Argentina’s Fernandez condemns UK’s Cameron on Falklands’ comments
(By Eric Gaba)
Tensions have again gone up related to the British controlled territories of the Falkland Islands:
June 11, 2015
Britain and Argentina clashed again in their long-running dispute over the Falkland Islands, at the summit in Brussels.
The remote islands in the South Atlantic are claimed by both countries, which fought a war over them in 1982 after Argentinian troops invaded. Argentina calls them the Islas Malvinas.
In Brussels, British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled that people living on the islands had voted overwhelmingly in a referendum in 2013 to remain a British territory and said their wishes should be respected. A British government statement Thursday said “the Prime Minister robustly defended the Falklands and the Islanders’ right to self-determination.” http://www.neurope.eu/article/falklands-shadow-over-the-eu-latin-america-summit/

David Cameron has told Argentina in a “clear and robust” way to stop threatening oil and gas companies exercising their legal rights to explore the Falkland Islands and the surrounding waters.
In remarks which prompted the Argentinian president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to accuse him of having acted in an “almost ill-mannered” way, the prime minister told Buenos Aires that it was “unacceptable” to threaten companies hoping to invest in the Falklands.
Cameron made his remarks to Héctor Timerman, the Argentinian foreign minister, at a two-day summit of 61 EU, Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Brussels.
In a round-table discussion before dinner on Wednesday night the prime minister asked for the floor after Timerman had delivered a lengthy lecture on Britain’s “colonialism” which began 182 years ago when the UK “expelled Argentine population and authorities from the Malvinas Islands”, according to the MercoPress news agency.
The prime minister said Argentina should respect the rights of the Falkland islanders and should stop threatening companies. Cameron’s spokeswoman said: “The PM responded following the Argentine foreign minister’s intervention in a clear and robust way.
“The points he made were that we should respect the right of Falkland islanders, that we should respect the principle of self-determination, that there had been a referendum in the Falkland Islands and they had clearly expressed their view. We should respect that.
“The point that the prime minister then made was that it was unacceptable of Argentina to be threatening companies looking to invest in the Falkland Islands or in the waters surrounding that.”
Cameron’s intervention prompted an angry response from Buenos Aires. President Fernández said: “The prime minister’s response was irate, almost ill-mannered.” http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/11/david-cameron-clashes-argentina-falklands-threats-oil-companies

Cameron in furious diplomatic bust-up over the Falklands: PM went ‘irate’ at Argentine foreign minister during Brussels summit
- PM rebuked Argentina’s Hector Timerman during dinner with world leaders
- Timerman said islands were Argentinian and attacked ‘colonialist’ Britain
- Cameron said he should respect the overwhelming will of the Falklanders
- Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said the PM was ‘irate’
The ‘PM’ mentioned above is David Cameron.
Argentine has long wanted these islands and even changed one of its banknotes this year to indicate its hoped for control over them (see Britain sends more military to Falklands as Russia blasts UK inconsistency).
Many in Latin America see the presence of the UK in the region as an inappropriate relic of colonialism.
The Falkland Islands are located in the South Atlantic Ocean on a projection of the Patagonian Shelf about 310 miles (500 kilometers) east of the Patagonian/Argentinian coastline. They consist of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, along with about 700 smaller islands. Stanley, which is on East Falkland, is the capital and largest city. Less than 3,000 people live on them.
Although the voting people who live on the Falklands have made their preferences known, I believe that the Bible suggests that the UK will end up losing the Falklands.
The UK has has controlled the Falkland Islands since the 1830′s and it is obvious that most who live there want to remain under British rule. What might any of this have to do with the Bible?
Notice a prophecy about what was told to the wife of Isaac:
60 “Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them” (Genesis 24:60).
We in the Church of God have been teaching for decades that the United Kingdom and USA would ultimately lose many of their sea gates–we believe they possessed them because of blessings from God and would lose them because of blatant disobedience.
And despite British hopes, this will also ultimately include the loss of the Falkland Islands (which the Argentinians refer to as the Malvinas). Notice a couple of prophetic warnings that are consistent with that:
24 ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. (Leviticus 18:24-29)
23 ‘And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me, 24 then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. (Leviticus 26:23-25)
58 “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD, 59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues — great and prolonged plagues — and serious and prolonged sicknesses. 60 Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed. 62 You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God. 63 And it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess. (Deuteronomy 28:58-63)
For many years, the major sea gates of the world were possessed/controlled by the United States (Panama Canal and certain locations in the Pacific ocean) and the British Empire (Straits of Malacca, Singapore, Suez Canal, Bab el Mandeb, Strait of Hormuz, Simon’s Town/Cape of Good Hope, etc.). And while that is no longer the case for many of them, they seem to have been prophesied to be taken away for disobedience as well (cf. Deuteronomy 28)—and certainly these nations have disobeyed the God of Abraham, as well as actually have lost many of those gates. Thus, it seems logical to conclude that the remaining “sea gates” that the UK has such as Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands will be separated from UK control. Spain directly, or perhaps, through the EU (or some other European confederation) indirectly, will force out British control over Gibraltar.
The fact of the losses so far of many of the Anglo-Saxon sea gates should show us that various curses have began to hit the Anglo-nations. More will as well until the Anglo nations (including the USA) will be no more.
As far as South America itself goes, it is my belief that based upon biblical prophecy that most of South America will ultimately align itself with the rising European power (which will ultimately not be nice to the British). And it would strongly appear that Argentina will be one of the nations that will support the final European power.
