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.
SAY – LEGO – To lay, lay together, to collect; then, to lay before, relate – It refers to the purport or sentiment of what is said and the connection of the words in the sentence or oration; in reference to the Scripture it denotes the statement of the Scriptures – Bullinger’s Critical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament
There are eight Greek words translated in the New Testament as “SAY.” Over the last 37 years
I have come to believe the “SAY” in I Thessalonians 5:3 does not mean “they” are saying “we have” Peace and safety,” but are saying with great sentiment they greatly desire it as they cry out for it. The cry for peace in Israel has grown to a shrill worldwide volume since 1948. And now, internal uprisings in Egypt and in Jordan are threatening to end their wobbling peace treaties with Israel, such that the cry saying “Peace and safety” has reached its highest historical pitch across an unstable planet.

Quartet to Present Mideast Peace Plan
Barak Ravid
In a last-minute effort to stop the Palestinians from seeking unilateral recognition at the UN in September, the Mideast Quartet is planning to present a new international peace plan based on President Obama’s Mideast speech on May 19, at a summit in Washington on July 11, senior Israeli and European officials said Tuesday.
The Quartet summit will convene following pressure on the U.S. by Germany, France, and Britain to present an international peace plan. U.S. envoys Dennis Ross and David Hale conducted two rounds of talks in recent weeks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in an effort to draw up a formula for a compromise which will be used to invite both sides to engage in direct negotiations in the U.S. (Ha’aretz)

‘IDF has no way of stopping mass non-violent protest in West Bank’
IDF conducts drills in preparation for potential upris
ing in wake of Palestinian bid to seek UN recognition in September.

As September draws nearer, the Israel Defense Forces has been conducting drills in order to contend with the possibility of a mass civilian uprising in the West Bank in the wake of the Palestinian bid to seek unilateral recognition in the United Nations.
“A non-violent protest of 4,000 people or more, even if they only march to a checkpoint or a settlement, and especially if the Palestinian police does not deter them, will be unstoppable,” one IDF officer claims.
“Such a great number of determined people cannot be stopped by tear gas and rubber bullets.”
Another high ranking IDF official serving in the territories claimed that “if we are to face protests
similar to those in Egypt or Tunisia, we will not be able to do a thing.”
On Tuesday, the Central Command completed its General Staff workshop which included all company officers and higher-ranking officials in both regular and reserve service who are set to serve in the West Bank by the end of the year.
The officers attended lectures on dealing effectively with disorderly conduct and viewed presentations on protest-dispersal methods by both IDF and border police.
“At the end of the day, the decision is in the hands of the political echelon,” claims another commander, “it is fairly obvious that if there will be no progress on peace talks, the Palestinian police with whom we work very closely to prevent infiltrations will lose their patience.”
Central Command officials said Tuesday that “the IDF does have ways of dealing with large-scale protests.
First of all, we have intelligence, and obviously these protests take quite a while to organize. With intelligence and the proper preparation, it is possible to gather large forces against the protests in a way that will cause minimal damage.”
