Let me begin by including a quote from the Lord Jesus relative to the pursuit of peace:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9, The Word of God).
I applaud President Trump for his open mention of the One True God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, even though I do not believe that he truly knows Him or understands Him, but it is further proof of God’s Sovereignty over all humans to complete His plan for humanity.
I applaud the efforts of President Trump and those who have played a role in bringing about this oh-so-fragile peace. It has not been this quiet in Gaza in a very long time.
But it is not truly peaceful in Gaza. The reality is that Hamas has already resumed its violence by murdering so-called traitors in front of women and children. Are these people actually traitors? We know Hamas’ reputation for victimizing their own citizens, their tactical application of truth, and their love of brutality.
As of today (10 Oct 2025), reports are emerging that Hamas is already reneging on the “deal” they allegedly signed off on. No surprise there. Deception rears its ugly head.
They thrive on violence and live for it. How can any reasonable person expect to live at peace with that kind of demonic behavior?
“From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence” (Proverbs 13:2). Emphasis added.
I also share in the well-advised caution of Israel in that they are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude and, for the time being at least, staying alert and aware.
They have heard this song before.
Now we see that their caution is merited.
Unfortunately, they will fall for the empty promises of man at some point in the (possibly near) future, drop their guard, and become a land of “unwalled villages” (Ezekiel 38:11).
At that time, God will personally and directly intervene on behalf of His people, Israel, and it will be undeniable who is their true Protector.
For those who read and pay careful attention to the Word of God, it quickly becomes clear that every verse or principle is clarified, either directly or indirectly, in at least one other verse in His Word. By this, it becomes necessary to consider the context of every verse with the balance of Scripture. That is, I believe, His intended purpose.
There can be no conflicts in the Word of God.
So, with this in mind, how should we realistically view this “peace and safety” that is being lauded all over the world?
When proclamations of lasting “peace and safety” are made by human governments and leaders with the attitude that “there, problem solved, see what we have done!” to believe it requires that the Word of God must be ignored, allegorized, or marginalized.
God’s Word does not permit that attitude to prevail, and fulfilled prophecy proves it.
Then, there is the matter of continuing to divide God’s land, which still lies at the core of all this activity. Continued support, even of the current fragmentation of the borders, without any additional division, still constitutes the “dividing” which God has declared will be His motivation for executing the promise of His judgments prophesied in the Book of Joel. The countdown continues unabated, as we should expect.
“Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land” (Joel 3:1-2). Emphasis added.
It is always wise to remember God’s prophecies that have been fulfilled and consider them the plumbline for those that are looming on the horizon of world events.
“Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4).
When human “leaders” and governments make their plans and “solutions” without fully considering and honoring the One True God, there will be consequences.
When “deals” are struck between them despite God’s clearly expressed will, it is important to realize that God already addressed that hubris thousands of years ago.
“’Woe to the rebellious children,’ says the LORD, ‘Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin’” (Isaiah 30:1).
“They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace” (Jeremiah 6:14). Emphasis added.
Where are we today?
History confirms that unreasoning hatred of the Jews has only increased over time and is especially vitriolic since May 14, 1948, with the rebirth of the State of Israel, an event prophesied by God’s Word. Today, that hatred grows and will soon explode once again.
As with all of His prophecies, Israel’s promised rebirth was fulfilled in minute detail.
“Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children” (Isaiah 66:8). Emphasis added.
The promise and a declaration of peace without regard to God will be futile, as it has always proven to be. Its end result will be the most chaotic time in human history.
“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
Now to the crux of this article.
For my sisters and brothers who may be placing too much trust in secular human endeavor and so forget the Word of God, remember the Author of our salvation and His timeless promises to us that were given directly to John on the Isle of Patmos: that He will bring about the only true peace. The full import of this is made in Revelation 19:10:
“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10).
Will this be the time directly pointing to the prophecy of sudden destruction spoken of in (1 Thessalonians 5:3) above comes about, or will it be an additional type pointing to a future literal fulfillment?
We can’t know for certain, but if it is, then the Rapture of the Church must be very close indeed. We must remain sober, cognizant of the words of Jesus, and alert.
“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).
These terms, “peace and safety,” have never been more loudly declared than they are right now, so as in the signs of the times caution given by Jesus, it would be wise to consider:
“But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash” (Matthew 7:26-27, The Word of God). Emphasis added.
The fulfillment of the balance of the ancient prophesies is piling up.
For those who have thus far ignored or rejected the call of the Holy Spirit expressed in these Words of Jesus, please read the Special message included below.
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).
If you choose to act, are in earnest, and are sincere, it is not too late, but you must do so in your living years.
The special message I promised you:
For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.
You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.
It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.
And, what are His terms according to His Word?
- Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
- Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
- That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
- To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
- Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
- To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.
God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.
- No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
- No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
- Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.
If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.
“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).
There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.
The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
