2. He Will Forge a 7-Year Peace Treaty with Israel, Only to Break It Halfway
- Key Scripture: Daniel 9:27
Daniel’s prophecy outlines a specific timeline for end-time events. One of the most critical prophecies says:
“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering…”
—Daniel 9:27 (NIV)
This “seven” refers to a period of seven years—a final “week” of years in Daniel’s seventy-week prophecy. The Antichrist will establish a peace agreement with Israel and “many,” possibly including surrounding nations. This treaty might appear to usher in peace in the Middle East—a feat that has long eluded global leaders.
However, after 3.5 years, the Antichrist will break the covenant. He will end temple sacrifices and desecrate the sanctuary—this is often referred to as the “abomination of desolation” (Matthew 24:15, 2 Thessalonians 2:4). What begins as peace will turn into unprecedented betrayal and persecution.

9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; Revelations 1: 9-12
