Lots to talk about part I.

The full court press appears to be on from our government for the resumption of Mid-East peace talks. The most recent development comes in the form of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas agreeing to the U.S.'s plan for indirect negotiations with Israel. See the following article for details.

I find it very interesting that as our government is pressing so hard for a Mid-East peace agreement, one that will almost certainly negatively impact Israel, that our nation's capital is being hit by one of the worst snow storms it has ever seen. Many would say there is no connection between the two, and that anyone who would suggest that a connection exists is crazy. However, before making any such judgments I would recommend reading the following book by Bill Koenig.

There are few books outside of the Bible I would call a "must read" for Christians, but this is one. I will warn you it is a bit of a slow read, but the information is worth it.

I have copied from the link above and pasted below what is written on the back cover of the book.


Back Cover

What do these major-record setting events have in common?
The ten costliest insurance events in U.S. history
The twelve costliest hurricanes in U.S. history
Three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history
The two largest terrorism events in U.S. history
All of these major catastrophes and many others occurred or began on the very same day or within 24-hours of U.S. presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of peace and security, sponsoring major land for peace meetings, making major public statements pertaining to Israel's covenant land and /or calling for a Palestinian state.
Are each one of these major record-setting events just a coincidence or awe-inspiring signs that God is actively involved in the affairs of Israel? In this book, Bill Koenig provides undeniable facts and conclusive evidence showing that indeed the leaders of the United States and the world are on a collision course with God over Israel's covenant land.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem: Zechariah 12:9
