| Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud |
2 April 2018: In an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic published just a couple of hours ago, 32-year old crown prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud (a/k/a MbS), the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was asked "whether he believed the Jewish people have a right to a nation-state in at least part of their ancestral homeland," his response was, "I believe that each people, anywhere, has a right to live in their peaceful nation. I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land."
Eschatology Today paid close attention to what MbS said and, primarily, the manner in which he said it. The syntax used was a deliberate choice of carefully positioned words. I believe that the first sentence of MbS statement qualifies his second sentence. The crown prince is talking about any nation-state of people being able to live peacefully within their nation.
As we are all very well aware from prophetic Scripture (Psalm 83) and from the 70-year history of Israel's existence as a nation-state, Israel living in peace within their nation-state has never been something HAMAS, the PLO and other terrorist organizations and many people within the so-called "Palestinian" community will agree with. It has not been something that Lebanon and that nation's power-broker Iranian-led Hezbollah, or Syria, have agreed with either for the past 70 years. All of these call regularly for Israel's destruction.
So, what the crown prince is saying is that IF the Palestinians want to live peacefully in their own nation-state, then they must agree to allow Israel to do the same. And vice versa. This is very likely an unintentional give-away of the peace agreement that is being negotiated quietly between the United States, Israel and the Saudi-led GCC. Put another way, as you might expect of Eschatology Today, this is likely an unintended give-away of the peace agreement that "Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish and all their young lions" (Ezekiel 38:13 NKJV) are quietly negotiating sub rosa, as Mr. Goldberg adeptly noted.
In another sense, The Atlantic interview and article also provides a timely benchmark for the progress continually noted in these SITREPS regarding the anti-Iranian (Jeremiah 49:34-39) alliance taking shape very rapidly and especially in the early few months of this year. In this Middle East, the Middle East of 2017-2018, it is as if the so-called 'red lines' are meant to be crossed. And crossed they must be for that is what Bible prophecy tells us. Crossing red lines means usually war, the same kinds of prophetic wars we have been told by our Savior Jesus Christ must take place. The end is not yet, but we're certainly, inexorably, getting there.
Marana'tha!
To me this is a magnitude 9.0 on the prophetic richter scale. This was basically dipping the toe in the water to check for temperature and to prepare the world for THE peace plan I think. Maybe I'm overstating that, but I've suspected that this deal has been an ongoing negotiation since DT took office. The new Saudi king (MBS) seems to be a catalyst to some pretty big developments. Regardless, we are closer today.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteWhat is your take on the news that Pres. Trump (seemingly urgently) wants to pull out of Syria?
Nora,
ReplyDeleteIt's more a redeployment than a hasty pull-out.
This will not be a repeat of the Obama disaster of 2010.
Islamic State will be eradicated, the Kurds assured of autonomy, and CJTF-OIR boots remain nearby just in case.
Hi Sean and everybody. I have been a follower here for over a year now. Great site. Never posted before because of being so young in my walk with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteMy question is with this redeployment out of Syria, do you think that President Trump knows the lateness of the hour and what will become of Damascus, Syria? Maybe that is playing into what he is thinking? Even so, Maranatha! Doug W.
Doug,
DeleteThe CInC said he was thinking about this, no redeployment out of Syria has been so ordered. He will not make BHOs mistake.
Wow Doug....haven’t considered that angle. That is an eyebrow raising scenario!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sean, that's good to know!
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteJust received an update that a 5.3 earthquake has hit Oxnard, California area (about 38.5 miles out to sea) and if that is so then that circle will have a quick response. Oxnard is where a whole lot of Oklahoma residents migrated to during the Dust Bowl Days but even more recently during the WW2 defense manufacturing taking place there. Please keep them all in prayers.

About Syria: No comment. The country is in the midst of prophetic fulfillment as everyone who reads this blog is well aware. Events must take their course.
ReplyDeleteNew U.S. NSA John Bolton has not sat in his chair yet; meeting w/ POTUS & Cabinet scheduled for this AM.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteJust received a notice from Rapture Ready headlined with "Was Monday's Missile Strike in Syria the Damascus Fire Prohesied by Jeremiah?" and I posted something similar on Twitter today. But I found some information on that article named above that you might find sound enough to share. I don't hold with the Kabbalah sect but then I am not a scholar in this either. I enclose the link and if you find it acceptable, feel free to publish.
But there are many voices out there in cyberland that are stating the 49th chapter of Jeremiah and not a squeak from the liberal voices.

FYI..
ReplyDeleteWithout question the war prophesied by Asaph in Psalm 83 HAS NOT YET seen complete fulfillment. The plain text of Psalm 83 makes this clear, as also the companion prophecies of Isaiah 11 and Ezekiel 28:24-26 make clear.
These three prophesies are inerrant and will achieve fulfillment to the letter at the appointed pre-70th Week time.
