I think Obama really is the Anti-Christ.

(Washington, D.C., May 20, 2009) — Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has just finished his visit to Washington. Full analysis on my weblog, including a link to the YouTube clip of me on Glenn Beck’s show with a former CIA analyst who says he wouldn’t care if Israel ceased to exist.

That said, there’s more troubling news this morning. I’m horrified by credible reports that in his June 4th speech in Cairo, President Obama will say it is time to divide Jerusalem and make the holy city the capital of a Palestinian state.
No, Mr. President, it is not
Jerusalem is and should be the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Dividing Jerusalem will not make peace. Rather, it would send a message to every Radical Islamic jihadist around the world that Israel is weak, that the Jews won’t even defend the sovereignty of their own capital, that there is “blood in the water,” and that it is time to strike Israel and wipe her off the map. Dividing Jerusalem would trigger an apocalyptic war in the Middle East the likes of which the region has never seen.
I am committed to doing everything I possibly can to educate people — and particularly U.S. and Canadian evangelical Christians — to the threats facing Israel and the West due to Radical Islam, and to the biblical responsibility we have to show unconditional love and unwavering support to Israel and the Jewish people. We’ll use radio, TV, the internet, emails and other media to get the word out. But we can’t do it alone. We want and need your help.
One idea: let’s build an alliance of one million true friends of Israel — people who love Israel, are committed to blessing her in real and practical ways, are absolutely opposed to dividing Jerusalem, and will pray faithfully for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of all the people of the epicenter.
Currently, we have 100,000 subscribers to our Flash Traffic email updates who are committed to this cause. If each of us recruited just 10 new friends to sign up for Flash Traffic and be part of this alliance, we would be able to communicate new information, new projects, and new prayer requests to them instantly. We would be able to mobilize people for pro-Israel events. We would be able to mobilize people to write to President Obama and their Congressional leaders to stand with Israel, not against her. We would be able to work together to stockpile food, clothing, medical supplies and other aid in Israel ahead of the next war. And we would be able to encourage one another with the knowledge that we are not alone in this important fight.
Will you join us?

COME TO ISRAEL AND ATTEND THE “JERUSALEM PRAYER SUMMIT”
Israel has never needed the unconditional love and unwavering support of evangelical Christians more than she does today. Yes, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are making threats. But the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a great and mighty God. He is calling us to bless Israel and show her our love in a real and practical way.
That’s why we are moving forward with The Joshua Fund’s next “Prayer & Vision Trip,” and we would love for you to join us. It will be held November 5-17, 2009, and culminate in our first-ever “Jerusalem Prayer Summit.”
And now, by God’s grace, we have been able to reduce the price by $600 per couple.
If you have never been to the Holy Land, it is hard to describe what a profound spiritual effect such a journey can have on you and your family. You may have heard others say God’s Word seemed to “come alive” in a new way when they walked where Jesus walked, from the shores of Galilee to the Mount of Olives and into the streets of Jerusalem. Well, it’s true, and I believe our 2009 Israel trip will allow you to experience this for yourself and intensify your desire to walk closely with Jesus Christ.
If you have been to Israel before, this trip will be a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of how powerfully the Lord is moving there. I will teach at key locations and answer your questions about the future of the epicenter. You will have the opportunity to meet with and pray for local pastors and ministry leaders. We are arranging for you to spend time engaged in a practical Joshua Fund ministry project to bless the poor and needy. What’s more, you will participate in a two-day conference to pray for the peace of Jerusalem at this critical hour.
We can take up to 300 people, and to make your experience as personal and special as possible, you will be assigned to one of seven buses of about 45 people. Each bus will be hosted by a Joshua Fund staff or board member or couple, or one of our close allies. You will ride that bus with your host every day, and in the process you’ll get to know the people on your bus, study the Bible with them, pray with and for them, discover Israel together with them, ask questions with them, and thus form a small community. Lord willing, I will rotate through the buses to get to know you and answer your questions. Each bus will also have a professional, licensed Israeli tour guide who know every detail of the country inside and out.
Please click the link below, learn more, pray about it, and then — if the Lord gives you the green light — please sign up and come with us, while there is still space.
As always, we will do our best to keep you up-to-date on the kinds of projects we are doing, and brief you on how those projects are proceeding. We will also let you know about the kinds of projects we are developing for the future. In no way do we want to pressure anyone to give financially. We fully believe the Lord will provide for the needs of the people we seek to serve. But if you or others wish to help, we welcome your support, and all financial gifts are tax-deductible.

The Truth Of Iraq 2009
How about no?
If he does, the msm will turn on him. I am seeing things in the media lately that tels me they are beginning to have a few doubts. All it will take is one ‘biggy’ in the msm to start a feeding freenzy.
How could uhbama do this to the Israel? Why? Why would he make the city that harbors not only incredible history of the Jewish faith (starting with the promised land in out Bible) but of TREMENDOUS historical importance to Christains, as well. What is uhbama trying to do...start a world war?
I pray Israel tells Hussein Obama to go straight to hell.
A man has to know his limitations.
BHO has a lesson coming up now.
I think Obama really is the Anti-Christ.
(The bombing of Iran starts in 10 minutes)
Now that Hussein is gone, BO wants the Caliphate for himself...
how is something dated may 20 urgent on july 2?
I don't believe that.
Obama is insane.
He can propose all he wants. The Israelis can tell him to screw himself.
I actually find it difficult to believe Obama would do this in a speech to the Muslim world.
He would be crazy to openly call for Jerusalem to be the capital of a Palestinian state.
Not that he would not do it, he just would do it off the record and try to force Israel hand by blackmail
A Cup of Trembling
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about.... Jerusalem twill be] a burdensome stone for all people....in that day will I make the governors of Judah...like a torch off re in a sheaf; and they shall devour an the people round about...” Zechariah 12:2,3,6
When the above prophecies were written about 2,500 years ago, Jerusalem lay in ruins. Its history thereafter was repeated destruction, the Jews scattered everywhere and hounded to the death. Yet God brought His despised people back into their own land in 1948. And today, hanging like a millstone around its neck, Jerusalem is the number one problem the UN faces, as the prophets foretold.
Israel is insignificant in size, but formidable. America failed miserably to rescue its hostages in Iran, but Israel recovered hers from the heart of Africa and lost only one man. When Iraq defiantly went about developing nuclear weapons, Israel bombed its facility out of existence. Israel’s forces could take over Cairo, Damascus and Beirut. She is indeed like “a torch of fire in a sheaf” capable of “devouring] all people round about.” Most of the nations of today’s world refuse to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. They want it to be under international control. The Vatican has demanded the internationalization of Jerusalem for 48 years. Recently the heads of the Christian community in Jerusalem called for)r its internationalization. The World Council of Churches demands the same. Amazingly, Israel’s leaders have secretly offered to hand over sovereignty of Jerusalem’s Old City to the Vatican. Jerusalem is to become the “second Vatican of the world.”’
The Bible’s more than 800 references to Jerusalem offer the only explanation for its astonishing importance on today’ s world stage: Jerusalem is “the City of our God” (Ps 4X: 1,8) chosen by Him to play a special role in human destiny. Moreover, Jerusalem is intended to be the capital of a specific land far larger than Israel occupies today-”from the river of Egypt unto...the river Euphrates” (Gn Is l#~given by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an “everlasting inheritance” (Gn 13:15; Jer7:7, etc.).
Even the Koran designates the children of Israel as the “people of the Book” whom Moses led into the promised land and to whom that land belongs (Surah2:63 ff.; 5:19-24,68,70; 10:91,94; 44:30 ff; etc.). Nevertheless, Islam insists that Israel belongs to the Arabs. Therefore, the Jewish state must be destroyed! Otherwise, Islam has been proven a false religion. That is the issue. Deceptive peace talk by Arabs serves only to position them better for the annihilation of Israel. Yes, apparent peace will he established, but it will lead to Armageddon.
To defeat this young David militarily from without is clearly a vain hope for the Arab Goliaths who have tried and failed repeatedly. She must be destroyed from within by a “peace offensive.” The Arab strategy is clear: make overtures of peace, sign peace accords, and by whatever subterfuge that works gain a foothold within the borders of Israel from which to launch the final attack that will bring about her complete destruction. To imagine that the Arabs have any other intention is to be deceived.
Yet even some evangelicals are under the delusion that current negotiations are bringing real peace. Lately TBN’s Paul Crouch and CBN’s Pat Robertson have been promoting that fantasy. Supposedly God’s peace is being engineered by a Muslim terrorist organization and an unbelieving Israeli leadership which is disobeying God in bartering land He gave to Israel that was never to be given up !
Yasser Arafat knows better. Early in 1994, in a speech at a Johannesburg mosque, he called for continuing jihad (holy war) by the Arabs to retake Jerusalem. Arafat left no doubt as to his meaning: “This agreement [between the PLO and Israel], I am not considering it more than the agreement which had been signed between our Prophet Muhammad and Kuraish.” After signing a “peace treaty” with his own tribe, the Kuraish, Mohammed broke it on a pretext, killed the Kuraish leaders and conquered Mecca. So Arafat was saying that the PLO’s agreement with Israel is only a step toward her conquest and is intended to be broken.
Furthermore, the conquest not only of Israel but of the world is Islam’ s unchangeable goal. Everyone in the West knows about the Iron and bamboo Curtains and communism’s determination to take over the world. Yet the Islamic Curtain is never mentioned in the media nor is Islam’s intention to conquer the world for Allah. There was more freedom of religion in the former Soviet Union and there remains more today in communist China than there is in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, the Sudan and other Islamic countries. The spread of Islam’s mosques throughout the Western world accelerates even while Islam denies the same oven liberty for other religions in territories it controls. It is estimated that fully one-third of the world’s population will have embraced this fastest growing religion by the end of this decade.
From the very beginning, Islam has been a religion of conquest. Muhammad himself led 27 invasions of neighboring towns, and during his lifetime his followers engaged in about 50 more. The conquered peoples were given the choice of conversion to Islam or death. At times, a third alternative was granted: the payment of heavy tribute. Islam converted by force the vast regions it now dominates and where conversion of a Muslim to another religion is forbidden. The penalty for conversion is death in Saudi Arabia today.
Islamic terrorists are playing out their special role in Islam’ s intended conquest of the world. That Islam offers those who die in jihad assurance of Paradise encourages the most effective terrorists, the suicide bombers who conceal on their bodies _ explosives which they detonate to kill Israelis. “The faces of [these] martyred [heroes] stare down at you from a thousand postered walls in Beirut and Tehran....When an Egyptian soldier named Suleiman Khater went berserk in the Sinai and killed five Israeli tourists, what did Iran do? It declared him a hero, named a street after him and set aside a day honoring him....”2
The late Ayatollah Khomeini explained. “The purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for God.” In its war against Iraq, Iran cleared minefields by utilizing thousands of young schoolboys to walk along in front of troops and tanks. In 1982, in one minefield alone, about 5,000 children were torn to bits exploding the mines so that the army could move across the cleared path.3
Arab terrorism is passed off as the fault of a tiny minority of fanatics who are out of step with mainstream Islam and the educated Arab world. On the contrary, the Koran says in Surah 5:33 (see also 47:4) that all those who oppose Allah (i.e., non-Muslims) are to be “killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off....” Surah 9:5 says to “slay the [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush....”
Nevertheless, the major world media remains pro-Arab and anti-Israel. That bias is demonstrated almost daily. Consider the sanitization of the terrorist organization Hamas after one of its agents blew himself up on a bus in Tel Aviv, killing 22 and wounding many others.4 That afternoon CNN news commentator Salary Bowker commented that while most people think of a terrorist organization when they hear the word Hamas, “the group actually does quite a bit more than that....” Rosemary Hollis, an “expert” being interviewed, added, “They are part of the community. Many professionals of l-Iamas...will perform functions ...in the schools, or in the clinics or through the mosques...[for] the poor people.”
Other networks continued the whitewash, including America’s most watched news program, ABC’ s “World News Tonight” with Peter Jennings. The Jerusalem Post has said, “In turning a massacre of Israelis into pro-Palestinian propaganda, no one is a greater virtuoso than ABC-TV’ s Peter Jennings.”5 There was not a word that anyone had been killed in the bus bombing, which Jennings explained as an act of revenge for an earlier attack upon a mosque by an Israeli.
Inexcusably, Jennings failed to distinguish between an impulsive outburst by a deranged individual acting on his own and a carefully planned attack by an organization which has devoted itself to terrorism with the backing of Arab nations. I Hamas declares that every Muslim is obliged to aid in Israel’ s destruction. Jennings described these professional murderers as “devout and politically aware Moslems” and depicted them as heroes. No blame was leveled at Hamas, but Israel was blamed for the death of one of her own soldiers, Nahshon Wachsman, kidnapped by Hamas who, said Jennings, “subsequently died when the Israelis tried to rescue him by force.” Shame on Israel for defending herself!
Tom Brokaw was not to be outdone. From Jerusalem he presented a program called “The Story of the Israeli Fathers.” It “featured interviews with Nahshon Wachsman ‘ s father, Yehuda Wachsman, and Tyassir Natsche, a ‘wealthy Arab merchant,’ the father of one of Nahshon ‘ s kidnappers. [Commented Brokaw], ‘Two fathers in the Middle East, both grieving...religious men, joined, for now, only in the deaths of their sons.”’6 One wonders by what rationale the death of the one murdered could be placed on the same level as the death of the one who kidnapped and killed him. What a masterful deception !
Of 21 Arab countries, not one is a democracy. There is no freedom of religion, and other basic rights are often denied. One must be a Muslim, for example, to be a citizen of Saudi Arabia. Christian meetings, public or private, are forbidden. Five Christians from the Philippines were recently imprisoned for holding a home Bible meeting.7
The death penalty for blaspheming Muhammad has been in force in Pakistan since 1991. In the Sudan, Christians are being literally crucified. Yet Muslims living in the West enjoy the freedom of religion, of the press and of speech that is denied to non-Muslims in Arab countries. In America, thousands of its citizens, including Muslims, protested its participation in the Gulf War; but in Saudi Arabia, one of our allies for whose freedom we were fighting, the government warned that anyone protesting the war effort would have a hand and a leg cut off or be executed.8 As Robert Morey explains in Islamic Invasion (see books we offer):
Islamic law does not recognize freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, or freedom of the press...non-Muslims...are routinely denied even the most basic civil rights....
Incarceration without due process; the use of torture; political assassination; the cutting off of hands, feet, ears, tongues, and heads; and the gouging out of eyes-all of these things are part of Islamic law today because they were part of seventh-century Arabian culture....Unless this is firmly grasped ...[Westerners] will never understand why Muslims think and act the way they do....
The denial of civil rights to women which is clearly in the text of the Quran itself is reflective of seventh-century Arabian culture and its low view of women.9
Anti-Semitism on the part of non Muslims, too, is rising worldwide. A safe haven for Jews is needed, as it was in Hitler’s day. Yet as then, so now, that refuge is being refused. Israelis running out of housing space and the whole world sides with the terrorists in demanding a stop to construction of Jewish housing in “the occupied territories.”
“Occupied territories”? God promised this land to His people. Anyone opposing full possession and enjoyment of Israel’ s heritage is rebelling against God and comes under the curse which He established: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee...” (Gn 12:3). Those who believe the Bible are forced to admit that the “promised land” belongs to Abraham’s descendants to whom God gave it and must pray for their peaceful enjoyment of that land.
It is not a matter of being “pro-Israel” or “pro-Arab” or “anti” either of these peoples, but of agreeing with God. Tragically, in trying to take back land from Israel, the Arab nations are opposing God and thereby robbing them-selves of the blessing He promised to those who would bless Israel. Bluster, anger and terrorism cannot change the facts. God will have His way. Unfortunately, most Israelis themselves do not believe God.
Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt and is giving back the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians. Early in February 1995, in a _ brief military ceremony, Israel returned to Jordan 340 square kilometers of land. Radio Jordan announced triumphantly, “Jordan has achieved full sovereignty over lands that Israel had occupied.” By such deeds, Israel is repudiating the very promises of God who gave her this land “for ever” (Ex 32:11-13; 37:25; Jer 2s:4-5, etc.) and forbade her to sell it (Lv 25 :23). Instead of looking to God, Israel is seeking “peace” in the most naive of partnerships with its two most implacable enemies in history, the Vatican and Islam.
Amazingly, Israel is proudly trusting in her own capabilities. In the declaration of Israel’s rebirth made by David Ben-Gurion, May 14, 1948, no mention was made of the God who had restored her to her land! Itzhak Rabin, Major General and Israeli Chief of Staff at the time of Israel’s smashing 1967 victory, boasted, “All this has been done by the Israel defense forces alone, with what we have, without anything or anybody else.”” How different was King David’s attitude, who won even greater victories and gave God all the credit. And how much suffering yet lies ahead of modern Israel until she learns to put her trust in the same One and realizes how desperately she needs David’ s God! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. TBC
Meshugge schvartzer.
‘Land for peace’ will not work when the vast majority of those arrayed against Israel are religious and ideological driven by hate, antisemitism, anti-zionism, and the end all destruction of the state of Israel, period.
To many of them, the acts of terrorism committed against Israel are justified in that there is no such thing as ‘innocents’ in Israel, only occupiers.
Dividing Jerusalem will NOT solve the problem(s) when the problem(s) run far deeper than otherwise being admitted. Likewise, dividing Jerusalem and creating a Palestinian state will NOT end the violence and terrorism aimed at the state of Israel.
‘Land for peace’ is simply a pacifying move that solves nothing. Land now given means that those arrayed against Israel will simply assert in the future that they want more Israeli land and so on, till there is nothing to be called ‘Israel’ but the ultimate Arab-Muslim goal: the reemergence of the true Palestine.
I share your amazement.

“Obama clarifies united J’lem comment”
By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1212659672984&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
I’ll believe this when I see it.
Unwavering support?
So do I.
3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
Zechariah 12:8-9
8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
When did Obama buy Israel? How many factories is he going to close?
Things like that really make you wonder, don’t they?
Obama can make his demand. Then let him try and enforce it. He will quickly find out what a paper tigher he really is. But if he persists, America will pay a steep price, for we will drive Israel into the arms of China as its new strategic partner. As a former intel man, I can tell you that most people have no clue how much Israeli intel has helped us thwart terror attacks over the past 8 years. It would be devastating to lose all that, merely for the sake of satisfying Barack Hussein Obama’s desire to get back to his Muslim roots.
As such, the problem persists with this:
“He refused, however, to rule out other configurations, such as the city also serving as the capital of a Palestinian state or Palestinian sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods.”
The Palestinians had their chance when division was offered; they rejected it; Israel may well not concede to such again.
Hussein Osam....bama says Iran has a right to possess nuclear weapons. Israel must BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN!
URGENT: JERUSALEM TO IGNORE OBAMA
Israel is not going to give up half of Jerusalem.
The Muslims have Mecca and other places. They don’t need to steal the temple mount. I don’t think Israel will let them. I would certainly hope not.
Obama, Israel is not yours to carve up.
It’s a sovereign nation and it’s not going to give up it’s territory anymore than you would give Maine to Canada. (Probably a bad example, because he would if Canada even hinted that they wanted it...)
I'll be horrified if and when he says it. In the mean time, this strikes me as hype to sell copy.
Neither do I. No POTUS could ever do that and no presidential staff would ever allow him to consider it. Forget the politics, the images of Jews being asked to leave(evicted) their holiest of holies is beyond comprehension. But then again so was the Holocaust. Still this is not going to happen.
This is my one hope for the downfall of Obama. I hate to play the G-d card, but every politican who has sought to divide Jerusalem has fallen from power and failed in their schemes......
Here’s an update from the earlier story.
(Hope both of you are well)
oh I agree 100%
This is the kind of thing that can lead directly to war, do not pass go, do not collect $200. He's throwing a grenade into 55 gallon drum of aviation fuel.
In 1982, in one minefield alone, about 5,000 children were torn to bits exploding the mines so that the army could move across the cleared path.
Until all people (especially cowardly liberals) confront the true evil that Islam is, and stop engaging in ostrich-like political correctness, this monster will continue to devour human life and freedom around the globe.
I'd like to know what happened to the 10,000 parents of those Iranian boys who were blown to bits by the Iranian military. Did they simply succumb to this in their grief, or have they joined in secret to oppose the evil that rules their country?
Troll?
Please point me in their direction. All I continue to see is constant fawning by the MSM.
I really hate this man. Who died and made him boss of the world?
The same reason he hasn't condemned the murder of a US Soldier by a Muslim.
Obama is a Muslim.
Yep... it's gotta be coming. He's like a Marxist bull in a China shop. He's wrecking everything. Certainly the media will have a moment of clarity and say: "Oh wait, this is not good, not good at all..."
WHERE IS THE TAPE, LA TIMES???? WHERE IS IT?
Kinda like allowing the Confederacy to share Washington as it’s Capitol.
Anyone know how old Jerusalem is?
