Seasonal catalogs and sales flyers are starting to trickle into mailboxes across the country. While there have been some major victories in the effort to convince merchants to acknowledge and articulate “Merry Christmas,” early indications show that the battle is far from over.

Although some obviously mean well, they're fighting the wrong battle! Christmas is not and never was Christian. Christmas is pagan and Catholic and God hates it and condemns it as an ABOMINATION. This is the educational effort that all should be involved with to spare our peoples from divine punishment. This is what we must convince and encourage professing Christians to acknowledge and act accordingly. The battle is to expose such popular error to set folks free by the plain truth of the Bible and history.
May those entangled in the tinsel traditions of Christmas, snared by its heathen customs and caught up in the unclean culture of the "mass of Christ," confess and forsake such idolatrous sins and instead learn all about the biblical festivals Jesus and the early Church of God kept and the whole world will soon when He returns and reigns.
Hostility against "Jewish Holidays" to be History!

Muslims prevent Christians from praying where Jesus prayed
“Walk where Jesus walked, pray where Jesus prayed, stand where He stood there is no other place like it on earth,” said Pat Robertson, American televangelist and former presidential candidate as part of a new advertising campaign paid for by Israel to promote tourism in the country.” (The Jerusalem Post, 9/28/06)
I encourage every Christian to visit the Holy Land of Israel and urge every Jew to follow Judaism to the Jewish homeland. After all, the Prophets announce Jerusalem is destined to host the long-awaited "House of Prayer for all peoples." Bible believers trust the Third Temple is coming soon!
I encourage Israel to live up to the 1967 Law for the Protection of the Holy Places that guarantees FREEDOM OF ACCESS to religious sites for pilgrims - an access denied Christians and faithful Jews today! How can Christians pray where Jesus and his disciples, later apostles, both taught and prayed when the Israeli authorities aid and abet a Nazi-Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount that illegally forbids it? And why accuse those of us who highlight the plight of the Temple Mount, exposing this hypocrisy, of harboring dangerous ideas?
Jerusalem's abomination of desolation - a Temple Mount without a temple - and its deplorable status quo of religious discrimination by Muslim guards against Christians and Jews, against both the laws of God and men, must end! Israel must stop rewarding terrorism, shamefully cowering before Muslim threats of violence and REMOVE THE THREAT. It's past time the Israeli authorities practice what they preach: "freedom of access."

German Fraternities: Nationalism rises in academic dress
Free Nations
Tuesday, August 15, 2006
Introduction by Rodney Atkinson:
German Burschenschaften are traditional, historically based student fraternities with militarist characteristics which even today conduct initiation ceremonies involving sword play! They resemble a kind of freemasonry and have always been recruiting agencies for higher employment in German business, political life and the military and were more than sympathetic to the imperial ambitions of the Kaiser (First World War). Although they are mostly associated with the C.D.U., as the principal Conservative political movement in Germany, in this, as in other matters of German nationalism, there is little opposition from the Social Democrats!
Since the fall of Nazi Germany the Burschenschaften have attacked the loss of German nationalism and in particular the loss of German territory in the East. They are today associated with the ethnic German movement (founded by the Nazis and funded by the German State today) which we have covered extensively on this web site [www.freenations.freeuk.com] (please see in particular the button on our home page "Nazi Regions"). They regard as German whole areas of other countries where Germans used to live (Sudetenland in the Czech Republic) or still live (parts of Belgium, Denmark, Poland etc).
The vast majority of its members have academic qualifications and some of their lodges have invited extreme nationalistic political figures to address them -- the most notorious being an Austrian Burschenschaft's invitation to the British holocaust denier David Irving (now in prison in Austria).
German Foreign Policy [www.german-foreign-policy.com] reported earlier this year:
One of the largest academic associations in Germany, the Deutsche Burschenschaft, raises, in a recent publication, territorial claims against Poland and Russia ("German Eastern Territories").
They also claim as German parts of Austria, the Czech Republic (the Sudetenland, over which Britain almost went to war with Germany in 1938! - ed), Belgium, Italy and Denmark. The Association also demands in the recently published collection of its basic beliefs more support for German speaking minorities in the whole of Europe. Indeed such work is already supported by the German Government to the tune of 16m Euros a year.
Membership is about 15,000 (with some 13,000 having university qualifications) in 120 lodges, many working in key social and economic positions in society. Even the Social Democratic Party refused to distance itself from this ethnically based group, elements of which associate with political extremists.
As the group pointed out in 2005, "The German Reich in its borders of 31st December 1937 continues to be recognised in German law". The author, who was until recently Vice President in the Official Archive of the German State, claimed that there was "no reason to give up the German claim on these territories" [1].
In its 2005 Handbook the Burschenschaft writes: "By Germany we understand the German inhabited area in Central Europe from which Germans have been illegally expelled....Germany exists independently of State borders" [2].
Whole areas are of course "administered by Poland" but "a loss of territory in the sense of the extension of Polish sovereignty" had not taken place, claimed the Vice President of the University of Wuerzburg, Hannes Kaschkat, in the name of the Deutsche Burschenschaft.
The D.B. sees the concept of Germany "not in the State but in the settlement area of the German people". Defined as German are all those who by their descent, language and culture belong to and give their loyalty to the German people (Volk, could possibly be translated as race - ed).
This would therefore include the areas of South Tirol in Italy, German parts of Belgium and parts of "North Schleswig" in Denmark, claims the Handbook, an there can be no doubt about the "German character of the Sudeten territory". (Needless to say this kind of logic -- "people above state" -- was the principal characteristic of the racial and territorial claims of the Nazis between the two world wars - ed).
The D.B. claims that outside the official German language area (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein) there live some 14 million "Foreign Germans".
In addition to the 16m Euros provided by the State the D.B. gives support to the spread of German culture and sees the "cultural engagement of Germany and Austria abroad" as "also a political engagement" having "important consequences for the economic development of German interests". Since 1996 the D.B. has its own "Burschenschaft Foundation for national minority and ethnic group rights in Europe" in Saarbruecken.
Needless to say the nationalistic D.B. attacks the Allies after the Second World War for "systematically destroying the German national consciousness and the national will to self assertion (!) through a long term and deep seated re-education programme". This, together with a "one sided theory of the past" represented a kind of "psychological war" [3].
Today, therefore, the D.B. believes that the "crimes of the Allies must be exposed and published in equal manner and pursued as vigorously as German war crimes" [4]. (Here again we see, as in the inter war years under the Nazis an attempt to relativise German aggressive war by putting the defenders of democracy and nationhood on the same moral footing as their destroyers and the invaders on the same moral plane as the resistance!)
When in Government [5] the Social Democrat party refused to support an attempt to declare membership in Burschenschaften as incompatible with party membership [6], and a "Working Group for Social Democrat Corporate members" which includes D.B. members is being formed.
Individual Burschenschaften regularly offer neo-fascists an opportunity to speak. For instance the Burschenschaft Olympia in Vienna invited the holocaust denier David Irving in November, 2005, to speak. Irving has since been convicted and imprisoned for the crime of "holocaust denial".
By contrast with the provocative acts of some of the radical members of the Burschenschaften and the negative response of the mass media, the D.B.'s academic activities in promoting the revisionism of Greater Germany seem relatively harmless. But under such an academic gloss the neo-Nazi political elites establish their theories in the Universities and modernise the traditional concepts of German hegemony in State foreign policy.

German Minister advocates Fourth Reich: German Reich the Model for Europe says German Minister
(Berlin State Minister for Culture, Bernd Neumann)
Free Nations
Tuesday, September 5, 2006
Introduction by Rodney Atkinson:
As in all other moves towards the re-creation (under the disguise of the European Union) of German Imperialism and European Fascism, the warnings of democrats are laughed at but then later confirmed and still later admitted. So it is now with the re-creation of the German Holy Roman Empire, so beloved of the Nazis that some of them created the Charlemagne Prize awarded to Blair, Jenkins, Heath and other destroyers of democratic nationhood.[www.freenations.freeuk.com/news-2003-12-11.html]
Now we have a German Pope (Nazi youth and supporter of the Reich ideal who recently declared that Germans had no war guilt) [www.freenations.freeuk.com/news-2006-06-05.html] who will be taking part in a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the E.U. next year by praising that "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation".
Now we see a German Minister admitting that Germany and the Eastern European countries "belong together" and that the Reich is the model for Europe.
German Foreign Policy [www.german-foreign-policy.com] reported on August 29, 2006: (Translated by Mr. Edward Spalton for www.freenations.freeuk.com on August 30, 2006)
The medieval, Europe-wide German Reich is a valid model for the union of European countries today. So says the Berlin State Minister for Culture, Bernd Neumann. According to him, the memory of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation reveals "an inner historical consistency" with the founding and steady expansion of the European Union.
These remarks are a preparation for the festivities in Berlin for the fiftieth anniversary of the European Economic Community (E.E.C.), to which the Federal Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has invited the German Pope, Joseph Ratzinger.
Ratzinger is a committed supporter of the "Imperial Ideal" (Reichsidee) and is to speak on the "spiritual foundations" of Europe in the German capital. This government offensive to revitalise the Imperial Ideal will underline the German leadership of the E.U. and confirm fears in France, Great Britain and almost all the states of eastern Europe.
Sections of the German elites are warning against an all-too-public assertion of German hegemony.
GREAT SIGNIFICANCE
As the Berlin State Culture Minister Bernd Neumann said, the German Reich of the Middle Ages can "from today’s viewpoint" serve "as a valid model of the functioning order of a superstate" [1]. Neumann took this opportunity when he opened an exhibition last Sunday (27 August) which is dedicated to this supposed historical exemplar ("The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, 962–1806").
Because of the prominence of the exhibition (partly in the state-controlled Historical Museum in Berlin), the individual stands and total content of the exhibition are attracting remarkable public interest. The Culture Minister's intervention has strengthened the political charisma of the exhibition. He is a committed supporter of the Federal Chancellor.
It touches on "every great trend (...) which makes very clear to us the inner historical legitimacy and consistency of European unification", said Neumann on Sunday. The explicit aim of the organisers is "to examine the past of Old Europe in a time of fundamental inner and external reorientation" [2]. According to the organisers, they have traced "structures and developmental processes" which are "of great significance for the federal construction of Europe".
THE EUROPE OF TOMORROW
The public references to the structures of the medieval Reich which are evident in Neumann's position used to be the province of the extreme right, or confined to clerical-conservative circles -– at any rate since the Second World War.
This was the opinion of the C.S.U. (Christian Social Union) politician and grandson of the Austrian Kaiser, Otto von Habsburg, who made it known at the end of the Seventies that "the European integration of our times (...) follows the grand outline and principles of the Reich, which survived 1806, because they are of lasting validity" [3].
Similarly, the Pan-Europa Union, an association of E.U. supporters close to the C.S.U. insisted that "the eternal function of the Reich must be renewed in the Europe of tomorrow in the interest of the West" [4].
Similarly, Joseph Ratzinger, the present Pope Benedict XVI, acknowledged that the origins of today's E.U. should acknowledge "a common imperial ideal (Reichsidee)" [5].
In recent years, conservative newspapers have opened their columns to new advocacy for the "Reich" [6].
THE PAPAL SPEECH
As the Speaker of the Bundestag Norbert Lammert (C.D.U.) has now informed us, he has invited a supporter of the imperial ideal, Joseph Ratzinger, to Berlin next year. The invitation was extended to Ratzinger last Monday by the Federal Chancellor at a reception in Castel Gandolfo. The German Pope will be in Berlin to attend the festivities for the fiftieth anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and will grace the proceedings with a speech.
The German press already reports that the religious consecration will validate the European Economic Community (E.E.C.) and will be dedicated to "the spiritual foundations of Europe's political unification" [7]. The invitation legitimates the "Reich" concept of a stable co-operation of Church and State.
It will be a particular affront to France, a founder member of the E.E.C. Paris is committed to secularism, and the separation of Church and State has been a principle of French public life since the revolution of 1789.
CENTRAL EUROPE
The Berlin Culture Minister's speech of last Sunday will also affront those European states lying to the east and south of Germany's borders. The Minister made an obvious allusion to Poland and the Czech Republic when he said that the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was "a part of the past of many European states".
According to Neumann, "Germany and Central Europe are historically and culturally indissolubly linked together" [8]. By this the State Minister recalled the earlier German hegemony to the east of Germany's present frontiers, which the Federal Republic has tried to reassert since 1990.
FEARS
The reawakening of the Reich myth has run into sharp criticism. In a press interview, the historian Heinrich August Winkler pointed to the significance of the Reich myth for Nazi propaganda. According to Winkler it was decisive "that the Reich was always something else and more than a normal national state".
When, in 1939, Hitler proclaimed the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia over the rump of Czechoslovakia, legal historians of pan-German views confirmed that this act was quite in line with the old Imperial ideal which had always been supranational.
Winkler warns of new tensions between European states. "Incantation of the Reich" would "unavoidably create fears of German demands if it became again the model for the ordering of Europe" [9].
As criticism of the well-know historian Winkler has been prominently publicised for three weeks [10], the Minister's [Berlin State Minister for Culture, Bernd Neumann] speech can be clearly understood as an undoubtedly intentional rebuttal on behalf of German Reich propaganda.

German pope's message for Jews
The Bavarian pope's "message" for Jewry is Islam is to be conquered and subdued and then the Jews. I'm sure the German pope could find many GERMAN EMPERORS to quote to substantiate his claim. However, let Jews understand that the bloody Roman Catholic Cult is not biblical or representative of Christianity in any manner, shape or form and has always persecuted the Sabbath-keeping Church of God and Jews for reminding folks of this fact.
Germany and the Vatican have a grand design, coming together and emerging from its underground existence before our very eyes, of a German-dominated European Union, a revived "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation," Germany's Fourth Reich, that has its evil eye on Jerusalem, especially Mount Zion and the Temple Mount.

German pope against Islam
The Bavarian pope's calculated comments stoked the fires that will ultimately result in the EU's rapid reaction force responding to jihad with a new crusade. The bloody Vatican speaking against Muslim violence and terrorism is like the pot calling the kettle black!
The Grand Inquisitor knows it's only a matter of time before the "cross" defeats the "crescent" that hangs like the sword of Damocles over Europe and the world. Daniel foresaw the "King of the North" butt heads with and utterly defeat the "King of the South." Everything is getting put into place, positioned for the coming clash that will find Jerusalem caught in the middle.

Europe Misses the Mark - Will It Return as the Sign of the Cross?
Europe to take out Iran for Jerusalem

Europe Swings Both Ways
Bavarian Pope to Sweep Europe Off Its Feet?

Politics in the Church of God prevents progress
Many Sabbath-keeping Church of God members (various groups and organizations associated to one degree or another with Herbert W. Armstrong) are sincerely opposed to offering any Church of God literature or religious material for sale, since Herbert Armstrong taught us to "buy the truth and sell it not." However, such Church of God members should remember that Mr. Armstrong later permitted his books to be made available for sale in bookstores, informing the brethren and co-workers in a letter dated September 12, 1985:
"There is a very large audience which would never request this book [Mystery of the Ages] if offered free - who would never send their name and address to us - but would gladly buy a copy in the bookstore. By putting it in the bookstores we will reach a very great audience that we can reach in no other way. We will not sell the book ourselves, but it cannot be made available to this large audience of book buyers unless the bookstores do put a price on it." (Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong, Volume 2, page 638).
Some have been upset that Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall is sold. I remind them of Herbert Armstrong's words above and Paul's rhetorical response to some in his day over this principle that we're commanded to not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain and that a worker is worthy of his hire. Besides, Beyond Babylon is available to download for FREE or read online for FREE. God knows I am certainly not in this for the money, but gladly share the plain truth of the Bible and history as I am able, knowing it is truly priceless information.
I am also an individual, not a Church organization receiving regular tithes and offerings who therefore have no need to sell anything, as they're equipped to offer it all, ideally, for free. I don't believe any Church of God organization should sell Church of God literature. However, those out in the field, not part of the administration or headquarters, have a God-given right to do as necessary. Yeshua didn't condemn selling sacrificial animals but was righteously indignant that such commercial activities were taking place in the Temple courtyards and at exorbitant prices. Many were making a killing rather than offering a service.
A member of the Philadelphia Church of God recently corresponded with me on this and other Church of God issues.
Didn't you try and impose your book on God's ministers and church?
Not at all. Gerald Flurry refused to go forward with Beyond Babylon and fell backwards, treading old ground and is now going in circles, business as usual, as Europe rises and Judah and Israel have yet to be warned.
Maybe you should have waited until the time came.
Don't you believe God goes first to His Church and then His Nation? It was time to bring Beyond Babylon before Flurry, whom I consider to be the leader of this Laodicean era of God's Church.
Do you think you are one of the 2 witnesses?
God knows, but what I do know is that we ought to at least prepare the way for them with Judah and NONE of the Church of God groups reach the cities of Judah.
That would be a honor to be one. I've often prayed about them and in my silliness wished I could be one of them.
It would be an honor and a grave responsibility and the most hated job in the world since rejection would be by many in the Church, initially, and nearly all in the world, with a bloody ending until the resurrection to physical life just before the return of the King, Yeshua the Messiah. No nice dinners or fancy invitations for the Two Witnesses but plenty of murderous misunderstanding and hateful grief.
But I'm just a lay member.....
No such thing as "just" a lay member. Everybody has their God-given place in the Church of God and are equally important for whatever God has called them to do.
Seems to me you focus too much on the physical Jews.
Not at all. Herbert Armstrong always told us to "WATCH JERUSALEM!" Who's in Jerusalem? JEWS! The gospel began and will return there. God's true church is not there now although "Elijah" went there. This must change.
Mr. Armstrong, near the time of his death, said on one of his sermons or Bible studies that they are not so important as he once thought since they don't even believe in Jesus Christ.
I don't believe that at all and don't believe he ever said it. I quote what we know for sure Herbert Armstrong said about the importance of reaching the cities of Judah. It's documented. Shamefully, it's something that hasn't been done yet but the foundation has been laid, even though the Work in Israel is temporarily suspended by government decree as it was in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah.
Mr. Flurry never read your book right?
I don't know. Wayne Turgeon [Gerald Flurry's son-in-law] handed him a print out of it years ago and he returned it to him saying, "He's always sending us stuff." Mr. Flurry even responded to me several times on various issues including his confusion of Mount Carmel with Mount Hermon which I brought to his attention (having been blessed to live next to both of them), and my disagreement with him when he said the pope was the only religious leader to sit on a throne and I mentioned the Queen of England is also head of the Anglican Church (although agreeing with the point he was making against the Roman Catholic Cult).
I would love to find those letters, however during my many moves overseas to Israel I thought I kept them stored at my sister's home but she can't find them. Such letters also include correspondence from Dr. Herman Hoeh years ago about the Jews and their variations in color and why. I met Dr. Hoeh at the Toronto Singles' Weekend (Church of God singles from all over were in attendance) where he spoke and invited us to write him, which of course I did.
Later I sent an autographed copy of a self-published BB (Beyond Babylon) to Flurry's home for him and his wife who said to me (during the Feast of Tabernacles in Louisville) about my name, "What a strong Judah name!"
Dennis Leap said he read parts of it and that it wasn't necessary for him or Flurry to read it, unlike Mr. Armstrong wanting Sardis (Church of God, Seventh Day) to read his manuscript - The United States and Britain in Prophecy - which they DID.
Well, I hear you loud and clear. I do not agree with some of headquarter's decisions but they are just as human as we are and liable to make mistakes, including Mr. Flurry. Sometimes we just have to suffer the wrong and go on.
I readily accept and acknowledge that fact, but if it's a mistake or a sin we learn from it, acknowledge it and go forward all the wiser. Flurry has done none of those humble things. Regardless, I go on without him as he goes backwards trying to play HWA and God in the Temple, grieved to say.
David, I hope and pray for your return to PCG... Mr. Flurry has engaged in personal appearance campaigns and he plans to go to Joseph and Judah this coming year I think. The Key of David will no longer air on TV and we are now focusing on personal warnings.
Remember we are baptized into the Body of Jesus Christ - not into any sect or denomination of men. I remain a member of the spiritual Church of God that isn't bound by membership lists at the mercy of men. Remember Diotrephes? (3 John vs. 9-11).
What do you mean they've scrapped the TV programs (even though I always constructively criticized them -through Wayne Turgeon who used to write me very frequently - that nobody but a very limited religious audience would watch the programs at the hours they were shown). As Turgeon can testify, I also said they needed a toll free number (which years later they obtained); I said they needed a website with Church literature (which years later they have); they need to publish Beyond Babylon freely (which they still don't) and to take out major newspaper ads like HWA to reach EVERYBODY and get EVERYBODY talking about our God-given controversial message.
We do really need better advertisement.
Yes, because I've conducted my own tests and surveys on many internet forums to see that the general public doesn't have a clue who Flurry is, never heard of the PCG and doesn't know the warning message at all. All that money for what? A private club?
Too bad you only see what you think is bad but God has to get his family ready first to marry his Son before He can deal properly with the world.
And how does God do that? Have us stare at our Church navel - Church headquarters as the center of our attention? - or by the way of give, outflowing concern for the good and welfare of OTHERS - like the cities of Judah. Otherwise folks will never feel ready to reach out and will have proven themselves deceived by Satan who doesn't want the Work to GO FORWARD. As we reach out, so help us God, He will work in and through and for us at the same time.
I know everything that is good about the PCG and continue to direct folks to its literature and The Philadelphia Trumpet magazine despite their refusal to send it to me. They even know I've given them contacts in the Middle East, in Jerusalem, Jewish leaders, and that it was me whom God used to contact the mayor of Jerusalem to get the HWA monument repaired (in the Liberty Bell Park in Jerusalem), and then I forwarded the information to Flurry (who didn't even say thank you and wasn't even aware of its woeful neglect that I knew about from being over there so many times). I'll bet you didn't know that, did you?
I had written an open letter to the mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski, that was published in The Jerusalem Post. His office contacted me to inquire about what groups or organizations I was referring to that would be interested in undertaking the financial responsibility for the monument's restoration and the rest is history.
"There is a very large audience which would never request this book [Mystery of the Ages] if offered free - who would never send their name and address to us - but would gladly buy a copy in the bookstore.

Bavarian pope entrusts Germany to lead Europe
German President Horst Koehler blasphemed, "Holy Father, welcome home, welcome home to Germany" and Bavarian Minister-President Edmund Stoiber of the Christian Social Union Party proffered "the Christian roots of Bavaria are strong and full of energy," music to the ears of the Bavarian Pope Benedict XVI ready to inspire Germany to have Europe follow their lead in a danse macabre.
The "holy Roman" arrived in Munich to galvanize the underground forces ready to spring into action to revive the empire of the German Nation, all allegedly in service to Europa - a damsel in distress - and in pagan devotion to "Mary" (in whose square they convened, before St. Mary's Column, a bizarre confluence of Bavarian, German and Roman ambitions). According to the views of such "warriors," the two-headed dragon of Islam and secularism must be slain for "Christian Western Civilization" to survive and Germany is again being called upon to wield the necessary sword as "The Defender of the [Catholic] Faith."
Germany might find it providential that they're in the heart of Europe and have seen more of their sons rise to emperor status than all others combined. Stoiber thanked the pope for addressing issues that confront the modern world, "in warning when Christian values and human dignity threatened to be overcome by the spirit of the times." Stoiber clearly struck a chord with the audience and received the most thunderous applause when he chimed, "It moves us deeply in our souls when the head of the Roman Catholic Church says, 'My heart beats Bavarian.'"
Will Europe soon feel two hearts (Church and State) beat as one? Is not this Bavarian pope's visit to Germany a media blitz to move Europe to find meaning and shelter under the cross to ward away the evil of Islam and awaken them to the dead end of secularism? Will Germany challenge the continent to remember their roots, going on offensive against those liberals who have made moot, as much as possible, professing Christian influence as exposed in the present preamble to the EU Constitution? Hasn't the pope issued the call for this new crusade, ignited in Bavaria, to gain momentum throughout Germany and spread across Europe?
"At decisive moments throughout their history, the Bavarian people have always confirmed their sincere devotion to the see of Peter and their firm attachment to the Catholic faith."
The pope summoned and invoked "all my compatriots in Bavaria and throughout Germany will play an active part in the transmission of the fundamental values of the Christian faith to the citizens of tomorrow."
The Bavarian pope acknowledged, "The relations between Bavaria and the Holy See, notwithstanding some moments of tension, have always been marked by warm, cordial respect." A reference to those who opposed granting then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, an honorary citizenship of Munich to mark his years there as archbishop, stating "We don't need a Grand Inquisitor," referring to his nickname as the strict enforcer of church doctrine.
Now that Germany and Europe are at a historic crossroads, a decisive moment, will such protests be a thing of the past and prove too unpopular, even dangerous, as Germany prepares to take the EU bull by the horns and the crowds get whipped up?

Collaboration between Rome and Jerusalem?
One must question whether or not this present "Sanhedrin" (in training or preparation) would agree to some deal with the Vatican over Jerusalem. Would the "Sanhedrin" submit to an arrangement where the Roman Catholic Church is offered their long sought control of Mount Zion (with "guarantees" of freedom of access for Jews to King David's Tomb) in exchange for the restoration of Jewish authority over the Temple Mount (with the go ahead given for the construction of the Third Temple by the release of the Temple treasures from Rome to Jerusalem), with the understanding that when UN Resolution 181 is enforced such a "Sanhedrin" would be elevated and respected as the legitimate Jewish rulers/representatives, considering the secular shell of a state will soon be history?
The Chief Rabbinate already flirts with foreign occupation. Are there any other groups in Israel that couldn't care less who runs the state - UNJews or actual Gentiles - as long as they're free to worship and left alone to lead Jewish lives?
I hope and pray nobody trusts the German-dominated EU or the bloody Vatican, as Zechariah reveals such Roman wolves in sheep's clothing will brutally betray and occupy Jerusalem, expelling the entire Jewish Quarter, as Mount Zion is merely a stepping stone to the coveted Temple Mount.

Is Alex Jones right about 9/11?
Was 9/11 an inside job? An excuse for war? The buildings demolished? Part of the New World Order by the globalists to kill off many and enslave the rest? Are "black flag" operations historical? Do governments engage in "Reichstag fires?"
Have you ever faced the facts? Have you ever visited www.infowars.com?
What main thing leads you to believe or disbelieve 9/11 was an inside job by the military industrialist complex and the globalists, the elitists, the Bilderbergers (who were once denied as fiction and now everybody knows they're very real - all too real)?
False Flag Operations: Declassified Military Documents Show How US Government Planned Terrorist Attacks Against its Own Citizens
President Eisenhower, apparently aware of such dangers, had warned the nation during his January 17, 1961 farewell address:
"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them..."

Death and resurrection of British-Israelites and Jews
You're getting paid for this nonsense right? - asks an internet forum poster flustered over my flurry of posts and participation found all over the web, as I am an e-vangelist whose coverage is ever expanding as God wills and Google reveals.
It's only nonsense to those who are either woefully ignorant of the Bible and history or who reject the plain truth they testify to and I teach. I am not getting paid but should be.
Because for the life of me, I can't work out why else you'd stick with it.
Because I love you and seek to share what I wholeheartedly feel is important for the world to hear, not just hiding behind some podium or safely speaking to a converted audience but reaching out to everybody and hopefully I've only just begun as the Word must get out.
And what better way, than to post the same tripe over and over at a website where everyone knows you're nuts. If this is how you get the word out, you need more help than any of us can give.
Yeshua said that if they called Him names and mocked His message we shouldn't expect anything less. However, it is you who will need all the help that the Two Witnesses will give, live from Jerusalem. They will continue with this bittersweet message and offer hope and comfort to their CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
This is only the beginning of the THUNDER before the Storm, as Beyond Babylon will become a national debate and an international controversy. Expect full page newspaper ads, like Herbert W. Armstrong took out in The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and other daily newspapers to reach everybody high and low, rich and poor, regardless of race or religion - the largest possible audience!
You already know the message, as do many others now who have read what I've said repeatedly since so many are hard of hearing: the German-Jesuit EU will conquer the British-Israelites and Jews because God will use them to punish us for our idolatry and immorality. Such defeat, deportation and occupation will last 3 1/2 years and then Yeshua will return and reign and save us from our sins and our enemies. Yeshua is our Lord and our Savior, our Priest and our King - our physical and spiritual NATIONAL DELIVERER.
Some will hear and heed now and save themselves from the unimaginable horrors about to be unleashed upon the world (by the German BEAST promoted by that false prophet pope), but many will die or go into NATIONAL CAPTIVITY where they will remember they were forewarned by men like me they merely found entertaining at the time (Ezekiel 33:28-33). Some will die "laughing," grieved to say.
This warning will be a witness to survivors and they'll realize that the bitter part of the message they had mocked has actually come true and then they'll be able to take comfort that the sweet part of the message - of NATIONAL DELIVERANCE and the Return of the King - will also come true. This all serves a purpose, there's a method behind the madness, whether or not you get it...now or later.
Just remember the bittersweet message of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall:
Bitter message: Europe's rise. We'll suffer national defeat and deportation "beyond Babylon."
Sweet message: Europe's fall. We'll be restored to life "beyond Babylon."
It's only nonsense to those who are either woefully ignorant of the Bible and history or who reject the plain truth they testify to and I teach. I am not getting paid but should be.
Because for the life of me, I can't work out why else you'd stick with it.
Because I love you and seek to share what I wholeheartedly feel is important for the world to hear, not just hiding behind some podium or safely speaking to a converted audience but reaching out to everybody and hopefully I've only just begun as the Word must get out.
And what better way, than to post the same tripe over and over at a website where everyone knows you're nuts. If this is how you get the word out, you need more help than any of us can give.
Yeshua said that if they called Him names and mocked His message we shouldn't expect anything less. However, it is you who will need all the help that the Two Witnesses will give, live from Jerusalem. They will continue with this bittersweet message and offer hope and comfort to their CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
This is only the beginning of the THUNDER before the Storm, as Beyond Babylon will become a national debate and an international controversy. Expect full page newspaper ads, like Herbert W. Armstrong took out in The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and other daily newspapers to reach everybody high and low, rich and poor, regardless of race or religion - the largest possible audience!
You already know the message, as do many others now who have read what I've said repeatedly since so many are hard of hearing: the German-Jesuit EU will conquer the British-Israelites and Jews because God will use them to punish us for our idolatry and immorality. Such defeat, deportation and occupation will last 3 1/2 years and then Yeshua will return and reign and save us from our sins and our enemies. Yeshua is our Lord and our Savior, our Priest and our King - our physical and spiritual NATIONAL DELIVERER.
Some will hear and heed now and save themselves from the unimaginable horrors about to be unleashed upon the world (by the German BEAST promoted by that false prophet pope), but many will die or go into NATIONAL CAPTIVITY where they will remember they were forewarned by men like me they merely found entertaining at the time (Ezekiel 33:28-33). Some will die "laughing," grieved to say.
This warning will be a witness to survivors and they'll realize that the bitter part of the message they had mocked has actually come true and then they'll be able to take comfort that the sweet part of the message - of NATIONAL DELIVERANCE and the Return of the King - will also come true. This all serves a purpose, there's a method behind the madness, whether or not you get it...now or later.
Just remember the bittersweet message of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall:
Bitter message: Europe's rise. We'll suffer national defeat and deportation "beyond Babylon."
Sweet message: Europe's fall. We'll be restored to life "beyond Babylon."

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?
The Jews of today are composed of the 12 tribes. Some, in clear contradiction of the Holy Bible, pretend that all twelve tribes of Israel are Jewish. Such woefully ignorant or deceptive people deny the biblical distinctions between the 12 Tribes and pretend there's only one tribe: Judah.
Jacob-Israel had 12 sons. Each son became a patriarch of the tribe named after them. For example there's Judah, whose descendants are Jews. There's also Joseph, whose descendants are Joes. Joseph isn't Jewish!
The 12 Tribes of Israel became the nation of Israel that later split in two: Joseph was the leader of the Northern Kingdom with its 10 tribes, capital Samaria, and Judah was the leader of the Southern Kingdom, capital Jerusalem.
The Northern Kingdom of Israel was defeated and deported by the Assyrians 130 years before the Southern Kingdom of Judah was defeated and deported by the Babylonians! Two separate kingdoms with separate tribes. The Northern Kingdom of Israel became known as the "Lost Ten Tribes." The Jews continued to be known as Jews (including exceptions among them to the general rule of relatively few Israelites who sojourned with them).
The first time in the Bible the words "Jews" is used is when the Northern Kingdom of Israel was allied with Syria against the Jews! This is important to note since some deny these great distinctions. The Joes are not and never were Jews! They're Joes.
2 Kings 16:5-6
5Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz [king of Judah], but could not overcome him.
6At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
Further proof that there are TWELVE TRIBES and not just the Jews/Judah can be found in the distinct blessings of all 12 Tribes by Jacob (Genesis 48-49) and later by Moses (Deuteronomy 32). They're addressed to each of the 12 Tribes of Israel and not just to Judah!
The High Priest had 12 precious gemstones representing the 12 Tribes of Israel - not just one stone in his breastplate, and shouldered two stones with six tribal names on one stone and six tribal names on the other (Exodus 28).
The Promised Land of Israel was divided among the 12 Tribes of Israel, as any biblical map will clearly reveal - not just one big inheritance for Judah.
Ezekiel 47-48 reveals a future division of the Land of Israel again between all 12 Tribes. The New Jerusalem makes mention of 12 Tribes - not just Judah (Revelation 21:12)
Those who dare deny these God-given distinctions mentioned in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation pretend all 12 Tribes of Israel have been merged into the one tribe of Judah, denying the distinct biblical prophecies for each of the separate tribes.
Some Jews have a haughty attitude against the other tribes, even against some Jews, and reject the "prodigal son" and would disinherit them contrary to God's Word and Will:
Ezekiel 11:15
15 “Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Get far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
They want the Gentilized Israelites to remain lost and far away, feeling smug and exclusive, rather than acknowledge they are only a small part of the Chosen People, the Servant Nation, and should seek reconciliation, our family reunion, not further alienation.
Those who pretend that all 12 Tribes are now with Judah speak against the Law and the Prophets that reveal otherwise, as the Law states the People (Am Israel, the Nation or People of Israel - all 12 Tribes) will be restored under King Messiah, and the Prophets speak of two branches representing the two leading tribes of Joseph and Judah being reconciled and reunited.
Conclusive proof Joseph and Judah are still separate and unique identities and tribes:
Ezekiel 37:15-22
15The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand [they're two sticks, separate but brought together and joined by God].
18And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all [which division still remains to this day until the restoration of all things].
Some Jews deny Joes are Israelites, and some Joes deny Judah is legitimate, accusing them of being Khazar converts and unworthy of the Jewish Homeland. I refute both hateful teachings with the plain truth of the Bible.
In Judaism, there's a concept, "Ma'ase Avot, Siman L'Banim," the deeds of the fathers are guides for the children. The actions of the forefathers are reflected in the lives of their descendants.
Joseph and Judah fought before and don't always agree today. Joseph's brethren were blind to his identity and Joseph was a world ruler who fed the nations. Some still don't recognize Joseph as the Anglo-Saxons or perceive that Joseph represented Yeshua the Pierced One, but in God's good time all will be revealed beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Germany to take the EU bull by the horns
As 2007 fast approaches, with Germany in command of the rotating presidency of the European Union for the first half of the year, Germany is setting the stage to perform thunderous acts and stun their audience with lightning speed and awesome ability.
The German accelerant to European unification will seize the moment and ignite the imagination to consolidate the continent in their no-nonsense manner, getting down to business and wasting no time, serious that the Islamo-fascist threat targets Rome and Vienna - "Western Christian Civilization" - and that only the cross can repel the crescent. Germany will invoke and wield assistance from both industrialists and politicians, ministers of state and religion, especially the Vatican who champions Germany as the "Defender of the Faith."
Offering a stark glimpse of where Germany will lead Europe, the world's most powerful woman (according to Forbes), Angela Merkel, following a private meeting with the Bavarian pope - weighed in:
"We spoke about the role of Europe and I emphasised the need for a constitution and that it should refer to our Christian values," she said. "I believe this treaty should be linked to Christianity and God because Christianity was decisive in the formation of Europe."
Such calculated comments led to charges that Merkel resurrects ‘holy’ EU constitution row, as can be expected, but to her credit she didn't shy away from the controversy or conceal her convictions. However, much more is at stake in the heart of Europe than first meets the eye. The German chancellor's endorsement is only the tip of the iceberg.
Catholic politicians are going on the offensive against secular resistance to mention of Christian heritage in the Preamble of the European Constitutional Treaty with their Association of the Europe Foundation. Giorgio Salina, president of the new organization, states its purpose is to counter the "widespread and manifest hostility that Christian culture -- considered a subculture -- meets within European institutions, specifically, in Parliament".
Salina is also the vice president of the Convention of Christians for Europe, who plan on meeting once or twice a year with "deputies, Christians and those sensitive to Christian, national and European values."
Mario Mauro, vice president of the European Parliament, has stressed the importance of the foundation's mission of building a Christian identity in Europe.
Germany's foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has revealed that Germany has every intention of making the EU constitution a priority next year, telling German diplomats "We need a constitution as soon as possible." The heat is on. The politicians have received their marching orders.
We can expect the Bavarian pope and his politico-religious puppets to forge ahead with their plans to remodel Europe after the "holy Roman Empire of the German Nation." Sound far-fetched? Not at all. Laying the foundation for it in fertile minds, helping to shape public perception and policy, just in time for Germany's ascension to the throne, Germany hosts An Empire Revisited 200 Years After Its Demise. Germany's information services describes it as "two major retrospectives featuring historic documents and artifacts in Berlin and Magdeburg, along with several related exhibits in Frankfurt and other cities, aim to bring this empire back to life 200 years after it was declared dead in Vienna by Kaiser Franz II in the Europe of Napoleon."
Yet some, failing to connect the dots, or unable to believe that truth is stranger than fiction or Germany capable of backsliding, lament The clothes have no emperor, that Europe "does not, it cannot, seem to speak with one voice: it cannot even agree to speak through one person...to speak collectively with a single voice...the advantages of speaking and acting authoritatively with the collective weight of the world's largest trading bloc are so self-evident and overwhelming ...".
Germany will get down to the brass tacks and prepare the way for the emperor to fill the clothes that yet hang limp. Europe's strong man, with the pope's promotion, will emerge as the grand design demands. However, Europe is not only taking a monumental risk that such a leader will always adhere to its ideals, it is gambling with world peace. Is a world dictator about to appear? Based upon both the Bible and history, I would say, yah.

Re: Wanted: a Muslim Reformation
Wanted: a Muslim Reformation isn't recent but still reflects the attitudes of many, sad to say, which is why I felt it necessary to respond and set the record straight.
Christianity has the Spanish Inquisition and the bloody excesses of the Crusades.
The Roman Catholic Cult is not Christian and neither are its Protestant offspring. The Sabbath-keeping Church of God, established on Shavuot in Jerusalem, has never waged war against anybody and merely shares the plain truth and leaves it up to others to do with it as they choose.
Plea to Diehard Catholics & Protestants to Repent
The Jews have the Book of Joshua and Baruch Goldstein.
What dark humanist, what woeful ignoramus wrote such an article? Joshua was of the Tribe of Joseph and Joseph isn't Jewish! The Israelites (including Jews) were submitting to the Word and Will of our Great Creator God who exercises His prerogative of who lives and who dies and who alone has the power to resurrect all in His good time. Dr. Baruch Goldstein, devout husband and father, appears to have been set up by Shabak, framed and murdered. Barry Chamish offers compelling evidence to shed light on the incident.
Christian civilization underwent a Reformation
Again, the Roman Catholic Cult is not Christian - it is Catholic and a whitewashed continuation of the Babylonian Mystery religion and wasn't "reformed" enough or it would have confessed and forsaken BABYLON for Jerusalem.

separated Church from State and encouraged scholarship and democracy. Judaism has followed a similar process
It is great to be free from Roman Catholic domination (however short lived, the worst is yet to come according to the Prophets) but now we have secularism with its godless saints and evolution and moral relativism just as primitive but appearing, like Satan, to be enlightened. It is an artificial separation between Church and State or Synagogue and State and the bitter fruits are rotting everywhere around us and stink to high Heaven.
Separation of Church and State? Says Who?
A few deranged anti-abortion snipers aside
Those who permit or engage in the bloody business of wholesale slaughter of the innocents are deranged. Such pro-abortion fanatics are showing the symptoms of a Sodomite society immersed in the selfishness of sin and drowning in self-destruction, aborting our future with cold calculation and perverted premeditation.
Abortion: Blood of Innocents (Jeremiah 7:31)
Look through the Bible and you can find the equivalent fire and brimstone.
Another hateful swipe by the secular sword out for the blood of the faithful; another attack against Bible-believers.
But to contemporary Jewish and Christian clerics...these passages serve more as embarrassment than inspiration.
Such clerics of convenience over conscious, expressing idolatrous ideas rather than submit to biblical ideals and teach Torah, are an embarrassment to Christianity and Judaism and are unworthy to call themselves Christian or Jewish ministers.
Such "modern" cultists, the erev rav, worship at the altar of humanism and dance naked in their delusions around the golden calf (erected by the politically correct) and expose how biblically wrong they are, estranged from our Father God (Isa. 55:7-9).
Such souls in exile must hear the call of Elijah and return to their spiritual senses, swallow their pounded pride, or die in the wilderness of their own making (Malachi 4:4).

Read Beyond Babylon yet?
Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall is destined to become a national debate and an international controversy because it dares to speak the plain truth in a world of lies!
Contents
Introduction
Beyond Babylon
Chapter One
Survival Guaranteed!
The DEVASTATION unleashed against America and her British allies was without precedent. Destruction was everywhere and a body count impossible. The catastrophe was beyond calculation.
Europe - gripped with a messianic furor - justified this mass destruction of the body to "save the soul." Besides, they had the blessing of the pope. His white robes were stained with the blood of many martyrs.
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 2
Why National Defeat?
Why are we in mortal danger? Why will the American, British and Jewish people SUFFER national defeat? How could Europe ever turn against us?
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 3
Truth or Consequences
As global tensions increase, and threats of confrontation escalate, we might very well wonder whether humanity will survive. Unless there’s a GOD to intervene, we have a bleak future indeed: a DEAD PLANET! Will earth become a nuclear fireball? Will charred bones - aftermath of unleashed atomic fires - and the smoldering ruins of a suicidal civilization be all that’s left?
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 4
Victims of Tradition
Whenever our behavior gets out of control, God lets us loose control! When we’re held hostage to bad habits, and refuse to let them go, we go into captivity! A national lack of discipline results in God sending corrective punishment! Then we wake up and get with it, and beg God to save us. The whole purpose is to bring us to our knees and senses.
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 5
Europe's Fate
What’s going to happen to Europe? We know what’s going to happen to the American and British peoples, as well as to our Jewish brethren. The coming WORLD CRISIS is prophesied to fall especially hard on them. Why?
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 6
Jesus and the Jews
Why don't the Jews accept Jesus?" I've been asked that so many times. My usual reply? "Why haven't the Christians?" At least the Jews are waiting for the proper imperial restoration. The Messiah's coming to sit on DAVID'S THRONE - not Caesar's or "St. Peter's." The Anointed One's going to rule from JERUSALEM - not Rome!
Beyond Babylon
Chapter 7
Elijah's Key Role
Israel's about to host the greatest showdown on earth! A spiritual conflict of interests will create such a scene in Jerusalem that the whole world will watch! Zion will be an arena of prophets and sorcerers, warriors and kings! The forces of good and evil are set to duel: the sons of light will battle the sons of darkness, and truth will confront error head-on!

British-Israelites and Jews in grave danger
The American, British and Jewish peoples are in serious trouble. Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall warns that due to our idolatry and immorality, our nations are prophesied to fall and fall hard if we don't turn from our ways and remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities (Malachi 4:4).
Our Great Creator God, the God of Jacob-Israel, is removing His protective shield from our borders and our lands will soon be ravaged by both the weather and men, but God in His mercy, in His patience, has permitted us a grace period that is about to end. We have been suffering the consequences of sin and such divine punishment will only intensify and escalate, as we demand, to drive the message home (Daniel 9:11).
Many will find themselves homeless due to famine and destruction, and if we remain proud and stubborn and refuse to hear and heed and save ourselves, we'll suffer greater destruction, leading to our defeat and deportation, conquered by the fascist EU under German-Jesuit influence. America will be homeless. The British Commonwealth will be homeless. Israel will be homeless. We'll have been exiled from our God-given Garden of Eden. The choice is ours. God help us to make the right choice and do the right thing and CHOOSE LIFE! (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Daniel 9:11
11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.
Malachi 4:4
4 “ Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Our Great Creator God, the God of Jacob-Israel, is removing His protective shield from our borders and our lands will soon be ravaged by both the weather and men, but God in His mercy, in His patience, has permitted us a grace period that is about to end. We have been suffering the consequences of sin and such divine punishment will only intensify and escalate, as we demand, to drive the message home (Daniel 9:11).
Many will find themselves homeless due to famine and destruction, and if we remain proud and stubborn and refuse to hear and heed and save ourselves, we'll suffer greater destruction, leading to our defeat and deportation, conquered by the fascist EU under German-Jesuit influence. America will be homeless. The British Commonwealth will be homeless. Israel will be homeless. We'll have been exiled from our God-given Garden of Eden. The choice is ours. God help us to make the right choice and do the right thing and CHOOSE LIFE! (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Israelis Jews must reclaim Holy Land occupied by Roman Catholics
The Vatican again exposes its inherent hostility towards Jews and Israel by railing against Christian Zionists.
In light of the Vatican's recent outburst, venomous against Israel and those who prefer it to an accursed "Palestine," Israel would be wise to reclaim those areas of the Holy Land of Israel that "Edom" presently occupies and restore them to proper Jewish hands. Why should the Israelis permit such sworn enemies to have a foothold in Jerusalem upon Mount Zion (or anywhere in the Jewish Homeland) with their evil eye upon the Temple Mount?
Israel must demand the return of the Temple treasures the Vatican holds hostage and investigate Shimon Peres' collaboration with the Germans and Jesuits against Yitzhak Rabin and Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem.
David Ben-Ariel is a Christian-Zionist writer and author of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall. With a focus on the Middle East and Jerusalem, his analytical articles help others improve their understanding of that troubled region. Check out the Beyond Babylon blog.
