1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The European Debt Crisis

The US and the EU are making a last minute attempt to persuade the PLO from submitting an application for recognition of a PLO state at the UN at the end of September.  Ex-Middle East envoy George Mitchell says that it is unlikely that the US can prevent the PLO from submitting their application to the UN.  The PLO insist that they will submit their application to the UN despite US and EU pressure. The US reiterated that they will veto the PLO request at the UN Security Council.  Israel called for the resumption of direct peace talks with the PLO. The PLO are maintaining their position that they will only enter into direct talks with Israel if Israel stops building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  Mahmood Abbas stated that the PLO is willing to have direct talks with Israel after the UN recognizes a PLO state.  The Arab League called for a boycott against Israel. The French Middle East envoy got fired for opposing a PLO state.

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

Concerns over the European debt crisis is causing some to speculate that the debt problems in Greece and Italy could cause the collapse of the euro.  As a solution to the problem, european leaders are calling for a central european financial agency.  George Soros expressed his thoughts that the european debt crisis is worse than Lehman brothers who collapsed in the fall of 2008.  Opposition is growing in Greece and Italy among the people to government austerity programs.

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).

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

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process

China, Spain, India, El Salvador and Honduras announced that they will support a PLO state at the UN.  So far, there are about 124 countries who have made a commitment to support a PLO state at the UN.  In order to recognize a PLO state through the UN General Assembly, there needs to be about 130 countries who support a PLO state.  The PLO believe that when the vote is taken that there will be about 140 – 150 countries who will support a PLO state.  French President Sarkozy stated that he would like to see a united EU vote at the UN.  However, individual EU nations are divided regarding whether they will support a PLO state at the UN or not.  Among the EU countries most likely to support a PLO state are:  England, France, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.  The EU is working with the PLO to submit a proposal to the UN which will contain language which all 27 EU member nations can support.  Mahmood Abbas said that the PLO will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.  Israel held security cabinet meetings to discuss how to handle the situation if the UN recognizes a PLO state through the General Assembly.  President Obama is expected to speak at the UN between September 19 and 21. The US has indicated that they will veto a request for a PLO state at the UN Security Council.  Finally,  an Orthodox Jewish religious organization is trying to promote awareness for the need to Jews to be able to assemble on the Temple Mount in preparation for the possibility of rebuilding the Temple.

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

SPECIAL REPORT: GLC UPDATE

I was overwhelmed to see the avalanche of public support for me in the last two weeks and especially in the Hebrew Roots community regarding the FALSE accusations made against me at GLC in the beginning of August that I teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE identity.  Anybody who has seen any of my GLC weekly programs know that I do NOT teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE identity.  Furthermore,  I have made an explicit effort in each week’s GLC program (over 100 TV programs) to emphasize that Yeshua’s death on the tree made it possible for ANYONE in the world to receive redemption through His shed blood (John 3:16) and that salvation in Yeshua is based strictly on FAITH and has nothing to do with your physical ancestry.

The Hebrew Roots community also seemed to understand that this was NOT just solely a personal attack against me but is part of a systematic pattern of behavior mainly by Messianic Jews from the MJAA and UMJC over many years denouncing those who support the words of Yeshua in John 10:16 that He has ANOTHER sheepfold that is NOT Jewish whom He will unite WITH Judah and make ONE sheepfold with Yeshua being the good shepherd.

Several weeks have passed to allow GLC to specifically address the FALSE accusations.  Efforts were made by various Hebrew Roots programmers to testify to GLC that my dismissal was based upon FALSE accusations and that I do NOT teach Ephraimte / Two House bloodline identity. In some cases, GLC refused to reply to the e-mails and phone calls made to them by various Hebrew Roots programmers. GLC did not make any effort to contact me to try to resolve the matter. Rather than giving evidence for their claim that I teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE identity, they chose to SUPPORT the false accusations. Each Hebrew Roots programmer responded in a way which they felt appropriate to best handle the situation. They felt that they needed to take a stand for truth and righteousness. We are all in unity regarding the issue.

QUESTION: What is your purpose in writing this update of the situation?

EDDIE:  I would like to see repentance, reconciliation and restoration. This is my goal and objective.

QUESTION: Do you think that this is possible?

EDDIE: Yes I do. With the God of Israel, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)

QUESTION: Eddie, what is your view of GLC now that this has happened?

EDDIE: GLC was called over 30 years ago by the God of Israel to fulfill a task and a purpose to advance the Gospel of Yeshua Ha Mashiach to the entire world via television. The Bible says that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance (Romans 11:29). Yeshua is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). What Yeshua has started at GLC, He will finish. I pray that GLC will be blessed and prosper in their calling.  I want God’s best for GLC and Al and Tommie Cooper.

QUESTION: What is your view of Al and Tommie Cooper?

EDDIE:  Al and Tommie Cooper are two of the nicest people that you will ever meet. They have good hearts. They always treated me professionally. In fact, they treated me like their “favorite son”.  I have a deep love for Al and Tommie Cooper and for GLC.

QUESTION:  Your program was cancelled by the General Manager of GLC, Amy Cooper. How was your relationship with her before she cancelled your program?

EDDIE:  About a year or so ago before Amy was hired to be General Manager of GLC around November / December, 2010, Amy talked to me on the phone and told me how much she enjoyed my weekly program and that she didn’t miss any program and that it was one of her favorite weekly TV programs on GLC.

QUESTION: Were you surprised when GLC sent you an e-mail that your program would be cancelled?

EDDIE: It was a total shock. In my last “Light of the Southwest” program which aired around June, I spent the entire program explaining that the prophecy of the uniting of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-28) will be fulfilled during the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation. GLC replayed the program multiple times. Most of the time that I was on the “Light of the Southwest”, I would explain that Yeshua died on the tree to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel (John 10:16-17, John 11:49-52). Several times I explained my “Two Houses in 2 Minutes” to Al and Tommie on “Light of the Southwest” that the new covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8) and that the non-Jew is grafted-in (Romans 11:17) and by being grafted-in they become members of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12) and partakers of the covenants of promise and heirs of what was promised to Abraham (Galatians 3:29).

QUESTION: Are you offended by Al and Tommie Cooper for cancelling your program?

EDDIE: No, not at all. Offense is the bait of Satan.  I would recommend EVERYONE read the book by John Bevere entitled, “The Bait of Satan”. In that book, he explains that the “Bait of Satan” is when somebody brings offense against you and it becomes a source of bitterness. The enemy will then use this root of bitterness against you. Instead, I see that what happened to me was persecution for righteousness’ sake. (Matthew 5:10). Also that all who live Godly lives in Yeshua will suffer persecution (II Timothy 3:12). Being persecuted for proclaiming that Yeshua died on the tree to unite the 12 tribes of Israel (John 10:16, John 11:49-52) is a great honor. After all, Yeshua said that a servant is not above his master (Matthew 10:24-25)

QUESTION: If you are not offended by what happened to you, how do you explain it?

EDDIE:  The Hebrew Roots movement is a restoration movement of the end of days. The restoration message is the message to return to the Torah (Malachi 4:4) and that Messiah is coming to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel which is the Song of the Lamb (Revelation 15:3). Restoration and preparing the Bride of Messiah for His coming is the Elijah message. Spiritually speaking, the Elijah message is opposed by the spirit of Jezebel. The spirit of Jezebel wants to SILENCE the Elijah message and ministry. The Bible tells us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). Our battle is not carnal. It is spiritual. Our battle is NOT against GLC or against Al and Tommie Cooper. Our battle is with the spirit of Jezebel.

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process

Israel announced that they would build new homes in the West Bank community of Ariel as well as East Jerusalem.  The members of the Quartet (UN, EU, USA and Russia) strongly condemned the new building with the EU stating that it is illegal under international law.  Mahmood Abbas indicated that he wants a PLO state free of Israeli settlements.  After a meeting of the Arab League, the PLO have set a date of September 20 to present to the UN Security Council a request for recognition of a PLO state with East Jerusalem as its capital.  Lebanon will lead the UN Security Council during September and they said that they will seek to push the PLO agenda.

The PLO are intensely lobbying countries to support a PLO state through the UN General Assembly. Israel is intensely lobbying countries to vote against a PLO state.  The US, EU and Israel are all working hard to try to reach an agreement to resume direct peace talks and prevent the PLO from submitting their request to the UN.  Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton of the EU plans to travel to the Middle East on August 27 to try to persuade Israel and the PLO to restart peace talks. The PLO has said that they will go to the UN despite objections from the US and Israel. In any PLO state, Mahmood Abbas said that their will be a NATO presence headed by the USA to ensure the peace.  Israeli Likud Knesset Member, Danny Danon, is seeking to gather support for annexing the West Bank to be a part of Israel if the PLO achieves recognition of a PLO state at the UN.  Finally, Israel is experiencing social-economic protests due to the high cost of living in Israel for the middle class.

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

 SPECIAL REPORT

I have been on the Christian TV network “God’s Learning Channel” since about May, 2010. I have produced over 100 TV programs. In each TV program, I have about 26 minutes to speak. In each program, I use the same 12 minutes to say essentially the same thing over and over.  I remind the audience that when we study our Hebraic Roots we MUST keep EVERYTHING centered on Yeshua the Messiah because in the volume of the book, it is written of Him (Psalm 40:7, Hebrews 10:7, Luke 24:44)

I teach that Yeshua created the heavens and earth (John 1:3, 10, Colossians 1:15-16). I teach that Yeshua made covenant with Abraham (Galatians 3:16, 29). I teach that the rock that was in the wilderness was Yeshua (I Corinthians 10:4).  I teach that Yeshua is the RIGHT HAND that defeated Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea (Exodus 15:4) and who defeated the enemies of the children of Israel in the wilderness (Ps 44:2-3). I teach that Yeshua saves and is the Saviour (Matthew 1:21, Luke 2:11). I teach that the one who saves is the lawgiver (James 4:12).

I teach that there was a marriage at Mount Sinai (Jeremiah 2:1-3, Ezekiel 16:8) and Yeshua is the Bridegroom and the house of Jacob is His Bride. I teach that the house of Jacob broke the covenant by building the golden calf (Exodus 32). I teach that the Northern Kingdom was taken captive by the Assyrians and the Southern Kingdom was taken captive by the Babylonians. I teach that the Northern Kingdom was scattered into the nations (Hosea 1:4) and took upon themselves the spiritual status of “no mercy” (Hosea 1:6) and “not my people” (Hosea 1:9) but were prophesied to become “sons of the living God” (Hosea 1:10) who are believers in Yeshua as the Messiah (John 1:12).

I teach that Yeshua died on the tree to forgive the sins of His people (Matthew 1:21) and in doing so RENEWED the covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8) writing the Torah upon their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrews 8:10).

I teach that the wild branches are grafted in (Romans 11:17) and believers in Yeshua are members of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12). I teach that Messiah died to save ALL people (John 3:16).  I teach that Yeshua died to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel (John 10:16-17, John 11:49-52).

I do NOT teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE IDENTITY. The family of Messiah is NOT based upon BLOODLINE but based upon FAITH in Messiah. This FAITH is open to ALL mankind.

This is what I teach. It is public for all to see. That being the case, I have been FALSELY ACCUSED by others that this is what I teach and thus GLC (God’s Learning Channel) is now making the SAME ACCUSATION.

Here is the e-mail letter which they sent to me giving me notice that they are canceling my weekly program WITHOUT following proper Torah procedure in handling these FALSE accusations.

GLC WRITES:

Shalom Eddie,

Over the past several months, viewer inquiries are indicating that confusion is being brought to The Body as a result of the Two House / Ephraimite identity teaching.  At the same time, and with increasing frequency, we’ve been hearing from viewers and scholars (Christian, Messianic, and Ephraimite) who are expressing concern over the bloodline Ephraimite identity teachings which are taking the focus off of the Universal Kingdom of Heaven, and putting it, instead, on genealogy and racial identity issues. 

Sadly, we have come to understand that GLC has been painted as a Two House TV station, which we are not.  GLC is, and must remain, a neutral identity platform in order to teach Torah and preach Mashiyach to every kindred and tongue, people and nation.  Our desire is to bring unity to Jews and Christians in Mashiyach and Torah, and we cannot let racial identity become a stumbling block.   I’m sorry to tell you, Eddie, that after much prayer and consideration we feel we have little choice but to cancel your program.  GLC simply cannot support the Two House / Ephraimite identity that undergirds all of your teachings. 

While we support our Two House brethren in their quest for Mashiyach and Torah, we are firm in our belief that we are one people — regardless of whether one carries the label of Orthodox Jew, Christian, Messianic Jew, Ephraimite, or no label at all. According to both the Tanakh and the New Testament, whosoever desires to follow our Father YHWH and be a part of His Kingdom is grafted into Israel. Teaching others that they should love Torah and Yeshua based upon theiridentity cannot properly be supported by Scripture.  

We highly respect you and the gift YHWH has given you to teach and bring souls to Yeshua and Torah, so it is with sadness that I write this.  I assure you that our commitment to you for your Torah and Mashiyach teaching is unwavering because these are the elements that bind us together.  Several scholars who have taught here at GLC have noted to me that they are willing to meet with you — in confidence and privacy — to discuss some of the elements of your teaching that are bringing discord to The Body.  We pray that you will take advantage of their offer.  I will, of course, be most happy to make these arrangements for you.

May we all find Truth as we seek Him,

Blessings,

Amy Cooper

General Manager

I am asking all the friends and supporters of Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int’l to call GLC or write to Al and Tommie Cooper to repent of this injustice and to make things right.

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

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process

The reason why there was no Quartet statement from the July 11 meeting on the peace process is because the US wanted to include language that Israel supported to restart peace talks. This language included positions that President Bush wrote in a letter to Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2004 regarding the settlement blocs. However, the other Quartet members along with the PLO opposed this language. Because there was no agreement among the Quartet members, no statement was made.

Because of a threat of a US veto at the UN Security Council for recognition of a PLO state, the PLO is considering only asking the UN General Assembly to recognize a PLO state based upon 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.  However, other sources indicate that the PLO will go forward with plans to seek recognition of a PLO state through the UN Security Council.  The PLO will continue to talk with the US about changing their position.  Hamas opposes the efforts of the PLO to work with the UN.   Israel announced plans to build over 300 new building units in two West Bank settlements. The EU said that they were opposed to the plan.

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

5) EU: New settlement building units are obstacle to peace

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:

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The European Debt Crisis

The July 11 Quartet meeting (US, UN, EU and Russia) regarding how to restart peace talks between the PLO and Israel did not result in a new policy statement due to disagreement among the Quartet members themselves.  Russia was unwilling to support a Quartet statement recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.  The PLO still does not want to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.  Furthermore, the Quartet was unable to find an acceptable formula that both Israel and the PLO could agree.  Despite these problems, Quartet envoy Tony Blair plans to travel to the Middle East to continue to seek to find a formula to renew peace talks.

The PLO have stated that peace talks have failed and they plan on continuing to pursue their efforts to get recognition of a PLO state this September at the UN. The Arab League has stated that they will submit a proposal to the UN to recognize a PLO state.  The US opposes the Arab League plan.   China, one of the five UN Security Council members, supports recognition of a PLO state at the UN.  The PLO is planning for local elections in October.

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

US debt rating agencies have downgraded the debt of Portugal, Ireland and Greece to junk status.  The Italian M1 money supply has contracted by 7% in the last 6 months. A contracting money supply indicates financial trouble for a country. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke says that while the debt problems of Portugal, Ireland and Greece are manageable, if the European debt crisis spreads on a greater level to Italy and Spain it could spell major problems for the US.

Worldwide economic collapse resulting in a one-world currency is a tribulation event.

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process

The USA is conducting talks with Israel on a formula to restart talks with the PLO based upon Obama’s parameters of 1967 borders with agreed land swaps.  The PLO has stated that it will drop its plan to seek for the UN to recognize a PLO state if Israel accepts the 1967 borders as the basis of peace talks.  PLO representatives met with US officials in Washington this week. The USA was trying to persuade the PLO to not seek recognition of a PLO state at the UN.  The PLO have stated that they plan to continue to pursue recognition of a PLO state at the UN regardless of whether there are peace negotiations with Israel.  Iceland has decided to recognize a PLO state this September at the UN.

The Quartet (UN, USA, EU and Russia) have a meeting on July 11 in Washington. The Quartet is seeking to establish a framework for Israel and the PLO to restart talks.  Given that the UN, EU and Russia have expressed support for a PLO state based upon 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, Mahmood Abbas expressed frustration that the US seems to be dictating and influencing Quartet decisions. DEBKA is reporting that the US and France are trying to arrange an international peace summit in Paris on September 2 that will cause the PLO to not seek recognition of a PLO state at the UN in September.  Israel is seeking clarification from the US regarding the terms and conditions of a possible peace summit. Israel would like to get a commitment from the US that in any peace agreement with the PLO that Israel could keep the large settlement blocs and that the parameters of a peace agreement would be consistent with the letter that former President George Bush wrote to former Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2004.  The next big event will be the revealing of the Quartet’s position regarding the peace process on July 11.  An Arab League meeting regarding the peace process is scheduled for July 16.

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

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The buildup to war with Iran
3)  Prospects for a global economic collapse

The PLO presented the Quartet (USA,  EU, UN and Russia) with their 4 conditions to resume peace talks.  Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his 6 conditions for Israel to accept a peace agreement. The PLO conditions and Israel’s conditions are irreconcilable.  On June 12, the US gave Netanyahu one month to accept peace negotiations based upon Obama’s parameters of 67 borders with agreed land swaps.  As a result, the Quartet is planning on detailing an international peace plan for the Israel / PLO conflict on July 11.  The PLO has officially decided to go to the UN to seek recognition of a state in September. In order to do so, they must begin the process around July 15.

The PLO has set up a committee to lobby for state recognition at the UN.   They are focusing on countries in Europe.  Right now, they have about 118 countries who recognize a PLO state. They need 128 countries to recognize a PLO state in the UN General Assembly. The US has said that they will veto recognition of a PLO state at the UN Security Council in September.

The US said that they are willing to recognize the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.  The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist fraternity founded in Egypt in 1928, which seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate.  CAIR in the USA and Hamas are branches of the Muslim Brotherhood.

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

Iran has shown the world that they have had hidden missile silos whose missiles are capable of reaching Israel and Europe. They have tested these missiles in the last week.  The US has a concentration of large-scale American naval, air and marine forces in the Mediterranean, the Aden and Oman straits, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. This seaborne army is positioned for strikes against targets in Iran, Syria and Libya at 12 hours’ notice.  The US is prepared to go to war with Iran at any moment.

A US war with Iran is a tribulation event.

Ausralian Reserve Bank director Warwick McKibbin said that a global economic ‘train wreck’ is coming.  He warns that this could result in very high inflation not seen since the 1970’s.  Interest rates in the US, Europe and Japan are near zero. He warns that the US and Japan cannot afford 5% interest rates to finance their debts.  He said that Greece, Portugal and Ireland need a 30% – 40% devaluation in their real exchange rate.  He said he doesn’t believe that any society can survive a 40% deflation imposed by the IMF or the European Central Bank.

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,
