Are The Nations Seeking To ‘Impose’ A Peace Covenant Between Israel And Her Neighbors? According to Ezekiel 38, before the invasion occurs, there must be peace and rest in Israel. This is an essential precondition for the Gog Magog invasion. Not only does Israel need to be re-gathered and brought from the nations, which occurred in 1948, but they will also have to be living “in safety.” That doesn’t describe Israel today. Israel, sometime in the future, will have some sense of security and let down their guard. That is, I believe, going to happen because of a covenant or treaty that the Antichrist will make to bring peace to that part of the world. That will likely have to be in place before the Gog Magog Invasion occurs. Daniel 9:27 says, “he [meaning the prince/Antichrist that is coming] will confirm [you can also translate that word as compel] a covenant with many for one ‘seven’ [set of seven years]. In the middle of the ‘seven’ [years] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.” The event that starts the seven-year Tribulation is this peace treaty that the Antichrist makes and forges with Israel and its neighbors. Revelation 6 is the beginning of the Tribulation when this counterfeit Messiah rides forth on his white horse, “conquering and to conquer.” It describes him as having a bow with no arrows. So, his conquest is diplomatic—it’s a bloodless conquest—and he is going to make this peace agreement with Israel and her neighbors. That peace condition will be the precondition for the Gog Magog war that will occur in the tribulation period. This week, Time magazine published an article titled “A Million Dollar Middle East Peace Plan,” which I encourage you to read. It lays out a scenario for peace between Israel and its Middle East enemies that is chillingly similar to what the Bible predicts. The author, Kai Bird, says, “This conflict is so dangerous that the time has come for the international community to impose a solution.” A compelled solution to the nations? That is precisely what Daniel 9:27 says, “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.'” Some take the idea of “confirming” to mean that he will simply strengthen an already existing covenant. But that idea of “confirming,” literally in Hebrew, means to “make strong.” He is going to make strong a covenant—or even “compel” a covenant. The Time Magazine article insists that “the international community” needs to “impose a solution.” According to the author, they must “convene a Geneva peace conference” where all the essential parties will be forced to participate and “face financial and legal sanctions if they fail to show up.” “A conversation will take place in which all parties are heard,” the author described. “But the American, European, and other international diplomats invited to Geneva will be responsible for the actual drafting of a peace treaty.” The plan is to “impose peace” upon these nations. That’s what the Bible predicts. It will be an imposed, compelled, or “take it or leave it” covenant that will be negotiated and brokered by the Antichrist, who will rise from Europe and a revived/reunited Roman Empire. The current crisis between Israel and Hamas, as well as Israel and Iran, is setting the stage for the Gog Magog war, but it’s also setting the stage for the event that has to proceed that war, which is the coming Middle East peace. All the ingredients for this Middle East peace are coalescing. We see a coalition of willing partners now for Israel. We see people calling for peace to be imposed by outside forces. All the key threads are being woven together right before our eyes. A possible escalating cycle of attacks will only serve to further prepare for the Antichrist’s arrival and the coming time of Tribulation. What is happening right now is a flashing red light that the coming of Jesus Christ could be very soon. From what I understand, this is an idea of what needs to happen. They usually float these ideas to give the public time to get used to them. I Googled... Geneva Peace... and see that there is a meeting June 15-16 to talk about Ukraine peace. Then October 14-18 there is a Peace Week scheduled. And the rapture is not the start of the tribulation, the "confirming of the covenant" is. Although, both are probably close together in time. @patrician I believe there to be a gap between the rapture and the start of the tribulation due to the saints being in heaven and no one found worthy to open the scrolls to the deed of the earth except Jesus. By World Israel News Staff A news outlet controlled by the Palestinian Authority reported that its bitter political rival, Hamas, is intentionally manufacturing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza by killing aid workers and stealing food meant for citizens. The bombshell claims were made by a news anchor on PA-controlled Awdah News, a program which was then posted on the PA’s official Facebook page. According to an Arabic-language translation by MEMRI, the report states that Hamas “attacked and killed” numerous aid workers in order to prevent entities other than Hamas from distributing humanitarian goods in the Strip, and to “ensure Hamas control over humanitarian aid and its storage.” Hamas’ seize of humanitarian goods has led to “these crazy and unreal prices” for food “that nobody can pay.”
