Comments
Apparently, Hamas and Fatah are getting closer to agreeing in public that they will not destroy Israel.  "A Hamas leader in an Israeli prison said agreement could be reached in the coming days.

A possible face-saving formula could be a vague reference to "just Arab solutions," which could be interpreted as a nod toward an Arab League plan that offered Israel peace in exchange for a full withdrawal from the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, and resolution of the issue of Palestinian refugees.

It was unclear whether such a formula would satisfy the U.S. and Europe, which demand a clear commitment from the Hamas-led government to renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept peace accords signed by Palestinians before Hamas took over the government."  http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/nationworld/article_1185617.php

I don't see Israel, the U.S. or Europe agreeing to any plan with the Arab League that does not demand all terrorist groups to accept the existence of Israel.  At least not until the antichrist comes on the scene.  Until that day, look for the world to run around in circles over this issue.

When do I see the revealing of the antichrist?  Not until after the rapture takes place (II Thessalonians 2:2-11).  I realize that some of you are dead set on who you believe the antichrist will be but according to scripture he won't be revealed until after Christian's are gone.  

Certainly many things could happen to your choice in the coming years...1) they could die 2) they could fall ill unable to rule 3)  they could retire 4) be the victim of a coup or be voted out or 5) they could become a Christian and go in the rapture.  I would hope that no one would eliminate any human being from the possibility of getting saved.

But to answer the question, I don't see the antichrist coming until after the E.U. straightens out their constitution and elects a president.  The antichrist will more than likely be one of their first presidents.  I don't see that happening for a few years, but it certainly does not rule out the fact that the rapture could happen today.  Of course, once the rapture takes place that timeline could change in a second with the E.U. constitution being ratified and a president elected.

The U.S. claims that they have proof through satellite surveillance that North Korea is on the verge of testing a long range missile that has the potential of reaching the U.S.  

This will be the first missile test North Korea has performed since 1998.  Weapons experts say that if the missile is not fired within 48 hours the fuel will begin to break down and damage the missile.

I do look for North Korea to fire this missile very shortly.  In the tribulation period, they will play a major part in the next world war.
