Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on November 2, 2010|

It is amazing how one little acknowledgment is standing in the way of peace.  It is not much to ask…

PM: Recognition of Jewish state only sign of peace readiness

Speaking at a conference on the future of the Jewish people, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that “only when our partners recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish state they will be ready for peace.”

The prime minister said this was his conclusion “after we left Gaza and had 12,000 rockets fired on us.” He noted that “the only peace which will survive is one that can be defended.” (Yair Altman)

UN Message on Negotiations was a Veiled Warning to PA

Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on October 20, 2010|

More tension around the peace process.   Last week I posted an article that the PA was planning to ask the UN to proclaim the PA an independent state outside the peace process, this looks like the response to both sides.  It is amazing to watch all of this unfold and for little Israel to be the central focus of the world.  Especially with everything else going on, just think about it…

UN Message on Negotiations was a Veiled Warning to PA

A diplomatic United Nations warning, interpreted by pro-Arab media as aimed at Israel, also was a veiled message to the Palestinian Authority not to try to ask the international body to declare the PA as a country.

Assistant Secretary-General Oscar Fernandez-Taranco told the UN Security Council on Monday that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon believes “if the door to peace closes it will be very hard to open.”  However Taranco added—in statement that was not as widely quoted—that “there is no alternative to a negotiated settlement resulting in the creation of an independent and viable” PA state.

Arabs may ask UN to recognize Palestinian state

Egyptian FM says if West Bank settlement building continues, “the Arab League will study some other option aside from the peace process.”

BRUSSELS — Arab nations may seek UN recognition of a Palestinian state if Israel continues to build settlements in the West Bank, Egypt’s foreign minister said Friday.

Ahmed Aboul Gheit said an Arab League request to the UN may come next month.

“If Israel does not respect the settlements freeze,” Gheit said, “the Arab League will study some other option aside from the peace process such as going to the United Nations and ask for the recognition of the Palestinian state.”

US State Dept. encouraged by PA borders proposal

Posted in End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , on October 15, 2010|

It is unsettling to see the US as encouraged by PA demands.  We are on the wrong side of the conflict involving God’s chosen people.  It is most likely part of his plan and the reason we are declining as an economy.  Have we given up God’s blessing as a nation?  Maybe.

Crowley responded on Wednesday night to senior PLO official, Yasser Abed Rabbo’s, proposal that the US administration and Israeli government recognize the pre-1967 lines as the borders of a future Palestinian state, saying that it “represents the interest in the parties in continuing this effort.”

Crowley responding to questions at a daily press conference said “this is exactly the right conversation that the Israelis and Palestinians need to have to be exchanging ideas on how to advance this process to a successful conclusion.”

Lieberman: ‘We will not be victims of appeasement’

FM tells French and Spanish FMs to solve European problems before coming to solve Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, fresh off what was widely viewed as his “undiplomatic” address to the UN General Assembly last month, told his visiting Spanish and French counterparts on Sunday that before coming to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they should concentrate on the problems in their own backyard.

“I don’t expect you to solve the problems of the world, but I certainly expect that before you come here to teach us how to solve conflicts, you will deal with the problems in Europe and solve those conflicts,” Lieberman told French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos, who arrived on Sunday for a day of talks in Israel, followed by a day of talks in the Palestinian Authority.

France: UN creation of Palestinian state possible

The option of the UN Security Council creating a Palestinian state cannot be ruled out, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has said in a recently published interview.

But he got short shrift from Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman during a meeting Sunday.

Kouchner told the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam that France preferred a two-state solution to be negotiated with Israel, but added that appealing to the Security Council to resolve the conflict remained a possibility.

“We want to be able to soon welcome the state of Palestine to the United Nations. This is the hope and the desire of the international community, and the sooner that can happen the better,” he said.

France May Recognize Unilateral PA Country

More pressure on Israel…and only Israel it seems.  It is amazing the fact of the negotiations, if you get beyond the sound bites, the media wants you to watch.  Israel would extend freeze of settlement building (in their own country) if only the PA would recognize Israel as a nation?  The Answer, No.  Then who gets pressured?  Israel…

France May Recognize Unilateral PA Country

France has threatened to recognize a unilateral declaration of statehood by the Palestinian Authority if final status talks with Israel are “delayed.”

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner was quoted Sunday in an interview with the Arabic-language newspaper al-Ayyam as saying his government would not rule out the possibility of recognizing the unilateral establishment of a new PA country.

Kouchner, who himself is Jewish, said France would consider the option if PA talks with Israel were to suffer from “delays,” although Paris preferred the two-state solution to be negotiated between the two entities.

‘Both sides must take steps for negotiations to continue’

US State Department responds to Netanyahu’s offer to extend building freeze in exchange for recognition of Israel as “Jewish State”; PA publicly rejects proposal that had been discussed quietly.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said that “both sides need to take steps if we are to see the necessary conditions for negotiations to continue,” while apparently sidestepping a response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu‘s offer to extending the building freeze, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Netanyahu had said that he would extend the freeze if the Palestinians recognize “the Jewish state as our nation-state,” in a speech to the Knesset on Monday.

* Arab League to reconvene in one month over deadlock

* Alternatives include Palestine recognition, Abbas quitting

By Lamine Ghanmi

SIRTE, Libya, Oct 9 (Reuters) – The Palestinians, backed by Arab powers, said on Saturday they would give the United States one month to persuade Israel to halt the building of settlements in the West Bank or risk the collapse of peace talks.

The message, issued at an Arab League meeting in Libya, represented a reprieve for Washington as it tries to salvage 5-week-old talks stalled over Israel’s refusal to extend a settlement freeze on occupied land where Palestinians seek statehood.

Palestinian state within 2 months?

Bold statement again, it feels like we are accelerating in intensity, even though we are not making any progress.  Do you feel it too?

Palestinian state within 2 months?

TEL AVIV – The White House is planning intensive Israeli-Palestinian talks that aim to create the borders of a future Palestinian state within two months, according to Palestinian Authority officials speaking to WND.

While such talks seem ambitious, the negotiations are timed around the possible acceptance by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a two-month freeze-extension barring Jewish construction in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

A PA source conceded the talks likely will not lead to an agreement within two months.

“The U.S. proposed intensive negotiations regarding borders, meaning in the coming two months borders will be clear and maybe even closed,” said the source. “It’s very ambitious and is a lot to expect.”

The U.S. called on Netanyahu to extend a freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank. As a U.S.-imposed precondition for negotiations, Netanyahu in late 2009 had agreed to a 10-month West Bank construction moratorium that expired at the end of last month.

Mubarak: Failure of talks will lead to terror, violence

Posted in End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , on October 5, 2010|

More dire predictions if the peace talks fail, the pressure, just as God predicted, is squarely on Israel.  All nations are aligning against her and applying pressure to give concessions.  It is amazing to see God’s Word come to life.

It is obvious that God’s will is driving much of this as logic is lost.  By simply building in their own country, they are causing terror and violence?  Really?  Does that make sense?

Remember these are all within their country, like suburbs here in the US.  Here is a map, from another posting.

Palestinians mull talks walk-out over settlements

Posted in End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , on October 5, 2010|

Will we continue to have peace talks?  My guess is yes, I think this process will continue off and on until a completed plan is created.  It may then sit until the appointed time when the Antichrist will usher in “peace” via it’s signing.  I believe one of the speed bumps will be the Psalm 83 war, but none the less, it will be interesting to see what angle they use to continue them or if they really do stall.

One of the things I liked about this article is that it shows a map of the area and pin points all of the “settlements” (in the US we would call them suburbs) that are in question.  Check it out…

“The leadership confirms that the resumption of talks requires tangible steps, the first of them a freeze on settlements,” said senior Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo.

Israel said the talks should continue.

After the meeting of Palestinian leaders in Ramallah in the West Bank, Mr Abed Rabbo accused Israel of “obstructing the negotiations”.

“In our discussions with both sides over the weekend, we encouraged restraint whenever a decision was made on the Israeli side,” Crowley told reporters as the freeze formally ended at midnight (2200 GMT Sunday).

“The Palestinian response so far reflects the restraint… The restraint at this point is appreciated.”

Confirming The Covenant

He will confirm the covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’  he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. (Daniel 9:27)

Judah’s King Hezekiah had become deathly ill during the reign of the Assyrian King Sennacherib.  But when he prayed for recovery the Lord agreed to extend his life by 15 years, confirming His promise to defeat the King of Assyria at the same time.  As a sign of this confirmation, He had Hezekiah watch as the shadow caused by the sun reversed course and went back up 10 steps on the stairway of Ahaz (Isaiah 38:1-8).

Mideast officials fly to US as talks crisis looms

Top Israeli and Palestinian officials on Sunday headed for the United States where they were expected to seek ways to break a deadlock over settlements which is threatening to sabotage peace talks.

Israeli President Shimon Peres left shortly after midnight on a four-day visit to coincide with the UN General Assembly meeting in New York, and a few hours later Defence Minister Ehud Barak set off for talks in Washington.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, currently in Amman, was also to fly to New York on Sunday evening for the annual sitting, with efforts under way to arrange a meeting with US President Barack Obama, a senior Palestinian official told AFP.

“There are also preparations for a meeting between (Israeli premier Benjamin) Netanyahu, Obama and Abbas,” he said. “There is an expectation that they will meet.”

Netanyahu’s office said he had no plans to fly to the United States this week, and would not say whether he would meet Abbas before the settlements freeze expires later this month.
