War is coming to the Middle East
U.S. says exercise by Israel seemed directed at IranBy Robert R. Barney
The United States is claiming that Israeli exercises this month is actually a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The New York Times is reporting that "Several American officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program."
What does this mean? Well, a third of the pages of the Bible is devoted to prophecy of events that have not happened yet! Many of us assume that the Bible is a collection of stories concerning "old history" when truthfully, most of what the Bible has to say concerns the future! Unlike what many evangelist like to tell you, the Bible does not give a date when war in the Middle east will bring about the return of Christ, but it makes it plain that this is what is going to happen. The Bible also says that there will never be peace in the middle east. Never-Until the return of Jesus Christ, the LORD GOD of the Old Testament, the person (yes the Bible calls Him a person) that is part of the Godhead that died on the cross for you and me. Jesus is returning this earth. Heaven will be on this earth, and we can depend on that as fact.
Is the coming war with Iran the beginning of the end? I don't know, but we are told to watch the news and the signs of Matthew 24. When we see those signs start to "stack up," then we know the end is near. So far, most of the signs have NOT stacked up and please don't trust those who say they have. These are false prophets placing their own glory over God's. Remember, God does not do anything that the entire world will not understand. The Egyptians knew what was going to happen to them. Ancient Israel knew that they were going into captivity and the exact year that they would return to Jerusalem. Keep your eyes on the following:
1) News about war in the Middle East and the US and England
2) Look for false Christianity forcing it's will upon the you.
3) Look for the rise of a Nazi-type Europe (King of the North)
4) Look for the collection of Arab states under one dictator (King of the South)
5) Look for war in the Middle East
6) Look for famine and pestilence in the modern world, including the USA and England.
7) Look for a world leader (probably from Europe) who will appear to settle all the tensions in the middle east... Then run for hell to the hills!
