Shuffling for Position in “False Peace” Period is now Evident!
WHAT I HAVE WAITED TO SEE FOR 40 YEARS HAS ARRIVED!

In March of 2001, in Archive Prophecy Update 12, I stated my belief as to what I believed had to happen before a period of false peace would arrive on the scene in the Middle East.
The arrival of this time of false peace had to occur in advance of an eventual attack by Islamic forces against Israel. It has arrived, but could well end anytime from 2010 onwards. But, for the first time since 1967, I am convinced the period of false peace has come on the scene, and will continue until a sudden jihad is launched against Israel from the north.
Even though Iran, in 2003, stopped producing those parts essential to the final assembling of the bomb itself, and the encasement and covering for placement in a warhead for their Shihab missile series, it is certain she is going full speed ahead with uranium enrichment, planning to have 50,000 enrichment centrifuges swinging by 2012.
I was six years old at Christmas in 1938 when two German scientists first discovered the uranium molecule could be scattered by proton bombardment. I was 28 years old when France built a 24 megawatt atomic reactor for Israel at Dimona in the Negev, in return for help in the Suez Conflict, with the promise by Israel they would not use it to produce a nuclear bomb. The footprints of the French were still in the Negev soil when Israel began to jack it up to 150 megawatts to eventually produce their first atomic bomb when I hit 32. Now, at age 75, I am watching Iran producing enriched uranium, which will eventually be used in a 1000 plus megawatt reactor to build their first nuclear weapon.

PROPHECY UPDATE 12
March, 2001
The Apostle Paul had a deep spiritual burden for his own people, the nation of Israel. His born again heart longed for them to forsake their unbelief by turning to Jesus as their Messiah. He expresses this desire in Romans 10:1 as he states: “Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.” There is no question that Paul saw Israel as being in unbelief. But he knew that some future day they would believe, and consequently be grafted back into God’s olive tree, from which they had been broken off because of their unbelief. He stated this principle in Romans 11:20, as he wrote: “Well, because of unbelief they were broken off.” But he goes on in verse 23 to indicate they will one day believe, and thereby restored to being part of God’s olive tree. He writes, “And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.” I said all this to explain the words “they” and “them” in I Thessalonians 5:3, where Paul states: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh on them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” Paul, in his use of “they” and “them,” is referring to the nation of Israel in unbelief. However, it would also in part apply to all unbelievers in the last days. So why have I given this discourse? The word translated as “safety” is “asphaleia,” which means “the security one experiences when standing on something that is firmly fixed. It gives the one standing on it a sense of “not falling.” The last four leaders of Israel have worn out the following expression: “We must have a peace with security.” We have heard it used hundreds of times on the media, and
it has been printed over and over again in countless articles. Why is this important? God indicates a time will come when Israel actually believes she has “a peace with security.” Why is it so important that we understand this prediction? Because we can know that the final war, involving Israel’s Islamic neighbors, will not occur until it is fulfilled! Israel must be lulled into a false sense of security before any united Islamic attack against her can be successful. Until this happens, and it will, I merely wait for it to come
to pass. Then, when peace and security for Israel does appear to arrive in the Middle East, you can know that the final war of this age is about to occur.
Don’t believe all these terrorist attacks will suddenly cause the final war of this age to begin. It is only when they cease that you can know the last war, which finally produces Armageddon some 3 and ½ years after it begins, is imminent.

The three articles, which follow the seven Scriptures, are from the Herald Tribune, Haaretz, and the Jerusalem Post.
The articles give positive signs that the time of “false peace” in Israel, which was to precede a time of “sudden destruction”, followed by God’s deliverance some three and one half years later at Armageddon, is now coming on the scene.
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.
Daniel 7:25 – And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Zechariah 12:9 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
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.

Iranian President: US Report Positive
December 11, 2007
By Ali Dareini
Associated Press Writer
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday called a U.S. intelligence report concluding Iran stopped developing its nuclear weapons program four years ago a “step forward” in comments that marked a change from his usually harsh anti-Western rhetoric.
The hard-line leader told reporters that an “entirely different” situation between the two countries could be created if more steps like the intelligence report followed.
We consider this measure by the U.S. government a positive step. It is a step forward,” Ahmadinejad said.
“If one or two other steps are taken, the issues we have in front of us will be entirely different and will lose their complexity, and the way will be open for the resolution of basic issues in the region and in dealings between the two sides,” he said.
Iran has said its nuclear program is peaceful, but until last week, the United States and Western allies had countered that Iran was hiding plans for a bomb.
The latest U.S. intelligence assessment on Iran, however, says Tehran once had a weapons program but shelved it in 2003. The U.S. National Intelligence Estimate was in stark contrast to a 2005 estimate that said Tehran was continuing its weapons development.
When asked about what other steps Washington needs to take, Ahmadinejad suggested that one would be for the U.S. to “make a serious change in position in the region.”
“Regional nations have rights and want to fully use their rights. Respecting these rights is a serious change in strategy. This is the next step. If it is done, then you will see that … it is not that a 60-year issue can’t be resolved,” he said referring to an Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He repeated a previous invitation to President Bush for a public debate and said Iran was studying requests from U.S. officials to come to Iran. He did not elaborate.
“Many requests reach us from American officials for dialogue and travel to Iran. We are investigating,” Ahmadinejad said.
But he also made clear that any more economic sanctions against Iran would have “no legal leg” to stand on.
On Tuesday, diplomats from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany are to discuss a draft plan for new United Nations sanctions against Iran. If passed by the Security Council, the plan would slap a third round of sanctions on Iran for defying international demands that it halt its enrichment of uranium.
“The agency report and the NIE are before the eyes of the international public opinion. There is no reason for the continuation of enmities and hostilities.
The threats failed, they were not effective,” he said.

Jordanian king urges pan-Arab stance on Israeli ‘occupation’
By News Agencies
December 9, 2007
Jordan’s King Abdullah urged a Pan-Arab stance to end Israel’s occupation of Arab lands.
Abdullah held talks Sunday with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem on the latter’s RARE VISIT to Amman.
The pair discussed the OUTCOME of last month’s ANNAPOLIS MIDDLE EAST PEACE CONFERENCE.
Moallem’s visit came in the wake of last month’s SURPRISE VISIT by King Abdullah to Damascus that seemed to have OPENED A NEW CHAPTER in bilateral coordination on the Arab-Israeli PEACE PROCESS.
His meeting with King Abdullah came 48 hours before the monarch was DUE TO VISIT Turkey, France and Strasbourg on Tuesday and Wednesday to muster support for the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians that were launched at Annapolis on core issues: Jerusalem, settlements, frontiers and refugees.
Moallem’s one-day visit signals improved relations between the two Arab neighbors.
He met behind CLOSED DOORS with Jordanian Prime Minister Nader al-Dahabi and was also scheduled to meet separately with his Jordanian counterpart, Salaheddine al-Bashir.
Little details emerged from Moallem’s talks, which follow a November 18 surprise visit by Abdullah to Damascus, where he met with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
At the time, Jordanian government officials said Abdullah urged Assad to send a representative to the U.S.-sponsored international peace conference, which was held in Annapolis, Maryland on November 27.
Moallem declined to say why he was in Jordan. He only gave a vague arrival statement to reporters, saying that Jordan and Syria are “two brotherly neighbors, our people have unique ties and these visits persist because they enrich bilateral relations and tackle existing regional issues.”
Relations between Jordan and Syria have been frosty for years, particularly in the last few months over a host of political issues. Tensions rose last year in the wake of the summer 2006 war between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, when Assad called some Arab leaders half men for not supporting Hezbollah during the war.
The last time Abdullah visited Syria was in February 2004, while Assad last visited his southern neighbor a year later.
Under a deal Abdullah concluded with Assad last month, Syria released 18 Jordanian prisoners and sent them home.
Later this month, top Jordanian and Syrian officials are expected to convene a meeting of a committee, which oversees cooperation between the two countries – in yet another sign of improved ties. The exact date of the meeting of the Syrian-Jordanian Higher Committee has not yet been fixed. But it is expected that several trade and water agreements would be concluded then.

Analyze This: Attack Iran? Tell it to the Marines
Calev Ben-David, THE JERUSALEM POST
December 10, 2007
Last week, in a Time magazine article titled “Why the Pentagon is happy about the NIE,” Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was among the US military heads cited as being relieved that the release of the National Intelligence Estimate declaring that Teheran is not now developing nuclear weapons had seemingly taken the military option off the table.
The reason is simple: With close to 190,000 American troops now in Iraq and Afghanistan, US military manpower is being stretched to the limit. A third front in Iran – or even a deterioration of the current situation in Iraq or Afghanistan, a mischief that Teheran is well capable of – would probably stretch those limits beyond the breaking point.
Perhaps not coincidentally, Mullen chose this time to make a quick visit to Israel, a relatively rare occurrence by an acting head of US military. To reassure us that whatever his specific position on the Iranian nuclear threat, the admiral has our best interests at heart. His handlers cited to local reporters remarks he made two weeks ago at the Army War College in Pennsylvania: “I’ve been to Israel more than once, and I understand to some degree… physically where you live and certainly the concerns that exist from the Israeli perspective about your neighborhood.
“So I think how Israel thinks and views the world is a very important consideration for us in the United States. And certainly from my perspective as military leader in the United States of America.”
Nice words, and perhaps an encouraging sign for the various Israeli officials he met with who wish to convince him that Iran is indeed trying to develop a nuclear capability that will enable it to fulfill Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’ s dream of
seeing Israel wiped off the map.
