Bill Gates did a talk at TED last February about his theory that we can only reach zero emissions by reducing either our population, services, energy, or carbon output to zero. Personally I’m not a big fan of man made climate change however I’m all for using this planet in a more efficient way – so I was interested in what he had to say.

And what he shared stopped me dead in my tracks.  The above is his equation for carbon emissions and what contributes to it.  You can see that “people” is mentioned first – and that makes sense as the more people there are, the more emissions.

Because having people on this planet is a given, I thought Gates would spend most of his time on the other areas – and he did, but it’s what he said about people that shocked me.

“The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent”

Check out the video below…

That equates to up to a billion people less if they do a good job on “vaccines…reproductive health services….”  In other words, can this mean that they will create vaccines that will kill people and promote abortion that will lower the earths population by up to a billion people?

I don’t know, you tell me. What is true is that Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey Warren Buffet, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg met in early 2009 and on top of the agenda was population control.  This meeting come a few weeks after the Bilderberg Group met in Greece where population control was again on top of the agenda.

According to a former Bilderberg member, UK Economist Will Hutton, the ultimate goals of the Bilderbergers are plain and simple…

“The primary goals of the Bilderberg Group are a one-world government, a one-world monetary system and a vast reduction in world population. And to no one’s surprise, the Bilderbergers would like very much to be in charge of that government.”

For a long time, these discussions remained in the minds of pot smoking conspiracy theorists.  However, it’s actually the Bilderbergers and their henchmen who are now coming out of the closet and actually stating their goals in plain site.

And the mechanism that allows them to do so, and for their message to be accepted without question is the fear around climate change. Bill Gate’s presentation at TED’s is a classic example of their agenda marching forward and the scary thing is that the public swallows the pill without even batting an eyelid.

To be a supporter of Israel these days is to go against the norm.  This world seems to take delight in bashing this country to no end.

Despite this, I am here to say that I am a Biblical Zionist.  I believe in the right for Israel to exist and I believe in the right for the nation to defend itself against an enemy hell bent to destroy it.

Sure, not all they do is right as they are governed by fallen people like you and me.  And I’ve also heard of the so called “conspiracy theories” about the Jewish nation.

But all this is nothing new.  Even at it’s conception, was a conspiracy to get rid of a favoured son…

“They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him. They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits.  Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.” Gen Gen 37: 18-20

But later in the story, it is declared..

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Gen 50:20

The Zionist movement is seen with contempt by many.  And like Joseph’s brothers, many have contributed to the birth of modern Israel with ulterior motives and continue to do so. 

But through it all, is my good and great God, working out his purpose through the actions of mankind and allowing the nation of Israel to be reborn and to grow in strength and number.

You see, God is the ultimate Zionist and it is the desire of His heart to see the nation of Israel reborn and to gather it’s people back to it.  There are numerable Scriptural references to this and an example of which is..

“As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country.” Eze 34:12-13

Make no mistake, God is the ultimate Zionist and for any Muslim or Westerner to point his finger against the nation of Israel, is for him to stand opposed to the will of the Creator – somewhere I never want to find myself in.

I celebrate in the fact that God has caused this non Jewish heart of mine to be a Zionist and I delight in what He is building into this country.  Below is a video which gives but a glimpse of the reality of Israel despite it’s opposition.

And to further set myself against the trend of the western world, I present to you a music video by UK Jewish rapper “Antithesis” – who has recently made the aliyah to Israel – further proof that God is at work gathering His own.

I celebrate at what I see God is doing with His people.  And I look forward to stage two of His plan – the day He introduces them to His Son.  This is what I am looking forward to seeing once the regathered eyes are opened..

“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.” Zech 12":10

I’m not a Jew.  But I love the Jew.  I don’t live in Israel.  But I have been there.  And the pull on my heart the place has on me is something I just can’t explain.  I am simply a goy living in Australia, but I spend much of my day thinking about the significance of the Jewish state.

As a Christian, the rebirth of Israel is a huge event.  After the horrors of the Holocaust, this nation was reborn miraculously and spot on time according to the prophecies uttered about it millennia ago.

Ezekiel 37 is a well known passage of Scripture where God supernaturally transports Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones and makes him prophesy over them to come alive.  Many have connected this passage to the horror of the Holocaust and the rebirth of the nation of Israel.

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry.

And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones:

Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them.

But there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”  Eze 37:1-9 ESV

This passage is especially important given that the proceeding chapter, Ezekiel 36, talks about the rebirth of Israel.  So when Ezekiel carries out his prophetic mission, look out for the result…

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Eze 37:10 ESV

What I find astonishing is that a major reality of a reborn Israel is that it’s army will be “an exceedingly great army!”  Quite ironic given the fact that it was the Nazi war machine which almost destroyed it.  That, plus given the fact that Israel was to be surrounded by hostile nations wanting to “wipe them off the map.”

One could say that Israel was destined to have an “exceedingly great army” and in just over 60 years, Israel now ranks 11th in terms of simply weaponry.  But what it lacks in size, it makes up in expertise – shown time and time again in repelling the angry Arab nations surrounding it.

Dig a little deeper and you will find the real reason behind the strength of the IDF – God.  This is captured so beautifully in the following Scripture..

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?  Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?

For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?” says the LORD; “shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?” says your God.  Isa 66:8-9 ESV

To paraphrase, God is saying, “I’m going to birth the nation Of Israel very quickly.  And after I give it birth, I will protect it.”  The hate filled, surrounding Arab nations wanted to commit infanticide on Zion’s child – but the One who allowed Zion’s children to be reborn in Israel wasn’t about to let this happen.

In miraculously won wars over subsequent years, Zion’s children grew in strength and numbers.  But with wars and rumours of wars a very real reality in the land of Israel, one gets the impression that 11th ranked Israel is moving step by step closer to fulfilling it’s destiny of being an exceedingly great army.

Zion’s children are passionate about their land.  Zion’s children are a smart people.  Zion’s children have first class technology.  But most importantly, Zion’s children have a mandate from God to be in the land and have their God looking out for them for the sake of His name. 

And one day, when Zion’s children and their exceedingly great army will face an impossible in gathering of it’s enemies from many nations of the earth, Zion’s children will be rescued by God and Zion’s children will have their eyes open to the reality of Jesus.

Until that day, the IDF is growing.  And the following series of video’s captures this reality in an awesome way.

On September 20, 2000, The world was shocked to view the footage of a 12 year old boy hiding behind his father while caught in cross fire between Israeli and Palestinian forces.

Tragically, the boy, Muhammed al-Durrah and his father, Jamal al-Durrah, were killed and the footage spread like wild fire through out the western world thanks to footage taken by France 2 camera man Talal Abu Rahma.

In typical fashion, the world crucified Israel for it’s abuse and heavy use of fire power over the innocent Palestinian population.  And Muhammed al-Durrah quickly became the Intifada Icon.

However, what most people don’t realize is that there are many holes in this story and subsequent investigations reveal that the whole event was staged and exploited against the Israeli’s.  This is aptly covered by the following video and covered in the Wikipedia article on the incident.

This incident sparked the interest of Pierre Rehov – the pseudonym of a French filmmaker who happens to be Jewish.  Since this incident, he has produced a number of films on the Arab-Israeli conflict.  His YouTube account states, “Those clips are not politically correct. But the truth is rarely politically correct.”

In an age which is more than ready to condemn Israel and it’s hardline stance to protect itself, these documentaries are a must view in order to educate yourself to the realities this nation faces.

Below are some of his documentaries I have found online.  Please check out his website for more information.

I am often called “a pig faced Zionist scumbag” due to my high regard to the Jewish people and the land they live in.

Contrary to world opinion, I believe Israel has every right in the world to exist when and where it does as this is their God given right to do so.

Many will hate this – obviously from Arab/Muslim circles.  And many Christians hate this too as they focus on the plight of the so called “Palestinian” instead of reading the text of the Book that defines their faith.  If they did, they would realise that the reality of Israel on our planet is a fulfilment of prophecy uttered thousands of years ago.

Sure, the circumstances around it’s existence isn’t exactly “kosher” to the pacifist observer.  But then again, you point me to a Utopian reality anywhere on this earth, and you will win the argument.

When God called Abram and built the Hebrew nation from his descendants, it was so that the Messiah , Jesus Christ, would be born through the lineage of the Jew.  And His violent murder was the catalyst for salvation to come to the Gentile.

The Jew was dispersed – and eventually hunted down, humiliated and murdered in Europe during WWII.  Christians conveniently adopted “replacement theology”and heaped on themselves the blessings given specifically to the Jew.  And all hope seemed lost.

When the Prophet Ezekiel uttered the following words, could it be that he was spiritually whisked ahead in time and observed the horror of the holocaust of WWII?

Mankind had a plan for the Jew – but this was in contradiction to God’s plan.  And in the aftermath of WWII, Ezekiel was watching and uttered the following..

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.

And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me,  “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and l cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them.

But there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.

’Therefore  prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.

And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord.” Eze 37:1-14

And so that is why I am so proud to be called a pig faced Zionist scumbag.  I’d rather be on God’s side then that of man any day – no matter what it makes me look like. 

I will always hold my Jewish brothers and sisters in high regard because God isn’t done with them yet. And once again, they face a enemy eager to wipe them off the face of the earth in the form of radical Islam.

I urge you to watch the following video and remember “The Forgotten People” – and pray.  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
