“Vatican to stop missionizing Jews”

After meeting the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, and praying at the Western Wall on Tuesday, Pope Benedict XVI arrived for a historic meeting with the chief rabbis at Heichal Shlomo, next to the capital's Great Synagogue, and agreed that the Catholic Church will cease all missionary activity among Jews.Barack Obama hints at tougher line on Israel.

I guess that means the Vatican no longer believes that the chosen people, the Jews no longer need to hear the Gospel. How accommodating, instead of an honest relationships that can disagree as to who the Messiah is, the pope is willing to be temporal friends and eternally separated from his Jewish counterparts. Its a nice way of saying, go to hell....

"As a Christian, the greatest form of anti-semitiam I can partake in is not sharing the good news of the Messiah with God's chosen people, the Jews" - Richard Henri Paradise

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."Ro 1:16

"But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile." Ro 2:10

WHICH PHOTO SPEAKS THE TRUTH?

As the President of America met with the Prime Minister of Israel two major issues were on the agenda, peace with the Palestinians and the Iran nuclear crisis. Both men have a different view on these critical subjects. If you know anything about body language then examine these different photos and ask yourself, which on tells the truth. These scriptures come to mind when I see the two leaders of these countries come together and try and convince each other that his way is the best way. Nevertheless, the word of God, not man will prevail.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. "Ps 122:6-9

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." Gal. 5:7

ABDULLAH TELLS NETANYAHU IN AMMAN: ACCEPT PA STATE IMMEDIATELY!

Jordan’s King Abdullah II, hosting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a previously unannounced visit Thursday morning, demanded that he “immediately declare his commitment to a two-state solution, [declare] acceptance of the Arab peace initiative and to take necessary steps to move forward toward a solution.”

He also said that Israel must open all crossings into Gaza, which was taken over by the Hamas terrorist organization two years ago. The royal palace released the king’s remarks, and no response from Prime Minister Netanyahu was reported. His office earlier stated that Jordan is a peace partner with Israel and a key to regional peace.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s surprise visit came several days before he travels to Washington for talks with U.S. President Barack Obama. The Prime Minister’s office said he traveled to Jordan to coordinate policies in preparation for his trip and added that the visit had been postponed because of pressures involved in passing the proposed budget in the Cabinet.

After King Abdullah’s discussions with President Obama in Washington last month, the monarch warned that war will break out within the next 18 months if Israel does not accept the Saudi Arabian 2002 Peace Plan, based on shrinking the size of Israel to that which existed in 1949. The plan also calls for the right of approximately five million foreign Arabs to immigrate to Israel on the basis of their families having once lived there, prior to fleeing during the 1948 War of Independence.

While Prime Minister Netanyahu was in Amman, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was on his way to Damascus to speak with Syrian President Bashar Assad on "the elaboration of the common Arab position on negotiations with Israel after an extreme right government took power in Israel,” according to the PA.

Foreign media reported that Assad and Abbas will come up with a proposal that Syrian-Israeli talks be resumed as part of a regional peace agreement that would include the establishment of a new PA state.

The tactic fits in well with the strategy of advisors to President Obama who want a package accord that also includes stopping Iran from becoming a nuclear power, which Washington has suggested as a condition for Israel to agree to the Saudi initiative.

Hamas, whose politburo chief Khaled Mashaal is based in Damascus, said it will boycott Abbas’s visit, which comes two days after Abbas announced he will form a new government headed by incumbent Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

Fayaad last month said he would resign as a step to encourage progress in unity talks between Hamas and Fatah, but the negotiations have failed.

Abbas’s visit to Syria continues a four-year strategy that has succeeded in winning support from the Arab world and its allies for the Saudi plan, without conceding anything to Israel. Constant American and European Union backing have provided momentum for his insistence on an all-or-nothing agreement with Israel.

The election of President Obama, who was heavily backed by dovish American Jews, has built a nearly universal platform of support for PA demands.

Months of talks under Egyptian auspices have failed to produce an agreement on a unity government between the two parties.

So is this relevant to the prophetic scriptures or has all the prophecies concerning Israel been historically fulfilled? The Preterist School of prophecy beleive all the horrible event that occured in Jerusalem happend in 70 A.D. and we have only to wait for the return of the Lord.

Needless to say they have not taken into account events that have and are transpiring in our own lifetimes. Israel become a state in one day, the retaking of Jeruslaem to mention a couple and that which we are witnessing today, Jerusalem becoming the "cup of trembling to the entire world."

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.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. Zech 12:1-3
