Like in the story Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum, when slave Pseudolus runs into all sorts of side-tracking interferences as he tries to win his freedom from Roman slavery, something funny has happened to Satan’s plans to enslave the world on the way to the consummation of the age.

Not only did a major actor in Satan’s script that was meant to pervert history slip from his genocidal grip, but that script has become totally convoluted. I’m referring here to Israel–the nation and the chosen people—the destruction of whom Satan’s minions, the Nazis, and their Fuhrer, failed to complete in implementing the Final Solution.

Like the creators of Something Funny… I use the term “funny” in an oblique definition—to say that an odd –ironic– thing has happened to the devil’s plan to completely eradicate the Jews of the world.

Not only did Hitler fail to complete his satanically assigned task to forever destroy the Jewish people through the Holocaust, but he unwittingly accomplished the following:

1)     Hitler and his Third Reich brought on God’s Genesis 12 curse, and they were themselves completely destroyed.

2)     Hitler’s actions brought about the rebirth of Israel in a single day, fulfilling prophecy.

3)     The Fuhrer’s vaunted Luftwaffe, which terrorized all of Europe, now has become an ally of the military of God’s chosen nation.

The following news excerpt frames the story.

Germany welcomed military aircraft from Israel to its airspace on Thursday in their first joint combat exercises in German territory as both air forces praised the intensive cooperation between the two countries.

“It was very emotional for us when, one after the other, the first Israeli jets arrived here in German airspace,” a spokesman for the German Luftwaffe told the German news agency DPA

“Nowadays, we have a very intense partnership with the Israelis,” spokesman Thorsten Weber said. “We work closely together, we do exercises together, German soldiers are being trained in Israel.”…

During the Third Reich, Nazi Germany murdered 6 million European Jews and others in the Holocaust. Relations between Israel and Germany were difficult in the first decades after the end of the war, but have been growing closer together over the years…

Nowadays, Germany is one of Israel’s staunchest supporters. (“Germany Welcomes Israeli Air Force for First Joint Exercise,” AP, August 20, 2020)

It seems a strange, convoluted, turn of events to be sure. Thinking on the death camps and the horrors of the crematoria across parts of Nazi-occupied Europe, it hardly seems that enough time has elapsed to allow such an alliance.

But in strange times we are. Bible prophecy foretells that an even more horrific time is coming for Israel than it suffered in time of WW II. There is a holocaust that awaits fulfillment, regardless of the present-day alliance between the Jewish state and the nation that perpetrated unspeakable atrocities three quarters of a century ago.

The prophetic Word tells that the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) is yet to produce another effort at Satan’s Final Solution. It will take place during Daniel’s seventieth week, the last seven years known as the Tribulation. Jesus said that it will be the worst time in human history (Matthew 24: 21).

Most of this generation has forgotten Hitler’s all-out assault against the Jews–the matter he called “the Jewish problem.” Even many Jews in America and around the world seem to have forgotten—despite their progenitors who lived through the horror and who declared “never again!”

But it will happen again, and it will be exponentially worse, according to Christ’s own forewarning.

Because so many know little to nothing about that time of World War II or of that time Jesus said will be the worst time of evil ever upon the earth, we decided to produce a book dedicated to explaining all involved in Hitler’s first genocidal “Final Solution” and of Antichrist’s even more horrific “Final Solution” that is soon to come.

Dr. Thomas Horn contacted me several months ago, and we discussed just how crucial it is that this truth about Satan’s murderous plans for the Jews and all of humanity be brought to this unknowing generation. The results are our book, just released.

ANTICHRIST and The Final Solution is the result of intensive research that thoroughly covers every important detail, from Hitler’s first attempt at the Final Solution to Antichrist’s terrible attempt at completing Satan’s hellish assault on humanity.

We carry through in a detailed and easy-to-follow unfolding of prophecy what will happen next as history moves forward toward Christ’s Second Advent, the Millennium, and the remaking of the heavens and the earth.

We believe this explanation of things soon to come should be in the hands of every member of the younger generation, many of whom have little or no idea of why things are getting more chaotic and where it’s all going. Tom and I hope that many, upon reading this book, will be convicted that only Jesus Christ truly has the “Final Solution that can bring peace and salvation to the people of this sin-doomed world system.

One major signal just leaped to the top of God’s prophetic timeline. Israel and her traditional enemies, the Arabs, have agreed to full normalization of relations.

While the agreement, to be soon formalized at a White House signing, isn’t an agreement of peace in terms of a full peace treaty between Israel and all its Arab neighbors, it is the first time in twenty-five years that such an agreement has been reached. The first was between Israel and Egypt, when Jimmy Carter, Israel Prime Minister Menachem Began, and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat came together in 1978. The second was in 1994 when Israel and Jordan signed a similar agreement. Both treaties have held relatively firm since their signings.

This agreement is between the UAE (United Arab Emirates)—a Gulf state—and Israel. Israel agreed to suspend its planned extension of sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria to facilitate relations with the UAE and potentially other Arab and Muslim countries. The action has, as might be expected, brought praise and condemnation from various parties involved in international relations.

Among prophecy watchers, it has stirred much punditry, as does any activity involving Israel and the peace process. The big question some are asking: Is this peace signing the one that will eventually bring about the covenant made with death and hell as foretold in Daniel 9:26–27 and Isaiah 28:15, 18?

According to the Jerusalem Post:

The agreement will include establishing embassies and exchanging ambassadors, investments into the Israeli economy, trade, direct flights between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi, an investment in Israeli efforts to develop a corona virus vaccine – as first reported in The Jerusalem Post last month – and cooperation in matters of energy and water. An important element of the deal for the UAE is the expectation that its citizens would be able to visit the Al-Aksa mosque in Jerusalem. (Lahav Harkov, “Third-ever Peace Treaty between Israel and an Arab State Includes Embassies, Direct Flights; Agreement “Suspends” Annexation, but Netanyahu Says: ‘I will never give up on our right to our land,’” Jerusalem Post, Omri Nahmias, 8/14/2020)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the deal “full, formal peace” with “one of the strongest countries in the world.”

“Together we can bring a wonderful future. It is an incomparably exciting moment,” he said. “I have the great privilege to make the third peace treaty between Israel and an Arab country, the UAE.”

In a post to his Twitter account, President Donald Trump said: “Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East’s most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations.”

Speaking further in the Oval Office, Trump indicated he anticipated “many more countries” in the region normalizing ties with Israel and “some very exciting things including, ultimately, with the Palestinians.”

The Israeli prime minister said he has “reason to be very optimistic that the announcement with the UAE will be joined by more countries in this expanding circle of peace.”

Palestinian leadership and Iranian leadership are among those not happy with the peace-making effort. But others of the Arab world believe it to be in their best interest to see stability in the region that such an arrangement will bring.

Most Arab leaders who see the advantages are pleased that Israel has put on hold the annexation of much of the Jordanian territory they had been seeking to implement.  Netanyahu made it plain that the agreement in no way is giving up Israel land for a peace arrangement. In this regard, making the agreement, which includes no giving up of Israeli territory, breaks tradition of other efforts at peace, in which the Jewish state had to agree to give away parcels of land to get Arab agreement.

The agreement “ushers in a new era of peace between Israel and the Arab world,” Netanyahu said.

Many Bible prophecy students who observe developments see this as a major event in bringing about the wrap-up of the age. Considering all the other issues and events that seem to be converging at such a torrid pace, it is more than understandable that Israel making such an agreement brings sharp observation and commentary.

One such pundit believes that French President Emmanuel Macron is the number-one candidate to be Antichrist. According to many, Macron exhibits many of the characteristics of that future man of sin.

Macron immediately asserted his strong support and intention to get involved in the new peace agreement in several statements. The French president’s comments brought some strong opinions including from the aforementioned writer, who writes the following:

Emmanuel Macron has now officially inserted himself into not only the Middle East on multiple levels, he has also just given himself a seat in the “Abraham Accord” announced by President Trump and Jared Kushner yesterday…

This is the beginning of the Daniel 9:27 covenant with “death and Hell.” This is it, and Emmanuel Macron is the man of sin.

While I’m not prepared to make bold declarations such as naming Antichrist, nor even to declare this to be the beginning of that apocalyptic false peace, I can certainly join in the exuberance in pointing to where this generation almost certainly stands on God’s prophetic timeline.
