Dear friends:

The below makes me remember New Zealander Pastor Peter Kumar's year 2000 claimed revelation from the Lord about a period of "turmoil" following Arafat's still-future death, during which time he said the rapture will happen.

From israelnationalnews.com, 12-30-06 (emphasis supplied):

"Anarchy in the Palestinian Authority (PA) spread to the Rafiah border crossing, which was closed Friday morning after European Union (EU) observers fled 100 armed PA policemen who formed a blockade.  The gunmen who stormed the compound belong to the unstable ruling Fatah party of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas. One of their members was killed in a clash Thursday between terrorists....

"The incident was one of several on Thursday which pointed to widespread anarchy...."

("Anarchy" sounds like "turmoil" to me.)
