What I’m thinking is the mess in the Middle East. What I’d watch for is someone coming up saying the have the answer to all the war and strife and if only they would give him power to handle it .....
Plain old crass political move on part of president Obummer to satisfy war weary American voters. He should have left 20,000 troops in Iraq as the generals wanted. We have more troops than that in Germany & S. Korea after 75 years.
Some great descriptions of muslims in these 3 Bible passages!
Scary stuff. It all comes back to the Holy Land. Pray hard.
A lot of marauding hordes have barreled through what is now Iraq over the past two millennia: The Persians on several occasions, the Arabs, the Seljuk Turks, the Mongols, the Ottoman Turks, the Turko-Mongols under Tamerlane, and the British. No wonder the geopolitician Halford Mackinder called the region a “shatterbelt.”
“The Shia are concentrated in Iran, southern Iraq, southern Lebanon and a minority in Syria.”
.
You forgot to mention that the bulk of the oil of Saudi Arabia is found in the Eastern Province which is predominantly Shia in a sea of Sunni, but that the Shia do not benefit from it as much as the Sunnis do.
The Royal family of S.A. are all Sunni.
I too have no doubt that all this is prepwork for what’s on the way. More geopolitical puzzle pieces of the end sliding into place. I’ve become 90% convinced that the “12th imam” will be the AntiChrist, that Pope Francis is the False Prophet, and the “historic peace treaty” that ushers in the Tribulation will be a deal in which Arabs agree for the Jews to rebuild the temple, in exchange for Israel giving up east Jerusalem.

What the Kurds endured over the centuries is remarkble....I think after Saddam used chemical weapons, taking well over 12, ooo just in two of thier communities.....they would not show mercy toward any in Iraq (Sunni or Shite) if either should rise against them....what was done to their people by Saddam was beyond cruel. I’m not so sure they see Shites or Sunni’s differently in respect to their own freedom and desire to maintain their culture. They don’t appear to side with either rather which ever will bring peace to the nation overall..and that’s more to do with the leadership of Iraq.
In some ways the Kurdish culture sort of reminds me of how Israel has fought to retain their culture and people over the years....Kurds have been repressed by nations and suffered much to sustain their culture.
LOL!
“From Genesis, we learn that much of the Arab nation came from the first-born son of Abraham, Ishmael. He was not the child of the promise,nor was he born of Sarah Abraham’s wife. Ishmael was the son of Abraham through his bondslave, the Egyptian woman,Hagar.”
In other words, not legitamite, forgive me of any misspellings, not legit born?
I would use another word, but I want to keep it “clean” this posting and thread.
not directly by name
but look for the takeover of Babylon with the one world religion moving in
the pope, the liberal protestants and some form of Islam, all claming to be one
Lots of folks are wondering...me included...
ISIS, Are We Witnessing One of the Women of Revelations? (Vanity) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3168721/posts

Sirius was also known as the Star queen Isis, the mother goddess and her marriage to the sun.
Throughout history the summer solstice and the throne of Isis which basks in the sun of the summer solstice have been very powerful symbols and it is no accident that we have seen these symbolic images before.
We have covered extensively the symbolism of ISIS and the newly organized “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” and how it is a powerful acronym recognized in the west. We have also covered the appearance of an Isis doppelganger in the Disney Film Maleficent.
We have also spoken of the thousands of years that have transpired since the first caliphate took power after the death of Mohammad and how his name is similar to the leader of the newly formed Isis.
According to it is written that Abu Backr was the first Caliphate or successor to Mohammed.
Backr’s biography states: After Mohammed died (632), an assembly of Muslims in Mecca elected Abu Bakr as the first ‘khalifat rasul Allah’ (successor of the Prophet of God), or caliph. Under him the collection of Mohammed’s revelations was recorded in the Koran. Abu Bakr suppressed tribal uprisings and brought central Arabia under Muslim control, after which he directed Arab armies into Iraq and Syria initiating thus the Muslim conquests.
ISIS coincidentally is being lead by an elusive leader named Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, a man who shares the name with the first caliphate after Mohammad

All of this is intriguing, as we are instructed to watch for the signs. Isis in a scarlet sheath dress bedecked in gold, pearls, and royal purples of Egypt...same depicted in Babylon as Ishtar goddess of prostitutes.
The Great Harlot is not the church...before modern man or Christ...the Great Harlot was Isis/Ishtar.
Probably not.

The infighting we see now, while pertinent, is incidental - Except in that Iraq must needfully be part of that broad coalition, hence must fall to the jackals.
Note however, that Ps83 could come sooner, and could very well be the catalyst that causes that Caliphate to aggregate.
