If you have been keeping up with the news about Israel, Iran, Russia and the Middle East region, you have probably seen a lining up of the nations just like God prophesied through His prophets Daniel and Ezekiel thousands of years ago. What’s strange is that only Christians seem to see what is actually happening. Nevertheless, what God has prophesied in the Bible will definitely take place in the fullness of time. Have you noticed the earthquakes, tsunamis and extreme weather patterns? Man tries to dismiss all the “natural” phenomena as normal but in His Word God said these weather patterns and catastrophes would become more frequent and more intense as the end of the age approaches. In the book of Revelation in the Bible, the rise of a one-world government and one-world religion is foretold. Many Bible scholars have put forth their take on what it will look like. Mainline evangelical denominations have agreed that a leader from the revived Roman Empire will be the Antichrist who rises to power in the end times. Recently I heard a new theory I would like to speak about. I have questioned the prophetic interpretations regarding the rise of the revived Roman Empire, the rise of a European Antichrist, and the Antichrist proclaiming to be the Jewish Messiah simply because I have come to understand that all end time prophecy centers on Israel and her neighbors in the Middle East. If you look from Genesis to Malachi and from Matthew to Revelation, the whole story concentrates on the Middle East. The Garden of Eden was in that area as well as the lands of all the tribes of Israel and the lands of all their enemies. To say all of a sudden Europe is going to play a key role in the last chapter of the story is a bit far fetched. First of all, it is not possible that the Jews would accept a European non-Jew as their Messiah. Messiah has to be a fulfillment of all the Messianic prophesies in the Old Testament for the Jews to buy it. And the religious or Orthodox Jews now living in Israel have all the information ever written to substantiate any claim. With all the technology we have at our disposal today, it is possible that a gigantic hoax could be pulled off to deceive Israel into thinking someone was a Jew, born in Bethlehem to a virgin and fulfilled all the other prophecies written in the Old Testament about their Messiah but I believe the man must be a Jew from the Middle East. The one-world government and the one-world religion, on the other hand, is looking more and more like Islam. Islam was a powerful force in the Middle East for over 600 years before the Turks conquered it and drove out the Muslims in 1299. The Turks established the Ottoman Empire and ruled the entire Middle East from 1299 to 1922. For all intents and purposes, Islam was mortally wounded and died. However, there was a remnant who held on to their beliefs taught by the prophet Mohammed during his lifetime from 570 A.D. to 632 A.D. After the British overthrew the Ottoman Empire in 1299, the Islam religion once again moved to strengthen their hold on the third world Arab nations. One thing to note is that the Arabs were made up of many different tribes of people who were superstitious and fearful. They were constantly moving from place to place as bedouins, living in tents. Their religion teaches submission to the rules of Mohammed as taught in the Quran. The penalty for disobedience is death, generally by beheading. With the change in leadership which the destruction of the Ottoman rule brought, the Ayatollahs became the rulers of the vast Arab population. Islam is not just a religion, it is a culture and a way of life. Fear is the mighty power that holds the population in submission to these Ayatollahs. Islam teaches that anyone who does not adhere to Islam is a heretic and an infidel and should be killed. Believers are called Muslims. Ayatollah Khomeini took control and caused a huge uprising in 1988 thus bringing Islam into the age of Jihad, or Holy War against the infidels. Islam is spreading rapidly into every nation on earth by Arabs immigrating from the Middle East, bringing their religion and culture with them, and then demanding that the host nation change their laws to accommodate Islam. The Middle East struggle has always been between the descendants of Isaac and the descendants of Ishmael. The descendants of Isaac are the Hebrews or Jews who are the legal owners of the land of Israel (Jacob’s name was changed to Israel. See Genesis 35:10.) and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs who populate the majority of the land in the Middle East. The struggle will be settled once and for all when God intervenes in the War of Armageddon and wipes out all the enemies of Israel who are trying to annihilate them. GOD MADE COVENANT WITH ISRAEL God made Covenant with Israel and gave her all the land between the Nile River on the west and the Euphrates River on the east. He promised that after Israel became a nation once again in the end times, never again would the land be taken away from the Jews. What does this mean to you and me? It means we need to make sure we are as close to the Father God as we can possibly be, walking in the light of His Word and being obedient to His Word regarding our actions and words. It’s time to be wise and vigilant to what is going on around us not only in our neighborhood but also in our nation and our world. It’s time to stand up for Israel and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It is time to be a witness to everyone we know whether it be family, friends, coworkers or just acquaintances. If the end of the age is near, the end time harvest is also near. Jesus commanded us just before He ascended into Heaven to go into all the world and make disciples. Now is the time. Today is the day. If not now, when?
