Ariel Sharon, A Lion Sleeps & Rabbi Kaduri's Prediction

This week I got an email from a spiritually astute friend in Jerusalem who was reminding that today, Jan 4 th , is six years to the day that Ariel Sharon fell into coma on January 4 th 2006. His article was, SIX YEARS: THE LION CONTINUES TO SPEAK.

If you remember back, when Ariel Sharon fell into a coma many Christians and Jews – saved and unsaved, in the nations and in Israel – said it was the punishment of God for “dividing the Land” in the Disengagement of Gaza. I personally do not believe that, but my purpose is not to stir up an old controversy which I don’t believe can be reconciled in arguing among ourselves.

I do agree with the prayer request this brother issued in his discussion of Sharon’s continuing life in a coma, and that is:

*That revelation and interpretation would be given to the Body of Messiah in Israel as to what the Spirit is saying to the Congregations through the phenomenon, perhaps "sign", of Sharon's endurance after these six years.

Also, with my experience over the last year after our grandson’s near fatal accident that left him in a coma for many weeks and in vegetative state for weeks after that, I am certain that even in these states the Holy Spirit of God is able to commune with a person – spirit to spirit. There is no other explanation for the God-consciousness that our grandson emerged from his deep sleep with that has remained with him as his sever brain trauma has been healing miraculously. So I also agree with this man’s prayer for the soul of Ariel Sharon – that he receive the Messiah – and that the revelation also extend to Ariel Sharon’s two sons who attend him, Omri and Gilad.

In relation to Ariel Sharon, there is also a video that is making the rounds in believer circles about the now deceased Kabbalist Rabbi Kaduri who is said to have named the Messiah before his death as Yehoshua or Yeshua. In the video that is

circulating, Kaduri is said to make the prediction that when Ariel Sharon died that the Messiah would come.

I don’t know about all that, but I do have a word of caution for those who are receiving Kaduri’s words as a valid prophecy from God. It is this:

First, I believe I need to caution my friends about investing too much interest in what Rabbi Kaduri may or may not have said concerning Yeshua and His return. Christians place FAR TOO MUCH interest in what the unsaved rabbis say than in the gospel that is going forth in Israel through the SAVED REMNANT.

Now, I am not saying that Rabbi Kaduri did not have some revelation of the identity of Yeshua, BUT I ABSOLUTELY CAUTION you against receiving a prophetic date setting of Messiah's return based on the word of a Kabbalist rabbi who did not come out of the closet about his faith in an open way, and even in a closed way only a year after his death!

There is a very UNHEALTHY interest in Christian circles with unsaved rabbis. We believe for them to be saved, but we don't hang on their every word and fund their projects - even their projects to rebuild the temple. This is such a dangerous trap!

God can use anyone He wants to speak to us - and when He uses something or someone like an unsaved rabbi or even a donkey, it is generally because we have not listened to HIS voice, or those true prophets He has sent to us. So He has to pick the most surprising and unlikely source to get our attention. That is what I think may be happening here.

For years I have heard reports tickling the believers' ears about secret rabbis who believe in Yeshua. Some lying people have even declared they met them, only to be exposed later to have made it all up for their own renown. I am just cautious about secret believers. Until they come out, I don't know what good they are doing the kingdom of the LORD.

Caveat emptor. If you are buying into this report about Kaduri, then "Let the buyer beware."

Christianity EtcRe: The Tower Of Babel by twosquare(m): 7:17pm On Dec 24, 2013
Pastor Olu T: Bravo bro twosquare, but this would have been better on the thread "Tree of life or Tree of the knowledge of good and evil"

U dint really say anything on this thread, Babel=confusion?
U have said it all..concerning Babel. Wat was done in the time of Nimrod was actually a rebellion against authority and heaven. That “thought" is wat is disturbing.... God scattered their language just to save man. Coz even man is becoming too light to carry the Edenic language.He has become flesh, no longer a living soul. Hence, scattering the language is neccessary. All Man's thought is fleshy, sensual and not like God anymore. No wonder, they are thinking of building a tower that will reach heaven. And it is written, “By flesh shall no man prevail"
As u said, God want Man to unite in the Spirit and Truth.....It is a unity that will be birthed by the Spirit like unto the day of Pentecost.Shall then the Kingdom of God come.upon men. For the coming of the Spirit is Kingdom. So also,satan want men to unite in the flesh... flesh thoughts.. .that men won't become spirits. As long as man is flesh, it won't disturb him... for by this shall he continue his reign on man. satan wants men to live by his senses, see via the eyes of the flesh and this All results in CONFUSION(Babel)/Rebellion.... coz d way of the flesh is anti-God.This is what the man of sin shall perfect &sell that type of life to mankind: which is great darkness. Many nations are already in it..this is the lie (though may seem beautiful but it is on one mission: to remove every iota of God in Man).Man will live by himself and believe in himself..he will believe in his own strength and live by it.
Babel is here...confusion is here... rebellion has been set in motion. But in the midst of this, an Angel is crying out loud: O'ye that dwell in the realm of Men...hear what the Son is saying, who has been made so much better than the angels. He have the word to beat All the darkness, confusion and rebellion in this present age. Shallom.

Christianity EtcRe: The Tower Of Babel by twosquare(m): 4:53pm On Dec 22, 2013
Now, the “Becoming like God" was later fulfilled in a Man: Jesus. The Father gave the Holy Ghost the formular for Resurrection: it has never been used before.God studied how Satan wrote his own Law of death and wrote His own Law of Life which can turn death itself to Life.Death itself will be swallowed up.So,satan lost d key to death...

The person we now have on the throne now is a Man who is God....a Man-God......for the first time in the whole of heavens and earth and under the earth; a man was seen wearing the Glory of the Father... finally the Father can rest,for what He wants to achieved in Man is done.

No wonder It is said we have an Advocate with the Father...The Father is now saying to Men.....follow suit. Jesus is the standard.
Christianity EtcRe: The Tower Of Babel by twosquare(m): 4:34pm On Dec 22, 2013
Adam was tempted ... not that he didn't know that the person talking is an enemy. Adam sinned..Eve was beguiled...there was voices in Him when deciding which to follow but d glory d evil tree was painting is powerful. He took it to arrive at the same answer: “becoming like God" but dat decision was a disaster. Adam wasn't a bad person, he was just looking for a short-cut;he shied away from d suffering of the Spirit.. coz the Tree of Life to him takes time. But the evil tree open ur eyes fast fast......God doesn't rush tinz....for your eyes to be opened will take process..

The tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil gives quick inheritance.. as u are eating... u are being rewarded.

satan gave man death....d type of death he propagates and created.. which is total separation. So when u hear Jesus talk in d Gospels that “He was a muderer from the beginning". Forget abt satan involvement in killing the sons of man(prophets);it is more than that. Satan murdered the life of God,Elohim puts in him.In other words,he killed Himself and turned that light into darkness.

Not just him,He also did the same to d angels dat were under his authority and chose to follow him.
Christianity EtcRe: The Tower Of Babel by twosquare(m): 4:18pm On Dec 22, 2013
Actually God wanted Man to be like Him but not through the way satan paints for men to follow....coz the “becoming like God" satan offers is not becoming like God..... I can say it is becoming like satan himself. Satan wants men to be like him....which man won't b able to recover from(dis will eventually happen during the ‘sealing time'.

The two trees in the Garden of Eden offers the same thing:
1.You will not die
2.You will be like God

But one was actually lying(as we have fake,so do we have d original); Adam was tempted...for d tree of life doesn't vouch for itself.....but d tree of d Knowledge of Good and evil speak of greater things. God is like telling Adam....can you give up yourself to get me? God planted “Himself" in d Garden (He enshroud His wisdom and nature and put it in a tree)

Both tree speak of death....Yet d Tree of d Knowledge of Good and evil lied abt its own death: “u will not die".....but d death of d tree of life is not death actually.... is just dying to self.....
TV/Movies'Harry Potter' Play Coming to British Stage by twosquare(op):
There's some magic coming to a British
stage.

Author J.K. Rowling has announced she is
developing a play based on her "Harry Potter"
stories. According to her website, Rowling is
working in collaboration with award-winning
producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender on the project."

Over the years I have received countless
approaches about turning Harry Potter into a
theatrical production, but Sonia and Colin's vision was the only one that really made sense to me, and which had the sensitivity, intensity and intimacy I thought appropriate for bringing
Harry's story to the stage," Rowling said in a
statement.

"After a year in gestation it is exciting to see this project moving on to the next phase. I'd like to thank Warner Bros. for their continuing support in this project."
Warner Bros. is owned by CNN's parent company, Time Warner.

Rowling will reportedly be a producer of the play and work with a writer, but she will not be writing the play. The story will follow Potter in his early years as an orphan.Directors and writers for the play, which will go into development in 2014, are currently being considered.

CultureRe: Ooni Of Ife Warns Against Distortion Of Yoruba History by twosquare(m): 9:22pm On Dec 11, 2013
Like I said..None is superior to the other. In any society, at least two things must b in place: The Religious and the Political. Without which in ancient times no society can survive

Ife: the spiritual home of the Yorubas...these pple are the custodians of secrets and spiritual information of the Yorubas.. ..in other words Ife is the Religious institution

Oyo: the Political institution.... military might of the Yorubas which brought forth her glory via empire.

One can't do without the other.... No society not strong in Military in ancient times will survive...

Oranmiyan, first Oyo king,last of the seven grandson of Oduduwa,father of Okanbi....founded Oyo via the help of spiritual information....

Oyo derived from “ile n yo"(the ground is slippery)

Ife is seen as a sacred place...that will bring to your remembrance that it is a taboo for any king to beseige it.

Oyo is a powerful town..other towns pay taxes and homage to her....power/authority given to oyo frm Oranmiyan...Sango were later abused.

Oyo influence and prominence can't be put aside before the rebellion.. The days Of Alaafin Abiodun ,Alaafin Arogangan....and the rest...

Both played their role and importance in forging out the Yoruba history,glory and nobility.

Finito: None is superior to the other... Time and chance happens to Us all.

Satellite TV TechnologyNigerians Groan Under Multichoice’s pay Tv by twosquare(op):
Nigerians who subscribe to pay TV are now at
the receiving end. Most of the time, they say they pay for services that are not delivered. Severally,the management of pay TV companies has called press briefings and customers’ fora to address some of these biting issues concerning their operations, particularly, with off time lost signals by subscribers which lasts for days before signals are restored.

As of today, subscribers are at a loss as to who
pays for the lost days. Chikaodili Igwe, a United
Kingdom-based Nigerian who came back to the
country recently, was at a Multichoice agent
office, and said that rendering good services to
Nigerians was far from the official policy of the
company in the country. “You will lose the
chances of enjoying what you paid for while
Multi-Choice smiles to Johannesburg, South
Africa, with your cash,” he said. Yusuf Kale, who
said he has been a regular customer of DStv
since 2004 noted that at the initial stage, services of Multichoice to Nigerians were satisfactory, but that as time went on, it appeared to lose focus, “perhaps as patronage increased.”

He said like many of his friends, he has started
seeking other cheaper pay TV providers. He
explained that the only thing that still keeps him
with the company is the European League
matches, but confessed that he was prepared to start watching such games at viewing centres.
“I think DStv is forgetting it is now a competitive
market, although those other pay TV companies
are not as big but Nigerians are beginning to rate them to be more effective. They even have more entertaining programmes,” he stated.

Jide Makanjuola, another DStv subscriber, said the cost of subscribing to the company was
equivalent to financial suicide. Like Kale, he said Nigerians were becoming more enlightened and that most young users now prefer viewing sites to recharging their decoders. “It pays far better to
pay a peanut at the viewing centre and save your money. The man that owns the viewing centre will make his money but you that subscribe at home will lose in the end,” he said.
A subscriber who identified himself as Alhaji Bello queried the pay TV for being disconnected before the expiration date. Others also complained of similar problem but not taking into cognisance the fact that they did not enjoy the services as they should due to the fact that weather conditions and several other factors beyond their control, cut short the times they enjoyed their subscription.

Other affected subscribers are also complaining that they are cut off sometimes two to three days before the expiration date of subscription. “This is an action the company is not even apologetic about,” Simon Irete said. “What is annoying to many is that they are surcharged for late renewal
while lost time is not paid for by the service
provider.” A staff at Multichoice office said that the surcharge is as a result of a computer programme that the company has put in place

“For example, where a customer fails to pay
subscription fee on or before due date, it takes
DSTV hours, if not days, to come back to
transmission, but for StarTimes, it is immediate,
even after two weeks off air,” Mr. Obinna
Nwokennaya, a subscriber to both pay TV owners explained.
The activities of DSTV management bring to mind the story of MTN when they came into Nigeria.

They told Nigerians that per second billing was
not achievable until after about 10 years, but
when Glo launched the per second billing system, MTN had to adjust to per second billing, a feat they claimed was not achievable. Are these South African companies out to drain Nigerians?” Mrs.Uju Amanjo queried.
Amanjo said that DSTV increases tariff over time.

“Having launched pseudo promo few months ago,
they (DSTV) hit back with a new tariff regime for
premium subscribers.
For three years, I have been DSTV subscriber and premium subscriber. I have to delay my
subscription this month to show my anger. They have only added Telemundo and a few channels
that are not viewer-friendly.”

Despite having moved from W4 to W7 as
promised at a forum, subscribers still experience
poor picture quality during and after rainfall, and sometimes still pictures, even when customer’s subscription is still running. For the days wasted, who compensates and who extends the days lost? All these complaints DSTV management has not been able to address despite subscribers’ constant complaints at various customer fora,” she
said.

Ms. Juliana Nnamdi, who said her husband is a
yearly subscriber, said that the husband is in love with the DSTV brand, but is disappointed with the way he’s been treated by the brand, while pointing out that sometimes, he is cut off before the subscription expires.
She said that her husband is considering dropping the idea of the yearly subscription or rather look for an alternative. “We have not enjoyed anything from the DSTV brand since we have been subscribing to their platform. We hear about all manner of promotions and wonder how thebwinners emerge. The promos look like a ruse.”

The near monopolistic nature of the pay TV
market spearheaded by DSTV has been a thorn in the flesh of Nigerians, says Mr. Avuru Adunaka,who said that Nigerians are being milked everyvday and nothing is done.

A subscriber who does not want his name in print lost signal for two weeks, even though apologies were sent, he was not happy with the situation but queried whether Multichoice will make refunds for the weeks lost.

Accusing the Pay TV provider of insensitivity to
consumer complaints and unreasonable deduction from subscribers, Olu Olajuwon explained how he was migrated to a platform he did not subscribe for and yet was made to pay for the service.

When contacted on subscribers’ complaints
regarding the length of the scanning period of the DSTV decoder, Segun Fayose, Head, Public
Relations, Multichoice Nigeria, said that
subscribers have been advised severally to buy an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to support their decoder so that when there is power outage or fluctuation, the decoder will pick up immediately, “this is the only way subscribers will not lose important part of a programme.”

On scrambled pictures after or during rain, he
said that the problem is peculiar with the
technology used, but that the company is still
working on that.
Speaking about lost days, Fayose advised that
the best way to avoid this situation is for
subscribers to make payment before the
expiration date and that subscribers should put
on their decoder before making payment, as this is the only way not to lose viewership.
He said that some subscribers remove their
smartcard when they want to go and make
payment, an idea he frowned at.
He that said when payment is made, instead of
calling the customer care, the subscribers should send an SMS to a code, he advised.

Complaints trailed GOtv, also owned by
Multichoice. The complaints started pouring
some months after it was launched and before
Nigerians hardly enjoyed its services.
In defense of GOtv, the Public Relations Manager for GOtv, Efe Obioma, agreed that during the
mentioned days, the company had serious
challenge with transmission glitch, but said: “The loss of some channels in Lagos has been as a result of conflict in signal distribution which was caused by third party interference. We are urgently working on a technical solution to remedy this problem. Some GOtv channels are still available; however, it is dependent on where the subscribers are located.”
Exset, pioneers of TV ecosystems for emerging
markets, revealed that its unique digital broadcast ecosystem – Digital Monetization System -DMS,vwill provide the ideal solution to sub-Saharan Africa ‘s digital broadcasting growth among those who cannot afford premium subscription services.

While speaking at the Digital Broadcasting
Summit and Expo in Arusha, Tanzania hosted by the Southern African Broadcasting Association and BSP Media Group, Andrew Pons, Exset’s Director of Marketing, said the company will be exploring DMS and the multi-faceted benefits that it brings to emerging markets.

“Exset understands that pay-TV needs a new
monetisation model for emerging markets in order to succeed. That is why it created DMS, a unique business and technology model that makes pay-TV self-financing without spending exclusively on subscriber fees for revenue,” Pons said.

According to him, DMS bridges the gap between technology supply and value-added service creation, facilitating digital television platforms that can be monetised where previously virtually impossible.

He went on to say that this allows subscribers to benefit from new information and entertainment
services. “Partnering with Exset, monetised digital switchover will assist in bringing about social transformation”, he said. By deploying DMS, a very low subscription model of a few dollars a month can be charged for the digital television service, with additional operator income gained through selling the interactive TV space to governments (for health and education
information dissemination), magazines, local
service providers, teleshopping – the list goes on.

Rahul Nehra, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Exset, said, “There’s a combination of issues in
sub-Saharan Africa countries that have held up
the roll out of digital TV services to vast swathes of the population. The digital divide is therefore increasing with governments coming under pressure from a variety of international bodies to tackle this. The TV set is the ideal way to allow people to access new, exciting services at a cost they can afford via digital broadcast infrastructure that are practical to deploy.”
