December 13, 2001 The Israeli Cabinet cut off contact with Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat Thursday, saying it holds him directly responsible for an ambush of a bus in the West Bank Wednesday that killed 10 and injured 30 others. "Chairman Arafat has made himself irrelevant as far as Israel is concerned, and therefore no contacts will be maintained with him," the Cabinet said in a statement early Thursday. The Cabinet said Israel would send its own troops to the West Bank and Gaza to arrest suspected terrorists and confiscate weapons. The statement followed Israeli airstrikes on Palestinian targets in Gaza and the West Bank late Wednesday in retaliation for the ambush of the bus by Palestinian gunmen. (cnn.com) Every time it looks like peace, war breaks out. I am more then ever looking for the Lord to come at any moment and rapture the church. This must have been what Noah felt as 120 years of warning people was coming to an end. He didn't know when God would destroy the world with water but he knew it would be soon. This is what I see in the very near future. Israel will continue to step up its military presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It wouldn't surprise me if they took possession of some of the land in either location. Although, I do believe it will be short lived. I believe that through this present military action that Israel and the Middle East Arab nations will come very close to an all out war. It is my firm belief that this war will be headed off by an eleventh hour peace agreement between the Arab world and Israel. This agreement will be for seven years, but halfway through, things will change for the worst. How do I know this will happen? I don't! What will the time frame be? It could be days, months, and maybe even years (although I doubt years). But as I watch the headlines, I see a day coming very soon in which there will be no more warnings. Jesus foretold many signs while here on earth about His birth and also of the end times. One thing He made clear was that that final generation could know the day that they were living in. Jesus speaking said, "And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand (Luke 21:30-31). As Jesus declares, we know that summer is fast approaching when we begin to see the leaf buds on a tree; likewise, when you begin to see all the endtime prophecies beginning to take place, look up, summer is fast approaching. As I see prophecy unfolding before my eyes, I can see the many people that have been reached and changed over the years of this ministry. My only prayer is that you will be touched by the Holy Spirit as you read these pages and realize that you can be saved and your life changed. Don't wait! Each day brings you closer to that final hour. This could be your last opportunity to come to the Lord. Pastor Malone
