It is no coincidence that as America has turned it's back on God and Israel, we find ourselves hurtling towards destruction, in tremendous debt, a stalled economy, and corruption gripped, worthless leadership.  

The only hope for our country is to turn back to God. 

Now, concerning the current crisis in the Middle East, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that leaders are pressuring Israel to divide her land with open terrorists who are publicly and repeatedly declaring their intentions of destroying Israel.  In fact, this position is so outrageous that leaders are either completely naive or actually engaged in subtle warfare against Israel.  Considering Obama's secret history, his appointment of czars and Muslim Brotherhood (terrorist) supporters in the White House, his bypassing of Congress to arm, finance, and release known terrorists, and his increasing distanced stance against Israel recently evidence by the cutting off of aid and the stopping of military equipment shipments, it appears Obama may have very well been placed into power in order to completely isolate Israel from her primary ally.  This would mean the 'Arab Spring' immediately after Obama's inauguration was no coincidence either.

Interestingly, the coalition of nations preparing for war against Israel today was prophesied also by Ezekiel around 2,500 years ago in chapter 38, and this coming battle was prophesied to take place in the 'latter years.'  Check out my "Last Hour" page via right hand link, and my previous blog entitled "Ezekiel."  And let me know if I can improve your reading experience.  Thanks for reading!
