the north, such as Al-Ram, Qalandiyah and Kafr Akeb (most of which are already outside the separation fence) - as well as parts of a few other neighborhoods. However, Schneller stays away from calling his plan division. He will not accept any substantial concession on the Temple Mount and demands that in the final Jerusalem arrangement, space be allocated on the Temple Mount for Jewish prayer - a demand former prime minister Ehud Barak raised at Camp David in 2000. Schneller believes that decisions about the future of Jerusalem should be made by representatives of the entire Jewish people, not just the Israeli public. He also believes that if the Ramon plan is adopted, Kadima will disintegrate, as many parliamentarians will be unable to support it. Kadima's mayoral candidate in the capital, businessman Nir Barkat, has already said that he is considering leaving the party due to the Ramon plan. Barkat wrote to Ramon this week saying that he had not been authorized by either the government or the party to propose plans on Jerusalem, and that Jerusalem and the rest of the country are entitled to know if this is the new Kadima position, and whether Ramon is acting on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's authority.

That, in a nutshell, is the key question: What does Olmert think? Back when he was mayor of Jerusalem, Olmert rejected any proposal for division - of the Temple Mount, the Old City or East Jerusalem as a whole. But Olmert is remaining mum, and his associates say that Ramon has permission but not authority. Many politicians believe this obscurantist formula means that Olmert is using Ramon's plan as a trial balloon. If it does not explode, Olmert is likely to adopt large sections of the plan. The battle inside Kadima over whether Jerusalem will be divided has already been decided. The question now is how - and also whether the party, as Ramon has, will call the spade a spade: division.

Russian communists say Putin more powerful than Tsar By Dmitry Zhdannikov
Sat Sep 22, 4:09 PM ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The leader of Russia's Communist Party accused President Vladimir Putin on Saturday of piling up vast powers and said the Kremlin's main party represented billionaires rather than ordinary people. He (President Vladimir Putin) has more power today than the Pharaoh of Egypt, the Tsar, and the Soviet Union's General Secretary combined, veteran Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told a party congress on the outskirts of Moscow.He has four times more power than the quite powerful president of the United States, said Zyuganov, whose party is the country's number two political force with 162,000 members.Zyuganov said his party, the successor to the all-powerful Soviet Communists, hoped to win at least a fifth of seats in elections this December for the State Duma (lower house of parliament). It currently has just over 10 percent of deputies.The Duma is dominated by United Russia, a party patronized by Putin, which enjoys a two-thirds majority.

Zyuganov said he was the only real opponent of the Kremlin and added he was gaining new supporters as voters were getting bored with unfulfilled promises from United Russia, which he said represented the rich, with over 30 billionaires among its Duma members.They (United Russia) have billionaires. We have millions (of supporters) behind us, he added.The December elections will be closely watched as a dress rehearsal for a presidential vote next March.The most recent poll by the independent Yuri Levada Centre showed this week that the Communists could gain 18 percent of seats in December, while United Russia would secure 55 percent.Another pro-Kremlin party, Fair Russia, would get seven percent and the nationalist LDPR, which often votes with the government, would gain 11 percent.The Communists used to dominate the Duma in the 1990s during the turbulent years of Boris Yeltsin's presidency.But as Russia's oil-fuelled economy booms, the Communists face a tough political challenge to win back popularity.The Communists have complained they are not getting a fair share of airtime on television, which is dominated by pro-Kremlin parties. However Putin met Zyuganov this week to discuss the elections and Zyuganov's Saturday speech was aired live on the state television channel Vesti-24.

MOOD LIFTED BY WINS

Zyuganov said the mood in the Communists' camp had been lifted by wins this year in regional elections, which he said had shown that the dominance of United Russia can be broken.In (the east Siberian region of) Krasnoyarsk, where the results usually coincide with the whole country, we had 20-22 percent. And in some regions we had over 30 percent. Let's be guided by these figures..., he told delegates.He also denounced analysts' observations that his electorate was shrinking as it was mostly composed of elderly people.The most educated part of our society is voting today for the Communists. And young people are turning up every day, he said, adding that his goal was to win the undecided votes. On Saturday, Zyuganov again denounced what he termed a black propaganda campaign to discredit himself by falsely accusing him of excessive drinking and paying a huge bill for an adult pay TV channel while on holiday in Ukraine. Zyuganov did not run for president in 2004 when Putin was re-elected by more than 70 percent of votes. The outspoken Communist did not say if he would run for president in March 2008, when Putin must step down after two consecutive terms. Putin, who has huge influence over voters because of his very high poll ratings, has yet to say whom he will back.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

EU should think about buying US dollars says German economic advisor Bofinger 23-September-2007 15:49:10

FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - The European Union should consider buying large amounts of US dollars in an effort to prop up the currency and limit negative effects of strong euro on growth rates and job losses, said Peter Bofinger, a member of the German government's five wise men panel of economic advisors. Bofinger told Spiegel magazine that while the European Central Bank is traditionally against intervention to influence exchange rates and is almost solely interested in inflation rates, the full independence (of the ECB) is only binding for interest rate decisions. According to EU regulations, the advisors to the ECB could target a general orientation for foreign currency rates as long as it does not interfere with the central bank's overriding goal of price stability, the magazine said. The exchange rate is not some natural phenomenon that we must look on with rigid horror, without acting, Bofinger said.

On Friday, the dollar slumped to a fresh all-time low against the euro, sending the single currency above 1.41 usd briefly. The dollar has been under pressure ever since the Fed delivered a a hefty half point rate reduction on Tuesday, taking the base rate to 4.75 pct. Speculation that oil-rich Saudi Arabia may remove the riyal's peg to the dollar has also weighed on the US currency. Tyler.Sitte@thomson.com

Shalom dear Intercessors SEPT 25,07

Numbers 10:9 - When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the shofars. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.

Israel has entered into this years Fall Feast season, (Yom Ha Truah / Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement, Succot / Feast of Tabernacles) a time of reflection, repentance and rejoicing. However we have also entered into a solemn time of pending war with our surrounding enemies. Also we still have a corrupt and godless Government that continues to grow weaker and is drowning under the spell and control of the USA, as they pressure and manipulate the leaders of our Government to give back land, to declare and implement a Palestinian State. They also plan to give back at least half of Jerusalem, evacuate 250,000 Jews from their West Bank homes in the very close future (November is the set date), and to allow 3 million Arabs to enter into Israel .

The God of Israel has always called upon one man and a remnant of people to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. In the days of old, He called upon Moses, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Ezra and many others to intercede for His people and His nation, Israel. If we read the history in the Tenach, we see that God heard and answered those intercessors as they stood in the gap and pleaded before the God of Israel to deliver, save, and redeem Israel from her enemies. We, Intercessors for the Restoration of Israel, and thousands of other intercessors in Israel and around the world, are the God of Israel's intercessors for today. And today for Israel, it is as crucial as it was in the time of Moses, as he stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go, the ocean before him and the enemies of Israel banking up behind him. It is a time for Israel to stand firm on the promises of God and to look to no one else but Him to deliver us.

Moses looked up, prayed, held up his sceptor and a miracle happened - we all know the story.

We have our sceptor for today, the Word of the Lord. As we look up to our God, I want to ask all of you that are on our intercessory prayer team, to please come before the God of Israel daily. Below are two news articles to give you some facts on the ground. Following the news items are some scriptures to proclaim, decree, pronounce, and bring before the Lord. Also some suggested prayer guidelines,
along with of course whatever else the Holy Spirit gives you. Please take the time to read these articles, as it is imperative that we know what is going on in the natural in order to pray effectively

Our intercessions can avert the plans of man and change the hearts of kings (Prime Ministers, Presidents, those in leadership) - All thru the Tenach, it shows us how the God of Israel changed the hearts of the leaders of Israel's enemies at that time to suit His plans and purposes for Israel and to deal with Israel's enemies. - e.g. Pharoah, Cyrus King of Persia, the enemies in Joshua's day, Sennacherib the Philistines, Goliath, and many others. The God of Israel had their hearts in His hand and He changed them as He desired.

Olmert: Declaration of Intent, not Principles

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert now says that he is no longer working to formulate an agreement of principles with Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. Instead, he hopes to have a joint declaration of intentions ready in time for the international Middle East summit two months from now. The weekly Makor Rishon newspaper reported ten days ago that Olmert was working on a new approach - one that would obligate Israel even if the summit itself - sponsored and promoted by the United States - does not produce an agreement. Olmert was striving to reach a document of principles on which he and Abu Mazen would agree to use as the basis for their future negotiations. Such principles, Makor Rishon reported, included the following:
the division of Jerusalem into Jewish and Arab cities, and the removal of Israel's sovereignty from the Temple Mount. (As Mayor of Jerusalem in the 1990s, Olmert earned much political capital when he accused his political rival, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, of wanting to divide Jerusalem.)

the establishment of a Palestinian state on approximately 95% of Judea and Samaria
border changes - i.e., a hand-over of other Israeli territory to make up for three settlement blocs (Ariel, Maaleh Adumim, Gush Etzion) that is to remain in Israeli hands.

Israel's declarative assumption of responsibility for the formation of the Arab refugee problem of 1948, though without operative ramifications Makor Rishon reported that it was unclear whether the PA had agreed to Israel's cardinal demand that the agreement would represent the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Another version of the above was published by the PA's Maan news agency last week, and included the clause that the evacuation of Judea and Samaria would begin immediately after the summit - just two months from now. However, this version was denied by both Israel and the PA.

Olmert has said that he will bring any agreement he reaches with Abbas to the government for its approval, and that the Knesset can ask to debate the issue as well. He did not say whether Knesset approval would be necessary. On the other hand, it is known that Olmert worked to keep the negotiations as secret as possible, hoping to avoid any public discourse and debate. For this reason, no rough copies or interim documents were formulated.

Pray that what our enemies have prepared for Israel, will return back on their own heads.

Pray that whatever happens here in the land of Israel, He will use it for His plans and purposes to work in the lives of His people, to turn to Him to bring repentance, and call upon Him

Please also remember to pray daily for our IDF - including our son Jordan and his best friend Avi, who are both in combat units. Most of the IDF have been doing full scale simulation war drills over the last few months in preparedness for war and are all on high alert in northern Israel, but also in the West Bank area.

Pray that the Lord will reveal to our IDF intelligence any enemy plans - Pray that our IDF leaders will be given great wisdom and strategy, pray for success in ALL missions - air and ground.

Thank you all and bless you all and may the Lord strengthen you as you commit to faithfully offer up daily your intercessions to our Father in Heaven, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Elohei Israel (the God of Israel).

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will March on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David

The Faithful will make their pilgrimage of Sukkot and demonstrate against the evil anti-godly plans of the weak Prime Minister of Israel and the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to divide the land of Israel, to found a “Palestinian” terror state and to make the Biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as a “Palestinian” capitol

This is a revolt and evil in the eyes of the G–d of Israel and He will never allow it

Everyone is called to take part in this very important event at a very critical time

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will march on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David. At 8:30 a.m. we shall march up to the Temple Mount to make the pilgrimage of this feast as G-d commanded us in His word. After 1,937 years of destruction the children of Israel will pilgrimage again to the holy hill of G-d in Jerusalem with a deep prayer in their hearts to make this pilgrimage next year in the rebuilt Temple of G-d. At 9:30 we shall march to the Hulda Gates located on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount, calling the Israeli Government to immediately open these holy gates which were the main entrance of millions of Israelis in the biblical times and were named for the great prophetess Hulda who prophesied in the First Temple age. In this holy place we shall also demonstrate against the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to give away the Temple Mount and the sovereignty of Israel in this most holy place of Israel to the so called “Palestinian Authorities” and to put on the Dome of the Rock, the location of the Holy of Holies of the Temple, a “Palestinian “ flag. As it looks the weak Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, is going to surrender to this pressure. These terrible evil plans also include the division of Jerusalem , the eternal capitol of Israel and to found a “Palestinian” capitol in the biblical Jerusalem , the City of David, that will be the capitol of a “Palestinian” state that they together plan to found in the most biblical areas of the land of Israel, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

These anti-godly evil plans are a terrible revolt against G-d who gave the land of Israel to His chosen people Israel for a purpose and to be the land where He Himself will dwell among His people Israel. He chose Jerusalem to be His capitol and the eternal capitol of His people Israel . Thousands of years ago He chose and anointed Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, to be His holy hill where His people Israel will build for Him the holy Temple where He will dwell among His people exactly as He commanded them: “Build me a Temple and I will dwell among you” (Exodus 25:8). On this holy hill existed the First Temple of G-d, built by King Solomon 3,000 years ago that was destroyed by the Babylonians in the year 586 BCE and the Second Temple built in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE. Now the G–d of Israel is expecting and calling His people Israel to immediately build the Third Temple so that He can again dwell among His people Israel and among all His creation, as the prophet Isaiah prophesied: “My house will be a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 2: 1-5 and Isaiah 56: 5&7).

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will demonstrate mainly against the Prime Minister of Israel and his anti-godly and anti-Israeli plans. It never before happened that an Israeli leader will give away the Temple Mount, the biblical Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel to foreigners and enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel like the evil cruel so called “Palestinians” that invaded the land of Israel and are for more than 100 years making wars against the people of G-d with one intention and goal: To make it another Islamic country and state. It is a shame and a tragedy which never happened in the 4,000 year history of the people of G-d. And I am aware of the judgement of G-d that will come on all the partners of these evil plans and their nations. Tens of millions of Jews gave their lives to protect the Temple Mount of G-d, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel or when they fought to liberate these holy places from foreign evil control. The G–d and the people of Israel will not allow it now to happen especially after the G–d of Israel regathered His people back to the land of Israel from all the corners of the world, reestablished for them the Kingdom of Israel and His Kingdom in the holy land, made Jerusalem again the eternal capitol of Himself and Israel and in 1967 returned the biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount to Israel to immediately rebuild His holy Temple. All these end-time godly events were a part of G-d’s plan to redeem Israel and through Israel to redeem all the world. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement will very clearly state and swear in front of the holy hill of G-d that they will give their lives to avoid this evil and criminal plans. We shall swear like our forefathers: “If I will forget you Jerusalem I will forget my right hand...” and that the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel will never fall again and that from here we shall never move and again be taken from.

After the demonstration in front of the Hulda Gates of the Temple Mount we shall march with the Israeli flags with the Star of David to the ancient City of David calling the people of Israel not to allow Olmert to divide Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel and to bring to pass this terrible crime of giving away the Temple Mount, the heart and the soul of Israel, to the most cruel enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel. At the end of this march we shall arrive at the ancient Siloam Pool that was just recently discovered where we shall make the traditional ceremony of the “Beit Shoevah Celebration” and “Nisuch HaMay’im” ceremony, exactly as our forefathers did when the Temple existed. They used to pull the water with prayers for a blessed year with rains and to pour the holy water on the alter in the Temple together with exciting thank prayers to the G–d of Israel for the blessings that He poured on His people Israel and the land that He gave them.

This is going to be a major godly and important event which will bring to the attention of everyone the godly significance of this special time that we are experiencing now and expectations of the G–d of Israel from His people to keep and protect the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the holy land that He gave them from any dangerous evil plans. We are going on Sukkot to the Temple Mount and the City of David to protect the heart and the soul of te G-d and the people Israel and all the world and to save the holy location of the Temple from evil pagan hands. We are going to call the people of Israel and her friends all over the world to remove the enemy from the holy Temple Mount of G-d and to immediately rebuild the Temple as G-d is calling us to do.

Everyone is called to participate in this major event of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and to be a part of a major historical event that will be an important stage and step towards the rebuilding of the Temple and the completion of G-d’s end-time plans. We are calling everyone to stand with the Faithful Movement and to help her to bring to pass all the end-time plans of the G–d of Israel in our lifetime.

May the G-d of Israel bless you and all our friends with a new blessed year to you and to your families. May G-d make the coming year the year of the rebuilding of His Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David.

With deep appreciation and love to all of you,

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)

Subtropical storm forms in open Atlantic Sun Sep 23, 5:04 PM ET

MIAMI - Subtropical Storm Jerry formed Sunday in the Atlantic Ocean but posed no immediate threat to land, the National Hurricane Center said. As of 5 p.m., Jerry was located about 1,060 miles west of the Azores, with top sustained winds near 40 mph.Forecasters said the storm was moving north around 6 mph and is expected to remain over open waters, far west of the Azores.Subtropical storms are hybrid systems that get energy from warm waters like tropical ones, but also from colliding warm and cold air masses like more common storms over land.Jerry is the 10th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. Its winds extended outward about 105 miles.

In the Pacific, Ivo was downgraded from a tropical storm to a depression early Sunday, the Hurricane Center said.At 2 p.m. EDT, the center of Ivo was about 95 miles southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and moving east-northeast at 4 mph.The depression — which had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph — is expected to pass over or near the southern tip of Baja near the resort cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, a region that was hit early this month by Hurricane Henriette. Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is forecast for the area.

Rising seas likely to flood U.S. history By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Sun Sep 23, 6:39 PM ET

Ultimately, rising seas will likely swamp the first American settlement in Jamestown, Va., as well as the Florida launch pad that sent the first American into orbit, many climate scientists are predicting. In about a century, some of the places that make America what it is may be slowly erased.Global warming — through a combination of melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warmer waters expanding — is expected to cause oceans to rise by one meter, or about 39 inches. It will happen regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases, several leading scientists say. And it will reshape the nation.Rising waters will lap at the foundations of old money Wall Street and the new money towers of Silicon Valley. They will swamp the locations of big city airports and major interstate highways.

Storm surges worsened by sea level rise will flood the waterfront getaways of rich politicians — the Bushes' Kennebunkport and John Edwards' place on the Outer Banks. And gone will be many of the beaches in Texas and Florida favored by budget-conscious students on Spring Break.That's the troubling outlook projected by coastal maps reviewed by The Associated Press. The maps, created by scientists at the University of Arizona, are based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey.Few of the more than two dozen climate experts interviewed disagree with the one-meter projection. Some believe it could happen in 50 years, others say 100, and still others say 150.Sea level rise is the thing that I'm most concerned about as a scientist, says Benjamin Santer, a climate physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.We're going to get a meter and there's nothing we can do about it, said University of Victoria climatologist Andrew Weaver, a lead author of the February report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in Paris. It's going to happen no matter what — the question is when.

Sea level rise has consequences about where people live and what they care about, said Donald Boesch, a University of Maryland scientist who has studied the issue. We're going to be into this big national debate about what we protect and at what cost.This week, beginning with a meeting at the United Nations on Monday, world leaders will convene to talk about fighting global warming. At week's end, leaders will gather in Washington with President Bush.Experts say that protecting America's coastlines would run well into the billions and not all spots could be saved.And it's not just a rising ocean that is the problem. With it comes an even greater danger of storm surge, from hurricanes, winter storms and regular coastal storms, Boesch said. Sea level rise means higher and more frequent flooding from these extreme events, he said.All told, one meter of sea level rise in just the lower 48 states would put about 25,000 square miles under water, according to Jonathan Overpeck, director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth at the University of Arizona. That's an area the size of West Virginia.

The amount of lost land is even greater when Hawaii and Alaska are included, Overpeck said.

The Environmental Protection Agency's calculation projects a land loss of about 22,000 square miles. The EPA, which studied only the Eastern and Gulf coasts, found that Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina would lose the most land. But even inland areas like Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia also have slivers of at-risk land, according to the EPA.This past summer's flooding of subways in New York could become far more regular, even an everyday occurrence, with the projected sea rise, other scientists said. And New Orleans' Katrina experience and the daily loss of Louisiana wetlands — which serve as a barrier that weakens hurricanes — are previews of what's to come there.Florida faces a serious public health risk from rising salt water tainting drinking water wells, said Joel Scheraga, the EPA's director of global change research. And the farm-rich San Joaquin Delta in California faces serious salt water flooding problems, other experts said. Sea level rise is going to have more general impact to the population and the infrastructure than almost anything else that I can think of, said S. Jeffress Williams, a U.S. Geological Survey coastal geologist in Woods Hole, Mass.

Even John Christy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a scientist often quoted by global warming skeptics, said he figures the seas will rise at least 16 inches by the end of the century. But he tells people to prepare for a rise of about three feet just in case. Williams says it's not unreasonable at all to expect that much in 100 years. We've had a third of a meter in the last century.The change will be a gradual process, one that is so slow it will be easy to ignore for a while. It's like sticking your finger in a pot of water on a burner and you turn the heat on, Williams said. You kind of get used to it.

SPAIN #11 IN THE EU

DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast(THE EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TR BLOCKS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Brussels raps Spain over Endesa SEPT 22,07

Spain has 30 days to respond to the allegations regarding Endesa

Spain broke EU law by imposing terms on the purchase of energy company Endesa by peers Enel of Italy and Spain's Acciona, the European Commission says. In a preliminary finding Brussels said it believed Madrid broke takeover laws when it imposed protectionist terms. Spain's energy commission had wanted to intervene if it believed the new owners of the firm were not acting in the best interests of Spanish energy users. The Commission approved the 42.5bn euro ($60bn; £30bn) deal on 5 July.

It also said it had sole jurisdiction over the deal.

But Spain's National Energy Commission had imposed conditions on 26 April and 4 July, breaching the buyers' rights. The European Commission said its preliminary view was the Spanish energy commission, CNE, violated the companies' rights to invest, set up a business and move goods anywhere in the 27-state community. Spain has 30 days to defend itself before the EU takes a final decision that would overrule Spanish decisions. Enel's deal with Acciona for Endesa expires on 1 October. A rival bid by German firm E.On collapsed in April.

2 PETER 3:10-11
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE USED.

ISAIAH 66:15-18
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(FROM FRIGHT)
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

ISAIAH 24:17-23 KJV
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

Iran shows off new missile, taunts Israel by Stuart Williams
Sat Sep 22, 8:06 AM ET

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran on Saturday showed off a longer-range missile in public for the first time and proclaimed a string of anti-Israel slogans, in a military parade held amid warnings of conflict with the West. The missile -- labelled Ghadr-1 (Power) -- was said to be in development by Western experts, but its appearance at the annual military parade to mark the start of Iran's 1980-1988 war with Iraq was its first public showing.The official announcer at the parade told reporters that the weapon had a range of 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles), sufficient to put US bases in the Middle East and Iran's arch enemy Israel within reach.The Iranian nation is ready to bring any oppressive power to its knees, read a slogan from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei inscribed on a massive board on a truck.

The head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Jaafari, warned bluntly: My message to the enemy is that they will regret it (an attack). Do not do it.The Ghadr missile, which has a baby bottle style nose for extra aerodynamic efficiency, is seen as an improved version of Iran's existing longer-range Shahab series, which was also paraded.Officials have said in the past that the Shahab-3 could reach 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles), but the announcer said it had a 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) range.The parade was marked by a litany of slogans calling for Death to America and Death to Israel. Western military attaches, apparently warned of this in advance, boycotted the rally for the second year running.The Western attaches did not come. It was because of the slogans about Israel and the United States, said one foreign representative who declined to be named.Israel should be eliminated and No Iranian Muslim, no Muslim recognises Israel, were among the slogans borne on the back of military vehicles, quoting the words of Iran's revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.Israel has to be wiped off the map, read another Khomeini quote which aroused worldwide controversy when it was repeated by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.The parade came amid growing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme, which the United States alleges is cover for a nuclear weapons drive but which Tehran insists is aimed solely at producing electricity.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has warned that the world should brace for war against Tehran if it keeps defying the UN Security Council by pressing on with sensitive nuclear work.

Iran's military, especially its air force, has been hit by the US trade embargo, and General Jaafari admitted that the Islamic republic would need to outsmart its enemies using means other than technology.Their material capabilities are better than us, everyone knows it and we admit it. We are responding to technology not with technology but with special methods and tactics, he told reporters.Officials said that only weapons built by Iran were shown at the parade, in a bid to emphasise the country's self-sufficiency in military technology.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meanwhile said in a speech that warnings of military action and further UN sanctions would have no effect on Tehran's nuclear drive.Those who think that with outmoded instruments like psychological warfare and economic sanctions they can stop Iran's march towards progress are making a grave mistake, Ahmadinejad said. The full panoply of Iran's armed forces were on display, with thousands of goose-stepping members of the regular army and the Revolutionary Guards saluting Ahmadinejad and top military leaders in a march-past. The United States and its ally Israel have never ruled out using military action against Iran for its defiance in the nuclear standoff. Iran has said it will never initiate an attack, but has warned of striking US bases in the Arabian peninsula, Iraq and Afghanistan -- as well as Israel itself -- as a response to any aggression.

Iran warns West against attack By Hossein Jaseb and Fredrik Dahl
Sat Sep 22, 8:49 AM ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran told Western powers on Saturday they would regret any attack over Tehran's nuclear activities and it rolled out a display of missiles and other military hardware to back the warning. Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said, speaking to reporters less than a week after France's foreign minister publicly raised the prospect of war.They will regret it, as they are regretting it in Iraq, the commander added, speaking on the sidelines of an annual military parade just outside the capital.The Islamic Republic put on show medium-range missiles it has said could reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf at the parade marking the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.Three Saegheh jet fighters, a new generation of domestically produced, flew overhead.Iran is embroiled in a standoff with the West over its atomic ambition, which the United States says is to make bombs but which Tehran says is solely for generating electricity.Washington has said it wants a diplomatic resolution to the dispute but has not ruled out military action if that fails.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner last Sunday raised the specter of war, but has since backed away from the comment.Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, has threatened to hit back at regional U.S. interests if attacked.

U.N. SANCTIONS

Jafari's words of defiance came a day after major powers, meeting in Washington, said they had serious and constructive talks about new U.N. Security Council sanctions aimed at trying to force Iran to halt its sensitive nuclear program.The officials of the five permanent Security Council members and Germany said they will keep pursuing a dual track approach to Iran -- trying to persuade it to abandon such activities via negotiations while considering new sanctions.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressing the parade, made clear Tehran would not bow to Western pressure.Those who think, that by using such decayed tools as psychological warfare and economic sanctions, they can stop the Iranian nation's progress are making a mistake, he said.The Islamic Republic showed among its weaponry a type of missile it has said could reach 2,000 km (1,250 miles) -- enabling it to hit Israel and U.S. bases in the region.But the television commentator said Shahab-3 had a range of 1,300 km (812 miles). Another missile at the parade, Ghadr-1, can reach targets 1,800 km (1,125 miles) away, he said. It was believed to be the first time it has been shown publicly.Troops, tanks and anti-aircraft guns passed in front of the podium. One truck carried the words Death to America.Parachutists dropped from a helicopter over the parade area near the tomb of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the inspiration of the 1979 Islamic revolution and founder of the Islamic Republic.
Asked how Iran would respond if any country allowed its territory to be used as a base for an attack, Jafari said: You have seen the missiles -- just pull the trigger and shoot.

U.S. says Iran sending missiles to Iraq By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer SEPT 23,07

BAGHDAD - The U.S. military accused Iran on Sunday of smuggling surface-to-air missiles and other advanced weapons into Iraq for use against American troops. The new allegations came as Iraqi leaders condemned the latest U.S. detention of an Iranian in northern Iraq, saying the man was in their country on official business.
Military spokesman Rear Adm. Mark Fox said U.S. troops were continuing to find Iranian-supplied weaponry including the Misagh 1, a portable surface-to-air missile that uses an infrared guidance system.Other advanced Iranian weaponry found in Iraq includes the RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenade, 240 mm rockets and armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, Fox said.An American soldier was killed Saturday and another wounded when an EFP hit their patrol in eastern Baghdad, the military said.Iran has denied U.S. allegations that it is smuggling weapons to Shiite militias in Iraq, a denial that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes aired Sunday.

We don't need to do that. We are very much opposed to war and insecurity, said Ahmadinejad, who arrived in New York Sunday to attend the U.N. General Assembly. The insecurity in Iraq is detrimental to our interests.Tensions between Iran and the United States have worried Iraqi officials — many of whom are members of political parties with close ties to Tehran.A 240 mm rocket was fired this month at the main U.S. headquarters base in Iraq, killing one person and wounding 11.U.S. officials said the rocket was fired from a west Baghdad neighborhood controlled by Shiite militiamen.On Thursday, U.S. troops arrested an Iranian in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah. U.S. officials said he was a member of the elite Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards that smuggles weapons into Iraq.Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned the Iranian's arrest, saying he understood the man, who has been identified as Mahmudi Farhadi, had been invited to Iraq.The government of Iraq is an elected one and sovereign. When it gives a visa, it is responsible for the visa, he told The Associated Press in an interview in New York. We consider the arrest ... of this individual who holds an Iraqi visa and a (valid) passport to be unacceptable.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, also demanded the Iranian's release.

The U.S. military said the suspect was being questioned about his knowledge of, and involvement in, the transportation of EFPs and other roadside bombs from Iran into Iraq and his facilitation of travel and training in Iran for Iraqi insurgents. The military said no decision had been made about whether to file charges.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Farhadi was in charge of border transactions in western Iran and went to Iraq on an official invitation.He said Iran expects the Iraqi government to provide security for Iranian nationals there and warned the arrest could affect relations between the two neighbors as well.
Iraqi authorities, meanwhile, said a shipment of chlorine had crossed the border from Jordan after concerns were raised about shortages of the chemical needed to prevent an outbreak of cholera from spreading.Officials said earlier that as much as 100,000 tons of chlorine was being held up at the border for fear it would be hijacked and used in explosives. Several chlorine truck bombs blamed on suspected Sunni insurgents earlier this year killed scores of people. Naeem al-Qabi, the deputy chief of Baghdad's municipal council, said warehouses in the capital were preparing to accept the chlorine, which would help purify water supplies.

There is some administrative work needed to be done and it will be finished very soon, al-Qabi said. Iraq now has a total of 1,652 confirmed cases of cholera after three new cases were confirmed in Salahuddin province, according to an update on the World Health Organization's Web site on Sunday. Earlier, cholera was confirmed in the provinces of Sulaimaniyah, Tamim and Irbil, as well as a case each in Baghdad and in Basra. As the weather cools and becomes more favorable for transmission, the organism is expected to spread to other provinces, the WHO's country office in Iraq said on its Web site. Cholera is endemic to Iraq, with about 30 cases registered each year. The last major outbreak was in 1999, when 20 cases were discovered in one day. Also Sunday, Iraq's minister of state for national security, Sherwan al-Waili, took over the security operations center in Basra as tensions rose in the southern city following the assassination of a local representative of Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. The region has been rocked by violence between rival Shiite militias linked to political parties, raising concerns about security as the British military has pulled back its troops from the city center to a nearby airport to allow Iraqi security forces to take over. Al-Waili told reporters that he will temporarily head the operations center until a new security plan is implemented very soon in the city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad.

This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
September 21, 2007
Dear Friend of The Fellowship,

For years, it has been obvious that Iran is a chief source of Middle East instability and a grave threat to Israel. Iran funds Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and supports terrorists killing U.S. troops in Iraq, as well as the Hamas regime that has turned Gaza into a Muslim fundamentalist state.Anti-Israel, anti-Western statements from Iran are becoming more and more ominous. Earlier this week, an Iranian news website affiliated with the regime reported, Iran will shoot 600 missiles at Israel if it is attacked, and promised that U.S. Army bases and troops throughout the Middle East are also targeted.At the same time, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ratcheted up the warlike rhetoric that has become his hallmark. Recently he called Israel Satan’s standard-bearer and promised the use of Iranian nuclear technology to any nation or group willing to confront the U.S. and the West. This volatile combination of hatred, poisonous religious fanaticism, and the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction points to the central question facing peace-loving nations at this critical time in history: Does the free world have the option of waiting to find out whether Ahmadinejad is willing and able to carry out his threats?

Incredibly, despite Iran’s deliberate and well-documented attempts to create chaos, fear and instability, Ahmadinejad will speak before the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York next week. It is especially outrageous that the president of a nation who has openly called for the destruction of another U.N. member state will be welcomed to speak before an organization that claims one of its goals is to encourage nations “to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors.” Clearly, tolerance and peaceful coexistence are not on Iran’s agenda.Ahmadinejad has spoken at the U.N. twice before, and on each occasion thousands of people have gathered there to protest his hateful stance against Israel and the West. There will be a rally again on Monday, and if you are in the New York area, I strongly encourage you to attend.If you cannot come to the rally, we have made it easy for your voice to be heard. I strongly encourage you to send a message to Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, telling him that, until Iran disavows its hateful ideology, its representatives should not be allowed to speak before any gathering of civilized nations. Now is not a time to be silent! I invite you to take our action alert and send your message today.

With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Israeli archeologists ordered out of court hearing
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

A group of Israeli archeologists and public officials who petitioned the High Court of Justice against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the Antiquities Authority over ongoing Wakf infrastructure work on the Temple Mount were ordered out of the courtroom during a hearing Thursday, an archeologist said. The members of the nonpartisan Committee Against the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount had to leave the courtroom while the state-run archeological body presented secret evidence to the court. It is more than clear that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has instructed the Antiquities Authority to cooperate with the Wakf and conceal the damage to antiquities being done during the infrastructure work at the site, said Hebrew University archeologist and leading Temple Mount expert Dr. Eilat Mazar.

The two-month old dig on the Temple Mount is being carried out by Islamic officials with Israeli approval as part of infrastructure work to repair faulty electrical lines on the ancient compound. The independent Israeli archeologists say that the dig, which is being carried out with tractors and other heavy construction machinery, has created a 400-meter long and 1.5 meter deep trench, destroying several layers of ancient remains on the Temple Mount.

ISAIAH 17:1
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Israel to fulfill Biblical prophecy?
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow.com - September 21, 2007

The head of a pro-Israel ministry says that recent air strikes, by Israel on Syria, could possibly mean the soon fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy about Damascus.
Jan Markell is founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries. She has read the reports about the September 6 strike by Israeli jets on what is believed to have been a substantial target inside Syria, even though both the Syrians and the Israelis are not divulging any details of the attack.Markell says she wonders about the prophetic words in Isaiah 17:1, Damascus is to be leveled to become a ruinous heap. Not anything can live in it again. Now that's never happened, she says.

She says with Syria trying to obtain nuclear weapons, the words of Isaiah 17:1 loom even larger. If Syria ever lobs any kind of a nuke into Israel, I believe Israel will respond in kind and depending on the seriousness of the whole situation could fulfill Isaiah 17:1, the complete destruction of Damascus, she states. According to Markell, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the world and has never experienced complete destruction. However, she believes that we are living in the end-times, so the prophecy against Damascus could soon come to pass.American Family News Network.

I KNOW WHY NATO IS BACKING OFF FROM ITS RAPID REACTION FORCE ITS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THE EU WILL HAVE A RAPID REACTION FORCE THATS WHY?

NATO backs off plan for a rapid-response force
Officials cite a shortage of troops, money
By Judy Dempsey, International Herald Tribune

BERLIN - NATO is backing away from establishing a combat force that would be capable of moving rapidly into conflict areas because it lacks the money, the troops and the equipment, officials said yesterday.NATO's decision to rethink the so-called Response Force is a blow for the 26-member alliance, which was seeking a way to alter a cumbersome and reactive organization of the Cold War era to field flexible units capable of being deployed within days to carry out a range of operations, including counter-terrorism.While NATO has changed significantly in recent years - seen in its involvement in combat in Afghanistan, for example - the way missions are financed and military equipment is procured has lagged.Moreover, analysts said, the future of the Response Force could send a signal to the European Union, which is establishing its own battle groups - units of about 1,500 troops that could be sent to a conflict zone within 10 days.

We are having trouble generating forces for all the missions that NATO, the EU, the UN and others need for missions around the world, said James Appathurai, the alliance's spokesman. The scope and size of the NATO response force would be reassessed, he said.First proposed by Donald Rumsfeld in 2002, when he was the US defense secretary, the NATO Response Force was to consist of 25,000 soldiers serving on six-month rotations. Groups of countries would commit land, air, naval, or special forces for this duration.But some member states began to complain that the burden was too heavy and too costly because their own forces were assigned to the NATO missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo; the US-led coalition in Iraq; and the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon.

Tomas Valasek, a defense specialist at the Center for European Reform, a research institute in London, said: NATO has a problem that affects the EU as well. There are simply not enough troops. NATO is asking member states to sign up to the Response Force at a time when more troops are needed for Afghanistan. NATO has hit a ceiling. The Response Force is a luxury member states cannot afford.The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has sent 40,000 soldiers to Afghanistan and 17,000 are still in Kosovo, nine years after the alliance deployed troops to the Serbian province. (NATO air forces bombed Serbia to stop Slobodan Milosevic's ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo.)Alliance officials said the Response Force lacked attack helicopters and heavy air transport. A mission needs logistics, transport, field hospitals, and at least treble the number of forces because the soldiers have to be rotated, a NATO official said.

The shortcomings are almost identical in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.That remains the case despite repeated calls by the NATO secretary general, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, for alliance nations to send more troops and equipment, particularly to the south of the country, where NATO is engaged in heavy fighting with Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgents.The alliance also has had problems financing the Response Force and other missions. A NATO country that sends troops to an international peacekeeping force is obliged to pay for the troops under the system of costs lie where they fall. That is a heavy burden for countries that contribute large numbers of troops. Britain, Canada, and the Netherlands, for example, have sent the most soldiers to southern Afghanistan.De Hoop Scheffer has tried to change way such missions are financed: All nations, he suggests, should pay even if they did not send troops. Progress has been very slow, NATO diplomats said.
NATO should reform the way operations are financed, Valasek said. There should be much more common funding.

Arab nations invited to peace conference By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writer SEPT 23,07

UNITED NATIONS - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday that key Arab nations, including Syria, would be invited to President Bush's planned Mideast peace conference this fall and expressed hope they would attend. Formal invitations haven't been issued yet but Rice said it would be natural for Syria, Saudi Arabia and 10 other Arab League members looking at a broad peace deal with Israel to participate despite their hostility to the Jewish state.It is very important that the regional players of the international community mobilize to support them, she said, referring to the Israelis and the Palestinians.But, she said their attendance would have to reflect acceptance of international efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and support for the ultimate goal of a two-state solution and comprehensive regional peace agreement.We would hope that the invitations would include the members of the Arab follow-up committee, Rice told a news conference here after a meeting of the international diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East — the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia.Aside from the Palestinians and Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, the committee members are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.Only two of the countries, Egypt and Jordan, have peace deals with Israel and some, notably Syria, remain technically at war with the Jewish state. Earlier this month, Israel is alleged to have launched an airstrike on what some reports have said was a North Korean nuclear facility in Syria.

The United States has long been concerned about Syrian development of weapons of mass destruction and has harshly criticized Syria for its consistent anti-Israel stance, support for Palestinian militants and its role in Lebanon where Damascus is accused of interference.Rice did not speak to the appropriateness of inviting Syria to the as-yet unscheduled conference that Bush announced plans for in July and is expected to be held in Washington in November. She said that attendance has to be a commitment to supporting a two-state solution and agreement that the chance to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that we should not miss.Many Arab states have said they see no use for Bush's conference unless it has clear goals and a realistic chance of meeting them. A senior U.S. official said Rice thought she could allay those fears in her talks on Sunday.

Still, there was no immediate reaction from Syria.

And, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal was noncommittal about attending the conference after seeing Rice at her hotel before the Quartet meeting.The Palestinians want the conference to produce an outline for a peace deal; the Israelis want more vague declarations.Rice was in the Middle East last week and plans to return to the region soon to continue the planning for the conference.Her visit coincided with Israel's decision to declare the Gaza Strip, which the radical Hamas movement seized in June, as hostile territory. That designation dealt a potential blow to efforts to bolster moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who now runs only the West Bank.She conceded Sunday that the road ahead is one that is very difficult. But she added: There is a lot of commitment and hopefully this time we'll succeed.In addition to the Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab League committee, those to be invited to the U.S.-hosted conference will include the Quartet members and other major international players and donors, possibly including Japan, officials said.The Quartet's special representative, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, gave his backing to the conference, saying it would be a crucial element in taking advantage of what he said was growing momentum in the peace process. As a group the Quartet representatives — Rice, Blair, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado, E.U. foreign policy chief Javier Solana and E.U. foreign affairs commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner — echoed that sentiment. The Quartet will work for a successful international meeting and for the implementation of its conclusions, they said in a statement. Sunday's meeting set the stage for meetings Bush will have in New York on Monday with Blair, Abbas and Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

World markets still affected by fear: Greenspan Sun Sep 23, 4:26 PM ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Fear is still affecting world financial markets, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in an interview released on Sunday in which he also backed France's candidate to head the IMF. Greenspan told newspaper Le Figaro that the current financial market turmoil bore many of the hallmarks of the 1997-1998 crisis in Asian and Russian markets, and said the current difficulties were not yet over.I have graphs dating back to 1997-1998. The products are different but the curves are the same, Greenspan said in an interview due to be published on Monday.
Fear dissipates when price uncertainty diminishes, that is to say when the spread between the sale price and the purchase price of securities falls and stabilizes. We're not there yet, Greenspan said.The current global credit crunch began in the U.S. subprime mortgage sector, where home loans made to borrowers with poor credit records were repackaged and sold on around the world as asset backed securities to institutional investors, including hedge funds.

Central banks have pumped liquidity into money markets to prevent them seizing up.

On the International Monetary Fund, Greenspan said the organization had to adapt to changed circumstances and that Frenchman Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a former Socialist finance minister, would be a good candidate to run the fund.The IMF has to rethink its mission. Dominique Strauss-Kahn is perfectly well equipped to understand the type of sensitive reforms that must be put in place, he told Le Figaro.Strauss-Kahn, the top contender for the job, will likely be named the next IMF managing director after he was endorsed on Wednesday by the United States.Former Czech central banker Josef Tosovsky, nominated by Russia, is considered a challenge to the custom of Western Europe appointing the head of the global lender.(Reporting by Jon Boyle)

Quartet rallies behind US call for Israeli-Palestinian parley by Sylvie Lanteaume SEPT 23,07

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The Middle East diplomatic Quartet on Sunday rallied behind the US call for an international peace conference later this year to set out the contours of a future Palestinian state. After a two-hour meeting here, the four peace sponsors -- The United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations -- expressed backing for the international conference which Washington hopes to host later this year.The Quartet will work for a successful international meeting and for the implementation of its conclusions, a joint statement issued at the end of the meeting said.The talks brought together UN chief Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and British former prime minister Tony Blair.Blair delivered his first report to the Quartet since he was named the grouping's special envoy in June.
Things are moving again, said Blair who has been tasked by the Quartet to help the Palestinians create stable institutions to underpin a viable state. There's a good deal of momentum, Rice chimed in, speaking of a very firm commitment by key players and of a lot of goodwill among fellow Quartet members and Arab leaders.

The Quartet issued a roadmap for achieving Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003, but the three-stage plan that should have led to the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005 has since languished.Earlier Sunday, the United States dropped a bombshell by announcing plans to invite Syria to the planned international peace talks.The conference, proposed by US President George W. Bush, would also draw in neighboring states, major powers and members of the Arab League follow-up committee and other key international players.We have not issued invitations as such but it is only natural that we would hope that the participants would include the members of the Arab follow-up, Rice told reporters.The Arab League committee includes Jordan, Egypt -- the only two Arab states to have signed a peace treaty with Israel -- as well as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Syria.The panel is tasked with persuading Israel to accept a land for peace Saudi initiative relaunched in March by the Arab League during a summit in Riyadh.But Rice did not name Syria, a country which Washington suspects of being behind political assassinations in neighboring Lebanon and of allowing arms and fighters to flow into Iraq.The grouping made no direct mention of Israel's decision to declare the Hamas-run Gaza Strip a hostile entity and to threaten to cut essential services to the territory. It underscored the need for immediate additional steps to meet previous commitments, including those under the roadmap and the Agreement on Movement and Access.

This was a reference to Israel's previous commitments to ease restrictions on movements to and from the Palestinian territories.The Quartet also expressed concern over conditions in Gaza and stressed the importance of continued emergency and humanitarian assistance without obstruction.Blair meanwhile announced that a meeting of donors for the Palestinians would be held late this year. Economic assistance to the beleaguered Palestinians was to be discussed at a meeting of donors to be chaired by Norway Monday. The United States and the European Union suspended direct economic assistance to the Palestinians in April 2006 after Hamas, which they regard as a terrorist group, won parliamentary elections. Although Washington and the EU announced the resumption of direct aid in June following the appointment of Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad, the Quartet statement endorsed an extension until the end of the year of the temporary (aid) mechanism set up in 2006 to bypass Hamas.

UN hosts meeting of Middle East peace Quartet Sun Sep 23, 12:57 AM ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The four sponsors of the Middle East peace process meet here Sunday to discuss preparations for a US-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace conference expected to be held in November. The UN meeting, being held two days before world leaders kick off summit talks during the General Assembly session, is also an opportunity for the so-called Quartet to hear former British prime minister Tony Blair's first report since he was named the grouping's special envoy in June.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon is hosting the gathering with his three Quartet partners: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.Rice told reporters earlier this week that she planned to brief her colleagues on her recent Middle East trip during which she engaged in shuttle diplomacy with Israelis and Palestinians.She added that she also planned to meet separately with Blair ahead of Sunday's meeting.US President George W. Bush has called for a Middle East peace conference later this year in order to jumpstart Israeli-Palestinian talks, a summit that regional players widely expect to be held in November.

Quartet members are to give a joint press conference at the end of Sunday's two-hour meeting.

The quartet issued a roadmap for achieving Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003, but the three-stage plan that should have led to the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005 has since languished.Sunday night, Quartet members are to huddle with representatives of the Arab League at an Iftar dinner, the evening meal for breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan.Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, who is to chair a meeting of donors for the Palestinians Monday morning, was to take part in the Iftar dinner.Earlier this month, Jordan's King Abdullah told Blair that final status issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be a top priority at the US-sponsored peace conference.The Jordanian monarch then said his country, a close US ally, supports all efforts by the Quartet to bring closer the points of view between the Palestinians and Israelis ahead of the peace meeting called for by US President George W. Bush.Hard work is needed for the the success of the international meeting, which should come up with positive results that would meet the aspirations of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state on their territories, he told Blair.The Jordanian monarch has urged Israelis and the Palestinians to waste no time in resuming final status negotiations on crucial issues such as borders, the future of Jerusalem and refugees.And Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has warned that the planned conference could fail unless Israel agrees on a framework of core issues.

PREMEDITATED MERGER
Mexican official urges North American Union
Tells Denver trade conference EU is model we need to follow quickly
September 21, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - By Michael Howe 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Mayor Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna, Mexico
At a Denver conference on intercontinental trade corridors, a Mexican mayor called for a swift move toward a European Union-style merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Referring to Europe, Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna – a sister city of Del Rio, Texas – told the Great Plains International Conference, It's a model we need to follow quickly.Perez later told WND, If only people know the benefits of opening the borders and working together, improving the quality of life for all, then no one would be opposed to the idea of a North American Union.A spokesman for organizers of the conference – which began Wednesday and concludes today – rejected the Mexican mayor's view.

This is not what the conference is about, it is not about a North American Union, said Joe Kiely, vice president of the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition. It is about developing infrastructure and economic opportunities in the Great Plains. I am equally surprised the other items were brought up here.Ports-to-Plains describes itself as a planned, multimodal transportation corridor including a multi-lane divided highway that will facilitate the efficient transportation of goods and services from Mexico, through West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and ultimately on into Canada and the Pacific Northwest.The conference, held at the Adams Mark Hotel, is promoted as an opportunity to highlight the efforts of communities and citizens working together to bring the benefits of investment in transportation infrastructure and trade home to the Great Plains region.Asked why he chose the conference to promote the idea of a North American Union, Perez told WND, It's as good as any place and the right people are here.This is not a new idea, he said. In fact when there are border meetings between border governors or border legislatures this is a topic that continually comes up.Perez also affirmed the Ports to Plains Corridor is basically a NAFTA Superhighway and needs to be developed as such.

We need to begin by building the infrastructure in the three countries, investing in Mexico, and then we can sell the main idea that Mexicans should stay in Mexico. We just need to create an equal level for all, Perez said. Del Rio, Texas, Mayor Efrain Valdes told conferees he came to build relationships he hopes will last for decades to come. We are all North Americans, he said. Three countries, but we are all North Americans.Michael Reeves, president of Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition, kicked off the conference with brief remarks. Eduardo Arnal, consulate general of Mexico in Denver, later provided numerous statistics documenting the strong economic relationship between Mexico and the U.S. Because of NAFTA, we are partners in the fight against terror and need to help ensure each other's safety, Arnal said. Arnal later discussed with WND the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. and the issue of illegal immigration. The best and only way to stop illegal immigration is for the United States to invest in Mexico, he said. A fence will not work. It's a simple equation of supply and demand – Mexicans go to the U.S. for work because the demand for their labor and wages is there.

Arnal said although Mexico must share responsibility for the immigration issue, it is the U.S. that really needs to step up and begin investing more in Mexico to help bring the country to a level playing field. The Canadian perspective was delivered by Phillippe Taillon, vice consul and trade commissioner of the Canadian Consulate in Denver. Like his Mexican counterpart, Taillon presented statistics on the relationship between the three countries and told the crowd "NAFTA has been hugely profitable for all three countries.He also expressed an interest in continuing to integrate rail, truck and air transportation networks as Canada looks to open new markets from Asia.

Greenspan: Euro Gains As Reserve Choice
Monday September 17, 8:07 am ET Report: Former Fed Boss Says Euro Could Replace U.S. Dollar As Favored Reserve Currency

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said it is possible that the euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of choice.According to an advance copy of an interview to be published in Thursday's edition of the German magazine Stern, Greenspan said that the dollar is still slightly ahead in its use as a reserve currency, but added that it doesn't have all that much of an advantage anymore.The euro has been soaring against the U.S. currency in recent weeks, hitting all-time high of $1.3927 last week as the dollar has fallen on turbulent market conditions stemming from the ongoing U.S. subprime crisis. The Fed meets this week and is expected to lower its benchmark interest rate from the current 5.25 percent.Greenspan said that at the end of 2006, some 25 percent of all currency reserves held by central banks were held in euros, compared to 66 percent for the U.S. dollar.In terms of being used as a payment for cross-border transactions, the euro is trailing the dollar only slightly with 39 percent to 43 percent.Greenspan said the European Central Bank has become a serious factor in the global economy.He said the increased usage of the euro as a reserve currency has led to a lowering of interest rates in the euro zone, which has without any doubt contributed to the current economic growth.http://www.stern.de

African NGOs Wary of Recent Trade Agreement with European Union
By Joana Mantey Accra, Ghana 20 September 2007

The European Union is hoping to enter a new free trade arrangement, known as the Economic Partnership Agreements, EPA’s, with African, Caribbean and Pacific countries, ACPs, by January 2008. But the Africa Trade Network, ATN, a group of 50 civil society groups in 30 African countries, is cautioning African governments against the new deal.From Accra, Ghana, Voice of America English to Africa reporter Joana Mantey tells us the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries have been negotiating the new trade agreement for five years. The goal is to establish new arrangements that will eventually remove barriers on almost all trade between the two groups. A press release by the EU delegation in Ghana said new solutions compatible with World Trade Organization rules on non-discrimination are needed to regulate trade because the old recipes have not promoted diversification, competitiveness and growth.Tetteh Hormeku is the program officer of Third World Network, a group that coordinates the activities of the ATN.

He explained that the EU is expecting further negotiations in areas such as investment, trade facilitation, government procurement, data protection and services. Homerku said ACP countries will find it difficult to compete on the same level with EU countries:The problem is that because European economies are much more advanced than African economies and because the European Union is able to give subsidies to its producers and products, if we liberalize, they will just destroy our domestic products and producers so that it will [lead] to de-industrialization in Africa and the collapse of our economies.The intent of the EPA’s as outlined in the agreement is to promote sustainable development and contribute to poverty eradication in ACP countries. But the emphasis on liberalization has created an impression among critics that the negotiation is about European expanded access to ACP markets, rather than about development in ACP countries.Hormeku agrees with the critics that the arrangements will bring few benefits to Africa. He said although goods from ACP countries would be allowed entry into European markets, the results would be costly. For example, he said for a country like Ghana, which has 40 per cent trade with the European Union, the removal of tariffs on European goods coming into Ghana could amount to a 20 per cent loss of revenue.

Also, he says the removal of tariffs would mean African farmers would have to compete with European ones, who receive subsidies from their governments. He doubts the African farmer could win the competition, and there could well be a dumping of Western goods on the market: If we remove the tariffs (on European goods coming in to Ghana), producers in our country will be faced with cheap European products. For instance [Ghana’s] chicken farmers have been devastated because subsidized chicken and poultry from Europe enters into our market.Homerku said all of the sectors of the economies of developing countries would be adversely affected. The end result would be a loss of livelihood and a vicious cycle of poverty for Africans. He said heavy dependence on EU aid by these countries is likely to pressurize most into complying with the new trade arrangement. Homerku said at the moment, some countries are being enticed with promises of increased aid on the condition that they meet the end-of-the-year deadline. This, despite a number of requests by ACP countries that the negotiations be put on hold for three more years to allow for adequate preparation.Homeku further says it is important that all elements of a trade relationship be consistent with Africa’s development needs. Filiberto Ceriani Sebregondi is head of the EU Delegation of the European Commission in Ghana. He said the EPA’s should be seen more as development instruments rather than as another trade regime: It is a broader form of agreement that will be geared towards expanding trade and economic growth in ACP countries. The aim is to create regional markets that are larger in size and more transparent in the way they function and more predictable in the rules that apply to investment.

EU press statements say that most ACP countries trade more with Europe than they do with each other. However, more duties are paid on exports to developing countries than to EU countries. Therefore, the EU supports new agreements that would eliminate barriers between neighboring countries and create real integration that would favor trade and boost growth. It would also create bigger markets more attractive to investors and would facilitate trade with landlocked countries.Sebregondi also refuted charges that the Economic Partnership Agreements would lead to the dumping of European goods on African markets: Europe and Africa don’t compete on the same goods. The two markets rather compliment than compete each other. Secondly, the opening [of ACP markets] will be over a period of 10 to 25 years by which [time] African countries would have prepared their economies to compete with EU products which in any case will bring about some benefits.However, Sebregondi said the EU would make a move to protect some sensitive products, such as tomato paste, from ACP countries.

[Comment] Could a financial crisis engulf Europe?
21.09.2007 - 09:22 CET | By George Irvin

EUOBSERVER / COMMENT - If you're worried about the close connection between negative household savings in the United States and world economic instability, you need look no further than the ‘sub-prime lending' crisis of 2007, an instructive lesson in how quickly a set of apparently unrelated factors can combine to produce the threat of financial meltdown. Earlier this month small savers in the UK queued up 1930s-style outside the branches of Northern Rock, one of Britain's many building societies which (much like a US ‘thrift') specialises in mortgage lending. Until quite recently, Northern Rock was one of Britain's most dynamic mortgage lenders, achieving a high average annual growth rate and holding little bad debt. But in the course of a few weeks, depositors withdrew nearly £20bn, and the company's share price plummeted by 80% making it ripe for takeover. In 2006 the company's chairman, Adam Applegarth, had paid himself a modest £1.4mn; as one journalist noted, unlike Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life, he did not appear at the door of the bank offering to repay customers from his own money.

Ironically, the run on this particular bank appears to have been precipitated by factors which have little to do with the institution's financial integrity, but rather have been caused by the credit crunch in the US market. Indeed, what is most worrying about this episode is that contagion has crossed the Atlantic and could easily spread to other financial institutions in Europe. The US Fed and the European Central Bank have already poured billions into keeping financial markets solvent, the former $70bn and the latter €150bn in July and August; moreover, only a few days ago the US Federal Funds rate was cut by ½ a percentage point. The Bank of England followed with a £10bn injection of credit, in recognising - perhaps a trifle late - that the damage needed to be contained quickly, given the central role of the City of London in the world's money market. How did all this come about?

How it happened

A generation ago when the world of finance was still relatively simple, mortgage banks took in savers' deposits and used these to make long-term loans, making their profit from the spread between the interest rates paid to lenders and borrowers. Loan outflows are a bank's assets and deposit inflows are a liability; hence the traditional golden rule of banking - lend short and borrow long - is meant to keep the inflow of maturing loan repayments well ahead of the outflow of liabilities to depositors. A banker's worst nightmare is the bank's creditors - traditionally, thousands of small savers - will all turn up at once demanding their money back, thus precipitating the bank's collapse. Ostensibly, mortgage banks defy gravity because their loans are all long term; hence, the supreme importance of lending only to those who can repay and whose collateral is quite literally 'safe as houses'.
Several things have happened over the last generation to change the picture. First, the rapid development of financial markets, and particularly that for short-term funds (the international 'money market'), has made access to credit nearly instantaneous and made financial and other institutions more reliant on such credit.

Equally, central banks today are more conscious of their obligation to act as lender of the last resort if a bank cannot meet its cash obligations its own funds or from the money market. Also, flexible mortgages mean that if interest rates rise, a mortgage bank can pass the rise along to borrowers. Perhaps most important, banks need no longer carry risky mortgages which, if unpaid, would be classed as a non-performing asset. Instead, mortgages can be bundled up (securitised in the jargon), segmented by their degree of risk, and sold in the market just like any other commodity. In short, banks can unload risk onto whoever buys these asset backed securities (ABSs); buyers might be any institution looking to diversify its asset portfolio, including other banks.In the United States, one of the factors fuelling the housing bubble was the eagerness of banks to lend for house purchase and remortgage existing property, reflecting the ease with which banks could pass on mortgage risk to the secondary market. Initially, banks granted mortgages to high- and middle-income clients; such mortgages, when bundled into bond-like assets, were given a prime rating by valuers such as Moody's Corporation and thus considered virtually risk-free. As the momentum behind the housing boom grew and interest rates remained low, banks extended their services to low-income clients eager to join the consumption spree - often using bait and switch tactics to lure them in, then charging them above-prime rates. Since such clients were vulnerable to any rise in interest rates, the resulting mortgage pools were deemed to be sub-prime. But when sub-prime mortgages were bundled together with prime mortgages, the resulting mortgage pools could still be bought and sold in the world money market like any other financial product.Starting in June 2004, the Federal Reserve repeatedly pushed up the federal funds rate from a low of 1% to 5.25% by late 2006, in effect nearly doubling the burden of mortgage repayments on the finances of an average family. Predictably, one result was a dramatic rise in the default rate on mortgages granted to sub-prime borrowers. Banks and other institutions holding fully or partially sub-prime ABSs now found it difficult to sell these in secondary markets and, as the assets lost value, so too did the asset sheet of their holders who, in turn, tightened credit.

Europe narrowly avoided trouble

Because the world money market is today so large and electronic trading is ubiquitous, a wide variety of institutions rely on the money market for short-term credit needs. By mid-2007, what had started as a rise in the default rate on mortgages amongst US borrowers now turned into a world-wide credit crunch. The worlds' leading central banks may have talked tough about the moral hazard of bailing out overexposed institutions, but faced with the prospect of recession they flooded the market with liquidity. At the time of writing, the contagion seems to have been contained and the pain will be borne chiefly by low-income American families for whom the prospect of buying a home has become even more remote. Europe has narrowly avoided serious trouble. But the consumer spree of the past two decades, first facilitated by financial deregulation and driven by the booming stock market and then by the housing market, may be drawing to a close. The danger is that the world financial system is already dangerously fragile; as the US dollar falls, a further speculative crisis could send the world economy into a tailspin. More generally, the contagious nature of the liquidity crisis is a further sign that unfettered free markets do not guarantee economic stability and prosperity, nor do they give rise to an income distribution that underwrites social stability and individual well-being. George Irvin's new book, The Road to Inequality, will appear in the spring of 2008.

Actors tell Hollywood Enough is Enough
Petition set up to seek respect for Jesus name - September 22, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Kathy Griffin

Actress Kathy Griffin's rant at the Emmy awards in which she told Jesus to suck it has triggered a petition campaign intended to tell Hollywood Enough is Enough!
Griffin, the star of the Bravo show My Life on the D-List, was being honored for the Outstanding Reality Program, overtaking ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition after multiple attempts, when she launched into the tirade. But cast members at the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., say they have had all they can stand. We, as Christian entertainers, do not take it lightly that the name of our Lord and Savior has been mocked, and in response, we took out an ad in USA Today to stand up for Him, the group said. The group purchased a USA Today ad, for almost $100,000, on Sept. 17 to say, Enough is Enough! The name of Jesus Christ should not be mocked, nor should those who love Him be slandered for their beliefs. It is time for people of faith around the country to stand firm against religious slander, bias, and bigotry of all types including Christianity!

We are the actors, singers, dancers, crew and managers of Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. We are proud to stand on stage every night and use our God-given talents to portray the life and the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We, along with thousands of other Christians in the entertainment industry, know our talents do come from God, and we take offense when His name is battered and bruised by people through the media. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was mocked and few stood up for Him. We at The Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today, the group said. Griffin, at the 59th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards held recently, said: I guess hell froze over. A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this. ... Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now, she said. The statement brought an immediate reaction from Bill Donohue, president of Catholic League. He called it a vulgar in-your-face brand of hate speech from a self-described complete militant atheist.

He continued: Mel Gibson. Michael Richards. Isaiah Washington. Imus. Jerry Lewis. Every time a celebrity offends a segment of the population, he pays a price, in one way or another. The question now is whether Kathy Griffin will pay a similar price for her outburst. And as we have learned, her verbal assault was calculated.The Miracle Theater organization said: Our attempt is not to throw stones at Ms. Griffin, or anyone else. It is every American's God given right to worship freely and to speak freely. We believe, however, that as Christians, we should not accept her mockery of our Lord quietly! What is shocking to us is how people tend to respond to comments like this about Jesus Christ. It made our heart sick to see people in the audience at the Emmys laughing at Griffin's remarks.The idea for its petition effort, Million Voices for Christ, came about after many people saw the original ad, and called to express their thanks. The group then purchased a second ad to announce its petition plans.

It seemed that many were looking for a way to speak out on the matter. If we together stand up and say, Enough is Enough! we can show the media that there are MILLIONS OF US that love our Lord! With a million signatures, together, we can remind Hollywood that this country was founded on the principles of God's Holy Word, the group said. The message of this petition is simple respect. Our primary objective is to give any person who wants to speak out in support of Christ an outlet to do so, said Russ Hollingsworth, general manager of The Miracle Theater. There is strength in numbers. One million people speaking up just can't be ignored.
He said every American has the right to worship freely and to speak freely. We believe, however, that as Christians it's time for us to take a stand for our faith and ask for respectful treatment from the media and the entertainment industry.

We acknowledge receipt of your recent e-mail to the Prime Minister’s Office regarding excavations on the Temple Mount . Please be assured that the Israeli Antiquities Authority is closely following the work being carried out on the Temple Mount , and is ensuring that there is no damage to any antiquities unearthed.

Subject: STOP THE DIGGING MR OLMERT NOW PLEASE

Dear Mr Olmert and Israeli Government

This nonsense of letting the Muslims destroy 1st and 2nd Temple artifacts must come to an end. We as Christians insist the Muslims get forced to stop the digging and immediately return the Temple Mount to Israels hands so they can discover what and were the 1st and 2nd Temples stood, and then can rebuild the 3rd Temple also while they are at it.

Mr Olmert this has to stop. Let the israeli's discover were the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt so the Israelis can Sacrifice once again to the GOD OF ISRAEL in the 3rd TEMPLE .

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

ISRAEL TARGET: SYRIA NUKES
By NEIL GRAVES NY POST

September 20, 2007 -- An Israeli airstrike on Syria earlier this month targeted a building that was believed to house nuclear equipment and came just three days after a North Korean ship docked at a Syrian port, according to reports. The arrival of the ship triggered the strike on Sept. 6 by five Israeli warplanes. The target was a building which had been under surveillance by an Israeli satellite, sent into orbit last June, U.S. officials told CBS News. American officials said they did not know for sure what was in the building, but they agree with the Israelis that there are signs Syria is trying to acquire a nuclear capability.

Hamas trains force of 10,000 to answer Israeli incursion SEPT 21,07

GAZA CITY — Hamas has been preparing a force to counter any Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.Hamas officials said their new Islamist regime has been training and equipping a force of at least 10,000 fighters to stop any Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.They said the effort was being led by Hamas's military wing, Izzedin Kassam.On Sept. 14, Izzedin Kassam staged military maneuvers in the northern Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. Officials said Hamas expected an Israeli ground force to penetrate the Gaza Strip from the north and east and head toward Gaza City, the seat of government. To send a message to the occupation forces that we are ready for any attack, Izzedin Kassam Brigades conducted a military maneuver on Sept. 14, Hamas said.Over the last week, several Israeli ministers have raised the prospect of an invasion of the Gaza Strip. On Sept. 11, 69 Israeli soldiers were injured in a Palestinian missile strike on an Israeli military base south of Ashkelon.

Over the weekend, Israel's military operated in all sectors of the Gaza Strip. The military has used infantry forces, aircraft and naval surface vessels.The Palestinian exercise in Beit Lahiya was led by Nizar Rayan, identified as Hamas military commander of the northern Gaza Strip. Rayan vowed that Hamas would not flee any Israel military advance.The drill, attended by journalists, presented Hamas fighters in squad operations. Squad members, dressed in black ski masks and camouflage, fired rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire toward houses and other targets.Hamas military spokesman Abu Obeida said the Palestinian army has been on full alert for any Israeli invasion. Abu Obeida said Hamas was monitoring Israeli military movements along the Gaza border.We are witnessing a buildup along the borders of the Zionist sector [Israel] and the willingness of aggression amid the great conspiracy, internal, external and Arab silence, Abu Obeida said. We in Izzedin Kassam Brigades have prepared a defense plan for the Gaza Strip.

Sheikdom shakedown: Dubai moves on Nasdaq
Arab ownership of U.S. stock exchange raises flag in Congress
September 20, 2007 4:14 p.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

In a complex set of transactions, Dubai is moving to acquire 19.9 percent of the Nasdaq in New York, placing the Arab government in an ownership position of the key U.S. stock exchange and raising concerns in Congress. As a result of the transaction, Dubai also will acquire 28 percent of the London Stock Exchange, one of the oldest and largest in the world. The transaction is being made through Borse Dubai, a holding company 100-percent owned by the government of the Emirate of Dubai and controlled by Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the head of the Dubai ruling family. According to its website, Borse Dubai was created Aug. 6 as the holding company for Dubai Financial Market and Dubai International Financial Exchange in a move to consolidate the Dubai government's two stock exchanges as well as current investments in other exchanges, expanding Dubai's position as a global capital market hub.

The announcement set off a firestorm of criticism in Washington, prompting President Bush to comment today in a news conference, We're going to take a good look at it, as to whether or not it has any national security implications involved in the transaction. I'm comfortable with the process to go forward.On July 26, Bush signed into law the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007, a law passed after last year's controversy over the effort by Dubai Ports World to acquire London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation, an international ports operating firm that would have given Dubai control of operations in up to 22 U.S. ports. The Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 was passed to strengthen the examination requirements of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, a highly secretive bureaucratic panel constituted by the Treasury Department to pass verdict on the national security implications of foreign investments in the U.S. In a letter today, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., urged Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson to conduct the Borse Dubai CFIUS review under the standards imposed by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007, even though most of the requirements of the new law do not take effect until later this fall. Schumer chairs the Joint Economic Committee, composed of 10 members each from the Senate and House of Representatives. Nasdaq is not just any exchange, but one of the world's largest, Schumer wrote Paulson. With approximately 3,200 companies, it lists more companies and, on average, trades more shares per day than any other U.S. market.

Schumer's letter posed five specific questions for Paulson:

What national security concerns are raised by allowing a foreign government to own U.S. financial exchanges? Specifically, with respect to Dubai, are there national security concerns about this particular country's influence or control over a U.S. exchange? U.S. exchanges are a critical asset to our national economic infrastructure. What implications would foreign government control or influence have on our economic security? U.S. economic security depends on continued competitiveness in a global financial market. What impact will this transaction have on U.S. financial competitiveness? If national and economic security concerns can be satisfied, should restrictions be placed on this transaction to limit Dubai's control and influence over U.S. exchanges? The Department of the Treasury could not be reached for immediate comment.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Fears for global economy fuels propels gold price
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Last Updated: 2:19am BST 22/09/2007

Autumn is typically a season for gold rallies

The moment every gold bug has been waiting for finally arrived this week when 'Barbaric Relic' smashed through resistance to close the week at a 27-year high of $737 an ounce on the London PM Fix. A heady mix of a collapsing dollar, a British banking crisis, and widespread suspicion that central banks are slackening in the fight against inflation, all combined to propel gold above the $730 peak of May 2006.
Analysts say there is now clear blue sky until reaching the all-time record of $850 in December 1980, when speculators drove it upwards in a parabolic rally at the end of the great inflation crisis.Greg Wilkins, chief executive of the world's top producer Barrick Gold, said the shock half point rate cut by the US Federal Reserve had been the trigger for a major break-out.

I think it's a perfect storm, to be quite honest with you, he said. What we have is inflation plus lower interest rates, and that's not something that we've seen before. I think that's going to be very bearish for the dollar, which is conversely good for gold, he said.Adding to the mood of euphoria, the autumn is typically a season for gold rallies, and Spain's central bank has at last halted its bullion sales.Madrid has been a major cap on prices this year, flooding the market with 150 tonnes. The bank has now cut its total holdings by 46pc, leaving the country with wafer-thin foreign reserves.Experts suspect that Asian central banks may have become buyers. China has less than 2pc of its vast $1,340bn reserves in gold, and has signalled an intent to diversify away from dollars.President Vladimir Putin has instructed Russia's central bank to raise the gold share of its huge reserves from around 5pc to 10pc.The Fed's aggressive rate cut at a time when oil is hovering at an all-time high of $82 a barrel, and food prices are rocketing, has created the impression that the US authorities are willing to tolerate higher inflation rather that allow the credit and housing bubble to deflate fully.As recently at late July, the Fed warned that inflation remained the predominant risk to the economy. Although price rises were tame in August, there are concerns that the headline CPI rate could jump from the current 2.4pc to nearer 3.5pc. China's inflation jumped to 6.5pc in August and price pressures are developing across Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.The Federal Reserve may be right in calculating that the US housing slump is now so serious that it will slow the economy sharply, dampening global price pressures over time. But for now, a large number of well-heeled investors are willing to bet otherwise.

Because of you and Rexella, I no longer have just pieces of the Bible. I now have the puzzle in its entirety.

Shalom Stan, BIBLE PROPHECY PROJECT SEPT 22,07

Today is Yom Kippur and throughout the world Jewish people will go to their local synagogue and beg God to be written in the Book of Life. Let us remember that Yeshua (Jesus) and His disciples also went to the synagogue on Yom Kippur, it is a Biblical Sabbath. And on this holiest day of the Jewish calendar year, each Jew will repeat their following requests to God with increasing urgency throughout the day. God, please forgive me of my intention and unintentional sins and allow me to be in the Book of Life. Allow my family to be in the Book of Life, and allow the Jewish People to be in the Book of Life!Unfortunately God's Chosen People do not believe that Yeshua (Jesus) has already paid the price and taken away their sins. And they do not believe that He has risen. They simply do not know the Gospel of Yeshua because no one has taken it to them. They do not know that He is the Messiah, and they do not know the Messianic Prophecies that point to him.

On this Holiest day of the year, 13 million Jewish people around the world believe that their good deeds will allow them to be written in the Book of Life and enter into eternal life. BUT Stan, you and I know that there is only one way to be written in the Lambs Book of Life, and that life can only be received through the blood of Yeshua. Two thousand (2000) years ago, the Temple in Jerusalem was a very bloody place on this Holiest day of the year as God demanded the sacrifice of animals be offered as atonement for our sins.However God sent His One and Only Son Yeshua Who was the final atonement for all of humanity's sins. Yeshua's blood is what allows us to be WRITTEN in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE. Today on this holiest day of the Jewish year I am asking you to make a difference and to help Jewish people be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. We must reach deep inside to freely give of ourselves to reach the lost sheep of Israel. Please click here to make a donation today on Yom Kippur so that our ministry can reach them with Yeshua.

There is no greater way to help God's Chosen People on Yom Kippur.

Our ministry is growing - we help counsel Jewish Believers who have left their faith in Yeshua. We reach out to homeless Jewish people, and most importantly we share the Gospel with Jewish people here in Israel and around the world, so that they can know Yeshua! And with your help we are able to publish a Free Messianic Prophecy that will reach the nation of Israel so that on future Yom Kippurs, the nation of Israel can be written in the Book of Life. The only thing that limits us is Funding! The more funding we receive, the more we can help Jews find Yeshua.Will you stand in the gap and weep over the Jewish people just like Yeshua wept over the city of Jerusalem: As Yeshua approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. Luke 19:41-42.

SPECIAL NOTE: FROM SUNSET FRIDAY TO SUNSET SATURDAY IT IS THE BIBLICAL DAY OF YOM KIPPUR - THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD FAST & REPENT THIS DAY. JOSIE & I SUGGEST THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN, JOIN WITH ISRAEL ON THIS MOST HOLY DAY & FAST AND PRAY FOR THE SALVATION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL AND IN YOUR NATION.

David's Comment: Heading Towards the War of Gog & Magog

The demon of another man-made peace treaty is in the air again. PM Olmert and his extremely secular cronies are preparing to commit nation suicide by preparing to give away half of Jerusalem, the Old City, the Temple Mount and most of Judea and Samaria. If God allows this to occur, the miracle of modern Israel will be as good as finished ! Every previous man-designed peace plan has been, and will continue to be a miserable failure, often inflaming the situation rather than improving it. Once again Israel is in serious trouble as the God of Israel seems to be using the Islamic world and the other nations to bring the Jewish people to their knees, in order that they cry out to him. It is not only Israel that is in serious trouble with God. Almost every nation and much of the Church is placing itself in the position to suffer the wrath of the Holy One of Israel, as they once again remain silent as Satan attempts to destroy Israel, or even conspire with the Muslims to force the weak and faithless Israeli leadership to relinquish land that belongs to the Almighty - Land which He has promised as an eternal inheritance to the physical seed of Abraham, by the covenant that He made with Abraham.

The vultures are hovering over Israel in anticipation of an imminent kill. Armadinjhad is mentioning October 12th and Syria must be absolutely fuming over the Israeli Air Force mission that destroyed a nuclear or chemical weapon base 10 days ago. It has now been revealed that a few days before the Israeli attack, there was a serious accident at the base. Reports are surfacing that dozens of Iranian scientists and a number of Syrian military personel where killed when the fittling of a VX nerve gas warhead to a Scud missile, went horribly wrong ( sounds like the hand of God to me ). Surely desparate days lie ahead for God's tiny nation. Its time to pray and intercede as never before.It is not by chance that you are alive and have come to the Kingdom at such a strategically decisive time as this. Don't be caught unaware of the turmoil that YHVH is about to loose on planet Earth. Dont be a silent spectator, but be a co-laborer of God and an ambassador of the Messiah. Be a good soldier in the army of God and get involved as the end-time events unfold before our very eyes. Remember: Failing to prepare is preparation to fail

The following link is to a 40 minute video produced religious Jews who have an amazing understanding of the events prophecied in the Bible and the Talmud. Josie and I strongly recommend you take the time to watch this video - and pass it on to everyone you know - whether they are believers or not. to watch the video click here: http://www.torahohr.net/gogumagog/

The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel . Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to the Muslims, and please remember to pray for our son Jordan, and all of his fellow soldiers in the IDF.

MORNING

MORNING TORAH SCRIPTURES

LEVITCUS 16:1-34 King James Bible
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

NUMBERS 29:7-11 King James Bible
7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:
8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savor; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
9 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
11 One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.

MORNING PROPHET SCRIPTURES

ISAIAH 57:14-58:14 King James Bible
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

ISAIAH 52:13-53:12 King James Bible
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

MORNING NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES

ROMANS 3:21-26 King James Bible
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

HEBREWS 7:1-28 AND 8:1-13 King James Bible
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
King James Bible
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

LEVITICUS 17:1-16 AND 18:1-30 King James Bible
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

AFTERNOON PROPHET SCRIPTURES

JONAH CHAPTERS 1:1-17,2:1-10,3:1-10, 4:1-11 King James Bible
1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

MICAH 7:18-20 King James Bible
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

AFTERNOON NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES

HEBREWS 9:1-28 AND 10:1-39 King James Bible
1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Gulf coast dwellers eye developing storm SEPT 21,07

NEW ORLEANS - Gulf Coast residents kept a watchful eye and the oil industry began making preparations Thursday as forecasters warned that a weather system swirling over waters west of Florida could make landfall as a tropical storm over the weekend. In storm-skittish Louisiana, the governor declared a state of emergency late in the day, putting the National Guard on alert and school buses, ambulances and evacuation shelter workers on standby.Conditions favor the low-pressure system becoming a subtropical or tropical cyclone within the next day, the National Hurricane Center said. A coastal flood watch is in effect through Saturday, the National Weather Service said.The storm's path remains uncertain, but the general consensus is that it will hit between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Alabama's Mobile Bay, said Sam Shamburger, a Weather Service meteorologist. That's about the same route Hurricane Katrina took in 2005.The system could make landfall early Saturday, said Mark Smith, a spokesman for the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

With Louisiana still suffering from the ravages of Katrina and having so many residents living in travel trailers and mobile homes, we feel it's prudent — at this time — less than 36 hours out from the onset of landfall, to recommend the governor make the declaration, Smith said.A tropical storm carries sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph. In comparison, Katrina, which killed hundreds of people and flooded most of New Orleans, made landfall as a Category 3 storm, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.Oil industry workers have left five production platforms in the Gulf, and three drilling rigs have been evacuated, according to the federal Minerals Management Service.In Louisiana, officials were taking no chances. Gov. Kathleen Blanco, in Spain on an economic development trip, ordered the state's Emergency Operations Center to open, and personnel will closely monitor the weather.From a planning and practical standpoint, we have to plan for a level higher than it is to ensure that we have the assets and resources in place should it become more severe, Smith said.In New Orleans, which took the brunt of Katrina's fury and is still vulnerable to flooding, officials urged residents who might need help in the event of an evacuation to register with the city's 311 service.

Now is the time to do so, said Col. Jerry Sneed, emergency office director.

Authorities encouraged residents to clear leaves from storm drains and catch basins on or near their properties to limit flooding in the event of heavy rains.In Mississippi's coastal Hancock County, officials handed out sandbags Thursday, said Brian Adam, director of the county emergency management agency.A telephone message recorded by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour warned residents not to panic but to be prepared. It started going Wednesday night, primarily in parts of Mississippi slammed by Katrina.

NKorea reports 'heavy losses' after intense rains SEPT 21,07

SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea has been pummelled by heavy rains that have caused heavy losses and flooded swathes of cropland for the second time in a month, state media reported. Rice and other crops were lost as rains spawned by Typhoon Wipha inundated western provinces and the capital Pyongyang in the past three days, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).The impoverished communist country is still struggling to recover from last month's devastating floods which left at least 600 people dead or missing and which relief agencies said were the worst in a decade.

North Korea was already reliant on international aid to help make up a food shortfall of one million tonnes, or 20 percent of its needs, even before the August rains.Heavy rains pounded the western part of North Korea between Tuesday and Thursday, an official from the Korea Meteorological Administration in Seoul told AFP.
Up to 36.8 centimetres (14.7 inches) fell in the western provinces of South Hwanghae, South Phyongan and North Hwanghae, including up to 20 centimetres in Sariwon City in one day.Pyongyang, which is due to host only the second-ever inter-Korean summit in early October, has nearly 27 centimetres of rain in the past two days.The official, citing figures from North Korea's meteorological authorities, said the rains had almost ceased as of Friday morning.KCNA admitted the downpours had brought heavy losses in many sectors of the economy.Some provincial areas damaged by last month's floods were hit hard again, KCNA said.Pyongyang's Chunggang TV said hundreds of hectares of crops were flooded by swollen rivers.

Rice and other crops waiting to be harvested were lost, as vast areas of farm land were inundated again by downpours which fell even as the country has yet to recover from damaged inflicted by the monsoon rains last month, the station reported.The clearing and terracing of hillsides to create more cropland is a major reason for the periodic severe flooding.

Arabs push through U.N. watchdog vote against Israel
Thu Sep 20, 3:45 PM By Mark Heinrich

VIENNA (Reuters) - Arab and other Islamic nations, targeting Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal, pushed through a U.N. atomic watchdog resolution on Thursday calling on all Middle East nations to renounce atomic weapons.The unusual vote was 53-2 but with 47 abstentions by Western and developing states, highlighting reservations that the move politicized the International Atomic Energy Agency's work.
The decision was non-binding but symbolized tensions over Israel's presumed nuclear might and shunning of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and it frayed the traditional consensus culture of the Vienna-based IAEA.Israel is widely assumed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, though it has never confirmed or denied it.A similar resolution urging all Middle East nations to adopt IAEA safeguards on nuclear work passed overwhelmingly at last year's IAEA general assembly, with only Israel and top ally the United States opposed, as they were again on Thursday.Egypt reintroduced the resolution this year seeking full consensus but attached two new clauses that prompted Israel to demand a vote and European, other Western and non-aligned developing nations to abstain.One clause urged all nations in the Middle East, pending creation of a nuclear weapons-free zone (NWFZ) there, not to make or test nuclear arms or let them be deployed on their soil. The other urged big nuclear arms powers not to foil such a step.The new language threatened to bring new political issues into the IAEA that would ultimately detract from the technical role the IAEA plays in safeguarding nuclear material, said a Western diplomat whose delegation abstained.

AVOID DOUBLE STANDARDS, EGYPT SAYS

Egyptian ambassador Ehab Fawzy said the U.N. General Assembly passed the same measure by consensus and IAEA members should follow suit to seek universal compliance with the NPT and avoid double standards in the Middle East.Israel bemoaned the vote, saying that while a NWFZ was a commendable ideal, we can have no illusions as long as some Arab neighbors continue not to recognize the Jewish state, with Islamist Iran openly calling for its elimination.Without peaceful relations in the region, any steps diminishing security margins should be mutual. You aim high but start modestly with confidence-building, inevitably a long and enduring process, said Israeli envoy Israel Michaeli.Iran, under U.N. sanctions for refusing to halt a nuclear energy program seen as a possible covert bid for atom bombs, told the assembly that whoever opposed the resolution betrayed a discriminatory approach to Middle East security.Arab diplomats point to a chronic imbalance of power in the Middle East caused by Israeli might and say it breeds instability and spurs others to seek mass-destruction weaponry.European diplomats said their missions abstained because, while they backed universal IAEA non-proliferation controls in the Middle East, the amended resolution flouted the agency's non-political ethos and sought to isolate a member state.

The IAEA is not the place to solve complex Middle East political problems. This measure was not about finding rational solutions, or any consensus, but to score points and antagonize, said a senior European Union diplomat.The issue was expected to split the assembly again on its last day on Friday when Arabs intended to revive a resolution declaring Israel a threat and demanding it use atomic energy only for peaceful ends and join the NPT.A year ago, Western nations sponsored a no-action ballot that prevented a vote on the threat resolution.The sole EU nation to vote for Thursday's resolution was staunchly anti-nuclear Ireland. China, India, Russia, Japan, Latin American and some African nations also voted yes.(additional reporting by Karin Strohecker)

First cholera case confirmed in Baghdad By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer Thu Sep 20, 5:19 PM ET

BAGHDAD - The World Health Organization confirmed on Thursday the first cholera case in Baghdad since 2003, raising fears the disease is spreading from the north of the country where it has struck more than 1,000 people. A 25-year-old woman from eastern Baghdad was found to have cholera after she turned up at a hospital with severe diarrhea, said Dr. Naeema al-Gasseer, the WHO's representative in Iraq.Cholera is a gastrointestinal disease that is typically spread by drinking contaminated water and can cause severe diarrhea that, in extreme cases, can lead to fatal dehydration.

The disease broke out in Iraq in mid-August, but had been confined to northern Iraq, affecting the provinces of Sulaimaniyah, Irbil and Tamim, which is home to the oil-rich city of Kirkuk. At least 10 people have died, according to WHO.Several suspected cholera cases also have been reported in Diyala province, north of Baghdad, but al-Gasseer said none had been confirmed.Cholera is endemic to Iraq, with about 30 cases registered each year. But the last time there was an epidemic in the country was in 1999 when 20 cases were discovered in one day, said Adel Muhsin, the Health Ministry's inspector-general.Al-Gasseer said health authorities were concerned the disease could spread because of the movement of people within Iraq's borders. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people have been forced to flee their homes because of violence.

A disease that would otherwise be easily treatable has been made all the more dangerous because of Iraq's precarious security situation following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.We need to look at safe water, safe import of food, hygiene, the network of water and the network of sewage disposal, al-Gasseer said in a telephone interview.The latest WHO report dated Sept. 14 reported a total of 24,532 cases of people with symptoms of cholera such as diarrhea and vomiting in the northern provinces. Out of those, laboratory tests have confirmed 1,055 cases of cholera.

It said 10 people have died — nine in Sulaimaniyah and one in Tamim.

Al-Gasseer also said some 100,000 tons of chlorine were being held up at Iraq's border with Jordan, apparently because of fears the chemical could be used in explosives. She urged authorities to release it for use in decontaminating water supplies.Insurgents in the country staged several chlorine truck bombings this year, killing scores of Iraqis.Muhsin confirmed such concerns were holding up the border shipment but said he was told the problem was solved and that the chlorine would arrive soon. Chlorine will be added in higher doses to Baghdad's water supply as a precaution against cholera, Muhsin said.His teams recently tested drinking water across the capital and discovered chlorine levels on 20 locations were inadequate to prevent cholera. Also, several ice factories were closed in Iraq because of cholera concerns, he said.The Health Ministry would continue checking drinking water in all Iraqi cities, Muhsin told The Associated Press, and teams would inspect ice factories and ice cream makers.Each hospital in Iraq set up a special ward for diarrhea-stricken patients and the Health Ministry also launched an ad campaign, with 250,000 posters and 5 million leaflets printed to educate and warn the people about cholera, Muhsin said.Associated Press writer Katarina Kratovac in Baghdad contributed to this report.

C$1=US$1 for first time in 31 years
Thu Sep 20, 6:33 PM By Louise Egan and Cameron French

OTTAWA/TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar hit parity with the U.S. dollar for the first time in 31 years on Thursday and is expected to remain strong, delighting Canadians used to being mocked for their northern peso.The loonie, so called because of the bird engraved on the one-dollar coin, capped a 62 percent rise from 2002 on the back of booming commodity prices and a deepening disenchantment with the greenback.Canada, a major oil producer, is benefiting from record high oil prices and a China-led building boom that has boosted base metal prices.The huge increase in commodity prices in general have fed the acceleration of the Canadian dollar, said Carlos Leitao, chief economist at Laurentian Bank of Canada.The fact that economic growth in Asia and in general has accelerated has fed this large appetite for natural resources, particularly energy, which we have a lot of.But the strong currency is seen as a huge threat to Canadian exporters and the parity benchmark adds to pressure on the Conservative government to help out manufacturers. Over 80 percent of Canada's exports are sold to the United States.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty declined to talk the currency down, saying the real story was the dramatic decline in the U.S. dollar, but he said the rapid rise by the Canadian dollar also reflected the strongest economic fundamentals in the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations.Clearly they (the markets) are looking at the strength of the Canadian economy, he told a crush of reporters.The high currency helps manufacturers buy equipment but the suddenness of its rise has put pressure on them, he said. He also acknowledged people had lost jobs but said they were finding other good employment because of economic strength.The resource boom has coincided with the U.S. dollar's own broad-based decline, following the collapse of the tech bubble in 2001 and the growing U.S. budget and trade deficits, which contrast with Canada's surpluses.The final push to the key level for Canada on Thursday came as the greenback hit a record low against the euro.The momentum for Canada also comes from the narrowing of the spread between U.S. and Canadian interest rates after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points this week to 4.75 percent, bringing it closer to the Bank of Canada's 4.50 percent key rate.The currency crept just above the US$1 level Thursday morning, and went as high as C$0.9992 to the U.S. dollar, or US$1.0008, according to the Bank of Canada. The currency finished the session at C$1.0013 to the U.S. dollar, or 99.87 U.S. cents.
The last time the two currencies were at par was in November 1976, the year Montreal hosted the Summer Olympics and Pierre Trudeau was prime minister.

NO STOPPING THE LOONIE

Dealers expect the loonie to continue to stay near par or above that, but were divided over just how high it will go and how long the rally will last.Once parity is achieved, there is nothing stopping the loonie, said Martin Lefebvre, senior economist at Desjardins Securities.Steve Butler, currency strategist at Scotia Capital, said, I don't want to say, well we're going to C$0.95 (to the U.S. dollar) or we're going to C$0.90, because it's much too soon to call a top, but I do think we have some further room for Canada to appreciate.But most dealers who spoke to Reuters said the soaring loonie would not be sustained through 2008.In the longer term, the U.S. dollar will have to rebound at some point, said Dustin Reid, senior foreign exchange strategist at ABN AMRO in Chicago. It can't continue into oblivion forever.The Canadian currency's climb from a low of 61.75 U.S. cents in 2002 has been embraced by a country that often feels itself in the economic and cultural shadow of its more powerful southern neighbor.A straw poll of Canadians in central Ottawa showed their mood was as bright as the sunny weather.There's definitely a bit of pride. I have some American friends and they're always saying 'I got a Canadian quarter the other day. You owe me 10 cents'. So now it's like Yeah, yeah, we're even now, said technical analyst Matthew Mellor.(Additional reporting by Randall Palmer, David Ljunggren)

Rice calls for serious talks between Israel, Palestinians at peace conference Thu Sep 20, 10:00 AM By By Karin Laub, The Associated Press

RAMALLAH, West Bank - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday that Israel and the Palestinians must draft a document that lays the foundations for serious negotiations at a coming U.S.-sponsored Mideast conference. The Palestinians want the conference, tentatively set for November, to yield an outline for a peace deal complete with a timetable, while Israel wants just a declaration of intent. Key Arab states, such as Saudi Arabia, have said they would only attend if concrete results are achieved. Rice has not said whether the conference would address the hardest issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the borders of a Palestinian state, a solution for Palestinian refugees and the status of disputed Jerusalem. In preparatory talks with Israel, the Palestinians have been pushing for a detailed document addressing these core issues ahead of the conference. Israel has said it prefers a vaguer declaration, saying it is premature to discuss the thorniest issues at the core of the Mideast conflict. Palestinian leaders pressed Rice about the goal of the meeting. Rice said that whatever the final nature of the document, it must lay foundations for serious negotiations.

The conference has to be substantive and advance the cause of a Palestinian state, Rice told a joint news conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Participants must not simply meet for the sake of meeting, she said. Before the meeting, Abbas aides said he would urge Rice to invite all relevant Arab states to the conference, including Syria and Lebanon, and not to set a date for the gathering unless a successful outcome is assured. The United States has not set a date or agenda for the conference, and it has not announced the invitees. Abbas told the news conference that he believes some Arab countries are hesitant to confirm their attendance because the objectives are not clear. I think many issues need to be clarified and I think it's the duty of the hosts of the conference, he said, referring to the United States. When things are clarified, I think the Arab countries, and I'm not ... speaking on their behalf, will attend that conference. Abbas said he expects the conference to launch serious negotiations with Israel.

We believe the time is right for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as its capital, and for living side by side in peace and security with the state of Israel, Abbas said. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have held periodic talks in recent months and agreed to set up negotiating teams that would try to reach the general outline of a peace deal ahead of the conference. Abbas said he informed Rice of the composition of the Palestinian negotiating team. He didn't announce the names publicly, but his aides said it will be headed by former Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia, who led interim peace talks with Israel in the 1990s. Abbas, meanwhile, said he is to meet next week with U.S. President George W. Bush during the UN General Assembly in New York. The two leaders last met a year ago, also during the General Assembly. Thursday's meetings were overshadowed by Israel's decision a day earlier to designate Hamas-ruled Gaza as hostile territory, accompanied by a threat to cut back vital supplies of fuel and electricity. Abbas has denounced the decision as oppressive and said it would increase the suffering of Gaza's residents. However, Abbas didn't call off peace efforts with Israel in response to the move. And Olmert's office said the decision still required a legal review, suggesting it could be a means to pressure Gaza militants to halt rocket fire. But Israel's threat is likely to reinforce perceptions among Palestinians and their Arab backers that Israel will do as it sees fit regardless of the cost to civilians, and that the U.S. will not block Israel's hand. Asked to comment on the decision Wednesday, Rice said, We will not abandon the innocent Palestinians in Gaza, and indeed will make every effort to deal with their humanitarian needs.But she did not criticize the Israeli move, saying, Hamas is a hostile entity to the United States as well.Abbas, too, is in a bitter struggle with Gaza's Hamas rulers, who seized control of the coastal strip in June and forced him to set up a separate government in the West Bank.

Israel PM confronts critics By Alastair Macdonald and Jeffrey Heller
Thu Sep 20, 10:32 PM ET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert confronted critics within his own party who fear he may concede too much to Palestinians and urged them on Thursday to seize an opportunity to make peace after 60 years of conflict. Addressing his centrist Kadima party hours after the latest round of meetings with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Olmert said he would free more Palestinian prisoners as part of measured gestures toward President Mahmoud Abbas as they try to agree terms for a U.S.-sponsored peace conference.Rice said Olmert and Abbas had come a very, very long way since she hosted a frosty meeting between them last February in Jerusalem and she was optimistic Palestinians and Israelis would agree to a joint document on the tough issues that divide them before the conference.

There is clearly a kind of focus and commitment on the part of both of the leaders as well as the people who are working most closely with them to try and get this document done," Rice told reporters before a refueling stop in Shannon.During a 36-hour diplomatic push, she assured Abbas the gathering penciled in for November near Washington should put the Palestinians firmly on the path to statehood.Olmert has been accused in Israel, even by some allies, of preparing to achieve that by handing over parts of Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, known to Israelis as Judea and Samaria.In remarks going to the heart of problems all Israeli leaders have faced in winning support for peace moves, Olmert told a noisy party conference: I know the reigning opinion in some circles is that we need to wait ... that we mustn't rush or nurture an atmosphere that will lead to serious negotiations.Those who think that always find excuses ... to avoid seizing opportunities and not look for real chances to break the ice between us and the Palestinians. I do not share this view.He noted the continuing hostility of Hamas and contrasted that to Abbas's new government in the West Bank, which has reopened discussions with Israel following the Islamist group's violent seizure of the Gaza Strip in June.In Washington, the White House said that President George W. Bush plans to meet Abbas in New York on Monday to continue discussions on helping the Palestinian Authority and on issues related to an eventual two-state solution of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.

HORIZON OF HOPE

On the eve of the Jewish state's most solemn public holiday Yom Kippur, Olmert noted the rifts in public opinion but vowed to stick to Kadima's electoral commitment to peace talks.I don't aim to foster a split among us or in the Israeli public. I know the future of Judea and Samaria reaches deep into our soul and that differences among us can tear apart the most delicate and vital fabric of our life, he said.
But I pledge to do my utmost to expand the horizon of hope for a better life and a future of peace and security for the people of Israel.A government official said more than 100 Palestinians, mostly members of Abbas's secular Fatah faction, would be freed, adding to 250 released in July. Some 10,000 remain in jail.Olmert laid out a cautious program for further meetings to build support for the international conference.Some analysts question his ability to win Israeli support for major concessions. Some also question the prime minister's will to conclude any deal, arguing he may see benefit in prolonging the process to fend off domestic opposition and pressure from Washington for Israel to aid the Palestinians.

Palestinians complain that Olmert's offer to work out a joint declaration of principles on steps to statehood does not go beyond previous peace efforts and Abbas repeated on Thursday he wants the meeting to set a timeline for settling core issues. A timeline isn't wise at this point, but we will see if one is helpful later, Rice said. It is clear that they are going to address the core issues that relate to the establishment of a Palestinian state.(Additional reporting by Mohammed Assadi and Sue Pleming in Ramallah/Shannon, Adam Entous and Ari Rabinovitch in Jerusalem and Jeremy Pelofsky in Washington)

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

Israel, U.S. shared data on suspected nuclear site: SEPT 21,07

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Before it decided to strike Syria, Israel shared intelligence with President George W. Bush this summer indicating that its neighbor was getting help from North Korea on a nuclear facility, The Washington Post reported on Friday.

The White House was deeply troubled by Israel's assertion that North Korea was assisting Syria's nuclear ambition, but opted against an immediate response because of concern over negotiations on Pyongyang's nuclear program, the Post reported, citing U.S. government sources.Ultimately, however, the United States is believed to have given Israel some corroboration of the original intelligence before the air raid on September 6, the Post said, citing the sources.The Post quoted its sources as saying that Israel hit the Syrian facility in the dead of night to minimize possible casualties.The U.S. sources would discuss the Israeli intelligence, which included satellite imagery, only on condition of anonymity, and many details about the North Korean-Syrian connection remain unknown, the Post reported.Bush on Thursday refused to answer repeated questions about reports that Israel conducted air strikes in Syria.I'm not going to comment on the matter, Bush said, brushing aside several questions during a White House news conference.

Israel has also refused to talk about the reported raid.

Syrian officials have said that their air defenses forced Israeli jets to flee, dropping bombs harmlessly in the desert and has said it could retaliate for the September 6 violation of its territory.Damascus has denied reports it may have received North Korean nuclear aid. North Korea has also denied any such cooperation.

SHABBAT (SABBATH) NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES

ROMANS CHAPTERS 5:1-21 AND 6:1-23 King James Bible
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hurricane Ivo forms off Mexico SEPT 20,07

MEXICO CITY - A Pacific storm strengthened into a hurricane late Wednesday but it was expected to weaken, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane Ivo, centered about 570 miles south of the Baja California Peninsula, was forecast to head northwest, then take a clockwise turn toward the Baja while weakening, the National Hurricane Center said.Ivo had sustained winds of about 86 mph late Wednesday.
While the current forecast shows it turning toward land, the Hurricane Center said the forecast past three days was highly uncertain.

Typhon Wipha weakens in China; 7 killed SEPT 20,07

SHANGHAI, China - Typhoon Wipha weakened as it slammed China with strong winds and torrential rains, officials said Thursday. At least seven people were reported killed as the storm destroyed thousands of homes and triggered landslides. Wipha was downgraded from a typhoon to a tropical storm Wednesday after it hit land in southern Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Five people died in landslides, reports in state media said Thursday. News reports said two other deaths were blamed on the storm: a Shanghai man was electrocuted and a Taiwan construction worker died when scaffolding collapsed. Another three people were reported missing.Weather photos showed Wipha spread over a large area centered on eastern China's Shandong province Thursday. The storm was forecast to pass over the Yellow Sea toward the Korean peninsula.A total of 2.7 million people were evacuated from coastal or flooded areas and unsafe housing in Shanghai and other areas affected by the storm, Xinhua said.The storm destroyed thousands of houses, wrecked fish ponds and disrupted power to more than 100 communities, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and provincial officials reported.

Preliminary estimates put the damage at $638 million.

Shanghai, a city of 20 million, closed schools, ferries and other transport links following forecasts of torrential rains and strong winds. But the city suffered little damage and by Thursday children returned to school under clear skies.

Wipha is a woman's name in Thai.The storm played havoc with sports events, as well as regional transport.Organizers of the women's World Cup rescheduled Wednesday's Shanghai match between Norway and Ghana to Thursday and moved it to the neighboring city of Hangzhou. Three Wednesday games were rescheduled for Thursday, to allow them to be played simultaneously with other final group matches.

Four dead, four missing after floods in Slovenia Wed Sep 19, 1:47 PM ET

LJUBLJANA (AFP) - Four people died and four were still missing Wednesday, the day after the heaviest rains in 30 years hit Slovenia's northwest, causing flooding and mudslides, state radio said. Two people were killed late Tuesday when a mudslide swept into a house in the Celje region, some 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Ljubljana, and two more died earlier in the day in the Cerklje region, some 60 kilometres (35 miles) northwest of the capital, the station said.Another four people, including a mother and her nine-year-old child, are still missing, the radio quoted local authorities in the region as saying.The rains, which dumped up to 300 litres of water per square metre in only a few hours in some places, were the heaviest registered in the last three decades, the Slovenian Defense and Rescue agency said.The agency said that more than 350 houses had been flooded or damaged in the Gorenjska region and especially in the town of Zelezniki, some 60 kilometres northwest of Ljubljana, where the Sora river inundated the centre, carrying away more than 150 cars.

The Slovenian government promised urgent measures to help local people.

Traffic on many roads in the Gorensjka region was still disrupted Wednesday while many villages were without electricity or drinking water, or were cut off because of damaged roads.The Sora river also swept away 11 out of 13 wooden buildings that were part of the Franja Hospital museum, built by anti-Nazi fighters during World War II in a nearby mountaneous region.Slovenia wants the museum to be included in UNESCO's world heritage list.

Iran leader denied on WTC wreath request By PAT MILTON, Associated Press Writer SEPT 20,07

NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked permission to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site when he comes to New York City next week, but the request was denied, a police official said Wednesday. The U.S. also has denied a visa to Iran's United Nations ambassador in Geneva to attend next week's General Assembly meeting because he was involved in the 1979 U.S. hostage crisis, a U.N. official said.Ahmadinejad, who is arriving Sunday to address the United Nations' General Assembly, had asked this month for permission to visit the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, police spokesman Paul Browne said.The request to enter the fenced-in site was rejected because of ongoing construction there, Browne said.

Requests for the Iranian president to visit the immediate area would also be opposed by the NYPD on security grounds, Browne said.The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters Wednesday that the United States would not support Iran's attempt to use the site for a photo op.Iran can demonstrate its seriousness about concern with regard to terrorism by taking concrete actions, such as dropping support for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and suspending their uranium enrichment program, Khalilzad said.Browne said Ahmadinejad had asked permission from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, U.S. Secret Service and police department. The police and the Secret Service provide security to visiting heads of state.The Port Authority, which owns the trade center site and is the only agency that could grant permission to go inside, said it attended a meeting with police regarding dignitary visits, not specifically about Ahmadinejad. At that meeting, it was determined that no dignitaries would be allowed inside the site due to ongoing construction, said Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman.It wasn't clear whether Ahmadinejad wanted to descend to the base of the trade center site, where the twin towers once stood, or lay a wreath on a public sidewalk outside the site.

Mohammad Mir Ali Mohammadi, spokesman for the Iranian mission to the U.N., said he was not notified offically that Ahmadinejad would not be allowed at the site, but said it was unfortunate.President Ahmadinejad intended to lay a wreath at the site of ground zero in order to pay tribute to the victims of the terrorists attack of Sept. 11, 2001. We are hopeful that we can still work something out with the police department, he said.White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said a visit to ground zero is a matter for the city of New York, but it seems more than odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero.
It was not clear what role Ali Reza Moaiyeri, Iran's U.N. ambassador in Geneva, played in the 1979 hostage crisis. The U.N. official who said his visa was denied spoke on condition of anonymity because there has been no public announcement.
Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, said, although we don't comment about specific visa cases we certainly would not allow a person into the United States who has taken Americans as hostages.Iran and the U.S. have not had diplomatic relations since Washington cut its ties with Tehran during the hostage crisis in which U.S. diplomats were held hostage for 444 days. The Bush administration has accused Iran of arming Shiite Muslim militants in Iraq and seeking to develop nuclear weapons.In a television appearance earlier this week, Ahmadinejad said his country wanted peace and friendship with the United States, as tensions continued to mount between the two countries.The deputy commander of Iran's air force said Wednesday that plans have been drawn up to bomb Israel if the Jewish state attacks Iran, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency. The United States and its key European allies are calling for a new round of U.N. sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program, but Russia has warned against the use of force in Iran and opposes new sanctions to punish Tehran.

Rice to meet Abbas in search of accord SEPT 20,07

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Condoleezza Rice takes her shuttle diplomacy to the Palestinian leadership on Thursday as she works to narrow their differences with Israel before Washington hosts a major Middle East peace conference. The U.S. secretary of state has found growing interest in intensifying the dialogue, a senior aide said after she met Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
But all sides have given little away on the specifics of their talks and details of the planned gathering remain unclear.It could range from zero to a full-blown agreement. They are not in a position yet to put a label on it, the senior State Department official told reporters when asked how Rice could reconcile seemingly contradictory Israeli and Palestinian views of what the conference near Washington might achieve.Labels are really not a very good way to capture what is going on, he said, adding: This appears to be a serious discussion about fundamental issues.
Olmert, who will meet Rice again on Thursday after she has spoken with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, has cautioned against expecting more than a declaration of principles for establishing a Palestinian state.
Abbas has made clear he wants a deal that goes beyond previous agreements on the broad outlines of how the 60-year-old conflict can be resolved and sets a framework for resolving core disputes on borders, security and the status of Jerusalem and of Palestinian refugees from territory that is now Israel.

ENEMY GAZA

Rice may hear concerns from Abbas and his prime minister, Salam Fayyad, over Israel's decision on Wednesday to declare the Gaza Strip an enemy entity, as well as about the pace of Israeli moves to ease movement for people in the West Bank. Fayyad's government has already said it wants Washington to press Israel not to cut energy and other supplies to the 1.5 million people of Gaza, despite hostility between the leaders in the West Bank and the Hamas Islamists who seized power in the coastal enclave in June after routing forces loyal to Abbas.Rice, who U.S. officials said was unaware of Israel's plan when she flew in, said Washington shared Israeli opposition to Hamas but expected humanitarian supplies to continue. She also said the internal Palestinian conflict should not jeopardize plans to found a single state in both the West Bank and Gaza.The conference, penciled in for November 15 or shortly thereafter, forms a major part of U.S. President George W. Bush's strategy to promote stability in the Middle East before he leaves office in a little over a year, ending a presidency marked by the violence in Iraq since the U.S. invasion.

He has encouraged Arab states to attend but several have said they will only do so if they see it producing agreement on fundamental issues for Palestinians. Also unclear is whether states regarded as hostile, notably Syria, should be invited.
Highlighting uncertainty surrounding the nature of the gathering, when asked whether Syria would be welcome Rice told a news conference simply: We haven't invited anyone yet.(Reporting by Sue Pleming and Alastair Macdonald in Jerusalem)

Iran: Retaliation for any Israeli attack By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer SEPT 20,07

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran has drawn up plans to bomb Israel if the Jewish state should attack, the deputy air force commander said Wednesday, adding to tensions already heated up by an Israeli airstrike on Syria and Western calls for more U.N. sanctions against Tehran. Other Iranian officials also underlined their country's readiness to fight if the U.S. or Israel attacks, a reflection of concerns in Tehran that demands by the U.S. and its allies for Iran to curtail its nuclear program could escalate into military action.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Sunday that the international community should prepare for the possibility of war in the event Iran obtains atomic weapons, although he later stressed the focus is still on diplomatic pressures.The comments come as the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, Adm. William Fallon, is touring Persian Gulf countries seeking to form a united front of Arab allies against Iran's growing influence in the region.Iran has periodically raised alarms over the possibility of war, particularly when the West brings up talk of sanctions over Tehran's rejection of a U.N. Security Council demand that it halt uranium enrichment.We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bombers if this regime (Israel) makes a silly mistake, Iran's deputy air force commander, Gen. Mohammad Alavi, said in an interview with the semiofficial Fars news agency.Alavi warned that Israel is within range of Iran's medium-range missiles and fighter-bombers.

The Iranian air force had no immediate comment on the Fars report. But Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar told the official IRNA news agency that we keep various options open to respond to threats. ... We will make use of them if required.
Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards also weighed in, saying Iran has prepared its people for a possible confrontation against any aggression.White House press secretary Dana Perino said Alavi's comment is not constructive and it almost seems provocative.Israel doesn't seek a war with its neighbors. And we all are seeking, under the U.N. Security Council resolutions, for Iran to comply with its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, she said.During a stop in Jerusalem, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Washington is committed to diplomacy, but added that the U.S. hasn't taken any military options off the table. She said that it can't be business as usual with Iran, a country whose president has spoken of wiping Israel off the map.For diplomacy to work, she said, it has to have both a way for Iran to pursue a peaceful resolution of this issue and it has to have teeth, and the U.N. Security Council and other measures are providing teeth.Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said his government took Iran's threat very seriously and so does the international community.Unfortunately we are all too accustomed to this kind of bellicose, extremist and hateful language coming from Iran, he said.

Israeli warplanes in 1981 destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor being built by Saddam Hussein's regime, and many in the region fear Israel or the U.S. could mount airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities if Tehran doesn't bow to Western demands to cease uranium enrichment.Iran, which says it isn't trying to produce material for atomic bombs but rather fuel for reactors that would generate electricity, has said in the past that Israel would be the first retaliatory target for any attack. But Alavi's comments were the first to mention specific contingency plans.David Ochmanek, an international policy analyst with the U.S.-based RAND Corporation, said Iran has the capability to attack Israel with a limited number of ballistic missiles, but Israel could potentially inflict greater damage on Iran. If Israelis attacked Iran it would be with high precision weapons that could destroy military targets, he said. They could destroy Iran's nuclear reactor and do damage to the enrichment.The Iranian response would be quite different, Ochmanek said. It would be small numbers of highly innaccurate missiles and the intention would be to do this for psychological purposes rather than to destroy discrete targets. It's an asymmetrical relationship.A top Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander warned earlier this week that U.S. bases around Iran would also be legitimate targets.

Today, the United States is within Iran's sight and all around our country, but it doesn't mean we have been encircled. They are encircled themselves and are within our range, Gen. Mohammed Hasan Kousehchi told IRNA. U.S. forces are in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the Persian Gulf, Kuwait hosts a major U.S. base, the U.S. 5th Fleet patrols from its base in Bahrain, and the U.S. Central Command is housed in Qatar.
Tensions have been raised by a mysterious Israeli air incursion over Syria on Sept. 6. Israel has placed a tight news blackout on the reported incident, while Syria has said little. U.S. officials said it involved an airstrike on a target. One U.S. official said the attack hit weapons heading for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, an ally of Syria and Iran, but there also has been speculation the Israelis hit a nascent nuclear facility or were studying routes for a possible future strike on Iran. Former Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he was involved from the beginning in the alleged airstrike, the first public mention by an Israeli leader about the incident. Netanyahu, the leader of the parliamentary opposition, did not give further details. Edward Djerejian, founding director of Rice University's Baker Institute, said the accusation that Israel had violated Syrian airspace, and possibly launched an attack on Syrian territory, was putting new concerns on an already tense situation. The region is very nervous, said Djerejian, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Syria.

With Iran adding to the talk of military options, Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns called Wednesday for U.N. Security Council members and U.S. allies to help push for a third round of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. But Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, said Moscow opposes new sanctions, adding they could hurt a recent agreement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency aimed at resolving questions about the Iranian program. Two U.N. resolutions imposing sanctions on Iran have failed to persuade the country to suspend uranium enrichment. Burns said he would host a Friday meeting of the Security Council's permanent members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France. Talks on a new resolution are also expected next week in New York, when world leaders attend the annual ministerial session of the U.N. General Assembly.

Bush calls for expansion of spy law By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer SEPT 20,07

FORT MEADE, Md. - President Bush said Wednesday he wants Congress to expand and make permanent a law that temporarily gives the government more power to eavesdrop without warrants on suspected foreign terrorists. Without such action, Bush said, our national security professionals will lose critical tools they need to protect our country.It will be harder to figure out what our enemies are doing to train, recruit and infiltrate operatives into America, the president said during a visit to the super-secret National Security Agency's headquarters. Without these tools, our country will be much more vulnerable to attack.The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act governs when the government must obtain warrants for eavesdropping from a secret intelligence court. This year's update — approved just before Congress' August break — allows more efficient interceptions of foreign communications.Under the new law, the government can eavesdrop without a court order on communications conducted by a person reasonably believed to be outside the U.S., even if an American is on one end of the conversation — so long as that American is not the intended focus or target of the surveillance.In requesting the change, the Bush administration said technological advances in communications had created a dire gap in the ability to collect intelligence on terrorists.Such surveillance generally was prohibited under the original law if the wiretap was conducted inside the U.S., unless a court approved it. Because of changes in technology, many more foreign communications now flow through the U.S. The new law, known as the Protect America Act, allows those to be tapped without a court order.

Civil liberties groups and many Democrats say the new changes go too far. Democratic leaders in Congress set the law to expire in six months so that it could be fine-tuned; that process now is beginning on Capitol Hill.Democrats hope for changes that would provide additional oversight when the government eavesdrops on U.S. residents communicating with overseas parties.Sen. Jay Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said lawmakers understand the need to update the law, but also the need to protect the rights and liberties of Americans.For over five years, the president carried out a warrantless surveillance program that ignored the law and the role of court oversight, Rockefeller said. Today, the president continues to seek unchecked surveillance powers that many of us in Congress cannot support. The fact is, the Protect America Act did provide authority for collection, but it did not include sufficient protections for Americans. There's no reason we can't do both, Rockefeller said.The president needs to step up to the plate and show that he is willing to work with Congress to get this important legislation passed.Bush timed his visit to Fort Meade to press his case.The threat from al-Qaida is not going to expire in 135 days, he said, so I call on Congress to make the Protect America Act permanent.He also urged lawmakers to expand the law, not restrict it. One provision particularly important to the administration, but opposed by many Democrats, would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies which may have helped the government conduct surveillance before January 2007 without a court order.

Bush was joined at the podium in an NSA hallway by Vice President Dick Cheney, National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell and others.The president received private briefings from intelligence officials and mingled with employees in the National Threat Operations Center. While cameras and reporters were in the room, the large video screens that lined the walls displayed unclassified information on computer crime and signal intelligence.Along one wall at NSA is a sign that says, We won't back down. We never have. We never will.National Security Agency: http://www.nsa.gov/

Israel declares Gaza enemy entity By ANNE GEARAN, AP Diplomatic Writer
SEPT 20,07

JERUSALEM - Israel declared the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip an enemy entity on Wednesday and said it would cut utilities to the territory. The move complicates a U.S. plan to relaunch peace talks aimed at establishing a separate Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel made the provocative decision hours before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived for talks setting up what President Bush hopes will be a pivotal peace conference this fall. Rice neither endorsed nor criticized Israel's move.Israel did not announce a date for cutting off services. The decision is likely to reinforce perceptions among Palestinians and their Arab backers that Israel will do as it sees fit regardless of the cost to civilians and that the U.S. will not block Israel.Rice said the U.S. is trying to help both sides reach common understanding. But she did not say if the U.S.-sponsored peace meeting will address the hardest issues in the six-decade conflict, including the final borders of a Palestinian state.The U.S. has not said exactly what it wants to achieve from the summit, nor who will attend.Rice wants to recruit Arab states to reinforce the Palestinians in any deal with Israel, but the conference will carry little weight if regional players such as Saudi Arabia choose to sit it out. The meeting also has little chance of success if Israel is seen as unwilling to make hard concessions to the Palestinians and the U.S. is seen an unable to force Israel's hand.The U.S.-sponsored conference is meant to invigorate peace efforts that largely lay fallow during George W. Bush's presidency and set clear guidelines for forming a Palestinian state.

The Gaza designation overshadowed any public talk of peace prospects as Rice began two days of meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.Israel did not inform the U.S. in advance of Wednesday's action, a U.S. diplomat said. Israel has been considering something similar for several weeks, however, to try to halt Palestinian rocket fire on Israeli towns from launching sites in Gaza. The decision lets Israel cut electricity, water and other services that the impoverished, crowded coastal territory depends on Israel to provide.New York-based Human Rights Watch said cutting off fuel and power would violate Israels duty as an occupying power to safeguard the health and welfare of the occupied population and it would also intensify the existing humanitarian crisis.Israel has been carrying out airstrikes and limited ground strikes. It also has sealed Gaza's borders, halting trade, while permitting little more than humanitarian aid into the area.Hamas militants who hold de facto control in Gaza have not been directly involved in the rocket attacks, but the movement has done little to halt the fire. Israel says it holds the group responsible.Rice tried to tread carefully at a press conference with Israel's foreign minister, Tzipi Livni. Grim-faced, Rice said the U.S. will not turn its back on civilians in Gaza and that Hamas is a hostile entity to the United States as well.
The Israeli designation covers all of Gaza, not just Hamas militants who took control in June. The U.S. and Israel regard Hamas as a terrorist organization and refuse to deal with it.

Livni said Israel was not obliged to deliver anything to Gaza beyond humanitarian aid.When it comes to the humanitarian needs, we have our own responsibilities, Livni said. All the needs which are more than humanitarian needs will not be supplied by Israel to Gaza Strip.Livni said the decision is legal. International aid groups said it was unacceptable to blame civilians for the actions of rogue militants.Gisha, a human rights group that works for greater freedom of movement in Gaza, said the action was immoral and illegal, constituting prohibited collective punishment of civilians.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the moderate leader on whom Rice and Israel have pinned reinvigorated hopes for peace, quickly condemned the Israeli move. This oppressive decision will only strengthen the choking embargo imposed on 1.5 million people in the Gaza Strip, increase their suffering and deepen their tragedy, Abbas' office said in a statement. Abbas is in a bitter rivalry with Hamas, which overran forces from his Fatah movement and seized control of Gaza. The takeover ended more than a year of paralysis in Palestinian politics as Fatah and Hamas vied for primacy in a divided government and international aid dried up.
Abbas has installed a new government in the larger and more populous West Bank, but still claims authority over Gaza. An independent Palestinian state would include both territories, which lie on either side of Israel. Among the Israeli officials Rice saw Wednesday was the defense chief, Ehud Barak. He has hinted that Israel may have to relaunch military operations in Gaza more than two years after a unilateral pullout of Israeli forces and settlers. Rice planned to meet with Abbas and other West Bank Palestinians on Thursday. Associated Press writers Laurie Copans and Aron Heller contributed to this report.

Scores ill in Peru meteor crash SEPT 18,07
The crater has been spewing fetid gases, reports say

Some 600 people in Peru have required treatment after an object from space - said to be a meteorite - plummeted to Earth in a remote area, officials say. They say the object left a deep crater after crashing down over the weekend near the town of Carancas in the Andes. People who have visited scene have been complaining of headaches, vomiting and nausea after inhaling gases. A team of scientists is on its way to the site to collect samples and verify whether it was indeed a meteorite.

Afraid

It [the object] is buried in the earth, local resident Heber Mamani told the BBC.
That is why we are asking for an analysis because we are worried for our people. They are afraid. A bull is dead and some other animals are already sick, he said.
The incident began on Saturday night, when people near Carancas in the Puno region, some 1,300km (800 miles) south of Lima, reported seeing a fireball in the sky coming towards them. The object then hit the ground, leaving a 30m (98ft) wide and 6m (20ft) deep crater. The crater spewed what officials described as fetid, noxious gases. The gases are believed to have affected the health of about 600 people who visited the site. Most of the victims have been complaining of headaches, vomiting and nausea. Honorio Campoblanco, one of Peru's leading geologists, called on the authorities to stop people going near the crash site. But he discarded the possibility that the symptoms would have been caused by any form of radiation.

Europe is not a 'threat' Barroso tells UK
18.09.2007 - 08:45 CET | By Honor Mahony

European commission president Jose Manuel Barroso has told UK politicians they have nothing to fear from Europe and they should back the new Reform Treaty. Speaking at the Liberal Democrat annual conference on Monday evening (17 September), Mr Barroso acknowledged the difficulty of the debate on Europe in what is seen as one of the EU's most sceptical member states.Giving a speech on Europe in Britain is like turning up for a 100 metres athletics final, looking up and realising that you have actually been entered for the 100 metres high hurdles.But he urged Britain to lead the debate in Europe rather than taking part from the sidelines.Europe is not full of hidden plots. The more the UK leads the debate, the more you will get out of Europe. Europe is an opportunity not a threat.He also made the case for the EU's proposed Reform Treaty - the subject of heated debate in Britain.We need to modernise our institutions so that they are more democratic and have more coherence externally. We cannot operate as 27 with a system created for 6.Touching on the nerve of the debate in the UK, the commission president said the Reform Treaty is not the constitution.At the moment the UK is locked in an internal political tussle on whether there will be a referendum on the new treaty, with the rest of Europe watching closely.

Opposition Conservatives are trying to push Labour prime minister Gordon Brown into holding the poll - he has so far refused, saying the treaty is sufficiently different to the original constitution, on which the government had previously promised a referendum.The Liberal Democrats last week eased the pressure somewhat on Mr Brown, when leader Menzies Campbell said he did not back a referendum on the treaty. He later said there could be a case for a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU.Mr Barroso's speech was given a standing ovation. However, some pointed out that he was already preaching to the converted - with the liberals traditionally pro-European.His speech is far more needed elsewhere, either at the Tories, if they are prepared to give a fair wind to a positive message from Brussels, or at Labour, with its doubts and hesitations over making a pro-EU case, Peter Riddell, a political commentator in The Times, wrote.

Father of EU constitution issues referendum warning
18.09.2007 - 09:16 CET | By Mark Beunderman

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The architect of the rejected European constitution, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, has criticized ideas by Dutch politicians to hold a referendum on the EU's Reform Treaty.The former chairman of the European Convention - the body of over a hundred politicians which drafted the old EU constitution - said in Brussels on Monday evening (17 September) that he believes a referendum would not be the right way for the Netherlands to ratify the new-look reform treaty. Asked about the ongoing Dutch debate on whether to hold a referendum, he told EUobserver that this is not an appropriate instrument.Mr Giscard argued that referendum campaigns are often dominated by other issues than the question at stake. Something will come up in the course of the debate. People will vote on that other issue instead of on the actual [referendum] question, he said. The ex-president of France was speaking after a debate organized by think-tank Notre Europe, during which he also slammed the Dutch for their attitude on EU symbols in the treaty. The Hague successfully lobbied for symbols such as the 12-star European flag – included in the original constitution – to be scrapped from the new treaty text.This text abandons the symbols of the EU – the flag, the hymn and the motto…. Who demanded this? It was not the countries that ratified the [constitution]. It was not France. It is very interesting who demanded this, Mr Giscard said. The father of the EU constitution said he deplores many of the changes to his project that have made the eventual reform treaty text much more low-profile – such as the degrading of the notion of European citizenship in the text.It is very important to speak about European citizenship, he stated. Where is considered opinion here? he asked criticizing the moves to undermine the idea.

Biggest race in majority voting

Meanwhile Italian politician Giuliano Amato, one of Mr Giscard's former deputies in the EU constitution drafting process, also voiced unhappiness with aspects of the reform treaty in Monday's debate. He said the real constitutional asset of the original constitution had been the inclusion of the EU's Charter of Fundamental rights, a citizens rights catalogue. But in the reform treaty, the UK secured an opt-out from the charter, which according to Mr Amato leads to a clear conclusion.
Anybody saying this treaty is a constitution just wants [UK prime minister] Gordon Brown to lose the next elections, he said referring to UK opposition claims that the reform treaty is essentially the same as the constitution.But Jens-Peter Bonde, a veteran Danish member of the European Parliament, highlighted the similarities between the two documents. The only difference is the presentation – it's the same content, he stated. The legal obligations are the same.The eurosceptic MEP stressed that nothing is new in the reform treaty in terms of real political substance. As the original constitution, the so-called reform treaty removes member states' vetoes in 61 policy areas, he said.This is the biggest race in majority voting we ever had, according to Mr Bonde.

NATO rapid-reaction force hobbled by cuts By Mark John
Mon Sep 17, 1:04 PM ET

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO's flagship rapid reaction force has fallen below full strength less than a year after its launch because over-stretched allies have withdrawn pledges of military assets, NATO sources said on Monday. The NATO Response Force (NRF), brainchild of former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, was conceived to field troops from a pool of up to 25,000 at a few days' notice and is the flagship of NATO efforts to revamp itself after the Cold War.It was declared fully operational last November but alliance sources said it had dropped below full strength after nations in past weeks diverted equipment from it for use in a variety of existing military operations on the ground.There are also divisions within NATO over how the force should be used.

You will not see a press release but we are working on the basis it is not at FOC (full operational capacity). It does not have the heft to do what it set out to do, said a senior NATO officer who spoke on condition of anonymity.Options for NRF are being examined, notably what options need to be looked at to make it more palatable to contribute forces, he said, adding the matter was raised by NATO chiefs of defense who met in the Canadian city of Victoria last week.The officer did not name any nations but noted contributions pledged by the United States last November had been critical to its launch. Among the equipment now withdrawn were long-range air transport and helicopter assets of which the United States has by far the alliance's biggest stock, he added.No U.S. official at NATO headquarters was immediately available for comment.The NRF shortfall is only the latest sign of the growing over-stretch on the West's national armies, many of whom are suffering the strain of deploying troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Africa and the breakaway Serb province of Kosovo.

THEORETICAL?

General Ray Henault, the Canadian who chairs NATO Military Committee, said last week its peace operation in Afghanistan was being hampered by a shortage of troops and that the alliance was continually having to press nations to live up to commitments.
Aside from the United States, the armies of major NATO nations such as Britain and France have for months complained of being stretched too thinly in operations around the globe.Against such operational problems, the shortfalls of the NRF -- which has not been deployed for any of the range of missions it was intended for since being declared fully operational at a summit last November -- may appear theoretical.
But alliance officials say it has exposed a deep rift within NATO about when exactly to use the force, to which NATO nations are expected to devote land, air and sea forces for six months at a time.Some such as France insist it should remain predominantly a rapid reaction force, while others like the Netherlands have suggested it could be used to plug holes in existing operations such as Afghanistan.
Is it a force of last resort? Or is it there to be actually used? said one alliance source, noting some nations were wary about deploying it because of the drain on national resources.The debate is expected to focus high on the agenda of a meeting of NATO defense ministers in the Netherlands next month.

SKorea dismisses NKorea-Syria nuke deal Mon Sep 17, 10:30 AM ET

SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea's foreign minister dismissed allegations that North Korea was cooperating with Syria on a nuclear weapons program, a news report said Monday. The comments by South Korean Foreign Minister Song Min-soon came amid suspicions of North Korean cooperation with Syria on a nuclear facility, which arose after an alleged Israeli air raid earlier this month on unknown Syrian targets.
Now, no one is talking about the suspicions regarding North Korea and Syria with a clear basis, Yonhap news agency quoted Song as telling reporters. The Foreign Ministry said it could not immediately confirm the report.A senior U.S. nuclear official said Friday that North Koreans were in Syria and that Syria may have had contacts with secret suppliers to obtain nuclear equipment.Andrew Semmel, acting U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear nonproliferation policy, did not identify the suppliers, but also said he could not exclude that the network run by disgraced Pakistan nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan may have been involved.

However, Song said Monday that Syria does not have a nuclear facility as far as he knows, according to Yonhap.A state-run newspaper in Syria said in an editorial Sunday referring to the nuclear allegations that the magnitude of these false accusations might be a prelude to a new aggression against Syria. Al-Thawra said suggestion of such nuclear cooperation was a flagrant lie.

19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13 And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.

28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
September 14, 2007
Dear Friend of The Fellowship,

I’ve spoken before about the amazing story of the Bnei Menashe, descendants of the tribe of Manasseh, one of Israel’s lost tribes. Exiled from the land of Israel 2,700 years ago, their wanderings eventually took them to a remote area of northeast India, near the border with Myanmar (formerly Burma). Here they have been living according to the tenets of biblical Judaism and longing to return to Israel, their biblical homeland. Although The Fellowship’s On Wings of Eagles program has been actively helping the Bnei Menashe make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) and fulfill the prophetic return of Jews to Israel, some 4,500 still remain in India.

Recently I returned to India to visit these dear people and reassure them of The Fellowship’s support. While my trip was short, it was encouraging nonetheless. I was able to visit Bnei Menashe synagogues, and felt privileged to be invited into their homes. In my private conversations with them, there were two recurring themes: Their gratitude to learn that American Christians are helping them return to Israel, and their intense and enduring desire to come home to the Holy Land.

There have been some bumps along the road for the Bnei Menashe, which made my trip and offers of reassurance all the more important. Governments, unlike individuals, tend to move slowly and in Israel, a number of governmental changes have made it difficult to secure the approvals to move forward on this important project with the speed we have desired. In India, strict anti-missionary laws make it difficult for the Israeli rabbinate, Israel’s chief ruling religious authority, to carry on the ceremonies that allow the Bnei Menashe to be accepted as Jews under Israeli law with full citizenship upon their arrival.

And then there is the matter of funding. Our commitment to Jewish immigrants extends far beyond simply bringing them to Israel. The klitah (resettlement) process includes a broad range of services to help the Bnei Menashe successfully establish their new life as full citizens in Israel. It will cost approximately $7,500 per person to help them make aliyah and provide their basic expenses for one full year, including language and job training, housing, schooling, and financial assistance to help them through this time of transition.

We do indeed have a huge responsibility and task before us to ensure that Bnei Menashe are given the opportunity to return to Zion. But I have found over the years that, with God’s help, we can truly work miracles when we work together. Let us today recommit ourselves to praying for God’s comfort for these people who patiently wait to return to their biblical homeland, and to searching for ways to raise funds for their return to Israel. With God’s help in our efforts, when the final chapter of the story of the Bnei Menashe is written, I am certain it will find them enjoying a blessed existence in Israel, their biblical homeland and all thanks to you, who have acted faithfully in partnership with God.

With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President International Fellowship of Christians And Jews.

ISRAELS TROUBLE

JEREMIAH 30:7
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble;(ISRAEL) but he shall be saved out of it.

DANIEL 12:1,4
1 And at that time shall Michael(ISRAELS WAR ANGEL) stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:(ISRAEL) and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation(May 14,48) even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,(WORLD TRAVEL,IMMIGRATION) and knowledge shall be increased.(COMPUTERS,CHIP IMPLANTS ETC)

Livni Best, Olmert Worst Politician in Israel
September 18, 2007

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Foreign affairs minister Tzipi Livni is the most popular politician in Israel, according to a poll by Teleseker published in Maariv. On a scale of one to 10, respondents rate Livni’s performance at 6.1 points.
Internal security minister Avi Dichter is second with 5.2 points, followed by transport minister Shaul Mofaz and strategic affairs minister Avigdor Lieberman with 5.0 points each, interior minister Meit Sheetrit with 4.9 points, and infrastructure minister Benjamin Ben Eliezer with 4.6 points. Labour leader and current defence minister Ehud Barak and Kadima leader and current prime minister Ehud Olmert hold lower numbers, at 4.2 points and 3.2 points respectively. In March 2006, Israeli voters renewed their legislature or Knesset. Kadima, founded by former prime minister Ariel Sharon and led by Olmert, secured 29 seats. Labour, the Retired People’s Party (Gil) and the International Organization of Torah-observant Sephardic Jews (Shas) joined Kadima in a coalition. In October, the Israeli cabinet approved the addition of Israel Our Home to the government. Olmert’s coalition now has the support of 78 of the Knesset’s 120 members. On Sept. 13, Livni urged the United Nations (UN) to implement tougher sanctions on Iran if it continues building its nuclear program, saying, There must be no delays. The world must take all the necessary action. (...) While we are talking, Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons.

In December 2006 and March 2007, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposed sanctions against Iran after it failed to stop uranium enrichment—a process needed both to make nuclear weapons and produce electricity. After being branded as part of an axis of evil by U.S. president George W. Bush in January 2002, Iran has contended that its nuclear program aims to produce energy, not weapons.

Now the scriptures that a week in Israel history is 7YEARS.

Heres the scripture 1 week = 7 yrs Genesis 29:27-29
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Isn"t this interesting it comes from the same Person whos name was changed to Israel,(JACOB) and Israel and Jerusalem is the places dealt with in Daniel 9:24-27.

GENESIS 32:27-28
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (ISRAEL) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,(7X7=49 YRS) and threescore and two weeks:(62X7=434 YRS) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (69x7=483 YRS TO THIS POINT, THE FINAL 7 YR TREATY IS IN THE NEXT VERSE TO FULFILL THE 490 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY.
9:27 And he (THE FUTURE ROMAN PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3RD TEMPLE DESECRATED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.(WW3)

Special Briefing on Middle East Peace Process
C. David Welch, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs
Washington, DC - September 17, 2007 - (3:30 p.m. EST)

MR. CASEY: Thank you all for joining us for I think this is briefing number three on the day, at least for some of you here. We did want to give David Welch, our Assistant Secretary for Near East Asian Affairs, an opportunity to talk with you in advance of the Secretary's trip to the region, give you a little update on some of the things he's been doing as well as some of our expectations for that trip.

So, David, just go right to it.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Okay, folks. I didn't realize you had other briefings. I thought I was the only one delaying you today, so --

MR. CASEY: We know that all our briefings are special, David.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Okay. And --

QUESTION: Depending on what they tell us.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Depending on what they tell you. Well, then, I will not be special. I'll just be me.

Let me just say a few words about kind of the schedule, because I think maybe it will help you ask a few questions too and then I will be brief on this because I know you want to ask the questions and I need to go do a couple of things that came up during the course of the day.

The Secretary travels tomorrow and she's going to do parallel meetings with the Israelis and Palestinians. Then we return here and we have a busy weekend, which kind of starts our General Assembly calendar, but for me, more importantly, has a number of NEA related items. On Saturday, we have meetings related to Iraq and on Sunday, we do two separate sessions of the Quartet at a ministerial level. One of those is with Mr. Blair coming and presenting the results of his first serious swing through the area. And then in the evening, we have a meeting with certain members of the Arab Follow-Up Committee and the Quartet.

The next day, Monday the 24th, is a meeting of something called the AHLC, the Ad-Hoc Liaison Committee. This hasn't met, I think, since December of '05. This is the -- an organization that is chaired by the Norwegians and it brings together the principal donors to the Palestinians and again, it seems like an appropriate time to have this discussion. Again, that's the ministerial level. It's going to be a -- the meeting itself will be longer than just the ministerial session, but Secretary Rice will go to the ministerial plenary.

We also have a variety of bilateral meetings scheduled that relate to this issue, so you will see those, some by the Secretary, some by others during the course of the UNGA week. There will be a meeting also of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, plus Egypt and Jordan while we're up there and typically, those meetings touch on the Israeli-Palestinian issue as well. Our goals here are not only to support our broader regional agenda, but also to focus in particular on this one.

And let me just reflect on where I think we are right now and how we, the United States, might make a positive contribution to helping what the parties are trying to do. And I realize that this is an association with a great deal of interest on the international meeting that President Bush has called for in his speech in July.

There's been, I think, some encouraging progress in the Israeli-Palestinian summit meetings so far. And in the one that was just held a week ago, each side felt it appropriate now to intensify these discussions by appointing some teams who would actually look at how the content of what have so far been very restricted one-on-one meetings is written down.

So we're coming now with our involvement into what I think is a more fertile atmosphere, but still one in its early stages. We'd like to encourage this progress. We think that any effort in rebuilding a real dialogue leading to what we hope will eventually be negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, as they both would like, has to rest on a bilateral process that's productive for the interest of both parties.

We think that region is receptive to that and we think the international community is expectant of that. I know that expectations are controlled about these possibilities, and that's not unreasonable under the circumstances because it has not been an easy year to rebuild these bilateral contacts. But where we started is certainly a lot different than where we are today.

I expect the Secretary is going to be busy with this. As I've described what our schedule is just for the next ten days, I think you can -- you will continue to see that degree of involvement and intensity on our part. As you know, periodically I go out there and try to preface and prepare these meetings. You will see some of that, too.

Okay, I'll open it up for some questions.

QUESTION: Can you talk about the idea of drafting some kind of document of principles or of understandings between the two sides that the Secretary might be pushing them to do either starting on this trip or towards -- as we move up to the international conference?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, we'd like to hear what the views of each side are with respect to that. It seems that there is some interest on the part of each in a -- some -- finding some way to formalize the discussions that have occurred so far. What they're called is also -- appears to be a subject of some discussion. But I would say it's probably best to visualize this now as some form of joint document because it's not so much the form that matters but, you know, what might be the substance of it.

So we'll hear from them on that and then, of course, as always, we will have our ideas and I'm sure that they'll be willing to listen to those. And we'll need to see where they've gotten.

QUESTION: Do you see -- just one quick follow-up -- do you see this as a working document that can evolve and eventually take the shape of a possible final status deal?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Before answering that question, I'd like to hear from each of them how they see it. I mean I've had some conversations with them about what the purposes are for the bilateral summits, but I think when the Secretary gets involved she'll hear a different level of discourse. Also, there's been -- they've gone through the beginning of Ramadan and Rosh Hashanah so there's been a bit of a pause. And I don't know how much follow-up work they've done to the last summit. I'll wait to hear from them on that and then we'll see whether we can elaborate further on it in public.

Glenn.

QUESTION: Do you -- does the United States plan to invite Syria or Lebanon to this international meeting? And just generally beyond -- can you take us beyond that international meeting, what the vision is going forward over the next -- what the follow-up steps would be from that international meeting?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, I'd like to take us to the meeting first. (Laughter.)

QUESTION: Well, I'm obviously looking ahead.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, it's appropriate to look ahead, but it's also appropriate to allow them to get there.

QUESTION: I want to get the -- I want to get a sense of what the context for this international meeting is and what you hope --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Those are good questions. I'm not sure I can fully answer them all right now. I mean, we're looking forward here as a way -- I mean, the President sketched it out in July, he talked about having an event that tries to intersect a number of goals. But in respect of what you're asking about, that it would support the dialogue between the parties and any negotiations that they have underway, you know, there are lots of ways you can design this and I think it's risky to try and do too much in anticipation of understanding what the specific answers to Elise's is, for example. Until we really know where the parties are, we can better see how to use an international event of this type. We may have more to say on that during the course of our visit.

QUESTION: Can I --

QUESTION: Wait, wait.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Yeah, go ahead.

QUESTION: But did you -- what about the (inaudible)?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: I said what I was going to say with respect to that.

QUESTION: Let me follow up on that because the reality is that you've got two months to pull off a major international meeting of some sort with players who have not participated in the past. We're hearing a lot from --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: With players who have not participated in the past?

QUESTION: Saudi Arabia has not been present. You know, there are -- excuse me?

QUESTION: (Inaudible).

QUESTION: It's silly for us to be hearing from other countries what the United States is trying to achieve in the run-up to this conference and what -- and their concerns about what follows next. We'd really like some language from you that gives -- that lays out --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: I understand that. And in due course, you will get that. And -- but most --

QUESTION: We have to write our stories tomorrow.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Pardon me?

QUESTION: I said we have to write our stories tomorrow.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Yeah, but I don't. You do. You might want to check and see what is the precedent because I'm not sure it's exactly as you describe it. That's just a fact to be checked.

Look, I -- we want a constructive and effective bilateral process. To the degree the region can support that, I think that's a worthy objective. To the degree the international community can support it, that's worthy (inaudible) we have some new ideas in play, like the idea of an international event or gathering. And yes, Robin, it will be hard to organize that -- to make that contribution in just two months, as you say. But it's -- the goal here isn't just to have a meeting. The goal is to make something succeed for the interest of Israel, succeed for the interest of the Palestinians -- that they get their bilateral process going in an effective and constructive way. Without that, I mean, we can have meetings all the time and --

QUESTION: Do you expect in the meeting, whatever kind of gathering it is, to discuss the final status issues or to have a declaration of principle that deals with refugees, Jerusalem and borders?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, you know, when we were -- when you and I were having this kind of colloquy on all the many trips earlier this year, you all chided me for talking about the words political horizon, which you did not see as very meaningful at the time.

Well, political horizon has now been transformed into fundamental issues. So the parties themselves are gaining, slowly but surely, the confidence necessary to take on what they see as the key things that separate them. That, we believe, is an important evolution that we want to encourage. There are again, as I said, various ways you can do that. You can have international gatherings to do that. You can have regional support. We have other tools now, too. We're involved in direct assistance to the Palestinians for the first time in quite some while. Mr. Blair is now organizing his mission, which has some pretty important components for trying to advance this, too. I mean, it might be possible, even in two months to aggregate these in a way that really gives a sense that we've turned a new page.

QUESTION: Can I just follow -- one last one the Saudis?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, you've had three.

QUESTION: No, but the Saudis -- you didn't answer my question.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: I didn't answer --

QUESTION: You -- are you confident that the Saudis will attend?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: You know I'm not addressing participation right now. They have attended -- they attended in Madrid, if you check that.

QUESTION: Can I back up a quick sec. Are you still -- and the Secretary still committed to having this international meeting this fall because it sounds --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Yes, we are.

QUESTION: Okay.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Sue.

QUESTION: How far have you got in looking at the fundamental issues? You've been going backwards and forwards between the Israelis and the Palestinians. If these are going to come up at the conference meeting, whatever it's going to be called, how far do you think you will have got by that stage?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: I can't -- I honestly can't say. It's a little unfair to ask the question because I think we need a perspective from each of them -- what they've talked about, where they think they could go, where they want to go and what would be necessary to get there. I believe that we have an interest in seeing it advance, and that's the purpose of the Secretary's travel and her investment in this kind of American diplomatic capital.

QUESTION: But where do you think the sticking points are going to be when you're there? What do you think you're going to make the most progress on?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, we could go on for hours about, you know, what I understand to be the sticking points in some of these issues. That's not really new.

QUESTION: To go back to the trip this week, do you plan to organize a three-way meeting with the Secretary, Abbas and Olmert?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: We've kept the geometry of these discussions flexible. We had a trilat when probably it was necessary to have one because otherwise we would not have had a meeting at all. This time around, I think we will focus on having parallel meetings, as I said earlier. We don't rule out the trilateral format in the near future. To be perfectly candid, I think we'll call then, as the Secretary sometimes says, as an audible. Or, you probably don't follow American football as avidly as she does, but that's when you change the signals right on the -- during the play.

QUESTION: So that means yes? (Laughter.)

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: That means I do pretty much what I want, and then she can overrule and do whatever she wants.

QUESTION: Well, when you say -- but when you say that you're not ruling it out, are you going to go there and see how things look, and then maybe you'll do it or maybe you won't? Are you intending to do it and you're not sure if it's going to happen?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: No, I would not lead you to conclude any of those things. You, the press, in this instance, can't serve as Belichick's camera. (Laughter.)

QUESTION: I understand that AIPAC has circulated a letter calling for the United States to put conditions on those participants in the conference, so somebody like Saudi Arabia, and that AIPAC has asked that whoever participates in this conference recognize Israel. I know you don't want to talk about who may or may not be participating in the conference, but is there any idea whatsoever that there might be such conditions on participation?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: You know, I haven't seen the letter so I don't know what they're suggesting, and I'd rather not comment on the letter specifically. The goal here is to have -- to take steps to realize the vision of two states living side by side in peace and security. And I -- you know, I see that there is -- and that promise within the Arab initiative and, you know, so I accept that the governments who signed up to that initiative are willing to envision bilateral negotiations to realize that. You know, the issue of who participates in the meeting, as I said, we'll answer that when the time is appropriate.

QUESTION: So beyond signing up for the Arab initiative, you know, there isn't an idea of conditions --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Look, I think people have to be devoted to peace, and that's a key drawing line. But you know there's a lot of comment about the international meeting out there already saying what it is not or should not be. It's better to try and construct something that's positive, and we will in due course have those things to say. But you know, the way we conduct -- our approach in this is we will make suggestions to -- the Secretary makes suggestions eventually to the President about how the United States organizes itself for this event, and I don't want to preclude what any of the options might be in that regard.

Yes.

QUESTION: In terms of -- you talked about direct assistance to the Palestinians. The $80 million that went -- that's going to its security training, I think -- I understand that it's there. Do you -- can you break down for us where it's going, how it's being spent, which organizations are --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, I don't -- it's -- whenever you do foreign assistance, it's a little bit different than when you pay the electricity bill. It doesn't like get there immediately. I believe the component that's already physically started on the ground producing results is there's some antiterrorism training being organized for certain units of the Palestinian security forces. And that has already -- I think one caliber of those people have actually graduated already from that training course and there are follow-ons to that.

There are other parts of the program that are on a slower timeline to implement. To be honest with you, I haven't really looked at where those are right now. It doesn't mean they're not important. I just know they're entrained. And there are still other items that might be -- take a little longer to implement that require both parties to agree and we're working on those issues.

But this is -- I don't believe there are any difficult issue or controversies that -- in doing this, mostly just straightforward assistance work at this point. If this is a subject of common interest, I'm sure that by the time we do the trip, I can get you a breakout of where we are on the whole $80 million.

Is it -- yeah, okay.

QUESTION: David, can you talk a little bit about how concerned you were about the Israeli raid or non-raid over Syria and whether or not this is something you think the Secretary might discuss with the Israelis on her trip?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: I think Tom and Sean have -- have been up here and addressed this several times. You know our concerns.

QUESTION: No, I don't.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, then reread the transcript. I think they -- they have handled this question at least as much as I want to handle it, so I don't know whether it'll come up or not. I'll bet you guys ask.

QUESTION: (Inaudible) Syria next week?

QUESTION: If you haven't already, can you address this weekend's back and forth of Prime Minister Olmert and Abbas about -- you know, going to the Kadima meeting and apparently saying what he isn't willing to do and Abbas responding by saying that they might boycott? And in that context, do you see a difference of opinion between the Israelis and the Palestinians about what the goal of this process is? Is it to write something down? Is it to have some looser and less sticky outcome?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: It's a good question, Anne. I'm not sure at this point. I believe that both of them, though, are putting -- are making a major investment in trying to make the bilateral discussions that they've had, especially the one-on-one conversations, produce something. I think that's why they took the decision a week ago to find a format in which they can work on memorializing that, putting it down in writing.

Establishing this level of confidence carries with it both benefit -- both want to get that moving, but also, let's be clear, there are politics on each side. So I would expect that they have to address those, particularly as people outside see more happening and more going on and wonder what exactly it is and whether or not it affects them politically or practically.

This is a very important moment and we think we can make some progress here. And you all know that I -- my briefing style is to be very spare when it comes to words like encouragement. You know I try to be direct and objective, but I think for the first time here and in quite some time, I really do feel that there is an opportunity and with a little hard work, and that may take quite a bit of time, we can get it in a way that it looks a little bit better, more dramatic to you all.

QUESTION: Why do you think there is a real opportunity -- is there a difference of approach in --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Because --

QUESTION: -- the leaders of (inaudible)?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Because -- look, the -- look, what everybody commonly calls the peace process really hasn't been doing very much for quite some time. And so this is an important turning point and I think that both sides understand that a lot depends on them assuring each other that it can work to their benefit, but also understanding that they -- their public is not so confident that it may succeed and living with the expectations of the past, is conditioned to believe that the obstacles are greater than the opportunities.

QUESTION: David, how do you reconcile the fact that a whole section of the Palestinian population is being kind of completely left out from this process? And although Prime Minister Abbas has the negotiating authority as the Palestinian President, at some point, if you're memorializing these understandings, I mean, you're going to -- don't you think you're going to have to bring some Hamas leaders into the equation, so that they can not be a factor when you try to implement the deal?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: Well, I'm sure that on the part of President Abbas, there are political considerations. But I would disagree with the way you posed the question, all due respect.

No one is intending to leave a segment of Palestinians out of this process. We think that if you're building two states, there is one state that's for Palestinians, including those -- if you meant this, those that live in Gaza. Hamas excluded itself from what is the commonly accepted basis for the peace process. You accept the right of the other to live in peace, free from terror and violence, and you accept that there are agreements out there that have been forged by previous governments. We don't see what's so unreasonable about that. And frankly, most people in the international community didn't see what was so unreasonable about it. To this day, Hamas has not explicitly accepted even the Arab initiative.

So I mean, it's -- they're the ones who have excluded themselves. But that's a -- they're a political party and they make that decision, you know, for themselves and obviously, it hasn't kind of turned out the way they had hoped, I guess, because I would measure the public effect of that quite a bit differently. I think that, you know, many Palestinians today question the wisdom of that track. I'm not saying that the other track is automatically answered for them as a success. That's what we're trying to do here. But the contrast is stark and look at what their leadership got them when they had it.

Yes, I'll take this last question. I got to run because --

QUESTION: David, when the President declared a Palestinian state with the intention to help secure a Palestinian state, something came up, something called the roadmap. What happened to it? We don't hear about it at all. And every time the Secretary goes back to the region, they're exploring political horizon. So what happened between the time that everything was spelled out in clear details to now? They're looking backwards. Is this completely sort of over?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WELCH: No. I think that there are certain important agreements that form the foundation of our approach. One of them is the roadmap and there are others too. But what we were trying to do, and put out there words like political horizon, is to galvanize this bilateral discussion, to change its -- the tone there, to give each side the sense that they could revive this process so that then they can look meaningfully at what's in the roadmap and how to move along it. We are not setting it aside. It's not antique. It is there. It's a part of the framework of our approach.

Thanks. See some of you tomorrow evening.

East China braces for fierce typhoon SEPT 18,07

SHANGHAI, China - China's commercial center of Shanghai was evacuating 200,000 people on Tuesday ahead of the expected arrival of Typhoon Wipha, potentially the most destructive storm to hit the city in a decade, local media reported. Whipping up waves up to 36 feet high, Wipha was moving northwest across the sea north of Taiwan and was forecast to make landfall south of Shanghai early Wednesday, weather reports said.The typhoon is very likely to develop into the worst one in recent years. We are still observing it. It's hard to say at this moment, said a man who answered the phone at the city's meteorological bureau. As is common with Chinese officials, the man identified himself only by his surname, Fu.At 9 a.m. (9 p.m. EDT) Tuesday, Wipha's center was located about 137 miles east of Taiwan's capital, Taipei, according to the Hong Kong Observatory's Web site.Shanghai and the coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian to the south issued typhoon warnings requiring all vessels to return to shore or change course to avoid the storm, the official Xinhua News Agency said.State-run newspapers reported that some 200,000 people living in coastal or low-lying rural areas of Shanghai were being evacuated as a precaution, although the city was only experiencing intermittent showers early Tuesday.A worker was killed and another seriously injured Tuesday when scaffolding collapsed at a highway construction site in Taipei, Taiwan's Disaster Relief Center reported.

Schools, offices and the stock market in northern Taiwan were ordered closed as a precaution and flights from Taiwan to Japan, South Korea and a few other Asian countries were canceled, officials said.The storm was upgraded from a tropical storm on Monday afternoon. Wipha is a woman's name in Thai.The deadliest storm to hit the China coast in recent years was Typhoon Winnie in 1997, which killed 236 people. Typhoon Rananim, with winds of more than 100 mph, was the strongest typhoon to hit the Chinese mainland since 1956, killing nearly 200 people.

Fears mount over more Africa rain, floods By Jeremy Clarke
Mon Sep 17, 3:51 PM ET

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Fears mounted on Monday that downpours which have killed dozens in Africa, uprooted hundreds of thousands and devastated crops could continue past the end of the rainy season and hit areas that have so far escaped floods. Our estimates show the floods are likely to worsen or remain at the same level up to October or early November, said U.N. World Food Programme Uganda representative Tasema Negash.Experts say the rising waters may hit as yet unaffected areas in the coming days, such as Uganda's central regions.We are calling on the international community to come to their rescue before it is too late," said Musa Ecweru, minister for disaster preparedness in Uganda, where 300,000 people have already been affected and at least nine killed.Scores have died in more than a dozen countries often ravaged by droughts, but now inundated by torrential downpours destroying settlements and sweeping away crops and livestock -- cornerstones of Africa's developing economies.Across the continent, uprooted communities shelter in abandoned schools, churches and under plastic sheeting.Schoolboys carrying books above their heads wade through flooded fields, while villagers stand on the muddy wreckage of homes searching for missing family.Across east Africa, more than 90 people have now died from floods and the waterborne diseases that have followed -- at least 63 in Ethiopia alone.In west Africa, the U.N. humanitarian agency OCHA says floods have affected half a million people. The International Federation of the Red Cross says 87 people have been killed in the past two months, mostly in Nigeria.But those figures are rough estimates as hailstorms, mudslides and collapsed bridges wreak havoc with relief efforts.

HUGE IMPACT

In Kenya, 20,000 people driven from their homes in the largely agricultural southwest left behind a wilderness of wasted crops and drowned livestock.These people affected depend their lives on agriculture ... the floods will have a huge economical impact in Kenya, said Elena Velilla, Medecins Sans Frontieres' head of mission.The U.N. World Food Programme says it needs $29 million in Uganda to fight the crisis in a country already burdened by thousands of refugees from neighboring Congo and more than a million people living in war displacement camps in the north.
With camps for the displaced fast swelling in countries across the centre of the world's poorest continent, experts say the threat of disease is mounting quickly.

We need medicines because we expect outbreaks of diarrhea and cholera, Ben Brown, regional co-coordinator of Ghana's National Disaster Management Organization, told Reuters.Northern Ghana has been particularly badly hit, and the authorities there have appealed for international help to feed, clothe and house tens of thousands uprooted by rising waters that have killed at least 18.Malaria may be expected because we have stagnant waters and mosquitoes will breed, Brown said. Last week in neighboring Togo, where at least 20 people have died since last month, the authorities delayed the start of the new academic year for a month after 46 schools were damaged.And in already impoverished Mali and Niger, swarms of crop-eating locusts are now feared, OCHA said.

Florida tornado damages dozens of homes Mon Sep 17, 1:07 PM ET

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - As many as 150 homes were damaged by a powerful tornado that swept off the Gulf of Mexico and plowed into this southwest Florida city, officials said Monday. One person suffered minor injuries from flying debris. Thunderstorms that spawned the tornado hit Cape Coral around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.Water was pouring in through the windows, it soaked everything, said Jessica Gibson, whose apartment building roof was partly torn off.Daniel Noah at the National Weather Service said the tornado started as a water spout over Fort Myers Beach and moved north into Cape Coral. He estimated the winds speeds were between 90 and 110 mph.One minor injury from flying debris was reported after the tornado, which damaged dozens of houses, apartments and other buildings, city spokeswoman Connie Barron said. Cape Coral's chief inspector, Bill Selvia, told the News-Press of Fort Myers on Monday that the final damage estimate could be in the millions of dollars.At the Silver Sands Resort, the tornado toppled a tiki bar and tore the roof off two units, owner Tom Groves said.It threw all the chairs into the pool — just made a general mess, Groves said.

Cooler weather aids fight against SoCal wildfires
SEPT 17,07

FAWNSKIN, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters kept an eye on the winds Monday as they made progress in surrounding two wildfires that have chewed through more than 16,000 acres of dry brush in San Bernardino and San Diego counties.Cooler temperatures and light winds overnight helped prevent the spread of the Butler 2 fire, which has charred 15,433 acres — or more than 24 square miles — in the San Bernardino National Forest.About 340 residents of the Fawnskin area remained evacuated but another 1,200 who voluntarily left their homes in Green Valley Lake had returned, officials said.

Actress Shirley Jones and her husband, producer Marty Ingels, evacuated their 17-acre hilltop estate in the town of Fawnskin.Jones said flames could be seen just a few hundred yards from their property.It's all up to God and the shifting winds, she said in a prepared statement. This is a real nailbiter.Extra firefighters were on duty to protect structures and prevent flames from pushing into Fawnskin. The fire, which burned several outbuildings at a campground, was 12% contained.Despite the progress, crews were concerned about the winds, which were expected to blow from the west at up to 15 mph.The weather is a concern today because if we get any winds from the west, it could push the fire into Fawnskin, said Robin Prince, fire information officer with the U.S. Forest Service.Stretches of highways 18 and 38 remained closed. Six schools in the Bear Valley Unified School District canceled classes as a precaution, affecting 3,200 students.In eastern San Diego County, a wildfire northeast of Julian had burned 850 acres and was 70% surrounded. The Angel Fire, which authorities said was started by an illegal campfire, was expected to be fully contained by Wednesday.The blaze led to the evacuation of about 400 people from the nearby subdivision of Whispering Pines. Residents in the southern part of the subdivision were allowed back in their homes.One vacation home was destroyed and five outbuildings were damaged.

SCOFFERS MOCKING CHRISTS LITERAL 2ND COMING TO EARTH BODILY.

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.(JESUS)(GOD)
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Nebraska state senator sues God By NATE JENKINS, Associated Press Writer
SEPT 18,07

LINCOLN, Neb. - The defendant in a state senator's lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He's everywhere. State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he's trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants.

The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.He's seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.Chambers said the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as rape and victim from a sexual assault trial.
The accuser in the criminal case, Tory Bowen, sued Lancaster District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront, claiming that he violated her free speech rights.Chambers said Bowen's lawsuit is inappropriate because the Nebraska Supreme Court has already considered the case and federal courts follow the decisions of state supreme courts on state matters.This lawsuit having been filed and being of such questionable merit creates a circumstance where my lawsuit is appropriately filed, Chambers said. People might call it frivolous but if they read it they'll see there are very serious issues I have raised.U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf, in an order last week, expressed doubts about whether Bowen's lawsuit has any legal basis whatsoever and said sanctions may be imposed against Bowen and her attorneys if they fail to show cause for the lawsuit.The Associated Press usually does not identify accusers in sex-assault cases, but Bowen has allowed her name to be used publicly because of the issue over the judge's language restrictions.Cheuvront declared a mistrial in the sexual assault trial in July, saying pretrial publicity made it impossible to gather enough impartial jurors.

Stocks fall as Fed decision looms By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer
Mon Sep 17, 6:30 PM ET

NEW YORK - Wall Street fell moderately Monday as investors anxiously awaited the Federal Reserve's impending decision on interest rates. The market is betting on a rate cut from the Fed when the central bank meets Tuesday, but investors are not completely sure what it will do and what it will say in its accompanying economic statement. Furthermore, with the major brokerages' third-quarter results yet to be released, investors are uncertain about how badly the summer's stock downturn, souring home loans, and credit squeeze hit the banking industry.Adding to the uneasiness, Northern Rock PLC, Britain's fifth-largest mortgage lender, saw its stock plunge and customers withdraw billions of dollars after it issued a profit warning Friday and requested emergency funds from the Bank of England. That gave U.S. investors an added impetus to pare their stock holdings, particularly in the financial sector.Talk from former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan of the possibility of a recession amid high inflationary pressures also elevated Wall Street's jitters, as did job cuts at Merrill Lynch & Co.'s First Franklin Financial Corp.It's possible the Fed won't go through with a rate cut at all if it believes the economy is still growing moderately and that inflation remains a threat, but most investors expect the Fed to cut the bench mark federal funds rate, now at 5.25 percent, by at least a quarter-point. And because negative economic data have trickled in over the last couple weeks — such as a decrease of 4,000 jobs in August and weaker-than-expected retail sales — some anticipate a half-point rate cut.

A quarter-point is going to be disappointing. It's already priced in, said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. But the Fed probably won't want to lower rates by more than that, he said, and the central bank may not indicate in its statement that more reductions are in the offing.The big issue is gold and oil have been spiking higher, which people could argue is inflationary, but economic data has been weak. The Fed's in a tough place. Higher interest rates prevent costs from rising; lower rates fuel growth but also tend to accelerate inflation.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 39.10, or 0.29 percent, to 13,403.42.

Broader stock indicators showed somewhat steeper losses. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 7.60, or 0.51 percent, to 1,476.65, and the Nasdaq composite index lost 20.52, or 0.79 percent, to 2,581.66. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks small company stocks, fell 7.68, or 0.98 percent, to 775.81.Bonds rose modestly, pushing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note down to 4.47 percent from 4.48 percent late Friday.Volume on the New York Stock Exchange was among the lightest of any day this year, indicating that many market participants were staying on the sidelines ahead of the Fed's decision. Consolidated volume totaled 2.47 billion shares compared with 2.65 billion traded Friday.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the NYSE.

Last week, stocks saw sizable gains, due largely to high expectations of a rate cut. The Dow ended up 2.51 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 2.11 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 1.42 percent. The Dow is just 4 percent below its all-time high of 14,000.41, reached in July before fears escalated about bad home loans and excessive leveraged debt.

The prospect of a recession has been keeping the markets volatile.

Greenspan said in an interview with NBC before the markets opened Monday that the risk of a recession is higher than it was at the beginning of t
