The Peace Deal That Could Reshape the World: Prophecy, Power, and the Coming Middle East Crisis
Dave Robbins: On today’s “Endtime Show,” I want to unpack
President Trump’s Middle East peace efforts.
From 2017 to the dramatic Doha strike and a stunning
US-brokered Gaza ceasefire.
Can this fragile deal reshape the region and lead to the
prophesied agreement or result in World War III?

Dave: Good afternoon everybody, I’m Dave Robbins with Endtime
Ministries, and I want to thank you for joining me on this
edition of “The Endtime Show.”
You know, everybody’s eyes, the world’s eyes are on the Middle
East right now.
But have you ever asked the question, why is there such
intense focus on the Israeli-Palestinian
peace efforts?
The answer lies not in politics or headlines alone, but in the
very heartbeat of biblical prophecy, a timeline set by
God himself.
Believe it or not, God operates on a divine time clock.
He will not–think about this.
God will not do certain things until it’s time, and God’s time
clock is ticking right now, and we’re watching things being
fulfilled on that.
So, while most prophecies in Scripture, they don’t come with
a specific date, there is one monumental prophecy that does,
and that’s the confirmation of the covenant mentioned in
Daniel 9:27.
This pivotal event is going to mark the beginning of the
seven-year countdown leading to the Battle of Armageddon and the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
And this isn’t just another prophecy, everyone.
It is the key to understanding God’s schedule for these
end times.
And without grasping its significance, we really risk
missing the–this one specific sign of the times that most of
us are–that we’re living in right now.
And so, today I want to unpack why the peace efforts in the
Middle East are more than just diplomatic negotiations.
They are a prophetic signal and have been for decades pointing
to the fulfillment of God’s Word.
We’ll explore how this covenant foretold in Daniel 9:27 sets the
stage for the final seven years of human history as we know it,
because after that, we will enter into the kingdom of God,
God’s rule on the earth.
So, from the rise of global tensions to the spiritual battle
unfolding before our very eyes, I want to connect the dots to
show you how these events align with God’s ultimate plan, and
that is a peace agreement that starts the final seven years.
Now, it’s not a God-inspired peace agreement.
There’s a difference in this.
You say, “Well, what are you really talking about?”
Okay, so God is eternal.
I’m gonna stretch your mind here a little bit.
God was never created and there is no end to God.
He’s all the way behind us and he’s all the way ahead of us,
for as far as–he never ends.
He’s eternal.
God exists in eternity.
However, there is a 7,000 years of human existence on this globe
that God created, and during this 7,000 years of human
existence, Almighty God has already seen all of that play
out from the beginning to the end.
Now, he didn’t begin and end, but we did, everything, this
7,000 years here.
So, during the 7,000 years, Almighty God has watched it all
played out.
And then he went to the writers of the Bible and he says, “Okay,
Daniel, this is gonna happen.”
And then Ezekiel and Zechariah and the apostle Paul and the
apostle Peter and John, and he laid this big old long timeline
of prophetic events out before us.
And again, God doesn’t go back and move things around.
He’s watched it all played out, and that’s the plan of God.
That’s what’s gonna happen.
Now, God did not–God’s seen a peace agreement that would be
created in the future that starts the final seven years,
but God did not say, “Well, I want a peace agreement between
the Israelis and the Palestinians, putting the Temple
Mount under a sharing arrangement and this that and
the other, and the sacrifices started,” because it’s not God’s
will that the sacrifices start, because God wants everybody to
be born again according to the New Testament plan of salvation,
which has nothing to do with animals being sacrificed.
And yet a lot of people try to wrap their mind around the Third
Temple being built is the will of God.
It’s in the plan of God because he’s already seen all this to
play out and it’s in his Word and it’s going to happen, so
from that perspective, yes.
But from the perspective of God needs another temple so that
people can be saved, no, that’s simply not the case.
However, because the building of the temple is in God’s Word,
because it was on God’s timeline throughout this 7,000 years of
human existence, then it is going to happen.
I don’t, you know, regardless of what else happens, there’s gonna
be a Third Temple.
All of these prophecies will come to pass, just like the
Bible says they will.
But Almighty God just–he watched all this stuff play out,
and then he went back and told the writers of the Bible, “This
is what’s going to happen.”
So, now, here we are, the Bi– in the Old Testament, Daniel
prophesied about a peace agreement that we are getting
ready to see come to pass, 2,500 years ago.
Think about that.
So, do we focus on the Middle East and the peace agreement?
Absolutely, the prophesied Israeli-Palestinian
peace agreement.
So, the prophesied agreement that’s gonna mark the beginning
of the final seven years leading to the Second Coming, the Battle
of Armageddon, that most certainly will involve Israel
and the Palestinians.
When we talk about the Abraham Accords and different things
with between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, that’s not
the peace agreement.
Or with, you know, Bahrain or Israel, that’s not the
peace agreement.
And so, we know the people that it will involve, we know the
region that it will involve, the West Bank.
So, when you have one with Gaza and Israel, it’s not the one.
When you have between Hamas, when you have one with,
you know, Saudi Arabia and Israel in the future, let’s say
Saudi Arabia comes into the Abraham Accords, that’s not
the agreement.
It has to involve Israel and the Palestinians and the biblical
Judea Samaria, which is the modern day West Bank.
And this is why we devote so much of our attention to the
peace efforts in that region.
Yes, I do watch the Abraham Accords, and I do watch maybe
peace between Israel and Egypt, Israel and Jordan, maybe
a future Israel-Lebanon, or an Israeli-Syrian peace
agreement, potentially.
But I really, really am hyperfocused on Israel and the
Palestinians right there in the West Bank region.
And so, that’s what I want to unpack for you today, what
President Trump has done from the beginning of his tenure in
his first term until right now and what led up to that.
Dave: Many people argue America is not mentioned in the
prophecies of the Bible.
But they will miss so much about the coming events that will
happen in the End Time if they don’t get that understanding.
What do these beasts symbolize?
That’s what we need to answer, because if we can’t understand
what these beasts symbolize, there’s no point in even
studying this, right?
If you don’t believe that America is mentioned in the
Bible, you’re gonna be stuck when it comes to figuring out
all these prophecies.
But once you understand this, America has a prophesied future.
It’s given to us in the Bible, and the America will not be part
of the world government, but we’re gonna be protecting Israel
against the world government all the way to the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ.

Dave: For 75 years, many of you have followed this, global
efforts to mediate peace between these long-standing adversaries,
Israel and the Palestinians, have faltered.
From the Camp David Accords back in 1978, the Madrid Conference
in ’91, the Oslo Accords in, what was that?
’93 to ’95, the Camp David Accords in 2000, or I should say
maybe it was the Camp David Summit.
The Taba Talks in 2001, the Roadmap for Peace, George W.
Bush, 2003, then the Annapolis conference, 2007, and then the
Kerry Peace Talks, 2013 to 2014, and various UN resolutions.
I mean, each of these initiatives was touted as this
groundbreaking set of negotiations and peace
initiatives, and yet all of them ultimately failed.
The issue wasn’t a lack of diplomatic finesse, but an
overemphasis on political solutions while many in the
region rejected Israel’s right to exist.
Well, then enter Donald Trump.
Not a traditional diplomat, by no means, or a State Department
veteran, President Trump approached the conflict like a
business deal, to understand the stakeholders, to identify their
true desires, and offer some achievable outcomes.
President Trump recognized that most regional players prioritize
stability and economic growth and building modern cities,
seeking trade, unlike these extremist groups like Hamas,
which just want to destroy stuff, right?
So, Trump discarded conventional approaches.
He declared Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocated
the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, and defying warnings
of, well, there’s gonna be a regional chaos and conflict and
you’re gonna start a war.
And that never materialized.
Trump, President Trump just said, “I’m gonna do it,” and he
did it, and nobody did anything.
And he also exited the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA.
And he firmly aligned the US with the region’s only
democracy, and of course, that was Israel.
Critics claimed that he favored Israel excessively, but the
results suggest otherwise.
President Trump has went in there with a regional mindset,
and it has benefited Israel.
Well, his policies have really reshaped the Middle East.
That with–so with the Abraham Accords marking a historic shift
in regional alliances, the first in decades, and this is one of
the things that I wonder, I’m speculating here, but I wonder
may lead to World War III.
So, can you imagine Iran, when the–well, Iran, China, Russia,
when they see how if the Abraham Accords takes off in the near
future that they will be pushed out of the Middle East region
and/or block off their entry to, their footprint in the Middle
East, imagine that, that they may not want to see that happen,
and that could lead to World War III.
Now, there are many other things that could lead to the World War
III that’s coming, that’s prophesied.
But I wonder if a–the enhancement of the Abraham
Accords could lead to that type of situation, because you’ve got
to look at the mindset still of Hamas.
And by the way, they’re not abiding by their part of the
peace agreement as well, right?
So, there’s still a mess going on there in Gaza.
The Gaza situation has not settled yet.
And President Trump said, “Hey, you guys don’t abide by the
deal, and we may just come back there and and unarm you guys
violently, potentially.”
And so, we’ll see what happens there, but still, with
everything that has happened, even with this peace deal,
Hamas, the Houthis down in Yemen, Hezbollah, the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, even Iran, it has not changed
their ideology.
That’s the battle, right there between the ears.
It’s what these people believe.
It’s not necessarily where they’re located, but it’s what
they believe, Israel should not have a place in the Middle East
at all.
They should be wiped off the face of the planet.
The United States should be wiped off the face of
the planet.
That mentality is still functioning and swirling around
in the heads of all of these of Iran and her terrorist proxies.
So, of course, driven by shared concerns about Iran and mutual
interest and survival, not the ideology, but these agreements,
the Abraham Accords and different things, they changed
the landscape of everything.
You know, when tensions like the Qatar incident, when they risked
derailing progress, President Trump intervened.
He’s looking at the whole thing instead of just letting it
play out.
He’s not doing that.
And, of course, he’s securing, and he went to Netanyahu and he
secured an Israeli apology to preserve the broader deal.
When that–when Israel bombed Doha, the capital of Qatar,
saying, “Well, we’re going after Hamas leaders,” President Trump
got Netanyahu to apologize for that.
Think about that.
What’s he doing?
He’s being a businessman and he’s working deals.
And so he said, “Look, we gotta squash that.
We gotta–you gotta apologize for that.”
And from what I read, Prime Minister Netanyahu read a script
of an apology to Qatar.
And of course, President Trump, man, it was a sign of pragmatic
influence, wasn’t it?
Not blind allegiance.
And so, the deal was clear.
Arab states would manage groups like Hamas and ensure stability
while Israel prioritized its security, and Trump pushed
Netanyahu to seize the opportunity and breaking from
the, you know, repetitive diplomatic cycles by realigning
incentives to encourage new choices.
You guys have a choice at peace here.
You don’t always just have to go in and hammer down.
So, honestly, I know I’ll get some blowback for this, but love
him or hate him, President Trump’s disruption has set the
region on a new course, at least from what I can see.
Now, that course could be World War III.
Of course he said the other day, “oh, World War III is never
gonna happen in the Middle East now.
A lot of people say that that’s not gonna happen.”
Well, he’s wrong on that.
The Bible says the Euphrates River is where the World War III
will originate.
But we’ll have to see what is the event that kicks that off.
The Bible doesn’t tell us that.
Now, I’m watching several events that could kick that off, but
we’ll have to see in the near future how that plays out, but
I know there’s gonna be a war and I know there’s gonna be
a peace agreement, and those are the things I watch for.
And so, for the first time in decades, a practical plan
prioritizes stability and prosperity over another round of
doomed talks, and that’s what I wanted to kind of lay out to you
today, because what I wanna do is to provide–again, this–on
God’s prophetic timeline, the 7,000 years of human existence,
this peace agreement and World War III are the next two things
to be fulfilled.
It’s a 2,500-year-old prophecy, and it’s getting ready to
happen, I believe most certainly in my lifetime, so I want to
provide a kind of a comprehensive timeline of
President Donald Trump’s efforts on peace initiatives in the
Middle East, starting from the very beginning of his first term
back in 2017, and we’ll walk through the key events step by
step, explaining what happened, why it mattered, and how it all
built toward the recent developments in Gaza.
Do you understand the whole story over the last 68 years?
Well, I wanna–I’m gonna go through a timeline here today.
Man, this is a story of diplomacy, bold moves,
certainly, and ongoing challenges in one of the world’s
most complex regions.
And I wanna kind of be a guide here for you, and I wanna break
it down so clearly so you can follow along, and kind of like
a road map through history.
And I wanna start back at the beginning.
Because–so it all kicks off January 20, 2017, when Donald
Trump is inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States.
So, from day one, President Trump’s administration signals
a shift in US policy, US foreign policy toward the Middle East.
Unlike previous presidents–now remember, all of the peace
initiatives that I listed earlier, they–every single one
of them failed.
I mean failed.
Well, President Trump comes in, and unlike previous presidents
and peace negotiators who often prioritize multilateral talks,
President Trump emphasizes direct deals and leveraging US
influence to broker agreements between individual nations.
And so, early on in February of 2017, President Trump hosts–he
hosted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White
House, and they discussed strengthening the
US-Israeli alliance.
So, President Trump wants to make sure right there at the
very beginning, “Netanyahu, I’m on your side.
Now, I’m gonna be talking to a lot of other people, but I’m
strengthening our alliance here.
You and I are on the same page.
We’re aligned and we are allies.”
He wants to make sure that Prime Minister Netanyahu knows that.
And of course, but he’s saying, “Look, I’m gonna explore some
paths to peace with the Palestinians,” and he wants to
make sure Netanyahu’s on board with that.
Well, Trump famously says that he’s open to whatever the
solution works, and whether one state, two states, as long as
both sides agree.
And this sets a kind of like a pragmatic tone, doesn’t it?
I mean, focusing on economic incentives over traditional
territorial negotiations.
So, it’s really–he’s starting out with a different mindset
here, okay?
And as we move along, you’re really going to see the
different mindset from previous negotiations.
That’s what’s got him to where we’re at now.
If we move back, if you remember some of this, we moved back into
May of 2017, and Trump makes his first overseas trip as president
to Saudi Arabia.
He didn’t go to Israel first.
He went to Saudi Arabia first.
He’s setting the–setting kind of a tone here, setting a
precedent, setting, “Hey, hey, you know, I’m gonna be
negotiating with all kinds of people rather than just the
Israelis and the Palestinians,” which is what previous
administrations and people have done.
Didn’t work though, none of them did.
So, Trump is saying, “I got to do something different here.”
So his first trip overseas was Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the
Palestinian territories.
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he addresses leaders from over 50
Muslim majority countries, and he called for unity against
terrorism and extremism, but he doesn’t directly outline a peace
plan yet.
What, what, so he’s a dealmaker, right?
And a dealmaker is not gonna throw all their cards on the
table at one time.
But what he does, he plants seeds for future alliances by
highlighting shared interest in countering Iran.
So he’s saying, look, “We can help you with Iran, but you
gotta give us this.”
And everybody’s starting to pay attention, because he’s not come
in and trying to drag Israel and the Palestinians to a peace
negotiating table and get them to do something, but they had
veto power because they get up and just walk away.
President Trump’s not doing that.
And then in Jerusalem he visits the Western Wall, a very
symbolic gesture.
He meets with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas in Bethlehem, which is just outside Jerusalem, about
4 or 5 miles away in the–out in what’s considered the West Bank.
And he urged both sides to just resume talks, just start
talking, communication.
And these visits really laid the groundwork for what would become
a hallmark of President Trump’s approach, building coalitions
among Arab states to pressure for broader regional stability.
He knew, “All the other peace agreements ahead of me failed,
and so I can’t come at it like that.”
In other words, it’s like a businessman looking at everybody
else that’s tried to strike a certain deal, and it didn’t
work, because all of them tried pretty much the same thing.
And he said, “That’s not gonna work, so I want to get this deal
done, so I’m gonna try a different deal.
I’m gonna come at it–I want the same goal, but I’m gonna
come at it from a different direction.”
And so, then we fast forward to, of course, 2018.
It was a year of bold and, you know, controversial decisions.
On May 8 of–back on 2018, President Trump announced the
withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA, and he argued
that it didn’t go far enough, which–far–I should say far
enough to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions or its support for
proxy groups, like Hezbollah and Hamas.
And he knew that it would have– the JCPOA had a sunset clause in
it, which would–which means it would have ran out, and it would
have allowed Iran to get a nuclear bomb, and nobody’s gonna
say anything about it.
So he was like, “That’s not gonna work.
I’m pulling out, and we’re gonna hammer them with
economic sanctions.”
And that’s exactly what he did.
And that move isolated Iran economically through those
reimposed sanctions, which Trump later uses as a leverage in
peace talks.
So, he’s looking at it from all angles here, right?
He said, “Hey, I pulled out of the JCPOA, we’re hammering them
with sanctions,” and so he’s using this as leverage in these
peace talks.
And he’s gotten way farther down the pike than anybody else,
believe me.
And of course, you know that, the Abraham Accords and this
deal within Gaza, all–stopping all these other wars.
He just uses leverage, and this here, because he’s a dealmaker.
And again, everybody’s gonna say I’m a Trumper, but the fact is,
give me somebody else who’s done all this that I need to talk
about today on the radio.
Nobody.
And critics say that it heightened tensions, but
supporters argued that it aligned US policy to favor
allies like Israel and the Sunni Arab states.
And just days later, it was May 14 of 2018, the 70th anniversary
of Israel’s founding, the United States officially moved its
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
And so, he’s working with the Arabs on one hand, but then he
moves our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
So he’s saying, “Look, I’m working all angles here.”
And he’s trying to help them.
Now, he is an ally of Israel, big time.
But the thing is, he knows that if he’s trying to get this deal
done, he can’t just put a nose ring in Israel, a nose ring in
the Palestinians, say you guys are coming to a peace table, and
you’re gonna talk this thing out, and you’re not gonna leave
until you get it done.
That’s when the thing fails, and Trump knew that.
And so, he’s–he does move our embassy to Jerusalem, but yet
he’s still working with the Arabs.
And of course, this move of our embassy, that fulfilled
a longstanding promise, and it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s
capital as well.
And though Trump notes that, you know, it doesn’t prejudge the
final borders or anything like that, the decision sparked
protests in Gaza and the West Bank, but it was seen as a win
for pro-Israel advocates, and it helped to build trust with the
Netanyahu government.
What’s he trying to do?
He’s trying to strike and get across the finish line the deal
of all deals, and that is the Israeli-Palestinians,
a two-state solution or any kind of agreement, he says, that
would finally get peace in the Middle East.
