I want to point out a piece in the news about Iraq and the insurgents there.  You know Iraq is far from peaceful.   The insurgents there have never stopped the killing.  They have never stopped sending insurgents to Syria.  ISIS is not only operating in Iraq, but Syria as well.  As we will see, the war in Syria is far from a civil war.

The Islamic State In Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is active and well armed.  They are responsible for countless killings and persecution of Christians as well.  Despite the media reports that these rebel factions and others like Al-Nusra, and the FSA, are fighting only Assad’s army, they are systematically cleansing the area’s they hold of Christians and other religious minorites.  Christians have had a presence in Syria since the first century.  It’s in reality a home of Christianity, yet they are systematically being slaughtered and cleansed, by the groups that western leaders and Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and others are backing.

(BBC)”ISIS was formed in April 2013 and grew out of al-Qaeda’s affiliate organisation in Iraq. It has since become one of the main jihadist groups fighting government forces in Syria.

The final “s” in the acronym Isis stems from the Arabic word “al-Sham”. This can mean the Levant, Syria or even Damascus but in the context of the global jihad it refers to the Levant.” (More)

Babylon, the Babylon of the Bible is in Iraq, and Saddam Hussein, before he died was resurrecting this city,  declaring himself to be the reincarnation of  Nebudchenezzer.

And when obama announced the war in Iraq was over and all would be at peace, it’s far from that.  Why mention this?  As far as Bible prophecies go, this ties in with what is happening in Syria.  Remember the side of Islam the Sunni’s, think that Damascus plays a huge part in the ushering in of end times and the Mahdi.  While the shiite’s believe different, they both believe that the Mahdi won’t come until they cleanse the world of unbelievers.  And it looks like when they say world, they are referring to the middle east as the Bible did.  Of course their ultimate goal is to rule the entire world known today, but in order for the Mahdi to come certain things have to happen in the middle east, things which they are fighting for today.  They believe Syria is where their god’s judgement is coming to pass.

So you can see what is the true war in Syria.  They want an Islamic Caliphate with the head in Syria.  And Turkey is helping them because they are fighting for the head of this Caliphate.  While Iran and Hezbollah back Assad, as they want to become the head of this Caliphate.  In fact the Islamists in Iran believe that they will hand the black flag of Islam to the army that defends the Mahdi and destroy’s Israel.  (Again, Revelation unfolding.)

So you can begin to see the back and forth and fighting between Shiite and Sunni.  This also brings a picture of the Feet of clay mixed with iron that we see in Daniel.  Remember the Angel tells Daniel that the kingdom of the end times will be a ‘mixed’  kingdom and they will not stand.  For more on this read here. This is very serious.  It’s very significant.  The western leaders led by obama and the US is actually helping this to come about.  These facts and others are overlooked by most.  If you look at events and what’s really happening, you begin to see Revelation unfolding.

Look closely at this map as it portrays the land of Sunni, and Shias, and you will also see a picture of the divisions of this ‘kingdom’ and how it is today. This is beginning to make it’s way into main stream media slowly as you saw above in the video.  This also from Haaretz:

From the first outbreak of the crisis in the southern city of Deraa to apocalyptic forecasts of a Middle East soaked in blood, many combatants on both sides of the conflict say its path was set 1,400 years ago in the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad and his followers. (More)

This from Front Page Magazine:

A Lebanese reporter for the Al-MonitorMiddle East news service explains that Iran and Hezbollah view the Syrian civil war not only in a strategic context, but in a prophetic one. In their belief, the radical Sunnis will conquer Syria for a short period of time and then Iranian forces will intervene on their way to destroying Israel. (More)

There are many more references to this, but follow the above links and become familiar with this, as it all ties in with what is happening.  Their beliefs actually mirror our prophecies from Revelation.  Revelation 13 is what they believe is happening right now in Syria.  Who will win?  Revelation tells us who will win.  This is very serious and significant.  This beast is rising, and the dragon is giving it, it’s power.  But back to Iraq, this is playing right into Revelation 16  The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.  How?  It’s being reported that the insurgents in Iraq have taken control of a Dam in the west of the country.  A Dam that ties the Euphrates, and the Tigris in Turkey.  They are adding this as a weapon, they say to flood areas and prevent security forces from advancing against them.  (More)

So before you seek out the sensational headlines of the US as Babylon or Russia as the antichrist please spend some time looking deep into the headlines of today, read Revelation again, most specifically the chapters relating to the Beast kingdoms and mystery Babylon, seeking guidance, and it will unfold for you.

Daniel’s dreams and visions covered a wide territory, remember the Persians conquered Babylon, and their kingdom covered large portions of the middle east.

The exact location of Daniel’s tomb is up for speculation, but here is a photo of Daniel’s tomb located in Iran.

It’s not hard to see why these prophetic utterances from Islam resembles ours.  They are well aware of what the prophets said.  Unfortunately they have twisted them into something that is not recognizable.  They refuse to see the truth.  “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

Never before have I seen so many of current events pointing to prophecy.  In centuries before, it was a stretch, and a twisting of scripture that allowed many to predict things that have not come to pass.  Today we have all the prophecies culminating into one.  And it’s beginning to come into focus.  Be a Berean, find out for yourself, the watchmen are sounding the alarm loudly and are running out of time.  I could site, many, many scriptures, but Jesus laid it all out in his Olivet discourse, even tying it into Daniel and Noah.  Daniel for the abomination causing desolation, and Noah for the wickedness of the world.

Matthew 24:

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. ⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹ “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. ¹⁰ And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. ¹¹ Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. ¹² And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. ¹³ But he who endures to the end shall be saved. ¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

We are seeing every bit of this today.  Take heed that  no one deceives you.  Search the scriptures and the current events for yourself.  You will see a clear picture of tribulation, wars and rumors of wars.  You will see the abomination that causes desolation is here, and rising rapidly.  You will see the wickedness of mankind.  Not only in the western nations but what is happening in the middle east.  The desolation, the slaughtering of innocents and Christians has reached unbearable proportions, despite what some in the media try to downplay.  Open your eyes wide and really look, it will frighten you, but remember we know how the story ends.  We’ re guaranteed this in scripture.  And remember how Jesus ended His Revelation:

Behold, I am coming Soon!  My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.  I am the Alpha and the omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.  Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic ares, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehoods.  I, Jesus have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.  I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

Yes, I am coming soon.

There is much more to this eschatology and what is happening in Syria, we will be posting more.  We are currently researching this.
