NATO Agrees to Possible Middle Eastern Troop Deployment

Jerusalem

NATO seems to be willing to support a “peace plan” that will put its troops in the area sometimes known as Palestine:

HERZLIYA, Israel — NATO would offer peacekeeping services to Israelis and Palestinians if both parties request it in a peace deal, the alliance’s secretary general said Wednesday

Anders Fogh Rasmussen said NATO would intervene if a future peace treaty was broken or if the two sides needed assistance.

Until then, NATO would “not (become) involved in the Mideast peace process and is not seeking a role in it,” Rasmussen said.

US President Barack Obama seemed to propose something similar last year (see Will Obama’s Plan Have Jerusalem Surrounded by Armies?).

Notice what Jesus taught:

20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. (Luke 21:20)

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matthew 24:15-17)

And while the NATO offer per se is NOT the direct fulfillment of that prophecy as the armies are not technically to surround Jerusalem, it may be a step towards fulfilling it.

Yet, the reality is that it is likely that the coming European power will cite “peace” as part of its own justification when it does, in fact, surround Jerusalem with armies. Daniel wrote:

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Daniel 11:31)

The “he” above is the final King of the North as is so identified as such in Daniel 11:40. It is believed by most biblical scholars that when Jesus was referring to Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, He was referring to the same incident that Daniel wrote about above.
