Prophecy Fulfilled? Joel Rosenberg Lays Out the Biblical Meaning Behind the Israel-UAE Peace Deal Read Transcript


- [Chris] On Sunday,Israeli Prime Minister

Benjamin Netanyahu, saw only good results

from the historic agreement.

- Peace is a good thing, andthis peace unites moderate--

Two of the most advancedeconomies in the world,

Israel and the United Arab Emirates,

and two of the most moderate.

We're fighting Iran and the radicals

who are trying tooverthrow the entire order

in the Middle East, subjugate peoples,

propagate terrorism, sothis is good for peace,

good for security, good for prosperity.

I think it's good for the United States

and good for Israel.

- But not everyone in the region agrees.

Iran flat out condemned it.

The Palestinian Authoritycalled the UAE traitors,

and President Erdoganthreatened to break off

diplomatic relations withthe United Arab Emirates.

- Exact suspects that youwould expect to hate this deal

hate this deal.

- [Chris] Best-selling authorand Middle East expert,

Joel Rosenberg, tells CBN News

Turkey's reaction to thepeace deal is revealing.

- Why is that interesting?

Because Turkey has a relationship.

They have full normalizationwith us here in Israel,

so the idea that thewould-be sultan of Turkey

is condemning a Muslim state

for creating a fullnormalization with Israel

that he already has, it's ridiculous

and it's hypocritical, but it's indicative

of the fact that Erdoganis taking his country

out of the Western moderate camp

into the Iranian, Islamist,more radical camp,

and that's a long-term,very serious problem.

- [Chris] Rosenberg alsobelieves this Abraham Accord

has prophetic undertones.

- We watch in the Book ofEzekiel, Chapters 38, 39,

what's known as theeschatological future war

of Gog and Magog, is theArab states being very calm

and quiet towards Israel,Israel reconstructed,

peaceful, prosperous, calm, secure,

and then aRussian/Iranian/Turkish alliance

forming against Israel.

- [Chris] The Bible talks abouta confederation of nations,

including Put, Cush, Persia,

Magog-Gomer, and Tubal,coming against Israel.

- Now, I'm not sayingthe war of Gog and Magog

is imminent.

I'm saying it's the trend lines

of peace in the Middle East

with a Russian/Iranian/Turkish axis.

This is exactly where we're heading.

This is the trajectory,

and it's something thatshould cause all Christians

to watch carefully,and to continue to pray

for the peace of Jerusalem.

- [Chris] President Erdoganand Iran both have their sights

set on Jerusalem.

Erdogan said recently he wants to liberate

the Al-Aqsa Mosque, andIran wants to conquer

the Holy City.

Chris Mitchell, CBN News, Jerusalem.
