Saudi Arabia's Role in Building God's Kingdom

In the prophetic vision of Ezekiel 38:13, Sheba and Dedan, often understood to represent modern-day Saudi Arabia, stand apart from the forces seeking to plunder Israel in the latter days. This ancient prophecy hints at a distinct role for Saudi Arabia in the Kingdom of God: a role of neutrality or even tacit support for justice and peace in the region.

As we consider this biblical perspective in today’s geopolitical reality, Saudi Arabia emerges as a critical player in the Middle East's transformation—not only in fulfilling prophetic destiny but also in leading efforts to counter the spread of radical ideologies that threaten global stability.

Saudi Arabia's Biblical Role

In Ezekiel’s prophecy, Sheba and Dedan voice opposition to the predatory motives of a coalition set to attack Israel. Today we know that coalition is based between Iran and Al Qaeda where it extends across the middle east. Saudi Arabia’s current trajectory as a nation distancing itself from radical interpretations of Islam and embracing modernization of its country and its relations such as the Abraham Accord suggests a role for Saudi Arabia as a stabilizing force, contributing to the establishment of peace in the region and the broader world. In the Kingdom of God, such a role is not incidental but central to fostering harmony among nations.

The Middle East’s Struggle Against Radicalism

The Middle East has been infected by a distorted and satanic version of Islam that glorifies violence, division, and destruction—values antithetical to the hadiths and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. This form of radical Islam, propagated by groups like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood and various proxies of Qatar and Iran, represents a grave threat not only to the Islamic world but to all of humanity. It breeds terror, destabilizes nations, and fuels the narrative in the West that unjustly paints all Muslims as complicit.

True Islam, as revealed in the Qur'an and the Hadiths, espouses peace, mercy, and coexistence. It calls for understanding and unity among all human relatives, emphasizing compassion over cruelty. It is essential to distinguish between what can be termed “Peaceful Islam” and “Satanic Islam.” The former embodies the principles of love and brotherhood, while the latter distorts Islamic teachings to justify acts of evil and chaos.

Saudi Arabia: A Modern Example of Moderation

Saudi Arabia has positioned itself as a leading force for moderation and modernization in the Islamic world. Under the Vision 2030 initiative, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Kingdom is transforming its societal structures, emphasizing economic diversification, cultural openness, and religious moderation. Efforts to promote a more peaceful and inclusive interpretation of Islam are central to this mission. Saudi Arabia’s moves to curb extremist ideologies and rebrand its teachings as moderate Islam reflect a recognition of its responsibility in leading the Muslim world toward a more peaceful future.

De-radicalizing the Middle East

Saudi Arabia’s leadership is urgently needed to spearhead a comprehensive effort to de-radicalize the Middle East. This mission might involve creating an open-source curriculum to educate young minds about the true, peaceful tenets of Islam while exposing and dismantling the satanic ideologies that glorify violence. By leveraging its religious authority and resources, Saudi Arabia can:

1. Develop Global Curriculum: Collaborate with scholars, educators, and technologists to create an open-source, multilingual educational framework that promotes peace and de-radicalization.

2. Set International Standards: Establish guidelines for the practice and teaching of Islam worldwide to prevent the spread of extremist ideologies.

3. Support Western Regulations: Work with Western governments to counter subversive activities by proxies like the Muslim Brotherhood and state actors like Qatar and Iran, ensuring harmony between Islamic and Western societies.

Confronting the Threats to Peace

The satanic version of Islam perpetuated by radical groups and their state sponsors is not just a Middle Eastern problem; it is a global menace. Left unchecked, it risks deepening divisions between the West and the Islamic world. This polarization fosters stereotypes that unjustly condemn all Muslims and fuels Islamophobia, creating a cycle of mistrust and hostility. Confronting this radicalism is essential to preserving peace and stability.

Saudi Arabia is uniquely positioned to lead this fight. Its religious significance as the custodian of Islam’s holiest sites gives it unparalleled authority in the Muslim world. By taking decisive action to de-radicalize the region, the Kingdom can fulfill its prophetic and modern roles as a force for good in the world.

The time is now for Saudi Arabia to rise to its dual calling: as a nation with a prophetic role in the Kingdom of God and as a modern leader for peace and moderation in the Islamic world.

By addressing the roots of radicalism and promoting true Islamic teachings, Saudi Arabia can help heal the divisions that threaten global harmony. The Middle East, the West, and the entire world stand to benefit from this mission of reconciliation and renewal.

The stakes could not be higher. The choice is between a world plagued by the chaos of satanic ideologies or a future illuminated by the peaceful teachings of Islam, rooted in the love and unity envisioned by God.
