Criticism
Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group, criticized Rosenberg's July 31, 2006, Paula Zahn Now appearance that "featured a segment on 'whether the crisis in the Middle East is actually a prelude to the end of the world,' marking the third time in eight days that CNN has devoted airtime to those claiming that the ongoing Mideast violence signals the coming of the Apocalypse." It featured Rosenberg comparing apocalyptic Scripture in the Bible to modern events, which he views, in addition to the lenses of politics and economics, through what he calls "a third lens as well: the lens of Scripture."
Rosenberg's views on the War of Ezekiel 38–39 involving Gog and Magog are in line with dispensationalism, which is an eschatology that is debated in the Christian community. Partial preterist Gary DeMar has debated Rosenberg on this subject.
