End time clock moves another tick
Thanks to the meddling of the current US “president” in deploying unauthorized military and air support, Libya was handed over to the Administration’s foreign policy partner, the Muslim Brotherhood and its military wing, al Qaeda. This all resulted in the barbaric death of an American Ambassador and three others, something in which current candidate for President, Hillary Clinton, played an enormous role. Now Libya is becoming the African foothold for the new Islamic Caliphate, the Islamic State. Libya is one of the nations mentioned by the prophet Ezekiel as coming against Israel in a colossal end time battle. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports that US military sources are perplexed on how to stop the IS juggernaut.
WSJ reports: “Islamic State leaders in Syria have sent money, trainers and fighters to Libya in increasing numbers, raising new concerns for the US that the militant group is gaining traction in its attempts to broaden its reach and expand its influence. In recent months, US military officials said, Islamic State has solidified its foothold in Libya as it searches for ways to capitalize on rising popularity among extremist groups around the world…US military officials see few good options for halting Islamic State’s growth in Libya.” WSJ quoted a US military official saying, “How do we stop it?”It’s a huge concern.” The concern is that IS will use Libya as a base to expand operations globally.
Meanwhile, another region that would be involved in the Ezekiel-prophesied battle is that of the former Assyrian Empire in what today stands in parts of Turkey and Iraq. The IS has taken the Iraqi city of Ramadi, a heavily contested trade crossroads that leads to Jordan and on to the Mediterranean Sea. While this conquest is not mentioned in Ezekiel, it is indicative of the strength of the IS and its military organization. The IS is following the Muslim Brotherhood plan of connecting all the weaker Islamic jihadi forces into one powerful Caliphate. It appears to be building toward that end time coalition of nations mentioned in Ezekiel, even Turkey is supporting IS with logistics and infrastructure, while condemning it publicly.
In Ezekiel 38:3-8, the Lord says, “Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: and I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army…Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them…against the mountains of Israel…” These areas mentioned in the verses of Ezekiel 38 coincide with modern Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Libya, and parts of Iraq, even Saudi Arabia. The US “president’s” foreign policy of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Arab Spring and beyond has accelerated the advance of the Islamic State and has allowed it to solidify as a major force pointing the world to the prophetic end times. Pray. Watch. Discern.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
