A feature-length documentary film produced by a top adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims that the current unrest in the Middle East is a signal that the Mahdi—or Islamic messiah—is about to appear. Former Revolutionary Guards officer Reza Kahlili, who defected to the West after spying on behalf of the cia inside Iran for more than a decade, obtained a bootleg copy of this new film and turned it over to Western media sources.

Israel’s Trojan Horse

According to an EU internal document, “Israel has left Palestinian neighborhoods ever more isolated” and “by legal and practical means, is actively pursuing its annexation by systematically undermining the Palestinian presence in the city.” The report, published by top European Union officials in Israel, was sent to EU Consuls General.
The document suggests that EU observers be present during Israeli demolitions of Palestinians homes in Jerusalem. The diplomats further advise that Brussels should “ensure EU intervention when Palestinians are arrested or intimidated by Israeli authorities for peaceful cultural, social or political activities in East Jerusalem” (emphasis mine).
Other recommendations include boycotting products manufactured in Israeli factories in East Jerusalem and banning entry of violent settlers to EU countries.
Haaretz reports, “The far-ranging sharply worded recommendations in the report … reflect a dramatic, negative change in the international community’s attitude toward Israel in general, and East Jerusalem in particular. The European Union report should be viewed in the context of the news that more and more countries are inclined to recognize a Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967. … This is the context in which the report recommends that Europe should begin to treat the eastern part of the city as the capital of Palestine.”
As our regular readers know, Bible prophecy says that Jerusalem will eventually be cut in half by a Palestinian uprising (Zechariah 14:1-2). In the midst of this crisis, Israel will finally see how disastrous the “peace” process has been over the past two decades. In a desperate attempt to heal this incurable sickness, as prophesied in Hosea 5:13, Israel will turn to the German-led European Union for help.
That move, however, will result in a catastrophic double cross that ends up leaving the entire city of Jerusalem buried under a heap of ruin!
In the months and years ahead, we fully expect Europe to intensify its efforts to establish a presence in Jerusalem—and for Israel to accommodate those intentions.

Israel Passes Law to Protect Its Capital


Israel’s Knesset passed a law to prevent an Israeli government giving up East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights without a significant number of people supporting it, on November 22.
The national referendum law means that this territory can only be given away if approved by two thirds of the Knesset. If 80 out of the 120 Knesset members refuse to approve such a land giveaway, the deal must be approved by a majority of voters in a national referendum.
“The new law makes it extremely unlikely that any government can surrender any of the land covered by the law, barring a drastic shift in political leanings against the growing nationalist mood,” writes IsraelNationalNews.com.
The bill passed with 65 members of the Knesset supporting it, and 33 opposing.
The law does not cover the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria (often erroneously referred to as occupied territories in the media).
Many in Israel, including Jerusalem’s Mayor Nir Barkat, view Jerusalem as “the united, undivided capital of Israel.” The Golan is of great strategic importance to Israel’s defense, and vital for the nation’s water supply.

Israel to Retreat From Lebanon Border Village


In an effort to get the United Nations to declare it free of Lebanon border violations, Israel has agreed to withdraw Israeli forces from the northern part of a village that straddles the Israeli-Lebanese border. Israeli Security Cabinet officials voted on Wednesday to transfer the northern section of Ghajar, an Arab village, to UN control.
