Yahweh Appears to Abraham

Before Yahweh gave Abraham circumcision as a sign of the covenant, his name was Abram and his wife’s name was Sarai.  Later, He changed their names to Abraham and Sarah.  I will refer to them by those names.

Abraham was born in Ur in the land of the Chaldees.  Abraham’s father took him, his wife Sarah, and his nephew Lot, and they went to Haran, a city that is located in Turkey.  While he was in Haran, Yahweh told Abraham to take Sarah, Lot, and all his possessions and go to a land He would show him. (Genesis 11: 27-32)  Abraham obeyed Yahweh, and when he arrived in the land of Canaan in a city called Shechem, Yahweh appeared to him in human form and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” (Genesis 12: 7)

Yahweh was talking about the land we know today as Israel, and that is why we call Israel the Promised Land.  Yahweh promised to give Israel to Abraham and his descendants as a permanent possession.  Although Abraham did not obey God perfectly, his heart was right before Him, and God used Abraham to bless all the nations of the world.

Fact is Stranger than Fiction

Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt—not in Jerusalem as he claimed.  His real name was Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini.  He was not related to the prominent Husseini clan in Jerusalem, but he used his last name to associate himself with that family in order to elevate his social and political standing in Jerusalem.

The Husseini family in Jerusalem is important because of two individuals.  Musa al-Husayni was mayor of Jerusalem.  He led the Palestinian national movement.  The other notable member of the family was Mohammad Amin al-Husayni.  He was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during WWII and President of the Supreme Muslim Council.  The British expelled Mohammad Amin al-Husayni from Palestine during the British Mandate because of his repeated involvement in insurrectionist activity.  He fled to Germany during WWII where he became a confidant of Adolf Hitler and a supporter of the Final Solution.

Yasser Arafat was instrumental in fomenting civil war in Jordan.  He and the PLO were forced to leave that country in 1970 by the late King Hussein of Jordan during what has come to be known as Black September.  During the Black September campaign, thousands of Palestinians were killed before they fled to Lebanon.  Immediately after arriving in Lebanon, Arafat began fomenting civil war in Lebanon.  The Lebanese Civil War lasted from 1975 to 1990 and claimed the lives of more than 200,000 people.

Arafat’s adventures in Israel have been no less destructive.  For instance, he is personally responsible for what are commonly referred to as the First Intifada (a Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule from 1987 to 1993) and the Second, or Al-Aqsa Intifada (the violent Palestinian-Israeli conflict that began in September 2000).  He also authorized and funded terrorist attacks and homicide bombings in Israel over many years that cost the lives of innocent Israeli citizens.

Arafat orchestrated the Al-Aqsa Intifada following the 2000 Camp David Summit with U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli PM Ehud Barak.  During the summit, Arafat was offered almost everything he asked for, including a huge portion of Jerusalem, if he would agree to peace terms.  Following the failure of the Camp David Summit, President Clinton publically castigated Arafat and blamed him for the breakdown.  For all intents and purposes, the Second Intifada was nothing more than Arafat’s attempt to divert attention from himself, to force Israel to take harsh steps to protect its citizens, and to focus the world’s attention on the “plight of the Palestinians.”  The Al-Aqsa Intifada made clear that the “plight of the Palestinians” and peace with Israel were less important to Arafat than his personal reputation because he was offered more than he or anyone else had hoped to achieve at Camp David, and he turned it down.

This very brief summary points to the fact that peace in the Middle East is an elusive goal.  Like a mirage, it disappears when you approach the critical moment because personal interests take priority.  Palestinian leaders know that the signer of any peace treaty with Israel will be targeted for assassination.  Even in Israel, assassination of political leaders who sign peace treaties with the Palestinians isn’t out of the question.

At the end of the day, this much is certain.  For almost 100 years Arab Muslims have been trying to remove Jewish people from the Promised Land.  Even now, the Hamas Charter and the Palestinian Charter make clear that Israel’s total annihilation is their primary objective.  These are irrefutable facts that you don’t hear a lot about today, especially in the mainstream media.  Understanding these facts is crucial if you hope to appreciate what is actually taking place in the Middle East, and they prove yet again that fact really is stranger than fiction.

The article above is very graphic, but you need to read it anyway because it will help you to appreciate what we are up against.  Saying that these people are barbarians is doing a disservice to barbarians.  Please pass this on to your friends and associates in Iran.

To: Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi.  From: Neil Snyder.  RE: Most of the prisoners were males.  They, too, were raped…by other men, and you say that is permitted by Islam.  In whose name do you speak?

Below is an excerpt from the article:

Question: “Can an interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain a confession?”

Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi’s answer: “The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it’s acceptable for someone else to watch while the rape is committed.”

“This reply, and reports of the rape of teen male prisoners in Iranian jails, may have prompted the following question: ‘Is the rape of men and young boys considered sodomy?’”

Ayatollah Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi’s reply: “No, because it is not consensual. Of course, if the prisoner is aroused and enjoys the rape, then caution must be taken not to repeat the rape.”

  1. Hi,
    Just have seen your page, honesty does not seems to be your greatest archivement. Then again Jewish have shown, to start by the swindel of Abram, presented his wife as sister to obtain wealth in Egypt and Philistine, and by claiming God had spoken to him, that honesty has no value.

    God has just spoken to me, and told me that he had said to Abram that the Sinai dessert would be the land given, not the Beersheba Negev.
    regards

    Mario Juan.

  2. Mario Juan, you need to spend some time reading the Bible. Thankfully, we don’t need to depend on people who hear voices to know many things that Yahweh said. His promises concerning the Promised Land are very specific, and the voice you heard gave you information that is diametrically opposed to His Word.
