No. Les Feldick teaches that there will not be genuine, lasting peace in the Middle East before Christ returns.
World leaders may bring together a makeshift arrangement, but it will not last. The real peace treaty will be the Antichrist's seven-year covenant, and Jerusalem will have no peace until the Prince of Peace returns to it.
Zechariah 12:3 — Les cites this as the scriptural reason Jerusalem remains a stone of stumbling before Christ's return.
Daniel 9:27 — Les describes the Antichrist's seven-year covenant as the real peace treaty that precedes the end.
Isaiah 9:6 — This verse names Christ the Prince of Peace, which is why Les says there is no peace until He comes.
Scripture does not promise Middle East peace before Christ returns. Instead, the biblical prophets describe Jerusalem as a source of global conflict. Zechariah 12:3 (KJV) says: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Daniel 9:27 (KJV) also points to a one-week covenant confirmed by a coming prince: "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This is a limited covenant, not an everlasting peace. The only permanent peace Scripture connects with the Middle East is the peace that comes through the Messiah. Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) calls Him "The Prince of Peace," and Psalm 122:6 tells God's people to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The Bible never pictures the world's diplomats producing that peace; it belongs to Christ's future reign.
Les Feldick's answer is plain: there will not be genuine peace in the Middle East before Christ returns. He points out that world leaders have pursued Middle East peace for decades—every U.S. president since Kennedy has made it a priority—yet Jerusalem remains what Scripture calls a stone of stumbling. He does not dismiss their efforts, but he says the peace they are trying to build is not the peace God will send. Les teaches that what comes before Christ is either a makeshift arrangement or a false peace. The real peace treaty, he says, will be the seven-year covenant made by the Antichrist, whom he places in the revived Roman Empire, or United States of Europe. Even that will not bring true peace; it will only set the stage for the tribulation. Jerusalem's true peace, Les explains, will not come until Christ returns to the city at His second coming. He applies the psalmist's command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem to praying for the Lord to come quickly, because Jerusalem will have no peace until the Prince of Peace is back in Jerusalem.
Les Feldick observes that every United States president, at least since Kennedy, has made it almost his personal goal to bring peace to the Middle East. He contrasts this with other world conflicts—Sri Lanka, the areas of Africa in turmoil—that receive much less attention. The scriptural explanation, he says, is that Jerusalem is a stone of stumbling, so every administration stubs its toe on Jerusalem.
Les allows that world leaders may get some kind of peace together, but he calls it a makeshift thing that will not last. The real peace treaty will be made by the Antichrist, who will bring a seven-year covenant of peace to Israel and the Middle East. Les rejects the idea that recent Middle East agreements are the prophesied covenant, insisting that a genuine peace treaty has not yet been signed.
True peace for Jerusalem will come only at the second coming of Christ. Les teaches that Jerusalem will have no peace until the Prince of Peace is back in Jerusalem, and that praying for the peace of Jerusalem is really praying for the Lord to come quickly. Whatever peace the nations manage to arrange before then is temporary.
Les points to Genesis 15:18 as God's title deed to the Middle East for the nation of Israel. In that verse God tells Abraham that He has given his seed the land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates. This is the biblical basis for Israel's claim to the land.
God's Title Deed to the Land
Les teaches that Genesis 15:18 is God's title deed giving Abraham's descendants the land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates, so Israel's claim to the land rests on God's covenant.
No Peace Until the Prince of Peace Comes
Les teaches that there will be no peace on earth until Christ returns, and that Jerusalem's peace is so tied to His presence that praying for the peace of Jerusalem is actually praying for the Lord to come quickly.
Antichrist's Seven-Year Peace Treaty
Les teaches that every president has failed to bring peace to Jerusalem because it is a stone of stumbling; the Antichrist will eventually succeed in making a seven-year treaty of peace with Israel and the Middle East.
Makeshift Peace and the Real Treaty
Les says today's peace push may produce a makeshift arrangement that won't last, but the real peace treaty will be made by the Antichrist, whom he sees coming out of the revived Roman Empire.
The World's Idea of Peace vs. Scripture's
Les distinguishes the world's definition of peace as absence of war from the Scripture's true peace, and repeats that there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes.
Recent Treaties Are Not the Real Peace
Les cautions against treating recent Middle East agreements as the fulfilled prophecy; he says there is no peace in Israel even after those agreements and no real peace treaty has been signed.
Jerusalem's Peace Comes at the Second Coming
Les teaches that Jerusalem has been under Gentile control from 606 B.C. until the present and will not have peace until Christ returns to Jerusalem at His second coming.
The World's Obsession With Middle East Peace
Les observes that every U.S. president since Kennedy has made Middle East peace a priority while ignoring conflicts in places like Sri Lanka and Africa, showing that Jerusalem is God's focal point and a stone of stumbling.
Genesis 15:18: In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
The specific land promise Les cites as Israel's title deed to the Middle East.
Psalm 122:6: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Les applies this verse to praying for Christ's return, since Jerusalem will not have peace without Him.
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Identifies Christ as the Prince of Peace, the only source of lasting peace.
Zechariah 12:3: And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Explains why Jerusalem is a stone of stumbling for world leaders, as Les notes.
Daniel 9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Describes the seven-year covenant that Les says is the real peace treaty, made by the Antichrist.
Les Feldick teaches that no president will succeed in bringing lasting peace; Jerusalem is a stone of stumbling. The Antichrist will eventually make a seven-year treaty of peace with Israel and the Middle East, and the world will think he is a mastermind.
Jerusalem will have no peace until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, returns to the city at His second coming. That is why Les says praying for the peace of Jerusalem is really asking the Lord to come quickly.
Les does not believe recent agreements are the real treaty. He says the current peace push may produce a makeshift arrangement that will not last, but the real peace treaty will be made by the Antichrist.
No. Les is emphatic that there will not be peace on this earth until the Prince of Peace comes. The world may think the United Nations will solve everything, but that is not the biblical outcome.
