Israel's acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, determined to finally honor a commitment to the United States to tear down Jewish settlement outposts, has declared war against lawless Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria and ordered the Israeli Defense Force to start with the Jewish outposts in Hebron, the world's oldest Jewish community.
Yesha, the Jewish Settlers Council, fears that this Olmert declaration of war against the Jewish outposts is a sign of the total evacuation of all Jewish communities in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The declaration of war against the Jewish settlers and Jewish settlements by Israel's acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is simply a precursor to the scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the last days. Following the Six-Day War in June of 1967, the then housing minister in the Israeli government, Ariel Sharon, urged Jews to move into the buffer zones setup by the Israeli Defense Force and act as the first line of defense for Israel against their Arab enemies.
Today, over 500,000 Jews live in the disputed territories, sometimes referred to as the West Bank, and have over 200 Jewish communities called settlers. Ehud Olmert has been an outspoken critic of the Jewish settlers, having called for their removal in the past and now has declared war on these Jewish settlers, but this time as the acting Prime Minister of Israel.
Bible prophecy does reveal that in the last days there will be those who will rise up and endeavor to take the land from the Jewish people that God has given them in fulfillment of His promise to the Jewish people. Ezekiel 35:10-12 is one of many passages that says there will be those who take from Israel God-given land; however, this passage says that those taking the land will be Edomites, the Palestinians of today.
Israel's acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert taking the land to give it to the Palestinians is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled, sometimes by strange methods.
