Ten Reasons Donald Trump is not the Antichrist and why his Peace Plan is not the Peace Plan of Bible Prophecy
Students of Bible prophecy and Christians generally are aware there are some serious issues involved with the End Times. Some of the expected highlights are the Antichrist and the Israel Peace Plan. Some believe we are seeing the fulfillment of this right now without considering that the facts do not fit the prophetic model. Here are ten reasons why Donald Trump is not the Antichrist and his Peace Plan is not the ultimate one.
1. The Antichrist’s Kingdom is the revival of the old Roman Empire.
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a huge golden statue was interpreted by Daniel as a prophecy of five World Empires.
- The gold head represents the Babylonian Empire (BC 586-538) headed by Nebuchadnezzar. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:37,38″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all—you are this head of gold” Daniel 2:37-38.[/bg_collapse]
- The silver chest and arms represent the Persian Empire (BC 538-333). He identified this Empire in a later vision as the Kingdom of the Medes and Persians.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:39″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours” Daniel 2:39. [/bg_collapse][bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 8:20″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]”The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia” Daniel 8:20[/bg_collapse]
The bronze thigh represents the Greek Empire (BC 333-63), identified in a later vision as the Kingdom of Greece. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:39″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“…then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth” Daniel 2:39.[/bg_collapse] [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 8:21″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king” Daniel 8:21.[/bg_collapse] - The iron legs represent the Roman Empire (BC 63 to the Middle Ages). [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:40″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others” Daniel 2:40.[/bg_collapse]
- The ten toes represent the revived Roman Empire, the final world empire.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:41,42.” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile” Daniel 2:41,42.[/bg_collapse]
America does not fit this profile.
2. The Antichrist’s Kingdom is divided into ten groups of nations, each with its own leader (head), represented by the ten toes connected to Babylon and Rome.
This Kingdom will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus Christ when He returns to earth and stands on the Mount of Olives, as prophesied by Zechariah.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 2:45″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure” Daniel 2:45.[/bg_collapse]
Dividing the world into ten areas has already achieved with the Gatt Free Trade Agreement signed in October 1947 and implemented on January 1, 1948. Israel was established as a Nation in May 1948.
America does not fit this profile.
3. The Antichrist will be the authoritative leader of all ten groups of nations covering the whole world for a limited period of three-and-a-half years.
Midway through the seven-year tribulation period, he will declare himself to be Almighty God in the newly built Jerusalem Temple. From that moment, war and disasters such as has never been experienced by this world will decimate his power. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 7:25″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]”And he shall speak words against the Most High [God] and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change the time [of sacred feasts and holy days] and the law; and the saints shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time [three and one-half years]” Daniel 7:25 Amplified Bible. [/bg_collapse]
One of the ways Antichrist will control individuals and nations will be with the use of microchip technology. His Second-In-Command (the False Prophet) will “persuade” everyone to be chipped. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Revelation 13:16-18″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“He [the False Prophet] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Revelation 13:16-18.[/bg_collapse]
Incidentally, 666 is equivalent to computer binary code and already in use in society today.
Trump does not fit this profile.
4. The Antichrist will be worshipped by the inhabitants of the earth and greatly admired.
Everybody will love him and hang on his every word.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Revelation 13:7,8″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” Revelation 13:7-8.[/bg_collapse]
Trump does not fit this profile.
5. He will be a great Orator with a special hatred for all who love the God of the Bible.
[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Revelation 13:5,6″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven” Revelation 13:5-6.[/bg_collapse]
Trump does not fit this profile.
6. He will not acknowledge the God of the Bible.
Many scholars believe the phrase “the God of his fathers” is a reference to Antichrist’s Jewish heritage. Hitler also had Jewish blood running through his veins and hated the Jews with a passion too. They also believe the phrase “nor the desire if women” indicates his preference for the homosexual lifestyle. The world is certainly preparing itself to replicate the “Days of Noah” and the “Days of Lot” as prophesied by Jesus.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Daniel 11:37,38″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things” Daniel 11:37-38.[/bg_collapse]
[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Luke 17:26″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man” Luke 17:26.[/bg_collapse]
[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Luke 17:28-30″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed” Luke 17:28-30.[/bg_collapse]
Trump does not fit this profile.
7. Ezekiel’s prophesied Middle East war precedes the signing of the Peace Treaty between Antichrist and Israel.
We know something about that from the Bible.
- Russia, Iran, and Turkey lead the Arab nations into this conflict.
- They are supernaturally defeated and it will take Israel seven months to bury the dead. The way they deal with the bodies leads one to believe nuclear warfare is involved.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Ezekiel 39:11-15″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ] “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog. For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land… At the end of seven months they will make a search. The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.” Ezekiel 39:11-15.[/bg_collapse]
- Following this powerful defeat, Antichrist signs a 7-Year Peace Treaty with Israel.
Trump does not fit this profile.
8. Antichrist will only be revealed once the Church of Jesus Christ has been Raptured.
The Lord is coming to take His waiting people Home. He promised the Church He would not subject them to the worst trial this world will ever experience.
[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”2 Thessalonians 2:1-8″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8.[/bg_collapse]
[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Revelation 3:10″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]”Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” Revelation 3:10.[/bg_collapse]
Believers call this the Rapture of the Church. The Greek translated in English as “caught up” means “snatched up” suddenly and unexpectedly. The Latin translation of the Bible uses the term “rapio” from which we get the word Rapture. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]”For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.[/bg_collapse]
Are you still here? Trump hasn’t signed the prophesied Peace Plan. He doesn’t fit the profile.
9. The Peace Plan allows the Jews to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount where it belongs.
The Bible tells us Antichrist will enter that Temple when it is complete and declare himself to be God Almighty.[bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”2 Thessalonians 2:3-4″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ] “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.[/bg_collapse]
Trump’s Peace Plan does not include this important event.
Trump does not fit the profile.
10. The Peace Plan is between Antichrist and Israel.
The Bible tells us this treaty follows the spectacular defeat of the Palestinian invaders. Antichrist is setting himself up as the ruler of the whole world and this treaty serves to bring Israel under his authority. The scriptures indicate the Jews will initially believe him to be the long-awaited Messiah… until he declares his true identity and the Jewish people flee to the desert. There they will meet the real Messiah.
- In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness… And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” Zechariah 13:1-6.
- “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” Romans 11:26-27.
An interesting inference one can make regarding the Peace Treaty. Antichrist will command all residents of the earth to take the Mark on pain of death. Those who take it will damn their souls. [bg_collapse view=”link” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”zoom” expand_text=”Revelation 14:9-11″ collapse_text=”Show Less” ]”Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11.[/bg_collapse]
Obviously, the Jewish nation will be exempt and this can only be a result of the Peace Treaty. God did not give them this instruction without a good reason: “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord” Leviticus 19:28.
Does it have a purpose? Oh yes, indeed. This may well be the catalyst that provokes the Arab nations to fulfill Ezekiel’s prophecy. The Biblical Peace Treaty is “acceptable” to those who sign it. Trump’s Deal of the Century is definitely not.
The 2020 Peace Treaty does not fit the profile.
Conclusion about the Peace Plan
Donald Trump is not the Antichrist.
His Deal of the Century is not the prophesied Peace Treaty.
These events point us to the Soon Return of Christ and the whole world has been alerted.
