Concerning the so-called ceasefire and peace deal between Israel and Hamas: on Oct. 8, 2025, Pres. Trump said:
- “It’s been really an amazing period of time and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so great for this country, for the United States of America, and that we could be involved in, you know, making a deal like this happen because it was, you know, many years they talked about peace in the Middle East.
- This is more than Gaza.
- This is peace in the Middle East.”
I have prayed for the peace of Jerusalem too many times to count (for years).
I wish I could tell you that I think Pres. Trump is right.
Nevertheless, I believe the prophetic scriptures are screaming “WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!”
World leaders will eventually (perhaps very soon) sign a worthless peace treaty for seven years (and this may lead to that), but Jesus clearly taught that the world would have wars and rumors of war until the Second Coming of Jesus.
I want to quickly mention Hamas and their 1988 Charter.
- Article 6 says Hamas is a distinguished Palestinian movement whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam.
- Article 11 says the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf (holy possession).
- Article 13 says Israel will exist until Islam obliterates it.
Later, Hamas added the following statement:
- Article 20 says Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.
As I see it, Pres. Trump’s ceasefire doesn’t address the real issues, and Israel’s only option is to defend itself against a group of religious fanatics that are determined to destroy it.
The Bible clearly teaches that all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea (and more) will go to Israel, not Hamas.
It is Israel’s holy land, not a Palestinian holy possession.
Sadly, Israel will have to go through the Tribulation Period before the nation accepts Jesus as its Messiah and the issue is settled.
Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.
One, on Oct. 9, 2025, Israel approved a U.S.-brokered plan to end the war with Hamas. Israeli troops will pull back to a so-called “yellow line,” leaving them still in control of 53% of Gaza, and Hamas will release all of the hostages (both living and deceased) within 72 hours (by 1:30 a.m. Oct. 13, 2025).
After all of the hostages are returned, Phase II of Trump’s 20-point plan is supposed to begin, in which Gaza is to be de-radicalized and demilitarized and then redeveloped with a temporary technocratic, non-political administration in charge (with Hamas out of control).
(My opinion: The Palestinians are taught from birth to hate Jews. The idea that they can immediately be de-radicalized is fantasy. Bible prophecy teaches that the effort to destroy Israel is not over.)
(Update: On Oct. 11, 2025, it was reported that Hamas is murdering Palestinians who oppose its rule over Gaza. According to the report, Hamas has recruited about 7,000 fighters in an effort to continue its control of the Palestinians.)
(Update: On Oct. 11, 2025, 200 U.S. military troops arrived in Israel to monitor Trump’s 20-point plan. Several other countries are expected to send security forces and representatives to help monitor the ceasefire, distribute humanitarian aid, and prepare for the reconstruction of Gaza.)
(Update: On Oct. 12, 2025, fighting broke out between Hamas and a group of Palestinians in Gaza. 52 Palestinians and 12 members of Hamas have been killed. According to the report, Hamas has killed Palestinian children and burned Palestinian houses.)
(Update: On Oct. 12, 2025, it was reported that a senior Hamas official said, “Hamas will not take part in the transitional phase, meaning that it has given up control of the Strip, but remains an integral part of Palestinian society.” My opinion: Changing their name from Hamas to the Palestinian Society means Hamas intends to continue its efforts to destroy Israel.)
(Update: On Oct. 13, 2025, Pres. Trump is planning to be in Israel for a speech before the Israeli Knesset and then a meeting with members of the hostage families. He will then travel to Egypt for a meeting with more than 20 world leaders to discuss Gaza’s future.)
(FYI: Some peace advocates are already calling for a broader Middle East peace agreement. In Biblical terms, it sounds like they are calling for the current agreement to be strengthened (Dan. 9:24-27.)
(FYI: For those that are interested, here is a link to an excellent article about how Trump’s plan may relate to Bible prophecy: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=8939).
(Update: On Oct. 13, 2025, Hamas released 20 hostages. According to Israel, this was all the remaining living hostages. Hamas also released the bodies of four of the twenty-eight deceased hostages, and Israel called this a breach of the agreement. An International Board is supposed to try to help locate the bodies in the next 72 hours.)
(Update: On Oct. 15, 2025, Hamas released two more bodies that it said are Jewish hostages, but Hamas said it can’t get to any more bodies. Israel warned that continued violations could trigger a resumption of military operations, signaling that renewed fighting remains a very real option if the group does not meet its obligations. Pres. Trump said he may authorize Israel to resume military operations in Gaza if Hamas fails to fulfill the terms of the ceasefire agreement.)
Two, concerning the Abraham Accords: on Oct. 11, 2025, it was reported that:
- Trump wants to seize the momentum (generated by his 20-point plan) to expand the circle of the Abraham Accords.
- Trump wants to bring in the Saudisand the Indonesians.
- Trump will move forward with the Abraham Accords, and he will try to make it happen.
(My opinion: We could be seeing the development of a covenant with many for a worthless peace in the Middle East.)
Three, concerning the persecution of Christians at the end of the age: here is a link to a two-minute 19-second video that will bless your heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7E6VmzmPuk
(More: On Oct. 12, 2025, the RAIR Foundation USA reported that Germany — once the heartland of Christendom — is facing a continuous alarming wave of anti-Christian hatred and desecration. Across the country, churches are being vandalized, sacred statues mutilated, Bibles burned, and worshippers harassed — all while politicians and media downplay the growing hostility toward Christianity in the name of “tolerance” and “diversity.”)
Four, concerning the coming mandatory digital ID in the UK and how it probably relates to the Mark of the Beast: here is a link to a 5-minute 46-second video that explains a lot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfKkCnIAYIM
Five, concerning Islam’s effort to take over the world: on Oct. 11, 2025, it was reported that while passing through Judea and Samaria, travelers can see signs everywhere: bright-red signs warning Israelis in three languages that entering a Palestinian Authority town is “forbidden, dangerous to your lives, and against Israeli law.”
(My comment: If Muslims are willing to kill Jews who enter a Palestinian-controlled town in Israel, will Muslims eventually threaten to kill U.S. citizens who enter Muslim-controlled towns in the U.S.? I believe America’s leaders need to pay more attention to what many Muslims believe, what they are taught, what they support, what they do, etc. The voters in New York City, Minnesota, Texas, etc., need to recognize the danger that they could be facing in the future.)
Six, on Oct. 13, 2025, Pres. Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset.
Here is some of what he said:
- “Today, the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace and a region that will live, God-willing, in peace for all eternity.
- Trump called on additional countries to join the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords that normalized diplomatic ties between Israel and several regional Arab and Muslim nations.
- Peace is not just a dream; it’s a reality that we can build upon piece by piece.
- Israel is today stronger, more respected, and more loved than it has ever been.
- The world loves Israel again. Peace, security, and coexistence (peace, safety, and coexistence) can finally flourish.”
(My opinion: According to the Bible, the guns may stay silent for a short time, but Israel will have to go through the Tribulation Period and accept Jesus as their Messiah before they have peace. Other nations will probably join in the Abraham Accords in a covenant with “many” that will eventually be strengthened by the Antichrist, but he will break it.)
(FYI: Israel must now withdraw from part of Gaza, and Hamas must disarm. Many things can still go wrong.)
(BTW: During his flight to Israel, Pres. Trump was asked if former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair would serve on a new “Board of Peace” to temporarily rule Gaza, and Trump replied, “I’ve always liked Tony, but I want to find out that he’s an acceptable choice to everybody.”)
(Update: On Oct. 14, 2025, Netanyahu said Hamas must give up its weapons or all Hell will break loose.)
(Update: On Oct. 14, 2025, it was reported that Pres. Trump said, “We have told them – Hamas – we want them to disarm, and they will disarm. And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them, and it’ll happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm.)
Seven, concerning the release of the hostages: when Pres. Trump took the podium to address the Israeli Knesset,
- He thanked the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as well as numerous members of his delegation, for their contribution to the return of the 20 Israeli hostages.
- Then, he thanked Prime Min. Netanyahu.
Concerning Jerusalem: during his speech, Pres. Trump said:
- “For thousands of years, Jerusalem has been a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and people of all ethnicities and creeds.
- This is the holy center of the world’s three great Abrahamic faiths. . . Adorned with their sacred sites and alive with their pilgrims and visitors from every corner of the globe.
- But here between the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the hill called Calvary, people of every faith and background live, work, pray, serve, and raise their families side by side, and they do it with love.
- This example is just one of the modern miracles that Israel has given to the world.”
(My comment: I am very concerned about Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan, the Abraham Accords, his position on AI and bitcoin, etc., and I view him as an immature baby Christian, but I think recognizing Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel is one of the greatest and most significant things any President has done. I appreciate him mentioning the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the hill called Calvary. These places are about to become earthshaking issues. Don’t forget that Hamas said they started the war because Israel was planning to rebuild the Temple. I am not a prophet, and I don’t know what will happen, but it wouldn’t surprise me to read that Pres. Trump supports a rebuilt Temple as well as a rebuilt Gaza.)
Eight, concerning peace in the Middle East and Trump’s “Peace Conference” with more than 30 world leaders (many) in Egypt: on Oct. 13, 2025, Trump announced the creation of a new “peace council,” led by Egypt, to oversee Gaza’s political and security transition.
(My opinion: This is a developing situation that could happen very fast or that could drag on for a while, but Bible prophecy teachers have many excellent reasons for believing we may be seeing the development of a covenant of peace in the Middle East. Trump mentioned peace and security – peace and safety – in Israel, and he announced the creation of a peace council in Egypt.)
Nine, concerning Islam in America, on Oct. 15, 2025, Whatfinger posted a Megyn Kelly video clip and brief article about Islam that said:
- In the U.S., where Muslims now number over 3.5 million, polls reveal alarming disconnects: A 2017 Center for Security Policy survey found 51% of American Muslims believe Sharia should override U.S. law, with 25% viewing violence as justifiable against those offending Islam.
- Such sentiments echo the Muslim Brotherhood’s explicit mission, as outlined in its 1991 memorandum: “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means… enabling [them] to conquer and destroy the Western civilization from within.”
Ten, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Oct. 14, 2025, it was reported that torrential rains in Mexico have caused flooding and landslides that have:
- Killed at least 64 people.
- Left at least 65 people missing.
- Damaged nearly 100,000 homes.
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
