Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus (Yeshua) said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. [Mat 22:26-39]
Planned
Rescue of Christians in Afghanistan
I am Canadian, but this touched my heart. Please pray for the safety of pilots, flight crew, Rudy Atallah, and all those being rescued, and those who are hoping to be rescued.
Glenn Beck is
written up as an American conservative political commentator and television and
radio personality. It is said by some that he is Mormon and many people have
come against him over the years. Personally, I do not know much about him.
And frankly,
at this point, I don’t care because what he is doing is to be respected and
honoured. One would have to have a cold heart or rebel against God's commandments to not praise God for this planned mission, and to pray for Yahweh to grant favour. Label the mission humanitarian if you want, but if you call yourself a Christian
or a disciple of Yeshua/Jesus, search your own heart first.
Glenn Beck put
out a plea to his audience (I’m not one of his audience – this information just
came to me this night – it’s about 2:15 a.m. at the moment).
His plea
was for his audience to “give until it hurts” to what is called the Nazarene
Fund, so that they could get airplanes, helicopters and staff to fly people out
of Afghanistan. On his show, Glenn Beck brought on Rudy Atallah, Chief Operating
Manager of the Nazarene Fund ([retired] Lt. Col of U.S. Air Force, served 21
years, Special Operations, Aviation Intelligence Counterterrorism, served on the
National Security Council, advising the president).

Glenn: […] can you tell us what you’ve
done.
Rudy Atallah: Uh, yes Glenn, uh, I’m uh, working
with uh, several of uh, our partners, uh, in, uh, in the Middle East, and uh, right
now, uh…
Glenn
Beck: Hold on just
a second; hold on just a second... I’ve never heard him use so many ‘um’s’ and
this is because Rudy cannot give very much information, uh, for security uh, reasons,
so he’s going to be a little, a little vague here, but…go ahead.
Rudy: We’re trying to extract several
thousand people out of Afghanistan. The problem is getting to the airport; it’s
been extremely difficult. These individuals that we are helping are mostly
women and children, many of them converted to Christianity. They’ve been in
safehouses for a long time.
In 2009,
the Afghan government changed the ID cards and forced people to declare their
religious affiliations. So, these individuals did not want to renounce Christ,
so they already claimed themselves on their ID cards as Christians, so now they’re
hunkered down, afraid to go to the airport because the Taliban is looking for
them.
From what I
understand, the Taliban has a list of some of these people. We’ve got some
aircraft already waiting to take off; we’re testing some of the airfields to
see if we can extract them from there. All the borders are closed, the land
borders are closed, so we have to create an airbridge to get these individuals
out.
I’ve got
folks on the ground that are working…as I said, we’ve got partner organizations
that I’m working very closely with. I was up last night and working all day
yesterday, trying to coordinate some of this stuff. I’ve been providing some of
my input and knowledge in how to move the aircraft and what to do.
The goal is
to get these folks extracted safely to uh…we’re working on different
destinations to uh…unfortunately, I’m not at liberty as you said, to say much
until we get them out, but also, some of them are pastors with families. These
people are under extreme, extreme danger because the Taliban wants to make an
example of them.
Glen: Yeah,
they’ll be crucified, so Rudy, what is this going to cost?
Rudy: Right
now, one of the charter companies that we’re working with is telling us that it’s
going to be about $4,000 per person for chartering the plane, and having the
flight crew to go in and out. As I said, we have north of several thousand
people, so we’re going to have to raise quite a bit of money to get these folks
out.
The planes
are ready; they’re in place. We’re ready to move forward, hoping in the next 48
hours to get quite a few folks out. So, any support we can get from our
partners would be extremely appreciated. Every life counts; so we’re doing our
best to get them out.
Glenn: Okay,
um…okay, ok….wow, we’re looking at an enormous amount of money. Here’s the ‘ask’
of you. I want you to…I want you to give today, if you can, to the point of
where it hurts. That could be $1, could be $10…might be $100.
I’m just
sitting here…uh, an amount of money that I would feel an impact on, for me, is
different than for you. Rudy, I’ll pony up the first 100 grand. Now let’s have
the audience see what they can do. We have…how many thousands of people do we
need to get out?
Rudy:
Without giving exact numbers, it’s north of a few thousand people.
Glenn:
North of 5?
Rudy: North
of a few thousand. It’s going to be, uh, let me just say it this way. It’s
between 3000 and 5000 people.
Glenn: Rudy,
thank you very much. When, when can we start? I mean, just wrote for the first 40.
So, when can we start? How much money do we need to start?
Rudy: Um…if,
is, as much as we can. Right now we’ve got the charter planes standing by. We
have to give them a down payment to start flying – and we’ve got some planes we’ve
already chartered, and some folks are volunteering some of their aircraft, but
with the amount of people we have to do several rotations in, and so any amount…
Glenn: Geez
Rudy, we have so few friends down on the ground. I just pray for you and
everyone involved because I know how dangerous this is going to be. [Glenn Beck
becomes emotional and tears up, endeavouring to keep strong.] Thank you, Rudy. Thank you…
Rudy: Thank
you. Thank you for your support
Glenn: You
bet. Here’s how I want you to donate today. Go to the NazareneFund.org. Every single
penny that you can come up with will go to flying those planes and getting
those people out. We need obviously an enormous amount of money. I was not
aware that it was that many people. I’ve only gotten sketchy details throughout
the night.
I didn’t realize
we were talking that many people. These are people that are marked for what
they believe in. This is why in 2016 we started the Nazarene Fund. Don’t wait
around for anyone else to do it. Don’t wait around.
PLEASE…go
to the NazareneFund.org and donate. You
can also donate right through mercuryone.org,
if hopefully, the Nazarene Fund.org is too slow for you, you can just go to mercuryone.org
and just mark it for the Nazarene Fund. We need your help as soon as possible.
I ask that
you give until it hurts today because these people are entirely alone. And they
will be crucified. If you are marked as a Christian with Taliban, you know what
will happen to them. We can get them out. Be an Oskar Schindler today. Go to
the NazareneFund.org – that’s the NazareneFund.org

transcript]
I have no
fancy software or apps, so I just finished doing the transcript. It is now 3:28
a.m. Monday, August 23, 2021. I was going to post an article called “We Have
Not the Time”, to be followed by a 4 or 5-part series “Whose Voice Do You Hear
and Obey?”, but I was moved to post this.
Update
Even this news is three days old, and was posted on The Blaze website. As stated, I received the link, but I cannot access anything recently posted on that website as I am not subscribed. Nevertheless, after the video was posted on YouTube, Glenn Beck’s audience raised a jaw-dropping $22 million in two days to pay the way for Christians trapped in Afghanistan to be rescued.
In 24 hours
alone his audience (subscribed) donated $9,334,652.24. Glenn Beck was overwhelmed
and greatly moved by the generosity of his audience. When the Nazarene Fund had
reached the halfway mark, Beck stated:
“I have
until tomorrow to raise the second half,” he added. “You’ve given so much. The
Nazarene Fund has boots on the ground to do what needs to be done, to save the
thousands of Christians who are in grave danger. We have the helicopters and
the planes standing by.
This is a
logistical nightmare…but they are marked for death. So as long as we have the
money, as long as our Marines can hold the airports, and as long as there is a
Christian left in hiding, we will do what we need to do. But we need God’s
help.
We need
Divine Providence like we’ve never needed it before. Time is running out.
People are clinging to the hope that someone will remember them and arise, and
save them from the blackness that is the Taliban.”
The Blaze gave
an update reporting that by the end of Thursday’s radio program, August 19th,
2021, the donations had reached #13 million. By Friday morning, the Nazarene
Fund donations exceeded #$20 million. I have no further updates.
Information
came to me with the following link: TheBlaze.com
(to read the report from Glenn Beck’s site).
As wonderful
as the news is, and I do pray for the safety of all and a successful mission,
we can almost see how Satan and his minions plan to take advantage of every
opportunity to quickly bring the world into the beast system and under control.
Will Globalists
Now Announce a New Variant?
The report from the State Department in Washington claims that Afghanistan is another hotspot for the coronavirus pandemic. How convenient.
The
department stated: “A blanket humanitarian waiver has been implemented for
COVID testing for all persons the U.S. government is relocating from
Afghanistan,” the department said. The report goes on to say, “Medical exams,
including coronavirus tests, had been required for evacuees prior to Taliban’s weekend
takeover of Kabul, which added extra urgency to efforts to get at-risk Afghans
out of the country.
US says
Afghanistan evacuees don’t need COVID test. Read the report at the following
link. I realize this news is a few days old, but I only just got the report a
couple of hours ago.

Associated Press reports via Fox

Now the
urgency that I sensed in Yeshua’s message strongly prompting His people to
spend more quality time with him makes sense. Things are moving swiftly.
Next post
will be: We Have Not the Time
for His glory alone

Praying for all the Christians trapped in Afghanistan and for their rescuers. May the Lord place a shield of protection and a holy wall of fire round about them.
ReplyDeleteI stand in agreement. May the Lord (Yahweh) be glorified through this. How we need the return of our Messiah Jesus (Yeshua). Maranatha! Stay close to our Saviour and He will guide us and keep us strong, confident and balanced.
