Discover KEY End Time Prophecies that Syria is fulfilling today
8 warning signs that could indicate that WW III – Armageddon is closer than we may think
Robert Rite (10/19/16) – Most prophecy scholars believe that World War III is referred to as Armageddon in the bible (Rev. 16:16). Other related terms are the “great tribulation” and “apocalypse”. However the latter refers to a period of great chaos, atrocities and calamities that span a seven year period of time, while Armageddon is the final war that takes place during the apocalypse – leading to the second coming of Messiah.
In this message we will review the following:
Current Events of Great Concern
The Key Players in WW III
ISIS role in WW III
Which End Time Prophecies are lining up today
Why is all of this happening so rapidly?
Current Events of Great Concern:
Based on ancient prophecies (i.e. Isaiah 17; Ezekiel 38) compared with current events, Syria may be the Catalyst for the coming battle of Armageddon, and Russia will lead a horde of nations that invade Israel at the Valley of Megiddo (Armageddon). let’s review a few situations surrounding Syria of great concern:
1) A new cold war has suddenly re-emerged between Russia and the USA over Ukraine and Syria
2) Russia has deployed advanced anti-missile systems to Syria, which threatens Israel’s air superiority. In fact, Israeli jets flying over Syria were fired upon for the first time.
3) Russia is in a frenzy to modernize its nuclear complex. In fact, Russia recently announced that it is in the production stage of a missile appropriately called “Satan 2“; a missile with the kill capacity to destroy a country the size of France or a very large State the size of Texas! It is not in service yet, but the point is that all of this saber-rattling fulfills Christ’s warning that there would be these kinds of “rumors of wars” at the time of the end.
4) Russia has already established a stronghold in Syria with 1 or more bases in that area.
5) Iran is also engaged in Syria, vis-a-vis its terror group Hezbollah.
6) Turkish troops are fighting in Syria. They are fighting the Kurds, one of very few US allies in the Middle East.
7) Most alarming, Just like happened during the cold war era, Russia has recently warned its citizens to prepare for war – some accounts report that they were warned specifically to prepare for “nuclear war“! Russia has reportedly also engaged in evacuation drills with 40 million or so of its citizens, and activated underground shelters!
8) As already alluded, I believe Russia, Iran and Turkey are in Syria not necessarily to fight ISIS, but rather to fight the forces opposed to Assad. So in effect they are fighting against America, and its allies which oppose Assad and ISIS.
The Key Players in WW III
Ezekiel 38 identifies the following nations as being involved in the Battle of Armageddon. Based on Ezekiel 38, combined with ancient mapping, and ethnology studies, it is believed that this is a list of the modern day names for the key players:
- Persia: modern day Iran, which in ancient times also included the nations of Pakistan and Afghanistan
- Gog, Magog, Rosh: modern day Russia
- Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah: modern day Turkey
- Ethiopia: modern day Sudan, and Somalia
- Put: modern day Libya
- Sheba and Dedan: modern day Saudi Arabia which is not part of the invading forces against Israel (BTW, neither is Egypt or Jordan)
- Merchants of Tarshish and all her young lions: Some believe that these refer to modern day Britain and America – and these nations also protest but are not involved in defending Israel.
Important Notes:
- Make no mistake about it; I do NOT believe that the Ezekiel 38 list of nations is an all inclusive list. Understand that many nations of today did not exist at the time these prophecies were penned. What the list does make clear however, is that this is going to be a World War so that many other nations may also be involved.
- As noted, Sheba and Dedan (modern day Saudi Arabia) and the Merchants of Tarshish with her young lions are also listed in Ezekiel 38 but these are nations that stand down and only protest the invasion.
- Some believe that the Merchants of Tarshish with all her young lions refer to Britain and the United States. If so, then why are they sidelined? Have they been neutralized just prior to the Ez. 38 invasion of Israel? Even this inactivity would make sense given America’s current resistance to getting involved in any major military battles, especially involving boots on the ground.
ISIS Role in WW III
While the Islamic State (ISIS) is indeed a serious force that needs to be neutralized, I believe that schemers may be using this sinister entity as a smokescreen concealing a secret global agenda.
The point is that ISIS is not going to be the end time “beast kingdom“ (global government), as it could be crushed rather quickly if the nations “really” made a concerted effort to wipe it out. What I am starting to perceive is that perhaps they are being used as a pawn in a chess game that the global elite perhaps may not really want to wipe out, at least not yet. After all, they can use ISIS and other terror groups as a scapegoat for the establishment of a global government. They would claim that such a global government would provide protection, safety, security and peace by wiping out all of these terrorist organizations.
Of course they can fabricate a host of other reasons for globalization such as an economic collapse, a devastating global war, or other calamity as an excuse for fulfilling Satan’s plan for the kingdoms of this age. And I am sure that given enough panic and terror, most of the uninitiated, would welcome a one world government. They have no clue that it will turn out to be a totalitarian government which the prophecies label as the end time “beast kingdom” (Rev. Ch. 13 and 17), because of all the atrocities that it will spew out.
As a result of the world evolving into an end time version of the days of Noah as foretold by Christ in Matthew 24:37, God will allow the beast kingdom to take over for the last few years of this age. Let’s read:
“For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.“ Rev. 17:17
Which End Time Prophecies are lining up today
Below are just a few prophecies that are at the cusps of fulfillment should the Syrian war escalate and the troops amassing in Syria today are used in a subsequent invasion of Israel which is exactly what the following prophecies have already foretold will happen!
The following passage makes it clear that the situation in Syria will get much worse!
Isaiah 17:1 “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.” (Damascus is Syria).
Ezekiel Ch. 38 and 39: I believe that once Russia assists Assad in taking Syria back, that a consortium of nations will conspire under Russian leadership to mount a furious attack against Israel. This evil plan may have been already foretold in the following passage:
Ezekiel 38:10 – “Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan…”
And the evil plan will be to invade Israel; and God’s Holy land – Jerusalem. Note how God declares in the passage below that Israel is HIS land…
Ez. 38:15-16 – “…You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
And it will not work out well for all the nations that invade Israel at Armageddon…
Zech 12:3 – “… And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.”
Why is all of this happening so rapidly?
It certainly appears to be happening in a hastened manner, doesn’t it? And this hastening by the way was also prophesied to occur at the time of the very end (Zeph. 1:14)
I believe it is now happening in an expedited manner because the cup of iniquity is full! For example, in America our moral fabric, the Judeo-Christian morals by which we were founded – the foundation that made us great is crumbling before our very eyes (Psalm 11:3; Psalm 11:6-7). God’s favor and hedge of protection may already have been removed, because our system of Justice, truth, morality, decency, and integrity is broken.
Is it Too Late?
We need revival in America. Can it happen? YES, but honestly, what are the chances of that happening? Will it take World war III or worse for this nation and its people to repent from the direction they have chosen?
Let’s consider the following sad realities of the spiritual state of many:
- Most people today no longer believe that the bible is relevant, holy, or the inspired word of the sovereign God.
- Most have fallen for the delusion that there are many ways to God; a belief which negates the gospel message of salvation.
- The name of Jesus Christ is shunned while the bible and Christians are ridiculed by too many, especially the younger generation who have been denied the truth from the very beginning by the government, and educational schools and institutions!
Friends in Christ, we are getting very close. Some day in the near future, messages such as this one will be banned because a coming global government and religion will need to keep the people ignorant of the truth. The truth will be intolerable and they will label it as “hateful”! It will be burdensome and offensive to the inhabitants of the earth; it will burn their blackened soul. The bible will be banned and most could care less, because they will have sold out to the spirit and things of a fallen world.
We may or may not be able to turn our nation and the world back to God, but we ourselves can repent and turn back to our Lord and savior before it’s too late.
