It Wouldn’t Surprise Me To See Him In Heaven
F. Peter Brown, Western Journalism — Is it possible that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat may have converted to Christianity before he died? That’s what RT Kendall, a prominent Christian writer and speaker, said recently.Kendall, the former minister of Westminster Chapel, was granted a rare 20 minute meeting with Arafat in which Kendall informed Arafat that he had prayed for Arafat for every day for the past 20 years.
The planned 20 minute meeting turned into a one hour and forty five minute meeting that became the first of five meetings with Arafat.
Kendall claims that he spoke to Arafat about the gospel message of the Bible, including of course the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Kendall said:
“It wouldn’t surprise me to see him in heaven. I’ll tell you why. I prayed with him five times, anointed him with oil, I gave him a [salvation] prayer…I’m not saying I know that he’s saved; I’m saying I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Kendall claims that on the third visit, Arafat watched The Passion of the Christ and wept at the film.
He also says that interpreters tried to shut down his conversations with Arafat, but that Arafat insisted that they continue.
Yesterday. Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat’s successor, marked the anniversary of Arafat’s death with a speech in Ramallah.
Khaled Abu Toameh of the Gatestone Institute commented: “Like Arafat, Abbas has become hostage to his own rhetoric. How can Abbas be expected to accept any deal that does not include 100 percent of his demands – in this instance, all territory captured by Israel in 1967?”
