The Neturei Karta International
And these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace...(Daniel 3:19-21).
Dear Rabbi Weiss,
I pray that you will take the time to give this letter your serious consideration, particularly in light of the things (these age-ending events), that are presently unfolding in the Middle East. I saw several members of the Neturei Karta in Washington D.C. at the April 20th gathering in support of the Palestinian cause. I wanted to speak to them but they seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Perhaps you were among them. The verses came to mind...
He that keepeth the Fig Tree shall eat the fruit thereof, and he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured...(Proverbs 27:18).
Blessed art thou O land when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season for strength and not drunkenness...(Ecclesiastes 10:7).
...and from the Christian perspective, others that said:
No man having drunk old wine straightaway desireth new, for he saith the old is better...(Luke 5:39).
As concerning the gospel they are enemies for thy sake, but as touching the election they are beloved for the Father's sake...(Romans 11:28).
Please don't let all these past centuries of division and animosity between Judaism and Christianity govern your reactions here. (There is very little time left for such divisions). Christianity has only distant, and scattered recollections of the (purely kabbalistic) meanings of its own sacred writings (its own midrashim). The key to understanding them (in part), ironically passed over to the Lunar side of the Mystery (to the Jewish side of the Oracle), with all of those other Kabbalistic doctrines that were secretly sewn into the Judaic mainstream after the birth of Christianity by those Jewish Essenes in the first centuries of this common era. And Judaism, in turn, was not going to interpret these oracles in favor of Christianity (at least not that form of Christianity that forced itself upon the world from the third century on), nor could it. Normative Judaism as we have come to know it, was charged in those times with building a fence or a hedge around the Written Torah, and those who were charged with building it were also instructed to get inside that fence themselves. They were instructed to stay inside until ordered to come out in the Day of the Lord. And as such the deed was accomplished. G-d had wrapped up the entire mystery--As the words of a book that is sealed--and kept it from the eyes of the whole world...
Woe if I shall reveal it! Woe if I shall not reveal it, lamented Reb Schimeon in the pages of the Zohar. The implications of it all shall now shake the foundations of Judaism as well as Christianity. It was kept from both.
JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY, THE MOON AND THE SUN.
He appointed the Moon for seasons, and the Sun knoweth his (own) going down...(Psalm 104:19).
The Highest gave understanding unto the Five men, and they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that were told, which they knew not: and they sat Forty days, and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread...
In Forty days they wrote two hundred and forty books.
And it came to pass, when the Forty days were fulfilled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy (alike) may read it:
But keep the Seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people:
For in them is the spring of Understanding (Binah), the fountain of Wisdom (Hokhmah), and the stream of Knowledge (Daat)...(2 Esdras 14:42-48; Revelation, chapter 5. KJV).
We can see now that something great and momentous is about to happen in the earth, a great synchronization--a revelation as it is. It is time to Open the Books. And as we do the anointed ones will be manifest. (Zechariah, chapter 4). The Messiahs of DVD shall appear from the Non-Zionist, Jewish side of the Tree of Life--the side of Judah, as it is written:
And he said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt: AND THE FORM OF THE FOURTH IS LIKE THE SON OF GOD...(Daniel 3:25).
__________
And Isaac said, run, and lay hold on them, each according to his strength. And to him that seizeth will the Sun and Moon belong. And Levi laid hold of the Sun, and Judah seized the Moon...(Testaments of Naphtali 2:1-4; and of Levi 2:5).
And now my children obey Levi and Judah, and be not lifted up against these two tribes. For from them shall arise unto you the salvation of God. For the Lord shall raise from Levi as it were, a high priest, and from Judah, as it were, a king, God and man, and he shall save all the Gentiles and the race of Israel...(Testament of Simeon 3:10).
Moreover (in that day) the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun, and the light of the Sun shall be Sevenfold as the light of Seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound...(Isaiah 30:26).
Of course you know the story of Jonah. When the preacher is finally let out on dry land, lo and behold he finds himself here at the Western ends of the earth, and at the end of the age...
Matthew 12:39-41; Mth. 16:1-4.
(There are other dimensions and there are higher worlds, as you well know, than the ones we can observe and experience with our physical senses). Jonah finds everyone in this world (this lowest world), going about their own political, economic and religious affairs, and participating in all the turmoil of the times, completely bewildered and completely unmindful of the prophetic signs and spiritual realities that are unfolding everywhere around them. Like the Torah itself, this world and these realities are like a great historical puzzle, whose every single piece must be fit back together in order to get a clear picture of the whole. Of course he is not alone in his perceptions or in this work. Thousands of others are being awakened to the same realities and are working on the same puzzle.
As you recall the story in The Chapters of Rabbi Eliezer, Jonah has seen the Red Sea, through which the children of Israel have passed. He has also encountered the Behemoth and the Leviathan. And now he is back in Nineveh, the great city. We are also told that he descended to Sheol. Believe me, Sheol and Nineveh are the same place. How is it written?
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundation of the mountains...(Deuteronomy 32:22).
These words have already begun to come to pass, and the final events--the final judgment wars of this age--have already been ignited and are underway in the earth (Joel 3:9-14). Nevertheless, it is also written: Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He revealeth His secret to His servants...(Amos 3:6,7).
One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad...(Jeremiah 24:2).
Now why do we cry aloud? Is there no king among us? Is our counsellor perished? for pangs have taken hold of us as a woman in travail.
Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, AND THOU SHALT GO EVEN TO BABYLON, AND THERE SHALT THOU BE DELIVERED; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies...(Micah 4:9,10).
That evening in Washington I stayed with a friend at the house of Harvey and Lorraine Arden. Harvey wrote that wonderful National Geographic article on the Satmar Hasidim, back before the passing of the Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum in 1979. That article, along with growing up right next to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, has had a direct effect on this work, and on all the images running around in my thoughts since then--the work and the images that I hope you will make an earnest effort to consider (which, of course, you will be compelled to in the end. I pray that it will be sooner than later).
I would like you to consider the visage of the Leviathan. Please, do not have an intellectual reaction. Open your spiritual eyes and see it. You know full well that all of the prophets spoke of the day when this great creature would emerge from the sea--when it would rise up out of the consciousness of the planet onto the plain of human consciousness. That day has already come. Please see how the continent of Europe is the head of this Dragon, and how its immense jaws are wide open toward the Mediterranean Sea. Italy is the tongue protruding from the Dragon's opened mouth. Scandanavia and Asia-minor are its right and left limbs. And of course all of Asia is the body of this great creature, whose powerful tail has already shaken three times over the course of the wars of the 20th century...
The Leviathan...(Job 41; Psalm 74:12-14; Isaiah 27 to 29).
Behold ye among the heathen, and wonder, and regard marvelously, for I will work a work in your days that you will not believe, though a man declare it unto you...(Habakkuk 1:5).
For, behold, the days come, and it shall be when the signs which I have foretold you come to pass, then shall the city which is invisible appear and the land which is concealed be seen, and whosoever is delivered from the predicted evils shall see my wonders...(4 Ezra 7:26,27).
Once you have resigned yourself to the reality of the Dragon's existence all the other pieces of the world-mystery begin to fit neatly into place. Among those pieces is the realization that the City of David (the focus of all religious contemplation in the Western world--the focus of the Crusades of the middle ages, and the focus of the Zionist movement in the 20th century), is not, nor has it ever been situated in the land of Palestine as the Western world has been led to believe, but it has always been hidden right there in the center of Europe under the present-day city of Vienna, Austria.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the City of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the Sides of the North, the city of the Great King...(Psalm 48:1,2).
The stone which the builders rejected is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes...(Psalm 118:22,23).
Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed among my treasures?...(Deuteronomy 32:34).
This is the treasure that the great Dragon has been guarding all these centuries. It is also the historical reality those Merkabah mystics (those Essenes and Pharisees, as well as Gentile believers, who layed the foundation of the Christian mysteries) concealed from the world at the beginning of this common era. They were bound by pact and association to keep it secret, so that all the elements of Darkness would reveal themselves in the last days (in both Israel and America). Nevertheless, they wrote: For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Hebrews 13:14):
The Dragon cult reached its peak during the days of the Roman Empire and disappeared with the advent of Christianity. Gradually the concept of the Mother Goddess (see Galatians 4:26), often in Serpent form, was replaced by a Father figure who was distinctly anti-dragon. Well before the time of Christianity, when dragons were still common in Northern Europe, they began to compete with primitive man for caves to live in. One type of caveman who inhabited the Neanderthal Valley, had a particular mystical association with dragons…THEY REFERRED TO THEIR LEADER AS THE GREAT DRAGON, and every spring they gathered on hillsides and made great bonfires to imitate dragon fires.
As far back as the seventh and eighth centuries A.D., the dragon was believed to be a hoarder of Great Treasure, as is indicated in the Old English epic of Beowulf. In many cultures, as mentioned earlier, European dragons were believed to carry a magical Stone imbedded in their foreheads…Dragons and Unicorns, A Natural History, by Paul and Karin Johnsgard.

The sages of Israel relate: The Almighty created the world in the same manner as a child is formed in its mother's womb. Just as the child begins to grow from its Navel and then develops in full form, so the world began from its central point and developed in all directions (towards the West and towards the East).
The Navel of the world is Jerusalem and its core is the great altar in the Holy Temple...
Within old Jerusalem rises Mount Moriah, upon which stood the Holy Temple...the shrine of the people of Israel. On the summit lies a Big Rock, the Foundation Stone, because the world was founded on it. For Isaiah says: Thus saith the Lord God: behold, I lay in Zion for a Foundation a Stone. The Legends of Jerusalem.
There are two sides to the Tree of Life, a Solar side and a Lunar side. The Solar, or lower side of the Oracle, is Christianity. The Lunar, or upper side of the Oracle, is Judaism. Hidden between them is the ancient whereabouts of the Holy City--The City Above, the Mother of us all. (Galatians 4:21-26).
FOR NO OTHER FOUNDATION CAN BE LAID...(1 Corinthians 3:11-17).
It is also found in the records, that Jeremiah the prophet commanded them that were carried away (to Babylon) to take of the fire, as it had been signified: And how that prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandment of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold...
It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up and saw the heritage of God.
And when Jeremiah came hither, he found a hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door. And some of them that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it. Which when Jeremiah perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather His people again together, and receive them unto mercy.
Then shall the Lord show them these things, and the Glory of the Lord shall appear, and the Cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sancified.
We hope also that the God that delivered all His people, and gave them all an heritage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary, as He promised in the Law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place; for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place...(2 Maccabees 2:1-18, KJV).
When the mind of Israel came up out of Egypt in the time of Moses (following the pathway of the Great Solar/Lunar Mystery which would lead at last to the ends of the earth and the fulness of time), it came a figurative Three day's journey to the place where Jerusalem as we know it now is. (Exodus 3:18; 5:3). It was there in Palestine that Moses built the city that now exists (as an image in stone-below of the true, Higher City that God would build above), and it was afterwards, up in Europe, that the prophets and scribes of Israel penned the epic story that is now unfolding in the earth (and where they continued to build upon the foundation of the true Temple that was laid by Moses centuries earlier in the time of Jehoshua:
The Tabernacle of the Sun...(Psalm 19:1-6).
As for the present-day city of Jerusalem in the Middle East:
"Moses, namely, one of the Egyptian priests, held part of lower Egypt, as it is called, but he went away from there to Judaea, since he was displeased with the state of affairs there, and was accompanied by many people who worshipped the Divine Being...
Now Moses...persuaded not a few thoughtful men and led them away to this place where the settlement of Jerusalem now is; and he easily took possession of the place, since it was not a place that would be looked upon with envy, nor yet one for which anyone would make a serious fight; for it is rocky, and although it itself is well supplied with water, its surrounding territory is barren and waterless.
At that time Moses, instead of using arms, put forward as defence his sacrifices and his Divine Being, being resolved to seek a seat of worship for Him and promising to deliver to the people a kind of worship and ritual that would that would not oppress those who adopted them either with expenses or with divine obsessions or with other absurd troubles...His successors for some time abided in the same course, acting righteously and being truly pious toward God; but afterward, in the first place superstitious men were appointed to the priesthood, and then tyrannical people; and from superstition arose abstinence from flesh; from which it is their present custom, and circumcisions and excisions. And from tyrannies arose bands of robbers; for some revolted and harassed the country, both their own and that of neighbors...But still they had respect for their acropolis, since they did not loath it as a seat of tyranny, but honored and revered it as a holy place." Strabo's Geography 16.2.35-37.
The next phase of this epic drama occurred when the mysteries of Israel (the fabled ten and a half tribes) accompanied the spirit of Jehoshua (the foretype of the Christian mysteries to come) across the Jordan River. It was not that metaphor of a river that presently separates the nation of Jordan from the Zionist state of Israel that they crossed, but the Higher Jordan (the Mystical Jordan), which in those ancient times led up out of the East into Europe; and then in time, across the Sea to America. The Higher Jordan is a spiritual river whose waters separate the higher mind from the lower, and the true Universal Israel from the rest of the nations of the earth. Now remember ye the law of Moses my servant...(Malachi 4:4):
THE GOING FORTH
"The myth was common to a number of schools, but Hippolytus ascribes it to an otherwise unknown school called the Peratae, supposed to mean Transcendentalists, or those who by means of Gnosis had 'passed beyond' or 'crossed over.' Thus they explained the Exodus-myth...Egypt is the body; all those who identify themselves with the body are the ignorant, the Egyptians. To come forth out of Egypt is (ultimately) to leave the body; and to pass through the Red Sea is to cross over the ocean of generation, the animal and sensual nature, which is hidden within the blood. Yet even then they are not safe; crossing the Red Sea they enter the Desert (the wilderness of the nations), the intermediate state of the doubting lower mind. There they are attacked by the 'gods of destruction,' which Moses called 'the serpents of the desert,' and which plague those who seek to escape from 'the gods of generation.' To them Moses, the teacher, shows the true serpent crucified on the cross of matter (Numbers 21:7-9), and by its means they escape from the Desert and enter the promised Land, the realm of the spiritual mind, where there is the Heavenly Jordan, the World-soul. When the Waters of Jordan flow downwards, then is the generation of men; but when they flow upwards, then is the generation of the gods. (Joshua) was one who caused the Waters of Jordan to flow upwards." Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, A Selection From the Writings of the Gnostic Ophites, by G.R.S. Mead.

"Moses (whose presence is with the children of Israel throughout all their journeys in the wilderness) now begins to shepherd the flocks of Jethro. (Jethro, the priest of MID-ian is a composite figure of the ancient Druid order, whose central mysteries not only informed the mind of Israel but which were identical with it)...The flocks which represent the thoughts and commands of the bad shepherd have to be put in order by Moses, led into justice. His relation to Jethro is indeed like Jacob's to Laban, but is much better a type of the way the Good Shepherd will come in and shepherd our flock. The allegory is an extended one of the divine power of salvation, and the divine care God exercises for those who come to Him...
With his vision thus clarified, and with the practical assistance of Aaron, Moses now goes to Egypt to begin his great work. He returns to Pharaoh to struggle with him and ultimately destroy him. Pharaoh represents all that is bad in human nature, a lover of pleasure who knows not God. He is one who rejects both parents (not his earthly parents, but his Heavenly Father and Divine Mother...Proverbs 6:20), divine and human restraint, and hence, with Egypt his country, represents the body in its worst form.
Captive in this country is the mind 'fond of seeing,' Israel, which at this stage is rather the mind 'capable of seeing.' This mind must be led out of Egypt if it is to get the vision, and it is Moses, who with Aaron, has the power to do this for man's higher nature. The salvation he brings the Israelites is one 'where the helping principle of its own accord comes wholly from the outside to shield us after our faculties have been quite destroyed.'
As the people are thus united in one great collective act of migration they are made one; from being a multitude, or a tribe, or a people, they become an 'ecclesia,' a church, united not so much in body as in mind, intent, and spirit. The Passover is held at Evening because of the usual significance of evening, the time of the fading of material light at the coming of immaterial illumination.
In another passage Pharaoh is king of the lower bodily mind in revolt against God. Not only is the mind engrossed in the complicated structure of pleasure, but it takes the higher mind with its possibilities of Vision and enslaves it. The higher mind groans heavily at this subjection and cries to God the only Saviour. In answer God commands, 'Send forth the people that they may serve me.' The type of service to which He calls them is not a menial one; it consists of going up to the aetherial heights with their reasonings, setting them before Moses, the type of existence beloved of God, to lead them on their way." By Light, Light, The Mystery in Non-Philonic Writings, pp.199-205.
Of course you are well aware that it is Joshua, and not Moses, who leads the people over into the promise. The Letter of the Law has not the power to perform it, but in the Spirit of the Law we may proceed. Thus the words:
And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables off stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written: that thou mayest teach them.
And Moses went up. AND HIS MINISTER JOSHUA: (thus the historic framework for Paul's interpretation of the Torah): and Moses went up into the mount of God...(Exodus 24:12,13)...
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the Two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides, on the one side and on the other side were they written.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables...(Exodus 32:15,16).
And this man shall be the peace when the Assyrian shall come into our land (into our state of mind), and when he shall tread in our palaces. Then shall we raise against him SEVEN shepherd and EIGHT principle men...(Micah 5:5).
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see Eye to Eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion...(Isaiah 52:8).
May I respectfully point out that the following recent petition addressed to the White House and the Honorable George W. Bush (in response to the present unfolding crises in the Middle East, and the growing animosity throughout the world against Judaism), was sent because, in your faithfulness to the written, or literal Torah, you are not yet aware of the epic dimensions or the deepest meanings of the Torah itself. (Levi shall instruct Judah). You are not yet aware of the relationship that exists between Judaism and Christianity (the Moon and the Sun--Judah and Levi), and therefore of the ways that Christianity is coming to its conclusions in our time with the manifestation of the antichrists here at these Western ends of the earth (2 Thessalonians 2...KJV). You are--blessedly but--naively unaware of the spiritual relationship (the Dark-symmetry) that exists between the Bush administration in the West and the present government in Israel in the east. Both are Zionist states, both are attempting to build up Zion with iniquity, and Jerusalem with blood. And whereas the state of Israel cannot speak on behalf of the Jewish people, neither does Rome (in the past), nor America (in the present) represent the teachings of Christ in the world:
TORAH TRUE JEWS, INC.
September 21, 2003
DEAR HONORABLE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
We are writing to you because of your deep and abiding interest in the suffering of the peoples of the Middle East and your desire to finally bring an end to all the bloodshed and violence there. We pray for peace and brotherhood.
However, we would like to respectfully bring to your attention that although you are aware that there are many Jews who support the State of Israel, what you may not have heard about is that there is a silent majority of Jews opposed to Zionism who remain ignored by the media, and who remain steadfast in loyalty to the teachings of our rabbis that the ideology of Zionism is in utter opposition to our religion. For more information there are a number of websites on the Internet that discuss this subject, e.g. www.jewsagainstzionism.com. which we know you will find most interesting as it includes historical documents and photographs related to the longtime opposition of revered rabbis to Zionism.
Ever since the destruction of the holy temple in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish people some two thousand years ago, we have been enjoined to be scrupulously loyal to the countries we reside in, and never seek to undertake to establish independent sovereignty in the Holy Land or anywhere else throughout the world. One of the great biblical prophets, Jeremiah, in chapter 29 of his book proclaimed G-d's message to all the exiled; verse seven reads: Seek out the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you and pray for it to the Almighty, for through its welfare you will have welfare. This has been a cornerstone of Jewish morality throughout our history to this very day.
The Zionist movement rejects all the fundamental principles of our Torah and rabbis. Jews do not need a state of their own. The very establishment of a "Jewish" state is a grave violation of Jewish tradition and law. Therefore they do not represent the Jewish people in any way whatsoever. They have no right to speak in the name of the Jewish people. Therefore their words, declarations and actions are not in any way representative of the Jewish people. We deplore acts and policies carried out by those who -- misusing the name of Israel -- have substituted the ideal of nationalism for the teachings of the Holy Torah.
Therefore, Mr. President, it is of the utmost urgency that the State of Israel should not be referred to as a Jewish State, but as the Zionist State. The FOUNDATION of its existence is not Judaism, but the Zionist ideology. We are extremely concerned that referring to it as a "Jewish" state endangers the welfare of Jews worldwide by linking Jews and Judaism to the actions of the Zionist state. The Zionist state with its supporters worldwide seeks to take all measures possible, including provoking hatred of Jews through Israeli policies, in order to convince Jews to move from their native countries to the State of Israel!! Indeed, hatred of Jews is the very lifeblood and oxygen of the Zionist movement and their state, which stand in total opposition to Judaism.
Throughout history when persecution resulted in expulsions, there were always other nations who opened their doors to the Jews, and were blessed by G-d for doing so. We believe that our country would even welcome those Jews who wish to leave the State of Israel, and bring great blessing onto the United States.
Your good intentions and kind consideration in relation to Jews is greatly appreciated, but we strongly believe that G-d's blessings upon the United States will grow if there is greater understanding and different policies in relation to this issue of the difference between Judaism. and Zionism.
We await the days when all the world will recognize the sovereignty of the Creator, and the words of the prophet Isaiah will yet be fulfilled: And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. No nation will lift its sword against any other, nor will they learn warfare any more. We remain, yours very truly, The Silent Majority American Jewry

These things should be more evident now in light of the most recent agreements between George Bush and Ariel Sharon:
SHARON'S MASTER MOVE
Israeli Leader Outflanks the Palestinians and Gets Bush's Okay
by Sidney Zion
Ariel Sharon scored a home run in Washington yesterday, and if that doesn't defang his critics in Israel, the Jewish state aint what it used to be.
The one (and maybe only) thing that brings together nearly all Israeli Jews is the okay from Uncle Sam. America is seen as the country's umbilical cord, and while there have been times when Israel stood fast against U.S. pressure, nothing beats a nod from the White House. Never did an American President give them anything like George Bush delivered on the day after Passover.
Sharon, accused by his own settlers' movement of selling it and himself out out, under the gun of leftists who want him indicted for bribery, condemned by the United Nations for assassinating the leader(s) of Hamas, then comes to Washington and brings home the flanken.
Bush calls him "heroic, courageous, bold" for his move to get out of Gaza and remove 'a few settlements' from the West Bank..."In light of new realities," said Bush, "including existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949..." The New York Post.
IN MAJOR SHIFT, BUSH ENDORSES SHARON PLAN
by Elisabeth Bumiller
WASHINGTON, April 14___President Bush on Wednesday recognized Israel's right to retain some West Bank settlements as part of any peace accord with the Palestinians as he formally endorsed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank. He called the plan "historic" and "courageous."
In a major shift In American policy that was already angering many Arabs on Wednesday night, Mr. Bush said that Israel should not have to return to the pre-1967 borders, and that Palestinians and their descendants who lost their land in Israel in 1948 should eventually be settled in a Palestinian (reservation) state, not back in Israel. The President's pronouncement effectively ruled out any "right of return" by Palestinians. The New York Times.
So when you see these things coming to pass...
...know that it is all on behalf of the Jewish people and the entire nation of Israel (a Nation that is much larger and more inclusive than Jews [even Torah-True Jews] can presently imagine).
For if the casting away of them (the natural branches) be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead?...(Romans 11:15; Ezekiel 37).
Then cometh the end, when he shall delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies beneath his Feet.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
For He hath put all things under his Feet. But when He saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that He (God) is excepted, which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?
And why stand we in jeapordy every hour...
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption (on the Left hand side of the Tree); it is raised in incorruption (on the Right hand side of the Tree):
It is sown in dishonour (on the Left side); it is raised in glory (on the Right side); it is sown in weakness; it is raised in Power...(1 Corinthians 15:12-30; 42-43).
