Revelation 8:8-9
King James Version (KJV)
8 And
the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire
was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And
the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died;
and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
During WWII 105127 ships were used.
36387 were sunk 2.88913623 of the total - how close to 1/3 is that?
Closer than any of us probably thought.

EZEKIEL 36:24-28
The LORD GOD was prophesying to the people.
NOTE: When the LORD GOD spoke, this was GOOD prophecy
24 For
I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and
will bring you into your own land.
25 Then
will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your
filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A
new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I
will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart
of flesh.
27 And
I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye
shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And
ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my
people, and I will be your God.

27 Jun 2009 ... I was watching the history
channel, and they were talking about how wormwood is a meaning for
star or possibly comet or meteorite in the bible ...
And the third angel sounded,
and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and
it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of
waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part
of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because
they were made bitter. (Revelation 8:10, 11)
The third trumpet judgment sounds. God continues to
systematically destroy the available natural resources so critical to man’s
existence. As He destroyed one third of the oceans and its creatures, now He
will destroy one third of the rivers and springs. This will be a fatal blow
considering one third of the available drinking water will be contaminated.
Although the death toll is unknown, the Bible states that many men will die from
drinking this water.
NOTE: Everyone who drank the water after Chernobyl died of
cancer within 30 years.

THE BERLIN WALL
The Berlin Wall was both the physical division between West Berlin and East
Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and
Communism during the Cold War.
Dates: August 13, 1961 -- November 9, 1989
Rev. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.
Reverend Baxter says: It was clearly seen in Rev. 13:3
that Germany would be divided and that her deadly wound would be healed.
As these prophecies are fulfilled, the whole world will 'follow' after and beast
and be led into 'his' kingdom, which is the One World Government - (The
NEW WORLD ORDER)
THE BEAST IS THE ANTI-CHRIST
On November 9, 1989 - George W.H. Bush, Mikhail Gorbechev, and
Pope John Paul 20 days later announced the One World Order.
NOTE: Gorbechev after leaving office moved to America.

November
9th is an important date in our nations history. Twenty one years ago
today the Berlin Wall came down. Recent history seems to play down the
fact that Ronald Reagan was responsible for this feat more than any
other person.
President Ronald Reagan spoke to the people of West Berlin on June
12, 1987. On that day these famous words were spoke, “Mr.
Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” as he stood at the base
of the Brandenburg Gate, near the Berlin wall. The President’s words
were amplified and also heard on the Eastern (Communist-controlled) side
of the wall. This address by Ronald Reagan is considered by many to have
affirmed the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the fall of
communism. The Berlin Wall was breached 21 years ago on November 9, 1989
as the people of a free Berlin tore down that wall.
Ronald Reagan’s “tear down that wall,” address may well be the “Great
Communicator’s” best remembered speech. The following is an excerpt from
that famous address.
“In the 1950s, Khrushchev predicted: ‘We will bury you.’ But in
the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of
prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history. In the
Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining
standards of health, even want of the most basic kind–too little food.
Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four
decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and
inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces
the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is
the victor.
“And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming
to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about
a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been
released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed.
Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater
freedom from state control.
“Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet
state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the
West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome
change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go
together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the
cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would
be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom
and peace.
“General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek
prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek
liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate!
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’”

Tony Blair, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, at Buingen Univeristy
in Germany, on June 30, 2000 said:
"you could say that globilization started here in Germany, with the fall of
the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war."
GLOBILIZATION: One world without borders.
The 5th Trumpet: Rev. 9: 1-12
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to
earth, and he was given
rthe key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft
trose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and
the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were
given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green
plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have
the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 They were allowed to torment them
zfor five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was
like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find
it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for
battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were
like human faces,
8 their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth;
9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the
noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing
into battle.
10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power
to hurt people for five months is in their tails.
11 They have
ias king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in
Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.
12 The first woe has passed; behold,
NOTE: Anyone who had a TV set in1991 will remember the George W.H. Bush
war in Kuwait against Saddam Hussein. It was on TV from one end of the war
to the other.
Saddam Hussein set 700 oil wells on fire. The Sun could not be in
Kuwait for three months.
Sadam's name in Arabic means 'destroyer".
In that war, the United Nations allowed 48 nations to go against Saddam.
On May 8, 1995, President George W.H. Bush instituted the National I.D. Card
It was supposed to go into effect on May 11, 2008, but it was postponed.
The States all said, "No!"
On December 31, 2009, again the National I.D. card was postponed because 28
states said, "No!"
Again on December 31, 2011, the National I.D. card was postponed because the
states refuses to honor it.
It is still not in effect.

DANIEL 2
Daniel 2
King James Version (KJV)
2 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled,
and his sleep brake from him.
2 Then the king commanded to call the
magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the
Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood
before the king.
3 And the king said unto them, I have
dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king
in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and
we will shew the interpretation.
5 The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto
me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in
pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6 But if ye shew the dream, and the
interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and
great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation
thereof.
7 They answered again and said, Let the
king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the
interpretation of it.
8 The king answered and said, I know of
certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is
gone from me.
9 But if ye will not make known unto me
the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared
lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be
changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can
shew me the interpretation thereof.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the
king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the
king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that
asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king
requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king,
except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 For this cause the king was angry and
very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 And the decree went forth that the
wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to
be slain.
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and
wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone
forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 He answered and said to Arioch the
king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then
Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of
the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the
king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and
made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions:
18 That they would desire mercies of the
God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows
should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto
Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be
the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the
seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom
unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret
things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth
with him.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou
God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made
known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made
known unto us the king's matter.
24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch,
whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he
went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon:
bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the
interpretation.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before
the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the
captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the
interpretation.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel,
whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the
dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27 Daniel answered in the presence of
the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot
the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew
unto the king;
28 But there is a God in heaven that
revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what
shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head
upon thy bed, are these;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts
came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter:
and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come
to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not
revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but
for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the
king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a
great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood
before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold,
his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of
brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of
iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut
out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of
iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the
brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and
became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind
carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone
that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell
the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings:
for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and
strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men
dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he
given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou
art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another
kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which
shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be
strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth
all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in
pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and
toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be
divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron,
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part
of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong,
and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men:
but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed
with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall
break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the
stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake
in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold;
the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass
hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof
sure.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell
upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should
offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
47 The king answered unto Daniel, and
said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord
of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal
this secret.
48 Then the king made Daniel a great
man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the
whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the
wise men of Babylon.
49 Then Daniel requested of the king,
and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the
province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

IN THE LARGEST QUAKES - WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT 'TIME' HAD CHANGED!
REVELATION 9: 13-21 - THE 6TH TRUMPET
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four
angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an
hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of
men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred
thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and
the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their
mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their
mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for
their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they
do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues
yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and
of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries,
nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
|
There are currently 2.3 billion people living in this area of Syria, Iraq,
Turkey, Jordan, Iron, and Israel
This is 1/3 of the world population.
The question now is: when will this war start that will kill 1/3 of the world
population?
Why will the war start?
CONFIRMATION OF THE COVENANT
This is the final agreement that all religions can share the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem
Rev. 11: 1- 2
Then
I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and
measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.
2 But
leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it
has been given to the Gentiles.
Daniel 9:27a, “And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall
cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease…”
Galatians 3:17, “And this I say, [that] the
covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which
was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make
the promise of none effect.”
What Major Prophetic Events
Should We Be Bracing For?
Here is a list of prophesied events you should prepare for.
By Ken Raggio
I wrote the first edition of this chronology in 1997.
I continue to add details as prophetic details unfold.
I personally believe that we should prepare ourselves spiritually,
mentally and psychologically for the dramatic events of the final
seven years that will bring Jesus Christ back to rule and reign for
1000 years in "the Millennium."
We should brace ourselves for the coming events of
Daniel's Seventieth week (described in Daniel 9).
Most people refer to the last seven years as the "Tribulation." That
is really a misnomer, however. In reality, the Great Tribulation
will not last seven years. The first three-and-a-half years will be
relatively peaceful.
The real "Great Tribulation" (a.k.a., "Jacob's Trouble") will take
place during the FINAL three-and-a-half years.
Here is the general order of events:
FIRST HALF OF WEEK
EVENT #1 - The Prince of Rome (the Pope) will confirm a 7-year
covenant that will determine the fate of Israel. (Daniel 9:27)
The event that will signify the beginning of the last seven years is
the Confirmation of the Covenant mentioned in Daniel 9:27.
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week..." Daniel
9:27.
"One week" in this prophecy is a week of years, or seven years.
Daniel's prophecy specifically says that the Prince of Rome will
confirm a seven-year covenant. The Prince of Rome is the evil spirit
prince that rules in the heavens over the city of Rome. In the
prophecy of Nebuchadnezzar's statue,
the Iron
and Clay Feet represented the politics (iron) and religion
(clay) of ROME. It is the LAST EMPIRE to oppress Israel before Jesus
Christ, Israel's Messiah, returns to save them at the battle of
Armageddon (Daniel 2:45; Revelation 19:11-21).
The Iron represents the political system of the Europeans tracing
back to the founding of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD. The Clay
represents the Roman Catholic Church. The iron and clay feet of the
Holy Roman Empire are the logical extension of the IRON LEGS of the
Ancient Roman Empire.
For this reason, we should expect the Roman Catholic Church, in
partnership with the principal European nations to PUT INTO FORCE a
seven-year agreement that will effect the PROMISED LAND of Israel.
It appears that the Europeans and the Catholics (under pressure from
the Arab-Muslim world) will call this shot at the United Nations,
and will strong-arm the creation of a Palestinian State, soon
followed by the installation of an Assyrian governor in Jerusalem
who will eventually be recognizable as the prophesied Man of Sin.
We do not yet know the exact identity of the global power who will
negotiate and sign this seven-year peace treaty with Israel. We do
know that the prince of Rome will CONFIRM it. (If the
declaration of a Palestinian state does not include Rome as a
primary signatory, it would not qualify as the Confirmation of the
Covenant).
At the time of this writing, the most likely political entity for
that role is probably the United Nations' "Quartet," which is a
four-headed
entity comprised of diplomats from the United Nations, the
European Union, the United States and Russia.
These four heads are identical matches for
the four beasts that Daniel saw in another prophecy in
Daniel 7.
(This photo was taken in 2004. L to R - Jack Straw, Britain; Sergie
Lavrov, Russia; Kofi Annan, U.N.; Condoleeza Rice, U.S., Javier
Solana, E.U.
A current photo would include the current successors to those
diplomats.)
These four high-level diplomats in the "Quartet" are attempting to
force Israel into a two-state solution for the land of Palestine,
AND demanding that Israel give up major portions of the Holy
Promised Land for peace with their enemies, the Arab-Muslim
"refugees" of the 1967 war, variously represented by the Palestinian
Authority, and the terrorist groups Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, the
Muslim Brotherhood and just about every radical Islamic group in the
Middle East, including behind-the-scenes subversive factions from
Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and even Jordan.
In this picture, Special Envoy Tony Blair represents Britain,
" the mouth of the lion" in prophecy. Hillary Clinton
represents the United States, the eagle's wings of
Daniel's prophecy (Clinton is now replaced by John Kerry). Ban
Ki-moon, represents the United Nations, the Fourth " Dreadful"
Beast of Daniel's prophecy. Sergei Lavrov represents Russia,
the Bear of prophecy. Katherine Ashton represents the
European Union, the four-headed Leopard of prophecy.
These are the beasts that will be responsible for the destruction of
Israel as we now know it. Their decisions will force Israel into
calamitous circumstances that will lead to the great and final
battle of Armageddon.
(For more details about the UN "QUARTET," please read my article
about "The
Roadmap For Peace.")
Since early 2007, and now at 89 years-old, Shimon Peres has
been the President of Israel. This Socialist, Globalist liberal Jew
has for years been offering to divide the Promised Land in exchange
for peace with the Arab world. He has been trying to do this for
decades. The name "Peres" is the same word that the Prophet Daniel
saw hand-written on the wall in King Belshazzar's palace.
Daniel 5:28: " PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given
to the Medes and Persians (same territory as modern Iran)." The
message said, "Your kingdom is divided." Peres [if he lives long
enough] may finally accomplish the division of the land that will
precipitate a supposed Peace Agreement with the rest of the world.
Because Israel has failed to secure peace with the Palestinians for
many decades, the newest plan being foisted by the International
Community is for the United Nations to unilaterally declare a
Palestinian State. The Palestinian Authority finally succeeded in
November of 2012 to ascede to "Non-Member Observer STATE" at the
United Nations - not yet a state legally, but most consider it to be
a de facto state now.
An article in the
Jerusalem Post, (10/28/2010), had warned that President
Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority would ask the US and
United Nations Security Council to recognize a Palestinian state on
the 1967 borders if the current round of peace negotiations fail.
Since Israel was founded in 1948, the United States has vetoed every
such effort in the United Nations Security Council. But now that
Barrack Hussein Obama is the President of the United States, Israel
does not have the support it once had from the United States. Former
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told Fox News that
he does not believe the United States will veto
the next
proposal to declare a Palestinian State. The PA did not
apply to the UN Security Council for statehood, to avoid the
possibility of a U.S. veto. Instead, they went to the UN General
Assembly where they garnered 138 votes out of a total of 193 nations
- a 67% majority. That won them "non-member observer STATE."
The Obama administration is likely to allow the Palestinians to
declare Statehood in the near future. We may see a Palestinian State
in the very near future.
What are the Prophetic implications of a new Palestinian State?
Will that signal the beginning of the last seven years before
Armageddon (Daniel's Seventieth Week)?
Not necessarily.
First of all, if Israel goes back to the 1967 borders (or somewhere
close to that), Jerusalem is going to be divided.
When the Prince of Rome confirms a
Seven-Year Treaty with the United Nations ("he shall confirm the
covenant with many") or a similar international entity (perhaps the
Arab League, or the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation [O.I.C.],
etc.) regarding the borders of Israel, we might well assume that the
last seven years have begun.
EVENT #2. The
Man of
Sin will cause craft (deception, fraud) to prosper, and will
destroy by peace (Daniel 8:25).
The Third
Temple will be built in Jerusalem.
"By peace," the
Man of
Sin "will destroy many," (Daniel 8:25). He will "corrupt
[his opponents] by flatteries" (Daniel 11:32) during his early
reign.
THE LAST HALF OF WEEK - the final 3.5 years.
EVENT #3. The "Man of Sin" will stand in the Third Temple in
Jerusalem and commit the Abomination of Desolation by causing the
Jewish sacrifices and oblations to cease (according to Daniel 9:27).
In the MIDDLE of those seven-years, the Man of Sin will show
himself to be a monster, and will completely betray the
peace-pact. He will commit the dreaded Abomination in the Third
Jewish Temple that will cause the daily sacrifice and prayers to
be abandoned. Jesus warned of it in Matthew 24:15, and Paul
warned of it in 2 Thessalonians 2:2.
"...and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate," Daniel 9:27.
The West Bank of Israel will become the scene of another Jewish
holocaust. That is why Jesus warned those in Judea to flee the
moment they hear of the Abomination.
Jesus warned those who live in the West Bank (Judea) to
immediately flee for their lives when they see the Abomination
of Desolation, because next is...
EVENT #4. The Great Tribulation, or the time of "Jacob's Trouble"
will begin. For 42 months, Israel will undergo the most horrific
trial in its entire history (Daniel 12:2, Revelation 11:2).
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be,"
Matthew 24:21.
During the last forty-two months, Israel will face the horrific
time called "Jacob's trouble" - the most frightening of all
Jewish persecutions - according to Daniel 11:2.
According to Revelation 11:2, the Man of Sin will also make war
against the SAINTS OF THE CHURCH of Jesus Christ. Both national
Israel and the Church will be persecuted for 3 1/2 years.
EVENT #5. The False Prophet (the Pope) will announce the Mark of
the Beast in the middle of the last seven years (Revelation 13).
With the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI comes the stark reality
that the new Pope is extremely likely to be the Pope who will
introduce the Mark of the Beast.
In the LAST three-and-a-half years, the second beast of
Revelation 13 (The False Prophet - the POPE) will introduce,
invoke and enforce the Mark of the Beast upon the global
community.
Revelation 13:11,16-17 - "I beheld another beast coming up out
of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as
a dragon. ...And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or
in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name."
Saints should be preparing now for the three and a half years
without cash. This is going to require "underground" living -
that is, "off the grid" and "without money." The official policy
of Big Brother will be to exterminate (kill) those who refuse
the Mark. Survival will very likely depend on staying out of
sight and out of the way.
This is the reason why I have suggested that people should at
least be aware of basic survival tactics. I can show you story
after story in the Bible when
God's people
were forced to practice survival tactics under despotic
governments. I do not teach or believe that we should
depend on survivalist tactics, but rather have faith in Jesus
Christ for our daily bread. I do not teach or believe that we
should take up arms against our government, or attempt a
revolution against the new world government. What is prophesied
is irreversible.
It is not unlikely that the Mark of the Beast will force
Christian believers to practice survivalist lifestyles.
You can roast me alive for saying so. Burn me at the stake.
Accuse me of doubt, fear and unbelief. Assassinate my character.
Black-list me and ostracize me. But don't tell me I didn't warn
you. Christians are going to be persecuted, and slandering me
is not going to exempt you from that fact.
EVENT #6. The Man of Sin will make war on the Church and prevail
for 42 months (Daniel 7:21; Revelation 13:7).
Jerusalem will be divided at that point. The Jews will
control the Temple, but everything else on the Temple Mount will
be controlled by the Gentiles (Revelation 11:1-2). That will
probably mean Palestinian-Arab-Muslim control of the Temple
Mount and East Jerusalem under United Nations monitoring.
I strongly suspect that the United Nations will elect a Muslim
for the next Secretary-General. See my article,
"Antichrist Rising? Will Powerful Islamist Become Next U.N.
Secretary-General?"
At that same time, God will also send Two Witnesses to
prophesy in Israel for 42 months (Revelation 11:3). They
will be Holy Ghost-filled, Apostolic, Jesus' name preachers.
Nobody will be able to kill them until three-and-a-half days
before the Last Trump (when Jesus returns). They will finally be
killed and will lie dead in the streets until they are raised up
and raptured with the rest of the saints of God at
the Last (Seventh) Trumpet.
EVENT #7.
The Sixth Trumpet War and the Fall of Babylon (Revelation
9:13-21; 14:8)
It seems to me that the Sixth Trumpet War is more likely to take
place AFTER the Man of Sin commits the Abomination of Desolation for
the simple reason that the entire world will be in shambles
following the Sixth Trumpet War (One-third of the earth's population
will die during that event). Not only that, but Jesus said of the
Great Tribulation, " Then shall be great tribulation, such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, NOR SHALL
EVER BE," Matthew 24:21.
For that reason, I believe that the Sixth Trumpet is actually a
great part of the Great Tribulation. It is inconceivable to me that
the Great Tribulation will be worse than the Sixth Trumpet War, in
which one third of human population will die. I don't think the
Great Tribulation will come AFTER the Sixth Trumpet. I think that
the Sixth Trumpet and the Great Tribulation will be concurrent.
According to the Sixth Trumpet prophecy in Revelation 9,
one-third of mankind will die in a war that begins at the
Euphrates River. This war is already being staged, and may have
already begun. It is escalating as I write. The hostilities will
involve the enemies of Israel. The nations through which the
Euphrates River flows are already particularly hostile to
Israel: Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran (The Euphrates merges with
the Tigres along the Iranian border.)
Anyone can see that many other of the nations in that region are
likely to be involved as well. Russia and China are likely to be
engaged both strategically and tactically, as well as some of
the hostile peripheral nations. Please see my extensive article
on
The Sixth Trumpet War. The hostilities in that region
have already been called World War III by many powerful world
figures, including Thomas Friedman, Editor of the New York
Times, and James Woolsey, former CIA Director.
There is also a prophesied
fall
of Babylon. That MAY have already occured with the
overthrow of the Iraqi government in the Gulf War. But I think
that prophecy has much larger, global implications. This could
indicate a "meltdown" of International financial order, as in a
global
economic collapse, resulting in major currency failures,
(such as the death of the American dollar, maybe even the death
of the Euro dollar) resulting in a new paperless currency, and
precipitating the Mark of the Beast.
I personally expect to see a collapse of the old world order (to
fulfill the prophecy about Babylon falling - Revelation 14:8),
which will be a calamitous event that will necessitate a new
economic order/ money system (the Mark of the Beast).
I believe that the Sixth Trumpet War will take place AFTER the
Mark of the Beast, for the simple reason that the world will
really be in shambles after one-third of its population has been
killed, and it will be exceedingly difficult to ramp-up the
technology for the Mark of the Beast during such a massive
calamity.
The New World Order will impose a dramatic restructuring of all
governments and businesses that are not a part of Big Brother's
system.
People will be forced to re-adjust their lifestyles to cooperate
and participate with the New World Order's "Great Plan." You can
expect to see a radically altered banking system, a globalized
industrial complex, a globalized military complex, the absence
of national sovereignty, and globalized Communism-Socialism
(including the United States). See:
Socialism: The Scarlet-Red-Beast Prophecy
I speculate that the World Trade Organization (WTO) will become
one of the most powerful global political entities. Since the
Mark of the Beast system will be primarily economic, the most
powerful global organization is likely to be the economic arm of
the world government - the WTO, working in tandem with the
United Nations Economic and Social Council based in New York (or
Geneva). I believe that the World Trade Organization is likely
to be the legal entity through which the International Bank for
Settlements (in Basel, Switzerland), the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund will finally force-feed a
(Verichip-type) RFID-based global currency.
Many of the Islamic nations are NOT MEMBERS of the WTO, and I
think this could be the potential conflict that will precipitate
the Sixth Trumpet War - the WESTERN ECONOMIC POWERS versus a
RUSSIAN-ISLAMIC COALITION. This, I believe, could be the
enormous global conflict that will end up killing one-third of
the world's population, when the WEST, including Saudi Arabia
(SUNNI ISLAM) finally rises up in an attempt to subdue RADICAL
(SHIA) ISLAM.
I think the Sixth Trumpet War is likely to be the epic showdown
between the New World Order (West + Saudi) against Radical Islam
(Iran + Syria + Russia and perhaps China, et al.) in the
fiercest war in the history of the world, for total world
dominion!! Who will win? Catholic-Capitalism or Communist-Islam?
The Shanghai Collective Organization (SCO) is gaining enormous
momentum as a Russian-Communist challenge to NATO. Russia and
China have already been practicing war games in the name of
"Terror" preparations, but the sober reality is that there is a
massive military ambition emerging in the midst of Russia, China
and several of the Central Asian countries that are presently
hybrids of Communism and Islam (including Iran). It is not
far-fetched to assume that Russia and China will be allied with
Iran, Syria, and several of their largest CLIENT states in a
MAJOR, MAJOR Communist-Islamic showdown with the
Catholic-Capitalist West.
After decades of attempting to join the European Union without
success, Turkey has recently announced that it is considering
joining the S.C.O., which would align the "Assyrian" with Russia
and China - a perfect Armageddon coalition.
The Sixth Trumpet War just might be a war between NATO and
the SCO.
I do not know for certain which side will be the winner. I
believe that the United States will be overtaken by
Socialism-Communism. The West will be redefined. Europe will
become the mouthpiece for the West, whereas the United States
has always been before.
The financial strength of the New World Order will shift AWAY
from America into Europe and even China. Europe is soon to feel
the upheavals of Islam as it attempts to wrest Europe into its
own control. Before Jesus comes, Europe will hate the Roman
Catholic Church, and destroy it. "The ten horns which thou
sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall
make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn
her with fire," Revelation 17:16.
That suggests that Communism-Islam may take the wheel in Europe.
Europe may eventually even be led by an Assyrian. I just can't
say for sure.
The prophecies reveal that it will be an international army -
i.e., the United Nations - that will come against Israel for the
final battle of Armageddon. That may be because Islam-Communism
will finally take full control of the United Nations, and nobody
in the Catholic-Capitalist West remains to defend Israel.
"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.
Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, [this will be the Second Coming of Jesus] as when
he fought in the day of battle. 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," Zechariah 14:2-4.
In the past, the United States would have prevented the United
Nations from assaulting Israel, but the United States will
eventually abandon Israel (perhaps while Barrack Hussein Obama
is in office). Islam seems destined to gain a controlling
interest in Europe, but how soon is anybody's guess. Saudi
Arabia has recently nominated a Turkish Assyrian, Ekmelidden
Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the O.I.C. (56 Muslim
nations) to be the next United Nations Secretary General. If
they succeed, the Assyrian who commits the Abomination of
Desolation in the Third Temple AND who faces down Jesus Christ
at Armageddon could be no less than the UN Secretary General,
Ekmelidden Ihsanoglu. I am just speculating at this point.
(Incidentally, because of
the
Scarlet Red Beast Prophecy, I expect to see a
dramatically reduced standard of living in America, including
the loss of property ownership. Foreclosures and high taxes
ultimately guarantee that. I expect to see acutely reduced
transportation. Mass transit will become more and more
important; loss of personal liberties and human rights; and
highly-restricted monetary and economic policies.)
I base this speculation on the fact that the Bible says the
World-Government Beast will be Scarlet Red. That represents
Socialism-Communism. I believe that Socialism will become the
ruling global political force, dominating the United States and
pushing back against Islam. Socialism and economic sanctions,
via the Mark of the Beast, (I believe) will be the tool used by
the New World Order to subdue Islam as best they can.
Before the Mark of the Beast is finally introduced, you are
likely to see a cashless "smart card" system fast-tracked into
global use. The entire infrastructure of such system is already
in place and ready to be implemented. Verichip Corporation and
its successors are waiting in the wings to implant computer
chips in everyone's hands, which will be linked to the global
banking system as well - truly, the Mark of the Beast!
The SIXTH TRUMPET WAR will cause unspeakable international chaos and
devastation. That certainly seems to be SYNONYMOUS, or at least
CONCURRENT, with the GREAT TRIBULATION. I am more inclined now than
ever to believe that the SIXTH TRUMPET will occur in the last 3 1/2
years before Armageddon.
Armageddon will occur when international armies surround Jerusalem
for the final overthrow of Israel, and Jesus Christ comes with all
His saints to save Israel.
The Bible teaches that Israel will finally be consumed,
immediately before Jesus returns.
In Moses' day, God warned Israel that if they “despise my statutes,
...abhor my judgments, ...not do all my commandments, ...break my
covenant,” He would put terror and consumption upon them
(Leviticus 26:15). Again, in Deuteronomy 28, He threatened to “ consume”
them from off the land. The battle of Armageddon will be the last
cleansing, performed by Jesus Christ, prior to the
restitution of all things (Acts 3:21).
Isaiah 10:17 - “And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his
Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns
and his briers in one day.”
The Consummation Of Israel
In the middle of the week, the Man of Sin will terminate the
offerings of sacrifices in the Third Jewish Temple “even until
THE CONSUMMATION.” What does that mean? From Joshua's day, God
warned, “If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he
will turn and do you hurt, and CONSUME you,” Joshua 24:20.
The horrifying events leading to the battle of Armageddon will
CONSUME Israel, except for 144,000 divinely-protected Jews. If
those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved (Matthew
24:22). At Armageddon, Jesus will save and restore Israel.
Daniel 9:27 - “...he shall make it DESOLATE, even UNTIL THE
CONSUMATION.”
EVENT #8. The Wrath of God (Seven Vials of Wrath).
The Saints are "not appointed to" God's wrath at this time. (I
Thessalonians 5). That means they will be immune to or protected
from the Vials of God's Wrath. If you will notice, none of them
apply to the saints. (Remember how Israel was immune to harm when
the plagues came upon Egypt in Moses' day.)
VIAL 1. Will be SORES on all who have Mark of the Beast
(Revelation 16:2)
VIAL 2. Will be DEATH in the Seas (Revelation 16:3)
VIAL 3. Will be RIVERS turning to Blood because men have
shed the blood of saints (Revelation 16:4)
VIAL 4. The SUN will scorch men with fire (Revelation
16:8,9)
VIAL 5. Kingdom of the Beast will be turned to darkness,
pain and sores (Revelation 16:10,11)
VIAL 6. The Euphrates River will be dried up to make way
for kings of the East. Armies will move into place for
Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12). Three spirits like frogs proceed
out of the mouth of Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet
deceiving the people and working miracles, and gathering them
together for Armageddon (16:3)
EVENT #9. The Last Trumpet, (Seventh Trumpet), The Rapture of the
Church and the First Resurrection (of the righteous dead) (Rev.
20:4,5 Rev. 19:9)
Jesus will come as a thief (to the unprepared, but not to
the righteous) (16:15,16) All these facts seem to imply that the
Church will still be on earth, nevertheless exempt and
protected, during the first six vials of God's wrath.
Please see my article,
When Will the Rapture and First Resurrection Take Place?
VIAL 7. A great earthquake signals the beginning of the
Battle of Armageddon. Voices, thunders, lightning, greatest
earthquake ever.
Mystery Babylon (Rome, the Vatican, and the Roman
Catholic Church) will be violently destroyed. This will be one
of the most cataclysmic events in the history of the world.
Rome will be utterly destroyed, divided into three parts
by massive earthquakes and fire from God (16:17-21 and chapter
18). It will NEVER be inhabited again.
Cities around the earth will fall as the earth heaves under the
wrath of God. This will occur immediately before Jesus Christ
returns for the great and final battle of Armageddon.
Before God sends earthquakes and fire, the Ten Horns
(yet-unknown Kings) will receive power one hour with the Beast
to make war with the Lamb (Revelation 17:12-14)
The Ten Horns will hate the Whore (Roman Catholic Church) "and
make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and
to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words
of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is
that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth,"
(Revelation 17:16-18).
The Judgment of the Great Whore, Mystery Babylon falls
(Revelation 17,18)
So Rome will first be assaulted by raging enemies, even before
the wrath of God from heaven falls on Rome.
Mystery Babylon will fall (read Revelation 18), when Jesus
Christ returns.
Between now and then, there will be massive changes in the
Vatican. There is a world-wide expectation of a soon-coming
"evil Pope" who will overthrow the present Catholic hierarchy.
The Harlot Church will be betrayed and destroyed, possibly from
within.
When the Seventh Vial of the Wrath of God is poured out, the Ten
Kings of the New World Order will hate the Whore and set out to
destroy it. The Catholic Church at Rome will be destroyed,
according to this prophecy. I strongly suspect that the Ten
Horns will be the leaders of ten European nations (perhaps the
Western European Union) BUT they will be heavily influenced, if
not CONTROLLED, by ISLAM!! Islam in Europe is gaining power by
leaps and bounds, even as I write this. A ten-king Islamic
European power will HATE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH and DESTROY IT.
That is how I see it coming.
It will all come to a resolution with Jesus Christ comes to
intervene at Armageddon.
The False Prophet (the Pope) will survive the calamity, only to
be personally cast bodily into the lake of fire by the angels of
Jesus Christ at that time.
EVENT #10. The Second Coming of Jesus with his saints from
the Eastern skies to the Eastern Gate of the Temple Mount, arriving
at the Mount of Olives and the Valley of Kidron/Jehoshaphat.
A massive earthquake will occur, and the worst battle of all times
will begin:
Ezekiel's War (ch. 38,39) which culminates as the Battle
of Armageddon.
The dead bodies of kings and generals will become the Supper of the
Great God (fowls eat the flesh of kings) (Revelation 19:17-19).
EVENT #11. Ezekiel's War / Armageddon will be fought and won by
Jesus Christ (Ezekiel 38 & 39)
The Beast and False Prophet will be cast into hell , and
Satan will be bound 1000 years (Revelation 20)
EVENT #12. Jesus will enter Jerusalem and establish His kingdom
there for 1000 years in a fully-reclaimed Holy Land, with
expanded boundaries to include everything originally promised to
Abraham and Moses from antiquity (Ezekiel 40-48). He will rule the
entire world, having Jerusalem as His international headquarters.
Gentile Saints will rule and reign as Kings and Priests in all the
nations of the world for 1000 years.
IN A NUTSHELL:
The Rapture and First Resurrection will take place almost
concurrently with the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Trumpet and the
Seventh Vial.
They all converge for a singular conclusion.
Jesus taught that the SAME DAY Noah entered into the Ark the rain
began.
Jesus said that the SAME DAY that Lot fled Sodom and Gomorrah, the
fire fell.
So... the SAME DAY the Rapture takes place, the Battle of
Armageddon will begin!
The saints who were just resurrected will immediately return to
earth with Jesus Christ to participate with Him in this glorious
event in Jerusalem.
THE MILLENNIUM
EVENT #13. 1000-year Reign of Jesus on earth with the Saints as
Kings and Priests
EVENT #14. Satan will be loosed for short time, and will
attempt to launch another War. But he will fail. Instead, Satan will
be cast into hell for eternity.
THE END
EVENT #15. The Earth and the firmaments will melt with a fervent
heat (1 Peter 3:10-12) Time shall be no more.
EVENT #16. The New Heaven and the New Earth, the New Jerusalem,
and the Eternal Kingdom of God will be revealed.
Are YOU getting ready? May I humbly suggest that you put all your
personal and private agendas on the back burner and take a brutally
honest inventory of where you stand in preparedness for these
exciting but apocalyptic events?
Our PHYSICAL safety and well-being are secondary issues to our
SPIRITUAL safety and well-being. These prophecies deserve our utmost
attention and utmost efforts in preparation for the most
revolutionary time in the history of mankind.
You and I owe it to ourselves and our families to set the highest
priorities for both saving our souls and our hides.
"What must I do to be saved?"
John 3:5 - "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God."
Acts 2:38 - "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Find a church that preaches and practices the whole Apostolic
Doctrine, obey Acts 2:38, and live a holy, Godly life until Jesus
comes.

Obama covers a long list of topics in his speech to Israeli students and other
citizens in Jerusalem.
Below is President Obama's speech to the Israeli people, Thursday, March 21,
2013.
Shalom. It is an honor to be here with you in Jerusalem, and I am so
grateful for the welcome that I have received from the people of Israel. I
bring with me the support of the American people, and the friendship that
binds us together.
Over the last two days, I have reaffirmed the bonds
between our countries with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Peres. I
have borne witness to the ancient history of the Jewish people at the Shrine
of the Book, and I have seen Israel’s shining future in your scientists and
entrepreneurs. This is a nation of museums and patents, timeless holy sites
and ground-breaking innovation. Only in Israel could you see the Dead Sea
Scrolls and the place where the technology on board the Mars Rover
originated. But what I’ve looked forward to the most is the ability to speak
directly to you, the Israeli people, especially so many young people, about
the history that brought us here today, and the future that you will make in
the years to come.
Now I know that in Israel’s vibrant democracy, every word and gesture is
carefully scrutinized. But just so you know, any drama between me and my
friend Bibi over the years was just a plot to create material for
Eretz Nehederet.
I also know that I come to Israel on the eve of a sacred holiday – the
celebration of Passover. And that is where I would like to begin today. Just
a few days from now, Jews here in Israel and around the world will sit with
family and friends at the Seder table, and celebrate with songs, wine and
symbolic foods. After enjoying Seders with family and friends in Chicago and
on the campaign trail, I’m proud to have brought this tradition into the
White House. I did so because I wanted my daughters to experience the
Haggadah, and the story at the center of Passover that makes this time of
year so powerful.
It is a story of centuries of slavery, and years of wandering in the desert;
a story of perseverance amidst persecution, and faith in God and the Torah.
It is a story about finding freedom in your own land. For the Jewish people,
this story is central to who you have become. But it is also a story that
holds within it the universal human experience, with all of its suffering
and salvation. It is a part of the three great religions – Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam – that trace their origins to Abraham, and see
Jerusalem as sacred. And it is a story that has inspired communities around
the globe, including me and my fellow Americans.
In the United States – a nation made up of people who crossed oceans to
start anew – we are naturally drawn to the idea of finding freedom in our
land. To African-Americans, the story of the Exodus told a powerful tale
about emerging from the grip of bondage to reach for liberty and human
dignity – a tale that was carried from slavery through the civil rights
movement. For generations, this promise helped people weather poverty and
persecution, while holding on to the hope that a better day was on the
horizon. For me personally, growing up in far-flung parts of the world and
without firm roots, it spoke to a yearning within every human being for a
home.
Of course, even as we draw strength from the story of God’s will and His
gift of freedom expressed on Passover, we know that here on Earth we must
bear our responsibilities in an imperfect world. That means accepting our
measure of sacrifice and struggle, and working – through generation after
generation – on behalf of that ideal of freedom. As Dr. Martin Luther King
said on the day before he was killed – “I may not get there with you. But I
want you to know that… we, as a people, will get to the promised land.” So
just as Joshua carried on after Moses, the work goes on – for justice and
dignity; for opportunity and freedom.
For the Jewish people, the journey to the promise of the State of Israel
wound through countless generations. It involved centuries of suffering and
exile, prejudice, pogroms and even genocide. Through it all, the Jewish
people sustained their unique identity and traditions, as well as a longing
to return home. And while Jews achieved extraordinary success in many parts
of the world, the dream of true freedom finally found its full expression in
the Zionist idea – to be a free people in your homeland.
That is why I believe that Israel is rooted not just in history and
tradition, but also in a simple and profound idea: the idea that people
deserve to be free in a land of their own. And over the last 65 years, when
Israel has been at its best, Israelis have demonstrated that responsibility
does not end when you reach the promised land, it only begins.
And so Israel has been a refuge for the diaspora – welcoming Jews from
Europe to the former Soviet Union; from Ethiopia to North Africa.
Israel has built a prosperous nation – through kibbutzeem that made the
desert bloom, business that broadened the middle class, and innovators who
reached new frontiers – from the smallest microchip to the orbits of space.
Israel has established a thriving democracy – with a spirited civil society,
proud political parties, a tireless free press, and a lively public debate –
lively may even be an understatement.
And Israel has achieved this even as it has overcome relentless threats to
its security – through the courage of the Israel Defense Forces, and a
citizenry that is resilient in the face of terror.
This is the story of Israel. This is the work that has brought the dreams of
so many generations to life. And every step of the way, Israel has built
unbreakable bonds of friendship with the United States of America.
Those ties began only eleven minutes after Israeli independence, when the
United States was the first nation to recognize the State of Israel. As
President Truman said in explaining his decision to recognize Israel, “I
believe it has a glorious future before it not just as another sovereign
nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization”
Since then, we have built a friendship that advances our shared interests.
Together, we share a commitment to security for our citizens and the
stability of the Middle East and North Africa. Together, we share a focus on
advancing economic growth around the globe, and strengthening the middle
class within our countries. Together, we share a stake in the success of
democracy.
But the source of our friendship extends beyond interests, just as it has
transcended political parties and individual leaders. America is a nation of
immigrants. We are strengthened by diversity. We are enriched by faith. We
are governed not simply by men and women, but by laws. We are fueled by
entrepreneurship and innovation. And we are defined by a democratic
discourse that allows each generation to re-imagine and renew our union once
more. So in Israel, we see values that we share, even as we recognize what
makes us different.
Yet I stand here today mindful that for both our nations, these are
complicated times. We have difficult issues to work through within our own
countries, and we face danger and upheaval in the world. When I look at
young people within the United States, I think about the choices that they
must make in their lives to define who we will be as a nation in this 21st
century, particularly as we emerge from two wars and a painful recession. No
matter how great the challenges are, their idealism, their energy, and their
ambition always gives me hope.
I see the same spirit in the young people here today. And given the ties
between our countries, I believe your future is bound to ours. So I’d like
to focus on how we can work together to make progress in three areas that
will define our times: security, peace, and prosperity.
I will begin with security. I am proud that the security relationship
between the United States and Israel has never been stronger: more exercises
between our militaries, and more exchanges among our political, military and
intelligence officials than ever before; the largest program to date to help
you retain your qualitative military edge. Those are the facts. But to me,
this is not simply measured on the balance sheet. I know that here, in
Israel, security is something personal. So let me tell you what I think
about when I consider these issues.
When I consider Israel’s security, I think about children like Osher Twito,
who I met in Sderot – children, the same age as my own daughters, who went
to bed at night fearful that a rocket would land in their bedroom simply
because of who they are and where they live. That’s why we’ve invested in
the Iron Dome system to save countless lives – because those children
deserve to sleep better at night. That’s why we have made it clear, time and
again, that Israel cannot accept rocket attacks from Gaza, and have stood up
for Israel’s right to defend itself. And that’s why Israel has a right to
expect Hamas to renounce violence and recognize Israel’s right to exist.
I think about five Israelis who boarded a bus in Bulgaria, who were blown up
because of where they came from; who were robbed of the ability to live, and
love, and raise families. That’s why every country that values justice
should call Hezbollah what it truly is – a terrorist organization. Because
the world cannot tolerate an organization that murders innocent civilians,
stockpiles rockets to shoot at cities, and supports the massacre of men,
women and children in Syria.
The fact that Hezbollah’s ally – the Assad regime – has stockpiles of
chemical weapons only heightens the urgency. We will continue to cooperate
closely to guard against that danger. And I have made it clear to Bashar
al-Assad and all who follow his orders: we will not tolerate the use of
chemical weapons against the Syrian people or the transfer of these weapons
to terrorists. The world is watching, and we will hold you accountable.
America will also insist that the Syrian people have the right to be freed
from the grip of a dictator who would rather kill his own people than
relinquish power. Assad must go so that Syria’s future can begin. Because
true stability in Syria depends upon establishing a government that is
responsive to its people – one that protects all communities within its
borders, while making peace with countries beyond them.
When I consider Israel’s security, I also think about a people who have a
living memory of the Holocaust, faced with the prospect of a nuclear-armed
Iranian government that has called for Israel’s destruction. It’s no wonder
Israelis view this as an existential threat. But this is not simply a
challenge for Israel – it is a danger for the entire world, including the
United States. It would raise the risk of nuclear terrorism, undermine the
non-proliferation regime, spark an arms race in a volatile region, and
embolden a government that has shown no respect for the rights of its own
people or the responsibilities of nations.
That is why America has built a coalition to increase the cost to Iran of
failing to meet their obligations. The Iranian government is now under more
pressure than ever before, and that pressure is increasing. It is isolated.
Its economy is in a dire condition. Its leadership is divided. And its
position – in the region, and the world – has only grown weaker.
All of us have an interest in resolving this issue peacefully. Strong and
principled diplomacy is the best way to ensure that the Iranian government
forsakes nuclear weapons. Moreover, peace is far more preferable to war, and
the inevitable costs – and unintended consequences – that would come with
it. Because of the cooperation between our governments, we know that there
remains time to pursue a diplomatic resolution. That is what America will do
– with clear eyes – working with a world that is united, and with the sense
of urgency that is required.
But Iran must know this time is not unlimited. And I have made the position
of the United States of America clear: Iran must not get a nuclear weapon.
This is not a danger that can be contained. As President, I have said to the
world that all options are on the table for achieving our objectives.
America will do what we must to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
For young Israelis, I know that these issues of security are rooted in an
experience that is even more fundamental than the pressing threat of the
day. You live in a neighborhood where many of your neighbors have rejected
your right to exist. Your grandparents had to risk their lives and all they
had to make a place for themselves in this world. Your parents lived through
war after war to ensure the survival of the Jewish state. Your children grow
up knowing that people they have never met hate them because of who they
are, in a region that is changing underneath your feet.
So that is what I think about when Israel is faced with these challenges –
that sense of an Israel that is surrounded by many in this region who reject
it, and many in the world who refuse to accept it. That is why the security
of the Jewish people in Israel is so important – because it can never be
taken for granted. But make no mistake: those who adhere to the ideology of
rejecting Israel’s right to exist might as well reject the earth beneath
them and the sky above, because Israel is not going anywhere. Today, I want
to tell you – particularly the young people – that so long as there is a
United States of America, Ah-tem lo lah-vahd.
The question, then, is what kind of future Israel will look forward to. And
that brings me to the subject of peace.
I know Israel has taken risks for peace. Brave leaders – Menachem Begin and
Yitzhak Rabin –reached treaties with two of your neighbors. You made
credible proposals to the Palestinians at Annapolis. You withdrew from Gaza
and Lebanon, and then faced terror and rockets. Across the region, you have
extended a hand of friendship, and too often have been confronted with the
ugly reality of anti-Semitism. So I believe that the Israeli people do want
peace, and you have every right to be skeptical that it can be achieved.
But today, Israel is at a crossroads. It can be tempting to put aside the
frustrations and sacrifices that come with the pursuit of peace –
particularly when an Iron Dome repels rockets, barriers keep out suicide
bombers, and so many other pressing issues demand your attention. And I know
that only Israelis can make the fundamental decisions about your country’s
future.
I also know that not everyone in this hall will agree with what I have to
say about peace. I recognize that there are those who are not simply
skeptical about peace, but question its underlying premise, and that’s a
part of democracy and the discourse between our two countries. But it is
important to be open and honest with one another. Politically, given the
strong bipartisan support for Israel in America, the easiest thing for me to
do would be to put this issue aside, and express unconditional support for
whatever Israel decides to do. But I want you to know that I speak to you as
a friend who is deeply concerned and committed to your future, and I ask you
to consider three points.
First, peace is necessary. Indeed, it is the only path to true security. You
can be the generation that permanently secures the Zionist dream, or you can
face a growing challenge to its future. Given the demographics west of the
Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and
democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable
Palestine. Given the frustration in the international community, Israel must
reverse an undertow of isolation. And given the march of technology, the
only way to truly protect the Israeli people is through the absence of war –
because no wall is high enough, and no Iron Dome is strong enough, to stop
every enemy from inflicting harm.
This truth is more pronounced given the changes sweeping the Arab World. I
recognize that with the uncertainty in the region – people in the streets,
changes in leadership, the rise of non-secular parties in politics –it is
tempting to turn inward. But this is precisely the time to respond to the
wave of revolution with a resolve for peace. As more governments respond to
popular will, the days when Israel could seek peace with a handful of
autocratic leaders are over. Peace must be made among peoples, not just
governments. No one step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and
minds of millions. But progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to
begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and division.
Second, peace is just. There is no question that Israel has faced
Palestinian factions who turned to terror, and leaders who missed historic
opportunities. That is why security must be at the center of any agreement.
And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiation.
That is why, despite the criticism we’ve received, the United States will
oppose unilateral efforts to bypass negotiations through the United Nations.
But the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and justice must
also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes – look at the world through
their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a
state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that
controls the movements of her parents every single day. It is not just when
settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished. It is not right to
prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; to restrict a student’s
ability to move around the West Bank; or to displace Palestinian families
from their home. Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as
Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a
free people in their own land.
Only you can determine what kind of democracy you will have. But remember
that as you make these decisions, you will define not simply the future of
your relationship with the Palestinians – you will define the future of
Israel as well. As Ariel Sharon said, “It is impossible to have a Jewish,
democratic state and at the same time to control all of Eretz Israel. If we
insist on fulfilling the dream in its entirety, we are liable to lose it
all.” Or, from a different perspective, think of what David Grossman said
shortly after losing his son, as he described the necessity of peace – “a
peace of no choice” he said, “must be approached with the same determination
and creativity as one approaches a war of no choice.”
Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is
dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with
the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in
President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad. Over the last few years, they
have built institutions and maintained security on the West Bank in ways
that few would have imagined a decade ago. So many Palestinians – including
young people – have rejected violence as a means of achieving their
aspirations.
Which leads to my third point: peace is possible. I know it doesn’t seem
that way. There will always be a reason to avoid risk, and there’s a cost
for failure. There will always be extremists who provide an excuse to not
act. And there is something exhausting about endless talks about talks; the
daily controversies, and grinding status quo.
Negotiations will be necessary, but there is little secret about where they
must lead – two states for two peoples. There will be differences about how
to get there, and hard choices along the way. Arab States must adapt to a
world that has changed. The days when they could condemn Israel to distract
their people from a lack of opportunity are over. Now is the time for the
Arab World to take steps toward normalized relations with Israel. Meanwhile,
Palestinians must recognize that Israel will be a Jewish state, and that
Israelis have the right to insist upon their security. Israelis must
recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the
cause of peace, and that an independent Palestine must be viable– that real
borders will have to be drawn. I’ve suggested principles on territory and
security that I believe can be the basis for talks. But for the moment, put
aside the plans and process. I ask you, instead, to think about what can be
done to build trust between people.
Four years ago, I stood in Cairo in front of an audience of young people.
Politically, religiously, they must seem a world away. But the things they
want – they’re not so different from you. The ability to make their own
decisions; to get an education and a good job; to worship God in their own
way; to get married and have a family. The same is true of the young
Palestinians that I met in Ramallah this morning, and of young Palestinians
who yearn for a better life in Gaza.
That is where peace begins – not just in the plans of leaders, but in the
hearts of people; not just in a carefully designed process, but in the daily
connections that take place among those who live together in this land, and
in this sacred city of Jerusalem. Speaking as a politician, I can promise
you this: political leaders will not take risks if the people do not demand
that they do. You must create the change that you want to see.
I know this is possible. Look to the bridges being built in business and
civil society by some of you here today. Look at young people who have not
yet learned a reason to mistrust, and those who have learned to overcome a
legacy of mistrust that they inherited from their parents because of the
simple recognition that we hold more hopes in common than the fear that
drives us apart. Your voices must be louder than the extremists who would
drown them out. Your hopes must light the way forward. Look to a future in
which Jews, Muslims and Christians can all live in peace and greater
prosperity in this Holy Land. Look to the future that you want for your own
children – a future in which a Jewish, democratic state is protected and
accepted, for this time and for all time.
There will be many voices that say this change is not possible. But remember
this: Israel is the most powerful country in this region. Israel has the
unshakeable support of the most powerful country in the world. Israel has
the wisdom to see the world as it is, but also the courage to see the world
as it should be. Ben Gurion once said, “In Israel, in order to be a realist
you must believe in miracles.” Sometimes, the greatest miracle is
recognizing that the world can change. After all, that is a lesson that the
world learned from the Jewish people.
That brings me to the final area I will focus on: prosperity, and Israel’s
broader role in the world. I know that all the talk about security and peace
can seem distant from other concerns that you have in your daily lives. And
every day, even amidst the threats you face, Israelis are defining
themselves by the opportunities you create.
Through talent and hard work, Israelis have put this small country at the
forefront of the global economy. Israelis understand the value of education,
and have produced 10 Nobel laureates. Israelis understand the power of
invention, and your universities educate engineers and inventors. That
spirit has led to economic growth and human progress: solar power and
electric cars; bandages and prosthetic limbs that save lives; stem cell
research and new drugs that treat disease; cell phones and computer
technology that change the way we live. If people want to see the future of
the world economy, they should look at Tel Aviv: home to hundreds of
start-ups and research centers. And Israelis are so active on social media
that every day seemed to bring a different Facebook campaign about where I
should give this speech.
That innovation is just as important to the relationship between the United
States and Israel as our security cooperation. Our first free trade
agreement in the world was reached with Israel nearly three decades ago, and
today the trade between our two countries is at 40 billion dollars each
year. More importantly, that partnership is creating new products and
medical treatments, and pushing new frontiers of science and exploration.
That is the kind of relationship that Israel should have – and could have –
with every country in the world. Already, we see how that innovation could
reshape this region. One program here in Jerusalem brings together young
Israelis and Palestinians to learn vital skills in technology and business.
An Israeli and Palestinian have started a venture capital fund to finance
Palestinian start-ups. Over 100 high-tech companies have found a home on the
West Bank, which speaks to the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of the
Palestinian people.
One of the great ironies of what is happening in the broader region is that
so much of what people are yearning for – education and entrepreneurship;
the ability to start a business without paying a bribe, to connect to the
global economy – those things can be found in Israel. This should be a hub
for thriving regional trade, and an engine of opportunity. And this is
already a center for innovation that helps power the global economy. I
believe that all of that potential for prosperity can be enhanced with
greater security, and a lasting peace.
Here, in this small strip of land that has been the center of so much
tragedy and triumph, Israelis have built something that few could imagine
sixty-five years ago. Tomorrow, I will pay tribute to that history – at the
grave of Herzl, a man who had the foresight to see that the future of the
Jewish people had to be reconnected to their past; at the grave of Rabin,
who understood that Israel’s victories in war had to be followed by battles
for peace; and at Yad Vashem, where the world is reminded of the cloud of
evil that can descend on the Jewish people and all of humanity if we fail to
remain ever vigilant.
We bear that history on our shoulders, and we carry it in our hearts. Today,
as we face the twilight of Israel’s founding generation, you – the young
people of Israel – must now claim the future. It falls to you to write the
next chapter in the story of this great nation.
As the President of a country that you can count on as your greatest friend,
I am confident that you can help us find the promise in the days that lie
ahead. And as a man who has been inspired in my own life by that timeless
calling within the Jewish experience – tikkun olam
– I am hopeful that we can draw upon what’s best in ourselves to meet the
challenges that will come; to win the battles for peace in the wake of so
much war; and to do the work of repairing this world. May God bless you, and
may God bless Israel and the United States of America.
Toda raba.

people across the two countries. Pakistan's interior minister, A Rehman
Malik, said that he has come to India with a message of peace and

together with India for moving forward for the sake of future
generations.

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.
