Gordon Brown 'ashamed' to sign Lisbon Treaty, say Tories
Source: Times Online
11 December 2007 – Gordon Brown will travel to Portugal to sign the reworked European Union constitutional treaty, but he will not attend the actual signing ceremony for the document, it was confirmed today in a decision that the former Tory leader William Hague called a "ridiculous fudge".
The Prime Minister's attendance at the signing of the controversial EU Reform Treaty in Lisbon on Thursday had been in doubt for several weeks because of a clash in his schedule.
Mr Brown was due to make his first appearance before the Commons Liaison Committee, a heavyweight group of senior backbench MPs, at exactly the same time as the Treaty of Lisbon is being signed by the other 26 EU leaders. "The Liaison Committee must come first," an aide said.
…
"If he backs the renamed EU Constitution so much that he’s ready to break his manifesto promise, he should at least have the courage to be photographed doing it. If he’s ashamed of signing this Treaty then why doesn’t he honour his election promise and let the British people have their say?"
The Treaty of Lisbon Ceremony is due to start at 11.30am this Thursday. The treaty signing is due at 12.15pm and the family photograph at 1.10pm.
It creates a permanent EU President, a high representative for
foreign affairs and a legal personality for the Union,
as well as reducing the number of commissioners to streamline
procedures in an enlarged EU of 27 states.
Comments: Update: Gordon Brown will sign the EU Reform Treaty in Lisbon but that doesn’t mean he will enjoy the trip. The news is indicating he will sign the document after the 26 other EU leaders, later in the day. The EU Reform Treaty is just as the article says above it is a “renamed EU Constitution” and as much as Mr Brown would like to hide the facts, Britain will crossed the red lines that they never said they would do. Britain, like all the rest of the 26 EU countries will transfer sovereignty and power from their individual states over to Brussels. Once the EU treaty comes into force Jan 2009, Brussels will have the power to change times and laws and this is why Mr Brown is ashamed. It is that simple
Da 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Support Sought for Temple Mount Synagogue
Source: Arutz
11 December 2007 –
Haifa's long-time Chief Rabbi She'ar-Yashuv Cohen, who has taken
part in many interfaith conferences and gatherings with Moslem
religious leaders, says he's trying to gather support for a
synagogue on the Temple Mount.
Rabbi Cohen, son of the late renowned Torah scholar known as the
Nazir, Rabbi David Cohen, chairs the Chief Rabbinate Council for the
Establishment of a Synagogue on the Temple Mount. Speaking on a
special Temple Mount radio program on Voice of Israel's Moreshet
(Tradition)-channel this week, he said he is working in the United
States to amass support for the project.
Other rabbis have also called for the construction of a Jewish
prayer site on the Temple Mount. Former Chief Sephardic Rabbi
Mordechai Eliyahu is among them, though he has not campaigned for
this cause. Other members on the Chief Rabbinate committee are
Be'er Sheva's Chief Rabbi Yehuda Deri and Tzfat's Chief Rabbi Shmuel
Eliyahu.
Jewish Temple Mount supporters greeted Rabbi Cohen's announcement
with enthusiasm. The Movement for the Establishment of the Temple
declared, "The holiday of Chanukah, commemorating the liberation and
purification of the Mount and the Temple, is the perfect time for
the establishment of a prayer site for the Jewish People on the
Mount. This will be a step towards full Jewish sovereignty over the
holy site."
Rabbi Cohen took advantage of the opportunity to call upon the
observant Jewish public to visit the site of the Holy Temple. He
said this must be done only after taking the prescribed Halakhic
[Jewish legal] precautions, such as immersing in a mikveh beforehand
and others.
Other Temple Mount News
On Monday, the famous golden Menorah (candelabrum) - suitable
for use in the Holy Temple, and familiar to visitors to the Cardo
section of the Old City of Jerusalem - was relocated to the landing
of the wide staircase that leads down from the Jewish Quarter to the
Western Wall. The $3-million, one-half ton Menorah is protected
inside the same type of glass structure that has housed it until
now. The Menorah's construction was made possible through the
generosity of Vadim Rabinovitch, a leader of the Jewish community of
Ukraine.
Some 1,500 people took part in the monthly "Temple Mount Gates
March" on Sunday night, Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) Tevet. The event
was dedicated to the memory of Ido Zoldan, who was murdered last
month by Palestinian terrorists; his family took part in the march.
Hundreds of Jews have
ascended to the Mount "in purity" - i.e., according to Jewish Law -
on the various days of Chanukah.
Rabbis of the Movement
for the Establishment of the Temple
were on hand to provide guidance and explanations.
Comments: The march for a Third Jewish Temple continues to gather momentum and it is only a matter of time before the rebuilding gets underway. We know that the Temple Institute is already working on the blueprints for the Third Temple and most of the Temple furniture and clothing has already been made. A war with Iran or a false peace treaty dividing the platform is all that it would take to set the plan in motion. The signs are obvious and the news should be clear that God is preparing Israel for redemption. Hardly a day goes by without seeing prophetic events that point to Christ’s soon return. I’m already looking up.
Lu 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
