This week’s 5 minute update is available in audio only.
In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on two things:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The current situation with Iran
Regarding the current situation with the Israel / PLO peace process, the Israel government continued to respond to the demands on Israel toward the peace process. The USA said that this is not the time to impose a Mideast peace plan but indicated that Israel must choose between the peace process and those who oppose the dividing of Jerusalem.
A link to these articles is as follows:
1) How will Netanyahu respond to Obama’s ultimatum?
2) Obama pushing Israel to carve up Jerusalem?
3) Mitchell en route, Jerusalem freeze rejected
4) Ayalon to US: Pressure will prevent peace
5) Lieberman: Jerusalem not negotiable
6) Netanyahu to ABC: Jerusalem construction justified
7) US officials slam pro-Israel Jerusalem ad
8) Rahm Emanuel: Now is not the time for a new Mideast peace plan
9) Indyk: Netanyahu must choose — Obama or Right
10) Fayyad: Security gains will help in imposing a state
11) Israel and US are secretly working to bridge gaps in the peace process
The dividing of the land of Israel (Joel 3:2) and the city of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:2) is a tribulation event.
Regarding Iran, the US indicated that they will not attack Iran in the near future and that Israel has agreed to give time for sanctions against Iran to work before thinking about attacking Iran. A link to these articles is as follows:
1) US: Iran strike ‘off the table’ for now
2) Biden: Israel won’t attack Iran before sanctions allowed to work
US war with Iran 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,
