IS IT POSSIBLE WE ARE ENTERING INTO A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD OF RELATIVE CALM BEFORE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMES UPON ISRAEL – IF SO, HOW LONG WILL IT LAST
?
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.
Jeremiah 30:7-9 – 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.
[8] For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: [9] But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Jeremiah 23:5-8 –Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
[6] In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. [7] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [8] But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Israel seeks direct peace talks with Lebanon
By Ethan Bronner and Robert F. Worth
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
JERUSALEM: Israel offered on Wednesday to start direct peace talks with Lebanon, saying all issues would be negotiable including a tiny piece of Israeli-held land on the countries’ border that Israel has long argued does not belong to Lebanon but
that the Lebanese say is theirs.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Israel over the weekend and made a surprise stop in Lebanon on Monday. On her trips, she spoke to both the Israeli and Lebanese governments about Washington’s desire to find a solution to the land dispute as a catalyst for solving bigger issues in the region, including strengthening the Lebanese government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, a senior Israeli official said, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed to this.

The offer
of talks with Lebanon comes amid intense regional diplomatic activity, including the planned start on Thursday of a six-month truce in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, which the Israeli government confirmed on Wednesday, and the end of a second round of indirect negotiations between Israel and Syria for a comprehensive peace treaty.
Israel is also very close to a prisoner swap with Hezbollah.
Mark Regev, spokesman for Olmert, said the prime minister had spoken of his desire to start talks with Lebanon in an internal Israeli meeting and had decided to make that desire public.
Since Syria has such strong influence in Lebanon, Olmert argued that the talks with Syria should lead logically to discussions with Lebanon, Regev said.
The disputed piece of land that will be under negotiation is known as the Shabaa Farms.
When Israel withdrew from the occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000, the United Nations Security Council stated that the withdrawal was complete despite its holding onto the disputed area because Shabaa, the United Nations said, was part of the Syrian Golan Heights occupied by Israel.
But Lebanon and Hezbollah say the land is Lebanese and Syria has not contradicted them. Moreover, Hezbollah has used Israel’s hold over Shabaa as a pretext for keeping its men under arms despite United Nations resolutions c alling for the disarming of
all Lebanese militias.
Hezbollah says that as long as part of the Lebanese homeland is occupied, it needs its weapons because the national army is weak.
But the West, especially the United States and France, wants to reduce the power of Hezbollah, a client of both Syria and Iran, and has been looking for ways to strengthen the pro-Western government of Lebanon.
