"Remove Arafat...."
Barbara Richmond reports tonight "The full Israeli government has convened late tonight to finalize its decision on a large-scale military operation to stop Palestinian terror after being informed that a fresh Palestinian suicide offensive is underway. There are widespread demands throughout Israel for the government to liquidate the Palestinian Authority and REMOVE ARAFAT. (Emphasis supplied.)
Remember those last two highlighted words REMOVE ARAFAT. Now recall my e-mail and post of August, 2001 about the New Zealand pastor's reported visitation from the Lord. Here is an excerpt
"A reliable source told me of a pastor in New Zealand, with whom he has communicated, who had a vision and visitation from the Lord in November 2000. The Lord appeared to the pastor in the middle of the night and spoke to him, saying that He was coming 'very, very soon.' The pastor asked for a sign, and the Lord replied that the last sign before the rapture is that ARAFAT WILL BE REMOVED. As I have the story, the Lord did not say how Arafat will be removed, whether by natural causes or by assassination (by his own people or Israel) -- just that he will be removed.... My 'reliable source' is an orthodontist, Messianic Jew and long-time Bible prophecy teacher."
LATER REPORT I was able to confirm this story later, with the added clarification from the pastor that after Arafat's removal there will be a period of time (undetermined length) of turmoil and chaos among the Palestinians, and during that turmoil the rapture will occur, according to this pastor's revelation. (The undetermined period of time could obviously be hours, days or weeks.)
Keep watching.
