MALIBU WILDFIRES

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS

REVELATION 8:7
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Wind-whipped fires sear Southern California
One person dies in blaze in San Diego County; Malibu evacuated
Fires in Malibu

Oct. 21: Firefighters are battling a brutal combination of hurricane-like winds and fires in the Malibu area. NBC’s Chris Jansing reports. Updated: 37 minutes ago

MALIBU, Calif. - Nearly a dozen wildfires driven by powerful Santa Ana winds spread across Southern California on Sunday, killing one person near San Diego and destroying several homes and a church in celebrity-laden Malibu. The fire was among at least 10 blazes stretching from north of Los Angeles to San Diego as hot weather and the strong winds, arriving from the desert, marked the traditional height of the wildfire season. Four firefighters and four other people were injured and taken to hospitals in connection with the San Diego fire, said Roxanne Provaznik, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry. The blaze burned about 2,500 acres near a highway, and a second charred about 3,000 acres in northern San Diego County and was threatening homes near Witch Creek, Provaznik said. Meanwhile, in Malibu, about 700 firefighters worked to protect about 200 homes in several upscale communities nestled in the hills, officials said. About 1,500 people fled the fires, officials said. The blaze, which started in Malibu Canyon, had charred at least 1,200 acres and destroyed a church and several homes, one of them a landmark castle. No residents or firefighters were injured, Los Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman said. The winds carried embers across the Pacific Coast Highway, closing the popular road and setting fire to cars and trees in the parking lot of a shopping center where a supermarket, drug store and other shops were damaged.

At the mercy of the wind

TV footage showed several buildings in flames in the area, including clusters of beach-side homes. This fire is zero percent contained, which means we're at the mercy of the wind, acting Malibu Mayor Pamela Conley Ulich said.In all, five homes and two commercial buildings had been confirmed lost throughout the Malibu area, Freeman said. Nine more homes were damaged, he said.

FAMINE

REVELATION 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Georgia’s governor declares drought emergency
White House says it will review Perdue’s request for federal assistance - Robin Nelson / Zuma Press file - Perilously low water levels in Lake Lanier Reservoir north of Atlanta is threatening the metro area's water supply.

Historic Southeast drought - Updated: 4:46 p.m. ET Oct 20, 2007
CUMMING, Georgia - With water supplies rapidly shrinking during a drought of historic proportions, Gov. Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency Saturday for the northern third of the state of Georgia and asked President Bush to declare it a major disaster area.Georgia officials warn that Lake Lanier, a 38,000-acre reservoir that supplies more than 3 million residents with water, is less than three months from depletion. Smaller reservoirs are dropping even lower.Perdue asked the president to exempt Georgia from complying with federal regulations that dictate the amount of water released from Georgia's reservoirs to protect federally protected mussel species downstream.

We need to cut through the tangle of unnecessary bureaucracy to manage our resources prudently — so that in the long term, all species may have access to life-sustaining water, he said.On Friday, Perdue's office asked a federal judge to force the Army Corps of Engineers to curb the amount of water it drains from Georgia reservoirs into streams in Alabama and Florida. Georgia's environmental protection director is drafting proposals for more water restrictions.More than a billion gallons of water is released from Lanier every day. The Corps of Engineers bases its water releases on two requirements: The minimum flow needed for a coal-fired power plant in Florida and mandates to protect two mussel species in a Florida river.White House press secretary Dana Perino said Perdue's request will be reviewed.In the meantime, we have already begun drafting interim rules to use procedures and flexibility to address the endangered species requirements and the Army Corps has started the process of revising the operations manual for the river basin, Perino said.

Georgia point fingers at neighboring states - Georgia lawmakers say neighboring states also are exploiting the law as a tool to draw more water from Georgia's lakes.We've learned from this what a blunt weapon the Endangered Species Act has become, said state Rep. John Linder. We need to understand this lake was created not for mussels but for people.More than a quarter of the Southeast is covered by an exceptional drought — the National Weather Service's worst drought category. The Atlanta area, with a population of 5 million, is smack in the middle of the affected region, which encompasses most of Tennessee, Alabama and the northern half of Georgia, as well as parts of North and South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia.Georgia was placed under statewide water restrictions in April that limited outdoor watering to three days a week. By May Atlanta allowed watering only on weekends, and in September environmental officials banned virtually all outdoor watering through the northern half of the state.

Olmert sees no big breakthrough at Mideast conference By Jeffrey Heller Sun Oct 21, 3:27 PM ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Sunday a U.S.-led conference on Palestinian statehood would not yield a peace breakthrough, a statement that appeared aimed at heading off a revolt by rightist coalition partners. Two members of Olmert's coalition have threatened to quit the government if the gathering, expected to convene in late November or early December, tackles the most sensitive issues, including control of Jerusalem and its holy sites.The conference is not supposed to provide solutions. It can serve as a foundation for negotiations that would lead to a two-state solution, Olmert told reporters who accompanied him to France, where he meets President Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday.On Tuesday, he will hold talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in London before returning to Jerusalem.Olmert said Iran's nuclear program and his peace moves with the Palestinians would top the agenda of his first meetings with the two leaders since they took office.Israeli allegations about a suspected Palestinian plot against Olmert's life earlier this year cast a further shadow over preparations for the conference the United States plans to host in Annapolis, Maryland.

Olmert expressed great displeasure but said the suspected plot would not derail further talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Israel's public security minister, Avi Dichter, said Olmert's life was not seriously threatened.Before leaving for Paris, Olmert said the Annapolis conference was not meant to be an event on its own or an event for an agreement or a historic breakthrough.

JOINT DOCUMENT

Olmert and Abbas have instructed their negotiating teams to draft a joint document for the conference that addresses so-called final status issues, including borders and the fate of Jerusalem and millions of Palestinian refugees.The paper is meant to serve as the basis for the statehood talks that Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said should be concluded by August, 2008.Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the leading far-right member of Olmert's coalition, said he warned Washington the government could collapse if talks went too far.Cabinet Minister Eli Yishai, who heads the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, said he likewise cautioned Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her visit last week that the conference could shake up the government.The collapse of Olmert's coalition could usher in new Israeli elections and possibly paralyze peace moves for the rest of President George W. Bush's term.Israel's internal security chief told the cabinet on Sunday of a plot to attack Olmert's convoy en route to a meeting with Abbas in the West Bank town of Jericho, which was delayed and eventually took place in August.Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said the suspects were taken into custody in June and freed after three months because Palestinian authorities concluded there was no imminent danger. After Israel protested, the men were detained again, a Palestinian security source said.(Additional reporting by Adam Entous and Ori Lewis in Jerusalem and Wafa Amr in Ramallah)

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Priestly Blessing on Temple Mount - by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) A historic first: Last week, during a special visit to the Temple Mount, the Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:24-26) was recited there, for arguably the first time since the 1st-century destruction. The Blessing is recited daily in synagogues in Israel by descendants of Aaron the Priest, and only on festivals in the Diaspora.On the Temple Mount: During the Priestly Blessing, the Kohanim raise their hands. www.TempleInstitute.org

The special visit was held to commemorate the 842nd anniversary of Maimonides's famous visit to the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site. A group of some 25 Jews, organized by the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, marked the special day with a commemorative visit. Giving extra-special meaning to the occasion was a spontaneous Priestly Blessing delivered to the group by Yehuda Katz, the lead singer of the Reva L'Sheva band, and Eliezer Breuer, originally of the former Soviet Union and now from Kiryat Arba.Rabbi Chaim Richman, one of the organizers of the trip, said, This was probably the first time since the destruction of the Temple [1,928 years ago] that the Priestly Blessing was delivered on our holiest site. At times like these, when there is talk of giving away our precious places, and when despair is sometimes in the air, events of this nature serve to remind us that G-d has not forgotten about us, and that He still has big plans for both us and the Holy Temple - and that the Temple will yet become the focal point of the world once again.Another notable aspect of the visit was the welcoming attitude of the police. In an unusual departure from standard procedure, one participant said, we found that the police were particularly sympathetic to our needs. At one point, when the Moslem Wakf guards started yelling that we were praying, one of the policemen took our side and even threatened to remove them if necessary.

Maimonides, also known as the Rambam, made his historic visit to the Temple Mount on the sixth day of the month of MarCheshvan in the year 1166 (4926 in the Jewish calendar). Unanimously considered one of Judaism's greatest figures, the Rambam wrote that he put himself in danger to make a trip to Jerusalem, where he entered the Large and Holy House [the Temple Mount] and prayed. Three days later, he also visited the Machpelah Cave in Hevron, and vowed to commemorate the anniversaries of those days as his personal festivals for years to come. Last week's visit was also led by Rabbis Yisrael Ariel and Yehuda Glick. Rabbi Ariel is a former Yeshiva head, founder of the Temple Institute, and one of the paratroopers who took part in the 1967 liberation of the Temple Mount. Rabbi Glick made news briefly over two years ago when, as Director of the Absorption Ministry's Ashkelon region, he became the first public official to resign in protest over the plans to withdraw from and destroy Gush Katif. Though the Chief Rabbinate disagrees, the Yesha Rabbis Council has ruled that one who ascends and visits the Temple Mount while adhering to three conditions - prior immersion in a mikveh; keeping the laws of Awe of the Temple (no leather shoes, proper respect, etc.); and knowledge of the precise permitted areas - is fulfilling a great mitzvah [Torah commandment].The group stands on a staircase built recently by the Muslim Waqf on the Mount's southern end, leading to new mosques below. The Waqf does not allow entry to non-Muslims. www.TempleInstitute.org To arrange a trip to the Temple Mount in accordance with the above requirements of Jewish law, click here. The more Jews who visit this holy site, Rabbi Richman told Arutz-7, the more cooperative the police are with us and the more respectful they are of our needs - as some police officers have indicated to me. And the more we encourage Jews with stories like what happened last week, the more they will come.

Temple Findings Uncovered Published: 10/21/07, 6:16 PM
Finds on Temple Mount from First Temple by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) The unauthorized dig of a trench this past summer by the Moslem Waqf on the Temple Mount, in the course of which it was assumed that precious findings were destroyed, apparently had a thin silver lining. Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) personnel monitoring the trench-digging have, for the first time, found traces of the First Temple. The IAA studied an archaeological level dating to the First Temple Period, exposed in the area close to the south-eastern corner of the raised platform surrounding the Dome of the Rock. Archaeological examination of a small section of this level, led by Jerusalem District Archaeologist Yuval Baruch, uncovered fragments of ceramic table wares, animal bones, and more. The finds date from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE; the First Temple existed between the 9th and 5th centuries BCE, having been built by King Solomon in 832 and destroyed in 422.

The archaeological team - Baruch of the IAA, Prof. Sy Gitin, Director of the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, Prof. Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University and Prof. Ronny Reich of Haifa University - reached the conclusion, after examining the finds and archaeological data, that their characteristics and location may aid scholars in reconstructing the dimensions and boundaries of the Temple Mount during the First Temple Period.The finds include fragments of bowl rims, bases and body sherds, the base of a juglet used for the ladling of oil, the handle of a small juglet, and the rim of a storage jar. The bowl sherds were decorated with wheel burnishing lines characteristic of the First Temple Period. The IAA announced that it will hold an archaeological seminar concerning these finds and their archaeological interpretation at a later date.

Muslim and Jewish Claims

Muslim scholars often deny any Jewish claim to the Temple Mount, and it is often charged that Arab excavations there are employed for the purpose of throwing out truckloads of artifacts that would prove otherwise. Moslem claims to the Temple Mount, on the other hand, have been debunked even by other Moslems. A commentator for the official Egyptian government weekly, of all places, has written that the entire Moslem claim on Jerusalem and the El-Aksa mosque is based on a mistaken reading of one chapter of the Quran. Ahmed Mahmad Oufa wrote that the verse that mentions a night journey by Muhammed to a mosque has nothing to do with Jerusalem, as is generally claimed, but with a mosque near the holy Moslem city of Medina.Prof. Moshe Sharon, Middle Eastern expert in the Hebrew University, expressed great surprise at the fact that such an article would be published in Arabic and in an Arabic-speaking country. He told Arutz-7 at the time, All in all, this is not a new claim. We must remember that Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the Quran [though it is mentioned hundreds of time in the Bible - ed. note]. The verse in question is in Sura [chapter] 17, which states that Muhammad was brought at night from one mosque to a 'more distant' - aktsa, in Arabic - mosque. The first Moslem commentators did not explain this as referring to Jerusalem at all, of course, but rather as a miraculous night journey or night vision or some such. In the beginning of the 8th century, however, they began associating this with Jerusalem, because they had a need to start giving sanctity to Jerusalem, and so they started connecting this verse with Jerusalem... Originally, however, the Moslems recognized the area of the Dome of the Rock as holy because of the Jewish Temple of King Solomon.

CHRISTIAN ZIONISM GETTING THROUGH TO PEOPLE FINALLY

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Severe storms, tornadoes kill six in central US by Mira Oberman Fri Oct 19, 2:46 PM ET

CHICAGO (AFP) - Storms that spun tornadoes and dropped pounding hail in the central United States, killing six people, barreled toward the east coast Friday, bringing hope for relief to parched southern states suffering the worst drought in a century. About 30 tornadoes were reported from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico Thursday as unusually warm temperatures created instability not normally seen this late in the year, the national weather service reported.More tornadoes could strike Friday as the storm system moves toward the east coast, weather service spokesman Pat Slattery said.A hazardous weather warning was issued for much of the US eastern seaboard.It's high winds and it's generating tornadoes, Slattery said.That's a little unusual for this time of year... it takes heat and usually we don't have that kind of heat.

The town of Williamston, Michigan was particularly hard-hit as a tornado and high winds knocked down trees, power lines and killed two people whose house was blown into a pond.The storm blew the house off its foundation, said Sgt. Matthew Flint. The whole house was blown into the pond.A semi-truck driver was also hurt when the wind rolled his truck over as he was driving on the highway, Flint said.A third person was killed in Michigan when his mobile home was rolled off its foundation by a tornado that created a debris field several hundred feet long. A wood house nearby was also demolished.A kiteboarder on Lake Washington in Seattle was dragged to his death by high winds which also forced the cancellation of some area ferry runs and knocked out power to nearly 300,000 homes, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.Two people were also killed early Thursday morning when a tornado struck in rural Missouri.

It came down kind of like a lightning bolt, said Monroe county commissioner Glenn Turner. The rest of the county damage was minimal.The electricity went out shortly before the storm struck and a man went out to check on a woman in a mobile home. They were both thrown a great distance by the wind which carried the trailer a third of a mile from its foundation before it smashed to the ground.An 11-year-old boy was struck by lightning in Chicago Thursday as a sudden storm swept through the windy city, dumping marble-sized hail on people heading home from work.The boy was taken to hospital but is expected to recover, a fire department spokesman told AFP.But the storm will bring welcome relief to southern states suffering from the worst drought in 113 years, said Douglas Le Comte, a drought specialist with the weather service. Some areas will see major relief but we don't expect to see (the drought) go away any time soon, Le Comte said in a telephone interview. There are critically low water levels with impacts on cities like Atlanta, he explained. If they don't get rainfall relief they have only a three month supply of water for drinking in the reservoir.Much of the Tennessee river valley is in an excessive or extreme drought condition and officials have imposed strict water restrictions, he said.

The big rain deficits started in the beginning of the year and drought conditions started in spring and have been getting worse because of the excessive heat, he said. Because of the la Nina effect some areas will probably see return to dry conditions this fall and winter.

Stocks sink on Black Monday anniversary By TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writer OCT 19,07

NEW YORK - The Dow Jones industrial average dropped more than 360 points Friday — the 20th anniversary of the Black Monday crash — as lackluster corporate earnings, renewed credit concerns and rising oil prices spooked investors. The major stock market indexes turned in their worst week since July after Caterpillar Inc., one of the world's largest construction equipment makers, soured investors mood Friday with a discouraging assessment of the U.S. economy. In a week dominated by mostly negative results from banks facing difficult credit markets and rising mortgage delinquencies, investors appeared surprised that an industrial name was feeling an economic pinch, too.Reports from Honeywell International Inc. and 3M Co., themselves big industrial names, gave investors little incentive to take chances on the market. In one bright spot, Google Inc. rose after reporting stronger-than-expected profits.Investor sentiment took another hit when Standard & Poor's downgraded another batch of residential mortgage-backed securities, adding to investor unease about credit quality. The latest reduction follows a similar move earlier in the week and affects more than 1,400 classes.

And oil prices appeared on some investors' list of worries after briefly moving above the psychological barrier of $90 per barrel for the first time.I was not surprised there was some correction, given our expectation that earnings growth was going to fall short of expectations, said Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist, director of asset allocation for Trusco Capital Management.I think stock analysts were slow to incorporate the impact of the subprime crisis on third-quarter earnings, he added.The Dow fell 366.94, or 2.64 percent, to 13,522.02. The Dow was down for the fifth straight session and for the week was off 4.05 percent. For the year, the blue chip index is now up 8.5 percent.Broader stock indicators also fell sharply Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 39.45, or 2.56 percent, to 1,500.63, and the Nasdaq composite index dropped 74.15, or 2.65 percent, to 2,725.16.

For the week, the S&P 500 fell 3.92 percent and the Nasdaq fell 2.87 percent.Friday's pullback pales in comparison to what investors had to contend with 20 years ago. On Oct. 19, 1987 — Black Monday — the Dow plunged 23 percent amid concerns about interest rates and slowing economic growth. A decline of similar proportion given the market's current levels would mean a drop of some 3,100 points.Friday's decline — the third biggest point and percentage drop this year — was the 9th biggest point drop in the Dow since Black Monday.A drop Friday in the NYSE composite index proved steep enough to trigger trading curbs, which puts restrictions on certain kinds of sell orders and are meant to help stabilize the market. These type of protections were put in place as part of the response to Black Monday.Bonds prices rose again Friday, extending a rally to an unusual five sessions. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to the price, fell to 4.40 percent from 4.50 percent late Thursday. The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.

After touching $90.07 overnight, light, sweet crude fell 87 cents to settle at $88.60 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have spiked due amid forces such as a weak dollar and thin supplies at a key Midwest oil terminal.Illustrating investors unease, the Chicago Board Options Exchange's volatility index, known as the VIX, and often referred to as the fear index, spiked Friday, jumping 24 percent.Investors are starting to get concerned about both the pace of the U.S. economy and the pace of earnings growth, said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co.
Hogan noted that for much of the week investors focused on results from banks, which saw profits drop on souring mortgage loans and tight credit markets. But seeing weakness Friday in industrial company earnings reports increased their nervousness. We've got a multitude of earnings that are less than optimal in spaces outside the financials, he said. Caterpillar fell $4.09, or 5.3 percent, to $73.57 after its third-quarter earnings rose 21 percent but fell short of Wall Street's expectations. In addition, the company lowered its full-year forecast. Honeywell, the diversified manufacturer, turned in a 14 percent increase in its third-quarter earnings. The company raised its forecast for full-year earnings. An analyst, however, described profit margins at the company's transportation and automation and controls segments as disappointing. The stock declined $2.37, or 3.9 percent, to $58.32. 3M, the maker of Scotch tape and Post-It Notes, said its quarterly profit jumped 7 percent amid strong growth across all regions, but sales missed expectations. The company raised its profit outlook for the year. The company also announced plans to cut prices on its profitable films for LCD television screens. The stock fell $8.11, or 8.6 percent, to $86.62.

Wachovia Corp. fell $1.74, or 3.6 percent, to $46.40 after reporting third-quarter profits fell 10 percent due to write-downs related to difficult credit market conditions. The nation's fourth largest bank signaled increasing credit troubles ahead. Google rose $5.09 to $644.71 after the search engine leader said advertising spending lifted third-quarter profit by 46 percent. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a heavy 4.05 billion shares compared with 3.13 billion shares traded Thursday. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 26.24, or 3.18 percent, to 798.79. Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed down 1.71 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.23 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 0.47 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 0.46 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average ended the week down 571.06, or 4.05 percent, at 13,522.02. The Standard & Poor's 500 index finished down 61.17, or 3.92 percent, at 1,500.63. The Nasdaq composite index ended down 80.52, or 2.87 percent, at 2,725.16. The Russell 2000 index finished the week down 42.38, or 5.04 percent, at 798.79. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index — a free-float weighted index that measures 5,000 U.S. based companies — ended Friday at 15,174.49, down 614.81, or 3.89 percent, for the week. A year ago, the index was at 13,721.80.

Sarkozy and Brown push Blair for EU presidency
By Dan Bilefsky Published: October 19, 2007

LISBON: President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain endorsed Tony Blair on Friday to be the European Union's first permanent president, even as critics questioned how a leader from a nation deeply skeptical of the EU could take over the new high-profile post.European leaders agreed early Friday to a new treaty for the 27-member bloc that creates the post of EU president to represent Europe internationally on issues such as climate change, bilateral relations and development. The post could finally make it clear whom Washington should call when it wants to speak to Europe, as Henry Kissinger once put it.As rumors swirled at the summit meeting over who should be the new president - with Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen of Denmark; Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker of Luxembourg; and a former Polish president, Aleksander Kwasniewski, also cited as possible candidates - Brown insisted that Britain's charismatic former prime minister was singularly qualified.

The new EU president is to replace a cumbersome system by which EU leaders and nations rotate holding the presidency every six months. The new post would come into effect in January 2009.Tony Blair would be a great candidate for any significant international job, Brown said. Referring to Blair's current job as the EU's Middle East envoy, he added: As you know, the work that he is doing in the Middle East is something that is of huge international importance.

Blair's candidacy for the presidency was also endorsed by Sarkozy, who singled out his pro-EU sensibilities.I saw Tony Blair the night before last and he is a remarkable man, the most pro-European of all the British, he said. I don't know what his intentions are. But that one could think of him as a possibility is quite a smart move.He added that Juncker, Europe's longest serving prime minister, was also a good choice because of his long institutional memory.Foreign policy analysts said Blair, a fervent Atlanticist, was one of the few European leaders with the gravitas to improve the EU's international profile while expanding its influence with Washington. But many also questioned how the man who divided Europe by supporting the war in Iraq - and who is regarded with deep resentment in many parts of the Muslim world - could ever take on the unifying role of EU president.Others doubted a candidate from Britain, which remains outside of the euro, and does not subscribe to core EU values codified in the new treaty, would ever receive wide endorsement. Even if Blair could transcend this skepticism, they added, EU governments might fear being upstaged by a man often accused of hogging the spotlight.

In many parts of the world, Blair is seen as the most impressive politician of his generation, said Charles Grant, a foreign policy expert at the London-based Center for Reform. The question hanging over him will be if he has the necessary modesty in order to gain the confidence of European leaders that he will speak on their behalf.Under the new treaty, the president, who can serve for a maximum five-year term, must be backed by leaders from all 27 member states.EU governments will also have to choose a new high representative to coordinate the EU's foreign policy. The newly empowered foreign policy chief, a separate position from the EU president, will gain control over the EU's aid budget as well as its extensive staff of diplomats and civil servants.Sweden's foreign minister, Karl Bildt, has been mentioned as a successor to Javier Solana, a Spaniard and former NATO secretary general, who holds the role.Europe's leaders hope the new treaty will help overcome the drift which has plagued the bloc since French and Dutch voters rejected a European Union constitution two years ago. Yet the document still faces some difficult hurdles.The major obstacle is ratification by all 27 governments, a requirement that has doomed EU treaties in the past. Ireland, which voted down the EU's current treaty in 2001 only to back it a year later, will hold a referendum.

We hope we vote yes, but we'll wait and see what the outcome is, the Irish foreign minister, Dermot Ahern, said on BBC Radio 4 Friday.In Britain, Brown has come under severe pressure by the Conservative opposition and the EU-skeptic tabloid press to call a popular vote that polls show he would be certain to lose. In Lisbon, he insisted that a referendum was not necessary since Britain had won all the concessions it asked for, including retaining sovereignty over judicial, foreign and defense policies.

But even before he had returned to London, the Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper, was already accusing him of surrendering centuries of British power to Brussels in a last supper washed down with fine wine.Denmark, which triggered an EU-wide ratification crisis in 1992 by vetoing the Maastricht Treaty, the EU treaty that launched the euro, will also decide in December whether to put the new treaty to a popular vote. Denmark, like Britain, has an EU-skeptic press and EU-skeptical parties with a nationalist agenda.In deference to countries like Britain, which clung stubbornly to national sovereignty, the revamped document strips out the symbols of nationhood such as a flag and an EU anthem.It also allows some countries to forge ahead, while leaving others behind. Britain demanded red lines, including guarantees that its employment and social security laws would not be affected by an EU charter of rights, which enshrines the right of European workers to strike.A deal was reached after tough bargaining with Poland, the largest of the EU's former communist members, which demanded greater voting rights.

Main points of the EU reform treaty as agreed at Lisbon summit www.chinaview.cn 2007-10-19

LISBON, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- European Union (EU) leaders reached an agreement on a landmark reform treaty early Friday, laying the foundation for reforming the 27-nation bloc. The new treaty, in place of the defunct constitution treaty rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005, aims to streamline the EU's decision-making mechanism in face of a globalized world and an enlarged bloc.
Concessions were made to several countries after marathon talks, which dragged into early hours of Friday. The following are the main points of the treaty finally agreed on by all EU members.

Without constitutional or super state suggestion

This was unchanged from what had been agreed on by EU leaders at their previous summit in June. The reform treaty drops the constitutional concept and the term constitution is abandoned. There is no article mentioning the symbols of the EU such as the flag, the anthem or the motto, which may suggest a super state nature for the EU. Even the denominations like law and framework law are also rejected. It is no longer a single document replacing the complex and overlapping set of EU treaties, but an amending treaty to the previous ones, such as Maastricht and Nice treaties.

Voting mechanism

A double majority voting system is introduced to the Council of the EU, a decision-making body composed of member states' ministers, which means a decision needs approval from at least 55 percent of the number of member states representing 65 percent of EU's total population. Member states will cede the present veto powers. More policy areas will be governed by the double majority voting system, notably in justice and home affairs, but subjects that are sensitive for national sovereignty, such as tax, social security, foreign policy and defense will continue to require unanimity. Under a compromise, the reform treaty will allow Britain and Ireland to opt out of the judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation, but they can not prevent others from moving forward without them. In order to overcome determined objection of Poland, the EU leaders reached a compromise deal in June, under which the voting scheme will apply as from 2014, with a three-year transition period until 2017. During the transition period, any country can invoke the old voting rules.

Poland's last-ditch demand for the so-called Ioannina mechanism, which allows a minority group of states disagreeing with a resolution to freeze it for a considerable period of time to be planted into the treaty, was also satisfied in effect. Under a compromised arrangement, though there will be no Ioannina clause in the treaty, the European Council will adopt a declaration on the substance of the Ioannina mechanism, making it legally binding. In addition, the declaration will be attached with a protocol, which requires consensus in any change to the Ioannina mechanism.

Institution

The European Council, which comprises 27 leaders of member states, will have a new president, in place of the current six-month rotating presidency. The president will be elected by the EU leaders to serve a renewable term of two years and a half. In an effort to improve efficiency, the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, will be reduced in size, with the total number of its commissioners to be two-thirds of member states. Currently, each of the 27 member states appoints a member to the commission. Meanwhile, the role of the commission's president will be strengthened. The number of the European Parliament members will be reduced from 785 to 751, instead of 750 as originally planned in the draft. The allocation of national seats will be based on each country's total population, and the extra seat is for Italy, which complained about losing the most seats under the original plan.

New EU foreign policy chief

A new post of EU foreign policy chief will be created in the treaty. The formal title is High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, instead of Foreign Minister of the EU as envisaged in the constitutional treaty, due to Britain's opposition. The new foreign policy chief will take over the jobs from present foreign policy chief Javier Solana and EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner. The new chief, who is at the same time a Vice President of the European Commission, will chair meetings of the 27 EU foreign ministers and head a combined foreign service with both national and EU diplomats.

More saying for national parliaments

National parliaments will have more power to influence the EU decision-making, as demanded by the Netherlands. The period given to national parliaments to examine draft legislative texts and to give a reasoned opinion will be extended from six to eight weeks.
If a draft legislative act is contested by at least one third of national legislatures as beyond the EU's competence, it will be sent back to the European Commission for re-examination. 　

Charter of Fundamental Rights

The reform treaty will make an EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding on all member states except Britain, who won an exemption to relieve its concern that the Charter may affect its labor laws. Poland is also seeking an opt-out from the Charter for fear of conflicts with its laws on family and morality.

Get-out clause

The treaty introduces the possibility for a country to leave the EU under conditions to be negotiated with its partners.Editor: Feng Tao

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Lawmakers oppose Olmert on Jerusalem By LAURIE COPANS, Associated Press Writer OCT 19,07

JERUSALEM - A majority of Israeli lawmakers have signed a petition against any attempt by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to transfer parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians, a parliamentarian said Friday. Olmert said last week for the first time that some Arab neighborhoods of the city might not remain under Israeli control in the future. He has not said if Israel has offered any concessions on the disputed holy city in talks with the Palestinians.Yisrael Katz of the opposition Likud Party distributed a petition calling on the prime minister not to give up any part of the city. A total of 61 lawmakers in the 120-seat Knesset signed the petition, Katz said.The message is clear: Olmert has no mandate to compromise on Jerusalem, Katz said Friday.

Katz said his petition was signed not only by opposition lawmakers but also by members of Olmert's coalition government — including two Cabinet ministers and 13 members of Olmert's own centrist Kadima Party.Israeli governments have in past peace talks proposed giving up some parts of the city that Israel considers its capital but the sides never agreed on how to divide up the city and its fate was one of the main obstacles that has blocked a final peace arrangement.The Palestinians demand the return of all of east Jerusalem, which Israel captured in 1967, including control over a disputed holy site in the walled Old City.The new petition indicated that Olmert will find it difficult, if not impossible, to get an agreement that includes a division of Jerusalem ratified by parliament.Also Friday, a top Israeli-Palestinian team met as part of efforts to negotiate a joint statement to be revealed at a U.S.-sponsored regional conference next month.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the meeting was in-depth but he would not say if any progress was made. Israeli officials would not comment on the meeting that was the third between the negotiators.
The United States hopes the gathering will jump start a full renewal of talks between the sides on a final peace agreement.

Feiglin to Bibi: Say You'll Never Honor Jerusalem DivisionOctober 16, 2007...by Gil Ronen...Arutz 7...

(IsraelNN.com) The head of the Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership) faction in the Likud party, Moshe Feiglin, is putting pressure on the party's leader, Opposition Head Binyamin Netanyahu, to announce that he will not honor any agreement that cedes parts of Jerusalem, if and when he becomes Prime Minister.
In a letter made public Tuesday, Feiglin demanded that Netanyahu announce without delay that the Likud movement sees negotiations on Jerusalem's future as illegitimate and that a future government headed by the Likud will not consider itself bound by decisions reached in such negotiations.Feiglin, who received 23% of the registered Likud members' votes in the August primaries, warned that if Netanyahu does not rise to the challenge within the next few days, he will act to convene the Likud's Central Committee (Merkaz) in order to force a decision that makes it incumbent on the Likud's elected leaders to see any decision about dividing Jerusalem as an illegitimate one, which is not to be honored.

Jerusalem can unite the Jews

Feiglin explained the thinking behind his demand: This announcement, along with a public campaign that the Likud under your leadership will conduct, can prevent negotiations from continuing, because they will become meaningless when support for the Israeli government and its head drops to single digits, he wrote. Jerusalem can unite the entire Jewish public in Israel. I have no doubt that the leaders of the national parties and even some of the Knesset Members from [ruling party] Kadima, will join this struggle, which is one for our survival.Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday that he is not convinced that it was necessary to add the refugee camp of Shuefat, as well as Arab a-Sawahra, Walajeh and other villages to Jerusalem's municipal area after the 1967 Six-Day War. He spoke at a special Knesset session marking six years since the assassination of Minister Rehavam Gandhi Ze'evi.Kadima party MK Ze'ev Elkin said Monday that he was worried about talk of dividing Jerusalem. We need to discuss the matter of Jerusalem in the Kadima faction, he said. I think that there is no way people will live normally in Pisgat Ze'ev if we return [sic] Shuefat.Both Netanyahu and veteran Likud MK Reuven Rivlin made impassioned speeches two weeks ago in which they called upon the Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) and Shas parties to leave the coalition in order to prevent concessions on Jerusalem.

Serious Israeli-Palestinian talks ahead of US meeting Fri Oct 19, 10:06 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli and Palestinian negotiators tasked with drawing up the outlines of a peace deal before a US-sponsored conference held serious talks on Friday, a Palestinian official said. We had a serious and in-depth meeting, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP after the talks at a luxury Jerusalem hotel.Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and former Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qorei who head the teams met privately on Thursday, officials said.We are working hard to make this process work, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.Israel and the Palestinians are trying to formulate a joint document that will serve as a basis for negotiations on the creation of a Palestinian state earmarked for after the US-sponsored conference.

On Thursday, a senior official said Israel agreed to address core issues to the conflict in the statement that will form the basis of the meeting.Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had previously insisted on a vague document, but during a five-day Middle East tour this week US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for a concrete statement.The international meeting -- called by US President George W. Bush -- is expected to take place in Annapolis, Maryland later this autumn.

Zechariah's warning to Bush and Condi
October 18, 2007 - 8:00 p.m. Eastern

The Palestinians and Israelis are scheduled to meet at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., this November. This major peace summit is the brainchild of the Bush administration and is under the supervision of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Though most of the world – especially the Arab world – seems dubious about the summit's prospects for success, the United States appears bent on forcing some sort of peace upon that troubled region. To do so, Secretary Rice is pressuring Israel to drop all of its redline demands. Redlines are the points that cannot be conceded. Both sides have redlines. Both sides have points they will not give up, boundaries they will not cross. But the State Department is pressuring Israel to drop all of its redline conditions. For the first time, the division of Jerusalem is on the table. Since 1967, Israel had steadfastly claimed a united Jerusalem as its eternal capital, never to be divided again.

I will never forget when Gen. Moshe Dayan first stood before the Western Wall after the amazing six-day victory in June of 1967. He dramatically declared, We have returned to all that is holy in our land. We have returned never to be parted from it again.Evidently, to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, eternal and never means about 40 years. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Palestinians are pressuring Secretary Rice to guarantee that Israel will relinquish sovereignty over the Temple Mount. What's more, they're making this guarantee a pre-condition before they'll even show up at the conference! According to a senior Palestinian official quoted by Haaretz, No Arab country would agree for a final-status arrangement in which the Temple Mount was not in Muslim hands, particularly not Saudi Arabia.So, while Israel is not permitted any redline issues, the Palestinian redlines are not only permitted, but Secretary Rice is seeking guarantees of Israeli acceptance of them. And their No. 1 redline demand is that Israel must surrender the very heart and soul of Judaism as the price of admission to even start discussing peace. Just suppose for a moment that Israel and the Muslims were in reverse circumstances. Can you imagine the reaction to Israel demanding that the Muslims guarantee the surrender of Mecca as a precondition to discussing peace? The world would consider such a demand unthinkable. Yet, according to a report in WorldNetDaily, Secretary Rice singled out areas of Jerusalem that will become part of a future Palestinian state. She reportedly told Palestinian negotiators that she would publicly blame Israel for the failure of next month's summit if the Jewish state didn't agree to evacuate east Jerusalem neighborhoods.

Rice traveled to the Middle East this week to help the Israelis and Palestinians formulate a joint statement ahead of November's conference. The Palestinians want the statement to outline specifically a Palestinian state including the Gaza Strip, West Bank and essentially all of east Jerusalem, which includes not only the Muslim holy places, but those of the Jews and Christians as well. They are ostensibly to be put under Jordanian supervision. But I remember what that was like before June 1967. There were walls and barbed wire separating East Jerusalem from Israel. Christian pilgrims had to carry their own luggage across an intimidating no man's land of about 40 meters while unfriendly Jordanian soldiers looked on. I am stunned the Bush administration is pressuring Israel to agree to all of the Palestinian demands in advance, with the threat that they'll be blamed for the summit's failure if they don't. In view of this, my question is, What's the point of the conference? What's left to negotiate? President Bush and Secretary Rice have already done the Palestinians' negotiating for them. And all of this despite the fact that the Palestinians have not lived up to one prerequisite condition outlined in Bush's own Road Map for Peace.You know, I fear for both President Bush and Secretary Rice. I also fear for my beloved country. They must be ignorant of a prophecy God made 2,500 years ago through the Hebrew prophet Zechariah. It applies to this precise time and situation in history. God said, Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. … The people surrounding Jerusalem are all the current Muslim nations. As predicted, they have become intoxicated over possessing Jerusalem. Like drunken people, their emotions, inflamed with religious zeal, are causing them to do unwise, reckless and violent things. The truth is hardly any Muslims traveled to visit Jerusalem before the Jews returned to it. Now you would think there is no other holy place on earth as important to them.

These are the exact conditions Zechariah predicted would be part of the last stages of this age. He continues, And it shall happen in that day that I WILL make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for ALL PEOPLES. … – meaning the entire world. Now here's the punch line: ALL who would seek to heave it away will surely be cut in pieces. The original Hebrew makes the meaning of this even clearer. It reveals that everyone who tries to remove the heavy burden of the Jerusalem crisis will be utterly destroyed for getting involved with it. Isaac and Ishmael's fight over possession of Jerusalem has drawn the whole world into it – just as the prophets predicted. It is the culmination of Ishmael's 4,000-year-old hatred of his half-brother Isaac, the forefather of the Israelites. I pray that somehow this message will get through to President Bush and Secretary Rice. This prophecy applies to this very moment in which we live. And in light of what they are forcing on Israel, it applies to them personally. While Bush and Rice strive to create legacies for themselves – just as most presidents have tried to do with the Middle East conflict for the last 40 years – they not only endanger themselves, but also endanger this nation with the divine curse promised above. Mr. President, there is nothing on this earth worth what you are doing. In the power of God's Spirit, I warn them both, Stop, before it's too late!

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

WHAT PUTIN'S HISTORIC TRIP TO IRAN MEANS: Washington leaders asking if unfolding events in the Mideast were foretold in the Bible

BREAKING NEWS:
* Arutz Sheva: Israel Warns World War III May be Biblical War of Gog and Magog
* Ynet: Belarus president attacks Jews: In live radio broadcast, Alexander Lukashenko says Jews turned city into pigsty.

ORIGINAL POST:
Sobering, apocalyptic talk from President Bush yesterday....during a press briefing at the White House, the President was asked about Vladimir Putin's visit with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran and the threat posed by this emerging Russian-Iranian nuclear alliance....the President warned that World War III could break out if Iran gets nuclear weapons....here is an excerpt from the official transcript: I believe that if Iran had a nuclear weapon, it would be a dangerous threat to world peace. We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel. So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.....as the President was speaking to reporters at the White House, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of military leaders at the Pentagon on what Putin's historic and unprecedented trip to Iran means and how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's eschatology is driving Iranian foreign policy....the event was off-the-record, meaning I'm not at liberty to share who was in the meeting or any of the specific details....but I can tell you that I gave a condensed version of the same information I've been speaking about publicly in recent weeks....I will be speaking on the same topic on Capitol Hill today with a group of Congressmen who have invited me to discuss the latest events with Putin and Ahmadinejad and what they might mean....here's an executive summary:

* To misunderstand the nature and threat of evil is to risk being blindsided by it. A new evil is rising in the world. Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler. Putin is a new Czar. Yet the West seems to be asleep to the implications of this dangerous new alliance.

* Ahmadinejad is a devout Shia Muslim. He began telling colleagues when he was first elected in the summer of 2005 that the end of the world was just two or three years away. He said the way to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the Mahdi or the Twelfth Imam or the Hidden Imam is to annihilate two countries -- Israel, which he says is the little Satan, and the United States, which he says is the Great Satan.

* In September 2005, Ahmadinejad concluded his address to the U.N. by praying that Allah would hasten the coming of the Mahdi.

* Ahmadinejad returned to Iran after that speech and told Shia clerics that as he had spoken at the U.N. he had been surrounded by a halo of light, and that for 27 or 28 minutes not a single person in the General Assembly hall had even blinked, so mesmerized were they -- he said -- but what Allah was saying through him.

* In October 2005, Ahmadinejad gave his famous speech vowing to wipe Israel off the map. In the same speech, he urged the Muslim world to envision a world without the United States, and said this is possible -- a world without America and Zionism -- when our holy hatred strikes like a wave.

* In December 2005, Russia signed a $1 billion arms deal with Iran, selling high-speed missiles to the Ahmadinejad regime, on top of billions of dollars worth of other arms, submarines, and nuclear technology in recent years.

* In September 2006, Ahmadinejad returned to the U.N. and again concluded his address by praying for Allah to hasten the coming of the Mahdi. Throughout 2006 and 2007, he has continued to give regular speeches denouncing Israel and assuring Muslims that the Jewish State will soon vanish.

* In August 2007, Ahmadinejad began shifting gears. He was no longer saying that the end of the world was two or three years away. Now he was saying the return of the Mahdi was imminent.

* In September 2007, Ahmadinejad again spoke at the U.N., as well as at Columbia University in New York City. This time, rather than ending his speeches with a prayer, he began both speeches by asking Allah to hasten the coming of the Mahdi.

* For the past two years, Ahmadinejad has been feverishly trying to build, buy or steal nuclear weapons. He has specifically been building alliances with three nuclear powers, Russia, China and North Korea, in pursuit of his genocidal objectives.

* Despite the apocalyptic rhetoric coming out of Tehran, the military, political and economic relationship between Russia and Iran has intensified dramatically over the past two years. Putin doesn't seem bothered by the talk of genocide. Putin and Ahmadinejad have met regularly. Putin's visit this week to Iran was the first by a Russian leader since 1943.

* Putin didn't meet only with Ahmadinejad in Iran. He also held a summit with the leaders of several Central Asian/Caspian Sea nations and issued a threat to the U.S. not to intervene militarily to stop Iran's nuclear program.

* No one is entirely certain why Putin is building an alliance with such radical Islamic regimes. Russia is certainly making billions of dollars from their arms and nuclear deals. Putin clearly wants to rebuild the glory of Mother Russia. He is becoming a Czar, centralizing power to himself and now saying he will step down as president in 2008 but stay in power as prime minister.

* As an emerging Czar, Putin wants to expand Russia's borders and influence. But he can't go West, because NATO is moving East. Putin can't go East because he borders a nuclear China. He recently claimed sovereignty over the North Pole. But his real opportunity to build a global, anti-Western empire lies to the South. So Putin is feverishly working to build alliances with Islamic and Arab powers, including Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, and several Central Asian states, as well as Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world.

* Still, given Russia's experience in Chechnya, it doesn't really make sense that Russia would arm radical Islamic nations, or help them go nuclear.

* The Bible offers an intriguing clue to what could be happening. In Ezekiel 38-39, the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel foretold a Russian-Iranian alliance that would form with a group of other North African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian states in what the Bible calls the last days. For most of the past 2,500 years since the prophecy was writtten, this had never happened. But it seems to be happening now.

* No one knows exactly when these prophecies will be fulfilled in their entirely. I certainly do not. My 2005 political thriller, The Ezekiel Option, was a fictional look at how these prophecies might play out, if they were to play in my lifetime. Epicenter is a non-fiction look (both the book and the documentary film) at these prophecies and the current dynamics in Russia, Iran and the rest of the region. It considers the possibility that we might actually be closer to the fulfillment of these prophecies that anyone in the political, business or media worlds has expected.

* One curious development worth noting: Ezekiel 36 and 37 have already come true in our lifetime. These are the famous prophecies that say that in the end times, Israel will be reborn as a nation, Jews will pour back into the Holy Land after centuries of exile, they will make the deserts bloom, they will rebuild the ancient ruins, and have an exceedingly great army. Since these dramatic events have already happened, it begs the question: Could Ezekiel 38-39 -- what Bible scholars call the War of Gog and Magog -- also come true in our lifetime? This remains to be seen. But current events are raising lots of intriguing questions.

As I write in Epicenter, I am not trying to persuade people that these events are coming to pass soon. I'm trying to raise awareness of the threats we face as Americans, the threats our friends in Israel face, and the threats that everyone in the epicenter faces --, Jews, Muslims and Christians alike. I'm trying to make people aware of prophecies that intrigue me personally, and that may have relevance for our time. And I'm trying to motivate people to do more to care for the needs of the suffering and threatened people of the epicenter, specifically through the work of The Joshua Fund, the non-profit group that Lynn and I launched last year.While I cannot say whether people in the Pentagon or Congress or the White House share my views, I am both intrigued and grateful that they are interested and have invited me to share my perspective.At this moment in history, let us pray faithfully and earnestly for our political and military leaders, as well for the leaders in Israel, Russia, Iran and the epicenter. As the Apostle Paul wrote in I Timothy 2:1-4: First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

WW3 THE 3 WAVES THAT MARCH TO ISRAEL

DANIEL 11:40-45
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

The Third and Final Wave of WW3 is when all Nations march to Jerusalem, but JESUS bodily returns to earth and destroys them,sets up his KINGDOM OF RULE FOR 1000 YEARS THEN FOREVER.

Israel Warns World War III May be Biblical War of Gog and Magog by Ezra HaLevi OCT 18,07

(IsraelNN.com) US President George W. Bush said a nuclear Iran would mean World War III. Israeli newscasts featured Gog & Magog maps of the likely alignment of nations in that potential conflict.
Channel 2 and Channel 10 TV showed the world map, sketching the basic alignment of the two opposing axes in a coming world war, in a manner evoking associations of the Gog and Magog prophecy for many viewers. The prophecy of Gog and Magog refers to a great world war centered on the Holy Land and Jerusalem and first appears in the book of Yechezkel (Ezekiel).On one side were Israel, the United States, Britain, France and Germany. On the other were Iran, Russia, China, Syria and North Korea.US President Bush said Wednesday during a press conference that Iran attaining nuclear weapons raises the risk of World War III.If Iran had a nuclear weapon, it'd be a dangerous threat to world peace, Bush said. So I told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested [in preventing a nuclear Iran]…I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Iran Tuesday and slammed the US’s refusal to rule out the use of force against Iran’s nuclear project. Not only should we reject the use of force, but also the mention of force as a possibility, he said.Russia has blocked tougher UN sanctions in the UN Security Council, where it has veto power. The Russian president asserts that there is no evidence Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons rather than a peaceful nuclear power program.Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called for a new Security Council resolution against Iran at a press conference following her meeting with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Wednesday. I do believe there is a need for another Security Council resolution, she told reporters. In the past, the need to get everybody on board - including Russia and China - led to some compromises on the nature of the sanctions. I hope this will not be the case this time.Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Wednesday a sudden trip to Moscow Thursday morning, where he will meet with Putin about Iran. Other topics of discussion will reportedly be Russia’s continued supply of weapons to Syria, which have then made their way into the hands of various terrorist groups based there as well.
