Abraham Accord

Abraham Accord

Presumably this is called the Abraham accord because all the nations surrounding Israel are considered to be descendants of Abraham and all claim Abraham as their father and are counted as belonging to the Abrahamic faiths. 

Of course, we cynically refer it to the promise given to Abraham in Gen 15: 18-21 which covenanted the land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.  At the time the promise was given ten nations were enumerated as already dwelling in the land. Undoubtedly, the promise given to Abraham formed the basis of the Greater Israel or Yinon Plan:

 The beast is rising

One article puts it like this:

"Bahrain is fully ready as it has opened its interfaith dialogue forums to Israelis years ago. Oman and Kuwait will be watching. But the big prize – the one that would shift the ground in the Middle East – is none other than Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a friend and ally to Mohammed bin Zayed, and the young Saudi prince has already launched the greatest reform in the history of the Kingdom. He has been behind the Gulf diplomatic renaissance – along with Trump since the Riyadh summit. But he must carefully complete his deep reforms at home in order for him to lead the Arab Coalition on the road to Jerusalem, to pray in peace."

 

Israel (using the USA) has already fragmented the Middle East.  The attack on Beirut  and the burning of the wheat harvest in Syria has left them vulnerable. Of course, Israel blames Hezbollah for the Beirut attack. Iran is under increasing pressure and the Palestinians are constantly bombed. It is only a matter of time before they all bow the knee to Israel.

So, the wonderful new peace is celebrated – but is it really peace?

The Jews heal the world

The Christian-Zionist website Breaking News Israel now called Israel 365 News prefaces an article about the normalization of flights with the following quote (emphasis mine):

In those days, ten men from nations of every tongue will take hold—they will take hold of every Yehudi by a corner of his cloak and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Hashem is with you.” Zechariah 8:23 (The Israel BibleTM)

https://www.israel365news.com/158210/saudi-arabia-bahrain-agree-to-open-airspace-to-flights-east-from-israel/

There are a few things to note here. Firstly the mention of ten nations – the same number appears in Gen 15 and Rev 17 and secondly this translation is tendentious as it comes from their own translation (Israel BibleTM) even the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) renders it differently:

JPS Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'

 

The original text renders a Jew (singular) not every Jew (Yehudi). The Jew being referenced here is the Messiah – Jesus Christ – otherwise called Immanuel or God with us.  The translation offered to Christians by the Israel Bible is deceptive.  It is the work of Jacob the deceiver.  The Jews talk about Tikun Olam or “heal the world” but by that they mean subject the world and impose their will. Collectively the Jewish nation is not able to heal anyone. It cannot even heal itself. And the Jewish nation will have no lasting peace until it makes peace with God.

Will the real Cyrus stand-up?   Cyrus seems to replicating like a virus.

 

 

 

 

Trump as Cyrus:

Has Yahweh Grasped Him By His Right Hand?

A good article by Laurent Guyénot  (January 7 Unz review)  of particular interest to me because I have written extensively on Cyrus.  For my comment (at the Unz review comment section) look under secondElijah.

A Purim “miracle”?

Posted on

A recent article began thus;

“Is an apocalyptic war on Iran by the US and Israel coming, driven by American Evangelical “rapture” theology of end times prophecy? Pompeo’s latest suggestion that God “raised Trump for such a time as this” doesn’t bode well for the region, or at least for those who hope to avoid a WWIII scenario. Apparently, Pompeo truly believes that Trump was sent by God to save Israel, and that the Golan is to be the first US bestowed “gift” bringing the world closer to “end times” fulfillment.

Trump is prepared to recognize the Golan heights as belonging to Israel:

This is indeed a Purim “miracle” causing his Secretary of State to find parallels between Trump and Queen Esther.

EXCLUSIVE Secretary of State Pompeo to CBN News: God May Have Raised Up Trump Like He Raised Up Queen Esther

http://www1.cbn.com/content/why-pompeo-says-trump-possible-queen-esther-poised-defend-israel

This has me rather confused as I thought Trump was Cyrus? Perhaps he is both as the Christian-Zionist website suggests:

Is Trump Cyrus or Esther?
Is Trump Cyrus or Esther?

 

Trump Channeling Cyrus on Purim: US Will Recognize Israel’s Sovereignty Over Golan:

https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/125083/trump-channeling-cyrus-on-purim-us-will-recognize-israels-sovereignty-over-golan/

Well, whether he is a King or a Queen he certainly supports Israel….I wonder what his “peace” plan has in store? Both Muslims, Jews and Christian-Zionists believe they can force the return of the “messiah” (or install their own messiah/mahdi) if they foment enough trouble in the Middle East……is it a case of “build it and he will come”…..or…“destroy it and he will come”? In any case Christian-Zionists will be safe as they will be “Raptured” away (including Pompeo Secretary of State):

 

All is well:

What do Donald Trump and Cyrus have in common?

Posted on

 

Question: What do Donald Trump and Cyrus the Great have in common?

Answer:  According to the Jews they are both the Lord’s anointed.

 

 

Rabbi Berger[1] believes that President Trump’s election has already begun this process. The rabbi noted that Donald Trump’s name in Hebrew (דונלד טראמפ) in gematria (numerology based on Hebrew letters) equals 424 – which is the same numerical value of the phrase, “Moshiach (Messiah) from the House of David (משיח בן דוד).”

“But Donald Trump is not righteous enough or knowledgeable in Bible to actually be the Messiah,” Rabbi Berger noted.[2] “Trump’s connection to the Messiah is that he will play a role in one of the major functions of the Messiah. He will pave the way for building the Third Temple.”

“Trump will not personally merit building the Temple,” he continued. “Like Cyrus, he will pave the way for men who will begin the construction, and when the time is right, the Third Temple will descend from heaven.”

 

Of course, our commentary on Daniel makes it clear that the “Lord’s anointed” in Isa 45 is a reference to Hezekiah (the suffering servant) NOT TO CYRUS.  There was a Jewish exilic faction that pushed an agenda for an early restoration and they deliberately interpreted the “workman” (karash) of the Lord as Koresh (Cyrus). The same strategy is being used 2,000 years later, namely; pointing out to a foreign ruler that they have been chosen to fulfil prophecy and restore Jewish fortunes.

 

In the end Cyrus did very little (as most scholars acknowledge).  It was during the reign of Darius the Great (21 years later cf. Dan 10.) that the temple was restored.[3]

[2] Perhaps the Rabbi should also have mentioned that the “Donald” is not from the tribe of David, that he is a gentile and a Catholic to boot!  I suppose beggars can’t be choosers.

[3] Trump has already done more than Cyrus did….at least he has restored the US embassy to Jerusalem!
