THE FALSE VATICAN POPE LEO 14TH
ISAIAH 23:15-17
15
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten
seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of
seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16 Take an harp, go
about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody,
sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17 And it shall
come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit
Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with
all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE
70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE
WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND
CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET
ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR
TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.
REVELATION 13:11-18
11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN
POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he
spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR
FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE
WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE
NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had
power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
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.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM
REVELATION 17:1-18

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the
judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:(VATICAN)
2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN
POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with
the wine of her fornication.(THATS PEDOPHELIA-FORNICATION IS SINGLES
HAVING SEX OUT SIDE OF MARRIAGE)(AND SINCE PREISTS CAN NOT MARRY IN THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS FALSE CHURCH GOES AGAINST THE
BIBLE.THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BECOMES A HOMOSEXUAL HAVEN OF PEDOPHILIAS
FACTORY).
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.
4 And the
woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN
COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN)
and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup
in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:(THE
VATICAN GOES AGAINST A PRIEST MARRING A WOMAN-LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS-AND
WHATS AN ABOMINATION AGAINST GOD-HOMOSEXUALITY AND PEDOPHILIA JUST LIKE
THIS SCRIPTURE SAYS-FORNICATION IS THE SINGLE HOMOSEXUAL PRIESTS IN THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH HAVING UNMARRIED FORNICATION OR SEX WITH SINGLES-IN THIS
CASE ITS SEX WITH CHILDREN OR PEDOPHILIA)
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.
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.
8 The beast
that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is
not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS
BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are
fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one
is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet

OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE
WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her
desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(GOD
HIMSELF GIVES THE OK TO NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in
their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom
unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

WHO CREATED THAT BEAUTY IN THE HEAVENS.THE FATHER,SON JESUS AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT THE TRINITY AND ONLY TRUE GOD (NO OTHERS ON EARTH)(OR THE
HEAVENS)
JESUS PREACHED TO PEOPLE IN HELL AFTER HIS DEATH ON GOOD FRIDAY.
DID JESUS PREACH TO PEOPLE IN HELL AT THE RESURRECTION-YES
JESUS
NEVER MENTIONED HEAVEN WHEN THE SINNER REPENTED ON THE CROSS BESIDE OF
JESUS.JESUS SAID YOU WILL BE IN PARADISE WITH ME.THIS IS PROOF THAT NO
PEOPLE WENT TO HEAVEN TILL AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS.
Luke 23:43-King James Version.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.(NOT HEAVEN)
NOW AFTER JESUS RISES FROM DEATH ON SUN.WHAT DID HE SAY.HE DID NOT SAY PARADISE ANY MORE.HE SAID HEAVEN.
MATT 28:18-20 King James Bible
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.(NOT IN PARADISE ANY MORE)
19
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, (NOT DOWN TO PARADISE ANY MORE) and sat on the right hand of
God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
THERES
ALL KINDS OF CHRISTIANS THAT DO NOT EVEN KNOW JESUS WHEN HE DIED ON THE
CROSS FOR ALL HE ACTUALLY WENT TO HELL TO PREACH TO THE LOST BECAUSE
THEY NEVER HEARD THE BIBLE TEACHINGS THAT JESUS DIED,ROSE AGAIN THE 3RD
DAY AND WENT TO HEAVEN.
FOR THE 3 DAYS OF JESUS DEATH HE WAS IN
HELL PREACHING TO THE LOST SOULS.AND IF ANY WERE SAVED THEN THEY ALL
WENT TO HEAVEN IN THE RESURRECTION AS JESUS MOVED HEAVEN OR PARADISE
FROM BESIDE HELL TO HEAVEN UP IN THE SKY.SO ALL THE SAVED THAT WERE ON
THE PARADISE SIDE AND ALL THE LOST THAT WERE SAVED FROM THE HELL SIDE
WENT WITH JESUS TO HEAVEN ABOVE INSTEAD OF HELL AND HEAVEN BEING SIDE BY
SIDE NOW HELL WAS BELOW AND HEAVEN WAS IN THE SKY.
LETS LOOK AT HEAVEN AND HELL SIDE BY SIDE
LUKE 16:23,26
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
26
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so
that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they
pass to us, that would come from thence.
HERE HEAVEN (PARADISE ) AND HELL ARE CLEARLY BESIDE EACH OTHER.
MATTHEW 16:19
19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
REVELATION 4:1-2
1
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the
first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me;
which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
HERE
JESUS HAS THE KEYES TO HEAVEN AND NOTICE A DOOR IS OPENED IN HEAVEN TO -
AND SAYING COME UP HERE TO THE TRUE CHURCH.JESUS UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO
HEAVEN SO CHRISTIANS CAN COME UP HERE.
NOW LETS GET TO JESUS
DYING AND PREACHING TO THE SINNERS IN HELL TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO
REPENT AND GO TO THE NEW HEAVEN WITH JESUS WHEN ITS MOVED.
MATTHEW 27:45-46,50-53
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
NOTICE
AT THE SECOND OF JESUS DEATH A RESURRECTION OF SAVED OCURRS.WELL IN
ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN,THE SAVED SOULS FROM THE PARADISE SIDE OF THE
GULF HAD TO GO BACK INTO THEIR ORIGINAL DEAD BODIES TO RISE FROM THE
DEAD.THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY ALL THE SAVED COULD BE TRANSFERED TO HEAVEN
WITH JESUS AFTER THE 3 DAYS JESUS PREACHES TO THE SINNERS IN HELL.THE
HEAVEN SIDE OR PARADISE SIDE WOULD BE EMPTIED AND ALL IN IT TRANSFERED
TO THE SKY HEAVEN WERE ALL THE SAVED ARE CURRENTLY.
THE SECOND YOU DIE YOUR BODY STAYS PUT BUT THE SOUL GOES TO JESUS OR HELL INSTANTLY DEPENDS WERE YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR ETERNITY.
BUT
BEFORE JESUS DIED FOR US THAT WE COULD BE SAVED BY GRACE PROBABLY MOST
WENT TO HELL SO THIS WILL BE THE ONLY TIME IN HISTORY THAT SINNERS IN
HELL GET TO LISTEN TO JESUS' PREACHNG AND CAN ACTUALLY STILL GO TO
HEAVEN.FROM THIS TIME ON WE CAN ONLY BE SAVED WHILE WERE STILL ALIVE AND
CAN HEAR THE MESSAGE OF JESUS DEATH,BURIAL AND RESURRECTION TO BE
SAVED.IF WE DON'T ACCEPT HIS FREE GIFT WHILE WERE ALIVE WE WILL BE LOST
FOREVER IN HELL.SO AT JESUS' DEATH AND 3 DAYS OF PREACHING IN HELL WAS A
ONE TIME SALVATION MESSAGE NEVER TO BE EQUALLED AGAIN.
1 PETER 3:19

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;(YES
PEOPLE IN HELL ARE IN PRISON CELLS BEING TORMENTED NOT ENJOYING
THEMSELVES LIKE GODLESS CLAIM WILL HAPPEN IN HELL.)

18
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.(JESUS IS THE
ONLY ONE WITH THE KEYES TO THESE HELL PRISON CELLS)
ALL RIGHT SO
FOR THE 3 DAYS JESUS WAS IN THE EARTH HERES PROOF HE PREACHED TO THE
SOULS LOST IN HELL.SO SKEPTIC CHRISTIANS NOW KNOW THE TRUTH.JESUS
PREACHED TO THE DEAD SINNERS IN HELL FOR A LAST TIME CHANCE TO GO TO
HEAVEN.NEVER TO BE DONE AGAIN IN HISTORY.
1 PETER 3:18-22
18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few,
that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure
whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of
the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
HERES
WHAT ITS LIKE IN HELL,YOU CAN SEE,HEAR,TALK,FEEL EMOTIONS,RECOGNISE
PEOPLE,ITS OUR SAME BODY IN EVERY WAY BUT ONLY IN A SPIRIT STATE THAT
NEVER DIES AND THE PUNISHMENTS GO ON FOREVER IN THAT BODY.OR IF IN
HEAVEN PEACE-LOVE-JOY FOREVER WITH JESUS IN OUR NEW NEVER DYING BODY.BUT
CHRISTIANS LIVE BACK ON EARTH FOREVER WITH JESUS AFTER THE 7 YEAR
TRIBULATION PERIOD WHEN JESUS RULES FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER AFTER THAT AS
REIGNING KING AND ISRAELI MESSIAH AND THE REST OF THE WORLDS SAVIOUR.
LUKE 16:22-31
22
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my
tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and
likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you
cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
THEN
AFTER THE 3 DAYS JESUS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN AND TOOK ALL THE SAVED FROM
THE PARADISE SIDE AND THE HELL SIDE WITH HIM TO WERE THE CURRENT HEAVEN
IS IN THE SKY UNTIL HE AND THE CURRENT PEOPLE IN HEAVEN RETURN TO EARTH
BODILY WITH HIM TO LIVE HERE ON EARTH FOREVER WITH JESUS WHILE HE RULES
FROM JERUSALEM.
ACTS 1:10-11
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH BODILY TO RULE AND REIGN FROM DAVIDS THRONE FOREVER AND WE COME BACK WITH HIM ON WHITE HORSES.
ZECHARIAH 14:4
4
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is
before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in
the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall
be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the
north, and half of it toward the south.
REVELATION 19:11-16
11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon
him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge
and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head
were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
ISAIAH 9:6-7
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7
Of the increase of his 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,

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)

walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling

NASA
Artemis II crew captures Earth’s brilliant blue beauty as they rocket
to moon-NASA crew takes pictures of home through capsule window; by
Friday afternoon, they were more than 110,000 miles from Earth, and are
set to pass moon by Monday By Marcia Dunn Today, 6:15 am-APR 4,26
CAPE
CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — The Artemis II astronauts have captured our
blue planet’s brilliant beauty as they zoom ever closer to the moon.NASA
released the crew’s first downlinked images Friday, 1 1/2 days into the
first astronaut moonshot in more than half a century.The first photo
taken by Commander Reid Wiseman shows a curved slice of Earth in one of
the capsule’s windows. The second shows the entire globe with the oceans
topped by swirling white tendrils of clouds. A green aurora even glows,
according to NASA.“It’s great to think that with the exception of our
four friends, all of us are represented in this image,” said NASA’s
Lakiesha Hawkins, an exploration systems leader. She added that the
mission was going well.As of late Friday afternoon, Wiseman and his crew
were more than 110,000 miles (180,000 kilometers) from Earth and were
quickly gaining on the moon with another 150,000 miles (240,000
kilometers) to go. They should reach their destination on Monday.The
three Americans and one Canadian will swing around the moon in their
Orion capsule, hang a U-turn, and then head straight back home without
stopping. They fired Orion’s main engine Thursday night, which set them
on their course.After Mission Control shifted the position of their
capsule, the entire Earth, complete with northern lights, filled their
windows.“It was the most spectacular moment, and it paused all four of
us in our tracks,” Wiseman said in a TV interview.They’re the first
lunar travelers since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Iran said restoring
bombed missile bunkers within hours after being struck-US intelligence
said to believe Iran retains notable number of missiles and launchers,
casts doubt on how close Washington is to goal of destroying Tehran’s
ballistic capabilities By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 9:36 am-APR 4,26
Iranian
personnel are digging out bombed underground missile bunkers and silos
from the rubble, bringing them back into service within hours after
being struck by the US and Israel, US intelligence has reportedly
assessed.American intelligence also believes that Tehran has preserved a
notable amount of missiles and mobile launchers, and has cast doubt on
how close Washington has come to its goal of destroying the Islamic
Republic’s missile capability, according to US intelligence reports
cited by The New York Times on Friday.According to the report,
Washington can not be certain how many missile launchers have been
destroyed because Iran has deployed decoys. While underground bunkers
and silos may appear damaged, launchers can be quickly recovered from
rubble and used for attacks, the report added.According to a senior
Western official, Iran has been firing some 15-30 ballistic missiles and
50-100 suicide drones a day across the region.US officials told the
Times that Iran wants to conserve as much of its missile launch
capabilities as possible, so that it can continue to threaten the region
as the conflict drags on, and even when it ends.The report came after
CNN also cited a US intelligence assessment that around half of Iran’s
ballistic missile launchers are still intact despite over a month of US
and Israeli strikes across the country.Some of the remaining missile
launchers are not believed to be accessible at present, due to having
been buried under rubble amid the waves of airstrikes, the CNN report
said.Israel launched its campaign against Iran, alongside the US, to
degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, distance threats
posed by Iran — including its nuclear and ballistic missile programs —
and “create the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the regime,
the military and other Israeli leaders have said.Public statements by
Israel and the US are more optimistic about the successes of the
airstrikes, with US President Donald Trump declaring that operations
have neared completion of their core objectives this week.In response to
the CNN report, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly insisted: “Iranian
ballistic missile and drone attacks are down around 90%, their navy is
wiped out, two-thirds of their production facilities are damaged or
destroyed, and the United States and Israel have overwhelming air
dominance over Iran.”Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the article
was “completely wrong.” He said the US was “far ahead of schedule on
accomplishing our military objectives,” including to “destroy Iran’s
missile arsenal.”For its part, Israel said in March that it had
destroyed or disabled around 60 percent of Iran’s estimated 470
ballistic missile launchers.Since the start of the war, Iran has
launched more than 500 ballistic missiles at Israel, with the Israel
Defense Forces reporting an interception rate of 92% of attacks heading
for populated areas and key infrastructure.In all, 12 missiles carrying
conventional warheads with hundreds of kilograms of explosives have
struck populated areas in Israel, causing extensive damage. There have
also been more than 30 incidents of missiles carrying cluster bomb
warheads hitting populated areas, with over 200 separate impact sites.
Explosion
hits Christian pro-Israel center in the Netherlands-No one was hurt in
the blast as a wave of explosions targeting Jewish and Israel related
institutions has been hitting Europe in recent weeks By Agencies and ToI
Staff Today, 2:05 pm-APR 4,26
Dutch police on Saturday said
they were investigating an explosion overnight at the Israel Center in
the central town of Nijkerk.There were no reports of injuries and the
damage at the site, run by the Christians for Israel charity, was
minimal, a police statement posted on social media said.Police said
there had been no arrests and appealed for witnesses to come
forward.Christians for Israel said the detonation was caused by an
explosive device.In a statement on its website, the group expressed
shock and said the blast fits a pattern of attacks on Jewish sites that
are intended to sow fear.Israel’s Ambassador to the Netherlands, Zvi
Aviner Vapni, said that the explosion was not an isolated incident and
called for the capture of the perpetrators, in a post on
X.https://t.co/dLJYa9hyyZ First Jews were intimidated and attacked in
the Netherlands. Now Christians who support Israel are being targeted
too. This explosion at the Christenen voor Israël center in Nijkerk is
not an isolated incident: these criminals must be captured and…
Advertisement — Amb. Zvi A. Vapni (@vapni) April 4, 2026-The incident
comes after a string of similar attacks on Jewish sites across Europe in
recent weeks that has heightened concerns over antisemitism in the wake
of the war in the Middle East.In March, four ambulances in north London
belonging to Hatzola, a Jewish not-for-profit volunteer organization
that responds to medical emergencies, were set ablaze outside a
synagogue in an antisemitic hate crime.UK media outlets reported that a
terror group going by the name Ashab al-Yamin had taken responsibility
for the attack on social media.The group emerged publicly last month and
is believed to be linked with Iranian terror networks. Israel’s
Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry said the group has
claimed responsibility for a series of explosions and arson attacks
targeting Jewish sites in Belgium, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam.The group
also claimed that it had attacked a Jewish site in Greece earlier this
month, although it is not clear what that referred to.One such attack
was an explosion targeted a synagogue in Liège, Belgium in March. No one
was injured in the blast.Belgium later began deploying military troops
to reinforce security at synagogues and Jewish schools.Another explosion
hit a Jewish school in Amsterdam in March, that damaged a rain pipe and
charred an outer wall at the school. It is the only one specifically
for Orthodox Jews in the Netherlands, and is largely fenced off by a
pointed, metal outer wall due to earlier threats.A week prior, in the
Dutch city of Rotterdam, Dutch police they had arrested four young men
on suspicion of setting off an explosion outside a synagogue in the city
that caused a brief blaze and damage to the building.
Iran
executes two members of banned opposition group-Two members of People’s
Mujahedin of Iran convicted of actions aimed at overthrowing the Islamic
Republic as Tehran steps up executions amid war with Israel and US-By
AFP Today, 9:01 am-APR 4,26
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Saturday
executed two men convicted of membership in a banned opposition group
and carrying out disruptive actions aimed at overthrowing the Islamic
Republic, the judiciary said.The executions were the latest in a series
targeting members of the banned People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), after
four other convicted members of the group were executed earlier in the
week.They also come against the backdrop of Iran’s war with the United
States and Israel, sparked by US-Israeli strikes on February 28 that
killed the country’s supreme leader and have since triggered a wider
regional conflict.“Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Baniamerian … were
hanged after trial and their sentences were upheld by the Supreme
Court,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said on Saturday.The men
were found guilty of attempting “rebellion through involvement in
multiple terrorist acts,” as well as membership in the MEK group and
carrying out acts of sabotage aimed at overthrowing the Islamic
Republic.It was not immediately clear when the men were arrested.The
MEK, which initially supported the 1979 Islamic revolution before
falling out with the leadership in the 1980s, has since been in exile
and is designated a terrorist organization by Tehran.Iran is the world’s
second most prolific executioner after China, according to rights
groups.Since the war began, it has executed multiple individuals,
including on Thursday, when authorities executed a man convicted of
acting on behalf of Israel and the United States during a wave of
anti-government protests earlier this year.On March 19, three others
convicted of killing police officers during the protests were also
executed.Also in March, Iran executed Kouroush Keyvani, a dual
Iranian-Swedish national, on charges of spying for Israel, drawing
condemnation from Stockholm and the European Union.

2026, as military faces mounting manpower shortage By Emanuel

The Israel Defense Forces is
extending the time reservists will serve this year, according to an
updated military chart, amid the war in Iran and against Hezbollah in
Lebanon.As part of the changes, reservists will now be called up for
nine weeks of operational activity this year. Previously, reservists
were expected to be called up for six weeks in 2026.The IDF stated that
an updated version of its “combat chart” was distributed to all units
following a recent assessment.The changes apply to reservists who are
scheduled to be called up to replace those who have been serving amid
the war in Iran or before it. However, those currently on reserve duty
will also have their time extended, the military said.The IDF has said
it urgently needs 12,000 recruits — mostly combat troops — due to the
strain on standing and reserve forces caused by the IDF’s recent
conflicts.IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has several times urged
the government to again extend mandatory military service for men to 36
months, after it was shortened to 30 months in August 2024.In January
2027, the first cohort enlisted under this shorter service will be
relieved, further exacerbating manpower issues, unless the existing law
is changed.Zamir warned again on Wednesday that the “heavy price” of the
change will be paid by reservists and their families. “They are the
ones who will be called to service time after time.”Zamir said he
requested that three laws “that affect the readiness of the IDF and its
reserve system be advanced.”Those include a law extending the mandatory
service time; a law changing how reservists are called up and for how
long, given that currently the IDF relies on emergency call-up orders
with various limitations; and “a relevant conscription law that will be
adapted to the needs of the IDF at the present time.”The current
government has been working to pass a bill that would enshrine blanket
exemptions from military conscription for Haredi yeshiva students,
despite the IDF warning repeatedly that it needs more troops after two
years of war.The bill has come under fire from IDF brass, the attorney
general, and a wide array of other critics, who have objected to it on
the grounds that it is full of loopholes, preserves inequality in the
mandatory draft, and will not increase Haredi enlistment amid what the
military says is a manpower shortage.A senior military officer told
lawmakers in December that the bill falls short of solving the IDF’s
manpower shortage.Some 80,000 ultra-Orthodox men aged between 18 and 24
are currently believed to be eligible for military service, but have not
enlisted.“In summary, in light of the expansion of missions in the
coming years and the motivation of the IDF to realize them all with
excellence, the IDF is required to grow,” Zamir wrote. He added, “As we
have expressed more than once, we need a large and strong army.”
