“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:…” Daniel 9:27.

Introduction

This is a familiar passage to all serious students of Bible prophecy. I, like most others, have always thought and taught that the “covenant” in this prophecy would be some sort of peace treaty, which would bring to an end a war or conflict between Israel and their enemies and guarantee “peace” to Israel for seven years.

This MAY BE the exact truth about this “covenant,” but in the past few days I have been given reason to seriously restudy this passage and realize that my past view MAY NOT be correct at all. I believe what is taught in this verse is important enough that I am using this study to call it to the attention of God’s people.

Then however this prophecy is fulfilled, God’s people and others will have been warned. I take my responsibility as a “watchman” seriously, Ezekiel 33:1-6.

The Covenant

What exactly is “the covenant”? I don’t know! I wish I did! The Hebrew word that is translated as “covenant” in this verse is the word, “berith.” This is the customary word used for a covenant or agreement or treaty or league throughout the Old Testament. All that can be derived from the definition for this word is that the “covenant” will be some sort of agreement made between “many” for a period of seven years.

But now let’s look at the word…..

Confirm

The Hebrew word that is translated as “confirm” in this passage is the word, “gabar.” This Hebrew word literally means, “to prevail; act insolently; to be strong; to overwhelm; to strengthen; to bind; to enslave; to bring into bondage; to show oneself victor.”

See Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, page 156, Strong’s No. 1396. While this is the literal meaning of this Hebrew word, it IS NOT the meaning commonly put forth by most prophecy buffs. Usually it is just casually stated by prophecy students that the “covenant” will be “strengthened.” Period!

But the complete literal meaning of the word makes it clear that the “covenant” being “strengthened” involves a greater plan for “binding, bringing into bondage, and enslaving” some person, people, or peoples. Who would this be?

The immediate context of the verse suggests that it will be Israel and the Jewish people. But are they the only people who are the object of this plan? Let’s just consider for a moment…..

The New World Order Agenda

Folks, it is well known by serious Bible students that the Illuminati, or as this group is presently referred to today, the New World Order, has had a plan in place for some 400 years to dominate and enslave the whole world in order to set up and firmly establish their own anti-God and anti-Christ kingdom on the earth.

Today they are working their plan feverishly using the governmental bodies of the world. They are now so close to achieving their wicked goal, that from time to time some Illuminists even publicly boast, “We can’t be stopped now. We have won!” Well, not quite! But they are close! How close? Let’s now take a look at…..

The Copenhagen Conference

This conference is going on right now while I am writing. It convened on the 7th day of this month, and is presently in progress in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference is expected to continue through December 19th. The President of the United States is scheduled to address this world conference on December 18th.

It is expected that all 192 nations of the world will at one time or another be represented in this conference. The reason claimed for convening this world conference of nations is to discuss World Climate Control, and get as many nations as possible to sign a treaty agreeing to reduce so-called “green house emissions” by whatever amount the “world body” formed at this meeting calls for in their “treaty.”

Folks, the treaty [or covenant] has already been drawn up in advance of this conference by the “environmentalists” and “global warming” advocates. This conference is simply to get the input of the various nations represented and to make such changes in the treaty as are felt needed by majority vote of the representatives attending this world conference.

It is needless to say that most of these representatives are staunch globalists, environmentalists, and those advocating a curb on “global warming.” In other words, “the deck is stacked” before the votes are even taken.

Those who have access to this treaty report that every nation that “signs on” will become subject to “international law” as determined by the United Nations and the World Court. In other words, every nation who “signs on” is surrendering their national sovereignty to this world body.

Further, every nation who “signs on” will be subject to heavy fines [millions or billions of dollars] for non-compliance to the terms of the treaty as agreed upon by the world body, and even subject to international “take over” of their governments by officials appointed by the World Court who will force the nation to comply with the terms of the treaty. Read Daniel 7:23-24 again!

Hello! Are our readers awake yet?

My Questions…??

Is it possible that the “covenant” prophesied in Daniel 9:27, instead of being some kind of “peace treaty” as I and many others have considered it to be in the past, could be the very World Climate Control Treaty that is being discussed and debated and voted on in Copenhagen, Denmark even as I write?

Is this possible? I personally think that it is “possible.” It is absolutely certain that this treaty under discussion and debate in Copenhagen at this very moment would be “a means” of imposing a one world government on all the nations of the whole world, under the guise of “saving the world.” Sic! Sic! Sic! Are you listening?

“Strengthening” the Covenant

And what would “strengthen” this treaty” more than to have the President of the United States of America throw the entire wealth and power of this great nation behind this “covenant” agreed upon for “one week” [seven years] by the world body meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark even as I am writing this study? Well…??

Conclusion

Am I saying that this World Climate Control Treaty is absolutely the “covenant” of Daniel 9:27? I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT! All I am asking of my readers is to consider this “possibility,” pray about it asking for enlightenment from the Lord for both yourself and me.

I do want to point out that if this treaty being discussed and debated in Copenhagen right now SHOULD BE the “covenant” of Daniel 9:27, then it ought to be obvious to God’s people that the resurrection and rapture of all true believers is right at the door.
