It Is Written
What is going on today in Israel, we cannot pray it away or fight against it because it will happen as the Lord has already spoken. In Mark's Gospel it is written:
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and after three days rise again.
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men Chapter 8:31-33
So many have commented regarding President Bush going against God for helping to divide up the land of Israel, as well as the PM of Israel E. Olmert. But, in retrospect, none of us but God knows their minds, and none of us know if he or Olmert knows that they are fulfilling the prophetic scriptures concerning the land of Israel and God's plan for it. The only thing we do know is that Scripture is being fulfilled in our generation and in our day and that Jesus Christ will very soon return to earth immediately after the tribulation of those days, and every eye shall see him, as it is written in Matthew 24:29,30
Almost sixty years ago, on May 14, 1948, the nation of Israel was birthed in a day, as God's prophet Isaiah wrote:
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children Chapter 66:8
And God's prophet Ezekiel wrote:
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel Chapter 37:12. Since that time and up to the present, Jerusalem has been and is becoming an increasingly burdensome stone for all people, just as written by God's prophet Zechariah, as all eyes are on Jerusalem today in the political and spiritual sphere:
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the seige both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it Chapter 12:1,2
Jerusalem will again be divided and be under seige in the end before it's over. Zechariah 14:1-2. This has to happen for it is written, and the land will be divided as it is written. As it stands today, Judea and Samaria, falsely dubbed the "West Bank" or the heartland and Holy Land of Israel, is considered by the world governments to be "occupied territory" by the Jewish people and Israel is now being forced to trade it for peace with her hostile arab neighbors.
Peace will never come until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ the King and Messiah of Israel, returns to defeat the enemies of God and the Jewish people.
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Johoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Joel Chapter 3:1,2
BEHOLD, the day of the Lord cometh and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; AND THE CITY SHALL BE TAKEN, AND THE HOUSES RIFLED, AND THE WOMEN RAVISHED; AND HALF OF THE CITY SHALL GO FORTH INTO CAPTIVITY, AND THE RESIDUE OF THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF FROM THE CITY. Zechariah 14: 1-2
Eventually this too will happen.
Annapolis is but a stepping stone as all prophesy will come to pass just as it is written. We have seen and are now seeing in part just what our Lord said would come to pass. I have great sorrow for Israel, but at the same time I rejoice because I know time is short and we must make the most of what time is left for the Lord, as the Lord's return is near. One third of Israel will be saved and two thirds shall be cut off, as it is written by God's prophet Zechariah:
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on my name, and I will hear them; I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The Lord is my God. Chapter 14:8,9
It will happen just as it is written.

Olmert government signing away Jerusalem
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni last week concluded an unofficial agreement to hand over control of the Atarot Airport in the Atarot Industrial Zone of northern Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority, according to local Jerusalem newspaper Kol Hazman.
Citing "senior Foreign Ministry sources," the report indicated that Livni and the Olmert government are ready to let the Palestinian Authority integrate the Atarot Airport into the greater Ramallah area in yet another effort to bolster Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' regime against rival Hamas.
Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski pointed out the obvious security risk in surrendering the Atarot Airport, which Palestinian terrorists are likely to use as a base for aerial attacks on the Israeli capital.
Lupolianski vowed to accelerate his plan to build 10,000 more Jewish units in Atarot to thwart the government's intentions in the area.
Both Livni's and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's offices refused to answer questions from Israel National News regarding the original report, insisting that the contents of behind-the-scenes talks with the Palestinian Authority need to remain secret.
Israel legal groups, however, have filed suit against the government for violating Israel's Basic Law by entering into negotiations aimed at dividing Jerusalem. The city's unity is guaranteed by Israel's law, which can only be altered by a special majority in the Knesset.
