The Nation's Weather By WEATHER UNDERGROUND, For The Associated Press
Sun May 13, 4:59 AM ET

Showers and some thunderstorms were forecast for Sunday along the Southeast Coast, as a slow-moving frontal system drifts out into the Atlantic Ocean. A high pressure system was expected to move over the Great Lakes toward the Northeast and keep much of the eastern half of the country dry.

Showers and some thunderstorms were expected to develop in parts of the Southwest and Southern Rockies.Temperatures nearing 100 degrees were possible in the Southwest, while the Southeast was to see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Highs in the 60s and 70s were expected in the Northeast and Northwest.Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Saturday ranged from a low of 30 degrees at Lake Yellowstone, Mont., to a high of 107 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.

Scientists monitor undersea volcano By DAVID McFADDEN, Associated Press Writer Sun May 13, 3:18 AM ET

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Researchers have installed a seismometer atop an active volcano called Kick 'em Jenny under the Caribbean Sea to warn of eruptions or earthquake activity, scientists said Saturday. The device allows scientists to collect real-time rumbling from tremors or as bubbling magma and gases are released from the volcano, about 820 feet beneath the sea's surface off Grenada's northwest coast.The system essentially acts as a kind of doctor's stethoscope so we can directly listen to the pulse of the volcano, said Richard Robertson, director of the Seismic Research Unit at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad.He said the seismometer is connected to a flexible hose that runs to a buoy, where a high-frequency radio transmitter sends readings to an observatory in a northern Grenadian village — all within milliseconds.

A team of scientists led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts attached the monitoring system to the volcano by a remote-controlled underwater craft on May 6.By putting a seismometer right on the volcano we will significantly improve our ability to detect precursory activity before an eruption takes place, said Woods Hole scientist Rob Reves-Sohn.Since its discovery in 1939, when it shot a cloud of ash 900 feet above the sea surface, Kick em Jenny has erupted at least 12 times, most recently in 2001. The volcano, which rises above the sea floor on the steep inner western slope of the Lesser Antilles ridge, has not caused any deaths or injuries.In 2003, scientists discovered a field of five other active underwater volcanos off Grenada's north coast. The largest, nearly one-mile high, was dubbed Kick 'em Jack, after its neighbor.

Fog, lower temps take bite out of California wildfires Sat May 12, 5:16 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Lower temperatures and fog cover on Saturday combined to reduce the virulence of a raging fire that has been blazing in southern California, which is unusually dry for this time of year. Fire officials said the blaze that forced evacuations and consumed 10 percent of Santa Catalina Island, a nature reserve and popular day-trip destination near Los Angeles, was 35 percent contained late Friday and residents were beginning to return.The fire tore through more than 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares) after erupting suddenly on Thursday, just as firefighters were gaining the upper hand on a another blaze that devastated more than 800 acres (300 hectares) of Los Angeles' historic Griffith Park.

The fog cover and lower temperatures on Saturday (65 degrees Fahrenheit, 18 degrees Celsius) followed a drop in winds Friday and increased humidity that allowed firefighters to make significant inroads into the island blaze.No one was reported injured by the fire, though at least one house and several buildings were destroyed, officials said.Los Angeles is in the grip of the driest start to the year since records began in 1877, according to the National Weather Service.Meanwhile, fires continued to rage in the southern state of Florida, causing several highways to close and consuming more than 212,000 acres (86,000 hectares), state and federal agencies said.

Wildfire forces evacuations in northwestern Ontario
Last Updated: Saturday, May 12, 2007 | 7:25 PM ET CBC News

Emergency officials advised hundreds of residents in northwestern Ontario to evacuate their cottages Saturday as a wildfire raged out of control in the region. The fire began at an unattended campsite across the border in Northern Minnesota several days ago.A forest fire burns about 75 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ont. Police and fire officials were going door to door Saturday to ensure people were leaving the area. (CBC) Staff with Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources spent
Saturday checking cottages in the area, about 75 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, making sure people left the danger zone.We're asking individuals to leave the area for public safety reasons, said Dave Jackson, a fire information officer with Natural Resources.I don't think they'll need an awful lot of convincing because there is quite a bit of smoke from the nearby fire.

Ministry officials estimated the fire had scorched about 100 square kilometres on the Canadian side of the border. U.S. officials said it had already burned about 120 square kilometres in Minnesota.An evacuation order was first issued Friday and was expanded Saturday because of fears about changing wind conditions.Jackson said there were no major communities in the border area that is studded with lakes, mostly hunting and fishing lodges and cottages.Officials estimated there were between 200 and 300 people in the area.We're in the process of going door to door and documenting who's in and who's out, Jackson said.Ontario Provincial Police were called in to look for people in the evacuation zone, a time-consuming process because the cottages are spread apart, Jackson said.Roads into the area have been blocked and nobody was being allowed in, he added.A wider area encompassing another 400 to 500 cottages was under evacuation alert in case the fire further expands on the Canadian side.We're constantly assessing it, Jackson said.Ontario officials were in the process of preparing efforts to actually fight the fire, he added.With files from the Canadian Press.

Livni hints at West Bank pullouts
Associated Press - Saturday, May 12, 2007 (Jerusalem)

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni pledged in comments published on Saturday that Israel would make further withdrawals from the West Bank to facilitate the creation of a Palestinian state.But she said that the process was being hindered by moderate Palestinian leaders' inability to rein in militants.

In an interview with Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram, Livni, who has said she will challenge Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for leadership of their Kadima party, says the 2005 pullback from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements will not be the last Israeli withdrawals from Palestinian areas. I can assure you that Gaza is not the last step, we are convinced that to establish a Palestinian state, we have to withdraw from other areas, she said. We do not want to control the Palestinians.No detail on timing .She did not detail the extent or timing of another round of pullbacks.Violence between rival Palestinian groups and bloody family feuds have spiraled of late.

Palestinians have repeatedly fired rockets from Gaza at Israel in recent weeks, breaching a ceasefire in place along the Gaza-Israel border since November and prompting speculation about a possible large-scale Israeli incursion into the strip.Defence Minister Amir Peretz said on Saturday that an Israeli ground operation in Gaza should only be carried out as a last resort.I think that going into Gaza is an option that should be kept for a situation where there is absolutely no other alternative, he told a public meeting in the Israeli town of Holon.Peretz has said he would step down as Defence Minister but will probably wait until after his Labour Party has held its primaries at the end of the month.

Peretz, along with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former army chief Lt Gen Dan Halutz, was criticised by an official commission for his handling of last summer's Lebanon war.

Seek Olmert's resignation Livni has called on Olmert to resign.

The latest comments from Livni and Peretz came a day before Jordanian KingAbdullah's scheduled trip to the West Bank town of Ramallah on Sunday for talks withPalestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the king's first visit in seven years.Olmert is to meet Abdullah in Jordan on Tuesday on the sidelines of a Nobel Laureates conference in Petra.Palestinian and Israeli officials denied reports of a planned trilateral meeting between the king, Olmert and Abbas.

Israeli Cabinet debates Gaza operation By LAURIE COPANS, Associated Press Writer Sun May 13, 5:34 AM ET

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's senior ministers were expected on Sunday to approve intensified operations against Gaza Strip rocket squads, but to stop short of authorizing a large-scale operation to try to stop daily attacks on southern Israel, government officials said. The rocket fire generates great panic in areas of southern Israel that are frequent targets, but harsh military action is liable to upset efforts to revive the peace process.

Israeli defense officials have cautioned that the Gaza Strip is becoming a powder keg as militants smuggle in weapons from Egypt and militants affiliated with the ruling Hamas movement become involved in the rocket fire.The rocket fire rarely causes casualties but violates a November cease-fire with Gaza militants. Three missiles were launched early Sunday, but no one was hurt, the army said.Israel's so-called Security Cabinet was debating how to respond to the rocket fire at a time of increased diplomatic activity designed to prod Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table. Jordan's King Abdullah was to pay a rare visit to the West Bank later in the day to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, where the two were likely to discuss an Arab proposal for a comprehensive Mideast peace.

Olmert and Abdullah are to talk about the initiative on Tuesday in a meeting in Petra, Jordan, and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni discussed the plan last week with her Egyptian and Jordanian counterparts in Cairo.At Israel's Security Cabinet meeting, senior defense officials were to present a range of options to counter the rocket fire. While senior commanders support a large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip, most of the defense establishment does not, defense officials said Sunday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with the press.The defense officials will propose increased strikes against rocket-launchers and operations in outlying areas of the Gaza Strip where the projectiles are fired, they said.Israeli ministers, including Defense Minister Amir Peretz, do not at this time support a large operation in Gaza, government officials said Sunday.I think that at this moment a large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip won't bring solutions, said Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, a member of the security Cabinet and a former defense minister and military chief of staff. Mofaz said he thought pinpoint air strikes against rocket squads and limited ground operations would be more effective.

Such action would not constitute a drastic change in Israel's current retaliation practices, but could further unravel the truce Israel and Gaza militants reached in November following a harsh Israeli military campaign that killed hundreds of militants but provoked radicals to increase the rocket fire.

Moderate Arab states are pressing Israel to accept a Saudi Arabian peace plan that would trade a full Israeli withdrawal from areas captured in 1967 for Arab states' recognition of Israel.Abdullah's meetings with Abbas and Olmert this week signified an increased effort to push forward talks on the plan, which had been presented by Saudi Arabia in 2002 and was revived in March.

Israel and the United States have said the proposal could be a basis for reviving Arab-Israeli peacemaking. But Israel has expressed reservations over many of its provisions, including the call to solve the Palestinian refugee issue.Abdullah's visit to the Palestinian areas was rare, and he was not visiting Israel ahead of his meeting with Olmert, on the sidelines of a conference of Nobel laureates. Abdullah visited the West Bank once before, in 2000. He made a secret trip to Israel in 2004 to visit then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and paid a public visit in August 2000, a month before the Palestinian uprising against Israel broke out.Abbas was invited to attend the event in Petra, but declined, apparently reluctant to get entangled in a three-way meeting with the king and Olmert that he thinks would not yield the Palestinians any concrete results. Livni said in comments published Saturday that Israel wanted to carry out further withdrawals from the West Bank to facilitate creation of a Palestinian state but the Palestinians' inability to rein in militants has hindered the process.She told the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram that Israel's 2005 pullback from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements will not be the last withdrawals from Palestinian areas.

DANIEL 11:36-39
36 And the king (EU DICTATOR) 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,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS JEWISH) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.(CLAIM TO BE GOD)
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(WAR) 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,(DESTROY TERROR GROUPS) whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.

EU proposes monitoring radical mosques By COLLEEN BARRY, Associated Press Writer Sat May 12, 4:30 PM ET

VENICE, Italy - Security officials from Europe's largest countries backed a plan Saturday to profile mosques on the continent and identify radical Islamic clerics who raise the threat of homegrown terrorism. The project, to be finished by the fall, will focus on the roles of imams, their training, their ability to speak in the local language and their sources of funding, EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini told a news conference after a meeting on terrorism.

Italian Interior Minister Guiliano Amato said Europe had extensive experience with the misuse of mosques, which instead of being places of worship are used for other ends.This is bringing about a situation that involves all of our countries and involves the possibility of attacks and developing of networks that use one country to prepare an attack in another, Amato said.

The transit attacks in Madrid and London along with several thwarted terror plots — have raised concerns across Europe about the susceptibility of disaffected young Muslims to the messages of extremist clerics.British police have said the bombers in the July 2005 London suicide attacks listened to the sermons of Abu Hamza al-Masri, a radical cleric who was sentenced last year to seven years in prison for inciting followers to kill non-Muslims.

Britain also recently ordered the deportation of a Jordanian-born cleric, Abu Qatada, accusing him of links to terrorism and being a threat to national security. Abu Qatada is appealing.Adel Smith, a well-known Muslim activist in Italy, said mosques in Italy are already extensively monitored and called the EU plan discriminatory.I think this is nonsense, I think mosques have been well monitored for some years, he said in a telephone interview. It is a form of religious discrimination.Frattini emphasized the need of deeper dialogue with the Islamic communities to avoid sending messages that incite hate and violence.

Separately, the security officials from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland also pledged to work with African nations to interrupt a new cocaine route from Colombia across Africa into Europe.They have created bases in Europe and we need to have our counter-bases, Amato said, noting that the Spaniards have seen an influx of cocaine in the south and east of their country coming from beyond the traditional Atlantic route.The officials proposed setting up drug-fighting bases in Portugal to monitor smuggling by sea and in Gibraltar to watch land routes.

More Than 1,000 Expected at Joseph's Tomb, With or Without IDF
by Ezra HaLevi (INN) MAY 13,07

Organizers of the mass entry into PA-assigned Shechem (Nablus) to visit Josephs Tomb say the worshipers are expected to make the pilgrimage despite IDF security warnings. The IDF announced that the entry to Josephs Tomb would endanger civilians and interfere with IDF activities in the region.

Moshe, one of those planning on making the journey regardless of IDF warnings, told Army Radio Sunday morning that, Whereas under former IDF Central Regional Commander Moshe Kaplinsky there were several organized visits to the Tomb, ever since Yair Naveh took the position, there have been almost no organized entries at all.Asked whether he was concerned about endangering his own life and the lives of those entering Shechem due to concrete terror threats reported by the IDF, Moshe said: We have heard the same story of concrete threats by the IDF many times. They know that we know they can handle it, but Central Commander Naveh simply wants to demonstrate his ability to scare us away from Josephs Tomb, which we are supposed to be able to pray at even under the Oslo Accords.Organizers cite the IDF's opposition to recent mass returns to Homesh, which, rather than physically opposing, it stood aside and allowed at the last minute.

Over 1,000 people are expected to attempt to reach the tomb, around which the modern Arab city of Shechem has been built. Sunday night is the date of the 49-day Omer count between Pesach and Shavuot associated most with Joseph, whose undocumented date of death is also observed on that night. Groups of dozens of Breslov Chassidim have in the past succeeded in circumventing IDF checkpoints and praying at the tomb. Organizers have requested that right-wing Knesset Members convince the IDF to allow an organized visit if there truly are security concerns. We are dealing with hundreds of youths, over which there is no control, Moshe told Arutz-7. We are dealing with people who are very angry that for two years they have not been allowed to visit Josephs Tomb. They want to prove to the army that if it cannot succeed in securing entry to the city of Shechem, then they can get along on their own. Most of them have already done this dozens of times.MK Uri Ariel (National Union-NRP) rejected calls to pressure the IDF, and instead called upon Jews considering entering Shechem not to endanger themselves. He also called upon the IDF to begin organizing secured visits as it used to do in the past.

Illegal Entry Probably Not Necessary, Organizers Say After Meeting

After meeting with IDF officials, who promised an organized visit would be granted in the very near future, organizers announced that worshipers should refrain from entering Shechem on their own Sunday night, but should gather at nearby Jewish communities such as Itamar and Yitzhar in order to pressure the IDF to commit to providing safe passage in return for calling off the unauthorized pilgrimage.We are awaiting final notice from the IDF on what their response will be, Moshe told Arutz-7 Sunday afternoon.

Report: IDF and UN Soldiers Had Three Incidents in Past Month
by Ezra HaLevi (INN) MAY 13,07

The IDF and European soldiers serving in a UN peacekeeper force in Lebanon have come close to engaging each other in combat three times in the last month, according to foreign press reports.

German officials confirmed a Rheinische Post report that there had been three incidents recently involving the IDF and UN peacekeepers. The IDF spokesman also confirmed that Israel has investigated two complaints against its army by UN troops. One of the incidents took place on April 30 and involved German and Israeli naval vessels. According to the German press report,Germanys SS Niedersachsen took steps toward attacking an IDF naval vessel traveling toward it because the Israeli vessel did not identify itself. Another incident involved Israeli fighter jets that approached German ships, according to German statements.

A third incident, also reported by Germany, allegedly involved an Israeli Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) approaching a Swedish speedboat, though no complaint was filed by Sweden. Last October, incidents between German forces in Lebanon and IDF forces led to an apology by PM Olmert for misunderstandings. A German naval vessel, at the time, on an unannounced intelligence-gathering mission was targeted by IAF fighter jets, which fired warning shots over the ship. Germanys command center for its peacekeeper troops in Lebanon is located in the German city of Potsdam.

The countrys Foreign Ministry downplayed the incidents, saying they would be worked out with Israel directly.

Bush to pressure Senate to revive U.N. sea treaty
Critics say it would put 70% of Earth under control of global bureaucracy
May 13, 2007 - WorldNetDaily.com

WASHINGTON – In a move that has already angered some of his most ardent supporters, President Bush has asked the Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate to revive a proposal for ratification of the United Nation's Law of the Sea Treaty, an international agreement defeated two years ago by Republican leadership in the upper house. Critics say ratification would compromise U.S. sovereignty and place 70 percent of the Earth's surface under the control of the U.N. – even providing for a tax that would be paid directly to the international body by companies mining in the world's oceans.

The battle over the Law of the Sea Treaty first began 25 years ago, eventually being vetoed by President Reagan. It resurfaced in 2004 under the sponsorship of Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and was successfully defeated by then Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. President Bush announced his intention to seek reintroduction of LOST for ratification to a small group of trusted Republican grass-roots organizers last week – an announcement that was met with horror and scorn.

Eagle Forum leader Phyllis Schlafly, Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney, Leadership Institute President Morton Blackwell, Free Congress Foundation founder Paul Weyrich and leaders of the Heritage Foundation were quick to denounce the idea in forceful terms, calling on their members to begin lobbying the White House immediately.

LOST has long had the support of environmental groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council. It would establish rules governing the uses of the of the world's oceans – treating waters more than 200 nautical miles off coasts as the purview of a new international U.N. bureaucracy, the International Seabed Authority The ISA would have the authority to set production controls for ocean mining, drilling and fishing, regulate ocean exploration, issue permits and settle disputes in its own new court.Companies seeking to mine or fish would be required to apply for a permit, paying a royalty fee Critics also point out the new U.N. agency would have the right to compete directly with private companies in those profit-making activities. The U.S. would have only one vote of 140 – and no veto power as it has on the U.N. Security Council.

The Bush administration claims the initiative for reintroduction of the treaty comes from the military, which likes the 12-mile territorial limits it places on national claims to waters. Yet, critics point out international law already protects non-aggressive passage, including non-wartime activities of military ships. One of the main authors of LOST not only admired Karl Marx but was an ardent advocate of the Marxist-oriented New International Economic Order.

Elisabeth Mann Borgese, a socialist who ran the World Federalists of Canada, played a critical role in crafting and promoting LOST, as WND reported in 2005. Borgese was hailed by her U.N. supporters as the Mother of the Oceans or First Lady of the Oceans. She died in 2002. The youngest daughter of the German novelist Thomas Mann, Borgese openly favored world government, wrote for the left-wing The Nation magazine and was a member of a Committee to Frame a World Constitution. She served as director of the International Center for Ocean Development and chairman of the International Oceans Institute at Dalhousie University in Canada. The U.N. Environment Program, UNEP, has said that Borgese recognized the oceans as a possible test-bed for ideas she had developed concerning a common global constitution.

Borgese received UNEP's Environment Prize in 1987 and was credited with organizing the conferences that served to lay the foundation for the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, according to Dalhousie University, which houses her archives. In a 1995 speech, pro-U.N. Democratic Sen. Claiborne Pell said Borgese's ideas were embodied in the negotiated texts of the Law of the Sea Convention.Her ideas included recognizing the oceans as the common heritage of mankind and creating an International Seabed Authority to charge U.S. and foreign companies for the right to mine the ocean floor. In a January 1999 speech, Borgese declared, The world ocean has been, and is, so to speak, our great laboratory for the making of a new world order.

In an article titled, The New International Economic Order and the Law of the Sea, she argued that the pact could reinforce the goals of the NIEO by giving Third World countries a role in managing access to the oceans. In a 1997 interview, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster Philip Coulter asked Borgese about the collapse of Soviet-style communism and the triumph of the elites.Borgese replied there is a strong counter-trend. It's not called socialism, but it's called sustainable development, which calls ... for the eradication of poverty. There is that trend and that is the trend that I am working on.The concept of sustainable development, considered a euphemism for socialism or communism, has been embraced in various pronouncements by the U.N. and even the U.S. government.

In her book, The Oceanic Circle: Governing the Seas as a Global Resource, she approvingly cites Karl Marx, the father of communism, as someone with amazing foresight about the problems faced by urban and rural societies.

The book is available from the liberal Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. In an article co-authored with an international lawyer, Borgese noted how LOST stipulates that the oceans shall be reserved for peaceful purposes and that any threat or use of force, inconsistent with the United Nations Charter, is prohibited.She argued LOST prohibits the ability of nuclear submarines from the U.S. and other nations to rove freely through the world's oceans.

Islamic Extremists Believe God Will Give Jerusalem to Islam
May 12, 2007 12:27 PM EST

Sheikh Raad Salah has promised Islamic radicals that the Holy City, Jerusalem, will be obtained by Muslims per commission from deity, according to Nissan Ratzlay-Katz of Artuz-Sheva.Salah has received the heavenly promise.

Therefore, he is urging Muslims to flood the Temple Mount—clans, families, individuals, whomever. The more Muslims who appear there every day to pray in the Al-Aksa mosque, the more Jews will realize they don’t stand a chance.The Temple Mount is the site of the original temple’s site. It is also where the Muslims’ Dome of the Rock is located. Therefore, the tussle between Jews and Muslims goes on endlessly. Unfortunately, years ago the Jewish government gave oversight of the area to Muslims. Since then they have made it very difficult for Christians and Jews to even appear at the Temple Mount. Muslims have restrictions that state that no Jew or Christian can appear as doing anything spiritual on the Temple Mount. No copy of the Bible.

No bowing the head in prayer. No talk about the faith. All secular unless Muslim.
Sheikh Raad Salah, the head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, has been working hard to ensure that thousands of Muslims will arrive in Jerusalem's Old City every day to pray in the Al-Aksa mosque, located on the Temple Mount.

Salah has been talking with Arab clan leaders from Jerusalem and its environs in an effort to convince them to take turns bringing their entire extended families to the mosque. Salah also said that he plans to see to it that Jerusalem mosques are closed on Friday, the Muslim day of rest, in order to force all those who wish to take part in group prayers to travel to the Al-Aksa mosque. He has talked to Muslim leaders in other parts of Israel, asking them to tell their followers to visit the Jerusalem mosque in order to demonstrate a strong Muslim presence there. Such a presence, Salah is telling local Muslims, is the best defense against Israeli aggression.
Muslims have already put bulldozers on the Temple Mount by which to rid the locale of anyantiquities dating back to Old Testament times, particularly anything having to do with King Solomon, the monarch who constructed the original temple. For instance, Solomon’s stables have been obliterated.

All the while religious Jews are quite irritated at secular Jews seemingly not caring enough to do anything truly major in order to stave off Muslim activity.Salah expressed his conviction that Jerusalem will fall into Muslim hands by Heavenly promise. He also said that in such a conquest, no sign of a Jewish presence will remain.Several months ago, Jerusalem police initiated an investigation of Salah for incitement-filled, anti-Israel speeches he made in Nazareth and Wadi Joz. Earlier, he was banned from Jerusalem for several days after inciting violent mobs against Israeli policemen. Salah claimed that Israel was trying to destroy the mosques on the Temple Mount. He was also accused of attacking a police officer during the anti-Israel demonstrations. The Islamic Movement is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, as is Hamas. Group members call Salah the leader of the 1948 branch.

It is the Muslim Brotherhood that has brought havoc to Egypt’s political leadership. In fact, in a recent nationwide election, Egyptian police thwarted Muslim Brotherhood members from getting to the polls.

The police were afraid Brotherhood candidates would gain a powerful block within Egyptian government.Christians believe that at the Second Coming of Christ, Christ will rule from Jerusalem. His worldwide reign will be holy. Along with Him will be saints of all ages. They will rule in politics and religion with Him. The Book of Revelation speaks of Christ’s emissaries as kings (politics) and priests (religion) while He is regarded as King of Kings (politics) and Lord of Lords (religion).

Christ’s reign will be for a thousand years while Satan is bound in the Bottomless Pit; however, Satan’s demons will still be operative on the planet. The purity of heaven will not come about until Earth is dissolved at the close of the millennium. Perfection will only be realized by the redeemed in the eternal New Heaven and the New Earth.In the meantime, the fight over the Temple Mount symbolizes the conflict between the devotees of the biblical deity and the deity of the Koran.

ISRAEL WILL BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, THE SIGN OF THE START OF THE LASTGENERATION. (A GENERATION IN THE BIBLE CAN BE FROM 40 TO 51 YEARS)INTERESTING THIS IS THE 40TH YEAR SINCE ISRAEL RECAPTURED JERUSALEM.

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.(1967)

AT THE END OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION, THE TRUE MESSIAH JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH BODILY TO RULE AND REIGN FROM DAVIDS THRONE FOREVER IN JERUSALEM.

ACTS 1:10-11
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

ZECHARIAH 14:4
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.

REVELATION 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

JUDE 14-16
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.
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.

Week of Celebrations in Jerusalem
by Hillel Fendel (INN) MAY 13,07

Israel and world Jewry celebrate the 40th anniversary of Jerusalem's unification in the Six Day War this week. The European Union plans to boycott.Though Jerusalem Day is celebrated on the 28th day of the Jewish month of Iyar, which falls this year on Wednesday, May 16, the celebrations will take place all week. The government's weekly Cabinet session today (Sunday) will be largely dedicated to Jerusalem, as will a special Knesset session tomorrow, which will be followed by a musical festival featuring Avihu Medina, Shuli Natan and others.The walls of the Old City will be lit up in a unique manner, as will the streets, overpasses and central sites. On Tuesday evening, some 10,000 people are expected to take part in a farmers' parade, which will feature exhibits, floats, tractors, bands, dancers and even acrobats.

Also Tuesday evening, beginning at 7 PM, actors from the Jerusalem street theater Virtuoso will enact scenes from the period of the establishment of the State. Interspersed with their acts will be circus tricks of various kinds, musicians, drummers' circles, dancers and field games. A giant park festival will conclude the evening.Asked about the lack of religious-oriented municipal festivities, Deputy
Mayor Yehoshua Pollack told Arutz-7, the religious public celebrates in the syngagogues and Torah study halls.

Traditional Merkaz HaRav Kook Celebration

On Tuesday night, the central religious-thanksgiving celebration will be held in Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook in the Kiryat Moshe neighborhood. Leading politicians such as the Prime Minister often participated, but of late, secular politicians have not been invited.

It is not yet clear what the plans are for this year.On Wednesday, thousands of youngsters and others will march in the now-traditional Rikudgalim (Flag Dance) March, from downtown Jerusalem to the Western Wall. Roads in the capital will be closed as the marchers advance towards the Old City. In addition, a marathon of musicians in various locations and short Maaleh Film School movies will occupy much of Wednesday.

Admission will be free to the Israel Museum, the Science Museum and other sites. On Wednesday night, a main event featuring the Paratroopers Brigade that liberated the Old City will be held at Sultan's Pool. Thursday will see a Tour de Jerusalem bicycle event, as well as an afternoon of cycling at Kibbutz Ramat Rachel in the southern part of the city.Putting a slight damper on the festivities, even if not unexpected, is the European Union's boycott. German's Ambassador to Israel has informed the Knesset that the European Union plans to boycott all Jerusalem Day celebrations, including the special Knesset session. He explained that the EU cannot take part in an event that implies recognition of the current borders of Jerusalem. Despite this, some 20 ambassadors from around the world have said that they will take part, and some EU ambassadors have hinted that they might participate as well.
