CBN spoke to Joel Rosenberg, a bestselling Messianic Jewish author, about the conflict unfolding in the Middle East. In this interview, Rosenberg said he had never seen a war this intense:

“I have never seen a war as intense,” he said. “This is the most consequential war that Israel has ever fought since the War of Independence, in which seven Arab countries were attacking.”

Rosenberg went on to label authorizing the October 2023 attacks on Israel as Iran’s biggest mistake:

“We’re gonna realize … crystal clarity of hindsight is that the Iranian regime led by the wicked and probably demon-possessed leader of Iran, they [made a] fatal miscalculation by encouraging, authorizing Hamas to invade Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and encouraging Hezbollah to launch a massive missile attack against Israel on Oct. 8, 2023.”

In the most interesting part of this interview, Rosenberg, no stranger to the prophetic, shared how he thought the events unfolding in the Middle East right now could lead to prophetic events. In particular, he highlighted, Ezekiel 38:

Ultimately, he said, there are “two scenarios” he could see unfolding.

The first, which he said is less likely, is a situation in which Iran (listed as Persia in the Ezekiel prophecies) will be humiliated by the past two years and will turn to Russia to ask for help. Rosenberg said he can’t necessarily see this taking place as Iran might not have much of a military after Israel is done, though it’s still possible they turn to Turkey, Russia, and others for support.

“The other scenario is that, what we’re heading into, is the first 11 verses of Ezekiel 38, where … Russia and Iran and all these countries have an alliance,” he said. “They’re preparing themself at one level in terms of growing closer, but Ezekiel 38, verse 11 is that Israel’s living securely in the land.”

He said this security could be created if Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed, Iran is neutered, and the Assad regime in Syria is out of the picture (the latter of which has already happened). If peace emerges in this way, Israel could very well find itself in the conditions prophesied in those verses.

While it is impossible to know for sure if what Rosenberg described will come to pass, we do know that the Lord’s plans for the end times center on Israel. Let’s pray into his words as we intercede for God’s chosen nation in the Middle East!
