Breaking News – President Trump Announces a Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran – Is this the Long Awaited 7 Year Peace Treaty as Spoken of in Daniel?

Posted 6/23/2025 | End Times Watch | River Wilde

It wasn’t exactly a full-fledged peace treaty—but rather a ceasefire agreement brokered to halt the 12‑day military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Here’s a breakdown of what happened:

What the Ceasefire Entails

• Announced by President Trump on June 23, 2025, declaring a “complete and total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran
• The plan is phased in over 24 hours:
  1. First 12 hours – Iran begins to suspend its missile and drone strikes.
  2. Next 12 hours – Israel follows with a halt to its airstrikes.
  3. At the end of the 24‑hour window, the war is considered formally over

Diplomacy Behind the Scenes

• Qatar reportedly mediated the agreement, with both sides giving conditional acceptance
• While President Trump and VP Vance took public leadership roles—framing it as a diplomatic achievement—they were supported by earlier U.S.–Iran nuclear talks held in Oman, Rome, and Muscat from April to mid‑June, which laid groundwork for negotiation channels

Current Status & Reactions

• The ceasefire is set to start immediately, subject to a 6‑hour “wind‑down” period announced in Trump’s Truth Social post
• As of now, neither Israel nor Iran has formally confirmed the deal; both governments have remained silent while U.S. officials describe it as agreed
• The move comes after intense military escalation—including Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military installations and retaliatory Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in Qatar

What This Means

• It’s a temporary ceasefire, not a long-term peace treaty. Its primary goal is halting immediate hostilities and creating space for deeper diplomatic negotiations.
• The focus now shifts to whether both Iran and Israel—and potentially international mediators—will leverage the pause to craft a more lasting resolution or move toward nuclear/security talks like those earlier in 2025.

In summary: It’s a 24‑hour phased ceasefire brokered by President Trump with apparent Qatari mediation, awaiting confirmation from both sides. It may pave the way for broader negotiations—but for now, it’s primarily about ceasing fire.

Is this the 7-Year Peace Agreement of Daniel 9:27 (KJV)?

Daniel 9:27 (KJV):

“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…”

This verse is commonly interpreted by Bible prophecy students to refer to a 7-year peace covenant (“one week” symbolizing 7 years) that the Antichrist will confirm with Israel and “many” nations. Here’s how this current ceasefire compares:

This 2025 Ceasefire vs. Daniel’s Prophecy

Prophetic Criteria (Daniel 9:27)	2025 Israel-Iran Ceasefire
7-year agreement (“one week”)	No — it’s a temporary ceasefire, not 7 years
Confirmed by a global figure (“he”)	Brokered by Trump, but not with prophecy-level authority
With “many” (not just Israel and one nation)	Only involves Israel and Iran so far
Involves religious sacrifices / the Temple	No mention of rebuilding the temple or sacrifices
Broken halfway through with desecration	Not applicable yet — no temple to desecrate

Conclusion: Not Yet the Prophesied Covenant

This does not appear to be the Daniel 9:27 covenant. It:

• Is temporary, not for seven years.
• Lacks global or religious scope.
• Has no connection to the Third Temple, sacrifice, or Antichrist.

However, it could be a stepping stone—a political reset that paves the way for a more formal, deceptive peace deal later. Bible prophecy teaches that the Antichrist will come in under the banner of peace (Daniel 8:25) before revealing his true nature.

What to Watch For Next

If you’re watching for signs of the 7-year tribulation, look for:

• A formal, multi-national peace treaty involving Israel.
• Permission to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
• A charismatic world leader who brings “peace” but later turns against Israel.

More to come regarding the 7-year peace treaty. It was important to me to get this breaking news out to all of my followers who are patiently awaiting the 7-year peace agreement that will start the final 7-year count down clock to the returning of Jesus Christ.
