Incredible article from the Russian newspaper Pravda

·         Incredible article from the Russian newspaper Pravda describing what Obama is doing to our form of government; a must read

The irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda (Russian on-line newspaper) defies description. Why can a Russian newspaper print the following yet the American media can't/won't see it?

American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, and so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "free man" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Being Green

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have

this green thing back in my earlier days."

The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment f
or future generations."

She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truely recycled.

But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.

But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then.

We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

But that young lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But we didn't have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?

Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smartass young person.

We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

: Obama even more spineless than we thought

WRITTEN AS HOW WE SHOULD ALL FEEL....
September Surprise: Obama even more spineless than we thought
By Curt Dale

So, we have a big September Surprise, and it is that BH Obama is even more cowardly, spineless, inept and disconnected with reality than even the most critical of us ever thought. A bunch of Islamic terrorists, in an act of war, killed Ambassador Chris Steven, his bodyguard, ex US Navy

Seal Glen Doherty, and two other diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, Almost simultaneously, an Islamic Terrorist attack our US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, essentially destroyed it, another act of war. Coordinated? Who cares? (Well the White House wants to deal with minutia and prove it was not coordinated or preplanned. But I don’t care. Both were acts of war against the United States.) It’s Muslim Jihad, plain and simple. The US Flag was torn down, desecrated, and replaced with a form of the Taliban/Al Qaeda flag. Both of these terrorist groups who attacked us are the very terrorists Obama, by leading from the rear with complicity, put into power about a year ago. He assured us they were not Islamic Brotherhood and that they would not be a radical Muslim Terrorist regime. Well, he was wrong—I take that back—I don’t think he was wrong because think he knew they’d be radical, and that’s just fine with him.

Today, in Golden Colorado, Obama said, “I know it’s unsettling to see these images on television.” Mr. Obama, is “unsettling” the very best you can gin up to describe the Ambassador you appointed being brutally murdered along with the dedicated former Navy Seal, and two other diplomats? Those aren’t “images,” Mr. Obama! They were red blooded Americans, serving you and your Administration on “American Soil” in our embassies: they were fathers, husbands, and patriots. And you go so far as to say the images of their deaths unsettle you? Our Cairo Embassy is essentially destroyed by another group of Islamic Terrorism, another act of war by terrorists, rubbing our nose in the dirt in their celebration of 9/11, and you are “unsettled,” Oh, my!

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney dared to show the temerity to question the total lack of significant reaction by the Obama White House, pointing out the obvious, that this is an act of war and that the President needed to react to it in a strong way. He was reacting to twice release apology from the United States Embassy in Egypt. That’s correct! The Terrorists attacked the Embassy. And the United States Embassy in Egypt apologized for any offense a private movie may have caused to Muslims. What did Obama do? He attacked Romney for his comments. He said Romney was given to doing “Ready, fire, aim. Now isn’t that cute of the President to revive the Jimmy Carter old-saw. The problem is that Romney is correct; while Obama’s Administration was in the apology mode—to the terrorists—and Barack had Secretary of State Hillary Clinton parroting his stance, Barack remained silent. Almost makes me feel sorry for ol’ Hil. He left her to try to mop up the mess that he’d so blithely let happen over the past couple of years. Our Ambassador and 3 staff members were dead in Libya and our embassy completely trashed in Egypt. Clinton was telling the American people that this was the act of a small, radical group and had nothing to do with al Qaeda. Naw! It was a highly organized, well planned and precisely carried out attack on American soil. She went on to literally blame the US, too, profusely apologizing to the terrorists for the act (some innocuous YouTube video on internet) that is credited with setting off the terrorists. The video is simply a handy excuse to attack us. And isn’t it convenient that it gives Obama and Clinton a line for deep apology to the terrorists. Their condolences to the families of our dead came as rather an afterthought.

This reaction by Obama and his Administration is reprehensible. Yes, this was an Act of War against the United States. But that means nothing to Obama. It was an inconvenience to him, and he has dismissed it to his lower levels to handle while he is in the election campaign mode, raising money. Frankly, it is exactly what we can expect from this totally narcissistic man. (I hardly knew what it meant until I heard it applied to Obama. I looked it up.) No wonder I never knew exactly what it meant. I never knew anyone so totally into “me!” Now, in that light, just think of what he did. He had the flags brought to half mast and put the nation into mourning by presidential decree, the obligatory thing to do. He then quickly loaded up and headed for Las Vegas to do a huge re-election fund raiser. How long ago was it that he told us that we should not go to Vegas and spend money down there, suggesting we tighten our belts. But he is above all of that. He can go down and hobnob with those big donors to the wee hours, reap their money and adoration, and just leave the mourning for his Ambassador and diplomatic staff to us.

This very morning, Obama gave what he must think was a powerful response. He said, "We will work with the Libyan Government to bring the people (note that he didn’t say ‘terrorists) to justice. “ Oh, wowzie! That’s just an overwhelming posture. And even in that speech, which was a campaign stop, he put in a thinly veiled apology to the offended terrorists. Think of what Ronald Reagan did to bring the Libyan government in line when Colonel Muammar Qaddafi got too big for his britches. Reagan defied all of Europe, did what was right, and sent FB-111s over to the Libyan capital and blew the front porch off of Muammar’s palace. We didn't hear any more from ol' Muammar until the Obama Administration came into "power," (if we can even use the term power in reference to anything about Obama).

An explicit example of the Obama supporters outlook happened today. In a campaign speech today, Mitt Romney called for a moment of silence for those killed in Libya. As soon as the moment of silence was supposed to start, heckling Obama backers ruined the solemn moment of silence. I have no tolerance for such disrespect. In the world I’ve grown up in, such horrible behavior would have been considered insanity. But in the insane world of Obama, I suppose it’s just about standard operating procedure.

Can we just face the fact that we have a totally failed President in Barack Hussein Obama? Our nation is declining at a horrifying pace under his incomprehensible Administration. Nothing he does makes any sense. So, a happy, spineless September Surprise to you all, courtesy of Barack, a partyin’ kinda guy.

AT LAST A CHRISTIAN SPEAKS.

I did not write this ,But I wish I would have 

            

 Should Christians Support President Obama?

  This man was on Dr. Charles Stanley's program "In Touch" as a guest speaker.

   I almost shouted "HALLELUJAH" when I finished reading. Forward or discard....it's your choice...but PLEASE read before you do!

Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.

 Dr. David Barton - on Obama

 Respect the Office? Yes.

 Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!

 I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to!  See what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President!

 Why am I doing this? It is because: - I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America;

- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

 - I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;

- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make$150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

 - I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;

 - I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;

 - I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;

 - I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;

 - I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;

 - I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);

- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;

 - I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East; and

- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right!

 For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!

 They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years!

 They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!

 They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code!

 They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

 Unite behind Obama? Never!

  I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!

  PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

 Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America ..

 I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country! Any more compromise is more defeat!

 I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

 GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country!

 (Please, please, please, pass this on if you agree. If you don't agree, just delete it.)

 Thanks for your time, may you and yours be safe.

One Nation under God!!

There Was Never a Country Called Palestine

By Jerrold L. Sobel

Please forget one of the great fallacies of our time: Israel did not steal Palestinian land. It's not Palestinians' land; it's never been their land; it will never be their land. This land was given to the Jewish people, as stated in the Bible, by the Creator, and will remain the homeland of the Jewish people in perpetuity. Despite 27 invasions of Judea and Samaria (erroneously called the West Bank), conquests by many, forced conversions, exiles, massive oppression, generations of Diaspora, and cowardly acquiescence by a cadre of 5th-column Jews themselves, Jews have not only survived in what's known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael (Israel), but they've taken a desert wasteland and turned it into a powerful little democracy, the envy of the world.

To her detractors, of whom there are many worldwide, the mantra remains the same, ad nauseam. "Israel is complicit in doing this."

"She omitted doing that." "We respect Judaism but are against Zionism." Attempting to mask their anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism, Israel's enemies propagandize the most vile accusations in such numbers that much of it sticks. To cite just a few:

Myth: "Israel discriminates against its Arab citizens."

The facts show otherwise. Israel is one of the most open societies in the world. Out of a population of 6.7 million, 1.1 million are Muslims, 130,000 are Christians, and 100,000 are Druze. All have equal voting rights -- Israel is one of a very few place where Arab women have the right to vote, and Arabs currently hold 14 seats in the Knesset.

Following a five-year trial, in a landmark decision for women's rights, an Arab judge, Salim Joubran, sentenced the former president of Israel, Moshe Katsav, to seven years in prison for rape. In what Muslim country do Jews have such rights? How many seats do Jews hold in the Saudi government or Jordan? Can anyone recall a Jewish judge sentencing a prominent Arab in Egypt? More to the point, has anyone even heard of a Jewish judge in Egypt?

Myth: "The Palestinian Authority protects Jewish holy sites."

If only that were true. Then one important element blocking a sincere peace would be eliminated, but the facts speak otherwise. Just in the years between 1996-2000:

In Septemer 1996, Palestinian rioters destroyed a synagogue at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.
Rachel's Tomb near Bethlehem has been repeatedly attacked since 1996.
In October 2000, Joseph's Tomb was torched after the Israeli garrison guarding it was temporarily withdrawn. It was subsequently rebuilt as a mosque.
In October 2000, the ancient synagogue in Jericho was destroyed by arson, and a second historic synagogue was damaged.

Forget about protecting these sites -- in textbooks, speech, and daily life, the Palestinians and their supporters absurdly deny any Jewish connection at all to these ancient landmarks. This all occurs under nominal Israeli control of these areas; one can only imagine the fate of Jewish holy sites left to Palestinian stewardship.

This brings us to the greatest canard of them all, the foundation on which every pro-Palestinian lie is based: "The Jews are building settlements on Palestinian land."

This grand daddy of all fabrications makes great copy for the media and is excellent for denigrators of Israel, but it lacks any basis in historical fact. There is no Palestinian land, plain and simple. If there were, when would it have been founded, and by whom? What would its borders have been, and what about the name of its capital? What would its major cities have been? What would have constituted the basis of its economy? What form of government would it have lived under?

Was Palestine ever recognized as an entity by another country? By whom? What was the language of the country called Palestine? What was Palestine's religion? What was the name of its currency? Since there is no such country today, what caused her demise?

These questions were posed by a Japanese writer, Yashiko Sagamori. Only the most revisionist adherent of the Palestinian narrative could even attempt to answer her queries. Pose these same questions regarding Israel and Jewish connection to this land, and except for the willfully blind and delusional -- of which, admittedly, there are many, each can be factually answered.

At no time in history has there ever been a nation called Palestine. During the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from 1299-1922 CE, the land dubbed by the Romans as Palestine was controlled by the Turks; there was never an outcry for a Palestinian State then. During the illegal annexation of Judea and Samaria by the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan subsequent to the 1949 Armistice and prior to 1967, there was never talk of "occupied territory" or a Palestinian State. Why did the dynamic change subsequent to Israel's glorious victory in the Six-Day War -- a conflict unprovoked by Israel?

Search as you will -- throughout the annals of history, Israel is the only nation victorious in war on successive occasions and then expected by the vanquished and the world at large to sue for peace, to cede land she reclaimed that was historically hers to begin with. It raises the question: which of the "Quartet" cajoling Israel to acquiesce to Palestinian demands should be allowed land won in conflict?

The Russians? It's beyond the scope of this essay to delve into their inglorious, extensive imperialist history and their oppression of native peoples, but as one example, isn't it time they relinquish the Kuril Islands to the Japanese? The Second World War has been over for 67 years.

The same holds true for my favorite imperialists, the British, who never miss an opportunity to castigate the Jewish State but somehow fail to look at their own sordid history. Just this past week, they proudly announced sending a sophisticated warship 7,700 miles into the South Atlantic to dissuade Argentina from re-establishing sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, which lie just 250 miles off Argentina's coast. Why are the Falkland Islands controlled by the British to begin with? Historically, doesn't Argentina, which controlled these islands until 1830, have a greater claim to them?

For that matter, when will the British finally relinquish Gibraltar to its "rightful owner," Spain?

Likewise, if not for hundreds of years of British tyranny and greater military strength, wouldn't Northern Ireland be part of the Republic of Ireland?

What about the United States? Let's face it: if they had more sticks and stones than we do, wouldn't Mexico wrest back the American Southwest and all its resources? Basically, wasn't all this land stolen by the harsh dictates of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? Why is there such uproar over illegal immigration in the United States? After all, when Mexicans sneak across the border, in effect, aren't they just practicing "the right of return"?

Unquestionably, with the exception of the United States, it was from countries like these that Jews in Diaspora were forced to escape repression and rejoin their coreligionists who maintained a three-thousand-year continuous existence in Judea, Samaria, and the outlying areas.

Does might make right? With exceptions made against Israel, it seems to. The Jewish people were driven out of Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria by the Babylonians. They returned to their homeland and rebuilt the Second Temple only to have it burned again, this time by Romans, and to be once again exiled from their land.

Despite 27 invasions and conquests subsequent to the Grand Monarchy of Kings David and Solomon, Jews have always had a contiguous connection to this land. Only in the minds of the disparaging and the uninitiated did she ever relinquish it. If not the land of Israel, where are Jews from? Poland? The Ukraine? Russia? Only hateful revisionists such as Helen Thomas, Mel Gibson, Oliver Stone, and some sanctimonious loonies with Ph.D.s inculcating our kids with venom believe that.

As to the other detractors of Israel in the EU and the U.N., I ask the following questions. Who legitimately owns Alsace-Lorraine -- the Germans or the French? It's changed hands so many times over the past five hundred years that no one has a clue. What's Turkey doing in Northern Cyprus? Where is the world uproar over China's occupation of Tibet, East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, and Manchuria?

We can go on and on and on with this. Certainly the Jewish people have at least as great a legitimate claim to their historic homeland than any of these other nations, and certainly more so than the so-called Palestinian Arabs do.

Why are the rules of international relations being changed for Israel? Is it because after thousands of years, the world at large can't bear to see the Jewish people once again in charge of their own land and their own destiny?

Prayers for Israel

I know that some people who are going to read this are not Christians and do not follow Yeshua HaMashiach. My Jewish brothers and sisters will not be praying in the name of Jesus,

But we are all praying to the same Almighty God - the Almighty ADONAI, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Because we are praying to the same God, I am sure that we can agree with the prayer and not debate the way we pray and communicate with The Lord God Almighty.

Father God in the Name of Jesus I ask that you forgive my sins. In the name of Jesus, I thank you for that forgiveness. Lord God in the name of Jesus, I pray to you for the nation, state, land, and people of Israel. The enemy surrounds the Nation of Israel. This is an enemy that lives to destroy Israel and wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This enemy has sworn to eliminate the Jewish people. In Jesus name, we ask for your protection of all of Israel.

We ask Lord that all of the people of Israel, all the Israelis are surrounded by your hedge of protection, no matter where the Jewish people are in this world. We ask that no weapons that are brought against Israel be successful in any way. All weapons that are brought against Israel will fail in the hands of the enemy that seeks the destruction of Israel. Thank you Lord for your protection.

Lord God We put before you all the land of Israel, which has been promised by you in Your Holy Word.

In Jesus name, we ask that you, Lord, protect all the land of Israel. From the northern border to the southern boarder. From the eastern border to the sea. We ask for the protection of your Holy Spirit for all the land of Israel. That from this day forward not one bomb, rocket, bullet, knife, arrow, or rock, be successfully brought against the land and people of Israel. Thank you; Lord, for your protection.

Lord God, we put before you the Israeli government, and the politicians, and all the offices of the government from the lowest to the highest. Any and all who make up the nation of Israel, including all who are in service in the defense of Israel. We ask that you will keep them strong and sure. We ask that all will be vigilant and insightful; we ask that all will be intelligent and informed; we ask that your Spirit will lead all, knowingly and unknowingly. Lord God, we ask that your Spirit lead all the Israeli government so your will is done in Israel and you shall be glorified by all of Israel. Thank you; Lord, for your Spirit in Israel.

Dear Lord, the Almighty ADONAI, we ask that all the riches and security that you promise in you Holy Word be delivered to Israel this day as we pray. Lord we ask that you open the floodgates of heaven and pour down the blessings from your mighty kingdom untold in our day. We pray Lord that your blessing will flow into and upon all of Israel, so much so that Israel will become the richest nation on earth, with wealth that astound the world, and that the world will know that You are the God of Israel and you bless Israel with all that you are, and You will protect Israel from all enemies.

Almighty Lord the enemies of Israel have come against Israel and the Israeli people in the media. They have distorted the truth about Israel, and they have twisted the words of people, groups, and governments. They have used your holy word out of its context to make Israel look bad in the eyes of the world so that Israel’s allies would turn against you and Israel. Dear Lord, we ask that You will vindicate Israel in the media and show the world the lies and deceitfulness of the enemies of Israel so that anything the enemy says in the future is never believed again. We pray, Lord, that they will be denuded for the entire world to see their evil intent and wickedness.

Almighty Lord, we pray for the senior citizens of Israel, as they can no longer defend themselves with weapons. However they have the ability to have weaponless hands of prayer. May they be like Moses, Aaron, and Hur when they were all octogenarians who went up to the top of mountains at Rephidim and stayed there interceding for the Israelite army led by Joshua in battle against the Amalekits and defeated them, giving the Israelites total victory. We pray, Lord, that this day as the Israeli senior citizens intercede for Israel that You will hear their cry and give Israel the total victory.

Lord, we pray that all of us, Jewish and Christian alike, would be as Caleb. The Lord God Almighty said in

Numbers 14:24, “My servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly.” As a result of this devotion to God, Caleb was able to subdue, dispose, and defeat the enemies of Israel, and he was given the land called Hebron (Joshua 14: 15).

Then the land had a rest from war. Dear Lord, we pray that all of Israel will have a rest from war, and we pray that the peace of the Spirit will flow through all of Jerusalem and unto all of Israel.

Lord, we know in our hearts that Israel’s greatest days are ahead of Her and Your Glory and Majesty will be seen there by the whole earth. Bless Israel, we pray.

Lord God the Almighty, we pray that you would stand against all the enemies of Israel. We ask You Lord, that you will protect all of Israel with the whole of Your Kingdom and send your angels to defend and protect the people of Israel. Dear God, we pray that you will cause the earth itself to come against the enemies of Israel. We pray that the wind will come against all the enemies of Israel. We pray that all the waters of the earth will come against the enemies is Israel. We pray that the weather will come against the enemies of Israel. Lord, we pray that the fires of the earth will come against the enemies of Israel. Lord we pray that plague and poverty come against the enemies of Israel. We pray that confusion and calamity will come to the enemies of Israel and that they will fight one another and not attack Israel so the land and people of Israel can live in peace and glorify The God of Israel. . (If you think this is a little strong I want you read the Book of Zechariah)

We know in our hearts oh Lord

Our God is all-powerful

(Jeremiah 32:26-27)

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah

“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

We know in our hearts oh Lord.

Our God is ever present

(Psalm 139:7- 12)

Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven you are there;

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold you are there.

If I take the wings of the dawn,

If I dwell in the remotest parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me and your right hand will lay hold of me.

If I say,” surely the darkness will overwhelm me and the light around me will be night,”

Even the darkness is not dark to you and the night is as bright as day, Darkness and light are alike to you.

We know in our hearts oh Lord.

Our God is All-knowing

(1 John 3:19-20)

This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater then our hearts, and he knows everything.

Father God we pray this prayer, for this battle has to be fought every day because evil doesn’t recede willingly. We know, Lord, that the battle cannot be won without you. You are our source and protector and because of that fact, we pray for the peace, security, and protection of all of Jerusalem and Israel.

We glorify your holy name and give praise to you. In Jesus name we pray,

Amen.
