Is the Tribulation Framework

Unveiling Right Before Our Eyes?

The miraculous vote of the UN BOARD OF PEACE

prefigures the Tribulation and fulfills 2,600 Year Old Prophecy

  “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.” (Daniel 9:27)

  “And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and  partly broken.  And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.  And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be  left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” (Daniel 2:42-44)

Is the Tribulation Framework

Unraveling Right Before Our Eyes?

 A global peace board, Middle East peace, and Bible prophecy unfurling everywhere.  We are witnessing the tribulation framework being formed before our eyes.  The Peace Agreement signed by President Trump and Middle East leaders, and the UN Security Council voting to approve President Trump’s peace plan, is what the prophet Ezekiel declared would come alive after more than 2,600 years.

  “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?  Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand and the effect of every vision. For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.  For I am the Lord; I will speak, and the word that I will speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days.” (Ezekiel 12:21-25)

 The U.N. Security Council adopted a U.S, resolution to authorize an international stabilization force for Gaza and back the Trump administration’s peace plan, a significant early step toward rebuilding the destroyed enclave.  Many of the countries the U.S. has hoped will contribute troops and funds to the project indicated to Washington that they would not do so absent the U.N.’s backing.  President Trump will be the Chairman of the Special Board of Peace.  President Trump posted on his Truth Social that the Board will include the world’s most powerful and respected leaders.

 “This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations,” President Donald Trump said on Truth Social, adding that the members of a board to oversee the effort, which he named the Board of Peace, will be announced in the coming weeks, as well as “many more exciting announcements.”

  This is a clear picture of what God tells us in Daniel 2:42-43, “… as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave on to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” This accurately describes UN Leaders; they do not mingle or cleave together, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

  We opened with the verse, ” . . . he (the prince that is to come, Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years-the tribulation period): and in the middle of the week (after 3 1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” (Daniel 9:27)

 This Board of Peace could strengthen an already existing agreement as it moves from the first day it was implemented and made even stronger at the end of the first 3 1/2 years of the treaty.  This Board of Peace could actually be the Ten Horns mentioned in the Book of Revelation 17.  One of those Ten Horns could be the King of Saudi Arabia, who recently visited the White House in November.

  The special Board of Peace could be the group mentioned in Revelation 17:12-13, “And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

 The big question now is, are we seeing the ten kings forming?  The Board of Peace does not have ten members announced or even the number.   As the Bible suggests, they will arise quickly and will be given King status while they are with the beast for one hour.  That  refers to a short time,  This is why this new Board of Peace with President Trump as its Chairman demands our attention.

 Teachers of Bible prophecy have always taught that we would see stage-setting events like this, prior to the rapture.

 Let’s be clear, we do not believe President Trump is the Antichrist.  He does not qualify Biblically.  God tells us in Daniel 11:37, “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.”

 Some qualifications of Antichrist are that he will not regard or respect any religious system.  The phrase “the God of his fathers” brings some to conclude that the Antichrist will be a Jew, but will have no respect for his religious heritage.

 The phrase “the desire of women” may be the one thing that disqualifies President Trump as Antichrist.  Most Bible scholars believe that this Antichrist will have no sexual desire for women, and could perhaps even be homosexual.  Historical interpretations often associate the Antichrist with moral decay, which some link to homosexuality.

 Certain biblical passages are interpreted by some as suggesting non-heteronormative traits in the Antichrist and perversions that 2nd Thessalonians 2:4 reveals the belief ideology of Antichrist.  “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he, as God, sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”  The association may be what we are seeing in our society regarding Transgender, LGBTQ, and other perverted ideologies.  The Antichrist is often depicted as a figure who subverts societal norms, which can include sexual norms.

 This is another birth pang of the many emerging daily.  If the Board of Peace is eventually made up of ten of the most powerful and respected leaders in the world — catch your breath.  Since the rapture takes place before the Tribulation starts, you can readily see how close we are to the time when our Lord Jesus will fulfill his promise to return for us and take us to the place he went to prepare for us.

 It is time to give heed to the words of our Lord Jesus given to us in Luke 21:36, “Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

 Our Lord Jesus only came to this earth to save sinners, who will escape the terrible judgments from God upon this earth.  We are promised in 1st John 1:7, “. . the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”
