Peace Has Never Been Up to Israel,
It’s Always Been Up to the Arabs,
Which Is the Reason We Know,
True Peace Will Not Be Seen,
Until Jesus’ Return is Seen,
Known as a 2nd Advent!
His 1st & 2nd Advents,
Micah 5:2-4 Reveals,
In GREAT CLARITY!

Micah 5:2-4 – But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be l itt
le among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. [3] Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children
of Israel. [4] And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. (For A Full Exposition See Archive Prophecy Updates 62 to 69 on our Web Site)

Peace Has Never Been Up to Israel; It’s Always Been Up to the Arabs
Daniel Gordis (Jerusalem Post)
May 28, 2009
Many people believe that to achieve peace in the Middle East, Israel just needs to be subdued.
Break Israel’s intransigence, and we’ll finally see progress.
To these people, and to President Obama, I’d like to propose the following thought experiment: Imagine that Israel decides to take down the security fence, remove the checkpoints, open all the roads and Gaza’s sea and air routes.
It agrees publicly to return to the pre-1967 borders and accede to demands that parts of Jerusalem be put under Palestinian control. Does this end the conflic
t? Of course it doesn’t.
The noose would tighten. The rockets would be fired from a shorter distance and the demand for the return of refugees would persist. As was the case when Israel left Lebanon in May 2000 or Gaza in the summer of 2005, Israel’s enemies would smell a weakened, bloodied state and would prepare for the next stage of their war.
But peace would not have come.
Now try the oppo site
side of the thought experiment. Imagine that the Palestinians decide that they have tired of the conflict and insist on a settlement. They recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, agree to an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities and violence, and insist that any other outstanding issues be negotiated and resolved. Would an Israeli plebiscite overwhelmingly approve the offer? Without question.
This, of course, is not going to happen because there’s always been one party that’s sought peace, and another that’ s rejected it.
It’s never been up to us, and it’s always been up to them.
