... it is that it lasts exactly 7 years. That is what is unprecedented.

So now you're telling me this is the only agreement Israel has EVER made that has terms that last for a specified time period of 7-years with either the EU, EC, or the EEC?

You mean to tell us that you have made the effort to plow through the terms of every agreement the modern State of Israel has EVER made with the EEC, the EC, or EU going back to at least 1957, and you know that for a FACT not one other has a term of 7 years?

Now the way the line used to go, when the EEC had 6 nations in 1957 there were going to be a total of 10 nations of Europe that would get together (as popular prophecy would have it) into that thing from which the Beast would emerge even as 3 of the states would dominate, and blah, blah, blah.... But as anyone should know the EC now comprises 27 states, and its flag represents 12 of the original Euro-zone members c. 1990 (now 15 or 16 I think).

So since we're talking treaties and member states as few as 6 and as many as 27, and borders of Israel that have changed from 1948 to 1967 to 1973 to 1979.... And the EU/EC/EEC membership has fluctuated -- it may even blow apart as a monetary system if the "PIIGS" economies collapse (i.e., Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain), where did that 10-nation idea go and those 3 dominant states? Do 7-year contracts with Israel only have meaning now for some strange reason?

I won't do your research for you but since it's your point I'll challenge you to furnish credible source for this 7-year "unprecedented" agreement. And if you tell me end-times hucksters like Salem Kirban, Hal Lindsay, or Jack van Impe, we'll just end the discussion here.

FReegards!

Agamemnon,

I wish you well.

I stand by what I said. Israel entered into a 7 year agreement known as the European Neighborhood Policy with the EU in October, 2006. The nominal dates of the agreement are January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2013, which is exactly 7 years. Modern Israel has never entered into a 7 year agreement before with any nation or coalition of nations.

The size, shape, and history of the countersigning party or parties, in this case, the EU, is not relevant. Israel is the only nation that matters.

BTW, I believe that the strong majority (perhaps almost all) of modern day end-times authors are wrong in their beliefs. Some of them may mean well, but I believe that they are misguided.

Blessings.
