Who will make a seven-year treaty with Israel according to Daniel 9?
According to Daniel chapter 9, the Antichrist will assign a seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel. This comes after the church age is completed and the church is taken out of the way, allowing God to resume His dealings with Israel. The world watches the Middle East peace process because of this.
Les explains that after the church age is completed, the church must be taken out of the way so God can pick up where He left off with the nation of Israel. The church is not under law, not associated with Israel, Judaism, or the temple, but is totally operating by God's grace based on the finished work of the cross. The tribulation period is primarily God dealing with Israel, and the church would be out of place there. Then, according to Daniel chapter 9, the Antichrist is introduced and will assign this seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel. That is why the whole world is always watching the Middle East peace process.
