As I suggested in my last blog posting, the dominoes in the Middle East may be starting to fall. First it was Tunisia; now it appears to be Egypt, which is under siege by massive demonstrations; soon, it could also be Jordan (where King Abdullah II is seeking to quell demonstrations) and which, it is reported, the government is on the brink of collapse; Yemen, which is experiencing unprecedented demonstrations, could be a possibility; Algeria, which ratings agency Standard & Poor’s say could be next; and Lebanon, leading to Iran. As an Israeli official asserted this past week, “We are living on a volcano!” The Middle East is about to change—significantly!
Who can observe all of this and deny God is shaking up things in preparation for end-times fulfillment? And what a shake-up it is! So what is He really doing? Let’s take another look at Egypt. (here)
And my absolutely favorite part?
As a result, the U.N. is now involved; and it appears the U.S. is out in the cold. But this is God’s plan; it had to happen, as the U.S. is not mentioned in Biblical end-times prophecy.
Do you know why the U.S. is not mentioned in biblical prophecy of the End Times?
BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

Oh, Craig, if that is the only statement that gets me burned at the stake, I ain’t speaking loud enough!
I recently had a commenter say that my interpretation of the anti-Christ in Revelation was dangerous…mainly because I think the anti-Christ in Revelation already came and this person has consistently equated Obama with the anti-Christ. I guess we’ll be burning together, Joel.
You bringing the kindling, Craig!
I think I must be experiencing some kind of groundhog day event… I have been burnt at the stake a number of times now.
Nothing like a good BBQ to get the dogs salivating…
The problem is that John says that there are many antic Christ’s in the world… and that the spirit of the Anti Christ is…. well… in my opinion…. this means the Anti Christ has to be those who are anti Christ….
Bit of a no brainer really….
Except that people have lost their minds over this!
