The answer to your question is found in God's Word, the Bible. Revelation 12:7-9 relates that war broke out in heaven: Michael (the glorified son of God,Jesus)and his angels battled with the dragon (Satan the Devil)and its angels. The dragon was thrown down to the earth and is now misleading the entire inhabited earth.  Verse 12 goes on to say that the Devil has great anger knowing he has a short period of time. So Satan the Devil is the invisible ruler of this world (see 2 Corinthians 4:4) and is the one responsible for all these troubles. \nIn Matthew 24:1-14, Jesus gave a composite sign of his presence, which includes among other things, "nation against nation,kingdom against kingdom." War on a global scale began with WWI in 1914 and war continues to this day. This is just one proof that we are living in what the Bible calls 'the last days' (see also 2 Timothy 3:1-5).\nWhile this brings much pain, grief and suffering to inhabitants of the earth, we can be assured and comforted knowing that God will soon bring an end to not only war, but all the causes of war, and will ultimately bring peaceful paradise conditions to our beautiful home here on earth.\nPsalms 37:9,10 tells us that evildoers will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. Additionally, verse 11 says these ones will find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace, and verse 39 goes on to say that the righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will reside forever upon it.

Absolutely, and it fits exactly with Bible prophecy.  Pay attention to what is happening with the Europian Union and the Euro as the currency of the world.  Watch for Arab nations to convert their value of a barrel of oil from the US dollar to the euro and what that will do to our economy.\nYes,  VERY scarey this is...LOL... at least to those who are not prepared!

Yes, mainly the Bible, people thing the Bible is fiction but they don't understand that its real and whats in it is scietificly all true and possible, the end of the world is soon, read the Bible revolations and you will understand how its all going to end.\n\nExamples:\n\n1.War in middle east\n2.Earth is going to burn instead of flood like Noahs ark\n3.Nations will fight\nSoon to come:\n1.World hunger will be solved\n2.one currency\n3.one ruler (anti-christ)\n4.false prohfets (however you spell it)

most of the biblical events were centered around the Middle East.  I don't know why it was a biblical hotspot, ask God (lol).  Most likely it was because it was near the "cradle of civilization" where Adam and Eve were created.

Nope.  \n\nSecularists especially, use these "Didn't the (whatever Bible story) get copied from (whatever extra-biblical source)?"  all the time.  These have been discredited over and over again, yet they keep coming back.\n\nWhile it is true that there are similar stories in various other ancient texts, they are also very dissimilar.  You can look to the Amarna Letters, Babylonian Theodicy, Elba Tablets, Hammurabi's Code, Ishtar's Descent, Ludlul Bel Nemedi, Mari Tablets, and innumerable others, and find stories that are similar to the Bible's.  That hardly allows for them to be sources.\n\nKeep in mind also, when the Flood occurred, it was world-wide, and every ancient civilization recorded it.  These are also descendants of Noah, who abandoned YHWH as God, and followed idols instead.  The veracity of the story remains.  You can look to other stories in the same vein.

I asked this same question and the answers were hilarious. You are dealing with an irrational brainwashed mass of idiots. The bible was stolen from Pagans, Romans, Greeks, all kinds of people. And, used to cause more death and destruction than all wars combined (heck, most wars were caused by christians)

Not only that but God told Joshua to go into a certain city, I believe it was Jericho and kill everyone, and not to leave anyone alive. Sounds more like Bin Laden than a loving God. The Old Testament God has been painted to look rather savage and bloodthirsty. I consider the fact that the Bible was written not by God but by humans with agendas and ambitions.

Israel is the only country in the middle east that has a Judeo-Christian ethic and belief system.  Many Christians and Jews in the US support them because of that.  Also, they are of strategic importance to us militarily.

Possibly, yes.  Many historical events which took place in the Bible foreshadow future events.  (See Romans 15:4)\n\nPerhaps the wedding of Issac and Rebekah can be likened to the upcoming marraige of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and his wife, the 144,000 humans who will reside in heaven as rulers over the new earth, as is foretold in Revelation 19:6-8.

I see what you're saying. I wouldn't read too much into it, though. Perhaps Rev 18 broadly refers to the triumph of God over all who oppose Him. It certainly can't be applied UNIQUELY to the situation in Iraq.\n\nConsider the military base Nagasaki, that "the earth was lightened" (18:1) by the Little Boy atomic bomb.\n\nConsider also that there's no equivalent to 18:21, that a great stone will be cast into the sea. Also, that while violence cast down the site of Babylon, the Ishtar Gate, which once guarded the entrance to the city, now sits in Berlin at the Pergamon Museum.

The Bible focuses on spiritual matters, not the physical world.  That's why it doesn't mention so many things that would be of interest (for example, the trade routes known at the various tmes the Books were written; population figures; manner of dress, etc.).

No, this has been happening since the beginning of time. Do some reading about the Chrsitian Crusades. All of that was due to Christains and Muslims fighting over the Holy Land.. Its not a state thing or a US systematic hatrid, its history

The Evangelist Preached on This Last Night during our Revival. I can see it happening in our life time. More and more situations in the Middle East point to God's soon intervention is Israel. Thy are surrounded, and threatened. When all out war breaks out, and Iran,Russia,Syria, and several African Countries are involved...LOOK UP ! YOUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NIGH !\nMARANATHA ! LORD JESUS ! MARANATHA !

Yes and we should have a war with them.\nBecause when we translate the alien bible, it won't sound the same as all the bibles on earth.
