38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 2 PROPHET SCRIPTURES
1 KINGS 8:2-21 King James Bible
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 PROPHET SCRIPTURES
ZECHARIAH 14:1-21 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
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. 15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES.
ANYTIME DURING THE FESTIVAL
JOHN 7:1-53 King James Bible
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.

13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto the LORD.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 PROPHET SCRIPTURES
ZECHARIAH 14:1-21 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
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. 15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
SUKKOT (TABERNACLES, BOOTHS) DAY 1 NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES.
ANYTIME DURING THE FESTIVAL
JOHN 7:1-53 King James Bible
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.

Tropical Storm Karen forms in Atlantic SEPT 25,07
MIAMI - A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Karen early Tuesday in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no immediate threat to land, and a new tropical depression formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. At 11 p.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,355 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph and was expected to continue this motion over the next 24 hours.Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from Karen's center. On its current course, it is expected to hit two troughs, though forecasters are unsure how they will affect Karen.
The 13th depression of the season formed Tuesday, but remained weak, forecasters said. A tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Gulf Coast of Mexico on Wednesday. At 11 p.m. the storm was located about 165 miles east southeast of Tampico, Mexico and moving toward the west near 5 mph with top sustained winds near 30 mph.It was expected to slowly gain strength during the next 24 hours.National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
Council of Europe to vote on creationism next week By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor Tue Sep 25, 12:48 PM ET
PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's main human rights body will vote next week on a resolution opposing the teaching of creationist and intelligent design views in school science classes. The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly will debate a resolution saying attacks on the theory of evolution were rooted in forms of religious extremism and amounted to a dangerous assault on science and human rights.The resolution, on the agenda for October 4, says European schools should resist presentation of creationist ideas in any discipline other than religion. It describes the intelligent design argument as an updated version of creationism.
Anne Brasseur, an Assembly member from Luxembourg who updated an earlier draft resolution, said the vote was due in June but was postponed because some members felt the original text amounted to an attack on religious belief.
Only minor changes have been made to the initial draft.
There are different views of the creation of the world and we respect that, she told Reuters. The message we wanted to send was to avoid creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science. That's where the danger lies.The Council, based in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, oversees human rights standards in member states and enforces decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.If passed, the resolution would not be binding on its 47 member states but would reflect widespread opposition among politicians to teaching creationism in science class.
NATURAL SELECTION DROPPED
Creationism says God made the world in six days as depicted in the Bible. Intelligent design argues some life forms are too complex to have evolved according to Charles Darwin's theory and needed an unnamed higher intelligence to develop as they have.Some conservatives in the United States, both religious and secular, have long opposed the teaching of evolution in public schools but U.S. courts have regularly barred them from teaching what they describe as religious views of creation.Pressure to teach creationism is weaker in Europe, but has been mounting. An Assembly committee took up the issue because a shadowy Turkish Muslim publishing group has been sending an Islamic creationist book to schools in several countries.Supporters of intelligent design want it taught in science class alongside evolution. A U.S. court ruled this out in a landmark decision in 2005, dismissing it as neo-creationism.The aim of this report is not to question or to fight a belief, Brasseur wrote in a memorandum added to the new resolution. It is not a matter of opposing belief and science, but it is necessary to prevent belief from opposing science.She said the resolution also shortened references in the resolution to evolution by natural selection to evolution because some members had misunderstood the reference to natural selection to be an attack on their religious beliefs.
Leaders pledge restraint on gay bishops By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer SEPT 25,07
NEW ORLEANS - Episcopal leaders, pressured to roll back their support for gays to keep the world Anglican family from crumbling, affirmed Tuesday that they will exercise restraint in approving another gay bishop and will not authorize prayers to bless same-sex couples. The statement mostly reiterated earlier pledges by the church, and it will not be known for some time whether the bishops went far enough to help prevent an Anglican schism.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said she believed the document met the requests of Anglican leaders. But some Episcopal conservatives immediately rejected the statement as too weak, because it does not bar gays and lesbians from becoming bishops.
Bishops released the statement in the final hour of an intense six-day meeting and at a crucial moment in the decades-long Anglican debate over how the Bible should be interpreted.The 77-million-member world Anglican Communion has been splintering since 2003, when Episcopalians consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. The Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the U.S.Anglican leaders had set a Sunday deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop or approve an official prayer service for same-sex couples.Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, took the unusual step of attending the meeting for the first two days, pushing bishops to make concessions for the sake of unity. Anglican lay and clergy representatives from overseas also participated, scolding Episcopal leaders for the turmoil they've caused. Williams and other Anglican leaders will evaluate the statement in the coming weeks.Robinson said the talks with Williams and Anglican leaders were the two hardest days since my consecration. But he said thought the document was fair.I think people came here thinking this was going to be Katrina II, he said. And what in fact happened was a coming together of the bishops of the church.
However, Episcopal conservatives noted that many priests will still conduct same-gender blessing ceremonies, despite the lack of an official prayer. Critics also said the bishops aren't doing enough to provide alternative leadership for conservative dioceses.
This is a 'try to keep your foot in the door' maneuvering effort, said Canon Kendall Harmon, a leading conservative from the Diocese of South Carolina.Conservative Bishop John Howe of the Diocese of Central Florida said the statement wouldn't satisfy all the Anglican leaders. But Howe said most will find it acceptable.Howe is staying in the Episcopal Church, even though his diocese, based in Orlando, has rejected Jefferts Schori as a leader because she is liberal.In the document, the bishops reconfirmed a resolution passed last year by the Episcopal General Convention, urging bishops to exercise restraint by not consenting to a candidate for bishop whose manner of life presents a challenge the church and the communion.Episcopal leaders also demanded that overseas Anglican leaders stop coming into the U.S. to take oversight of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes. Anglican leaders from Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere have consecrated bishops to oversee congregations in the United States.
Four dioceses — Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.; and San Joaquin, Calif. — are taking steps to break away and align with an overseas Anglican church. And about 60 Episcopal parishes have left or have voted to leave the national church, according to the national church.The next crucial event for the communion will be the Lambeth Conference, in July in England. The once-a-decade meeting brings together all the bishops in the Anglican world.
Whether Williams can persuade bishops to attend will be a measure of the strength of the communion.Williams did not invite Robinson or a U.S.-based bishop, the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns, who leads a network of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes aligned with the Anglican Church of Nigeria. But some Anglican prelates don't want to be even at the same table as Episcopalians who consecrated Robinson. Separately, Robinson has been in private talks with the archbishop of Canterbury to find a way he can attend, as an observer perhaps, and bishops in New Orleans this week voted to support that effort.
Barak marks flawless 100 days at Israel's defence helm by Marius Schattner SEPT 25,07
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Efficient, secretive and sure of himself, former prime minister Ehud Barak has enjoyed a flawless 100 days back in government following a comeback to Israeli national politics, analysts say. Since reassuming the defence ministry portfolio on June 18 after winning the Labour party leadership, the ex-chief of staff has managed to restore Israelis' confidence in their armed forces, badly shaken after last year's inconclusive war in Lebanon, they say.In the three months that the 65-year-old has been in charge, the military has carried out several successful operations, including an air strike deep inside Syria reminiscent of some of Israel's most legendary operations.There is no doubt that Barak has returned a sentiment of security to the population with a series of successful operations, of which the last one in Syria has undoubtedly left its mark, political analyst Yaron Ezrahi told AFP.Having consolidated his leadership of the party, Barak is today in a good position to reclimb the ladder of power six years after withdrawing from public life following an election defeat in the wake of the failed Camp David summit with the Palestinians in 2000.
The professionalism of Israel's most decorated soldier contrasts sharply with the amateurism of his predecessor at defence, former trade union leader Amir Peretz who was roasted for his lack of leadership during last summer's 34-day war with the Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon.Israel has maintained an official silence over the reported September 6 raid on Syria, in which Damascus said its air defence fired at Israeli warplanes that had dropped munitions deep inside the country.But the Israeli press has still been filled with foreign media reports, most of which now say that Israel bombed a military site that contained nuclear material from North Korea -- a charge denied by both Damascus and Pyongyang.A recent article in London's Sunday Times said that commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit that Barak once headed had seized nuclear material at the site before bombing it, in a raid allegedly directed by Barak himself.As a soldier Barak took part in some of Israel's most legendary operations -- the 1972 Beirut raid against Palestinian militants in retaliation for the Munich Olympics massacre, storming a hijacked Sabena airliner at Tel Aviv in 1973 and the Entebbe hostage rescue in 1976.Barak's firm position in the security domain strengthens his popularity, Ezrahi said.
The general has also been successful in internal politics, managing to neutralise a potential threat posed by Ami Ayalon, his opponent for the Labour party leadership earlier this year, by bringing him into the government.Barak has masterly manipulated his rival Labourites, said historian and political analyst Ilan Greilsammer. Instead of dispatching with them he offered them a ministerial landing pad.Barak has also learned the lessons of his past defeats -- the failure of the Camp David peace talks in 2000, with the subsequent eruption of a major Palestinian uprising, and the election defeat to the right that followed.Back then he spoke too much, today he says nothing, said Greilsammer. He was branded as a leftist, today he is repositioning himself to the centre aiming to seduce the right-wing electorate.But the success of his first 100 days could paradoxically hurt the chances of the man once named Little Napoleon because of his arrogance returning to the pinnacle of power in Israel, according to analyst Daniel Bensimon.A good defence minister does not necessarily make a good prime minister, he said.Remaining silent over his plans is an excellent tactic for a commando chief, but not necessarily for a man who aims to lead the country.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Indonesia calls for dialogue between Palestinian factions Tue Sep 25, 7:09 PM ET
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, on Tuesday urged rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to hold a dialogue to end their differences, saying a divided community cannot secure peace and justice in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East is crucial to long term global stability, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in an address to the UN General Assembly.But, he said, there could no be no peace in the Middle East unless there was justice, especially for the Palestinian people.And a divided Palestinian nation cannot secure justice, Yudhoyono said. Hamas and Fatah must therefore engage in dialogue and reconcile their agendas.The long-standing Palestinian issue became more complicated in June with the takeover of the Gaza Strip by the Western-shunned Hamas Islamists.
The bloody takeover sank the Palestinian unity cabinet and split the Palestinians into two entities, with Hamas ruling Gaza and the Western-backed moderate president Mahmud Abbas, who leads the secular Fatah faction, based in the West Bank.Abbas sacked the Hamas-led government in the wake of the takeover and has since repeatedly said he is steadfastly opposed to any dialogue with Hamas until it returns Gaza to his authority.Hamas has been shut out of a peace summit called by the United States in the fall.
Abbas, attending the UN meeting in New York, wants the summit to cover core issues such as the possible borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of the contested holy city of Jerusalem, and the fate of Palestinian migrants.Yudhoyono also said that a revived Arab initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian crisis must catalyze political change in the region.
That initiative, first launched in 2002, offers Israel peace and normal relations with all Arab states in return for its withdrawal from the territories it occupied in the 1967 war and a just settlement for Palestinian refugees.The Arab plan was revived this year with Saudi Arabia, which has no diplomatic ties with Israel, along with the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt comprising an Arab quartet set up to promote the initiative.
Iran leader says nuclear issue closed By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer SEPT 25,07
UNITED NATIONS - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore U.N. Security Council demands and sanctions imposed by arrogant powers to curb its nuclear program. Instead, he told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that Iran has decided to pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program through its appropriate legal path, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.When Ahmadinejad was ushered to the podium, the U.S. delegation walked out, leaving only a low-ranking note-taker to listen to his speech, which indirectly accused the United States and Israel of major human rights violations. State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said the U.S. wanted to send him a powerful message.The Iranian president spoke shortly before German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned the diplomats of disastrous consequences for Israel and the world if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb. The world does not have to prove to Iran that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Iran has to convince the world that it is not striving towards such a bomb.
Hours earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the assembly that allowing Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons would be an unacceptable risk. There will not be peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of the proliferation of nuclear arms, Sarkozy said. The Iranian crisis will only be resolved if firmness and dialogue go hand-in-hand.Iran insists the program is purely peaceful, aimed solely at using nuclear reactors to generate electricity. But the United States and key European nations believe the program is a cover for an Iranian attempt to produce nuclear weapons.Ahmadinejad has defied two Security Council resolutions demanding Iran suspend enrichment and imposing escalating sanctions on key figures and organizations involved in the nuclear program. He made clear in his speech that Iran did not intend to comply with them now.In the last two years, abusing the Security Council, the arrogant powers have repeatedly accused Iran and even made military threats and imposed illegal sanctions against it, he said.Previously, they illegally insisted on politicizing the Iranian nation's nuclear case, but today, because of the resistance of the Iranian nation, the issue is back to the agency, and I officially announce that in our opinion the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and has turned into an ordinary agency matter, Ahmadinejad said.Iran has decided to pursue the issue through its appropriate legal path ... and to disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant powers, he said.IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian officials agreed in July that Tehran would answer questions from agency experts by December on more than two decades of nuclear activity — most of it secret until revealed over four years ago.
This week, IAEA technical officials returned to Tehran to to start probing outstanding questions, some with possible weapons applications. But while Iran is allowing the IAEA to inspect its known nuclear facilities, it no longer allows inspectors freedom to look elsewhere for suspicious activities on short notice as it once did.The U.S. initially opposed the plan, fearing it could draw attention away from Iran's defiance of the Security Council demand for a halt to Iranian uranium enrichment. It later endorsed the plan while emphasizing that must obey the council.A third Security Council resolution, with tougher sanctions, is being discussed. President Bush has refused to take military action off the table if Iran does not comply.Speaking to reporters later, Ahmadinejad attempted to clarify Tehran's stance.It's closed as a political issue, he said, stressing that it is a legal issue and therefore should have been examined solely within the framework of the IAEA.However, certain big powers ... have made every effort to turn a simple legal issue into a very loud, controversial, political issue, he said.All our efforts, most certainly, will be geared towards preventing sanctions, but you must know that the activities of the Security Council regarding Iran's nuclear issue are completely illegal, Ahmadinejad said. Iran was not without allies. Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega angrily chastised the U.S. for seeking to stop other countries from enriching uranium, which is allowed under the Nonproliferation Treaty.
Ortega said the United States, as the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on innocent people, had no right to question the right of Iran and North Korea to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.Earlier in the assembly's opening session, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pledged to push for lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region in the coming year, calling it one of the most challenging in the U.N.'s history. Bush spoke next and announced new sanctions against Myanmar's military dictatorship, accusing it of imposing a 19-year reign of fear that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship. But Bush barely mentioned Iran, a nation he also accuses of helping insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq. Amadinejad, whose speech at Columbia University on Monday provoked protests, was in the General Assembly chamber for Bush's speech. A U.N. diplomat in the chamber said the Iranian president listened to the secretary-general but pulled out his earpiece before Bush started to speak.
Asked about the protests and tough questions he faced at Columbia, Ahmadinejad told a press conference late Tuesday that he didn't find it to be difficult. I speak of my opinions and say what I need to say and others speak of theirs. After all, we are patient enough to listen to what even groups that are hostile to us say.
In his General Assembly speech, the Iranian leader lashed out at certain powers — an apparent reference to the United States and Israel — that violate human rights by setting up secret prisons, abducting people, holding trials and enacting secret punishments without any regard to due process, tapping phone conversations and intercepting people's private mail. They use various pretexts to occupy sovereign states and cause insecurity and division, and then use the prevailing situation as an excuse to continue their occupation, the Iranian president said. He then described how the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples have suffered under occupying forces. Referring to the U.S. government's policy on Iraq, he said: They even oppose the constitution, National Assembly and the government established by the vote of the people, while they do not even have the courage to declare their defeat and exit Iraq.In their view, human rights are tantamount to profits for their companies and friends. The rights and dignity of American people are also being sacrificed for the selfish desires of those holding power, he told the assembly.
Ahmadinejad, asked whether Iran recognized Israel as a state or believed it should be destroyed, said: We believe the Zionist regime is a usurpitive, illegal, occupational entity regime and the solution we have is that the Palestinian nation have self-determination, a free referendum.Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Ahmadinejad should not have been invited to address the General Assembly. Ahmadinejad is expanding a fanatic doctrine of genocide. He is developing nuclear weapons to achieve it, he said.Associated Press writers George Jahn in Vienna, Austria, Sarah DiLorenzo in New York, and Justin Bergman at the United Nations contributed to this report.

Tropical Storm Karen forms in Atlantic SEPT 25,07
MIAMI - A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Karen early Tuesday in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no immediate threat to land, and a new tropical depression formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. At 11 p.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,355 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph and was expected to continue this motion over the next 24 hours.Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from Karen's center. On its current course, it is expected to hit two troughs, though forecasters are unsure how they will affect Karen.
The 13th depression of the season formed Tuesday, but remained weak, forecasters said. A tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Gulf Coast of Mexico on Wednesday. At 11 p.m. the storm was located about 165 miles east southeast of Tampico, Mexico and moving toward the west near 5 mph with top sustained winds near 30 mph.It was expected to slowly gain strength during the next 24 hours.National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
Council of Europe to vote on creationism next week By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor Tue Sep 25, 12:48 PM ET
PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's main human rights body will vote next week on a resolution opposing the teaching of creationist and intelligent design views in school science classes. The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly will debate a resolution saying attacks on the theory of evolution were rooted in forms of religious extremism and amounted to a dangerous assault on science and human rights.The resolution, on the agenda for October 4, says European schools should resist presentation of creationist ideas in any discipline other than religion. It describes the intelligent design argument as an updated version of creationism.
Anne Brasseur, an Assembly member from Luxembourg who updated an earlier draft resolution, said the vote was due in June but was postponed because some members felt the original text amounted to an attack on religious belief.
Only minor changes have been made to the initial draft.
There are different views of the creation of the world and we respect that, she told Reuters. The message we wanted to send was to avoid creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science. That's where the danger lies.The Council, based in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, oversees human rights standards in member states and enforces decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.If passed, the resolution would not be binding on its 47 member states but would reflect widespread opposition among politicians to teaching creationism in science class.
NATURAL SELECTION DROPPED
Creationism says God made the world in six days as depicted in the Bible. Intelligent design argues some life forms are too complex to have evolved according to Charles Darwin's theory and needed an unnamed higher intelligence to develop as they have.Some conservatives in the United States, both religious and secular, have long opposed the teaching of evolution in public schools but U.S. courts have regularly barred them from teaching what they describe as religious views of creation.Pressure to teach creationism is weaker in Europe, but has been mounting. An Assembly committee took up the issue because a shadowy Turkish Muslim publishing group has been sending an Islamic creationist book to schools in several countries.Supporters of intelligent design want it taught in science class alongside evolution. A U.S. court ruled this out in a landmark decision in 2005, dismissing it as neo-creationism.The aim of this report is not to question or to fight a belief, Brasseur wrote in a memorandum added to the new resolution. It is not a matter of opposing belief and science, but it is necessary to prevent belief from opposing science.She said the resolution also shortened references in the resolution to evolution by natural selection to evolution because some members had misunderstood the reference to natural selection to be an attack on their religious beliefs.
Leaders pledge restraint on gay bishops By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer SEPT 25,07
NEW ORLEANS - Episcopal leaders, pressured to roll back their support for gays to keep the world Anglican family from crumbling, affirmed Tuesday that they will exercise restraint in approving another gay bishop and will not authorize prayers to bless same-sex couples. The statement mostly reiterated earlier pledges by the church, and it will not be known for some time whether the bishops went far enough to help prevent an Anglican schism.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said she believed the document met the requests of Anglican leaders. But some Episcopal conservatives immediately rejected the statement as too weak, because it does not bar gays and lesbians from becoming bishops.
Bishops released the statement in the final hour of an intense six-day meeting and at a crucial moment in the decades-long Anglican debate over how the Bible should be interpreted.The 77-million-member world Anglican Communion has been splintering since 2003, when Episcopalians consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. The Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the U.S.Anglican leaders had set a Sunday deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop or approve an official prayer service for same-sex couples.Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, took the unusual step of attending the meeting for the first two days, pushing bishops to make concessions for the sake of unity. Anglican lay and clergy representatives from overseas also participated, scolding Episcopal leaders for the turmoil they've caused. Williams and other Anglican leaders will evaluate the statement in the coming weeks.Robinson said the talks with Williams and Anglican leaders were the two hardest days since my consecration. But he said thought the document was fair.I think people came here thinking this was going to be Katrina II, he said. And what in fact happened was a coming together of the bishops of the church.
However, Episcopal conservatives noted that many priests will still conduct same-gender blessing ceremonies, despite the lack of an official prayer. Critics also said the bishops aren't doing enough to provide alternative leadership for conservative dioceses.
This is a 'try to keep your foot in the door' maneuvering effort, said Canon Kendall Harmon, a leading conservative from the Diocese of South Carolina.Conservative Bishop John Howe of the Diocese of Central Florida said the statement wouldn't satisfy all the Anglican leaders. But Howe said most will find it acceptable.Howe is staying in the Episcopal Church, even though his diocese, based in Orlando, has rejected Jefferts Schori as a leader because she is liberal.In the document, the bishops reconfirmed a resolution passed last year by the Episcopal General Convention, urging bishops to exercise restraint by not consenting to a candidate for bishop whose manner of life presents a challenge the church and the communion.Episcopal leaders also demanded that overseas Anglican leaders stop coming into the U.S. to take oversight of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes. Anglican leaders from Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere have consecrated bishops to oversee congregations in the United States.
Four dioceses — Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.; and San Joaquin, Calif. — are taking steps to break away and align with an overseas Anglican church. And about 60 Episcopal parishes have left or have voted to leave the national church, according to the national church.The next crucial event for the communion will be the Lambeth Conference, in July in England. The once-a-decade meeting brings together all the bishops in the Anglican world.
Whether Williams can persuade bishops to attend will be a measure of the strength of the communion.Williams did not invite Robinson or a U.S.-based bishop, the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns, who leads a network of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes aligned with the Anglican Church of Nigeria. But some Anglican prelates don't want to be even at the same table as Episcopalians who consecrated Robinson. Separately, Robinson has been in private talks with the archbishop of Canterbury to find a way he can attend, as an observer perhaps, and bishops in New Orleans this week voted to support that effort.
Barak marks flawless 100 days at Israel's defence helm by Marius Schattner SEPT 25,07
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Efficient, secretive and sure of himself, former prime minister Ehud Barak has enjoyed a flawless 100 days back in government following a comeback to Israeli national politics, analysts say. Since reassuming the defence ministry portfolio on June 18 after winning the Labour party leadership, the ex-chief of staff has managed to restore Israelis' confidence in their armed forces, badly shaken after last year's inconclusive war in Lebanon, they say.In the three months that the 65-year-old has been in charge, the military has carried out several successful operations, including an air strike deep inside Syria reminiscent of some of Israel's most legendary operations.There is no doubt that Barak has returned a sentiment of security to the population with a series of successful operations, of which the last one in Syria has undoubtedly left its mark, political analyst Yaron Ezrahi told AFP.Having consolidated his leadership of the party, Barak is today in a good position to reclimb the ladder of power six years after withdrawing from public life following an election defeat in the wake of the failed Camp David summit with the Palestinians in 2000.
The professionalism of Israel's most decorated soldier contrasts sharply with the amateurism of his predecessor at defence, former trade union leader Amir Peretz who was roasted for his lack of leadership during last summer's 34-day war with the Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon.Israel has maintained an official silence over the reported September 6 raid on Syria, in which Damascus said its air defence fired at Israeli warplanes that had dropped munitions deep inside the country.But the Israeli press has still been filled with foreign media reports, most of which now say that Israel bombed a military site that contained nuclear material from North Korea -- a charge denied by both Damascus and Pyongyang.A recent article in London's Sunday Times said that commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit that Barak once headed had seized nuclear material at the site before bombing it, in a raid allegedly directed by Barak himself.As a soldier Barak took part in some of Israel's most legendary operations -- the 1972 Beirut raid against Palestinian militants in retaliation for the Munich Olympics massacre, storming a hijacked Sabena airliner at Tel Aviv in 1973 and the Entebbe hostage rescue in 1976.Barak's firm position in the security domain strengthens his popularity, Ezrahi said.
The general has also been successful in internal politics, managing to neutralise a potential threat posed by Ami Ayalon, his opponent for the Labour party leadership earlier this year, by bringing him into the government.Barak has masterly manipulated his rival Labourites, said historian and political analyst Ilan Greilsammer. Instead of dispatching with them he offered them a ministerial landing pad.Barak has also learned the lessons of his past defeats -- the failure of the Camp David peace talks in 2000, with the subsequent eruption of a major Palestinian uprising, and the election defeat to the right that followed.Back then he spoke too much, today he says nothing, said Greilsammer. He was branded as a leftist, today he is repositioning himself to the centre aiming to seduce the right-wing electorate.But the success of his first 100 days could paradoxically hurt the chances of the man once named Little Napoleon because of his arrogance returning to the pinnacle of power in Israel, according to analyst Daniel Bensimon.A good defence minister does not necessarily make a good prime minister, he said.Remaining silent over his plans is an excellent tactic for a commando chief, but not necessarily for a man who aims to lead the country.

He made clear in his speech that Iran did not intend to comply with them now.In the last two years, abusing the Security Council, the arrogant powers have repeatedly accused Iran and even made military threats and imposed illegal sanctions against it, he said.Previously, they illegally insisted on politicizing the Iranian nation's nuclear case, but today, because of the resistance of the Iranian nation, the issue is back to the agency, and I officially announce that in our opinion the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and has turned into an ordinary agency matter, Ahmadinejad said.Iran has decided to pursue the issue through its appropriate legal path ... and to disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant powers, he said.IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian officials agreed in July that Tehran would answer questions from agency experts by December on more than two decades of nuclear activity — most of it secret until revealed over four years ago.
This week, IAEA technical officials returned to Tehran to to start probing outstanding questions, some with possible weapons applications. But while Iran is allowing the IAEA to inspect its known nuclear facilities, it no longer allows inspectors freedom to look elsewhere for suspicious activities on short notice as it once did.The U.S. initially opposed the plan, fearing it could draw attention away from Iran's defiance of the Security Council demand for a halt to Iranian uranium enrichment. It later endorsed the plan while emphasizing that must obey the council.A third Security Council resolution, with tougher sanctions, is being discussed. President Bush has refused to take military action off the table if Iran does not comply.Speaking to reporters later, Ahmadinejad attempted to clarify Tehran's stance.It's closed as a political issue, he said, stressing that it is a legal issue and therefore should have been examined solely within the framework of the IAEA.However, certain big powers ... have made every effort to turn a simple legal issue into a very loud, controversial, political issue, he said.All our efforts, most certainly, will be geared towards preventing sanctions, but you must know that the activities of the Security Council regarding Iran's nuclear issue are completely illegal, Ahmadinejad said. Iran was not without allies. Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega angrily chastised the U.S. for seeking to stop other countries from enriching uranium, which is allowed under the Nonproliferation Treaty.
Ortega said the United States, as the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on innocent people, had no right to question the right of Iran and North Korea to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.Earlier in the assembly's opening session, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pledged to push for lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region in the coming year, calling it one of the most challenging in the U.N.'s history. Bush spoke next and announced new sanctions against Myanmar's military dictatorship, accusing it of imposing a 19-year reign of fear that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship. But Bush barely mentioned Iran, a nation he also accuses of helping insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq. Amadinejad, whose speech at Columbia University on Monday provoked protests, was in the General Assembly chamber for Bush's speech. A U.N. diplomat in the chamber said the Iranian president listened to the secretary-general but pulled out his earpiece before Bush started to speak.
Asked about the protests and tough questions he faced at Columbia, Ahmadinejad told a press conference late Tuesday that he didn't find it to be difficult. I speak of my opinions and say what I need to say and others speak of theirs. After all, we are patient enough to listen to what even groups that are hostile to us say.
In his General Assembly speech, the Iranian leader lashed out at certain powers — an apparent reference to the United States and Israel — that violate human rights by setting up secret prisons, abducting people, holding trials and enacting secret punishments without any regard to due process, tapping phone conversations and intercepting people's private mail. They use various pretexts to occupy sovereign states and cause insecurity and division, and then use the prevailing situation as an excuse to continue their occupation, the Iranian president said. He then described how the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples have suffered under occupying forces. Referring to the U.S. government's policy on Iraq, he said: They even oppose the constitution, National Assembly and the government established by the vote of the people, while they do not even have the courage to declare their defeat and exit Iraq.In their view, human rights are tantamount to profits for their companies and friends. The rights and dignity of American people are also being sacrificed for the selfish desires of those holding power, he told the assembly.
Ahmadinejad, asked whether Iran recognized Israel as a state or believed it should be destroyed, said: We believe the Zionist regime is a usurpitive, illegal, occupational entity regime and the solution we have is that the Palestinian nation have self-determination, a free referendum.Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Ahmadinejad should not have been invited to address the General Assembly. Ahmadinejad is expanding a fanatic doctrine of genocide. He is developing nuclear weapons to achieve it, he said.Associated Press writers George Jahn in Vienna, Austria, Sarah DiLorenzo in New York, and Justin Bergman at the United Nations contributed to this report.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED
ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
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.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
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.
ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
HERE KADIMA READ THESE ABOVE SCRIPTURES YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED.
No one in Kadima is asking if J'lem will be divided, just how
By Nadav Shragai SEPT 24,07
Serious differences of opinion have erupted in Kadima over the possibility that the agreement of principles Israel is now negotiating with the Palestinians will determine the final-status deal on Jerusalem. Seven years after the Camp David summit in 2000 and the cabinet's subsequent decision to adopt, with reservations, then U.S. president Bill Clinton's plan to divide the capital, no one in Kadima is asking if Jerusalem will be redivided. The only question is how it will be redivided. Vice Premier Haim Ramon is promoting a plan to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad in which almost all Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would be subtracted from the Israeli city and become part of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. The areas inhabited by Jews, including the new neighborhoods south, north and east of the Green Line that divided the city until 1967, will remain under Israel's jurisdiction. The plan would also divide the Old City between Israeli and Palestinian sovereignty, with the Muslim and Christian Quarters under Palestinian rule, and the Armenian and Jewish Quarters under Israeli rule. Sovereignty over the Temple Mount would be divided between Palestinians and Jews as well.
Ramon proposes handing over three neighborhoods soon after the agreement of principles is signed, if Israel is convinced that the Palestinian Authority can control them: Shuafat, in northern Jerusalem, near Pisgat Ze'ev and Atarot; Suahra, on the edge of the Judean desert; and Wallijeh, a village near the Massuah neighborhood overlooking the railway to Tel Aviv. In recent weeks, however, a counter-coalition inside Kadima has sprung up, headed by MK Otniel Schneller. Schneller is unwilling to give up Israeli sovereignty over the Old City and the Temple Mount, but will accept religious management of the holy sites. He is also willing to give up neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city - mostly to the north, such as Al-Ram, Qalandiyah and Kafr Akeb (most of which are already outside the separation fence) - as well as parts of a few other neighborhoods. However, Schneller stays away from calling his plan division. He will not accept any substantial concession on the Temple Mount and demands that in the final Jerusalem arrangement, space be allocated on the Temple Mount for Jewish prayer - a demand former prime minister Ehud Barak raised at Camp David in 2000. Schneller believes that decisions about the future of Jerusalem should be made by representatives of the entire Jewish people, not just the Israeli public. He also believes that if the Ramon plan is adopted, Kadima will disintegrate, as many parliamentarians will be unable to support it. Kadima's mayoral candidate in the capital, businessman Nir Barkat, has already said that he is considering leaving the party due to the Ramon plan. Barkat wrote to Ramon this week saying that he had not been authorized by either the government or the party to propose plans on Jerusalem, and that Jerusalem and the rest of the country are entitled to know if this is the new Kadima position, and whether Ramon is acting on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's authority.
That, in a nutshell, is the key question: What does Olmert think? Back when he was mayor of Jerusalem, Olmert rejected any proposal for division - of the Temple Mount, the Old City or East Jerusalem as a whole. But Olmert is remaining mum, and his associates say that Ramon has permission but not authority. Many politicians believe this obscurantist formula means that Olmert is using Ramon's plan as a trial balloon. If it does not explode, Olmert is likely to adopt large sections of the plan. The battle inside Kadima over whether Jerusalem will be divided has already been decided. The question now is how - and also whether the party, as Ramon has, will call the spade a spade: division.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Russian communists say Putin more powerful than Tsar By Dmitry Zhdannikov
Sat Sep 22, 4:09 PM ET
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The leader of Russia's Communist Party accused President Vladimir Putin on Saturday of piling up vast powers and said the Kremlin's main party represented billionaires rather than ordinary people. He (President Vladimir Putin) has more power today than the Pharaoh of Egypt, the Tsar, and the Soviet Union's General Secretary combined, veteran Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told a party congress on the outskirts of Moscow.He has four times more power than the quite powerful president of the United States, said Zyuganov, whose party is the country's number two political force with 162,000 members.Zyuganov said his party, the successor to the all-powerful Soviet Communists, hoped to win at least a fifth of seats in elections this December for the State Duma (lower house of parliament). It currently has just over 10 percent of deputies.The Duma is dominated by United Russia, a party patronized by Putin, which enjoys a two-thirds majority.
Zyuganov said he was the only real opponent of the Kremlin and added he was gaining new supporters as voters were getting bored with unfulfilled promises from United Russia, which he said represented the rich, with over 30 billionaires among its Duma members.They (United Russia) have billionaires. We have millions (of supporters) behind us, he added.The December elections will be closely watched as a dress rehearsal for a presidential vote next March.The most recent poll by the independent Yuri Levada Centre showed this week that the Communists could gain 18 percent of seats in December, while United Russia would secure 55 percent.Another pro-Kremlin party, Fair Russia, would get seven percent and the nationalist LDPR, which often votes with the government, would gain 11 percent.The Communists used to dominate the Duma in the 1990s during the turbulent years of Boris Yeltsin's presidency.But as Russia's oil-fuelled economy booms, the Communists face a tough political challenge to win back popularity.The Communists have complained they are not getting a fair share of airtime on television, which is dominated by pro-Kremlin parties. However Putin met Zyuganov this week to discuss the elections and Zyuganov's Saturday speech was aired live on the state television channel Vesti-24.
MOOD LIFTED BY WINS
Zyuganov said the mood in the Communists' camp had been lifted by wins this year in regional elections, which he said had shown that the dominance of United Russia can be broken.In (the east Siberian region of) Krasnoyarsk, where the results usually coincide with the whole country, we had 20-22 percent. And in some regions we had over 30 percent. Let's be guided by these figures..., he told delegates.He also denounced analysts' observations that his electorate was shrinking as it was mostly composed of elderly people.The most educated part of our society is voting today for the Communists. And young people are turning up every day, he said, adding that his goal was to win the undecided votes. On Saturday, Zyuganov again denounced what he termed a black propaganda campaign to discredit himself by falsely accusing him of excessive drinking and paying a huge bill for an adult pay TV channel while on holiday in Ukraine. Zyuganov did not run for president in 2004 when Putin was re-elected by more than 70 percent of votes. The outspoken Communist did not say if he would run for president in March 2008, when Putin must step down after two consecutive terms. Putin, who has huge influence over voters because of his very high poll ratings, has yet to say whom he will back.

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.

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
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.
EU should think about buying US dollars says German economic advisor Bofinger 23-September-2007 15:49:10
FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - The European Union should consider buying large amounts of US dollars in an effort to prop up the currency and limit negative effects of strong euro on growth rates and job losses, said Peter Bofinger, a member of the German government's five wise men panel of economic advisors. Bofinger told Spiegel magazine that while the European Central Bank is traditionally against intervention to influence exchange rates and is almost solely interested in inflation rates, the full independence (of the ECB) is only binding for interest rate decisions. According to EU regulations, the advisors to the ECB could target a general orientation for foreign currency rates as long as it does not interfere with the central bank's overriding goal of price stability, the magazine said. The exchange rate is not some natural phenomenon that we must look on with rigid horror, without acting, Bofinger said.
On Friday, the dollar slumped to a fresh all-time low against the euro, sending the single currency above 1.41 usd briefly. The dollar has been under pressure ever since the Fed delivered a a hefty half point rate reduction on Tuesday, taking the base rate to 4.75 pct. Speculation that oil-rich Saudi Arabia may remove the riyal's peg to the dollar has also weighed on the US currency. Tyler.Sitte@thomson.com
Shalom dear Intercessors SEPT 25,07
Numbers 10:9 - When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the shofars. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.
Israel has entered into this years Fall Feast season, (Yom Ha Truah / Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement, Succot / Feast of Tabernacles) a time of reflection, repentance and rejoicing. However we have also entered into a solemn time of pending war with our surrounding enemies. Also we still have a corrupt and godless Government that continues to grow weaker and is drowning under the spell and control of the USA, as they pressure and manipulate the leaders of our Government to give back land, to declare and implement a Palestinian State. They also plan to give back at least half of Jerusalem, evacuate 250,000 Jews from their West Bank homes in the very close future (November is the set date), and to allow 3 million Arabs to enter into Israel .
The God of Israel has always called upon one man and a remnant of people to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. In the days of old, He called upon Moses, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Ezra and many others to intercede for His people and His nation, Israel. If we read the history in the Tenach, we see that God heard and answered those intercessors as they stood in the gap and pleaded before the God of Israel to deliver, save, and redeem Israel from her enemies. We, Intercessors for the Restoration of Israel, and thousands of other intercessors in Israel and around the world, are the God of Israel's intercessors for today. And today for Israel, it is as crucial as it was in the time of Moses, as he stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go, the ocean before him and the enemies of Israel banking up behind him. It is a time for Israel to stand firm on the promises of God and to look to no one else but Him to deliver us.
Moses looked up, prayed, held up his sceptor and a miracle happened - we all know the story.
We have our sceptor for today, the Word of the Lord. As we look up to our God, I want to ask all of you that are on our intercessory prayer team, to please come before the God of Israel daily. Below are two news articles to give you some facts on the ground. Following the news items are some scriptures to proclaim, decree, pronounce, and bring before the Lord. Also some suggested prayer guidelines,
along with of course whatever else the Holy Spirit gives you. Please take the time to read these articles, as it is imperative that we know what is going on in the natural in order to pray effectively
Our intercessions can avert the plans of man and change the hearts of kings (Prime Ministers, Presidents, those in leadership) - All thru the Tenach, it shows us how the God of Israel changed the hearts of the leaders of Israel's enemies at that time to suit His plans and purposes for Israel and to deal with Israel's enemies. - e.g. Pharoah, Cyrus King of Persia, the enemies in Joshua's day, Sennacherib the Philistines, Goliath, and many others. The God of Israel had their hearts in His hand and He changed them as He desired.
Olmert: Declaration of Intent, not Principles
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert now says that he is no longer working to formulate an agreement of principles with Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. Instead, he hopes to have a joint declaration of intentions ready in time for the international Middle East summit two months from now. The weekly Makor Rishon newspaper reported ten days ago that Olmert was working on a new approach - one that would obligate Israel even if the summit itself - sponsored and promoted by the United States - does not produce an agreement. Olmert was striving to reach a document of principles on which he and Abu Mazen would agree to use as the basis for their future negotiations. Such principles, Makor Rishon reported, included the following:
the division of Jerusalem into Jewish and Arab cities, and the removal of Israel's sovereignty from the Temple Mount. (As Mayor of Jerusalem in the 1990s, Olmert earned much political capital when he accused his political rival, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, of wanting to divide Jerusalem.)
the establishment of a Palestinian state on approximately 95% of Judea and Samaria
border changes - i.e., a hand-over of other Israeli territory to make up for three settlement blocs (Ariel, Maaleh Adumim, Gush Etzion) that is to remain in Israeli hands.
Israel's declarative assumption of responsibility for the formation of the Arab refugee problem of 1948, though without operative ramifications Makor Rishon reported that it was unclear whether the PA had agreed to Israel's cardinal demand that the agreement would represent the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Another version of the above was published by the PA's Maan news agency last week, and included the clause that the evacuation of Judea and Samaria would begin immediately after the summit - just two months from now. However, this version was denied by both Israel and the PA.
Olmert has said that he will bring any agreement he reaches with Abbas to the government for its approval, and that the Knesset can ask to debate the issue as well. He did not say whether Knesset approval would be necessary. On the other hand, it is known that Olmert worked to keep the negotiations as secret as possible, hoping to avoid any public discourse and debate. For this reason, no rough copies or interim documents were formulated.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE
REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will March on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David
The Faithful will make their pilgrimage of Sukkot and demonstrate against the evil anti-godly plans of the weak Prime Minister of Israel and the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to divide the land of Israel, to found a “Palestinian” terror state and to make the Biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as a “Palestinian” capitol
This is a revolt and evil in the eyes of the G–d of Israel and He will never allow it
Everyone is called to take part in this very important event at a very critical time
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will march on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David. At 8:30 a.m. we shall march up to the Temple Mount to make the pilgrimage of this feast as G-d commanded us in His word. After 1,937 years of destruction the children of Israel will pilgrimage again to the holy hill of G-d in Jerusalem with a deep prayer in their hearts to make this pilgrimage next year in the rebuilt Temple of G-d. At 9:30 we shall march to the Hulda Gates located on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount, calling the Israeli Government to immediately open these holy gates which were the main entrance of millions of Israelis in the biblical times and were named for the great prophetess Hulda who prophesied in the First Temple age. In this holy place we shall also demonstrate against the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to give away the Temple Mount and the sovereignty of Israel in this most holy place of Israel to the so called “Palestinian Authorities” and to put on the Dome of the Rock, the location of the Holy of Holies of the Temple, a “Palestinian “ flag. As it looks the weak Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, is going to surrender to this pressure. These terrible evil plans also include the division of Jerusalem , the eternal capitol of Israel and to found a “Palestinian” capitol in the biblical Jerusalem , the City of David, that will be the capitol of a “Palestinian” state that they together plan to found in the most biblical areas of the land of Israel, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
These anti-godly evil plans are a terrible revolt against G-d who gave the land of Israel to His chosen people Israel for a purpose and to be the land where He Himself will dwell among His people Israel. He chose Jerusalem to be His capitol and the eternal capitol of His people Israel . Thousands of years ago He chose and anointed Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, to be His holy hill where His people Israel will build for Him the holy Temple where He will dwell among His people exactly as He commanded them: “Build me a Temple and I will dwell among you” (Exodus 25:8). On this holy hill existed the First Temple of G-d, built by King Solomon 3,000 years ago that was destroyed by the Babylonians in the year 586 BCE and the Second Temple built in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE. Now the G–d of Israel is expecting and calling His people Israel to immediately build the Third Temple so that He can again dwell among His people Israel and among all His creation, as the prophet Isaiah prophesied: “My house will be a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 2: 1-5 and Isaiah 56: 5&7).
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will demonstrate mainly against the Prime Minister of Israel and his anti-godly and anti-Israeli plans. It never before happened that an Israeli leader will give away the Temple Mount, the biblical Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel to foreigners and enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel like the evil cruel so called “Palestinians” that invaded the land of Israel and are for more than 100 years making wars against the people of G-d with one intention and goal: To make it another Islamic country and state. It is a shame and a tragedy which never happened in the 4,000 year history of the people of G-d. And I am aware of the judgement of G-d that will come on all the partners of these evil plans and their nations. Tens of millions of Jews gave their lives to protect the Temple Mount of G-d, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel or when they fought to liberate these holy places from foreign evil control. The G–d and the people of Israel will not allow it now to happen especially after the G–d of Israel regathered His people back to the land of Israel from all the corners of the world, reestablished for them the Kingdom of Israel and His Kingdom in the holy land, made Jerusalem again the eternal capitol of Himself and Israel and in 1967 returned the biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount to Israel to immediately rebuild His holy Temple. All these end-time godly events were a part of G-d’s plan to redeem Israel and through Israel to redeem all the world. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement will very clearly state and swear in front of the holy hill of G-d that they will give their lives to avoid this evil and criminal plans. We shall swear like our forefathers: “If I will forget you Jerusalem I will forget my right hand...” and that the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel will never fall again and that from here we shall never move and again be taken from.
After the demonstration in front of the Hulda Gates of the Temple Mount we shall march with the Israeli flags with the Star of David to the ancient City of David calling the people of Israel not to allow Olmert to divide Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel and to bring to pass this terrible crime of giving away the Temple Mount, the heart and the soul of Israel, to the most cruel enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel. At the end of this march we shall arrive at the ancient Siloam Pool that was just recently discovered where we shall make the traditional ceremony of the “Beit Shoevah Celebration” and “Nisuch HaMay’im” ceremony, exactly as our forefathers did when the Temple existed. They used to pull the water with prayers for a blessed year with rains and to pour the holy water on the alter in the Temple together with exciting thank prayers to the G–d of Israel for the blessings that He poured on His people Israel and the land that He gave them.
This is going to be a major godly and important event which will bring to the attention of everyone the godly significance of this special time that we are experiencing now and expectations of the G–d of Israel from His people to keep and protect the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the holy land that He gave them from any dangerous evil plans. We are going on Sukkot to the Temple Mount and the City of David to protect the heart and the soul of te G-d and the people Israel and all the world and to save the holy location of the Temple from evil pagan hands. We are going to call the people of Israel and her friends all over the world to remove the enemy from the holy Temple Mount of G-d and to immediately rebuild the Temple as G-d is calling us to do.
Everyone is called to participate in this major event of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and to be a part of a major historical event that will be an important stage and step towards the rebuilding of the Temple and the completion of G-d’s end-time plans. We are calling everyone to stand with the Faithful Movement and to help her to bring to pass all the end-time plans of the G–d of Israel in our lifetime.
May the G-d of Israel bless you and all our friends with a new blessed year to you and to your families. May G-d make the coming year the year of the rebuilding of His Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David.
With deep appreciation and love to all of you,

JERUSALEM DIVIDED
ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
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.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
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.
ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
HERE KADIMA READ THESE ABOVE SCRIPTURES YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED.
No one in Kadima is asking if J'lem will be divided, just how
By Nadav Shragai SEPT 24,07
Serious differences of opinion have erupted in Kadima over the possibility that the agreement of principles Israel is now negotiating with the Palestinians will determine the final-status deal on Jerusalem. Seven years after the Camp David summit in 2000 and the cabinet's subsequent decision to adopt, with reservations, then U.S. president Bill Clinton's plan to divide the capital, no one in Kadima is asking if Jerusalem will be redivided. The only question is how it will be redivided. Vice Premier Haim Ramon is promoting a plan to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad in which almost all Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would be subtracted from the Israeli city and become part of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. The areas inhabited by Jews, including the new neighborhoods south, north and east of the Green Line that divided the city until 1967, will remain under Israel's jurisdiction. The plan would also divide the Old City between Israeli and Palestinian sovereignty, with the Muslim and Christian Quarters under Palestinian rule, and the Armenian and Jewish Quarters under Israeli rule. Sovereignty over the Temple Mount would be divided between Palestinians and Jews as well.
Ramon proposes handing over three neighborhoods soon after the agreement of principles is signed, if Israel is convinced that the Palestinian Authority can control them: Shuafat, in northern Jerusalem, near Pisgat Ze'ev and Atarot; Suahra, on the edge of the Judean desert; and Wallijeh, a village near the Massuah neighborhood overlooking the railway to Tel Aviv. In recent weeks, however, a counter-coalition inside Kadima has sprung up, headed by MK Otniel Schneller. Schneller is unwilling to give up Israeli sovereignty over the Old City and the Temple Mount, but will accept religious management of the holy sites. He is also willing to give up neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city - mostly to the north, such as Al-Ram, Qalandiyah and Kafr Akeb (most of which are already outside the separation fence) - as well as parts of a few other neighborhoods. However, Schneller stays away from calling his plan division. He will not accept any substantial concession on the Temple Mount and demands that in the final Jerusalem arrangement, space be allocated on the Temple Mount for Jewish prayer - a demand former prime minister Ehud Barak raised at Camp David in 2000. Schneller believes that decisions about the future of Jerusalem should be made by representatives of the entire Jewish people, not just the Israeli public. He also believes that if the Ramon plan is adopted, Kadima will disintegrate, as many parliamentarians will be unable to support it. Kadima's mayoral candidate in the capital, businessman Nir Barkat, has already said that he is considering leaving the party due to the Ramon plan. Barkat wrote to Ramon this week saying that he had not been authorized by either the government or the party to propose plans on Jerusalem, and that Jerusalem and the rest of the country are entitled to know if this is the new Kadima position, and whether Ramon is acting on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's authority.
That, in a nutshell, is the key question: What does Olmert think? Back when he was mayor of Jerusalem, Olmert rejected any proposal for division - of the Temple Mount, the Old City or East Jerusalem as a whole. But Olmert is remaining mum, and his associates say that Ramon has permission but not authority. Many politicians believe this obscurantist formula means that Olmert is using Ramon's plan as a trial balloon. If it does not explode, Olmert is likely to adopt large sections of the plan. The battle inside Kadima over whether Jerusalem will be divided has already been decided. The question now is how - and also whether the party, as Ramon has, will call the spade a spade: division.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)

Russian communists say Putin more powerful than Tsar By Dmitry Zhdannikov
Sat Sep 22, 4:09 PM ET
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The leader of Russia's Communist Party accused President Vladimir Putin on Saturday of piling up vast powers and said the Kremlin's main party represented billionaires rather than ordinary people. He (President Vladimir Putin) has more power today than the Pharaoh of Egypt, the Tsar, and the Soviet Union's General Secretary combined, veteran Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told a party congress on the outskirts of Moscow.He has four times more power than the quite powerful president of the United States, said Zyuganov, whose party is the country's number two political force with 162,000 members.Zyuganov said his party, the successor to the all-powerful Soviet Communists, hoped to win at least a fifth of seats in elections this December for the State Duma (lower house of parliament). It currently has just over 10 percent of deputies.The Duma is dominated by United Russia, a party patronized by Putin, which enjoys a two-thirds majority.
Zyuganov said he was the only real opponent of the Kremlin and added he was gaining new supporters as voters were getting bored with unfulfilled promises from United Russia, which he said represented the rich, with over 30 billionaires among its Duma members.They (United Russia) have billionaires. We have millions (of supporters) behind us, he added.The December elections will be closely watched as a dress rehearsal for a presidential vote next March.The most recent poll by the independent Yuri Levada Centre showed this week that the Communists could gain 18 percent of seats in December, while United Russia would secure 55 percent.Another pro-Kremlin party, Fair Russia, would get seven percent and the nationalist LDPR, which often votes with the government, would gain 11 percent.The Communists used to dominate the Duma in the 1990s during the turbulent years of Boris Yeltsin's presidency.But as Russia's oil-fuelled economy booms, the Communists face a tough political challenge to win back popularity.The Communists have complained they are not getting a fair share of airtime on television, which is dominated by pro-Kremlin parties. However Putin met Zyuganov this week to discuss the elections and Zyuganov's Saturday speech was aired live on the state television channel Vesti-24.
MOOD LIFTED BY WINS
Zyuganov said the mood in the Communists' camp had been lifted by wins this year in regional elections, which he said had shown that the dominance of United Russia can be broken.In (the east Siberian region of) Krasnoyarsk, where the results usually coincide with the whole country, we had 20-22 percent. And in some regions we had over 30 percent. Let's be guided by these figures..., he told delegates.He also denounced analysts' observations that his electorate was shrinking as it was mostly composed of elderly people.The most educated part of our society is voting today for the Communists. And young people are turning up every day, he said, adding that his goal was to win the undecided votes. On Saturday, Zyuganov again denounced what he termed a black propaganda campaign to discredit himself by falsely accusing him of excessive drinking and paying a huge bill for an adult pay TV channel while on holiday in Ukraine. Zyuganov did not run for president in 2004 when Putin was re-elected by more than 70 percent of votes. The outspoken Communist did not say if he would run for president in March 2008, when Putin must step down after two consecutive terms. Putin, who has huge influence over voters because of his very high poll ratings, has yet to say whom he will back.
HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER
DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.
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.
REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
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.
EU should think about buying US dollars says German economic advisor Bofinger 23-September-2007 15:49:10
FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - The European Union should consider buying large amounts of US dollars in an effort to prop up the currency and limit negative effects of strong euro on growth rates and job losses, said Peter Bofinger, a member of the German government's five wise men panel of economic advisors. Bofinger told Spiegel magazine that while the European Central Bank is traditionally against intervention to influence exchange rates and is almost solely interested in inflation rates, the full independence (of the ECB) is only binding for interest rate decisions. According to EU regulations, the advisors to the ECB could target a general orientation for foreign currency rates as long as it does not interfere with the central bank's overriding goal of price stability, the magazine said. The exchange rate is not some natural phenomenon that we must look on with rigid horror, without acting, Bofinger said.
On Friday, the dollar slumped to a fresh all-time low against the euro, sending the single currency above 1.41 usd briefly. The dollar has been under pressure ever since the Fed delivered a a hefty half point rate reduction on Tuesday, taking the base rate to 4.75 pct. Speculation that oil-rich Saudi Arabia may remove the riyal's peg to the dollar has also weighed on the US currency. Tyler.Sitte@thomson.com
Shalom dear Intercessors SEPT 25,07
Numbers 10:9 - When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the shofars. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.
Israel has entered into this years Fall Feast season, (Yom Ha Truah / Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement, Succot / Feast of Tabernacles) a time of reflection, repentance and rejoicing. However we have also entered into a solemn time of pending war with our surrounding enemies. Also we still have a corrupt and godless Government that continues to grow weaker and is drowning under the spell and control of the USA, as they pressure and manipulate the leaders of our Government to give back land, to declare and implement a Palestinian State. They also plan to give back at least half of Jerusalem, evacuate 250,000 Jews from their West Bank homes in the very close future (November is the set date), and to allow 3 million Arabs to enter into Israel .
The God of Israel has always called upon one man and a remnant of people to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. In the days of old, He called upon Moses, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Ezra and many others to intercede for His people and His nation, Israel. If we read the history in the Tenach, we see that God heard and answered those intercessors as they stood in the gap and pleaded before the God of Israel to deliver, save, and redeem Israel from her enemies. We, Intercessors for the Restoration of Israel, and thousands of other intercessors in Israel and around the world, are the God of Israel's intercessors for today. And today for Israel, it is as crucial as it was in the time of Moses, as he stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go, the ocean before him and the enemies of Israel banking up behind him. It is a time for Israel to stand firm on the promises of God and to look to no one else but Him to deliver us.
Moses looked up, prayed, held up his sceptor and a miracle happened - we all know the story.
We have our sceptor for today, the Word of the Lord. As we look up to our God, I want to ask all of you that are on our intercessory prayer team, to please come before the God of Israel daily. Below are two news articles to give you some facts on the ground. Following the news items are some scriptures to proclaim, decree, pronounce, and bring before the Lord. Also some suggested prayer guidelines,
along with of course whatever else the Holy Spirit gives you. Please take the time to read these articles, as it is imperative that we know what is going on in the natural in order to pray effectively
Our intercessions can avert the plans of man and change the hearts of kings (Prime Ministers, Presidents, those in leadership) - All thru the Tenach, it shows us how the God of Israel changed the hearts of the leaders of Israel's enemies at that time to suit His plans and purposes for Israel and to deal with Israel's enemies. - e.g. Pharoah, Cyrus King of Persia, the enemies in Joshua's day, Sennacherib the Philistines, Goliath, and many others. The God of Israel had their hearts in His hand and He changed them as He desired.
Olmert: Declaration of Intent, not Principles
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert now says that he is no longer working to formulate an agreement of principles with Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. Instead, he hopes to have a joint declaration of intentions ready in time for the international Middle East summit two months from now. The weekly Makor Rishon newspaper reported ten days ago that Olmert was working on a new approach - one that would obligate Israel even if the summit itself - sponsored and promoted by the United States - does not produce an agreement. Olmert was striving to reach a document of principles on which he and Abu Mazen would agree to use as the basis for their future negotiations. Such principles, Makor Rishon reported, included the following:
the division of Jerusalem into Jewish and Arab cities, and the removal of Israel's sovereignty from the Temple Mount. (As Mayor of Jerusalem in the 1990s, Olmert earned much political capital when he accused his political rival, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, of wanting to divide Jerusalem.)
the establishment of a Palestinian state on approximately 95% of Judea and Samaria
border changes - i.e., a hand-over of other Israeli territory to make up for three settlement blocs (Ariel, Maaleh Adumim, Gush Etzion) that is to remain in Israeli hands.
Israel's declarative assumption of responsibility for the formation of the Arab refugee problem of 1948, though without operative ramifications Makor Rishon reported that it was unclear whether the PA had agreed to Israel's cardinal demand that the agreement would represent the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Another version of the above was published by the PA's Maan news agency last week, and included the clause that the evacuation of Judea and Samaria would begin immediately after the summit - just two months from now. However, this version was denied by both Israel and the PA.
Olmert has said that he will bring any agreement he reaches with Abbas to the government for its approval, and that the Knesset can ask to debate the issue as well. He did not say whether Knesset approval would be necessary. On the other hand, it is known that Olmert worked to keep the negotiations as secret as possible, hoping to avoid any public discourse and debate. For this reason, no rough copies or interim documents were formulated.

They will destroy and overcome with slingstones, they will drink and roar as with wine, they will be full like a bowl used for sprinkling the corners of the altar. The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people ...............
Pray that the Lord will prepare a new government that will move in righteous ways
Pray that Olmert will be totally changed or removed from his place of power and authority in this nation - and that God will appoint His appointed shepherd/s that He promised in Jeremiah 3
Pray that Bush's, Olmert's and Abbas's plans of darkness will be brought into the light
Pray that our northern border especially, but also the southern border, will be angelically and supernaturally protected.
Pray that the God of Israel will not allow Israel to agree to a Palestinian state in His land.
Pray that what our enemies have prepared for Israel, will return back on their own heads.
Pray that whatever happens here in the land of Israel, He will use it for His plans and purposes to work in the lives of His people, to turn to Him to bring repentance, and call upon Him
Please also remember to pray daily for our IDF - including our son Jordan and his best friend Avi, who are both in combat units. Most of the IDF have been doing full scale simulation war drills over the last few months in preparedness for war and are all on high alert in northern Israel, but also in the West Bank area.
Pray that the Lord will reveal to our IDF intelligence any enemy plans - Pray that our IDF leaders will be given great wisdom and strategy, pray for success in ALL missions - air and ground.
Thank you all and bless you all and may the Lord strengthen you as you commit to faithfully offer up daily your intercessions to our Father in Heaven, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Elohei Israel (the God of Israel).

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE
REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will March on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David
The Faithful will make their pilgrimage of Sukkot and demonstrate against the evil anti-godly plans of the weak Prime Minister of Israel and the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to divide the land of Israel, to found a “Palestinian” terror state and to make the Biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as a “Palestinian” capitol
This is a revolt and evil in the eyes of the G–d of Israel and He will never allow it
Everyone is called to take part in this very important event at a very critical time
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will march on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) 18 Tishrei 5768 - September 30, 2007 to the Temple Mount and the City of David. At 8:30 a.m. we shall march up to the Temple Mount to make the pilgrimage of this feast as G-d commanded us in His word. After 1,937 years of destruction the children of Israel will pilgrimage again to the holy hill of G-d in Jerusalem with a deep prayer in their hearts to make this pilgrimage next year in the rebuilt Temple of G-d. At 9:30 we shall march to the Hulda Gates located on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount, calling the Israeli Government to immediately open these holy gates which were the main entrance of millions of Israelis in the biblical times and were named for the great prophetess Hulda who prophesied in the First Temple age. In this holy place we shall also demonstrate against the pressure coming from President Bush and Condoleezza Rice on Israel to give away the Temple Mount and the sovereignty of Israel in this most holy place of Israel to the so called “Palestinian Authorities” and to put on the Dome of the Rock, the location of the Holy of Holies of the Temple, a “Palestinian “ flag. As it looks the weak Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, is going to surrender to this pressure. These terrible evil plans also include the division of Jerusalem , the eternal capitol of Israel and to found a “Palestinian” capitol in the biblical Jerusalem , the City of David, that will be the capitol of a “Palestinian” state that they together plan to found in the most biblical areas of the land of Israel, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
These anti-godly evil plans are a terrible revolt against G-d who gave the land of Israel to His chosen people Israel for a purpose and to be the land where He Himself will dwell among His people Israel. He chose Jerusalem to be His capitol and the eternal capitol of His people Israel . Thousands of years ago He chose and anointed Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, to be His holy hill where His people Israel will build for Him the holy Temple where He will dwell among His people exactly as He commanded them: “Build me a Temple and I will dwell among you” (Exodus 25:8). On this holy hill existed the First Temple of G-d, built by King Solomon 3,000 years ago that was destroyed by the Babylonians in the year 586 BCE and the Second Temple built in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE. Now the G–d of Israel is expecting and calling His people Israel to immediately build the Third Temple so that He can again dwell among His people Israel and among all His creation, as the prophet Isaiah prophesied: “My house will be a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 2: 1-5 and Isaiah 56: 5&7).
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will demonstrate mainly against the Prime Minister of Israel and his anti-godly and anti-Israeli plans. It never before happened that an Israeli leader will give away the Temple Mount, the biblical Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel to foreigners and enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel like the evil cruel so called “Palestinians” that invaded the land of Israel and are for more than 100 years making wars against the people of G-d with one intention and goal: To make it another Islamic country and state. It is a shame and a tragedy which never happened in the 4,000 year history of the people of G-d. And I am aware of the judgement of G-d that will come on all the partners of these evil plans and their nations. Tens of millions of Jews gave their lives to protect the Temple Mount of G-d, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel or when they fought to liberate these holy places from foreign evil control. The G–d and the people of Israel will not allow it now to happen especially after the G–d of Israel regathered His people back to the land of Israel from all the corners of the world, reestablished for them the Kingdom of Israel and His Kingdom in the holy land, made Jerusalem again the eternal capitol of Himself and Israel and in 1967 returned the biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount to Israel to immediately rebuild His holy Temple. All these end-time godly events were a part of G-d’s plan to redeem Israel and through Israel to redeem all the world. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement will very clearly state and swear in front of the holy hill of G-d that they will give their lives to avoid this evil and criminal plans. We shall swear like our forefathers: “If I will forget you Jerusalem I will forget my right hand...” and that the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel will never fall again and that from here we shall never move and again be taken from.
After the demonstration in front of the Hulda Gates of the Temple Mount we shall march with the Israeli flags with the Star of David to the ancient City of David calling the people of Israel not to allow Olmert to divide Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel and to bring to pass this terrible crime of giving away the Temple Mount, the heart and the soul of Israel, to the most cruel enemies of the G–d and the people of Israel. At the end of this march we shall arrive at the ancient Siloam Pool that was just recently discovered where we shall make the traditional ceremony of the “Beit Shoevah Celebration” and “Nisuch HaMay’im” ceremony, exactly as our forefathers did when the Temple existed. They used to pull the water with prayers for a blessed year with rains and to pour the holy water on the alter in the Temple together with exciting thank prayers to the G–d of Israel for the blessings that He poured on His people Israel and the land that He gave them.
This is going to be a major godly and important event which will bring to the attention of everyone the godly significance of this special time that we are experiencing now and expectations of the G–d of Israel from His people to keep and protect the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the holy land that He gave them from any dangerous evil plans. We are going on Sukkot to the Temple Mount and the City of David to protect the heart and the soul of te G-d and the people Israel and all the world and to save the holy location of the Temple from evil pagan hands. We are going to call the people of Israel and her friends all over the world to remove the enemy from the holy Temple Mount of G-d and to immediately rebuild the Temple as G-d is calling us to do.
Everyone is called to participate in this major event of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and to be a part of a major historical event that will be an important stage and step towards the rebuilding of the Temple and the completion of G-d’s end-time plans. We are calling everyone to stand with the Faithful Movement and to help her to bring to pass all the end-time plans of the G–d of Israel in our lifetime.
May the G-d of Israel bless you and all our friends with a new blessed year to you and to your families. May G-d make the coming year the year of the rebuilding of His Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David.
With deep appreciation and love to all of you,
Gershon Salomon
Chairman, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
