"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.  And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.  All who burden themselves with it shall be cut to pieces, though all the people of the Earth be gathered against it." .. Zechariah 12:2-3 - NKJV I couldn't let this pass without addressing it .. the fabulous UN strikes out in complete stupidity & blindness once again! ... What triggered my angst was this headline from Fox News just two days ago ... --- "You Can't Make It Up - UN names Democratic Israel as World's Top Human Rights Violator" The article goes on to say ... "According to the United nations, the most evil country in the world today is Israel. .. On March 24, 2016, the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) wrapped up its annual meeting in New York by condemning only one country for violating women's rights anywhere on the planet - Israel, for violating the rights of Palestinian women. .. "On the same day, the UN Human Rights Council concluded its month-long session in Geneva by condemning Israel five times more than any other of the 192 UN member states.  .. There were five Council resolutions on Israel. .. One each on the likes of hellish countries like Syria, North Korea & Iran. .. Libya got an offer of 'technical assistance.' .. And countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia & China were among the 95% of states that were never mentioned." In reviewing the article close up, these claims were also 'shared' by other anti-Israel factions - stuff like ... *Palestinian representatives claiming, "Israeli soldiers & settlers kill Palestinian children.  They shoot them dead.  They leave them to bleed to death." .. *Another Palestinian rep said this .. "Israel is directing its military machinery against women and girls.  They are killing them, injuring them, and leaving them bleeding to death." .. Also in Geneva, the UN permitted the handouts that claimed Israel 'saw ethnic cleansing as a necessary precondition for its existence.' .. A film accused Israel of sexual violence against children and 'trying to exterminate  an entire Palestinian generation.' ... Picture this if you will ... In Geneva's UN Human Rights council chamber, some 750 people assembled, pounced on the Jewish state, broadcast the entire spectacle online, & produced 100s of articles & interviews in dozens of languages championing the results! But here are the REAL facts ... Israelis are being hacked & stabbed to death on the streets, stabbed on buses, slaughtered in Synagogues, mowed down with automobiles, & shot right in front of their children! And this accusation that israel is the ONLY women's rights violator is absolutely the most ludicrous thing I've witnessed of late. .. I mean just glance these few realities for a moment .. Palestinian women are murdered & subjugated for the sake of male honor - Saudi women can't even drive - Iranian women are stoned to death for so-called adultery - Egyptian women have their genitals mutilated - Sudanese women give birth in prison with their legs shackled just for being Christian ... I mean the list goes on & on ... But again, according to the illustrious UN, Israel is the ONLY violator of women's rights .... Simply amazing that most of the world is falling for this garbage ... but then, it WAS prophesied .... FYI .. Just recently, the UN Watch, a non-parisan 'watchdog' of sorts, released a report detailing the progress of the new & improved UN Human Rights Council. .. It was created to replace the U.S. Human Rights Commission after its credibility sank to zero. .. Although that commission was bad, the UN Watch says this new council is much worse. .. The new Human Rights Council has among its permanent members some of the world's most prolific human rights violators - Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Russia, Pakistan, Jordan, Tunisia, Bangladesh & Bahrain. .. The U.S. & Israel don't even have seats. ... For those of us who follow these kinds of events, they are not the least bit surprising because this is exactly what Bible prophecy said would be the case just before the return of Jesus Christ. .. Simply, the signs that relate to israel are perhaps the most important of all because the Jews ARE God's prophetic time clock. .. What I mean by this is that the scriptures will often tie a prophesied future event with something that will happen with the Jews. .. In fact, we are told to watch the Jews, and when the prophesied event concerning them occurs, we can be certain that all the other prophesied events will also occur. .. An example can be found in Luke 21:24 where Jesus prophesied that the Jews would be dispersed from Jerusalem & be led captive among the nations. .. But then He added that one day they would return to re-occupy Jerusalem, and when this happens, the remaining end-time events will occur that will lead to His return. .. There are many prophecies concerning the Jews in the end times, many of which began to be fulfilled in the 20th Century, but there are four key ones: ... *The Worldwide Regathering (Isaiah 11:11-12) - In 1900, there were only some 40,000 Jews in Palestine .. At the end of WW 2, the number had risen to 800,000. .. Today, there are more than 6 million & the number is rising dramatically by the day! .. In fact, there are calls from all across the globe for the Jews to return to Israel because of the dramatic rise in anti-Semitism. ... *The re-establishment of their state, which did occur on May 14th, 1948 ... (Isaiah 66:7-8) ... *Re-occupation of Jerusalem, which occurred on June 7th, 1967 ... (Zechariah 8:4-8) ... *The fourth is the one we are witnessing as we speak - the re-focusing of world politics upon the Nation of Israel. .. (Zechariah 12:2-3) .. All the nations of the world, which now even includes the United States, are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation's capital - the City of Jerusalem. .. Some examples are:  The Vatican wants the city  under its control - The United Nations wants it to be internationalized - The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs & the Jews - The Arabs want it all! ... The Prophet Ezekiel said it very clearly as to how it will all play out .. "But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.  I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown, and I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel.  The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt." .. Ezekiel 36:8-10 .. As a 'watchman' of God's prophetic Word, it is simply amazing to watch how all these events concerning Israel are coming to pass, just as scripture said it would! .. Israel IS God's prophetic time clock, and believe me when I say, the hands are approaching midnight as we speak! .. The UN Councils of any & all kinds can rail all they want .. the Arabs & worldwide anti-Semites can threaten till theirs throats are parched, but none of it will change the fact that God's chosen, the people of Israel, will be restored to their land and will remain there always. .. Hallelujah! .. Please remember to pray for the people of Israel as they are completely surrounded & threatened with each passing day. ... God asks us to do this , so that is what we shall do ... Until next time, Red
