Shalom,
Friends of
Israel,
In this
newsletter,
you will
find several
of this
week's
leading
relevant
headlines
and, perhaps
more
importantly,
their
tie-ins with
the Word.
As many of
you already
know, Israel
is rapidly
approaching
one of her
most
vulnerable
and
dangerous
periods in
recent
history, and
all signs
point to it
getting
worse,
before it
gets better.
Through its
relentless
pressure on
Israel to
negotiate
with a
"peace"
partner
whose
ideology is
predicated
upon her
demise, the
United
States has
proven
itself a
most
unworthy
ally of the
Jewish state
in recent
years, but
particularly
in the
recent
months that
have led up
to Tuesday's
summit in
Annapolis.
Continue to
"pray for
the peace of
Jerusalem"
(Psa.
122:6); that
"peace be
within thy
walls" (Psa.
122:7).
Please pray
that George
W. Bush and
Condoleezza
Rice will
recognize
the most
grievous
mistake they
are making
in their
dealings
with Israel
and her
enemies, so
that they
may know
that God's
Word is
sovereign,
and He means
what He says
when He
promises
judgement
upon those
who would
seek to
"divide" His
land (Joel
3:2) and
toil with
Jerusalem
(Zechariah
12:3)
It's been a
very active
couple of
weeks on the
international
stage. Let's
take a look
at some of
this week's
headlines.

America:
On a
Collision
Course with
Zechariah 12
|

It has been
stated, "If you
want to watch
bible prophecy
unfold in this
day and age,
watch the Middle
East; watch
Israel".
Although you may
be hard-pressed
to find a
Christian who
would disagree
with such an
assertion, the
process of
interpreting
biblical
prophecies-whether
they are
fulfilled,
unfulfilled, or
unfolding-may,
at times, be a
little difficult
when attempting
to apply them to
the events
currently
unfolding on the
world's stage.
The
interpretation
either aligns
itself with
another
prophetic
event-past,
present and/or
future-gaining
merit in the
process, or it
simply "fizzles
out" as an error
in human
reasoning.
History provides
clear examples
of both.
However, there
are those
prophetic
writings found
in the Word,
foretold
thousands of
years ago, which
undoubtedly
apply to the
events of the
modern era, even
in this day.
An example that
comes to mind is
the rebirth of
Israel as a
nation (Ezek
34:13) after
2,000 years of
Jewish
dispersion
across the four
corners of the
globe. Moreover,
there are those
prophecy
scholars-such as
highly-respected,
Dr. David Reagan
of Lamb & Lion
Ministries-who
would assert
that the
reunification of
Jerusalem in
1967 exists as
another example
of definitive
prophecy
fulfillment.
(Luke 21:24) The
focus of this
article is the
emergence of a
third example.
Simply put, the
prophecies of
Zechariah 12
serve as the
only logical
explanation for
the manner in
which the
leaders on
today's
international
stage have
aligned
themselves
against Israel.

U.S. Middle East
Policy:
From Failure in
Baghdad to
Desperation in
Jerusalem
|
|

"Desperation".
"Weakness".
These are common
denominators
that may surface
when delving
into the
mindsets of U.S.
President George
W. Bush, Israeli
PM Ehud Olmert,
and PA President
Mahmoud Abbas in
the days leading
up to
highly-maligned
Annapolis peace
summit. Given
the dire nature
and lethal
repercussions
vis-à-vis an
Arab-Israeli
"peace" process
that has a
penchant for
jumping the
tracks, one can,
with every
certainty, come
to the
conclusion that
the ingredients
of "weakness"
and
"desperation",
when thrown into
the "kettle" of
Middle Eastern
diplomacy--yield
unmitigated
disaster. Still,
the kettle has
been lit and
when the three
leaders, as well
as
representatives
from 46 other
countries who
simply could not
pass the
invitation,
convene in
Annapolis next
week, let it be
known that the
bargaining chips
are not on the
table with the
hope that peace,
as it were, will
be
achieved.
On the contrary,
Bush, Olmert,
and Abbas--three
leaders with an
average approval
rating routinely
hovering in the
30-35%
range--merely
require a peace
that will be
perceived.

Annapolis Hors
D'Oeurvres:
The Golan
Heights
|

The plot
thickens.
In the weeks
leading up
to Tuesday's
Arab-Israeli
peace summit
in
Annapolis,
Syria,
technically
still at
"war" with
Israel, has
repeatedly
made it
known to
Condoleezza
Rice and
President
Bush that
they will
neither
enter into
peace talks
with Israel
nor attend
the summit
if the Golan
Heights are
not put "on
the table".
Reports now
indicate
that both
Rice and
Bush have
consented to
the Syrian
demand.
Not for
nothing, if
the Syrian
envoy should
find that
all is not
going as
they'd hoped
in
Annapolis,
perhaps he
should
consider
appealing to
Damascus'
First Lady
herself,
Nancy
Pelosi. Her
penchant for
"causing a
stir" is
substantially
documented.
