"Anger is no plan of action. We will carry on as before,” the prime minister told the ministers meeting in Jerusalem.
Tony Blair: 'Arab view of deal close to Israel's'
I can't believe how blind our Western world leaders are. If I was Blair or Bush, I wouldn't be putting myself out there saying: "peace by '09". Is this merely to appease the Arabs and keep the oil flowing?
If the Creator says there's going to be no lasting peace around Jerusalem until He comes back, I choose to believe it. It's quite a simple issue for a Christian. Why do our 'Christian' leaders not understand it?
As well, PM Olmert seems to have no idea who's protecting Israel. If he did he'd take much bolder offensive steps against the Ishmaelites terrorizing Israel. Where's 'David' when we need him? The 'Goliath' of world opinion has come out to terrify Israel and divide Jerusalem, but there's no Israeli shepherd stepping forward to defeat him.
14 I will bring my exiled people of Israel
back from distant lands,
and they will rebuild their ruined cities
and live in them again.
They will plant vineyards and gardens;
they will eat their crops and drink their wine.
15 I will firmly plant them there
in their own land.
They will never again be uprooted
from the land I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
9 Next in rank among the Three was Eleazar son of Dodai, a descendant of Ahoah. Once Eleazar and David stood together against the Philistines when the entire Israelite army had fled. 10 He killed Philistines until his hand was too tired to lift his sword, and the Lord gave him a great victory that day. The rest of the army did not return until it was time to collect the plunder!
11 Next in rank was Shammah son of Agee from Harar. One time the Philistines gathered at Lehi and attacked the Israelites in a field full of lentils. The Israelite army fled, 12 but Shammah held his ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.
13 Once during the harvest, when David was at the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three (who were among the Thirty—an elite group among David’s fighting men) went down to meet him there. 14 David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem.
15 David remarked longingly to his men, “Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.” 16 So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the Lord. 17 “The Lord forbid that I should drink this!” he exclaimed. “This water is as precious as the blood of these men who risked their lives to bring it to me.” So David did not drink it. These are examples of the exploits of the Three.
Any questions?

Nope! No questions at all.
okay, just one: Will the 'blow meant for Israel' be given to another country because of the Prayers of the Israeli's? [Rabbis call for day of prayer on Tuesday]

I think Olmert could use a 'blow' or smack to the back of the head to wake him up.
But only by the grace of God do all of us not get wiped out by His anger. Israel is only safe because God set them apart per His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.
Hi Endtime,
What is amazing is how few people have been killed in Isreal with all these rocket, motor and other terrorist attacks!! By the grace of God....
Here is a long article from a prophetic revivalist. I posted on Joel's site but don't know how often you check in there:
DISASTERS WHERE??
-by Andrew Strom.
I write this out of genuine concern for the remnant of God in the
USA. It is something brief that I have been wanting to put together
for awhile. It is simply about the many similar prophecies of
calamity and physical judgment coming upon this nation. There
seems to be a pattern, and I don't want to cause undue alarm,
but simply to discuss these things so we are not unaware of them.
God will tell you if you need to act on any of this.
Since I have been in the United States (and even before, to some
degree) it has come to my attention that there have been
prophetic and praying people from all different places who have
had visions, dreams, or strong revelations - that often seem to
line up with others totally separate from themselves. This has
happened too often to dismiss it as mere "coincidence". I truly
believe God has been speaking to a lot of these people.
What I want to do in this email is simply talk about a number of
over-riding themes that seem to have come out again and again
in these warnings.
For myself, I am convinced that America is entering into some
very dark days ahead - not just economically, but in all kinds of
ways. She is literally sleep-walking her way towards a precipice
and she is about to go over. We have discussed many of the
reasons for this in past articles. But suffice it to say, it seems
that serious judgments are now at the door.
DANGER in THE WEST
The most unanimous warnings from many quarters concern the
West Coast. Certainly, California seems to have painted a larger
and larger target on herself in recent years - almost crying out
for judgment. Virtually every prophecy or vision that I have heard
regarding California involves not just earthquakes but also
massive walls of WATER literally inundating entire regions. It is
so common for people to have had vivid technicolor dreams and
visions of these earthquakes or tsunamis, that personally I
have to believe there is something in it. But it is not just
California. In many visions, the wall of water that is seen causes
massive devastation right up and down the entire West Coast -
and even a long way inland. We may say that such a thing seems
unlikely, but I for one would not be so quick to ignore such
unanimous warnings. If you live on the West Coast, and you
strongly sense God telling you to move - then MOVE! I guess it
is as simple as that.
OTHER STATES
By no means is the West Coast the only part of America being
singled out in a lot of these prophecies. If you know where the
Madrid fault-line is (on the Missouri-Illinois border) then perhaps
you know too that the strongest-recorded earthquake in US history
occurred there. There are prophecies of another massive
earthquake that will follow the Mississippi right up through this
corridor. So the midwest is not necessarily that safe. We need
to know exactly where God would have us - and be listening to
Him. That is the only safe place to be. -In the center of His will.
As far as weather and super-storms go, the Gulf Coast and the
East Coast are also prophesied to get hit again. (-Including New Orleans).
WHERE THEN ARE the SAFE ZONES?
You need to be totally led by the Spirit, but generally if these
things begin to occur, some of the northern central states are
often spoken of as "safety zones" - ie. From Eastern Washington
(Spokane area) and Eastern Oregon over to Western Wisconsin -
taking in most of the states in between - ie. Most of Montana,
Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. -There
are other spots around the country that are spoken of as "Places
of Refuge" also, but as I said before, it is utterly crucial to be
led by the Spirit in all of this. When and if these things begin to
happen, I truly believe God will speak to you if you are listening.
Nothing that I am saying here is a cause for alarm or panic. It
is simply a call to start listening very closely to the voice of God -
which I'm sure many of you are doing already.
The WORST CASE SCENARIO
The latter part of a lot of these prophecies and dreams show
America being invaded by foreign armies while she is down. There
are so many accounts of people seeing Chinese or UN troops on
American soil in these visions - it is amazing. This is one of the
most consistent features. Heavy Government crackdowns, bombs
and explosions (-even Nukes) in various places - people have
seen many of these things. But the "invading armies" one is
definitely among the most common. Does it make sense? Yes,
absolutely - if America is down and vulnerable. The U.S has many
enemies in the world - sadly even some in her own Government.
I am writing these things for no other reason than to bring
"confirmation" to God's Remnant - if they have already been
hearing them from God Himself.
By no means am I asking people to act on what I am writing
here. You need to hear from the Lord directly - and act only
on what He tells you. But hopefully this email may act as a
confirmation, to help you make your decision when and if the
time comes. We all know that even in the very midst of danger,
being in the center of God's will is literally the only place worth
being - crisis or no crisis.
But I just wanted to put this out so that people will know what
God has been speaking in many parts of this nation for a
number of years. The safety of the Remnant is certainly of great
concern to me. If you yourself have seen dreams or visions
of these things, I would certainly be interested to hear them.

Yours for the love of God's true Remnant in this land,
Andrew Strom.
Jeri,
The great thing is we don't need to worry about possibly ominous times ahead.
Also I've been noticing a lot of people claiming that God is showing them something in a dream, only for it to not come true. So was the dream from God? No.
In fact there was a very sincere Christian lady on the web recently who was absolutely convinced that Christ was coming back to rapture us out of here in 2007. She even quit her job and wrote a book about her dream. Needless to say it didn't come true, and her website has been removed.
Moral of the story for me is: don't believe everyone who claims to have had a vision from God. I don't doubt that things will get progressively worse for America because of Bush's pursuit of the so-called two state solution, but God is looking out for his true believers.
I do like the advice to be intently listening and meditating on God's word; great advice that will give us the comfort we need when we likely see the amazing things ahead.
