YOU CAN'T GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE... SATAN HAS NOTHING TO OFFER WITHOUT GOD'S CONSENT(JOB 1:9-12) [PART 2] 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 DINING WITH THE DEVIL...NO SPOON IS LONG ENOUGH!(LK.16:24-26) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 Today there's more than enough for the the CHURCH to WORRY about,if you are a hardcore believer of God and His [Udiluted] Word. Only the Good Lord knows why HE has been taking me down this road in the past weeks. Perhaps,as one, on the other side of the aisle tagged*POVERTY MENTALITY GROUP*,it should be easier than the other side, the side of *ACCLAIMED WORSHIPPERS OF A RICH GOD*,to spill it out,as DIRECTED! I am equally not oblivious of the scorn that awaits me. You see, there's a popular maxim that says,*Use a Long Spoon when Dining with the Devil* The truth is that,no spoon is long enough(if you like,use a laddle or paddle), the devil has the uncanny ability of grabbing your hands,if he wants to. And you know the implications. Dining with the devil makes you fall into the hands of the Living God,and it's terrifying. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb 10: 31) It's established that we are aware in the course of our studies ,about JEHOVAH'S JEALOUSY OVER THE SHARING OF HIS GLORY,AND MANY OF US RECEIVING OUR REWARDS ON EARTH ALREADY! Today isn't different,as our FATHER explained that many notable*warriors* in *HIS ARMY* have long let down their *guard,* when they tasted from Lucifer's dish. First of all,we had God warning us; Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1Co 10: 31) 6. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; (Deu 8: 6-7) 10. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13. And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14. Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; (Deu 8: 10-14) 👇👇👇👇👇 If we want to be truthful to ourselves,it should be common knowledge that the *beats and tunes*change when the less privileged walks into affluence...(pastor or member,believer or unbeliever...VERY FEW HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO AVOID THE PITFALLS THAT COME WITH RICHES. And they are daily becoming fewer. I have even personally interrogated myself,if I could still faithfully maintain this MANDATE,if I happened to cross into that league...frankly,the answer is still not forthcoming. However, what most of us (especially pastors) either deliberately or ignorantly refused to accept is the fact not everyone of is compulsorily expected to cross into the league of earthly prosperity. And many of us God allowed to cross into our *today's promised land,* have eaten our full and built goodly houses* and forgotten the reason for the upliftment. In the story of Lazarus,nowhere did Christ Jesus tagged the rich man an unbeliever or believer...just as we read it* a rich man*! But the unexpected upliftment got our heads swollen,that most of us thought it was our personal effort , setting up ourselves to fall into the snares laid by our enemy. 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (Luk 16: 23-25) What is prominent in that story,is the *GENERAL ATTITUDE OF THE AFFLUENT*! Many highly RESPECTED CLERICS have UNCONSCIOUSLY or SUBCONSCIOUSLY RELEGATED GOD'S INPUT to the BACKGROUND. They saw themselves deservedly selected for favour, while the seemingly unfavoured are counted as sinners or those displeasing to God. IN SIMPLER TERMS, MEN GET CARRIED AWAY,AFTER YIELDING TO THE TRAPPINGS OF THE WORLD...GOD WARNED US THAT SATAN IS CRAFTY AND SUBTLE; Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.... (Gen 3: 1) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat 10: 16) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Rev 12: 9) AND BECAUSE THOSE THAT GOD PICKED UP FOR THESE SPECIAL ROLES BECAUSE OF THE DAYS AHEAD , WHEN GOD WILL USE THEM TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE, FORGOT THE MANDATE : 1. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (Mic 4: 1-2) 10. Bring ye all the tithes into the STOREHOUSE, that there may be MEAT in MINE HOUSE, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11. And I will REBUKE the devourer[THE ENEMY] for your sakes, and he shall not DESTROY the FRUITS of YOUR GROUND; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3: 10-11) AND INSTEAD MADE THEMSELVES DEMIGODS OVER THOSE THEY FELT WERE SUFFERING, FROLICKING AND FRATERNIZING WITH THOSE IN THE CORRIDORS OF WORLDLY POWER, THEY DEVIATED FROM GOD'S WORD AND APPROVAL AND ARE RESERVED FOR GOD'S WRATH AND JUDGEMENT (NO MATTER THE LONG AND TONGUE TWISTING TITLES THEY BARE) THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON GOD AND SETTING A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. Thus, those of us who felt impatient and felt slighted by both God and man,that upon all our faithfulness, it seems we have been abandoned,and inspite of these several warnings,we still fall prey to the devil's antics of distraction AND CHOSE TO DINE WITH THE DEVIL AT WHATEVER COST... meanwhile this was the ultimate aim of our common enemy, and gladly obliged them, oftentimes hiding the consequences from them, and leaving them to discover and learn the hard way. 13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2Co 11: 13-15) Christ Jesus was no one's fool when HE warned, it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make God's Kingdom (pastor or member,believer or unbeliever)! *THOSE WHO STARTED WELL ARE ENDING POORLY, BECAUSE OF HAVING TASTED *THE WORLD*! (FIRST BECOMING LAST AND VICE VERSA). THE BLESSINGS OF GOD DOESN'T ADD SORROW...THUS, IT'S NO LONGER OF GOD, WHEN BLESSINGS ARE CAUSING YOU TO MISS THE ROAD TO YOUR MAKER AND MASTER! Let's look at a funny but serious example; Many affluent clerics can give you a MIND BLOWING FIGURE of their exploits in philanthropy. But in their churches,are many who can't afford the school fees of the Church owned(Abi G.O owned) schools...the same with the medical facilities...AND MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF NAIRA AND DOLLARS LIE dormant in their bank accounts. Many are sharing one room apartments,others entirely homeless,but their churches have ESTATES. IT ISN'T AS IF IT CAN BE DONE FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON...BUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR,CAN IT BE COMMENSURATE TO WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED? WHY BLAME POLITICIANS. Now,the fun is this,these clerics,when they were still at the bottom of the ladder, they were invoking passion and stirring emotions as they called,WHAT THEMSELVES ARE DOING NOW,*INJUSTICE*, but today, it's a little less injustice, I suppose. IN A NUTSHELL, MANY OF US CLERICS ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER BEFORE GOD... BECAUSE WHEN THE BLESSINGS OF THE MANDATE CAME, OUR VISION AS KEEPERS OF GOD'S FLOCKS WAS BLURRED, OUR VALUES AND PRINCIPLES WERE TAMPERED WITH,BY THE CRAVINGS OF THE WORLD. REMEMBER; YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR HAND IN THE FIRE, WITHOUT GETTING BURNT,OR SCARRED EVEN! We serve a Merciful GOD... there's yet time,as we breathe...but is the willingness there? LIKE I BELIEVE WE AGREED,THERE ARE OTHER DISTRACTIVE TACTICS THE COMMON ENEMY IS USING TO DIVERT OUR ATTENTIOBUT, I JUST WANT US TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT GOD IS NOT AGAINST PROSPERITY, THAT HE, INFACT PROSPER THE CHURCH FOR A PURPOSE, FOR THE LAST DAYS THAT WILL HERALD CHRIST JESUS RETURN! BUT THE CHURCH LOST IT. HOWEVER GOD'S WORD MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS, EVEN IF HE HAS TO CHANGE VESSELS AND METHODS. DO YOU (I) WANT TO BE CHANGED? Help us Oh LORD,Amen🙏🙇🙏!

The Rebuilding Begins Brownstone Institute It’s nearly five years after the hell of lockdowns and all that followed. This man-made trauma was shared by everyone but some suffered more than others. Governments and their partners did fine. It’s the rest of society that was robbed of freedom and prosperity. The pandemic response resulted in damage and despair on a scale we’ve never before experienced. It was all predicted. We fought the policies every step of the way. Brownstone Institute now asks for your support to carry this institution, its mission, and our society to the next stage. We are enormously pleased – and you feel it too – that the light seems to be dawning. It’s not just political trends, though that plays a part. It is also the lifting of illusion, the exposure of lies, and the ferreting out of foolishness. The winter of despair might indeed be turning to the spring of hope. But the damage is incalculable. The powers that did this are still in charge. The dangers are all around us, from mighty bureaucracies to captured industries to the surveillance state generally. Our work is far from over. People are still being de-banked. Some of the best scholars have been purged from academia. Excellent doctors are fighting for their rights. Top journalists have lost publishing venues and scientists have lost grant money. The march toward central bank digital currencies continues. Injury from shots is ubiquitous. Goliath is still alive and well, though scared and with less confidence than before. The challenge before us is on a scale we’ve not seen in many generations. The “epoch of incredulity” – a phrase from Charles Dickens – might be on its way out but we struggle to find that in which we believe. The once-trusted sources of the fallen: media, academia, pharma, political leaders, legacy institutions, and experts. We cannot trust Google or Facebook or any tech giants. They were all in on it. We know that now. In such times, we can only turn to truth, facts, evidence, ethics, and the core belief that drives Brownstone Institute: freedom itself. Since our founding in the darkest days, we’ve supported the dissidents, the contrary ideas, published real research, and somehow made it around the censors to gain many millions of followers the world over. To keep the flame burning, and turn it into a roaring fire of justice, please consider an investment in our work right now. It’s never been more important. We must keep the pressure on and make it clear that we will not comply: not intellectually and not physically. We’ve learned this much: we cannot count on the system to fix itself. It requires citizen involvement, contrarian voices, serious community involvement, and a large share of risk-taking. It also requires alternative means of support for those willing to speak out in hard times. It’s the only way, and notice how relieved many people in the world are that the US seems to be trying to right itself. The Covid lockdowns were global in scope. The whole world is now clamoring for justice and freedom. It might be coming, with the US leading the way. Your past donations to Brownstone have made possible what seemed impossible just a few years ago. Our research has been cited in court cases, a major book by a Supreme Court justice, and major media like the Wall Street Journal, and has been reprinted on viral alternative media sources, in addition to countless reprints in all major languages. Much of the research we pushed for years is now discussed daily in the news. Our website, Brownstone.org, stands as a mighty tool for writers the world over, having documented every crime and every bad actor. We see now the difference it makes. It’s our view too that our alternative model of institutional structure has been key. We have a tiny staff and the lowest possible operating costs. The priority is on the mission, the message, fellowships, and reach: as a result every dollar of our budget goes toward the mission. It’s a new model of nonprofit structure – realizing the vision rather than constructing a fat institution – worthy of attention in every business journal. Our society and country – really all countries – have been granted a chance to rebuild and fix what’s gone wrong. We dare not pass it up. We cannot sit back and rely on the politicians to make things better. There is no one hero in which we can vest all hope. Rebuilding freedom is the work of everyone. New voices have emerged, and they come from people who are battle-hardened and utterly committed to the task. Brownstone Institute has adopted many of the bravest voices and supported their work for years. Your support for this work makes it possible to continue it. We simply cannot walk away now with the hope that all will be well. The road to recovery is long and arduous but it can be done. It was only a few years ago that certain elites in high places began to disparage freedom, even misspelling it as “freedumb.” Your rights to live freely were said to be contrary to public health, security, and science. It was like a dystopian novel come to life, fiction made real before our very eyes. Brownstone blasted onto the scene with huge literature reviews proving that lockdowns are only damaging, that masks don’t work, that every nostrum from Plexiglas to mass testing systems has no effect, and that the shots were always based on a forlorn hope of sterilizing a respiratory virus with a zoonotic reservoir. It was all fake science, every bit of it from the very beginning. It was deployed for purposes of a power grab by the national security state. They still hold that power, and the target was and is your liberty. It needed correcting. Everything about the experience needed exposure and resetting. Brownstone Institute literature reviews rattled the establishment, no question, and we came under heavy fire from the usual suspects. So did our scholars, researchers, and working groups on pandemic planning, censorship, and financial centralization. We were called every name, and subjected to libelous smears along the way. Some people have said Brownstone is the leading source for “misinformation” on the Internet – the very center of a web – but you know what this means. It means we are independent of the media cartel and report inconvenient truths. Despite it all, here we are, not only surviving but thriving. This is entirely thanks to generous donors, without whom nothing could happen. In the meantime, we’ve published thousands of studies and 18 books including a suppressed history of medicine by the great historian Harris Coulter. His own publisher took the books out of print during the Covid years but his family stepped up and permitted the reprinting. Now they are available as guides to reform in the years to come. Brownstone is on every social media platform, with special emphasis on those that do not censor. We held around 50 public events too, and you know the spirit if you have attended. There is warmth, community, intelligence, and confidence in the future. We’ve formed new friendships in the darkest times that will carry us many years in the future. So many trends are headed the right way, with many Brownstone writers and scholars leading the way. You surely know the names by now. Some are on all your podcasts and videos and some appear on the nightly news. Others are headed now to high positions in the next administration. You know this and you know the names so there is no reason to reprint them all here. Look through a list of our Fellows, scholars, and authors and you will see. Responsible giving is always a challenge. When you look where the fortunes of Bill Gates, George Soros, and Jeff Bezos go, it is completely shocking. This is not philanthropy but malanthropy, doing bad rather than doing good. But it can be defeated. It’s remarkable to watch the trajectory and power of good ideas as pushed by Brownstone Institute, its Fellows, and partners, with a budget of a tiny fraction of the big players out there, many of whom are government-funded. Your contribution to our work – tax-deductible to the full extent allowed – permits a continued flourishing of truth. It worked in the darkest times and it can work even more now that we have begun to see the dawn. We only do this push once per year, and much of our plans for next year are determined by the extent of your generosity, without which we could do nothing. If you believe in the cause of human freedom, and its capacity to overcome even the most powerful obstacles, please join us as a donor and supporter. Your investment in Brownstone Institute is an investment in the future of civilized life itself. Will you donate with your most generous contribution now? Thank you so much for considering. They used to say during the lockdowns that “We are all in this together.” It was propaganda then, but true now: the cause of freedom is something for all of us. We truly are all in this together: getting the truth, realizing justice for the wrong done, restoring health, and fighting through the thicket of lies to secure the blessings of freedom now and in the future. This is the meaning of your investment in the work of Brownstone Institute.

People think they can pray away Bible prophecy. That's calling God a LIAR and we know God doesn't lie. Very painfully, the perpetrators of this unwholesome act,who are custodians of God's Word...pastors that are busy gathering wealth. Many know but selfishness has blocked their hearts that just before HIS return,your millions and billions will mean nothing, because there will be no food outside God's House(God's ACE CARD) against the devil to save as many souls longing to be saved; And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Isa 2: 2) 10. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3: 10-11) Everyone will run to God's House to get food. But your meal TICKET will be unconventional willingness to accept Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Not money... money will be valueless. Billionaires and millionaires will queue like everyone. No security details...all will be hustling for food. But the Satanic hardened hearts will become cannibals killing each other to eat,and men will be hiding from men. IT'S THE MEANING OF " THAT THERE MIGHT BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE" IT TAKES A PERSONAL REVELATION TO UNDERSTAND THIS. This is God's Anger against pastors,who should be investing in food production and storing,like Joseph in Egypt...only this time, salvation will be the purchase tickets. INSTEAD PASTORS ARE BUYING THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY, AND BUILDING LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL AUDITORIUMS FOR PEOPLE DYING IN HUNGER AND LACK TO FILL. We are fast approaching the times. Upon all the charitable organizations work, the farming ravaging the GLOBE can't stop. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. GOD CREATED THIS WORLD AND LATER REJECTED. INDEED, ACCORDING TO HIS TIMELINE (READ 2PT.3:10 TO END), GOD WILL BURN THIS WORLD WITH FIRE, AND THE NEW ONE HE HAS ALREADY CREATED WILL REPLACE IT. HOW CAN YOU REPAIR WHAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ITS CREATION...CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE INDEED. Let the pastors lusting after Lucifer's deception retrace their steps,now that they are still breathing,plus or minus them, GOD'S WORD MUST COME TO PASS And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Mat 24: 3) 6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8. All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Mat 24: 6-8) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (Mat 24: 10) 12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Mat 24: 12-15) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Mat 24: 21) 28. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Mat 24: 28-31) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. (Mat 24: 33) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Mat 24: 35) MANY OF US ARE ONLY THINKING IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN AD70 ,THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM. THAT'S THE FIRST PART, AND IT HAS TAKEN PLACE,AND WE ARE APPROACHING THE FINAL PHASE. AFTER THOSE LONGING TO BE SAVED HAS BEEN SAVED THROUGH "FOOD IN GOD'S HOUSE," LIKE NOAH'S ARK, THE DOOR SHALL BE SHUT FOR GRACE AND MERCY. HE WILL RETURN AND TAKE HIS PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE REJECTED WORLD, AND SATAN WILL BECOME A NIGHTMARE TO ANY OF US WHO COULDN'T MAKE IT WITH GOD'S PEOPLE. That's when Satan always copying Christ Jesus will come with his own system of remaining alive, taking the mark of the beast without which,you can't buy nor sell. The real hunger has only just begun and there's no human solution to it, outside God's House,and according to Christ Jesus Himself, it heralds His Second coming for His Own. May we not be met in AN UNFIT TO BE RAPTURED condition in Christ Jesus Name I pray for us, Amen.

PASTORS' MISREPRESENTATION OF GOD...A VERY GRAVE AND STAID CHALLENGE TO THE BODY OF CHRIST 🤷! 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 We just had a go at this a few days ago,but I HAD A COMPELLING BURDEN TO RE-EMPHASIZE IT AGAIN, because of its huge negatively damaging impact on us as believers. And that is,there are many things THAT GOD IS NOT, THAT PASTORS MAKE MEMBERS BELIEVE HE IS. Yes,people believe certain things about God because that’s what they’ve always been told...or because they want them to be true. But eventually, plodding through the mud of life, they discover the truth: That all they were promised by self serving men and women brandishing Bibles,who titled themselves pastors, weren't as they seemed. And then their faith crumble,being laid on a faulty foundation. For example; Christ Jesus,never became poor that you may be rich in worldly or mundane materials. What amount to riches in the Bible is at variance with the world's definition of riches. For instance; God is not opposed to personal monetary wealth. Many prominent Bible characters were quite well-to-do, including Abraham, Job, Joseph, and Solomon. But God is concerned that we view riches from His perspective; 7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: 8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. (Pro 30: 7-9) ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT THE WRITER OF THE WORDS ABOVE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MONEY? And even at that ,this man wasn't yet born, when Christ Jesus warned about riches; 23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Mat 19: 23-24) Many will think Christ Jesus hates the rich...no..not at all! Rather,He was referring to the self importance ,self dependency and pride that much wealth brings to an individual as orchestrated by the demon that the devil attached to money called mammon. In previous studies,we have learned about the camel and needle's eye. Wealthy men and women are often miserable. Their bank accounts may be overflowing but their souls are impoverished. Biblical wealth may be defined as the ability to experience and enjoy God’s blessings. The poor individual who knows God as Savior has indescribable wealth compared to the rich one who rejects Him. Friendship, godly wisdom, and a happy home are invaluable. “Do not overwork to be rich; . . . will you set your eyes on that which is not?” (Proverbs 23:4, 5). “Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice” (Proverbs 16:8). “Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all” (1 Chronicles 29:12). You see,the biblically wealthy individual may be rich or poor according to the world’s standards. Regardless, he or she knows that wealth is not measured by money. God is the source of all riches, and we are called to the noble task of managing God’s gracious gifts. In prayers for healing,our pastors make it look like it's a must and equally our inalienable right to be healed by God,when praying for healing. This also isn't true. God decides when,how,and who He heals, according to His purpose for us. If He is obligated to heal everybody,the purpose of death on this side of eternity would be defeated,for none will die. Rather,He decides when healing will bring glory to His Name and when Silence is His choice. In situations like that,it isn't because we are sinners or in unchristian...He is only working His purpose out. His cousin,*John the Baptist* had to send people to Him,to ascertain if he (John)made an error)! He allowed Lazarus to die. When Christ remained in the grave for three days,His disciples must have assumed they had wasted three years of their lives following a wrong Messiah. The most painful part now is that, it's worsening each day that passes by. We are at the point where the various congregations READ THEIR PASTORS, INSTEAD OF THEIR BIBLES...YES,MOST MEMBERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO OPEN THEIR BIBLES,WHEN ASKED TO,THEIR PASTOR IS ALWAYS RIGHT. A member dies,and the first thing done is to check his records if the dead is owing the church,e.g tithes and projects, made irrelevant demands on the family.. like one that asked the family to buy a hundred white plastic chairs and they THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS, RITUALS AND RITES INTRODUCED INTO THE DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONS,THAT AREN'T FROM GOD...THESE ARE JUST A FEW FOR A CASE STUDY. PLEASE, ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR BIBLE FOR TEACHINGS YOU AREN'T CONVERSANT WITH. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Act 17: 11) Amen🙏!

THE THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A WORLD WHERE SIN IS KING (MATTHEW 4:9) 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 FAMINE, SCARCITY AND ECONOMIC WOE ANOTHER WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST! (NAH.1:9,ISA.2:2) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 THOUGH THIS WILL GENERATE DIFFERENT REACTIONS, I BEG NIGERIAN PASTORS TO TAKE NOTE... IT'S SAID THAT NIGERIA HAS 8 OUT OF THE 10 RICHEST PASTORS GLOBALLY. What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. (Nah 1:9) God has NEVER made a promise too good to be true. When He utters a Word, you can count on it. Thus,when He DECLARED afflictions shall not rise up a second time,so it it,for He honours His Word above His Name(Ps.138:2) Yet afflictions upon afflictions keep on repeating in the life of believers,and meanwhile we have not bothered to ask why,only seeing it as repeated sin which is true.But it's worse than what we think. Dealing with the causes of repeated afflictions based on the choice of life we chose to live will TAKE US AWAY FROM WHAT GOD WANTS US TO KNOW, ESPECIALLY THE BODY OF CHRIST JESUS; And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. (1Co 8: 2) The afflictions Father intends us to visit is more than sin affiliated or trial afflictions as in the case of Job. THERE'S ANOTHER CASE OF AFFLICTION A PREACHER CALLED *COMMUNAL AFFLICTIONS,* ASSOCIATED WITH GOD'S FINAL PUSH TO BRING *THE WILLING TO BE SAVED UNBELIEVERS TO HIS HOUSE.* And it's the signs of Christ Jesus’ Second Coming. In other words, just before Christ Jesus returns. When the disciples asked Christ Jesus for the sign of His coming, Christ Jesus, among other things, also foretold that shortages, scarcities, hunger, and deficits of all types would upset the world at the very end of the age just before He returns . Christ Jesus had already warned about massive deception, wars, terrorism (commotions), nations rising against nations, and kingdoms clashing with other kingdoms. But He continued His discourse on end-time events by telling His disciples, “…And there shall be famines…” (Matthew 24:7). Famines are certainly not new, as there have been many notable famines in world history. But according to Christ Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:7, there will be a scarcity of food in many parts of the world toward the end of this era just before He returns. First, however, let’s look at the world hunger in our time. Besides the people who actually starve to death, millions more languish in undernourished conditions. Instead of living with vibrancy and hope for the future, their lives have halted to a standstill as they focus solely on where to obtain food for themselves and their loved ones so they can continue to subsist. Think of the famines that have purged millions of people from the planet in various parts of the world ,even in our lifetime. The images of starving children and adults have been paraded before us on television and other media to bring the stark reality of this suffering to the forefront of our minds. In many parts of the world, the lack of food and clean water — or the lack of any water at all — is an unimaginable crisis. Despite the wonderful efforts by many charitable organizations, the problems associated with hunger, malnutrition, and disease as a result of no water or dirty water has grown worse in recent years. Making matters even worse, hunger creates a vicious cycle. Malnutrition produces poor health, which results in abnormally small body sizes, low levels of energy, and a marked reduction in mental functions. These factors lead only to more poverty. Those suffering are so affected physically that they are not able to learn or to work as adults because their bodies are deprived of needed nutrients and vitamins. All of this downward progression promotes a seemingly unending cycle of even greater hunger. THIS IS WHAT THE PREACHER REFERS TO AS *COMMUNAL AFFLICTIONS* Then you may want to ask what we can do to help combat this end-times problem? THIS IS WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH (THE CHURCH OF GOD) COMES IN. If you ask me,with human knowledge,I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS GOD'S TRUMP CARD AGAINST THE DEVIL ! Right now,we are learning... it's just a tip of the iceberg. That's what we call dress rehearsal. The global afflictions ahead will make men kill themselves to eat because of hunger. As Christians, most of us understand at varying levels that it is our job to combat the forces of darkness in this world — through prayer, our walk of humility and obedience before God, the proclamation of His Word, etc. But we must also make the effort to combat these dark forces through more natural means. I’m talking about something as simple as opening our wallets and sharing our resources with those in need! But it's unfortunate that a time will come and it's getting closer daily,when(almost like the 666 issue), your money will be useless... whether billions or trillions. THIS IS WHERE THE CHURCH COMES IN...A BAILOUT SYSTEM. THE CHURCH SHOULD FOCUS ITS RESOURCES IN PLANTING AND STORING UP OF FOOD AS IN THE DAYS OF JOSEPH IN EGYPT. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU WON'T BE BUYING WITH MONEY...FOR MAMMON WILL LOSE HIS GRIP ON WILLING TO BE SAVED UNBELIEVERS. This is the meaning of Isa.2:2; And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Isa 2: 2) And Mal.3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Isa 2: 2) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. (Mal 3: 10) LIKE I SAID, IT'S SAID NIGERIA OWNS EIGHT OUT OF THE TEN RICHEST PASTORS GLOBALLY. Thus, for me it's a wake up call for them to stop building auditoriums for hungry and malnourished people, forget the list for expensive cars,heavy mansions and private jets, expensive vacations jetting round the world and expensive jewelries etc, and begin to prepare for this day,by investing heavily in agriculture and storing up food, BECAUSE FOOD WILL BE FOUND ONLY IN THE CHURCH OF GOD. Billionaires and millionaires etc,will queue up in a line just like everyone else.No security details or bouncers, everyone will be looking for food. The satanic heart hardened will be looking for each other to kill and eat,as it happened in Israel in those days during harsh famine. But there will be food enough for God's Children if the church wakes up to its responsibility. AS AT THAT TIME,THE TICKET FOR GETTING FOOD FROM THE CHURCH IS UNCONDITIONAL WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT CHRIST JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOUR. I have been battling with this message for over a month, because I was wary with being dragged into theological arguments,BUT HE ASSURED ME THAT I NEED NOT ANSWER ,IF I AM TROLLED OR BULLIED FOR IT. May the Holy Spirit gives us understanding,Amen🙇🙏!

IN THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN A GOD REJECTED WORLD (ISA.9:6) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 COMPASSION WAS CHRIST JESUS' GREATEST WEAPON FOR EVANGELISM, AND SHOULD REMAIN REMAIN OURS TODAY ALSO! [PART THREE] ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ It remains so painful that being our "brother's keeper," has been reduced to the level of familiarity, race, ethnic bigotry and the rest. THE STORY OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A REFERENCE POINT IN THIS REGARD. I believe we yet remember how we ended part two; that In Matthew 9:36, Christ Jesus wasn’t really referring to actual physical fainting; His words had a deeper meaning! He was moved with COMPASSION because these people were lost under a burdensome load of sin. Notice the sins of the world. We are surrounded by men and women who are capable of doing absolutely anything you can imagine. These depraved people need to be reached by a compassionate Christian soul-winner! NOT THE ONE WHOSE MESSAGE IS TO THREATEN THEM WITH HELL, WITHOUT FIRST SHOWING THEM THE LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS. CHRIST JESUS AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS THAT GAVE BIRTH TO HIS COMPASSION. 🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️ We discussed the first element yesterday. Christ Jesus saw a world lost in sin. 👉JESUS SAW THEIR DESTINY A. Christ Jesus knew that apart from Him, these people would be lost. No wonder He was MOVED with COMPASSION! Christ Jesus doesn’t want anyone to be lost! This brings to my remembrance the writings of Ellen G. White , In the apostasy, man alienated himself from God; earth was cut off from heaven. Across the gulf that lay between, there could be no communion. But through Christ Jesus, earth is again linked with heaven. With His own merits, Christ Jesus bridged the gulf which sin had made, so that ministering angels can hold communion with man. Christ Jesus connects fallen man in his weakness and helplessness with the Source of infinite power. But in vain are men’s dreams of progress, in vain all efforts for the uplifting of humanity, if they neglect the one Source of hope and help for the fallen race. "WITHOUT HIS GREAT COMPASSION FOR FALLEN MAN, CHRIST JESUS COULDN'T HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE GREAT FIT OF REDEMPTION" B. Christians need the same vision! But the painful reality before our very eyes,is that we lack this compassion, even in the church that's supposed to champion it. If not by personal Faith,many would have left and indeed many have left. Prosperity seeking pastors have continued to make mockery of the less privileged in the church that their sins are responsible for their lack. What a lie from the pit of hell. Controversial as it may seems,riches isn't meant for everyone. Some of the wealthy are raised by God for His Work. But a lot of them lack the empathy to intervene even in the simplest of situations, 👉C. Look around, church! There are people all around who will die without the knowledge of Christ Jesus (Ezek. 33:8). We must share with them the vision from heaven and act accordingly. These are those who are in church but don't really know not why they are there. Many are there because of promises made to them by those who took them there without telling them how to achieve those promises by keeping God's Word, because they themselves LACK THE COMPASSION THAT MOTIVATED CHRIST JESUS. 👉 JESUS SAW THEIR DESPAIR WITHOUT A SHEPHERD A. They were without a shepherd! B. The blessings of the church and of the saved—prayer, companionship, peace, joy, rest, satisfaction, etc.—are things the lost world knows almost nothing about. C. Our duty as believers is to tell people about Jesus. Our hearts ought to be broken because the world doesn’t know our Saviour! For instance, imagine that scenario when Christ Jesus after ministering to thousands who have been with Him thirsty for the truth in Jn.6;1-14 The apostles wanted Him to send them away,JUST LIKE IN OUR CHURCH PROGRAMS TODAY, WHERE OUR PRIORITY IS HOW MUCH WAS REALIZED , but Christ Jesus would have none of it... can't send away hungry... what was that... GREAT COMPASSION ..He fed them... the result; Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. (Joh 6: 14) NOW COMPARE THAT TO THE PROGRAMS THAT TODAY THAT CHURCHES ORGANIZE WITH THOUSANDS HOPING TO REAP MILLIONS, WITH INDIFFERENCE TO HOW MANY SOULS OR NOT WERE SAVED . 👉 CHRIST JESUS SENT HIS DISCIPLES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE (MATT. 9:37, 38) Jesus places three responsibilities on the shoulders of His people: A. Visualize. See the harvest! Recognize that not everyone is saved; millions are poised on the edge of everlasting destruction! We also need to see that the harvest is ready and waiting to be gathered! We will never reap until we first enter the field (Mark 16:15). B. Agonize. “Pray ye therefore” (Matt. 9:38). This is a call to be broken and burdened over the plight of the lost. There are few broken hearts over the lost in our day! We need to attack the devil on their behalf, praying for them constantly and seeking the Lord for the souls of sinners. C. Evangelize. It isn’t enough to see the need, nor is it enough to pray for the lost and be concerned for their souls. Christ Jesus desires that each of us does the work of an evangelist (Acts 1:8). Andrew portrays the role of a burdened Christian (John 1:40-42; 6:8, 9; 12:20-22); he fulfilled the call to be a fisher of men (Matt. 4:18, 19). CONCLUSION What are you doing? Are you having any success (Prov. 11:30)? God’s plan is that His people share the good news with a dying planet. Our job is the greatest the world has ever known (Ps. 126:5, 6). Perhaps we need to come before the Lord and confess to Him that we haven’t witnessed as we should have. Time is short, the laborers are few, and the harvest is plentiful and ready. Are you doing your part? THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS ARE NOT RESTING...WHY SHOULD WITH A GREATER THAN THE GREATEST OF ALL POWER (THE HOLY SPIRIT) REST? FATHER,WE ARE IN A BATTLEFIELD,FATHER DO NOT ALLOW US TO FALL... EMPOWER OH LORD UNTIL WE OVERCOME 🙏🙇👏!

IN THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN A GOD REJECTED WORLD (ISA.9:6) 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 GOD'S WORK, NOT OURS... THE MESSAGE CAN NEVER BE GREATER THAN THE MESSENGER ! (MAT.4;1-11, 1CHR.21-1 ,MAT.20:19-20) PART TWO 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I can't resist shouting it out that most of us (CUSTODIANS OF GOD'S WORD), are under the impression that, because of the WORLDLY WISE teachings we received from THEOLOGY and the earthly wisdom therein,WE NO LONGER THINK WE NEED GOD'S INPUT ON HOW WE GO ABOUT HIS WORK. And that's why the archenemy seems to be having an edge in the world today. BUT CHRIST JESUS NEVER GAVE ROOM FOR OUR OWN INPUT WHILE DOING HIS WORK. 19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20. TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU ;and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Mat 28: 19-20) I have always said and and continue to say it that WE HAVE A RIGHT TO ACCUSE GOD OF UNFAIRNESS AND INJUSTICE IF AFTER LUCIDLY MAKING IT CLEAR THAT HE HAS REJECTED THIS PRESENT WORLD AND WILL DESTROY IT BY FIRE ACCORDING TO HIS OWN TIMELINE (2PT.3:7-14), WILL YET AGAIN ENCOURAGE US TO INVEST OUR ENTIRE LIFETIME IT THE PURSUIT OF FRIVOLITIES AND MUNDANITIES AS ENCOURAGED BY THE FATHER OF LIES(JN.8:44) THE CHRIST JESUS' EXAMPLE! 🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️ THE ENTIRE LIFETIME OF CHRIST JESUS MINISTRY, while on earth was motivated by one thing, it was a FORCE PROPELLED from HIS VERY INSIDE... AND IT'S CALLED *COMPASSION.* And that's the EXACT OPPOSITE of many of us with Big Bibles and Long Golden chains of the Cross,with skull caps on our heads. We lack genuine empathy for the souls of men, EXCEPT OF COURSE THOSE WHO ARE ENSURING THE CONTINUANCE OF THEIR FRIVOLOUS AND MUNDANE LIFESTYLES. I have a lot of physical,visual and audio evidence of these encounters,but bringing these matters up will only do more harm than good. I don't want us to be distracted and digress from our main diet. The Bible is a book filled with meaning and blessing. However, some passages are very disturbing. For instance, in Psalm 142:4, the Bible says that “no man cared for my soul.” This passage should bother us. That it looks like there are literally billions of people in our world about whom no one cares for. And saying that millions live in this world with no one to pray for them or tell them about Christ Jesus ,might not entirely be true. I SAY*MAY NOT ENTIRELY BE TRUE,* because in this our age of internet and social media, I am confident that in one way or another, they have run into the Gospel but despise it. And we have significant numbers of intercessors praying for salvation for the world . BUT, THERE'S A PROBLEM...SATAN COMES OUT WITH NEW METHODS EVERYDAY TO FRUSTRATE THE GOSPEL. Peter said; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1Pe 5: 8) For instance, IN NIGERIA TODAY ,WE(PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS) ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH HOLDING PROGRAMS THAT WILL YIELD MONEY INSTEAD OF SOILS (EVERYTHING IS ABOUT PROSPERITY AND GOD KILLING OR REMOVING ANYONE OR THING THAT'S DENYING THEM THE SO-CALLED PROSPERITY) The problem here is that we're doing God's Work in our own way. We can't ever succeed. Our determination has more human elements in it than God. It's the pocket FIRST before the HEART. And the devil is taking full advantage of it to lure away many from the fold and preventing those who are to come. THE PASSION OF CHRIST JESUS! 🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️ Sadly, many Christians claim to know Christ Jesus, but do not care ENOUGH to know of HIS CONCERNS about the SOULS of the LOST. What a contrast to the Lord Christ Jesus! His passion for souls brought Him from heaven to earth and motivated His every waking activity (Luke 19:10; Mark 10:45). It was this passion for souls that propelled Him to an old rugged Cross where He gave His LIFE to save us LOST SINNERS from the deadly consequences of leaving this world in sin.(Rom. 5:8). In Matthew 9:36-38, Christ Jesus looked upon the multitudes that had gathered around Him because of His miracles. As He looked at these helpless, hopeless, hurting people, Jesus saw four elements that CAUSED HIM to be MOVED WITH COMPASSION for these LOST ONES. These same four elements ought to cause those of us who claim the Name of Christ Jesus as our guidance, to have the same heart for sinners that motivated our Saviour! CHRIST JESUS AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS THAT GAVE BIRTH TO HIS COMPASSION. 🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️ 👉 CHRIST JESUS SAW THEIR DEPARTURE FROM GOD AND THEIR DEPRAVITY IN SIN (MATT. 9:36) They were “scattered abroad” (verse 36). A. Outside the fold (no company or fellowship) B. Away from the Shepherd (no guidance or protection) C. Away from home (no comfort or rest) D. Apart from where they should have been (Eph. 2:12) HERE, PASTORS HAVE ABDICATED OUR NATURAL MANDATE OF FEEDING THE BELIEVERS THE RIGHT FOOD. INSTEAD WE GIVE THEM FOOD PASSED OVER FROM THE ENEMY, MEANT TO BOOST THEIR PERSONAL EGO, AND KEEP THEM CHAINED TO THE DEVIL; And they shall bear their punishment--the punishment of the prophet and the punishment of the inquirer shall be alike-- (Eze 14: 10) In Matthew 9:36, Christ Jesus wasn’t referring to physical fainting; His words had a deeper meaning! He was moved with COMPASSION because these people were lost under a burdensome load of sin. God willing,we will continue when we return from the short break. God bless us all with understanding that will cause the devil to flee and keep on fleeing until God's Timeline for him🙇🙏! Amen 👏!

IMonsieur Joe Nwiboko My brother,I ain't Concerned about the money the Overnight social media pastors and Prophet make from their OBT (aka,obtaining by trick)businesses... BUT MY GREAT CONCERN IS THE HAVOC THEY ARE CAUSING TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. IF ONLY THEY KNOW THAT, THE SAME WAY SOME DISGUISED OCCULTIC PASTORS TRANSFER DEMONIC SPIRITS THROUGH LAYING OF HANDS, SO ALSO EVIL SPIRITS ARE TRANSFERRED EVEN IN YOUR COSY SITTING ROOM AS YOU *TAP BLESSINGS ONLINE* FROM RELIGIOUS THESPIANS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. I appeal to all of us to pray for a discerning spirit...more especially in the times we found ourselves in. In the cause of ministry,I have encountered a situation where a female teenager got possessed through one of her best and most watched TV series (name withheld intentionally)... during the deliverance section,it was the name of the diabolical hero she was shouting...it was transferred to through just watching...not even touching. I CHALLENGE US TO WISELY CHECK THE PROFILES OF SOME OF THESE SELF APPOINTED PROPHETS AND PASTORS,YOU WOULD BE DUMBFOUNDED. WHY ARE THEY SUCCEEDING... SIMPLE... BECAUSE,WE ALL WANT THE RICHES QUICKLY AND WITHOUT SWEAT...WE WANT THE BLESSINGS, BUT WE DON'T WANT THE GIVER OF THE BLESSINGS. And so we unconsciously sell our souls to the devil...even a greater number do it . knowingly with their eyes wide open...BUT KNOW THIS, THE DEVIL NEVER FORGETS HIS POUND OF FLESH...IF HE GIVES YOU ₦50, BE REST ASSURED HE WILL COLLECT ₦50M FROM YOU. Please know what you are tapping BEFORE you do,to avoid your tapping more problems to yourselves.

IN THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN A GOD REJECTED WORLD (2Sam.7:1) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 MY BIBLICAL PERCEPTION OF PREDESTINATION( ROM. 9:27:11-29)! ================================== I am quite aware that, many(in my orbit),will be sceptical on seeing this, because they know me as very reserved, when it comes to flaunting of scriptural knowledge, myself,being a greenhorn in the quest for intellectual superiority. Moreso, when God's Word is involved. In all, for anything that distracts from the SIMPLE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF SALVATION, my interest isn't piqued. However, the debates and counter debates about PREDESTINATION has really stirred me, as I see the adversary at work again. THE VERSION OF PREDESTINATION BEING MOSTLY PUSHED FORWARD, MAKES A HORRID MESS OF THE DILIGENT STEPS TO SALVATION LAID DOWN BY THE OWNER AND GIVER OF SALVATION. ONCE SAVED , ALWAYS SAVED (OSAS) DOCTRINE HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY TIED TO PREDESTINATION. OUR HOLY BIBLE DOESN'T SUPPORT THIS. By request, we will take this step by step. But before then, I want to CONFIDENTLY declare by HIS GRACE and MERCY, that PREDESTINATION IS A BIBLICAL TRUTH... IT'S NOT WRONG, FOR OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY CAN NEVER EVER BE WRONG!!! WHAT'S WRONG IS MAN'S INTERPRETATION AND REASONING. Predestination is a combination of two words.. pre-meaning *before* and destination.. point of arrival. Thus, if I tell a person* on Thursday, go to Mr Oxford's shop and buy me coffee*! On that day, that person knows, he has to go to Oxford.. but it's also possible that the coffee may not be found at Oxford's, and destination may eventually changed. OF COURSE, THIS IS MORTAL WISDOM AT WORK, NOT GOD, WHO IS OMNISCIENT (ALL KNOWING)! I only made a point, that man can FAIL, but GOD WON'T AND CAN'T EVER FAIL (ISA. 55:11)! Okay, as God can't fail, ever, and predestination is God's Word (Rom. 9:11-29), how can we then reconcile the *freewill given to us by GOD*? And the LORD God said, Behold, the MAN is become as ONE OF US, to know GOOD and EVIL: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (Gen 3: 22) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deu 30: 19) Following predestination holistically means,we are reduced to mere robots..thus, there's no need for the Gospel,no need for evangelism, infact no need for Christ Jesus' sufferings on the Cross and earth,since judgement has been passed via predestination!!! THERE'S A LOT TO SAY,BUT WE WILL TAKE IT BIT BY BIT. Going back to apostle Paul's epistles to the Ephesians and Romans,you need to take a humane approach. Firstly,Paul is a human,(take note of that) before becoming a carrier of the fullness of the GODHEAD. Thus he has his weaknesses and strengths like everyone of us; For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. (Rom 7: 15) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (Rom 7: 19) 22. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (Rom 7: 22-24) Do we not face this similar problem? I congratulate you if you don't. But the truth is,it's peculiar to all of mankind...this is why we have GRACE! Relating this to the Romans 9, you can perceive Paul was in distress,seeing his kinsmen on the verge of ending up in hell(which by the way,many of us don't even believe in, nor its duration.) SPECIFICALLY, APOSTLE PAUL WAS PITIFUL,THAT PREDESTINATION WILL NOT SAVE PRESUMPTUOUS SINNERS FROM GOD'S PUNISHMENT. THAT'S WHY HE WAS EMPHASIZING THAT,GOD IS NEVER UNFAIR IN ANY DECISION HE MAKES,THAT HE,* ONLY* HAS THE PREROGATIVE AND CRITERIA TO ADOPT OR SET ASIDE HIS LAW. THE VETO POWER BELONGS TO ONLY HIM ALONE, HE MADE THE LAW AND CAN UNMAKE IT WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSULT WITH ANYONE! HEAR PAUL; Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. (Rom 8: 33) 11. (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20. Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? (Rom 9: 11-20) IF YOU CANNOT FEEL PAUL'S DISTRESS IN THE VERSES ABOVE,I WONDER WHERE ELSE YOU WILL FEEL IT. HE WAS RESPECTFULLY AND FAITHFULLY EXONERATING GOD, FROM WHAT SEEMS PLAIN INJUSTICE IN THE EYES OF MAN. WHAT WAS ESAU'S OFFENCE IN THE WOMB? OKAY,LOOK AT PHARAOH; And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. (Exo 8: 32) THROUGHOUT HIS ORDEAL, WHENEVER PHARAOH WANTS TO BUCKLE DOWN,WE SEE THE ABOVE VERSE, AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND WE ARE GIVEN THE REASON WHY GOD DID IT BY PAUL; For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. (Rom 9: 17) (Don't forget that in some verses therein,we read,and God hardened Pharaoh's heart) God's purpose for Pharaoh was to use him to demonstrate HIS POWER. Yet,if HE chose to,HE could also had saved him. We shall continue,but know this that though PREDESTINATION is FACTUAL,no voluntary sinner is predestined for Heaven nor Eternal life. EVEN IF,WE ARE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE PREDESTINED, I ASSURE US,GOD CAN CHANGE HIS MIND IF WE PRESUMPTUOUSLY WALK OUT OF HIS WAY, OR WALKED OUT OF HIS PRESENCE. YES,GOD IS IMMUTABLE..HE NEVER CHANGES, BUT IN SITUATION WHEN MAN VOLITIONALLY SUCCUMBS TO THE DEVIL, HE CHANGES METHODS. For instance, consider this; Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, SHOULD WALK BEFORE ME FOR EVER: but now the LORD saith, BE IT FAR FROM ME; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (1Sa 2: 30) Again; 8. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9. Therefore HAVE I ALSO MADE YOU CONTEMPTIBLE AND BASE BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. (Mal 2: 8-9) Certainly, God had a Plan,but Man's default nature of sin interfered, so He changed methods. Now, Old Testament critics will say,all that took place in the Old Testament. Was Moses destined for Heaven? The answer is a BIG YES. But again, the flesh made Moses died in sin. He couldn't make it to Canaan , meaning he wasn't forgiven, for he blamed the Israelites for his sin. *PLEASE,I WANT US TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS, DON'T EVER ARGUE THE REASON FOR YOUR SIN... YOU HAVE SINNED,YOU HAVE SINNED....THIS WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOSES AND DAVID. INSTEAD OF REPENTANCE,MOSES BEGGED GOD TO BE ALLOWED TO ENTER CANAAN, IN ESSENCE, IT WASN'T EXACTLY HIS FAULT THAT HE OFFENDED GOD, AND MADE IT CLEAR IN DEUTERONOMY. AND GOD WOULD HAVE NONE OF THAT. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GREAT YOU HAVE WORKED FOR HIM. THUS, MOSES WAS ON THE PATH TO HELL FIRE, BUT THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCIES THAT ARCHANGEL MICHAEL INTERVENED* Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jud 1: 9) Archangel Michael is the commander of Heaven's Army... infact, he it was who booted the devil out of heaven when he rebelled against God. Now another confrontation was imminent,and wise Michael knows he doesn't have God's backing, because God doesn't fight a fight of blame. The devil has the right to Moses body having died unforgiven by God, because he passed the buck like Adam. Therefore, Michael humbled himself to prevent a battle he won't win and instead EXERCISED THE VETO POWER OF GOD (WHO WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM HE CHOOSES), and declared*The Lord rebuked thee,* and at that point, Moses was pardoned and the devil fled. IF NOT MOSES WOULDN'T HAVE APPEARED IN THE TRANSFIGURATION. Isn't this clear enough? Till we meet again; Thou art of PURER EYES than to BEHOLD EVIL, and CANST NOT LOOK ON INIQUITY: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? (Hab 1: 13) After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, AND YE SHALL KNOW MY BREACH OF PROMISE. (Num 14: 34) I counsel us to take our salvation seriously like Paul cautioned,so that either way, we won't lose out. IT REMAINS A MATTER OF CHOICE...OUR CHOICE ! THINK YE ON THIS THINGS!!! 🙇🙏!

In a population that treasures education, no school for Gaza’s children – Day 337 [email protected] September 9, 2024 Bezalel Smotrich, education in gaza, Hebron, illegal settlement, international court of justice, international law, itamar ben gvir, jordanian gunman, polio vaccine, starvation in gaza On the occasion of the International Day for the Protection of Education from Attack, observed on 9 September each year, several Palestinian associations and institutions issued a position statement calling upon the international community and the Member States of the United Nations to take immediate action to protect Palestinian education from Israeli military attacks. The position statement called for an immediate ceasefire and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, educational infrastructure, and called to hold Israel accountable for its crimes against education and children. They emphasized the need for immediate UN assistance to protect schools, continue the educational process, fund programs to compensate for the education lost, to help provide artificial limbs, polio vaccines, and the opening of border crossings for the treatment of Gaza children in hospitals abroad. According to the UN, 80% of Gaza’s schools have been destroyed or damaged, preventing some 620,000 students from completing their education. At least 10,000 students have been killed in Israel’s ongoing aggression on Gaza, and 13,444 others have been wounded; 397 teachers have also been killed. The interim report issued in March 2024 by the World Bank, UNRWA, and the European Union estimated the cost of damages to the education sector at $341 million. Particularly but not exclusively in the Middle East, Palestinians have long had a reputation as high-performing graduates, often proficient in at least two languages, and frequently going on to pursue successful careers in engineering, business, or medicine. At the same time, the Palestinians are the world’s largest refugee population, with the longest-running case of protracted displacement. Culturally, education has remained a top priority. More than 95% of children aged 6-12 in Gaza attended school before the war, and most graduate from high school. Additionally, 57% of students at the Islamic University of Gaza were female. NOTE: Since the war began on Oct. 7, schools have been bombed or turned into shelters for displaced people, leaving Gaza’s estimated 625,000 school-aged children unable to attend classes. All 12 of Gaza’s higher education institutions have been destroyed or damaged, leaving nearly 90,000 students stranded, and more than 350 teachers and academics have been killed, according to Palestinian official data.

Two hundred and seventeen Palestinians have been killed in the reported attacks, while hundreds more have been injured, a large number of casualties being women and children. In the past week, the Israeli army has increased its targeting of civilians in the Gaza City and North Gaza governorates by bombing residential buildings, civilian gatherings, and commercial stalls there, in addition to shelter centers and their surrounding areas. There is no legitimate reason to target schools above the heads of displaced individuals, and this act is a blatant violation of the principles of distinction, military necessity, proportionality, and the obligation to exercise appropriate caution. Every time it launches an attack, the Israeli army attempts to justify its actions by claiming that it is attacking military targets, but it never offers any proof to support these assertions. By killing and forcibly displacing as many Palestinians as possible from their land, these attacks are a part of the genocide being carried out by Israel in the Gaza Strip. According to preliminary investigations conducted by the Euro-Med Monitor field team, the Israeli army has deliberately destroyed all of the remaining shelters in the north of the Gaza Strip, including schools and public facilities. This destruction has been committed with the goal of establishing a coercive environment, in order to compel the civilian population to leave their neighborhoods and evacuate to the central and southern sections of the Strip.

As of Saturday evening, 441,647 children have received the vaccination. The campaign is ongoing in several areas. Health teams from the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with UNRWA, the World Health Organization (WHO), and UNICEF, are persevering with the vaccination efforts despite the ongoing Israeli aggression and the significant challenges posed by the current security situation affecting the movement between vaccination centers.

Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, reports (excerpts): Certain actions inherently increase the risk of starvation and indicate intent to starve a population. The most well-recognized starvation act is the weaponizing of humanitarian aid. This can be the restriction and blocking of humanitarian aid, or it can be using humanitarian aid as leverage for political negotiations or means to control local populations. Prior to 7 October 2023, approximately half of the people in Gaza were food insecure and more than 80 per cent relied on humanitarian aid; the total siege [of October 9] was an immediate catalyst for starvation. Israel made its intentions to starve everyone in Gaza explicit [on October 9, when it announced a “total siege”], implemented its plans, and predictably created a famine throughout Gaza. By destroying and poisoning agricultural land, decimating ports and fishing vessels, Israel has destroyed approximately 93 per cent of the economy of the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector. Israel has not only denied and restricted the delivery of humanitarian aid and violated its obligations to ensure that the aid that is let through reaches the population, it has also created a climate of horror by targeting humanitarian workers and civilians seeking humanitarian aid. The total siege that began on 9 October 2023 was a continuation of Israel’s 24-year blockade, and 75-year attack against Gaza’s food system. (Read the full report here.)

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said a truck driver opened fire at King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge crossing between Jordan and the occupied West Bank. The Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service said three men were critically injured in the attack before they were pronounced dead. The alleged attacker was shot dead, Haaretz newspaper said. The Israeli army said the attacker arrived from Jordan, disembarked, and opened fire on guards at the crossing. Israel Hayom adds: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that “we will stand together. We will wield the sword of David together and with G-d’s help, we will win,” referring not only to the attack but also to the ongoing war against Gaza.”There are those who ask – ‘Shall the sword devour forever?’ [II Samuel 2:26]. In the Middle East, without the sword, there is no ‘forever’.” “Generals’ Plan” floated to take over northern Gaza seems to ignore one important point Israel National News reports: The ‘Commanders and Reserve Soldiers’ Forum presented to the public the “Generals’ Plan” to defeat Hamas, which was written at the initiative of several generals and other senior officers, since the current strategy is not effective enough to overwhelm Hamas and get the hostages back. According to the plan, the entire area north of the Netzarim. Corridor, i.e. Gaza City with all its neighborhoods, would become a closed military area in which the entire population, estimated by the army to be approximately 250,000 people, would be required to leave within a week. “We mark two fairly safe exit corridors that will be secured by IDF forces,” according to the plan.” Those who leave will receive food and water. But in a week the entire territory of the northern Gaza Strip will become a military zone, and as far as we’re concerned, no supply will enter this military zone.” One of the generals stated that “therefore 5,000 terrorists who are in this area would in this situation either surrender or starve to death.” The forum stated that the outline complies with the rules of international law because it allows the population to evacuate from the combat zone before the siege is imposed. NOTE: This plan completely overlooks the fact that Hamas has tunnels all over Gaza, and would be able to get not only food, but also weapons. The hostages may also be kept in northern Gaza.

Moshe was taken captive by Hamas on 7 October and released on 24 November as part of a temporary ceasefire deal brokered by Qatar and the US between Hamas and Israel. Moshe said that after her release, she was debriefed by the Shin Bet (‘Shabak’), Israel’s internal security service. “The internal security service asked me to draw a map of the tunnels in Gaza because they know nothing about them,” Israel’s Channel 12 quoted her as saying. During a speech she gave during the protests in Israel, Moshe indicated that the Shin Bet had sent her an engineer on its behalf who asked her to explain what Hamas’ tunnels, telephones, and wires looked like, what their branches were and where they were located. She told the engineer that “the tunnels in the Gaza Strip are a huge, huge maze that extends underground throughout the Strip, and military pressure will not help bring back the prisoners.” Adina Moshe, an Israeli woman formerly held captive in Gaza, said, "The [Israeli] internal security service asked me to draw a map of the tunnels in Gaza because they know nothing about them."

Israeli forces fired at the vehicle, with one Palestinian killed and another wounded, the broadcaster reported. There were no casualties among the soldiers, it added. The Israeli military has effectively transformed the city of Hebron and nearby towns in the southern West Bank into what resembles a “large prison” by severing access with military checkpoints and iron gates, Palestinians told Anadolu.

(photo) Senior Israeli officers accuse government of encouraging escalation in West Bank Andalou Agency reports: Senior Israeli military officers have accused the country’s political leadership of inciting escalation in the occupied West Bank. The officers said far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are “directly responsible” for the rise in violence in the occupied territory, warning that the situation could spiral into a full-blown uprising, with many young Palestinians already facing unemployment and lack of opportunities. “We are trying to prevent the population from fully joining the violence,” a military officer told Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, adding that the ongoing Israeli restrictions have exacerbated tensions in the area. Attacks on Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers also push young Palestinians to join armed groups in the West Bank, the daily warned. “This situation can’t continue. We are on the verge of a major explosion in Judea and Samaria (West Bank),” another senior military officer said. The Israeli officers warned that provocations by government officials as Ben-Gvir’s intrusions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and his attempts to allow Jewish prayers at the flashpoint site risk inflaming tensions in the West Bank and the whole Arab world. Last week, the Israeli army launched its largest military operation in the northern West Bank in two decades, killing at least 40 people and causing massive destruction in the area.

The extremist Israeli minister said in a post on X that “The mission of my life is to build the land of Israel and thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state. That is why I have taken upon myself, in addition to the position of Minister of Finance, responsibility for civil issues in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).” “I will continue to work with all my might so that the half a million settlers who are on the front line and under fire enjoy the rights of every citizen in Israel and establish the facts on the ground,” he added.

NOTE: Israeli settlements and settlers on Palestinian land are a violation of international law. According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12 on Sunday, the resolution, which cites a July 19 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, is expected to be brought to a vote next week. The ruling declared that “Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and the regime associated with them, have been established and are being maintained in violation of international law.” The draft text also urges U.N. member states to impose sanctions on officials in Jerusalem, ban trade with Jewish businesses in Judea and Samaria, and block weapons sales to Israel if they might be used in the area. Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon, attacked the P.A.’s move and called on the 193 members of the General Assembly to “outright reject this shameful resolution and instead adopt a resolution condemning Hamas, calling on it to release all the hostages immediately. In related news, Reuters reports: U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said in a speech at the start of the five-week U.N. Human Rights Council session in Geneva, “States must not – cannot – accept blatant disregard for international law, including binding decisions of the [UN] Security Council and orders of the International Court of Justice, neither in this nor any other situation.” He cited the opinion released by the UN top court in July that called Israel’s occupation illegal and said this situation must be “comprehensively addressed.” Israel has rejected the opinion.

These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.] This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 691 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths. Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.

NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

Israel kills American activist, terrorizes prisoners, as Biden admin shrugs – Day 335 CNN reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday was as clear as he has ever been that he does not believe a ceasefire and hostage deal is likely in Gaza in a sharp rebuke to the Biden administration’s insistence it’s close at hand. “There’s not a deal in the making,” Netanyahu told Fox News. “Unfortunately, it’s not close.” His comments stand in stark contrast to the relentlessly hopeful messaging from the Biden administration over the past months. On Sunday, President Joe Biden claimed that the parties were on the verge of a deal, and on Wednesday, a senior administration official claimed 90% of the agreement had been completed. That, Netanyahu said, is “exactly inaccurate.” UN Humanitarian Affairs: Israel is blocking entrance of explosive ordnance disposal equipment OCHA reports: The ongoing escalation of hostilities is resulting in widespread contamination by Explosive Ordnance (EO). While the exact number of EO-related casualties is unknown, there have been cases of people who died due to the explosion of EO, according to humanitarian partners. On 3 September, a Palestinian girl was reportedly critically injured by the explosion of an EO in southwestern Khan Younis and succumbed to her wounds on 4 September. Children face a heightened risk of being exposed to EO, as they usually play outside, tend to search for scraps amongst rubbish and rubble, and lack an awareness on the dangers of EO. Despite ongoing efforts by humanitarian partners to conduct in-person and digital Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) campaigns, educational material as well as minimum standard Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment are refused entry into Gaza by Israeli authorities, therefore limiting the capacity of the mine action response. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster is concerned with the staggering increase in the cost of basic hygiene items. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), in July, the price of soap has increased 1,177 per cent and shampoo has increased 490 per cent across the Strip, compared to July 2023. Israeli army kills Palestinian girl in West Bank: Health Ministry Al Jazeera reports: A 13-year-old girl succumbed to her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces in Qaryout, a village south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. The village was reportedly attacked by Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces when Bana Amjad Bakr was shot in the chest by an Israeli soldier. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its teams dealt with the “serious” injury after confrontations broke out in the village. Amjad Bakr was shot while she was in her bedroom, her father said. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she died. Settler attacks are common in the West Bank and have increased in scale and intensity since October 7. The Israeli army and settlers have displaced more than 1,200 Palestinians and destroyed hundreds of structures, according to UN figures. Israel pulls out of Jenin, but denies end of West Bank offensive Middle East Eye reports: Israeli forces have pulled out of Jenin after a 10-day assault, but the military has denied it is ending its operation in the occupied West Bank. The offensive, which has so far left at least 39 Palestinians dead, saw soldiers backed by armored vehicles and bulldozers targeting the city and its adjacent refugee camp, forcing the flight of many of the residents. Palestinians started returning to their Jenin homes on Friday, while those who had been trapped by the offensive were able to venture outside for the first time in more than a week. Israel said on Friday that it would continue its operation in Jenin until its “objectives are achieved”. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says at least 40 people (6 of them youths) have been killed in the West Bank since August 28 when Israeli forces launched a large-scale incursion into several towns and cities: 21 Palestinians were killed in Jenin; 8 in Tubas; 8 in Tulkarem; and 3 in Hebron.

Ayşenur, who we (ISM) consider a martyr in the struggle, was the 18th demonstrator to be killed in Beita since 2020. She was an American citizen of Turkish descent. She was involved with the Faz’a campaign, an organization that aims to support and protect Palestinian farmers from violations by illegal Jewish settlers and military forces. The Israeli forces fired two rounds. One hit a Palestinian man in the leg, injuring him. The other round was fired at international human rights activists who were observing the demonstration from a distance, striking the human rights activist in the head. Neither Ezgi nor the other wounded person posed any threat to the soldiers stationed on the hills adjacent to the site of the weekly march. Eygi died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus. The Israeli military admitted to firing at the demonstrators and said it was looking into reports that a foreign national was killed. The Israel Defense Forces said it “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them”. The US has not said whether Eygi had been shot by Israeli troops. “We are urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death, and will have more to say as we learn more,” Matthew Miller, a state department spokesperson, said. Asked if the US would take action against Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “First things first – let’s find out exactly what happened and we will draw the necessary conclusions and consequences from that.” Eygi’s family released a statement declaring, “A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter,” adding, “Given the circumstances of Aysenur’s killing, an Israeli investigation is not adequate.” “We call on President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary of State Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a US citizen and to ensure full accountability.” Ayşenur Eygi, 26, ‘was not a naive traveler – this experience was, according to one of her professors, the culmination of all her years of activism. Her friends say she was a longtime activist “bearing witness to oppression.” She was remembered by friends and former professors as a dedicated organizer who felt a strong moral obligation to bring attention to the plight of Palestinians. Eygi, who is also a Turkish citizen and leaves behind her husband, graduated from UW earlier this year with a major in psychology and minor in Middle Eastern languages and culture, Fani said. She walked the stage with a large “Free Palestine” flag during the ceremony, Fani said. Ezgi is the third ISM volunteer to be killed by the Israeli forces in occupied Palestine. Rachel Corrie was killed in Gaza’s Rafah in 2003 after an Israeli soldier crushed her with a bulldozer. Tom Hurndall was killed in Gaza in 2004 by an Israeli sniper. An Israeli soldier shot Brian Avery in the face in Jenin in 2003. He survived the attack but was permanently maimed. The bullet ripped through his cheek and smashed his eye socket and jaw bones. RECOMMENDED READING: Instead of Taylor Force Act, Congress should consider Rachel Corrie Act, Orwah Hammad Act Israeli Prison Guards Filmed Abusing Detainees; Prison Service Says It’s a ‘Routine Exercise’ Ha’aretz reports: Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison. Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a “routine exercise.” The Prison Service said in response that it “maintains an operational routine for the safety of the prison inmates and the public. In this case, too, in an operation that includes intelligence [gathering], soldiers of the ‘Nachshon’ unit…raided terrorist cells, searched them and seized assault weapons and prohibited materials.” The service failed to present any of the assault weapons allegedly seized. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has urged the United Nations to open an independent investigation. The group has also said that the Israeli authorities are “deliberately” leaking images and footage of the torture of Palestinian detainees, explaining in a statement that this was “part of the competition between the ministers of the current government over who tortures and kills Palestinians more”. UNICEF says Israelis refusing to facilitate polio vaccine campaign Al Jazeera reports: UNICEF says it is making every effort to distribute the polio vaccine in Gaza during the agreed-upon pauses in fighting. However, it reported that Israel continues to deny medical teams access to communities in certain areas of southern Gaza. Nearly 355,000 children have received the vaccine in spite of Israel’s lack of cooperation. Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Khan Younis: Israeli legislator calls on police to probe B’Tselem activist for ‘aiding the enemy’ Middle East Monitor reports: Israel’s Likud Party Knesset Member Tally Gotliv called for the execution or life imprisonment of human rights activist Yuli Novak following her speech at the UN Security Council on Wednesday. Novak, the executive director or Israeli rights group B’Tselem, told the UNSC: “Since Israel was founded, its guiding logic has been to promote Jewish supremacy over the entire territory under its control.” She added that the far-right Israeli government has been “cynically exploiting” its citizens’ “collective trauma” since the 7 October 2023 infiltration of Israel by Palestinian resistance fighters. It is doing this, she explained, “to violently advance its project of cementing Israel[i] control over the entire land … committing war crimes almost daily.” Gotliv called for Novak to be probed by Israel Police “for the suspected serious crime of assistance to the enemy in war.” She said that such a crime was an offense under the penal law, “which carries the death penalty or a life sentence”. “Novak has shamefully put the state of Israel, currently engaged in a war for survival, at risk and assisted Israel’s enemies on various fronts,” the lawmaker wrote, accusing the activist of telling lies about Israel committing war crimes. Gotliv was among the legislators that joined Israeli crowds to protest the arrest of soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian detainee from Gaza held in the Israeli Sde Teiman prison. NOTE: B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories strives for a future in which human rights, liberty and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Such a future will only be possible when the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime end. That is the future we are working towards. B’Tselem (in Hebrew literally: in the image of), the name chosen for the organization by the late Member of Knesset Yossi Sarid, is an allusion to Genesis 1:27: “And God created humankind in His image. In the image of God did He create them.” The name expresses the universal and Jewish moral edict to respect and uphold the human rights of all people. Netanyahu is unequivocal about ceasefire and hostage agreement with Hamas: ‘There’s not a deal in the making’ Israel shells Lebanon with white phosphorus bombs, performs ground invasion drills The Cradle reports: According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), Israel targeted southern Lebanon with white phosphorus on Friday. “The area between Tal Nahas and Al-Hamams towards the Marjayoun plain is being subjected to artillery shelling with phosphorus shells, which caused fires to break out,” NNA said. Israeli threats against Lebanon have escalated once again. The Israeli military said on 6 September that its Yiftah Brigade carried out drills this week simulating a ground invasion of Lebanon, moving along a “mountainous route” and “complex terrain.” NOTE: Use of white phosphorus in civilian areas is considered a war crime due to its extremely dangerous effects on the human body. White phosphorus ignites instantly when in contact with oxygen. It can burn through the human body, including through bone, causing severe, excruciating damage. It can also cause extreme harm when inhaled, with risks of suffocation, cardiovascular failure, coma, death, and other lifelong effects. The substance burns at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. MORE NEWS: IMEMC Daily Reports.

These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.] This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 691 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths. Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced. Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.

NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

[ Issam Rimawi – Anadolu Agency] (photo) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff ‘3,000 operatives’: Hamas regains capabilities in northern Gaza – report Jerusalem Post reports: Hamas has managed to regain some of its capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip, according to a Monday Channel 12 report, citing a security source. The report specified that Hamas had enlisted some 3,000 new operatives into its ranks in that area of Gaza. Additionally, the resistance group reportedly provided them with weapons, ammunition, and payment. According to the Channel 12 report, while some Israeli forces remain in northern Gaza, the absence of large troop deployments has allowed Hamas to operate more freely in that area. At the beginning of the war with Gaza, Israeli forces invaded northern Gaza, reportedly destroying much of the Hamas infrastructure there. In mid-July, the IDF ended a re-invasion of northern Gaza to concentrate on the central Gaza Strip. Israel to classify West Bank as ‘combat zone’ amid dramatic escalation Israel Hayom reports: Recent events have triggered a major policy shift in Israel’s approach to the West Bank, Israel Hayom has learned. Previously designated as a “secondary arena” requiring stable maintenance, the Israeli military now operates under a new paradigm, viewing the West Bank as the second most critical front, immediately after Gaza. A series of operations across the West Bank are imminent. “The Jenin operation is just the beginning,” security officials emphasize. Security officials recommend launching extensive operations. One security source described it as “not just mowing the lawn, but uprooting the problem at its source.” NOTE: In reality, International law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, even to the point of armed resistance. Hamas has clearly and openly stated that its enemy is not the Jewish people, but the racist ideology of Zionism – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people, exiled them to Gaza and other locations, and continues to oppress and ethnically cleanse their population.

The total number of injuries in the West Bank and Gaza combined has surpassed 100,000 (94,398 in Gaza, 5,700 in the West Bank) – even as healthcare facilities in both areas remain under siege. JENIN AREA: Israeli forces today directly targeted four journalists in the town of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, as they covered the Israeli aggression in the town. The occupation forces fired live bullets directly at the vehicle of the two photojournalists while they were trying to reach the location of the other journalists in the village of Kafr Dan. “We narrowly escaped death,” one of the victims explained. “If we hadn’t sped up a bit in our car, they would have killed us. It was a direct assassination attempt.” On Tuesday afternoon, Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian teenage girl and prevented medics from reaching her until she succumbed to her wounds in Kafr Dan town, west of Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics moved the slain child, Lujain Osama Abdul-Rauf Mosleh, 16, to a hospital in Jenin. TULKARM: A Palestinian minor was killed Tuesday dawn by Israeli occupation forces during the ongoing raid on Tulkarm camp. Medical and local sources said that Mohammad Kanaan was killed after being shot in the head by the occupation forces’ snipers while he was with his father in one of the camp’s neighborhoods, while his father was shot in the abdomen by the occupation forces. On Tuesday evening, two Palestinians were killed after the army surrounded a home and fired at it, in the Thannaba Suburb in Tulkarem. Media sources said that the attack killed two young men inside the home before the soldiers took their corpses to an unknown destination. (More on Tulkarm here.) HEBRON: After closing the Ibrahimi Mosque to Muslim Palestinian worshippers, the Israeli army allowed thousands of illegal settlers to hold a concert and perform their rituals at the site in the West Bank city of Hebron.

As of September 4, CPJ has documented a total of 54 arrests of journalists in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza and in the city of Jerusalem, claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians as a capital, since the war began on October 7, 2023. Israel arrested 51; Palestinian authorities arrested three. Nineteen of these journalists, including the three held by Palestinian authorities, have since been released, while 35 remain under arrest. At least 14 of the journalists arrested by Israel are being held under administrative detention, a policy under which a military commander may detain an individual without charge, typically for six months, on the grounds of preventing them from committing a future offense. Detention can be extended an unlimited number of times. (Editor’s note: These numbers are being updated regularly as more information becomes available. The tally includes all arrests documented by CPJ. As is our global practice, journalists who request anonymity out of concern for their safety are not named in the list below.) “Since October 7, Israel has been arresting Palestinian journalists in record numbers and using administrative detention to keep them behind bars, thus depriving the region not only of much needed information, but also of Palestinian voices on the conflict,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna in New York. “If Israel wants to live up to its self-styled reputation of being the only democracy in the Middle East, it needs to release detained Palestinian journalists and stop using military courts to hold them without evidence.” CPJ ALSO REPORTS: Since the Israel-Gaza war began on October 7, journalists and media across the region have faced a hostile environment that has made reporting on the war exceptionally challenging. In addition to documenting the growing tally of journalists killed and injured, CPJ’s research has found multiple kinds of incidents of journalists being targeted while carrying out their work in Israel and the two Palestinian territories, Gaza and the West Bank. These include 54 arrests, as well as numerous assaults, threats and harassment, cyberattacks, and censorship. (Find details and examples here. Find an up-to-date list of journalists killed here.)

The officials said the government’s refusal to set up a state commission of inquiry to investigate the events of the war, as recommended by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, along with the fact that Israel has been lagging in its own investigations of alleged war crimes – something that would preempt ICC action under the principle of complementarity – strengthen the likelihood that the court will accept Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request for the warrants. The officials said they expect the court to issue its decision within days, or at most a few weeks. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J.

Other Hamas leaders charged include Marwan Issa, the deputy leader of Hamas’s armed wing in Gaza, Khaled Meshaal, a deputy of slain former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and a former leader of the group, Mohammed al-Masri and Ali Baraka.

RECOMMENDED READING: US charges Hamas leaders over October 7, Gaza mediation role under question Netanyahu once again erases Palestine during address Middle East Monitor reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday. The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv. Speaking about the importance of the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt, Netanyahu used a map which showed the entirety of the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem as being annexed to Israel and only had the Gaza Strip outlined. “Netanyahu’s map reveals the truth of the colonial and racist agendas of the extremist right-wing government,” the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “Netanyahu continues and repeatedly uses a map that includes the West Bank as part of the occupation state, in clear and explicit recognition of this racist colonial crime, and disregard of international legitimacy and its resolutions, international will for peace and the signed agreements,” the ministry said. NOTE: Israel’s supporters criticize the pro-Palestine slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free,” because they claim it calls for the erasure of Israel. In reality, the phrase is, in the words of Palestinian American congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, “an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence.” Netanyahu’s map says, in essence, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall not exist.” RECOMMENDED READING: No more “shrinking map of Palestine” – it’s gone Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank to address the media [Screenshot/Anadolu] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank to address the media [Screenshot/Anadolu] (photo) Trump advisor pushes to divert Palestine aid funds for Israeli annexation of West Bank The Cradle reports: Former US ambassador to Israel and advisor to Donald Trump, David Friedman, proposed in his new book that Congress should redirect $1 billion allocated for Palestinian aid to support Israeli plans for an annexation of the occupied West Bank. “Israel will need financial assistance to assert and maintain its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria,” Friedman wrote in his new book, using the biblical term used by Israel to refer to the West Bank. Friedman writes in his book, titled One Jewish State: The Last and Best Hope for Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, that the US could divert $1 billion in current aid to the Palestinians – which includes funds for Palestinian Authority (PA) security services – to fund the Israeli annexation plan. Friedman also compares Palestinians living under Israeli occupation to Puerto Ricans, who live on an island considered US territory. “Palestinians, like Puerto Ricans, will not vote in national elections. Palestinians will be free to enact their own governing documents as long as they do not conflict with those of Israel,” he wrote. Friedman argues the US should support Israel’s annexation “based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values”, saying that such a policy “hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity”. Friedman said he has not yet shared his idea for funding the annexation with Trump. “I hope to share it with him at the appropriate time.” NOTE: “Biblical prophecies” do not speak anywhere of a modern Jewish state. Pro-Israel (and in many cases, antisemitic) interpretations of Biblical prophecies have twisted the words of the sacred text to imply that a modern Jewish state is a precursor to the endtimes and the return of Christ.

The aim of the administration’s public messages, according to one of the officials, was to allow the talks to continue, in the hope that a breakthrough might occur nonetheless. “It has no real connection to reality,” he said. President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House national security spokesman John Kirby repeat every few days that progress has been made in the talks, the gaps between Israel and Hamas can be bridged and an agreement is within reach, if both sides agree to compromise. Behind the scenes, however, the administration is well aware that the talks have reached an impasse due to Netanyahu’s insistence on the issue of the Philadelphi route, and it seems that both the prime minister and Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas and the organization’s top official in Gaza, are refusing to take the necessary steps to reach a deal at this time. “We want this agreement more than they do,” the American official said. HA’ARETZ ALSO REPORTS: A source inside the Netanyahu coalition who is closely involved in and a part of the government said, “Benjamin Netanyahu decided some weeks ago that he does not want a deal, and when it became possible, he got nervous and did all he could to torpedo it. He figured out that [he could use] the Philadelphi corridor” to stall the process. “The media fell for this spin and is consumed all day long with the question of yes or no to the Philadelphi, when the real question is really the fate of the hostages versus the fate of the coalition,” the source added. “Not one minister, including those who know that Netanyahu is sabotaging a deal, will do anything,” the source says. “They are bound to one another, their political survival depends on the government’s survival, and therefore this situation will continue. Netanyahu will pursue an endless war because that’s what is good for him.” Netanyahu, centre, chairs a cabinet meeting at the Kirya, which houses the Israeli Ministry of Defense, in Tel Aviv Netanyahu, center, chairs a cabinet meeting at the Kirya, which houses the Israeli Ministry of Defense, in Tel Aviv (photo) David Cameron sat on advice that there was breach of law in Gaza, officials say The Guardian reports: As far back as February, UK’s former foreign secretary David Cameron sat on advice that arms export licenses to Israel should be banned. The recommendation was based on clear evidence that Israel was violating international humanitarian law in Gaza, for which the UK risked being complicit, a former Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) adviser said. The source, who contributed to the drafting of the advice, was speaking after the Labour government banned 30 of about 350 arms export licenses due to a clear risk cited in a government memorandum published on Monday that they might be used in serious breaches of international humanitarian law. “The tragedy has to be considered: how many lives might have been saved if the arms export licenses had been stopped [in February and not in September, and what the potential ripple effect might have been on how other countries would have reacted in ceasing trade.” NOTE: While the Biden administration has claimed often to be “working day and night” on a ceasefire, in reality, it has been working relentlessly to keep Israel armed – including through secret arms sales – to enable its genocidal war on the Palestinian people. American arms shipments to Israel since October 7th have surpassed 50,000 tons. Most Americans are opposed to arms transfers to Israel.

There Is No Argument For Supporting Israel That’s Both Logical And Moral by Caitlyn Johnstone: It’s wild when you realize that nobody can actually articulate a reason why Israel should be supported that is both logically coherent and morally defensible. Westerners grow up being indoctrinated with the understanding that this tiny country in the middle east is super duper important and needs to be supported and defended at all cost, but if you examine the reasons given for why this is so as an adult, you find that none of them really hold water. “Israel is the only place where Jews can be safe!” “The Jews deserve a homeland!” “Israel is the only liberal democracy in the middle east.” “I support Israel’s existence but I oppose the mistreatment of Palestinians.” “Israel is essential for protecting our interests in the region.” (Read Caitlyn Johnstone’s rebuttal to each of these statements here.)

[ Issam Rimawi – Anadolu Agency] (photo) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff ‘3,000 operatives’: Hamas regains capabilities in northern Gaza – report Jerusalem Post reports: Hamas has managed to regain some of its capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip, according to a Monday Channel 12 report, citing a security source. The report specified that Hamas had enlisted some 3,000 new operatives into its ranks in that area of Gaza. Additionally, the resistance group reportedly provided them with weapons, ammunition, and payment. According to the Channel 12 report, while some Israeli forces remain in northern Gaza, the absence of large troop deployments has allowed Hamas to operate more freely in that area. At the beginning of the war with Gaza, Israeli forces invaded northern Gaza, reportedly destroying much of the Hamas infrastructure there. In mid-July, the IDF ended a re-invasion of northern Gaza to concentrate on the central Gaza Strip. Israel to classify West Bank as ‘combat zone’ amid dramatic escalation Israel Hayom reports: Recent events have triggered a major policy shift in Israel’s approach to the West Bank, Israel Hayom has learned. Previously designated as a “secondary arena” requiring stable maintenance, the Israeli military now operates under a new paradigm, viewing the West Bank as the second most critical front, immediately after Gaza. A series of operations across the West Bank are imminent. “The Jenin operation is just the beginning,” security officials emphasize. Security officials recommend launching extensive operations. One security source described it as “not just mowing the lawn, but uprooting the problem at its source.” NOTE: In reality, International law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, even to the point of armed resistance. Hamas has clearly and openly stated that its enemy is not the Jewish people, but the racist ideology of Zionism – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people, exiled them to Gaza and other locations, and continues to oppress and ethnically cleanse their population.

The total number of injuries in the West Bank and Gaza combined has surpassed 100,000 (94,398 in Gaza, 5,700 in the West Bank) – even as healthcare facilities in both areas remain under siege. JENIN AREA: Israeli forces today directly targeted four journalists in the town of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, as they covered the Israeli aggression in the town. The occupation forces fired live bullets directly at the vehicle of the two photojournalists while they were trying to reach the location of the other journalists in the village of Kafr Dan. “We narrowly escaped death,” one of the victims explained. “If we hadn’t sped up a bit in our car, they would have killed us. It was a direct assassination attempt.” On Tuesday afternoon, Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian teenage girl and prevented medics from reaching her until she succumbed to her wounds in Kafr Dan town, west of Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics moved the slain child, Lujain Osama Abdul-Rauf Mosleh, 16, to a hospital in Jenin. TULKARM: A Palestinian minor was killed Tuesday dawn by Israeli occupation forces during the ongoing raid on Tulkarm camp. Medical and local sources said that Mohammad Kanaan was killed after being shot in the head by the occupation forces’ snipers while he was with his father in one of the camp’s neighborhoods, while his father was shot in the abdomen by the occupation forces. On Tuesday evening, two Palestinians were killed after the army surrounded a home and fired at it, in the Thannaba Suburb in Tulkarem. Media sources said that the attack killed two young men inside the home before the soldiers took their corpses to an unknown destination. (More on Tulkarm here.)

As of September 4, CPJ has documented a total of 54 arrests of journalists in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza and in the city of Jerusalem, claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians as a capital, since the war began on October 7, 2023. Israel arrested 51; Palestinian authorities arrested three. Nineteen of these journalists, including the three held by Palestinian authorities, have since been released, while 35 remain under arrest. At least 14 of the journalists arrested by Israel are being held under administrative detention, a policy under which a military commander may detain an individual without charge, typically for six months, on the grounds of preventing them from committing a future offense. Detention can be extended an unlimited number of times. (Editor’s note: These numbers are being updated regularly as more information becomes available. The tally includes all arrests documented by CPJ. As is our global practice, journalists who request anonymity out of concern for their safety are not named in the list below.) “Since October 7, Israel has been arresting Palestinian journalists in record numbers and using administrative detention to keep them behind bars, thus depriving the region not only of much needed information, but also of Palestinian voices on the conflict,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna in New York. “If Israel wants to live up to its self-styled reputation of being the only democracy in the Middle East, it needs to release detained Palestinian journalists and stop using military courts to hold them without evidence.” CPJ ALSO REPORTS: Since the Israel-Gaza war began on October 7, journalists and media across the region have faced a hostile environment that has made reporting on the war exceptionally challenging. In addition to documenting the growing tally of journalists killed and injured, CPJ’s research has found multiple kinds of incidents of journalists being targeted while carrying out their work in Israel and the two Palestinian territories, Gaza and the West Bank. These include 54 arrests, as well as numerous assaults, threats and harassment, cyberattacks, and censorship. (Find details and examples here. Find an up-to-date list of journalists killed here.) RECOMMENDED READING: CNN staff say network’s pro-Israel slant amounts to ‘journalistic malpractice’ Int’l Criminal Court likely to decide whether to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant ‘over coming days’ Ha’aretz reports: Justice Ministry officials expect the International Criminal Court (ICC) to decide in the coming days on whether to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, but are cautiously optimistic that the court will decide against the warrants. The officials said the government’s refusal to set up a state commission of inquiry to investigate the events of the war, as recommended by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, along with the fact that Israel has been lagging in its own investigations of alleged war crimes – something that would preempt ICC action under the principle of complementarity – strengthen the likelihood that the court will accept Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request for the warrants. The officials said they expect the court to issue its decision within days, or at most a few weeks. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J.

Other Hamas leaders charged include Marwan Issa, the deputy leader of Hamas’s armed wing in Gaza, Khaled Meshaal, a deputy of slain former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and a former leader of the group, Mohammed al-Masri and Ali Baraka.

RECOMMENDED READING: US charges Hamas leaders over October 7, Gaza mediation role under question Netanyahu once again erases Palestine during address Middle East Monitor reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday. The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv. Speaking about the importance of the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt, Netanyahu used a map which showed the entirety of the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem as being annexed to Israel and only had the Gaza Strip outlined. “Netanyahu’s map reveals the truth of the colonial and racist agendas of the extremist right-wing government,” the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “Netanyahu continues and repeatedly uses a map that includes the West Bank as part of the occupation state, in clear and explicit recognition of this racist colonial crime, and disregard of international legitimacy and its resolutions, international will for peace and the signed agreements,” the ministry said. NOTE: Israel’s supporters criticize the pro-Palestine slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free,” because they claim it calls for the erasure of Israel. In reality, the phrase is, in the words of Palestinian American congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, “an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence.” Netanyahu’s map says, in essence, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall not exist.” RECOMMENDED READING: No more “shrinking map of Palestine” – it’s gone Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank to address the media [Screenshot/Anadolu] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank to address the media [Screenshot/Anadolu] (photo) Trump advisor pushes to divert Palestine aid funds for Israeli annexation of West Bank The Cradle reports: Former US ambassador to Israel and advisor to Donald Trump, David Friedman, proposed in his new book that Congress should redirect $1 billion allocated for Palestinian aid to support Israeli plans for an annexation of the occupied West Bank. “Israel will need financial assistance to assert and maintain its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria,” Friedman wrote in his new book, using the biblical term used by Israel to refer to the West Bank. Friedman writes in his book, titled One Jewish State: The Last and Best Hope for Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, that the US could divert $1 billion in current aid to the Palestinians – which includes funds for Palestinian Authority (PA) security services – to fund the Israeli annexation plan. Friedman also compares Palestinians living under Israeli occupation to Puerto Ricans, who live on an island considered US territory. “Palestinians, like Puerto Ricans, will not vote in national elections. Palestinians will be free to enact their own governing documents as long as they do not conflict with those of Israel,” he wrote. Friedman argues the US should support Israel’s annexation “based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values”, saying that such a policy “hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity”. Friedman said he has not yet shared his idea for funding the annexation with Trump. “I hope to share it with him at the appropriate time.” NOTE: “Biblical prophecies” do not speak anywhere of a modern Jewish state. Pro-Israel (and in many cases, antisemitic) interpretations of Biblical prophecies have twisted the words of the sacred text to imply that a modern Jewish state is a precursor to the endtimes and the return of Christ.

(photo) U.S. Still Talking Up a Hostage Deal, but Privately Despair About Netanyahu Ha’aretz reports: The Biden administration continues to insist publicly that it is committed to negotiations on a hostage and cease-fire deal in Gaza Strip, but senior officials in the government are expressing despair and frustration about the state of the talks, especially after Israel’s security cabinet approved a resolution last week opposing withdrawal from the Philadelphi route in the context of an agreement. The aim of the administration’s public messages, according to one of the officials, was to allow the talks to continue, in the hope that a breakthrough might occur nonetheless. “It has no real connection to reality,” he said. President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House national security spokesman John Kirby repeat every few days that progress has been made in the talks, the gaps between Israel and Hamas can be bridged and an agreement is within reach, if both sides agree to compromise. Behind the scenes, however, the administration is well aware that the talks have reached an impasse due to Netanyahu’s insistence on the issue of the Philadelphi route, and it seems that both the prime minister and Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas and the organization’s top official in Gaza, are refusing to take the necessary steps to reach a deal at this time. “We want this agreement more than they do,” the American official said. HA’ARETZ ALSO REPORTS: A source inside the Netanyahu coalition who is closely involved in and a part of the government said, “Benjamin Netanyahu decided some weeks ago that he does not want a deal, and when it became possible, he got nervous and did all he could to torpedo it. He figured out that [he could use] the Philadelphi corridor” to stall the process. “The media fell for this spin and is consumed all day long with the question of yes or no to the Philadelphi, when the real question is really the fate of the hostages versus the fate of the coalition,” the source added. “Not one minister, including those who know that Netanyahu is sabotaging a deal, will do anything,” the source says. “They are bound to one another, their political survival depends on the government’s survival, and therefore this situation will continue. Netanyahu will pursue an endless war because that’s what is good for him.” Netanyahu, centre, chairs a cabinet meeting at the Kirya, which houses the Israeli Ministry of Defense, in Tel Aviv Netanyahu, center, chairs a cabinet meeting at the Kirya, which houses the Israeli Ministry of Defense, in Tel Aviv (photo) David Cameron sat on advice that there was breach of law in Gaza, officials say The Guardian reports: As far back as February, UK’s former foreign secretary David Cameron sat on advice that arms export licenses to Israel should be banned. The recommendation was based on clear evidence that Israel was violating international humanitarian law in Gaza, for which the UK risked being complicit, a former Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) adviser said. The source, who contributed to the drafting of the advice, was speaking after the Labour government banned 30 of about 350 arms export licenses due to a clear risk cited in a government memorandum published on Monday that they might be used in serious breaches of international humanitarian law. “The tragedy has to be considered: how many lives might have been saved if the arms export licenses had been stopped [in February and not in September, and what the potential ripple effect might have been on how other countries would have reacted in ceasing trade.” NOTE: While the Biden administration has claimed often to be “working day and night” on a ceasefire, in reality, it has been working relentlessly to keep Israel armed – including through secret arms sales – to enable its genocidal war on the Palestinian people. American arms shipments to Israel since October 7th have surpassed 50,000 tons. Most Americans are opposed to arms transfers to Israel.

There Is No Argument For Supporting Israel That’s Both Logical And Moral by Caitlyn Johnstone: It’s wild when you realize that nobody can actually articulate a reason why Israel should be supported that is both logically coherent and morally defensible. Westerners grow up being indoctrinated with the understanding that this tiny country in the middle east is super duper important and needs to be supported and defended at all cost, but if you examine the reasons given for why this is so as an adult, you find that none of them really hold water. “Israel is the only place where Jews can be safe!” “The Jews deserve a homeland!” “Israel is the only liberal democracy in the middle east.” “I support Israel’s existence but I oppose the mistreatment of Palestinians.” “Israel is essential for protecting our interests in the region.” (Read Caitlyn Johnstone’s rebuttal to each of these statements here.)
