Washington 'keeps option open' on PA's 'settlement' resolution

State Department spokesman won't say whether the United States will support anti-Israeli resolution, but also rules nothing out.

The United States refused to say on Thursday whether or not it would support a Palestinian Authority (PA) proposal for a United Nations resolution to condemn Israeli "settlement building" -- but ruled nothing out.

"We understand that there is an early draft that the Palestinians have shared informally in New York," State Department spokesman John Kirby said, according to the AFP news agency.

"I'm not going to comment on an informal draft resolution. Nothing has been formally introduced or circulated at the Security Council," he added.

But, using terms that may raise concerns in Israel, Kirby continued, "We are very concerned about trends on the ground and we do have a sense of urgency about the two-state solution.

"We will consider all of our options for advancing our shared objective of lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians," Kirby said.

PA officials have in recent days been circulating a draft resolution that would deem Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria "illegal" and "an obstacle" to a peace deal based on two states living side by side within agreed borders.

It demands that Israel "immediately and completely" cease all "settlement activities."

Before this servant of Satan leaves office (if he does), I believe he will force a Pali state through the UN. The goal of this "state" will be the destruction of Israel.

May God's will prevail.

If he tries that he just may end up leaving the same way FDR did when he colluded with the Saudis to prevent Israel from becoming a nation.

FDR was dead 5 days later and God raised up Truman to be President who also happened to be a Zionist.

I never knew that FDR has conspired with the Arabs to deny the Jews their homeland during the closing days of WWII, but I did know that FDR hated the Jews, and barely lifted a finger to take them in, to protect them, or to tell the world the truth about the Death Camps even though he had the facts.

These days, I feel a heaviness in my heart everytime I read the news. It seems that at every turn, the world is spinning more and more out of control.

These events tell me that we must be very close:

- the entire world aligned against Israel

- the efforts to outlaw cash and bring the world towards a single currency (the SDR?)

- Apostosy as I have never even dreamed possible (the falling away)

- the "days of Noah" all around us as Jesus had warned

- the rise of Russia and Iran as alliance partners

- the sheer evil and wickedness

- the economic uncertainty that may lead to a massive financial crisis unlike any other in human history

- the massive persecution of Christians and Jews

I think under FDR the ocean liner St. Louis was turned away.

Double-check me but I think that’s correct.

It appears he has chosen the path of the antichrist spirit.

He’s too smart - gonna figure it all out the liberal way.

We know how it ends.

Yep , he is the one that this country involved with the Saudis .
(King Ibn Saud - we protect the Saudis in exchange for being able to get their oil )

He is also the one who did nothing to help the passengers of the SS St Louis

Now is the time to sigh and cry for the nation just like in Ezeikiel’s day

Eze_9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Oh here is something that will make you smile .
The mark put on their foreheads was a tav.
In Ezeikiel’s day a tav looked like a cross

[[These events tell me that we must be very close:]]

Yep it is almost time but we still need to be salt and light
so no time to be feeling down , look up :)

Ezekiel 9:4 - very appropriate. I have heard about the Tav, perhaps from John Haller.

I am looking up, and that is my blessed hope. I pray that I will be counted worthy to escape all that is coming, and to stand before the Son of Man.

What is difficult for me is not knowing when the rapture will be. If it is years away, it will be difficult for me to endure the collapse of humanity into madness for that long - but by the Lord's grace and mercy I will.

I pray He comes very soon.
