However, American presidents from both parties have been warning European leaders for more than a decade of the potential shift of troops away from the continent as the U.S. seeks to focus more effort on confronting the emerging threat of China in the Indo-Pacific, leaving Europe in charge of a greater share of its own security.

European leaders are grappling with how to handle icier relations with the U.S. since President Donald Trump regained control of the White House this year.
“The Europeans have a serious problem of readiness … that they’re trying to fix, but it takes time,” Camille Grand, a former NATO official who is now with the European Council on Foreign Relations, said in a Washington Post report Sunday. “If Trump decides ‘I’m going to pull out U.S. troops from Germany because I’m upset with the trade imbalance,’ that’s much more complicated to manage than to say we have a plan to do this within X years.”
The comments come as European leaders have become increasingly anxious about the future of the security of the continent in the second era of Trump, with the Washington Post reporting that leaders are wary that the American president is too friendly with Moscow and that they widely expect him to pull back roughly 20,000 U.S. troops that were deployed to the continent by former President Joe Biden in the aftermath of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“I would not be surprised if at some point [those troops] go back to their home base in America,” a NATO diplomat told the outlet while noting that those troops were sent to Europe at the height of an emergency and that their exit “would be, so to speak, a return to normalcy.”
The current number of U.S. troops in Europe has fluctuated between 75,000 and 105,000 since 2022, according to data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), with the higher end of that number being a result of the surge of forces into the region ordered by Biden.
But fears persist that those numbers could fall even more rapidly than expected under Trump, despite assurances from Trump administration officials that there are no imminent plans for a large reduction of forces on the continent.
Those fears have been buoyed by recent events, including Vice President JD Vance’s remarks at a security conference in Munich in which the American leader scolded European leaders for their alleged break from shared values such as freedom of speech and Trump’s widening rift with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
However, American presidents from both parties have been warning European leaders for more than a decade of the potential shift of troops away from the continent as the U.S. seeks to focus more effort on confronting the emerging threat of China in the Indo-Pacific, leaving Europe in charge of a greater share of its own security.
Indeed, the U.S. military footprint in Europe has already fallen drastically since the end of the Cold War, the CSIS data shows. At the height of hostilities between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. had nearly 500,000 troops deployed to the continent. There were still roughly 350,000 U.S. troops in Europe at the start of the 1990s and the end of the Cold War, a number that fell further to more than 100,000 at the turn of the century.
Despite the consistent warnings, European leaders now fear that the timeline to move troops from the continent could accelerate further under Trump, leaving holes in European security countries they are not yet able to fill.

“I just worry that, given, frankly, President Trump’s mercurial nature … how much confidence really can Europe have in any degree of American protection and defense,” Nigel Gould-Davies, a former British diplomat and senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told the Washington Post.

Jakarta, Sep 4 (EFE).- Pope Francis called for inter-religious dialogue to counter extremism and intolerance during his speech Wednesday morning at the presidential palace in Jakarta, on the first day of the official agenda of his Southeast Asia tour.
pope arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to begin the longest tour of his papacy : Fishing With The Reformer Pope
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Galatians 4 : 4, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;2 Thessalonians 2 : 3
The pope arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to begin the longest tour of his papacy, which will also take him to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore over 12 days.
“The Catholic Church desires to increase inter-religious dialogue. In this way, prejudices can be eliminated and a climate of mutual respect and trust can grow,” he said in his first appointment at the Istana Merdeka Presidential Palace.
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
Proverbs 28 : 16
“This is indispensable for meeting common challenges, including that of countering extremism and intolerance, which through the distortion of religion attempt to impose their views by using deception and violence.”

He lamented that “in various regions we see the emergence of violent conflicts, which are often the result of a lack of mutual respect, of the intolerant desire to let one’s own interests, one’s own position, or one’s own partial historical narrative prevail at all costs, even when this leads to endless suffering for entire communities and results in wars and much bloodshed.”

[1] After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. [2] And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Esther 3 : 1-2
However, the pontiff began by praising Indonesia’s “mutual respect for the specific cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious characteristics of all the groups” because it “is the indispensable and unifying fabric that makes Indonesians a united and proud people.”
Catholics makes up around 3 percent of Indonesia’s 270 million people, but is still the third-largest Catholic population in Asia after the Philippines and China. Muslims make up around 87 percent of the country.
Together with outgoing President Joko Widodo, whom he met with Wednesday, Francis reiterated that “harmony in diversity is achieved when particular perspectives take into account the needs common to all and when each ethnic group and religious denomination acts in a spirit of fraternity, pursuing the noble goal of serving the good of all.”
[3] Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? [4] Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Esther 3 : 3-4
He added that this “wise and delicate balance, between the multiplicity of cultures and different ideological visions, and the ideals that cement unity, must be continuously defended against imbalances.”
Although, Francis also stressed that the Catholic Church desires to increase inter-religious dialogue “in order to promote a peaceful and fruitful harmony that ensures peace and unites efforts to remove the imbalances and suffering that still persist in some areas of the country.”
According to data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS), although decreasing, there are 25 million poor people in the country.

The Pope will attend an interfaith meeting on Thursday at Istiqlal mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia and connected to the nearby Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption by the “tunnel of friendship,” where he will sign a joint declaration on tolerance with the grand imam, Nasaruddin Umar.
[10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. [11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. [12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke 23 : 10-12
Francis considered that “there are times when faith in God is continually placed in the forefront, but is sadly manipulated to foment divisions and increase hatred instead of furthering peace, communion, dialogue, respect, cooperation and fraternity.”
[47] Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? [48] Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
John 7 : 47-48
He concluded by sending a message to the country’s political class, assuring that “harmony is achieved when we are committed not only to our own interests and vision, but to the good of all, to building bridges, fostering agreements and synergies, joining forces in order to defeat all forms of moral, economic and social distress, and promoting peace and concord.” EFE
[5] And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. [6] And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

Pope Francis : Those who insist on keeping the truth over preaching the Gospel have threatened the church
Minutes after the end of the 42 days of the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire, Israel endorses what it says is a US proposal to see the ceasefire with Hamas extended through Ramadan and Passover, during which all hostages could potentially be released.
Ramadan, which began Friday night, runs until March 29. Passover ends on April 19.
Half of the hostages — Quick and Dead
Half of the hostages — living and dead — would be released on the first day of the extended ceasefire, says the Prime Minister’s Office in a statement released after a four-hour meeting headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Truth and error are both in the field, striving for the mastery. The champions of truth will have a fierce conflict. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The warning comes, and the directions are repeated, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” All that the Lord has told you, it devolves on you to do. No one need be deceived, if he will make the word of God his study. How little is the book of Revelation studied! It is a hidden mystery to the religious world; and why?—Because the events not pleasant for consideration, are so faithfully traced by the prophetic pen; and people who are in any way troubled about the matter are soothed by their shepherds, with the statement that the Revelation cannot be understood. But it is to be understood; for it especially concerns us who are living in these last days. Read Revelation 1:1-3. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Read the last chapter of Revelation carefully and prayerfully. What significance there is in the statements of this chapter! “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” This is the most effectual teaching that can be given in the church built for the Sanitarium, and this testimony is to be given in all the churches. Wherever there is an opportunity to reach the people, the attention should be called from the earthly to the heavenly. “And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” We are to voice the words of the angel. SpTA07 52.2

America Leads, America First : A plan proposed by US special envoy
The remaining hostages would be released at the end of the period if a permanent ceasefire is reached, says the PMO, stressing that this is a plan proposed by US special envoy Steve Witkoff.

If Hamas changes its extreme mental structure position
Hamas has yet to accept Witkoff’s plan, says Israel. “If Hamas changes its position,” says Netanyahu’s office, “Israel will immediately enter negotiations on all the details of the Witkoff plan.”
The Return to The Dark Ages!
The statement does not directly threaten a return to war, instead reminding the public, and Hamas, that the initial agreement allows Israel to return to fighting after March 1 — meaning at any moment now — if negotiations are deemed ineffective.
The PMO claims that Hamas has repeatedly violated the agreement, while Israel is in full compliance.

However, the agreement states that talks on phase two of the deal will begin “no later than day 16.” Israel has not engaged in indirect talks with Hamas on the second phase of the agreement until after day 42. Additionally, the IDF didn’t start withdrawing its forces from the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border on Saturday, despite the deal requiring Israel to start this process on day 42.
The marathon meeting was attended by Defense Minister Israel Katz, senior defense officials, and Israel’s negotiating team, says the PMO

Blue Origin’s next crewed flight mission aboard its tourism rocket, expected to lift off this spring, will carry an all-female crew to space.
Journalist Gayle King, singer Katy Perry and bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen are among the six-person crew who will launch on the New Shepard vehicle. They will be joined by Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist and CEO of STEMBoard, and Kerianne Flynn, a film producer who has conducted nonprofit work with The Allen-Stevenson School, The High Line and Hudson River Park.
Lauren Sánchez, a pilot, journalist and vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund, “brought the mission together” and will also be on the flight, according to Blue Origin. Sánchez is also engaged to the company’s founder, Jeff Bezos.

The mission, known as NS-31, will be New Shepard’s 11th flight carrying humans past the Kármán line, an area 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth’s surface that is widely recognized as the altitude at which outer space begins — but there’s a lot of gray area. Blue Origin has not announced a specific date for the mission.
The company, founded by Bezos in 2000, said the mission will be the first all-female flight crew since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963. Since its inception, NASA has selected 61 women to be astronauts, and the first all-female spacewalk, carried out by NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, occurred outside the International Space Station in October 2019.

Stiff winds blew over Canada’s Toronto Pearson Airport Monday afternoon as a slim aircraft, cleared by air traffic controllers to land, and its 80 passengers and crew approached the tarmac as snow whipped in the air. But within moments, the plane crashed into the runway, sending fire crews scrambling to extinguish the rising flames around the overturned jet.
[2] Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? [34] For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

All on board the Delta flight from Minneapolis survived the crash, but it is still unclear how the aircraft was upended, leaving it belly-up, streaked with black residue and much of a wing gone. Inside, seat-belted passengers were suspended from their seats.

Initial reports indicate that there are no fatalities, Delta said in a statement Monday evening. Both the airline and Toronto Airport Fire Chief Todd Aitken noted 18 people were injured in the crash and have been transported to area hospitals.
[2] And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? [3] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Four Angels Holding Four Winds : Fourth Major Aviation Accident
“We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries,” Deborah Flint, CEO of the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, told reporters.
Terrible have been the results of rejecting the authority of Heaven. But a scene yet darker is presented in the revelations of the future. The records of the past,—the long procession of tumults, conflicts, and revolutions, the “battle of the warrior … with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood” (Isaiah 9:5),—what are these, in contrast with the terrors of that day when the restraining Spirit of God shall be wholly withdrawn from the wicked, no longer to hold in check the outburst of human passion and satanic wrath! The world will then behold, as never before, the results of Satan’s rule. GC 36.2

Canadian and American investigators will now work to determine what upended the plane. Here’s what we know about the moments leading up to and following the collision, pieced together by flight and weather data, video footage and witness accounts.
‘The aircraft is upside down and burning’
Delta Flight 4819 departed Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport on Monday and approached its destination at Toronto Pearson International Airport shortly after 2 p.m. local time, the airline said.
Night Far Spent: Fishing With The Pope All Night! LOCKDOWN CAPTIVITY!
Strong winds had been buffeting Toronto all day, and airport personnel had worked through the night to clear remnants of the approximately 8 inches of snow that blanketed the airport over the weekend.
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

As the plane neared the airport, air traffic controllers notified its pilots of about 38 mph wind gusts. “Might be a slight bump in the glide path,” the air traffic worker said. “There will be an aircraft in front of you.”

Within two minutes, the plane had flipped. Fire erupted as the aircraft tumbled, and the plane slammed into the runway, spitting out a huge fireball and leaving passengers hung aloft in their seats, according to passengers John Nelson and Peter Koukov.
[29] Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. [31] Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.Acts 27 : 29, 31
Koukov said he “didn’t know anything was the matter” until the plane hit the ground and felt like it had turned sideways, he said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Out Front.”
“When we got finished, I was upside down, everybody else was there as well,” Nelson said. “We tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.” He added that once he was out of the plane, there was another explosion but “luckily the firefighters got out of there.”

A medical helicopter flying nearby rerouted its path to assist with the crash. As the helicopter pilots approached, air traffic control workers warned them that people were out and walking around the aircraft, according to LiveATC audio.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
2 Timothy 4 : 11
“Yeah, we’ve got it. The aircraft is upside down and burning,” the helicopter pilot responded.
‘We were … hanging like bats’
Fire engines raced onto the tarmac and began spraying thick sheets of white fire retardant over the aircraft’s battered fuselage. It’s unclear where the fire originated, but video shows the plane’s fiberglass frame had melted around the engine and thick black streaks stained its side.
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:Matthew 24 : 17
After the aircraft came to a standstill, “we were upside down hanging like bats,” Koukov said. He was able to unbuckle himself and stand upright on the ceiling of the plane, but some people needed help getting down from their seats.
Shake thyself from the dust 🐍; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52 : 2
People were yelling for them to get out of the plane
Nelson said the scene was chaotic as he and his seatmate released themselves from their belts and fell to the floor. People were yelling for them to get out of the plane, and they made a beeline towards an opening, he said.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18 : 4
Peter Carlson, another passenger on the Delta flight, told CBC that “it was cement and metal” in the upside-down plane. “The absolute initial feeling is just need to get out of this.”
Brother’s Keeper
“What I saw was everyone on that plane suddenly became very close, in terms of how to help one another, how to console one another,” Carlson told CBC.

Flight attendants helped passengers crawl out of open exit doors, urging people to leave belongings behind, though some still exited with bags in tow, video from Koukov shows.
[3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. [4] Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. [5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luke 10 : 3-5
Evacuees jumped from the door frames onto the snow-covered ground as sprays of fire retardant rained overhead. People hugged themselves as protection from the wind as they moved away from the plane, looking back at what they just endured.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6 : 14
While some people were injured, most seemed OK, Nelson said. But he was left stressed and shaky following the few seconds it took for the plane to turn over.
Canada’s busiest airport grinds to a halt
The crash prompted Toronto Pearson International to temporarily shut down all five of its runways Monday afternoon, causing delays at the country’s busiest airport and forcing several flights to divert to nearby airports.
Passengers who weren’t on the plane but at the airport before flights were canceled Monday described the accident and subsequent havoc at Pearson as “messed up,” saying that it is “going to take weeks” for the airport to recover, according to CBC.
“Have you seen luggage in Terminal 1 and Terminal 4? There is luggage everywhere,” Barb Fraser, a passenger who was supposed to head home to Vancouver, told the Canadian outlet.

More than 200 flights were canceled out of the airport by 4:15 local time, according to FlightRadar24. About 300 miles to the east, Quebec’s Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport prepared to receive diversion flights.
At around 5 p.m. local time, Toronto Pearson announced three of its runways would reopen to arriving and departing flights. The remaining two runways where the crash took place will stay closed for several days as investigators analyze the scene, Flint said.
The last major aviation accident at the Toronto airport was nearly two decades ago, on August 2, 2005, according to the Associated Press, when an inbound Air France flight from Paris slid off the runway and burst into flames. All 309 people on board survived.
CNN’s Amanda Jackson, Aaron Cooper, Elise Hammond, Alexandra Skores, Max Saltman and Michael Rios contributed to this report.
According to the indictment, one of the Israelis arrested, Ratib Omar, 18, began associating himself with the terror group Hamas after the war began by watching inciting content online and delving into extremist propaganda.

About 2,000 people crowd into Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to mark 500 days since October 7, 2023.
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.Mark 5 : 13
Another 1,000 or so spill out to Shaul HaMelech Street, where speeches are projected on large screens.
At 8 p.m., some of those in attendance break a 500-minute fast that the Hostages Families Forum had announced.
Varda Ben Baruch, grandmother of US-Israeli captive soldier Edan Alexandar, calls for the hostages’ release, recites a blessing and sips some water.
“I want to break the fast and break their fate,” she says.
Edan’s mother Yael speaks next.
“I am Yael Alexandar, and I haven’t breathed for 500 days,” she says. Subsequent speakers open their speeches the same way.

She calls on the government to hammer out a deal that will bring all remaining hostages home at once, rather than the current deal’s protracted releases — another common theme in the night’s speeches.
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

“President Trump, in the last two weeks, you brought back two American citizens, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Keith Siegel,” she says. “Today, I ask you to bring my son Edan home to our family.”
[7] Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. [8] Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. [9] Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. [10] Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: [11] That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Isaiah 66 : 7-11
Danielle Aloni, who was held captive in Gaza until she was freed as part of a brie ceasefire agreement in November 2023, and whose brother-in-law, David Cunio, and his younger brother, Ariel, remain in captivity, says her family received a sign of life from David Cunio from one of the recently returned hostages. The crowd breaks out into applause.
Bring Living David Into Living Room : Jewish Prophecy of Drunken Alexander The Great!
Addressing Netanyahu, Aloni says: “As of a few days ago, David is alive. And it’s your responsibility to bring him home. David has no more time to wait.”

Flee Alexander and David, The Sea headed by Harlot Witch of Endor 🌊 hath spoken! One Mind
Edan Alexander and David Cunio are both slated for release only in the deal’s next, second phase. The second phase would see Hamas release young men still in captivity after the the release in the current phase of 33 women, children, civilian men over 50 and those deemed “humanitarian cases.”
Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. Isaiah 23 : 4
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:Isaiah 51 : 21, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.John 8 : 32
Netanyahu’s right-wing flank has threatened to topple the government should it proceed to the second phase, which would require Israel to withdraw from Gaza (Desert 🏜️) . The premier has not committed to the second phase.
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Acts 8 : 26
Yeela David, whose brother Evyatar David is slated for release only in the second phase, says it is “the last chance to save to save dozens of men left behind in the current phase of the deal.”
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.Isaiah 49 : 18
“The young men who were left behind did not undergo any special training to handle this situation. They’re just like anyone else,” she says. “If the deal falls apart and there is no second phase, it will be a stain on our history books.”
[14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. [17] And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

One of the Israelis that was arrested began associating himself with Hamas after the war began by watching inciting content online and delving in to extremist propaganda.
[1] Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. [2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. [3] Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. [4] No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. [5] And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. [6] The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. [7] Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

An indictment was filed at the Lod District Court against two Israelis from the Triangle area after they planned to carry out a terror attack against IDF soldiers, Israeli media reported on Thursday.
[9] Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. [10] Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. [11] It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: [12] If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

DID FAMILY LIFE WEEK REMOVE THE VEIL? GATHERING HOME MASS DEPORTATION!
MONTREAL, Feb. 15, 2025 /CNW/ – On February 17, a day dedicated to celebrating family, human rights advocates and community leaders will gather to call on the federal government to take urgent action to accelerate the reunification of refugee family members.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3 : 13
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2 : 3
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5 : 6
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. Ecclesiastes 9 : 12
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. Amos 5 : 13
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Colossians 4 : 5
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. Jeremiah 29 : 8
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. Psalm 140 : 11
As the papacy became firmly established, the work of Sunday exaltation was continued.
For a time the people engaged in agricultural labor when not attending church, and the seventh day was still regarded as the Sabbath. But steadily a change was effected. Those in holy office were forbidden to pass judgment in any civil controversy on the Sunday. Soon after, all persons, of whatever rank, were commanded to refrain from common labor on pain of a fine for freemen and stripes in the case of servants. Later it was decreed that rich men should be punished with the loss of half of their estates; and finally, that if still obstinate they should be made slaves. The lower classes were to suffer perpetual banishment. GC 574.3
Has not the same process been repeated in nearly every church calling itself Protestant? As the founders, those who possessed the true spirit of reform, pass away, their descendants come forward and “new-model the cause.” While blindly clinging to the creed of their fathers and refusing to accept any truth in advance of what they saw, the children of the reformers depart widely from their example of humility, self-denial, and renunciation of the world. Thus “the first simplicity disappears.” A worldly flood, flowing into the church, carries “with it its customs, practices, and idols.”
Alas, to what a fearful extent is that friendship of the world which is “enmity with God,” now cherished among the professed followers of Christ! How widely have the popular churches throughout Christendom departed from the Bible standard of humility, self-denial, simplicity, and godliness! GC 385.1 – GC 385.2
What was the origin of the great apostasy? How did the church first depart from the simplicity of the gospel? By conforming to the practices of paganism, to facilitate the acceptance of Christianity by the heathen. The apostle Paul declared, even in his day, “The mystery of iniquity doth already work.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7. During the lives of the apostles the church remained comparatively pure. But “toward the latter end of the second century most of the churches assumed a new form; the first simplicity disappeared, and insensibly, as the old disciples retired to their graves, their children, along with new converts, … came forward and new-modeled the cause.”—Robert Robinson, Ecclesiastical Researches, ch. 6, par. 17, p. 51. To secure converts, the exalted standard of the Christian faith was lowered, and as the result “a pagan flood, flowing into the church, carried with it its customs, practices, and idols.”—Gavazzi, Lectures, page 278. As the Christian religion secured the favor and support of secular rulers, it was nominally accepted by multitudes; but while in appearance Christians, many “remained in substance pagans , especially worshiping in secret their idols.”—Ibid., page 278. GC 384.5
More than five years of separation, resulting from immigration policies and the annual quota limitations, have left children suffering from insecurity and distress, making them increasingly vulnerable.
The season of distress and anguish before us will require a faith that can endure weariness, delay, and hunger,—a faith that will not faint, though severely tried. Those who now exercise but little faith are in the greatest danger of falling under the power of satanic delusions and the decree to compel conscience. And even if they endure the test, they will be plunged into deeper distress and anguish in the time of trouble, because they have not made it a habit to trust in God. The lessons of faith which they have neglected, they will be forced to learn under a terrible pressure of discouragement. YI July 12, 1904, par. 7

Heartbreaking Stories of Separation From Jerusalem
Ms Trophiana Wilson, a refugee mother, has been separated from her children for over seven years.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Galatians 4 : 26
“My kids were orphaned while I am alive,” she says. “I left them when they were 2, 5, and 7… they grew up without me.”

Location:
St. Jax Church, Montreal
Clear Solution: Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs)
While long-term reforms are necessary, an immediate solution exists: issuing Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs) to refugee family members while they await permanent residency. Canada has already applied this solution for Family Class immigrants—refugee families deserve the same compassion.
Why TRPs Matter:
Canada’s Legal & Humanitarian Duty – The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child obligates Canada to reunite families swiftly.
Precedent Exists – The policy has already been applied to other immigration categories.
Economic & Social Benefits – Reunited families integrate faster and contribute more effectively to society.
Call to Action
The government must act now. On a day meant to celebrate families, let’s ensure that all families—including refugees—can be together.
Join us on Family Day to demand justice and reunification. Media representatives are invited to attend and report on this urgent issue.
The Nassar family managed to assemble a semblance of their home’s old living room. A sofa and some chairs survived, along with a small table they can gather around to eat. The room’s wall had been almost entirely blown away, so they hung sheets over the gaping hole, hiding the mound of wreckage outside.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.Micah 2 : 10
Buried somewhere under that rubble, Khalid Nassar knows, is the body of his son Mahmoud. It has lain there unretrievable for the past four months since he was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Re-create some bit of Normal lives Amid the Death and Destruction
This has been the struggle for displaced Palestinians returning to their homes in Gaza under the nearly month-old ceasefire: To re-create some bit of normal lives amid the death and destruction left by 16 months of Israeli bombardment and ground offensives against Hamas fighters (Inserted _:Prophets of Doom).
Finding ways to Settle in : Living in Tents or other Shelters, No Rebuilding!
Coming home after months — or more than a year — of living in tents or other shelters,families have no means to do any serious rebuilding. So they find little ways to settle in.
[42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: [43] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt (Modern Day Rome): I am the LORD your God.Leviticus 23 : 42-43
Apartment buildings that were reduced to hollowed-out skeletons have been draped with colorful bed linens serving as walls
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?1 Corinthians 3 : 16
Apartment buildings that were reduced to hollowed-out skeletons have been draped with colorful bed linens serving as walls — as if the houses have been turned inside-out. Families dig chunks of concrete and mangled metal out of the interior to make them semi-habitable. Rooms look like fragmented movie sets, with furniture arranged in any intact corner, while the remaining walls are shattered.
And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.Isaiah 60 : 10, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;.....Revelation 1 : 6
PROPHECY FULFILLED : Mahmoud was killed in October when he tried to go back home to retrieve some clothes in the neighboring building
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains (Israel):Matthew 24 : 16, Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:Romans 9 : 6, Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,Ezekiel 6 : 2
The Nassars fled their home in Jabaliya refugee camp early last year, moving around northern Gaza. Khalid Nassar’s son Mahmoud was killed in October when he tried to go back home to retrieve some clothes in the neighboring building, which they also owned, and a strike hit it, Nassar said. His daughter was also killed in a separate airstrike on her home in Jabaliya, where her body too remains buried under rubble.Clothes hang to dry outside a destroyed room belonging to the Nassar family in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025.

Pope Francis Has Seen Our Futures!
The family returned in January, as soon as Israeli troops withdrew from Jabaliya, which had been the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the war in the previous four months.
Three-story Building was wiped away : “Sanctuary Message Three Apartments” Sacrificial First Apartment Done Away
They found the top floor of their three-story building was wiped away. One of Nassar’s sons settled with his wife and kids on the second floor. The 61-year-old Nassar, his wife Khadra Abu Libda, 59, and the five children of another son, who was imprisoned by Israel, moved into what remains of the ground floor.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Genesis 6 : 16
I saw that the two-horned beast 9 had a dragon mouth, and that his power was in his head, and that the decree would go out of his mouth. Then I saw the mother of harlots, that the mother was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. 10 She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, Protestant sects, were next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power the daughters have been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once manifested by the mother. I saw that the nominal churches and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics, to obtain their influence to come against the saints. The saints will be an obscure people, but little known to the Catholics, but the church and nominal Adventists will know of our faith and customs, and will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institution of the pope—that is, they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday. Then the Catholics bid the Protestants to go forward and issue a decree that all who will not observe the first day of the week instead of the seventh shall be slain, 12 and the Catholics, whose numbers are large, will stand by the Protestants. The Catholics will give their power to the image of the beast, and then Protestants will work as their mother worked before them to destroy the saints. But before their decrees bring forth or bear fruit, the saints will be delivered by the voice of God. Then I saw that Jesus’ work in the sanctuary 13 was almost finished, almost finished, and after His work there is finished He will come to the door of the tabernacle, or door of the first apartment, and confess the sins of Israel upon the head of the scapegoat. 14 Then He will put on the garments of vengeance. Then the plagues 15 come upon the wicked, and they do not come until Jesus puts on the garments of vengeance and takes His seat upon the great white cloud. Then, while the plagues are falling, the scapegoat is being led away. He makes a mighty struggle to escape, but he is held fast by the hand that bears him away. If he should effect his escape, Israel would be destroyed (or slain). I saw that it would take time to bear him away into the land of forgetfulness after the sins were put upon his head. Jesus clothes Himself with the garments of vengeance and takes His place upon the great white cloud 16 before the plagues are poured out. The great white cloud, I saw, was not in the holy place but entirely separate from the holy and most holy, entirely separate from the sanctuary. 1EGWLM 244.1 – 1EGWLM 246.1
Their Living Room Furniture Remained.
Miraculously, their living room furniture remained. Other rooms were trashed, littered with debris. In one room, someone had spray painted “Hamas” on the wall – Nassar said he didn’t know who did it or whether the house was used by fighters during the battles.
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. Hebrews 9 : 2
Search For Water of Life (3km) and Bread/Manna
For water, they have to walk 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) to wait in line for hours at a well – when the pump there is working. For food, they have collected some humanitarian aid supplies, some bread, and a green called “khobeiza” in Arabic that grows in empty lots.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29 : 13
Father ‘my son (The Word/Treasure of Heaven) out from under the rubble’
But the wreckage next door where his son is buried haunts Nassar. “Every minute I think about how to get my son out from under the rubble,” he said. “I can’t describe the torment so long as my son is not properly buried.”
He said he digs every day, but the only tool he has is a shovel, so he can’t lift the large slabs of concrete. “This morning, I was digging and searching, but I found nothing but some papers and clothes,” he said.
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Revelation 16 : 15
God has given treasures to the church not to be hoarded, not to be buried in the earth, but to be imparted to others, that others may be enriched as well as ourselves. How shall we work? Let laymen and ministers follow the example of Christ. Let them meet the people where they are. I would entreat you to labor in word and doctrine. EA 195.2
Golden Age : Hundreds of Thousands of Palestinians Flooded Back to Homes across Gaza
After the ceasefire in January, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flooded back to homes across Gaza that they had fled. Not everyone has been able to return. Hanan Okal said her family’s building in Jabaliya was flattened. So they are staying in the nearby school-turned-shelter where they have been taking refuge.Khalid Nassar, 61, sits with his wife, Khadra Abu Libda, 59, and his grandchildren for lunch, with fabric covering the hole in a wall of their destroyed house in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025.

Set Up a Ladder to Climb in and out of the Second Floor, Dream of Pope Francis or Christ True Israel?
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.Genesis 28 : 12, I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.Proverbs 8 : 23, Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. Psalm 140 : 11
Nearby in Jabaliya, the Odeh family returned to find their building’s ground floor gutted. They had to set up a ladder to climb in and out of the second floor, where Yousef and his brother Mohammed Oudeh settled in with their families.
The ladder is the medium of communication between God and man. Through the mystic ladder, the gospel was preached to Jacob. As the ladder stretched from earth, reaching to the highest heavens, and the glory of God was seen above the ladder, so Christ in His divine nature reached immensity and was one with the Father. As the ladder, though its top penetrated into heaven, had it base upon the earth, so Christ, though God, clothed His divinity with humanity and was in the world “found in fashion as a man.” [Philippians 2:8.] The ladder would be useless if it rested not on the earth or if it reached not to the heavens. 4LtMs, Ms 13, 1884, par. 52
Their parents, Ahmed and Mariam, stay in a tent of wood and plastic sheets outside. The shell of their building does no better than the tent to protect from the cold, they said.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isaiah 28 : 17
“Under His Wings” Islam To Bring Presents to the Lord Jesus
With the surrounding neighborhood flattened, there’s nothing to shield them from the cold February wind. At one point, the wind blew away and tore the sheets they had set up in the holes in the walls. So they scrounged for new sheets and blankets among the rubble of other houses.
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;Ephesians 4 : 14
Adventists to be Ready for the family’s return : Reassemble an almost cozy-looking sitting Room.
Youssef Issa returned to his family home in Jabaliya to prepare it ahead of his parents and siblings, who remain in their shelter in central Gaza.
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.Isaiah 57 : 14
He found it in relatively good shape. It was partially damaged by nearby collapsed buildings, but apparently, it was used by Israeli troops as a position at some point in the fighting, so it wasn’t bombarded. Issa said he, his cousin and his friends swept out the debris and spent ammunition casings.
Enemies Roar In The Midst of Houses
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.Hosea 7 : 9
Like many houses, his had been scavenged and looted for anything of value.Clothes, blankets and any food left behind was taken. But his flat-screen TV was not touched: Without electricity, it was useless to steal it.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.Psalm 74 : 4
But Issa was able to reassemble an almost cozy-looking sitting room. The family’s plush purple sofa was still intact. He draped thick red fabric over the hole in the wall behind it. And he arranged the cushions on the sofa just right – ready for his family’s return.
[1] Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. [2] For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

[33] And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets, [34] And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering, [35] The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat, [36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread, [37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light, Exodus 39 : 33-37
