SKEPTICAL PEACE TALKS WILL BEAR FRUIT-LIBERMAN

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

EZEKIEL 39:12-22
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

REVELATION 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Late fall and early spring (BIRD MIGRATION SEASONS IN ISRAEL) bring thousands upon thousands of birds, while winter is the season for ducks. Spring brings flowers. And in summer, when the entire country is brown and dry, the Reserve’s green foliage is at the height of its beauty.

Israel is located at the junction of three continents, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Desert. As a result, Israel is a bottleneck, into which all or a large part of the world populations of certain soaring bird species concentrate on their way to their winter quarters in Africa, during both spring and autumn. In addition, many smaller birds migrate through Israel. It has been estimated that the total number of birds passing through Israel during the autumn migration is about 600 million, which is about 10% of the number of birds migrating from the Palearctic region to Africa. The combination of its unique location and small size, facilitates studying a number of basic migratory phenomena. The only other similar site in the world is in Panama.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Liberman says skeptical peace talks will bear fruit

Speaking at Saban Forum in Washington, foreign minister says dialogue, coexistence with Palestinians critical

By Ilan Ben Zion December 7, 2013, 5:30 am 3-The Times of Israel
There’s zero trust between Israel and the Palestinians, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Friday night, voicing scant hope for a prospective peace agreement by the end of the nine month period allotted for the American-brokered peace talks.Speaking at the Brookings Institute’s Saban Forum on ”US-Israel Relations in a Dynamic Middle East,” Liberman said negotiations with the Palestinians must start “not from security and not from refugees, but from some simple thing I call trust, confidence, credibility.”“Without trust and credibility — mission impossible,” he said. The foreign minister said past treaties were made between Israeli and Palestinian rulers, not the respective peoples. “I think we must reach a real comprehensive solution with the Palestinians and not with the rulers,” he said.While he expressed gratitude for US Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to bring the two sides together, “to keep this process alive,” and reach a negotiated resolution to the decades-long conflict, Liberman expressed doubt that there’d be an agreement in the coming year.
“To speak frankly,” said Liberman, “I don’t believe it is possible in the next year to achieve [a] comprehensive solution, to achieve some breakthrough, but I think it’s crucial to keep our dialogue, because we live in the same region, we’re neighbors. It’s important at least to think about coexistence.”Liberman, head of the right-wing Yisrael Beytenu party, said he continued to support a two-state solution, and voiced his backing of a land and population swap with the Palestinians — a plan which would involve the forced transfer of Israeli Arabs to Palestinian Authority control.“We’re ready to share this small land,” he said, saying he was even willing to leave his West Bank settlement should there be hope of a guaranteed negotiated resolution to the conflict. He rejected outright the term “occupation” in the context of Israel’s presence in the West Bank, however, and said the conflict with the Palestinians was not a matter of territory. ”To speak of occupation is not to understand the history of this region and the facts.”He said the Israeli government must break out of its deadlock with the Palestinians, take a step back and reevaluate its policies.“All of our direction on the Palestinian issue is the wrong direction, we must take some time out for a policy review,” he said.Should talks break down, however, Liberman opposed unilateral Israeli action to withdraw from the West Bank, as it did from the Gaza Strip in 2005. “I don’t believe in unilateral steps,” he said twice in his talk with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, noting thousands of rockets fired at Israel in the eight years since it left the Palestinian territory.Turning to the Iranian issue, Liberman reiterated his opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public airing of dirty laundry with the United States over the deal reached with Iran last month. “It’s unnecessary to discuss public disagreements publicly,” he said. “I think to cool down the atmosphere is also very crucial today.”While he acknowledged that Israel sought to diversify its allegiances in the international arena, he said there was no replacement for its close alliance with Washington.“We don’t have any alternative to the United States,” Liberman said, but added that “we can’t disregard Russia” from the Middle East equation. Concerning rumors of a secret Israeli-Saudi alliance against Iran, Liberman didn’t confirm or deny suspicions, but said Israel was open to dialogue with all countries, and said that Saudi Arabia was “not so worried about Israel.”“The biggest threat for them is not Zionism, not Jews, not Israel, but the radical movements in the Arab world like Sunni radical movements like al-Qaeda and of course the Iranian ambitions,” he said. Ignatius commented that he “almost heard an endorsement of an Israeli-Saudi understanding about security.”Liberman also warned against a developing Middle Eastern nuclear arms race involving the Saudis, Iran, Egypt and Turkey, and said Iran’s government headed by President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif didn’t hold the real power, but the supreme leader and Revolutionary Guard did. He said Iran posed a greater threat to the Gulf countries than it did to Israel.“The biggest threat from Iranians is not even to Israel, it is first of all to the [Saudi] allies, to the Gulf countries,” he said.Liberman compared the nuclear deal reached by the US and world powers with Iran and the chemical weapons agreement reached by the US and Russia with Syria. In the Syrian case, the deal was to destroy the chemical weapons and the means of producing them, he said, but in the Iranian case “the centrifuges that were spinning before the agreement continue to spin today” and Iran keeps all enriched uranium.

“It’s really a crucial and big difference between the two deals,” he said, noting that Iran’s end of the bargain was “unacceptable to me and the Israelis” and that Israel “know[s] what the Iranian intentions” are and sees their involvement in terrorist activity in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama are both set to speak at the high-level conference in Washington, DC, this weekend focused on Israel’s relationship with the United States.Netanyahu and the numerous other Israeli politicians set to partake in the event — including Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Energy and Water Resources Minister Silvan Shalom, and Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz — will speak via webcast.The prime minister will be interviewed by PBS News host Charlie Rose on Sunday. Obama will speak with Haim Saban, an Israeli-American mogul who funds the forum, on Saturday morning and Kerry will deliver the keynote address later that day.The annual forum, now in its 10th year, is organized by The Saban Center for Middle East Policy and aims to foster dialogue between American and Israeli political figures on the most pressing issues in the Middle East.In a press release, Tamara Cofman Wittes, director of the Saban Center, highlighted the forum’s increased pertinence this year in light of peace and security issues currently facing Jerusalem and Washington.This year’s forum comes as ties between the US and Israel have become increasingly strained following the interim nuclear deal signed in Geneva last month between Iran and six world powers including the US, which Netanyahu staunchly and outspokenly opposed.US officials responded that they were “very frustrated” by the backlash.In addition, Kerry slammed Israel’s West Bank policies in early November, much to the displeasure of the Israeli leadership.Kerry, in Israel on Thursday, appeared to take a more conciliatory stance toward Israel, stressing that Washington’s main concern in talks with Iran remains Israel’s security.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report. 

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

PSALMS 79:1-13 (GOD GIVES 7 TIMES DESTRUCTION TO WORLD NATIONS FOR COMING AGAINST JERUSALEM)
1  A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance;(JERUSALEM) thy holy temple have they defiled;(AD 70) they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2  The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3  Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5  How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6  Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7  For they have devoured Jacob,(ISRAEL) and laid waste his dwelling place.
8  O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9  Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
10  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
11  Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
12  And render unto our neighbours sevenfold (7 TIMES THE DESTRUCTION) into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.(BY DESTROYING JERUSALEM)
13  So we thy people (ISRAELIS) and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever:(KING JESUS) we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.(FOREVER ON EARTH)

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)

ZECHARIAH 14:1-4 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

EU says No to Russian pipeline, as Ukraine talks resume

06.12.13 @ 09:29
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - The EU has given Ukraine a gift on Russian gas, amid fresh talks on an EU-Ukraine treaty.
The European Commission told the Kremlin in a letter on Wednesday (4 December) that its "South Stream" pipeline - designed to bypass Ukraine, costing it billions in lost transit fees - violates EU law.Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, a senior EU official, made the decision public the same day.Referring to Russia's deals with Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Serbia and Slovenia, he told the European Parliament that "the commission has looked into these intergovernmental agreements [IGAs] and came to the conclusion that none of them is in compliance with EU law."An EU spokeswoman added that if they go ahead, Brussels will trigger "infringement proceedings."EU "unbundling" and "third-party access" laws say energy firms must separate production and distribution and must let competitors use each other's pipes. But the IGAs give Russia exclusive control of South Stream from Siberian gas fields to EU consumers.EU officials say the decision has nothing to do with new talks on an EU-Ukraine free trade treaty.They also say they will not make "cheap deals" with Ukraine to salvage the trade pact.But the South Stream decision squares with Ukraine's threat to leave the European Energy Community, a club of south-east European states, due to lack of EU "solidarity."EU countries have also dropped demands for Ukraine to free its former PM, Yulia Tymoshenko.The gas news came one day before Ukrainian envoys came to the EU capital for talks on reviving the trade pact.The Ukrainian delegation was led by deputy central bank chief Mykola Udovychenko and deputy foreign minister Andrii Olefirov, who met with mid-level diplomats in the EU foreign service.
One contact told EUobserver the talks were "not bad," despite a rift in EU-Ukraine relations after Ukraine said No to the trade treaty on 21 November.Another contact said Ukrainian deputy PM Serhiy Arbuzov is to come to Brussels next week.The EU has refused to reopen negotiations on the trade pact: five and a half kilos' worth of documents, which took six years to put together.Instead, Arbuzov is drafting new terms on "implementation" of the treaty.He is calling it, informally, an EU "Marshall Plan," referring to US funding to rebuild Europe after World War II.It will detail how much extra money Ukraine wants in order to put into life individual EU directives or industrial standards.It will also contain safeguards to ensure the money - as much €10 billion - is not stolen or misused.The fresh talks come amid ongoing pro-EU protests in Ukraine.
Swedish and Polish foreign ministers at a meeting with the Ukrainian PM, Mykola Azarov, in Kiev on Thursday urged him to stop police violence.Meanwhile, Russia and the US spoke of "hysteria" and "chaos."
"This situation is connected to some Europeans' hysteria, which was caused by the fact that Ukraine exercised its sovereign right in deciding not to sign [the] agreement," Russian FM Sergei Lavrov told press at a meeting of the OSCE, a Vienna-based pro-democracy club, also in Kiev on Thursday.The US state department's Victoria Nuland said: "This is Ukraine’s moment to meet the aspirations of its people or to disappoint them, and risk descending into chaos."

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

More of US expected to see snow, sleet, ice

Associated Press
By ADRIAN SAINZ 5 hours ago-DEC 7,13-yahoonews
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — After cold rain and winds lashed the Southwest and other parts of the country Friday, millions of residents hunkered down for icy conditions expected to last through the weekend as the cold snap was forecast to continue causing problems and trekking northeast.Face-stinging sleet, thick snow and blustery winds led to slick road conditions, school closures, power outages and event cancellations as the wintry blast dropped temperatures to freezing and below from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee on Friday.
In California, four people died of hypothermia in the San Francisco Bay Area while the region was gripped by freezing temperatures.The weather created a strangely blank landscape out of normally sun-drenched North Texas: Mostly empty highways were covered in a sometimes impassable frost.It forced the cancellation of Sunday's Dallas Marathon, which was expected to draw 25,000 runners, some of whom had trained for months. A quarter of a million customers in North Texas were left without power, and many businesses told employees to stay home to avoid the hazardous roads.Meanwhile, around 7 inches of snow fell in northeast Arkansas and the Missouri boot heel, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis. Ice accumulated on trees and power lines in Memphis and the rest of West Tennessee after layers of sleet fell throughout the region Friday.The storm dumped a foot of snow and more in some areas of Illinois, with police scrambling to respond to dozens of accidents and forced scores of schools to remain closed.Also, Western and central Kentucky were under winter storm warnings slated to last through late Friday or early Saturday. With warmer temperatures expected in eastern Kentucky, forecasters issued a flood watch into Saturday morning. In northern Kentucky, Covington police closed the Ohio River Roebling Bridge in both directions Friday afternoon due to icy conditionsLooking ahead to Saturday, the National Weather Service says a wind chill advisory is in effect for parts of northeast Arkansas and the Missouri boot heel. Forecasters say wind chill readings between zero and minus-5 degrees may occur.Freezing rain and sleet are likely again Saturday night in Memphis, Nashville and other areas of Tennessee.Some areas looked even further ahead, with Virginia officials warning residents of a major ice storm likely to take shape Sunday, resulting in power outages and hazards on the roads.Late Friday afternoon, emergency officials in Shelby County, Tenn., warned people to continue to stay off ice-slicked roads and highways into Saturday. Meteorologist John Moore said a layer of ice as thick as three-tenths of an inch could accumulate on roads, bridges and highways — including the Interstate 40 corridor — making driving perilous."It looks like we're going to be stuck with this for one, two, maybe three days," said Memphis attorney Sam Chafetz, who was going home early to enjoy some bourbon-soaked sweet potatoes left over from Thanksgiving."I'm not afraid of the ice and snow, I'm afraid of the other drivers who don't know how to drive in it," Chafetz said.Shipping giant FedEx, which has its worldwide hub in Memphis, was monitoring the situation with its team of meteorologists, company spokesman Scott Fielder said. Delivery delays may occur in areas where the storm caused unsafe driving and flying conditions, he warned.Ice had built up on the windshields and roofs of parked cars throughout Memphis on Friday. In Shelby County, which includes the city, crews spread a mixture of salt and cinders on the streets to combat the ice, while business owners also put salt on sidewalks in front of their stores. Law enforcement reported an increase in traffic crashes, and scattered power outages affected more than 3,000 people, emergency and utility officials said.Residents were told to prepare for a few days without power, prompting them to rush to stores to stock up on groceries, buy electricity generators and gas up their cars. Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell reminded residents to check on family and friends who are elderly, disabled or live alone.In Nashville, organizers canceled the Christmas parade. The annual St. Jude Memphis Marathon, scheduled for Saturday, was canceled as well.Sleet also fell in Dyer County, Tenn., where one shelter was on standby and farmers worked to protect crops and livestock.
"We're still getting a lot of sleet falling and roads are slushy and kind of slick," said James Medling, emergency management director for Dyer County.Friday's storm stretched from South Texas, where anxious residents bagged outdoor plants to protect them from the cold, through the Midwest and Ohio Valley and up into northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes.Police in Arlington, about 20 miles west of Dallas, reported one driver was killed when his car slammed into a truck. Authorities in Oklahoma reported two weather-related traffic deaths.Storms this week had already dumped 1 to 2 feet of snow in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin and draped many communities in skin-stinging cold. The temperature in parts of North Dakota on Thursday was a few degrees below zero, but wind chill pushed it to nearly 40 below.
