Exclusive: Joseph Farah reveals possible reason Jewish state might be OK with transfer Aaron Klein The news broken by WND's Aaron Klein that Barack Obama has secretly presented a plan to Israel to forfeit authority over the Temple Mount, regarded as the holiest site in Judaism, to the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, has me wondering why the Jewish state hasn't just publicly dismissed the idea. Personally, I think it's crazy for Israel to concede any real estate to the Arabs – and that would go double for something as psychologically and spiritually significant as the Temple Mount. But there may indeed be more here than meets the eye – something of profound archaeological and spiritual significance. Check out some new findings about the "Temple Mount:" First the facts. Israel captured Old Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War in block-to-block fighting that was costly in terms of human lives and blood. It represented a huge morale boost for the tiny Jewish state. It also gave credence to the belief that the ancient Hebrew prophecies that Israel would be reborn after nearly 2,000 years of being scattered to the four winds and that Jerusalem would be a part of the revived Promised Land were being realized in the 20th century. Among those prophecies in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Amos, Micah, Zephaniah, Zechariah and Malachi were specific predictions that Jerusalem would be in the hands of the Jews – but greatly threatened by enemies – when Messiah came to rule. For 19 centuries, both Jews and Christians wondered how those prophecies could ever be fulfilled with Jerusalem and what had been the nation of Israel in the hands of gentiles. However, nearly as quickly as Israel recaptured Jerusalem in 1967, the politicians began negotiating to hand back the Temple Mount to Jordan. When Jordan refused to accept it, they gave administrative authority over the prize to Muslim clerics because two Islamic mosques rest atop what is called the Temple Mount, regarded by most Jews as the site of the first and second Temples. While Israel has maintained claims to the small piece of land, the Islamic Waqf has done its best to discourage Jews from visiting and praying there ever since. Like most of the world, until recently I was convinced the Temple Mount was indisputably the resting place of the Temple. Where else could it be? But some recent archaeological work adjacent to the Temple Mount suggests there may very well be a more likely site. You can get a quick overview of this astonishing theory in a new documentary called "Jerusalem and the Lost Temple of the Jews" by Ken Klein. It turns out the Temple Mount may not be the Temple Mount at all, but rather the foundation of the Roman fortress Antonia, which was actually used by Roman provincial soldiers to destroy the Temple – next door. The recent excavations at the City of David, in the very shadow of the Temple Mount, lend some authenticity to this idea. Could this be a factor in Israel's willingness to even consider giving up what is regarded as the holiest site to the world's Jews and of great significance to prophecy-minded Christians who believe it could well be the place from which a returned Jesus would reign and rule upon His return? I don't know the answer to that question. It's a possibility. Maybe Israel won't give the plan a second thought. But it is equally a possibility that Israel's politicians are simply worldly secular Jews who have no concern with such ethereal matters. Nevertheless, it bears close watching. Note the plan by Obama asks that Israel give up to the Arabs the Temple Mount real estate, while retaining control beneath the ancient platform. What's beneath the Temple Mount? The City of David – where there is increasing evidence David built his palace and Solomon his Temple.

For centuries students of the Bible, scholars and theologians studied in wonder at the images of the two beasts in the 13th chapter of Revelation. Countless attempts have been made to interpret each of these symbols as they relate to human history. Over the past several decades great light has been shed on the first beast, but the second beast is little talked about or understood. It has been a mystery and lurked in the shadow of the first beast for hundreds of years. What about this second beast? As the mounting pressure of terrorism drives the world to a climactic crescendo, two prominent Christian nations step forward to militarily, economically and politically take control for the sake of global peace. As the world faces off, is this merely the emergence of natural forces of history – or the surfacing of the second beast, the mysterious False Prophet? Read more here. LOST LEGEND OF THE GREAT PYRAMID - THE PILLAR OF ENOCH (DVD) From renowned producer Ken Klein, this is absolutely one of the best documentaries ever on the Great Pyramid! The DVD documentary makes the compelling case that the Giza Plateau pyramids were not built and utilized by fourth dynasty Egyptian kings as funerary structures or tombs. It is a matter of archaeological fact that none of the fourth dynasty kings put their names on the pyramids supposedly constructed in their times, yet all other pyramids of Egypt had hundreds of official inscriptions, leaving us no doubt about which kings built them. However, even those archaeologists who still stubbornly subscribe to the "tomb theory" of the pyramid do not believe that a queen or anyone else was ever buried in the limestone chamber. Mysterious legends and records tell of watermarks that were clearly visible on the limestone casing stones of the Great Pyramid suggesting that the Great Pyramid existed before the pharaohs during the great flood of Noah's time.

Behind closed doors scientists have breached the genetic codes that separate the individuality of animal and plant species. In the area of food production, new hybrid plant species have been scientifically engineered, with their derivative products commonly appearing on our supermarket shelves. But quietly, for two decades, scientists have taken the knowledge of genetic engineering to a frightening new level, merging animal DNA with human DNA, creating the potential and unthinkable reality of superhuman, nonhuman entities. These developments along with their looming and terrible consequences, held back from the public eye, are exposed in this important and sobering new documentary. "Trans-Humanism" blows the lid off a secretive area of technology where science may indeed be going too far. Watch it. Show it to your friends. Give it to your pastor.
