I'm thankful that no one was hurt at the EWTN mass this morning, thank God for that. Although there are extremists in every walk of life, this one person's actions are not generally supported by any Catholics that I am aware of. I also agree that incidents like this should not be a reason to create division. *** On another subject, Greece needs our prayers right now. State of emergency as more quakes strike Greek island By Mark Armstrong • last updated: 04/11/2018 | https://www.euronews.com/2018/11/04/state-of-emergency-as-more-quakes-strike-greek-island Greek authorities have declared a state of emergency on the island of Zakynthos after two earthquakes struck within seven minutes of each other on Sunday morning. The area has seen a sharp spike in seismic activity in recent days according to the Athens Geodynamic Insitute. Both tremors happened just after five o'clock in the morning, the first 78km south of the island and the second a few minutes later 59km to the southwest Zakynthos was hit with a 6.4 earthquake in late October, causing some damage but no loss of life, and has been hit with dozens of strong aftershocks since. A series of quakes in August 1953 killed more and 450 people and flattened lots of houses on the island.
Prayers for the following, Cameroon school kidnap: More than 70 pupils seized in Bamenda November 5, 2018 | https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-46096924 Image copyright .Image caption In the video released of the children the man holding the camera turns it on himself at the end Dozens of people, mostly school pupils, have been kidnapped from a boarding school in the west of Cameroon. At least 79 students and three others, including the principal, were seized early on Monday morning in Bamenda, the capital of the North-West region, a government official has told the BBC. A massive search operation involving the Cameroonian army is now under way. Cameroon's North-West and South-West regions have been hit by a secessionist rebellion in recent years. Regional governor Adolphe Lele L'Afrique blamed separatist militias for the kidnapping. Africa Live: More on this and other African stories Cameroon's English-speaking rebels Militias, who have been demanding the independence of the two English-speaking regions, have called for a school boycott. But no single group has said it carried out the kidnapping at Bamenda's Presbyterian Secondary School, which has pupils aged between 10 and 14. A video of some of the children, believed to have been filmed by one of the kidnappers, is being shared on social media. The students, all boys and crammed into a tiny room, all look nervous as the person holding the camera orders them to say their names and where they are from. They also repeat the phrase: "I was taken from school last night by the Amba boys, I don't know where I am." Amba is short for Ambazonia, the name of the new country that the separatists want to create. One student, who managed to avoid capture by hiding under a bed, told the BBC that events unfolded quickly as the kidnappers entered the school. "One of my friends, they beat him mercilessly. All I could think about was to just stay quiet. They threatened to shoot some people... all the big boys they rounded up, and the small ones they left them behind." A teacher at the school described what she saw as she entered the principal's office after students had been taken from different dormitories. "The military came in and went to the principal's house where we realised that her door was bashed and entered into, the glasses are still there on the ground," she told the BBC. 'Praying for the kidnapped' The moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, the Right Reverend Fonki Samuel Forba told the BBC that he had spoken to the kidnappers. "They don't want any ransom. All they want is for us to close the schools. We have promised to close down the schools," he told the BBC. "We hope and pray they release the kids and the teachers," he added. It is not the first time students have been abducted in the area, known to be a stronghold of separatist fighters, reports the BBC's Ngala Killian Chimtom. On 19 October, five students of the Atiela Bilingual High School were taken by unidentified gunmen. Their whereabouts are still unknown. The separatists say that the Cameroon school system suppresses the English-speaking system that the North-West and South-West regions inherited from the British. Separatist rebellion The militias, who want to create Ambazonia, began to emerge in 2017 after a security force crackdown on mass protests, led by lawyers and teachers, over the government's alleged failure to give enough recognition to the English legal and education systems in the North-West and South-West. The government was accused of relying heavily on people trained in the French legal and educational tradition to work in key posts and generally marginalising Cameroon's English-speaking minority, who make up about 20% of the population. President Paul Biya, who has been in power since 1982, was recently re-elected for a seventh term with more than 70% of the vote. Opposition parties allege that the poll was rigged, but legal attempts to overturn the result failed.

I am relatively new here and am scared by what I see all around me. Brother fighting against brother, child against mother, etc. Also the Catholic schools in Ontario Canada are now teaching their students sex ed and about how gay is normal in grade 3 and about masturbation in grade 6. Gender identity, sexual orientation is all throughout all the years in the school. Catholic Schools are taught the same thing as the Public Schools. https://www.ontario.ca/page/sex-education-ontario#section-1 and https://www.stopradicalsexed.ca/analysis_of_the_sex_ed_curriculum Also even the Catholic Church .. mass is less about God and more about community and each other. I now prefer to go to the Latin Mass which puts God first still. I am also afraid of being deceived with sites I have seen that are trying to say that Mary IS God when I know that Mary is the Virgin Mother of Jesus the Son of God. I have been seeing this new movement lately and people not paying attention to it but glancing over it and then sharing it thinking it is correct until I point out what it is actually saying. Has anyone seen that Maryisgod website? I came across it 2 days ago. Was not happy. It is being spread on Facebook.
https://www.weeklyblitz.net/news/sinkholes-appeared-on-the-temple-mounts-gate-of-mercy/ Sinkholes appeared on the Temple Mount’s Gate of Mercy November 6, 2018 Editor Blitz 0 Comments Hashem, Jerusalem, Messiah ShareTweet Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz The Temple Mount has been the scene of several strange phenomena recently; large sections of the ancient stones suddenly falling away, an inexplicable mist that surrounded the Dome of the Rock, a snake crawling out from between the rocks, and now, a sinkhole has appeared adjacent to the Gate of Mercy. Jewish visitation to the Temple Mount is severely limited and the sections of the compound which Jews are permitted to visit are likewise restricted. As such, changes that occur on site are not always immediately noticed. Though the Temple Mount is a bit removed from the geologically active Jordan Rift, a pre-Messiah earthquake is prophesied to drastically change the topography of Jerusalem. On that day, He will set His feet on the Mount of Olives, near Yerushalayim on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall split across from east to west, and one part of the Mount shall shift to the north and the other to the south, a huge gorge. Zechariah 14:4 It may be that this dramatic geologic development has already begun. About one month ago, Jews going up to the Temple Mount began to notice a change in the sidewalk adjacent to the area of the stairs going down to Sha’ar HaRachamim (the Gate of Mercy), or Golden Gate as it is known in Christian literature. The sidewalk had sunk visibly and the was cracking as if the ground was opening up underneath the paving stones. The location is highly significant. The gate is described in the prophecy as the gate through which the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) used to appear and will appear again when the Anointed One (Messiah) comes to enter the Third Temple. And Hashem said to me: This gate is to be kept shut and is not to be opened! No one shall enter by it because Hashem, the God of Yisrael, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut. Only the prince may sit in it and eat bread before Hashem, since he is a prince; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall depart by the same way. Ezekiel 44:2-3 The gate was sealed by the Muslims in 810 CE, opened by the Crusaders in 1102 CE, and sealed again by Suleiman in 1541 CE. It has been conjectured by scholars that the motivation for sealing the gate was a Muslim attempt to prevent the arrival of the Messiah. Rabbi Yosef Berger, rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion and a member of the nascent Sanhedrin, believes he may have had a hand in the recent underground activities leading to the sinking sidewalk. “Just before Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), the Sanhedrin stood outside the Sha’ar HaRachamim and blew shofars,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “We wanted to do something, anything, to help bring geula (redemption) closer. The connection between the Temple Mount and the Jewish people is a strong connection, like between a husband and wife. Perhaps the mountain heard us.” Rabbi Berger explained that the spiritual effort was deeply moving, for the Sanhedrin and perhaps for the mountain as well, but it was not especially pleasant. In addition to sealing the gate, the Muslims have established a cemetery in front of the gate in an attempt to prevent the Messiah from entering. Of course, it may be that the broken flagstones are the result of less spiritual developments. “The level that we now walk on is several meters above what was ground level in Temple Times,” Yaakov Hayman, chairman of the United Temple Movements, told Breaking Israel News. “It is all landfill. No one knows what is underground.” Unfortunate political realities make it unlikely that any real knowledge of what lies underground will ever be known. This was epitomized by the wanton destruction caused when the Waqf built the El-Marwani Mosque in the so-called Solomon’s Stables located in the southeastern corner of the Temple Mount. In the early 1990’s. Chief Sephardi Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu began to advocate the construction of a synagogue on the Temple Mount in Solomon’s Stables. The large underground space, constructed by King Herod, was empty. It seemed like an ideal solution, allowing Jewish access that was separate from the Muslim entrances. But the rabbi’s call for a synagogue was followed by the Waqf converting the space into a mosque capable of hosting 10,000 worshippers. The construction was in gross violation of the status quo and all agreements with the Israeli government, using heavy equipment in a site that was archaeologically significant. The construction greatly weakened the southern wall of the Temple Mount, requiring massive and unsightly repairs. About 350 truckloads of earth was taken from the site and dumped in the Kidron Valley. In a June 2000 interview with the Jerusalem Post, the chief waqf archeologist said that his colleagues examined the material taken out of the site “either before or after the excavation” and “found nothing of special interest.” In 2004, Professor Gabriel Barkay began the Temple Mount Temple Sifting Project, laboriously searching through the dirt. Barkay has succeeded in recovering countless artifacts from the Jewish Temple including a partial reconstruction of a tile floor. “The Waqf still works with large machinery on the Temple Mount,” Barkay told Breaking Israel News. “There may be an empty space underneath but in any case, the soil is very soft and not suited for heavy equipment. We tried to get the government to prevent this but they did not answer our requests.” As the spokesman for the Temple Mount activist organization Yera’eh, Elishama Sandman, is privy to the details of what takes place on and around the Temple Mount. “The earth is certainly moving under the Temple Mount,” Sandman told Breaking Israel News. “It is impossible to say whether this is from geological changes or illegal construction. In the same way, it is impossible to rule out divine causes. The Waqf won’t let any scientists or archaeologists investigate. And certainly no rabbis. But it is clear that something is happening there.” Sandman described past attempts to deal with infrastructure on the Temple Mount in which complaints were bounced between the municipal government, the Israeli government, and the police. “While the officials argued about who should take care of it, the Waqf dug,” Sandman said.
https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/116242/snake-temple/ A Snake, The Temple, and Messiah By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz November 1, 2018 , 12:53 pm Let them lick dust like snakes, Like crawling things on the ground! Let them come trembling out of their strongholds To Hashem our God; Let them fear and dread You! Micah 7:17 (The Israel Bible™) A coin snake. (Credit: Flickr/Screenshot) A snake wriggling out from between the stones of the Western Wall in search of a meal brought with it a message straight from Jewish mystical teachings; connecting the archetypal enemy of man with the High Priest in the Temple, and also, perhaps, serving as a harbinger of the Messiah. Women who went to the Kotel (Western Wall) on Wednesday were shocked to see a snake crawling out from between the ancient stones. The Coin Snake, common to the region, is not venomous but it is similar in appearance to the deadly viper also found in Israel. The snake was probably seeking a meal of pigeons or eggs but it brought with it a powerful message. A Hebrew language blogger quoted by Ynet News noted the serpent made its Jerusalem appearance during a hotly contested mayoral election, connecting it to the destruction of the Second Temple. “The snake appeared during this time of dispute and divisiveness at the site of the Temple which was destroyed because of widespread hatred and divisiveness.” Another commentator saw a connection between the reptilian appearance and current events, referring to a recent head-on automobile accident near the Dead Sea that killed a family of eight and the horrific murder of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue. “How symbolic that this snake should appear at the place that is the heart of the Jewish people, where so many Jews were killed, at a time when Jews are still being killed. We have received a symbolic warning from these holy stones.” Pointing to the pigeon that fled the snake in the video, Sod1820, a Hebrew language kabbalah site, cited Midrash (homiletic teachings), Israel is compared to a pigeon or dove, noted for the faithfulness in having a single partner in its lifetime. Such is Israel, faithful to Hashem (God, literally, ‘the name) even in times of danger. “We are truly in the dangerous times that directly precede Mashiach (Messiah),” the article in Sod 1820 read. “Just as the pigeon is safe so long as it seeks shelter among the stones of the Temple Mount, the Jews are protected by the Torah commandments. When the pigeon comes out from the stones or the the Jews move away from the Torah, they are in danger.” The site also claimed the appearance of a snake coming out of the stones of the Temple Mount could be seen as an auspicious sign. In gematria (Hebrew numerology) nachash (snake) נחש equals 358, the same as Moshiach (Messiah) משיח. The Zohar (the basis of Jewish mysticism) explained that the evil inclination, personified by the snake in Eden, will make a resurgence in the days before Messiah, tempted to come and drink sustenance from the enormous levels of holiness that will appear in the world in the end-of-days. It was noted in Sod1820 that the snake appeared in the women’s prayer section, emphasizing its relevance to women. In Genesis, it is described how Eve was tempted into sin by the snake. Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild beasts that Hashem had made. He said to the woman, “Did Hashem really say: You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1 According to Jewish tradition, the curse of Eve, represented by menstrual blood and labor pains, will be canceled out in the Messianic era. Before the Messiah, God will kill the archetypal snake, removing the curse of Eve. Another connection between the lowly snake and holiness is implicit in the Hebrew words. The letters of the word nachash can be rearranged to spell choshen (breastplate), worn by the Kohen Gadol (high priest) in the Temple. The Zohar states that the tikkun (fixing) of the snake would be accomplished in the Third Temple by way of the breastplate. Embedded in the breastplate were 12 precious stones, each representing a tribe of Israel. When faced with a difficult situation, the kings of Israel could inquire and the stones of the breastplate would shine in sequence, providing them with a divine response to their question. This was a Tikkun for the snake which gave a deceitful response to Eve. It does indeed seem like the Temple Mount is trying to speak to the Jewish people. About four months ago, a large piece of one of the stones weighing several hundred pounds suddenly fell, barely missing one of the women who came to pray at dawn. Another sign appeared on Hoshana Rabba, the last day of Sukkot, when a large cloud of mist began billowing up from the ground inside the Temple Mount Compound, surrounding the Dome of the rock for several minutes.
Wow!! How interesting. This is a very spooky spot, 'The Valley of the Dead'. Kidron Valley. I walked along here one very hot afternoon, it was 4o degrees, no shade. I picked up all kind sof weird , weird vibes there. A place to keep looking over your shoulder at things that were there and yet not there. Spooksville. I was totally alone although it was the height of the tourist season. Not a soul, just wandering about. As though the world had just stopped. In Ancient Jewish Legend it is one of the Gateways to hell on Earth. …3He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.…
So many very,very holy places all round the world that seem secret and hidden even though millions upon millions of tourists and pilgrims past by sometimes within yards of them.
Don't buy into fear, as this does not come from God, but the evil one. Do as St Padre Pio said and "pray, hope and don't worry". The rosary has 15 promises that come from saying it daily www.themostholyrosary.com/15promises.htm
With all the talk recently of building the Third Temple, perhaps God is giving a warning to those who would try to do so. These strange phenomena remind me of the disturbances that occurred on the Temple Mount when Julian the Apostate’s attempted to rebuild the Temple: “For Julian, persecution, oppression, and financial extortion of Christians weren’t enough. In the second year of his reign, in 362, he conceived an extraordinary plan to undermine the credibility of Jesus Christ by annulling one of his prophecies. In Matthew 24, while the disciples were pointing out the temple buildings, Christ told them, “You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” As students of history will remember, this was fulfilled with the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, during the First Jewish-Roman War. For Julian, the solution was simple: all he had to do was rebuild the temple. A special imperial official was appointed to oversee the task. And Julian was able to take advantage of the pious enthusiasm of Jews from across the empire, some of whom contributed money to the effort, others volunteering as laborers, according to accounts from early Church writers. Special tools of silver were forged for the occasion. Ground was broken. The small army of workers poured right into the work, toiling right up until nightfall. Signs of trouble immediately appeared: after the first day, the workers awoke to find the soil they had removed had shifted back into place. Undaunted, they resumed work when “of a sudden a violent gale blew, and storms, tempests and whirlwinds scattered everything far and wide,” according to the account of the ecclesiastical historian Theodoret. Then calamity struck: an earthquake rocked the site, followed by fireballs that burst out of the unfinished foundations for the temple, burning some men, and sending the rest in flight. Some rushed into the church that had been built by Constantine’s mother, St. Helena, only to have its doors shut in front of them by “an unseen and invisible power,” according to one account. Some accounts of the disaster read like a retelling of the plagues visited upon Egypt: the fountains by the old temple stopped working, a famine broke out, and two imperial officials who had desecrated some sacred vessels met with grisly deaths. One was eaten alive with worms. The other “burst asunder in the midst.” All this culminated with the appearance of the cross—either in the sky or sprinkled like stars on the garments of the workers, according to early Church accounts. Needless to say, the temple was never rebuilt. This much is certain. But how credible are the accounts of the miraculous events that halted the construction? The above synopsis is taken from five Church writers, all of whom lived during the events they described or immediately afterwards when eyewitness testimony would still have been available. Though they vary in some details, all five agree on three essentials of the narrative—the earthquake, the fire from somewhere below the temple, and some miraculous appearance of a cross symbol. Three are ecclesiastical historians—Theodoret, Sozomen, and Socrates Scholasticus. Maybe you haven’t heard of those historians and aren’t too inclined to trust them, but how about saints like John Chrysostom and Gregory of Nazianzus, who also wrote about the foiled rebuilding of the temple? (Read their accounts here and here.) All five writers present the calamitous rebuilding as historical fact. Some go at length to demonstrate that they personally have done their due diligence in assessing the veracity of the story. Gregory of Nazianzus notes that there might be some factual disparities in accounts, but he then adds: “But what all people nowadays report and believe is that when they were forcing their way and struggling about the entrance a flame issued forth from the sacred place and stopped them.” Likewise, Sozomen writes the following regarding the fire: “This fact is fearlessly stated, and believed by all; the only discrepancy in the narrative is that some maintain that flame burst from the interior of the temple, as the workmen were striving to force an entrance, while others say that the fire proceeded directly from the earth. In whichever way the phenomenon might have occurred, it is equally wonderful.” Such are not the words one would expect from writers who are embellishers of pious legends. What makes the story so compelling is that it is also reported in a matter-of-fact fashion by the Roman pagan historian Ammianus Marcellinus, who confirms the core narrative about a strange fire breaking out in his work, Res Gestae (“things done”): [T]errifying balls of flame kept bursting forth near the foundations of the temple, and made the place inaccessible to the workmen, some of whom were burned to death; and since in this way the element persistently repelled them, the enterprise halted. Marcellinus, of course, does not call this a miracle, and the significance of the event in the history of Judaism and Christianity seems lost on him. But his account—presented without any qualification about the credibility of the story—stands as an extraordinary corroboration of the five accounts by Christian authors. And yet, the event doesn’t seem to have gotten much attention from contemporary historians, who don’t seem to share Marcellinus’ commitment to even-handed reporting...” https://catholicexchange.com/greatest-historical-miracle-youve-never-heard

Remember this? https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/...sks-putin-trump-build-third-temple-jerusalem/ BIN EXCLUSIVE: Sanhedrin Asks Putin and Trump to Build Third Temple in Jerusalem By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz November 10, 2016 , 11:30 am “Thus saith Hashem to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may not be shut.” Isaiah 45:1 (The Israel Bible™) The Sanhedrin has requested that president-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin work together to help rebuild the Temple. (Breaking Israel News) The Nascent Sanhedrin is calling on Russian President Vladmir Putin and US president-elect Donald Trump to join forces and fulfill their Biblically-mandated roles by rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, contacted Breaking Israel News to announce that the election of Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, coupled with Putin’s expressed desire for the Temple to be rebuilt, prompted the Jewish court to send a letter offering the two the opportunity to act as modern-day Cyrus figures: non-Jewish kings who recognize the importance of Israel and the Temple. Cyrus the Great, King of Persia in the sixth century BCE, announced in the first year of his reign that he was prompted by God to make a decree that the Temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. Thus saith Koresh king of Paras: All the kingdoms of the earth hath Hashem, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Yerushalayim, which is in Yehuda. Ezra 1:2 Cyrus sent the Jews under his rule back to Israel with a considerable sum of money with which to rebuild the Temple. The Sanhedrin plans to call on the two world leaders to take up this ancient Biblical decree and support the Jewish people in their holy mission. Rabbi Weiss explained that the US elections have made the eternal Jewish dream a very real possibility. “We are poised to rebuild the Temple. The political conditions today, in which the two most important national leaders in the world support the Jewish right to Jerusalem as their spiritual inheritance, is historically unprecedented,” Rabbi Weiss told Breaking Israel News. The Sanhedrin’s letter notes that Trump’s upset victory was due to his support of Jerusalem, and reminds Trump of his campaign promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, effectively recognizing the city as the capital of Israel. The Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed in Congress in 1995, initiated the moving of the embassy, but has been vetoed since every American president since. The Sanhedrin calls on Trump to withhold the veto after he takes office. The Sanhedrin also recalled Putin’s connection to the Temple in its letter. During his third official trip to Jerusalem in 2012, Putin paid a late-night visit to the Kotel (Western Wall). When he arrived at the holy site, the Russian leader stood in silence for several minutes, offering up a personal prayer, after which he read Psalms from a Russian-Hebrew prayer book. An Israeli bystander called out in Russian, “Welcome, President Putin.” Putin approached the man, who explained the importance of the Temple Mount and the Jewish Temple. Chadrei Charedim, an Orthodox Hebrew news site, reported that Putin responded, “That’s exactly the reason I came here – to pray for the Temple to be built again.” Putin at the Western Wall After this remarkable exchange, the Sanhedrin sent a letter to Putin calling on him to fulfill his prayer. At the time, President Putin did not respond to the Sanhedrin’s request, but now that the incoming US president is a potential ally in the project, the Sanhedrin believes it is time for Putin to take an active role in rebuilding the Temple. In addition to its requests concerning the Temple, the Sanhedrin is also calling on Putin and Trump to renew the 1920 League of Nations resolution known as the San Remo treaty, which essentially enabled the creation of a Jewish State by dividing the Ottoman Empire. It incorporated the Balfour Declaration, issued by Great Britain in 1917, which gave official recognition and backing for the establishment of Israel. US President Calvin Coolidge ratified the San Remo agreement in 1925, thus making recognition of a Jewish State legally binding by US law. The Sanhedrin emphasized that it is imperative at this time, when the Palestinian Authority is attempting to rewrite world history by campaigning against the Balfour declaration, to strengthen the historic American commitment to the State of Israel by readopting the agreement. Rabbi Weiss emphasized that supporting the Jewish claim to Jerusalem would bring benefit Russia and America, as well as the entire world. “The leaders of Russia and America can lead the nations of the world to global peace through building the Temple, the source of peace,” Rabbi Weiss explained. “This will offset the disgraceful UNESCO resolutions that are the root cause of increasing terror and violence.” Last month, the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) passed two resolutions denying any connection between the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish people, ceding to Islam a religious monopoly on many of Judaism’s holiest sites.
And, again, that controversy of just where the Temple actually was located: The Wailing Wall Is Not Part Of Temple Mount This Olivet Discourse Deception study shows that the temple was totally destroyed, with not one stone standing on another, just as Messiah proclaimed. We see a lot of news about the Jews praying at the Wailing Wall, and the Jews needing to remove the Dome of the Rock shrine on the Temple Mount, so that they can rebuild their temple. But that is a deception. The Wailing Wall is not part of the foundation wall for the old Temple, it is the wall of the old Roman Antonia Fortress; which the Roman army left as a monument to their power, as it is all that remained after they desolated the rest of the city in 70 A.D. ... a drawing which shows where the old Temple was, where Antonia Fortress was, where the Wailing Wall is, and where the Dome of the Rock Shine sits. (You can click on the image, to see it with better resolution) The Temple was on the South side of Antonia Fortress, near the spring which helped the priests wash away the mess from the sacrifices. The Temple was indeed destroyed, with not one stone left standing on another, just as our Messiah said. Here is what it looks like today. The street on the left is where the temple used to be. Don’t be deceived, Messiah’s words are true and the devil is a liar! http://theolivetdiscourse.com/the-wailing-wall-is-not-part-of-temple-mount/
http://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=news&div=14645 Patriarch Kirill speaks out against Western-style globalization Moscow, November 1, Interfax - Following the Western model of globalization would be a mistake because it has no room for traditional values, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said. "The narrow paradigm of the New Time speaks of globalization as an inevitable process. Hidden underneath the word 'inevitability' is the western principle of global development which features liberal secularism and modern forms of colonialism," Patriarch Kirill said at the opening of the World Russian's People's Council at the Kremlin on Thursday. So the crisis of the modern world is one of the New Time values: "in politics, in economy, in the social sphere, culture - we find ourselves being held hostage to the past preventing us from calling things by their proper name and giving an adequate response to existing threats." The Church is not claiming to be offering the only right solution but it can remind what the main error of the New Time is, he said. "This mistake is a departure from tradition, the system of passing values from generation to generation which forms the civilizational code of peoples with its cultural, spiritual and religious paradigms, relying on God-given and thus invariable moral values which have accompanied the humankind throughout history. Experience shows that the trampling of these values has led to tragedies and cataclysms in personal, societal and international relations," Patriarch Kirill said. Rather than creating a unified philosophical-ideological foundation for the whole world with its ideological diversity, the globalization process should be confined to markets and capitals, movement of people, free border-crossing, a unified global system, fair economic relations, overcoming poverty, and a common strategy to protect the environment, the patriarch said. "That will be a pragmatic globalization, one that does not encroach on human souls but strives to establish efficient and, if possible, fair world order," Patriarch Kirill said.
