News reports in recent weeks describe how Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan is moving into a second phase, centered on an international “Board of Peace” that he himself will chair. The United Nations Security Council has already endorsed the broader ceasefire framework between Israel and Hamas, including this transitional authority and an international stabilization force for Gaza. 

According to open sources, the Board of Peace is envisioned as a UN-mandated transitional administration for Gaza that will oversee reconstruction and economic recovery after the war. It will be chaired by Trump and composed of roughly ten Arab and international leaders, working alongside a committee of Palestinian technocrats who handle day-to-day governance.    There has been controversy over who will sit on this board—Tony Blair, for example, was floated and then reportedly dropped after objections from Arab and Muslim nations. 

In addition, U.S. and Israeli officials have signaled that Trump is preparing to name the nations that will staff the security force and participate in this governing structure as phase two of the plan is declared.    That is likely what many prophecy-watchers are referring to when they talk about “Trump selecting 10 nations for Gaza.”

So how do we think about all this in light of biblical prophecy and the apocalypse?

Ten Nations and the Prophetic Imagination

Students of prophecy immediately hear “ten nations” and think of Daniel and Revelation:

• Daniel 2 – Nebuchadnezzar’s statue with ten toes, part iron and part clay (Dan. 2:41–43).
• Daniel 7 – The fourth beast with ten horns, out of which another “little horn” arises (Dan. 7:7–8, 23–24).
• Revelation 13 & 17 – A beast with ten horns and ten kings who “receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast” (Rev. 17:12–13).

Many interpreters see these ten toes / ten horns as symbolizing a final confederation of nations or rulers that will cooperate with the Antichrist in the last days. The details are debated, but the basic picture is clear: a coalition of worldly powers, united for a season, ultimately opposed to God and His Christ.

When people hear that a world leader is assembling a group of about ten nations or leaders to administer a territory tied to Israel and the Palestinian question, it naturally triggers prophetic radar. Add to that the biblical warnings of counterfeit peace—“When they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them” (1 Thess. 5:3)—and many believers start asking whether this is the beginning of the final prophetic configuration.

Similarities: Why This Feels Apocalyptic

There are some real parallels that make this moment feel “end-times flavored”:

1. International control over a key biblical hotspot
    Gaza, Israel, and the broader land of promise sit at the heart of biblical history and end-times passages (Zechariah 12–14; Luke 21:20–24). An international board, backed by a UN Security Council resolution, now seeks to administer part of that territory in the name of peace and security.  
2. A small group of powerful rulers shaping the future
    A board of roughly ten leaders, plus a security force drawn from selected nations, resembles—in a faint way—the ten-king structure in Daniel and Revelation, where a limited number of rulers wield outsized global influence. (Rev. 17:12–13).
3. Language of peace, rebuilding, and a “new order”
    The Gaza plan is not just a ceasefire. It aims to redesign Gaza’s governance and economy, rebuild the territory, and tie it into broader regional and global projects.    That resonates with prophetic pictures of a coming global order that promises peace and prosperity while actually moving humanity toward a climactic confrontation with God.
4. Moral and spiritual confusion
    Even as leaders talk peace, reports continue of suffering civilians, contested borders, and accusations of injustice from all sides.    The Bible says in the last days deception will increase, nations will rage, and many hearts will fail for fear (Matt. 24:4–12; Luke 21:26).

From a prophetic lens, you can say: this looks like a rehearsal, or at least a preview, of the kind of arrangements Scripture describes at the end of the age.

Differences: Why This Is 

Not a Clear Fulfillment

But we must be just as clear about the differences:

1. The Bible does not mention Gaza boards, Trump, or the UN
    Scripture never names this specific peace plan, this particular board, or today’s leaders. To say “this is the ten-nation confederation of Daniel and Revelation” goes beyond what the Bible actually says.
2. The structure is still fluid and limited
    The Board of Peace has a two-year mandate, is under UN authority, and is focused on one territory, not global governance.    The prophetic ten-king system seems to be world-spanning and tightly linked to the final Antichrist, not simply to a temporary transitional body.
3. The member nations are not yet announced
    As of now, Trump has not publicly named all the nations or leaders who will join this board or staff the security force.    We’re speculating about “ten nations” from early reports, not from a finalized list.
4. We are forbidden to pin the Antichrist label on real individuals
    Christians throughout history have wrongly identified emperors, popes, prime ministers, and presidents as the Antichrist. The result has usually been embarrassment and disillusionment. Scripture calls us to discern times and spirits (1 John 4:1), but not to label today’s leaders as the Beast of Revelation by name.

So a wise approach is this:

See it as a potential foreshadowing, not a confirmed fulfillment.

It fits the pattern of how end-time coalitions might someday look—international, elite, promising peace—without giving us license to say, “This is definitely it.”

How Should Believers Respond?

1. Watch and pray, not panic and speculate
    Jesus told us, “When you see these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). That is a call to hopeful vigilance, not fearful obsession.
2. Care about justice and mercy, not just maps and headlines
    Whatever you think of the plan, there are real people—Israelis and Palestinians—who have lost homes, loved ones, and livelihoods. God cares about the oppressed, the refugee, the widow, and the orphan (Ps. 82:3–4; Jas. 1:27). Our response must include prayer, compassion, and a cry for justice, not just prophetic curiosity.
3. Let prophecy fuel holiness, not argument
    Peter says that because the day of the Lord is coming, we should be people of holy conduct and godliness (2 Pet. 3:10–12). The point of prophecy is not to win debates, but to wake up the church to purity, evangelism, and endurance.
4. Remember the real end of the story
    However the details of Trump’s Gaza board, the UN, or ten nations unfold, Revelation ends with this:
   • The Lamb wins (Rev. 17:14).
   • Babylon falls (Rev. 18).
   • Jesus returns, reigns, and makes all things new (Rev. 19–22).

The headlines may make it feel like world powers are writing the script of history—but behind every summit, board, and resolution, God is still on the throne. He is moving all things toward the day when “the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ” (Rev. 11:15).

So yes, pay attention to Trump’s selection of nations for Gaza. Watch what happens with the Board of Peace. Compare it thoughtfully with Daniel and Revelation. But keep your eyes, above all, on Jesus—the true Prince of Peace, whose kingdom will outlast every board, government, and empire of this age.
