2 | when we go to war with iraq will we end? | Matt 24:44 | Robert Nicholson | 66933 | ||
Greetings blondechick198: I think it would be helpful if you were to study the map of the Middle East at http://www.sitesatlas.com/Maps/Maps/MEast.htm You will notice that Israel is not in Iraq. Modern Iraq has a population of 24 million people. Seventy-five percent are Arabs, 15-20 percent are Kurdish and the remainder are Turkoman, Assyrian or another ethnic group. Israel represents the children of Abraham, once called Hebrews, then Israelites and Jews. The Bible does not say anything about World War 3. In fact many people made predictions on the future at the time of World War Two and such predictions were in error. I believe that the end of the age (world) will be brought about by the coming of Christ to the earth in power and in glory. His disciples were promised this in Acts 1:11. Even at that time the disciples were wanting to know about end times. Jesus told them "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power" Acts 1:7 In Matt. 24 Jesus discussed the signs of the times. He told the people "But of the day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only" v.36 Jesus continues to explain how things will be before his coming. "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took they all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" Matt. 24:37-39 I believe that we must be careful in making predictions on current events. However, it is very important that we are aware that the time is drawing near. The Lord Jesus Christ gave us this exhortation "Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man cometh" Matt. 24:44 The Bible teaches that just before the Lord comes that the armies of earth will surround Israel and at that point Christ will come and judge all those who are against him. However, we do not know for sure when this event will take place. Hope this helps Robert |
