First-Ever Muslim Prayer Service To Be Held At Washington National Cathedral

~The Coming End Time Delusion Foretold In Bible Prophecy~
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:”
~
  2 Thessalonians 2:12


NTEB News Desk — There is a rapidly-growing movement within the professing Christian denominations to blend Islam with Christianity, we call this bastard hybrid Chrislam. Some of the most well-known figures in religious circles are behind it. People like Pope Francis, Rick Warren, Hillsong United, Kenneth Copeland and scores of others. It is evil.

Let no one deceive you, biblical Christianity has nothing in common with Islam, and never will. If your church begins to incorporate any aspect of Islam into it’s physical building or worship service, run away as fast as you can.

The cathedral, part of the Episcopal Church, has long held high-profile interfaith events, and some mosques hold services in synagogues or churches if they need overflow space. But organizers said Monday that they are seeking to make a statement by having Muslim leaders come and hold their midday service in such a visible Christian house of worship.

“We want the world to see the Christian community is partnering with us and is supporting our religious freedom in the same way we are calling for religious freedom for all minorities in Muslim countries,” said Rizwan Jaka, a spokesman with the prominent ADAMS mosque in Sterling, Va., one of the co-sponsors of Friday’s service. “Let this be a lesson to the world.”

This is what needs to happen on Friday:

The service, which will begin around 12:20 and is for invited guests only, developed out of a relationship between the cathedral’s director of liturgy, the Rev. Gina Campbell, and the South African ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, who is Muslim. The two worked together on a memorial service for Nelson Mandela, Jaka said.

“This is a dramatic moment in the world and in Muslim-Christian relations,” Rasool said in a prepared statement. “This needs to be a world in which all are free to believe and practice and in which we avoid bigotry, Islamaphobia, racism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Christianity and to embrace our humanity and to embrace faith.”

Muslims Are Now Forcing Christians To Take The Mark Of The Beast
(And Those Who Refuse To Take It Are Beheaded)
By Theodore Shoebat, Shoebat Foundation —
The Islamic Shahada — “There is no god by Allah and Muhammad is his messenger” — is the Mark of the Beast, and now Muslims are forcing Christians to take the Mark of the Beast. As Shoebat.com reported yesterday, Boko Haram is now telling Christians to say the Shahada, and once they don’t say it, they are immediately slaughtered. We are entering the end times, and this is only a microcosm as to what is to come. I did a whole video on this.

“Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” ~  Revelation 20:4 ...

US Embracement Of Iran Will Only Help The Islamic State
By Ryan Mauro, The Clarion Project —
Offering to cooperate with Iran against ISIS is fruitless. Iran and Assad want to throw gasoline on the fire while be handed a fireman’s suit. As the November 24 deadline for a deal with Iran looms, President Obama wrote a secret letter to Supreme Leader Khamenei reportedly suggesting a common bond against the Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS or ISIL).

The unpublished letter reportedly offered cooperation with Iran against ISIS if a nuclear deal is reached. Secretary of State Kerry said this is incorrect and that the nuclear negotiations are being treated as a wholly independent issue....

If you live in Minnesota, your high-school daughter might soon be showering next to a male after athletic practice if a “transgender” policy being considered by the Minnesota State High School League is approved next month.

And beyond Minnesota? Such a policy could be coming to other states, too, if there is not already one in place. Critics of the controversial measure in Minnesota, which has sparked fierce opposition across the state, told WND the policy was unneeded, dangerous and part of a broader radical agenda....

THOUSANDS of Washingtonians Pledge Civil Disobedience
To New Anti-Gun Laws
By Greg Campbell, TPNN —
Our republic continues to survive based on a reverence for law and order. We are not allowed to merely disobey laws we do not like and if we do so, we should expect to pay the consequences. However, what are we to do when a new law contradicts an already-existing law? For example, many Washingtonians awoke last week to discover that I-594, a proposed anti-Second Amendment initiative, had passed. The law mandates the use of background checks for private transfers, thus interjecting the all-seeing eye of the government into affairs that ought to remain between private citizens.

The nature of private firearm ownership is, at the term would suggest, to maintain the tools for self-defense privately. Anyone who questions why citizens would object to having government monitor who is armed and who is not is a person not well-acquainted with the modus operandi of despots and tyrants throughout the past few centuries....

By Norvell Rose, Western Journalism —
Don’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of it. Chagas is a little-discussed but potentially lethal disease that experts now believe could have infected close to 400,000 Americans, most of whom are unaware of the ticking time-bomb inside them.

Chagas is spread by the feces of an insect that plays host to a nasty parasite — the insect is nicknamed the “kissing bug” because it often bites people around the mouth. It bites sleeping victims, ingests their blood, and defecates on them....

Obama Makes Climate Deal With China After Secret Negotiations

Obama is setting a new target for the U.S., agreeing to cut greenhouse gas emissions at 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. The current U.S. target is to reach a level of 17 percent below 2005 emissions by 2020.

China’s Commitments

Xi committed China to begin reducing its carbon dioxide emissions, which have risen steadily, by about 2030, with the intention of trying to reach the goal sooner, according to a statement released by the White House.

China, the world’s largest greenhouse-gas emitter, also agreed to increase its non-fossil fuel share of energy production to about 20 percent by 2030, according to the White House....

Rep. Gowdy discusses comments by an architect of the Affordable Care Act calling the American people stupid, and he provides a brief update on the Select Committee.

“Stupid” American Voters

Glenn McCoy has long been recognized by his peers as a superior cartoonist. Glenn was the first cartoonist to be victorious in three (NCS) categories. His editorial cartoons have been reprinted in The New York Times, USA Today and Newsweek, and appear frequently on CNN. They also have been collected in two books, "Pot Shots" and "Pot Shots 2," both dealing with Bill Clinton's years in office.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14

Is New ‘Exodus’ Movie Actually Biblical?
Americans want to know if star-studded film will be another ‘Noah’

By Drew Zahn — From the look of the heart-pounding trailer, the upcoming Dec. 12 film, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” has everything movie audiences – regardless of their faith – could want.

A story based on one of the greatest tales ever told. Top-notch Hollywood production values. Sweeping, epic cinematography. Awe-inspiring pyramids and golden-clad armies, chariots and thundering hooves, grueling sword fights and terrifying plagues that leap from the screen with multimillion-dollar special effects.

To cap it off, it stars multiple Oscar-award winning actors and actresses, including the charismatic Christian Bale and legendary Ben Kingsley, and is directed by Ridley Scott, the three-time Oscar-nominated talent who also directed the 2001 Best Picture winner, “Gladiator.”

But as some sobering new statistics reveal, what movie audiences really want to know before they spend their money on a ticket … is whether the makers of “Exodus: Gods and Kings” are trying to pull another “Noah.”

The earlier film about the Flood, also boasting big-name talent and a blockbuster budget, took wild liberties with its biblical source material. By its director’s own admission, “Noah” was twisted into a tale far more about environmentalism than the judgment and mercy of God.

Consequently, Christian audiences – who make up the majority of film-goers in America – largely panned the movie, and “Noah” required international ticket sales to avoid losing tens of millions of dollars.

“Gallup polling said 77 percent of American adults self-describe as Christian,” Stone concluded. “If you’re not targeting those people, who are you targeting? Seventy-seven percent is the vast majority.”...

Pope Francis Says Genesis Account Of Creation Is Not True

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
Colossians 1:16-17
NTEB News Desk —
The Pope said the scientific account of the beginning of the universe and the development of life through evolution are compatible with the Catholic Church’s vision of creation. He told a meeting of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Sciences: ‘The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.’

But he said Christians should reject the idea that world came into being by chance. Likewise, evolution was all part of God’s plan, he explained. The development of each creature’s characteristics over millennia ‘does not contrast with the notion of creation because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve,’ he said.
“Reading Genesis we imagine that God is ‘a wizard with a magic wand’ capable of doing all things, he said. ‘But it is not so. He created life and let each creature develop according to the natural laws which he had given each one.’
Francis praised his predecessor, Benedict, who initiated attempts to shed the Catholic Church’s image of being anti-science, a label that stuck when it condemned the astronomer Galileo to death for teaching that the earth revolves around the sun.

The Catholic Church no longer teaches creationism – the belief that God created the world in six days – and says that the account in the book of Genesis is an allegory for the way God created the world....

From Other Countries
By Tom Fitton, Breitbart —
The news out of New York, contrary to what President Obama and other top government officials have said, is that the Ebola crisis appears to be getting worse in the U.S. Judicial Watch is striving to pry loose the truth from reticent federal agencies that have a responsibility for public safety and our national security.

We have filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

IRS Civil Forfeiture, End of America
If This Continues…We Have No Country

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand
Partial Transcript: There are a lot of problems in America, but there are certain issues that stand out and define and demonstrate the danger that our nation is in today. These are issues that, if not corrected, mean we have no country. At least, not in the manner of liberty and freedom and opportunity.

An out of control government is the biggest threat to this country. An out of control IRS is the biggest, ugliest, meanest and most blatantly political arm of this government. And they are nothing but a wing of the Democrat Party – and they don’t even try and hide it any more. We all saw that with the targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservatives.

But there’s more – and it may be worse. Under a policy called Civil Asset Forfeiture, the IRS can come in and seize your assets – literally for no good reason. According to the New York Times –a pro Democrat and pro-IRS outlet, this rule “allows law enforcement agents to take property they suspect of being tied to crime even if no criminal charges are filed. Law enforcement agencies get to keep a share of whatever is forfeited.” ... read full transcript here

IRS Seizes Life Savings For Deposits Under $10,000
Money confiscated even though no crime committed
THE POWER TO DESTROY, WND —
An Iowa woman who did not cheat on her taxes or launder money has had her entire life savings confiscated by the Internal Revenue Service simply because she deposited less than $10,000 at a time into the bank. “How can this happen?” restaurant owner Carole Hinders told the New York Times. “Who takes your money before they prove that you’ve done anything wrong with it?”

Hinders has been serving up Mexican dishes at her eatery in Arnolds Park, Iowa, for close to 40 years, all the while depositing her earnings in a small nearby bank. But last year, two tax agents showed up to inform her they had seized her checking account, almost $33,000, as the IRS interpreted her small deposits as an attempt to avoid triggering a required government report....

House Democrats Fear GOP Wave That Will Sink Party For Years
By Drew MacKenzie, Newsmax —
Democrats are deeply concerned they will suffer devastating losses in midterm House elections that will take years for the party to recover from, Politico reports. With Republicans spending a ton of cash in congressional races that were once comfortably liberal, there's a growing fear that not only will the GOP expand its 17-seat majority in the House next week, but Democrats will not win it back in 2016.

Democrats are caught in a financial dilemma whereby they have to stop pumping money into districts they are hoping to win and put it toward preventing once-safe seats from being captured by the GOP, according to Politico. In recent days, with President Barack Obama's popularity continuing to wane even among the party faithful, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has poured cash into races in Hawaii and Nevada, states which turned sharply left in 2012....

OUCH! This New ObamaCare Study Just Released Will Make Democrat Spin Doctors Utterly Sick
By Norvell Rose, Western Journalism —
Maybe Barack Obama and his loyal media spin doctors — like the ObamaCare cheerleaders at the New York Times — knew the results of this new study would cast a very dark shadow over the president’s health care takeover scheme…and possibly the critical midterm elections. Maybe that’s why the Times just published a lengthy report with a conclusion that runs completely counter to the real-world experiences of so many Americans. The paper’s finding?

One of the data points the New York Times uses in offering its cheerful defense of ObamaCare is that the number of Americans without health insurance has fallen significantly....

Yoga has been recognized as a “state religion” in a California school district, and an appeals court now is being asked to reject state officials’ arguments that the Hindu meditation and worship – which already has been affirmed as “religious” in a courtroom – has no more spiritual influence than football.

THE GRILLING OF THE IRS


Christian Information Radio
With Host Dr. Vic Eliason



On Today’s Show (June 24, 2014): The program opened with a World Watch Monitor report that Meriam Ibrahim, the Christian woman released from death row in Sudan on Monday, was arrested with her husband and two children at Khartoum airport on Tuesday as the family attempted to leave the country.

Hearings about IRS targeting of conservative organizations continue in the House of Representatives.

On Friday, June 20, in a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Paul Ryan expressed his frustration over IRS Commissioner John Koskinen’s attempts to explain why he promised that all the pertinent emails from ex-IRS official Lois Lerner would be provided, even though it was already known in the agency that thousands of those emails had been lost in a computer crash.

On Monday, June 23, in a separate hearing before the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa also proclaimed that he does not believe Koskinen's claims.

Rep. Jim Jordan asked Koskinen why it took so long to tell Congress that the emails were lost, and also why they have not reported the loss to the Justice Department or the FBI who would need them for evidence as they are conducting a criminal investigation of the same issue.


The concerns are in great part due to the fact that Lois Lerner's emails were subpoenaed by Congress 18 months ago, in 2013, and the IRS commissioner stated under oath that those emails were all archived--as is required of all government agencies.

Then on June 13, 2014, it was announced that the emails had been lost in a computer crash in 2011--and that other emails involving several employees, who are also implicated in the investigation, may have been lost as well. This includes emails between Lerner's office and the White House.


Interestingly, Lois Lerner’s computer allegedly crashed in June 2011, just ten days after House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Dave Camp first wrote a letter asking if the IRS was engaging in targeting of nonprofit groups.

Also discussed was the contrast between IRS demands that taxpayers be able to produce up to seven years of records for a tax audit, and the ability of the IRS itself to claim that it has lost the very records that pertain to congressional and Justice Department Criminal investigations of the agency.

EXCLUSIVE: CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE REVEALS TO ME WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI


Steadfast and Loyal


“And to those Democrats appointed to the committee: if you seek to obstruct the revelation of the truth, you are complicit and guilty as well.”

Allen West, — Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi. We had been supplying radical Islamists with weapons against Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, effectively supplying the enemy and destabilizing that country. And it seems that there was a CIA weapons buy-back program, the aim of which was to ship the retrieved weapons out of Libya through Turkey, and to the Islamist forces in Syria.

Benghazi and the operations in Libya are shrouded in a fog of lies, deceit, manipulation, threats, intimidation, coercion, abandonment, and worst of all, potentially treason.

No, it was not about a kidnapping scheme, it was about something, as I’ve stated, that will make Iran-Contra look like Romper Room. The web of lies spun is coming apart, and all other committee hearings on this matter should be shut down.

The House has established a Select Committee — quite telling that the same has not been done in the Senate — and those involved, to include the President, MUST appear before Rep. Trey Gowdy.

And to those Democrats appointed to the committee: if you seek to obstruct the revelation of the truth, you are complicit and guilty as well.

Am I afraid because of what I now know? Heck no. I’m honored to have been entrusted, so I for one can be on the right side of history. » Full Article

IS TREY GOWDY UP TO THE BENGHAZI CHALLENGE?


Former Muslim Brotherhood Member Now Peace Activist


When It’s Over, The American People Will Know
He Was Up To It

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat Foundation — Assuming events don’t transcend the Benghazi scandal (difficult to imagine), when the House Select Committee’s investigation is complete, one of two things will be learned. Either the American people will know when Rep. Trey Gowdy reached his breaking point or the former prosecutor from South Carolina will become an icon millions of Americans will gladly nominate as the next inductee into the country’s figurative, historical hall of fame.

The truth about Benghazi is really that bad. In fact, it’s so bad that should Gowdy – as he says – go wherever the facts lead, some extremely powerful and diabolical forces will be bearing down on him in ways many cannot comprehend. If he can withstand it, the most powerful figures and institutions in the U.S. Government will be suffering mortal blows; that’s a very tall order.

Conversely – and if you believe every man has a breaking point – Gowdy could buckle to that pressure, like the 9/11 Commission did. Instead of going up the chain to the sources of the Islamic terrorism behind 9/11 – the Saudi Royal family – that commission let the real perpetrators off the hook.

When it comes to Benghazi, Gowdy should factor in the problem of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. Government. Rep. Michele Bachmann attempted to do this in 2012 but was smeared by more members of her own party than who supported her. The reason this is so important is because regardless of what group the Benghazi attackers came from, each group resides under the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella.

In addition to Hillary Clinton’s closest adviser – Huma Abedin – being connected to both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudis, it was revealed earlier this month that one of the recipients of the ‘smoking gun’ email by White House Deputy Ben Rhodes on 9/14/12 included a Muslim Brotherhood agent on the distribution list – Mehdi K. Alhassani.

There is also the issue of Muslim Brotherhood’s Egyptian arm being involved in the attacks. This poses additional problems because at the time of the Benghazi attack, the Muslim Brotherhood was the official government of Egypt. It would mean that the U.S. installations in Benghazi were on the receiving end of an act of war by a nation state.

If Gowdy really wants the truth, he will need to subpoena the eight members of Congress who allegedly received a “highly classified” annex to the recent Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) report. That annex allegedly explains what the U.S. operation in Benghazi was all about – international weapons trafficking. According to legendary journalist Seymour Hersh, CIA Director David Petraeus was in charge of the operation being run out of the Benghazi Annex.

That operation involved rounding up the weapons in Libya used during the removal of Muammar Gadhafi and ship them to Syria via Turkey. According to Hersh’s sources, the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey funded the operation. After the attacks on 9/11/12, the operation was halted and the shipments ceased.

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was allegedly outraged this ‘rat line’ dried up and wanted the Obama administration to declare that Bashar al-Assad’s regime crossed Obama’s ‘red line’ so that the U.S. would have justification for publicly getting involved in ousting Assad.

There were attempts by the Erdogan administration to pressure Obama to do this between the time of the Benghazi attacks and the chemical attack that occurred in Syria in August of 2013.

Inexplicably, politicians on both sides of the political aisle advocated air strikes on Assad in response. Despite a lack of evidence that Assad was responsible – and plenty of evidence that the rebels were – even Republican members of Congress continued to call for air strikes.

According to Hersh, not only was Assad not involved but he was framed – by Erdogan.

U.S. Senators like John McCain (R-AZ) and Bob Corker (R-TN) maintained a very suspicious position that Assad was responsible while they ignored facts. Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) – the man responsible for appointing Gowdy to the House Select Committee – also expressed support for airstrikes. So did House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), who would have been one of the eight members of Congress who received that ‘highly classified’ annex to the SSCI report; ditto Boehner.

If Gowdy is truly up to the Benghazi challenge, he will need to subpoena or depose the man who appointed him to head the committee – Boehner – about that the annex to the SSCI report. He will also need to ask Boehner what the Speaker knew when he told talk radio show host Laura Ingraham that he was aware of weapons being shipped to Turkey from Benghazi. Gowdy will also need to subpoena or depose Petraeus, Rogers, and several other Republicans in addition to the suspect Democrats who either worked in the administration at the time of the attacks or are still doing so.

To this point, Gowdy has demonstrated the mettle necessary to confront corruption and fight for justice, regardless of what that fight requires. He doesn’t just get witnesses to make themselves look foolish; he also makes other Congressmen look foolish as well.

For example, during the Oversight Committee’s hearing on whether to vote to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt, Gowdy challenged his Democrat colleagues on the other side of the aisle to answer his questions. None did:

Trey Gowdy EXPLODES In Contempt Hearing For Lois Lerner


Gowdy also thoroughly embarrassed media figures during a news conference in January. None responded:

It Takes Trey Gowdy Just Three Minutes To Silence The Media

When it comes to expectations, Rep. Gowdy has passed the test with conservatives thirsting for a man driven by a desire to see that justice is served, corruption is dealt with, and accountability means consequences for misdeeds. How he handles the Benghazi investigation is nearly certain to be the biggest test of his life.

When it’s over, the American people will know if he was up to it. » Full Article
