Since
Israel became a nation in 1948, she has fought numerous wars with her
Arab neighbors. While Israel has won all of these wars, she may be
losing the "peace." In the June 1967 Six-Day War, Israel defeated
her Arab neighbors and captured the Biblical land of Judea and Samaria
(West Bank) and the city of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) became a
united city under Israeli control. The Biblical land of Judea and
Samaria is known in the Western world as the "West Bank." In the 1973
Yom Kippur War, Israel gained control of the Golan Heights. Following
these wars, the nation of Israel became increasingly interested in
having peace and entering into peace agreements with her Arab neighbors.
Therefore, in the years to come, Israel made peace agreements with Egypt
(1979) and with Jordan (1994). The United States became the facilitator
of these peace agreements.
In the
early 1990s, Israel began to enter into peace negotiations with the
Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). With the help of the United
States, the result of these peace negotiations was the signing of the
Declaration of Principles with the PLO (Oslo I) on September 13, 1993 at
the White House in Washington DC. With further help by the United
States, Israel and the PLO signed Oslo II in 1995. The Oslo Accords are
intended to become the framework for establishing a permanent peace
between Israel and the PLO as well as the basis for Israel to establish
peace with all of her Arab neighbors in the years to come.
Because
the United States has played such a central and active role in bringing
Israel and her Arab neighbors together to discuss peace with each other,
it could be perceived that the United States is acting independently
to achieve peace between Israel and her Arab neighbors so that they
could sign bilateral agreements with each other. However, it may
come as a surprise to most of our readers that nothing could be farther
from the truth. In fact, it is the desire of the United States that all
peace agreements between Israel and her Arab neighbors be United Nations
based peace agreements. In reality, the United States is working as an
agent in the peace agreements between Israel and her Arab neighbors to
ensure that the goals, intent and purpose for the founding of the United
Nations is realized. In other words, in desiring for Israel to make
peace with her Arab neighbors, the foreign policy of the United States
is to advance the cause of the United Nations.
The
purpose of this chapter is to show our readers that the United States
has been actively involved in promoting peace between Israel and her
Arab neighbors making sure that any signed agreements are based upon
United Nations resolutions. It was the goal of the founders of the
United Nations that the United Nations would be an organization that
would be used to promote, encourage and establish World Government at
some point in the future.
The Bible
teaches that at some point in history, there will be World Government
headed by the False Messiah known to the house of Israel
(Christianity) as the Antichrist (Daniel 7, Revelation 13). When World
Government is established, the False Messiah will enter into a
peace agreement with the nation of Israel guaranteeing her peace and
security. In I Thessalonians 5:1-3 it is written:
"
But
of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say,
Peace and safety
[security]
then sudden destruction cometh upon
them, as travail upon a woman with child
[Chevlai shel Mashiach/birth pangs of the
Messiah];and they
shall not escape."
In this
chapter, we will see how the peace agreements that the United States has
helped to negotiate between Israel and her Arab neighbors have been
based upon
United Nations
Resolutions 242 and 338. Furthermore,
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338
is based upon the principle of
peace with security. Therefore, the United States
is hastening the day when Israel will enter into an ominous peace
agreement with the False Messiah in the end of days. Quite
possibly, the False Messiah will try to enforce peace between
Israel and her Arab neighbors by guaranteeing the terms and conditions
of United Nations Resolutions 242
and 338 —
peace with security.
In the
rest of this chapter, the text of
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338 will be
shown. Then, peace agreements and peace negotiations between Israel and
her Arab neighbors will be reviewed highlighting those parts of the
agreements which specify that these agreements are based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.

Israel and her Arab neighbors comes from the Israel Ministry of Foreign

ISRAEL ENTERS INTO PEACE WITH EGYPT
In the
late 1970s, Israel entered into peace negotiations with the nation of
Egypt. After twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David, the
Israeli-Egyptian negotiations were concluded with the signing at the
White House of two agreements. First, the Camp David Accords were signed
on September 17, 1978. Then, a full peace agreement between Israel and
Egypt was signed on March 26, 1979. President Carter witnessed the
accords that were signed by Egyptian President Sadat and Israeli Prime
Minister Begin. The United States helped to negotiate these agreements.
They are based upon
United Nations
Resolutions 242 and 338. Those parts of the
agreement which highlight that they are based upon
United Nations Resolution 242 and 338
will be presented.
THE CAMP DAVID ACCORDS
(SEPTEMBER 17, 1978)
The Framework for Peace in the Middle East
Muhammad
Anwar al-Sadat, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and Menachem
Begin, Prime Minister of Israel, met with Jimmy Carter, President of the
United States of America, at Camp David from September 5 to September
17, 1978, and have agreed on the following framework for peace in the
Middle East. They invite other parties to the Arab-Israel conflict to
adhere to it.
Preamble
The
search for peace in the Middle East must be guided by the following:
The
agreed basis for a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Israel
and its neighbors is
United
Nations Security Council Resolution 242, in all
its parts … The provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and the
other accepted norms of international law and legitimacy now provide
accepted standards for the conduct of relations among all states.
To
achieve a relationship of peace, in the spirit of Article 2 of the
United Nations Charter, future negotiations between Israel and any
neighbor prepared to negotiate peace and security with it are necessary
for the purpose of carrying out all the provisions and principles of
Resolutions 242 and 338.
Framework
Taking
these factors into account, the parties are determined to reach a just,
comprehensive, and durable settlement of the Middle East conflict
through the conclusion of peace treaties based on
Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338
in all their parts. Their purpose is to achieve peace and good
neighborly relations. They recognize that for peace to endure, it must
involve all those who have been most deeply affected by the conflict.
They therefore agree that this framework, as appropriate, is intended by
them to constitute a basis for peace not only between Egypt and Israel,
but also between Israel and each of its other neighbors which is
prepared to negotiate peace with Israel on this basis. With that
objective in mind, they have agreed to proceed as follows:
A. West
Bank and Gaza
1. Egypt, Israel, Jordan and the
representatives of the Palestinian people should participate in
negotiations on the resolution of the Palestinian problem in all
its aspects. To achieve that objective, negotiations relating to
the West Bank and Gaza should proceed in three stages … The
negotiations shall be based on all the provisions and principles
of
UN Security Council
Resolution 242 …
The United States shall be invited to
participate in the talks on matters related to the modalities of
the implementation of the agreements and working out the
timetable for the carrying out of the obligations of the
parties. The United Nations Security Council shall be requested
to endorse the peace treaties and ensure that their provisions
shall not be violated. The permanent members of the Security
Council shall be requested to underwrite the peace treaties and
ensure respect or the provisions…

of this framework a peace treaty between them:
It is
agreed that:

Following
the 1991 Gulf War, US Secretary of State James Baker made eight trips to
the Middle East in eight months. As a result of the shuttle diplomacy by
James Baker, the United States invited Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan
and the Palestinians to enter into peace negotiations that were to be
held in Madrid, Spain. The following contains the invitation to the
Madrid Peace Conference that was held on October 30, 1991. The

YASSER ARAFAT ACCEPTS
UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTIONS 242 AND 338
Beginning
with the Madrid peace conference, talks continued between Israel and the
PLO. Eventually, these talks resulted in an agreement between Israel and
the PLO termed the "Declaration of Principles" which was signed at the
White House in Washington D.C. on September 13, 1993. In preparation for
the signing of this agreement, Yasser Arafat sent a letter to Prime
Minister Yitzchak Rabin acknowledging Israel’s right to exist while
reaffirming that peace negotiations would be based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.
The letter from Yasser Arafat to Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin is given
below. Following Arafat’s letter to Rabin is Prime Minister Rabin’s
reply to PLO leader Yasser Arafat.
LETTER FROM YASSER ARAFAT
TO PRIME MINISTER RABIN
September 9, 1993
Yitzhak Rabin
Prime Minister of Israel
Mr. Prime Minister,
The
signing of the Declaration of Principles marks a new era in the history
of the Middle East. In firm conviction thereof, I would like to confirm
the following PLO commitments:
The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel
to exist in peace and security.
The PLO accepts
United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338.
The PLO commits itself to the Middle East peace
process, and to a peaceful resolution of the conflict between the two
sides and declares that all outstanding issues relating to permanent
status will be resolved through negotiations…
In view of the promise of a new era and the signing
of the Declaration of Principles and based on Palestinian acceptance of
Security Council Resolutions 242
and 338, the PLO affirms that those articles of
the Palestinian Covenant which deny Israel’s right to exist, and the
provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments
of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid. Consequently,
the PLO undertakes to submit to the Palestinian National Council for
formal approval the necessary changes in the Palestinian Covenant.
Sincerely,
Yasser Arafat
Chairman
The Palestine Liberation
Organization

MADELINE ALBRIGHT REAFFIRMS
THE COMMITMENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO
UN RESOLUTIONS 242 AND 338
At this
point, there should be no doubt in the reader’s mind that the Middle
East peace process between Israel and her Arab neighbors is based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and
338. Furthermore, there should be no doubt in the
reader’s mind that the United States fully supports
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338
and has played a central and active role in making sure that any peace
agreements between Israel and her Arab neighbors is based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.
Therefore, it can be reasonably concluded that the United States is in
favor of future World Government and is actively working to help bring
it into reality.

following article appeared in the Jerusalem Post Internet Edition
on November 17, 1997. At the time of the writing of this book, the

In this
article, the United States Secretary of State Madeline Albright
reaffirms the United States commitment to the peace process between
Israel and the PLO based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.
ALBRIGHT TO ISRAEL: TIME IS RUNNING OUT
BY STEVE RODAN
DOHA, Qatar (November 17) — Warning that time is
running out for the peace process, US Secretary of State Madeline
Albright yesterday called on Israel to implement the interim agreements
with the Palestinians.
"Palestinian leaders must intensify cooperation on
security issues and speak more consistently the language of peace,"
Albright told the opening of the Middle East and North Africa economic
conference in the Qatari capital.
"Israeli leaders must meet their responsibilities by
taking steps to restore Palestinian and Arab confidence in their
commitment to implementing Oslo."
…She reiterated US support for
UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and
338, "including the principle of land for peace."
Her words reflected what US officials said is
Washington’s frustration with the stalled peace process.
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON REAFFIRMS THE COMMITMENT OF THE
UNITED STATES TO UN RESOLUTIONS 242 AND 338
In the
May 14, 1999 edition of the Jewish Press newspaper (Brooklyn, New
York) on page 80, there was an article that featured a letter from
President Bill Clinton to Yasser Arafat that was sent to him on April
26, 1999. An excerpt of the letter reads as follows:
"Dear Mr. Chairman, I appreciated the opportunity
to see you at the White House last month and exchange views on the
current situation … I am asking that you continue to rely on the
peace process as the way to fulfill the aspirations of your people …
the objective of the negotiating process is the implementation of
UN Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338, including land for
peace…"
THE UNITED NATIONS
ISRAEL/ARAB PEACE PROCESS
At this
point, it should be understood that the Middle East peace process
between Israel and her Arab neighbors has been based upon
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.
The basis of UN Resolutions 242
and 338 is for Israel to exchange "land for
peace." These resolutions are intended to grant Israel the assurance
of having "peace with security."
The
United States has played a central and active role in each and every
peace negotiation and agreement between Israel and her Arab neighbors.
The United States fully supports
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338 and wants
to ensure that each peace agreement between Israel and her Arab
neighbors is based upon these UN resolutions. In doing so, the United
States is taking an active role in promoting the intent, purpose and
goals of the founders of the United Nations to use the United Nations as
an instrument to help bring about World Government. By looking at the
United States involvement in the Middle East peace process and how the
United States seeks to promote
United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338 as a
central part of this process, it can be easily discerned that the
foreign policy of the United States is to help promote the empowering of
the United Nations and to advance the goal to eventually establish One
World Government.
Knowledgeable
students of Bible prophecy also know that the False Messiah will
eventually be the leader of this coming World Government. Furthermore,
the G-d of Israel declares in His Holy Word that the second coming of
the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus as the Kingly
Messiah known as Messiah ben David will crush to pieces the world
rule of this False Messiah through ushering in the Messianic Age
(Athid Lavo) (Daniel 7, Revelation 13).
Because
the United States is leading a world wide rebellion against the nation
of Israel by basing Israel’s peace negotiations and treaties with her
Arab neighbors upon
United Nations
Resolutions 242 and 338 and subsequently,
hastening the advent of World Government and the rise of the eventual
False Messiah who will be the ruler of this World Government, the
wrath and curse of the G-d of Israel will come upon the United States
because she is turning her back on the nation of Israel and siding with
Ishmael rather than Isaac in this conflict. The G-d of Israel made a
promise to Abraham (Avraham) in Genesis (Bereishit) 12:3
as it is written:
"
And
I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
In
Zechariah (Zecharyah) 2:8 it is written:
"…
he
that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye."
Therefore,
let us remember the inspired words of the G-d of Israel in Psalm (Tehillim)
121:4 as it is written:
"
Behold,
he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep."
And let
us also remember the inspired words of the G-d of Israel in Psalm (Tehillim)
122:6 as it is written:
"
Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."
On behalf
of the covenant that the G-d of Israel made with Abraham (Avraham)
when the G-d of Israel promised ALL twelve tribes of Israel a Promised
Land and for the sake of the city of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim)
which He has chosen, may the G-d of Israel pour out His Holy Spirit (Ruach
HaKodesh) upon the house of Judah (Judaism) and upon the
house of Israel (Christianity) and unite our hearts by bringing
redemption, restoration, reconciliation and unity to both houses of
Israel speedily in our days because of our love for Zion. Amen!
The Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) and the
Southern Kingdom (Judah) differed both politically and religiously. They
have never been united since the split between them following the days
of Solomon. The Northern Kingdom was taken captive by the Assyrians.
Upon their captivity, the Ten Tribes have been assimilated and
intermingled into the nations of the world. The intermarriage of the
Assyrians and the descendents of the Northern Kingdom who lived in the
land of Israel were known as Samaritans. The Jews and the Samaritans
never got along with each other. Joseph being sold by his brothers
foreshadows the dividing of the nation of Israel into Northern Kingdom
and Southern Kingdom. Joseph's unification with His brothers foreshadows
the unification of Ephraim and Judah in the end of days. Ezekiel lying
on his side foreshadows the sin and punishment of the Northern Kingdom.
The suffering of a righteous individual can atone for the sins of the
nation of Israel. The suffering of Ezekiel foreshadows the suffering of
the Messiah for His people. The Ten Tribes did not unite with Judah at
the end of the Babylonian captivity during the days of Ezra and
Nehemiah. Orthodox Jews pray three times a day for the ingathering of
the exiles of Israel. The Ten Tribes will return to the land of Israel
and be united with Judah at the dawn of the Messianic Era. It is the
Messiah who will gather the exiles of Israel.
Since
Israel became a nation in 1948, she has fought numerous wars with her
Arab neighbors. While Israel has won all of these wars, she may be
losing the "peace." In the June 1967 Six-Day War, Israel defeated
her Arab neighbors and captured the Biblical land of Judea and Samaria
(West Bank) and the city of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) became a
united city under Israeli control. The Biblical land of Judea and
Samaria is known in the Western world as the "West Bank." In the 1973
Yom Kippur War, Israel gained control of the Golan Heights. Following
these wars, the nation of Israel became increasingly interested in
having peace and entering into peace agreements with her Arab neighbors.
Therefore, in the years to come, Israel made peace agreements with Egypt
(1979) and with Jordan (1994). The United States became the facilitator
of these peace agreements.
