As America Has Done To Israel
Obadiah 1:15
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (To Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Commentary
The destruction coming to America is now catastrophic! It was just in April that cites in Alabama were destroyed by tornadoes and now in May it is Missouri. While all this is happening, the massive floods along the Mississippi River continue.
The media caught the destructive tornadoes and Obama wanting to divide Israel together as front page headlines. As so often in the past, the destruction hitting America is front page along with what America is doing to Israel. I have documented this many times, going back to 1938, in my book As America Has Done to Israel.
I have posted the articles so you can see it for yourself. Obama bullies Israel to divide the land, and the land of America is destroyed! One would think after this happened so many times that someone in Washington would wake up, but then again, the vast majority of the church is sleeping through all of this. If the church is sleeping, how can we think more of the politicians!
Front Page Politics Fox News 05/24/11 I am not sure how long this page will stay this way, but two front page articles touching each other are:
Netanyahu: Israel Cannot Return to 1967 Borders and
Obama: Midwest Storms Devastating, Heartbreaking
The following are additional articles showing the linkage:
The White House: Deepest Condolences for Missouri and the Midwest 05/23/11“Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives in the tornadoes and severe weather that struck Joplin, Missouri as well as communities across the Midwest today. We commend the heroic efforts by those who have responded and who are working to help their friends and neighbors at this very difficult time. At my direction, FEMA is working with the affected areas’ state and local officials to support response and recovery efforts, and the federal government stands ready to help our fellow Americans as needed.”
Obama to AIPAC: UN vote won’t create Palestine 05/23/11 He wants to create a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. This is crystal clear. In the end, I believe he would go along with the EU and UN to create a Palestinian state. He does not have the conviction nor courage to stand up against the world for Israel.
“US president goes before Jewish lobby in DC, says US commitment to Israel’s security ‘ironclad,’ Washington won’t stand for Israel’s isolation in international arena. President further reassures: Israel, PA, to negotiate border different than 1967′s“
I thought this article was real good as it shows the dilemma Obama is in over Jerusalem. If he really pressures Israel to divide this city, the destruction on America will be beyond anything we have ever seen.
EDITORIAL: Obama’s Jerusalem secret 05/24/11 This is a real good article that points out how Jerusalem is an unresolvable issue. Is Obama going to force Israel to divide Jerusalem which will result in God’s awesome judgment on America? Obama is playing with fire when bullying Israel over Jerusalem. This city is going to be at the very center of the coming all-out war between Israel and the surrounding Arab states.
“Mr. Obama needs a better map. The 1967 line cuts directly through Jerusalem, and the city’s status cannot be detached from the border issue. Before 1967, the Western Wall – where Mr. Obama mentioned he visited and prayed – was barred to Jews despite a provision in the 1949 armistice agreement that all be given access. Israel captured the eastern half of Jerusalem in the 1967 war and annexed it, but Palestinians still claim it as their capital. Although candidate Barack Obama strongly supported a united Jerusalem in 2008, President Obama’s administration denounced new construction in eastern Jerusalem as illegal settlement activity in 2009.”
Palestinian Statehood Vote Looms Over U.S.-Israel Rift 05/24/11 Will Obama stand alone with Israel or will he cave to the world-wide pressure? It appears that September 2011 is going to be an awesome month for America and the world.
The following verses were penned 2500 years ago, and yet they are as relevant today as they were when first written! This shows the authority of the word of God. It is all going to boil down to Jerusalem just as the Bible said it would!
Zechariah 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. (3) And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Update:
Update For
As America Has Done To Israel
This update includes more information than the United States interfering with God’s prophetic plan for Israel . Several of the disasters in this update had a second component. On several dates, homosexual events occurred simultaneously with events in Israel ; therefore, I reported these events together. In my first book God’s Final Warning to America, I reported these simultaneous events together.
I wrote As America Has Done To Israel because combining all the events made the book enormous, so I wrote a separate book about Israel . I combined the two in this update so you have the total picture of what is happening with these disasters.
July 2007
For several months the President had little to say about Israel and his two state peace plan. Then on Monday, July 16, he gave a short but highly significant speech. This speech becomes one of the turning points in the United States of America ’s relationship with the holy God of Israel. It ranks with the speech that George H. W. Bush gave on October 30, 1991 in Madrid , Spain . Monumental events would soon follow this speech that would begin to shake America to its core.
He began the speech by stating he was the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. He referred to the Israeli control of the Palestinian areas as an occupation. He again called for two democratic states, Israeland Palestine . The entire speech can be viewed athttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/200707167.html
The speech in part follows:
More than five years ago, I became the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. In the Rose Garden, I said that Palestinians should not have to live in poverty and occupation. I said that the Israelis should not have to live in terror and violence. And I laid out a new vision for the future -- two democratic states, Israel and Palestine , living side-by-side in peace and security.
The President then continued with some statements that are directly contrary to God’s prophetic word about the nation ofIsrael . He said that the Palestinian state needs to be contiguous. This means that Israel must be divided because 30 miles separates Gaza from the West Bank . He wants Israel cut in two so that Palestinians can have an unbroken state. He said America is prepared to lead the discussions to create such a state. Then he made the most dangerous statement: the final peace would involve Jerusalem . This means the dividing of Jerusalem and making the eastern section the capital of a Palestinian state.
The speech in part follows:
These negotiations must resolve difficult questions and uphold clear principles. They must ensure that Israel is secure.They must guarantee that a Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. And they must lead to a territorial settlement, with mutually agreed borders reflecting previous lines and current realities, and mutually agreed adjustments. America is prepared to lead discussions to address these issues, but they must be resolved by Palestinians and Israelis, themselves. Resolving these issues would help show Palestinians a clear way forward. And ultimately, it could lead to a final peace in the Middle East -- a permanent end to the conflict, and an agreement on all the issues, including refugees and Jerusalem .
President Bush then stated that Israel has a clear path. This clear path was not to continue the occupation of the West Bank, but Israel ’s future lies in developing areas like the Negev and Galilee . For the second time, he used the terminology that Israel was occupying the West Bank . He called for removing the unauthorized outposts in the West Bank and the ending of settlement expansion.
This speech in part follows:
Israel has a clear path. Prime Minister Olmert must continue to release Palestinian tax revenues to the government of Prime Minster Fayyad. Prime Minister Olmert has also made clear that Israel's future lies in developing areas like the Negev and Galilee -- not in continuing occupation of the West Bank. This is a reality that Prime Minister Sharon recognized, as well. So unauthorized outposts should be removed and settlement expansion ended. At the same time, Israelis should find other practical ways to reduce their footprint without reducing their security -- so they can help President Abbas improve economic and humanitarian conditions. They should be confident that the United States will never abandon its commitment to the security of Israel as a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people
He then called for an international conference in the fall for advancing the two state solution. He said Secretary of State Rice would over see the two state plan. The United States would take charge of creating a Palestinian state. He also called for the United States giving the Palestinians $190 million in new aid.
This section of the speech follows:
The world can do more to build the conditions for peace. So I will call together an international meeting this fall of representatives from nations that support a two-state solution, reject violence, recognize Israel's right to exist, and commit to all previous agreements between the parties. The key participants in this meeting will be the Israelis, the Palestinians, and their neighbors in the region. Secretary Rice will chair the meeting. She and her counterparts will review the progress that has been made toward building Palestinian institutions. They will look for innovative and effective ways to support further reform. And they will provide diplomatic support for the parties in their bilateral discussions and negotiations, so that we can move forward on a successful path to a Palestinian state.
In the one speech, President Bush touched every area of dividing the covenant land that God’s word states will bring judgment on a nation. This speech very soon would have disastrous consequences for the United States .
While the President was giving this speech, the United States economy was rolling along without any serious set backs. The stock market was on a four month rally, and at the time of the President’s speech, it was near its all time high. The stock market surge resulted in an 8 percent gain since March. On Thursday, July 19, the market closed at 14,000.41 for the first time breaking 14,000. The analysts attributed this rally to corporate buyouts, strong corporate profits and companies buying their shares. There was no talk of a recession or unmanageable debt.
The next day, Friday 20, the subprime mortgage debt implosion hit the stock market and the economy. On this day, the market fell 149 points. This was the start of the economic turmoil that shook America and the world. The economic instability that has rocked America can be traced directly back to the week President Bush called for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as it capital! On Monday, July 16, he gave the speech. On Thursday the Market reached an all time high, but then on Friday, July 20, the market and economy began to unravel.
The next week the market plunged nearly into an economic black hole. The stock market fell 311 points on one day and for the week it lost 4.23 percent. The dollar was plunging and oil prices surged. The world economy was heading into trouble times. On July 27, the headline for the New York Times read: “Global Stock Markets Tumble Amid Deepening Credit Fears,” and on July 28, 2007 the headlines read: “A Second Day of Declines Caps Worst Wall Street Week in Years.” This occurred the week following President Bush’s speech.
In August the stock market and economy reeled from the collapse of the dollar, surging oil prices, massive problems in the credit markets, and the collapse of the housing market. The entire world was shaking from what was happening to the United States economy starting July 21, 2007.
October 2007
The Federal Reserve moved in September to release huge amount of funds into the stock market and banking system to stem the crashing economy. The stock market rebounded; however, the underlining problems in the economy did not change. On October 9, the market closed at its all time high of 14,164.
Three days later, on October 12, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. Two of these bills directly impacted youngsters in school. The first is the Student Civil Rights Act (SB 777). This act prohibits any instruction or school activity that promotes a discriminatory bias against gender which includes cross-dressing sex changes, homosexuality and bisexuality. All these lifestyles must be portrayed positively in all government operated schools. The second is the Safe Place to Learn Act (AB 394.) This act will promote transexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality to students, parents and teachers through school training programs against harassment and discrimination. These two acts will attempt to indoctrinate all the public school system children and their parents into acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle. This was a major advancement of the homosexual agenda.
On October 14, Secretary Rice flew to Israel to discuss with the Israelis the establishment of a Palestinian state and the upcoming Annapolis Summit meeting in November. Her trip was to end on October 18 with a meeting in London . Rice was very clear the purpose of her visit was to see if progress was made in the development of a Palestinian state. During a briefing en route she said the following:
“… when a Palestinian state is established, it's going to be established in the West Bank and Gaza , and there'll obviously have to be some resolution of that situation. But I think the goal now is to paint as concrete a picture as possible of the -- of a Palestinian state to demonstrate that the international community, the region and most importantly the parties themselves believe that one can indeed be established, and then to invite all who have any -- who have the interests of the Palestinian people at heart to join that consensus.”
On October 19, 2007, the Santa Ana winds began to blow in California which triggered massive fires in Southern California . At one point the winds reached hurricane force on October 20. The fires caused mass evacuations of over 350,000 homes in the largest in California ’s history. The fires burnt over 500,000 acres with several thousand homes and businesses destroyed. The damages totaled one billion dollars. Just a few days after Secretary Rice returned fromIsrael , President declared Southern California a disaster area.
On October 12, 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. These bills affected all ofCalifornia ’s public school children. On October 24, 2007, President George Bush enacted federal disaster assistance for California . There were only 12 days separating the homosexual legislation from the disaster declaration, and in between, Secretary Rice was in Israel trying to establish a Palestinian State .
November 2007
The Middle East conference that the President called for in July was held November 27, 28 in Annapolis , Maryland . There was nothing new about this conference as it centered on Israel dividing the covenant land for peace. The only significant item from the conference was President Bush set the end of 2008 as the date for the creation of a Palestinian state.
During the Annapolis conference, the economy was continuing to collapse and the stock market was falling. On November 27, the headlines of the New York Times reported, ‘Stocks Now in a Correction, Down 10% From Recent High.” All the economic news was negative as oil continued to claim. On November 27, the USA Today reported,“Foreclosures to have profound impact report warns.”
This meeting coincided with a major downturn in the stock market. While the conference was meeting, the stock market was classified in a correction. The market reached its all time high of 14,164 on October 9, by the end of November it fell 1400 points.
On the day after the Annapolis Conference, November 29, a powerful weather system developed off the Northwest coast of the United States . It was so powerful that for the first time in history a hurricane warning was issued for WashingtonState . From December 1-3, the states of Washington and Oregon were struck by three powerful weather systems. The storms were classified as a 500 year event. The wind gusts reached to 147 mph!
The storms created every kind of weather condition possible, including snow, hurricane winds, record rainfall, major flooding, landslides and avalanches. The rainfall so great that it was the highest recorded in more than 100 years of reporting. The floods and landslides isolated entire towns and caused enormous loss of property. This storm was the West Coast equivalent of the Perfect Storm which hit the East Coast in October 1991.
On December 3, President Bush and Secretary Rice, meet with a US-Palestinian Partnership promoting economic and educational opportunities for the Palestinian people. President Bush spoke and his speech was limited to a brief statement. Secretary Rice spoke at length and presented goals of the United States . She refereed to the recent Annapolis Conference and continued to push for a Palestinian state by the end of 2008. A section of Secretary Rice’s speech follows:
“Last week in Annapolis , the parties, Israelis and Palestinians, agreed to launch negotiations to establish a Palestinian state and to achieve a peace treaty by the end of the year -- by the end of 2008. …President Bush believes that the goal is achievable … We all fully invested in this effort. It's a real opportunity to achieve the goal that President Bush first laid out of two democratic states living side by side in peace and security.”
On December 8, President Bush declared that a major disaster existed in Oregon and Washington because of the storms that began on December 1, 2007. He ordered federal aid and assistance to these states.
January 2008
On January 3, 2008, White House press secretary released the reason for President Bush’s upcoming trip to Israel and many Arab nations. The trip was to begin on January 9 and end on January 16. The reason was a follow up to the Annapolis Conference and to promote his two state plan. A part of the press secretary’s speech follows:
“The trip follows the Annapolis meeting, and offers an opportunity for the President to discuss with Israelis and Palestinians their efforts toward a negotiated peace and achievement of the President's vision of two democratic states,Israel and Palestine , living side by side in peace and security.”
The President arrived in Israel and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Olmert. During the meeting the President once again he spoke about two states, Israeli and Palestinian, living side-by-side. He was clear that the reason for the trip was to foster a Palestinian state.
On January 10, the President gave a speech titled: President Bush Discusses Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process. During this speech, he made it very clear that Israel was going to give up land for a Palestinian state. He also said the boundaries needed to be a long the lines of the 1949 armistice! This meant that East Jerusalem needed to be given to this Palestinian state. He also said that the Palestinian state needed to be contiguous. There is approximately 30 miles separating Gaza from the West Bank . The President’s plan meant the dividing of Israel into two states so a Palestinian state can be contiguous.
A section of the President’s speech follows:
Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. I believe we need to look to the establishment of a Palestinian state and new international mechanisms, including compensation, to resolve the refugee issue.
On January 7, a tornado outbreak started in the United States . It lasted five days until January11. This was one of the most powerful January storms in history. There were a total 74 twisters. The storm created tornadoes from Alabama toWisconsin . January tornadoes in Wisconsin are extremely rare.
This proved an ominous sign as tornado storms lashed the United States all through the winter, spring and into the summer. Record tornado outbreaks occurred during this time inflicting tremendous damage throughout the United States . These storms dropped tremendous rains and set the stage for the massive Mid-west floods in June. The start of these horrific storms and tornadoes was January 7.
Unfortunately, the tornadoes were not the only thing devastating the United States . At the same time, the stock market was plunging. The entire time the President was on this trip the stock market was in complete chaos. The market was dropping up to 250 points a day and by January 11, it had fallen 5.00 percent. Wall Street was shaken. When the President returned, he immediately, January 18, called for a $185 billion economic stimulus package to bolster the economy.
While the President was in Israel promoting the dividing of the covenant land into a Palestinian state, the United Stateswas devastated by an unprecedented tornado outbreak and the stock market was in chaos.
The volatility in the stock market and the tornado storms did not end. The President delivered his State of the Union speech on January 28. During the days leading up to the speech, the market was in chaos and was affecting the entire world.
The President’s speech in part follows:
We're also standing against the forces of extremism in the Holy Land , where we have new cause for hope. Palestinians have elected a president who recognizes that confronting terror is essential to achieving a state where his people can live in dignity and at peace with Israel . Israelis have leaders who recognize that a peaceful, democratic Palestinian state will be a source of lasting security. This month in Ramallah and Jerusalem , I assured leaders from both sides that Americawill do, and I will do, everything we can to help them achieve a peace agreement that defines a Palestinian state by the end of this year. The time has come for a Holy Land where a democratic Israel and a democratic Palestine live side-by-side in peace.
From the time the President left for Israel on January 9, until the end of the month and beyond the stock market and economy were in chaos. As the President pushed for a Palestinian state, America ’s economy began to unravel. The following are a few economic news headlines from this time period: Bush Calls for $145 Billion Economy Plan; The Next Banking Crisis on the Way; Black Monday as the Biggest FTSE Crash Since 9/11; Stocks Plunge Worldwide; and Fed’s Deep Rate Cut Seen as Once-in-a Generation.
March 2008
On March 10, 2008, Vice President Cheney traveled to the Middle East and on March 22, he arrived in Israel . He met with Prime Minister Olmert, and reinforced the United States position for the creation of a Palestinian state. In a speech the Vice President said the following:
On this journey, I am reiterating the President’s commitment to his vision of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine , living side by side in peace and security. He stated that vision early in his presidency, and as I like to remind people, he was the very first American President to do so. Reaching the necessary agreement will require tough decisions and painful concessions by both sides, but America is committed to moving the process forward …
On March 15, 2008, Secretary of State Rice criticized Israel for not moving fast enough in creating a Palestinian state. Secretary Rice was concerned that the Israelis did not freeze construction in West Bank settlements and remove some of the more than 100 unauthorized outposts set up since the 1990s. When the United States government criticizes Israelbuilding in the West Bank, this includes East Jerusalem . Rice was very upset over the Israelis building in East Jerusalem .
During mid-March the economy was in deep trouble. The dollar was rapidly declining and the price of gold was surging. The headlines of the New York Times read: One Ill Compounds Another, hammering the Economy; The Dollar Reaches New Lows; and The Price of Gold Roars Past $1,000. On March 14, Bear Stearns one the largest investment banks collapsed and needed to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve and other banks. The Federal Reserve for the first time ever intervened in this way. It was done to prevent the collapse of the entire stock market and financial system.
During this time, ferocious tornado storms were devastating the South and mid-West. On March 15, a severe storm hitGeorgia and a tornado actually went through the heart of Atlanta ! The mid-West was being hit by storm after storm with wide spread flooding and tornado damage. On March 19, President Bush declared a major disaster area for large sections of Missouri . These storms built upon the January floods and set the stage for massive flooding in June.
June 2008
On June 3, Secretary of State Rice gave a speech before a Jewish group and once again she reiterated the need for a Palestinian state. On June 6, Secretary Rice announced she was going to Israel from June 14 to June 16. On June 4, President Bush met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in the White House, and they discussed the peace process with the Palestinians.
During the first week in June, the economic situation was chaotic. On June 6, the stock market plunged nearly 400 points while oil surged to a record. The value of dollar was falling to record lows and during June the price of housing fell a record 16 percent.
Secretary Rice went to Israel and met with both Israeli and Palestinian officials. Israel had just announced it was building 1300 homes in East Jerusalem . Rice was upset with Israel ’s intention to build these homes. She responded to a question about this situation in East Jerusalem during an interview and part of her interview follows:
And I think it’s a problem that we’re – that I’m going to address with the Israelis. And it’s also – as the President said today, it’s also every reason – or it gives us every reason that we really ought to be determining the boundaries of the state, because what’s in Israel will be in Israel at that point, and what’s in Palestine will be in Palestine. And that’s the best way to resolve this, but you know, I repeat, we’ve talked a great deal about the importance of Roadmap obligations, and this one isn’t being met.
Secretary Rice made it clear during this interview that she considered East Jerusalem as part of a Palestinian state. She did not say this officially but she did say the Israelis building homes in East Jerusalem was a problem: then she talked about the boundaries of a Palestinian state. It is very clear that she considered East Jerusalem as part of a Palestinian state. Although the United States government has not officially stated it is involved in dividing Jerusalem , Secretary Rice’s actions made it clear this was the policy.
While Secretary Rice was condemning Israel , the mid-West was experiencing one of the worst floods in history. The severe storms in the mid-West that began when President Bush visited Israel in January continued into June. The massive flooding started on June 7, and by mid-June nearly all of Iowa and parts of Indiana , Illinois Missouri Minnesota and Nebraska were experiencing the worst floods in history. The flood became known as " Iowa 's Katrina”. The flooding peaked while Rice was in Israel .
Major cites in Iowa were flooded including Cedar Rapids , Iowa City, and Des Moines . Millions of farm acres were flooded which destroyed crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat along with livestock. The flood damages reached $20 billion. During June, the President declared Iowa along with parts of five other states as major disaster areas.
June 2008 – Homosexual Connection
On June 4, the California Supreme Court made its final ruling to allow homosexual marriage to begin on June 17, 2008. The court had ruled in May that refusing homosexual marriage was discriminatory and violated the state constitution. Thus, the court elevated homosexual marriage as equal to heterosexual marriage. California has no residency requirement and this meant homosexuals from all 50 states can marry in California . This decision was not limited toCalifornia but would affect all 50 states.
On June 4, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a drought emergency for the entire state. After two years of continuous drought, the governor chose this day to proclaim an emergency. He stated that in Northern California, March, April and May were the driest months ever in recorded history while Southern California had received only 20 percent of normal rainfall. This declaration occurred on the very day the state Supreme Court made its final ruling to legalize homosexual marriage. The newspapers in California had both the drought emergency and supreme court decision on the front page!
On June 17, California began to perform homosexual marriages. During this week a blistering heat wave struck the state. On June 20, a massive storm hit Northern California with a huge number of lightening strikes that started over a thousand of fires. The fires burnt for months and eventually destroyed 1,300 square miles. These fires were called the “largest single fire event in the history of California ” by the Governors’ Office. The National Guard and fire fighters from across the nation assisted in controlling the fires. On June 28, President Bush declared California a disaster area.
On June 13, for the first time in history, 52 members of the United States House of Representatives formed a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. They officially joined together to promote the homosexual agenda.
While the fires were burning in California , a massive flood was hitting Iowa . The major cities of Des Monies, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City were heavily damaged by the flooding. Gay Pride parades and events were scheduled to be held in each of these cities during the flooding! Capitol City Pride was scheduled for June 14 in Des Moines ; LGBT Pride was scheduled for June 16, in Iowa City while PrideFest was scheduled for June 22, in Cedar Rapids .
August 2008
On August 18, Secretary of State Rice announced she was going to Israel on August 25-26 to continue the President’s two state plan. On this day, Tropical Storm Fay hit Key West , Florida . This storm acted in a bizarre manner and actually zigzagged across Florida going out into the Gulf of Mexico and into the Atlantic Ocean . It struck the state a total of four times in a week! The storm brought torrential rain and flooding throughout the entire state causing tremendous damage. On August 23, the storm hit Florida for the fourth time and then headed toward New Orleans . On August 24, President Bush declared Florida a major disaster area.
On August 24 and 25, the storm soaked Alabama , Mississippi and Louisiana causing widespread flooding. The storm resulted in the death of 35 people with widespread flood damage.
On August 25, Secretary State Rice arrived in Israel to push the Annapolis plan. The next day she held a new conference with Palestinian President Abbas. During the conference, she was asked about the Israelis continuing to build settlements. These settlements include Jerusalem . Rice responded to the question with the following answer:
On the settlement issue, I think I’ve made very clear the U.S. position that the settlement activity is not conducive to creating an environment for negotiations, yet negotiations go on. We continue to press the Israelis about their Roadmap obligations and to work with the Palestinians on their Roadmap obligations as well.
Rice also made a general statement about the progress of negotiations which follows:
What I can tell you is that it is a very serious negotiating process. They are dealing with all issues before them. No issue is off the table. This is the most intensive discussions that have been there at least since Camp David
On August 25, Tropical Storm Gustav formed in the Caribbean . It headed northwest toward the United States . On August 29, it would reach hurricane strength and strike west of New Orleans . As Hurricane Gustav approached, New Orleans was evacuated for the second time since 2005. Secretary Rice’s trip to Israel was bracketed by Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Gustav.
August 2008 – Homosexual Connection
Starting on August 27 and ending on September 1, New Orleans held its annual Southern Decadence event. During Southern Decadence over 100,000 homosexuals pour into the city for the “Gay Mardi Gras.” The following is from the Southern Decadence website, http://www.southerndecadence.net/, describing the event:
As a top gay Labor Day Weekend destination, it has evolved into one of our world’s major annual events. One of the largest celebrations in New Orleans , it has become known as the “Gay Mardi Gras.”…With over 100,000 gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender participants, and an economic impact estimated to be in excess of $100 million, the city has recognized its importance with an Official Proclamation to welcome the event.
Hurricane Gustav headed toward New Orleans during Southern Decadence. The entire city was evacuated which ended this event. Hurricane Katrina hit on the eve of Southern Decadence, and now for the second time in three years New Orleans was evacuated during this event. During Hurricane Katrina, the city was destroyed and never fully recovered.
September-October 2008
The events of September make it one of the turning points in American and world history. The economic meltdown that started in July 2007 hit full force in September and carried over into October. This economic collapse can be compared only to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Economic forces were unleashed that affect the very survival of the United States .
On September 11, the US consul general to Israel , Jake Walles, was quoted in the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyamabout the progress of the Annapolis plan. Walles stated that Israel agreed to give the Palestinians control of East Jerusalem . He also said that Secretary of State Rice’s recent visits to Israel were about dividing Jerusalem .
The US State Department quickly denied Walles’ statement and said that the negotiations should be kept private. It is obvious that Walles was telling the truth and that the State Department was trying to keep a lid on its plan to divideJerusalem until the deal was completed. On September 14, the Jerusalem Post reported that Prime Minister Olmert had offered the Palestinians 98.1 percent of the West Bank, as well as East Jerusalem . Olmert was quoted as having said, “The vision of greater Israel no longer exists. Those who speak of it are delusional.”
On September 11, Hurricane Ike was heading directly toward Texas , and the Wall Street bank, Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc., was collapsing. Hurricane Ike was extremely large and powerful. It was six hundred miles in diameter and had a massive twenty-foot storm surge. Late on September 12, Ike stuck and damaged almost the entire Texas coast and parts of Louisiana . The hurricane hit Texas as a Category 3 storm just east of Galveston , and it nearly destroyed the entire city. The eye traveled north toward Houston . Most homes in the Houston area lost power in the state’s worst power disruption in history. The entire city was shut down for days. The damage inflicted by this storm ranged in estimates from $27 to $52 billion, making it one of the most destructive in history.
On September 13 and 14, negotiations to save Lehman Brothers failed, and it went into bankruptcy. At $613 billion, this was the greatest bank failure in United States history. This failure shocked the economic system and ignited a credit crisis, which was like a heart attack to the entire economic system. The stock market immediately began to melt down.
During the next two weeks, the stock market went into wild swings, falling and rising by huge numbers. This became the worst stock market crisis since the crash of 1929. To calm the people’s fears, the president called for a $700 billion taxpayer bailout of the banks and stock market.
On September 25, to promote this bailout, the president invited the two presidential candidates and other congressional leaders to the White House to discuss the economic crisis. This meeting took place at 4:00 p.m. Just three hours prior to this meeting, the president had met with Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the progress of the Annapolis Conference. At the height of the economic turmoil, the president was meeting with Abbas to discuss the division of Jerusalem !
On September 29, the great stock market meltdown of 777 points took place. This day was also the biblical feast of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This 777-point fall was the greatest yet, and it shook the US market to its core. The next biblical holiday, Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, takes place ten days after Rosh Hashanah; this ten-day gap between the two holidays is called the “Days of Awe.” During the “Days of Awe,” the world markets began to collapse until, on Yom Kippur, October 9, the market fell 679 points.
During these holidays and the “Days of Awe,” the market lost 2,400 points for a 22 percent loss—the greatest sell-off since the crash of October 1929. On October 9, 2007, the stock market reached its all-time high of 14,164 points. Exactly one year later, the market had lost $8.1 trillion, and some of the largest banks in the country had disappeared.
The next biblical holiday, the Feast of Tabernacles, fell on October 15. On this day, the stock market again fell 737 points for its second-greatest one-day fall in history. On these three biblical holidays, the market fell a total of 2,193 points!
The crash that shook America on Rosh Hashanah turned into a world collapse on Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur, the leaders of the West called for international action to stop the crash as markets and banks were collapsing worldwide. To stop the collapse, various countries nationalized their banks in an attempt to halt a complete economic meltdown. This meltdown changed the face of world economics almost overnight.
September-October 2008
The Homosexual Connection
On September 2, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released its 2009 Corporate Equality Index (http://www.hrc.org/documents/HRC_Corporate_Equality_Index_2009.pdf). This index grades the largest United Statescorporations in relation to their support for the homosexual agenda. For 2009, a total of 259 corporations achieved a 100 percent rating. The speed at which these corporations complied with the HRC is shocking. In 2002, there were 13 companies, while this year it had risen to 259. These corporations represent about 10 million workers.
There are 10 equality principles used to rate corporations. These 259 corporations are in compliance with all these principles. The 10 principles follow:
The Equality Principles (http://www.equalityproject.org/principles/en.html)
1. The company will prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender expression or gender identity as part of its written employment policy statement.
2. The company will disseminate its written employment policy statement company-wide.
3. The company will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of any employee's actual or perceived health condition, status or disability.
4. The company will offer equal health insurance and other benefits to employees to cover their domestic partners regardless of the employee's marital status, sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
5. The company will include discussions of sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity as part of its official employee diversity and sensitivity training communications.
6. The company will give employee groups equal standing, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
7. The company advertising policy will avoid the use of negative stereotypes based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
8. The company will not discriminate in its advertising, marketing or promotion of events on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
9. The company will not discriminate in the sale of its goods or services on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
10. The company will not bar charitable contributions to human rights groups and organizations on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity, nor will it support groups opposed to such rights.
A review of the HRC list revealed most of the nation’s largest corporations and banks took part in promoting the homosexual agenda. One Wall Street bank in particular, just 10 days after the listing, would play the key role in the collapse of the US economy. On September 13, Lehman Brothers along with Merrill Lynch collapsed which destabilized the entire US economy. Soon Washington Mutual, also in 100 percent HRC compliance, failed which added to the collapse.
Within one month after the release of the HRC list, the US economy was in a tailspin with the stock market collapsing and the US government spending hundreds of billions to try and save the economy. It appears that God is now draining all the wealth from these HRC approved corporations, and in doing so, it will destroy the economy of the United States . The CEOs of these corporations thought they would gain favor from the homosexuals and their supporters; however, it brought them in focus for God’s judgment. All of the corporations listed are heading into bankruptcy as they are under God’s judgment. As this economic crisis worsens, watch the wealth of these corporations evaporate.
On October 8, the United States Supreme Court refused to intervene on behalf of Massachusetts parents who wanted their children protected from homosexuality being promoted in the Lexington , MA elementary school. The school was teaching homosexuality to the young children against the parents’ objections. All the lower courts upheld the school district. The Supreme Court’s decision let the lower court’s decision stand: thus, allowing the young children to be indoctrinated into the homosexual agenda. All of these courts ruled that the school district’s right to teach homosexuality superseded the rights of the parents!
On October 10, Connecticut ’s Supreme Court ruled that homosexuals have the right to marry. This was the third state to legalize “homosexual marriage” and the second this year. Justice Richard Palmer wrote the majority opinion which in part follows:
"Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice. To decide otherwise would require us to apply one set of constitutional principles to gay persons and another to all others,"
September-October 2008 was the turning point in United States history. The diplomatic position of the government is to divide the land of Israel including Jerusalem . America ’s interference with God’s covenant land and the national promotion of the homosexual agenda came to a head. The US met the biblical requirements for judgment.
After almost exactly 21 years of God’s warning, the United States refused to stop pressuring Israel to divide the land. Most of the nation’s leading corporations are now fully engaged in promoting homosexuality along with most of the Democratic Party. Three entire state governments are completely given over to the homosexual agenda including “homosexual marriage.” Many other states along with most of the major cities are in the process of adopting the homosexual agenda.
The vast majority of the church is silent or agrees with the homosexual agenda. The convergence of the homosexual agenda and violating God’s covenant with Israel , along with the dead church, has brought divine judgment to America . The nation has crossed over from God’s warnings to His wrath.

As America Has Done To Israel
Obadiah 1:15
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (To Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Commentary
The destruction coming to America is now catastrophic! It was just in April that cites in Alabama were destroyed by tornadoes and now in May it is Missouri. While all this is happening, the massive floods along the Mississippi River continue.
The media caught the destructive tornadoes and Obama wanting to divide Israel together as front page headlines. As so often in the past, the destruction hitting America is front page along with what America is doing to Israel. I have documented this many times, going back to 1938, in my book As America Has Done to Israel.
I have posted the articles so you can see it for yourself. Obama bullies Israel to divide the land, and the land of America is destroyed! One would think after this happened so many times that someone in Washington would wake up, but then again, the vast majority of the church is sleeping through all of this. If the church is sleeping, how can we think more of the politicians!
Front Page Politics Fox News 05/24/11 I am not sure how long this page will stay this way, but two front page articles touching each other are:
Netanyahu: Israel Cannot Return to 1967 Borders and
Obama: Midwest Storms Devastating, Heartbreaking
The following are additional articles showing the linkage:
The White House: Deepest Condolences for Missouri and the Midwest 05/23/11“Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives in the tornadoes and severe weather that struck Joplin, Missouri as well as communities across the Midwest today. We commend the heroic efforts by those who have responded and who are working to help their friends and neighbors at this very difficult time. At my direction, FEMA is working with the affected areas’ state and local officials to support response and recovery efforts, and the federal government stands ready to help our fellow Americans as needed.”
Obama to AIPAC: UN vote won’t create Palestine 05/23/11 He wants to create a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. This is crystal clear. In the end, I believe he would go along with the EU and UN to create a Palestinian state. He does not have the conviction nor courage to stand up against the world for Israel.
“US president goes before Jewish lobby in DC, says US commitment to Israel’s security ‘ironclad,’ Washington won’t stand for Israel’s isolation in international arena. President further reassures: Israel, PA, to negotiate border different than 1967′s“
I thought this article was real good as it shows the dilemma Obama is in over Jerusalem. If he really pressures Israel to divide this city, the destruction on America will be beyond anything we have ever seen.
EDITORIAL: Obama’s Jerusalem secret 05/24/11 This is a real good article that points out how Jerusalem is an unresolvable issue. Is Obama going to force Israel to divide Jerusalem which will result in God’s awesome judgment on America? Obama is playing with fire when bullying Israel over Jerusalem. This city is going to be at the very center of the coming all-out war between Israel and the surrounding Arab states.
“Mr. Obama needs a better map. The 1967 line cuts directly through Jerusalem, and the city’s status cannot be detached from the border issue. Before 1967, the Western Wall – where Mr. Obama mentioned he visited and prayed – was barred to Jews despite a provision in the 1949 armistice agreement that all be given access. Israel captured the eastern half of Jerusalem in the 1967 war and annexed it, but Palestinians still claim it as their capital. Although candidate Barack Obama strongly supported a united Jerusalem in 2008, President Obama’s administration denounced new construction in eastern Jerusalem as illegal settlement activity in 2009.”
Palestinian Statehood Vote Looms Over U.S.-Israel Rift 05/24/11 Will Obama stand alone with Israel or will he cave to the world-wide pressure? It appears that September 2011 is going to be an awesome month for America and the world.
The following verses were penned 2500 years ago, and yet they are as relevant today as they were when first written! This shows the authority of the word of God. It is all going to boil down to Jerusalem just as the Bible said it would!
Zechariah 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. (3) And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Update:
Update For
As America Has Done To Israel
This update includes more information than the United States interfering with God’s prophetic plan for Israel . Several of the disasters in this update had a second component. On several dates, homosexual events occurred simultaneously with events in Israel ; therefore, I reported these events together. In my first book God’s Final Warning to America, I reported these simultaneous events together.
I wrote As America Has Done To Israel because combining all the events made the book enormous, so I wrote a separate book about Israel . I combined the two in this update so you have the total picture of what is happening with these disasters.
July 2007
For several months the President had little to say about Israel and his two state peace plan. Then on Monday, July 16, he gave a short but highly significant speech. This speech becomes one of the turning points in the United States of America ’s relationship with the holy God of Israel. It ranks with the speech that George H. W. Bush gave on October 30, 1991 in Madrid , Spain . Monumental events would soon follow this speech that would begin to shake America to its core.
He began the speech by stating he was the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. He referred to the Israeli control of the Palestinian areas as an occupation. He again called for two democratic states, Israeland Palestine . The entire speech can be viewed athttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/200707167.html
The speech in part follows:
More than five years ago, I became the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. In the Rose Garden, I said that Palestinians should not have to live in poverty and occupation. I said that the Israelis should not have to live in terror and violence. And I laid out a new vision for the future -- two democratic states, Israel and Palestine , living side-by-side in peace and security.
The President then continued with some statements that are directly contrary to God’s prophetic word about the nation ofIsrael . He said that the Palestinian state needs to be contiguous. This means that Israel must be divided because 30 miles separates Gaza from the West Bank . He wants Israel cut in two so that Palestinians can have an unbroken state. He said America is prepared to lead the discussions to create such a state. Then he made the most dangerous statement: the final peace would involve Jerusalem . This means the dividing of Jerusalem and making the eastern section the capital of a Palestinian state.
The speech in part follows:
These negotiations must resolve difficult questions and uphold clear principles. They must ensure that Israel is secure.They must guarantee that a Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. And they must lead to a territorial settlement, with mutually agreed borders reflecting previous lines and current realities, and mutually agreed adjustments. America is prepared to lead discussions to address these issues, but they must be resolved by Palestinians and Israelis, themselves. Resolving these issues would help show Palestinians a clear way forward. And ultimately, it could lead to a final peace in the Middle East -- a permanent end to the conflict, and an agreement on all the issues, including refugees and Jerusalem .
President Bush then stated that Israel has a clear path. This clear path was not to continue the occupation of the West Bank, but Israel ’s future lies in developing areas like the Negev and Galilee . For the second time, he used the terminology that Israel was occupying the West Bank . He called for removing the unauthorized outposts in the West Bank and the ending of settlement expansion.
This speech in part follows:
Israel has a clear path. Prime Minister Olmert must continue to release Palestinian tax revenues to the government of Prime Minster Fayyad. Prime Minister Olmert has also made clear that Israel's future lies in developing areas like the Negev and Galilee -- not in continuing occupation of the West Bank. This is a reality that Prime Minister Sharon recognized, as well. So unauthorized outposts should be removed and settlement expansion ended. At the same time, Israelis should find other practical ways to reduce their footprint without reducing their security -- so they can help President Abbas improve economic and humanitarian conditions. They should be confident that the United States will never abandon its commitment to the security of Israel as a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people
He then called for an international conference in the fall for advancing the two state solution. He said Secretary of State Rice would over see the two state plan. The United States would take charge of creating a Palestinian state. He also called for the United States giving the Palestinians $190 million in new aid.
This section of the speech follows:
The world can do more to build the conditions for peace. So I will call together an international meeting this fall of representatives from nations that support a two-state solution, reject violence, recognize Israel's right to exist, and commit to all previous agreements between the parties. The key participants in this meeting will be the Israelis, the Palestinians, and their neighbors in the region. Secretary Rice will chair the meeting. She and her counterparts will review the progress that has been made toward building Palestinian institutions. They will look for innovative and effective ways to support further reform. And they will provide diplomatic support for the parties in their bilateral discussions and negotiations, so that we can move forward on a successful path to a Palestinian state.
In the one speech, President Bush touched every area of dividing the covenant land that God’s word states will bring judgment on a nation. This speech very soon would have disastrous consequences for the United States .
While the President was giving this speech, the United States economy was rolling along without any serious set backs. The stock market was on a four month rally, and at the time of the President’s speech, it was near its all time high. The stock market surge resulted in an 8 percent gain since March. On Thursday, July 19, the market closed at 14,000.41 for the first time breaking 14,000. The analysts attributed this rally to corporate buyouts, strong corporate profits and companies buying their shares. There was no talk of a recession or unmanageable debt.
The next day, Friday 20, the subprime mortgage debt implosion hit the stock market and the economy. On this day, the market fell 149 points. This was the start of the economic turmoil that shook America and the world. The economic instability that has rocked America can be traced directly back to the week President Bush called for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as it capital! On Monday, July 16, he gave the speech. On Thursday the Market reached an all time high, but then on Friday, July 20, the market and economy began to unravel.
The next week the market plunged nearly into an economic black hole. The stock market fell 311 points on one day and for the week it lost 4.23 percent. The dollar was plunging and oil prices surged. The world economy was heading into trouble times. On July 27, the headline for the New York Times read: “Global Stock Markets Tumble Amid Deepening Credit Fears,” and on July 28, 2007 the headlines read: “A Second Day of Declines Caps Worst Wall Street Week in Years.” This occurred the week following President Bush’s speech.
In August the stock market and economy reeled from the collapse of the dollar, surging oil prices, massive problems in the credit markets, and the collapse of the housing market. The entire world was shaking from what was happening to the United States economy starting July 21, 2007.
October 2007
The Federal Reserve moved in September to release huge amount of funds into the stock market and banking system to stem the crashing economy. The stock market rebounded; however, the underlining problems in the economy did not change. On October 9, the market closed at its all time high of 14,164.
Three days later, on October 12, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. Two of these bills directly impacted youngsters in school. The first is the Student Civil Rights Act (SB 777). This act prohibits any instruction or school activity that promotes a discriminatory bias against gender which includes cross-dressing sex changes, homosexuality and bisexuality. All these lifestyles must be portrayed positively in all government operated schools. The second is the Safe Place to Learn Act (AB 394.) This act will promote transexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality to students, parents and teachers through school training programs against harassment and discrimination. These two acts will attempt to indoctrinate all the public school system children and their parents into acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle. This was a major advancement of the homosexual agenda.
On October 14, Secretary Rice flew to Israel to discuss with the Israelis the establishment of a Palestinian state and the upcoming Annapolis Summit meeting in November. Her trip was to end on October 18 with a meeting in London . Rice was very clear the purpose of her visit was to see if progress was made in the development of a Palestinian state. During a briefing en route she said the following:
“… when a Palestinian state is established, it's going to be established in the West Bank and Gaza , and there'll obviously have to be some resolution of that situation. But I think the goal now is to paint as concrete a picture as possible of the -- of a Palestinian state to demonstrate that the international community, the region and most importantly the parties themselves believe that one can indeed be established, and then to invite all who have any -- who have the interests of the Palestinian people at heart to join that consensus.”
On October 19, 2007, the Santa Ana winds began to blow in California which triggered massive fires in Southern California . At one point the winds reached hurricane force on October 20. The fires caused mass evacuations of over 350,000 homes in the largest in California ’s history. The fires burnt over 500,000 acres with several thousand homes and businesses destroyed. The damages totaled one billion dollars. Just a few days after Secretary Rice returned fromIsrael , President declared Southern California a disaster area.
On October 12, 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. These bills affected all ofCalifornia ’s public school children. On October 24, 2007, President George Bush enacted federal disaster assistance for California . There were only 12 days separating the homosexual legislation from the disaster declaration, and in between, Secretary Rice was in Israel trying to establish a Palestinian State .
November 2007
The Middle East conference that the President called for in July was held November 27, 28 in Annapolis , Maryland . There was nothing new about this conference as it centered on Israel dividing the covenant land for peace. The only significant item from the conference was President Bush set the end of 2008 as the date for the creation of a Palestinian state.
During the Annapolis conference, the economy was continuing to collapse and the stock market was falling. On November 27, the headlines of the New York Times reported, ‘Stocks Now in a Correction, Down 10% From Recent High.” All the economic news was negative as oil continued to claim. On November 27, the USA Today reported,“Foreclosures to have profound impact report warns.”
This meeting coincided with a major downturn in the stock market. While the conference was meeting, the stock market was classified in a correction. The market reached its all time high of 14,164 on October 9, by the end of November it fell 1400 points.
On the day after the Annapolis Conference, November 29, a powerful weather system developed off the Northwest coast of the United States . It was so powerful that for the first time in history a hurricane warning was issued for WashingtonState . From December 1-3, the states of Washington and Oregon were struck by three powerful weather systems. The storms were classified as a 500 year event. The wind gusts reached to 147 mph!
The storms created every kind of weather condition possible, including snow, hurricane winds, record rainfall, major flooding, landslides and avalanches. The rainfall so great that it was the highest recorded in more than 100 years of reporting. The floods and landslides isolated entire towns and caused enormous loss of property. This storm was the West Coast equivalent of the Perfect Storm which hit the East Coast in October 1991.
On December 3, President Bush and Secretary Rice, meet with a US-Palestinian Partnership promoting economic and educational opportunities for the Palestinian people. President Bush spoke and his speech was limited to a brief statement. Secretary Rice spoke at length and presented goals of the United States . She refereed to the recent Annapolis Conference and continued to push for a Palestinian state by the end of 2008. A section of Secretary Rice’s speech follows:
“Last week in Annapolis , the parties, Israelis and Palestinians, agreed to launch negotiations to establish a Palestinian state and to achieve a peace treaty by the end of the year -- by the end of 2008. …President Bush believes that the goal is achievable … We all fully invested in this effort. It's a real opportunity to achieve the goal that President Bush first laid out of two democratic states living side by side in peace and security.”
On December 8, President Bush declared that a major disaster existed in Oregon and Washington because of the storms that began on December 1, 2007. He ordered federal aid and assistance to these states.
January 2008
On January 3, 2008, White House press secretary released the reason for President Bush’s upcoming trip to Israel and many Arab nations. The trip was to begin on January 9 and end on January 16. The reason was a follow up to the Annapolis Conference and to promote his two state plan. A part of the press secretary’s speech follows:
“The trip follows the Annapolis meeting, and offers an opportunity for the President to discuss with Israelis and Palestinians their efforts toward a negotiated peace and achievement of the President's vision of two democratic states,Israel and Palestine , living side by side in peace and security.”
The President arrived in Israel and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Olmert. During the meeting the President once again he spoke about two states, Israeli and Palestinian, living side-by-side. He was clear that the reason for the trip was to foster a Palestinian state.
On January 10, the President gave a speech titled: President Bush Discusses Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process. During this speech, he made it very clear that Israel was going to give up land for a Palestinian state. He also said the boundaries needed to be a long the lines of the 1949 armistice! This meant that East Jerusalem needed to be given to this Palestinian state. He also said that the Palestinian state needed to be contiguous. There is approximately 30 miles separating Gaza from the West Bank . The President’s plan meant the dividing of Israel into two states so a Palestinian state can be contiguous.
A section of the President’s speech follows:
Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. I believe we need to look to the establishment of a Palestinian state and new international mechanisms, including compensation, to resolve the refugee issue.
On January 7, a tornado outbreak started in the United States . It lasted five days until January11. This was one of the most powerful January storms in history. There were a total 74 twisters. The storm created tornadoes from Alabama toWisconsin . January tornadoes in Wisconsin are extremely rare.
This proved an ominous sign as tornado storms lashed the United States all through the winter, spring and into the summer. Record tornado outbreaks occurred during this time inflicting tremendous damage throughout the United States . These storms dropped tremendous rains and set the stage for the massive Mid-west floods in June. The start of these horrific storms and tornadoes was January 7.
Unfortunately, the tornadoes were not the only thing devastating the United States . At the same time, the stock market was plunging. The entire time the President was on this trip the stock market was in complete chaos. The market was dropping up to 250 points a day and by January 11, it had fallen 5.00 percent. Wall Street was shaken. When the President returned, he immediately, January 18, called for a $185 billion economic stimulus package to bolster the economy.
While the President was in Israel promoting the dividing of the covenant land into a Palestinian state, the United Stateswas devastated by an unprecedented tornado outbreak and the stock market was in chaos.
The volatility in the stock market and the tornado storms did not end. The President delivered his State of the Union speech on January 28. During the days leading up to the speech, the market was in chaos and was affecting the entire world.
The President’s speech in part follows:
We're also standing against the forces of extremism in the Holy Land , where we have new cause for hope. Palestinians have elected a president who recognizes that confronting terror is essential to achieving a state where his people can live in dignity and at peace with Israel . Israelis have leaders who recognize that a peaceful, democratic Palestinian state will be a source of lasting security. This month in Ramallah and Jerusalem , I assured leaders from both sides that Americawill do, and I will do, everything we can to help them achieve a peace agreement that defines a Palestinian state by the end of this year. The time has come for a Holy Land where a democratic Israel and a democratic Palestine live side-by-side in peace.
From the time the President left for Israel on January 9, until the end of the month and beyond the stock market and economy were in chaos. As the President pushed for a Palestinian state, America ’s economy began to unravel. The following are a few economic news headlines from this time period: Bush Calls for $145 Billion Economy Plan; The Next Banking Crisis on the Way; Black Monday as the Biggest FTSE Crash Since 9/11; Stocks Plunge Worldwide; and Fed’s Deep Rate Cut Seen as Once-in-a Generation.
March 2008
On March 10, 2008, Vice President Cheney traveled to the Middle East and on March 22, he arrived in Israel . He met with Prime Minister Olmert, and reinforced the United States position for the creation of a Palestinian state. In a speech the Vice President said the following:
On this journey, I am reiterating the President’s commitment to his vision of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine , living side by side in peace and security. He stated that vision early in his presidency, and as I like to remind people, he was the very first American President to do so. Reaching the necessary agreement will require tough decisions and painful concessions by both sides, but America is committed to moving the process forward …
On March 15, 2008, Secretary of State Rice criticized Israel for not moving fast enough in creating a Palestinian state. Secretary Rice was concerned that the Israelis did not freeze construction in West Bank settlements and remove some of the more than 100 unauthorized outposts set up since the 1990s. When the United States government criticizes Israelbuilding in the West Bank, this includes East Jerusalem . Rice was very upset over the Israelis building in East Jerusalem .
During mid-March the economy was in deep trouble. The dollar was rapidly declining and the price of gold was surging. The headlines of the New York Times read: One Ill Compounds Another, hammering the Economy; The Dollar Reaches New Lows; and The Price of Gold Roars Past $1,000. On March 14, Bear Stearns one the largest investment banks collapsed and needed to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve and other banks. The Federal Reserve for the first time ever intervened in this way. It was done to prevent the collapse of the entire stock market and financial system.
During this time, ferocious tornado storms were devastating the South and mid-West. On March 15, a severe storm hitGeorgia and a tornado actually went through the heart of Atlanta ! The mid-West was being hit by storm after storm with wide spread flooding and tornado damage. On March 19, President Bush declared a major disaster area for large sections of Missouri . These storms built upon the January floods and set the stage for massive flooding in June.
June 2008
On June 3, Secretary of State Rice gave a speech before a Jewish group and once again she reiterated the need for a Palestinian state. On June 6, Secretary Rice announced she was going to Israel from June 14 to June 16. On June 4, President Bush met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in the White House, and they discussed the peace process with the Palestinians.
During the first week in June, the economic situation was chaotic. On June 6, the stock market plunged nearly 400 points while oil surged to a record. The value of dollar was falling to record lows and during June the price of housing fell a record 16 percent.
Secretary Rice went to Israel and met with both Israeli and Palestinian officials. Israel had just announced it was building 1300 homes in East Jerusalem . Rice was upset with Israel ’s intention to build these homes. She responded to a question about this situation in East Jerusalem during an interview and part of her interview follows:
And I think it’s a problem that we’re – that I’m going to address with the Israelis. And it’s also – as the President said today, it’s also every reason – or it gives us every reason that we really ought to be determining the boundaries of the state, because what’s in Israel will be in Israel at that point, and what’s in Palestine will be in Palestine. And that’s the best way to resolve this, but you know, I repeat, we’ve talked a great deal about the importance of Roadmap obligations, and this one isn’t being met.
Secretary Rice made it clear during this interview that she considered East Jerusalem as part of a Palestinian state. She did not say this officially but she did say the Israelis building homes in East Jerusalem was a problem: then she talked about the boundaries of a Palestinian state. It is very clear that she considered East Jerusalem as part of a Palestinian state. Although the United States government has not officially stated it is involved in dividing Jerusalem , Secretary Rice’s actions made it clear this was the policy.
While Secretary Rice was condemning Israel , the mid-West was experiencing one of the worst floods in history. The severe storms in the mid-West that began when President Bush visited Israel in January continued into June. The massive flooding started on June 7, and by mid-June nearly all of Iowa and parts of Indiana , Illinois Missouri Minnesota and Nebraska were experiencing the worst floods in history. The flood became known as " Iowa 's Katrina”. The flooding peaked while Rice was in Israel .
Major cites in Iowa were flooded including Cedar Rapids , Iowa City, and Des Moines . Millions of farm acres were flooded which destroyed crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat along with livestock. The flood damages reached $20 billion. During June, the President declared Iowa along with parts of five other states as major disaster areas.
June 2008 – Homosexual Connection
On June 4, the California Supreme Court made its final ruling to allow homosexual marriage to begin on June 17, 2008. The court had ruled in May that refusing homosexual marriage was discriminatory and violated the state constitution. Thus, the court elevated homosexual marriage as equal to heterosexual marriage. California has no residency requirement and this meant homosexuals from all 50 states can marry in California . This decision was not limited toCalifornia but would affect all 50 states.
On June 4, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a drought emergency for the entire state. After two years of continuous drought, the governor chose this day to proclaim an emergency. He stated that in Northern California, March, April and May were the driest months ever in recorded history while Southern California had received only 20 percent of normal rainfall. This declaration occurred on the very day the state Supreme Court made its final ruling to legalize homosexual marriage. The newspapers in California had both the drought emergency and supreme court decision on the front page!
On June 17, California began to perform homosexual marriages. During this week a blistering heat wave struck the state. On June 20, a massive storm hit Northern California with a huge number of lightening strikes that started over a thousand of fires. The fires burnt for months and eventually destroyed 1,300 square miles. These fires were called the “largest single fire event in the history of California ” by the Governors’ Office. The National Guard and fire fighters from across the nation assisted in controlling the fires. On June 28, President Bush declared California a disaster area.
On June 13, for the first time in history, 52 members of the United States House of Representatives formed a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. They officially joined together to promote the homosexual agenda.
While the fires were burning in California , a massive flood was hitting Iowa . The major cities of Des Monies, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City were heavily damaged by the flooding. Gay Pride parades and events were scheduled to be held in each of these cities during the flooding! Capitol City Pride was scheduled for June 14 in Des Moines ; LGBT Pride was scheduled for June 16, in Iowa City while PrideFest was scheduled for June 22, in Cedar Rapids .
August 2008
On August 18, Secretary of State Rice announced she was going to Israel on August 25-26 to continue the President’s two state plan. On this day, Tropical Storm Fay hit Key West , Florida . This storm acted in a bizarre manner and actually zigzagged across Florida going out into the Gulf of Mexico and into the Atlantic Ocean . It struck the state a total of four times in a week! The storm brought torrential rain and flooding throughout the entire state causing tremendous damage. On August 23, the storm hit Florida for the fourth time and then headed toward New Orleans . On August 24, President Bush declared Florida a major disaster area.
On August 24 and 25, the storm soaked Alabama , Mississippi and Louisiana causing widespread flooding. The storm resulted in the death of 35 people with widespread flood damage.
On August 25, Secretary State Rice arrived in Israel to push the Annapolis plan. The next day she held a new conference with Palestinian President Abbas. During the conference, she was asked about the Israelis continuing to build settlements. These settlements include Jerusalem . Rice responded to the question with the following answer:
On the settlement issue, I think I’ve made very clear the U.S. position that the settlement activity is not conducive to creating an environment for negotiations, yet negotiations go on. We continue to press the Israelis about their Roadmap obligations and to work with the Palestinians on their Roadmap obligations as well.
Rice also made a general statement about the progress of negotiations which follows:
What I can tell you is that it is a very serious negotiating process. They are dealing with all issues before them. No issue is off the table. This is the most intensive discussions that have been there at least since Camp David
On August 25, Tropical Storm Gustav formed in the Caribbean . It headed northwest toward the United States . On August 29, it would reach hurricane strength and strike west of New Orleans . As Hurricane Gustav approached, New Orleans was evacuated for the second time since 2005. Secretary Rice’s trip to Israel was bracketed by Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Gustav.
August 2008 – Homosexual Connection
Starting on August 27 and ending on September 1, New Orleans held its annual Southern Decadence event. During Southern Decadence over 100,000 homosexuals pour into the city for the “Gay Mardi Gras.” The following is from the Southern Decadence website, http://www.southerndecadence.net/, describing the event:
As a top gay Labor Day Weekend destination, it has evolved into one of our world’s major annual events. One of the largest celebrations in New Orleans , it has become known as the “Gay Mardi Gras.”…With over 100,000 gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender participants, and an economic impact estimated to be in excess of $100 million, the city has recognized its importance with an Official Proclamation to welcome the event.
Hurricane Gustav headed toward New Orleans during Southern Decadence. The entire city was evacuated which ended this event. Hurricane Katrina hit on the eve of Southern Decadence, and now for the second time in three years New Orleans was evacuated during this event. During Hurricane Katrina, the city was destroyed and never fully recovered.
September-October 2008
The events of September make it one of the turning points in American and world history. The economic meltdown that started in July 2007 hit full force in September and carried over into October. This economic collapse can be compared only to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Economic forces were unleashed that affect the very survival of the United States .
On September 11, the US consul general to Israel , Jake Walles, was quoted in the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyamabout the progress of the Annapolis plan. Walles stated that Israel agreed to give the Palestinians control of East Jerusalem . He also said that Secretary of State Rice’s recent visits to Israel were about dividing Jerusalem .
The US State Department quickly denied Walles’ statement and said that the negotiations should be kept private. It is obvious that Walles was telling the truth and that the State Department was trying to keep a lid on its plan to divideJerusalem until the deal was completed. On September 14, the Jerusalem Post reported that Prime Minister Olmert had offered the Palestinians 98.1 percent of the West Bank, as well as East Jerusalem . Olmert was quoted as having said, “The vision of greater Israel no longer exists. Those who speak of it are delusional.”
On September 11, Hurricane Ike was heading directly toward Texas , and the Wall Street bank, Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc., was collapsing. Hurricane Ike was extremely large and powerful. It was six hundred miles in diameter and had a massive twenty-foot storm surge. Late on September 12, Ike stuck and damaged almost the entire Texas coast and parts of Louisiana . The hurricane hit Texas as a Category 3 storm just east of Galveston , and it nearly destroyed the entire city. The eye traveled north toward Houston . Most homes in the Houston area lost power in the state’s worst power disruption in history. The entire city was shut down for days. The damage inflicted by this storm ranged in estimates from $27 to $52 billion, making it one of the most destructive in history.
On September 13 and 14, negotiations to save Lehman Brothers failed, and it went into bankruptcy. At $613 billion, this was the greatest bank failure in United States history. This failure shocked the economic system and ignited a credit crisis, which was like a heart attack to the entire economic system. The stock market immediately began to melt down.
During the next two weeks, the stock market went into wild swings, falling and rising by huge numbers. This became the worst stock market crisis since the crash of 1929. To calm the people’s fears, the president called for a $700 billion taxpayer bailout of the banks and stock market.
On September 25, to promote this bailout, the president invited the two presidential candidates and other congressional leaders to the White House to discuss the economic crisis. This meeting took place at 4:00 p.m. Just three hours prior to this meeting, the president had met with Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the progress of the Annapolis Conference. At the height of the economic turmoil, the president was meeting with Abbas to discuss the division of Jerusalem !
On September 29, the great stock market meltdown of 777 points took place. This day was also the biblical feast of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This 777-point fall was the greatest yet, and it shook the US market to its core. The next biblical holiday, Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, takes place ten days after Rosh Hashanah; this ten-day gap between the two holidays is called the “Days of Awe.” During the “Days of Awe,” the world markets began to collapse until, on Yom Kippur, October 9, the market fell 679 points.
During these holidays and the “Days of Awe,” the market lost 2,400 points for a 22 percent loss—the greatest sell-off since the crash of October 1929. On October 9, 2007, the stock market reached its all-time high of 14,164 points. Exactly one year later, the market had lost $8.1 trillion, and some of the largest banks in the country had disappeared.
The next biblical holiday, the Feast of Tabernacles, fell on October 15. On this day, the stock market again fell 737 points for its second-greatest one-day fall in history. On these three biblical holidays, the market fell a total of 2,193 points!
The crash that shook America on Rosh Hashanah turned into a world collapse on Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur, the leaders of the West called for international action to stop the crash as markets and banks were collapsing worldwide. To stop the collapse, various countries nationalized their banks in an attempt to halt a complete economic meltdown. This meltdown changed the face of world economics almost overnight.
September-October 2008
The Homosexual Connection
On September 2, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released its 2009 Corporate Equality Index (http://www.hrc.org/documents/HRC_Corporate_Equality_Index_2009.pdf). This index grades the largest United Statescorporations in relation to their support for the homosexual agenda. For 2009, a total of 259 corporations achieved a 100 percent rating. The speed at which these corporations complied with the HRC is shocking. In 2002, there were 13 companies, while this year it had risen to 259. These corporations represent about 10 million workers.
There are 10 equality principles used to rate corporations. These 259 corporations are in compliance with all these principles. The 10 principles follow:
The Equality Principles (http://www.equalityproject.org/principles/en.html)
1. The company will prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender expression or gender identity as part of its written employment policy statement.
2. The company will disseminate its written employment policy statement company-wide.
3. The company will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of any employee's actual or perceived health condition, status or disability.
4. The company will offer equal health insurance and other benefits to employees to cover their domestic partners regardless of the employee's marital status, sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
5. The company will include discussions of sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity as part of its official employee diversity and sensitivity training communications.
6. The company will give employee groups equal standing, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
7. The company advertising policy will avoid the use of negative stereotypes based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
8. The company will not discriminate in its advertising, marketing or promotion of events on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
9. The company will not discriminate in the sale of its goods or services on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity.
10. The company will not bar charitable contributions to human rights groups and organizations on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity, nor will it support groups opposed to such rights.
A review of the HRC list revealed most of the nation’s largest corporations and banks took part in promoting the homosexual agenda. One Wall Street bank in particular, just 10 days after the listing, would play the key role in the collapse of the US economy. On September 13, Lehman Brothers along with Merrill Lynch collapsed which destabilized the entire US economy. Soon Washington Mutual, also in 100 percent HRC compliance, failed which added to the collapse.
Within one month after the release of the HRC list, the US economy was in a tailspin with the stock market collapsing and the US government spending hundreds of billions to try and save the economy. It appears that God is now draining all the wealth from these HRC approved corporations, and in doing so, it will destroy the economy of the United States . The CEOs of these corporations thought they would gain favor from the homosexuals and their supporters; however, it brought them in focus for God’s judgment. All of the corporations listed are heading into bankruptcy as they are under God’s judgment. As this economic crisis worsens, watch the wealth of these corporations evaporate.
On October 8, the United States Supreme Court refused to intervene on behalf of Massachusetts parents who wanted their children protected from homosexuality being promoted in the Lexington , MA elementary school. The school was teaching homosexuality to the young children against the parents’ objections. All the lower courts upheld the school district. The Supreme Court’s decision let the lower court’s decision stand: thus, allowing the young children to be indoctrinated into the homosexual agenda. All of these courts ruled that the school district’s right to teach homosexuality superseded the rights of the parents!
On October 10, Connecticut ’s Supreme Court ruled that homosexuals have the right to marry. This was the third state to legalize “homosexual marriage” and the second this year. Justice Richard Palmer wrote the majority opinion which in part follows:
"Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice. To decide otherwise would require us to apply one set of constitutional principles to gay persons and another to all others,"
September-October 2008 was the turning point in United States history. The diplomatic position of the government is to divide the land of Israel including Jerusalem . America ’s interference with God’s covenant land and the national promotion of the homosexual agenda came to a head. The US met the biblical requirements for judgment.
After almost exactly 21 years of God’s warning, the United States refused to stop pressuring Israel to divide the land. Most of the nation’s leading corporations are now fully engaged in promoting homosexuality along with most of the Democratic Party. Three entire state governments are completely given over to the homosexual agenda including “homosexual marriage.” Many other states along with most of the major cities are in the process of adopting the homosexual agenda.
The vast majority of the church is silent or agrees with the homosexual agenda. The convergence of the homosexual agenda and violating God’s covenant with Israel , along with the dead church, has brought divine judgment to America . The nation has crossed over from God’s warnings to His wrath.
