Salam al Maseeh

The first Palestinian above all others is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Let be accursed any gospel other than that which was preached at the beginning, received not from man but from Christ Jesus, thou alone, in whom we have redemption through thy all holy infinitely pure and undefiled blood, the remission of our sins, who in the future shall recreate the heavens and the earth, called by thine special choice, who before hoped in Christ with all who heard the word of truth and believed, sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the possession, for the praise of his glory, in faith in the Lord Jesus, and of love for all the saints in unceasing intercession of all the elect angels and saints of God, virgins, with all thanksgiving, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in deep knowledge of him; the eyes of our minds being enlightened, to know the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power wrought in Christ the only first born from the dead in the flesh raised above all things he made subject under his feet, we who hold him the head directly and no other, Christ Jesus our only Lord and Saviour immortal son of the immortal Father in the unity and power and bond of love of the immortal Holy Spirit our Paraclete unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

A prayer of Isaias the Prophet.

Is. 26: 9-21

(Isaias' prophecy, which is also his prayer.)

O Lord our God, grant us peace. Out of the night my spirit waketh at dawn unto Thee, O God; for Thy commandments are a light upon the earth. Learn righteousness, all ye that dwell upon the earth. For the ungodly man hath come to an end; every one that learneth not righteousness upon the earth shall not be able to do truth; let the ungodly be taken away, that he may not see the glory of the Lord. O Lord, Thine arm is lifted up, and they knew it not; but when they know it, let them be put to shame. Zeal shall lay hold upon an untaught people, and now fire shall devour the adversaries. O Lord our God, bestow Thy peace upon us, for Thou hast given all things unto us. O Lord our God, take us for Thy possession. O Lord, we know no other beside Thee; we call upon Thy name. But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians raise them up; therefore hast Thou brought wrath upon them, and hast slain them, and hast taken every man of them away. Bring more evils upon them, Lord; bring more evils upon them that are glorious upon the earth. O Lord, in trouble we remembered Thee; with small affliction was Thy chastening with us. And as a woman in travail draweth nigh to be delivered, and crieth out in her travail, so have we become in the presence of Thy beloved. We have conceived, O Lord, because of Thy fear, and have suffered pangs, and have brought forth the spirit of Thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth. We shall not fail, but all those that dwell upon the earth shall fail. The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tomb shall awake, and they that are upon the earth shall rejoice. For the dew which Thou sendest is healing unto them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish. Go, my people, enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season [during the Great Tribulation, hidden in mountains and dens and caves of the earth - there is NO secret rapture which is only an heretical apostate Lurianic Talmudic Judaic doctrine], until the anger of the Lord shall pass away.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

And see: The Abomination of Desolation

Note in the below that this is a description of the evil that precedes the Antichrist who is the Abomination of Desolation. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ then comes after the reign of Antichrist has proceeded for a while. Antichrist, his reign and the False Prophet and all their followers are then destroyed by the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with all His elect Angels and sent to hell forever. The saints will then reign with Our Lord Jesus Christ at their head on earth forever.

Palestine, which is properly the Holy Land for in it walked God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, and there He allowed Himself to be sacrificed for the salvation of those who profess Him from the heart and with the mouth, is a miniature of all the evil that has come upon the earth and there will the final evil be concentrated in its fullness and rule from there for a short time.

From: The Abomination of Desolation

Writing in the second century, St. Hippolytus wrote the following about the evil that will abound before the coming of Antichrist:

The temples of God will be like houses, and there will be overturnings of the churches everywhere. The Scriptures will be despised, and everywhere they will sing the songs of the adversary. Fornications, and adulteries, and perjuries will fill the land; sorceries, and incantations, and divinations will follow after these with all force and zeal. And, on the whole, from among those who profess to be Christians will rise up then false prophets, false apostles, impostors, mischief-makers, evil-doers, liars against each other, adulterers, fornicators, robbers, grasping, perjured, mendacious, hating each other. The shepherds will be like wolves; the priests will embrace falsehood; the monks will lust after the things of the world; the rich will assume hardness of heart; the rulers will not help the poor; the powerful will cast off all pity; the judges will remove justice from the just, and, blinded with bribes, they will call in unrighteousness.

MATTHEW 28

CHAPTER XXVIII.

The resurrection of Christ. His commission to his disciples.

1 And *in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week,

18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

19 *Going, therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

"Consummation of the world," - the end of this age of grace and the beginning of the eternal ages with Christ reigning visibly. This is the end of the eschaton and the beginning of the eternal recreated heavens and the earth and will begin when Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns from heaven in the same flesh He rose with and ascended into the third heaven with, seated at the right hand of the Father. His return will be with all of His elect angels. He will raise and judge all men in the flesh and then recreate the heavens and the earth, which in that state will last that way for eternity. There will NOT be any sin in the new heavens and earth, so prepare now by confessing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and be baptized as commanded above and shown how to baptize below and live Holy and Godly lives in sincerity and humility and meekness waiting for the Lord when He returns so that we are not like the five foolish virgins but are like the five wise virgins.

Method of Baptism

From the Didache (49 A.D. Council of Jerusalem):

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism.

And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize the one to be baptized into Jesus Christ in "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," in running water. But if you have no running water, baptize into other water [still water]; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head onto the one to be baptized saying at that time "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before.

Baptism can and should always be performed immediately when there is danger of death of the one to be baptized. For instance, impending martyrdom or possible death causing illness.

Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist = Dajjal: Totally reject Dajjal and instead Come to Christ and receive the water of life

The Muhammad of the Almighty Triune God of The Final Trial would not stand in the way of Muslims coming to Our Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in Him as the Injeel commands. The Mohammed of Ahmadiyya is the same as the Mohammot of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and both are antichrists and contradict the clear commands of God in the Injeel and Taurat and Quran.

Noble Quran

003.045 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (held in honor by the company of the prophets and saints) those nearest to God;

003.046 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (adhered to by the company) of the righteous."

003.047 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: God createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

003.048 "And God will teach him [Jesus Christ] the Book [alkitaba = all sacred writing from God Most High] and Wisdom [hikma = sophia = uncreated wisdom of God one with His Holy Spirit], the Law [Taurat fulfilled in the Gospel of Jesus Christ] and the Gospel [of Jesus Christ],"

As the Word of God Jesus Christ willed to learn in His Incarnation what He already possessed and knew prior to His Incarnation as part of His kenosis (emptying out of Himself and taking upon Himself our nature while in no way losing anything of what He already was as God by nature and Son of God as the Second Person of the undivided Trinity) and as an example to us of how we in humility must follow God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

See this for why Jesus Christ must be confessed as the Holy Word and Son of God: The Final Trial: Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate

The Muslim feast of Eid only commemorates the typological sacrifice by Abraham of Issac. That prefigured the final and only Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on His Most Holy Cross. It is only by the Sacrifice of Christ on His Cross that we are saved. Jesus Christ commanded, not suggested, that we be baptized; echoing the rest of the Church Fathers, St. Augustine noted that if someone could not be baptized even though they wanted it and did everything they could to be baptized in the water in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then their confession of faith is enough for their salvation. But no where are we allowed to refuse baptism.

All Muslims and everyone who will, are invited and encouraged to come to the water of life now and be baptized in the water and in the Spirit in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and receive Communion.

For Noah and Abraham as Prophecies of Baptism in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ see:

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Second Prophesy: Genesis 5: 32; 6; 7: 6: 11-14, 18-21, 23-24; 8: 1-3, 6-12, 15-21

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Third Prophesy: Genesis 22: 1-19

There is no evolution, to be baptized in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ one must believe in the truth of literal Creation by God and no pantheistic syncretism with deistic design and the rest of pagan evolutionary theory.

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The First Prophesy: Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-2

And see the rest of the Baptismal Prophecies. They are a must.

For all Jews wishing to convert sincerely from the heart to Jesus Christ now, here is a prayer based on the biblical Hebrew of the prophets of the Old Testament and the Septuagint Greek of the Old Testament and the New Testament and Arabic.

(The Arabic, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, means the same as God Almighty, or 'O Theos 'O Pantocrator, in Septuagint Greek.)

In the below “Dam (Blood) Kadosh (Holy) bet Yeshua ha Maschiach (Jesus Christ) kanawn anawim (have mercy on Your faithful [those who turn to God by the shed Blood of Christ on Calvary])” is asking for God's forgiveness by the shed Holy Blood of Christ – which is the only forgiveness there is from God for sin.

Jonathan Cook - Blood and Religion: Unmasking the Jewish and Democratic State





Book Review: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State | The Electronic Intifada


Book Review: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State

12 June 2006
Jonathan Cook: BLOOD AND RELIGION: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State
(Pluto Press, London/University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 2006 - ISBN 0-7453-2555-6)
In spring 2001, the Or Commission began an inquiry into the deaths of thirteen unarmed Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli security forces during the riots that followed Ariel Sharon’s provocative walk on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount the previous September. Twelve of these victims were citizens of Israel, the thirteenth a Gazan. Within weeks the hearings descended into acrimony as relatives of the deceased responded bitterly and sometimes violently to the mendacity of the police, and the procedural obstacles placed upon their lawyers’ attempts to expose the truth.
Eventually Justice Theodor Or “demanded that a glass partition be built between the public gallery, where the Palestinian families sat, and the rest of the courtroom…. On the TV news and in newspaper photographs, however, it looked as if all the participants to the inquiry were sitting in the same room. The inquiry appeared to be treating all the parties equally when in reality its Arab participants were outsiders, excluded and largely ignored.”
This “very Israeli solution” provides Nazareth-based British journalist Jonathan Cook with a readymade image for the plight of Palestinian Israelis (curiously, he consistently uses the unpopular term “Israeli Arabs”) in purportedly democratic Israel. The glass wall, he maintains, is “an even greater obstacle to a Middle East peace than its walls of concrete and steel,” an often overlooked manifestation of the “iron wall” that Vladimir Jabotinsky decreed in 1923 was essential to the maintenance of an ethnic Jewish state in Palestine.
Like Susan Nathan’s magisterial The Other Side of Israel, Blood and Religion focuses attention on those Palestinians whose dilemma is often left out of account by solidarity groups: the descendants of Palestinian Arabs who managed to remain in “sovereign” Israel during the ethnic cleansing of 1948. While Nathan describes in harrowing detail the daily discrimination exercised by the Jewish state against its Arab citizens, Cook meticulously analyses the political basis for and probable future consequences of this discrimination.
Israel’s claim to be “Jewish and democratic” is conditional on the domination of the state by a hefty Jewish majority, with its Arab citizenry constituting a maximum of 20 percent since the days of Yitzhak Rabin (Israel’s founding father David Ben Gurion had set the limit at 15 percent). However, given the discrepancy in birth-rates between Jews and Arabs, there has been a lingering fear since the foundation of the state that growing numbers of Arabs would become so influential as to overthrow such anti-democratic legislation as the 1950 Law of Return, or to force a re-definition of Israel as “a state of all its citizens” - a notion that elsewhere is regarded as a sine qua non of democracy.
Israel’s defenders have tied themselves up in knots explaining how an “ethnic democracy” can still “operate within the parameters of democratic behaviour,” the tragedy being that so many outsiders have played along with such conceptual contortions. Only in the late 1990s did certain dissident Israeli intellectuals query this model. Political geographer Oren Yiftachel defined Israel as an “ethnocracy,” being “neither authoritarian nor democratic… Ethnocracies, despite exhibiting several democratic features, lack a democratic structure.” More recently political scientist Yoav Peled, for whom “The logic of the Oslo process was a demographic logic,” a logic “to which the PLO was a party,” has argued that (as Cook paraphrases him) “Israel could no longer be characterised as a democracy, even in the most formal sense.”
This assessment was confirmed by a poll organised in 2003 by the Israel Democracy Institute which found that only 77 percent of Israeli Jews believed that democracy “was a desirable form of government, giving Israelis the lowest ranking in a comparative survey of public attitudes in 35 democratic states.” It concluded that “Israel is mainly a formal democracy that has not yet acquired the characteristics of a substantive democracy.” Clearly the continued use of the trope “the only democracy in the Middle East” needs radical revision.
Of course the ideal Zionist state is racially pure, 100 percent Jewish, and Cook demonstrates how successive generations of Israeli politicians and soldiers - the former tending to be enlisted from the ranks of the latter - have sought to bring about this regressive aim. Since in principle there would be no minority in such a state to be discriminated against, it could indeed claim to be fully democratic and egalitarian. While the lingering temptation of outright ethnic cleansing has hitherto been resisted - there may be limits to what the “international community” will tolerate from Israel, though these limits seem to be dwindling as the “clash of civilizations” model gains renewed currency - Moshe Dayan’s celebrated assertion that Palestinians “will live like dogs and whoever wishes may leave” has become the basis of Israeli government policy towards its Arab citizens.
Cook devotes about a third of his book to recounting Israel’s short and horrible history as a sustained struggle against “the demographic demon” (Giora Eiland). For the seasoned Israel/Palestine hand, revisiting this material for the umpteenth time may prove a gruelling experience. However, persistence is worthwhile as the demographic perspective provides a thread linking many policies, practices and utterances that had seemed just so many unlinked manifestations of unmotivated cruelty and racism. Via the construction of the apartheid wall (or separation barrier, depending on your ideology), Cook’s account culminates in the Gaza “disengagement” whereby the loss of some 1.3 million Arabs “would buy the Jewish state a little time as it sought a way to deal with its urgent demographic problems.” Meanwhile the heinous Nationality Law, by preventing West Bank Palestinians from joining their spouses in Israel, reinterprets marriage as “a demographic assault” or “a stealth implementation of the ‘right of return’ ” (Jerusalem Post).
Finally, the much-vaunted “two state solution” acquires its true colours. When Yossi Beilin, one of the architects of the Geneva Initiative so beloved of western governments (and Noam Chomsky), asserts that “a Palestinian state is the life-belt of the Jewish state,” we must understand that the interests of the Palestinian people are the last thing on his mind. Whether discriminatory policies drive Palestinian Israelis into the putative “Palestinian state” or whether the Little Triangle, a sliver of land bordering the West Bank and home to 25 percent of Palestinian Israelis, is “exchanged” with its entire population for illegal Jewish West Bank settlements, the motivation behind such “scaling back of Israel’s territorial ambitions” is the creation of a pure Jewish ethnocracy beside an impoverished Palestinian entity devoid of territorial contiguity, meaningful sovereignty, or security from Israeli assault.
In a sober, unemphatic style, Jonathan Cook has produced a scarifying and thoroughly documented indictment of systematic injustice. It should be required reading in the Middle East departments of western governments, not one of which is taking a stand against Israel’s flagrant abuse of the concept of democracy. Perhaps, one fears, they see an example to be emulated.

Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State

Published by: Pluto Press, April 2006

Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic StateDescription

Jonathan’s first book concerns Israel’s treatment of its Palestinian citizens during the second intifada, and the real reasons for the policy of territorial separation evident in the Gaza disengagement and the building of the West Bank wall. It argues that, faced with predictions that the combined Palestinian population inside Israel and the Occupied Territories will soon outnumber the region’s Jews, Israel decided to create an expanded fortress state, where only Jewish blood and Jewish religion count.

Endorsements

Jonathan Cook’s timely and important book on the Palestinians in Israel is by far the most penetrating and comprehensive on the subject to date … [He] builds, through exhaustive reference to the Hebrew press, a convincing picture of ethnocratic Zionism constantly preoccupied with a central dilemma: how to rid the land of its indigenous people. This work should be required reading.
