Jews, Muslims and Christians on Significance of Mideast Turmoil

Israel Today speaks to Jews, Muslim and Messianic believers in Israel regarding current Middle East turmoil; all agree that it is as much spiritual as physical, and that Messiah is coming soon. This is not only the opinion of Israel’s Orthodox rabbis, but also of Messianic Jews here in the Land and Christians abroad. Even Muslims are interpreting current events in the Middle East as “a sign from heaven.”
For Jews, Muslims and Christians alike, the uproar in the Arab world is not just a political issue; it is a spiritual one. 

Indeed, our Lord Jesus, before He went to the cross, prophesied that there will be turmoil in the gospel of Matthew 24: 3-14

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, ' and will deceive many.

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Indeed, all that Jesus had prophesied have come to pass. With the global connectivity through the internet, the gospel has been preached to the entire world. Millions are watching webcasts of Christian messages on their cable channels in the comfort of their homes as well as getting the messages downloaded onto their computers and watching these programs and millions are being saved daily. The tide had started and is sweeping across all nations around the global and this includes those countries where Christianity is not welcomed.

So, the end is indeed very very near and will soon be upon us. Are you ready when Jesus comes back? In fact there will be a first warning - all the Christians disappear (we get raptured and taken back to Heaven) in the twinkling of an eye (atomic second) and all those who have yet to receive Jesus into their hearts as Lord and Savior will remain and trust me, the conditions of life will be worse than what it is now.  So you have been forewarned.
