THE LATEST MAD HATTER MADNESS,
HUGGING A MAD DOG FOR FUTURE SADNESS,
BUT HIS ACTIONS WILL SOON UNLEASE A THREAT,
LIKE KING HEZEKIAH’S OFFSPRING LIVED TO REGRET!

The current exploits of the latest American Benedict Arnold playing the role of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, plans even further visits to the terrorist table in the Middle East. I have no doubt that Jimmy Carter thinks he is doing the right thing, but so did the Jewish King Hezekiah when he gave the Babylonians the open incentive to later conquer the city of Jerusalem, which is precisely what the Hamas and all the rest of the Jihad groups of radicals and nations are planning to do.
Hezekiah, great King that he was, unwittingly sold out his people for a time of “peace and truth” in his lifetime by befriending the very ones who would conquer Jerusalem and all of Judah. Jimmy Carter is now unwittingly adding to a process that is going to do the same thing all over again.
Jerusalem will be conquered and all of Judea. Israel will be driven out of the land from Dan to Beersheba into the vast wilderness of the Negev, where she will remain for three and one-half years. Please forgive me for being so hard on Jimmy and Hezekiah, because nothing could stop God’s future punishment of Israel in the days of the carrying away by the Babylonians of the Israelis into captivity, and nothing will stop the driving of Israel into the Negev Wilderness.
Both Hezekiah and Jimmy meant well, but they represent players in a process of God’s dealings with both Jew and Gentile for unbelief in two eras of time.
ISRAEL’S PUNISHMENT FOR UNBELIEF AFTER HEZEKIAH
Isaiah 39:1-8 – At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he
had been sick, and was recovered. [2] And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. [3] Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men
? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. [4] Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
[5] Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts: [6] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. [7] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. [8] Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, FOR THERE SHALL BE PEACE AND TRUTH IN MY DAYS.
ISRAEL’S PUNISHMENT FOR UNBELIEF AFTER JIMMY
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.
Romans 11:20-28 – Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. [23] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [24] For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree
which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? [25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching THE ELECTION, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
A remnant of Jews will be saved during the period of time after the sounding of the seventh trump to Christ’s Second Advent. They have been ELECTED by God to go into the Millennial Reign in BODIES OF FLESH. They were not saved before the rapture, which occurs on the sounding of the seventh trumpet in Revelation 11:15. They will be the Jews that begin the Millennial in THE FLESH when their Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ returns with the saved in glorified bodies at his SECOND ADVENT.
The ELECT of Romans 11:28 and Matthew 24:22 are the same group.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH be saved: but for THE ELECT’S SAKE those days shall be shortened.
Romans 11:32 – For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
II Corinthians 3:14-16 – But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
[15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
This Elect Remnant will survive the vials of God’s wrath by His Grace in the Tribulation Period IN THE FLESH after the sounding of the seventh trumpet in I Corinthians 15:51,52, Revelation 10:7 and 11:15.
Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Carter embraces Islamic Hamas official
Associated Press
16 April 2008
JERUSALEM – Defying U.S. and Israeli policy shunning Hamas as a terror group, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter warmly embraced a leader of the Islamic militants during a visit to the West Bank.
Israel on Tuesday accused Carter, the broker of the first Arab-Israeli peace accord three decades ago, of dignifying” extremists. But the ex-president vowed to meet Hamas’ supreme leader later this week in Syria.
On Wednesday, Carter has a meeting scheduled with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists.
Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is on a private peace mission to the Middle East. His itinerary also includes stops in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Syria where the virulently anti-Israel Hamas movement is headquartered.
He then returns to Israel next Monday.
Carter has been shunned by Israel this week, and the White House has criticized him for his willingness to meet with Hamas leaders. Carter says the U.S. and Israel should stop isolating the militant Islamic group, whose control of the Gaza Strip threatens to undermine Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.
Since Syria and Hamas will have to be involved in a final peace agreement, they have to be involved in discussions that lead to final peace,” Carter said in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Also Tuesday, Carter laid a wreath at Yasser Arafat’s grave at the government compound in Ramallah, breaking with U.S. policy. President George W. Bush cut off contacts with Arafat before he died in 2004, blaming the longtime Palestinian leader for the breakdown of peace talks and subsequent wave of violence. Bush did not visit Arafat’s grave when he visited Ramallah this year.
During the ceremony, a two-man honor guard escorted Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. Carter placed the wreath on the grave then solemnly nodded before turning away. Later, a Palestinian host told Carter that Arafat’s resting place was temporary, and the Palestinians hope to move his remains to Jerusalem one day.
Later, Carter attended a reception organized by his office for Palestinian dignitaries in Ramallah. At the gathering, Carter embraced Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, meeting participants said.
We hugged each other, and it was a warm reception,” Shaer said. Carter asked what he can do to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel … and I told him the possibility for peace is high.”
Shaer, who served as deputy prime minister and education minister in the Hamas-led Palestinian government that unraveled last year, is considered a leading member of the Islamic militant group’s pragmatic wing. After a stint in an Israeli prison last year, he is now a professor at a West Bank university, teaching comparative religion.
Palestinians say Shaer, an academic, was not involved in Hamas attacks against Israel, and Israel has never charged him with violent activity.
Carter’s office refused to comment on the closed meeting. However, embraces between men are a common custom in Arab culture.
Israel has said Carter’s talks with Hamas will only embolden Palestinian extremists and hurt the moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, as he tries to make peace with the Jewish state. Abbas is in a bitter rivalry with Hamas, which routed his forces in the Gaza Strip last year and seized control of the area.
Hamas, which is committed to Israel’s destruction and has killed more than 250 Israelis in suicide bombings, is considered a terrorist group by Israel and the U.S. Carter is scheduled to meet Khaled Mashaal, the group’s exiled leader, in Damascus, Syria, on Friday.
The official Hamas position until this day is that it won’t negotiate with Israel or recognize it under any circumstance,” Israeli Foreign Ministry official Yigal Palmor said. Jimmy Carter has dignified this position with his presence, and one cannot but wonder how this attitude is supposed to promote peace and understanding.”
Carter’s comparisons of Israeli policies in the West Bank such as separate roads for Jews and Arabs to apartheid in South Africa also have angered Israeli leaders.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is not meeting with Carter this week, and the only Israeli leader to host him, the ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, criticized Carter for the planned Mashaal meeting.
U.S. officials have also said they disagree with Carter’s decision to talk to Hamas. There was no immediate U.S. comment Tuesday on his embrace of Shaer or visit to Arafat’s grave.
The Israeli daily Haaretz on Tuesday criticized Israel’s attitude toward Carter, who brokered the country’s historic peace agreement with Egypt in 1979. Carter went on to win the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his years of trying to resolve international conflicts.
The boycott will not be remembered as a glorious moment in this government’s history,” the newspaper said. Jimmy Carter has dedicated his life to humanitarian missions, to peace, to promoting democratic elections and to better understanding between enemies throughout the world.”
Carter has acknowledged his trip is not an official mission.
But he says isolating Hamas is counterproductive, and he has offered to serve as a conduit between the militant group and the U.S. and Israeli governments.
