The Reality of Relativity

I find myself scratching my head as I hear so called Bible believers claim many of these events are "cyclic."  I've actually heard people mention how many times in history it's been thought the tribulation was at hand.  There are quite a number of things that have never gone on, in this magnitude, simultaneously.  It's never before been possible . . .  With of course, one of the major factors, is the presence of Israel after nearly 2000 years.  It's time to seriously look at the reality of the establishment of Israel, relative to the rest of the world with an opinion.

Before 1948, Israel wasn't figured into any global consideration, it didn't exist.  There were simply nations in which there were small Jewish segments in the social fabric of the country.  Unlike the so called Palestinians in Arab countries, the Jewish people made a contribution, to the culture in which they were living, dispersed. Before Hitler's attack, there were thriving Jewish businesses throughout Europe.  When the UN recognized the establishment of Israel, the Arab nations refused these new so-called displaced Palestinians, although Israel had no intent of casting them out.

Now since the existence of Israel, all the Arab land in the Middle East cannot possibly give refuge to a people who have now collectively called themselves displaced Palestinians for nearly 70 years.  Israel has Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and has since the establishment of the nation in 1948.  This accusation and outcry of a so called "occupation" is getting quite old.  There are retired baby boomers who are great grandparents that were born in 1948.  It's been a serious stretch of time to continue to cry "refugee!"

I was in Israel in 2004, the year before Ariel Sharon, under the advice of the previous American administration, gave Gaza to the Palestinians and ordered the settlements to stop on the West Bank.  What happened next?  The Palestinians couldn't agree on a leader so they have two . . .  Maybe it's time to see the manipulation of continuously being "helplessly displaced" for what it truly is.  I saw the lush greenhouses and the beautiful olive groves.  The fact that in less than ten years, they've destroyed Gaza may be a big indicator why the rest of the Arab world probably doesn't want them camped out in their country.

Just a couple of questions, here.  If Israel were to disappear, then who would take care of the Palestinians, because it certainly isn't Hamas?  If Hamas doesn't have Israel to complain about, who is their next target?

Boots on the Ground

Israel is now on the ground in Gaza.  What was a gift to the Palestinians less than a decade ago, had already been turned into a desert ghetto, at the hands of their chosen leadership, Hamas.  Hamas destroyed flourishing greenhouses and irrigation systems, only to cry for more . . . Maybe this is why all the larger wealthier Arab nations don't want the Palestinians.  Do the rest of the Arab nations see what some Americans don't?  It's time to face facts.  America has claimed to be an ally of Israel for years and years, but here's a real quick history lesson.

President Johnson did not send help for the Six Day War.  America was not a part of the Raid on Entebbe.  President Carter made the worse decision of his Presidential career and after, regarding peace negotiations in the Middle East.  President Reagan made an arms deal with Iran.  Bush 41 was determined to remove Hussein who served as a buffer between Iran and the rest of the world . . . Israel included.  I don't have much to say about Clinton's lip service to Israel, but it was Bush 43 who pushed the Gaza give away.  As for President Obama, I'm sure Mr. Netanyahu recognized the snide arrogance on his first visit, when the President ended the meeting to go to dinner, leaving him to "think things over."

The words repeated by Benjamin Netanyahu ring in my spirit every now and again.  "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."  Is it possible when he hears America claim to be Israel's closest ally, he repeats that quote to himself?

Wake Up!

The map above portrays the entire Middle East region. The countries highlighted in grey are Arab countries; Israel is highlighted in red.

Whether you believe Israel is currently a nation by Divine province or a UN State established by the elite, Israel does have a right to exist!  There are many Palestinian "allies" in the region that could certainly parcel off a larger portion of land than all of Israel!  This is not about creating a Palestinian state, this is about the elimination of Israel.  Regardless of biased reports, Israel is only responding to Hamas aggression, while continuing humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip.

Rights and Freedom

The Supreme Court did a good thing in the decision regarding Hobby Lobby, in my opinion; but of course, that's only a matter of opinion.  According to social media, there seemed to be almost as many who disagreed, but that's getting to be the rule of thumb here in America.  The issues get lost and tossed according to political leanings . . . period.  I truly do not think this decision was about Hobby Lobby or women's rights at all.  I think it was about freedom.

As I read the perspectives I just kept thinking about how far we've gotten away from the freedom we claim to love.  Until this last century, people lived agriculturally or had their own business.  Americans were basically independent.   We've given up our freedom and independence for some elusive "rights."  Sadly, even the Bill of Rights is eroding while society focuses on the convoluted definitions of "rights."  For example, even though the civil rights issue was legislatively addressed and resolved nearly 50 years ago, not to mention abolition . . . Ben Carson is one of the few Americans who can disagree with the President without being called a racist.  Meanwhile law enforcement across this nation profiles and intimidates and it's called "policy."  Men cannot hit their wives or girlfriends, but a man with a badge can hit and.or shoot anyone and everyone.

Moving on toward women's rights.  Women, especially have bought into the programming and where has that truly gotten us socially?  As a woman, I can tell you straight out, I'm not looking forward to the possibility of a woman president.  I don't want Hillary C. or Sarah P.   The ERA never passed, but most women now work outside the home.  Many women are single moms, often dependent upon government programs.  Food stamps used to be for emergencies, now renamed; WIC and SNAP are commonplace.  Often working mothers still rely on state provided medical care for their children and the latest legislation of health care has put most everyone on some sort of government plan or subsidy.

There has been a slow erosion of freedoms wrapped in the agenda of "rights."  The celebration of FREEDOM in general, and the rules thereof, put this in perspective as to where we truly are . . .

This brings us back full circle to fine the line is between freedom to live and slavery to regulation.  Although generic memes are often, obviously tongue in cheek, it raises a wonderful observation as to how legislation and regulation can become ridiculous.

Prophetic Dream?

I do not call myself a prophet, that isn't my call.  Sometimes, however; I do hear or see things in advance or am made aware of things by YHWH that I couldn't know any other way.  This post I've copied below was originally posted to my yahoo360 blog, and I transferred it when yahoo eliminated the 360 blog.  I guess Anderson Cooper is the only one with enough clout to get to keep his . . . At any rate, I've also included the blog link where various dreams and words I've been given are retained.

I just shared the blog entry originally dated December of 2008, with a friend the evening of June 23, 2014.  June 24, 2014, this was a cnn feature

A week ago, I had another dream or vision regarding the direction of our country, culture, or civilization. I’m just not sure if it is global or simply this country for now, but I get the overwhelming feeling that this particular condition that I “saw” was to provide our continental contribution to the global plan, and I saw containment. The sad thing was, the containment was considered convenient and safe and many of the people with which I spoke (in the vision) were content with the containment.

The vision or dream began, with us heading toward town in a wagon pulled by donkeys, and the other people we saw on the road were in the same basic mode of transportation. I remember specifically seeing a team of young donkeys harnessed together with a large draft type horse out ahead of them. The people in that wagon told us that was how they “broke” the young teams. As we approached the “town” or city, it was actually a gated metropolis in which all of the references had the prefix “mega” or the suffix “plex,” such as communi-plex, mega-mart. There were no private vehicles, only public transportation and the best way I can describe what we came to was a campus or compound containing apartments, schools, skyscrapers, and a health facility. We were there visiting our daughter and her family, but we kept running into other people we knew from days gone by. Our daughter told us how great it was there. She could take a bus directly from home to work, without riding for an hour and she could look out her window at work and see her children playing on their playground at school. She said, every night there was a “market stop” on the way home for groceries and supplies and as long as she worked every day, all her provisions and the children’s were met. There were more details as to child care and work schedule, but they are not specific to my memory, at this time, other than the fact they were mentioned. She said the only bad thing about the mega-metropolis was the fact she couldn’t come visit us any more. She said, “They” didn’t like them to go outside the gates and besides, there was no way to get to our place. Individually owned vehicles were obsolete. Now, perhaps this detail has been inspired by the desperation of the auto industry, I can’t say. All I can say, is this community, compound, campus was a contained “metro-plex,” completely functional in a sustained urban vacuum.

Israel in the News

When I first read the headlines of the three young Israel men being kidnapped, I began to pray.  Immediately in my spirit, I was reminded of Gilad Shalit.  His freedom was obtained through prison exchange and I believe this is intended to accomplish the same thing.  I pray they are still alive and will be returned to their families soon.  Here are links that continue to provide updates.

"Be Ready" . . . For What?

This is a question we must all ask ourselves as these end of days continue to unfold.  The early Apostles lived their lives believing it was the end of days.  All I can say, is, we are clearly 2000 years closer to the return of Messiah.  He's coming back for a bride that is prepared and awaiting Him.  What does that mean?  Do any of us truly know?

I've been doing some serious soul searching as of late.  I know, my entire life has been in preparation for His plan.  Even when I wasn't serving Him or following Messiah, He knew where I was and what I was learning, would be implemented in this ministry to which I'm called.  I've done a number of things.  I'm not claiming expert status, just working knowledge and some accomplishment.  I know what He has imparted specifically, and it is His Spirit and power in me, that does that.

There are many who are feeling the changes coming and the urgency with which we must prepare.  Take some time, fast, pray, do something different in establishing a set apart seeking of the Will of YHWH.  It's occurred to me, as I read the various articles by survivalists, homesteaders, those sounding warnings; and seek Scripture.  We've been told to feed our enemies . . .Peter was admonished for his violence, even in defense of Messiah.  I don't know fully, yet what we are called to do and we may well be called to different things at different times, but I have heard two things specifically for me, recently.

I am to prepare for barter and trade, and although some days, hiding in the woods sounds preferable, I cannot put my light under a bushel.

 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of G-d, and the faith of Y'hshuwah.  the Revelation
