Scores dead or missing in Indonesia floods, landslides by Wawan Irawan DEC 26,07

TAWANGMANGU, Indonesia (AFP) - Floods and landslides triggered by monsoon rains left close to 100 people dead or missing on the main Indonesian island of Java on Wednesday, officials said. Landslides hit villages in densely populated Central Java's Karanganyar and Wonogiri districts early Wednesday after heavy downpours, with floods also swelling in several areas, leaving 42 dead and 42 missing, they said.The last report we received at 4:00 pm (0900 GMT) shows that 66 people in nine areas in Karanganyar district are dead or missing, the head of a local disaster management centre, Heru Aji Pratomo, told AFP.He said that 36 bodies had been retrieved. Seven of the areas he referred to were hit by landslides and two others were inundated by floods, he added.

An official at the disaster management centre in Wonogiri district, to the south, Sri Mubadi, told AFP that six bodies had been recovered but 12 others remained missing there.In Karanganyar, one family of four died after a landslide slammed into their home.The husband was actually evacuated and survived, but knowing that his wife and two children had died, he went into shock and made his condition worse. He later died, said Edi Susanto from Karanganyar's disaster management centre.A truck carrying three men also careened into a river as it tried to avoid a landslide, which are not unusual across Indonesia in hilly and volcanic areas during the monsoon.We've just found the three dead bodies in the river, Susanto added.In Tawangmangu, the worst-hit area, hundreds of troops, police and residents combed through debris using their hands, shovels and wooden sticks to search for victims.The disaster centre's Pratomo predicted that the recovery of bodies would take at least two or three days.The conditions here are very bad and steep, so that we cannot use heavy machinery, Pratomo said.TV footage showed flood evacuees clutching their belongings above their heads as they sloshed through muddy brown water reaching chest height.President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono relayed his sympathies to the families of the deceased.

The president sends his deepest condolences and has ordered the home affairs minister to coordinate with local officials and monitor the emergency response, his spokesman, Andi Mallarangeng, told Metro TV.Meanwhile in East Java, where heavy rains have also been falling, at least 10 people were killed when a bridge was swept away by swelling flood waters, Andi Hartoyo, chief of police at Madiun district, told ElShinta radio.Based on several witnesses, at least 10 people were swept away by strong currents as they were standing on the bridge when it collapsed, he said.

Local officials have been working on collecting data about missing people. We cannot start the search (for bodies or survivors) as the current is very strong now, Hartoyo added. The Sinar Harapan afternoon newspaper reported that a family of four had also died in a separate landslide in East Java's Ngawi district, citing a local policeman. And on the tourist haven of Bali, two Indonesians were killed when a small landslide, also triggered by heavy rains, hit their house in a village in Gianyar district, local policeman Sumantre told AFP. The victims were asleep when a hill collapsed and engulfed their house, he said, adding that no-one else was missing. Indonesia has been repeatedly afflicted by deadly floods and landslides in recent years, with activists warning that logging and a failure to reforest denuded land in the world's fourth most populous country are often to blame.

Heavy snow threatens areas of West Buzz Bernard DEC 26,07

Heavy snow that has been burying the Cascade Mountains in Washington and Oregon will abate somewhat today, but is expected to resume late tonight and early tomorrow. Snow levels are quite low, less than 1000 feet today, but will climb a bit tomorrow. Elsewhere in the West, heavy snow warnings are posted for portions of northern and western Utah (including Salt Lake City), and parts of western Colorado. In eastern Colorado, snow is forecast to begin late tonight in the Denver area and continue through much of the day tomorrow. In Southern California, high wind warnings and watches for tonight have been issued for the mountains and coastal valley of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Strong northerly winds are expected to develop and cause at least minor damage.

Asia remembers tsunami victims three years on by Nurdin Hassan DEC 26,07

CALANG, Indonesia (AFP) - Three years after Indian Ocean nations were lashed by massive tsunamis, sombre ceremonies were held Wednesday to recall those lost in one of the worst natural catastrophes in modern times. In Indonesia, mass prayers were held outdoors and at mosques across Aceh, the staunchly Muslim province at the northern tip of Sumatra island where 168,000 lives were claimed by the earthquake-triggered walls of water.The toll here was more than half the 220,000 killed in a dozen nations, including Sri Lanka, India and Thailand, with thousands of unidentified victims buried in mass graves hastily dug in the disaster's aftermath.Wednesday's main ceremony was held outdoors at a village on the outskirts of Calang, one of the areas of Aceh obliterated in the disaster.I came here to pray together with other residents. I pray for my wife and my child who died in the tsunami, hoping they are now resting in peace, said Alimudin, a 61-year-old retired local government official.Aceh governor Irwandi Yusuf, a former rebel fighter, told about 1,000 residents, school children and officials that he hoped we can learn from the tragedy to improve our piety towards God.

Let us leave behind all our tears and work together to rebuild Aceh, hoping that one day we can repay our 'debt' to the international community, he said.The international community pledged more than seven-billion dollars to help reconstruction in Aceh, which is well on track towards completion.Yusuf, who was detained in a jail that was destroyed by the tsunami, was elected in December last year following a historic peace pact spurred on by the disaster -- one of its few silver linings -- that saw a 29-year separatist conflict end.Also in Indonesia, a dramatic drill simulating a tsunami strike was held in Java's coastal province of Banten involving around 9,000 residents, local television reported.

The simulation, designed to test a tsunami warning system gradually being rolled out, saw hundreds of students, along with residents clutching children, rush to higher ground assailed by wailing sirens.This country is vulnerable to tsunami threats. Let us pray to God for this country to be kept safe from tsunamis, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said after observing the exercise.Sri Lanka, which suffered 31,000 deaths, marked the anniversary by opening a showpiece bridge in the southern coastal town of Matara, gifted by South Korea.President Mahinda Rajapakse observed two minutes of silence at 9:25 am, the time when the first giant waves lashed the coastline in a disaster that also displaced a million people on the island.Sri Lanka's post-tsunami reconstruction work has been dogged by corruption and renewed fighting that has blocked relief to survivors, with less than a fifth of the money pledged properly accounted for, according to watchdogs.In India, where more than 16,000 people died, thousands of fishing families who survived the avalanche of water gathered on beaches to remember the dead.Parents who lost children thronged local beaches and fishing hamlets in India's worst-hit Nagapattinam district, where around 6,500 people died in southern Tamil Nadu state.The memorial today is just a symbol for me where all of us collect to grieve together, said Kaveri, 37, who lost a son and daughter when the tsunami hit the fishing hamlet of Keechankuppam.

But then we are grieving everyday.

Tens of thousands of Indians lost huts in the disaster and rights groups say more than 20,000 tsunami-affected families are still waiting for new homes. Thousands of candles flickered in the night by Thailand's Andaman Sea in memory of the 5,400 people killed in the kingdom, half of whom were foreign holiday-makers. About 700 people from Thailand and abroad, including those who lost loved ones in the tragedy, first laid flowers at the sea's edge on Phuket's Patong beach, before lighting 10,000 candles along a two-kilometre stretch of sand. We will continue to grieve for the people. However, their memory lives on, Lennart Linner, Sweden's ambassador to Thailand, told the crowd. Hundreds of Swedes were killed in the disaster. After the low-key ceremony, attendees walked out onto the beach and cast the flowers representing the dead into the sea.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Jews demand right to pray on Temple Mount
Israeli law forbids non-Muslim worship while Hamas broadcasting from Judaism's holiest site December 25, 2007
10:50 p.m. Eastern By Aaron Klein 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Temple Mount

JERUSALEM – Rabbinic leaders and Temple Mount activist groups here today demanded the Israeli government allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site. Israeli restrictions forbid Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount and only allow Jews to ascend for certain hours on some days while the Mount is open to Muslims yearlong. Muslim prayer services take place throughout the day on the many mosques and Islamic religious schools situated on the holy site. We demand the Government of Israel allow the Jewish people to have freedom of religious expression on the Temple Mount. This will serve as a preliminary step in confirming the Jewish people's inexorable connection with the Temple Mount, location of the Holy Temple, under the sovereignty of the people of Israel, states a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signed by the leaders of the New Jewish Congress, the Sanhedrin and the Holy Temple and Temple Mount movements. The Congress is a group of religious Zionist leaders here while the Sanhedrin consists of prominent rabbinic leaders who in 2004 reformed the ancient group of Jewish judges that previously constituted the legislative body of Israel. The reformed Sanhedrin has been a subject of debate within some Jewish communities.

The rabbinic leaders and activists demanded the Israeli government move toward allowing non-Muslim worship by initially establishing special days for Jewish communal prayer in fixed locations on the Temple Mount. They demanded Olmert allow prayer on the Mount on important Jewish holidays, including Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, the first day of Hanukkah and on the Israeli national holidays of Jerusalem Day and Israeli Independence Day. Not all rabbinic figures allow Jewish prayer on the Mount although many schools do as long as entry and prayer is restricted to outer areas of the Mount, which can be measured by a change in the kind of foundation stone. According to Jewish law, the sanctity of the Temple Mount is structured in concentric circles. In the innermost circles, where the Holy of Holies was said to be located, the restrictions of Jewish access are the greatest. Jewish tradition and literature relates that during Temple times, only the kohen gadal, or high priest, was allowed to enter the most restricted area, and this happened once a year on Yom Kippur. The outer layers are less restricted. The rabbis' and activists' letter to Olmert was prompted by an episode last week – reported exclusively by WND – in which Israeli forces closed the Mount to Jews during an important Jewish fast day mourning the First Temple's destruction while the Hamas terror organization broadcast from the Mount's Al Aqsa Mosque, which Muslims say is their third holiest site.

In light of the broadcast of Hamas from the Temple Mount and the serious implications of this situation, we demand that the Government of Israel allow the Jewish people to have freedom of religious expression on the Temple Mount, stated the rabbis' letter to Olmert. WND broke the story that Hamas Wednesday exclusively broadcast Muslim prayers from the Mount's Al Aqsa Mosque on the group's official radio station, Al Aqsa Radio. The services are broadcast alongside anti-Semitic commentary, including incitement against Jews. The official Hamas radio network announced last week it would continue airing exclusive daily streams of Muslim morning services from the Temple Mount, and, indeed, the broadcasts continued yesterday as scheduled. Hamas radio is heard throughout Palestinian cities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Our broadcast is a victory for the Al Aqsa Mosque, which is suffering from Judaization efforts imposed by the Zionist government. Broadcasting daily radio is a way to bring Al Aqsa to the Gaza Strip and challenge the siege imposed on us by the Zionist entity, said Rami Kaoud, a manager at Al Aqsa Radio.

All broadcasts from the Mount must be approved by the Waqf, which guard the Muslim entrances to the Temple Mount along with the Israeli police. Broadcasts in theory must also be approved by the Israeli police, but cameramen and reporters routinely enter the site from Muslim gates to broadcast without prior police approval as long as Waqf agents allow the entry. While Israel again has not yet acted to halt Hamas broadcasts, for most of last week it barred all non-Muslims from ascending the Mount, even on a Jewish holiday held last Wednesday. Last Wednesday marked the start of Muslim holiday of Ein ul-Adhaa, which commemorates the Islamic belief of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael for Allah. According to Jewish and Christian tradition, Abraham nearly sacrificed his son Isaac, not Ishmael. Also last Wednesday, Jews commemorated the Jewish fast day of the Tenth of Tevet, mourning the First Temple's destruction and the siege placed on Jerusalem leading up to Temple's destruction during the reign of the Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar.

Jewish organizations and Temple Mount activist groups here were planning visits to the Temple Mount in observance of last Wednesday's Jewish day of mourning. Rabbi Chaim Richman, director of the international department at Israel's Temple Institute, a Mount activist group which planned to lead a tour of the site this week, said Israeli police informed his group earlier this week that they had decided the Mount would be closed the rest of the week to non-Muslims for fear of offending Muslims on the Islamic holiday. Due to Israeli restrictions, the Temple Mount is open only to non-Muslims Sundays through Thursdays, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., and not on any Christian, Jewish or Muslim holidays or other days considered sensitive by the Waqf, the Mount's Islamic custodians. The Temple Mount was opened to the general public until September 2000, when the Palestinians started their intifada by throwing stones at Jewish worshipers after then-candidate for prime minister Ariel Sharon visited the area. Following the onset of violence, the new Sharon government closed the Mount to non-Muslims, using checkpoints to control all pedestrian traffic for fear of further clashes with the Palestinians. The Temple Mount was reopened to non-Muslims in August 2003, but only on select days for certain hours. 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 Al Aqsa Mosque now sits on the site. 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. The letter to Olmert called the Temple Mount the holiest place in the world for the Jewish people, yet Jews are denied the right to pray in groups, and even as individuals ... they are granted no opportunity for any religious expression whatsoever on the Temple Mount.However, let it be known that the Jewish people will never accept the total refusal of Jewish communal prayer on the Mountain, the letter states.

Dear Stan,

ST. PAUL PUT HIS PEN TO PARCHMENT AND WROTE WORDS THAT EVERY PERSON ON PLANET EARTH NEEDS TO HEAR AT TIMES LIKE THESE.
MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE AS YOU TRUST IN HIM, SO THAT YOU MAY OVERFLOW WITH HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.READ THAT VERSE AGAIN, SLOWLY, UNTIL ITS MESSAGE PENETRATES YOUR SOUL. TAKE AWAY HOPE, AND LIFE, WITH ALL ITS FASCINATING VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES IS REDUCED TO A MERE EXISTENCE...UNINTERESTING, BLEAK, And DRAB, A BURDEN AND A PAIN.THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST WAS THE BIRTH OF HOPE ITSELF! HOPE THAT A WORLD FILLED WITH ROMAN HATRED COULD KNOW THE UNSPEAKABLE JOY OF THE LOVE OF GOD.

THAT HOPE DID NOT INVADE THE WORLD IN THE FORM OF A SUPREME SULTAN RIDING DOWN MAIN STREET JERUSALEM ON A WHITE STALLION DEMANDING THAT MEN BOW TO HIM AS A REIGNING MONARCH. HE CAME IN THE FORM OF A BABY WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES LYING IN A DESOLATE MANGER SURROUNDED BY SHEPHERDS, SHEEP, OXEN, DONKEYS AND JOSEPH WHO WAS STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS MOMENT.
THE HOPE THAT CHRIST BRINGS TO OUR LIVES GENERATES PEACE THAT SURPASSES UNDERSTANDING, JOY THAT IS UNSPEAKABLE, ENERGY THAT HAS NO LIMIT AND EXCITEMENT THAT NEVER ENDS!

TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS THE MOST JOYOUS FAITH ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. IT BEGAN WITH ANGELS SINGING OVER BETHLEHEM'S MANGER AND ENDS WITH THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT SINGING BEFORE THE LORD IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.I PRAY THAT FOR TODAY, TOMORROW AND EVERY DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YOU EMBRACE OUR BLESSED HOPE THAT IS STEADFAST AND SURE. THAT BLESSED HOPE WILL MAKE EVERYDAY, IN SPITE OF ITS TRIAL AND TURMOIL, A BLESSED DAY! FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

Hamas says ready to hand over Gaza crossings to neutral side www.chinaview.cn 2007-12-26 20:20:07

GAZA, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- An aide to deposed prime minister of Hamas government in Gaza Ismail Haneya said on Wednesday that Hamas is ready to hand over control of all crossings in Gaza to a neutral side.Alaa al-A'raj, Haneya's economical advisor, said that Hamas government is ready to study the name of any nominee who have experience in running the crossing points. But he stressed that any side whose hands are polluted with issues harming the nationality and morality of our people is absolutely denied.

Over the past couple of days, local Palestinian media reported that Salam Fayyad's government installed by President Mahmoud Abbas in June after Hamas' violent takeover of Gaza was considering a plan to reopen the crossings of the Strip. The reports said that the U.S. administration, the European Union and the Quartet of Middle East mediators have accepted the plan. In response to the reports, al-A'raj said his government knows nothing about the plan. However, he proposed that a private business sector can oversee and manage the commercial crossings.

All Gaza crossings were shut down in the wake of Hamas' violent takeover the Gaza enclave following days of infighting between Hamas militants and security forces loyal to President Abbas. As a result, Abbas fired Hamas government and formed a Western-backed administration ruling from the West Bank while the Gaza Strip has been ruled by Hamas.Editor: Wang Hongjiang.

European Union sends rule of law mission to prepare for Kosovan independence By Paul Mitchell 24 December 2007

Last week, the European Union (EU), under pressure from the United States, sent a 1,800-strong rule of law mission—the largest in the bloc’s history—to replace the United Nations mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The EU mission’s job is to reform the police, prisons and judiciary and pave the way for Kosovan independence, which the US wants the provincial government to declare early next year.UNMIK has administered Kosovo as a protectorate since the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999. UNMIK has functioned under the terms of Security Council Resolution 1244, which recognised Serbia’s sovereignty over Kosovo while placing the province under the occupation of foreign troops governed by a UN viceroy. Under international law, a new UN resolution is needed to change the province’s status.The EU mission pre-empted a Security Council meeting held December 19 to receive a report on the failure of UN-appointed mediators to bring about a negotiated agreement between local ethnic Albanian and Serbian leaders, as well as Serbia. The report states, Neither party was willing to cede its position on the fundamental question of sovereignty over Kosovo.

Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu and Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica also addressed the meeting.We are ready to take steps toward a future declaration of independence of Kosovo together with our friends, Sejdiu told the Security Council. Rame Manaj, the spokesperson of Kosovo’s Constitutional Commission, said a new constitution had been drafted (reports suggest by Balkan experts at the US State Department) and would soon be presented to Kosovo’s parliament. Kosovo will be a parliamentary republic with a more powerful role for its president, Manaj explained, with a security force that will be transformed into a national army in due course. For the time being, 16,500 NATO troops are to remain in the province.Serbian Prime Minister Kostunica told the Security Council that Serbia’s fate was in its hands. He said his country defended its sovereignty strongly and firmly and would consider a declaration of independence illegal. Moves to dismember Serbia would create a precedent for separatists elsewhere in the world, he warned.Kostunica condemned the supervised independence plan published by UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari in February 2007, of which the EU rule of law mission is the first step. Kostunica said, It is unacceptable that the illegitimate arrival of an EU mission to the province is discussed so that Ahtisaari’s plan for creating a puppet state may be implemented.It is particularly insulting and unacceptable that the mutilated Serbia is being offered the reward of quicker admission into the EU if it reconciles with violent alteration of its borders, Kostunica added.

Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D’Alema, who presided over the Security Council meeting, emerged to say its members were unable to reach any concrete conclusions, but urged the opposing sides to avoid actions that may lead to violence in the region. D’Alema blamed the strong positions taken by Washington and Moscow for aggravating the problems between the ethnic Albanian and Serbian sides. He said that President Boris Tadic of Serbia had told him, I can’t let the Russians be more Serbian than me, and the ethnic Albanians had said they can’t let themselves appear less Kosovar than President Bush.D’Alema added that Italy and most EU countries supported independence, but the Americans have underestimated the difficulties of the situation.The US has aggressively pursued the Ahtisaari plan. Last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared, “Serbia and Kosovo are never going to be one again”—repeating the promise US President George W. Bush made back in June that the province would soon be independent.Following the UN Security Council meeting, US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said the irreconcilable differences between the ethnic Albanians and Serbs meant Kosovo’s independence could no longer be delayed. The continuation of the status quo poses not only a threat to peace and stability in Kosovo, but also to the region and in Europe, he added. Khalilzad claimed Resolution 1244 allows for the implementation of the Ahtisaari plan.Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin disputed Khalilzad’s claim, warning that any move toward a unilateral declaration of independence would clearly be outside of the limits of international law and Resolution 1244 and would set a dangerous precedent. Russia has warned that the situation is threatening to slip towards an uncontrollable crisis if international law is not upheld.Russia’s mediator at the Kosovo Albanian-Serbian talks, Aleksandr Botsan-Kharchenko, declared that the negotiating process was still in an early stage and that the two sides cooperated and contacted constantly...for the first time since 1999.

Russia’s principled position is that work within Security Council Resolution 1244 should continue, without seeking loopholes in that document that would, allegedly, enable Pristina [the Kosovan capital] to declare independence or the international community to replace UNMIK with an EU mission, he stated.To say that Kosovo has the right to independence and [breakaway regions in Georgia] Abkhazia or South Ossetia do not would be a typical example of double standards, Botsan-Khachenko said. He added that Russia is doing everything in its power to prevent such a scenario and to prevent the creation of a negative precedent.We want to find a long-term solution for this conflict and any dialogue and any step, even a tiny one, is a step forward.... To let this go now would be a monstrous mistake, he concluded.Moscow is particularly concerned about the involvement of Washington, backed by Britain and the other European powers, in the future of Kosovo, which it sees as part of their attempt to limit its aspirations as a regional and world power. Moscow is eager to boost its position in the Balkans, where it competes for influence with the EU and where its companies have invested heavily, particularly in oil and gas pipelines.The tensions in Kosovo are linked to the wider dispute over the installation of US missile defence shield bases in the Czech Republic and Poland and threats of further sanctions and war on Iran. In the last few weeks, Russia has withdrawn from the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty and is threatening to redeploy troops to its European borders. Moscow has indicated that it intends to move part of its fleet to Syrian ports and to maintain a permanent presence in the Mediterranean, and has tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile.

The EU has been split by the recklessness of the US and the growing antagonisms with Russia. At the same time, the bloc is trying to project a united front to the world, saying it can handle problems in its own back yard. Kosovo’s independence is inevitable, French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared. It’s an issue for Europe to sort out.The most important thing is for the EU to take the next steps with as much unity as possible, German Chancellor Angela Merkel added.Only one EU country, Cyprus, remains openly opposed to Kosovan independence and backs Russia’s call for further negotiations. It fears that diplomatic recognition of an independent Kosovo would legitimise the Turkish regime that occupied the northern part of Cyprus in 1974.However, other EU countries remain concerned over the implications of Kosovo’s independence for separatist movements in their own countries and for their close relations with Serbia and Russia. Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said that a unilateral proclamation of independence is not positive for Spain, but it will wait to see what happens. He explained that Madrid respects international law and the unity of the EU and violating laws has never done any good in history. Romanian Defence Minister Teodor Melescanu added, A unilateral decision could have a very negative effect on the entire region and is not in keeping with international law.The EU is also split on the issue of Serbia’s membership of the bloc. Many member states are keen to start accession talks with Belgrade on January 28, in the run-up to presidential elections in the country.

They hope to boost the chances of pro-Western president Boris Tadic, who is running neck and neck in polls with Tomislav Nikolic, deputy leader of the extreme nationalist Serbian Radical Party. Nikolic unconditionally rejects Serbian recognition of an independent Kosovo, and has suggested Russia set up a military base in Serbia to rival the US presence at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo. Some member states, led by the UK, are strongly against membership talks until the Serbian government pursues more vigorously fugitives wanted for war crimes, including former general Ratko Mladic and Bosnian-Serb leader Radovan Karadic.The rush to make Kosovo independent and uncertainty over Serbian EU membership have created a crisis for the Serb politicians who played a vital role for the West in ousting former President Slobodan Milosevic and were installed in power in Serbia. For example, Serbia’s foreign minister, Vuk Jeremic, educated in the UK and US and a high-flyer in London financial circles, has been forced to criticise his erstwhile backers, saying the EU offer to accelerate Serb membership of the organisation will never be accepted. The trade-off is out of the question. We cannot exchange our territory for our European future, he complained bitterly.In Kosovo, Bertran Bono, the spokesperson for KFOR, NATO’s peacekeeping mission in the province, proclaimed his confidence that everything was under control, saying, We do not want any kind of violence here, but we have already planned everything to stop it from happening again in all situations. That means that we have different scenarios prepared for the best and worst case scenarios and we are ready to answer all challenges.The 200,000-strong Serb minority concentrated in northern Kosovo well remembers KFOR’s inability to stop the violence of March 17, 2004, when 19 people died, more than 950 were injured and there was large-scale destruction of property. Knut Vollebaek, the high commissioner for national minorities of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, has already pointed to a possible new wave of Roma refugees who could flee to neighbouring Macedonia and Montenegro if their safety is threatened, especially in the southern part of the province.On December 18, several thousand Serbs in the ethnically divided city of Mitrovica demonstrated against the deployment of the EU mission and moves towards Kosovan independence. Marko Jaksic, a leading local official of Kostunica’s conservative Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), told the crowd that the Serbian parliament should stop all discussions about EU membership and be prepared to annul a unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo.Such a declaration by Pristina could prompt other unilateral actions, starting with the partition of northern Kosovo, precipitating violent separatist re-alignments in the region and becoming the catalyst for a wider conflagration.

The War on Zionism by Ted Belman
Arabs want to replace Israel. They are not alone.

Post-Annapolis, the Palestinian Authority made it crystal clear that it will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Furthermore, it made it crystal clear that it will not compromise on Jerusalem, making it a capital offense to do so. Yet, negotiations continue. Either Ehud Olmert doesn't believe the PA or, what is more likely, he will still cut a deal where Israel is denied that recognition and will divide Jerusalem according to Arab demands.Do not think for a moment that these entrenched Arab positions are negotiable. They aren't and never have been.Ever since Theodor Herzl wrote The Jewish State in 1896, the Arabs, with one exception, Faisal ibn-Hussein, have opposed it.According to Bat Ye'or, the author of The Dhimmi, Islam demands that Palestine must be reconquered from the infidel, regardless of the passage of time. In pursuit of this goal, the Arabs rejected the Partition Plan and the creation of Israel, they went to war
Olmert doesn't believe the PA or, what is more likely, he will still cut a deal.numerous times to destroy Israel, they rejected Resolution 242, and shortly thereafter they decided at the Khartoum Conference to have no recognition, no negotiations, no peace with Israel.

In 1964, the Arab states founded the PLO, with a Charter that specifically calls for the liquidation of the Zionist presence. Shortly thereafter, the PLO was taken over by Yasser Arafat's Nazi-trained Fatah, whose Charter was and is similar. Its goals:

Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.

Article (13) Establishing an independent democratic state with complete sovereignty on all Palestinian lands, and Jerusalem is its capital city, and protecting the citizens' legal and equal rights without any racial or religious discrimination.

Nothing could be clearer. It refers to all Palestinian lands and was written before the occupation in 1967.Then, in 1975, with Soviet support, the UN General Assembly passed the infamous resolution (3379) Zionism is Racism by a vote of 75 to 32 with 35 abstentions. The operative words are that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. Chaim Herzog, Israel's Ambassador to the UN at the time, made one of the great speeches of the Twentieth Century, arguing Zionism is Not Racism. Though the US, lead by the late Patrick Moynihan, vehemently objected also, a month later it did not veto a proposal to seat the PLO as observers in the UN Security Council. No non-state had ever been accorded such recognition. In 1991, with the fall of the Soviet Union, the UN General Assembly revoked resolution 3379, admitting it had been mistaken to label Zionism as racism. Nevertheless, this odious charge persists, like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In the negotiations prior to the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Fatah Charter became an obstacle. Arafat agreed to amend it. This was a precondition. Yet, no such amendment was effected, necessitating this letter from Arafat to President Clinton in 1998: In the mutual recognition letters between myself and the late Prime Minister Itzhaq Rabbin of September 9/10, 1993, the PLO committed to recognize the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security, to accept UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and to a peaceful resolution of the conflict between the two sides. The PLO also agreed to secure the necessary changes in the Palestinian Covenant to reflect these commitments.

Accordingly, the P.N.C. was held in Gaza city between 22-25 of April 1996, and in an extraordinary session decided that the Palestine National Charter is hereby amended by cancelling the articles that are contrary to the letters exchanged between the P.L.O and the Government of Israel on 9/10 September 1993.Still, the Charter is not amended.More recently, Judea Pearl, father of Daniel Pearl, penned an essay, Anti-Zionism is Racism, in which he wrote, anti-Zionism is a form of racism more dangerous than classical anti-Semitism. Could be. Just prior to 9/11, the UN hosted a World Conference Against Racism at Durban. It became a hate-fest of anti-Zionism, as was intended. Zionism is racism was actively promoted to delegitimize Israel. Durban II in 2010 promises to be even more hateful, if that is possible.In the run up to Annapolis, Roy Blunt (R-MO) introduced H. Res. 758 jointly with Shelley Berkley (D-NV). This resolution calls on Mahmoud Abbas to officially renounce ten articles in the Fatah Constitution that call for Israel's destruction and acts of terrorism against the Jews. While AIPAC supports the Blunt resolution, it also supports increasing aid to the PA, without regard to the Charter. Having it both ways, I guess. Doesn't it know that you can't suck and blow at the same time?

The Donor's Conference in Paris pledged $7.4 billion to the PA for the next three years. No one demanded that the Charter be amended, that terror stop or that there be The two-state solution is a sham for Western consumption.accountability for the funds. And everyone knows that Fatah is about to reconcile with Hamas on Hamas' terms.

And what are those terms?

First of all, the Hamas Charter is virulently anti-Semitic and uncompromising in its goal of ridding Palestine of the Jews. It declares that all Palestine is Islamic trust land, can never be surrendered to non-Muslims and is an integral part of Muslim world. On December 7, Ismail Haniyeh, speaking for Hamas, said, We will never recognise the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem.
Everyone is determined to ignore this, or worse, to live with it. This refusal on the part of the PA should be a deal breaker, but negotiations continue. The same goes for Jerusalem. This is very ominous.The bottom line is that the Arabs want Palestine to replace Israel. This goal is reiterated by all boycott movements, by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and Muslim Student Association (MSA), by Iran when it calls for Israel to be wiped off the map, by the PA that publishes books with maps showing Palestine in place of Israel, by Hamas, and by many UN agencies and NGO's. And they are not alone. The idea of a Jewish state is considered by the Left as anachronistic, retrograde and even racist. Daniel Pipes commented on this in Zionism's Bleak Future. In my article Jewish Israel is the key to its survival, not its end, I reviewed the liberal-Left opposition and argued: One of the icons of the left is affirmative action which obviously denies equality. Affirmative action is seen as making up for years of discrimination and therefore worthy. If anyone or people are entitled to affirmative action, the Jews are. [..] Jews are entitled to this assistance or favouritism or protection whatever you may call it. We paid for it in blood.

The endorsement of the two-state solution is a sham for Western consumption. The demand for a just solution to the Palestinian Refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194, otherwise known as the right of return, vitiates any recognition of the two-state solution, because it effectively is intended to destroy the state of Israel.The enemies of Israel recently coined two new terms, Zion-Cons and Zionofascism. You can imagine why. The war on Zionism continues.

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

DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

A NEW BORN KING, HOPE FOR THE WORLD By: Devvy
December 24, 2007 2007 - NewsWithViews.com

Tomorrow, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. History shows early Christians were tortured and persecuted for their belief that Jesus is the son of God, yet they persisted despite fear of torture and death. In their hearts, they knew the truth and could not turn away, no matter the consequences. Here were are more than 2,000 years later, our Christian beliefs under attack for the past 50 years by the ACLU, commonly referred to as the American Communist Lawyers Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Despite their propaganda to remove Christianity and all references to God from the fabric of this nation, we continue to successfully fight their toxic daily flogging of what is and isn't unconstitutional on that issue.

The state of our Union will only get worse because totalitarian government (communism sold under the deceptive communitarian social system and moral code) can only exist in a Godless country, i.e., Communist China and North Korea. Make no mistake about the intention of the elitists: totalitarian government which mandates removal of God from the American landscape and inculcate the state as parent to the peasants. Allegiance to the state provides privileges from the state. That's how slaves are made. As the attacks on every pillar of freedom and liberty continues, many will want to simply hide their head in the sand. They will get on their knees and accept the chains of slavery and hopelessness.

For the rest of us, we cannot and we will not!

Remember what Council on Foreign Relations member James Paul Warburg, said before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1950: We shall have world government whether or not you like it -- by conquest or consent. Warburg was wrong. He has badly underestimated the resolve of millions of Americans.

I am frequently reminded of a wonderful song reminiscent of our current situation. The lyrics are not about Christ-mas; Man of La Mancha is about a man imprisoned by the Inquisition for an offense against the Church. However, the theme is common with our fight for freedom, for what is right and for all the blessings that God has given this republic:

The Impossible Dream
from Man of La Mancha (1972)
music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

A long time ago, when extraordinary, brave and courageous men, were spilling their blood to birth a free nation - reaching for that seemingly unreachable star - George Washington, said this to his troops in 1776: The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend on God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.

As Washington knelt in the snow during the winter of Valley Forge (1777-1778), most likely feeling such despair as to overwhelm the average man, he put his faith in God and his sword to freedom. We ask for God's blessings, for strength to fight for what's right and to keep our troops safe as we work to bring them home.

ISRAELS INHERITED LAND IN THE FUTURE

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.
Egypt east of the Nile River, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, The southern part of Turkey and the Western Half of Iraq west of the Euphrates. Gen 13:14-15, Psm 105:9,11, Gen 15:18, Exe 23:31, Num 34:1-12, Josh 1:4.

ALL THIS LAND ISRAEL WILL DEFINATELY OWN IN THE FUTURE, ITS ISRAELS NOT ISHMAELS LAND.

12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE

EZEKIEL 47:13-23,48:1-35
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13 And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

Jewish immigrants arrive in Israel from Iran Tue Dec 25, 10:13 AM ET

BEN GURION AIRPORT, Israel (Reuters) - Forty Jewish immigrants from Iran secretly flew to Israel on Tuesday, the largest such influx from the Islamic Republic as a single group in recent years, an Israeli immigration official said. Precise details of how the immigrants traveled from Iran to Israel were barred for publication under Israel's censorship rules for security matters.
The new arrivals were welcomed in a ceremony at Ben Gurion International Airport after arriving on a flight from a transit country which was not named due to censorship.Family members already in Israel gathered to welcome their relatives, who were offered $10,000 each by a Christian and Jewish fellowship to make the move, the official said.Israel is home to tens of thousands of Iranian immigrants, many of whom maintain discreet ties with relatives in their native land despite almost three decades of cold war-style hostility between the Islamic republic and the Jewish state.The official from the Jewish Agency, one of Israel's main organizations which helps bring Jews to the country, said the newcomers abandoned their property and possessions in Iran and left without announcing their intended final destination.The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said most of the new arrivals had come from Tehran. More than 200 Iranians have moved to Israel in 2007, up from 65 in the previous year.

Israel does not forbid its citizens from visiting Iran as the countries were never in open conflict. Iran does not recognize Israel and its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has called for the Jewish state to be wiped off the map.Iran's nuclear program has further stirred war fears in Israel, though Tehran denies having hostile designs. Israel is believed to have the region's only atomic arsenal, but refuses to confirm or deny it.(Writing by Ori Lewis; Editing by Matthew Jones)

NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE USED.

16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
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.

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's military on Tuesday successfully test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads—a weapon intended to replace aging Soviet-era missiles. The RS-24 missile was launched from the Plesetsk launch facility in northern Russia and its test warheads successfully hit designated targets on the Kura testing range on the Kamchatka Peninsula some 4,340 miles east, Strategic Missile Forces spokesman Alexander Vovk told The Associated Press. Vovk said that the missile carried multiple test warheads, but refused to say how many. The Interfax news agency said the RS-24 is capable of carrying at least three warheads. The Strategic Missile Forces said in a statement that the missile was launched from a mobile launcher. It said the new missile was based on the Topol-M and built by the same design team—Moscow's Heat Technology Institute led by Yuri Solomonov. The RS-24 was first test-fired successfully in May.

This missile is being created using scientific and technological solutions from the Topol-M missile which allows to significantly reduce time and cost of its development, the statement said.
Existing Topol-M missiles carry a single nuclear warhead and are capable of hitting targets more than 6,000 miles away. The Strategic Missile Forces said the RS-24 missile is designed to replace Soviet-built missiles with multiple nuclear warheads, such as RS-18 and RS-20. Those missiles are known in the West as the SS-19 Stiletto and the SS-18 Satan. The RS-24's deployment will strengthen the Strategic Missile Forces' capability to penetrate missile defense systems and strengthen the nuclear deterrent potential of Russia's strategic nuclear forces, the statement said. The RS-24 will form the backbone of the Strategic Missile Forces and safely ensure the security of Russia and its allies through the mid-century.President Vladimir Putin has used windfall oil revenues to modernize Russia's military arsenals amid increasing tensions with the West. The Kremlin has fiercely opposed U.S. plans to deploy missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, saying they threaten Russia's security.

Iran to get missile system from Russia: report Wed Dec 26, 2007

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Russia has agreed to sell an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Iran, Iran's defense minister was quoted as saying on Wednesday, a report likely to irritate the United States.S-300 missiles are longer-ranging than the TOR-M1 surface-to-air missiles which Russia, in a deal criticized by the West, earlier this year said it had delivered to the Islamic Republic under a $1 billion contract.Iran is under U.N. sanctions over its refusal to halt sensitive atomic work that Western powers suspect it wants to master so that it can build nuclear bombs, but they do not ban conventional weapons sales to the country.The S-300 system, under a contract signed in the past with Russia, will be delivered to Iran, Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar told Fars News Agency, without giving details.The timing of the delivery ... will be announced later, he said. The ISNA news agency carried a similar report.

The United States and Israel -- Tehran's arch foes -- have said Iran could use the TOR-M1 system to attack its neighbors. Russia says it is a short-range system and purely defensive.Najjar said last month Iran would never launch an attack against another country but warned that anybody trying to invade Iran would face a crushing response.Under Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian arms firms have aggressively pushed sales abroad as the Kremlin seeks to reassert its role as a global power in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.Russia's drive to boost arms exports have raised tensions with the United States, which last year imposed sanctions on Russia's state arms trader Rosoboronexport for cooperating with Iran, a move Moscow has called illegal.

Russia warns of retaliation against U.S. missile shield

MOSCOW, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Russia will take measures of reprisal if the United States insisted on deploying a missile shield in central Europe which could threaten Moscow's national security, a foreign ministry spokesman said Monday. The U.S. missile defense plan will be a strong action designed to weaken Russia's nuclear deterrent, said Mikhail Kamynin in a foreign ministry statement.

Russia would have no other choice than to take measures of reprisal,he said. Russia's head of strategic missile forces, General Nikolai Solovtsov, has threatened to target planned U.S. missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic if Washington ignored Russia's concerns, the Interfax news agency reported. Russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles could target the planned U.S. shield if it was seen to undermine the Russian nuclear deterrent capability, Solovtsov said. Washington has insisted the missile shield, which consists of a radar station in the Czech Republic and interceptor missiles in Poland, is intended to stave off the threat of attacks from what it calls rogue states. Earlier reports said the first missile could be put on alert in Poland in 2011 and the deployment could be completed by 2013. Editor: Du Guodong

Russia launches 3 satellites to expand its space navigation system DEC 24,07 Canadian Press

MOSCOW - Russia on Tuesday launched three satellites to complement its space navigation system, officials said.The satellites were sent into orbit on a Proton-M rocket that blasted off successfully from the Baikonur launchpad in Kazakhstan, said Russia's Federal Space Agency spokesman Alexander Vorobyov.They are to join Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System, or GLONASS - the equivalent of the U.S. Global Positioning System, or GPS.The system, which serves both military and civilian purposes, was developed during Soviet times and is supposed to have 24 satellites. Their number dwindled after the 1991 Soviet collapse, but the government has earmarked funds to revive the system to its full strength thanks to Russia's windfall oil revenues.

Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said that Tuesday's launch would bring the GLONASS satellite fleet to 18 - the number necessary to provide navigation services over the entire Russian territory. He said Monday that the system would be available worldwide by 2010, for which it would need to have 24 satellites.
