Television Station Under Control Of Abbas Government Repeatedly Broadcasts Clip Promising Eventual Destruction Of The Jewish State
The Pentagon is in the process of selecting an elite American security firm to provide Palestinian forces with advanced training procedures. The training is being provided to help get the Palestinians prepared to provide security for a two state solution.
General Keith Dayton, Washington's security coordinator in the Palestinian Authority, says that even if a Palestinian state was created today they would be incapable of providing security to the area. In fact, he stated that even if Israeli troops were pulled from occupied towns (as they have demanded) they would not be able to manage them.
"Dayton went on to state his belief that additional training and another influx of US arms will give the Palestinian forces what they need to succeed. A leading terror boss in the Samarian town of Ramallah admitted recently that most Palestinian police officers moonlight as militants, and employ their advanced American training and weapons against Israel." http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=178&nid=14388
There is no doubt that the Palestinian state will be a terrorist state. As I brought to you in an earlier article, Abbas' government controlled TV station has been running video clips that have been preaching the soon destruction of Israel.
Of course, many would say this is part of the pressure tactics Abbas is using to force Israel to agree to a peace treaty. He doesn't really intend on destroying or attacking Israel once peace is established. Certainly, Bible prophecy tells us otherwise.
But Palestinian leader Abbas has his own problems. Daily he lives in fear that Hamas could takeover the West Bank and kill him or force him into exile.
"Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas admitted that his government could be overthrown by the Hamas terrorist organization in the near future."
"Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, Abbas said he has received intelligence that points to a planned Hamas coup in Judea and Samaria modeled on the terror group's successful conquest of the Gaza Strip earlier this year."
"Abbas said he is relatively confident the Hamas takeover bid will fail, but he made similar assertions prior to the collapse of his forces in Gaza." http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=178&nid=14418
As I've said many times, when God is ready for peace to be established in Israel He will make it happen. With that said, if Hamas were to overthrow Fatah (Abbas) this would be a huge setback in establishing peace in the Middle East. Although we know peace will someday come, I can't imagine that it could be with Hamas.
Getting back to the peace talks...Palestinian negotiators are saying that there will be no peace summit if a deadline for the establishment of a Palestinian state is not set and core issues met before the summit date.
"The Israeli prime minister has stated that he will not accept a timetable, and we say we will not accept negotiations without a timetable," Qureia said at a news conference with the European Union's external affairs commissioner, Benita Ferrero-Waldner. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071030/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians
It amazes me that the Bible says that the peace agreement that Israel will sign with the antichrist will have a time limit of seven years or two 3 1/2 year stages. If you have looked at some of the various proposed peace documents such as the Geneva Accord, or most recently, the reborn Taba Negotiations, both have a time limit for a complete Israeli turnover of Palestinian areas (West Bank). I fully believe this falls in line with what the Bible has described as the eventual time limit of seven years. Look for the final peace accord to stipulate a seven-year time limit or two 3 1/2 year stages for Israel to leave the West Bank.
Certainly, there are a number of obstacles to overcome if peace is to be established. Beyond the obstacles is a very real possibility that Hamas could overthrow the Fatah government and the West Bank sending the peace summit and any progress that has been made down the drain.
In the coming months it will be interesting to see which way God leads.
Are you ready to meet the Lord? If not, your time is running out!
