From Ring of Fire to Ring of Hope: Is the Prophesied Middle East Peace Finally Near?

Male announcer: Previously on
“The Endtime Show.”
Dave Robbins: But the Bible says
in Revelation chapter 11, verse
1 and 2: John, in the future,
you’re seeing a future
vision here.
Measure the temple, but don’t
measure the outer court.
It would be trodden down to the
Gentiles for 42 months.
So the Temple Mount’s going to
be placed under a sharing
arrangement that have
proposed this.
Many people have proposed
sharing the Temple Mount.
Let’s just share it.
Just like they are doing
down in Hebron.
I just, and it’s just, it’s
been, it’s happened over and
over, very prophetic.

Dave: So the question I’m asking
today, and we’re continuing on
with this, a second segment here
would be, will there be peace?
The search for peace.
Well, there absolutely
is going to be.
So let’s continue this
deep dive here.
When we look at–the next thing
we want to look at is postponing
the status of Jerusalem.
During a January 2013 debate,
Yossi Beilin again, he was a
peace negotiator years ago.
And he was one of the
negotiators for the Oslo
Peace Accords.
He remarked that Israeli
Palestinian, or I’m sorry,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, he was firmly opposed
to addressing the status of
Jerusalem in peace talks.
Again, this is 2013.
Beilin argued that meaningful
progress in negotiations would
only be possible if Jerusalem,
the Jerusalem issue was
deferred, kicked the can
down the road.
And he claimed to have
personally discussed with
Netanyahu, who according to
Beilin expressed willingness to
pursue an interim agreement.
Hear that?
A seven-year peace agreement.
Not a permanent agreement, but
the Bible says it’s going to be
a seven-year agreement.
The Bible says it will be an
interim agreement.
And this has already been
proposed with the Palestinians
that would postpone a resolution
on Jerusalem to a later date.
Now folks, you say, “Man, that’s
pretty detailed, that’s really
lines up with the Bible.”
It absolutely does, because God
has already seen these things
play out.
The Bible says God knows the end
from the beginning.
And 2000 years ago, 2500 years
ago when these prophecies are
given, Almighty God has already
seen how everything plays out in
intricate detail.
So everybody wonders, “Man, I
wonder how these prophecies are
going to pass in such
intricate detail.”
That’s because God’s already
seen them play out, and he went
back and laid it out for the for
the writers of the Bible, so we
would have something to go on.
It’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?
Well, according to the Bible,
this seems to be the events, the
course of events.
Zechariah chapter 14:2 foretells
that the armies of the
international community will
seize half of the city of
Jerusalem during the Battle
of Armageddon.
So if East Jerusalem was already
under Palestinian control
beforehand, the prophecy would
not describe it as being taken
from Israel at the Battle
of Armageddon.
So postponing the status of
Jerusalem, you’ll see that
happen in a peace agreement
in the very near future.
So where do things
stand right now?
Because there’s so much
has happened.
It’s like, okay, let’s go with,
over the last probably 20
months, think about that.
What’s happened in Israel?
Man, a complete turnaround.
I mean, Israel’s carried out a
series of decisive military
operations that have reshaped
the Middle East power dynamics
and opened the door to, I’m
gonna say, quote unquote
“lasting regional peace.”
There’s never going to be
total peace.
But in response to Hamas’s
October 7th, 2023 massacre, the
deadliest day in
Israel’s history.
I was there when it happened.
Israel launched Operation
Swords of Iron.
Well, of course that crippled
Hamas’s leadership in Gaza and
significantly degraded
Hezbollah’s capabilities
in Lebanon.
So they had this ring of fire.
Remember seven, a seven-front
ring of fire around Israel and
Israel after October 7th,
it’s like they just said,
“We’re done.”
And they just started taking
on everybody.
We’ve seen it happen over the
last, what, just less than two
years now.
The pivotal moment came with
Operation Rising Lions though, a
covert joint operation with the
United States that struck deep
into Iran, severely damaged,
they’re calling it the 12 Day
War, severely damaged its
nuclear weapons infrastructure,
rolling back capabilities by
some say several years.
And this preemptive action, it
fractured Iran’s longstanding
strategy of encircling Israel
through these proxies in
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Gaza,
Yemen, even the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad right there in the
West Bank.
And which what a lot of people
called the ring of fire.
So, at this, as this threat
network, it basically
is collapsing.
There’s a new vision that has
emerged, a ring of hope.
I think Danny Danon called it,
the Israeli ambassador to the
United Nations.
He called it, we went from
the ring of fire to the ring
of hope.
And it’s grounded in regional
normalization, economic
integration, and
diplomatic progress.
Now you can only imagine us here
at Endtime Ministries.
We were talking about World
War III one week and then the
potential for a peace agreement
the next week.
It’s crazy, but they’re
both prophesied.
So the Abraham Accords, they’ve
already proven the potential for
cooperation with the United Arab
Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and
man, what’s the fourth one?
Sudan.
Now with Iran temporarily
contained, the opportunity that
many believe to expand peace
across the Gulf and beyond is
within reach, but again, the
first statement that I made was,
it’s got to be between the
Israelis, the prophesied
agreement, and the
Palestinians, okay?
A lot of people said, “Well, the
Abraham Accords and this United
Nations, Saudi Arabia initiative
and all these different things,”
and one of them could lead to it
certainly, but it hasn’t yet.
And so it’s got to be between
those two because it’s got to
deal with the West Bank and
you’re gonna understand this as
we go.
So despite these gains, Israel
has faced international
criticism, particularly from the
United Nations, who’s of course
moral equivocation and political
inertia have often emboldened
aggressors rather than
upheld peace.
Nevertheless, Israel’s actions
have not only secured its own
survival, but besides God, but
if you’re looking at this from a
news situation, a
geopolitical situation.
It has reaffirmed its commitment
to democratic values and a
regional stability, but
that’s not gonna last.
That’s not gonna last.
There’s more wars coming.
And though challenges remain,
the tide has turned, it seems,
from a geopolitical situation
with strength, clarity and
vision, Israel has pierced
the ring of fire for now.
And stands poised to forge
this ring of hope.
Now, I’m giving you, where do we
stand right now?
They went from war, seven-front
war to now they’re looking at
peace, peace, peace everywhere.
And the Bible prophesies the
next new thing on God’s
prophetic timeline is a World
War III and a peace agreement in
the Middle East, and these are
the two most talked about things
in your news today.
I’m saying global news,
especially overseas.
Here, you know, we’re talking
about Epstein and all this other
stuff and I mean, you know.
I just, you know, I’m watching
the big scope of this
whole thing.
And, you know, Epstein, we’ll
talk, that’s another
conversation, okay?
But the let’s talk about some
current peace proposals.
On June 26th, Israel Hayom, they
reported that in a wake of a
successful US strike on Iranian
nuclear sites, President Donald
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, they reached
a broad consensus on this
forward looking Middle East
peace framework.
And their shared vision included
a swift end to the Gaza war.
This is what they’re working
on right now.
Expansion of the Abraham Accords
to include Syria and Saudi
Arabia and a cautious
endorsement of a two-state
solution with strong
Israeli safeguards.
Under their plan, Gaza, the Gaza
hostilities would have ended
within two weeks, with four
moderate Arab states taking over
civil administration.
Hamas leaders would be exiled,
hostages freed, and pathways
open for Gazans to
emigrate abroad.
The Abraham Accords would grow,
new peace partners across the
Abraham, I’m sorry, the Arab
and Muslim worlds.
And a conditional
two-state model.
Now this was, this is what they
talked about, would be embraced
dependent on deep Palestinian
Authority reforms certainly.
They’re saying a demilitarized
one and with limited Israeli
sovereignty recognized in Judea
and Samaria affirming Israel’s
rights in key biblical
heartlands.
Now President Trump and Prime
Minister Netanyahu, their
coordinations–of course it
signals a major strategic pivot.
I get it.
And I’m reading every article I
can get my hands on, but one
focused on pragmatic alliances,
Arab neighbors, regional
stability, and preserving
Israel’s national interests
while sidelining
terrorist influence.
One of the things that has made
this possible is the, of course,
the biggest thing is them doing
away with all these, or I should
say really throwing a wet
blanket on these terrorist
proxies of Iran.
And it with these military
operations that they’ve been
doing over the last 20 months,
and it is certainly paved the
way for peace negotiations
because one of the reasons that
October 7th happened in the–and
Hamas invaded was because Israel
was getting ready to sign a
normalization agreement with
Saudi Arabia.
You remember about that being
talked about in late September
of 2023.
Hamas invaded October
7th of 2023.
Because they did not want these,
the Saudi-Israeli normalization
agreement to happen.
So we went from war to now
everybody’s talking about peace.
But if they, what would happen
if they got ready to sign new
normalization agreements with
Arab nations?
Would China and Russia come
in to help Iran?
I mean, I don’t know.
I know there’s the next two
things on God’s prophetic
timeline is World War III and
the peace agreement.
Those would be once
and done things.
The–of course there’s the
ongoing fulfillment of world
government, world religion, and
all these other things that
we’re watching, but these are
the next two main things that
we’re watching to be to just
happen and then we’ll know,
boom, you can put a
stake in the sand.
This is where it happened.
On July 6th, the Jewish News
Syndicate reported that in a
historic and unexpected move,
five leading Arab sheikhs from
Hebron, Israel’s ancient
heartland in Judea, they
declared their desire to join
the Abraham Accords and they’re
right down there in
the West Bank.
And they would recognize Israel
as a Jewish state, rejecting the
Palestinian Authority and the
broader Palestinian nationalist
narrative, and these tribal
leaders, they’re calling for
coexistence, economic
partnership, and a future
alongside Israel.
It was led by Sheikh Wadee
al-Jaabari and the sheikhs have
formally requested to sever ties
with the Palestinian Authority.
And establish a–an autonomous
emirate under Israeli
partnership and their message is
clear that they no longer
believe in the myth of a unified
Palestinian nation and they
want out.
They went out from under the
corruption and the tyranny that
has come from the Palestinian
Authority under Mahmoud Abbas or
Ramallah’s leadership.
Will that lead to an
Israeli-Palestinian
situation, agreement?
I don’t know at this point.
I’m just telling you kind of
where we’re at current peace
proposals because there are
people that are not letting this
thing die.
And of course this seismic shift
that is signals the collapse of
the two-state illusion.
And validates Israel’s enduring
strength and success of the
Abraham Accords.
So there’s a lot of things that
are happening here in the
news, everybody.
They’re pushing, pushing,
pushing to get a peace
agreement done.
And will all these things
lead to peace?
Something will in the
near future.
I don’t know what it’s gonna be,
but it’s something we all should
be watching because when the
prophesied peace agreement is
settled and signed, we’ll start
the final seven years to the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Dave: You know, in the past,
Prime Minister Netanyahu, he
publicly expressed support for
the concept of the two states
for two peoples.
At times, he has indicated a
willingness to, you know, see
significant portions of the West
Bank, of course referred to in
Israel as Judea and Samaria.
And in an effort to form the
basis of a future Palestinian
state, he’s been okay with that.
And this delineation of final
borders, however, it’s remains
subject to direct negotiations
between the two parties.
A lot of these other nations
have come in.
We want to bring you guys this,
negotiating table and we’re
gonna force you into agreement.
They said no.
It’s only gonna be between us
two at a negotiation table on
our own, doing our own thing,
and we’re gonna make sure this
thing will work and up to this
point they haven’t been able to
do it.
Reports from that period
suggested that Netanyahu was
only open to a proposal advanced
by Palestinian Prime Minister
Salam Fayyad, that he was open
to that, and that plan addressed
the status of the approximately
350,000 Jews living out in
Judea, Samaria.
Under Fayyad’s proposal, Jews
living in areas designated to
become part of the Palestinian
state would have the option to
sell their property and
businesses and relocate within
Israel’s recognized boundaries,
the boundaries that were settled
on in a peace agreement.
This is very prophetic because
alternatively those who chose to
remain out in the West Bank
region would be permitted to
stay living as a Jewish minority
under Palestinian governance.
Folks, that is as
prophetic as it gets.
The Jews that will be out there,
the Jews Jesus warned to flee in
Matthew 24.
Let them that be in Judea flee
when you see the abomination of
desolation occur.
These are the Jews that will be
allowed to live out there under
Palestinian governance.
It’s already–all this has
already been proposed and there
are Jews that are willing to
live out there under
Palestinian jurisdiction.
On the particularly sensitive
issue of the Temple Mount,
consensus among Middle East
analysts, they pointed towards a
shared arrangement and this idea
of course first proposed by Bill
Clinton back at the Camp
David summit in 2000.
It called for the Temple Mount
to be administered jointly by
Muslims and Jews with oversight
by an international body.
This is what’s coming in
the near future.
You watch for it, folks.
And according to various
accounts, Netanyahu was prepared
to consider just such an
arrangement as a
viable compromise.
Think about that.
The great Netanyahu that
everybody has said, “Oh, he’ll
never do this.”
He’s been willing to do it
in the past.
He’s a politician, everybody.
So and certainly if he goes off
there, there are people right
now in the news talking about
bailing on the government and
and forcing elections
again in Israel.
If Netanyahu was to go off the
scene and a much more liberal
prime minister come in with a
much more liberal government,
imagine the the peace deals
that could be signed.
I don’t agree they should ever
sign a peace deal, but the Bible
says they’re going to
against God’s will.
The Bible says, “Don’t sign any
covenant with the heathen when
you go into the Promised Land.”
But a central point of
contention in these peace talks
is always the status
of Jerusalem.
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas, he’s insisted always that
East Jerusalem must serve as the
capital of this future
Palestinian state.
Netanyahu has maintained that
the Jerusalem should remain the
undivided capital of Israel, and
of course now there–this
impasse has proved a major
obstacle to finalizing any kind
of an agreement.
However, during a White House
meeting just back on July 7th,
Netanyahu addressed the question
of whether a two-state solution
remains viable.
Here’s what he said,
and I’m quoting.
He says, “I think Palestinians
should have all the power to
govern themselves.”
He’s totally cool with that.
“But none of the powers to
threaten us.
We’ve got to have
defensible borders.
It’s all got to be laid out so
they can’t threaten us.
We’re happy to do–to give them
some land for a Palestinian
state, but they can’t
ever threaten us.”
And he said that–this just
happened at the White House.
You guys saw this: that that
means that certain powers like
overall security, will always
remain in our hands.
The Israeli, Netanyahu went on
to say no one in Israel will
agree to anything else because
we’re not going to commit
suicide, we want life.
And we cherish life for
ourselves, for our neighbors,
and I think we can work out a
peace between us and in the
entire Middle East, but with,
he’s saying with President
Trump’s leadership, by working
together I think we can
establish a very, very broad
peace that will include our
neighbors, but he also argued
that Gaza was under Hamas.
It was a de facto Palestinian
state prior to October 7, 2023,
when they attacked, but instead
of building a functional
society, Hamas constructed
bunkers, terror tunnels,
ultimately launching a brutal
assault on Israeli civilians.
And so he’s warning here that
establishing a second
Palestinian state would likewise
become a platform to
destroy Israel.
So he said, we’re never gonna
allow that to happen.
He said, look, we’re gonna work
out a peace with our
Palestinian neighbors.
We’re gonna–Netanyahu is saying
we’re gonna do that.
But those who
don’t want to destroy us.
And we’ll work out a peace in
which our security, the
sovereign power of security,
always remains in our hands.
No people–and you know, now
people will say he’s saying
people in the news they’re gonna
say, well, it’s not a
complete state.
It’s not a state.
He goes, I don’t care.
We vowed never again at the
Holocaust and that never again
is now, and he said it’s not
gonna happen again.
So that’s kind of where Israel
stands under
Netanyahu’s leadership.
Now, if you get a much more
liberal guy in there, that–a
lot of that could change.
What’s the Palestinian position?
Well, Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas, he
continues to advocate obviously
for a two-state solution,
demanding the creation of a
Palestinian state along 1967
borders with East Jerusalem as
the capital and you know this is
despite decades of negotiations
and repeated offers from Israeli
leadership that have offered him
almost, not quite, but just
about everything they wanted.
And Abbas has shown little
flexibility, insisting on a list
of preconditions before going
into negotiations that many
believe preempt any meaningful
compromise.
His demands include a complete
halt to Israeli settlement
construction even in East
Jerusalem, the division of
Jerusalem, recognition of a
Palestinian right of return,
which basically it’s a proposal
that would flood Israel with
millions of descendants of
refugees and threaten its Jewish
character even.
And Abbas also requires the
release of Palestinian
prisoners, many of whom he–were
convicted of terrorism
related offenses.
And you know, rather than
fostering direct dialogue, Abbas
is increasingly turned to the
international arena to pressure
Israel, going to the United
Nations, and he’s pushing for
unilateral recognition of a
Palestinian state at the United
Nations and attempting to
prosecute Israel officials at
the International
Criminal Court.
Well, that doesn’t make for
a good negotiating partner,
does it?
Critics argue that these moves
are part of a broader strategy
to delegitimize Israel while
avoiding the hard compromises
necessary for peace,
just like Iran.
Avoid, evade, kick the can down
the road and not
getting anywhere.
If he only understood how much
Israel and the economy and the
technology and everything could
be beneficial to them,
he would have already done it.
And the Bible says they’re going
to do it in the near future.
Perhaps Abbas will go off the
scene and finally get something
done, perhaps the Abraham
Accords would lead to this.
That’s possible.
But while Abbas continues to
speak language of diplomacy, his
rigid demands and refusal to
recognize Israel as the nation
state of the Jewish people, it
remains a major obstacle to a
negotiated resolution.
So the question remains here:
when will the peace agreement
be concluded?
We’ve already–it’s
gonna happen.
Question is when?
Well, the Bible makes it clear
that a peace agreement is
inevitable, but what remains
uncertain is when it will
take place.
The growing reach of the Abraham
Accords, particularly the
potential involvement of Saudi
Arabia, that’s a development
worth watching, and
I understand that.
I admit that the Abraham Accords
could bring it in.
It also could lead to war again
because Israel and Saudi Arabia
signing a normalization
agreement is why one of the main
reasons Hamas invaded
the first time.
So it currently stands out as
the most promising and, from
what I’m seeing, it stands out
as the most promising framework
for achieving peace between
Israel and the Palestinians,
bringing all the Arab neighbors
around Israel into a
normalization agreement in the
Abraham Accords and then they
would all be–can you imagine
the pressure that would be put
on the Palestinians to sign a
normalization agreement and some
kind of a peace
deal with Israel?
It would be immense.
However, the Abraham Accords
that had been signed with four
nations, it hadn’t succeeded
so far in getting an
Israeli-Palestinian peace
agreement done, and there’s no
assurance that it
ultimately will.
At present, both sides appear
unwilling to make the
significant compromises
necessary for a lasting
agreement, and Israel maintains
that its security concerns
require control of more land
than the Palestinian Authority
Mahmoud Abbas is
prepared to concede.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has
made it clear that redividing
Jerusalem, that’s not an option
under any circumstance.
On the other hand, Mahmoud
Abbas, he insists that peace
must be based on a full Israeli
withdrawal from back to ’67
borders, pull all the settlers
out, with East Jerusalem as its
capital for a future Palestinian
state, and he also appears to
believe that in–some kind of an
international recognition
perhaps led by the United
Nations would eventually
deliver, you know, these demands
without even negotiation.
So the question is,
if not now, when?
I mean, all of the terrorist
proxies, they pretty much had,
you know, water thrown
in their face.
They’ve been–many of them have
been decimated.
Iran is, you know, their nuclear
aspirations have
been obliterated.
And, or at least I should say
they’re obliterated to the point
where they pushed it off for
several, several years.
So these dynamics are why many
of the Middle East analysts,
they remain skeptical that
current peace efforts between
Israel and the Palestinians are
going to succeed.
If today’s conditions aren’t
enough to drive both sides
to compromise.
Well, we’ve gotta ask: What
future events could force them
to sign a peace agreement?
Because that peace agreement’s
coming, it’s prophesied.
Well, of course you guys know
the Bible says there’s a war
coming in the Middle East that
will kill one-third of the
world’s population.
In my opinion, I’m telling you
this is opinion, everybody.
It looks like from everything
I’m watching, Bible prophecies
and everything that’s gonna come
down, it looks like that they
will not sign a peace
agreement until
after World War III happens.
Again, this is my opinion that
World War III is gonna happen
and then the international
community is gonna look at
Israel and the Palestinians and
say you guys are gonna sign a
peace agreement whether you
want to or not.
And now, again, I’ve got to be
honest, I could be wrong on
that, but it looks like that’s
what’s gonna happen.
And I don’t think maybe
eventually, maybe after the war,
the Abraham Accords would bring
in an Israeli-Palestinian
situation, but I just wanted us
to know what is, what’s the
situation, what’s going on in
the Middle East?
There’s so many news
stories flying around.
I wanted you guys to understand
the truth of it all, know where
we’re at, and know what to watch
in the near future because no
matter what happens, these
prophecies will come to pass.
