Is there a King or Queen still sitting on the Throne of Judah?...
THE QUEEN'S ROYAL DESCENT
FROM KING DAVID THE PSALMIST.
A. B. Grimaldi: THE possible descent of Queen Victoria from King David was first entered upon in the present day by Rev. F. R A. Glover, M.A. ("England the Remnant of Judah." London, 1861). He did not, however, attempt to give the genealogy link by link, nor enter into the proofs in detail. Since then the whole subject of Her Majesty's Jewish ancestry has been further examined by various students and writers on our Israelitish origin. Mr. J. C. Stephens has compiled a "Genealogical Chart, shewing the Connection between the House of David and the Royal Family of Britain." (Liverpool, 1877.) This gives the descent from Abraham to Zedekiah in full, as found in Matthew. It then gives twelve generations only between Heremon, B.C. 580, and Victoria, A.D. 1819, thus, of course, omitting a great number of links. The descent of our Royal Family from the royal line of Judah is, however, no new discovery. The Saxon kings traced themselves back to Odin, who was traced back to his descent from David, as may be seen in a very ancient MS. in the Herald's College, London; and in Sharon Turner. ("History of the Anglo-Saxons," vol. i.) The full and complete genealogy of Victoria from David does not appear to have been ever printed; and it has, therefore, been thought that it would be useful, as well as interesting, to put it on record, both for reference and testimony. In its compilation reliable works of reference have been used - such as Anderson ("Royal Genealogies." London, 1732). Keating ("History of Ireland." Dublin, 1723), Lavoisne ("Genealogical and Historical Atlas." London, 1814), as well as those mentioned above, and others. Perfect accuracy is hardly to be expected in such an attempt; but it is believed that the genealogy is as correct as our present knowledge of this obscure and intricate subject will permit.
In the following genealogy those who reigned have K prefixed to their names. The dates after private names refer to their birth and death; those after Sovereign's names, to their accession and death. Wherever known, the wives have been mentioned. Besides those mentioned in Genesis, some have been obtained from Polano ("The Talmud." London, 1877). b. and d. stand for born and died.

WE issue this Leaflet to serve the grand and valuable object of supplying a necessary link in proving the Identity of the British Nation with the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. This we have abundantly proved in the Pamphlet, entitled "Forty-Seven Identifications of the British with Lost Israel," price 6d., to be had of Messrs. S. W. Partridge & Co., and Mr. W. H.. Guest, both of Paternoster Row. But we could not be identical with Israel unless Queen Victoria was in a line with David, it being written - "Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the Kingdom OVER ISRAEL to David FOR EVER; to him, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?" (2 Chron. 13:5; 21:7). We have always been able to trace David's seed to Queen Tephi, of Ireland, who was the daughter of Zedekiah : but the difficulty has been to supply a chart of the line from Queen Tephi to King Fergus, of Scotland. This we now supply, through the valuable research of the Rev. A. B. GRIMALDI, M.A., and is in itself a matter vital to the very best interests of the British Empire.

Holy Jerusalem and the Temple of God
Speaking of some of the saints who were temporarily restored to physical life to testify about Yeshua's resurrection, after jealous Jewish leaders delivered Him to the bloody Romans to murder, we find, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit:
Matthew 27:53
...and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into THE HOLY CITY and appeared to many.
Paul, speaking of the imminent Third Temple, the holy TEMPLE OF GOD (the Temple of God - not just of the Jews or any other conspiracy theory that contradicts Scripture), that Europe's wannabe divine emperor will pollute, coveting it since Satan knows (even if some religious folks don't) it is the TEMPLE OF GOD:
2 Thessalonians 2:4
...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the TEMPLE OF GOD, showing himself that he is God.
Speaking of the imminent Third Temple and EU occupation of Jerusalem (whose days are numbered when they trespass upon the Temple Mount), and simultaneous ministry of the Two Witnesses, the apostle John was inspired by the Holy Spirit to foretell:
Revelation 11:1-3
1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the TEMPLE OF GOD [not merely of the Jews or of the Masons or Illuminati or whoever], the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread THE HOLY CITY underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
Speaking of the imminent clash between Catholic Europe and Islam with Jerusalem's holy Temple Mount caught in the middle:
Daniel 11:40-45
At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. 44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.
Jerusalem is holy in the biblical sense it has been called to fulfill its awesome calling to become the City of our God, the City of the Great King. It has been sanctified, set apart for a holy purpose that it will soon fulfill. It is holy, even though it is a sinful city, just like Israel and Judah are holy, set apart, sanctified, and need to learn to live holy lives.
The New Jerusalem doesn't come down from Heaven until after the initial thousand year reign of Christ who will subdue all opposition and destroy all enemies, including death and Satan when the Earth is purified by fire. Then the Father comes with New Jerusalem - the Sabbath-keepingChurch of God is a type of it.
Meanwhile, we pray for Judah and intercede for Jerusalem:
Isaiah 62:1-2
1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory.
You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the LORD will name.
Isaiah 62:6-7
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
These watchmen are the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 -- Two Witnesses who will testify in Jerusalem against Europe. They will announce to the cities of Judah and comfort captive Israel (all Twelve Tribes) that our God will come and save us.
Isaiah 35:4
4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
"Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and save you."
Isaiah 25:9
9 And it will be said in that day:
"Behold, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the LORD;
We have waited for Him;
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

The Temple Mount: Judaism's holiest site?
Why does Israel enable Muslim religious discrimination against Jews and Christians daily? It's past time the Israeli government act responsibly and end the deplorable status quo upon the Temple Mount, and restore Judaism's holiest site as the Temple Mount, hosting a "a House of Prayer for all peoples" as envisioned by the Prophets.

Identity theft!
Members of a ´Lost Tribe of Israel´ Return to Zion
17:26 Nov 22, '06 / 1 Kislev 5767
by IsraelNationalNews.com Staff
Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion Airport was the setting for an emotional homecoming Tuesday morning, when the first planeload of 51 Bnei Menashe immigrants arrived here on an El Al flight from Bombay.
*******************************
Name: David Ben-Ariel
Hometown: Toledo, Ohio, USA/Menashe
Title: Identity theft!
What a massive fraud. Such obvious INDIAN CONVERTS to Judaism may be "Jews," but they are certainly not Joes - descendants of Menashe ben Yosef. They don't bear a single identifying biblical birthmark of fulfilled prophecy. Such biblical birthmarks for Joes, for Joseph's sons Ephraim and Menashe, are ONLY found among the Anglo-Saxon peoples. When will the Chief Rabbinate and others recognize Joseph rather than fall for such brazen identity theft?

Restore Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.
Matti Friedman's AP article - "At Temple Mount Holy Site, What Is Treasure?" - exposes how the Wakf engaged in unsupervised and illegal gouging of the Temple Mount (the holy site of both Solomon's Temple and Zerubbabel Temple enlarged by Herod that Jesus and the apostles worshipped in), removing tons of its historically rich soil and callously dumping it in the nearby Kidron Valley (that I've walked through many times, climbing the Mount of Olives). Such atrocious acts reveal a serious lack of proper respect for archaeology and other religions and serve as an indictment against the Wakf and the Israeli government for looking the other way.
However, this serious breach of religious respect and tolerance for non-Muslims is nothing new, as a Muslim mob overran the biblical patriarch Joseph's Tomb, site of a synagogue, burnt the Torah scrolls and murdered the rabbi who supervised the site, as well as a Druse officer trying to protect it, and utterly trashed the holy place. And who can forget the Muslim terrorists holed up in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, using the baptismal font as a latrine and abusing the New Testaments there? Not to mention the daily religious discrimination upon the Temple Mount where they illegally forbid Christians and Jews from praying or reading the Bible.
These are the concrete actions of the leaders of the "Palestinian" community, documented actions that are in stark contrast to the virtues they profess to the Western media about religious tolerance and freedom of access to religious sites within "Palestine."
It's past time the Israeli government act responsibly and change the deplorable status quo upon the Temple Mount, and restore Judaism's holiest site as the Temple Mount, hosting a "a House of Prayer for all Peoples" as envisioned by the Prophets.

Matti Friedman's AP article - "At Temple Mount Holy Site, What Is Treasure?" - exposes how the Wakf engaged in unsupervised and illegal gouging of the Temple Mount (the holy site of both Solomon's Temple and Zerubbabel Temple enlarged by Herod that Jesus and the apostles worshipped in), removing tons of its historically rich soil and callously dumping it in the nearby Kidron Valley (that I've walked through many times, climbing the Mount of Olives). Such atrocious acts reveal a serious lack of proper respect for archaeology and other religions and serve as an indictment against the Wakf and the Israeli government for looking the other way.
However, this serious breach of religious respect and tolerance for non-Muslims is nothing new, as a Muslim mob overran the biblical patriarch Joseph's Tomb, site of a synagogue, burnt the Torah scrolls and murdered the rabbi who supervised the site, as well as a Druse officer trying to protect it, and utterly trashed the holy place. And who can forget the Muslim terrorists holed up in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, using the baptismal font as a latrine and abusing the New Testaments there? Not to mention the daily religious discrimination upon the Temple Mount where they illegally forbid Christians and Jews from praying or reading the Bible.
These are the concrete actions of the leaders of the "Palestinian" community, documented actions that are in stark contrast to the virtues they profess to the Western media about religious tolerance and freedom of access to religious sites within "Palestine."
It's past time the Israeli government act responsibly and change the deplorable status quo upon the Temple Mount, and restore Judaism's holiest site as the Temple Mount, hosting a "a House of Prayer for all Peoples" as envisioned by the Prophets.

True Christians prefer TRUTH over tradition
If anybody is honestly interested in knowing whether or not this or that doctrine is actually biblical or merely traditional, all they have to do is objectively search the Scriptures like the noble Bereans did in Acts 17:11, after hearing Paul out, to see whether what he taught was true.
Examples:
The Church of God teaches, like Jesus, "the meek shall inherit the Earth." Traditional Churchianity denies it and says folks "go to Heaven." They have many such misunderstandings, idolatrous traditions and pagan myths like about being born again and Heaven and Hell.
The Church of God keeps the same seventh day Sabbath as Yeshua and the early Church of God, both converted Jews, Israelites and Gentiles. The professing Christian world, under influence of Constantine -- not Christ -- keep pagan SUNday.
The Bible only states the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, the Lord's Day, and that God is consistent and doesn't change but warned that some would "think to change the times and the laws" (Daniel 7:25).
The Sabbath-keeping Church of God keeps the same biblical festivals, the holy days of the LORD, that Yeshua and the early Church of God kept (both converted Jews, Israelites and Gentiles), with a new and improved understanding, in spirit and in truth, not just according to the letter of the law.
Traditional Churchianity is hostile to God's holy days and have replaced them with their pagan Roman hollow days, even though biblical prophecy shows such baptized paganism will soon be history as Yeshua, the King of Israel, teaches Torah from Jerusalem and commands all nations to observe the "Jewish holidays."
It is because of such glaring differences between TRADITIONAL Christianity (following its Roman leaders and Gentilized Jesus), and the Sabbath-keeping Church of God following the Jewish Jesus, exposed by the plain truth teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, that Mr. Armstrong was so hated by many of the angry religious leaders who couldn't refute what he said and weren't prepared to change for the better. They chose tradition over truth, just like many religious leaders did in the days of the Prophets and in the days of Yeshua. Nothing new under the sun.

At Temple Mount Holy Site, What Is Treasure?

At Temple Mount Holy Site, What Is Treasure?
By MATTI FRIEDMAN
Associated Press Writer
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Off an East Jerusalem side street, between an olive
orchard and an abandoned hotel, sit a few piles of stones and dirt that
are yielding important insights into Jerusalem's history.
They come from one of the world's most disputed holy places - the square
in the heart of Jerusalem that is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and
to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
The story behind the rubble includes an underground crypt, a maverick
college student, a white-bearded archaeologist, thousands of relics
spanning millennia and a feud between Israelis and Palestinians which is
heavily shaped by ancient history.
Among finds that have emerged are a coin struck during the Jewish revolt
against the Romans, arrowheads shot by Babylonian archers and by Roman
siege machinery, Christian charms, a 3,300-year-old fragment of Egyptian
alabaster, Bronze Age flint instruments, and - the prize discovery - the
imprint of a seal possibly linked to a priestly Jewish family mentioned
in the Old Testament's Book of Jeremiah.
And the finds keep coming. On a drizzly November morning, Gabriel
Barkay, the veteran biblical archaeologist who runs the dig, sat in a
tent near the mounds examining some newly discovered coins stamped by
various Holy Land powers: the Hasmonean dynasty of Jewish kings more
than 2,000 years ago, a Roman procurator around the time of Pontius
Pilate, the early Christians of the Byzantine Empire, two Islamic
dynasties and the British in the 20th century.
Considering the wealth of findings, it is odd, perhaps, that this is an
excavation that was never supposed to happen.
Jews revere the Mount as the site of their two ancient temples. Muslims
believe it's where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven during a
nighttime journey recounted in the Quran. Two mosques stand on the site,
as do some of the temple's original retaining walls, including the
Jewish shrine called the Western Wall, but there is no visible trace of
the temple itself.
The site has been the frequent arena of Israeli-Palestinian fighting,
and its volatility has prevented archaeologists from ever touching it.
In November 1999, the Waqf, the Muslim organization that administers the
site's Islamic holy places, opened an emergency exit to an ancient
underground chamber of stone pillars and arches known to Jews as
Solomon's Stables and to Muslims as the Marwani mosque.
Ignoring fierce protest from Israeli archaeologists who said priceless
artifacts were being destroyed to erase traces of Jewish history, the
Waqf dug a large pit, removed tons of earth and rubble that had been
used as landfill and dumped much of it in the nearby Kidron Valley.
The Waqf's position was, and remains, that the rubble was of recent
vintage and without archaeological value.
Zachi Zweig, a 27-year-old archaeology undergraduate at Bar Ilan
University near Tel Aviv, showed up at the dump a few days later. Though
Israel's archaeological establishment had shown no interest in the
rubble, Zweig was sure it was important, especially after a Waqf
representative told him to leave.
Zweig returned surreptitiously with friends, gathered samples of the
rubble and discovered a high concentration of ancient pottery shards. He
was charged by the Israel Antiquities Authority with stealing relics -
charges that were later dropped - and finally convinced Barkay, his
lecturer at the university, that the rubble needed to be studied.
In 2004, after five years spent getting a dig license and raising funds,
they had 75 truckloads of rubble moved to a lot on the slopes of
Jerusalem's Mount Scopus.
The first coin they found, Barkay said, was one issued during the Jewish
revolt that preceded the Roman destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in
70 A.D., imprinted with the Hebrew words "Freedom of Zion."
The most valuable find so far, Barkay believes, is a clay seal
impression discovered last year. Its incomplete Hebrew lettering appears
to name Ge'aliyahu, son of Immer. Immer is the name of a family of
temple officials mentioned in Jeremiah 20:1.
Another important discovery is the many relics from the early Christian
era, which seem to disprove the notion that the site was abandoned in
those years as a symbol of God's abandonment of the Jews.
Stephen Pfann of the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem, best
known for his work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, said moving the rubble
around has jumbled its contents and diminished its scholarly value.
But even so, "This is an insight into the life of Jerusalem, and
whatever they find will be very exciting," he said.
Archaeology here, however, is rarely just about providing insight into
the past.
Barkay's dig is funded by the City of David Foundation, a hard-line
religious group which spends most of its money settling Jewish families
in Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. It's part of a broader attempt
by groups affiliated with the settler movement to make the point that
Jerusalem is Jewish.
When it removed the rubble, the Waqf was trying to destroy evidence of
Jewish history on the Temple Mount, said Uri Ragones, a foundation
spokesman. "We are going back to Jerusalem physically, learning about it
and uncovering our past. We're touching our deepest roots as a people."
For its part, the Waqf says it wasn't destroying any evidence of Jewish
presence - because there isn't any.
"I have seen no evidence of a temple," said the Waqf's director, Adnan
Husseini. He had heard "stories," he acknowledged, "but these are an
attempt to change the situation here today, and any change would be very
dangerous."
Such reactions don't surprise Israeli Historian Gershom Gorenberg, whose
book "The End of Days" documents the fight over the holy site.
"Dig a centimeter beneath the debate over antiquities," he said, "and
you hit the debate over whom the Mount belongs to, and a centimeter
beneath that is the war over whom the entire country belongs to."

Christmas is a pagan holiday in Christian drag!
Merry mass of Christ? No thank you. God rejects it and those who are becoming like Father, like Son, do too. Instead of fooling ourselves, being dishonest, stuck in the muck of traditional garbage that stinks to High Heaven, we expose it for what it is: Christmas is a pagan holiday dressed in Christian drag. This is how God blesses us - He offers us the opportunity to be set free from such religious lies. Will you FORSAKE BABYLON or suffer the plagues? Do you love God's truth more than tradition? How we respond is very revealing to God and will help determine the future of our nations.
Isaiah 58
1 “Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek Me daily,
And delight to know My ways,
As a nation that did righteousness,
And did not forsake the ordinance of their God.
They ask of Me the ordinances of justice;
They take delight in approaching God.

Gay rights, YES; Jewish rights, NO!
Gay rights, YES; Jewish rights, NO! [A Voice from Hebron]
By Gary Cooperberg
The alleged “high court of Justice” in Israel has demonstrated clearly that it neither enforces justice, nor does it possess genuine esteem for either democratic nor Jewish values. Few people know that Israeli Law permits Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. They are prevented from doing so only by an “escape clause” which states that should the police determine that as a result of Jewish prayer the Arabs are likely to riot, and thus create a situation of danger, the police have the right to prevent Jews from praying there. The police neither wish to expose worshipers to danger, nor are they willing to invest the force necessary to protect them while exercising their legal rights, so they simply deny them those rights. The Arabs have taken note of this “escape clause” and are only too happy to provide the riots which enable Jewish police to deny Jews the right to pray on their holiest site. As such it has become an axiomatic fact that Jews are not permitted to pray there!
This same “high court of Justice”, in total disregard to the sensitivities of
Jews, issued a permit for homosexuals to parade their brand of lifestyle in the
streets of Jerusalem. After all the legal protests fell on deaf ears, a large
number of hereidi Jews decided to take a lesson from the court’s reaction to
Arab “demonstrations”. Clearly if the court permits Arab rioters to prevent
Jews from exercising their legal right to pray; it would seem logical to assume
that it would (democratically) follow that it would permit Jewish rioters to
prevent queers from exercising their legal right to parade their brand of
immorality in the streets of Jerusalem.
Strangely enough this logical conclusion did not apply. The same court which would not suffer the police to muster the troops needed to protect Jews from Arab rioters, had no trouble mandating the police to use whatever forces they needed to enable the gays to parade their immorality in the streets of the holy city.
Perhaps there is a brilliant lawyer somewhere in Israel who can at least use this obvious dual standard to demand that the police permit Jews the right to exercise their legal right to pray on the Temple Mount. It really wouldn’t take a genius to present the case, nor would it take a judge with the wisdom of Solomon to determine what to do. All it would take is a court which possesses honesty, courage and a genuine sense of justice. Thus there is little hope for a change under the present system.

The Gathering Storm
The Gathering Storm
By Naomi Ragen
Friends,
Some of you have commented that I'm sending out much less
material of late. This is not your imagination. As I sit
in my little study in Jerusalem, overlooking the rolling
hills where David once fought Goliath, I feel overwhelmed by
a sense of helplessness as day after day the news gets worse
and worse. There is a line from I, Claudius, the
mini-series on ancient Rome based on Robert Graves wonderful
book that keeps going through my head. It is spoken by
Claudius, the reluctant emperor who wishes to bring back
the Republic and end the corrupt monarchy. He says: "Let all
the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out." What Claudius
means, is let the horrors brought about by perversions and
lies and corruption come to fruition so that people will
clearly see what a state their world is in, and work for
change.
We are definitely in the mud. Israeli leadership is the
most incompetent and corrupt in her history. Everyone from
our Prime Minister to our President is under investigation
from everything from bribe-taking to rape. After all the
bitter lessons of the fake Oslo Accords, that had our
children dying in the streets, we have learned nothing, as
Olmert goes once again to the Americans with yet another
deadly plan to give our enemies more land, and with it, more
opportunity, to kill us.
It's not that Israelis don't know what is going on. They
do. But people are overwhelmed by the sheer pace of events
that unfold with frightening speed from month to month.
Still reeling from the rocket attacks on the North, we must
deal with daily rocket attacks on our South and the huge
weapons influx from the Philadelphi Corridor, once closely
guarded by the IDF, which is now open to endless weapons
imports from Egypt, thanks to a decision made by people like
Mofaz and Halutz to withdraw. Every day, some other suicide
bomber is apprehended. You don't hear about it, because we
don't die, but that doesn't mean our enemies have stopped
trying to kill us.
Some people - the reserve officers whose lives were risked
in the last debacle in Lebanon- have had the gumption to
rally to bring down the corrupt government, but most of us
are mired in confusion and simple fatigue. We get
sidetracked by foolishness, like the decision to turn
Jerusalem into a world-wide venue for gay rights activism,
an idea that backfired, exposing fanaticism and hatred on
all sides. No, I didn't think the parade was a good idea,
but I was equally appalled by the violence and destruction
wreaked on Jerusalem by the parade's opponents. I also
found the activism against gay rights by the Chief Rabbinate
to be the height of hypocrisy. So concerned are they with
Jewish law and the holiness of the Jewish people that Chief
Rabbi Amar (whose own family was arrested not long ago for
assault and battery on his daughter's suitor) cancelled the
much anticipated Agunah Conference. The Conference would
have brought together Orthodox rabbis from all over the
world in a historic effort to come up with halachic
solutions to Jewish laws that encourage the blackmail and
extortion of Jewish women seeking a divorce, laws which
have turned the Jewish marriage ceremony into a life
sentence with no possibility of parole.
And while we focus all our time and energy on these
ridiculous little tempests in teapots, Iran goes on building
her atom bomb unimpeded, a bomb with our name on it. Olmert
smiles at us from the front page of newspapers as he shakes
the hand of a smiling lame duck president, confident that
the U.S. is going to stop Iran and save us. His own sons
already live in America, so I guess he isn't very worried.
But mine live here in Israel, and I am. The world seems
mired in the same kind of lethargy and Jew-hatred which
preceded the Holocaust. Open any news channel, read any
newspaper, and the story line continues to be the poor
Palestinians, even though they continue to support the most
corrupt, violent and dysfunctional regime on earth. The
lies covering up Islamic extremism and its agenda worldwide
continue to be flaunted by trendy films, TV shows, Hollywood
"stars", once-respectable newspapers, public-funded radio
shows. The victory of the Democrats over the Republicans
while certainly in response to the Bush administration's
many failures, also no doubt shows a weakening of the
resolve to face the terrorist threat head-on, and a desire
to believe that there is another, easier way to secure our
freedoms, the way of negotiation, of easing the "grievances"
that the Muslims have against the West. As Brigitte
Gabriel writes in her amazing book,Because They Hate: "Their
grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our
democratic process.''
The Jews of America, who could do so much to strengthen
their sisters and brothers in Israel, continue to be
influenced by the anti-Israel propaganda. That a large
portion of funds raised for the Israeli victims of the war
in Lebanon by the UJC were earmarked for Israeli Arabs, who
openly sided with Nasrallah, is one symptom
The complete abandonment of the Jews of Gush Katif by
American Jewry, so eager to help Arabs, is another. The
government is supposedly helping them, you'll hear these
people say. It's their own fault for not signing on the
dotted line in time, for resisting government policy. The
fact that everyone, even those who did sign, remain
jobless, homeless and poverty-stricken because of their
crime of living in an area that defended Israel's south from
terrorist bombardment for many years, is unforgivable. It's
as if we Jews have adopted the "hate the settler" philosophy
of our enemies, and wish to join the forces that want them
punished for their crime of being Zionists, and patriots,
and self-sacrificing, and loyal.
Jonathan Pollard, the spy who did not harm anyone, or any
American interest, remains behind bars because he is a Jew
who helped Israel, having long ago paid for any wrong doing,
serving more time than spies who gave information to
America's worst enemies and caused irreparable damage to her
security. And Jews are afraid to stand up for him. That is
another sign.
The rockets continue to fall on Sderot and the Negev from
Gaza. Each time we try to stop it, the world press gathers
like jackals to condemn us.
Misinformation, outright propaganda abounds. I'm sick of it.
It's like emptying a flooded cruise liner with a teaspoon.
In his book The Gathering Storm, Churchill wrote: "How
easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been
prevented: how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by
the weakness of the virtuous; how the structure and habits
of democratic States.... lack those elements of persistence
and conviction which can alone give security to humble
masses; how, even, in matters of self-preservation, no
policy is pursued for even ten or fifteen years at at time.
We shall see how the counsel of prudence and restraint may
become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle
course adopted from desires for safety and a quiet life may
be found to lead direct to the bull's-eye of disaster."
Perhaps we have passed the point of no return. Perhaps our
accumulated mistakes and crimes have created a downhill
momentum that can no longer be stopped by human effort, but
only Godly intervention, i.e. a miracle. Churchill wrote
that he gained comfort from the fact that when Nazi Germany
finally showed her true face, in a way that even the most
naive could not ignore, "my warnings over the last six years
had been so numerous, so detailed and were now so terribly
vindicated, that no one could gainsay me....I slept soundly
and had no need for cheering dreams. Facts are better than
dreams."
I doubt that the storm that is gathering, threatening all we
love, and cherish and believe in, will allow us even that
scant comfort. I do not want to be "terribly vindicated." I
want to live out my life, and die in a good old age, my
children and grandchildren safe and healthy around me, free
citizens in the land of their forefathers. This is my
dream. May God help us.

Naomi Ragen's heartfelt piece was truly a prayerful sigh and cry before Heaven for all the abominations going on in Jerusalem and throughout the world, to which I say "Amen."
Our Great Creator God is taking note of this great difference in attitude and actions between peoples and promises to spare some from greater sufferings while others will be marked for death, not counted worthy to escape or receive divine protection:
Ezekiel 9:3-5
3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
5 To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity."
Terrible times are just ahead of us, as it appears neither Joseph or Judah, the British-Israelites or Jews, will remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and spare ourselves from the Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that will demand divine intervention after 3 1/2 years or we'll all be history.
Thankfully, Two Witnesses in Jerusalem, in the spirit of Elijah, will announce to their captive audience, and assure the cities of Judah, that our God will come and save us, liberate Jerusalem from EU occupation and reign as King and teach Torah from the Temple.
Israel's Betrayal of the Jews
Ariel Sharon: From Zionist to Traitor
Kadima Wins, Israel Loses!
Ehud Olmert Playing with German Fire
Paint Israel Black: Jews to Lose Jerusalem!
Vatican Linked to the Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin
By Naomi Ragen
Friends,
Some of you have commented that I'm sending out much less
material of late. This is not your imagination. As I sit
in my little study in Jerusalem, overlooking the rolling
hills where David once fought Goliath, I feel overwhelmed by
a sense of helplessness as day after day the news gets worse
and worse. There is a line from I, Claudius, the
mini-series on ancient Rome based on Robert Graves wonderful
book that keeps going through my head. It is spoken by
Claudius, the reluctant emperor who wishes to bring back
the Republic and end the corrupt monarchy. He says: "Let all
the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out." What Claudius
means, is let the horrors brought about by perversions and
lies and corruption come to fruition so that people will
clearly see what a state their world is in, and work for
change.
We are definitely in the mud. Israeli leadership is the
most incompetent and corrupt in her history. Everyone from
our Prime Minister to our President is under investigation
from everything from bribe-taking to rape. After all the
bitter lessons of the fake Oslo Accords, that had our
children dying in the streets, we have learned nothing, as
Olmert goes once again to the Americans with yet another
deadly plan to give our enemies more land, and with it, more
opportunity, to kill us.
It's not that Israelis don't know what is going on. They
do. But people are overwhelmed by the sheer pace of events
that unfold with frightening speed from month to month.
Still reeling from the rocket attacks on the North, we must
deal with daily rocket attacks on our South and the huge
weapons influx from the Philadelphi Corridor, once closely
guarded by the IDF, which is now open to endless weapons
imports from Egypt, thanks to a decision made by people like
Mofaz and Halutz to withdraw. Every day, some other suicide
bomber is apprehended. You don't hear about it, because we
don't die, but that doesn't mean our enemies have stopped
trying to kill us.
Some people - the reserve officers whose lives were risked
in the last debacle in Lebanon- have had the gumption to
rally to bring down the corrupt government, but most of us
are mired in confusion and simple fatigue. We get
sidetracked by foolishness, like the decision to turn
Jerusalem into a world-wide venue for gay rights activism,
an idea that backfired, exposing fanaticism and hatred on
all sides. No, I didn't think the parade was a good idea,
but I was equally appalled by the violence and destruction
wreaked on Jerusalem by the parade's opponents. I also
found the activism against gay rights by the Chief Rabbinate
to be the height of hypocrisy. So concerned are they with
Jewish law and the holiness of the Jewish people that Chief
Rabbi Amar (whose own family was arrested not long ago for
assault and battery on his daughter's suitor) cancelled the
much anticipated Agunah Conference. The Conference would
have brought together Orthodox rabbis from all over the
world in a historic effort to come up with halachic
solutions to Jewish laws that encourage the blackmail and
extortion of Jewish women seeking a divorce, laws which
have turned the Jewish marriage ceremony into a life
sentence with no possibility of parole.
And while we focus all our time and energy on these
ridiculous little tempests in teapots, Iran goes on building
her atom bomb unimpeded, a bomb with our name on it. Olmert
smiles at us from the front page of newspapers as he shakes
the hand of a smiling lame duck president, confident that
the U.S. is going to stop Iran and save us. His own sons
already live in America, so I guess he isn't very worried.
But mine live here in Israel, and I am. The world seems
mired in the same kind of lethargy and Jew-hatred which
preceded the Holocaust. Open any news channel, read any
newspaper, and the story line continues to be the poor
Palestinians, even though they continue to support the most
corrupt, violent and dysfunctional regime on earth. The
lies covering up Islamic extremism and its agenda worldwide
continue to be flaunted by trendy films, TV shows, Hollywood
"stars", once-respectable newspapers, public-funded radio
shows. The victory of the Democrats over the Republicans
while certainly in response to the Bush administration's
many failures, also no doubt shows a weakening of the
resolve to face the terrorist threat head-on, and a desire
to believe that there is another, easier way to secure our
freedoms, the way of negotiation, of easing the "grievances"
that the Muslims have against the West. As Brigitte
Gabriel writes in her amazing book,Because They Hate: "Their
grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our
democratic process.''
The Jews of America, who could do so much to strengthen
their sisters and brothers in Israel, continue to be
influenced by the anti-Israel propaganda. That a large
portion of funds raised for the Israeli victims of the war
in Lebanon by the UJC were earmarked for Israeli Arabs, who
openly sided with Nasrallah, is one symptom
The complete abandonment of the Jews of Gush Katif by
American Jewry, so eager to help Arabs, is another. The
government is supposedly helping them, you'll hear these
people say. It's their own fault for not signing on the
dotted line in time, for resisting government policy. The
fact that everyone, even those who did sign, remain
jobless, homeless and poverty-stricken because of their
crime of living in an area that defended Israel's south from
terrorist bombardment for many years, is unforgivable. It's
as if we Jews have adopted the "hate the settler" philosophy
of our enemies, and wish to join the forces that want them
punished for their crime of being Zionists, and patriots,
and self-sacrificing, and loyal.
Jonathan Pollard, the spy who did not harm anyone, or any
American interest, remains behind bars because he is a Jew
who helped Israel, having long ago paid for any wrong doing,
serving more time than spies who gave information to
America's worst enemies and caused irreparable damage to her
security. And Jews are afraid to stand up for him. That is
another sign.
The rockets continue to fall on Sderot and the Negev from
Gaza. Each time we try to stop it, the world press gathers
like jackals to condemn us.
Misinformation, outright propaganda abounds. I'm sick of it.
It's like emptying a flooded cruise liner with a teaspoon.

Will God Curse our Countries for Christmas?
"You don't celebrate Christmas?" Well, not any more.
1 Peter 4:3-5
For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
I realize that those who are still drunk on the wine of the Babylonian Mystery religion (incorporated into the Roman Catholic Cult as brought out in The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop) don't appreciate or comprehend those who are now SOBER and happy to be free from idolatrous traditions for the plain truth of the Bible and history.
The Sabbath-keeping Church of God rejoices in the knowledge and glorious plan of salvation for all mankind that the biblical festivals, the holy days that our Great Creator God has ordained portray - no longer falling for the hollow days of pagan Rome, pimped by Roman wolves in sheep's clothing, false father figures.
The Sabbath-keeping Church of God celebrate that soon everybody will join us in celebrating God's holy days, the "Jewish holidays" in spirit and in truth, and will trash their former tinsel traditions. We are pioneers of the Wonderful World Tomorrow!
Jeremiah 16:19
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things."
It is sad when folks continue to fall for all the RELIGIOUS BULL Rome has dumped on the world and pretend they're worshipping Christ who hates such PAGAN ABOMINATIONS. Why remain in denial?
God is truth and despises such religious lies as Christmas and Easter. They're PAGAN to the core and God's People avoid them like the plague, happy with the biblical festivals God has given us to celebrate.
Yeshua, the King of the Jews, the King of Israel, will return and reign supreme from Jerusalem and teach the Torah, slaughtering the papal bull by the sword of the truth:
Isaiah 2:2-3
2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the [Temple] mountain of the LORD’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say,
“ Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem [not Rome].
Yeshua will establish the law of God as the law of the land, the law of all the Earth! That holy law reveals the seven biblical festivals of the LORD that Yeshua will faithfully teach and command all nations to observe or else - not just the Jewish people and Israelites.
Yes, too many people have inherited religious lies, and have passed down traditional error from generation to generation; worthless celebrations that God hates and rejects as unclean and polluted. It bears repeating, since our proud and stubborn peoples have thick skulls that need the truth knocked into them, driving home this biblical message: Christmas and Easter are PAGAN - those who say otherwise are liars, dishonest with themselves and others, worshipping God in vain (Titus 1:16, 1 John 2:4).
I believe many PROFESSING Christians are actually familiar with the Scriptures that condemn futile attempts to modify pagan holidays and tailor heathen customs to serve the true God (Deut. 12:30-32, Jer. 10:2-3), but they conveniently ignore them or reject them by woeful neglect when such Scriptures step on their traditional toes and make them uncomfortable, demanding change (isn't that what true conversion is all about?), requiring them to learn to love God's truth more than their TRADITIONS (Mark 7:7).
Abominable Christians, those who have the perverted religious preference of tradition over truth, are just like every other sinner unwilling to confess and forsake their sins and seek to whitewash or justify them. The difference is such professing Christians often pretend to be better or more righteous than those physical idolaters and immoral folks (who also refuse to repent) while they engage in spiritual idolatry (putting tradition over truth) and spiritual immorality (whoring around with other gods and foreign ways) bringing divine judgment upon our nations.
May the servants of God, who know and believe the Bible and its principles and prophecies about blessings for national obedience and curses for national disobedience (Dan. 9:11), plea for diehard Catholics and Protestants to REPENT!
May we take the Word of God seriously and turn from the pagan holidays that God hates so much He let ancient Israel and Judah suffer war, defeat and deportation for such "harmless" celebrations and blind observations. Will we insist on losing our national sovereignty too, brought to our knees to learn to see things God's way or will we repent and spare ourselves, our family and friends, from suffering the dreadful Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation?
1 Corinthians 10:19-21
19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. [No mixing and matching of pagan error with biblical truth]
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? [No diluting, adulterating and polluting of God's truth with pagan blends]Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
"I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people."
17 Therefore
"Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord. [Don't stay stuck in the rut of tradition, but let the plain truth set you free!]
Do not touch what is unclean,
And [then] I will receive you.
18 [on these conditions] I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty."

Yes, Christmas is PAGAN - those who say otherwise are liars, dishonest with themselves and others.

Latest News from the Temple Mount Faithful Movement
8 November 2006
Important News from the Work of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
An Exciting and Important Speaking Tour by the Chairman of the Movement, Gershon Salomon to the United States
Recently, before the Rosh Hashana holiday, the chairman of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, Gershon Salomon, returned to Israel after almost six weeks of his speaking tour in many states of the USA. It was an exciting and very important tour. He spoke in many congregations and in every place he and his godly end-time message were accepted with great excitement, appreciation and love.
Gershon shared in every place where he spoke the vision and the activities of the Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the end-time Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem as the focus of all the end-time activities of the G–d and the people of Israel. He spoke about the exciting redemptive and critical situation in Israel today and in the near future that in the focus of them will be the rebuilding of the Third Temple in our lifetime. He spoke about the need and the godly destiny of Israel to be again a biblical nation with a biblical godly mission, to be as G-d dedicated them to be, a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, a treasure and light to the nations. Israel can not run away from her destiny or from the covenant that G–d made with her. Israel was redeemed by G-d in our time to bring to pass and to complete her godly covenant and mission in our lifetime and it is not as just a vision for the far future. He again and again put in the midst of His Word the critical mission and task of Israel at the end-times we are living now to rebuild the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem and to open by this the door for the coming of Mashiach ben David and the establishment of G-d’s kingdom from Jerusalem to all over the world exactly as G-d spoke His end-time Word to us through His prophets Micah, Isaiah and others:
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning far away strong nations; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it” (Micah 4: 1-4 and Isaiah 2: 1-4).
Many important results came from this important speaking tour. Many more friends joined the Faithful Movement and their holy work to have an important part in it and to assist her spiritually and practically. New friends joined to our old friends and members of the Movement and sent their offerings for the holy work of the Movement and for the Third Temple of G-d which we do everything so that it will soon be rebuilt. Women sent their jewelery of gold and silver for the Temple and Gershon had tears in his eyes to see how biblical history repeats in our lifetime in such an exciting way and when he saw, felt and experienced the great love of so many people and leaders to the Faithful Movement and to Israel. These people and leaders represent millions of people who’s eyes are lifted today with love and blessings to the godly work of the Faithful Movement and Israel. The Faithful Movement, thanks to G-d, is today G-d’s important end-time vessel for His end-time plans and purposes and a vessel of so many people all over the world to fulfill their end-time hopes and desires that in the midst of them is the rebuilding of the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement wants to thank all of them so much for answering the end-time call of G-d to everyone in the world to stand with and to help the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement in her major godly work and to stand with Israel that is today rebuilding the kingdom of G-d in Jerusalem and the land of Israel that G-d gave her in an eternal covenant.
Preparations for the next speaking tour of Gershon Salomon to the United States and other countries for next summer has already begun. He has many invitations but his schedule is open to other invitations. Those who would like to invite him to speak in their congregations or other groups and communities should contact the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement center in Jerusalem so that we may schedule them on his next speaking tour at the addresses/telephone number below.
A Critical Godly End-Time Situation in Israel and All Over the World
Israel is facing today in the midst of her holy godly work so many enemies that are trying to stop and destroy what G-d is doing in Israel together with His chosen people. This is a critical time not only in the history of Israel but in the history of all the world. Many godly end-time events are going to be a part of the near future. The focus of all of them will be in Israel. Everyone in the world is now experiencing a time of a godly test: Do you stand with Israel? The meaning is that you stand with G-d at a time when it is critically expected from you by G-d. Will you stand against Israel? The meaning is that you stand against G-d. As the prophetic Word of G-d shares with us, this is a critical test, as it was in the past, but now even much more. This is the test that comes before the day of judgement as the prophets of Israel prophesied about it, especially Ezekiel 38-39, Zachariah 12&14 and as the prophet Joel shared with us the Word of G-d about the end-time judgement:
“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided my land. Proclaim this among the nations; Prepare war, stir up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up; Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong. Hasten and come, all you nations, and gather yourselves together around; cause your mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the nations be stirred up, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations around. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, tread down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. And the Lord roars out of Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a fortress for the people of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; then shall Jerusalem be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streams of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall issue from the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done against the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall remain for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For though I have acquitted them, I have not acquitted those who shed their blood. And the Lord dwells in Zion” (Joel 4: 1-2, 9-21).
Everyone in the world is invited by the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement to join to her and to assist her holy work that will open a new godly era in the life of all mankind. Send to us your assistance and encouragement at:

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement Marched to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem During the Festival of Succoth as an Important Part of Their Historical Campaign for the Rebuilding of the Temple
The Pilgrims Marched Later to the Siloam Pool in the City of David to a New and Exciting Tradition from the Biblical Times
As our forefathers in the biblical times did when they made the pilgrimage on the Feast of Succoth (the Feast of Tabernacles), the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement made an exiting pilgrimage to the Temple Mount, the location of the First and the Second Temples and the location of the Third Temple which is soon to be rebuilt on the 17th of Tishrei 5767 (October 9, 2006).
This major event was an important part of the historical campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and her mission to build the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in our lifetime. It was another important step in the intensive activities of the Movement. The Faithful Movement marched to the Temple Mount with a large model of the Temple and other vessels reconstructed to be used in the Third Temple which attracted a lot of attention from thousands of Israelis who came to be blessed by the Priestly Blessing as the priest did in the biblical times inside the Temple. The model is carried again and again by the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount to bring to the attention of Israel and all the world that the Faithful Movement is determined to rebuild the Temple as a practical event in our lifetime and not as it was in the past, a vision for the distant future when the Messiah comes. According to the prophetic Word of G–d, the Temple should be built before the coming of the Messiah in the prophetic time that we are now living in that He called the end-times. This model during the march of the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount touched the hearts of so many Israelis and guests from outside of Israel who participated in this pilgrimage and awoke in them a deep excitement and desire to see the rebuilding of the Temple in their lifetime.
The Faithful members who went up onto the Temple Mount found the most holy place of Israel and all the world in a sad condition, still desecrated by the presence of the Islamic mosques the Muslims who have continued to desecrate the holy hill of the G–d of Israel for such a long time. The feeling was like the Shekinah of G-d is weeping with tears calling the children of Israel to purify the Temple Mount from the presence of the pagan foreigners and their pagan houses and to rebuild the Temple of G–d so that He can again dwell among His people Israel and all His creation. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement pilgrims swore at this sad moment not to rest day and night until the Temple is rebuilt and the hundred thousand Israelis who pilgrimaged on this day to the Western Wall (not the right place) to be blessed by hundreds of priests will go up to the Temple Mount (the right place) to be blessed by the priests exactly as G–d commanded them.
There is a great progress in the work and the campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement in Israel and all over the world. More and more people are demonstrating their desire to immediately see the purification of the Temple Mount and the rebuilding of the Temple. They demonstrate before the government and the Israeli authorities the ideas of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement not to fear the Arab and Islamic enemies of Israel but to trust only the G–d of Israel and to immediately build the Temple as He expects them to do. When we pilgrimaged on this day at the Temple Mount we felt the presence of G–d so strongly all over the mountain like He was saying to us: “Time is short and soon the Temple will be again My house where I will dwell among my people Israel and all the world as I have desired so many years since the Second Temple was destroyed.
It was an exciting moment when the prayers of the Faithful pilgrims to the Temple Mount prayed the holy prayer of our forefathers to the G–d of Israel: “Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord; This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. I will give you thanks; for you have answered me, and you have become my salvation.” (Psalm 118: 19-21).
Gershon Salomon called on the Israeli Government in his word to immediately remove the Arab Islamic presence on the Temple Mount, to immediately stop the desecration of the holy hill of G-d, to purify the place which is the heart and the soul of Israel from their presence and to rebuild immediately the Temple. He stated that the fulfillment of this expectation from the G–d of Israel will also remove the Islamic Arab enemies from all over the land of Israel, will stop the terror and wars against Israel and bring peace to Israel and all the world. He reminded them of the promise of G–d to Israel that He will not allow any of her enemies to touch her if Israel will fulfill His request to build the Temple and open a new time in the life of Israel and all the world. He reminded them that if they will do so no one will even have a desire to the land that He gave them in an eternal covenant: “ For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders; nor shall any man." Gershon called on the people of Israel to finish their worship near the Western Wall, which represents destruction and exile, and to go up to the Mountain of G–d to build the Temple and to worship there at the right place where G–d dedicated it to worship Him.
The Biblical Ceremony of the Blessing and Prayers for Water Near the Ancient Siloam Pool that was Recently Discovered in the Archeological Diggings in the City of David
This was also the Pool where the Pilgrims used to Baptise Themselves Before their Pilgrimage to the Temple
After the pilgrimage of the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount the pilgrims marched to the City of David on their way to the Siloam Pool, that was dug by King Hezekiah in the First Temple age, to make the biblical ceremony of the blessings of the water exactly as our forefathers did when the Temple existed. On their way to the Siloam Pool they passed the Palace of King David that was just recently discovered and other exciting archeological discoveries from the First Temple age.
The Siloam Pool that was also discovered in the last year was an important project of King Hezekiah, one of the most righteous kings of Israel. His goal was to bring the water of the Gihon and the Siloah Springs inside the City of David so that the Israelis would have water at times when the enemy would surround the city. This project survived until today and we can see the water running from outside the City of David to this exciting pool.
In the biblical times when the Temple existed the pilgrims together with the priests, the King of Israel and all the residents of Jerusalem would march from the Temple in a great and exciting celebration all the way to the City of David to the Siloam Pool to pray to the G–d of Israel, for a blessed year with rain and a lot of water. The high priests used to draw water from the pool and march to the Temple Mount and to pour it on the alter. Tradition says that anyone who had never seen this celebration and joy in his life never saw a real celebration and joy.
The Temple Mount Faithful pilgrims did the same ceremony on this day. It was an exciting event. An historical circle was closed at these moments between our forefathers and our generation that has returned to Jerusalem and is working towards the rebuilding of the Temple and renewing all the biblical traditions and ceremonies. When we stood in the pool we felt like we were standing in the footsteps of our forefathers and the Priests, the Kings and the Prophets of Israel.
This exciting day will never be forgotten. It brought the Faithful Movement and all the people of Israel and their many friends from all over the world much closer to the godly desired moment of the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David. All of this is soon to happen, G–d willing, soon and in our lifetime.
Everyone in Israel and the world is called on to stand with, to encourage and to help the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, spiritually and practically to fulfill her godly cause in our lifetime. Let us together open a great godly moral time in the life of Israel and all the world. This cause is no longer a dream but it will soon be a practical reality in the life of all of us.
The Temple Mount Faithful Movement has started to prepare her Hanukkah march to the Temple Mount, the tombs of the Maccabees and Jerusalem together with the cornerstones for the Third Temple. This event will take place on the 20th of December, 2006. Everyone in Israel and all over the world is invited and called to participate in this exciting event and to be a part of it. Everyone who wants to participate should contact the Movement for details and to confirm their coming to the event. A group of friends from the US are arranging a trip to Israel at this time and will participate in this event and will tour throughout Israel another nine days. For more details about this tour to Israel please contact Jon Klein at: jonklein01@earthlink.net.

Important News from the Work of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
An Exciting and Important Speaking Tour by the Chairman of the Movement, Gershon Salomon to the United States
Recently, before the Rosh Hashana holiday, the chairman of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, Gershon Salomon, returned to Israel after almost six weeks of his speaking tour in many states of the USA. It was an exciting and very important tour. He spoke in many congregations and in every place he and his godly end-time message were accepted with great excitement, appreciation and love.
Gershon shared in every place where he spoke the vision and the activities of the Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the end-time Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem as the focus of all the end-time activities of the G–d and the people of Israel. He spoke about the exciting redemptive and critical situation in Israel today and in the near future that in the focus of them will be the rebuilding of the Third Temple in our lifetime. He spoke about the need and the godly destiny of Israel to be again a biblical nation with a biblical godly mission, to be as G-d dedicated them to be, a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, a treasure and light to the nations. Israel can not run away from her destiny or from the covenant that G–d made with her. Israel was redeemed by G-d in our time to bring to pass and to complete her godly covenant and mission in our lifetime and it is not as just a vision for the far future. He again and again put in the midst of His Word the critical mission and task of Israel at the end-times we are living now to rebuild the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem and to open by this the door for the coming of Mashiach ben David and the establishment of G-d’s kingdom from Jerusalem to all over the world exactly as G-d spoke His end-time Word to us through His prophets Micah, Isaiah and others:
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning far away strong nations; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it” (Micah 4: 1-4 and Isaiah 2: 1-4).

Sheikh Raad Salah - head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, a Hamas supporter, and an outspoken enemy of Israel - warns that Israeli plans to build a synagogue on the Temple Mount could lead to violence and bloodshed. "The day will never come when a Moslem or an Arab will have the right to cede even one foot of the Al-Aqsa Mosque or of Jerusalem," the Sheikh's Al-Aqsa movement announced.
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was the site of the two Jewish Holy Temples, the first of which was built by King Solomon in the year 832 BCE, close to 1,500 years before Islam was founded. For most of the next 1,000 years, Holy Temples stood on the site, until the Romans conquered the entire land and destroyed the Second Temple. Though the area came under the control of the Romans, Byzantines, Moslems, Christians, Turks, British and others over the coming centuries, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were always the focus of Jewish religious and national yearnings and continued to be the Jews' "capital in exile." In the Six Day War of 1967, the modern state of Israel liberated the Temple Mount area, placing all of Jerusalem under Jewish control once again after a hiatus of 1,900 years.
Israel, however, never actualized its sovereignty over the holy Temple Mount site, but rather granted the Moslem Waqf nearly total control. Jews, in fact, have not been allowed to pray there ever since then-Chief IDF Rabbi Shlomo Goren led a prayer service there on the first Tisha B'Av after the liberation.
As Arutz-7 reported nearly two months ago, MK Uri Ariel (National Union) is preparing a plan for the construction of a synagogue on the southeastern corner of the Temple Mount. The plan must be approved by the Jerusalem municipality's planning committee - an unlikely eventuality - and Ariel is set to meet with rabbis and public figures on the issue later this week.
MK Ariel notes that such a building would "rectify a historic injustice," and that every Supreme Court ruling on the issue has recognized the right of every Jew to pray on the Temple Mount.
"The synagogue will not interfere with believing Moslems who wish to pray at the Al-Aksa Mosque," Ariel said. "On the contrary, this is an opportunity for the Moslem world to demonstrate and prove that it is tolerant enough."
The "Moslem world" is not jumping at said opportunity. The announcement by Sheikh Salah's organization states, "We hereby warn aloud about the existence of a Jewish national consensus that is trying to build the Holy Temple at the expense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. We warn that similar plans were submitted to Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak and their publication led to violence, the ramifications of which have not ended to this day."
"The timing of the publication [of this plan] is not coincidental," the Islamic Movement states, "and it jibes with the increased calls for expulsion [of Arabs], the implementation of the policy of religious persecution and national discrimination, and the giving of a green light to the construction of the Third Temple."
"We remind, for the 1,000th time, that the entire Al-Aqsa mosque, including all of its area and alleys above the ground and under it, is exclusive and absolute Moslem property, and no one else has any rights to even one grain of earth in it."
"We remind the Israeli establishment, which stands behind these plans, that the problem of Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem is not just a Palestinian problem, but a Palestinian, Arab and Islamic problem. The day the Al-Aqsa Mosque is harmed, Heaven forbid, all the Arab and Islamic nations will call to prevent this damage. Watch out! Beware of merely the thought of hurting or desecrating the mosque."
***************************************************
The Israeli police ought to immediately arrest Sheik Raad Salah for his terrorist threats against proposals to build a synagogue upon Jerusalem's Temple Mount - Judaism's holiest site.
The Israelis must also scrap such synagogue plans and go for the real thing, the third Temple God has commanded them to build.
Since the miraculous Six Day War of 1967 and the liberation of the Temple Mount, Jews and Israelis have woefully neglected the Temple Mount and left it under Nazi-Muslim occupation, despising their most holy inheritance.
Jews are still DENIED ACCESS to Judaism's holiest site today since they are FORBIDDEN to pray or read the Bible - by Jews! This is inexcusable. It would be sickening, and shocking, definitely unexpected, for those Jews who prayed for 2,000 years to return to Zion to witness Jerusalem's abomination of desolation today - the Temple Mount without a temple - and Muslims in control of Judaism's holiest site, aided and abetted by Israeli officials daily as they practice their illegal religious discrimination.
Israel must end the Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount and enforce Jerusalem's 1967 Law for the Preservation of the Holy Places.

Where's the Temple on the Temple Mount?
Third Temple Coming Soon to Jerusalem!
A House of Prayer for All Peoples?
Third Temple to grace Temple Mount soon!
Question:
On your website, you make the following statement:
"We're happy to announce that the Third Temple will soon grace the
Temple Mount and serve as a royal House of Prayer for ALL Peoples who
yearn to love and obey and learn more about the God of Jacob."
http://templemountjerusalem.blogspot.com
Would you please tell me exactly why you believe that the Third Temple
will soon grace the Temple Mount? Thank you.
Answer:
"Soon" is relative, as God alone knows exactly when His Third Temple will grace the Temple Mount. However, we are given various signs of the times to indicate where we are now in biblical prophecy. The nation of Israel is again, as prophesied, the nations are opposing Jerusalem as prophesied, and the Temple is prophesied to be functioning when the international forces occupy Jerusalem and then pollute the Temple before Yeshua returns and reigns as King.

"GET" THE JEWS
"GET" THE JEWS

The Bible Says:
"Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Neither be you envious against them who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon wither like the grass. And fade as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the Land (of Israel), and cherish faithfulness. So shall you delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass. And He will make your righteousness to go forth as the light, and your right as the noonday".
[Tehillim/Psalm 27:1-6]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Day 14, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Rishon (First Day of Week/"Sun"-day, November 5, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services:
The August, 2005 Gush Katif Expulsion of 10,000 Jewish Pioneering Jewish men, women and children -- together with the destruction of their homes, farms and businesses, followed by the Philistine burning and bulldozing of their synagogues (while the "international community" was either silent or privately laughing with glee) -- was conducted by Ariel Sharon to keep himself out of jail. That is why Sharon did it. Let no one think, however, that the Israeli Left cared whether Sharon went to jail or not.
The real reason why the Israeli Left supported Sharon's Gush Katif Expulsion was recently given by Yair Lapid (son of Tommy Lapid of now defunct Shinui/"Change" Party "fame"). The Israeli Left supported the Gush Katif Expulsion, according to Tommy Lapid son Yair, to 'get the Jews', i.e. the national-religious and Jewish Pioneering ("settler") community in the Land of Israel.
This was a classic internal Jewish version of an anti-Semitic pogrom (first conducted by Pharaoh in Egypt) intended to reduce Jews to their "natural size". It never works. Next the pogromniks escalate to real genocide. That too seems to work for a while.
However, as Hans Frank of accursed memory, lawyer by profession and military governor of Nazi-occupied Poland, wrote, if even a few rabbis and teachers of Talmud escape, they will start the whole "thing" over again. To give the Devil his due, Frank was right.
The Gush Katif Expulsion DID succeed in repressing the faithful Jewish community -- partially and temporarily -- except that Elazar Stern now wonders where he will get cannon fodder ("soldiers") for his next war. Stern need not worry. N.A.T.O. troops will soon be "protecting" Israel.
Stern, Lapid and many Israeli politicians will most likely work for the Judenrat/Vichy Israel "government" in N.A.T.O.-occupied Israel. Yet that, too, will end.
Read Psalm 37 intensively to find out why. The wicked DO prosper in the short run, but the righteous are eventually victorious. Unlike the wicked, the righteous engage in acts of hesed (acts of kindness). The wicked, who step on too many people on the way up, should not expect to receive much kindness on their way down.
The Israeli Left desperately needs the religious and Jewish Pioneering ("settler") communities because we represent the remaining connection to their shrunken Jewish roots. On the other hand, the religious and Jewish Pioneering communities do NOT need the Israeli Left. The Israeli Left does NOT represent the People of Israel, they merely manipulate the People.
Demographics show that "secular" (not-yet-religiously observant) Israel is not reproducing itself any more than are "secular" Europe and America. The future will be a face-off between different groups of "believers" (Jews/Christians/Muslims/Hindus/Buddhists/etc.). We will either have to fight to an ultimate victory by one side or another or else learn to live together (traditional Judaism provides a way to do this, through common human faith in G-d and observance of His Noahide Covenant and Laws, together with honoring His Land, Torah and People Covenants with Israel, as does the Muslim Qur'an).
The ultra-"secular" Israeli (current) opinion molders will cease to exist once we stop buying their newspapers and turn off their television programming. Forever. We will also stop buying their commercial junk food which is imported or produced by local affiliates of multinational corporations.
We will live healthier lives for much less money. We will stop taking aid (Economic A.I.D.s) money from the United States to buy American weapons and will take full responsibility for our own defense.
The Warren Buffets of this world buy into commercial Israel because it is a good deal. In the future they also will buy into spiritual Israel because it is an infinitely better deal.
"From out of Zion will come forth Torah, and the Word of the L-rd from Jerusalem".

EU Beast to devour Jerusalem
So much for any "war on terrorism." Both the sacriligeous United States and Hellenist Israeli authorities have been insanely arming the Nazi-Muslim "peace partners." The Israel that we know today, the corrupt, humanist, godless state, should come to its end and be brought to its knees in REPENTANCE and become the truly Jewish Homeland it's intended to be.
The covetous Ishmaelites and murderous Amalekites can definitely inflict some severe damage [enough to demand international intervention] upon the cities of Judah, but it is fascist Europe that will brutally betray both Arabs and Jews and seize Jerusalem for themselves, with the "blessings" of the pagan pope. Watch for the accursed UN Resolution 181 to be invoked soon as the final solution to the Arab-Israeli problem.
