Headline: Pope Francis to be Tried by Sanhedrin
A re-established and self declared Israeli Sanhedrin, the religious High Court composed of 71 sages, has declared that it is putting Pope Francis on trial unless he retracts his statement that the Jews have no right to the land of Israel or to Jerusalem. In February 2013, the Vatican officially recognized the “State of Palestine” but more significantly, the Vatican signed a treaty in June with “Palestine” in which the Holy See switched its diplomatic relations from the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the “State of Palestine”. This treaty is the first legal document negotiated between the Holy See and the Palestinian state and as such, constitutes an official recognition. The trial and judgment will be on September 20th, 2015. If Pope Francis chooses to ignore the summons, he will be judged in absentia. The Sanhedrin sent a letter to Pope Francis in reaction to the Vatican’s recent support of the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral moves to declare themselves a nation, reported the Hebrew magazine Matzav Haruach on June 24.

Headline: Israel merges IDF elite units to form the new Commando Brigade tailored to combat ISIS
While US president Barack Obama coined his approach to the struggle against the Islamic State with the words: “Ideologies are not defeated by guns. They’re defeated with better ideas.” – Israel and its military leaders are taking no chances against a declared enemy. Last Friday, July 3, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s Sinai branch fired three Grad missiles across the border into the Israeli Eshkol district, while it was in mid-offensive against the Egyptian army in North Sinai. Large parts of southern Israel next door had already been declared closed military areas in consequence of that offensive. ISIS and its affiliates, while currently preoccupied with snatching up territory from countries neighboring Israel, make no secret of their intention, confirmed by military intelligence, to reach Israel’s northern, eastern and southern borders before long. Monday, July 6, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkott unveiled Israel’s answer to the coming challenge. It is a unique, multi-purpose commando ground force, especially tailored to fight ISIS and provide the “boots on the ground” which the US-led coalition has kept back from the Islamists’ constantly expanding warfront. It will be trained and armed for extraordinary missions outside routine military tasks. The revelation was something of a wake-up call for the general Israeli population. The new force’s short term tasks are to guard southern and northern Israel against hostile rocket fire and attempts by Islamist groups riding captured armored carriers to storm the border.

Headline: Gaza Salafi leader seeks reconciliation with Hamas
***Please pay particular attention to this news
A Salafi leader in the Gaza Strip outlined the details of a détente between Hamas and more radical Gaza-based jihadist groups on Tuesday, claiming that Hamas was studying his proposal. Sheikh Issam Saleh, a former leader of the militant Islamist group Jaish al-Islam, convened a press conference in Gaza City to announce the establishment of a reconciliation committee to mitigate the mounting tension between Hamas and local fundamentalist groups vying for power. In a draft proposal published by the Jerusalem-based daily al-Quds, Saleh — a respected leader who has taught in Yemen, Sudan and Egypt — asked Hamas to release Salafi prisoners held in jail, and designate specific areas within the Gaza Strip for military training and “jihad activity.” Hamas has intensified its crackdown on Salafi jihadist groups in recent weeks in a bid to placate the Egyptian regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who is combating Islamic State-affiliated militants in the northern Sinai Peninsula. Hamas also considers the local armed groups a potential threat to its rule in Gaza and an ideological challenge to its more pragmatic version of political Islam. “We live together in one place and must cooperate. This is a religious matter,” he told the press. Saleh went on to condemn “internal explosions” carried out in Gaza by the Salafis, and “torture that runs counter to Islam,” carried out by Hamas. He denied ties between Gaza jihadists and members of the Islamic State in nearby Sinai, alleged by the Egyptian press. “Most of the mujahideen in Gaza have no connection to Sinai,” he argued. “The brothers in Sinai cause trouble with the Egyptian government, and here [in Gaza] Salafi jihadists operate against the Jews.”

Headline: Hamas alleges mass arrests, torture by Palestinian Authority
Following threats made by Hamas leaders over the past few days, the Palestinian Authority on Sunday warned the group against launching terror attacks against members of the PA security forces in the West Bank. Hamas’s threats followed the arrest of more than 120 of its members by various branches of the PA security forces in the West Bank in recent days. The PA justified the crackdown – the most severe against Hamas in recent years – by accusing the Islamist movement of working to undermine stability and stir chaos.
Gen. Adnan Dmeiri, spokesman for the PA security forces in the West Bank, warned that Hamas would face the “unimaginable” if it dared to carry out terror attacks against Palestinian security personnel. “I hope that Hamas won’t test our patience, capabilities and love for our people,” he said. Dmeiri added that there was no difference between the rhetoric used by Hamas and Islamic State. He accused Hamas leaders of incitement against PA President Mahmoud Abbas and PA security forces.

Headline: Ramadan Terror Continues in Israel’s Capital
Following a sharp increase in Arab violence in Jerusalem over the past month, Palestinian criminals adopted a new tactic: arson. Over the weekend, three Molotov cocktails, believed to have been thrown by perpetrators from the Palestinian village of Qattana near the Jewish Kibbutz of Ma’aleh HaHamisha, caused a major forest fire that burned over 100 acres in the Jerusalem hills. According to Fire and Rescue Services, the firebombs were thrown at the separation fence between the Palestinian village and the Kibbutz. Jerusalem Police have opened an investigation into this attack as well as two previous attacks, but so far no arrests have been made. Fire fighters from both Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem were working around the clock on Thursday to put out a fire near the Kibbutz, again on Friday to quelch a different fire also started by arson near Kibbutz Tzora, and then again on Saturday to put out a third fire in the area, again by Ma’aleh Hahamisha. “It’s very difficult, the firefighters are wiped out – not just those on duty are working, but many are also called in from home,” said Beit Shemesh Fire Chief Reuven Yitzhak.

Jordan
Headline: Is Iran seeking to foment chaos in Jordan?
Former Pentagon official to ‘Post’: To many, news that an Iranian operative was arrested came as a surprise, but it shouldn’t have. With Iran controlling two Arab states bordering Jordan, the Kingdom has become a suitable target for expanding influence and unrest in the Arab world. By gaining a foothold in Jordan, it would give the Iranian led Shi’ite axis another border from which to target Israel. Iranian funded proxies are already present in Israel’s north in Lebanon and Syria and in Gaza to the south. The Jordanian media reported this week that the country’s security forces arrested an Iranian operative allegedly planning a terror attack in the Kingdom. A source at the Iranian foreign ministry strongly denied the report published in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Rai on Monday, calling it “baseless,” according to a report in the semi-official Iranian Fars News Agency. The Shi’ite led government to Jordan’s east in Iraq and the Iranian allied regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad to the north provide launching pads for covert operations in the Kingdom. However, Prof. Hillel Frisch of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University told The Jerusalem Post that “the timing in publicizing terrorist plots is almost invariably a political decision.” “Jordan’s decision to announce Iranian involvement in a terrorist plot on the eve of the final deadline negotiations between the 5+1 and Iran is a stellar example of how politics influences such decisions,” asserted Frisch. “Jordan’s message is crystal clear: President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry are completely wrong to think that by engaging Iran, the regime will transform into a status quo state.”

Headline: Hezbollah losses mount in Zabadani
Headline: Hezbollah withdraws from Syrian border city under rebels’ fire
Hezbollah casualties have mounted in the fierce back-and-forth fighting in Zabadani, as conflicting reports touting advances by both pro-regime and rebel forces in the strategic Syrian border town have emerged. “Preliminary information indicates that Hezbollah has advanced in northwest Zabadani’s Zahraa district, losing four of its fighters in the latest clashes,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday morning. The monitoring NGO has recorded at least 8 Hezbollah casualties since the Zabadani offensive began on Sunday. Although pro-Hezbollah media reported that the party’s fighters and Syrian troops were advancing in Zabadani, pro-opposition outlets insisted that rebels had forced Hezbollah out of the Al-Jamaiyat district in the western part of the town. Al-Souria Net reported late Tuesday that the clashes in Zabadani had intensified, leaving dozens of regime and Hezbollah fighters dead and injured. “Fighting is taking place on a number of fronts, most fiercely on the Al-Jamaiyat front [in western Zabadani] where groups of Hezbollah fighters have fled under rebel fire,” media activist Fares al-Arabi told the outlet. ARA News, in turn, quoted rebel sources as saying that the armed opposition in Zabadani had managed to recapture the Al-Jamaiyat district on Tuesday as well as “two Syrian regime-held checkpoints in the vicinity of the city.” The SOHR, for its part, said Tuesday that militants had been able to recapture two buildings originally taken by Hezbollah and regime forces, without elaborating further.

It is the largest foreign investment in Russia. “We have reached final agreements and are announcing the creation of a partnership with the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia, under which PIF will invest $10 billion into projects on Russian territory. These funds are expected to be implemented within 4-5 years,” said the head of RDIF Kirill Dmitriev, RIA Novosti reported on Tuesday. He said the first four or five investment deals are expected to be signed in the next 2-3 months and could also attract partners from China, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. The Russian Investment Fund plans to implement 10 deals with PIF before the end of 2015, seven of them are in the final stages. The new partnership may use the mechanism of automatic co-investment, already tested in the framework of the Russian-Chinese Investment Fund.

The delegation also hailed the accomplishments achieved at the security and economic levels, the spokesman said. Sisi told the delegation that the danger of terrorism in Sinai has to be countered, warning of its repercussions not only on Egypt but on the entire region. He also said the cycle of violence and terrorism was not restricted to the Middle East region but has expanded to other countries in Africa, according to Arab Today.

Judicial sources confirmed that the explosion did not inflict any damage on the court building. Elsewhere in Egypt’s northern town of Faqus, unidentified assailants stormed a security checkpoint on Tuesday morning, injuring a policeman. The attackers later fled the scene onboard a motorcycle. Sources, speaking anonymously, said security personnel lave launched an operation to hunt down the gunmen.

Syria Headline: Nusra Front Suicide Bomber Kills 25 Soldiers in Aleppo
A suicide bomber from the Al-Nusra Front terrorist group, Syria’s Al-Qaeda offshoot, blew himself up in a Syrian army outpost in a contested neighborhood in the city of Aleppo on Monday night. The bombing killed at least 25 soldiers and allied militia and injured scores, according to the Reuters news agency. The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the violence across the country, said the explosion from the blast was heard across the city where several Islamist-led groups recently launched an offensive to control the remaining western parts of the city in government hands. Rebel websites said there was heavy bombardment of rebel-held portions of Jamiyat al Zahra district, where rebels had gained ground and brought them closer to the heart of government controlled parts of the city, which was before the 2011 civil war the country’s main industrial and commercial hub. Rami Abdul Rahman, head of the Observatory, was quoted by Reuters as having said that the Syrian army had responded with heavy firepower including aerial bombardment, in an attempt to stem the offensive.

Syria Headline: ISIS Hackers Take Down Human Rights Monitor’s Website
Hackers claiming to be affiliated with the Islamic State terror group took down the website of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor on Wednesday and threatened its director, AFP reported. The group calling itself the Cyber Army of the Khilafah (Caliphate) replaced the front page of the war monitor’s site with a photoshopped image of the Observatory’s director and text threatening him. The Observatory is a Britain-based monitor of the war in Syria, and one of the few groups that has reported on violations by all sides in the conflict and documented its ongoing death toll. A screenshot of the hacked website provided by the Observatory showed an image of director Rami Abdel Rahman’s face photoshopped onto the body of an ISIS hostage dressed in orange and seemingly about to be beheaded by a knife-wielding jihadist. The text claims that the “Cyber Army of the Khilafah broke into the computer systems of SOHR… seized control of its website, destroying it, and wiping out the data.” Abdel Rahman confirmed the hackers had destroyed data on the Observatory’s servers, but said “we have a copy of all the information that has been published and until the site is back up, we will publish on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.”

Headline: German Patriot Missiles in Turkey Hacked, Raising Terrorism Fears
German-owned Patriot missiles stationed on Turkey’s Syrian border have been briefly hacked, according to reports in the German media. The nature of the technology hack, and the culprits, are unknown. The American-made anti-aircraft missiles were stationed in Turkey by Germany to protect their Nato ally, The Local has reported. According to civil service magazine Behorden Speigel, the missile system carried out “unexplained” commands. It reports that the missiles are susceptible to hacking in the “digital space”, as commands are broadcast from the command centre to the missile in real time. Alternately, the microchips which run the system could have been tampered with. Although the missiles are American built, the chips are manufactured in Asia, raising concerns for their security. The two weaknesses potentially leave the missile system open to both being taken over by an alternate operator, and to espionage.

Headline: Syria president ratifies $1bn credit line from Iran
It has been said that truth is stranger than fiction, and indeed it would be hard to imagine scripting the signing of a nuclear deal with the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism on the very day that this regime holds an annual global protest calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. And yet that plot twist is fully set to happen, as Iran’s “Death to Israel Day,” officially known as Quds Day or Jerusalem Day, will take place this Friday July 10 – bizarrely timed to coincide with the newly re-extended deadline for a final deal on Iran’s nuclear program. American officials said Tuesday that the latest extension on the deadline will be the last, indicating that there is a great likelihood that calls to destroy Israel will echo Iranian celebrations of a deal that Israel and other critics see as paving the Islamic regime’s path to a nuclear arsenal. Quds Day is held annually on the final Friday of the Muslim fast month of Ramadan. It was instituted on August 7, 1979 by then-Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini just after the Islamic Revolution, as a day of solidarity against the “usurper Israel.”

Headline: South Sudan rebel warns president of more fighting if he stays on
South Sudan’s rebel leader warned on Wednesday of renewed fighting, saying President Salva Kiir’s new three-year mandate was illegal and the people had the right to “rise up and overthrow his regime” if he stayed on. Riek Machar made his statement in the capital of neighboring Kenya as South Sudan’s parliament speaker formally extended Kiir’s term for three more years, as approved by lawmakers in a March vote. Rebels say parliament did not have the right to take such action, in a nation that has been mired in conflict since December 2013. “Should President Kiir remain adamant and refuse to hand over power to the people, then the citizens have every right to rise up and overthrow his regime,” Machar said, adding Kiir’s term ended from midnight on July 8. “This is not an elected president. This is a coup leader,” he said. Fighting between forces loyal to Kiir and rebels allied with Machar plunged South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, into a civil war in December 2013. South Sudan will mark four years of independence from Sudan on Thursday.

In images shared on social media, IS showed its fighters tearing down Libya’s independence flag in the town and raising a number of black Jihadi flags in their place. In a separate video, IS’s branch in western Libya, the “State of Tripoli” showed a series of still photographs of its militants imposing order in the city and then, ominously, a later video of a number of boats anchored in Sirte’s harbour. IS has said it hopes to use Libyan ports to cross the Mediterranean posing as migrants and the wreak havoc on mainland Europe. Leaders within Libya’s internationally recognised government have warned IS could use its access to smuggling networks and ports to traffic fighters into Europe.

Tunisia’s government said it will build a wall along its border with Libya to prevent the infiltration of Islamist fighters following a beach front attack that killed 38 tourists. The wall, that will cover about a third of the 500km (310 mile) border, will be ready by the end of the year, Tunisian prime minister Habib Essid said in a television interview on Tuesday. The government has already started construction, said Essid, although he warned that protecting the border would be “difficult, very difficult.” While Tunisia has escaped the worst of the unrest that swept through Libya, Syria and Egypt since 2011, the violence is hurting an economy struggling to recover after the Arab Spring uprising that toppled president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The barrier is one of the measures Tunisia has announced to counter the threat of Islamic militancy that has targeted the tourism sector, which accounts for about 7 per cent of the country’s economy. A month-long state of emergency was declared on July 4th.

At least 18 people have been killed in clashes between Arabs and Berbers around the Algerian desert town of Ghardaia, with several businesses and homes burned down, medical sources and state media said Wednesday. The violence broke out over the weekend, with security forces sending reinforcements in a bid to calm renewed clashes that intensified Monday and Tuesday night. “Fifteen people died of wounds last night,” a source at a local hospital told Reuters. Three people had died Monday, mainly in the small town of Guerrara, near Ghardaia, state media said. Ghardaia, around 600 km (370 miles) from Algiers, is home to both Arabs and the Mozabite Berber community, which speaks its own language and follows its own school of Islam. The area has often been a flashpoint for clashes as Arabs and Mozabites compete for jobs, houses and land. Interior Minister Noureddine Bedoui arrived in Ghardaia early Wednesday, as tribal leaders called for “vigilance and wisdom,” the official APS news agency reported. About 30 people were also wounded, including seven seriously, in the past two days, while several businesses, houses and cars were burned, medical and local sources said. The clashes were the worst in recent years.

A bomb blast has ripped through a government office in northern Nigeria, killing at least 25 people and injuring some others. Local Nigerian officials said the powerful explosion took place in northern city of Zaria in Kaduna state at about 9:00 am (0800 GMT) on Tuesday. “I am sad to confirm that an IED (improvised explosive device) most likely carried by a suicide bomber exploded in the Sabon Gari LG (local government district) and killed 25 people, including a two-year-old,” Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai said on Facebook. Witnesses said the blast targeted primary school teachers and public sector workers, who were queuing for identity checks. No individual or group has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly attack. However, the Nigerian government usually blames Takfiri Boko Haram militants for similar incidents. The latest attack comes after two bomb explosions targeted a mosque and a restaurant in the Nigerian central city of Jos Sunday night, killing 44 people.

Boko Haram has stepped up assaults in recent weeks across the region in what appears to be a fight back against an offensive mounted by soldiers from Nigeria and its neighbors, Chad, Cameroon and Niger. “The two villages were attacked by surprise on Saturday and Sunday night. There were 13 dead in each attack,” said a Chadian official who declined to be named. Merom village was attacked on Saturday by armed men who slit the throats of their victims and burned houses before fleeing, the source said. Other local officials gave similar accounts. Militants also attacked a group of camel herders at the village of Tiskra, cutting 13 people’s throats before fleeing when guards of the village chief opened fire, the source said.

Headline: 30 killed in Yemeni army mutiny
At least one person has been killed and five others wounded in an ISIL Takfiri terrorist bomb attack on a Shia mosque in Yemeni capital city Sana’a. A “bomb-rigged car” exploded outside the al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sana’a as worshipers were leaving after prayers, AFP quoted security officials as saying on Tuesday. The blast and casualties have been confirmed by local Yemeni medical and security sources. ISIL, which has seized parts of land in Iraq, Syria and other countries, claimed responsibility for the attack several hours after it occurred. Meanwhile, Yemen’s government told the United Nations on Wednesday that it agreed to a conditional truce to end more than three months of fighting and hopes it can be implemented in the coming days, spokesman Rajeh Badi said. “The Yemeni authorities have informed the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon of its agreement to implement a truce in the coming days,” Badi told Reuters by phone from the government’s seat of exile in Saudi Arabia. Yemen’s President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the spokesman said, had set “guarantees” for a pause, including the release of prisoners by Yemen’s dominant Houthi group and their withdrawal from four provinces where they are fighting local militias.

Economic collapse Revelation 6:5-6 & Daniel 2:41-43– Decline of the Euro “ When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation) “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” (Daniel 2:41-43)
Headline: Final deadline for Greece, as EU prepares for Grexit
Headline: Greece Faces Euro Exit Unless Demands Accepted by Sunday
The Greek government has been given a “final deadline” until the end of the week to present a proposal of reforms, ahead of a meeting of all 28 EU leaders in Brussels on Sunday (12 July). But in a sign of the general pessimism following Tuesday’s meeting of euro leaders, the European Commission said it already has plans for how to deal with a Greek exit from the eurozone. “We have a Grexit scenario prepared in detail”, said commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, although he added that it is something he is “strongly against”. Referring to Athens’ key issue of debt relief and debt restructuring, Juncker said “debt-related issues” could be discussed in October, but first a plan of reforms is required. Meanwhile, German chancellor Angela Merkel ruled out any debt haircut for Greece. “Tonight many around the table, also myself, said a haircut will not happen. That is a bailout essentially within the eurozone and that is banned”, she said. The eurozone summit was called after 61 percent of Greek voters in a referendum last Sunday voted No to creditors’ reform proposals.

Headline: China stock market freezing up as sell-off gathers pace
A global stock market crash has begun. European stocks are crashing, Chinese stocks are crashing, and commodities are crashing. And guess what? All of those things happened before U.S. stocks crashed in the fall of 2008 too. In so many ways, it seems like we are watching a replay of the financial crisis of 2008, but this time around the world is in far worse shape financially. Global debt levels are at an all-time high, the 75 trillion dollar global shadow banking system could implode at any time, and there are hundreds of trillions of dollars in derivatives that threaten to wipe out major banks all over the planet. The last major worldwide financial crash was almost seven years ago, and very little has been done since that time to prepare for the next one. If global markets do not calm down, we could see carnage in the months ahead that is absolutely unprecedented.

And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation)
Headline: Study: New Strain Of Polio-Like Virus Leading To Paralysis In Children
LiveScience reports more than 100 children in 34 states mysteriously developed muscle weakness or paralysis in their arms or legs. This condition is known as acute flaccid myelitis, but researchers previously linked a virus called enterovirus D68 with some of the cases. Only 20 percent of children with paralysis, though, tested positive for EV-D68, and it wasn’t clear if that virus was behind the child’s paralysis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a study in October 2014 of a 6-year-old girl who was examined at the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital for “acute onset of progressive right upper extremity weakness.” The little girl was previously healthy before falling ill. The study linked the girl’s condition to a virus known as enterovirus C105. It was first detected in patients from Peru and the Republic of Congo in 2010. Enterovirus C species includes the polioviruses. “We probably shouldn’t be quite so fast to jump to enterovirus D68 as the cause of these cases,” Dr. Ronald Turner, professor of pediatrics at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, told LiveScience. This outbreak of acute flaccid myelitis affected 118 children in the United States in the summer of 2014. The report found that 88 of those children “noted that most had experienced a preceding respiratory illness, similar to that described by the patient reported here.”

See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”
Headline: Russia claims to have developed secret ‘superweapon’ capable of switching off foreign satellites and enemy weapons
Russia has claimed to have built a revolutionary new weapon system that can render enemy satellites and weapons useless. Its Russian makers say it is a ‘fundamentally new electronic warfare system’ which can be mounted on ground-based as well as air- and sea-borne carriers. However, it has refused to reveal how the system works. It is described as ‘a fundamentally new electronic warfare system capable of suppressing cruise missile and other high-precision weaponry guidance systems and satellite radio-electronic equipment.’ ‘The system will target the enemy’s deck-based, tactical, long-range and strategic aircraft, electronic means and suppress foreign military satellites’ radio-electronic equipment,,’ Russia’s Radio-Electronic Technologies Group (KRET) Deputy CEO Yuri Mayevsky told Russian news agency TASS. To comply with international weapons laws, the system will be mounted on ground-based, air-and seaborne carriers and not on satellites.

Apostasy Amos 8:11 & 1 Timohty 4:1 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos) “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1) ” But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Headline: Why the Bible Is Not the Word of God- a Pastors’ Blog in the Huffington Post
Perhaps it should be first noted that I am a licensed minister in the Missionary Baptist tradition. I believe in preaching the word of God. I believe in the saving of souls from the clutches of dark forces. I believe that God is all-loving and all-powerful, and that his son, Jesus of Nazareth, was the son of God, who has given us a way to live life fully and abundantly. Yet, I do not believe the Holy Bible is the infallible word of God. The Holy Bible is a collection of Christian texts that is the result of refinement by men who thought they were led by God to discern his teachings. The early Christian world was diverse and everyone had a different take on the Gospel of Jesus. These disagreements were “settled” in large meetings of high ranking priests called “Councils.” The Council of Hippo (one of the African Synods) drew up a collection of texts, which is now the Catholic Bible (including a class of texts I as a Protestant would call Apocrypha), in 393 AD. St. Jerome is credited with creating the Old Latin Vulgate, which was the outcome of the African Synods and was used as the Bible for centuries.

Increase in Drugs Revelation 9:21 “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
In Revelation 9:21 we see Jesus speaking to us about drug’s. The words “sorceries” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”. This generation was to be labeled a drug generation and we are.
Headline: Chile moves to legalize marijuana
Part of Chile’s Congress has approved a law to decriminalize the growing and private consumption of marijuana for spiritual, medicinal and recreational use. Were the bill to be approved by the Senate, Chilean individuals would be able to carry less than 10 grams of any cannabis variant, as well as be able to cultivate a maximum of six plants. Individuals who need marijuana for medicinal purposes must have prescriptions. The bill passed the lower house of Congress by a wide margin of 68 in favor and 39 against. It will now be presented before a health commission and then the Senate for approval. Planting, selling and transporting marijuana is currently punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on July 10th when a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. CIRs are transition zones between fast- and slow-moving solar wind streams. Solar wind plasma piles up in these regions, producing density gradients and shock waves that do a good job of sparking auroras.

Sitting off the coast of China and Japan are two typhoons, spinning just 1500km apart and quickly intensifying. Experts predict they will develop into ‘super typhoons’, with at least one – Typhoon Chan-hom – likely to make landfall in Japan. The second typhoon, Typhoon Nangka, is continuing to strengthen as it heads towards the island of Guma, with winds of up to 260km/h. A third storm – Tropical Storm Linfa – is lurking to the west and slowly drifting northwards. Residents are on high alert as the huge storm band bears down on China and Japan.
