  耶路撒冷報導-央革斯‧法其‧莫克(Ernest Frank Mauck),68 歲,被視為在以色列地,甚至在整個中東裡其中一個最危險的人。

  而他卻沒有配帶任何類型的武器-沒有槍,沒有刀,只有聖經。

  毫無疑問,那些極度傳統的猶太教人仕(Haredim),這些戴著黑色帽子擁有嚴肅外表的人,都認為這人是極危險的人物,他們使用以色列的執法人員去幫助他們去逼使他,去完全限制他,並把他禁錮在耶路撒冷市郊的 Kfar Shaul 精神病院八天。

  今天這個外型如爺爺般的先知以利亞,還有他那滿頭橫生的白髮,這人將會乘座 El Al 航空被驅逐到希臘雅典。他的罪名是?妄稱 耶穌的名,以及發出 神將會對耶路撒冷和以色列施行的審判,除非「他們悔改他們的惡行」的宣告。

  但是,他卻被指椌「恐嚇要把在聖殿山上的清真寺炸掉」。莫克(Mauck)不是唯一一個不斷被那些傳統的猶太教人仕騒擾和恐嚇的基督徒,同時令人驚訝的是在這個所謂的民主國家裡,以色列警察好像屈服在這些傳統的猶太教人仕之下。這裡差不多每個星期都有這樣的報告,特別是針對那些興建基督徒崇拜中心的故意破壞,還有對信仰 彌賽亞的猶太人,就是信 主耶穌的猶太人人身安全上的嚴重恐嚇。

  儘管他不斷被人取笑他的外貌,甚至被那些基督徒和信仰 彌賽亞的猶太人嘲笑他古怪,莫克卻得到數以千計的支持者。儘管事實上他被認為是一個完全神志清醒的人,他卻被指跟那些丹佛基要派(Denver-based)的異教徒為同一夥的,就是那些被定為「耶路撒冷症候羣(Jerusalem Syndrome)」的人一起被逐離以色列。

  昨天的傍晚時份,在愛荷華州(Iowa)第蒙市(Des Moines)牧師湯.加遜(Tom Carlson)、耶路撒冷律師羅拔.所羅門(Robert Solomon)與退休美國陸軍上校占‧阿馬文(Jim Ammerman)的強烈要求下,他從精神病院中釋放出來,在一個特別去建立的網站中加遜(Carlson)聲稱有多於 1000 封電郵去支持以利亞。

  在這裡,警方、醫院、或任何宗教團體皆沒有發出任何對莫克被幽禁的事的官方評論。

  當他由精神病院釋放出來的時候,他身穿白色襯衣和黑色闊長褲,他很快就到了一個秘密的地方,在那裡他說到他從 8 月 3 日星期二晚上開始,被折磨了共八日。

  莫克他住在耶路撒冷加遜(Carlson)的住所內,當他聽到門鐘響起時他正在休息中。有一位年輕的女士問可否借電話一用,所以他就給了她。「就在那一刻那些蓋世太保(Gestapo-納粹德軍的秘密警察)似的政府內部警察破門來捉拿我。)莫克說:「他們強硬地把我帶到警察局,強逼我簽署一份以希伯來文寫成的文件。」

  在這些警察當中,有一個聲稱「被誘捕的」是他的一位朋友,名叫摩西,他在市中心的商業區遇見他,他每天都坐在那裡拿著文章派發給商場裡的人。

他重覆又重覆地這樣作,警察稱他「用自己所說的話去恐嚇人們。」莫克堅持他沒有說他要準備去炸毀任何東西。「我並沒有什麼能力,所以他們偽造了這所有的謊話。」

  八月四日星期三,這個說話温和的莫克從小囚房裡被帶去安置在醫院中的主要區域裡,那裡有十四個人與他一起。他說在那裡有大概七至八個女人在醫院的另一個地方。「那裡有些很壞的人,他們在尖叫,而有另外一不斷行來行去到處敲門。」

  莫克說他其中一樣最不滿的地方是在這八日的幽禁中,他和那些病人每日三次被給予了一些藥,而這些藥都令他感到相當之不適。「他們認為我是有精神病的,但我告訴他們我已沒有吃任何藥物二十年了。」

  昨天下午亞歷士‧提替巴任(Alex Teitebaum)醫生簽署他獲得釋放的時後,他不能做什麼,只能夠微笑。「我告訴他(警察和精神病院的官方人員)由一開始我都願意去離開這個國家。事實上我已預留了 8 月 20 日往雅典的飛機座位,我的簽證將要過期,不然我便要去續期了。」現在,他將會提早七日離開往希臘去。

  雖然以利亞先知-又稱作央革斯.莫克(Ernest Mauck)-或許會被驅逐到希臘,但是他所宣稱是來自 神的警告仍然存留。

  他說:「在這地球有史以來最大的飢荒正要臨到這以色列地,除非他們悔改。我宣告這裡將會雨水不足,因為他們取笑和嘲弄我。我警告了約旦、敍利亞和以色列,並告訴他們要去忘記那些戰事,並且要在戈蘭高地建立一個大堤壩。」他相信以色列及整個中東是在七年大飢荒中的第三年,這在 1999 年 4 月 23 日的耶路撒冷報中以色列官方宣佈了旱災。

  還有,他聲稱 神將要審判以色列,因為他們沒有把他們在黎巴嫩南部和戈蘭高地的軍隊撤走。「 神說:『 我是你的保衛者。』他們開始做這事,然後他們停止了,他們會完完全全地離開那裡。」


Expelled from Israel for beliefs?
Haredim send the 'Prophet Elijah' packing

  JERUSALEM -- Ernest Frank Mauck, 68, is considered one of the most dangerous men in Israel, if not the entire Middle East.

  And yet he carries no weapons of any kind -- no guns, no knives, only a Bible.

  Undoubtedly, the Ultra-Orthodox Jews -- the Haredim -- with their stern appearance and black hats considered him so dangerous they apparently had the Israeli lawmen hustle him off to the stark confines of the Kfar Shaul mental hospital on the outskirts of Jerusalem and locked away for eight days.

  Today, this grandfatherly figure, who answers to the name of the Prophet Elijah, with his wild mane of white hair, will be banished to Athens, Greece on an El Al flight. His crime? Mentioning the Name of Yeshua (Jesus) and issuing pronouncements that God was going to judge the city of Jerusalem and Israel unless "they repented of their evil ways."

  However, he was accused of "threatening to blow up the mosque (on the Temple Mount) among other things." Mauck isn't the only Christian that has been harassed and threatened by the Haredim. And, shockingly, in a so-called democratic state, the Israeli police seem to bend to their wishes. There are almost weekly reports of vandalism against established Christian worship centers and serious physical threats against Messianic Jews (Believers in Jesus).

  Although he has been mocked constantly for his appearance and even derided by Christian and Messianic Jews for his eccentricity, Mauck has gained thousands of supporters. He's considered a kind and completely sane man despite the fact he has been lumped with the Denver-based cult that was thrown out of Israel and also with those with "Jerusalem Syndrome."

  Late yesterday afternoon, he was released from the mental hospital at the insistence of Pastor Tom Carlson of Des Moines, Iowa, attorney Robert Solomon of Jerusalem and retired U.S. Army colonel Jim Ammerman. A special website also had been set up and Carlson claimed more than 1,000 e-mails had been received on Elijah's behalf.

  There was no official comment from police, hospital or any religious organizations concerning Mauck's confinement.

  When he emerged from the mental hospital dressed in a white T-shirt and black slacks, he was whisked away to a secret location. There he explained his eight-day ordeal that began late Tuesday night, Aug. 3.

  Mauck, who had been staying at Carlson's Jerusalem home, was resting when he heard someone ring the doorbell. A young woman asked if she could use the phone, so he gave her one. "At that moment four Gestapo-like (Ministry of the) Interior policemen burst through the door and grabbed me," said Mauck. "They hauled me off to the police station and made me sign a paper under duress. It was in Hebrew."

  One of those policemen, whom he claimed "entrapped" him was supposedly a friend, named Moses, whom he had met in a downtown mall where he sat daily, handing out literature.

  He re-iterated that the police claimed he was "terrorizing people by things I was saying." Mauck insisted that he never said he was going to blow up anything. "I've got no power, so they fabricated all these lies."

  On Wednesday, Aug. 4, the soft-spoken Mauck was taken from the cell and placed in the hospital's main area, where 14 other men joined him. He said there were between seven and eight women in another section of the hospital. "Some of the people in there were very bad with their screaming and one man was walking up and down knocking on doors."

  Mauck said one of his key grievances during his eight-day confinement was that he and the other patients were given pills and medicine three times a day that caused him great discomfort. "They thought I was psychopathic, but I told them I hadn't taken pills in 20 years."

  Yesterday afternoon after Dr. Alex Teitebaum signed his release, he couldn't help but smile. "I told them (the policemen and the mental hospital officials) that I was willing to leave the country right at the beginning. In fact, I had a flight reserved for Athens for August 20. My visa was due for renewal then." Now, he'll be leaving for Greece seven days early.

  Although the Prophet Elijah -- aka Ernest Mauck -- may be deported to Greece, his warnings he claims are from God remain.

  "The greatest famine this world has ever seen is going to hit this land (Israel) unless they repent. I pronounced there would be a shortage of water and they laughed and mocked. I warned Jordan, Syria and Israel and told them to forget about their wars and build a big dam in the Golan Heights," he said. He believes Israel and the entire Middle East is in the third year of a seven-year Great Famine. It was reported in the April 23, 1999 edition of the Jerusalem Post that Israel had officially declared a drought.

  In addition, he pronounced that God would judge Israel because they hadn't pulled their armies out of southern Lebanon and also the Golan Heights. "God said 'I will be your defense.' They started to do that and then they stopped. They were to get out of there completely."
