I. Overarching Theme: Trump’s Peacemaking as a Catalyst for End-Time Prophecy
The central theme of the source is the assertion that Donald Trump’s diplomatic efforts, particularly in the Middle East, are directly fulfilling biblical prophecies, specifically those found in Ezekiel 38 and 39. The author, “예레미야,” views Trump’s actions as a precursor to the “Gog and Magog” war and the “Rapture,” indicating that “the end times” are drawing near.
II. Key Actions and Policies Attributed to Trump:
The source highlights several of Trump’s actions, presenting them as swift and decisive steps towards peace, particularly in the Middle East:
- Israel-Gaza Ceasefire Initiative: Trump is depicted as urging Hamas to accept the ceasefire conditions proposed by Israel.
- Quote: “트럼프 “이스라엘, 가자 휴전 조건 동의…하마스도 수용하길”” (Trump: “Israel agrees to Gaza ceasefire conditions… Hamas should also accept them”)
- Iran Nuclear Negotiations: Trump is initiating discussions to resume nuclear negotiations with Iran, following a recent “devastating” attack by B2 bombers.
- Quote: “”美 다음주 이란과 핵협상 재개 논의…공습 이후 첫 회담“” (“US to discuss resuming nuclear talks with Iran next week… First meeting since airstrikes”)
- Dual Approach to Iran and Israel: A crucial and seemingly contradictory strategy is presented: Trump engages in nuclear talks with Iran while simultaneously offering military support to Israel.
- Quote: “트럼프가 이란과는 핵협상을 재개하면서, 이스라엘에겐 B2 스텔스 폭격기와 벙커버스터를 대여해주는 법안을 의회에 제출하였다라고 말하고 있다.” (Professor Sung Il-kwang, a Middle East expert in Korea, states that Trump is resuming nuclear negotiations with Iran while submitting a bill to Congress to lease B2 stealth bombers and bunker busters to Israel.)
- This dual approach is interpreted as a clear signal to Iran: “If [Trump] does not get the desired results from the nuclear negotiations with Iran, he is sending a signal that he can attack Iran’s nuclear facilities at any time through the B2 stealth bombers lent to Israel.”
- Russian-Ukrainian Conflict Mediation: Trump and Putin’s phone call suggests a push for a rapid ceasefire in Ukraine, though Putin is quoted as unwilling to abandon his goals.
- Quote: “푸틴·트럼프 통화…”빠른 우크라 휴전” “목표 포기 안해”(종합)” (Putin and Trump talk… “Quick Ukraine ceasefire” “Goals not abandoned” (Comprehensive))
- Global Peace Agenda: The author extends Trump’s peacemaking efforts beyond the Middle East, envisioning an end to the Ukraine war and the establishment of a peace system on the Korean Peninsula, leading to “world peace.”
III. The “Pax Americana” and the Fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:8:
The source argues that Trump’s actions will usher in a “temporary peaceful era (Pax Americana)” in the Middle East, particularly for Israel. This peace is seen as a direct fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:8:
- Quote: “에스겔 38장 8절에서 “여러날 후 곧 말년에 네가 명령을 받고 그 땅 곧 오래 황무하였던 이스라엘 산에 이르리니 그 땅 백성은 칼을 벗어나서 열국에서부터 모여 들어 오며 이방에서부터 나와서 다 평안히 거하는 중이라”고 예언하신 예언의 말씀이 이제 역사적으로 문자적으로 펼쳐지려 하고 있다는 뜻이다.” (This means that the prophecy in Ezekiel 38:8, which states, “After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them,” is now about to unfold historically and literally.)
The source highlights that Iran, with its proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi rebels) in a state of “annihilation,” is in no position to oppose Israel as long as Trump (the US) remains strong.
IV. The Paradox of Peace: A Precursor to the Gog and Magog War:
Despite the immediate prospect of peace, the source, aligning with the views of James Kaddis, an Arab-American pastor, posits that this very peace will trigger the “Gog and Magog” war described in Ezekiel 38 and 39.
- Quote (referencing James Kaddis): “Israel’s Ceasefire Is Moving Toward’s Ezekiel’s Peace!(이스라엘과 이란의 휴전이 에스겔서에서 예언하고 있는 평화를 향해 가져오고 있다!”라는 영상(아래)을 통해 트럼프가 가져오고 있는 중동(이스라엘)의 평화(겔 38:8)가 결국엔 에스겔 38장과 39장에서 예언하고 있는 곡과 마곡의 전쟁을 불러오게 될 것이라 주장하고 있다(블로거의 생각도 이와 다르지 않다).” (Through the video “Israel’s Ceasefire Is Moving Toward’s Ezekiel’s Peace!”, James Kaddis argues that the peace in the Middle East (Israel) brought by Trump (Ezekiel 38:8) will ultimately lead to the Gog and Magog war prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 (the blogger’s opinion is no different).)
This highlights a key paradoxical idea: temporary peace (Pax Americana) is not an end in itself but a necessary step towards the prophesied end-time conflict.
V. Eschatological Urgency and Call to Action:
The source concludes with a sense of urgency, suggesting that if these predictions are correct, “the time given to us may be shorter than we think.” It references other biblical passages (1 Thessalonians 5:3 and Romans 13:11-14) to underscore the imminence of the “Rapture” and the need for spiritual preparedness.
- Quote (1 Thessalonians 5:3): “저희가 평안하다, 안전하다 할 그 때에 잉태된 여자에게 해산 고통이 이름과 같이 멸망이 홀연히 저희에게 이르리니 결단코 피하지 못하리라.” (“When they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”)
- Quote (Romans 13:11-14): “또한 너희가 이 시기를 알거니와 자다가 깰 때가 벌써 되었으니 이는 이제 우리의 구원이 처음 믿을 때보다 가까웠음이니라. 밤이 깊고 낮이 가까왔으니 그러므로 우리가 어두움의 일을 벗고 빛의 갑옷을 입자. 낮에와 같이 단정히 행하고 방탕과 술취하지 말며 음란과 호색하지 말며 쟁투와 시기하지 말고, 오직 주 예수 그리스도로 옷입고 정욕을 위하여 육신의 일을 도모하지 말라.” (And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.)

VII. Overall Assessment:
The source presents a highly interpretative and theological perspective on current geopolitical events. It frames Trump’s actions as divinely orchestrated steps towards the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, particularly regarding the end times. While it cites factual events (e.g., ceasefire talks, nuclear negotiations), it interprets them through a specific eschatological lens. The main ideas revolve around the concept of a temporary “Pax Americana” leading directly to the prophesied Gog and Magog war, urging readers to recognize the imminence of the end times and prepare spiritually.
Recent Past (Leading up to current events):
- Israeli Attacks on Gaza: Israel conducted widespread attacks on Gaza.
- Iranian Air Strikes: Iran experienced air strikes, leading to its devastation by B2 bombers.

- US to Discuss Nuclear Negotiations with Iran: The US plans to discuss resuming nuclear negotiations with Iran next week, marking the first meeting since the air strikes on Iran.
- US Legislature Considers Lending B2 Bombers to Israel: Professor Sung Il-kwang, a Middle East expert in South Korea, states that Trump has submitted legislation to Congress to lend B2 stealth bombers and bunker busters to Israel.
- Trump’s Dual Strategy with Iran and Israel: Trump is sending a signal that if nuclear negotiations with Iran don’t yield desired results, the B2 stealth bombers lent to Israel could be used to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.
- Putin and Trump Discuss Ukraine Ceasefire: Putin and Trump held a phone call regarding a quick ceasefire in Ukraine, though the source notes Russia (implicitly) will not abandon its goals.
Consequences and Interpretations (as presented in the source):
- Iran’s Subordinate Position: Iran is currently in a position where it cannot confront Israel as long as Trump (the US) remains strong, regardless of its wishes.
- Weakening of Iranian Proxies: Iran’s proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi rebels, are described as being in a state of annihilation.
- Emergence of “Pax Americana” in the Middle East: Due to the US’s display of powerful force in the recent conflict, a period of temporary peace (Pax Americana) is expected to begin in Israel/the Middle East.
- Fulfillment of Ezekiel’s Prophecy (Ezekiel 38:8): This period of peace is seen as a historical and literal unfolding of the prophecy in Ezekiel 38:8, describing Israel dwelling peacefully after returning from exile.
- Prophetic Warning of Future Conflict (Gog and Magog): James Kaddis, an Arab-American pastor, argues that the peace brought by Trump in the Middle East will ultimately lead to the War of Gog and Magog as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39. The blogger shares this view.
- Broader Global Peace and End-Time Events: Trump’s efforts to bring peace to the Middle East, end the Ukraine war, and establish a peace system on the Korean Peninsula are seen as closely linked to end-time events (the Rapture and the War of Gog and Magog).
- Implication of Limited Time: If this prediction is correct, the time remaining is shorter than generally perceived.
