The End of MWM

Greetings all,

Letting everyone know that after somewhere around 28 years, when our annual hosting expires on 08/24/2025, Millennium Weekend Ministries we will not be renewing. Lack of interest for the past many years makes it clear to Esther and me that it does not make any sense to continue to keep the site running.

Many thanks to the handful of folks that have stuck it out with us. Perhaps very soon we shall all meet when we hear the glorious voice of our Savior calling us home to the Father's house. Certainly any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, repenting with a "broken and contrite heart" (Ps 34:18 and 51:17) will find mercy and will indeed be caught up together to meet our Savior in the air.

What a glorious day that will be.

In Christ alone,
Andy

    Obama Is Said to Plan Fence-Mending Trip to Saudi Arabia

    Seeking to mend a frayed relationship with a major American ally in the Middle East, President Obama plans to travel to Saudi Arabia in March for a meeting with King Abdullah, an official with knowledge of the planning said Friday.

    Mr. Obama, the official said, will seek to reassure the king of American support after a tense period in which the Saudis and other Persian Gulf allies of the United States have grown increasingly frustrated with American policies toward Iran and Syria.

    And again..

    'Military action likely' if Iran talks fail, US spokeswoman says

    Harf says US is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and that "riskier" options will be unavoidable if current diplomatic efforts fail.

      'Dragging their feet': US struggling to make Assad turn over chemical weapons on time

      No longer facing the imminent threat of a U.S. military strike, the Assad regime is dragging its feet on relinquishing its chemical weapons -- leaving U.S. officials scrambling to pressure the Syrian government to honor the terms of last year's deal.

            ‘Saudi Arabia bigger threat to Iran than Israel’



            Iranian officials told former US State Department official that Tehran considers Saudi Arabia its primary enemy, not Israel or the United States, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Saturday.

              Like these guys are going to do something that the U.S. wants them to without some kind of force? Sure.

              Man learns about history, not from history. To learn from history requires wisdom. Cut off from God, he has none, so history repeats; no new thing under the sun.

                Hi Issachar

                So it would seem but I really recommend the article...
                Ukraine crisis creates bad will between Nato and Russia
                He framed the creation of an EU-US free trade zone in terms of giving trans-Atlantic allies more power to defend their values and interests in Ukraine-type situations.

                “If we are ambitious enough, TTIP [the free trade pact] will do for our shared prosperity what Nato has done for our shared security … Our shared prosperity and security are indivisible,” he said.

                I just posted in the Moldova thread. It really seem to have a grip on the battle that is going on.
                Hagel got up at this summit and stated how the US is truly trying to use diplomacy and allow the State Department to lead.
                They seem to have that much confidence.
                But Russia...

                    Little side note???

                    Kerry: Israel's security is an illusion, boycott around the corner

                    While still expressing much optimism regarding imminent deal, US secretary of state warns Israel runs great risks, only has momentary security that is bound to change if peace talks with Palestinians flounder

                      Two weeks after slamming Kerry, Ya’alon meets Hagel, praises US



                      Minister Moshe Ya’alon met with US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and hailed the US-Israel relationship. Ya’alon met with his US counterpart, on the sidelines of the Munich security conference Saturday, to discuss bilateral ties.

                      “The United States is Israel’s greatest friend, and our appreciation for it runs deep,” Ya’alon said following his meeting with Hagel. ”We have shared values and interests and strong ties that surmount our differences.”
                      One such shared interest, according to Ya’alon, was the need to combat the threat of jihadi terror “in the region and beyond.”

                      Bennett slams Kerry's Israel boycott remarks
                      Economy Minister Naftali Bennett criticized US Secretary of State John Kerry's remarks Saturday regarding the possibility of an economic boycott of Israel if peace negotiations fail.

                      "No nation has ever given up its land because of economic threats and we won't either," stated Bennett.

                      "Only security will bring economic stability, not a terror state near Ben Gurion Airport," he added. "We expect our friends in the world to stand by us during attempts at an anti-Semitic boycott of Israel, instead of being their megaphone."

                      "Either way, we knew in the past and know today how to stand strong," Bennett warned.

                      Danon criticizes Kerry's Munich Israel boycott remark
                      Deputy Defense Minister, Danny Danon
                      "We respect the [US] secretary of state but we will not negotiate with a gun put to our head," Danon said.

                      Danon called Kerry's words an "ultimatum", and said that true friends do not set ultimatums.

                      "We will make decisions that protect the interests of the state of Israel," Danon added, "If we had made decisions according to every boycott threat, we would not be here today."

                        Something to remember re Israel..

                        They apparently had already met before all this.

                        Waiting patiently to hear or see any outrage from those who claim to support Israel...
