It's obvious if we want it. If we don't, we'll find a way around it. But, no matter how we students of Bible prophecy decide to deal with it, it's still there. Israel and 15 other countries have just entered into a seven year period that's designed to bring them into closer relationship with each other and the European Union Read about it here. And, if you've been following the chatter coming from Middle East and world leaders, it looks like it could be working Read about it here.

Have you noticed? Israel wants peace, the PA wants peace, Egypt wants peace, Jordan wants peace and even Syria wants peace. In fact, Syria appears to want peace badly enough to push Hamas toward making peace. Why do you think that is? Could it have something to do with the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP)? I strongly suspect it may. You see, all these regional players -- except for Hamas -- are ENP participating countries. And, something is making them move.

Those who follow my reporting know that I try to let the prophecies and the events speak for themselves. When I learned that the Western European Union was scheduled to become an alliance of 10 nations, I recalled the many books on Bible prophecy that foresaw such an event in Europe. And those who have followed FP are also aware of all the events that have occurred since -- also things foresaw by those books. Now, once again according to those same old books on prophecy, we see a covenant with many and a seven-year confirming process that began on January 1, 2007.

What we didn't see happen, unfortunately, is the rapture of the church. You see, our old prophecy books also told us that the rapture was going to occur first -- before all these other events of prophecy. Well, it's obvious that it didn't. That leaves us with two possible choices. Either the order of events found in those old books is wrong, or the geo-political events that we've been witnessing are not the fulfillments of the prophecies -- just a strange series of coincidences.

Yes, we can find a way around the obvious. But, even if we do, all the things that I've been reporting won't go away -- nor Israel's next seven years.

And, unfortunately, I'll still be here reporting.
