What a difference worldview makes. In western eyes and minds, we often give benefit of the doubt when someone says they have made a change in their life. Meanwhile, in the Middle East skepticism runs rampant, and for good reason. Though fewer and fewer people adhere to it, our worldview in the west has roots in Judeo-Christian values, where forgiveness is a virtue and showing grace is honorable. For the most part, the Middle East worldview is established on power at any cost…even if it means lying and deception.

Western minds struggle to grasp just how evil some Islamic world leaders are, and how brutal the jihadists are that do their bidding. For some in the Middle East, the light bulb has come on and they have awakened to the evil that surrounds them. At times they speak truth and provide warning. Amjad Taha, an Arab Muslim political strategist and analyst from the UAE is one such informant. He says:

Iran has lost control of the Middle East. Now, it is exporting chaos to Africa. The objective is not merely Israel. The objective is global starvation. Sudan is becoming the next Islamist battlefield. ISIS is rising again. The Muslim Brotherhood army in Sudan is now armed with Iranian chemical weapons. Yemen’s terrorists are coordinating with them to seize control of the Red Sea. Their strategy is simple: choke global trade, collapse supply routes, and force the world to kneel before the Islamist regime in Port Sudan while the Houthis strike Israel with impunity. 

The next 7th of October is being planned. But this time, it may begin in Sudan, armed with Iranian drones and chemical payloads. Do not forget where Bin Laden launched his first campaign. It was not Afghanistan. It was Sudan. And today, the leaders of Hamas and Palestinian jihadist cells are hiding there again. 

They know we see through them. That is why they hide behind some western puppets. They recruit failed leftist ideologues, discarded intelligence officers, and media mercenaries to deflect attention. They manufacture fake outrage against anyone from the UAE, France, Britain, and any nation with the courage to stand firm. It is a smokescreen. 

Meanwhile, the real alliance is forming. ISIS, Hamas, Al Qaeda, the Houthis, and Hezbollah are converging. And they are building their front line not where you expect it. But in Africa. In Sudan. Little Bin Laden was nurtured in Sudan. Don’t let his heirs rise again. Give Islamist jihadists in Sudan and Yemen a chance, and they will turn the Red Sea into fire and famine..burning ships and starving nations.
~Amjad Taha

If you are familiar with Ezekiel 38 and the ancient lands named in the coalition that will attack Israel, you probably know that Ethiopia (or Cush, in some translations) refers to the north African territory that includes modern-day Sudan.

For years now, Russia, Iran and Turkey have been clearly identified as lead actors in that coalition, and we all see how those three nations have begun to meld together. But Ethiopia (Cush) and Libya (Put) have been more difficult to perceive in that coalition because their geographical locations don’t seem to lend themselves to an invasion from Israel’s north.

Astute Bible students with understanding of world events see the connection, though. Radical Islamists have taken control of those areas and use them for training, weapon storage and launch points. They are an important element to the coalition and their plan of attack.

The Middle East understands this, but the West seems oblivious. Friends, knowing and understanding Bible prophecy helps us know God’s plan of the end.

Jesus will come to snatch away believers before all hell breaks loose in the tribulation. We may not know the timing of the invasion from the north, and we certainly don’t know the day and hour of the rapture. But we are wise to know the time and the season in which we live!

We are seeing groundwork for prophetic events. It is a season to be ready. It is a season to be in God’s Word. I hope you are there! To that end, we will dig into God’s Word together in the coming days. So, grab your Bible and get ready to join us around the virtual study table over the next few days! I’ll meet you there!
