Subject: The Sharm e-Sheikh Summit, The Visit of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, and the Pressure of the European Union and the Arab Nations, Are Another Evil Anti-Godly Attack To Divide the Land of Israel And To Put Pressure On the Weak Prime Minister, ArielThe Sharm e-Sheikh Summit, The Visit of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, and the Pressure of the European Union and the Arab Nations, Are Another Evil Anti-Godly Attack To Divide the Land of Israel And To Put Pressure On the Weak Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom theyThis Is The Word of G–d to All of Them: Joel 4:1,2
have scattered among the nations, and have divided my land.
On Sunday 6th February 2005, The United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, made a short visit to Israel where she met with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and later with the Chairman of the PLO, Abu Mazen. Her main statement and message to both of them was that she came to encourage the establishment of a so-called “Palestinian” state in the midst of the land of Israel, in Samaria, Judaea and Gaza and to remove the holy settlements from them. These are the most holy and Biblical areas of the promised land of the G–d of Israel to His people, Israel. In this she confirmed the many statements, one just recently, of President George Bush that the establishment of a “Palestinian” state is one of his main goals during his second term as president.On Tuesday 8th February 2005 a summit took place in Sharm e-Sheikh in Sinai, or as it was called, Ophira, a city which was built by Israel in the Sinai Peninsula which is part of the promised land and an important area of the kingdom of King Solomon. This city was given to Egypt together with all the Sinai Peninsula by the former prime Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin, in another anti-godly agreement under the umbrella of the United States called the Camp David Agreement. The present summit was called by President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt with the participation of “King” Abdullah II of Jordan, the “kingdom” which was created by the British Empire in 1921 after they divided Trans-Jordan from the land of Israel. The Chairman of the PLO, Abu Mazen, and Prime Minster Ariel Sharon participated in the summit.
To those who do not know who Abu Mazen is, we should remind them that his real name is Mahmoud Abbas, one of the leaders of the PLO terrorist organisation and the right hand of the terrorist and murderer, Yasser Arafat. Abu Mazen was responsible for many bloody attacks on Israelis, especially the bloody terror attack in Ma’alot in the north of Israel when more that 26 children were killed by the Arab terrorists sent by him to attack an Israeli school. In the doctorate which he wrote in the Soviet Union he denied the Holocaust and that 6,000,000 Jews were killed by the Nazis.
The goal of the summit was to start the process of founding a “Palestinian” state in the land of Israel. It was called a “Peace” summit . This is just the false cover for the summit and, like Arafat and the Arab leaders when they spoke about “peace”, the meaning is to establish a “Palestinian” state in the midst of Israel and, in the next stage, to destroy Israel. In this way they seek to fulfil the “Palestinian” covenant which speaks of destroying Israel in stages. The summit was another attempt to bring about the “Palestinian” covenant and to destroy Israel in this way.
The summit took place at a time when Ariel Sharon has changed his position over the past year and has stated that he now supports the “Palestinian” goal to establish a state in the land of Israel. He is also now doing everything to fulfil his idea of disengagement from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, both of which are important Biblical areas of the promised land and to remover the settlements from them. Both of these plans of Sharon plans have shocked and disappointed Israelis. For so many years since 1967 when these areas were liberated by the G–d and people of Israel in a redemptional war when the Arab nations attacked Israel, Ariel Sharon was the leader of the campaign against any plans to again take these areas from Israel and to divide the land. He was also the founder of all the Israeli settlements in these areas. In his eyes it was a godly redemptional event exactly as had been prophesied by Amos. -
Against everything that he had believed in the past he is now taking all steps to disengage from these holy areas, destroying the Israeli settlements in these areas and removing the settlers from their houses after 3 generations had built them with the blood of their families and children who were attacked by the terrorists of Arafat and Abu Mazen. He is acting in an undemocratic way in taking these steps and is disregarding resolutions of his voters and his Likud Party. He even fired the ministers in his government who were against this disengagement and who were in a majority in the government.
- “Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; they shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.” (Amos9:13-15)
Unfortunately for the European nations, the EU jumped at this opportunity to further their traditional anti-Israeli and pro-Arab policy. They joined with the United States’s anti-Israeli initiative and were so happy to participate in pressurising Israel to divide the land and to establish a “Palestinian” state in the midst of it.
As we see, Israel is again attacked, in this case a political attack, which will soon be followed by terrorist and military attacks to divide the small holy land which was given by the G–d of Israel to His people alone in an eternal covenant. These attacks come from all sides and from most of the nations all over the world. Unfortunately this pressure on the people of Israel also comes from inside Israel from its Prime Minister himself and from part of its leadership. For thousands of years since the G–d of Israel planted His people in the holy land, the major powers of the time have attacked Israel in military and diplomatic ways in an attempt to destroy Israel and to take the land which G–d gave them away from her. Twice they succeeded, in 586 BCE and 70 CE, when the Israeli kingdom was destroyed and the people of Israel taken into exile. In both cases, these attacks were followed and encouraged by anti-godly behaviour by its leadership. Are we again in this situation??? I am sorry to say that I am afraid that we are. However, the G–d of Israel promised His people that when in the end-times in which we ae now living, there would never again be a destruction of the Israeli state neither would they be removed from the land which He gave them. “And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.” (Amos9:15) Only the word of G–d and His promises to Israel will stand forever and come to pass. The holy land was given to the people of Israel alone and nobody is allowed to divide it and to it to foreigners not even the prime minister of Israel.
All the nations, including the major power of our time, the United States, can plan and think what they want but their plans will never come to pass. So many plans and pressures that have come on Israel since 1948 have failed and were thrown onto the garbage heap of history. The same will be the fate of the new ones. Despite the fact that they are backed by the official leadership of Israel all of them will soon be judged by the G–d of Israel and I feel so sorry for the price that the nations will have to pay for their anti-godly and anti-Israeli campaign and behaviour of their leadership, including the people of Israel and the United States. This judgement has already started with tragic events in the United States, Israel and all over the world. I am afraid that more is soon to come.
Is this a part of the end-time war against Israel? I have no doubt that it is. When the Arabs and so-called “Palestinians”, a people which never existed as a nation or state neither in the land of Israel or anywhere else in the world and invaded the land of Israel from the Arab countries in the 20th Century as a reaction to the Zionist movement, attack Israel their goal is to destroy her and to remove her from the Middle East and the world. What draws almost all the nations of the world to the small state of Israel? Why do they all support the cruel Arab enemies of Israel and are so anxious to divide the land or wipe out her existence? Why do they not deal with other countries all over the world and the major problems from which the world suffers like the genocide and hunger in Africa? Is it the continuation of thousands of years of anti-Semitism, pogroms, inquisitions and holocausts? Do they want to persecute and destroy the nation and its renewed statehood because they do not accept the decision of the G–d of Israel to make Israel His chosen people and to be His messenger to all the nations to bring to them His light, Word, values and principles that He shared with His people in an eternal covenant? Surely they are fighting His decision to redeem His people and to make them and Jerusalem His eternal focus for all the nations.
The prophets of Israel prophesied the redemptional events which we are now experiencing. They also prophesied about the difficulties and troubles of this time and the end-time attack and war against Israel which was re-established by G–d Himself in 1948 to fulfil His end-time plans not only with His people Israel but with all the world.
Ezekiel prophesied about this war calling it the war of Gog and Magog.
Jerusalem, which is at the forefront of the attacks of the Arab and Islamic nations and most of the nations of the world, is now at the focus of all their efforts diplomatically and militarily to be taken from Israel. Over the past years, the UN passed many resolutions stating that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel. The Arab and Islamic nations have for years been fighting against Israel to make Jerusalem a “Palestinian” capital. The Pope wants to make it a Catholic Christian capital. With the exception of Costa Rica and Venezuela, no nation in the world, including the United States, has recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and their embassies remain in Tel Aviv. Actually they are fighting against G–d, the Creator of the Universe Who decided thousands of years ago that Jerusalem is and will forever be His and Israel’s eternal capital.
- “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it? And you shall come from your place from the farthest north, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army; And you shall come up against my people of Israel, like a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes. ... And it shall come to pass on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God, that my fury shall be roused. ... And I will contend with him by pestilence and by blood; and I will rain down upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, a torrential rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord. ... And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them profane my holy name any more; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.” (Ezekiel38:14-16,18,22,23,39:7)
Like Ezekiel, Zechariah prophesied about the judgement of G–d on the nations who come against Israel and against Jerusalem.
At this critical time in the history of Israel and all the world, I want to say in the name of the G–d of Israel and the Universe to all the Arab and Islamic enemies of Israel, to the so-called “Palestinians”, their spearhead to destroy Israel, and to all the nations of the world which gather against Israel, to stop their military and diplomatic attacks on Israel to divide the land, to establish a “Palestinian” state, to remove the holy settlements and to give up Jerusalem. They should stop their persecution of the people of G–d over thousands of years and to ask forgiveness of Almighty G–d. They are fighting against G–d Himself and His determination to redeem Israel which will open the door for the redemption of all the world. The great godly event of the redemption of the people and land of Israel which the nations are too blind to see and do not want to accept is irreversible. Why do they reject the Word of G–d which states very clearly that:
- “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the people around, and it shall also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem. And on that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all who burden themselves with it shall be grievously hurt. And all the peoples of the earth shall be gathered together against it. ... On that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them shall be as David on that day; and the house of David shall be like a divine being, like the angel of the Lord before them. And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. ... Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.” (Zechariah12:2,3,8,9,14:3)
I call on President Bush ,who declared himself to be a believer in the G–d of Israel and a friend of His people, Israel, to stop his efforts to establish an evil and terrorist so-called “Palestinian’ state in the midst of the land of Israel which G–d gave to His people alone for a godly purpose. I call on him to stop his efforts to remove the holy settlements from Judaea, Samaria and Gaza which were planted by G–d Himself as a major part of His end-time plans to redeem the people and land of Israel. G–d gave President Bush the opportunity and privilege of having an important part in His prophetic end-time events and he should not miss this opportunity. He should follow the example of Cyrus, the king of Persia in the 6th Century BCE, who heard the call of G–d to redeem Israel from the places to where they were exiled, to re-settle them in the land which G–d gave them and to rebuild the Temple for them. Cyrus answered this call and the privilege that G–d gave to him and G–d called him “My Messiah” and blessed him.
- “And say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land; ... And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, where your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their grandchildren for ever; and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” (Ezekiel37:21,25-28)
I call on President Bush to answer to the call of G–d to him at this critical time and not to bring his people who love Israel under the judgement of G–d in the day of judgement.
- “Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him doors and gates; and the gates shall not be closed; I will go before you, and make the hilly places level; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut in sunder the bars of iron; And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my elect, I have called you by your name; I have surnamed you, though you have not known me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else, there is no God beside me; I girded you, though you have not known me; That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else. I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I the Lord do all these things.” (Isaiah45:1-7)
I call on Prime Minster Ariel Sharon not to betray the G–d of Israel and to stop running to divide the land of Israel, to establish a “Palestinian” state in the midst of it and to disengage from the land which G–d gave to His people with great mercy and love and commanded them to never give any part of it to anyone else, especially not to the enemies of the G–d and people of Israel. I call on him to stop his plans to remove the settlements from the holy areas of the land in Judaea, Samaria and Gaza. I call on him not to bring Israel and himself under the judgement of G–d, not to miss the opportunity and privilege to be a prime minister of G–d and to have a major part in His prophetic end-time events. Even he cannot stop the determination of the G–d of Israel to redeem His people and all the world.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will continue even more intensively to be faithful to the G–d of Israel at this critical time of redemption and to answer with all their devotion His call to redeem His holy Temple and mountain, to redeem the land and people of Israel and to again make the people of G–d a Biblical nation with a Biblical mission. Soon the G–d of Israel will create the right leadership for His people, Israel, who will answer His call, walk in His ways and Word and bring about all the prophetic end-time plans of G–d for Israel and all the world.
Everyone in Israel and all over the world is called on to be a part of this end-time Movement of G–d and to stand, encourage and help the Temple Mount Faithful Movement in its godly historical campaign to rebuild the house of G–d in Jerusalem and to make it a house of love, worship and prayer for Israel and all the nations as G–d commanded in His Word.
“The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” (Isaiah2:1-5)In G–d we trust.
