Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came to her to have their disputes decided.
Luke 8:1-3
The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
Ten years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Christians have dwindled from more than a million to as little as 200,000.
Tony Blair and George W. Bush sealed the death sentences for thousands of Christians In Iraq.

As the last remaining Christian priest in the Baghdad suburb of Doura, Archdeacon Temathius Esha no longer just puts his trust in God’s all-seeing eye. Built into the wall of his vestry, amid pictures of Catholic saints, is a 16-screen CCTV monitor, keeping watch on every corner of his church in case of possible attack.
Along with the armed guard outside and concrete anti-blast walls, it makes St Shmoni’s feel more like a fortress than a house of worship. And after a decade in which Doura’s Iraqi Christian community has been robbed, kidnapped and murdered by Islamist extremists, it finds itself offering sanctuary to an ever-dwindling flock.
“Doura was once one of the biggest Christian communities in Iraq, with 30,000 families,” said Mr Esha, as he prepared for an afternoon congregation that barely filled two of the 22 rows of pews.
“Now there are only 2,000 left. They feel they are strangers in their own land, and that makes them want to leave. The bleeding from migration is continuous.”
Tony Blair and George W. Bush’s attack on Iraq was a gift to the Islamic republic of Iran. By removing the secular dictator Saddam Hussein, the Jihad forces would eventually become able to take over this nation.
Washington would obviously not be able to pay salary to US servicemen in Bagdad forever. And after the US Marin’s are gone, Islamic Jihad would be able to lay the foundation for another onslaught on Christians in Persia and the Middle East.
This is the painful truth. Saddam Hussein was an dictator. But the the rule of Middle age Islam is not a single day better. Koran based Islam is a horrible curse on the nations who have submitted to this kind of rule. 800.000 Christians have now paid the consequence of the foolishness of two liars, Tony Blair and George W. Bush.
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water.
John 7:38-39
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.
You might be surprised. But the Pope is buried, with his death certificate and important papers with him.
The Pope and his burial rites, are like of the Pharaos in Egypt.
For what do the Pope need his death certificate with him down in the grave?
Do God need to read the Pope’s papers, before He is judged for all the sins he has blessed and declared “Holy”?
Do this certificate not return to dust, just like the Popes body?
What a pagan practice, what a shame to call this kind of paganism for “Christianity”.
The coffins of the Paraos’s in Egypt, was filled with what the Pagan gods required for the afterlife.
There is no difference between the Vatican and the ancient pagan burial rituals in Egypt. The Pharao’s took with them inside their tombs, what they felt they would need in their afterlife.
Jesus rebuked such paganism. He said: Let the dead go and bury their own dead.
