Current Events
Because of the current events happening in the Middle East right now, I decided to give the reader a Special Volume so you can see how close we are to the Rapture. I am praying for all of the readers of this Special Volume so you will tell your friends and family members. Maybe your friends or family members will accept Christ into their hearts before it is too late.
In order to get you caught up on the current events, I first must take you back three years ago to September. It was just about three years ago that Syria bragged about their nuclear power plant and how close they were to making a nuclear bomb. They stated there was nothing anyone could do to stop them from getting the bomb and, if anyone tried to stop them, they would not have any mercy on them. In other words, Syria would use whatever means they had to complete their mission.
Up to that point, Israel had been asking the United States and the Common Market to stop Syria from getting the nuclear bomb. Each time Israel asked the Common Market and the United States for help, all they received was the same old thing they had heard for years: We will see what we can do. Israel had heard enough. If the Common Market and the United States would not do anything about the problem, they would.
Israel sent a number of jets to Syria and bombed their nuclear power plant. The satellite picture, taken before the bombing, showed a large power plant with a number of smaller buildings. When the satellite took the pictures after the bombing, the power plant was completely gone, as were some of the smaller buildings.
The news media was never informed of the attack on Syria. There were a number of reasons why the news media and the world was not informed of the bombing immediately after it happened. The first reason was because of a mutual defense pact that Syria signed with Iran. This pact stated that an attack on either country would bring about a retaliatory attack from the country that was not attacked. If Iran had known about the attack on Syria, she would have had to attack the country that attacked Syria. We all know what would have happened if Iran would have attacked Israel.
The second reason the news media and the world was not informed of the attack on Syria was because of the Sam Missile Sites. The Russians pride themselves on the Sam Missile Sites being the best in the world. The sites may be the best against other countries, but when it comes to Israel, it is a different story. We need to remember that God is on Israel's side every time. If Syria would have told the world about Israel destroying their nuclear power plant, they would have lost face. Not only would they have lost face, but Russia would have lost face. The Sam Missile Sites were protecting the nuclear power plant. Not one plane was downed by the missile sites.
Those are two of the main reasons Syria did not say anything, but I believe the main reason is because of what might happen in the Middle East. If the world had been told about the attack right after it happened, it may have started World War III. More than likely, all of the other Arab countries in and around the Middle East would have gone to war with Israel. If this war would have started, it probably would have pulled the entire world into it. God is longsuffering and He will not let events occur until He is ready.
It was three to four months later when the world found out about the attack on the Syrian power plant. One reporter was wondering why there was nothing being said by Syria about their nuclear program. When asked a number of times, Syria would not say anything. It seemed strange to the reporter and to others how quiet Syria had been. One reporter asked a friend about a satellite picture. When the reporter saw the picture, he knew for certain the plant had been bombed. It only took a couple of days for the world to find out what Israel had done to the Syrian Nuclear Power Plant.
Since it had been over three months since the attack, Iran knew it was water under the bridge and they could not attack Israel for something that occurred back then. Other Arab countries also decided not to do anything, since it was not a current event. All countries involved and other countries that could get involved decided to take a "wait and see" prospective on what would happen in the future.
Now let us jump ahead to December of 2011. A news flash was sent from Iran to the world about a missile explosion. They stated that a missile exploded twenty six miles from Damascus. The explosion blew out windows in Damascus and the explosion was felt for over thirty five miles. I don't know about you, but this is not just another missile explosion, this is something really big. What kind of missile explosion could be felt for over thirty five miles?
Iran had one news conference after another and in each conference; they emphatically denied that Israel had attacked their missile site. If Israel had attacked the missile sites, it would mean that Syria would have to attack Israel and that would have started a Middle East war. If Israel would have attacked the Iranian missile site, it would mean that the Sam Missiles did not shoot down any planes, once again. If that were to happen, the Russians would have lost face once more in the Middle East. I might state that Israel said they did not attack Iran with fighter jets nor bomb her missiles sites.
Now let us jump one week later. A news flash was sent from Iran to the world about one of their nuclear power plants blowing up. They stated that the explosion could be felt for over thirty miles. Once more, they said that windows were blown out as far away as Damascus. Once again, Iran stated that the power plant was not bombed by any foreign country. Israel also denied the bombing of the power plant. Iran stated, over and over, that both explosions were accidents. I can accept one accident, but two within a week is too unlikely.
In January of 2012, Iran made a statement that they believe a foreign country sent a virus to their computers at both the missile site and the nuclear power plant that caused both to blow up. Israel, the United States, and the Common Market have all denied they had anything to do with the explosions.
In November of 2011, one month before the two sites in Iran were blown up, there were a number of things that happened that Israel responded to. The first was a tank build up along the Israel border with Syria. Israel sent three tank divisions to the border and, as far as I know, they are still there. Israel sent one tank division to the Lebanese border, because of the build up on that border. On the Egyptian border, Israel sent tanks there, because of the build-up of Egyptian forces.
One country after another was making threats to Israel. The one threat Israel took very seriously was from Syria. They stated that they had one thousand missiles aimed at Tel Aviv and, if Israel or any other country steps into their business, they will fire on Tel Aviv. Remember, Syria was almost in a civil war at that time and it is getting worse as each day passes.
Israel then made their statement to the world. They told all Arab Middle East countries that if ONE missile hits Tel Aviv, they will nuke Arab cities. This is not a threat from Israel; it is a fact of life. Isaiah 17:1 - The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. This prophecy has never been fulfilled. Damascus is the oldest continuous city in the world. She was founded in 3500 B.C. and she has never been destroyed since she was founded.
It is now February of 2012, and the war in Syria is getting worse and worse. Each day, we see more and more pictures of the war and the bloodshed. The Middle East is about to blow up and the war that the Antichrist will stop, is about to start. Yesterday, Iran stated that they are to the point that they will be able to make a nuclear bomb. They just didn't make the statement, but they were bragging on TV about their accomplishments. Before the day was out, Israel once again said if Iran or any other country in the Middle East attacks one of their cities or towns with germs or with nukes, they will totally destroy that Arab country. Basically, the warning was aimed at Iran.
I wrote this article on February 16, 2012.
The United States was asked by a company named "Swift," which is located in Brussels, Belgium, if they wanted to impose more sanctions on Iran. The United States has not answered back as of this writing. The sanctions that Swift could impose could bring Iran to her knees. Swift is the company that keeps the banking codes of the world. If any country had their codes pulled by Swift, it would only take hours to bring that country to her knees.
If Swift were to pull the codes on Iran, it would stop all banking in Iran and Iran would not be able to do business with any country in the world. It would freeze all of Iran's assets in other countries. In their own country, they would have to use only paper money, because the codes work, not only outside of Iran, but also inside of the country.
The Common Market has wanted to impose these sanctions on Iran for awhile, but it is the United States that continues to drag her feet. If the United States says to impose these sanctions on Iran, the Common Market will pull the plug on Iran and she will not have the codes to do any banking in the entire world.
One must remember that Brussels is the capital of the Common Market. In the Last Days, the Bible speaks about four world empires that will rule the world: Russia, (the king of the north), Egypt, (the king of the south), China, (will be the king of the east), and the Common Market, (the king of the west). The coming Antichrist will be over the Common Market. I do not care what anyone person on TV says or what you may hear on the radio, the United States is nowhere in the Bible. She is NOT a power in the End Time. The United States has either been destroyed or, because of her sins, she has become a third or fourth rated country. I believe when the Rapture occurs, she loses her backbone and her vision for world salvation. What was once a great country and a lighthouse to the world has now become like the Laodicean Church of the Last Days.
It could be the sanctions that the Common Market imposes on Iran by removing the banking codes from her computer system will cause Iran to attack Israel. If this were to happen, the other Arab countries may believe this is the time for them to attack and destroy Israel, once and for all. Israel knows one thing and that is that they can only lose one war. If they believe they are going to lose a war, they will call for the Samson Option.
The Samson Option was almost used in the 1973 War. Israel knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was going to be attacked by her Arab neighbors. Unlike the 1967 War when Israel knew she was going to be attacked, she struck first and totally destroyed the Arab countries air force. The world opinion was against Israel at that time and she knew, if she attacked the Arab countries first, in 1973, the world would once again be against her.
In 1973, Israel decided to wait until the Arabs attacked. When the Arabs attacked, they were winning every battle. The Sam Missile Site was knocking out the Israeli jets as fast as they were taking off. Day after day of defeat for Israel and then the decision was made. Golda Meir called for the key people in the government and she let them know they were on the verge of being defeated. She told them, if we lose this war, we lose our country. If we lose our country, we will make the Arab countries who are in this war, pay the price for their victory. She informed everyone that she was calling for the Samson Option.
When Ariel Sharon heard about the Samson Option, he decided he had to do something that would prevent Israel from using the Samson Option. He made an end run around the Arab forces and crossed the Suez Canal. He captured the Third Egyptian Army and was about to destroy them when the United States received a message from Russia. Russia had been watching what was happening and they said if Israel starts to destroy the Third Army, they would invade Israel. The United States went on full alert and was ready, if the Russians decided to invade Israel.
The United States told Israel not to destroy the Third Army. Israel thought about that and they decided that they did not need to destroy the Third Army; they would let nature take her course. The Egyptian Third Army was running low on water and food and they were totally surrounded by the Israeli Army. In the summer, in the Middle East the temperatures easily reach into the hundreds. Israel decided to see who would give in first.
The Russians continued to watch what was happening and that is when they gave the United States the option of a nuclear war or tell Israel to let the Third Army go back to Egypt. The result was a cease fire and a peace treaty.
The Samson Option I have spoke about is the price the Arab countries would have to pay if Israel was on the verge of losing a war. Remember, she can only lose one war while the Arab countries can lose war after war. If Israel was to use the Samson Option, they would use all of their nuclear bombs on all of the Arab countries that would be attacking her. It is estimated that Israel could possess at least one hundred nuclear bombs and, at the very most, it would be two hundred. Israel would use all of her bombs on all of the major cities and towns of the Arab countries.
Now, let's get back to today and the events that occurred yesterday. Iran has made her statements about the nuclear bomb and Israel has stated what she would do to any country that attacks her in anyway. If Swift removes the banking codes from Iran that could cause Iran to take drastic steps to avoid a complete melt down of their economy.
The Syrian civil war continues to grow and if the rebels do win the war, what does that do for the idea of peace? Syria is just like all the other Arab countries that have fallen in the last year. Once they fall, the Islamic Brotherhood will step in and take over. Once the Islamic Brotherhood has taken over the Arab countries around Israel, I believe they will then attack Israel. This is the war I see occurring right before the Rapture or right after the Rapture.
Things are occurring so fast in the Middle East, it is hard to keep up with everything. If you listen, you can almost hear the knocking at the door by our savior Jesus Christ. Each person that reads this should be telling as many people as you know about the Rapture and the coming events for the Tribulation. Even though this is a short reading, I hope it is full of things you should think about and the things you need to put into your heart.
One of these days and I believe it is this year, we are going to hear the shout, "Come up here" and those of us that are Christians will disappear off this planet called earth.
One last thought and that is that of a Christian. Some people believe that a Christian is a person that became a member of a church. Some believe that because their parents claim to be Christians, they are Christians. Some people believe if they get baptized that makes them a Christian. None of these things makes a person a Christian. The only way to become a Christian is to accept Jesus Christ into your heart. Once He comes to live in your heart, He will guide and direct you in the way you should walk. Basically what happens is that you have a personal relationship with the Son of God. You must realize that you were a sinner and, on a cross almost two thousand years ago, Christ died for your sins: past, present, and future. The gift that he gives is eternal life. If you want that eternal life, say this prayer or share it with someone that is not saved.
Lord, I know I am a sinner and I know You died on a cross for my sins. I know I am a sinner and You forgave me of my sins. I accept your free gift and want You to come into my life and live in my heart. I accept You as my personal Savior and I want to thank You for accepting me into Your Heavenly family, Amen.
UPDATE
I stated that I was finished, but things have occurred in the Middle East since I wrote the thing above. Two days ago, on February 20, 2012, Iran made the statement that she would make a preemptive strike against any country that she believes is going to strike her first. In other words, she is saying that she is going to strike Israel. The reason Iran has made those statements is because of the talk all over the world that Israel will probably attack Iran sometime in the spring. I believe with the statement from Iran, it forces Israel to attack Iran first. Not only that, but we sent a General to Israel and what he said was terrible.
He said, "A military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities is "not prudent" at the present moment, America's top military official, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, told "CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS" in an interview set to air Sunday morning. “It’s not prudent at this point to decide to attack Iran,” said Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the interview."I think it would be premature to exclusively decide that the time for a military option was upon us," Dempsey added, according to early reports of the interview, noting that he sensed that increased sanctions were beginning to have an effect. Dempsey's remarks come amid a rising tide of threats and speculation -- some of it media driven -- about the possibility that Israel might launch a military strike against Iran in an attempt to forestall that country's development of a nuclear weapon. American intelligence assessments say that Iran would have the capability to build a nuclear bomb in the coming years, but it has not yet decided whether to do so. In recent days, both Israel and Iran appear to have taken a number of steps escalating the tensions, including Iran's recent unveiling of the first domestically produced nuclear fuel rods and its decision over this weekend to move warships into the Mediterranean Sea for only the second time since 1979. Israelis seem increasingly poised to take military action sooner, rather than later, according to both Israeli and American officials, although some have indicated that the Israelis may be willing to let tough sanctions work a bit longer."
A number of days ago we sent nuclear inspectors to Iran to view their plants and yesterday, February 21, they were told they would not get to inspect the plants and were asked to leave the country. I believe Israel will strike the nuclear power plants in Iran and I believe war in the Middle East cannot be averted.

About the author:
L.C. Walker thought about writing in 1970, but other things kept him from doing so. In 1979, he had the desire to write again, but Bible College kept him from that dream. In 1997, he wanted to share what the Bible had to say about the end times, so he began his first novel. He completed The Past or the Coming Future in 1998. His new book, Book of the Archangels Volume 1 is a free read and is now available. He just made Can I Have A Second Chance into a free read. This book is a complete novel of over 86,000 words.
