When so much is going on, like today, I appreciate hearing thoughts from others, such as this pastor and thought you might too. He is not right all of the time but is most of the time. I like that he always reminds us to refer to scripture and scripture is what we should trust in. So here are his thoughts:
MY THOUGHTS
Three teenage boys were kidnapped by Muslim terrorists, possibly Palestinian, today. Netanyahu and the Israeli military are searching for the boys. This could be very explosive between Israel and the Palestinians. I believe there could be a possible link between the ISIS offensive in Iraq, and the kidnapped teenage boys. I do not have any confirmation of this, but a just a thought. If this assumption is true, then the ISIS offensive is much more explosive and dangerous than any of us can imagine. Be aware of the possible fulfillment of Isaiah 17 where Damascus is destroyed.
Iran’s venture into Iraq is more than just to save Shia Muslims from the Sunni ISIS march toward Baghdad. I believe Iran has its sights on the bigger prize which is Israel. Russia is strangely quiet, and in time they will make noise. There is a lot of spoil in the Middle East Russia would like to possess. I believe Russia is working behind the scenes with Iran. We know from the prophet Ezekiel that Russia and Iran will attack Israel to take spoil. We do not know if that spoil is directly or indirectly Israeli spoil, but there could be a total breakdown in the Middle East where Gog sees his advantage to take out the Jewish state. (Ezekiel 38/39)
If we are heading to a total breakdown in the Middle East, then a new leader in the EU may be the leader that will try to put the pieces together as Antichrist. The new leader will not be chosen until the end of the year, and by that time, there may be substantial violence throughout the world. I believe the last 3 ½ years are the most important in prophecy. I do believe in a 70th week of Daniel, but I also believe God works in mysterious ways. Time will tell how this develops. (Daniel chapter 7 and 9)
I will continue to post commentaries and follow all events via twitter. This is a very fluid situation, and we must keep it in prayer, and as always keep Scripture close to us. Remember, Israel is the center of all prophecy. May God be with you so that you will not be deceived.
