1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

'Israel could be hit with 50 tons of explosives in next war'

Defense Minister Ehud Barak tells Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, however, that the IDF could retalitate by firing 1,500 tons of its own ammunition with extreme precision.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned lawmakers on Monday that nearly 50 tons of explosives could be dropped on Israel during its next war, but added that the Israel Defense Forces could retaliate by firing back 1,500 tons of ammunition with extreme precision.

The defense minister told the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that despite this alarming statistic, Israel could retaliate by shooting 1,500 tons of ammunition with extreme precision.

"There is a significant effort being made by armies in Arab countries to diminish the military capabilities of the Israel Defense Forces by improving their antiaircraft technologies," Barak told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Once Israel has finished equipping itself for every level of weapon interception, Barak added, "it will bring about a significant and positive change for Israel's strategic balance in the region."

Such an endeavor will take an investment of about NIS 7 billion and 20 years of preparation, said Barak, declaring that Israel must increase its defense budget to meet the challenge."

In his address to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Barak also spoke about the Palestinian endeavor to achieve status as an observer state at the United Nations in September.

"[They] are working to achieve a critical mass of states that would support a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders," said Barak, but added, "I doubt they will be able to reach that mass."

The defense minister said he believed it would be in Israel's interest to open negotiations with Palestinians over the coming months, "but if that proves impossible, we will at least aspire to get support from significant states for the UN vote."

The chairman of the committee, MK Shaul Mofaz, denounced Barak's "aspirations" as "unprecedented and seriously grave".

"The political echelon is throwing responsibility for preparing for September on the military echelon, and is abandoning its most basic responsibility," said Mofaz.
