There Will Be War In The Middle East
The Economic Collapse ^ | 11/14/2012 | Michael

Posted on 11/14/2012 7:39:33 PM PST by pwatson

The military action that we are watching in the Middle East right now is just a preview of coming attractions. Tensions in the region are rising with each passing day, and all sides have been anticipating future conflicts and preparing for war for decades. It would be wonderful if everyone could sit down, forgive each other and agree to quit fighting, but that is not going to happen. Most of us that live in the western world have a very difficult time understanding the mindset of those immersed in these conflicts. In the Middle East, there are vendettas and grudges that go back literally thousands of years. Children are raised in schools where they are taught to bitterly hate their enemies from the time that they are first able to speak. As Americans, we have forgiven former enemies such as Germany and Japan and we just expect that everyone else should be able to forgive as well. But that is simply not the way that it works over there, and there is no long-term solution in the Middle East that is going to be acceptable to all sides. Right now, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Syria and Iran are all preparing for war. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in this current crisis, but that will only delay the inevitable. There will be war in the Middle East. Yes, politicians such as Barack Obama will do their best to broker more "peace agreements", but even the declaration of a "Palestinian state" will never stop the fighting. In fact, it would just set the stage for more war. I don't mean to sound pessimistic about the region, but the truth is that there will be more war until it is not possible to fight any longer. Any "peace plan" will just be a pause in the warfare.

You only have to believe the Bible to know this.

At the dawn of recorded history, the Middle East was at war.

The War started around 622 A.D.

The war will be fought until one side wins and the other side loses. When I mean win—they must consume and destroy the other side until there is no one left to wage war. It is a cold and terrible pronouncement but—I fear— True. No treaty will do—only a funeral. The Arabs must be pushed into the sea and killed—everyone, or the same will happen to the Jews. Not one will be left alive. The conflict will end only in a Holocaust for one side or the other. If I was an Israeli I would move to the USA as quickly as possible. I believe the Arabs have the edge—their religious fanaticism will win the day for them if it takes another 100 years.

Whenever an Obama Administration Official speaks, just negate what they say to discover the truth.

What do you mean, “will”?

“..dawn of recorded history, the Middle East was at war...”

Cain and Abel. It is a result of original sin (man’s fallen nature) and the scenario repeats in all conflicts down through history. This is precisely why a socialist atheist human U(dys)topia will not succeed. Humans can individually win over their own moral shortcomings by the use of their own free willpower - the collective can’t do it because it is impossible.

War is chronic in the M.E. Its always there. The level just rises and drops.

The difference is that this time there is a better chance that the scope would overflow to a much broader area...

You are forgetting the great “peacemaker” who will come along and make promises and be hailed as a saint, only to break his promises a few years later. If you believe Bible prophecy, that is.

And get a good radiation detector, if nuclear weapons are used the Fallout could reach us. Use the detectors to test the food and drink you consume. There was a run on all types in Japan and many consumed contaminated products.

Looks like the begining of the “end of the age” with this new “military flare-up” in the Middle East.

This is the “anti-christ” of the “greatest book of all time.”
