Desperate and Searching :: By Daymond Duck

Andy C

Well-known
On May 15, 2025, Harbingers Daily posted an article by Dean Dwyer, long-time Pastor and President of Eiser Street Baptist Church in Queensland, Australia.

Here is part of what Dwyer wrote:

>It seems that nearly everywhere you turn, people are talking about peace.

>On every continent and in nearly every country, leaders are holding out hope that somebody will be able to advance the cause of peace throughout the world. Many are desperate for a resolution to the problems plaguing the world, and we know that desperate and spiritually blind people often lack sufficient discernment to make good decisions. There is already a Prince of Peace, but since most of the world has rejected Him, a counterfeit will soon arrive. The world’s longing for peace and safety will play into the hands of the Antichrist, who will convince the world that only he can provide the lasting peace and security that has long been desired.

>Peace is on the lips of many at present, and what is interesting to note is that the UN has scheduled a high-level conference on the Two-State solution to take place from June 2-4, 2025, in New York. So that nobody is left with any doubts as to the intention of the summit, it is being referred to as the “Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and implementation of the Two-State solution.” As this date approaches, expect to hear more and more about “peace.” Whether or not anything tangible will come out of the summit remains to be seen. But it reminds us that as the world desperately searches for peace, it will soon welcome a person who will ultimately bring it anything but.

Dwyer definitely has a good knowledge of the Scriptures and an understanding of the current political situation.

In the days of the prophet Joel, God warned that He would deal with the nations because they had scattered His people and divided His land (Joel 3:2).

And in the days of the prophet Daniel, God warned that a coming leader (the Antichrist) would confirm (strengthen) a worthless covenant with many for peace in the Middle East (Dan. 9:27).

Starting on May 13, 2025, Pres. Trump:

  • Visited the Middle East and discussed peace (normalization agreements) between several Arab nations and Israel.
  • Met with the new president of Syria and discussed peace with Israel.
  • Met with an official of Iran and discussed an agreement to peacefully settle the controversy over Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons.
Pres. Trump has been clear that he prefers to be a Pres. of peace instead of a Pres. of war.
