DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

DANIEL 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

DANIEL 11:36-39
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

REVELATION 19:19
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EU will support Lebanon force
17/07/2006 19:22 - (SA)

Brussels - The European Union and its member states would be ready to participate in a UN peacekeeping force for Lebanon, the bloc's presidency said on Monday, while stressing that such a force was only an idea for the moment. I'm confident that the
European Union and its member states... will stand ready to take part if the conditions are there for such a mission, said Finnish foreign minister Erkki Tuomioja. But at the moment nothing more can be said, this is only an idea,added Tuomioja, after chairing a meeting with his EU counterparts.

Earlier, the dpa news agency reported from Rome that the UN was considering sending an additional 8 000 peacekeeping troops to southern Lebanon. Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi said at the G8 summit in St Petersburg that the UN currently had about 2000 people on the Israeli-Lebanese border. These should be increased five-fold, in this way the forces might perhaps be sufficient, Prodi was quoted by the Italian news agency Ansa as saying. The premier said Britain and Italy had pushed hardest for the deployment of a UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon and said his country was ready to play an active role in the operation. Prodi has been asked by G8 leaders to mediate between the Israeli and Lebanese governments in an attempt to reach a cease fire.

REVELATION 8:7

Thai provinces report haze from Indonesian forest fires

BANGKOK (AP): Haze from forest fires in Indonesia has reduced visibility in five southern Thai provinces, and residents with respiratory ailments have been advised to avoid outdoor activities, a weather official said Tuesday.Pollution caused by fires burning in the forests of Sumatra island had not reached hazardous levels but had reduced visibility to about 5 kilometers (3 miles), said Jongchit Niranatmetheekul, of the regional meteorological office.Road travel is deemed risky when visibility is under 2 kilometers (1.2 miles), she said, adding that people with allergies and respiratory problems were advised not to exercise outdoors.

The haze is an annual problem for the Thai provinces of Songkhla, Satun, Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, which are across a strip of the Andaman Sea from Indonesia's Sumatra island, where farmers burn brush or old crops to clear land during dry weather.

Need For Rain as 3 new fires in Winnepeg.

Three new forest fires started in the province yesterday. Two of the fires are burning in the northeast region of the province and the third is east of Bissett. The latest fires bring the year's total to 399. Tom Mirus, head of the province's fire program, said if Manitoba doesn't see some rain, conditions could get worse before they get better. Manitoba experienced some heavy rains last week, which
stabilized fires throughout the province. Authorities were able to lift restrictive bans in most areas on the weekend but the province needs another good soak to get back in the clear, Mirus said. Environment Canada is calling for showers today and tonight while hot weather is expected to dominate the rest of the week. As of yesterday, 55 forest fires were burning in Manitoba.

The fire threat in eastern Manitoba remains high. With two fires out of control in this area and warm weather in the forecast, the threat is expected to turn extreme, Mirus said. Southeastern Manitoba's fire hazard is extreme and travel is restricted in that area. Forest fires are contained to an area south of the Trans-Canada Highway. So far, Manitoba's fires have cost taxpayers $28 million.

Ecuador volcano buries farms in ash; 'ready to boil over': expert Mon Jul 17, 4:11 PM ET

QUITO (AFP) - Tungurahua, a volcano in southern Ecuador, erupted for a fourth day, burying thousands of farms in ash and threatening to "boil over" and dump lava on a nearby town, officials said. Explosions were heard for days, said Geophysical Institute engineer Pablo Samaniego, who compared the volcanic activity to a pot of milk waiting to boil over at any moment.Lava threatens to run downhill, toward Banos, with 15,000 residents, he said.This has happened before and could affect Banos,he said.The town will have to make its decisions on whether to evacuate,he said.

So far, a four-kilometer (2.5-mile)-high column of ash has done the most damage, affecting some 100,000 people who live on area farms.Farmers in the region are losing everything, said Patricio Donoso, president of the chamber of farmers.Some 5,000 hectares (12,000 acres) are damaged, he told Teleamazonas television news.We need to distribute hay so that the cattle will not die, and help those who are losing everything.Some 5,500 women, children and elderly people have been evacuated from the area, Civil Defense authorities told AFP.The volcano is 5,029 meters (16,500 feet) high and 135 kilometers (85 miles) south of Quito. Since Friday it has released lava and a column of ash.

The volcano erupted in a similar fashion in 1918, with six to eight periods of explosive activity sending lava down its sides, Samaniego said.We have not seen this phenomenon since then,he told Ecuavisa television.President Alfredo Palacio visited the area with five ministers and promised 4.9 million dollars for the emergency.

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; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Death toll from China storm hits 188 1 hour ago

BEIJING - China's death toll from tropical storm Bilis has jumped to 188 after torrential rains swept away houses and triggered devastating mudslides, the government's main news agency said Tuesday.More heavy rains were forecast in Guangdong province, a major economic center that borders Hong Kong, after Bilis flooded farmland, washed out roads and railway lines and cut power supplies, the official Xinhua News Agency said.Hardest hit was the inland province of Hunan, where at least 92 people were killed after Bilis roared ashore Friday, it said. At least 100 people were still missing in Hunan, it said.

Elsewhere, 43 people were killed in coastal Fujian province and 44 in neighboring Guangdong, the report said. Nine people were killed in south China's Guangxi region, it said.Xinhua said Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces also suffered fatalities, but didn't give details.The rains swelled reservoirs, causing them to overflow and sweep away thousands of homes and destroy crops. Train lines were inundated and mines were flooded with torrents of water.Xinhua said a 10,000-member repair crew was dispatched to fix China's main north-south railway line after it was submerged, delaying thousands of travelers. It was expected to take another few days before the line could resume service.

Typhoons hit China every year in the summer, causing hundreds of deaths.The country expects more storms than usual this year due to an unusually warm current off its Pacific coast and high temperatures on the Tibetan plateau.

Tsunami kills more than 300 in Indonesia By IRWAN FIRDAUS, Associated Press Writer 34 minutes ago

PANGANDARAN, Indonesia - A tsunami crashed into beach resorts and fishing villages on Java island Monday, killing more than 300 people and leaving more than 160 missing after bulletins failed to reach the region because no warning system was in place. The Java coastal area was spared by the devastating Asian tsunami of 2004, but many residents recognized the danger when they saw the sea recede.Frantic tourists and villagers shouted Tsunami! Tsunami! as the wave more than 6 feet high approached.

Some climbed trees or fled to higher ground to escape while others crowded into inland mosques to pray.At least 23,000 people fled their homes, either because they were destroyed or in fear of another tsunami, Dudi Junaidi, an official at an emergency coordination post in the worst-hit area of Pangandaran on Java's southern coast, said Tuesday.We saw a big wall of black water. I ran with my son in my arms when I looked back, the waves were at our house, they destroyed our house,said Ita Anita, who was on the beach with her 11-month-old child and other relatives. The water knocked me down, my son slipped out of my hands and was taken by the water.

Anita, 20, and her husband live 30 feet from the beach in Pangandaran, a resort popular with tourists. Also on the beach were her son, mother, sister, brother, nephews. All except her mother are missing.She said a series of large waves as tall as coconut trees came and then the water began to recede.When the wave receded, there was total panic. Everybody was looking for everybody, Anita said from her hospital bed at the Pangandaran medical clinic. She said she was swept inland by the wave into a rice paddy, tossed around and dragged across asphalt before she managed to climb to safety on the roof of a house.

Early Tuesday, desperate villagers and soldiers dug through destroyed homes and hotels looking for survivors as the death toll rose to at least 306.Junaidi said at least 172 people were killed and 85 others were missing in the Panganderan area. He said a Pakistani national, a Swedish national and a Dutch national were among the dead, but did not give their genders. Most of the victims were believed to be Indonesians.In nearby Cilacap district, at least 77 were killed and more than 70 others were missing, said central Java police chief Dody Sumantiawan. At least 44 others died in Tasikmalaya, said Lina, a district official who like many Indonesians goes by only one name.Another 13 died elsewhere along the coast, local officials said.I don't mind losing any of my property, but please God return my son,said Basril, as he and wife tearfully searched though mounds of debris pile up on the beach at Pangandaran.

Nearby, the body of a woman lay on the beach, covered with a mat.Regional agencies had warned that a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck 150 miles off Indonesia's southern coast was strong enough to create a tsunami on Java. But there was no warning system for those on the southern coast.The waves sent boats, cars and motorbikes crashing into resorts and fishing villages.

Houses and restaurants were flattened along a 110-mile stretch of the densely populated island's southern coast.Jan Boeken, from Antwerp, Belgium, said he was sitting at a bar when his waiter started screaming.I looked back at the beach and saw a big wall of thundering black water coming toward us,said the 53-year-old, who escaped with minor cuts to the head and knees. I ran, but I got trapped in the kitchen, I couldn't get out. I got hit in the body by debris and my lungs filled with water.

A witness told el-Shinta radio station he saw the ocean withdraw 1,500 feet from the beach a half-hour before the powerful wave smashed ashore, a typical phenomenon before a tsunami. I could see fish jumping around on the ocean floor, Miswan said.
Witnesses said the wave came several hundred yards inland in some places. Buildings sit close to the beach in Pangandaran. Pedi Mulyadi, a 43-year-old food vendor, said he was waiting on the beach for customers when the wave struck, killing his wife,
Ratini, 33. The pair were clinging to one another when they were swallowed by the torrent of water and pulled 300 feet inland, he said.Then we were hit, I think by a piece of wood,Mulyadi said. When the water finally pulled away, she was dead. Oh my God, my wife is gone, just like that. Roads were blocked and power cut to much of the area. Damage and casualties were reported at several places along the 110 miles of beach affected, officials and media reports said. All the houses are destroyed along the beach,one woman, Teti, told el-Shinta radio. Small hotels are destroyed and at least one restaurant was washed away.

Indonesia has installed a warning system across much of Sumatra island but not on Java. The government has been planning to extend the warning system there by 2007. Java was hit seven weeks ago by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that killed more than 5,800 people, but was spared by the 2004 tsunami that killed 216,000 people, nearly half of them in Indonesia's Aceh province. Chris Goldfinger, an earthquake expert at the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, said Monday's quake was probably not related to the 2004 tsunami though some of the tremors in the region since then were related. The May earthquake did not affect the part of the island hit by Monday's tsunami, which was spawned by a quake that struck deep beneath the Indian Ocean 150 miles southwest of Java's coast. The quake struck at 3:24 p.m., causing tall buildings to sway hundreds of miles away in the capital, Jakarta. The strength of the temblor was revised upward from magnitude 7.1 after a review by a seismologist, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks.

After the quake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Japan's Meteorological Agency issued warnings saying there could be a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The tsunami struck Java about an hour after the quake and its effects could be felt as far as Bali island and near Australia's Coco Islands. Indonesia is on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.

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 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, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Israel is Attacked Again by Missiles and Other Weapons With the Backing of Arab and Islamic Countries -

The G-d of Israel and His Faithful Israeli Soldiers Will Win this Battle as Well
As these words are being written Israel is being attacked by two evil terrorist organizations. Israel is being attacked from Gaza in the southwest by the Hamas terrorist organization and from Lebanon in the north by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. These two evil terror organizations are fighting against Israel with the backing of Iran and Syria especially and other nations which arm them with
missiles and other kinds of weapons. Missiles are shot from both sides on Israeli towns and cities. Israel is again paying a price of blood for protecting the holy land of the G-d and the people of Israel and the end-time godly event that is taking place in Israel.

This is another war against Israel with one clear goal. To destroy Israel and to push the Israeli nation into the Mediterranean. These evil terrorist organizations have the backing of the Arab and Islamic countries and other countries in the world. Together they prepare even much more heavy weapons including nuclear bombs and chemical missiles directed at Israel. They know and understand that Israel is the only obstacle before their goal to occupy all the world especially the western world and to make it an Islamic world.

Israel is now again fighting against so many enemies and their terror agents of Hamas and Hezbollah. It is not only a battle for survival and protecting our fathers and mother, sisters and brothers against an inhumane cruel enemy that their religion is calling for murder, hatred and destruction. This is a battle for protecting the major godly event which is taking place in Israel now.

The rebuilding of the Kingdom of G-d, His values and morals in the holy land that G-d gave to His chosen people Israel in an eternal covenant. This is a major godly event which will be an opening for the redemption of all mankind based on G-d's values and morals at a time when it is so needed. Israel will again win this battle. The small Israel will overcome this difficult time. As it was in the biblical times the G-d of Israel, the Creator of the Universe, is fighting together with the Israeli soldiers against the messengers of the devil.

These evil powers want to destroy what G-d is doing with Israel at these critical times and to eliminate not only Israel but the great hope for all the world for a better mankind.They have illusions that they can win the battle against G-d and His people Israel. They never learned from their own experience and experience of other evil powers throughout the history of Israel that believed that they can destroy the G-d and the people of Israel.

They were all defeated by the G-d of Israel and His Israeli soldiers and have disappeared completely under the judgement of G-d from the stage of history. The same will be their destiny now as G-d promised to His people Israel through her great prophets. They have no chance. Who can challenge the G-d of Israel and the Universe and His Israeli soldiers who swore to dedicate and give their lives for their beloved G-d, His Word that He gave them in the Torah and the holy wonderful land that He gave them forever. G-d promised Israel that His eyes, His heart and His attention will be day and night on His people Israel and their Promised Land to
protect and save them from any enemy that will come to destroy His beloved wife Israel.

This is not the first war against Israel and not, as we see, the last of them. This is another stage in the end-time war against Israel that started in 1948 and it is coming closer and closer to its climax. Israel together with the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is ready to face this actual war and this that is going to come, the end-time war which as G-d called it through His prophet Ezekiel the Gog and Magog War (please read Ezekiel 38 & 39, Zechariah 12 & 14, and Joel 4). The victory belongs to the G-d of Israel and the Universe who is determined to complete His major end-time event which is called Israel and to bring to pass the eternal cause and mission that He gave to His chosen people Israel. To be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, a treasure and a light to all the nations.

Israel is now experiencing one of the most critical stages in the process of Redemption, the exciting process that the G-d of Israel is leading in the last century, especially since the foundation of the State of Israel in 1948. This is, as I said above, another stage in the beginning of the end-time war, the Gog and Magog War, against Israel. As G-d promised this end-time war against Israel will be the last stage before the climax of this process and the most exciting part of it: The building of the end-time Temple of G-d on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to be a house of prayer, worship and love for Israel and all mankind and the coming of the end-time Messenger of G-d, Mashiach ben David.

This will open the time of redemption for all mankind. All the friends and the lovers of the G-d of Israel and His people Israel, which is now facing another evil war from evil enemies, are called to stand with and encourage her at this critical moment. All those wonderful brothers and sisters all over the world are called to stand with, help and encourage the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement that fulfills a major part in this campaign and even more so in the near future, and G-d will bless those who bless Israel as He promised.
