Treaty with Death and Hell?

Isa 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isa 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

From a Christian Zionist perspective, it's read into Daniel 9:26 that the prince of the people that come is the antichrist and he'll get Israel to make a treaty of peace, aka “The Treaty with Death and Hell”! It is a false peace and it starts the 7 year tribulation, according to these end time false prophets. Mid way through, or 3 ½ years into the reign of the antichrist, he breaks the peace treaty and attacks Israel, and if not for Jesus' coming to rescue “His” people, they'd all be destroyed! Of course, these false prophets believe that before this happens they'll be raptured out of the world. That's a lot to believe, but it's a common misinterpretation of the end times. To believe this you have to believe that Daniel's prophecy line, 70 weeks (most people agree that a week in prophetic time is seven years), goes for 69 weeks, or 483 years straight, and then is on hold indefinitely until the end times and Jesus' return.

Number one, that makes no sense, number two, the “people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” was the Romans who in fact destroyed Jerusalem and the temple! The prophecy of Daniel 9 has been fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem and the complete destruction of the Temple as Jesus predicted would happen:

Luk 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
Luk 21:6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Luk 21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
Luk 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Luk 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Luk 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Luk 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luk 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Luk 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luk 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
Luk 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luk 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Luk 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
Luk 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
Luk 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luk 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
Luk 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luk 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

In Daniel 9:27 it says “ he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease”. The he here has to refer to Jesus, He was crucified, in the middle of a 7 year period, thus paying the price for sin forever! And also making an end to the sacrificial system. The Jews under the influence of their Babylonian rabbis, the scribes and Pharisees, had rejected, betrayed and had their Messiah put to death, just as they had all the previous prophets sent to them. And the horror that came upon them as punishment shouldn't have been a surprise to them, Daniel and Jesus both foretold of it:

Mat 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Mat 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Mat 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Mat 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Mat 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mat 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Mat 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Mat 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Mat 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Above is a parable, as the Lord said, convicting the children of Israel of their sins regarding the treatment of God's prophets, and finally, even the only begotten son of God, but below is the actual prophetic curse upon the Children of Israel spoken by the Lord Jesus:

Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

The Lord even referenced it in Matthew and Mark! Those that listened to Him were spared the devastation, and fled as He commanded them:

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

The false prophets erroneously attribute the verses where Jesus' refers to the prophet Daniel as meaning a future time. Ignored is that there is actual historical evidence that Jesus made this prophesy of the Temple being torn down, and it happened, His prophetic nature has been confirmed!

Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luk 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

There can be no dispute that the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, as Jesus said it would be. The disputes come in when you bring a false doctrine called Dispensationalism into the truth of the Gospel! It basically says there are two separate ways to gain salvation, one for Christians and one for Jews, a dual covenant theology. This doctrine has no biblical basis at all, but is stubbornly clung to nonetheless. Joining this false doctrine to bits and pieces of other myths we get a fairy tale concoction of the rapture, once saved always saved, dominionism/take back the world for Christ/America as God's gift to the world, a third temple in Jerusalem, the prosperity doctrine farce, et al, proving Paul's word inspired when he wrote:

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Everyone of those false doctrines are demonstrably untrue, but the parable/prophecy/curse concerning the Jews, Jerusalem and the Temple spoken by Jesus is true beyond dispute! When they indeed rejected the Son and had Him put to death, as the parable in Matthew 21:33-44 states, then they suffered the curse of Matthew 23:29-39. The Temple was destroyed, the Jews were scattered all over the earth, their house is indeed desolate! Finally, not mentioned by today's Zionists is that this condition is to stay this way until they accept Jesus as their Messiah sent by God!

Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

This leads us to one of the most grievous errors of Christian Zionism and apostate Judaism: the support of the modern day Jewish people in reclaiming historical, physical Israel as their homeland. As the Words of Jesus state clearly above, they cannot be in the good graces of God until they recognize Jesus as their Savior! Obviously, they have not done that, so why would God want you to help them in their rebellion against Him? Answer that question apostate Christian! If their house is to remain desolate until they accept Jesus, why would God want you to help the apostate Jews regain control of land that is not theirs because of unbelief and disobedience? Can't you see now that you are just enabling the Jews in their rebellion against God? As Genesis 12:3 is so commonly misused I'll attempt to put it right:

Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Can't you see Christian Zionist that you are cursing the apostate Jew to eternal damnation by encouraging their false beliefs: that they are entitled to a physical homeland that was lost through disobedience? If you truly want to bless the apostate Jew, then show them their grave error and do not enable them any more! Even some sects of Judaism, while not accepting Jesus as the Messiah, still know that they are in a state of diaspora or dispersion among the nations until the Messiah appears!

Concluding this article by leading back to the title of it, the Treaty with Death and Hell, we see that the treaty is not something in the future, it was destroyed by the coming of Jesus Christ:

Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isa 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Just as God destroyed the treaty with death and hell through Jesus, every promise that is believed to be unfulfilled by Christian Zionists and apostate Jews has in fact been fulfilled by Jesus Christ!

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Everything you are waiting for before the second coming has been fulfilled, and anything else is false doctrine! Jesus Christ IS the fulfillment of all God's promises to Abraham!

The United States and modern day apostate Israel are and have been in agreement to allow Israel to commit genocide against the rightful heirs of the land, the Arab Palestinians, both Christian and Muslim resident alike, slaughtered, displaced from their homes, humiliated by their oppressors, lacking the necessities of life because of cruel and inhumane blockades, discriminated against in an Apartheid system like the former South Africa. When you support modern day Israel in their open rebellion against God, you become an accomplice to the murder and torture and displacement of the Palestinians. Worse yet, in an eternal sense, you are enabling the apostate Jew's damnation for rejecting the true Messiah and encouraging a false hope of salvation with the end time false doctrines you espouse.

Just as history repeats itself, many times false doctrines lead to making the same mistakes of the past. It is what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. Although the treaty spoken of in Isaiah 28 was destroyed by Jesus in His first coming, a modern day treaty, which will also lead to death and hell exists between America and Israel: the Americans have supplied Israel with dual use technologies (military and civilian use) including nuclear technology, weapons, money, they have and continue to shield Israel from international law violations by virtue of having veto power in the United Nations, and made it clear whether it's an official treaty or not, that America will guarantee Israel's safety. The apostate American “Church” provides money and moral high ground for Israel's genocide against the virtually defenseless Palestinians. As most of the civilized world recoiled in horror at the brutality of the invasion of the Gaza strip late in 2008, the “church” and the mainstream media echoed the lies of the Israeli government. The American government rushed shipments of cluster-bombs and other weapons to Israel to run up the body count of women and children killed. When it was over an independent investigation by a Jewish Zionist judge, i.e. a person of the Jewish faith, who believes in modern Israel's right to the land that God has dispersed them from, concluded that Israel had bombed homes, schools, hospitals, etc. resulting in over 1300 dead, nearly a 1000 of which were women and children! Despite that, the American government continued their unconditional support. The American government, and most of the American “Church” and modern day, apostate Israel have indeed been tied together in a treaty with death and hell! An unspoken treaty, that if continued will lead to the death and final resting place of hell for all the apostates involved in these evil works.
