Prophecy Update: Feb.14, 2019
When God called David to be king of Israel, He called him to reign from the city of Hebron. 2Sam.2:1 says, “Then it came about afterwards that David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” And the LORD said to him, “Go up.” So David said, “Where shall I go up?” And He said, “To Hebron.” For the next seven years, David reigned over Israel from the capital city Hebron. The world denies that the Jews ever lived or had a kingdom in the land of Israel. The world has made it a point to deceive the nations regarding the most important cities of Israel. They do this by denying that Israel has any right to the land or the cities that God gave them. In this update, I want to break down for you some amazing things happening in Israel with regard to the Lords work to give the land to the Jews. Included in the conflict is the ‘Deal of the Century’ by Donald Trump. Unfortunately for our President, all the news is bad about his peace deal. It is a deal that divides the nation of Israel and refuses to recognize the West Bank as Judea and Samaria.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday (Jan.28th) that he will not renew the mandate of the international observers in Hebron, leading a similar group to announce its departure as well. The Israeli government claims the groups exacerbate the tensions in the city by advancing a pro-Palestinian biased image of the situation in the city. “We will not allow the continuation of an international force that acts against us,” Netanyahu said in the statement announcing the decision. This act by Netanyahu shows that God is getting ready to reclaim His land for His people Israel.
Hebron is the second holiest city to the Jews and the Bible describes how Abraham purchased it for his descendants. According to the UN and most nations, Hebron is in the West Bank. The West Bank is a term used by those who deny that the Biblical Heartland of Judea and Samaria is Jewish territory. God has promised to give all of the West Bank to Israel. It is a one state solution by God. The war to rid the land of Jews is ongoing. Consider these two articles:
Jerusalem Post 2/13/19
“A secret Hamas unit in the Gaza Strip used Al-Aqsa TV to direct Palestinians in the West Bank to carry out attacks inside Israel, the Shin Bet General Security Service said on Wednesday.”
Times of Israel 2/13/19
Israel’s Airports Authority, in charge of the nation’s international and domestic airports and its land border crossings, has to block three million attempts to breach its systems a day, mostly by bots, the head of cyber and information security at the authority, Roee Laufer, said.
The battle is among the Americans also. The Trump Administration cannot bring itself to call the West Bank by its biblical names, Judea and Samaria. This has been an ongoing war as these articles point out.
Times of Israel 4/28/18
“United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman has been seeking to adopt the Israeli name for the West Bank, Judea and Samaria, in his official remarks and statements, but has so far been prevented from doing so by the Trump administration, officials told the Associated Press.” Many in the Trump Administration are pushing the president to declare the West Bank as Israeli territory. This apparently is in conflict with the peace deal. I am praying that the peace deal never sees the light of day!

Arab propaganda has used “West Bank” since 1949 to obliterate any Jewish connection to one of the two remaining pieces of land under the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine where sovereignty still remains undetermined between Jews and Arabs. President Trump – having rejected a barrage of criticism since describing himself as a “nationalist” – faces a further torrent of invective should he choose to say “Judea and Samaria” rather than “West Bank” in his postponed, as rumor has it, or soon to-be-released peace proposals.

Report: Trump Peace Deal Divides Jerusalem, Palestinians Get Almost All of Judea, Samaria. President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians will include dividing Jerusalem and giving 85-95% of the West Bank (historic Judea and Samaria) to a future Palestinian state, according to a report from Israeli media Wednesday. There are a lot of conflicting statements about the peace deal. We don’t know what is in it yet, but lets hope that what has been said is untrue. If you divide the nation of Israel, God will judge you!
In Israel a minister called for the annexation of the West Bank. Here is a report about that:
Middle East Eye: 1/14/19
“Israeli minister calls for annexation of the West Bank. Yoav Galant dismisses the possibility of a future Palestinian state, saying ‘settlements are the new Zionism of the 21st century.’ During an election campaign stop in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank, Galant said: “I am clearly saying no to a Palestinian state. It is not possible to have more than one state west of the Jordan River.”
“We will work to apply sovereignty in all of Judea and Samaria and to strengthen the settlements,” he added, using the terms Israel uses for the West Bank.”
There were at least 12 articles about annexation of the West Bank in the last year and many government officials are declaring their acceptance of this action. I believe that soon you will see the Golan Heights and the whole West Bank in Israeli hands. Ezekiel and Amos indicate that this action will be taken by God to preserve and advance His plan through Israel for the last days. This next article is very revealing and is a plea from a Jewish writer to Christians to support annexation. I found it enlightening:
Breaking Israel News 1/20/19
“Yes, it’s true! Throughout Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, it’s impossible to throw a rock, sit down on a bench, dig a hole, or even build a parking lot without touching a story straight out of the Bible! Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants all the way to Yeshua (Jesus) traveled the Road of the Patriarchs (now called Road 60) when going to and from Jerusalem and beyond. If we simply start at Mt. Gerizim, we find the story of the woman at the well (John 4), as well as multiple stories of Yeshua stopping at the town of the Samaritans. From Mt. Gerizim, we could throw a rock and hit Joseph’s Tomb, as well as the field that Jacob bought (Genesis 33:19). Across from Mt. Gerizim is Mt. Ebal, where Joshua’s Altar (Joshua 8:30) still stands today, and where the tribes stood and listened as Joshua declared “as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15) Across the valley is Elon Moreh, where Abraham stood in Genesis 12, when God first promised him the land. We don’t have the space or the time, but we would also pass by the stories of Micah, the Tabernacle at Shiloh, Jacob’s Ladder at Bethel, and Jeremiah’s field in Anathoth as we drive to Jerusalem from Mt. Gerizim. This list is only scraping the surface of Israel’s rich Biblical Heartland.”
When we pray and support Israel’s right to the land, we are preserving the biblical sights and stories of the Bible. The Muslim world is dedicated to destroying those sights and any Biblical connection to the heartland of Israel. I read my Bible a lot, I am reading about these places and I want to see them preserved as the Bible predicts will happen. An election is happening in Israel and Netanyahu could be thrown out of office. The Jerusalem Post said this on 2/5/19, “All Likud parliamentarians vying for reelection in the next government, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, support the annexation of the West Bank.” Netanyahu has been silent on the matter, that concerns me. He has made statements in the past that seem to support annexation. The article went on to say:
“Out of the 30 Likud members who hold Knesset seats, 28 have made statements or signed a declaration in support of the application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.” Since God wants annexation it will happen sooner or later. I have been following this story for over 30 years, I cannot tell you how pumped I am that we are so close to seeing God pulling off another miracle in the Middle East. What a great time to be alive. The article also said: The Sovereignty Movement, co-chaired by Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, called on Likud politicians to make sure to elect people who support sovereignty, explaining that action on this issue in the next Knesset would be the “true test for leadership of the national camp.”
Let me finish with this quote from Amos 9: 14-15 “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.
“I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the LORD your God.
At the moment, Jews are prevented from living in many of the cities that God talks about, Hebron, Bethlehem, Jericho, Shechem, Shiloh, Bethel etc. This has not prevented them from settling these places. The Jews who live in or near these biblical cities are labeled illegal settlements. Soon and very soon God will move mightily to do awesome things, are you ready?
