RE: The Kingdom and Arab Allies Cut Ties With Iran
Interestingly, there seems to be a biblical divide between the Muslim nations in Bible prophecy as well. Iraq, Lebanon, the Palestinians, Gaza, Syria and a few others (majority Shiite) are on one side, and The Egyptians, Libyans, Saudi's and Turks (mostly Sunni) are on another. The Egyptians seem to switch and join the first group in the Psalm 83 war. The war will probably based geographically as much as it is which Muslim flag they follow.
Interesting Iran (Persia) seems to switch sides at the very end, leaving the other Shiites in the cold before the first attack. Which makes sense when you consider their growing alignment with Russia. They have a big brother there now. Much like America and Israel the last 70 years.
According to the Scriptures, The first group will attack Israel in a major war, and Iran will NOT join up with them. The Muslims will get their butts handed to them and Israel will have control of many more Oil fields in the region due to this war massively expanding their boarders, even some of the Saudi fields. Psalm 83 is the first attack by Muslims, it comprises all the Muslims in the inner circle around Israel, and is a stunning victory for the Jews. The second, Ezekiel 38 & 39, (and Zechariah 14) is the anti-Christ led by many European, remaining middle eastern (including Iran) and Russian powers. Here the scriptures say the Saudis verbally call out the coalition of nations for attacking Israel over oil and riches, ("did you come to take a spoil? they will say to Gog and his army"). The second war will leave millions of Jews dead, ending with the Return of Christ. Billions of ungodly men will have died between the war and bowl judgments raining down on the earth.
When is soon? I obviously can't say for sure and no man can. It may be in just a few years, or it may be another generation off. But once it begins, the whole thing will take place within one single generation according the the Words Of Christ Himself.
But biblical speaking in prophecy, the time is literally upon us and the table is set. After thousands of years of different Kingdoms possessing all these small ME nations, the 20th century brought them all back to independent nations, as it typically was 2500-3000 years ago when the prophecies were being written, so for the first time in 2000+ years, they are CAPABLE of being fulfilled with PERFECT accuracy. No British, Ottoman, Roman or Greek empires owning all the different nations in the region.
And we are instructed to be WATCHING and LOOKING for these things to come to pass. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND.
Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Mark 13:28-30
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
