THIS IS MY THEORY, I MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT IT SURE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT !

THOUSAND'S OF VOLUMES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN

If one wants to get really technical, the fact is the first book written on the demise of mankind was the last book of the Holy Bible. The Revelation or the " The Revelation's of St. John ", has been one of the most analyzed and disputed writing's in the history of all mankind. For centuries the book was pretty much written off as a diary of sort's for the dreams that the writer had while he slept. Then the concept came about that these were coded messages from John while he was in prison to the Outside Church. It would not be for another millennium that the concept came about that this book might actually be Prophecy of the future.

I do need to pause here and insert and warning label of sort's. I AM NOT A BIBLICAL SCHOLAR OR PROFESSIONAL THEOLOGIAN ! What I am however, is a very devoted Christian that does love to read the Bible and have spent my fare share of time in pews and listened to those that are qualified to discuss this topic with a great deal of authority. While I could and probably should write this in a very technical format, I choose to keep it simple and write the HUB in a manner that most will enjoy reading. With the disclaimer's out of the way and the set up in place, let's get started on my theory of what might possibly be going on here.

THOUSANDS OF  writing's and books have been written over some two thousands years now, as the Christian faithful have been waiting for our Messiah to return. All of them offering interpretation's on when and how the Jesus would return.  The Jewish faithful have been waiting patiently for their Deliverer as well. The Christian's diagram of this event is spelled out in the book of Revelation's. The book for those of you that have never read it, is technically not what we consider a book today. It is more of a diary than anything else, and it doesn't take very long at all to read. What it is though, is actually quite scary if your not a faithful believer. Your reading what ( if it is true ) is basically the way the " End of the World " will play out. Personally speaking, what I am witnessing today in the Middle East, I have never more convinced that the book is in fact Prophecy and is playing out on television before our very eyes. Allow me to make my argument, then I look forward to all of your responses on my lunacy or accuracy.

BACKGROUND AND EVENTS ~~

With any explosion you need to something to trigger the fireball. Today we have it. Currently as I type this on February 2, 2011 here is the powder keg that is about to be lit. But first before the end comes we need the WAR TO END ALL WARS, that being the " War of Armageddon ". According to the Bible we have to endure the War of Biblical proportions that will affect the entire earth. This will be the war that allows God to once again intervene in man's affairs and he displays his incredible might. According to prophecy, Israel will be attacked and virtually overwhelmed by forces from all directions. God will intervene and destroy all those that oppose Israel. Just prior to this major event, all the countries on earth will turn on Israel and she will be left to fend for herself against these massive armies. Now let's take a look at what is actually going on.

  1. EGYPT IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A REVOLUTION and I do not believe that any other description is applicable. This is a Revolution anyway you slice it. Who rises to power as of today, nobody knows. What is certain is this. It is most assuredly not looking for stability.
  2. KING ABDULLAH of Jordon is now on the hot seat and riots are beginning to break out. The King fired his leaders in most departments a few days ago trying to stem the tide of rioting and unrest in the Middle East. But unfortunately, it is spilling into the Kingdom.
  3. YEMEN is also very unstable and rioting and unrest is taking hold in this oil giant as well. Yemen is about to begin burning if history is any indicator.
  4. LEBANON was seized a couple of weeks ago by the Terrorist Group " Hezbollah ".
  5. SYRIA IS ALSO BURNING AND FILLED WITH UNREST AND RIOTING.
  6. SAUDIA ARABIA is beginning to feel the pain of the rest. The Royal Family is afraid as the Muslim Brotherhood is now targeting this Kingdom. Protest are being organized as I write this HUB.
  7. Tunisia is currently burning and fell also to Terrorist Organization's.
  8.  The Obama Administration has for all intents and purposes turned it's back on Israel. This is been done by their support of the protesters and rioters. To make matters worse, they have no idea who will be in charge once this is all over. The fellow that has been Israel's allie for over 30 years ( meaning Egypt ) is now on the brink of disaster and we have no idea who is running things. This is a massive disaster in the making.

What is the common denominator to all these crises happening ? THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD !! If you not familiar with these folks, allow me to introduce you to them. The Muslim Brotherhood was organized back in the late 1920's. These are fundamentalist that adhere to Sharia Law. This is the group that spawned such fine organizations as " Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Bin Laden and many others that I cannot spell. This is the group that helped with organizing 9 1 1 and many of the terrorist acts that have been done on Western interest or the U.S.A.. The Brotherhood was also instrumental in taking Iran back to the Stone Age by dethroning the Shah of Iran and installing the Ayatollah. They have managed to overthrow government's and causing mass rioting and unrest.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ?

Revelation's has chapter after chapter dealing with " Good vs Evil ". Meaning that Christians and Jews will have to endure attacks and wars from the other side. Nowhere in the Bible does it describe the Islamic or Muslim faith as being good. In fact I am going to go out on a limb here and just say this. It is my belief that the Muslim faith was actually spawned by Satan himself. Before you scream bloody murder and threaten to hang me, allow me to explain my point of view and this could actually be an entire HUB in and of itself. But how did the faith begin? It began when Abraham and Sarah lost faith in God. ( sin number 1 )..Sarah brings the Concubine into the tent to give them a child. Yes, the first surrogate pregnancy. And thus Ishmael ( The father of the Muslim faith ) was born to Haggar. Then Sarah turns up pregnant and they had their first child when Sarah was 99 years old. Haggar and Ishmael were thrown out and that was the end of the story. Many Pastors and Ministers ( of the Christian faith ) say that the entire act was sin, because of the lack of faith in the Lord, therefore the entire religion was born of sin. Where does sin originate ?

Now take a look at what is happening in the Middle East. Iran has sworn to eradicate Israel from the planet. Egypt attacked Israel once and nearly destroyed her. Now the Muslim Brotherhood has already announced to the Egyptian Army to prepare to go to war again against Israel. We already know how Hezbollah feels about Israel. Particularly since they have lobbed thousands of little rockets on her head. We know how Hamas feels also. The common denominator in all this is " MUSLIM AND ISLAMIC FAITHFUL ". To me if you love God and God is love, why do you want to destroy people and nations? The answer is, you do not. So what loving God teaches you to murder women if they forget a vale or hug a man on the street ? What loving God teaches you to destroy people that disagree with you? Think about this..Seriously think about it. It is a perversion of the Holy scriptures is what it is. Who creates perversions of scriptures ? Satan !

NOW WE NEED A BEAR !

Alright we have the Muslim hoards set up to invade Israel, but what about the bear ? According to scripture, Gog and Magog have to invade the Holy Land. Who are they ? According to Biblical scholars Magog or Gog ( according to whom you listen too ) all agree this is Russia. So what would cause Russia to invade Israel ? Alliances ? Oil ? Desire to regain their status as a super power ? All have merit and lately Russia has in fact began to flex it's muscles again. I can see clealy how Russia might in fact be very willing to take the short trek south and offer help to some of it's allies. Would President Obama be willing to stand on Israel's side if this happens ? I truly do not think so. We have been weakened because of Afghanistan and Iraq. We are strung out and I just do not believe that Obama would be willing to take that sort of risk. You have to also keep in mind that if Russia did do something of this nature along with Egypt, Syria, Iran and several more, the numbers would be overwhelming even for America. This would be a war that would not have a winner. The only way we could win something like this would be with tactical nuclear weapons. This brings into the scriptures where it talks about all the water being poisoned, blood running like rivers and all the food being destroyed. What causes that ? Nuclear fallout and radiation !

This is a war that if it started would be over very quickly because of the size of the battlefield. Israel is not very large. When you put that many people in that concentrated of an area, then it ends just about as fast as it started.

CONCLUSION AND THEORY:

It is my theory that something is about to happen and it will not be good. I can just feel it in my bone marrow. Egypt's falling, Jordon in the hot-seat, Syria, Lebanon falling to Terrorist, Iran's hatred of Israel as well as the rest. The " Holy War " mentality that has permeated the mindset of these people for thousands of years. The creation of the Jewish State ( it is prophesied in Revelations ) in 1947 if one believes in the Bible, began the clock ticking. The rising of Russia again, the economy, the riots, the unrest in the region. The lack of oil and the cost of oil on a global scale and the ( believe this or not ) political correctness all make for a giant powder keg that is about to blow up. It is my contention that Iran will most probably be the one to light this giant powder keg. Iran will use the unrest in the region as an excuse to exercise her desires to attack Israel. She will bank on the fact that Obama will probably back down and she will be emboldened by the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The minute that the crazy man from Iran figures out that the Egyptian Army will defend Muslim intentions, it is game over.....And now we have Armageddon !

Are you ready ? For if this is truly Biblical which I believe it is, then the next thing that happens is that God brings his Children home. Are you ready ? Are you a Christian ? If this is Biblical, then that validates the Bible in total. And if the Bible is validated, then you need to know that you will not reside in heaven with the Lord if your not a Christian. Read the Bible, do your homework. You decide for yourself. Pray about it.

Until next time, May God Bless each of you....Leave your thoughts, I want to hear. Am I crazy, or am I imagining all of this ? Is this or could this be happening ? Let's hear it....

Ken,

Let me put it this way..... I do NOT think you are crazy.

This may be one of the most "useful" hubs on the whole site.

Religion is used to create fear. Fear is used to create war. Do you live your life using religious belief to justify your thoughts and actions? Living life as good person is derived from common sense, not a book.

CMerritt: Thank you so very much for the " useful " compliment. I am most grateful for the kind words.

Janglin: Quite a bit of credibility is given to folks such as Nostradamus and others whom throughout history have had the ability to foresee the future. The fact is, it is proven that people have been able to do this. How they derive their power to do so can certainly be up for discussion, but it is not up for discussion that they could or can do it. It is proven ! They wrote books, told of the future and the future came to pass. Simple as that.

If I write a book and discuss all of my reasons why Russia will invade and wipe out Poland next week and 8 people read my book, they leave Poland, the rest laugh. They are killed by the Russian Army. Should those 8 be grateful that they believed what was written?

The fact is I could get really techinical with you, but I would recommend you read " Revelations " yourself. So far St.John is batting a 1000% on his Revelations. EVERYTHING he has said would come to pass has in fact come to pass. Christianity aside, Nostradamus is also batting about 985 on his predictions upto and including dates and times and whom would be involved. They have even been running specials on the History Channel about this, simply because it is so eerily coming to fruitition. Thanks for the comments and feel free to debate anytime you like...Best Wishes...

This is not the beginning of Armegeddon? First is the Rapture followed by 7 years of tribulation. After the tribulation Jesus comes with all the saints and fights the battle of Armegeddon and then He sets up His 1000 year reign on the earth. I believe the Rapture is in the very near future.

Linda: Thank you for your comments and you might very well be correct. I do know that Theologians have disagreed for centuries on whether " Christian's get raptured " prior to the Great War or after. I also know that their is a great war and this is the war that gives power to the future " Anti-Christ " for he is the one that steps in and creates peace....Anyway, interesting topic and it is both scary and fun to discuss. Thanks again and have a great day.

We are told that before the great tribulation,Armegeddon is begun by Christ Jesus that there will be a day known by Christians as the day of Rapture. This must take place before the seven years of Tribulation that follows.

Greatly useful hub! I've been wondering whether Islam is the beast of Revelation. Wrote a hub a while back on the 4 horsemen seeming to fit this. The Muslim Brotherhood fits right in there, I think. Am expecting the antichrist to be the Islamic Mahdi that the Shia in Iran are all hot about. Any thoughts on that? There's no denying, things are heating up for the end! So glad to see your hub on this :)

Ken Crow Hub Author 15 months ago

Ms. Dee: Many thanks for the thumbs up....To be honest with you, I have not given much thought to who might be the Anti-Christ. I am thinking and this is just me, we have to have a major war first. IE: Egypt, Iran etc attacking Israel. The Anti-Christ will be the fellow that steps up and put's an end to it and brings peace to the region. He will be super charasmatic as Obama is, and a phenominal orator as is the President. NO, it is not nor will it be Obama. But it will be someone good looking and super suave as the President is. That will be the truly bad fellow....Pray and pray hard.....And I agree with everything you said....

did any one see the vison above the dome of the rock feb 6, 2011 in Israel, where Jesus is to appear? things are indeed getting interesting. i will still pray the egyptians people wake up and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior as i do for all. during the 70's=80's the Holy Ghost woke up many in Isral and i have some Christian Jewish friends that are now in Israel. God also woke up many in america,of all denominations. pray for israel as Christians we are grated on, thank God. Revelations= God, Jesus,+Holy Spirit won and so do we covered by HIs blood not by any works, lest we should boast. These are indeed the best of times the worst of times. Come Lord Jesus,come.

Wow it's not very often I come across a bigotted christian with vile un-christian terminology, and false statements that have been taken off of news channels, with your comments such as "Muslim Hoards" "Terrorist Hezbollah" and "Iran has sworn to eradicate Israel" (a completely untrue statement that has been verified as being so, since you last heard it off the cheap news channels you must watch). Obviously you have very little scholarly intellect, which is patently obvious through your vicious racist and repugnant attacks upon followers of another religion, whome you seem to paint with the same evil brush you hold in your hand, as all of them being the same.

Time you went back to prayer and ask dear Father in Heaven what turned you into such a hate filled un-christian like person.

Mr. Foley: Thank you for your input. As for watching " News Channels ", yes like everyone else, I do in fact watch News. As for the " Muslim Hoards ", when I watch hundreds of thousands of people flying their Religious Flags and " taking down " governments, I do have to wonder. As for erradicating Israel, Yes, in fact I watched Iran's leader give several speeches over the years on American Soil at the United Nations. I was QUOATING the Iranian dictator.

Do not try to infer that I am uneducated, I am not. I was in Iran back in 1979-1980, I know what these people do. If I have offended you by speaking the truth, then I am truly sorry. BUT IT IS THE TRUTH.

THE MUSLIM IMAMS, many of them are in fact working for World Domination by Muslims. That is a fact ! Get over it, it is true. I would submit to you being from London, maybe you need to view what David Cameron your Prime Minister said just last week regarding " Mulitculturalsim "...You might be fascinated to know this.

As for being a " RACIST ", I am not one. I simply call a spade a spade. I tell the truth. You might not like it, but I tell it anyway...Best wishes and thanks again for your comments.

There was a time when I would have arrived at the same conclusion as yourself and by using the same methods of deduction. However in recent years I have approached the subject of the 'End Times' in a different way and have reached a completely different conclusion.

Rather than depend for example, on news media reports and current affairs for my theological understanding, I now try only to interpret what the Scriptures say on a given subject. The idea is to let Scripture interpret Scripture, because in my opinion that is where the answers lie.

No offense intended, but there is not one actual quote from the Scriptures in this article. Although there are allusions to what some Dispensationalist preachers might claim and have been claiming for years.

I believe that 'The Revelation' was written for the 1st century Church, to encourage and assure them that although they were suffering terrible persecution, Jesus would keep the Promises He made about His imminent return.

'The Revelation' was not written about events thousands of years in the future.

Much of your article might be correct regarding the possibility of a major war because of the Middle East crisis, but in my opinion it cannot be substantiated by the Scriptures.

I have written a few Hubs and intend to write more on this subject soon.

GB aka Searchinsany: I did not write this HUB based upon any " specific " revelation or theory in mind. I am not one of the " DOOMSDAYERS " RUNNING Around and saying " The end is Near " type of thing. I wrote this because my brother and I were " theorizing " not so long ago in a "what if" manner. With that said, I will say, " I do believe some of this is Biblical ". For the fact is Revelations does speak of Israel being attacked by enemies and the fact is that Islam is a violent religion whom their leaders have sworn to destroy Israel.

I don't know, just as you don't, Harry doesn't, Bill doesn't nor does Sally know. None of know for sure. The Christian Church today is split about 50-50 on whether Revelations is in fact prophesy or merely dreams or coded messeges to the outside Church as you state. We will never know until or if it does happen.

I view it as something fun to speculate about and if it is truly prophesy then as a Christian it is my obligation to let non-believers know it could be true. That is all I am doing. I do thank you for your input and your well stated input. You obviously are well versed on these topics. Again, thank you and no I am not a fruit cake screaming from the mountains. I am merely a Christian saying " what if "? Ken
