"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." Revelation 2:7
I pray he heard and believed The Word, all of it.

The Palestinian man accused of selling a house near Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs to a Jewish family has reportedly been sentenced to death by the Palestinian Authority.
Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon reported that Mohammed Abu Shahala acted as an agent for the original Palestinian owner of what has come to be known as "Machpela House."
After the story went public, sources in Hebron told the newspaper that Shahala was arrested and tortured by Palestinian security. During his second "interrogation" session, Shahala confessed not only to acting as an agent for local Palestinians willing to sell their houses to Jews, but also to cooperating with Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Shahala reportedly received an expedited trial, and his death sentence is now awaiting the signature of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Several Jewish settler leaders are trying to save his life.
And 'they' call Israel the oppressor.

"...the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me." John 16:2-3
This Thursday, April 19,2012 Israel will mark its annual Holocaust Memorial Day, a solemn remembrance of the 6 million Jews who perished in Nazi-controlled Europe.
Sirens will wail throughout the country and public life will come to a standstill for two minutes in honor of the victims. Israel Radio will talk about the importance of not forgetting the horrible past. But soon enough, it will be very difficult for most not to do so.
There are still 198,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel, but every hour another one of them dies. In 20 years’ time, no eye witness to that horrific chapter in human history will be left.

A Jewish man walking near the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's Old City was attacked with an axe for the crime of being Jewish. The man suffered wounds to his head. The young Arab perpetrator managed to escape the scene back into the nearby Arab-dominated neighborhoods.
Last week, a young Jewish bridegroom tried to visit his mother's grave atop the Mount of Olives before his wedding, only to be viciously attacked by a mob of Arab youths. At one point, the Jewish man was pulled from his car and brutally beaten. The Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives is the site of regular acts of Arab vandalism, an phenomenon so common that it is no longer covered by international or even local Israeli media.
Three weeks ago, a young female Jewish soldier was stabbed and nearly killed while riding the new light rail through an Arab neighborhood in northern Jerusalem.
And now we begin to see some Israelis pushing back.
Last week, two young Jewish men were arrested for allegedly attacking an Arab man on Jerusalem's light rail. A week before that, a police investigation was launched into a recent riot by Jewish soccer fans at the Malha Mall, during which several Arab maintenance workers were attacked.
"The burden of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus declares the Lord, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples." Zechariah 12

Terrorists operating out of the Egyptian Sinai fired at least one Grad missile into the southern Israel resort town of Eilat early Thursday morning. The missile landed in a residential neighborhood, but miraculously did not cause any injuries or damage.
Local residents reported hearing three explosions at the time of the attack, but so far security forces have only found the remains of one missile.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the Sinai is increasingly becoming a base for terrorist activity following the takeover of the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamic groups in Egypt.
"Why do the nations rage, and the people plot [conspire] a vain thing?
... the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.' He who sits in the heavens shall laugh... and distress them in His deep displeasure.... [But] blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." Psalm 2:1-12
