The Rabbi is correct! Their messiah will be AC! Ours will have come for His church! TR Awe - you ask the million dollar question, on timing! Will we see the Ezekiel war, go right before it, or simultaneous? I’m assuming you are referencing Ezekiel 38! The rest we will miss, we should be up, up and away on Yeshua flt. 777! My opinion, is — I‘m good to go right before or simultaneously. This causes an enormous amount of world wide confusion —- at multiple levels. Just an opinion! In steps the man with a plan.... :prayer-hands: How about this scenario ... if this gets approved to blow the shofar on the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanna ... while they are doing this and the world watches ... perhaps the church hears the Trumpet of God and we fly upward?!! :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn - Fair Use - US planning Mideast peace summit next month Summit to take place in one of the Persian Gulf sheikdoms in the next few weeks, Arab diplomat says. US trying to secure the participation of Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, Sudan, and Chad, alongside Israel and the UAE. PM Netanyahu confident "more countries will follow UAE." :popcorn By Daniel Siryoti and ILH Staff The United States is working to convene a Middle East peace summit in the next few weeks, a senior Emirati diplomat told Israel HayomMonday. The Emirati official said that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's five-day visit to the Middle East and Africa, which began in Jerusalem, is part of Washington's effort to lay the groundwork for the peace summit. Sources familiar with the issue said that the summit is to take place in one of the Persian Gulf sheikdoms, adding that the US is trying to secure the participation of Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, Sudan, and Chad, alongside Israel and the UAE. Other states, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan – the latter two already having peace treaties with Israel – have yet to confirm their participation in the summit. The diplomat added that prior to and during Pompeo's visit to Israel, Palestinian officials were invited to the summit. The message was also conveyed to the PA that Pompeo is willing to visit PA President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah to personally invite him to the summit. Abbas and other PA officials dismissed the offer, snubbing the top American diplomat "and even sent the message that Pompeo is not wanted in Ramallah," the UAE official said. "The Palestinian position is very saddening. They were given an opportunity to deescalate the situation with a respectful invitation to take part in a regional peace conference, and they rejected it out of hand with no reasonable explanation," he noted. "The Palestinians have to come to grips with the fact that the wheels of peace have started to turn, and peace and normalization will come with or without the Palestinians even if they continue to be defiant." - Fair Use - What again did they say is the definition of insanity, Mr. Abbas? they rejected it out of hand with no reasonable explanation,” he noted. At some point you'd think the Arab world would tire of these imbeciles and their childish games. Geri 7, you may be on to something. Israel blows the shofar and then God blows His! Cool thought! TR Yep, they just love to say NO. When Arafat represented the pales .... they offered everything but the kitchen sink and yet he said NO. Nothing will ever come close to that sweet deal ever again. Here’s an intriguing article about Arafat. However, the columnist writer in this article made a mockery of that claim but he wasn’t there on his deathbed and anything is possible with God. People we least expect will make heaven. Yasser Arafat became Christian before his death, suggests retired U.S. pastor The Washington Post There are a lot of controversies surrounding the Nov. 11, 2004, death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, but the subject of his religious faith was never one of them. That is, until now. In an interview published this week by a British Christian Web site, R.T. Kendall, a retired American pastor and prominent Christian writer, says his efforts to convert Arafat from Islam to Christianity may have borne fruit. Kendall claims to have struck up a relationship with Arafat in 2002, facilitated by Canon Andrew White, a prominent Anglican cleric in Baghdad and an envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Middle East. Kendall says he met Arafat five times; on the third occasion, the Palestinian leader watched Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ." “Arafat is in tears" by the film's end, Kendall says. On subsequent visits, Kendall apparently forced the issue, believing Arafat was secretly inclined to embrace Christianity but afraid of upsetting his Palestinian supporters. “What I'm asking you to do will take more courage than anything you've ever done: that is to say before cameras that Jesus Christ died for your sins," Kendall supposedly concluded. At this point, according to Kendall's narration, White attempts to change the conversation. Arafat simply blows the American proselytizer a kiss, which somehow reinforces Kendall's conviction that the Palestinian leader has come over to his side. When Arafat died in 2004, Kendall says, he received phone calls from friends who supposedly had visions corroborating Arafat's embrace of Jesus. If this sounds highly dubious to you, that's because it probably is. There are no other accounts of such a conversion. Indeed, the main Arafat conversion story is that of his widow, Suha Arafat, who converted to Islam when she married the Palestinian leader in 1990. - Fair Use - Too funny, Great minds, I just posted this on another string.... :good: :mdrmdr: Trying hard not to say something about irony... What a terrible way to die. Such a waste of the lives that God gave them. 🙁

"It wouldn't surprise me to see him in heaven," Kendall tells Premier Christianity magazine."I prayed with him five times, anointed him with oil, I gave him a [salvation] prayer… I'm not saying I know that he’s saved; I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised."
In one meeting, Kendall describes what he says to Arafat through an interpreter: "I've come today with a proposition: I want you to confess openly, tell the world, that Jesus Christ died for his sins."
Kendall went on: "If you will do that," speaking to Arafat, "first of all you'll be given a peace unlike everything you've had in your life. You'll be given wisdom, which you need. You'll then be able to encourage many Arabs that have had dreams of Jesus."
In recent years, the main intrigue that surrounds Arafat has had to do with the nature of his death in a Paris hospital. Speculation that he may have been poisoned, possibly by the Israelis, led to a series of medical investigations, most of which have concluded that he was not poisoned.
The inquiries required his corpse being exhumed and reburied in a swift six-hour procedure. For Arafat, it was no resurrection.
