I wrote the article below in October of 1991.  Today, the Madrid Quartet (America, Europe, the United Nations and Russia) is giving Israel a road map for peace.

It forces Israel to surrender God-given land for yet another phony peace.  Arafat’s PLO along with Hamas and Islamic Jihad have shown that “peace” to them means the destruction of Israel.

In reality, the Madrid Quartet’s road map for peace is the old Muslim road to war.  Once Israel is weak enough, the Muslims will attack, hoping to finish her off.

But there is a deeper significance to the Madrid Quartet’s road map to peace.  Again, the plan came in October, like the 1991 Madrid peace conference.
 

Madrid for Halloween

The Middle East peace conference begins in Madrid on the eve of Halloween.  Both the location and the timing are significant to Bible students.

Madrid is the capital of Spain, a staunchly Roman Catholic country.  It is the same nation that handed Jews the cruel Inquisition not too long ago.
 

Daniel's Little Horn

Spain was the eleventh nation to join the European Community.  And is not Spain diverse from the first ten?

Almost 800 years of Muslim rule have made Spain a mixture of Europe and Africa in culture, language and race.  She is not purely European.  Spain is diverse from the first ten.

Expect a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies to appear in Spain soon.  One who will, in a few short years, make war with the saints.
 

The Eve of Halloween

The timing is revealing.  In the occult it is called Samhain October 31.  It was recognized as Satan’s high holy day by pagan Druid priests.  The same day is still important among modern day witches, sorcerers and other Devil worshipers.

What do Muslims, Soviets, the UN, Europe ’92 and New World Order buffs all have in common with Satan?  A disdain for the God of the Bible and for His chosen people Israel.

The conference timing is no coincidence.  “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Israel will find more trick than treat this Halloween in Madrid.  O Israel, make not a covenant with death!  With hell be not in agreement!
 

Daniel's Messiah

Israel will find no permanent peace in Madrid this Halloween.  To find true peace, Israel must turn in repentance and faith to the Son of man that Daniel the Hebrew prophet wrote of in the Holy Scriptures.
