Israel Building Massive Underground Wall to Stop Tunnels By Ariella Mendlowitz - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

Israel Building Massive Underground Wall to Stop Tunnels


“Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster.” Ezekiel 13:10 (The Israel Bible™)
Israel’s defense establishment is developing plans to construct a concrete wall tens of meters under and above ground along the border that divides the Israel and the Gaza Strip, Ynet reported on Thursday.
Similar to the “West Bank barrier” or security fence that Israel began building in 2002 to separate Israelis from violent Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, this newest wall is intended to protect Israelis living along or near the border from infiltration via terror tunnels as well as defend against cross-border fire.
The costs to build the wall are estimated at approximately NIS 2.2 billion ($570 million USD). The wall will cover 60 miles of land around Gaza’s southern border. Exact measurements of how high the wall will reach above ground and how deep it will run below ground have not yet been revealed.
The time is now! Help the IDF fight terror. Donate to LIBI today!
According to Ynet, this wall will be the third defense system of its kind that Israel has built along the border. In 1994, after the Oslo accords were struck, Israel constructed the first 60-kilometer barrier. The second system was implemented after former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced the decision to remove all Jewish presence from Gaza in 2005. Neither of these efforts would ever be capable of combating the severe threat posed by Hamas’s attack tunnels.
While efforts against Israel’s enemies in the south continue, the IDF is simultaneously erecting a similar wall around some sections of the Israeli-Lebanon border in close proximity to several Israeli towns. The decision to build came after Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, publicly threatened attacks against civilians in the nearby villages.
Earlier this year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized his support for building walls, saying that doing so will “protect Israel against beasts,” referring to Palestinians who seek to carry out attacks against Jews. Netanyahu’s statement came while touring a new security fence near the southern Israeli city of Eilat which was being built along Israel’s border with Jordan.
Though many human rights activists have protested Israel’s construction of such walls, claiming they inhibit Palestinians’ ability to easily commute, security forces hold fast to them saying the walls have no doubt contributed to the significant decrease in suicide bombings and other attacks in areas where the wall has been completed.

Love of the Truth - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Love of the Truth

Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-10 (NKJV)

In a classic quote many of you have heard spoken on the big screen, from over 20 years ago in the movie, A Few Good Men (1992), Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) responded to the fierce questioning of military lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee's (Tom Cruise) with this outburst, “You can’t handle the truth!”

Seems like it was a prophetic word recorded back then, as in today’s world truth is what many would consider is whatever you want it to be. Because the one foundational, solid, eternal Word of God has been rejected and replaced with man’s contemporary knowledge, whatever you say, whenever you say it, is now taken as the “gospel truth”, whether it is or not. Many times it is simply a lie.

As the Gospel has been watered down in many assemblies on each Sunday morning, lack of knowing the truth has left a void for anything solid on which to stand on. Therefore, as the tide rolls in and rolls out, as public opinion goes, so does the beach sand on which it flows over.

In Matthew 7:24-27 there are two foundations which Jesus describes, as He graphically reveals what will result, when each building choice is challenged. Did we build on the solid rock or sand?

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Jesus clearly states that rejection of truth, found only in His word, will result in a great fall, when the times of testing come for each person. Either from lack of knowledge or from an earlier specific choice that was made, what happens in each trial experienced will prove the existence of faith in the Son or not.
Our Lord says that each foundation will be tested. Our “house”, that which consists of our spirit, soul and body, will either stand or fall apart, based on decisions we made in the building process, to do our own thing, go the way of the world, or choose the solid truth of the Almighty God’s written Word, as found in the Bible.

Those who had chosen to love the truth will have the ability to withstand the wearing down that comes in trials. Their bedrock faith will be revealed, while even growing more, through those testing times.

Love of the truth will protect us from unrighteous deception, lying wonders, and acts of Satan. We will be able to see through the fog that others have allowed to cover them. We will be able to know what is counterfeit, and what is true. Our discernment will be sharp.

I encourage you to go deeper in your pursuit in getting to know Him Who is Faithful and Ture. Hearing Yeshua’s voice, reading His Word, receiving sound teaching, and walking in obedience will keep your heart, mind and spirit prepared to challenge the lies of the enemy that come daily.

We will especially need to know God’s biblical truth in order to resist falsehood and stand strong in these end times.

Now think on this,

Steve Martin

"It's TIME to Empower YOUR DREAMS and the DREAMS OF THE NATION" - Chris Hoff


"It's TIME to Empower YOUR DREAMS and the DREAMS OF THE NATION"
Chris Hoff, Albany, OR

Note: This is a repost from a previous post with an added VIDEO IMAGE to CLICK ON for more info on this new project by Chris Hoff.

Divine Dreams of Building and Modern Technology

I was given a series of 3 dreams over a 3-night period. In the first dream, I had I was standing in a glass house on the edge of a cliff overlooking a large canyon with land on the other side. There was an older man standing next to me who was a contractor by trade. In the dream I knew that we were supposed to build a bridge across this canyon so that people could migrate to this new territory and develop a city.

I looked at the gentleman next to me and asked him if anyone had ever tried building a bridge before. He replied, "Yes, on many occasions, but the ground has always been too hard for us to break through in order to create a strong foundation for construction." I asked him to show me the equipment they had been using and, to my surprise, he said, "Just this pick axe."

I was shocked! I asked him if he was serious. There was no response, only a look of confusion as if he knew of no other way to work, but through brute force. I began to educate him on the need for modern technology and the need to upgrade their equipment to work smarter instead of harder. I pulled out my cell phone and began making a few calls to bring in heavy machinery to do this work. (Photo via Pixabay)

The next night I had another dream. My wife and I were sitting in the back seat of my dad's old station wagon we used to get around in as a kid. As my dad was getting into the driver's seat, he handed me a number of gifts, and when I asked what these were for he told me I was to distribute them accordingly.

Immediately, I noticed my grandmother sitting in the passenger's seat of the car. At that moment she turned around and handed me an envelope with $5,000 in it and explained to me that this was my inheritance and it was time for me to manage it. I turned behind me and saw my younger brother sitting in the furthest back seat, and as I began to hand him one of these gifts my father had given me, I woke up.

The third night I had this last dream where I was walking into a large three-story circular sanctuary. The place was packed with many people on every level. I looked across the sanctuary from where I had entered and noticed a family from my childhood seated on the first level. As I approached them, they smiled and gave me a surprising look of confusion. They asked me what I was doing. Taken back, I said, "What do you mean?" The mother responded, saying, "We've all gathered in this place to hear you share your heart." I didn't understand, but reluctantly stepped out onto the empty stage and the dream changed.

Immediately, I was standing over a nuclear reactor and was dressed in white protective hazard clothing to protect me from the elements. There were two other nuclear scientists standing on either side of this reactor operating a piece of machinery that was mining through the nuclear content for something very important. As the machine recoiled from the reactor, it pulled out a large black box. 

The scientists brought it over to me, and as I began to open it I had this feeling come over me that this was something of the highest importance for people all over the country, and then I woke up.

Interpretation: Church Reformation – Look Beyond Ourselves and Join Together

As I prayed over these dreams it became apparent that God was speaking to me. I've never had three dreams over consecutive nights like this before. God had my complete attention. The Lord was showing me from this first dream that as I was standing inside a glass house, we must live from a place of transparency where we can both see outward and inward

This is in contrast to a typical house with normal walls where you cannot see outward but can only see what's confined inside its walls. God is redirecting the aim of our focus so that we not only concentrate inwardly, but that we look to the people and world around us beyond ourselves. (Photo via Pixabay)

Now is the time a bridge is built that will make a way for people to cross over into the land of their promise where their potential can thrive. However, it's clear that this feat will not be accomplished by using the existing tool set or modes of operation that generations before us have been accustomed to using. This is because over time the scope of work in God's Kingdom has expanded and God has created advances in Kingdom technology to equip us for this work.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation is now upon the Church. Gone are the days of the pick axe where we operate independently as individuals. Now enter the season of "divine autonomation" – a synergistic partnership between the power of God and the "connected" Body of Christ. Now begins the reformation of the Church where we re-learn how to function as one person, being joined together in accordance with Ephesians 4:16, and our combined efforts are compounded exponentially.

For me, a station wagon has always been more than a mode of transportation, but a reminder of my family. I have very fond memories of travelling with by brothers, mom and dad together in our Oldsmobile station wagon. Our heavenly Father is ready to go and it's time for us to buckle up for this next ride. 

It's apparent that this next movement will now travel through the vehicle of family and shared generations. 

Even as the second dream consisted of multiple generations and extended family seated together in that station wagon, God is now moving across our country through the coming together of multi-generational family, even down to the third and fourth generations! (Photo via Pixabay)
He is gathering together people as gifts to be distributed for the empowerment of others. Each of us have been given a number of gifts – people that God has placed in our lives as He has pleased. We are to manage these gifts as His inheritance that He has given us stewardship over. It was $5,000 that was given to me in the dream, referring to the miracle of multiplication where Jesus fed the 5,000.

The people God has placed in your life are His inheritance, and as we rightly steward the relationships in our lives, there will be multiplication in the form of resources and more people. 

Today you have been commissioned to manage His inheritance faithfully unto the empowerment of one another. You have been given the 1 Corinthians 10:24 mandate to serve the well-being of others.

Empowering One Another – We Are the Answer to Someone Else's Dream!

In this third dream there were three levels to this sanctuary. God was underscoring to me again the importance of multiple generations, gathering in one place to be joined together.

Even as I had spotted a family from my childhood in this dream, God is going to begin reconnecting some of you with family from your youth that will be the very source of encouragement needed to enable you to step onto the platform of your circle of influence and operate from that place in your heart that God has made you passionate about.

If He hasn't already started doing this, I encourage you to partner with God's Word on this and seek out some of these people from your life to see what treasure you may rediscover.(Photo via Pixabay)


T.S. Elliott said, "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." The power of rediscovering the treasure of past relationships awaits you.

As I pondered the meaning behind why this dreamed changed from this sanctuary to me standing over a nuclear reactor, God reminded me of the process of how nuclear energy is created.

In short, the strongest bonds any element in the earth has are called covalent bonds, which are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. In nuclear "fission," neutrons intentionally collide with these atoms to split their bonds to create heat or energy. 

God is very intentional in this hour about bringing us together in all types of gatherings all over the country to facilitate an environment where our destinies collide with one another.

This black box brought out from the reactor in that dream was God's empowerment. It is of the highest importance that we empower one another to live to our potential if we are to engage in this movement of another great awakening.

We are the answer to someone else's dream! When we "collide" with one another, through relationship built on God's love, it produces a reaction of "splitting off" or "sending out" – meaning that we empower one another to step into the fullness of who we are meant to be. As we allow God to connect us together we will empower one another to rise to our potential. Now is the time we build a bridge into the land of God's promise. (Photo via Pixabay)

Whose building are you building? Steve Martin

I am surrounded by those whose pride is in buildings they raise, which may last maybe 70 years, if that. I am humbled by the fact that my building will last for eternity. I have learned where to focus my efforts, and Whose building I am to be building.

What we build now will be what we have when we go on from here. If it is still standing.

Steve Martin

Love For His People

Whose building are you building?

Matthew 7:24-27

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
24 “So, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on bedrock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed — and its collapse was horrendous!”
