Israel and Gaza

[Homesick4Heaven]

We need to be joined in prayer over the events of today in the Gaza area of Israel. Hamas and Fatah are ready to formally recognize Israel, Israel is bombing Gaza and moving troops into the area, Syria is moving troops to support Hamas....

I understand things will play out as Abba wills them, but prayer for His will and not man's is much needed here.

I was just informed another Israeli has been kidnapped.

[HadassahSukkot]

I was reading between Israelnn.com and JPost, as well as other news sources, and the Arab groups are claiming Chemical weapon capabilities. Last night the troops went into Gush Katif (I still refuse to call it Gaza); and began raids, as well as bombing a power plant, and bridges...

Apparently there was an Arab on Arab murder that they discovered, and the arab-papers are going nuts over this..

Definitely something to be in prayer over!

[ChavaK]

Don't let Hamas's "recognition" of Israel fool you- they are only implicitly recognizing Israel by accepting a two
state solution. We all know how sincere that "acceptance" will be...they will never accept Israel's existence and will continue to try to destroy her.
Keep Israel and the IDF in your davening today. I hope
Israel will never again make the mistake in made in Aza and give up more land for "peace"....

No, it is not a signal of peace but an omen of more evil to come.

BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5122822.stm) broadcast irrefutable proof of the Hamas line: Palestinian minister Abdel Rahman Zeidan told the BBC the Hamas-Fatah document did not in any way recognize the state of Israel.

"There is no agreement between the Palestinians on specifically this phrase. You will not find one word in the document clearly stating the recognition of Israel as a state. Nobody has agreed to this. This was not on the table. This was not in the dialogue," he said.

[Homesick4Heaven]

I just heard on CNNNews that a third Israeli ( a boy) has been kidnapped, but it isn't on the site that I can find. Israeli war planes are flying over the Syrian presidents palace, and Egypt isin communication with the exiled Hamas leader in Syria. How much more can the 'civilized' world expect Israel to sit back and take without striking back!? The advice to Israel is to just calm down and not act rashly and start a war. The entire world is poking at her like a child tormenting an injured animal.

The world seems to be lining up physically against Israel. China is already in the PA for military advice. I just looked at milage, and if the North Korean missile could reach the heart of the US, it could certainly reach Israel--not even hinted at in the news, just my observation.

Abba, please protect your children! Give the leaders and decision makers Your wisdom and guidance in this horrific time.

No, as I said earlier it is a ploy to get the world leaders on their side and bring Israel to the treaty table. Then they will sucker punch them.

I just heard on CNNNews that a third Israeli ( a boy) has been kidnapped, but it isn't on the site that I can find.

Yes, so far they have kidnapped Gilad ben Avivah, the 19 year old soldier; Eliyahu Asheri, the 18 year old yeshiva student; and Noach Moskowitz, a 62 year old man.

Government sponsored attacks and kidnappings, both of soldiers and civilians, inside of Israel proper...would that not be some kind of declaration of war?

Eliyahu Asheri is the one they reported on CNN, but he looked like he was 9-12 years old. I saw the name and pic for about 3 seconds as the blurbed him past.

Ok, I didn't know a 62 yr old man was kidnapped until just now.

this is going to get ugly

[Tishri1]

our resident missionary said something about this too:prayer:Live frorm Israel: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 14:31:53 +0300

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua,

Before I take some time to update you on all of the events over the past few weeks, I want to ask you for your prayers for the young soldier Gilad (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?c=JPArticle&cid=1150885847365&pagename=JPost%252FJPArticle%252FShowFull)who has been taken hostage by the militant Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday. This is a very intense situation and if you are not aware of the torture tactics of Muslim terrorists and militants, then I need to stress to you that they use severe forms of torture when they kidnap Israeli soldiers in particular. In Israel's history in rescuing hostages, only two have been brought back alive. The situation looks bleak but we must put our trust in El Elohe Yisrael (God, the God of Israel). I plead Psalm 70 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Psa/Psa070.html#1) upon this young man's life. Israelis are going to the Western Wall to pray and are even starting prayer chains via text messaging to pray for Gilad. We are all on the edge of our seats here and the urgency can be felt. http://www.christianforums.com/t1892323-%5Bopen%5D-updates-from-a-certain-volunteer-we-all-love-reloaded.html&page=13

[Homesick4Heaven]

Al Jazeera is reporting it is over that Israel is pulling out of Northern Gaza, Israeli papers are stating either a freeze or a go for Phase III.

[Homesick4Heaven]

Haaretz says 300 are protesting at the PM's home in Jerusalem. They do not say who is protesting, buti don't think it is the so called palis. I cannot find a story to it, it is on their flash ticker.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/ShTickers.html

[Homesick4Heaven]

The hamas terrorists have given Israel until 6am Israeli time, that is 11pm EST or 8 hours from now, to begin releasing minors and women held prisoner in Israeli jails. They say if at 6am thishas not been done, it is done deal and the soldier dies.

I believe the poor boy was killed as fast as the other two were, within hours. I pray Abba moves His will in this tense situation. The settler's mother asked for something profound when speaking about her son: She said, "You went up to Heaven in a storm, like Eliyahu (Elijah) the prophet," Eliyahu's mother Miriam eulogized, in a calm and determined voice. "Now, Eliyahu - stand before G-d and speak out in favor of the Nation of Israel - don't let up until our Father in Heaven agrees to reveal Himself to His people."

I pray that Abba reveals Truth and His Son the Messiah to Israel. I pray her plea for Abba does not go unanswered.

22:18Egypt officials call for freeze of peace with Israel in protest of Gaza strikes (Israel Radio)

Haaretz news ticker just reported this. This means Egypt has sided with the PA and is now aligned against Israel. This is prophecy lining up before our eyes. The world is turning on Israel and aligning against her. Abba, please move through all involved and give them Your decisions not those of others.

[Yovel]

Eze 29:12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."

Zep 2:4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

It looks like Gaza and Eygpt's days are numbered.

]PA Broadcasts Video Calling for Child Martyrs
17:09 Jul 04, '06 / 8 Tammuz 5766
(IsraelNN.com) The Palestinian Authority has rebroadcast the infamous Muhammad Al Dura video in which a child actor playing Al Dura calls on children to die attacking Israel and go to heaven.
In 2000 the video of a young Muhammad Al Dura being killed in a crossfire was broadcast around the world. The PA Broadcasting company released a video soon after using Al Dura’s likeness to call on other children to likewise seek to be killed by Israeli gunfire and thereby find a place in paradise. The video shows Al Dura in a child fantasy land flying a kite with Ferris wheels in the background. The video opens with Al Dura waving and saying to the watching children, "I am waving not to part but to say: 'Follow me'."

There is a link here to see the video!

Egyptian TV Promoting Anti-Semitism and Child "Martyrdom"
17:28 Jul 04, '06 / 8 Tammuz 5766
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/data/images/2006/05/01/mubarak-s.jpg As Egyptian premier Hosni Mubarak portrays himself as an honest broker in the Middle East, recent Egyptian TV programs inculcate Arab children with Jew-hatred and the desire for death through Jihad.

An Egyptian cleric appeared on a children's program on Al-Nas television on June 21, 2006, and told a story from Islamic tradition in which a Jewish woman tried to poison Muhammad. After telling the story, in which the prophet of Islam is miraculously spared, the sheikh took a call from a child viewer.

Olmert: Negotiation with Terrorists Endangers Israelis
15:39 Jul 04, '06 / 8 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said today that Israel will not succumb to blackmail.

“We will not negotiate with terrorists. We will not let anyone believe that blackmail is the way to bring us to our knees. If we do this today we would abandon the citizens of Israel to more kidnapping such as this. This is a long war that requires much patience,” said Olmert.

Olmert’s comments came as Arab terrorists continue to hold kidnapped Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.

It appears, Israel is not setting sights on Syria and Damascas.

[ChavaK]

The IDF captured the murderers of Eliyahu Asheri today...
Make sure to check out the video link in the above
post- this type of Jew hatred needs to be make
known world wide. Maybe the world will finaly
see why peace with the Palestinians will never
happen. This Arab anti-semitism is world wide...:(

[Homesick4Heaven]

Thank you for the update. I missed that one on the ticker when scanning for current developments.

[BarbB]

Thank you, Homesick and ChavaK.

I was very happy to see the monsters who killed that beautiful young man were caught.

[Homesick4Heaven]

So much has happened in the last 10 days. Lebanon has killed 8 soldiers, firing rockets into Israel, kidnapped 2 soldiers and currently trying to get them into Iran. The palis are accusing Israel of using chemical / and-or biological weapons. Please check the list of sites I posted earlier for updates. There are so many things going on now. Fox News and CNN are updating now several times an hour instead of just once or twice a day.

Please Abba, protect Your children, provide justice for them. Give the leaders wisdom and as always, Your will be done in all things on earth as in heaven.

[Homesick4Heaven]

All of the news channels are reporting it is now an official war.

I would like to ask everyone to send up special prayers to Abba about two very dear friends of mine in Safed. This afternoon, they were at a cafe that was hit by a rocket 10 minutes after they left. She felt an uncontrollable craving for coffee with her doughnut and convinced her husband to just head straight home instead of grocery shopping across the street. One person was killed in the shelling. G-d saved them from harm and / or death. They are still in Safed, and will be until Sunday when they travel to Tel Aviv for a job interview. Please pray for Darlene and Eddie's safety. They are in the direct line of fire. She emailed late this afternoon and said power was going on and off, and that the explosions were close. It was shaking the window panes and smoke was heavy in the air. She thought they were about to be forced into a bomb shelter at that point (before Haifa was bombed). I am sure they are in one now.

Abba has protected them once, please pray for His continued guidance and protection upon them.

[BarbB]

Praying, Homesick - praying, praying, praying!

We pray that what abba knows should be prayed for is.:crossrc::bow: Thy will be done. We trust in you, :bow: Elohim.:amen:

I would like to point something out that most people don’t know. And the news will not tell you.

Israel shelling at rocket crews firing rockets into Israel.
Shelling and area that has just fired rockets into Israel is design to take out just the enemy. Israel has the technology that when rockets or artillery shells are fired into Israel a computer raider picks up the projectile coming in and calculates the arch and distance that it traveled. The computer will spit out the information of the exact spot that the rockets were fired from. Now! The Israel artillery unit will set there guns to blanket the area with shells, taking out the rocket crew that fired rockets into Israel. Here is what the news doesn’t report. The rocket crews will set up and fire there rockets from School yards, beaches, apartment complex, & hospitals. So the world cries out that Israel is shelling School yards, beaches, apartment complex, & hospitals. SO! To comply with the world outcry this is what Israel does. The Israel artillery unit first loads tracer shells that do nothing more then smoke, to make sure [for the world] that they are shelling the correct area. This can take up to 3min. And by that time the rocket crews that fired the rockets have packed up and are gone.
