Christians Look At Syrian Conflict As Fulfillment Of Biblical Prophecy
De BISAWiki
The only disappointing thing about Stoner’s book is that he spiritualizes the reference to days in Genesis, concluding that they refer to periods of time of indefinite length. Accordingly, he concludes that the earth is approximately 4 billion years old. In his defense, keep in mind that he wrote this book before the foundation of the modern Creation Science Movement which was founded in the 1960′s by Dr. Henry Morris. That movement has since produced many convincing scientific arguments in behalf of a young earth with an age of only 6,000 years. Peter Stoner’s Calculations Regarding Messianic Prophecy
Walter Brueggemann, professor emeritus of Columbia Theological Seminary and an expert on the book of Isaiah, tells TIME the interpretation of Isaiah 17 as a reference to the current conflict is absurd. “You cannot read the Bible that way. It is an ancient poem about an ancient context,” he said. “If we are going to contemporize it with such an easy connection then we have to learn to read the text against the United States as well because the United States now plays the role of Babylon and all those ancient superpowers. We have to tread very gently about making such silly connections.”
There are many things Biblical scholars are pointing to about this visit, that signifies that end time Bible prophecy is taking place. For one thing, Obama will be arriving in Jerusalem 6 days before passover. This is when Jesus also arrived in Jerusalem. The Bible says when the first seal is opened, the antichrist will imitate Jesus. Is this what's happening here? Some Bible scholars say it is! He will only be there for one week, and they say this is also significant, as they say it mirrors the fact that the antichrist shall confirm a covenant with may for 1 week. Is this a sign?
Literally anyone with enough experience and ability to see clearly can make market predictions but knowing the direction that an entire nation or the world itself is taking, requires revelation. Some things are obvious because they are covered in biblical prophecy Other matters require only simple observation such as noticing that while our head of homeland security scoffs at the idea of a coming "New World Order," we have a Commander in Chief who wouldn't lift a finger to save lives in Libya until the "International Community" made a final decision to set up a no fly zone over that nation.
Well let's see. It is apparent that Israel is in a desperate situation. Netanyahu had originally said that Iran would have until the end of March to come to the table for peace talks, or Israel would be forced to strike. This is really a last resort, because if Israel did this, much of the Muslim The End Times world and maybe Russian and China would come against them. They already have the world condemning them for the settlement building in the West Bank. So it is apparent that much of the world would want the Palestinians to have their own state, and are starting to go against Israel anyway.
It is only then that we see the trumpet being blown for the angels to gather the elect in the rapture. It is no accident that our Lord put this blowing of the trumpet here. He wanted us to see when the rapture actually occurred so we wouldn't be fooled by today's leaders who are saying the rapture occurs before the tribulation even begins. He desired to protect His own from this deception which would come upon the whole world. This is why Jesus told us specifically not to listen to those who would preach in His name, yet preach false doctrine as to the timing of His return.
