Fierce fighting in Lebanon as peace talks start By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent 8 minutes ago 07-26-06 BEIRUT (Reuters) - Fierce fighting raged in Lebanon on Wednesday as an international conference opened in Rome on how to end Israel's 15-day-old war with Hizbollah guerrillas. Al Jazeera television said 13 Israeli soldiers had been killed during clashes with Hizbollah guerrillas in a south Lebanese village. Israeli medics reported heavy casualties. Hizbollah sources said their fighters had foiled Israeli attempts to evacuate casualties from Bint Jbeil, four km (2.5 miles) inside Lebanon. "Our men can hear the screams of their wounded calling for help," one source said. If confirmed, the death toll would be the heaviest suffered by Israel's army since it launched an offensive against Hizbollah two weeks ago. Thirteen Israeli soldiers were killed in an ambush in a refugee camp in the West Bank in April 2002. The battles occurred as foreign ministers, including U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, met in Rome to discuss how to end the war and bring humanitarian aid to Lebanon. news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&u=/nm/20060726/ts_nm/mideast_dc_551*** Gonna show my country bumpkin ignorance again, but I was wondering if you can have valid peace talks without the major combatants present and if they don't desire to stop fighting? Have several other questions too...

Thanks for the news articles SF. They were interesting. There are lots of different signs occuring to many of us today. Lord said the last days would be as the days of Noah and of Lot. We know the prophecies from the Bible but modern man is not as aware and if they are, they scoff. Lord told us they were coming too, the scoffers in the last days.
People laughed at a crazy old man, building a boat on dry land, saying God was going to destroy the world...they had 120 or so years to repent and turn to the Lord of Salvation. We have had 2000 years or so...it is no different than in Noah's day or the days of Lot.
I join King David in his ancient prayer. It is a prayer for war. An imprecatory prayer...but I pray it for the whole world. Harsh as it may sound to the post modern world, I pray for the Lord to come.
"Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God."
I don't apologize for that prayer. I might be able to hide my true hearts prayer from people. But I can't hide it from the Almighty so I might as well pray it out loud. I pray the Lord will bring His wrath on those people who hate Him that they might come to know He is God.
Amen.

You're not alone in your feelings Duck, the human nature side of me wants to "stick it in their face". This is a time that we stand in awe of the love of God. To consider the fact the Jesus died for even the likes of Hizbollah is beyond my comprehension. But I know it's true.
After reading those words in Ps: 83 I found myself going to John 14:1 and re-affirming the Lords promise that he has gone to prepare a place for us and that He would return so that we might be with Him.
We are all aware of the chaos that is going on before our eyes, but I encourage us all to recall the words of a beautiful hymn: "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will go strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."
Thank you Lord for your light in this ever darkening world.

Thank you Lord for your light in this ever darkening world. My brother---once again, it is obvious how much you love our Lord! It is such a strange amount of feelings, thoughts, and emotions that swirl through my head as well during this time. Part of me is so wanting Israel to demolish their enemies. Part of me feels sorry for each individual that will die during this "fight" if they don't know Jesus. Part of me is excited, looking up, selfishly wanting to go "home." And part of me is just speechless because things are happening so fast, it is hard to keep up.

Fox News He's changed his story (big surprise). Now he's saying a solution is imminent, not a release. Give him 20 minutes, he'll change his story again.

Give him 20 minutes, he'll change his story again. I was wrong--it took five minutes. The militant wing* of Hammas denies there is anything in the works to release the kidnap victim. *Isn't that redundant? Which wing is not militant?

The following are words from the Irianian president:
Ahmadinejad: Israel pushed self-destruct button in Lebanon By Associated Press July 28, 2006 Israel has ordained its own destruction by invading Lebanon, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday, according to the state news agency.
Addressing the clerical staff of the Friday prayer sermons in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said Israel and its supporters "should know that they cannot end the business that they have begun."
I wonder if he knows that the God of Israel can, and will, put an end to this in His own time.

The building hit by Israeli air strikes in the town of Qana didn't collapse until eight hours[/i][/u] after it was hit. Hmmm..... From Ynetnews.com, a division of Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Tel Aviv.

Is anyone familiar with following? It's from an article on one of the Christian web sites dealing with Israel, etc.
"This Wednesday, August 3, at sundown, many in Israel will fast during what is noted as the darkest day on the Hebrew calendar. Tisha b' Av. (The 9th day of the month of "Av"). The 9th of Av is a tremendously sobering day in the Jewish collective mind".

Hi Bob, Yes, Tisha B'Av is called "the saddest day on the Hebrew calendar". Read all about what's happened on that day in Israel's history at The Orthodox Union web site...

Islamic Movement: Prevent Jewish groups from visiting Temple Mount on Thursday By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent The Islamic Movement warned Wednesday against the possibility that Jewish groups would try to reach the Temple Mount on Thursday (The Ninth of Av) and damage the Al Aqsa Mosque.
The group's warning follows a Supreme Court decision made earlier this week, ordering police to allow whoever wants to visit the Temple Mount during regular visiting hours on the Ninth of Av.
Two MKs from the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsur (Ra'am-Ta'al) and Sheikh Abbas Zkoor (Ra'am-Ta'al) sent an urgent letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, requesting that the government prevent members of the Temple Mount Faithful from reaching the area outside the Al Aqsa Mosque. "Extremist Jewish groups may damage the Al Aqsa Mosque. If this were to happen, heaven forbid, it would inflame the region," the MKs wrote.
The Islamic Movement's Northern Branch also warned of what could take place Thursday in the vicinity of the Temple Mount. The head of the movement, Sheikh Raed Selah, said in a radio interview that the Supreme Court does not have the authority to rule on the matter.
According to Selah, "The Supreme Court isn't worthy of deciding on matters pertaining to the Al Aqsa Mosque, because Israel does not have sovereignty over it. Selah called on Islamic Movement supporters to reach the Al Aqsa Mosque on Thursday. This article was copied from the following website: www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/745740.html
