MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Not sure if there is any significance to the fact that the very next day after the UN vote on Palestinian ‘independence’  — September 21, 2011 — is also the International Day of Peace, but the timing of the vote is a bit interesting …

Update 9/19/2011: The vote seems to have been pushed to September 23rd, 2011.  I’ve also included another item worthy of attention, which is the fact that the Palestinian Authority will demand enforcement of UN Resolution 377, even if the United States vetoes Palestinian membership.  UN Resolution 377 states that if the Security Council fails to act to maintain world “peace and security”, the General Assembly could then consider the matter in an emergency session, which can be called at the request of a majority of UN member states …

1 Thessalonians 5:3, “While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”

By JOSEF FEDERMAN – “JERUSALEM (AP) — Rising tensions with some of its closest and most important allies have left Israel increasingly isolated ahead of a momentous vote on Palestinian independence at the United Nations.

Troubles with Turkey, Egypt and even the U.S. are adding to Israel’s headaches ahead of the vote, which is shaping up to be a global expression of discontent against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Palestinians plan to ask the United Nations this month to recognize their independence in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war — probably by embracing them as a ‘nonmember observer state.’ The measure is expected to pass overwhelmingly in the U.N. General Assembly.” Read more.

Flashback: PA will demand enforcement of General Assembly ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution even if US vetoes – “PLO official Saeb Erekat has said Palestinians would activate UN resolution 377 if faced with a US veto in September. The ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution states that if the Security Council fails to act to maintain world peace and security, the General Assembly should consider the matter in an emergency session. The session can be called at the request of seven members of the Security Council or by a majority of UN member states. Following a widespread diplomatic campaign, some 112 countries have recognized Palestine as an independent state and more are expected to do so in coming weeks. Palestinians would need the support of 129 countries to implement Resolution 377 and secure a General Assembly vote on UN membership.” Read more.

Flashback: Palestinians Plan Mass Demonstrations Against Israel on September 20 – “Palestinian officials said Monday they plan to begin mass marches against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank on September 20 … Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo said leaders hope to attract millions, and the protest will be the first of a prolonged effort. He said the campaign would be called ‘Palestine 194,’ since the Palestinians hope to become the 194th member of the United Nations. ‘The appeal to the UN is a battle for all Palestinians, and in order to succeed, it needs millions to pour into streets,’ he said.” Read more.

Settler security chief: September infiltrators will be shot – “Palestinians who try to force their way into West Bank settlements during the mass protests in favor of statehood anticipated for September 20 ‘will be shot,’ chief settler security officer Shlomo Vaknin told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. The protests are expected to accompany the Palestinian unilateral bid for recognition of statehood at the United Nations… This statement is backed up by an opinion issued by the Attorney-General’s Office for Judea and Samaria, signed by its Eyal Elad, who is tasked with human rights issues regarding the IDF.” Read more.
