Sabbath 11/9/35/120

Dear Friends,

On the night of Monday 18 November, thus last week, hundreds of people packed a Jewish community hall in Perth wearing red to symbolise the code red signals when rockets are launched on Israel. Similar rallies were held in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. The rallies were to call for a permanent end to the constant rocket attacks that have been launched on Israel over the last three months or more.

The Rabbi read out Psalm 20 to tears in the congregation.

Psalm 20
[0] To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
[1] The LORD answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you! [2] May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion! [3] May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! [Selah] [4] May he grant you your heart's desire, and fulfil all your plans! [5] May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfil all your petitions! [6] Now I know that the LORD will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand. [7] Some boast of chariots, and some of horses; but we boast of the name of the LORD our God. [8] They will collapse and fall; but we shall rise and stand upright. [9] Give victory to the king, O LORD; answer us when we call.

Australian and US politicians have stated that Israel had a clear right to defend itself. They expressed the view that Israel had a right to solidarity with our people.

In protest against rocket fire from Gaza, Israel has launched air strikes on the Gaza Strip for the past five days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has the right to self defence and foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman is calling for all rocket fire from Gaza to cease.

Health officials in Gaza say 69 Palestinians, about half of them women and children, had been killed as a result. Israel says more than 540 rockets fired from Gaza have hit Israel since Wednesday, killing three civilians and wounding dozens. Now what country in its right collective mind would allow a neighbouring state to continue shelling its populace relentlessly for months as Gaza has done? They are improving their rockets and now they reach Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as the southern regions of Israel.

The Bible is quite clear what is to happen in the Last Days and what is to happen to the Lands of the Philistines now referred to as Palestine. Egypt is also disingenuous about this as they are openly calling for the destruction of the Nation of Israel and did so a few weeks ago on Iranian television saying that Israel would be exterminated by mid 2013. The Muslim Brotherhood is behind the drive for extermination, that fact is clear.

The Philistine Lands were taken over and assimilated into the regions under the Jews, the Arabs and the Christians. What is left is an Arab amalgam of the surrounding tribes all resolved to destroy Israel and never to reconcile with them. Peace talks are a farce intended to allow them to re-establish to commence hostilities.  Whilst the peace talks continue they buy time to take new supplies of rockets from Libya in view of the supplies from the Sudan that were destroyed by a recent Israeli air strike on the Sudan government supply facilities. On Tuesday six Palestinians were made to lie down and were shot by militants on the grounds that they were collaborating with Israel. Their bodies were then abused in the streets of Gaza and one body was pulled by the feet behind a motor bike through the streets of Gaza. The peace negotiations are being delayed because Israel wants a genuine long term agreement ending the violence. The Islamists will never genuinely agree to peace short of annihilation. The conflict will continue to escalate.

Recently, in the New Moon Message  http://www.ccg.org/Sabbath/2012/NM_11_14_12.html, we explained what Jeremiah said concerning the Middle East up to the return of the Messiah and how it interrelated with the Book of Daniel. The cities of the Lords of the Philistines are still there and referred to in history but the occupants are mainly Arabs who do not follow Islam as it was originally but they follow a corrupt form of Hadithic Islam and justify their behaviour by lies and deceit.  Hamas deliberately uses its populace as a human shield and simply does not know the way of peace. They will continue to escalate these attacks until they force Israel to invade. That will not be in their interest at all.

Islamic radicals will force the West to invade the Middle East  as explained in that sequence and Islam will be subjugated from North Africa to the Yemen and then north into Iraq and Iran and on into the Islamic Republics and the old Soviet Union alliances. After this war, which will cover the wars of the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets, NATO and the Kings of the North will consolidate their operations and then occupy the land from the Mediterranean to Jerusalem. The occupation from Gaza and north into Tyre and Sidon will see the destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah and the consolidation of the Lebanon and Palestine into the Northern Powers of the NWO, before being incorporated into the nation of Israel after Messiah. So also will Syria be subjugated and consolidated as will all of the Arabian Peninsula then come under the Messiah.

When the Northern forces occupy the Levant they will do so for 42 months. At that time the Witnesses will also stand in Jerusalem against them and the god of this world. Once we see the Witnesses we will at last know the Messiah will be here in 1263.5 days. That will be the First Resurrection of the Dead and the First Garden of Paradise listed in the Koran. There is no dealing with modern Islam as they do not understand or even read the Scriptures as commanded to them by God through the prophets. Nor is there any point in discussing this matter with Trinitarian Christians as they think the world will be destroyed and they will all go to heaven. So both they and Hadithic Muslims think that each of them is going to Heaven and the other groups are going to Hell and so it does not matter what it is we do to the earth. It is all going to be irrelevant anyway.  The thousand year rule of the Saints, as plainly stated in Revelation chapter 20, is never read or quoted by these illiterates. See also the Islamic position from the Koran on the Law of God in the Koran on the Bible the Law and the Covenant (No. 083). They do not understand that fact either.

The fact is that those who are left of us and repent will be left here on the planet and we will have to clean up after these madmen and restore it all to its desired state. It will take decades and centuries to do and correct what these madmen have done to it. The Hadithic scholars will continue inciting violence because they do the will of their master Satan as do the Trinitarian Christians do his will also.

It is useful to make sure that we all understand the sequence of the Resurrections of the Dead. The last two papers are Heaven, Hell or the First Resurrection of the Dead (No.143A) and The Second Resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B).

Pray that God opens the eyes of the people and tears them out of the hands of these wolves and brings them to understanding.  Many are progressing in understanding on a daily basis.
