In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on several things:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
Israel and the PLO disagree on parameters for a peace agreement in 5 key areas. They are: borders and land swaps, Hamas and recognition of Israel, control of the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem and the “Arab Spring”. It appears that the PLO are seeking to implement the strategy contained in the 1974 phased-plan destruction of Israel. A leading Fatah official said that Fatah has never recognized Israel and never will. Mahmood Abbas does not want a single Jew in a PLO state. The Arab League voted to discontinue seeking peace talks with Israel and instead recommended to the PLO that they try to obtain recognition of a PLO state at the United Nations in September. Israel says that they can’t stop the PLO from seeking to obtain UN recognition of a PLO state in September. In order to implement this plan, the PLO must begin the process in mid-July. In order to convince the West of a moderate image, Mahmood Abbas wants Salam Fayyad as the PLO Prime Minister. The PLO will be conducting civilian marches on the borders of Israel to protest the results of the 1967 war beginning June 5. PLO officials warn that this could be the beginning of the 3rd intifada. Israel is not convinced that the Obama has persuaded Europe against recognizing a PLO state in September. Spain has announced that it will support a PLO state at the United Nations this September. Perhaps in order to justify their political position of supporting a PLO this September, France has announced that they are willing to host an Israeli-PLO peace conference in Paris this July. Will there be war in the Middle East this summer? Will the UN recognize a PLO state this September? Based upon the current stalemate in the peace process, war or UN recognizing of a PLO state this September seems to be where the current road is heading.
An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state 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,
