Luke
21:[25] And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28]
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

In 600 B.C., the God of heaven put into the mind of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to dream events foretelling the future.
“But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.” Daniel 2:28.
The “latter days” refer to the last worldly kingdom, before the spiritual kingdom is established upon this earth.
“And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, for as much as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” Daniel 2:41-44.
This last worldly kingdom in the Middle East will consist of ten countries. It will be a mixture of military weak and military strong Arab nations, surrounding Israel.
In 96 A.D., the God of heaven revealed future events to the Apostle John: “for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3.
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth, of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and his authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to unto him to continue forty and two months.” Revelation 13:1-5.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18.
These ten kings will give their allegiance to an Arab leader. This individual, including the other Arab kings, will have one purpose: To destroy the Jews of Israel.
Eventually, this Arab leader will persuade the terrorists groups to stop their activity and he will convince them to wait until Israel believes it is in a state of safety. This leader may persuade Israel to return the Golan Heights, which is really for the purpose of gaining a strategic location for an attack. After the last Israeli solider leaves the Golan Heights, he will prepare for a surprise attack from Syria,with cooperation of the terrorist groups, the surrounding Arab countries and the enclosed Palestinian State. This attack will only occur after the majority of the American troops have left the area.Hewill probably entice the Hezbollah terrorist group in southern Lebanon to make minor military strikes in northern Israel, causing Israel to return fire. This will be the “cause and effect” in which the Arab leader will use to justify an Arab invasion into Israel. The escaping Jews will go into the Negev wilderness, south of Beersheba,for three and one-half years.
As the Jews flee south, a massive earthquake will stop the approaching army. This earthquake will begin the Great Tribulation Period, as it will produce a chain reaction of global earthquake and volcanic eruptions. This will set the world in an economic depression, as these geological events will disrupt all forms of communication, transportation and distribution of food and services.
This Arab leader will proceed to conquer Egypt and gain control of the Suez Canal. The so-called “mark of the beast”will be an identification process in which the Arab leader or Antichrist will use in the regions of his dominance: the Middle East, northern Africa, some sections of Europe and southern Russia.
He will remain at Cairo until the U.S. Battle Carrier Group stationed in the Mediterranean Sea and the Irael Defense Force attempt to block the corridor to Jerusalem, or at least he will think this is their plan. He will quickly return and set his command quarters upon the Temple Mount, while conducting battle plans for his army, which will assemble in the plain of Megiddo.
“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” Revelation 16:16.
The greatest earthquake in the history of humanity will occur in the Jordan River valley and allow lava to fill the valley 5 feet deep for 186 miles. It will be a flowing basalt plain of volcanic lava. The heat blast from the upwelling lava will destroy the army. The Israel Air Force will take advantage of this opportunity and will be dispatched and gain control of the land from the Mediterranean seacoast to the Euphrates river, from Egypt to northern Syria. Israel will be the dominant nation for the next 1,000 years.
Based upon Biblical interpretation, this might begin sometime after the American troops are withdrawn from Iraq,which will allow the Islamic Army to start the attack and set the stage for the beginning of the Great Tribulation Period. After 3 ½ years, the Great Tribulation Period will come to an end. The Lord Jesus Christ will return as King of kings and Lord of lords. For more information, click on this link:
December 15th, 2009. In 2007 the contingency plan was to begin the phasing out of our troops as early as 2009. Since that time it has been like a tennis ball going around in a tornado, ever changing its position. So, if my primary position was a time slot was a Middle East war beginning between 2010,why don’t I just chop off the 2010 to 2012 and made it 2012 to 2015.Because anyone who thinks he can tell what is going to happen to the U.S. economy is our of their mind, and when our troops begin to come home directly depends on how our economy behaves from here on out. It takes many months to get men and equipment from the U.S. to Afghanistan, just as it did to get them to Saudi Arabia in two Iraqi operations. The fact that we now have them in place, on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, is the greatest deterrent to the final war of this age occurring there, as long as they are in place. We may, or may not, maintain a strong enough economy to keep them in the Middle East.If we do, the war is most likely to occur between 2012 and 2015, but if our economy goes south, it could well being between 2010 and 1012. We may have to withdraw them for economic reasons much earlier than Obama plans. So, since I am tired of having repeated 2010 to 2015 for hundreds of blogs, and I realize you are probably time of hearing it,and also because soon 2010 will rear its head, Lord willing, from henceforth I will simply say: “IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN BEFORE 2015,” and simply refer back to the blog.
