What it's Really All About

Mohammad Morsi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

You can believe that the current unrest in the Middle East is related to some hack video critical of Islam and its founding prophet that's been circulating on YouTube for several weeks. Or, you can believe the truth.

The truth is that Iran is facing a military invasion either by Israel, the United States, or a coalition of the U.S., Israel and western nations that see a nuclear Iran as a danger to both the Middle East and the entire world. The U.S. and some of its allies recently sent naval ships to the Strait of Hormuz to prevent Iran from blockading that shipping lane in the event the Persian nation is attacked. Middle Eastern nations export much their oil to the world through the Strait of Hormuz and a blockade would be devastating to the global economy.

In anticipation of this unavoidable military conflict, the Iranians have destabilized the Middle East through the extensive terror networks they control. The recent conflagrations in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Pakistan and Afghanistan are designed to send a powerful message to the United States that if it attacks Iran, the Persian state will retaliate by ordering Islamic terror groups to attack the U.S. and its interests all over the world. Not surprisingly, just days before violence erupted against American embassies throughout the Middle East, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid a visit to Egypt to meet with its newly elected President Mohammad Morsi, a longtime member of the Muslim Brotherhood which is one of the oldest terrorist organizations in the world.

Sadly, the Obama Administration, which has screwed up virtually everything it has touched, has attempted to appease the Islamic world by scapegoating a man named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula who uploaded that controversial amateur video to YouTube. Obama even sent Susan Rice, his ambassador to the United Nations out onto several major TV networks to lie for his inept administration by blaming Nakoula's video for the trouble throughout the Middle East. 

Rice's pathetic excuse that blames Nakoula for the trouble in the Middle East just emboldens Islamic fundamentalists by sending them the message that the United States won't defend its citizens or its values when it's attacked. And if you're unwilling to defend your values, then someone else will come in and impose their values on you. And that's what happening throughout western Europe and now in North America as clueless, liberal political leaders such as Barack Obama attempt to pacify Islamists through appeasement.

Ultimately, biblical prophecy reveals that the Iranians are going to be defeated by a powerful western nation which is most likely the United States. http://www.prophecyreviewonline.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=71604&columnid= This was a prophecy revealed directly by the arch-angel Gabriel to the Hebrew prophet Daniel (Daniel 8) 2,600 years ago and it's about to be fulfilled. The prophecy, according to Gabriel, "concerns the time of the end", (Daniel 8:17) so this event signals that we are really getting close to the return of Jesus Christ.

But until the end does come when Christ returns, we can expect to see a lot of very serious trouble for Christians throughout the world. Biblical prophecy also reveals that Christians will face intense persecution in the end times, (Daniel 7:26, Matthew 24:9, 2Timothy 3:12, 1Peter 4:12-19) and we are seeing that being fulfilled all over the planet. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula just happens to be a Coptic Christian, so he's already gotten a taste of that persecution.
