This week, it was announced that the Trump administration has helped to foster a treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, an Arab Sunni Islamic nation located in the Persian Gulf area. This is a very significant historical development that has incredible prophetic implications. It is reported that these two nations have verbally agreed to “full normalization of relations.” The statement from the White House says these two nations will meet in the coming weeks to “sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit. …Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East’s most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations” (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-israel-uae-peace-agreement). To make this happen, the Israeli government has agreed to postpone declaring its sovereignty over areas of the West Bank that are a part of President Trump’s Vision for Peace.
It is believed that this plan, called “Abraham Accord,” will open up avenues to additional peace treaties between Israel and other Arab Islamic nations in the Middle East. All of this is very significant because the Bible teaches that it will be a false peace treaty with Israel that will begin the Tribulation Period (Daniel 9:27). What do we know about that future treaty? It will be a treaty between secular Israeli leaders and enemies that really want to plot her destruction (Isaiah 28:14-22). It will focus upon dividing the Promised Land “for [economic] gain” (Daniel 11:39). This treaty will lead to Armageddon because God says they have “parted my land” (Joel 3:2).
In light of all of this, it is apparent that the stage is being set for this false peace treaty. The conditions in the Middle East are ripe for this agreement. Israel is desperate for peace and security. The entire region, including Israel, is suffering economically due to the impact of COVID-19. The Sunni Arabs view cooperation with Israel as a path to economic stability. Many of these Arab Muslims recognize that Israel is the only regional military power that can deal with the threat of Iran (the leading Shiite nation), who considers the Sunni Arabs as their enemies. Also, Iran is not an Arab, but Persian nation. Therefore, many of the Sunni Arab nations in the region, for the first time in history, are looking to Israel with favor. In reality, this is being driven by selfish motives. One needs to ask, what will happen when Iran and her allies are defeated in the Gog and Magog invasion of Israel? With absence of the Iranian threat in the region, will the Sunni Arabs consequently break their treaty with Israel? All of this seems to fit what we know about the coming false peace treaty that will begin the Tribulation Period.
In light of all of this, get ready for the shout that will take us out!
