There is an agenda here and the LORD is not taken by surprise. This is all leading to a one world religion and government that will control the lives of all those who are living on this earth. Conspiracy theory? Wait and you will see it unfold right in front of your eyes! These so-called democracies have sold themselves and their citizens out supposedly to keep them safe from the Wuhan Flu and climate change! Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

‘Israel has been at the top of the game since the coronavirus pandemic began. The country has taken every possible step and has been applauded for being able to keep Covid under control.
While the world struggles to complete two doses of vaccination for all eligible students, Israel’s coronavirus czar, Salman Zarka, has hinted towards a fourth dose of Covid vaccine.’https://www.wionews.com/world/new-normal-israels-health-expert-says-fourth-shot-of-covid-vaccine-needed-410904
‘I have a bigger Stack planned on the Pfizer trial results.
But Israel has gone back to being more transparent, and the new data are now too bad not to highlight.
A reminder – Israel and the United Kingdom were the two major countries that vaccinated earliest and most aggressively. And they are much better at providing data than the United States – they provide updates every day, which limits their opportunities to manipulate it.
Israel is now segmenting the number of serious cases by vaccinated and unvaccinated and by age on its primary data dashboard, available here:
You can use Google translate and check it for yourself. It’s actually pretty straightforward.
So here’s the chart of new serious cases each day:
As you can see, new serious cases have risen 10-fold since the beginning of July – from roughly five a day to about 40 over the last week. The overall number of patients has soared too – from 30 to more than 200.
But how many of those people are vaccinated?
The vast majority. Israel has broken out the data in various ways at various times, but throughout July most new patients were not vaccinated.
In an effort to play down that reality, Israel has begun to provide data comparing RATES of serious illness in older people who were not vaccinated and those who were. And those show that as of now, unvaccinated people are still becoming seriously ill significantly more frequently than those who aren’t.
But that comparison hides a very big problem.
Israel did an excellent job convincing people over 60 to be vaccinated. Only about 1 person in 15 in that age range didn’t receive at least one dose. Fewer than 1 in 10 is not fully vaccinated.
Why should you care? Because the tiny fraction of older people who are unvaccinated in Israel at this point are almost certainly materially different than the vast majority who are. As far as I know, the Israel government hasn’t broken out the differences. But given the pressure to vaccinate, a significant number of those older unvaccinated people are likely simply too sick to tolerate the vaccine – especially those over 80, where overall vaccination rates are even higher.
But if they are too sick to tolerate the vaccine, they are obviously at much higher risk from Covid than the vaccinate. In other words, ability (and propensity) to be vaccinated is likely a marker for overall health. Researchers know this is true of the influenza vaccine – once they adjust for the fact that older people who get the vaccine are healthier to start than than those who don’t, the advantage the vaccine seems to offer mostly disappears.
So the comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated isn’t useful.
What is useful is examining the trend among serious illness in older vaccinated people.
And it is terrible. The rate of cases has risen 12-fold IN A MONTH. On July 4th, fewer than 1 older vaccinated person in 100,000 became seriously ill. Today the rate is 10 in 100,000.
Remember – comparing unvaccinated and vaccinated at this point hardly matters. THE DARK GREEN LINE IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS:
And though we cannot be sure what will happen next, it is worth noting that rates of serious illness among the vaccinated are now as high as they were among the unvaccinated only TWO WEEKS AGO. Perhaps that’s why the Israeli government is now predicting a further quadrupling of new serious cases by the end of August:
A quadrupling would represent 800 serious cases, approaching the peak of the winter surge (which was itself probably FUELED by a spike in cases following the first vaccine dose) – and far more than at this time last year.
And remember, Israel CANNOT BLAME THE UNVACCINATED FOR THIS SPIKE – around 85 percent of adults over 30 are fully vaccinated. That’s well above the range experts said would provide herd immunity.
And yet instead of pulling back and at least considering a pause on vaccinations as it digests the disaster of the last month, Israel is going the other way – pushing a third dose on the elderly. Meanwhile the cry to mandate or quasi-mandate vaccinations in the United States is only getting louder.

The “UNRWA is fully controlled by Hamas,” warns a senior researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies.”
The following article will not surprise most conservatives as they have probably experinced the wrath of Facebook and the other Marxist big tech social media outlets! Now, Marxist left leaning ‘Facebook removed a popular pro-Israel Christian prayer page on May 18; the founder of the page claims that they were the targets of a cyberterrorism campaign.
The Jerusalem Prayer Team (JPT) page, which led followers in daily prayers for Israel’s safety during the recent conflict with Hamas, had 77 million Facebook followers prior to being shut down. Dr. Mike Evans, who heads the page as well as the Friends of Zion Association, has claimed that “a Jordanian-based cyber-terrorist organization flooded our page with comments like ‘Jews are pigs,’ we’ve never seen anything like it in our lives,” Arutz Sheva reported. Other comments included Adolf Hitler pictures and quotes. The organization allegedly behind the comments then reported those comments to Facebook, Evans claimed.
Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) reported that various YouTube channels and Facebook pages were urging people to target the page in order to get Facebook to remove it, with some claiming that Facebook was “forcing people to like” the page, per CBN.
“It was a very clever, deceptive plan by Islamic radicals,” Evans told CBN.
According to CBN, when JPT appealed the verdict, Facebook responded by saying: “We can’t review appeals at this time due to a shortage of reviewers caused by the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. Since you are unable to access the page, this means that appealing is no longer an option.” Evans also claimed that he can no longer access his personal Facebook page.
“America is a democracy, in the United States you are innocent until proven otherwise,” Evans said. “What did we do? What was our crime?”
A spokesperson from Facebook told the New York Post, “We removed Jerusalem Prayer Team’s Facebook Page for violating our rules against spam and inauthentic behavior.” The Journal’s request for comment to Facebook’s press team was not returned.
Writer Jazz Shaw wrote in a May 19 post for the conservative website Hot Air, “Facebook and Twitter have been on a hot streak ever since Hamas resumed its rocket attacks on Israel. Anyone who wants to publicly vent their hatred of Israel, accusing them of ‘war crimes’ or whatever the flavor of the week might be is welcome to do so. That’s just an exercise in ‘free speech,’ you see. But if you’re defending Israel–or perhaps even just praying for the safety of the Jews–your page is engaging in ‘inauthentic behavior’ so you’re violating their terms of service.”’https://jewishjournal.com/news/337681/facebook-takes-down-christian-pro-israel-page/

‘With all the ruckus in the Mid-East try your hand at the test below as The Creation Guy, John Mackay, and the world-wide Creation Research team share both blessings and difficulties in this 19th May email.
MIDDLE EAST IQ TEST
Q. Which nation did God promise He would make great?
Answer: The descendants of Ishmael – the founder of the Arabs (Genesis 21:18)
Q. What is the only nation in the world that can claim God-given land rights?
Answer: The descendants of Israel, aka Jacob, grandson of Abraham via Isaac. (Genesis 15:18-21, 26:1-5 and 35:9-12)
Q. What is the basic cause of the conflict in the Middle East?
Answer: A man listened to his wife instead of listening to God. Read about Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 16.
Q. What caused Abraham to ignore God’s promise to give him and Sarah a son?
Answer: Abraham’s Sin
Q. MULTICHOICE: What is the solution to conflict in the Middle East?
Take the oil wealth off the Arabs?
Send more American smart weapons to Israel?
Get all Christians to support Israel?
None of the above?
Only Answer: It certainly was none of the above which don’t deal with the basic problem of sin that afflicts both Arabs and Jews. As you pray for the peace of Jerusalem, show real love when you share with both Arabs and Jews that their only hope lies in Jesus Christ, who alone can provide forgiveness of their sin. And remember there are Christians in both nations (Arab and Jew) who are doing it tough at present and need your support.
As you do so, remind your friends and enemies that the Creator God has kept His promise to both groups of Abraham’s descendants. The Arabs are certainly great nations actually enriched by the wealth of oil purchased by the rest of the world, and the Jews are certainly tenacious about their God-given land rights, all of which points to another of God’s promises – Christ will be returning as Lord and Judge of all the earth so make sure you are ready!
PS: The Middle East situation is a good illustration of the scriptural principle that the origin of something always determines the meaning, so beware any who skip Genesis in order to preach the Gospel. It can’t be done!’https://creationresearch.net/
The Hollow man who is Australia’s ‘…Prime Minister has issued a stern warning to Australians about tensions in the Middle East after a woman was arrested for allegedly burning the Israeli flag during protests in Sydney.
Police allege the woman was spotted walking down a busy street while carrying a burning flag after officers were alerted to an unauthorised protest involving about 200 people on The Boulevarde in Lakemba on Tuesday night.
It comes as violence flared between Israel and Palestine, with the death toll rising.
The woman was allegedly seen waving the flag as she walked down the street.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has urged people not to “import” the Middle East conflict into Australia.
“Of course, we’re all very concerned for what’s happening there,” he told 2GB radio on Thursday.
“We’ve been urging restraint from all parties involved there to not take any unilateral action on those very stressful and tense situations that we’re finding there.
“But those things should not be played out here in Australia. We’re a peaceful country, we believe in a two-state solution … we want to ensure that people live in this country with tolerance and respect.
“We do not want to import the troubles of other parts of the world into this country.”
Police intervened as the woman walked down the street.
Police said officers were conducting patrols during Ramadan when they became aware of the protest, then liaised with the organiser to “assist with the safe facilitation of the demonstration”.
“About 9.30pm, police observed a woman walking down the street through traffic and holding an Israeli flag that was on fire,” police said in a statement.
“The flag was removed from her possession and as it was being extinguished, the woman ran from police.
“She was detained a short time later and was spoken to by police before being issued a move-on direction.
“A large crowd had gathered but remained compliant and dispersed a short time later.”
The 48-year-old woman has been issued with a court attendance notice for allegedly behaving in an offensive manner in a public place and wilfully preventing free passage of person or vehicle.
She is scheduled to face Bankstown Local Court on July 8.’https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/prime-minister-scott-morrisons-stern-warning-to-australians-over-conflict-between-israel-and-palestine/news-story/300eb5486c310bc82b9f2f1257c803da
Lakemba is a Muslim Sydney hotspot and those who live there are sometimes above the law. If this woman gets more than a slap on the wrist it will be surprising.
Isaiah 46:13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
‘Palestinian terror groups such as Hamas have a surefire strategy to win over the world’s sympathy: fire rockets into Israeli territory, trigger an Israeli response and wait for the global outrage against Israel’s response.
The strategy is effective because Israel is so darn good at protecting its citizens from missile attacks, thanks to ubiquitous bomb shelters and a sophisticated Iron Dome missile defense. So, if the terror rockets don’t kill any Jews, but the forced retaliations kill Palestinians, anyone biased against Israel will have a field day.
Consider, for example, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who flipped the script and accused Israel of committing an “act of terrorism” with its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on May 10, which resulted in the deaths of 20 Palestinians.
“Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism,” Omar tweeted. “Palestinians deserve protection.”
Indeed, they do. They deserve protection from their murderous, corrupt and Jew-hating leaders who deliberately provoke Israel into retaliatory strikes that they know endangers the lives of their people.
Provoking Israel into killing Palestinians is the perfect diversion from the blatant failures of Palestinian leadership to improve the welfare of its people. Abbas canceling the PA elections? Israel’s fault. Trouble on Temple Mount? Israel’s fault. Chronic poverty and misery? Israel’s fault. A legal dispute over houses in East Jerusalem? Let’s fire rockets into Israeli cities and blame Israel for the reprisals.
Meanwhile, these cowardly leaders sit comfortably in their villas and bunkers basking in the world’s endorsement that, yes, it must be Israel’s fault.
If only more Jews would die during these rocket attacks, maybe the world would have more sympathy for the Jewish state. Does anybody doubt Hamas would love nothing better than to see thousands of Jews die from their rocket attacks? That’s their mission. They admit it. But because relatively so few Jews die from these rocket attacks, a pathetic international community simply sides with those with more casualties.’https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/columnist/editors-note/336478/while-terrorists-try-to-murder-jews-rep-ilhan-omar-flips-the-script/
One would think that a Jewish family would be safe in their own nation, Israel! Well, think again!!
‘A Jerusalem family says they escaped by a “miracle” after their car was surrounded in an Arab neighborhood and pelted with bricks that smashed out all of the windows, narrowly missing them, Channel 20 reported Wednesday.
Rivka Stern said she and her husband were driving to the Old City of Jerusalem Tuesday from their home in Ra’anana in central Israel with their daughter Maki when they were attacked.
“We were traveling to pray at the Kotel and WAZE took us via At-Tur by way of Mt. Scopus,” Stern told Channel 20, referring to the Arab neighborhood on the Mount of Olives across from the Old City.
She said her husband called to check with security before they traveled to ensure the route was okay, and were told it was safe to travel there, just not at night.
Maki said that as they were on the main street of At-Tur heading towards the Old City, they suddenly heard shouting and the back of their car came under a barrage of rocks.
“Tens of youths surrounded the car and my husband locked the doors,” Stern said. “We knew that something terrible was happening behind us. From in front a lot of bricks were thrown at us and the Holy One blessed be He saved us.”
The windows were smashed and the Arabs tried to open the doors but failed.
“My husband tried to get out of there, but we were stuck in a traffic jam from both sides,” she said, adding that “nobody came” to help them.
“There was serious panic because we thought it was the end,” she added.
Stern called the police who arrived within 10 minutes, and in the meantime the Arab driver of a minibus in front of them was able to help by moving his vehicle enough to let them pass.
Stern said another Israeli car with a young ultra-Orthodox couple arrived a few minutes later, also with its windows smashed out.
She showed one of the paving bricks that was thrown through the windows.
“When the say on the news a ‘stone attack,’ you imagine small stones,” Maki said. “These were bricks … you can only imagine if one hit you, you would be dead.”
Police said the incident was caught on security cameras, and the family went to a police station afterwards to give evidence.
The attack occurred the same day that Israeli police announced that “calm” had been restored and removed a ban on Arabs congregating at the Damascus Gate of the Old City, where evening riots have been taking place for the past week.’https://worldisraelnews.com/israeli-family-on-way-to-pray-nearly-killed-by-arab-mob-in-jerusalem-saved-by-miracle/

‘JERUSALEM–Israel is revising military options for a possible clash with Iran, an Israeli newspaper reported on Thursday, as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s government braces for differences with the incoming US administration on Iranian nuclear policy.
US President Donald Trump delighted Netanyahu by quitting the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimposing sanctions on it that had been lifted in return for limits on activities that could potentially produce nuclear weapons in the future.
Tehran responded by breaching many of those restrictions. US President-elect Joe Biden wants to rejoin the deal if Tehran, which denies seeking the bomb, returns to strict compliance.
Israel, alarmed by Iranian rhetoric that claims it should not exist, is wary of the softer line, even though threats of US military action from Trump did not curtail Iran’s nuclear moves.
A front-page article in Israel’s largest-circulation daily said the military is crafting three options to “undermine Iran’s nuclear efforts or, if need be, counter Iranian aggression, which will soon be presented to the government.”
The paper, Israel Hayom, did not cite any sources. But it went on to quote Defence Minister Benny Gantz as saying: “Israel needs to have a military option on the table.”
Israel has long had plans in place to counter Iran. The article appeared designed to signal that these were now being updated.
During the tenure of former US President Barack Obama, which championed diplomacy with Iran, Israel occasionally threatened preventive airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites.
Some US officials at the time doubted that Israel, whose advanced military includes a reputed nuclear arsenal, could effectively hit Iranian targets that are distant, dispersed and well-defended.
Israeli officials have voiced hope that Biden will maintain Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran, involving tough sanctions, until the Iranian nuclear programme is dismantled.
But one of them, Israeli Finance Minister Israel Katz, acknowledged on Army Radio: “There are disputes (with Biden) regarding the perspective on Iran, and of course that will prove challenging.”
Katz sounded encouraged by Biden’s intent to include Iran’s ballistic missile programme in any re-negotiation of the nuclear deal. Biden’s pick for US national security adviser Jake Sullivan signalled openness to consulting “regional players” — a possible allusion to Israel — during a January 3 interview with CNN
Israeli Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen told Ynet TV the Netanyahu government was not yet in formal dialogue with the incoming administration. But asked if Israel was trying through informal channels to sway Biden on Iran, Cohen said: “Yes. There are efforts.”’https://thearabweekly.com/israel-braces-differences-biden-iran-floats-military-options
