this morning (May 7th) I was very surprised when I heard in the news (only a little note) that last night the UN had a resolution….
Immediately I was remembered to bro Bill Anderson’s letter, posted on May 5th, where he wrote:
“…..The Lord has given me several dreams together with dreams of others about numbers that strongly suggest 6 May is important…..
..Finally if 6th May is the day I want to bring to you the close attention of the time 23:10 South African time or 21:10 GMT…”
I did cheque the web and below is what I found: (And remember, On May 6, there also was the meeting Pres. Bush – Jordanian King…)
All Glory to our Father in Heaven through His Son Jesus, Yeshua.
Yes! His is coming again very soon….
We are in a very serious hour …. Lord help us, may we keep on by His Mercy and Grace….
Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!
greetings yr bro fr/germany

UN
approve Palestinian sovereignty
By a margin of 140 to 6, the UN General Assembly adopted a watered-down, non-binding resolution granting the Palestinians self-determination and sovereignty over the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and eastern Jerusalem.
The
resolution, which was cosponsored by 27 Arab, Muslim, and non-aligned nations,
states that the Palestinians "have the right to self-determination and
to sovereignty over their territory, and that Israel, the occupying power,
has only the duties and obligations of an occupying power" under the Geneva
and Hague conventions.

The
vast majority of the UN's 191 member states, including the 25-member European
Union, supported the text; those opposing the resolution included Israel,
the US, Palau,
the Marshall
Islands,
and Micronesia,
and 11 nations abstained from the vote.
The resolution also notes
the General Assembly's "determination to contribute to the achievement
of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and the attainment
of a just and comprehensive negotiated peace settlement in the Middle
East"
resulting in the establishment two states.
The text was revised, and language was toned down Thursday morning in order to secure European support; a statement that Israel "has no sovereignty over any part of this territory," namely the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and eastern Jerusalem, was deleted from the text, and references to a Palestinian state "based on the armistice line of 1949" was removed.
"This resolution doesn't really mean anything; that's why at the end of the day they [European nations] are voting for it," said Israel's ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman.
The resolution was adopted six months after the PLO observer mission to the UN led an effort to symbolically revoke Israeli authority over the territories through the UN credentials committee. The European Union, then led by Italy, blocked the effort.
Addressing the assembly before the vote, Gillerman said that the resolution contradicts statements made Tuesday at UN headquarters by members of the quartet, which called on both Israel and the Palestinian Authority to refrain from taking "unilateral actions that seek to predetermine issues that can only be resolved through negotiation and agreement." "This draft resolution flies in the face of that statement," said deputy US ambassador, James Cunningham.
The resolution, said Gillerman, is "ill-timed, counterproductive, and sends precisely the wrong message. It offers the Palestinian side an incentive to avoid negotiations... After all, why bother with these difficult responsibilities, why fight terrorism when the General Assembly is offering... to circumvent the negotiations," he said.

UN affirms Palestinian land rights
The resolution put the General Assembly on record
as affirming "that the status of the Palestinian territory occupied since
1967, including East Jerusalem, remains one of military occupation".
From
correspondents in the United Nations

OVER
strong Israeli and United States objections, the United Nations General
Assembly today approved a resolution affirming Palestinians' right to sovereignty
over the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
The text was changed during intense negotiations that succeeded in bringing European Union countries on board. The final vote was 140 to 6, with 11 abstentions.
The Palestinians pressed for the resolution following US President George W Bush's assurances to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon last month that Israel could retain some Jewish settlements on the West Bank and limit refugee returns in a final peace deal.
Calling the resolution "inappropriate and ill-timed", US deputy ambassador James Cunningham said it "will detract from and not enhance efforts for peace".
But Palestinian UN observer Nasser Al-Kidwa said the Sharon-Bush letters violated international law and represented "an attempt to confer legitimacy on some of Israel's illegal settlements" and negate the rights of Palestinian refugees.
"The issue is the land and the military occupation of that land for nearly 37 years," he said. "It is about Israel's refusal to end this occupation and refusal to adhere to international law."
Israel's UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman countered that the resolution "presumes to have the assembly, a political body, 'determine' the disputed legal status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the legitimacy of conflicting claims, to the benefit of one party to the conflict, and outside the agreed negotiating process".
"It is time to tell the Palestinians - enough is enough! Stop the killings. Stop the terror. Do what you have to do to clean house, and stop abusing our time and the UN's limited resources that ignore the genuine suffering on both sides and instead promote initiatives of trivial pursuit."
The resolution - which is a reflection of international opinion but not legally binding - affirms in accordance with UN resolutions and principles of international law "that the Palestinian people have the right to self-determination and to sovereignty over their territory".
In the final text, language which had stated that Israel "has no sovereignty over any part of this territory" was dropped. It was replaced with language stating that Israel "has only the duties and obligations of an occupying power".
The resolution also expressed the assembly's "determination to contribute to the achievement of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and the attainment of a just and comprehensive negotiated peace settlement in the Middle East resulting in two viable, sovereign and independent states, Israel and Palestine, based on its pre-1967 borders".

settlement with the Palestinians.
President
Bush said it was "unrealistic" to expect The Diplomats
said the Palestinians want a General Assembly resolution to reaffirm past
Security Council resolutions and their right to all occupied territory

legally binding. The draft resolution Palestinians are circulating says
