All negotiators know that understanding the culture of a people is paramount to the process of treaty negotiations. A business deal or a cease fire can be undone because of a cultural snafu. The Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations just took a significant turn within the cultural context of those two countries yet few have recognized the prophetic importance of what just happened.

 

This past Monday evening, the Israelis and Americans both came into covenant with Allah by eating the food dedicated to Allah on Allah’s Ramadan holiday! Most westerners will view this as just a nice gesture toward peace because we don’t understand that the Bible is written in light of ancient near east context which the two countries still uphold in these modern times. Just a few days before, Obama had hosted a fifth Iftar dinner at the White House during Ramadan. Americans have gotten used to this “muslim stuff” in the White House, so what is the big deal and big difference between those other Iftar dinners and this one? Those other dinners celebrated Ramadan, but they were not related to the official business of making a treaty between two parties.

 

What happened to the Children of Israel when they made covenant with Peor (Num 25:1-2)? YHVH exercised His right to destroy them under the terms of their covenant agreement with Him! A plague killed 24,000 of them came because they ate the sacrifices of Peor (meat dedicated to Peor) and committed fornication with the Midianite women. We may believe that this ancient near east context no longer applies, but we would be wrong. YHVH does not change. His definition of what constitutes a covenant is still the same. Eating a meal with people who are engaged in the celebration of their god with meat dedicated to that god constitutes making a covenant with that god according to every definition given by YHVH in scripture.

 

Furthermore, the people of the near east still live in a culture that honors the ancient near east context. Nothing has changed there. This understanding is thousands of years old. The peace treaties of the past several decades were always sealed with a dinner but never before have the treaty negotiators eaten a meal with the enemy on that enemy’s holiday with meat that was dedicated to their enemy’s god.

Joshua / Yahoshua 22:18 Now then, are you turning away from following the LORD today? If you rebel against the LORD today, by tomorrow he will be angry with the entire community of Israel.

Yes, on Monday, July 29, 2013, both Israel and America became muslim nations in the eyes of YHVH. Israel is no longer just a Jewish nation. She is Israel in covenant with YHVH’s enemy, Allah. America is no longer just a Christian nation. She is a nation in covenant with YHVH’s enemy, Allah. YHVH views this as idolatry and treason!

 

Did the participants of this dinner know what they were doing? Yes they did! Why else would they fly the PA flag next to the Israeli flag in the Knesset a day and a half later for the first time every in history!? That flag flew in the Knesset BEFORE the dinner was held! Oh yes, my friends, Tzipi Livni and Saeb Erekat knew exactly what they were doing! John Kerry’s blind and insane desire for fame makes him culpable, too.

Spiritually, Jacob just made covenant with Esau and Esau’s god, Allah! The players all knew what they were doing. They understand the ancient and modern near east cultural context of this. And now, in YHVH’s eyes, it appears as if the WHOLE House of Jacob is converted to Islam.

Jos 22:18 Now then, are you turning away from following the LORD today? If you rebel against the LORD today, by tomorrow he will be angry with the entire community of Israel.

Not satisfied with the Iftar covenant meal in Washington DC, the Israelis and Palestinians took a further step to seal and celebrate the newly made covenant with Allah before and in the face of YHVH by engaging in another Iftar meal. Some 40 Palestinians and Israelis shared an Iftar feast in the West Bank on Wednesday in a show of solidarity. Iftar for peace: Palestinians break fast with Israelis in West Bank. Yes, you read that right. Israelis officially approved the covenant made in Washington with a covenant meal IN the Land of Israel! Another step in the new covenant will be the Islamic Beast’s image on Temple Mount directly after the shut down of the Altar.

 

Scripture tells us that a husband can cancel the oath of a wife. It may be that YHVH could have cancelled the oath of Israel with the Palestinians, but we must remember that this is more than an oath. This is a covenant with another deity. And this covenant is just another reason why the Bitter Waters trial is coming to His people. To misunderstand or not believe the importance of this will be to miss the prophetic significance of it.

Note from HN News editor: 

May we humble ourselves in prayers of repentance! 

Please Pray with me!  Abba, we stand in the gap and we repent on behalf of the house of Judah and the house of Israel. Abba, we are the people of Jacob, and we have done very wickedly in sitting in a covenant meal with the people of Esau. We have come into alignment with another god, Allah, whose root and origin is BAAL.  This covenant meal was done to kick off “piece talks” to divide YOUR COVENANT LAND, and those at the table were in agreement to DIVIDE your land.

 

Abba, in your eyes, this is spiritual adultery.  Truly we have provoked you to anger, we have betrayed you and broken your heart in aligning with the god of BAAL and ALLAH.  Abba, we deserve your judgment. Abba, we humble ourselves before you.  We repent of this grievous sin. Abba, in the midst of your judgment, would you please have MERCY on your remnant people? Would you mark those of us whose hearts are torn, who weep before you because of this treachery, this unfaithfulness?

We repent on behalf of our people, Ephraim and Judah, and we ask your forgiveness. Help us to return to YOU,

please wash and cleanse our hearts, Abba, that we might be found to be a FAITHFUL bride and not an ADULTEROUS bride. In Yeshua’s name,            amein and amein
