Israel officially began her Unilateral Withdrawal from the Gaza Strip this week

July 16, 2005

Israel officially began her Unilateral Withdrawal from the Gaza Strip this week by clamping a military closure on all roads leading into and out of the area. What is the stated goal of this withdrawal? To render the Biblical land now known as the Gaza Strip "Jew-free".

NEWS BRIEF: "Gaza closed, as disengagement gets underway", Jerusalem News Wire, July 13, 2005

"Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Wednesday ordered security forces to bar entry to the Gaza Strip to all Israelis who do not officially reside in the area. Gaza is to remain a closed military zone until all area Jews have been forcibly evacuated under Sharon's 'disengagement' plan. The timing of the move is seen as an attempt to prevent a planned influx of anti-pullout activists into Gaza next week ... Israeli media noted that the closure is the first physically significant step towards implementation of the withdrawal."

Prime Minister Sharon ordered the IDF to militarily close the Gaza Strip to all non-resident Jews to prevent anti-disengagement activists from flooding into the area on Monday, July 18, and thereafter; such an opposition tactic would present the IDF great headaches, for it would present them with tens of thousands of additional people they would have to remove. Better to prevent these activists from ever entering the area than to allow them entry and then have to physically remove them.

The Israeli mass media correctly noted that this action officially begins the Unilateral Withdrawal. Sharon set August 15 (the day after the "9th of Av" day of mourning) as the first day of forced evacuation, but this early action by the IDF certainly does start the withdrawal process early.

However, the next segment of this article presents the stark truth -- a truth which Cutting Edge has been predicting for many years now.

"The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza decried the decision as 'the first time in history that a Jewish prime minister blockades Jewish communities and declares a part of Israel Jews-free'.” (Ibid.; Emphasis added)

Another current news article captures the fact that the ultimate goal of the withdrawal is to completely remove all Jews from this part of the land which God gave to the Tribe of Judah -- as you can clearly see from the map, left.

Another news article also presents the fact that no Jew will be left behind.

NEWS BRIEF: "Disengagement by the Numbers", Israel Insider, July 12, 2005

"After numerous fruitless bids to find a partner for peace with the Palestinians, in August 2005 Israel will carry out its disengagement initiative. Israel will hand over all of Gaza and part of the West Bank to the Palestinians, making it the first country in modern history to give up land acquired in a defensive war. During this summer's planned pullout:

* 100% of the Gaza Strip will be evacuated and handed over to the Palestinians

* 300 square miles of the West Bank will be evacuated.

* 21 Israeli settlements will be uprooted in the Gaza Strip

* 4 Israeli settlements will be uprooted in the West Bank.

* 9,000 is the approximate number of Israelis, including 1,700 Israeli families, currently living in the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank. All of them will be moved out as part of the withdrawal

* 45,000 Israeli soldiers and policemen are expected to participate in the Gaza withdrawal

* 48 graves in the Gush Katif Cemetery, including six graves of area residents murdered by terrorists, will be uprooted (and moved)

After the withdrawal:

* 430,000 West Bank Palestinians will be able to move freely within and between Palestinian controlled areas

* 0 Israelis, dead or alive, will remain in Gaza

"Jew-free" is the end goal of the Oslo Peace Accords, for the reason we set forth in NEWS1422, "The Coming Prophesied Annihilation of the House of Esau - Today's Palestinians". We posted this article in October, 2000, and have received our share of derision since then. However, that volume of disbelief has dramatically declined lately, as news reports are obviously moving in this direction.

Why is Israel completely separating the Jewish population from the Palestinian? To fulfill the annihilating prophecy of Obadiah 15-18, as explained in the above article. Listen to what we foretold in October, 2000, as to how Israel would annihilate the Palestinians as prophesied in this Scripture.

"Obadiah 15-18 foretells the annihilation by fire of an entire nation, the House of Esau, which are the Palestinians ... If God's judgment of 100% annihilation is to be carried out by Israel -- as Obadiah 18 states -- what kind of action would be necessary to carry out such a population genocide, while protecting Jewish citizens?

I believe the Oslo Peace Accord was the specific outworking of the Israeli decision to annihilate the Arabs during the next Arab-Israeli war, a position explained by that editorial in the June, 1990, edition of the Jewish Press. You see, the Oslo Peace Accord is an ingenious trap for the Arab, they are about to fall into it, and be annihilated. "

"Now, ask yourself what one geographical reality would a military commander wish to face if he knew he would soon be called upon to totally annihilate a civilian population, especially when such population is in very close physical proximity to your own citizens? Why, you would want that targeted population to be physically separated from your own population, would you not? In fact, a military commander would want to pull 100% of his own people out of the targeted areas just before he began his annihilating action. From my experience in U.S. Military Intelligence, I can tell you that an analyst would be looking for just this kind of action to occur, thinking that, when minority citizens are pulled out of the targeted cities and towns, this action would be a signal that large-scale attack was imminent ... If this separation includes the forcible evacuation of Jewish citizens living within the Arab enclave, you can know this prophesied annihilation is about to begin."

We penned these words in October, 2000 (NEWS1422), and they are presently coming true, in your Daily News! When you see the annihilation of the entire Palestinian people, you will know that the Rapture is very close. The war on the Palestinians will occur in the context of a Middle East Regional War as Israel fights a combination force comprised of Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, and Jordanians (Read NEWS1056 for full details).

And, if the Ark of the Covenant is "discovered" prior to the completion of the forced evacuation, you can positively know the end is very near.
