This update includes more information than the
United States
interfering with Gods prophetic plan for
Israel
. Several of the disasters that I report in this update had a second component. On several dates, homosexual events occurred simultaneously with events in
Israel
; therefore, I reported these events together. Also, in my first book Gods Final Warning to America, I reported these simultaneous events together.
I wrote As America Has Done To Israel, focusing just on
Israel
, because combining all the events made the book enormous. I combined
Israel
and homosexuality related events in this update so you have the total picture of what was happening in conjunction with these disasters.
July 2007
For several months, the President had little to say about
Israel
and his two-state peace plan. Then on Monday, July 16, he gave a short but highly significant speech. This speech became one of the turning points in the
United States of America
s relationship with the holy God of Israel. It ranks with the speech that George H. W. Bush gave on October 30, 1991 in
Madrid
,
Spain
. Monumental events soon followed this speech that would shake
America
to its core.
The President began the speech by stating he was the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. He referred to the Israeli control of the Palestinian areas as an occupation. He again called for two democratic states,
Israel
and
Palestine
. The entire speech can be viewed at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/200707167.html
The speech in part follows:
More than five years ago, I became the first American President to call for the creation of a Palestinian state. In the Rose Garden, I said that Palestinians should not have to live in poverty and occupation. I said that the Israelis should not have to live in terror and violence. And I laid out a new vision for the future -- two democratic states,
Israel
and
Palestine
, living side-by-side in peace and security.
The President then continued with some statements that are directly contrary to Gods prophetic word about the nation of
Israel
. He said that the Palestinian state needed to be contiguous. This meant that
Israel
must be divided because 30 miles separates
Gaza
from the
West Bank
. He wanted
Israel
cut in two so that Palestinians can have an unbroken state. He said
America
is prepared to lead the discussions to create such a state. Then he made the most dangerous statement: the final peace would involve
Jerusalem
. This meant the dividing of
Jerusalem
and making the eastern section the capital of a Palestinian state.
The speech in part follows:
These negotiations must resolve difficult questions and uphold clear principles. They must ensure that
Israel
is secure. They must guarantee that a Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. And they must lead to a territorial settlement, with mutually agreed borders reflecting previous lines and current realities, and mutually agreed adjustments.
America
is prepared to lead discussions to address these issues, but they must be resolved by Palestinians and Israelis, themselves. Resolving these issues would help show Palestinians a clear way forward. And ultimately, it could lead to a final peace in the Middle East -- a permanent end to the conflict, and an agreement on all the issues, including refugees and
Jerusalem
.
President Bush then stated that
Israel
has a clear path. This clear path was not to continue the occupation of the West Bank, but
Israel
s future lies in developing areas like the Negev and
Galilee
. For the second time, he used the terminology that
Israel
was occupying the
West Bank
. He called for removing the unauthorized outposts in the
West Bank
and the ending of settlement expansion.
This speech in part follows:
Israel
has a clear path. Prime Minister Olmert must continue to release Palestinian tax revenues to the government of Prime Minster Fayyad. Prime Minister Olmert has also made clear that Israel's future lies in developing areas like the Negev and Galilee -- not in continuing occupation of the West Bank. This is a reality that Prime Minister Sharon recognized, as well. So unauthorized outposts should be removed and settlement expansion ended. At the same time, Israelis should find other practical ways to reduce their footprint without reducing their security -- so they can help President Abbas improve economic and humanitarian conditions. They should be confident that the
United States
will never abandon its commitment to the security of
Israel
as a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people
He then called for an international conference in the fall for advancing the two-state solution. He said Secretary of State Rice would over see the two-state plan. The
United States
would take charge of creating a Palestinian state. He also called for the
United States
giving the Palestinians 190 million in new aid.
This section of the speech follows:
The world can do more to build the conditions for peace. So I will call together an international meeting this fall of representatives from nations that support a two-state solution, reject violence, recognize Israel's right to exist, and commit to all previous agreements between the parties. The key participants in this meeting will be the Israelis, the Palestinians, and their neighbors in the region. Secretary Rice will chair the meeting. She and her counterparts will review the progress that has been made toward building Palestinian institutions. They will look for innovative and effective ways to support further reform. And they will provide diplomatic support for the parties in their bilateral discussions and negotiations, so that we can move forward on a successful path to a Palestinian state.
In the one speech, President Bush touched every area of dividing the covenant land that Gods word states brings judgment on a nation. This speech very soon would have disastrous consequences for the
United States
.
While the President was giving this speech, the
United States
economy was rolling along without any serious set backs. The stock market was on a four month rally, and at the time of the Presidents speech, it was near its all time high. The stock market surge resulted in an 8 percent gain since March. On Thursday, July 19, the market closed at 14,000.41 for the first time breaking 14,000. The analysts attributed this rally to corporate buyouts, strong corporate profits and companies buying their shares. There was no talk of a recession or unmanageable debt.
The next day, Friday 20, the subprime mortgage debt implosion hit the stock market and the economy. On this day, the market fell 149 points. This was the start of the economic turmoil that shook the
America
and the world. The economic instability that has rocked
America
can be traced directly back to the week President Bush called for a Palestinian state with
Jerusalem
as it capital! On Monday, July 16, he gave the speech. On Thursday the Market reached an all time high, but then on Friday, July 20, the market and economy began to unravel.
The next week the market plunged nearly into an economic black hole. The stock market fell 311 points on one day and for the week it lost 4.23 percent. The dollar was plunging and oil prices surged. The world economy was heading into trouble times. On July 27, the headline for the New York Times read: Global Stock Markets Tumble Amid Deepening Credit Fears, and on July 28, 2007 the headlines read: A Second Day of Declines
Caps Worst Wall Street
Week in Years. This occurred the week following President Bushs speech.
In August the stock market and economy reeled from the collapse of the dollar, surging oil prices, massive problems in the credit markets, and the collapse of the housing market. The entire world was shaking from what was happening to the
United States
economy starting July 21, 2007.
October 2007
The Federal Reserve moved in September to release huge amount of funds into the stock market and banking system to stem the crashing economy. The stock market rebounded; however, the underlining problems in the economy did not change. On October 9, the market closed at its all time high of 14,164.
Three days later, on October 12, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. Two of these bills directly impacted youngsters in school. The first was the Student Civil Rights Act (SB 777). This act prohibited any instruction or school activity that promoted a discriminatory bias against gender which includes cross-dressing sex changes, homosexuality and bisexuality. All these lifestyles must be portrayed positively in all government operated schools. The second was the
Safe Place
to Learn Act (AB 394.) This act promoted transexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality to students, parents and teachers through school training programs against harassment and discrimination. These two acts attempt to indoctrinate all the public school system children and their parents into the homosexual lifestyle. This was a major advancement of the homosexual agenda.
On October 14, Secretary Rice flew to
Israel
to discuss with the Israelis the establishment of a Palestinian state and the upcoming Annapolis Summit meeting in November. Her trip was to end on October 18 with a meeting in
London
. Rice was very clear the purpose of her visit to see if progress was made in the development of a Palestinian state. During a briefing en route she said the following:
when a Palestinian state is established, it's going to be established in the West Bank and
Gaza
, and there'll obviously have to be some resolution of that situation. But I think the goal now is to paint as concrete a picture as possible of the -- of a Palestinian state to demonstrate that the international community, the region and most importantly the parties themselves believe that one can indeed be established, and then to invite all who have any -- who have the interests of the Palestinian people at heart to join that consensus.
On October 19, 2007, the
Santa Ana
winds began to blow in
California
which triggered massive fires in
Southern California
. At one point the winds reached hurricane force on October 20. The fires caused mass evacuations of over 350,000 homes in the largest in
California
s history. The fires burnt over 500,000 acres with several thousand homes and businesses destroyed. The damages totaled of one billion dollars. Just a few days after Secretary Rice returned from
Israel
, the President declared
Southern California
a disaster area.
On October 12, 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger signed six homosexual bills into law. These bills affected all of
California
s public school children. On October 24, 2007, President George Bush enacted federal disaster assistance for
California
. There were only 12 days separating the homosexual legislation from the disaster declaration and in between Secretary Rice was in
Israel
trying to establish a
Palestinian
State
.
November 2007
The Middle East conference that the President called for in July was held November 27, 28 in
Annapolis
,
Maryland
. There was nothing new about this conference as it centered on
Israel
dividing the covenant land for peace. The only significant item from the conference was President Bush set the end of 2008 as the date for the creation of a Palestinian state.
During the
Annapolis
conference, the economy was continuing to collapse and the stock market was falling. On November 27, the headlines of the New York Times reported, Stocks Now in a Correction, Down 10% From Recent High. All the economic news was negative as oil continued to climb. On November 27, the USA Today reported, Foreclosures to have profound impact report warns.
This meeting coincided with a major downturn in the stock market. While the conference was meeting, the stock market was classified in a correction. The market reached its all time high of 14,164 on October 9, by the end of November it fell 1400 points.
On the day after the Annapolis Conference, November 29, a powerful weather system developed off the Northwest coast of the
United States
. It was so powerful that for the first time in history a hurricane warning was issued for
Washington
State
. From December 1-3, the states of
Washington
and
Oregon
were struck by three powerful weather systems. The storms were classified as a 500 year event. The wind gusts reached to 147 mph!
The storms created every kind of weather condition possible, including snow, hurricane winds, record rainfall, major flooding, landslides and avalanches. The rainfall was so great that it was the highest recorded in more than 100 years of reporting. The floods and landslides isolated entire towns and caused enormous loss of property. This storm was the West Coast equivalent of the Perfect Storm which hit the East Coast in October 1991.
On December 3, President Bush and Secretary Rice, meet with a US-Palestinian Partnership promoting economic and educational opportunities for the Palestinian people. President Bush spoke and his speech was limited to a brief statement. Secretary Rice spoke at length and presented goals of the
United States
. She referred to the recent Annapolis Conference and continued to push for a Palestinian state by the end of 2008. A section of Secretary Rices speech follows:
Last week in
Annapolis
, the parties, Israelis and Palestinians, agreed to launch negotiations to establish a Palestinian state and to achieve a peace treaty by the end of the year -- by the end of 2008.
President Bush believes that the goal is achievable
We all fully invested in this effort. It's a real opportunity to achieve the goal that President Bush first laid out of two democratic states living side by side in peace and security.
On December 8, President Bush declared that a major disaster existed in
Oregon
and
Washington
because of the storms that began on December 1, 2007. He ordered federal aid and assistance to these states.
January 2008
On January 3, 2008, White House press secretary released the reason for President Bushs upcoming trip to
Israel
and many Arab nations. The trip was to begin on January 9 and end with the Presidents return on January 16. The reason was a follow up to the Annapolis Conference and to promote his two-state plan. A part of the press secretarys speech follows:
The trip follows the
Annapolis
meeting, and offers an opportunity for the President to discuss with Israelis and Palestinians their efforts toward a negotiated peace and achievement of the President's vision of two democratic states,
Israel
and
Palestine
, living side by side in peace and security.
The President arrived in
Israel
and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Olmert. During the meeting the President once again he spoke about two states, Israeli and Palestinian, living side-by-side. He was clear that the reason for the trip was to foster a Palestinian state.
On January 10, the President gave a speech titled: President Bush Discusses Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process. During this speech, he made it very clear that
Israel
was going to give up land for a Palestinian state. He also said the boundaries needed to be along the lines of the 1949 armistice! This meant that
East Jerusalem
needed to be given to this Palestinian state. He also said that the Palestinian state needed to be contiguous. There is approximately 30 miles separating
Gaza
from the
West Bank
. The Presidents plan meant the dividing of
Israel
into two states so a Palestinian state can be contiguous.
A section of the Presidents speech follows:
Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. I believe we need to look to the establishment of a Palestinian state and new international mechanisms, including compensation, to resolve the refugee issue.
On January 7, a tornado outbreak started in the
United States
. It lasted five days until January11. This was one of the most powerful January storms in history. There were a total 74 twisters. The storm created tornadoes from
Alabama
to
Wisconsin
. January tornadoes in
Wisconsin
are extremely rare.
This proved an ominous sign as tornado storms lashed the
United States
all through the Winter, Spring and into the Summer. Record tornado outbreaks occurred during this time inflicting tremendous damage throughout the
United States
. These storms dropped tremendous rains and set the stage for the massive Mid-west floods in June. The start of these horrific storms and tornadoes was January 7.
Unfortunately, the tornadoes were not the only thing devastating the
United States
. At the same time, the stock market was plunging. The entire time the President was on this trip the stock market was in complete chaos. The market was dropping up to 250 points a day and by January 11, it had fallen 5.00 percent. Wall Street was shaken. When the President returned, he immediately, called for an $185 billion economic stimulus package to bolster the economy.
While the President was in
Israel
promoting the dividing of the covenant land into a Palestinian state, the
United States
was devastated by an unprecedented tornado outbreak and the stock market was in chaos.
The volatility in the stock market and the tornado storms did not end. The President delivered his State of the Union speech on January 28. During the days leading up to the speech, the market was in chaos and was affecting the entire world.
The Presidents speech in part follows:
We're also standing against the forces of extremism in the
Holy Land
, where we have new cause for hope. Palestinians have elected a president who recognizes that confronting terror is essential to achieving a state where his people can live in dignity and at peace with
Israel
. Israelis have leaders who recognize that a peaceful, democratic Palestinian state will be a source of lasting security. This month in Ramallah and
Jerusalem
, I assured leaders from both sides that
America
will do, and I will do, everything we can to help them achieve a peace agreement that defines a Palestinian state by the end of this year. The time has come for a Holy Land where a democratic
Israel
and a democratic
Palestine
live side-by-side in peace.
From the time the President left for
Israel
on January 9, until the end of the month and beyond the stock market and economy were in chaos. As the President pushed for a Palestinian state,
America
s economy began to unravel. The following are a few economic news headlines from this time period: Bush Calls for $145 Billion Economy Plan; The Next Banking Crisis on the Way; Black Monday as the Biggest FTSE Crash Since 9/11; Stocks Plunge Worldwide; and Feds Deep Rate Cut Seen as Once-in-a Generation.
March 2008
On March 10, 2008, Vice President Cheney traveled to the Middle East and on March 22, he arrived in
Israel
. He met with Prime Minister Olmert, and reinforced the
United States
position for the creation of a Palestinian state. In a speech, the vice president said the following:
On this journey, I am reiterating the Presidents commitment to his vision of two democratic states,
Israel
and
Palestine
, living side by side in peace and security. He stated that vision early in his presidency, and as I like to remind people, he was the very first American President to do so. Reaching the necessary agreement will require tough decisions and painful concessions by both sides, but
America
is committed to moving the process forward
On March 15, 2008, Secretary of State Rice criticized
Israel
for not moving fast enough in creating a Palestinian state. Secretary Rice was concerned that the Israelis did not freeze construction in
West Bank
settlements and remove some of the more than 100 unauthorized outposts set up since the 1990s. When the
United States
government criticizes
Israel
building in the West Bank, this includes
East Jerusalem
. Rice was very upset over the Israelis building in
East Jerusalem
.
During mid-March the economy was in deep trouble. The dollar was rapidly declining and the price of gold was surging. The headlines of the New York Times read: One
Ill
Compounds Another, hammering the Economy; The Dollar Reaches New Lows; and The Price of Gold Roars Past $1,000. On March 14, Bear Stearns one the largest investment banks collapsed and needed to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve and other banks. The Federal Reserve for the first time ever intervened in this way. It was done to prevent the collapse of the entire stock market and financial system.
During this time, ferocious tornado storms were devastating the South and mid-West. On March 15, a severe storm hit
Georgia
and a tornado actually went through the heart of
Atlanta
! The mid-West was being hit by storm after storm with wide spread flooding and tornado damage. On March 19, President Bush declared a major disaster area for large sections of
Missouri
. These storms built upon the January floods and set the stage for massive flooding in June.
June 2008
This is not completed. When it is added, I will place a notice on the blog.
