A Dose of Reality From a Palestinian Christian

A Palestinian Christian Response to Michael Oren

By Faysal Hijazeen

As the parish priest of Ramallah, an op-ed by Israel's envoy to the US gave me pause for thought. Michael Oren's article spoke volumes of Israel's unending misrepresentation of Palestinian daily life.

The presence of our 13 Latin Patriarchate Schools throughout the West Bank and Gaza, for over 150 years, is a living witness to the coexistence of Palestinian Christians and Muslims.

We have never faced in our schools or society the supposed persecution of Christians by Muslims to which Mr Oren referred in "Israel and the Plight of Mideast Christians," published Friday in the Wall Street Journal.

Contrary to Oren’s statements, the persecution of Christians here is caused mainly by the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory. This occupation humiliates us, destroys our economy, causes demographic changes and deprives millions of the freedom of movement and their right to decent lives, in addition to the confiscation of land.

These are the main ways Christians are persecuted in Palestine.

"How does a 'defensive' action result in the complete & total conquest of another people's homes & lands? The answer is that it does not. The Jews are the blatant aggressors. "

New martyr Archimandrite Philoumenos (Hasapis)

Of Father Philoumenos' surname, his spiritual son Monk Yeghia Yenovkian writes that he was "Born to the pious Cypriot family of Hasapis". In a Greek source, published in August 2004 which deals with modern saints of the Orthodox Church, Fr. Philoumenos is referred to in a brief biographical entry as "Orountiotis" however; this latter term in the Greek refers to his place his origin (i.e. "of the village of Orounta") and not to his surname.

(Greek: Π. Φιλουμενος ο Κυπριος , also Π. Φιλουμενος Ορουντιωτης ), October 15, 1913 - November 16, 1979, was the Igumen of the Greek Orthodox monastery of Jacob's Well near the city of Samaria, now called Nablus (Neapolis), in the West Bank.

In a Synodal decision the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem classified him in its Hagiologion at its 50th Session on September 11, 2009. He was officially glorified by the the Patriarchate of Jerusalem on November 29, 2009 (Old Style), and is commemorated by the Church on November 16/29.

Father Philoumenos' was martyred at the hands of the Jews in Palestine on his Name day, November 29th (Old Style), which is also the feast of the 3rd century martyrs Paramon and Philoumen (ca. AD 270).

His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilus III presided at the Divine Liturgy, along with the bishops of the Patriarchal see of Jerusalem and a number of bishops from the Church of Cyprus, in addition to a delegation from the Russian Church.

The life of Father Philoumenos is an example that martyrdom for Christ is not of the past from the Roman Empire or Communist times, but is a reality even in our own day...

Norway Antisemitic? Norway Under Attack? What in the…?

"It's a SECRET!" - This is what a fully brainwashed FreeSlavemason looks like... just in case you were wondering

Pictured-The-blond-Norwegian-Oslo-car-bomb-blasts

He's a Zionist "Christian" by the looks of things and a Freemason to boot apparently. Oh and supposedly he is responsible for the car bomb and the shootings all by his self. They say he killed at least 92 people. 84 kids on that island alone from what I've heard.

Lord have mercy! Save their souls!

This was the scene on the Island the day before

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, The One Who Kills The Prophets

[caption id="attachment_585" align="aligncenter" width="221" caption=""O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!" - Matthew 23:37"][/caption]

Interesting:

"While it is true that somebody billed as "Christ" may indeed be (someday) ruling from Jerusalem, that person (who will have to be a 'Jew', and supposedly a descendant of David) obviously will not be The Lamb of God; he'll simply be a pretender to the throne of Christ.

(Christ's Kingdom is not of this age...)

God has already defined Jerusalem.

As if to illustrate the reality that Talmudic-Zionist Jews represent the Satanic Beast and the antichrist, God appears to have left us a curious sign. Feast your eyes on this.

When determined by latitude and longitude, (pretty much) the exact center of the city of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) is 31° 47′ 00 N by 35° 13′ 00 E. If we add the numbers together we get:

31° 47′ 00 N (latitude)
35° 13′ 00 E (longitude)
————————–
6 6 6. 00



Considering the OBVIOUS Zionist control system coming (increasingly, seemingly) out of the heart of Jerusalem, the probability of this happening "by coincidence" is over 99,999,999 to one. In other words, you have much a better chance of winning the lottery than this occurring by accident.

You can check the location yourself at the following Mapquest site.

I think this is a CLEAR statement from God!"

I checked there and Google Earth... it's true.

God said that in the latter days knowledge would increase. That sure seems to be happening.

(Note:

While the aforementioned coordinates do indeed add up to 666 and they do center on a place in Jerusalem…

Other places in the world (many in the ocean) can and do also add up to 666.

Still...)
