THREAT OF GREATER CONFLICT IN MIDDLE EAST

Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:6, "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars"...as the end of time draws near. The current Middle East conflict could be the spark that sets off the mighty invasion of Israel prophesied by Ezekiel in chapters 38 and 39 of his prophecy.

Notice this current report by UPI:

KUALA LUMPUR, August 4 (UPI) — Participants in a Malaysian meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference warned of a clash of civilizations.

Leaders of the 56-nation group, who earlier hear Iran's president call once again for "the elimination of the Zionist regime," were meeting to discuss fighting in Lebanon between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.

Prospects that the conflict will spread sparked dire warnings. Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who leads the world's most populous Muslim nation, warned that the international community "just one step away to that ultimate nightmare: a clash of civilizations." (emphasis mine)

"This war must stop, or it will radicalize the Muslim world, even those of us who are moderate today," he warned.

The OIC is the group that organized international protests earlier this year against Danish cartoons of Muhammed.
