This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
September 15, 2006

Dear Friends,

Rising anti-Semitism, coupled with crippling poverty, continue to make life difficult for Jews in Argentina, home of the largest Jewish community in Latin America.There is a large Muslim population in this South American country, and the Hezbollah terrorist group is said to have training camps in the north.

Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for a 1992 bombing at the Israeli embassy in Argentina's capitol, Buenos Aires, which killed 29 people, as well as a devastating 1994 blast at a Jewish community center that killed 87 and injured hundreds more.Recent events have been less violent but no less disturbing. Anti-Semitic graffiti ,Be patriotic, kill Jews - has been appearing around the country. Two anti-Israel rallies in August drew thousands. An alliance between radical Muslims and the political far left seems to be developing. Understandably, Jews are ill at ease - and growing more so every day.

Can there be any doubt why so many Jews long to make aliyah (emigrate) to Israel, their biblical and spiritual homeland? In their countries of origin, their lives may be threatened for practicing their religion. But in Israel, whatever dangers they face, they at least face them in their own country, where they can practice their religion and live freely, as Jews.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon often emphasized the critical importance of aliyah to Israel's strength and security, and I could not agree more. When you give to The Fellowship's On Wings of Eagles program, which helps Jews living in poverty and danger around the world make aliyah and supports their klitah (resettlement) in Israel, you're doing more than just giving individual Jews the chance at a better life you're strengthening the entire Jewish nation.The Psalmist said, Save us O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations (Psalm 106:47).

Please help us put these biblical words into action by continuing the important work of On Wings of Eagles. On behalf of Israel and Jews everywhere, thank you.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

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)
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.

Storm Helene strengthens Thu Sep 14, 11:48 AM ET

MIAMI (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Helene strengthened as it churned westward across the Atlantic on Thursday, while Hurricane Gordon remained a powerful Category 3 storm, but neither posed any immediate threat to land. By 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT),
Helene, the eighth tropical storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, had maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour (75 km per hour), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The swirling mass of gusty thunderstorms was located around 835 miles west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and was moving west at 20 mph (32 kph), the Miami-based center said in an advisory.It was expected to strengthen in the coming days into a hurricane but would most likely start curving to the northwest well before approaching the U.S. East Coast, computer models showed.Gordon, meanwhile, the season's third hurricane and the first to become what meteorologists call a major storm with winds in excess of 111 mph (154 kph), was located around 560 miles east-southeast of the British mid-Atlantic territory of Bermuda and moving north-northeast at 12 mph (19 kph).With winds of 120 mph (195 kph), it was expected to keep well east of Bermuda, which was raked by Hurricane Florence on Monday, and eventually weaken over cooler waters.

While three hurricanes have formed in August and September, the 2006 season has been mild compared to 2005, when 28 named storms swept through the Atlantic and the Caribbean, 15 of which strengthened into hurricanes.Hurricane Katrina devastated New
Orleans just over a year ago and hurricanes Rita and Katrina were among the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded.Weather forecasters initially predicted that this year would also be more active than usual but have since cut their storm forecasts.The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Wednesday that the formation of El Nino conditions in the eastern Pacific could be one reason there are fewer storms than had been expected. An unusual warming of Pacific waters, el Nino conditions tend to thwart the formation of Atlantic cyclones.

Tropical Storm Lane heads toward Baja 1 hour, 25 minutes ago

MEXICO CITY - Tropical Storm Lane lashed Mexico's Pacific Coast with winds and rain Thursday, flooding streets in Acapulco before setting on a course to hit the hurricane-battered tip of the Baja California peninsula. The storm was centered about 95 miles south of Manzanillo and was moving parallel to the coast at 13 mph. It had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.A tropical storm warning and hurricane watch were issued for a stretch of coast southeast of the resort of Puerta Vallarta. Forecasters said the storm was expected to strengthen to a hurricane on Friday, then hit land near Cabo San Lucas late Saturday.

Lane dumped rain and whipped up waves in Acapulco, where authorities closed the port to small boats. Streets were covered in up to 16 inches of water — including the beachside Costera Miguel Aleman, which runs past many of the resort's luxury hotels.There was also some flooding at the Acapulco airport, although service was not interrupted.Forecasters warned up to 10 inches of rain were possible.The storm was following the same path as Hurricane John, which raked Mexico's Pacific Coast early this month before slamming into Baja California, killing five people.

Eight killed by storm as floods continue to punish Ethiopia

ADDIS ABABA (AFP) - At least eight people, including a family of seven, were killed in a fierce rainstorm that pounded eastern Ethiopia as floods continued to ravage the country, officials said. The new fatalities brought the nationwide toll from unusually heavy seasonal rains and flash floods since last month to at least 647 and came in Dire Dawa, which is still recovering from deadly August flooding, they said.The seven-member family was killed when rains late on Wednesday collapsed their small shack in the town, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) east of Addis Ababa, regional police spokesman Biniam Fikru said.The house broke down because of the heavy brain and killed the whole family,he told AFP from Dire Dawa, adding that an eighth person, an 18-year-old boy died after being electrocuted by a fallen power line.

Dire Dawa was the first Ethiopian municipality to be hit by the fatal flash
floods in early August when two rivers burst their banks, killing at least 256 people, and displacing more than 10,000.No new inundations were reported from Wednesday's storm but the United Nations said this week devastating floods continued to wreak havoc across Ethiopia, affecting some 357,000 people.More than 136,000 of those have been left homeless, swamping temporary shelter sites and hampering aid deliveries, particularly in northern Amhara region, where nearly 100,000, 37,000 of them displaced, are affected, it said.The new figure represents a substantial rise in damage from the flash floods that had affected at least 118,000 people in in eastern, southern and northern Ethiopia as of August 25.In Amhara, 68,000 people are in need immediate food assistance, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a report released on Tuesday.Large areas of cropped land are swamped by the flood,it said, noting that unusually heavy seasonal rains had expanded Lake Tana, the region's largest body of water, by 50 meters (yards).

This has increased the risk of further flood damage,it said, adding that a newly constructed bridge to a resettlement camp had been destroyed in the region, adding to inhabitants' woes and forcing deliveries to be made by boat.In the central and southern Oromiya region, OCHA reported a dramatic increase in the number of flood-affected people to 77,000, with a doubling and tripling of the figure, to nearly 75,000, in the southeastern Somali region.

The agency said water and sanitation facilities were urgently needed in camps for the displaced due to fears of the spread of waterborne diseases, like cholera, and malaria.Ethiopian authorities have appealed for 27 million dollars (21 million euros) in funds to deal with the disaster, which struck first in the east in early August and then hit the southwest.Forecasters have warned the country will likely face further flood threats from the rains that are expected to continue until the end of the wet season in September.Ethiopia, home to some 70 million people, has faced heavy floods and droughts in recent years along with other countries in the Horn of Africa which have endured cycles of deadly weather for decades.

Gordon holds its Category 3 strength Thu Sep 14, 11:54 AM ET

MIAMI - Tropical Storm Helene moved quickly in the open Atlantic early Thursday, and a powerful Hurricane Gordon held on to its Category 3 strength, but neither posed any threat to land, forecasters said. In Canada, where Hurricane Florence's remnants raked Newfoundland with 100 mph wind gusts and bands of rain on Wednesday, the winds were expected to drop as the storm moved eastward during the day, the Canadian Hurricane Center said.Helene, the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, had top sustained winds near 45 mph Thursday morning, well below the 74 mph threshold for a hurricane. It formed late Wednesday night and was not expected to threaten land, National Hurricane Center forecasters said.We feel fairly confident that this thing could end up over the middle of the Atlantic,meteorologist Hugh Cobb said.At 11 a.m. EDT, it was centered 835 miles west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and moving west over warm Atlantic waters at 20 mph, forecasters said. A gradual strengthening and turn toward the west-northwest was expected Thursday and Friday morning.

While the storm's path was somewhat uncertain, forecasters expected the storm to eventually turn northward, Cobb said.Gordon was upgraded to a Category 3 hurricane late Wednesday when its top sustained winds jumped to 120 mph, up from 110 mph earlier in the day, forecasters said.The hurricane was moving out to sea and was no threat to land, according to the hurricane center. Gordon's clearly defined eye was centered about 560 miles east-southeast of Bermuda and moving north-northeast near 12 mph. Some gradual weakening was expected Thursday and Friday, forecasters said.Although Gordon's eye remains distinct, it has become smaller and a little less well-defined, said Richard Knabb, a senior hurricane specialist.Some waves could reach Bermuda, but the British territory should not feel tropical storm force winds, forecasters said.The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30. The National Hurricane Center's latest forecast for the season expects between seven and nine hurricanes, a slight reduction from earlier predictions.

Federal scientists said Wednesday that the season hasn't been as busy because weak El Nino conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific. El Nino means higher ocean temperatures that inhibit hurricanes by increasing crosswinds over the Caribbean. This vertical wind shear can rip storms apart or even stop them from forming.But National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists warned that the El Nino impacts on hurricanes have been small so far.We are still in the peak months of the Atlantic hurricane season, and conditions remain generally conducive for hurricane formation,said Gerry Bell, the agency's lead seasonal hurricane forecaster.

Taiwan issues warning against Typhoon Shanshan Thu Sep 14, 8:37 AM ET

TAIPEI (AFP) - Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau has issued an alert as Tyhoon Shanshan was approaching bringing with it the threat of strong winds and torrential rain. The center of Shanshan, which is a Chinese woman's name, was 470 kilometers (291 miles) east-southeast of Taiwan's southernmost tip Oluanpi at 17:30 pm (0930 GMT), the bureau said Thursday.With a radius of 200 kilometers, the typhoon was moving west-northwest at a speed of 10 kilometers an hour and packing winds gusting up to 144 kilometers per hour.Residents in eastern and northeastern Taiwan were urged to take precautions against the downpours and powerful winds and avoid activities near the sea. Those in mountainous regions were told to watch out for mudslides.In July, Tropical Storm Bilis killed three people on the island while Typhoon Kaemi injured four people. Both storms claimed hundreds of lives on the
Chinese mainland.

Firefighters Still Battling Record Year Of Blazes

Foresters have some grave news about this year's wildfires. They say more U.S. land has been scorched in 2006 than in any year since at least 1960, blackening an area twice the size of New Jersey.And more acreage is still going up in smoke.

California firefighters are trying to protect a mobile home park from the erratic winds driving a fierce blaze across the Los Padres National Forest. Only Interstate Five separates the flames marching across 27,000 acres from the Paradise Ranch area. In Washington state, forest fire managers say more residents have been advised to flee the flames in the Stehekin Valley. And firefighters in Oregon are hoping that fall's first storm, and maybe even snow, will dampen 2 lightning-triggered fires there.

ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

EZEKIEL 38:1-2,5-7

Islamic History Expert: Moslem Peace with Israel? Never!
By Ezra HaLevi(INN)

Islam History Professor Moshe Sharon of Hebrew University told a counter-terrorism conference Thursday, There is no possibility of peace between Israel and the Palestinians whatsoever - ever. Sharon, speaking at the annual conference of Herzliya’s Counter Terrorism Institute, said that Iran is dead serious about obtaining and using nuclear weapons in order to bring about its vision of an
Islamic End of Days.The veteran expert on Islam says that Western officials fail to grasp that the Arab and Islamic world truly see Israel’s establishment as a reversal of history and are therefore unable to ever accept peaceful relations with it. From Moslems’ perspective, Islamic territory was taken away from Islam by Jews. You know by now that this can never be accepted, not even one meter. So everyone who thinks Tel Aviv is safe is making a grave mistake. Territory which at one time was dominated by Islamic rule, now has become non-Moslem. Non-Moslems are independent of Islamic rule and Jews have created their own independent state. It is anathema. Worse, Israel, a non-Moslem state, is ruling over Moslems. It is unthinkable that non-Moslems should rule over Moslems.

Sharon dismissed various peace treaties signed by Moslem and Arab officials over the years as pieces of paper, parts of tactics and strategies… with no meaning.Sharon’s assessment focused on the danger posed by Iran. From studying Iranian culture, literature, newspapers, broadcasts and interviews with major players in the Islamic regime, Sharon concludes that a deep belief in a Shiite messiah is at the root of Iran’s nuclear project.They truly believe that the Shiite messiah, the 12th Imam (also known as the Mahdi), is here, and that he will reveal himself… What moves the Iranian government and leadership today is first and foremost the wish to bring about the 12th Imam. Addressing the theological doctrine of how exactly the this Messiah will be revealed, Sharon explained:

How will they bring him? Through an apocalypse. He (the Mahdi) needs a war. He cannot come into this world without an Armageddon. He wants an Armageddon. The earlier we understand this the better. Ahmadinejad wants nuclear weapons for this!

Sharon has in the past insisted that the Western world was engaging in great folly by differentiating between radical and peaceful Islam. All of a sudden we see that the greatest interpreters of Islam are politicians in the Western world,he wrote sarcastically. They know better than all the speakers in the mosques, all those who deliver terrible sermons against anything that is either Christian or Jewish. These Western politicians know that there is good Islam and bad Islam. They know even how to differentiate between the two - except that none of them know how to read a word of Arabic.The difference between Judaism, Christianity and Islam is as follows: Judaism speaks about national salvation - namely, that at the end of the story, when the world becomes a better place, Israel will be in its own land, ruled by its own king and serving G-d. Christianity speaks about the idea that every single person in the world can be saved from his sins, while Islam speaks about ruling the world. I can quote here in Arabic, but there is no point in quoting Arabic, so let me quote a verse in English: ‘Allah sent Mohammed with the true religion so that it should rule over all the religions.

The idea, then, is not that the whole world would necessarily become Moslem at this time, but that the whole world would be subdued under the rule of Islam. That, Sharon insists, is the plan, in black-and-white, of the Iranian regime. This is why [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad seeks nuclear weapons,he emphasized. The faster we realize this, the better.

Bibi Waves His Flag
Carolyn Slutsky

When he was Israel’s UN ambassador in the 1980s, Benjamin Netanyahu built his reputation as a smooth communicator. But in a speech at New York University last week, he may have hit a wrong note.The former Israeli prime minister told students that each of you today is a publishing house,and encouraged them to take to the Internet and print their views on the truth about Israel.In his impassioned speech, co-sponsored by the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU and Caravan for Democracy, a program of the Jewish National Fund and Media Watch International, Netanyahu spoke about the recent war in Lebanon and said he felt Israel was disproportionately restrained when dealing with Hezbollah fighters, who he called latter-day Nazis. He also referred to the growing spread of fundamentalist Islam in the Middle East, saying, Israel is the first Western target, but not the last.If I had to say one thing on college campuses, it is stand up, be armed with the truth,said Netanyahu, speaking before an audience of more than 900 area students at The Cooper Union’s Great Hall.

But some affiliated with NYU felt Netanyahu’s effort to urge students to type away at computers lacked sensitivity, especially given the burgeoning dialogue between Jewish and Muslim students at the university. Rabbi Yehuda Sarna, the Bronfman Center’s manager of Jewish religious life, said that conversation, rather than trigger-finger Internet postings, offered the best route toward discussing Israel’s role in the Middle East. We have a unique opportunity — an emergency — on campuses which are calmer, to develop deep relationships and friendships between Jewish and Muslim students,said Rabbi Sarna.Cindy Greenberg, executive director of the Bronfman Center, said: On any campus you need both the flag wavers and the bridge builders.

We knew Bibi would speak to flag wavers, but we also know there are other students on campus who are good at building bridges. We try to reach out to as broad a reach of people as possible.

She noted that after Netanyahu’s speech Sarna and NYU’s Muslim chaplain Khalid Latif would be holding a joint discussion session so students could voice their reactions and concerns.Still, Netanyahu continued to wave his flag. He spoke extensively about Iran’s production of nuclear weapons and the threat to Israel and to Western civilization if Iran proceeded unchecked.I will not go back to those gas chambers,said Netanyahu at the close of an impromptu half-hour speech.The only way a society can defend itself is to light candles for truth flip on the Internet, and light candles for truth.

2006 Hotter Than Ever So Far in U.S. LiveScience Staff
LiveScience.com ,2 hours, 4 minutes ago

The first eight months of 2006 was the warmest in the continental United States since record-keeping began in 1895, NOAA officials said today.The period of June through August was the second warmest on record. Above-average rainfall last month in the central and southwestern parts of the country alleviated drought conditions in some areas, but moderate-to-extreme drought continued to affect 40 percent of the country, according to a statement from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.The average June-August 2006 temperature for the contiguous United States, based on preliminary data, was 2.4 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average of 72.1 degrees. This summer, at an average of 74.5 degrees, was slightly cooler than the record of 74.7 degrees set in 1936 during the Dust Bowl era. Eight of the past 10 summers have been warmer than the U.S. average for the same period going back to 1895.Last year is thought to have been the warmest on record for the entire planet.

Well heres one of those Satanic false Messiahs like Jesus warned us about as a sign of the last age days. The future EU JEWISH DICTATOR will have some of these decievers traits, and many more.

MATTHEW 24:3-5
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?(AGE OF GRACE)
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.(TRICK)
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Divine or dangerous, he's got disciplesBY ALEXANDRA ALTER
aalter@MiamiHerald.com

The apostle wears a bulletproof vest when he's preaching in Colombia, retains a battalion of 50 bodyguards across the United States and drives to his Doral church headquarters in an armored Seven Series BMW.Followers say he's Jesus. Detractors call him a cult leader. And José Luis De Jesús Miranda -- a paunchy, middle-aged man from Puerto Rico who favors $10,000 Rolexes and claims millions of disciples worldwide -- believes many people would like to see him dead.It's no wonder the sect generates controversy. De Jesús' followers have disrupted Catholic processions on Good Friday, protested outside an evangelical church gathering in Miami's Tropical Park and chanted anti-Catholic slogans during a parade in Lima honoring the city's patron saint, El Señor de los Milagros.

Today, some 500 members of Creciendo en Gracia -- Growing in Grace -- plan to march in downtown Miami to proclaim their leader as Christ incarnate. In a show of solidarity with their prophet, members say they will destroy crucifixes, rosaries, statues of the Virgin Mary and other saints and tear up literature published by the Jehovah's Witnesses and other Christian movements.

Simultaneous protests are planned in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Argentina and Guatemala -- countries where De Jesús has sizable followings.We don't believe Christians have the right to call themselves Christians,De Jesús said, leaning back in a plush leather chair at his church headquarters, a gray corporate warehouse in Doral. For 2,000 years, they used the wrong gospel.Some Christian leaders dismiss the protests as ill-conceived publicity stunts. Others regard them as disruptive and even dangerous.He has developed a campaign against mainstream churches and they have been vicious,said the Rev. Julio Perez of Nuevo Esperanza, a faith-based community advisory board in Hialeah.

De Jesús -- who during a recent interview wore tinted glasses, a black polo T-shirt and a conspicuous gold pendant around his neck with the moniker SSS (short for the church's motto, Salvo Siempre Salvo, saved always saved) -- could more easily pass for a banker or lawyer than the messiah.Adherents call him Apostle, the Man Christ Jesus, God and Daddy and shower him with money and gifts.

I believe he's the lord,said Alvaro Albarracin, 37, a Miami businessman who oversees corporate donations to the church. I will be thankful to him in as many ways as I can, especially with money, because money is nothing.When De Jesús founded Creciendo en Gracia in a Hialeah warehouse 20 years ago, he claimed a few hundred followers. As his movement and reputation grew, so did his title. In 1988, he announced he was the reincarnation of the Apostle Paul. In 1999, he dubbed himself the Other,a spiritual super-being who would pave the way for Christ's second coming. In 2004, he proclaimed himself to be Jesus Christ and the sole interpreter of the gospel.His claim to divinity led to defections including his first wife, Nydia, and his son Jose Luis Jr., who started his own church in Puerto Rico.Thousands more, however, have flocked to the movement.Creciendo en Gracia now lists more than 300 education centers in 52 countries, 200 pastors, 225 radio programs and its own 24-hour Spanish language satellite network that's beamed into some 3 million homes.

Religious leaders in the United States and Latin America have criticized De Jesús, calling him a false prophet who deceives his followers.'They have really strange catchy phrases that are reflective of their bad theology,said Father Albert Cutié, pastor of St.Francis de Sales Catholic Church, a South Beach parish where De Jesús' followers protested a Good Friday procession this year.

When any rabbi, priest, pastor or minister presumes to be a divine being there's a serious problem. This is more of a cult.The church seems eager to court controversy. After The Miami New Times published an article last February that was critical of the movement, church members distributed copies during services and used the cover art -- an illustration of the historical Jesus with the headline He's Back! in a promotional film.

SIN ABOLISHED

Devotees say De Jesús -- who preaches that sin was abolished when Jesus died on the cross, that the devil doesn't exist and that God's chosen are predestined for salvation -- has brought them happiness and personal prosperity.Lucy Fuentes, a former Catholic who joined the movement in 1988, said she was tired of feeling like a sinner. De Jesús' message freed her from such ideas, she said.My life belongs to him,said Fuentes, who lives in Hollywood and works at a mortgage company. People say, You're brainwashed. I say, look, I'm happy. I didn't drink any poison.José Luis De Jesús Miranda was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1946.

He grew up in a poor neighborhood and says he became a heroin addict at age 14. After landing in jail for theft, De Jesús converted to a conservative Protestant movement through a faith-based juvenile justice program. He later moved to Lawrence, Mass., joined an evangelical church and became a pastor.

In 1986, De Jesús moved his wife and five children to a rented one-bedroom apartment in North Miami after, he says, God told him to found a Florida church. De Jesús rented a Hialeah warehouse to hold services and more than 500 people showed up the first Sunday.As the movement mushroomed, De Jesús retained tight control over the message. Today, only De Jesús and his right-hand man, Carlos Cestero, are allowed to preach. Followers repeat De Jesús' distinct religious vocabularly, calling other religions the system,and labeling his religious messages codes.I don't study the Bible,he said, chuckling. I don't go into rooms for prayer. Who am I going to pray to?In his quest to form God's government on earth,De Jesús has created a powerful financial and religious network.

De Jesús congregants run more than 450 businesses, including a Miami mortgage business, a massage parlor in Honduras and a Brazilian restaurant in the Dolphin Mall.Some of the companies bear the title Apos,short for apostle. Among them is Apos Mortgage in Hallandale Beach and Apos Health and Beauty in Miami. Many of the businesses give 10 percent or more of their proceeds to the church, said Alvaro Albarracin, a church member and enthusiastic donor who holds the title Entrepreneur of Entrepreneurs.De Jesús said all the money feeds into the ministry. The satellite network costs about some $40,000 a month, while the Doral headquarters costs about $1.4 million a year to maintain. He receives an annual salary of $98,000, he said.

WEALTH PRAISED

His followers reject the notion that religious leaders should live modestly. Albarracin,who heads MiamiLA Entertainment -- a film production company that lists De Jesús as its owner and chairman on its website credits De Jesús with his financial success, calling him his personal angel.When he joined the church more than a decade ago, Albarracin was working as a salesman at Rooms To Go. Within a few years, Albarracin started a website, and then a successful Web-hosting company. In 2002, he sold the company, Dialtone Internet, for more than $16 million. He said he gave 20 percent of the profits to Creciendo en Gracia.Albarracin said his parents used to belong to the movement but became suspicious when he started giving De Jesús so much money. He no longer speaks to his parents.Albarracin chooses to side with his prophet.This could be the truth, or this could be the biggest cult that ever existed, the said with a smile. I'm cashing in on the truth.

WORLD TERRORISM

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

2 PETER 2:5
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2 PETER 3:7
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

LEVITICUS 26:16
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you( sudden) terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Now the poor Pope is getting harassed from the muslims for speaking Truth. Look for the Usual riots and burning of Catholic Churches now that the muslims are against the pope. I must say once again Islam is such a peaceful, forgiving religion is it not.

RIGHT..............?????????????

Muslim anger grows at Pope speech

The Pope's comments came on a visit to Germany A statement from the Vatican has failed to quell criticism of Pope Benedict XVI from Muslim leaders, after he made a speech about the concept of holy war. Speaking in Germany, the Pope quoted a 14th Century Christian emperor who said the Prophet Muhammad had brought the world only evil and inhuman things. Pakistan's parliament passed a resolution on Friday criticising the Pope for making derogatory comments. The Vatican said the Pope had not intended to offend Muslims. It is clear that the Holy Father's intention is to cultivate a position of respect and dialogue towards other religions and cultures, and that clearly includes Islam,said chief Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi in a statement.

But in spite of the statement, the pontiff returned to Rome to face a barrage of criticism, reports the BBC's David Willey in Rome. The head of the Muslim Brotherhood said the Pope's remarks aroused the anger of the whole Islamic world.

Violence and faith

The controversy comes on an important day for the Vatican, with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, former Archbishop of Genoa, taking over as secretary of state. Our correspondent says Pope Benedict, who has been closeted with his chief advisers at his summer residence near Rome, is upset at the way in which his remarks have been interpreted. But there is no sense of panic at the Vatican, he says, and preparation for the Pope's forthcoming visit to Turkey, a predominantly Muslim secular nation, next November, are going ahead as planned.In his speech at Regensburg University, the German-born Pope explored the historical and philosophical differences between Islam and Christianity, and the relationship between violence and faith. Stressing that they were not his own words, he quoted Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian empire which had its capital in what is now the Turkish city of Istanbul.

The emperor's words were, he said: Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached. Benedict said I quote twice to stress the words were not his and added that violence was incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul. The intention here is not one of retrenchment or negative criticism, but of broadening our concept of reason and its application,he added in the concluding part of his speech.Only thus do we become capable of that genuine dialogue of cultures and religions so urgently needed today.

Angry and hurt

Pakistan's parliament passed a resolution demanding that the Pope retract his remarks in the interest of harmony between religions. The derogatory remarks of the Pope about the philosophy of jihad and Prophet Mohammed have injured sentiments across the Muslim world and pose the danger of spreading acrimony among the religions,the AFP news agency quoted the resolution by the country's national assembly as saying. The remarks prompted fears of unrest in Indian-administered Kashmir, as a result of which two separatist leaders were put under house arrest. Meanwhile, the hostile remarks drew a demand for an apology from a top religious official in Turkey. Ali Bardakoglu recalled atrocities committed by Roman Catholic Crusaders against Orthodox Christians and Jews, as well as Muslims, in the Middle Ages.

In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood head Mohammed Mahdi Akef said the Pope's words do not express correct understanding of Islam and are merely wrong and distorted beliefs being repeated in the West. The 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference also said it regretted the Pope's remarks.

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

DECIEVERS WAXING WORSE AND WORSE.

2 TIMOTHY 3:13
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Woman killed in Montreal shooting, attacker gunned down by police
09/14/2006

Scores of panicked students at Dawson College fled into the streets of Canada's second largest city after the shooting began around lunch time on Wednesday.

A young man in a black trench coat and a mohawk haircut opened fire at a Montreal college, killing a woman and wounding at least 19 other people before police shot and killed him, witnesses and authorities said.

Scores of panicked students at Dawson College fled into the streets of Canada's second largest city after the shooting began around lunch time on Wednesday.Some had clothes stained with blood; others cried and clung to each other. Two nearby shopping centres and a daycare centre also were evacuated and the subway service was disrupted.Witnesses said the attacker started firing outside the college before walking in the front door. Much of the shooting was in the second-floor cafeteria, where students dropped to the floor and lay in terror. At times the gunman hid behind vending machines before emerging to take aim. Teachers ran through the halls, telling everyone to get out of the building.

Acting alone

Police were near the scene on an unrelated call and called for backup. Police hid behind a wall as they exchanged fire with the gunman, whose back was against a vending machine, said student Andrea Barone, who was in the cafeteria. Montreal Police Chief Yvan Delorme said the suspect had three weapons. He did not specify what, but said one may have been an automatic because of the rate of firing.Delorme said the attacker appeared to be acting alone and was shooting haphazardly. He then aimed at police before he was gunned down.Police with guns drawn stood behind a police cruiser as a SWAT team swarmed the 12-acre (nearly 5-hectare) campus.

Eight in critical condition

Montreal General Hospital said 11 people were admitted, including eight who were in critical condition. Nine others were taken to two other hospitals.One young woman later died, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the victim's next-of-kin had not yet been notified.The shooting recalled the 1999 attack at Columbine High School in the US state of Colorado, where two students wearing trench coats killed 13 people before killing themselves.Canada's worst mass shooting also happened in Montreal. Gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself.
