MINI-DESPATCH. October 8, 1999
From W. B. Howard ...Editor of Despatch Magazine

The events in the Middle East are breath-taking as they fulfil Biblical Prophecy before our
boggled eyes! A recent fax from a relative who is an architect has added to the awe - a
1,000 step structure is being built in Israel, which has echoes of the Tower of Babel? Of
course the Israelis would not see it as such, but the name given in the
E-mail for the “peace” monument is highly descriptive!  The aim of the union of all nations
which is being thrust upon the world at this time is precisely the same as the Tower of
Babel in the plain of  Shinar (Genesis 11).  The Tower of Babel represents the first United
Nations in the world.  Note that the first UN wanted to construct a building that would
“reach unto heaven” (Gen.11:4). The Jews in Israel are getting ready to enter a time of
extreme apostasy, just as Jesus Christ said they would:
“I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in
his own name, him ye will receive.“(John 5:54).

ISRAEL
Italian architect, Massimiliano Fuksas, is finalising work on an amazing double commission.
He has designed a Peace Centre in Jerusalem, which is backed by Israel's ex President
Simon Peres, and a monument in Bethlehem sponsored by       Palestine President Yassir
Arafat. Peres and Arafat are working directly with Fuksas. He was the only architect
approached for the commission. Speaking to RIBAWorld Fuksas says: “Arafat called me in
my Paris office, we had lunch and I agreed to his proposal. I like the two peoples. I can’t
understand how they have not managed to find a peaceful solution to their problems for so
long. Negotiations on a final settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began last week.

The Bethlehem structure,  a “STAIRCASE TO HEAVEN” of steel, limestone and granite,
has 1,000 steps dedicated to 1,000 cities world-wide and their diverse cultures. The
Jerusalem Centre’s facade is composed of alternating bands of translucent glass and
concrete, intended to represent the laborious, sedimentary process of negotiations for
peace between Israeli and Palestinian communities.   (End of news item).

Massimiliano Fuksas has this address:
Piazza del Monte di Pieta, 30. Roma, Italia.

In the Architecture Expo (Castello Gardens and The Arsendale, June-November 2000)
the Images emphasis will be: LESS AESTHETICS, MORE ETHICS.
The investigators of the New Age New World Order are well aware that the changes that
are occurring now on our planet are being pushed along on the bandwagon of New
Religious and Ethical transformations for a New World. The NWO Earth Charter is about
“ETHICS of peace, equity and prevention of harm.”  A section of the Earth Charter working
draft states this:
“A shared ethical framework that is inclusive and integrated is urgently needed to
guide deliberation and decision. Therefore, together in hope, and in solidarity with
the community of life, we affirm the following principles and pledge ourselves to
work for their implementation through individual, institutional, and collective
efforts.”

STEVEN C.ROCKEFELLER, EARTH ETHICS, Spring 1997:
“The expectation has been that the Earth Charter would draw on the new
discoveries and insights of science, and the wisdom of the world’s religions, and the
extensive world literature on GLOBAL ETHICS and the ETHICS of environment and
development, as well as international law. It must also reflect what has been
learned by those peoples throughout the world whose cultural practices and belief
systems effectively promote environmental protection and sustainable living. “
(Emphasis added).

Is it too far fetched to see this new “peace” monument in Bethlehem, and the Peace
Centre in Jerusalem, as being important structures for the promotion of the “peace” and
“ethics” of the New World Order? I don’t think so, in fact it would be foolish not to see the
connection.

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the
night.   For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”
(IThessalonians 5:1-4).
