Subdued
Ceremony For Europe's First Constitution
EU leaders gathered for a subdued ceremony to sign Europe's
first Constitution in Rome. The difficult job of getting the text ratified and
the more immediate institutional crisis over the Barroso Commission were clearly
over-shadowing the event.
Arafat
In France; Victims Want Justice
An ailing Yassar Arafat is in a French hospital after having been transported

Triumvirate
Named To Replace Arafat
RAMALLAH [MENL] -- The ruling Fatah movement has established a successor to
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, said to be in critical condition.
Palestinian sources said Fatah leaders have established a triumvirate to succeed the 75-year-old Arafat. They said the three Palestinians include the former and current PA prime ministers and were authorized to take over Arafat's duties immediately.
Warnings
Against Burying Arafat In Jerusalem
MK Uri Ariel of the National Union made the
warning today. His party colleague Benny Elon has asked the Defense
Minister to give advance notice that Arafat will not be buried in
Jerusalem.
National Union MK Uri Ariel warned today,
"Many thousands of right-wing demonstrators will bodily prevent
Arafat from being buried in Jerusalem."
EU-Iran
Nuke Talks Come Up Short
Britain, France, and Germany have been unable to persuade
Iran to cease its nuclear program during talks in Vienna at the headquarters of
the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Bin
Laden: U.S. Can Avoid Another Attack
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Osama bin Laden, publicly injecting himself into the
campaign four days ahead of presidential elections, said in a videotape
aired Friday that the United States can avoid another Sept. 11 attack if
it stops threatening the security of Muslims.
Comments
The European Union signed its first
constitution today in Rome. This was a historical day for the E.U.
but will take some fast talking to get all members to ratify it.
As far as prophecy is concerned look for the European Union to eventually get it ratified. It could be done under a two stage platform where the more advanced countries would come in under the present constitution and the remaining would come in at a later date.
Yasser Arafat has been transported to France to be examined by a team of doctors. It's very possible that he could die in the near future. If that is the case the Palestinians may insist that he be buried in Jerusalem. If that happens look for rioting to take place. If he does recover don't look for Israel to welcome him back.
Could this open the door to peace? Not likely since the Bible states that peace would not come until the antichrist comes on the scene.
Bin Ladin is threatening further future attacks against the U.S. I'd take him serious! I truly believe that terrorism will be the reason behind the war of the first four seals (Revelation 6) of the tribulation period.
Are we living in the last days? Is the Lord about ready to rapture His church? As Noah climbed into the ark and shocked the world I believe we are at a crossroad for which there is no return.
I look the Lord to come at any time.
Do you know the Lord? If not, your window of opportunity is closing very quickly!
