Israel Watch: Provocation? - Jim Fletcher -
 
According to a Jerusalem Post report, Israel plans 2,000 more housing units in Samaria, while in 2019, 617 Palestinian homes were demolished.
 
The units will be built in the Harasha outpost and a little beyond. According to the UN, Israel plans a whopping 22,000 new housing units in the "West Bank."
 
We shall see. That is ambitious and, with the demolitions, will be seen as a red flag waved in the face of the international community. As we've written before, good and bad things are happening simultaneously where Israel is concerned.
 
On the one hand, we have historically good relations between the U.S. and the Netanyahu administration, which is giving great cover to the Israelis. With Netanyahu announcing that he wants to annex the Jordan Valley, and Trump's State Department giving the green-light to consider the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory, Israel is enjoying boom days.
 
Of course, this doesn't even take into account the astonishing move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in 2017.
 
What we also know, however, is that the other side is relentless in their evil. The Left never rests, and will give no peace to Israel in the coming years. The stage is setting up "nicely" for Zechariah's prophecies to be fulfilled, because Jerusalem will be the match that lights the great and terrible Day of the Lord.
 
And although FOX's Pete Hegseth recently produced a wonderful report on the source of the Palestinian Christians' plight in Bethlehem (featuring my good friend, Brian Schrauger), the BBC is continuing its usual flawed reporting on same.
 
According to a CAMERA report:
 
"Barbara Plett Usher, notorious for her tearful eulogy of arch-terrorist Yasir Arafat and her participation in BBC's longtime campaign to delegtimize Israel, was sent to Bethlehem to report about Christmas there."
 
In part, this is Usher's report:
 
"Bethlehem, regarded as the birthplace of Jesus, typically sees a tourism boom at Christmas and this year looks like it could be one of the busiest years in recent memory. But as a Palestinian town in the West Bank, Bethlehem is also feeling the economic effects of the Israeli occupation. Israel has restricted movement out of the West Bank and confiscated some Palestinian land to build Jewish settlements."
 
This kind of stuff, these falsehoods, only inflames Israel's many international enemies, and keeps going the fictional narrative that the "Occupation" is responsible for the Arab ills.
 
There are more problems.
 
A rash of anti-Semitic attacks-in the U.S.!-the latest at a Hannukah celebration in New York portend troubling days ahead. This is especially so as the generation of "leaders" like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez become more emboldened to spew their anti-Jewish filth.
 
We must brace ourselves for what is to come, and enjoy these days of relative peace.
 
As always, we know that our Lord is watching and in control.
 
Maranatha!

Not In A Million Billion Years :: By Dave Hubley Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) Several years ago, I had a conversation with a guy in a waiting room while getting an oil change (in the car, not me). I don’t recall exactly how the conversation originated or how it progressed, but I have never forgotten it. As I recall, it had something to do with evolution and an article that was contained in a “waiting room magazine” that was available there. He made the observation that God was “something that man had made up.” I can’t recall the exact reason he used to justify his opinion, but it had something to do with the usual reasons people give: Weak-willed people needing a crutch, and blah, blah, blah. I engaged him in a “witness,

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th
