    REVEALING THE FUTURE THROUGH BIBLE PROPHECY

    PERSPECTIVE

    STATEMENT Of fAITH We believe that

    the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that

    Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and

    that He will come again to establish a kingdomthat shall never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44).

    Those who are born again (John 3:3-5) will

    have eternal life and rule as kings and priests

    with Christ forever.

    wHAT IS endtime?In 1968, Irvin BaxterJr. discovered the United States and other

    modern nations in the Bible. He also found

    the Berlin Wall in the Bible and that one day

    it was to be torn down, re-uniting Germany,

    and that event would be the catalyst to spark

    an international movement called the New

    World Order. These things have now come to

    pass. Irvin Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister,

    began Endtie ministries in 1986 when he

    wrote A Message For The President, a book

    explaining the major prophecies of the Bible

    which he had been teaching since 1968. After

    the fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetic fulfillment

    accelerated rapidly. The decision was made

    to launch Endtimemagazine. The purpose of

    the magazine is to explain the prophecies of

    the Bible and to show that they are now being

    fulfilled in intricate detail. Articles focus on

    the soon return of Jesus Christ, the truth of

    the Bible, and the need for salvation. Endtime

    does not deal with doctrinal controversies, as

    valid as they may be. This will be left to other

    publications.

    W Summ Hghghs

    The speeches from the worlds heads of state went on continuously for three solid

    days. After it was over, I found myself assessing what really took place. How was

    the world different after September 16th than before September 14th? Months

    had been poured into negotiating the Outcome Document that would be adopted by

    the nations of the world at the Summit. The goals set for the meeting by Ko Annan

    and the UN staff were far-reaching. Annans Goals:

    wHAT wAS ACTUAlly ACHIEvED?

    bIggEST fAIlURES

    President George W. Bush addresses theWorld Summit at the United Nations,

    Wednesday, September 14, 2005.

    Every developing country should adoptand implement by 2006, a comprehen-sive national strategy to achieve the Mil-lennium Development Goals (MDGs)by 2015; and mobilize all its resourcesbehind that strategy.Developed nations should donate .7%of their Gross Domestic Product to de-

    veloping nations annually.For the longer term, other innovative

    sources of nance (Editors note: a glob-al tax) must be considered.

    Sign a comprehensive convention onterrorism.Stop and reverse nuclear proliferation. Establish a Peacebuilding Commission.

    Embrace the principle of the Respon-sibility to Protect. This would providefor collective action against genocide,ethnic cleansing and crimes against hu-manity. If national authorities are unableor unwilling to protect their citizens, theresponsibility then shifts to the interna-tional community; and that, in the last re-sort, the UN Security Council may takeenforcement action according to the UNCharter.

    Revitalize the UN General Assemblyby adopting a comprehensive package of

    reforms.Make the Security Council more broadly

    representative of the internationalcommunity as a whole, as well as of thegeopolitical realities of today.Create a new Human Rights Councilto replace the present Commission onHuman Rights, which has largely beendiscredited.

    Though some observers painted WorldSummit 2005 as a failure, the fact is, all

    of the above goals were agreed to, ex-cept for two.

    Annan described as most preciousthe clear acceptance by all UN membersof collective responsibility to protectcivilian populations against genocide,

    war crimes and crimes against humanitythrough the Security Council when localauthorities are failing. (Editors note: Thisopens the door for violation of nationalsovereignty in other instances as well.)

    No progress was made toward haltingnuclear proliferation, and the terms ofUN reform could not be agreed upon.

    Annan was especially disappointed bythe failure to reach agreement on thesubject of nuclear non-proliferation.He warned, this summit may cometo be remembered only for its failure tohalt the unraveling of the non-prolifera-tion regimeand its other real successes

    would then indeed be overwhelmed.All in all, World Summit 2005 was a

    huge leap forward for globalization andworld government.

    COVERSTORY

    W Summ 2005Why did 153 heads of state attend the UN World Summit

    2005? Because they understand that we are moving further

    and further into world government.

    WorldGoVErNMENtis a abu Jeusaem an he tempe MunEndtime magazine presents the full text of the address by

    Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to the High Level Plenary

    Meeting of the 60th Session of the General Assembly of the

    United Nations World Summit 2005.

    attendance, the 60th session of the UN General Assembly

    marked the largest gathering of world leaders in history.

    MidEAStWAtCHramap f Peace PeceAn initiative called the Roadmap to Peace is one of the

    greatest threats currently facing Israel. Although the

    dividing up of Gods land is often considered a prerequisite

    to peace, implementation of the Roadmap will have cost

    nearly half of the Promised Landa crushing blow to

    Israels political sovereignty and biblical identity.

    * HOly ROMAN ANTICHRISTI heard you say the other day the Anti-

    christ will come from the new Holy Roman

    Empire. Would you please tell me what/

    where that is? Thanks.

    Kathie Redel | Jefferson City, MO

    Rep| It will actually be a revived

    Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Em-

    pire was born in 800 AD when Pope LeoIII placed a crown on the head of Char-

    lemagne, pronouncing him the Emperor of

    the Holy Roman Empire. For the next 1,000

    years, the Holy Roman Empire ruled in Eu-

    rope. During that time, it was always led by

    Europes strongest political leader and its

    strongest religious leaderthe Pope. The

    Holy Roman Empire is being recreated

    right now in the European Union. Present-

    ly, 25 nations are in the EU. The Antichrist

    and the False Prophet will soon arise in at

    least part of Europe. This will be the revival

    of the Holy Roman Empire.

    * OvERAll vIEwWhich one of your Bible studies on VHS

    tape do you recommend for a person just

    trying to get an overall view of endtime

    prophecy going back to, at least, Israel

    becoming a nation in 1948 to now and be-

    yond? I enjoy your show on KGDP in Santa

    Maria, CA. Thank you.

    Tom Naas

    Rep| Our video 11:59 PM gives nineslam-dunk proofs that we are in the end-

    time right now. However, the best thing for

    an overall view of Bible prophecy is our

    Understanding the Endtime Level I se-

    ries. This consists of ten lessons that will

    really give a good understanding of the

    Bibles prophecies. It is available on DVD,

    * SAlvATION IN THE MIllENNIUMI was listening to a program and their guest

    has a web site about ancient documents.

    He was saying that the Antichrist would be

    the one that would make the deal for the

    temple to be rebuilt. Is this possible?

    Also, when the Lord returns to the earth

    and reigns for one thousand years, are

    people going to be able to repent and be

    saved during this thousand years? This

    does not seem fair. (Could it be that) peo-

    ple will take a chance, and wait, and still

    be able to be saved during the Lords thou-sand-year reign?

    David Green

    Rep| The Bible does not specically

    say that the Antichrist will make a deal for

    the rebuilding of the temple. It says that

    the Antichrist will conrm a covenant with

    Israel. This covenant will afrm Israels

    right to exist as a nation in the land of Is-

    rael. Whether this conrming includes any-

    thing about the building of Israels Third

    Temple is only a matter of speculation.

    Concerning salvation in the millennium,

    the Bible is not clear. We know there will be

    some form of salvation because there will

    be people born throughout the thousand

    years. What salvation will be like when Sa-

    tan is bound during this time is not explic-

    itly described in the Bible. We can be sure

    of one thing: However it works, it will be

    fair. We know this because God is just and

    fair in all of His ways.

    * THE ROADMAP COvENANT?

    Daniel said that the Antichrist will con-rm a covenant with many for one week.

    To my knowledge, there is no mention of

    the Roadmap for Peace being a seven-

    year treaty. On the other hand, there are

    two covenants set to be conrmed in 2007

    between the EU and Israel that are, in fact,

    seven-year treaties.

    If the Roadmap is not a seven-year trea-

    ty, it does not t the scripture. I read that

    the last attempt at the Roadmap was a

    three-year plan. I cant nd any information

    as to the timeline on the current attempt to

    implement the Roadmap.

    If it is not a 7-year treaty, then it is not

    the one spoken of by Daniel. If you con-

    vince your audience that this is it and you

    turn out to be wrong, then, when the real

    conrmation of the covenant takes place

    in a couple of years, no one will believe

    you. Please check it out and, if it is not a

    seven-year covenant, then say so on your

    program. Its so important.

    Nancy Storm

    Rep| The prophecy merely says the

    covenant will be conrmed for seven years.

    It does not say that it will be labeled as

    a seven-year agreement. In my opinion, if

    the Roadmap for Peace becomes the

    basis for policy between Israel and the

    world community, and this continues for

    seven years, then it would qualify as the

    conrmation of the covenant.

    At the same time, let me emphasize

    that I do not yet know whether the Road-

    map is the prophesied conrmation of the

    covenant. It contains all of the required el-

    ements, from all I can see, but I am not yet

    willing to say absolutely that the Roadmap

    is the conrmation.

    * THE NEw ROMAN EMPIREIs there any follow up info regarding the

    article about Charlemagne and the new

    Roman Empire? I thought it was interest-

    ing that the article was written in 2000. It

    talked about the possibility that the next

    pope might be corrupt, or involved with

    the new Roman Empire that one Germanofcial wants as a new German Holy Ro-

    man Empire. What are some thoughts

    about the new pope being German? I had

    reservations and an uneasy feeling about

    him when he was put in. I chalked it up

    to unfamiliarity and that he is newnot to

    mention the fact that I am a Mormon and

    Greg Howell

    Rep| The new pope, Benedict XVI, is

    German, as you pointed out. Germany has

    been the center of the Holy Roman Empire

    since 800 AD. Benedict XVI is emphasizing

    in many of his speeches the need for a Eu-

    ropean spiritual reawakening. St. Benedict,

    whose name the new pope chose to reign

    under, was declared the patron saint of all

    of Europe by Pope Paul VI.

    All of this is very interesting, since the

    Bible prophesies that the Holy Roman

    Empire will soon be revived in Europe. The

    Antichrist will rise to power there. This will

    be accomplished through an alliance with

    the pope who reigns at the time. Since we

    are very close to the rise of the Antichrist,

    the possibility of the new pope being the

    religious partner to the Antichrist, as

    prophesied in scripture, is very interesting.Because Pope Benedict XVI is 78 years of

    age, it appears unlikely that he will fulll

    the prophesied role of the False Prophet,

    although it is not impossible. The next pope

    would seem to be a more likely candidate.

    * TwO-HORNED bEASTWhat if the two-horned beast of Revelation

    13 is the coalition of Great Britain and the

    United States? Horns represent kings or

    kingdoms. Both countries are supposed to

    be Christian, but we know how corrupt they

    have become. It looked like a lamb and

    spoke like a dragon. If we participate with

    the national ID act coming up in the U.S.,

    are we taking the number of his name?

    Could this number be the number of the

    nation or a national ID? If so, we could be

    closer than even you all think. Thanks.

    Todd

    Rep| The two-horned beast of Revela-

    tion 13 is not Great Britain and/or the Unit-

    ed States. It is the False Prophet. We know

    this because Revelation 13:13-14 says

    that the two-horned beast will do great mir-

    acles and wonders and that he will deceive

    those who dwell on the earth by the means

    of those miracles which he had the power

    to do. Revelation 19:20 tells us that it was

    the False Prophet that performed miracles

    before the Antichrist and deceived the peo-

    ple on earth by those miracles that he had

    the power to do.

    * THE DElUSIONAl ANTICHRISTI listened to an archived broadcast ofPolitics

    and Religion. Thank you for making those

    programs available for download. I am as-

    suming that I can put them on a CD and use

    it for ministry purposes. There was a caller

    who asked if the Antichrist was at the UN

    World Summit. Your response was basicallythat he would either be there, or be fully

    aware of what was discussed. My question

    is this: Does the Antichrist know who he is,

    or will there be a particular time when Sa-

    tan will possess the individual? How does

    that work? Thanks for a great ministry.

    Matt Lenz

    Rep| The Antichrist will probably not

    see himself as the Antichrist. He is more

    likely to entertain fantasies of being the real

    Christ. He will at least come to see himself

    as a messianic gure to some degree. The

    Antichrist will be revealed at the time of

    the abomination of desolation, according

    to II Thessalonians 2:34. This coincides

    perfectly with Satan being banished from

    heaven and being conned to the earth,

    (Revelation 12:914). This occurs three

    and one-half years before Armageddon.

    There are reasons to believe that Satan

    will personally possess the Antichrist at the

    time of his casting down. This will then trig-

    ger the 3.5 years of the great tribulation.

    * CHINESE wARI found an issue of your magazine that

    predicted a basic time of a Chinese war.

    Yet time passed and a Chinese war never

    happened. What do you have to say about

    that? What if China is not the country of the

    200 million man army? The Bible does not

    say exactly what nation it is, does it?

    Kakarauta

    Rep| Im not sure exactly what you

    mean when you say we predicted a basic

    time for a Chinese war. We have never said

    that a Chinese war will happen at a par-

    ticular time. We have never even said for

    sure that the 200 million man army will be

    Chinese. It is true that war with China hasseemed imminent a few times because of

    statements the Chinese government itself

    has made. It is also true that the 200 mil-

    lion man army certainly appears to come

    from China, since China specically boast-

    ed she could eld an army of 200 million.

    There are two other potential 200 million

    man armies on earth today. One of them is

    India. It does not seem likely that India will

    fulll the prophecy. The other is the Muslim

    world. Islam claims the same population as

    China1.3 billion. Since Islam is the princi-

    pal force behind international terrorism, it

    cannot be totally disregarded. However, the

    Muslims are not unied and do not appear

    to have the military wherewithal to ght a

    war that will kill two billion human beings.

    Because of these factors, I think China will

    probably be the source of the 200 million

    man army, but I am not positive.

    6TH TRUMPET wATCH

    6TH TRUMPET |Ri jinedChin in wr gme.Chinese and Russian military forces con-ducted a joint naval blockade and amphibi-ous landing, an exercise involving nearly10,000 personnel. The blockade involvedguided missile destroyers and jet ghters, ajoint amphibious landing by air force andmarine paratroopers and a forced evacu-ation. The Chinese state press said theexercises took place against the backdropof the ght against terrorism, separatismand extremism, but experts said the drillswere most likely aimed at Taiwan, whichChina considers part of its territory. WillRussia join China in a future confrontationwith the U.S. over Taiwan?

    6TH TRUMPET|W

    Chin wrning u.s.?According to defense and intelligence of-cials, the joint Chinese and Russian militaryexercise conducted recently was meant asa political signal to the United States. TheU.S. was not invited to observe the wargames - a sign of the anti-U.S. nature ofthe exercises. The eight day exercises weredubbed Peace Mission 2005 and involvedtroops who will ght terrorists in a simu-lated regional conict. Since China denesterrorism as including separatists, U.S.intelligence ofcials think the exercises are

    directed at Taiwan, which Beijing views as abreakaway province, and the United States,which has vowed to protect Taiwan.

    world peace and harmony could berealized.

    World Summit 2005 was a follow-up to the Millennium Summit 2000and was designed to measure theachieved progress toward the Mil-lennium Development Goals, as wellas inspire new impetus toward theirfulllment.

    the threat of international epidemicsare all used to argue for the necessity ofinternational law. International law re-quires international enforcement, thus

    we must have a World Court. Interna-tional solutions to international prob-lems all require nancing; consequent-

    ly, this necessitates the World Bank andthe International Monetary Fund. Thefear of international epidemics man-dates the need for the World HealthOrganization.

    By now you get the picture. Blockby block, we have been witnessing thebuilding of a complete new level of gov-ernmentinternational government.

    Functions that have, until now, beenresponsibilities of national leadershipare quietly being shifted to the globallevel. This revolution presently under-

    way is called globalization.

    wHATS wRONg wITH THIS PROCESS?

    Once governmental structures are setup at the global level, internationalpoliticians inevitably start believing it istheir responsibility to resolve conictsamong nations. The rst method ofconict resolution is diplomacy, whichmost people do not object to. Howev-er, when diplomacy fails, the next op-tion is economic sanctions, which can

    dramatically impact the well-being of anation. When all else fails, military ac-tion is the choice of last resort.

    Economic sanctions and militaryforce are both methods of coercionused to force nations to submit toglobal government structures. The UNcharter provides for these courses ofaction. Obviously, the United Nations

    was designed from the beginning to bea world government.

    Until recently, however, the worldgovernmental functions of the UN

    were limited to settling disputes be-tween nations. Within the last ten

    years, the UN has been expanding itsauthority to intervene in the internalaffairs of nations, knowing all the timethat these violations of national sover-eignty were beyond the authorizationsof the UN charter. The rationale forthis expansion of powers has been to

    accuse nations, sometimes legitimately,of genocide, crimes against humanityor war crimes.

    wORlD SUMMIT 2005 STRENgTHENED

    wORlD gOvERNMENT

    Although it was reported that some ofthe goals of the 2005 Summit were notachieved, a huge leap into world gov-ernment was made. Ko Annan wasecstatic that the nations enshrined intothe ofcial document of the Summitthe right to intervene in the internal af-fairs of nations. The right was clearlydeclared in the Outcome Documentthat was adopted by the Summit. Theexact text of the alarming Section 139of the document follows:

    139. The international community, throughthe United Nations, also has the respon-sibility to use appropriate diplomatic, hu-manitarian and other peaceful means, in ac-cordance with Chapter VI and VIII of theCharter, to help protect populations from

    genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing andcrimes against humanity. In this context, weare prepared to take collective action, in atimely and decisive manner, through the Se-curity Council, in accordance with the UNCharter, including Chapter VII, on a caseby case basis and in cooperation with rele-vant regional organizations as appropriate,should peaceful means be inadequate andnational authorities manifestly failing to

    protect their populations from genocide, warcrimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes againsthumanity. (Chapter VII of the UN Char-ter is the chapter that authorizes the useof force against nations by the UN.)

    Being able to use the charge of geno-cide to threaten national rulers is sureto keep them bowing to the whimsof the world community. Since the

    charge of genocide is being broadenedto include any supposed discrimina-tion against homosexuals, it is easy tosee where this is heading. The UN hasnow created the International CriminalCourt to try individuals, even heads ofstate, for these categories of crimes.

    So why did 153 heads of state maketheir ways to the UN for World Sum-mit 2005? Because they understand weare moving further and further into

    world government, and they wanted tohave a voice.

    Ladies and gentlemen: It was allabout world government!

    is a abu Jeusaeman he tempe Mun

    T

    he speeches droned on forthree solid days. Every headof state from 153 nationswas allotted ve minutes in

    the UN podium. Most exceeded thatlimit. Delegates typically wanderedaround on the General Assemblyoor as the speeches were made,

    and whispered conversationsbetrayed the insinuated pomp andcircumstances. Many of the speecheswere clearly being ignored.

    Five minutes before he was tostep to the podium, Ariel Sharonrose up quietly from his seat beside

    his Deputy Prime Minister ShimonPerez and his Foreign Minister

    Silvan Shalom and slowly traipsedhis way behind the stage with whatappeared to be an arthritic limp.

    As the preceding speakerstepped away, the crowd grewconspicuously quiet. Those moving

    and standing quickly went to theirseats. Suddenly, the entire GeneralAssembly hall was transformed intoa huge listening ear.

    Sharon slowly and deliberately tookhis place in the podium, shufinghis notes for a moment. I arrived

    here from Jerusalem, the capital ofthe Jewish people for over 3,000years and the undivided and eternal

    capital of the State of Israel.He could have stopped there, and

    gone home. That single statementrumbled through the audience like

    an aftershock. He had already madethe strongest statement that couldpossibly be made. Any other issuespaled by comparison. Its all about

    Jerusalem.Talk about refugees, settlements,

    fences, terrorists, or anything elsethat peppers front pages aroundthe world every day. But in the end,its all about Jerusalem.

    Jerusalem is why Yassar Arafat

    walked away from so manynegotiating tables. It is what has

    frustrated every politician andnegotiator that has ever enteredthe fray. Israel will never surrenderJerusalem, and the Palestinians willnever stand down until they do. TheUnited Nations wants Jerusalem.

    The Roman Catholic Churchwants Jerusalem. The Muslimswant Jerusalem. The Jews wantJerusalem.Who will nally get it?

    Jesus Christ will. And there willbe no lasting peace there until He

    comes. So when you pray for thepeace of Jerusalem, as admonishedin Psalm 122:6, you are praying for

    Messiah to come and save the day.Have no fear. He is on His way.Endtime magazine presents the

    full text of Prime Minister Sharons

    speech here for your review. In aworld full of people who have noregard for the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob, Sharons speech

    evokes a stark reminder that Israeland Jerusalem continue to bepriceless pawns in the war betweengood and evil.

    As politicians negotiate to tradethe Promised Land for promisedpeace, it is important to remember

    that there is no peace, saith theLord, to the wicked (Isaiah 48:22).

    Eventually, the whole world will beforced to face that fact. Tensionsover Jerusalem will continue toescalate until the Prince of Peacecomes and resolves the conictonce and for all.

    Make no mistake. Almighty Godswore that in Jerusalem, will Iput my name forever (2 Kings21:7; 2 Chronicles 33:7). Jerusalemis destined to be the capital of thecoming kingdom of Jesus Christ.

    He that shall come will come, and

    will not tarry (Hebrews 10:37).Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

    In a world full of peoplewho have no regard for theGod of Abraham, Isaac andJacob, Sharons speech evokes

    a stark reminder that Israeland Jerusalem continue tobe priceless pawns in the warbetween good and evil.

    I arrived here from Jerusalem, the capi-tal of the Jewish people for over 3,000years and the undivided and eternal cap-ital of the State of Israel.

    At the outset, I would like to expressthe profound feelings of empathy ofthe people of Israel for the Americannation, and our sincere condolences to

    the families who lost their loved ones. Iwish to encourage my friend, PresidentGeorge Bush, and the American people,in their determined efforts to assist the

    victims of the hurricane and rebuild theruins after the destruction. The State ofIsrael, which the United States stood be-side at times of trial, is ready to extendany assistance at its disposal in this im-mense humanitarian mission.

    I stand before you at the gate of nationsas a Jew and as a citizen of the demo-cratic, free, and sovereign State of Isra-el, a proud representative of an ancientpeople, whose numbers are few, but

    whose contribution to civilization andto the values of ethics, justice, and faith,surrounds the world and encompasseshistory. The Jewish people has a longmemory, the memory which united theexiles of Israel for thousands of years:a memory which has its origin in Gods

    commandment to our forefather Abra-ham: Go forth! and continued withthe receiving of the Torah at the foot ofMount Sinai and the wanderings of thechildren of Israel in the desert, led byMoses on their journey to the promisedland, the Land of Israel.

    I was born in the Land of Israel, theson of pioneerspeople who tilled theland and sought no ghtswho did notcome to Israel to dispossess its residents.

    If the circumstances had not demandedit, I would not have become a soldier,but rather a farmer and agriculturist.My rst love was, and remains, manuallabor; sowing and harvesting, the pas-tures, the ock and the cattle.

    I, as someone whose path of life ledhim to be a ghter and commander inall Israels wars, reach out today to ourPalestinian neighbors in a call for rec-onciliation and compromise to end thebloody conict, and embark on the path

    which leads to peace and understandingbetween our peoples. I view this as mycalling and my primary mission for thecoming years.

    The Land of Israel is precious tome, precious to us, the Jewish people,more than anything. Relinquishing anypart of our forefathers legacy is heart-breaking, as difcult as the parting ofthe Red Sea. Every inch of land, everyhill and valley, every stream and rock,is saturated with Jewish history, replete

    with memories. The continuity of Jew-ish presence in the Land of Israel neverceased. Even those of us who were ex-iled from our land, against their will, tothe ends of the earththeir souls, forall generations, remained connected totheir homeland, by thousands of hiddenthreads of yearning and love, expressedthree times a day in prayer and songs oflonging.

    The Land of Israel is the open Bible,

    the written testimony, the identity andright of the Jewish people. Under itsskies, the prophets of Israel expressedtheir claims for social justice, and theireternal vision for alliances between peo-ples, in a world which would know nomore war. Its cities, villages, vistas, ridges,deserts, and plains preserve as loyal wit-nesses its ancient Hebrew names. Pageafter page, our unique land is unfurled,and at its heart is united Jerusalem, thecity of the Temple upon Mount Moriah,the axis of the life of the Jewish peoplethroughout all generations, and the seatof its yearnings and prayers for 3,000years. The city to which we pledged aneternal vow of faithfulness, which for-ever beats in every Jewish heart: If Iforget thee, O Jerusalem, may my righthand forget its cunning!

    I say these things to you because theyare the essence of my Jewish conscious-ness, and of my belief in the eternaland unimpeachable right of the people

    of Israel to the Land of Israel. How-ever, I say this here also to emphasizethe immensity of the pain I feel deepin my heart at the recognition that wehave to make concessions for the sakeof peace between us and our Palestinianneighbors.

    The right of the Jewish people tothe Land of Israel does not mean dis-regarding the rights of others in theland. The Palestinians will always be ourneighbors. We respect them, and haveno aspirations to rule over them. They

    are also entitled to freedom and to a na-tional, sovereign existence in a state oftheir own.

    This week, the last Israeli soldier leftthe Gaza Strip, and military law there wasended. The State of Israel proved thatit is ready to make painful concessionsin order to resolve the conict with thePalestinians. The decision to disengage

    was very difcult for me, and involves aheavy personal price. However, it is theabsolute recognition that it is the right

    path for the future of Israel that guidedme. Israeli society is undergoing a dif-cult crisis as a result of the Disengage-ment, and now needs to heal the rifts.

    Now it is the Palestinians turn toprove their desire for peace. The end ofIsraeli control over and responsibility forthe Gaza Strip allows the Palestinians, ifthey so wish, to develop their economyand build a peace-seeking society, whichis developed, free, law-abiding, andtransparent, and which adheres to dem-ocratic principles. The most important

    test the Palestinian leadership will face isin fullling their commitment to put anend to terrorism and its infrastructures,eliminate the anarchic regime of armedgangs, and cease the incitement and in-doctrination of hatred towards Israeland the Jews.

    Until they do so, Israel will know howto defend itself from the horrors of ter-rorism. This is why we built the securityfence, and we will continue to build ituntil it is completed, as would any other

    country defending its citizens. The secu-rity fence prevents terrorists and mur-derers from arriving in city centers on

    a daily basis and targeting citizens ontheir way to work, children on their wayto school, and families sitting togetherin restaurants. This fence is vitally indis-pensable. This fence saves lives!

    The successful implementation of theDisengagement Planopens up a windowof opportunity for advancing towardpeace, in accordance with the sequenceof the Roadmap. The State of Israel iscommitted to the Roadmap and to theimplementation of the Sharm e-Sheikhunderstandings. And I hope that it will

    be possible, through them, to renew thepolitical process.

    I am among those who believe that itis possible to reach a fair compromiseand coexistence in good neighborly rela-tions between Jews and Arabs. However,I must emphasize one fact: There will beno compromise on the right of the Stateof Israel to exist as a Jewish state, withdefensible borders, in full security and

    without threats and terrorism.I call on the Palestinian leadership to

    show determination and leadership, andto eliminate terrorism, violence, and theculture of hatred from our relations. Iam certain that it is in our power to pres-ent our peoples with a new and promis-ing horizon, a horizon of hope.

    As I mentioned, the Jewish people hasa long memory. We remember eventsthat took place thousands of years ago,and certainly remember events that tookplace in this hall during the last 60 years.

    The Jewish people remembers the dra-matic vote in the UN General Assemblyon November 29, 1947, when represen-tatives of the nations recognized ourright to national revival in our historichomeland. However, we also rememberdozens of harsh and unjust decisionsmade by the United Nations over theyears. And we know that, even today,there are those who sit here as represen-tatives of a country whose leadershipcalls to wipe Israel off the face of the

    earthand no one speaks out.The attempts of that country to armitself with nuclear weapons must dis-

    turb the sleep of anyone who desirespeace and stability in the Middle Eastand the entire world. The combinationof murky fundamentalism and supportof terrorist organizations creates a seri-ous threat that every member nation inthe UN must stand against.

    I hope that the comprehensive re-forms which the United Nations isundergoing in its 60th anniversary year

    will include a fundamental change andimprovement in the approach of theUnited Nations, its organizations and

    institutions, toward the State of Israel.

    Peace is a supreme value in the Jewishlegacy, and is the desired goal of ourpolicy. After the long journey of wan-derings and the hardships of the Jew-ish people; after the Holocaust whichobliterated one third of our people;after the long and arduous struggle forrevival; after more than 57 consecutive

    years of war and terrorism which didnot stop the development of the Stateof Israel; after all this, our hearts desire

    was and remains to achieve peace withour neighbors. Our desire for peace isstrong enough to ensure that we willachieve it, only if our neighbors aregenuine partners in this longed-for goal.If we succeed in working together, wecan transform our plot of land, whichis dear to both peoples, from a land ofcontention to a land of peacefor ourchildren and grandchildren.

    In a few days time on the Hebrewcalendar, the New Year will begin, the5,766th year since the Creation. Accord-ing to Jewish belief, the fates of peopleand nations are determined at the New

    Year by the Creatorto be spared or tobe doomed. May the Holy One, blessedbe He, determine that this year, our fateand the fate of our neighbors is peace,mutual respect, and good neighborly re-lations.

    From this distinguished podium, on

    behalf of the people of Israel, I wishall the people of the world a good NewYear.

    ne of the most importantdocuments of moderntimes is the initiative

    to bring about peace inthe Middle East. The

    document called TheRoadmap for Peace is a

    two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conict. The Roadmap,

    if enacted in full detail, will domore to strip Israel of its lands, theintegrity of its political sovereignty

    and its biblical identity, than any

    other modern event. At the sametime, it will establish the State

    of Palestine, enforce one of thegreatest concessions to terrorism inmodern history and nalize one ofIsraels greatest compromises ever.In the global push for Middle East

    peace, even Christians and Jews tendto forget that the formation of a

    Palestinian state is an abdication ofIsraels divine claim to the Promised

    Land. Israel is duty-bound to fend

    for the territory God appointed herthrough covenants with Abrahamand his descendants Isaac and

    Jacob. Her failure to do so is certainto elicit a divine retort.

    SO, wHO IS bEHIND THE ROADMAP?

    Who instigated this formal, interna-tional manhandling of Israel called theRoadmap? According to a PBS videodocumentary entitled, Elusive Peace:Israel and the Arabs, Jordans King

    Abdullah was the driving force behindThe Roadmap for Peace.

    King Abdullah is the 43rd generationdirect descendant of the ProphetMuhammad, of the Islamic faith. He

    was educated in Britain and the U.S.,and received Middle Eastern studiesat Oxford University and a Mastersin Foreign Service at GeorgetownUniversity. He is very popular in the

    West, and perhaps the most famousMuslim on earth (as opposed toinfamous Osama bin Laden).

    According to King Abdullahs web-site, the Roadmap is based on thebreakthrough peace initiatives by

    Arab nations at the Beirut Summit of2002. That summit held in Lebanonon March 28, 2002, was a meeting ofthe kings, presidents and emirs of the

    Arab states. The ofcial statement of

    the Beirut Summit greeted with prideand honor the valiant martyrs of the in-tifada, and expressed solidarity withSyria, among other things. (Intifada, inthis case, refers to the uprisings of hos-tilities against Israel. Syria, of course, isone of the most notable state-sponsorsof terrorism.).

    The Beirut Declaration listed theArabs three principal expectationsfrom Israel:

    1. Withdraw from the Gaza Strip, theWest Bank, and the Golan Heights,back to 1967 borders.2. Resolve the Palestinian refugee prob-

    lem according to UN Resolution 194.3. Accept a Palestinian state with East

    Jerusalem as its capital.

    In return for Israels compliance, theArab states agreed to sign a peaceagreement with Israel, and achievepeace for all states in the region.

    Since the Roadmap for Peace wasconstructed from The Beirut Dec-laration, and since the Roadmap has

    Arab leaders meet with US President Bush at Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt inJune, 2005, to press for progress in Palestinian issues.

    PALESTINIAN ISSUES.

    HISTORy Of THE PAlESTINIANS

    MIDEAST WATCH

    There is no historical nation called

    Palestine. The Ottoman Turks ruled

    the region for four centuries before the

    British General Allenby took the city

    of Jerusalem on December 9, 1917.

    Ottoman rule ended at that time.

    On November 2, 1917, Britain

    issued the Balfour Declaration that

    said, His Majestys Government

    views with favor the establishment in

    Palestine of a national home for the

    Jewish people, and will use their best

    endeavors to facilitate the achieve-

    ment of this object, it being clearly

    understood that nothing shall be

    done which may prejudice the civiland religious rights of existing non-

    Jewish communities in Palestine,

    or the rights and political status en-

    joyed by Jews in any other country.

    At the end of World War I, it was

    determined that the peoples of that

    region were incapable of governing

    themselves and the Allied Powers

    gave Britain a Mandate to adminis-

    trate Palestine (Paris Peace Confer-

    ence of 1919, Treaty of Versailles).

    The concept of a National Jewish

    Home in Palestine as set forth in the

    Balfour Declaration was approved

    by the League of Nations Council on

    July 24, 1922, and endorsed by a

    joint resolution of the United States

    Congress on June 30, 1922. The

    World Zionist Organization was au-

    thorized to form the Jewish Agency

    in 1929, and Jewish immigration be-

    gan in earnest. The late King Abdul-

    lah was appointed by the British to

    govern Trans-Jordan, the eastern ter-

    ritory. The Churchill White Paper of1922 forbade Jewish settlement in

    Transjordan.

    The same British mandate that

    acknowledged Israels right to exist

    also acknowledged Palestines exis-

    tence as a legal entity. Subsequently,

    a Palestinian National Council was

    formed as a parliament in exile of

    the people forced out of their homes

    become such an important documentto the future of the world, it is onlynatural that we should ask: Who con-structed the Beirut Declaration? SaudiCrown Prince Abdullah presented theoriginal text to the Arab leaders, whothen adopted it with revisions.

    Signicantly, the Declaration itselfdid not attract the interest or supportof Western powers until Jordanian King

    Abdullah traveled to 10 Downing Streetin London on April 22, 2002, and talk-ed with Prime Minister Tony Blair. Thatsame day, the King called on the UnitedStates to assume its responsibilities andexert pressure on Israel to withdraw.The Roadmap for Peace would never

    have evolved into its present role if Jor-dans King had not effectively twistedthe arms of the West via Tony Blair andGeorge Bush on April 22nd. Interest-ingly, King Abdullah had just met withSaudi Crown Prince Abdullah the pre-

    vious day in Casablanca, Morocco.Three days later, on April 25th,

    President George Bush received SaudiCrown Prince Abdullah at his ranch inCrawford, Texas. At that meeting, Bushstated his hopes that our efforts canhelp return us to the path of peace.

    In less than sixty days, Bush deliv-ered a speech in the White House RoseGarden that set forth his vision fortwo states, living side by side in peaceand security. He announced that theUnited States and the European Unionplanned to work with the Arab statesand Palestinian leaders to implementchanges.

    On August 1, Jordans King Abdul-lah came to Washington and met withPresident Bush. Coincidentally, the

    president met the same day with Shi-mon Peres, Foreign Minister of Israel.

    American policy has since reected asignicant shift in favor of the Palestin-ian state.

    On September 17, 2002, at the annu-al UN General Assembly, members ofthe diplomatic Quartet on the MiddleEast outlined a three-phase roadmapto achieving two states, living side byside in peace and security the exact

    words Bush used almost ve monthsearlier. Javier Solana represented theEU, Colin Powell the US, Ko Annanthe UN, and Igor Ivanov the RussianFederation.

    On April 30, 2003, almost one yearexactly after the King of Jordan andthe Crown Prince of Saudi met withPresident Bush, the U.S. Departmentof State ofcially published the Road-map.

    wHAT IMPEllED jORDANS KINg

    TO CHAMPION THIS CAUSE?

    King Abdullah could have had severalmotives, not the least of which wastwo million Palestinian refugees that his

    relatively small state has been forced tosupport over the past fty years. Jordanhas absorbed more Palestinian refugeesthan any other locale except Gaza. Healso faces enormous pressure from his

    Arabic and Islamic brothers to pleadthe Palestinian cause to the West, due inlarge part to the high favor he enjoys inthe Western world.

    At this writing, Israel and the Pales-tinian Authority are being coerced intocompliance to the Roadmap by thefour major powers in the Quartet: theUnited Nations, the United States, theEuropean Union, and Russia.

    In a nutshell, the Roadmap is a strat-egy to dene the borders of Israel,resolve the right of return for Pales-tinians, settle the Jerusalem issue, anddetermine who will control the TempleMount. If the Roadmap is fully imple-mented, Israel will have given awaymore territory than anyone in the Westever expected. While many considerthis to be one of the absolute prerequi-

    sites to peace in the region, all Jews andChristians are aware that Israel will havegiven away almost half of the PromisedLand. That is an ominous prospect. Ifand when such a settlement occurs, the

    world will have to contend with GodAlmightys displeasure over the matter.Israels head has never been on such achopping block as this one. Its implica-tions are vast.

    since the United Nations divided

    the land to Israel and Palestine in

    1948.

    The PNC proposed a constitution

    in October of 1948, but it was never

    approved, and Palestinian political

    identity was mostly lost. In 1952,

    Jordan put forward a constitution for

    the West Bank. In 1955 and again in

    1962, Egypt attempted to put forth

    constitutional documents for the

    Gaza Strip. Although neither consti-

    tution was ratied, Jordan held de

    facto rule over the West Bank, and

    Egypt controlled Gaza.

    A 422-member PNC parliamentmet in 1964, adopting a national

    charter, which denied Israels right

    to exist. The Palestine Liberation

    Organization (PLO) was formed that

    year. There was no formal Palestin-

    ian identity until 1988 when the Pal-

    estinian National Council declared

    independence, pledging to form a

    democratic government and draft

    a constitution. Little progress was

    made until Israel and the Palestine

    Liberation Organization entered

    into the Oslo agreement, signed by

    Yitzak Rabin and Yasser Arafat with

    U.S. President Bill Clinton on Sep-

    tember 13, 1993. The Oslo Accords

    eventually failed. Clinton tried again

    with the Wye River Accords signed

    by Benjamin Netanyahu and Yasser

    Arafat. This also collapsed when Ariel

    Sharon visited the Temple Mount in

    September, 2000, sparking another

    round of intifada.

    Clinton took another major initia-

    tive at a summit with Ehud Barakand Yasser Arafat at Camp David in

    2000. Despite numerous conces-

    sions offered by Israel, Arafat walked

    away and was perceived as the spoil-

    er in those negotiations.

    Since that time, the Quartet and

    its Roadmap have taken precedence

    over all other venues for negotiating

    Middle East peace.
