EU: Unilateral Disengagement
Can't Replace Two-State Solution
The European Union warned Monday that Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon's proposed unilateral Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian territory could
not be a substitute for a two-state political solution.
Meeting in Luxembourg, the foreign ministers of the 25-member bloc also mandated EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana to implement plans which he outlined to them on a possible EU approach to the Middle East.
The foreign ministers stressed that any withdrawal from Gaza could not
replace a two-state solution for the Middle East conflict as foreseen in the
road map for peace drafted by the United States, the United Nations, the EU and
Russia.
FDA
OKs Implantable Chip In Patients
It's official: the Food and Drug Administration Thursday gave permission for
humankind to get a digital upgrade -- receiving implantable electronic tags for
computerized medical information.
Human patients can now join join 1 million pets, many cattle herds, and assorted
wildlife who already carry these implantable chips, but there are questions
about how useful such a system would be or whether the security precautions are
stringent enough.
A comparative handful of people have gotten the chips on an experimental basis,
but the FDA decision paves the way for widespread medical use, according to
Applied Digital Solutions, the company that makes Verichips and received
approval for its device. The Delray Beach, Fla., company uses radio frequency
identification technology similar to external devices like the MTA's E-ZPass and
Mobil's Speedpass.

Comments
The FDA has approved a new implantable chip for use in humans. Of
course, many claim this chip will be the future tracking device the antichrist
will use as his 'mark of the beast'. Whether this turns out to be the case
remains to be seen. I tend to believe it will be an actual mark of some
kind. A visible mark is much easier to see on the spot but it will
probably be coupled with a traceable implant.
I think everyone assumes that we will have the same up to date satellite system or something better in that day. It's very possible that the early wars of the tribulation period could severely damage our present technological infrastructure. Remember, we will have at least three major wars during the tribulation period that could claim as many as one-half of the worlds population.
Many have written and asked where I felt we were in the last days. It's hard to say but I do believe we are living in the last generation that started in 1948 with the rebirth of Israel. Nothing else needs to be fulfilled. Could the Lord come tonight? Absolutely!!
Be sure to look for my next article. It will be entitled "The Destruction Of The Tribulation". In this article I will try to put into perspective the magnitude of the worldwide devastation of this time period.
