DIVIDE AND CONQUER: Pope Francis Meets With Muslim King In Morocco And Declares That Jerusalem Should Never Belong Solely To The Jews

DIVIDE AND CONQUER: Pope Francis Meets With Muslim King In Morocco And Declares That Jerusalem Should Never Belong Solely To The Jews

by Geoffrey Grider

Pope Francis and Moroccan King Mohammed VI called on Saturday for Jerusalem to be preserved as a symbol of peaceful coexistence where Jews, Muslims and Christians can be allowed to worship freely.

Just like everything that comes out of the mouth of the Roman pope, it was a tiny nugget of truth encompassed about with layers and layers of lies. Yes, Jerusalem is claimed by Jews, Christians and Muslims, absolutely, but of those three only the first two are mentioned in the bible as being ordained by God. The Muslims are the bastard children of Abraham, and are specifically mentioned in the Bible as have none inheritance. The children of Abraham through Hagar are to be "cast out" as we see here:
"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." Galatians 4:22,23,30 (KJV)
So that takes care of Lie #1 of Pope Francis, let's move on to the second whopper he told in Morocco. This idea that Jerusalem cannot belong solely to the Jews because it "has to be shared" is another oft-repeated fact that is just not so. The bible says  that the Battle of Armageddon, seen below in Joel 3, is fought over the fact that somebody, namely Antichrist, has "parted" God's land of Israel in general, and Jerusalem in particular. That's right, Jerusalem belongs to God.
"For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land." Joel 3:1,2 (KJV)
Isn't it funny how whenever the Roman pontiff talks about Jerusalem, he never mentions that it is the capital of Israel and as such is not up to be shared by whoever feels like grabbing a piece of it? He speaks of Jerusalem like a commodity that can be bought and sold, and indeed it will be. By Antichrist in the time of Jacob's trouble.

Pope in Morocco urges Jerusalem be protected for all religions

FROM THE TIME OF ISRAEL: Pope Francis joined the Moroccan monarch in declaring the city the “common patrimony” of Christians, Jews and Muslims, on the first day of a visit to the North African country. The spiritual leader of the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics was invited by King Mohammed VI for the sake of “inter-religious dialogue,” according to Moroccan authorities.
In a joint statement, the two leaders said Jerusalem was “common patrimony of humanity and especially the followers of the three monotheistic religions,” during the pontiff’s visit to Rabat.
“The specific multi-religious character, the spiritual dimension and the particular cultural identity of Jerusalem… must be protected and promoted,” they said in the declaration released by the Vatican.
The statement contrasted sharply with a joint communique put out by Mohammed and Jordan’s King Abdullah on Thursday vowing to safeguard Jerusalem against attempts to change its Islamic or Christian identity.
The statement Thursday made no mention of any Jewish link to Jerusalem.
Improving relations with other religions has been a priority for the Argentine pontiff, whose papacy has been marred by a wave of child sex abuse allegations against clergy.
Addressing thousands of Moroccans who had braved the rain to attend the welcome ceremony, Francis said it was “essential to oppose fanaticism.”
He stressed the need for “appropriate preparation of future religious guides”, ahead of meeting trainee imams later on Saturday.
Catholics are a tiny minority in the country where 99 percent of the population is Muslim. The king is revered across West Africa as “commander of the faithful.”
Speaking at the ceremony at the Tour Hassan mosque and nearby mausoleum in Rabat, Francis defended “freedom of conscience” and “religious freedom.”
“Live as brothers,” he told a crowd of around 25,000, after arriving from the airport in his Popemobile, passing rows of Moroccan and Vatican City flags. READ MORE

"Trump Is Right About The Golan Heights" and "Stop Iran From Going Nuclear" - Two Great Articles From The Gatestone Institute!

Trump Is Right about the Golan Heights

by Alan M. Dershowitz 
  • No country in history has ever given back to a sworn enemy militarily essential territory that has been captured in a defensive war.
  • Predictably, the European Union opposed the U.S. recognition of the annexation. But it provided no compelling argument, beyond its usual demand that the status quo not be changed.
  • Has any European country ever handed over high ground, captured in a defensive war, to a sworn enemy? Recall that at the end of the first and second world wars, European countries made territorial adjustments to help preserve the peace. Why should the European Union subject Israel to a double standard it has never demanded of itself? The answer is clear: The European Union has always acted hypocritically when it comes to Israel, and this is no exception.
The Golan Heights. Israel's control over the area has been the status quo for more than half a century, and its legitimate need for this control has only increased over time. Photo: Wikipedia.
No reasonable person would ask the Israelis to give the Golan Heights to the Syrian mass murderer Assad. It would be suicidal to hand the high ground overlooking Israeli towns and villages to a madman who would use it to target Israelis civilians with chemical barrel bombs, as Assad has done to his own citizens. No country has ever returned a battleship captured in a defensive war to an enemy sworn to its destruction. In addition, the Golan Heights is a big battleship that would be used to attack Israel.

Stop Iran From Going Nuclear

by Majid Rafizadeh
  • "Thank God, the tests on the IR4 and IR2M (centrifuges) have been completed. They were tested for over 12 years. Today we have all the data, and we can easily manufacture them on an industrial scale." — Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was not allowed to inspect or monitor Iran's military sites where nuclear activities were most likely being carried out. Among the many concessions that the Obama administration gave the Iranian government, one was accepting the Iranian leaders' demand that these military sites would be out of the IAEA's reach.
  • Due to this surrender, various high-profile Iranian sites such as the Parchin military complex, located southeast of Tehran, were free to engage in nuclear activities without the risk of inspection.
  • Once the authoritarian, anti-Semitic and anti-American government of Iran possess a nuclear bomb, no amount of actions will be able reverse the catastrophe.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran -- which revealed Iran's clandestine and undeclared uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and a heavy water facility at Arak in 2002 -- has recently confirmed that Iran is continuing to pursue its nuclear ambitions.

Advocates of Iran's nuclear deal are conspicuously ignoring the Iranian government's nuclear activities, even though they jeopardize global security as much as Israel's security. Advocates of Iran are also rushing to criticize the Trump administration in the United States for tightening its sanctions in response to Iran's illegal defiance.
In a recent interview with Iran's state-owned Channel 2 in the Persian language, Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, made it clear that the flimsy "nuclear deal" initiated by then US President Barack Obama has done nothing to stop Iran from making advances in its nuclear program.
Salehi boasted:
"If we have to go back and withdraw from the nuclear deal, we certainly do not go back to where we were before ... We will be standing in a much, much higher position."

Obama Tells Muslim Congresswoman Rashida Tliab ‘I’m Proud Of You’ After She Makes Fiery Anti-Semitic Statements And Supports BDS Movement

by Geoffrey Grider

obama-tells-muslim-congresswoman-rashida-tlaib-he-is-proud-of-her-anti-semitic-bds-movement

Former president Barack Obama allegedly told Muslim congresswoman Rep. Rashida Tlaib that he was "proud" of her during a meeting yesterday.

Newly-elected Muslim congresswoman Rashia Tlaib doesn't like President Trump, and she doesn't like the Jews or the nation of Israel. She has made multiple anti-Jewish and anti-Israel statements that drew fiery condemnation. Additionally, she supports the anti-semitic BDS Movement which seeks to punish Israel economically. She has high level supporters though, former president Barack Obama told Tlaib yesterday how very proud of her he is.
"Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion." Psalm 129:5 (KJV)
I was immediately reminded about the very contentious relationship that Obama had with Israeli PM Netanyahu, taking his hatred for the Jewish leader so far as to spend $350,000 in an attempt to cause Netanyahu to lose his bid for reelection back in 2016. Obama failed wonderfully in that attempt.
It is no surprise, then, that the first two Muslim women elected to Congress have distinguished themselves first and foremost in their expressed hatred and contempt for Israel and the Jewish people. Looks like we've successfully proven yet another ethnic stereotype. To which I will say to Rep. Tlaib, "Am Yisrael Chai".

Obama to Tlaib: ‘I’m Proud of You’

FROM WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: The freshman Democrat tweeted a picture of her standing with Obama, writing that he "met with us new members of Congress and we had a thoughtful discussion about serving our country."
"The best part was when he looked straight at me and said, ‘I'm proud of you,'" Tlaib. Tlaib has had an eventful first few months in office.
In January, the Michigan Democrat promised attendees at a left-wing MoveOn reception in Washington, D.C., that Democrats would "impeach the motherfucker," referring to President Donald Trump.
.@BarackObama met with us new members of Congress and we had a thoughtful discussion about serving our country. The best part was when he looked straight at me and said, "I'm proud of you." pic.twitter.com/cPDOth0B5i
— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) March 28, 2019
Less than a week later, Tlaib attacked pro-Israel senators, suggesting "they forgot what country they represent," as the Senate prepared to vote on legislation that would permit the federal government to refrain from working with groups that refuse to work with Israel's government. Tlaib's remark was widely condemned as anti-Semitic, the Free Beacon reported:
The comment was quickly condemned by a number of American Jews. Seth Mandel, Washington Examiner magazine executive editor, called it "the dual-loyalty accusation," and wondered whether reporters would be asking Democrats to condemn the comments. Jonathan Greenberg, a senior fellow at the Salomon Center, wondered whether "someone is gonna keep track of how many classically anti-Semitic tropes Rep. Tlaib chalks up. She's off to a flying start." Howard Lovy, a Jewish author,  called it the "old anti-Semitic ‘dual loyalty' garbage … when the first thing she raises is the ancient specter of Jewish disloyalty, you know this is going to be a rough ride."
The accusation that Jewish Americans are loyal to Israel as opposed to their country of citizenship is a classic anti-Semitic canard. A 2018 publication from the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies argues that, "[i]n its most extreme form, the charge of dual loyalty amounts to an accusation of treason."
Tlaib once contributed an article to the Final Call, the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's publication known for promoting anti-Semitism. Tlaib also supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which advocates for the boycott of Israeli organizations and companies to support Palestinian interests.
Earlier this week, Tlaib introduced a resolution urging the impeachment of Trump, despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying impeachment is "not worth it" in an interview earlier this month. READ MORE

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Posts Shock Video Implying United States May Also Support The Building Of A Third Jewish Temple In Israel

by Geoffrey Grider

secretary-state-mike-pompeo-teases-video-showing-jewish-third-temple-president-trump-recognizes-golan-heights-end-times-bible-prophecy-israel

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has published a video of his visit to Israel on his Twitter page, which omits Muslim shrines in Jerusalem but includes a model of the Third Temple there.

From a Bible prophecy perspective, Donald Trump is the greatest president since Harry S. Truman recognized the regathered nation of Israel back on May 14th, 1948. And in many respects, I would dare say that President Trump has outdone his predecessor regarding Israel. So now the question is, just how far is he planning to go? Could it be that part of Jared Kushner's secret Middle East Peace Plan contains a Third Jewish Temple to be constructed in Jerusalem?
"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." Revelation 11:1,2 (KJV)
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently posted a wonderful video of his trip to Israel where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that video is posted here below. At the 1:00 mark a 2-second image of the proposed Third Temple appears immediately following images of Pompeo and Netanyahu praying at the Western Wall. As we see this, we hear Pompeo talking about "hard fought" Israeli real estate, and all traces of the current Muslim mosque are removed. Hmm...but there's more.
President Trump shocked the global community when he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, shocked it again when he moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and yet a third time when he signed papers officially recognizing the Golan Heights to be under Israeli sovereignty. So the question now is, is he preparing perhaps the greatest shock of them all by supporting a rebuilt Third Temple in Jerusalem? It boggles the mind. But before you get too excited, please read our article below on exactly who will inhabit the Third Temple in Israel in the end times.

Mike Pompeo’s VIDEO Shows ‘Third Temple’ Model, Sparks Fears Over Biblical End Times

FROM SPUTNIK NEWS: The footage shows Pompeo visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall in Jerusalem, which is followed by a model of the Third Temple.
Some Jewish groups want to erect the structure on the Temple Mount and have triggered concerns that Muslim sites such as the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque would be affected. The Temple Mount is one of the holiest sites in the world for Muslims, Christians and Jews.
Most Jewish-Orthodox scholars believe that the Third Temple will be rebuilt by the Jewish Messiah; an event that some believe may herald the end of the world. An apocalyptic mood was reflected in Twitter users’ reactions to Pompeo’s Jerusalem tour.
In Pompeo’s video, the Third Temple model is accompanied by his  mentioning US President Donald Trump’s recent decision to recognise Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights; the occupied land was described by Pompeo as “hard-fought real estate” and an “important place”.
Great visit to #Israel to meet with good friends @netanyahu & @PresidentRuvi. Built upon our strong partnership for peace, security, and prosperity in the region. My deepest thanks to @USAmbIsrael for hosting me! pic.twitter.com/smskztLE8I
— Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) March 22, 2019
In a separate development, he told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) on Thursday that as a Christian, he “certainly believes it’s possible" that “President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace". On Thursday, Trump tweeted that “after 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognise Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and regional stability.”
The Golan Heights were occupied by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly underlining that the Jewish state would not meet Syria's demands that it retreat to the 1967 lines because they were “indefensible”. READ MORE

Israel Puts IDF On Full Alert And Braces For Massive Riots Around The One Year Anniversary Of Palestinian ‘March Of Return’ Run By Terror Group Hamas

by Geoffrey Grider

israel-idf-prepares-for-violent-clashes-land-day-2019-hamas-gaza-strip-march-return-nakba-palestinians

IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi on Wednesday ordered troops along the Gaza border to remain on alert for “various scenarios in the region,” the army said, as Israel prepares for what it fears will be a violent weekend, coinciding with the first anniversary of the Strip’s “Great March of Return” border protests.

The Jews were told by God to go in and take the land of Canaan, which eventually they did. In our day, the so-called Palestinians, who are the modern-day descendants of those same Canaanites, work tirelessly at the behest of terror group Hamas to attempt to reclaim the land they feel was taken from them 3,500 years ago.
"Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 14:21 (KJV)
But the Bible tells us that there is coming a day when Israel shall be fully restored the the original land grant God gave to Abraham, and its boundaries will be massive. That is the day when Jesus Christ will sit on the Throne of David at the Second Coming and rule this world from Jerusalem, and as Zechariah pointed out, the Palestinian Canaanites won't be allowed anywhere near it.
In the meantime, expect wars and rumours of war, and lots of them. This Saturday could easily begin the start of the 3rd Intifada, or something way worse. Whatever happens, you will read about it here first on NTEB.

Israel and Hamas prepare to square off on anniversary of ‘March of Return’

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: This week has seen tensions peak between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group, with massive exchanges of fire. Throughout these bouts, Egyptian military intelligence has been working to try to broker a ceasefire. Israel is reportedly demanding an end not only to rocket fire but to all violence along the border, including regular riots along the security fence and the launching of airborne incendiary and explosive devices into Israel.
The London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported Wednesday that Hamas conditioned an end to all violence on a wider and more comprehensive agreement to lift the blockade of the Strip, which Israel says is in place to prevent arms reaching the terror group.
Israel has conducted three military campaigns against Hamas, which is sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state, since it took power in a violent coup in 2007 — a small ground operation in 2008-2009, known as Cast Lead; a largely aerial campaign in 2012, known as Pillar of Defense; and the 50-day Operation Protective Edge in 2014, which targeted the terror group’s attack tunnels.
On Wednesday afternoon, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh came out of hiding for the first time since fighting began and visited the rubble of his office, which was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike on Monday night.
god-original-land-grant-of-israel-to-abraham
GOD HAS A ONE-STATE SOLUTION CLICK TO READ ALL ABOUT IT
In a statement to the press, the chairman of the terror group’s political wing said Israel “got the message” during its latest round of attacks. Haniyeh called on “our Palestinian people in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and abroad to participate in Land Day (March 30) and take part in the million-man march.”
Palestinian Land Day marks a 1976 decision by the Israeli government to seize thousands of dunams of Arab-owned land in the Galilee region of northern Israel.
Last year on Land Day, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip launched the “Great March of Return,” a series of weekly protests and riots along the security fence. Israel maintains that Hamas appropriated the campaign for nefarious purposes, using the civilian protesters as cover for violent military activities.
The Israeli military is concerned that the one-year anniversary of the first March of Return on Saturday will bring tens of thousands of rioters to the Gaza border threatening to breach the security fence and enter Israeli territory en masse.
Israeli defense officials — as well as Hamas’s political foe the Palestinian Authority — accuse the terror group of encouraging these border riots in an effort to distract from its failures in governing the Gaza Strip, a crowded patch of land with crushing unemployment, limited access to electricity and potable water, and few economic prospects.
On Wednesday, Kohavi visited the Gaza Division, which defends the border area, and met with its commander, Brig. Gen. Eliezer Toledano, along with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
“During their situational assessment, the chief of staff demanded the troops be prepared for various scenarios in the region,” the army said in a statement.
The military said that especially applied to the infantry, armored and artillery reinforcements that were recently sent to the region. On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces already deployed two additional brigades to the Gaza border region and called up approximately 1,000 reservists for air defense and other select units. READ MORE
