AntiZionists are against the return of King Messiah, because King Messiah, the “Son of Man” is King of the Jews, first and foremost and King of Israel secondly. King Messiah, contrary to antiZionist, antiChrist “Christians,” will restore Jerusalem to Jewish control - liberating it from the fascist EU occupation.
AntiZionists, professing Christians often, are against King Messiah because as the I AM, He prophesied the return of REAL JEWS to the real Jewish homeland that such “Christian” rebels refuse to submit to although it’s clearly in the Scriptures. They’d rather nurse their irrational hatred, bogus racial claims and hysterical allegations about Khazars against Judah (God calls them Jews, we should submit Father knows best) than uphold God’s Law and Prophets that foretold Judah would serve as the pioneer tribe, leading the way for the other tribes to follow. Such anti-Zionists are against GOD for opposing His Word and His Will concerning the restoration of legitimate Jews to the Jewish homeland.
The diplomatic politician, statesman, turned Beast rules before King Messiah, the King of the Jews, the King of Israel, returns from Heaven. It is such a European wannabe divine emperor who will mislead professing Christians and New Agers and Eastern devotees to think he is “God” when he makes such blasphemous claims in the holy Temple, polluting it and bringing divine judgment on himself and numbering his days for trespassing, overstepping his bounds.
Jews aren’t the ones who believe a man can be God. It is the synagogue of Satan, the false Christians who profess to be spiritual Jews, “Christians” who believe such things. (Yeshua is the only One who was both human and divine through His mother and His Father and will return from Heaven in full view of all mankind - not from some secret chamber, cave or other earthly place).
The legitimate Jews in Israel, in Jerusalem, will be prepared to meet our God and receive our King by the Two Witnesses, for Yeshua said He would not return to His Jewish brethren and Jerusalem until they had a change of heart: “… for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’”(Matthew 23:39).
The Jews are back in Jerusalem, and before King Messiah returns they will have the prophesied change of heart (Zechariah 12:10-14), while too many professing “Christians” will fall for the so-called AntiChrist and fight against the return of the REAL JESUS from Heaven who will defend the Jews.

“People on this night are going to be on several different
levels. No doubt we are on the lowest level, so we are hoping in
this night to attain the honor and illumination granted in it.
When we reach a higher level and as it is a holy night in the
heavens as well, we will begin to sense something [of the great
power being manifested] on this night. Whoever is at the highest
spiritual level must be present for this night in the Divine
Presence of the Lord.”

“Sources in the defense establishment believe tomorrow will be
the day on which the Palestinians will ask to disconnect Arafat
from life support and announce his death. Tomorrow night marks
Lailat al-Kader, the night Muslims believe God revealed the
Koran to the prophet Mohammed. The death of the Palestinian
leader on that day will, therefore, be symbolic.”
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/498629.html
“The bill specifically forbids Arafat from being buried anywhere
in Israel. “Because of his disease,” the bill reads, “the State
of Israel allowed Arafat to leave for the sake of medical
treatment. This bill requests a ban on his return to Israel or
to the Palestinian Authority areas, whether to stay or to pass
through. The bill also wishes to prevent his burial in these
areas, lest the site turn into a pilgrimage attraction, a
symbol, and a source of inspiration for the war against Israel’s
existence.”" Arutz-7 news: Tuesday Nov 9, 2004
“”We chose Ramallah because it is close to Jerusalem, where we
are hoping to bury him in the near future,” said Hassan
Khraisheh, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council
and member of a special committee entrusted with overlooking the
funeral arrangements. Palestinians said that after Arafat would
be buried there, a mosque and monument would be built inside the
compound.”

“Sha’ath said there is no talk of removing Arafat from life
support. “We are not really believers in euthanasia. The man is
not suffering; he is in a coma … It’s out of the question that
anybody is thinking of taking any such decisions,” he said.”
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/09/arafat/index.html
Waiting till the Night of Power to pull the plug on Arafat’s
life support would have effectively placed him on the “highest
spiritual level” quoted above, and therefore, “in the divine
presence of” allah. However, as the PA officals didn’t remove
his life support, even his burial in Ramallah, complete with a
mosque and monument to boot, will do one of two things in the
minds and hearts of Muslims worldwide who revered Arafat in this
life.
1) Arafat will be elevated to prophet status, and his teachings,
sayings, decrees, etc, spread throughout the Islamic world, and
be followed even more devoutly than in his lifetime. Thus
ensuring PA leadership, that their goals to wipe out the Jews
and Christians wherever they may be found, will be carried out
in even greater numbers, dedication, and determination than in
the past.
In this situation, pulling the plug on Lailat al-Kader would
have been a ploy to ensure that policies, goals, ideology, and
commitment to Arafat’s cause is further entrenched and carried
out. Such a ploy would have taken advantage of Muslim thought
and desire on this day, and basically forcing what many call
“the new Islam” down everyone’s throat, as refusal to honor a
prophet brings harsh discipline.
Burial complete with mosque and monument will very likely do the
same thing in the minds of the moslem people, as not only will
they come to mourn, but also come to worship.
2) Arafat will receive the burial fitting for a prophet, and
many will come merely to mourn his passing, but no elevation to
prophet status will occur.
This is less likely to happen, as in order to have his death be
symbolic on the night of Lailat al-Kader, moslems would have to
admit that Arafat was spoken to by allah himself, and that his
death is a sign that his words are to be whole-heartedly honored
and obeyed.
It’s bad enough that the IDF is bracing for riots and increased
violence in PA-controlled areas following the news of Arafat’s
death. But to have millions of moslems suddenly claim Arafat as
a prophet will make matters worse for Jews, and Christians
around the world. It’s already bad enough that a BBC reporter
cried over his release to a Paris hospital. The added sympathy,
honor, mourning, and allegiance to his teachings will only
congeal supporters world-wide as well.
I see therefore, a potential polarization of East versus West,
of People of the Book versus Islam in the coming days. Saudi
Arabia is already treating the war in Iraq as a holy war.
PA-bred terrorists are already in Iraq killing Americans and
other national groups the same way they’ve been killing Jews in
Israel for years.
Arafat is not another Louie
Riel(http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Pa
rams=J1ARTJ0006837), to be decried, then enshrined, then
decried, then a statue built, repeatedly going from hero to
villain and back again. Arafat, plain and simple, is a villain
on a massive scale. He will be a hero to the strain of Islam he
revived and its sympathizers, and a villain to those who don’t
adhere or sympathize with his ways and teachings.
I say be watchful in coming days. Whether intended by the PA
leadership or not, Islam may have just turned a corner. Jews and
Christians beware.

For those that know me, you know that I am a former US Army soldier. I’m very proud of this fact, and it’s one of the reasons that I support both the military personnel in Iraq, as well as the war in Iraq.
Ask any soldier though, and he/she will tell you that he/she is reluctant to go to war. After all, it is his/her life on the line. No one hates war more than the soldier.
However, it is this boldness as a soldier that has led me to be bold for Christ. Although I struggle with it, I can honestly say that I hate no one. There are some pretty dangerous insititutions out there: liberalism, islam, communism, etc. However, I don’t hate those who choose this. I pray for them. They are misled by Satan, and if you really take the time to look past these institutions, to the people involved with them, you’ll see a lot of misery.
At the bottom of all this is a lot of self hatred. It takes a lot of self hatred, and a lot of hate, to murder an unborn child, to murder 1000s on 9/11, to murder millions of Christians in Sudan.
As Christians, we need to stand for social justice. We need to stand against this prejudice and hate. Jesus has taught me that the more I love myself, truly love myself as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13, the more I can love Him, and the more that I can love others. It is this kind of love that changes the world.
For years I never understood what the sacrifice of Christ meant. When I watched the movie, “The Passion of the Christ”, then I truly understood what Christ had done for us. How He suffered so that we could be restored to our relationship with God.
We as Christians have something no other faith, no other religion has: our God made Himself a man, came to earth, and He loved us so much that He died for us. We don’t have to die for Him to get into Paradise. He made sure that when He died the penalty of our sin was paid forever. He has allowed to stand in history His brutal and humiliating death so that we can live forever with Him.
This is the ultimate example of love and the ultimate example of sacrifice.
As Christians, we have nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. For those who truly love Christ, we aren’t here to impose our will on others; we are here to make the world a better place.
Like the military in Iraq, go boldly forth. Take up your armor as outlined in Ephesians 6. Stand against this evil that threatens to engulf us. The victory is already ours. We’ve already won.
Evil can never stand in the face of love, and evil will never defeat love. May the peace and love of Jesus Christ fill your life today.

A sign of the end which most recognize is the coming of the Holy Spirit. Joel prophesied the coming of the Spirit in the last days (Joel 2:28-30). His prophecy is mentioned several times in the New Covenant, most notably in Acts 2:16-20. In fact, each time the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the New Testament, the prophecy of Joel is in the background.
The Gift of Tongues and Christ’s Return
Citing Joel’s prophecy Peter says, “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel” alluding to the exercise of the gift of tongue-speaking. He affirmed that the role of the eschatological Spirit continued until the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, (Acts 2:19, 20 equating this with Christ’s second coming Compare Matthew 24:29, 34; 1 Corinthians 1:7, 8. What was key about tongue-speaking in the first century is that it confirmed imminent judgment upon the nation of Israel.
The Prophecy of Tongues and Judgment
Isaiah’s prophecy provides the context of judgment citing that men of other lips (of a foreign language, meaning the Assyrians, 8th century B.C.) would speak to the rebellious house of Israel. (Isaiah 28:11, 12)
Paul correcting the first century church of the misuse of tongue speaking cites this prophecy saying that tongue speaking was a sign, not to believers but to unbelieving Israel. In so doing, he alludes to the coming judgment upon the ancient nation in A.D. 70. (1 Corinthians 14:20, 21) Such confirms that the modern state of Israel has no place in prophecy and contrary to popular opinion, absolutely nothing to do with the end-time.

Question: In a world that is so politically charged and
uncertain can we trust that an entire kingdom, yet to rise,
could be revealed to us by the use of a symbol, especially that
of a beast?
Answer: When John depicts both the antichrist and his kingdom
with the symbol of a beast, Revelation l7:1f, he is showing us
some futuristic series of events that some say is too much to
entrust to the uncertainty of a vision, much less a symbol
within a vision. This argument is instantly neutralized when we
realize that many years before John’s vision the prophets had
similar visions that are now fully completed, and are now a part
of the historical record. For example Daniel saw the rise and
fall of four separate kingdoms in two visions that he had
himself or interpreted for the ruler in his time. Daniel saw the
rise and fall of the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek and Roman
empires. One vision was of a man and the other of various
beasts, Daniel 2:lf and 7:lf These visions are now part of the
past and serve only to prove that God does use such images, they
are always accurate and it is time to get onboard if you are
going to take God seriously.
Question: Are natural disasters the evidence that the end is at
hand?
Answer: Actually the increase of natural disasters is not the
evidence that it is the end. They are the evidence that the end
is about to begin. They are those things that signal the
approach of the coming troubles and the return of Christ. Jesus
put it this way…And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars:
see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, And earthquakes in divers places. All these are
the beginning of sorrows. Mt 24: 6-8 Such events then are the
precursors to the great tribulation they are not the tribulation
in all its fullness, and it’s scripturally provided order. You
can almost hear the phrase…Just when I thought it couldn’t get
any worse, guess what happened.
Question: Are natural disasters, wars, nuclear incidents, and
terrorism Gods judgments?
Answer: They may be his judgments for our ongoing sinfulness but
they are not the judgments spoken of in Revelation. The events
that follow the breaking of seven seals, the blowing of seven
trumpets and the pouring out of seven vials of wrath are all
intervening judgments performed by God alone.
Let me be brutally succinct and put it another way. Man does not
perform the judgment of man in that day. God glorifies himself
alone. Men would only try to explain the judgments away as some
inexplicable anomaly or natural occurrence. They would not think
it had anything at all to do with their own way of life. They
would never admit that their sins had finally come under the
scrutiny of an angry God.
God has endured centuries of our reasoning and wrangling about
whether he would actually intervene and judge our behavior. Not
even Christians seem to know that he has given us a many
examples and an iron clad guarantee that assures us that he
will. In the twenty eighth chapter of Deuteronomy, God gives a
list of the blessings that we will earn if we obey him in a mere
fourteen verses. In the same chapter he pronounces the things
that will befall us if we choose to go our own way, and that
takes no less than fifty four verses.
Some of the judgments included are madness, hemorrhoids, and
blindness. The worn out cliché that says that a loving God would
never do such things to us needs to be re-examined in a more
realistic light. God usually forewarns people through men and
women who aren’t afraid to speak up, but he tells only a very
few exactly what those judgments will be. I have not been
notified about great disasters or calamities as a rule, but I am
still under mandate to proclaim those judgments revealed in the
scripture and especially those of the book of Revelation. The
only specific judgment I have so far ever been apprised of in
advance is the coming economic collapse in America. That doesn’t
mean I haven’t felt that some of the calamities I have witnessed
did not make me ponder the idea that God had surely intervened
to bring them about.
One such event was the recent tsunami that killed a quarter of
a million people in Indonesia and other counties in that part of
the world. I don’t like hearing about disasters, hardships or
the demise of any people and it brought me great sorrow to learn
of this horrendous tragedy. I prayed for those families who had
victims of the disaster as I watched the reports along with the
rest of the world.
About a week after the tsunami struck I heard a little news item
about that region of the world that had not received much
attention before or after the disaster. I found it impossible to
overlook the report without giving it further examination. I
heard a report that said that the sale of infants and the child
pornography business in that area is the largest in the world.
The reporter said, it is estimated that the income for child
porn and baby sales was approximately twelve billion dollars a
year. If ever I have felt that a calamity could he a direct
judgment of God it was this one. I was reminded of a powerful
and serious warning that Jesus gave… But whoso shall offend
one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were
drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6

Helping Children Learn of God’s Special Plan for Their Lives
Book Review - Duncan Carries a King by Dan Taylor and Damon J.
Taylor Reviewed by Lisa M. Hendey
Most of us search for purpose in our lives, and children are no
exception to this. In the new book Duncan Carries a King (Kregel
Kidzone, January 2005, hardcover, 32 pages) authors Dan Taylor
and Damon J. Taylor introduce the character Duncan the Donkey.
Duncan feels lost and useless, unable to ascertain his purpose
in life. He looks around him and sees the friends he grew up
with pursuing meaningful jobs that make a difference. He has a
strong desire for God to use him in some way, but he sadly is
unable to determine a vocation.
Blending fiction with Biblical accounts, the authors introduce
the story of Jesus sending his disciples to find a young donkey
that he will ride into Jerusalem, fulfilling a prophecy from
Zechariah. Duncan the donkey learns that God does indeed have a
purpose for his life - God has specifically chosen him to carry
his son Jesus into Jerusalem. Duncan’s triumphant entry into the
holy city leaves him wondering what plan God has in store for
him next.
With bold illustrations and a plot that aligns closely with the
New Testament account of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, Duncan
Carries a King is the perfect tool for parents looking to teach
children the message that God has given each of us unique and
precious talents. Also included in the book is a special section
for parents including objectives and discussion questions for
parents or teachers. Children will love Duncan Carries a King
for its creativity and the loveable Duncan. Parents will
appreciate the book for its emphasis on prayer, patience,
perseverance and a serving heart.
