Trump’s Support for Israel and His Comparisons to Cyrus the Great; King Herod

 Introduction

The idea that former U.S. President Donald Trump could play a role in the rebuilding of the Third Temple is a topic of speculation among religious scholars, theologians, and political analysts. His pro-Israel policies, including the 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the 2020 Abraham Accords, have led some to draw parallels between him and biblical figures like Cyrus the Great and King Herod.

This discussion examines:
✅ Trump’s historical and prophetic comparisons
✅ The necessity of Middle East peace for the Third Temple
✅ Current geopolitical developments that could pave the way
✅ The biblical significance of these events

Isaiah 46:10 – "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."

This verse reminds us that God’s sovereign plan unfolds through historical events, even when world leaders make decisions that align with prophecy.

1. Trump’s Support for Israel and His Comparisons to Cyrus the Great

Trump’s Pro-Israel Policies

  • 2017: Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
  • 2018: Moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
  • 2020: Brokered the Abraham Accords, normalizing Israel’s relations with Arab nations.

Many evangelicals and Jewish leaders saw these actions as divinely inspired, similar to Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who allowed the Jews to return from Babylonian exile and rebuild the Second Temple in 516 BC.

Isaiah 45:1 – "Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him..."

This prophecy was written 150 years before Cyrus was born, showing how God can use secular rulers to fulfill divine purposes.

The Temple Coin and the Cyrus-Trump Comparison

  • In 2018, Israeli groups minted a "Temple Coin" featuring Trump’s image alongside King Cyrus, reinforcing the idea that Trump could play a role in the Third Temple.
  • Rabbi Yosef Berger and other religious leaders suggested that Trump’s actions were part of divine providence.

2 Chronicles 36:23 – "Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, ‘All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem...’"

This verse suggests that God calls certain leaders to facilitate the rebuilding of His house.

2. Speculation on Trump’s Role in Overseeing a Peace Plan for the Third Temple

The Abraham Accords and Temple Mount Access

  • Trump’s Abraham Accords normalized Israel’s relations with UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.
  • Some analysts believe a future peace agreement could include Jewish access to the Temple Mount, which is currently controlled by the Jordanian Waqf.

Daniel 9:27 – "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week..."

Some believe that this prophecy refers to a Middle East peace deal, possibly one that includes the rebuilding of the Third Temple.

Could Trump Pave the Way for the Antichrist?

  • While Trump is not seen as the Antichrist, some believe his policies could set the stage for a future leader (Antichrist) who enforces a peace treaty.
  • The Third Temple must exist for the Abomination of Desolation to occur (Matthew 24:15).

2 Thessalonians 2:4 – "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

This suggests that the Antichrist will eventually stand in the Third Temple, meaning the temple must first be built.

3. Historical Comparisons: Trump and King Herod

King Herod’s Role in the Second Temple

  • Herod the Great (73-4 BC) renovated and expanded the Second Temple to win Jewish favor.
  • Some see Trump’s pro-Israel policies as a modern parallel, where political prestige and legacy may drive his involvement in temple-related efforts.

Matthew 24:1-2 – "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, ‘See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.’"

While Herod’s Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, many believe that the Third Temple must be built before the Messiah’s return.

4. Middle East Peace as a Prerequisite for the Third Temple

The Role of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement

  • The Temple Mount is one of the most contested sites in the world.
  • For the Third Temple to be built, there must be a political shift allowing Jewish worship on the site.

Joel 3:2 – "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land."

Some believe that dividing Israel for peace could accelerate end-time prophecies.

5. Current Geopolitical Developments and Their Prophetic Implications

1. Elimination of Opposition to Peace

  • The deaths of key Hamas and Hezbollah leaders have weakened resistance to peace negotiations.
  • Some analysts believe this could create opportunities for new agreements on the Temple Mount.

Zechariah 12:3 – "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."

This prophecy shows that Jerusalem will always be a focal point of global conflict.

2. Saudi Arabia’s Role in Downplaying Jerusalem’s Significance

  • Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) may prioritize Mecca and Medina over Jerusalem.
  • If Saudi Arabia shifts focus, it could make Jewish access to the Temple Mount more feasible.

3. UN and Global Push for Peace

  • The United Nations and global alliances are pressuring for a Middle East peace deal.
  • If such a plan includes Jewish prayer rights, it could open the door for Third Temple construction.

Conclusion: Are We Moving Toward the Third Temple?

This discussion presents a complex narrative combining biblical prophecy, political strategy, and Trump’s legacy.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Trump is likened to Cyrus and Herod for his pro-Israel policies.
✅ A peace deal is necessary for the Third Temple, and Trump’s past efforts may lay the groundwork.
✅ The removal of militant opposition and Saudi Arabia’s shifting stance could make Temple Mount agreements possible.
✅ If global powers unite on a peace plan, the Third Temple or Jewish prayer rights could be approved.

Luke 21:28 – "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

Are we witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy? The convergence of geopolitics and biblical signs suggests we may be closer than ever before. ✝️

The Call to Repentance: The Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Bible is clear: Now is the time to repent and turn to Christ!

Acts 17:30-31 (KJV) – "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."

Do You Know Jesus?

1️⃣ We are all sinners – "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
2️⃣ The wages of sin is death – "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
3️⃣ Jesus paid the price – "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
4️⃣ Salvation is through faith in Christ alone – "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)

🔥 Jesus is the only way!

John 14:6 (KJV) – "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
