'Peace, Peace' … Israel Beware!
'They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly saying 'Peace, peace, when there is no peace.' Jeremiah 6.14.
President Mubarak of Egypt, Palestinian Chairman Arafat, King Abdullah of Jordan, President Suleiman of Turkey, US President Clinton, Prime Minister Blair, President Yeltsin of Russia. Key players in the Middle East and the International Community whom Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met in the opening weeks of his government. The possibility of a meeting with Syrian President Assad has also been raised.
The White House rolled out the red carpet for Mr Barak and Tony Blair declared himself 101% behind his peace moves.
Kosovo, Northern Ireland … is Israel next in line for the intervention of the Blair / Clinton / International Community effort to create peace and stability in the world today? If so, is this good news for Israel? That depends on how you read their efforts so far.
Some general points about current global trends, which are relevant to this issue:
Mini states are emerging in conflict areas, which do
not have economic viability and are socially unstable. Such states need
the support and intervention of the international community in order to
survive.
Organisations once considered terrorist are being brought into power sharing
situations by governments, which are supposed to oppose terrorism. What
is required of the terrorist organisation is that they make a statement
in words that they will give up their former intentions. In reality they
do not need to change their intentions or give up the means of carrying
them out.
There is a growing control of the media by 'spin doctors' who promote
and suppress information according to how it will shape public opinion.
Decision-making is being taken away from national elected governments
and placed in the hands of shadowy elites behind international bodies
like the EU, NATO and the UN. Local politicians who co-operate with the
process are promoted and made electable. Those who resist it are vilified
and removed from power.
Things are not always what they seem.
Applied to Israel this scenario means:
The International Community is intent on setting up
a Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza. Israel is now agreeing
to this. This state will be economically and socially unstable and will
require some kind of outside intervention to sustain it.
The Palestinian Authority may say it intends to live in peace and co-existence
with Israel and will probably do so in the short term. That does not mean
it has given up the long term aims of the Palestinian National Covenant
and the 10 Points Phased Policy of 1974. A peace treaty with Israel is
consistent with the stated aim of these documents - i.e. setting up a
state on territory Israel withdraws from and using it as a base from which
to dismantle the Jewish state. Using the Kosovo situation as a model,
the demand for the return of the Palestinian refugees to their former
homeland will be one method for doing this.
Information which encourages people to believe that what is happening
will lead to a genuine peace will be promoted in the media (including
the Jewish press). Information, which shows the opposite, will be suppressed.
Those who question this will be vilified as enemies of the peace and warmongers.
The real decisions are being taken by shadowy figures of the globalist
elite not by the elected representatives of Israel. If Israeli politicians
go along with these decisions they will be treated with honour. If they
don't they will be pushed out of power.
Things are not what they seem. What is happening in the Middle East is
just part of the bigger picture, which is the breakdown of nations into
regions and mini states (it's happening in the UK too) to be absorbed
into supra-national entities which will lead in turn to some kind of global
government. There is also a movement to some kind of religious unification
dominated by Roman Catholicism, Islam and a mixture of eastern religions
and western humanism under the general title 'New Age'.
Behind all this we see a spiritual dimension as prophecies in the Bible
are coming to pass. For example:
Jerusalem a burdensome stone burdening all nations (Zechariah
12.3) - i.e. Jerusalem to be a concern for the United Nations at the end
of this age.
Israel making a covenant with death (Isaiah 28.15). Some kind of treaty
with a 7-year time frame (Daniel 9.27) being made by leaders who 'speak
lies at the same table' (Daniel 11.27).
A global political system emerging backed by an evil spiritual power whose
roots are in ancient Babylon (Daniel 2, 7, Revelation 13, 17).
Events which are leading to the (second) coming of the Messiah (Daniel
7, Zechariah 12-14, Matthew 24, Luke 21).
The return of the Jewish people to Israel is a prophetic sign of the last
days of this age and the soon coming of the Messianic Age described by
the Hebrew Prophets (Isaiah 2, 11, Zechariah 14). This is the time when
there will be real peace. The 'peace', which is now being imposed on Israel,
is a false peace, which will not stand.
