Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri last week called on Egyptians to complete their Islamic revolution, make a full break with the West, and wage "jihad to liberate Palestine."

Zawahiri urged Egyptians to kidnap citizens of the countries that wage wars against Muslims,  to renew demonstrations against the Israeli Embassy in Cairo and to oppose all efforts at normalizing ties between the two countries.


"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world." 1 Peter 5:8-9

Jews around the world are being forced to continually look over their shoulder:

Case in point...

...two men [reportedly in their 40s] assaulted and threatened a 12-year-old Jewish boy waiting at a bus stop in Paris. The men hit the boy repeatedly with a belt and hurled insults at him in Arabic.

A day later, a Hungarian mob burned an Israeli flag in front of a synagogue in Budapest. The inflammatory and threatening act was perpetrated by Hungarian ultra-nationalists.

But anti-semitism is hardly confined to Europe:

this week, a Nazi swastika was found spray-painted in an elevator in a Jewish neighborhood in New York City. Police viewed the incident as part of an ongoing campaign of anti-Jewish vandalism. In the most serious incident to date, police found the following threat spray-painted in a New York subway:

"The world would be much better off if all the Jews were lampshades."

“I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

“...if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. ... But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

“...And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?" Luke 6:27-41

It appears history does repeat itself:

The Prime Minister of “Palestine” Salam Fayyad burn Jewish products outside Ramallah.

 

Nazi police officer burn Jewish books in 1933 in Berlin.

At the gathering of the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, the world body is scheduled to vote on three Arab resolutions proposed by Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Syria. All three resolutions charged Israel with abuse of local Arab populations and Muslim-claimed territories.

Most prominent was the resolution submitted by Jordan accusing Israel of trying to "change the character of Jerusalem" and blasting the prospect of allowing Jews to pray atop the Temple Mount.

All three Arab entities were surprised when Russia insisted that a vote on the resolutions be postponed for at least six months, and that instead a fact-finding mission be sent to Jerusalem to determine if the Jordanian accusations are accurate.

Sounds good on the surface, until one steps back and ask WHY.???.

"The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." Proverbs 16:3-4

The Obama Administration once again has reiterated its position that Jews must not be allowed to build and live on their ancient biblical heartland for the sake of peace in the region.

Speaking before the UN Security Council, US Ambassador Susan Rice stated that the White House "does not accept the legitimacy of Israeli settlement activity, and will continue to oppose any efforts to legalize [Jewish] outposts."

Though technically the territories of Judea and Samaria are disputed, the US and other Western powers set no such limits on the Arab population's rampant construction.

Rice went on to suggest that the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria, which the world calls "the West Bank," is a detriment to the international community's plan to solve the conflict by birthing a Palestinian Arab state.

Some Israelis [and true believers across the globe] are concerned that an Obama win in the upcoming US presidential election will result in significantly increased pressure on Israel to meet Arab demands.

Hizballah’s Hassan Nasrallah admitted the drone that flew over Israel last week had come from Lebanon, promising it would not be the last.

Whether Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria or Hizballah - all appear to be a player to be reckoned with.  Attacks may explicitly target American interests or stir the pot by going for Israel, Turkey, Jordan, or a Gulf oil nation.

It can no longer be denied that Tehran is already on a cyber offensive against them all.

"...for God has put it into their [the world's unbelieving people, nations and the final "beast" ] hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled." Revelation 17:17

"...in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons...." 1 Timothy 4:1

Fifteen leaders of U.S. churches and other faith-based organizations have asked Congress to reevaluate U.S. military aid to Israel.

"As Christian leaders in the United States, it is our moral responsibility to question the continuation of unconditional U.S. financial assistance to the government of Israel. Realizing a just and lasting peace will require this accountability, as continued U.S. military assistance to Israel — offered without conditions or accountability — will only serve to sustain the status quo and Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian territories,” the letter was signed by leaders of the Lutheran, Methodist, UCC churches, and the National Council of Churches.

The Pope received a royal welcome in Hezb”Allah controlled Lebanon, hailing the leadership of the Islamic rulers.

This weekend, the Pope visited Lebanon. This is what Jerusalem Post has recorded from the Pope’s visit:

"Christianity and Islam have lived together in Lebanon for centuries, he said, sometimes within one family. “If this is possible within the same family, why should it not be possible at the level of the whole of society?"

”Lebanon is called, now more than ever, to be an example,” he said, inviting his audience “to testify with courage, in season and out of season, wherever you find yourselves, that God wants peace, that God entrusts peace to us.”

Lebanon – torn apart by a 1975-1990 sectarian civil war – is a religious mosaic of over four million people whose Muslim majority includes Sunnis, Shi’ites and Alawites. Christians, about one-third of the population, are divided into more than a dozen churches, six of them linked to the Roman Catholic Church.

The Israeli ambassador presented the pope with a gold plated dove with the inscription: “The man of peace is granted the symbol of peace.”

Millions living in Israel will be deceived into accepting the antichrist. Pressured from all sides, the majority of Jews will accept a compromise for the sake of “peace”.

The powers of wickedness are already at work.

"This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ [the promised Messiah -- as revealed in His Word and by His Spirit] as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.." 

2 John 6-7

Baiting Israel to launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, the representative of the Islamic Republic's "supreme leader" to one of its most secretive military forces stated this week that Iran is now just waiting for the right excuse to destroy the Jewish state.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21
