Israel engaging in dangerous road dealing with terrorist nations

As Christians, we know that Israel bargaining with terrorists nations such as Iran, Syria, and the like, is a dead-end street but a road that must be traveled.  In an interview on Friday published in The Hindu, Syrian President Bashar Assad said that he believed Israel has come to the conclusion that they must seek peace if they are to have safety.

"The Israelis used to think that with time they are going to be stronger and any opposition to their policies will be weaker, but actually what happened was the opposite," Assad told the Indian newspaper. "Now, the Israelis learned that without peace they cannot live safely and Israel cannot be safe."

"I think this is true especially after the war on Lebanon and because of the result of that war inside the Israeli society; this is the main incentive for the Israelis to move toward peace," he added.  Haaretz

In time, he will realize just the opposite will take place.  Bargaining with terrorist nations has never worked in the past and certainly won't work in the future.

There are presently at least four peace negotiating fronts Israel is addressing...Lebanon, Syria, Hamas and Palestine (Fatah).  They all have their own agendas but have one thing in common...they want a portion of Israeli land that they lost in past wars.  In time, they will receive what they want and Israel will get their peace in exchange for safety.  Yes, they will get peace, temporarily, but in the end, war will settle this long-standing family feud once and for all.

But who will bring this peace!  As I've stated many times, I don't expect US President George Bush to bring it.  His time has passed, and according to many polls around the world, they expect the new leader to take the world in a different direction.  I will say that I believe he is the one whom the Bible writes that will leave the peace accord on the table to be confirmed at a later date ( Daniel 9: 27).

According to many political prognosticators, the future of US politics looks to be swinging in the direction of Senator Barack Obama, but he has an uphill battle if he is to win over conservative voters.  Certainly his stand on abortion is a major roadblock, but lately, rumors that he is a closet Muslim has caused liberals to even take a step back.

This allegation has also put in the minds of many prophecy watchers that he could be the Antichrist.  Of course, if you were to poll the Muslim world (and many Americans) they would tell you that the Antichrist is about ready to leave office.  My point is, it's very likely that we (Christian's) are not going to know who the Antichrist will be on this side of the rapture.  According to Scripture, he will not be revealed until after the great departure (rapture; II Thessalonians 2:3), and there's a good reason for that...Satan won't even know until then (see Question# 53 for further discussion).

Although, Mr. Obama's faint Muslim background is very curious, it does not make him a candidate for the Antichrist.  As we know, Scripture declares that the coming Antichrist will care nothing for religion including the (G)od of his fathers (Daniel 11:37).  It should be pointed out that the word God in this passage is capitalized which leads me to believe that he will be of Jewish (predominant belief) or Christian descent. Whichever the case, he will not be a religious man.  Albeit liberal, he is most certainly a religious man.

So who will be the future Antichrist?  I don't know and certainly neither does anyone else.

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