I found a news article today on the current situation in the middle east with Iran and Israel, it looks like war is unavoidable at this point. Recent comments from Iran suggests that preparations for war are well underway with their Shahab-3B missiles positioning to aim right for the nuclear heart of Israel.
If war breaks out than the apocalyptic end time prophecy scenario will gain more plausibility than ever before. Many say the year 2012 will be the biggest year for end time prophecies and I will be looking out for the upcoming events leading up to 2012…
The news article “Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart” can be found here at Timesonline.co.uk
Here’s another signs of the times of not just these present-day “forerunner wars” in the Mideast, but that Armageddon itself edges closer:
The New York Times reports that the Euphrates, in the birth of civilization, is drying up. The river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.
The Book of Revelation prophesied the Euphrates river drying up as a sign of the very End, allowing armies from not only Turkey and Iran to invade Israel but also eastern nations (Pakistan?, Afghanistan? China? etc).
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Revelation 16:12
