Potential Consequences of a Palestinian State

Posted by on 14 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Potentially, big news is brewing in the Middle East.  The Palestinians are planning to force the U.N. to decide on whether to recognize a Palestinian state.   This will involve a vote on the issue of Palestinian statehood based on the pre-1967 borders this September.  If it passes, the United Nations will be recognizing the Palestinian Authority as a country.

In response, the United States is going to host a summit in Washington D.C. on July 11 where officials representing the U.S., the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia will attempt to devise an “international peace plan” in hopes it will be enough to dissuade the Palestinians from pursuing a U.N. vote in September.

If this summit fails, and Israel is forced to give up their land to the Palestinians in September, the nations of the world will be guilty of ignoring the warning message of the Old Testament prophets which is very clear… DO NOT divide the land of Israel!

President Shimon Peres warned that this written peace agreement on Jerusalem will cause a “world war.”

Joel Rosenberg agrees;

“It may look like a brilliant idea to divide the City of Jerusalem….to divide Judea and Samaria – a.k.a., the West Bank – away from the State of Israel….to give away the Golan Heights….as it seemed brilliant to some to give away the Gaza Strip in 2005….but let there be no mistake: the Word of God warns us in no uncertain terms that judgment is coming for all who divide Israel….and divide Jerusalem….and scatter, oppress and mistreat the Jewish people.

As I say this, the United Nations is preparing to hold a vote in the next few months to divide Jerusalem and the rest of Jerusalem and unilaterally declare a sovereign Palestinian state. For many, this seems wise and fair and just…..but willfully disobeying the Word of God is never wise….never fair….never just….and it comes with consequences.”

How serious could the consequences be?  This forced Palestinian State and the subsequent dividing of the land of Israel could be the prophecy sign that launches us into the End Times.  How would we know for sure?  We would look for a couple of specific indicators: a signing of a 7-year peace covenant between the nations and Israel, along with discussions around the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the restarting of animal sacrifices.  Both of these signs would signal the arrival of the Antichrist and the beginning of the Daniel’s 70^th week.
