Abrahamic Accord-Surprise!
By Joel Joseph
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Nov. 3rd 2020
Introduction:
This edition is primarily about the coming salvation of the Abrahamic Accord nations!
This is a most important issue today. It contains much wonderful truth, which is under attack by the militant Arab nations and, from within the church, by so-called prophetic watchmen, teachers and other misguided ministries.
The Abrahamic Accords are a work of God in these days, with surprising, soon coming results. Mark my words! You should be amazed at what is soon to break forth.
This is a major end-time sign for Israel, It is not what you would think at all. In fact much of what I have to say flies in the face of the passed-down, parrot-repeated error out there.
There is a fanfare of fools flogging dead horses – condemning these Accords. But be careful - today, like never before, these things are all spiritually charged!
If a Bible teacher is misinformed and then repents when the truth hits home – well and good! But when that teacher continues in deception, beware. Bear in mind that deception is seldom static. It grows legs and sinks its teeth in deeply.
To come against what God is doing relating to Israel, always puts you on extra thin ice.
Understand this and understand it very well. God’s anointing and blessing is on His truth.
There is one giant green light for me on this, which is the witness of the still small voice in my heart.
Background to the Abrahamic Accords:
Romans 12:18 “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.”
Abraham was the father of many nations – primarily of the Israelis, the Arabs and the Christian offspring of Messiah. Abraham’s children (not all) will be united in the end days.
There are a number of tribes in various nations of Africa that are Arab descendants of Abraham and some who claim to be part of the lost tribes of Israel. They are currently having the veil of their once hidden identity lifted. They want to come home to Israel or at least befriend Israel in a new peaceful manner.
►The Abrahamic expression of faith, which I fully subscribe to, and have for 40 years, is to the largely Gentile church, the Jew and the Arab.
There are some important, overriding consistencies in the Accord nations making peace deals with Israel. (And some still to come)They are all normalisation agreements in terms of new friendship, business, trade, commercial activities, travel and tourism.
They also agree not to take military action against Israel in future.
●There are no land issues involved at all. ●There is nothing involving Jerusalem. ●There is no seven-year treaty of any sort. ●There is nothing relating to the temple. ●There is no identification of the antichrist. ●There is no sight of the tribulation period.
Not one single aspect of the Accords, bears even the foggiest hint of the Daniel 9:27 peace deal. Yet amazingly, some enemies of God in the church, keep proclaiming that the Accords are the antichrist Daniel 9:27 agreement.
Opposition to this work of God from the church:
Some of these blind, always wrong guides chant in unison that this is the antichrist, satanic covenant because the term “peace and safety” is frequently used.
Some pastors and teachers have expressed horror at the name Abrahamic Covenant. There is no modern Abrahamic Covenant! The term is Abrahamic Accord and it is an appropriate name.
The Abrahamic Covenant (promise) was made with Israel by God and remains fully intact and untouched!
The Abrahamic Covenant will be violated by the antichrist, not the Accords.
The Abrahamic Accord is not the Abrahamic Covenant and does not come a million miles near it.
“Covenant”: Strong’s H1285 “Beriyth.” Meanings: Pledge of alliance or treaty between man and man, or man and God. It is an alliance like a marriage. It can include a transfer of land or shared land / property ownership (as in marriage.)
“Accord” means: “Harmonious agreement of due respect or reconciliation. By definition it does not include land transfer.
If father Abraham was the father of the children of Israel and the Arabs, is it surprising that there would be an end-time reconciliation of the estranged family of Abraham?
Some people need to get rid of their tunnel vision and blind-spot bias!
Some of these blind teachers and watchmen, dress up their dead hobby horse in new garb and make it do a wheelie, to impress others, but it’s still stone dead.
They hear anything containing the words “peace and safety” and think that the rapture must now occur. (And they teach others the same.)
Peace and safety occurs all over the place. Every time you see and hear it does not mean the rapture is about to happen. That’s like saying Mr. Lucky wants to make right with his estranged wife, Mrs. Lucky, so he writes her a letter saying “Can we make a peace deal so that cups don’t get flung around anymore.”
So, the ignorant watchmen must now yell, “Peace and safety, the rapture is about to happen!” No it isn’t, all it means is that someone’s going to get lucky tonight!
The “peace and safety” verse of 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 is followed “immediately” by the tribulation period. This is a perfect, parallel verse to the Daniel 9:27 signing of the peace treaty, which reveals, and identifies the antichrist and starts the tribulation.
It has nothing at all to do with the Abrahamic Accords!
So, Reverend No eyes, if you want to run around yelling ‘peace and safety-the rapture is here,’ because of the Accords, where is the antichrist, where is the tribulation?
This sort of meeting (Daniel 9:27) doesn’t come about overnight. It is planned well in advance. Those that keep claiming that the antichrist confirms an existing treaty are wrong. What treaty would that be? None come anywhere near it.
The original words mean: He makes a strong covenant. The Amplified Bible has it right – look it up!
If you say, as many blind teachers do, that the Abrahamic Accords or the Deal of the Century, or both, are the antichrist Daniel 9:27 peace deal, you have to say that we are in the tribulation now and that Trump is the antichrist. O, yes - so where is the rapture?
Of course this all exposes the total ignorance of those teachers / watchmen and their use of prophetic application. Some of them are led by each other; some are led by lying dreams of others, all out of sync with each other. What a mess!
The attitude of the church:
In many respects the Abrahamic Accords are a normalisation of friendship towards the church as well as Israel, simply because of the close ties of the true church with Israel and also because of our common father – Abraham.
Much of the Arab world is changing. These nations once saw Israel as a threat. They are already seeing Israel as a strategic partner. Has the church recognised this? Thankfully many have, but many have become stronger enemies of God’s plans.
By constantly crying “antichrist” they cry wolf and they miss the real wolf. But in the process they have misdirected others from the truth.
Is it a big deal for a teacher to be so wrong on the Abrahamic Accords? Yes it is because, like replacement theology, it undermines and hinders God’s work. It also identifies that teacher as a shallow shepherd with no Spirit-led discernment.
A doctrinal hobby horse has no Spirit in it, which is why it is dead at the starting gates! Deception always comes with blinkers and veils of blindness to the truth.
►There should be something inside of you that leaps with excitement and bears witness with the truth when it appears and begins to break forth. Like the baby John the Baptist, in the womb of Elizabeth, leaping for joy, as she heard of Mary’s pregnancy with our Lord. (Luke 1:41)
Oh, so John the Baptist leapt for joy in the womb! Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not so clever after all!
Abrahamic Accords and war:
Yes of course the militant side of Islam will continue to hate Israel. Great war is coming involving this lot. But no longer can you lump them all together.
The militant Palestinians, Iranians, Russian and others will become minced meat scattered on the fields. But some Arabs will see and recognise the Lord and be saved. They are identified as the allies of Israel in the Gog and Magog war, (Ezekiel 38:13) as well as now in the Abrahamic Accords.
When God arises His enemies are scattered. Sometimes enemies become friends and in the process some friends are lost, and become enemies and some enemies become greater enemies.
But don’t ever rule out the potential for a human, including a nation to change its tune.
The diagram below represents the way it will all play out. The militant Arab nations, Palestinians included, will make war with Israel and Israel with them. But the Accord nations who have normalised relations will continue in peace toward Israel and Israel towards them.
The Abrahamic Accords will trigger war. What is clearly happening and being seen by those who have eyes to see, is that the militant, Israel hating Arabs, are being sidelined and left out of the blessing that is already starting to flow through to Accord nations.
These hostile nations are being filled with jealousy and their ancient hatred is surfacing.
Now, as they see their cause being eroded, they have an extra motivation for war.
It is Israel that has opened her doors to those who would make peace with her, but many nations will refuse the offer, and line up for war.
Some say the latest Accord nation, Sudan is biblical “Cush” which is one of Israel’s attackers in the coming war of Gog and Magog.
Sudan cannot be accurately identified on ancient maps. On some maps Sudan today falls with ancient “Put” in others it falls under “Cush.” And neither Put nor Cush are clearly defined. So the point is; it is “time-out” on Sudan for now. We will see how it plays out and if Sudan is a bad apple.
Here is another strong and likely scenario: Sudan may end up at war with Israel, but not all of Sudan. It may be just a part, leaving the rest to become an Accord nation. Recently, Sudan split into two nations.
Proverbs 16:7 “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
►►►The Abrahamic Accord miracle and forerunner:
The Abrahamic Accords are an amazing forerunner indeed of a soon coming great miracle. Regular readers know I have been identifying and speaking of end-time forerunners in previous editions.
The Accords are forerunners of reconciliation, and renewed friendship between the estranged families of Abraham. They are a forerunner of the salvation of God coming to certain Arab nations!
That is a most dramatic and exciting statement alone. It should be a wonder to you!
It is a great end-time sign for Israel and the Arab world. It is a great divider between the militant, Israel-hating Arabs, and those set for reconciliation. It’s a divider between some churches, and those on God’s side.
►►►Salvation comes to the Abrahamic Accord nations:
We could accurately say that Egypt’s existing peace treaty with Israel is a forerunner to the Abrahamic Accords.
During the Yom Kippur war a number of spectacular blunders by the Arab invading forces, Egypt in particular, led to Israel’s surprising great victory.
The war led to a peace treaty being signed on the White House lawn, bringing Egypt into a peace covenant with Israel, which still stands today. At that time many cried “peace and security the rapture is coming”. Of course they were all wrong, just as they are today.
We all know of the Isaiah 17 prophecy of the destruction by Israel of Damascus in these end-times. But there are no chapter divisions in the original, so Isaiah 18 is a continuation. Some say it speaks of the USA. That may be so by application. But in literal interpretation, how about this:
Isaiah 18:7 “At that time a present will be brought from the Lord of hosts, from a people tall and smooth of skin, from a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation powerful and treading down, whose land the rivers divide (Nile) – to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, to mount Zion.”
The “present” or gift being brought is from the Lord. The original word, “present”, is used only twice in the Bible. If you look up all the commentaries, you will see they are consistent in identifying this “present” from the Lord to Israel as the people themselves.
This fits in perfectly with the new normalization and friendship Abrahamic Accords becoming the Lord’s “present” to Israel.
Isn’t that just amazing?
Now, consider these amazing verses:
Isaiah 19:18-22 “In that day five cities in the land of Egypt (Arabs), will speak the language of Canaan (Hebrew) and swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction (sun). There will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the Lord at its border. And it shall be for a sign and witness to the Lord in the land of Egypt, for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors and He will send them a Saviour and a Mighty One and He will deliver them. The Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord...And the Lord will strike Egypt and heal it and they will return to the Lord.”
Isaiah 19:24-25 “In that day, Israel shall be one of three with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying ‘blessed is Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel, My inheritance.”
Ancient Assyria, in the verse above, included some of the Arab nations of the Gulf States, now included in the Abrahamic Accords, with others about to join.
Isaiah 27:13 “So it shall be in that day that a great trumpet will sound. They will come who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, and they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”
Again, “Assyria” in the verse above includes some present-day Gulf States or Accord nations. And note it is not all of Egypt who comes in, but only the “outcasts” in other words those who continue the Egypt / Israel peace treaty.
Note that these nations get truly saved. They worship the Lord and not Islam anymore! Those that remain in Islam are likely to be the ones set for war and destruction.
Zephaniah 3:9-10 “Then I will restore to the peoples a pure language (Hebrew), that they may all call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one accord. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, shall bring My offering. In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds in which you transgress against Me...”
These verses above are dramatic and glorious to say the least. They will mature fully in the tribulation period, but we are seeing them begin to bud right now. Peace is contagious.

Isaiah 19:24-25 “In that day, Israel shall be one of three with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying ‘blessed is Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel, My inheritance.”
Ancient Assyria, in the verse above, included some of the Arab nations of the Gulf States, now included in the Abrahamic Accords, with others about to join.

Again, “Assyria” in the verse above includes some present-day Gulf States or Accord nations. And note it is not all of Egypt who comes in, but only the “outcasts” in other words those who continue the Egypt / Israel peace treaty.
