Secretary of State Condolezza Rice has called for Israelis to give up the West Bank

Speaking on Arabic language radio in the Middle East, Secretary of State Rice made it very clear that the US believes Israel's future will rest in places like the Galilee area and the Negev Desert and that the occupation of the West Bank will have to end and a Palestinian state will need to be established.

By stating so clearly that the occupation of the West Bank will have to end, Secretary Rice has set a new standard in US-Israeli relations, a position that would include giving up the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The US Secretary of State calling for Israel to give up the occupation of the West Bank is a new standard that is actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For a number of years, the Quartet which includes: the US, the EU, the UN, and Russia, has hinted that it would be beneficial for the Jewish settlers to be evacuated out of Judea and Samaria, the West Bank. Now, with the prospect of an international peace conference scheduled for this fall, Secretary of State has actually demanded that Israel give up its so-called occupation of the West Bank, the area known biblically as Judea and Samaria.

This report is evidence that we are quickly approaching an End Time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. God promised the Jewish people that He would give them the land of their forefathers when they return from the four corners of the earth where they were scattered almost 2,000 years ago, Deuteronomy 30, the Land Covenant. Through Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, God told the Jewish people that He would not only give them the land but that it would be even better than what He had given their forefathers, Ezekiel 36:11. The fact is that 35 times in Ezekiel 36, God told the Jewish people about the land that He had promised and He said in verse 22 the reason He will give them that land is for His holy namesake.

Secretary Rice calling for Israel to give up this God-given land is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
