What Annapolis Really Means - Not to Just the 'Palestinians'

What Annapolis may actually portend, which see.

Isaiah 8:9) Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces. 10) Take counsel together (Annapolis), and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for Almighty God is with us. 11) For the LORD spoke thus to me (Isaiah) with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

12) Do not say, a confederacy, to all of them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.

13) Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. 14) And He will be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15) And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be ensnared, and be taken.

I Peter 2:6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on Him shall not be confounded. 7) Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8) And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

What are we discussing here but the circumstances by which the next page of world history unfolds. The Holy Scriptures mentioned here are only a few of the many that tell us what to expect.

The central and most dangerous aspect of Annapolis is that those who hold a hope that it might work have failed to realize that this is a situation like a nuclear reactor where the rods are pulled out and cannot be returned to control the impending consequences. Nothing less than the spoken Word of the LORD God Almighty is at stake here, and which if any are foolish to think that it will not be accomplished.

These are the very times spoken of by Jesus Christ in fulfillment of the Scriptures; they are happening before our very eyes. The current American administration has fallen into the delusion, like so many before, that humankind has a chance of world peace by solving the situation in Israel. It is not going to happen as the American Secretary of State desires, because that desire does not follow the promise to Israel.

No one will come away from Annapolis with anything good, not even as purported, the ‘Palestinians.' Annapolis merely sets in motion the events necessary for the LORD Himself to act on behalf of Israel. Read the Scriptures to find out how it happens, and more importantly, be ready when it does.
