therein. But the COURT which is WITHOUT THE TEMPLE LEAVE
OUT, and measure it not; FOR IT IS GIVEN UNTO THE GENTILES:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two
months"(Rev11:1-2).
The Oslo Peace Accord
The Oslo Peace Accord is a "land for peace" deal agreed between Israel
and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and signed in Oslo,
Sweden, in September 1993. The Declaration of Principles (DOP) calls
for two phases. The first phase hands back to the PLO Jericho, Gaza,
Hebron and portion of the West Bank. The second phase deals with
the question of Arab refugees and the status of Jerusalem. Simply
stated, it is dividing the land as foretold in Scripture! Joel says,
"In those days... when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and
Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations...to the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for
my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations,
and PARTED MY LAND!" (Joel 3:1-2).
Daniel tells us that Antichrist will not only plant himself "in the glorious
holy mountain", "magnify himself above all", and acknowledge "a strange
god", but he will "DIVIDE THE LAND FOR GAIN" (Dan.11:36-45).
As already indicated, Antichrist will come out of Europe, from the
Revived Roman Empire which we see forming up under the banner
of the EU. Daniel tells us that he will "confirm" or "strengthen" a
7-year covenant with Israel, which he then breaks after 31 /2 years and
causes the Temple sacrifices to cease. The current moves to rebuild
the Temple therefore indicate that we must be drawing close to the
end of the age! Could the Oslo Accord or a subsequent agreement be
the treaty to be confirmed?
