Prophecy watchers will be closely observing President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday. This will be their third meeting this year making Netanyahu the world leader who has most visited Trump in the White House since the start of 2025.

In an article for Townhall, my friend Jonathan Feldstein made an intriguing speculation that “Perhaps to break the ice, Trump will announce an international conference, ‘Abraham’s Tent’ bringing together regional leaders who are still officially at war with Israel. But this time, such a conference would include Israel, maybe even in Jerusalem, hosted by President Trump himself.”

The suggestion is mega . . . Abraham’s Tent. . . maybe even in Jerusalem. . . . hosted by President Trump himself.

It’s all so eschatological for those who watch Bible prophecy unfolding.

Every Bible believer hates strife and war.

Of course, we want peace, but we want the genuine peace by the Prince of Peace sitting on David’s throne in Jerusalem.

By way of review here are the main Scriptures that warn of an End-time false peace:

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:3 – “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”
    • Warns of a false sense of peace before sudden judgment.
  • Ezekiel 38:11-12 – “You will say, ‘I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people.’”
    • Describes an attack on Israelis living in false security in the End Times.
  • Jeremiah 6:14 – “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”
    • Speaks of false prophets proclaiming peace when judgment looms, applicable to End-time deception.
  • Revelation 6:2 – “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”
    • The first seal, often seen as a figure (possibly Antichrist) appearing as a peaceful conqueror before bringing chaos.

The Feldstein article pointed out that no doubt both Trump and Netanyahu will take and share credit publicly, praising one another for the recent achievements to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat: “All of this could be Act II of the remarkable campaign of disinformation, masterfully choreographed between Trump and Netanyahu, setting up something even bigger.”

Many evangelicals see the Abraham Accords as a historic step toward peace in the Middle East, fulfilling biblical prophecies about Israel’s restoration and prominence. They often frame the agreements as divinely ordained, strengthening Israel’s security and legitimacy among Arab nations. For instance, commentators from evangelical outlets (e.g., Charisma News or CBN) have historically praised the 2020 Accords as a “miracle” of diplomacy, crediting Trump’s leadership.

Some evangelical voices express enthusiasm for the Accords’ expansion as a way to isolate militant Muslim factions and promote economic prosperity through trade with Israel. They argue that normalized relations could reduce anti-Israel sentiment in the region, aligning with Israel’s central role in End-times theology.

However, evangelical pundits are not monolithic. Some express cautious optimism, noting challenges like the dangers of a two-state solution, nothing that any entity within Biblical Judea and Samaria will be an existential threat to Israel.

Regarding specific 2025 developments, there’s the possibility of inclusion of Syria and Lebanon, as suggested by Israeli media and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s statements about “big announcements.”

Saudi Arabia’s potential participation in the Abraham Accords would be a major win, though pundits acknowledge the hurdle of Saudi demands for Palestinian progress.

Meanwhile, the symbolism of Abraham’s tent with its four open sides is rooted in Jewish tradition and biblical interpretation, often highlighted in evangelical and Jewish teachings. According to the Talmud (Bava Batra 75b) and Midrashic sources such as Genesis Rabbah, Abraham’s tent had four open entrances, symbolizing his boundless hospitality and acccessibility to all.

This imagery reflects several key themes:

  1. Universal Hospitality: The four open sides signify Abraham’s welcoming nature, inviting strangers from every direction—north, south, east, and west—into his home. This is tied to Genesis 18, where Abraham eagerly hosts three divine visitors. This is upheld as a model of godly generosity, emphasizing outreach and inclusivity.
  2. Spiritual Accessibility: The open tent represents Abraham’s role as a spiritual father to all nations (Genesis 17:4-5). The four sides suggest his teachings and faith were accessible to everyone, aligning with evangelical views of spreading God’s message universally.
  3. Connection to the Four Corners of the Earth: The four entrances symbolize God’s promise to Abraham that his descendants would bless all peoples (Genesis 12:3). This is Israel’s role in God’s plan, with the tent foreshadowing global redemption through Israel’s Messiah. (John 4: 22)
  4. Divine Presence and Balance: Some Jewish mystical interpretations (e.g., Zohar) link the four sides to the divine presence (Shechinah) radiating outward, embracing all creation. Evangelicals might interpret this as a prefiguration of the Messiah’s universal call.

Let’s watch this “space” and also keep looking up! Maranatha!
