Myths and Facts

MYTH:

"The flotilla bound for Gaza was on a humanitarian mission."

FACT:

Israel and Egypt have imposed an embargo on the importation of weapons and certain dual-use items into the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Israel has allowed regular convoys of humanitarian supplies into Gaza, provided Palestinians access to medical care, continued to provide most of Gaza’s electricity, and transferred funds for the ongoing activity of international organizations and to pay the salaries of Palestinian Authority workers. Photos that appeared in a Palestinian newspaper showed bustling marketplaces full of consumer goods and fruits and vegetables.378

Hamas has nevertheless allied with various critics of Israel to promote the idea of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza for the purpose of embarrassing Israel and stimulating international pressure on Jerusalem to end its blockade. The latest provocation involved the mobilization of a flotilla of ships, which was advertised as an aid mission, but behaved in a manner that showed their true interest was to achieve a propaganda victory through a public confrontation with Israeli forces.

In the days before the ships left Turkey, the Israeli government informed the organizers of the mission that they would not be allowed to enter Gaza because it was a closed military zone. They were told that they would be welcome to dock in the Israeli port city of Ashdod where, after inspection to ensure no weapons or prohibited articles were included in the cargo, the goods would be handed over to the UN for delivery to Palestinians in Gaza. The organizers of the mission refused. They made clear that this mission was not about delivering aid, but was in fact a political demonstration to “break the siege on Gaza.”379

One of the organizations that organized this “humanitarian mission” is a radical Islamic, Turkish organization called IHH. This organization has publicly supported al-Qaeda and has ties to Hamas, the terrorist organization that has taken control of the Gaza Strip, calls for the destruction of Israel, and launched thousands of rockets and mortars onto Israeli civilians.

When six ships approached Israeli waters off the coast of Gaza in the early hours of May 31, 2010, Israeli naval forces met them in international waters. The ships were again told that they would not be allowed to sail to Gaza. If they attempted to continue on their course, they were informed they would be boarded and redirected to Ashdod.

When confronted with the Israeli naval blockade, five of the six ships complied and sailed on to Ashdod after being boarded by Israeli naval personnel. As an Israeli journalist witnessed, and videos confirmed, when Israeli naval personnel boarded the Mavi Marmara, however, they were ambushed by passengers on deck, wielding clubs, bats, pipes, and knives.380 The naval forces that boarded the ship, carrying non-lethal paintball guns as their primary weapons, were savagely beaten. Though they were carrying live-ammunition handguns as their secondary weapons, they were instructed not to use them, unless met with deadly force. The passengers wrestled one of the Naval commandos to the ground, stripped him of his handgun and threw him over the side, where he landed on a lower deck, 30 feet below, and suffered serious head trauma. At this point the commandos asked for permission to open fire if attacked. They fired on passengers who attacked them, some of whom had handguns that they had taken from commandos. One passenger opened fire with a rifle. Only after 30 minutes of melee and gunfire was exchanged, were the Israelis able to get to the bridge and take control of the ship.381 Nine passengers were killed in the fighting and seven Israeli soldiers were wounded.

It is clear the purpose of this mission was not to deliver goods to Gaza, but rather to initiate a violent confrontation with Israel. As the flotilla left Turkey, the passengers chanted songs about reaching martyrdom and the murder of Jews.382 On May 27, Greta Berlin, a spokesperson for the flotilla stated that “this mission is not about delivering humanitarian supplies, it is about breaking Israel’s siege.”383 Israeli soldiers found crates of weapons aboard that ship from which passengers armed themselves in preparation of Israelis coming aboard.

Israel’s soldiers sought to avoid a confrontation from the outset by offering to take the aid from the ships and make sure it reached the Palestinians. They also took every precaution to try to avoid violence and none transpired on five of the six ships; it was only in response to being attacked and their own lives put in danger that the soldiers responded with live fire. Tragically, lives were lost, but this could have been easily avoided if the passengers had not attempted to lynch Israel’s soldiers. Whether Israel could have handled the situation differently, or been better prepared for an ambush, were questions raised by Israelis immediately after the incident. There is no doubt, however, about the necessity of preventing Hamas from obtaining weapons through unfettered access to the Gaza Strip.

If a flotilla of ships from a foreign nation showed up on America’s shores with humanitarian aid for impoverished Americans, it would not be allowed to simply land anywhere it wanted and unload its cargo. The ships would probably also be stopped by the U.S. Navy and its cargo certainly inspected. Israel has even greater justification for its naval embargo, as Israel and Hamas are in an ongoing state of conflict. International law provides for the right to impose and enforce an embargo and to do so, if necessary, from international waters.384 Smugglers have often tried to bring weapons to Hamas by way of the sea and Israel has the right to prevent this. The embargo is literally a matter of life and death for Israel, whose citizens endured three years of rocket and mortar attacks which originated in Gaza, perpetrated by Hamas.

Israel tegen Free Gaza- Het complete verhaal

YOCHANAN VISSER - 31 MEI 2010

Ondanks herhaalde verzoeken aan de kapiteins van deze schepen om koers te verleggen naar Ashdod de grote haven in het zuiden van Israel bleven de schepen opstomen naar de kust van Gaza.

De organisatoren hadden eerder duidelijk gemaakt dat het doel van de missie was om de marine blokkade van Gaza (Hamas) te breken.

Israel gaf herhaaldelijk te kennen dat de marine deze actie niet zou toestaan en verzocht de leiding van de actie om de voor Gaza  bestemde humanitaire goederen gewoon in Ashdod te ontschepen. Ook werd een aanbod afgewezen om de Free Gaza organisatie supervisie over de aflevering van de goederen in Gaza te geven.

Bij het vertrek van de schepen uit Turkije werden herhaaldelijk spreekkoren aangeheven zoals “Dood aan de Joden” (Yitbakh al Yahoed)

Vanaf het begin van de operatie “Free Gaza” bestond er samenwerking tussen Hamas en de organisatoren. (bron: right side news)

De entering van vijf kleinere schepen van de Free Gaza vloot verliep zonder noemenswaardig geweld. De grootste boot “Mavi Marmara” bevatte het grootste aantal activisten waaronder een groot aantal leden van de IHH een Turkse Islamistische organisatie die collaboreert met Hamas en Al Qaida.

Ook de leider van de extremistische Islamistische Beweging in Israel  Raed Salah was aan boord van het schip.

Op het moment dat de Israëlische commando’s dit schip enterden werden zij door een groep activisten met messen en ijzeren staven aangevallen, ook werd er met pistolen op de soldaten geschoten en werd een van hen van zijn wapen beroofd.

In het vuurgevecht dat vervolgens ontstond kwamen 10 van de aanvallers om het leven en werden 10 commando’s gewond. De gewonden werden door Israëlische legerartsen behandeld en per helikopter overgebracht naar ziekenhuizen in Israel.

De Israëlische marine heeft -op het moment van publicatie van dit rapport- nog altijd geen volledige controle over het schip Mavi Marmara, sommige activisten hebben zich verschanst in hun hutten.

De Israëlische beslissing om deze actie in internationale wateren uit te voeren was legaal volgens het internationale recht. Volgens de San RemoManual voor het Internationale Recht voor conflict op zee is het toegestaan om “neutrale schepen op open zee aan te vallen wanneer er reden is om aan te nemen dat zij smokkelwaar vervoeren of van plan zijn een blokkade te breken.  Echter niet nadat men waarschuwing had ontvangen, opzettelijk weigerde te stoppen of opzettelijk zich verzette tegen onderzoek, entering of overname van het schip.

Zoals hierboven al werd aangegeven en aangetoond met video beelden, voldeed de Israëlische marine aan deze voorwaarden.  De organisatoren van de Free Gaza vloot maakten eerder bekend dat zij van plan waren door de Israëlische zee blokkade van Gaza te breken (Greta Berlin AFP 27 mei 2010).

De leider van de IHH, Bulent Yildirim, gaf een aantal interviews waarin hij aankondigde om “verzet” te plegen tegen iedere Israëlische poging om de schepen te doorzoeken.

De IHH verzekerde zich van de aanwezigheid van enige EU parlementsleden aan boord van de Mavi Marmara, hetgeen men zag als een verzekeringspolis in geval van ingrijpen door de Israëlische marine.

Schrijver: Franklin ter Horst

Strijdkrachten van de Israëlische marine hebben rond 2.00 uur in de nacht van zondag op maandag plaatselijke tijd de “Free Gaza Movement” met in totaal zes schepen met anti-Israël en pro-Hamas activisten onderschept. Het enteren van het vlaggenschip de Mavi Marmara volgde op een serie waarschuwingen van Israëlische kant aan de organisatie, al voordat ze de haven in Turkije verlieten. Het IDF stelde de bemanning van de leidende activisten voor de schepen naar de haven van Ashdod te begeleiden maar dat werd door de organisatoren afgewezen. Israël had een paar dagen geleden al aangekondigd het konvooi te zullen stoppen indien men weigerde mee te werken. De activisten beloofden geen geweld te zullen gebruiken waarneer de schepen onderschept zouden worden, maar toen de militairen met een helikopter op het dek van de Mavi Marmara werden neergelaten, werden ze door de ‘vredelievende’ activisten aangevallen met messen, knuppels en metalen pijpen. Ook zouden ze onder vuur genomen zijn.
Een aantal van de activisten bleken alles behalve vreedzame bedoelingen te hebben want ze schreeuwden onder meer: "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, Jaish Muhammad saya'ud," wat betekend "Joden herinner je, Khyabar, het leger van Mohammed is terug" Deze kreet gaat terug tot een gebeurtenis in de 7e eeuw toen de Joodse bewoners van de plaats Khaybar door moslims werden afgeslacht. Een oproep dus tot genocide op het Joodse volk. De Israëlische krant Yediot Aharonot meldde dat sommige activisten van plan waren geweest een paar militairen te lynchen en dat ze dat nog net op tijd hadden weten te voorkomen. Volgens de Arabische media zouden de Israëlische troepen met schieten zijn begonnen maar dat wordt door de legerleiding met klem ontkend. Er zou sprake zijn van ca 10 doden onder de pro-Palestijnse activisten en verschillende gewonden. De gewonde Israëlische militairen en activisten zijn met helikopters naar ziekenhuizen in Israël gebracht.
Het konvooi zou 10.000 ton aan goederen aan boord hebben gehad voor de ‘hongerende’ bevolking in Gaza. Het verhaal dat er gebrek is aan alles in Gaza correspondeert echter totaal niet met de werkelijkheid. De Joodse staat stuurt wekelijks ruim 500 vrachtwagens met humanitaire goederen naar Gaza. De organisatoren presenteren zich als verdedigers van mensenrechten wiens enige doel is om de bevolking van Gaza te helpen. Maar uit een verslag van de Inlichtingen- en Terrorism Information Center, blijkt dat zij samenwerken met radicale groepen die juist bekend staan als schenders van mensenrechten. Het ging de activisten dus bepaald niet alleen om het leveren van humanitaire hulp, maar ook om Israël te provoceren in de hoop op een veroordeling van de internationale gemeenschap. Succes verzekert! Mark Regev, de Israëlische woordvoeder sprak van “een goedkope politieke stunt”. “Indien de activisten echt geïnteresseerd waren in het welzijn van de bevolking van Gaza, dan zouden ze de hulpgoederen hebben overgedragen via land, samen met de andere 15 duizend ton die elke week door Israël wordt verzonden”.
Onderzoek van Israël zal uitwijzen wat de anarchisten precies Gaza binnen wilden brengen. Israël’s enige doel is te voorkomen dat er nog meer wapens Gaza worden binnengesmokkeld bestemd voor de terreurbeweging Hamas. De schepen zijn naar de haven van Ashdod gebracht waar de lading zal worden geïnspecteerd, en van daaruit doorgezonden naar Gaza.
De actie van Israël leverde al snel een golf van commentaar op. Diverse Europese landen riepen de Israëlische ambassadeurs op het matje om opheldering. De Verenigde Staten eisen van Israël een snel en duidelijk antwoord op wat er precies is gebeurt. Secretaris-generaal Ban Ki-moon van de VN veroordeelde de actie, zoals hij alles van Israël veroordeelt. De VN wil, net als de Europese Unie, dat er snel een onderzoek komt. In de Arabische en islamitische wereld nam de haat weer extreme vormen aan. Turkije (Togarma) heeft zijn ambassadeur uit Israël teruggeroepen. De Veiligheidsraad van de VN komt vandaag nog in spoedzitting bijeen om zoals gebruikelijk Israël weer aan de schandpaal te nagelen.

Special Alert: Flotilla Battle Unleashes Anti-Israel Wave

Will the media report accurately and fairly as anti-Israel activists violently resist an IDF naval boarding with tragic results?

In the early hours of Monday 31 May, Israeli naval commandos boarded a flotilla of vessels heading for Gaza. What happened next has created a major media storm as, according to reports, over a dozen anti-Israel activists have died and many more injured, including Israeli soldiers.

Israel's critics have been quick to condemn the incident, using it to inflame anti-Israel sentiment. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has already termed what is undoubtedly a serious incident as a "massacre". Will this be the latest in a long list of incidents that have been distorted and misrepresented to cause Israel the maximum amount of damage to its image?

Connected to Terror: Who is Behind the Flotilla?

The organizations and passengers behind the Gaza flotilla have been variously described as "peace activists" and "humanitarian organizations". This could not be further from the truth. The primary objective of this flotilla was not to deliver aid packages to Gaza but to spread anti-Israel propaganda in cooperation with Gaza's Hamas rulers.

Playing a central role in the flotilla is the Turkish IHH organization, which besides its legitimate philanthropic activities is also, according to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, a supporter of radical Islamic networks, including Hamas, and at least in the past, even global jihad elements.

See here and here for detailed information on the IHH.

Amongst the other organizations involved in the flotilla is the International Solidarity Movement. The ISM has a shameful record of placing foreign nationals in danger through encouraging 'direct action', which resulted in the death of American citizen Rachel Corrie. In 2003, ISM's extreme ideology was underscored when terrorists, originating from the UK, used ISM as a cover to attack Mike's Place bar in Tel Aviv, murdering three people. More recently, ISM has been a leading force in the violent protests against the security barrier at Ni'lin, while an ISM activist has been jailed in the US, charged with "giving about $20,000 to a group he knew supported Hamas."

An Al-Jazeera report from May 28, translated by MEMRI, shows activists on board before departing for Gaza, chanting Intifada songs aimed at Jews and praising martyrdom. Chants include "Intifada, intifada, intifada! Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews! The army of Mohammed will return!" relating to a seventh century massacre of Jews in Khaybar by early Muslims.

"Peace" Activists Used Deadly Violence

Despite claims that the activists on board were only prepared to resist the IDF peacefully, the reality was quite the opposite. Upon boarding the Marmara, owned and operated by the extremist IHH, Israeli naval personnel were attacked by activists who had prepared themselves with weapons including knives and clubs. This, despite the following statement from a Free Gaza spokesperson:

We were not going to pose any violent resistance. The only resistance that there might be would be passive resistance such as physically blocking the steering room, or blocking the engine room downstairs, so that they couldn't get taken over. But that was just symbolic resistance.

Is the clip below showing an IDF soldier being attacked with a crowbar "symbolic resistance"?

In addition, IDF forces apprehended two activists holding pistols. The activists took these pistols from IDF forces and apparently opened fire on the soldiers as evident by the empty pistol magazines. This goes some way to explaining the number of casualties as live fire was exchanged as IDF forces found themselves under severe threat as evidenced by the number of injured Israeli soldiers and the types of injuries. One soldier suffered a serious head injury, two others were injured by gunshots and one more was stabbed. Click here to see Israeli TV footage of Israeli soldiers under attack. Propaganda Not Humanitarianism If there was any doubt that these organizations were unconcerned with universal human rights, this was confirmed by the rejection of a request from the family of Gilad Shalit for activists to pressure Hamas to allow international organizations to bring letters and food packages to the kidnapped soldier in exchange for the family's support for the international expedition's attempt to dock in Gaza. In fact, Israel offered to transfer the supplies on the flotilla to Gaza from Ashdod port through official channels, an offer that was rejected in favor of confrontation on the part of the anti-Israel activists. As flotilla organizer Greta Berlin stated: "this mission is not about delivering humanitarian supplies, it's about breaking Israel's siege." The flotilla was clearly warned by the Israeli Navy in advance of the boarding and the offer repeated by the IDF.

A Legitimate and Legal Operation IMRA asked Hebrew University international law expert Dr. Robbie Sabel about the legality of the IDF action in international waters. Dr. Sabel explained that a state, in a time of conflict, can impose an embargo, and while it cannot carry out embargo activities in the territorial waters of a third party, it can carry out embargo activities in international waters. Within this framework it is legal to detain a civilian vessel trying to break an embargo and if in the course of detaining the vessel, force is used against the forces carrying out the detention then that force has every right to act in self defense. Dr. Sabel noted that there is a long history of embargo activities in international waters. Indeed, according to the San Remo Manual that governs international humanitarian law, it is permissible under rule 67(a) to attack neutral vessels on the high seas when the vessels "are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture." Will the Media Report Fairly? The initial pictures and reports of this incident (supplied mainly by the less than objective al-Jazeera and Turkish media) do not paint Israel in a positive light, not helped by the fluidity of the situation and conflicting information. It is the duty of the international media to report fairly and accurately. We have been here before, from incidents ranging from the al-Dura affair, the Jenin "massacre" and many other libels perpetrated by a media all too willing to take the side of those who seek to harm Israel. We hope that the media will not repeat its past mistakes. While a clearer picture of today's events may eventually emerge, the damage has already been done in the first few hours of reporting. Retractions and corrections will do little to soften the blow. Will the media take at face value the statements and anti-Israel propaganda of groups who were committed to causing an incident of this nature? Will the media join in the automatic knee-jerk anti-Israel reaction that is all too often the norm? Keep an eye on your local media to ensure that the facts behind this tragic incident are not drowned by a wave of anti-Israel sentiment. At the time of writing, the situation remains fluid. This material will be updated as and when new information becomes available. Keep checking this page for the latest information on this breaking story.

YOCHANAN VISSER - 03 MEI 2010

 Spitsnieuws in Nederland bracht afgelopen week een bericht dat eerder door de Economist de wereld was in geholpen en  door Al Jazeerah nog eens dunnetjes werd overgedaan met behulp van videobeelden.  De berichten hadden tot doel om te bewijzen dat Israël nu ook al stoplichten in Jeruzalem gebruikt om de Palestijnen te onderdrukken. Het altijd wakkere Amerikaanse Camera zaagde ook deze mythes genadeloos door. In een 4 pagina’s tellend rapport bewees Camera dat the Economist en Al Jazeera propaganda bedreven die sinds de tijd van Goebbels niet meer werd waargenomen.

Een Belgische redacteur van “Het belang van Limburg” besloot de belangen van de staat Israel verder te ondermijnen door een giftig verhaal te publiceren over “Joodse riool terreur” op de West Bank. Joden uit de slaperige kibboets Kfar Etzion zouden met hun blote handen het hoofdriool van de kibboets hebben open geschroefd na een stroomstoring in een pompstation. De stroom drek was daarop in de richting van het lager gelegen Palestijnse dorp Beit Ummar geleid.

Missing Peace de nieuwe organisatie op het gebied van echte informatie uit het Midden Oosten nam in tegenstelling tot de redacteur van HVBL wel de moeite om het verhaal na te trekken.

Het zal niemand meer verbazen dat er ook nu sprake bleek van een hoax.

Niemand in Kfar Etzion had een stroomstoring of verstopte riolen waargenomen op de kibboets de laatste maand. Het  rioolpomp station ligt bovendien twee kilometer buiten de kibboets aan de weg naar Beit Shmesh.

Eveneens bleek er geen sprake van landonteigening ten behoeve van “kolonisten”  in de buurt van Beit Ummar

De nieuwe speler op dit slagveld, Missing Peace, liet gisteren in Nederland  opnieuw van zich horen.

Deze keer bond Missing Peace de strijd aan tegen een mythe die door de Israëlische krant Ha’aretz de wereld in werd geholpen. 

Ha’aretz  bracht op 11 april 2010 een bericht over voorgenomen Israëlische massadeportaties van Palestijnen op de West Bank.

Dit bericht ging niet verloren in de lawine van voornamelijk gekleurd nieuws die een aanzienlijk deel van de media dagelijks over de hoofden van het Europese publiek uitstort.

Binnen 24 uur werd het bericht wereldwijd op honderden websites overgenomen.

De Arabische wereld rook weer een nieuwe kans om olie op het vuur van de toch al explosieve situatie in en rond Israel te gooien.

De Syrische president Assad nam het woord “etnische zuivering” in zijn mond.

PA woordvoerder Saeb Arekat, een soort hedendaagse versie van Goebbels in het Midden Oosten, vond dat nog niet genoeg en sprak theatraal over “de methodes van een Apartheid staat”.

GroenLinks was duidelijk geïnspireerd door deze nieuwe hetze tegen de Joodse staat en besloot bij de EU minister van buitenlandse zaken Ashton aan te dringen op actie tegen Israël.

Men gebruikte artikel 49 van de vierde Geneefse conventie als stok om de hond te slaan.

Het rapport dat Missing Peace gisteren uitbracht en dat op haar gloednieuwe website werd gepost laat geen spaan heel van het Ha’aretz artikel noch van de retoriek van Assad en Arekat.

Groen Links wordt er door in zijn hemd gezet als een politieke partij die geen flauw benul heeft van wat zich in werkelijk in het Midden oosten voltrekt.  Nog kwalijker is dat GroenLinks haar acties baseert op krantenkoppen en propaganda van types als Assad en Arekat .

Alsof dit nog niet allemaal erg genoeg was, werd de EU afgelopen week eveneens betrapt op een bijdrage aan de psychologische oorlog tegen Israel. 

Door de alertheid van SGP Europarlementariër Belder werd een schandaal aan het licht gebracht waarin de EU probeerde zich te mengen in interne Israëlische aangelegenheden en de persvrijheid in dat land.

De SGP-er vroeg om opheldering over een door de EU gefinancierd programma, waarin Israëlische Journalisten wordt geleerd om het Arabische vredesinitiatief te promoten in Israel.

Dit Arabische plan dateert van 2002 en zou inhouden dat Israël zich onvoorwaardelijk overgeeft aan de Arabische eisen in ruil voor een vage belofte over “normale” betrekkingen (hetgeen niet betekent einde conflict).

In Israël wordt het plan gezien als een non-starter en door vrijwel niemand serieus genomen.

Al deze incidenten betekenen bijdrages aan de psychologische oorlog tegen Israël. Een oorlog die de positie van die staat steeds verder ondermijnt. Niet alleen in het Midden-Oosten maar ook in de internationale arena.

De bron van het kwaad is steeds dezelfde, namelijk desinformatie. De gevolgen daarvan kunnen catastrofaal zijn.  Historisch is namelijk bewezen dat grote oorlogen met militaire middelen meestal worden voorafgegaan door oorlogen met woorden.

Missing Peace heeft dus voorlopig werk zat.

05.29.2010

Today, the Obama administration voted in favor of international inspections of Israel's nuclear program. This came after the Obama administration said it would not support an initiative that singled out Israel.  In fact, National Security Adviser Jim Jones said such an initiative was counterproductive. There are reports that Israel was assured that the Obama administration would support Israel's objection.

But once again, the Obama administration lied and voted in favor of a resolution that singles out Israel for inspections and does not mention Iran's nuclear program. After the vote, Obama said he would do nothing to harm Israel. This is like after stabbing Caesar, Brutus vows to defend Caesar.

This damaging stunt was sprung while Prime Minister Netanyahu is in North America on his way to Washington. The Prime Minister's office is saying he will be looking for assurances from the man who just stabbed him and Israel in the back.

When is Israel going to wake up. Obama will continue to stab Israel in the back as long as Israel refuses to fight back. Being a lapdog to Obama is a dangerous role. Unfortunately the whole nation of Israel is at risk.

RTL 4 Nieuws betrapt op leugens over Israël

YOCHANAN VISSER - 26 MEI 2010

Het nieuwe informatieproject Missing Peace in Jeruzalem, kwam de leugens op het spoor nadat een wantrouwende RTL 4 TV kijker de reportage opstuurde naar Missing Peace. Daarop stelde een team van Missing Peace een onderzoek ter plekke in.

De snelweg 443 is al jaren niet meer toegankelijk voor Palestijnse auto’s na een serie moorden op Israëlische automobilisten tijdens de tweede Intifada. Op last van het Israëlische Hooggerechtshof werkt het Israëlische leger al sinds april aan de aanleg van nieuwe afslagen en controleposten op de weg nabij Palestijnse dorpen.

Mus verborg in zijn reportage de beelden van deze voorbereidingen en beschuldigde het Israëlische leger van het volstrekt negeren van het rechtbesluit. Ook vertelde hij de Nederlandse kijkers dat er geen uitzicht was op snelle opening van de weg. Dit commentaar sprak hij uit vlakbij het Palestijnse dorp Beit Sira waar arbeiders op dat moment volop aan het werk waren om de weg te openen.  In het rapport presenteert Missing Peace fotobewijs waaruit duidelijk blijkt dat RTL 4 loog en manipuleerde om Israël zwart te maken.

Missing Peace vroeg RTL 4 om rectificatie van de onjuiste beweringen in de reportage, een reactie bleef echter uit.

Het volledige Missing Peace rapport  waarin ook de RTL 4 reportage is opgenomen, is te lezen op:

Introduction

Shabbat shalom brethren and sisters and welcome to the second part of our study of the Bozrah Breakout ¹.

The Copenhagen Climate Fiasco

Those of you who have been following the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15) will, I hope, join with me in celebrating the failure of the Global Élite to succeed in the major leap forward they planned for in their New World Order. Indeed the satanic Élite are barely concealing their agenda now as Lord Christopher Monckton brazenly stated that the purpose of COP15 was not to save the environment from so-called carbon dioxide poisoning but to implememnt a framework for funding a one world government ². Though the Conference collapsed following a leak that showed how the Élite was planning to secretly make the Third World countries pay more than the rich First World ones, the globalists did get their 'framework' in place. It is now a rush by the industrialists and banksters to establish a dictatorship before the whole conspiracy is exposed by the media which is slowly beginning to wake up to the fraud. In their arrogance and greed the Élite got ahead of themselves and provoked a wave of fury from China and the African nations who rightly walked out of the conference. In the meantime we are going to be taxed into poverty to fund this satanic world government under the false pretext that humans are responsible for global warming ³.

How Were We Duped?

How has the world been so easily duped by the Élite? Simple: in rejecting Yah'shua the Messiah people have sought an alternative religion to fill in the spiritual gap - not the tradional religions but the humanistic religion of environmentalism. People are back to worshipping nature again though they don't yet realise it. It is only a matter of time before we see atheistic ⁴ humanism mutating into pantheism and thence into raw satanism...in small incremental steps. The Global Élite are not humanist-atheists except when it suits them though they like to present themselves as being so so as not to appear to be religious to the unreligious. Hitler (also an Illuminist) used the same trick - to Catholics he claimed to be Catholic, to pagans he claimed to be pagan ⁵.

Why Has Christianity Been Impotent?

In the face of this assault, why has Christianity been so impotent? One atheist observed:

Cheap Grace and Antinomianism

This atheist makes excellent points for what he is describing is antinomian or lawless Christianity - in other words, Christianity without repentance and holiness. Little wonder atheists are so sceptical and cynical when they watch the cheap-grace lifestyle of the majority of nominal orthodox Christians - they can see the falsehoods of Christian claims to have been changed by Yah'shua and the hypocrisy of claiming one thing and doing another, something that a Torah-obedient lifestyle would alter. The same atheist continues:

Well he's half right here. In fact true repentance does lead to a change in behaviour and a cessation of sinning. True contrition and belief leads to a changed lifestyle. We will only ultimately win the hardcore sceptics to Christ if we demonstrate a changed lifestyle that makes a difference in the world.

Atheism is Not Natural and is Not the Main Problem

We need not suppose, moreover, that atheism is as powerful a force as atheists would have us believe. When the Soviet Union and its imposed atheism collapsed two decades ago, about 70% of the population considered themselves to be atheiets. With the artificial constraints removed, Russia has now become a nation where over 70% are now Christians again, and specifically members of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Donkeys More Popular Than Atheism in England

Stewart Brand's hippie response to the decline of Christianity 30 years ago, "We are as gods, and might as well get good at it" seems rather vacuous in retrospect. With Richard Dawkins being touted as the first modern 'atheist evangelist' and the atheists boasting that they are now able to raise £90,000 through campaigning to get funding for the atheist cause, we need to get things into perspective somewhat. The British Humanist Association's last published membership figure was a mere 5,000 souls, which is dwarfed by the active, giving membership of organised religions in the UK: more than half a million people give more than £8 a week, every week, to the Church of England. In fact, the donkey sanctuary in Sidmouth raised more than £20 million last year, proving that the British people at least care about 200 times more about the suffering of dumb animals than the distress of smart atheists who want to ban religion altogether ⁶. People still have the common sense to make donations for causes than against them. However you try to present it, atheism and humanism just do not stirr the philanthropic hearts of people - they remain essentially a rebellion against the truth, making the welfare of suffering donkeys a greater truth than their own if the behaviour of the public's wallet is anything to go by.

Only Religion Inspires the Soul

You're probably wondering why I am even talking about this today. Well, there is nothing more motivating to people than religion whether it is true or false religion. Humanism and atheism of themselves do not inspire the soul whereas something more tangible like Environmentalism does. And even though it presents itself as 'science' it is in truth approached by people more out of a religious framework - and when it comes to the claim that global warming is humanity's fault, people start getting messianic complexes and want to start 'saving the world' based not on scientific data but on blind faith. Actually, we aren't capable of saving the world anyway - even that is too big for us.

Chernobyl and the New CO₂ Religion

A few weeks ago I was watching a documentary about Chernobyl as it is today, the scene of a nuclear explosion in the Ukrainian part of the former Soviet Union. The place has been deserted now since 1986, for over 20 years. The scientific wisdom of man declared that it would be uninhabitable for centuries. But in actual fact nature has completely taken over and the area has returned to its pre-civilised state, and seemingly none the worse for the nuclear holocaust that drove the humans out. Nature has incredible resiliance and whilst Wiccans and others might be tempted to worship it for this very reason, it in fact attests to the cleansing power of Yahweh resident in His created world. Nature has for the most part taken care of the mess and whilst the area is still contaminated by nuclear fallout it is considerably lower than was forecast for 20 years on.

Man Makes a Poor Saviour

The point is, man was not responsible as a saviour for cleaning up this mess that he made - and the idea that he can control carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission on the planet is just lunacy. Even if he spent every cent he had on reducing CO₂ emissions he would not substantially reduce the CO₂ levels in the atmosphere or have any effect on reducing global warming. The new 'Al Gore CO₂ Religion' is just a fairytale concocted by the Global Élite to economically fleece the world in order to finance its planned worldwide dictatorship. And sadly the world has fallen for it because of carefully orchestrated propaganda and the suppressing of true scientific data.

Humanism Has Failed

No, humanism has not managed to successfully surgically remove religion from the soul of man - it has merely deflected it elsewhere and in the West specifically away from Christianity and towards the goal of the Élite: Luciferiniasm. And aiding this satanic deception has been a religious organisation with tentacles across the world and in all aspects of society that pretends at being 'Christian' when it is in truth a counterfeit, an organisation that has played a major rôle in the formation of the new EU and which it hopes to at some point dominate.

Revelation on the Prophetic Meaning of CO₂



 

As I was meditating on this new 'CO₂ Religion' whilst preparing this sermon and wondering if CO₂ might have any occult significance, I remembered that this element has the atomic number 6, the spiritual number of man. Not only that, but in its crystalline form carbon is hexagonal, the hexagram being the favourite occult symbol of satanists used for conjuring up demons. Furthermore, carbon has 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons - 666, the number of the Beast (Rev.13:18) and the number of man as Elohim (God)! It is familiar to us as both jet-black coal and transparent diamond, two huge contrasts. Carbon is the element-base of all living things.



 

'What spiritual significance then,' I thought to myself, could oxygen have? Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 which in biblical symbolism denotes the resurrection. It possesses 8 electrons, 8 protons and 8 neutrons - 888 - which in Greek New Testament Theomatics ⁷ represents the Messiah (Christ). In its crystalline form, oxygen (O₂) is cubic, an 8-sided geometric figure. Oxygen too is the basis of all animal life.

The Religion of Self

Could the enemy want man to unknowingly worship CO₂ by devoting his passion to it because its carbon component depicts man proclaiming himself to be Elohim (God) and its double oxygen component depicting self-resurrection? Does not the Bible record the Antichrist dying from a fatal wound and then coming back to life again? Could this inadvertant worship of a molecule, which the Global Élite wants us to sacrifice our wealth and prosperity for (bankruping the Western nations and impoverishing the world) be a type of the worship of self, leading to self-impoverishment, creaying an even greater spiritual vacuum in man, which in the absence of Christianity will lead him straight into the arms of satanism? And why two oxygen atoms? Because in this false religion there are two resurrections: the counterfeit 'resurrection' of the Beast (Rev.13:3,12,14) and the 'resurrection' to new life of the counterfeit Christian system which will gain power in the new Europe for a while. Al Gore's religion ⁸ (which has made him a billionnaire, incidentally) may thus assume a prophetic dimension which has not previously been considered.

Al Gore as a 666

Now I don't usually speculate in prophecy - there's already too much of that going on which for the most part is both a waste of time and usually wrong - but I do like to make obervations and just leave them with people to mull over. Al Gore and his ilk are the 'men of the moment' as far as climate change and the NWO are concerned. For those of you who know something about the mathematics of computing you will know that computer systems use the ASCII code - the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. - if you string together the letters of Al Gore (a-l-g-o-r-e) and then add up the ASCII value for each letter in his name you arrive at the number 666. Now I am not saying that Al Gore is the 'antichrist' but I do believe he is one of the many hundreds or thousands of antichrist 'types' that are floating around and vigorously promoting the Beast System. That's why so many people fit the '666 profile' and why so many men have been misidentified as the Antichrist.

The '666 Profile'

Let's see how those who belong to the enemy 'fit' into the prophetic type. Let us take a look at the prophecy:

The Seven Heads/Mountains: The G-7

The seven heads are seven mountains and seven kings, that is, ruling nations and world leaders. You may, for example, have heard of the 'G-7' nations, an organisation formed in 1976 consisting of the finance ministers of the seven leading industrialised nations - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain and the United States. There is also a 'G-8' that includes Russia but this is mostly symbolic as Russia has no real power in the international economic sphere. A 'G-20' also exists consiting of the G-7 nations plus international central bank governors representing 20 different economies which together represent about 85% of global GNP (Gross National Product ) and about two-thirds of the world population ⁹. However, the real power is generally agreed to be resident in the G-7.

The Rebirth of the Roman Empire

At the time John wrote this revelation, the Roman Empire was the 'sixth king' ("one is"). The one who had "not yet come" is awaited today and is, in the opinion of many commentators, the expected one world ruler or Antichrist - the one who is "going to perdition". The "seven mountains" are interpreted by the majority of Protestant and Messianic commentators to refer to the seven hills of Rome. The only contemporary system that is based in, or originated from, Rome is the Vatican and the European Union which was formed there in embryonic form when the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957 by six nations ¹⁰. When Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark and Greece joined in 1986 to form a 10 nation-strong European Economic Community, the last of the 7 key nations from Europe - Great Britain - was present, making Europe the 10-horned beast system.

The Seat of Satan is in the EU

When East Germany was annexed to West Germany in 1990, the EU acquired all of Berlin and long with it the Seat (or Throne) of Satan (Rev.2:12-17). The EU therefore became the 'Beast System' in 1990. It has expanded to include 27 countries since 2007 and will continue to expand. When all of the European states have been absorbed there will be 40 constituent nations, itself a prophetic number indicating exile and purging.

The Ten Horns

So the beast has both 7 heads and 10 horns and the heads wear the diadems. The heads represent the true place of power of the Antichrist - the G-7 together are still more powerful than the EU 'ten'. But should, for instance, the USA collapse, and with it Canada and Japan (with whom it has close economic ties), then the power would shift to the 10-horned EU. This may explain why in Revelation 12:3 the 7 heads appear to be more important whereas in Revelation 13:1 the 10 horns are more important. The seven kings are the heads of state (Presidents and Prime Ministers) of the 7 most powerful economic nations in the world.

The EU therefore has power "with" the Beast and therefore does not represent the Beast but will have their own Kingdom some day. Might that have begun to occur on 1 December 2009? Time will surely tell and sooner than we may thing.

Identifying the 'Antichrist Company'

Now let us return to Al Gore. Apart from his name adding up to 666 in ASCII, what other signs are there that he is one of the Antichrist Company?

False Resurrection Signs and the Seven Principles of Sin

One of the characteristics of the 'Antichrist Company' is a false 'resurrection sign' which parallels of counterfeits of the genuine resurrection of Yah'shua the Messiah. Did Al Gore fulfil this critereon? Very definitely. But before we look at that I need to explain that the revelations we are examining have different levels of meaning depending on what aspect you are looking at. Thus the Seven Kings also represent Seven Principles of Sin which traditionally we call the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. These are:

Demonic 'Loss' and 'Restoration'

Every antichrist suffers some terrible 'loss' to then have it 'miraculously' resurrected or restored. Gore was dealt an apparently fatal blow in the political arena when he was soundly defeated in his bid to become President of the United States, having Hilary Clinton (wife of his former chief) and Barak Obama to contend with (both of whom were successful). His fatal wound was to Hubris - to the head of the Presidency. After eight years as Vice President he disappeared into obscurity for several years, his 'political death', as it were. His master had other plans for him and a different President in mind (Obama, destroyer of the independent and sovereign American Republic).

'An Inconvenient Truth'

But Gore is healed now and is even more full of Hubris (Pride) than ever before. He has made a movie (An Inconvenient Truth ¹¹) full of pseudo-science and totally unjustified alarmist propaganda which has not only got him much ill-gotten acclaim but as I already mentioned has made him a billionnaire and unquestionably a member of the Élite rich. He's even been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize (Obama beat him to that one) and an Academy Award. I think Gore was being lined up by the Élite for the Antichrist position but didn't cut it (like so many others jostling for that position) - now he is being outshone by his rival Barak Obama. That's how the Élite plays the game, setting up rivals in the scramble for power. Gore finds himself in a submissive position albeit it high above many of his rivals. He has been cajoling and threatening as recently as the Copenhagen Summit for world government and has served as a useful cog in the machinery of the Illuminati to get financing for their World Government viâ his CO₂ alarmism. He is not, as some have suggested, the Antichrist any more than Obama is. They are but stooges. Far worse is yet to come.

The 'Death' and 'Resurrection' of Other Recent Politicians

Other politicians have 'died' and been 'resurrected'. British Prime Minister Neil Kinnock ¹² suffered a similar fate but rose to power in the EU. So did Tony Blair ¹³, now a very rich man who had hoped to become the first President of the European Union (he also made a sudden convension to Catholicism ¹⁴ after he left power, something that should be carefully noted) - however the Élite did not want someone of his charisma at this stage (as he was unpopular in the UK) so they have settled on a faceless symbolic puppet, Herman van Rumpoy of Belgium ¹⁵, an unelected ex-Prime Minister-hopeful rewarded for his services to the Élite, who will be forgotten and replaced by more and more credible personalities in time.

Dictatorial Behaviours

I predict that a similar 'reward' will be awaiting the current UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown ¹⁶ who, along with Blair, enabled Britain to be forced into the EU without the referendum his Labour Party had promised to give the British people. These dictatorial behaviours are all signs of the 'antichrist spirit'. The British Conservatives, despite promising a Referendum, have not stood in the way of the EU either, leaving only the UK Independence Party (UKIP) ¹⁷ as the only surviving champion of democracy. As in the United States, the mainstream parties (Republican and Democrat) are now fully infiltrated and controlled instruments of the Élite.

Satanic Authority and Power

One of the characteristics of those who belong to the 'Antichrist Company' (they are the devilish equivalent and opposite of the 'Little Company' or 'Remnant' of true believers - Rom.11:5) is that they are given a measure of satanic authority and power:

Arrogance and Bullying: Characteristics of the Antichrist Company

Gore has tremendous authority and power now because of his Global Warming teachings because they have assumed religious dimensions, and he is showing it by his ever ever greater arrogance and bullying - that too is a characteristic of the 'Antichrist Company' (as a false prophet) - they get progressively more arrogant and conceited. He will not allow scientists who challenge his theories to be heard and has oppenly threatened them. The 'Global Warming Alarmists' are committing the same sin of Hubris as their mentor, Al Gore, who occupies a position not dissimilar to that of a prophet, because they believe (wrongly) that they have the power to 'save' the earth as 'messiahs'. Just this characteristic alone sets them apart as antichrists. Contrast this behaviour with Vacláv Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, a very humble man who has himself written a book exposing the Global Warming fraud ¹⁸. The Élite will be wanting to remove him as soon as possible and get a stooge instated in his place. Keep an eye on the Czechs - they know what it is like to be betrayed, first in 1938 by the West to the nazis and then in 1948 to the communists.

Al Gore's False Prophetic Vision

Just as the Book of Revelation records bona fide visions from Yahweh to the apostle John, so the movie, An Inconvenient Truth is in effect a 'prophetic vision' from Satan to Al Gore. Eschatoligists turn to the Book of Revelation for guidance about the end-times just as the devotees of Gore use his movie to get a [false] vision of what is and is to come if they don't assume a messianic mantle and 'save the earth'. When man assumes a pretended messianic mantle then he, man (6), makes himself out to be Elohim/God (666) - he makes himself out to be a christ. In the demonic system there are millions of 'christs' (just as there are in the New Age) whereas in the true system there is only one Christ, Yah'shua the Messiah. The difference between the two is that man turns to himself for salvation in the demonic version and to Yah'shua in the true one.

Many 'Ace Cards' in the Demonic Pack

Satan, as we have seen, plays many cards and used many systems simultaneously and then pits them one against the other and lets the stronger crush the weaker - this is part of the competitve system of demonic 'sport'. Therefore he has no compunction in allowing systems which he has himself created be crushed, along with the men and women who are seduced by and into them. The 'name of the satanic game' is to destroy mankind.

Demonic 'Great Signs'

Now obviously in order to be credible Satan has to demonstrate "great signs" or the religiously-minded masses will not blindly follow. The function of the second beast from the earth is to provide these signs. Amongst these 'signs' is the screwed 'evidence' shown in Gore's movie, An Undeniable Truth. Those who challenge his presentation are now being equated with 'holocaust-deniers' and it may just be a matter of time before such are deemed mentally ill and carted off to government psychiatric institutions. The second beast works fast:

Lesser and Greater Signs

Gore's movie is just one of many 'signs' that are being unleashed on the unsuspecting and scientifcially uncritical public. Is this the only 'sign'? Of course not. "Greater" signs will be required as the people become more suspicious (and religious) who will demand greater evidence that their lords and masters are who they claim to be - their saviours. Satan will save his 'best' until 'last' because he will not be able to outmatch the greatest Sign of all, the Second Coming of Yah'shua the Messiah, which no one will be able to deny. By then it will be too late for the unsaved to exercise faith unto salvation because there will be no more dispensed salvation when Yah'shua appears. Satan knows this so he must keep the people duped and ration his resources of deception as best he can, whether it be supposed human culpability in global warming, the rapture, or whatever. Once a sign has been used and doubt begins to expose it, he will not be able to use it again. Fire out of heaven will be his last 'trick', mimicking what the prophet Elijah did, but he won't be using that until toward the very end (Rev.13:13). Satan knows people, how far they can be pushed, how long they can be duped and their faith stretched out in his vacuum of lies.

The Marking Has Already Begun

It will be interesting to see what the next phase is going to be. We are actually already being 'marked'. The current one is the 'AGW-Mark' or 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' Mark. Those who believe Gore are being marked as sympathisers of the Élite and those who do not as their enemies. Other 'marks' of identifiction will appear, depending what the Élite want to force on us. These marks are spiritual, mental, emotional and ultimately physical. So taking a stand against the idolatrous Global Warming Religion is very important - those who go down that road will follow down other ones until they are completely removed from the Kingdom of Yahweh and belong body-and-soul to the enemy.

Christian Environmentalists

I have to repeat here that I am absolutely an environmentalist. I do believe in protecting the environment and see that as one of our stewardships from Yahweh. But I believe in protecting it from real and not imaginary dangers. Industrialists shouldn't be allowed to dump poisonous chemicals into our rivers and atmosphere. I was in East Europe at the end of the communist era and experienced environmental poisoning first hand. Carbon dioxide, unlike carbon monoxide (CO), is not a poison - it's one of the building blocks of life. Without it there would be no oxygen for us to breathe. Indeed, the more CO₂ there is in the atmosphere, the faster plants grow, and the faster our forests grow. The more CO₂ we have, the greener our planet becomes. In fact researchers have discovered that plants are growing faster than they are dying because of the high levels of CO₂ ¹⁹. And with all the deforesetation going on, isn't that something we should welcome rather than have irrational religious fits? Of course it is.

What the Élite Feel About the Climate

The Élite, incidentally, couldn't give a fig for the climate, and have actually been the cause of the environmental pollution that we already see through their greedy industrial drives. They make themselves out to be one thing though they are something quite different. They have the mentality of the Edomite and are only considering #1, themselves. They will happly sell the truth and blessings of the Kingdom of Yahweh, as Esau did, for a bowl of red soup. Like Esau, they are the 'Restless Ones', hungry and greedy for more power and more wealth. They love the thrill of dominating others, making them the Ultimate Cult of Cults. You see it in their impatience for 'change' which was why this was Obama's election slogan. Yes, they want change, but not the kind of change that leads to blessing mankind but that which enslaves him. ²⁰

The Fulfillment of Isaac's Prophecy to Esau

The Élite are fulfilling Isaac's prophecy to his dispossessed son Esau. They have already thrown off, for the most part, the yoke of bondage of Jacob because they despise his gentleness and his righteousness. They want everything for themselves and they want it now. They are not a caring and nurturing people like the descendants of Jacob. The Edomite Élite mean to enslave the Jacob people and to do it as quickly and as devastatingly as they can and in a way that Jacob doesn't know what's happening to him. And then, at the end, "the Breaker", Yah'shua the Messiah, intervenes, delivers Jacob and crushes Edom forever. The Élite are doomed but only those highest up know that. Like the nazis towards the end of World War II, they are telling themselves to 'enjoy the war while you can'. They have no intention of repenting or surrendering because they are so consumed by pride, just as Lucifer was when he fell. They are in bondage to Hubris through and through.

What Does Modern Jerusalem Mean Prophetically?

Last week we saw that Edom and Bozrah in the messianc prophecies were not the literal places which are no more. Unlike Bozrah, though, Jerusalem still exists as an inhabited city in our world. It is not, as many Messianics wrongly believe, the Jerusalem whose peace Scripture says we should be praying for - that was destroyed completely by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago along with its temple. The Jerusalem that is today corresponds to the bondwoman Hagar and belongs to the former covenant which is no more:

The Jerusalem Above

Zionist Messianics and Evangelicals are looking in the wrong place - we are to look above from whence the New Jerusalem is coming in which is found our inheritance as believers in the Master Yah'shua the Messiah. Too all intents and purposes, then, the earthly Jerusalem is an archaeological relic like Bozrah in which human happen to be living today, but no longer the covenant people of Yahweh. It is of great interest to the Élite who are using it as a counterfeit of the real one and as a means of fomenting war and creating instability in the world. And spiritually, Jerusalem and the Israeli Republic are being used to deflect us from our one and only commission from Yah'shua, which is to make disiciples of all nations:

All Nations are Equal

Flee from those Messianics who tell you to immigrate to the Israeli Republic and support the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) against Muslims. We are not to be partisan in wordly conflicts but to sow the peace of the Gospel of Yah'shus the Messiah to Israeli Jews and Muslim Arabs alike since both are unsaved. Get your spiritual eyes focussed above, not below! Yahweh will take care of his Holy Land real estate in His own way and not through worldly governments.

What the Bible Says About Hagar's Jerusalem

Is Hagar's Jerusalem mentioned in prophecy that is to be fulfilled? Absolutely:

The Believers Come with Yahweh to Jerusalem

Where are the saints or set-apart ones, the true believers? Are they in this Jerusalem under siege? No, they are "with [Yahweh]", coming with Him. Zionists claim that these are exclusively the resurrected believers but that is pure assumption. So why is Yahweh here "fight[ing] against those nations" who are besieging Jerusalem? Is it to guard His 'holy city'? ²¹ Why do half the inhabitants go into captivity? Why is this new valley being created? Why is this event being compared to the times of King Uzziah?

The King Uzziah Factor

Uzziah, you will recall, began well but his heart was lifted up in pride causing him to repeat the sin of King Saul:

The City of Disobedience

Hagar-Jerusalem is not only being taken into captivity but it is being levelled by an earthquake similar to the one which stuck in the days of Uzziah, the rebellious Yahweh-inflicted Leper-King. There is nothing good, holy, set-apart or sanctified about this city that Yahweh would preserve. Indeed He is saving the remnant of Hagar-Jerusalem through this new valley for reasons known only to Himself. So what is happening here? Hagar-Jerusalem below, the city of disobedience and violated covenants, is being removed in prepartion for Sarah-Jerusalem above, the city of righteousness and purity crafted in the presence of Yahweh Himself! It is being cleared away before the Heavenly or New Jerusalem arrives! All of it! It is part of the Edomite inheritance and must be entirely removed, just as the Romans removed it two millennia ago, only this time the removing power is Yahweh and He brings cleansing with Him, not defilement.

Get Out of Rosthschild Hagar-Jerusalem!

You do not want to be in Hagar-Jerusalem when Yah'shua returns with His Own - rather, you want to be with 'His Own', the 'Bozrah Company' - both the resurrected and the mortal 144,000 ²² - when He returns with the New Jerusalem from Heaven. Modern-day Hagar-Jerusalem belongs to the Rothschilds and others of the satanic Élite - it is of no interest to us whatsoever. There is no temple of Yahweh there, and never will be again. Rather, Hagar-Jerusalem is full of satanic temples like the Israeli Supreme Couirt Building that contains an Egyptian obelisk and Pyramid, an inverted Cross, Hindu altars, fertility symbols and much else besides ²³. The Egyptian obelisk is the most prominent, confirming that this is the city of Hagar the Egyptian slave. The Jerusalem you see to day is Satan's counterfeit 'New Jerusalem' and I am sure spectacular 'signs' will be presented to demonstrate to the world that it is in fact Yahweh's when it is not. He may even attempt to 'bring something down out of heaven' to counterfeit the real New Jerusalem-to-come.



 

Israeli Republic and Global Warming

The Israeli Republic is marching to the same tune as the Élitists in Europe and America when it comes to global warming, as you would expect. There is nothing special about them when it comes to Al Gore's religion though they too have their dissenting voices ²⁴.

Stand with Honest Scientists

I believe that this 'worship of the environment', which happens to be based on a lie, is the current global 'sin of the moment'. It has to be repented of, especially by believers in Yah'shua. Just as in the realm of theology, we must also be open to the truth of science when the data is clear. Since we proclaim 'all truth' in this ministry, we must also proclaim scientific truth as well as spiritual, because they're all conneted. And we must stand with those scientists - believers and unbelievers alike - who refuse to be bullied by the Globalist Élite and want honesty in their profession. There's enough dishonesty in religion and politics as it is and we don't need any more in science ²⁵. We need to pray for these scientists that they don't lose their funding or jobs because they refuse to be bullied into supporting a lie. We can respect and support men and women of courage everywhere. And especially let us support Christian and Messianic scientists who want to witness amongst their colleagues and bring them into the 'Bozrah Company' which will be saved from out of the darkness that is envelopping the world.

Conclusion

I will have more to say about this next week as we continue our study of the 'Bozrah Breakout'. It is important in the meantime that you remain informed, that you are not afraid to do what is right when important choices need to be made. Keep your eyes on Yah'shua and on the Heavenly New Jerusalem, separate yourself from the beast system growing around us, and evangelise as best you can to win souls for the Master. May Yahweh bless you and keep you all in Yah'shua's Name. Amen.

19 December 2009
The Bozrah Breakout  -  Part 1: Recognising Latter-Day Edom

Introduction

Shabbat Shalom kol beit Yisra'el and welcome back to our weekly assembly. Since we are nearly at the end of the secular year I thought a few words about the end-times might be appropriate while the militarism of Hanukkah wears off and before the idolatry of Christmas sets in.

Emergence of a United States of Europe

Today I wish to address a topic that has moreorless been thrust upon me because of the rife speculation in Messianic and other circles that the ratification of the European Union's Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009 is the beginning of an important chapter in world history that will see the visible emergence of the end-time Beast Nation. Many are saying that what we are witnessing is not only the beginnings of a new superpower akin to a 'United States of Europe' but perhaps more ominously the last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire and the Antichrist State that will eventually unify the whole world into a single government called the 'New World Order' (NWO).

A New Nazi Germany?

Messianics in particular are claiming that the real power behind the EU is Germany and what what we are seeing is the resurrection of a German - and in particular a Nazi - superpower that has stealthily re-established the Holy Roman Empire under the guise of a Federal Europe. They are even claiming that the Germans are the ancient Assyrian oppressors of Israel who are about to precipitate World War 3 and a second Jewish holocaust. And many of these Messianics are turning to the late Herbert W. Armstrong of the Worldwide Church of God who made predictions of a revived Nazi Germany. ¹

Objections to Anti-Germanism

There are numerous objections to these ideas which need stating here and now:

1. Right- and left-wing extremism always emerge in times of economic depression - the rise of neo-nazism in Germany is paralleled by similar movements in all European countries like the British National Party;

2. Right-wing extremists represent a tiny minority in Germany and other European countries. The vast majority of people these days are liberals unlike the former Weimar Republic between the two world wars which had substantial numbers of extremists in both the Communist and Nazi parties as well;

3. As we have proved, the German people are descendants of Israel, and in particular, the tribe of east Manasseh ² and therefore we want nothing to do with this anti-Germanism any more than we want anything to do with so-called anti-Semitism;

4. Since the Scandinavians (Norwegians, Danes, Swedes and Icelanders), Dutch, Flems, and English are all Germanic tribes descended from the Germans, it is absurd to suggest that the Germans are Assyrians while the Scandinavians, Dutch and English are Israelites! How could Israelites be descended from Assyrians?

5. As we have also proved, the vast majority of modern Jews are not related to the Jews or Judahites of biblical times ³ so what happened during World War 2 and what is happening today in Europe cannot be a 'continuation' of the struggle between Assyria and 10-Tribed Israel because those who are accused of being 'Assyrians' are themselves Israelites - the terrible world wars in Europe have rather been Israelite Inter-Tribal Civil Wars caused by Satan blinding Israel's heart.

Errors of Armstrongism and Anti-Germanism

Though Herbert W. Armstrong was right about a number of things in the theological field ⁴ he was notoriously wrong when it came to prophetic matters ⁵. His contemporary supporters continue to ignore this and perpetuate the myth that he was some kind of prophet. That Messianics would recommend his materials is therefore not only highly alarming but does call into question their spirit of discernment. We must see beyond the sensationalism and propaganda and get to the real 'Plain Truth' ⁶. This reflex attitude of Jews and Messianics to demonise all things German has to stop for not only does it represent an antichrist spirit but it fogs up a true understanding of eschatology and promotes hate. The issue is not one of Germans vs. Jews but of the unsaved vs. the saved of all nations, kindreds and tongues. In the New Covenant there is neither Jew nor Greek/Gentile (Gal.3:28; Col.3:11) - we are all one as believers. Therefore we will permit no racial or national chauvanism in this ministry.

The European Union as a Political State has Arrived

One thing we can be certain of is that a little over two weeks ago the constituent nations of the European Union (EU) ceased to be sovereign states. We who live in Europe now certainly belong to a new political entity. We live in a federal state called the European Union in which countries like Britain, France, Italy and Sweden are no longer nations but more akin to the individual states of the United States of America, even though the illusion that they are autonomous states will continue to be propagated for a number of years. The power that once belonged to London, Paris, Rome and Stockholm has now been relocated to the symbolic capitals of the new Union, Brussels and Strasbourg (Straßburg).

The Leading Players of the EU

That a resurrected and empowered Germany will play - and has already played - a leading rôle in the new European superstate is not denied but it is not the sole power in Europe: the other key players are Great Britain, France and Italy - and in particular, the Vatican, headquarters of the international Roman Catholic Church which will enable the EU to one day become the centre of a politically and religiously united planet. And in the world of finance, Jewish financiers like the Rothschilds continue to dominate our economies. If we are to make any sense of what is going on, we have to see beyond the smokescreens of 'nazism' and 'anti-semitism' which are being used to conceal the real machinations of the hidden power élites.

What are the Signs of the Times for Gathering?

I am sure that you, like me, are interested in knowing what the "signs of the times" (Mt.16:3) are so that we can measure where we are on the prophetic timetable. With some Messianics scrambling to relocate to the Republic of Israel or to Petra in Jordan (which is the last place anyone should be going to - that's like the American couple who relocated to Iwo Jima to find a safe haven before Word War 2 erupted), and prophetically-minded Evangelicals telling Americans and Canadians to 'head for the mountains', we need to be quite sure what's going on so that we don't do anything foolhardy. Yes, there definitely will be a time to gather into places of safety but unless we know where and when we are not only going to make fools of ourselves but likely endanger our families too. People who act precipitously and without proper revelation understandably earn for themselves the label of 'cult' from a hedonistic world which wants to put down Christianity and not be reminded of its sins. Christians without true prophetic authority are a liability and a hindrance to the Gospel message. We therefore need to make absolutely sure we know what we are doing. Granted mistakes have been, and will be, made by over-zealous believers, but the important thing is to learn from, and not repeat, them.

Before we take a closer look at the Holy Roman Empire and the theory that it has been resurrected following the signing of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009, we need to disprove the claims being made by Messianics that we must head to the Negev Desert or to Petra in Jordan. There may well be a new Middle Eastern War at any time too, and probably within the next two years!

The Truth About Petra/Bozrah

Messianics urging their flocks to emmigrate to the Negev Desert or to Petra in the Kingdom of Jordan (a Muslim country, incidentally) base their justification on the second chapter of Micah:

"I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men" (Mic.2:12, KJV).

Bozrah is ancient capital of Edom and literally means an 'enclosure' or 'sheep fold'. Many modern translations (including Messianic ones like the OJB, ISRV and HRV) simply render bozrah as 'fold' and not as a proper place name. Indeed ancient Bozrah looked much like a sheep pen, posessing a narrow entrance leading to a large enclosure with cliffs all around, making it an ideal defensive position. It has become famous in modern times as a major tourist attraction because of its ancient buildings carved out of sold rock in the cliff faces ⁷:

"I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make a loud noise because of so many people" (Mic.2:12, NKJV).

Bozrah in Prophecy

That matter aside, there are a couple of other prophetic passages that speak of the literal Bozrah, today known as Petra, from the Greek meaning 'rock':

"The sword of Yahweh is filled with blood, it is made overflowing with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom" (Isa.34:6, NKJV).

Here Bozrah the capital and Edom the land are being used synonymously. Edom as a political state no longer exists in the modern world, its former geographical territory being divided between the modern day Republic of Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan.

Edomites Converted to Judaism by Force

The original Edomites were forcibly converted by the sword, circumised, and turned into Jews by the Maccabees. They have, to all intents and purposes, merged with Jewry and disappeared as a separate race. Wherever you find Jews you will therefore find Edomites mixed together with the orignal Judahites and the mediaeval Khazar converts and modern converts from around the world. And who was the orginal Edomite? Esau, the brother of Jacob. To understand better who Esau is today, please see my series of sermons, Jacob's Trouble ⁸. Bozrah-Edom is indeed a political power today having the rulership in the contemporary Republic of Israel and holding the balance of power in both the United States and the European Union too. Unless we understand this we are going to be looking in the wrong places for an understanding of prophetic scripture.

End-Time Bozrah

The most dramatic prophetic imagery of Bozrah/Edom comes a little later in the same book of Isaiah which clear messianic content. This is interpreted by the 'Petra Refuge' adherents to mean that true believers (Messianic Israelites) will be gathered to Petra (Bozrah), be cornered by antichrist forces, and then dramatically rescued by Yah'shua:

"Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One who is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? -- 'I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.' Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? 'I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, and trampled them in My fury; their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My robes. For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. I looked, but there was no one to help, and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; and My own fury, it sustained Me. I have trodden down the peoples in My anger, made them drunk in My fury, and brought down their strength to the earth'" (Isa.63:1-6, NKJV)

Yah'shua in Red Garments

But is this what the passage means? Let us examine it more closely. To begin with, there can be no doubt that there is a connection between it and a passage in the Apocalypse of John:

"He (Yah'shua) was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of Elohim. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations" (Rev.19:13-15, NKJV).

Esau the 'Red Man'

Yah'shua's Second Coming, unlike His First, is to be one of Power and Conquest. The Lamb of the First Coming is returning as the Lion of Judah. Thus His robes are "dipped in blood" and He is attended by heavenly armies. Whose blood is this? We get a clue from Esau himself:

"So when [Rebekah's] days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau" (Gen.25:24-25, NKJV).

Israel vs. Esau

Bozrah and Edom are Esau who is "red". Yah'shua cames to shed the blood of 'Red Esau' - sinful blood - just as Esau will have shed the blood of Jacob-Israel - righteous blood - the true believers (Rev.16:6; 17:6; 18:24). Israel is all true believers and Esau is all those who refuse to believe of the non-Israelite seed of Abraham. The Second Coming of Yah'shua is Yahweh's Judgment against the House of Esau which was, is and will be a ruling world power until Messiah comes. Whereas Israel represents true theocratic power, Esau represents satanic power. And the economic system that is the foundation of this satanic Edomite power is known as 'Babylon', the city of unholy commerce (Rev.14:18; 16:19; 18:2,10,21).

Breaking Out from Edom and Babylon

What, then, is this prophetic breakout from Bozrah? Is it Messianic Israelites physically holed up in Petra (Bozrah) surrounded by hostile armies whom Yah'shua militarily defeats? No. The breakout from Bozrah is the breakout from the economy of Babylon and the political-military power of Edom in the world - first for the safety of twelve temporary cities of refuge ⁹ and then for the land of Israel itself.

Esau Rulers in the Israeli Republic

The land of Israel is today ruled by the Esau-power. It's rulers are Edomites, the descendants of those forcibly converted to Judaism by the Maccabees with their militaristic Hanukkah festival ¹⁰. Esau has ruled since 1948 by virtue of his birthright which Jacob stole from him. He has shown his cruel and oppressive method of government and the world hates him for it. And yet ironically the whole world is governed by the same system of 'might is right'. The modern day Republic of Israel is a picture of the World Beast System...and yet many Messianics want to take refuge in it!

The Esau Spirit of Murder and Violence

You and are are called to "break out of Bozrah" but we can never accomplish it in our own strength. The true believers of Messiah suffer from Esau's murderous spirit and violence which wishes to overcome us by force (Mt.11:12). We are hard pressed by him but not crushed (2 Cor.4:8) if we resist him IN Yah'shua our Messiah. This is the story of our life in this Edomite-ruled sphere. Whenever we resit the power of evil, trusting in Yah'shua, the "Breaker" goes out before us, enabling us to pour out of our carnal sanctuary (represented by Bozrah) through the breach Messiah makes, so that we can literally 'break out' of the world system.

The Spectacular Breakout and the Millennium

The prophecy of the 'Bozrah Breakout' is therefore a beautiful pastoral picture of Yah'shua as Messiah breaking forth from Esau's bonds of the flesh (which happens daily as we overcome) and leading the 'manchild company' (true Torah-obedient Yah'shua-trusting Christians) forth into a new set-apart history in the coming Millennium of Messiah. This momentous action will not happen until the end of this age. But when it does come it will be spectacular. The Bozrah deliverance will change the destiny of heaven and earth. The stars and angelic rulerships will fall. And on earth Messiah will establish His Millennial Kingdom. This will not be a 'kingdom of the church' as we know it. It will not be an existential ¹¹ kingdom of ecclessiastical revery under the stained glass windows. Nor will it be 'kingdom of the church' in some sort of charismatic ¹² mind game. This will be reality! The Millennium of Messiah will be a kingdom here on earth. And it will last for a literal one thousand years.

The Religious Counterfeits

This detailed picture of the deliverance of the elect by Messiah (and not the church) at the second advent is given to us in Micah chapter 2. This divine and earthly drama is laid out for us quite clearly and in detail. Note well that it is the Messiah who brings the breakthrough here. He and He alone is "the Breaker". No churchman will get Messiah's glory here even if he claims some super-anointed status as a latter-day 'apostle' or 'prophet' in the charismatic 'five-fold ministry'. No religious pretenders can usurp Messiah's role. None of them. Not even if they proclaim that they are up to the task of bringing in the 'Kingdom Now'. Neither the 'apostolic/prophetic', the messianic rabbinical, nor the Papal/Jesuit Catholic leaderships can fit the bill here. Nor can today's politically active Puritan leaders. Nor can our liberal politically savvy ecumenical leaders of the United Nations and the global scene. None of them can bring in that final glorious breakthrough. None of these religious champions can 'cut it'. None of them can lay claim to be our Deliverer.

Yah'shua Alone

We need to leave the religious rallies and all the hype and hoopla. We need to be wary of powerful Christian freemasons as they attempt to organize their 'last crusade' and Messianic Rabbis operating under judaic, kabbalistic and antichrist spirits. And we need get back to the Bible here. Yah'shua the Messiah is 'the man'. He is our Saviour and our Redeemer. He is also our future Deliverer. He tramples the winepress. And He tramples the grapes of wrath alone (Is.63). So if any religious leader comes offering you El Al tickets to the Israeli Negev or Royal Jordanian Airline tickets to Petra, promising you safety, mark them down as imposters. They will in any case be leading you into a holocaust zone which the ruins of ancient Bozrah can never protect you from.

The Bozrah Deliverance is a thrilling element of the Second Coming of Messiah. He is the Anointed One, the Expected One and our coming Messiah. The Micah 2 scripture shows this end-time deliverance well. We also see it laid out for us in spectacular fashion in Isaiah 63.

Learning to Operate Within a Dictatorship

The Bozrah Deliverance is also a thrilling element in your daily spiritual life as well as from dangerous circumstances. Our formerly democratic world is rapidly being transformed into a dictatorship. We will soon be living in fully fledged police states, first nationally and then globally. We need to learn from our Eastern European and Chinese brethren who know what it is like to be a believer under a muderous totalitarian system. When the whole world is a police state we will need Bozrah-type deliverances for us and our families. But it's primary meaning is end-time.

Doctoring the Bible

Yahweh is obviously telling us something here in the Bozrah scriptures since they relate so clearly to the return of Messiah. This is crucial information. Micah and Isaiah are telling us of a climactic deliverance of Yahweh's Elect at the end of the age. The word 'Bozrah' is very important. It is so sad to see that the modern translations have 'lost' it. It has been left out by most newer versions of the Bible. Bozrah establishes the Edomite connection. Reference to the word, 'Bozrah' indicates that Yahweh's Elect will be delivered at the end of the age from an Edomite sovereignty and from an Edomite incarceration. This is a key piece of information for the end-time believers. Why has it been omitted from Bible teachings on end-time themes? This is a prophecy of a magnificent deliverance of Yahweh's covenant people. It involves his Elect, His nation, His Messianic Community (Church). It is exceedingly good and encouraging news. Why haven't we heard this before?

Reasons Believers Don't Believe

The Bozrah scripture passages in Scripture brings out the deliverance element of the Second Coming. This aspect of climactic rescue and salvation is exceedingly good news. It is inspiring beyond measure. Yet many Christians have not heard this. Is it because of the current emphasis of Christians being a 'New Testament people'? Is it because deliverance presupposes an imprisonment of sorts? I think it is largely because most Christians have been sold on the 'Rapture Deception' ¹³ and are expecting to be whisked away into heaven, never to return to the earth. They have already walked away from Bozrah in their minds and from any responsibility as overcomers.

The Millennium-to-Come

The glorious Millennium of Messiah will follow the Bozrah Deliverance. Humanity and the ecosystems will be restored, precisely as the scriptures have laid out for us:

"The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Yahweh, the excellency of our Elohim. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, 'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your Elohim will come with vengeance, with the recompense of Elohim; He will come and save you'" (Isa.35:1-4, NKJV). ¹⁴

Adjusting to a Captivity Mindset

What does the family of Esau have to do with the second coming of Christ? Why hasn't this question been addressed by our popular Bible teachers? Is it because they do not want to face the clear Biblical message here that Yahweh's people will be in some sort of captivity in the end-time? Absolutely. Because these prophecies contradict the 'Kingdom Now' theology of those who believe that Christ will return to a Christian world. They contradict the escapist Rapture teachers and believers who don't want to go through trial and tribulation under the Antichrist. They contradict the Preterist delusion that the Millennium started centuries ago. They contradict almost every non-biblical doctrinal fad.

Esau's 'Left-Over' Blessing

Edom and the Edomites do have a significant part to play in the end-time, as the prophet Daniel mentions (Dan.11:41) The patriach Isaac blessed wild man Esau with a 'left-over' blessing. That blessing clearly stated that Esau would eventually rise up against his nurturing brother Jacob and assume dominion over him for a time. This is an untold part of the end-time drama. It has been 'cloaked' by popular Bible teachers and Messianic Torah-teachers. They had to do this for politico-religious, socio-religious, and economico-religious reasons. Once you know who Esau is and start teaching the truth about him, your place in the socio-political and economic sphere is at an end! Where Esau rules Israel is expected to drool or get out and for those who love the world and its Esau spirit, getting out is the last thing on their minds. So no wonder they turn their minds off to the truth and prefer a delusion.

The Edomites, Money and Power

It is quite clear from this prophecy by Isaac and also from the Bozrah scriptures of the Second Coming that the sons of Esau are still with us! Furthermore Isaac said that the Edomites would be found in the rich places of the earth. Could that be in our rich western countries? Are they the 'bad guys' in our midst? Could they be the brutish and godless ones rolling in money that have taken over popular culture, the silver screen and Hollywood? Here is what the Bible says about the resergence of Edomite power in the end-time:

"Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck" (Gen.27:39-40, NKJV).

The Internal Spirit of Esau

This is a double prophecy. Firstly, let us consider the internal, spiritual application of this prophecy. It's saying to us - and mark this well - that if we do not have the carnal, Adamic, Esau nature burned out of us...if we suppress it in any degree and don't allow Yah'shua to crucify it...that it will, even if we are born-again believers, re-emerge and overthrow the spiritual man within! This is a warning about the possibility of losing your salvation if you refuse to repent and obey the commandments! Furthermore, I believe this will happen on a large scale within Christendom and within the Messianic movement if believers do not yield their all to Yah'shua - they will embrace Esau and Edom! You see it happening all around you today. Look carefully.

The Historical Aspect of Esau

Secondly, historically this is a prophecy about the emergence of Esau after he has broken away from Jacob's dominion. What is Jacob's dominion? The Gospel - Christianity! What group of people have lived within the borders of Christendom, endured abuses, persecutions and murders, and generally had to submit to the rule of carnal 'Christian' rulers? And what group of people have, principally by exerting financial power and using it in the political realm, risen up and to all intents seized control? The Jews!

The Edomites Among the Jews

Now before you start knee-jerking (as some of you will) let me tell you that this is not an anti-semitic tract. This is a presentation of facts in a way that you may never have seen them before. We're not saying that all Jews are Edomites. Neither are we saying that Edomites aren't living amongst other peoples too. We are saying that the bulk of Edomites are among the original Judahites and their Khazar converts. The people we call 'Jews' ¹⁵ consist of many types of people - they are first of all a religious group, not a homogenous racial one. And what may surprise you to learn is how Yahweh is using them today and how they will be used during the Great Tribulation. So how will these godless, violent Edomites come to dominate the nurturing people of Jacob? Just what rôle are these wild people, who escape from the control of the Antichrist, going to play in the endtime drama?

"He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon" (Dan.11:41, NKJV).

Identifying the Hidden Edomites Today

Here is what the scriptures are telling us. The Edomites are still with us, hidden for the most part amongst the Jews and are, to all intents and purposes, 'Jews' themselves. They are all around us and are fellow citizens in our nations. Inclined toward paganism these people may still be very sophisticated. But in their heart they haven't changed. They still have the same hunt-you-down, take-you-down, hustling, domineering spirit their father Esau had four millenia ago. The prophet Daniel tells us clearly that the children of Esau are very prominent players at the end of the age. They are out of control and beyond control. Even the Antichrist, it seems, will not even bother to try to conquer them or rule over them during the régime of his 666 system (Dan.11:41). He will probably just let them rule over the outer fringes of his global empire. Apparently he will not even bother to mess with them during the Great Tribulation, those final 3½ years of this age. He will allow them to do what Edomites do - make money and wage war. They will run wild like goats. Esau will rise up in the endtime and achieve mastery over his brother Jacob precisely as Isaac prophesied that he would.

Esau and Jacob Protecting Each Other

According to the prophet Micah, Yahweh will allow the incarceration of His covenant people Jacob by the bad boy Esau. This will not, however, be all bad. Yahweh is allowing this for a purpose. Apparently the 'Bozrah incarceration' will provide some degree of nurturing, caring, and shelter for the covenant people of Yahweh during the Great Tribulation - the blood of Abraham is, remember, in Esau too! The Jewísh Edomites will be doing for genuine believers what true believers did for the Jews during the Second World War - sheltering them! It will be a kind of pay-back, a thank-you gift. Though the Christians of the 1930's and 40's thought they were sheltering biblical Judahites - the original decendants of Judah (and did indeed shelter some true descandants of Jacob and Judah) for the most part they were sheltering Edomites (descandants of Abraham) and Khazars (descendants of Japhethite Ashkenaz). Part of Jacob was protecting Esau from another very rebellious part of Jacob who himself was ruled by Edomite rulers deliberately mingled by the enemy with Ephraim ¹⁶. It is indeed a complex and convoluted story and not at all as it has been presented to us by the world!

The Exile and Nurturing of Jacob

We pick up the story in Revelation 12. In this critically important passage of scripture John sees the woman of Revelation 12 given the wings of a great eagle and flying off to a place of exile for 1260 days, or 3½ years. John saw her escaping from the face of the dragon. He saw her clothed in glory. They will be exiled to a place, (or places), where they can be nurtured in the things of Yahweh. This happens during the Great Tribulation! This is stated clearly in Revelation 12:6 and is retold using different time units in verse 14 (just in case we missed it the first time).

The 70th Week Gathering

The Bozrah story apparently involves a climactic end-time gathering of true Christian and Messianic people from all around the world. This will be happening during the latter half of the 70th week. They will be gathered together like sheep in the fold. Only this time 'the fold' apparently belongs to Esau. That is why the saints need deliverance! Esau's 'protection' will turn into full-blown slavery unless there is a divine rescue for Messianic Israel.

The Unfolding Drama

Now, armed with this information, we begin to see what this drama involving a 'deliverance at Bozrah' is all about. When He returns our Messiah will be coming to 'visit' Bozrah as He will have some business to attend to. He will be coming to break out His people from the clutches of the enemy! This is why the Ruach haQodesh, writing through the prophet Micah, calls him "the Breaker" (Micah 2:13).

Jacob Must Again Wrestle with Yahweh

I can understand why certain Christians might not like this story very much. It is less than flattering for 'victory-minded' Christians to be told that this sort of thing could happen to them. They refuse this information just as they refuse to see themselves as lost Gomer or belonging to the Assembly of Laodicea. It seems that Jacob is wrestling with Yahweh once again. He must go through his dark night of the soul just as he did beside the Jabbok River back in the times of the patriarchs.

History Repeats Itself

Bozrah is a dynamic yet untold part of the end-time. It tells a story of incarceration. A story of exile and nurturing. Finally, it is telling us a story of a glorious deliverance played out on the stage of world history before angels and men. The Bozrah drama takes place in the final 3½ years of this age. Jeremiah clearly tells us that it will be the time of 'Jacob's trouble' but that he will be saved out of it (Jer.30:7). We need none of the escapist myths to comfort us or massage our fear.

A New Separated-Out Messianic Community will Come to Pass

The Bozrah prophecy of the end-time, (as we can see), is too awesome for our modern church and our carnal Christian congregation to handle. So there will have to be a new congregation, a new called out 'ekklesia'. A new 'church' or 'messianic community' will go forward into the glory. There will be an end-time Sukkot ¹⁷ revival even in a time of great apostasy. The remnant messianic community will come into confluence with remnant of Judah hidden up amongst the Edomites, Khazars and other peoples. In exile together in the crucible of the latter days they will come together as one, with Judah accepting Yah'shua as her Messiah and Ephraim accepting Torah-rule. They will be refined just as Yahweh said that they would be (Mal.3) Out of the crucible of Bozrah the silver of redemption will be refined. And the
