4. Foreign Ministry: International conferences distance peace - Israel National News
The Foreign Ministry on Monday evening rejected the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council's decision to adopt the French peace initiative and act to convene an international peace conference in accordance.
"Peace with the Palestinians can only be achieved through direct, bilateral negotiations without preconditions," the Foreign Ministry said.
"International conferences like the ones welcomed today by European Union's Foreign Affairs Council distance peace because they allow the Palestinians to continue to avoid direct talks and compromise," the ministry added.
A statement released by the EU Foreign Affairs Council said it "reiterates its support for a just, sustainable and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and peace and stability in the region. The EU is determined, alongside other international and regional partners, to bring a concrete and substantial contribution to a global set of incentives for the parties to make peace."

"I'm worried about the incitement against [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and other leaders," Likud MK Avi Dichter, the chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said on Sunday, referring to the harsh criticism recently leveled by former Defense Ministers Moshe Ya'alon and Ehud Barak, as well as other leftist politicians, against Netanyahu. "We saw what happened in England, where differences over policies led to the tragic event of a parliament member being murdered."
Dichter stated that "The incitement in Israel crossed every line long ago." He further noted that leftist claims of "budding fascism" in Israel were "bizarre."

The eight-justice court has eight cases to resolve in the waning days of a trying and mournful term since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. Some of those cases still could end in a 4-4 tie that would leave the lower court decision in place without setting a nationwide precedent.

Altering laws and times: FBI claims allah is God
The US Department of Justice and the FBI are among the latest in the "president's" administration to use the name allah and God interchangeably. This is a disgrace. While there are minor differences between reputable Jewish and Christian scholars on the true name of the one true God, it is not allah. Yet presidents Bush, Clinton, Bush, and the current "president" all say they are the same. Now the FBI and the Department of Justice are saying God (YHVH) and allah are one the same. This is blasphemy and should be offensive to every Christian and Jew. The FBI re-released a redacted transcript of the Orlando terrorist attack, restating references to Islamic State, but changing references of "allah" to God.
Justice and the FBI Monday released a joint statement regarding the Orlando terrorist attack, saying: "The purpose of releasing the partial transcript of the shooter's interaction with 911 operators was to provide transparency...Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate this heinous crime. As much of this information had been previously reported, we have re-issued the complete transcript to include these references in order to provide the highest level of transparency possible under the circumstances."
In reissuing the complete transcript, the FBI altered a major fact: they replaced "allah" with "God" in every use of the name during the 50 second transcript and put the describer "[Arabic]" next to the word "God" in each instance. YHVH God does not instruct his people to kill Christians and Jews wherever they are seen. The Koran, the "holy" book of "allah" and the so-called prophet Mohammad, does. It does so contextually and repeatedly. The one true God does not call for enslaving people, beating women, compelling conversion, rape, sodomy, lying, steeling, or murder. The Koran and the hadiths of Islam do-in context and repeatedly. There is no association between allah and YHVH God. None.
The Koran says in Sura 19:29: "Allah forbid that He Himself should beget a son!" Sura 17:111, says "Praise be to Allah who has never begotten a son; who has no partner in His Kingdom..." 2 John 7 says, "Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist." We must, at some point, put away our worldly distractions long enough to see what is happening. If this government will lie about God, who is wrapped in our national heritage, there is no end to its deception. With the FBI saying that allah is God, is it not bowing to Sharia? Is this a type and shadow of the Daniel 7 prophecy of altering the laws and the times?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Ramadan Prayers

Prayers During Ramadan:
June 21st: NIGER
The landlocked North African nation of Niger, a country of sand dunes and desert plains, still has the fresh flavor of freedom on its lips. Under military rule for thirty-one years, violent coups and bloody political infighting have finally unfolded into a fledgling democracy. One of the richest sources of uranium in the world, Niger has instead focused on developing agriculture and raising livestock. Future economic growth is hoped to be found in the mining of gold, coal, and recently discovered oil.
One of the poorest countries in the world, the agricultural economy is frequently destroyed by drought, making it insufficient to support the growing population. Slavery is still practiced in isolated areas of the country. Nigerian children are trafficked for labor in gold mines, sexual exploitation, and begging. Women are abducted and sold into domestic servitude or prostitution, and young boys are kidnapped for work in stone quarries. A land dispute between Libya remains unresolved and often triggers acts of violence.
Less than one percent of the population claims the Christian faith. Ninety-seven percent of the nation is Muslim, with 76% of the people listed as unreached ethnic groups. Christianity is slowly growing through humanitarian efforts such as well-digging, agricultural development, and education. The number of Evangelicals triples every year, though that is not keeping up with population growth. The cultural pressure to maintain the Islamic faith continues to hinder outreach efforts, though indigenous pastors, many of whom have converted to Christianity from Islam themselves, are stepping up as leaders in the fledgling church. Niger still has the taste of political freedom on their tongue. May spiritual freedom in Christ soon quench their eternal thirst with His bottomless well of compassion.
PRAYER POINTS
- Pray for focused efforts to evangelize those under the age of 15, half of the overall population.
- Pray for speed and accuracy for the workers translating the Scriptures for many barely reached people groups.
- Pray for a visible Christian presence in society and peace among struggling believers who feel isolated.
