One of the most general yet specific indicators...This movement/emphasis has been true for decades...gets to where it's just another wolf cry...so why is it there...in the Word...In exegesis It is interpreted both as a "proclamation" as if it is the current state...or that it has just been achieved (realized)...result of "desire" as in wanting and hoping for it...such as is the reality of our day now. Except that today the things on the surface are usually decoys while the real intent is underneath in hidden agenda(s).
It has to be important as it is given to us in the Word as an indicator...and that we are "not" in darkness concerning these things...These things (prophecies) should be considered for Israel first, and then the world in general. (see 1 Thes. 5:1-6)
Is it not peculiar that for two decades at least, this drive for peace between the Palestinians and Israel, has been waved in the face of all as the greatest hindrance. As if it were accomplished, then all will be well between Israel and the rest of the Arab (Islamic) world. The entire thing is a ruse (lie) derived from a non-existent nation/people ie. Palestine. For the purpose of dividing and controlling Jerusalem. Now interestingly in the hands of Rome (once again). Or so it is speculated.
So do we look for a new push for "Peace and Safety" or a soon proclamation that it has been achieved? Or both?
There is new hope for this time but nothing too new on the surface. However below the surface I believe the Vatican is deeply involved. Recently the new pope was given a seat (or presence) at a Holy site in Jerusalem (as a gesture). Rabbi Steven Denoon believes there has been an "arrangement" with the Vatican for some time now regarding control of the temple mount. Israeli President Shimon Perez has made some trips to Rome in recent months. Relations with the Vatican have been cozy these last months. The pope has been invited to visit Israel, and that he will be loved and welcomed. Suddenly PM Netanyahu (serving as temp. FM) is pushing for a "believed possible" deal...Much of it having to do with the Temple Mount. But that is being kept out of site for now. Again this is "suspected", but expected to surface in the near future.
Why this turn-a-round with Netanyahu? He's been pretty negative on this issue in his words "they (Palestinians, meaning Abbas) are not a true partner" in peace negotiations. One writer dubbed the Palestinians "professional victims". But now the Arab League is on board and there is new optimism. Also there are indications Abbas (PA president) was told if he wanted to keep his job he would soften his rhetoric.
Soooo...As we are expecting a soon departure (Harpazo) due to obvious world conditions...does this not fit perfectly...!!??
