a coincidence, you understand.
From Irvin Baxter’s original calling, through decades of
faithful preparation to the strategic placement of Bible

Dave: So let me just recap here.
When the final seven years starts, Endtime Ministries is
going to mail a–an “Endtime Magazine” to every home
in Israel.
And explaining that we have just started the final seven years,
and we–we’re gonna explain the prophecy of Jesus in Matthew
chapter 24.
Three years in, we’ll tell the Jews to flee and to escape the
coming persecution of another Jewish Holocaust.
And what–so here’s my–here’s the question I want to pose
to you.
I–I’m sure many of you would know the answer if you followed
us for a while.
What starts the final seven years?
I’ve heard all kinds of different opinions on that over
the years.
And I’ve had people say–I’ve heard people say, “Well, it was
the–you know, the pope’s “Laudato Si” seven-year plan
that was put out by the Catholic Church,” that that started the
final seven years, or that–what, man, what did I hear
the other day?
It was something that just–I was like kind of shocked.
I can’t remember what it was, but a lot of different things
that would say–oh, Clarence Larkin, he said something would
start the final seven years.
I can’t remember what it was.
I actually talked about it, but now I can’t remember.
But no, he said the–that the first seal starts the final–the
final seven years, which is simply not the case.
So what are we looking for?
What starts the final seven years?
How will Endtime Ministries know to send the magazine to every
home in Israel?
It’s going to be an Israeli-Palestinian
peace agreement.
How do I know that?
And, you know, and the thing is, I know that it appears to be
insolvable, right?
Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, nobody’s been able to
solve that.
But it is prophesied, and the prophecies always come to pass.
So let me explain that.
It–this is a–the very important prophecy of the coming
peace agreement is given in Daniel 9, verses 24 through 27.
So all of you guys that are out there taking notes, get your
notepad out because I want to make sure you guys get this.
In Daniel 9:24-27, it says this, “Seventy weeks are determined
upon thy people and upon the holy city.”
Now, when it–when it says, “Seventy weeks are determined
upon thy people,” some people have said, “Well, that means
that Daniel’s 70th week is only pertaining to the Jews and the
church is gone.”
Okay, all this 70 weeks is talking about is historical
events that will happen to the Jewish people.
It does not mean that during the final 70 weeks, the church is
gone and only Jews can be saved in that time or whatever.
It simply does not mean that, okay?
So let’s get the–let’s get our story straight here.
“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of
sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring into–in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and
prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.”
It says–this would be Daniel 9:25.
It says, “Know therefore and understand, that from the going
forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto
the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and
two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks shall the Messiah be cut
off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that
shall come shall destroy the city of the–and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, unto the end of
the war desolations are determined.”
And then here’s Daniel 9, verse 27, “And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week.”
It’s gonna be a seven-year period.
“And in the midst of the week shall he 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.”
Wow, did you get all that?
Okay, so let me help you understand it here.
This is a famous prophecy, and it’s often referred to as
Daniel’s 70 weeks or Daniel’s 70th week.
It could be more accurately described as seven weeks of
years or a 490-year period.
The New International version says, “Seventy ‘sevens’ are
decreed for your people.”
The New Century vision says, “God has ordained four hundred
ninety years for your people.”
So this prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 foretold the events of
Jewish history that would occur over a 490-year period.
And this will–this will become clearer as we delve into this
prophecy here.
There’s one other thing that we–we’ve got to notice in order
to understand Daniel’s 70 weeks.
The prophecy is given in three segments, 70 weeks, I’m sorry,
seven weeks of years or a 49 years.
Remember, these weeks are seven years.
So, 49 years is the first segment, 62 weeks of years or
a 434-year segment, and then one week or a final seven-year
period, which is ahead of us now.
The prophecy is given this way because there are gaps between
the 49 years, the 440–34 years, and the final seven years.
Well, in verse 25, it tells us that when the 490 years–that’s
when they’re going to begin.
It says that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah would be seven weeks
of years or 49 years, and then a 62-week of year period or
434 years.
So, in other words, from the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem
to the coming of the Messiah would be 483 years plus the
length of the gap between the 49 years and the 434 years.
Now, I know this is a lot to take in, but just–you can go
back and watch the program again and just–you’ll see what I’m
saying is true here, because I’m going to prove all this stuff.
The First Temple and the city of Jerusalem were destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar all the way back in–and the Babylonians in
586 BC.
The order allowing the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem was given by
the Persian king Cyrus in 538 BC.
And that’s when this prophecy begins, from the going forth of
the commandment to go build Jerusalem.
Verse 25 clearly states that the coming of the Messiah would mark
the end of the first 483-year period.
So notice, after the 483 years, two things were prophesied to
happen in the Scripture here.
Messiah was gonna be cut off, and Jerusalem was going to
be destroyed.
That’s verse 26.
And so Jesus, obviously, the Messiah came and was crucified,
which would be certainly qualify for being cut off, right?
That was around 30 AD.
Nobody knows for sure.
And Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
And yet the final seven years of the prophecy contains–in verse
27, that hasn’t even begun yet.
So it’s very easy to see that there are obviously a gap
between the 483 years when the Messiah would be cut off and the
final seven years, because that hasn’t even begun yet.
We’re looking at what, close to a 2000-year gap here.
So this gap is because the Jews as a whole rejected Jesus as
their Messiah.
And of course, they went into an 1,878-year exile.
So consequently, God turned to the Gentiles to take a bride for
his name’s sake.
And this began what Scripture calls the times of the Gentiles.
The apostle Paul described it this way in Romans 11:25.
He said, “For I would not, brethren, that you should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part has happened to Israel, until
the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.”
So from our present perspective, we know that this gap to be, you
know, around 2000 years or so.
And the gap’s going to continue–here it is–this
begins the final seven years of Daniel’s 70th week.
The gap is going to continue until the signing of the coming
Palestinian-Israeli peace agreement.
That’s the event that starts the final seven years.
The final seven years of that 490 years is described in
Daniel 9:27.
And that contains the prophecy of the Middle East Peace
Agreement that will mark the beginning of the final
seven years.
So let–let’s look at it once again here, Daniel 9:27, very,
very critical Scripture.
“And he,” which will be the AntiChrist, I’ll prove that in
a minute, “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week,” a seven-year period.
“And in the midst of the week,” the seven years, “he shall cause
the sacrifice, the oblation to cease, for the overspreading of
abominations he makes it desolate.”
It’s the abomination of desolations, “even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured out
upon the desolate.”
Now, I’m telling you this because I told you in the
beginning of the program that when the final seven years
starts, that’s when Endtime will mail the magazine to every home
in Israel.
So how are we gonna know when to mail that?
When this peace agreement that I’m fixing to describe to you,
when that occurs, with the five biblical characteristics.
So there are–from Daniel 9:27, very key Scripture, there are
several things that we must understand from this
important verse.
Number one, who is the he in Daniel 9:27?
Number 2, what is the covenant?
Number 3, what are the sacrifices that will be stopped?
And Number 4, what is the abomination of desolation?
So we’re gonna answer these four questions one at a time.
Number 1, who’s the he?
Well, the he does three things.
He confirms the covenant.
And of course, the AntiChrist confirms the covenant in Daniel
11:21-45, describes the actions of the AntiChrist, and in verse
21 and 22, he is called the prince of the covenant.
Number 2, the he there causes the sacrifices and the oblation
to cease.
Of course, the AntiChrist stops the sacrifices, Daniel 11:31.
Number 3, he places the abomination of desolation.
The AntiChrist places the abomination of desolation in
Daniel 11:31 as well.
So there’s three proofs.
Since the AntiChrist does all three of these things, he
will–we have absolute proof that the he in Daniel 9:27 is
the AntiChrist.
It’s not the false prophet, it wasn’t Jesus, it’s the
AntiChrist, folks.
So, number 2, what’s the covenant?
Genesis 15:18 describes the covenant that God made
with Abraham.
He said in this–this would be Genesis 15:18, it says, “In the
same day that the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying,
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt
all the way up to the great river, the river Euphrates.”
Well, at this–at the time of that divine promise, Abraham was
standing in the land of Israel.
And the Abrahamic covenant was God’s promise to Abraham that
the Promised Land would belong to him and his
descendants forever.
It’s an everlasting covenant.

Dave will be in a location near you.
Dave: Number 3, what is the confirmation of that covenant?
Well, when the Middle East Peace Agreement is signed, the
Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, it’s gonna be
a two-state solution.
The AntiChrist and the international community will
confirm Israel’s right to exist in their holy land.
And of course, presently Israel’s enemies deny that she
has a right to be there or to have a homeland in the land that
God promised Abraham.
But when the confirmation of the covenant takes place at the time
of the signing of the Palestinian-Israeli peace
agreement, then that’s when the final seven years to Armageddon
and the Second Coming will begin, folks.
And that’s when we will send that magazine to every home in
Israel because three years after that is when Joel Golden, who’s
the protector of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Endtime
Ministries–that’s when Joel is going to warn them to flee.
We’re not gonna wait till the persecution starts.
I mean, would you not have warned the people prior
to October 7?
If you knew it was coming from the prophecies of
the Bible, would you not have warned those people to flee and
get out?
Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
Imagine all the people that could have been saved if when
Hamas invaded there were no Jews in that region.
Think about that.
And so God is going to help us to warn the Jews in
Judea, Samaria.
God’s working all of this out in great detail.
We’re absolutely living through a prophecy, the prophecy and
a miracle.
So what sacrifices are gonna be stopped?
I think most of you probably know that, but the Middle East
Peace Agreement is gonna allow for the Temple Mount to be
placed under a sharing arrangement between Muslims and
Jews, and that will allow Israel to build her Third Temple on the
Temple Mount.
When the temple’s completed, animal sacrifices are gonna be
offered just like they were in the Old Testament.
And these are the sacrifices that the AntiChrist is going to
stop at a certain point, probably at the urging of the
animal rights activists.
What is the abomination of desolation?
Remember, I’m describing to you who the he is and what does–and
what’s going on here with Daniel 9:27.
So, what’s the abomination of desolation?
Well, in Matthew 24:15, Jesus said, “When you see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet,” in Daniel 9:27, “stand down there on the holy place.”
He’s on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple Mount.
He said, “When you see that event happen…stand on there in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.)”
According to Jesus, the abomination of desolation will
occur in the holy place down there.
The holy place is in the temple, or at least on the Temple
Mount, right?
And so the apostle Paul gave a more detailed description of the
abomination in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 3 through 4.
He said, “Let no man deceive you by any means.”
That day, the coming of our Lord and a gathering together in him
would not come, “Except there comes a falling away first, and
the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth
and exalt.”
Now, he’s saying that the Second Coming of the Lord is not gonna
happen until the AntiChrist is revealed.
And the apostle Paul says, “Who opposeth and exalteth himself
above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as
God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
This is gonna be the abomination of desolation.
So the man of sin, the son of perdition, both refer to the end
time world leader, that’s the AntiChrist.
And Paul teaches that the AntiChrist will stand in the
temple exalting himself above all that is called God or that’s
worshiped, claiming to be God himself.
And when he commits that blasphemous act, that that’s
going to be the abomination of desolation.
So before we end here today, let me–let me just do this.
Let me summarize the peace agreement here because I wanna
make sure you get this because we’re gonna watch this happen in
the very near future.
You unders–this is why I say God is not establishing this
wonderful relationship with Joel and making me part of the IDF
and everything that’s happened with our missionaries and the
Jewish Agency and everything that’s going on here.
To say, okay, but yet this isn’t gonna happen for another
500 years.
You guys, you know better than that as well as I do.
We’re gonna watch this stuff wrap up, I believe, in my
opinion, I believe in my lifetime, surely.
I know people have said that for years and years and years and
years, “In my lifetime, I’ll see Jesus come.”
I absolutely believe that.
And I’m doing that, let’s say educated speculation, believe
me, because of what’s happening right now.
The way the–everything, all the pieces that are coming together
right now, all of the prophetic fulfillments happening right
before our very eyes.
They found a red heifer, the first ones since Israel–the
first ones are in Israel right now, since 70 AD folks.
Some would say, “Oh, that’s just a coincidence,” really?
They found–they found 21 of them here, over here in Texas,
kosher, approved by–I went out there when the rabbis from
the–from Israel were here, and they approved 21 of them as
totally red.
The Israeli government would only allow them to take five
over to Israel as pets, because of agricultural regulations and
things like that.
But I’m just saying–why am I talking about this right now?
Because we’re fixing to see this stuff come to pass.
There will come a time in the near future when we mail
a magazine to every single home in Israel.
Will we get some blowback?
Probably, I’m not worried about that.
God knows all this stuff.
God’s doing this.
We’re being led by the cloud, right?
Just like the children of Israel in the wilderness, they were led
by a cloud.
That’s exactly what we’re doing, we’re following the leading and
guiding of God’s Spirit.
And look at what God is doing, it is–it is awesome!
And–but so don’t–I–if you’re out there and you’re wondering,
does God do miracles in 2026?
Listen to me, I’ve just given you one on this–I’ve given you
a series of miracles on this program today.
And so let’s summarize the peace agreement here very quickly,
because this is what we’re looking for.
Daniel 9:27 prophesied the AntiChrist will confirm Israel’s
right to exist in the Promised Land.
This peace agreement will be a seven-year temporary–an interim
peace agreement.
And it’s gonna be a temporary because the status of Jerusalem
is going to be left unresolved.
There’s gonna be the creation of a Palestinian state in Judea.
Again, I know that looks unsolvable.
Nobody’s ever been able to do it, but it’s gonna happen in the
near future.
The Bible says the AntiChrist will be the one that confirms
that covenant.
He’s gonna be–he’s gonna be one of the most influential
politicians in a–there’s gonna be hundreds of them involved.
We’re not going to know who he is at this point, but he’s going
to be involved in it.
And this peace agreement will provide for a Palestinian state
in the modern day West Bank, Judea, Samaria.
And historically, biblically, that’s the region.
And the agreement will also allow Jews in Judea to remain as
a Jewish minority out there under Palestinian–the
Palestinian state.
It’s already–all of this has already been proposed in past
peace agreements.
And we know this from the prophecy Jesus gave in Matthew
24:15 through 18-21.
So, “When you therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet…(whoso readeth,
let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.
Let him which is on your housetop, don’t go back.
If you’re in the field, don’t go back to your house…For then,”
verse 21, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was
not since…this time, nor ever again shall be.”
In this passage, Jesus is painting a picture of the Jews
living under a hostile government in Judea.
When the abomination of desolation occurs halfway
through the seven-year agreement, the Jews living in
Judea, they’re gonna have to flee for their lives.
And this event will launch the final three and one-half years
called the Great Tribulation.
And so we’re gonna try to get as many Jews out of there
before that.
And amazingly, the scenario Jesus painted 2000 years ago is
exactly what is presently being discussed on all of these
ongoing peace negotiations that have happened over the last
40 years.
And also, the Temple Mount’s going to be shared outside of
control of Jerusalem.
I mean, the status of the Temple Mount is the most highly
disputed issue in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
And Muslims claim the Temple Mount is their third holiest
site after Mecca and Medina, and that’s located in Saudi Arabia,
and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Dome of the Rock that they
presently occupy the Temple Mount.
However, the Jews obviously regard the Temple Mount as their
number one holy site, as they should, and their First Temple
stood there on the Temple Mount from what, 968 BC to 586 BC,
when it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and
the Babylonians.
The Second Temple stood there from 516 BC to–all the way
through Jesus being here on the earth to 70 AD.
And so God promised King Solomon that he would place his name
there forever, after the First Temple was dedicated.
Consequently, the Jews insist their Third Temple must soon be
built there.
And so, how will this just seemingly intractable dispute
over these 35 acres, how’s that going to be solved under the
coming peace agreement?
And well, it’s already been proposed many times.
The Bible says the Temple Mount is going to be placed under a
sharing arrangement in that coming peace agreement.
The prophecy is found in Revelation 11:1-2.
John said, “And there was given unto me a reed like unto a rod:
and the angel stood and said, John, rise, measure the temple
of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave it out, and
measure it not; for it’s given unto the Gentiles: and the holy
city shall they tread underfoot forty and two months.”
So John was instructed to measure the temple and those
that worship therein, and then he was told to not measure the
outer court because it would be under Gentile control.
So the Scripture here, it paints a picture of the Temple Mount
being shared between Jew and Gentile.
And the scene in this prophecy describes the Temple Mount
during the final 42 months of that seven-year agreement.
So the Temple Mount–the temple can’t be built until the peace
agreement is signed, but it’s built before the first
three–before the final three and one-half years.
So the temple is gonna be built during the first three and
one-half years of that final seven years.
Now, so that means the Jewish temple is going to be rebuilt.
And this peace agreement, how are we going to know which peace
agreement is the one that starts the final seven years?
Well, all of these biblical characteristics are gonna be
in there.
And so in Revelation 11:1-2, again, the passage, John tells
us to measure the temple.
You can’t measure a temple if there’s no temple to
measure, right?
And he was told to do this when there would be 42 months left.
It’s the same time when the two witnesses come on the scene in
Revelation 11, and they prophe–power was given unto
them for 1260 days.
It’s the same exact time frame.
And this lets us know the Jewish temple has to be built and
completed during that first three and one-half years of the
final seven years.
2 Thessalonians chapter 2:4 confirms this because it says
the AntiChrist will sit in the temple of God at the time of the
abomination of desolation, which occurs halfway through the final
seven years, according to Daniel 9:27.
So when you tie all this stuff together, oh man, it just–it
just–it’s this perfectly painted giant picture of what’s
coming in the near future.
You can’t sit in a temple if there’s no temple to sit in.
And again, this proves the Jewish people will be–or the
Jewish temple will be completed during the first three and
one-half years of the final seven years.
And then, of course, animal sacrifices are gonna be resumed
and then stopped.
I mean, once the Jewish temple is completed, animal sacrifices
are gonna be resumed as they were practiced in the
Old Testament.
And we know this because in Daniel 9:27 it prophesied,
foretelling the final seven years.
And it states that the AntiChrist, in the middle of the
seven years, will cause the sacrifices to stop.
And you can’t stop sacrifices that are not ongoing, right?
So we know all this stuff’s coming in the future and
they–according to the Jews, Numbers 19, they need a red
heifer to resume sacrifices to–for the purification of the
people of Israel so they can go up there and start
sacrificing again.
So, but, but all this is just a coincidence, right?
I mean, it’s all just by happenstance.
And all these pieces falling into place and things like that,
this is just–you know, we’re not really in the end time.
I mean, we’re–you know, let’s not fool ourselves, this is all
just a big coincidence.
Are you kidding me?
This is not a coincidence, this is God’s hand on all of
this stuff.
He knew all this stuff was going to happen.
God knows the end from the beginning, so went back told the
writers of the Bible, “There is gonna be a third temple and they
are gonna resume sacrifices.
And the AntiChrist, this horrible global leader in the
future, is gonna claim to be God.
He’s gonna cause those sacrifices to cease, and
Israel’s gonna build a third temple.”
God’s already seen all this stuff play out, folks.
There’s not one-tenth of 1% chance that this won’t happen.
All of this is going to happen.
Just like all of the prophecies–all of the Messianic
prophecies that Jesus fulfilled, he fulfilled every
single prophecy.
And all of the prophecies that are supposed to have occurred up
to this point right here on God’s prophetic timeline, every
single one of them, without fail, every one has been
fulfilled in great detail.
Dave: One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at
Endtime Ministries is, why do you guys teach the Rapture
happens after the Great Tribulation?
Should we be passively waiting to be taken at any moment or
actively preparing for the greatest revival in history?
Paul states plainly it will not occur until after the man of
sin, the AntiChrist, is revealed, and that will not
happen until God declares it is time.
I will walk you through a timeline of the final
seven years.
The Rapture, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ is one continuous event.
It’s not an event separated by seven years.
