Star Wars: Israel Produces "Laser Beam" Defense Tech

Story Source Virtual Jerusalem

The Associated Press reported Saturday that Israel has officially unveiled another cutting-edge defense system: a laser-based weapon against short-range missiles.

Dubbed the "Iron Beam," the system users fast-acting laser technology to shoot down incoming rockets at close range. 

"It's exactly like what you see in 'Star Wars,' " said Amit Zimmer, a spokesman for the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems company producing the beam, told the Associated Press. "You see the lasers go up so quickly, like a flash, and the target is finished."

The Iron Beam is designed to take down short-range missiles too fast to be targeted by Israel's wildly successful Iron Dome system, according to the Washington Times.

The technology was designed by 15 engineers over a five-year period, according to Zimmer, and is being pushed to the forefront of the next Singapore Air Show once the project is completed. 

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is the same company working with the US to develop the David's Sling and Arrow 3 defense systems. 

Arrow 3 is designed to intercept ballistic missiles that have a longer range and higher altitude than those covered by Arrow 2. The system is another vital component of the multi-layered defense system designed to protect the State of Israel, which includes the Arrow systems, the Iron Dome, and David's Sling. Arrow 3 covers the longest range of the missiles. 

David's Sling, which Israeli television said is designed to intercept missiles fired from a distance of 50 to 250 kilometres (30 to 155 miles), is due to cover the gap between Israel's current short-range and long-range defense systems, the Iron Dome and Arrow 2; it will be operational sometime over the next year, according to the most recent reports. 

Zimmer could not confirm the exact range of Iron Beam, according to the Times. However, a military official revealed to Reuters in January that the system would be capable of super-heating warheads with a range of up to seven kilometers. 

Entire Streets Erased in Damascus, Syria (Isaiah 17:1-2)

Article Source Jerusalem Online

New documentation from the Syrian rebels’ show the streets of Damascus completely erased. The roads and buildings were transformed into pits and stones. In Aleppo, the rebels launched an attack on Assad’s army forces in order to repel their advance.

The rebels have provided sad documentation of entire streets that were erased in recent attacks in the Syrian capital city of Damascus.  Instead of roads and buildings, one can only see pits, mounds of earth, and stones.

In recent days, many residents have fled the bombed out areas that they can no longer live in.  At the same time, Assad’s forces continue to use their favorite weapon, explosive barrels, which they drop indiscriminately on rebel strongholds throughout the country.

In Aleppo, the rebels attacked Assad’s forces in order to try to repel their progress into the neighborhoods that they control.

Isaiah 17:1-2

Amplified Bible (AMP)

17 The mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Damascus [capital of Syria, and Israel’s bulwark against Assyria]. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.

2 The cities of Aroer [east of the Jordan] are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Israel Hit With Several Earthquakes: Earthquakes in Divers Places

Story Source Israelandstuff.com 

A 3.3 magnitude earthquake struck in Israel’s North on Tuesday morning, the fifth tremor to hit the area in the last week. 

No injuries or damage were reported in the earthquake.

The Geophysical Institute of Israel said that the quake’s epicenter was some five kilometers northeast of Kibbutz Ginosar near Lake Kinneret.

In light of the recent rash of earthquakes to hit the North, the IDF on Monday sent out a statement, calling on citizens to refresh their knowledge of earthquake procedure.

According to the Home Front Command instructions, citizens should attempt to abandon any structure in favor of an open outdoor area in the event of an earthquake, particularly if they are in a one-story building, or on the ground floor of a multi-floor building.

If exiting the structure is not possible, the Home Front Command instructs citizens to enter the building’s bomb shelter with the door remaining open.

If the building does not have a bomb shelter, it is safest to enter the building’s stairwell, advancing toward the building’s exit as much as is possible.

Those who are found at the beach during an earthquake are instructed to leave immediately to avoid a possible tsunami. Citizens are instructed to stay at least one kilometer from the beach, or if that is not possible, to rise to at least the fourth floor of a nearby building.

It is advised to stay away from the beach for approximately 12 hours after an earthquake.

Professor Amotz Agnon, a Geology and Geophysics expert working at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, believes a major earthquake in the near future could kill thousands.

Speaking in an interview with Army Radio, Agnon said that a strong earthquake in Israel could “lead to thousands of deaths. From experience, we know that everything depends on the time of day an earthquake occurs. The cities of Safed, Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona, Beit She’an and Eilat, unfortunately, are all built above the Syrian-African fault-line.”

Adding to the problem is the fact that these towns and cities do not seem to have the financial means necessary to address concerning building issues.

The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Subcommittee for Home Front Preparedness will hold a meeting next Monday, following the wave of earthquakes.

Subcommittee chairman Eli Yishai said the earthquakes “require a thorough examination the country and the home front’s readiness for any scenario that could occur as a result of earthquakes. We cannot ignore this phenomenon.”

Yishai added that the subcommittee will point out shortcomings in the way the government deals with the issue and demand they be fixed.

Israel Moves Towards Cashless Society

Article Source taxationinfonews.com

JERUSALEM – Reducing the use of cash for everyday transactions will directly help Israel to fight tax evasion, and to eliminate money laundering.

On September 17th the Cabinet of Israel launched a new committee charged with the task of finding new means and measures of encouraging taxpayers to use of electronic payment methods instead of cash, as, it is believed, that the shift will help reduce the occurrence of tax evasion and unreported incomes.

Explaining the benefit of a “cashless” society, the appointed head of the committee Harel Locker said that a significant number of everyday transactions currently remain unreported and untaxed, however, expanding the uptake of electronic payment methods will increase tax authorities’ abilities to investigate tax evasion and to uncover activity on the underground economy.

The committee will initially look into the feasibility of introducing “fee-less electronic charge cards” to be used for everyday purchases and transactions, to be provided freely to anyone who currently receives welfare or to anyone who does not have a bank account.

Research will also be conducted into methods to restrict the use of checks, and to limit high-value cash transactions, while establishing new protocols for the sharing of information between the Tax Authority and the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering.

The committee is scheduled to issue its first report to the prime Minister within 90 days.

Rumors of War:Hezbollah and Hamas rocket threat outpacing Israel's defensive capabilities, expert says

Article Source: Haaretz.com

Brig. Gen. (res.) Meir Elran of Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies says that as many as 1,500 short- to mid-range rockets could be launched each day in a war that would last for a month.

The Israeli response to the rocket threat still lags behind progress being made byHezbollah, Hamas and other groups, according to a report published this week by Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies.

Brig. Gen. (res.) Meir Elran, head of the institute’s Homeland Security Program, told Haaretz that Israel hasn’t closed the gaps.

According to Elran, in a war that could last a month, as many as 1,500 short- to mid-range rockets might be launched at the north alone each day. And Israel would have to prepare for a war on two fronts – Lebanon and Gaza.

Elran says Israel has greatly improved preparedness in recent years both at Home Front Command and with its five Iron Dome anti-rocket batteries. But he says budgetary problems have slowed the acquisition process.

“Israel has still not made a system-wide decision to increase its investment in defensive measures, even at the expense of offensive capabilities. It still seeks to depend on American money. Israel will purchase a maximum of 10 batteries, when it needs double that number,” Elran said.

“If the IDF had invested even 5 percent of the resources in defense that it invested in offense, we would be in a different place today,” he added.

“It’s no secret that if war breaks out, the IDF will want to deploy the batteries near air force bases so planes can take off and land under rocket fire, and near national infrastructure. In the current state of affairs, we don’t have enough missile batteries to protect population centers.”

According to Elran, another weak point is the rate of Israel’s acquisition of protective kits against chemical attacks. “If the state thinks the threat is tangible, it should complete the protection of the whole population,” Elran said, referring to reports that only 60 percent of Israelis have kits. “If it doesn’t, that’s a sign it doesn’t believe that the threat is real.”

Elran added that the fact the government has not yet decided on a division of responsibilities on the home front shows “mistaken thinking by the Israeli leadership about the threat to the civilian population.”

On Wednesday, the Institute is holding its annual conference on the home front’s preparedness.

Home Front Minister Gilad Erdan, who will address the conference, has been fighting to expand his office’s responsibilities but has met opposition from Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to decide on the issue, a decision that may be postponed.

Rumors of War: Saudis Aiming Missiles at Israel and Iran

Article Source Israelnationalnews.com

Chinese Ballistic Missiles  

Saudi Arabia is targeting both Israel and Iran with powerful ballistic missiles, new satellite photography shown by military experts to the BritishTelegraph suggests.

Images analyzed by experts at IHS Jane's Intelligence Review has revealed a previously undisclosed surface-to-surface missile base deep in the Saudi desert, with capabilities for hitting both countries, theTelegraph reported on Wednesday.

Analysts who examined the photos spotted two launch pads with markings pointing northwest towards Tel Aviv and northeast towards Tehran, according to the report.

The pads are designed for Saudi Arabia's arsenal of lorry-launched DF 3 missiles, which have a range of 1,500-2,500 miles and can carry a two-ton payload.

The base, believed to have been built within the last five years, gives an insight into Saudi strategic thinking at a time of heightened tensions in the Gulf.

While Saudi Arabia does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, it has long maintained discreet back channel communications as part of attempts to promote stability in the region.

The two countries also have a mutual enemy in Iran, though, which has long seen Saudi Arabia as a rival power in the Gulf. Experts fear that if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, Saudi Arabia would seek to follow suit.

Analysts at IHS Jane's told the Telegraph that the kingdom is currently in the process of upgrading its missiles, although even the DF3, which dates back to the 1980s, is itself potentially big enough to carry a nuclear device.

The missile base, which is at al-Watah, around 125 miles southwest of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, was discovered during a project by IHS Jane's to update their assessment of Saudi Arabia's military capabilities.

It serves as both a training and launch facility, with the missiles stored in an underground silo built into a rocky hillside, according to the Telegraph. To the north of the facility are two circle-shaped launch pads, both with compass-style markings showing the precise direction that the launchers should fire in.

The Chinese-made missiles, which date back to the 1980s, are not remotely-guided and therefore have to be positioned in the direction of their target before firing.

"One appears to be aligned on a bearing of approximately 301 degrees and suggesting a potential Israeli target, and the other is oriented along an azimuth (bearing) of approximately 10 degrees, ostensibly situated to target Iranian locations," said the IHS Jane's article quoted by the Telegraph.

While the lorry-launched missiles can theoretically be fired from any location, the idea of having pre-planned directional markers is to ensure that they can be deployed in accurate fashion as quickly as possible, said Allison Puccioni, an image expert at IHS Jane's.

"There is a marked out spot for the launch truck to park in, which will facilitate an expedited launch," she told the Telegraph.

Robert Munks, deputy editor of IHS Jane's Intelligence Review, told the newspaper, “Our assessment suggests that this base is either partly or fully operational, with the launch pads pointing in the directions of Israel and Iran respectively. We cannot be certain that the missiles are pointed specifically at Tel Aviv and Tehran themselves, but if they were to be launched, you would expect them to be targeting major cities.

"We do not want to make too many inferences about the Saudi strategy, but clearly Saudi Arabia does not enjoy good relations with either Iran or Israel," he added.

Officials at the Saudi Embassy in London did not get back with a response when contacted by The Telegraph. The Israeli Embassy in London said. "We have no comment on this matter."

Israel Rolls Out Voluntary Biometric Database(Is it a Pathway to the Mark of the Beast?)

Article Source Israelnationalnews.com

Beginning Monday, the new biometric database system goes into effect in test areas, with the first set to be Rishon Lezion. The system is planned to eventually replace identity cards, and will be mandatory, but for now, the system is voluntary. Residents of Rishon Lezion can register with the biometric database, with the information used to grant them access to government offices and other facilities where presenting an ID card is usually necessary.

Many Israelis are uncomfortable with the idea of the government's getting hold of such personal information – one of them being former minister Michael Eitan, who suggests that people simply ignore the system and refuse to register. “This is a struggle for the image of the state of Israel,” he said. “Will we be a free people that ensures privacy for its citizens, like other advanced countries, or will we become the leading 'police state,' keeping a constant watch on citizens,” Eitan said.

The system is voluntary, at least for now, Eitan said, “and as such I see absolutely no reason to participate in it and become the government's 'guinea pigs' in a project that will not do anything positive for Israel – not for the country, its citizens, or its security.”

The Knesset passed the Biometric Database Law in 2009, after long, drawn-out Knesset debates and numerous meetings of committees and sub-committees. The law authorizes the implementation and distribution of “smart cards” that will include biometric information on Israelis, replacing the current ID cards.

The law authorizes a two year long test period, with the project to be rolled out gradually in many locations around the country. According to a spokesperson for the Population Registry, the system supplies many benefits, such as preventing identity theft, and enabling access to many online services.

Israeli Minister: Time to Rebuild Jerusalem 3rd Temple

Source Article Israeltoday.co.il

Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel 

An Israeli cabinet minister last week publicly stated that perhaps the time has come to rebuild the biblical Temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

Most Israelis has no aspirations of rebuilding the Temple. Even among those who would like to see the Temple restored, most do not believe Israel can undertake something so controversial absent a direct act of God.

But that didn't stop Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) from stating that "we need to build a real Temple on the Temple Mount."

Ariel was speaking at a press event in the Samarian community of Shilo, where archaeologists have uncovered remains of the biblical Tabernacle that was located there for hundreds of years before King David's conquest of Jerusalem.

California 5th Grader Wild Claim Being Illuminati Member and Sacrifice Classmates to Devil

Story Source: ABC News 10 Sacramento 

SACRAMENTO, CA - An unusual outburst in a combined 5th and 6th grade classroom at John Sloat Elementary School has some students and parents concerned.

6th grader Zionni Ibarra was in the class when it happened.

"I was scared," Ibarra said. "And I was crying really bad."

Students said a 5th grade girl started shouting she was part of the Illuminati and threatened to kill other students.

"She said she wanted to sell her soul to the devil," Ibarra said. "And she said she'll kill everybody."

"Everybody just started crying because they were scared that they were going to die that day," 6th grader Elizabeth Martinez added. Martinez was also in the class and witnessed everything.    

At one point, students said she grabbed a pair of scissors.

"I seen her try to cut herself and draw blood," 5th grader Xavier Monti explained what happened in the class. "But then she got up and tried to stab another girl a seat away from her."

Students said she drew Illuminati symbols and wrote 666 in the bathroom. Students said her outburst went on for at least an hour, with the teacher only telling them to ignore the girl.

"He thought she was just trying to get attention," Monti said.

Parent Antonio Farinias contacted News10 because he thinks the school should have notified him immediately.

Parents received a phone call after school Thursday, letting them know something had happened at the school.

"To not be notified all day until 6:30 at night last that was real upsetting," Farinias explained. "Because when I picked up my kids from school they were in tears."

"You never know what to tell your kids when they come home telling you 'hey this happened, that happened,' and there's different rumors, and you're like 'which one do I believe? What really happened?'" parent Rebecca Fox said. "[The school district] can't tell you what really happened, you have all these questions and worry and wonder with your kids."

The Sacramento City Unified School District confirmed an incident happened at the school shortly before lunch Thursday, although district officials would not go into more detail.

"Authorities are investigating a disturbance inside a John Sloat Elementary School classroom [Thursday]", said Gabe Ross, SCUSD Chief Communications Officer, in a statement emailed to News10. "The school responded immediately and all students were safe. The incident did not involve weapons and no one was physically harmed. Counseling and other resources have been made available to all John Sloat students today and will continue to be available as needed."

The school also sent a letter home with kids Friday afternoon reiterating a similar message.

"There was a weapon involved. It was a pair of scissors," Farinias said. "So it shocks me to see there are false statements in here knowing otherwise what happened at school yesterday."

Some parents who spoke to News10 think the school could have done more to protect the kids in class and should have taken the girl out of class much sooner.

"They should have stopped it right away," parent Aime Martinez said. "And not let her scare them more."

"With all the stuff going on in school, what does it take for a child to show you something is wrong and for her to follow through with what she says she is going to do? Farinias asked.

Other parents said they think the school acted in the kids' best interests.

"[Taking care of the issue] was more important than us being notified," parent Mary Walters said. "Yeah, we got notified late, and I'm gonna go with that, but our children were safe, and they made sure our children were safe, and that's what was important."

It's not known what caused the sudden outburst in class.

Earthquake in Divers Places: Honshu Island Japan Earhquake

By Aljazeera(Source)

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake has struck off the south coast of Japan's main Honshu island, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has said, but no tsunami warning was issued.

The quake hit at 12:22pm local time (03:22 GMT) on Sunday, 644km south of Tokyo, at a depth of 424km, the USGS said.

Japan's Meteorological Agency said there was no risk of a tsunami.

Tokyo and its suburban Kanto region were rocked by minor tremors, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, the agency said.

"We have received no reports of damage to properties nor reports of injuries so far," a spokesman for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said.

The area is prone to earthquakes.

Spiritual Rats Have Flooded the Church

Spiritual Demonic Rats Devouring Souls of Men with Deception

Back in early 2008 I had a dream of a horde of rats the size of bulls running down the center of isle of the church headed to the pulpit. What the Holy Spirit was showing me that those horde rats represented demon spirits that were assigned to energize men and women who preach and teach on platforms, to infect people with false doctrine(Doctrine of Devils), to eventually cause mass deception, and those infected by these spiritual rats would suffer the consequences of eternal damnation if they didn't turn to the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Is Economics(Love of Money) Fueling Gay Marriage?

Can you say dollar signs $$$!

I initially wrote this story with GCMWatch back in March 11, 2010, called "For the Love of Money and Same-Sex Marriage," currently the United States Supreme Court is hearing cases on the ban on Same-Sex Marriage in California along with the defense of marriage act(DOMA). If the ban on Gay Marriage(Prop. 8) be lifted so that Same-Sex Marriage would be legal in the state of California, and defense of marriage act is repealed then it is a possibility Same-Sex Marriage would become legalize in the entire United States. Is economics one the factors for the push to legalize Same-Sex Marriage? Let us examine this question.

Although the people of California voted yes on Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriages, the battle still rages on in the homosexual community to make it legal.  But the battle involves more than just gays and lesbians fighting for and gaining the right to marry both in California and elsewhere. Believe it or not, economics is now playing strong role in the same-sex marriage.  How, you ask?  Through the wedding industry!  If same-sex marriages were legalized everywhere the wedding industry would experience an economic increase through the onslaught of new homosexual clients.  Let me explain…

Forbes Magazine’s online article on June 16th, 2009, estimated that the financial impact gay weddings would have if legalized nationally, would add up to a whooping $9.5 billion if you added engagement rings, banquet halls, wedding dresses, and honeymoons. This would most definitely have a financial impact in our country.  But is it really worth the cost of selling our morality for the almighty dollar?

In the June 15th, 2008 online article, “California Boosted by Gay Marriage Bonanza,” the University of California at Los Angeles did a study stating that the same-sex marriage industry would create 2,100 new jobs.  In addition, the spending of same-sex residences would boost the economy by $683.6 million dollars.  Analysts also feel that California would have a monopoly on the same-sex marriage industry and would cause a boom in tourism business.

When gay activists believed that Proposition 8 would be defeated cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Palm Springs were ready to market themselves as gay-friendly wedding destinations.  Jack Kyser, the Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, said that same-sex marriages would lift local tourist sectors as fears of recession gripped the tourist industry.

First Timothy 6:10 says, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through many sorrows.” Many lobbyist and politicians are influenced by money these homosexual groups pump into their pockets.  In return these wayward politicians come up with gay-friendly laws and get bills passed through the state and federal governments. It’s all about the Benjamin’s!  The love of money has made these judges, lobbyist, politicians; businesses sell out their morals to the “dolla’ dolla’” bill. The fact is this: behind the wicked collaboration of homosexuals, attorneys, lobbyist, judges, and politicians there is the love of the money same-sex marriages can introduce into the national economy.

Today, Hollywood does an excellent job promoting homosexual lifestyle through movies and television. Let’s remember that Sodom and Gomorrah were prosperous cities in their time.  But despite their prosperity, God still judged them for their unrighteousness.  In the days of the Prophet Jeremiah, Judah was prosperous nation but backslidden from God.  Jeremiah tried to tell the nation to repent and return back to God. However his words fell on deaf ears.  Judah trusted more in their riches and they were eventually judged and taken into Babylonian captivity. 

Updated Estimated Projected  Economic Numbers 2013 for Same-Sex Marriage

In New York City, it has been reported that the city has obtained $259 million boost from Same-Sex Marriage weddings since it was legalized last year (source)

.

With state of Washington it reported that Same-Sex Marriage will boost the economy of Washington by $88 million in the next three years(source).

The state of Maryland since legalizing Same-Sex Marriage is looking at an estimated $62.6 millions boosted by homosexuals couples spending money on weddings(source).

In a new economic study of the state of Hawaii, they found that if same-marriage was legalized in the state it boost the economy between $46 million to $258 million between 2014-2016, because of increase of same-sex couples visiting the island to marry, wedding ceremonies, and by out of state same-sex couples coming to Hawaii to honeymoon/tourism (source).

Demonic Son Decapitated His Mother Head

Source New York Daily News

Smirking schizophrenic Bashid McLean, holding his decapitated mother’s head like a trophy, posed for this stomach-turning photo. The accused monster appears almost gleeful after the grisly death and dismemberment of Tanya Byrd, 52, whose body parts were stuffed into garbage bags and dumped in four South Bronx locations.

The alleged killer used a two-foot Black and Decker jigsaw to carve up the corpse. The photo of the gruesome aftermath was discovered by police on McLean’s cell phone.

The baby-faced McLean, 23, was arrested Tuesday after a dog-walker spied his mother’s leg protruding from a pile of garbage near the apartment where she was butchered.

Sources said he later confessed to the horrifying homicide.
McLean remains jailed after a Thursday court appearance. Family members said the deranged suspect had a history of violence.

Deranged suspect Bashid McLean, 23, implicated himself in the gruesome death after investigators recovered a saw inside the apartment where he lived with victim Tanya Byrd and his 7-year-old brother, Nasyr.
Cops also found a shopping cart used to lug 52-year-old Byrd’s severed body parts from their home to four locations within walking distance of the murder scene, police sources said.

Byrd was terrified by McLean, who was on probation after coming at two cops with a knife in 2010, and suspected that he was battering little Nasyr. The younger brother has Down syndrome, according to one neighbor.

“I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bashid killed her,” said a 43-year-old woman who lives in the building on Westchester Ave. in Melrose. “She was afraid of that boy. . .He was a hellion.”

When bruises began appearing on the special-needs child, Byrd suspected her older son, the neighbor said.

Bashid had a problem controlling his rage,” said the neighbor. “He had creepy eyes. Didn't like to look you in the eye — but when he did, they went right through you.”

Although McLean called police to report his mom was missing, he quickly emerged as a suspect in the gruesome killing, police sources said. Cops were questioning him at the 40th Precinct station house late Tuesday.

McLean’s sister, Porsche Lovett, who visited him at the station house, said he showed no remorse. “He looked me in the eyes and told me he did nothing wrong when he killed her,” she said. “I don’t know who he is.”Byrd’s body parts were stuffed in garbage bags and scattered throughout her neighborhood, with a dog walker spying her right leg protruding from a pile of garbage around 5 a.m., police said.

Three heavy-duty plastic garbage bags stuffed with body parts were found nearby.

The victim’s head, hands, torso, legs and shoulder were pulled from the trash bags, the sources said.

The brutal killing left McLean’s family members reeling — despite Bashid’s history of aggression and mental health problems.

“He did destructive things,” said his father, James McLean. “He set fires; nobody could control him. ”

The dead woman’s sister said Bashid nursed a grudge against Byrd over his placement in foster care while his mom battled a drug problem. They reunited when he turned 18.

“I want people to know my sister was a good mother,” said Cassandra McLean. “She always took care of him.”

Commentary

Four scriptures that stand out to me on this horrific murder that this young man committed against his own mother. Let's take a look at these scriptures below.

2 Timothy 3:1-3

King James Version (KJV)

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.

Were definitively living in the last days, and were in perilous times. Bashid McLean was chronically disobedient to his parents, and he had no natural affection to his mother by chopping her body up and decapitating her head (natural affection denotes no family affection or love).  What  son would do this to his own mother? Except if the son was demonically driven to cause such a murderous act.

Bashid own father said nobody could control Bashid, and that he was destructive. This reminds of the man with spirit of "Legions" in St. Mark 5:4(read below), how nobody could tame him because he was filled with so many demons, plus he was self destructive. This young man actions confirms he is just not mentally ill, but seriously demon possessed.

Please remember the family in prayer with loss of Tanya Byrd, this woman didn't deserve to die like this, and also remember to pray for her special needs son Nasyr who is now motherless.

Mark 5:4

King James Version (KJV)

⁴ Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
