Cautious Optimism In Israel
Jewish World Review Mon, 28 Mar 2005 3:11 AM PST
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Cautious optimism pervades the state of Israel, but "cautious" is the operative word. If Mahmoud Abbas is not Yasser Arafat, neither is he George Washington (or even U.S. Grant or Warren Harding).

PAPER: Depressed Annan Close To Quitting Over UN Scandals...
KOFI ANNAN, the United Nations secretary-general, is said to be struggling with depression and considering his future. Colleagues have reported concerns about Annan ahead of an official report this week that will examine his son Kojo’s connection to the controversial Iraqi oil for food scheme.

Depending on the findings of the report, by a team led by the former US Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, Annan may have to choose between the secretary-generalship and loyalty to his son.

Japanese Government-Backed Study Frets About Chinese Military Buildup
2005-03-28 04:41:02 A Japanese government-backed study warned Monday that the military balance in East Asia was becoming "increasingly uncertain" due to a buildup by China, which could modernize further if the EU arms embargo is lifted. 

Comments
Iran continues to press forward with its nuclear program despite opposition from the U.S.  They contend that its need for nuclear power is strictly for peaceful means.  

Of course, they’re lying just as Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and a whole host of other nations are lying.  Many of these nations will eventually obtain nuclear weapons in the next 15 to 20 years if left unchecked.  

Another sleeping giant has brought concern to Japanese officials over their military buildup.  As you may know, China has been steadily building a war machine and is seeking to have an E.U. arms embargo lifted.  It is Japan’s fear that when the embargo is lifted it will modernize an already powerful China and create a military imbalance in the region. 

The Bible is clear that both the kingdom of the antichrist (E.U.) and the kingdom of the East (China) will survive the Apocalypse (Revelation 6).  Israel will also survive.  In my opinion, what will happen leading up to the Apocalypse and what will take place immediately following is somewhat of a mystery.  It will take a miracle for tiny Israel to be among the survivors. 

Many in the U.N. believe that Kofi Annan’s days are number as head of the U.N.  Seems he is depressed over the numerous scandals that have developed on his watch.  Personally, I give him very little time before he throws in the towel.  Next in line…it’s possible it could be former U.S. President Bill Clinton.  With Mr. Clinton as head of the U.N. and his wife a real possibility for president in 2008 wouldn’t that be a real eye opener.  But on the other hand, if he does get selected as head of the U.N. it may also hurt Hilary’s chances of becoming the next president of the United States.   

The Bush Administration is blaming Arab hatred toward the United States on Arab leaders who have allowed such teachings to go on in their schools.  Of course, hatred toward Israel has been handed down from generation to generation both through family and schools.  In the near future I see this ending at least in the public programs as part of the peace agreement.   

Lately, I have been receiving emails about the Pope and his possible successor.  Actually, I’m not that concerned about who his successor will be.  I do however believe that whoever he is may turn out to be the false prophet.  

In these last days, I find it highly coincidental that the Pope may die in the same timeframe that a peace accord with Israel is brewing.  Could the next Pope be the false prophet?  Could this be another piece of the prophetic puzzle or is it just coincidence?
