Tony Blair Secretly Seeking Counsel On EU Presidential Run
Quartet Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair, is showing signs that he is mounting a campaign strategy to become the first permanent European Union president. Elections could take place in early 2009. Officials are saying that he is interested if the position will hold real power both economically and militarily.
"Some Blair allies also say that he now recognises that as envoy in the Middle East he is not going to be allowed to become the key player in furthering Israeli-Palestinian talks this year, and will be reduced to a role of supporting political development in Palestine and boosting its economy."

That will likely be the case, but when President Bush leaves office, I see Mr. Blair taking a lead role in Middle East peace negotiations. There are a number of directions the present peace negotiations could take.
If you remember, a couple months ago I outlined two possible theories that could set the stage for the peace accord between Israel and the antichrist. Ultimately, the the Bible says the peace accord with Israel will be with the antichrist ( Daniel 9:27). Listed below are a few scenarios and directions this agreement could take:
Certainly, this could lead the way to the seven-year agreement the Bible has prophesied for thousands of years (Daniel 9:27). But it could also be the pre-agreement that brings down the Russian-Islamic alliance prophesied in Ezekiel 38:1-23 & 39:1-12. If you remember, Ezekiel writes, just before the attack, Israel would be living under peace and safety (Ezekiel 38:8-14) in their own land. So far, that day (peace & safety) has not come to Israel, but if all goes as planned, following the summit, that day may arrive.
Theory #1: Even though this agreement may have a seven-year timeline attached to it, it will be cut short by the invading armies of the North. And as Iranian President Ahmadinejad unknowingly prophesied they will come upon Israel as a great storm (Ezekiel 38: 9), but will be miraculously defeated by God Almighty.
Following this great war and defeat, a leader out of the European Union will come on the scene and bring peace to the Middle East confirming the peace plan the Israelis and the Arab nations started (Daniel 9:27). Included in this agreement will likely be a guarantee of Israel's security and may even allow for them to become full members of the EU. But halfway through the seven-year plan he (antichrist) to will betray Israel.
Theory #2: Israel and the Palestinian Authority go to the November peace summit, and either on that day or sometime in the near future, agree to a Middle East peace plan. A leader out of the European Union will be given credit for making peace a reality.
The plan will call for Israel and the Palestinian Authority to accomplish all written articles within the seven-year timeframe of the agreement.
Within one year, Russia and host of Islamic nations will break the peace and attack Israel. But as the Bible predicted over 2000 years ago ( Ezekiel 38 & 39) these invading armies will be soundly and miraculously defeated.
Following this great defeat, the antichrist will restore calm to the Middle East and reassure Israel of his future protection. World peace will prevail for another 2-3 years, but at the halfway point of the peace agreement, the antichrist will betray Israel and declare himself to be God.
Both Theories Sound Identical
You may say, both theories seem to sound the same. They do seem to
be the same but with these differences. In theory #1 the original
agreement will be signed without the involvement of the antichrist. He
will not get involved until after the Russian-Islamic alliance attacks Israel.
But following the war, he will restore calm to the Middle East and guarantee
Israel's safety from that point on. He will confirm the peace treaty that
the Islamic nations made with Israel and from that time on will begin the
seven-year tribulation period.
In theory #2 the antichrist is involved throughout the Middle East peace process and will be given credit for making it a reality. But, shortly into the agreement, the Russian-Islamic alliance will attack Israel. Following the defeat of Russian-Islamic alliance the antichrist will restore calm but no new agreement will be made. He will, however, take measures that will assure the world that the Middle East peace agreement is still in tact and unaffected. Miraculously, Middle East peace will go forward for another 2-3 years until the antichrist breaks it himself.

Look for this to further drive a wedge between the West and Russia driving them further into the arms of their Islamic alliance.
