Just a thought re-reading the bible might not be a bad idea..

I do not find any reference to muslims or nuclear weapons in the Bible. Neither do I find any reference to the United States, England, modern Israel, Iraq, or Egypt, the former Soviet Union, the Common Market, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and a whole host of other people and places that seem to occupy the speech of modern pop prophecy preachers.

They are mostly the invention of folks who do not know how to properly read, study, and interpret the Bible with any real authority.

...modern Israel..

From Number of a man by Philip Mauro. He wrote this in 1909

(Bold emphasis mine)

And it should be noted in this connection that Zionism, while intensely national in character, does not propose to revive the ancient religion of the Jewish people. This is, to my mind, the strangest feature of Zionism. Every national revival among the Jews in their past history has been a religious revival. That there should ever be a national revival of Judaism which should be absolutely destitute of the religious element, and which should make absolutely no appeal to the religious feelings of the people, would be deemed an a priori impossibility. And yet it is necessary, in order for prophecy to be fulfilled, that a large number of Jews should return to, and should occupy, Palestine in a condition of religious apostasy. This event seems to be now close at hand; and, in spite of all opposition, hatred, spoliation, and persecution, the hated and despised Jews have possessed themselves of such financial resources, and of such commercial influence, in every part of the world, as to prepare all that is needed for the rapid fulfilment of the other steps of the prophetic programme. [282]

It a great book and can be read online. What Ifound fascinating is that this man seemed to be perplexed (remember, he wrote it in 1909), but saw no other way in order for prophecy to be fulfilled.
