The world is in tur­moil, here in America peo­ple are look­ing to our President to do what America has always done, just bomb the prob­lem away.The prob­lem with the bomb them into obliv­ion crowd is they fail to rec­og­nize that bomb­ing oth­er nations does not solve problems.

Russia is mov­ing aggres­sive­ly across the bor­ders of the Ukraine. Russia main­tains they are only sup­ply­ing human­i­tar­i­an aid to pro Russian sep­a­ratist fight­ing for auton­o­my in the Ukraine. At the same time there is an even more sin­is­ter and omi­nous cloud on the horizon.

The recent­ly formed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. or ISIS, was formed just over a year ago when mem­bers were forced out of Al-Queda because of their bru­tal­i­ty. ISIS is like no ter­ror group we have seen before. They are not just a group of thugs using ter­ror to make polit­i­cal points. This group has declared itself a state. Presently they have carved out huge swaths of land both in Iraq and Syria. ISIS is report­ed­ly worth over two Billion dol­lars in assets. Analysts say the ter­ror group gets mostof it’s income from Captured Oil wells, they sell the oil on the black mar­ket. Earnings also come from Kidnappings and dona­tions from people

sup­port­ive of their cause.

The ques­tion for the west is how to stop this emerg­ing threat. Experts say the prob­lem is made worse because there are American and British cit­i­zens fight­ing along­side ISIS. How does these events fit into bib­li­cal proph­esy?

BIBLICAL PROPHESY

Biblical Scholars are point­ing to these events as end time occur­rences which were in the Bible over 25oo years ago, So what does the Bible say about this?

The civ­il war in Syria is ful­fill­ing Bible prophe­cy in that it is lead­ing to the cre­ation of a rad­i­cal Islamic 
enti­ty which is a re-for­ma­tion of the ancient Assyrian empire, with a sim­i­lar agen­da of destroy­ing Israel and 
incor­po­rat­ing Palestine in a pan-Arab state. This is exact­ly the sit­u­a­tion described in the Bible as existing 
before Christ returns- and is there­fore a sign He may well return very soon. http://​www​.care​links​.net/​f​i​l​e​s​/​S​y​r​i​a​.​pdf

Isaiah 17 

In the last days, the Bible tells us, a hor­ri­ble series of events will take place in the lands of Israel and Syria. One of these events is the dis­ap­pear­ance of Damascus as one of the pre­miere cities in the world. The old­est con­tin­u­ous­ly inhab­it­ed city on the plan­et, Damascus has wit­nessed at least five thou­sand years of human his­to­ry, and some his­to­ri­ans believe the city actu­al­ly dates back to the sev­enth mil­len­ni­um bc. In fact, Paul was on the road to Damascus when Christ first appeared to Him, an event that trans­formed not only his life, but the course of human history.

In the very near future, Damascus will once again play a major role in human events. The prophet Isaiah pro­vides us with God’s com­men­tary on a future con­flict between Damascus and Israel, and in so doing, He reveals cer­tain prophe­cies that have been par­tial­ly ful­filled in the past. However, the ulti­mate ful­fill­ment of Isaiah 17 remains in the future. The cur­rent exis­tence of Damascus, which will one day cease to be a city, as well as the his­tor­i­cal absence of the coali­tion of nations proph­e­sied to attack Israel and be destroyed by God, is proof that Isaiah 17 proph­e­sies events yet future. http://​www​.rap​tur​eready​.com/​f​e​a​t​u​r​e​d​/​g​i​l​l​e​t​t​e​/​I​s​a​i​a​h​_​1​7​.​h​tml
