Gaza About to Explode?
Large IDF forces are concentrated just outside northern Gaza, waiting for the order to attack the Kassam rocket infrastructures in Beit Hanoun. The army attributes no importance to PA General Al-Majaida's announcement that Arafat ordered to put a stop to the rocket firings against Jewish communities.

Rome Backs Plan For Quick Constitution
The Italian and German governments have agreed to seek a quick adoption of the European Constitution, with as few changes as possible.

The agreement to limit the number of amendments made by governments when they pour over the document later this year is being seen as an attempt by Rome to place relations between the two countries on a better footing.

London Reveals New Alternative To EU Army Plans
The UK has attacked what it sees as French attempts to create an EU defence force outside Nato by proposing an alternative plan according to The Times.

According to the daily, the UK wants to create an EU military "planning cell" to strengthen Europe's defence capability, but one based in Nato's military headquarters.

They hope the unit’s placement would help to avoid undermining Nato.

In April France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg proposed the creation of an independent European headquarters to command military operations. London strongly opposed the idea.

Comments

Israel is on the verge of re-entering Gaza, which could set off a major terrorist backlash.  The new E.U. constitution has been okayed by Rome and will be ratified quickly.  The E.U. is also going ahead with plans to start their own army that will rival some of the best in the world.  Eventually, it will be the best.  

Don't look for the antichrist to pop up any time soon.  When I say soon, I mean before the elections next year.  Even then, he may not be the first E.U. president.  It maybe year’s before the real antichrist comes forward to make a treaty with Israel, but truthfully, I doubt it.  I really don't see the Lord holding back His hand much longer. 

I do see the day coming when we as Christian's may see and identify who the future antichrist will be.  I am becoming more and more convinced that he will be the leader of the E.U. when we Christians are finally raptured from this earth.  That doesn't mean that I believe we will go through some portion of the tribulation period, but only that if you pay attention you might be able to identify him before the tribulation period begins.  Of course, that's only speculation based on the fact that God says that if we use wisdom we will be able to identify him (Revelation 13:18).  I can assure you the minute I know for certain who he is I will pass it on to you.

But getting back to my statement I made about seeing the antichrist before the rapture occurs.  It is likely that he will be in place as the head of the E.U. before the rapture occurs.  But he won't be made manifest as the antichrist until after he signs a peace treaty with Israel.  That will be the true identifier.  

This is what I see for the future as far as the antichrist is concerned.  One, he will rise up through the E.U. which is considered by most Bible believing scholars to be the New Roman Empire (Daniel 9:24-27).  Two, there will probably be a space of time between the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation period.  It could be days, weeks, months or even years.  Of course, I have no scripture to back up this belief, but consider it commonsense thinking.  Three, it will be during this time that the antichrist will be able to build his kingdom quickly since the Holy Spirit will be taken out of the way (II Thessalonians 2:1-11).  Four, the eyes of the world will be blinded and many will worship him as God (II Thessalonians 2:11-12).  Five, but the Holy Spirit will re-enter the world through the filling of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses.  They will lead many to the Lord during the tribulation period, but many will become martyrs for their faith (Revelation 7:11-17).   Those who don’t take the mark, are a friend to Israel, and survive death, will enter into the millennium as citizens of Christ’s earthly kingdom.

I hope this has shed some light on the future and what God’s plan may entail.
