Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The worst terror attack in Jordan's history is in contrast to what will happen inthis Middle Eastern nation in the future according to Bible prophecy. The Jordanian born terrorists, al Zarqawi, the leader of the insurgency in Iraq has now expanded his terrorist tennacles into his native country and has killed many of his own countrymen.
Jordan a key ally to the United States and the European Union has long been the potential target for a terrorist attack because of its role in the Middle East as a nation wanting to coexist with the Jewish state of Israel. In fact, the al Qaeda statement that King Abdullah and Jordan had made this nation a backyard garden for the enemies of the Islamic faith, referring to the Jews and the Crusaders the meaning the Christians of the west, seems to be the main motivation for this horrific attack on the nation of Jordan and the Jordanian people.
This report is somewhat in contradiction to what Bible prophecy reveals for Jordan in the last days. Daniel 11:41 predicts that Jordan, in Biblical terms: Edom, Moab and Ammon, will escape the wrath of the Antichrist during the first stages of the seven year Tribulation Period. Matthew 24:16 and Revelation 12:6 speak of a place prepared by God to protect the Jewish people during this future time of judgment, and that place will be Petra in Southern Jordan.
A terrorist attack on Jordan today is indeed in contrast to its future, according to Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
