TRUMP VOIDS IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL MID-EAST TENSIONS BOIL

President Trump backed out of the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday May 8th in keeping with his campaign promise that it was a “horrible deal.” The ramifications of pulling out of the deal certainly have prophetic implications for coming events in the Middle East. There is more behind this than meets the eye.

President Trump and his son-in-law Jerad Kushner have been working behind the scenes to broker the ultimate peace deal with the Palestinians and Israel. Mr. Kushner has been wooing Saudi Arabia since Mr. Trump was elected President. He is sort of an unofficial representative of the US in the Middle East. https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2018/02/jared-kushners-quiet-middle-east.html

Mr. Trump would like to broker the biggest deal of all time: Peace in the Middle East. Inside sources say the administration is putting a plan together. https://www.axios.com/trump-may-present-middle-east-peace-plan-without-palestin-1517504081-af6aabf0-76c5-4994-9d37-1dc203a411c3.html

This plan would divide the city of Jerusalem giving the Israelis the western portion and the Palestinians the eastern portion of the city. The Prophet Zechariah said the city would be divided in the last days prior to the Lord of Host arrival (Zechariah 14).

In the past the Israelis have vowed to never divide the city again. In the 1967 war the Israelis captured the eastern portion of Jerusalem from Jordan. They have possessed the entire city since then. It would be a major concession if they agreed to the dividing of Jerusalem. I believe it would require the Palestinians agreeing to recognize Israel’s right to exist. It seems impossible—but Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled.

The question is how will the city be divided? Will it be negotiated peacefully or forcefully? Zechariah seems to indicate the city will be forcefully divided. That actually could be a negotiation that is disagreeable to Israel. Time will tell us, but the dividing of Jerusalem is a key indicator of the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” coming upon the world. Jerusalem will be a stumbling stone to all (Zechariah 12.3).

The immediate results of Mr. Trump’s decision to void the Iran deal has been a strengthening of the U$ dollar. 10 year Treasury Bonds jumped to 3%. Our European allies were dismayed at the decision and will most likely continue with Iran. Ever so slowly America is being isolated on the world scene by Mr. Trump’s policies.

I believe this is God working through Mr. Trump to bring about His will. America is not going to be great again as we were. In fact, as posted earlier, I believe Mr. Trump is being used as Jeroboam II was in ancient Israel prior to their judgment through Assyrian attack. http://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2018/04/could-president-trumpspresidency-be.html

Judgment is coming on America. We have become a spoiled, immature, corrupted nation that acts like a silly dove (Hosea 7.11-16). All of the Lord’s judgments are righteous. He is preparing America for His judgment in a compassionate way which we do not understand.

He is slowly isolating America from the rest of the world. We have lost respect in Europe and South America. We are following Mr. Trump’s lead and acting unpredictably in all that we do on the world scene. This is God’s hand moving upon us, preparing us for the judgment to come.

There are two great oceans separating us from the rest of the world. Our military strength in based on projecting naval power. Our aircraft carriers are sitting ducks in a world of surface to air missile technology. Our financial system is on the verge of collapse. We are being prepared for captivity.

Captivity, however, can be a place of safety (Micah 2.12-13; Isaiah 63.1-6). Bozrah is in Edom, an enemy of Israel. Bozrah means “sheep pen” and it is a place to keep the sheep penned in or captive. God is preparing America for His judgment. He must judge us for our sins but He is going to do it in such a way that we will be preserved through isolation.

Once our power has been broken, the end time events will take place in Europe and the Middle East. Our isolation will be a Bozrah sheep pen of protection. We will be judged but God’s love for us will ultimately be our salvation. Note that the "Breaker" comes to the aid of the sheep who are being held in captivity. Our "Breaker" will come and save us after our chastisement.

Captivity can be a place of safety during judgment. Look how Judah prospered in Babylonian captivity when they were judged. Yahweh’s ways are above our ways. The will be grace in our trial and tribulation.

We are watching and praying as the Middle East is preparing for war. I am sure of one thing—Yeshua is coming and He will establish His Millennial Kingdom with Jerusalem as His capital city when the flames and dust settle.
