Russian-Turkish air dogfight over North Syria narrowly avoided - Erdogan defies Putin……….
August 21, 2019
As the Syrian army advanced against Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham rebel forces in the key southern Idlib town of Khan Sheikhoun, Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters on Tuesday, August 20 flew over the battle scene, causing Russian Su-35 fighters at the Khmeimim air base near Latakia to scramble in response.
They warned the Turkish pilots to withdraw or else be shot down.
Military sources report that the Russians accompanied their ultimatum by positioning the S-300 and S-400 air defence batteries deployed at the base at the ready. A short time later, when the Turkish air crews saw the Russian Su-35s flying alongside, they turned tail and left Syrian air space.
Western military sources tracking the fighting in Idlib believe that, although the Turkish pilots were told to break contact with their Russian pursuers on Tuesday, they may try again if the rebel force supported by Ankara falls back under the Russian-backed Syrian government offensive.
The danger of a direct Turkish-Russian air engagement is therefore likely to recur.
The last Turkish-Syrian aerial showdown occurred four years ago when, on November 25, 2015, a Turkish F-16 fighter downed a Russian Su-24M strike plane over northern Syria.
The crisis in Russian-Turkish relations lasted for several months. Our sources stress that Turkish President Recep Erdogan is evidently determined at all costs to thwart the Syrian-Russian drive in Idlib, so much so that he is willing to take on President Vladimir Putin in head-on operations to achieve his ends.
A colonel from a Syrian rebel faction confirmed that fighters from a Turkish-backed rebel force have joined the defence of Khan Sheikhoun.
Our sources identify this force as a Turkman militia which fights under Turkish officers.
According to earlier reports, a Syrian government air strike failed to stop a Turkish convoy heading to the northern Syrian town of Morek.
The convoy is reported to have included about 50 armoured vehicles, at least five of which were tanks.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Now Claims that they are the Biblical Canaanites.
21 August 2019
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is now claiming that his people are historically at home in Israel, and are the descendants of the biblical Canaanites.
In the article below you will read about why these claims he is making are 'problematic', but the 'scholars' all come to the wrong conclusion as to why such claims are in need of clarification.
Zechariah tells them what their Fate shall be;
"In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts."Zechariah 14:20,21 (KJV)
The Canaanites going all the way back to the book of Joshua have been the enemy of Israel, so if Abbas claims they are actually Canaanites, certainly the fact that the two groups remain enemies today puts us on a solid footing.
But the prophet Zechariah shows us that, when King Jesus appears at the Second Coming and establishes His Kingdom in Israel, the Canaanites will be forcibly removed from the land and driven out.
That means that the Canaanites need to still exist as an identifiable people group in the end times, they can't be driven out if they don't exist, right?
And according to the words of Mahmoud Abbas himself, now they do! This is called being 'hoist on your own petard'.
“We are the Canaanites,” he said, according to a report from Asharq Al-Awsat.
FROM World Net Daily: “We will remain in our homeland, and the outsiders on this land have no rights in this country”.
“The land is for its inhabitants, this land is for the Canaanites who were here 5,000 years ago, and we are the Canaanites.”
However, that claim proves to be somewhat problematic, according to an analysis from Breaking Israel News.[BIN]
The publication quoted Mordechai Kedar, a senior lecturer in the Department of Arabic at Bar-Ilan University, who said all Arab peoples first arrived in the land of Judea with the Muslim invasion from the Arab Peninsula in A.D. 637.
“This includes the [so-called] Palestinians who are proudly Arab,” he said. He accused the “Palestinians” of creating “an entirely new version of history.”
“Imagine a Bedouin tribe whose water has dried up,” he said, “They move at night to a place where there are trees and water”.
“They settle in and pitch their tents. In the morning, when the residents show up and ask what they are doing there, the Bedouins answer that they have lived there for thousands of years and they are indigenous.”
Rabbi Yosef Dayan, a member of the Sanhedrin and a descendant of King David, reacted to Abbas’ claim with humour.
The rabbi related that the last time Prime Minister Netanyahu met with Abbas, he told him that he was willing to make concessions but first, he wanted to settle an old and outstanding debt between the Palestinians and the Jews.
‘When Moses came down from Sinai, a Palestinian stole the stone tablets. We want them back. They are precious artefacts worth millions of dollars.’ ‘No,’ Abbas retorted. ‘We don’t have them and we don’t keep those laws. We weren’t there.’
‘Exactly,’ Netanyahu countered. ‘Now let’s talk about whose land it really is.'” Not only is the Palestinian claim to be descended from Canaan inconsistent with the history and archaeological evidence but it is also problematic from the Jewish side.
If we accept Abbas’ claims, the Torah requires the Jews to annihilate the Canaanites that live inside Israel.
Dayan said, however, the Palestinians are safe, since they are not Canaanites. “Abbas claim would be no less problematic to Christians in light of the Palestinian claim that Jesus was a Palestinian,” BIN reported.
“This would necessarily mean that Jesus was a Canaanite which contradicts explicit references to Jesus’ Judean origins in the New Testament,” the report explained.
Further, “Abbas’ claim also contradicts scientific findings. A 2017 study sequenced the Canaanite genome from the remains of five individuals buried around 3,700 years ago in the ancient port city of Sidon, Lebanon”.
“The results were compared against the DNA of 99 modern-day Lebanese residents. The study determined that more than 90 percent of the genetic ancestry of modern Lebanese is derived from ancient Canaanites.”
The report explained: “In historical reality, the Philistines were a biblical people of Greek origin who settled on ancient Israel’s coastal plain around the 12th century BCE.
“Approximately 600 years later, both the Philistine and Israelite nations were exiled by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, the Philistines in 604 BC and the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC”.
The Philistine nation and identity were subsumed into the conquering Greek culture and the Philistines disappeared as a people soon afterward.
APOSTASY ALERT;
BBC’s ‘Songs of Praise’ Decried After Featuring Same-Sex Ceremony in Program……..
August 20, 2019
The BBC’s “Songs of Praise” television program has alienated its viewers after it featured a same-sex “wedding” in this week’s program.
Jamie Wallace and Ian McDowell [pictured above] married at Rutherglen United Reformed Church near Glasgow – one of the few denominations to have accepted the redefinition of marriage.
While presenter Kate Bottley described the URC decision as “momentous,” viewers were disappointed by the one-sided presentation of same-sex marriage on a Christian program.
The couple were able to speak without challenge on the program, with Mr.Wallace justifying his stance by saying, “Jesus preaches about love and inclusion, kindness, compassion.”
Gay Anglican Speaks of “Gagging Policy” on ABC TV Program….

“My challenge to the Sydney diocese would be, "Will you listen to us? Will you hear our voices?”
Said Joel Hollier [pictured above] as a gay Anglican, on Australian Broadcasting Corp's TV Program “The Drum” discussing the Religious Freedom legislation currently being debated in federal parliament.
Says that he understands the churches right to religious freedom, but is concerned the proposal is a “gagging policy”
Watch As Parents Boo Christian Street Preacher Dorre Love As He Confronts The Pedophiles At Drag Queen Story Hour ……..
21 August 2019
Parents Booed him as he stands up for the children….
Two of the adult women present asked him and his supporters to leave. One threatened to call the police. Undaunted, Love continued to preach. “Believe in Jesus, kids,” said the preacher. “Don’t believe in LGBT. Kids, if you don’t want to go to hell, believe in Jesus Christ.
Love and his supporters were followed outside by various parents, who continued to photograph or film them. The entire altercation lasted about 13 minutes.
You will see in the video as he firmly but respectfully confronts the paedophiles in dresses at the Drag Queen Story Hour meeting.
It will break your heart as you watch him standing up to protect the little children that were present, while their parents booed him.
Who ever thought we would live to see the day where paedophiles are reading stories about drag queens to little kids, and the parents are getting mad when a preacher tries to stop it?
You better buckle up, because it is going to get much worse than this. Today street preacher Dorre Love is booed by the parents of the children he tried to protect.
Tomorrow he will be executed for ‘crimes against the state’, and the Bible will provide the evidence that will convict him.
Pope Francis on Thursday Blasphemously Declared that Mary is the ‘Gate Of Heaven’.
21 August 2019
“Let us look on high,” he said, where Mary awaits. “She loves us, she smiles at us and she comes to our aid with haste.”
Just when we think that Pope Francis cannot possible double-down any further on his blasphemous worship of Mary, he goes and shows just how serious he is about idol worship.
During the Roman Catholic Feast of the Assumption on Thursday, he confidently declared that the door, or the gate, for access into Heaven is not Jesus Christ, but Mary.
You will not find one verse in the entire Bible that tells you that Mary is the pathway to anything.
You will also not find a single verse in the Bible that says Mary was "assumed up into Heaven" either, why? Because she did no such thing.
"And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in Godmy Saviour." Luke 1:46,47 (KJV)
“Mary’s assumption into heaven calls people to put aside all those insignificant, mundane and petty concerns competing for their attention and instead be drawn to God and his greatness”, Pope Francis said.
“Mary, who is a human creature, one of us, reaches eternity in body and soul”, said Pope Francis. “This is why we invoke her as the “Gate of Heaven. There she awaits us, just as a mother waits for her children to come home”.
The Pope said we are like pilgrims on our way home to Heaven. Seeing that “in paradise, together with Christ, the New Adam, there is also her, Mary, the new Eve, gives us comfort and hope in our pilgrimage down here”.
“Prayers made with faith are powerful. Let us keep praying for peace in the Middle East and the whole world,” said the pope, who explained that Aid to the Church in Need spearheaded the initiative to send some 6,000 rosaries to Roman Catholic communities in Syria.
“Let us look on high,” he said, where Mary awaits. “She loves us, she smiles at us and she comes to our aid with haste.”
The Standards of God's Coming Judgement.
Joseph Chambers Paw Creek.Org. [Excerpted]
21 August 2019
God never acts maliciously. He is not vindictive, neither does He act to get even or to pay back those that disobey His commands. His actions of judgement are rooted in His holy character and are redemptive towards His world and His kingdom.
He judges to cleanse and protect instead of judging to vindicate. Often ungodly men have accused our God of vengeance and maliciousness, but He is not guilty. His world, which is also our world, would disintegrate into a filthy quagmire were it not for His actions of judgement. He judges sin to return civility to His and our world.
His action is determined by the "cup of sin" when it is filled to an unbearable level. He always allows sin to fill its own cup and when the cup is full, He searches among the guilty to be certain that the righteous is not unduly judged with the wicked.
His acts are always that of a loving Father, who acts perfectly and justly. The judgement that is about to engulf this world is awesome.
God cannot be blasphemed but for long enough to fill His cup of wrath. Our Father is patient but just so the two great expressions of His character must meet together. Believe me, the time is near when this world will tremble. I have never seen a World condition so clearly on the brink.
One miscalculation could send the Middle East into an all out slaughter. The Russians have become belligerent and aggressive. The Muslim World sees all of the upheaval as an opportune time to pursue their One World Kingdom.
The Sovereign God, Whom we love and serve, will not forsake the righteous and Godly citizens in this, and other nations.
If we are courageous enough to make a stand, He is faithful to defend our Biblical position. There is a point in every culture, civilisation, or age when the cup of God's indignation is full. When that happens, and only He knows the time, the wrath of God will be manifest.
The Bible says that when men or women are reproved and reproved and reproved and only become hardened, then sudden judgement is inescapable. The earth is running down. Sin has left a scourge over this planet. The blood of millions of babies' cries from the ground, and God is listening. Do not forget it, God is listening.
What is happening in the Middle East is perfect Biblical fulfilment. The whole balance of nations is on a Biblical timetable, which is impossible to ignore. Nothing sets the clock on the wall of time more clearly than what is happening in the Middle East.
That clock is on a race to midnight.
When this earth is reeling and rocking by the hands of judgement, there will be no atheists. They won't pray to the moon god or Allah or Krishna. The wickedest of men will cry out to the eternal God revealed to the Jews through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son.
The world is about to tremble. Judgement hangs in the balance and the next wicked event could tip the scales. Anyone can escape today by repenting. The moment you turn from sin to the cleansing power of His shed blood, you will escape the coming holocaust of unspeakable sorrows.
Our God never rejoices in the sorrows of judgement. He is a Heavenly Father with great mercy and patience toward sinners, but holy and pure and cannot allow sin to continue. "...Prepare to meet thy God..." (Amos 4:12).
