Mr. Crouch continues: "The exiting news: the Palestinians will be granted Broadcasting Authority and it is technically possible to cover the entire Middle East from the Palestinian territory, known as the West Bank! We have since met with a number of other leaders in the Palestinian movement and have been assured by all  - from Chairman Arafat to the other ministers of government that our proposal for a TV station will be given full consideration for approval!"

Palestinian "territory?!" Palestinian "movement?!" Palestinian "government ministers?!" The "Lion of Judah" has become the "Lion of the West Bank," and His portion Palestinian "territory?" G-d's pastures are up for grabs? Organized international terrorism, sneaky murder and the reign of lawlessness a valid "movement?" Did Arafat not declare this "fledgling autonomy" merely his first step of his phased plan to take Jerusalem and then all of Israel? Are these "ministers of government" not all well-known terrorists appointed by Arafat, not elected by the people?

Already $ 500,000 have come in from Christians deceived by Crouch, to finance equipment for a station that will serve mainly anti-Israel hate propaganda. Arafat is a Moslem. He is not bound by the Koran to keep any agreement he makes with an infidel. He is a cunning plotter and crafty diplomat to achieve his aims. He'll take the equipment and the money --- and then break his agreement with Crouch. Lawlessness is his nature. 

But Crouch continues: "Praise God, there will be peace in the Middle East according to the Word of God! He loves the Arab and the Jew equally. He has a blessed plan for both and we are on our way to the Promised Land!... Praise the Lord! Peace is coming to the Holy Land, and perhaps we may be a small part in seeing it become a blessed reality!"

If a Christian leader can allude to the agreement between a murderous band of lawless men and the ungodly, apostate Israeli leadership as "there will be peace ... according to G-d's Word," then how will YOU escape the deception? If a Christian leader believes, that the agreement between the PLO and Israel is "G-d's blessed plan" to bring peace to the Holy Land, then what will those millions who trust him believe? Has Mr. Crouch never read: "When people say, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them... and there will be no escape?"¹⁹

I am heartbroken! Have I indeed labored in vain these last twelve years? Have I spent my strength for nothing and vanity²⁰, teaching, preaching, quoting, writing and listing over and over again the prophetic Scriptures which declare clearly G-d's stand in regard to "the cause of Zion?" Have I taught in vain on the believers' relationship with Israel? Have my tireless warnings been sown into the wind? 

If a Christian leader as renown and internationally known as Paul Crouch can be deceived into making a deal with the world's best known terrorist, a man of utter lawlessness, how dangerous, do you think, will the coming deception be? If he who should know the Word of G-d is ready to curse Israel in the Name of Jesus for the sake of the Gospel, believing he is serving G-d's best interests, then how shall the sheep escape?! 

Paul Crouch does NOT understand the purpose and plan of G-d. We already have entered into the beginning of the birth pangs our Lord mentioned. Birth pangs only get worse until the child is born! They don't go away: "Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD; shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb? says our G-d."²¹ We already have entered the divine Ten Days of Awe, which began last year, on the 13th of September, 1993. They won't go away. They will and must culminate in Yom Kippur and the sound of the Last Trump! Only AFTER the Great and terrible Day of the Lord, when the King of Israel shall return to His city, Jerusalem, shall true and lasting peace reign in Israel and throughout the earth. Not before!

Beloved, may this new year (according to G-d's calendar, not that of Rome) prove fruitful for you and bring you the abundant blessings of the Almighty. May He crown you with favor and sustain your body in health and your heart in joy. May He grant you your petitions and to see the desires of your heart fulfilled. May the knowledge of the Truth be your guard against error and deception, and may you continue both as a dedicated disciple of Yeshua our Lord, and a faithful friend and supporter of "Or Tzion," Inc.

In anticipation of "running the race" side by side with you in the coming mighty move of the Holy Spirit I remain

       yours in Him,
