Here is a report about Bahrain’s intent to normalize relations with Israel:<\/p>\n

September 13, 2020<\/p>\n

Bahrain on Friday agreed to normalize relations with Israel, becoming the latest Arab nation to do so as part of a broader diplomatic push by President Donald Trump and his administration to further ease the Jewish state\u2019s relative isolation in the Middle East and find common ground with nations that share U.S. wariness of Iran.<\/p>\n

Trump announced the agreement on the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks following a phone call he had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bahrain\u2019s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. The three leaders also issued a brief joint statement marking the second such Arab normalization agreement with Israel in the past two months.<\/p>\n

The announcement came less than a week before Trump hosts a White House ceremony<\/a> to mark the establishment of full relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, something that Trump and his Middle East team brokered in August.<\/a> Bahrain\u2019s foreign minister will attend that event and sign a separate agreement with Netanyahu. https:\/\/prescottenews.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/13\/bahrain-becomes-latest-arab-nation-to-recognize-israel\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not all are pleased with the announcement:<\/p>\n

September 13, 2020<\/p>\n

DUBAI (Reuters) – Bahraini opposition groups have said they reject a decision by the Gulf state to normalise relations with Israel, with a leading Shi\u2019ite cleric on Sunday calling on the region\u2019s people to resist.<\/p>\n

Cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, living in Iran, said he was against normalisation between Arab countries and Israel, in a statement published by dissolved Bahraini opposition party al-Wefaq, a group close to Qassim. https:\/\/in.reuters.com\/article\/us-israel-gulf-usa-bahrain-reax\/bahrain-opposition-rejects-israel-normalisation-calls-to-resist-idUSKBN2640ER<\/a><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that Bahrain would face \u201charsh revenge\u201d from its own people and the Palestinians over the Gulf Arab state\u2019s move to normalise ties with Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe executioner ruler of Bahrain should await the harsh revenge of the Mujahideen (Islamic fighters) aiming to liberate Quds (Jerusalem) and the proud Muslim nation of this country,\u201d the Guards said in a statement posted on their website. 09\/12\/20 https:\/\/in.reuters.com\/article\/us-israel-bahrain-usa-iran-guards\/iran-guards-warn-of-harsh-revenge-against-bahrain-by-bahrainis-palestinians-over-israel-deal-idUSKBN2630PZ<\/a><\/p>\n

ESTRIN: After the Emirates agreed to normalize relations with Israel last month, U.S. officials lobbied other Arab countries to do the same, and Bahrain answered the call. It had been making public gestures toward Israel in recent years. Netanyahu sees it as further fulfillment of his longtime vision – that Israel does not need to make concessions to the Palestinians in order to gain acceptance in the region.<\/p>\n

Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi.<\/p>\n

HANAN ASHRAWI: Israel is occupying Palestinian land, so that’s where you need to make peace – not with countries that have had no conflict. With Israel, it’s a spectacle put together in order to create the impression that Trump can make peace where no peace was needed, actually.<\/p>\n

ESTRIN: Ashrawi says Palestinians feel let down by Bahrain. The united Arab front that favored the Palestinians over Israel is cracked. The White House hopes that will pressure Palestinians to make a deal with Israel. Ashrawi says Palestinians still have their supporters. She cites social justice activists in the U.S. and in Bahrain, where there’s a vocal political opposition. The top-trending hashtag on Twitter there is against the Israel deal. https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/09\/12\/912338713\/palestinians-condemn-u-s-brokered-bahrain-israel-normalization<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, there are various ones opposed to this type of peace deal.<\/p>\n

Despite that, the Bible shows that a temporary peace will come to the region:<\/p>\n

26 And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate (Daniel 9:26-27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The biblically-prophesied \u201cprince\u201d to confirm it will be a European leader who is the one who is later called the King of the North<\/a> in Daniel 11:40. The \u2018one week\u2019 has generally been understood by prophecy watchers to mean a seven year deal, that is broken in the middle of it (after 3 1\/2 years)–hence this is a temporary deal. The breaking of this deal is also confirmed in the following scripture:<\/p>\n

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Daniel 11:31)
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201chim\u201d is the European King of the North<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that a confederation of mainly Arabic peoples, with some from other Muslim dominated lands, will get together.<\/p>\n

They will be led by one that Daniel 11 calls the King of the South<\/a>:<\/p>\n

40 At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. (Daniel 11:40-41)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But this King of the South will not last in power very long. Because Iran is not alluded to in the above, the confederation that supports the King of the South does not look like it will include Iran. Hence, Iranian opposition to deals such as those with Israel and the UAE and Bahrain will not stop the coming temporary peace deal of the King of the South confederation.<\/p>\n

Related to the UAE deal and some views posted about it, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

UAE Deal: Peace in the Middle East?<\/a><\/h3>\n

On August 13, 2020, US President Donald Trump sent out a tweet over Twitter of something called the \u201cJoint Statement of the United States, the State of Israel, and the United Arab Emirates;\u201d it is also called the Abraham Accord(s). Many are excited about it as it is the first such deal between Israel and an Arab nation in 25 years. Others have denounced it as counter-productive. The United Arab Emirates has agreed essentially to recognize Israel if it does not proceed now with the annexations of Samaria, etc. it had planned. Although it is being hailed as a \u201chistoric peace deal,\u201d a senior Palestinian official and negotiator named Saeb Erekat, said on August 14, 2020, \u201cYou are rewarding aggression. \u2026 You have destroyed, with this move, any possibility of peace between Palestinians and Israelis.\u201d On the other hand, Breaking Israel News has suggested that this deal fulfills prophecies in Psalm 133:1 and Genesis <\/span>16:12<\/span> related to Ishmael and Jacob\u2013is that true? Will peace come to the Middle East? Does Daniel <\/span>9:26<\/a>-27 talk about a seven-year temporal peace deal coming to the Middle East? Will the prince, who becomes the King of the North, confirm this deal and break it after 3 1\/2 years? How do we know that it is a European (a descendant from the peoples of the ancient Roman Empire) confirm it? Will most be deceived by false claims of a humanistic, Satanic, peace? Will many Christians not understand? Is the confirmation of a coming deal a countdown to the start of the Great Tribulation, the destruction of the USA (Daniel <\/span>11:39<\/a>) and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies, as well as the destruction of a confederation of Middle Eastern and North African peoples led by one the Bible calls the King of the South (Daniel <\/span>11:40<\/a>-43)? Will humans bring real peace or do we need the return of Jesus and the establishment of the millennial portion of the Kingdom of God to do that? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While it is nice that the UAE and Bahrain are making steps towards peace, other scriptures tell of major military conflict coming to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Do not let temporary peace moves or declarations dissuade you from realizing that.<\/p>\n

\nEvangelical support for Donald Trump\u2019s Jerusalem policy <\/a> BBC asked, \u201cWhy do US evangelicals support Trump\u2019s Jerusalem policy?\u201d BBC provided quotes from some believing it has to do with the \u2018last days\u2019 while others saying that is not the reason. Hal Lindsey\u2019s book, \u2018The Late Great Planet Earth\u2019 is one of the sources pointed to. In this video, Dr. Thiel addresses scriptures related to Jerusalem as well as prophetic ones. He goes over the common \u2018fig tree\u2019 interpretation, belief about a \u2018Third Temple,\u2019 and statements about animal sacrifices. He explains biblical statements on those subjects as well as the views of certain modern Jewish organizations. This is a video.
\nJerusalem, Donald Trump, and Prophecy <\/a> On December 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump fulfilled a campaign promise related to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital. This brought anger, protests, and rockets from some Palestinians. It also brought condemnation from European allies\u2013it has been claimed to be disruptive and even catastrophic. The Palestinian President (Mahmoud Abbas) said that this pronouncement eliminated the USA as being a fair mediator for a peace deal. Others have claimed that Donald Trump is an end time Cyrus and his pronouncement will lead to a Third Temple in Jerusalem. Is there ever going to be a peace deal? If so, will Europeans be part of it? Is Donald Trump a \u2018Cyrus.\u2019 Do the Jews require a Third Temple for sacrifices? Dr. Thiel answer those questions and more in this video.
\nWhy is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?<\/a> Although people like Timothy LaHaye teach a third Jewish temple is required, who is \u2018the temple of God\u201d in the New Testament? Does the Bible require a rebuilt Jewish Temple? Here is a related item in the Spanish language \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no se requiere un templo jud\u00edo en Jerusal\u00e9n?<\/a> Here is a link to a sermon titled The Temple, Prophecy, and the Work<\/a>.

\nSome Doctrines of Antichrist<\/a> Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three. It also provides information on 666 and the identity of \u201cthe false prophet.\u201d Plus it shows that several Catholic writers seem to warn about an ecumenical antipope that will support heresy. You can also watch a video titled What Does the Bible teach about the Antichrist?<\/a>

It is in the area where the Church of God on Jerusalem\u2019s Western Hill once stood. This is believed to be the location of the earliest Christian church building. How does the Bible define the \u2018temple of God\u2019 in the New Testament? Could this be the area where the \u2018man of sin\u2019 will sit in the \u201ctemple of God\u2019 that Bible prophecy discusses in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4? This is a YouTube video.

\nDoes God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?<\/a> Was a 6000 year time allowed for humans to rule followed by a literal thousand year reign of Christ on Earth taught by the early Christians?

What is a \u2018Magic Eight-Ball\u2019? Dr. Thiel not only explains that, but also briefly goes over 10 biblically-based warnings he wrote would happen if Donald Trump were elected that have already began to come to pass. He also goes over something he wrote back in 2008 that the Trump presidency is also helping lead to fulfillment. Should you trust Bible prophecy or not? Dr. Thiel says that Bible prophecy can be trusted, despite the view of skeptics and others that either overlook or despise the Bible.
