The way I see it

You will notice that this is not my regular heading, it seems the Islamic hackers have been able to bring my computer completely down and as of this time I've been unable to have it fixed, it may need to be replaced, that would mean I will lose a lot of data and be expensive.

Around a million Israelis have spent the past couple days and nights in bomb shelters the ones who haven't have been very nervous when outside, listening acutely for the sirens to go off.

You hear of the disproportionate numbers of causalities with Lebanon suffering many hundreds and Israel with less than a hundred dead, but we too have many wounded. But the real truth is the Lebanese Government hasn't cared enough to make sure that the people have bomb shelters. Here in Israel every house has either a bomb shelter or a safe room. The safe rooms consist of reinforced walls, sealed doors and windows; the one window has a shatter proof glass and a large heavy steel door to close over the window to protect it against the blast.

There is so much to report and I only have a few minutes before I must get ready for a trip into Jerusalem, I am also using someone else's computer.

This is all out war and promises to get much worse before it gets better. The two greatest concerns we have in my opinion is Hizbullah drawing Syria into the battle, my reason for saying that is Syria and Iran have made a pack with each other, that if neither is attacked the other will come to the rescue. Syria has many Scud "D' & "C" missiles, but Iran has an unknown number of Ballistic missiles all armed and ready to go. Our Arrow 2 is not tested for such an onslaught of missiles. Our Patriot anti missiles proved to be a failure in the 1991 war with Saddam, 39 scuds fell into Tel-Aviv and only by a miracle of God no one was killed, with the exception of one man who died of a heart attack. In fact the Patriots are useless against the Katyushas, of which Israel has already been hit with over 700 of them in the past 5 days.

We hear the G-8 saying that Israel must show restraint, could you imagine hearing that when the Twin Towers where hit? Israel has no choice but to destroy Hizbullah and in the process Hamas as well, for if we don't do that now and we back out, the terrorist win a major victory and will gain the needed courage to go after others.

As for the rest of the Arab Islamic world, for the most part they are Sunni and don't want the Shiites to win in such a way that they will become militarily strong on their borders, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others are keeping quiet for now. But when a push comes to a shove the old Arab saying will come into effect, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" meaning Israel is the enemy of their enemy therefore they will at some point join in for the destruction of Israel. For example as bad as the Saudis dislike Iran, they support many Shiite Moslems around the world in the name of Allah. And when it comes to destroying Israel all Arab Moslems unite regardless of their differences.

Haifa and Tiberias now have been hit with the longer range Katyushas rockets, but we know Hizbullah has missiles capable to hitting Tel-Aviv with over a million Jews, in fact, they have already said they will hit Tel-Aviv and that they have many surprises, we take that to mean chemical warheads, if they should do that all the ground rules will change and many will die on both sides.

Every Jew in Israel has been issued a gas mask and the necessary treatment for nerve gas should it be necessary. And today Israel sits in anticipation of such an attack. But only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not there god can help them if they send a weapon of mass destruction. And if Iran does send a nuclear or chemical bomb this way, the United States will no longer have to worry about Iran, for we will turn it into a glass factory. And it is my belief that if Syria sends any of their scuds into Israel, we will see Isa. 17:1 Damascus will be leveled and totally destroyed.

I don't need to tell you that we are living in the most dangerous days this world has ever seen, for if anyone believes this war can't spread into the US and Europe almost over night they are terribly wrong.

There are dozens of Scriptures telling us that Israel will be here when the Messiah comes, so I rest in that assurance also knowing that God would not have given this Messenger a vision of rescuing Jews as they begin to flee from Europe. As difficult as it may seem to keep our eyes on the calling we must and there is still so much to be accomplished.

We have in the past limited this Ministry to helping only 3 Jewish families with the necessary food and occasionally other needs. But it may also be necessary for us to expand that part of this Ministry as so many are now hurting being unable to earn a living. We are certainly unable financially to expand that part of this ministry as it is not the main goal of what God has called us to do, but God has also called us to be compassionate and we must. So by faith we will accept the extra responsibility if the Ruach Ha Koddesh leads us in that direction. We must however not ever allow anything to get in the way of the main ministry of rescuing Jews and we must be about bringing the larger boat to Israel soon.

You are listening to the news, and know of the many horrible things happening here in Israel, and I am asking you to keep you eyes on God's calling and not allow anything to distract us from what we have been called to do.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden
