Everyone in the Body of Christ has their giftings and calling; but the time comes when the handwriting is on the wall; so to speak.
When mass delusion clearly is setting in and many are falling away and someone comes on the world scene declaring that they are indeed the one to bring about a peace treaty with Israel and other nations it is therefore the Lord Himself who will determine if any individual will succeed in that endeavor or be stopped at some point. We know that the Restrainer is going hold back certain things before the Rapture; but also that the man of sin will be revealed before the Lord comes back and it appears in the context in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that this may precede the actual Tribulation. Daniel 11:23 states And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. This verse would seem to indicate with other versions stating an alliance (New Living) or agreement (NIV) that indeed that comes immediately after the Daniel 9:27 covenant. This coming of the Antichrist Beast and False Prophet; of course align with the general false religious system of "Mystery Babylon" covered in detail in Revelation 17-18 as well as much of Jeremiah in particular in the O.T.
Since nothing the Lord does comes without warning from the Prophets ( Amos 3:7) as far as end times are concerned there is certainly a role in that type of "prophetic" ministry today. What we don't have the liberty to do is predict exact days of the Rapture; or events leading up to it. We should keep in mind that the Rapture may occur BEFORE that date whether weeks; months or longer that the Daniel 9:27 covenant is enacted. There is a strong scriptural precedent for the Feast of Trumpets being the time of the "last trump" signaling the Rapture ( 1 Cor. 15:52) but of course supernaturally a trumpet in heaven could sound anytime; not necessarily on a Jewish High Day.
