Guns, Funds, and Supplies will One Day be Used against Israel!
June 19, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
Am I opposed to guns, funds, and supplies being poured into the West Bank to the new Fatah terrorist government just established by Abbas? Absolutely not! Why? Because I believe this is the beginning of a process which will eventually lead to the beginning of the last three and one-half years of a period of tribulation, which will close with the final battle known as Armageddon, at which time the Second Advent will occur.
Even though I am very confident that eventually all the weapons, funds, and supplies will eventually wind up in the hands of a united Fatah and Hamas when they eventually attack Israel, I am anxious, after waiting some 40 years for the situation to ripen in the Middle East, to see this show get on the road, because it ends with the Second Advent of my Messiah. I also have a second incentive for Middle East War to break out as soon as possible – during my period of waiting for Israel to be attacked from the north, from age 35 to 75, the tent in which my soul lives has gone through Vietnam, the raising of seven children, five by-passes, more than 600 weeks of presenting geological end time lectures in universities, seminaries, schools, and churches, and being a pastor of a Missionary Baptist Church for 33 years.
This tent has more aches and pains than two handfuls of pills a day can bring under control.
I am more then ready for the final curtain of this Age of the Gentiles to come down.
I apologize to those of you who are saved, but still want to stick around until your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up, and also to expectant mothers and those with babies – believe me when I tell you I do understand how you feel – it is only natural – it was what I wanted when I went through those stages of life. But sooner or later it has to happen to some generation, and I believe this is this is the generation in which it will occur.
Who knows, maybe we will both get our wish – maybe I am wrong about this being the last generation, and you will get your wish. And since I believe that physical death for a saved man or woman is simply an early rapture, maybe I will be fortunate enough to die before 2013, and leave you here to get your wish.
The following articles, from two sources, tell of the beginning of a great resurgence of full blown support flowing back into the hands of the Fatah terrorists, part of which will eventually be shared with the Hamas terrorists, to be used against Israel in the final great war of this age.

US lifts financial and political embargo from PA gov’t
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
June 18, 2007
The United States on Monday lifted its economic and political embargo against the Palestinian government, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced.
The move follows the expulsion of Hamas from the Palestinian Authority, and is meant to strengthen Western-backed PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas by resuming direct US aid.
Rice said she had informed new PA Prime M
inister Salam Fayyad of the decision in phone call.
“I told him the United States would resume full assistance to the Palestinian government and normal government-to-government contacts,” she told reporters at the State Department. “I told the prime minister that we want to work with his government and support his efforts to enforce the rule of law and to ensure a better life for the Palestinian people.”
“We intend to lift our financial restrictions on the Palestinian government, which has accepted previous agreements with Israel and rejects the path of violence. This will enable the American people and American financial institutions to resume normal economic and commercial ties with the Palestinaian government,” Rice said.
She said the administration would ask Congress to rework a previous $86 million aid request. That money had been intended to help shore up Abbas’s security forces but could now be put to other uses.
Separately, Rice said the United States would contribute an additional $40 million (€29.8 million) to the United Nations to help Palestinians, particularly in the Gaza Strip, which is now controlled by Hamas.
“Through its actions, Hamas sought to divide the Palestinan nation. We reject that,” Rice said. “It is the position of the United States that there one Palestinian people and there should be one Palestinian state.”
“We are not going to countenance that somehow the Palestinians are divisible,” she said “We are not going to abandon the Palestinians living in Gaza.”
Hamas seized control of Gaza last week after a series of battles with Abbas’s Fatah movement. The violence left Gaza increasingly isolated, a situation that worsened Sunday when an Israeli fuel company cut off deliveries to gas stations in the impoverished coastal strip.
Earlier Monday, President George W.
Bush spoke with Abbas to express full US support for his decision to dissolve the government, swear in an emergency cabinet and outlaw the forces of Hamas, the White House said.
In the call, Bush noted that he plans to meet Tuesday with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and that he would share their thoughts on how to continue, White House press secretary Tony Snow said.
“What’s important is, you have to have a partner who is committed to peace, and we believe that [Chairman] Abbas is,” Snow said. “And therefore we are committed to working with this new emergency government.”
The move essentially resets US policy to the days before Hamas swept legislative elections in early 2006 and upended US and international peacemaking.
The United States, Israel and the European Union regard Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Some in the United States and in Europe have advocated a policy dubbed “West Bank first” in which the West Bank would stand as an example of what a future Palestinian state could be.
Critics on the other side say that leaves Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip without assistance. Europeans oppose this idea, and still others worry it would leave the Gaza Strip open to funding and influence from Iran and Syria.

Olmert says he will release frozen tax funds to the PA
HERB KEINON, Jerusalem Post correspondent, THE JERUSALEM POST
June 18, 2007
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday evening he would release frozen tax revenue to the Palestinian Authority and remove some West Bank blockades.
His words came on the eve of his visit to Washington, where the US Administration was expected to ask him to take significant steps to bolster Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, in order to show the Palestinians what they have to gain under the “moderates,” as opposed to what they have to lose under the extremists.
“We will cooperate with this government,” Olmert said in a Manhattan address to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
“We will defreeze monies that we kept under our control because we didn’t want these monies to be taken by Hamas to be used as part of a terrorist action. And we will do what we can to upgrade the quality of life [in the West Bank].”

Europe Seeks European Support to Isolate Gaza
Allyn Fisher-Ilan
Israel sought on Monday to shore up European support for a U.S.-backed strategy of isolating Hamas in Gaza while freeing funds for Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank. Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said she would try to persuade EU foreign ministers in talks in Strasbourg, France, on Monday to continue an aid boycott against the Islamist Hamas which refuses to recognize Israel.
The Bush administration plans to lift a ban on direct aid to Abbas’ government this week. Washington wants to accelerate talks on Palestinian statehood between Olmert and Abbas in the West Bank while isolating Hamas in Gaza. (Reuters)
