Hurricane John menaces Mexican resorts By Karina Tejada
Wed Aug 30, 3:34 PM ET
ACAPULCO, Mexico (Reuters) - Hurricane John grew into a dangerous Category 4 storm just off Mexico's Pacific coast on Wednesday, threatening beach resorts with heavy rain and searing winds and blowing down trees in Acapulco. Home to some 1 million people, Acapulco had sea surges of up to 10 feet. Emergency workers were on alert for mudslides and flash floods as John trekked along the coast, packing winds of 135 mph (215 kph), with higher gusts.The Miami-based National Hurricane Center upgraded John to Category 4, the second-strongest hurricane grade and capable of extensive damage if it hits the coast directly.
It said John had drifted slightly closer to the coast and could gain even more punch over the next 24 hours.Emergency workers were most immediately worried about Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo and Manzanillo, which are popular with U.S. and Canadian sailfish fishermen.
Nadya Velas of the civil protection agency in Guerrero state, said there were no plans to evacuate tourists or residents for the moment.But we are ready for any scenario.On its current track, John could slam directly into the plush beach and golf resort of Los Cabos on the tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula later this week.We're watching it real closely. Everyone's taking it very seriously,said Minerva Saenz, who charters boats out to tourists in Los Cabos for deep sea fishing trips.Although there has been no major damage so far, hotels warned guests of the possible dangers.
REFUGEES
If a hurricane comes, they are no longer guests, they are refugees,said Jean Louis Magron, the resident manager of the Dreams Los Cabos Suites, a big hotel on the beach.Last October, Hurricane Wilma smashed up Cancun and other beach resorts on Mexico's Caribbean coast, causing massive damage, sucking away large stretches of beach and stranding tens of thousands of tourists in makeshift shelters for several days.A hurricane warning was in effect on Wednesday from the steel-making port of Lazaro Cardenas to Cabo Corrientes, further northwest.While the center of John is forecast to remain just offshore, hurricane force winds are still expected to reach the coast within the warning area,the National Hurricane Center said.John was moving slowly northwest parallel to the coast on Wednesday afternoon, about 70 miles southwest of Lazaro Cardenas.
Category 4 hurricanes can destroy mobile homes, deal major damage to lower floors of structures close to the shore. Land lower than 10 feet above sea level may be flooded and require massive evacuations.Rainfall of 4 to 8 inches, with isolated deluges of 12 inches, was possible along the coast in the warning areas.The U.S. hurricane center warned that rain could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides over areas of mountainous terrain. The storm formed on Monday and became a Category 1 hurricane early on Tuesday before being upgraded two notches inside a few hours. (Additional reporting by Chris Aspin and Gunther Hamm)
Feeble Ernesto headed for Carolinas By Jim Loney
1 hour, 8 minutes ago
MIAMI (Reuters) - Ernesto plodded across Florida on Wednesday, soaking a state relieved that the once-menacing cyclone had fizzled a year after destructive Hurricane Katrina. With its winds flagging as it limped northward over the Florida peninsula, the U.S. National Hurricane Center stripped Ernesto of tropical-storm status and downgraded it to a tropical depression.Ernesto, the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season's fifth storm, could regain some strength when it moves off northeast Florida into the Atlantic Ocean.
Forecasters expected it to curve back into land along the South Carolina coast on Thursday.A tropical storm warning was in effect from central Florida to Cape Lookout, North Carolina, but a hurricane watch for coastal areas of the Carolinas was lifted as the storm appeared incapable of regaining the 74 mph (119 kph) winds needed for hurricane status.At 5 p.m. (2100 GMT), Ernesto's sustained winds were about 35 mph (56 kph), the hurricane center said. The center of the system was still over Florida, about 55 miles south-southwest of Cape Canaveral.
Ernesto has the potential to regain tropical storm strength on Thursday over the Atlantic,the hurricane center said.North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley activated 150 National Guard soldiers and said two rescue helicopters were standing by in case of flooding.
Neighboring South Carolina activated 240 National Guard troops on Tuesday.One of the greatest dangers will be flooded roads, Easley said.Do not drive in flood waters. Most deaths from flooding occur in automobiles.
FAR CRY FROM KATRINA
There appeared to be little cleanup needed in Florida. Tourists were allowed to return to the Florida Keys on Wednesday and state parks were reopened.Florida Power & Light, the state's largest electric company, said it had 7,500 customers without power and had restored service to 10,000 others. Schools across the region were set to reopen on Thursday.It was a far cry from encounters with hurricanes Wilma and Katrina last year. Wilma knocked out power to more than 90 percent of south Florida residents in October and caused $12 billion in damage.Katrina caused more than $500 million in insured losses in Florida before slamming into the Gulf coast on August 29, where it killed about 1,500 people, swamped New Orleans and caused $80 billion in damage.Ernesto's weakened state as it hit Florida was a puzzle to forecasters, who had predicted it could become a hurricane over the warm waters of the Florida Straits after bashing Cuba.
Despite sophisticated computers, storm-tracking aircraft, satellites and radar, forecasting the intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes lags 10 or 15 years behind forecasting a storm's future track, National Hurricane Center director Max Mayfield said.
The intensity forecast is almost like putting a million-piece jigsaw puzzle together and some of those pieces to the puzzle don't have any color on them and some of those pieces are missing, he said. It's very, very difficult.Before hitting Cuba and Florida, Ernesto lashed Haiti, where officials blamed it for two deaths.

Chavez vows solidarity with Syria against U.S., Israel By Khaled Yacoub Oweis Wed Aug 30, 12:32 PM ET
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez pledged solidarity on Wednesday with Syria in its struggle against Israel and the United States and predicted the demise of U.S. imperialism. Chavez, a harsh critic of U.S. foreign policy, also said he would seek a front-row seat if President George W. Bush accepted an invitation from Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a televised debate, adding he would be cheering on the Iranian president.Syria and Venezuela share the same firm positions and a resistance to imperialism and imperialist aggression,Chavez told a news conference after talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, speaking in Spanish through an Arab interpreter.This age will witness the end of American imperialism,he said, pointing a laser pen at a map of the world showing countries where Washington has intervened militarily or whose governments it has helped to topple over the last 50 years.
Chavez denounced what he called Israel's Nazi crimes in Lebanon during the recent war and said the Jewish state should pull its remaining troops out of that country and also out of the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in 1967.Nothing equals the Nazi crimes Israel has committed in Lebanon and against the Palestinians, said Chavez, who arrived in Syria on Tuesday evening from Malaysia.Chavez's popularity shot up across the Arab world after he ordered Venezuela's envoy to Israel home earlier this month to protest Israel's military offensive against Hizbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. Many civilians died in the fighting.He has threatened to break off diplomatic ties with Israel.
FIGHTING IMPERIALISM
Commenting on Iranian President Ahmadinejad's challenge to Bush on Tuesday to discuss the world's problems in a televised debate, Chavez said: I wish I could be sitting at the front row and watch Ahmadinejad deal Bush a knock-out blow.The White House has called the proposal a diversion.The U.N. Security Council has given Iran until Thursday to suspend its uranium enrichment program or possibly face sanctions.Ahmadinejad has shocked the West with his calls for Israel to be wiped off the map. He and Chavez established a warm rapport when the Venezuelan leader visited Tehran last month.Chavez, a robust ex-paratrooper, has courted other anti-U.S. leaders from Belarus to Cuba in recent months as he tries to build a broad global coalition against imperialism.After Chavez's talks on Wednesday with Assad at a hilltop palace overlooking both Damascus and the Golan Heights, the two countries signed a raft of deals on cooperation in sectors ranging from agriculture to oil.The United States imposed sanctions on Syria in 2004 for allegedly backing terrorism. Damascus shrugged off calls by Washington, Israel's chief ally, to pressure Hizbollah to accept Israel's demands during the recent war.
Israel First in Multiple Births; Moslem Births - Down
By Hillel Fendel(INN)
The Central Bureau of Statistics has found that some 100,000 Jewish babies were born in Israel in 2005, maintaining a steady rate, while some 34,000 Moslems were born - a drop of some 5.6%.
Other findings:
Israel is in first place in the world in multiple-baby births, largely because of the high rate of fertility treatments in the country. In 2003, 5% of all Jewish babies were born in multiple-baby births, compared with only 3.4% of Moslems. The number of such babies born in Israel has risen 29% over the past decade.
Moslem Births - Down
Of the 143,913 babies born in Israel in 2005, 70% were born to Jewish mothers, 24% - Moslem, 2% - Druze, and 1% - Christian Arab. The nearly 1% drop in births from the previous year was largly due to the 5.6% drop in Moslem births. After remaining at a
steady 4.6 or 4.7 births per Moslem woman for some 15 years, this rate has dropped sharply over the past five years to 4. The Jewish sector has remained steady for more than a decade at around 2.6-2.7 births per woman. The number of Druze births has dropped over the past 15 years from an average of 4.1 babies per woman to 2.6. The number of Christian births dropped from 2.7 per woman in 1996 to 2.2 last year.
Single Mothers
Among the Jewish births, 5.5%, or 5,498, were born to single mothers. In 2004, there were 6.6 births for every 1,000 single women, up from 3.6 fifteen years ago.
More Boys
For every 200 baby girls born in 2005, 211 male babies were born.
Young Mothers
In the past decade, the fertility of mothers under the age of 20 dropped by 19%, to a total of just over 4,100 births.In the past decade, the average age in Israel of a mother at her first birth rose by 17 months, to 26.6 years old.

EU suffering from 'general fatigue', says France
30.08.2006 - 09:54 CET | By Honor Mahony(EU OBSERVER)
France's Europe minister has given a strongly pessimistic view of the state of the European Union suggesting it is suffering from general fatigue.Speaking at the annual gathering of French ambassadors on Tuesday (29 August), Catherine Colonna said the functioning of the union – and more generally the state of the union – appears worrying to me.It is not that there is a crisis, that is not the case, the European Union is rather suffering from a sort of illness of apathy, from general fatigue.
She went on to say that this does not augur well for its future capacity to respond to the needs of its people.Nobody can understand why the Europeans are unable to help one another in an organised fashion in fighting forest fires or in coordinating the evacuations of their nationals from Lebanon,she pointed out.Ms Colonna, who used to be president Jacques Chirac's spokesperson, suggested three reasons for Europe's current situation.
Enlargement and globalisation
The first is the bloc's enlargement to take on countries from central and eastern Europe which has profoundly changed…the nature of the European project.She said that member states are happy to continue to pretend that the same European project is being pursued but just with more countries.Ms Colonna also highlighted globalisation – being a destabilising element for the classic European model – as another reason and a change in what is expected from the EU as the third reason.
There is practically no problem that arises that does not result in people turning towards Europe to see what it can do to resolve it,said the minister adding that the EU is not ready to respond.Can the European Union carry on at this pace for long? Can Europe even take crucial decisions any more,she asked before concluding: We need a more fundamental start, if we are to avoid the risk of the European Union
collapsing.Ms Colonna's warning comes just a day after president Chirac criticised Europe's foreign policy saying that it failed when it came to its response to Lebanon.The future of the European project is today predicated on Europe's ability to be a leading political player, the president told the same audience of ambassadors.
France's role in the EU
Their words also reflect a greater unease and lack of satisfaction with France's overall role in Europe.A founding member of the EU, it has been perplexed by the addition of the economically liberal new member states making it have to fight to preserve the French social model.It has also seen a decline in its overall influence as the EU expanded and a reduction in the use of the French language - which is strongly tied to the perception of the country's status.French voters last year also rejected the European Constitution, with fears about jobs and job security - embodied in an EU law on opening up the services market - seen as a large contributing factor to the vote.
HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER
JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
US housing slump fuels crash fears
Foundering American property market could spark global slowdown worse than dotcom collapse Heather Stewart, economics correspondent,Sunday August 27, 2006,The Observer
The downturn in the US housing market will force businesses to slash 73,000 jobs a month in the new year and could be more damaging to the world economy than the dotcom crash, economists have warned.After official figures last week showed that the number of new homes sold in July was 22 per cent lower than a year earlier, while prices were almost flat, fears are mounting that the 'orderly' housing slowdown predicted by the Federal Reserve will become a full-blown crash.Things do seem to be getting worse very quickly. Freefall is a strong word, but I think it's the right one to use here,' said Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital
Economics.House prices have been rising at unprecedented double-digit rates in recent years, giving homeowners massive windfalls and supporting a wave of investment in new construction. However, the number of unsold new homes is now at a 10-year high.
Ashworth reckons 30 per cent of all the jobs created since the end of the last recession in 2001 - 1.4 million - have been in sectors related to the housing market boom, from construction to DIY stores. As the boom runs out of steam, Capital calculates that 73,000 jobs a month will be lost.The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged for the first time in 18 meetings earlier this month, as chairman Ben Bernanke weighed the risks of high inflation and the threat to growth from the long-expected housing market crunch.
Stephen Roach, chief economist at Morgan Stanley, predicts that the property slowdown will shave at least 2 percentage points off GDP growth next year, taking the US perilously close to recession, as construction spending plummets and homeowners lose the cushion of extra wealth that comes from rapid price rises.For a wealth-dependent US economy, the bursting of another major asset bubble is likely to be a very big deal,he said, warning that, with US fiscal and trade imbalances now larger than five years ago, the fallout for the rest of the world could be more devastating than the aftermath of the dotcom boom. A bursting of the property bubble
poses equally serious risks for America's key trading partners and for the rest of an increasingly integrated global economy,he added.
Anxieties about the fragile US housing sector come as analysts in the UK debate whether this month's rise in interest rates will dent prices here. Property website Hometrack will warn tomorrow that the so-called mini-boom that has buoyed the market in London over the past few months will be snuffed out by higher mortgage costs.Fionnuala Earley, group economist at Nationwide, said she believed the market could ride out the rate hike, but expects it to slow going into the new year. There are supportive factors: buy-to-let figures are strong, and immigration suggests there's going to be tenant demand, and there are property supply constraints,she said. 'But if the MPC's raising rates, it's a warning shot, and people are going to think again about whether they should move and whether they should stretch themselves.

24 Seventy weeks (70x7=490 YRS) are determined upon thy people(ISRAELIS) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
IN DANIEL 25-26 ITS DANIELS 69 (69X7=483 YRS) WEEKS PREDICTION AND IN 26 IT SAYS THE ROMANS WOULD SIGN THE FINAL 70TH WEEK OF DANIELS FULFILLMENT TO END THE VISION AND PROPHECY.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
OH OH LUKEWARM LIBERALS CHURCHES IN ISRAEL THROW OUT CHRISTIANITY AS RADICAL MILITARISTS. HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR THESE LUKEWARMERS WHEN JUDGEMENT COMES IN THE FUTURE BIG TIME AND THEY WILL BE CRYING TO JESUS TO STOP THE JUDGEMENTS THAT ARE COMING UPON THEM.
IT WILL BE LUKEWARMERS LIKE THIS THAT HELP DIVIDE JERUSALEM AND CAUSE WW3 TO OCCUR BECAUSE THE GOD OF ISRAEL (KING JESUS) IS SO MAD THAT HIS JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED.
THE JERUSALEM DECLARATION ON CHRISTIAN ZIONISM - Statement by the Patriarch and Local Heads of Churches In Jerusalem
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.(Matthew 5:9)
Christian Zionism is a modern theological and political movement that embraces the most extreme ideological positions of Zionism, thereby becoming detrimental to a just peace within Palestine and Israel. The Christian Zionist programme provides a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism. In its extreme form, it laces an emphasis on apocalyptic events leading to the end of history rather than living Christ's love and justice today. We categorically reject Christian Zionist doctrines as false teaching that corrupts the biblical message of love, justice and reconciliation.
We further reject the contemporary alliance of Christian Zionist leaders and organizations with elements in the governments of Israel and the United States that are presently imposing their unilateral pre-emptive borders and domination over Palestine. This inevitably leads to unending cycles of violence that undermine the security of all peoples of the Middle East and the rest of the world. We reject the teachings of Christian Zionism that facilitate and support these policies as they advance racial exclusivity and perpetual war rather than the gospel of universal love, redemption and reconciliation taught by Jesus Christ. Rather than condemn the world to the doom of Armageddon we call upon everyone to liberate themselves from the ideologies of militarism and occupation. Instead, let them pursue the healing of the nations!
We call upon Christians in Churches on every continent to pray for the Palestinian and Israeli people, both of whom are suffering as victims of occupation and militarism. These discriminative actions are turning Palestine into impoverished ghettos surrounded by exclusive Israeli settlements. The establishment of the illegal settlements and the construction of the Separation Wall on confiscated Palestinian land undermines the viability of a Palestinian state as well as peace and security in the entire region.
We call upon all Churches that remain silent, to break their silence and speak for reconciliation with justice in the Holy Land. Therefore, we commit ourselves to the following principles as an alternative way:We affirm that all people are created in the image of God. In turn they are called to honor the dignity of every human being and to respect their inalienable rights. We affirm that Israelis and Palestinians are capable of living together within peace, justice and security. We affirm that Palestinians are one people, both Muslim and Christian. We reject all attempts to subvert and fragment their unity.
We call upon all people to reject the narrow world view of Christian Zionism and other ideologies that privilege one people at the expense of others. We are committed to non-violent resistance as the most effective means to end the illegal occupation in order to attain a just and lasting peace. With urgency we warn that Christian Zionism and its alliances are justifying colonization, apartheid and empire-building. God demands that justice be done. No enduring peace, security or reconciliation is possible without the foundation of justice. The demands of justice will not disappear. The struggle for justice must be pursued diligently and persistently but non-violently.What does the Lord require of you, to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.(Micah 6:8)
This is where we take our stand. We stand for justice. We can do no other. Justice alone guarantees a peace that will lead to reconciliation with a life of security and prosperity for all the peoples of our Land. By standing on the side of justice, we open ourselves to the work of peace - and working for peace makes us children of God. God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.(2 Cor 5:19)

IN DANIEL 25-26 ITS DANIELS 69 (69X7=483 YRS) WEEKS PREDICTION AND IN 26 IT SAYS THE ROMANS WOULD SIGN THE FINAL 70TH WEEK OF DANIELS FULFILLMENT TO END THE VISION AND PROPHECY.
27 And he(EU JEWISH DICTATOR) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(7 YRS OR 70TH WEEK OF DANIELS PROPHECY) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(STOPS ANIMAL SACRIFICES AT 3 1/2 MARK OF 70tH WEEK) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
NOTICE ITS ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM IN DANIELS PROPHECY, THATS WHY WE KNOW IN JOEL THE PARTING OF THE LAND IS JERUSALEM.
JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.(LAND FOR SECURITY BY THE EU)
ZECHARIAH 12:1-3,8-14
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.(ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM LIKE DANIEL PREDICTED)
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
8 In that day shall the LORD (GOD JESUS) defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I (GOD JESUS) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
MARK 16:19
19 So then after the Lord (GOD JESUS) had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

21 But we trusted that it had been he (GOD JESUS) which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.(INTERESTING,ITS 2000 YRS SINCE JESUS DIED FOR ISRAEL AND THE WORLD,ITS NOW INTO
THE 3RD DAY AS OF 2001).
FROM ADAM TO CHRIST WAS 4,000 YEARS, AND FROM CHRIST ( GOD) TO 2000 WAS 6,000 YEARS. AFTER 2001 STARTED THE 3RD DAY OR 7,000TH YEAR. THE EARTH WAS CREATED IN 6 DAYS AND GOD (JESUS) RESTED ON THE 7TH DAY.
ITS NO ACCIDENT THAT ISRAEL WAS REBORN AND CAPTURED JERUSALEM NEAR THE END OF THE 6,000TH YR. SO WE KNOW JESUS CAN RETURN ANYTIME NOW FOR THE 7TH DAY OF REST.(1000 YR MILLENIUM OF PEACE WITH GOD JESUS) RULING AS KING FROM JERUSALEM WITH ISRAELIS HIS HELPERS IN THE TEMPLE.
LUKE 24:50-51
50 And he (JESUS GOD) led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
AND WERE DID JESUS GO TO HEAVEN , THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. NOTICE IN ZECHARIAH 14:4 HE COMES BACK FROM WERE HE WENT TO HEAVEN, THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, ACCIDENT NO WAY. THE GREATEST EARTHQUAKE IN HISTORY OCCURS ON EARTH WHEN JESUS COMES BACK BODILY IN WHICH THE ISRAELIS WILL MOURN FOR THE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL (JESUS).
ZECHARIAH 14:1-4,12-14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD (GOD JESUS) cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;(WW3 3RD WAVE) and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD (GOD JESUS) go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his (JESUS GODS) feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
OH OH LUKEWARM LIBERALS CHURCHES IN ISRAEL THROW OUT CHRISTIANITY AS RADICAL MILITARISTS. HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR THESE LUKEWARMERS WHEN JUDGEMENT COMES IN THE FUTURE BIG TIME AND THEY WILL BE CRYING TO JESUS TO STOP THE JUDGEMENTS THAT ARE COMING UPON THEM.
IT WILL BE LUKEWARMERS LIKE THIS THAT HELP DIVIDE JERUSALEM AND CAUSE WW3 TO OCCUR BECAUSE THE GOD OF ISRAEL (KING JESUS) IS SO MAD THAT HIS JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED.
THE JERUSALEM DECLARATION ON CHRISTIAN ZIONISM - Statement by the Patriarch and Local Heads of Churches In Jerusalem
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.(Matthew 5:9)
Christian Zionism is a modern theological and political movement that embraces the most extreme ideological positions of Zionism, thereby becoming detrimental to a just peace within Palestine and Israel. The Christian Zionist programme provides a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism. In its extreme form, it laces an emphasis on apocalyptic events leading to the end of history rather than living Christ's love and justice today. We categorically reject Christian Zionist doctrines as false teaching that corrupts the biblical message of love, justice and reconciliation.
We further reject the contemporary alliance of Christian Zionist leaders and organizations with elements in the governments of Israel and the United States that are presently imposing their unilateral pre-emptive borders and domination over Palestine. This inevitably leads to unending cycles of violence that undermine the security of all peoples of the Middle East and the rest of the world. We reject the teachings of Christian Zionism that facilitate and support these policies as they advance racial exclusivity and perpetual war rather than the gospel of universal love, redemption and reconciliation taught by Jesus Christ. Rather than condemn the world to the doom of Armageddon we call upon everyone to liberate themselves from the ideologies of militarism and occupation. Instead, let them pursue the healing of the nations!
We call upon Christians in Churches on every continent to pray for the Palestinian and Israeli people, both of whom are suffering as victims of occupation and militarism. These discriminative actions are turning Palestine into impoverished ghettos surrounded by exclusive Israeli settlements. The establishment of the illegal settlements and the construction of the Separation Wall on confiscated Palestinian land undermines the viability of a Palestinian state as well as peace and security in the entire region.
We call upon all Churches that remain silent, to break their silence and speak for reconciliation with justice in the Holy Land. Therefore, we commit ourselves to the following principles as an alternative way:We affirm that all people are created in the image of God. In turn they are called to honor the dignity of every human being and to respect their inalienable rights. We affirm that Israelis and Palestinians are capable of living together within peace, justice and security. We affirm that Palestinians are one people, both Muslim and Christian. We reject all attempts to subvert and fragment their unity.
We call upon all people to reject the narrow world view of Christian Zionism and other ideologies that privilege one people at the expense of others. We are committed to non-violent resistance as the most effective means to end the illegal occupation in order to attain a just and lasting peace. With urgency we warn that Christian Zionism and its alliances are justifying colonization, apartheid and empire-building. God demands that justice be done. No enduring peace, security or reconciliation is possible without the foundation of justice. The demands of justice will not disappear. The struggle for justice must be pursued diligently and persistently but non-violently.What does the Lord require of you, to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.(Micah 6:8)
This is where we take our stand. We stand for justice. We can do no other. Justice alone guarantees a peace that will lead to reconciliation with a life of security and prosperity for all the peoples of our Land. By standing on the side of justice, we open ourselves to the work of peace - and working for peace makes us children of God. God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.(2 Cor 5:19)

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
GCC DRAFTS PLAN FOR IRANIAN NUKE DISASTER
August 30, 2006
The Middle East Newsline reports: The Gulf Cooperation Council has been drafting a plan to respond to a nuclear disaster in neighboring Iran.
Officials said the Bahrain-based Marine Emergency Mutual Aid Center [MEMAC] has headed an effort to draft responses to a leak from Iran's nuclear reactor at Bushehr, about 120 kilometers from the Gulf Arab kingdom. They said the center has established a task force that would include representatives from all six GCC states as well as Iran.
Over the next few months, the center plans to send experts to Iran to inspect Bushehr. The 1,000 megawatt light-water reactor was expected to begin full operations by July 2007.The problem with nuclear radiation is that it spreads very quickly and lasts a long time,MEMAC chairman Abdul Munim Janahi said. An action plan is needed to limit any effect that it may have, just as we have a regional action plan for the oil and chemical industries.
Growing fears over North Korea nuclear test
Jonathan Watts in Beijing
Wednesday August 30, 2006,The Guardian
International concerns about a possible North Korean nuclear test increased today with reports that Kim Jong-il may have crossed the border into China to explain his military provocations to uneasy allies in Beijing.According to the South Korean media, satellites have tracked a special North Korean train, the usual form of transport for Mr Kim, entering Chinese territory. If confirmed, it would be his second trip to Beijing in less than a year - an unheard-of flurry of diplomacy for a notoriously travel-shy figurehead.The reports are impossible to verify, but they come amid growing signs of Chinese anger with Mr Kim over last month's missile tests, and regional anxiety about his next move. Earlier this month, the South Korean president, Roh Moo-hyun, requested an emergency summit with Beijing's leaders.
For the past two weeks, Washington and Seoul have been buzzing with speculation that Pyongyang may be preparing to test a nuclear bomb. North Korea has frequently boasted it possesses such a weapon, but has never proved it. Testing a nuclear weapon would be seen as a dangerous escalation of the crisis.Mr Kim hopes to frighten Washington into making concessions, particularly lifting the financial restrictions on North Korea's overseas deposits. The choking of Pyongyang's foreign accounts, initiated by Washington in the name of an anti-money laundering campaign, has put Mr Kim under more pressure than any previous measure.
China has also demonstrated its frustration with the North Korean leader. Although the two countries were once described as being as close as lips and teeth, there have been several signs of a rift in the past year.
According to customs figures, China's exports of rice, maize and wheat to North Korea have slumped by more than two thirds in the first seven months of this year to 102,000 tonnes, compared with 331,000 tonnes in the same period last year. South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper has reported a significant decline in oil exports. Chinese financial institutions are also said to have cooperated with US moves to freeze North Korean accounts.It's quite clear that relations between China and North Korea are tense now, said Shi Yinhong of Renmin University in Beijing. Since the North Korean missile test, China has been indirectly supporting US sanctions on Pyongyang. If today's visit is confirmed, it may show that Kim Jong-il wants to complain about this.
Mr Kim is said to have expressed his distrust of his country's traditional allies after Beijing and Russia supported a United Nations security resolution criticising Pyongyang for the missile tests. According to a report by the Kyodo news agency, Mr Kim said China and Russia were unreliable at a meeting of North Korea's ambassadors, all of whom were hastily recalled to Pyongyang and instructed to prepare for a strengthening of the country's deterrent power.It is a critical time for North Korea. They are clearly frustrated. The financial restrictions are getting tighter and the Bush administration is showing no sign of flexibility,said Peter Beck,
a North Korea expert at the International Crisis Group in Seoul. If North Korea wants to do a nuclear test, they would want to consult with China first.But he said Beijing was already unhappy with its neighbour and a test would make relations worse. China's leaders want a stable buffer, but they also want a stable region and right now North Korea is threatening that stability. I don't know at what point Chinese leaders would start to think that North Korea is acting in such an irresponsible way that they cannot support it any more.

Quake rocks Yogyakarta again
Yogyakarta (ANTARA News) A tectonic earthquake measuring 2.2 on Richter Scale (SR) again rocked Yogyakarta and its surrounding areas at about 14:53 local time on Tuesday, a local Meteorology and Geophysics official said.
Dian, the official of the Meteorological and Geophysic Office (BMG) here told Antara that the epicenter of the quake was on the Parangtritis coastal area in the Bantul district.Lasting only for a few seconds, the tremor made some residents in the city shock, but not panic.In the meantime, a similar quake with a magnitude of 5.8 on Richter Scale was reported to have also hit the province of Gorontalo in Sulawesi at about 06:53 pm local time on Tuesday.
The meteorological office in Gorontalo said that the earthquake was located at 0.27 decrees southern latitude and 125.30 decrees eastern longitude at a depth of 59 km under the Maluku sea.It said that the quake which lasted for ten seconds had no potential to provoke tsunami tidal waves and material losses.No immediate reports on casualties and material losses.Indonesia with more than 17,000 islands, lies in a zone known as the Pacific ring of fire, which is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.Among the worst earthquakes hitting the country was the 8.9 magnitude temblor followed by subsequent tsunami in Aceh Province and Nias, North Sumatra in December 2004 which killed over 168.000 people, and the 5.9 magnitude quake hitting Yogyakarta last May, killing at least 5,700 people.
Indonesia`s archipelago stretches across one of the most unstable parts of the Earth`s surface. The country`s position on the planet`s crust means it will continue to experience such catastrophes, just as it has done for the past 50 million years or so, according to seismologists.Gary Gibson, professor of seismology at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, said recently that the plates of the planet`s crust that float on the molten core of the Earth smash against each other constantly, but while those plates usually move only a little bit each year, those that meet at Indonesia move more quickly.ANTARA,August 29.

17 counties get declared
disaster areas from floods 9.01.2006
TRENTON - United States Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns has designated 17 New Jersey counties as natural disaster areas, following heavy rains, flooding and other severe weather conditions that led to crop and livestock losses during the month of June. Excessive precipitation, high winds, hail, and high humidity that occurred June 1 and on led New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine to seek a disaster declaration to assist farmers affected by the weather by providing them with low-interest emergency loans.
In the past 14 months, New Jersey farmers have been hit hard with harsh weather everything from damaging hail and wind, to floods and even drought,said Corzine. Farming businesses are dependent upon the weather, and the federal loan program can
provide much needed assistance when the weather doesn’t cooperate.The counties included in the primary disaster designation are: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Sussex and Warren. Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union Counties were named as contiguous disaster counties. Field to field, farm to farm, region to region, we have experienced everything from some of the most dramatic losses to some very high quality yields this season, said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Charles M. Kuperus. This disaster declaration will help ensure that New Jersey’s agriculture industry is strong and thriving now and in the future.
The disaster designation makes farm operators in both primary and contiguous counties who suffered 30 percent or more on losses directly due to the harsh weather eligible to be considered for low-interest emergency loans from Farm Services Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. The loans can cover as much as 100 percent of the dollar value of the losses. FSA State Executive Director Paul Hlubik said farmers lost millions of dollars in crops this year due to hail storms, localized flooding, excessive rain and subsequent insect and disease damage. He said heat and wet conditions also caused accelerated maturing of crops and other problems.
Although the weather affected farmers individually, consumers will still find quality Jersey Fresh produce available in abundance throughout the state, said Hlubik. The Secretarial Disaster Designation makes farmers eligible for low-interest loans and restructuring of debt. I’m grateful to Secretary Johanns for providing this assistance and to Gov. Corzine for seeking this aid on behalf of the farmers I serve.
Farmers in Mercer, Hunterdon and Warren Counties as well as the contiguous counties already were eligible for assistance based on a Presidential disaster declaration due to flooding in June. FSA will consider each application on its own merit by taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. For further information, contact the State FSA office at 609-298-3446 or visit FSA on the web at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov/emloan.htm.

Exorcist says demonic influence is strong in today's world
By John Thavis,Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- An Italian exorcist said demonic influence is strong in today's world, affecting individuals and sometimes entire societies.While it is very rare for a person to be possessed by a demon, history reveals some likely examples --including Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, said Pauline Father Gabriele Amorth.Father Amorth, who works as an exorcist in the Diocese of Rome, made the comments in an interview with Vatican Radio Aug. 27.Father Amorth said every culture in history has shown an awareness of the existence of evil spirits. With the Bible, he said, these spirits were identified as rebellious angels who tempt man to evil out of hatred for God.
The devil can possess not only individuals but also entire groups and populations. For example, I am convinced that the Nazis were all possessed by the devil, he said.If one thinks of what was committed by people like Stalin or Hitler, certainly they were possessed by the devil. This is seen in their actions, in their behavior and in the horrors they committed,he said.Therefore, society also needs to be defended against the devil,he said.Father Amorth said he thought one reason why the devil's influence was high today is that Christian faith has weakened, replaced in many cases by superstition and an interest in the occult, which he said open the way to demonic influences.He said the church teaches that the devil is a pure spirit; he is not seen, but his effects can be seen, he said.
Exorcism, he said, is a prayer made in the name of the church to liberate people stricken by the devil or by his evil influences.Father Amorth gained notoriety in 2000 when he revealed that Pope John Paul II had performed an impromptu exorcism on a young woman who flew into an apparent rage at the end of a general audience at the Vatican.In 1999, the Vatican issued a revised Rite of Exorcism, cautioning that cases of actual possession by devils were probably very rare. The church also has emphasized that before an exorcism is performed, it is important to make certain one is dealing with the devil and not a psychological or other illness.END

GCC DRAFTS PLAN FOR IRANIAN NUKE DISASTER
August 30, 2006
The Middle East Newsline reports: The Gulf Cooperation Council has been drafting a plan to respond to a nuclear disaster in neighboring Iran.
Officials said the Bahrain-based Marine Emergency Mutual Aid Center [MEMAC] has headed an effort to draft responses to a leak from Iran's nuclear reactor at Bushehr, about 120 kilometers from the Gulf Arab kingdom. They said the center has established a task force that would include representatives from all six GCC states as well as Iran.
Over the next few months, the center plans to send experts to Iran to inspect Bushehr. The 1,000 megawatt light-water reactor was expected to begin full operations by July 2007.The problem with nuclear radiation is that it spreads very quickly and lasts a long time,MEMAC chairman Abdul Munim Janahi said. An action plan is needed to limit any effect that it may have, just as we have a regional action plan for the oil and chemical industries.
Growing fears over North Korea nuclear test
Jonathan Watts in Beijing
Wednesday August 30, 2006,The Guardian
International concerns about a possible North Korean nuclear test increased today with reports that Kim Jong-il may have crossed the border into China to explain his military provocations to uneasy allies in Beijing.According to the South Korean media, satellites have tracked a special North Korean train, the usual form of transport for Mr Kim, entering Chinese territory. If confirmed, it would be his second trip to Beijing in less than a year - an unheard-of flurry of diplomacy for a notoriously travel-shy figurehead.The reports are impossible to verify, but they come amid growing signs of Chinese anger with Mr Kim over last month's missile tests, and regional anxiety about his next move. Earlier this month, the South Korean president, Roh Moo-hyun, requested an emergency summit with Beijing's leaders.
For the past two weeks, Washington and Seoul have been buzzing with speculation that Pyongyang may be preparing to test a nuclear bomb. North Korea has frequently boasted it possesses such a weapon, but has never proved it. Testing a nuclear weapon would be seen as a dangerous escalation of the crisis.Mr Kim hopes to frighten Washington into making concessions, particularly lifting the financial restrictions on North Korea's overseas deposits. The choking of Pyongyang's foreign accounts, initiated by Washington in the name of an anti-money laundering campaign, has put Mr Kim under more pressure than any previous measure.
China has also demonstrated its frustration with the North Korean leader. Although the two countries were once described as being as close as lips and teeth, there have been several signs of a rift in the past year.
According to customs figures, China's exports of rice, maize and wheat to North Korea have slumped by more than two thirds in the first seven months of this year to 102,000 tonnes, compared with 331,000 tonnes in the same period last year. South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper has reported a significant decline in oil exports. Chinese financial institutions are also said to have cooperated with US moves to freeze North Korean accounts.It's quite clear that relations between China and North Korea are tense now, said Shi Yinhong of Renmin University in Beijing. Since the North Korean missile test, China has been indirectly supporting US sanctions on Pyongyang. If today's visit is confirmed, it may show that Kim Jong-il wants to complain about this.
Mr Kim is said to have expressed his distrust of his country's traditional allies after Beijing and Russia supported a United Nations security resolution criticising Pyongyang for the missile tests. According to a report by the Kyodo news agency, Mr Kim said China and Russia were unreliable at a meeting of North Korea's ambassadors, all of whom were hastily recalled to Pyongyang and instructed to prepare for a strengthening of the country's deterrent power.It is a critical time for North Korea. They are clearly frustrated. The financial restrictions are getting tighter and the Bush administration is showing no sign of flexibility,said Peter Beck,
a North Korea expert at the International Crisis Group in Seoul. If North Korea wants to do a nuclear test, they would want to consult with China first.But he said Beijing was already unhappy with its neighbour and a test would make relations worse. China's leaders want a stable buffer, but they also want a stable region and right now North Korea is threatening that stability. I don't know at what point Chinese leaders would start to think that North Korea is acting in such an irresponsible way that they cannot support it any more.

Quake rocks Yogyakarta again
Yogyakarta (ANTARA News) A tectonic earthquake measuring 2.2 on Richter Scale (SR) again rocked Yogyakarta and its surrounding areas at about 14:53 local time on Tuesday, a local Meteorology and Geophysics official said.
Dian, the official of the Meteorological and Geophysic Office (BMG) here told Antara that the epicenter of the quake was on the Parangtritis coastal area in the Bantul district.Lasting only for a few seconds, the tremor made some residents in the city shock, but not panic.In the meantime, a similar quake with a magnitude of 5.8 on Richter Scale was reported to have also hit the province of Gorontalo in Sulawesi at about 06:53 pm local time on Tuesday.
The meteorological office in Gorontalo said that the earthquake was located at 0.27 decrees southern latitude and 125.30 decrees eastern longitude at a depth of 59 km under the Maluku sea.It said that the quake which lasted for ten seconds had no potential to provoke tsunami tidal waves and material losses.No immediate reports on casualties and material losses.Indonesia with more than 17,000 islands, lies in a zone known as the Pacific ring of fire, which is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.Among the worst earthquakes hitting the country was the 8.9 magnitude temblor followed by subsequent tsunami in Aceh Province and Nias, North Sumatra in December 2004 which killed over 168.000 people, and the 5.9 magnitude quake hitting Yogyakarta last May, killing at least 5,700 people.
Indonesia`s archipelago stretches across one of the most unstable parts of the Earth`s surface. The country`s position on the planet`s crust means it will continue to experience such catastrophes, just as it has done for the past 50 million years or so, according to seismologists.Gary Gibson, professor of seismology at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, said recently that the plates of the planet`s crust that float on the molten core of the Earth smash against each other constantly, but while those plates usually move only a little bit each year, those that meet at Indonesia move more quickly.ANTARA,August 29.

17 counties get declared
disaster areas from floods 9.01.2006
TRENTON - United States Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns has designated 17 New Jersey counties as natural disaster areas, following heavy rains, flooding and other severe weather conditions that led to crop and livestock losses during the month of June. Excessive precipitation, high winds, hail, and high humidity that occurred June 1 and on led New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine to seek a disaster declaration to assist farmers affected by the weather by providing them with low-interest emergency loans.
In the past 14 months, New Jersey farmers have been hit hard with harsh weather everything from damaging hail and wind, to floods and even drought,said Corzine. Farming businesses are dependent upon the weather, and the federal loan program can
provide much needed assistance when the weather doesn’t cooperate.The counties included in the primary disaster designation are: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Sussex and Warren. Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union Counties were named as contiguous disaster counties. Field to field, farm to farm, region to region, we have experienced everything from some of the most dramatic losses to some very high quality yields this season, said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Charles M. Kuperus. This disaster declaration will help ensure that New Jersey’s agriculture industry is strong and thriving now and in the future.
The disaster designation makes farm operators in both primary and contiguous counties who suffered 30 percent or more on losses directly due to the harsh weather eligible to be considered for low-interest emergency loans from Farm Services Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. The loans can cover as much as 100 percent of the dollar value of the losses. FSA State Executive Director Paul Hlubik said farmers lost millions of dollars in crops this year due to hail storms, localized flooding, excessive rain and subsequent insect and disease damage. He said heat and wet conditions also caused accelerated maturing of crops and other problems.
Although the weather affected farmers individually, consumers will still find quality Jersey Fresh produce available in abundance throughout the state, said Hlubik. The Secretarial Disaster Designation makes farmers eligible for low-interest loans and restructuring of debt. I’m grateful to Secretary Johanns for providing this assistance and to Gov. Corzine for seeking this aid on behalf of the farmers I serve.
Farmers in Mercer, Hunterdon and Warren Counties as well as the contiguous counties already were eligible for assistance based on a Presidential disaster declaration due to flooding in June. FSA will consider each application on its own merit by taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. For further information, contact the State FSA office at 609-298-3446 or visit FSA on the web at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov/emloan.htm.

Exorcist says demonic influence is strong in today's world
By John Thavis,Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- An Italian exorcist said demonic influence is strong in today's world, affecting individuals and sometimes entire societies.While it is very rare for a person to be possessed by a demon, history reveals some likely examples --including Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, said Pauline Father Gabriele Amorth.Father Amorth, who works as an exorcist in the Diocese of Rome, made the comments in an interview with Vatican Radio Aug. 27.Father Amorth said every culture in history has shown an awareness of the existence of evil spirits. With the Bible, he said, these spirits were identified as rebellious angels who tempt man to evil out of hatred for God.
The devil can possess not only individuals but also entire groups and populations. For example, I am convinced that the Nazis were all possessed by the devil, he said.If one thinks of what was committed by people like Stalin or Hitler, certainly they were possessed by the devil. This is seen in their actions, in their behavior and in the horrors they committed,he said.Therefore, society also needs to be defended against the devil,he said.Father Amorth said he thought one reason why the devil's influence was high today is that Christian faith has weakened, replaced in many cases by superstition and an interest in the occult, which he said open the way to demonic influences.He said the church teaches that the devil is a pure spirit; he is not seen, but his effects can be seen, he said.
Exorcism, he said, is a prayer made in the name of the church to liberate people stricken by the devil or by his evil influences.Father Amorth gained notoriety in 2000 when he revealed that Pope John Paul II had performed an impromptu exorcism on a young woman who flew into an apparent rage at the end of a general audience at the Vatican.In 1999, the Vatican issued a revised Rite of Exorcism, cautioning that cases of actual possession by devils were probably very rare. The church also has emphasized that before an exorcism is performed, it is important to make certain one is dealing with the devil and not a psychological or other illness.END

EU needs constitution with Christian reference, Merkel says
29.08.2006 - 09:46 CET | By Lucia Kubosova(EU OBSERVER)
German chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested Europe needs a constitution that makes reference to Christianity and God following her audience with Pope Benedict XVI on Monday (29 August).The German leader, the daughter of a protestant pastor, visited the Pope at his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, to discuss several issues in European and international politics, ahead of the Pope's September visit to Germany, his homeland.We spoke about freedom of religion, Ms Merkel told journalists following the 45-minute meeting.She added I underlined my opinion that we need a European identity in the form of a constitutional treaty and I think it should be connected to Christianity and God, as Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way,according to press reports.
The Christian Democrat leader has previously spoken out in favour of reopening the debate on religion in the constitution as the EU considers how to tackle the deadlock after the treaty's rejection by French and Dutch voters last year.Germany has been assigned by EU member states to come up with some kind of solution to the constitutional crisis during its presidency of the union in the first six months of 2007. Like Mrs Merkel, some leading figures of the European People's Party - the federalist centre-right pan-European group - have pointed out that a possible re-drafted treaty should include clear links to Europe's Christian heritage.During earlier negotiations on the content of the new EU charter, Spain, Italy and Poland were among the strongest supporters of a reference to God in the treaty.
But its opponents argued it could prove controversial in view of Turkey's potential membership of the EU as well as due to the strict separation of state and church in some countries, such as France.Currently, the preamble refers to Europe's religious heritage only in general terms.Drawing inspiration from the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe, the values of which, still present in its heritage, have embedded within the life of society the central role of the human person and his or her inviolable and inalienable rights, and respect for law, it states.

Indonesia downgrades quake 1 hour, 31 minutes ago
JAKARTA (Reuters) An undersea earthquake struck near Indonesia's Moluccas islands on Tuesday, but officials said its strength was moderate and there was no risk of a tsunami. There were no reports of any casualties or damage.
The tsunami warning has been canceled. The epicenter of the quake was 33 km (21 miles) in the sea with a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale,Subagio, an official at the state meteorological agency, said.Earlier, the agency had pegged the magnitude at 6.4.The quake was centered southwest of Tual island under the Banda Sea, due east of East Timor and north of Darwin in northern Australia, the agency said.
People went out of their homes and some are still standing outside their homes. The quake was not very strong but people are afraid that there will be a tsunami, Ahmad Bugis, an official at state oil firm Pertamina in Tual, told Reuters.Indonesia, which lies in the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire, has been on edge since a tsunami struck the southern coast of Java island last month killing more than 600 people.It was the second tsunami to hit the country in less than two years.On December 26, 2004 a devastating tsunami left up to 232,000 people dead or missing in a dozen Indian Ocean nations, including nearly 170,000 in Indonesia's Aceh province.

Hurricane John threatens Mexico's Pacific coast 15 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical storm John turned into a hurricane off Mexico's Pacific Coast on Tuesday, threatening to trigger dangerous flash floods and mudslides as it neared Acapulco and other tourist resorts. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said John was packing maximum sustained winds of almost 80 mph (130 kph) with higher gusts.Storm warnings were posted for a long stretch of coastline from Acapulco to the steel-making port of Lazaro Cardenas, as John became the sixth hurricane of the east Pacific season.Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches and isolated deluges of 8 inches were possible along the coast.These amounts could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides over areas of mountainous terrain, the hurricane center said.
John, a category one hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale which goes up to a top notch of five, is located about 190 miles southeast of Acapulco and is slowly moving northwest parallel to the coast.John is expected to pound Acapulco with wind and rain from Tuesday and then batter other coastal resorts like Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos in the Baja California peninsula in coming days.The nearby port of Salina Cruz, which exports crude oil to Asia, was open but on alert, with the port authority reporting wind and choppy seas.State oil monopoly Pemex also has a refinery at Salina Cruz, southeast of Acapulco, with refining capacity of 330,000 barrels per day. The hurricane was moving further away from the oil port.(Additional reporting by Catherine Bremer)
Tropical Storm Ernesto aims for Florida By JESSICA GRESKO, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 9 minutes ago
KEY WEST, Fla. - Rain from Tropical Storm Ernesto swept across parts of the vulnerable Florida Keys on Tuesday morning as residents hurried to fill gas tanks, gather emergency supplies and board up windows before the main body of the storm strikes.
The storm has a chance of regaining hurricane strength before it makes landfall as early as Tuesday night, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said.On the anniversary of Katrina's devastation of New Orleans, and with memories still fresh of the seven hurricanes that have hit Florida since 2004, state officials urged residents not to wait for Ernesto to strengthen again.
Tourists were ordered out of the Keys. Mainland Broward and Miami-Dade counties urged residents of mobile homes and homes still damaged from previous storms, including roofs protected only by tarpaulins, to evacuate early Tuesday.
If your home currently has a blue tarp, it is not safe, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez said.Ernesto had sustained wind of 45 mph shortly before noon, with higher gusts, and the hurricane center said it was likely to grow more powerful as it crossed the warm Florida Straits between Cuba and the peninsula.Forecasters put the chance of tropical storm-force wind of at least 39 mph hitting Florida at about 70 percent. The number was only 5 percent for hurricane-force sustained wind of at least 74 mph, but forecasters warned Floridians to pay attention even if it doesn't become a hurricane.A strong tropical storm is certainly capable of producing wind gusts to hurricane force and those winds can cause power lines to go down and can cause roof damage, senior hurricane specialist Richard Knabb said.
Tropical storm warnings were extended Tuesday along the East Coast from the Florida Keys to Altamaha Sound, Ga., about halfway up the Georgia coast, and a tropical storm watch was extended along Florida's Gulf Coast north to Tarpon Springs, just
north of Clearwater.
All of Florida's southern half was under a tropical storm watch or warning.Line formed across southern Florida at gas stations and groceries and home-supply stores as soon as they opened as people grabbed emergency supplies.At a Miami pharmacy,
71-year-old Migdalia Antigua was the first person in line early Tuesday, buying cholesterol medication and other supplies for her family.All of the responsibility falls on me because I'm the one in the household with my legs under me, Antigua said.The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it had 120 truckloads of water and meals stationed in Florida.
NASA started moving space shuttle Atlantis off the launch pad and back into its giant shelter at Cape Canaveral because of the storm. Cruise ship companies diverted several liners.At 11 a.m. EDT, Ernesto was centered over warm open water in the Florida Straits, about 170 miles southeast of Key West and 180 miles south-southeast of Miami, the hurricane center said. It was moving west-northwest at about 13 mph and could dump 5 to 15 inches of rain.
Northward up the Atlantic Seaboard, South Carolina was activating nearly 250 National Guard members to be ready if Ernesto reaches that state later in the week, Gov. Mark Sanford said Tuesday. North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley urged residents to make preparations.After crossing Florida and hitting open water again, Ernesto was expected to make landfall along the South Carolina coast Thursday afternoon as a tropical storm, the National Weather Service said Tuesday morning. There's more uncertainty surrounding this storm than with some of the storms last year,said Jonathan Lamb at the weather service in Charleston, S.C.
Key West streets were relatively quiet early Tuesday. Some hotels had plywood up over windows, but many homes were unprotected. Shelters opened around the area but initially were crowded. Midmorning, 27 people with special health needs, some on
gurneys, were in a shelter at Florida International University near Miami. Over the weekend, Ernesto, the fifth named storm of the hurricane season, became the first hurricane of the Atlantic season and lashed the Dominican Republic and Haiti, killing one woman on a Haitian island.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury Monday in Cuba. In an unusual recognition of the quiet cooperation that has long existed between American and Cuban meteorologists, an advisory from the hurricane center expressed special thanks to the government of Cuba for permitting reconnaissance aircraft to fly right up to their coastline to gather this critical weather data. The Bahamas on Monday ordered boats in southern islands to stay in port. The island chain had a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch in effect for western islands close to Florida's coast.

Spain calls for collective effort to achieve Mideast peace
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos on Monday called for a collective effort to achieve an efficient result in the Middle East peace process. The influence of Europe is perhaps more effective than the simple power shown by the United States for achieving peace between Israel and three other parties in the region -- Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, Moratinos said in a public lecture at Menendez Pelayo International University. Military power has not managed to solve the problems of Lebanon, but perhaps political influence can guarantee Israel's security against the katyusha rockets fired by Lebanon-based guerilla group Hezbollah, he added.
Moratinos urged the European Union to act on its own initiative as the United States could not solve the problem even at the best of times for the U.S. administration. He said it was wrong of people to think that the United States only helped Israel and that Europe only helped the Arab nations. This is not the case, neither in Spain, nor in Europe as a whole, Moratinos said, stressing that Spain had first condemned Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers.
Meanwhile, he said the Spanish government's plan to send troops to the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon needed approval from parliament. On Friday, Spain said it would send 800-1,000 soldiers to join the enlarged UN Interim Force in Lebanon. It would be the country's largest single armed operation overseas. Source: Xinhua

Fugitive polygamist leader Jeffs caught
KEN RITTER,Associated Press
LAS VEGAS - A polygamist Mormon sect leader who was on the FBI's Most Wanted List has been arrested and faces sexual misconduct charges for allegedly arranging marriages between underage girls and older men, authorities said Tuesday.Warren
Steed Jeffs, 50, was taken into custody after he and two other people were pulled over late Monday by a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper on Interstate 15 just north of Las Vegas, FBI spokesman David Staretz said.The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was wanted in Utah and Arizona on suspicion of sexual misconduct for allegedly arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.
Since May, Jeffs has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, with a $100,000 reward offered for information leading to his capture.
The other two people in the vehicle were identified as one of Warren Jeffs' wives, Naomi Jeffs, and a brother, Isaac Steve Jeffs, both 32, Staretz said. They were being interviewed by the FBI in Las Vegas but were not arrested.Jeffs was in federal custody in Las Vegas pending a court hearing on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, Staretz said. It was not immediately clear if Jeffs would face extradition to Arizona or Utah.Jeffs was indicted in June on an Arizona charge of arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old girl and a married man, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
He is charged in Utah with two felony counts of rape as an accomplice, for allegedly arranging the marriage of a teenage girl to an older man in Nevada.The FLDS Church split from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when the mainstream Mormon Church disavowed plural marriage more than 100 years ago.

Iran president challenges authority of U.N. Security Council, wants to debate Bush Updated 8/29/2006 10:04 AM ET
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday challenged the authority of the U.N. Security Council as Iran faces a deadline to halt its uranium enrichment and he called for a televised debate with President Bush on world issues.
The Security Council has given Iran until Thursday to suspend enrichment, a process that can produce either fuel for a reactor or material for weapons.The U.S. and Britain are the source of many tensions, Ahmadinejad said at a news conference. At the Security Council, where they have to protect security, they enjoy the veto right. If anybody confronts them, there is no place to take complaints to.This (veto right) is the source of problems of the world. ... It is an insult to the dignity, independence, freedom and sovereignty of nations, he said.
ON DEADLINE: How do you think Ahmadinejad would fare in a debate?
Ahmadinejad rejected any suspension of enrichment, even if U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked for it during an upcoming visit to Iran.The use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is the right of the Iranian nation. The Iranian nation has chosen this path. ... No one can prevent it,he said.Iran last week responded to a Western incentives package aimed at getting Tehran to roll back its nuclear program. Iranian officials said the Islamic country did not agree to halt enrichment — the key demand — before engaging in further talks.Ahmadinejad called the response an opportunity for the two sides to resolve the issue and he didn't rule out the possibility of direct talks with the United States.
The opportunity the Iranian nation has given to other countries today is a very exceptional opportunity for a fair resolution of the issue, he said.The Iranian president also called Israel a threat to peace and stability in the Middle East.The Zionist regime has deprived the Palestinian nation and other nations of the region of a single day of peace. In the past 60 years, it has imposed tens of wars on the Palestinian nation and others, he said.The Associated Press. Updated 8/29/2006 10:04 AM ET

EU needs constitution with Christian reference, Merkel says
29.08.2006 - 09:46 CET | By Lucia Kubosova(EU OBSERVER)
German chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested Europe needs a constitution that makes reference to Christianity and God following her audience with Pope Benedict XVI on Monday (29 August).The German leader, the daughter of a protestant pastor, visited the Pope at his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, to discuss several issues in European and international politics, ahead of the Pope's September visit to Germany, his homeland.We spoke about freedom of religion, Ms Merkel told journalists following the 45-minute meeting.She added I underlined my opinion that we need a European identity in the form of a constitutional treaty and I think it should be connected to Christianity and God, as Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way,according to press reports.
The Christian Democrat leader has previously spoken out in favour of reopening the debate on religion in the constitution as the EU considers how to tackle the deadlock after the treaty's rejection by French and Dutch voters last year.Germany has been assigned by EU member states to come up with some kind of solution to the constitutional crisis during its presidency of the union in the first six months of 2007. Like Mrs Merkel, some leading figures of the European People's Party - the federalist centre-right pan-European group - have pointed out that a possible re-drafted treaty should include clear links to Europe's Christian heritage.During earlier negotiations on the content of the new EU charter, Spain, Italy and Poland were among the strongest supporters of a reference to God in the treaty.
But its opponents argued it could prove controversial in view of Turkey's potential membership of the EU as well as due to the strict separation of state and church in some countries, such as France.Currently, the preamble refers to Europe's religious heritage only in general terms.Drawing inspiration from the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe, the values of which, still present in its heritage, have embedded within the life of society the central role of the human person and his or her inviolable and inalienable rights, and respect for law, it states.

Indonesia downgrades quake 1 hour, 31 minutes ago
JAKARTA (Reuters) An undersea earthquake struck near Indonesia's Moluccas islands on Tuesday, but officials said its strength was moderate and there was no risk of a tsunami. There were no reports of any casualties or damage.
The tsunami warning has been canceled. The epicenter of the quake was 33 km (21 miles) in the sea with a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale,Subagio, an official at the state meteorological agency, said.Earlier, the agency had pegged the magnitude at 6.4.The quake was centered southwest of Tual island under the Banda Sea, due east of East Timor and north of Darwin in northern Australia, the agency said.
People went out of their homes and some are still standing outside their homes. The quake was not very strong but people are afraid that there will be a tsunami, Ahmad Bugis, an official at state oil firm Pertamina in Tual, told Reuters.Indonesia, which lies in the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire, has been on edge since a tsunami struck the southern coast of Java island last month killing more than 600 people.It was the second tsunami to hit the country in less than two years.On December 26, 2004 a devastating tsunami left up to 232,000 people dead or missing in a dozen Indian Ocean nations, including nearly 170,000 in Indonesia's Aceh province.

Hurricane John threatens Mexico's Pacific coast 15 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical storm John turned into a hurricane off Mexico's Pacific Coast on Tuesday, threatening to trigger dangerous flash floods and mudslides as it neared Acapulco and other tourist resorts. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said John was packing maximum sustained winds of almost 80 mph (130 kph) with higher gusts.Storm warnings were posted for a long stretch of coastline from Acapulco to the steel-making port of Lazaro Cardenas, as John became the sixth hurricane of the east Pacific season.Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches and isolated deluges of 8 inches were possible along the coast.These amounts could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides over areas of mountainous terrain, the hurricane center said.
John, a category one hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale which goes up to a top notch of five, is located about 190 miles southeast of Acapulco and is slowly moving northwest parallel to the coast.John is expected to pound Acapulco with wind and rain from Tuesday and then batter other coastal resorts like Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos in the Baja California peninsula in coming days.The nearby port of Salina Cruz, which exports crude oil to Asia, was open but on alert, with the port authority reporting wind and choppy seas.State oil monopoly Pemex also has a refinery at Salina Cruz, southeast of Acapulco, with refining capacity of 330,000 barrels per day. The hurricane was moving further away from the oil port.(Additional reporting by Catherine Bremer)
Tropical Storm Ernesto aims for Florida By JESSICA GRESKO, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 9 minutes ago
KEY WEST, Fla. - Rain from Tropical Storm Ernesto swept across parts of the vulnerable Florida Keys on Tuesday morning as residents hurried to fill gas tanks, gather emergency supplies and board up windows before the main body of the storm strikes.
The storm has a chance of regaining hurricane strength before it makes landfall as early as Tuesday night, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said.On the anniversary of Katrina's devastation of New Orleans, and with memories still fresh of the seven hurricanes that have hit Florida since 2004, state officials urged residents not to wait for Ernesto to strengthen again.
Tourists were ordered out of the Keys. Mainland Broward and Miami-Dade counties urged residents of mobile homes and homes still damaged from previous storms, including roofs protected only by tarpaulins, to evacuate early Tuesday.
If your home currently has a blue tarp, it is not safe, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez said.Ernesto had sustained wind of 45 mph shortly before noon, with higher gusts, and the hurricane center said it was likely to grow more powerful as it crossed the warm Florida Straits between Cuba and the peninsula.Forecasters put the chance of tropical storm-force wind of at least 39 mph hitting Florida at about 70 percent. The number was only 5 percent for hurricane-force sustained wind of at least 74 mph, but forecasters warned Floridians to pay attention even if it doesn't become a hurricane.A strong tropical storm is certainly capable of producing wind gusts to hurricane force and those winds can cause power lines to go down and can cause roof damage, senior hurricane specialist Richard Knabb said.
Tropical storm warnings were extended Tuesday along the East Coast from the Florida Keys to Altamaha Sound, Ga., about halfway up the Georgia coast, and a tropical storm watch was extended along Florida's Gulf Coast north to Tarpon Springs, just
north of Clearwater.
All of Florida's southern half was under a tropical storm watch or warning.Line formed across southern Florida at gas stations and groceries and home-supply stores as soon as they opened as people grabbed emergency supplies.At a Miami pharmacy,
71-year-old Migdalia Antigua was the first person in line early Tuesday, buying cholesterol medication and other supplies for her family.All of the responsibility falls on me because I'm the one in the household with my legs under me, Antigua said.The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it had 120 truckloads of water and meals stationed in Florida.
NASA started moving space shuttle Atlantis off the launch pad and back into its giant shelter at Cape Canaveral because of the storm. Cruise ship companies diverted several liners.At 11 a.m. EDT, Ernesto was centered over warm open water in the Florida Straits, about 170 miles southeast of Key West and 180 miles south-southeast of Miami, the hurricane center said. It was moving west-northwest at about 13 mph and could dump 5 to 15 inches of rain.
Northward up the Atlantic Seaboard, South Carolina was activating nearly 250 National Guard members to be ready if Ernesto reaches that state later in the week, Gov. Mark Sanford said Tuesday. North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley urged residents to make preparations.After crossing Florida and hitting open water again, Ernesto was expected to make landfall along the South Carolina coast Thursday afternoon as a tropical storm, the National Weather Service said Tuesday morning. There's more uncertainty surrounding this storm than with some of the storms last year,said Jonathan Lamb at the weather service in Charleston, S.C.
Key West streets were relatively quiet early Tuesday. Some hotels had plywood up over windows, but many homes were unprotected. Shelters opened around the area but initially were crowded. Midmorning, 27 people with special health needs, some on
gurneys, were in a shelter at Florida International University near Miami. Over the weekend, Ernesto, the fifth named storm of the hurricane season, became the first hurricane of the Atlantic season and lashed the Dominican Republic and Haiti, killing one woman on a Haitian island.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury Monday in Cuba. In an unusual recognition of the quiet cooperation that has long existed between American and Cuban meteorologists, an advisory from the hurricane center expressed special thanks to the government of Cuba for permitting reconnaissance aircraft to fly right up to their coastline to gather this critical weather data. The Bahamas on Monday ordered boats in southern islands to stay in port. The island chain had a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch in effect for western islands close to Florida's coast.

Spain calls for collective effort to achieve Mideast peace
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos on Monday called for a collective effort to achieve an efficient result in the Middle East peace process. The influence of Europe is perhaps more effective than the simple power shown by the United States for achieving peace between Israel and three other parties in the region -- Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, Moratinos said in a public lecture at Menendez Pelayo International University. Military power has not managed to solve the problems of Lebanon, but perhaps political influence can guarantee Israel's security against the katyusha rockets fired by Lebanon-based guerilla group Hezbollah, he added.
Moratinos urged the European Union to act on its own initiative as the United States could not solve the problem even at the best of times for the U.S. administration. He said it was wrong of people to think that the United States only helped Israel and that Europe only helped the Arab nations. This is not the case, neither in Spain, nor in Europe as a whole, Moratinos said, stressing that Spain had first condemned Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers.
Meanwhile, he said the Spanish government's plan to send troops to the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon needed approval from parliament. On Friday, Spain said it would send 800-1,000 soldiers to join the enlarged UN Interim Force in Lebanon. It would be the country's largest single armed operation overseas. Source: Xinhua

Fugitive polygamist leader Jeffs caught
KEN RITTER,Associated Press
LAS VEGAS - A polygamist Mormon sect leader who was on the FBI's Most Wanted List has been arrested and faces sexual misconduct charges for allegedly arranging marriages between underage girls and older men, authorities said Tuesday.Warren
Steed Jeffs, 50, was taken into custody after he and two other people were pulled over late Monday by a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper on Interstate 15 just north of Las Vegas, FBI spokesman David Staretz said.The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was wanted in Utah and Arizona on suspicion of sexual misconduct for allegedly arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.
Since May, Jeffs has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, with a $100,000 reward offered for information leading to his capture.
The other two people in the vehicle were identified as one of Warren Jeffs' wives, Naomi Jeffs, and a brother, Isaac Steve Jeffs, both 32, Staretz said. They were being interviewed by the FBI in Las Vegas but were not arrested.Jeffs was in federal custody in Las Vegas pending a court hearing on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, Staretz said. It was not immediately clear if Jeffs would face extradition to Arizona or Utah.Jeffs was indicted in June on an Arizona charge of arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old girl and a married man, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
He is charged in Utah with two felony counts of rape as an accomplice, for allegedly arranging the marriage of a teenage girl to an older man in Nevada.The FLDS Church split from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when the mainstream Mormon Church disavowed plural marriage more than 100 years ago.

Iran president challenges authority of U.N. Security Council, wants to debate Bush Updated 8/29/2006 10:04 AM ET
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday challenged the authority of the U.N. Security Council as Iran faces a deadline to halt its uranium enrichment and he called for a televised debate with President Bush on world issues.
The Security Council has given Iran until Thursday to suspend enrichment, a process that can produce either fuel for a reactor or material for weapons.The U.S. and Britain are the source of many tensions, Ahmadinejad said at a news conference. At the Security Council, where they have to protect security, they enjoy the veto right. If anybody confronts them, there is no place to take complaints to.This (veto right) is the source of problems of the world. ... It is an insult to the dignity, independence, freedom and sovereignty of nations, he said.
ON DEADLINE: How do you think Ahmadinejad would fare in a debate?
Ahmadinejad rejected any suspension of enrichment, even if U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked for it during an upcoming visit to Iran.The use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is the right of the Iranian nation.

TAIPEI, Taiwan A strong earthquake struck off Taiwan's east coast Monday, the Central Weather Bureau said.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported. The magnitude 6.1 quake was
centered under the Pacific Ocean 80 miles east of Suao in northeastern Taiwan, the weather bureau said.Suao is a coastal city about 75 miles southeast of the capital of Taipei. The quake, which struck before dawn, was felt across the island but did not appear to cause major damage because of its distance, the bureau said.Quakes frequently rattle the island, but most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a magnitude-7.6 earthquake in central Taiwan in September 1999 killed more than 2,300 people.

Ernesto douses eastern Cuba en route to Florida By Anthony Boadle
1 hour, 39 minutes ago
HAVANA (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Ernesto drenched eastern Cuba on Monday and headed for the Florida Straits, where it could regain hurricane strength and hit Florida's most populous region. Ernesto, which briefly became the Atlantic season's first hurricane on Sunday, killed two people in impoverished Haiti.It then faded to a mass of showers and thunderstorms with 40 mph (64 kph) winds as it moved over Cuba, dumping up to seven inches of rain and filling reservoirs to the brim, but packing few gusts.
Forecasters said it would likely gather force from the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and be just below hurricane strength by the time it neared the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area, home to about 5 million people.The intensity forecast is for Ernesto to be very near hurricane strength at landfall,on Tuesday or early Wednesday, said Florida meteorologist Ben Nelson.
Battered by eight hurricanes in two years, Florida prepared for a pounding one year after Hurricane Katrina smacked the state on its way to the U.S. Gulf coast, where it swamped New Orleans, killed 1,500 people and caused $80 billion in damage.Hour-long lines formed at gas stations and people shopped for plywood, batteries and water across a region where Hurricane Wilma knocked out power to millions and caused $12 billion in damage just 10 months ago.
Just prepare. It's not fun and games, Mike Puto, city manager of Marathon in the Florida Keys, told residents.NASA called off the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis from Cape Canaveral this week and said the spacecraft would likely be taken off the launchpad and rolled into a hangar to to keep it safe.The storm made landfall in Cuba earlier on Monday near Guantanamo Bay, site of a U.S. naval base where several hundred suspected al Qaeda and Taliban militants are held.
CUBANS RETURN HOME
Ernesto is but a shadow of its former self,Cuban weather forecaster Jose Rubiera said shortly before Cuba lifted a hurricane warning in the provinces of Guantanamo, Santiago and Granma.
Evacuees from those areas were being returned home.Cuba had evacuated more than 600,000 people, many in buses and trucks. Cattle and crops were protected and domestic flights to eastern Cuba suspended.Ernesto's center was close to the north coast of Cuba and 60 miles east of the city of Camaguey at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), moving northwest at 13 mph (20 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.The storm's center should emerge into the Florida Straits on Monday night, the Miami-based center said.National Hurricane Center director Max Mayfield warned Floridians not to take the storm lightly even if it doesn't reach hurricane force again.It's a little academic whether you have 70 mph (113 kph), that's what we're forecasting, when you have a tropical storm, or 75 mph (120 kph) and you have a hurricane,he said. And let's not forget Katrina last year.
Katrina caused $572 million in insured damage when it crossed Florida as a Category 1 storm, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Ernesto provided a sharp reminder to residents of vulnerable U.S. coastal areas that the peak of the hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, was upon them. Florida's government declared a state of emergency and television stations cranked up coverage with reminders to fill bathtubs with water and to put up hurricane shutters. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reassured residents there would be no fuel shortages and urged them not to overreact by rushing to the pumps. Tourists were ordered out of the Florida Keys and schools and courts were closed in the low-lying, 110-mile (177-km) island chain off Florida's southern tip.
Ernesto was downgraded to a tropical storm after pounding Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas. It killed at least two people, one of them near Gonaives, a port city where tropical storm flooding killed 3,000 people two years ago. Oil prices fell over $2 on Monday after Ernesto seemed less likely to threaten oil facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, where a quarter of U.S. oil and gas is pumped.

At least 150 dead after flash floods in Indian desert state Mon Aug 28, 1:32 AM ET
BARMER, India (AFP) - At least 150 bodies have been recovered since last week following flash floods caused by heavy monsoon rains in India's desert state of Rajasthan, officials said Monday. In 11 districts of Rajasthan 150 bodies have been recovered so far, state public works minister Rajendra Singh Rathore told AFP.The toll has risen sharply since Sunday as rescue workers continue to find more bodies as flood waters fell in the normally drought-prone area, where about 100 people were still missing.The majority of the flood-related deaths occurred in Barmer district, with local police chief N.R.K. Reddy saying the toll was expected to rise.
The district, which experienced unusually heavy rains in the last 10 days, is near the border with Pakistan, or about 887 kilometres (549 miles) west of the Indian capital New Delhi.In more than a dozen villages pools of water reached depths of 18 metres (30 feet), leading state officials to ask the central government to send a task force to examine how to help drain the water.As many as 47,000 animal carcasses have been found raising fears of water-borne disease in the region, Rathore said.Earlier this month, hundreds were killed and more than 10 million people in four states were affected by floods caused by monsoon rains that sweep India from June to September and are crucial for the farm-dependent economy.Western Gujarat state faced the brunt with its diamond-polishing hub of Surat remaining under water for five days.

Rain ends 19 consecutive 100-degree days,By DAN X. McGRAW
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
FORT WORTH — The skies opened up Sunday on the Metroplex, dropping rain throughout Tarrant County and putting an end to 19 consecutive 100-degree days and could be the first signs of fall, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.
If you call Aledo right now, they’ll tell you that they are getting drowned, meteorologist Vick Corbelli shortly after 3 p.m. Fort Worth might get it in the next hour or so.The storm system, which has dumped a half-inch to an inch of rain, has been moving slowly from the northwest bringing the first drops of rain to the area since August 7th, the last day the high temperature was below 100 degrees, Corbelli said.
With the dark clouds hovering above, the Metroplex has cooled down to the lower 90s at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Today’s high topped out at 96, Corbelli said.This is the cool wave that is definitely going to break the back of this heat wave,said meteorologist Jesse Moore.There is still hot weather to come, but we’ve gotten through the worst of it now.The cooler weather might be here to stay, Corbelli said, as a northwest flow should bring lower temperatures to the Metroplex every seven to ten days.
It looks like fall might be coming out, he said.The rain is predicted to continue through the evening. There is a 60 percent chance of rain Monday with a high in the low 90s.

Chirac calls for rapid meeting of Mideast quartet

Paris- French President Jacques Chirac on Monday called for a rapid meeting of the so-called Mideast quartet to relaunch the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. To resign oneself to the status quo is to risk a spiral of violence that will go out of control, Chirac warned French ambassadors meeting in Paris. The French president said that just as Israel had a right to live in peace and security, the Palestinians had the right of their own state with stable and secure borders. The realization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinians would justify neither the intolerable denial of Israel's right to exist nor the recourse to terrorism, Chirac said.
Noting that a relaunch of the peace process was vital, Chirac said: In this perspective I call for a rapid meeting of the quartet, which consists of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia. After meeting with Chirac last week in Paris, German Chancellor Angela Merkel also called for a meeting of the Mideast quartet to revive the flagging peace process.

Winston Churchill On Islam
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, The River War, in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Strong quake strikes off Taiwan coast Sun Aug 27, 9:48 PM ET
TAIPEI, Taiwan A strong earthquake struck off Taiwan's east coast Monday, the Central Weather Bureau said.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported. The magnitude 6.1 quake was
centered under the Pacific Ocean 80 miles east of Suao in northeastern Taiwan, the weather bureau said.Suao is a coastal city about 75 miles southeast of the capital of Taipei. The quake, which struck before dawn, was felt across the island but did not appear to cause major damage because of its distance, the bureau said.Quakes frequently rattle the island, but most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a magnitude-7.6 earthquake in central Taiwan in September 1999 killed more than 2,300 people.

Ernesto douses eastern Cuba en route to Florida By Anthony Boadle
1 hour, 39 minutes ago
HAVANA (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Ernesto drenched eastern Cuba on Monday and headed for the Florida Straits, where it could regain hurricane strength and hit Florida's most populous region. Ernesto, which briefly became the Atlantic season's first hurricane on Sunday, killed two people in impoverished Haiti.It then faded to a mass of showers and thunderstorms with 40 mph (64 kph) winds as it moved over Cuba, dumping up to seven inches of rain and filling reservoirs to the brim, but packing few gusts.
Forecasters said it would likely gather force from the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and be just below hurricane strength by the time it neared the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area, home to about 5 million people.The intensity forecast is for Ernesto to be very near hurricane strength at landfall,on Tuesday or early Wednesday, said Florida meteorologist Ben Nelson.
Battered by eight hurricanes in two years, Florida prepared for a pounding one year after Hurricane Katrina smacked the state on its way to the U.S. Gulf coast, where it swamped New Orleans, killed 1,500 people and caused $80 billion in damage.Hour-long lines formed at gas stations and people shopped for plywood, batteries and water across a region where Hurricane Wilma knocked out power to millions and caused $12 billion in damage just 10 months ago.
Just prepare. It's not fun and games, Mike Puto, city manager of Marathon in the Florida Keys, told residents.NASA called off the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis from Cape Canaveral this week and said the spacecraft would likely be taken off the launchpad and rolled into a hangar to to keep it safe.The storm made landfall in Cuba earlier on Monday near Guantanamo Bay, site of a U.S. naval base where several hundred suspected al Qaeda and Taliban militants are held.
CUBANS RETURN HOME
Ernesto is but a shadow of its former self,Cuban weather forecaster Jose Rubiera said shortly before Cuba lifted a hurricane warning in the provinces of Guantanamo, Santiago and Granma.
Evacuees from those areas were being returned home.Cuba had evacuated more than 600,000 people, many in buses and trucks. Cattle and crops were protected and domestic flights to eastern Cuba suspended.Ernesto's center was close to the north coast of Cuba and 60 miles east of the city of Camaguey at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), moving northwest at 13 mph (20 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.The storm's center should emerge into the Florida Straits on Monday night, the Miami-based center said.National Hurricane Center director Max Mayfield warned Floridians not to take the storm lightly even if it doesn't reach hurricane force again.It's a little academic whether you have 70 mph (113 kph), that's what we're forecasting, when you have a tropical storm, or 75 mph (120 kph) and you have a hurricane,he said. And let's not forget Katrina last year.
Katrina caused $572 million in insured damage when it crossed Florida as a Category 1 storm, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Ernesto provided a sharp reminder to residents of vulnerable U.S. coastal areas that the peak of the hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, was upon them. Florida's government declared a state of emergency and television stations cranked up coverage with reminders to fill bathtubs with water and to put up hurricane shutters. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reassured residents there would be no fuel shortages and urged them not to overreact by rushing to the pumps. Tourists were ordered out of the Florida Keys and schools and courts were closed in the low-lying, 110-mile (177-km) island chain off Florida's southern tip.
Ernesto was downgraded to a tropical storm after pounding Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas. It killed at least two people, one of them near Gonaives, a port city where tropical storm flooding killed 3,000 people two years ago. Oil prices fell over $2 on Monday after Ernesto seemed less likely to threaten oil facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, where a quarter of U.S. oil and gas is pumped.

At least 150 dead after flash floods in Indian desert state Mon Aug 28, 1:32 AM ET
BARMER, India (AFP) - At least 150 bodies have been recovered since last week following flash floods caused by heavy monsoon rains in India's desert state of Rajasthan, officials said Monday. In 11 districts of Rajasthan 150 bodies have been recovered so far, state public works minister Rajendra Singh Rathore told AFP.The toll has risen sharply since Sunday as rescue workers continue to find more bodies as flood waters fell in the normally drought-prone area, where about 100 people were still missing.The majority of the flood-related deaths occurred in Barmer district, with local police chief N.R.K. Reddy saying the toll was expected to rise.
The district, which experienced unusually heavy rains in the last 10 days, is near the border with Pakistan, or about 887 kilometres (549 miles) west of the Indian capital New Delhi.In more than a dozen villages pools of water reached depths of 18 metres (30 feet), leading state officials to ask the central government to send a task force to examine how to help drain the water.As many as 47,000 animal carcasses have been found raising fears of water-borne disease in the region, Rathore said.Earlier this month, hundreds were killed and more than 10 million people in four states were affected by floods caused by monsoon rains that sweep India from June to September and are crucial for the farm-dependent economy.Western Gujarat state faced the brunt with its diamond-polishing hub of Surat remaining under water for five days.

Rain ends 19 consecutive 100-degree days,By DAN X. McGRAW
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
FORT WORTH — The skies opened up Sunday on the Metroplex, dropping rain throughout Tarrant County and putting an end to 19 consecutive 100-degree days and could be the first signs of fall, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.
If you call Aledo right now, they’ll tell you that they are getting drowned, meteorologist Vick Corbelli shortly after 3 p.m. Fort Worth might get it in the next hour or so.The storm system, which has dumped a half-inch to an inch of rain, has been moving slowly from the northwest bringing the first drops of rain to the area since August 7th, the last day the high temperature was below 100 degrees, Corbelli said.
With the dark clouds hovering above, the Metroplex has cooled down to the lower 90s at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Today’s high topped out at 96, Corbelli said.This is the cool wave that is definitely going to break the back of this heat wave,said meteorologist Jesse Moore.There is still hot weather to come, but we’ve gotten through the worst of it now.The cooler weather might be here to stay, Corbelli said, as a northwest flow should bring lower temperatures to the Metroplex every seven to ten days.
It looks like fall might be coming out, he said.The rain is predicted to continue through the evening. There is a 60 percent chance of rain Monday with a high in the low 90s.

HOW DICTATOR DECIEVES ISRAELIS
HOW THE FUTURE DICTATOR DECIEVES THE JEWS?
In the future when this European Jewish Dictator comes on the scene,he will be a blasphemer and will decieve Israelis by saying that JESUS is not GOD. Since most of Israelis believe this already, this dictator will have no trouble decieving the Israelis in this way. He will put the true GOD OF ISRAEL JESUS DOWN and he will claim to be the true god of ISRAEL himself and will die and come back to life, then sit in the 3RD TEMPLE declaring he is the long waited MESSIAH. God says he will send a strong delution to ones that don't believe the truth (that JESUS is GOD) and be saved by JESUS' GRACE. At the mid point of the 7 yr treaty the ISRAELIS will realize they have been decieved and flee to Petra in Jordan.They realize this European Jew has been a false Messih.
As a result this Dictator nukes the World Church, (the Vatican) as well as trys to eliminate the rest of the Israelis from the face of the earth. The greatest Anti semetic purge in history this Dictator trys to do. Why? because when this Dictator dies Satan incarnates in his body and brings him back to life, and since Satan always wanted to be god and worshipped, he sets himself up in the 3RD TEMPLE AS THE MESSIAH for the last 3 1/2 years of the 7 yr treaty.
At the end of the 7 yr treaty Jesus returns to Earth bodily(as he is the true MESSIAH AND RULING KING), throws the Jewish Dictator and the False vatican pope into the Lake of Fire alive without dying. Satan is sent to the abyss for the 1000 YEAR RULE of CHRIST on EARTH. Satan is loosed at the end of the 1000 yr REIGN OF CHRIST to test the Children born during the 1000 yr rule to see if they will rebel against GOD or not. The Bible says many will rebel again and GOD destroys the final rebellion of people, Judges the Sinners (LOST) from the beggining of time, All these Sinners, Satan, Death and Hell are thrown into the Lake of fire. This is the final end of Sin on the Earth. GOD recreates the new Earth were the true Saved Christians,Jews,Muslims live forever with Christ RULING with everyone, The Garden of eden brought back to life.
Scriptures from the Bible now to prove all I said in here.

45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Revelation 13:3 (SATAN RESURRECTIONS HIM TO LIFE)
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
LIKE JESUS HAD A LITERAL RESURRECTION, THIS EU LEADER WILL ALSO AND THATS WHY HE CAN CALL HIMSELF GOD. BECAUSE THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE ITS JESUS.
1 Corinthians 15:22-23
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
GOD SENDS A STRONG DELUTION (THE FALSE RESURRECTION)
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
THIS DICTATOR CLAIMS TO BE GOD
Daniel 11:36

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

REVELATION 17:1-2,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:(VATICAN)
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.(VATICAN)
THE DICTATOR PERSECUTES ISRAELIS AND SAVED.
REVELATION 12:5-17
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.(PETRA IN JORDAN I BELIEVE)
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.(3 1/2 yrs only)
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH BODILY
REVELATION 19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
SATAN BOUND 1000 YRS
REVELATION 20:1-15
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
NEW EARTH
REVELATION 21:1-6
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Jackie Mason Sues Jews For Jesus For Using His Likeness
By Ezra HaLevi(INN)
Famed Jewish comedian and ordained rabbi Jackie Mason is suing a Christian missionary group for using his likeness and implying he has embraced the Christian deity. The Christian evangelical group, Jews for Jesus, which aims to convince Jews that the Christian faith does not conflict with Judaism, distributed a pamphlet featuring Mason’s likeness and the words, Jackie Mason…A Jew For Jesus!?
On the other side, it says: Jackie’s shtick is that there’s a difference between Jews and Gentiles, and explains why there is, in fact, no difference and Jews can embrace the Christian deity.The pamphlet is part of J4J’s recent media blitz, targeting New York area Jews in direct mailing and handing out literature on subways and street-corners. The group’s spokeswoman reportedly called on Mason to have a sense of humor about the pamphlet.I found it disgusting and obnoxious, Mason said, referring to the pamphlet. And I find it even more disgusting and obnoxious that the spokesman for that organization says, Why doesn't he have a sense of humor about it?
Mason’s lawsuit against the group seeks to see the pamphlets destroyed, and the payment of $2 million in damages and $2 million in compensation due to the damage the defamation has caused him. The pamphlet uses my name, my likeness, my `shtick' (if you will), and my very act, which is derived from my personality, to attract attention and converts,' Mason said in the suit he filed in the New York State Supreme Court. The suit alleges that the group used the comedian’s likeness to advertise a product in violation of the New York State civil rights law.First of all there's no such thing as a Jew for Jesus. If you believe in Jesus you're a Christian.
That's the point of Christianity, Mason said. You can't be a table and also a chair.Although according to Jewish law, a Jew remains a Jew regardless of his embrace of foreign faiths, the Jews for Jesus organization is largely funded and staffed by Christian-born missionaries.
In the future when this European Jewish Dictator comes on the scene,he will be a blasphemer and will decieve Israelis by saying that JESUS is not GOD. Since most of Israelis believe this already, this dictator will have no trouble decieving the Israelis in this way. He will put the true GOD OF ISRAEL JESUS DOWN and he will claim to be the true god of ISRAEL himself and will die and come back to life, then sit in the 3RD TEMPLE declaring he is the long waited MESSIAH. God says he will send a strong delution to ones that don't believe the truth (that JESUS is GOD) and be saved by JESUS' GRACE. At the mid point of the 7 yr treaty the ISRAELIS will realize they have been decieved and flee to Petra in Jordan.They realize this European Jew has been a false Messih.
As a result this Dictator nukes the World Church, (the Vatican) as well as trys to eliminate the rest of the Israelis from the face of the earth. The greatest Anti semetic purge in history this Dictator trys to do. Why? because when this Dictator dies Satan incarnates in his body and brings him back to life, and since Satan always wanted to be god and worshipped, he sets himself up in the 3RD TEMPLE AS THE MESSIAH for the last 3 1/2 years of the 7 yr treaty.
At the end of the 7 yr treaty Jesus returns to Earth bodily(as he is the true MESSIAH AND RULING KING), throws the Jewish Dictator and the False vatican pope into the Lake of Fire alive without dying. Satan is sent to the abyss for the 1000 YEAR RULE of CHRIST on EARTH. Satan is loosed at the end of the 1000 yr REIGN OF CHRIST to test the Children born during the 1000 yr rule to see if they will rebel against GOD or not. The Bible says many will rebel again and GOD destroys the final rebellion of people, Judges the Sinners (LOST) from the beggining of time, All these Sinners, Satan, Death and Hell are thrown into the Lake of fire. This is the final end of Sin on the Earth. GOD recreates the new Earth were the true Saved Christians,Jews,Muslims live forever with Christ RULING with everyone, The Garden of eden brought back to life.
Scriptures from the Bible now to prove all I said in here.
A JEWISH DICTATOR
Daniel 11:37
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
HES A BLASPHEMER
DANIEL 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
REVELATION 13:5-6
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
What is the spirit of Antichrist, it puts Jesus down exactly what this future EU Dictator will do.
1 John 2:22
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 7
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
