The United Nations vs. The Everlasting Covenant
The United Nations vs. The Everlasting Covenant
By John McTernan, Ph.D.
This September
could see a showdown between the United Nations and Israel. The Palestinians
along with their supporters are determined to create a Palestinian state with
Jerusalem as its capital. They plan on taking this issue to the United Nations
General Assembly to declare a Palestinian state, of course, with Jerusalem as the
capital. The Palestinians have boldly laid out their strategy to destroy Israel
in stages.
The first stage
is obtaining legitimacy through the United Nations. They plan on having the UN
recognize a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. From there, they will
push for the 1948 borders, which would drastically reduce the size of Israel.
After this Israel would be so weak, it would be easy to destroy. They also
intend on using violence if Israel does not go along.
The Israelis
have stated they will not divide Jerusalem, and they will not go back to the
1967 borders. This could lead to an awesome confrontation between the
Palestinians and Israel. The Palestinians would have many nations of the world
supporting them.
The problem for
the Palestinians and their supporters is that the God of Israel has made an
everlasting covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants over the
land. The UN will be in direct conflict with the Holy God of Israel. The Jewish
people have a right to this land based on the everlasting covenant;
Psalm 105:8-11
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto
Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot
of your inheritance.
There are many
warnings in the Bible about interfering with God’s prophetic plan of restoring
Israel and specifically not to divide the land.
Joel 3:13 For,
behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity
of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them
down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my
people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations,
and parted my land.
In May, President
Obama added to this pressure on Israel. He stated the official US policy is
that Israel is to create a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, which
means dividing Jerusalem! He agreed with the Palestinians and many nations in
the UN. The President actually made two speeches in May. The second was on May
22, and during this speech, he reaffirmed the dividing of Jerusalem.
Within hours of
this speech, a powerful tornado storm tore through Missouri and devastated
Joplin. It was one of the most destructive tornadoes in US history with high
loss of life and billions of dollars in property damage. The key is this storm hit just
a few hours after the president’s speech to divide Israel. The President speech
and the destruction were headlines together on all the news services. This
devastation follows a pattern in America since President George H. W. Bush
started the “Peace Process” to divide Israel in 1991 and continues to this day!
There have been dozens and dozens
of devastating disasters that have hit America at the very time the nation is
pressuring Israel to divide the land. This includes Hurricane Katrina.
In September
2008, President George W. Bush was trying to divide Israel and Jerusalem. In the
midst of this effort, Lehman Brothers collapsed resulting in a stock market
crash. What is amazing is the crash occurred on three specific days which all
fell on biblical fall feasts! At the very time the President was moving to
divide Jerusalem, the US and world economy was crashing!
On September
29, 2008, the great stock market meltdown of 777 points took place. This day was also
the biblical feast of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This 777-point fall
was the greatest one-day crash in history. The next biblical holiday, Yom
Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, takes place ten days after Rosh Hashanah; this
ten-day gap between the two holidays is called the “Days of Awe.” During the
“Days of Awe,” the world markets began to collapse until, on Yom Kippur,
October 9, the market fell 679 points for the third greatest one-day crash. The
next biblical holiday, the Feast of Tabernacles, fell on October 15. On this
day, the stock market fell 737 points for its second-greatest one-day fall. On
these three biblical holidays, the market dropped a total of 2,193 points! To
this day, the US economy has not recovered.
The above
examples are just a few of the disasters that have hit America since the US
promoted the “peace plan” to divide Israel. Now in September it is possible
that the UN will try and create a Palestinian state by dividing Israel and
Jerusalem. In principle, the President already agrees with this, which has
placed America in great danger with God.
The UN General
Assembly will be meeting in mid-September and should be discussing and debating
the Palestinian state near the end of the month. The biblical holiday of Rosh
Hashanah falls on September 28 which is the very time the UN will be debating
this issue! Yom Kippur then falls on October 7, while the Feast of Tabernacles
is on October 12. It is very possible that the division of Jerusalem will once
again be the lead issue during the time of the biblical feasts as it was on
2008!
Also coinciding
with the United Nation’s meeting is the arrival of the Comet Elenin. Normally,
the arrival of a comet is not of great significance, but there is something
different about this comet. As the Comet Elenin approaches the earth,
incredible earthquakes are occurring, when there is an alignment between the
sun, earth and this comet. Even when the comet was a great distance from the
earth, when this alignment occurred, powerful and mega earthquakes struck. A
few examples of these earthquakes follow:
- February 20 2008 Indonesia 7.4
- February 25 2008 Indonesia 7.2
- September 09 2009 Sunola islands 8.1
- February 26 2010 Japan 7.0
- February 27 2010 Chile 8.8 [Earth knocked off axis]
- May 9, 2010 Indonesia 7.2
- September 3, 2010 New Zealand 7.0
- March 11 2011 Japan 9.0 [Earth knocked off axis]
In early
September, the comet will cross earth’s orbit and be between the earth and the
sun. Then on September 26, there will be an alignment with the sun, comet, and
earth. This could be at the exact time the UN is debating the creation of a
Palestinian state! The comet will be closest to the earth around October 15,
which is during the Feast of Tabernacles. At this time, the earth will pass
directly behind the comet as it crosses earth’s orbit. This comet has a
hyperbolic orbit which means it will never return.
It is very
possible that three incredible events are going to occur at the same time this
September. The United Nations could be debating the dividing of Israel and
Jerusalem in direct violation of the world of God. This will happen during the
biblical Fall feasts. At this very time, a comet that seems to have a strange
affect on earthquakes will be inside earth’s orbit and aligning itself with the
sun and earth! It is very possible that there could be powerful disasters
hitting the earth this September/October, as the world comes against Israel.
