The forces of darkness behind this animosity think nothing of putting the whole planet at stake to achieve their aims. They carry an intense hatred and care for nothing else except to gain power and to carry out their ancient revenge. Death means nothing to them.

Their homeland has been stripped from them by the people of Israel.<ref>In November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a plan that divided the former British mandate of Palestine into two states: one majority Arab and one majority Jewish. The Palestinian Arabs rejected the plan and attacked Jewish civilian areas and paramilitary targets. Following Israel’s declaration of independence in May 1948, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Transjordan attacked the new state of Israel, but Israeli forces soundly defeated the Arab armies, and Israel took control of much of the territory that would have been allocated to the Arab state. During the war, 700,000 Palestinian Arabs fled from their homes or were expelled by Zionist militias. Many refugees from the war expected to return once the fighting had ceased, but Israel made it illegal for them to return and brought in Jewish settlers to occupy the abandoned houses. | ||
An event that accelerated the Palestinian exodus was the April 14, 1948, attack on Deir Yassin, an Arab village near Jerusalem, carried out by Irgun, a Jewish terrorist organization. The attackers “killed most of its inhabitants—240 men, women, and children—and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem” (Isidore Abramowitz et al., letter to the ''New York Times'', published December 4, 1948, quoted by the messenger, July 18, 1982). Irgun also carried out attacks on the British administration in Palestine, including bombing the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, resulting in 91 deaths. Another wave of Palestinians fled as refugees during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In the decades following the war, taking of Palestinian lands to build Jewish settlements accelerated, and by the late 1980s, the Israeli government had taken about 40% of the land that had been occupied by Palestinians on the West Bank. | |||
For a comprehensive legal analysis of the taking of Palestinian land, see Stacy Howett, “Palestinian Private Property Rights in Israel and the Occupied Territories,” '''Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law''', 34:1, November 2000. [https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/vjtl/vol34/iss1/3/ https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/vjtl/vol34/iss1/3/]. | |||
This taking of Palestinian land continues today. For contemporary accounts, see: Norwegian Refugee Council, “[https://www.nrc.no/news/2023/august/west-bank-entire-palestinian-communities-disappeared-due-to-israeli-settler-violence/ West Bank: Entire Palestinian communities disappeared due to Israeli settler violence]”; Al Jazeera, “[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/20/silent-annexation-settlers-dispossess-west-bank-bedouins-amid-israel-war ‘Silent annexation’: Settlers dispossess West Bank Bedouins amid Israel war]”; Wikipedia, “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_demolition_of_Palestinian_property Israeli demolition of Palestinian property]”; UN OCHA, “[https://www.ochaopt.org/data/demolition Data on demolition and displacement in the West Bank]”; and Isabel DeBre, “[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-ramps-up-demolition-of-palestinian-homes-in-jerusalem Israel ramps up demolition of Palestinian homes in Jerusalem],” AP/PBS.</ref> And therefore, because the whole world has neglected to hear their cause or give a just and lasting answer, they have taken it upon themselves to form their Palestine Liberation Organization with Yasser Arafat at the head, which has become militant. You always get fallen ones in the midst who will then ruin the very cause and image of the just cause of the people. And therefore, on all sides there is right and wrong—human relativity.<ref>Elizabeth Clare Prophet, lecture on Israel, July 1, 1982.</ref> | |||

But it will not be hard for you to imagine very long, for having established this tie you will begin to feel the waves and the currents of this turbulence. I call upon you to enter the stillness of your heart, to go into the secret chamber, to practice the exercises and meditations which have been graciously given to you in preparation for the hour when you would be called upon in a very deliberate and direct way to hold the balance for the Middle East which is the white-fire core of the very earth itself. | Understand, then, that when the tie is extended heart to heart and soul to soul you, then, make contact with the energies of immense turbulence and turmoil which are in the Middle East today.

Beloved ones, you must not only make the calls but you must realize that upon you individually—each and every one across the face of the earth—is the daily responsibility to set aside all that is not necessary to your life for the establishment of the ascended master consciousness.... | Beloved ones, you must not only make the calls but you must realize that upon you individually—each and every one across the face of the earth—is the daily responsibility to set aside all that is not necessary to your life for the establishment of the ascended master consciousness.... | ||
In the early hours of this morning, I sent my messenger contact all teaching centers, for in those hours we had not the reservoir of energy to continue to stay the mounting tide darkness being fomented in the Arab world in objection to Sadat. It was as though the well had run dry just as you feel when the is not enough money in the account to pay your current bills. Beloved ones, we use every erg of energy that you invoke in your [[Keepers of the Flame]] services. And when you fail to appear Saturday night or you withdraw yourselves early, just that moment, just that much candlepower is withdrawn and the multiplication factor is reduced. We, then, have used all of the energies given hour by hour this week to allay those conditions to hold back the tide of darkness that this meeting might take place. And by four this morning we required an increase of light, and therefore we called upon you to increase your calls, and therefore I sent the call for a vigil for America and for freedom and for the resolution of differences in the Middle East to continue throughout this day until the midnight hour. | In the early hours of this morning, I sent my messenger contact all teaching centers, for in those hours we had not the reservoir of energy to continue to stay the mounting tide darkness being fomented in the Arab world in objection to Sadat.

There must be compromise on both sides. And the factions in the Arab world outside of Sadat seem not willing to compromise. In fact, many Arabs do not even care to recognize that Israel exists at all, because Israel was formed out of Arab territory at the conclusion of World War II by the United Nations. The Arabs feel that Israel is territory that has been stolen from them by an international body over which they have had no say. The Israelis feel that this is their homeland established for thousands of years and they have a right to this land, especially in the view of the slaughter of the Jews during the Second World War. So we find no matter what is right or wrong on either side of the question that cosmic justice is outworking. | There must be compromise on both sides.

Sarah, the wife of Abraham, who gave birth to Isaac, who became the head of the Jews, turned away Hagar, the bondswoman of Abraham and the mother of Ishmael, her child conceived by Abraham. | Sarah, the wife of Abraham, who gave birth to Isaac, who became the head of the Jews, turned away Hagar, the bondswoman of Abraham and the mother of Ishmael, her child conceived by Abraham.<ref>For the Biblical account of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, and Ishmael, see Genesis chapters 16, 17 and 21.</ref> The generations of Ishmael are the entire Arab peoples. And, therefore, when [Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin, and Shimon Peres] spoke today, there was mention of our father Abraham. Arabs and Jews recognize their common father Abraham, and yet there has been this division among them because of the division and enmity between their mothers. Hagar and Ishmael out in the desert became the Arab people, and the Arab people inherited the desert. They also inherited Israel when the Jews were dispersed because of disobedience to the Laws of God. | ||
Now the Jews have returned, as they say, according to the fulfillment of prophecy. | Now the Jews have returned, as they say, according to the fulfillment of prophecy.<ref>There are many passages in the Old Testament prophets that speak of the tribes of Israel being gathered together again (e.g. Deut. 30:1–5; Isa. 11:11–12; Jer. 29:14; Ezek. 20:41–42), and many Jews and evangelical Christians see modern Israel as the fulfillment of these prophecies. However, it is no longer possible for the twelve tribes to be traced by physical descent: one reason is that the ten northern tribes lost their identity after they were deported to Syria in 721 B.C., and only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and some Levites retained their identity as Jews. Therefore the twelve tribes are traced today by reincarnation rather than by bloodlines. The messenger has explained that these prophecies refer to the gathering of the reincarnated twelve tribes in America, the New Jerusalem. See [[Twelve tribes of Israel]]</ref> And it is time for the resolution of the conflict between the mother energies. There is no conflict with Abraham. The conflict comes with Sarah and Hagar. So it is by the initiation of the Mother flame, her crucifixion in this hour, that all peoples come to a resolution. And so let us invoke the Mother flame, which is the white-fire core of purity that is focused in the Middle East, in Serapis Bey’s ascension temple. And out of the white light of the Mother, let us visualize all races and peoples coming into love because their mothers have both been the object of the love of Abraham, the great patriarch. And their mother truly is the Cosmic Mother, for the Cosmic Mother is in all mothers. | ||
And so if we can tackle in our decrees this misqualification of energy in the Matter body—fire, air, water and earth—the misqualification through the four types of animal magnetism, we will be getting at the very core of the conflict. The core of the conflict, then, must be decreed on from that starting point, from that hatred that was first in Sarah and Hagar, and as it has been translated through these generations.... | And so if we can tackle in our decrees this misqualification of energy in the Matter body—fire, air, water and earth—the misqualification through the four types of animal magnetism, we will be getting at the very core of the conflict.

Many souls are brought low by the controversies that have not ceased in this part of the world. The continual conflicts draw the energies of darkness from the underworld—a darkness that becomes darker day by day. There ought not to be war in the Middle East, nor should the youth of these nations be denied life because of political issues, nonresolution and continual warfare. | Many souls are brought low by the controversies that have not ceased in this part of the world.

Our calling is to be watchmen on the wall, mitigating world karma and standing with the archangels to intercede on behalf of millions. The answer to the dilemma is in prayer and spiritual work. Heaven can have great influence upon the affairs of earth, and more things are wrought by prayer than we can dream of. | Our calling is to be watchmen on the wall, mitigating world karma and standing with the archangels to intercede on behalf of millions.

Implore the hosts of heaven to intercede to resolve the conflict in the Middle East, prevent war and the escalation of war into global warfare and the destruction of the planet as a platform for evolution of mankind. Decree in God’s name that the perfection of Almighty God shall take dominion in the crisis in the Middle East and all over the world, wherever the pain and anguish of hearts brings about destruction, brother against brother. Pray in the name of the Prince of Peace that peace will come to the hearts of all men everywhere. | Implore the hosts of heaven to intercede to resolve the conflict in the Middle East, prevent war and the escalation of war into global warfare and the destruction of the planet as a platform for evolution of mankind.
