The Insidious Plot

 As readers of this space know, I have long believed that the Two State Solution is the trigger for the great end-times siege against Israel and Jerusalem. Something must be the trigger for such a completely outlandish scenario: an international coalition army invades Israel and arrives at the gates of Jerusalem. This is not some 8^th century Assyrian mob, or Rome’s 10^th Legion. No, this is a full-throated global attack on God’s People.

Thankfully, we still have the wisdom of the late great Dave Hunt. Today I saw this Facebook post from his page:

“Israel is the major topic of the Bible, occupying most of its pages. The many prophecies concerning its past, present, and future are vital in understanding God’s Word. Sadly, they are ignored, explained away, or simply rejected by the vast majority of professing Christians, a growing number of whom insist that Israel has been replaced by the church.”

It’s partly because of that terrible, terrible job the Church overall has done teaching God’s Word in the last two centuries that Israel is in peril, from a human perspective. Right now fighting a seven-front war, and what is being pushed?

A Palestinian state.

It’s madness.

“THE INSIDIOUS PLOT WILL POP UP EVERYWHERE

Trump’s Middle East Advisor Pushes for Palestinian Statehood

Massad Boulos, President-elect Donald Trump’s newly appointed advisor on Middle Eastern and Arab affairs, advocates for a roadmap toward Palestinian statehood as a prerequisite for normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

He emphasizes that while immediate statehood isn’t demanded, a clear vision and plan are essential.

CAN YOU SEE THE SERPENT?”

Yes, I can. From the moment I heard that Trump was appointing his son-in-law’s father as an advisor on the Middle East, I knew it was trouble.

And it’s obvious trouble. Like the kind you see your child about to get into so you warn him.

Sometimes us humans are just dumb. We do the obvious dumb things. Satan’s Two-State Solution plan, so clearly a lethal threat to Israel, is embraced by the “smart kids” in the room, those diplomats and politicians and media types (think the insufferable—and always wrong about the Middle East—Thomas Friedman, who rants and rails against Israel for not committing suicide).

It has also been embraced by too many religious types. The religious smart kids, the ones that covet approval and party invitations from those same ghouls in Washington and London and Paris. The ones that hate Israel every bit as much as the jihadists do and fight day and night to eradicate Israel.

This has always lingered in the background of a potential peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have been trying this for at least 20 years.

Boulos, born in Lebanon, has acted as a go-between for Trump and Mahmoud Abbas, that old devil that’s gotten rich as the lifetime president of the Palestinian Authority.

According to the Jerusalem Post:

“WASHINGTON — Massad Boulos, President-elect Donald Trump’s advisor on Middle Eastern and Arab affairs, said that the United States would have to discuss laying out a ‘roadmap’ to Palestinian statehood if it hopes to establish relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

“Saudi officials have long made it known that they would not establish ties with Israel absent progress toward a Palestinian state. But for Boulos — a Lebanese-American billionaire and the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany — to emphasize the point is significant because other Trump appointees, in addition to Trump himself, are seen as close to the Israeli right, which rejects Palestinian statehood.

“’I think the issue of a roadmap that would lead to a Palestinian state is an important part of the discussions between the United States and Saudi Arabia,’ Boulos said in a wide-ranging interview last week with Le Point, a French magazine. ‘It is certainly a very important point.’”

Is it? Why is it an important point?

It’s important for those that want to destroy Israel. A much-shrunken Jewish state, already tiny, would be hard-pressed to survive a 23^rd Arab state on its doorstep.

At a time when Trump’s second term is a huge Christmas present for Americans, those of us that love Israel and see her in Bible prophecy lament the mistake made by throwing-in with the likes of Massad Boulos.

It’s an Insidious Plot.

Syria has…fallen?

Boy oh boy, what mayhem Barack Obama has wrought in the Middle East. It’s now 2024, but we need to go back to 2011, when Barack and the CIA mucked around in Libya and then Syria. The ghastly Syrian Civil War erupted and basically continues to this day. That brought in the Russians, Iranians, and various rebel terror groups.

Ostensibly, this was to bring about the “Arab Spring,” which would “free” the Middle East.

That old tyrant and totalitarian knew it wouldn’t. Today, those regions are mired in chaos. Much speculation as to what is going to happen to Syria and Damascus in particular.

Isaiah 17 of course is the specific chapter from prophecy that talks about the destruction of Damascus.

Verse 3 says the royal power of Damascus will end; one could speculate now that that means Bashar Assad, the butcher-dictator successor to his butcher-dictator father, Hafez Assad.

(I would introduce the thought here that Isaiah 17 is describing also a time when Israel is down, is degraded in some way from what she has been. Look at the context of the whole chapter. Just a thought.)

There is no doubt that Damascus is in some peril right now. I don’t think we can be dogmatic about it prophetically, but the whole country is teetering.

I noticed this week that Barry Shaw, a terrific Israeli analyst on Facebook, posted this:

ERDOGAN – V- ASSAD.

Turkish President Erdogan addressed the recent progress of the rebels in Syria: “Idlib, Hama, Homs, and of course, the goal is Damascus. The opposition’s progress continues, and we hope it continues safely and without special incidents.”

Erdogan has signaled his proxy forces in Syria to go all the way and overthrow the Assad regime!

And Erdogan’s Turkey is a member of NATO turning Syria into a NATO war front.

Barry Shaw, Israel institute for Strategic Studies.

Hmm.

Truly, Syria is a hot pot of chaos. I also noted this week an X post by Mosab Hassan Yousef, “Son of Hamas,” a fellow that has seen the light. His insights are fascinating:

The illusion of “Palestine” is changing the world order in favor of Israel. The “Palestinian” slaughter of Jews on October 7 led to the destruction of Hamas, Hizbollah and led to an open war between Ayatollah and Israel which will eventually lead to the destruction of the Islamic republic. Hizbollah defeat in Lebanon encouraged Sunni Jihadists to launch a surprising assault against the Syrian dictator. Russia can’t save the Assad regime this time, Ayatollah hands are tied, and Hizbollah his greatest asset in the past is too weak to fight to his side. As a result Bashar al Assad will certainly fall. Sunni Jihadists will take over Syria for a while, this will result in a bloodbath between Sunni and Shi’i Muslims. The Islamic temporary unity against their common enemy Israel is coming to an end and Muslims are about to display their brutality aga coming to an end and Muslims are about to display their brutality against each other. I don’t know how long this new ugly Islamic war will last but I am certain that Israel will emerge as a superpower. Regimes will fall and rise as a result of the “Palestine” trigger. The black hole that will swallow its creators.

So he raises some fascinating points. His premise? Israel is on the ascent. I agree with him. At least short-term. In the near, Israel has gained at the very least great respect from her neighbors as they fight the dogs of terrorism.

The geopolitics and the machinations of good and bad rulers do nothing more than advance the plan that God alone knows. We watch Syria and we watch Damascus, and we most of all watch our Bible. Let’s let is play out and see where it lands.

And pray for the people of the Middle East that do not enjoy chaos, mayhem, and murder!
