Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Slips Toward Death
“We are defining his condition as critical, and there is definitely a threat to his life,” he said. “The feeling of everyone . . . is that this decline is very serious.”

JERUSALEM — Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, comatose since a 2006 stroke, slipped closer to death Thursday after a sharp decline in the condition of the ex-general who long symbolized Israel’s military might.
Reviled by Arabs over his hardline policies and viewed with a mixture of respect and suspicion by many Israelis, 85-year-old Sharon has been on life support at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv for the past eight years, far from the public gaze.
“I am no prophet, but the feeling of his doctors and his sons . . . is that there has been a change for the worse,” Sheba director Zeev Rotstein told reporters.
Rotstein, in the first official medical statement on Sharon’s condition after reports on Wednesday that he had suffered a kidney malfunction, said doctors expect a deterioration in several life-sustaining organs.
“We are defining his condition as critical, and there is definitely a threat to his life,” he said. “The feeling of everyone . . . is that this decline is very serious.”
Sharon’s two sons were at his bedside, doctors said, and a state funeral was planned.
One of Israel’s most famous generals, Sharon left his mark on the region through military invasion, Jewish settlement building on captured land and a shock, unilateral decision to pull Israeli troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005.
In 1983, an Israeli state inquiry found Sharon, then the defense minister, indirectly responsible for the killing of hundreds of Palestinian men, women and children at Beirut’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. He was forced to resign his post.
The slaughter took place after the Israeli army, which invaded Lebanon in 1982, allowed Israeli-backed Christian Phalangist militiamen to enter the camps, ostensibly to search for Palestinian gunmen.
“He’ll be remembered as the last of his generation of Israeli fighters and founders,” Dedi Cohen, a 38-year-old lawyer, told Reuters in Tel Aviv.
“He was a bulldozer who got things done. I know he was controversial, but he had values. He stood for something. That’s missing today,” Cohen said.
Raanan Gissin, a former senior aide to Sharon, said that doctors believe death could come within days or even hours.
“It’s a very sad moment . . . for people in Israel because Ariel Sharon was an icon in Israel,” Gissin said.
WAR AND PEACE
Sharon’s devastating illness began shortly after he quit the right-wing Likud party, where he had promoted Jewish settlement in territory captured in the 1967 Middle East war, and founded a centrist faction with the declared aim of advancing peace with his long-standing foe, the Palestinians.
Battling a Palestinian uprising that began in 2000 after peace talks collapsed, Sharon initiated the building of a contentious barrier across the occupied West Bank and presented a plan to “disengage” from the Gaza Strip.
“As a prime minister he took a very brave step in leaving the [Gaza] settlements. He did something unexpected that was very surprising for a right-wing prime minister, for the better,” said Anat Harel, 25, a computer science student in the southern town of Ashkelon.
Critics of Sharon’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza point to the territory’s seizure two years later by Hamas Islamists opposed to Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and repeated rocket fire from the enclave.
“We worked together but it is no secret that our ways parted at the moment he started talking about the [Gaza] disengagement,” Yuli Edelstein, the speaker of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, said on Israel Radio.
“But even these things do not cancel out his military past, his contribution to the country, or my memories of him,” Edelstein said.
In the Gaza Strip, a Hamas leader spoke bitterly of a man the movement sees as one of the Palestinians’ worst enemies.
“Ariel Sharon is going the same direction as other tyrants and criminals whose hands were covered in Palestinian blood,” said the leader, Khalil al-Hayya.
There was no sympathy either in the occupied West Bank. “God willing he dies,” said Rauf Ramia, a laborer from the Qalandia refugee camp. “He’s a terrible person.” source – News Max

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As Israel Authorizes Plan To Take Control Of Gaza, America Slides Down The Slippery Slope Into Christian Nationalism

Israel approves plans for taking Gaza by force as Christian Nationalism explodes in Washington DC as these last days kick into end times overdrive
Today’s Podcast is for the spiritually mature, because we’ll be discussing a few subjects that many of us including me agree with in principle, but fall way short in practical application. Our two main topics today center around the now-approved plan by Israel for a military takeover of all of Gaza, and the wave of Christian Nationalism brought to use by the New Apostolic Reformation adherents that dominate the Trump administration. If you believe the Bible, both these things will end in bitter failure, there’s a reason for that, and we’re going to talk about it.
“And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.” Genesis 49:1 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are here on Day 1,971 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the end times activity continues to pin the needle on the prophecy meter. In the Middle East, Israel is walking into a very unpopular takeover of all of Gaza condemned by Germany, Saudi Arabia and England among others. Even many Israelis in Israel are not happy with this new direction. Over in America, a different problem is taking shape, the ‘apostles’ of the New Apostolic Reformation that make up the majority of the “Christians” in the Trump administration want to create a theocracy. Launched back in May with a blog post entitled ‘Mission To Babylon’, a church has been planted in Washington, DC, that says they are ‘a Conservative, Reformed, & Evangelical church in D.C. We affirm the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Definition of Chalcedon, and the Westminster Confession of Faith.’ Calvinism, NAR and Evangelical all rolled into one, big, fat mess. Oh, boy, is that ever a recipe for Laodicean disaster. But into the breech we go on this edition of the Prophecy News Podcast!

Biblical Archaeology Researchers Say Recent Discovery Of Lost Underwater City In Lake Van In Turkey Challenges Timeline For Noah’s Ark Account

Researchers say an ancient underwater city beneath Lake Van in Turkey could potentially reveal secrets that challenge the origins of Noah’s Ark
A number of years ago, we published an article against the day that researchers would discover the ‘bones of Jesus’ and what your response as a Bible believer should be. The article you are reading right now is a confirmation that that day is indeed coming. Biblical archaeologists have found the remains of an underwater city in Lake Van in Turkey, not too far from Mt. Ararat where Noah’s Ark is believed to have landed. Those researchers are very excited to get you to doubt the biblical account of what happened back in Genesis 6, and you need to make sure you don’t fall for it.
“And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” Genesis 6:13,17 (KJB)
One thing I have learned about the King James Bible over the last 34+ years of reading it, is that it is never wrong, not even once. Beginning all the way back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 launched by Roman Catholics to stop the King James Bible, all the way up to the present day, the KJV 1611 has withstood and beaten back all comers, up to and including every one of the 450 ‘modern versions’ created to supplant it. The King James Bible is always right and will always be many steps ahead of you. So when it talks about the timeline of Noah’s Ark, you can rest assured it’s right, no matter what 21st century researchers want you to believe. All that said, there’s some good stuff below about the underwater city of Lake Van that lies of the shadow of Mt. Ararat. Eat the meat, spit out the bones.
Vast underwater city discovered near ‘resting place of Noah’s Ark’ rewrites Bible story known to millions
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The sprawling ruins lie 85 feet below the surface near the town of Gevaş, just 150 miles from Mount Ararat, the mountain traditionally believed to be the final resting place of the biblical boat. Geological evidence suggests that the ruins were submerged 12,000 to 14,500 years ago, when a Mount Nemrut eruption blocked the Mirat River, and caused massive flooding during the Younger Dryas, a period of extreme climate upheaval.
While mainstream scholars dismiss the theory, many independent researchers believe this disaster wiped out an advanced civilization, one so ancient that it may have inspired the earliest versions of the Great Flood story.
‘As far as I’m aware, any civilizations in the last 6,000 years did not have the technological means to create the type of stonework we’re seeing here,’ said independent researcher Matt LaCroix, who spoke about the discovery on the Matt Beall Limitless podcast.
LaCroix and an international dive team are preparing to explore the site in September using advanced imaging tools to map the ruins, which he believes could help rewrite humanity’s timeline. The underwater complex spans more than half a mile, featuring a stone fortress flanked by circular temples with precisely carved masonry. There is also a capstone engraved with a six-spoked ‘Flower of Life’ symbol, an ancient motif also found at sacred sites in Peru and Bolivia. Discovered in 1997 by Turkish underwater filmmaker Tossen Salin while studying Lake Van’s unusual micro-invertebrates, the ruins have remained largely unknown to the public.
While archaeologists confirm the structures exist, many attribute them to the Urartian period around 3,000 years ago, or even to the medieval era. But they have admitted that the site has yet to be fully studied or definitively dated. LaCroix, however, said in a July episode of the podcast that geological data told a different story. He explained how soil sampling and analysis of Mount Nemrut show clear evidence of a massive eruption around 12,000 years ago. As a result, Lake Van’s water level rose dramatically, over 100 feet, according to some estimates.
Because stone cannot be carbon-dated, researchers hope to find organic material, such as sediment layers or artifacts, which could confirm the age of the ruins. But collecting such evidence underwater poses major challenges. The site’s sophisticated stonework, with tightly interlocking blocks, angular joints, and no visible binding agents, appears to rival the engineering seen in megalithic sites like Sacsayhuamán in Peru.
Scholars have long acknowledged that the biblical flood story likely evolved from earlier Mesopotamian texts. Ancient cuneiform tablets from Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian cultures, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis, and the Eridu Genesis, describe a massive flood sent to destroy early civilization, and a chosen man who builds a vessel to save life on Earth. In these tales, the survivor is called Ziusudra or Utnapishtim, names predating Noah by thousands of years. READ MORE

Chaplain Mark At The North Dakota State Penitentiary Tells Us Of The Great Need For King James Bibles At Their Facility Amidst Inmate Salvations And Baptisms

Come help Bibles Behind Bars to continue to supply jails and prisons across America with Bibles, books and gospel tracts for spiritually hungry inmates
Today we received an email from Chaplain Mark at the North Dakota State Penitentiary, and he had this to say: “As the chaplain I am responsible to protect the rights of every resident to practice their religion and I provide what they need to do that. But with that being said – the most requested item is still the Bible. So I pass out many of them. I get requests for different versions of the Bible and really need a source for some KJVs. Many of the men specifically request a KJV Bible. We have organic Bible studies that have sprung up in almost every pod. We have baptized almost 200 men since I got here. Instead of going out to recreation they are getting together and having Bible studies. Your help would really be a blessing to the men here.”
“Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:” Psalms 146:7 (KJB)
In addition to that, over at the Dunklin County Jail in Kennett, MO, we received this report. “Three years ago, our church started a jail ministry for the ladies that were incarcerated in our local Dunklin County Jail and two years ago we added a team for the men as well. We started with the understanding that we could not just go in a few months and quit, but it had to become a ministry of longevity. After three years, we can say that our Jail Ministry team has absolutely made an impact for those that have been incarcerated. This year, our teams have baptized 58 men and women inside the jail and we are seeing a few get released and bring their families to church. The heart of our teams is to provide Bibles to each individual that is incarcerated and we were just looking for a place that we could get Bibles, and we came across your information. If you could provide 50-100 that would be amazing.”
Christian, the LORD has kicked open wide the door for all of us who desire fruit at the Judgment Seat of Christ by allowing us to provide Bibles and books to jails and prisons likes these all across the country. The harvest is great, the labourers are few, come and help us to complete the mission. We need you!
