Hamas to Re-Arm

-

Synopsis:

  • Israeli spy satellites have spotted an Iranian ship being loaded with missiles that analysts say may be headed for Gaza, The Sunday Times reported.
  • According to the report, the cargo may include Fajr-5 rockets, like those that were fired by Hamas toward Israel and the stockpiles of which the Israel Defense Forces depleted during the recent round of fighting across the Gaza border, in addition to Shahab-3 ballistic missiles, which could be stationed in Sudan to pose a direct threat to Israel.
  • The shipment was reportedly prepared last week, at the same time as Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire that would end the eight-day long Operation Pillar of Defense.
  • On Saturday, Reuters reported that senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar said Hamas would continue to arm itself with the help of Iran, though the truce signed in Cairo calls for a cessation of rocket fire at Israel, which Israel gave as its reason for launching its attacks in mid-November.
  • "We have no choice but to continue to bring in weapons by all possible means," Zahar said, adding that he expected Tehran would "increase its military and financial support to Hamas".
  • “Regardless of the cease-fire agreement, we will attack and destroy any shipment of arms to Gaza once we have spotted it,” an Israeli defense source told the Times.

CRISITUNITY

Well, my time at the NSW Police Force as an IT Support Officer has finished. It's a shame to see what's happening there. The bean-counters have cut some really skilled people, simply to "save money", a false economy really, as the jobs will still need to be attended to. On the bright side I think I'm gonna like my new boss, I'm going to be working for myself! So if you're within cooee of Bathurst NSW Australia, and need a skilled, qualified, and friendly IT guy on a short term, temporary, or single-use basis, I'm your guy. The Chinese have the same word for crisis and opportunity. I don't know how they pronounce it, but in Engrish, it's CRISITUNITY!

After the Rapture

  After the Rapture Purpose of this Document: While the western view of Prophecy is prediction and fulfillment, there is an additional view of prophecy you might call ‘typological’ prophecy. The idea here is that in History, God maintains an orderly way of dealing with mankind, what is in view here is the typological ‘Period of Testing’ endured by the Nation of Israel at the time of the Exodus, again following the Crucifixion of Christ, and may again endure following the rapture of the Church. Also in this document we’ll look at what the Tribulation Church will look like, how it will become strong and fearless in the face of a hostile world. There are concepts contained in this document that require a prior knowledge of Biblical concepts – for example Tribulation, Rapture, Jubilees, prophetic images of Daniel and Revelation etc. We will also look at when the window for the Rapture opens, and potentially, when it closes . Period of ‘Testing’ – Building a strong Ch...

First BBQ of the Summer

-
Had our first barbeque of the summer last night. It was great. Glenn, Yollanda and Kira came over and we threw some darts, cooked up the chicken, sausages, bacon, etc, all sat down and had a great feed. Glenn and I had some intensive "real" darts practice with averages between 16 and low 20's ("real" means simulating pub conditions), the beer was flowing and so was the Irish music (thanks Will). =)
