Obama's plan for Israel is a plan that follows the lead of United Nations Resolution 181 which calls for two states to exist side by side.  A Jewish state and a Palestinian state were to be born side by side and live in peace.  But what happened and how did we get where we are today?  The history is below.

All of this modern political "peace making" fits right into God's plan for Israel and Jerusalem and the Jewish people.  The establishment of a one world order, one world government, one world religious system...etc...will be based upon the perceived need for all religions to get along in the name of the peace of humanity.

The problem with this notion is that "religious beliefs" are the most deeply held convictions a human being can have and they do not blend well with political agendas that seek to downplay the very serious truth of God.  The argument of whose religion is right will continue until Jesus shows up and again destroys Babylon, spiritually, figuratively, and literally.  This will be the catyclysm of God vs Satan.  God will win and Jesus Christ will establish His Kingdom in Jerusalem and rule the world with a rod of iron.

In the meantime we must see these political attempts at "human peace" continue until they bungle themselves right into the fulfillment of God's prophetic purpose.  U.N. Resolution 181 could well be the "covenant" spoken of in Daniel which will be confirmed with the many.

The Recent Rebirth of Israel

One of the most exciting elements of studying prophecy in this, the twenty-first century, is to realize that in recent history and even right now we are seeing the fulfillment of prophecy before our very eyes. At the time of this writing we can look back to recently fulfilled prophecy just sixty years past and see that God was moving just as He said He would move. What has God done recently you ask?

Ezekiel 28:25-26

25“‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.26They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”

Consider the rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948. The stirrings of the idea of Jewish Restoration began as early as the 17^th century.

“The idea of Jewish restoration was not alien to British culture. In 1621, the British MP Sir Henry Finch wrote a book entitled "The World's Great Restoration." He encouraged Jews to reassert their claim to the Holy Land, writing, "Out of all the places of thy dispersion, East, West, North and South, His purpose is to bring thee home again and to marry thee to Himself by faith for evermore." There were others as well, mostly of the Puritan faith, who had written similar books. However, after the suppression of Puritanism, the idea remained dormant in Britain until the 19th century.” (2)

In 1916, the Sykes-Picot Agreement began the process of splitting up the Arab lands under the agreed control of France and Great Britain.  

This was followed in 1917 by the The Balfour Declaration which is as follows:

The Balfour Declaration

November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely,

Arthur James Balfour (3)

By 1922 the population of Jews in Palestine had grown to approximately 80,000 and of those numbers 25,000 had emigrated from various countries around the world.  The British White Paper of 1922.

British White Paper of 1922

“During the last two or three generations the Jews have recreated in Palestine a community, now numbering 80,000, of whom about one fourth are farmers or workers upon the land. This community has its own political organs; an elected assembly for the direction of its domestic concerns; elected councils in the towns; and an organization for the control of its schools. It has its elected Chief Rabbinate and Rabbinical Council for the direction of its religious affairs. Its business is conducted in Hebrew as a vernacular language, and a Hebrew Press serves its needs. It has its distinctive intellectual life and displays considerable economic activity. This community, then, with its town and country population, its political, religious, and social organizations, its own language, its own customs, its own life, has in fact "national" characteristics.” (4)

This notation of the British White Paper of 1922 was then strongly reinforced by the Palestinian Mandate in 1922, wherein Great Britain was given power to enforce the political changes which were to take place in Palestine, whose primary purpose was to re-establish a national home for the Jews in the area of Palestine.

The Palestinian Mandate

“Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and

Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and

Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;…” (5)

United Nations Resolution 181

This was followed up through several more international actions which eventually resulted in the United Nations Resolution 181 on November 29^th 1947 known as The Partition of Palestine; whose purpose was to terminate the previous mandates, evacuate the Mandatory power (Great Britain), and set forth a Plan of Partition With Economic Union by no later than August 1, 1948. This action also defined the territories of the Arab State and the Jewish State and the boundaries of the city of Jerusalem under a special international regime which would be managed by the United Nations. (6)

Israel Declares Independence

Israel declared its Independence on May 14^th, 1948 issued at Tel Aviv, Israel. A portion of the declaration is as follows:

“ERETZ-ISRAEL [(Hebrew) - The Land of Israel] was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books.

After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people remained faithful to it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom.

Impelled by this historic and traditional attachment, Jews strove in every successive generation to re-establish themselves in their ancient homeland. In recent decades they returned in their masses. Pioneers, ma'pilim [(Hebrew) - immigrants coming to Eretz-Israel in defiance of restrictive legislation] and defenders, they made deserts bloom, revived the Hebrew language, built villages and towns, and created a thriving community controlling its own economy and culture, loving peace but knowing how to defend itself, bringing the blessings of progress to all the country's inhabitants, and aspiring towards independent nationhood.

In the year 5657 (1897), at the summons of the spiritual father of the Jewish State, Theodore Herzl, the First Zionist Congress convened and proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country…” (7)

Israel Attacked by Arab Countries The Day After Independence Declared

On May 15^th, 1948 the countries of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia declared war on Israel and the Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, Iraqi and Lebanese invasion began. After several Operations and battles took place over the next eleven months, Israel and Arab states agreed to separate armistice agreements. Israel gained about 50 percent more territory than was originally allotted to it by the United Nations. Greater detail can be obtained from the sources cited in Bibliography.(8)  Here is the link to the historical events of war with Israel.  

God restored Israel just as He said would. They were scattered all over the world for centuries! Now we can see that this is the fulfillment of prophecy before our eyes and in our lifetimes. God’s Word is living and true. His promise is faithful as He told Abraham I will give the land to you for a possession forever and it will be an everlasting covenant.
