Course Change - Bill Koenig

Luke 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea."

Note from Bill:

As usual, when an American President applies pressure on Israel to divide her covenant land there are catastrophes and events that evolve or occur in the United States the same-day or within 24-hours, in two incidents within 48- hours.

On Tuesday morning, September 21, at 11 a.m. EDT, President George W. Bush gave a major foreign policy speech to the UN General Assembly. He said the following about Israel:

Israel should impose a settlement freeze, dismantle unauthorized outposts, end the daily humiliation of the Palestinian people, and avoid any actions that prejudice final negotiations.

From that point, Hurricane Jeanne began a course change over the next 48-hours that went from east-northeastward, to east-southeastward, to southeastward, to southward, and then westward towards Florida.

After President Bush’s speech, Israeli Prime Minster Ariel Sharon reiterated Tuesday evening that he was staying with the disengagement timetable and Israeli Foreign Minister Shalom assured the US Israel wouldn’t enlarge settlements. The next day there was a major suicide bombing in Jerusalem and two suicide bombings in Baghdad.

Hurricane Jeanne's 48-hour Chronology from the NOAA:

Thursday, September 23, 11 a.m. EDT: Jeanne strengthens while moving slowly westward
