In my last posting at FiveDoves I brought up the fact that November has been a most interesting month for the Jewish People and Israel.  In Nov. of 1917 the Balfour Declaration began Jewish immigration into Palestine, in Nov. of 1947 the U.N. Mandate established Israel's right to soon become a nation (May of 1948), and in Nov. of 1977 the "Middle East peace process" as we know it today began with Sadat of Egypt flying to Jerusalem and addressing the Israeli Knesset (parliament).  Each of these Novembers were separated by exactly 30 years.  Now another big November is approaching--Nov. of 2007, exactly 30 years after the Middle East peace process began.

I will say right here that it is my personal opinion that very likely something huge will be added to the timeline this November relative to the Jewish people and Israel.  I hope that all of you know the significance of the number "30" from a biblical standpoint.  Jesus was 30 when he began his ministry, David became king of Judah at the age of 30 (II Sam. 5:4), and in Num. 4 the Jewish people were "numbered" from the age of 30 up to 50.  I have always looked at the number "30" as being a time of "coming of age" or you might say arriving at "priesthood".  It has also been of personal relevance to me.  I am a Jewish Christian, and I accepted Christ at the age of 29 1/2.  Right after turning 30 I taught end time Bible prophecy for the very first time.

Since there was exactly a 30 year time period of Jewish immigration into Palestine, and then a 30 year time period of Israel having been established with constant war with its neighbors (and no peace process), why would this next 30 year time period of "searching for Middle East peace" not end without something very big occurring?  It is important to understand that two "peaces" are coming for the Middle East.  First a false peace from the antichrist, and then seven years later Jesus brings the true peace that will last for the next 1000 years and beyond.  What makes the most sense for November of 2007 is the false peace, but that we can only guess at and cannot know for sure till this fall arrives.  The good news, or I should say GREAT NEWS, is that if the Middle East false peace (Daniel 9:27 covenant) was this November, the Rapture would be occurring sometime before that false peace!

I promised to tell you in this posting why November is such an interesting month relative to the seven Jewish feasts of Lev. 23 and the Tribulation Period.  Unfortunately I have run out of time today to compose this posting.  I will be back to you sometime in the coming few days to a week, so say cool and do not flip out until I present the rest of this material..........
