Question: Is the peace pact that has just been signed between Israel and the PLO the covenant that Antichrist will confirm?

Response: The present agreement is not the one which Antichrist will confirm, for that will be for seven years (Daniel’s 70^th week) and will involve the rebuilding of the temple (2 Thes:2:4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
See All...) and the reinstituting of animal sacrifices (Dn 9:27). The current pact and other negotiations are prophetically significant to the extent that they move Israel and the world in the direction of the final false peace. The world must reach the point of complacency (Lk 17:26-30), of believing “peace and safety” have been achieved (2 Thes:5:3
See All...); and Israel must eventually feel secure (Ez 38:11-14) so that Antichrist’s destruction of Israel and the world will be “by peace” (Dn 8:25).

Arafat has stated repeatedly, even since the deal with Israel, that the Palestinian flag will soon fly over Jerusalem. His talk before the National Press Club in mid-September revealed again the sly cynicism of this evil man. He adroitly avoided giving direct answers which would condemn him. When asked whether, if he took over Jerusalem, any Jews would be allowed to live there, he smilingly replied that the Arabs and Jews were cousins who had lived together peaceably for centuries. Then what of his campaign of hatred and murder carried out against the Jews? No one asked that question. When asked why the Jews, who had mistrusted him for decades, should begin to trust him now, Arafat replied: “Many didn’t trust Jesus Christ to begin with,” putting himself on a par with Christ! For such fraud and hypocrisy he received enthusiastic applause from representatives of the press.
