Troubled days ahead for the Middle East and America

Posted on by Don

There are troubled days ahead for the Middle East and America. It is not like this nation really deserves anything less. The Marxists could never have taken over our educational system, the media, our government and even many of our churches if those that call themselves Christians in this nation really believed, lived a Christian lifestyle and kept a Christian worldview.

Believe it or not, with all the talk of a take over by the conservative Right it still looks like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed and John McCain will all get reelected and stay in power. With that information in mind, how much do Americans really care that they have allowed socialist idealists to reshape America into their ideal of America being a secondary colony on the world collective ant farm?… continue reading

Any operational Bushehr nuclear reactor is destroyed with Babylon.

Posted on by Don

It has been announced that Russia is going to fuel up the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran on Aug 21st, 2010. That has also fueled speculation by some that Israel or even the U.S. will attack the reactor within the next eight days because after it goes operational nobody would dare attack this reactor because radiation would be spread over a large area of the Middle East. Attacking it after it has become operational for a while would even be worse, because it would spread the Plutonium that is generated in the fuel rods and wherever this Plutonium dust might spread would become radioactive and uninhabitable for human life for many thousands of  years.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, August 2010

Posted on by Don

Its already August and time for my second monthly perspectives article. In case you got here by a search engine with a keyword search these perspectives are posted on the World Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog of Don Koenig. There is a category on the side bar and a tag on the bottom of this post that will bring you to prior monthly perspectives.

It now looks like team Obama is about to turn on the simulation money printing machines again. We were told that the stimulus would soon end but it now is evident to even the Obamanable Far Left, that they did not get the high that they were expecting from their 3 trillion dollar stimulus.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, July 2010

Posted on by Don

I decided to start a monthly series on my perspectives on world and church issues. Some will have some bearing on end time Bible prophecy.

For those who do not know me and found this post through a search engine. I have had a website called The Prophetic Years for over ten years. For the last three years the site also hosts a Blog named “World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy“. This blog is where these monthly perspectives are posted along with other posts of interest usually related to the Blog title. I will create a special category on the sidebar for these perspectives so you can find them all in one place.… continue reading

Worn out loafing around on the Internet in a tired world.

Posted on by Don

I wanted to write a couple of new articles on something worth knowing this week but the chances of that seem to be getting slimmer all the time. Between comments, emails, website administration and modifications, keeping up with the news, shopping for food, yard work, a garden that is out of control, all my high mileage vehicles needing repair, my wife going on a mission trip, a birthday, spraying the fruit trees, taking care of the animals, doing bills, a holiday coming up, sleeping , etc. I find that there just are not enough hours in the day to get everything done.… continue reading

Israel and Bible prophecy in the light of present world realities

Posted on by Don

I have figured out that I really cannot figure out how end time prophetic events involving Israel will all play out but of course like so many others that write on Bible prophecy that won’t stop me from writing about it.

Probably the main premillennial futurist speculation today is that the war of Ezekiel chapter 38 will take place within a few years but that does not make sense to me in the light of present world realities. Israel is not living in security as it is so clearly stated in the Ezekiel prophecies. Israel cannot be living in security without some significant change in thinking in the entire Middle East.… continue reading

Obama may want Israel to attack Iran

Posted on by Don

After reading the latest news report on Fox News about Iran’s nuclear progress and the doubts that the Obama approach will stop Iran , I have come to the conclusion that Obama is not serious about sanctions. The facts are that Obama and his cronies continue to obstruct any meaningful sanctions on Iran. Obama may actually want Israel to attack Iran for reasons I will get into shortly.

There is no question in my mind that the United States could put a virtual end to the Iranian nuclear program with just a few days of air strikes. Obama knows that Iran intends to build nuclear weapons.… continue reading

Syrian Scud Missile move puts the whole Middle East at risk.

Posted on by Don

Israel has proof that Syria is transferring Scud Missiles to Hezbollah. From my point of view Israel simply cannot allow Hezbollah terrorists to have missiles that can hit its nuclear reactor and risk spreading radiation on much of Israel. So, I think that Israel will now seek to destroy these weapons in Lebanon and I would not rule out Israel hitting Scuds near the border in Syria as well.

As long as the Scuds stayed in Syria the Syrian nation knew it would pay the consequences of ever using them against Israel. Now Syria is making a huge miscalculation by transferring some of their Scuds to Hezbollah as if they will get away with it.… continue reading

The great Islamic world war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

Posted on by Don

The great Islamic world war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims could be God’s answer to the Psalm 83 plan to invade Israel.

Some think Islam is the primary danger to the Western world and even think that Islam will bring the Antichrist against the West. The flaw in their thinking goes beyond correct understanding of Bible prophecy. They gloss over the deep division that exists between the Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Muslims. A house divided will not stand.

Sunni Muslims have controlled most Islamic areas of the world for centuries. The Sunnis control most of the wealth and the governments in Islam today.… continue reading

From 2010 until the Messianic Age Millennial Kingdom of Yeshua.

Posted on by Don

I certainly am not a prophet but I believe we are in the final decades just before the Messianic age and Millennial Kingdom of Yeshua. In fact, I think there will only be three more decades. Sometime before the end of that third decade I think Yeshua (Jesus) will have returned to earth to set up His Millennial kingdom.

I am writing this because I think many Christians today have been misled into thinking that everything must take place within this decade. I think it is much more likely that these events will play out over two to three decades.

The following is how I think the final decades will play out in the world.… continue reading

The world is very unstable we have reached the unraveling point.

Posted on by Don

Have you noticed that the world is becoming extremely unstable on every front? The only nation that kept the world fairly stable since the Second World War now is projecting a great deal of instability to the rest of the world. Because of our own unraveling the whole world is about to unravel into a third world war and all sorts of evils. Obama with his lame brain foreign policy that projects weakness reflects a major aspect of this national unraveling.

This is the first America president that acts and thinks like a third world president. Will the nation be made into his image? … continue reading

Iran: A new method to fight world tyrany, “Operation Defang the Snake”.

Posted on by Don

Iran and the solutions to Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons is the number one concern in the world other than an economic collapse but a military strike on Iran could also push the economy of the world over the edge or even start a world war that will rage from Israel to India and even beyond through terrorist related activity.

People who study the Iranian crises and those that study Bible prophecy have suggestions of how the Iranian crises may play out:

Some think that America or Israel will bomb Iran. That of course risks the scenario of an oil related economic crises and even a world war.… continue reading

On Feb 11 Iran will stun the world powers with more punch drunk arrogance.

Posted on by Don

Since this blog is supposed to be about world trends I guess I should mention that Iran is now telling the world that on Feb 11 they will Punch the Arrogance of the Western powers and that this punch will leave the Western world powers stunned. I do not think anyone really knows what the leaders of Iran are implying but I know that Iran already stuns the Western world with its own arrogance.

I predict that Iran will attempt to crush the green movement on Feb 11th and they will stun the world with their barbaric brutality. Other than that, I am not sure what Iran could pull off that would stun the world powers.… continue reading

Iran: Imminent Revolution or Imminent Bombing?

Posted on by Don

Like many fellow Bible prophecy students, for a couple of years I took the position that Israel or the United States will bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities “any day now” The bombing in my mind was imminent. If you remember many thought that Bush would do it before the election primaries and then before the election and then before leaving office.  If anyone was going to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities the best time to have done so was before Iran acquired the nuclear know how. However, that did not happen.

If anyone should bomb Iran today it would not achieve much since Iran already has the nuclear know how and they could rebuild their efforts in just a few years. … continue reading

2009 was bad but 2010 will be worse

Posted on by Don

I hope everyone had a great holiday season with their family and friends and hope you all will have a joyful new year in Christ.

We have arrived to a new year and a new decade and I know 2009 was bad for many but 2010 will be worse.

Here are seven things to consider in 2010. They are likely to impact us in one way or another.

1. We probably should start in the house of God. How long will God put up with those on TV speaking in his name?  Christians have been putting up with the rats in our Christian TV for quite a long time.… continue reading

Prepare for the great American blackout!

Posted on by Don

With the title Prepare for the great American blackout! I bet you are wondering what in the world I am talking about. I have come to the conclusion that in about five years most of those who are still living in America will be living without electricity. The whole nation will experience a major prolonged blackout that will last many months, perhaps even years. Many if not most of the people living in the cities in America would not survive the aftermaths of the coming electromagnetic pulse (EMP) hundreds of miles over the United States.  That is my conclusion why America is not in Bible prophecy.… continue reading

Revolution in Iran may bring moderation and solve the nuclear issue for Israel

Posted on by Don

It is interesting times in Iran these days. When 1 in 6 of all Iranians take part in the demonstrations in the streets of Tehran in rage against the fraudulent election results you know things are a changing in Iran. The Iranian people are taking to the streets knowing that they will be in danger from the Islamofascists running the nation. Their Islamic taskmasters are even using foreign hired Arab thugs to put fear in the people. You can be sure when city streets are totally filled with people that things are soon likely to change.

It seems to me that the Islamofascists are rapidly losing control of Iran and that Iran is now ripe for a cultural revolution.… continue reading

A world war is brewing next decade because of Islamic extremism expanding in Pakistan and elsewhere.

Posted on by Don

Pakistan is probably going to become the catalyst for the next world war and it will take place within the next decade. The leadership of Pakistan is corrupt and has little popular support. There is now no political remedy that will prevent Islamic radicals from taking over the nation. Islamic militants are now taking over more and more of the countryside and there will be no stopping them by the Pakistani military because the military is already infiltrated and also obsessed with India.

India today is being attacked by Islamic terrorists supported by Pakistan and is probably only one or two more major terrorist attacks away from taking military action against Pakistan.… continue reading

Netanyahu communicates to Obama that he must stop Iran from acquiring nukes and do it pronto.

Posted on by Don

This exclusive article about the author’s interview with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel tells me that Netanyahu is not going to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. There are other problems with allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons besides the threat of a nuclear strike on Israel. If Iran acquired nukes it would upset the stability in the whole unstable Mid-East. The threat would also bully Israel citizens and some would depart Israel. Having Iran as a nuclear umbrella is certain to embolden all the terrorist groups in the area. Iran would also be a threat to Europe and Arab nations and could supply terrorists with a weapon of mass destruction that they might use anywhere.… continue reading

Will the West offer up Israel as their sacrificial lamb on the altar of Baal for world peace?

Posted on by Don

Today things are again heating up in the Middle East because Israel is now taking action against Hamas terrorists in Gaza that have been firing rockets into Israel.  This action by Israel may not lead to a wider war but who really knows?

With that in mind perhaps it is time to look at this very interesting prospective of the deadly game being played out in the Middle East between the Jews, Iran, Islam and the West.

The following summery in that article raises a likely question. Will the West believe they can force Israel to give in to all demands when Israel already knows that Iran and Islam cannot be appeased?… continue reading
