The Problem with the Middle East.
As this world seeks peace, we see a change in the worlds perception of only one country, Israel. Israel is a thorn in the side of all Middle Easter Nations. The problems in the area are not connected to Israel but are rather a problem of greed and religion, power and submission, control and conquest. These are nations that are caught up in the most interesting aspect of Biblical prophecy concerning the region and of Israel. Israeli-Palestinian peace talks foundered in mid-2000, just before the start of a Palestinian uprising. Israeli negotiations with arch-foe Syria collapsed in early 2000. Israel's prime minister on Thursday said it was wrong to link the Arab-Israeli conflict with woes in the Middle East and ruled out any immediate talks with Syria. (Reuters, BBC. AFP.)
Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Do you who say,"I am Religious and I am of God," bridal your own tung? Do you make great speeches with great swelling words of prosperity and possession? Do you render fine stories that not only a child believes but also the elder, who is not learned in the true words of God? Do you prophecy without the direction of God, but use the words of humans? Do you that kindle a fire, expect not to be burnt? Isa 50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. Do you that sow discord reap fine flower?

Isa 34:6 -10; The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.

Who is fighting over the land of God without respect to the will of Him that created it? Mankind does not own this earth, we are but sojourners here, in a strange land, in a time of Gods choosing. You fight and war and cannot win, for you fight against God. For the day of the LORD'S vengeance is upon you and none can hide. None can hide their iniquity and none can hide their hatred for the Chosen of God. Your Kings and Princes, your Priest and Scribes will be as nothing before the Almighty, for you have turned your backs and become gainsayers and back sliders, going after strange and seducing spirits.

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. This land that you lust after will be turned to ruble, the trees will be on fire, the dust will not be kind nor pleasant to you. The sky will darken and the moon will not give her light for she will be as the blood that you have spill. The earth drinks up the blood of the innocent and crys out with the pain and sorrows of many. Shall these types of people enter into Gods rest? Shall they enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

The problems in the Middle East cannot be cured by political means for it is not in the power of any to create a lasting peace, though the Bible tells us that "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." This peace the Bible speaks of are in the nature of the short term peace, peace between man and woman, man and man, Nation to Nation, etc.

Psa 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. Those that compass about Israel will be eventually destroyed with fire and great blood loss. This is the Kingdom on Earth that God has ordained for the cite of the Throne that Jesus will sit upon and rule the nations with a rod of Iron. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 2:26-29; And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

He that hath an ear, let him hear, Let him hear of the truth of God, let him hear the truth of Jesus, let him hear the truth and be of a single mind that will make his choice. If your religion is strong enough it will stand if not it will fall, for there will be only One leader, One Christ and only One God that will rule this earth. Try God and see if He will not deliver you from your bondage of fear and deception.
Rev 22:10-16; And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. ars.
