HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)

LUKE 17:34-37 (8 TOTAL BILLION - 4 BILLION DEAD IN TRIB = 4 BILLION TO JESUS KINGDOM) (HALF DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS)(GOD DOES NOT LIE)(AND NOTICE MOST DIE IN WAR AND DISEASES-NOT COMETS-ASTEROIDS-QUAKES OR TSUNAMIS)

Maryland: Obama expected to open largest mega-mosque complex in U.S.Posted on March 27, 2016 by creeping

As Creeping Sharia noted a year ago, Obama accepts offer to open Turkish mega-mosque in Maryland. According to a Turkish newspaper that time is here: h/t Shoebat- America’s largest mosque complex, officially known as Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, was built with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet). The $100 million mega mosque in Lanham, Maryland, will soon be open for Muslim worshipers in the Washington, DC area, as Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan and US President Barack Obama are expected to open the mosque.The same Turkish rag words it slightly differently here: Erdoğan to open first US double-minaret mosque-The $100 million mega-mosque in Maryland, US will soon be open in the Washington, DC area, as Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to open the mosque during his official visit to the US between March 29 and April 2.America’s largest mosque complex, officially known as the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, was built with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet). Almost all $100 million for the mosque was funded by the Religious Affairs and the Religious Foundation of Turkey.The mosque is part of the Turkish-Islamic Center also known as the “American Religious Center,” built on a large area in Lanham, Maryland that will have the capacity to host 3,000 Muslim worshippers indoors and outdoors.In addition to the mosque, the complex will also include a community building, a guest house, traditional Turkish houses, library, conference and exhibition halls, meeting rooms and reception area.The complex, which also includes a museum of Islamic art, was built according to 16th century architecture.The ISIS-supporting Erdogan was jailed for inciting Muslims when he stated:“The minarets are our bayonets; the domes are our helmets. Mosques are our barracks, the believers are soldiers. This holy army guards my religion. Almighty, Our journey is our destiny, the end is martyrdom.”It appears to sit in the middle of a residential neighborhood.Meanwhile, in Turkey, where ISIS and other Muslim terror groups train and shelter:The Obama administration ordered the families of U.S. military and diplomatic personnel to leave parts of southern Turkey on Tuesday and warned U.S. citizens against travel to the region amid mounting security concerns.

Obama & Turkish President to Attend Opening of Largest Mosque in America Next Week-26 Mar, 2016 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Still think Obama is not a Muslim? He will be opening America’s largest mosque complex in Maryland next week. It will sport not one, but two minarets. With him will be Erdogan of Turkey, who is proclaiming that the Ottoman Empire is rising again along with the Caliphate. Erdogan is Obama’s best bud. The mosque cost a cool $100 million. America’s largest mosque complex, officially known as the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, was built with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet). Almost all $100 million for the mosque was funded by the Religious Affairs and the Religious Foundation of Turkey. The mosque is part of the Turkish-Islamic Center also known as the “American Religious Center,” built on a large area in Lanham, Maryland that will have the capacity to host 3,000 Muslim worshippers indoors and outdoors. How’s that for changing the demographics of our nation? ISIS anyone? Obama is keeping his promise and turning us into a Muslim nation. I wonder if the feds will conduct surveillance on the mosque. Probably not.Turkey-From Freedom Outpost: America’s largest mosque complex, officially known as Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, wasbuilt with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet). The $100 million mega mosque in Lanham, Maryland, will soon be open for Muslim worshipers in the Washington, DC area, as their link shows: “Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan and US President Barack Obama are expected to open the mosque.” I guess you can learn about your president’s next step towards building Islam in the U.S., not from your media, but from Erdogan’s official media Yeni Safak instead:Turkey8-Do you see “US Double Minaret Mosque” above in the article Erdogan published? Why “Two Minarets”? An Ottoman sultan is addressed as such in prayer: “O God, assist the Sultan, son of the Sultan, Sovereign of the Two Continents, of the Two Seas, Destroyer of Two Armies, Sultan of the Two Iraqs, Servant of the Two Sanctuaries [Mecca and Medina]” (Ibn Iyas, 195-1960). Muhammad II was “Sovereign of the Two Seas, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.”Turkey is an empire that will arise TWICE, once after it is wounded and another for its glory. Even Daniel the prophet recognizes this feature, Antichrist loves to have his established castles between the “two seas”: “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the [two] seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” (Daniel 11:45)-Will the West ever awake its slumber and learn just how packed each verse is in the scriptures? Turkey’s mega mosque in Maryland will include a community building, a guest house, traditional Turkish houses, library, conference and exhibition halls, meeting rooms, reception, museum of Islamic art, coffee house, gift shops, cultural center, amphitheater, computer lab, library and even Turkish baths in the old Ottoman style … the works. It “aims at bringing all Muslims together, to enlighten people about the facts of Islam and guide believers to a correct way.” This is part of an effort by Erdogan to revive and grow Islam across the planet. Obama is intent on helping him do so and to redistribute American wealth to Muslim nations. Terror be damned. Just look at Iran. A state-sponsored program to build mosques in countries from Kazakhstan to Cuba has emerged as a foreign policy instrument for Turkey, boosting the country’s claim to a place on the international stage as a leader of the Islamic world that looks after Muslims everywhere. There are rumors out there that Erdogan is about to be ousted in Turkey. I highly doubt that, but we’ll see. He’s on a global conquest for Islam and the Caliphate and he intends to rule over all.

Wynne makes appeal for acceptance at Ottawa mosque-Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, centre, visits an Ottawa Mosque with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, right, Friday Nov. 20.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne today made a broad appeal for acceptance at a visit to an Ottawa mosque for Friday prayers.Wynne stopped by the Ottawa Muslim Association’s mosque with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, and addressed the violent Paris attacks last week, saying it is “now more important than ever” to show compassion towards others.“It’s our responsibility as Canadians to make sure we guard against the fear and we resist blame that can lead to racism and to hatred. At these moments it’s extremely important we reinforce our Canadian values that are includes and based in compassion.”

As Trudeau fields U.S. queries about economic storm clouds, sunny numbers emerge-[The Canadian Press]-Alexander Panetta, The Canadian Press-March 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON - Justin Trudeau was being peppered with questions about the storm clouds gathering above the Canadian economy — crashing oil prices, a resource slump and federal budget deficits with no end in sight.Not to worry, the prime minister told an American business audience: other Canadian sectors are doing well, the deficits are manageable and now is the time to be investing in the country's infrastructure."I think confident, optimistic countries, like confident, optimistic companies, should always be willing to invest in their future — to bet on their future," Trudeau told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce during Thursday's question-and-answer session."To know that we have brighter days and we should be building for them."It just so happened that a bright spot was opening right at that moment: Canada's new GDP numbers were showing the biggest month-over-month jump in economic growth in three years.It was Trudeau's third trip to the U.S. in a month — this time for a meeting of world leaders on nuclear safety, during which he also spoke to the business group and met with his Japanese and Argentinian counterparts.He was asked whether he hoped a future U.S. administration would approve a new version of the Keystone XL pipeline, which had become such a sore spot in Canada-U.S. relations in recent years."Listen, it's not a government of Canada proposal," he began, before adding: "I've said many times (that) one of the most important jobs of any Canadian prime minister is to make sure we're getting our resources to market."But doing that in the 21st century means doing it responsibly, sustainably, ethically, thinking about the long term. We didn't do a very good job over the past decade of highlighting our understanding of environmental and global responsibilities around that."He was speaking to a group closely aligned with the big-business wing of the Republican party, and which tends to support the party with ads and donations. In the audience were representatives from governments and corporations like Google, Amazon, Ford, Coca-Cola and General Electric.In his speech, Trudeau touted his middle-class tax cuts and plans to boost infrastructure spending. He did not mention the deficits — nor the absence of a time frame to erase them — until prompted later by the moderator.The chamber's vice-president, Myron Brilliant, urged the Liberal government to take up another of the group's priorities — adopting the Trans-Pacific Partnership."You laid out a vision we think we can contribute to and support," Brilliant said."We do believe that TPP is not a perfect agreement. But we should not let a perfect agreement be the enemy of the good agreement that we have before us. It's so important strategically for the United States, Canada and the other countries that we move forward... We would like to see it go forward."Trudeau extolled the merits of trade deals generally, but did not commit to passing TPP which he said is undergoing a review in Canada.He was also asked whether he'd renegotiate NAFTA, a proposal of some presidential candidates including Donald Trump. Once a trade deal is opened up for one thing, other irritants pop up immediately, he replied.And, of course, he was asked about the Republican front-runner, although not by name. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has urged Trudeau to denounce Trump, which the prime minister has by and large refused to do.Trudeau responded the way he always has during his U.S. visits: with a two-step dance.On the one hand, he made his personal preference clear — for a positive politics that sees globalization and interactions with foreigners as an opportunity, not just a threat.But he also suggested that the current anti-establishment anger could eventually produce positive results. He said political elites might draw some lessons from the election, about listening to regular people and spreading economic opportunity.The audience laughed and clapped when Trudeau repeated his stock phrase: "I have great faith in the American people and look forward to working with whoever gets elected in November."

Leaders of U.S, Japan, South Korea issue new warning to North Korea-[Reuters]-By Jeff Mason-Reuters-March 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama joined with South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday to present a united front over what he called "provocations" committed by North Korea in its recent nuclear and missile tests.Meeting on the sidelines of a global nuclear security summit in Washington, the three leaders recommitted their countries to each other’s defense and warned they could take further steps to counter threats from Pyongyang.Obama held separate talks with President Xi Jinping of China, the closest North Korea has to an ally, and said they both wanted to see "full implementation" of the latest United Nations sanctions against Pyongyang. But Xi offered no sign that Beijing was prepared to go beyond its consent to the Security Council measures imposed in early March.“We are united in our efforts to deter and defend against North Korean provocations,” Obama told reporters after the U.S.-Japan-South Korea meeting. "We have to work together to meet this challenge."Relations between Park and Abe have been frosty in the past, but the two have been brought together in recent months by shared concerns about North Korea, which conducted a fourth nuclear bomb test on Jan. 6 and launched a long-range rocket into space last month.The United States has sought to encourage improved ties between Seoul and Japan, its two biggest allies in Asia, given worries not only about North Korea but also an increasingly assertive China.The expanded U.N. sanctions aimed at starving North Korea of funds for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs were approved in a unanimous Security Council vote on a resolution drafted by the United States and China.But even though Beijing has signed on, doubts persist in the West on how far it will go in tightening the screws on impoverished North Korea, given Chinese concerns about fueling instability on its borders.Appearing later with Obama, Xi said that while Washington and Beijing have disagreements in some areas, they have effective coordination on the North Korean issue.However, China, considered the most capable of influencing North Korea’s reclusive leadership, has said repeatedly that sanctions are not the solution and only a resumption of international talks can resolve the dispute with Pyongyang. Six-party talks between the two Koreas, China, the United States, Japan and Russia aimed at curbing the North's nuclear ambitions collapsed after the last round in 2008.Thursday's meetings took place as leaders from more than 50 countries gathered in Washington for a two-day summit hosted by Obama and focused on securing vulnerable atomic materials to prevent nuclear terrorism. North Korea’s nuclear defiance was also high on the agenda.-'MISGUIDED CALCULUS'-Obama said he, Park and Abe had directed their teams to come up with additional steps they can take collectively against North Korea.Park said the leaders had discussed ways to force North Korea to "alter its misguided calculus" on its weapons programs, and Abe expressed a commitment to strengthening trilateral security cooperation.Obama has less than 10 months left in office to follow through on one of his signature foreign policy initiatives, and this week's meeting is his fourth and final Nuclear Security Summit.While progress has been made, some arms-control advocates say the diplomatic process seems to have lost momentum and could slow even further once Obama leaves office in January.A boycott by Russian President Vladimir Putin, apparently unwilling to join in a U.S.-dominated gathering at a time of increased tensions between Washington and Moscow, adds to doubts that the latest meeting will yield major results.The deadly militant bomb attacks in Brussels this month have fueled concern that Islamic State could eventually target nuclear plants, steal material and develop radioactive “dirty bombs,” a topic that may well be uppermost in leaders’ minds as they meet.(Additional reporting by Susan Heavey, Roberta Rampton, David Brunnstrom, Doina Chiacu; Writing by Matt Spetalnick; Editing by James Dalgleish and Frances Kerry)

China still committed to nuclear reprocessing despite Asia stockpile fears-[Reuters]-By David Brunnstrom-Reuters-March 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China remains committed to its plans for nuclear reprocessing, its top nuclear industry official said on Thursday, despite concerns this could lead to a competitive buildup of plutonium stockpiles in Asia."China is dedicated to the establishment of a complete nuclear fuel-cycle system," Xu Daxhe, chairman of the China Atomic Energy Authority, told reporters on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington."When we are constructing a number of nuclear power plants in China we are also taking into consideration the development of a reprocessing capability," he added.Xu noted that China was in discussions with French firm Areva over the construction of a commercial reprocessing plant, although he added that there was still "a long way to go to complete the negotiation, both technically and commercially."Industry watchers say the two sides are still far apart in terms of a price for the multibillion-dollar project. Asked about this, Xu said, "yes, so the negotiations still have a long way to go.”Speaking at a news conference earlier, Xu reiterated concerns about the size of the plutonium stockpile possessed by Japan, which plans to open its own reprocessing plant in 2018."There is a mismatch between the current stockpile of the plutonium in Japan and its real need for development," Xu said.Japan has an estimated 50 tonnes of plutonium, enough to produce 2,000 nuclear weapons, and is building a large plant at Rokkasho in northern Japan to reprocess spent fuel from power plants, although its start has been repeatedly delayed.It has until now relied on the British and French to extract plutonium from spent uranium fuel rods, but with nearly all of its reactors shut down after the Fukushima nuclear disaster five years ago and no schedule for further restarts there is little use for the material.Japan remains an avowedly anti-nuclear-weapons state as the only country ever to have suffered a nuclear attack. However, anti-proliferation advocates worry that if it goes ahead with plans to open Rokkasho, this will raise fears about its future intentions, spurring China's plans and also encouraging South Korea to pursue reprocessing capability.U.S. concerns had been rising about the prospect of growing stockpiles of nuclear raw materials in East Asia and in mid-March, Thomas Countryman, an assistant U.S. secretary of state in charge of non-proliferation, called into question the renewal of an agreement between Washington and Tokyo that allows Japan to reprocess and produce weapons-grade plutonium.The agreement is due to be extended in 2018, but with a new U.S. administration starting in January its status is unclear.(Reporting by David Brunnstrom; Editing by James Dalgleish)

China to US: 'Be careful' in South China Sea-AFP-MAR 31,16-YAHOONEWS

Beijing (AFP) - Beijing's defence ministry on Thursday warned the US navy to "be careful" in the South China Sea and slammed a newly signed agreement between Washington and the Philippines.Earlier this month, Manila agreed to give US forces access to five military bases, including some close to the disputed South China Sea, where tensions have risen over Beijing's assertion of its territorial claims.China claims virtually all the South China Sea despite conflicting claims by Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines, and has built up artificial islands in the area in recent months, including some with airstrips.Washington has since October carried out two high-profile "freedom of navigation" operations in which it sailed warships within 12 nautical miles of islets claimed by China.Asked about a recent report on US patrols in the sea, defence ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told a briefing on Thursday: "As for the US ships which came, I can only suggest they be careful".The agreement between Washington and Manila applies to the Antonio Bautista Air Base on the western island of Palawan, directly on the South China Sea.Asked about the deal, Yang said: "To strengthen military alliances is a reflection of a Cold War mentality"."It is in the opposite direction of the trends of the era for peace, development and cooperation," he said, adding bilateral military cooperation "should not "undermine a third party's interests".Washington regularly accuses Beijing -- which says it has built runways on and deployed unspecified weapons to islands in the South China Sea -- of militarising the area.Beijing denies the accusations and says US patrols have ramped up tensions."Now, the United States has come back, and is reinforcing its military presence in this region and promoting militarisation in the South China Sea," Yang said.Beijing acknowledges that the facilities on its new islands will have military as well as civilian purposes.China's comments came as Malaysia accused "a large number" of Chinese fishing trawlers and a coast guard vessel of entering its waters, understood to be last week.Kuala Lumpur said China's envoy to Malaysia was summoned on Thursday "to seek clarification as well as to register Malaysia’s concerns over the matter".

U.S. says it will not recognize South China Sea exclusion zone-Reuters By Andrea Shalal-March 30, 2016 12:30 PM-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has told China it will not recognize an exclusion zone in the South China Sea and would view such a move as "destabilizing," U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work said on Wednesday.U.S. officials have expressed concern that an international court ruling expected in the coming weeks on a case brought by the Philippines against China over its South China Sea claims could prompt Beijing to declare an air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, in the region, as it did in the East China Sea in 2013.Work told an event hosted by the Washington Post that the United States would not recognize such an exclusion zone in the South China Sea, just as it did not recognize the one China established in the East China Sea.China claims most of the South China Sea, through which more than $5 trillion in global trade passes every year."We don't believe they have a basis in international law, and we've said over and over (that) we will fly, sail and go wherever international law allows," Work said."We have spoken quite plainly to our Chinese counterparts and said that we think an ADIZ would be destabilizing. We would prefer that all of the claims in the South China Sea be handled through mediation and not force or coercion," he said.Work spoke as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepared to visit Washington for a nuclear security summit this week.The United States has accused China of raising tensions in the South China Sea by its apparent deployment of surface-to-air missiles on a disputed island, a move China has neither confirmed nor denied.China, for its part, has repeatedly accused the United States of militarizing the South China Sea through its freedom of navigation patrols in the region and the expansion of military alliances with countries such as the Philippines.In February, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said his country's South China Sea military deployments were no different from U.S. deployments on Hawaii.Tensions between China and its neighbors Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan over sovereignty in the South China Sea have risen after Beijing embarked on significant reclamations on disputed islands and reefs in the area.(Reporting by Andrea Shalal; Editing by Alan Crosby)

China sets up unit to coordinate overseas military moves-Reuters-MAR 31,16YAHOONEWS

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday it has set up a dedicated unit to coordinate its "non-war" activities overseas like evacuations from conflict zones, as it seeks to play a greater role in the world.China, the world's second-largest economy, has sent its navy to take part in anti-piracy patrols in the waters off Somalia and helped evacuate its citizens and other foreigners from Yemen.The new Overseas Action Department has been established as part of broader military reforms, ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told a regular monthly news briefing."In recent years, as our national and military strength have increase, the Chinese military has many times participated in overseas military actions, proactively fulfilling our international responsibilities and obligations," Yang said.The department's main mission is to plan, coordinate and enact "non-war" overseas action, such as peacekeeping missions, evacuations and joint drills, he added.But any of these missions will always respect the United Nations charter and international norms, to help preserve peace and stability, Yang said.China last year passed a counter-terrorism law that allows the military to venture overseas on anti-terror missions, though experts have said it would face big practical and diplomatic problems if it ever wanted to do this.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Robert Birsel)

Kremlin denies report of Russia-U.S. deal on Assad's future-Reuters-MAR 31,16-YAHOONEWS

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Thursday that a report by the al-Hayat newspaper on an agreement between Russia and the United States on the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was not true.The newspaper reported that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had told several Arab countries that Russia and the U.S. reached an understanding on the future of Syria's peace process, including Assad's departure to another country at some unspecified stage."Al-Hayat published information which does not correspond to reality," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with journalists."Russia is advantageously different from other nations because it does not discuss the issue of the self-determination of third countries either through diplomatic or other channels."(Reporting by Dmitry Solovyov; Editing by Christian Lowe)
