Senior French socialist: Targeting Jews for Israel like targeting Muslims for ISIS  

By JTA \

 

02/11/2015

Jean-Christophe Cambadelis's mention was criticized for placing Islamic State and Israel on the same level.

A senior member of France’s Socialist party defended his assertion that Jews who are targeted because of Israel are like Muslims who are targeted over ISIS.

Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, first secretary of the republic’s ruling party, said on Twitter that he “did not compare Israel to ISIS” when, during a radio interview Sunday, he said: “I am against identifying a community with a state. We identify the Jewish community with Israel and the Muslims with Daesh. It’s the same reasoning.”

The acronym Daesh is how many in France refer to Islamic State terrorist group.

France has seen a steady rise in anti-Semitic incidents, many of which were perpetrated against French Jews by people from Muslim or Arab background as payback for Israel’s actions.

Cambadelis’ mentioning of Israel and ISIS in the same sentence drew angry reactions, including from the National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA, which in a statement on Monday accused Cambadelis of “clearly comparing” the two entities.

But Cambadelis rejected this assertion on his Twitter account, in which he wrote: “I reject the vision that sees Jews as Israel or Muslims as Daesh. And I am not comparing Israel to Daesh.”

During the radio interview, Cambadelis also reiterated the party line about the need to combat rising anti-Semitism.

The issue has received more coverage recently in French media following the slaying of four Jews on January 9 at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket near Paris. The attack was perpetrated by an Islamist who was an associate of two jihadists who two days earlier had killed 12 people at the office of the Charlie Hebdo weekly over its lampooning of Islam. All three attackers were killed in police raids.

This week, the Jewish Federations of North America sent a solidarity mission to France with leaders representing 18 communities throughout North America.

They concluded their visit by meeting with the editor-in-chief of Charlie Hebdo and the Israeli and US ambassadors to France as well as one of the women held hostage at the Hyper Cacher market and the policeman who secured her release.

Prophetic WARNING from Joel Rosenberg - with an eerily accurate track record. - Dr. Lance Wallnau

Prophetic WARNING from a man with an eerily accurate track record.

February 10, 2015 by Dr. Lance Wallnau 

Prophetic WARNING
from a man with an eerily accurate track record.

Joel C. Rosenberg now lives in Israel and writes from his bomb shelter basement. His first book “The Last Jihad” blew people away and became an 11-week New York Times Best Seller. He wrote it to warn Americans about the danger of radical Islam, thinking he was four or five years ahead of the threat. He was shocked that 9-11 happened as fast as it did the way it did.

He is worried the same scenario is about to happen now with ISIS.

JORDAN IS OUR FRIEND!
Rosenberg says: “I am deeply concerned that ISIS is plotting major attacks not only against the U.S. and Israel, but also Jordan and other Arab allies in the Middle East.”

ISIS burned alive the Jordanian fighter pilot it was holding captive in a cage. Then released a 22-minute video of this savage act for the world to see.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II — denounced as “an ally of the crusaders” by ISIS terrorists in the video — was in Washington meeting with leaders many of whom attended the National Prayer Breakfast, where the President made his comments condemning ISIS followed by comments connecting American Christians and the CRUSADES!

Joel's current research involves two former CIA directors, one a Democrat and the other a Republican. Jim Woolsey, served with President Clinton, and Porter Goss was the CIA director under George W. Bush.

WHAT WORRIES THE C.I.A.?
Asking them, “What keeps you up at night? I’m writing a new series, I need a new enemy. I want to write about something that’s say, four or five years out, but something that’s emerging that you think people should know about.”

They both said, “You’ve got to watch Al-Qaeda in Iraq. They’re morphing into something different. It looks more dangerous to us, and we think they’re going to be a huge problem, in Syria and Iraq.”

They were predicting ISIS and they were not alone. Two Defense Secretaries saw the threat also and told the White House.

OBAMA THOUGHT HE KNEW MORE THAN TWO DEFENSE SECRETARIES
Former Defense Secretaries, Bob Gates and Leon Panetta both warned the President NOT TO WITHDRAW all U.S. forces from Iraq – that Iraq’s government was not ready for this and that radical Islam would storm into the vacuum created by American withdrawal.

This historic blunder has received a free pass from the media.

Why this mental fog over the Oval Office?

AMERICANS SEE A SERIOUS ATTACK COMING
The extent to which the White House labors under a spell in regard to Islamic extremism is alarming. The disconnection between the Oval Office and America over this subject cuts across party lines. The entire country knows something dangerous is occurring. A recent McLaughlin poll indicates:

• 74 percent of Americans fear ISIS is going to launch a catastrophic terror attack in the U.S.
• 73 percent believe ISIS would perform genocidal acts against Israel if given the chance.
• 65 percent of Americans fear that ISIS will try to overthrow the King of Jordan – an important moderate ally – and then form a base inside Jordan they will launch attacks against Israel and the United States.

Most Americans care little about Jordan, yet they see the situation more clearly than Washington.

Rosenberg went to Israel and interviewed the former head of Israeli security, Mossad, and asked the same questions. He gave the SAME answer.

He then went to Jordan and gathered feedback from the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Interior Minister and a Prince who is a senor advisor to the King. While talking to the Interior Minister he was asked, “Is this going to be like a Tom Clancy novel?” Joel said, “Well I hope so.” The Minister replied, “Good. Sit down and get your notebook out. Lets go on record. I want to give you this information because the King has appointed me to make sure your scenario never happens, at least not in our country.”

WHAT KEEPS JOEL UP AT NIGHT?
Ask Joel Rosenberg what keeps him up at night? He answers, “I thought ISIS was a threat we would face in four or five years, it’s coming up much faster than I anticipated.”

This is exactly what he said before 9-11.

HISTORIC ALLIANCE FORMING NOW!
While media sleeps, and the President rolls over in bed on the WRONG side of the issue, a historic event is unfolding before our eyes…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of ISRAEL, King Adullah in JORDAN and President el-Sisi in EGYPT have formed a historic GRAND ALLIANCE against radical Islam. The most historic POSITIVE geopolitical Middle East development in recent history and American leadership is on the wrong side and media are yawning.

Welcome to the strange new chapter of emerging Sheep and Goat nations. While some strange mental fog disorients American leaders, the leaders in Egypt, Jordan and Israel are moving in unity and clarity against the devil and toward the status of Sheep Nations!

STRATEGY.
With you on your watch praying for these 3 leaders we will see the plans of the enemy thwarted.
1.) Pray for King Adullah and unity in Jordan.
2.) Pray for Netanyahu’s election in March (the White House wants him out).
3.) Pray that something happens to cause Iran to shift with regard to its nuclear agenda and President Obama will have and heed wise counsel from John Kerry.
4.) Pray for a revived prayer movement and clear headed American leaders to emerge.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE GROUND!

I Will Not Sell My Soul for 'Success' - Dr. Michael Brown

I Will Not Sell My Soul for 'Success'

2/10/2015 MICHAEL BROWN  CHARISMA NEWS

Dr. Michael Brown

I absolutely believe in the glorious, overwhelming success of the gospel, but I will not sell my soul or compromise my convictions for the sake of carnal "success."

I encourage you to stand strong in your resolve as well. It's better to be scorned by this world than to lose your integrity.

Recently, a young pastor wrote to me with a heavy heart.

He had been invited to a closed leadership meeting, with many well-known pastors in attendance. He explained to me that they talked openly about not using entire verses or passages from the Bible in their sermons and that it was fine to pull snippets of verses and to build entire messages from them, as if too much of the Word would drive people away.

He said that they instructed the leaders in attendance not to speak on sin, judgment, conviction, obedience, morality, etc., stating that it is not our job to convict of sin, only the Holy Spirit's job, as if the hundreds of verses in the Bible dealing with these issues were irrelevant, and as if they knew better than Jesus and the apostles, who often preached with words of deep, biting conviction as they labored together with the Holy Spirit.

And of course, he wrote, they told the other leaders to avoid politics and political issues, which is similar to the mindset of those who chose not to get involved in the divisive slave-trade controversy in centuries past or to oppose the Nazis last century.

This, they said, was the path to follow if you wanted to be "successful."

I categorically reject such a definition of "success."

It has nothing to do with the true success of the gospel, which I love and revel in before God.

To be absolutely clear, and so that no one thinks that this is a matter of "sour grapes," I am not speaking about any particular ministry and I have no idea which pastors and leaders were at this meeting. I love and embrace the expansive blessing of God.

By God's grace, I have had the privilege of preaching in some of the largest and most influential megachurches in the world, and their growth was the result of the work of the Spirit in their midst, not the result of carnal techniques.

One of our ministry school grads, Daniel Kolenda, has taken over the leadership of Reinhard Bonnke's Christ for All Nations, and Daniel regularly preaches to crowds of multiplied hundreds of thousands. Praise God for Spirit-anointed, Jesus-exalting, Word-based success!

When God opens new doors for our ministry on radio and TV, in print and online, or when He blesses our material with greater circulation and impact, I rejoice and take this as an answer to prayer, as providing another avenue to advance the work of the kingdom. Onward and upward in Jesus' name!

So I am all for growth and numbers and prosperity when it comes from heaven as a gift from God, although I know that often, the most significant gospel work is totally hidden and obscure, taking place behind closed doors, with God using unknown saints who live in the midst of persecution and poverty. Their lasting fruit will put most of us to shame.

That's one reason Jesus said that many who are first will be last and many who are last will be first.

Remember, it was the church of Laodicea that Jesus rebuked saying, "For you say, 'I am rich, and have stored up goods, and have need of nothing,' yet do not realize that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked" (Rev. 3:17).

In stark contrast, He said to Smyrna, "I know your works and tribulation and poverty (but you are rich). And I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Rev. 2:9-10).

In the same way, He rebuked Sardis, which had a reputation for being alive but was dead (see Rev. 3:1) and commended Philadelphia, which had little strength but had not denied His name (see Rev. 3:8).

What would our worldly minded leaders have told these congregations? And how would they have rated the "success" of these different churches? Obviously, their perspective would be a lot different than the perspective of the Lord.

Without a doubt, we have different callings and emphases, and while we should all do our best to be faithful to God's Word and "balanced," it's clear that one may be called to emphasize evangelism, another social justice, another holiness, another grace, another family and another the Spirit, just to mention a few. Some congregations excel in administration and management, while others excel in building community, and still others excel in sending out missionaries.

That's what makes the body of Christ a truly functioning body.

Let us learn from each other however we can, and let us complement each other in the work of the ministry, honoring one another as colleagues rather than criticizing each other as competitors.

But let us not deviate from the high calling of God, let us not form a theology that bypasses the cross, let us not water down the Word, and let us not mistake earthly growth and "success" for the blessing of God.

In the words of Charles Spurgeon, one of the most truly successful gospel preachers of all time, "Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity."

Don't sacrifice your soul on that very seductive altar.

Netanyahu: Israel in 'Profound Disagreement' With Obama Admin

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday released a statement explaining that he intends to go ahead with a contentious address to the US Senate on March 3 in order to dissuade the Obama Administration from negotiating with Iran a nuclear agreement that would endanger the Jewish state.

“I am going to the United States not because I seek a confrontation with the President, but because I must fulfill my obligation to speak up on a matter that affects the very survival of my country,” said Netanyahu.

The Obama Administration has been irate over Netanyahu’s scheduled speech, and a number of top Democrats, including Vice President Joe Biden, have announced they will not be present for the Israeli leader’s appearance.

But many in Israel, Netanyahu among them, have suggested that it is Israelis who should be upset over the Obama Administration’s handling of the Iran nuclear crisis, which first and foremost threatens the Jewish state.

“…we do have today a profound disagreement with the United States administration and the rest of the P5+1 over the offer that has been made to Iran,” Netanyahu noted. “This offer would enable Iran to threaten Israel’s survival. …It would be able, under this deal, to break out to a nuclear weapon in a short time, and within a few years, to have the industrial capability to produce many nuclear bombs for the goal of our destruction.”

Netanyahu further pointed out that it was not unusual for Israeli and American leaders to disagree, and took aim at those who warn the current disagreements could harm, rather than ultimately strengthen, bilateral relations. Some of those issuing such warnings are to be found within the Obama Administration itself.

“Disagreements over Israel’s security have occurred between prime ministers in Israel from the left and from the right and American presidents from both parties,” the Israeli leader said. “None of these disagreements led to a rupture in the relationship between Israel and the United States. In fact, over time, our relationship grew stronger.”

Astonishing 1968 Prophecy by 90-Year-Old Woman

2/10/2015 BERT FARIAS   charisma news

(File)

An old woman of 90 from Valdres in Norway had a vision from God in 1968. The evangelist Emanuel Minos had meetings (services) where she lived. He had the opportunity to meet her, and she told him what she had seen. He wrote it down, but thought it to be so unintelligible that he put it in a drawer. Now, almost 30 years later, he understands he has to share the vision with others.

The woman from Valdres was a very alert, reliable, awake and credible Christian, with a good reputation among all who knew her. This is what she saw:

"I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World War. I saw the events with my natural eyes. I saw the world like a kind of a globe and saw Europe, land by land. I saw Scandinavia. I saw Norway. I saw certain things that would take place just before the return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity happens, a calamity the likes of which we have never before experienced.

She mentioned four waves:

1. "First before Jesus comes and before the Third World War breaks out, there will be a 'détente' like we have never had before. There will be peace between the super powers in the east and the west, and there will be a long peace. (Remember, that this was in 1968 when the cold war was at its highest. —E. Minos) In this period of peace there will be disarmament in many countries, also in Norway and we are not prepared when it (the war) comes. The Third World War will begin in a way no one would have anticipated—and from an unexpected place.

2. "A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold of the Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. Christians will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance and restoration. There will come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness) Christianity.

"The important thing will be to have success, to be something; to have material things, things that God never promised us in this way. Churches and prayer houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead of the preaching we have been used to for generations—like, to take your cross up and follow Jesus—entertainment, art and culture will invade the churches where there should have been gatherings for repentance and revival. This will increase markedly just before the return of Jesus.

3. "There will be a moral disintegration that old Norway has never experienced the likes of. People will live together like married without being married. (I do not believe the concept 'co-habitor'? existed in 1968. —E. Minos.) Much uncleanness before marriage, and much infidelity in marriage will become the natural (the common), and it will be justified from every angle. It will even enter Christian circles and we pet it—even sin against nature. Just before Jesus' return there will be TV programs like we have never experienced. (TV had just arrived in Norway in 1968. —E. Minos)

"TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder and destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our streets. People will copy what they see. There will not be only one 'station' on TV, it will be filled with 'stations.' (She did not know the word 'channel' which we use today. Therefore she called them stations. —E. Minos.) TV will be just like the radio where we have many 'stations,' and it will be filled with violence. People will use it for entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of murder and destruction one of the other, and this will spread in society. Sex scenes will also be shown on the screen, the most intimate things that takes place in a marriage." (I protested and said, "We have a paragraph that forbids this kind of thing." —E. Minos.) It will happen, and you will see it. All we have had before will be broken down, and the most indecent things will pass before our eyes.

4. "People from poor countries will stream to Europe. (In 1968 there was no such thing as immigration. —E. Minos.) They will also come to Scandinavia and Norway. There will be so many of them that people will begin to dislike them and become hard with them. They will be treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of our sins will have been reached (I protested at the issue of immigration. I did not understand it at the time. —E. Minos.)

The tears streamed from the old woman's eyes down her cheeks. "I will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war." (She saw it in the vision.)

"All that I have seen of war before is only child's play compared to this one, and it will be ended with a nuclear atom bomb. The air will be so polluted that one cannot draw one's breath. It will cover several continents, America, Japan, Australia and the wealthy nations. The water will be ruined (contaminated?). We can no longer till the soil. The result will be that only a remnant will remain. The remnant in the wealthy countries will try to flee to the poor countries, but they will be as hard on us as we were on them.

"I am so glad that I will not see it, but when the time draws near, you must take courage and tell this. I have received it from God, and nothing of it goes against what the Bible tells.

"The one who has his sin forgiven and has Jesus as Savior and Lord, is safe."
