Prophecy Update: November 2nd 2018
The past few weeks the conflict between Israel and her enemies has taken a turn for the worst. Part of the conflict that impacts Israel is the division that exists in the Muslim world. There are four current power centers in Islam. They are the states of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Egypt. Turkey is ruled by the dictator Erdogan and his vision is that all of Islam will turn to him as he seeks to reclaim the glories of the Ottoman Empire. Saudi Arabia is ruled by the House of Saud and they are the land where Muslims make pilgrimages because of Mecca, the center of Islam. All Muslims are required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime. Iran is run by the Mullahs who give allegiance to the Ayatollahs. This small sect of Islam claims to be the true path for all Muslims. It is called Shia Islam while the other three states follow Sunni Islam. Last is Egypt, it is the land of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood claims to be the intellectual and spiritual guide for the rest of Islam.
One conflict that is receiving the majority of coverage from the media is the murder of a journalist named Jamal Khashoggi. He entered the Saudi embassy in Turkey on Oct.2nd and never came out. He went there to file papers for divorce so he could marry his current lover. A hit squad flew to Turkey to kill him.
America is in great conflict with Turkey and they are no longer an ally of the USA. Saudi Arabia has a relationship with the USA but they are not our friends. The relationship with Saudi Arabia has made a turn under Crown Prince Bin Salman. (I will call him MBS from now on) MBS has made overtures to Israel and changed the perception of the Saudi’s because of foreign policy considerations. The Saudi’s agreed with Israel that Iran is a threat to both the Saudi’s and Israel and they should cooperate with each other. This has made waves in the Muslim world. Some Muslims want to destroy MBS because of this concession. Saudi clerics have said that Israel deserves the land they live on. (this is a huge concession) Oman this week also made a concession for Israel. Consider this report:
OMAN SAYS TIME TO ACCEPT ISRAEL AFTER NETANYAHU HISTORIC VISIT, Jerusalem Post. In a speech he delivered at the IISS Manama Dialogue security summit in Bahrain, Omani Foreign Minister Yousuf bin Alawi said, “Israel is a state present in the region, and we all understand this. The world is also aware of this and maybe it is time for Israel to be treated the same [as other states] and to also bear the same obligations.” Bahrain’s foreign minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa voiced support for Oman over the sultanate’s role in trying to secure Israeli-Palestinian peace, while Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir said the kingdom believes the key to normalizing relations with Israel is the peace process.
Prior to Benjamin Netanyahu showing up in Oman, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with the Omani officials to discuss the peace treaty with the Israelis. The meetings did not go well. Why? The event in Turkey with the death of Kashoggi is related to the peace deal that Trump and his team are trying to put together. The bottom line is that most of the Muslim world does not want peace with Israel if it means that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Abbas went home and said this:
THE PLO ANNOUNCES THEY NO LONGER RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL TO EXIST AS A NATION,
The PLO Central Council decided to suspend its recognition of the state of Israel until it recognizes the state of Palestine at the pre-1967 lines with east Jerusalem as its capital, according to the Palestinian News Agency Wafa. FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The PLO has also decided to cut security as well as its economic ties with the state of Israel as set out in the 1994 Paris Economic Protocol. The decision taken on Monday night at the end of the two-day meeting in Ramallah.
Turkey is committed to destroying the relationship that Saudi Arabia has with both America and Israel. They do not want the peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestinians do not want the peace treaty and they are committed to destroying anything the Trump Administration brings in the peace plan.
The Kashoggi assassination plays into the Turks hand because it gave them an issue to divide Saudi Arabia from the US and eventually Israel. The Saudi’s have a strategic partnership with the US and Israel on security issues because the threat of Iran. For Turkey to be the head of all of Islam, they need to destroy their top competitor, Saudi Arabia! Kashoggi is a US person (a special status) as well as a Saudi citizen, this can upset the apple cart as they say. The left will be in high gear trying to get Trump to punish the Saudi’s so they can ruin the relationship between the two countries. Make no mistake, this is designed to destroy Trump, Israel, and anyone who is not for globalism. Why is MBS so bad for Islam?
MBS has made reforms socially and religiously. Women have been helped by his changing of the laws and the Wahhabi Muslim movement in Saudi Arabia has been attacked by MBS. This upset Kashoggi and he wrote against the regime. Kashoggi is for the destruction of Israel, for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and for the destruction of the USA. The conflict with Turkey is not over and it is unclear how it will play out. One thing is clear, however it plays out, it will lead to the Gog-Magog war. With that in mind, Russia made big news with this headline.
The Jerusalem Post reported 10/31:
RUSSIA WARNS OF ‘PROVOCATION’ IN SYRIA, HINTS AT ISRAELI ‘HOT HEADS’ Then the ministry turned its attention to southwest Syria on the Golan border. It said that “Russian soldiers are monitoring the situation at six observation posts along the line of separation.” It was in this context that Moscow noted that the S-300 had been deployed to Syria. “In order to increase the level of security of the Russian military personnel, aviation flights and the protection of objects in Syria.”
This is a direct threat to Israel. So in the past week, Turkey, Russia, Iran, and the Palestinian Authority made direct threats at Israel. Israel is striking back. Consider this headline from 10/31:
TV report: Israel silent as Iran hit by computer virus more violent than Stuxnet: Tehran strategic networks attacked, Hadashot TV says, hours after Israel revealed it tipped off Denmark about Iran murder plot, and days after Rouhani’s phone was found bugged. Israeli officials are refusing to discuss what role, if any, they may have had in the operation, an Israeli TV report said Wednesday. On Sunday, Gholamreza Jalali, the head of Iran’s civil defense agency, said Tehran had neutralized a new version of Stuxnet, Reuters reported. The TV report noted that “behind the scenes lately, the Mossad,” under its director Yossi Cohen, has been “fighting a real shadow war.”
The pressure on Israel from Iran and Russia to her north will bring a war in the future. Until then, Israel is not going to stop attacking any moves by Iran to increase its ability to destroy Israel. Iran has two main strategies for the moment. The first is to continue to put pressure on Israel and bleed her ability to defend herself. The missiles that come from Gaza are meant to make Israel use its patriot missile system to shoot down the weapons fired at Israel. Every patriot missile is fifty thousand dollars. It is expensive to defend the nation of Israel. The second strategy is to make bases in Syria, Yemen, and the coast of Africa which Iran can attack Israel. Israel is attacking in Syria but now Russia has moved in to stop Israel.
To make matters more complicated, another nation has decided to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Brazil! This is the headline:
“Brazil Bolsonaro Moving Embassy To Jerusalem”
This is huge news and comes on the eve of the USA revealing the peace plan for the Middle East. Next week, the USA will reveal its peace plan to Israeli leaders and I am not very happy about this. First, I think all peace plans for the Middle East will end up in failure because all of them have included dividing the state of Israel. God is very clear, the land of Israel is His land and all of it is being given to Israel, not other nations. No one has the right or authority to give away any of the land. Period!! Second, the election is bound to end up in the increase of division for America. We are being judged by the Lord and only repentance will save us. The nation has a large portion of people who have rejected the Word of the Lord. They have rejected what God did by giving us a president who stands for Israel and the Prolife movement. This president has done more for Israel and the Prolife movement than any other president in history and in less time. Has the nation repented?
A nation divided against itself cannot stand. This is where we are at in our history. Trump was blamed for the massacre in Pittsburgh where 11 people were killed in a synagogue. The hatred of Israel and Jews has been increasing in Europe and now it has hit America. The churches who demean Jews had a conference, Christ at the Checkpoint, and they advocated attacks on Israel thru economic blockades. Here is why the President and all who support Israel are hated in America, because Satan hates Israel and anyone who loves her. The Bible is clear, they who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.
I am praying that God protects the President from those who oppose him, from those who hate Christians and Jews, and that God will protect the President from himself. This peace deal is a fools errand. I already see the Lord moving to stop this move. I hope that America will stand up more for Israel by declaring the whole West Bank as Sovereign Israeli territory. That congress will step up to the plate and declare the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory. That the USA will throw the UN out and that we would leave the UN. It is an anti-American anti-Christian and anti-Semitic organization.
