(AP) Emboldened by a supportive White House, Israel appears to be barreling toward a showdown with the international community over its half-century-old settlement enterprise in the West Bank. With the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court poised to launch a war crimes probe of Israel’s settlement policies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced plans to move ahead with the potentially explosive annexation of large parts of the occupied West Bank, including dozens of Jewish settlements. “History is knocking at the door,” Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, a patron of the settler movement, said as he urged Netanyahu to immediately annex all of Israel’s settlements and snuff out any hopes for Palestinian independence. “Take everything now.”
Dennis Edwards: Many Bible scholars believe that it will take an international agreement to bring peace in the Middle East. They see the "Holy Covenant" of Daniel 9 and 11 as such an agreement. The author of the agreement may very well be a formidable political and military leader who later invades Israel and declare himself world dictator and commonly known as the Antichrist.
The continuing problem in the Middle East, the climate change crisis, Pope Francisco's call for a new educational approach to climate change and a world summit on May 14th this year, Greta, Corona-virus in China, the financial dept crisis situation in the world, Isabel Santo's corruption case in Angola, etc, all these crisis, and others crisis like them, are calling the world to form a one-world government to deal with these problems. Many Bible scholars believe that some sort of one-world government will come on the scene soon as predicted in the Bible. Usually an international crisis or war helps things move faster in the direction the hidden financial leaders of the world want things to go. Could the present virus in China be the epidemic needed to help bring in one-world government?
Israel will be invaded and the Antichrist will make a stand in Jerusalem and call for a forced monitary system using some sort of biometric reading with a chip embedded in the right hand or forehead. No one will be able to buy of sell without complying to the biometric economic system implemented by the one-world government under the Antichrist.
The breaking of the "covenant" or international agreement by the Antichrist and the setting of the abomination of desolations in the temple in Jerusalem are the signs given by Jesus as a warning that the great tribulation, the most horrible period of mankind's history will begin to take place. Apostle Paul warns us that we shall see the Antichrist sit in the temple of God calling himself God. Both prophets Daniel and Apostle John warn of the dire persecution which shall be meted out against God's people who refuse to accept the biometric mark and conform to the new laws implemented by the Antichrist prohibitting religious worship.
Jesus Himself warned that "there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginnings of sorrows." Is the corona-virus one of the epidemics or pestilences that Jesus spoke of? Or is it just another scare tactic to bring on more global government and control? Whatever it may be, we as Christians are warned to "fear not" some 365 times in God's Word. God doesn't want us to fear or have the spirit of fear. He has given us power, and love and a sound mind besides multiple promises in His Word to be with us no matter what we go through or what happens in the world.
Take heart, Christian soldier, God is with you and will keep you and you will be more than conquerors through Him that loves you. God has told us He will be our refuge and strength, our fortress in time of trouble. He has told us that he will deliver us from the "noisome pestilence ...that walks in darkness." It might be good to put to heart Psalm 91 and or Psalm 46 or Psalm 23 to remind you of God's unfailing faithfulness to His children. Memorize Scripture and resist the Devil.
