In fact, once the descendants of Ishmael possess
the Temple Mount in the future, they will blatantly boast:
"Aha (an ancient cry of malicious joy - cp. Psa
35:21-25), even the ancient high places (the elevated
region between the Jordan valley and the Mediterranean
Coast) are ours in possession" (Ezek 36:2).
A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME
Does the recent conflict in Israel signal the
intense hatred that will soon be manifested by the
Moslems during the future time of "Jacob's trouble"?
Can one imagine what it would be like if the
Moslems actually achieve victory over Israel in the days
ahead? The following account of the October, 2000
lynching of two Israeli Defense Force reservists may
provide a clue.
CUT ISRAEL OFF FROM BEING A NATION
The Jerusalem Post, October 27, 2000 - author -
Mark Seager,
(October 27) - British photographer Mark
Seager, 29, was working on a pictorial study of
Palestinian refugees when he found himself caught up in
the horrific lynching of two IDF reservists in Ramallah
on October 11. He was the only journalist to witness the
beating, and as he tried to take the photograph that would
have made his fortune, the crowd turned on him with
such hatred, destroying his camera, that he feared for his
own life.
I had arrived in Ramallah at about 10:30 a.m. and
was getting into a taxi on the main road to go to Nabhis,
where there was to be a funeral that I wanted to film. All
of a sudden there came a big crowd of Palestinians
shouting and running down the hill from the police
station.
I got out of the car to see what was happening
and saw that they were dragging something behind them.
Within moments they were in front of me and, to my
horror, I saw that it was a body, a man they were
dragging by the feet. The lower part of his body was on
fire and the upper part had been shot, and the head beaten
so badly that it was a pulp, like red Jelly.
I thought he was a soldier because I could see the
remains of khaki trousers and boots. My God, I thought,
they've killed this guy. He was dead, he must have been
dead, but they were still beating him, madly, kicking his
head. They were like animals. They were just a few feet
in front of me and I could see everything.
Instinctively, 1 reached for my camera. I was
composing the picture when I was punched in the face by
a Palestinian. Another Palestinian pointed right at me
shouting, "no picture, no picture!" while yet another guy
hit me in the face and said, "give me your film!"
I tried to get the film out but they were all
grabbing me and one guy just pulled the camera off me
and smashed it to the ground. I knew 1 had lost the
chance to take the photograph that would have made me
famous, and I had lost my favorite lens that I'd used all
over the world, but I didn't care. I was scared for my life.
At the same time, the (dead) guy that looked like
a soldier was being beaten and the crowd was getting
angrier and angrier, shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is
great). They were dragging the dead man around the
street like a cat toying with a mouse. It was the most
horrible thing that I have ever seen, and I have reported
from Congo, Kosovo, and many bad places, hi Kosovo, I
saw Serbs beating an Albanian, but it wasn't like this.
There was such hatred, such unbelievable hatred and
anger distorting their faces.
The worst thing was that I realized the anger that
they were directing at me was the same as that which
they'd had toward the soldier before dragging him from
the police station and killing him. Somehow I escaped
and ran and ran, not knowing where I was going. I never
saw the other guy they killed, the one they threw out of
the window.
I thought that I'd got to know the Palestinians
well. I've made six trips this year and had been going to
Ramallah every day for the past 16 days. I thought they
were kind, hospitable people. I know they are not all like
this and I'm a very forgiving person, but I'll never forget
this- It was murder of the most barbaric kind- When I
think about it, I see that man's head, all smashed. I know
that I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life. (End
quote).
Is this me type of hatred that the Muslims will
exert towards both Jews and Christians in the near future?
God help!
UNITED NATIONS CONDEMNS ISRAEL
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of
trembling unto all the people round about, when they
shall be in the siege both against Judah and against
Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a
burdensome stone for all people: all that burden
themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the
people of the earth be gathered together against it" (Zech
12:2-3).
Since the conflict between Jews and Palestinians
that began in October, the United Nations (those trusty
guardians of the peace) have taken several votes on a
course of action.
The General Assembly on Friday, October 20th,
voted to condemn the "excessive use of force" by Israel
against Palestinian civilians in a resolution adopted by a
vote of 92 to 6 after hours of debate.
Prophecy marches on! Jerusalem has truly
become the "burdensome stone."
