Your wedding day should go smoothly and without a hitch, and the key to this is good organization well in advance of your wedding day. Here are a few tips to help you deal with the pressure of planning your wedding.

First things first…

1. Buy a pretty notebook, or even a nice blank book. If you have everything wedding-related written down in the same place, it’s hard to lose bits or forget details. Carry the notebook everywhere so you’ll have it when you need it – and later it can be a keepsake. Write down:

a. Phone numbers

b. Tips for decoration

c. Vendor information

d. Guests

e. Notes

2. Keep loose data like wedding receipts together with an accordion folder. This is a paper or plastic enclosed file holder with pockets. Plastic’s your best bet because it’s easier to change labels. Label sections as you accumulate those loose papers: receipts, invoices, RSVPs, ideas and articles, etc.

3. Depend on a computer. There are good wedding software programs for guest tracking, gift tracking, menu selections, table assignments, budgeting, and even a calendar; the best ones will do it all for between $35-60. You can even do it yourself if you’re good with Excel, and some starter templates are free to download from the Microsoft Excel website. Be sure to print everything out in case of crashes.

4. Use index cards in a box to keep your wedding guests organized. Buy a little box, 3″ x 5″ cards, and alphabetical dividers, and assign one card per guest, couple, or family. You can even buy computer paper that tears down into cards, if you really want to be organized. On the card, include information like:

a. Name, address, and phone number

b. RSVP response

c. Gifts given

d. Thank you note

e. Table assignment

f. Menu choice

5. Maintain a to-do list for the major wedding-related jobs. If you use Outlook, this is easy to put together and print out with their Taskpad, along with percentage completion. If you prefer, though, you can just do it by hand. From your large list, you can break out smaller tasks, timelines, and tasks you can give other people. This makes those huge jobs manageable, and you also have the satisfaction of marking each off upon completion.

6. Maintain a wedding calendar with appointments, deadlines, and critical tasks. Again, in Outlook, this is easy to do and to integrate with Taskpad’s list. Every task you have listed should have at least one deadline in the calendar. For a great list of tasks and when to do them, consult our Ultimate Wedding Planning Toolkit’s workbook.

The headline; Gay Fringe Shoots and Kills Innocent Victim; has not been displayed in newspapers yet, but the time is coming. You see there is a group within the gay and lesbian community, which is a fringe, which is quite dangerous and threatening. In fact they often go out of their way to slander, libel, usurp the law and use extortion tactics to prevent opposing views on the gay marriage and other issues.

You cannot reason with this group or talk with them, as the will simply start calling you names like; Homophobic, NAZI, ignorant or psychotic. Then after calling you these things they will say something; “I’m not going to debate with you anymore.” Interesting and this is where you can tell if you are dealing with a member of the radical fundamental gay fringe, because after that they will either threaten you or go away. When they threaten you watch out, they are not of right mind.

Fact: There is a gay fringe, generally 17-30 males, which is slowing and hampering the gay movement for fair and equal treatment under the law to get married.

Fact: This fringe group has been known and can be expected in the future to break the law, use extortion and/or threaten, out of the blue on little or no provocation or even perceived provocation.

Fact: We will see criminal acts including deaths and violence from this fringe if they are not mentored properly. Since they will not listen to anyone the only way to stop this is for the G & L community to intervene and reason with them.

Those are my points. I stand behind them as truth, they man not be PC and I am not placing blame as society usually creates its own problems, nevertheless, it is a point of contention and one which has led to more backlash than would have normally occurred from the moderate or live and let live Americans who vote and are generally the silent majority.

Too the gay and lesbian community; Good luck securing the rights to lawful marriages. I just think it may take longer due to the facts above stated. Only an observation, as I study trends. And to the over all society, we have a homosexual fringe time bomb brewing, so we better all pay attention. Consider this in 2006.

A merchant bank in Hartford Connecticut or so may have a total completely different actual loan rate for a 5000 dollar money loan then a moneylender in Davis California and that makes a immense clear difference in your monthly pay backs. It doesn’t matter if you live in Diamond Bar California or in Idaho Falls Idaho a solid online inspection will unbosom you often a lot of disoblige. You should be vivid today to analyze if you have a special offer or if you don’t with the bank that offers you a loan. Many of the merchant banks wil show you a interest rate that looks ok but feels badly or so after a period of time.

Translated it means: Woon je in Amersfoort of Bergen en hebt u BKR notering. Lenen met een BKR registratie is nog nooit zo gemakkelijk geweest. Koop een andere auto met met negatieve bkr registratie geld lenen, 213421 euro is gewoon mogelijk om te lenen. Van Heiloo tot Pekela, geld lenen met een BKR registratie is altijd mogelijk.

Nowadays you can check into interest rates quickly at websites and escort if there are possible sneaky traps you should know about. 4.1 percent rate may come along so clean but will that be ceaseless after you’re going to riposte your loan. That’s why now you need to check into and visualize if you can have a credit loan at a fine percent rate of interest. Check out to see if the merchant bank who is willing to give you a money loan is secure.

So you’ve got bridesmaids of all different sizes and are finding it difficult to find a stylish bridesmaid dress that compliments each one. There’s several ways to make this less of a problem. Some brides will select the color for the bridesmaids’ dresses and then the bridesmaids can choose any appropriate style in that particular color. I’ve been to a wedding where the bride chose to handle the problem in this way and it was beautiful. Each bridesmaid selected a style that flattered her in the color selected by the bride and each one of them looked spectacular.

Another way to compliment the different sizes is to choose bridesmaid dress separates where you can purchase the top in one size and the skirt in another. This is very convenient for the bridesmaid who is not hour glass proportioned. I have seen bridesmaid separates in very up-to-date styles and colors. I have seen tops with the halter neckline, tops with spaghetti straps, sweetheart and scalloped necklines. The tops have either short sleeves, long sleeves and, I have seen some with the now popular bell sleeve. The top with the georgette bell sleeves was gorgeous. And, you can choose one of several style skirts to go with the top of your choice.

It is also very convenient when both regular sizes and plus sizes are offered in the same bridesmaid dress style. So many manufacturers are now offering the same contemporary styles in both size ranges. Finding plus size bridesmaid dresses is no longer a problem.

Fitting your different size bridesmaids is one less thing for you to be concerned about. Have fun and enjoy your wedding day!

I have worked in formalwear for 20 years. I am presently at http://www.formalwear-outlet.com where I work with all aspects of formalwear – bridesmaid dresses, prom gowns, and formalwear for any special occasion. And, not to forget the gentlement – tuxedos.

Hairstyles and headdresses perfectly matched are a complimentary duo for any bride on her wedding day. What you have to remember when deciding on your hairstyle is what may suit others may not necessarily be the right style for you. Practice makes perfect so try out different hairstyles in the mirror just to get a mirror image of your self. This will give a little insight as to whether you clip your hair up for the wedding or let it lie on the shoulder. A mental picture of your wedding gown is good to have at the back of your mind when choosing the hairstyle or better still if you can have it on at the time will make all the difference in helping you with your decision.

If the wedding dress is an off the shoulder design then consider letting the tresses flow but if the gowns collar is high necked like Victorian times then consider styling the hair up.

The shape of your face is another major factor taken into consideration when picking a hairstyle. If your present style is a look alike of Joan of arc do not despair the longer look can be achieved with hair extensions. Having the perfect hairstyle is very important and why not, as this is a very essential part of the brides whole entity that will add the finishing touches in making her feel just they way she should on a day as special as this.

Sort out an early appointment to talk to with a hairdresser. Find a stylist that holds a good reputation among your friends and family. Make sure after the consultation you are comfortable with your choice of clipper, go through every fine detail of the hairstyle that you would like. He/she can or may give their professional advice on your chosen style but if you are not happy with what they propose then stand your ground.

At the end of the day this is your wedding so the choice is yours. Elegant hairstyles that are quite stunning are the French twist or braids creatively enhanced by woven pearls. To help emanate romance let the hair down. Short hair can be highlighted by adding decorative little menageries (rosebuds feathers hair jewels) Extensions can help fulfil your dream of having the perfect hairstyle.

Magazine browsing is a must for ideas if you are undecided on the hairstyle that will compliment your wedding dress or face features. Make arrangements with the hairdresser to have a practice run it may cost but it will be worthwhile to claim the style you crave. Another good idea is to bring along your headpiece e.g. tiara, cap for the hairdresser to fit at the same time.

Make sure the hairstyle is compatible with all dance moves especially the ones after a few glasses of bubbly if not then a guaranteed medusa look

Being without a partner in the city where you happen upon relationships in each and every pub and disco can be a terrible feeling. I personally know of 2 not married friends who go on dates every week and each day they are sad because they are still not with a lady friend. In the amazing city of London there are a massive number of awesome escorts, these marvellous working girls are the perfect gift to give to yourself if you are without a girlfriend. Make sure you try Lucy Bond for escorts www.lucybond.com.

Working girls in London are sensational and delightful and have a high education making them excellent companions as well as terrific lovers. The escorts in London are typically more expensive than anywhere else like Glasgow, the reason for this is the call girls tend to be of an improved class.

Call girls have been made fashionable with the television show Secret Diary with the pretty Billie Piper. In the tv show the escort call girl is made out to be glamorous and rich and always looking dainty. Secret Diary is a top rated show in the United Kingdom and many boys have seen it and have now booked an escort. This has helped to fuel the increase in single guys feeling much happier and excited about the choice of women a single boy has in London.

Primary Witness of the Resurrection

Mary Magdalene as one of the leading women who followed Jesus Christ. She witnessed some of the most important events in all of recorded historythe death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. She was such an important witness of these historical events that each of the four gospels mentions her. She was a wealthy woman who had served Jesus Christ during his ministry and given him financial support.

The four gospels were written from four different perspectives over a period of 30 to 40 years. The fact that each gospel names her shows that she was well known as the primary witness to the resurrection.

The other disciples, except John, had forsaken Jesus Christ and fled from his crucifixion and burial. However, Mary Magdalene remained close to him, and she was the first person to see Jesus Christ freed from the chains of death.

Seven Demons

Why was Mary Magdalene such a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ? Well one reason is that she was very thankful because Jesus Christ had cast seven demons out of her as recorded in Luke 8:1-2.

“1And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,” (KJV)

Mary was not the only woman who followed Jesus Christ or whom he had healed of diseases of mind and body. Yet, Luke specifically mentions her because Christ had cast seven demons out of her. Jesus Christ had set her free from the bondage of the demonic world.

Prostitute Allegation

Mary Magdalene has often been misunderstood and has been accused of being a prostitute. However, the Bible nowhere identifies her as a prostitute. Why then do many people think that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute? Luke records an incident in which a woman who was a public sinner washed the feet of Jesus Christ with her tears. Some people think that Mary Magdalene was this woman. This incident is recorded in Luke 7:36-39:

“36And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. 37And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.” (KJV)

However, scholars think Mary Magdalene is likely not the same woman called a sinner in Like 7:39 because Luke does not provide the name of the woman in Luke 7, but he specifically names Mary Magdalene in Luke 8:1-3.

Allegation that She Was Married to Jesus Christ

Some books such as Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the The Da Vinci Code allege that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. One of the arguments for Mary Magdalene being married to Jesus Christ is that one of the Gnostic texts states that Jesus Christ kissed Mary. However, greeting one another with a holy kiss was common in that time even as the apostle Paul commanded in Romans 16:16 and in three other places in his epistles.

Gnostic writings were never accepted as a part of the canon of scripture. Even the Gnostic texts nowhere state that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene or any other woman.

Some people argue that Jesus Christ had to have been married because the disciples sometimes called him “rabbi” (Mark 11:21), and a rabbi was usually married. They called him rabbi or master as a title of respect. The word for rabbi or master in Mark 11:21 can mean “my great one or my honorable sir.” However, Jesus Christ was technically not a Jewish rabbi and he nowhere stated that he was a rabbi. The disciples sometimes called him a rabbi because he was their teacher, but Jesus Christ did not hold the official Jewish title of rabbi.

According to Smith’s Bible Dictionary, there were various forms of the title rabbi with different levels of honor. The lowest level was rab, which meant master. The next level was rabbi, which meant my master; next came rabban, which meant our master; and the highest level was Rabboni, which meant my great master.

In Mark 11:28, the Jews asked him by what authority he did certain things because they knew that he did not hold any kind of formal Jewish position of authority.

There is simply no hard evidence that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene or any other woman. The vast majority of scholars, whether they are liberal or conservative, agree that Jesus Christ was not married.

At the Crucifixion and Burial

Mary Magdalene was present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 27:55-56.

“55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.” (KJV)

While other disciples had forsaken Jesus Christ at his crucifixion, Mary Magdalene and many women showed great courage in being at the crucifixion. Women value relationships very highly. Mary Magdalene valued her relationship as a disciple of Jesus Christ. She was determined to stand by him until the very end. She remembered the healing that he had given her when he cast the seven demons out of her. He had given her a new life, and she would stand by him even in his death.

Mary Magdalene was also present at the burial of Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 27:59-61.

“59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.” (KJV)

Yes, Mary Magdalene was also present at the burial of Christ. As the First Day of Unleavened Bread drew near, Mary Magdalene was there to witness the burial of her master and lord. She would later return to the tomb to anoint his body with spices, but she would not find Jesus Christ there.

Witness to the Resurrection

The Apostle John records how Mary Magdalene was a witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ in John 20:1-2.

“1The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.” (KJV)

Mary was disturbed. If Jesus Christ were not alive, she wanted to still touch his body and anoint it with spices. She did not want to let go of her master to whom she was so devoted.

She persuaded Peter and John to go to the tomb. They ran to it and looked inside. Then the disciples went home, but Mary Magdalene did not go home. Just as she had remained close to Jesus Christ at his crucifixion and burial, she would remain close to his empty tomb until she saw two angels inside it.

The Apostle John goes on to describe the conversation that Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ had after his resurrection in John 20:13-17:

“13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him. 14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” (KJV)

The Greek work for touch in verse 17 is Haptomai. It means “to cling to.” Jesus Christ told Mary Magdalene not to cling to him because his mission was not over until he had ascended to the Father. Jesus Christ gave Mary Magdalene the mission of informing the disciples that he had risen from the dead and would ascend to his Father.

An apostle is one who is sent (Acts 1:21-22). Jesus Christ sent Mary Magdalene to tell his disciples, who would become apostles, that he was alive. For this reason, some early writings refer to Mary Magdalene as the apostle to the apostles. However, she had no authority as an apostle in any official capacity. She was not one of the 12. However, she was honored for her example and devotion.

The fact that Jesus Christ first appeared to a woman and made her a witness of his resurrection is one of the strongest proofs of the truth or historicity of the resurrection account. Jewish law did not recognize a woman’s testimony. According to Mark 16:10-11, when Mary Magdalene told the disciples that she had seen Jesus Christ alive, they did not believe her.

However, women were important to Jesus Christ. He appreciated their devotion, especially the devotion of Mary Magdalene. He valued the opinions and the testimony of a woman. If the account of Jesus Christ’s resurrection were a mere fable, Mary Magdalene would never have been listed as its first witness.

Conclusion

Mary Magdalene was a wealthy woman; she was a financial success. However, she did not achieve spiritual success until later. Seven demons had possessed her, but Jesus Christ cast them out and healed her. She made changes in her life and became a success story. She sought Jesus Christ with persistence; she sought him with courage; and she sought him with humility. As a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene serves as an inspiring role model for each of us.

If you are anything like me, then it is likely that the word ’seminary’ is a bit intimidating. It sounds like an ultra-academic, only for really religious people kind of environment. However, if you feel like seminary might be the next step in your educational process, then there are a few things you should consider before you let the idea of seminary turn you off.

Seminary can be a great place for people to spend a few years studying and growing personally and relationally. At the most basic level, seminary is a place for people to gather who want to study Christian ministry of some kind. Seminary is typically for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree and who want to pursue a master’s degree in a variety of fields relating to ministry. Do you fit the picture so far? Have you completed your undergraduate degree or are you about to graduate from a university? Having an undergrad degree is the first step to take if you think seminary might be in the picture for you someday.

If you have an undergraduate degree completed, consider what your personal and professional goals are. If you hope to work in a Christian ministry, do you know what area of ministry suits your gifts and goals? The most typical degree that is earned at a seminary is called a Master of Divinity. This degree is most commonly earned by people who desire to pastor a church, though it can be more general in focus to include those simply wanting more knowledge for personal than professional reasons. Some seminaries also offer programs that relate to more specific areas of ministry such as youth ministry, women’s ministry, or counseling. Take some time to research a seminary near you and learn more about what they offer.

When making the important decision about if seminary is right for you, there is no reason to rush. Do an internet search and make a list of potential schools that interest you. Make phone calls and see if you can speak with current seminary students at each school. Try to narrow in on the kind of ministry that seems to fit you best and then only consider a seminary that offers that program.

If, after some research, it seems that seminary is the direction you want to head, then the process of choosing a seminary becomes similar to choosing a college for undergraduate work. Do not hesitate to make a personal visit to the seminary and gather all of the information you need. Deciding to attend seminary can be an exciting thing to do, however, choosing the right seminary for you should be just as important and exciting. Enjoy the process and good luck as you embark on the journey that seminary can be.

Think back to an occasion where you received gifts. What gifts did you get? What gifts did you receive in past years that have stood out in your mind?

I remember a time years ago when I received a gift from a friend. This was a close friend who had moved out of the area. I received the gift, I noticed the postmark, then the address. I was excited to receive something from them. I thanked the UPS delivery person, and went to tearing open the package. Under the brown paper there was colorful wrapping paper, and under the wrapping paper was a cardboard box that was also taped closed.

All this added to my excitement as I finally got to the gift. It was something that I needed, and even something that showed the friend knew me, and remembered something specific about me. However do you know what I did? I put the gift aside looked again through the wrapping, checked the box again, and looked to see if I’d missed it. Do you know what I was looking for?

I was looking for a card with a sentiment. I was looking for a hand written note. I was looking for some kind of communication. I desired to hear from my friend more than I wanted a gift!

Well there wasn’t a card and so I called. I found out they had realized after they mailed the gift that the card was still at home. The card arrived a few days later. There was a long note inside. I enjoyed the note, and the short phone conversation so much. The conversation also gave the gift additional meaning. When I looked at the gift I’d remember the whole occurrence again, and smile. Honestly, it sounds like something I could have done.

Sometimes we don’t realize how much we desire communication with God. We carry one-way conversations where we ask for God’s gifts. Sometimes He even gives them in the expectation of hearing our praise, and our thanks, our communication.

Instead we revel in the gift. Somewhere inside of us we desire communication, so you know what we often do? We pray for another gift. It is God who is the true gift. The fact that Jesus opened the doors of Heaven for us is the most wonderful thing we can know. Ultimately we desire to connect with God. We desire to ask, “How did you know just what I needed when even I didn’t know?” We search looking past all the things “of God” for a personal note “from God”. God’s personal note to us is the Bible. Combined with prayer, and the guiding of the spirit God’s holy communication lines are always open.

When we receive a gift from God it is conversation with Him that gives it meaning, and direction. He desires to tell us why He chose that gift for us. He will show us what He had in mind when He selected it. He wants us to appreciate all the divine thought that went into it.

Gifts are wonderful, but they only start to reveal the wonderful one. We able to converse with God of the universe, what a wonderful gift!

“I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.” (Psalm 18:1-2). NIV

Peter D. Mallett C.2003

The period stipulated for the oppression and liberation of the people of Israel is between 400 to 500 years.

The liberation or the freedom at a given time frame will be based on the following conditions;

There will be a prophecy backing it scripturally. For example, God told Abraham that his descendants will be oppressed in a foreign country for 400 years before he will bring them out to possess the land of Canaan(Gen. 15:13-14). Evidently, the Jews were oppressed in Egypt for 430 years before the came out of Egypt(Ex 12:40).

Their captivity in Babylon in the days of prophet Daniel and the command to return and rebuild the wall of Jerusalem up to the time of their Messiah was 70 week of years which is 490 years(Daniel Chapter 9). The Messiah came and died at a period of 483 years for the remission of sins. He came to spiritually liberate Israel according to the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 61. and did not fight to liberate them from the Roman government which made the Jews rejected him. Also the period of Malachi the last Old Testament prophet to the coming of the Messiah in the New Testament was about 400 years according to bible scholars.

Similarly, Prophet Isaiah predicted the oppression of the Egyptians in the end-time who will be librated and the Egyptians were the oppressed backs in Southern Africa for a period of about 400 years under the apartheid slavery.(Isa 19:20)

The Ethiopian Jews returned to Israel because of hunger and starvation that struck Ethiopia in the 80s and 90s. The Jews only return home whenever they have problem in those countries they lived such as oppression and persecutions. The Second World War becomes part of the end-time prophecies where Israel scattered all over the world keeping the whole country barren without any inhabitants. God still want Israel to remain as a country according to his covenant with Abraham and according to the prophecies of the prophets;. God forced them home by creating confusion between them and those governments of the countries they lived such as France, Germany, Britain and others. As a result, many of them started returning home in order to have peace; by 1948, Israel was declared as a State by the United Nations. Therefore the gathering of the people of Israel from different parts of the world came to pass in the end-times like the ancient biblical days.

Yet many of the Jews are still living peacefully in several countries across the world and even became independent nations as to fulfill the biblical prophecy which state that “The least among you will become a clan; and a small one a mighty nation”(Isa 60:22).

The prophecy of Isaiah chapter 60 including other books of the prophets implies the bringing together of all the spiritual Jews(including both Christians and Muslims alike) to the knowledge of the God of Abraham as one nation in God’s kingdom and not the physical bringing of all the Jews to Israel who are already living in countries where they are living comfortable. Living in a very peaceful atmosphere(even though they could be crises in other countries including Israel,) ruling their counties in several parts of the world with a good government some of which are 5 times larger in population than the population of Israel as a country. They will not abundant those beautiful countries and return to Israel when Isreal is finding it difficult to accommodate all her indigenes who already had lost the eastern Jerusalem for the Arab mosque and the Muslims and who had recently forced to evacuated their occupied territories, having boarder clashes with her Arab nations over their piece of Land they occupied.

The Messiah is not returning any Jew to Israel because the land is not vacant and Israel is looking for more space to occupy which the Arabs will not accept and God will no more force the Arabs out for any further occupation because they are the sons of Abraham. Already the whole world had become Jewish, christain and Islamic and therefore God has choose a neutral country outside Israel which has produced the New Jerusalem so is no longer a Jewish affair after all, the Jews in JUDIASM do not believe in the Messiah called ‘JESUS CHRIST” until they are forced to accept him by the end-time prophet Elijah in the flesh of the blacks ‘clothed in sack cloth” or else they will all perish with a curse as earlier forewarned by John the Baptist the very spirit and power of Elijah in the flesh of the whites “clothed in white cloth” ( Mal. 4:4-6,Luke 1:13-17, 3: 4-end.Rev. 10:1-end, 11:1-13)
