When They Say Peace And Safety

“When They Say Peace and Safety”

Text: Daniel 9:27; 1 Thessalonians 5:1–3; Ezekiel 38–39 (KJV)

I. Introduction: A Peace Agreement That Shook the World

On October 10, 2025, a ceasefire goes into effect in Gaza.

The world celebrates.

World leaders call it historic.

But behind this agreement stands a man with no official government position, no diplomatic office, and no elected authority — yet he negotiated with seven nations, drafted the plan, and got it signed.

His name: Jared Kushner.

For some, this is just politics.

For those who know biblical prophecy, this development raises a sobering question:

“Are we witnessing the setup for the fulfillment of The Book of Daniel 9:27?”

II. A Man in the Shadows — and an Ancient Prophecy

• Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump, became a key player in Middle East diplomacy through the Abraham Accords.

• Though out of the spotlight for years, he has privately brokered a sweeping 20-point peace plan involving Israel, Hamas, and key Arab nations.

• This was accomplished without any official government authority, using connections and credibility earned from previous agreements.

Pastoral caution: We must not anoint any living figure as “the” end-time ruler; Scripture calls us to watchfulness, not name-certainty. Yet Scripture trains our discernment to recognize patterns aligned with prophecy.

Daniel 9:26-27 (KJV)

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: 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, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”

• “Confirm” = Hebrew gabar ? to strengthen or make firm something already existing.

• This prophecy speaks of a multilateral covenant with many — involving Israel — and a figure without a throne who brokers it.

III. The Covenant with Many: A Modern Parallel

The recent peace agreement involved:

1. 🇮🇱 Israel

2. 🇵🇸 Hamas (Gaza)

3. 🇪🇬 Egypt (mediator)

4. 🇶🇦 Qatar (financial/diplomatic pressure)

5. 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates (economic backing)

6. 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia (behind-the-scenes approval)

7. 🇹🇷 Turkey (unexpected cooperation)

8. 🇺🇸 United States (security guarantee)

This is not an ordinary treaty. Many of these nations are historical enemies.

But one man worked in secret to unite them.

📖 Daniel 9:27 again: “He shall confirm the covenant with many.”

A. What Daniel Foresaw vs. What We Are Seeing

Daniel 9:27 emphasizes “he shall confirm the covenant with many.”

Unlike a bilateral treaty, this points to a multilateral, coalition-based agreement—exactly what the modern Middle East peace framework resembles.

C. How This Treaty Mirrors Daniel 9:27

• “Confirm the covenant” — strengthening prior efforts rather than creating ex nihilo.

• “With many” — multilateral; multiple Arab states plus Israel.

• “For one week” — while not stated as seven years, the framework’s phased design could align with such a timeline.

E. Why This Treaty Matters Prophetically

Israel is central; enemies at one table; back-channel diplomacy by a figure without a throne; and a peace that Scripture says will be broken midstream.

F. The Danger of False Security

Jer. 6:14; 1 Thess. 5:3 warn that false peace produces lowered defenses and strategic vulnerability—precisely the environment Ezekiel describes (Ezek. 38–39).

G. Pastoral Implications

Be watchful, not fearful; distinguish true peace from false; pray for discernment; preach the Gospel urgently; stay anchored in Scripture.

This is not speculation. It’s happening before our eyes.

IV. The Illusion of Peace: A Biblical Warning

The Bible distinguishes between two kinds of peace:

• God’s Peace — Shalom through Christ; eternal, transformative.

• Human Peace — Political treaties; temporary, fragile.

Christ’s peace is eternal.

B. Political Peace Is Often a Bandage, Not a Cure

Jeremiah 6:14 exposes superficial proclamations of “peace.” Political solutions cannot cure spiritual wounds.

Jeremiah 6:14 (KJV)

“They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.”

Ezekiel 13:10 (KJV)

“Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace: and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar.”

Application:

Just because the world signs papers and shakes hands doesn’t mean true peace has come. Political peace is like a wall plastered with weak mortar. It looks good… until the storm hits.

V. Prophetic Warning: Peace Before Sudden Destruction

1 Thessalonians 5:1–3 (KJV)

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
