Future Look Into The Middle East

Haaretz is reporting the following, in part (emphasis added mine):

After an Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories within the framework of an overall peace agreement, foreign forces could be stationed there for a specific period, the secretary-general of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, told Haaretz in an interview over the weekend in Brussels.

Foreign peacekeeping forces on the ground in the troubled Middle East. This, I have noted on a number of occasions, is how peace is typically confirmed in our day, in the manner Bible prophecy suggests the future seven-year covenant between Israel and others is going to be confirmed by the Antichrist “with many” as foretold in Daniel 9:27.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

On a number of occasions in the past I have suggested that my suspicion (KEYWORD: suspicion) is the Antichrist - a prince (or leader) of Roman descent - is going to confirm (or make strong) the covenant of peace foretold by the prophet Daniel through the use of an international peacekeeping force or a force comprised of his own people with the express approval of the international community. The stage seems to be being set for that precise scenario to unfold.

Reviewing briefly recent events, some of which I covered in another commentary, the European Union, the revived Roman empire of Bible prophecy, has expressly asked the incoming Obama administration for the opportunity to play a larger role in global affairs and, particularly, to act as co-guarantors of any future Israeli-Palestinian peace covenant that is reached. They are essentially asking, before our very eyes, what may amount to exactly what the prophet Daniel foresaw when he prophesied of the Antichrist of Roman descent (Daniel 9:26) confirming peace in the Middle East thousands of years ago.

I think most anyone who has studied past attempts at Middle East peace being obtained, even cursorily, realizes that the likelihood Israel and her enemies surrounding her on every side are going to be successful in implementing any workable peace agreement by themselves is marginal at best. A ‘third wheel’, it seems, is going to be necessary to pull it off. When we consider that and look at the book of Daniel, we see how strikingly accurate God’s vision of future events were laid out for Daniel to record for us, not to mention how very close we may well be to the return of Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Truly, our redemption draweth nigh!

Take a deep breath, Christians

Many of my brothers and sisters in Christ have written to me, worried about what the future holds, as a result of our nation’s most Left-leaning government ever preparing to take control of the United States on January 20th, 2009. Many are feeling helpless and hopeless because great potential exists that many of our most treasured freedoms are going to be jeopardized, if not erased altogether, over the course of the next few years. I confess that I’m troubled by recent developments myself on multiple fronts, but I’m trying my best to keep things in their proper perspective.

As hard as it is to look past the here and now for many of us, we need to focus our minds on what is playing out before our eyes in the BIG PICTURE to the extent our mortal flesh and its weaknesses will permit us to. We’ve not been forgotten nor forsaken and, believe it or not, better days lie ahead for us!

Jesus said, as recorded in John 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

As we take a look into what the future seems to be pointing toward coming to pass in the Middle East, we need to remember at all times that a promise has been made to us. It’s a promise that will be kept, potentially very soon.
