Michael J. Totten: The Grand Universal Illusion—Prof. Richard Landes explains what he calls cognitive egocentrism. “The act of empathy can often become an act of projecting onto another ‘what I would feel if I were in their shoes,’ rather than an attempt to understand how the person with whom one is empathizing has reacted to their situation, how they read and interpret events.” People do this sort of thing all the time. We also do it to foreign people, and they do it to us.

4--Scripture of the Day

Ezekiel 47: 13-14

Thus says Adonai Yahweh, “This shall be the boundary by which you shall divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two portions. You shall divide it for an inheritance, each one equally with the other; for I swore to give it to your forefathers, and this land shall fall to you as an inheritance.”

5--HNIY Print form

His Name is Yahweh explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important.  It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.

  • God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
  • “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
  • “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.  In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)
  • Yeshua said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8: 58)

13--Perspectives

#####

Roy van Keulen: Setting a Clear Red Line in Israel’s Legal Narrative toward Iran—The Six-Day War demonstrated that under certain circumstances, self-defense may be invoked to maintain a defensible situation, even if an armed attack is not imminent but an indefensible situation is imminent. Furthermore, we have seen that there are threats with which no state can be expected to live when there exists a manifest intent to injure, an active degree of preparation that makes that intent a positive danger, and a general situation in which waiting, or doing anything other than fighting, greatly magnifies the risk.

Stuart Ramsay: Syria: The Growing Power of Jihadist Groups—The number of Jihadist groups flooding into Syria two years after the start of the uprising is threatening to eclipse the power of mainstream opposition groups as well as the authority of the Free Syrian Army.

Walid Phares: Obama Abstract on the Middle East, Admits Jihadi Expansion, Ignores Taliban After 2014— In his State of the Union speech of 2013, President Barack Obama addressed several crises in the Middle East and on the front of fighting terror. On Afghanistan President Obama assessed the outcome of his policies as a weakening of the Taliban and committed to a sustained withdrawal from the country while helping the Afghan Government to take the lead in military missions.

Isi Leibler: Between Israel and Australia— This tragic episode reminds us that we live in a very tough region and that even as a democracy, security related issues will arise which must remain outside the public purview.

Abraham Ben-Zvi: Much ado about Hagel—Hagel has by no means been rejected, but his confirmation is hitting a lot of bumps in the road.

Yaakov Ahimeir: Mossad doesn’t owe the media explanations— Contrary to the media’s advice, the Mossad must not appoint a spokesperson.

Dr. Gabi Avital: Syrian refugees: Morality and limits— Israel must allow as many refugees as possible in for treatment, so long as they return home afterward.

Aharon Lapidot: Dial 1-800-4Mossad— The Mossad needs to improve its media relations.

KC Johnson and Asaf Romirowsky: How Brooklyn College Legitimized BDS— The controversy over a “panel discussion” at Brooklyn College has little to do with free speech, and everything to do with politicization of the academia — in this case, by disingenuous anti-Israel ideologues.

Cal Thomas: Recycling old and failed ideas— President Obama’s approach to so-called climate change appears to include the recycling of old ideas. In his State of the Union address, the president recycled the idea of spending more on education, though prior increases have not changed the unsatisfactory results — a fact he inadvertently acknowledged by saying we’re not keeping up with other countries in science and math. He maintained there are tens of thousands of jobs available but companies can’t fill them because public schools aren’t teaching students what they need to know. We spend huge sums on education already, so money and achievement must not be related.

P. Gosselin: How Germany’s Climate Scientists Suddenly Changed Their Predictions Of Warm Winters…To Cold Snowy Ones— Currently this 2012/13 winter in Germany and over large parts of Europe we’ve been finding lots of cold, snow and ice –  the fifth winter of this type in a row.

Jeffrey Phelps: CO2 argument begins cooling— An extraordinarily strange phenomenon has occurred within the world of science and news. A gigantic shift is taking place in the way a potential threat to mankind has been largely viewed by “science” and the public for decades. Yet, somehow, the entirety of the vast media-industrial complex has managed to overlook this massive situation.

P. Gosselin: Conclusive Study: Most Scientists Have Serious Doubts About The Claimed Extent Of Man-Made Global Warming— ‘We find that virtually all respondents (99.4%) agree that the climate is changing. However, there is considerable disagreement as to cause, consequences, and lines of action.’

Marita Noon: Obama’s Energy Plans: Tragedy Disguised as Triumph— The State of the Union Address (SOTUA) is now last week’s history. Nearly every aspect of it has been fully dissected. For example, the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) has done a line-by-line analysis of what they call the “most expensive and widest ranging State of the Union Address yet.” They found that the “quantifiable agenda items” in the President’s proposals “weighed in at $83.4 billion.” The NTU called the efforts to combat climate change the “most costly single agenda item”—citing a “version of the ‘cap-and-trade’ bill to which Obama referred in his speech was priced at $282.4 billion total, or $56.5 billion per year.” The SOTUA specifically calls for “a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago.

Jonathan S. Tobin: Has the Shoe Dropped on Hagel?—On Fox News Sunday this morning, the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward said that some Democratic senators have called the White House asking if Chuck Hagel will withdraw from the battle to confirm him as secretary of defense. The apparent answer to that question is not yet. But the furor over the Washington Free Beacon’s reporting of a statement Hagel made in 2007 alleging that the Israeli Foreign Ministry was running the U.S. State Department is turning up the heat on the nominee.

Peter Wehner: Obama’s Threat to the Millennial Generation—In his National Journal article, Ron Brownstein, in commenting on President Obama’s State of the Union address, wrote this: Especially striking was how much of it seemed targeted directly at the massive and diverse millennial generation, born between 1981 and 2002. Obama addressed them repeatedly: by insisting that entitlement spending on the old must face some limits to prevent it from crowding out investment in the young; by framing climate change as a generational challenge; by pledging to provide young people with more training and to confront rising college costs; and by closing with a paean to citizenship that reflected their civic impulses. “They are the leading edge of where the country is headed ideologically as well as demographically,” one senior White House aide said.

Larry Bell: EPA’s Secret and Costly ‘Sue and Settle’ Collusion With Environmental Organizations— “Sue and Settle “ practices, sometimes referred to as “friendly lawsuits”, are cozy deals through which far-left radical environmental groups file lawsuits against federal agencies wherein  court-ordered “consent decrees” are issued based upon a prearranged settlement agreement they collaboratively craft together in advance behind closed doors. Then, rather than allowing the entire process to play out, the agency being sued settles the lawsuit by agreeing to move forward with the requested action they and the litigants both want.

Bruce Thornton: Half-Truths, Delusions, and Immigration—How Obama plans to catapult lawbreakers, including convicts, to the head of the line.

Daniel Greenfield: John Brennan: From Mecca to Washington—Is Obama’s CIA nominee a secret Muslim?

Bruce Bawer: “A Culture of Cowards”—Stifling the news about the murder attempt on Lars Hedegaard.

14--Blessings from Revelation

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
