<p>“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on account of Me.” Matt. 5:10, 11.

<p>“Palestine” is a fantasy-land. That is why we head this category “Palestine?” “Palestinians” are simply Arabs like Jordanians, Syrians, etc. In 2006, the &#8220;Palestinians&#8221; voted into power, as their leaders, the violent terror group known as Hamas. They ousted the slightly more moderate group Fatah, currently headed by Mahmoud Abbas. But how much more moderate is Fatah? Abbas earned his PhD with a paper on the fiction of the Holocaust. Neither side will recognize Israel&#8217;s existence, yet the Western world insists Israel make &#8220;peace&#8221; with both parties. &#8220;Palestine&#8221; and the &#8220;Palestinian&#8221; cause only came about in the mid 1960s when Yaser Arafat put the movement on the map.</p>

<p>Daniel 11:5 says that the “King of the South”, the Arabs, “will grow strong.” They have since the term “petrol politics” became so important. The Bible said that the Arab’s “hand would be against everyone” and that he would be as a “wild donkey” (Gen. 16:12). But God promised to multiply the descendents of the Arabs (Genesis 16:10), and bless them. He planted their tents on the oil wells of the earth! But the 22 nations surrounding Israel are determined to exterminate her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the West, the &#8220;Arab Spring&#8221; has been hailed as the rise of  democracy and personal freedom in the Arab Middle East. But in reality,  the Arab Spring has given rise to the kind of Islamist forces that  seized power in Iran&#8217;s ostensibly pro-democracy movement in 1979.</p>
<p>Israel&#8217;s deputy prime minister and former army chief, Moshe Ya&#8217;alon,  told reporters last month that the problem is Western powers  instinctively promote and support pro-democracy movements as though  elections alone will give birth to democratic freedoms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A simple explanation of the facts can go a long way to identify whose version of the “truth” is accurate.</p>
<p>When it comes to the Arab narrative and the name “Palestine,” and “Palestinians,” there’s more than enough “truth” that can be proven to be untrue. For example, if you ask what and where is “Palestine,” virtually every enemy of Israel, including Mahmoud Abbas, will tell you it includes the entire land area which the rest of the world calls Israel.</p>

We will help you do so by keeping our eyes on the signs of the times and reporting them to you. Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of the times in His day.

<p>Towards the end of the age society is to decline in morals, values, etc. There will be a huge rise in immorality, hedonism, humanism, situation ethics, and more. Men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, brutal, disobedient to parents, etc. See Matthew 24, II Timothy 3, Jude 18, and II Peter 3. Love will grow cold. Family values will be mocked. Entertainment will be perverse even for children. It will be “as the days of Noah.” And that describes the 21st Century.</p>
