Sharon Says Gaza Withdrawal The Toughest Decision Ever

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has called his decision to withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank the hardest decision he has ever taken and reaffirmed his mistrust of the Palestinian leadership.

To the world, the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip is a major gamble and potentially life threatening to the people of Israel.   To be perfectly honest, no country in their right mind would bow to such a move.  Certainly, the U.S. would never even consider such a plan if presented to them, but so goes the world of the rich and powerful.  "Don't do as I do but do as I say".  But in the end, Israel will rise from the ashes victoriously!

Israeli leadership is very leery of the motives of the Palestinian government.  Mistrust is still the number one obstacle to peace.  I believe that this mistrust will keep the two sides a part until someone steps forward who is both powerful and considered trustworthy to both sides.  Obviously, the U.S. is not a candidate for the job, but at this time, neither is the E.U. since Israel sees them leaning toward the Palestinians.   

Eventually, I see that changing as they get more involved in the E.U. culture.  As you know, Israel has become a neighborhood partner with the E.U. which stands to take affect in 2007.  It is my belief that Israel will become a natural partner of the E.U. and may even become a full blown member.  Whatever happens, the trust between the E.U. and Israel will increase to the point that they will make an agreement that will bring peace.  

One thing that we must remember is that the antichrist will come on the scene and take the world by storm.  He will be the golden boy of our generation.  Many will adore him as no other and world leaders will long to align themselves with him.  He will be indwelled with the power and charisma of satan himself and no one will be able to resist him.

I have been to many different websites and heard various guesses on who this man will be. From time to time someone will write me about a person of interest they feel maybe the antichrist.  Of course, most of the time, they only want my opinion if it agrees with their belief.  Personally, I don't know who the antichrist is but I do believe that he is alive today.

As I said earlier, when the antichrist comes on the scene no one will be able to resist him...not even you!  Many who are not saved believe that they will coast into the tribulation period and get saved based on the information they acquired before the tribulation period.  I wouldn't count on it, and to be perfectly honest, I don't believe that will even be possible.  For "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie" (II Thessalonians 2:11).  Our mind tells us that we will not forget what we have learned, but the truth is, we will believe a lie.

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not, your time is running out!
