Chapter 1

ISRAEL AWASH IN VIOLENCE

1

It only took a few seconds, but for those involved, the

devastation would last a lifetime.

A group of Israeli teens—many of them new immigrants

from the former northern force—had gathered at a pre-Sabbath

dance in a popular Tel Aviv dance club.

Many of the dancers, and even those milling about, were

new immigrants so nobody really knew everyone at the club. It,

after all, was a place for young people to meet other young

people. It was nothing unusual to see quite a few new faces.

In the minds of many of the young people gathered there,

there was no conflict. The Israeli youths were content to get

along with their Palestinian counterparts and the Palestinians

were likewise content getting along with the Israelis.

At several “peace camps” throughout the years, Jewish

youths and Palestinian youths had spent summers getting to

know each other and realizing they didn’t have so many

differences after all. So it was not unusual to see a Palestinian

face near the beach of the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv.

But this night, one Palestinian face was focused not on

peace, on meeting his neighbors and not on dancing. His intent

was simple and straightforward—to get into a crowd of as many

Israeli youths as possible and detonate the bomb he had attached

to his body, killing himself and hopefully a great number of

teens.

His plan was executed flawlessly. As dozens of youths

gathered around, suspicious of nothing, the terrorist set off his

bomb, filled with shrapnel to do the maximum possible damage,

and, instantly, 17 Israeli youths were cut to shreds. Their young

lives were snuffed out in the blink of an eye.

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

As police investigated the scene, even hardened soldiers

couldn’t hold back the tears. Around each other were the bodies

of children lying crumpled, twisted at odd angles and torn

asunder: Pieces of shrapnel lay everywhere—embedded in walls,

cars and the street. Blood flowed like a morbid river. The tears

began.

Calls came from every corner of Israel for the Prime

Minister, Ariel Sharon, “You must retaliate, you must pay back

the terrorists for what they’ve done” But Sharon would not. He

had called a cease-fire only days before and he would not back

down from his word.

From the international community, a cry began to ring forth

to Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, “You must declare a cease-

fire” Arafat, president of the Palestinian Authority, was told that

he would have to reign in his people, he would have to stop the

war of terror. But the cries did not only come from the

international community and they did not only come from

Israelis.

The Palestinian people were also tired of the violence.

Only a small, radical group of people become thorns in the

side of peace.

The vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians both want

peace. They’re tired of fighting. They’re tired of their sons

dying. They’re tired of bloodshed and mourning. They want a

peaceful life.

The extremists—on both sides—want to keep fighting the

war. Both extremist positions will not settle for anything less

than complete capitulation of the other side. So the war

continues. When the extremist elements are able to pull off an

act of violence, the entire nation on the other side becomes

enraged.

The Palestinian youth who murdered 17 Israeli children in

the Tel Aviv disco did not answer to Arafat’s Palestinian

Authority—He was a member of Hamas, a group that has said it

does not recognize Arafat’s authority or his cease-fire.

6

Israel Awash in Violence

Another extremist group, Islamic Jihad (holy war), does not

recognize any authority. Its stated goal of the eradication of the

Israeli state is the only authority it recognizes.

Both groups, and countless smaller splinter groups, believe

terrorism is the only way to get the Israelis to acquiesce to their

demands.

Arafat himself was the former leader of the Palestinian

Liberation Organization, a terrorist group that engaged in

systematic terrorist activities in an effort to push the Israelis into

the sea. It was only with international recognition of his status as

a leader that Arafat began to renounce terrorism as a legitimate

means to an end. It’s understandable, then, why the Israelis and

international community are a bit dubious when Arafat claims

the role of statesman. Nevertheless, he is the acknowledged

leader of the Palestinian Authority, which was given power by

the Israeli government to govern the Palestinian people.

But many believe he has not renounced terrorism. They

believe he still endorses it behind the scenes while condemning

it in public. They cite his seeming reticence to punish convicted

terrorists, his unwillingness to round up suspected terrorist

groups and his inability to stop the violence in any meaningful

way as evidence.

To some, the fact that Hamas and Islamic Jihad don’t

recognize Arafat’s authority is an advantage to Arafat. They

believe it is to his advantage to be able to disclaim the activities

of these “renegade” groups.

After all, they believe that if his goal is to get Israel to the

place where it will accept peace at any cost, it helps his cause to

be able to condemn terrorism in public and encourage it in

private. It helps his cause to be able to say, “I hate terrorism but

there’s nothing I can do about these groups.”

If that is true, the strategy is effective: bring the Israeli

resolve to fight to its knees through repeated and random

senseless acts of violence, all the while playing statesman and

gaining clout with the international community and the United

7

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

States, Israel’s chief foreign benefactor.

With that twofold strategy in place, Arafat can effectively

step up his war of terrorism and still be taken seriously when he

sits down at a table to talk peace.

If anyone doubts the power of Arafat’s diplomatic skill, they

need only to remember that he received the Nobel Peace Prize

for his efforts to bring peace to the region—the same man the

media once called the world’s most prominent terrorist.

So the war of terrorism increases in intensity, more

Palestinians and more Israelis lose their lives, and a cry begins

to gain volume: Peace.

The violence can only lead two places: all-out war or an all-

out effort to bring peace.

At this point, it’s too early to tell which will happen—

prophetically, either is possible. War is possible because the

Bible doesn’t tell us exactly how many wars Israel will have to

go through before peace is declared.

Peace is also possible, because the Bible is clear that Israel

must have peace before the end can come. Either way, it’s clear

that the violence will continue until one of these two outcomes

is attained.

Those who believe peace will come through diplomacy or

through some other arrangement without more violence are

deceiving themselves. The arguments and the emotional

investment on both sides run too deep for such a simple solution.

The Israelis want Jerusalem as their eternal capital and many

want to start work rebuilding a temple on the Temple Mount.

The Palestinians and other Muslims all over the world

venerate the Temple Mount as the third—most-sacred site in

Islam. It is where they believe their religion’s founder,

Mohammed, left the earth to ascend into heaven.

They fear that if the Israelis have absolute control of the

Temple Mount and begin to rebuild a temple there, they will

desecrate the Muslim holy sites, forever restricting Muslims

8

Israel Awash in Violence

from access.

The Israelis fear that if the Muslims have unrestricted access

the Israelis will never be able to rebuild their temple, which they

believe is essential to their worship.

It seems they are at an impossible impasse.

Chapter Two

THE FIRST PEACE IS COMING SOON

2

The Bible is clear: Israel and her neighbors will form a

peace, a truce that enables the Israelis to live without fear of

violence. This peace must be something that the Israeli

government will believe. It must be a peace that strikes them as

genuine, because the Bible is clear:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled

villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all

of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor

gates, To take a spoil....

Ezekiel 38:11-12

The enemies who attack Israel will take their opportunity

from the presupposition that Israel has let down its guard. That

is not the action of a country that is continually on guard for an

attack to break out at any moment. Right now Israel is on nearly

a constant state of alert. The nation is prepared to launch into an

all-out war at the drop of a hat.

Israel is the owner of the world’s most efficient and

powerful air force. Even the United States, the world’s most

powerful military superpower, can’t compete with the skill of

Israeli pilots, rated as the world’s best. Those pilots are on high

alert—at any second they must be ready to scramble into service

and protect the nation from a foreign military threat.

Israel’s army is also on high alert at all times. Besides the

threat of violence from any of Israel’s neighbors, the army must

deal with terrorist threats from within the nation itself and it

must also deal with the occasional uprising of rock-throwing or

the occasional automatic rifle-firing militants.

Israeli citizens are constantly looking over their shoulders.

Will the next bus they board be the one that will be blown up

11

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

today by a car bomb? Will the next Palestinian walking down

the street be the one with a nail-loaded bomb strapped to his

body? Will they be caught in the crossfire and, like the Israeli

soldier in the year 2000, be beaten and thrown from a window,

their bodies left behind to be desecrated by a swarming mob?

The Israeli people and the Israeli government are anything

but secure, anything but resting in peace.

But the Bible says that, in the future, the Israelis must be

dwelling safely...

They must not fear for their lives or the security of their

nation...

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus

saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel

dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come

from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people

with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company,

and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my

people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the

latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the

heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O

Gog, before their eyes.

Ezekiel 38:14-16

A war is coming in Israel... we know it as the War of Gog

and Magog. Many people believe it will be a war between

Russia, its allies and Israel.

They base this belief on the name Magog, who was the

second son of Japheth (Genesis 10:1, 2).

The descendants of Magog lived north of the Caucasus

Mountains, and according to Jewish historian Josephus, they

became the Scythians, who modern history shows later became

the Russians.

It is by following the history of these names and the travels

of the people they represent that we are able to see the peoples

spoken about by the prophet Ezekiel in his proclamations against

Magog. Magog is almost certainly represented by today’s ethnic

12

The First Peace Is Coming Soon

inhabitants of Russia. Thus, when God makes the following

pronouncement, He is prophesying that Russia will invade Israel

when Israel is at peace:

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog,

the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against

him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against

thee....

Ezekiel 38:2-3

That war, the war pitting a confederation of nations led by

Russia against Israel, will certainly be fought in the near future.

Even now, the anti-Jew rhetoric in Russia and the other

nations of the former Soviet Union is escalating to unbelievable

levels.

Back in 1982 (partner, that’s nearly 20 years ago), an Israeli

raid in Lebanon uncovered a cache of Russian-made weapons

enough to arm an entire nation.

To top it all, a Russian officer named Vladmir Zhirinovsky

has declared himself the Gog prophesied in the Bible and his

goal is to win the presidency of Russia so he can lead a Russian

army against Israel.

The war is certainly coming soon.

Russia is building up its arms in a rapid fashion as the rest of

the world lingers in the false security of the idea that Russia is a

weakling.

The United States, the only nation on earth with the

capability to deter the northern forces was recently threatened by

Russian President Vladmir Putin. If the U. S. went ahead with

plans to develop a ballistic missile defense system, Russia would

begin a new arms race, tipping its missiles with multiple

warheads.

The sabre-rattling has begun and we haven’t seen the worst

of it yet.

Almost anyone can look at the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and

compare it to the current events in the north and the Islamic

13

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

nations of the Middle East to see the potential for fulfillment of

those scriptures.

But what many people overlook is what must happen

BEFORE northern powers and its confederation can invade

Israel.

No matter how many weapons they develop and build...

No matter how badly a northern force officer wants to...

No matter who demands it and works to make it happen...

Forces from the north CANNOT invade Israel until Israel

fulfills this part of Ezekiel’s prophecy:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled

villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all

of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor

gates.

Ezekiel 38:11

Before the northern forces can invade, Israel must be at

PEACE.

As I mentioned in the first chapter, right now, Israel is at

anything but peace.

For a moment, forget that there is a war of terrorism being

waged by radical, extremist groups...

Forget that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is doing nothing

to stop the war of terror...

Forget, in fact, the entire Palestinian problem—not to make

light of it or belittle it but to illustrate a point.

If all those problems were healed miraculously tomorrow,

Israel still could not live in peace and security.

If the Palestinians suddenly declared peace and love and the

Israelis suddenly embraced the Palestinians, peace would still be

far from the door.

Surrounding Israel are dozens of nations whose sole thought

toward Israel is anything but peace. With the exception of

Jordan and Egypt, both of whom have taken negative turns

14

The First Peace Is Coming Soon

recently anyway, every Islamic nation that surrounds Israel is

bent on the destruction of that tiny nation.

Even relatively western-friendly nations like Saudi Arabia

do not appreciate the Jewish nation’s presence in the Middle

East.

During the Gulf War in the early 1990s, Iraqi leader Saddam

Hussein sought to play off that mutual hatred of Israel by

bringing the Israelis into the war.

He fired Scud missile after Scud missile into the heart of

Israel, seeking a retaliation from the Jews.

The result, Hussein believed, would be a unification of the

Islamic world against a common enemy—Israel. That unification

would break up the multinational coalition carefully built by

U.S. President George Bush and would turn Iraq into a leader in

the region.

Though the ploy failed—Israel, at the request of the U.S.

refrained from retaliation—it highlights the very real problem

faced by any Israeli peace initiative: the slightest provoking

would touch off a Middle East-wide war with devastating

consequences for both sides.

So, even with the Palestinian problem settled, Israel would

still face tremendous hurdles before achieving a real and

tangible peace with the nations that surround it.

In reality, though, all it would take would be for one Shiite

nation, such as Iraq, to make peace with Israel and the rest of the

nations would be tempted to fall in line. It would be especially

attractive if the nations understood that the peace would be

temporary.

The Muslim world is divided into two major groups: Shiite

and Sunni. The Shiites are generally what the Western media

call the “hard-liners” The Sunnis are generally more apt to live

in peace with their neighbors, no matter who they are—although

the Sunnis also believe Israel should be eradicated.

If a nation dominated by Sunnis made peace with Israel,

15

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

there would be very little pressure for the rest of the Islamic

nations to capitulate. But if a nation dominated by Shiites made

peace with Israel, the pressure would quickly come for other

Islamic nations to follow suit.

All it takes is one charismatic leader to begin the dominoes

falling. Partner, when this peace comes to Israel, and it WILL

come, many will prophesy that this is the peace of the antichrist.

They will say this is the sign that the lesser tribulation has

begun. But they will be WRONG!

This is only the FIRST of two false peaces.

16

Chapter 3

THE SECOND PEACE—AND WAR

3

The first false peace will be suddenly shattered by a vicious

and truncated war.

As suddenly as flash floods rumble through the washes of

the Arizona desert—sweeping everything in their paths away—a

coalition of northern and Islamic armies will converge on Israel

with a full-on war.

The Bible does not state clearly where the United States—

currently Israel’s closest ally—will be during this war. It doesn’t

say if the U. S. will be involved at all.

The state of current treaties and agreements between the two

nations seems to indicate that if a war this huge were to break

out, the U.S. would have to become involved in some capacity.

At any given moment, America has vast forces within

striking distance of the Middle East, so it’s reasonable to assume

that America would be involved in at least a minor capacity, no

matter how quickly the war was resolved.

But there may indeed be a mention of the United States in

the Ezekiel prophecies. If the passage does actually mention the

U.S., it is sinister-sounding indeed:

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that

dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the

Lord.

Ezekiel 39:6

At least a few prophecy teachers have indicated that the bold

phrase above could refer to America, which is surrounded by

oceans on the east and west. Whether that is true or not remains

to be seen, but if America is referred to here, the same “fire” that

falls on Magog... or Northern Forces ... will fall on America.

17

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

Many prophecy teachers have speculated that the “fire”

referred to here could be a nuclear strike.

The scenario they present sounds at least plausible: Israel,

possessor of an undisclosed nuclear arsenal, would send nuclear

missiles to Moscow, which is almost due north of Jerusalem, in

response to the attack.

The powers from the north, Russia, in response, would send

missiles against American targets (and possibly Israeli targets),

and both nations would be engulfed more or less in fire.

That is just one interpretation.

Regardless, even if the United States involves itself in the

war against Magog, its awesome military power will not win the

war for Israel.

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and

say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O

Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn

thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause

thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon

the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy

left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right

hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and

all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee

unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the

field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I

have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD... So will I make my holy

name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not

let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen

shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

Ezekiel 39:1-7

God, in a devastating and awesome show of His power, will

supernaturally rescue Israel from the grips of the overwhelming

forces arrayed against it. This supernatural show of power is for

one purpose, according to the Bible: to make the world know

that God is Lord over Israel:

So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their

God from that day and forward. And the heathen shall know

18

The Second Peace—And War

that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity...

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again

the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house

of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they

have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they

have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their

land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them

again from the people, and gathered them out of their

enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many

nations; Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God..

Ezekiel 39:22-28

Not only will God be sanctified in Israel in the sight “of

many nations,” but He also will do something that, apparently,

He had not done yet: He will “bring again the captivity of

Jacob.”

Traditionally, this phrase has been thought to refer to the

returning of Israel to the land from the dispersal among the

Gentiles. But that IS ALREADY HAPPENING NOW, partner!

The bringing again of the captivity of Jacob spiritually refers

to returning Israel to the worship of the living Christ!

Partner, the Bible is clear that the age of the Gentiles is

coming to a close! The day of the predominantly Gentile Church

is just about over—we are anxiously awaiting the Rapture of the

Church, after which time the predominantly Jewish Church will

take over:

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of

this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that

blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the

Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is

written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall

turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant

unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Romans 11:25-27

When God speaks in Ezekiel of freeing Israel from captivity,

He’s speaking spiritually of freeing Israel of CAPTIVITY TO

SIN!

19

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

There’s good news for us and mixed news for Israel in this

promise:

The good news for us is that, before the age of the Jewish

Church can begin, the fullness of the Gentiles must be complete

—we must be already gone in the blessed promise of the

Rapture to meet with Jesus in the air!

The good news for Israel is that salvation will come to ALL

OF ISRAEL... the majority of Jews will follow after the Christ

they have rejected for more than 2,000 years! Hallelujah!

But the bad news is that the enemy will pursue the Jewish

church with violence only hinted at during the age of the

Gentiles. His hatred toward God’s chosen people will take a new

forcefulness, according to the book of Revelation:

... Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for

the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because

he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the

dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the

woman which brought forth the man child.

Revelation 12:12-13

But there likely will be at least three and a half years

between the miraculous end of the war of Magog and the most

vicious persecution of Jews in the history of the world.

Sometime after the end of the war of Magog, the entire

world will be clamoring to make peace with the nation whose

God has proved Himself more powerful than all the armies of

the earth.

Imagine it, for a second. The most terrifying army ever

assembled has attacked one of the smallest nations on the planet.

In a frightening flurry of earthquakes and fire and brimstone

from heaven, the living God of Israel has destroyed that army

and showed Himself to be the sovereign God of Israel.

What nation in its right mind wouldn't want to make peace

with the nation God Himself fights for?

Israel, suddenly in the unfamiliar position of negotiating

20

The Second Peace—And War

from a position of power, will have all the cards, so to speak.

And it won’t be in a hurry to make another peace with someone

who intends to break the peace. They had been fooled before,

and certainly would make a vow to never again be fooled by a

false peace. But that’s exactly what will happen, Partner.

A charismatic leader will ascend to the world’s scene with

incredible political savvy. When U.S. President Bill Clinton

survived scandal after scandal and was able to confound his

political enemies time and again, the media called him “the

consummate politician.”

But politicians like Bill Clinton and “the great

communicator,” Ronald Reagan will be rank amateurs compared

to the man who will take over power in the Middle East.

The Bible prophesies that he will achieve power without so

much as firing a bullet:

... he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by

flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown

from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of

the covenant. And after the league made with him he shall

work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become

strong with a small people. He shall enter peaceably even

upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that

which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he

shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea,

and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds,

even for a time.

Daniel 11:21-24

This man will be the beast we know as the antichrist.

Though there are many antichrists coming, the man we know as

“the” antichrist will ascend after the war of Gog and Magog.

And his way of forming an empire in the Middle East will

be like none has ever been in the past... he will achieve power

through flatteries and intrigue; by politics.

And the personality and demonic power that enable him to

achieve such a seemingly unbelievable goal will also enable him

to do another unthinkable thing: convince Israel to enter into

21

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

another peace after the first peace was so horribly betrayed.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one

week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice

and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of

abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the

consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the

desolate.

Daniel 9:27

Jesus says the end of the covenant and the advent of the

abomination of desolation will coincide with the enemy’s

pursuit and persecution of the Jewish church:

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all

the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the

end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of

desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy

place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) Then let them

which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is

on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his

house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take

his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to

them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight

be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then

shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning

of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except

those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be

saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Matthew 24:14-22

The antichrist will make a seven-year peace with Israel, and

will honor the peace during the first three-and-a-half years. But

halfway through the treaty, he will break the peace and will rush

in and conquer Israel, dominating it with force just as he

dominated the rest of the region with peace.

The fury of the dragon spoken about in Revelation will

likely coincide with this prophecy... that those Christians in

Judaea will flee into the mountains and be pursued by the

dragon, who will not be able to reach them and will instead turn

his rage on the remnants of Gentile Christians who have been

22

The Second Peace—And War

converted after the Rapture.

But the Great Tribulation is not the final word...

After the tribulation of this three-and-a-half year period,

God Himself will do something incredible.

23

Chapter 4

THE TRUE PEACE

4

Though Israel will have endured two treaties that were

broken by the nations who signed them, another Peace will be

coming after the Great Tribulation.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first

heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was

no more sea.

Revelation 21:1

God, through the Apostle John, prophesies that He will

create a new heavens and a new earth... the old heavens and

earth will disappear.

This completely agrees with the earlier prophecy:

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon

the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that

liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things

that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are,

and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there

should be time no longer.

Revelation 10:5-6

Time, as we learned through the work of Jewish physicist

Albert Einstein, is actually a part of the universe. Without the

universe, time would not exist. And, nearly 2,000 years before

Einstein discovered this truth, the Bible prophesied that TIME

WOULD END when GOD CREATED A NEW UNIVERSE...

THE OLD PASSED AWAY.

This new universe will also contain a new earth... an earth in

which there will be no sea.

But the most fascinating feature of this earth will not be the

absence of seas...

25

Antichrist Peace Is Coming to Israel Twice

The most awesome facet of the new earth will not be the

absence of time itself...

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming

down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned

for her husband.

Revelation 21:2

This incredible city will come down from the new heavens

and rest on the new earth... it will be prepared in great regality. It

will represent the blessed hope of Christianity from the

beginning of its existence... that the Church will be the Bride of

Christ!

This Jerusalem will come down out of heaven on a fresh

earth, with fresh promise and fresh peace...

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,

the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with

them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be

with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all

tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more

pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:3-4

Partner, this is the blessed hope of all Christianity.

Throughout all the ages, every Christian has longed for that day,

when God’s tabernacle would be made with men, when sorrow,

death, crying and pain were done away with... this is that day,

when the war-torn city in the Middle East is replaced by a city

not only at peace with the world outside it, but a city that is the

home of the One whose very name is the Prince of Peace!

The true Peace will come to Israel not through the treaties of

mankind, not through the negotiations of high-powered

diplomats who speak out of both sides of their mouths, not

through the pressure of the world’s leaders who want another

diplomacy trophy to hang on their mantle-piece...

The true Peace of Israel cannot be arranged by man...

It cannot be willed in by the collective hopes of man...

26

The True Peace

The true Peace of Israel can only come at the appointed

time... and when He does come, He is bringing a New Jerusalem

with Him!

As Isaiah so succinctly said in the 9th chapter of his book,

the True Lord of Israel is

Wonderful...

Counselor...

The mighty God...

The everlasting Father...

The PRINCE OF PEACE!

And OF HIS GOVERNMENT, there SHALL BE NO END!

When the true peace comes to Israel, nothing will end His

reign, and nothing will end the peace He brings!

Our challenge, our hope.

Partner, as we have learned in this book, TWO false peaces

are coming to Israel... one perpetrated by governments who have

no intention of keeping it, and the other perpetrated by the

antichrist we know as the beast of Revelation.

But those false peaces cannot stop the entry of the true

Peace from entering the hearts and minds of Israelis and Jews all

over the world RIGHT NOW.

Since 1967, God has been dealing with my heart to reach out

to the Jews all over the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 1967, in a bus on the way to Porto Alegre, Brazil, God

spoke to my heart and said, “Son, turn your eyes toward Israel.”

From that day to this, the heartbeat of the Jewish World

Outreach has been reaching the Jews of this world with the

saving knowledge of their true Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.

We have worked tirelessly, distributing pamphlets, holding

crusades, preaching over the radio waves and later through

television, sending out copies of two tremendous, soul-winning

books, “Two Men From Eden, " and “The Peace” We have created

two soul-winning prime-time television specials, "Masada" and

"The Rabbi” that spoke directly to the heart of the Jew and

explained to them the love their Messiah has for them.

But partner, our quest has just begun. Before the enemy can

forge his false peace with their leaders, our goal is to get the true

Peace of Jesus into their hearts... into the ears and minds of

every single Jew living on the face of the planet before Jesus

returns, signaling the end of the age of the Gentile-dominated

Church.

It’s a lofty goal. It’s an incredible goal.

But it’s a goal that God has uniquely positioned us to fulfill,

by His power and thanks to your faithfulness to His call!

As Mordecai said to Esther,

Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for

such a time as this.

Esther 4:14

We have been uniquely positioned in this place—AT THIS

TIME—to be the eyes, ears and hands of God’s outreach to the

end time Jews who also have been appointed for this very time.

As we intensify this goal, it is your faithfulness that will

enable us to continue to reach the Jews—Jews who many people

are afraid to even approach with the Gospel because of the

negative reaction they believe they’re sure to receive.
