SPECIAL ISRAEL TRIP REPORT

We have an extra special treat for you today!  We have put together our complete Israel Trip Report which you can see by clicking here.  It has an audio report (2 hours and 20 minutes), pictures, and videos!!!!  After you check it out, please come back here and share how it impacted you.

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

1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The current situation with Iran

After failing to reach an agreement with Israel to extend the settlement freeze in the West Bank for an additional 3 months, Hilliary Clinton proposed that Israel and the PLO have separate talks with the US for six weeks to determine how to go forward with a negotiated peace agreement.  During these proposed talks, the US wants Israel to define their vision for the borders of a PLO state. If these talks fail, the US said that they would be willing to offer bridging proposals. However, the PLO rejected having talks about the peace process as long as Israel continues to build in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  Instead the PLO along with the Arab League proposes that the UN Security Council will pass a resolution condemning Israel building in the West Bank and East Jersualem.  Furthermore, the PLO would like to have the EU recognize a PLO state based upon 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.  The EU said that they would recognize a PLO state “when appropriate” but prefers negotiations in the immediate future.  The US is not applying political pressure against Latin American countries who have started the process to recognize a PLO state based upon 1967 borders.  The US violated diplomatic protocol by speaking with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the US recently to meet with Hilliary Clinton regarding the peace process.  By doing this, the USA was sending a clear message to Netanyahu that they are displeased with how he is handling the peace process. Recognition by the international community of a PLO state through a UN Security Council resolution will most likely lead to a regional war in the Middle East as Israel would rebel from such a unilateral declaration.  If Israel does not achieve a peace agreement with Israel in the next several months, the Labor party headed by Ehud Barak is threatening to leave the Netanyahu government.

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

Regarding Iran, they are placing medium-range missiles in Venezuela which would be able to reach the USA.

A 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,
