1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

Israelis pessimistic over peace process

Jerusalem (AFP) - An overwhelming majority of Israelis think current peace talks with the Palestinians will not lead to an agreement, according to a poll published on Saturday.

A huge 87 percent of respondents answered "no" when asked if they thought the negotiations would result in a peace deal.

Only seven percent said "yes", according to the survey conducted by Shiluv Millward Brown and broadcast on the privately owned Channel 2 television.

The deadline of the nine-month framework for US-brokered direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians is the end of April with no visible results, as both sides express seemingly irreconcilable demands.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, who has made 11 trips to Israel and the West Bank in his first year in office, is trying to hammer out a framework deal to chart the talks going forward by establishing guidelines on the most contentious issues.

One such issue would be the future of Jerusalem, which Israel considers its "eternal and undivided" capital, while the Palestinians envision the annexed eastern sector as the capital of their future state.

According to the poll, 63 percent think Israel should not relinquish east Jerusalem, compared with 26 percent who said it should.

More than three quarters of those asked (77 percent) firmly backed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's demand that Palestinians recognise Israel as the Jewish state -- a demand they dismiss.

Just 17 percent of Israelis thought this unnecessary.

Asked whether Kerry was a fair broker, 38 percent said he was "biased in favour of the Palestinians" while 27 percent said his conduct was "fair".

Only two percent said he was pro-Israel, and 32 percent did not have a view on the question.

The survey was conducted among 502 respondents with a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.

Israel's Peres opposes Netanyahu peace demand

Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli President Shimon Peres privately opposes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence that Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state, saying it obstructs peace talks, local newspaper Israel Hayom said Wednesday.

"In conversations held by Peres in the past weeks with senior diplomatic and political figures, he explained that this insistence by Netanyahu was 'unnecessary,' as he put it, since it could derail the peace negotiations," the paper wrote.

US-brokered peace talks that began in July have faltered over seemingly irreconcilable demands from both sides, failing to bring any glimpse of a final agreement that would end decades of conflict.

Netanyahu has amplified calls for Palestinians to recognise Israel as a Jewish state, a demand Palestinian leaders reject fearing this could preclude the right of return for Palestinian refugees who left or were driven into exile when the state of Israel was created in 1948.

The Palestinians recognised Israel as a state at the start of the peace process in the early 1990s.

Peres had not made his disagreement with Netanyahu public, Israel Hayom said, "so as not to undermine Israel's uniform stance."

Netanyahu reiterated his position in a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

"To have a genuine peace between us and the Palestinians there must be a Palestinian acceptance finally of a nation-state for the Jewish people," Netanyahu said.

Palestinians say Netanyahu's focus on the "Jewishness" of Israel is a deliberate ploy to sideline more pressing issues in peace talks that were kick-started by US Secretary of State John Kerry in the middle of last year, such as the contours of a future Palestinian state and the fate of Jerusalem, claimed as a capital by both sides.

"Today, you will see Mr Kerry going back and forth, discussing nothing but two issues. The two issues have never been in our agenda: the Jewishness of the state and (security in) the Jordan (Valley)," top Palestinian leader Nabil Shaath said Thursday.
