Israel and UAE Sign Historic Peace Deal

 This is kind of a big deal on the prophetic end of things.  Israel and the United Arab Emirates have signed a peace deal.  It's the first one that Israel has signed with an Arab nation in over 25 years.  And it would appear that USA (Trump) played a major role in brokering the deal.

Leaders in Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have agreed to normalize relations between the two countries and pledged to take a number of steps to strengthen diplomatic relations, including exchanging embassies and ambassadors.

The historic treaty is a result of negotiations brokered by President Donald Trump. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, concluded the peace negotiations in a phone call with the U.S. president on Thursday.

“HUGE breakthrough today! Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates!” Trump tweeted. During a press briefing after the agreement was announced, Trump said that the U.S. is in talks with other Middle Eastern nations to join the Israeli-UAE agreement.

The agreement is set to “unlock great potential in the region,” according to a joint-statement by the trio of nations. An official agreement is expected to be signed at a White House ceremony in the coming weeks.

“Delegations from Israel and the United Arab Emirates will meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements regarding investments, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit,” the statement said. “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.”

As part of the agreement, Israel has agreed to suspend declaring sovereignty over areas of the West Bank outlined in a January peace plan designed by the Trump administration. Instead, Israel will focus on “expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world.”

Of course Israel has always been God's timepiece when it comes to the Last Days.  We know that the Antichrist will CONFIRM a peace agreement between Israel and it's historical enemies. This makes some of us think that the peace agreements might be in place before the rapture of the church.  Once the rapture happens some of these agreements might fall into question.  Why?  Because the USA will most likely collapse at the rapture when millions of Americans go missing.  Maybe even President Trump!  This could certainly make the Muslim nations wonder if they shouldn't rescind their agreements with Israel. If you throw in the Ezekiel 38 war into the mix, one could see how maybe the Antichrist will show up and say, "Whoa!  Whoa!  Whoa!  Not so fast!"  If he then confirms the peace agreement this would start the final 7 years ticking until Christ returns to earth (with us) to set up his millennial Kingdom. 

The Third Temple will be built and halfway through this 7 year period, Antichrist will go into the Temple and declare himself to be God.  At this point the "Time of Jacob's trouble" will begin.  Jesus says that when the Jews see this they should run, because the Antichrist will start coming after them.

This scenario, if it happens this way, could then fit into what Jesus said, "When they are saying peace and safety, destruction will come upon them suddenly."
