WARN THE PEOPLE-WW3

EZEKIEL 33:1-6
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

DANIEL 11:40-45 (WW3 BREAKDOWN)
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

ISAIAH 24:1
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,(NUKES USED) and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.(WORLD IMMIGRATION)

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;(ARAB/MUSLIM) because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man;(RIOTS-BURNING-MURDEROUUS RAGE) his hand will be against every man,(ISLAM WANTS WORLD DOMINATION) and every man's hand against him;(DEFENDING THEMSELVES) and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.(ARAB/MUSLIMS LIVE WITH ISRAELIS)

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.(ISLAM MURDERS IN THE NAME OF THEIR MOON GOD ALLAH)

ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! (HEBREW MEANS CRESCENT MOON ANGEL-ISLAM OVIOUSLY)(SATAN IS THE GOD OF ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

EZEKIEL 31:10-17
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 32:17-32
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam (IRAN) and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal,(RUSSIA) (GERMANY, TURKEY) and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
29 There [is] Edom,(JORDAN) her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

EZEKIEL 39:11-22
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

REVELATION 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;(AGAINST ALL NATIONS ARMIES THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL)
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

PROOF HALF ON EARTH DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD (8 BILLION ON EARTH)

REVELATION 6:7-8 (8 BILLION- 2 BILLION = 6 BILLION)
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:(CHLORES GREEN) and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,(2 BILLION) to kill with sword,(WEAPONS) and with hunger,(FAMINE) and with death,(INCURABLE DISEASES) and with the beasts of the earth.(ANIMAL TO HUMAN DISEASE).

REVELATION 9:15,18 (6 BILLION - 2 BILLION = 4 BILLION)
15 And the four(DEMONIC WAR) angels were loosed,
18 By these three was the third part of men killed,(2 BILLION) by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMBS)

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)
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other shall be left.(half earths population 4 billion die in the 7 yr trib)
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES.BECAUSE NOT HALF OF PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE CHRISTIANS.AND THE CONTEXT IN LUKE 17 IS THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YR TREATY PERIOD.WHICH IS JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH.NOT 50% RAPTURED TO HEAVEN.

MATTHEW 24:37-42 (THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-SURE NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)(50% OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE)
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.(ON EARTH)
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.(ON EARTH)
42 Watch therefore:(FOR THE LAST DAYS SIGNS HAPPENING) for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,(DISOLVED FROM ATOMIC BOMB) and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,(DISOLVED FROM ATOMIC BOMB) and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.(DISOLVED FROM ATOMIC BOMB)(BECAUSE NUKES HAVE BEEN USED ON ISRAELS ENEMIES)(GOD PROTECTS ISRAEL AND ALWAYS WILL)
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)(THIS IS AN ATOMIC BOMB EFFECT)

EZEKIEL 32:18-29 (NOTICE ALL THE COUNTRIES LAND PROMISED ISRAEL BY GOD ARE IN THE JORDAN VALLEY BURIED)
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised! (IN HELL FIRES)
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
22 Assyria (SYRIA) is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Elam (IRAN) is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26 Meshech and Tubal (RUSSIA) are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 Edom (JORDAN) is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.THIS IS RIGHT FROM 93:

SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

PSALMS 83:1-8 (GODS LAND PROMISED TO ISRAEL)
1 O God, do not remain silent;do not turn a deaf ear,do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,  how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they (ARAB,MUSLIMS) conspire against your people;they plot against those you cherish.(ISRAELIS)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;(TREATIES) they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom (JORDAN)  and the Ishmaelites, (EGYPTIAN ARABS SO CALLED PALESTIANS) of Moab (JORDAN) and the Hagrites,(EGYPT)
7 Byblos,(HEZBOLLOH) Ammon (JORDAN) and Amalek,(SYRIAN ARABS IN THE SINAI) Philistia,(ARABS) with the people of Tyre (LEBANON).
8 Even Assyria (SYRIA) has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)(HAMAS IN HEBREW IS VIOLENCE)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM)(HAMAS) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

1 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
1-PROMISCUOUS SEX AMOUNG EACH OTHER.
ROMANS 1:24
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (THE 60S FREE SEX)
2 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
2-SODOMITES - MEN LUSTING MEN, AND WOMEN LUSTING AFTER WOMEN.
ROMANS 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
3 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
3-A DEPRAVED MIND-ANY SIN GOES.
ROMANS 1:28-31
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO THESE 3 DEPRAVED ABOMINATION SINS?
OH OH NOAHS DAY. WHAT HAPPENED IN NOAHS DAY. THE WHOLE WORLD WAS JUDGED BY WATER.
GENESIS 6:7,17
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
GENESIS 7:4
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
GENESIS 8:16
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
WELL THE SODOMITES PICKED THE RIGHT SIGN OF A RAINBOW FOR JUDGEMENT. THE SODOMITES TRYED TO STEAL GODS SIGN THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WILL NEVER DIE FROM FLOOD WATERS AGAIN. BUT THE JUDGEMENT THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE BY FIRE.NOT WATER.
2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

EZIKIEL 38:12-13
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDIA ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(ENGLAND) with all the young lions thereof,(USA,CANADA,AUSTRALIA,NEW ZEALAND,EU,ENGLAND,ENGLISH SPEAKING shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (AGAINST ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, (RUSSIA AND HER MUSLIMS HORDES)Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

ISRAEL SATAN COMES AGAINST

1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I (GOD) will shew thee:
2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3  And I will bless them that bless thee,(ISRAELIS) and curse (DESTROY) him that curseth thee:(DESTROY THEM) and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.

Gen 13:14-15, Psm 105:9,11, Gen 15:18, Exe 23:31, Num 34:1-12, Josh 1:4.ALL THIS LAND ISRAEL WILL DEFINATELY OWN IN THE FUTURE, ITS ISRAELS NOT ISHMAELS LAND.12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE.

Report: Israel believes deaths in attacks higher than reported-20 killed, 450 wounded as Lebanon hit by 2nd wave of Hezbollah device explosions-Walkie-talkies blow up around country; one explosion witnessed at funeral for victim of Tuesday’s pager attack; some solar energy systems said to also detonate-By Agencies and Emanuel Fabian-18 September 2024, 8:10 pm

A fresh wave of explosions ripped across Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to mainly target hand-held radios used by Hezbollah members, a day after thousands were wounded when their pagers spontaneously exploded in a coordinated attack widely blamed on Israel after months of cross-border fire.At least 20 people were killed and 450 were wounded in Wednesday’s second wave of blasts, according to Lebanese officials. An Israeli report said Jerusalem believes the death toll to be higher than reported, with Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit hit hard by the two days of attacks.Explosions were reported Wednesday in phones, solar energy systems and fingerprint reading devices used by the group.At least one of the blasts took place at a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for some of the 12 people killed in the pager explosion attack on Tuesday.An AP photographer in the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop that were damaged by devices exploding inside of them.“A number of walkie-talkies exploded in Beirut’s southern suburbs,” a source told Reuters, with Hezbollah-affiliated rescuers confirming devices had exploded inside two cars in the area.Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, and a Hezbollah official told The Associated Press that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded as part of blasts heard in Beirut. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.Images circulating online purported to show the devices, which appeared to be different and larger than the pagers that exploded Tuesday. The hand-held radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago, around the same time that the pagers were bought, said a security source.Images circulating online purport to show communication devices used by Hezbollah that exploded in Lebanon. pic.twitter.com/xV8tIFGDDh— Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) September 18, 2024-A Reuters reporter in the southern suburbs of Beirut said he saw Hezbollah members frantically taking out the batteries of any walkie-talkies on them that had not exploded, tossing the parts in metal barrels around them.Images of the exploded walkie-talkies examined by Reuters showed an inside panel labeled “ICOM” and “Made in Japan.” According to its website, ICOM is a Japan-based radio communications and telephone company.Lebanon’s Red Cross said on X that it was responding with 30 ambulance teams to multiple explosions in different areas.Lebanon’s official news agency reported that solar energy systems exploded in homes in several areas of Beirut and in southern Lebanon, wounding at least one girl. The reports of further electronic devices exploding suggested even greater infiltration into Hezbollah’s supply chain than was previously thought.According to a Ynet report, Israel believes Hezbollah’s toll from the attacks over the last two days is much higher than the official numbers released so far.“The estimation is that there are many dozens of dead, if not more,” veteran investigative reporter and analyst Ronen Bergman wrote, without naming his sources.Bergman added that Israel believes the explosions caused “significant harm” to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit, with much of its leadership taken out of action.The new round of explosions on Wednesday came as Lebanon and Hezbollah were still struggling to come to terms with the shock and scale of Tuesday’s attack. Israel has not commented on the pager explosions, although US officials have indicated to some foreign media outlets that Jerusalem was behind the attack.The death toll from Tuesday’s blasts rose to 12, including two children, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said on Wednesday. Tuesday’s attack wounded nearly 3,000 people, including many of the terror group’s fighters and Iran’s envoy to Beirut.Hezbollah said Israel was “fully responsible for this criminal aggression” and reiterated it would avenge the attack, while vowing to continue its fight against Israel in support of Hamas in the Gaza war.Cross-border exchanges with Israeli forces were “ongoing and separate from the difficult reckoning that the criminal enemy must await for its massacre,” Hezbollah said.Since October 8, Hezbollah and other Lebanon-based terror groups have been firing rockets and missiles at Israel’s north on a near-daily basis, killing at least 26 civilians in Israel and 20 IDF soldiers. Hezbollah has named more than 450 members killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 79 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.On Wednesday evening, Hezbollah fired a barrage of some 20 rockets at northern Israel, setting off sirens in Kiryat Shmona and a number of surrounding areas. The IDF said some of the rockets were intercepted, and there were no reports of injuries.Hezbollah took responsibility for the attack, claiming to have targeted an Israeli military base.Earlier in the day, a barrage of 10 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Western Galilee, with all the missiles striking open areas, causing no injuries, according to the IDF.Meanwhile the IDF on Wednesday announced that it was redeploying its 98th Division to northern Israel after months of operations in the Gaza Strip under the Southern Command, given the backdrop of the heightened tensions with Hezbollah.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Wednesday evening that Israel’s focus has moved to the northern front as a “new phase” of the war was beginning.“The center of gravity is moving north. We are diverting forces, resources, and energy toward the north,” Gallant told Israeli Air Force personnel at the Ramat David Airbase, in remarks published by his office. “I believe that we are at the onset of a new phase in this war, and we need to adapt.”The chief of the IDF’s Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, said Wednesday that the military was determined to change the security situation on the Lebanese border as soon as possible.“The mission is clear: We are determined to change the security reality as soon as possible. The commitment of the commanders and the troops here is complete, with peak readiness for any task that will be required,” Gordin said in remarks provided by the IDF.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

“Like the destruction of Sennacherib’s army”: Massive beeper attack targets Hezbollah-That night an angel of Hashem went out and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp, and the following morning they were all dead corpses.Kings19:35 (the israel bible) September 18, 2024

A wave of exploding beepers held by Hezbollah members in Lebanon killed nine people, wounding another 2,750, including some 200 people in critical condition on Tuesday afternoon. There were also reports of similar beeper explosions wounding people in Syria. Reuters reported that Hezbollah imported about 5,000 beepers several months ago. The Lebanese security source said the pagers were from Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, but the company did not manufacture the devices. It said they were made by BAC, which has a license to use its brand, but it gave no more details.Hezbollah fighters have been using pagers as a low-tech means of communication in an attempt to evade Israeli location-tracking, two sources familiar with the group’s operations told Reuters this year.In a televised speech on Feb. 13, Hezbollah’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah sternly warned supporters that their phones were more dangerous than Israeli spies, saying they should break, bury, or lock them in an iron box.Israel is the undisputed G.O.A.T. when it comes to taking down extremely hostile enemies-In what can be described as the greatest counter terror operations 1000+encrypted pagers belonging to Hezbollah militants began exploding simultaneously in Lebanonhttps://t.co/9ArVrBg64A— Sameer (@BesuraTaansane) September 17, 2024-A “senior Lebanese security source” told Reuters that the devices had been modified by Israel’s spy service “at the production level.”“The Mossad injected a board inside of the device that has explosive material that receives a code,” the source said. “It’s very hard to detect it through any means. Even with any device or scanner.”Another security source told Reuters that up to three grams of explosives were hidden in the new pagers and had gone “undetected” by Hezbollah for months.3,000 pagers exploded when a coded message was sent to them, simultaneously activating the explosives.“This would easily be the biggest counterintelligence failure that Hezbollah has had in decades,” said Jonathan Panikoff, the U.S. government’s former deputy national intelligence officer on the Middle East.The source of the attack is still unknown but Iran-backed Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israel. Israel typically does not comment on military operations outside of its borders. Hezbollah said in a statement on Wednesday that “the resistance will continue today, like any other day, its operations to support Gaza, its people, and its resistance which is a separate path from the harsh punishment that the criminal enemy (Israel) should await in response to Tuesday’s massacre.”The attack came just a few hours after Israel designated the halting of Hezbollah’s attacks as one of its main war goals and announced that it had foiled an assassination attempt by the Iranian proxy group against a former senior official.A video circulating on social media purports to show the moment that a pager used by a Hezbollah operative exploded in Lebanon.

The US was not aware of this incident in advance, and at this point, we’re gathering information,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said during a press briefing.“We’re collecting information in the same way that journalists are across the world to gather the facts about what might have happened,” he added.The UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, responded by calling for calm. “The developments today mark an extremely concerning escalation in what is an already unacceptably volatile context,” Ms. Hennis-Plasschaert said in a statement. In line with international law, she reminded all “concerned actors that civilians are not a target and must be protected at all times,” stressing that “even one civilian casualty is one too many.” The UN representative did not address the more than 19,000 rockets Hezbollah fired into Israel since October 7. The Hezbollah attacks have so far killed more than 40 people in Israel, and have caused widespread damage.The beeper attack is reminiscent of the assassination of Yahya Ayyash in 1996. Ayyash was the chief bombmaker of Hamas and the leader of the West Bank battalion of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

Source: Wikipedia Author unknown Likely Reuters – see http://world.std.com/~jlr/doom/ayyash.htmThe spontaneous elimination of 5,000 enemy soldiers without the use of weapons is reminiscent of the sudden destruction of Sennacherib’s army, as related in II Kings 19 after surrounding Jerusalem and King Hezekiah. The Bible describes Hezekiah paying a heavy tribute, suggesting he was overwhelmed by the Assyrian strength at arms.That night an angel of Hashem went out and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp, and the following morning they were all dead corpses. When Sennacherib rose up early in the morning to storm the city of Jerusalem, he found dead corpses in the place of his mighty army. Crushed with defeat and shame, Sennacherib returned to his capital Nineveh. There he was slain by his own sons while worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch. This story is written in II Kings 19:35-36-Rabbi Yosef Berger emphasized that this victory over Hezbollah was decidedly divine.“We have been sending prayers up to heaven and a message came down, albeit via beepers, and wiped out a large chunk of Hezbollah’s army.“They fire teelim (rockets) that have little effect’” Rabbi Berger said. “We respond with tehillim (Psalms).”Indeed, since the war began, Rabbi Berger has recited the complete book of Psalms every day as part of the war effort. He explained that King David described the attack in Lebanon.The voice of Hashem is power; the voice of Hashem is majesty; the voice of Hashem breaks cedars; Hashem shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion, like a young wild ox. The voice of Hashem kindles flames of fire; Psalms 29:4-7

Taiwan, Hungary deny making Hezbollah pagers, deepening mystery of their origin-Gold Apollo, Taiwanese firm identified as making model, is emphatic it did not make exploding devices; Budapest says company’s local partner has no production site in the country-By Agencies and ToI Staff 18 September 2024, 8:41 pmUpdated at 1:55 am

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Taiwan and Hungary on Wednesday denied making pagers that exploded the previous day while being used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, killing 12 people and injuring thousands.The New York Times, citing American and other anonymous officials, reported that Israel had inserted explosive material into a shipment of pagers from Taiwan’s Gold Apollo, though it was not clear where and when the tampering took place.Taiwanese prosecutors launched an investigation.Gold Apollo denied producing the devices and instead pointed the finger at its Budapest-based partner BAC Consulting KFT.But Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said the company “is a trading intermediary, with no manufacturing or operational site in Hungary.”“The referenced devices have never been in Hungary,” Kovacs said on X, formerly Twitter.He added the case “poses no national security risk” and Hungary was cooperating “with all relevant international partner agencies and organizations” in further investigations.Wednesday saw a new wave of blasts in Hezbollah communications devices beyond pagers that injured and killed more people.Not our products’ Earlier Wednesday, Gold Apollo head Hsu Ching-kuang said the pagers were “100 percent not” made in Taiwan.“They are not our products from beginning to end. How can we produce products that are not ours?” Hsu told reporters in Taipei.The company said in a separate statement that it had established a “long-term partnership” with the Hungarian company to use its trademark and the model mentioned in media reports “is produced and sold by BAC.”Taiwan’s economic affairs ministry said Gold Apollo’s pagers made in Taiwan only have “a receiving function” and the capacity of their built-in battery “is about that of an ordinary AA battery that is not possible to explode to cause death or injury.”Experts have said the batteries in the pagers are unlikely to have exploded. Rather, explosives were probably inserted into the devices before they reached Hezbollah, and then remotely activated on Tuesday.“After reviewing media reports and pictures, we think it’s very questionable that [the model used] is the company’s product,” the ministry said, adding that there is no record of the company directly exporting to Lebanon.At the same time, BAC Consulting CEO Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono told US broadcaster NBC News that her company worked with Gold Apollo, but did not make pagers.“I don’t make the pagers. I am just the intermediate. I think you got it wrong,” NBC cited Barsony-Arcidiacono as saying on the phone.Barsony-Arcidiacono did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.The explosions in Lebanon reportedly killed 12 people, including two children, and wounded up to 2,800 others.Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the attack. Jerusalem has not commented.Sole employee-At BAC Consulting’s registered postal address in a Budapest suburb, a woman told reporters that the two-story semi-detached building belongs to a company providing virtual business addresses.Barsony-Arcidiacono appears to be the only employee of the company founded in 2022, according to legal documents consulted by AFP, which also report an annual revenue of 210 million forints ($590,000) and a profit of around 18 million forints.On an archived version of a currently inaccessible website, the consultancy described itself as “agents of change with a network of consultants,” while Barsony-Arcidiacono touted her experience as a “strategic adviser” for international organizations.The New York Times reported that about 3,000 pagers had been ordered from Gold Apollo, mostly its AR924 model.“Our company only provides the brand trademark authorization and is not involved in the design or manufacturing of this product,” Gold Apollo said.The company declined to comment further, citing ongoing investigations.“We have assigned the case to the chief prosecutor of the national security team to actively investigate. Our office will clarify the facts of the case as soon as possible,” Taipei’s Shilin District Prosecutors Office said in a statement.“If there is any illegality involved, it will be severely punished in accordance with the law,” the office added.A source close to Hezbollah, asking not to be identified, previously told AFP that “the pagers that exploded concern a shipment recently imported by Hezbollah of 1,000 devices,” which appear to have been “sabotaged at source.”Three security sources told Reuters that the pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months.Hezbollah members began using pagers as a low-tech means to try and avoid Israeli tracking of their locations, two sources familiar with the group’s operations told Reuters earlier this year.Hezbollah has been firing at Israel almost daily since October 8, 2023, following its ally Hamas’s cross-border terror onslaught the day before, which started the ongoing war in Gaza.On Tuesday, just hours before the pager explosions, Israel’s security cabinet officially added as a war goal the safe return home of tens of thousands of citizens who were evacuated from their homes in Israel’s north when the war broke out. Also on Tuesday, the Shin Bet security service announced that it had foiled a Hezbollah plot to assassinate a former high-ranking defense official on Israeli soil, later revealed as former IDF chief Moshe Ya’alon.Netanyahu: We will return residents of the north home.

Hungary: Exploding pagers weren’t made here, linked firm acted as trade intermediary-BAC Consulting and its CEO unable to be reached after reportedly supplying the beepers to Hezbollah that detonated across Lebanon on Tuesday, in apparent attack blamed on Israel-By Agencies Today, 3:30 am-SEP 18,24

BUDAPEST, Hungary — In a duplex in a quiet neighborhood of the Hungarian capital is the headquarters of a company that is linked to the manufacture of the pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria as part of an apparent Israeli operation against the Hezbollah terror group.BAC Consulting shares the ground floor of the modest building in Budapest with other enterprises. On Wednesday morning, Associated Press journalists saw the names of multiple companies, including BAC, posted on pieces of printer paper and taped in a window.In a corporate registry, the company listed 118 official functions, including sugar and oil production, retail jewelry sales and natural gas extraction.BAC reportedly supplied the thousands of devices that Lebanese authorities said killed at least 12 people, including two children, and wounded about 2,800 on Tuesday in a coordinated attack that Hezbollah and the Lebanese government blamed on Israel.More attacks were reported Wednesday, when walkie-talkies and solar equipment exploded in multiple parts of Lebanon. The second wave of attacks killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 450, the Lebanese health ministry said.The Taiwanese company whose brand appears on the pagers, Gold Apollo, said Wednesday that it had authorized the use of its name on the devices.BAC was authorized “to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” Gold Apollo said in a statement.A Hungarian government spokesman said the pagers were never in Hungary and that BAC Consultants merely acted as an intermediary.“Authorities have confirmed that the company in question is a trading intermediary, with no manufacturing or operational site in Hungary. It has one manager registered at its declared address, and the referenced devices have never been in Hungary,” Zoltán Kovács posted Wednesday on X. He did not say where the pagers were manufactured.Hungarian national security services were cooperating with international partners, and the matter posed no national security risk to Hungary, he added.BAC Consulting, which was registered as a limited liability company in May 2022, brought in $725,000 in revenue in 2022 and $593,000 in 2023, according to the company registry.Its CEO is Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, who describes herself on LinkedIn as a strategic adviser and business developer with a doctorate.BAC could be an acronym, in the Eastern name order that is used in Hungary, for Bársony-Arcidiacono Cristiana.The AP attempted to reach Bársony-Arcidiacono by email and social media sites but received no response. It was not clear what connection, if any, she or BAC had to the attack.She describes herself as a physicist and a consultant for projects to solve environmental and political issues. She co-authored a paper in 2022 for a UNESCO conference on underground water management.Among other positions, Bársony-Arcidiacono’s LinkedIn page said she serves on the board of directors of the Earth Child Institute, a sustainability group. But the group does not list Bársony-Arcidiacono among its board members on its website.She also writes that she is a strategic adviser for major international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and the CARE humanitarian agency, as well as for venture capital firms.The IAEA confirmed that a person by Bársony-Arcidiacono’s name was an intern with the agency for nine months in 2008 and 2009. The other relationships could not be immediately confirmed.In an article featuring her on an online expert site, Bársony-Arcidiacono said: “A good understanding of local issues and a network of collaborators in various areas are important to succeed.”The BAC Consulting website, which became unavailable Wednesday, describes the company’s fields of expertise as “environment, development and international affairs.”Phone calls to the number listed for BAC went unanswered. A woman who emerged Wednesday from the Budapest building housing the company’s headquarters said the location is used as a service that provides addresses to companies. She would not give her name.Social media accounts indicate Bársony-Arcidiacono studied at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the School of Oriental and African Studies. She has also posted published scientific papers on water ionization, climate change and other topics in the natural sciences.An Instagram account features many of her “photos and sketches from around the world.”“Sicily, Budapest, Paris, Africa, etc.,” it reads.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Iran’s Guard Corps denies report 19 members killed in Syria by exploding pager attack-Saudi outlet Al-Hadath also says 150 operatives injured; Lebanese health minister updates latest death toll in his country to 12, and around 2,750 injured-By ToI Staff and Agencies 18 September 2024, 5:18 pm

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Wednesday denied a report that a massive wave of pager explosions the day before in Lebanon had also killed 19 of its members in Syria.Saudi Arabian outlet Al-Hadath had made the claim, saying the deaths occurred in the Deir Ezzor region in eastern Syria and that a further 150 IRGC members were injured.The IRGC said none of its members were “martyred in the pagers incident” and that any reports to that effect were “false,” the Islamic Republic’s Mizan news agency reported.Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said Wednesday that 12 people were killed in his country and between 2,750 and 2,800 others were wounded, revising the toll up from nine dead.“After checking with all the hospitals,” the toll was revised to “12 dead including two children,” Abiad told a news conference.The dead included a girl and a boy as well as four health workers from private hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs who had pagers, he said.Abiad said that “the attack was very big” with about 2,800 wounded people pouring into Lebanese hospitals “within half an hour.”The unprecedented explosions also reportedly killed and injured a number of people in Syria.Iran provides funds and military support to both Hezbollah and the Syrian regime.Hundreds of the wireless devices exploded simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday, hours after Israel said it was broadening the aims of the Gaza war to include its fight against Hamas ally Hezbollah, which has been attacking across the northern border in support of Gaza since last October.Israel has yet to comment on the attacks.The pagers went off in the Iran-backed Hezbollah group’s main strongholds of southern Beirut and Lebanon’s east and south.“A little less than 300 patients are in critical condition” with some suffering from face injuries and brain hemorrhaging, Abiad said.“The wounded who arrived at the emergency room were not all young men. We saw children and elderly people,” Abiad said.Iran, Hezbollah’s ally and sponsor, accused Israel on Wednesday of “mass murder” over the pager attack.Iran’s envoy to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was among those wounded in the attack, suffering injuries “to the hand and the face” and losing one eye, according to a report in The New York Times.Reuters reported on Wednesday that the Mossad had tampered with some 5,000 pagers destined for Hezbollah before they reached Lebanon, inserting explosive material that was detonated remotely on Tuesday, after months undetected.Hezbollah announced the deaths of 12 members of the terror group on Tuesday — including some killed in separate Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon — and blamed Israel for the spree of pager blasts, promising to retaliate. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was not hurt in the explosions, the group said.Israeli leaders in recent days have expressed their belief that only military action can bring an end to the clashes along the northern border. Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks on the north on October 8, but claims it is not interested in war, and has said it will halt the attacks when the war in Gaza ends. Both terror groups avowedly seek to destroy Israel.

Gallant says IDF diverting resources to northern border in ‘new phase’ of war-As troops move north amid rising tensions with Hezbollah, after two days of mysterious explosions in Lebanon, IDF chief says Israel has ‘many capabilities’ it can yet deploy-By Emanuel Fabian and Lazar Berman 18 September 2024, 10:35 pm

Israeli political and defense officials ramped up their rhetoric on Wednesday indicating the IDF would be pivoting its efforts toward the northern border in a “new phase” of the war, amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah following widespread attacks on Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon attributed to Israel.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF chief Herzi Halevi and other officials all issued statements Wednesday evening which appeared to suggest a full-on war with Hezbollah was brewing, hours after a wave of explosions of walkie-talkies and other communications devices used by Hezbollah members across Lebanon caused widespread casualties, echoing a similar attack a day earlier that targeted Hezbollah-issued pagers.The IDF also announced Wednesday that it was redeploying its 98th Division to northern Israel, after months of operations in the Gaza Strip under the Southern Command.“The center of gravity is moving north. We are diverting forces, resources, and energy toward the north,” Gallant told Israeli Air Force personnel at the Ramat David Airbase in remarks published by his office.During more than 11 months of fighting Hamas in Gaza, Israel has also been exchanging near-daily cross-border fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, although it has largely avoided escalating to an all-out war, as it focused its efforts on the south. Nevertheless, 26 civilians in Israel and 20 IDF soldiers have been killed in Hezbollah attacks near the northern border, while more than 450 Hezbollah members have been reported killed, as have more than 100 civilians in Lebanon.“I believe that we are at the onset of a new phase in this war, and we need to adapt,” Gallant added. “We will need consistency over time, this war requires great courage, determination, and perseverance.”The defense minister — who has been widely reported to be facing dismissal by Netanyahu — said Israel’s war goals in the north are “clear and simple: to return the residents of the towns in the north to their homes safely.”“We have not forgotten the hostages and we have not forgotten our tasks in the south. This is our duty and we are performing it at the same time,” Gallant added.Israel has not publicly commented on Tuesday and Wednesday’s pager and walkie-talkie attacks, although Hezbollah has blamed Jerusalem for the explosions, vowing revenge, and anonymous US officials have told foreign media outlets that Israeli agencies were behind the assault. More than 20 people have been killed and thousands reported wounded in the two days of mysterious attacks in Lebanon.In a very brief video statement on Wednesday, Netanyahu stated: “I’ve already said, we will return residents of the north safely to their homes, and that is exactly what we will do.”Israel’s Channel 12 news reported on Thursday evening that the security cabinet on Tuesday, at a meeting that added “the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes” to the formal aims of the ongoing war, also jointly empowered Netanyahu and Gallant “to take defensive and offensive steps against Hezbollah in order to meet the aims of the war.”Meanwhile, military officials also indicated that the IDF’s efforts would soon be focused on Israel’s northern border.During a visit to the Northern Command on Wednesday, Halevi warned that Israel has “many more capabilities” that have not yet been used in the fight against Hezbollah.“We are very determined to create the security conditions that will bring the residents [of the north] back to their homes, to the towns, with a high level of security, and we are ready to do whatever is required to enable this,” Halevi said in a video released by the IDF.“We have many capabilities that we have not yet employed,” he continued. “We have seen some of these [capabilities in use], it seems to me that we are well prepared and we are preparing these plans going forward.”The IDF chief said that “the rule is that every time we take action at a certain stage, the next two stages are ready to go forward strongly. At each stage the price for Hezbollah should grow higher.”And the chief of the IDF’s Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, said Wednesday that the military was determined to change the security situation on the Lebanese border as soon as possible.“The mission is clear: We are determined to change the security reality as soon as possible. The commitment of the commanders and the troops here is complete, with peak readiness for any task that will be required,” Gordin said in remarks provided by the IDF.Gordin visited a drill carried out Wednesday by reservists of the IDF’s 179th Brigade. Another drill was carried out earlier this week by the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade, the IDF said.Both brigade-level drills simulated fighting in Lebanon, including maneuvering in enemy territory and extracting wounded under fire, according to the military.

BERLIN, Germany — Germany has put a hold on new exports of weapons of war to Israel while it deals with legal challenges, according to a Reuters analysis of data and a source close to the Economy Ministry.Last year, Germany approved arms exports to Israel worth 326.5 million euros ($363.5 million), including military equipment and war weapons, a 10-fold increase from 2022, according to data from the Economy Ministry, which approves export licenses.However, approvals have dropped this year, with only 14.5 million euros’ ($16.1 million) worth granted from January to August 21, according to data provided by the Economy Ministry in response to a parliamentary question.Of this, the “weapons of war” category accounted for only 32,449 euros.A source close to the ministry cited a senior government official as saying it had stopped work on approving export licenses for arms to Israel pending a resolution of legal cases, arguing that such exports from Germany breached humanitarian law.The ministry did not respond to requests for comment.In its defense of two cases, one before the International Court of Justice and one in Berlin brought by the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), the government has said no weapons of war have been exported under any license issued since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, apart from spares for long-term contracts, the source added.On October 7, Hamas led a devastating cross-border attack on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians. Israel responded with a military offensive to destroy Hamas in Gaza and save 251 people who were abducted from the country during the terrorist assault and taken as hostages to Gaza.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 40,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and the health ministry does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.The fighting has displaced most of the population of 2.3 million, caused a humanitarian crisis, and led to genocide allegations at the World Court, which Israel denies.No case challenging German arms exports to Israel has yet succeeded, including a case brought by Nicaragua at the ICJ.Disagreement on arms exports in the German government-But the issue has created friction within the government as the Chancellery maintains its support for Israel, while the Greens-led Economy and Foreign ministries, sensitive to criticism from party members, have increasingly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration.Legal challenges across Europe have also led other allies of Israel to pause or suspend arms exports.Britain this month suspended 30 of 350 licenses for arms exports to Israel due to concerns that Israel could be violating international humanitarian law.In February, a Dutch court ordered the Netherlands to halt all exports of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, over concerns about their use in attacks on civilian targets in Gaza.US President Joe Biden’s administration this year paused — but then resumed — shipments of some bombs to Israel over US concerns about their use in densely populated Gaza.Approvals and shipments of other types of weapons, in more precise systems, continued as US officials maintained that Israel needed the capacity to defend itself.Alexander Schwarz, a lawyer at ECCHR, which has filed five lawsuits against Berlin, suggested that the significant decline in approvals for 2024 indicated a genuine, though possibly temporary, reluctance to supply weapons to Israel.“However, I would not interpret this as a conscious change in policy,” Schwarz added.

North Korea launches ballistic missiles for second time in a week by Thomas Maresca.

Washington DC (UPI) Sep 17, 2024-North Korea fired several ballistic missiles on Wednesday, South Korea's military said, the isolated regime's second launch in less than a week as tensions mount on the Korean Peninsula.The missiles were fired from an area north of Pyongyang at 6:50 a.m. and traveled roughly 250 miles to the northeast, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters.The South Korean military is analyzing the launch and closely sharing information with the United States and Japan, the message said."Our military will maintain the ability and posture to overwhelmingly respond to any provocation while keeping a close eye on North Korea's various activities under the firm South Korea-U.S. joint defense posture," the JCS added.The United States and Japan also announced that they had detected the launch.Tokyo's Defense Ministry said that the missiles appeared to splash down in the sea off the east coast of North Korea and did not reach Japan's exclusive economic zone."North Korea's series of actions, including its repeated launches of ballistic missiles, threaten the peace and security of Japan, the region and the international community," the ministry said in a statement.Hawaii-based U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said it is consulting with regional allies after the launch."The United States condemns these actions and calls on the DPRK to refrain from further unlawful and destabilizing acts," the command said in a statement. "While we have assessed that this event does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, or territory, or to our allies, we continue to monitor the situation."The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the official name of North Korea.The launch comes less than a week after the North fired a salvo of short-range missiles, which Pyongyang later said was the test of a new 600mm multiple rocket launcher.The United States and South Korea refer to the 600mm rocket system as the KN-25 and characterize it as a short-range ballistic missile. North Korea has claimed since October 2022 that the weapon can be fitted with a tactical nuclear warhead.Tensions are climbing on the Korean Peninsula as the North continues to unveil military hardware and test new weapons, some of which could be intended for shipment to Russia.Pyongyang and Moscow have strengthened their relationship in the wake of the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signing a mutual defense treaty in June. A recent South Korean intelligence report said the North has sent 13,000 shipping containers suspected of carrying arms to Russia since mid-2022.North Korea's top diplomat is on a visit to Russia this week, while Russian Security Council head Sergei Shoigu recently met with Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang.North Korea is also stirring up fresh concerns about its nuclear weapons program, with Kim publicly visiting a uranium enrichment facility last week and calling for an "exponential" boost of the regime's nuclear arsenal.

North Korea fires multiple short-range ballistic missiles by AFP Staff Writers.

Seoul (AFP) Sept 18, 2024-North Korea fired a salvo of short-range ballistic missiles early Wednesday, Seoul's military said, Pyongyang's second such weapons test in a week.Leader Kim Jong Un's regime has staged dozens of launches this year, part of a testing spree that experts say could be linked to North Korea's alleged illicit supplying of weapons to ally Russia for use in Ukraine.Pyongyang has denied any sanctions-busting weapons trade with Russia, but with diplomacy long stalled, it declared South Korea its "principal enemy" this year and recently moved nuclear-capable weapons to border areas.The launch follows North Korea's recent dispatch of its foreign minister to Moscow -- a key supporter of Kim's regime -- for her second visit in less than a year.The North is also preparing for a parliamentary meeting in October that is expected to approve measures likely to escalate tensions with South Korea, including incorporating the hostile relationship between the two Koreas into its constitution.Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it had "detected and (was) analysing several short-range ballistic missiles launched to the northeast around 06:50 (2150 GMT)"."In preparation for additional launches, our military has strengthened monitoring and vigilance, while closely sharing information," with allies Tokyo and Washington, it added.Tokyo also confirmed the launch, with the country's coastguard saying one missile had splashed down already."Vessels please pay attention to information coming ahead and if you spot fallen objects please don't approach closer but report it to the coastguard," it said in a statement.Japan's Defence Minister Minoru Kihara later said the missiles "appear to have landed on around the eastern coast of North Korea's inland area," and therefore "are outside Japan's EEZ", adding no damage was reported.Seoul's military said the missiles were fired from the North's Kaechon area in South Phyongan Province, and flew about 400 kilometres (250 miles)."North Korea's missile launch is a clear act of provocation that seriously threatens peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and we strongly condemn it," Seoul's JCS said in a statement.Last Thursday, the North fired what Seoul described as multiple short range ballistic missiles into waters east of the Korean peninsula, the nuclear-armed country's first major weapons test since early July.North Korean state media later claimed that this had been a test of a "new-type 600mm multiple rocket launcher" which was overseen by Kim.- Moscow ties -North Korea has recently bolstered military ties with Moscow, with President Vladimir Putin making a rare visit to Pyongyang in June, where he signed a mutual defence agreement with Kim.Experts have long said North Korean missiles are being deployed in Ukraine."Considering the resurgence of the war in Ukraine and Shoigu's recent visit to North Korea, the latest missile launches could be for exports to Russia," Yang Moo-jin, president of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, told AFP."Today's missile launch may also be intended to strengthen anti-South sentiment among North Koreans as part of efforts to solidify the regime ahead of what is understood as the 'constitutional formalisation' of the hostile two-nation theory of the Koreas in October," he added.A report released last week by Conflict Armament Research employed debris analysis to show "that missiles produced this year in North Korea are being used" on the battlefield against Kyiv.Russian security chief Sergei Shoigu visited Pyongyang last weekend, state media reported, and met Kim for talks.Moscow is seeking ammunition to continue its more than 30-month offensive in Ukraine.- Trash balloons -Since May, North Korea has sent more than 5,000 trash-carrying balloons southward, saying they are retaliation for propaganda balloons launched by South Korean activists.Last week, the North released images of its uranium enrichment facility for the first time, showing Kim touring it as he called for more centrifuges to boost his nuclear arsenal.The country, which conducted its first nuclear test in 2006 and is under rafts of UN sanctions for its banned weapons programmes, has never publicly disclosed details of its uranium enrichment facility."In light of the recent disclosures regarding its uranium enrichment facilities, (the latest missile launches) may be paving the way for North Korea's seventh nuclear test", said Yang, of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.North Korea's nuclear weapons programmes are banned by UN sanctions, but the country has long flouted the restrictions, thanks in part to support from allies Russia and China.

North Korea's top diplomat heads to Russia as military cooperation grows-by Thomas Maresca

Washington DC (UPI) Sep 17, 2024-North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui departed for a trip to Russia, state media reported Tuesday, as the two regimes continue to strengthen ties amid growing international concern about their military cooperation.Choe left for Russia on Monday to attend the Eurasian Women's Forum and the BRICS Women's Forum, state-run Korean Central News Agency reported in a brief dispatch.The Russian Embassy in Pyongyang also announced the trip on its Telegram channel, saying the minister traveled on a commercial North Korean Air Koryo flight and would participate in the forums in St. Petersburg Wednesday through Friday.Choe will also take part in an "extensive cultural program," the embassy said.The trip is the second to Russia this year by the North Korean envoy, who rarely travels abroad. She visited in January and held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of a series of high-level exchanges between the two increasingly isolated regimes.Pyongyang and Moscow have strengthened their relationship in the wake of the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Putin signing a mutual defense treaty in June.Washington and its allies accuse North Korea of supplying munitions to Russia, which Pyongyang has denied. A recent South Korean intelligence report said the North has sent 13,000 shipping containers suspected of carrying arms to Russia since mid-2022.North Korea, meanwhile, is believed to be receiving advanced technology for its space and missile programs along with a much-needed boost for its ailing economy.Ukraine's spy chief said on Saturday that North Korea's supply of military aid to Russia far outstrips that of any other allies and is among the largest challenges that Ukrainian forces are facing on the battlefield."Seven to ten days after delivery, hostilities intensify, and there is nothing we can currently do to stop it," Kyrylo Budanov, head of military intelligence agency GUR, said at the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv. "The volumes from North Korea are not comparable with anything else. There is a big gap between that and what is provided by other allies."At a press briefing Monday, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Washington continues to be "incredibly concerned by the expanding security relationship between North Korea and Russia."Miller expressed concern "both for the support that North Korea continues to provide to Russia to prosecute its illegal war against Ukraine, and for the prospect of Russia assisting North Korea in ways that ultimately will be destabilizing to the Korean Peninsula."Foreign Minister Choe's trip comes on the heels of a visit to Pyongyang by Sergei Shoigu, head of Russia's Security Council, last week.According to KCNA, Shoigu met with Kim Jong Un Friday and the two discussed "steadily deepening the strategic dialogue between the two countries and strengthening cooperation to defend the mutual security interests and on the regional and international situations."

Czechs to develop small nuclear reactors with Rolls-Royce.

Prague, Sept 18 (AFP) Sep 18, 2024-The Czech government said Wednesday it endorsed Britain's Rolls-Royce as a partner for the state-owned power group CEZ to develop small modular nuclear reactors (SMR).The Czech Republic depends on CEZ's two nuclear plants for 30 percent of its electricity generation."The government has acknowledged and endorsed the partnership with Rolls-Royce SMR," Prime Minister Petr Fiala told reporters.Prague does not want to buy SMRs but to enable Czech companies to develop and produce them, he added."This is what the strategic cooperation with Rolls-Royce enables," said Fiala, adding the first Czech SMR could be built in the first half of the 2030s.CEZ, which runs nuclear plants in the southern villages of Temelin and Dukovany, is planning to install the first SMR at Temelin.Other bidders for the partnership included US giant Westinghouse, the US-Japanese grouping GE Hitachi and France's EDF.CEZ said earlier it was planning to install up to 10 small modular reactors by 2050.Compared with conventional nuclear reactors, the SMRs are relatively simple to build, as their systems and components can be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation.They are also more affordable than large power reactors and bear low risk of a serious accident.In July, CEZ announced it had chosen South Korean power giant KHNP to build two conventional nuclear units at a cost of almost nine billion dollars at Dukovany.The new units will raise the share of nuclear energy to half as coal-fired power stations are gradually phased out as part of a shift towards greener energy resources.The government expects the first new KHNP reactor to be launched in trial operation in 2036.

Japan suspends trial removal of Fukushima nuclear debris.

Tokyo, Sept 17 (AFP) Sep 17, 2024-The operator of Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant said on Tuesday it has suspended an operation to remove a sample of highly radioactive material because of a new technical problem.Extracting the estimated 880 tons of highly radioactive fuel and debris inside the former power station remains the most challenging part of decommissioning the facility, which was hit by a catastrophic tsunami in 2011.Radioactivity levels inside are far too high for humans to enter and earlier this month engineers began inserting an extendable device to try and remove a small sample.However, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) had to halt the procedure on Tuesday after noticing that remote cameras on the apparatus were not beaming back images to the control centre."We are investigating the cause of the problem," TEPCO spokesman Tatsuya Matoba told AFP."We need to find out the cause of the trouble before resuming," he said.TEPCO originally planned to start on August 22, aiming to collect three grams (0.1 ounces) for analysis, but technical problems caused a delay.Three of Fukushima's six reactors went into meltdown after a tsunami triggered by Japan's biggest earthquake on record swamped the facility in one of the world's worst atomic accidents.Japan began last year releasing into the Pacific Ocean some of the 540 Olympic swimming pools' worth of reactor cooling water amassed since the catastrophe.China and Russia banned Japanese seafood imports as a result although Tokyo insists the discharge is safe, a view backed by the UN atomic agency.In a TEPCO initiative to promote food from the Fukushima area, swanky London department store Harrods began selling peaches grown in the region this month.

EU to name new defence tsar - but is the job a dud? By Max DELANY

Brussels, Belgium (AFP) Sept 16, 2024-Faced with Russia's war on Ukraine, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen has promised to name a designated defence commissioner as a key part of her new top team.The message is meant to be clear: Europe is serious about rearming.But while the position was originally billed as central to the EU's ambitions, there are now major doubts over how much power it will actually have.That has meant heavyweight EU member states no longer seem so keen to snaffle up the role, set to be unveiled as part of the bloc's new line-up in the coming days."The idea of creating a new position of an exclusive defence commissioner reflects the growing importance of defence for Europe today," Burkard Schmitt, defence and security director at industry association ASD, told AFP."While the ambition behind this idea is commendable, the key question is: what would it actually mean in practice?" said Schmitt, who was speaking in a personal capacity rather than for his organisation.For now, commission president von der Leyen has been tight-lipped about what exactly the job would entail.One thing is sure -- the new defence commissioner is not a sort of EU defence minister.The 27-nation bloc has no army of its own and is not planning to set up one any time soon.Instead the main focus will be overseeing efforts to try to bolster the continent's defence sector.During von der Leyen's first five years at the helm, the defence industry was part of a wide-ranging mandate overseen by powerful French commissioner Thierry Breton -- who dramatically quit Monday in a spat with von der Leyen.Even before Breton's walkout the defence brief was expected to be spun off to a dedicated new commissioner.- Show them the money? -Since Russia's tanks rolled into Ukraine in 2022, the defence push has become a major preoccupation in Europe.But after years of underinvestment, Europe has struggled to ratchet up capacity and remains a long way behind Russia in the race to churn out arms.Despite a slew of initiatives since Moscow's all-out invasion, the EU has yet to come up with the major sums needed to match its ambitions on defence.Countries jealously guard their defence industries and have been reluctant to cede more control in the sector to Brussels.While von der Leyen has estimated that the bloc will need to invest 500 billion euros ($550 billion) overall on defence over the next decade -- the figures on the table at an EU level are far below that.Convincing member states to spend chunks of their tightly guarded budgets on EU efforts will be a tough ask -- as will getting them to open up their national producers to competition.And unless the new commissioner has considerable funds to play with, their job risks lacking firepower."Whether a dedicated defence commissioner will make a difference depends mainly on the budget allocated to that file," said Schmitt."A defence budget of 100 billion would obviously have a bigger impact than a budget of 10 billion."- Turf war? -Experts say that to increase the heft of the new job von der Leyen could fold in other responsibilities.Those may include cyber security, protecting critical infrastructure, space, or efforts to boost the ability to transport troops from one part of Europe to another."You can fatten out the portfolio beyond the perimeters that have been sketched out, that isn't too difficult," said Camille Grand, of the European Council on Foreign Relations.But whoever takes the new job could face a challenge carving out their niche in a turf war for influence in Brussels with some of the big names in the next commission.Looming on one side will likely be Paris' pick to replace Breton, current French foreign minister Stephane Sejourne.On the other will be new foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, whose role involves overseeing the bloc's security policy."It's up to the president of the Commission to properly define the role," said Guntram Wolff of the Bruegel think tank.Diplomats say the questions swirling over the new job have seen EU powerhouses such as France and Poland switch their priorities to obtaining other positions -- with defence now a fall-back option."I think it's a very attractive plan B for many," said one EU diplomat.Despite the doubts over the role, analysts said that given growing threats in the world, and since the United States may continue to step back from Europe, the defence gig was likely to be a mainstay in future administrations."It's possible that the job will become more important and more significant over time," said Ian Lesser, Brussels head at the German Marshall Fund think tank."I don't see it as a transient experiment."

WEEK OF DANIEL 9:27 WE KNOW ITS 7 YRS

The King of Jerusalem[1] was the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Crusader state founded by Christian princes in 1099 when the First Crusade took the city.Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, himself refused the title of king, and instead chose the title "Defender of the Holy Sepulchre". Thus, the title of king was only introduced for his successor, King Baldwin I in 1100. The city of Jerusalem was lost in 1187, but the Kingdom of Jerusalem survived (also known as the "Second Kingdom of Jerusalem"), moving its capital to Acre in 1191. The city of Jerusalem was re-captured in the Sixth Crusade, during 1229–39 and 1241–44. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was finally dissolved with the fall of Acre and the end of the Crusades in the Holy Land in 1291.After the Crusader States ceased to exist, the title of King of Jerusalem was claimed by a number of European noble houses descended from the kings of Cyprus or the kings of Naples. The (purely ceremonial) title of King of Jerusalem is currently used by Felipe VI of Spain. It was claimed by Otto von Habsburg as Habsburg pretender, and by the kings of Italy until 1946.

DR SAMUEL DOCTORIANS VISION - SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

Saudi crown prince says Riyadh won’t recognize Israel without Palestinian state-Mohammed bin Salman says kingdom will continue ‘its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital’By Agencies and ToI Staff 18 September 2024, 8:39 pm

DUBAI — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said Wednesday the kingdom would not recognize Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.“We renew the kingdom’s rejection and strong condemnation of the crimes of the Israeli occupation authority against the Palestinian people,” the crown prince, known as MBS, said.He added that “the kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that.”Such a move is considered a key sticking point with the current right-wing Israeli government, which has repeatedly rejected the possibility of a Palestinian state, especially in the wake of the October 7 attack, saying that doing so would be tantamount to rewarding terrorism.After the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war following the terror group’s deadly October 7 onslaught, Saudi Arabia largely put on ice US-backed plans for the kingdom to normalize ties with Israel, two sources familiar with Riyadh’s thinking said earlier this year.But Saudi officials have continued to publicly and privately say since the start of the war that a normalization deal with Israel is still on its diplomatic agenda, while publicly pushing for a ceasefire in the Gaza war.MBS, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, said just weeks before the fighting broke out that Riyadh was getting closer to a deal, but talks were essentially frozen in the first months of the war.The two sources told Reuters earlier this year that there would be some delay in the US-backed talks on normalization of Saudi-Israel ties, which is seen as a key step for the kingdom to secure what it considers the real prize of a US defense pact in exchange.MBS made the remarks Wednesday at an annual speech to the advisory Shura Council, which he gave on behalf of his father, King Salman. The council swore an oath of office before MBS on Wednesday before he addressed it.

UN General Assembly demands Israeli pullout from Palestinian areas within 12 months-Resolution put forward by Palestinians urges embargo on arms that might be used in territories; Foreign Ministry says ‘cynical’ motion harms peace, encourages terror-By Lazar Berman and Agencies 18 September 2024, 9:17 pm

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution Wednesday demanding that Israel entirely pull out of Palestinian areas within a year, and called for an embargo on arms that Israel might use in those areas.The Foreign Ministry panned the decision as “cynical international politics” that would encourage terrorism and harm the chances for peace.The resolution called for Israel to “end without delay its unlawful presence” in “Occupied Palestinian Territory” within 12 months, including all soldiers and civilians.The resolution welcomed a July ruling by the International Court of Justice that said Israel’s control of Palestinian territories and settlements is illegal and should be withdrawn.The advisory by the highest United Nations court, also known as the World Court, said this should be done “as rapidly as possible,” while the General Assembly resolution imposed a 12-month deadline.The UN also called on states to “take steps towards ceasing the importation of any products originating in the Israeli settlements, as well as the provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel… where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that they may be used in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”The resolution was sponsored by the “State of Palestine” and 29 other countries, mostly Muslim nations. The UAE was the only Arab country that has recognized Israel to decline adding its name to the sponsors (though it voted in favor of the resolution).Some 124 countries supported the measure, 14 opposed it, and 43 abstained. Israel, the US, Czechia, and Argentina were the largest countries opposing, along with Pacific island nations. Paraguay and Malawi also opposed the measure.Many European nations abstained, including Ukraine, the UK, Germany, and Italy, as did Canada and Australia.The Foreign Ministry said it was “a distorted decision that is disconnected from reality, encourages terrorism, and harms the chances for peace.”Israel charged that the resolution ignores October 7, when Palestinian terror group Hamas led a devastating cross-border attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and during which terrorists abducted 251 people who were taken as hostages to Gaza.The resolution, the ministry said in a statement posted to X, strengthens Hamas and “the Iranian terrorist state that stands behind it,” while sending a message that “terrorism pays.” It also makes a hostage deal less likely, the ministry argued, referring to efforts via international mediators to reach a ceasefire in exchange for the release of captives.“Israel will respond accordingly,” the statement threatened, but did not lay out exactly how it may retaliate against the Palestinian Authority for the move.“The Palestinian-led UN resolution which calls for unilateral moves against Israel, will not end the conflict, but will embolden an already RADICALIZED Palestinian Authority,” the ministry added on X. “Peace can and will only be achieved through direct negotiations and the de-radicalization of the PA.”Foreign Minister Israel Katz previously threatened to “break and dissolve” the PA if it went ahead with the UN move, his office told the Times of Israel last week. He also instructed the ministry to prepare a set of responses against the PA that will be calibrated to match the severity of the final resolution.The resolution was the first to be formally put forward by the Palestinian Authority since it gained additional rights and privileges this month, including a seat among UN members in the assembly hall and the right to propose draft resolutions.US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield urged countries to vote no on Wednesday. Washington — an arms supplier to Israel and a long-term ally — has long opposed unilateral measures that its says undermine the prospects of a two-state solution.Countries debated the resolution on Tuesday.The ICJ advisory opinion is not binding, but carries weight under international law and may weaken support for Israel. A General Assembly resolution also is not binding, but carries political weight. There is no veto power in the assembly.Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan and the Gaza Strip from Egypt — all areas the Palestinians want for a state — in the 1967 Six Day War. It has since built settlements in the West Bank and steadily expanded them. It had settlements in the Gaza Strip until removing them under the 2005 Disengagement, following which Hamas took control of the territory.The General Assembly on October 27 last year called for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza with 120 votes in favor. In December, 153 countries voted to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Israel has vowed to continue fighting until the hostages are returned and Hamas’s rule over the territory is ended.The Palestinian Authority, based in the West Bank, represents the Palestinian people at the UN, where it is a non-member observer state and the delegation is known as the “State of Palestine.”The UN resolution came days before world leaders travel to New York for their annual UN gathering. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to address the 193-member General Assembly on September 26, the same day that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will also do so.

Blinken in Egypt to press Israel-Hamas ceasefire-Picture of JNS September 18, 2024

Washington is still working with Egypt and Qatar to come up with a revised Israel-Hamas agreement.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Cairo, Egypt on Wednesday morning, his tenth trip to the Middle East since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.“The secretary will meet with Egyptian officials to discuss ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza that secures the release of all hostages, alleviates the suffering of the Palestinian people, and helps establish broader regional security,” according to the U.S. State Department.Washington is still working with Egypt and Qatar to come up with a revised Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday.No timetable was presented for a new draft agreement, but Miller said the United States was “working expeditiously to try to develop that proposal.” Blinken said last week that more than 90% of the issues have been agreed to by both Israel and Hamas.“So we’re down to a handful of issues, not even a handful of issues that are hard but fully resolvable in our judgment. And as we’ve said before, when you get down to the last 10%, the last 10 meters, those are almost by definition the hardest ground to cover, but we believe that these are fully resolvable,” said Blinken.“Right now, we are working with our Egyptian and Qatari counterparts to work together to bridge any remaining gaps, and in the coming time, very soon, we’ll put that before the parties, and we’ll see what they say,” he added.In Monday’s comments, Miller confirmed the two main obstacles to reaching an agreement: Jerusalem’s insistence on maintaining security control of the buffer zone between Gaza and Egypt, called the Philadelphi Corridor; and specifics regarding the Palestinian terrorists to be released from Israeli prisons in return for hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
