The “holy corpse” east of Jerusalem

The remains of an Orthodox priest named “St. John” is adored and venerated in the monastery of St. George in Wadi Qelt between Jerusalem and Jerico.

Both the head skin and hair of this “saint” in kept for public veneration in the desert east of Jerusalem

It would be grave injustice towards Roman Catholics, to claim that only they adore and venerates skull, corpses and bones.  In fact the various Orthodox Churches do the same.

In the example of “St.John” located in a cave in the desert between Jerusalem and Jerico, it must also be added that the Roman Catholics at least cleanse their skulls, before putting them up for public display and worship-services.

Here are some few more pictures:

The place of worship is full of images and a corpse.
The shoes might not be of the latest fashion.  The ancient pagan Assyrian sun wheel is displayed just in front of his toes.
Of course, this is not consulting the spirit of the dead. Just a little bit kissing and touching of the glass mounter.

A few hundred years ago, Roman Catholic priests boiled exhumed corpses in lye to get the rotten and dead meat separated from the skeleton. What the priests did with all the boiled meat has been deleted from official Church history. But there are examples of the boiled meat being re-buried, and the skeleton of the “saint” cut into pieces and sold as relics.

It is great that many bloggers use Social Media to display what have been hidden in darkness for hundreds of years, believing they are writing about something “holy”. In this example from the monastery of St. George, the corpse is venerated as it looked when it was exhumed in 1960. Obviously pretty rotten, and absolutely not a venerable item for minor children.

Let us as adults take a deeper look at the official story, and some pictures.

  In this cave – carved into the steep cliffs of the mountain, St. John spent his days in prayer and fasting, sleeping very little on a mat laid on a wooden board and eating little dry food. In this poor and lowly surrounding, St. John prayed for eight years, enduring cold, hunger, thirst, heat, diseases, deprivations and temptations of all kinds.

 His holy body was placed in a tomb where he had prepared ahead of time. At his death, multitudes of birds had miraculously gathered at the monastery of St. George during the memorial service.

 For twenty years, St. John’ body rested in the tomb of Saint Ann‘ Cave. In August 1980, by divine providence when his grave was opened, his body was found whole, incorrupt and fragrant. His relics were translated in great procession into St. George Monastery chapel and placed in a glass casket.

If you ever enter into the desert, you will find the corpse inside this caved landscape east of Jerusalem.
The Orthodox priests have built a monastery where people normally do not live.
The “holy corpse” of St. John of Hozava born in Romania. He died in 1960.

Even though the corpse have not been convincingly beautified, the Romanian Orthodox Church canonized the remains in 1992.

 For his holy life, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church at its meeting in June 20th 1992, proclaimed the canonization of Blessed John among the saints under the name “St. John the New,” “St. John Jacob from Neamt” or “the Hotzebite”, his commemoration takes place on August 5/18 each year.

I am not sure “Orthodox Christians” pay any attention to the Bible, but rather live in lawlessness authorized by their priests and bishops. Jesus has the following message to all who consider this kind of tasteless religious sites for “places of holiness”.

 Matthew 23:27
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.

Egypt let Hamas use the Sinai

By establishing facilities in Egypt, group aims to protect its assets as it believes Israel won’t strike targets inside Egypt.

If Egypt permits the Hamas to use the Sinai to attack Israel, a new war seems looming.

Hamas has established forward bases and rocket production facilities in the Sinai Peninsula in an effort to protect them from Israeli air strikes, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

By establishing the facilities in Egypt, Hamas aims to protect its assets since it believes Israel will not strike targets inside Egypt due to the affect it would have on bilateral relations.

Israel has called on Cairo to increase its efforts to restore order in Sinai and to prevent attacks, but the Egyptian military has held back from dismantling the Hamas infrastructure in the peninsula.

My comment:

The Egyptians might have forgotten, that the Israel army crossed the Suez Canal in 1967 and 1973.

 Zechariah 14:12
This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

If there had been no pressure from the United States, the IDF could have rounded up all the war criminals in Cairo.

Egyptian soldiers find mercy at the hand of the Israeli army in 1967.
Many egytioan soldiers paid the ultimate price in the Sinai desert for the foolishness of their leaders.

Egypt should not take Israeli restraint as a sign of weakness. If the Egyptian let Islamic terrorists operate in the Sinai, Israel has the right to claim that the Camp David peace agreement has been broken. In regards to International Law, Israel will have the right to enter the Sinai desert, and remove whatever hostile forces that operates from there.

The Arabs seems to never learn from their past failures.  God of the Bible is capable of finishing off the enemies of mankind and the truth.

A new buffer zone in Sinai might be needed, to teach the Egyptian yet another lesson.

Netanyahu: Remove the Egyptian tanks from Sinai

Israeli Prime Minister benjamin Netanyahu is demanding that Cairo removes tanks from the Sinai immediately.

Benjamin Netanyahu must not give the Fascists who rule in Egypt an inch.

After Egypt introduced tanks into northern Sinai as part of its campaign against Islamic terrorists there, the Israeli prime minister’s office sent a sharp message to Cairo, via the White House, requesting that Egypt withdraw its tanks immediately.

Israel further requested that Egypt cease sending additional military forces into Sinai without prior coordination with Israel, viewing this as a serious violation of the peace treaty between the two countries.

The involvement of the Americans became necessary after the close coordination between the defense establishments of the two countries was damaged by recent events in Egypt.

Israel is concerned that the Egyptians will take advantage of the current situation to increase their armored forces in Sinai for an unlimited period, and thereby bring about a serious change in the terms of the peace treaty.

My comment:

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to have been able to smell the rat.

Two weeks ago, there was a so-called “Islamic suicide attackers” on Israel. But basically 16 Egyptian security guards were killed, and not even a single Israeli wounded.

The fascists in the Muslim Brotherhood were in need for an excuse to remove the secular military leadership in Egypt, and replace them with proper Islamic generals.

The attack on Israel was plotted to gain political momentum in Egypt, behind a public demand to re-militarize the Sinai.

Since Israel also was the “target” for this mission, Egypt hoped that Jerusalem would buy the official story.

Netanyahu knows the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. If Egypt do not immediately removes the tanks from the Sinai, Israel must remove them.

There is no need to excuse the Muslim Brotherhood. It would be like the excuses of Nazi Germany, rebuilding the German forces to yet another World War.

 Luke 21:23
How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

Please stand up for Israel and the IDF.

Stand with the Jewish people in their time of trouble.

Stand till the day of the return of the Messiah in the clouds of Heaven.

Muslim brothers wants to re-militarize the Sinai

The Islamic Egyptian Minster of Defense are planning to step up military operations against “terrorists” in the Sinai.

President Mursi and his defense minister could not have made it into the chair of Mubarak without the help of Obama.

Plans to step up operation against terror infrastructure near Egypt-Israel border being finalized by Morsy’s newly-appointed Defense Minister al-Sisi, sources say.

Egypt is preparing to use aircraft and tanks in Sinai for the first time since the 1973 war with Israel in its offensive against terrorists in the border area, security sources said on Monday.

The plans to step up the operation were being finalized by Egypt’s newly appointed Defense Minister General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as he made his first visit to Sinai on Monday following the killing of 16 border guards on Aug.5.

Israeli officials, who say they are in regular contact with Cairo, have encouraged Egypt to take tough action against the gunmen responsible for the assault and have previously allowed the use of helicopters in the operation.

My comment:

They never thought they made it to the chair of Hosni Mubarak.

But backed by Barack Hussein Obama the Fascists in the Muslim Brotherhood took over the Presidents office in Cairo.

Israel can obviously not control who will be ruling in Cairo. But Jerusalem can at least refuse to accept that the fascists remilitarize the Sinai desert.

I have earlier warned my Jewish brethren: The Islamic provocation at the borders between Israel and Sinai, is just a bid to fool the Jewish people.  The Muslim Brotherhood might even be the master planner behind the provocation. And claiming they will fight “terrorism”, the brotherhood will get their armed men back to the borders of Israel.

 Exodus 15:3
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.

Like in the past, God of Israel and His Messiah have won all the wars for Israel since 1948.  The Arabs have been badly defeated.

Israel should not have returned the Sinai, and would never have done so in 1979 without the US guarantee that Sinai would remind a demilitarized zone.

The truth is that only Israeli military control over the Sinai has brought peace to this disputed area. Not a single time in modern history, has “demilitarized zones” led to anything but fresh hostility after a brief lull.
