Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Israel is releasing 26 long held Palestinian prisoners as part of a deal worked out by the United States to resume peace talks.
The release is the second of four scheduled under the agreement.
All of the prisoners were convicted of murder before the 1993 Oslo agreements between Israel and the PLO. The prisoners have served between 19 and 28 years in Israeli prisons.
The announcement of the prisoner release comes on the heels of a second announcement, Israel will continue building Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Palestinians walked away from the negotiation table in 2010 over Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
