Newsflash: Peace in Sight?

After months of escalation, this week seems to bring a historic turn in the Middle East. Hamas has declared its agreement with the core points of the Gaza peace plan proposed by Donald Trump, including the release of hostages and a ceasefire. This suggests a breakthrough may be near in a conflict that for decades appeared unsolvable. Israel has already stated its willingness to implement the plan immediately, as soon as the first phase of the agreement can begin.
What is now unfolding is more than geopolitical news – it touches on prophetic perspective. For the coming of an agreement of “peace and security” (cf. 1 Thess. 5:3) has long been foretold. Yet that peace will prove to be only temporary: a façade of calm preceding new developments in the prophetic plan.
Will this peace be brought about by the man who presents himself as a peacemaker?
Will President Trump take on the role of the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2?
