Endtime has received a foreign media report that Barak offered to recognize a Palestinian state as early as January 2000, in exchange for a postponement of discussions on Jerusalem and the refugees until after the final-status talks. From the scripture this seems quite possible. While it is obvious that Palestinians will control much of the area of Judea, it is just as clear that Jerusalem will remain under Israel's control until the Battle of Armageddon. Knowing this, it appears likely that Barak's request to postpone discussions on Jerusalem will be granted. Time will tell.
Peace always seems to be that elusive prize, always dangling just beyond our fingertips.
We may read that peace has come, and it may seem true for a short time. But it will always somehow dissolve away. Disputes have raged in this part of the world for the last 3,000 years, and they will continue. Only at the appearance of the Prince of Peace will lasting peace come to this weary land.
