News Alert - July 28 - Muslim scholars calls for 'global uprising' against Israel
Article: Israel And The Last Days
Comment from Understand The Times
The following article outlines the
critical situation that has developed in the Mid East. The scenario outlined in
Ezekiel 38 is now set for an attack on Israel characterized by a nuclear
holocaust. We are in the last to the last days.
A prestigious group of Muslim scholars
on Sunday called for staging what it called a "global uprising" in support of
the Gaza Strip, which has been reeling under a wide-scale Israeli offensive for
three weeks now.
"The free world should quickly act to
end the Zionist aggression on Gaza and uphold the rights of the Palestinian
people," it added in a statement.
The International Union of Muslim
Scholars said in its statement that Arab and Islamic states have to take steps
at the international level to put pressure on Israel to halt its assault on
Gaza.

July 28 - Pope Greets Evangelicals as Brothers
Article: Ecumenical Movement Protestants Uniting With Roman Catholics
Pope Francis made a private visit to Caserta on Monday, his second trip to
the southern Italian city in three days. The purpose of this visit was to meet
an old friend from Buenos Aires, pastor Giovanni Traettino, and greet
evangelicals and members of the community Traettino founded, the Pentecostal
Church of the Reconciliation. After arrival by helicopter soon after 10am and
greeting Traettino and his family, Pope Francis
was welcomed by nearly 350 Pentecostals, who had traveled to Caserta from around
Italy, as well as from the United States and South America.
According to La Stampa, he acknowledged that
"some people are surprised that the Pope has come to find evangelicals." But for
him, he said, "I came to find brothers."
He continued: "It is a temptation to say, 'I am
the Church'; you are a sect. Jesus prayed for unity. The Holy Spirit brings
diversity to the Church. He makes diversity. But the same Holy Spirit brings
unity, and the Church is one in its diversity - a diversity reconciled by the
Holy Spirit."

Al Qaeda, nation states, and criminals
are preparing for major cyber attacks against
U.S. infrastructure that could be comparable to the devastating September 11
attacks on New York and Washington, a senior Justice Department official said on
Thursday.
Pope Francis' upcoming encounter with the
evangelical Christian pastor Giovanni Traettino continues the path of dialogue
he has walked with evangelical denominations since his time in Buenos Aires.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting
companies to provide new technology
that would allow the US Department of Defense to predict future
"societal unrest" by keeping track of "all human activities that can be
measured."
This weekend, shortly before today's centenary of the beginning of World
War I, an English bishop has said that
the Marian shrine of Lourdes remains "undimmed" and still invites
everyone to see the "light of the Gospel," Jesus Christ.
Iranian spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
called on Tuesday to the Muslim world to rise
above the current political and religious conflicts in order to
demonstrate a united front, in support of the "Palestinian" war against
Israel.
Inside the Science & Technology Directorate (DHS S & T) at the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
a little known group called The Human Factors and Behavioral Sciences
Division (HFD). Their purpose is to applied social and behavioral
sciences "to improve detection, analysis and understanding of homeland
security threats." 
But Francis stresses more directly than
they did that human solidarity is a necessary dimension of human
dignity. We need both. Human dignity requires not just the protection of
individuals, as in our pro-life work, but an ongoing commitment to the
common good.
