Beef and Vegetable Stew


Beef and Vegetable Stew

6 to 8 boneless fancy beef ribs (nice name for roast beef) from my favorite HEB

Used 1 32oz vegetable broth another 32oz of water and two packs beef bullion

This makes a large batch in a 6 quart slow cooker for a big family or several days of meals for a small family.

empty croc

Before prepping vegetables pour the broth, water and bullion into the crock pot, add the boneless beef ribs and turn on high. Need a good sharp knife and sharpener to keep it that way. Also need good peeler for removing the vegetable skins. I prefer an offset Y peeler and it looks like I will need to buy one.

Palestinians to UNESCO: Western Wall Is Part of Al-Aqsa

Palestinians to UNESCO: Western Wall Is Part of Al-Aqsa

“See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance.”  (2 Chronicles 20:11)
This week, the Palestinian Authority (PA) will take another step in its initiative to deprive the Jewish People of their holy places by seeking Islamic authority over the holiest site of Jewish prayer: the Kotel (Western Wall).
 
The Jewish People consider the Kotel holy because it is a remnant of the Second Temple.
 
Through a proxy contingent, the PA has submitted a new proposal to UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) that claims the Jewish Temple’s last remaining external-support wall is actually part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Challenging the Restoration of Israel

Gog and Magog: Challenging the Restoration of Israel

Wow, talk about setting the International play board.

Russia moves into Syria, at the request of President Bashar al-Assad, with a huge military presence on three bases. Builds up the air facility and starts immediately flying in military hardware and troops. The Syrians are happy they are there and now feel “safe” in their own country again. Russian fighter jets are now patrolling the region and has created a no fly zone warning US jets to stay out of the area as well. In usual fashion our government has been shamed by the bold take over in the region and now seeks to discredit the efforts of Russia to control the advances of ISIS.

When Russia first started their bombing missions the targets were President Obama’s CIA backed rebels that are trying to destroy President Bashar al-Assad. President Obama in usual fashion has disguised his war against Assad as attacks on ISIS.

The four horseman of the Apocalypse

The 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse

The four horseman of the apocalypse as they are commonly known are actually the first four seals to be opened by Jesus Christ and unleash the spirits that have been held in reserve by God for final years of this age. The horse and riders released in order are:

The White horse ridden by the false Christ to conquer.

The Red horse ridden by War with a huge sword to slaughter mete out justice.

The Black horse ridden by Famine to destroy all food crops and animals.

The Green horse ridden by Death followed closely by Hell and the Grave to kill with sword, famine, plagues and the wild animals of the earth. Continue reading The four horseman of the Apocalypse

Receiving the mark of the beast

Receiving the mark of the beast

Receiving the mark of the beast that is written about in Revelation, chapter 13 is not something that will be done lightly and it will not be hidden. The antichrist will want a very visible seal for all to see and more than likely not an RFID or electronic chip that can be hidden under the skin.

Revelation 13:15–18

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Opuntia cactus, known in Israel as “tsabar”

Sabra (Hebrew: צבר‎, pronounced tzabar) is an informal slang term that refers to Israeli Jews born in Israel. The term first appeared in the 1930s to refer to a Jew who had been born in Mandatory Palestine or in Ottoman Palestine (cf. Old Yishuv). Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israelis have used the word to refer to a Jew born anywhere in the Palestine region or Israel.[1][2]

The term alludes to a tenacious, thorny desert plant, known in English as prickly pear, with a thick skin that conceals a sweet, softer interior. The cactus is compared to Israeli Jews, who are supposedly tough on the outside, but delicate and sweet on the inside.

In 2010, over 4,000,000 Israeli Jews (70%) were sabras, with an even greater percentage of Israeli Jewish youths falling into this category.[3]
