January 22, 2009 | One of the Best Each Friday we provide you with one of the week's most thought-provoking articles. | Elon: Real Danger to Jerusalem By Hillel Fendel, Israelnationalnews.com Leading PA and Norwegian diplomats met for a high-level meeting in Jerusalem on Monday, prompting concern on the part of some Israelis regarding the future of the Israeli capital. The meeting was held in an eastern Jerusalem hospital on Mt. of Olives, with the participation of Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Rafik Husseini of chairman Abbas’ office, PA Jerusalem minister Ahmed A-Rawidi, and others. Nine years ago, in August 2001, then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the closure of the PA eastern Jerusalem headquarters in Orient House.

Our two countries share a core set of national values including dedication to democracy, life, individual freedoms, religious faith & respect, the spirit of entrepreneurship and a vision of a peaceful future. As our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel lives every day under the threat of terror yet shares with the United States an unbroken commitment to peace in the Middle East.

But that position will be sorely tested in the days ahead. Especially, this is so if the Obama administration continues its incessant pressure for Israel to give up more land for peace and to divide Jerusalem. Soon we will find out who really stands with Israel. The Bible is clear – there will be a remnant of Jews and Christians who believe in the everlasting promises of God to the Jewish people. Be assured, the God of Israel will have the last word. | Reggie White...Student of Torah In this 2004 ESPN story about Reggie White, the famed NFL football star/preacher, it is revealed what happened in his final years where he turned from preaching traditional Christianity to become a student of Torah and seeker for truth by learning the original language of the scripture....Hebrew.
