Converging Signs And The 'Covenant' To Come

Unprecedented Cooperation, Peace, and Stability

Daymond Duck

On Sept. 20, 2023, during a meeting between Russia’s Defense Minister and Iran’s Minister of Defense and Armed Forces, the Iranian minister said:

• “Russia and Iran have developed to reach an unprecedented new level of cooperation and understanding.”
• “Our relations in the fields of defense and security have attained unprecedented development over the past decade.”
• “I have no doubt that our cooperation will lead to peace and stability on the world stage.”

It would be wise to consider what God said along these lines more than 2,600 years ago.

• In the latter years and latter days, Gog (the dictator) of the Land of Magog (Russia) will attack the re-established Jewish nation on the mountains of Israel (Ezek. 38:2, 8, 15-16).
• Persia (modern name is Iran) and others will cooperate (join) with Russia (Ezek. 38:5).
• Russia will be a guard (a defender) of Iran and the others (Ezek. 38:7).
• God will destroy Russia, Iran, and their allies (Ezek. 38:18-39:5).

Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars (not peace and stability) on earth until His Second Coming (Matt. 24:3-8).

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that time is short.

Six, concerning a covenant of peace with many (see Dan. 9:27) in the Middle East: on Sept. 22, 2023, Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the UN General Assembly Meeting in NY City.

Among other things, Netanyahu said the world must choose between two visions of the future.

• One vision is a world with Israel, Saudi Arabia, many Arab and Muslim nations, and world leaders cooperating to bring “dramatic new blessings of peace and prosperity to all mankind.”
• The other vision is Iran and the Palestinians rejecting peace, world leaders doing nothing to stop Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, with the result being an unimaginable and catastrophic war.

Using Scripture, Netanyahu told world leaders Moses presented the children of Israel with a choice when they entered the Promised Land. They could obey God and be blessed or disobey God and be cursed.

Then, Netanyahu told the world leaders they must choose between a blessing or a curse (a blessing of peace, prosperity and hope, or a curse of horrific war and terrorism).

Eight, about one month ago, I wrote the following:

• Concerning the Antichrist confirming (strengthening) a seven-year covenant that will begin the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27), it is looking more and more like that is shaping up.
• For one thing, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 18-19 to push world leaders to commit to “seven years of accelerated, sustained, and transformative action, both nationally and internationally, to deliver on the promise of the SDGs” (Sustainable Development Goals that are in essence the creation of a world government).
• In my words, Guterres wants world leaders to agree (to make a covenant) to speed up the development of a world government by making more and faster changes over the next seven years.
• Understand that the UN voting to commit to bringing in a world government in seven years is one thing, and the Antichrist confirming (or strengthening) an existing seven-year covenant is another thing. The UN can vote for it in Sept., but the Antichrist can sign it any time during the seven years or later.

A few readers have asked what happened at the Sept. 18-19 UN meeting.

On Sept. 25, 2023, Michael Snyder reported that:

• The SDG goals are “essentially a blueprint for how the globalists want the world to be run.”
• World leaders pledged to do “whatever is necessary to meet those goals on time.”
• World leaders really do intend to implement the SDGs” by the time the UN General Assembly convenes in September 2030.”
• They are calling the next seven years “a new phase of accelerated progress.”
• “Extreme measures will soon be implemented all over the world.”
