Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, as well as Jordan's King Abdullah and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak met one on one with Obama and Hillary Clinton today. Obama warned: "This moment of opportunity may not soon come again."
"The hard work is only beginning," Obama said. "Neither success nor failure is inevitable. But this much we know: if we do not make the attempt then failure is guaranteed.
"If both sides do not commit to these talks in earnest, then long-standing conflict will only continue to fester and consume another generation, and this we simply cannot allow."
Netanyahu is quoted as saying: “We have demonstrated in the past, and will continue to demonstrate our commitment to a complete, undivided Jerusalem... Everyone knows what will happen if we were to leave those areas and divide Jerusalem. Someone will enter – and that someone will be Hamas.”
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Barak told Haaretz that Tuesday night's murderous attack by Hamas terrorists was “a very serious incident, the likes of which we haven't seen for a long time.”
Four Jews -- two men and two women, one of whom was nine months pregnant -- were shot to death by a Hamas terrorist cell on Highway 60 at the Bani Nayim junction, between the Jewish community of Pene Hever and Hevron just as darkness fell, ending the daily Muslim fast of Ramadan. According to security sources, the terrorists had "confirmed the kill" by approaching the car and firing at point-blank range once the victims were already either seriously wounded or dead. Ten children were orphaned by the attack.

So, those were the headlines today as peace talks begin between Palestine and Israel. As a Bible believing Christian, I am reminded of Biblical prophecy whenever words of 'peace' dance about.
Daniel 9:27
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”
Ezekiel 39:9
“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years.
Should be watching for a 7 year Peace Treaty to be signed? And, if there is a Peace Treaty, will it be the fullfillment of Daniel's prophecy? Is Obama the Anti-Christ as in Daniel 9:27?
Stand by.
