Donald Trump has once again stepped boldly onto the world stage, announcing a peace agreement between two nations long seen as irreconcilable foes: Israel and Iran. Yes, you read that correctly—Israel and Iran, two nations whose very identities have long been defined by their opposition to one another. The implications of this historic deal, if it holds, could reach far beyond geopolitics, sparking intense discussions among those who see a deeper, prophetic meaning behind current events.
Indeed, for millions of evangelical Christians, the announcement from President Trump isn’t just a diplomatic breakthrough—it’s a potential fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Ezekiel’s ancient prophecy speaks clearly: before the climactic war of Gog and Magog, Israel will experience a period of genuine peace and security. Ezekiel wrote over 2,500 years ago that Israel would be “dwelling securely,” enjoying a season of calm before a coalition of nations, including Persia—modern-day Iran—launches a devastating assault.
Israel, since its miraculous rebirth as a nation in 1948, has rarely known peace, continually under threat from hostile neighbors and global detractors. But Trump’s foreign policy achievements, including the groundbreaking Abraham Accords during his first term, have already begun shifting the region toward unprecedented cooperation. Now, with this latest peace announcement between Israel and Iran, the stage seems set for precisely the kind of calm Ezekiel foresaw.
Jimmy Evans, a respected author and prophetic expert, recently emphasized the significance of Trump’s diplomatic moves. Speaking on his “Tipping Point” podcast, Evans described Israel’s recent military actions against Iran leading up to this deal as a “massive event,” noting it “will throw prophetic pieces into place.” Evans believes we are witnessing the prelude to the Gog and Magog battle, identifying a coming season of peace as the necessary stage-setter before prophecy’s climax.
Evans further explained last week, saying, “I believe what we’re about to see is not only the defeat of Israel’s enemies, I believe we’re about to see the beginning again of the Abraham Accords and peace between Israel and many of their Muslim, their Arab neighbors that’s going to be a golden age for the Middle East in many ways.” He added pointedly, “This is something that I believe you see there in Ezekiel 38, where when this invasion happens, Israel’s going to be at peace. Israel has to have a time of peace before the Gog and Magog invasion. I believe that’s what we’re seeing right now.”
Yet, it isn’t merely Evans who sees the biblical significance here. Todd Hampson, the host of the “Prophecy Pros Podcast,” has previously described Israel’s return as a nation as a “super sign” of the end times. David Herzog, author of “Glory and the End Times,” agrees, recently pointing out that a temporary period of peace with Iran—possibly even involving significant regime shifts in Tehran—would align perfectly with Ezekiel’s prophecy. “What comes next?” Herzog asked rhetorically. “A season of peace and prosperity.”
As conservatives, we must recognize that Trump’s America First foreign policy is not merely a pragmatic approach to diplomacy. It aligns with deeply held moral convictions about peace, sovereignty, and security. Supporting Israel is not only strategically sound—it is morally right. Evangelicals, who comprise a significant portion of the conservative movement and Republican Party, understand this instinctively. America’s unwavering support for Israel under Trump has sent a clear message to the world that the United States stands resolutely with its allies and will not tolerate aggression.
Yet, prophecy also tells us this peace will not last indefinitely. Evans suggests the next major prophetic event may be the rapture of the Christian Church—a moment when believers are removed from the earth. Such an event would almost certainly change the geopolitical landscape dramatically, leaving Israel without its most steadfast ally, the United States. In that vacuum, Ezekiel predicts, nations like Russia, Turkey, and Iran will seize their chance to attack. But God’s intervention will be decisive, displaying His glory and sovereignty to the entire world.
Whether one subscribes to a literal interpretation of Bible prophecy or not, the geopolitical developments we are witnessing under President Trump are undeniably historic. Trump’s tireless pursuit of peace and security for America and her allies isn’t just smart geopolitics—it’s a moral imperative that aligns with our deepest convictions as conservatives. We are living in remarkable times, and Trump’s leadership is once again guiding America and the world toward a safer, more prosperous future. Let us continue to pray for wisdom, discernment, and strength in these extraordinary days.
