ISRAEL UPDATE: 7.16.22 - Falsely Accusing Israel of ‘Apartheid’

Apostate Presbyterian Church USA Passes Resolution Falsely Accusing Israel of ‘Apartheid’ - By Breanna Claussen - https://harbingersdaily.com/apostate-presbyterian-church-usa-passes-resolution-falsely-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/ On Friday, the governing board of the Presbyterian Church USA voted 266-116 to pass a resolution denouncing the Jewish State, claiming that “the government of Israel’s laws,policies, and practices regarding the Palestinian people fulfill the international legal definition of apartheid.” “Apartheid is legally defined as inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial groupof persons and systematically oppressing them,” the resolution, INT-02, insisted. The resolution dared to liken the horror of the holocaust by Hitler’s Natzi regime to the Jewish State’s current treatment of Palestinians, falsely claiming that Israel issegregating its society by race and religion and forcing Palestinians into “ghettos.” It is the duty of “Christians,” the resolution insisted, to not be silent concerning “Israeli apartheid” and not to fear that lambasting Israel may be considered “anti-Israelor anti-Semitic.” Despite what the resolution asserts, disseminating and adopting as policy false accusations against the Jewish nation is not only anti-semitic, it is profoundly contrary toScripture. Replacement Theology is ‘Replacement Reality’ In 2004, the Presbyterian Church USA passed an anti-Israel resolution 431–62 “to initiate a process of phased, selective divestment in multinational corporations operatingin Israel.” At the time, Jan Markell, the Founder and President of Olive Tree Ministries, criticized the Presbyterian Church for its decision to “divest all economic interest in Israel.” Markell further warned that the disturbing trend of “churches” attacking Israel is a clear demonstration of the apostasy the apostle Paul warned would occur in the time priorto Jesus’ Return. “These are the very denominations that believe in ‘Replacement Theology’—that the Church is the new Israel. Modern-day Israel has no more relevance than the Canary Islands.When you embrace this false teaching, you also end up with ‘replacement reality,'” she underscored. “In other words, reality gets totally skewed.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV – “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” “This is all a part of that ‘end-time’ falling away the Bible predicts and the rampant apostasy of the latter days,” Markell stressed. In Genesis 12:3, God warns: “I will bless them that bless [Israel], and curse him that curseth thee…” According to CBN, the PCUSA denomination has seen a 63% loss in membership in recent decades “due in part to embracing liberal views.” “Is it any wonder that attendance in these churches is plunging and as a result, and their income as well?” Jan Markell questioned. “I’m sure it’s tough for God to bless denominationsthat are skewed in their worldview and theology like this. Following the pattern of Genesis 12:3, there should be some literal ‘cursing’ going on.” Biblical Significance of The Modern State of Israel Although the world may look at Israel and automatically see red, to the Believer in Jesus Christ, the reborn State of Israel should arouse awe of God and hope, not condemnation. When the Bible describes the reestablishment of Israel (Ezekiel 36-37), which has taken place in our modern age, it states that God Himself will regather the Jews from aroundthe globe and give them the land of Israel. Ezekiel 36:24, 28 KJV – “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land… And ye shall dwell in theland that I gave to your fathers…” It should be unthinkable for professing Christians to make themselves enemies of Israel and question its legitimate right to the land because, in doing so, they are disputingGod’s authority to give the land to His chosen people. For nearly 2,000 years, the nation of Israel did not exist, and the Jewish people were scattered across the earth. However, God promised that Israel would again become a nationunder miraculous circumstances (Ezekiel 36, 37, Isaiah 66:7-8); this occurred on May 14th, 1948. Understanding the significance of the modern State of Israel is especially important because Jesus told His disciples that when Israel is reborn, one generation would notpass away before His Second coming (Matthew 24:32-34). Therefore the nation of Israel has been used to bless believers yet again, with the joyful expectation of our Blessed Hope, the soon catching away of the Bride Of Christ toforever be with the Lord in the Rapture of the church (1 Thess. 4:15-18, Titus 2:13, 1 Corin. 15:51-53). If you do not know Christ, seeing the nation of Israel should promote urgency in you to accept Jesus today. Satan hates Israel, and he hates you also. But God displayed Hispower to us, through the rebirth of Israel and by countless other means, that we may come to know Him and the saving knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:29). ------------------------------- Prophetic Countdown? Netanyahu Promises Peace Accords with Multiple Nations � by PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5467 Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to bring full peace agreements with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries if he wins the election for the 25th Knessetthis fall and forms a government. Netanyahu said: "I would like to express my appreciation to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, for his contribution to the achievement of the four historicpeace agreements we have brought - the 'Abraham Accords.'" "If I return to lead the State of Israel on your behalf, I intend to bring about full peace agreements with Saudi Arabia and also with other Arab countries," Netanyahu added. While Netanyahu's return to power is far from a certainty, it does show the desire of Israeli leaders to expand the peace agreements that have begun with several Arab nationsthrough the 'Abraham Accords' - regardless of who might win the upcoming elections. Peace with Saudi Arabia, the heart of the Sunni Muslim world would be an amazing turn of events after continuous wars since Israel's creation. Some would call such a peaceagreement even 'prophetic'. Prophecy teachers have long warned that one of the single most important prophetic events to watch for as an indication of the start of the 'tribulation period' is the signing/ratifyingof a 7 year peace accord between Israel and many nations. This prophetic period of time is detailed in the Book of Daniel as well as throughout the book of Revelation. Daniel 9:27 warns us that this specific prophetic period of timewill begin when "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreedis poured out on him." Several key details are important in this passage that scholars have debated for centuries including the reference to "He". Most Bible experts agree this is a reference towho Jesus calls the "abomination that causes desolation" (Matthew 24:15) and is called "the beast" in Revelation 13. He is most commonly known by the term the "Antichrist". This Antichrist figure will be a world leader with influence/control over 10 leadersor 10 regions and be a key player in brining about or ratifying/expanding current treaties (Abraham Accords?). This Antichrist figure will be exposed for the false leader that he is when he breaks this covenant/agreement for peace half way through, putting a stop to sacrifice in therebuilt Jewish temple and declaring himself God (abomination of desolation). A key component of this peace agreement appears to be a rebuilt Jewish temple. PNW regularly includes articles on the developments in Israel to bring about the rebuilt temple including the training of priests, the search for a red heifer, the reconstructionof temple instruments, etc... the main ingredient missing is the heart of the majority of the Jewish people to see the temple rebuilt and the political will to do in the midst of a hostile Arab world. Could a future peace agreement provide for such a temple? It is hard to see the Muslim world ever agreeing to a Jewish temple near the Dome of the Rock, however if Saudi Arabiawas to sign a treaty with Israel a religious component would make sense as it represents the center of Islam. Should Saudi Arabia sign, countless other Arab nations could follow, thus the "many" reference in Daniel. Saudi Arabia has also made clear in the past they would not agree to any peace deal until the Palestinian issue was solved, thus giving a true false sense of security in Israelthat "peace and safety" has finally been achieved in the Middle East. It also makes sense that such a significant treaty would have the backing of world powers to 'confirm' or 'guarantee' such a treaty. This recent statement by Netanyahu reminds us of this desire to one day reach a final peace accord. Ironically, Shiite Iran's push for a nuclear weapon is speeding up thetimetable for Saudi Arabia, Israel and other nations to come to some type of rapprochement in an effort to counter Iran's power. Whether the famous battle of Ezekiel 38 will happen before or after the start of this Tribulation period begins remains to be seen....but it appears the two events will be prophetically interlinked. What we are seeing now is a foreshadowing of things to come but until all of them are fulfilled exactly as scripture foretells we can only speculate as to how our modern worldmay bring these about. Many aspects of this prophecy seem to be far off or even too wild to believe, however Covid has shown us how our entire world can be turned upside-down in a matter of months. Scripture has already given us the outline of what is to come,now we just have to wait for the pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. PNW will be updating you on these events as we draw near to their fulfillment. ------------------- A Diplomatic Slap In The Face � Amir Tsarfati - https://harbingersdaily.com/mideast-review-w-amir-tsarfati-a-diplomatic-slap-in-the-face/ In a Tuesday UAV strike, the US assassinated the leader of ISIS in Syria, while severely wounding another senior ISIS official who eventually succumbed to his wounds yesterday.The two were traveling outside Jindayris in northwest Syria at the time. Maher al-Agal was responsible for many attacks within the country, and was developing ISIS outside of Syria and Iraq. �The removal of these ISIS leaders will disrupt the terrorist organization�sability to further plot and carry out global attacks,� said CENTCOM spokesman Col. Joe Buccino. US President Joe Biden landed in Israel Wednesday, perfectly coinciding with my departure to South Africa. Must be divine timing. He is arriving with a record low approvalrating of 33% and a 40-year high inflation rate of 9.1%. Yet, with that record and the knowledge that nearly two-thirds of those in his own party don�t want him to run again in 2024, he is apparently planning to tell Israel how we can make everything happywith the Palestinians. While here, he will visit a site on the Mount of Olives without an official Israeli host � a slap in the face to our government. Then he is expected to encourage a two-state solution, while reaffirming his intention to open a Palestinianconsulate in Jerusalem. From Israel, the US president will travel to Saudi Arabia. While there, he will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a man he once said must be held accountable forthe killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. That get-together could be awkward. I do not expect that Biden will receive the same kind of celebratory reception when he arrives as that enjoyed by the previous holder of the Oval Office. Russia continues to strangle Ukraine. Moscow has taken over 22% of the agricultural land and has burned wheat fields in other parts. The 20% of Ukraine that Putin alreadycontrols contributes approximately half of the nation�s GDP. If they take the districts of Mykolaiv and Odessa, Ukraine will be left with only 25% of their GDP and no seaports for trade. Moscow�s relationship with other Central European nations continues to deteriorate. On Monday, the Russian #KILLNET hacking network launched a cyberattack on the Polish TaxAuthority causing all sorts of havoc. Tensions with Lithuania were continuing to grow as the Baltic country expanded its restrictions on goods that they would allow to pass through to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. However, just yesterday, the EU cavedto Moscow�s pressure and said that it was okay for Russian goods to travel through Lithuania by rail to Kaliningrad. The Vilnius government, which had only been following the EU�s sanctions, breathed a sigh of relief and said that it would not ignore �thepositions and assessments� of the other nations. The coalition of Ezekiel continues to be formed before our eyes. Next Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to Tehran, where he will meet with Turkish PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. One of the primary purposes for the trilateral summit is the boosting of economic cooperation with Iran. As I talked about last week, the ties between these countries continues to grow. Just on Monday,US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced that Iran was preparing to provide several hundred military drones to Russia for use against Ukraine. Over just the past several weeks, 25 military cargo flights have been conducted to Russia from Iran.For more information on this growing alliance and how it connects to Ezekiel 38, check out my Breaking News from Tuesday. Iran continues to supply arms to its proxy militias in Iraq and Syria. However, the actual delivery of these supplies isn�t always successful. On Saturday, a shipment fromIran that had passed through Iraq was destroyed in Deir a-Zor, Syria. In other Iranian weapons news, Iran has reached the capability for the 90% enrichment threshold needed for nuclear bombs. This adds them to the list of other threshold countries who havethe technology and resources for nuclear weapons, but has not taken the step of building them yet. Ahmad Sales, a member of the Popular Defense militia that is connected to Hezbollah in the Golan area, was assassinated in southern Syria. It appears to be an Israeli targetedkilling. A continent away from Syria there was another, much more tragic assassination. During a speech last week, Shinzo Abe, former president of Japan, was killed by an assailantusing a homemade shotgun. The assassin, who was captured at the scene, was identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, a former marine of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. Yamagami said that his mother had been bankrupted through her support of the Unification Church,and he resented Abe�s support of the religious group. Abe, however, has never been a member or supporter of the �Moonies�, although at one time he did express appreciation for the group�s �focus and emphasis on family values.� In an apparent move to leave no crisis unwasted, China protested to Japan for allowing Taiwan�s Vice President William Lai to attend Shinzo Abe�s funeral. Somehow keepinga straight face despite the irony, China�s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin accused Japan of using Abe�s death for political manipulation. �Japan does not have a so-called vice president,� he said. �It�s impossible this kind of scheming will succeed.� Please give me a moment while I catch my breath after that story. Sri Lankan President Gotbaya Rajapaksa fled his country to the Maldives, and then on to Singapore. This happened after protestors stormed the presidential palace and amidstmassive demonstrations over economics and shortages of staples like food, fuel, and medicines. Rajapaksa named his prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, as acting president. However, this didn�t satisfy the masses who don�t care for either man, and would liketo see the president-in-hiding �in an open prison where they can do farm work.� Finally, on Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force and the Greek Air Force conducted a joint training simulation. The exercise included both air-to-air combat, as well as refuelingoperations. While already enjoying close diplomatic relations, the two countries are drawing even closer as they see great opportunities ahead in the area of energy. ----------------------
