Image: The 1991 "Perfect Storm"
Over the past 22 years there has been an amazing correlation between the efforts of the international community, spearheaded by the United States of America to remove parts of the Promised Land from the Jewish people in the name of peace, and the sudden destruction that has followed. Consider the following 13 examples detailed by William R. Koenig and John McTernan in their books Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel, and As America has Done to Israel, as well as David Brennan in his books Israel Omen and Israel Omen II.
1. The Perfect Storm President George H.W. Bush Sr. became famous for his speeches about a “New World Order.” He was also the first US president to introduce the concept of “land for peace,” to the conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors, meaning that if Israel will only cede some of the Land that has been deeded to them forever by Almighty God to their Arab enemies, there will be peace in the Middle East. This concept formed the basis for the Madrid Peace Conference in October 1991 that he arranged. It was the first time in history that Israeli and Palestinian leaders came together to talk peace.
On October 30, just as the conference began, what has been called “The Perfect Storm,” and dubbed by scientists as “a freak of nature” took place over the Atlantic Ocean, as three different storms joined together, reversed their path and then slammed into the coast of New England. One of the properties that were severely damaged was President Bush’s private summer residence Kennebunkport, Maine. While the president delivered the introductory speech at the Madrid conference, 30 feet high waves engulfed his home and flushed his expensive furniture out into the sea. The storm caused damages for an estimated $1 billion.
2. Hurricane Andrew On August 24 the following year, a follow up meeting to the Madrid Conference was held in Washington DC. The object was the same: making peace by forcing Israel to give up parts of the Promised Land. That very night hurricane Andrew hit the coast of Florida, becoming the most costly hurricane in US history up to that point, with damages for approximately $30 billion.
3. The Great Flood of 1993 By this time Israel had elected a new government headed by Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. As opposed to his predecessor Yitzchak Shamir, Rabin bowed to US pressure of land for peace and began secret negotiations with the PLO. From April to August 1993, coinciding exactly with the secret negotiations that would lead to the infamous Oslo Accords, the “Great Flood of 1993” hit the US Midwest, causing damage for an estimated $15 billion. A flood of this magnitude occurs only once in about 500 years.
4. The Northbridge Earthquake After the “success” of the Oslo Accords, President Clinton decided to meet with President Assad of Syria in Geneva Switzerland, in order to promote peace. After this meeting on January 16, 1994, Clinton contacted Prime Minister Rabin, who then announced on January 18 that he was willing to give up the Golan Heights to Syria in order to make peace. The preceding day, January 17, while President Clinton was pressuring Prime Minister Rabin to give up the Golan Heights for peace, the Northbridge Earthquake, the highest instrumentally recorded earthquake in an urban area in North American history struck California. It was the second most costly natural disaster in U.S. history at that time, killing 57 people and causing damages for $25 billion.
5. Tropical Storm Allison On June 5, 2001 President Bush Jr. suddenly changed his political course of strong support for Israel and sent CIA Director George Tenet to the Middle East in order to revive the stalled “peace process,,” by implementing the so-called Mitchell Report. The same day that President Bush Jr made that announcement, a “mystery storm” called Tropical Storm Allison formed completely unannounced off the coast of Texas. Meteorologists called Allison “the nation’s worst tropical storm” ever. It caused flooding and a deluge of historical proportions to President Bush’s home state with damages for $5 billion.
6. September 11 A few weeks after President Bush sent George Tenet to the Middle East, he made a promise to the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. that he would arrange a major media event in September, where he would be the first president in US history to publically endorse the formation of a Palestinian state. Neither President Clinton, nor Prime Minister Rabin had ever talked about a Palestinian state in the Oslo Accords. This was a major new step.
The “big rollout” was planned to take place sometime during the week of September 10, 2001, possibly in the morning of September 11. That very morning the worst terrorist attack up to that point in US history took place, causing the death of at least 3,000 people and damages for an estimated $843 billion!
7. “The worst weather in U.S. history” After this devastating setback it took almost two years until the next initiative to remove the Promised Land from the Jewish people took place. This time President Bush established the so-called Quartet consisting of USA, EU, Russia and the UN, in order to force Israel to give up part of their God given inheritance. On April 30, 2003 President Bush summed up the Quartet’s demands on Israel in a White House Rose Garden speech with the following words, “The government of Israel, as the terror threat is removed and the security improves, must take steps to support the emergence of a viable and credible Palestinian state… settlement activity in occupied territories must end.”
The very same day, what would later be called “the worst weather in U.S. history” began, as a total of twenty-one tornadoes struck seven states. Before it was over a month later, a total of 562 tornadoes and 1,587 hailstorms had hit the United States causing damages for an estimated $5 billion.
8. The European Heat Wave Interestingly, just as this severe weather ended, a heat wave of historic and staggering proportions began in Europe in June, 2003, as the EU was now also actively involved in removing the Promised Land from the Jewish people. When the heat wave finally ended three months later, the death toll had reached 52 000 people, making it one of the worst climate related disasters in Western history! The estimated cost from the devastation ranged between $10-20 billion.
9. Hurricane Katrina On August 23, 2005, the same day that the government of Israel announced that the forced removal of all Jews from the Gaza strip had been completed, the US National Weather Service noticed a tropical depression that would later be called Hurricane Katrina. 1.1 million people had to leave their homes in New Orleans and the hurricane caused damages for $165 billion and the deaths of at least 1,833 people.
10. The Global Financial Crisis Two years after the devastating Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and the Quartet initiated the next move to remove the Promised Land from the Jewish people. On July 23, 2007, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Quartet’s newly appointed envoy, was dispatched to the Middle East for the first time in order to revive President Bush’s Road Map to peace. In his farewell speech Blair stated, “The absolute priority is to try to give effect to what is now the consensus across the international community – that the only way of bringing stability and peace to the Middle East is a two-state solution.”
The same week that Blair was dispatched to the Middle East, a crisis in the international banking system started, as the risk premium in lending between international banks suddenly jumped over 50%. Over the next months the instability steadily increased until it erupted in the global financial meltdown in October 2008. The estimated cost of this financial crises, which was the worst since 1929, was a staggering $10.2 trillion. Notice Blair’s words about the so-called “two-state solution” now being “the consensus across the international community.” The financial crisis in 2008 affected not only the U.S. but also basically every nation in the world. Interestingly Israel was one of the least affected nations.
11. The Iceland Volcano On April 14, 2010 the Advertising Standard Authority in Great Britain announced that since the Old City in Jerusalem is considered occupied territory, the government of Israel is not allowed to use pictures of the Western Wall in Jerusalem in their advertisements in Great Britain, in order to draw tourists to Israel. The very same day the volcano Eyjafjallajokull on Island erupted, spewing out 250 million cubic meters of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, causing a halt to all air traffic in and out of Britain as well as many other parts of Europe beginning the next day. The loss in tourism income to Britain alone amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars.
12. The Gulf Oil Rig Disaster Later on in April, 2010 President Obama was finally able to force the Prime Minister of Israel to halt all building in what is often called Eastern Jerusalem, which in reality is biblical Jerusalem. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision was informal and was denied publically in order to avoid domestic criticism, but it was confirmed by several media reports as well as by indirect statements from the U.S. State Department. As a result of this unprecedented breakthrough for the Obama Administration to wrest control of Jerusalem away from the Jewish people, George Mitchell was dispatched on April 21 to the Middle East in an effort to jump start peace talks again.
However, the evening before, on April 20 another major catastrophe of historic proportions took place in the United States. British Petroleum’s oilrig “Deepwater Horizon” exploded in the Gulf of Mexico causing one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history that eventually cost $32-40 billion in damages.
13. The Worst Tornado Rampage In U.S. History In the spring of 2011 came President Obama’s next major move against Israel, when he publically declared that Israel’s negotiations with the Palestinians must be based on the indefensible pre 1967 borders. This came as a shock to most observers and Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately rejected it as unacceptable for Israel.
President Obama made this historic declaration in a speech on May 19, as Prime Minister Netanyahu was on board his airplane over the Atlantic on his way to America. The decision to take this unprecedented step must, however, have been made sometime before that since the State Department as well as others in the President’s staff had to be informed first of his new policy. Brennan makes the observation in his book Israel Omen II that on April 6 George Mitchell, the United States’ most experienced point man to the Middle East since the Clinton era, handed in his resignation to President Obama. Brennan deduces that Mitchell resigned because Obama’s new policy would make his task as mediator between Israel and the Palestinians impossible.
Two days before Mitchell’s resignation, on April 4, the worst tornado rampage in US recorded history began. During the month of April, 2011 an all time record of 875 tornados caused damages for $26 billion. During four days alone, between April 25-28, 327 confirmed tornados killed 344 people and caused damages for $10 billion.
When Pharaoh refused to let the children of Israel go to the Promised Land, his advisers finally told him, “Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?” (Ex 10:7)
It is also written in Zechariah, “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” (Zec 12:2-3)
Jerusalem is the place where empires die. All who come against God’s plan for His City will hurt themselves. When Great Britain worked against the Jewish people having their own state, it only took a few years for Britain to loose its position as a world power.
Since President Obama forced Israel into negotiating peace with the Palestinians this summer by agreeing to release condemned terrorists with blood on their hands, the United States has just in a matter of months lost its standing in the Middle East as a world power. Saudi Arabia as well as Egypt have lost their trust in the United States and are now beginning to align themselves instead with Russia. A recent poll shows that for the first time in history, the President of Russia is now considered the most powerful leader in the world with the President of the United States taking second place. God has said about Israel, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse.” (Ge 12:3)
