The Middle East in Prophecy
6 videos • 4,357 views • by Tomorrow's World The nation of Israel is at the core of many Middle Eastern problems. The city of Jerusalem is a focus of three major religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital and violent Islamist militants escalate problems. There are signs to watch for in the Middle East. Prophecy indicates that Arab nations will come together with a common hatred towards Israel, the United States and other Western countries. This Arab confederacy will become the King of the South who will team up for a brief time with a dominating European superpower - the King of the North. This “Beast of Revelation” is a revived end-time Roman Empire with a German military who will then turn against the King of the South (Daniel 11). It is important to know that Iran is not an Arab Nation. Iran represents Persia and practices Islam in the Shiite tradition while the Arabic world practices Islam after the Sunni tradition. There is deep and powerful animosity between these two traditions which may act as a catalyst for the creation of the Arab confederacy. Scripture reveals a future time of peace in the Middle East with Jesus Christ, King of Kings, reigning in Jerusalem at the center of a world government.
