Getting to the source of terrorism

Trump suspends refugee program, vows to weed out Islamic radicals:

US President Donald Trump unleashed a wave of alarm Saturday with his order to temporarily halt all refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travelers from seven Muslim countries including war-wracked Syria.

Moving against Muslim immigration is absolutely the right thing to do. Over 95% of terrorists identify with Islam. ISIS recruits its jihadists out of mosques, including in the west. Islam promotes the subjugation of all other people and religions. Islam treats women, Jews and Christians as second class citizens. Saudi Arabia funded 20% of Hillary's campaign. Islam is an insidious, evil ideology that must be stopped.

Ten Obvious Reasons Why  Islam is Not a Religion of Peace

#1 18,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last ten years.  (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so).   #2 Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killedfor insulting him or for criticizing his religion.  This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad. #3 Muhammad said in many places that he has been "ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger."  In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that. Muhammad inspired his men to war with the basest of motives, using captured loot, sex and a gluttonous paradise as incentives.  He beheaded captives,enslaved children and raped women captured in battle.  Again, Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.  #4 After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him and knew his religion best immediately fell into war with each other. Fatima, Muhammad's favorite daughter, survived the early years among the unbelievers at Mecca safe and sound, yet died of stress from the persecution of fellow Muslims only six months after her father died.  She even miscarried Muhammad's grandchild after having her ribs broken by the man who became the second caliph. It was the same caliph, Umar, who ordered the death of the first convert to Islam at Medina, an elderly leader who became a close companion to Muhammad and proved his worth in battle.  Sa'd ibn Ubadah was killed after a failed bid to be caliph. Fatima's husband Ali, who was the second convert to Islam and was raised like a son to Muhammad, fought a civil war against an army raised by Aisha, Muhammad's favorite wife - and one whom he had said was a "perfect woman."  10,000 Muslims were killed in a single battle waged less than 25 years after Muhammad's death. Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered.  All of them were among Muhammad's closest companions.  The third caliph was killed by allies of the son of the first (who was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the skin of a dead donkey and burned).  The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to death after a bitter dispute with the fifth.  The fifth caliph went on to poison one of Muhammad's two favorite grandsons.  The other grandson was later beheaded by the sixth caliph. The infighting and power struggles between Muhammad's family members, closest companions and their children only intensified with time.  Within 50 short years of Muhammad's death, even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal Muslim war... And that's just the fate of those within the house of Islam!  #5 Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them under submission to Islam.  Within the first few decades following his death, his Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands. A mere 25 years after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had captured land and people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.  #6 Muslims continued their Jihad against other religions for 1400 years, checked only by the ability of non-Muslims to defend themselves.  To this day, not a week goes by that Islamic fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists explicitly in the name of Allah. None of these other religions are at war with each other. #7 Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by formally threatening to kill anyone who leaves.  This is according to the example set by Muhammad. #8 Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human.  Muhammad said that Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to death for killing a non-Muslim. #9 The Quran never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times. #10  "Allahu Akbar!  Allahu Akbar!  Allahu Akbar!" (The last words from the cockpit of Flight 93)

Trump and Putin work together to defeat ISIS

First joint US-Russian air strike in Syria under Trump’s presidency

US and Russian bombers conducted a joint sortie Monday, Jan. 23 against ISIS targets in the eastern Syrian town of Deir ez-Zour. More details to come.  On Jan. 15, five days before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, DEBKAfile forecast exclusively that one of his first actions upon entering the White House would be to approve a joint US-Russian operation against the Islamic State in Syria.

What a concept. Russia and the US working together against ISIS. America should have done this LONG ago. Good riddance Obama.

Maybe something; maybe nothing will happen before Trump takes over as leader of the western world.

The Paris "Peace" Conference - We're Witnessing Biblical Prophecy

Today's Paris 'Peace' Conference is kicking off the biggest war the earth has ever seen will ever see. If only our dear leaders would read and believe the Bible. Instead, and as usual, people refuse to believe and will suffer severe consequences. 

Ezekiel 36:
4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins and to the deserted cities which have become prey and a mockery to the rest of the nations which surround you,
5 therefore thus says the Lord God, “Most certainly in the fire of My jealousy (love for that which is Mine) I have spoken against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with uttermost contempt, so that they might empty it out [and possess it] as prey.”

Joel 3Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

3 For behold, in those days and at that time when I shall reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, [started May  14, 1948]

2 I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for [their treatment of] My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and [because] they have divided My land.

Over 70 nations are gathering in Paris today to talk about splitting up Israel and giving the Temple Mount back to the gentiles. Needless to say the only God is not please and will soon issue judgement on Israel's enemies. Huge day today on God's calendar.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. -Luke 21:36

An Appeal to French Foreign Minister Ayrault to Cancel the Paris 'Peace' Conference

If the aim is to advance a two-state accord, then it’s high time to face facts.

Fact #1: From the Peel Commission report of 1937 until today, the Palestinians and their supporters have, in the end, rejected every compromise put on the table to find a viable solution.

Fact #2: Every effort that circumvents the face-to-face negotiating table only emboldens the Palestinians to believe they can get all they want without the need for direct talks with Israel, and the inevitable compromises that would result from any agreement.

Fact #3: Palestinian incitement is not just a minor issue to be thrown into UN resolutions and diplomatic speeches as an afterthought or footnote; it is the heart of the problem. As long as Palestinians glorify suicide bombings and “martyrdom,” and deny the Jewish people’s legitimacy in Israel, there will be no solution.

Fact #4: The role of nations of good will should be to send a clear message to the Palestinians that their every whim, no matter how counter-productive to the cause of peace, will no longer be indulged. Israel has certainly gotten its share of clear messages from the international community, but, alas, not the other side.

70 Nations meet in Paris to discuss the division of Israel

Joel 3

Judgment against Enemy Nations

“At the time of those events,” says the Lord,
    “when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather the armies of the world
    into the valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will judge them
    for harming my people, my special possession,
for scattering my people among the nations,
    and for dividing up my land.
3 They threw dice[c] to decide which of my people
    would be their slaves.
They traded boys to obtain prostitutes
    and sold girls for enough wine to get drunk.

Benjamin Netanyahu: Paris confab 'is rigged' - Jerusalem Post
“It’s a rigged conference, rigged by the Palestinians with French auspices to adopt additional anti-Israel stances,” he added. “This pushes peace backward. It’s not going to obligate us. It’s a relic of the past. It’s a last gasp of the past before the future sets in.”

Bibi is right! Here is the future for Israel that is about to set in:

Joel 2:
18 Then the Lord will pity his people
    and jealously guard the honor of his land.
19 The Lord will reply,
“Look! I am sending you grain and new wine and olive oil,
    enough to satisfy your needs.
You will no longer be an object of mockery
    among the surrounding nations.
20 I will drive away these armies from the north.
    I will send them into the parched wastelands.
Those in the front will be driven into the Dead Sea,
    and those at the rear into the Mediterranean.[c]
The stench of their rotting bodies will rise over the land.”
Surely the Lord has done great things!
21     Don’t be afraid, O land.
Be glad now and rejoice,
    for the Lord has done great things.
22 Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field,
    for the wilderness pastures will soon be green.
The trees will again be filled with fruit;
    fig trees and grapevines will be loaded down once more.
23 Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem!
    Rejoice in the Lord your God!
For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.
    Once more the autumn rains will come,
    as well as the rains of spring.
24 The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain,
    and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.
25 The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost
    to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,
the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.[d]
    It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.
26 Once again you will have all the food you want,
    and you will praise the Lord your God,
who does these miracles for you.
    Never again will my people be disgraced.
27 Then you will know that I am among my people Israel,
    that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other.
    Never again will my people be disgraced.

American clerics prepare for possible war at home
North American Islamic scholars have issued a legal ruling or “fatwa” in the wake of Donald Trump’s stunning victory and imminent presidency, instructing the faithful on what to expect and how they should respond to shifting political realities.

Changes are coming, warns the Assembly of Muslim Jurist of America, and Muslims are told to get ready. The fatwa is titled “AMJA Post-Election Statement: Principles and Roadmap.”


Philip Haney, a retired Homeland Security officer and co-author of the whistleblower book “See Something Say Nothing,” said the document is loaded with coded language that signals a possible uptick in jihadist attacks during Trump’s presidency.

As soon as President elect Trump starts to act against Muslim immigration, the Muslims of America will feel themselves oppressed and we'll see a marked increase in domestic terrorist attacks. 

Luke 21:
25There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. 26Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Very interesting prophecy wherein the boy, Natan, sees that Obama is Gog of Ezekiel 38, and he sees 70 nations coming against Israel. The Paris peace conference on January 15, 2017 will include 70 nations to talk about splitting up Jerusalem between the Palestinians and Israel.

Natan: Iran will join him. The UN, the whole UN. Yes. Russia, South Korea, the whole UN. Really everyone, everyone, all seventy nations will be against us. Seventy."

BELOW IS FROM A LINKED ARTICLE ABOUT AN "UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL CONFERENCE " from "70 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES" WHOSE GOAL IS TO GIVE AWAY JERUSALEM & DIVIDE ISRAEL. HOW INCREDIBLE THAT NATAN SAW THESE 70 COUNTRIES!!

"On January 15th, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France for an unprecedented global conference. The stated goal of this conference is to promote a “two-state solution” as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East. In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state. But things would have to move very rapidly in order for that to happen, because Barack Obama’s time in the White House comes to an end on January 20th, and Donald Trump has already made it exceedingly clear that he would never support such a resolution."

"Why do they waste their time with futile plans?"

Circle January 15th: 70 Nations Will Gather In Paris To Discuss The Creation Of A Palestinian State
Ultimately, everything that is happening now is setting the stage for the biggest war in the Middle East that we have ever seen.

So instead of this “peace process” being the solution, it is actually going to cause the Middle East to explode in violence.

With Hillary's defeat, Obama is planning to inflict his most significant damage to world peace in his last 5 days in office. The irony of Obama being a peace prize Nobel laureate runs incredibly thick when you consider his actions will ignite WW3, and WW3 in the age of nuclear weapons will be devastating.

The only God, the God of Israel is in control. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Psalm 2:

1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? 

2The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. 

3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” 

4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 

5 Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. 

6 For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.” 

7 The king proclaims the LORD ’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father. 

8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. 

9 You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.’”

10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth! 

11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. 

12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Some great insight...

70 YEARS – 70 NATIONS – 70th WEEK . . . Deciding the Fate of Israel . . . by Doug Krieger…12.29.2016

On Nov. 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for Palestine to be partitioned between Arabs and Jews, allowing for the formation of the Jewish state of Israel. Now, 70 years later on 15 January 2017 there will be 70 nations who shall gather in Paris to decide the fate of that Jewish State and her partition after multiple wars which reconfigured the landscape of that original partition (http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/…/nov-29-1947-united-na…/…).

I find it nigh prophetic and most certainly ironic, that some 70 years has passed since that original partitioning which eventually paved the way for the independent State of Israel, founded that next May, 1948. Israel will be celebrating her 70th Anniversary in the year 2017 AD (http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.707304) and the 50th Anniversary of the uniting of Jerusalem under Israeli control because of the Six-Day War in 1967, which in turn could spark a real Intifada if something else, below, takes place (http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.707304).

Why the emphasis upon 70 nations to be gathered for this occasion (http://www.reuters.com/…/us-israel-palestinians-france-idUS…)? This occasion, which could in the final five days of the Obama Administration present a resolution to the UN, would ostensibly create (officially) a Palestinian State sanctioned by, once again, the United Nations’ 15-membered Security Council at the urging of the White House. It appears we are witnessing the convergence of these “70s”. This brings to our prophetic attention the very 70th Week of Daniel’s prophecy found in Daniel 9:24-27.

The “framework” of this 70-nation effort comes on the heels of UN Security Resolution 2334 proclaiming the “settlements” as wholly illegal and demanding that Israel move back to her pre-1967 borders before the Six-Day War. UN Resolution 2334 was configured under “Chapter VI (6)” of the UN Resolutions charter—meaning that if Israel does not comply “sanctions” and/or penalties would not be implemented (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/…/circle-january-15th-70…).

UN Resolution 2334 was further amplified by the speech given by Secretary of State John Kerry this week (between Hanukkah/Christmas and New Year’s day)—a speech which rambled on for one hour but structured a six-point plan for the 70-nation French-sponsored summit to draft and/or incorporate Kerry’s six-points into an official document to be presented to the United Nations Security Council for a final resolution that will have TEETH in it because it will be wrought under Chapter VII (7) in the drafting of UN Resolutions—meaning, sanctions would be mandatory; penalties would be permitted until compliance of the UN Resolution were implemented by Israel (meaning, Israel would have to pull back to pre-1967 boundaries or “agree in principle” to do so).

There would be a very tight window (January 16-19, 2017), prior to the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as US-President, to pass such a resolution demanding Israel’s compliance “or else!” The 70-nation summit in Paris is simply “window-dressing” – the real action would take place under Chapter VII at a last-minute United Nations Security Council meeting which would incorporate the “findings” at the Paris 70-Nation Summit into the final Resolution on the Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian “problem”—thereby providing the basis for BDS: Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions against Israel for non-compliance. This would in turn create a huge reaction from President Trump and both sides of the aisle—virtually the entire US Congress would be up in arms!

The Israelis are apt to pre-empt such a treacherous effort by annexing the territories into Israel proper without giving Palestinians Israeli citizenship, as they have done in Israel’s immediate boundaries in order to keep the character of the Jewish State—thereby inflaming the Arab World all the more. Israel has nothing to lose in such an annexation in that everything she has done so far with the settlements is considered illegal in any event by the UN Security Council’s Resolution 2334—and affirmed by Secretary of State John Kerry’s broadside with the SIX PLANKS designed for the 70-Nation Summit in Paris . . . all of which serve as the final UN Security Council Resolution under Chapter VII and thereby ENFORCING such an “Agreement” upon Israel!

All this is going down while today, 12.29.2016, President Obama has kicked out some 35 Russian diplomats as a result of the "Russian Hacking" into DNC computers during the 2016 presidential election--Trump is being left a complete foreign policy disaster--a BURNING HOUSE!

The whole thing smacks of the “Covenant of Death and Hell” wherein the Antichrist shall “ENFORCE (Heb. “gebar” as in “mighty” or “mandatory compliance”) a Covenant (agreement or “security pact”) with the many (the United Nations) for One Week” (Daniel 9:27). This “Week” in Daniel 9:27 IS the 70th Week in that 69 Weeks have already transpired with the end of the 62nd Week (or, 7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks fulfilled) taking place “until Messiah the Prince” which took place on 10 Nisan (33 A.D. on the Julian Calendar – 29 March 33—and four days later the Pascal Lamb was offered up for the “sins of many” – 1 April 33 AD on Wednesday/Thursday 13/14 Nisan – Passover Preparation Day/Passover Day). (Note: As there was a gap between the first 7 weeks [49 years] and the 62 weeks [434 years], there would be a gap between “until Messiah the Prince” [Yeshua at His First Coming] and the final 70th Week and/or 7 years) and the final 70th Week/7 Years.

No, I am not saying THIS narrative IS the “Treaty of Death and Hell” (found in Isaiah 28:15, 18) but I am saying I have never seen such a geopolitical orchestrated affair that so closely resembles the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27!

The only other “70” that might have something to say about all this is President Donald J. Trump, who, as it turns out, is 70 years of age.

I would not be surprised if Israel made a preemptive strike on this plot hatched between Barack Hussein Obama and the Palestinian Authority (secretly devised without Israel’s knowledge of the same) by officially annexing the territories into Israel proper—unilaterally declaring that Judea and Samaria are now a part of the State of Israel!

Naturally, this in turn foresees, under a Trump Administration, chastising the United Nations by withholding one-quarter of their budget and the movement of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Likewise, this would grossly exacerbate the entire “situation” in the Middle East and provoke the immediate Arab nations and clusters, not only to be outraged over this annexation—which de facto already exists—but could readily lead to all-out warfare between Israel and some of her immediate neighbors, let alone Gaza/Hamas and the Palestinian Authority in the “annexation.”

Unfortunately, most Christians and Jews (for that matter), see little, if any, significance in a latter-day prophetic fulfillment of such an orchestrated enforcement upon Israel—and most certainly do not see any relevance in Daniel’s 70 Weeks involved in such a prophetic narrative. Does it matter if they do or don’t? In a way it really doesn’t matter because it will happen whether they see it or not—but it would be better if they could see it and prepare hearts and minds to recommit themselves to the DELIVERER – preparing to both testify and to greet the only One Who can bring in everlasting Peace: The Messiah!

Obama not backing Israel at the UN just made the Middle East more dangerous for Israel.

Israel settlements: Netanyahu rejects 'shameful' UN vote - Obama abstains

Israel settlements: Netanyahu rejects 'shameful' UN vote - BBC News: "The resolution was passed after the US refused to veto it, breaking with long-standing American practice.

The Egyptian-drafted resolution had been withdrawn after Israel asked US President-elect Donald Trump to intervene, but it was proposed again by Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal and Venezuela.

The resolution, approved by 14 votes to zero, with only the US abstaining, demands that Israel immediately "cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem". [East Jerusalem including the Temple Mount, which has no historical significance to Islam, the religion of death, destruction, and terror. Insane!]

Obama's parting shot at Netanyahu and Israel. Don't these foolish 'leaders' see that they are falling directly into the judgment of the only living God, the God of Israel, as amply described in the Bible? I suppose not because if they did, they might have the wisdom to let Israel retake her land. Instead they are choosing to take a stand against their Creator. Time to learn from history, folks.

Israel does not recognize UN anti-settlement resolution 

DEBKAfile December 24, 2016, 11:43 AM (IDT)

The Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem responded angrily to the UN Security Council resolution that censured Israel for building settlements, stating that Israel will not recognize Resolution 2334 or be bound by it. Israel’s ambassadors were recalled from two of its sponsors, New Zealand and Senegal.

The PMO statement noted that while the Security Council does nothing to stop the slaughter of half a million people in Syria, it “metes out shameful treatment to the only democracy in the Middle East.” Israel expects to “work with President elect Donald Trump and its friends in Congress to reverse the resolution.”

Israel also announced the cancellation of the Senegalese foreign minister’s visit to Israel in three weeks’ time and the suspension of aid programs to that country.

And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who goes before them! 9 For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.


U.S. intended to allow passage of U.N. draft critical of Israel: officials | Reuters
"The United States intended to allow the U.N. Security Council to approve a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlement building, two Western officials said on Thursday, a major reversal of U.S. practice, which prompted Israel to ask President-elect Donald Trump to apply pressure.

"New Zealand, Venezuela, Malaysia and Senegal asked Egypt to clarify by midnight whether it planned to call a vote. In the event that Egypt decides that it cannot proceed to call for vote on 23 December or does not provide a response by the deadline, those delegations reserve the right to table the draft ... and proceed to put it to vote ASAP," the four states wrote in a note, seen by Reuters.

They said "the proposal for other delegations to take the lead ... would also help Egypt by relieving it of the burden of carrying this draft alone." They plan to meet on Friday morning to decide how to proceed, diplomats said.

Interesting times! Obviously God saw Israel's current enemies long, long ago. How futile it is for them to attack Israel when the end result was written about and determined long ago. The UN is blind over WHO is steering the course of this world. These are the last days of the UN and of all unbelievers of Christ. Pray for them as we reflect on the Savior's first coming to this world, so that they, and we, would be prepared for HIS second, and final, coming.

Iran Breaks Nuclear Deal and UN Resolutions: ""We will have a new ballistic missile test in the near future that will be a thorn in the eyes of our enemies." – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

• In addition, Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan said that there would be no limit for the range and amount of missiles that Iran will develop."

I wonder if Iraq will still be a no-fly zone for Israel's new F-35's under Trump. Obama threatened to shoot Israel planes out of the sky over Iraq if they attacked Iran after his nuclear deal disaster.
