Israeli Assassinates Hamas Leader In Gaza
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israel assassinated Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi in a missile strike on his car Saturday, part of its declared campaign to wipe out the Islamic militant group's leadership ahead of a planned Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip (news - web sites). Two of Rantisi's bodyguards were also killed.

Points Of Sharon's 'Disengagement Plan'
Main points from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's "disengagement" plan, as published in Israeli newspapers Friday:

Arafat Attacks Sharon's Gaza Plan
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has reacted angrily to President Bush's decision to endorse the Israeli prime minister's plan for the Middle East.

EU Calls For Middle East Quartet To Convene
The EU wants to see the principle international power brokers in the Middle East convene as quickly as possible, following Wednesday’s meeting between the US and Israel.

Speaking today (16 April) before an informal meeting of EU foreign Ministers in Tullamore, Ireland, the current head of the EU Council and Irish Foreign Minister, Brain Cowen, said that the so-called Middle East Quartet should meet "as soon as is practicable and possible".

Breakaway Regions To Lose EU membership, Says Prodi
Regions breaking away from their countries and becoming independent states would automatically lose membership of the EU, European Commission President Romano Prodi has said.

Mr Prodi issued a written statement in response to a question from Welsh Socialist MEP Eluned Morgan and has stirred debate in parts of the European Union that hope for regional independence inside the EU.

Comments
I was wondering when the upheaval would begin over the disengagement plan.  Not long after President Bush's endorsement, the whole Arab world was throwing a political fit.  Don't expect this plan to go very far. 

The E.U has called for an emergency meeting over the plan. Actually, I've been waiting for them to play a bigger, more aggressive role in the Middle East talks.  It would be nice if they unveiled a plan of their own.  That would be a big step forward in the world of prophecy.

Take a look at the above news article on the disengagement plan.  It outlines the main points.  

If you're looking for signs of a peace plan on this side of the rapture, I wouldn't hold my breath.  I still believe that much of the unfolding will not take place until after the restrainer is removed (II Thessalonians 2:7).  Who or what is this restrainer?  I believe it is the Holy Spirit that resides in every believer.  When Christians are raptured, the Holy Spirit will go with them and won't return until the beginning of the tribulation period.  At this time, He will refill the 144,000 witnesses to do the work of evangelism.  During the time span between the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation period, satan will be free to do his bidding and set up his kingdom.  Of course, even during this time, God will be in complete control.

It's funny that satan actually believes that he can put one over on an all powerful God who knows what will happen past, present and future all at the same time.  A God that promised eternal life through Christ before the world began (Titus 1:2). 

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not, you need to read my new article entitled "Hell, The Judgment, And The Lake Of Fire".  The tribulation period will be horrible, but it will be nothing compared to this place.
