Two-Part Message – A Speck of Hope for a False Peace!
January 25, 2007

I Thessalonians 5:3 – 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.
Ezekiel 38:8,9 – After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
[9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
There will be a brief period of false peace before the attack of 10 nations against Israel – THAT IS A “DONE DEAL!”
The question that must be addressed is not whether there will be a brief period of false peace before Israel is attacked from the north by an Islamic hoard of nations, but WHEN the mindset of Israel will reach a condition of “Peace and safety,” by thinking they “shall dwell safely all of them.” Countless followers of biblical prophecy have been waiting a long time for the WHEN, and trying to figure out HOW such a thing will happen. All I know to do is to keep watching the tiny specks of hope that keep popping up from time to time, only to wash away with the passage of time. The two part Haaretz article, which follows, is one of the current “specks of hope,” that the false peace could eventually come to fruition from the PA-Israel talks and a slight softening of Iran’s hard strategic positions.

Livni, Abbas to meet at Swiss summit in effort to renew Talks
January 25, 2007
By News Agencies
PART ONE
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Palestinian Authority Chairmam Mahmoud Abbas will meet Thursday on the sidelines of a high-profile international conference in Switzerland to explore ways to resume long-stalled peacemaking, an Abbas aide said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev confirmed the two would meet at the World Economic Forum, but did not specify when.
Yasser Abed Rabbo, who is in Davos with Abbas, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the chairman would meet with Livni in an effort to push forward recent efforts to get negotiations back on track.
On Thursday, Abbas met behind closed doors with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss efforts aimed at reviving the long-stalled peacemaking
efforts.
Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met last month to discuss confidence-building measures that would allow the sides to get back to the negotiating table, abandoned more than six years ago.
The two are going to try
to push that process forward further next month in a three-way summit with United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The date and venue for that session have not yet been set.

At Davos, Iran’s Khatami calls for calm heads in nuclear row
Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami on Thursday called
for calm heads to reduce building tensions between the United States and his country over its nuclear program.
“I hope that they would be good enough in managing the situation. We deeply need patience and understanding and not to get too emotional,” Khatami said at the Davos meeting.
Iran says it needs nuclear power to generate electricity but the West is concerned it is secretly seeking an atom bomb.
Khatami declined to comment on Iran’s decision earlier this week to ban a group of 38 Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors from working in Iran.
Khatami, a cleric who was president from 1997 to 2005, also threw his support behind the U.S. Iraq Study Group proposal, for the Bush administration to involve Iran in regional talks about the future of Iraq.
“Rather than confrontation, it would be better to cooperate and have dialogue with Iran and Syria,” Khatami told reporters after attending a panel discussion on the outlook for Iraq.
