And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘
[YHWH] Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaaqob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’ (Exodus 3:15)
…let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Yisra’ĕl, that in the Name of Yeshua Messiah of Natsareth, whom you impaled, whom Elohim raised from the dead, by Him this one stands before you, healthy. This is ‘the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.” (Acts 4:10-12)

My FAVORITE SCRIPTURES (categorized)
NEW FOR TODAY:
AMERICA:
NORAD
Air Base On Heightened Alert
<- FEATURE!
As the U.S. continues to express concern about
the possibility of a North Korean missile test directed toward
American territory and the rest of the world holds its breath over a
close encounter with an asteroid, several U.S. air bases are on
heightened alert. But no one is talking about why. The Cheyenne
Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD -- charged with monitoring
the North Korea situation -- is now at "Bravo-Plus."
CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION:
Muslims
Turned Christian Pay the Price
Within the Islamic world there are at least 14 states that make it
illegal to convert out of Islam. In at least eight of those states,
it is punishable by death.
CHRISTIANITY:
‘The
Big Apple’ is about to experience a unique taste of the Korean
revival
The “New York 2006” healing crusade will take place in the
historic Madison Square Garden on July 27, 28 and 29 and will be led
by Dr. Jaerock Lee, senior pastor of the 100,000-member Manmin
Joong-Ang Church in Seoul, South Korea.
EZEKIEL 38/39 PLAYER(S):
Assad
Steps Up Support For Palestinians
DAMASCUS - President Bashar al-Assad renewed
Syria's support for the Palestinians on Monday in the heat of a
military escalation sparked by the capture of an Israeli soldier by
Palestinian militants. "Syria stands shoulder-to-shoulder with
the Palestinian people in their crisis and faced with Israeli
repression," Assad told the country's highest political body,
the state news agency SANA reported.
Iran
Has Until July 12 to Stop Enrichment
VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Western powers will
reactivate efforts to punish Iran through possible U.N. Security
Council sanctions unless it suspends uranium enrichment and agrees
to talks on its nuclear program by July 12, diplomats said Monday.
Iran
Purchased Long-Range Missiles From Russia
Russia over the weekend confirmed reports that
a number of years ago, Iran purchased long-range missiles, in the

ISRAEL HAPPENINGS:
Aliyah -
Many Israeli emigrants coming home
Since 2003 the number of Israeli immigrants returning to the country has steadily risen: In 2003 2,696 Israelis came home, 3,554 returned in 2004 and 4,205 moved back in 2005.Israel's Enemies -
Has
Israel lost the Spirit of '76?
Israel's operation in Gaza comes less than a year after its
unilateral retreat last summer, when more than 8,000 Jews were
expelled from the homes and communities some of them had lived in
for decades. This, Israelis were told, would mean
"disengagement" from their enemies — the Palestinians
would have all of Gaza to themselves and violence would be thwarted
by the security fence separating them from Israel.
Israel
Says No Negotiations On Soldier
Three Palestinian militant groups that
captured an Israeli soldier demanded Monday that 1,500 Palestinian
prisoners start being released in less than 24 hours, implying that
he would be killed, but Israel said it would not negotiate.
Miscellaneous -
Police
weigh banning J'lem gay parade
Jerusalem police are expected to decide this week whether to allow a
controversial international gay pride parade to take place in the
city this summer amidst growing international opposition to the
event by an unusual coalition of religious Christians, Jews, and
Muslims around the world.
Planned Withdrawal -
Olmert
still refuses to get it
Olmert refused to send forces into Gaza to contend with the
transformation of Gaza into a strategic threat to Israel because
doing so would involve acknowledging that his plan to retreat from
Judea, Samaria and parts of Jerusalem will turn Tel Aviv, Jerusalem,
Hadera, Afula and Be'ersheva into frontline communities. He refused
to send forces into Gaza because doing so would demonstrate that
Israel cannot defend its cities from their outskirts.

HRT:
Setting the Record Straight
Once, hormone replacement therapy was hailed as the end to the
misery of menopause. But in recent years, many doctors have been
turning away from the treatment as more and more reports of the
negative side effects surface. Is HRT really as bad as some say it
is? Or is it even worse?
RUMORS OF WAR:

END TIMES:
"There
Shall be Scoffers In the Last Days"
(by
Spirit Journals)
There is no escaping the fact that from Genesis to Revelation the
“last days,” the “latter times,” and the “end times,”
and other similar terms are used again and again with what is
clearly a major theme of the Bible. Israel is the key to Bible
prophecy. I know there are well-meaning ministries out there who put
the church in the forefront of all end time events, thus producing
such viewpoints as a mid-tribulation rapture, a post-tribulation
rapture and even some camps who teach there will be no rapture. All
that has been written in the past by prophets and apostles has a
bulls eye on THIS time of history when we are seeing events take
place that scholars in the early 1900s and even mid-1900s would have
paid blood for to see. To make the last days anything less than a
time of great social, economic and spiritual upheaval prior to
Christ’s return is false.
EUROPEAN UNION:
EU
Envoy Voices Hope For Solving Gaza Standoff Soon
EU Middle East envoy Marc Otte voiced hope on
Friday for soon solving the current standoff in Gaza over the

hope that the developments in the next few hours and days will allow

without the language of weapons," Otte said after a meeting
with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Gaza City.

programme, which has enriching uranium as its focus, to Ivory Coast
President Laurent Gbagbo.

Gaza Goods Crossing To Be Reopened On Sunday For Urgent Aid

Israel if the shoe were on the other foot???
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz decided
on Saturday to reopen the Karni goods crossing on the Gaza-Israel
border as of Sunday in order to facilitate the transfer of urgent
humanitarian aid. Peretz also decided to allow 150 trucks carrying
staple foodstuff and medicine to pass through Karni every day for
the next four days starting from Sunday. In addition, the minister

international terrorists to justice," includes names,
photographs and other background information about those wanted for
attacks against American citizens in places such as the Philippines,
