The Perfect Storm#1

In the Eyes of the Gentile Nations! 

7 

How beautiful upon the mountains 

Are the feet of him who brings good news, 

Who proclaims peace, 

Who brings glad tidings of good things, 

Who proclaims salvation, 

Who says to Zion, 

“Your God reigns!” 

8 

Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, 

With their voices they shall sing together; 

For they shall see eye to eye 

When the Lord brings back Zion. 

9 

Break forth into joy, sing together, 

You waste places of Jerusalem! 

For the Lord has comforted His people, 

He has redeemed Jerusalem. 

10 

The Lord has made bare His holy arm 

In the eyes of all the nations; 

And all the ends of the earth shall see 

The salvation of our God. ISAIAH 52:7-10.

Shalom, 

The recent hurricane events have compelled me to prepare this 

study to show the relationship that we have with the God of Israel 

and the Jewish People. 

Some will say that God is through with the Jews and the modern 

State of Israel is no different than any other nation. I believe that 

“Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse 

Israel will be cursed!” a promise given by the Almighty Promise 

Keeper. 

The United States has been blessed by supporting Israel. After 

World War II, Israel was founded as a modern nation and the 

United States was the first to recognize this tiny struggling state. 

The United States has prospered greatly in the last 50 years. 

As a student of the Bible, I am skeptical of comparing events in 

the news to Biblical Prophecy.

As a student of the Bible, I am skeptical of comparing events in 

the news to Biblical Prophecy. I am not one to sensationalize 

God, because the Holy One, Blessed be He! is Sensational! There 

is no need to “magnify” the Lord, He is already magnificent. 

Without resorting to newspaper exegesis, I am compelled to share 

this information with you. There is a relationship with the recent 

natural disasters and our treatment of Israel. 

I do believe that there will be no “real” peace until Messiah 

Yeshua (Jesus) returns. God will judge mankind on their 

treatment of “the least of these My Brethren”, the Jewish people. 

(Matthew 24:23-40). Pro-Semitic Sheep “Gentiles” will enter the 

Kingdom, while Anti-Semitic “Goat” Gentiles will be punished. This 

includes dividing the land promised to the Jews!

Joel 3:1-2 

I will also gather all nations, 

And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; 

And I will enter into judgment with them there 

On account of My people, My heritage Israel, 

Whom they have scattered among the nations; 

They have also divided up My land. 

At the end of this Age, Gentile Nations will be Judged by 

their treatment of Israel! This is a biblical fact.

Deuteronomy 11:13 – Human Behavior changes the 

affects the weather. 

13 

‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My 

commandments which I command you today, to love 

the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and 

with all your soul, 14 then I will give you the rain for 

your land in its season, the early rain and the latter 

rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, 

and your oil. 15 And I will send grass in your fields for 

your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ 16 Take 

heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and 

you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, 

17 

lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He 

shut up the heavens so that there be no 

rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish 

quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

The United States Government has place pressure on Israel to 

give up land for peace. The Land of Israel was promised to 

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their descendants. This pressure 

has resulted in judgment on the United States. 

Recent Hurricanes and the major evacuations are a result of 

forcing the Jewish people out of the areas of Gush Katif. On the 

day that the Gaza Strip was declared 'Judenrein‘ “Jewish Free” 

meaning the area was now removed of the impurity. 

Please consider this information prayerfully and note that God is 

as active in the lives of the Jewish people today as he was in the 

days of Moses.

Genesis 12:1 Promises to Abram 

12 Now the Lord had said to Abram: 

“Get out of your country, 

From your family 

And from your father’s house, 

To a land that I will show you. 

I will make you a great nation; 

I will bless you 

And make your name great; 

And you shall be a blessing. 

I will bless those who bless you, 

And I will curse him who curses you; 

And in you all the families of the earth 

shall be blessed.”

Genesis 15:14 LAND Promise 

14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had 

separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look 

from the place where you are— northward, 

southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the 

land which you see I give to you and your 

descendants forever. 16 And I will make your 

descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a 

man could number the dust of the earth, then 

your descendants also could be numbered. 17 

Arise, walk in the land through its length and its 

width, for I give it to you.”

Genesis 15:14 LAND Promise 

14 

And the Lord said to Abram… “Lift your eyes now and look from the 

place where you are— northward, southward, eastward, and 

westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your 

descendants forever. 

This promise was reiterated to: 

To Isaac not Ishmael Genesis 24:3 

To Jacob not Esau Genesis 28:4


The Perfect Storm#1

The Perfect Storm!

This information is based on a book by John McTernan and Bill 

Koenig. These are excellent books but will need to be updated to 

include the recent events which are more convincing than the 

events of the past!

What do these major record-setting events have in common 

* The ten costliest insurance events in U.S. history 

* The Seven costliest hurricanes in U.S. history 

* Three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history 

* The top ten natural disasters in U.S. history ranked by FEMA 

relief coasts. 

* The two largest terrorism events in U.S. history. (Sept. 11 and 

Waco Texas.) 

All of these major catastrophes transpired on the very same day 

or within 24-hours of U.S. presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush 

applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of 

"peace and security," sponsoring major "land for peace" meetings, 

making major public statements pertaining to Israel's covenant 

land and/or calling for a Palestinian state.

October 30, 1991


1991: George Bush opens historic Mid East peace 

conference US President George Bush has encouraged 

Arabs and Israelis to "lay down the past" in his opening 

speech to the Middle East peace conference in Spain. It 

is the first time in 43 years that Israel has sat down with 

all its Arab neighbors to discuss peace. 

"Territorial compromise is essential for peace," said 

President Bush. "We seek peace, real peace. And by real 

peace I mean treaties. If we cannot summon the 

courage to lay down the past for ourselves then let us do 

it for the children."


The invitation, an outcome of compromises by all sides, 

detailed the structure of the Madrid process: 

•An opening conference having no power to impose 

solutions 

•Bilateral talks with the Arab states bordering Israel 

•Talks with the Palestinians on 5-year interim self-rule, 

to be followed by talks on the permanent status 

•Multilateral talks on key regional issues, like refugees.


The Perfect Storm 

Have you seen the Movie 

“The Perfect Storm” it is 

based on this “freak” storm 

that occurred in the North 

Atlantic on the exact day the 

Madrid “Land for Peace” 

Conference was convened. 

Then largest ocean waves 

ever were on this date!

October 30, 1991


As President George H. W. Bush is opening the Madrid (Spain) 

Conference to consider “Land for Peace” in Israel’s Middle East 

role, the“perfect storm” develops in the North Atlantic, creating the 

largest waves ever recorded in that region. The storm travels 

1000 miles from “east to west” instead of the normal “west to east” 

pattern and crashes into the New England Coast. 

Thirty-five foot waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of 

President Bush.

A state by state damage summary reveals the widespread and 

extensive damage caused by the storm and accompanying seas. 

Beach erosion and coastal flooding was severe and widespread, 

even causing damage to lighthouses. Hundreds of homes and 

businesses were either knocked from their foundations or simply 

disappeared. Sea walls, boardwalks, bulkheads, and piers were 

reduced to rubble over a wide area. Numerous small boats were 

sunk at their berths. Flooding was extensive invading homes and 

closing roads and airports. Former President Bush's home in 

Kennebunkport, ME suffered severe damage as windows were 

blown out, water flooded the building, and some structural 

damage also occurred.

August 23, 1992

August 23, 1992 

August 23, 1992: Hurricane Andrew—When the Madrid 

Conference moves to Washington DC and the peace talks 

resume, Hurricane Andrew, one of the worst natural disaster 

ever to hit America, comes ashore and produces an 

estimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000 

homeless in Florida.

August 23, 1992 

Hurricane Andrew was one of the most destructive and 

expensive hurricanes to hit the United States. It raged 

from August 16 to August 28, 1992. 

This tropical cyclone affected the northwestern Bahamas, 

then southern Florida in the greater Miami area, doing 

much damage, crossing the Florida peninsula and the 

Gulf of Mexico before again making landfall in southcentral 

Louisiana where it caused further damage. 

Andrew is second only to Hurricane Katrina in financial 

damage.

January 16, 1994 

January 16, 1994: Northridge Earthquake, California— 

President Bill Clinton meets with Syria's President Hafez 

el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement 

with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights. 

Within 24 hours, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks 

Southern California, This quake, centered in Northridge, 

becomes the third most destructive natural disaster to hit 

the United States, behind Hurricane Andrew, and 

Katrina.

January 16, 1994 

Clinton's decision to meet one-on-one with Hafiz al-Asad 

the Father of Bashir Asad of Syria, on January 16th. 

That meeting is a terrible idea. It ignores the fact that 

Asad responds to U.S. concessions by thumbing his nose 

in our face. It rewards him for sponsoring a dozen 

Palestinian groups trying to destroy Israel. But what to do 

now After all, the Clinton-Asad meeting is already in the 

works. January 16th would be a great date for President 

Clinton to come down with a sudden case of the 

diplomatic flu.

Hurricane George


Hurricane George—As Secretary of State Albright works on the 

final details of an agreement in which Israel would give up 13 

percent of Yesha (Judah and Samaria), Hurricane George slams 

into the United States Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and gusts 

up to 175 mph. The hurricane hits the coast and stalled. On 

September 28, Clinton meets with Yasser Arafat and Netanyahu at 

the White House to finalize this land deal. Later, Arafat addresses 

the United Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian 

state by May 1999, as Hurricane George pounds the Gulf Coast, 

causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact time that Arafat departs 

the country, the storm begins to dissipate.

Texas Floods 

October 15-22, 1998:—On October 15, 1998, Arafat and 

Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland. The 

talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving 

up 13 percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude on 

October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and 

tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is deluged 

with rain. The rain and flooding in Texas continue until October 22 

and then subside. The floods ravage 25 percent of Texas and 

leave over one billion dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton 

declares this section of Texas a major disaster area.


Torrential rains over south and southeast Texas during the 

weekend of October 17-18, 1998, led to widespread and deadly 

flooding. A total of 31 people died during this event, and property 

damage estimates approached three quarters of a billion dollars.

May 3, 1999 

May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super Tornado—On the day 

that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with 

Jerusalem as the capital, the most powerful tornado storm system 

ever to hit the United States sweeps across Oklahoma and 

Kansas. The winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed 

ever recorded. The declaration is postponed to December 1999 at 

the request of President Clinton, whose letter to Arafat 

encourages him in his "aspirations for his own land." He also 

writes that the Palestinians have a right to "determine their own 

future on their own land" and that they deserve to"live free, today, 

tomorrow and forever."

May 3, 1999

August 15th, 2005 

The United States Department of State has 

made it clear to Prime Minister Ariel 

Sharon. It wants the Jews out of the Katif 

district of Gaza by August 15th, with no 

excuses. 

Sharon's answer: "This is what the US 

State Department is demanding that I do 

and I must do it."

Jewish 

State 

declared in 

1948 

Recognized 

by the UN

War of Independence 1948-49 

Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion's 

declaration in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948, 

that Israel was an independent state 

triggered an invasion by Egypt, Syria, 

Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq. Over the 

next 15 months, the Israelis expanded their 

holdings to northern Galilee and southern 

Negev. The ensuing armistice divided 

Jerusalem between Israel and Transjordan, 

but the fate of 400,000 Palestinian Arabs 

who fled Israel during the fighting and were 

in camps near the border was not resolved. 

Transjordan annexex the area known as 

the West Bank (west bank of the Jordan 

River) later changes it’s name to Jordan.

Six-Day War 1967 

In May 1967, Egypt closed the Gulf of 

Aqaba to Israeli shipping and began 

mobilizing its forces to attack Israel. Syria 

and Jordan also mobilized against Israel. In 

response, Israel launched a strike. Starting 

June 5, the Israeli air force destroyed 

Egypt's planes on the ground. Enabled by 

air superiority throughout the region, Israeli 

tank columns and infantry captured the 

Sinai Peninsula in three days. Elsewhere, 

the Israelis overran the Golan Heights, the 

West Bank of the Jordan River, including 

the Old City of Jerusalem (which Israel later 

annexed), and Gaza. The war was over by 

June 10, ended by a U.N.-arranged ceasefire.

DISPUTED TERRITORY 

Before the Six Day War, the Gaza Strip was 

under Egyptian rule, and Judea & Samaria 

(the West Bank) were under Jordanian Rule. 

The Palestinians never had an autonomy in 

these areas (or in any other area, for that 

matter). They didn’t start an uprising against 

Egypt or Jordan.

Jews are forced out of their 

homes in Gush Katif, GAZA

Gush Katif 

The Jewish communities in the 

Gaza Strip were forced out of 

their homes in August of 2005 

The United States caved in to 

terrorism by putting pressure on 

Ariel Sharon to force the Israeli 

military to remove Jews from 

land for a future Palestinian 

State. George W. Bush has 

declared he wanted to see a 

Palestinian State by 2005. 

Even if this happens, does the 

area have to be free of Jews

Gush Katif


Gush Katif 

The Jewish communities in Gaza could be compared to the resort 

communities in Scottsdale, Arizona. These people have lived here for 

over 50 years. They do not live in tents or trailers. These were beautiful 

communities providing Israel with a buffer from it’s hostile neighbors.

In line with Sharon and Bush's decree for making Gush Katif 

'Judenrein‘ Jewish Free- on Sunday 28 August Gush Katif was 

declared "empty of (Jewish) residents," 

Most of Gush Katif's some 10,000 evicted residents found 

themselves without homes or jobs, without money, and their 

assets either in military stores in containers somewhere in the 

desert or exposed to looting in their abandoned homes, They 

found themselves virtually on Israeli streets, irrespective of 

government claims to the contrary .

The next day Katrina struck New Orleans, and 2 days later New 

Orleans was declared 'uninhabitable', leaving up to 500 000 

people (in the greater area) homeless. Looting was rife in the 

devastated areas, with police running out of fuel for their vehicles 

and no jails for locking up looters!

Gulf Coast, USA 

Aug 29, 2005 — As Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans 

on Monday, it has turned one of America's most charming 

cities into a vast cesspool tainted with toxic chemicals, 

human waste and even coffins released by floodwaters 

from the city's legendary cemeteries. The above-ground 

tombs of New Orleans, the origin of the nickname "City of 

the Dead" have an interesting history. Early settlers in the 

area struggled with different methods to bury the dead 

who never seemed to want to stay below the ground. The 

city's high water table means that holes more than a few 

feet deep fill with water - causing an airtight casket to 

literally float and eventually push its way back out of the 

ground.


The bodies of the dead were dug up, against Jewish Law, and 

reburied outside of Gush Katif . 

The Jews were FORCED to remove the dead from their cemeteries 

because the Palestinians did not even want dead Jews in the Gaza Strip. 

Jewish Biblical Law prevents the disturbance of a grave. Regardless, 

pressure from the United States resulted in violation of this Biblical Law. 

Imagine digging up your relatives that have been dead for the past 50 

years This is an outrage!


The bodies of the dead were dug up, against Jewish Law, and 

reburied outside of Gush Katif .

Dead bodies were floating in the 

streets, even coffins in the historic 

grave yard were washed up!

Mark 4:35 

35 

On the same day, when evening had come, He said to 

them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when 

they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat 

as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And 

a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, 

so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, 

asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, 

“Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing” 

39 

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 

“Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great 

calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful How 

is it that you have no faith” 41 And they feared exceedingly, 

and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the 

wind and the sea obey Him!”
