Luke
21: [25] And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28]
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Negev Wilderness
In Prophecy Update Number 7 we ended it by stating: "But if 1.6
to 2 million Jews are to survive in the Negev, they must have enough
water and food to sustain them for 3 and ½ prophetic years. Has God
already been instrumental in assuring they will have it? More on this
in Prophecy Update Number 8." The answer is certainly a resounding YES,
and in this update we will deal with the question of sufficient water.
I first became aware of what God has done under the Negev wilderness in
the late seventies. I already knew there were many shallow pockets of
water that supplied the springs of the Negev, and that these pockets
were reinforced by short bursts of desert thunderstorms from time to
time. And I also knew this hydrological cycle could not possibly
sustain a population of as many as 2 million future occupants. But God
has already taken care of this problem in the distant past. In ancient
times, when rainfall was abundant in the Negev and Sinai, God built up a
vast reservoir of water deep beneath the hard rock layers of the Negev.
There are billions of cubic feet of water stored under the Negev.
However, a serious problem existed when it was first discovered. The
water was 1300 to 2000 feet under the Negev, and this consisted of very
hard rock layers. The technology of man, in the seventies, had not yet
reached the level of capability to consistently drill a large number of
wells to this depth. However, God informed Daniel, in Chapter 12, Verse
4, that something would happen in the end times which would increase
man's technological capabilities: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the
words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to
and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Now we have the
technological knowledge to recover this vast underground supply of
water. At first, it was feared the water might have a high salt
content, such that it would not be usable. But we were surprised to
discover its salt content was only one-tenth of that of the open oceans
and seas of the world. It can very easily be converted to drinkable
water. It was also a pleasant surprise to Israel to discover it could
be directly applied to botanical growth without any harmful resultant.
In fact, in many cases, it produces a higher quality of fruits and
vegetables if left untreated from its recovery state. God has placed
enough water under the Negev to more than support the remnant of Israel
for more than 3 and ½ prophetic years. But what about food for almost 2
million Jews? More on this in Prophecy Update Number 9.
In our very first prophecy update we issued the following
statement: "I believe it is quite likely that, by the time the year 2003
rolls around, numerous meetings will have been held behind closed doors
between the leaders of Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Libya, Sudan, Algeria,
Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, and Afghanistan. I believe that these
meetings will eventually result in a consolidated plan to lure Israel
into a false sense of security. After this goal has been attained, a
vicious surprise attack will be launched from the borders of Syria and
Lebanon. It will be by far the best coordinated attack ever launched
against Israel and, with the Palestinians operating from within, it will
force Israel into the Negev." This week the Arab leaders held their
first regular summit meeting in 10 years in Amman,
Jordan. Bashar Assad, the president of Syria, in his speech at the
opening of the summit, sent a message of reconciliation to Yassar
Arafat.
After his speech he met with Arafat in a closed meeting in a hotel
room next to the summit conference hall.
The meeting was also attended by Assad's vice president and Arafat's
information and culture minister.
Palestinian officials said the meeting was "fruitful and constructive,"
and that "They agreed to reactivate
the joint coordination on the basis of a just and comprehensive peace."
The fact that they agreed to coordinate their peace policies was a
breakthrough
after eight years of tense relations between the two sides. These tense
relations
began when Hafez Assad, Bashar's late father, became suspicious of
Arafat because
of his seeking a peaceful settlement with Israel on his own initiative,
without
Syria's approval. This is from a World - Associated Press release as
updated on
March 28, at 7:25 AM EST. For the next several years there will be
more and more
closed meetings between the leaders of the 10 aforementioned countries,
and these meetings will also include the leaders of the numerous
terrorist groups they control.
At each regular Arab summit meeting there will be more and more "side"
meetings behind closed doors.
The only way that the Arab nations can ever hope to defeat Israel is to
lead her into a false sense of security.
This will take several years of numerous closed door meetings, and the
terrorist leaders must be convinced that
by temporarily stopping their activities against Israel, eventually they
will be able to obtain their long-sought
revenge in a killing spree of horror.
When you see Israel and Syria negotiating
for the Golan Heights, the terrorist groups settling down, and the
Palestinians seeming to be satisfied with
less than Barak offered them, then Katie, bar the door. "[9] Thou shalt
ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the
land,
thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. [10] Thus saith the
Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things
come
into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: [11] And thou shalt
say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them
that are at
rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates," (Ezekiel 38:9-11).
