Armageddon Predicted as Jews Call for Third Jerusalem Temple to Be Built

Image
The first two Holy Temples of the Israeli city ceased to exist centuries ago, having been demolished at the hands of the Babylonians and later by the Romans. Despite multiple calls to rebuild the temple, they have remained largely unheard. Biblical conspiracy theorists have voiced a warning that the erection of a third Holy Temple in Jerusalem, which religious activists have recently called for, inevitably carries Jesus Christ’s imminent return.Jewish eschatological teachings have it that the Holy Temple will rise up from the ground for the third time when Armageddon nears. The concerns were fuelled last week by the powerful Jewish rabbi community known under the name Sanhedrin, who penned letter ahead of an approaching election to two mayoral candidates, requesting to  finally rebuild the temple, after the first two Holy Temples constructed on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount centuries ago were wiped out by the Babylonians and then by the Romans. The location has housed no temple si

France’s Macron Sends Clear Message to Trump: “Nationalism is a Betrayal of Patriotism”

More than 60 world leaders gathered in Paris Sunday to mark 100 years since the end of World War I, and although the general theme was unity, President Donald Trump seemed determined to stand apart. While world leaders took a bus to the Arc de Triomphe and walked side-by-side as bells tolled to mark the exact moment 100 years ago when the war ended, Trump arrived with his own  motorcade . Russian President Vladimir Putin also arrived separately  and walked in by himself to the ceremony that included, among others, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump arrived separately “due to security protocols.” But his insistence on standing apart didn’t sit well with others, particularly after Trump drew fire for his decision to cancel his appearance at a memorial service Saturday because of rain. When it came time for the speeches, French President

Image
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has taken a veiled swipe at Manchester City star Sergio Aguero before Sunday’s derby showdown at the Etihad Stadium. Mourinho said of Aguero that “there are little things in his game I am not a fan of”, although he declined to elaborate further when asked.   Aguero, City’s all-time leading scorer, was criticised heavily by Mourinho after a 0-0 draw with United at the Etihad in April 2017. United midfielder Marouane Fellaini was sent off for a headbutt on the Argentina international, with Mourinho suggesting the striker’s reaction had been over-dramatic. “I saw Aguero in the tunnel but (there was) no broken nose, no broken head, (and) his face is nice as always,” Mourinho said at the time.Mourinho was quick to pay tribute to Aguero’s qualities as a goalscorer before United’s latest clash with arch rivals City, but he dropped a strong hint that he believes there is a dark side to his game. “I only fear when I play against him. I admire h

They went as far as putting pressure on the British government to close out studios in London, that too failed. They purchased Satlink  a n Israeli company that provided us satellite services. They did this through a company in the United States. As soon as the company assumed control of Satlink, they terminated our contract. We moved to another supplier and have been with this supplier for 5 years now.

Esperance Tunis wins the caf champion's league trophy by defeating Al Ahly

Image
Esperance got the goals they required to come back in impressive fashion from a two-goal deficit and win the CAF Champions League with a 3-0 home win over Al Ahly on Friday. The Tunisian giants were propelled to their third title by 24-year-old Saad Beguir and his midfield partner Anice Badri. Beguir's double reduced the deficit in the second leg in front of 60,000 rabid fans at the Stade Rades, on the outskirts of the Tunisian capital, before Badri put the outcome beyond doubt with a goal on the counterattack just before the end. Ahly had been fancied to extend their record run of titles after going into the game with a   3-1 advantage from last Friday's controversial first leg in Alexandria . However, Beguir and his teammates had other ideas. His pair of goals came with eight minutes of each other and were due reward for Esperance's attacking enterprise, which they were slow to show at the beginning of the game but then got going as they slowly took con
