Too many people have not taken their history lessons seriously, or see no important reason for having learned the lessons in the first place, and these people have put themselves into a room with no windows. History begins for them at the moment of their own birth, and all they can relate to is what few life experiences they have had.These unfortunate, self-deprived individuals are attracted to others with the same shallow views of life, lessons learned mostly while attending liberal colleges and universities. They view themselves as being smarter and brighter than anyone else. They are told that they must be the ones to make the world a better place. They join a cause to give meaning and purpose to their shallow lives. They become involved in the anti-war movement, environmental movements, or some other well-meaning cause. These "enlightened ones" become sponges for all the indoctrination and propaganda, both subliminally and superficially, as they are being fed the lies and distortions of the left-wing saturated academia. Every new cause becomes a new religion. Josef Stalin referred to this kind of person as a "useful idiot", and he manipulated these so-called brightest and smartest to advance the Communist Manifesto, gaining control and forming the Soviet Union. Since "useful idiots" never study history, or take the lessons of history seriously, they do not realize that people just like they are allowed Hitler to grab power in the 1930's. They are the same people who allowed the Communists to become the dominant force in Europe during the Cold War. These deceived people failed to see that what they became were political slaves, simply because of their "enlightened " pacifism. By the time they realized what was happening, their own dissent tactics were held against them, and they were the first ones hauled off to the gulags.
On September 2, 1945, General Douglas MacArthur was on board the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay when the Japanese formally surrendered to the United States and the Allies in Pacific. In an address following the ceremony, he said: "As long as we ignore the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat it." He later commented on the utter destructiveness of the atomic bomb, a destructiveness which quickly brought the war to an end: "Military alliances, Leagues of Nations, all in turn have failed, leaving the only path to be by the way of the crucible of war. The utter destructiveness of war now blocks out this alternative. We have had our last chance. If we will not devise some greater and equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door."
Over and over, history has shown us that no "magic" system exists, and that spineless negotiations do not work. The United Nations is a corrupt organization, with most of the member nations holding an anti-American stance, and nearly all of the nations anti-Semitic. Negotiations and appeasement only postpone the inevitable, and our enemies that are hell-bent on our demise look at our inaction as weakness on our part.
Since the obvious lessons of history have been ignored, nuclear annihilation is an increasing possibility, especialy since the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the harsh fact that several Islamic states now have access to nuclear weapons. In addition, Pakistan, India, North Korea, and Israel have also armed themselves with nuclear technology. Best estimates are that this group will be joined by Iran within the next two to five years. Iran's fanatical leader, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has on numerous occasions denied that the holocaust ever happened, and that it his intention to destroy Israel and wipe that nation from the face of the earth. The world is now waiting to see if Israel will make a preemptive strike on Iran. Israel, on constant threat alert, just recently flew into Syria and took out a possible missile launching installation without being detected. If Syria launched a gas attack against Israel, should we be surprised if Israel retaliates totally in kind, and as a result, destroys Damascus in a fulfilment of prophecy?
Of course, if we follow this scenerio to the logical conclusion, the rest of the Arab world would be so outraged that they would try to rally the other Arab nations to launch an all-out invasion against Israel, but would hesitate, because the Arab world is very much aware of the "Samson Option" that Israel will use if it is forced into a position of ultimate defense. If everything else fails, launch everything you have against your enemies, realizing that in doing so you will probably be destroyed as well. The option refers, naturally, to Samson, who killed 5000 Philistines in Gaza when he brought down their pagan temple on them. In his death, Samson killed more people in one act than he had killed in all his other battles combined while he was alive.
Israel captured Gaza during the 1967 War, but recently gave it back in the "Land for Peace" deal. Since then, the Gaza strip has become a haven for Al Qaida terrorists.
So... there is not really a question about whether or not these events will happen. The real question is "When?" God would not have us in ignorance and darkness, which is why He has spoken to us through His prophets. Scripture tells us that in the latter days, the books will be opened when men will run rapidly to and fro and knowledge will vastly increase. Presently the sum of man's knowledge is doubling every two years. The books have been sealed, but now they have been opened. Other prophesies are also really starting to make sense in light of what is going on the Middle East and the Arab world. The faithful few in Europe are going to undergo tremendous persecution, and their tribulation is best described as being horrific. As the Word says to those undergoing persecution, " Look up for My time draweth nigh. " We Christians in the United States have been alerted to what is going on, and we know that it is extremely important for us to make sure the right person is seated in the Oval Office. The leader of the United States is undoubtably one of the most powerful individuals in the world, and we do not exaggerate to say that the decisions made by that person could quite possibly determine the future of all mankind.
In any event, we must be ready for the Coming of the Lord.
