Eternal Peace?

What has been described by the President as a bridge to “eternal peace” that will end a “3,000 year catastrophe” is now moving forward at rapid speed.

Both Hamas and Israel have purportedly [and tentatively] agreed to the plan, along with numerous other countries.

Gaza peace talks are now taking place in Egypt. Though significant issues remain to be hashed out between Israel and Hamas, some are saying that after two years of death and destruction, a breakthrough may be near.

The second anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that ignited the war in Gaza falls on the first full day of the Jewish harvest festival, Sukkot, and takes place against the backdrop of fresh hope for an end to the conflict amid renewed peace talks in Egypt.

President Donald J. Trump’s 20 point plan for peace has galvanized a chorus of international praise as the potential pivotal turning point after years of devastating war.

Such a deal might quickly fall apart, but the timing is significant and all eyes are now on the Middle East.

 

Prophetic Significance

From the perspective of students of Bible prophecy, everything about this deal is eerily similar to Israel’s coming peace deal with Antichrist with world leaders coming together to divide the land of Israel and Jerusalem.

Things the Bible predicted so long ago are lining up like jets on a runway, taking off one after another. It can be breathtaking to those who know the signs of the times, who document them, and who share the biblical meaning with others. Not to scare, but to prepare to meet the Lord in the clouds.

The critical components of the 20-point deal include points #16 (barring Israel from [ever?] annexing Gaza or any territory thereof) and #18–20 (finally establishing a “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood).

If followed through, these points are not only dangerous assaults on the Abrahamic Covenant but disastrous for America by leading the call for the world to divide the land of Israel.

Gaza was originally given to the tribe of Judah (Josh. 15:47) and therefore belongs to Israel. The so-called ‘West Bank,’ which will be given over for the ‘State of Palestine,’ is Israel’s biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria and God warned Israel not to divide it.

From Heaven’s perspective, Israel’s agreement with this deal will be seen as breaking the everlasting land covenant (Gen. 13:14; Ps. 105:8-11), which inevitably results in judgment on all the nations of the world (Joel 3).

 

Locked In

President Trump has locked the Middle East into a peace framework with Qatar, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt all on record in support… The design ties aid, reconstruction, security, and a two state path into one package… game theory in motion, every move is now watched, every deviation costs leverage, and Israel is left with no escape route if it breaks from the framework.

President Trump’s Gaza plan resets the equation… Control no longer flows through Jerusalem or Tel Aviv… it runs through Trump… Netanyahu is left with a voice but not the gavel… Israel is written into the deal as a participant… Trump chairs the board and directs the frame.

Stay tuned as the race to the seven year Tribulation is surely picking up steam!

President Trump’s
20 Point Peace Plan

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.
