Thanks Adrian,
This is very interesting how it fits with Daniel 9:27.
It does not give a date for this referendum but
should not be far off.
"Binyamin Netanyahu is planning to
conduct the first popular referendum in Israel’s
history to ratify the amended peace framework
proposal which US Secretary of State John Kerry is
drafting for presentation in the coming weeks"
There has been much speculation
concerning the current peace initiative and the 'covenant
with the many' that 'he shall confirm' as prophesied in
Daniel 9:27. The Hebrew words allow a range of
interpretations; the most common English
translation suggests it will confirm an existing agreement
but it might alternatively mean to make a strong
covenant.
The timing is according to God's
plan and not in the hands of men. There have been many
previous 'peace' initiatives that have come to nothing,
because it was not yet God's time. Whether anything will
come of this one remains to be seen, however it is
possible that it is now God's time and this one really is
THE one.
What I find interesting and
significant about the reported plan for a referendum is
that it involves the majority of the Israeli
people directly in the making of the agreement.
Hitherto, the decisions have been made for them by
a few elected oligarchs. But the scripture does not
refer to rulers, it refers to the 'many'. This would
perfectly describe an agreement ratified by a popular
referendum.
I have personal experience of voting
in the referendum to determine whether Britain would
enter the Common Market. Using the knowledge
and discernment I have acquired since, my vote today
might be wiser than the choice I made then. Suffice it to
say that it is easy for the populace to be deceived and
the majority is not always right. It is not hard to
imagine that a referendum to enter into an unwise and
ungodly covenant might pass the popular vote.
