In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on several things:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) Unrest in Syria and Jordan
3) Events which indicate the possible collapse of the Euro and US Dollar in 2011
Britain, France and Germany called upon the United Nations and the European Union to present a framework peace agreement to establish a PLO state this September. British Foreign Secretary William Hague called upon the Quartet (UN, European Union, US and Russia) to set clear peace parameters in their April meeting. The Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon called for a PLO state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Israel responded that any peace proposal by the Quartet must take into consideration the viewpoints of Israel. The PLO strategy is clear. They do not want to negotiate with Israel. They want the UN to unilaterally recognize a PLO state in September. This can be done either by the United Nations Security Council or through the UN General Assembly. Mahmood Abbas called for a PLO constitution to be drafted and ready for September. Mahmood Abbas is planning on having unity talks with Hamas in April in Egypt. Israel said that Abbas must choose between Hamas or peace but he cannot have both. Israel also stated that if a PLO state is unilaterally recognized this September at the United Nations then Israel will take unilateral action and annex the large settlement blocs. Because of the building crisis with the peace process, opposition leader Tzipi Livni offered to join a unity government with Netanyahu. Netanyahu did not publically reply to the offer.
An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.

The unrest in Syria has increased in the past week. The Syrian government resigned in an attempt to appease the protesters. Meanwhile, Jordan is on the verge of civil war. It seems as if the unrest may be the fulfillment of Ezekiel 30. It is a sign of the end of days. Political unrest in Middle East countries could evolve into a regional war with Israel.

Greece and Portugal is continuing to have problems. S&P downgraded again the debt of these two countries in in the past week. The March report of leap2020 predicts the collapse of the US Treasury bond market in the 2nd half of 2011. From these problems, the global elite would like to establish a one-world currency. These news events indicate that a collapse of the Euro and US dollar is possible in 2011.
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).
Shalom in Yeshua the Messiah,
