HAPPY 58TH BIRTHDAY ISRAEL

ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER NO END IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

ISAIAH 66:8-16
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
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 (THE BIBLE,GODS SWORD AS WELL AS SWORD WEAPONS) will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

ISAIAH 9:6-7
6 For unto us a child is born,(1ST COMING AS A BABY) unto us (ISRAELIS AND THE WORLD) a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:( 2ND COMING AS RULING KING) and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

NOTICE IT SAYS JESUS WILL BE RULING FROM DAVIDS THRONE, NOT ALLAHS THRONE. ISAAC'S LINE NOT ISHMAELS LINE EVEN THOUGH THE COUSINS WILL LIVE SIDE BY SIDE IN THE FUTURE, BUT THATS ONLY AFTER JESUS THE TRUE PRINCE OF PEACE AND MIGHTY GOD RULES FROM DAVIDS THRONE AFTER THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD.

LIKE THE END OF THIS STORY SAYS OUR COLORS (THE WORLD) ARE BLUE AND WHITE, AND NO ONE WILL CHANGE ISRAELS COLORS IN THE FUTURE SINCE JERUSALEM WILL BE THE WORLD CAPITAL AFTER THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.

HAPPY 58TH BIRTHDAY ISRAEL

Jewish settlers mark sad Israel independence day Wed May 3, 12:21 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Torn between a deep love for the land of Israel and a burning anger towards the state for uprooting them from the Gaza Strip, thousands of settlers will mark Independence Day with mixed emotions. As Israelis prepare for Wednesday's 58th independence anniversary, with millions of blue-and-white national flags waving outside homes and from cars, even the most trivial symbols are given a new meaning by former Gaza settlers. The months that have passed since the dramatic days of disengagement last September, when he and his family were uprooted from the occupied Gaza Strip, have done nothing to cool Eran Sternberg's anger towards the Jewish state.

It is going to be very hard for us to celebrate Independence Day this year," he says from his home, one of hundreds of caravans for evacuated families outside the community of Yad Binyamin in southern Israel. Although the catastrophe we went through should not disturb our happiness over independence, no one can escape its emotional dimension. While some settlers will wave flags tied with orange ribbons, symbolising the protest movement against the Gaza pullout, Sternberg ponders a more radical expression of what he sees as Israel's betrayal of its strongest supporters. I may wave a flag -- a black flag with the words 'we shall not forget and we shall not forgive' written on it -- to remind everyone of the state's evil acts.

The celebration of Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, which came amidst a war against seven Arab armies, is also a pledge of allegiance to the state's institutions, which Stenberg refuses to make. Because of my love for the state and my sincere intention to celebrate future independence days, we must deepen our awareness of the idea of 'we shall not forget and we shall not forgive' in order to promise such things never recur," Sternberg tells AFP. But he sees no bright future for Israel following the election of the centrist Kadima party whose prime minister designate Ehud Olmert has pledged to recall tens of thousands of settlers from the occupied West Bank.

I feel that we are on the verge of a national catastrophe and destruction which will usher in the end of the Jewish state in Israel," he says. Sternberg's views echo many other leaders of the religious Zionist movement. One prominent rabbi, Shmuel Tal, has called on his followers to completely boycott Independence Day. In many settlements across the West Bank, posters have been put up reading "we are not celebrating 'independence'" against a blue-and-white backdrop. But Avi Farhan, whose family was uprooted from the Gaza settlement of Elei Sinai, believes that hardline protest will only further distance the settlers and their cause from the majority of Israelis.

With all due respect to the crisis, the pain and the grief, the members of the religious Zionism who are thinking of boycotting Independence Day -- and those who intend to wave black flags -- are wrong again, Farhan wrote in an open letter on the Y-net Website. They are making us hated and pushing us to the edges of Israeli society. Farhan, who was also removed from his home when Israel left the Sinai peninsula in 1983 following a peace agreement with Egypt, says that despite everything he and his family went through, he will wave the flag this year.
Blue and white are my colours, and no one will take them from me," he says.
