It’s apparently hastening the reign of stupidity in yet more branches of the American media...
Nothing will “hasten”, or delay, for that matter, the rise of the antichrist. It will happen when it happens.
Another academic who thinks scripture is just literature.

I’m not seeing that from his article.
Mankind cannot change Gods will.

Right you are - I retract the comment. I had another in mind.
I hope he's not expecting a different result as he continues along his same study path, because that would be the definition of insanity.
Some people never learn.
RE: Mankind cannot change Gods will.
It’s pretty futile to try to use current events to “read into” ancient prophecy and make predictions based on one’s assumptions.
Many people have been doing this and have been inevitably wrong. I’ve read about the Pope being the antichrist, Hitler being the anti-Christ, even Ronald Reagan being the antichrist ( because you see, his full name is Ronald Wilson Reagan <— 6 characters in each name resulting in the number: 666 ).
“The Abraham Accords: Historic peace treaty or a false peace that will hasten the reign of the Antichrist?”
the fake stream enemedia has been loudly proclaiming the “false peace” part, so that tells you how true it must be ...
I was not aware until recently that the Abraham accords GIVES part of Israel to the Palestinians for their own state!
That is division of God’s Land.
This cannot end well.
Not good for Israel, and NOT good for us for brokering it.
(ask GW what happens... Katrina)
Whichever God wills.
Man cannot hasten the antichrist.

Morocco may be next with Saudi Arabia waiting as the end game. MBS agree with Egypt’s Al Sisi that Islam has to be reformed.
A religion dedicated to the decapitation of no-believers doesn’t bod well for world peace. In addition, Russia, China and Iran will have less and less influence in the region.
Trump plays a different game.
RE: A religion dedicated to the decapitation of no-believers doesn’t bod well for world peace.
Here’s my view — You cannot conduct foreign policy under the assumption that Muslims will always lie and not keep their promises when they sign an accord. With that attitude, you might as well continue on a war footing with all your neighbors in the region.
Better to stay STRONG and VIGILANT militarily while maintaining peaceful relations.
Israel has done that with Egypt for over 3 decades and with Jordan for over 25 years. There’s no reason she can’t do it with other Muslim nations as well.
BUT EVEN SO, NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!!
As Reagan used to say — PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.
Well said.
Any deal with Arabs is the same as “come a little closer, said the spider to the fly”.
Muslims will keep their agreements... but only so long as they think they have no hope of victory. That’s the only condition under which the Koran allows them to make peace treaties with infidels, and even then, the treaties can only be temporary.
If you negotiate with Muslims believing that they operate under any other set of rules, then you are just deluding yourself.
