"In a heated interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour last Thursday, Yassir Arafat may have very well revealed where the next conflict will begin ... The full interview was aired Sunday morning on CNN’s World News program, during which Arafat realized that he had slipped up and then abruptly ended the interview by pulling off his clip-on microphone. He then brusquely departed the interview cubicle surrounded by Palestinian staffers with very concerned looks on their faces. Something was said that should have not been said."

"During most of his interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour he skillfully deflected her questions with the usual pat answers ... Undaunted, Amanpour returned to the same issue of shared sovereignty from a completely different angle by asking Arafat if he would prolong the peace process. Amanpour asked, 'Would it be safer and better for you to extend this state of affairs that certain people would say is a sellout?” Arafat responded: '... I had mentioned and promised my people, my nation, my religions, the Christianity and Islam and I'm not going to betray them. I will continue to liberate all Islamic and Muslim holy places. If not (pointing to himself) another one will come along to liberate it'."

"At this point, Arafat’s body language took a pronounced shift. It was obvious that Amanpour’s determined efforts were annoying him. He shifted from his usual relaxed demeanor, and began leaning forward in his chair and began insistently pointing a finger at Amanpour ... by this time in the interview Amanpour was likewise becoming more intense if not personal. That was when she framed her next question with a simple statement that obviously inflamed Arafat. 'Your people want an economic future'.”

"The impact of this simple statement was obvious, Amanpour was essentially implying is that economics is the main objective for the majority of Palestinians. With that statement the tension between them rose another notch and Arafat said: 'We Palestinians our first targets is our land (the land of the holy places)'. At this point, Arafat leaned towards her and asked her if she knew what the holy places were, and after expressing several choppy thoughts suddenly leaned back in his chair and immediately changed his body language. The change was unmistakable. He obviously realized that he had said something that he would not have said, were he in control of the interview. He feigned a quick smile and announced that the interview was over. He then began pulling the clip-on microphone from his lapel and a very concerned Palestinian aide walked onto the set to help him undo the wireless microphone device." He left without saying "goodbye", leaving a very shocked Amanpour.

Yassir Arafat is an accomplished public speaker and has an excellent command of the English language {Ibid.], so it is highly unlikely he would fail to understand the meaning of words, he uses when speaking English, even implied meanings.

But, Arafat also possesses another deep, dark secret, which it looks as though he may have let slip out of the bag here; he knows the exact military and paramilitary plan by which the Arabs are going to attack Israel in the not-too-distant future! When I was in Army Intelligence, we were constantly reminded to always be on an active, strong defensive mental posture so that we would not accidentally reveal secret material in casual conversation with a person not properly cleared to receive it.

I believe it highly likely that Arafat has accidentally let slip two (2) very important parts of the Illuminati Plan to produce Antichrist. Once he realized how badly he slipped up, he abruptly and rudely terminated the interview. The very next day, on Friday, September 8, Arafat was suddenly on a plane, heading back to Gaza. The Illuminati must have been absolutely furious with him over his gaffe.

Let us now examine this most important interview.

The first thing that caught my eye was his statement "I had mentioned and promised my people, my nation, my religions, the Christianity and Islam and I'm not going to betray them. I will continue to liberate all Islamic and Muslim holy places. If not (pointing to himself) another one will come along to liberate it." I bet you did not know that Arafat was fighting on your behalf to "liberate" Jerusalem and the Holy Places, did you? At first glance, I thought Arafat was simply claiming that he was working on behalf of the Christians, even though not one thinking Christian in the world would share that view.

But, then, my heart stopped as I re-read the last phrase of this sentence: Arafat said that, if he could not liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Places from Jewish control, "... another one will come along to liberate it." We Born Again, Bible-believing Christians ARE expecting "another one" to soon be on the world scene, do we not? We do, and even though He will call himself "The Christ", we know he will be Antichrist. Arafat knows Antichrist is coming, and he considers him to be his ally in the struggle against the Jews!

This statement confirms that, when Antichrist will arise, he will appear to be working for the Arabs, and that Arabs will believe that to be true. He will claim to be Mohammed returned, and Arabs will believe him, even though he is also claiming to be the Jewish Messiah, and deliberately acting to "fulfill" all Old Testament Messianic prophecies. How Antichrist will accomplish this huge task is answered in Paul's statement, "Therefore, God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error, and a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false." [2 Thessalonians 2:11] Many Bible teachers believe this statement means that anyone who refused to be saved before the Rapture will have this "strong delusion" come upon them, so they cannot be saved; however, I have never believed that interpretation because the context of this verse is Antichrist and his followers. God's strong delusion will be to New Age types who have long worked and meditated for Antichrist's appearance. However, God may also send such a strong delusion to groups of people who have long resisted His Gospel and long hated His Chosen People, the Jews.

However, as interesting as this revelation seems to be that Arafat is looking to the time when "another one", possibly Antichrist, would come on the scene to accomplish what he could not, his next gaffe is really serious and is probably the one that got him on that plane the very next day. Arafat seemed incensed that anyone could believe the Palestinians are driven by mere economic reasons, for their battle against Israel is more fundamentally religious than the huge majority of the people of the world can believe. Arafat wants people to know that their hatred toward Israel is religiously based. He said:

“We Palestinians [pause] our first targets is our land -- the land of the holy places.”

Wow!! Did you catch the import of this statement? First of all, Arafat admitted that his military has targets planned for destruction, a statement that clearly reveals his plans of WAR against Israel!! But, secondly, Arafat reveals that the very first targets against which Palestinians would train their guns are the Muslim Holy Places! Certainly, if the Dome of the Rock were reduced to a pile of rubble, Arabs all over the world would want to blame Israel and would do so gladly if the Palestinians disavowed responsibility and blamed the Jews first. Instantly, in the "twinkling of an eye", one billion Arabs would be screaming blood for those poor, 6 million Jews. One billion to 6 million -- and the Israelites will win again! God's glory is truly about to be revealed to the world.

While the world waits and frets about the possibility of a war breaking out if and when Arafat will unilaterally declare Palestinian Statehood, the easiest, and most surefire, way in which to start all-out war between Israel and all the Arab nations would be the destruction of the Arab Dome of the Rock! Tens of millions of outraged Arabs all throughout the Middle East would fill the streets of all the major Arab cities, demanding their governments intervene militarily to right this outrageous wrong! And, Arafat would be able to deny any responsibility or knowledge of the attack, even though his provocateurs had carried out the bombing.

Then, the scenario of the Palestinians starting this war by attacking Israel strongly from within would begin to unfold. As Israel moved military forces toward the inner part of Israel to deal with the Palestinian "Police Force" now trained in military strategies and armed with anti-tank and antiaircraft weapons, the regular armies of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt will attack with full force...

Illuminist author, Peter Lemesurier, wrote a very interesting book in which he devotes the last 15% of his book to describing -- in great detail -- how the coming Antichrist is going to deceive the Jews into thinking that he is their Messiah. Listen to what he says:

"If the Messiah is to appear, then he must be produced. And producing the Messiah ... is just as much a function of humanity as of Divinity ... There are doubtless many Jews ... who will be willing to regard him as their long-awaited Messiah. Some Muslims may take a similar view ... it may be possible for the New David to ride into Jerusalem in all his resplendent majesty. Note the word 'ride' ... on a donkey as predicted in Zechariah 9:9 ... it would seem advisable for the new Messiah to repeat it, donkey and all ... The processional route will, of course, lie directly across the Kidron ravine, as close as possible to the Temple Mount ... he must be duly enthroned and anointed with oil (in token of Psalm 45:6-7) amid the rubble of the dome of the Rock ..." [The Armageddon Script , p. 233-35] ........

At this point, you might ask, "why would Arafat allow himself to be a party to destroying Islam's third most holy site"? This is a very good question, and when you comprehend the answer, you will be amazed as to how conditioned the masses of the Arabs have been over the years.

Arafat knows a little religious fact that 95 percent of all Arabs in the general population do not know: the real sacred books of Islam do not consider either Jerusalem or the Temple Mount to be sacred! The average Arab has been lied to by his own leadership. Someone in high authority wants the average Arab to believe that Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are holy to the Arab. If they believe this lie, then they will be easily angered to a point of boiling when the Dome of the Rock is blown up, and they are told the Jews did it! How easy it is many times to begin a major war.

Gershon Salomon, founder of the Temple Mount Faithful , puts this situation in an understandable light. "In the Islamic holy books and their history, Jerusalem is not even mentioned one time,' said Salomon, noting that the Quran did not reference Jerusalem. 'Even in the years when Jordan controlled, they could have made Jerusalem a Palestinian capital but they did not. I believe Jerusalem has no meaning for them except they understand the great meaning of this city to Jews, to Christians, to the people of the book and all the world, and they want to use it." ["Coming War In Israel", by Christopher Knight, The Tribune]

So Yassir Arafat knows something 95% of all Arabs do not know -- Jerusalem and its Holy Places are not holy to fundamental Islam. He knows he can participate in the destruction of the Dome of the Rock because it is a lie that Jerusalem is really holy to Islam.

Even if this were not the case, Arafat would take the bait to destroy the Dome of the Rock on the premise that this would ignite the war that would annihilate his most hated enemy, the Jew. Arafat is one of the current leadership of Arabs who is totally consumed with a hatred of Israel and the Jew. This hatred has gotten so consuming we have Arab governments even denying Hitler's Holocaust.

At this point, you might say that all this is very well and good, and makes for some exciting reading, but End Times events are all controlled by Scripture. You would be well within your right to demand a look at prophecy to see if this scenario is called for; if this is your reaction, as a noble Berean, be prepared to be shocked...

After speaking of the coming judgment to destroy the House of Esau, God then turns His attention to the fact that one of the effects of this judgment will be to return Mount Zion [Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount] to the control of the Jew, and its return to Holiness! Certainly, as long as the Muslim Dome of the Rock remains standing on that ground, God cannot consider His Holy Place, the Temple Mount, to be holy. After all, the Muslim religion is a false religion, and one that rejects Jesus Christ as THE Son of God, the Messiah of the Jews.

..Therefore, we can only conclude that our scenario of planned events in the war to produce Antichrist is right on target. These are the major steps, as we see them:

1. Palestinian government provocateurs blow up the Dome of the Rock , blaming the Jews.

2. Immediately, Arabs all over the world are outraged, and they demand Holy War [Jihad] against the Jews. Palestinian "police forces" attack targets within Israel

3. As Israeli army units are drawn into the center of the country to deal with this serious armed threat, the combined forces of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt join the war. After launching a barrage of missiles at Israel, some of whom will contain unconventional warheads [Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical], these combined armies will attack Israel from all directions. [NOTE: At this point, God will fulfill His End Times promise to Israel in Daniel 12:1: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people..." When the Old Testament refers to a supernatural being "standing up", it means that he is ready to take action. Therefore, events will look so bad that Michael the Archangel will "stand up" to personally defend Israel.]

4. After Israel annihilates the Palestinians, and devastates the armies of Syria, Egypt, and Jordan to such a degree that their governments fall, then the Israeli Army will expand out to "possess its own former possessions", which means they will occupy all the land God promised to Abraham. This land includes all of Lebanon, most of Syria, two-thirds of Jordan, and the Negev Desert.

5. In the beginning of this conflict, the participants will expand to include the forces of Russia and America, both of whom will rush forces to the region. America backs Israel, while Russia backs the Arab. Further, the Arab nations of OPEC will announce another Oil Embargo...

This gaffe by Arafat makes this entire scenario extremely plausible, and seemingly very close. When will it occur? We do not know, but we know that it is very close. The timing of all things seem to be rushing to a conclusion sooner than later. We can have faith in God Who said:

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end fulfillment; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait earnestly for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day." [Habakkuk 2:3; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

Jesus promised us we shall know the approximate time of the End of the Age [Matthew 24:32]. We see all the prophesies coming together and we can further see that the New World Order Plan [which itself parallels prophecy] is getting very close to fulfillment, including hints from Clinton that he will not have to leave office.

If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have nothing eternal to fear,  for your place in Heaven is as certain as if you were already there; however, if you are not saved, you have every reason to be terrified, because the judgment of all things is exceedingly close. Please do not fight the prompting of the Holy Spirit any longer for the time for repentance is speeding by quickly. Listen to God's pleading:

"The time for repentance is speeding by like chaff whirled before the wind. Therefore, consider, before God's decree brings forth the curse upon you, before the time to repent is gone like the drifting chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you -- yes, before the day of the wrath of the Lord comes upon you." [Zephaniah 2:2; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

Truly, the coming of Antichrist is close!
