As in the days of Noah: Palestine Cry: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Christmas in Palestine
God and His Messiah Jesus Christ our Lord - our right and duty to witness to Him: ADVENT OF THE ANTI-CHRIST
"And why is the rightful, holy resistance of the Palestinian people against oppression, loss of homeland, loss of dignity and human rights branded as “terrorism” and the Palestinian people branded as terrorists by the same people who murdered them and stole their homeland?
And how did this, one of the greatest of human tragedies begin, and who was responsible for perpetrating it, and who is still fostering it and allowing it to continue and remain as a blot on the forehead of the civilized, God worshipping humanity; for it is nothing less than a crime against God?
And those alien despoilers of the Palestinian People, calling themselves “Zionist Jews”, claim that they are the “remnants” of the dispersed tribes of Israel who have “returned home” to their “promised land”. But no more falsity had ever been uttered, and no more blasphemy had ever been ejaculated!"

This Christmas men are looking to the Holy Land, and they are listening — not for the strains of “Glory to God in the Highest,” but for the sounds of war upon earth. And we might say: It is just. God long ago crashed the Temple of Jerusalem to the ground, and cursed its people, the Jews, to be forever homeless and wandering. If the world has defied this Divine judgment and supported a Jewish return to Palestine, then let the world bear the consequences of God’s righteous anger.
But this leaves a greater part unsaid. For the Holy Land is infinitely more than a geographical locality which God has forbidden to the Jews. It is, for all time, the precious countryside where God became the Child of a Virginal Mother, and where God as Man walked and taught and died for us. It is, indeed, God’s Land.
If, therefore, we are anxious this Christmas, our concern is this: The leaders of our nation have proposed that Christian boys be ready to shed their blood in order to make the Jews secure within the borders of the Holy Land. But should this happen, should Christian lives be spent to keep God’s Land in the hands of His crucifiers, the price of such betrayal will not be confined to the deserts of the East. We will be paying, in kind, on bloody Main Street, U. S. A.

It is, of course, true that the Jews would have been eager to exploit any one of their festivals that was opportune in order to affront the beauty and singularity of Christmas. Yet Chanukah is especially suited for such a use — because it was on that day that Our Lord revealed Himself to the Jews as the Messias, and, for doing so, was almost stoned. The story is told in the Holy Gospel of Saint John (Chap. 10, v. 22-39):

The pride of Jewish rural life is the “kibbutz,” a sort of collective farm settlement, of which there are presently some 250 well-populated examples in the state of Israel. A recent volume to swell the praises of these communes is Harvard University Press’ Kibbutz, Venture in Utopia. The following two extracts from this book provide a raw, startling picture of the Jews who today inhabit the Land of Christ’s Birth:

Each year when the Church commemorates the arrival of the Magi at Bethlehem, on the Feast of the Epiphany, our priests are required to read, as an integral part of their Breviary prayers, the following homily by Pope Saint Gregory the Great:
Palestine Cry: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Christian and Muslim together
Hippolytus of Rome: The Extant Works and Fragments: Exegetical (Roberts-Donaldson translation)"And why is the rightful, holy resistance of the Palestinian people against oppression, loss of homeland, loss of dignity and human rights branded as “terrorism” and the Palestinian people branded as terrorists by the same people who murdered them and stole their homeland?

See herein where the twelves princes that are promised to Ishmael in mirror type of the twelve princes given to Israel in the Bible in promise of the Messiah who came, for He is Our Lord Jesus Christ and no other: The Final Trial: The Truth: The coming of the Antichrist, ad-Dajjal. In both cases, for the twelve to be construed as a special enumeration of racial blessing is absolute apostasy from God and His Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ came to save all, without favorites of any sort, who confess Him as the Messiah.

THE ENEMIES OF CHRIST AT CHRISTMAS
Soon, the Jews of America will be trying once more to jostle Christmas from its place as the nation’s chief interest in late December. As elbow for this endeavor, the Jews will rely again on their festival of Chanukah — once a minor holiday but recently seized on because of its timely Yuletide occurrence and now celebrated with all the blare and bluster the Jews can produce.Though originally set up in 165 B. C., the observance of Chanukah (Hebrew for “Dedication”) has long since lost its holy, Old Testament meaning. Thus, when Jewish leaders decided a few years back to revive and exalt the holiday, they found it expedient also to invest it with a fresh and acceptable significance. They have, accordingly, made it an annual practice to hire the principal halls in the principal cities of the country for the staging of special Chanukah pageants. These loudly-trumpeted extravaganzas (“Inspiring — Breathtaking — Spectacular”) oppose the Birth of the true Messias by dramatizing, with the solemnity of religious ritual, the birth of their own messianic empire: the Jewish state of Israel.It is, of course, true that the Jews would have been eager to exploit any one of their festivals that was opportune in order to affront the beauty and singularity of Christmas. Yet Chanukah is especially suited for such a use — because it was on that day that Our Lord revealed Himself to the Jews as the Messias, and, for doing so, was almost stoned. The story is told in the Holy Gospel of Saint John (Chap. 10, v. 22-39):
“And the Dedication was in Jerusalem: and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Salomon’s porch. The Jews therefore compassed him round about, and said to him, How long doest thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou be Christ, tell us openly. Jesus answered them, I speak to you: and you believe not, the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me, but you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand. My father, that which he hath given me, is greater than all: and no man can pluck them out of the hand of my father. I and the Father are one. The Jews took up stones, to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works I have showed you from my father, for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, you are God’s? If he called them God’s, to whom the word of God was made, and the scripture can not be broken: whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, That thou blasphemest, because I said I am the son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, and if you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. They sought therefore to apprehend him: and he went forth out of their hands.”Because it is reckoned by the Jewish calendar, the day on which Chanukah falls may vary from year to year by as much as a month. This year it is due to fall on its earliest possible date. But Jews have never been ones to let liturgical niceties stand in the way of more vital considerations, and so, the Jews of Boston (the only segment of whose plans we have heard) are making an adroit adjustment in their schedule. Their annual Chanukah pageant at the Boston Garden will be held this year, not when the calendar says Chanukah should occur, but some three weeks later, on December the twenty-third — just a stone’s throw from Christmas.
“In its attempt to create a better world, the kibbutz has found that it faces considerable opposition, and it has come to view this opposition with an intense hatred. Indeed, it is not unfair to say the kibbutz hates almost everybody, since it views almost everybody as an opponent. Outside of Israel, all the ‘bourgeois’ countries are hated, and only the Soviet Union and ‘People’s Democracies’ are ‘loved.’“As for marriage, they believed — and still believe — that a union between a man and woman was their own affair, to be entered into on the basis of love and to be broken at the termination of love; neither the union nor the separation were to require the permission or the sanction of the community. Today, for example, if a couple wishes to marry, the partners merely ask for a joint room; if they wish a divorce, they return to separate rooms.”
“All things which He had made, bore witness that their Maker was come ... And yet, up to this very hour, the hearts of the unbelieving Jews will not acknowledge that He, to Whom all nature gave testimony, is their God. Being more hardened than the rocks, the Jews refuse to be rent by repentance.”This is but one instance of what the Jews would term the “anti-Semitism” of the Church’s Advent and Christmas Season liturgy. With the possible exception of Holy Week in Lent, there is no period in the whole liturgical year which more emphasizes the bridgeless chasm separating Christian faith and Jewish infidelity.From Advent through the Epiphany Octave, the texts of the Mass and the Divine Office resound repeatedly with that theme which is at once the fulfilled expectation of the Jews of the Old Law, and the indictment of the deicide Jews of today:
“Behold, O Israel, your king ... Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, for the day of the Lord is nigh ... It is the birth of the Christ, O Jerusalem ... The Savior of the world will be our King ... He shall sit upon the throne of David His father.”These are the tidings of great joy which plague the Jews as sorely this December as they did more than nineteen hundred years ago. And among these tidings there is, for the Jews, no more hateful information than the exultant shouts that the Baby of Bethlehem is the true Son of David, inheriting a royal title from His foster father, Saint Joseph, and royal blood from His Spotless Mother, the Virgin Mary. It was precisely to attack this central truth of Christmas that the rabbis of the early Christian centuries concocted that unprintably-filthy version of the Birth of Christ which is now found in the Jews’ “holy” book, the Talmud. We have determined never to reprint, in direct quotation, these blasphemous assaults against the purity of the Mother of God. But that they were invented by the rabbis, for the express purpose of challenging Our Lord’s title to the Throne of David, is abundantly admitted by Jewish authorities. The Jewish Encyclopedia, for example, blithely states, in its article on “Jesus,” that, “For polemical purposes it was necessary for the Jews to insist on the illegitimacy of Jesus as against the Davidic descent claimed by the Christian Church.”At no point in the Christmas liturgy, however, does the Church’s consciousness of Jewish perfidy becloud her joy at the Birth of the Messias. In this spirit, therefore, we anticipate the coming gladness, and leave our readers with that jubilant exhortation from the Third Mass of Christmas:
“Come ye Gentiles and adore the Lord, for this day a great light hath descended upon the earth!”

First Kathisma, Zabin - Psalm ofDavid’s. Without Superscription among the Hebrews, 1.Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the pestilent. But his will is rather in the law of the Lord, and in His law will he meditate day and night. And he shall be like the tree which is planted by the streams of the waters, which shall bring forth its fruit in its season; and its leaf shall not fall, and all things whatsoever he may do shall prosper. Not so are the ungodly, not so; but rather they are like the chaff which the wind doth hurl away from the face of the earth. For this reason shall the ungodly not stand up in judgement, nor sinners in the council of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Tell El Obeid
This is what is left of the Tower of Babel Ubaid: Tell El-Ubaid that had stood in the plain of Shinar (Mesopotamia - modern Iraq) that God punished the people for building and divided their language into many conflicting tongues to prevent them from accomplishing their aim of storming heaven and acting as gods over the whole earth. The idea of trying to say that curse extends to today to the modern Iraqi people or that they are somehow sacred as opposed to other people because of the Tower of Babel and where it stood is absurd. All people on earth are equally descended from the inhabitants of Mesopotamia of that time. That was somewhat after the flood of Noah.
Christians and Muslims together is a blessing willed by God.
The impostors in the Holy Land who call themselves "Israelis" and "Jews" and claim God gave them the land are not Semites but instead totally predominantly are Khazars converted to Talmudism and not anything to do with any Israelite covenant with God. They are speakers of just about any corruption - yiddish, modern Hebrew etc., and not the language of Adam, Enoch, Noah, Heber, Moses, David, Elijah and Jesus Christ. They are intruders who broke every international law and law of man imaginable in order to pillage the Holy Land from its rightful inhabitants who are the Palestinians, both Christian and Muslim. In return the Arab Christians and Muslims have shown themselves true sons and daughters of the patriarchs, prophets and ancient Church and all faithful who are rightfully termed Catholic, that is universally throughout all time those who worship the true God and follow His commands, and Muslims - for Islam has the exact same meaning as Catholic here. To show themselves true to God the Christians and Muslims have stood for God and His truth, and extended in exchange for the villainy committed against them, the offer of true peace with even the interlopers who invaded their land. Instead, the interlopers have created a Diabolical wall, that at the same time creates the largest open air concentration camp - Gaza, and even fences the Jews into yet another, this time again, self made ghetto. That is nothing but Satanic envy and idiocy. Pray for the peace of Palestine, and when Saints Enoch and Elijah return to preach, whenever that is, do exactly whatever they say.

All people on earth are equally descended from the inhabitants of Mesopotamia of that time. That was somewhat after the flood of Noah.
See: Genesis 11:1-9
1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech. 2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it. 3 And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar. 4 And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. 7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. 9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. 7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. 9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
Notice that all people are still referred to as the children of Adam at that point. Ur of the Chaldees, where Abram was called out of by God and then later renamed Abraham, is just a few miles away from where Tell El-Ubaid is. The single tongue mentioned is that of Heber who did not lend himself to the effort that offended God. Hence Biblical Hebrew, which is the original language of Adam and therefore all people trace their language to Adam, as they do equally their ancestry, is sacred in the Old Testament as a language given by God to ALL his faithful. All languages descend from Biblical Hebrew. The closest modern spoken languages are classical Arabic and the Chaldaean liturgical language of the ancient Chaldaean Church and Assyro-Aramaic of the ancient Assyrian Church and the Palestinian Aramaic of the mother of all the churches, the Church of Jerusalem which continues unbroken from the time of Christ down to today in Palestine. Coptic is closely allied.
We Christians and Muslims worship the same God, Allah (SWT) and have our Religious linguistic roots closely allied. Maltese and Arabic speaking Christians as well as Muslims naturally call upon God as Allah, which is from the Biblical Hebrew name of God, Eloah.
To try and build the temple of Remphan where the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque now stand 
(picture - dome of the Rock) in the Noble Sanctuary is an act of extreme Dajjal, Antichrist, blasphemy against God, that must not be tolerated by faithful Christians and Muslims.
God voided the covenant
The core of the "Israeli" lie is that they are the people that God made a land covenant with in the area called Palestine for nearly two thousand years. In the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapters 28 -- 32 God explicitly tells Moses that the ancient Israelites will trangress the land covenant with God and God will void the covenant permanently and cast them out.

In the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapters 28 -- 32 God explicitly tells Moses that the ancient Israelites will trangress the land covenant with God and God will void the covenant permanently and cast them out.
Especially see:
Dt. 31:16,17
"And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which they goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will void the covenant, which I have made with them,
And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me."
This came to pass forevermore exactly as Our Lord Jesus Christ said 1500 years later when He prophesied the utter destruction of the Temple. That destruction occurred in 70 A.D. God also granted the descendants of Ishmael the land {this covenant has never been revoked by God but instead expanded on in God's revelation of Islam to Muhammad (PBUH)} since God was done with land covenants that had the specific purpose of pointing to His revelation of the Messiah with the Incarnation, Death and Burial and Resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. For, as the Church Fathers taught, the land covenant was only a type of the Resurrection of Christ, and the resurrection of all men by virtue of the Cross of Christ – His Kenosis.
See:
Gn:21:17:
17 And God heard the voice of the boy [Ishmael]: and an angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."
From that land covenant with Ishmael, God, Allah (SWT) brought forth the covenant with people revealed first to the Arab people which is Islam and that is at the same time a total reaffirmation of the covenants with Moses and with Christians through the only Messiah who is Jesus Christ. That covenant of Islam is written in classical Arabic - the Holy Qur'an. Classical Arabic is the coming together of the pre-classical Arabic and Aramaic which are descended from ancient Biblical Hebrew. The New Testament and Old Testament Septuagint are in Koine Greek (an amalgam or construct of all five Greek dialects at that time beginning with the most classical Attic). The Septuagint is a divinely inspired translation of the Biblical Hebrew just as the Septuagint New Testament, the Injil, is the divinely inspired record of Our Lord Jesus Christ's coming to earth at His incarnation. Masoretic Hebrew and worse yet, modern Hebrew, are corruptions. The Talmud is a mockery and utterly devoid of truth; it has nothing to do with God's word in the Bible.
And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me."

SECTIONS II., III.
And the Lord said: "And I will bring the waters of the flood upon the earth to destroy all flesh," etc.
Hippolytus, the Targumist expositor, said: The names of the wives of the sons of Noah are these: the name of the wife of Sem, Nahalath Mahnuk; and the name of the wife of Cham, Zedkat Nabu; and the name of the wife of Japheth, Arathka. These, moreover, are their names in the Syriac Targum. The name of the wife of Sem was Nahalath Mahnuk; the name of the wife of Cham, Zedkat Nabu; the name of the wife of Japheth, Arathka.
Therefore God gave intimation to Noah, and informed him of the coming of the flood, and of the destruction of the ruined (wicked).
And God Most High ordered him to descend from the holy mount, him and his sons, and the wives of his sons, and to build a ship of three storeys. The lower storey was for fierce, wild, and dangerous beasts. Between them there were stakes or wooden beams, to separate them from each other, and prevent them from having intercourse with each other. The middle storey was for birds, and their different genera. Then the upper storey was for Noah himself and his sons--for his own wife and his sons' wives.
Noah also made a door in the ship, on the east side. He also constructed tanks of water, and store-rooms of provisions.
When he had made an end, accordingly, of building the ship, Noah, with his sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth, entered the cave of deposits.
And on their first approach, indeed, they happily found the bodies of the fathers, Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kainan, Mahaliel, Jared, Mathusalach, and Lamech. Those eight bodies were in the place of deposits, viz., those of Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kainan, Mahaliel, Jared, Mathusalach, and Lamech.
Noah, moreover, took the body of Adam. And his sons took with them offerings. Sem carried gold, Cham myrrh, and Japheth frankincense. Then, leaving the cave of deposits, they transferred the offerings and the body of Adam to the holy mount.
And when they sat down by the body of Adam, over against paradise, they began to lament and weep for the loss of paradise.
Then, descending from the holy mount, and lifting up their eyes towards paradise, they renewed their weeping and wailing, (and) uttered an eternal farewell in these terms: Farewell! peace to thee, O paradise of God! Farewell, O habitation of religion and purity! Farewell, O seat of pleasure and delight!
Then they embraced the stones and trees of the holy mount, and wept, and said: Farewell, O habitation of the good! Farewell, O abode of holy bodies!
Then, after three days, Noah, with his sons and his sons' wives, came down from the holy mount to the base of the holy mount, to the ship's place. For the (ark) was under the projecting edge of the holy mount.
And Noah entered the ship, and deposited the body of Adam, and the offerings, in the middle of the ship, upon a bier of wood, which he had prepared for the reception of the body.
And God charged Noah, saying: Make for thyself rattles of boxwood (or cypress). Now ????? is the wood called Sagh, i.e., Indian plane.
Make also the hammer (bell) thereof of the same wood. And the length of the rattle shall be three whole cubits, and its breadth one and a half cubit.
And God enjoined him to strike the rattles three times every day, to wit, for the first time at early dawn, for the second time at mid-day, and for the third time at sunset.
And it happened that, as soon as Noah had struck the rattles, the sons of Cain and the sons of Vahim ran up straightway to him, and he warned and alarmed them by telling of the immediate approach of the flood, and of the destruction already hasting on and impending.
Thus, moreover, was the pity of God toward them displayed, that they might be converted and come to themselves again. But the sons of Cain did not comply with what Noah proclaimed to them. And Noah brought together pairs, male and female, of all birds of every kind; and thus also of all beasts, tame and wild alike, pair and pair.
