Baghdad looks like it's about to go down to Islamic Militants.
Some say Baghdad is Babylon? What happens when it falls?
Meanwhile - back in Washington, the Pentagon is making sure someone in jail get's their sex change operation.
I thought it was more than 450 million dollars?
And the State Department is wringing its hands over "global warming."
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent:they are confederate against thee:
6 the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ish'maelites; of Moab, and the Hag'arenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Am'alek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot
Daniel 11 excerpt:
40 ¶ And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Use the map in your Bible to understand this.
What I read earlier mentioned $450M plus a bunch of gold bullion so yep, much more! This is gonna get real ugly there....
King of the North is likely another way of referring to “The Assyrian.” From the Israelite perspective, what comes from Mesopotamia comes from the north.
I had read it was in the billions with a B.
So yah.. not good.
ping!
Islamic militants taking over country by country.. soon we will have 5 or 6 Irans. All orchestrated by Obama.. or his handlers.
Since the hanging gardens existed in what is now Iraq and Babylon was part of what is now Iraq, I would suggest that it has fallen many times.
Are we living in the end times of the Bible??? Maybe but I have not seen the things that would make me say definitely yes.
So what happens when Baghdad falls??? Wait a while and see
If someone puts on shoes in the Middle East, it’s going to be called a sign of the end times. I hold firmly to the belief that it will only come when even believers aren’t looking for it. You could have people claiming that every year for the next century was going to be the year, and they’d all be wrong.
Saints preserve us
I agree but these last 5 years have been different. Really these last 10 years.
Ever since 9/11 things changed.
Things began moving a lot faster. The birth pangs increased.
Libya fell, they tried to take over Syria, Iraq is falling.
I thought the biblical Whore of Babylon was a metaphor for the USA?
History is replete with nations rising and falling. Iraq is not unique, and its proximity to Israel doesn’t make it special.
I’ve heard this theory as well...
What happened the last time it fell?
The more I study and the more I see happen, the more I believe you are likely correct.
