"Think about it. The Middle East is key as is also Israel in carefully evaluating the “peace” proposals of the man of sin."

Well since we're Biblically "thinking out loud", what does this say for Bush's Road-map for peace, the whole neocon idea that the road to Baghdad runs to Jerusalem, establishing democracy in the greater Middle East in order to bring peace with Israel, etc.? Biblically speaking, that would be furthering the wrong agenda as we know what this will lead to.

Does that mean that a certain eschatalogical view of Scripture should keep us from working for peace on behalf of Israel? Here's a good litmus test: Any peace that involves Israel sacrificing territory is a pseudo-peace and is probably furthering the agenda of the coming Antichrist.

Nothing should get in the way of at least TRYING our best to reconcile all parties. Peace is a noble objective, yet it must not be at the expense of innocent life. Nor is the "peace at any price" of Neville Chamberlain acceptable. And yet, to "be called peacemakers" is an important principle to try and live by... That's one of the reasons why I think "peace through strength" is a moral imperative for the country. Not to mention having a "credible" deterrence....

I don't see Little Horn taking his stand against the Ancient of Days on Mt Zion yet. The conquering King has not attacked Israel yet with an invading army with intent to destroy Israel.

Worldly politicians of all stripes will always try to look good, so continual "peace efforts" in the M.E. region never really have surprised me. Clinton tried his shot at bringing peace to the region, as have any politician wanting some of the limelight etc.... but it would be something rather startling to see an enraged world military leader with a massive army starting to encircle Israel.

That's what the Bad Guy will do....

Reminds me of an old Word, "peace, peace" and yet there is no peace. Is there Balm in Gilead???

Through Christ, howver, we are more than conquerors. Eternity is forever, and that is a pretty scary thought. We all have Major Choices to make while in this World.

(No, the Bible does not endore "annihilation"..)
