I fear we’re going to see one of two things. The mass destruction of the Jewish people. Or the return of the Lord to prevent that from happening. I don’t have any faith that our government will do anything to prevent it.

If the majority of dispensational bible prophecy scholars are correct, either now or at some time in the near future Egypt will return to it's former status as one of the most virulently anti-Israel Islamic nations along with Iran, Syria, etc. They believe that's predicted in Old Testament prophecy written long before some of those nations even existed. Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Persia(Iran), Turkey, Lebanon, and another 2 or 3 Islamic nations I don't remember offhand are specifically mentioned in Bible prophecy as nations that will join Russia (Gog) in an invasion of Israel in the final days before the return of Christ. According to that interpretation (if I understand it correctly), Israel will be near defeat when God Himself will intervene and the invading armies will be crushed and driven back into their own lands.

Most dispensational Protestant bible scholars say there is no mention of the US in bible prophecy. If not, it must be that either we will not be a nation at the time that invasion takes place, or more likely just not a major military or financial power on the world scene by that time.

OTOH, Covenant theology theologians don't believe that present day Israelis are descendants of biblical Jews, or that today's Israel is the same Israel of the Old Testament. If they're right today's Israel is not under God's protection, and would probably be a sitting duck for an alliance of Russia and it's Islamic allies unless the US intervened militarily. It's beginning to look like one or the other of the two scenarios will unfold before our eyes in the near future.

Personally, I hope the dispensational interpretation is correct, I would like to see Israel wipe out the Iranian Mullahs and their fanatical murderers once and for all. And of course the return of Christ would be by far the best of all possible outcomes for all believing Christians.

I think Obama will try his best to prevent the return of the Lord.
