...Bosnian Serbs' refusal to follow his instructions. After the vote in Pale, Milosevic stalked out, flew back to Belgrade and announced that he was cutting off all Serbia's assistance to them except for food and medicine. But many Western military experts contend that Milosevic cannot really seal the Serbian border and that Bosnian Serbs have stockpiled at least two years' worth of war materiel and food...
...crucial sixth chapter of Revelation, Koresh found his timetable. The bloody raid on Feb. 28 signaled the opening of the fifth seal. The Bible instructed that they "rest a little longer, until the number would be complete both of their fellow servants and of their brothers and sisters, who were soon to be killed as they themselves had been killed." Which merely meant that after a short time had passed, their time to die would be upon them. So Arnold and his colleague James Tabor from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte worked to sell Koresh on a less...
...official and unofficial advisers are to lift the embargo on arms shipments to Bosnia and to use air power against Serbian guns and supply routes. British diplomats say one of the others is a proposal from London for a military land, sea and air blockade that would completely seal off Serbia from contact with the rest of the world. Still another is the possibility of establishing and protecting "safe havens" for Muslims in the remnants of Bosnia...
Alas, Koresh took four days to finish 30 handwritten pages about the first seal, and they still await editing by his top lieutenant, Steve Schneider. So, FBI men sourly note, a surrender may be months off, even if Koresh keeps his word -- and he has reneged on three previous promises to give up. "No one at our place is holding his breath," says FBI special agent Dick Swensen. Instead the FBI is continuing its psychological warfare. At all hours, agents blast harrowing noises out of loudspeakers -- the squeals of rabbits being slaughtered, the whine of a dentist's drill...
...principal reason for thinking Koresh really might surrender soon is that for the first time, he says, he has received the "message" he was awaiting from God concerning the seven seals. Phillip Arnold, one of the experts in apocalyptic theology whom Koresh wants to examine his manuscript, and Koresh himself have provided some clues to his interpretation. In the Book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse, the breaking of the first four seals by the Lamb of God (which Koresh now calls himself) unlooses the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: conquest, war, famine and death. Arnold thinks Koresh relates them...
