Good to see people knowing the difference between Sunni and Shia. Most have no idea Iran ( Shia) has threatened many times in blowing up Mecca( Sunni). They are mortal enemies. That said, I do believe our blessings in America are tied to Genesis:
…2I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” 4So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five year old”.
...this promise explains many things. Ever wonder why 90 percent of Islamic nations are mired in poverty? ...why the Sunni and Shia are massacring each other at historic rates? ...why a God fearing America could rise to a world leader with the highest standard of living? .....Athiests and Luke warm Christians take note: this promise of blessing Israel extends to you and your family...i have been supporting the Nation of Israel for 20 years, my blessings have been great and many.
Iran has promised to destroy Mecca years ago, now for the Biblical question for scholars- most are not aware of the Biblical phrophecy of the city of “ seven hills”....being destroyed for having misled many, I worked in Saudi years back, guess what I learned? Mecca , like Constantinople, Rome, and a few others are surrounded by 7 Hills. The historic Sunni Shia bloodbath in progress may , and I say may , fulfill Biblical prophecy. As always, read prophecy with an open mind and do not get to wrapped up in it.
