Obama's Israel Trip March 2013 Post # 1 - Christian View Daniel 9 ? Revelation 13-20 Soon?

(From: White House AFP image)



I have read conflicting things about Obama's trip to Israel. I have read about conflicting views about Obama from the people in Israel and neighboring Palestine.

Rockets fired on Southern Israel before Obama's arrival at West Bank:

Obama does not support building settlements in Israel and recommends direct negotians between Palestine and Israel to have separate states.

 Obama's peace talks... similar to the scripture Daniel 9? Interruption in the traditional animal lamb sacrifice for Passover also occurred - though I don't think this was done by Obama this is just interesting what happened at this particular timeframe:

Biblical reference - possibly prophetic happenings 

Daniel 9:23-27 KJV (Listen to Daniel 9)
²³ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
²⁵ Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
²⁶ And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
²⁷ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Obama receives mixed views in Israel and I believe the Prime Minister Netanyahu would like to see more help from the US about the pending Iran threat. US president Obama might be putting pressure on Netanyahu to hold off about Iran - though news claims not putting pressure I think I also read. Obama speaks to college kids, visiting the Iron Dome which reminds the Jewish country that the US is the funding and backing their defense. Palestine mostly not in favor of Obama. Obama addresses he is not in agreement with Israel settlements being built, he believes peace negotiations for separate states will be the way peace can be achieved. Obama against any chemical warfare or unjust actions in Syria.

 We will see what comes from this visit and it will be a wait.

Some interesting thoughts ...

I didn't realize Obama's limo he calls The Cadillac One, secret service agents refer to as "The Beast". Well "The Beast" broke down in Israel (Obama rode another vehicle).

More News:
Some of the text from Obama's speech in Israel March 21, 2013 at the Jerusalem Convention Center:

"Today, I want to tell you – particularly the young people – that so long as there is a United States of America, Ah-tem lo lah-vahd.
The question, then, is what kind of future Israel will look forward to. And that brings me to the subject of peace.

I know Israel has taken risks for peace. Brave leaders – Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Rabin –reached treaties with two of your neighbors. You made credible proposals to the Palestinians at Annapolis. You withdrew from Gaza and Lebanon, and then faced terror and rockets. Across the region, you have extended a hand of friendship, and too often have been confronted with the ugly reality of anti-Semitism. So I believe that the Israeli people do want peace, and you have every right to be skeptical that it can be achieved.

But today, Israel is at a crossroads. It can be tempting to put aside the frustrations and sacrifices that come with the pursuit of peace – particularly when an Iron Dome repels rockets, barriers keep out suicide bombers, and so many other pressing issues demand your attention. And I know that only Israelis can make the fundamental decisions about your country’s future.

I also know that not everyone in this hall will agree with what I have to say about peace. I recognize that there are those who are not simply skeptical about peace, but question its underlying premise, and that’s a part of democracy and the discourse between our two countries. But it is important to be open and honest with one another. Politically, given the strong bipartisan support for Israel in America, the easiest thing for me to do would be to put this issue aside, and express unconditional support for whatever Israel decides to do. But I want you to know that I speak to you as a friend who is deeply concerned and committed to your future, and I ask you to consider three points.

First, peace is necessary. Indeed, it is the only path to true security. You can be the generation that permanently secures the Zionist dream, or you can face a growing challenge to its future. Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine. Given the frustration in the international community, Israel must reverse an undertow of isolation. And given the march of technology, the only way to truly protect the Israeli people is through the absence of war – because no wall is high enough, and no Iron Dome is strong enough, to stop every enemy from inflicting harm.

This truth is more pronounced given the changes sweeping the Arab World. I recognize that with the uncertainty in the region – people in the streets, changes in leadership, the rise of non-secular parties in politics –it is tempting to turn inward. But this is precisely the time to respond to the wave of revolution with a resolve for peace. As more governments respond to popular will, the days when Israel could seek peace with a handful of autocratic leaders are over. Peace must be made among peoples, not just governments. No one step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and minds of millions. But progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and division.

Second, peace is just. There is no question that Israel has faced Palestinian factions who turned to terror, and leaders who missed historic opportunities. That is why security must be at the center of any agreement. And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiation. That is why, despite the criticism we’ve received, the United States will oppose unilateral efforts to bypass negotiations through the United Nations.

But the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and justice must also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes – look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of her parents every single day. It is not just when settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished.  It is not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; to restrict a student’s ability to move around the West Bank; or to displace Palestinian families from their home. Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land.

Only you can determine what kind of democracy you will have. But remember that as you make these decisions, you will define not simply the future of your relationship with the Palestinians – you will define the future of Israel as well. As Ariel Sharon said, “It is impossible to have a Jewish, democratic state and at the same time to control all of Eretz Israel. If we insist on fulfilling the dream in its entirety, we are liable to lose it all.” Or, from a different perspective, think of what David Grossman said shortly after losing his son, as he described the necessity of peace – “a peace of no choice” he said, “must be approached with the same determination and creativity as one approaches a war of no choice.”

Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad. Over the last few years, they have built institutions and maintained security on the West Bank in ways that few would have imagined a decade ago. So many Palestinians – including young people – have rejected violence as a means of achieving their aspirations.

Which leads to my third point: peace is possible. I know it doesn’t seem that way. There will always be a reason to avoid risk, and there’s a cost for failure. There will always be extremists who provide an excuse to not act. And there is something exhausting about endless talks about talks; the daily controversies, and grinding status quo.

Negotiations will be necessary, but there is little secret about where they must lead – two states for two peoples. There will be differences about how to get there, and hard choices along the way. Arab States must adapt to a world that has changed. The days when they could condemn Israel to distract their people from a lack of opportunity are over. Now is the time for the Arab World to take steps toward normalized relations with Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians must recognize that Israel will be a Jewish state, and that Israelis have the right to insist upon their security. Israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace, and that an independent Palestine must be viable– that real borders will have to be drawn. I’ve suggested principles on territory and security that I believe can be the basis for talks. But for the moment, put aside the plans and process. I ask you, instead, to think about what can be done to build trust between people. ..."

Some other interesting thoughts I've had - I'm just mentioning and I mean no offense to the White House, Obama, or America.

White House = White Horse? (Revelation scripture reference.) Just a thought, I don't know.

I heard someone on youtube say abomination and I thought with a little laugh... I thought someone said obamanation yet it was actually abomination. Obama + nation, sounds like = abomination.

Healthcare Obamacare I have read will require a mark for healthcare? = 666 Warning.

I don't follow numerology or Christian numerology either but found this to be interesting:
About the Mark of the Beast: http://www.ridingthebeast.com/articles/epi-charagma-chi-xi-stigma
Besides the implant identification chip (RFID chip) There is also even newer technology now that is a small stick on tattoo like chip that is to be placed on the forehead or inner wrists. These can easily be the Mark of the Beast and easily hold within it the number of the beast 666.

Listen to Revelation chapters 13-21 be safe in this end time. http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/kjv/Rev.13

Revelation 13 
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I do not think Obama is the AntiChrist... maybe someone significant in end times prophecy, false prophet? I'm only stating some thoughts and research that are possibly being fulfilled or close to being fulfilled prophecies are revealing end times. I am also an American and pray for God to bless America and Israel. God to bless all nations of the earth. I pray for God's blessing, guidance and help for all people on earth, and all that is bad, all that is evil to end. Peace, true peace to happen. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

Do not worry or fear for end times because no matter the tribulation if you believe in Jesus Christ and do not reject Jesus Christ - you will be saved. Do not - Do not, take any mark! OK!!? The bible declares damnation to any who take the mark, those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.

Rejoice in this good news... Revelation 21 and Daniel 12. = PEACE
