From: "Faith and Freedom" by ex President Jimmy Carter.

   "One of the  most bizarre admixtures of religion and government is the
strong influence of some Christian fundamentalists on U.S. policy in the
Middle East. Almost everyone in America has heard of the "Left Behind"
series  by Tim La Haye and Jerry B Jenkins, twelve books that have set all
time records in sales. Their religious premise is based on a selection of
Bible verses, most from the book of Revelation, and describes the scenario
for the end of the world. When the Messiah returns, true believers will be
lifted into heaven, where, with God, they will observe the torture of most
other humans who are left behind. This transcendant event will be
instantaneous, and the timing unpredictable. 

   There are literally millions of my fellow Baptists and others  who
believe every word of this vision, based on self-exaltation of the chosen
few along with the condemnation and abandonment, during a period of
"tribulation," of family members, friends, and neighbours who have not been
chosen for salvation.

     It is the injection of these beliefs into America's governmental
policies that is cause for concern. These believers are convinced that they
have a personal responsibility to hasten this coming of the "rapture" in
order to fulfil the biblical prophecy. Their agenda calls for a war in the
Middle East against Islam, (Iraq?) and taking of the entire Holy Land by
Jews (occupation of the West Bank?), with the total expulsion of all
Christians and other gentiles. This is to be followed by infidels (Anti
Christs) conquering the area, and a final triumph of the Messiah. At his
time of rapture, all Jews will either be converted to Christianity or be
burned.

   Based on these premises, some Christian leaders have been at the
forefront of promoting the Iraqi war, and make frequent trips to Israel, to
support it with funding, and lobby in Washington for the colonisation of
Palestinian territory in the West Bank.  Some Israeli leaders have utilized
this assistance, while ignoring  the predicted final plight of all Jews.

   This has helped to bring about another dramatic departure from the
American opposition to settlement activity that prevailed during the
previous four decades, beginning when Dwight Eisenhower was president and
extending through the terms of his successors until 1993, when President
Bill Clinton gave almost blanket approval  to settlement expansion.
President George H W Bush has been  had been especially forceful in opposing
specific Israeli settlements between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, even
threatening to cut off financial assistance to Israel.

   Although some encroachment on Palestinian territory can be accommodated
in future peace negotiations current Israeli plans to retain far-reaching
West Bank settlements and to expand a large enclave known as  Ma'aleh Adumin
from deep within the West Bank all the way into East Jerusalem will likely
spell the death knell to prospects for the "Road map for peace," the
keystone of President George W Bush's Middle East policy. This will be a
tragedy for the  Israelis and the Palestinians.

This is Stan Johnson and his take on The Rapture. Long but makes some
excellent points even if they are mixed up with confused sounding commentary
on the millennium bug. An interesing exercise to sort the wheat from the
chaff - not by Jimmy Carter

Diggers350 - an e-mail discussion/information-share list for campaigners
involved with THE LAND IS OURS landrights network (based in the UK web ref.
www.tlio.org.uk)
The list was originally concerned with the 350th anniversary of The Diggers
(& still is concerned with their history). The Diggers appeared at the end
of the English Civil war with a noble mission to make the earth 'a common
treasury for all'. In the spring of 1999 there were celebrations to remember
the Diggers vision and their contribution.
