Sign of the End Times: Bible Prophecies Continue with Newest Middle East Alliance

With the weakening of American influence across the world, one key player is stepping up to form alliances that continue to push forward the end times prophecies of the Bible: China.

Working to establish stability in the region, China has helped broker a deal to re-establish a diplomatic relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the two largest powers in the Middle East.

This is a monumental win for China and Iran, as it diminishes the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords and helps solidify Chinese influence among the Middle East’s power players.

It is being reported by Iran that the Saudi government has also extended an invitation to China for a state visit, though no details of such a trip have been revealed.

Talking to Fox News Digital, Middle East expert and senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Behnam Ben Taleblu shared who are the winners in this deal:

“The Chinese are keen to actually make this look like a zero-sum—the Chinese win, America loses,” Taleblu says. “They want to have the impact of this agreement do things for them in the policy space.

“That means the slow erosion of the U.S. force posture in the region, the slow erosion of the U.S.-led order in the region,” he added.

Following the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, there has been a power vacuum and lack of leadership that saw instability surge throughout the region.

Now, China is stepping in to offer such stability to its two largest trade partners in the region.

There are two stark losers in the formation of the deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia: Israel and the U.S.

“Iran is trying … to break out of this land of isolation that the Abraham Accords had imposed on it by saying to the world, ‘I beat Jerusalem to Riyadh,'” Taleblu said, noting that Saudi Arabia has not yet signed on to normalize ties with Israel. “It’s trying to downgrade or devalue the Abraham Accords and counter its expansion.”

End times expert Michael Snyder warned that the deteriorating U.S. influence is going to bring profound consequences, and time is proving him right.

“U.S. relations with China have been steadily deteriorating for quite some time, but the Biden administration seems absolutely determined to make them even worse,” Snyder says.

When former President Donald Trump warned that recent conflicts with Russia, Ukraine and China have brought the world closer to World War III, Snyder fully agreed with that assessment.

“Trump was right on target with that statement,” Snyder says. “In my entire lifetime, the United States has never been closer to an apocalyptic war than it is right now. It appears that we could end up fighting Russia and China at the same time, and that sort of a nightmare scenario will not be good for any of us.”

Except now China is shoring up allies in the Middle East, one of which is determined to exterminate the nation of Israel.

Meanwhile, Iran—Persia—is a major player in end times prophecy within Ezekiel 38.

The Bible says nations will rise against the Lord’s chosen in Israel and make war against them, and eventually the Lamb Himself.

Iran has been calling for the eradication of the “Big Satan” and “Little Satan” (U.S. and Israel) for decades now, and with Chinese and Russian support, it will be emboldened to act on those threats.

With a stable Middle East aligned with world powers like Russia and China, Israel may soon find itself losing favor with its neighbors who have signed the Abraham Accords who do not wish to face the wrath of a unified Middle East.

While the leadership of the United States military focuses on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives within its ranks, Russia and China are preparing for war.

Yet even the true Satan knows that nothing moves forward in human history without the Lord’s knowledge and guiding hand.

He tells believers what is going to happen before the End of Days in His Word. To be as prepared as possible for the coming times, all Christians must do is read the Word and proclaim it across the globe, saving as many souls as possible with the redeeming knowledge of Jesus Christ. {eoa}
