Focus on Israel
1. Settler mayor: If Netanyahu won't reveal annexation plan, we'll 'blow it up' - Times of Israel
A prominent settler leader told The Times of Israel Wednesday that he and his colleagues are prepared to "blow up" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to annex their towns in the West Bank - if the premier persists in refusing to share a map a joint US-Israeli committee is currently drawing up to delineate the scope of Israeli sovereignty beyond the Green Line.
"If Netanyahu continues to keep his cards close to his chest on this, we'll have no choice but to blow it up," threatened the West Bank mayor, who asked not to be identified by name.
The remarks came just 24 hours after roughly half a dozen members of the Yesha umbrella council of settlement mayors met with Netanyahu to raise their objections to the Trump plan due to its envisioning of a semi-autonomous, non-contiguous Palestinian state being established on roughly 70 percent of the West Bank.
2. Palestinians, Jordan bluffing on Israeli sovereignty, former US officials say - Israel Hayom
With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushing ahead with plans to apply sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and parts of Judea and Samaria, there are concerns being raised that it could ignite tensions with the Palestinians and neighboring Jordanians. Both outcomes are extremely unlikely, however, according to former senior US officials with vast experience in the Middle East.
"Both the Palestinians and Jordanians are showing weakness and instead of threatening Israel with something it cares about, they are busy taking themselves hostage," said David Wurmser, who served as a senior adviser on the Middle East to former Vice President Dick Cheney and is currently an executive at the Dephi Global Analysis Group, which he founded.
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas threatened last month to cut ties with Israel, stop security cooperation and void past agreements if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues with his plan to apply Israeli law. Similarly, in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel in May, Jordan's King Abdullah warned Israel that violence could erupt if it continues with its sovereignty plan.
"What would happen if the Palestinian National Authority collapsed? There would be more chaos and extremism in the region. If Israel really annexed the West Bank in July, it would lead to a massive conflict with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan," Abdullah said.
3. Annexation may get pushed off as America favors delay - World Israel News
Israeli experts from across the political spectrum expressed doubt on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be able to fulfill his goal of annexing Israeli settlements on July 1.
The issue of applying Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, including those in the Jordan Valley, has been on the agenda for years, but got a boost under the peace plan unveiled earlier this year by President Donald Trump.
With the apparent blessing of American officials, Netanyahu set a July 1 date for annexing the settlements as part of the national unity government agreement.
But like everything else in the Middle East, it's complicated-so much so that there are doubts Israel will be able to meet that July 1 goal.
4. Knesset Mulls Extending State of Emergency Status - Jerusalem Online
The Joint Committee of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, chaired by MK Zvi Hauser held a session on Tuesday to discuss the government's decision on April 13, 2020, which proposes to the Knesset to renew the declaration of a state of emergency.
Hauser opened the discussion, and said, "The State has been under a state of emergency since 1948. In general, the very existence of the emergency situation has two main consequences: The first, allowing the government to issue emergency regulations, which in practice bypass legislation in the Knesset, and their validity is limited to three months. The second, the orders and laws whose validity is contingent on the existence of a state of emergency, which will become invalid if the declaration was not renewed."
The members of the joint committee complained that in fact they have no choice but to approve the extension of the state of emergency, and discussed the question of what could prompt the government to work more efficiently towards detaching the legislation from the state of emergency - be it extending the state of emergency for a period of less than the year requested by the government, hold more frequent discussions in the Committee, or something else.
5. New Israeli Ballistic Missile Passes Sea Tests With High Level of Accuracy - Algemeiner
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) successfully tested on Tuesday its latest ballistic missile, the Israeli news site Walla reported.
The LORA missile was tested at sea, with two projectiles fired at prearranged targets. One test was a short-range launch of 90 kilometers and the second a long-range test of 400 kilometers.
In the tests, the missiles were launched, then acquired their targets automatically, and succeeded in striking them with great accuracy.
LORA is a ground and sea-based system that includes the missile itself, a specially-built launcher, a command and control system, and a land and sea support network. It is designed to strike a target within an accuracy of 10 meters.
Boaz Levy - general manager and executive vice president of IAI's Systems, Missiles, and Space Group - said, "This complex experiment has demonstrated and exhibited the advanced capabilities of IAI and the weapons system."
6. 'America has Officially Entered a Civil War it won't Recover from' Hidden Rabbis Warn - Breaking Israel News
All of the US is in shock as rioting continues into the eighth straight day all around the country. At least 14 people have been killed, black and white, police and civilian. Under such dire conditions, Breaking Israel News turned to two respected rabbis to explain the prophetic sources and implications of the events.
Rabbi Aryeh Weingarten, the founder of Karmei Chesed, saw the events in America as being related to similar events in Israel.
. . . Rabbi Weingarten noted that as the time to implement the Peace Plan, it becomes clear that Israel will be forced to divide the land in direct contravention of Biblical law.
"And now, the American government wants Israel to walk away from the land that God told us to protect, the land that we finally returned to after 2,000 years," Rabb Weingarten said. "God forbid, if the US forces us to do that, will there be another measure for measure teaching them what it means to leave their land? I can't imagine it but who could have imagined the coronavirus and then these riots?"

1. Over 400 NYC Looters to Be Freed from Jail Thanks to 'Bail Reform' Policy - Brietbart
More than 400 looters arrested in New York City, New York, riots this week will be immediately freed from jail thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D-NY) "bail reform" policy that eliminated bail for many nonviolent and violent crimes. As riots rage on in New York City - and Mayor Bill de Blasio has refused to deploy the U.S. National Guard - hundreds of looters arrested for burglarizing shops and stores are set to be immediately freed back onto the streets. The New York Times noted that more than 400 people in New York City have been arrested for looting commercial businesses. Almost all of them will likely be released from jail immediately after their arraignments in court. (Read more)

2. Pentagon moves 1,600 active-duty troops near DC as tensions escalate - The Hill
The Pentagon announced Tuesday that it is activating active-duty units near Washington, D.C., amid escalating tensions and protests over George Floyd's death. The Defense Department said in a statement that Secretary Mark Esper authorized the movement of approximately 1,600 troops from Fort Bragg, N.C. and Fort Drum, N.Y. The troops are stationed at military bases near Washington but are not in the district itself, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in the statement.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper emphasized in a message to all Pentagon personnel that the department is committed "to protecting the American people's right to freedom of speech and to peaceful assembly." (Read more)
- Father God we ask for your supernatural protection over police officers, Secret Service, and all emergency personnel during this horrific time in the United States of America. We ask that you Wrap all of these individuals with your love, peace, and joy in Jesus name.
- "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
(John 16:33)
3. 'I wish you the best': US military adviser resigns after Trump's controversial photo op at church - Business Insider
In his resignation letter to Esper, which was obtained by The Washington Post, James Miller Jr., who served as the US undersecretary of defense for policy from 2012 to 2014, recalled that he swore an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" and "to bear true faith and allegiance to the same," similar to what the defense secretary had done before he took office.
"On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath," Miller wrote to Esper.
Miller's reasoning centered on President Donald Trump's visit Monday to St. John's Church in Washington, DC, where peaceful protesters were cleared with smoke so that he could pose with a Bible. (Read more)
- Father God in Jesus name we come against the foul lying media and their talking points that seek to confuse, instill fear and anger in the American public. We Break the powers of mind control and confusion and fear off of the citizenry and America's news rooms in Jesus’s mighty name.
- "I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land." (Leviticus 26:6)
4. Defense Secretary Esper: 'I Don't Support' Using Troops Against Protests - Newsmax
Breaking with President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Wednesday that he does not support invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy active duty forces to quell civil unrest and added that he regretted using the word "battlespace" to describe areas gripped by protest. "I don't support invoking the Insurrection Act," Esper said, referring to a statute the president could invoke the deploy troops to respond to the protests. "The National Guard is best suited for performing domestic support to civil authorities in these situations in support of local law enforcement," Esper said. "The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now."
He also appeared to draw another distinction with the White House, saying that while he knew he would be joining Trump to walk into Lafayette Square in front of the presidential residence on Monday, he was not aware of specific plans, including what would happen when the delegation reached St. John's Episcopal Church. Law enforcement forcibly cleared a park outside the White House of peaceful protesters so the president could take a picture in front of a church holding a Bible. Esper said he thought he would be reviewing damage in the plaza and at the church. "I did know we were going to the church. I did not know a photo op was happening," Esper said. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray for the Trump administration's defense secretary - that he will not bow down to political pressure. We know voices around him are strong to oppose Trump, and oppose any movements towards peace. We speak your peace Father over the defense secretary, over the Trump administration, and over this nation. And we pray in Jesus name the protests to come to a halt. Amen.
-"Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble." (Psalm 119:165 )
5. Carson calls for calm as protests continue around America: 'The American people are not each other's enemies' - Fox News
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson urged protesters Tuesday not to "succumb" to those who are trying to "divide and conquer" the country by pitting Americans against one another.
"We need to recognize that we, the American people, are not each other's enemies," Carson told "The Story." "We should not succumb to those who are trying to make us believe that we are enemies, to divide and conquer," he said. "I've never seen a situation where violence, activity of this nature accomplishes something good, it only accomplishes bad."
Responding to those who justify the violence under the pretense that peaceful pleas for chance would be ignored, Carson asked, "Have they forgotten about the legacy of one of the greatest Americans of all time, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was an advocate for nonviolent protests and through the success of a nonviolent protest brought about the greatest social change that has ever been seen?" (Read more)
- Father God we plead the blood of Jesus over all of the negative confessions by politicians and news rooms that state that violence is necessary for justice to be served. Let us remember our history and the brave men and women who peacefully changed the world and that we may follow in those footsteps and reject violence in Jesus name.
- "The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." (Numbers 6:26)
6. Trump Makes Announcement on GOP Convention - DML News
President Trump announced on Twitter Tuesday evening that the plans for holding the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina have all just gone up in smoke.
The convention was scheduled to begin on August 24. Now a new location will need to be found, after North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper reportedly cannot guarantee the RNC will be able to use the venue, due to coronavirus restrictions.
The president tweeted:
Had long planned to have the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place I love. Now, @NC_Governor Roy Cooper and his representatives refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena - Spend millions of dollars, have everybody arrive, and then tell them they will not be able to gain entry.
Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. (Read more)
- Father God we ask that your will would be done in this situation. We pray for the citizens of North Carolina and we ask that you would soften their governors heart and lift the shelter in place restrictions off of them in Jesus name.

7. Rod Rosenstein says he would not have signed Carter Page FISA warrant with knowledge he has now - Washington Examiner
Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said he never would have signed off on the fourth and final Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant targeting Trump campaign associate Carter Page if he knew then what he knows now.
Rosenstein replied in the affirmative when Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham pressed him on whether he read Horowitz's lengthy December 2019 report on the Russia investigation.
"If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application?" Graham asked. Rosenstein replied: "No, I would not." (Read more)
- Father God we ask that justice will be done in this situation. We ask that all of those asking questions to these witnesses would be wise with their questioning to truly seek out the truth so that justice may be served in Jesus name.

8. 3 More Former Cops To Be Charged In The Killing Of George Floyd - Huffington Post
Three more former Minnesota police officers will be charged in the killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who died after an officer kneeled on his neck during an arrest.
The office of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison plans to charge Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng on Wednesday with aiding and abetting Floyd's murder, according to reporting by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that HuffPost confirmed with a law enforcement source.
The Hennepin County prosecutor had already arrested Derek Chauvin, the former police officer seen kneeling on Floyd's neck, last week, charging him with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Ellison's office is also planning to announce that it would be upgrading the third-degree murder charge to second-degree murder. (Read more)
- Father God we pray that justice will be served and win out in this situation. We ask that all of the facts would be brought to light and that those involved in the prosecution would make wise decisions when dealing with the actions of these police officers. We also ask that you not let these officers leave this earth without having a chance to know you. In Jesus name amen.
- "To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:79)
9. Iran, Russia, China, Turkey celebrate 'collapse' of US - Jerusalem Post
Authoritarian regimes throughout the world are pushing narratives that appear to gloat over and celebrate that chaos unfolding in the United States. On Monday, Iran's media pushed stories that highlighted the "collapse," while quoting Russian sources portraying that the US is flailing about as its world order comes crashing down.
To coordinate efforts against the US, these countries all have state media that is well funded, such as RT, TRT, Iran's Tasnim and Fars News and numerous Chinese media outlets. The policies of these countries are to slowly undermine the US and wait for moments of US weakness to push their agendas.
The leadership in Turkey and Iran view their goal as undermining the US through a more religious lens linked with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Muslim Brotherhood that influences Tehran and Ankara respectively. Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sought to capitalize on the recent riots in the US, claiming that America is part of an "unjust order" in the world. (Read more)
- Father God, in the name of Jesus we ask that you would enlighten the eyes of the American people's hearts, and realize that we are not each other's enemies. Lead us to repent of our anger and hatred towards one another as the world watches our every move.

10. MLK Jr.'s Niece Alveda King Says Her Uncle Refused to Promote Violence as a Solution, Calls for Repentance and Prayer - Faith Wire
In an op-ed published on Sunday by Fox News, Dr. Alveda King said Floyd's killing has led to "a cry to heaven going up across America: Lord, please heal our land. It is a cry for unity, for social justice, for safety, and for an end to hatred."
King, a minister like her uncle, pointed out this was an opportunity for the nation's leaders to invite people to stop panicking, stop fighting, and breathe.
She emphasized prayer is important and called on spiritual leaders to show the way. "Right now, here in America, we are in a season of repentance and revival. It is very important for spiritual leaders to lead the way in repentance and prayer; especially with the violence erupting out of Minneapolis spreading destruction across the country like wildfire," she said.

11. Public Health Experts Sign SHOCKING Letter About Protests Amid Pandemic- DML News
More than 1,200 public health experts gave the green light to protesters to flout social distancing regulations and other anti-coronavirus measures in a letter Wednesday despite apparent evidence that COVID-19 spreads easily in large groups.
In an open letter, the public health officials declared COVID-19 a pandemic but said that protesting the issues of "white supremacy" and police brutality was important enough to risk becoming ill with the virus.
The same group condemned anti-lockdown protests just weeks ago but claims these new demonstrations are vastly different and require a different response. (Read more)
- Father God we just pray that you would shed light on the hypocrisy and the lies that were told in the first five months of the year 2020 regarding the COVID-19 "pandemic." Help the American people see the schemes of the enemy and not fall for his traps in Jesus name.

The Daily Jot
Matter of the heart
Thursday, June 4, 2020
Over the past week, there have been a lot of comments coming to my in-box about race, racism, the problem, how to fix it, or just that it is not a problem. Opening dialogue on this issue is a good thing. I stand with Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." The context of this verse is that when we are baptized into Christ, we put on Christ, and in that there essentially is one race-the human race as one in Christ. I get that. Once we accept Christ, however, our lives change. In that change, we have a higher standard that applies to our lives. For me, Galatians 3:28 informs how we are to view and treat others.
In my emails, I have read explanations of the statistics of police brutality and fatalities caused by police action. I have read about what police experience in high crime areas. I have read remarks about black on black crime. I have read about many other issues pertaining to people of color. All of these are from those who are Christian. It seems to me that these topics are justifications that indicate bias. I'm not judging, don't get me wrong. It is good to have open discussions without incrimination. But I will say that unless you have walked a mile in a man's shoes, you do not know what he endures. Many white people just do not understand what is behind the black man's plea. We get all wrapped up in the politics of the matter.
Throughout the black community there is great concern, it is a form of soft tyranny, really. One example of the concern, or anxiety, or worry is that when their child leaves the house, whether by foot, by car or with friends, that they don't know if he/she will come back again. You may say, "Well, that's just not reality, statistics don't back that up." Don't be hard-hearted. This has happened enough times over the course of decades that it has left an indelible impression. And every time there is a George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, or Breonna Taylor, it tears the scabs off of old wounds and reinforces the anxiety. This is real. Most of us do not know what this is like because we don't live it day to day. This is just one example. There are more.
When there is such a death, how do you think it looks when people try to explain it away? What happened to listening and hearing? What happened to empathy? There is a cry coming out from the wilderness from our hurting brothers and sisters. Do we have ears to hear? More importantly, do we have hearts to receive? Can we begin to listen with compassion? Can we at least try to understand? This is not the time to turn a deaf ear, or to look the other way. As Christians, we are to love one another, and love our neighbor. How else can the message of Christ lead to salvation and unity, if first we do not have love for one another? This is not about statistics or politics or painting all with the same brush; it is a matter of the heart.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

An Update from Jeremiah Johnson
An Update from Jeremiah Johnson
. . . During the podcast interview this afternoon with Steven, I began to see in the spirit realm multiple physical storms forming over the next sixty days. If the media has highlighted the corona virus and now the rioting and looting, watch to see if the natural disasters and storms are not some of the highlights over the next 2 months.
Meanwhile, this will all be a diversion from the need to focus our spiritual eyes and ears on China, Russia, and the Middle East. Alarms are sounding in the spirit world. My advice to the saints would be to buckle your seatbelts. If you want out of the turbulence and chaos in 2020, it's simply not going to happen yet. Ask God for grace and the most needed gift of all right now- discernment.
Finally, keep your eyes on George Soros. God is going to deal swiftly and justly in 2020 with those who oppose His plans and purpose."

CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS
"His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns."(Revelation 19:12)
Lyrics
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne. Hark! How the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless king Through all eternity.
Crown Him the virgin's son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now His brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, As of that rose the stem; The root whence mercy ever flows, The Babe of Bethlehem.
Crown Him the Son of God, Before the worlds began, And ye who tread where He hath trod, Crown Him the Son of Man; Who every grief hath known That wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own, That all in Him may rest.
Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of peace, Whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And round His piercèd feet Fair flowers of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown Him the Lord of love, Behold His hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n, Enthroned in worlds above, Crown Him the king to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns, As thrones before Him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is king of all.
Crown Him the Lord of lords, Who over all doth reign, Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, For ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, Where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, Their God, Redeemer, king.
Crown Him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity.

'It's Just Like an Explosion of the Spirit': Pentecost Sunday Sees Congregations Worshipping Together for First Time in Months
(Virginia Beach, VA) - [CBN News] Christians around the globe celebrated Pentecost Sunday yesterday. For thousands of churches in America, it was a day to worship together for the first time in months.
There's a reason they chose the birthday of the Church to open up their doors.
At the New Life Christian Church in Virginia Beach, Christians gathered together for the first time in several months.
They followed strict safety measures including masks on during the service and sitting several feet apart. But those restrictions didn't dampen the excitement of finally being back together.
"Oh, it feels so good," said church member Carol Watts. I could have just cried, you know, just to be able to come to church. Oh, it's such a peace."

Reading the Bible Together
WELCOME TO OUR BIBLE READATHON!
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)
> > > Reading the Word of God over our nation, six nights per week!! ALL NIGHT LONG!
We are now reading the Word of God every night (except on Sunday mornings) from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EDT. We are reading through the whole Word, from Genesis to Revelation, and beginning again in Genesis when finished. [As of this writing, over the past three years, we have now "read through" the entire Word of God sixty-five times, nonstop. Hallelujah!]
Our numbers of readers continues to grow over time. All are welcome to join, as we use "the weapons of OUR warfare" to confront our enemy and BRING HIM DOWN through the LOVE of our Messiah and, by faith, setting captives free!
Our conference number is: 712-432-0075. The access code is: 206425#.
Please call at any time from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EST! EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN OUR "WARFARE IN THE NIGHT", USING THE WEAPON OF HIS WARFARE - THE WORD OF GOD!
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
> > > A footnote: 2020 has been declared "the Year of the Bible."
Hallelujah!!
Please join us as, together, we "soak the very atmosphere of our nation" in the WORD OF GOD!
In closing, let us decree together that . . .
