Sat Apr 6,12:29 PM ET CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush called on Israel to withdraw its forces "without delay" from cities in the West Bank it has recently occupied in a military offensive across the Palestinian-controlled area. Speaking during a joint news conference at his Texas ranch with visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bush said, "We agree that the Palestinian leadership must order an immediate and effective cease-fire and crack down on terrorist networks." He added, "And we agree that Israel should halt incursions into Palestinian-controlled areas and begin to withdraw without delay from those cities it has recently occupied." Bush on Thursday urged Israel withdraw from the Palestinian areas and ordering Secretary of State Colin Powell to depart for the region on Sunday to revive cease-fire talks. But Israel on Friday and Saturday pressed ahead with military operations in the West Bank. Bush said at the news conference, "I don't expect them to ignore" the call made on Thursday for a halt to military incursions in the Palestinian-controlled areas. Blair said he believed Israel would "heed the words of President Bush." END This meeting with Tony Blair is very significant and it may very well bring to light who the antichrist is. I'm starting to wonder a little about these two leaders. At the least they're making me think. I do believe, that it is very possible that we could eventually send troops to the Middle East. That could be a part of the seven-year peace plan to protect Israel. Many don't realize this but the purpose of the peace plan with the antichrist is for Israel's protection not necessarily to bring peace between the participants. It's possible that the U.S. could take matters into their own hands and take responsibility for maintaining peace in the region through force. Of course, that would mean that President Bush would be the antichrist. It's also possible that with the blessing of the Bush administration that Blair could be given the responsibility to maintain peace in the region through his peace plan. If this is true, Tony Blair will one day turn on the U.S. and destroy it. It should be noted, that I believe that the antichrist will receive his power initially from the U.S. These of course, are just theories and not to be taken seriously, but we should think about them as possibilities. I think the Arab world will initially accept the peace arrangement but eventually will rebel with Russia. Also, I think East Jerusalem will be given to the Arab world as their capital. This will be a concession for agreeing to peace with Israel. It will be a seven-year experiment to see if the two countries can co-exist. Pastor Malone
