On June 9, 2009, Israeli News website, Haaretz.com reported that President Obama had announced his plan to bring a two-state solution to the current hostility between Israel and their Arab neighbors, thereby bringing a much needed peace to the region no later than 2011. Interestingly enough, a little over a week later, Tony Blair, envoy for the Middle East Quartet (a position commisioned by the U.N., U.S., E.U., and Russia that is designed to facilitate peace in the Middle East) commented that peace was possible in that region "within the year". Is it a coincidence that two of the world's most prominent and influential leaders are calling for a peace plan in the very near future?
Both Barack Obama and Tony Blair have the "credentials" and the political weight to follow through and complete this peace plan. Obama has been singled out by former US Secretary of State and member of the Bilderberg group, Henry Kissinger, as the leader who is primed to create a new world order. Additionally, on the campaign trail, Obama was often likened to a saviour/christlike figure that would bring our country salvation from the horrible evils of the Bush administration. Many people had not only given him the title of President of the United States but they had even ventured to proclaim him President of the World and all of this before he had ever been elected! His charisma and his magnetic speech making ability have been able to capture not only the attention of U.S. citizens but the citizens of the whole world. Finally, with President Obama's ability to push through some of the largest and most controversial legislation within his first several months of his presidency leaves little room for doubt that he has the wherewithal to push through a peace deal between Israel and their arab neighbors.
Former Prime Minister of the U.K., Tony Blair, although not as ubiquitous as Barack Obama, still has credentials in his own right. He has been credited with helping to negotiate the peace plan in Northern Ireland in the mid-1990's, that ended a decades long war. In addition to being selected as the Middle East Quartet's envoy to bring peace to the Middle East region, his name has been tossed around as a candidate to lead the European Union as its permanent president. Many prophecy scholars believe that the E.U. is the Revived Roman Empire, prophesied in Daniel 2 &7 from which the Anti-Christ will consolidate his power.
With all this current talk about peace, it's beginning to look like the white horseman of the apocalypse (Revelation 6:2) may be riding into town bringing with it its psuedo-peace. Will this peace plan take the shape of the Antichrist's "covenant with many" as Daniel 9:27 prophesies? More than any other time in history, it's possible that this may be the peace deal in which the world rejoices and exclaims "peace, peace" not realizing that sudden destruction is quickly approaching (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Are you ready?
