Peace, Peace When There is no Peace :: By Daymond Duck

One, the “Treaty of Peace” between Israel and the UAE is scheduled to be signed at the White House on Sept. 15, 2020.

This is not the “covenant with many” that will begin the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27), but it is not hard to find good Bible prophecy teachers that believe it will trigger progress toward that end.

This historic “Treaty of Peace” has happened much faster than many people thought, and the “covenant with many” could happen much faster than many people think, especially because the Rapture will have taken place and the world will be in more turmoil than it is in now.

Two, on Sept. 9, 2020, the Arab League held an emergency virtual meeting to consider a PA resolution to reject the UAE’s “Treaty of Peace” with Israel, but the Arab League voted down the PA resolution.

One PA official called the Arab League’s refusal to reject the “Treaty of Peace” a stab in the back for the Palestinian cause and expressed the opinion that it will open the door for other Arab nations to sign “Treaties of Peace” with Israel.

Three, Pres. Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.

The winner will be announced in Oct. 2021.

Four, on Sept. 11, 2020, Pres. Trump announced that Bahrain will sign a “Treaty of Peace” with Israel at the White House on Sept. 15, 2020.

Bahrain will be the fourth Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel (the other three are Jordan, Egypt and the UAE (note: The Rapture hasn’t happened, the Church is still here, and these aren’t 7-year peace treaties; but the fact that these treaties came into being so fast should remind us that a 7-year covenant with many could come into being very fast. Also, be aware that Russia, Iran, Turkey, the PA, Hezbollah and Hamas don’t like these treaties, and their hostility could trigger some of the prophesied wars in the Middle East. The Houthis and others are, in fact, already threatening to strike Israel over these peace treaties.).

Five, Pres. Trump received an unprecedented second nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.

Six, on Sept. 9,2020, Jared Kushner (Pres. Trump’s son-in-law and advisor) said Trump’s peace plan is an effort to save the Two-State Solution.

Kushner said if things kept going the way they were going, “ultimately, Israel would have eaten up all the land in the West Bank.”

The problem with the Two-State Solution is that God gave all of the Promised Land to Israel, and warned the world not to divide it, but the Two-State Solution will divide the Promised Land and bring on the wrath of God.

Instead of “peace and safety,” the end result will be the Battle of Armageddon.

Seven, on Sept. 14, 2020, it was reported that up until the peace treaties with the UAE and Bahrain, only Muslims could worship at the Al-Aqsa Mosque (the PA claims the Al-Aqsa Mosque includes the entire Temple Mount), but a clause in the peace treaties says, “all Muslims who come in peace may visit and pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and Jerusalem’s other holy sites should remain open for peaceful worshippers of all faiths.”

According to Israel and the U.S., the Al-Aqsa Mosque is just the building itself, and the “other holy sites” is the remainder of the Temple Mount.

This means the EAU and Bahrain are agreeing that everything on the Temple Mount except the building called the Al-Aqsa Mosque should be open to people of all faiths, including Jews, and it could open the door for a rebuilt Temple.

The Temple will be rebuilt, the Antichrist will break the covenant with many and defile the Temple at the middle of the Tribulation Period, and the Jews in Judea will have to flee for their lives; and now the door may be opening for all of this.

For whatever it is worth, some Jewish rabbis have said Trump is another Cyrus that God has put in office to open the door for a rebuilt Temple.

Eight, concerning deceit or wickedness, on Sept. 8, 2020, it was reported that about 1,000 people voted twice in Georgia’s June election and they may be prosecuted.

They voted the first time by absentee ballot and then voted in person a second time on election day.

If it happened once, it can happen again, and the people that are left behind after the Rapture will eventually wind up with the most corrupt leader the world has ever had.

Nine, activists (with the approval of many Democrats) have announced plans to “lay siege to the White House” until election day.

They intend to do everything they can (including weeks of violent demonstrations in the Democrat-run city of Washington, DC) to stop the re-election of Trump.

Note: In the two days following the shooting of two Los Angeles Sheriff’s officers, the blocking of emergency entrances to the hospital, and chants of “we hope you die,” California Senator, former Attorney Gen. of California, and candidate for Vice-Pres. of the U.S., Kamala Harris has not voiced one word of criticism of these events or any desire for the wounded police officers to survive.

Elected officials are a major part of the rioting and looting problem in the U.S., and they are not worthy to hold any political position in the U.S. regardless of Party.

Ten, concerning natural disasters like birth pains, the second week of Sept. 2020 had the worst wildfires in California history (about 4,844 square miles this year), the evacuation of more than 500,000 people in Oregon (more than 10% of the population of the state and more than 1,400 square miles in the state), and about 937 square miles in Washington.

The numbers are changing almost daily, but on Sept. 12, 2020, Fox News reported that at least 24 people had been killed, dozens were missing, more than 6,000 homes and businesses had been destroyed, and thousands more were in danger.

Incidentally, I have read that in addition to setting fires and burning buildings, vehicles, etc., in major Democrat-run cities and states, there is evidence that Black Lives Matter has set some of the forest fires out west (burned buildings, vehicles, etc., and the Democrat Governor blames it on Global Warming).

As I write this, a slow-moving hurricane named Sally is threatening the Gulf Coast with high winds (perhaps up to 110 mph), a dangerous storm surge (perhaps more than 10 feet), torrential rains (perhaps 18-24 inches is places), and severe flooding.

Several tropical storms that could develop into hurricanes are behind Sally.

The nation of Israel is going on a 21-day Coronavirus lockdown.

Perhaps, Pres. Trump and Prime Min. Netanyahu should abandon the Two-State Solution.

God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

If Not Now – When? By Dennis Huebshman

Matthew 24:36, “But concerning that day or hour, no one knows; not even the Angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 25:13, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” (any emphasis mine)

First, being part of the Trinity, Jesus had every right to know the exact second He would call His church (believers) to keep us from the wrath. While He was on this earth, He became fully human (Hebrews 2:9), and was totally submissive to the Father. He led by example as to how we should live. As He did His healings and other miracles, He gave all praise to the Father, and was in prayer to Him often. At the moment He was raised from the dead, I’m sure He was again totally God, and reclaimed His Omniscience (All Knowing).

To sit down at the right hand of the Father was a sign of completion.

Hebrews 10:12, “But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sin, He sat down at the right hand of God.”

Romans 8:34, “Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the One who died; more than that, who was raised; who is at the right hand of God, who is indeed interceding for us.”

Colossians 3:1-2, “If then you have been raised [received Him as your Savior], seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father. Set your mind on things that are above; not on things that are on earth.”

And of course, Hebrews 1:3, “He is the radiance of the Glory of God, and the exact imprint of His nature [He is God]; and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins [our sins], He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High.”

Just as we are certain Jesus lived a sinless life on this earth, was crucified on a cruel cross that we deserve, and was raised from the dead on the third day to conquer sin and death on our behalf, we can be certain that He will come again, as promised, to take us Home. By the way, He didn’t “swoon” and not die as some would say. For a Roman soldier to allow someone to come off a cross and still be alive would have meant a death sentence for that soldier.

Jesus, being fully human, experienced real death, and just as believers experience today when they die, His spirit immediately was with the Father. How else could He promise the repentant thief that “today, you will be with Me in paradise”? (Luke 23:43).

On the other hand, I’ve used the parable of the rich man and Lazarus numerous times (Luke 16) as an example of what happens when someone takes their last breath on earth. The rich man was out of the will of the Father, and was already in torment, though not yet the Lake of Fire. Lazarus, in the will of the Father, was in paradise, or as stated, “In the bosom of Abraham.”

Over the past several months, it is very obvious this whole world is going through changes. To believe all this will settle down and go back to whatever “normal” is supposed to be just isn’t going to happen. Matthew 24, Luke 21, and 2 Timothy 3 all give us end-time signs and attitudes that will be here near the end of this age. In 2 Peter 3:3-4 we’re told that “knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing [mocking, ridiculing], following their own sinful desires. They will say, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep [died], all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.’”

Thing is, Satan is convincing many that everything is “normal” and that the problem lies with all believers. He is getting the way prepared for his ultimate evil antichrist and false prophet to appear. Sadly, a majority of the earth’s population is falling prey to him and his demons. Christians are being labeled as “haters,” and the persecution is just beginning.

Things are not continuing as they were before. Satanic influence is obvious, and his followers are out in the open as never before. For believers, this is a sign we are close to experiencing one of the last remaining major prophecies to be fulfilled.

Starting with 1 Corinthians 15:51-53; “Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep [die], but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.”

Follow this up with 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers/ sisters, about those who are asleep [already dead], that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope [all unbelievers]. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep [believers’ souls that have been with Jesus]. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command; with the voice of an archangel; and with the sound of the Trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then, we who are alive, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will be with the Lord.”

Please note, the Trumpet in these passages is not one of the Trumpet Judgments of the wrath. Also, only the dead in Christ will rise up and be joined with their spirits to be given a forever imperishable heavenly body. Those who are alive will have their bodies converted on the way up to meet Jesus. No more pain, suffering of any kind, and no more death forever.

Of course, there’s a second side to this event that involves all from the beginning of creation, and all to the end of the millennial reign of Jesus that were, or will be, unsaved. They too will receive imperishable forever bodies at the Great White Throne Judgment of Revelation 20:11-15 that will be designed to last forever in the Lake of Fire. There will be no relief from their individual punishment, and even though they would want to cease to exist, this will not happen.

Knowing that the unknown day or hour is rapidly approaching, why would anyone want to take a chance and put off calling on Jesus to be their Savior? I realize that many are totally “hooked” on what this world supposedly offers, and they don’t consider the future of their eternal souls. It has become a “Me, Right Now” society.

Jesus said we would know the season by what is taking place, just not the day or hour. “Twinkling of an eye” is instantaneous – less than one second. Being prepared beforehand would be very advisable. So, if you haven’t accepted the Savior, but believe you will “a bit later,” are you willing to gamble that He won’t come today? Satan would love for you to keep putting it off.

Therefore, the question remains; If Not Now – When? After the Rapture, it will be possible for people to be saved because Revelation 6:9-11 tells about those killed during the tribulation/wrath. However, to avoid the tribulation/wrath altogether would be the best and wisest choice you could ever make. Call today – He’s ready to prepare a place for you.

Shalom!
