Does anyone see any connections between the war in Iraq and all the other stuff going on as biblical prophecy?

Question

150,000 American troops on the Euphrates
Palestine and Israel going head to head over the West Bank
Iran's nuclear situation
N. Korea testing everyone's patience with their missle tests

Answer 1

Yes, I do see the connection, friend. Let me explain.

I will say my opinions. Be aware that this may frighten others so be considerate.

If anyone knows about the 150,000 troops, please state what will happen. I didn't look into this one.

For the Palestinians and Israel going head-to-head on talks over the West Bank attacks, there's also the implication of recognition for Israel and the Beast who will deceive the world.

You may wonder who is the "woman that rides the beast". The woman who rides the beast is the great harlot, the RCC (Roman Catholic Church), and the beast is the person that resides in the Vatican. That person will come out of the Vatican to decieve the world, speaking blasphemies against God.

For Iran's nuclear situation, think of this. I warn you, this is much bigger than you might think and may not be accurate due to newspapers changing every now and then. With Iran, they deny they are building nuclear weapons but are looking at ways to negotiate than following a pre-conditional trigger. Iran has nations on the talks, hoping to negotiate. They are Germany, UK, France, US, Russia, and China. The six-nation talks as you would have it. Look at the bigger picture than this. Russia (which is known as Megog), China (known as Gog, ally of Megog), are actually Iran's allies. Think of the books that always provide heart-throbbing suspense. China and Russia are pulling both strings, playing both as mediators and alliies. Russia and China may say they want to negotiate but they actually want Iran to continue to build nuclear weapons. Remember that Russia is nostalgic of the USSR and its heydays of bloodshed, repression, communism thanks to the democratic drawbacks. For China, they see the alliance with Iran as a way to boost the imperial power of China's military. On a side note, Russia is secretly building their military, expanding their force. China, on the other hand, visits US bases to see exercises being conducted. Why? Because our US politicans want to see what China has in their arsenal. Would China a.k.a. Gog do it? No. All it comes down to this is Megog and Gog are becoming ready for their attacks.

So, keep reading the Bible and checking with news. The prophecies will be fulfilled as said in the KJV and I believe every ounce of it even if they have not come to pass yet.

If you are not saved, do so now. Because once this all starts, and the national ID card comes out, Satan will come out like an angel of light, trumpeting. Everyone will take the ID card and accept him as a god. Then afterwards, there will be mass beheadings of people who resist the card that is required to buy or sell. There will continue other seals. But, anyone who asks to be saved by God, God will laugh in derision because you disobeyed Him and did not listen before He wreaked all His great wrath. I'll list the websites in my source list so you can take a look at the seven seals and the End Times Prophecies.

All of this is not good for anyone who is not saved right now. How to get saved?

Let me enclose a piece of email that will help you.

The Way Of Salvation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to God's Holy Bible, there is a place called HEAVEN and a place called HELL. The Bible tells us that every person will spend eternity in one of these places. God wants everyone to know the way to HEAVEN. The following verses from the Bible point the way . . .


The Reality of Sin

The Bible tells us that "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). This means that ALL have fallen short of God's standard, and missed the goal. My friend, this means, "There is none righteous, no not one . . . They are all gone out of the way . . . there is none that doeth good; no not one" (Rom. 3:10,12). The good deeds and self righteousness of man is in vain, for God says, "All our righteousness is as filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6).

It is absolutely useless for a sinner to depend upon his good works to make him acceptable in the sight of God. "The scripture hath concluded ALL UNDER SIN" (Gal. 3:22). "There is NO MAN that SINNETH NOT" (I Kings 8:46. "ALL WE like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way" (Isa. 53:6).


The Reason for Sin

You may be wondering why that every person is a sinner. The Bible tells us, "By one man sin entered into the world" (Rom. 5:12). That one man was the first man upon the earth and his name was Adam. "In Adam all die" (I Cor. 15:22). We are all descendants of Adam, and just as a physical likeness is passed down from generation to generation, even so a moral likeness is passed down.

Therefore we are sinners by nature and we are sinners by choice for "ALL HAVE SINNED" (Rom. 5:12). "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born" (Psa. 58:3). "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" (Jer. 17:9). "By nature (we were) the children of wrath" (Eph. 2:3).


The Result of Sin

Every sinner (unless he accepts the ONE true remedy) will spend eternity separated from God, in a literal burning hell. Please do not doubt the following verses from God's Word.

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezek. 18:4). "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15). "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23). "IF YE BELIEVE NOT . . . ye shall die in your sins" (John 8:24). "The wicked shall be turned into hell" (Psa. 9:17). "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Rev. 20:15).


The Remedy for Sin

The remedy is NOT IN another HUMAN BEING: "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one . . . " "None . . . can by any means redeem his brother" (Job 14:4; Psa. 49:7). The remedy is NOT BY MONEY: "Ye (are) not redeemed with . . . silver and gold" (I Peter 1:18). The remedy is NOT BY WORKS: "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us" )Titus 3:5).


But the Remedy is Only Through the Lord Jesus Christ

Do you feel guilty over your sins? Do you feel sorrow for your sins? The Bible tells us that "godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation" (II Cor. 7:10). "God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). A person who never repents will be lost forever! "Repent . . . and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19). Repentance is more than sorrow over sin, it is a change of mind. It involves turning from sin and turning to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith.

Are you ready to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, the only true remedy for sin? He is the only one that can cleanse you of sin and make you a child of god. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). "As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12).

Christ literally became our sin bearer, as He took our place and died for our sins. "For he hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (II Cor. 5:21). "Christ died for our sins" (I Cor. 15:3). "Who His own self bare out sins in His own body on the tree" (I Pet. 2:20).

Will you right now take your place as a poor lost sinner and confess Jesus as your Saviour and Lord? "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6:23). "Jesus saith . . . I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME" (John 14:6). "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. . . For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Rom. 10:9,10,13).

If you do not understand how to be saved, then read this tract over and over again until you do understand. The eternal destiny of your soul is at stake. Do not lay this tract down until you know your are save.

If you are willing to receive Christ as your Saviour, get on your knees right now and tell the Lord and then thank Him for His wonderful salvation. Then get up and tell others what God has done for you.

Now, this is very important! I hope you or others will get saved because of this message.

Answer 2

Not really ,I think the religious fanatics would like it to be prophecy, Muslim and Christian alike, They want it so bad that they vote in war mongers to rule, Whats going on in the middle east is all about greed and control of oil, their is only 1 middle eastern country of the muslim faith that we have not attacked and they have no oil. The Christian Bible was written by a man, His name was mesher ( not sure of the spelling) copied from the Jewish faith , took out what didn't fit in his plan. The early popes were war lords and slaughtered people all over Europe forcing them into a christian religion, religion is nothing more than a political force to control the masses. Even if their was no religion we would still be after the oil. Because without the oil this country is out of business. I hate organized religious fanaticism.

Answer 3

I have great respect for Bible and take pleasure in reading choice passages especially Sermon on the mount. We live in the 21st century with modern analytical methods to guide us in our affairs. I believe in a more secular and scientific approach rather than go by predictions or prophecies.American troops in Iraq,The eternal fight between Israel and Ishmael and North Korea threatening the whole world are complex issues and I feel it will be rather irrational to base our approach on prophecies.

Answer 4

Nope. Quit being alarmist. People have made connections to Biblical prophecy for years, and every time something new comes up, they change what means what. Revelation was written for the time period it was in, not way in the future. The people then would have had to understand it, which they wouldn't if it were referring to current events.

Answer 5

The bible says there will be wars and wars and more wars. There will be rumors of wars. I believe that there are things happening that could be of an end time but I don't think it's the war. Good question for the religion sight.

Answer 6

Yes, and it started when Israel became a nation. There is actually an entire book written over this exact subject.

Answer 7

For sure its like going back to the dark ages:
Mass kidnappings, beheadings, torture (on both sides)

This is the year 2006??

Seems like people haven't changed much in 2 thousand years.

Answer 8

People have been making this sort of connection for the past 2000 years. They have been wrong every time - why should you be any different?

Answer 9

I believe everything is moving to fulfill Biblical prophecy

Michael G and just where do you get your information about the Bible?

Answer 10

Thou shall have no other Gods before me. There is only one God! And one day every tongue will confess and every knee wil bow to our Heavenly Father.

Answer 11

People have asked questions like that for generations.
