By A.J. Klott We can learn alot from kids. Last Friday, which incidently was St. Jean Baptiste Day in Quebec, was also the day we decided to have Grandpa’s Pond day in Shady Cove, Oregon. Everything went off just as planned. In Shady Cove, anyway. A beautiful early summer day, this is the annual “take the kids fishing and make sure they catch fish day”, that we have to help build interest and enthusiasm towards fishing for our little ones. The pond is not large, and really is a watering hole for the few head of cattle that roam the hillside on Grandpa Ray’s mini ranch. At some point, a previous owner or large water spout, deposited several Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, and who knows what else into the tiny pond.There, the fish have flourished, reproduced and turned the pond into a lovely little starting place for kids to learn to fish.Truth be told, the adults like to use it for a confidence builder also. The fish don’t get very big, and like an overcrowded meadow, it is nice to thin the herd. Anyway, my five year old daughter and her school buddy James were excited and donned in fishing hats ready to go fishing. A couple other lads, Sterling & Saxon– were supposed to attend but unfortunately their Dad must have had some bad Oatmeal and decided to do some toilet trolling instead. I know–too much information!! Meanwhile back at the pond… Grandpa had the worms ready and we had three poles ready to go.(for those of you who cringe at the term”pole”– it is acceptable when referring to kids fishing!!) Two of the poles were standard issue, fish tested, Fenwick “rods”, the third was the little “Barbie” pole I bring out for my daughter each year–complete with Tiggger bobber and bright green line. The kids are always overly excited at first and can’t wait to get the lines in the water. Luckily, it took all of thirty seconds to have the first nibbles and soon Tigger was “scuba diving” below the surface. I think the fish wait all year for us to show up too! Of course both my daughter and James want to claim the first fish and they are clamoring for the chance to reel in a six inch fish on the “Barbie-nator” fish slaying machine. I appeal to James manhood and the chauvinistic “ladies first” approach, and hand over the pole to my daughter. She loses the fish in the weeds. Lesson number one is learned, sometimes the fish wins. Lesson number one “A” is also learned, –that it is O.K. for a dad to look less than manly with a Barbie pole– but not a five year old macho boy!! It didn’t take long before the next fish was dancing around with the worm, and soon the kids were reeling in fish left and right and dropping them into the fish bucket. Well, I guess we did most of the dropping into the bucket, since the kids thought the fish should just submit quietly when being removed from the hook. The flopping and wiggling of the fish induced happy shrieks and giggles and once the fish were “stabilized” into the fish bucket– then it was O.K. to pet and observe the fish in a more controlled environment. Kids are pretty accepting at this age. They seem to understand that it is O.K. to appreciate and find the fish “cute”, as well as have them for dinner. They are fish afterall, and there is no worry of “endangered species” on Grandpa’s pond. Kids usually also have the attention span of a Cocker Spaniel at this age, so after about a half hour of catching fish,(and releasing the small ones) in order to keep it interesting for them you have to get creative. The first thing I do, is tell the kids that now we are going to try and catch the Shark that is in the pond. James thinks this is really COOL. He is a little skeptical, and more than sure that Sharks don’t live in small ponds in Shady Cove Oregon– but he is willing to go along with the “fish tale” after I let him know that these are “freshwater” Sharks. As I show him the special technique I use to entice the “freshwater” Sharks from the murky deep- I cast into the reeds and as the bait starts to circle I ask him if he thinks that it might be a Shark nibble. The battle is on and James is reeling in with hopes of catching his first pond Shark. The bright green line yields another Smallmouth and I explain that the Sharks are tricky in these waters and sometimes “grab” a smaller fish and pull the old switcheroo trick, where they put the small fish on while the line is being reeled in. James is skeptical once more. Here comes lesson number two.We fishermen and budding fishermen, live for the thought that the big one is out there somewhere and as long as we have a chance to catch it–we will keep coming back. After a few”switcheroos” it is time to “venture” off to the great unknown. The other side of the pond!! We grab a pole and without so much as packing a lunch or snack, we head off like Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher and an old bald Huck Finn. Twenty yards later we arrive at the wilds of the other side of the pond. I explain to the kids that I saw Shark bubbles over here, and we keep the Shark tale active. By now, the kids interest has turned to building a “bridge” over the great Bovine river– which is a two foot irrigation ditch- and crossing back and forth to test its engineering. Then my daughter of course wants to play “little house on the prairie” and starts doling out instructions for the homestead to James. I rescue James by sending him on another adventure. He is to go solo on a mission back to Fort Fish Bucket, and bring back another nightcrawler. It is a trip fraught with dangers, like cow pies and cockleburrs. I wish James well and soon he is sending messages back to our camp of his “leaping” over cow pies and battles with hostile sticker bushes, which have apparently riddled his socks with attachment. James returns from the frontier with a nightcrawler. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! Sara, not wanting to be left out of the great adventures, and hearing of James harrowing tales of the trail, now wants to head to Fort Fish Bucket on a mission of her own. I let her know that the well being of our continued stay out in the wilds of North pond country, will be determined on the success of her trip to Fort Fish Bucket, and the return of further provisions, in the form of a couple more nightcrawlers and a couple of hooks. With fore warnings of the imminent cow pie dangers, Sara is well prepared for the journey, and soon is stocking up at Fort Fish Bucket. Her return is delayed, as there are bugs to observe, bullfrogs spotted on the water, and flowers to pick. She finally returns to our outpost–sans hooks– which must have been lost along the trail. This limits our stay in the Northcountry, and we soon head back to Fort Fish Bucket, with a few more fish– and tales of the wild. Lesson number three is for the adults. There is so much fun to be had along the way, and the true joy of fishing is ALL the things that go on, in and around the act of fishing. The stories, the anticipation, the environment around you–all things that can be overlooked when we are hell bent on CATCHING fish. We caught a MESS a fish that day and when we got back to the ranch–it was time for the cleaning and eating of our days catch. Lesson four, is that you should wear gloves when cleaning those spiny sharp little Crappie and Bass– or at least have some band aids ready. Lesson five, was that as fishermen and fisherwomen we should always have respect for the animals that give their lives up to sustain ours. The kids enjoyed eating the fish as much as the catching, especially when you mixed ‘em up with enough mashed taters. James even wanted to bring some of his catch home so his dad could have some. We talked of the days successful fishing and James shared with us- tales of another fishing trip to Applegate lake–where he, his dad, and some friends caught some trout. Guess they weren’t able to catch any Sharks either!! A.J.

By Jaikob Mateo Only if youre trying to fool the scale on a specific date and time. Quick weight loss is advertised by diet marketers all the time. The marketing screams Lose 10 pounds over night, while you sleep” Youve heard them before, but you really dont believe them do you? I hope you understand somewhere in the back of your mind that quick weight loss is neither real healthy nor long lived. Quick weight loss should only be used if youre weighing in too some kind of competition or test. And only under a doctors care. It can be dangerous if youre not strong enough to handle the drain. On the other hand, competitors do it all the time, but they understand the weakness overriding their efforts. They understand the importance of getting back into their original rhythm. Most quick weight loss pounds are only water; very, very few fat cells. Your body will flush water out of your system and the scale will show an over night loss of some desired pounds. However, it doesnt last long. Loosing weight this way is like squeezing a sponge dry. Weigh the sponge before and it will be heavier than after you squeeze the water out. And guess what? As its dipped in water the weight all comes back. This happens with your body too. You can drink down the special diet formulas and drain your body of fluids. Its good for the weigh-in but as soon as you drink any fluids your body will hold the water and your quick weight loss soon disappears. Not what youre looking for when youre trying to fit into those new 501s. The success of quick weight loss in a no-carb diet is also this loss of water. You may be excited when you see the quick weight loss, however it doesnt last long. Once carbs are introduced back into your diet, sadly, there goes the quick weight loss. Be grateful for this, since its your body trying to create balance and keep you alive. The only proper way to lose weight is by reducing the size of those fat cells. Instead of being persuaded into a quick weight loss scheme try these small easy life style changes. These tips won’t achieve quick weight loss but by following them you will see some really great long term healthy changes in your body and in your mind set. 1.) Always have your meals with soup or salad first. This helps to fill you up before the main meal. 2.) Eat slowly. This gives your body ample time to communicate to your brain the fullness you are experiencing. If time wont allow you to eat slowly, have a meal replacement bar instead. 3.) If youre using a no-fat or low-fat dressing with your salad, have it on the side and dip your fork into the dressing before you spear the salad. This gives you the flavor without as much dressing. A high calorie dressing poured over your salad can add 200-400 additional calories to your meal. 4.) When dining out; have a to-go box delivered with your meal. Immediately put half your meal in it. Not only will you cut calories but you now have an entire additional meal for a few hours later. Your brain will produce an unperturbed feeling because it thinks you finished your meal. 5.) At a fast food restaurant, never super size your meals. I dont need to explain why; you know why! 6.) And if you must have a dessert, split it, and give the other half to that hot bodied friend you dislike so much. 7.) Finally a very real important tip for weight loss; Always think long term. These simple eating tips wont bring quick weight loss but if you start using these every day, you will start seeing the long term success. -Jaikob Jaikob Mateo is an Internet consultant and a voracious student of human nature.

By Annie Kaszina Emotional abuse doesnt stop the day you walk away from an emotionally abusive partner. Unfortunately, it will probably continue to affect you long after your abusive partner has become history, unless you discover what emotional abuse really is and how best to overcome it. Emotional abuse is any judgement, from any source, humiliates, undermines and paralyses you. People have a right to pass comment on errors you have made. They are never justified in suggesting that the errors you have made undermines your human worth. Emotional abuse keeps you focused on the past; and seeing the future only through the negative perspective of the abusive relationship. When youre in an emotionally abusive relationship, your partner will always remind you of everything you have ever done wrong and visit on you their prediction that you will never change for the better. How does your partner know this? Actually, they dont. Its only their opinion. Emotional abuse brainwashes you into taking whatever bad things your partner says about you as gospel. If they can be so sure, when you are feeling so confused and undermined, then they must be right. In fact, they sound so certain because they are heavily invested in what theyre saying. They need you to believe it so they can maintain their power over you. You cant be sure whether what your partner says counts as abuse or not. After all, he doesnt hit you; hes just telling it like it is. Maybe, its just you being too sensitive, or too demanding, or too unreasonable. Thats what he tells you. So you end up worrying: Is it? Isnt it? Because youll only feel 100% justified in taking a firm stand, if you are absolutely sure, and its so hard to be sure with words. In fact, if his words make you feel small, worthless or humiliated, and he doesnt respect or consider how you feel, that is abusive. More important, it is unacceptable. Hurting your feelings, or being careless of your feelings, however you choose to see it, is unacceptable. Period. Until you become adept at recognising verbal and emotional abuse you will continue to suffer it in your life. Because you will continue to let friends, acquaintances and even strangers behave in ways that are either hurtful or careless of your feelings. You will visit other peoples abusive judgements on yourself, until you discover how to identify them and get rid of them once and for all. Worse still, youll confuse abuse with being realistic. If ever you find yourself thinking: They can do things, because its different for them, theyre not as hopeless and useless as I am, that is an abusive judgement. Any assessment you make about yourself that denies your ability to create good relationships and a good life for yourself is abusive and wrong. How can you possibly know what the future holds? After all, if you had had the gift of foresight, you wouldnt have got involved with your abusive partner in the first place, would you? So how do you do emotional abuse recovery? 1) Understand that change is inevitable and that you have the power to make all the changes you want and need. Sure, you may not be able to make them right now, because you may not even know exactly what you want and need. What you can do, is start making one or two small changes and maybe add a few others as you go along; maybe adding a little self-care into your daily routine. The psychological burden of an abusive relationship is actually like a massive boulder. You cant push it away, but a few small changes act like putting a plank under it. The leverage youll gain will allow you to roll that boulder away, faster than you might think possible. 2) Start to reprogram your mind. You can wait until things get better to start believing that they will; or you can fast-track your recovery by starting to believe in and look for improvements. Whatever you look for, you will see. Whether your glass is half-full or half-empty, its still the same glass and the same volume of liquid. The only difference is how youll feel about it. How do you want to feel? 3) Get support. You can find support from a refuge, from a group for survivors of domestic violence and make no mistake emotional abuse is domestic violence from a counsellor, coach or other professional who understands how you have been affected by emotional abuse. 4) Get information. Not only will you find out that youre not the only one to fall for an abusive partner, youll see that all abusive partners are clones. Some hit, some dont, but they all behave in much the same way; they all say pretty much the same cruel things. Youll soon start to realize that, since they all work from the same script, what they say is not about you, its actually about them. 5) Start to count your blessings. Yes, youve been through totally undeserved pain and misery and no doubt you are still hurting, but you have a choice. You can focus on the pain, or you can start to focus on what you have to celebrate. Bear in mind that what you focus on multiplies. Consciously make time in your day, maybe last thing at night, to celebrate your health, your childrens health, a childs smile, any good thing that has happened in your day, a kindness shown to you, the sunshine, the beauty of a flower. If you commit to celebrating 10 blessings in a day, then youll have to look for them. Once you make a habit of looking for them, you will surely find 10, and more. Is that it? Its certainly a very good start. Everything suggested in this article will move you on from your hurt, victim mind-set and into an awareness both of your own worth and of all that there is for you to look forward to. The journey of recovery from emotional abuse is the journey from fear, shame, and powerlessness into joyful belief in yourself and the world. You dont know what the future holds, but rest assured that there it will be far, far happier than you can imagine right now.

By Jessica Heller, DC, CSCS In the quest to lose weight, it is often too easy to get involved in difficult, hard-to-keep- track-of diet plans, and overlook the simple steps you can take in your life to eat healthier, and consequently, lose weight. There are many simple steps you can take at home to allow you and your family to eat better. The most important change most Americans need to keep in mind is to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (grains that are minimally processed or refined.) I know what youre thinking: I dont have time to cook. I have two things to say to that. First, there are quick and easy cooking methods, such as stir-frying, grilling, and making salads, that take less than 15 minutes to do. Second, if you dont have time to cook, maybe you have too much going on in your life, and it is time to take stock of your priorities. Plan meals and shopping lists ahead of time, cook ahead on weekends and freeze meals, ask your children to help prepare meals, decrease the amount of activities in your familys life so you can have time to sit down to a meal, etc. Your health is important enough to take the time to eat right! That said, there are easy ways to get more fresh, healthy foods on the table. Start simple. Your first goal should be to eat three meals per day. Next, have one more serving of fruit per day than you do now. Keep fresh, whole fruits washed and on the dining room table, so they are easy to grab snacks. Next, try to start with vegetables by serving them two or three times a week. (Eventually, you should be eating two vegetables with dinner and limiting all starchy carbohydrate side dishes, but start with an easy goal first.) Also, prepare your own trail mix snacks with nuts, raisins, and dried fruit that are easy to keep in the car for on-the-go snacking. After these three suggestions become habit, you can try these next steps. First, do not serve any form of fried potatoes anymore. Serve only baked potatoes, and with low-fat plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Add in fish for dinner twice a week. Try at least one vegetarian meal per week. Add a salad to each dinner. Also, throw out any sugared, processed cereals and replace them with only high-fiber, low sugar cereals for your breakfasts. You should now be three to six months into your healthy lifestyle changes. Finally, switch from white bread to whole wheat. Pack vegetables to take to work every other day. Drink water with meals, instead of juice or soda. Take your children to the health food store or farmers market to pick out vegetables and other healthy foods. Throw out all high-calorie foods in the houseif they arent there, you wont eat them. There are three other easy to remember rules of thumb you can incorporate into your healthy strategy. First, if it comes in a bag or a box, it is probably not healthy for you. Secondly, fresh, healthy foods have the ability to rot. If it can stay on the shelf or in the pantry for eons without spoiling, it is not a healthy food. Third, stick to the perimeter of the store when shopping. The healthiest foods are on the outside, in the produce, refrigerated, and meat sections. The pre-packaged, canned, and prepared foods in the inner aisles are generally unhealthy. So, in six to twelve months, you have made these healthy changes in your familys eating habits: Three healthy meals each day.A salad and two vegetables with each dinner, daily. Very limited starches/carbohydrates.Fruits and vegetables as snacks at least twice per day.Fish twice per week, and a meatless dinner once per week.No juice or soda consumption.Healthier food purchasing and preparation habits. Best of all, you have managed to do this without counting a calorie, calculating a carb, or going on any sort of diet. I am sure the pounds are dropping and your clothes are fitting better. You are also teaching your children healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. Healthy eating is a lifestyle change. Keep up the good work. References: Baker, Larry C. Picking Your Game Plan.

By Teow Aun Chew The name Mi-Le Buddha first appeared over 2,000 years ago in India. The Guide to the Gospels of Mi-Le Buddha records how Mi-Le Buddha became enlightened since his coming to the world. Since his first coming to the world and vowing to become a Buddha in the Pure Land, ten cycles of Heaven and Earth have elapsed. In this tenth Cycle, the seed he sowed sprouted and the fruit ripened, and its time for him to harvest it. When he reveals his true identity, the world will become a Pure Land. In the Red Yang Period (2,500 years ago) in this Cycle, Sakyamuni Buddha descended to Earth from Tusati Heaven and was born in Northern India. Mi-Le Buddha followed him and was born in Southern India. After Sakyamuni Buddha was enlightened, Mi-Le Buddha traveled from Southern India to Northern India to follow Sakyamuni Buddha in Sravasti. When Sakyamuni Buddha initiated Mi-Le Buddha into the monastery, he stated that Maitreya Bodhisattva had already attained Tao and that he would enter Nirvana twelve years later, and then lecture in Tusati Heaven. Anyone who wanted to be a follower of Mi-Le Buddha must follow the Five Disciplines (not to kill, not to steal, not to be lustful, not to tell lies and not to drink), do the Ten Goodwill Measures (not to have greed, rage, and infatuation, not to sow discord, not to flatter, not to talk in abusive tongue, not to speak recklessly, not to kill, not to steal, and not to be lustful), and chant the name of Mi-Le Buddha. After fifty-six billion years the followers would follow Mi-Le Buddha descending to Earth, listen to sermons in the Long-hua Assemblies, (Long implies the True Self. Hua implies the life. Long-hua Assemblies means that everyone has his True Self and life combines together and meets in Heaven), and become enlightened. However, Mi-Le Buddha has left traces of his descending in the world many times, but the mortals couldnt recognize him. In South-North of China, Mi-Le Buddha descended as Fu Da-shi. In Tang Dynasty, he descended as the Monk with Cloth Bag (or the Laughing Buddha). Presently, all statues of Mi-Le Buddha in China are in the form of the Monk with Cloth Bag, which unveils his chest and abdomen. When the Monk with Cloth Bag was about to leave the world, he sat on the east side of the temple and said, Mi-Le is the real Mi-Le. Mi-Le has innumerous images. His appearance is shown to people constantly, except that people cannot recognize it. Therefore, the number of fifty-six billion is only a symbol. Both the Bible and Koran prophesy the end of the world and the coming of a world savior. The Doctrine of the Mean states When the Saint descends one hundred generations later, there will be no doubt to the Truth. One generation is about 30 years and in the teachings of Tao of Heaven, Mi-Le Buddha already came as the 63rd Patriarch and his Heavenly title is Ching Kong Chu Tzu. He is the savior of the White Period (now) where the world is coming to an end by the destruction of the Last Catastrophe of the Third Period. This destruction will be by the water, fire and killer wind called Gang Feng. The Bible describes as The Final Judgement. My Heavenly Teacher JiGong said, “Man is destroying and killing numerous sentient beings in every aspect. How can such behavior not make God (Lao Mu) in wrath and descend the merciless doom (disasters and catastrophes). After many years, the guilt accumulates and Man becomes ghosts and ghosts become Man. The enmity and resentment from every injustice must be repaid whether one is dead or alive.” T.A Chew was told in year 1994 that in twelve years time (2006), Maitreya Buddha has a great mission for him to do. Not knowing what the nature of the mission, it is now clear that the mission is to propagate the teachings of Tao of Heaven, because Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha in charge of the Heavenly Court to save righteous souls back to Heaven.

By Michael Russell If you sit down and really think about it, there are more kinds of breads than you can possibly imagine. While we’re certainly not going to try to cover every single variety and brand, we will touch on a few of the more common ones. While nutritionists will claim that it’s probably the most worthless thing you can put in your mouth because of the refined white flour, white bread is probably the best selling bread in the United States anyway. The brands of white bread are numerous to say the least. You’ve got your Arnold, Wonder, Pepridge Farm and a slew of others, not to mention all the bargain basement store brands. But white bread isn’t just white bread anymore. You’ve got your thin sliced, you diet white, your enriched white and so on. No two white breads even taste anything alike. When you think about it, that’s not a bad little trick, even if they all do have the nutritional value of a tree stump. So thank goodness we have whole wheat bread to the rescue. While most commercial whole wheat breads probably still have too much sugar in them, they’re still a step up from white, especially in the fiber department. White breads have almost no fiber at all while whole wheat breads have anywhere from 2 to 3 grams of fiber per slice. So if nothing else, whole wheat breads, not to be confused with whole grain or multi grain breads, are great for keeping you regular. Most of the white bread companies also make whole wheat, but your better whole wheat breads are the off brands. Then of course you have your rye breads. Rye bread is something that you just have to have with corned beef. There’s nothing like a corned beef sandwich with a little mustard on a good Jewish rye bread. Most of the better rye breads come with caraway seeds, which are pretty much an acquired taste, but there are those that come without seeds. Probably the most popular rye bread is Beefsteak Rye. Think we’ve covered it all? We haven’t even scratched the surface of the bread army. There’s rye’s fancy cousin, the pumpernickel bread. This bread is probably one of the heartiest and tastiest breads you will ever want to eat. These breads are very high on fiber and can be a meal in themselves. Then of course you’ve got bread’s cousins. These are your rolls, bagels, croissants and the like. Each one of these has their special purpose. For example, rolls, which come in a zillion varieties alone, are great for sandwiches where you want to really pile up on the lettuce and other condiments. Bagels are great for cream cheese and other spreadables and croissants are good all by themselves or with a little butter or jam. And still, we’ve just scratched the surface. Yes, there are more kinds of breads for more kinds of occasions than you can possibly imagine. Of course that doesn’t mean that you can’t slap a couple of meatballs between two slices of rye bread. Who knows? It might actually be good.

By David Ben-Ariel “Jesus answered them, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin” (John 8:34). The whole issue of the “Jews of John” is SPIRITUAL in nature, not physical. It is dishonest at best and deceptive at worst to attempt to turn Jesus’ words about spiritual slavery into some slanderous racial argument against the Jews! Yet such is standard procedure among some hateful “Identity” groups that give all who understand and embrace the Israelite origins of the West a bad name. The vast majority of those who celebrate our Hebrew roots, who understand Joseph isn’t Jewish, are neither racist or anti-Semitic and includes a growing number of Jews, just as prophesied, exemplified by Brit-Am Israel. Jesus acknowledged that Abraham is the father of the Jews physically, but not always spiritually (John 8:37, 39, 42, 44). The same can be said and is true about all Twelve Tribes of Israel. In fact, the commission of the Two Witnesses – in the spirit of Elijah – is to restore our relationship with our Fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and thereby through their true religion reconcile us to our Heavenly Father (Malachi 4:6; Isa. 49:5-6). Today, generally speaking, both Jews and Joes (Israelites) behave like Gentile bastards! (Hos. 2:4; 5:7). No wonder our nations will soon plead with God: “Doubtless you are our Father, though Abraham’s unaware of us and Israel doesn’t acknowledge us: You, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer; your Name is from eternity” (Isa. 63:16). Those anti-Semitic salesmen like the Aryan Nations, who pitch slanderous hate literature against all Jews (failing to differentiate), are of their father the Devil who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. The worst offenders are those who profess to love God and yet pollute the Name of Christ pretending to be Christians: “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer” and “if a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar” (1 John 3:15; 4:20). The frightening fact that some are so consumed with a blind hatred of Jews, espousing quack theories about Khazars, slopping swill about “the Serpent’s Seed,” and cooking up psuedo racial “science” (besides salvation is of grace not race), coddling up to Israel’s terrorist enemies and preferring a perverted “Palestine” over the Promised Land of Israel, aiding and abetting those who would dismember the prophesied Jewish Homeland, proves the existence of an irrational evil entity filled with bitter frustration and wrath! “Although Satan hates every human being, he especially hates those descended from Jacob-Israel (the Anglo-Saxon and Jewish peoples). He knows they’re instrumental in his eventual overthrow. And out of Israel he’s targeted the Jews. They’ve born the brunt of his brutality. Why? Because: 1. Many of the top positions in God’s Kingdom (under the Fathers) will be filled with Jews! That explains the spiritual significance of the “Jewish conspiracy” theory. Satan’s feeding people with half-truths and grotesque exaggerations, poisoning minds against the Jews and anything “Jewish.” He sneers at their accomplishments and turns their praise into persecution! 2. The Jews are representative of all Israel, and they (not Ishmael!) hold the Promised Land in trust for all Twelve Tribes (Rom. 3:2). 3. The Jews have preserved the Bible (John 4:22), thereby retaining the knowledge of the true God and His Sabbath and Holy Days (and when to properly observe them). 4. The Jews are LIVING PROOF of God’s invincible plan! No wonder Satan feels threatened by any Jewish presence and has repeatedly attempted to erase them from off the face of the earth!” (excerpt from Beyond Babylon: Europe’s Rise and Fall). May God grant freedom and repentance to all Israel, both Jews and Israelites, and reunite us as One Nation Under God, a truly United Kingdom (Ezek. 37:22). Meanwhile may God help us to gather and not to scatter Am Yisrael (the nation/people Israel) as we prepare to meet our God! David Ben-Ariel is a Christian-Zionist writer and author of Beyond Babylon: Europe’s Rise and Fall. With a focus on the Middle East and Jerusalem, his analytical articles help others improve their understanding of that troubled region. Check out the Beyond Babylon blog.
