That is a thought which others have had, that we are in the 7 year trib
already.  (Some say we have been in it for centuries, those who don't
go on a literal 7 years.)  So I am not at all shocked by you're saying
that possibly the tribulation started in 2005 and we are nearing the
mid-point when the wrath will begin.  And then Armageddon and the
return of the Lord would come in 2012, the year which so many pagans
point as the "end" of life as we know it.

And it would be just like the Lord to give warnings to pagans such as
the Mayans and Hopi.  We know he sent Jonah to Ninevah to warn them,
and the warning changed them, at least for a century.  And they were
pagans.  Possibly for that brief period they were the "righteous
gentiles", the name given to Schindler and others by the Jews.
(Schindler is buried on the Mt. of Olives, what an incredible story was
his).  Perhaps Nebuchadnezzar became a "righteous gentile" under
Daniel.   Some such as Missler think Nebuchadnezzar turned to the Lord
and was saved.

We certainly have been having a "false peace" effort in Israel, even if
peace has not been real....yes, that's obvious, if it's false, it isn't
real.

Brother, I hope you can get some sleep!  Once in a while the Lord lets
me have a night off and I do sleep.  May he give you refreshment too!
May we meet soon in the Air!  And have a blissful nap on that cloud!
