The passages call out Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, by their former names, as well as some that remain to this day as forming an alliance against Israel in the days when we once again see Israel rise from the ashes of Arab and Persian domination. The scriptures also call for Russia to be backing those nations, and in the end there will be a huge conflict and an attack on Israel that will stun the world. And these passages were written prior to and during the Babylonian conquest of the Middle East, and into the Persian conquest under Darius the Great. It also showed how Alexander the Great would come and conquer and how his kingdom would be split into four regions, as well as the foretelling of the Roman Empire.
And now we find ourselves in the midst of Biblical prophecy, and the Muslims have drawn their line in the sand. Armed and supported by Russia, they will eventually attack Israel. We will see the Muslim world trying to usher in the Great Battle between Islam and the world. We see the stage being set for them to deceive the world that they are peaceful, and anyone following the main stream media and politics will see they have been effective. Even with the massive riots, acts of terror, declarations of genocide and domination, the politicians and media do not want to admit they have a global agenda.
Mohammed began the religion that will see the world at war, but little did he know that had already been predicted. He was a prophet alright, but a prophet who lived contrary to any other. He was a prophet who lived by his lusts, by his contradictions, by his lies, and his sword, robbing and killing all who called him false. The same thing the antichrist will do when he arrives on the scene. Slay and oppress all who deny his global religion, and with the agenda to kill all Jews and Christians. The stage is set, the players are in place, and the deceit is well advanced to take by surprise those who trusted them.
Mohammed set in motion the Apocalypse when he began Islam in 600 A.D., now his followers are intent on making sure it becomes the reality the Bible says it will be. Much to the chagrin of Muslims worldwide, they are not merely following Mohammed and his evil, they are also fulfilling the precise events as foretold in the Bibles of the Jews and Christians thousands of years before he walked this Earth in his intent to destroy what God had blessed and usher in the Age of Death.
The religion of Islam demands killing and war against all others.
It's nice to be a part of history, right? LOL!
"And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against
every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell
in the presence of all his brethren."
Genesis 16:11 concerning Ishmael, the servant woman's son
This is pretty scarey stuff but, I've always thought I would see this come to pass in my lifetime.
I've thought the same thing. I continue to watch world events, and every major event I see tells me it's coming closer.
Interesting, but what then is the measured Christian response?
measured Christian response?
Vote : ....YES
Lake Iran
Thats the start of getting their undivided attention.
You believe Christianity unified enough to have a response?
Islam's early conquests came over a Christian empire incapable of measuring the danger and incapable of proper response and when responses were appropriate treachery and perfidy undermined them. I see the same conditions today though no Moslem leader of any capabilities similiar to those of the early Pirates Mo led.
The old Chinese blessing/curse comes to mind - May you live in interesting times.
That's a hard one. Every cell in my body is screaming "nuke them bastards" while I pray "come soon Lord Jesus". Do we really have a choice? I don't think so, but I don't think that we are supposed to stand by and watch. My personal opinion is to attack Iran because if this is the prelude to Armageddon it won't make any difference what we do, but if it's not... well, nothing would pacify the Middle East better than a large parking lot in the area formerly known as Iran!
It is difficult. I'm approaching it this way:
It doesn't matter what I think. Our leaders will do what they will do. If they continue to allow this build-up, then the ME enemies of Israel will attack that much sooner, thus ushering in the new age of history. If, though, they decide that Iran is too dangerous, they will attack Iran, and delay that age for a few years.
I honestly don't have an opinion on what we should do. When my emotions get the better of me, I feel as you do--attack them and turn them into a parking lot. However, I also know that everything is going according to the Plan set down, and I cannot (even if I wished to) change that.
I'm watching this situation unfold, and reading my scripture. It's all under control.
How true! I used to have a card saing Romans 8:28 in my kitchen window, facing the sink, so that I would see it when I washed dishes. Unfortunately it got wet too many times and broke. I need to make me a new one. Thanks for your calm words. I am personally ready for our Lord's coming, but when I look at my children I start wishing for a few (60-70) more years for them to enjoy life. How foolish of me!
bump for later
the stage is being set for the christians to lay down and submit to death by beheading... as with the terri shiavo case, starvation is no longer inhumane and those electing not to take the sign of the beast will be denied food on grounds that starvation is a blissful end and since christians believe in a better afterlife than what they would expect here on earth, dispatch them quickly...
the events foretold are coming... no one knows when... 911 showed me that when god needs to stir things up, it is an easy thing for him to do...
i am glad to be on the side that eventually will triumph...

This was the kind of thinking that aborted the Jesus Movement 35 years ago, and cripples Christian witness to this very day.
Please reconsider your role as a volunteer cheerleader for the other team. In the 70s, everyone "KNEW" that global communism was antichrist's vehicle to power. Then when God miraculously took down that enemy of His, none of the 'prophecy teaching' crowd stopped to reconsider, to give Him glory. Instead, they immediately began looking for ANOTHER enemy to cower/grovel before.
Give thought to the possiblity that God could discredit Islam tomorrow -- and start befriending students from muslim nations.
We can't do anything but keep faith that everything will unfold as it should.
Pope John Paul prophesized that this period in history will be a Springtime of Evangelization. Even as wars will soon rage, historic cities are destroyed, the Church will grow brighter and stronger. Protestant/Catholic/Orthodox divisions will be healed. Militant Islam will eventually burn itself out after waging war in Europe. Europe will see a return to its Christian roots after much persecution.
I believe that as a nation we must do all to survive as a group and use all our resources to that end. With that said, watch and pray. The AntiChrist will come in peacefully, not with war but with flatteries and talk of peace. The Muslims serve Gods plan by what they do, as all nations on this Earth. People have a problem believing that this nation, or any other, would be attacked because of Gods plan, but it is biblical. When some televangelists talked of protection being taken away because of a nations sins, that has happened before to Israel, and other nations. It is not out of the question. God has been trying to "tell us something" as a nation, for quite some time. The message will get louder and more frequent, until the nation turns back and humbles itself.
