NEWS UPDATE: LONDON TIMES 09/05/06)
Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, will invite the Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas for peace talks, but only after the release
of a kidnapped Israeli soldier, his deputy said today.
Shimon Peres said that the peace talks would be based on the
internationally-backed "roadmap" which was launched
in 2003.
The Israeli leader and Mr Abbas, who is from the moderate Fatah
party, have met only once since Mr Olmert became Prime Minister,
during an informal setting in June.
We have to call on Abu Mazen [Mr Abbas] to meet and in my opinion
the Prime Minister will do so in the coming days, Mr Peres, the
Deputy Israeli Prime Minister, told Army Radio.
We have to conduct negotiations on the basis of the roadmap,
he added.

ROAD MAP TO PEACE?
ISRAEL WILL MAKE A COVENANT WITH MANY
"And he (the beast) shall confirm (guarantee) the covenant
with many for one week"(Daniel 9:27).
The beast will confirm (guarantee) Israel's soon-coming covenant
for one week of years (seven years). This confirmation event
indicates the very first day of the seven-year tribulation.
Can the beast confirm a non-existent treaty? NO! The treaty must
come into existence before the first day of the tribulation.
Can the beast confirm the agreement if he is not already in
a position of great political authority to do so? NO! The beast
must already be in position before the tribulation begins. Israel's
covenant is now in the works.
President Bush developed a "road map" to Israeli-Palestinian
peace. This "road map" has been adopted by the European
Union (EU), Russia and the United Nations (UN). These four are
called "the Quartet."
GOD SAYS ISRAEL'S COMING COVENANT IS, "A COVENANT WITH
DEATH; AN AGREEMENT WITH HELL"
Please read Isaiah 28:14-21 from your own Bible:
"And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and
your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by
it" (Isaiah 28:18).
Who, or what, is the "overflowing scourge?" There
are two verses in our passage (Isaiah 28:14-21) that identify
the "overflowing scourge." The Bible says:
"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion
for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste"
(Isaiah 28:16).
"For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall
be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work,
his strange work; and bring to pass his act his strange act"
(Isaiah 28:21).
Yes, "the overflowing scourge," which is the Lord Jesus
Christ, shall disannul Israel's "covenant with many,"
which is "a covenant with death, and an agreement with hell."
Dont think for a moment that Israel's soon-coming covenant
will bring peace to Israel and the Mid-East.
On the first day of the week of years (seven yrs.), the beast
will confirm Israel's covenant with death and hell. "And
in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation
to cease" (Dan. 9:27). The beast; three and a half years
after he confirms Israel's covenant, will cause the sacrifices
to cease in the newly rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. Nevertheless,
the beast remains the guarantor of Israel's covenant until the
last day of the week of years, until the overflowing scourge
(King Jesus) passes through in judgment at His Second Coming
to Israel. Of the beast, the Bible says: "And there was
given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue FORTY AND TWO MONTHS"
(Revelation 13:5).
Eighty-four months (seven years) from the beast's confirmation
of Israel's covenant, the "the overflowing scourge"
will come:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and
he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. And he hath on his vesture and on
his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that
had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These BOTH were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone" (Revelation 19:11, 16 & 20).
I repeat, "the overflowing scourge," "THE
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" shall disannull Israel's
covenant with many, which is a covenant with death and hell.
I repeat, the coming Israeli covenant, confirmed by the beast,
will never bring peace and safety to Israel and the Mid-east.
See
I Thess. 5:3.
In days gone by, God said to the sons of Israel, before they
entered their Promised Land from Egypt, "Thou shalt make
no covenant with them...." (Exodus 23:32). Later God said,
"Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on
horses and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen,
because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy
One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!"
(Isaiah 31:1).
Woe to the sons of Israel who look to the U.S. to guarantee
(confirm) their covenant! But "they look not unto the
Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!"
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).
THE PROMISED
LAND
God made a covenant with Abram (Abraham) which promises Abraham
and his seed the land from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates
River. The Bible says:
"In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt
unto the great river, the river Euphrates" (Genesis 15:18).
Now, President Bush thinks he has a better plan. President
Bush endeavors to supersede God and divide and share Israel's
Promised Land with the Palestinian Muslims. President Bush is
the enemy of God and Israel!
SATAN IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD
"In whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD hath blinded the minds of
them that believe not" (II Cor. 4:4).
Satan, the god of this world, offered Jesus all the kingdoms
of the world if Jesus would fall down and worship him (Matt.
4:8 & 9). That was a legitimate offer as all the kingdoms
of this world, then and now, belong to Satan, including the United
States of America. Also from the book of Daniel we learn that
the political leaders of this world are controlled by Satan with
his demons (Daniel 10:13). Therefore, don't be deceived by political
leaders who may even give lip service to God and/or Jesus. "And
no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall
be according to their works"
(II Cor. 11:14 & 15).
From Revelation 17, verses 3 & 7, we learn that the Babylonian
MOTHER OF HARLOTS (Roman Catholicism) and her many harlot daughter
"churches" "sit upon" and are "carried"
by the political beast. Many "Christians," including
Baptists, are being 'taken for a ride' by President Bush. True
Christians, correctly tutored, are not deceived by the world's
politicians; especially by anyone offering a "road map"
to Israeli and Mid-East peace. There will never be peace in
Israel until the Lord Jesus Christ , the "Prince of Peace,"
returns to earth and establishes His world-wide kingdom for a
thousand years with Jerusalem as its capital.
Immediately prior to the first day of the tribulation and the
covenant confirmation ceremony, something exciting is going to
happen to the true believers in Christ Jesus:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (I
Thessalonians 4:16-18).
