Looking Down at the Peace Deal

16 10 2025

Understanding the Gaza peace agreement depends on your perspective. The most common error made by Christians analyzing news is forgetting our place. We are not restricted to only an earthly view. On the contrary, we have the unique privilege of seeing the news from Heaven’s balcony. If we only see from man’s view we miss what God is doing in the events. He has a purpose. He sees the end from the beginning. Knowing the Bible and listening to the Holy Spirit, we can see what others cannot.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”  Ephesians 2:4-6

While my body is still on this earth, my spirit man is seated in Heaven with Jesus! That is why we can “look down” on earthly news. So will this Gaza peace deal hold? Yes, because it is part of God’s purpose as I have often referenced Amos 1:6-7. This is the fourth Gaza war in 20 years. My view is that God plans for a time of peace in Israel for this next season years. Teaching from Psalm 102, Psalm 83, and Ezekiel 38, and other passages has shown me an understanding of these present times.  I like to say: “If you desire to understand God, you must learn to stand under Him.” One of my life verses is this great description of the Biblical tribe of Issachar.

“of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;”  1 Chronicles 12:32

This level of understanding is possible because we can hear from God. We can pray for “eyes to see and ears to hear.” If believers don’t listen and hear God then we are no different from unbelievers. The older I get the more amazed I am that God is very much involved in current events. He is the ultimate “promise keeper.” Every word He has spoken in the Bible will come to pass. We can trust Him and even more wonderful, we can hear His voice in the Bible and by His Spirit which agree one hundred per cent of the time.

Please pray for me as I am working on new booklet that will outline the present Biblical timeline in a simple format. It will summarize the Biblical view of current events. This Gaza agreement is right on schedule, even if more fighting will be necessary to enforce the disarming of Hamas. Hamas will be eliminated from any future in Gaza. In addition, as I said last week, I see many Arabs coming to Jesus!

Please pray for the true peace of Jerusalem, Yeshua Sar Shalom, Jesus Prince of Peace.

Eyes to See

23 01 2015

Abe LincolnWhat in the world is God doing? Or, more exactly: What is God doing in the world? Can we expect to see from His perspective. Is it possible to see His Hand in the affairs of men? Or are we blinded to His actions?

Today I want to explain why my heart burns for God’s people to have their eyes and ears opened to see and hear what He is doing. I am not speaking of life after death, but being spiritually alive in a world that is dying.

Why do I blog and do video updates every week? The answer is in the name of our ministry: Elisha Vision Ministries. This blog is called Elisha Vision Commentary. My YouTube video is Issachar Forum, but it is under the name of “Elishasees”. I lead a meeting at a local restaurant every Sunday night called: Issachar Forum: A Prophetic Think Tank. But it is all about “seeing”. And it is based directly on the Biblical account of Elisha, his servant, and the Syrian Army.

The Syrian King’s attacks on Israel were known ahead of time and he learned that Elisha was telling Israel where the Syrians would attack. So the King sent his army to capture Elisha. When Elisha’s servant saw them he was afraid until Elisha prayed for his eyes to open:

So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Yehovah, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:16-17

This is why I am in ministry. My prayer is for God to open our eyes to see His mighty Hand in the affairs of men. Do not look down in fear and discouragement. Look up to Yehovah God and His Son, Yeshua ben Yehovah. We have read the end of the Book, and we win! If we see the world through God’s eyes and take our stand with Jesus, we will see the victory. God is the one who sees “the end from the beginning”. Don’t get caught in these last days with blind eyes. I pray God will open your eyes and your ears to His purpose in every situation. Shalom, shalom!

​”Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, ​declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,’ “ Isaiah 46:9-10
