As Israel is embroiled in yet another military conflict with its many enemies surrounding it; this student of Bible Prophecy would like to remind everyone that 'ALL' the Islamic Terrorist groups
( Hamas, Hezbollah, AL Qaeda, ISIS etc ) surrounding Israel are nothing more than a 'new modern version' of the ancient 'Philistines, Amalekites & other minor enemies' that Israel has faced throughout its past. In the Old Testament; Israel it seemed was always in some type of perpetual war with its neighboring enemies. It is very important that we learn to separate Israel's minor threats with its greatest one's. The truth is that Israel was never taken into captivity by the Philistines, only the 4 Major Beasts Prophesied by Daniel were the ones who did manage to : conquer Israel; overtake Jerusalem and take hundreds of thousands of Jews into captivity. Israel since its rebirth in 1948 has 'NOT' been defeated nor taken captive by 'NOT' one Islamic Arab country nor the many Islamic Terrorist groups who are known to be supported by : Syria, Iran & Saudi Arabia ( though history itself has shown us that they sure have tried on numerous occasions ! ) The truth is that there is coming someone from the very pit of hell ( Beast from the Abyss *) who will possess & empower the Roman 'Little Horn' & who won't be Islamic & who will be even more : cunning, ruthless & destructive than all the Islamic Terrorist Groups put together & whom will even get to terrorize them & turn the tables on them too !!! We so easily forget that Islam didn't invent nor perfect TERROR; 'Hitler, Stalin, Mao' and many other Non-Muslim totalitarians are a prime example of this ! We also know that Russia is going to go militarily against Israel in a future war but we know that Russia's military will be almost totally decimated in the Israeli mountains. The Philistines came and went, Iran's Ahmadinejead came and went, Osama Bin Laden came and went and Israel continues to STAND; "BECAUSE" GOD ALMIGHTY defends it. ISIS will 'come and go' just like all the others; the Prophecies of Daniel 'GUARANTEE' that the same people who destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. will once again in the last days rise to global prominence; for over 65 years 'NO' Islamic 'Big Mouth' has been able to push the Israeli Jews into the sea; Bible Prophecy 'REVEALS' to us that in the last days a formidable Beast with 7 heads and 10 Horns shall arise from within the Mediterranean Region to the amazement of many. It is no military secret that Israel has nuclear missiles pointed at most Islamic Capitals and it is no secret that the Israeli Airforce easily dominates the skies above it. The only ancient enemy of Israel that has yet to fully arise again to confront modern Israel are the 'Romans from the West' only a formidable and organized high tech army such as NATO could defeat the Israeli Armed Forces and even with all of his upcoming 'supernatural and unholy powers' the future 'Little Horn' just like Hitler is going to need a formidable military machine if he is to conquer the region just like Revelation 6 gurarantees it !!! The endtimes 'Little Horn' is going to do the Roman Vatican a very big favor in the future as it attacks the Middle East ( remember the Crusades* ) that is why the 'Woman Riding the Beast' is 'NOT' wearing an : Islamic Burqa, nor is she dressed in traditional religious Islamic colors; nor is she sitting in a submissive Islamic Female position and to confirm her identity without a shadow of a doubt of who she truly represents & symbolizes, she has in her hand one of the most iconic & recognizable religious objects in all of this world & that is used daily in the religious ritual of this Roman religion : A Golden Cup !!!
