in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:
all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all

UN Ceremony Includes Map of
´Palestine´ in Place of Israel

The United Nations held a "Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" last week. A large map of “Palestine,” with Israel literally wiped off the map, featured prominently in the festivities. |
"And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh" (Luke 21:20).
The ceremony was held at the UN headquarters in New York and was attended by Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Presidents of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly.
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and
shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be
trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled" (Luke 21:24).
During the festivities, a map labeled a "map of Palestine”
was displayed prominently between UN and PLO flags. The map, with
“Palestine” written in Arabic atop it, does not include Israel, a
member of the UN for 56 years. The map does not even demarcate the
partition lines of November 29, 1947, marking a Jewish state alongside
an Arab state. The partition was dictated by the UN General Assembly
itself.
With the map hanging behind him, Secretary-General Annan addressed the public meeting at UN Headquarters.

will seek to destroy all the nations that come against
Jerusalem" (Zechariah 12:9).
At the start of the ceremony, the dignitaries
present asked attendees to observe a moment of silence. “I invite
everyone present to rise and observe a minute of silence in memory of
all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian
people,” the master of ceremonies said, “and the return of peace
between Israel and Palestine.“
Anne Bayefsky, who reported on the event for the Eye on the UN organization, said that the ceremony's wording was aimed at giving honor to the worst of Palestinian terrorists. "It was a moment ... crafted to include the commemoration of suicide-bombers,” she wrote. Click here to view a video of the moment of silence. In response to the event, Bayefsky and her organization have once again asked the U.S. to withhold funding from the UN. (Photos and Videos: EyeOnTheUN.org) |

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war" (Revelation 19:11).
"And the armies which were in heaven followed him
upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the
nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he
hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation 19:14-16).
