Yasser Arafat dead

I was fowarded this mail which originated from a couple in Israel named Ephraim and Ramona Frank, dealing with the death of Arafat and a possible cover-up by the French government regarding his death. I don't know that I agree with everything in the letter, but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

Shalom Friends,

This is just a short note about what is brewing here in Israel in
relationship to the Yasser Arafat "carnival". As you know, the Islamic
holy days of Ramadan and their aftermath (Id el F'ter) are not quite
over. Thus Arafat who died last week was being preserved in a
condition
which the French news media called coma, even though totally on life
support. This is only one of the reasons why the dictator was kept in
some semblance of existence; another was the negotiation with Israel as
to his burial. Arafat of course wanted to be enshrined on the Temple
Mount, while Sharon deemed Gaza to be a more suitable location for that
purpose. The PA was demanding East Jerusalem with the approval of Left
wing Knesset (Israeli parliament) members of the Opposition. The
compromise reached was the compound in Ramalla, where Arafat was
confined for the past three years. A PLO spokesman announced that this
location would suffice until Jerusalem is liberated and the Palestinian
State is formed, at which time the cadaver will be transferred to the
Temple Mount. The third reason that Arafat's meeting with his Maker
was
deferred, was the wrangling for leadership within the P.A. The PA
leadership also met with the leadership of Hamas and Jihad. This
impromptu unity was only for the purpose of demanding from Israel that
Arafat be buried in East Jerusalem. Don't kid yourselves; there is no
love between the PA (PLO) and the other militant branches! The only
reason that Arafat wielded power over all of these was because he held
the purse strings to billions of dollars, fractions of which were
divvied out at his discretion. However, now none of the leaders of the
PA have this available to them to help control and build a so-called
unified government. What you see in one part of the Arab world you
will
find in another - one strong leader, or family, who have the most
cunning and are the most intimidating, is essential to keep the system
thriving.

The Palestinian militant Islamic factions will not cooperate with those
who bow to Israel, to the U.S. or to any other western nation, as to do
so would be giving into the great Satan and will result in brutal
deaths. To kill or be killed is the lingua franca that unites that
world. Sadam Hussein was responsible for the murder of scores of
people
in order to gain the power and respect as a leader in Iraq. Arafat,
like his colleague and supporter, made his way into the power struggle
with the same terror tactics. The spiritual nature of the Arab world
originates from the ancient biblical bloodline of Ishmael, Lot, Esau,
Amalek, Amman, Moav etc. There was no love lost between them and
Israel, as they struggled for the Abrahamic inheritance and birthright.
The religious spirit that is behind Islam propels all of this. They
all
have one objective in common, as the Psalmist so discerningly pointed
out: "They have said, 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a
nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more'. For they
have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy
against You (Psa. 83:4-5).

If the so called moderates of the PA (PLO) capitulate to Judah/Israel,
or to Ephraim/Israel these other factions will continue to use
terrorism
as their rightful weapon against an occupier of Arab land (and that
doesn't mean just the West bank and Gaza), as the whole Land of Israel
once was ruled over by an Islamic nation and once Isalm's always
Islam's. They will not recognize any other solution or compromise.
Terrorism has been one of the most successful tools in their hands to
date. Only extreme military force will subdue them and then only for a
time, unless Islam is completely wiped off the pages of modern history.
The symbol of Islam is the sword, and so is the temperament of the
spirit behind it. But we must also remember that YHVH used those
nations in the past to judge Israel when the latter went too far into
adultery and idolatry (iniquity and sin).

The Arab world, along with most of the rest of the world, is now paying
homage to one of the most evil men who have yet to stand in the hall of
the infamous. He not only has innocent blood on his hands, but was
also
known to be a pedophiliac (lover of children), as well as a
homosexual. The French Government will not release the reasons for
his
death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not
take
an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the
weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered
from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This
is
the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only
one that someone would want kept secret. Why?

Paul, an Apostle of Messiah, points out a Torah principle in his letter
to the community in Rome: "Likewise also the men, leaving the natural
use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men
committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of
their error which was due" (Rom. 1:27).

The conflict now between the nation of Judah/Israel and her neighbors
is
poised to enter a new phase. The times of the fulfilling of YHVH's
latter day prophecies in regard to the whole House of Israel will
accelerate.

"Behold, the whirlwind of YHVH goes forth with fury, a continuing
whirlwind; it will fall violently on the head of the wicked. The
fierce
anger of YHVH will not return until He has done it, and until He has
performed the intents of His heart. In the latter days you will
consider
it" (Jer. 30:23-24)

These are times to have our lamps trimmed with the fresh oil of the
Spirit of Holiness.

Shabbat Shalom
