It sure seems to be. Things seems to be falling into place....
I keep thinking the prophecies of Isaiah regarding Damascus(Assyria/Syria/, Elam( Persia/Iran), Mitzarym( Mitzarim?,Egypt), and other nations and of course Ezekial's ominous 38/39.
The prophets truly must have seen things so hard to fathom, but thankfully they used the best words they could to grant us a picture into todays newspapers.
