The Stage Is Being Set (September 25, 2009)

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 1. Thessalonians 5:1-3 NKJV

In his first address to the United Nations General Assembly, US President Barack Obama said among other things that:

“The time has come for the world to move in a new direction. We must embrace a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and respect, and our work must begin now.”

Obama also said that he would "continue to seek a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East between Israel, Palestine and the Arab world".

That includes, as Obama says, a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that results in two states—Israel and Palestine—in which both the Israeli people and the Palestinian people can live in peace and security and realize their aspirations for a better life for their children.

President Obama insisted that peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians should restart “without preconditions.” At the same time, Obama is pressing Israel to stop building settlements on the land that God has given them.

Just a year ago, while on the campaign trail, Barack Obama said the opposite of what he is saying now to a cheering crowd about the Israeli- Palestinian conflict:

"Any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized, defensible borders. And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and must remain undivided."

President Barack Obama is being praised by dictators and murderers like Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez from Venezuela, and at the United Nations by the Libyan terrorist leader Muammar Gaddafi who spoke about Obama as being "our son" and "our Obama," and saying: "The election of Obama is the beginning of change." "We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as the president."

The stage is being set for a new world order that proclaims a false humanistic peace and security.

They were lying prophets who claimed peace would come to Jerusalem when there was no peace. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!' Ezekiel 13:16 NLT

But we as believers know that; God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 1. Thessalonians 5:9-10 NKJV
