New Show/Podcast!!!

Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

Gaza Humanitarian Crisis


New Shopping Mall in Gaza

New Shopping Mall in Gaza




Gaza is booming, with the opening of new shopping malls, sports clubs with olympic-sized swimming pools, gourmet restaurants and seaside tourist resorts…

At the same time, Israel is treating palestinian terrorists and their children in Israel’s hospitals…at the expense of Jewish charity organizations!


Gaza Food Shortage

Gaza Food Shortage

Flotillas of aid ships should be traveling from Gaza TO Turkey instead of vice versa, since the economic, social and health conditions in Gaza are markedly BETTER than they are in Turkey…not to mention most of Black Africa and the rest of the Arab world…But try to tell THAT to the (mis-guided) bleeding-hearts in the Western media…

Roots Club Restaurant in Gaza

Roots Club Restaurant in Gaza




New Gaza Criminals

New Gaza Criminals

And then there’s Islamic Sharia law taking hold in Gaza, largely at the expense of the rights of palestinian women…You won’t believe some of the laws being enforced under Sharia in Gaza, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries…Guess the “Human” rights organizations don’t consider women “human”…

Elena Kagan

Elena Kagan




Also…Do you really want sitting on the US Supreme Court (lifetime appointment) one Elena Kagan, who forged Harvard’s “Islamic Finance Project”, stated purpose: “to promote Sharia compliance in the U.S. financial sector”…Gaza coming home to roost in America?

Jewish Faith and Israel

Written by Marty Roberts on July 28, 2010 – 9:46 am -

Faith is in the news today, from president Bush in the White House, to Jewish “settlers” in Israel, to Islamic fundamentalists around the world.

Marty Roberts talks about the basic principles of Jewish Faith, according to Maimonides, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (The Rambam). The story of Rambam’s life and a discussion of his “Thirteen Prinicples” and how they apply to Jews and Israel.

All this and MORE…

U.S. President George W. Bush


Maimonides-The Rambam
Rabbi Moses ben Maimon

Rambam-Maimonides

The Rambam’s 13 Principles of Jewish Faith

1. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is the Creator and Ruler of all things. He alone has made, does make, and will make all things.

2. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is One. There is no unity that is in any way like His. He alone is our G-d He was, He is, and He will be.

3. I believe with perfect faith that G-d does not have a body. physical concepts do not apply to Him. There is nothing whatsoever that resembles Him at all.

4. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is first and last.

5. I believe with perfect faith that it is only proper to pray to G-d. One may not pray to anyone or anything else.

6. I believe with prefect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.

7. I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses is absolutely true. He was the chief of all prophets, both before and after Him.

8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that we now have is that which was given to Moses.

9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be changed, and that there will never be another given by G-d.

10. I believe with perfect faith that G-d knows all of man’s deeds and thoughts. It is thus written (Psalm 33:15), “He has molded every heart together, He understands what each one does.”

11. I believe with perfect faith that G-d rewards those who keep His commandments, and punishes those who transgress Him.

12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah. How long it takes, I will await His coming every day.

13. I believe with perfect faith that the dead will be brought back to life when G-d wills it to happen. (yes, Judaism believes in an afterlife, life after death!)

The Rambam’s Grave in Tiberius, Israel

“From Moses [of the Torah] to Moses [Maimonides] there was none like Moses.”

This is the inscription you will see on the tombstone of Maimonides, The Rambam, when you visit here, in Tiberius, Israel

Teenage Fads-What Can They Tell Us About Our Society?

Written by Marty Roberts on July 28, 2010 – 9:38 am -

…Also… Dead Human Corpses as Art?
What does THAT have to say about our world today???


A classic post and podcast from the archives!!!


CLICK PLAY Button to Listen to “The Marty Roberts Show”

On today’s show, Marty talks about some fads that are taking today’s youth by storm….some OK, and some VERY NOT OK!!!! Both “cutting” and “knitting” are in the news in the modern western world.

teenage

With the encouragement and support of twenty-something media stars, and wide internet and press coverage, our youth are taking up self-mutilation as a new hobby, as well as a method of escape from the “pressures” of life. Marty Roberts sees this as somewhat of an alarming development, and ponders what this might have to say about the current religious/moral state of our society.

teenage self-mutilation

The bizarre tattooing craze has already made itself felt world-wide, even here, in Israel. Perhaps using the human body as an art canvas is less alarming than carving it up like raw meat, but it is no less forbidden by both Jewish and Christian Law:

The verse from the Torah/Bible is:

Leviticus 19:28“Do not cut your bodies for the dead, or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD”

The Jewish religion views the human body as a holy vessel, on loan to its user, to temporarily house the Human Spirit during its brief time on this earth. It is fully expected that this body will be returned to its owner in the same condition in which it was received!!

And what about the deranged German so-called artist that makes art out of preserved human corpses?????

Marty has something to say about THAT, also!!



teenage knitting

Less disturbing, perhaps even encouraging is another trend that is grabbing teenage boys in both
America and Israel…KNITTING!!!!

knitting

Can yarn and knitting needles REALLY be a powerful “chick-magnet”??? Maybe so!!!

Some Interesting Facts About Islam…Ignore them at your own risk!

Written by Marty Roberts on July 28, 2010 – 9:12 am -

….And WHAT Redemption of The Jewish People???

Sometimes it is not “politically correct” to tell the truth, especially when the subject is religion. Marty Roberts doesn’t pull his punches, or worry about “P-C-ness” when it comes to life-and-death topics, like the religion of Islam, which seems to be at the root of much, if not ALL of the world’s terror today. (THE greatest threat facing the free world today??)…Not to mention the only threat to the existence of the State of Israel and the Jewish People!!!!

Common Misconceptions About Islam:

1. Islam is a religion of peace, and is NOT ANTI-JEWISH —- FALSE!!!! Islam has ALWAYS been a violent and military movement..Mohammed conducted 74 military campaigns, unifying Arab tribes with war and assasination or exile of Jews..

2. Islam is just a religion —- FALSE!!!! It has NEVER been JUST a religion, it has always been a political organization…with the goal of unifying all the Arab tribes, with their ultimate international expansion to world domination..

3. Mosques are only a sacred place of worship —- FALSE!!!! (again) Mosques have always been political and social centers, as well. They have been used historically (as well as today) for military plotting and radical political organization..

4. Jihad is not a practice of Islam, but only of a few radicals — WRONG!!!! Jihad is a TENET of Islam, practice by Mohammed himself–MILITARY Jihad, violent conquest of infidel nations… not some ethereal, spiritual conceptual Jihad…death and military victory!!! This is the exemplar of behavior for every believing Moslem..

5. Islam and Democracy are compatible — With all due respect to George W….ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Democracy and Islam are contradictory terms. Sharia, or Islamic religious Law, is the goal of Islam. Just see the “Ideal” in practice, whether in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Afghanistan.

Marty debunks these popular misconceptions, one by one in his radio program…




Also….

Many Jews living in luxury (although in exile) in the Western World are asking, “How can it be that the Final Redemption of the Jewish People is taking place now? How can you suggest that we come home to Israel, our homeland, when things over there are OBVIOUSLY SO BAD, so un-redemption-like???

Maybe now IS NOT the right time, no???

No, is right…as Marty points out in today’s show….The Final Redemption is CLEARLY happening now, and yes, indeed, it IS time for ALL the Jews to COME HOME TO ISRAEL!!!!

Listen to find out why…

This is the Message of Modern Islam

The message originates in the Holy Koran…

It is perpetuated in The Hadith…

History bears witness to its seriousness of intent…

The Teaching of the Message of Jihad Starts in the Nursery

The Message is clear and unequivocal…

A struggle for world domination…

A struggle between the forces of peace and freedom…

and the forces of Islam…

The Message of Islam – Jihad – is Communicated with Guns and Bombs

jihad


This is not a topic for seminars and encounter groups…

The encounter take place in the cafes, buses, trains and high-rise office buildings of Israel and the Western World…

History proves it.

A reading of the Koran, the Hadith and the life of Mohammed proves it.

The goal of Islam is world domination…subjugation of all infidels (non-Moslems) and submission of the entire world to Islamic rule and religious law…

These are the facts…

Jewish Holiday: Tu B’Shevat-New Years’ Day for Trees in Israel

Written by Marty Roberts on July 27, 2010 – 11:06 am -


A classic post and podcast from the archives!!!


CLICK PLAY Button to Listen to “The Marty Roberts Show”



Today, Tuesday, 15 Shevat 5765 (25 January 2005), is the new year for trees in Israel. It is a unique holiday in Israel which has been celebrated since Biblical times. On Tu B’Shevat the people of Israel plant trees throughout the land and celebrate with a special family meal which is also called a “seder”. The main part of the meal is the eating of all kinds of fruits which are grown in the land of Israel. During this meal we also bless G-d for the fruits that He gave to His people and for making Israel a land of milk and honey.




Soldiers planting a tree in the land of Israel. As in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah on one hand they hold their weapons to protect the people and land of Israel and with the other hand they are building the land of the G–d and people of Israel by planting trees as G–d commanded.

Trees were planted today all over the Land of Israel, in the settlements in Judaea, Samaria, and Gaza, in the cities, towns and forests of ALL of Israel. The Jewish settled areas in Judeaea, Samaria and Gaza are the main Biblical areas of the ten tribes in Samaria and the land of the tribe of Judah in the mountains of Judaea, and Gaza, the land which G-d redeemed from the Philistines and gave back to Israel.

The planting of trees by the Israelis in the land of Israel is one of the most important commandments of G-d to His people. In the first redemption of Israel, when G-d gave them the Torah at Sinai, He commanded them: “And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all kinds of trees for food” (Leviticus 19:23a) This important commandment of G-d was fulfilled by the Israelites in Biblical time and the land became covered with trees, especially fruit trees. G-d blessed the trees and they produced much fruit.



The beauty of G-d covered the land and made it the most beautiful land in the world. This commandment was especially fulfilled after times when enemies destroyed the land. When G-d brought His people back to the land one of the first things His people did was to plant trees as G-d commanded them.

This commandment was also intensively fulfilled in our time when G-d started to regather the Jews to the land. This was done through Zionism. Again the land started to be covered by forests and fruit trees after almost 2,000 years of destruction when the foreigners who occupied the land — especially the Arabs — cut down the trees and used their foliage as food for their flocks and the wood to warm their houses. When the Jews started to return to the land about 100 years ago, they found the land desolate, no longer with trees and forests.

Immediately they started to fulfil this commandment of G-d and today the land is covered with forests and orchards after a long time when the land was devoid of trees. There is still much planting to be done and the Israelis plant every day of the year but especially on Tu B’Shevat.



A small Israeli girl born in Israel from a Jewish family regathered from Russia planting a tree in the land of Israel for the honour of her forefathers who were exiled from the land 2000 years ago and now have come back. She is planting it in thanksgiving to the G–d of Israel for the great miracle that He did with His people.



In the prophetic Word of the G-d of Israel, when He spoke of the endtime redemption of Israel — the Zionist redemption of Israel in the time in which we are now living, G-d connected the redemption of Israel with the redemption of the land, the rebuilding of houses, and the replanting of trees. All the prophets of Israel spoke of the exciting godly time in which we are now living in Israel. Isaiah described it in special and exciting words. The climax of this redemption is the redemption of the holy mountain of G-d, the Temple Mount:

“And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and my chosen ones shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the L-rd, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says the L-rd.” (Isaiah 65:21-25)

Since the liberation of the holy Biblical areas of the land in Judaea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem, these holy areas of the land of Israel were settled by the descendants of the tribes of Israel who were taken from the land thousands of years ago. It was the biggest godly miracle in the life of Israel and all mankind; that a nation which was exiled from its land was regathered again by G-d to the land which G-d had given them in an eternal covenant and did not become lost in the exile.

Even the ten “lost” tribes were rediscovered over the past years and have also started to be regathered to the land. The promises of G-d to His people through His prophets have become a reality in these exciting days in which we are now living. Today, when one travels in these areas which for so many years were desolate and settled by Arab foreigners who occupied the land and never cared about rebuilding and planting it, you will see the beautiful villages and cities — which for thousands of years were in ruins — covered with trees and orchards. Small Israeli children who were born there play among the trees. Israeli farmers again share their fruits with the people of Israel and even with all the world.

It is so exciting to see how the endtime Word of G-d to His people through His prophet, Amos, becomes a daily reality in the these Biblical areas of the land as in other areas which G-d again blessed to be a land of milk and honey once He regathered his people to the land:

“Behold, the days come, says the L-rd, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; they shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says the L-rd your G-d.” (Amos 9:13-15)


This Word of G-d should be learned by all the world and especially by the American Administration which is pressurising Israel to remove settlements and stop the rebuilding of houses and the planting of trees by the people of G-d. They want to give the holy land of Israel, which G-d gave only to His people, for their anti-godly plan of establishing a foreign so-called “Palestinian” state.

It is so sad that the world does not want to accept what G-d is doing with Israel today in the holy land and His clear word:

“And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says the L-rd your G-d.” (Amos 9:15)

Who can change the determination of G-d at this exciting and critical time to redeem Israel and their land and to again plant them and their trees in the land as a condition for the redemption of all the world? G-d alone is sovereign over all the world and all His creation. All the anti-godly human plans to prevent Him from fulfilling His prophetic endtime plans with Israel will never work.

The holy land of Israel will continue to be covered with the children of Israel. Many rebuilt houses, many replanted trees and small Israeli children will play among them as a godly testimony to all the world and history.

“Thus says the L-rd: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth; and the mountain of the L-rd of hosts the Holy Mountain. Thus says the L-rd of hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for the fullness of days. … Thus says the L-rd of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their G-d, in truth and in righteousness. Thus says the L-rd of hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who spoke on the day that the foundation of the house of the L-rd of hosts was laid, saying that the temple might be built. … For there shall be the seed of peace; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. … Thus says the L-rd of hosts: It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities; And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of the L-rd, and to seek the L-rd of hosts. I will go also. And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the L-rd of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the L-rd. Thus says the L-rd of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men from the nations of every language, shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that G-d is with you.” (Zechariah 8:3,4,7-9,12,20-23)

Fascinating Facts About the Dead Sea Scrolls

What Can They Tell Us About the “Truth” of both Judaism and Christianity???

The Dead Sea and Environs

dead sea

This is where the Essenes lived…

This is where their writings, the Dead Sea Scrolls, were found




A Sea Unlike Any Other in the World

dead sea

The Dead Sea is a virtual “mineral factory”…

The air and the waters from this site, the lowest place on earth, have special healing properties found nowhere else in the world…

The best way to experience this is to come to Israel…



Second best…buy the effects in a bottle…

dead sea products

Here’s some that I particularly recommend




Qumran: Home of the Essenes

essenes
qumran




The Essenes were a strict Torah observant, Messianic apocalyptic Jewish sect that lived in Qumran from about 200 B.C. to 68 C.E./A.D.

They lived in a relatively modern village, but hid their library in the caves overlooking their homes when threatened by the Romans occupying Israel at the time.




The Legacy of The Essenes: The Dead Sea Scrolls

qumran

A potpourri of tiny fragments and complete scrolls…

These documents, found by wandering Bedouin tribes in the Caves of Qumran, continue to be studied and debated to this day…

Just what, exactly, is the meaning of the contents of this library???

What can they tell us about our past, and about the history of the Great Faiths of the World???
