What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24,25.

Palestinians Terrorists Torch Joseph’s Tomb As Israel Prepares To Go To War


| October 16, 2015 | 10 Comments

Palestinians torched Joseph’s Tomb, revered by Jews in the West Bank overnight in an incident that threatened to further inflame over two weeks of deadly unrest, as fresh protests were planned for Friday

“Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;” Joel 3:4 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: After Palestinians stab and kill 7 Israelis, then set fire to Joseph’s Tomb, the Arab League calls on the United Nations to step in and stop “Israeli aggression”. This is the reality of what’s happening in Israel’s capital city of Jerusalem right now. Palestine wants war with Israel, and they are about to get it. Am Yisrael Chai!
Jerusalem, Israel – Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, under pressure over recent comments that some have labelled incitement, quickly condemned the fire at the site in the northern city of Nablus known as Joseph’s Tomb. Video showed what looked like an extensive blaze and the Israeli army called it “a despicable act” of desecration.
The arson came as Palestinians called for a “Friday of revolution” against Israel, and Jerusalem police barred men under 40 from attending the main weekly prayers at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque, seeking to keep young protesters away.

In the two intifadas of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005, thousands of people were killed and many more wounded in near daily violence. Joseph’s Tomb, inside a compound in the Palestinian refugee camp of Balata in Nablus, has been the scene of recurring violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Israeli security forces have deployed massively in Jerusalem after two weeks of Palestinian attacks in the city and across Israel. Beginning Sunday, some 300 soldiers will reinforce police, stretched thin by the unrest.

The last time soldiers deployed in such large numbers was in 2002, during the second Palestinian uprising, or intifada, according to a security source.

The United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting at Jordan’s request on Friday to discuss the upsurge of violence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday reiterated his willingness to meet Abbas, while accusing him of inciting and encouraging violence.
“It’s time that president Abbas stops not only justifying it, but also calling for it,” Netanyahu told reporters.

 US Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to travel to the region “in the coming days” to try to calm tempers, also warned the Palestinian leader not to incite violence. Abbas has called for peaceful protest, but had not explicitly condemned any attacks in the recent wave of unrest until Friday’s statement on the holy site.

He said the “illegal” arson “offends our culture and our religion and our morals.” He said a committee would investigate and the damage would be repaired. The Palestinian leader has faced heavy criticism over a statement on Wednesday night in which he claimed a Palestinian youth had been executed.

Israel has released photos and videos which they say show the 13-year-old, accused of taking part in two stabbing attacks, recovering in hospital.

Joseph’s Tomb, inside a compound in the Palestinian refugee camp of Balata in Nablus, has been the scene of recurring violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Many Jews believe it to be the final resting place of the biblical Joseph, while Muslims believe that an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Yussef (Joseph) Dawiqat was buried there two centuries ago. The shrine is under Palestinian control and off-limits to Israelis except on escorted trips organised by the army.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vows to take action


The Israeli military said it would make the repairs necessary to allow visits to continue and “take all measures to bring the perpetrators of this despicable act to justice.” There were warnings that the fire could worsen the unrest.
“Burning Joseph’s Tomb is a dangerous attempt to exacerbate an already tense environment,” Nickolay Mladenov, UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, said on Twitter. There has been a spate of stabbing attacks and violent protests have swept the Palestinian territories.

Seven Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded.

Thirty-three Palestinians have also died, including alleged attackers, and hundreds more been wounded in clashes with Israeli forces. In the two intifadas of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005, thousands of people were killed and many more wounded in near daily violence.
On Wednesday, police began setting up checkpoints in parts of annexed east Jerusalem, including a neighbourhood which is home to three Palestinians who carried out gun, knife and car-ramming attacks this week.

The move followed a decision by Netanyahu’s security cabinet authorising police to seal off or impose a curfew on parts of Jerusalem.

Netanyahu has come under immense pressure to halt the violence.

Abbas again called on Wednesday night for peaceful resistance, but young people fed up with Israel’s occupation and the lack of progress in peace efforts have grown tired of his leadership. The attackers seem to be mostly acting on their own, with no mastermind for security forces to pursue.

While the attacks have fanned Israeli anger and fear, online video footage of security forces shooting dead alleged assailants has fed Palestinian anger, with protesters seeing some of the killings as unjustified.

The violence began on October 1, when a suspected cell of the Islamist movement Hamas murdered a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children. Those killings followed repeated clashes at east Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque compound in September between Israeli forces and Palestinian youths. source
