If you are impressed by this week's peace agreements in the Middle East I have some news for you - it won't last.
It is possible that this so-called peace agreement is just playing into the gameplan of Biblical end times prophecy.
A couple of verses that have caught my attention regarding this week's events:
1 Thessalonians 5:3
"While people are saying peace and safety destruction will come upon them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."
This belief often ties into end-time prophecy, suggesting that a false or temporary peace agreement will be broken, leading to a period of judgment for those who do not believe in Christ.Daniel 9:27
"He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."Bible prophecies regarding Middle East peace often focus on a seven-year covenant described in this passage, which some Bible scholars believe will be a temporary, false peace leading to conflict rather than a permanent peace. Other prophecies refer to a future time when the Messiah will bring ultimate peace to the region.
So is this where we are right now? How long will this peace last? Will it lead us in the end times?
