...event tell us it's on the way? Gulf Arab States Share Israel's Fears Over Iran's Nuclear Program
The Gulf states -- a cornerstone for U.S. diplomatic and military pressure on Iran -- are indispensable parts of any effort to confront Tehran's nuclear ambitions. And even Israel, which has no direct diplomatic outreach to the Gulf, is likely brought into the Gulf-centric policymaking with U.S. envoys acting as go-betweens, experts say.

"I would be surprised if there is no knowledge about the Saudi positions (in Israel) or knowledge in Saudi of the Israeli positions," said David Menashri, director of the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University.

It's part of a complicated mix of mutual worries and divergent risks -- the Gulf, unlike Israel, has critical commercial and diplomatic ties with Iran -- that puts Washington in the middle as the common ally and chief Western architect of pressure tactics on Iran.

Ezekiel 39
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it?"

1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Dorian,

Yes. You are right, Jesus will bring victory in the form of bloody vengeance, but the signs are told before that.
I see it as:
1) the Beast forms in the ancient Persian Empire,
2) Antichrist
(Muslim Apostate) wars with three nations who came against him within that Empire (Muslim nations who don't like Muslim Apostates)
3) Antichrist seems to have lost like Qaddafi and Saddam Husein,(Rapture takes place) but comes out victorious, uprooting the three

There will be no peace in the middle east. There is a terrible war coming in the middle east! Jesus is coming!

War among Arab/Muslim nations of the Middle East and Northern Africa will unite these nations under the leadership of Iraq and Iran. I'm not sure if this affects Israel in any way. Iraq will invade and occupy Syria and other Arab nations.After the small war among Arab nations, the Arab nations will join forces. They will threaten and attack the United States. They will explode a nuclear bomb in New York City. (Psalm 20:10). Next they will threaten and attack Europe. They will attack France and Italy and other countries. The Arab nations will be unstoppable. They will eventually conquer all of Europe, parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, and the northern part of Africa. This will be a war against nations and also a war against the Christian Faith. They will burn churches and prohibit public worship in the occupied countries. This war will last for many years. This war is the First Horseman and the First Seal of the book of Revelation.
