(Worthy News) –
Following the recent announcement that Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have agreed to normalize relations, best-selling author and Middle East expert Joel Rosenberg told CBN News the move may have prophetic Biblical significance.

Some nations welcomed the news of the peace agreement, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said only good things would come of it. “We’re fighting Iran and the radicals who are trying to overthrow our order in the Middle East… So, this is good for peace, good for security, good for prosperity. I think it’s good for the United States and good for Israel,” Netanyahu told Fox News. Others have condemned the decision including, predictably, the Palestinian Authority and Iran. “The exact suspects that you would expect to hate this deal, hate this deal,” Rosenberg noted in speaking with CBN News.

However, among those condemning the agreement is Turkey, and Rosenberg says this may be very telling. “Why is that interesting? Because Turkey has a relationship [with Israel]. They have full normalization with us here in Israel. So, the idea that the would-be ‘sultan’ of Turkey is condemning a Muslim state for creating a full normalization with Israel that he already has, it’s ridiculous and it’s hypocritical,” Rosenberg explained. “It’s indicative of the fact that Erdogan is taking his country out of the western moderate camp, into the Iranian, Islamism more radical camp. And that’s a long term very serious problem,” Rosenberg continued. 

Concerning the possible prophetic significance of what has unfolded, Rosenberg explained that the Bible described a group of nations listed as Gomer, Put, Cush, Persia, Togarmah, Gog and Magog, which all come against Israel at some point in the future. “What we watch in the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39, which is known as the ‘eschatological’ future war of Gog and Magog, is the Arab states being very calm and quiet towards Israel. Israel [is] reconstructed, peaceful, prosperous, calm, secure and then a Russian-Iranian-Turkish alliance forming against Israel,” Rosenberg said.

“Now, I’m not saying the war with Gog and Magog is imminent,” Rosenberg added. “I’m saying that the trend lines of peace in the Middle East, with a Russian-Iranian-Turkish axis – this is exactly where we are heading. This is the trajectory, and this is something that should cause all Christians to watch carefully and continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”
