Biblical Prophecies Current Events – Unprecedented World Chaos..Earthquakes..Volcanic Eruptions..Tornadoes

Current Events Linked To Biblical Prophecies. Everything is unfolding just as the bible foretold. Wars, Volcanic Eruptions, Earthquakes, Extreme Weather, Christian Persecution, Violence and more!

The events in Iraq, and through the Middle East have the world media reeling, politicians scrambling for contingency plans, and many people holding their breath wondering what happens next. The Bible clearly lays out the roles of Russia, Iran, Israel and the other players in the Middle East. We are seeing the nations moving into their Biblically appointed roles.

The New Year burst onto the scene with fireworks in Iraq. The American Embassy was besieged by the soldiers of the Kataib-Hezbollah on New Year’s Eve and looked like it would be overrun. With memories invoked of the 1979 fall of the US embassy in Iran and the ensuing hostage crisis, also the fall of the US Embassy in Tripoli in 2012, which resulted in the death of Ambassador, America was not going to stand by.

President Trump responded decisively with a missile attack, which killed the leader of Iran’s Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Force.

President Trump stated the following:

“Last night, at my direction, the United States Military successfully executed a flawless precision strike that killed the number one terrorist anywhere in the world, Qasem Soleimani.
Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him. Under my leadership, America’s policy is unambiguous to terrorists who harm or intend to harm any American. We will find you, we will eliminate you, we will always protect our diplomats, service members, all Americans and our allies.
For years the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its ruthless Quds force, under Soleimani’s leadership has targeted, injured and murdered hundreds of American civilians and servicemen. The recent attacks on US targets on Iraq, including rocket strikes that killed an American and injured four American servicemen very badly, as well as a violent assault on our Embassy in Baghdad, were carried out at the direction of Soleimani.
Soleimani made the death of innocent people his sick passion, contributing to terrorist plots as far away as New Delhi and London. Today we remember and honor the victims of Soleimani’s many atrocities and take comfort in knowing that his reign of terror is over….
We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war…
We do not see regime change. However, the Iranian regime’s aggression in the region, including the use of proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbours must end, and it must end now….
The United States has the best military, by far, anywhere in the world. We have the best intelligence in the world. If Americans anywhere are threatened, we have all of those targets already fully identified. I am ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary. That particularly refers to Iran…
The nations of the world are reeling, and their hearts are failing for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth (Luke 21:26). Governments around the world are shaken. Some world leaders are celebrating, while others are mourning and breathing out threatenings and slaughter.

Biblical Significance

While the political heavens are reverberating in shock, we search the scriptures for the significance of these events. Iran is the modern name for the biblical nation of Persia, the empire symbolized by the chest and arms of silver in Nebuchadnezzar’s nightmare image, which stood for the kingdoms of men. This mountain of flesh stands against the kingdom of God until the time of the end when we read:

“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” (Daniel 2:34–35)
Persia, or Iran, is “broken in pieces together” with the rest of the kingdoms of men. Iran is the latter-day representative of Persia, which will stand in the latter-day with Russia. This detail was emphasized by the prophet Ezekiel when he described the alliance that would invade Israel:

“Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him… I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.” (Ezekiel 38:2–7)
Persia is part of the Gogian confederacy, part of the great image empire that stands in the latter days, part of the company of nations that will align itself against Israel. The news we are seeing today is proof of that very fact.

Soleimani – the leader of Jerusalem’s Muslim Liberation
Many are asking who Soleimani was, and how this airstrike will affect Iran? Soleimani was head of the Quds forces, the elite unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The name Quds is very telling, named after al-Quds, the Muslim name for Jerusalem. Soleimani was head of the Jerusalem Corp, the elite unit charged with liberating Jerusalem and other cities in the name of Islam.

Many news services have been examining the bold move by Trump. A fascinating fact was the company Soleimani was keeping when at the time of his assassination. Republican Congressman Michael Waltz had the following to say to Fox News:

“This is a bold, decisive, and frankly long overdue move on the part of the United States, to take down Soleimani. Just so everyone knows, he is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers, thousands, if now tens of thousands of people across the Middle East. He is the equivalent of Iran’s CIA and special forces that runs all of their militias and proxies across Syria and Iraq…
“He was in Iraq and was with the head of Kataib-Hezbollah, that just rocketed our base, and killed an American, and then staged this attack on our embassy. Soleimani was with them. The head of Kataib-Hezbollah said he was Soleimani soldier. So there is another piece to realize here, that the Israelis have said for years, in a number of reports, that they have wanted to take action against him, and the Obama administration declined it.” (Republican Congressman Michael Walz)
Soleimani was a leader, not just of Quds but of the Hezbollah, and regional terrorist leaders reported to him. He made himself an enemy of Israel by working through the various terror groups surrounding it. His influence was not limited to Iran and Iraq. Consider what former US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North stated:

“The bottom line is Soleimani was the purveyor of more terrorism than any individual since Osama Bin Laden. Congressman Waltz is absolutely right, he has killed more Americans than anybody else since then…. If we did indeed get Soleimani, we have reduced the number of terror attacks dramatically. Here’s the bottom line. There are two governments in Baghdad. One is the pro-American government that is calling on us to continue to train and assist their military and provide information that is very important to countering terrorism and protecting their country. The other one is the Iraqi government that is beholding to the Iranians. The Iranians have long wanted a free access going all the way from the Iraq-Iran border, all the way into Syria, and then, of course, the Bekaa Valley and attacking Israel.” (Former US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North)
The strategy of Iran’s Quds Corps leader was to create a corridor between Iran, through Iraq and straight to Syria’s Bekaa Valley – giving it easy access to Israel. All of a sudden, this assassination takes on more considerable significance. We know at the time of the end, Iran (or Persia) will be with the king of the North (or Russia) when it makes its grand move against Israel.

This is the underlying theme that seems to come up with many of the commentators. Listen to Pete Hegseth, co-host of FOX News Channel’s FOX & Friends.

“This is an escalation, I think it is proportional, I think he is right. But to kill the top commander of the Quds forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, this is the designated terrorist organization of the Iranian State. They are not just in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan – they are with Hamas, with Hezbollah, they are surrounding Israel. This is the top anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western force in the world.

This would be like during the Iraq surge, when I served in Iraq and shortly thereafter, the insurgents killed General Patraeus. I mean, this would be the equivalent of Swarzkopf, or McArthur, in a conflict. It doesn’t mean we are inclined to have to do more or go to war with Iraq. What it means is they are reminded today, like they are every day under the Trump administration, that the Americans are the top dog. That we can find you where you are. We can find you at the Baghdad International Airport when you think you are safe, because you think you control the Iraqi regime, you think that is your back yard. Nah, nah, nah, nah, we got intel, we got weapons, we have intel and we can touch you anywhere….

Federation:

On January 3, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
The parties discussed the situation in connection with the killing by the US military of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Commander Major General Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike on Baghdad airport.
Sergey Lavrov stressed that targeted actions by a UN member state to eliminate officials of another UN member state, and on the territory of a third sovereign country without its knowledge grossly violate the principles of international law and deserve condemnation.
The Russian Minster pointed out that this act by the United States is fraught with grave consequences for the regional peace and stability, does not facilitate efforts to find solutions to the complicated issues that have built up in the Middle East but, on the contrary, leads to a new round of escalation. Moscow urges Washington to give up illegal military actions to achieve its goals on the international arena and to settle all problems at the negotiating table.
It is interesting that Russia appeals to international law in this case, but completely disregards it when it comes to invading Georgia, annexing the Crimea, or sending its troops to operate in Syria and Libya. Obviously, it is a power that has its own interests in mind, and not the peace and security of the region or the world – but then the Bible tells us of its devious plans:

“Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought…” (Ezekiel 38:10)
Bringing the Arabs and Israel Together
As Bible students, what we have anticipated for years is an alliance to form between the Gulf States, Jordan, Egypt and Israel – under the shadow of Britain and America. The Bible requires it. Ezekiel speaks of a group of nations opposing the latter-day invasion:

“Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?” (Ezekiel 38:13)
Sheba and Dedan are ancient nations that lay within the territory of modern-day Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Daniel speaks of nations that are spared from the King of the North’s invasion – meaning they are not allied with it:

“He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.” (Daniel 11:41–43)
Edom, Moab and Ammon are nations than inhabited the region of modern-day Jordan. They “escape” or are delivered out of the hand of the King of the North, meaning they are not with him. Egypt is a target of the attack, meaning it is not allied with the Russian confederacy either.

Yet the Middle East has been rife with Arab wars against Israel since its Israel’s founding. As Bible students, we have looked for a change in this regard.
