Beirut Explosion – Negligence or Bombing?

This footage suggests that negligence alone might not have caused the ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse in Beirut’s harbour to have exploded. Like many Lebanese, the couple was filming the fire from their balcony. The woman heard what sounded like the approach of a plane and shouted a panicked warning just before the first detonation is heard. There is certainly a sound, clearly recorded in the video, to suggest it came from an external source. At that point, the fire was seen to suddenly flare-up, followed almost immediately by the first explosion. Moments later the second massive blast rocked the city and threw them off their feet. According to the above tweet the couple died in the conflagration that followed, however, subsequent reports say they were injured.

As the story of the bombing continues, more information has been forthcoming but it is still difficult to separate fact from speculation. There was definitely no sign of an aircraft in the moments before the first explosion, and the sound heard on the video may have been generated by the growing force of the fire.

The port was known to be under Hezbollah’s control and they must certainly have been fully aware of the unstable storage of the ammonium nitrate. There has been conjecture from some quarters that it was to be used by Hezbollah with the intention of launching an attack against Israel. If the explosion at the warehouse could indeed be laid at the feet of Hezbollah, or any other organisation for that matter, it could be construed as an act of war against the Lebanese people…

President Trump had his own suspicions regarding the explosion:

“We have a very good relationship with the people of Lebanon and we will be there to help. It looks like a terrible attack,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“I’ve met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that this was not some kind of manufacturing explosion type of an event … They seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind.”

The US president, however, did not present any evidence to back his claim.

In this rather horrible year, we have witnessed events that throw 2020 into stark focus and suggest that 2021 maybe worse!

Despite the seeming inevitability of war in the Middle East, inscribed in daily events, cross-border skirmishes with Israel and surrounding nations, Israel was among the first to offer help to Lebanon. And, in a gesture of solidarity with her shattered neighbour, Tel Aviv lit up with the Lebanese flag.

My heart goes out to Lebanon. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who suffered loss of family or friends, to those who were made homeless, to those who have lost businesses or their source of income, and to all who have been emotionally devastated by the events of August 4th, 2020. May God be with you as you deal with this massive personal blow, and work once again towards the healing and restoration of your country.

Temple in Jerusalem

According to the Rabbis, the Temple in Jerusalem belonged to no particular tribe, but to all Israel.  As if to prove this, the boundary between Judah and Benjamin passed through the middle of both the city and the Temple so that, according to tradition, the porch and the sanctuary were in Benjamin, while the altar and the Temple courts remained in Judah. The Shekinah, the divine presence of the Lord, filled the Temple of Solomon like a cloud  (2 Chron 5:13,14) so that the priests could no longer stand to minister.  God’s presence remained in the Holy of Holies for only a short season, and was never experienced in the Second Temple.   As the Rabbis lamented: “For three years and a half abode the Shekinah on the Mount of Olives, waiting whether Israel would repent, calling upon them, ‘Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near.’  And when all this was in vain, then the Shekinah returned to its own place.” The stones of the Temple sanctuary were twice “poured out in the top of every street” (Lamentations 4:1) on both occasions in the Jewish month of Av.  And at Tish B’Av, to this day, these events are remembered during a time of deep mourning by the Jews.  Twice also, there were those who wept as they prophesied the Temple’s coming destruction.  Jeremiah, the weeping prophet was imprisoned by King Zedekiah for his prophecies.  They were offensive; not what Judah’s king desired to hear, therefore the voice of the prophet had to be silenced.   Centuries later, Yeshua “beheld the city and wept ” as he rode out of Bethany on the foal of a donkey.  Like Jeremiah, Jesus was deemed to be offensive and a week later he was nailed to a Roman cross.

New World Order Leader – Israel’s Messiah?

Is it possible that the leader of the imminent New World Order, first officially proclaimed by George Bush Snr twenty-two years ago, (exactly eleven years before the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon) will be Israel’s Messiah?

Almost without exception, every religion believes in a coming, or returning, “Messianic” leader.   Christian and Judaic expectation culminates in the coming  of Messiah to his temple.  The New World Order under the auspices of the United Nations also intends to unite the world under a single world leader.  At the same time, the doctrines of Freemasonry and other esoteric groups depend on the appearance of such a leader.  According to Benjamin Creme,  the Maitreya is the “Avatar for the Aquarian Age” and has been living in London since 19 July 1977.

In full page adverts printed in newspapers world-wide in 1982, Creme put it this way: “A modern man concerned with modern problems, political, economic and social.  Since July 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country.  He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word – pointing the way out of our present crisis…’” [Read more…] about New World Order Leader – Israel’s Messiah?

Memories of Lebanon

Lebanon was one of the first loves of my life, and certainly one of the most abiding.  She lives with me still after all these years and I can recall her to mind much like William Wordsworth, in quiet moments, relived his picture of the daffodils.  My brother and I lived for a while in Beit Chaar, in a house with an intricately painted ceiling; in Beirut, and later in Chimlane.  From the upper terrace of the old house in Chimlane (the ‘new’ section was dated 1890) we looked down on Beirut which, reduced with distance to a minute cubism of pink and grey, leaned one languid arm into the flat blue of the Mediterranean Sea.  Below the house and the narrow winding streets of the village, olive orchards covered the rolling hills with a silver-green sheen.

Nimrod: Father of the Gods

There are many named Father of the Gods, but all point back to Nimrod.  He was the first deified individual, and it was through him that the deification of mortals began.

Once the mighty son of Cush attained godhood, his father also gained immortality with the gods.  We have spoken of Semiramis in our previous post: she too gained deification through her son.  And here, as we have discussed, lies the confusion.  Ninus, the son, is at the same time Nimrod, the husband.  The deeds of Nimrod are attributed to Ninus, while the deeds of Ninus, the son, elevate the mother.

Global Economy – What is the Future?

Global analysts are questioning whether the present economic turmoil  will result in a fallout for emerging markets.  Gloom deepens as fears of the whispered double dip intensify.  Some analysts are predicting that the fall of the markets will be far greater that 2008/9.

Finance ministers and central bankers from the world’s 20 leading nations met on Thursday 21st, in Washington, D.C., for an economic summit and the annual meeting of the 187-nation IMF.

Head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde said, “The current economic situation is entering a dangerous phase.”  She urged the major nations to coordinate efforts to contain global risks. [Read more…] about Global Economy – What is the Future?

Deceived?

To one extent or another, we are all party to deception.  There’s plenty of it around.  Think of the number of times, for example, you’ve been told that you’re the winner of a vast sum of money.  Our last one was a couple of days ago.

“Don’t delete it from the inbox,” I pleaded.  “Let me check it first, who knows, this one might be genuine.”  I was privy to the look from my husband, “From the United Nations – with no letter head?”  He hit the delete key. [Read more…] about Deceived?

Anti-Massacree Movement

For reasons that will become apparent to most readers, I have chosen the backdoor for my books.  Nimrod Twice Born and Opus Dei are a thrust at those who plot behind the backs of the innocents.  The books are intended, at least partially, to rip the cover off their conspiracy.  I don’t believe that anything will stop them bringing their plan to fruition; they have the bit between their teeth on the final lap.  I do believe in giving them a run for their money.

In the words of Arlo Guthrie, for those of us who are old enough to remember his song,  Alice’s Restaurant, I want to make this a “Movement”.   An Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement.”  Read my books and pass on the word… [Read more…] about Anti-Massacree Movement

Opus Dei

Opus Dei is a novel set in Lebanon and Israel spanning a period from the ‘70’s to the fascinating years that lie just ahead of us – culminating in 2016. Pierre Zein, a Lebanese journalist, probes the forces behind the scenes intent on creating a New World Order. He finds himself embroiled in something far bigger than he could have imagined.

Islam’s Expected One, the al Mahdi, enters the world scene and engages in a silent battle with a leader who arises like a meteor from Europe.  This is the clash of the Titans – a struggle for ultimate power – and only one man can win.

What makes Jerusalem the focal-point of the coming conflict and what role is played by Egypt and Babylon?  Expect Opus Dei to uncap the mysteries.  The sacred Egyptian texts hint at a hidden chamber or chambers beneath the Giza Pyramid and the Sphinx.  If the Great Pyramid is a masterpiece in understated engineering perfection, what can we expect from the secret places beneath its foundation?  What part do these mysteries play in a soon-to-be-formed World Government?

Is the coming world leader a benign dictator or a religious leader, a king, priest, or emperor?  Is he the Christ, or Osiris reborn?  Does his assumption of power herald a time of peace – or mayhem such as our planet has never before experienced?

Dan Brown, in his popular novel, The Da Vinci Code, familiarised his readership with the Catholic movement, Opus Dei and the secretive Priory de Sion .  Opus Dei explores Dan Brown’s theme and reveals the real purpose behind these, and other, arcane organisations.

Read of the conspiracy behind the War on Terror and experience the real terror as, with the revelation of the Shiite Twelfth Imam, jihad moves onto the offensive and the plan for world domination unfolds.  In Israel, a militant Jewish organisation razes the Dome of the Rock, and the region is plunged into war.   Out of the conflagration, a New Order is birthed; one that ultimately intends to destroy the Holy Land.

Opus Dei offers a prophetic word for our time.  It gathers together the prophecies found in the myths and demonstrates their flow with the biblical prophecies, revealing them in a startlingly new and believable scenario.

World government under one man becomes a reality in 2013, plunging the planet onto a roller-coaster from which it seems unlikely to ever recover.  At the same time, this is a novel with a human face: the story of a family living in Beirut during a time of protracted war and upheaval.

Written over a period of more than thirty years, Opus Dei is comprehensively researched, its plot intricately woven, and is guaranteed to challenge.  Opus Dei, the work of the hidden god is almost complete.
