The Middle East Peace Treaty: Is This A Sign Of The End?
We want to hear from you! Send us a text!
We press into whether today’s Middle East peace talks signal the end times, and how Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 frame what to watch for. We call listeners to discernment, steady hope, and a Word-shaped life rather than date-setting hype or partisan fog.
• Israel as prophetic time clock and why it matters
• headlines versus prophecy and how to tell the difference
• Daniel 7 timeline, seven-year covenant, midpoint betrayal
• two beasts of Revelation 13 and counterfeit worship
• COVID as stress test for conscience, control, and division
• peace deals, Nobel talk, and geopolitical convergence
• false rapture dates, scoffing, and staying watchful
• core passages to study for end-time literacy
• what faithful pastors should be teaching now
• unity on Christ’s return across pre/mid/post views
• practical readiness: oil, holiness, love, and mission

I know people that listen to when they're working out, when they're driving in their car home from work. Uh, some people do it right before they go to bed, and they just let this word marinate in their spirit. And you know what? That's what we need to do. We need to have the word of God resident and prevalent in our lives and in our souls, you know. But I want to get right into it. I'm not here for a long time, but I'm here to bring you a Holy Ghost time in Jesus' name. And so 30 minutes a day, Monday through Friday, coming to you. And I want to bring you this word even right now. You know, I take a look at everything that's going on uh over there in Israel. It's very historical. You know, let me first say something that's very controversial. I know some people are gonna have a problem with this, but it's all good. I'm built for the conflict. It's all right. You know, uh, I think it's time in some capacity for some people to give President Trump his flowers. Is there anything wrong with acknowledging the man has done something right? I mean, man, my goodness. I mean, you would think you know, the sky's fallen because you say a man that's our president, for all of us, whether we like him or not, has done something well, and we say, okay, he did a good job. He just organized a historic peace deal with multiple nations present. I mean, they came from all over. And there's the possibility, and I know it's up in the air, uh, there's the possibility of Iran getting in on this. That would be a miracle. People are are advocating that he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for what he has done. I mean, you take a look. There was a uh the king of Pakistan or the president of Pakistan uh came on during the speech, if you got a chance to see it, and said that President Trump is a man of peace and mentioned about how he should be nominated. He said, I personally nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, you take a look at this historic deal that's happening. I mean, it won't surprise me if if not before long, you're gonna see the Russia-Ukraine thing dissolve as well. And he will have helped orchestrate that uh to make that happen. You know, there's nothing wrong, even though I may not agree with everything that he does, and you may not agree with everything that he does, uh, to give somebody their flowers when they're doing something right. There's a lot of things that President Trump does that I do not like. But I that does not mean I cannot be objective and be able to say when something is good, when something isn't good, when he's doing a good job, when he's not. And if he pulls this off all the way like it's anticipated, his 20-point peace deal, then man, you've got to give him his props. I mean, it's just that simple, whether you like it or not. It's irrelevant. He is pulling off something that has been tried to be done by uh the Bush family, by Clinton, Obama, even himself back in 16, tried to make it happen, could not do it, and then brought it to pass in 25. I mean, you've got to give the man his flowers. I mean, you've got to say, you know what, I may not agree with everything, but he pulled that one off there and he's doing a good job. He's only been in office nine months, and look at all that he's accomplished when it comes to that. And then he's working on the Russia-Ukraine thing. If he pulls that off, I mean, my goodness. I mean, uh, you're talking about all these people from all over came together. They're all standing behind all nations of the world, many nations of the world, not all, many nations of the world, came together uh to be there for this historic peace treaty. I mean, it's outstanding of what he has accomplished when it comes to that. And I have to give him his file when it comes to pro-life and being the most pro-life president uh that we've ever seen, uh, being willing to put together a cabinet of people uh in the Supreme Court that would be able to overturn Roe v. Wade and give these babies a chance to live. And if you are a believer, you should be able to stand and be able to say thank you, Jesus, for babies not being murdered and people just using abortion as a form of birth control. I mean, less than less than 1% of all abortions are because of rape and incest and because uh of the life of the mother. 1%. So out of 63 million babies, I don't know what 1% of 63 million is, it's not many. That's what you could say where the big the uh the pregnancy had to be terminated early. And to be honest with you, most mothers would probably give their lives for their baby. A real mom is gonna give their lives for their baby. So even if that was a rule, uh, uh, and it was okay, then most mothers are still gonna want to give their life for their baby. That's just the way that mothers are. Mothers are willing. I think about the story, I don't know if you've ever heard about how there was a um a farmer and he had uh a hen inside of a barn and he couldn't get to them. And uh the barn completely burned down, and he went and he found this nest, and there was this charred hen, a mother hen that was on there, and he grabbed, he was cleaning everything up, and he pulled the mother hen off of the nest, and underneath the nest were all her babies that had all uh survived because she was willing to give her life for that. Abortion's different. We'll throw the babies into the fire, and that mother hen gets out there and goes run around and lays down with somebody else that gets pregnant again. She was willing to give up her own existence in order that her baby chicks could live. Imagine if that was the mindset of the people. So I have to give him his props when it comes to that. Uh even opening the door for the church. Um, you know, he's opened the door that he's got someone uh uh in there. Uh matter of fact, many of you may know her, Paula White. Pastor Paula White is in there, and she is orchestrating a I have friends of mine that are part of that, that are part of that faith movement there, that he's opened up the door for the preachers. He hosts dinners and luncheons of prayer time where they come and pray and prophesy and speak over him. I mean, you you know, you you you gotta give him his flowers for that. Now, some of his other antics and things like that. I hear y'all. I get it, I get it, I get it. I wish he would just leave all that stuff alone and just do what he's gotta do. But, you know, it is that way with almost every president. There's probably something in every person that I don't really uh prefer. But, anyways, um, I gotta give him his props when it comes to that. I mean, it's really outstanding. But, you know, this is the thing I want to mention to y'all today. I I want to mention about is this Middle Eastern peace treaty a sign of the end? Is it a sign of the end? Now, before I go any further, I want you to grab your Bible and go with me to um the book of Daniel, chapter number seven, and I want to look at verse 23 through 27. Now, this is Daniel's vision of the Antichrist. Now, I want to show you something. I want to read this too. And I want you to stay with me for a minute because this here, what I'm about to show you, I believe God has shown me some things, allowed me to see some things that I think is happening right now in this moment when it comes to what's taking place. And let me say this before I go into it, that the return of Christ is very, very soon. I I believe that. I know that something is happening in the earth. Daniel 7, verse 23 says, That thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings. Now remember that, are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom, and another shall rise after them. He shall sub he shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the most high, persecute the saints of the most high, shall intend to change times and laws, then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and a times and a half time. And I talked about that before on how a time is considered a year. A times is two years and a half times. So one plus two and a half is three and a half years. And then what does it say? But the course shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people, the saints, and the most high's kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominion shall serve and obey him. Wow. So you take a look there that the Antichrist is going to make a treaty with Israel for seven years. This will mark the beginning of the tribulation. Okay? But in the middle of the three and a half years, he will break the covenant. He will break it in three and a half years, and that's three and a half years or seven, the seven years are separated by two times, two dispensations, if you will. The first three and a half, known as the tribulation, the second three and a half, known as the great tribulation. So it's going to get even worse of going to intensify. You'll read about that in Revelation chapter 13. You'll begin to see not only will there be Satan will be at play, he will embody a human person, become the Antichrist, which is known as the first beast. Then there's another beast spoken of in Revelation chapter 13, that will be a false prophet. Uh, and he will be the one that will actually kind of be the vice president, if you will, to the Antichrist, and he will create what's known as the image of the beast. Now, I'm saying this to you because in the middle of all of that, that's all what's happening. Now, there's so many correlations of what's happening in the earth. So many things that are happening. Now, watch it. I'm sure you all, if you if you serve, if you haven't seen my recent podcast, you gotta go check out Brother Josh. Brother Josh was in the house and proclaimed that the the rapture was coming. All these people sold their homes. I mean, it got it went viral. The rapture was coming. In the middle of the Feast of Trumpets, okay? The Feast of Tabernacles, I'm sorry, the Feast of Tabernacles. Uh, in the middle of that, that's what he was saying is going to happen. It's going to come on this certain date. Man, it's going to happen. He said he was a billion percent sure. Now, those were his exact words, a billion percent. Not a very intellectual statement. I'm a billion and a half percent sure it's going to happen. And as y'all know, it did not happen. So, why am I saying this to you? I believe, ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing in the earth, what has been happening even in 2020, even especially now, is the beginning. Now, watch this. Is the beginning of the end of the end. And what do I mean by that? This, everything that you're seeing is a dress rehearsal for what is coming. I mean, look at this here. I I I gotta show you a couple. First of all, we have this thing that the rapture is going to come, okay? And a lot of people believe because Jesus fulfilled um all three or two of the three of the major feasts. You have the feast of Passover, which Jesus fulfilled on Passover when he died for us. We have the feast of Pentecost, which was fulfilled in Acts chapter two and the day of Pentecost when fully come, they were filled there. Now we saw the Feast of Tabernacles, which people believe that's when the rapture is going to hit and when he's going to come. Now, why am I sharing this with you here? And what where am I going with this? There's a dress rehearsal that's been taking place. I believe what we saw in COVID-19 was the beginning of showing something that could happen where one moment, all of a sudden, people were confined to their homes. And what did they all have to do? They had to get a shot, they had to get a mark or a mask. Uh matter of fact, during that time, the Lord's said, you're only one letter away from the mark. Think about it. People couldn't go anywhere without a mask. You had you went into a store, wherever you went, you had to social distance. It was a trial to see how would people deal with those moments? How would they deal? And I believe Satan was taking notes. I believe he has all of his demons and cohorts and everything else were writing down everything that was taking place to see how many was going to deal with that moment when it happens. Because even though he can't obey the word of God, he knows the word of God and he knows that Jesus Christ is coming back. And he's still going to do what he can to try to deceive and to take people to hell. So I believe during that time there was a study being done. I believe it was a human trial study where everybody was looking, how are we going to respond? And everybody, I mean, you had in think about the division that happened. You had one group of people, people are off for the mask. And if you didn't get the mask and you weren't vaxxed, you were a bad person. I mean, speaking of this, those of you that are watching around the Pittsburgh area, and I remember Aaron Rodgers when he said uh he didn't, they said, have you been vaccinated? And he said, I've been immunized. That was hilarious. He said, I've been immunized. And uh so he made up this word that he came up with because he didn't take the shot, but he didn't want to face what was going on because he didn't want to take the vaccination, but he had said he was immunized. So that was his way of dealing with that, which I thought was hilarious. But, anyways, so you had that whole thing. Families are still divided over this vaxxed and not vaxxed and masked and no masked churches were divided. You saw this dividing line that happened. And I believe people were the devil was studying how human behavior is going to act in a moment like that. Now, fast forward to October 7th, 2023, a Jubilee year, by the way, from the time, from the time of um 1973, their last war. So 50 years almost literally to the day um Hamas invades Israel, takes all these people captive on a Jubilee season. If you think about 50, 50 years from that time, you'd be looking at Jubilee, brings people into captivity, a time when people are supposed to go free. Bam, that happens. There's like a war that breaks out. Um a lot of people believe the battle of Gog of Magog will break out right before the rapture. So then that breaks out. And then we fast forward to Brother Josh. Y'all gotta remember Brother Josh. He said, hey man, God's coming back, and uh he's come back on this day, and everybody's packing their bags and getting ready to go to see how people are gonna respond to the rapture. Just and hypothetically, think about it for a minute. Not that I just want to show you the full picture of what's happened. Many people were taking this thing went viral. And a lot of people, oh, it's no big deal, it's not gonna happen. Now, obviously, we know it wasn't gonna happen, but there was still a study to see how people are going to take a look at it. And then right after that, think about this for a minute. Right after that happened, this whole thing about the rapture hitting and all of that, we go into this peace deal. We go into this peace deal. Well, what's gonna mark the beginning of the tribulation, the seven-year peace treaty? Now, I'm not saying these things are identical. I'm saying I believe they are trials. They are, they are address rehearsals for what's coming. We see this major peace deal that goes on. Now, I'm not in any way advocating, I know some of y'all are gonna love this, thinking that President Trump's the Antichrist. No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, in regards to he had all these nations in the Middle East behind him, all signing and being a part of this peace deal. There's a government coming together, talking about uh the that what is it called? The uh uh the Board of Peace, I believe it's called. The Board of Peace. They're bringing all of these people together from nations all over to be together at the Board of Peace. Well, what is the Antichrist gonna do? He's gonna put together a one-world government. He's gonna put together all these things, seeing how is America, how is everybody going to do with this when it all comes together. And even though he called it an eternal peace deal, it's only gonna be a seven-year peace treaty. All of this, I believe, is a dress rehearsal for what is coming. Then the seven-year peace treaty is gonna be signed right at the time where the tribulation happens. So I'm looking at all of this and I'm like, wow, we are getting so close to where even you've got mockers and scoffers developing fake raptures. And then right after that, we have a peace deal that comes in with Israel and all this stuff that's happening. And I'm like, wow, it's just amazing when you look at all of that, what is transpiring and what is taking place. I believe, ladies and gentlemen, we are closer to the end than we have ever been before. We need to have oil in our lamps, love in our heart, sin and leaven out of our lives. We need to keep a lookout of what's happening in Israel. Now, obviously, um, there's going to be some things that are going to happen between now and then. Now, there's no tell. I'm hoping this whole peace deal goes all the way through and everything is fine. But if there's not, there will be a seven-year peace treaty, one someplace down the line, seven years, not an eternal peace treaty, as Trump called it before. Uh, this is not the peace treaty that is spoken of. It's a seven. Now, if he was coming out here and said, hey, there's gonna be a seven-year peace treaty and everybody's doing X, Y, Z. Now, that's something you better keep a lookout for. I mean, that's something that like, then I I I mean my eyes are up, man. I'm looking, I'm getting my house in order because he's coming back really soon when you start hearing about a seven-year peace treaty. But it has to be done by the Antichrist. And do I believe that Trump's the Antichrist? Not at all. Uh, not even slightly. Um, I don't believe that by any stretch of the imagination. I don't believe the Antichrist is going to come from America either. Uh, most likely it'll be from the Middle East. That's where the Antichrist will come from. But, anyways, um, my point in mentioning all of this, though, is that to keep a lookout and realize the signs and the uh the contractions of life are getting closer and closer, and we're seeing that return of Jesus Christ right around the corner. So I want to encourage you today to get into your word, become a word person. Think about how many people were deceived about the rapture, how people were wondering if it was really gonna happen or not. Not understanding the scripture where Jesus was very clear, no man knows the day nor the hour. So, but I it did not say he would not know the season. Do I believe that we can be aware of the season? Without a doubt. I believe that we can be aware of that, but to know the exact day and time and all that, that's not gonna happen. It's biblic, it's biblically in error. That is a heretical statement to make that. So, very important that we know our word in this season, ladies and gentlemen. Very important that we understand what the scripture says. Listen, study on the rapture, study on the end times, study on what Jesus said in Matthew 24, Luke chapter 21, read uh 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, read 1 Corinthians chapter number 15, read all of these passages of scriptures that will speak to you and talk to you about what Jesus said about the end. You know, he's he even said he didn't want us to be uh concerned over the end times. Uh Paul, when he wrote to the church of Thessalonica, he said, I don't want you to be concerned that the day of Christ is coming on without your aware of it. He goes, I it's he said, for now watch this, for the unbelievers, that'll be that'll take them as a thief in the night, but not for us as believers, for we're children of the day. So we are gonna be aware when the time is getting close. So that's why don't allow, please hear me. Don't allow when preachers say Jesus is coming soon, that that becomes just something in your mind that's kind of like, well, okay, yeah, I've heard that before. You know, I I when is that really gonna happen, Pastor Jay? I know we've heard about this. Maybe it's never gonna transpire. The Bible even warns of that. It says that many will scoff, and then I believe that is in the book of Peter. Many will scoff at the end and talk about how if he's delaying his coming so long, I mean, come on, there must be something unto it. If he's really coming, why does he delay? But then the Bible says the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, but he doesn't desire that any should perish. He wants all to come to the knowledge of the truth. And do you understand that if you don't make it in the rapture, most likely your fate is sealed? You are pretty much sealed. The dispensation of the Gentiles is over. The time of the Gentiles will be over. The time of the determined dealing of the Jewish people in those seven years of tribulation will begin. That's why the devil is coming after the Jewish people, not the Gentiles. He's gonna have the Gentiles under his control. You can read about that in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, that those that chose not to receive the love of the truth will be given over to strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, and they will become the bride of the Antichrist. All of this is upon us. And that's why get into the word. Make listen, if you have a pastor or a preacher that ain't let me give you some things that you can tell if you got a good pastor, in the last couple of years, they should add something in their sermons on this area: the return of Christ, all right, abortion, marriage as God sees it, one man and one woman, transgender. They should be talking about sin. They should be talking about sacrifice, they should be talking about carrying the cross. If they're not talking about those things in the last year or two, it's somewhere in their sermons that I'm telling you this, somewhere you have a gospel being preached that is incomplete. You might even have a person that is more of a charlatan, more that's a hireling, more that's whatever, a heretic, uh, one that's uh a wolves and sheep's clothes. There's a very possibility of that. Because how can you say you are preparing people for the return of Christ and not talking about any of the key things that Jesus talked about? And that's why you've got to be in a church where you're hearing about the rapture, where you're abstaining from the things of the world. You're not hearing a gospel that just says it doesn't matter how you live and what you do. God understands the devil is a liar. You need to be pumped and primed, have oil in your lamps, love in your heart, sending leaven out of your life to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ. He is coming back very, very, very soon. So I wanted to encourage you with that. We're gonna continue to keep praying. And I'm gonna be back here tomorrow as well, talking about the things that are coming, ladies and gentlemen. There is a lot that is coming up in the earth today. Jesus Christ is coming back for you and for me and for all that love his appearing. We've got to get ourselves prepared for his return, ladies and gentlemen. And I want to pray for you because I don't want these things, don't let these things be fearful to you. You should be a have baited anticipation. The Bible says, when you begin to see all these things, look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. If there's anything I can give you today that's more important now than ever before, become a word person, become a wordsmith, become a word man, a word woman, a word guy, a word gal. Get into the word. If you know the word, you will not be deceived. Study to show yourself approved. A workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Know what the word of God says. Yeah, there's gonna be some things that are controversial. Yep, there's gonna be some things that, you know, you could be post-trib, mid-trib, pre-trib. The key is that you believe he's coming back. You know, I've got friends that don't believe in the pre-tribulation rapture uh that like I do. I believe in the pre-trib rapture. I believe Jesus Christ is coming back before all of that. Some people believe in the middle, some people believe in the end. The key is that you know you need to get prepared and that he is coming, regardless. That is the one thing we can all agree upon. But this is the reality. We need to know the word of God and what it says for us. So, Father, I pray for every person listening today that, Lord, you would bless them, anoint them, and fill them. I pray that as we see the news, as we hear the news, as we watch the news, that Lord, we would know what your word says. And so, Father God, I'm praying right now for your blessing to be upon your people today. And we would know your word and know how to interpret these things as they happen and see them through a spiritual eye. And Father, we thank you, and we give you the praise, the honor, and all of the glory. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen, amen, amen. Well, listen, I hope that you have been encouraged, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night, eight thirty p.m. I'll be back here for another episode of Dimensions. I hope to see you then.
