This article expresses my understanding on Pres. Trump’s proposed “Deal of the Century” (new name is “Peace to Prosperity”) because it is so important.

One, “Peace to Prosperity” is a proposal to be negotiated, not a final treaty (meaning there will likely be additions, deletions and changes to the document; perhaps, but not necessarily, some type of 7-year requirement).

Two, “Peace to Prosperity” is very much about the peace and safety of Israel and the prosperity of the Palestinians (gives control of all military forces, air space, borders, etc. to Israel).

Three, it enlarges and moves Israel one step closer to the borders that God established (but is still far short of what God gave to Israel).

Four, it recognizes Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. (It rejects the PA claim to Jerusalem, makes Jerusalem a cup of trembling and burdensome stone for the world, but Israel will eventually get Jerusalem and this proposal says Jerusalem belongs to Israel.)

Five, it calls for a two-state solution on the Promised Land that will clearly divide the Land of Israel, but it requires the Palestinians to meet conditions that they say they will never accept. (There won’t be two states unless the Palestinians reach an agreement with Israel, but it will divide Israel, further divide the U.S. and eventually bring on the Battle of Armageddon, if they establish two states.)

Six, among other things, to become a Palestinian state, the PA will be required to:

• Recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish nation.
• Root out and get rid of the terrorists in PA-controlled areas.
• Stop paying terrorists to kill Israelis.
• Allow freedom of speech in PA-controlled areas.
• Abandon the “right of return” for millions of Palestinians.
• Abandon the PA demand for their own military.
• Accept Israeli responsibility for the national security of both states.
• Abandon the PA claims to the Jordan River Valley.
• Accept Jewish sovereignty over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Seven, among other things, the PA will receive:

• A Palestinian state.
• Their own government with limited sovereignty.
• A capital near the new U.S. embassy in a protected suburb of East Jerusalem called Abu Dis.
• Approximately twice as much of the Promised Land as they now occupy.
• A $50 billion financial aid package to create one million good jobs in 10 years (upgrade their electric, water and waste treatment facilities; build new hospitals, health clinics, schools, tourist sites, etc.).
• Corridors (tunnels, bridges, etc.) to connect PA areas in the Promised Land.

Eight, Israel must halt new settlement construction for four years, but Israel is free to start annexing existing settlements in Judea and Samaria as soon as Israel accepts the proposal. (The tender nation of Israel can put forth leaves immediately.)

Nine, the PA must negotiate a deal within four years or this offer will be withdrawn and it could be the last chance for the PA to have a Palestinian state. (Some Jews and Christians think the PA refusal to negotiate is a good thing. No agreement means no division of the Promised Land under the “Deal of the Century.”)

Ten, the U.S. and Israel will sign an agreement that says a military attack on Israel will be considered to be a military attack on the U.S. (This goes to the heart of peace and safety issue.)

Eleven, Jordan will retain responsibility for the Temple Mount, but the U.S. is asking Jordan to open all Holy Sites to all faiths. (Jordan fears that this will open the door for a rebuilt Temple, and some Christian prophecy teachers believe a rebuilt Temple will be allowed by the covenant that the Antichrist will confirm.)

Twelve, some Israelis and Christians are responding negatively to this proposal because God warned the world not to divide the land of Israel, but others say God gave Israel the Golan Heights, then East Jerusalem, now the Jordan River Valley, most of Judea and Samaria, etc. (They are rejoicing and praising God because they believe He is returning the land to the Jews in parcels—this parcel is the Biblical heartland of Israel—and God will eventually give Israel all of the land that He promised. If He wants to do it in steps, so be it. It is fulfilling Bible prophecy.)

Thirteen, Prime Min. Netanyahu and his opponent in the upcoming Mar. 2, 2020, Israeli election, Benny Gantz, are very positive about Pres. Trump’s proposal, and both are anxious to start implementing it. (Israel must officially accept it first.)

Fourteen, the PA, Turkey, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah quickly rejected the plan. (These are nations and groups that will go to war with Israel in the latter years and latter days. We are seeing wars and rumors of wars, not peace and safety.)

The Ayatollah Khamenei said “Jerusalem must not remain in the hands of the Jews,” and he will “seek to unite other nations to confront the great conspiracy.”

Fifteen, ambassadors from 3 Arab nations attended the public release of the “Deal of the Century,” 4 Arab nations immediately welcomed Pres. Trump’s proposal and expressed support for all efforts to reach a deal that is fair to the Palestinians. (They have also urged the PA to return to the negotiating table.)

Sixteen, some Palestinians living in areas designated for transfer to a PA state are objecting to the transfer and expressed a desire to remain under Israeli control.

Seventeen, PA Chairman Abbas angrily requested an emergency meeting with the Arab League; there was division over the issue, but, as a whole, the group called Pres. Trump’s proposal unfair to the Palestinians, and they rejected it. (This could be a good thing if it delays the division of Israel.)

Joel Rosenberg wrote that sources in Arab countries tell him the Arabs are upset with Trump’s proposal, but they are also upset with Abbas and his rejection of every effort to settle the issue. (They want this to lead to an agreement.)

They may even seek a way to establish peace with Israel that does not include Mr. Abbas and the PA. (The angel Gabriel said the covenant will be with many, but he didn’t say the covenant will include the PA.)

In conclusion, the “Deal of the Century” may go nowhere, but it may trigger prophetic wars, quickly expand the borders of Israel, increase the security and prosperity of Israel, restart the peace negotiations and eventually lead to a covenant that will allow a rebuilt Temple.

One writer (Israel Kasnett, Jan. 29, 2020, JNS) said the “Deal of the Century” is:

• The first time in history that the U.S. put Israel’s concerns above Palestinian concerns (peace and safety of Israel).
• The first time the U.S. said the 1949 or 1967 lines are no longer valid and Israel does not have to return to those lines (expands the borders of Israel).
• The first time the U.S. presented a map (contradicts the covenant God made with Abraham, etc.).
• The first time the U.S. said the settlements are not illegal, they are not an obstacle to peace, and Israel does not have to evacuate any of them.
• The first time the U.S. said that Israel has a legal and historical right to Judea and Samaria. (There will be Jews in Judea when the Abomination of Desolation defiles the Holy Place.)
• The first time the U.S. said that Israel can declare sovereignty over the settlements.
• The first time the U.S. said Israel can declare sovereignty over the Jordan Valley.

The “Deal of the Century” is unlike any previous proposal.

It does not give Israel everything God requires, but it is falling in line with what the Bible says will happen; and if it is not a major step toward the fulfillment of God’s Word, I am badly fooled.

All praise, glory and honor to God the Father, and to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit.

They are amazing and their Word is amazing.

Here are nine reasons why I believe we are living in the days of prophetic fulfillment.

One, shortly after the U.S., Mexico and Canada reached an agreement on the USMCA (on Nov. 30, 2018), Mexico’s Pres. Enrique Pena Nieto tweeted that the agreement would consolidate the economic integration of North America.

It was reported that he said, “The USMCA is not a step back towards American independence and sovereignty; it’s a step closer toward greater integration.”

Pres. Trump has scheduled a signing ceremony for the USMCA on Jan. 29, 2020, and Canada is expected to approve it on that same date.

Just know that this economic agreement will be restructured into a political agreement at some unknown future date, and its leader will be one of the 10 kings.

Their rise precedes the rise of the Antichrist, but that could happen very fast.

Two, on Jan. 23, 2020, scientists moved the hands on the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds before midnight (the closest they have been since the clock started in 1947).

The group cited Iran, Climate Change and Cyber Security as the reasons.

Iran, natural disasters and the surveillance society are major prophecies.

Three, a group of world leaders called the World Economic Forum meets every year in Davos, Switzerland.

On Jan. 23, 2020, during a private dinner, a multi-billionaire named George Soros warned the group that the fate of the world rests upon the 2020 U.S. elections.

His desire to “Dump Trump” is an important part of the globalist agenda.

It is easy to believe that the next election will be extremely important.

Four, for several years, some prophecy teachers have taught that the Antichrist and the False Prophet will establish a cashless society.

In the third week of January, it was reported that New York city has joined San Francisco, Philadelphia and the states of New Jersey and Massachusetts in requiring stores to accept cash as well as credit and debit cards.

One New York politician said customers should have the power to choose their preferred method of payment.

The fact that a law is needed to require businesses to accept cash is proof that a cashless society is not a far-fetched idea and it could easily come into existence.

Five, during the Tribulation Period, the rider on the pale horse will kill one-fourth of the people on earth with the sword (war), famine, death (pestilence or plague) and wild animals (Rev. 6:7-8; Matt. 24:7).

It is too early to tell, but there has been an outbreak of an incurable coronavirus in China that has led to reports of more than 50 million people being quarantined, and it has already spread to several other nations.

Some health officials say the risk of a pandemic is low at this time, but others say it is already too late to stop it.

There is no way to predict what this plague will do, but it is a reminder that God can fulfill His Word anytime He wants.

Six, the Rapture will be before the Tribulation Period.

The Tribulation Period will begin when the Antichrist confirms a covenant with many for peace and safety in the Middle East.

Pres. Trump released his peace proposal on Jan. 28, 2020.

As written, it is not the covenant that the Antichrist will confirm because it calls for negotiations, but the fact that it calls for negotiations leaves open the possibility that the proposal will be changed, and it could lead to the covenant.

Something that could be very significant is the fact that U.S. and Israeli officials continue to emphasize that one of the main aspects of Pres. Trump’s proposal is that it takes Israel’s peace and security (peace and safety) into account.

It calls for a four-year freeze on Israeli construction of settlements, but that could possibly be extended (seven years might make it very interesting).

It has already been rejected by the PA, and it is likely that they and others (Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) will oppose it with riots, terrorist attacks and war.

But it is important to remember that Jared Kushner released the economic part of Mr. Trump’s proposal several months ago, and it promised 50 billion dollars in aid to the Palestinians to build roads, utilities, hospitals, schools, etc.

In addition to that, some Arab leaders have changed their position on the destruction of Israel because they want Israel’s help with Iran’s terrorism and quest for nuclear weapons.

Also, some of the Arabs are tired of contributing to the upkeep of the Palestinians, and they want the PA, who has rejected every offer, to start negotiating and stop depending on charity and foreign aid for their upkeep.

Furthermore, Pres. Trump warned the PA that they must accept this deal during Israel’s four-year freeze on settlements or this could be the last chance they will have for a Palestinian State.

Simply put, this is a historic moment, and Trump has started a whole new ballgame that could trigger several major wars and the judgment of God.

The question is not will those prophesied events happen (they will), but the question is how close are we?

Seven, Pres. Trump created a map to show the borders of the two states.

Pres. Trump’s borders are one thing; God’s borders are another, and His borders will prevail.

It is impossible to know what God will do, but it seems clear that the U.S. can’t support a division of the Promised Land and get away with it.

It is also significant that Jordan would retain its responsibilities over the al-Aqsa Mosque because, at some point, Israel will rebuild the Temple.

Much prayer and repentance are needed.

Eight, torrential rain is still falling in Israel; and residents of the Jordan Valley, Judean Desert and Dead Sea area have been put on high alert for flooding.

Who has ever heard of a flood alert in a desert?

Nine, it has been estimated that wildfires have burned 46 million acres in Australia.

In the third week of Jan. 2020, hail the size of golf balls fell in Australia.

Hail mixed with fire was one of the 10 plagues in Egypt in Moses’ day.

Also, a 186-mile-wide dust storm driven by gusts up to 66 mph turned daylight into darkness.

Three days of darkness was another one of the 10 plagues in Egypt in Moses’ day.

Also, about this same time, a swarm of locusts 37 miles long and 25 miles wide struck Kenya.

This was another one of the 10 plagues in Egypt in Moses’ day.

God may be telling us His Prophetic Word is true and reminding us that there are more prophetic fulfillments to come.
