Hi John and Doves,

A short article that emphasises that this so-called normalisation deal with Saudi Arabia contains many landmines for Israel. The current pressure on Israel is immense. It's coming from all sides - particularly the United States. They are desperate to get this 'deal' signed, done and dusted. With the Netanyahu government's current internal turmoil (Judicial Reform plus the weapons and vehicle transfer to the P.A) I can see how destructive panicked decisions may be made.

All this noise has made me realise just how much Israel is being pushed into a corner. Almighty God is allowing this because it is obviously CRUNCH TIME. Israel needs to make a choice between placating the foreign (and internal) powers-that-be OR they must Return to God. Return to the Torah. Over and over again, Almighty God has told Israel to trust Him. That He will make mincemeat out of their enemies if Israel trusts Him - returns to Him. Tragically, prophecy tells us that Israel will make the wrong decision - unleashing the Wrath of God. We are all keenly aware of the prophecies.

Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Please come, LORD Jesus.
