Netanyahu says close to deal with U.S. on West Bank settlement freeze

Israeli official: Premier planning to bring U.S. proposal for cabinet vote within 24 hours; report: Draft does not include complete moratorium in East Jerusalem.Even though there has been a great deal of speculation for a number of years relative to the correct identity of the Antichrist by his confirmation of a seven year peace treaty between the Arabs and Israel, the news coming out of the Middle East at the moment seem to be one of the most promising moves that I have seen in the course of my lifetime toward that significant development?

For a number of years it has been my firm belief that the newly appointed EU president, would be the Biblical Antichrist and it would be him that we were going to see confirm the treaty mentioned above?

The facts of the matter are that ever since the appointment of Van Rompuy to the aforementioned position, just twelve months ago, there have been quite dramatic changes to the political landscape in the Middle East relative towards a permanent position of peace in the region.

That would seem to indicate that we are moving very rapidly towards the objectives stated above, and that it is going to be Van Rompuy that is going to rubber stamp the treaty mentioned above, thereby making him the one that I have made mention of above - that is the Antichrist.

Nonetheless, as far as that is concerned there is more than likely around about another 12 months before we are ever to see that happening, which is still not a great deal of time? This reality is not just conjecture but seems to be coming more and more of the facts of the matter as each day goes by.

There are a couple of quite significant developments that have led me to this belief.

Firstly, the first ever full time president of the EU, Herman Van Rompuy has been meeting quite frequently with the Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and he has said that NATO will not only play an integral role in enforcing a Middle East peace deal, but will not play a direct role in reaching that agreement and that a Middle East peace agreement is reached, and that an international military force will be needed to monitor and implement it. That fact would indicate there seems to be a Middle East peace treaty that is nigh on close at hand?

Secondly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he was close to reaching an understanding with the United States regarding a package of incentives Washington will offer in exchange for a 90-day construction freeze in the West Bank.

Netanyahu's office issued a statement late Wednesday saying he hopes to conclude contacts with the U.S. soon in order to bring present the deal to his 15-member Security Cabinet - a group of senior government ministers split between pragmatists and hard-liners.

"The prime minister will, with great determination, bring it before the Cabinet for a positive decision," his bureau said in the statement. Officials close to Netanyahu said he would convene his cabinet within 24 hours to approve the deal.

Even though there are no doubts whatsoever that in their decision to offer this incentive package to the Israelis the US is effectively laying a bribe right at the doorstep of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet, that offer looks like it is just about ready to be accepted?

Therefore, by doing so it has laid the groundwork for a more permanent type of peace deal to be reached that has the potential to be the one mentioned above to be confirmed by the Antichrist.

The cabinet has continued to delay a vote on the deal, demanding clarification of the U.S. position on East Jerusalem and whether U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will demand another freeze as soon as the 90 days are over.

But that still seems to be the circumstance of the matter and that as a result of this bribe the U.S. will expect a lot more bang for their buck than a basic 90 freeze on the construction of Jewish settlements that of course leading up to the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27

AND HE SHALL CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK: AND IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK HE SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, AND FOR THE OVERSPREADING OF ABOMINATIONS HE SHALL MAKE IT DESOLATE, EVEN UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION, AND THAT DETERMINED SHALL BE POURED UPON THE DESOLATE.

The time of the beast is very close and right at hand, and is a lot closer than I have ever seen over the number of years that I have been a student of Bible prophecy.

Even though I am quite hesitant to say it, after the treaty has been signed we are going to see the outbreak of a Third World War, beginning in the Middle East, that is going to make the first and second world wars look like Sunday School picnics.

I make that statement particularly in the light of the NATO Secretary General being involved with peace negotiations in the region.
