God’s hand was on this 2024 election. We were alerted to this when Trump narrowly and miraculously escaped assassination at his rally in Butler, Pa. To determine the significance of this U.S. election, let’s look at three overarching truths we know for sure:
- God is sovereign, and He acts according to His good pleasure. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. (Psa. 75:7) God is in control, and He was the one who allowed Trump to win. He did it for His purposes. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. (Prov. 19:21)
- In the Bible, God’s eyes and prophetic markers are mainly set on Israel, so keep your eyes on whatever involvement Trump may have with Israel.
- In his first administration, Trump oversaw the development of the Abraham Accords—a relationship normalization pact that involved a convergence of interests among the U.S., Israel and several Arab nations. After Trump left office after his first term, conflicts and rivalries have broiled. Will God turn this around and refire the normalization process?
This is where it gets interesting Biblically. When you examine Jacob’s life outlined in Genesis 28-35 prophetically, you will see some parallels to where we are now. Jacob represents Israel as a nation (his name was actually changed to Israel). In order to get free from the stronghold of his father-in-law Laban, Jacob enters into a trade agreement with him. It’s what the story of the speckled, grisled and ringstraked cattle is all about prophetically in Gen. 31. It’s a trade agreement that’s completely about money that will lead to a peace agreement. Now we all know that the antichrist will confirm a peace agreement between Israel and its hostile neighbors. But preceding that will be a trade agreement.

This brings us back to Donald Trump and the Abraham Accords, which are agreements with Israel’s surrounding Arab nations that provide a framework for diplomatic and economic (all about the money) cooperation.
You should hear this from the mouth of Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He presented his vision for Middle East peace based on trade to Congress this year. He showed a map and said: “This is the map I presented here last year. It’s a map of a blessing. It shows Israel and its Arab partners forming a land bridge connecting Asia and Europe. Between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, across this bridge, we will lay rail lines, energy pipelines, and fiber optic cables, and this will serve the betterment of 2 billion people.” Netanyahu is rather passionate about the possibilities, and we are on the edge of our seats!
We believe Trump was guided by God to secure a second term as president to help continue to shepherd the Abraham Accords trade agreement. This will lead to the peace agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbors that the antichrist will confirm at the beginning of the tribulation. (Daniel 9:27) Of course, the rapture happens before this peace agreement is formalized.
This does not make Donald Trump the antichrist. God has him in this position for a purpose and for such a time as this. His facilitator abilities will be very useful in finishing what his first administration started for a Middle East trade agreement that will lead to the famous peace agreement.
Ever what you think about Donald Trump, there is a bigger story playing out here.
