Time Is Running Out

As I’ve stated on the top of this site, this blog is about looking forward to the return of the rightful ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ. He told us in Matthew 24 of some of the signs that we could look for in identifying the season for His return and the establishment of His literal reign on earth.


I haven’t blogged as much as some may have hoped, not as much as I had expected, but I got caught up in life and my family with a wonderful wife and two precious boys. I don’t want to sacrifice that, as I know that my family is my primary ministry, to my wife and my sons, raising them to be godly young men.



But as I’ve noted before, Israel is God’s Timeclock. And time is drawing to a close for the Obama Administration to facilitate a peace treaty between Israel and the PA (Muslims). Israel has bent over backward to give concessions in order to show goodwill towards peace. Abbas has done little to make goodwill gestures to the Jewish people.



Danny Ayalon in the guardian.co.uk notes:

Palestinians have quietly been allowed to regress from the conventional positions, many of which they formerly accepted, that are essential for any peace process. For example, the murder of four Israelis by Palestinian terrorists on 31 August, on the eve of negotiations, did not induce Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, to withdraw from peace talks. Yet the construction of a few apartments in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, has been viewed by many as a justifiable excuse for the Palestinians to walk out.

Evidently, even the lady who shattered the glass ceiling is giving up on the idea of negotiating peace between Israel and the Muslim parties in control.

"As much as the United States and other nations around the world want to see a resolution to this conflict, only the parties themselves can take the difficult steps that will lead to peace. That is why the Obama administration is working so hard to support direct talks that offer a forum for both sides to grapple with the core issues in good faith. There is no substitute for face-to-face discussion and, ultimately, for an agreement that leads to a just and lasting peace. That is the only path that will lead to the fulfillment of the Palestinian national aspirations and the necessary outcome of two states for two peoples."

What’s interesting about this is that this is setting the conditions that will be met as spelled out in the Bible, that the small ‘horn’ or ruler that arises out of the global government will make a strong (Hb. Gabar) covenant for seven years (Dan. 9:27, 11:28, 30, 32), a peace treaty in the Middle East, which no one has been able to establish. For this the world will follow this leader.



With the human governments of this world concluding that they have done all there is to do, and seeing the pressure intensify between the Jews and all the Muslim countries which surround them, the time is soon approaching.



Daniel 7:25 25 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.
