In a move that no one ever expected to happen, President Trump announced that the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip, shocking the world and bringing hope to the Israelis.
Now, prophetic voice rabbi Jason Sobel shared with Charisma Media how Trump’s decision could directly relate to a biblical prophecy written thousands of years ago.

“…in Zephaniah 2:4 [it reads]: ‘For Gaza will be abandoned. Ashkelon will be a wasteland,'” Sobel says. “He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left. The land by the sea will become pastures, having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks. The land will belong to the remnant of the people Judah, where they will find pasture.'”
Sobel points out the uncanny comparison between this Scripture and ultimately what it is that Trump plans on doing.
“Gaza abandoned. That’s basically what Trump is saying that the Palestinians need to abandon Gaza; it’s not safe,” he says. “I can’t tell you with 100% certainty that this prophecy is being fulfilled in this way, but it’s certainly something that we need to keep our eyes on.”
Sobel further notes that the war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39 can only happen under a specific condition.
“The war of Gog and Magog [in] Ezekiel 38 and 39 only comes while Israel is living securely in the land, in cities with no walls. I would say that has never existed…in history or in the modern state of Israel, even in the modern state of Israel.”
Sobel also points to the prophetic instance of cyclical Torah readings, which have been connected to major events in history. The Torah reading for this week in itself has an interesting connection to what took place when Trump made his announcement.
“This week’s Torah portion is talking about the Philistines. The Palestinians call themselves the Philistines,” Sobel says.
