TONY BLAIR NAMED MIDEAST QUARTET ENVOY

Tony Blair is named Mideast Envoy. He will be speaking for the EU,US,UN AND RUSSIA in the Peace Process.

AT THE LAST MEETING IN THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT DAVID CAMERON ASKED BLAIR;
CAN THE PRIME MINISTER TELL US WHAT HIS FIRST PRIORITY WILL BE IF AND WHEN HE TAKES ON HIS NEW ROLE.

TONY BLAIR - THE ABSOLUTE PRIORITY IS TO TRY TO GIVE AFFECT TO WHAT IS NOW THE CONSENSES ACROSS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BRING STABILITY AND PEACE TO THE MIDEAST IS A 2 STATE SOLUTION. WHICH MEANS A STATE OF ISRAEL THAT IS SECURE AND CONFIDENT OF ITS SECURITY, AND A PALESTINIAN STATE THAT IS NOT MERILY VIABLE IN TERMS OF ITS TERRITORY BUT IN TERMS OF ITS INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNANCE. I BELIVE IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO THAT BUT IT WILL REQUIRE A HUGE INTENSITY OF FOCUS AND WORK.

OK SO WHAT DID BLAIR JUST SAY IN LIGHT OF PROPHECY. THE BIBLE SAYS IT WILL BE A LAND FOR SECURITY PEACE TREATY, BLAIR SAYS THE SAME THING.

THE TWO STATE SOLLUTION IS EAST JERUSALEM DIVIDED TO THE PALESTINIANS AS THEIR CAPITAL. AND BLAIR SAYS OF ISRAEL (A STATE OF ISRAEL THAT IS SECURE AND CONFIDENT OF ITS SECURITY).

TALK ABOUT GOD TELLING US WHAT WOULD BE (PRAISE THE GOD OF ISRAEL).

DANIEL REVEALS TO THE KING HISTORY OF THE WORLD EMPIRES

DANIEL 2:29-35

YOUR MAJESTY,WHEN YOU WENT IN BED,YOU BEGAN THINKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE FUTURE; AND HE WHO REVEALS SECRETS HAS REVEALED TO YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN. 30-YET THIS SECRET HAS NOT BEEN REVEALED TO ME BECAUSE I AM WISER THAN ANYONE LIVING,BUT SO THAT THE MEANING CAN BE MADE KNOWN TO YOUR MAJESTY, AND THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHTS OF YOUR OWN MIND.

31-YOUR MAJESTY HAD A VISION OF A STATUE, VERY LARGE AND EXTREMELY BRIGHT; IT STOOD IN FRONT OF YOU AND ITS APPEARANCE WAS TERRIFYING. 32-THE HEAD OF THE STATUE WAS OF FINE GOLD, ITS CHEST AND ARMS OF SILVE, ITS TRUNK AND THIGHS OF BRONZE. 33-ITS LEGS OF IRON, AND IT FEET PARTLY OF IRON AND PARTLY OF CLAY. 34-AS YOU WATCHED A STONE SEPARATED ITSELF WITHOUT ANY HUMAN HAND. STRUCK THE STATUE ON ITS FEET MADE OF IRON AND CLAY, AND BROKE THEM IN PIECES. 35-THEN THE IRON, THE CLAY, THE BRONZE, THE SILVER AND THE GOLD WERE ALL BROKEN INTO PIECES WHICH BECAME LIKE THE CHAFF ON A THRESHING FLOOR IN SUMMER, THE WIND BLEW THEM AWAY WITHOUT LEAVING A TRACE. BUT THE STONE (JESUS) WHICH HAD STRUCK THE STATUE GREW INTO A HUGE MOUNTAIN THAT FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH.

IN VERSE 44 WE SEE IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS. THE LAST IRON MIXED WITH CLAY OR REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION EMPIRE THAT GOD WILL SET HIS KINGDOM UP.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST GENERATION THAT SEES ISRAEL BECOME A NATION AND CONTROL JERUSALEM AS ITS CAPITAL. THIS GENERATION WILL SEE JESUS DESTROY ALL OTHER KINGDOMS AND SET UP HIS KINGDOM IN JERUSALEM FOREVER.

A treaty for foreign policy
28.06.2007 - 09:09 CET | By Richard Laming

EUOBSERVER / COMMENT - The successful European treaties all have a theme. The Single European Act created the single market, the Maastricht treaty gave us the euro, and Amsterdam led to greater cooperation in justice and home affairs.

What will be the theme of the new Reform Treaty, the outlines of which were agreed at the weekend? Will it have a big idea to give it meaning and purpose, or will it, like the Nice treaty, linger on, pointless and lamented.

The answer lies in the enhanced capacity for the EU to act on the world stage. At present, the representation of the EU to third countries is divided three ways between the High Representative for the CFSP, the European Commissioner for External Relations and Neighbourhood Policy, and the foreign affairs minister of the member state that holds rotating presidency. Not surprisingly, this can sometimes be confusing.

The new treaty contains a modest but significant reform: to bring together the roles of Council representative and Commissioner, and to install that person as permanent chair of the foreign affairs council. This reshuffling of the roles could have a big practical effect. There will be a consistent voice for the European Union – Henry Kissinger's famous request for a phone number to call will now have an answer. Clarity will replace complication, and disruption will give way to continuity.

Europe will get a louder voice in the world, which Europe needs, and which the world needs.

It was envisaged in the constitutional treaty that this new merged role would be called the Foreign Minister. This was a misnomer, and has rightly been dropped, for the EU representative will not be a foreign minister as conventionally understood.

In a national government, the foreign minister is both the chief representative on matters of foreign policy and also the main decision-maker. He or she can take decisions that matter and give undertakings that will stick. The EU's representative will not have quite the same powers.

Decision-making will remain in the hands of the foreign affairs council, where all 27 member states are represented. That council will continue to vote, as now, by unanimity on policies, turning to QMV for implementation. The vast bulk of the assets used in foreign policy – diplomatic representation around the world, contacts and relationships, and above all military power – remains in the hands of the member states, and will not be at the command of the EU.

It is clear that this reform does not mean more powers for Brussels. Instead, it means that Brussels will be able to use better the powers it already has. This is reason for celebration, and not for a referendum.

There will be many people who regret that the treaty does not go further in strengthening the foreign policy of the European Union, enabling the use of QMV in making policies as well as implementing them, but even they will agree that the improvements it does contain are still a useful step forward.

Of course, the real test of foreign policy will come in practice and not in theory. The world is changing fast, and the different European countries need to work together if they are advance their interests and defend their values. The rise of China, the chaos in Gaza, and the fight against climate change are all issues where Europe has a common interest but not yet a common voice.

The new treaty will give them that voice. This is the right reform, taking place at the right time.

But it is one thing to have a common voice; it is another thing to use it. Having reached agreement at the summit, this is the next challenge for Europe's leaders. But in the meantime, they have given themselves a good start.
