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.
