A VERY LONG AWAITED EVENT BY BELIEVERS
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Prophetic buffs around the globe for many centuries have been waiting anxiously for a brief false peace to begin just before the last three and one half years of the tribulation period. The end of the false peace will be marked by a vicious attack against Israel from the north by ten Islamic nations, which will culminate with the final great battle of Armageddon some three and one-half years later.
The sequence of events, according to the prophecies is: (1) The attack from the north, in w
hich two-thirds of the Israeli population is killed (Zechariah 13:8), (2) The remnant (remainder) of surviving Israelis are driven into the Negev Wilderness, where they remain for three and one-half years (Revelation 12:6), (3) The Israeli remnant (1.8 Million) at the battle of Armageddon are victorious by the Second Advent of Messiah, and He restores Israel to a greatness she never knew in her history (Zechariah 13:9, 14:8,9, Ezekiel 37:24-28, Isaiah 2:1-4, and Zechariah 14:21C)
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and
in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name
one.
Ezekiel 37:24-28 – And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. [25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [28] And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Isaiah 2:1-4 – The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Zechariah 14:21C – And in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Abbas confident solution will be found by 2009
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
October 22, 2007
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas expressed confidence Monday a solution would be found to the Middle East crisis before the end of 2008. He also stressed the importance of reconciliation with Hamas.
Abbas, who arrived in Indonesia on Sunday, is seeking support from Muslim allies in Asia ahead of a US-hosted conference involving Israel and the Palestinians.
The gathering, to be held in November or December, will seek a joint declaration outlining a way for the two sides to return to the negotiating table after seven years of bloodshed and diplomatic paralysis.
Washington hopes it also will relaunch negotiations to create a Palestinian state.
“Before the end of 2008, we will have found the real solution we have been hoping for,” Abbas told reporters after discussing ways to achieve a peaceful, lasting resolution to the Middle East crisis with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
He also said Hamas, which he expelled from the Palestinian government after the Islamic group violently seized control of the Gaza Strip in June, “is a part of the Palestinian people and cannot be separated. Nobody denies that.”
“However, they have carried out a coup d’etat against the legitimate government that could divide our unity and dissolve the efforts of peace,” Abbas said, acknowledging, however, that “we cannot move unless we work together” with Hamas.
The first stop in Abbas’s Asian tour was Malaysia, and he is scheduled to travel next to Brunei. Indonesia, which does not recognize Israel, is a secular nation with 235 million people, nearly 95 percent of whom are Muslims.
