Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."
When was the daily sacrifice taken away? In other words, when was the last time that the Jews were allowed to worship on the Temple Mount?
Answer: 583 B.C.
But some will ask, “Didn’t Babylon invade Judah in 586 B.C. and destroy the Jewish Temple?”
Answer: Yes, it was 586 B.C., but some Jews continued to go the the Temple Mount for three more years and perform daily sacrifices. So . . .the exact date when the “daily sacrifice” was taken away was the year 583 B.C. The Babylonians took Jews to Babylon three different times. The last time is recorded in Jeremiah 52:30, and that date was 583 B.C. Check it out!
Jeremiah 41:4 tells us that sacrifices were made after the Temple was destroyed.
Notice! "Daniel did not say from the time the Temple was destroyed"; he said, "from the time the daily sacrifices were stopped". There is a time difference of three years.
The 23rd year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign was 583 B.C.
But using this date (583 B.C.), however, makes no sense. Adding Daniel’s number (1,290 days) to 583 B.C. brings us to 707 A.D.
Is there anything significant about the 707 A.D. date?
Answer: No. There is nothing significant about the 707 A.D. date. (Pope John VII died that year, and so did Japanese Emperor Momu at 24-years of age after a ten-year reign, but these events have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this study.)
So what do we do with Daniel’s prediction? Should we just throw it out or dig a little deeper?
Some folks overlook a very important fact. The Jews use a different calendar than we do. Their calendar has 360 days in a year. Our calendar (The Gregorian Calendar) has 365.24 days in a year.
So this means we have to do some very simple math.
(360 times 1290 equals 464,400 divided by 365.24 equals 1271.5)
The 1290 days in Daniel are actually 1271.5 days according to our calendar.
Now, with this knowledge, let’s do the math: 583 B.C. plus 1271 years brings us to the year 688 A.D.
Did anything significant take place in 688 A.D.?
Yes. The Dome of the Rock was built in 688 A.D.! Califah Abd el Malik ibn Marwan began construction of the Dome of the rock that year.
We call it The Dome of the Rock, but Daniel called it “The Abomination of Desolation”.
Why is this building and what it represents an abomination? There are several reasons. The main one is that it stands on the Temple Mount just south of where the Jewish Temple once stood.Written outside and inside of this building is the phrase, “God forbid that he should have a son.” ***
God doesn’t have a son? This one phrase erases the very truth of the Christian message. If God does not have a Son then we might as well throw our Bibles away!
But someone may ask, “Daniel used the word “days” not “years”.
Answer: Yes, this is absolutely true.
However, the Bible gives us a couple clues in Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8.
“For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.”
“A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.”
It is very easy for those of us who take these verses literally to accept the “day-for-a-year theory”.
So when Daniel said 1,290 “days” he was speaking to us of “years”.
I hope this helps you in your understanding of these Last Days and End Time Truth.
For those who are CURIOUS about the lateness of the hour . . . time to dig in and do some serious study and prayer, and to be aware of how Islam plays a major role in the last days.
Feel free to contact me if you have further questions: wesed@hotmail.com
***
Yes, we know that Antiochus IV Epiphanes put a temporary stop to the daily sacrifice in 175 B.C., and even sacrificed pigs to Zeus on an altar he erected in the Temple. But through the brave efforts of Judas Maccabeus those sacrifices were resumed again. Hanukkah emerged from this time because the candelabra burned for eight days when there was only enough oil for one day.
This year Hanukkah is December 20-28; in 2012 it will be December 8-16.
Inside the Dome of the Rock in classical Arabic is inscribed, "O you People of the Book, overstep not bounds in your religion, and of God speak only the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from him. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not Three. It will be better for you. God is only one God. Far be it from his glory that he should have a son."

A FRIEND GOING THROUGH A DEEP VALLEY
It's a very difficult and complicated time for sure. At the same time, I have never felt closer to to Abba. For once in my life, instead of freaking out and running, I am pressing in. This world is ugly full of the results of sin on every level. He told us that, in this world we will have trouble, but to not be discouraged because he has overcome the world. He said that he would never leave us. Never forsake us. I feel his presence, every second of every day and night. It's like a warm blanket on a cold snowy day. It doesn't mean I don't hurt or that God is giving me some sort of "bail-out" to make it all go away. It DOES mean that he is right here with me. Going through the ugliness of this with me. If not for that, I would be ready for the nut house.
This is where the rubber meets the road, where Jesus is TRULY alive and living in us! His words are all true. They are like a full course meal to men who are truly starving from a steady diet of Twinkies. You don't get this stuff in plastic American religious land where you "name it and claim it" for self-serving purposes, or fall asleep in the pew on Sunday morning. You only get it in the house of pain, on your face, and in the place where you have come to the end of yourself. In the place where there is no hope on any plane except Christ and him crucified.
God spared Jesus no pain. He pleaded with Abba in the garden to let the cup pass if there could be another possible way. Why do we think it should be different for us? We want the shudders to go up and down our spine as we prophesy and speak in the tongues of men and Angels. But we don't want the pain that will drive us, like a nail, into the hand of Jesus. I'll take the pain, thank you. Right now I am richer than Solomon!
It's funny that you emailed this morning. I had a dream about you last night. You were sitting at cafe table in a big church facility. I walked up and sat down to chat. Brother George from Costa Rica came and sat down with us. The three of us began to discuss how we could serve God as a team. Then I woke up. Not sure what that means. If God is in it, I guess we will see!
Love you brother!

GREETINGS FROM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel and author of A Place Among the Nations, gives a Christmas greeting and invitation to visit the wonderful nation of Israel. I have visited The Holy Land fifteen times and lived there for more than a year.
In the near future our team will be going there again. Pray about joining us! And if you have not read Netanyahu's book it is a must-read. Don't even attempt to talk to anyone about Israel until you've read it.
Here is the P.M. himself:

ISRAEL WILL BE ATTACKED . . .
“It is God’s privilege to conceal things and the King’s privilege to discover them.” Proverbs 25:1
These things will be kept secret "UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END" (Daniel 12:9). Most Bible scholars believe and teach that we are at the time of the end. If it is true that we are at the end of time, then we can expect that God will begin to reveal things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world. What an exciting time in which to be living!
I just got off the plane from New York City where I was speaking at Lighthouse Tabernacle. Pastor Damian and I have known each other for seventeen years and we always have great fellowship in the Lord.
I taught from the book of Joel. There are some amazing gems in this short tome, which speaks to us on many, many levels: world, nation, church, Israel, and our own hearts. God promised that he would “gather the armies of the world into the valley of Jehoshaphat.” Every nation mentioned in the Bible that Jesus will fight against when He returns is a Muslim country!
Zechariah 14:2 confirms this truth: “God will gather all the nations to fight against Jerusalem.” In this same chapter the Scripture declares that “the wealth of all the neighboring nations will be captured . . .” Just a few of the “neighboring nations” are: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. Obviously, the wealth will be OIL!
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister of Turkey and Time's Man of the Year 2011, broke off diplomatic relations with Israel in September of this year. Many Bible scholars believe that the Anti-Christ will emerge from Eastern Turkey, and some predict that Erdogan will turn out to be the evil one himself. Jesus told us to watch and pray. Be sure to keep your eyes on the Middle East.
Erdogan is the one who negotiated the release of 1,027 Muslim terrorists from Israeli prisons in exchange for only one Jewish soldier, Galid Shalit. This has elevated Turkey’s Prime Minister to elite status in the eyes of Arabs everywhere. He has recently made alliances with Iran and Syria, matching perfectly with what the Bible tells us will take place during these last days.
Do you know who BENNY GANTZ is? You need to know and you better know.
Joel 3:9 tells us to “get ready for war!” As God’s people we should be ready for war on a daily basis because we know that the Devil, as a roaring lion is walking around seeking whom he may devour. But on an international level the end-time scenario is coming together. The Muslim nations will form an alliance and literally invade Israel.
In Deuteronomy 34 God tells his people two times not to make any treaties (berith) with the foreigners. We could list many treaties that Israel has made with these enemies, starting way back in Joshua 9. All of the treaties were broken! This includes every one made in these Last Days.
When God said not to make any treaties with the people living in The Land he meant it. He also meant it when he said that he would “strike swiftly, pay you back for scattering my people, and judge you for dividing up my land.”
In the very near future it is going to look very, very bleak for the tiny nation of Israel. When the invasion begins it will appear that the Jews don’t have a chance and that they will be driven into the sea and be wiped out. But at the midnight hour the heavens will be rolled back like a scroll and Jesus will appear, mounted on his white stallion, followed by the armies of heaven (Revelation 19). THE ENEMIES OF THE JEWS ARE THE ONES WHO WILL BE DRIVEN INTO BOTH SEAS.
"Those in front will be driven into the Dead Sea, and those in the rear into the Mediterranean" (Joel 2:20b).
" . . . a great and mighty army appears. Nothing like it has been seen before or will ever be seen again" (Joel 2:2b). As yourself, "WHY"! Why has there never been such a great army? And how is this army able to "appear suddenly"? And why will there never be an army and a war like this again? The reason there will never be an army like this again is because this is the FINAL WAR, THE FINAL BATTLE. It will be the battle to end all battles. After this battle is over there will be peace for eternity. The Scripture declares that "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" (1 Cor. 15:52), this army will appear.
This is how close we are to the Day of the Lord! This is why Joel urges us to sound the alarm in Zion and to blow the shofar in Jerusalem. “The Lord is at the head of the column. He leads them with a shout. This is his mighty army, and they follow his orders” (Joel 2:11).
If you have placed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ you will be in this army! You will have a resurrected body, indestructible, just like the body Jesus had after he was raised from the dead. And you will participate in the greatest war in the history of this planet.
Yes, he will “jealously guard the honor of his land”.
At that moment “the bridegroom (Jesus) will be called from his quarters and the bride (us) will be called from her closet”. And he promises to “give you back what you lost.”
“Never again will my people be disgraced!”
“I will drive away these armies from the north.”
“The Day of the Lord will soon arrive.”
It is difficult for many people to comprehend what is about to take place. If it is not easy for those of us who are believers to accept that the end is upon us, think how unaware the unbelievers are. Jesus told us to watch and pray! We are to watch world events unfold and keep our eyes on the Middle East, praying in the Spirit daily for his revelations.
These are very exciting times and the Great Commission is ever before us. Our mandate is to take the gospel to the nations and encourage everyone to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I just received an email from China. The messages we have posted on Vimeo are being watched and passed around throughout the most populated country on earth. What a day in which to be living! God has given me the tools to proclaim his message to the end of the earth from my laptop computer. Truly, the words of Daniel the prophet are true at this hour: knowledge has increased and many are running to and fro.
You may listen to the prophetic message I preached in New York City two days ago by simply going to Lighthousetabernacle.com and then click on “SERMONS”. The title of this message is PERSPECTIVE. Enjoy it, pass it around. Place the link on Facebook. In this way we will all be working to get the gospel out to as many as possible before the time runs out.
Thank you once again for your generous and consistent help.

P.S. Just in from Egypt: As you may be aware, life is difficult for our Brothers and Sisters in Egypt with all of the recent changes their country has undergone. Through Joel News I received a video of how they are dealing with the persecution and uncertainty, - prayer and worship.
To quote part of the article:
Egypt: 75,000 Christians unite in prayer
In ‘Garbage City’ in Cairo, thousands of people live amidst the growing garbage piles which they sort each day for their livelihood. The stench is overwhelming at times. The people are the poorest of the poor and many are believers. They have a renowned church called the Cave Church, which they have hollowed out in a mountain, and which has a seating capacity of 20,000 people. All along the sides of the mountain they've engraved Bible scenes and Bible verses in Arabic. It's an amazing sight.
This was the location of an all-night prayer meeting on November 11, which had an overflowing 75,000 people in attendance from all denominations to pray for the nation. It was the first time in the history of Egypt that leaders from all denominations united together for such an event. Many people watched the service on screens set up all over the mountain, and joined in - hands lifted up, eyes to heaven, and tears flowing down their faces.
You will be encouraged by watching this video of their gathering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q62ZcqIukfI
The article goes on to share how the Christians in Egypt are also continuing to make a difference in their communities. One way they are doing that is by taking care of many of the street children in their cities.
Let us consistently remember our brothers and sisters in Egypt and around the world as we follow Jesus in these days.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
I am so glad to hear about you and your friend's perspective on Turkey. No one has openly mentioned this, but what you have shared has always been in my heart since my trip to Turkey. As our plane approached the Istanbul airport our missionary team was praying over Turkey. In the airplane the Holy Spirit just came down on us to the point that none of us felt any shame of praying in tongues with loud voices in our seats, and it went on till the plane made the touchdown. During the prayer, the Lord showed me a vision. I saw four tall towers with the blue tips which I had never seen before. But as soon as we arrived in Istanbul, we randomly hired a driver who took us to the Blue Mosque. I soon realized the meaning of what I saw in my vision. Our team in the middle of thousands of Muslim people in front of Blue Mosque started to worship God, and people couldn't dare to stop us as the presence of Holy Spirit was so powerful. As we worshiped, I realized in spirit, the throne of Anti-Christ was residing in Istanbul. Since then this city has always been in the center of my heart to pray.
Here's some more "PEACEFUL MUSLIM" stuff:

ISRAELI ARMY HAS GREEN LIGHT TO INVADE GAZA
ISRAEL GAVE GAZA TO THE PALESTINIANS. THE PALESTINIANS THANKED THEM BY SHOOTING ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS.
SAUDI ARABIA HAS OFFERED $900,000 TO ANY ARAB WHO KIDNAPS AN ISRAELI SOLDIER.
FINALLY . . . THE JEWS ARE RETALIATING AND THEY ARE READY TO SEND TROOPS INTO GAZA TO ROOT OUT THESE REPROBATES.
OF COURSE, THE PRESS WILL NEVER MENTION THE SIX YEARS OF ROCKET ATTACKS THAT ISRAEL HAS PUT UP WITH. AND . . . AS USUAL WILL PAINT THE JEWS AS THE AGRESSORS.

GIVE US SOME MORE FREE STUFF!
The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.
The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that. In 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!
Let’s take a stand!!!
Obama: Gone!
Borders: Closed!
Language: English only
Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!
We the people are coming
Only 86% will send this on. Should be 100%. What will you do?

TEXAS PIG RACE AT THE MOSQUE
A MAN IN TEXAS WAS ASKED BY THE MUSLIMS TO SELL HIS FAMILY FARM. WHEN THAT DID NOT WORK (THEY SURE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OUR CULTURE!!!), THEN THEY CALLED HIM A LIAR AND TRIED TO INTIMIDATE HIM.
MOST AMERICANS DON'T LIKE TO BE THREATENED, ESPECIALLY ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY. TEXANS REALLY DON'T LIKE IT.
THIS TEXAN IS A LOT SMARTER THAN MOST OF US. EVEN THE NEWSCASTERS COULD HARDLY KEEP FROM LAUGHING AS THEY ANNOUNCED THIS EVENT.

EARTHQUAKE ROCKS EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES
THE PENTAGON IS BEING EVACUATED AS I TYPE THIS.
HEY, OBAMA, GOD GOT YOUR ATTENTION YET?
BE KIND TO ISRAEL AND THE JEWS.
All national monuments have been closed.
Obama felt it in Martha's Vineyard where he is "vacationing".
Hey, man, you're going to feel more than this if you keep messing with Israel. No light bulbs have gone on yet? You also happen to have another hurricane heading toward America. Get a clue!
Wake up!
Irene might get your attention!

RESPECT THE OFFICE? YES. RESPECT THE MAN IN OFFICE? NO!
Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.
Dr. David Barton - on Obama
Respect the Office? Yes.
Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.
Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama !
I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !
Why am I doing this ?
It is because:
- I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America ;
- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;
- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;
- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;
- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;
- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);
- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;
- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East; and
- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.
Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right !
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years !
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country !
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society !
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to
bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!
Unite behind Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard.
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!
Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America .."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!Any more compromise is more defeat!
I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !
"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." - Thomas Jefferson
GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country!

NETANYAHU'S DECLARATION
"I have decided on a principle – when you hurt Israeli citizens we respond immediately and with force. This principle was implemented today,” he said in a televised address. “The people who gave the orders to murder our citizens and then hid in Gaza are no longer among us."
Eight Israelis were killed and 30 more wounded during a well-planned terror attack along the Israeli-Egyptian border Thursday.
The attack was planned in the Gaza Strip by the Popular Resistance Committees and perpetrated by terrorists who crossed from Gaza into Sinai via smuggling tunnels. They then traveled some 200 kilometers to reach an area of the border protected only by a tattered wire fence, about 15 kilometers north of Eilat. …
The assault began around noon, when three terrorists armed with rifles, grenades and explosives entered Israel from Egypt and stationed themselves at intervals of about 200 meters along the highway to Eilat, Route 12, at a stretch of road that runs very close to the border. At 12:30 P.M., they opened fire on an Egged Bus 392, wounding seven passengers, causing light to moderate injuries. Most of those injured were soldiers.
A few minutes later, an empty bus and several cars arrived. The terrorists opened fire again, and when the bus stopped, one of the terrorists ran up to the bus and activated his explosive belt, killing himself and the driver.
The shooting killed four occupants of one car, plus the driver of another.
The four occupants were a mother and father and their four- and six-year-old children.
At that point, the first soldiers arrived in two vehicles. One vehicle ran down one of the terrorists, killing him. Soldiers in the second vehicle opened fire on the third terrorist. One soldier, Staff Sgt. Moshe Naftali of Ofra, was killed in the ensuing gun battle.
Additional police and army forces then arrived on the scene and killed the third terrorist. They also opened fire on two additional terrorists who were waiting on the Egyptian side of the border. … The two terrorists in Sinai were killed after policemen from Yamam, the special anti-terror unit, pursued them a short distance into Egyptian territory.
Ynet and the Jerusalem Post have more. Israeli officials say that they had killed the leaders of the terrorist group that launched the attacks.
Barry Rubin considers the role that turmoil in Egypt played in the attacks:
This isn’t just another terrorist attack—it’s a major escalation, a new phase in the Arab-Israeli conflict in two ways. First, it is the bitter fruit of the U.S.-backed downfall of the government of President Husni Mubarak in Egypt, opening the Egypt-Israel border as a new front in the war. Second, it is probably the first successful al-Qaida attack on Israel. (The Palestinian Popular Committees, a Gaza-based al-Qaida affiliate is the prime suspect.) …
According to several eyewitnesses, the attackers were wearing Egyptian army uniforms, a detail which if true is going to be a major issue. Stolen or sold or provided by low-level sympathizers in the Egyptian army? And the site of the attack was near an Egyptian army outpost which–so far as we know now–didn’t do anything about it. One eyewitness said a terrorist was firing from an Egyptian army position. Again, these details will have to be checked by an investigation. …
Have no doubt. This is not just an isolated incident but the opening of a new phase. It will get worse. At a minimum, Israel will have to devote a lot more of its limited resources to guarding the Egypt-Israel border. An important question is how decisively will the Egyptian military react and how supportive of the attack will be Egyptian public opinion.
Given U.S. policy, nothing can be expected from Washington except words of dismay. …
both Hamas and Fatah sites feature rejoicing at the killing of Israelis. Nobody is critical of the attacks. One Fatah site has such remarks as: “”Our Lord is with the heroes”; [I] call for resistance in the Gaza with rocket fire and suicide bombings and the Glory of God and His Messenger”; “Tribute to the Heroes of each attack and no matter what their affiliation”; “God is great and victory is coming”
This attack may indeed be only the opening round.
Stay tuned.

GEERT WILDERS WARNING TO THE WEST
LEARN SOMETHING: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/blog/glenn/rumorsofwar/
In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who lost Europe ?" Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem ...
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who lost Europe ?" Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe .

REVENGE: MANY MEMBERS OF NAVY SEAL UNIT WHO KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN . . . DEAD!
WAS THIS A "LUCKY" SHOT BY THE TALIBAN, OR IS THERE MUCH MORE BEHIND THIS STORY?
WHY WERE SO MANY SEALS ON ONE HELICOPTER?
HOW DID THE TALIBAN KNOW THIS WAS A "30 TO ONE" TARGET?
AFTER TODAY DO YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING BIG IS UPON US?
PROPHECY MESSAGES: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE?
HERE ARE SOME SOLID-BIBLE TRUTHS ABOUT WHAT WILL BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE.
LISTEN AND PRAY! http://flc7.com/audio.html
AND THE DOW DROPS MORE THAN 600 POINTS IN ONE DAY!
TRILLIONS OF $$$$ LOST!
Revenge: Navy Seals Team who killed Osama Bin Laden killed today (August 6)
A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.
The casualties are believed to be largest loss of life in the history of SEAL Team Six, officially called the Navy Special Warfare Development Group, or DEVGRU. The team is considered the best of the best among the already elite SEALs, which numbers 3,000 personnel.

USA BANKRUPT? . . . DUH!
"If the U.S. government was a family, it would be making $58,000 a year, spending $75,000 a year, and would be $327,000 in credit card debt. The government is currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce its spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget and debt, reduced to a level that we can understand." ~Dave Ramsey
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
Boy, was I confused. We have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.
I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
I hope the following 14 reasons are read by millions of Americans.
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens (this means feeding and housing them while they are in the slammer).
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US .
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin.
14.. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States .'
The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Are we THAT stupid? YES, FOR LETTING THOSE IN THE U.S.CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS HAPPEN YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!!
But voters vote these same people in year after year.
In the Old Testament when the Jewish people turned away from God He sent judgment by bringing in foreigners. History does repeat itself. Our only hope is if our nation turns back to God.
But . . . you can't even get Christians to a prayer meeting. If the pastor announces a prayer meeting
the people run out the back door faster than rats off of a ship.

ANOTHER JOB OPENING
It's a little dangerous, but the pay is good.
For some reason or another the top nuclear scientist in Iran was shot while exiting his house.
Someone on a motorcycle drove by and assassinated him early today.
The ISNA news agency identified the victim as Dariush Rezaei, 35, an expert with links to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). Fars news agency said he was also associated with the defense ministry.
So, actually, there are two job openings. Iran is looking for another scientist and the Israelis are
looking for an excellent marksman (you know, it's good to change assassins from time to time).
Iran is blaming the U.S. for "masterminding" the incident . . . like the Jews need our brainpower????
This whole incident is called: "WHY BOMB AN ENTIRE NATION AND START A WAR WHEN YOU CAN JUST KNOCK OFF THEIR TOP NUKE SCIENTISTS" (WBAENASTAWWYCJKOTTNS).
This seems to be another huge setback for Iran's nuclear program.
My guess is that most scientists will not apply for the job. This is the third Iranian scientist to meet an untimely death.

HE'S MOVING TO MEXICO WHERE THE LIVING IS EASY!
SOMEONE JUST WROTE THIS LETTER TO HUSSEIN:
Dear President Obama:
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. From Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. From Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!

HUSSEIN'S GIRL FRIENDS??????
No matter what your political leanings are.....please take time and read the following.........and then THINK!!! Hmmmm.....makes me wonder and it should you too.
There are a lot of interesting questions brought up in the following. I do not have the answers, but I really would love to know the answers.
I think a lot of people have started wondering.....where did he come from.....and WHY did America fall all over themselves to vote him in as President. This email asks a lot of questions.....can you answer them ???
Even I have a past and I'm a nobody.
Obama: Where are his girl friends?????
Where are his girl friends????? Strange that none have popped up!!!!
Strange to the point of being down right WEIRD!
OK... this is past the 'birthers' questions.... this is just plain old
common sense, no political agendas for either side.
Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American
citizens, who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.
We are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.
Honestly, and this is a personal thing...but it's niggled at me for ages
that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his
charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity....
We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton--we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?
Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or
"What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of this.... no classmates,
not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.
I just don't know about this fellow.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.
Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging
that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library. What has he released?
And who voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?????
Does this make you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
VERY, VERY STRANGE… This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man.
Did you see a movie called The Manchurian Candidate?
Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to
school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia--the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.
While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college
class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA.
Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia, who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .... EVER!
Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."
At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked tobe the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ...
NOTE: Root graduated as valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a political science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions…
Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?
It is circulating that according to the U..S. Census, there is only one
Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.
WHAT!?
The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!

U.S.-FUNDED FLOTILLA RUNS AGROUND
TALK ABOUT THE BRILLIANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE!
WAIT UNTIL YOU READ WHAT JUST CAME OUT IN "VIRTUAL JERUSALEM".
GOD BLESS YOU, DR. ALAN BAUER.
"A novel lawsuit in a New York court demands the seizure of any boats in the planned flotilla to Gaza, which are accused of violating American laws.
The latest counterterrorist lawfare action is based on a rarely-utilized "informant" that allows a plaintiff, an "informer" in legal language, to privately seize ships outfitted in the United States for use against a U.S. ally, in this case Israel.
Dr. Alan Bauer, who along with his son Jonathan was seriously wounded in Palestinian Authority Arab suicide bombing attack in Jerusalem in 2002, filed the suit in a federal court in Manhattan. He is represented by Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, director of the Israeli-based Shurat HaDin (Israel Law Center) and New York attorney Robert J. Tolchin.
Israel has placed a maritime embargo against ships trying to reach Gaza. Last year, a six-ship flotilla sponsored by Turkey and the terror-linked IHH was stopped on the high seas before they could reach Gaza. The Israel Navy stopped five of the boats without opposition, but approximately 40 IHH terror activists on the sixth boat, the Mavi Mamara, brutally attacked Navy commandos as they reached deck. Nine attackers were killed before the commandos were able to take control of the boat and lead it to the port in Ashdod.
The flotilla supposedly was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, but a search in Ashdod revealed the Mavi Mamara was not carrying any aid. Instead, the terrorists had prepared lethal weapons and brought on board two guns for a planned confrontation with the Navy.
Last week, Turkey said it would not allow the Mavi Mamara to leave its shores. Activists still are planning to sail the other boats to try to break the embargo against the smuggling of terrorists and weapons not Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Bauer's suit seeks to confiscate 14 ships outfitted with funds "unlawfully raised in the United States by anti-Israel groups, including the Free Gaza Movement." The lawsuit contends that furnishing and outfitting the ships, which are being used for hostilities against a U.S. ally, violates American law.
Attorney Darshan-Leitner said, "We intend to seize the Gaza flotilla ships and turn them over to a victim of Palestinian terrorism. The extremists organizing these hostile provocations against Israel must not be allowed to illegally raise funds for their operations in the U.S. Escalating attacks on Israel from all directions require new and innovative responses. This unprecedented private action will help block their efforts to breach the coastal blockade and smuggle materials to Hamas in Gaza."
Attorney Robert Tolchin added, "This lawsuit will bring judgment to people who have until now ignored the law. Each flotilla ship is an attack on Israel and thus a slap in the face to the United States and every other nation that is at peace with Israel. The flotilla organizers, and the owners of these boats, should be held accountable for the damages and deaths they cause."
Dr. Alan Bauer was born in Chicago to parents who fled Hitler's Germany as children. He lives in Jerusalem, and came to Israel in 1992 on a Fulbright Fellowship to the Hebrew University, holds four U.S. patents in the area of diagnostics, and consults and has a start-up in food safety."
In the meantime . . . the slow learner, Hussein Obama, warns of "tensions" between the U.S. and Israel, our only real friend in the Middle East. How many more tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes, economic upheavals, and hurricanes will it take for the light bulb to go "ON"?
Latest Flood: Disastrous. Unstoppable. Historic. Unprecedented. All words used to describe what city, county and state officials warn is an imminent assault on all residents of the Souris River Valley.

THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
But someday this vast valley will be filled with untold numbers of soldiers. Amazingly enough, this
valley connects with the Great Rift Valley at the Jordan River. From Haifa to Bozrah is 180 miles (check out Rev. 14:26 at the bottom of this page).
Zechariah 12:10 tells us that the Jewish people will suddenly "look on me whom they have pierced".
This is another way of declaring that a time will come when the eyes of the Jewish people will be opened and they will realize that Jesus is the Messiah whom they rejected and crucified when he came the first time.
But before their eyes are opened, there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on them as a nation. Zechariah 12:10 says, "Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem."
I believe that the "spirit of prayer" has already been poured out on the Jewish people. There is not one moment, day or night, when someone is not praying at the Wailing Wall. And the Jewish people are joined by Gentile believers from all over the world at the Western Wall to cry out to God. Many thousands of people have sold their homes and businesses, moved to Jerusalem, and are walking the streets interceding on behalf of that city and the nation of Israel.
Soon the "spirit of grace" will be poured out, too. Then, and only then, will the eyes of the Jewish people be opened. God's grace will open their eyes and their understanding. This day will be here very, very soon.
All Israel will mourn! And the nation will not merely mourn. Israel and the Jews will mourn as for an "only son" (Zech. 12:10). It will be that deep in their emotions. It is easy to connect this phrase "only son" with John 3:16 in the New Testament. This is probably the best-known verse in the Bible.
Truly, we are living in amazing days!
Acts 2:20 says the moon will turn to blood: http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_6775/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=Dz3IznHT
We should not be startled by this because the New Testament tells us: "So all Israel will be saved!"
Israel is surrounded by five hostile muslim nations: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Turkey, nearby, will probably produce the Anti-Christ and be the nation to lead the coalition against Jerusalem and the Jewish people. The new leader of Turkey and his party are definitely anti-Israel.
Haddadrimmon (Zech 12:11): A place in the Valley of Megiddo. It is said that Ahab met his death at the hands of a Syrian named Haddadrimmon (Thunder god).
Megiddo: A small town located on the top of a ten-acre hill. Archaeologists have discovered 26 layers on top of each other revealing a period of 35 centuries.
Har Megiddo: “Hill of Megiddo”. Mentioned 11 times in the Bible. Joshua 12:21; 17:11; Jud. 1:27; 5:19; 1 Kings 4:12; 9:15,27; 23:29-30; 1 Chron. 20:29; 2 Chron. 35:22.
Armageddon: The Greek word for Har Megiddo.
The Jezreel Valley: “God Sows”. Wadi Ara
Via Maris: One of the main routes used for travel between Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia is in this valley.
Megiddo is the classic battlefield of the Land of Israel.
In this valley General Edmund Allenby launched his attack against the Turks in 1917. Megiddo was the base for the IDF in 1948.
Major Battles in this valley: Egypt and Judah, 609 B.C.; U.K. and Turkey (Ottoman Empire) 1917-18.
Megiddo Airport: Called “Shadar 7” by the IDF.
Location of Josiah’s Death: 2 Kings 23:29-30; 2 Chron. 35:20-25.
Revelation 16:16, “And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon (Harmagedon).”
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821): “There is no place in the whole world better suited for war than this . . . all the armies of the world could maneuver for battle here . . .
When the French troops were in Palestine, and besieging the city of Acre, Napoleon had already prepared a Proclamation making Palestine an independent Jewish state. He felt confident that he could occupy Acre and the following days he would enter Jerusalem and from Jerusalem he would issue his proclamation. He was unable to realize this project because of the intervention of the British. This proclamation was printed and dated the 20th of April 1799!
Rev. 14:20: “The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse's bridle.”

DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
After traveling all over the United States and speaking in every major denomination in our country for almost the past fifty years, I have come to the conclusion that God's people are grossly ignorant of the contents of the Bible.
Instead of being ashamed that their parishioners do not know the Scriptures, pastors continue doing the exact same things that they have done for decades, giving their cute little three-point sermons, and quoting mostly from such great resources as TIME MAGAZINE. As you well know, one of the definitions of "INSANITY" is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
Without a doubt, we need a huge revolution in organized religion. The first time I visited Israel I witnessed 500 Jewish young people studying the Old Testament for eight hours a day, six days a week. And this was just one of the hundreds of schools in various parts of the country.
When I compared this vigorous type of study of the Bible with our 45-minute-once-a-week "Sunday School Classes" here in the U.S. it was pretty humiliating. Would to God that our Sunday School Classes were truly "CLASSES" and "SCHOOLS" where people actually learned something.
I could list hundreds of times when church people have asked me basic Bible questions that should have been learned in kindergarten when they were six-years-old! The entire system needs to be fixed.
Anyone with an ounce of sense can see that we are producing "SPIRITUAL MORONS". It is no wonder that pastors spend most of their time changing diapers in "counseling sessions", when they should be using their time studying, praying, and learning how to teach God's Word.
I will not name the denomination (because they are pretty much all alike), but in one church where I taught the people had never heard of the return of Jesus!
One Sunday School student asked: "That war over in Israel . . . that's Jews killing Jews, . . . right?"
Another recent example of American ignorance: Several pastors contacted me when a minister in California predicted "THE RETURN OF JESUS MAY 21". Each one asked me if I thought the man might be accurate in his prediction. PASTORS WHO HAVE GRADUATED FROM SEMINARY ASKING THIS QUESTION!!!!! DUH.
These are the people who are leading congregations all over America. These are the men who stand in the pulpits each Sunday morning supposedly teaching the people. And they are writing to me asking if this guy in California might be right? Holy Cow!
So . . . looking back over almost 50 years I have typed below just some of the Biblical concepts (in bold type) that church people were totally unaware of, and asked me specific questions about:
“Knowledge is power.”
Sir Francis Bacon. 1597, Religious Meditations
If knowledge is power, then it is easy to understand why the church in the West is powerless.
Today, there is absolutely no excuse for being ignorant. Within just a few seconds a Google search will answer almost any question you may have. If you have been "dumbed down" it is your own fault. Never in history have we had such a quick and easy way to learn.
“I would not have you ignorant.” 1 Cor. 12:1
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.
“But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase” (Daniel 12:4).
“But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means” (Daniel 12:10b).
Jesus died on the cross that we might have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
You are going to live somewhere forever!
“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Mt. 25:46).
“And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire” (Rev. 20:15.
Jesus rose from the dead.
“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him” (1 Thes. 4:14).
“ . . . God raised Christ from the dead” (1 Cor. 15:15).
After he rose from the dead he was on this earth for 40 days. Many Christians in America do not know this simple Biblical fact!
“During the forty days after his crucifixion , he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive” (Acts 1:3).
More than 500 people saw him at one time.
“I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles” (1 Cor.15:3-7).
The last thing Jesus said . . .
“The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere---in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:7-8).
He was taken up into a cloud. This is called the ascension.
“After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him” (Acts 1:9).
“When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the place of honor at God’s right hand” (Mark 16:19).
Two white-robed men said, “He will return.”
“As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go’” (Acts 1:10-11)!
Jesus said he would return.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going” (John14:1-4).
Ten days after the ascension, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost means “the fiftieth day”, which was 50 days after Jesus died on the cross. The disciples received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit ten days after Jesus ascended to his Father.
Please take the time to go to my web site (FLC7.com/audio.html), "Articles by Wesley Smith", Part 1-6. Again, most Chrisitians in America do not even know the six basic doctrines of Christ.
“On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability” (Acts 2:1-4).
There will be a Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
“If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you, follow me” (John 21:22).
“I will come and get you” (John 14:3).
“Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again” (John 14:28).
“ . . . you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment” (1 Thes. 1:10).
We believers will be raptured in the twinkling of an eye.
“We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown” (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words” (1 Thes. 4:13-18).
We will be given new, indestructible bodies . . . like the Lord Jesus Christ.
“ . . . Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back” (1 Cor. 15:23).
“ . . . our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are spiritual bodies” (1 Cor. 15:42-44).
“Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man” (I Cor. 15:48-49).
“Our bodies will be transformed into bodies that will never die” (1 Cor. 15:54).
“But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever” (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
Then we will return with Jesus to this planet and join him in The Battle of Armageddon.
“Then the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones (saints) with him” (Zech. 14:5).
“Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. On his robe and thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords” (Rev. 19:11-16).
It is during this battle that the blood will flow up to the horses’ bridles for 180 miles.
“The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle” (Rev. 14:20).
I measured it on a map of Israel: From Haifa, Israel (where the Valley of Megiddo begins) to Bozrah, Jordan, it is 180 miles!
Compare Is. 63 and Hab. 3.
Ultimately, Jesus’ feet will stand on the Mt. of Olives and it will split apart.
“On that day his feet will stand on the Mt. of Olives, east of Jerusalem. And the Mt. of Olives will split apart, making a wide valley running from east to west. Half the mountain will move toward the north and half towards the south. You will flee through this valley, for it will reach across to Azal.” (Zech. 14:4-5). “Azal” is four miles south of Jerusalem. It has two names: Hill of Evil Counsel and Government House. And it is the location of the main headquarters of the United Nations in Israel! The Mt. of Olives has three peaks: Scopus, where Hebrew University is located, Mt. of Corruption, and the Mt. of Olives.
Satan will be thrown into the bottomless pit, where he will remain for 1,000 years.
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan---and bound him in chains for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while” (Rev. 20:1-3).
After the battle of Armageddon we will rule and reign with Jesus Christ for 1,000 years.
“ . . . they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years” (Rev. 20:6).
At the end of 1,000 years Satan will be loosed. He still has not learned his lesson. He goes out to deceive the nations.
“When the 1,000 years come to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations---called Gog and Magog---in every corner of the earth. He will gather them for battle---a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city” (Rev. 20:7-9).
At this point in time the Bible uses half a sentence to describe what will take place. Don’t be concerned. There will not be another war.
“ . . . fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them” (Rev. 20:8b).
Satan and his followers will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternity.
“Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and forever” (Rev. 20:10).
The final judgment!
“And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the Lake of Fire. This Lake of Fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire” (Rev. 20:11-15).
After earth and heaven “disappear”, a new heaven and a new earth will appear, and the New Jerusalem will come down from God out of heaven.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the Holy City , the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Rev. 21:1-2).
On this new earth we will live forever, in our new bodies, worshiping God and serving him in endless discoveries.
“I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, ‘Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever’” (Rev. 21:3-4).
“Look, I am making everything new” (Rev. 21:5)!
The Bible does not tell us much about the future from that point forward, but we know that it will be glorious beyond human imagination.
“Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations” (Rev. 22:1-2).
“In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all. The cow will graze near the bear, the cub and the calf will lie down together, the lion will eat hay like a cow. The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm, nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord” (Is. 11:6-9).
Some final words of Jesus:
“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book” (Rev. 22:7).
“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Rev. 22:12).
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star” (Rev. 22:16).
“Yes, I am coming soon!” (Rev. 22:20).
Latest story from Israel:
"A Palestinian woman from Gaza arrives at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba for lifesaving skin treatment for burns over half her body. After the conclusion of her extensive treatment, the woman is invited back for follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic. One day she is caught at the border crossing wearing a suicide belt. Her intention? To blow herself up at the same clinic that saved her life.
What kind of culture leads one to do that?
Sadly, it is a culture infused with resentment and hatred.
It is this culture that underlies the Palestinians' and the broader Arab world's refusal to accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
This is the root of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. It is not about the '67 lines."
Wesley Smith, Full Life Crusade, P.O. Box 398, Winona Lake, IN 46590 Website: FLC7.com
Instead of being ashamed that their parishioners do not know the Scriptures, pastors continue doing the exact same things that they have done for decades, giving their cute little three-point sermons, and quoting mostly from such great resources as TIME MAGAZINE. As you well know, one of the definitions of "INSANITY" is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
Without a doubt, we need a huge revolution in organized religion. The first time I visited Israel I witnessed 500 Jewish young people studying the Old Testament for eight hours a day, six days a week. And this was just one of the hundreds of schools in various parts of the country.
When I compared this vigorous type of study of the Bible with our 45-minute-once-a-week "Sunday School Classes" here in the U.S. it was pretty humiliating. Would to God that our Sunday School Classes were truly "CLASSES" and "SCHOOLS" where people actually learned something.
I could list hundreds of times when church people have asked me basic Bible questions that should have been learned in kindergarten when they were six-years-old! The entire system needs to be fixed.
Anyone with an ounce of sense can see that we are producing "SPIRITUAL MORONS". It is no wonder that pastors spend most of their time changing diapers in "counseling sessions", when they should be using their time studying, praying, and learning how to teach God's Word.
I will not name the denomination (because they are pretty much all alike), but in one church where I taught the people had never heard of the return of Jesus!
One Sunday School student asked: "That war over in Israel . . . that's Jews killing Jews, . . . right?"
Another recent example of American ignorance: Several pastors contacted me when a minister in California predicted "THE RETURN OF JESUS MAY 21". Each one asked me if I thought the man might be accurate in his prediction. PASTORS WHO HAVE GRADUATED FROM SEMINARY ASKING THIS QUESTION!!!!! DUH.
These are the people who are leading congregations all over America. These are the men who stand in the pulpits each Sunday morning supposedly teaching the people. And they are writing to me asking if this guy in California might be right? Holy Cow!
So . . . looking back over almost 50 years I have typed below just some of the Biblical concepts (in bold type) that church people were totally unaware of, and asked me specific questions about:
“Knowledge is power.”
Sir Francis Bacon. 1597, Religious Meditations
If knowledge is power, then it is easy to understand why the church in the West is powerless.
Today, there is absolutely no excuse for being ignorant. Within just a few seconds a Google search will answer almost any question you may have. If you have been "dumbed down" it is your own fault. Never in history have we had such a quick and easy way to learn.
“I would not have you ignorant.” 1 Cor. 12:1
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.
“But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase” (Daniel 12:4).
“But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means” (Daniel 12:10b).
Jesus died on the cross that we might have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
You are going to live somewhere forever!
“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Mt. 25:46).
“And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire” (Rev. 20:15.
Jesus rose from the dead.
“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him” (1 Thes. 4:14).
“ . . . God raised Christ from the dead” (1 Cor. 15:15).
After he rose from the dead he was on this earth for 40 days. Many Christians in America do not know this simple Biblical fact!
“During the forty days after his crucifixion , he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive” (Acts 1:3).
More than 500 people saw him at one time.
“I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles” (1 Cor.15:3-7).
The last thing Jesus said . . .
“The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere---in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:7-8).
He was taken up into a cloud. This is called the ascension.
“After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him” (Acts 1:9).
“When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the place of honor at God’s right hand” (Mark 16:19).
Two white-robed men said, “He will return.”
“As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go’” (Acts 1:10-11)!
Jesus said he would return.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going” (John14:1-4).
Ten days after the ascension, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost means “the fiftieth day”, which was 50 days after Jesus died on the cross. The disciples received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit ten days after Jesus ascended to his Father.
Please take the time to go to my web site (FLC7.com/audio.html), "Articles by Wesley Smith", Part 1-6. Again, most Chrisitians in America do not even know the six basic doctrines of Christ.

And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability” (Acts 2:1-4).
There will be a Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
“If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you, follow me” (John 21:22).
“I will come and get you” (John 14:3).
“Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again” (John 14:28).
“ . . . you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment” (1 Thes. 1:10).
We believers will be raptured in the twinkling of an eye.
“We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown” (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

We will be given new, indestructible bodies . . . like the Lord Jesus Christ.
“ . . . Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back” (1 Cor. 15:23).
“ . . . our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are spiritual bodies” (1 Cor. 15:42-44).
“Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man” (I Cor. 15:48-49).
“Our bodies will be transformed into bodies that will never die” (1 Cor. 15:54).
“But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever” (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
Then we will return with Jesus to this planet and join him in The Battle of Armageddon.
“Then the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones (saints) with him” (Zech. 14:5).
“Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.

On his robe and thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords” (Rev. 19:11-16).
It is during this battle that the blood will flow up to the horses’ bridles for 180 miles.
“The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle” (Rev. 14:20).
