Dividing America Plus Red Heifers in Israel - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/09/25/dividing-america-plus-red-heifers-in-israel-by-daymond-duck/

 

I want to open with a special request: One of Rapture Ready’s well-known prophecy writers (and a great one at that), Geri Ungurean, has health issues that are getting worse (severe osteoporosis, perhaps collapsing spine, much pain). Please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

 

In early Sept. 2022, Pres. Biden characterized MAGA Republicans (Republicans that want to Make America Great Again) as extremists and a threat to the very foundation of our Republic.

 

He said MAGA Republicans embrace anger and thrive on chaos.

 

His divisive speech seems to have stirred up other Democrats.

 

Here is what four more Democrats said (in my words, for the sake of simplicity).

 

• Vice-Pres. Kamala Harris—The U.S. faces a dangerous threat from within, and my oath of office requires me to protect the nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic (in essence, Vice-Pres. Harris called U.S. citizens that want to Make America Great Again “domestic enemies”).
• of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas—In the last 20 years, concerns over foreign threats to America have been replaced by a focus on domestic violent extremists (citizens that have been radicalized by an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, and false narratives).
• Mark Warner of Virginia—It has been 20 years since 9/11/01, and the attack on the symbol of our democracy (the demonstrations at the White House on Jan. 6, 2021) came from insurgents from within, not outside terrorists (in essence, Sen. Warren called U.S. citizens that want to Make America Great Again “insurgents from within”).
• Tim Ryan of Ohio—We’ve (Democrats) got to kill and confront that movement (in essence, Sen. Ryan was saying we have to stop Republicans that want to Make America Great Again).
• It is common knowledge that Biden’s slogan is “Build Back Better” (weaken America, surrender America’s sovereignty to the New World Order; rebuild America as a nation that doesn’t know what a woman is; that thinks men can get pregnant; that thinks there are more than two genders; that kills pre-born babies; that lies about America’s border being secure; that uses the IRS, FBI, and DOJ to enter homes, investigate and falsely prosecute their political enemies; etc.).

 

While claiming that they want to work with Republicans and unite America, some of America’s leaders seem to be stirring up division, knowing that a nation divided against itself cannot stand.

 

American voters may soon have to choose between Making America Great Again or continuing America’s slide into the sewer.

 

Here are some articles that recently made the news.

 

One, concerning the ashes of a red heifer (a young female cow) and rebuilding the Temple: on Sept. 15, 2022, the Temple Institute (a group that has rebuilt many of the Temple artifacts, trained priests to serve at the Temple, is working to rebuild the Temple, etc.) announced that they have 5 perfect 5 to 8-month-old red heifers in their possession that have never worn a yoke and were acquired from a ranch in Texas (plus one more that they already had; a source that I trust told me it was born in Aug. 2018. If true, it is old enough to sacrifice now).

 

• The red heifers are deemed to be perfect. Jesus qualified as a sin sacrifice because He was perfect (Jesus was without blemish and spot; 1 Pet. 1:19).
• Red is the color of sin (“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Our sin is red like scarlet. Jesus bore our sin; Isa. 1:1; 53:6.)
• The red heifers have never worn a yoke. In Israel, yokes were put on work animals (works have nothing to do with purification. We are saved by grace, not by works; Eph. 2:8-9).
• Ashes signify that the sacrifice is finished. (On the cross, Jesus bowed His head and said it is finished: Jn. 19:30.)

 

One rabbi said, “This is history being made, prophecy being fulfilled.”

 

Another rabbi said, “We are entering days of Messiah” (we are entering the age of redemption, getting close to the appearance of the Messiah).

 

According to the report, the red heifers will need to be quarantined for 10 days; after that, they will be released and very carefully raised.

 

Jews made speeches, shouted, danced in the street, and blew shofars.

 

Ten days from Sept. 15, 2022, is Rosh Hashanah (day of trumpets or shouting).

 

At some point, the Church will be raptured at the last trump (I Cor. 15:51-52).

 

Here is a link to a video:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxhZPLEPlTo

 

Perfect red heifers (not more than 2 off-color hairs) are extremely rare, but if just one of these red heifers remains perfect until it reaches the age of 2 years and 1 day (it will be counted as 3 years old on the first day after its second year is complete), it can be sacrificed, burned as a burnt offering, the ashes can be collected and used to make water of purification, the water of purification can be sprinkled on priests, and they can serve at a rebuilt Temple).

 

• The water must be running water (living water; Num. 19:17). (Jesus is living water that purifies and saves (Jn. 4:6-15.)
• A heifer 2 years and 1 day old is in the prime of its life. (Jesus died in the prime of His life.)
• Sprinkling living water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer was God’s requirement for the purification of defiled people. (The death of Jesus on the cross was God’s requirement for the purification of defiled sinners.)
• The red heifer was sacrificed outside the camp (Num. 19:3). Jesus suffered outside the gate (Heb. 13:12.)
• Understand that sprinkling pure water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer on defiled people doesn’t permanently remove sin, but it pictures the coming Messiah Who would permanently remove sin, and it sets the stage for the fulfillment of a major sign (a rebuilt Temple and resumption of the Temple services) that the Rapture and Tribulation Period are close.

 

In Dec. 2021, an outstanding prophecy teacher, William “Bill” Koenig, reported on a group of rabbis and others inspecting red heifers at a ranch in Texas.

 

At that time, I think he said there were 18 red heifers that could possibly qualify, but there was an issue: the red heifer that is sacrificed must be raised in Israel.

 

I don’t know, but I am wondering if only young red heifers (5-8 months old) have been selected because they will qualify as being raised in Israel (more than half their life will be lived in Israel before they reach 2 years and 1 day).

 

Understand these two things: 1) I believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture, and 2) I believe the Temple will be rebuilt early in the Tribulation Period (after the Antichrist confirms the covenant).

 

If I am right, the Church will be caught up before any Jews are qualified to serve at a rebuilt Temple, so if they sacrifice a red heifer in the next year and a half or so, Christians won’t be here much longer.

 

Here are four more comments, and I will move on.

 

• My first comment is that the Jews have a collection of religious writings called the Talmud, and it contains the writings of thousands of Jewish rabbis.
• In the Talmud, one of the Jewish rabbis wrote that there will be a 1,000-year period of rest (a Millennium of rest in the world) after 6,000 years of history (Psa. 90:4; II Pet. 3:8; Heb. 4:4-6; Rev. 20:7).
• The New Testament teaches that Jesus will come back after the Tribulation Period, Satan will be bound and chained, Jesus will sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem, and the world will rest from war, natural disasters, etc., for 1,000 years.

 

Those that believe this way call this 1,000-year period of rest the “Millennium.”

 

But notice that the Jewish rabbi said there will be 6,000 years of history plus 1,000 years of rest, for a total of 7,000 years.

 

In addition to what a Jewish rabbi wrote in the Talmud, at least 3 famous early Christians taught that the world would go through a 7,000-year cycle (6,000 years of history plus a Millennium or 1,000 years of rest).

 

Barnabus, the companion of the Apostle Paul, taught it in his writings called the Epistle of Barnabus (Chapter15). (Note: The Epistle of Barnabus is different from a fake document called the Gospel of Barnabus.)

 

Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp who was a follower of Jesus’ disciple John the Beloved, taught it.

 

Justin Martyr, also a disciple of Polycarp, taught it.

 

To summarize, this teaching that Jesus will come back after 6,000 years of history is: 1) In the Jewish Talmud, 2) It was taught by the Apostle Paul’s companion Barnabus, and 3) It was taught by at least two famous early Christians (Polycarp and Justin Martyr), followers of Jesus’ disciple John.

 

This is the point: Many experts agree that the Israeli and Gregorian calendars are off, and a few agree that it has been almost 6,000 years since the creation of Adam (one opinion is 5,990 years plus or minus a couple of years).

 

It is interesting that Israel could have a perfect red heifer and humanity could be approaching 6,000 years of history at the same point in time.

 

• My second comment is that the conditions for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the tracking of all buying and selling are shaping up at this same point in time.
• My third comment is that religious rabbis know that sprinkling the water of purification upon people is the only way to temporarily remove their defilement from sin, so they want to sacrifice a red heifer as soon as they have one that qualifies, but construction of the Temple with the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount increases the likelihood that some of the prophesied wars will take place soon.
• My fourth comment is that Elijah the prophet will come back before the Tribulation Period (Mal. 4:5).

 

We don’t want to be left behind, but the thought that the miracle-working Elijah that confronted Ahab and the prophets of Baal with drought and fire could soon show up to confront the Antichrist, False Prophet, and others with drought and fire is very exciting (I Kings 18; Rev. 11:5-6).

 

Understand this: The Antichrist cannot stop the animal sacrifices unless the Jews restart them, Jewish priests cannot restart the animal sacrifices unless they are sprinkled with living water containing the ashes of a perfect red heifer, the Jews didn’t have a perfect red heifer for more than 1,900 years, but they have six now.

 

We are the only generation that can say this.

 

Two, concerning Covid-19 vaccinations: on Sept. 15, 2022, it was reported that:

 

Denmark recently announced that people under 18 years of age will no longer be vaccinated.

Denmark will now refuse to vaccinate most people under 50 years of age.

 

As far as Denmark is concerned, healthy people do not need a double jab and biannual boosters.

 

Three, concerning deceit, wickedness, etc.: on Sept. 17, 2022, it was reported that highly renowned Dr. Pierre Kory is saying that science that goes against the financial interests of Big Pharma, Bill Gates, and other philanthropists is dead.

 

According to Kory, millions of lives could have been saved by treating Covid-19 with Ivermectin and other potentially effective existing treatments, but multitudes were allowed to die because using Ivermectin and other treatments would have had a negative financial impact on Big Pharma, Gates, and others.

 

Kory also believes that people can no longer trust what appears in famous medical journals because many of those Journals have abandoned their main responsibility (reporting true science) and started reporting propaganda that Big Pharma and others want reported because it benefits them financially.

 

They have been putting profits above science, truth, and the lives of people.

 

(More: On Sept. 12, 2022, the Director of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a letter acknowledging that the CDC gave false information about its Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring.)

 

(More: On Sept. 17, 2022, it was reported that the death of children ages 5-9 that have been vaccinated for Covid-19 in the UK is 22% higher than the previous two years when children were not vaccinated. So, the UK has now stopped offering vaccinations for healthy children.)

 

Four, concerning owning nothing during the New World Order (world government): on Sept. 19, 2022, it was reported that homeless camps are growing larger in some U.S. cities, and the situation is expected to worsen.

 

Some of the new homeless people have jobs, but their wages aren’t keeping up with higher prices, especially higher rent, and utility prices.

 

Five, concerning the coming hyper-inflation and economic collapse: on Sept. 19, 2022, it was reported that several large companies (Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, and Under Armor) have canceled orders amounting to billions of dollars because they believe inflation is going to keep increasing.

 

(More: According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, interest rates and unemployment must soon be increased substantially if inflation is going to be brought under control. I am not an expert, but I will add that it is my opinion that Biden and the Democrats also need to bring their spending under control.)

 

(More: We keep giving billions of dollars and equipment to Ukraine and millions of dollars in benefits to illegal aliens, but the Pentagon has told our troops to sign up for food stamps.)

 

(More: For what it is worth, I heard one commentator say the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve will be empty around the end of this year. If that is true, the safety of America has been compromised, and the price of gasoline will start increasing again.)

 

Six, concerning a 7-year covenant of peace and safety, the division of Israel, and the Battle of Armageddon: on Sept. 15, 2022, the Biden administration affirmed its commitment to the Two-State Solution and the creation of a Palestinian state next to (and on part of) Israel “so that Israelis and Palestinians can live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, security and prosperity.”

 

The U.S. signed a 7-year bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Jordan on Sept. 16, 2022.

 

Under the agreement, starting in Fiscal Year 2023, Biden will give Jordan $1.45 billion per year (But U.S. troops need to sign up for food stamps) for 7 years.

 

This is not the 7-year covenant with many mentioned in the Book of Daniel (Dan. 9:27), but it is moving in that direction and could very well bring the judgment of God down on the U.S. (Joel 3:2).

 

For whatever it is worth, I have read other articles that say Saudi Arabia wants to merge Jordan, Gaza, and part of the West Bank into one nation called The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine (HKOP).

 

Under this plan, the capital would be Amman, not Jerusalem, and Gaza would be ruled by the respected government of Jordan, not Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, etc.

 

I cannot predict how this will come out, but I can say with certainty that the Antichrist will eventually confirm a worthless 7-year covenant.

 

Seven, on Sept. 21, 2022, Russia announced the call-up of 300,000 troops for the war in Ukraine.

 

This may not have anything to do with Israel, but eventually, a massive Russian military will die on the mountains of Israel.

 

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

 

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Palestinian State Issue Now at Center of Israel's Upcoming Elections – Alex Traiman - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5613 With just 29 words, from the stage at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, temporary caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid may have completely changed Israel's fifth election landscape from the first four election cycles over the past two-and-a-half years. From the podium of one of the world's largest international diplomatic forums, Lapid stated, "An agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel's security, for Israel's economy and for the future of our children." To understand the impact of this statement on the Israeli political landscape, it is important to review how Lapid, who has never--yet--come even close to winning an Israeli election as a candidate for prime minister, came to be the one representing Israel on the world stage to begin with. Israel is soon set to go to its fifth election cycle in less than three years. The first four inconclusive elections all focused on one issue and one issue alone: whether then-reigning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was fit to continue serving as Israel's premier, amidst a slew of corruption charges that likely would not hold weight in American or other Western courtrooms. Challengers--including Lapid--argued time and again during the successive campaigns that on major diplomatic and security policy issues, there was virtually no difference from left to right. Lapid finally succeeded after the fourth campaign to remove Netanyahu from office, despite a landslide 13-seat victory by Netanyahu's Likud party in the election. Lapid blocked Netanyahu from forming a government by essentially bribing Naftali Bennett with the chair of prime minister, despite Bennett receiving barely 5% of the popular vote, in exchange for Bennett's defection from his own voter base and the larger right-wing political camp; Bennett also turned back on his repeated campaign promises never to sit with Lapid in a coalition. Lapid was able to offer the prime minister's post to his parliamentary colleague Bennett, because he (Lapid) could not come close to forming a majority coalition government with himself at the helm. Bennett took the bait to achieve his personal ambition and became prime minister in a rotation arrangement with Lapid. The coalition they formed included every single left-wing member of parliament; an Islamist, self-proclaimed anti-Zionist party that is an official chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood; and a handful of right-wing defectors that insisted that Netanyahu's continued rule was a greater threat to Israel's stability than bringing the left-wing and Islamists into key government ministries, including Foreign Affairs, Defense, Energy, Health, Environment and Transportation. The coalition members all agreed on one thing: Regardless of their divergent ideologies, the issue of Palestinian statehood would not be raised. Yet despite the coalition agreement, and despite the supposed right-winger Bennett at the helm, it soon became clear that Lapid and his partners were laying the groundwork for a future return to a two-state paradigm. Defense Minister Benny Gantz--a former party colleague of Lapid's--and other left-wing ministers including far-left Meretz party members Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, Environment Minister Tamar Zandberg and Regional Cooperation Minister Issawi Frej, all met with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, breaking a nearly 10-year boycott by Israeli government ministers, led by Netanyahu. Gantz even went so far as to host Abbas at his home in Rosh HaAyin, the first time Abbas had traveled for a diplomatic visit inside undisputed Israeli territory in more than a decade. Gantz argued repeatedly that the meetings had to do only with essential security cooperation between Israel and the P.A. Barely a year after it was formed, the Bennett-led government crashed--as many predicted it would. According to the convoluted coalition agreement, the dissolution of the parliament and Bennett's subsequent resignation immediately triggered the installation of Lapid as the "caretaker" prime minister until a new government is formed. Lapid has held his temporary post for barely three months. New elections are slated for Nov. 1. Lapid has embraced every moment of his brief stint as prime minister. He has effectively utilized the caretaker post as the base of operations for his election campaign, seeking to demonstrate to the Israeli public that he is capable of holding the top slot, despite having no security background and little success in brief stints as finance minister or foreign minister. As caretaker prime minister, Lapid traveled in July to Jordan to meet with King Abdullah II, (who he also met this week on the sidelines of the UNGA). He traveled to France to meet President Emmanuel Macron. He went to Germany to meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz. He hosted U.S. President Joe Biden in Jerusalem. Lapid also launched a three-day military campaign against Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and ongoing anti-terror campaigns in Judea and Samaria. On the sidelines of the UNGA, Lapid met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, newly minted British Prime Minister Liz Truss, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and others. All the while, Lapid has been insisting to the public in Israel that Netanyahu--in his 12 years as prime minister--had harmed Israeli relations with the Democratic party, with Western Europe and with America's large Jewish Diaspora community. For Lapid, and his intended voters, Netanyahu was the only campaign issue. Yet, following Lapid's speech at the U.N., a clear difference between Israel's left-wing and right-wing camps has re-emerged. And it has the strong potential to become the defining issue of Israel's fifth election cycle. By officially acknowledging his belief that "an agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel's security, for Israel's economy and for the future of our children," Lapid has changed the election paradigm from "anybody but Netanyahu" with Lapid as the hopeful anybody, back to the issue that has defined the difference between left and right since former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signed the infamous Oslo Accords in 1993. The Oslo Accords partitioned the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria into distinct, yet non-contiguous areas of Israeli and Palestinian control, and were meant to lay the groundwork for a formal two-state agreement based on a land for peace paradigm. Yet, during the 29 years since the accords signing, Israel has learned the hard way that it can never count on receiving peace in return for land. The P.A. has rejected formal offers by former prime ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert to establish a state and well over 90% of the territories in dispute. An Israeli withdrawal from all of Gaza led to a Hamas takeover, and the firing of more than 20,000 rockets at Israeli territory. And the P.A. continues to incite against Israel. It spends large portions of its annual budget paying stipends directly to terrorists in Israeli prisons, as well as to the families of would-be terrorists that were killed in the act of attempting first-degree murder, in a terror-financing scheme dubbed "pay for slay." over the past year, Israel has absorbed a noticeable increase in terror attacks. In addition, the P.A. and its dangerous network of non-governmental organizations lead an international delegitimization campaign against Israel that manifests itself in Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions efforts around the world. Israel's right-wing politicians, who are by and large more traditional and religiously observant, understand that an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, often termed the West Bank, will never lead to peace. Rather, it will lead to the creation of a hostile anti-Israel state in the Jewish nation's Biblical heartland, that looks more like Syria than Bahrain. Israel's left-wing politicians, who are by and large secular and progressive, want a divorce from the Palestinians at any cost, in the hopes that ceding territory and creating a Palestinian state will somehow protect Israeli democracy and end dangerous and false Western claims (authored by the P.A.) that Israel is some kind of apartheid state. Until now, Lapid, who espouses both left-wing and progressive views, has positioned himself as a "centrist" with the help of Israel's predominantly left-wing media. Yet Lapid's speech clearly identifies him as the leader of Israel's left-wing, and demonstrates where he and his governing coalition will lead Israel if he is elected permanent prime minister. Lapid stated in his address that, "despite all the obstacles, still today a large majority of Israelis support the vision of this two-state solution. I am one of them." Yet a poll broadcast immediately after the address on Israel's left-leaning Channel 12 news program reported that only 28 percent of Israelis actually favor creating a Palestinian state. Chairwoman of the far left-wing Meretz party Zahava Gal-On called Lapid's address a "historic speech," adding in a tweet that, "Finally, the vision of peace is on the agenda. Meretz will stand to Lapid's left to turn his vision into a reality. To put an end to the cycle of bloodshed, to end control over millions of Palestinians." Meanwhile, members of Israel's right-wing have railed at Lapid's controversial remarks. In a lengthy statement immediately following the address, Netanyahu said, "After the right-wing government led by me removed the Palestinian state from the global agenda, after we brought four historic peace agreements with Arab countries that bypassed the Palestinian veto, Lapid is bringing the Palestinians back to the forefront of the world stage and putting Israel right into the Palestinian pit. Lapid has already said in the past that he is ready to 'evacuate 90,000 Israelis to establish a Palestinian state.' Now he intends to give them a state of terror in the heart of the country, a state that will threaten us all." Right-wing Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, a former ally of Bennett told Channel 13 that, "most Israelis oppose a Palestinian state." She harshly criticized Lapid's speech, insisting that the very coalition agreement which has ultimately led to Lapid's caretaker reign specifically calls for the issue of Palestinian statehood to be tabled. Among many other issues that truly do separate Israel's left and right, the most serious and existential issue dividing Israel's political camps over the past three decades has now returned to forefront. It may turn into a critical error for Lapid in his slim hopes of defeating Israel's majority of right-wing voters. Whether or not Lapid pulls off an election upset, or Netanyahu re-emerges as prime minister, the primary issue facing Israelis during the current election is now one of substance, not simply personality. All Of A Sudden, There Is A Huge New Push To Establish A Palestinian State - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/all-of-a-sudden-there-is-a-huge-new-push-to-establish-a-palestinian-state/     “The United States is committed to Israel’s security – full stop. And a negotiated two state solution remains our best way to ensure Israel’s security and prosperity for the future and give the Palestinians the state to which they are entitled,” he said.   Of course this isn’t the first time that Biden has said something like this.   Back in July, he made similar comments during a visit to the West Bank…   President Joe Biden reaffirmed his support for a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians during a visit to the West Bank on Friday where he sat down with Palestinian leaders frustrated over lingering Trump-era policies.   “The Palestinian people, as well as Israeli people, deserve a state of their own that is independent, sovereign, viable and contiguous,” he told reporters following a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. “Two states for two people, both of whom have deep and ancient roots in this land, living side by side in peace and security, both states fully respecting the equal rights of the other citizens.”   The Biden administration is 100 percent committed to the creation of a Palestinian state, and that has been exceedingly clear for a long time.   But up until just recently, Israel did not have a prime minister that was on board with such a move.   Unfortunately, Yair Lapid is in charge now, and on Thursday he also called for the creation of a Palestinian state in front of the UN General Assembly…   The future Palestinian state that will exist next to Israel must be peaceful and not terror-based, Prime Minister Yair Lapid told the UN General Assembly on Thursday afternoon, just before returning to Israel.   If that condition is met, then the best path forward is “an agreement with the Palestinians based on two states for two peoples,” Lapid said.   This “is the right thing for Israel’s security, for Israel’s economy and for the future of our children.”   Wow.   We always suspected that this is how Lapid felt, and now he is being very open about it.   During his speech, Lapid actually claimed that “a large majority” of the Israeli population agrees with him…   “Despite all the obstacles, still today a large majority of Israelis support the vision of this two-state solution. I am one of them,” he said.   “Put down your weapons and prove that Hamas and Islamic Jihad is not going to take over the Palestinian state you want to create… and there will be peace,” Lapid said.   Could that be true?   I haven’t seen any public opinion polls on the matter lately.   But if most Israelis do want a Palestinian state at this point, that is a very troubling sign.   It has always been assumed that a Palestinian state would be the product of long negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but now it is being suggested that Israel could ultimately decide to make a move unilaterally.   In other words, one day Israel could just declare that the Palestinians now have a state in areas under their control.   According to the Jerusalem Post, a source inside the Israeli government is saying that “we will act on our own” if they feel that is the best option…   “If it is necessary,” and “this is agreed upon with the Americans, we will act on our own,” the source said. “We do not have to update anyone, and we do not need to ask permission from anyone.”   Wow.   Thankfully, I don’t think that Lapid’s government will do anything major before the upcoming election in Israel.   And it has become clear that this election will essentially be a referendum on a Palestinian state.   If Yair Lapid wins the election, things could start to move very rapidly.   Let us hope that does not happen, because as I detailed in Lost Prophecies, the consequences of establishing a Palestinian state would be cataclysmic.   We must not be involved in dividing the land of Israel, but that is precisely what the Biden administration intends to do.   Biden and his minions are just going to keep pushing this issue, and if Lapid is able to win the election they will be absolutely thrilled.   The election is scheduled for November 1st, and so it is just over a month away.   It literally could be an election that changes the course of history, and so let us hope that Lapid does not win. ‘Weakness, Defeat and Surrender’: Israeli Interim Prime Minister Advocates For Dividing Israel In Speech To The United Nations – HD Staff - https://harbingersdaily.com/weakness-defeat-and-surrender-israeli-interim-prime-minister-advocates-for-dividing-israel-in-speech-to-the-united-nations/   In a speech that was an affront to both God and country, interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid told the United Nations that he endorses the idea of dividing the land of Israel via a two-state solution.   “An agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel’s security, for Israel’s economy, and for the future of our children,” the PM told the nations at the General Assembly on Thursday. “Despite all the obstacles, still today a large majority of Israelis support the vision of this two-state solution. I am one of them.”   According to Lapid, Israelis “have only one condition” to a splitting of Israel: “That a future Palestinian state will be a peaceful one.”   Former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, rebuked Lapid’s dangerous promotion of a two-state solution at the UN.   “For years we have worked hard to remove from the agenda the dangerous idea of a Palestinian state at the heart of the State of Israel. And we succeeded. We brought peace with Arab countries regardless of the Palestinian issue,” Dannon explained, adding that, “Lapid in one speech… may set us back a decade.”   Danon further insisted that Lapid is more concerned about his political positioning in the upcoming election than the well-being of the State of Israel.   Amir Tsarfati, the Founder and President of Behold Israel, a Christian Ministry based in Galilee, similarly made clear the political motivations behind that statement at the General Assembly.   “Regarding Lapid in the UN, it’s just an elections stunt. He isn’t the first prime minister to offer the two-state solution and won’t be the last to lose elections because of it. He has zero support from the people and is only serving as interim prime minister until our November 1st elections,” Tsarfati wrote on Telegram. “Lapid won’t divide any land because he has zero public support and no partner on the other side to even deal with. These are all empty words to appease the hypocrite western world. The Arabs are making peace with us regardless as you can see…”   Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who currently serves as leader of the opposition, in his response to the UN speech, underscored that Lapid has recklessly endangered Israel.   “Tonight we heard a speech full of weakness, defeat and surrender,” Netanyahu wrote. “After the right-wing government led by me removed the Palestinian state from the global agenda, after we brought four historic peace agreements with Arab countries that bypassed the Palestinian veto, Lapid is bringing the Palestinians back to the forefront of the world stage and putting Israel right into the Palestinian pit. Lapid has already said in the past that he is ready to ‘evacuate 90,000 Israelis to establish a Palestinian state.’ Now he intends to give them a state of terror in the heart of the country, a state that will threaten us all.”   “So I’m letting you know, Lapid: I and my friends will not allow this,” Netanyahu asserted. “We will not return Israel to the Oslo disaster. Lapid endangers our future and our existence both on the Palestinian issue and on the Iranian issue.”   Meanwhile, as Israeli left-wing politicians saluted Lapid’s “historic speech,” Wasel Abu Youssef who is a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) said in an interview that the PM’s words “mean nothing.”   Without skipping a beat, US President Joe Biden praised Lapid, saying that he “could not agree more” with the interim PM’s “courageous statement” to the UN.   Biden in his UN speech the previous day also took the opportunity to advocate for Israel’s division, insisting that the Palestinians “are entitled” to a piece of the land.   “The United States is committed to Israel’s security. Full stop. A negotiated two-state solution remains in our view the best way to ensure Israel’s security and prosperity… and give the Palestinians a state to which they are entitled.”   Pastor Barry Stagner in this week’s episode of “The Line Up – World Events in Bible Prophecy” responded to Biden’s assertion that the Palestinians are “entitled” to a state.   “Remember, the so-called Palestinians are actually Syrian Arabs and they have been removed from other countries where they have migrated to. They don’t predate the Jews. Israel’s had a presence in that land for 3,500 years and those who would argue that point are simply ignorant of the facts,” Stagner stressed.   “That is the land that God gave [Israel] all the way back in Genesis 17-18. The descendants of Abraham, Isaac, through Jacob have been given this land by Everlasting Covenant with the God who created this Earth, there is no [Palestinian] right to the land,” he explained. “It is not their entitled right as the Palestinian people to have a state in the land of Israel that God gave to them but these will be the efforts in the last days.”   “Remember,” Pastor Stagner noted, “Amos said the Jews will not be uprooted once they are back in the land: [‘I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.’ – Amos 9:15]. So, it is not going to happen but it’s still the idea that the world likes to promote.”   The Bible sends a stark and prophetic warning against nations that seek to divide the nation of Israel and, specifically, its capital Jerusalem.   Zechariah 12:3 states: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”   A two-state solution advocates for the dividing of Jerusalem, with the east portion of the city being given to the Palestinians for their state capital.   Michele Bachmann, in an interview earlier this year with Tony Perkins, cautioned that a two-state solution would not only endanger Israel but also defy God’s warnings.   “The Biden administration is seeking to divide Jerusalem so that eastern Jerusalem would become the new capital for the new Palestinian State,” she said. “They’re looking at statehood.”   “There is a direct link, as the Bible says, between nations that bless Israel and nations that don’t,” she described. “In fact, the Bible is very clear in Joel 3:2 that there is only one criteria upon which nations will be judged, and that is how nations treat Zion, Israel.”   “If nations seek to divide the land or scatter the Jewish people from their land or treat Jewish life cheaply, nations will be held accountable for that by the Lord. And this is God’s law,” Bachmann asserted. Daily Jot: Bipartisan effort to censor free speech? – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com   The insidious informal relationship between big tech companies and corporate media that has resulted in information control and censorship will become formalized with a bill working its way through the Senate, falsely named the “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA).” The Democrat initiated bill would create a national news cartel that, in collaboration with big tech like Facebook, Google and Twitter, can control the vast majority of information flow to society. In short, it would attempt to codify into law what has played out in real-time with the current censorship of dissenting opinion on corporate media news coverage. This is an egregious attack on First Amendment free speech.   S. 673’s purpose is: “To provide a temporary safe harbor for publishers of online content to collectively negotiate with dominant online platforms regarding the terms on which content may be distributed.” It is allowing the marriage of big media and big tech to control information to the public. If Republicans held the line, the bill would have died in committee, but thanks to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and a back room deal with extreme leftist Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), the bill is likely to pass the Judiciary Committee. Cruz agreed to allow the media cartel to negotiate price with big tech, AND to not prohibit censorship and information control. And there are other Republicans cosponsoring this terrible bill—John Kennedy (R-LA), Rand Paul (R-KY), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and John Thune (R-SD).   The bill excludes journalists and news organizations that do not have “a dedicated professional editorial staff that creates and distributes original news and related content concerning local, national, or international matters of public interest on at least a weekly basis.” This means that small independent journalists would be shut out of the information flow. Censorship of dissent surrounding COVID “science” and vaccine “safety and efficacy” is one example of how this bill codifies information control. Other examples include the Russian Hoax and Ukrainian reporting that resulted in President Trump’s impeachments; the Chinese enrichment connection with the Bidens; the investigation and reporting of the January 6 Capitol Hill protests; and the list goes on and on.   You can see the politicians want to legalize big corporate conglomerates to control information, and ultimately control what you think and believe. Anything else, especially dissent against their leftist ideals, is misinformation. Recently, the 5th US Circuity Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a Texas law that essentially does the opposite of S 673. The court ruled “We reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say.” The battlelines are being drawn and even some “conservatives” are on the wrong side of the Constitution. Christ said in John 8:31-32 to continue in his word, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Freedom is found in and maintained by truth. These politicians want to suppress truth, so they can oppress you.   Daily Devotion: Where Change Begins - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org   During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God. —Acts 1:3   https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/where-change-begins/ - Listen   Have you ever seen something so incredible that you couldn’t believe your eyes? That’s how the disciples felt when they saw Jesus after His resurrection. They thought they would never see or talk to Him again. But He was alive, and He appeared to them, still carrying on His body the marks of His crucifixion. He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, outside the tomb. After that, He appeared to Simon Peter. Then He appeared to Thomas, who, up to that point, had been doubtful that Jesus was alive.   Jesus also appeared to two disciples walking on the road to Emmaus. Then He appeared again to Simon Peter by the Sea of Galilee. On another occasion, He appeared to 500 people at one time. For 40 days, Jesus was showing up here and there. He would turn up with words of encouragement for the disciples.   John wrote, “We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life” (1 John 1:1 NLT).   Before the disciples could change the world, Jesus needed to change them. The same is true for us. Before we can change the world, Jesus must change us.   If you want someone to follow Jesus, you must be a follower of Jesus yourself so you can show him or her what a living, breathing Christian looks like. Would you take voice lessons from someone who sings off key, or would you hire a fitness trainer who’s out of shape?   A Christian is a walking epistle written by God and read by people. The apostle Paul wrote, “Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example” (Philippians 3:17 NLT).   As I’ve often said, you’re the only Bible that some people will ever read. Be a good example.
