All the postings on the anti-Christ’s head wound made me remember another “wound” prophecy. The same prophecy in Jer.6:14-15 is repeated exactly in Jer.8:11-12, and it says:-----

     “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the LORD.

     I think this repeated prophecy refers to the First Intifada of Dec.1987, and then the Second Intifada of Sept. 2000.

     If memory serves, a short time after the Second Intifada, a NZ. Pastor was fasting and praying, and enquiring of the Lord as to when he might expect the (first) Rapture. He was told that it would occur from one hour to one (or two?) day(s) after the news reported of a Palestinian civil war over the power base left behind by the “removal of Yasser Arafat.”

     From the time of the prophecy until the death of Yasser Arafat, there was much speculation as to what the word “removal” might mean, especially since he was “removed” to various countries at various times.

     Now we know “removal” meant total removal from the world  scene, as in death.

     And we’ve since had minor skirmishes between Hamas and the PA, but no full-scale civil war over what was once Arafat’s headquarters in Ramallah.

     I still see this NZ. prophecy as being valid!

     So, I am also eagerly watching the prickly moves between Hamas(in Gaza) and the PA, with its headquarters in the Mukata’a, in Ramallah.

     Many countries have their diplomatic missions to the PA. in Ramallah, so it is a prize that Iran may persuade Hamas to take by force.

     So, keep watching and keep posting Doves, from Andrew B.
