PROPHECY POLL - A Thief in the Night?
_________________________________________

The Prophecy Poll Question for August was:
What does Jesus mean, when He describes His coming as, a thief in the night?

The results were:

True believers will unexpectedly be
taken away in the Rapture of the Church. 34%

Jesus' coming for His saints will be a
surprise to unbelievers, who are in darkness 49%

Jesus will return in stealth at night. 2%

Other 15%

Don't Know 0%

Well in my eyes the 49% got it right, JESUS will return off guard and UNGODLY MEN AND WOMEN won't have a clue what happened. Then the Tribulation and Judgements really occur on the UNGODLY.

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.

Far-off Florence could become a hurricane Wed Sep 6, 8:20 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Florence, which remains far from land and may not make landfall in the United States, could strengthen into the second hurricane of the Atlantic season within 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Wednesday.

The NHC forecast the storm, which is packing maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour, could strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane (winds of 74-95 mph) within 48 hours, a Category 2 hurricane (winds of 96-110 mph) within 96 hours and then garner near Category 3 (winds of 111-130 mph) strength within 120 hours.

The five-day NHC track of Florence shows the storm will likely pass between Puerto Rico and Bermuda on Saturday without nearing either island before turning north toward the west side of Bermuda on Monday. Over the next several days, however, that track can change.All of the other weather models mirror the NHC forecast track for the next few days. But after that, two models show the storm turning north toward Bermuda, one shows the storm turning south toward Haiti, and a couple show the storm continuing west toward the U.S. East Coast.

The NHC will issue another advisory on Florence at 11 a.m. EDT (1500GMT).Separately, the NHC said there was a poorly organized tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cape Verde Islands.Some weather models show the wave will continue west-northwest toward the Lesser Antilles, which include the West Indian islands between the Virgin Islands in the north and Trinidad and Tobago in the south.

Indonesian volcano put on high alert Wed Sep 6, 6:31 AM ET

JAKARTA (AFP) - Mount Bromo, a volcano on the Indonesian island of Java, has been put on high alert after it showed increasing signs of an impending eruption.We have increased the alert status to (the) second-highest since 10 pm (1500 GMT) last night,Toto Hendrasto, an official from the directorate of vulcanology and geological disaster mitigation told AFP.According to the directorate's website, the standby alert level signifies that if the trend of increasing volcanic activity continues an eruption is possible within 2 weeks.Mount Bromo, a popular tourist destination in the eastern part of densely-populated Java, last erupted in June 2004 killing one local resident.

Visitors are still allowed to come as far as the hotel, about one kilometre from the peak,said Hendrasto of a major hotel at the rim of the wide expanse of sand around Bromo's crater.Indonesia sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where continental plates meet and cause frequent volcanic and seismic activity.In May, Mount Merapi, another volcano on Java, was on highest alert for about two months forcing about 4,000 villagers from surrounding areas to evacuate.

Space shuttle set for liftoff Wednesday By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated Press Writer Tue Sep 5, 2:53 PM ET

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Atlantis' six astronauts did some last-minute studying for their 11-day mission Tuesday as the weather forecast for Wednesday's space shuttle launch continued to look good.

The shuttle's commander, Brent Jett, and pilot, Chris Ferguson, used a Gulfstream jet to simulate landing the shuttle, while other crew members reviewed the complicated construction tasks ahead of them.The astronauts will resume building the space station for the first time since the Columbia disaster 3 1/2 years ago, adding a 17 1/2-ton truss to the orbiting outpost. Their mission includes three spacewalks.Forecasters said there was only a 30 percent chance that weather would prohibit the shuttle from blasting off as planned at 12:28 p.m., a slight worsening of the outlook from the previous day. But the launch window opens before Florida's afternoon summer thunderstorms normally blow through.

No major technical problems were reported a day before launch. Technicians had noticed a slightly hazardous reading of gaseous oxygen in the rear of the shuttle, but they considered it the result of a bad connection during fueling of the spacecraft's power cells and said they were not concerned.The first couple of inches is the hardest part of the whole flight, said LeRoy Cain, chairman of the mission management team. Anxious anticipation is how I would describe it.Atlantis originally was scheduled for liftoff Aug. 27 but was delayed, first by a lightning strike at the launch pad, then by Tropical Storm Ernesto.NASA had started to move Atlantis back to the hangar because of Ernesto but changed course last week. By sending the shuttle back to the launch pad, NASA gained enough time to prepare for a launch this week.If Atlantis doesn't get up in the air this week, the next chance probably won't come until the end of October.

The Russians plan on Sept. 18 to launch a Soyuz capsule ferrying two new station crew members and the space station's first female tourist, Dallas-area entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari. Officials with both space agencies did not want the shuttle and Soyuz at the space station simultaneously, for fear it would create a traffic jam.

Germany to make EU constitution a priority next year
05.09.2006 - 09:41 CET | By Honor Mahony(EU OBSERVER)

Germany's foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said that reviving the EU constitution will be one of the priorities of his country's EU presidency next year.Speaking before a gathering of German diplomats on Monday (4 September), Mr Steinmeier said We need a constitution as soon as possible.We need this constitution so that we can benefit from better representation in foreign policy and security issues. The constitution will improve the EU, he suggested.His French counterpart Philippe Douste-Blazy, who was present at the meeting, gave his backing to the document as well.

According to Reuters news agency, Mr Douste-Blazy told the group that France also wants to see the constitution project relaunched.The EU charter was rejected by both French and Dutch voters in referendums last year putting the bloc into a conundrum about how to solve the political tangle – as 15 countries have already ratified the document.Meeting in June after a one-year period of reflection, member states avoided taking any concrete decisions and instead set out a timetable.

Under this timetable, Germany will during its presidency present a report on the constitution based on extensive consultations with other member states.The report should contain an assessment of the state of discussion and explore possible future developments.Afterwards EU leaders should examine the report using it as the basis for further decisions.However member states have not committed themselves politically much further than this with the June statements concluding in a woolly manner that it is understood that the necessary steps to that effect will have been taken during the second semester of 2008 at the latest.In the second half of 2008, France will have the presidency of the EU and will be under new leadership following elections in 2007.

The Netherlands, facing elections in November this year, could have a new leader with analysts suggesting that only after elections in these two countries can a constitution revival be spoken about in any real sense.However, others are taking a more practical approach. EU commission president Jose Manuel Barroso has made it clear that he thinks the bloc should stop navel-gazing over its constitutional tangle and should rather focus on concrete things that it can achieve using its internal market.

EU urges Israel to call off West Bank home plans 55 minutes ago

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union urged Israel on Wednesday to call off plans to build 690 new homes in two Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, branding the move illegal and apt to raise regional tensions further. Government tenders were published on Monday inviting bids on 348 plots in the Maaleh Adumim settlement and 342 in Beitar Ilit, the largest number of housing bids for settlement building offered since Prime Minister Ehud Olmert took office on May 4.This planned construction threatens the viability of an agreed two-state solution. Like all settlement activity, it is contrary to international law,EU President Finland said in a statement.

Furthermore, the Presidency finds the solicitation of the tenders in question particularly unfortunate at a time when confidence-building measures are urgently needed in the region.The EU, whose nations have pledged to send over half of an
expanded U.N. peace force of 15,000 to Lebanon, is pushing for a revival of Middle East peace efforts around the 2003 U.S.-backed peace road map,which sets out a path toward a Palestinian state co-existing alongside Israel.Israel has an obligation under the road map to halt construction on land Palestinians seek for a state.But Olmert has suspended an election pledge to set Israel's final borders through a unilateral pullback from parts of the West Bank after Israel's month-long war with Hizbollah guerrillas in Lebanon that ended with an August 14 truce.

Some 240,000 Jewish settlers and 2.4 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, a territory Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.Israel disputes a World Court judgment that all Jewish settlements on occupied land are illegal. It points out that Palestinians have failed to meet their own obligation under the road map to dismantle militant groups.(additional reporting by Terhi Kinnunen in Helsinki)

MUSLIM NATIONS

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 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.

US cites Iran, Syria as worrisome threats by Olivier Knox
2 hours, 44 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) The White House branded Iran and Syria especially worrisome threats as it unveiled a reworked anti-terrorism plan that downplayed the impact of the Iraq war and the Arab-Israeli conflict. The 23-page US National Strategy for Combating Terrorism came out one week before the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks and two months before November legislative elections overshadowed by the unpopular Iraq war.The blueprint warned that the United States is not yet safe and that the topmost priority is keeping weapons of mass destruction (WMD) out of the hands of terrorist groups that are constantly adapting to thwart US defenses.Our greatest and gravest concern,the White House said, is WMD in the hands of terrorists.

Preventing their acquisition and the dire consequences of their use is a key priority of this strategy.

Most troubling is the potential WMD-terrorism nexus that emanates from Tehran. Syria also is a significant state sponsor of terrorism and thus a priority for concern,the report said.Osama bin Laden's network, which carried out the September 11 attacks, is significantly degraded but still dangerous and serves as the vanguard of loosely connected extremists linked by ideology, the report said.Bin Laden remains the number one target in terms of our efforts, but he's not the only target,Bush's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, Frances Townsend, told reporters.The document, which offered no new policies for fighting terrorism, said Washington would seek to isolate state sponsors of extremist violence and warned that Iranian and Syrian terrorist activities are especially worrisome.

Iran remains the most active state sponsor of international terrorism,said the report, which was released as US President George W. Bush was to make the second in a series of speeches on the war on terrorism.Through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Ministry of Intelligence and Security, the regime in Tehran plans terrorist operations and supports groups such as Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Iran also remains unwilling to account for and bring to justice senior Al-Qaeda members it detained in 2003,it said.Syria also is a significant state sponsor of terrorism and thus a priority for concern. The regime in Damascus supports and provides haven to Hezbollah, Hamas, and PIJ. We will continue to stand with the people of Iran and Syria against the regimes that oppress them at home and sponsor terror abroad,it said.Amid the soaring price tag and rising death toll in Iraq and uncertainty about US efforts to resolve the Middle East conflict, the report downplayed the impact of both crises as sources of anger that fuels extremist violence.

Terrorism is not simply a result of hostility to US policy in Iraq,it said.Terrorism is not simply a result of Israeli-Palestinian issues.

In each case, the White House said that Al-Qaeda had plotted the September 11 attacks in the 1990s, during an active period in Middle East peace talks and well before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.However, the report also acknowledged that the ongoing fight for freedom in Iraq has been twisted by terrorist propaganda as a rallying cry.Democrats fired back at what they described as the political motivations for the report, with Senator John Kerry, Bush's 2004 rival for the White House, calling it a laundry list of objectives to get them through the next news cycle or the next election.The report does nothing to kill Osama bin Laden or clean up the disastrous policy in Iraq that has fanned the flames of terror, Kerry said in a statement sent by electronic mail by a spokesman.

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds,(ALL THE WORLD) O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.(COME TO LIFE)
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.(ISRAEL WILL HAVE A POWERFUL ARMY)
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.(BURNED BY HITLER)
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.(THE DRY BONES COME TO LIFE IN ISRAEL)
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Seventh Summer Western Aliyah Plane Arrives
By Ezra HaLevi(INN)

The summer's seventh planeload carrying Western immigrants to Israel arrived Wednesday. More than 3,000 Jews have arrived this summer from North America and England. Wednesday’s flight included, among its 240 passengers, 70 young single men and women, 45 families and 30 retirees – hailing from 23 US states and Canadian provinces. The flight was organized, as were previous flights, by the Nefesh b’Nefesh organization, together with the Jewish Agency.Nefesh b’Nefesh co-founder Rabbi Yehoshua Fass addressed the new immigrants, speaking about the experience of seeing Biblical prophecies being fulfilled. Walking down the aisle of the airplane, seeing an 85-year-old and a 5-year-old share this same process; seeing a couple who survived the Holocaust filling out their paperwork; seeing single olim [Jewish immigrants] exchange numbers – it is truly a time of redemption.Two of the newest Israelis, Oren and Ora Nidam, knew forever that they wanted to make Israel their home. The couple grew up in the American Jewish heartland – Ora is from Fairlawn, New Jersey and Oren grew up in Westchester, New York.

They lived in Teaneck, New Jersey, but made all their decisions with Aliyah [immigration to Israel] in mind. Now, with their two-year-old daughter Kliel Amukah Tehillim and five-week-old son Nachman Mizmor L’David, they have finally made it. Ora says she looks forward to acclimating to both life in Israel and two-child motherhood simultaneously in their new hometown – Jerusalem.Over the past four years since its inception, Nefesh b’Nefesh has steadily increased the numbers of immigrants it has helped move to Israel. As crowds of soldiers, well-wishers and Aliyah enthusiasts cheered for the new arrivals, Rabbi Fass promised to bring unprecedented numbers home next summer.
