Iranian President Ahmadinejad warned Israel that if they were to strike Syria, it would be considered an attack on the whole Islamic world that would bring a fierce response against the Jewish state, which could mean the entire Middle East at war.
World leaders like UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the leaders of the EU, President Bush of the US, and President Putin of Russia, and even King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia are concerned that the Israeli-Hizbullah conflict could lead to an extremely serious situation which could subject all Middle East nations to destruction. Many world leaders feel that the attack, counter attack between Israel and both Hamas in the South and Hizbullah in the North could escalate into a full blown Middle East war.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on thee News
There have been around the clock news reports of the intensifying conflicts between Israel and Hamas in the South with Hizbullah at the Northern border of Israel. These military actions are a page from the last major message of Jesus some 2,000 years ago, a prophetic message that is coming very close to fulfillment.
CNN, the Fox News Channel, and MSNBC along with other news outlets are giving us almost around the clock coverage of the intensifying military action that is focused on the Jewish state of Israel. These network news reports and this report that I'm giving right now, are truly a page from the message that Jesus Christ gave on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem almost 2,000 years ago.
Jesus said, as recorded in Matthew 24:6-7, that there would be wars and rumors of wars, nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom. The present Middle East crisis surely fits that prophecy. Jesus also told John the apostle to write in the book of Revelation about wars that would be prevalent during the seven year period of judgment yet to come; these were recorded in Revelation 6:3-4, 9:1-16, and 19:11-20.
As the world watches the Middle East crisis intensifying, the words of Jesus Christ draw closer to fulfillment, and it could be very soon.
