Prayers for the Month of May 2018:
“To see God more clearly,
to follow Him more nearly,
to love Him more dearly.” \u00a0St. Augustine<\/p>\n

Prayer meditations on the National Day of Prayer May 2, 2018:<\/p>\n

Looks like President Trump is going to have to pay the piper and will be lucky if they don’t impeach him.<\/p>\n

When you lie to reporters, even if you aren’t sent to jail for it, you are lying to the American people and are subverting our Democracy as much if not more than the Russians were trying to.<\/p>\n

I did not vote for President Trump but was glad to see him get elected because both of the Clintons, if you count them a group, are admitting national leaders who have lied to us.<\/p>\n

As, Ms Daniel’s lawyers said, and a lot of FBI agents whom integrity President Trump has tried to subvert for his own personal goals, the “Chickens (your lies) have come home to roost.”<\/p>\n

“Friends don’t lie.” and “To have a friend, be a friend.”<\/p>\n

Some Omer counting thoughts about the Kingship of Friendship:<\/p>\n

44th day Gevurah of Malkuth \u00a0“A friend in need is a friend indeed. Contribute to the needs of God’s people [sharing in the necessities to the Saints]; pursue the practice of hospitality.” St. Paul Romans 12;13
45th day Tiferet of Malkuth
“By seeing good in other: with God’s help, We see the Christ in you. ” Let your love sincere, a real thing.” Romans 12:9
46th day Netzach of Malkuth
By standing by our friends:
We will walk with you till the Son of God always shines.
“Hate what is evil [loathe lying and all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good.” Romans 12:9
“Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others joy], and weep with this who weep [sharing other’s grief].” Romans 12:15<\/p>\n

We are all fallible humans, but some of us are “humans of God” and feel compelled to repent and correct our mistakes, not concatenate our lies, when they are pointed out to us.<\/p>\n

@realDonaldTrump<\/a> So you do know what the word Truth means after all? Good for you and good for Rudi Giuliani for getting you to admit it. If the President of our country, if the USA does not tell the truth, to US and others then you and it are nothing. Something to pray about?<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Message: Hi, friends, this is Andrew Harrell talking with you. I was recently in Israel and interested in
finding there where the Messianic Jews who followed on after Joseph Rabinowitz worship. Is it
anywhere in Jerusalem? I went to Christ Church at the joppa gate and they didn’t know. He was a friend
of my great grandfather Adoniram Gordan. I am a Christian zionist Jew
I have a website and email address at http:\/\/www.ourprayergroup.blogspot.com and
http:\/\/www.yhwhschofchrist.org andrewharrell@yhwhschofchrist.org. I have to go now. Thanks for your
help in advance.
God Bless

Thank you for writing to us at Jews for Jesus. I’m Simon from our offices in Tel Aviv, Israel.<\/p>\n

There are quite a number of Messianic Congregations throughout the country, though I’m not sure
which ones have been directly influenced by the teachings of Joseph Rabinowitz. As the Messianic
Body in Israel was only a handful of people during his lifetime, and has now grown to nearly 10,000 \u2013 it
is possible that we have all been influenced by his teachings.<\/p>\n

I do know that one of our staff members wrote a short article about him 20 years ago:

Dear Long Time Prayer Friend Simon,\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks for your very helpful reply to my question about any living legacy of Joseph Rabinowitz<\/p>\n

in Jews for Jesus Prayer Services. I have been to several Orthodox Saturday Sabbath Torah services
and noted that the Torah is carried up to the Bimah in the center by attendees. I even did it myself in a
Messianic service on Simhas Torah in a Northern VA congregation in 1983 I think. I also noted that the
Name of God YHWH is not used in the prayer verses but Adonai or H’Shem or Yod Yod.<\/p>\n

Have you considered using YHWH Adonai in the Amidah prayer requests as Joseph Rabinowitz did to
indicate that you believe that for some of us the Messiah, Jesus has already come?<\/p>\n

Also, you might want to carry both the New Testament and the Torah up to Bimah in order to read both
Testaments in the service. I know in some Messianic Jewish books on the Torah study, John Parson’s “A
Year Through the Torah” for instance both testaments are studied and read.<\/p>\n

You could also ask people to come forward like like in a Baptist Church and accept Christ in the service.
In my opinion you could be more like “Jesus for the Jews”, like I AM, if you did this.<\/p>\n

Blessings in Christ,<\/p>\n

Ron Lahad, a former Israeli army commander, and international security trainer, was the Odessey\u2019s Unlimited Tour Director.

I asked Ron if he knew Major Golan in the Israeli army officer who came to Vicksburg in the 1990s and I had dinner with, at Walnut Hils I think, and with a Brigader General in Israeli Army Intelligence in order to help them learn about ways of testing Armoured vehicles, to measurer their obsorbed power at the driver\u2019s on and off road.\u00a0 <\/span>According to Ron, Major Golan has been promoted and is now Vice Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army.

on Holecaust Remembrance, after seeing the visual historical Holecaust memorial on it. Have you been there to see it<\/span><\/div>\n
its a good way to meditate on how souls are resurrected from the river and the past and go through the Cathedral and<\/span><\/div>\n

The wonderful teacher hero said in her opinion it shows our government has failed us, failed to protect the teachers<\/span><\/div>\n
and the kids from gun violence. I prayed that Trump and Congress will not only increase funding for mental health, but<\/span><\/div>\n
also ban AR-17s and increase funding for better gun registration oversight and follow up. That\u2019s just common sense.<\/span><\/div>\n

Our tour featured going through the Independence Hall where the state of Israel was declared in 1948 and now is a museum of the history of Zionism. We visited the white city around Rothschild Boulevard. Baron Rothschild provided a lot of the funding from Europe to start the country in the last century. It comprise the world\u2019s largest collection of Bauhaus buildings. After having lunch together at a local restaurant. We headed to the nearby town of Jaffa, visiting the ancient port, flea market, and reconstructed Artist\u2019s quarter of galleries and boutiques.\u201d<\/div>\n

Figure 3 Theodore Hertlz, one of the main founders of modern Israel. When modern Israel started in 1948. Nobody spoke Hebrew back then, There was a group of 56 settlers which became 66 families Maier Mayor one of the major founders of Tel Aviv, said \u201c A blessing will come out of this\u201d. His prophecy was fulfilled in 1948<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
In the 1940s there were only about 100 Talmud strudents. So the state of Israel exempted them from Army service, Muslims also don\u2019t have to serve if they don\u2019t want to.<\/div>\n
Of the British, the famous Lawrence’s friend, General Wingate, a special forces operator who died later in a glider raid in Burma, \u00a0<\/span>and Winston Churchill also played a large role.\u00a0 <\/span>It was here the Balfour Declaration was proclaimed started the state.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
There is on one side an\u00a0 <\/span>intellectual and spiritual help from the secular and\u00a0 <\/span>Hasidic Jewish Zionists:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In 1800 the Sephardim constituted 95 percent of the Jews in Palestine, but by 1840 this fell to just less than 70 percent.\u00a0 <\/span>The more secular Sephardim were from Turkey, Syria, the Balkans and were joined by Sephardic Jews from the Barbary States of North Africa shared a common mode of prayer and used a similar pronunciation of Hebrew\u201d. In their prayer service they tended not to emphasize belief in the immenent coming of the Messiah as much as the Ashkenazi.<\/div>\n
In the 1840s they were replaced more by Askenazi Jews from Russia and Poland. And some from Romania and also Austria Hungary. They believed their presence would hasten the arrival of the Messiah and embraced a mystical version of Hasidic Kabbalism based on a personage known as the \u201cBaal Shem Tov\u201d master of the Good Name, that Name being of course the\u00a0 <\/span>ancient four-letter Tetragrammaton, YHWH, YHWH Adonai, YHWH Sabaoth,\u00a0 <\/span>of Jewish and Pythagorean Christianity.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In the book, the Making of Modern Zionism, the intellectual origins of the State of Israel by Shlomo Avineri we have names cited like:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1)Nochman Krocmal in his book The Guide to the Perplexed of our Time, attempted to show that maintaining a Jewish identity did not contradict the universal philosophical imperatives of Kantian and Hegelian idealism. Human history is not a series of meaningless occurances, there is a telos to history. Society, the nation, the spirit or ruach of the nation, are the main subjects of history. He sees the Jews as a nation one of the many nations that contributed to world history, introducing the concept of One God and his manifestation in human history. At the point where Judaism became a world religion through its offspring Christianity Hegel had ended his dialectic. But, Krocmal continued it making the rationale for the existence of the people of Israel in their separateness and apartness from a world of paganism. Hegel had argued that the victory of Jewish monotheism in the form of Christianity made the separate existence of Israel superfluous. And, in fact Krocmal could point to the fact that after the Romans and the Greeks, the Jews did\u00a0 <\/span>not disappear from the historical scence.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
2)Heinrich Graetz To Graetz the Jews are a nation possessing historical continuity and a story unfolding\u00a0 <\/span>in time and place, undergoing changes and transformations like other nations. He takes issue with tradional Christian historiography which loses all interest in Judaism after the destruction of the second temple. He sees Judaism not only as a national phenomenon but also inextricably bound to the Holy Land of its birth. He sees Judaism not as a revealed religion, but as \u201crevealed legislation\u201d. It is also\u00a0 <\/span>characterized by the special emphasis it puts on the futre as an essential moment of its own self-consciousness. But, he sees Jesus as not unique, but just one of several Jewish leaders of the time.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
3)Moses Hess\u00a0 <\/span>(1812-1875) The founder of German Social Demoracy, his remains\u00a0 <\/span>were reinterred in the cemetery of the first Kibbutz near Lake Tiberias. But, he ended up arguing that\u00a0 <\/span>Jews suffer from a lack of universal consciousness and have a future in modern times only as individuals and not as a collective entity, and as individuals they should merge into the general universalism. Her in the heart of Europe the New Jerusalem will be built.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
4)Yehuda Alkalai remained within Orthodox Judaism and its quest for redemption rooted in the traditional Messianic yearnings of Jewish Religion. Everyone should be taught spoken Hebrew in order to create a unifying mode of communication. He believed in the traditional appearance of the Messiah Son of David, who will be preceded by a first Messiah, called the Son of Joseph, taking the vision of both of these people as a person. Since he believed both of these had not come yet, he obviously did not accept standard Christian theology that Jesus Christ is already both of these people.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
5)Perez Smolenskin (1842-1885) One of the founders of arguments for Jewish emigration out of Russa to the West. To North America, England, South Africa, Argentina and also Palestine. He lived through the wide-spred pogroms of 1881, mainly in the southern district of Russia where the population was densest. He create a group of Jewish maskilim or enlightened ones. He turns after an initial rejection to the land of Palestine as a place to develop national consciousness that will provide a collective solution to the problem of how to develop Jewish identity.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
6)Eliezer Ben Yehuda (1858-1922) Associated with the revival of the Hebrew language as a spoken, everyday language for the Jews.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
7) Aharon David Gordon The first significant Jewish thinker whose ideas emerged from a confrontation with the reality in Palestine itself. He founded a Labour Zionist party in Russia and Palestine., not guided by doctrinaire socialism, or mobilizing all our national energies through manual labour. and considered the Exile as a way of rebirth.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>And on the other side of the still active theological divide: there are us and our friends the Christian Zionists in the 19th<\/sup> and early 20th<\/sup>century:<\/div>\n
A good reference for some of the history of this is \u201cThe Lord Shaftesbury Origins of Evangelical Christian Support for a Zionism Jewish Homeland.\u201d By Donald M. Lewis, Cambridge U.Press.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The letter of British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour of 1917 certainly changed the political factors in Europe helping to change history and establish a Jewish state in Palestine:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cI have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of his majesty\u2019s government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
His Majesty\u2019s Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, an will use their best endevours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I should be grateful if you should bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
But, what historical factors and changes in the 19th<\/sup>century in the mindset of British Victorian evangelicalism preceeded and led to this declaration\u00a0 <\/span>in the 20th<\/sup>century?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
According to the historian Babara Tuchman, who has studied both China and Japan and IndoChina during World War II and also the Holy Land then and before, book\u201d \u201cThe Bible and Sword: England and Palestine from the Bronze age to Balfour.\u201d The main reason was the legendary history of travels of Biblical teachers and prophets from ancient Palestine to Britian.\u201damongst these travellers according to Ms Tuchman were the Biblical Gomer, a descendent of Noah, the ancient Phoenicians, Roman Britians, Joseph of Arimathea in whom tomb Jesus was buried, the first Crusaders, including King Richard, many Middle age Pilgrims, Henry VII who first published an English translation of the Bible in 1538, merchant naval adventurers to the levant in the Elizabethan age. English Puritans interested in Calvanistic prophecy in 1649,<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
However, I believe more in the affect of the French Englightment and Revolution, Scottish and English Enlightenment during the late 18th<\/sup> century going into the 1st<\/sup> half of the 19th<\/sup>and the development of English and German pre-millenialist high Calvinistic theological prophecy.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Both Martin Luther and John Calvin had a consistent position when\u00a0 <\/span>they were preaching that denied any ongoing significance to Jews and Judaism. This theological position goes back to Augustine. However as early as 1590 in the reformed Calvinist theology scholars were rejecting both of these theological opinions.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Puritan Revolution and its subsequent failure had long-term implications for Judaism in England and in America. Religious non-conformity was immensely strengthened by the Great Ejection of Puritan clergy from the Church of England in 1662.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThe decisive turning point in Christian-Jewish relations can be traced to the impact of the French Revolution on European Protestantism, and especially on British Evangelism\u2026 One of the most striking features of this change was the creation of a small but growing missionary movement that was determined to take the message of the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. There was also an impact of German speaking\u00a0 <\/span>pietism and a growth of\u00a0 <\/span>philosemitism (Philo-Semitism<\/span><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>Judeophilia<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is an interest in, respect for and an appreciation of\u00a0<\/span>Jewish people<\/span><\/a><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>their history<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and the influence of\u00a0<\/span>Judaism<\/span><\/a><\/span>, particularly on the part of a\u00a0<\/span>gentile<\/span><\/a><\/span>.)<\/span><\/div>\n

In 1809 the\u00a0 <\/span>London Society for the Promotion of Christianity among the Jews (LSJ) was founded.<\/div>\n

Charles\u00a0 <\/span>Simeon (1759-1836) Was an influential Anglican minister in the first half of the nineteeth century who inspired generations of Cambridge undergraduates in the importance of jewish evangelism, but not as much the prophecizing of their return to Palestine. \u201cHe retained his postmillennial perspective and never embraced the new Adventist interpretations that were to emerge in the 1820s.\u201dop cit. page 61 He stands in a tradition of teaching of esteem toward the Jews. \u201cCalvinist interpretations of scripture which nurtured the new teaching of esteem had a great impact on the attitudes of English-speaking Protestants toward the Jews. During this period there was an explosion of interest in the imminent return of Christ, known as the Second Coming. Upon the scheme of postmillenism the return of Christ would occur after the inauguration of the thousand year reign of Christ. In its nineteenth century form premillenialism had a key role for Jews in the final events of World history., something that is also shared with Pietism\u2019s \u201chopes for a better future\u201d..the leading prophetic writers who came to light in the 1790s (Scott, Faber, and BichenO) were postmillenialists who insisted on giving the Jews and their restoration to Palestine a promiment place in their prophetic schemes\u2026.It is a common mistake of historians to ascribe nineteenth century evangelical interest in the Jews to premillennialism.\u00a0 <\/span>What the prophetic minded who made so much of the Jews had in common was not premillennialism or postmillenialis, but a shared Calvinism what resonated with the idea of the divine \u201celection\u201d of the Jews.

\u201cHigh Calvinism\u201d is a strong rejection of the Catholic tradition of Natural Law, with its emphasis on a common human nature on the one hand, and with Romanicism\u2019s emphasis on the distinct and peculiar characteristics of \u201cnations\u201d on the other.\u201d Op. cit. pages 66.67,68<\/div>\n

What is the difference between \u201cHigh Calvinism\u201d and \u201cLow Calvinism\u201d?\u00a0 <\/span>Here is an excerpt from a discussion about it on the internet www.puritanboard.com<\/a>:<\/div>\n

Low Calvinist = infralapsarian<\/span>
High Calvinist = supralapsarian<\/span>

<\/span><\/div>\n
According to the\u00a0infralapsarian<\/b>\u00a0view the order of events was as follows: God proposed,<\/span><\/span>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. to create;
2. to permit the fall;
3. to elect to eternal life and blessedness a great multitude out of this mass of fallen men, and to leave the others, as He left the Devil and the fallen angels, to suffer the just punishment of their sins;
4. to give His Son, Jesus Christ, for the redemption of the elect; and
5. to send the Holy Spirit to apply to the elect the redemption which was purchased by Christ.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0supralapsarian<\/b>\u00a0view the order of events was:<\/p>\n

1. to elect some creatable men (that is, men who were to be created) to life and to condemn others to destruction;
2. to create;
3. to permit the fall;
4. to send Christ to redeem the elect; and
5. to send the Holy Spirit to apply this redemption to the elect<\/p>\n

The question then is as to whether election precedes or follows the fall.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

William Wilberforce was a chief architect of the remarkable growth of evangelical influence within the Church of England.<\/div>\n

Henry Drummond (1786-1860) English banker, politician, member of the Royal Society\u00a0 <\/span>and writer helped found a Catholic Apostolic Church along with Edward Irving and Robert Haldane in 1826, was a member of Parliament associated with the Conservative Party.\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A High Calvinist (as opposed to his more famous namesake Henry Drummond, 1851-1897\u00a0 <\/span>another evangelist, but more of a liberal Methodist who taught the importance of Natural Law and not predestination,\u00a0 <\/span>wrote the famous Christian classic \u201cThe City Without a Church\u201d. He was a friend of my great grandfather, Adoniram Judson Gordon also a pre-millenenist like the earlier Henry Drummond).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
In 1929 Henry Drummond, the High Calvinist, published six theological points on which his school of pre-millenenist theology could agree on:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1)This dispensation or age will not end insensibly but cataclysmically in judgment and destruction of the church in the same manner in which the Jewish dispensation ended.<\/div>\n
2) The Jews will be restored to Palestine during the time of judgement.<\/div>\n
3) The judgement to come will fall principally upon Christendom.<\/div>\n
(in fact looking back on it it as occurring during the American Civil War, World War I and II, it fell on both Christendom and later on Judaism).<\/div>\n
4)when the judgement is passed, the millennium will begin (looking back on it I believe that we are now in the new millennium)<\/div>\n
5)The second advent of Christ will occur before the millennium (this has in fact occurred for a lot of us I believe).<\/div>\n
6) The 1260 years of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 ought to be measured from the reign of Justinian to the French Revolution. The vials of wrath (Revelation 16) are now being poured out, and the second advent is imminent.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Eg. Ezra Stiles at Yale and Asa McFarland in 1808 voiced the opinion. That the fall of the Ottoman Empire was imminent and would bring about Jewish Restoration,. In 1825 Morecai Noah founded a national home for the Jews on Grand island in New York as a way station on the way to the Holy Land. In 1844 George Bush a professor of Hebrew at New York University and cousin of an ancestors of the President\u2019s Bush, published a book \u201cThe Dry Bones of Israel Revived\u201d. Restoraionist theology , Chjarles Simeon as Postmillennial, and James Frere, James Stewart and Edward Irving who were Pre-milliennialists, during this period was inpsirations for the first American missionary activity in the Middle East. In 1878 as the Niagara Bible Conference there was a 14-point Dispensationalism, Pre-millennisalist declaration..In 1890, the tycoon William Blackstone published a book about the need for Jews to convert to Chrisitianity either before or after the second coming.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In Britian, in 1831 McCaul was appointed president of an Anglican society for Jewish missionary service.\u00a0 <\/span>Lord Shaftesbury, the British Foreign Secretary , perhaps as Bible conscious as Cromwell, established a consultate in Jerusalem in 1838 to reflect his zeal for this ancient people. In 1841 a joint Anglican and German Pietiest bishopric was established in Jerusalem.\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In 1849 the Anglican Christ Church was built in Jerusalem by the London Society for Promoting Judaism (LSJ) and it still functions today inside the entrance to the Joppa Gate of the Old City and just next to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Via Dialorasa, which itself it at the end of a pathway from the present Western Wall below the city going to the Church of the Holy Seplucher following the Holy path of Jesus\u2019 cruxification after his entrance on Palm Sunday, going up to the Most Holy of Holies in Herod\u2019s Temple.\u00a0 <\/span>Shaftesbury\u00a0 <\/span>was perhaps the main instrument of implementation of a Chritian pre-millenianist Zionism during this period. It was has vision that there be an Anglican Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In 1839 The Church of Scotland sent missionaries to report of the condition of Jews in Palestine..In 1840 the Times reported the the British Government was considering jewish restoration. One prominent figure\u00a0 <\/span>who supported the restoration was William Hecler, an English clergyman who was also the chaplain of the British Embassy in Vienna, later to become a close friend of Theordore Hertzl.<\/div>\n

Joseph Rabinowitz, a close friend of co-founder of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary Adoniram Judson Gordon,\u00a0 <\/span>is sometimes said to be the Theodore Herzl of Messianic
Judaism.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>He was born and lived in Kishinev Russia (the area is now a part of
Moldava and the Jews there suffered much from Chrisitans). In 1881 he and has
brothers set up a Jewish agricultural society there. Believing the only
future for Judaism depended on it restablishming itself in the Holy Land, in
1882 he travelled to Palestine to set up a community of believers there. He
converted to Chrisitianity (chose to believe in Jesus Christ as God\u2019s Son,
believed in Him as a savior and a brother, and was baptized a Christian in
Germany in 1885). He believed \u201cour brother Jesus\u201d to be the key to opening
the way for Jews to return to the Holy Land. A Christian council in London
was set up for his support in 1887 and he travelled to the U.S. to spend 35
days and attend the Moody Bible conference in Chicago in 1893. There he
shared a room next to A.J. Gordon at the conference. He was declared by him
(Gordon) to be a new Isaiah.<\/span><\/span>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He chose to use the name YHWH in his group\u2019s prayer service as opposed to the
name Adonai to reflect their belief that the Messiah for Judaism had already
come in the person of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


<\/span>Joseph Rabinowitz\u2019s Seven articles of faith:\u00a0<\/span>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. I believe with perfect faith, that our heavenly Father is the living\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>and true, and eternal God who created heaven and earth and everything visible\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>and invisible and invisible through His Word and His Holy Spirit. All things\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>are from Him. All things are in Him. All things to Him.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>2. I believe with perfect faith that our heavenly Father has, according\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>to His promise made to our forefathers, to our prophets, and to our King\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>David, the son of Jesse, raised unto Israel a Redeemer, Jesus, who was born\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>of the virgin Mary, in Bethlehem the city of David, who suffered, was\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>crucified dead and buried for our salvation, rose again from the dead, and\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>liveth, and sitteth at the right hand of our heavenly Father, from thence he\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>shall come to judge the world, the living, the and the dead. He is the\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>appointed King over the house of Jacob forever, and of His dominion there\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>shall be no end.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>3. I believe with perfect faith, that by the counsel of God and His\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>foreknowledge, our fathers have been smitten with hardness of heart for sin\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>and for rebellion against our Messiah, the Lord Jesus, in order to provoke\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>the other nations of the earth unto jealously, and to reconcile all through\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>faith in Christ, by the word of His Evangelists, in order that the knowledge\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>of Jehovah should cover the earth, and Jehovah be King over the whole world.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>4. I believe, with a perfect faith, that through faith in Jesus, the\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>Messiah alone, without the works of the law, a man may be justified; that\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>there is but one God, who justifies the circumcised Jews by faith, and the\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>uncircumcised through faith and that there is no difference between a Jew and\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>Greek, between bond and free, between male and female. There are all one in\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>Christ.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>5. I believe with a perfect faith, in a Holy Catholic and Apostolic\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>church.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>6. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>7. I wait for the resurrection and renewed life of the dead, and for the\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>life of the world to come. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Thy salvation, I wait, O Lord; I wait, O Lord, for Thy salvation, O lord\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>for Thy salvation I wait.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a debate between Rabinowitz and other Jewish rabbis in Kishinev Russia in\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>1884 these articles were compared with those of the Church of England and the\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>differences were argued between Ziegler a brother in-law of Faltin\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>representing the orthodox Jews and Rabinowitz and other Hebrew Christians\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was noted that the first four articles are in almost perfect agreement\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>with the first four Christian ones. However, Rabinowitz omits mentioning that\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>there are three persons of one substance in the godhead. Yet he affirms that\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>God creates and upholds everything by His Word and His Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Holy Land itself in 1936 Charles Orde Wingate earned the rank of Captain in the British Army, learned Hebrew, and served three years in Israel as a British intelligence officer.<\/div>\n
He organized and trained \u201cSpecial Night Squads\u201d, comprised primarily of haganah fighters who were successfully employed throughout the Yishuv \u00a0(a term referring to the body of Jewish residents in the land of Israel). He was called \u201cha-yedid\u201d, the friend.<\/span>\n
Some 20th<\/sup>Century Christian Zionist Theologians<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Reinhold Neibuhr\u00a0\u00a0— Whom I listened to sermons about for 17 years in a Methodist Church in Vicksburg,MS was an important liberal realist Protestant who taught at the University of Chicago and Union Theological Seminary in NYC. He taught a Gospel centered in natural law and love like Henry Drummond the Methodist theologian of the late 19th<\/sup>Century.\u00a0\u00a0He was however, a realist, not a Platonist or idealist like myself.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I believe if St. Andrew was a human today he would be an idealist\u00a0\u00a0Christian Zionist<\/div>\n
This is because to be a Saint and and a mathematician, I believe for complicated reasons explained elsewhere you have to believe in the reality of numbers, like a lot of logical positivist don\u2019t. Neibuhr was not a logical positivist like Betrand Russel for instance, an atheist, buty a strongly believing, committed Biblical Christian who created a journal to explain the reasons why he believed Israel is special in God\u2019s eyes.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Paul Tillich the Princeton Christian Existentalist philosopher and theologian was a friend a of Neibuhr and helped him develop\u00a0\u00a0his thoughts on Biblical Christian Zionism.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
For a more detailed discussion of the reasons they came up for supporting Israel see<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Recently at the Third International Christian Zionist Congress held in Jerusalem February 1996 issued a proclamation that the modern ingathering of the Jewish People and the rebirth of the nation of Israrel are in fulfillment of Biblical prophecies, as written in Both the Old and new Testament.<\/div>\n
However, in 2006,\u00a0 <\/span>the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Catholic), the Syriac Orthoxdoc Archdiocese of Jerusalem, the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem land the Middle East and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land published a declaration rejecting Christian Zionism as substituting, in its view, a polical military program in place of the teachings of Jesus Christ.[1]<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
A short summaryof some the attempts of Hitler\u2019s Germany to stop development of a Jewish Holy Lnad:<\/div>\n
Early invovlvement of the NAZIS in the middle East and Levant<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Like Nietzche, who taught a theory of salvation based on human will to power by itself without God\u2019s help,But, they taught, after it could be useful to them,\u00a0 <\/span>that Islam is not a religion of slaves, but of warriers.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Before and after World War I, Sefardic Jews already in Israel along with about 1,000,000 Arabs. After the Nazi targeted them, a vast majority of\u00a0 <\/span>250,00 Ashkenazi Jews began to migrate to Israel, The British agreed to help them make Israel their official State.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Amin Al Husani, whom the British gave the name, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was a messianic Arab leader who was charismatic, and an anti semite trained by the Nazi.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1936-39 he \u00a0<\/span>inspires some Arab nationals to attack, terrorize the British, the Jews, along the Arab moderate majority who still believed in a peaceful reconciliation with Israel. He is made a wanted man by the British and flees to Germany on November 25,1941 to study with Hitler whose books he had studied and whom he idolized. Hitler hands him over to the head of SS Himmler and he becomes one the head SS operating the Middle East then and after the War. Hitler pronounces him the \u201cFurther of the Middle East\u201d and He goes back there and teaches that Islam is not a religion of Peace but of Warriers with a deep hatred of Jews Jewish liberalism from Europe.<\/div>\n
In early 1945 Himmler sent the Mufti to Britian to\u00a0 <\/span>recruit a volunteer Mufti Divison in the German SS of 26,000 men.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Germans created propaganda to undermind British and Jewish goals and exploit Arab nationalism resistance against Jews and convince thme that there is a Koran teaching that now is the time to start a \u201cJihad\u201d against Israel which makes the slaughter of the Jews a religious responsibility. The current hatred of Jews in the Middle East by terrorist organization like Hamass goes back to this period. He, the Mufti, visited Sachenhausen concentration camp to learn how to organize the abduction and interment of Jewish detainees in Israel.He requested Eichmann to expand the \u201cfinal solution\u201d progam to Israel by sending Nazi advisors to Jerusalem to register detainness for concentration camps He had already created a downsized version of this when the chief Nazi expert on building concentration camps, Walter Rolfe foolowed Rommel around in his attempt to cross the Nile into Egypt. Over 25000 interned Jews were murdered in North Africa before the allies we finally able to stop Rommel at the Battle of El Amin. If we had lost nothing would have stopped them from completing this.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
After the War the French briefly held the Mufti in custody, but he escaped and returned back to Jerusalem as the most well known leader against Zionism and enlisted help in murdering and intimidating those Middle Eastern leaders who wouldn\u2019t go along with his post war Nazi policies. He enlisted his cousin to assassinate King Husailn of Jordon who wouldn\u2019t agree to go along.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Information on Ex-Nazi activites water WWII<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
After World War II, Otto Skozeny was the main person responsible for helping the Mufti convert Arabs in the Middle East to Nazism. Paradoxically, he may have been working for the Israeli\u2019s and Amerians while doing this. After his comrades helped him escape from an American prison were he was being held, he trained about 400 Werewolfs to operate in Austria and Hungary. These were small groups of 4 to 5 independently operating sabateurs. He wrote the 1st<\/sup> terrorist manual for interrupting lines of communications, and railroad with improvised explosives while blending in with the local populations. He became a propaganda element of Goebbels married up with military units. But, in the end these behind the line troops were only able to kill about 1000 allieds, so he turned to using them to set up what later became the rat-line escape routes down through Italy to Egypt , later Argentina, and Spain.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Skorzeny, after holding up in the Alps, he decided to give himself up again to the Allied and conduct his rat line operations from inside of prison, communicating through some of his agents he had already trained. Eventually in 1948 he he steps out of prison with the help of these former Werewolf agents and hide out for a while in France, Spain, then Argentina (where we think Hitler had escaped to from Narvik Finland and was living at this time,.. or possibly not if Hitler thought Skorzeny was being run as an Allied agent against him\u2026 it would have made sense for the allies to let him escape and track him in order to find out where Hitler might be.).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Wherever he went, after WWII, it seems Skorzeny was involved in organizing ex-Nazis after the war for political military intrigue.\u00a0 <\/span>When he went to Argentina he was Eva Peron\u2019s bodyguard.\u00a0 <\/span>He travelled to Ireland and bought a house there in the late 1950s organizing ex-Nazi\u2019s there and finally died of cancer in Spain, in the mid-1970s. As mentioned he was in charge of Nassar\u2019s military terrorist operations, earlier, against Israel before the 1967-68 Arab-Israeli war. I seem to remember information about him being involved with General Schwarzkopf\u2019s father, along with Kermit Rossevelt, and the US in overthrowing Mossedeqh and installing the Shah as head of Iran. Since he had been in US custody after the war and debriefing, presumably, interrogated, tracked very thoroughly after then. The fact that he was running pro neo-Nazi activites after that was obviously known, if not also sponsored by the CIA for counterintelligence purposes.<\/div>\n
This is very troubling as a possible source of our own, the US\u2019s involvement and self-creation of the cold-war against Russia for our own purposes and interests similar to Skorzeny\u2019s and Hilter\u2019s during this time period of our nation\u2019s history.. Richard Helms, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger bear a lot of the responsibility for this.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Even though it is said he died of cancer in Spain in the 1970s he was possibly killed by the Israeli\u2019s after they finished using him to assassinate the heads of the Egyptian and Syrian Biological and Chemical Warfare programs. They certainly had the justification, the means, and ability to do it using some type of biological poison developed from information from experiments at Dachau on malaria and other biological weapons he and Borman and Hilter traded to the us after the war in order to be allowed to continue operations if not against us, against the communists.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Henry Kissinger, and Richard Helms must have been the ones in 1973 who helped Walter Raufe, Skorzeny\u2019s assistant relocated to Chile, start concentration camps there. This enabled the assassination of Allende through guns smuggled in a diplomatic pouch, as reported in Congressional oversight hearings and books on the subject that I read and listened to at the time while in Washington DC. Allende was supporting communist control of the country. Richard Nixon, George Bush Senior and the people who helped them in the CIA in the 1950s, clearly know a lot more about this then they have told us in the famous Congressional hearings in the early 1970s which prohibited the CIA from conducting any more assassinations of State leaders. \u00a0The rest of us have not figured out enough about how this happened and why, I don’t think,\u2026yet<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In Northern Italy, after Hilter\u2019s people visited the lakes with mosquito malaria biological warfare vectors, Anopheles, developed in research at Dachau about 100,000 contracted malaria and either died or suffered painful injuries. This program was developed by Erich Martinez, Hilter\u2019s friend, In Numerberg, Dr.Claus Schilling, another SS biological warfare expert who worked at Dachau and had coordinated Nazi research in this with Japan where they developed how to produce Black Bubonic plague vectors in Manchuria for air release on the western cities of US. They was a famous U-boat information exchange in which he met the head of Japan\u2019s program in the middle of the ocean under water and exchanged all the information from both programs.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In operation Axis conducted by the Nazi\u2019s in October 1944 against Jews in Palestine. It aimed at establishing an intelligence base in Mandatory Palestine, radioing information back to Germany and recruiting ad arming anti-British Palestinians by buying their support with gold. The plan failed and no significant meaningful action was taken by the commandos. But, according to some authors the plan included a well thought strategy to posion the drinking water of the residents of Tel Aviv. British and German archives have yieled no information about it. But, Tel Aviv is surrounded by swamping marshes and there has been problem with malaria since first creation after World War I.\u00a0 <\/span>Is it possible Schilling and Martinez\u2019s Anopheles mosquito vectors were the planned method of attack? Martine and Schilling and Walter Raufe were captured by the Allies and Israelis and used as counterintelligence agents against Syria and Egpty high up in their proposed developed of Chemical and Biological Warfare programs after the war. Maybe this is what Netanyahu is referring to when he is talking about it now, with hints that they used Skorzeny, but not talking about it by explaining enough about it for the rest of us to understand the complete harmful double dealing deceit in it.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
All of 55 SS officer\u2019s all under the command of Wolfe, who was later turned by the American\u2019s and the Israelis and helped us stop the development of use of this type of biological warfare, along the Nazi nuclear development program in Egypt and Syria. During this combined intelligence operation large number of Nazi\u00a0 <\/span>SS were infiltrratrated to Egupt to work under Nassar by Skorzeny. Skorzeny himself was caught several time then either release or along to stage prison escapes by his Allied captures in order to use him to assassinate the program leaders under Israeli and possibly US direction.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In 1953 Skorzeny arrives in Egypt and is appointed the Eqyptian leaders military advisor to set up Arab guerrileas in 1950s and 1960s he trained the PLO;sYassar Arafat, Sadam Husainn they developed rockets in Egypt to be used against Israel.<\/div>\n
In 1956 a Egypt outs British advisors and Nassar is in charge.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Ever since 1948 a small bands or raiders under Skorzeny\u2019s direction had been attacking Israel.<\/div>\n
260 Israeli are killed or injured in 1953.<\/div>\n
He even treained some American Neo-Nazis in Egypt to help all .<\/div>\n
All opposition parties and 75,000 Egyptian Jews were expelled.<\/div>\n
Then he relocated to Spain where he starts the \u201cPaladan\u201d group and operate from there.<\/div>\n
Boith the Grand Mufti and Skorzenzy lived well into the 1970s.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The student of Hilter\u2019s student the Grand Mufti of Egypt Saddam Hussein wasn\u2019t stopped until the 1990s.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0The Mufti, after instigating a pogrom against Jews in Palestine in 1920, the first such pogrom against Jews in the Arab world in hundreds of years, went on to inspire the development of pro-Nazi parties throughout the Arab world including Young\u00a0<\/span>Egypt<\/span><\/b>, led by Gamal\u00a0Nassar….<\/span>

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Grand Mufti’s student, in the Muslim brotherhood, Sadam Hussain was<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>not caught by US forces in Iraq until the 1990s. After recent release of CIA documents, we think that Hilter was alive in South America until at least 1962, even if he didn\u2019t have Eva Braun with him as Russain intelligence disinformation tried to claim in the 1970s. He probably escaped from capture by the allies towards Nazi submarine headquarters in Narvik Finland, then flew by seaplane, refueled by U-boats along the 8000 mile journey, and attempted to form a Nazi republic in South America, in Argentina, then Paraguay, where a Nazi heavy water production plant for nuclear weapons was built, and Uruguay, then Chile where over 200 concentration camps were built by Karl Wolfe, Hitler’s Supreme SS commander in Italy. He escaped after the war and was possibly consulted by the US and Israeli intelligence services to stop the develop of nuclear weapons in Syria and Egypt.<\/span><\/div>\n

Now back to the narrative of our Cal\/Berkeley Alumni Association trip to Israel, 2018:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

On Sunday morning at Mt. Carmel I had a good discussion with Hadassah, one of the modern Jewish settlers whose husband now works for Microsoft in Seattle. She is an artist who practices modern expressionism or Dadaism as defined in the period after World War II in Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Spain. Why Dadaism, because Daaism had to do with expressing feelings where therr is no meaning and purity after the destruction of society. So, some of the pictures she paints look like they are part of a Buddhist Bardo, where God may or may not be in control. This is what Purgatory is called by Christians, but we believe God is in control of it.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Also, we had a discussion with Tom Elder, one of our group, who is an agnostic. His name is the same as Jesus’ Apostle St. Thomas, so one might expect him to be the “doubter” of the group. \u00a0He believes if you, a human, ever \u201cfelt\u201d the power of God you wouldn\u2019t be able to \u201cknow Him\u201d. But, I believe that if you ever have \u201cknown God\u201d you would not need to feel Him to know He exists. So, Tom are you saying that Jesus who has and still is a human, never felt God, or that after feeling the power of Him, \u00a0HimSelf, His Father, and the Holy Spirit, and the \u00a0on the cross He wouldn’t still believe in Him. I would have to disagree about that, from my own experience. I still feel the healing power of the Blood of Jesus, His Father in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit, coming down from the Cross inside of me, from back then in my past, \u00a0and I still believe I still know all Three of Them.<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you have faith as big as a mustard seed, you can move these mountains.\u201d Gospel of Matthew, Jesus talking about the peaks around the Lake Tiberias region.<\/h3>\n

On and off-road movement corridors for attacking and defending tank units deployed to the North, below, in front of and to both sides of the Sea of Galilee and Golan Heights<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Figure 4 Valley of Tears, as seen from Mt. Bental, in the Golan Heights, where a crucial tank battle was fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War between\u00a0 <\/span>Israel and Syria. This was the fourth largest tank battle ever fought and \u00a0<\/span>of the most heroic and important. The Golan heights is very strategic because its rocky slopes make armoured movement impossible. And if the roads are blocked with obstacles it is even more difficult to move through. 1400 Syrian tanks sup;imented by special attack vehicles, armoured briding vehicles attacked 177 Israeli vehicles. Today the Israeli Air Force helps to dominate the Golan Region.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Although massively outnumbered, the Israeli forces managed to hold their positions on the first day as the Syrians led\u00a0 <\/span>with 900 tanks. The next day the Israeli were in a better position to destroy many Syrian tanks. And on the fourth day of the battle the Syrians withdrew,after attacked with 70 T-72 specially equipped tanks, just as the Israeli defenses were almost at the point of collapse.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The situation the smaller Israeli tank armoured untis faced against the Syrians in 1968 was similar to the one the US forces defending aced aginast a stacked uip across the IGB(inter German Border) armouned units in the 1970s and 1980s. How do you defeat a larger attacking tank armoured force trying to overcome the defending forces who are trying making maximum use of manuever terrain advantage in the defense.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The wargaming solution was developed by General Dom Starry, my US Army mentor and Cal Berkeley ROTC Professor Col Barnard’s, boss while he was involved in special operations in the South Delta in Vietnam, and commander of TRADOC ( US Army training commond) then later of USAREUR (US Army in Europe) with covering force commander of\u00a0 <\/span>maneuver armoured cavalry anti-tank units set up in a network of terrain movement corridors a set of occupied and unoccurpied battle positions.. The size of the terrain corridors are determined by the roads and off-road movements corridors that the tanks are able to traverse in order to maintain the throughput of attacking forces. The war gaming effectivenessis also determined by the firing rates of the attacking and defeinding forces, the kill probablies of the different offensive and defense weapons that arefired.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
General Starry who founded the main US Army contracting war gaming company in Bethesda MD, Concepts Analysis may have come up with his ideas after studying the techniques the Israelis used to stop stacked up Soviet made T-72s attacking the Valley of Tears in the on and offroad battalion sized unit movement corridors below the Golan Heights.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
After being give the problem by General Schwarzkopf who was Deputy Chief of US Army Operation Plans in the Pentagon in the early 1980s, and Col. Marshall and some Defense Intellencience General in the Defense Nuclear Agancy of how to calculate the effect of US Enginer Units empacling obstacles in the criticql backtracking nodes of the movement networks on the throughput flow rates of Soviet attacking forces trying to cross the IGB and reach the Rhine River Frankfurt in 90 days without having to \u201cgo nuclear\u201d:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This problems still exist in the Korea Barrier Emplacement plans today under short warning attack scenarios of the north Koreans toward Seoul and the possible\u00a0 <\/span>counter attack of our Joint Republic of Korea and US Forces into the North Korean movement corridors lof battalion sized tank unit movements toward the North Korean capital.. And is probably being intensely studied as I write this as we preparing for a possible conventional and nuclear War there.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
With the recent discoveries of highed valuable Natural Gas fields, the Natural Gas being needed as an alternate energy source and for proposed de-salinization plants \u00a0<\/span>to replace dwindling water resoures on both sides of the Golan, it is an incentive for the Iranians them trying to retake this former Syrain territory below and bethind the Golan heights, the Israeli Army is also probably studying it.<\/span>

May 8,2018<\/span><\/div>\n
(BEIRUT) \u2014 Syrian state-run media said Israel struck a military outpost near the capital Damascus on Tuesday, saying its air defenses intercepted and destroyed two of the incoming missiles. The reported attack came an hour after President Donald Trump announced he was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, calling Tehran a main exporter of terrorism in the region.<\/span><\/div>\n
The official news agency SANA said without elaborating that the attack occurred in the countryside in Kisweh, just south of Damascus, an area known to have numerous Syrian army bases. Syrian TV earlier reported large explosions in the area.<\/span><\/div>\n
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the missiles targeted depots and rocket launchers that likely belonged to Iran\u2019s elite Revolutionary Guards in Kisweh, killing nine people. The group, which closely monitors the Syria war through a network of activists on the ground, said it was not clear whether those killed were Revolutionary Guard members or members of a pro-Iranian militia. The report could not be independently confirmed.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This update on the situation with the military disposition of forces around the Israeli\/Syria Golan heights DMZ may reflect what I wrote two weeks ago.<\/span><\/div>\n
Any movement of tanks or rockets into different areas of a network of movement corridors in this area could disrupt he military balance of power already agreed to.<\/span><\/div>\n

@Andrew\u00a0<\/span>Harrell<\/span>\u00a0Not continuing to agree to the Iran Nuclear deal does not disincentivize North Korea to make a peace agreement with us.

Figure 5 Ruins of Capernaum, where Jesus started his ministry, reading from the seven Hatorah\u2019s of Isaiah. St, Peter, St. Andrew, John and Jesus all lived around here.on Lake Tibereas. It deeply feels like my home, as much as my wonderful house on Drummond St. in Vicksburg, MS, feels like home to me. And, in the area around it there is a good place to fish. Here in Israel, Lake Galilee is a good to place to fish because fish lay their eggs on its shores, around Vicksburg it is because of the many fishing ponds and lakes around the backwater floods here when the winding Mississippi River reaches flood stage. Because of the water resource problems in Israel, there didn’t seem to be any danger here of flooding from the water overtopping the shores of Lake Galilee into this ancient, venerable, important teaching site sacred to Christian Judaism.<\/p>\n

* here are some thoughts and comments on this wondelful prayer, gained after many years of praying it: Among many of the purposes and benefits of this prayer<\/span>
it helps us better understand how our faith is “The light of the One increasing”.<\/span>
The One God in this prayer is undivided, but he is also an individual inside<\/span>
of multiplicity. He speaks as well as acts. That is He does what He says, acting by speaking (decreeing). He has created all of us…and, He is compassionate to us all as different types of beings. Thus, when we dedicate<\/span>
the merits of our own actions to the glorification and sanctification of His Name, YAH YHWH ADONAI SABBAOTH, we are at the same time dedicating them for the benefit of “all sentient beings.” We have preserved in Him the name of a responsible person that we can dedicate the merit of our work to… not just an absolute consciousness inside of us all. Our God is both the “Totum Bonum” (total good) and the “Summum Bonum” (highest good). This prayer affirms that, for us, He cannot have one of these titles and purposes without the other; and not the other without this one.<\/span>
He or she who has God’s love in their heart and knows the total good that God has placed in our souls and spirits…they are themselves a source and blessing of His or Her hope and this Good unto others.<\/span>
He or she who has God’s love in their heart and knows the highest good that God has placed in our souls and spirits…they are themselves a source and blessing of His or Her faith and this Good unto others.\u00a0<\/span>

In the prayers below you will note an important change from the current standard Jewish prayer book translations of these prayers, in addition to different transliteration schemes from the standard Ashkenazi. The Name of God YHWH Adonai, has the Pythagorean Christian Russian Christian Zionist, \u00a0 tetragrammaton Name of God YHWH placed before the Name of God Adonai in the prayers. \u00a0This is because before reaching this point in our prayer we should have already sanctified the Name of God YHWH at the top chakra of the Holy Spirit coming down from Heaven to Earth to help us in our prayers. This is in accordance with Jesus Christ’s procedures in the Lord’s Prayer where he instruct to sanctify the Name of God YHWH, as standard procedure like He wore on the Essence Tefillam Shema prayers that He started then, His, Jesus Christ’s prayers, then, and still does now, every day.

In the back of the hotel there is a history room honoring the Scottish missionary doctors who came to the region to help and conduct evangelism in the 19th or early 20th centuries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, you will also want to visit the Mt. of Beatitudes using the hotel as a base.<\/h3>\n

Jesus teachings on the Mt.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Beatitudes may have come from studying and performing the above prayers every day: His teachings should also be prayed in the morning in the correct order as given in the Bible, as a Daily Hallel, a Ashre prayer, an affirmation about how God\u2019s greatness, goodness, Kingship, dwells in us as a Holy Spirit, in order to help us best find happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some thoughts and words I told St. Mary and others of the group visiting the Church of Annunciation, Palm Sunday trip, March 2018:<\/h3>\n

The purpose of visiting this place is to listen and be silent, in order to hear the still small voice of God, and what He is telling you here. \u201cHail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you\u201d,You can talk the talk, but if you do not listen you are not walking the walk.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jesus was in the line of David through his father Joseph. St. Mary practiced then and still does, like our travel partner Mary Engstrom, a method of contemplative prayer in which you construct first a series of denial that anything bad has happened, and then affirmations, that, if it is God\u2019s will the good we seek will manifest itself in our lives. This theology is alive today\u00a0 <\/span>in the Unity School of Christianity\u2019s teachings of the Christian Scientist Charles Fillmore.\u00a0 <\/span>The way to help all of us as Jesus did is to listen to each of us individually.\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Today wherever you are you can \u201cBe Still and Listen to the Still Small Voice of God\u201d for your guidance.\u00a0 <\/span>As the Zen Buddhist\u2019s teach \u201cWhat is the sound of One hand clapping?\u201d It is the sound of the Alpha and the Omega in our Eternal consciousness of God\u2019s Truth Trying to guide us forward, helping us to just keep on going like we are going, forever, Eternally.<\/div>\n

Figure 7\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Boat from the same time like the one St. Peter, St. Andrew, fished in.. During the time it was used Jewish zealots were hidden in caves surrounding the shore of Lake Tibereas defending the area against attacking Roman Legions. We think the occupants of this boat were killed as it was sunk during a Roman attack.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boat was discovered in the mud on the shore of the Sea of Galilee-Lake Kinneret, in January 1986, by two kibbutz members of kibbutz En Gev. It is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for the kibitzers because of the endless stream of tourist money it will generate for the kibbutz. It should be thought as a blessing left for the current inhabitants of area by the former Christian Jewish people who lived there, the souls of Saint Andrew, Saint Peter, and Jesus Christ still living and dwelling here in this place similar to the way they did so long ago.<\/h3>\n

In order to “raise it up” from the sea bottom where the mud had acted as a preserving agent for it, to bless us visiting it in the new millennium, at first a small pit was dug around the boat and the mud cleared within it. Mud was removed from numerbered boxes within it. The pit was deepened and enlarged and a suspended platform constructed to enable the excavators to dig without causing damage to the boat. While the excavation was in progress a constant spray of water was maintained to protect it from exposure to direct sunlight. Fiberglass ribs were installed between the original frames and the craft was filled with polyurethane foam. Tunnels were dug and filled with the foam which hardened to serve as external supports and encase it in a fiberglass cocoon. A tiled reinforced concrete pool was built to shelter it during the conservation process. Finally a steam shovel cleared a channel from where it was resting to allow it to float to the present exhibit area where it is now on display to the public.<\/p>\n

The original construction of the boat, as compared to other mediterranean vessels of this classical period, \u00a0turned out to be quite fascinating in itself. The keel and planking had bee edge-joined in the classical fashion using mortise and tenon joints locked on place with tapered hardwood pegs. There are twelve wood types that comprise the boat: christ thorn, carob, aleppo pine, hawthorn, cedar, tabor oak, sycamore, laurel, willow, judas tree, plane tree, atlantic terebinth. The frames were made from naturally curved tree crooks and branches, mainly oak and provided transverse support. The vessel provides a major contribution to the study of water transport and the history of the Galilee area.<\/p>\n

This type of boat was surely that from which Jesus taught the crowds and also gave his famous advice to Simon Peter: \u00a0“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch” \u00a0Simon answered: “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But, at your word I will lower the nets. When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.”<\/p>\n

Contemplative prayer and meditation for spiritual enlightenment, salvation, freedom from suffering and ills can be thought of as crossing a river of eternal, semi-eternal life, from earth on one side to an eternal kingdom of heaven in and on earth on the other side.<\/span><\/h4>\n

It consists of a short dialogue between God and Moses after his soul finally became a Saint, through redemption in Jesus Christ, and ascended to heaven.
The 1000 year old, but not 3000 year old teaching of these Kabbalists asserting that God is a Verb, and hence by sin of omission that He is only a Verb, can be found in the book Shulcan Aruch (prepared table0, Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Creation), and the Torah commentary Zohar.<\/p>\n

According to the Hasidic teaching in the Tanya, Moses said to God, your Name, or my Name, if I AM speaking for you is I AM WHO I AM, which is a verb.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is my parable about it:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God said, \u201cHow are you doing old friend, what is my Name?\u201d, \u00a0then Moses said: “Your Name Lord God Almighty is a verb that says “I AM WHO I AM, OR I AM THAT I AM.”<\/i><\/b>
<\/i><\/b>But, God said, \u201cNo, you got it wrong, my Name is not only a verb, which by itself is not a sentence or Truth or the Truth which my Name is, but My Name is \u201c IAM the Way (a verb), the Truth (a sentence), and the Life ( a person).\u201d<\/i><\/b>
<\/i><\/b>\u201cI guess I AM going to have to send My Only Son, as a person, down to heaven on earth to be the Life and the Way, in order that all humanity can be Truth or the Truth as well as you and I.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

information from the internet:<\/span>
“The Temple Mount, where the First and Second Jewish Temples once stood, is the holiest place for the Jewish people.<\/span>

<\/span>
<\/span>( comments from Andrew: To give equal time to Ron and many other orthodox conservative and reform Jews who don’t believe this, they claim that when the Temple was destroyed the Presence of God left the place and since that time it was transferred to the Western Wall, God instantiated in space and time as a wall, an obstacle to us attaining our spiritual goals and perfections.. But, I believe that our God is much more omnipresent and compassionate than that, instantiating Himself as as perfect “emptiness” a “righteous dharma Truth” as the Quran foretells and seals to help Muslims learn about Him, even though they claim it is impossible to “know” Him in the fullness of Truth in Him that His Son Jesus became and still is, or definitely not in whatever or some sense that we want to spiritually. Perhaps the ancient temple of Herod or Solomon will be rebuilt in the future. I do not know, and so far it has not been given to me to prohesize about this. So far, from talking to God about it a little, it seems to me He is satisfied with the current situation in which Israel has been restored to His Homeland, his descendants are as manifold as the stars, and the Throne of Christ, God’s Only Son Jesus Christ has been restored inside the hearts and minds of those who believe in Him and call upon Him as their Savior and Lord of all.)<\/span>

<\/span>\u00a0Today, two famous houses of prayer \u2013 the al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock \u2013 the third holiest site for Muslims \u2013 reside on the Temple Mount. For the Jews, the Temple Mount \u2013 Mount Moriah \u2013 is sanctified by the belief that here God\u2019s divine presence (the Shchina<\/i>, in Hebrew) resides for eternity.<\/span>1<\/span> For Muslims, \u201cHaram esh-Sharif<\/i>\u201d (\u201cthe Noble Sanctuary\u201d) \u2013 the Arabic term for the Temple Mount \u2013 is sanctified by Muslims\u2019 belief that adjacent to where the al-Aqsa mosque stands was the destination of the Prophet Mohammed\u2019s Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem on his winged steed (al-Buraq) and that it was from this spot that the Prophet ascended to heaven.<\/span>\n

Since the days of the Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini in the first half of the twentieth century, and all the more so after the 1967 Six-Day War and the unification of Jerusalem, the Mount ceased to serve solely as a site for religious ritual and prayer for Muslims and as a sanctified memory for Jews; it took on additional significance. In the days of the Grand Mufti.”\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>the Mount was transformed into a religious-national symbol for all Muslims and became a hub of protracted national and religious conflict between the Jewish world and the State of Israel, and the Muslim world, the Arab states, and the Palestinian public. Over the years, the conflict over the Temple Mount has been the catalyst for many waves of violence and terrorism.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>Despite the fact that the State of Israel respects the sanctity of the Temple Mount for Muslims, limits Jewish visitors, and even prevents the exercise of Jewish rights at the site, Muslims deny any Jewish historic and religious connection to the Temple Mount and harass Jews who visit there. In April 2016, after a request from the Palestinian Authority, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), an organization dedicated to protecting heritage and culture worldwide, handed down a decision to no longer use the term \u201cTemple Mount,\u201d but to only refer to the area as \u201cAl-Aqsa.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
In June 1967, the Temple Mount underwent a fundamental change after Israel liberated Jerusalem and unified the two parts of the divided city. For the first time since 136 CE (the crushing of the Bar Kochba Revolt), a Jewish sovereign entity controlled the Temple Mount. The status quo on the Temple Mount was established in the first days after the Six-Day War, but over the years it has undergone many changes.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>Figure <\/span>12\u00a0<\/span><\/span>One of several\u00a0 <\/span>Ancient Mikveh sites in the ancient community of Essenses who lived in Qumran. These meditators and prophets were an exiled sect from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. There writings were found preserved in the the caves surronding the archeological ruins. They were sheep and goat herders, eating meat had\u00a0 <\/span>the first Jewish head and arm Tefillim that we have uncovered. We think, John the Baptist, the originator of our Baptist religion was a trained member. And, that he Baptised Jesus, who was of the line of David, into their beliefs. The mikveh, like modern day ones, have a series of steps that you used to descend slowly into almost total immersion.<\/span><\/div>\n

Important Note: Since I made this trip with UC Berkeley friends in 2018 I have discovered the exciting archeological UTube tours of Israel by Joel Kramer, a Christian Evangelist who married a Mormon and has help start a Biblically based ministry that explains Mormonism to Christians.<\/div>\n
This spot where I am pictured here below the Menorah is right next to where we now think the Last Supper and Pentecost was experienced an celebrated by the 12 Apostles after Christ’s death and resurrection at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher already discussed. Joel, in his UTube tape on his tour of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher explains why we are now pretty certain this Church and not the Garden Tomb is the actual site of the crucifixtion and resurrection. \u00a0Constantine’s Church was built over the remains of an earlier site going back to the Time of the Roman Emperor of Hadrian [verified by inscriptions on the building materials going back to this period]. The newly discovered [in the last century] Church of the Apostle here is now a Jewish Synagogue, and we are pretty sure, also the first Christian Church, used during the period after 33 AD in the first century with an apse in which a Jewish Torah was placed [probably the Greek Septagiant Torah and not the present day Mesorah Hebrew translation]. The synagogue is called the “Tomb of David” because in the book of Nehemiah this area of the city of David and the caves across the valley, by the wall of Hezekiah, is referred to as where Saint David’s ancestors were buried and probably where His bones are located]. Joel thinks the actual tomb of David is not in this synagogue but in the caves across the valley and what he says in the Tube videos seem to make sense to me. But, for sure, if this building was where the last supper took place and a Jewish Church was located here for services with the Torah apse window pointed toward the site of the crucification and not the Holy Temple itself it makes sense that it is the “First Church of Christianity” and one of the Holiest if not the Holiest [the Holiest being the Church of the Holy Synagogue itself] Christian sites in the World. \u00a0notes and timeless historical comments and discussions added by Dr. Andrew W.

Many Jews claim that the western wall is the most Holy Place of Judaism. It is said that when Herod\u2019s temple was destroyed, God\u2019s presence left it and entered the Western Wall. I do not agree, for as I believe that God is not always a Verb, so on the other hand, He is not always a wall. He does not play favorites either very often. Now the archangel Gabriel is a Verb, and the archangel Michael is wall. These two highest totum bonum, summan bonum, total good, highest good, angels which sit on the top of God\u2019s Holy Temple indwelling us today, as a Holy Ark of the Covenant are pretty much the highest expressions of God, meaningfully and intellectually. But, God\u2019s presence, His instantiation in our human souls as a Holy Spirit indwelling us as the Lord God of Hosts, overwatches both these main archangels in an intellectual nothingness and without meaninfulness of Peaceful Spirit, Peaceful Truth, even as the current Haram El’ Shariff on the Temple Mount does, and even as His Highest Good, Peaceful knowledge of Himself dwelling through His Name YHWH Christ, Jesus Christ, YHWH Saboath, does, even as it becomes a 1,2,3,infinity like the Torah being a Tree of Life bearing these good fruits of the Holy Spirit indwelling in us in the multiple image and likenes of Himself, overseeing The One image and likenss of Himself, His Only son Jesus, as a Tree of Eternal life, which balances out and controls and expresses both His left and His right hands expressing Himself through us, indwelling as a Holy Spirit in us.<\/div>\n
Tradition says it that King David always contemplated the Menorah at the different Holidays of YHWH during the year while he was in the wilderness.
If you believe that Saints are real people living today among us you can meditate on the candles of the Menorah as types of Christ, branches of righteousness in God’s Eternal Tree of Life.
What are the liberal Protestant theological beliefs required to understand how people’s eternal soul’s can be living Saints among us? \u00a0I believe you have to be a mathematical theologian like Plato and me and believe that numbers have a reality inside of people and us and the World. \u00a0During October we will be studying some of the complicated details of this theology starting from my review of UC Berkeley philosophy professor’s Oxford U. Press book “On What Matters” which states the opposite arguments for a logical positivist approach to theology and ethics which I don’t believe.
See http:\/\/www.bit.ly\/LIGHTANDDARKNESS for a posting of this review at our amateur theological website. \u00a0For an opposite theological view, but, a conservative Protestant one, you might want to read Dennis P. Hollinger’s book “Head, Heart and Hands:Bringing Together Christian Thought, Passion and Action” which tries to argue that all this complicated “head” theology is not needed.<\/div>\n

Contemplative prayers to go along with Menorah lighting on Hanukkak can be found in the verses of Psalm 67.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In the above image the Menorah is pictured as dwelling in Heaven and reflected down to Earth.<\/span><\/div>\n
I like to contemplate it as being reflected from Heaven already inside of Earth or God\u2019s Eternal River of Life that we are experiencing., surrounding us, enfolding itself in us, protecting us, while the full Presence of God Himself, in Heaven separated from it, overwatches it,, and the fullness \u00a0<\/span>and glory of His Only Son in it and us looking down from Heaven..<\/span><\/div>\n
During Passover and Easter \u00a0Shavuous and Pentecost we meditate on the name YHWH YHWH as the concept of a concept which forms in us the Seven Great Jewish Kabalistic Tree of Life \u00a0concepts of 1)Chesed (Loving Kindness), 2)Gevurah (strength), 3)Tiferet (Beauty) 4) Netzach (the key to patient victory in Jesus Christ), 5) Hod (obedience to Christ), 6)Yesod (righteousness in Christ Jesus), 7) Malkuth (Kingship). Thus for 49 days we count the Omer and think about Chesed of Chesed, Chesed of Gevurah, Chesed of Tiferet and so forth. You might well ask, “Where are the important Kabbalistic great ideas of “Chokhmah” , wisdom, and “Binah”, spiritual understanding during these 49 days? They are Tree of Life gifts from God as intuitive knowledge, and not meditative contemplative knowledge, \u00a0from your indwelling Holy Spirit from Him to You during these days.”If you can’t find him inside of the intuitively given human heart indwelling in you during this time, you can’t find Him anywhere.” But, just keep on going like you are going, doing this every year and He will place “an open door, that can’t be shut” inside of your heart like already promised to us and make you an important part of His “Tree of Life” that \u00a0bears good fruit, these gifts, eternally in all of us. He will give you a “clean white robe”, and a “precious stone”, or perhaps all twelve, of one of the tribes of Israel like which Saint Joshua walked over to get to the other side of the River Jordan inside of your soul and the soul of the World around you and us. For a clearer theological organization of this total meditative scheme you might want to study and meditate using the divine order of thoughts explained in \u00a0http:\/bit.ly\/SavedbyHolySpiritandJesus.\n

On the bus ride to Masada, the celebrated mountain stronghold sitting atop an isolated mesa at the edge of the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea, where vastly outnumbered Jews held out against a three year Roman seige, survivors committing suicide en masse… from Qumran, adjacent to which the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered between 1947 and 1956, Ron asked the question: \u201cWhat is the Army of God, God\u2019s favorites?\u201d

Haas Promenade observation terrace view of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount from a street parking lot overlook. Jerusalem is sometimes called the “city of gold”, sacred to the world’s three great religions it sits in the Judean mountains between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern tip of the Dead sea. \u00a0The view is from the east looking west, toward the \u00a0old city wall and the Via Dolorossa and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Jaffa Gate. To the left is the Jerusalem Peace Forest, Mt. of Remembrance, and Vad Vashem. Mount Moriah is to the right of the golden dome on the temple mount, that would make Mount Zion at the upper left corner of the photo I believe. Someone who was there around 1800BC when Abraham first arrived in the area might want to correct me.\n

This area from which the picture was took looks toward Mount Morah, Genesis 22:4-5, where Abraham first saw Jerusalem and from where tradition says that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his Son Isaac. It is in this chapter of Genesis in this place where God’s Name Most sacred four-letter name YHWH appears in the Old Testament used as YHWH Yireh or God will provide, or God will provide by seeing, or God will provide by guiding us toward this providence.<\/p>\n

Children drawing water from “Mary’s Spring” in Jerusalem.<\/h2>\n
You can also climb up into it. \u00a0Ron told us a story about how he did this as a kid while he lived in the city of Jerusalem which is very close by from here.\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was, and also still is I hope, a “Mary’s Spring” in Nazareth which was worshipped by Christian pilgrims in the Middle Ages. But, Christian Jews, because of this place’s association with movements of the “Ark” and also John the Baptist’s birthplace, should consider the one in Jerusalem of very special significance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Also on this west side, not visible is the village of Ein Karem (the “spring of the vineyard” the childhood home of John the Baptist, who is another main forerunner of Christ, and which has a nice restaurant and water well, Mary’s spring*. According to Jewish Christian tradition, before Israel in the wilderness broke camp to conduct movement [the same Blessed Spiritual movements of our souls forward in the world which now occurs on Pentecost\/Shavuous just as it did after Jesus was crucified and resurrected) supernatural healing waters surrounded and separated different parts of the encampment into a Divine, Holy Spirit order for movement]. Five churches the visitation church for the annunciation of John, Russian and Greek Orthodox monasteries, and a Catholic monastery of Notre Dame. We visited this site earlier in the previous day for a light lunch. Even today, the Holy Spirit directs Christians Jews forward as a Shepherd, Jesus Christ indwelling us being the first fruits of this Divine Comforter, Director forward of our soul’s movements in Eternal Time.<\/h2>\n
*The origin of the place now called Mary’s spring near Jerusalem or Mary’s well, or Mirian’s well, goes back to the Bemidmar[in the desert] Torah portion Numbers 1-4 where it is explained that when the Israelites camped in the desert with all there tents aligned toward the Ark of the Covenant, there was a “water giving rock” where the 12 leaders of the tribes would sing praises to the LORD, YHWH, and the rock would gush forth four streams of water. One stream surrounded the Mishkan or “dwelling place of God”, another surrounded the camp of the Levites, and another surrounded all the Israelites. The fourth stream marked out all the boundaries for each of the 12 tribes of Israel. “The Apostle Paul correlated the life-giving Rock that provided supernatural water for the Israelites (1 For. 10:4) with the Maschiach Yeshua.” cf. A year through the Torah by John J. Parsons\n

Reception area in the lobby of the King David Hotel…best place to stay in Jerusalem. There normal rates for a single room are like $800 a night but somehow, doing the math working backward from total charge for the trip, because we were in a group which would have frequent return trips from CalBerkeley and AHI travel we must have bargained it down to about $250<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Garden and Pool area in the Courtyard of the King David Hotel, of the Dan Hotel chain in Israel, across the Valley from the Jaffa Gate where if you walk across to it and enter, you will encounter many Muslim shops and vendor stalls in the narrow walk way to the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.<\/h3>\n

Between that and the western wall is the King David Hotel near the Jaffa Gate where we stayed. \u00a0The Garden of Gethsemane and Mount of Olives are near and off to the right,<\/p>\n

Now, back to how to invoke God’s Name as a Holy Spirit comforting and guiding us forward on\u00a0<\/b>
Pentecost\/Shavuous.<\/b><\/p>\n

This area from which the picture above overlooking Jerusalem looks toward \u00a0Mount Morah, Genesis 22:4-5, where Abraham first saw Jerusalem and from where tradition says that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his Son Isaac. It is in this chapter of Genesis in this place where God’s Name Most sacred four-letter name YHWH appears in the Old Testament used as YHWH Yireh or God will provide, or God will provide by seeing, or God will provide by guiding us toward this providence.<\/p>\n

In invoking God’s Name in this way there is a Biblical sequence of prayer contemplation and meditation: \u00a01) \u00a0YHWH Shammah or the Lord \u00a0is Present as a Presence or \u00a0I AM God, \u00a02) YHWH Yireh, the Lord is our Providence of Faith, and sustenance , initiating it in us, 3) YHWH Naseh the Lord is our upholder, our supporter the One who catches us when we fall, 4) YHWH Rohi The Lord is our guide or shepherd, 5) YHWH Nissi, the Lord is high and lifted up as our banner who lifts the road up to follow in front of us and keeps us pointed in that direction, 6) YHWH Mekadishem \u00a0The Lord is our Sanctifier, 7) YHWH Tzedkanu \u00a0the Lord is our righteousness, All these seven uses of the Lord’s Name in the Old testament have their Biblical chapters and verses, and can even be meditated on as prayer centers in the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you, \u00a0see elsewhere in the Bible and in our Jewish Christian prayer site posting and discussion areas for more on this.<\/p>\n

Why in the Lord’s prayer do we say first “Lord may thy Kingdom come, and then Lord may thy will be done.”<\/b>
We say this first because if we want to know God through our own prayer words, through the knowledge, coming down from Him or Her indwelling in our topmost Chakra, the thousand lotus pedal Sahasraha spiritual center to which our souls ascend to heaven above us when we die and come back down again in themselves inside of us, still indwelling as spiritual knowledge of God as part of the Eternal soul’s going through karma in the bardello, if we have any, Jesus didn’t, and back down toward the divine lotus feet of what has already happened to us, now in this life and also in our past lives, in order to be known as divine truth indwelling as a glorification up there in heaven and down here on earth in our souls eternally we first need to have the Divine Name YHWH instantiated well and known well in us first, then later the knowledge happens as the spiritual instantiates itself for the second and third time in a divine truth or logical syllogism which has three comings, three happenings and then more, 1,2,3, infinity in me and also you.<\/b><\/p>\n

Here, for instance, is an arrangement of some of them, inset in verses from the Book of Micah, in the important Tashlich, washing away, prayers said a couple of days before the Jewish High Holy Days prayers each New Year:<\/p>\n

In distress I called(YAH) upon YAH,
with abounding relief (YHWH Nasi…Levicticus) YAH answered me,
YHWH is with me (Emmanuel of the Book of Isaiah)
I do not fear (YHWH Rohi Psalm 23)
What can man do to me? (YHWH Eloheynu Psalm 99:8)
YHWH is for me (YHWH Rapheka Exodus 15:20)
So I shall see the downfall of my enemies (YHWH Mekeddeshem\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Exodus 1:13)
It is better to take refuge in YHWH (YHWH Sabaoth Samuel 1:1) than to rely one man
It is better to take refuge in YHWH than to rely on princes (YHWH Adonai).
Yah, O God, who is like you (beyond wisdom, enthroned in wisdom inside of all of us)?
Who pardons iniquity (YHWH Elohim full of grace, immanence, and understanding)
and overlooks transgression (El…The Lord most high, raised up, and full of mercy)
for the remnant of his heritage (Strong and upholding justice)?
Who has not retained His wrath eternally. ( YHWH Sabaoth….Patient)
For he desires kindness (YHWH Elohim.. Obedient)!
He will again be merciful to us (YHWH YHWH… the beauty and glory \u00a0of what is beautiful and glorifiable…when God is One, His Truth is One, when God is Two His Truth is Two, when God is Three His Truth is You)_,
He will suppress our iniquities (El Shaddai The Holy One of Israel, Blessed be He).
And, cast into the depths of sea all our sins (YHWH Adonai… The Lord God Himself, Yourself as an indwelling Holy Spirit);
Grant Truth to Jacob (YHWH Rohi… The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He leads me, peacefully, in the paths of righteousness for His Name’s Sake. Psalm 23),
kindness to Abraham (YHWH Nissi, The Lord is my banner, the shield and blessing of Abraham which protects us from harm. \u00a0Exodus 17:15)
As you swore to our fathers (YHWH Yireh… The Lord shall be the One who sees the Christ in us
and provides for us Genesis 22:8-14)
YHWH Shammah (The Lord is present in His temple among us \u00a0Ezekiel 48:35).<\/h3>\n

Just around the corner in the Garden of Gethsemee from this area is where Jesus prayed before he was condemned and crucified. You might wonder whether Jesus also thought at this point whether God was only testing Him here as He did Abraham requiring Him only to sacrifice His Son, only to be told at the last minute that it wouldn’t be required. \u00a0But, we know that Jesus had already understood all of this, that the sacrifice would be his life as well as his Son when he confronted Satan in the wilderness trying to convince that total obedience to God in this wouldn’t be necessary.<\/p>\n

You can \u00a0see parts of the old city of David, and the Jewish Quarter, some of the gates of the Eastern Wall, the Dung Gate with the Hurva Signagogue on its left, where you enter to go up to the Dome of the Rock, and a corner of the Western Wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On a clear day you can see forever. When we pray contemplatively for this we declare YHWH Shammah YHWH Yireh, God is present, God sees for us. A lot of what we see contemplatively is through dreams. Or in what the Buddhists call a semi-ambulatory enhanced light state that prophets that ancient and current day prophets spend a lot of time in while they are praying contemplatively.<\/h3>\n

The Church of the Holy Sepuchere is now considered to the buriel place of Christ. Built around 300AD by Constantine, he excavacted the top and sides from where is was originally and much more overhanging\u00a0 <\/span>large rock cave. If this is infact the site, Both Jesus\u2019 and Joseph\u2019s crypt were part of a larger complex of burial caves covered by this overhanging rock before is was excavated by Constantine.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In the 19the century some Protestant Academics believed, because of the verses in John 12, saying the place where Christ was entered was near a large garden, which this area is not that this was not the correct site and also they argued that at the time of Christ it was forbidden to have burials inside of the city walls, which this area is. A hilly area with an outcropping of rock which looks somewhat like a skull can be found acroos town But, this area has of tombs now been dated as to have been used at least 800 years before Jesus\u2019 time.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

There is a fascinating discussion of the Church on the National Geographic Explore Channel program Secrets of Christ\u2019s tomb on the 1016-17 excavation and restorations which were conducted t the Church of the Holy Sepuchlar.. In the center of the rotunda of the main floor of the church is a structure called the aedicule which contains the tomb under a vault which had not been opened for restoration for thousands of years until then It contains a Crusader cross carved about 1100 AD, but the main rock has been dated back to 300 AD confirming that it was probably built by Constantine. \u00a0<\/span>On the second level of the Church is said to be the site of Golgotha itself where the cross stood. It is hard not to be suspicious that these two sites are inside the same Church, that the cross is is so close to the tomb. But, its possible.<\/h3>\n

The building and the aedicule has been damaged by fires during the Muslim conquest which occurred befoee the Crusaders were in charge. But, now it has been restuored and shored up structurally so that it is safe to go it. There was also a brief mention of the new discovery of a possible tunnel escape route, hewn out of the solid rock 30 feet\u00a0 <\/span>below the crypts and caves and with a staff straight up leading out.\u00a0 <\/span>Was this tunnel part of Constnatine construction in the Church or did it exist earlier in the time of Christ\u00a0 <\/span>Ron didn\u2019t get into any of this, I wonder if he is aware of it. When we arrived it was 1155 on Palm Sunday and the procession of the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem was just departing after\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0Mass. Ron took us into the Syrian chapel where Joseph of Arimathea\u2019s crypt is and where the mass was conducted and we lit candles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
I have added here some thoughts above taken from Wikepedia article on the Church of the Holy Sepulchar.\u00a0 Also I have attached some words\u00a0<\/span>our long time prayer friend of the 1980s,1990, 2000 and beyond Pope John Paul II, including some of his thoughts upon visiting this Holy Place.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>He conducted this Mass at the Catholic shrine on the other side of the Church where some teach Jesus\u2019 body was placed in a Casket to bury it.\u00a0 <\/span>But, I believe his bones and flesh and spirit were just left to dissolve into a a non-existent, non-entombed purgatory, since there was no Karma left in his spirit and soul at this time, as there usually is in most of his followers who participate in his death through following this pilgrimage procedure.<\/div>\n

\u201cI believe in Jesus Christ . . . conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. . . On the third day he rose again<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
1. Following the path of salvation history, as narrated in the Apostles\u2019 Creed, my Jubilee Pilgrimage has brought me to the Holy Land. From Nazareth, where Jesus was conceived of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit, I have reached Jerusalem, where he \u201csuffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried\u201d. Here, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, I kneel before the place of his burial: \u201cBehold, the place where they laid him\u201d (Mk<\/i>\u00a016:6).<\/span><\/div>\n
The tomb is empty. It is a silent witness to the central event of human history: the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. For almost two thousand years the empty tomb has borne witness to the victory of Life over death. With the Apostles and Evangelists, with the Church of every time and place, we too bear witness and proclaim: \u201cChrist is risen! Raised from the dead he will never die again; death no longer has power over him\u201d (cf.\u00a0Rom<\/i>\u00a06:9).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cMors et vita duello conflixere mirando; dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus<\/span><\/i>\u201d (Latin Easter Sequence\u00a0Victimae Paschali<\/i>). The Lord of Life was dead; now he reigns, victorious over death, the source of everlasting life for all who believe.<\/span><\/div>\n
2. In this, \u201cthe Mother of all Churches\u201d (St. John Damascene), I extend warm greetings to His Beatitude Patriarch Michel Sabbah, the Ordinaries of the other Catholic Communities, Father Giovanni Battistelli and the Franciscan Friars of the Custody of the Holy Land, as well as the clergy, religious and lay faithful.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
With fraternal esteem and affection I greet Patriarch Diodoros of the Greek Orthodox Church and Patriarch Torkom of the Armenian Orthodox Church, the representatives of the Coptic, Syrian and Ethiopian Churches, as well as of the Anglican and Lutheran Communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Here, where our Lord Jesus Christ died in order to gather into one the children of God who were scattered (Jn<\/i>\u00a011:52), may the Father of mercies strengthen our desire for unity and peace among all who have received the gift of new life through the saving waters of Baptism.<\/span><\/div>\n
3. \u201cDestroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up\u201d (Jn<\/i>\u00a02:19).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Evangelist John tells us that, after Jesus rose from the dead, the disciples remembered these words, and they believed (cf.\u00a0Jn<\/i>\u00a02:22). Jesus had spoken these words that they might be a sign for his disciples. When he and the disciples visited the Temple, he expelled the money-changers and vendors from the holy place (cf.\u00a0Jn<\/i>\u00a02:15). When those present protested, saying: \u201cWhat sign have you to show us for doing this?\u201d, Jesus replied: \u201cDestroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up\u201d. The Evangelist observes that he \u201cwas speaking of the temple of his body\u201d (Jn<\/i>\u00a02:18-21).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The prophecy contained in Jesus\u2019 words was fulfilled at Easter, when \u201con the third day he rose from the dead\u201d. The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the sign that the Eternal Father is faithful to his promise and brings new life out of death: \u201cthe resurrection of the body and life everlasting\u201d. The mystery is clearly reflected in this ancient Church of the\u00a0An\u00e1stasis<\/i>, which contains both the empty tomb \u2013 the sign of the Resurrection, and Golgotha \u2013 the place of the Crucifixion. The good news of the Resurrection can never be separated from the mystery of the Cross. Saint Paul tells us this in today\u2019s Second Reading: \u201cWe preach Christ crucified\u201d (1 Cor<\/i>\u00a01:23). Christ, who offered himself as an evening sacrifice on the altar of the Cross (cf.\u00a0Ps<\/i>\u00a0141:2), has now been revealed as \u201cthe power of God and the wisdom of God\u201d (1 Cor<\/i>\u00a01:24). And in his Resurrection, the sons and daughters of Adam have been made sharers in the divine life which was his from all eternity, with the Father, in the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/div>\n
4.\u00a0<\/i>\u201cI am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage\u201d (Ex<\/i>\u00a020:2).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Today\u2019s Lenten Liturgy sets before us the Covenant which God made with his people on Mount Sinai, when he gave the Ten Commandments of the Law to Moses. Sinai represents the second stage of that great pilgrimage of faith which began when God said to Abraham: \u201cGo from your country and your kindred and your father\u2019s house to the land that I will show you\u201d (Gen<\/i>\u00a012:1).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Law and the Covenant are the seal of the promise made to Abraham. Through the Decalogue and the moral law inscribed on the human heart (cf.\u00a0Rom<\/i>\u00a02:15), God radically challenges the freedom of every man and woman. To respond to God\u2019s voice resounding in the depths of our conscience and to choose good is the most sublime use of human freedom. It is, in a real sense, to make the choice between life and death (cf.\u00a0Dt<\/i>\u00a030:15). By walking the path of the Covenant with the All-Holy God the people became bearers and witnesses of the promise, the promise of genuine liberation and fullness of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Resurrection of Jesus is the definitive seal of all God\u2019s promises, the birth-place of a new, risen humanity, the pledge of a history marked by the Messianic gifts of peace and spiritual joy. At the dawn of a new millennium, Christians can and ought to look to the future with steadfast trust in the glorious power of the Risen One to make all things new (cf.\u00a0Rev<\/i>\u00a021:5). He is the One who frees all creation from its bondage to futility (cf.\u00a0Rom<\/i>\u00a08:20). By his Resurrection he opens the way to the great Sabbath rest, the Eighth Day, when mankind\u2019s pilgrimage will come to its end and God will be all in all (1 Cor<\/i>\u00a015:28).<\/span><\/div>\n
Here at the Holy Sepulchre and Golgotha, as we renew our profession of faith in the Risen Lord, can we doubt that in the power of the Spirit of Life we will be given the strength to overcome our divisions and to work together to build a future of reconciliation, unity and peace? Here, as in no other place on earth, we hear the Lord say once again to his disciples: \u201cDo not fear; I have overcome the world!\u201d (cf.\u00a0Jn<\/i>\u00a016:33).<\/span><\/div>\n
5. \u201cMors et vita duello conflixere mirando; dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Radiant with the glory of the Spirit, the Risen Lord is the Head of the Church, his Mystical Body. He sustains her in her mission of proclaiming the Gospel of salvation to the men and women of every generation, until he returns in glory!<\/span><\/div>\n
From this place, where the Resurrection was first made known to the women and then to the Apostles, I urge all the Church\u2019s members to renew their obedience to the Lord\u2019s command to take the Gospel to all the ends of the earth. At the dawn of a new Millennium, there is a great need to proclaim from the rooftops the Good News that \u201cGod so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life\u201d (Jn<\/i>\u00a03:16). \u201cLord, you have the words of eternal life\u201d (Jn<\/i>\u00a06:68). Today, as the unworthy Successor of Peter, I wish to repeat these words as we celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice in this, the most hallowed place on earth. With all of redeemed humanity, I make my own the words which Peter the Fisherman spoke to the Christ, the Son of the living God: \u201cLord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Christ\u00f3s an\u00e9sti<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Jesus Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Amen.<\/span><\/div>\n

Figure 11Mosaic inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchar which encompasses inside itself the ground on which Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross and the tomb of Joseph of Arimethea where he was buried and resurrected. That is if you don’t believe General Gordon who instituted a Garden Tomb across the city, It does seem a little suspicious that they would have crucified him so close to the tomb where he was resurrected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Figure 12 Picture taken from inside the crypt of Joseph of Arithemeia itself where our Lord and Savior was entombed nearby and rose again after dying in order to save us all. I lite a candle in the antechamber next to the tomb and said the prayer:<\/span><\/h3>\n
Jews of Jesus’ time and before were buried in tombs like this and the Saints among them were prayed for during Pentecost to Shavuous to resurrect their souls from the “dew” the “Tai” in the clefts of the rocks in the tombs. This is also in remembrance of the same customs in the wilderness of praying toward the miskan or Holy temple and to stick the rock in it with prayers as the Holy Spirit of the group of Israelites came from the holy tent in the middle of the encampment in the desert as it does still now from Miriam’s well in Jerusalem.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In\u00a0the Jewish Prayer Service during one-half of the year, and especially from Easter or Passover to Pentecost and Shavuous we pray during the holy day\u00a0ceremonies special Hebrew prayers for this mentioning the “Tai” or the precious “dew” that keep us Jews alive and sustained us with substantial faith and hope as we wandered in the Desert. And, we prayed also for “rain” for a light rain that brought “Showers of blessings from God” along with it.<\/span>

<\/span>Some of the skins used to make the tent which held the Holy Presence and the Ark of the Covenant were made of Dolphin skins. This was to remind us of the happy days at sea sporting with these creatures. And, even today as I write this (May 20,2018) and pray the Akdamus Shavuous prayer there is a story on national TV about the happy births of several families of dophins in a bay on the USA Gulf Coast and pictures of fisherman enjoying and watching them jump out of the water, sing their happy songs of chirping as they sport with those other human souls watching them. Perhaps they are sharing with us in the joy of answered prayer of Carol Wojtyla an I from back in August of 1997 when Princess Diana died so tragically in a car wreck. Prayers for healing and recovery of blessings and well-being of the British Royal families’ line of succession through Queen Elizabeth who prayed with my mother and step-father \u00a0often.<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBlessed be Him who is blessed. In the Name of the Father, YHWH Christ, the Son YHWH Christ, and the Holy Spirit.YHWH Christ\u201d In order to try and help both His soul and ours Eternally. \u201cDying He destroyed our dying, rising, He brings New Life again.\u201d<\/span><\/b>
