In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on several things:

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) US meddling in Egypt
3) Events toward a North American Union
4) Prospects for a new world currency

The Quartet held their February 5 meeting regarding the Middle East peace conference in Munich, Germany. They released a statement saying that a Israel / PLO peace agreement should be through negotiations. The PA was disappointed because they wanted the Quartet to endorse the borders of a future PLO state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Meanwhile Israel announced new building in East Jerusalem which the US condemned indicating it being unhelpful in creating the conditions to make East Jerusalem the capital of a PLO state.  Because of the civil unrest in Egypt and fearing that it could spread across the Middle East, chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat resigned and announced new PLO elections for September. Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak visited the US to discuss the situation in Egypt and Israel’s security. George Soros is creating a financial fund to aid economic development for a future PLO state.

An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned as President of Egypt. Mubarak expressed displeasure in the way in which the US treated him throughout the uprising. In leaving office, Mubarak stated that he believes that Egypt and other Middle East governments will have greater problems this year dealing with radical Islam. The US may have had a role to play in the unrest in Egypt. During the Bush administration, the US developed a vision for the Middle East called the “New Middle East Project” outlined in the “Clash of Civilizations” essay which appeared in the “Foreign Affairs” magazine. The goal is a “new map” of the Middle East. The long term goal is for the US to control the financial institutions and the oil reserves of the Middle East. In any future government of Egypt, there is a concern of the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, George Soros is one of 8 members of the ICG executive committee who has funded organizations opposed to traditional US allies in the Middle East.

An agreement was made this week between the USA and Canada to establish a regulatory council to unify the security and economic elements of both countries. This is the beginning of the implementation of the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership) established under the Bush administration. This is part of the effort to eventually create a North American Union consisting of the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Portugal 10-year interest rates are rising causing intervention by the European Central Bank. Because of this, there is a concern that the same financial crisis which has happened to Greece and Ireland could happen to Portugal. A top Federal Reserve spokesperson indicates that the US can’t grow itself out of its current debt problems. Meanwhile, the IMF is again calling for a global currency whose value is tied to a basket of currencies called ‘Special Drawing Rights’ (SDR’s). When the US dollar collapses there will be a need for a new world reserve currency.

A collapse of the US dollar and the establishment of 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).

In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on several things:

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process and the situation with Egypt
2) World Food prices at historic highs

France is willing to host talks on establishing a PLO state in 2011. Regarding the crisis in Egypt, Obama wants a political transition to begin now.  Given that the government of Hosni Mubarak has been a vital friend of the US over the past 30 years and has given stability to the Egyptian-Israel peace treaty signed in 1979, why would the US be so willing to want for the Mubarak government to fall? The US may be promoting the rise and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East. The US had secret meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the past week.  Meanwhile, the US has lifted a ban against a Muslim Brotherhood leader from entering the USA. WND reports that the true goals of the Muslim Brotherhood is to resurrect the Caliphate which fell from the fall of the Ottoman Empire in WW I. They seek to achieve their aims by calling for “democracy and social justice”. The Muslim Brotherhood would like to create a Muslim Union in the Middle East and the Obama administration seems to be sympathetic toward their goals. The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood would create the condition for war in the Middle East against Israel. War in the Middle East could cause worldwide economic collapse. This would create a condition to call for One World Government. Watching how the US is abandoning the government of Mubarak so quickly given that Egypt has been a strong friend of the USA over the years, the Israeli government is in shock. Israel now recognizes that if a crisis happens in the Middle East that they cannot trust on the help of the USA. They will be on their own. This would mean that the nation of Israel would have to put all their trust in the God of Israel.

An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.

Recording the world economy, food prices are at a record high. This creates a situation for unrest around the world. High food prices will also contribute to high inflation and high inflation will work to collapse the US dollar.

A collapse of the US dollar and the establishment of one world currency is a tribulation event.
