45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Russia to continue missile deployment
Reuters September 01, 2007, 23:35

Moscow: Russia will carry out a second deployment of new intercontinental ballistic missiles in December as part of President Vladimir Putin's programme to modernise nuclear defences, local media reported yesterday.The deployments come at a time of strained relations between Russia and Nato over US plans for a missile defence shield in eastern Europe.Moscow argues this would threaten its security while Washington insists it is designed only to defend against attack by what it sees as rogue nations, such as Iran. The Topol-M mobile missile, part of a new generation of weapon the Kremlin says will assure Russia's security for the next 20-30 years, will be deployed in the city of Teikovo about 240km northeast of Moscow. The first echelon was deployed in December 2006, when Putin climbed aboard a missile launcher on Russian television to show off the country's new programme. No details have been given for the number of missiles.We are absolutely confident this division will be put on combat duty in December, Russian news agency Interfax quoted the commander of Russia's rocket forces Nikolai Solovtsov as saying.

Single warhead

The 22-metre Topol-M is an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a single warhead. It was first developed during the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union and was later upgraded. It can be launched either from silos or from mobile launchers which can be camouflaged and hidden in forests.Along with the multiple-warhead RS-24, to be deployed in the next few years, it will form the backbone of Russia's nuclear armoury and help bolster armed forces eroded over years of post-Soviet decline. The rebuilding of Moscow's military also reflects a more assertive diplomatic approach, both towards the West and the states of its former, Cold War sphere of influence.Russian officials have said a US decision to withdraw from the Soviet-era Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty and create its European-based shield has sped the development and introduction of the RS-24.The United States insists the shield is necessary to guard against missiles which could fire nuclear, chemical or biological warheads in its direction. Russia's military chief recently told the Czech Republic they were making a big mistake by hosting the shield.But on Wednesday Washington said a deal with Poland, which would place up to 10 ground-based interceptor missiles in the north of the country, could be reached within weeks.

Sarkozy reaffirms pro-Israel stance AUG 31,07

(JTA) - Nicolas Sarkozy reaffirmed his affection for Israel and hostility toward Hamas. I have the reputation of being a friend of Israel, and it's true. I will never compromise on Israel's security, the French president said Monday in his first foreign-policy speech since taking office in May. While he said France would continue to cultivate rich ties with the moderate Arab world, Sarkozy drew a line at engaging Hamas or allowing Iran to procure nuclear weaponry.

Iran has over 3,000 centrifuges: Ahmadinejad Sun Sep 2, 8:43 AM ET

TEHRAN (AFP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday Iran had put into operation over 3,000 uranium-enriching centrifuges at a nuclear plant, reaching a key goal of its atomic drive, state broadcasting reported. They (world powers) thought that by issuing any resolution Iran would back down, Ahmadinejad told Islamist students, referring to the two sanctions resolutions imposed against Tehran by the UN Security Council.But after each resolution the Iranian nation took another step along the path of nuclear development, he said.Now it has put into operation more than 3,000 centrifuges and every week we install a new series.The installation of 3,000 centrifuges has always been earmarked by Iran as the key medium-term goal of its nuclear programme which it had originally hoped to reach by March.A UN atomic energy agency report obtained by AFP last week however said that Iran was still short of 3,000 centrifuges.It said that as of 19 August, 2007 Iran had total of 1,968 centrifuges operating at its uranium enrichment plant in the central town of Natanz. A total of 656 more centrifuges were in development, it said.

NUCLEAR WAR-FEAR
Pentagon plan: Annihilate Tehran's military in 3 days
No pinprick strikes – 1,200 targets ID'd for massive attack on nuke sites
September 2, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

The Pentagon has formulated a three-day blitz plan to annihilate Iran's military that targets 1,200 sites, including Tehran's nuclear facilities, in order to render its military incapable of conducting offensive, defensive or retaliatory missions.
According to the London Sunday Times, citing Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, the Pentagon has rejected a strategy of pinprick strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. They're about taking out the entire Iranian military, Debat said. Despite a report last week by the International Atomic Energy Agency of significant cooperation by Iran over its nuclear program, Washington sees only continued stalling by the Islamic regime, reports the Times.

President Bush increased his rhetoric against Iran's nuclear program last week, saying Tehran had put the Mideast under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust and indicated action would be taken against the program before it is too late.According to a Times source close to the Bush administration, the president's recent statements were meant as a message to a number of audiences – Iran and the U.N. Security Council. A number of nuclear sites have not even been visited by the IAEA, said Alireza Jafarzadeh, a spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran. They're giving a clean bill of health to a regime that is known to have practiced deception.Revelation of a plan for a three-day blitz to destroy Iran's fighting ability indicates the administration leans toward the use of rapid, overwhelming force if the military option is used. Whether you go for pinprick strikes or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be the same, Debat said. Massive use of force was, he said, a very legitimate strategic calculus.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
Muslims caught red-handed destroying Temple artifacts
Archaeologists kept out as WND obtains photo of pulverized antiquities at Judaism's holiest site - September 2, 2007 - By Aaron Klein - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

JERUSALEM – Islamic authorities using heavy machinery to dig on the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site – have been caught red-handed destroying Temple-era antiquities and what's believed to be a section of an outer wall of the Second Jewish Temple. WND today obtained a photograph of a massive trench the Waqf, the Muslim custodians of the Temple Mount, have been blasting around the periphery of the holy site purportedly to replace 40-year-old electrical cables for mosques on the Mount. The Waqf has steadfastly denied they found or destroyed any Jewish antiquities during their dig. Possible carved stone from Jewish Temple-era antiquity exposed by digging at Temple Mount in Jerusalem In view in the picture, which was obtained in conjunction with Israel's Temple Institute, are concrete slabs broken by Waqf bulldozers and what appears to be a chopped up carved stone from Jewish Temple-era antiquity. Eilat Mazar, considered one of the most prominent Temple Mount archaeologists, analyzed the photo and told WND the damaged stone displays elements of the second Temple era and might be part of a Jewish Temple wall Israeli archeologists charge the Waqf found and has been attempting to destroy. If authenticated, the wall would be one of the most important Temple Mount archaeological discoveries in recent history. It certainly looks like Second Temple antiquity and could very well be part of a Second Temple courtyard wall, Mazer said.

She said in order to certify the stone in the photo, she would need to personally inspect it. But Israel is blocking leading archaeologists from surveying massive damage Islamic authorities are accused of causing to what may be the outer wall of the Second Jewish Temple. Last month, the Waqf, the Muslim custodians of the Temple Mount, were given permission by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to use bulldozers and other heavy equipment to dig a large trench they say is necessary to replace electrical cables. The dig is being protected by the Israeli police and is supposed to be supervised by the Israeli government's Antiquities Authority. Archeologists say Islamic custodians of Temple Mount are destroying what could be part of a wall from the Second Jewish Temple (Courtesty TempleInstitute.org) Earlier this month, after bulldozers pulverized a trench 1,300 feet long and five feet deep, the Muslim diggers came across a wall Israeli archaeologists believe may be remains of an area of the Second Jewish Temple known as the woman's courtyard. The Antiquities Authority has not halted the dig and has not inspected the site. The Waqf has continued using bulldozers to blast away at the trench containing the wall.

The Antiquities Authority did not return repeated requests for comment.

Leading Temple Mount archaeologists, including Mazar and Gavriel Barkai, petitioned the Israeli government to immediately halt the dig and allow experts to inspect the emerging wall. But Mazar and other archaeologists say they are being blocked by the Israeli government. The Antiquities Authority tells us to coordinate with the police. The police send us back to the Antiquities Authority, said Mazar, who is a professor of Hebrew University and member of the Public Committee for Prevention of the Destruction of Antiquities on Temple Mount. Mazar also is the discoverer and lead archaeologist of Israel's City of David, believed to be the palace of the biblical King David, the second leader of a united Kingdom of Israel, who ruled from around 1005 to 965 B.C. It's crucial this wall is inspected. The Temple Mount ground level is only slightly above the original Temple Mount platform, meaning anything found is likely from the Temple itself, the archaeologist said. Fed up, Mazar and other top archaeologists last week ascended the Mount to hold a news conference and inspect the site without government permission, but they were blocked from the trench by the Israeli police. It is unconscionable that the Israeli government is permitting the Waqf to use heavy equipment to chop away at the most important archeological site in the country without supervision, Mazar told WND. The Israeli government is actively blocking us from inspecting the site and what may be a monumental find and is doing nothing while the Waqf destroys artifacts at Judaism's holiest site, she said.

Rabbi Chaim Rechman, director of the international department at Israel's Temple Institute, was among those on the Mount last week with Mazar. He told WND he attempted to take pictures of the damage the bulldozers are allegedly wrecking on the wall, but his digital camera was confiscated by Israeli police at the direction of Waqf officials. If Israel was building a shopping mall and they found what may be an ancient Buddhist structure, the government would stop the construction and have archaeologists go over the area with a fine tooth comb. Here, the holiest site in Judaism is being damaged, a Temple wall was found, and Israel is actively blocking experts from inspecting the site while allowing the destruction to continue, Rechman said. Rechman charged the Waqf was trying to erase Jewish vestiges from the Temple Mount.The last time the Waqf conducted a large dig on the Temple Mount – during construction 10 years ago of a massive mosque at an area referred to as Solomon's Stables – the Wafq reportedly disposed truckloads of dirt containing Jewish artifacts from the First and Second Temple periods. After the media reported on the disposals, Israeli authorities froze the construction permit given to the Wafq, and the dirt was transferred to Israeli archeologists for analysis. The Israeli authorities found scores of Jewish Temple relics in the nearly disposed dirt, including coins with Hebrew writing referencing the Temple, part of a Hasmonean lamp, several other Second Temple lamps, Temple period pottery with Jewish markings, a marble pillar shaft and other Temple period artifacts. The Waqf was widely accused of attempting to hide evidence of the existence of the Jewish Temples.

Temples never existed

Most Palestinian leaders routinely deny well-documented Jewish ties to the Temple Mount. Speaking to WND in a recent interview, Waqf official and chief Palestinian Justice Taysir Tamimi claimed the Jewish Temples never existed.About these so-called two Temples, they never existed, certainly not at the Haram Al- Sharif (Temple Mount), said Tamimi, who is considered the second most important Palestinian cleric after Muhammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Israel started since 1967 making archeological digs to show Jewish signs to prove the relationship between Judaism and the city, and they found nothing. There is no Jewish connection to Israel before the Jews invaded in the 1880s, said Tamimi. The Palestinian cleric denied the validity of dozens of digs verified by experts worldwide revealing Jewish artifacts from the First and Second Temples, tunnels that snake under the Temple Mount and over 100 ritual immersion pools believed to have been used by Jewish priests to cleanse themselves before services. The cleansing process is detailed in the Torah. Asked about the Western Wall, Tamimi said the structure was a tying post for Muhammad's horse and that it is part of the Al Aqsa Mosque, even though the Wall predates the mosque by more than 1,000 years. The Western wall is the western wall of the Al Aqsa Mosque. It's where Prophet Muhammad tied his animal which took him from Mecca to Jerusalem to receive the revelations of Allah. The Palestinian media also regularly state the Jewish Temples never existed.

Judaism's holiest site

While the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, Muslims say it is their third holiest site. The First Jewish Temple was built by King Solomon in the 10th century B.C. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. The Second Temple was rebuilt in 515 B.C. after Jerusalem was freed from Babylonian captivity. That temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire in A.D. 70. Each temple stood for a period of about four centuries. The Jewish Temple was the center of religious Jewish worship. It housed the Holy of Holies, which contained the Ark of the Covenant and was said to be the area upon which God's presence dwelt. The Dome of the Rock now sits on the site and the Al Aqsa Mosque is adjacent. The temple served as the primary location for the offering of sacrifices and was the main gathering place in Israel during Jewish holidays. The Temple Mount compound has remained a focal point for Jewish services over the millennia. Prayers for a return to Jerusalem have been uttered by Jews since the Second Temple was destroyed, according to Jewish tradition. Jews worldwide pray facing toward the Western Wall, a portion of an outer courtyard of the Temple left intact. The Al Aqsa Mosque was constructed around A.D. 709 to serve as a shrine near another shrine, the Dome of the Rock, which was built by an Islamic caliph. Al Aqsa was meant to mark where Muslims came to believe Muhammad, the founder of Islam, ascended to heaven. Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Quran. Islamic tradition states Muhammad took a journey in a single night from a sacred mosque – believed to be in Mecca in southern Saudi Arabia – to the farthest mosque and from a rock there ascended to heaven. The farthest mosque later became associated with Jerusalem.

EU's Solana visits Middle East before key summits
The Associated PressPublished: September 1, 2007

BRUSSELS, Belgium: EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana went to Israel and the Palestinian territories on Saturday to discuss the latest developments in the region before key conferences on the Mideast peace process.Solana was to hold talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert during his three-day visit, his office said. Other high-ranking politicians to meet Solana include Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Palestinian Prime Minister Salem Fayyad.EU foreign ministers will meet in Portugal next week; the international Quartet of peacemakers — the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia — meets in New York later this month, and a U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference is to be held in November.

Pressure is mounting on Israeli and the Palestinians to make substantial progress before the peace conference, proposed by U.S. President George W. Bush after bloody infighting split the Palestinian leadership into two rival governments.Past talks have broken down over questions of final borders; how Jerusalem will be shared, and whether Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war that accompanied Israel's creation would be allowed to return to their former homes in Israel, along with millions of descendants.

David's Comment: Are They Even Capable of Telling the Truth ?
SEPT 3,07

Eph 2:2 ......... the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, (NKJ)

In Nazi Germany, Hitler used the media to fan the flames of Anti-Semitism, resulting in the great majority of the German population participating in, or turning a blind eye to the attempted genocide of European Jewry. Satan must have been rubbing his hands in glee as his age old plan of Israel's destruction seemed to be being fulfilled.The opening Bible verse tells us that Satan is the prince of the power of the air, thus we can see that he controls the media which operates on the airwaves. The way the secular media handles the Middle East conflict is strong evidence that Satan indeed controls the radio, TV, internet and print media.From the day that Israel became a nation in 1948, until the miraculous victory of the Six Day War in 1967, the pioneering Israelis were seen as the heros, defending themselves against the much larger and militarily stronger Arab nations. However a short time after Israel regained East Jerusalem and most of Judea and Samaria, the PLO and other Arab terror groups rose up and began to use the media to proclaim that the Israelis were illegally occupying Palestinian territory

Last week CNN ran a 3 part series called Gods Warrriors. The first 2 episodes take an indepth look at the situation in the Middle East from the Jewish and Muslim perspective. The programs were hosted by CNN’s chief apologist for Islam, Iranian immigrant Christiane Amanpour, so it is not really surprising that they were very biased against Israel and contained many inaccuracies and outright lies. The reports also overlooked the fact the Islam is responsible for most of the worlds terror attacks.The foundational error in all anti Israel / pro Palestinian media reporting is that the Palestinians are a actual historical people group who have a legitimate claim to the land and that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land. Of course both claims are untrue, historically and Biblically. In March 1971 the Dutch newspaper Trouw ran an interview with PLO executive committee member Zahir Hussein who stated The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel and for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people.

Therefore the news media has been lying to the world since 1967. The following quote is from CAMERA - a media watchdog group, which points out some of the errors in the CNN report ............

On August 22, CNN aired Part Two, God's Muslim Warriors, of its 3 part series, God's Warriors, hosted by Christiane Amanpour. While much of the program was informative and fair (in contrast to the propagandistic nature of Part One,God's Jewish Warriors), there were serious flaws and glaring omissions, which are described later in this alert. Among the most important shortcomings, extremist Muslim beliefs and practices were often minimized and many of the key causes for the spread of Muslim supremacist beliefs went unexplored.Since so much of Part One was devoted to the influence of pro-Israel activists in America, it was very striking that Amanpour utterly neglected to report on the powerful Oil Lobby, primarily Saudi-backed, and numerous other Muslim organizations seeking to influence American public opinion and foreign policy decisions. There was a noticeably gentler and more cordial tone toward Muslim extremists in contrast to the often snide and hectoring tone displayed toward pro-Israel Americans and Israeli settlers in God's Jewish Warriors. In God's Muslim Warriors,

Amanpour included two apolitical segments with appealing devout Muslim women who talked about why they wear a head covering and how Islam enriches their lives. No such apolitical segment about devout Jews appeared in God's Jewish Warriors.Someone has to take CNN to task for their subtle brainwashing of the public against Israel and in favour of the so called Palestinians. Don't sit back and let someone else be the one to take a stand. Be an Esther and stand up on behalf of Israel and the truth, and ultimately, the Kingdom of God.

Israel's other demographic challenge
By Tim Franks SEPT 3,07
BBC News, Jerusalem

Jerusalem's busy Mea Shearim neighbourhood is witness to a looming demographic dilemma for Israel. Haredi life is devoted to studying Jewish law and thought. It is an almost exclusively ultra-orthodox Jewish enclave, its narrow streets and crowded apartments teeming with thousands of black-hatted, white-shirted Haredi men and their families. The Haredim live in a world apart from modern, westernised West Jerusalem, devoting their lives to the study of Jewish law and thought, practising what they see as the purest form of Judaism. It is widely accepted that Palestinian population growth in Israel and the occupied territories is a major strategic issue for Israel. But the proportion of ultra-orthodox Haredi Jews is also growing, approximately three times as fast as the rest of the population. In a country where every 18-year-old Jew is supposed to join the army - and which has faced six major conflicts with its neighbours and battled two Palestinian uprisings - that Haredi population growth poses some urgent questions.

Spiritual needs

The ultra-orthodox do not face compulsory conscription; they are exempted from national service in order to continue their religious studies. Secular Israelis see the army as the state's most important institution Once it was a tiny minority which took that route; now they account for more than 10% of draft-age Israeli Jews. By 2019, the government forecasts they will constitute almost one-in-four. Former Deputy Prime Minister Yosef Lapid, who leads the secularist party Shinui, represents a constituency in Israel that asks whether Haredi behaviour is not in fact undermining the Jewish state. I have nothing against them because they are religious, says Mr Lapid. I very much oppose the fact that they don't serve in the army. They represent God in God's country, but don't defend God's country. From the yeshivas, or theological colleges, around Jerusalem, where the young men sway back and forth as they read and debate centuries of law and commentary, there is a different view.

They believe that the country has spiritual as well as physical needs, and there is no greater service than that of religious study. The difficulty a secular Israeli is going to have is just not understanding the whole world-view that the religious world is coming from, says Haredi rabbi Moshe Feldman. If you look at the whole history of the Jewish people, it can't be explained in physical terms. What made us survive this long? We really believe God has a hand in history, he says.

Welfare

Rabbi Feldman says he is not living in a dreamland, where only God takes care of the Jews and Israel does not need an army. The Haredi issue will become more central as the population grows You also need a balance. And the balance has to be that as much as you're worried about your physical survival, you're also focussed on your spiritual survival, he says. But there is a further source of tension - the economy.
At a food distribution scheme in Mea Shearim, dozens of families come to collect cardboard boxes full of all types of kosher food. This is not an unusual sight, because most Haredim are poor and many rely heavily on welfare. Government figures suggest that two out of three Haredi men do not have a paid job.

More and more, Israelis are asking if this too can carry on.

Demographer Mencahem Friedman says that either the Haredim will have to change their ways or the government will force them to contribute more to the economy and defence. To keep the status quo as it is now probably will not be possible, he says.
Everyone has to make a very crucial decision to change the situation. How they will make it, I don't know.It is one of the most difficult questions of all for Israel - what a Jewish state should demand of its own Jewish citizens.

EU is too big and diverse, says parliament's ex-chief
03.09.2007 - 09:15 CET | By Helena Spongenberg

The European Union is too big and too diverse to be able to rally around common political projects needed to survive, the former president of the European Parliament has said.Speaking at the Menéndez Pelayo International University in Santander, Spain last week, Spanish socialist MEP Josep Borrell said, we are suffering from a crisis of heterogeneity and growth.We are many and with many different visions of the world, so our will is not unanimous and the political project is yet to be defined, he said according to Spanish press reports, adding that you cannot grow from six to 27 with impunity.He argued that the EU lacked a common political project, leaving one asking what are we united for? Alone, the European countries are impotent. If we want to survive we need to unite, he warned.
Mr Borrell held the presidency of the European Parliament from July 2004 to January 2007.

Jordan king urges greater EU role for Mideast peace
SEPT 2,07

AMMAN (AFP) — Jordan's King Abdullah II called for the European Union to bridge differences between Israel and the Palestinians ahead of a US-sponsored peace conference in talks on Sunday with visiting Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
King Abdullah II and Prodi stressed the importance of increased efforts by the European Union to support peace in the Middle East and bring back the Palestinians and the Israelis to the negotiations table, a palace statement said.It is necessary to bring closer the points of view between the Palestinians and Israelis in light of US President George W. Bush's call for an international peace conference for the Middle East, the king was quoted as saying.On Friday, the king, who is a close US ally, called on the Palestinians to close ranks and let reason prevail in order to benefit from the international conference, expected to take place in November.

Prodi said at the start of his visit to the kingdom on Saturday that his government would do everything to make the conference a success.We are very positively engaged in the conference that will be held next November, he told reporters after meeting his Jordanian counterpart Maaruf Bakhit.But the Italian prime minister warned that Palestinian divisions would undermine future moves for peace with Israel.I feel that the divisions between the Palestinians will not help the peace process. I am sure that the Palestinian divisions will bring negative consequences to any future development in the area, Prodi said.The Islamist Hamas movement captured the Gaza Strip on June 15 from the secular Fatah forces of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, effectively splitting Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.After his talks with the Prodi, the king left for Paris, where he is due to meet French President Nicolas Sarkozy on similar talks on Monday.
