Of course, number one is to be with Jesus :)
But the number two thing I'm really, really looking forward to is being
with my Brothers and Sisters in Jesus.
At the moment I'm feeling more and more isolated, even from Christian
friends. One told me he 'heard' once end times start, it'll be 200 years
before the end. Another said "of course you've got to be ready because He
could come at any time, but......." Arghhh!!!!!!! At this point, I've
said about all I'm going to to them.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!! No more misunderstandings or hype or spin, no
more of the world, just perfect understanding, fellowship and love.
Yours in Christ,
Brad

Over the past months and years, I’ve been trying to understand the French, German, Russian and Chinese middle east policies. Why do they all seem to support the muslim positions unilaterally and give nothing but lip service to trying to help bring about any kind of real peace? The other day I had a revelation –
Israel’s got to go!!
I think the decision was quietly made some years ago that the problem is Israel. Period. And the only way to bring peace and stability was for Israel to go. I think the palatable solution, at least for the EU, UN and many in the US was outlined by Iran’s President A. to Mike Wallace- nobody wants to see the Jews obliterated, just moved (yeah, right!). Maybe to some rock out in the middle of the north atlantic or something. Somewhere, anywhere besides ‘Palestine’. Then the ‘freedom fighters’ from all of Islam would beat their swords into plowshares, etc. etc. and there would be peace at last.
I think this attitude is becoming clearer every day in world events and the showdown is very close. Now if those pesky Christians, especially in the US would just get out of the way in the next few weeks,……………….

Update
After more consideration and as events continue to unfold, I believe something else may be going on. As everyone, including the Israelis, knows, the Jews and Arabs will probably never be able to live peacefully together. At least not anytime soon. Since the Arabs have all the oil, Israel is SOL, but what if the World could offer them an excellent option? Rather than a rock in the North Atlantic, how about a tropical paradise with a guaranteed income for all citizens and anything else they want to get them to vacate the middle east. A large percentage of Jews in Israel are not at all spiritual and, I think, given the choice of ‘paradise’ on earth or terror and bloodshed they would gladly choose the latter. After all, it’s just land. So it’s a different geographic location, they could still keep their ‘identity’. Heck, they could even build a temple or something if, for some weird reason, they wanted to. Why, I’m sure the UN or OPEC could rustle up some cash to git ‘r done!
By blatantly allowing Iran and Syria to arm and re-arm Hamas and Hezbollah, the world and the Olmert government seem to be setting the country up to have a choice of ‘paradise’ or obliteration. You see, the World doesn’t hate the Jews, just the State of Israel as it exists. Jus ask Pres. A. of Iran. Everyone is sick and tired of the violence and mayhem and if the Jews would just relocate, everybody wins!!!!! I’ve got to believe ‘THE DEAL’ is already well into the works and the majority of countries in the world will gladly climb aboard. And then, everything will be great.

P.S. There is one tiny hitch to ‘THE DEAL’ – God’s not going to let it happen! Just as with Jesus, Satan thinks he’s got everything working his way. With Israel gone, God’s promises are broken and the game’s over. This time though, rather than just blindside him, He’s going to crush him. Look up and hang onto your hats.
P.P.S. All of the above is, of course, JMHO :)
