I love irony. Do you? It’s interesting, while also being tragic, that almost universally the overwhelming majority are so, so convinced that what they know is real, true, how things really are. I mentioned this in a very recent preface to an article.

It’s ironic that the man most visible in the world, known to be anti-globalization, is working to form the very structure never before accomplished to make global control by a small select group possible.

Many blind, ignorant, foolish people have determined, shouted, proclaimed, wondered if President Trump is the Antichrist. This merely reveals their total lack of Bible literacy, understanding, and discernment.

But that does not mean that President Trump, in attempting to do what is right, to his thinking, as he acts in a worldly manner sans Scripture belief and discernment, void of being born again, can’t create, implement the very structures, tools, and pathways making the entrance of the Antichrist possible.

A “little horn” is going to rise up and appear among the 10 big horns. A heretofore unknown individual.

Not President Trump.

Stop being distracted by nonsense. Stop listening to the world and others and put your face, your eyes, your ears, your heart, and mind in God’s Word.

Let’s continue…

But, President Trump, in thinking he’s doing the right thing, unwittingly, is likely creating the very vehicle, institution, making it possible for the “little horn” to become part of, and to appear to the world.

Nothing is merely political, philosophical, of the flesh, of being an American, Japanese, German, this or that — EVERYTHING has within it the spiritual battle of the flesh and Spirit, of the LORD and Satan, of what is truly right[eous] and what is truly evil.

Veiled to the world.

Veiled to most folks.

Even veiled to the majority professing to be Christ followers when they don’t know Genesis from Revelation, they are workers, performers, not doers, not hearers, not living out, working out their salvation, not discerning well and wisely the daily battle every person is engaged in. Even the idle ones, the otherwise occupied ones, the sleeping ones. All play a part. All are included. No one is excluded.

It’s ALL spiritual warfare. The fulfillment of EVERY WORD of God’s whole Word. There is no separating things. And it’s all escalating rapidly, isn’t it? Hang on, because it’s only going to increase, intensify, and reveal more each passing day.

Read on…

Better yet, begin reading, believing, understanding, and loving God’s Word given to every person willing to turn to Him, read, hear, seek discernment, believing, meditating — thinking deeply, pondering, taking to heart, comparing to what is occurring in the world, being truly illuminated in the Light, the Truth, the Way…to Life in this life.

Because so few ever open The Book to learn, to grow, to know.

Trump’s “Board Of Peace” Reveal Is Coming Soon – Kings Without Kingdoms?

January 09, 2026

Reprinted from Prophecy News Watch

History has a way of repeating itself–not always in identical form, but often in eerily familiar patterns. As reports emerge that President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to unveil a sweeping international “Board of Peace,” Christians would be wise to pay close attention. Not with fear, not with sensationalism–but with discernment. The pieces now being placed on the global chessboard bear striking resemblance to patterns described long ago in the pages of Scripture.

According to U.S. and regional officials, the Trump administration plans to announce the Board of Peace as early as next week, positioning it as a global body not only to guide postwar Gaza but eventually to assist in resolving conflicts worldwide.

Confirmed participants reportedly include Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany–already a powerful and geographically diverse coalition. But perhaps most striking is the administration’s consideration of filling remaining seats with the heads of major multinational institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Economic Forum.

These institutions possess extraordinary influence but govern no land, command no armies, and answer to no electorate. These are leaders who do not wear crowns, yet their decisions shape economies, determine development paths, and exert leverage over sovereign governments. They are, in every meaningful sense, kings without kingdoms.

Power Without Borders, Authority Without Nations

This is where the Board of Peace could take on a distinctly new character. The presence of multinational institutional leaders would fundamentally transform the board from a gathering of national representatives into a technocratic ruling council. These figures do not negotiate treaties on behalf of citizens; they set conditions, control capital flows, and define the rules by which nations must operate to receive aid, investment, or legitimacy.

Their inclusion signals a model of peace not rooted in reconciliation between peoples, but in compliance with global systems. Reconstruction funds, security cooperation, governance frameworks, and even leadership legitimacy could all be conditioned on adherence to standards defined by unelected global authorities. In this model, peace is no longer simply brokered–it is managed, enforced through economic incentives and institutional pressure.

For students of Scripture, the parallels are difficult to ignore. The Bible describes a future period in which authority is concentrated not solely in traditional kingdoms, but in a limited number of powerful figures who operate beyond national boundaries. Daniel speaks of rulers who arise suddenly, wield influence disproportionate to their origins, and play decisive roles in confirming agreements that directly impact Israel. Revelation later describes ten kings who rule briefly, not over historic empires, but through shared authority–leaders who ultimately “give their power” to one central figure.

Again, this is not to claim fulfillment–but to recognize a familiar pattern. Power detached from geography. Authority divorced from accountability. Leaders who shape the fate of nations without ever standing for election.

Gaza: Testing Ground for a Global Model

The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza. The Trump administration has made clear it is committed to the return of Israel’s remaining deceased hostage and to the disarmament of Hamas–but notably, it is unwilling to condition phase two of its peace plan on either. That second phase envisions sweeping changes: rebuilding Gaza, managing it through external oversight, and phasing out Israeli military control.

To that end, the U.S. is working with Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and others on a gradual Hamas disarmament plan. This reportedly includes surrendering heavy weapons and a “buy-back” program for lighter arms. Hamas, for its part, insists disarmament can only occur alongside the establishment of a Palestinian state–highlighting how fragile and conditional these assurances remain.

Parallel to this effort is the creation of a Palestinian technocratic committee–a group of politically unaffiliated administrators tasked with governing postwar Gaza. Egypt has taken the lead in assembling this body, with Israel vetoing any direct Palestinian Authority leadership role. Eight approved technocrats will now govern a devastated territory of more than two million people, backed not by elections, but by international mandate.

An intermediate executive committee–featuring figures like Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair, and former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov who has now been appointed as director-general of the Board–will oversee the process. The structure is unmistakable: layers of authority, none directly accountable to the people on the ground, all answerable to global stakeholders.

Security, Reconstruction, and the Illusion of Stability

The proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) is intended to phase out Israeli forces in Gaza. Yet Washington has struggled to secure troop commitments. Indonesia and Azerbaijan were floated as contributors, though Azerbaijan has already declined. U.S. officials insist participation will grow once nations realize the force will not be expected to confront Hamas directly–an admission that underscores Israel’s lingering security concerns.

Meanwhile, reconstruction is already underway. A pilot residential compound near Rafah is being cleared, with plans to house 20,000 Palestinians. The U.S. hopes to replicate this model across Gaza, contingent on the success of the technocratic government and the marginalization of Hamas.

It is a massive experiment–politically, militarily, and spiritually.

Watching the Puzzle Take Shape

Scripture does not tell us to panic when global structures emerge. It tells us to watch. To understand the times. To recognize that the final system will look reasonable, humanitarian, and even noble at first. “For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

What we are witnessing may not be the final picture–but it looks very much like pieces being laid out on the table. A peace guaranteed by outsiders. Power consolidated in elite hands. Decisions about Israel made far from Jerusalem. A world growing comfortable with governance by committee rather than covenant.

For now, it is like a jigsaw puzzle–many pieces, no clear image yet. But Christians should not look away. The God who declared the end from the beginning has not been surprised by any of this. Our calling is not to speculate recklessly, but to remain anchored in truth, prayerful for Israel, and confident that even when the nations gather, the Lord still reigns.

The stage may be forming–but the final word belongs to Him.
