There have been a lot of quotations made on this blog relative to the signing of seven year covenant by the Antichrist. The covenant is re-quoted below.The signing of the covenant is quite significant as it not heralds the return of the Lord Jesus Christ back onto the earth, but also it heralds the beginning of seven years of tribulation spelling the end of mankind’s existence here on the earth as we know it. This information is not intended to frighten but only to inform!!!
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27.
There is news now starting to emerge that a peace plan will be announced in a few weeks by the US president Barak Obama. At this stage I do not know any of the details of the plan, BUT, if it were to be seven year Middle East peace treaty between Israel and all of the Arab states in the region then that is the one we have been looking for.
No I am NOT saying President Obama is the Antichrist.
However news reported by the Times on line (here) suggest we may be on the verge of an historic, and perhaps prophetic, step forward in the preparation for the appearance of the Antichrist; that is if he has not already been revealed in the form the previous British Prime Minister and current head of the international quartet of four towards Middle East peace -- Tony Blair
Times online announced Obama is close to revealing the Middle East peace plan within weeks.
What makes this peace plan different from the rest that have gone before is the suggestion that this plan will include / involve not only Israel and the Palestinians but Syria, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, see the aforementioned
Thus Daniel 9:27 takes on even more significance when we read "......he shall confirm the covenant with the many...."
Now this does not mean Obama is the Man of Sin but if he isn't then he is paving the way for the coming Antichrist to "confirm" (rubber stamp) the covenant with the "many".
The word "confirm" in the Old Testament is an interesting one. Because it not only can mean to strengthen the covenant but it also means to "act insolently".
Sort of conjures up the picture of Antichrist Chuck Misler gives when he calls this coming evil person "Mr. Big Mouth".
Another interesting development along the same lines is the recent UPI news (here) of a report outlining the details of a future Palestinian State.
We know the Antichrist will base himself and his forces in Israel so the fact that the above report mentions 3 times the deployment of a "multinational force" on the borders, in the Old City of Jerusalem and (now get this, prophecy buffs) they will also be stationed on the Temple Mount, could also be very significant.
Remember the word "could". This means we take note but do not shout to the world that this is it.
Things are moving very fast and we can only do as I always say, do as the master said and "Watch".
May Messiah bless you until next time?
