| Résumé : |
• How will the new Mideast crisis affect the world supply of oil?
• What will the crisis do to the alignment of nations in the Middle East? • Will Israel survive Arab attempts to push it from the Holy Land? • Do current events point to the final global war Armageddon? In the last twenty years we have seen the economic, political, and military power that flows from the oil wells of the Middle East. Such concentration of power explains why the Bible points to the Middle East as the stage for the final battle of Armageddon and the second coming of Christ, according to noted Bible scholar Dr. John Walvoord. The military struggle in the Persian Gulf now focuses attention away from Korea, Vietnam, and the battlefields of Europe, and onto the Middle East. This is exactly what the Bible anticipates in its prophecies of the end time. The world stage is set for a showdown. A sample of this book's chapter headings shows the buildup of today's events and how they relate to the second coming of Christ: Armageddon Calendar, The Israel-Arab Conflict, Oil Blackmail, Changing Europe, The Coming Middle East Peace/ The Coming World Dictator, Armageddon -, The World's Death Struggle. |
