How Does This Endorsement By The United Nations Security Council Confirm The Prophetic fulfillment of President Trump’s Peace Plan?
The following is a biblical-eschatological / prophetic examination of this recent news from the United Nations. There are 3 parts of this examination:
- What Daniel 9:27 states and how it is applicable to the UN endorsement;
- What the current Gaza peace plan and UNSC endorsement involve.
- How and where the parallels/strengths and the significant objections reside.
1. What Daniel 9:27 states in his prophecy of Israel, the Jews, and the fulfillment of this prophecy.
“And he (the prince) shall confirm a covenant with many (nations) for one week (seven years); and in the midst of the week (after three and a half years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering 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)
This prophecy is specific. A covenant of peace between the “prince” between Israel and many nations that will result in the beginning of the Seven-Year Tribulation, or Seventieth Week of Daniel.
The duration is “for one week” (in Hebrew, the word shabbat ‘sevens’ is used) to designate a seven-year period of time.
This covenant is confirmed by “he” (in context often taken to be a “prince who is to come,” i.e., a future figure) after the sixty-nine weeks (Daniel 9:24-26) and before the seventieth week (the final “week” of the prophecy)
In the middle of that week, the covenant is broken: the sacrifices and offerings cease, the “abomination of desolation” is set up. Many link this to the second half of the seven-year period (3½ years).
This covenant of peace does not specify that the Peace Plan itself will be for seven years, only that the result of the signing of this Peace Plan will be the beginning of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy.
From our vantage point, we see President Donald Trump as the facilitator of this Peace Plan, and many nations agreeing to the terms of this covenant. Whether Trump is the actual “Prince” that Daniel specifies, we cannot say for certain. There is, however, no other person in the history of the world who has ever achieved this result. This gives us great pause in consideration that President Trump may be the Prince that Daniel describes.
2. What is the Trump-Peace Plan and the UNSC endorsement?
On 17 November 2025, the UNSC adopted a resolution (13-0 with abstentions) endorsing the U.S.-drafted peace plan for Gaza (associated with Trump). The plan envisions a “Board of Peace” to administer Gaza, an international Stabilization Force (ISF) to demilitarize Gaza, a transitional governance structure, and a possible “pathway to Palestinian statehood.”
The plan is endorsed by many nations, and the UN now gives backing, which provides international legitimacy for a peace-deal architecture. Israel remains cautious/has objections; Hamas rejects the plan in key respects.
This UN endorsement presents us with a major peace initiative involving Israel and/Palestinians, and multiple other nations, international governance, and broad recognition via the UN.
3. How does the UNSC endorsement strengthen the fulfillment of the Daniel 9:27 prophecy?
The fact that the UN (the highest international body) has endorsed a peace plan that concerns Israel and many nations raises the global importance of the Peace Treaty-scenario specified by Daniel: the “many” nations’ inclusion is present in a broader sense (both Middle Eastern and global actors).
This action demonstrates that an agreement involving Israel (and Palestinians) can now gain multi-national and institutional legitimacy, which is one of the requirements for a “many-nations” covenant.
The plan has structural features such as a transitional governance body, demilitarization, an international force, etc. This type of enforcement mechanism by an international body makes it more than a symbolic accord — it is a substantive treaty framework, which matches the idea of a “firm covenant” in Daniel 9:27.
This support by an international authority raises the profile of the Middle East peace process in a way that aligns with the prophetic expectation of a major treaty event involving Israel in the last days (according to the prophecies of the Bible). These facts are specified in two of my new books written in response to the “Peace Plan,” instituted by Donald Trump: “Days of Wrath: The Final Sign,” and “The Last American President: Prophecy, Peace, and the Return of the King.”
Some object to the significance of this Peace Plan, because they say that it is not specific to a Seven-Year Duration.
In my initial examination of the Daniel text, I felt that it refers to “one week” (understood as seven years). The current plan does not explicitly state a seven-year duration. I previously wrote that “If the peace plan is not for seven years, it cannot be Daniel’s prophecy.”
Upon careful re-examination of the Daniel Prophecy, I noticed that Daniel 9:27 does not actually require the covenant to state a seven-year duration. The text only reveals that the covenant results in the final “week”—seven years—coming into effect. This distinction is crucial, and you are fully justified in asserting it.
The Text Itself Does Not Require the Covenant to Announce Its Duration. Daniel 9:27 says: “He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.”
The Hebrew does not say that the covenant must be written for seven years; the treaty must declare a seven-year term, or that the parties must understand the full duration. The prophecy simply states that the covenant will be the mechanism that initiates the final “week”—seven years in God’s sovereign timetable.
In prophetic literature, God is revealing the length of the period, not requiring the human treaty to label it.
The Peace Plan specified by Daniel 9:27 could be: open-ended, indefinite, renewable, conditional, or even ambiguous…and yet still functionally initiate the final seven-year period predetermined by God.
In Daniel, the covenant is made “with many” and involves Israel intimately. The current plan involves Israel and Palestinians and multiple states, yes — but not (so far) a singular actor identified as the “prince” figure in the prophetic text. The treaty is driven by the US and Israel/Palestine rather than a future “world-ruler” at this stage. Some interpret the “he” in Daniel as the Antichrist (a future figure), the “Prince.” This person may be Donald Trump, or someone that we have yet to be introduced to.
The Temple / Sacrifice Clause: Daniel 9:27 describes the end of sacrifice and offering and an “abomination” in the new third temple. For many bible expositors, this requires the third temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem very quickly during the first three years of the seven-year Tribulation. The current plan concerns Gaza and governance; it does not (so far) address the Jewish Temple, sacrifices, or their cessation. This discussion will not likely take place until after the church is removed and the antichrist is formally introduced, according to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-8: “And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”
From a precise biblical view, this Temple will not be approved or built until after Jesus’ church is removed from the Earth, before the Seven-Year Tribulation begins. We know this is true because the timeline in the Book of Revelation specifies that Jesus’ church is already in heaven in Revelation chapters 4-5, before the Tribulation begins in chapter 6.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) endorsement of Trump’s Peace Plan does dramatically increase the certainty that this current Peace Plan is the one described by the prophecy of Daniel 9:27. This endorsement today November 17, 2025, dramatically increases the certainty that this is the time specified by Daniel, and that the Trump Peace Plan is the covenant of peace Daniel described.
Things to watch for that may or may not be mentioned before the Rapture of Jesus’ church, as Paul described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, as required, before the Seven Year Tribulation begins:
- Will the peace treaty or plan explicitly specify a seven-year term (or language like “one week” or “seven years”)?
- Is a major leadership figure (beyond national leaders) identified as the broker of this covenant, perhaps signifying “he” from Daniel 9:27?
- Is there mention of resuming Temple sacrifices in Jerusalem, or a covenant involving a temple/offerings dimension?
- Does Israel (and many nations) formally commit to the treaty, and is the treaty practically enforced (troops, governance structures)?
- After the first three and a half years of the Tribulation (the midpoint), there must be the abomination event (ceasing of offerings) that fulfills the final part of the Daniel 9:27 prophecy:
Daniel 9:27: “But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”
A Scriptural Precedent: Human Actions Do Not Always Match God’s Timetable
Biblical covenants and prophetic time periods often do not match the verbal wording of human agreements:
- The 70 Years of Captivity: Jeremiah prophesied 70 years (Jer 25:11; Dan 9:2). Babylon never wrote “70 years” into any policy or decree. Yet God counted the years exactly
- The Decree to Restore Jerusalem: The decree (Dan 9:25) did not specify “483 years, ”but God measured 69 weeks from it precisely
- Jesus’ 3½-year ministry: No document stated Jesus would minister for 3½ years, yet prophecy (Dan 9:27; 12:7) is fulfilled to the day
Prophecy tells us the duration, but not necessarily man’s contractual duration.
The Language “Confirm a Covenant” Suggests Strengthening, Not Creating, a Pre-Written 7-Year Treaty.
The verb gābar (גָּבַר) means to strengthen, to make firm, to enforce. This strongly implies that the prophecy speaks of a covenant already in motion or a broader agreement that is then made firm, enforced, or finalized. It does not require a document announcing “seven years,” or a treaty that specifies prophetic terminology. The seven years come from God’s decree, not the treaty’s wording.
Why These Past Facts of Prophetic Fulfillment Greatly Strengthens the Case for the Current Peace Plan of President Trump to be the same events as Daniel 9:27. If the treaty does not need to state “seven years,” then the evaluative criteria shift dramatically. Any major internationally backed covenant involving Israel and “many” nations could initiate the final week—even if open-ended.
The recent UN Security Council endorsement does exactly that: It is global; It includes “many;” It centers on Israel/Palestinians; It creates an enforceable framework; It has international monitoring & governance; It introduces transitional authority structures; It sets a new geopolitical re.
The “seven years” could be God’s measurement, not man’s contract.
This means that the prophetic clock can start when the covenant is “confirmed” (strengthened, enforced, imposed), and Israel enters into this Peace Plan, not when a treaty states its duration is 7 years..
This removes the biggest objection that biblical scholars have today: “It’s not the Daniel 9:27 covenant because it does not say ‘seven years.’” My view is that the term of 7 years is not important to the fulfillment of the Daniel 9:27 prophecy. The prophecy itself never required such a statement that the Peace Plan is 7 years.
The Key Question Then Becomes: Does the Covenant Fit the Conditions, Not the perceived requirements of human understanding?
- Israel as the central focus of the Daniel Prophecy
- There are “many” (nations, bodies, institutions) involved
- The covenant being “confirmed” or enforced by a global actor
- Does it restructure regional governance/security?
- Does it create conditions for a rebuilt Temple?
- Does it introduce a monitoring/enforcement mechanism?
- The UNSC resolution significantly checks these boxes.
- The only missing pieces now are:
- a future temple
- The sacrificial system
- the midpoint abomination
…but the covenant itself need not declare any of these elements. It only needs to be the launching point, not the entire seven years articulated in advance.

Daniel 9:27 does not require the covenant to state “seven years”
Primary Text: Hebrew phrase: “וְהִגְבִּיר בְּרִית לָרַבִּים שָׁבֻעַ אֶחָד” “He will confirm a covenant with many one seven [i.e., one week].”
The verse states: duration: “one seven” — God’s measurement. Action: “confirm a covenant” — man’s agreement, but it never says: the human treaty must declare a seven-year duration, the covenant must contain this number in writing, or that the parties must understand the fulfillment. This is unanimously recognized by Hebrew scholars:

HALOT notes no usage of gābar meaning “create a covenant of predetermined duration.”

Thomas Ice “Nowhere does Scripture say the treaty announces its duration.”
Source: Thomas Ice, Bibliotheca Sacra, Vol. 154 (1997), pp. 244–246.
An Evidence-Based Conclusion: Scholarly consensus across Hebrew lexicons, classical commentaries, and modern conservative scholarship agrees: Daniel 9:27’s “one week” is God’s prophetic measurement. The text does not require the human covenant to state seven years.
The verb “confirm” (gābar) refers to enforcement/strengthening—not the wording of a seven-year contract. All precedents show God reveals the duration; humans do not need to write it.

sir, I am not yet saved and I don’t know what to do. I’ve heard the gospel before, around 7 months ago. But I was never able to get saved due to struggling with spiritual pride, spiritual blindness, the need for control, unbelief in Jesus’s sacrifice being sufficient to save me, and I also struggle with seeing myself as a sinner and my need for a Savior. I know that God said he’ll send a great delusion and that the beginning of the tribulation those who could’ve been saved will no longer be able to. I don’t know what to do, usually I’d probably be on the floor crying and sobbing but I feel apathetic. I’m so weary of seeking help and release from these things and seeking salvation that I’m not even surprised I’ll be probably spending my eternity in hell. I’ve vented all these things to God and asked for help, but I feel my heart continuing to resist and grow more weary and tired of fighting off these spiritual battles. Are you sure the great tribulation has begun? Am I out of time? What do I do? Please pray for me, like really pray that my soul may be saved. The gospel is so simply yet my own sinful nature has locked me out. Please tell me whether the great tribulation has begun, because if it has then I have failed and ran out of time.

Margo,
If you are ready to make a decision for Jesus and experience the forgiveness of all your sins, and have eternal life, you can pray a simple prayer and tell the Lord you are ready to receive Him. He will hear you and respond with forgiveness, a new life, and the assurance that when you die, you will live in heaven with the Lord and all who love Him, forever.
Pray this prayer and mean it with all of your heart, and Jesus will hear you and save you:
“Jesus, I want to receive You as my Lord and my Savior. Thank you for dying for me on the Cross to pay for all my sins. Please forgive me, Lord, for every sin I have committed during my life. Take away the burden of guilt and replace it with your peace. I want you to be the Lord of my life and guide me every day in all of my decisions. Please take control of my life and lead me where You want me to go. I turn away from the old life of sin I have lived before I met You, and I ask You, Lord, to help me live a new life of righteousness. When I sin again, please forgive me and restore me. Thank you, Lord, for coming into my heart at this moment. Give me boldness to live for You and not be afraid to tell those I know what You have done for me. Please help me live for You all the days of my life and to bring You the glory You deserve. Remind me to pray for my family and friends every day, so that they might also come to know You and be saved. I pray these things in your name, Jesus, Amen.”

I am posting this note here as a mere speculative observation. Matthew 25 contains the parable of the Ten Virgins. For whatever reason, this one specific parable has been stuck in my head for months; and, as I have thought about this while studying Brother Rob’s observation concerning this Peace Deal, I have come to this observation concerning this specific parable.
Here are some summarized specifics of this parable:
As we all know from witnessing the events of the past Feast of Trumpets in September 2025, and, how the bridegroom did not come during that Feast, as we all had wished, He was delayed from our perspective as shown in the 2nd point above. Many, including myself, were hopeful of His arrival but some burnt all of their oil proclaiming September 23rd as the day; whereas, some cautioned, including the author and many commenters of these pages, not to do such a thing. Thus, two groups of people became – those who cautioned and those who threw caution to the wind thus fulfilling the first point.
So this parable has 3 important points left to be fulfilled. With all the fan fare from the past Feast of Trumpets going unfulfilled, there will be some who will stop watching (the oil for the lanterns has been consumed) and there will be those who will continue to watch, study and learn as we are doing here in these pages with Brother Rob.
Therefore my observation. The coming Feast of Trumpets (meant as multi-year) will more than likely not have the same fan fare as the last and given all the events happening around the peace deal many will not be watching during the coming Feast with the same faith and enthusiasm as the last; which, makes the coming Feast of Trumpets ideal for the cry to go out stating the arrival of the bridegroom fulfilling the final 3 points of parable specified above.
Jesus and the prophets have left us many clues in the writings of the Word. We must continue to dig through them for understanding just as Brother Rob is doing with his writings and observations concerning the Daniel Chapter 9 prophecy.
But I wish to be clear about what is important which is the arrival of our Lord for His church and we know that is imminent because of the events Brother Rob is writing about. It is also important that Brother Rob continue to write about what we are seeing because if grows our faith and our expectation for the Lord which is the MUCH NEEDED OIL to keep us in the ready group of people as outlined by the 5th point above.
Brother Rob. You are to dear to more than you know.
All prayers and blessings be with you. We praise the Lord for you.

Do you think the great tribulation has begun?

I do not believe it has begun simply because Revelation 6:1 has yet to happen (the unmasking of the antichrist). My post was in favor of the PreTribulation rapture of the church which I believe occurs prior to the beginning of the Tribulation period.
I do however believe that the structures for the Tribulation Period have been in place for many thousands of years and is now at a point where it can be seen (maybe not as clearly as we would like) given the prophecy of it that we have.
The question you ask means to me that you are watching too. And that is the point of the Ten Virgins parable (IMHO). So please keep watching. Brother Rob has done a wonderful job reporting the signs to us.
Blessings and Prayers always.
