REVELATION 17:1-2,4-5
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Over the past century—despite the march of secularism—the Vatican's role in world affairs has expanded. In 1890 a famous English Catholic, Cardinal Manning, said the Holy See's diplomatic activities were “a mere pageant”, a medieval relic. He would be amazed to find that in 2007 papal diplomacy is more active than ever.The real explosion came under John Paul II. When he was elected in 1978, the Holy See had full ties with 85 states. When he died, the figure was 174 states.Today the Vatican has political relations with 190 nation states.
Why do cardinals in Vatican City wear red? and bishops wear purple? and priest wear black?
The Cardinals are Bishops, they wear the color crimson red to represent the blood of the martyrs who died for Christ. They are also referred as the Princes of Blood.The Bishops wear the color purple to symbolize royalty, because of their position within the Church. They also wear the color black to symbolize poverty.Priest (Presbyters) wear the color black to symbolizes poverty.
In the early Church, no distinctive garb seems to have been worn, except of course liturgical vestments, which in some cases were also worn outside the celebration of sacraments. For instance, sometimes bishops and priests wore the chasuble like regular clothing, as did the deacons with the dalmatic.By the 6th century clerics and nobility retained the traditional Roman style of clothing of a long tunic and cloak. The male laity began wearing a short tunic, breeches, and mantle — clothing introduced by the barbarian tribes. Also at this time (6th century) the cassock as we know it originated in France and was given the Latin name "pillicia" (or "pelisse" in early French), meaning skin or hide. The name signifies that the long tunic was lined with fur to provide warmth, sorely needed in the unheated stone churches, especially during the winter season. However, others besides clerics wore these garments.Source:Catholic

More Motions Filed to Cancel Terrorists' Citizenship-Three terrorists' residency statuses at stake, Interior Minister Gilad Erdan says, including man responsible for 2012 Tel Aviv bus bomb.By Shlomo Pitrikovsky-First Publish: 12/16/2014, 2:10 PM-israelnationalnews
Interior Minister Gilad Erdan has filed a formal request to Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to allow the citizenship of three Israelis involved in terror attacks to be revoked, he announced Tuesday afternoon."Imagine sitting at home, and then someone breaks in and starts smashing windows, breaking furniture and destroying your china," he explained. "In the end he even sits down and asks for a cup of coffee and cake. Weird, is not it? That's pretty much the situation with terrorists Arab citizens of Israel. and certainly it is time to end it.""Today I asked the attorney general to submit my name in a report to repeal the citizenship of three Israeli civilians, who were involved in attacks and acts of terror against Israel," he continued. "My request is based on Article 11 of the Citizenship Law, according to which the Minister of Interior may apply to the court to cancel the Israeli citizenship for civilians who have been deemed to have been guilty of a breach of trust."Those three terrorists include Muhammed Faraj, who was involved in a Tel Aviv bus bombing in 2012; and arch-terrorists Dorgam Mahaj'na and Orsan Assad, who have been involved directly and indirectly in terrorist acts."Anyone involved in terrorism and anyone who commits serious crimes against the people of Israel for nationalistic reasons cannot continue to carry Israeli citizenship and enjoy the rights that come with it," Erdan said. "Anyone who thinks to engage in terrorism should also know that he will not enjoy the benefits of the state and its citizens.""It is important to clarify that Jewish citizens in similar cases will be exposed to these measures and sanctions," he added.The Interior Minister announced recently that he was examining the possibility of expanding his powers to expel Arab terrorists from Jerusalem, precisely by revoking their residency permits.Last month, he cancelled the permanent residency status of Mahmoud Nadi, the driver for the suicide bomber responsible for the bombing at the Dolphinarium Disco in Tel Aviv in June 2001. That attack killed 21 people and wounded over 100 others.Weeks later, he also expelled Nadia Abu Jamal, the wife of one of the two Arab terrorists who attacked a Har Nof synagogue in Jerusalem, murdering four Jews at prayer and a police officer, on similar grounds.
Poll: Most Palestinian Arabs Support Recent Terror Wave-An overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs support the recent spate of terrorist attacks against Israelis, new poll finds.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 12/10/2014, 4:14 AM-israelnationalnews
An overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs support the recent spate of terrorist attacks against Israelis, an opinion poll released Tuesday finds, according to The Associated Press (AP).The poll also found that more than half of Palestinian Arabs support a new “intifada” (uprising) against Israel, and that Hamas would win presidential elections if they were held today.Palestinian Arab pollster Khalil Shikaki said the results reflected anger over Israeli statements about Jerusalem, as well as a loss of hope following the collapse of U.S.-brokered peace talks and Israel's recent war with Hamas in Gaza.Shikaki heads the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, which interviewed 1,270 people in the Palestinian Authority-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria and Gaza last week. The poll had an error margin of 3 percentage points."There is an environment in which violence is becoming a dominant issue," Shikaki told AP. "This seems to be one of the most important driving forces."There has been a spate of attacks in Jerusalem over the past month and a half, at a time of rising tensions over the Temple Mount. The wave of attacks has come to be known as the “silent intifada”.The poll found 86 percent of respondents believe the Al-Aqsa mosque is in “grave danger” from Israel. It said 80 percent supported individual attacks by Arabs who have stabbed Israelis or rammed cars into crowded train stations.Islamists have been regularly clashing with Israeli police on the Temple Mount and escalated a campaign of harassment against Jewish visitors, who are already under severe restrictions due to Muslim pressure. The violence reached a peak with the recent attempted murder of prominent Jewish Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick.Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has blamed Israel for the ongoing tensions in Jerusalem.
Yishai Break Splits Shas Electorate Power in Half-Poll shows Yishai's new Yachad party gets four seats, leaves Shas with four, amid speculation of Yachad union with nationalist parties.By Hezki Ezra, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 12/16/2014, 4:27 PM-israelnationalnews
After former Shas chairperson Eli Yishai split with the hareidi party over steep demands by chairperson Aryeh Deri and launched his own Yachad party on Monday, a new poll on Tuesday shows Yachad and Shas stand even at four mandates apiece. Shas currently has 11 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.The poll, conducted by Panels Politics for the Knesset Channel, shows Likud and Labor which recently joined with Hatnua neck and neck at 22 mandates each. Coming in third would be Jewish Home at 15 mandates - it remains to be seen precisely how a possible Tekuma faction break from the party would affect the results.Three parties tie for fourth largest, with Moshe Kahlon's Kulanu, Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid and the three Arab parties all together each getting ten seats.Yisrael Beytenu comes next with nine seats, and hareidi United Torah Judaism would get seven seats as would the far-left Meretz party.As noted, a particularly interesting development indicated by the survey is that Yishai's new Yachad party would get four seats, matching Shas.There has also been speculation over the past several days as to whether Yishai might be considering a joint list with Uri Ariel's National Union party - currently a faction within the Jewish Home party - due to tensions between Ariel and Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett. Neither side has officially commented on the issue, however.It has also been suggested the two could join forces with the Otzma Yehudit party to create a nationalist religious bloc that would be a force to be reckoned with in the Knesset. Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir of Otzma Yehudit told Arutz Sheva on Monday that for now talk of such a union is simply rumors and there have been no talks yet, but said his party would be open to cooperation.

12/15/2014 -VATICAN INSIDER-“China will continue to hold constructive dialogue with the Holy See”-China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang-This statement came from China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang today. It was in answer to journalists’ questions regarding the audience the Pope denied the Dalai Lama-andrea tornielli
rome-China is always “sincere” about improving relations with Vatican, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang at a press conference today.In response to a question about Francis’ decision not to receive the Dalai Lama in audience last week, Qin said China has "noticed" the Holy See's attitude. He then went on to say that "China will continue to hold constructive dialogue with the Holy See," Qin said, adding that "we hope Vatican will make joint efforts with China so that the two sides can meet each other halfway to improve bilateral relations."China does not have two Churches as many news commentators keep on claiming. Almost all bishops are in communion with Rome, even those who were previously ordained without a papal mandate. The big problem now is agreeing on a procedure for nominating bishops.Last week, the Holy See Press Office clarified that although Francis feels great “esteem” for the Tibetan Buddhist leader, he would not be receiving him or any of the other Nobel Laureates in audience.There was no papal audience with the Dalai Lama because as he himself stated: “The Vatican administration says it’s not possible because it could cause inconveniences.” By “inconveniences” he was clearly referring to the Holy See’s relationship with the Chinese government which is currently going through a very delicate - a crucial in fact - phase. In recent weeks China appeared to be reaching out to the Vatican, signalling a willingness for dialogue.

rome-Pope Francis received the new Canadian Ambassador to the Holy See, Dennis Savoie, on Monday morning, Vatican Radio reports. During the meeting, Ambassador Savoie presented the Pope with his credentials, which marked the start of the diplomat’s four-year term.“It was a very humbling experience,” said Ambassador Savoie about his meeting with the Pope. “I felt very privileged to have been received by the Holy Father. I met a man who is very, very simple, very personable, makes you feel at ease right away. It was a very, very good meeting.”In an interview with Vatican Radio, Ambassador Savoie said his “first priority” is to establish a network within which to identify areas for possible collaboration between Canada and the Holy See.“What I’ve already started doing in the past couple of months … is to establish a network within the area of the Holy See and government to try to, together, try to identify in what areas both countries, so to speak, could collaborate for the betterment of humanity,” he said.The new ambassador, who fills a post that had been empty for more than a year, said he also looks forward to working with other ambassadors in Rome on issues of common concern, Vatican Radio adds.“Some of them are very focused in certain areas which I’m interested in, whether it’s social justice, whether it’s immigration or religious liberties,” he said.Ambassador Savoie was born in Tracadie, New Brunswick, one of Canada’s eastern provinces, on 9 February 1945. He comes to Rome after a 27-year career with the New Brunswick Power Corporation, where he became vice president, and upon retirement, four years as executive director of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes.Vatican Radio describes him as a committed Catholic and informs that he has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1973. He later served as the Deputy Supreme Knight in New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States, from 2006 to 2013.This is his first diplomatic assignment.

Russian rouble in free fall over oil price, EU sanctions--Today @ 09:29-euobserver-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - In a surprise announcement on Monday (15 December), the Russian central bank said it would raise its key interest rate to 17 percent from 10.5 percent.The move is aimed at shoring up the tumbling currency as the Russian economy feels the pain of a low oil price - oil and gas are Russia's main exports - combined with US and EU sanctions over Russian involvement in the Ukrainian war.
It is the highest interest rate increase since 1998, when the Russian currency collapsed and the government defaulted on its debt, sending ripples throughout financial markets around the world.“This decision is aimed at limiting substantially increased ruble depreciation risks and inflation risks,” the central bank said in a statement after its impromptu meeting.The rouble lost 9.7 percent to 64.4 per US dollar on Monday alone, after having slid almost 50 percent this year in comparison to the dollar. One euro now buys 77 roubles, compared to 45 roubles in January.About half of Russia's budget revenues come from oil and gas taxes and a quarter of its GDP is linked to the energy industry.With the oil price having started to fall from above 100 US dollars a barrel in June to 60 dollars now, Russia's economy is feeling the pinch. On top of this comes the closed access to EU and US capital markets as part of the joint sanctions.The central bank in Moscow expects the economy to contract by 4.5 to 4.7 percent next year if oil prices remain this low.With the US and its ally Saudi Arabia determining the oil price, it is likely the squeeze will continue until Russian President Vladimir Putin reverses his course in Ukraine.So far, he has kept a defiant stance and has offered amnesty to Russians who bring money - no matter how it was earned - back into their country.Other forms of 'patriotic' support appear in hipster Moscow shops, with tshirts displaying the message "I support the rouble," as AP's Moscow correspondent has tweeted.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Erdogan speech indicates deep rift with EU-Today @ 08:43-euobserver-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told the EU to “mind its own business” on free press, marking an ever-deeper rift in relations.He made the comments at a speech in the Tupras oil refinery outside Istanbul on Monday (15 December) after European officials criticised his latest arrests of opposition-linked journalists.“They cry press freedom, but they [the arrests] have nothing to do with this … We have no concern about what the EU might say, whether the EU accepts us as members or not, we have no such concern. Please keep your wisdom to yourself”, he said.“The EU should not intervene in acts taken by the police and judiciary against entities that jeopardise our national security. It should mind its own business”. Erdogan described the journalists as a fifth column trying to hold back progress in Turkey, indicating that the purge will continue.“Elements that threaten our national security, whether it’s a member of the press, or this, or that, will get the proper response”, he said.His speech, part of which was broadcast on TV, went on to complain that Turkey has been “waiting for 50 years at the EU’s door”.He also accused Germany of appeasing the PKK, a Kurdish militant group, and of failing to investigate killings of ethnic Turks on its territory.Erodgan is known for his provocative rhetoric: He recently said that women are not equal to men and that Westerners secretly hate Muslims.
Council debate on Tuesday
The EU has in the past also criticised his crackdowns while continuing talks on accession and visa-free travel.But the Tupras remarks made an immediate impact on market confidence in future ties, with the Turkish lira losing 4 percent of its value against the US dollar.For her part, EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini said she was “very surprised” by Erdogan’s comments.She noted that Turkey had given her and her colleague, enlargement commissioner Johannes Hahn, a warm welcome in Ankara last week when the two sides spoke of a “new start” in the accession process.“It was members of the government who were telling that us the EU path for Turkey was not so much about economic interests as about values and principles, starting from democracy and rule of law”, she said.“The idea was, and I would say still is, to work in a consistent and coherent way on European accession”.EU foreign ministers will discuss Turkey enlargement at a general affairs council in Brussels on Tuesday.Compliance with EU norms aside, Turkey is an EU and Nato strategic ally in the fight against Islamist radicals in Iraq and Syria.
It is also an energy ally.Gas pipelines
The EU is building a new gas pipeline to Azerbaijan via Turkey and will need Turkish co-operation if it is to build a second pipeline from Israel via Cyprus.Both projects are designed to reduce dependence on Russia. But Turkey last month said it might host a competing Russian pipeline as well.The EU on Monday continued to heap criticism on Erdogan despite the delicate situation.Some members of the ruling VVD party in the Netherlands said the bloc should stop paying the €600 million a year which Turkey gets in pre-accession aid.European Parliament president Martin Schulz, at the opening of a new session in Strasbourg, also called on the Turkish ambassador to the EU to give him an explanation.“We are concerned that the latest developments signal a dangerous stance towards critical media”, he said.
EARTH WORSHIP
DEUTERONOMY 17:3-4
3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
DEUTORONOMY 4:15-19
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
2 KINGS 23:5
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Lima summit avoids collapse of difficult climate talks-15.12.14 @ 09:34-euobserver-By Peter Teffer
Brussels - International climate talks in Lima saw the adoption of an agreement on Sunday (14 December) on the next steps to take to achieve a climate treaty in Paris in 2015.The agreement, which was reached 33 hours after the summit officially ended, means that an outright collapse of the talks was avoided, but the deal has received a mixed assessment.Those praising the accord note that it is the first time that all 195 countries – rich and poor – taking part in the climate negotiations have agreed to reducing greenhouse gases.Under the previous climate agreement, the Kyoto Protocol from 1997, it was mostly the developed countries that committed to action to reduce the effect of industrialisation on the warming of the planet.After Lima, all nations - in some way - will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.But critics note that the final version of the Lima text is not as enforceable as some had hoped, with more options for countries to avoid doing their part.The Paris approach takes a bottom-up instead of a top-down approach. Countries decide themselves how much they will reduce greenhouse gases, their so-called 'nationally determined contributions'. A 31 March 2015 deadline for all countries to make their contributions public has been watered down to “well in advance” of the December 2015 summit in Paris. The 31 March deadline now only applies to “those parties ready to do so”.The Lima accord also lacks obligatory formatting of those contributions - which would make it easier to compare them.Countries are no longer required to take measures to ensure “clarity, transparency and understanding” of their climate goals.Meanwhile a thorough assessment of all countries' contributions before the Paris summit has evolved into a UN analysis that will be published on 1 November 2015, just a month before the Paris meeting.
EU wanted more
The European Commission and the EU's member states praised the fact that a deal had been reached.EU climate commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said “although the EU wanted a more ambitious outcome from Lima, we believe that we are on track to agree a global deal in Paris next year”.“Although this was a difficult conference, it is important to maintain the spirit of optimism and political momentum that brought us to Lima”, the Italian environment minister Gian Luca Galletti said, on behalf of the member states.The European Parliament was more critical, calling it a “minimalistic” deal that “represents the lowest common denominator”.“Despite some progress in Lima, there are still many stumbling blocks on the way”, said socialist MEP Jo Leinen, who was present at the talks.In a blog post, Scottish conservative MEP Ian Duncan, a member of the parliament's environment committee, said that “the emergence of any deal at all is positive; things were looking pretty desperate at various points in the week”.But he noted that the comparability of contributions and the possibility to be more ambitious, had not been achieved.“The text does allow for publication of the commitments, but there is no clause allowing the material to be returned to sender, and no prospect of the commitments being revised in advance of Paris. This is a significant defeat for the EU”, he wrote.Climate representatives will gather again in Geneva in February for a lower-level technical meeting.

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Over the past century—despite the march of secularism—the Vatican's role in world affairs has expanded. In 1890 a famous English Catholic, Cardinal Manning, said the Holy See's diplomatic activities were “a mere pageant”, a medieval relic. He would be amazed to find that in 2007 papal diplomacy is more active than ever.The real explosion came under John Paul II. When he was elected in 1978, the Holy See had full ties with 85 states. When he died, the figure was 174 states.Today the Vatican has political relations with 190 nation states.
Why do cardinals in Vatican City wear red? and bishops wear purple? and priest wear black?
The Cardinals are Bishops, they wear the color crimson red to represent the blood of the martyrs who died for Christ. They are also referred as the Princes of Blood.The Bishops wear the color purple to symbolize royalty, because of their position within the Church. They also wear the color black to symbolize poverty.Priest (Presbyters) wear the color black to symbolizes poverty.
In the early Church, no distinctive garb seems to have been worn, except of course liturgical vestments, which in some cases were also worn outside the celebration of sacraments. For instance, sometimes bishops and priests wore the chasuble like regular clothing, as did the deacons with the dalmatic.By the 6th century clerics and nobility retained the traditional Roman style of clothing of a long tunic and cloak. The male laity began wearing a short tunic, breeches, and mantle — clothing introduced by the barbarian tribes. Also at this time (6th century) the cassock as we know it originated in France and was given the Latin name "pillicia" (or "pelisse" in early French), meaning skin or hide. The name signifies that the long tunic was lined with fur to provide warmth, sorely needed in the unheated stone churches, especially during the winter season. However, others besides clerics wore these garments.Source:Catholic

More Motions Filed to Cancel Terrorists' Citizenship-Three terrorists' residency statuses at stake, Interior Minister Gilad Erdan says, including man responsible for 2012 Tel Aviv bus bomb.By Shlomo Pitrikovsky-First Publish: 12/16/2014, 2:10 PM-israelnationalnews
Interior Minister Gilad Erdan has filed a formal request to Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to allow the citizenship of three Israelis involved in terror attacks to be revoked, he announced Tuesday afternoon."Imagine sitting at home, and then someone breaks in and starts smashing windows, breaking furniture and destroying your china," he explained. "In the end he even sits down and asks for a cup of coffee and cake. Weird, is not it? That's pretty much the situation with terrorists Arab citizens of Israel. and certainly it is time to end it.""Today I asked the attorney general to submit my name in a report to repeal the citizenship of three Israeli civilians, who were involved in attacks and acts of terror against Israel," he continued. "My request is based on Article 11 of the Citizenship Law, according to which the Minister of Interior may apply to the court to cancel the Israeli citizenship for civilians who have been deemed to have been guilty of a breach of trust."Those three terrorists include Muhammed Faraj, who was involved in a Tel Aviv bus bombing in 2012; and arch-terrorists Dorgam Mahaj'na and Orsan Assad, who have been involved directly and indirectly in terrorist acts."Anyone involved in terrorism and anyone who commits serious crimes against the people of Israel for nationalistic reasons cannot continue to carry Israeli citizenship and enjoy the rights that come with it," Erdan said. "Anyone who thinks to engage in terrorism should also know that he will not enjoy the benefits of the state and its citizens.""It is important to clarify that Jewish citizens in similar cases will be exposed to these measures and sanctions," he added.The Interior Minister announced recently that he was examining the possibility of expanding his powers to expel Arab terrorists from Jerusalem, precisely by revoking their residency permits.Last month, he cancelled the permanent residency status of Mahmoud Nadi, the driver for the suicide bomber responsible for the bombing at the Dolphinarium Disco in Tel Aviv in June 2001. That attack killed 21 people and wounded over 100 others.Weeks later, he also expelled Nadia Abu Jamal, the wife of one of the two Arab terrorists who attacked a Har Nof synagogue in Jerusalem, murdering four Jews at prayer and a police officer, on similar grounds.
Poll: Most Palestinian Arabs Support Recent Terror Wave-An overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs support the recent spate of terrorist attacks against Israelis, new poll finds.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 12/10/2014, 4:14 AM-israelnationalnews
An overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs support the recent spate of terrorist attacks against Israelis, an opinion poll released Tuesday finds, according to The Associated Press (AP).The poll also found that more than half of Palestinian Arabs support a new “intifada” (uprising) against Israel, and that Hamas would win presidential elections if they were held today.Palestinian Arab pollster Khalil Shikaki said the results reflected anger over Israeli statements about Jerusalem, as well as a loss of hope following the collapse of U.S.-brokered peace talks and Israel's recent war with Hamas in Gaza.Shikaki heads the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, which interviewed 1,270 people in the Palestinian Authority-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria and Gaza last week. The poll had an error margin of 3 percentage points."There is an environment in which violence is becoming a dominant issue," Shikaki told AP. "This seems to be one of the most important driving forces."There has been a spate of attacks in Jerusalem over the past month and a half, at a time of rising tensions over the Temple Mount. The wave of attacks has come to be known as the “silent intifada”.The poll found 86 percent of respondents believe the Al-Aqsa mosque is in “grave danger” from Israel. It said 80 percent supported individual attacks by Arabs who have stabbed Israelis or rammed cars into crowded train stations.Islamists have been regularly clashing with Israeli police on the Temple Mount and escalated a campaign of harassment against Jewish visitors, who are already under severe restrictions due to Muslim pressure. The violence reached a peak with the recent attempted murder of prominent Jewish Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick.Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has blamed Israel for the ongoing tensions in Jerusalem.
Yishai Break Splits Shas Electorate Power in Half-Poll shows Yishai's new Yachad party gets four seats, leaves Shas with four, amid speculation of Yachad union with nationalist parties.By Hezki Ezra, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 12/16/2014, 4:27 PM-israelnationalnews
After former Shas chairperson Eli Yishai split with the hareidi party over steep demands by chairperson Aryeh Deri and launched his own Yachad party on Monday, a new poll on Tuesday shows Yachad and Shas stand even at four mandates apiece. Shas currently has 11 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.The poll, conducted by Panels Politics for the Knesset Channel, shows Likud and Labor which recently joined with Hatnua neck and neck at 22 mandates each. Coming in third would be Jewish Home at 15 mandates - it remains to be seen precisely how a possible Tekuma faction break from the party would affect the results.Three parties tie for fourth largest, with Moshe Kahlon's Kulanu, Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid and the three Arab parties all together each getting ten seats.Yisrael Beytenu comes next with nine seats, and hareidi United Torah Judaism would get seven seats as would the far-left Meretz party.As noted, a particularly interesting development indicated by the survey is that Yishai's new Yachad party would get four seats, matching Shas.There has also been speculation over the past several days as to whether Yishai might be considering a joint list with Uri Ariel's National Union party - currently a faction within the Jewish Home party - due to tensions between Ariel and Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett. Neither side has officially commented on the issue, however.It has also been suggested the two could join forces with the Otzma Yehudit party to create a nationalist religious bloc that would be a force to be reckoned with in the Knesset. Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir of Otzma Yehudit told Arutz Sheva on Monday that for now talk of such a union is simply rumors and there have been no talks yet, but said his party would be open to cooperation.

12/15/2014 -VATICAN INSIDER-“China will continue to hold constructive dialogue with the Holy See”-China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang-This statement came from China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang today. It was in answer to journalists’ questions regarding the audience the Pope denied the Dalai Lama-andrea tornielli
rome-China is always “sincere” about improving relations with Vatican, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang at a press conference today.In response to a question about Francis’ decision not to receive the Dalai Lama in audience last week, Qin said China has "noticed" the Holy See's attitude. He then went on to say that "China will continue to hold constructive dialogue with the Holy See," Qin said, adding that "we hope Vatican will make joint efforts with China so that the two sides can meet each other halfway to improve bilateral relations."China does not have two Churches as many news commentators keep on claiming. Almost all bishops are in communion with Rome, even those who were previously ordained without a papal mandate. The big problem now is agreeing on a procedure for nominating bishops.Last week, the Holy See Press Office clarified that although Francis feels great “esteem” for the Tibetan Buddhist leader, he would not be receiving him or any of the other Nobel Laureates in audience.There was no papal audience with the Dalai Lama because as he himself stated: “The Vatican administration says it’s not possible because it could cause inconveniences.” By “inconveniences” he was clearly referring to the Holy See’s relationship with the Chinese government which is currently going through a very delicate - a crucial in fact - phase. In recent weeks China appeared to be reaching out to the Vatican, signalling a willingness for dialogue.

rome-Pope Francis received the new Canadian Ambassador to the Holy See, Dennis Savoie, on Monday morning, Vatican Radio reports. During the meeting, Ambassador Savoie presented the Pope with his credentials, which marked the start of the diplomat’s four-year term.“It was a very humbling experience,” said Ambassador Savoie about his meeting with the Pope. “I felt very privileged to have been received by the Holy Father. I met a man who is very, very simple, very personable, makes you feel at ease right away. It was a very, very good meeting.”In an interview with Vatican Radio, Ambassador Savoie said his “first priority” is to establish a network within which to identify areas for possible collaboration between Canada and the Holy See.“What I’ve already started doing in the past couple of months … is to establish a network within the area of the Holy See and government to try to, together, try to identify in what areas both countries, so to speak, could collaborate for the betterment of humanity,” he said.The new ambassador, who fills a post that had been empty for more than a year, said he also looks forward to working with other ambassadors in Rome on issues of common concern, Vatican Radio adds.“Some of them are very focused in certain areas which I’m interested in, whether it’s social justice, whether it’s immigration or religious liberties,” he said.Ambassador Savoie was born in Tracadie, New Brunswick, one of Canada’s eastern provinces, on 9 February 1945. He comes to Rome after a 27-year career with the New Brunswick Power Corporation, where he became vice president, and upon retirement, four years as executive director of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes.Vatican Radio describes him as a committed Catholic and informs that he has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1973. He later served as the Deputy Supreme Knight in New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States, from 2006 to 2013.This is his first diplomatic assignment.

Russian rouble in free fall over oil price, EU sanctions--Today @ 09:29-euobserver-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - In a surprise announcement on Monday (15 December), the Russian central bank said it would raise its key interest rate to 17 percent from 10.5 percent.The move is aimed at shoring up the tumbling currency as the Russian economy feels the pain of a low oil price - oil and gas are Russia's main exports - combined with US and EU sanctions over Russian involvement in the Ukrainian war.
It is the highest interest rate increase since 1998, when the Russian currency collapsed and the government defaulted on its debt, sending ripples throughout financial markets around the world.“This decision is aimed at limiting substantially increased ruble depreciation risks and inflation risks,” the central bank said in a statement after its impromptu meeting.The rouble lost 9.7 percent to 64.4 per US dollar on Monday alone, after having slid almost 50 percent this year in comparison to the dollar. One euro now buys 77 roubles, compared to 45 roubles in January.About half of Russia's budget revenues come from oil and gas taxes and a quarter of its GDP is linked to the energy industry.With the oil price having started to fall from above 100 US dollars a barrel in June to 60 dollars now, Russia's economy is feeling the pinch. On top of this comes the closed access to EU and US capital markets as part of the joint sanctions.The central bank in Moscow expects the economy to contract by 4.5 to 4.7 percent next year if oil prices remain this low.With the US and its ally Saudi Arabia determining the oil price, it is likely the squeeze will continue until Russian President Vladimir Putin reverses his course in Ukraine.So far, he has kept a defiant stance and has offered amnesty to Russians who bring money - no matter how it was earned - back into their country.Other forms of 'patriotic' support appear in hipster Moscow shops, with tshirts displaying the message "I support the rouble," as AP's Moscow correspondent has tweeted.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
EZEKIEL 39:1-4
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Erdogan speech indicates deep rift with EU-Today @ 08:43-euobserver-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told the EU to “mind its own business” on free press, marking an ever-deeper rift in relations.He made the comments at a speech in the Tupras oil refinery outside Istanbul on Monday (15 December) after European officials criticised his latest arrests of opposition-linked journalists.“They cry press freedom, but they [the arrests] have nothing to do with this … We have no concern about what the EU might say, whether the EU accepts us as members or not, we have no such concern. Please keep your wisdom to yourself”, he said.“The EU should not intervene in acts taken by the police and judiciary against entities that jeopardise our national security. It should mind its own business”. Erdogan described the journalists as a fifth column trying to hold back progress in Turkey, indicating that the purge will continue.“Elements that threaten our national security, whether it’s a member of the press, or this, or that, will get the proper response”, he said.His speech, part of which was broadcast on TV, went on to complain that Turkey has been “waiting for 50 years at the EU’s door”.He also accused Germany of appeasing the PKK, a Kurdish militant group, and of failing to investigate killings of ethnic Turks on its territory.Erodgan is known for his provocative rhetoric: He recently said that women are not equal to men and that Westerners secretly hate Muslims.
Council debate on Tuesday
The EU has in the past also criticised his crackdowns while continuing talks on accession and visa-free travel.But the Tupras remarks made an immediate impact on market confidence in future ties, with the Turkish lira losing 4 percent of its value against the US dollar.For her part, EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini said she was “very surprised” by Erdogan’s comments.She noted that Turkey had given her and her colleague, enlargement commissioner Johannes Hahn, a warm welcome in Ankara last week when the two sides spoke of a “new start” in the accession process.“It was members of the government who were telling that us the EU path for Turkey was not so much about economic interests as about values and principles, starting from democracy and rule of law”, she said.“The idea was, and I would say still is, to work in a consistent and coherent way on European accession”.EU foreign ministers will discuss Turkey enlargement at a general affairs council in Brussels on Tuesday.Compliance with EU norms aside, Turkey is an EU and Nato strategic ally in the fight against Islamist radicals in Iraq and Syria.
It is also an energy ally.Gas pipelines
The EU is building a new gas pipeline to Azerbaijan via Turkey and will need Turkish co-operation if it is to build a second pipeline from Israel via Cyprus.Both projects are designed to reduce dependence on Russia. But Turkey last month said it might host a competing Russian pipeline as well.The EU on Monday continued to heap criticism on Erdogan despite the delicate situation.Some members of the ruling VVD party in the Netherlands said the bloc should stop paying the €600 million a year which Turkey gets in pre-accession aid.European Parliament president Martin Schulz, at the opening of a new session in Strasbourg, also called on the Turkish ambassador to the EU to give him an explanation.“We are concerned that the latest developments signal a dangerous stance towards critical media”, he said.
EARTH WORSHIP
DEUTERONOMY 17:3-4
3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
DEUTORONOMY 4:15-19
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
2 KINGS 23:5
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Lima summit avoids collapse of difficult climate talks-15.12.14 @ 09:34-euobserver-By Peter Teffer
Brussels - International climate talks in Lima saw the adoption of an agreement on Sunday (14 December) on the next steps to take to achieve a climate treaty in Paris in 2015.The agreement, which was reached 33 hours after the summit officially ended, means that an outright collapse of the talks was avoided, but the deal has received a mixed assessment.Those praising the accord note that it is the first time that all 195 countries – rich and poor – taking part in the climate negotiations have agreed to reducing greenhouse gases.Under the previous climate agreement, the Kyoto Protocol from 1997, it was mostly the developed countries that committed to action to reduce the effect of industrialisation on the warming of the planet.After Lima, all nations - in some way - will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.But critics note that the final version of the Lima text is not as enforceable as some had hoped, with more options for countries to avoid doing their part.The Paris approach takes a bottom-up instead of a top-down approach. Countries decide themselves how much they will reduce greenhouse gases, their so-called 'nationally determined contributions'. A 31 March 2015 deadline for all countries to make their contributions public has been watered down to “well in advance” of the December 2015 summit in Paris. The 31 March deadline now only applies to “those parties ready to do so”.The Lima accord also lacks obligatory formatting of those contributions - which would make it easier to compare them.Countries are no longer required to take measures to ensure “clarity, transparency and understanding” of their climate goals.Meanwhile a thorough assessment of all countries' contributions before the Paris summit has evolved into a UN analysis that will be published on 1 November 2015, just a month before the Paris meeting.
EU wanted more
The European Commission and the EU's member states praised the fact that a deal had been reached.EU climate commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said “although the EU wanted a more ambitious outcome from Lima, we believe that we are on track to agree a global deal in Paris next year”.“Although this was a difficult conference, it is important to maintain the spirit of optimism and political momentum that brought us to Lima”, the Italian environment minister Gian Luca Galletti said, on behalf of the member states.The European Parliament was more critical, calling it a “minimalistic” deal that “represents the lowest common denominator”.“Despite some progress in Lima, there are still many stumbling blocks on the way”, said socialist MEP Jo Leinen, who was present at the talks.In a blog post, Scottish conservative MEP Ian Duncan, a member of the parliament's environment committee, said that “the emergence of any deal at all is positive; things were looking pretty desperate at various points in the week”.But he noted that the comparability of contributions and the possibility to be more ambitious, had not been achieved.“The text does allow for publication of the commitments, but there is no clause allowing the material to be returned to sender, and no prospect of the commitments being revised in advance of Paris. This is a significant defeat for the EU”, he wrote.Climate representatives will gather again in Geneva in February for a lower-level technical meeting.
