One of the key events of the End Times is a coming peace treaty between Israel and her neighbors which the coming antichrist will broker.
We read about this in Daniel 9:27, “And he, [the antichrist, referred to in the previous verse as ‘the prince that shall come’] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [one set of seven years] 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…”
There’s a lot to unpack in this verse:
The antichrist is going to make a covenant or treaty with the many in Israel for a seven-year period of time. In the middle of that seven years, he’s going to put an end to sacrifice and offerings, which can only happen in a rebuilt temple.
At the temple, he’ll set up an “abomination that causes desolation.” The antichrist will enter the temple, declaring that he is God, and will set up an image in the temple that people must worship in order to buy or sell (see Revelation 13).
The first part of this passage tells us that he will “confirm” a covenant with Israel for seven years. Bible translations differ, saying he will “make a covenant,” “compel a covenant,” or “make a strong covenant.” Some take it as a covenant that already exists, while others suggest the antichrist will compel this covenant, bringing the parties to the table and giving them a take-it-or-leave-it deal.

Maranatha!!!
Things are falling into place on many fronts.
We are seeing the world crumbling faster and faster under the weight of sin making it ripe for someone to step in to “fix” it.
The constant chaotic state we are in makes one wonder how much further the fall will be when 2024 rolls around.
Maranatha!!!
Israel would be insane to give an inch of additional land to “palestinians” (Jordanian squatters) in exchange for needless, pointless “peace” with SA.
There is a UN summit scheduled for Sept 18-19 for the sole purpose of the nations re-confirming a previous covenant and a new 7 year commitment to an accelerated implementation of their sustainable development goals to ensure completion in 2030.
This may very well be the Daniel 9 covenant which marks the beginning of the tribulation.
Not saying it is... but the timing of this is uncanny, coming on the Jewish new year which ends the current year of Jubilee.
The antichrist will arise out of Iran,Iraq,or southern Turkey. He will be very appealing to all and will bring peace in the middle of war
He hasn’t arrived yet. Til he does it’s silly to postulate anything
Isn’t The Church the true Israel? What’s the big deal about Turkic Khazars claiming another itty bitty slice of land? Doesn’t Jesus save you without anything added?
That is called replacement theology and it comes from the depths of hell.
“Many” is more than two countries.

No, Daniel 7 clearly states that the Antichrist (Little Horn/Man of Sin, Son of Perdition) arises out of the 4th beast, which is Pagan ROME. There is only one power that did, and that’s the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. Assumed power in 538 AD and ended by the sword (government) in 1798.
Location: out of 4th beast and among the ten horns (v.8) - The Papacy arose out of Rome among the ten tribal divisions of Rome
Timing: after the ten were established (v.8) - the Papacy became a political power by decree of the Roman emperor Justinian in AD 538 which was after the emergence of the ten tribal divisions that emerged as the Roman Empire fell apart in AD 476.
Uprooted three of the ten horns (v.8) - As the Papacy came to prominence, it influenced Pagan Roman armies to destroy three of the tribes which opposed its Christian doctrines. These three were the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli. The last of these was destroyed in AD 538 when Justinian’s decree went into effect.
Eyes and mouth of a man (v.8) - the Papacy has a man as its visible head.
Persecutes the saints (v.21, 25) - Ever hear of the Papal persecution during the dark ages - Inquisition, etc. More than 50 million Protestant Christians tortured and killed by the Catholic Church.
Different from the other ten horns (v.24) - the Papacy was a religio-political entity different from the kingdoms before it.
Speak out against God (v.8, 11, 20, 25) - Verse 8 says it will utter boastful or blasphemous things. One quote of many like it from Prompta Bibliothea Canonica Juridicia Moralis Theologica appearing in the Catholic Encyclopedia Volume VI, pp. 25-29, “The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted, that he is not a mere man, but as it were, God and the Vicar of God. The Pope is, as it were, God on earth, chief king of kings, having plentitude of power.”
Little Horn attempts to change God’s times and laws (v.25) - The Papacy deleted the second commandment of the Decalogue on idolatry, changed the Sabbath to Sunday in favour of sun worship and divided the tenth commandment on coveting into two parts to get back to Ten Commandments.
Have power for a time, times, and half a time (or three and a half years, forty two months, or 1260 days - see Revelation 12:6, 14) (v.25) - Applying the prophetic day for year principle established in Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6 that equals 1260 years. The Papacy lasted in primary power from AD 538 to 1798 in which year Napoleon’s general Berthier marched into Rome, deposed the Pope, and carried him into exile where he died.
(another view)
It will rise to be a great power after the fall of the pagan Roman Empire (after 476 AD)
It would uproot three of the ten kingdoms the Roman Empire collapsed into
It will be a geographically small nation (a little horn)
It will rule over many people, nations and tongues (it will be universal)
It will be headquartered in the city of seven hills, Rome
It will be a religio-political entity - a political city-state ruled by a priest-king
Its priest-king will make great and blasphemous claims
It will claim authority over all kings
It will claim its power to change the holy times and laws of God as its mark of authority
It will be an apostate Church that makes the nations drink her cup of apostate doctrine
It will be a “mother” Church, with apostate daughters coming from her
It will be a persecuting power, killing the faithful saints of Jesus Christ as heretics
It will hold power and authority for 1260 years following the fall of pagan Rome
It will suffer a deadly wound that will end 1260 years of dominance and persecution
It will be revived after the deadly wound, and all the world would wonder at its revival
Yet you've done just that, haven't you?
No I have merely restated what is said in the Bible
Could you share those verses?
No, you did not. Daniel 7 says nothing about Iran, Iraq, or southern Turkey. It says the Little Horn comes out of the 4th beast, which is Pagan ROME.
Beautiful muse! I’ve seen one too, now.
