I don't think so (and I am right at least 10% of the time in these sorts of cases....lol ) on the other hand... as is the case in Iraq and as is the case in Aphganistan, it may be seting the stage for the future and frankly ... you never know
I do not believe the intention of the Bible is to give us the scedule the intention is having the power to live and inspire perseverance
see Acts 1:8 and the verses around it, the disciples ask Jesus who is raised from the dead and about to ascend, IS THIS THE TIME YOU WILL RESTORE ISRAEL.... some people say this sentence has more mistakes in it than words, but... Jesus answer then and now is probably the same IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW DAYS OR TIMES BUT YOU SHALL RECIEVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COME UPON YOU AND YOU SHALL BE MY WITNESSES
The main thing is being right with God through Jesus and having the power to live in a pleasing way to God and Jesus will be with us no matter what happens and that is enough

Absolutely not. This is not the end of time as described in the Bible. Although this event is not the end we are living in the end times. To get an understanding of the times we are in you have to go back and study the book of Daniel. Chapters 2 and 7 to start. As you start also check the event in history. History clearly pinpoints the Reign of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazrzar. Do this before diving into the book of Revelation.

The war is Middle East at present is just a war between Israel against Hezbollah guerillas and Lebanon. It will not trigger the end of the world. It is only an isolated conflict and not the end of times.

The Bible does not predict the end of times. That belief is based on a gross misunderstanding and interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Fundamentalists do not seem to bother to understand what Jesus really said and to understand some of the idioms that he used. If one really studies and deciphers what Jesus said about over coming the world and the end of the world, he or she would realize that -- in our language -- Jesus was speaking about overcoming the sinful world of the ego. Remember what Jesus said about his disciples, who were ordinary people like we are except that they followed the teachings of Jesus. He said, "They are not of this world, even as I am not of this world."
So, when Jesus was asked about when the end of the world will come, he was speaking about the end of suffering. And, he said that the end would come when the Gospel is preached to the entire world. The Gospel (if understood, believed and embodied) beings peace, joy and happiness. When we know the truth that sets us free, we are free from mental turmoil and suffering.
Some people do not think it is nice to disagree with the religious beliefs of others. False beliefs are not sacred, holy or divine. They are false, and they lead seekers astray from the Gospel that Jesus preached ... the Gospel that would save us and bring peace and harmony to the entire world ... if only people believed and did what Jesus said.

No, this has nothing to do with the bible. Leave it out, will you? No one needs any more problems than there already are.
All it will do is a savage slaughter of innocent civilians all around Lebanon, and an even bigger crisis in the Middle East.

Yes. Absolutely it is going to. Not today, not tomorrow. this is the beginning.
and also. the current Leader may very well be assassinated by his own fellow Jews. he is going to give land away, which is being talked about now. when he does. The Jews will kill they're own leader.
You don't think so?
read Joel 3:1-3.
good Question.

I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing this. We can not know the time or place of His coming. The minute I hear someone tell me that they know God's plan that's how I know that God's plan is something else.

This has been weighing heavily on my heart. I think we may be headed for that in our lifetime.
