The latest news on the Trump
Middle east peace plan is that it is scheduled to be released this spring after the Israeli election, which is scheduled for April 7, 2019. But next week Jared Kushner will be touring the
Middle East, prepping and trying
to gain support from Middle East leaders on economic aspects of the plan.
Realizing that in the past
when efforts were put forth to divide the land of Israel, which this plan will
include, judgment followed. See the
post: Here Comes the Trump Peace Plan and Here Comes Judgment!
I fully expect judgment to
follow this latest attempt at garnering support for this dividing of the land
of Israel initiative, and since it involves economics, I forecast that at the very
least, economic judgments will follow. And in consideration of the events happening in accordance with the Economist
cover, this may sum up what is about
to occur.
In regards to the peace plan in general, I want to make you aware that this Trump “deal of the century” peace plan, if passed, could be the end times peace plan spoken of in the Bible.
If it is, then it would have a 7 year component to it and in the midst of the 7 years the antichrist would strengthen it. That statement may be strange to some because many Christians believe that the peace plan will begin the last 7 years, and the antichrist will be revealed, and the rapture will occur at this time. I disagree; here’s why.
Revealing of
the antichrist
Another
argument presented by pre-trib adherents against the rapture occurring during
the 70th Week is that they assert that the rapture occurs at the
same time or immediately following the revealing of the antichrist. They reason
further that since the antichrist is revealed at the signing of the peace
treaty (the event that many believe starts the 70th Week), the rapture must
occur at the beginning of the 70th Week.
Proponents
of the pre-trib rapture formulate this belief from two passages:
Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. (2 Thess. 2:3)
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. (Dan. 9:27)
2
Thessalonians 2:3 does, indeed, tell us that the antichrist is revealed before
the rapture will take place, but Daniel 9:27 does not necessitate that the
antichrist be involved in the initial signing of the peace treaty. When you
examine the Hebrew, the true meaning becomes clearly evident. Roy Reinhold,
author of The Day of the Lord and an
expert in Hebrew, has this to say about the verse:
The “he” is the same person throughout the
verse. Higbir is a hifil 3ms perfect verb, and the Qal root verb is gavar
meaning “to be strong, to conquer.” A Hifil is “causative,” and so in this case
the usage is “and he caused to be made strong” a covenant for the many for one
period of seven. In no way does this imply that the “he” the antichrist
originates the peace treaty. What it clearly shows is that the antichrist comes
along after the peace treaty is in
effect and he agrees with it and enforces its provisions.[1]
So an
analysis of the Hebrew brings out the fact that, when the antichrist is
revealed and comes to power in the midst of the 70th Week, the peace treaty
will already be in effect and “he,” the antichrist, will merely confirm and or
strengthen it. Thus, a more accurate translation of the verse would read: “And
he will strengthen the covenant that was made with many for a week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.”
So if
the antichrist will not be the one to make the peace treaty, who is? The Hebrew
rendering of this verse tells us the peace treaty will be made with “the many.”
This suggests that the treaty will probably be the result of an effort by many
nations—like we see now with the “Road Map”—to bring peace to the tumultuous
Middle East situation.
We
also cannot assume that the signing or beginning of the peace treaty aligns
with the beginning of the 70th Week. The peace treaty may simply be
a treaty with terms in effect for 7 years signed sometime during the 70th
Week that the antichrist strengthens during “in the midst” of the 70th
Week
Scripture
tells us that the antichrist does not come to power and reign until the last
3.5 years of the 70th Week of Daniel after the Abomination of Desolation has
occurred. In reference to the antichrist, Revelation 13:5 says, “and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.”
Thus his reign starts shortly after the occurrence of the Abomination of
Desolation in which he deceives the world into thinking that he is God and his
reign continues until he is thrown in the lake of fire at the conclusion to the
battle of Armageddon.

Thessalonians 2:4 confirms when the revealing takes place:
Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who 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.
That
verse tells us that the man of sin will not be revealed until he sets himself
up as God, and he does that at the Abomination of Desolation: “and that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition . . . so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” The verse further tells us
“that day shall not come,” in reference to the Day of the Lord and the rapture,
until after the antichrist sets himself up as God. As we have just pointed out,
that does not happen until after the Abomination of Desolation.
Daniel
7:24 further confirms that the antichrist does not arise until after the peace
treaty is signed, showing us that the antichrist (little horn) comes after the
New World Order (NWO)—the “ten horns”—is established. “And the ten horns out of
this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them;
and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.” The
establishment of the NWO does not begin until after the first seal is opened,
which we will discuss in detail in another chapter. Thus, Daniel 7:24 confirms
that the antichrist arises after the establishment of the NWO, which comes
after the peace treaty is signed.
Therefore,
to say that the antichrist will be revealed before the rapture is correct, but
to say that he will be revealed before the 70th Week, or that the rapture
occurs before or at the same time that he is revealed, has no scriptural support.
In fact, the scriptures make it clear that the Day of Christ will not come
until after he is revealed at the Abomination of Desolation.

Thus
this peace plan may be the peace plan of Biblical prophecy and will not be
accompanied by the rapture, which will not occur until after
Seal 6 is opened. Regardless of whether or not this plan is the plan of
prophecy, in the past actions against Israel and or her land were met with
judgments. Thus I make the following prophecy forecast.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
