In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The prospects for war with Syria and Iran
3) The European Debt Situation
The PLO repeated that they will not give up on their efforts at the UN to get recognition of a PLO state based upon 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. The UN General Assembly passed 6 resolutions supporting the PLO view of the peace process. One of these UN General Assembly measures was to express support for the 1947 UN Partition plan with called for creating a Jewish state and an Arab state and making Jerusalem an international city. The Catholic church said that Jerusalem should have a special international status to protect the various holy sites in the city. Based upon the request of the Quartet (USA, EU, Russia and the UN), the PLO have submitted a paper detailing their views on the borders of a PLO state with security arrangements. Israel said that it will not present its view of the borders for a PLO state unless there is direct negotiations with the PLO over all outstanding issues of the peace process. The US and Israel are in an intense disagreement over the timing of a possible military strike against the Iranian nuclear program. Israel believes that time is limited. The US is willing to wait until the fall of 2012. The Obama administration chastised Israel for considering bombing Iran in the near future without it being coordinated with the USA.
An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.

The Muslim Brotherhood won Egyptian elections. They will want to implement Sharia law in Egypt. The Arab League has placed economic sanctions upon Syria for suppressing anti-government protestes. Russia is concerned that Syrian president Bashar Assad’s government will fall so they have given Syria missiles and are trying to prevent the West from causing the Assad government to fall. Russia is also opposed to further UN Sanctions against Iran. For all practical purposes, a covert war against Syria and Iran led by the West has already started. It could lead to a regional war which involves Israel.
A US war with Iran is a tribulation event.

The European Union has a major meeting on December 9 where they will discuss the future of the Eurozone. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is advocating that the member states of the European Union agree to a new EU treaty which will give greater economic power to centrally controlled EU institutions and erode the national sovereignty of EU member states. If the meeting on December 9 is a failure then it could result in the collapse of the Euro and a realignment of the Eurozone. It would trigger a worldwide economic crisis.
Worldwide economic collapse resulting in a one-world currency is a tribulation event.

From a Biblical prophetic perspective, the reason why the God of Israel would allow these events to happen is because it will result in the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the reunification of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ephraim and Judah).
We will to be “watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem” and we will not rest until the God of Israel makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62).
Shalom in Yeshua the Messiah,
