PASSOVER SCRIPTURES

If we want to learn by the Israelis we better start reading the scriptures they do on feasts and holy days, because Prophecies will be happening on those days and they will go by what the Israelis read on these days I believe. How the judgements will come upon the Earth.

Here are the Passover scriptures for Christians to read along with Israelis on each of the 8 days of passover. HAPPY PASSOVER TO ISRAEL STARTING TOMORROW AND HAPPY EASTER TO CHRISTIANS ALSO ESPECIALLY FRIDAY TO MONDAY.

PESACH ( PASSOVER ) ISRAEL FREED FROM EGPYT BY GOD


DAY 1 OF PASSOVER FROM TORAH ( WEDNESDAY APRIL 12, 2006)

EXODUS 12:21-51
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

NUMBERS 28:16-25
16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.
17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:
19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

DAY 1 OF PASSOVER FROM THE PROPHETS (WEDNESDAY APRIL 12, 2006)

JOSHUA 3:5-7
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

JOSHUA 5:2-6:1,27
2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the
place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

ISAIAH 52:13-53:12
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

2ND DAY OF PASSOVER (TORAH) (THURSDAY APRIL 13, 2006)

LEVITICUS 22:26-23:44
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall
wave it.12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

NUMBERS 28:16-25 READ FROM DAY 1

DAY 2 OF PASSOVER FROM THE PROPHETS (THURSDAY APRIL 13, 2006)

2 KINGS 23:1-9,21-25
1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

SHABBAT( FRIDAY) DURING PASSOVER (FROM TORAH) (FRIDAY APRIL 14, 2006)

EXODUS 33:12-34:26
12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

SHABBAT ( FRIDAY ) DURING PASSOVER (FROM PROPHETS) (FRIDAY APRIL 14, 2006)

EZEKIEL 36:37-37:14
37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

7TH DAY OF PASSOVER (FROM TORAH) (TUESDAY APRIL 18,2006)

EXODUS 13:17-15:26
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

NUMBERS 28:19-25 (READ FROM DAY 1)

7TH DAY OF PASSOVER (FROM PROPHETS) (TUESDAY APRIL 18, 2006)

2 SAMUEL 22:1-51
1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the
blast of the breath of his nostrils.17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

8TH DAY OF PASSOVER (FROM TORAH) (WEDNESDAY APRIL 19, 2006)

DEUTERONOMY 15:19-16:17
19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

8TH DAY OF PASSOVER (FROM PROPHETS) (WEDNESDAY APRIL 19, 2006)

ISAIAH 10:32-12:6
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the
fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

FLASH FLOODS IN KENYA

Flash Floods in Kenya Kill Several, Displace Thousands
voa news

Red Cross says Isiolo area hardest hit April rains have triggered flash floods in parts of Kenya, including Nairobi, displacing thousands of people and killing at least three.

Abbas Gullet is the secretary general of the Kenyan Red Cross / Red Crescent Society. From Nairobi, he spoke to English to Africa reporter Joe De Capua about the floods. â€Å“We’ve been facing this very serious drought that we have faced for many years and now the long rains have finally come to most parts of the country. So there have been heavy rainfalls received
in many parts of the country and in particular in northern Kenya in Moyale, Marsabit, Mandera, Isiolo.

But the area (most) affected was Isiolo and in Garba Tula Division where about 3,000 people were displaced by flash floods four days ago. And they were serious, but the waters have subsided in that area. The Red Cross has been in the area since Saturday. This happened Thursday last week and we were there Friday, Saturday and distributed some relief items. There are floods reported in other parts of the country, but not very serious yet. God forbid, it doesn't become serious, he says. However, rain over the past five days caused flash floods in poor parts of the Kenyan capital. Gullet says,There are three people who have lost their lives also in the city of Nairobi in some of the slums.

The flood victims lived along riverbanks. The Red Cross / Red Crescent Society has dealt with such problems before.This is a perennial problem, he says. There is also concern that the rains could trigger outbreaks of disease.

ICE BLOCK FALLS IN CALIFORNIA

Well just like i mentioned would happen in the future 80-120 pound hail will be falling on people during the 7 yr tribulation, well here is a sample of the future.

REVELATION 16:16-21
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city (JERUSALEM) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: (80-120 pounds) and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

This hail falls on people when all Nations are gathered against JERUSALEM. This is at the very end of the 7 yr treaty just before Jesus returns to earth bodily.

Three foot block of ice falls in Oakland Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. - Even the experts are having trouble explaining a solid block of ice that fell from the sky, crashed into earth and left behind a three-foot hole in the grass.

The ice fell at Bushrod Park in Oakland early Saturday when homeowner Jacek Purat of Berkeley was waiting nearby to show apartments to prospective renters. "It was totally amazing. ... I saw this flash, like a streak. Then I saw this explosion, like a big boom! I came over and it (the field) was all covered with ice. Some were this big," Purat said, making a head-size circle with his two hands.

Brooks and Judith Mencher said they were standing on their back porch near the park when they heard a sound like a very loud rocket. "It kind of went 'whoosh!'" Brooks Mencher said.
The impact "knocked turf 20 feet away," according to Oakland Police Sgt. Ron Lighten. No one was injured.

Lt. Charles Glass of the Oakland Fire Hazardous Materials Team said the ice was pure water. "It didn't come from a toilet on a plane or anything like that." Glass said the ice that firefighters pulled from the hole was about the same size of the hole - three by three feet and two and a
half feet deep.

Tony Hirsch, a Columbus, Ohio-based aviation expert, said ice falls of pure water are not uncommon: "Ice builds up on airplanes and falls off as they prepare to land." But Hirsch said the airplane "would have to descend through what we call visible moisture, rain or clouds, for ice to build up."

The skies were partly cloudy Saturday morning. He said a large chunk of ice could build up on the vertical stabilizer or in a wheel well: "When they lower their landing gear, it falls off."
The National Weather Service said San Francisco Bay area storms haven't been violent enough to hatch a gigantic hailstone on its own. "There's nothing meteorological that would create a piece that big falling into Oakland," said weather service forecaster Diana Henderson.

It could simply be an unexplained "ice fall," one expert said. Big balls of ice sometimes fall from the sky without any real explanation.

USA READY TO BOMB IRAN

Its about time George W goes after Iran, and let Israel do some bombings to, to get back at Iran for suppling Missles from Russia to Hamas in the Gaza strip. If they do not Bomb Iran the first wave of WW3 when Ruusia and the Muslims march to Israel could happen.

Even though I think the 1ST WAVE OF WW3 is after the Rapture of the Church, then the 7 year treaty signing, then midway through this 7 yr covenant Russia and the Muslim horde march. I BELIEVE!

But our God (JESUS) is in control and all I have to say is let Gods prophecies be fulfilled so he gets the praise and glory. And I pray this in KING JESUS' (OUR GODS) name AMEN AND AMEN. It is done.

Bush 'is planning nuclear strikes on Iran's secret sitesBy Philip Sherwell in Washington
(Filed: 09/04/2006)

The Bush administration is planning to use nuclear weapons against Iran, to prevent it acquiring its own atomic warheads, claims an investigative writer with high-level Pentagon and intelligence contacts. President George W Bush is said to be so alarmed by the threat of Iran's hard-line leader, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, that privately he refers to him as "the new Hitler", says Seymour Hersh, who broke the story of the Abu Ghraib Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal.

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad: 'The new Hitler'

Some US military chiefs have unsuccessfully urged the White House to drop the nuclear option from its war plans, Hersh writes in The New Yorker magazine. The conviction that Mr Ahmedinejad would attack Israel or US forces in the Middle East, if Iran obtains atomic weapons, is what drives American planning for the destruction of Teheran's nuclear programme.
Hersh claims that one of the plans, presented to the White House by the Pentagon, entails the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites.

One alleged target is Iran's main centrifuge plant, at Natanz, 200 miles south of Teheran.
Although Iran claims that its nuclear programme is peaceful, US and European intelligence agencies are certain that Teheran is trying to develop atomic weapons. In contrast to the run-up to the Iraq invasion, there are no disagreements within Western intelligence about Iran's plans.
This newspaper disclosed recently that senior Pentagon strategists are updating plans to strike Iran's nuclear sites with long-distance B2 bombers and submarine-launched missiles. And last week, the Sunday Telegraph reported a secret meeting at the Ministry of Defence where military chiefs and officials from Downing Street and the Foreign Office discussed the
consequences of an American-led attack on Iran, and Britain's role in any such action.

The military option is opposed by London and other European capitals. But there are growing fears in No 10 and the Foreign Office that the British-led push for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear stand-off, will be swept aside by hawks in Washington. Hersh says that within the Bush administration, there are concerns that even a pummelling by conventional strikes, may not sufficiently damage Iran's buried nuclear plants. Iran has been developing a series of bunkers and facilities to provide hidden command centres for its leaders and to protect its
nuclear infrastructure.

The lack of reliable intelligence about these subterranean facilities, is fuelling pressure for tactical nuclear weapons to be included in the strike plans as the only guaranteed means to destroy all the sites simultaneously. The attention given to the nuclear option has created serious misgivings among the joint chiefs of staff, and some officers have talked about resigning, Hersh has been told. The military chiefs sought to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans for Iran, without success, a former senior intelligence officer said. The Pentagon consultant on the war on terror confirmed that some in the administration were looking seriously at this option, which he linked to a resurgence of interest in tactical nuclear weapons among defence department political appointees.

The election of Mr Ahmedinejad last year, has hardened attitudes within the Bush Administration. The Iranian president has said that Israel should be "wiped off the map". He has drafted in former fellow Revolutionary Guards commanders to run the nuclear programme, in further signs that he is preparing to back his threats with action. Mr Bush and others in the White House view him as a potential Adolf Hitler, a former senior intelligence official told Hersh.

"That's the name they're using. They say, 'Will Iran get a strategic weapon and threaten another world war?' Despite America's public commitment to diplomacy, there is a growing belief in Washington that the only solution to the crisis is regime change. A senior Pentagon consultant said that Mr Bush believes that he must do "what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do," and "that saving Iran is going to be his legacy". Publicly, the US insists it remains committed to diplomacy to solve the crisis. But with Russia apparently intent on vetoing any threat of punitive action at the UN, the Bush administration is also planning for unilateral military action. Hersh repeated his claims that the US has intensified clandestine activities inside Iran, using special forces to identify targets and establish contact with anti-Teheran ethnic-minority groups.

The senior defence officials said that Mr Bush is "determined to deny Iran the opportunity to begin a pilot programme, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium".

TORNADOES STRIKE MIDWEST AGAIN

Well for the second time in 5 days Tornadoes destroy and kill people, another 11 died for a total of 35 deaths in the last week due to 80-90 Tornadoes.

The Hail was once again the size of Golf balls to soft Balls in places. Last year to this point in the Tornado season there were 96 Tornadoes. This year there has been over 400 Tornadoes already, a 400% increase in Tornado activity.

People better start realizing that God is warning the world to repent. And this is only the beggining of sorrows to come in the near future.

10 different tennessee counties reported Tornado touchdowns.

Tornadoes strike Tennessee, kill 11 By Pat Harris Sat Apr 8, 12:05 AM ET NASHVILLE,

Tennessee (Reuters) - Tornadoes battered the nation's midsection on Friday, killing 11 people in central Tennessee in the second deadly tornado outbreak in the state this week, officials said.
The winds knocked over walls at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin where some 200 students had huddled inside a building and watched as the storm approached. Despite the heavy damage to the campus, the injuries were mostly minor cuts and bruises.

What had been stately brick homes near Gallatin were heavily damaged, and rubble was strewn across upscale neighborhoods. And several people were rescued after being trapped in their cars by storm debris. The 11 confirmed deaths were in communities near Nashville, including eight fatalities northeast of the city in the outskirts of Gallatin in Sumner County, said Eddie Boatwright of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.

In Warren County, where the other three deaths occurred, authorities said some mobile homes were destroyed and a truck overturned. A series of tornadoes on Sunday across the central United States left 28 people dead, including 24 in west Tennessee where a huge twister obliterated homes in its path. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center reported 42 tornadoes were sighted on Friday in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Indiana and Kentucky. The violent weather grew out of a powerful storm system working its way across
the nation.

Warning sirens sounded across central Tennessee on Friday as dark funnel clouds sent tornadoes spinning to the ground, accompanied by heavy rain and hail, some as big as baseballs, witnesses said."Cars were tossed around" in Nashville's suburbs, the city's mayor, Bill Purcell, said, although the city itself appeared to have been spared.

A tornado damaged a hospital in Ashland City, though no one was hurt. Patients had to be transferred to another facility. A pylon carrying power lines collapsed on a home in Ashland City. The storm uprooted trees and downed power lines, knocking out power to thousands, authorities said.

Ironically, authorities were holding emergency response drills in Nashville to prepare in the event several disasters struck simultaneously. Earlier on Friday, volunteers simulated a plague outbreak, a skyscraper collapse and a bomb blast at a popular venue."We were all highly mobilized because of this exercise," Purcell said.

Iran has missiles to carry nuclear warheads By Con Coughlin(Filed: 07/04/2006)

Iran has successfully developed ballistic missiles with the capability to carry nuclear warheads.
Detailed analysis of recent test firings of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile by military experts has concluded that Iran has been able to modify the nose cone to carry a basic nuclear bomb. The discovery will intensify international pressure on Teheran to provide a comprehensive breakdown of its nuclear research programme.

An Iranian Shahab-3 missile on parade in Teheran Last week, the United Nations Security Council gave Iran 30 days to freeze its uranium enrichment programme that many experts believe is part of a clandestine attempt to produce nuclear weapons.

Iran denies it is trying to acquire a nuclear arsenal. But ballistic missile experts advising the United States say it has succeeded in reconfiguring the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear weapons.
The Shahab-3 is a modified version of North Korea's Nodong missile which itself is based on the old Soviet-made Scud.

The Nodong, which Iran secretly acquired from North Korea in the mid-1990s, is designed to carry a conventional warhead. But Iranian engineers have been working for several years to adapt the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear weapons.

"This is a major breakthrough for the Iranians," said a senior US official. "They have been trying to do this for years and now they have succeeded. It is a very disturbing development."
The Shahab 3 has a range of 800 miles, enabling it to hit a wide range of targets throughout the Middle East - including Israel.

Apart from modifying the nose cone, Iranian technicians are also trying to make a number of technical adjustments that will enable the missile to travel a greater distance. Western intelligence officials believe that Iran is receiving assistance from teams of Russian and Chinese experts with experience of developing nuclear weapons. Experts who have studied the latest version of the Shahab have identified modifications to the nose cone.

Instead of the single cone normally attached to this type of missile, the new Shahab has three cones, or a triconic, warhead. A triconic warhead allows the missile to accommodate a nuclear device and this type of warhead is normally found only in nuclear weapons.

According to the new research, the Iranian warhead is designed to carry a spherical nuclear weapon that would be detonated 2,000 feet above the ground, similar to the Hiroshima bomb.
Although US defence officials believe that Iran is several years away from acquiring nuclear weapons, they point out that the warhead could hold a version of the nuclear bomb Pakistan is known to have developed. Iran has acquired a detailed breakdown of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.

The development of the Shahab-3 is just one element of a wide-ranging missile development programme. In 2003 the Iranians concluded another secret deal with North Korea to buy the Taepo Dong 2 missile, which has a range of 2,200 miles and would enable Iran to hit targets in mainland Europe.

Earlier this week the Iranians announced that they had successfully test-fired a new missile, the Fajr-3, which has the capability to evade radar systems and carry multiple warheads.

FIRST DIVINCI NOW JUDAS LIES

First the lies of the Divinci Code that said Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a Child. Now the lies that says Jesus asked Judas to have him killed.

These are doctrines of demons and people believing these lies as the Bible says would happen in the last days before Jesus would return to Earth.

JUDE 14:4-18
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
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.
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.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

2 PETER 3:3-7,12
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2,16
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;(OF JESUS) continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

2 TIMOTHY 4:1-4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Ancient text amends the Jesus-Judas story By John Noble Wilford and Laurie Goodstein
The New York Times FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006

An early Christian manuscript, including the only known text of what is known as the Gospel of Judas, has surfaced after 1,700 years. The text gives new insights into the relationship of Jesus and the disciple who betrayed him, scholars reported Thursday. In this version, Jesus asked Judas, as a close friend, to sell him out to the authorities.Though some theologians have hypothesized this, scholars who have studied the newfound text said, this is the first time an
ancient document defends the idea.

The discovery in the desert of Egypt of the leather-bound papyrus manuscript, and now its translation, was announced by the National Geographic Society at a news conference in Washington. The 26-page Judas text is said to be a copy in Coptic, made around A.D. 300, of the original Gospel of Judas, written in Greek the century before. Terry Garcia, an executive vice president of the geographic society, said the manuscript, or codex, is considered by scholars
and scientists to be the most significant ancient, nonbiblical text to be found in 60 years.

"The codex has been authenticated as a genuine work of ancient Christian apocryphal literature," Garcia said, citing extensive tests of radiocarbon dating, ink analysis and multispectral imaging and studies of the script and linguistic style. The ink, for example, was consistent with ink of that era, and there was no evidence of multiple rewriting."This is absolutely typical of ancient Coptic manuscripts," said Stephen Emmel, professor of Coptic studies at the University of Munster in Germany. "I am completely convinced."The most revealing passages in the Judas manuscript begins, "The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot during a week, three days before he celebrated Passover.

The account goes on to relate that Jesus refers to the other disciples, telling Judas "you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me." By that, scholars familiar with Gnostic thinking said, Jesus meant that by helping him get rid of his physical flesh, Judas will act to liberate the true spiritual self or divine being within Jesus. Unlike the accounts in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the anonymous author of the Gospel of Judas believed that Judas Iscariot alone among the 12 disciples understood the meaning of Jesus's teachings and acceded to his will. In the diversity of early Christian thought, a group known as Gnostics believed in a secret knowledge of how people could escape the prisons of their material bodies and return to the spiritual realm from which they came.

Elaine Pagels, a professor of religion at Princeton who specializes in studies of the Gnostics, said in a statement, "These discoveries are exploding the myth of a monolithic religion, and demonstrating how diverse - and fascinating - the early Christian movement really was."
The Gospel of Judas is only one of many texts discovered in the last 65 years, including the gospels of Thomas, Mary Magdalene and Philip, believed to be written by Gnostics. The Gnostics' beliefs were often viewed by bishops and early church leaders as unorthodox, and they were frequently denounced as heretics. The discoveries of Gnostic texts have shaken up Biblical scholarship by revealing the diversity of beliefs and practices among early followers of Jesus.

As the findings have trickled down to churches and universities, they have produced a new generation of Christians who now regard the Bible not as the literal word of God, but as a product of historical and political forces that determined which texts should be included in the canon, and which edited out. For that reason, the discoveries have proved deeply troubling for many believers. The Gospel of Judas portrays Judas Iscariot not as a betrayer of Jesus, but as his most favored disciple and willing collaborator. Scholars say that they have long been on the lookout for the Gospel of Judas because of a reference to what was probably an early version of it in a text called Against Heresies, written by Irenaeus, the bishop of Lyons, about the year 180.

Irenaeus was a hunter of heretics, and no friend of the Gnostics. He wrote, "They produce a fictitious history of this kind, which they style the Gospel of Judas."Karen King, a professor of the history of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School, and an expert in Gnosticism who has not yet read the manuscript released Thursday, said that the Gospel of Judas may well reflect the kinds of debates that arose in the second and third century among Christians."You can see how early Christians could say, if Jesus's death was all part of God's plan, then Judas's betrayal was part of God's plan," said King, the author of several books on the Gospel of Mary.
"So what does that make Judas? Is he the betrayer, or the facilitator of salvation, the guy who makes the crucifixion possible?"

At least one scholar said the new manuscript does not contain anything dramatic that would change or undermine traditional understanding of the Bible. James Robinson, a retired professor of Coptic studies at Claremont Graduate University, was the general editor of the English
edition of the Nag Hammadi library, a collection of Gnostic documents discovered in Egypt in 1945."Correctly understood, there's nothing undermining about the Gospel of Judas," Robinson said in a telephone interview. He said that the New Testament gospels of John and Mark both contain passages that suggest that Jesus not only picked Judas to betray him, but actually encouraged Judas to hand him over to those he knew would crucify him. Robinson's book, "The Secrets of Judas: The Story of the Misunderstood Disciple and his Lost Gospel," predicted the
contents of the Gospel of Judas based on his knowledge of Gnostic and Coptic texts, even though he was not part of the team of researchers working on the document.

The Egyptian copy of the gospel was written on 13 sheets of papyrus, both front and back, and found in a multitude of brittle fragments. Rudolphe Kasser, a Swiss scholar of Coptic studies, directed the team that reconstructed and translated the script. The effort, organized by the National Geographic, was supported by Maecenas Foundation for Ancient Art, in Basel,
Switzerland, and the Waitt Institute for Historical Discovery, an American nonprofit organization for the application of technology in historical and scientific projects. The entire 66-page codex also contains a text titled James (also known as First Apocalypse of James), a letter by Peter and a text of what scholars are provisionally calling Book of Allogenes. Discovered in the 1970s in a cavern near El Minya, Egypt, the document circulated for years among antiquities dealers in Egypt, then Europe and finally in the United States.

It moldered in a safe-deposit box at a bank in Hicksville, New York, for 16 years before being bought in 2000 by a Zurich dealer, Frieda Nussberger-Tchacos. The manuscript was given the name Codex Tchacos. When attempts to resell the codex failed, Nussberger-Tchacos turned it over to the Maecenas Foundation for conservation and translation. Robinson said that an Egyptian antiquities dealer offered to sell him the document in 1983 for $3 million, but that he could not raise the money. He criticized the scholars now associated with the project, some of whom are his former students, because he said they violated an agreement made years ago by Coptic scholars that new discoveries should be made accessible to all qualified scholars.

The manuscript will ultimately be returned to Egypt, where it was discovered, and housed in the Coptic Museum in Cairo. Ted Waitt, founder and former chief executive of Gateway, said that his foundation, the Waitt Institute for Historical Discovery, gave the National Geographic Society a grant of more than $1 million to restore and preserve the manuscript and make it
available to the public."I didn't know a whole lot until I got into this about the early days of Christianity. It was just extremely fascinating to me," Waitt said. He said he had no motivation other than being fascinated by the finding. He said that after the document was carbon dated
and the ink tested, procedures his foundation paid for, he had no question about its authenticity. "You can potentially question the translation and the interpretation, he said, but you can't fake something like this. It would be impossible."

FOR ISRAEL JOHN HAGEE

New Evangelical Group Could Buck Promised West Bank Pullouts

Pro-Israel group led by leading Evangelist Rev. John Hagee will seek to influence U.S.-Mideast policy. James D. Besser - Washington Correspondent

A newly created Evangelical pro-Israel lobby group could clash head-on with an Israeli government determined to pull out from 90 percent of the West Bank by 2010 and with the Jewish groups that will line up to support it. Leaders of Christians United for Israel, or CUFI, predict their group will be a major force in American politics like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobbying giant that has activists in virtually every congressional district.

And they insist their support for the Jewish state won’t come with any strings, political or theological. But some Jewish leaders are skeptical.“It raises questions,” said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League.In November, Foxman sounded the alarm over Evangelical groups that he said were trying to “Christianize” the nation. But he said he still welcomes Evangelical support for Israel — with some conditions.“Will they be able to differentiate between their biblical prophecy mode and their pragmatic pro-Israel mode?” Foxman asked. “Maybe they will. We’ll have to wait and see.

”Other pro-Israel leaders noted that CUFI officials have adamantly maintained that Israel has a right to all of the territories and opposed last year’s Israeli withdrawal from Gaza — positions that will almost certainly conflict with those of the new Israeli government.“If they oppose the government, it’s an anti-Israel lobby as far as I’m concerned,” said Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism. Rabbi Yoffie cautioned that CUFI, which will gather in Washington in July for its initial meeting — has yet to flesh out its positions. But he warned that “if we’re talking about a group that is going to oppose any territorial flexibility for Israel, we’re talking about a group that opposes the government of Israel and the clear will of its people.

I would consider that dangerous to Israel.”CUFI was created by Pastor John Hagee, founder and spiritual leader of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, which has become one of the nation’s largest mega-churches, claiming more than 18,000 members. His ministry also broadcasts on television and the Internet.Rev. Hagee has raised millions of dollars for Israel, but an official with a San Antonio Jewish group said “he prefers to give his money through the Houston federation because he feels there are many in the San Antonio [Jewish] community who do not trust his intentions.”Last week Rev. Hagee briefed a select group of Jewish leaders in New York under the auspices of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

A participant said “he was asked directly, could his group support further land give-backs? What he said was that there are many ways it could support Israel. The sense I got was that while they won’t support it, they may not oppose it.“At the same time,” the participant continued, “he was very clear that the Bible said God gave the land to the Jewish people, and that they’re not supposed to give it away.”Rev. Hagee emphasized to the Jewish leaders that CUFI would not “support conversionary behavior, it would not allow proselytizing,” this participant said.Asked exactly what a biblical mandate to the land meant, “he did not address the more controversial elements of the question,” the participant said. “He merely said he sees certain passages in the Old Testament as a ‘real estate contract’ with the Jews.

“My sense is that he’s well coached. He’s been told where the hot buttons are and how to avoid them. He’s not going to step on a land mine,” the participant said.“We believe there is a lot of Christian support for Israel out there that hasn't been effectively mobilized on a timely basis in Washington,” said Gary Bauer, the former GOP presidential hopeful and now president of American Values, a conservative group. Bauer is on the CUFI board and is handling its Washington operations. “What we hope is that when an issue comes up, such as no taxpayer money for Hamas, CUFI will be able to get to a lot of different Christian organizations around the country to mobilize them.”He said he expects the group to work closely with AIPAC. “I am in regular contact with them,” he said.An early project of the group will be to organize “honor Israel” nights in churches around the country to “send a strong signal to our friends in Israel and hopefully encourage the Jewish community in the United States.

”Rev. Hagee has been a leading Christian supporter of Israel and in a series of books, a leading interpreter of biblical prophecies about the Christian apocalypse. His publisher says he is “known best nationally for his End-Time writings.”In his most recent, “Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World,” he writes of the Iranian threat to the Jewish state.Muslim countries, he said, “may agree to sign a peace accord, but if they do, it will be one that is good for only seven years, and it will only be for the purpose of redeveloping their army for the destruction of Israel.”When he talks about the need to support Israel, Hagee downplays his prophetic perspective. But on his ministry Web site, he lays out his position: “I believe that the generation that is alive today will see the mass ingathering of believers commonly called the Rapture.”That refers to the belief that Bible-believing Christians will be removed from the earth before a terrible seven-year “tribulation” period that many Evangelicals say will immediately precede the return of Christ.

His 1996 book “The Beginning of the End” was subtitled “The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Coming Antichrist.”In his 1998 book “Final Dawn Over Jerusalem,” he writes, “Christians and Jews, let us stand united and indivisible on this issue: There can be no compromise regarding the city of Jerusalem, not now, not ever. We are racing toward the end of time, and Israel lies in the eye of the storm.”In 2002, Rev. Hagee in a sermon called the coming Iraq war “the gateway to the Apocalypse.”Rev. Hagee, unlike many other prophetic preachers, has avoided publicly detailing what will happen to Israel and to Jews when these events come to pass. But Paul Boyer, a professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin and a leading expert on the religious right, said he is “very much within the camp of fundamentalist biblical prophecy believers.

”Part of that view, Boyer said, “is that Jews will have the right to the biblical land and to rebuild the Temple but also, when the ‘antichrist’ arises, there will be a mass persecution of the Jews, two-thirds of whom will be slaughtered. It will be worse than the Holocaust.”Boyer said Rev. Hagee “focuses entirely on what you might call the brighter side of the story — the right of the Jews to the land — and does not follow up with the darker side.”The prophetic view, he said, insists that “God’s plan must be fulfilled, and any proposals or steps toward compromise on any of these questions — the Jewish right to the land, Jewish control of the Temple Mount — is contrary to God’s plan and must be opposed.”If that becomes part of the CUFI platform, it could put the new lobby group “in a real dilemma,” Boyer said. “You could have a pro-Israel lobby that lobbies against the policies of the Israeli government.

”And that could affect U.S. policy in the region, he said.“Potentially it builds a body of political momentum in America against compromise, against any hope of resolving the conflict short of the total destruction of one side,” Boyer said. “It’s built in to the apocalyptic worldview that sees everything in absolute terms heading to a final confrontation between good and evil.”Even some Jewish leaders who have criticized the Christian right say they are not too worried about sweeping prophetic visions affecting U.S. policy. But several said they will be watching the group closely.Rabbi James Rudin, the former interreligious director of the American Jewish Committee and author of the recent book “The Baptizing of America: The Religious Right’s Plans for the Rest of Us,” said the possibility of the group being guided by apocalyptic prophecy is “a risk, but I don’t think it’s very likely.”

Rabbi Rudin said he welcomes the support of Evangelical Christians such as Rev. Hagee because “we don’t have the luxury, given the extreme situation Israel has always found itself in, of saying we can’t accept their support because of their motives.”Jewish leaders are more worried about the possibility the new lobby will actively work with opponents of the current Israeli government’s policies, especially as it begins the controversial process of leaving most of the West Bank.“My view is, we should respect him and suspect him,” Foxman said. “We certainly do not need a new lobby in Washington that will selectively support the Israeli government’s positions.”Gary Bauer, the CUFI board member, conceded that there could be clashes between the group's core beliefs on issues like Israel's right to all the land and supporting the elected government in Israel.“Pastor Hagee is still wrestling with what is the proper approach,” he said. “We are both very skeptical that (the Olmert plan) will bring peace, and there is widespread agreement that giving up any of Jerusalem would not only be ill-advised from a strategic standpoint but would cause widespread consternation among Israel's Christian friends.”He said he has been “critical of people who sit in the safety of Washington, DC and lecture Israel on what it should or shouldn't do.

But he also disputed whether Israel's recent election was a mandate for withdrawal.“The way I look at the elections, I don't think there is a consensus in Israel that it's the right approach. In such a gigantic thing for an nation like Israel to do that you would want a much larger consensus than there appears to be.”If CUFI does oppose new withdrawals, it could be a big boost for groups like the Zionist Organization of America and Americans for a Safe Israel, which have already announced plans to fight the plan in Congress and the media.

ONE EU ONE WORLD POWER

The European Counterweight : A Leaderless Superpower

With its expansion to 25 member states, the European Union is poised to become a vast federal superstate. As it seeks to be a “counterweight” to U.S. Global interests, will Europe replace America as the world’s leading superpower?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has more people (454.7 million) than the United States—a larger consumer market—more troops (collectively, almost two million armed forces personnel)—and, with more votes on the United Nations Security Council and every other international body, stronger political muscle.
It has a president, a legislative body, a flag, a national anthem, a motto (“Unity in Diversity”), open borders between member states, a constitution (yet to be ratified), a Bill of Rights, and a court system that can overrule the highest of any member court.

It also has an emerging common culture that speaks a common language: English. (ONE SINGLE LANGUAGE, MODERN DAY TOWER OF BABEL).

The decades-old European dream of becoming a kind of “United States of Europe” is becoming a reality. Speaking at the Carnegie Council’s “Books for Breakfast” program, T.R. Reid, bureau chief for The Washington Post and author of the book The United States of Europe: The New Superpower and the End of American Supremacy, observed, “I think it’s fair to say that
Europe is more united today than at any time since the Roman Empire.

Let Europe Arise!”

Within a 75-year span, the European continent was ravaged by three brutal war campaigns: the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), World War I (1914-18) and World War II (1939-45). Together, an estimated 60 to 70 million Europeans were killed. In the aftermath of WWII, the United States became a world-leading superpower, countered by the Soviet Union. As the Iron
Curtain came down on Europe, dividing East from West, war-torn nations on both sides raced to rebuild their armed forces.

Another continental war seemed to loom on the horizon. And so leaders, thinkers, idealists and religionists set out to fulfill a vision: a reorganized Europe free from nationalist strife, military competition and arms races. On September 19, 1946, in Zurich, Switzerland, Winston Churchill gave a speech that addressed the state of Europe and its future. “If Europe were once united in the sharing of its common inheritance,” he said, “there would be no limit to the happiness, to the prosperity and the glory which its three or four hundred million people would enjoy.

…all the while there is a remedy which, if it were generally and spontaneously adopted by the great majority of people in many lands, would as if by a miracle transform the whole scene, and would in a few years make all Europe, or the greater part of it, as free and as happy as Switzerland is today.

What is this sovereign remedy? It is to re-create the European Family, or as much of it as we can, and to provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe.”Churchill proposed that this unified European state be spearheaded by a partnership between France and Germany. Continuing, he said, “The structure of the United States of Europe, if well and truly built, will be such as to make the material strength of a single state less important. Small nations will count as much as large ones and gain their honor by their contribution to the common cause.

we must re-create the European Family in a regional structure called, it may be, the United States of Europe. And the first practical step would be to form a Council of Europe. If at first all the States of Europe are not willing or able to join the Union, we must nevertheless proceed to assemble and combine those who will and those who can. The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny.

In all this urgent work, France and Germany must take the lead together. Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America and I trust Soviet Russia—for then indeed all would be well—must be the friends and sponsors of the new Europe and must champion its right to live and shine.

“Therefore I say to you: let Europe arise!

Churchill’s speech laid the groundwork for today’s European Union—and marked the prophetic path it will take.

From “Military Pygmy” to “Flabby Giant

Before the EU’s expansion to 25 members, the commander of NATO called Europe a “military pygmy.” Since then, the EU’s combined military manpower has grown to almost two million armed forces personnel—more than the United States. Yet the same commander upgraded Europe to being only a “flabby giant,” because its troops are not united into a large, single
military force. There still remains a technological gap between European forces and the U.S. military, especially in transportation, intelligence and modern weapons technology. But the EU would rather spend funds on its burgeoning welfare programs and let the U.S. protect it from external threats.

Indeed, one of the key reasons for forming the EU was to find an alternative to war. Today, European politicians and academics tend to view the use of military force as a relic held over from the era of colonialism and world-spanning empires. In their secular thinking, war is judged as a waste of time and money, and is immoral. Yet this thinking is bound to change as the European Union grows into an economic, political and, potentially, military juggernaut. It already possesses virtually every component necessary to be a counterweight to American supremacy.

Could men, when given access to such power, deny human nature and pass up the opportunity to become the global leader in all arenas? With 25 democratic nations each having a say in EU affairs, the government is too large and unwieldy to govern efficiently and effectively. Only when the member states concentrate on countering U.S. interests are they unified and unanimous. Just as a corporation, school system or church cannot be successfully governed by committee, neither can a government. Someone must be in charge—someone must take responsibility for when things go wrong—someone must captain the ship.

To become a federal superstate with supranational governance, capable of executing decisions with speed and precision, Europe must have a strong leader guiding the way.

Plans are already in the works.

A Future EU Foreign Minister?

To do away with bureaucratic confusion and institutional frictions, and to establish a stronger foreign policy presence, the EU Constitution introduced the creation of a future office: EU Minister for Foreign Affairs. This individual’s role would be to represent the EU’s foreign interests and positions—to allow the 25 member-states of Europe to speak with one voice and act jointly in international affairs.

The future EU foreign minister would also be vice-president of the European Commission, responsible for external relations—development issues, human rights, foreign and security policies, etc.—and chair the Foreign Affairs Council. To assist in carrying out the functions of this office, the EU Constitutional Treaty calls for the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS), which would be an administrative body the foreign minister would preside over, and from which he would appoint EU ambassadors.

Issues have already arisen, such as working out and agreeing to the foreign minister’s powers and duties; deciding if he will have his own independent secretariat, or be part of the Council or the Commission; and determining whether he should be authorized to represent the EU in trade and development policy. Suppose that this new office successfully allows Europe to carry out its foreign policy and interests speedily and effectively. Would EU leaders conclude that a similar office needs to be created—one that would handle Europe’s internal affairs?

A “Club Within a Club”

The EU requires unanimity in deciding key issues. Yet, ever since expanding to its present size—25 nations, all desiring a say in how the government should operate—administration has become unwieldy. For instance, EU members cannot agree as to how Europe should address the economy and high unemployment within member nations. Such division keeps the EU from effectively challenging America’s financial clout, or China’s increasing economic presence.

Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt has offered a bold solution: the creation of an EU core. This “United States of Europe,” a name Mr. Verhofstadt has proposed, would function as a “club within a club” of the EU political machine. Only a small group of member-states bound closely together, he argues, would solve the current administrative logjam.

The model for Mr. Verhofstadt’s proposal already exists: The 12-nation single currency euro zone—Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain. “Twelve countries within the European Union have already handed control over their monetary policy to the European Central Bank. When EU finance ministers meet, the 12 ministers from the euro zone hold talks among themselves before they meet the 13 colleagues whose countries haven’t adopted the euro.

“In that pre-meeting, the most important decisions for the euro zone are made—in the club of the avant-garde. And it’s a model that could conceivable be transferred from finance policy to other areas—with the euro zone core leading the way” (“European Union’s Future: A Club Within a Club,” Der Spiegel). Both Paris and Berlin have shown interest in this proposal.

How Will It All Come Together?

With Europe weighed down by bureaucracy and regulations, and inefficiently governed by committee, dramatic changes in government must take place before the EU can surpass America’s global leadership. Imagine this future scenario: The materialistic morals and values of secular Europe have left a spiritual hunger in the lives of millions, waiting to be satisfied. Conditions are ripe for a charismatic religious leader to fill this spiritual void. Through
awesome miraculous powers—bleeding statues, signs in the sky?—this leader sparks a religious revival throughout the continent; Europe’s spiritual roots are re-awakened.

As was done for centuries in European history, this religious leader, backed by throngs of fervent believers, will use his new-found standing to influence government policy and civil laws. Through him, religion gains a voice in state affairs. He then uses his clout to endorse a popular European statesman who shares his values and vision for Europe—perhaps a “rising star” whom many see as destined for a bright political future. (Could this man’s shrewdness, charm and deft diplomacy become evident with his successful tenure as the EU’s foreign minister?)

The religious leader uses his increasing authority to influence—even pressure—the heads of the “club within a club” to hand over governing powers and authority to his political counterpart. Europe is no longer ruled by committee, but by one man—one voice—one will and purpose.
Does this sound far-fetched? Is it even conceivable that secular Europe would zealously embrace religion and transform itself from democracy to one-man rule?

Before you answer, remember the world before 9/11: Who would have dreamed that a group of terrorists could hijack four U.S. planes, demolish the twin towers of the World Trade Center and destroy a portion of the Pentagon? Who would have imagined that the U.S. and its allies would wage a worldwide war on terrorism, invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and toppling the
government of Saddam Hussein?

This may come as a surprise, but this hard-to-believe scenario was foretold long ago in an ancient book of historic records, poetic writings and religious text. It’s called the Bible. While it continues to be the world’s leading bestseller, the Bible is greatly misunderstood and sorely misinterpreted by hundreds of millions of readers.

Even the overwhelming majority of Christians and their most highly educated religious leaders cannot comprehend its teachings. For instance, very few know or understand that an estimated one-third of the Bible is prophecy, 90% of which pertains to our time—now—and to “the world to come” (Heb. 2:5; 6:5). It speaks of a future leader who, endorsed by a powerful religious
leader, will receive government authority from ten heads of European nations (or groups of nations)—possibly a “club within the club”? (See Revelation 13:1-10.)(REVELATION 17:12-13)(DANIEL 7:23-24)

Europe’s rise to global preeminence will become a reality—and, to worldwide astonishment, the United Kingdom and USA will not be a part of this!

ISRAEL GETS TORNADO

Is this not interesting for believeing the lie of Land for security, Israel will suffer with hail and water (STORMS). As well as the whole world as this scripture says.

ISAIAH 28:15-23
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.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.


Western Galilee farmers demand compensation for tornado damage (HAIL AND WATER)
By Haaretz Service


Western Galilee farmers are demanding compensation from the Agriculture Ministry for the exstensive damage to crops and property caused by Tuesday's storm. The Agriculture Ministry began inspecting the damage and assessing its extent Wednesday. A clean-up operation began after a day of storms, including a tornado, wrought large-scale destruction in the area and left 70 people injured. Three people are still hospitalized. Israel Radio reported that Agriculture Ministry officials and insurance agents visited the western Galilee on Wednesday afternoon to inspect the damage caused by the storms.

Numbers of greenhouses in the area sustained damage in the storms, the radio said, in particular avocado, lychee and summer fruit crops. The village of Julis in the Galilee suffered hundreds of thousands of shekels of damage in Tuesday's strong winds. Homes in the village had broken windows and doors. Electricity poles were also knocked down, but have since been repaired. The head of Julis local council told Israel Radio on Wednesday that not one government office had been in contact to offer assistance in the wake of the storms that affected the homes of dozens of residents.

Officials from the Public Works Department were also out in force Wednesday, inspecting damage to roads. Tuesday's storms were the latest in a week of extreme weather conditions in Israel. On Sunday, heavy rains led to the deaths of five people - two of whom were washed away and three who were killed in a road accident after driving into pooled water. A total of 70 people, including 20 children, were admitted to hospital in Nahariya following the violent weather. Most of the patients suffered light injuries caused by flying objects or road accidents. Two children, aged six and seven, suffered deep cuts.

Meteorologist Nachum Malik said the tornado was an indication of increasingly unpredictable weather in the country. "When this kind of phenomenon occurs over water it is called a water spout, but when it occurs over land it is called a tornado. To use military terminology, this is an escalation in terms of weather and a very rare occurrence in Israel. This is an example of how extreme the weather in Israel has become," he said.

EUROPE GETS FLOODED

Europe flooding death toll rises BBC NEWS

Volunteers have been helping to defend vulnerable towns in HungaryRising floodwaters have continued to cause chaos across central Europe, with more heavy rain expected next week.
The government in Hungary has deployed more than 10,000 troops and police to the worst-hit areas as the river Danube climbed to record levels in Budapest.

In Austria, an 18-month-old boy was found dead on Tuesday as rising water in rivers caused a second dam to break. At least a dozen people have lost their lives in recent floods in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia. In the Hungarian capital, the Danube reached a record 8.48m (26 feet) on Tuesday and was expected to peak at 8.6m (28 feet).

About 25,000 people, half of them volunteers, have struggled to maintain flood defences before the reinforcements were announced. Dresden - devastated by floods in 2002 - has also been affected. The BBC's Nick Thorpe in Budapest says most fears now focus on rain forecast for later in the week. Eight cities in Germany were affected by floods on Tuesday, with a total of 1,300 people evacuated.

Floodwaters also continued to threaten residents in Czech towns in the north and south-east of the country, preventing thousands of people from returning to their homes. Authorities warned on Tuesday that floods in the Czech Republic would last for at least another week, as more snow was expected to melt in the mountains. In Slovakia, the situation appeared to have stabilised with river levels falling across the country.

ISRAEL HATED IN LAST DAYS

One of the SIGNS of the last days is that Israel will be hated, just like all these colleges around the world are doing, coming against ISRAEL. In fact 85% of all colleges are against Israel .......... BOOOOOO. But they will pay though.....!!!!!!!!???????

Matthew 24:9-13
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity (SIN) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Anti-Israel bias at colleges scrutinized By Mary Beth Marklein, USA TODAY
Tue Apr 4, 7:08 AM ET

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, responding to allegations that an anti-Israel bias is rampant on college campuses, approved recommendations Monday aimed at ensuring that Jewish college students are protected from anti-Semitic harassment.

The recommendations grew out of a November hearing at which speakers cited examples of anti-Semitic incidents. One frequently cited involved a 2004 documentary that said Middle East Studies faculty at Columbia University were intimidating Jewish students who defended Israel.

(A faculty committee investigated and found no evidence of anti-Semitism.) Last September, a non-profit group called "StandWithUs" showed a 45-minute documentary depicting examples of anti-Israel speakers on campuses.

The commission, an independent, bipartisan federal agency that does not have enforcement powers, also urged university leaders to "set a moral example by denouncing anti-Semitic and other hate speech," and to ensure that Middle East studies departments protect the rights of all students. It recommended Monday that the Department of Education "vigorously" enforce the federal law that bars discrimination based on "race, color or national origin," and that Congress clarify that "national origin" can refer to Jewish heritage.

"We should inform students of their right" to file a complaint if they believe they have been harassed, commissioner Jennifer Braceras said. Students at the University of California at Irvine, including two who said they were assaulted because they were Jewish, filed a
complaint in 2004 with the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights. That case is still open.

Now, "you'll see a number of suits filed," says Gary Tobin of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research in San Francisco. Vanessa Zuabi, 21, a UC-Irvine senior and former vice president of the school's Society of Arab Students, says the issue is complex. For example, she says, a structure built two years ago by her group was burned down. "Controversy has gone in all directions."

FRANCE SECRETLY TALKS TO HAMAS

First we have Iran and Russia talking to Hamas, Now India, Japan and China will recognize Hamas. Isn't this Intersting that in the Future the 1ST wave in WW3 is Russia and the muslim Countries. And the 2ND wave is China and the Kings of the east as well as the 15% left from the Russia , Muslim defeat.

I would say all the countries from Ezekiel 38-39 are all lining up, and the EU is talking privately to Hamas setting that up for the domination of the EU in the MIDEAST. For they SIGN the future 7 year treaty with Israel and many.

LEADERS IN THE LAST DAYS

NORTH - RUSSIA
SOUTH - EGYPT
EAST - CHINA
WEST - THE EUROPEAN UNION ( NOT THE U.S.A)

DANIEL 11:40-45
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south (EGYPT) push at him:(EU LEADER IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIMS) shall come against him (EU LEADER IN ISRAEL) like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land,(ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM) and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east (CHINA) and out of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT OF THEIR ARMY 15%) shall trouble him:(EU LEADER PROTECTING ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain (JERUSALEM ) yet he (EU LEADER) shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Hamas confirms talks, France denies By JPOST.COM STAFF

A Hamas official confirmed on Monday that France held secret talks with its representatives on behalf of the European Union, a break in the policy of isolating the new Palestinian government.
The Palestinian source further claimed that France was attempting to improve relations between the European Community and the group that Israel had urged countries to reject.

French Ambassador to Israel Gerard Araud previously refuted the allegations made in a report submitted to officials in Jerusalem, Army Radio reported. Israel also suspected that other countries including India, Japan and China would soon publicly recognize the Hamas-led
government.


According to the report, despite the refusal of the US and Israel to negotiate with the Palestinians, the European Union, Russia and India were already holding secret or open talks with Hamas officials. The Foreign Ministry announced that it planned clarification talks with France and all other countries who allegedly engaged in discussions with the Hamas-led government.

Reportedly, the EU talks have been sponsored by France, while India has already held official meetings with senior Hamas officials and Russia held consultations with the organization even prior to the Palestinian parliamentary elections, publicizing the talks after Hamas' landslide victory.

Japan and China also expressed willingness to publicly recognize the Hamas government. Israel was concerned that these countries and many others would follow Russia's lead and hold official meetings with the movement.

The United States has remained a staunch supporter of the policy of isolating Hamas. It has not backed down from its policy of shunning the new Hamas-led Palestinian government and has not made any attempts to pressure Israel into negotiating with the organization.

TORNADOES HAIL IN MIDWEST USA

You dont think Prophecies are coming to pass bigtime. TORNADOES, HAIL (5 INCH) Kill and destroy the midwest U.S.A.

There were 349 TORNADOES in the states from Jan 1 to Mar 31. Three times last years end of march totals and five times the Average. You tell me if the sea and waves are roaring or not.

And Genesis 6:13 says the Earth would be destroyed with the Earth.

GENESIS 6:11:13
11 The earth (WORLDWIDE) also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(TERRORISM)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

REVELATION 16:21
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent:(80-120LBS) and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Thunderstorms and tornadoes kill at least 27 in South, Midwest
KRISTIN HALL 46 minutes ago

NEWBERN, Tenn. (AP) - Tornadoes shredded homes to their foundations, hail tore holes in the rooftops and high winds toppled even freight cars as a line of violent storms cut zigzagging paths of destruction that killed at least 27 people across America's midsection.

The worst damage from Sunday night's storms occurred along a 40-kilometre swath of rural western Tennessee, where 23 of the deaths occurred and state troopers using dogs searched for more victims amid the rubble of brick buildings and toppled trailers."Most of the houses, you can't count. They're just gone," said Roy Childress, who was part of a church relief crew that was delivering food and water to survivors Monday.

The dead included an infant and the grandparents who had been babysitting him. A young couple and their two sons, ages 5 and 3, were also killed, their bodies found some 800 metres from their house."It basically took my life away. I don't really care if I see daylight tomorrow," said Larry Taylor, the boys' grandfather and the only funeral director in rural Bradford. He was planning to bury the family in two separate caskets, with each child alongside one of his parents.

"I'd give everything I had for that not to have happened,' he said through tears. "Those little boys were my life."Severe storms also struck parts of Iowa, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Strong winds were blamed for at least three deaths in Missouri. A clothing store collapsed in southern Illinois, killing one man.

In Arkansas, Logan Hawley tried to escape by driving with a group of other people to a tornado shelter."We couldn't see anything," Hawley said. "It was just brown in front of us." The car crashed at an intersection, so the six people inside had no choice but to sit terrified as the tornado passed."I just closed by eyes and hoped it was a dream," he said.

The brunt of the storms, some packing softball-sized hail, blasted an area between the small town of Newbern, 130 kilometres northeast of Memphis, to Bradford. Twenty-three people were killed, including an infant and the grandparents who had been babysitting him. A family of four was also killed. Gov. Phil Bredesen said more than 1,000 buildings were seriously damaged or destroyed and about 75 people injured, 17 of them critically.

He asked President George W. Bush to declare Dyer and Gibson counties federal disaster areas.
"Our first priority is helping those impacted to get back on their feet quickly and to bring back a sense of normalcy at a time when they need it most," said Bredesen, who planned to visit the area Tuesday.

The Tennessee Valley Authority estimated that more than 18,000 customers in Tennessee and Kentucky were without power Monday. The storms developed after a cold front approaching from the West slammed into a mass of warm, humid air, said Memphis meteorologist Jody Aaron. A tornado in Dyer County apparently had winds of up to 330 kilometres an hour.

The weather service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said it had preliminary reports of 63 tornadoes. About a half-dozen tornadoes struck Arkansas and one destroyed nearly half the town of Marmaduke, according to a local official. Authorities cordoned off the town after a gas line ruptured, and three people remained unaccounted for Monday.

About 50 kilometres from Newbern, a tornado caused extensive damage to the southeast Missouri city of Caruthersville, although Mayor Diane Sayre said there were no known deaths in the city of 6,700. In southern Illinois, a man died when a clothing store collapsed in the St. Louis suburb of Fairview Heights. An off-duty police officer survived for nearly an hour in the store's debris before he was pulled to safety.

In downtown Indianapolis, tornado-force winds shattered dozens of windows in an high-rise office building. The storm hit just after thousands of people had left a free outdoor concert by John Mellencamp held as part of the NCAA men's Final Four basketball tournament.

NEW ZEALAND QUAKE

Earthquake strikes New Zealand; no wounded By JPOST.COM STAFF

An earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale struck not far from New Zealand's capital Wellington early Monday. No damage was reported. The epicenter of the quake was 60 kilometers underground and some five kilometers from the capital.

Flash floods claim lives of 5 people By ELANA BROWNSTEIN AND YIGAL GRAYEFF
The Jerusalem Post

Five people were killed and many others left injured Sunday when heavy rain caused flash-flooding throughout the country. Umm al-Fahm resident, Samir Mahmid, 23, was found dead by rescue workers Sunday afternoon, after torrential rains and flash flooding washed away her car on Highway 65 in the Wadi Ara area near Wadi Mei-Ami.

Mahmid's husband, who was traveling with her in the car, was rescued from the vehicle by a nearby IDF soldier, police said. Dozens of other cars were trapped in the Wadi Ara area, where up to two meters of rain was reported. Highway 65 was closed to traffic in both directions as crews worked to rescue trapped motorists.

A head on collision on Highway 90 in the Jordan Valley, between Tomer and Gilgal, left three people dead and two seriously wounded when flood conditions caused a driver to lose control of his vehicle sending him into oncoming traffic, police said. The wounded were transported by army helicopter to Haddasah Har Hatzofim Hospital in Jerusalem.

A Palestinian man, Iyad Taha, 26, from the West Bank village of Beit Anan was found dead after rains swept away his car in close proximity of the security fence near the village of Bili'in.
Three people were rescued from the Northern town of Musmus after their home was destroyed in addition to two elderly residents of Musmus who were rescued and transported to the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.

Many other homes were damaged as a result of the flooding. Another couple who was trapped in their vehicle near the Megiddo junction was rescued, as well as six people who were trapped in a restaurant near the Megiddo junction. Two policewomen were also rescued from flooding near the Megiddo junction. Several homes were flooded in Hod Hasharon due to heavy rains on Saturday night. In Ra'anana, a 37-year-old woman gave birth in a Magen David Adom ambulance which was stuck in one of the country's main traffic jams caused by the rain.

In one of Israel's rainiest days this year, more than 112 millimeters of rain fell in Jerusalem, 67 millimeters in Tel Aviv, 21 millimeters in Haifa and 17 millimeters in Beersheba. The Kinneret water level rose 1.5 centimeters over the past 24 hours.

Severe storms, possible tornadoes leave at least eight dead in west Tennessee 50 minutes ago

DYERSBURG, Tenn. (AP) - At least eight people in west Tennessee were killed as severe storms and possible tornadoes swept across the state, emergency officials said. Local emergency officials reported the eight deaths in Dyer County, and they were concerned the number of fatalities could rise, said Kurt Pickering, spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. Details on the deaths weren't immediately available. The Jackson Sun newspaper reported another fatality in neighbouring Gibson County.

The National Weather Service National Weather Service reported that tornadoes were spotted in five counties in Tennessee's northwest corner, and officials said the storms caused extensive damage to buildings.

IRAN TESTFIRES MISSLE

We see in Ezekiel 38 that Iran will come against Israel in the future. So these missles tests are just the beggining of trouble in the Mideast.

Ezikiel 38:1-9
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Here we see RUSSIA the leader of this future muslim horde going to Israel to destroy them. And notice in verse 5 we see Persia (IRAN) in that horde. As well as other muslim nations. RUSSIA the leader, IRAN, IRAQ, ETHIOPIA, LIBYA, GERMANY, TURKEY, SUDAN AND PARTS OF AFRICA.

Why would these Muslim want Israel destroyed? Well in Psalms we see what Iran and the Muslims are calling for.

Psalms 83:3-5
3 They (ARAB NATIONS) have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Russia is supplying all these Muslim countries with weapons against Israel, the whole world is decieved into thinking Russia is a peaceful democracy and now we see Russia gave Iraq warning of the 2003 war before the states attacked.

Its all a Deception Russia will be the leader of the Muslims when they march to Israel in the future. And Egypt will be the leader of the muslim countries until then.

Iran says missile it fired can reach Israel

Invisible to radar, too: Israel and the United States warn that it's a sign of a country with aggressive plans The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's military said Friday it successfully test fired a missile not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously, a development that raised concerns in the United States and Israel. The Fajr-3, which means ''victory'' in Farsi, can reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East, Iranian state media indicated.

The announcement of the test firing is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's military intentions and nuclear ambitions. I think it demonstrates that Iran has a very active and aggressive military program under way,'' State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said in Washington. ''I think Iran's military posture, military development effort, is of concern to the international community.

Gen. Hossein Salami, the air force chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, did not specify the missile's range but said how far it can travel depends on the weight of its warheads. But state-run television described the weapon as ''ballistic'' - suggesting it is of comparable range to Iran's existing ballistic rocket, which can travel about 1,200 miles and reach arch-foe Israel and U.S. bases in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region. 'Today, a remarkable goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran's defense forces was realized with the successful test firing of a new missile with greater technical and tactical capabilities than those previously produced,'' Salami said on television.

A brief clip of the missile's launch was shown. 'It can avoid anti-missile missiles and strike the target,'' said Salami. He said the missile would carry a multiple warhead, and each warhead would be capable of hitting its target precisely. This news causes much concern, and that concern is shared by many countries in the international community, about Iran's aggressive nuclear weapons program and her parallel efforts to develop delivery systems, both in the field of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles,'' said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev.

The combination of extremist jihadist ideology, together with nuclear weapons and delivery systems, is a combination that no one in the international community can be complacent about,'' he said. Yossi Alpher, an Israeli consultant on the Mideast peace process, said the news ''escalates the arms race between Iran and all those who are concerned about Iran's aggressive
intentions and nuclear potential. Clearly it's escalation, and also an attempt by Iran to flex its muscles as it goes into a new phase of the diplomatic struggle with the U.N. Security Council.

Andy Oppenheimer, a weapons expert at Jane's Information Group, said the missile test could be an indication that Iran has MIRV capability, which are intercontinental ballistic missiles with several warheads, each of which could be directed to a different target. From the description, it could be a MIRV. If you are saying that from a single missile, separate warheads can
be independently targeted then yes, this is significant,'' he said. If the missile is adaptable for nuclear warheads, then they are well on the way,'' he added. ''But they have not made a nuclear
warhead yet.

The current estimates are it could take five years. Iran's existing ballistic rocket is called Shahab-3, which means ''shooting star.'' It is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Israel and the United States have jointly developed the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system in response to the Shahab-3.

INDONESIA QUAKE

Interesting last 3 days since the Israeli elections, like I said prophecy is on the fast track now.

Bahran ship sinks kills at least 62 people. Australia gets 2nd cyclone hit and in the states as many as 20 Tornadoes hit causing fires to run rampant from the winds. The Quake in Iran yesterday and now this Quake in Indonesia.

Quake hits eastern Indonesia 2 hours, 53 minutes ago JAKARTA

(Reuters) - An earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale struck off the eastern Indonesian island of Talaud early on Saturday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, an Indonesian official said.

The quake's epicenter was in the sea 42 km (26 miles) west of Talaud and at a depth of 33 km, staff official Lukito of the Jakarta earthquake center told Reuters.

Talaud is between Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's major islands, and Mindanao in the Philippines, and lies around 2,250 km northeast of Jakarta.

"We have confirmed the situation with the police officer at Talaud and he said there were no reports of damage and casualties," Lukito said.

An official at the earthquake office in Sulawesi's Manado, the nearest major city, also said there were no reports of victims or damage so far.

Indonesia's vast archipelago runs along part of an area of intense volcanic and earthquake activity known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire.

2ND CYCLONE TO HIT AUSTRALIA

Once again for the 2nd time in 10 days a cyclone is bombarding Austrailia. The sea and the waves are definately roaring over in Australia.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity (MASS CONFUSION); the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

High winds lash western Australia as cyclone nears Thu Mar 30, 1:56 AM ET

PERTH, Australia (Reuters) - Hundreds of people were evacuated and thousands more prepared to ride out a severe cyclone bearing down on the northwest Australian coast on Thursday, carrying winds of up to 155 mph. Gale-force winds of at least 62 mph were lashing the coast as tropical Cyclone Glenda approached, emergency officials said. The cyclone had already shut oil and gas fields and disrupted iron ore shipments.

It was expected to roar ashore within hours between the iron ore and tourism town of Karratha, about 950 miles north of Perth, and nearby Onslow in the sparsely populated and ruggedly beautiful Pilbara region of Western Australia state. About 500 people had already been evacuated from Karratha but Glenda was now too close for any more to safely leave their
homes, local officials said.

"Most people are staying in their own homes. There have been some evacuations that were done last night," Roeburn regional council president Danielle Nazzari told Sky Television.
The Pilbara region, which has been put on red alert, is home to more than 12,000 people and includes Woodside Petroleum's A$14 billion ($10 billion) North West Shelf liquefied natural gas project at Karratha.

Glenda is a category four storm, one below the most powerful grade, and is moving slowly through an area known as "cyclone alley" which is regularly swept by storms at this time of year. Emergency workers feared it could be as destructive as Cyclone Larry, which destroyed homes and crops on Australia's northeastern coast 10 days ago, or Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the U.S. city of New Orleans last August.

"This does have the potential to do what happened in the eastern states and what happened in America," State Emergency Services official Steve Cable told Australian television."Everything is saturated, water is lying everywhere. Flooding is going to be a real problem," he said.
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology also warned of dangerous flooding from abnormally high tides and damaging waves in a region already awash from five previous cyclones this season.
"Residents between Karratha and Onslow are specifically warned of the potential of a very dangerous storm tide as the cyclone crosses the coast," the bureau said in its latest cyclone warning update (www.bom.gov.au).

Local television showed residents battening down as the cyclone approached, fastening steel grilles over their windows or tying caravans down with thumb-thick wire cables as rain and strong winds whipped through Karratha and nearby towns."If it hits with full impact I do not expect to come back to anything. I may not even come back and look for it," one unidentified
resident said. Woodside on Tuesday suspended production at its 100,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Cossack oilfield in the Indian Ocean, while oil and gas producer Santos Ltd. has shut its 40,000 bpd Mutineer-Exeter oil field.

BHP Billiton's 10,600 bpd Griffin oil field has been closed since Saturday, after it was threatened by a smaller storm. BHP Billiton and fellow mining giant Rio Tinto both have operations in the Pilbara, which has large deposits of iron ore. Rio said its port operations at Dampier and Cape Lambert had shut and ships had put to sea. BHP said it had also closed its port operations at nearby Port Hedland.

Rio said on Tuesday bad weather meant the company would fall 5 million tons short of its first-quarter iron ore output target. It still expected 2006 output to rise 14 percent on last year's 158 million tons.
