Mid-East Prophecy Update - Pr. J. D. Farag

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do 1 Chronicles 12:32a 11

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.2 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-13

State of the Union 2015 - Analysis by Joel Rosenberg

America is in grave danger, and Christian leaders & lay people must speak out. When a nation murders 57 million babies & ignores gathering storm of Radical Islam, the state of the union is not “strong.” Analysis.

>> I will speak tonight at 7pm PST at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa on “The State of the Union: The Future of America and the Middle East.” Please click here to watch live webcast this evening.

(Costa Mesa, California) – “America, for all that we have endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.” So began President Obama on Tuesday night in his 2015 State of the Union address to the nation and to a Joint Session of Congress. He was not the first American President to declare the state of the union “strong.” But with all due respect, the President is wrong. When a nation murders 57 million innocent babies, the state of the union is not strong.

Exclusive: Craige McMillan examines consequences of human genome deterioration

Published: 2 days ago

Craige McMillan Dr. John Sanford, a retired plant geneticist who turned his attention to human genetics after retirement, has said the human genome is deteriorating at one or two percent per generation. The real question is, how many more generational cycles before collapse?

Certainly baby boomers are not getting any smarter. I learn technical stuff, but only because I have to. A tech-savvy society demands tech-savvy employees to pull the levers, stoke the knowledge burners and ring the caution bells when the high-tech pressure cooker over-inflates and takes off in whatever direction it was already going.

Maybe that is part of the problem. Is being tech-savvy the same as being educated? Do we actually educate anyone anymore? While there are a lot of definitions of stupidity, most of them indicate that the exercise of stupidity leads to a poor outcome – both for ourselves and others.

Well, how might we apply that to history? We might decide that becoming a dictatorship instead of a republic is bad for personal freedom. But then we would have to know what a dictatorship looks like, and how it takes hold. If we don’t have that information, we are forced to rely on the truthfulness of Hollywood in telling the story over two hours in a movie theater, or a few half-hour segments on TV. If you are good with those options … well I’m sorry, but you’re tottering toward stupidity.

History is the big backdrop in the theater of our lives that each of us struts back and forth upon during our brief stay here. The backdrop sets the mood and tone, we add the events of our time. The fabric that we weave becomes the future.
This big backdrop allows us to see patterns in current events that look the same as those we see in the backdrop. Certain events, repeated over, lead to disease, starvation and death. Other events lead to vibrancy and life. Spotting these early on can make all our lives better – or much, much worse.
Not spotting these patterns for what they are leaves us not at the mercy of random events, but at the mercy of others who do see the patterns and are using them to drive us down a road we would not otherwise willingly travel.

God tells us that the last road humanity takes will lead to a place so terrible that our extraction will require divine intervention, “or no flesh will survive.” The world leader we find at the end of that long road is not going to be our friend. The tapestry of history makes this quite clear. But it does require “eyes to see.” Do you have them?

Open Letter to the French President

Reblogged from http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5050/letter-president-france

by A Palestinian Journalist in Ramallah 

January 14, 2015 at 5:00 am

Your Excellency, many Palestinians nearly fell off their chairs upon seeing their president march at the front row of a rally in your capital to protest against terrorism and assaults on freedom of the media.

Undoubtedly, you are unaware of the fact that President Abbas is personally responsible for punishing Palestinian journalists who dare to criticize him or express their views in public. Every day we see that the Western media, including French newspapers and magazines, does not care about such violations unless they are committed by Israel.
Your Excellency, you are completely mistaken if you believe that Abbas and his Palestinian Authority are tolerant toward satire or any form of criticism. While he was attending the rally, a human rights group published a report accusing the Palestinian Authority of "waging war" against university students in the West Bank.
President Abbas has managed once again to deceive you and the rest of the international community. He now has managed to create the false impression that he cares about freedom of speech and independent journalism
Palestinians like me will now pay a heaver price because Abbas has been emboldened and will now step up his assaults. France will be helping to establish another corrupt and repressive Arab dictatorship -- one that glorifies and rewards terrorists no different from those who carried out the Paris attacks.
I hope now your Excellency understands why I am too scared to reveal my identity.

His Excellency, François Hollande
Dear Mr. President,

First, I wish to express my deep condolences over the killing of innocent citizens in the recent terror attacks in Paris.

Second, I want to apologize to Your Excellency for not revealing my true identity. After you read my letter, you will realize why people like me are afraid to reveal their real identity.
I decided to write to you this letter after hearing my president, Mahmoud Abbas, declare that you had invited him to attend the anti-terror rally in Paris earlier this week.

Like many Palestinians, I see President Abbas's participation in a rally against terrorism and assaults on freedom of speech as an act of hypocrisy -- a condition that is not alien to Palestinian Authority leaders.

In fact, many Palestinians nearly fell off their chairs upon seeing their president march in the front row of a rally in your capital, in protest against terrorism and assaults on freedom of the media.

President Abbas's participation in the rally is an insult to the victims of the terror attacks. It is also an insult to Western values, including freedom of expression and democracy.
Your Excellency, myself and other journalists living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank were the first to be offended by the invitation you extended to President Abbas to attend the anti-terror rally.

Undoubtedly, you are unaware of the fact that Abbas is personally responsible for punishing Palestinian journalists who dare to criticize him or express their views in public. Of course, Your Excellency, we cannot blame you for being unaware of this assault on public freedoms because the mainstream media, including French newspapers and magazines, deliberately turn a blind eye to these practices. Every day we see that the Western media does not care about such violations unless they are committed by Israel.

That is why, Your Excellency, you are probably unaware of the cases of several Palestinian journalists who have been arrested and intimidated by President Abbas's security forces over the past few years. Yes, this is the same Abbas who came to Paris to express his condolences over the brutal killing of the Charlie Hebdo journalists.

The most recent example of Abbas's crackdown on Palestinian journalists occurred shortly before Your Excellency phoned President Abbas to invite him to Paris. The case involves my female colleague, Majdolin Hassouneh, who was detained for "extending her tongue," or insulting, President Abbas.

Your Excellency, please allow me to tell you that you are completely mistaken if you ever thought that President Abbas and his Palestinian Authority are tolerant toward satire or any form of criticism. And of course, you haven't heard of the Palestinian Authority's decision to cancel the only popular satirical show on Palestine TV, Watan ala Watar (Country on a String).

The show was forced off the air in 2011 because President Abbas believed it had "crossed a line" by mocking his top officials in Ramallah. This is the same Abbas who came to Paris to protest the massacre at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

And, Your Excellency, if you want further evidence of President Abbas's clampdown on political satire, you can ask Palestinian comedians Abdel Rahman Daher and Mahmoud Rizek. The two men are currently in Jordan because they are afraid to return to the West Bank. No, Your Excellency, they are not afraid to return home because of Israel. They are afraid of being arrested by President Abbas's security forces, which accuse the two men of insulting their leader.

President Abbas, Your Excellency, should be the last person to walk in a march honoring journalists who were massacred because of their satirical work. His participation in the Paris rally is not only in an insult to the memory of the slain journalists, but to all those who believe in freedom of expression and media.

I also want to bring to the attention of Your Excellency that while President Mahmoud Abbas was attending the rally in Paris, a human rights group published a report accusing the Palestinian Authority of "waging war" against university students in the West Bank. According to the report, 24 students have been arrested in recent weeks by Abbas's security forces for "political reasons."

Again, I'm sure Your Excellency did not hear about the crackdown on university campuses because Western media outlets and foreign journalists based here do not report about such stories. You read and hear about such incidents only when the Israeli army or police are involved.

I do not want to take much of your time, Your Excellency, by telling you about President Abbas's double standards and hypocrisy on the subject of terrorism. You can learn a lot about this by going on the Internet and seeing, with your own eyes, how our president often condones and glorifies terrorism and terrorists.

You will even discover that our president, who will soon celebrate his 80^th birthday, is prepared to stay awake all night to welcome Palestinians released from Israeli prison for murdering Jews and committing terror attacks no less serious than the ones your country experienced last week.
You will also discover, Your Excellency, that our president also rewards terrorists by granting them monthly salaries and other privileges.
What would be your reaction, Your Excellency, if someone decided to reward financially the families of the terrorists who massacred the innocent civilians in Paris?

Your Excellency, perhaps it is now too late to talk about the decision to invite President Abbas to the anti-terror rally. The damage has already been done, as far as I and many Palestinians are concerned. The way we see it is as follows: President Abbas has once again managed to deceive you and the rest of the international community by placing himself on the side of the good guys in their fight against terrorism and extremism. Even worse, President Abbas has managed to create the false impression that he cares about freedom of speech and independent journalism.

Undoubtedly, now Palestinians like me will now pay a heavier price because President Abbas has been emboldened by his participation in the Paris rally. President Abbas will now step up his assaults on public freedoms because he knows that the international community will only see photos of him marching together with Your Excellency and other world leaders in defense of freedom of expression.

By extending the invitation to President Abbas, you have caused damage to Palestinians like me who have been hoping that someone -- maybe even a leader like you -- would finally expose the dictatorship of the Palestinian Authority for what it is. President Abbas's participation in the Paris rally is a severe blow to people like me who are genuinely opposed to terrorism and suppression of free speech.

Your Excellency, now that the damage has already been done, all that is left for people like me is to beg you to take all what I have said into account in your future dealings with President Abbas. Please do not hesitate to raise these issues with President Abbas the next time he requests your support for the creation of an independent Palestinian state. Otherwise, France will be helping to establish another corrupt and repressive Arab dictatorship -- one that glorifies and rewards terrorists no different from those who carried out the Paris attacks.

Finally, Your Excellency, I hope that by now you understand the reason why I am too scared to reveal my identity.
Sincerely,
A Palestinian Journalist with No Name or Voice

L’interview vérité de Samuel Foucart : «La manifestation pour Charlie ? Une réminiscence de l’esprit de Babel !»

Reblogged from https://actualitechretienne.wordpress.com    

Par Rédaction le 12 janvier 2015 • ( 24 )

Le pasteur Samuel Foucart a accepté de répondre, avec son franc parler habituel, à une interview du journaliste Paul Ohlott sur Actu-Chretienne.Net, à propos du drame sanguinaire qui vient de secouer la France.

 

Paul OHLOTT : Vous n’avez pas encore pris position à propos des événements récents qui ont marqué la France. Pourtant,votre travail de chroniqueur et votre liberté de ton vous en donnait le droit…  Pourquoi ce silence ?

Samuel FOUCART : Pour être franc, ces derniers mois, j’avais convenu de m’en tenir à mon devoir de réserve à cause de certaines «pressions amicales» et aussi à cause d’une charge de travail plus importante.

P.O. : C’est une bonne chose que vous acceptiez finalement de sortir de ce silence… en ces jours où nous parlons de liberté d’expression ! Pour autant, êtes-vous de ceux qui se revendiquent de Charlie ?

S.F. : Ah non certainement pas ! Et c’est hors de question que j’apporte un quelconque soutien à ce mouvement spontané qui me met très mal à l’aise. Je ne suis pas Charlie et je l’assume ! Aux yeux de certains, ne pas être Charlie, c’est assimilable à un crime contre la démocratie, contre la tolérance, voire même contre la paix… Autrement dit, c’est être un facho ou un «salaud» ! Je ne suis rien de tout ceci, mais je ne me reconnais pas dans ce genre de manifestation.

« Franchement ? Je n’en ai rien à faire de ce journal »

P.O. : Il est évident que vous n’êtes pas un «salaud»… et j’imagine que vous condamnez sans réserve l’acte commis contre les journalistes de Charlie Hebdo ?

S.F. : Bien évidemment ! C’est un acte absolument ignoble. Mais une fois de plus, on a le sentiment que l’on n’est pas tous égaux face à la mort. En effet, outre ces journalistes (d’un genre très particulier), des policiers sont morts, ainsi que des civils dont les noms ont été ignorés par les médias. Comble du comble, l’idée de corporatisme a été condamnée par certains médias, qui en avait fait preuve quelques heures auparavant. Mais plus encore, ce même mercredi 7 janvier, 2000 personnes ont été assassinées au Nigéria par des terroristes de Boko Haram, animés du même état d’esprit que  les frères Kouachi. Cette information a été complètement occultée par nos chaînes de télévision et je félicite Actu-Chretienne.Net d’en avoir parlé pour dénoncer l’hypocrisie occidentale et nos émotions à géométrie variable. Je suis très gêné que des millions de Français, dont de nombreux chrétiens, manifestent pour quelques caricaturistes très controversés, mais ne manifestent pas pour dénoncer la christianophobie qui sévit dans l’ensemble des pays islamiques. 12 morts au siège de Charlie Hebdo, c’est grave, c’est condamnable, c’est inquiétant… mais certainement pas plus que 2000 morts au Nigéria. Par ailleurs, je dénonce aussi la rétention d’information par nos chers médias, sur ces scènes de liesse, particulièrement choquantes, dans les pays arabes…

P.O. : Que pensez-vous du journal Charlie Hebdo ?

S.F. : Franchement ? Je n’en ai rien à faire de ce journal, que par ailleurs et pour des raisons personnelles, je connais très bien. C’est un journal satirique, qui aime provoquer toutes les institutions. A mes yeux, que Charlie Hebdo symbolise la liberté de la presse et soit à l’origine de manifestations visant à défendre la liberté républicaine, c’est le paroxysme du paradoxe. Beaucoup de pasteurs et de chrétiens ayant rejoint la foule pour exhiber fièrement le slogan «Je suis Charlie», ont sans doute oublié comment ce journal satirique traitait les chrétiens quand il n’avait pas encore les musulmans à se mettre sous la plume…

« Cette manifestation est le résultat d’une manipulation émotionnelle très réussie »

P.O. : Les journalistes de Charlie Hebdo sont-ils des martyrs ?

S.F. : Certainement pas ! Et je rejoins, à ce sujet, l’excellent article de David Vincent. Ils sont des victimes – parmi d’autres -, du fanatisme véhiculé par un Islam radical. A ce propos, je m’interroge… existe-t-il un Islam fondamentalement modéré ? J’attends qu’on me le prouve… Et de voir Mahmoud Abbas, dont le parlement a adoubé en décembre dernier la légitimité, défiler auprès des démocrates de la vieille Europe,  m’oblige à m’interroger…]

P.O. : Que vous inspire la manifestation de dimanche ?

S.F. : Elle suscite chez moi un vrai malaise. D’une part, elle est le résultat d’une manipulation émotionnelle très réussie, mais dont on ignore ce qu’elle produira à terme… Et d’autre part, elle est à mes yeux la réminiscence de l’esprit de Babel : «A ce moment là tous les habitants de la terre parlent la même langue et utilisent les mêmes mots» (Genèse 11.1) ; «Puis ils disent : Allons ! Construisons une ville et une grande tour aussi haute que le ciel. Ainsi, nous deviendrons célèbres et nous pourrons rester tout ensemble » (Genèse 11.4) Tout le monde (enfin notre vision du monde) parle le même langage («Je suis Charlie»), et se met en marche pour manifester dans une unité et une unanimité qui n’est pas sans rappeler cette antique histoire. Je trouve que l’angle spirituel de ces manifestations n’a pas assez été souligné par les responsables spirituels.

« L’esprit de Babel a gangréné toute la société »

P.O. : Que pensez-vous des communiqués officiels émanant des responsables du protestantisme français ?

S.F. : …Rien ! Ils sont tous, sans aucune exception, une manifestation de xyloglossie (nom savant décrivant la langue de bois). Ces gens-là parlent un langage humaniste,  et c’est là qu’on découvre que l’humanisme (ce que je nomme l’esprit de Babel) a gangréné toute la société. J’ai noté qu’aucun responsable religieux n’a osé parler clairement et ostensiblement de Dieu, pour les chrétiens du moins (car les musulmans n’ont pas cette frilosité pour évoquer Allah…). Par contre, ils sont tous «Charlie». Je dois vous avouer ma frustration et ma colère (spirituelle s’entend)…

P.O. : Selon le Président Hollande, Paris était la capitale du monde hier…

S.F. : C’est à mourir de rire. Que Monsieur Hollande ait trouvé le moyen de sauver son quinquennat par ce biais est une évidence (encore que…). Que l’on fasse défiler 50 chefs d’Etats côte à côte en France, à Paris, relève d’un miracle de la  nouvelle religion laïciste. Mais que l’on invite – pour lutter contre le terrorisme -, des responsables politiques qui au mieux financent le terrorisme, au pire sont des terroristes eux mêmes, c’est vraiment le comble de cet humanisme bon teint, qui est tellement dans l’air du temps, qu’il est peu recommandé de la combattre et de le condamner et encore moins de s’aventurer à le dénoncer.

Je ne suis pas du tout impressionné par cette mascarade «démocratique» et pour tout dire, elle me laisse un vrai malaise. Surtout à l’égard de toutes ces personnes se réclamant de l’Evangile et qui sont allés manifester sans même réfléchir à l’esprit qui est derrière ce genre d’événement.

« Les signes des temps ne sont-ils pas entrain de s’accomplir sous nos yeux ? »

P.O. : Pensez-vous que ce que nous vivons à l’heure actuelle peut être l’une des manifestations des signes des temps ?

S.F. : Je ne suis ni mystique, ni un spécialiste de l’eschatologie, mais pour s’en tenir à votre question et aux éléments qui ressortent de l’ambiance autour de ces manifestations, on n’est pas loin du texte de Paul : «Quand les gens diront : Quelle paix ! Quelle sécurité ! Alors, tout à coup ce sera la catastrophe» (1 Thessaloniciens 5.3). Pas question de souhaiter du mal à qui que ce soit, mais juste de constater que notre foi chrétienne devrait nous ramener aux réalités. Les signes des temps doivent s’accomplir et ne sont-ils pas entrain de s’accomplir sous nos yeux ? Manifester contre cet accomplissement, pour nous croyants, est un non-sens…

P.O. : Comment pourriez-vous définir cet  «esprit de Babel» que vous avez évoqué ?

S.F. : Tout simplement, c’est l’Humanisme porté à son apogée. Aucune place pour Dieu dans tout ceci, même plus chez ceux qui sont censés le représenter. D’ailleurs, la pire forme d’Humanisme à mes yeux, n’est pas celle proposée par les politiciens et les medias, mais celle qui est prêchée par les chrétiens eux-mêmes. L’Humanisme chrétien est un non-sens, qui n’a pas manqué de se manifester ces derniers jours. Pour définir l’Humanisme ou l’esprit de Babel, sans doute que le vieux texte du prophète Jérémie est le plus parlant : «Malheur à l’homme qui se confie dans l’homme» (Jérémie 17.5)

P.O. : Que conseillez-vous aux chrétiens en cette période de troubles ? 

S.F. : Les conseilleurs ne sont pas les payeurs comme disait le fabuliste Lafontaine. Mais si ce n’est un conseil, peut être un avis pastoral. Les terroristes ont voulu mettre le France à genoux et les manifestants d’hier ont prétendu remettre la France debout. Mais pour ma part, loin de la pensée de ce monde, je crois que la France, pour qu’elle puisse être véritablement debout, doit pouvoir s’appuyer sur des chrétiens qui se remettent à genoux dans la prière. Dommage que l’on soit parfois si prompt à manifester et si peu enjoué à l’idée de fréquenter les réunions de prière.

Ao menos 12 pessoas morrem em ataque a revista em Paris

Reblogged from https://br.noticias.yahoo.com    

• 
  AFP - Pelo menos 11 pessoas morreram em um ataque à revista Charlie Hebdo, em Paris

Dois homens armados abriram fogo contra a sede da revista francesa 'Charlie Hebdo',

 que fica no 11º distrito da capital francesa. Acompanhe os detalhes aqui: http://yhoo.it/1IpJKLZ... mais 

Pelo menos 12 pessoas morreram e 10 ficaram feridas em um ataque no escritório da revista de humor "Charlie Hebdo", em Paris, na França, que já havia sido alvo de atentado após publicar charges com líderes muçulmanos, informou a polícia.

Segundo a polícia, cinco feridos estão em estado grave. O presidente francês, François Hollande, disse  que "40 pessoas foram salvas" e classificou o caso como um "ataque terrorista". Hollande afirmou ainda que a França está em estado de choque. Uma reunião emergencial do gabinete foi convocada para as 14h, horário local (11h de Brasília). Atiradores teriam fugido em dois veículos após o atentado.

 
Publicação de 2012 com caricaturas de Maomé diz o essencial é não deixar viver …
Testemunhas disseram ao canal de notícias francês iTELE terem visto o incidente a partir de um prédio próximo da capital francesa.

"Cerca de meia hora atrás dois homens com capuz preto entraram no prédio com (fuzis) Kalashnikovs", disse Benoit Bringer à emissora. "Poucos minutos depois, nós ouvimos vários tiros", disse, acrescentando que os homens depois foram vistos fugindo do prédio.
A revista já havia sido ameaçada após publicar caricaturas do profeta Maomé.
 
A sede da "Charlie Hebdo" foi alvo de ataque com uma bomba incendiária em novembro de 2011 após o jornal ter publicado uma imagem do profeta Maomé em sua capa.
