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

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.

American Idols, Celebrity Worship= Sin of Idolatry

In the month of January 2013 we did a two part radio broadcast called American Idols, Celebrity Worship = Sin of Idolatry(here and here). We covered that in this present age celebrity worship has now become a new religion for people, and the celebrities they worship are in reality their god or goddess.  In American society people may not worship the idol gods of stone, wood, bronze, silver, and gold.  However, they do worship actors/actresses, singers, musicians, news anchors, athletes, models, and politicians. These individuals develop faithful followers that follow their every word and move.  However, the Bible warns us about the sin of idolatry.  One may ask what is the sin of idolatry? Let us examine this sin in this expose'.  Are you a person guilty of the sin of idolatry?

What is Idolatry ?

Idolatry is the worship of spirits, persons, or graven images.  It also includes trusting in any person, institution, or thing as having equal or greater authority than G-d and His Word.

In ancient Biblical times the nations surrounding the children of Israel were involved in idolatry. They worshiped all types of gods and goddesses including Chemosh, Baal, Moloch, and Astaroth. Now Yahweh had warned the children of Israel not to worship these idol gods. Yahweh alone was to be worshiped because He was and is the only "true living G-d" and the Creator.  Unfortunately, Israel fell in and out of idolatry which bought judgment upon the nation for disobeying  G-d.

The very reality is this: Israel fell in love with these idols by worshiping them.  In addition, these idols were really demon spirits. Psalms 106:36-37 reveals the truth that these idols were devils that  caused the people to commit acts of abomination and to sin against G-d.    

Celebrities That Are Worshiped

New American Religion of Celebrity Worship

If you see people that place more emphasis and time in listening to the music of their favorite artist, watching their favorite television program, or dedicated to their favorite sports team and athlete, rather than worshiping G-d, you are seeing someone who is an active participate in a form of religion.  These people religiously follow their idol news media star, movie and television star, sports star, and/or politician.

The new houses of worship for this celebrity-centered religion are the iphone, ipod, computer, online, sports stadium, movie, music concert, television.  The celebrity worship Bible is the tabloid magazine.  Magazines such as US Magazine and The National Inquirer sell millions of copies each week.  Television programs such as E!, Extra, TMZ, Entertainment Tonght, and Access Hollywood give regular daily updates about their gods and goddesses(source).  

Sociologist Rodney Stark states, "typically people do not seek a faith; they encounter one through their ties to other people who already accept this faith." It's been said that fame is a religion, and celebrities are the gods.

So...to Which Idol Should You Bow?

The question is: what celebrity idols do you bow down to daily?  Do you you spend more time listening to ungodly music and watching ungodly music videos? What ungodly Anti-Christian and anti-moral celebrity poster is hanging on the wall of your room?   Do you spend more time reading about your favorite celebrity than you do your Bible? How much time do you spend in prayer versus watching your favorite television show with your favorite actor? Please think about these questions.  If you answered affirmatively to any of them, you might have a serious sin problem with idolatry. Stop bowing down to these celebrity idols! they don't mean your eternal soul any good!

1 John 5:21 warns Christians on the following, "Keep yourselves from idols." Don't bow down to the sin of idolatry! Revelation 21:8 states that idol worshipers will have their destiny in the Lake of Fire. Please keep Jesus Christ first in your life, and you will have eternal life.     

  

Coptic Priest Killed in Egypt(Christian Persecution)

Story Source UPI.com

A coptic priest was shot and killed in northern Sinai in what some are calling "the first sectarian killing" since Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in a military coup.

Mina Aboud Sharween, a Christian priest, was attacked Saturday as we walked in the Masaeed area in El Arish, which is closed to the Gaza strip, in the early afternoon.

Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has reportedly criticized Egypt's spiritual leader, Pope Tawadros, for approving the outing of the president and attending a ceremony lead by the head of the army General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, where Egypt's constitution was suspended.

Adly Mansour has since been sworn in as Egypt's interim president. Morsi suporters have vowed to stay on the streets until the former president is reinstated.

Saturday's shooting came in response to the arrest of several leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood on Friday.

Is he just chillin' with the homie or down with the Illuminati?

I believe Lebron James is one of the most charismatic and talented athletes in the world today. I enjoy seeing him play the game of basketball. This article is not slam or slander the young man.  However, the hand signs or hand gestures he makes on and off the court have to be questioned. I'm not attempting to make this some type of Illuminati witch hunt. Do you think the hand signs he throws up are simply an innocent gestures? Are these hand-signs just part of the culture today like giving someone high five? Or are these hand signs more sinister and symbolize something of great evil?
