Seven-year Peace Deal at September UN Summit

Those of us who have studied eschatology over the years know that there is a popular interpretation of biblical prophecy, which maintains that there will be a seven-year peace treaty during the Great Tribulation, a seven-year period known also as Daniel's 70th week (Dan 9:27). Interestingly, plans are in place for a seven-year peace treaty to be signed at the UN summit the week of September 23rd, which happens to coincide with the Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture on the 23rd or 24th.

A simple Google search online yielded the following results from generative AI:

Based on reports from early to mid-2025, mediators proposed a seven-year ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza, which Hamas accepted, but Israel rejected.

Mediator-proposed seven-year truce (April 2025)
The proposal: Mediators from Egypt and Qatar presented a plan that included a seven-year truce, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, and a restructuring of Gaza's governance.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September 2025. In early September 2025, Macron announced that he would co-chair a "two-state solution conference" in New York with Mohammad Bin Salman (Crown Price of Saudi Arabia) on September 22. The goal is to rally the broadest international support possible for the two-state solution.

Support from allies: Following France's announcement, other Western countries, including Belgium, Canada, and the United Kingdom, indicated plans to also recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly. In fact, there are already enough UN Member nations that have have said they will support the creation of a Palestinian state, so that it will definitely be approved, despite any veto from the United States. So essentially it is a done deal.

The above information was mostly gleaned from generative AI and is a direct quote. I think it is a very interesting coincidence that this is set to happen the week of September 23rd, when thousands of saints around the world, who are eagerly awaiting the Lord's return, are hoping to be caught up to heaven in the rapture, after which the seven-year Great Tribulation would begin.

The seven-year peace treaty is the event that initiates the seven-year Tribulation and signals the emergence of the man of lawlessness (antichrist). For this will not bring true peace, but a false peace, as it says in Scripture, "When they say, 'Peace and security,' then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman, and they will not escape." Here are the comments being made by various world leaders right now in that context:

Netanyahu (Israel): "Our goal is PEACE AND SECURITY." 

Macron (UN): “Together, let us make this Conference on the Two-State Solution a decisive turning point for PEACE AND SECURITY for all in the region.” 

Guterres (UN): "The only realistic, just, and sustainable solution is Two States -- Israel and Palestine -- living side-by-side in PEACE AND SECURITY, with Jerusalem as the capital of both." 

Meanwhile, President Trump -- the "last Trump" -- who believes he deserves a Nobel Peace prize for bringing peace to so many countries during his second term, will address the UN General Assembly on September 23rd. He recently told reporters at the Oval Office, “I think within the next two to three weeks, you're going to have a pretty good, conclusive ending” to the Gaza war. He has forcefully told Prime Minister Netanyahu to end it. In fact, Netanyahu quoted Trump as saying to him, “Go in with full force and finish it [the war].” Perhaps Trump knows something we don't know. Perhaps he knows that a peace treaty is going to be signed at the UN summit to create a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine to coexist in the land, and perhaps he wants Israel to do whatever they have to do before the summit to finish up their war against the Palestinians. 

It seems that Trump is going to build upon the Abraham Accord that was signed during his first term, which normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations. Is he planning on adding Palestine to that Accord? Could the upcoming, seven-year peace treaty to be signed at the UN summit this month give Israel freedom to build their third temple without interference in exchange for the two-state solution? We shall see.

Scriptures
The rapture is taught in Scripture. Here are just a few of the verses that speak about this time when God will send His angels to "catch away" or "snatch up" (Greek, harpazo) the saints:

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1Th 4:16-17)

"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." (1Co 15:51-53)

After the rapture comes an hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth (Rev 3:10). This hour of trial is known as the Great Tribulation, which is a seven year period.

Jesus said, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." (Mat 24:21-22; cf. Dan 12:1)

"He [antichrist] will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." (Dan 9:27)

"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." (1Th 5:3).

Closing Words
I recommend that you please take all of this to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to confirm to you whether or not it means the rapture will occur in September 2025. Let's not be like the Sadducees and Pharisees, whom Jesus criticized as hypocrites, because they could not interpret the signs of the times, even though they could discern weather patterns in the sky (Mt 16:3; Luke 12:56).

We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these are certainly significant events converging together that should put us all on high alert for the rapture this September. I am not saying the rapture will occur in September, although I think the probability is extremely high that He will do so. In fact, I think the chances of the rapture not occurring this year are approaching zero. I sense in my spirit, as most of us do, that the time of the rapture is very near, and certainly hope it happens this fall.

Whether you believe it or not, one thing is for sure -- Jesus is coming back soonYou need to get your life right with Jesus right now. Give your life to Jesus before the rapture happens and before the Great Tribulation begins. Repent and return to the Lord with fasting and prayer, seeking His face with all your heart, proving your repentance by your deeds.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

City in the Sky

In my previous blog, called The Unfolding End Time Events (see here),  I reposted the abbreviated sequence of end time events that the Lord gave to Oden Hetrick.  This highly favored servant of the Lord, who had visited heaven over eighty times during his earthly pilgrimage, published his book City in the Sky, on 7-7-77.

This book is now out of print. But you can still read the first part of the book entitled “Inside the Gates of Heaven” on the official Oden Hetrick website.  Or you can order the complete book with the ‘Order of Events’ here.
 
God's City in the Sky Will Appear Visibly
I want to highlight one particular part of the book, and that's the part where he wrote about God's City in the Sky coming down out of heaven to earth.

Brother Hetrick states, “Science tells us about God's physical creation. The Bible describes God's spiritual creation. God has physical things like stars, suns, planets, clouds, trees and flesh of men and animals.  These are scientifically and physically understood. God also has spiritual things, like the Holy City, the book of life, the tree of life, the river of life, mansions, angels, departed saints, salvation and souls of men.  These things can only be believed and understood and seen by the help of the Spirit of God. There are, however, some spiritual things which are visible to mortals.  The Bible is a spiritual book, saints on earth are spiritual people, and someday soon the spiritual city of God will appear in the sky visible to all people on earth.”

Two Suns?
Like I said in a June 2010 article, called Light of the World (see here), "Jesus Christ is referred to in Scripture as the Sun of Righteousness. The prophet Malachi wrote: 'For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,' says the LORD of hosts, 'so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.' (Mal 4:1-2). The word for sun in this passage is the Hebrew word , שׁמשׁ, 'shemesh' (sheh'-mesh). It comes from an unused root meaning to be brilliant; the sun. So while the expression 'Sun of Righteousness' sounds like the English expression 'Son of Righteousness,' this is not the case in the original Hebrew language the Scripture was written in. This Hebrew word shemesh is the same word used for the actual sun in our sky, which is the closest star to the earth. But the Scripture does not confuse God with the sun, and never does it teach that the sun is God or that we should worship the sun. 'For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.' (Psa 84:11)"

When the Lord Jesus comes back very soon in all His glory, He will come as the Sun of Righteousness.  For all the arrogant and every evildoer, that day will burn like a furnace, which will set them ablaze.  But for those who fear His name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing. When he comes, they will skip like calves.

Location and Descent of the Second Sun
So where is the Holy City located?  Brother Hetrick states: “THE HOLY CITY IS LOCATED NORTH OF OUR SUN.”

He explains how the City of God will descend to earth: “The City of God will come down from the spiritual heavens to the second heaven and go into orbit with our sun.  To those on earth the Holy City will be another sun.”

Photos and Videos of Two Suns in 2012
I happened to see this video, uploaded to Youtube by juniorkitty11, which I'd like to share with you. It was recorded on May 24, 2012. Please disregard the captions in the video.



I am not sure exactly what the object is that is recorded in this video above. But whatever it is, I believe it is a sign of Jesus Christ coming.  I don't know what it is, but here are some other videos you might want to check out.

To see the videos below, from which the following photos were captured, please click or tap the link where you see the word "video" 3 below.

Video 2 - Two Suns Arise - Some of the other photos shown in this video (which is no longer available) appear as though they could be legitimate. Notice at 4:15, there is a photo of a bright, square object over an Antarctic observation station (photo below).

Same video frame as above with shape added for emphasis












 
Video 3 - The Sun Has a Friend -I think this is the best video.  It shows a beautiful sunrise with two suns.  Notice at 9:24 in this video that the bright object which appears beneath the sun is square shaped.  It's very interesting, because the City of God is foursquare -- a cube -- 1,400 miles high, and just as deep and wide.

Photos of Two Suns
These are some of the most amazing photos I have seen, which are cause for pause and wonder.  These are all from video 2, "Two Suns Arise," by HybridSpeciesVids

























First the Darkness Must Come
One reason I am not convinced that these sightings are the actual Holy City is that the three days of darkness must first come upon the whole earth before the appearing of the Lord and His City in the Sky.  Brother Hetrick states: "THICK DARKNESS (both physical and spiritual) COVERS THE EARTH BEFORE THE LORD APPEARS." This will occur immediately before the rapture and just before the Great Tribulation begins.  He warns, "This will be a very trying time for about 3 days, hold on to your faith." And then he makes the following comments with these scripture references:

"Darkness will cover the earth, and gross darkness the people." Isa.60:2

"Sun darkened, moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord." Joel 2:31 & Acts 2:20

"The light is darkened in the heavens." Isa.5:30

"Through the Lord's wrath the land is darkened." Isa.9:19

"Howl, for the day of the Lord is at hand, it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty." Isa.13:6

"The sun shall be darkened and the moon will not shine." Isa.13:10

"The earth shall mourn and the heavens above be black." Jer.4:28

"The day of the Lord is gloominess, clouds, thick darkness, then morning."  Selah Joel 2:1-2

"The day of the Lord is near; sun, moon and stars will be darkened." Joel 3:14-15

"It had become dark and Jesus had not yet come (to his disciples)." John 6:17

"The night comes when no man can work." John 9:4 (see Isa.50:3  Mat.24:29  Mrk.13:24  Rev.6:12)

Hidden By Darkness the Holy City Enters Our Solar System
Brother Hetrick states: "Hidden by darkness, the Holy City containing God and Jesus on the throne and all the departed saints, enters our solar system."  Then he makes the following comments on these verses, among others:

"He holds back the face (presence) of His throne. (by darkness covering the earth)" Job 26:9

"He came down, darkness was under His feet, darkness was His secret place, thick clouds of the skies were around Him." Psalm 18:9-11

"Clouds and darkness are about Him." Psa. 97:2

Earth Out of Orbit
Brother Hetrick states: "AS THE CITY OF GOD APPROACHES UNSEEN, (earth is covered with dark clouds) THE EARTH AND ITS SKY (and all the planets) SHAKE AND MOVE OUT OF PLACE:  STARS (meteorites) FALL TO EARTH."

His Appearing
Brother Hetrick states: "Sudden appearance --- the Holy City, which contains God and Jesus on the throne and all the departed saints, suddenly dispels the darkness and appears in the sky over Israel."  

God's Throne is Like a Fiery Flame
Brother Hetrick states: "When the throne of God appears it is like a fiery flame."  And he cites the following Scriptures:

Our God shall come...a fire shall devour before Him. Psalm 50:3

Righteousness and salvation go forth as a bright burning lamp. Isaiah 62:1

His throne is like fiery flame, a fiery stream went forth before Him. Daniel 7:9-10

Who shall stand when He appears for He is like a refiner's fire. Mal 3:2

Jesus revealed in flaming fire. 2 Thes. 1:7-8

Our God is a consuming fire. (The fire that consumes fire) Heb.12:29

Putting it All Together
I cannot confirm what's in all these photos and videos.  I cannot say for sure what this bright object is that all these people have been seeing.  I can only speculate.  It seems to be a very large, very bright, celestial body that sometimes appears to be cube-shaped and is now within our solar system. It's interesting to consider what it could be.

I asked a professional photographer to examine these photos and videos for possible tampering.  He specializes in creating special effects with photoshop, and after he looked at this blog, he said, "I don't think that there is any photoshopping. It's a natural shot, really amazing. I don't know how this phenomenon happened but it's really indescribable."

In Oden Hetrick's book, City in the Sky, he explains that before we see the Holy City appearing in our sky with Jesus on the throne, there must first be the capture of Jerusalem, and then worldwide darkness for 3 days. As the Holy City approaches the earth, it will actually move our planet out of its current orbit.

One thing I do know for sure is this -- Jesus Christ is coming back very soon! I know this because my spirit bears witness to it, as do the spirits of many other disciples. And because He told us that these signs in the sun and sky would clearly point to His soon return, along with the many other signs of the times I've been reporting in my other posts on this blog. 

His coming is near, even at the door.  "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door." (Mat 24:32-33)

In fact, Jesus Christ says, "I'm beyond the door!"  In November 2009, the Lord Jesus said to Angelica Zambrano in her visit to heaven, "I am no longer at the door; I am beyond the door.  I will come soon; My coming is near.  My people have left Me and gone back to worldly things...Tell My people to return to the old paths."

Jesus said to her, "I will come for a holy people and I will come soon for My church."  But at the time she recorded that November 2009 heavenly visitation of hers, she said the Lord had spoken to her again after she returned to her body on earth.  She said, "Two weeks ago the Lord told me, "Daughter, I take pleasure in what you are doing, that you are fulfilling what I have given you, but do not tell My people that I am coming soon.  Tell My people that I am coming right away." Again the Lord said, "Tell My people that I am coming right away and that I am coming for a holy people.  Tell My people that only the holy ones, only the holy ones will see Me!...And do not be silent: Keep on declaring what I have told you."

If you already know the Lord Jesus, you need to be seeking Him like never before, hunting for sin in your life, and making sure you are right with Him.  Repent of all known sin in your life, get baptized with His Holy Spirit and fire, and return to the old paths.  Daily ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your robe of every filthy stain, and press out all the wrinkles. Get busy preaching to others like your family and friends to repent and call on the name of Jesus Christ.

If you haven't read has Woman Has Vision of New Jerusalem - Jesus Coming Soon! or Trumpets Heard Around the World, I'd like to encourage you to read those next.
