Many fulfilled prophecies tell us we are at the end of the End Times. Four horses (apostasy, communism, capitalism, Islam) are on the run. The World Wars, Cold War and Iraq Wars are five trumpets that already sounded. World War III and Armageddon are still future. China, Russia, radical Islam and European Union are fighting to replace America as the leader of the world. Since we are so near the end of the Church Age, there is one important piece (pun intended) of the puzzle still missing, peace in the Middle East. The covenant between Israel, Palestine and the Arab nations is required before the Tribulation begins.

He [Antichrist] shall confirm the covenant with many for one seven [years]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the [Jewish] sacrifice and the offerings to cease (Daniel 9:27).

To have peace in the Middle East, there must be peace between Israel and Palestine. Israel, the children of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob claims the land. Palestine, the children of Abraham through Ishmael and Esau, claims the land. The choice for peace is between a one state or two state solution.

Now the Lord had said unto Abram, You get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you: I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:2-3).

One-State Solution

The One State Solution is a proposal for Israel to govern the whole area of Israel including Gaza, Judea and Samaria (West Bank). God promised Abraham a land, a nation and spiritual blessing for all people. The land extends from the Nile to the Euphrates that covers Israel and parts of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. After the Ottoman Turks lost World War I, the British divided land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Because Israel accepts the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan and Palestine did not, a one-state solution has been in effect since 1948. Israel rules the land while the Palestine Authority has local control over Judea and Samaria. Since 2006, Hamas controls Gaza.

In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15:18).

Two-State Solution

In 1917, the British Balfour Declaration promised a home for the Jewish people with rights for others. After World War I, Allied Powers divide the Ottoman territory between Turkey, France and United Kingdom. France controlled Lebanon and Syria while the British controlled Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine. Between World Wars, Palestinians riot against Jews and increased immigration into the territory. In 1937, the Peel Commission proposes the first two-state solution, giving 17 percent (Northwest coast, Galilee) to Israel, 75 percent (Judea, Samaria, Negev) to Jordan with the Jerusalem area decided later. Israel accepts without agreeing to borders but Palestinians reject the plan. At the Bloudan Conference, Arab leaders refuse both the partition and a Jewish state in Palestine, claiming all of Palestine.

The British government said "the political, administrative and financial difficulties involved in the proposal to create independent Arab and Jewish States inside Palestine are so great that this solution of the problem is impracticable."
----Woodhead Commission, partition plan for the Peel Commission, November 9, 1938

In 1947 after World War II and the Holocaust, the UN Partition Plan gives 56 percent to Israel which is half desert and 43 percent to Palestine with Jerusalem being an international city. Israel reluctantly accepts and declares independence on May 15, 1948. Palestinian refuses and the Arab-Israeli War begins. Once again, another peace treaty fails and the victor writes the boundries (Psalm 83:4).

Personally I hope the Jews do not force us into this war because it will be a war of elimination and it will be a dangerous massacre which history will record similarly to the Mongol massacre or the wars of the Crusades. We will sweep them [the Jews] into the sea.
----Azzam Pasha, General Secretary of the Arab League, October 1947

In that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it (Zechariah 12:3).

The 1949 Armistice draws the Green Line, known as the pre-1967 borders. After the war, Israel controls 78 percent, the size of New Jersey. Arabs not Palestians control 22 percent, the size of Delaware. Egypt occupies Gaza and Jordan occupies Judea and Samaria (West Bank of Jordan). A two-state solution has been the goal of negotiators for eighty years but long term peace has proven impossible  Lasting peace is still out of reach.

Government Leaders on the Two-State Solution

The Roadmap represents a starting point toward achieving the vision of two states, a secure State of Israel and a viable, peaceful, democratic Palestine. It is the framework for progress towards lasting peace and security in the Middle East.
----US President George W. Bush

Let me be clear: The United States strongly supports the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. That is a goal shared by Palestinians, Israelis, and people of goodwill around the world. 
----US President Barak Obama

Basically I support a two-state solution on Israel. But the Palestinian Authority has to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
---- US President Donald Trump

As we look to the future, the only real solution is a two-state solution.
---- US President Joe Biden

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
----Yaser Arafat, Palestinian National Authority

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever (Revelation 11:15).

The United States is instrumental in deciding this final Middle East treaty. According to Scripture, the covenant will cause the Tribulation, fall of America and Armageddon.

He [Antichrist] shall confirm the covenant with many for one seven [years]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the [Jewish] sacrifice and the offerings to cease (Daniel 9:27).
