MORE RELIGIOUS PLURALISM

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

REVELATION 11:1-19 (THE 2 WITNESSES PREACH) (THE TRIBULATION CONTINUES)
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.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses,(ELIJAH,MOSES) and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them,fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them,(MOSES-ELIJAH) he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony,(AT THE 3 1/2 YR MARK OF THE TRIB) the beast(WORLD DICTATOR) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,(JERUSALEM) where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they(ELIJSH-MOSES) heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.(REV 4:1 WE KNOW IS THE RAPTURE FOR SURE) And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.(RAPTURED)
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

I THOUGHT ELIJAH AND MOSES WOULD SEPARATE THE TRIBES. YES THEY WILL.BUT THIS HEADLINE MIGHT LEAD TO THE 12 TRIBES BEING IDENTIFIED.

Tzohar: Release List of State-Approved Diaspora Rabbis

Rabbi David Stav, Tzohar's director, calls on Rabbinate to released list of rabbis abroad who can legally determine Jewish status.-By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 11/11/2013, 9:33 PM-Israelnationalnews

Rabbi Stav
Rabbi Stav-Tzohar
Rabbi David Stav, Director of the Tzohar organization for religious rights in Israel, has asked the Rabbinate Monday to release a list of state-approved Diaspora rabbis which can legally determine a person's Jewish status. In a meeting with Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau, Rabbi Stav asked the Rabbinate to reveal a list of the rabbis which are approved in the Diaspora to legally declare someone Jewish under Israeli law. The list is an important one; the move could enable Jews living abroad to make Aliyah more smoothly, and for more marriages to be approved by the Rabbinate without having to undergo an unnecessary bureaucratic process. Tzohar notes that while there are hundreds of rabbis across Europe and North America, the rules regarding who is qualified to declare an immigrant's status as Jewish and who is not remain patently unclear. "The lack of clear definitions," says Tzohar, "can lead to a chasm in the Jewish people, to make two peoples: Jews in Israel, and Jews abroad." "We understand that Rabbi Lau did not create this crisis - he merely inherited it," the organization stated, "but the responsibility still lies with the Chief Rabbinate." Tzohar notes that the ambiguities have lead to ongoing problems for immigrants from the US, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere who wish to marry in Israel. Couples "often have to bring proof from their community rabbis of their Jewishness. However, in recent years the Chief Rabbinate has greatly reduced the number of rabbis qualified to declare a person's Jewish status for marriage certification." The Chief Rabbinate has overseen marriages, divorces, conversions, and other issues within the framework of Jewish Law. Tzohar insists that while "many rabbis can address these issues abroad, several times the Chief Rabbinate prevents them from proceeding here" in Israel. "Insofar as Tzohar rabbis know, the list of approved rabbis from the Diaspora has never been published," the statement continued. Tzohar also declared that it would be grateful if the Rabbinate could at least release a list to them of approved Diaspora rabbis, and the criterion which determines the status of those rabbis, in order to help immigrants and potential immigrants manage the Rabbinate system easily and smoothly."Due to the importance of the issues, we would appreciate if the Rabbinate would release the list in a timely matter. In any case, the list is probably in front of you on a daily basis," the statement concluded. While the statement was sent over two months ago to the Chief Rabbinate, no response has been issued yet. Tzohar has been involved in a range of sweeping changes to the current marriage and conversion laws which have been proposed this month to the Knesset. One of them, the 'Tzohar bill', proposes that the responsibility for marriage licenses be transferred to municipal Rabbinical Courts.

JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH BODILY TO RULE AND REIGN FROM DAVIDS THRONE FOREVER AND WE COME BACK WITH HIM ON WHITE HORSES.

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

ZECHARIAH 14:4
4 And his (JESUS) feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

MATTHEW 24:27-30
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.(WW3 BIGTIME DEATH)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

REVELATION 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;(JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH LITERALLY) and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies (CHRISTIANS RAPTURED 7 YEARS EARLIER) which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

ISAIAH 9:6-7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:(JESUS 1ST COMING) and the government shall be upon his shoulder:(JESUS 2ND COMING AS RULING KING FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER AT THE END OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION) and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his (JESUS) government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,( IN JERUSALEM) and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

JUDE 14-16
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.(KING JESUS-GOD)
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Mortal Danger' to Travel to Mount of Olives

Knesset committee hearing Monday discusses security issues at historic site; no police until Defense Min. confirms danger.-By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 11/11/2013, 9:24 PM-Israelnationalnews

A Knesset committee hearing regarding internal security issues at the Mount of Olives revealed that the roads to the historic site present a mortal danger to travelers and pilgrims. The Mount of Olives holds one of Judaism's oldest cemeteries, and is the burial site of several prominent religious leaders. The discussion, which was mediated by Likud MK Miri Regev, opened with a statement from MK Avraham Michaeli (Shas) that he is "afraid to go to the Mount of Olives" and that "when you go there, you find yourself in mortal danger." Numerous rock-throwing attacks were launched against Jews visiting the Mount of Olives this September, who were praying at the historic site just before the Rosh Hashanah holiday. One New York family was attacked by rioting Arabs and eventually required hospitalization. Michaeli also addressed the urgency of passing a law which would establish Jewish authority over the Mount, which was introduced in the previous Knesset but has not been pushed forward since. The law had originally been pushed by former MK Professor Aryeh Elded. Michaeli also advocated stricter penalties for rock-throwing and the introduction of a regular patrol in the area to prevent more attacks against Jewish visitors. Jewish Home (Bayit Yehudi) MK Orit Struk supported the initiatives, reiterating that "these are not insurgents - they're terrorists." Struk was heading home on a public bus last week which was firebombed by Arab terrorists.
The Knesset hearing provided a grim picture of the current situation on the Mount of Olives. Graves are desecrated on a regular basis; visitors often face rock-throwing attacks, stone roadblocks, and other hazards when traveling to the site. The discussion also revealed that while a police station stands on the site and is technically open 24 hours a day, the reality is that there are only 2 cars patrolling the site until 9:00 pm, and 1 car during the night. Regev stated that while the station may be open, it is in a state of default; it is not actively patrolling like it should be to prevent more attacks. Avraham Lubinsky, director of the Mount of Olives Protection Committee, maintained that the police are underestimating the need for security on the Mount and on the roads leading up to the Mount. MK Menachem Eliezer Moses (United Torah Judaism) added that an Arab high school stands along the road up to the Mount, and that students there frequently initiate rock-throwing attacks, knowing that they won't be caught. Hillel Horowitz, director of the Cemetery Council of Jerusalem, insists that additional police stands should be established on consistently problematic areas of the Mount, that cameras be placed along the walls for 24/7 security monitoring, and that a budget be set to restore the desecrated graves. "We are not just talking about rioting," Horowitz said. "We are talking about attempted murder."Regev ended the session by noting the Committee's dissatisfaction with the performance of Israeli police on the Mount. She emphasized the inherent lack of security for visitors and that "no municipal investigation will begin until the Ministry for Defense in the Interior can confirm what exactly is going on at the Mount." Another hearing will convene in about two months.

Lapid, Yachimovich urge more religious pluralism

JERUSALEM — Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Labor Party Chairwoman Shelly Yachimovich called for greater religious pluralism in Israel.Speaking in separate appearances Monday at a plenary session of the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly in Jerusalem, Lapid and Yachimovich both advocated for the loosening of Orthodox control of Israel’s religious laws.Yachimovich stressed the need to reform the state’s marriage laws, which grant exclusive control over Jewish marriage in Israel to the Orthodox-dominated Chief Rabbinate.Lapid’s Yesh Atid party, a member of the governing coalition, promised ahead of elections this year that it would fight for marriage reform and submitted a bill last month to institute civil unions, including for same-sex couples.“I truly believe this is ridiculous that the State of Israel is the only place in the Western world where Jews do not have freedom of religion,” Lapid said at the plenary. “Women must be allowed to pray wearing prayer shawls. We should equalize Reform, Conservative and Orthodox. It’s very important to us that Israel would be pluralistic.”The Modern Orthodox Jewish Home Party, also a coalition member, is expected to veto the measure.In her speech, Yachimovich said Labor was preparing to submit its own bill to institute civil marriage, including same-sex marriage.“We currently have a unique opportunity,” said Yachimovich, leader of the Knesset’s opposition parties. “Parties in the coalition and opposition are capable of joining forces to pass this law.”

Stop gas mask production, defense officials say

As Syria dismantles its chemical arsenal, the risk of an attack may have diminished, but military sources say recommendation may be ‘overly optimistic’

November 12, 2013, 1:06 am 0-The Times of Israel
Senior defense officials on Monday recommended that the production and distribution of gas masks be halted, citing new “intelligence assessments,” and possibly indicating a decrease in the likelihood of a Syrian chemical attack.The cabinet is expected to review the recommendation in the coming days, according to Channel 2 News.Reuters’ Dan Williams Tweeted on Monday night that the Defense Ministry claimed “it has no knowledge of a recommendation to stop issuing gas masks.”But a Ma’ariv report confirmed that the recommendation was submitted, and it quoted military sources who said it was an “overly optimistic” suggestion that did not take into account the possibility that chemical weapons could transfer to other groups hostile to Israel.In a last-minute deal brokered by Moscow, Syrian President Bashar Assad agreed to dismantle his chemical weapons program, and to have all deadly chemical agents shipped out of the country by mid-2014, thereby thwarting a US attack in September.Over the summer, Israelis flooded gas mask distribution centers, fearing what seemed as an imminent US attack on Syria, which in turn was expected by many to trigger retaliation against Israel.Despite Home Front Command efforts, in late August it was estimated that some 40 percent of Israelis did not have masks.
