And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Matthew 11:23-26)
How is this similar to what the Lord said of Mystery Babylon?
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven (space program) and though she should fortify the height of her stength (Missle Defense System), yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 51:53)
The Lord speaks to the King of Babylon and Lucifer in Isaiah 14:
For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
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:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isiah 14:1,4, 13-15)

| United States President George W. Bush has changed the itinerary of his trip to Israel in order to fit in a visit to Capernaum, the Christian holy site. The U.S. president has specifically requested that his January 9 trip to Israel include a stop at the place in which, according to the New Testament, Jesus chose his 12 apostles. Bush is likely to arrive there in his presidential helicopter under heavy protection. White House security personnel have already visited the Galilee site and have planned the security arrangements in coordination with the Israel Police.
Officials at the Prime Minister's Office are preparing for Bush's visit to Israel, and have established a special task force dedicated only to his vist. The task force will be headed by Amnon Ben-Ami, deputy director of the PMO. At least 8,000 police officers will provide security for the visit. An official reception will be held at Ben-Gurion International Airport, with VIPs welcoming the U.S. president. The president, the prime minister, ministers, MKs, General Staff officers, senior police officers, the Supreme Court president and other dignitaries are expected to attend. Following the ceremony, Bush will head to Jerusalem and will be hosted by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Route 1 will be blocked from the airport to the capital, and traffic will be diverted to route 443. Around 120 foreign journalists are expected to attend, and a special media center is likely to be set up for the occasion. www.soundanalarm.net |
