Help us reach 100,000 on the Temple Mount Petition

Dear friends,

 

Thank you for already reading and signing the petition for the Temple Mount. Here is an update on the situation. A few months ago a historic debate was held in the Knesset Law Committee to decide if hearings should be held on the issue of Jewish ascent. Despite false testimony by a representative of the Minister of Internal Security, a vote to hold the Temple Mount hearings passed by a vote of 12-0 along with 1 abstention. However the head of the Law Committee MK David Rotem of Yisrael Beitenu is stalling the hearings for political reasons. In addition the Israeli Police are again allowing large scale illegal digging on the Mount.

Friends, now is the time to act! The Knesset is on summer break and will resume in 3 months. This gives us time to rally the world Jewry and all those who love justices and mercy for the sake of the Temple Mount. We have an historic opportunity to return Jewish Prayer to the Temple Mount; we have an historic opportunity to turn the Mount as is written in Isaiah 56:7 into “A House of Prayer for all Nations”. Where all Nations can find a common spiritual ground and stand as one before He whose Name is One. Maybe this place can help bring a little peace and tranquility to an increasing volatile world.

Please urge all your friends and family to sign the petition for Jewish Prayer on the Temple Mount and help insure that all humanity can come together and pray together. Post the petition on blogs, websites, twitter, facebook and send via email! I have spoken to Knesset Members and they want to hear your voice! They want to be empowered and emboldened to take the courageous steps that are needed to make this dream a reality. Today Knesset Member Danny Danon stated in a interview on Temple Talk, that he needs this groundswell of support! Help us reach an ambitious goal of 100,000 on the petition! At this time nearly 5,000 have signed, if everyone brings another 20 we can easily reach the goal and even more!  Check the petition homepage for more actions in the coming weeks and months! 

Thank You.

The Trouble With Unconstitutional Wars

 Congressman Paul's Texas Straight Talk

“Our foreign policy was in the spotlight last week, which is exactly where it should be.  Almost two years ago many voters elected someone they thought would lead us to a more peaceful, rational co-existence with other countries.  However, while attention has been focused on the administration’s disastrous economic policies, its equally disastrous foreign policies have exacerbated our problems overseas.  Especially in times of economic crisis, we cannot afford to ignore costly foreign policy mistakes.  That’s why it is important that U.S. foreign policy receive some much needed attention in the media, as it did last week with the leaked documents scandal…”

The Triumph Of Jewish Survival

Plenty of the persecutions against Jews were simply cause and effect. Rarely have Jews been innocent victims.

God promised to preserve all Twelve Tribes of Israel throughout the generations because of His love for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - not because of our righteousness. Furthermore, not all 12 Tribes are Jewish - most aren't Jewish. The prophecies concerning Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh are fulfilled in the British-Israelites - the British Commonwealth and the United States.

May God bless Israel and Judah to become One Nation Under God, a truly United Kingdom!

Joseph isn't Jewish!
My sojourn at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, where I served as a kibbutz volunteer for five months in 1982-1983, blessed me with memories to cherish a lifetime.

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?
Some, in clear contradiction of the Holy Bible, pretend that all Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish. Such woefully ignorant or deceptive people deny the biblical distinctions between the 12 Tribes and pretend there's only one tribe: Judah.

Israel and Judah Must Get House in Order Before King Messiah Arrives
According to the rabbis, the "Lost Ten Tribes" are for all intents and purposes "Gentiles." This information constitutes further proof that the "Lost Ten Tribes" are not those diverse claimants (African, Indians, Burmese) who maintain remnants of Judaism from somebody's former conversion or contact with the religion of Judaism.
