What event starts the final seven years of God’s prophetic timeline?
The final seven years of God’s prophetic timeline begin when a leader signs a seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel, guaranteeing their borders, peace, and prosperity. According to Daniel chapter 9, that covenant triggers God’s time clock and starts the final seven-year prophecy.
Les explains that this leader signs a treaty with the nation of Israel that guarantees them seven years and their borders. He will seem to be everything Israel’s Messiah promised: a man with political power, military power behind him, seemingly morally upright, and promising peace, prosperity, and safety from their neighbors. Les says this seven-year treaty with Israel triggers God’s time clock and kicks it into gear, because now begins that final seven years of prophecy, a time frame in which God delineates events. Shortly after, Les expects the red horse, which he equates with the Russian invasion or the Russians and the Gogs and Magogs of Ezekiel 38.
