According to a major Israeli newspaper, a recent flurry of secret messages from Israel to Syria seem to indicate that Israel is willing to give up the Golan Heights in return for a peace agreement with Syria.
The report says PM Ehud Olmert sent messages with German and Turkish diplomats to Syrian President Bashur Assad indicating that Israel is ready to hold direct peace negotiations with Syria and give up the Golan Heights, a piece of real estate held by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A report that the Israeli PM is ready to give the Golan Heights back to Syria, if true, is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
No Israeli PM in the last 40 years has told Syria that his government would be willing to give back the Golan Heights for a peace agreement. Military strategists say that Israel on the Golan Heights is essential for the security of the northern half of the state of Israel. IDF intelligence is saying that Syrian military forces are in training exercises at the Syrian-Israeli border near the Golan Heights, which has caused concern of an attack to take back the Golan Heights by force. Now, Israeli PM Ehud Olmert, it is reported, has notified Syria that his government is ready to give back the Golan Heights for a peace agreement.
One would have to ignore the IDF intelligence and Bible prophecy to even consider such a giveaway. Bible prophecy, that can be found in Daniel 11:40-45, reveals that the king of the North, modern-day Syria, is one of the players in a coalition of nations that will align themselves and attack Israel in the Last Days. In fact, Daniel 11:40 indicates that Syria will make the first move against Israel and the other nations will follow in suite and attack the Jewish state.
This report that Israeli PM Ehud Olmert is ready to give up the Golan Heights is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
