He Sendeth Rain on the Just and Unjust
November 29, 2015
Dear Pastors:
The Scriptures teach in Mt 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
God Almighty will send that rain, then allow it to freeze as HE has done in our case here in Piedmont, Oklahoma. We have trees down all the way around our house. But, so far, we have not had any of the great big ones come through the roof.

With my wife going through hip replacement recuperation, this ice storm has been very difficult upon her. But, ole jav is very proud of the woman whom God allowed him to marry 53-1/2 years ago. Continue please to pray for her.
‘No need knee-jerk reaction’: Israel reveals Russian warplane ‘crossed’ into its airspace from Syria

A Russian warplane recently entered Israeli-controlled airspace from Syria, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon told local media. The brief intrusion was resolved quietly, with Yaalon noting “we must not automatically react and shoot them down when an error occurs."
"There was a slight intrusion a mile (1.6 kilometers) deep by a Russian plane from Syria into our airspace, but it was immediately resolved and the Russian plane returned towards Syria," Yaalon told Army Radio.
"It was apparently an error by the pilot who was flying near the Golan," he said without elaborating when the incident had occurred.
Earlier, General Amos Gilad, Yaalon’s close aide, said such incidents occur occasionally. To prevent misunderstandings, Israel and Russia have arranged a “hotline", information sharing and joint air exercises.
"Russian planes do not intend to attack us, which is why we must not automatically react and shoot them down when an error occurs," Yaalon also said.

The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the statements.
On Monday, a Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber in a rebel-held area in Syria, not far from the Turkish border. The 45-year-old pilot, Lieutenant-Colonel Oleg Peshkov, was shot dead by Turkmen militia while parachuting to the ground.
Turkey maintains the Russian bomber had breached their airspace and ignored numerous warnings.
However, the surviving pilot, navigator Captain Konstantin Murakhtin, says at no point did Turkish aircraft attempt to contact them prior to the attack.
Russia has called the incident “a stab in the back,” with President Putin ordering sanctions be imposed against Turkey.

IDF Slams Government’s Reactive Anti-Terror Tactics
Big Palestinian Terror Attack Seen Building up for Lack of Proactive Counter-Measures
The current wave of Palestinian terror, which kicked off on Sept. 13, claimed 225 Israeli casualties between then and Nov. 24 - 22 killed and 203 wounded, including 22 in serious condition, 33 with moderate-to-serious injuries and 146 lightly wounded. Another 85 people, many of them children, were traumatized.
In comparison, 72 Palestinian terrorists were killed in the course of attacks and about 750 were wounded.
The conviction is taking root in senior IDF ranks that the current rate of daily stabbings, car attacks, and shooting by individual terrorists can’t go on for much longer without escalating.
This sense is even more pronounced among the brigade and division commanders serving in the West Bank and Palestinian Authority-ruled areas.
These officers are bracing for the low-intensity, albeit nerve-wracking, terror tactics to escalate into a spectacular attack in an Israeli city with dozens of Israelis killed and wounded. The conflict would then tip over into a major Palestinian-Israeli conflagration.
This expectation is grounded in an analysis of the current situation:
The wave of terror is much broader than revealed! 1. When Israelis or Palestinians are killed or injured in terrorist attacks, these incidents are invariably reported. But many other Palestinian-Israeli encounters – even shootings – that end without casualties, are not. So on any given day in the last two months, five attacks may be reported, while the public is not informed of another 70-90 incidents 2. Most Israeli military and intelligence officers judge that the counter-terror policies conducted by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon are not working and may indeed be counterproductive, in that they leave the way open for the Palestinians to calibrate the violence.
3. Security measures are clamped down reactively, instead of proactively.
At the end of last week, five Israelis were murdered in one day in attacks by Palestinians from the Hebron district of the southern West Bank. The high number of fatalities brought the prime minister and defense minister rushing over to Gush Etzion to announce the new measures.
The Gush Etzion settlement bloc is located in the Hebron district with 70,000 Jewish residents and two main towns, Efrat and Beitar. They are surrounded by ten times that number of Palestinians in the towns of Hebron, Bethlehem, Halhoul and Yatta and farming villages.
The security measures imposed can’t be enforced! The security measures included roadblocks on side roads from the Palestinian villages to Route 60, the main artery of the district; a series of new local Israeli command centers, each responsible for a small area; and temporary bans on Palestinian access to Jewish locations, which meant that thousands of Palestinians employed at Jewish places of business could not go to work.
4. The IDF commanders on the spot never believed that these measures would work for more than a few days, before the attacks resumed.
There is not enough manpower to enforce them, they say, without a massive call-up of reserves, which is not approved by Netanyahu and Ya’alon.
And meanwhile, the local Palestinians are finding many ways to circumvent them.
5. The prime minister and defense minister are certain that their policies are effective in one place, Jerusalem, where daily Palestinian attacks have dropped from several a day, to one every 7 to 10 days.
The massive presence of security forces on the streets and in public places ensure that any attacker is shot dead on the spot.
But what the security forces call the “line of fire,” which runs from the Muslim neighborhoods of the capital to the Jewish districts, is invisible to the public eye, except to its victims. There, the stabbings and shootings have given way to firebombs and fireworks tossed night after night at the homes of Jewish neighbors, causing damage or fires, making the streets dangerous and terrifying householders.
An American general’s thankless job between Palestinians and Israelis! 6. Few Israelis or Palestinians know the name of US Maj. Gen. Frederick Rudesheim, who has an office at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv and quietly does his best to perform the thankless task of Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Several times a week, he travels to Ramallah, where he talks to Gen. Nidal Abu Dukhan, Head of the Palestinian Authority’s National Security Forces. He sometimes meets Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas there as well.
Military sources report that the American general has repeatedly asked Abu Dukhan to de-escalate the violence by creating a buffer zone between the Palestinians and the Israelis. After all, he says, the PA has at its disposal nine divisions of well-equipped and armed men, the equivalent of three brigades, for executing this task.
The Palestinian general regularly promises to consider the idea and just as regularly avoids taking concrete action.
7. But the buffer zone suggestion did give senior Israeli officers an idea. Since the Americans have failed to persuade the Palestinians to mark out a security buffer for curbing the attacks on Israelis before they occur, the IDF should establish one.
This could be accomplished by imposing a total closure on Palestinian entry into Israel and the settlement blocs.
The plan was put by the military before Netanyahu and Ya’alon, but both waved it away for the time being.

Support the Widows
November 10, 2015
Dear Preachers:
On Friday morning, August 7th, of this year God took one of HIS CHOICE SERVANTS home from the Dominican Republic, JOSH WESSON. Dr. Russell Anderson always said that Josh was the finest young man he ever knew. Josh’s father, Joel Wesson, led Josh to the Lord when he was just a wee lad. Recently, I have been in touch with Joy, Josh’s widow. I want to be a blessing to them. Mrs. Vineyard and I are going to take Joy, Kimberly, Stephen, Ashlyn, and Katlyn on for $50.00 a month support.
Therefore, Preachers, knowing GOD’S COMMANDMENTS TO US CONCERNING WIDOWS, I write you this Tuesday morning urging you, to get A REAL BLESSING and take this dear widow on for monthly support.
Joy recently wrote me:
Dear Preacher
Thank you for your kindness to our family and your willingness to seek support on our behalf. We appreciate you and Mrs. Vineyard praying for us as you do and for being willing to support us monthly. My prayer is that the Lord will help me to walk worthy" of Him and of our calling.
Many times through these years on the mission field, I have recalled to mind a message you preached to us many years ago in college chapel. Just this morning I read it in my daily Bible reading. It is Psalm 78:9 "The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle."
I do not ever want to turn back. The Lord has given me everything I need to continue to go forward. Thank you for encouraging us as we seek to do just that.
I think the message she refers to was titled "TURNING BACK IN THE DAY OF BATTLE".
Psalms 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
And then in Psalms 44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
I. TURNING BACK BECAUSE THEY FIND OUT IT TAKES WORK!
It takes work to visit prospects every week; to keep track of all the addresses and names one develops; to run a good program on the bus; to run good programs in Sunday School.
II. TURNING BACK BECAUSE WE LOSE SIGHT OF THE TIME IN WHICH WE LIVE.
God brought Esther to he Kingdom for Such a Time as this; He has brought you and I to the Kingdom for such a time as this!
III. TURNING BACK BECAUSE WE LOSE SERVANT’S PERSPECTIVE!
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
IV. TURNING BACK BECAUSE WE ARE NOT WISER THAN OUR ENEMIES!
In recent days we have had three Israeli Colonels visit us here at WHBC. I would hate to be a Palestinian, always having to “play catch-up” with the JEWS.
V. TURNING BACK BECAUSE WE DON’T LET GOD FIGHT FOR US.
The Battle is not “mine.” It is the LORD’s! I need let him fight I my behalf.
Ex 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
We need, 1st, to rest patiently in our circumstances; 2nd, to realize God is greater than all our hindrances; 3rd, our only alternative is to follow God.
PREACHERS: THIS WIDOW IS ABOUT 40 YEARS OLD. SHE HAS 4 CHILDREN. SOME CHURCHES WON’T CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WIDOWS AS MISSIONARIES. I AM SURE THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE IN HER SITUATION. THEREFORE, IF YOU WANT A BLESSING, TAKE THIS DEAR LADY ON AS SHE WINS SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE AND DEAF FOLK. GOD WILL ABUNDANTLY BLESS YOU AS A CONSEQUENCE!
After two weeks of relative calm in Jerusalem, one stabbing attack and two attempted attacks took place in East Jerusalem and the Old City on Tuesday afternoon.
Two Palestinian youths, a 12- and 13-year-old, stabbed a security guard on the Jerusalem Light Rail in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood of East Jerusalem. The victim was moderately wounded.
Magen David Adom paramedics arrived on the scene at the light rail station on Aluf Yekutiel Adam Street and treated the 25-year-old guard. They transferred him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment with stab wounds to the upper body.
Meanwhile, another stabbing attack was reported in Damascus Gate in Jerusalem's Old City. The assailant ran toward two security guards on HaNevi'im Street in the direction of the gate with a knife in his hand. The guards shot at the attacker before he managed to stab them, critically wounding him.
The assailant was transferred to Hadassah University Hospital on Mt. Scopus, and later succumbed to his wounds. A 50-year-old Palestinian passerby was lightly wounded in the hand by the shots. Israeli security forces arrest one of two knife-wielding Palestinian boys who allegedly attacked a security guard guard at a tramway station in Jerusalem, November 10, 2015.AFP
A few hours later on Tuesday, initial police reports indicated that an assailant attempted to stab a Border Police officer in East Jerusalem at a checkpoint near Abu Dis. His attack was thwarted when police shot him onsite. He succumbed to his wounds within the hour.
Jerusalem has not seen any attacks since the start of November. Last Wednesday, Jerusalem Police removed four checkpoints set up three weeks earlier in East Jerusalem. The checkpoints were set up amid the recent wave of attacks, which started in October.
The last terror attack in Jerusalem took place next to the Jerusalem Light Rail station near Ammunition Hill. APalestinian assailant stabbed an American citizen in the upper body and lightly wounded him. According to the police, three security guards shot dozens of bullets at the attacker, who was critically wounded and later succumbed to his wounds in hospital.
Please pray for my wife’s upcoming Hip Replacement Surgery! Please pray for those nine OKC women in Israel and their safety!
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Colonel Guy Biton
October 27, 2015
Dear Preachers:
On the first Monday of March, 1977, Dr. Bill Blair came to my office to welcome me to OKC. Below you will see a picture I took yesterday in Cattleman’s Restaurant of Bill’s Son, Paul Blair, Colonel Guy Biton, an Oklahoma Cowboy, Colonel Aharon Formoza, and a second OKIE Cowboy. Paul Blair is one of the finest Christians I have ever known. What a blessing it would have been to grow up in a CHRISTIAN HOME, rather than in a HEATHEN HOME as ole Jim Vineyard did. Praise the LORD with your help and support, PREACHERS, we get to be FRIENDS [YEDIDIM] of the JEWS in this very time.
Now, below, see a couple of articles about our friend, Defense Minister Moshe ‘Boogie’ Ya’alon who came to Israel to meet with our Defense people:
Ya'alon, Carter begin talks on maintaining Israeli military edge
"We will fight terror and win, because we have no other choice," defense minister vows.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and US Secretary of State Ash Carter have begun talks on the defense package Washington will offer Israel for the next decade, following the Iran nuclear deal.
Ya'alon, who is in the US on an official visit to discuss the defense package, spoke Monday night at the Israeli Embassy in Washington at a memorial event marking 20 years since the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.
"During this visit, I will be meeting with my good friend Secretary of Defense Ashton (Ash) Carter, who has time and again proven his commitment to the security of the State of Israel," Ya'alon said.
"We will discuss how to further increase the IDF’s capacity and capabilities to maintain our qualitative edge, given increased and growing regional threats on the security of our country," Ya'alon added.
Ya'alon spoke at length about Rabin's life and deep involvement in the defense establishment at all levels.
"Today, 20 years later [after the assassination], the United States is Israel’s greatest friend. Its contribution to our security is tremendous and is truly our strategic cornerstone," he said.
"The relationship between the United States and Israel is based on shared values and interests, and is clearly expressed in the strong ties between our defense establishments, armed forces and intelligence agencies," said the defense minister.
Ya'alon thanked "the American people, President Barack Obama and the Congress, for your contribution and commitment to our security. There is no truer friend of Israel than the United States of America. And no difference of opinion can harm this relationship."
Earlier this month,the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, visited Israel on his first official overseas visit since recently taking up his post.
Ya'alon also addressed the series of ongoing Palestinian attacks on Israelis, saying that "an intense wave of terror attacks" is being "perpetrated by Palestinians, who have been driven by incitement and lies against the State of Israel. This is an opportunity to say it again, loud and clear: we extend our hand in peace to our Palestinian neighbors. The State of Israel is not violating the status quo on the Temple Mount, whatsoever. This is a lie. We uphold freedom of religion and respect the beliefs of every person."
"We will fight terror and win, because we have no other choice," Ya'alon vowed.
Earlier in October, Israel's Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer said Israel and the United States have resumed talks on future defense aid that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended in protest at the Iran nuclear deal.
"Israel hopes that the discussions we are now engaged in will culminate in a long-term agreement that will dramatically upgrade Israel's ability to defend itself by itself against any threat and enable Israel to address the enormous challenges we now face in the region," Dermer said in a Facebook post.
The allies had been looking to agree on a 10-year aid package to extend the current US grants to Israel worth $3 billion annually, which are due to expire in 2017. But Netanyahu froze negotiations ahead of the July deal reached between Iran and world powers.
"With the nuclear deal now moving ahead, Israel is also moving ahead, hoping to forge a common policy with the United States to address the continuing dangers posed by Iran," Dermer said.
"Discussions over a new Memorandum of Understanding between Israel and the United States, which had been on hold for some time, resumed this past week in Washington," he said, using a term for the defense-aid agreement.
Before the suspension, the two sides were close to a new package of grants worth $3.6 billion to $3.7 billion a year, US and Israeli officials have said. They have predicted that the amount could rise further as Israel argues that it needs more aid to off-set a likely windfall for Iran in sanctions relief which might be used to finance Iran's regional proxies.

ANOTHER ARTICLE: “The Palestinians didn’t come to the [negotiating] table even when we froze construction,” defense minister said.

Israel plans to continue to build responsibly in Judea and Samaria, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said on Sunday, attempting to dispel rumors that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised the Americans he would stop Jewish building in the West Bank.
“We haven’t frozen construction,” Ya’alon told Israel Radio. “No decision was taken to do so.”
The only freeze Netanyahu has ever imposed was a moratorium on settlement starts for ten months from November 2009 to September 2010. That moratorium was the result of American pressure, but in the end, it didn’t lead to anything, Ya’alon noted.
“Since then we have been building,” he said.
One of the Palestinians’ criteria for the resumption of talks with Israel is a freeze on settlement construction and Jewish building in Judea and Samaria. It has also turned to the International Criminal Court, which has yet to make a decision on the issue.
The US has termed such construction as harmful to the peace process, but Ya’alon said he didn’t believe that halting building over the pre- 1967 lines would move the peace process forward. “The Palestinians didn’t come to the [negotiating] table even when we froze construction,” Ya’alon said.
Israel, he said, has continued to build responsibly in Judea and Samaria with an understanding that such activity is under “unjust” intense international scrutiny, both legally with regard to the ICC and from the UN Security Council.
On Saturday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also issued a tweet in which he said, “Israel has not made any commitments not to authorize new building in Judea and Samaria.”
But settlers have argued for months that there is a de-facto freeze, because Netanyahu has failed to advance plans that would allow construction to continue in the future.

BRETHREN, there is no acceptable excuse to murder Jews. However, ‘useful idiots’ continue try to come up for “explanations” for this “latest wave” of Wild Donkey Replacement Doctrine Reject terrorists attacks hitting the Jews. You probably remember how . Indian-born Author Salman Rushdie once called this phenomenon the "but brigade": It's not OK to commit murder, but … (insert excuse: settlements, poverty, and so on).
If anyone is still unconvinced of the enormous psychological revolution that U.S. President Barack Obama has generated in his country, I invite them to review the obtuse American accusation that Israel uses "excessive force" against Arab terrorists who murder Jews; revisit the White House's call on "both sides" to refrain from violence; re-examine the mechanical explanation U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry provided for the recent rise in Palestinian violence: Palestinian "frustration" with Israel's "massive increase in settlements," of course.
These types of responses, seeking to somehow excuse the murder of Jews, are essentially a justification for the Arab acts of murder committed against us. It is not about the rocky relationship between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Obama. It is about the West convincing itself of "Western guilt" for what has come to be known as "crimes of colonialism." It is about the substitution of civil rights with "human rights" and accepting the "occupied Palestine" narrative. It is about turning Israel into the West's scapegoat.
In the 1980s, journalist and philosopher Jean-Francois Revel published his book "How Democracies Perish." To paraphrase his point, the conflict between Islam and the West is like a soccer game, in which one of the teams limits itself from crossing the half-way line, while the other team plays freely in the opponent's penalty box.
While Islam views its opponents (even those who do not pose an active threat) as undermining its existence and therefore seeks to exterminate them, the West views subversive groups that threaten its existence as valid adversaries with whom they disagree.
NOW BRETHREN, WITH YOU PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL HELP, THIS 75-1/2 YEAR OLD CODGER GETS TO STAND WITH THE JEWS. HE COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
BY THE WAY I HAVE TO MAKE A $5500.00 PAYMENT 11-4-15 ON THE FEB. 2016 TRIP. IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THAT I WOULD BE MUCH OBLIGED, AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU FOR YOUR ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR THE JEWS.

I DO WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN WITH US SUNDAY NIGHT SO YOU COULD HAVE HEARD HOW COLONEL GUY BITON CAME THROUGH THE FENCE OUT OF LEBANON BACK IN AUGUST OF 2006 AS GIVATI SPECIAL FORCES COMMANDER AND HOW ONE OF HIS OFFICERS SAID, “THERE IS SOMEONE WANTING TO MEET YOU.” GUY SAID HE ASKED, “WHO IS HE?” HE SAID THE OFFICER ANSWERED “I DON’T KNOW.” THEN GUY SAID, “THERE STOOD DR. VINEYARD.” WHAT A BLESSING GUY BITON WAS IN BEING WITH US FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
