As a whole, our globe has gone over half a century without a full scale conflict. That's a good thing, right? Tensions have escalated, and there have been times of peace. But now, look at our world. You can turn on the news and literally feel the tension around the world.
We all know of the provocations of the notorious dictator of Korea, Kim Jung Un, and the two-year long Civil War in Syria, and even the nuclear ambitions of Iran, but even if those were not factors, war would still be inevitable.
How can I be so sure? If I were to ask you what do we need now more than anything else in the world? You might would say good ol' H2O, but you might want to think again. Some call it black gold, or Texas Tea. Yep - Oil. Sure, some scientists say we possibly have some 200 years more of this valuable natural resource, but others say we could possibly only have about 40 more years left. I personally believe in the ladder, based on constant rates of consumption.
Governments know this. In the next few years, you will see governments race toward oil wells, and when the wells run dry, and one country has more than another, there will be war.
So aside from the fact that North Korea wants to be the death of America, and that Iran wants to see Israel destroyed, and that Russia will stand by the rogue nation, Syria in any event, the world is edging closer and closer to a global confrontation. If not for religious, or political reasons, then for oil. Oil has turned our hearts as black as itself.
The Bible foretells this, you know?
Revelation 6:3
"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword"
Global war is coming. We as humans can't go long without finding some sort of conflict, and the next one, will likely be global. Nuclear. The end of life as we know it.
I do not write to spread fear, but rather, hope. Salvation is yours today, if you will simply accept the fact that you are a sinner. The Bible says we all have sinned, and we all fall short of God's glory. And the penalty of our sin is death, but God sent the thing He cherished most, His own son, to die for your sins, in your place, so that you can be reconciled to God. God loves you that much. Just believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that God raised Him from the dead. He loves you, don't let your pride get in the way of your relationship with almighty God. God Bless.

Dream of Nuclear Catastrophy - 5/7/13
Last night, I was awakened around 4:30. I remembered that it was possible that God wanted my attention. I foolishly waved Him off and went back to sleep.
The scene was my backyard. I was with several friends and family members for some sort of get-together. Then, we all heard a sound that made us all look up, and turn our heads to the east. I was in front of, and beside my Dad's building, and could see the top of the mushroom cloud just over his building.
I could literally see the blast headed toward us, so in instinct I got fully beside the building. The blast itself was several miles away, but nonetheless, you could feel its effects. When the wind subsided, we all ran behind the building where we could get the best view of the mushroom cloud. It was humongous. Everyone was taking their phones out and snapping pictures, and taking videos.
We watched in horror. We all stayed together that day because we were all shaken up. We listened to the radio for answers as to who did this, or where it actually hit, but we received none.
It was the kind of dream that you could mistakenly take it for reality, it was that real. I don't know if it was from God, or not, but it was a nightmare nonetheless.

What Will Come of the Syrian Crisis?
What's going on in the Middle-East? What will happen?
There is a prophecy made by Isaiah that reads:
"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." Isaiah 17-1
The Syrian civil war has gone on for nearly two years now. The prophecy is relatively short and sweet, but it speaks for itself. Many preachers will still claim that this prophetic event has already been fulfilled, however, look at the text. The verse clearly states that the city of Damascus would no longer be a city-at all. It gives us the impression that Damascus has been left uninhabitable.
So that goes to prove that the prophecy has not occurred yet. But it is in the works even now.
You've probably seen on the news that Israel attacked Syria. For two years now, Syria has only had to worry about the rebels on the inside, now they are facing an outside force. And you'll notice that Israel's main target was near Damascus.
The tensions in the Middle East are heating up at a rapid pace. Already, Iran, and Egypt have condemned Israel for the air-strike, and Syria has vowed to retaliate against Israel.
If they do, it's possible all out war could break out between Israel, and Syria. And then, when Damascus is destroyed, the other nations in support of Syria would attack Israel, which is another prophecy found in Psalm 83.
And then in that war, Israel will still remain victorious, but then the bible says that a Russian/Islamic coalition will attack Israel. This will be a much bigger offensive by the enemies of Israel. This prophecy is found in Ezekiel 38, and 39.
The enemies of Israel will come upon Israel like a cloud, but this time, God Himself will intervene, and wipe out a sixth of the nations that helped in the attack.
The situation in the Middle-East is much more serious than what we see. Damascus will soon become a "ruinous heap", and Jesus is soon to be returning. Don't look at these things and fret. Jesus told us that these things must come to pass, and when we see these things happening, we are to look up, for our redemption draws near.
Let these things strengthen your faith in God. This goes to prove that there is a God. He had prophets prophecy these things so that we would not be taken off guard when they happen.
These things are happening right before our eyes, and where will your eyes be? On the things of this world, or looking toward our blessed hope?
