Iran is behind much of this, trying to goad Israel into a war. Syria is watching to see also. Syria’s civil war has spilled over to Jordan, Turkey, Israel and Lebanon. The region is already hugely de-stabilized.
We have been praying that the LORD strengthen the church, that He deliver wisdom to the Middle East leaders, that the lost would repent, and that this would de-escalate. We will know in mere days if this is the beginning of the Psalm 83, Isaiah 19, and/or Isaiah 17 prophecies to be fulfilled. But make no mistake, even if it does calm down and no hot war begins today, the way things have been going on all prophetic fronts, this latest military exchange IS the final path to the eventual fulfillment. (Matthew 24:6) God knows the timing, but He gave us the privilege of prayer. So…pray.
