The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Ecclesiastes 1:9,10

As the world heads down the path to World War III history repeats itself, the same mistakes that were made in ancient times are being made again in these modern days of advanced technology. When will mankind learn that the world in which we live is only as good as we make it and if we continually fill it with pollution and corruption it will constantly produce chaos. In fact, the history of mankind on this earth is a long dirty trail of conflict and war. The day will come when God’s Kingdom is finally established on earth and though some would make it come sooner than later it will take place at God’s appointed time, not according to someone’s graph, chart or timeline. Peace on earth will happen when God chooses it to be. Until that time comes prepare for the coming storms.

History is full of leaders who were puppets for other nations and empires. Today, nothing has changed. As the preacher stated in Ecclesiastes “there is no new thing under the sun” nations and empires have been backing and supporting dictators in other regions for advancement of their own interest, control and to maintain dominancy. It’s no different today and the Middle East is a prime example.

During the 1950’s the United States backed and supported Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, the Shah of Iran. The U.S. helped the Shah to create and operate a secret police force called SAVAK. This police force murdered and tortured thousands of Iranians but the U.S. overlooked all of this because the Shah allowed the U.S. to use its borders to spy on the Soviet Union.

Mohammad Zia Ul-Haq, former President of Pakistan was backed by the U.S. and a country which never knew drugs became one of the world’s biggest heroin routes, furnishing over 70% of the world’s highest grade of heroin. In 1982 the U.S. gave over $3 billion in aid to Pakistan under Zia’s rule and half of this was for the purchase of weapons.

At one time or another the U.S.,  Soviet Union , France have all backed and supported the late Saddam Hussein providing finance, arms, advisors and business ties. During the early 70’s the former Soviet Union provided thousands of advisers and weaponry to Saddam. Prior to Iraq’s seizure of Kuwait, the U.S. had provided weaponry, advisers and funding to Saddam in his war with Iran. When Kuwait was invaded by Iraq the tables turned and even though Kuwait was openly anti-Israel the U.S. initiated a United Nations coalition to drive Saddam’s forces out of Kuwait. The driving force behind the U.N. coalition was the fear that the world economy would suffer heavily due to fluctuating oil prices. Many nations such as Britain and Germany had large investments in Kuwait which needed protection from Saddam’s invasion.

Currently, the Middle East is messy with compromised leadership who are backed by foreign interest whether they are national or international. In ancient history it is these types of special interest that led to conflicts and eventual wars. There is a scenario that has played out many times throughout all regions of the earth but more-so in the Middle East: A dictator rises to power through the backing of foreign interest who have the power to even sway elections for that leader such as Mohammad Reza Pahlevi the former  Shah of Iran who had more votes than people! The heavily foreign backed dictator attains power and oppresses the people, an opponent is raised up who becomes the leader of the people and a revolt takes place. The leader of the people depending on who is backing him and how far they are willing to go to see him in office becomes the victor and does one of two things:

1)     Continues to protect and maintain the special interest of the current foreign backers.

2)     Institutes protection of the new foreign backer’s interest.

Regardless of what nation, almost all politicians are backed by some form of special interest and when they obtain their office it is expected that they will return the favor this is at the foundation of all politics of the world and it will be the foundation for the next world war just it has been in the past.

World War III will take place in the Middle East and once again the world will be divided but along the lines of anti-Israel and pro-Israel. As seen in prior Middle East conflicts nations will flip-flop their backing according to what is at stake or what threatens their special interest. World War III will be complex because at it’s foundation will be Israel, oil, land and as one of the last frontier’s of this earth there will be a fight for control over the region.

The war will start with an Israeli conflict with a neighboring country and it will be so devastating in it’s destruction that the world will gasp in awe at the boldness and violent strikes. The violence will be so traumatic that it will command the attention of the world and nations will not be able to ignore it, leaders will be put on the spot as the masses seek their reaction. Aggressive leaders will see this as an opportunity to push their Middle Eastern agenda’s and with a show of force will invade the conflicting and surrounding territories taking sides as their special interest dictates. 

A miscalculation of an aggressive nation in the region will result in a massive slaughter of an ethnic people that will bring the world to its feet and all out war will be declared in the Middle Eastern region as the aggressors come under attack. The pages of history are full of bloodshed that would make Vietnam and prior wars blush but the slaughters of World War III will bring a penetrating dark fear across the nations that will cause people to do terrible things to one another. The world will become one gigantic ball of emotion as fear, terror, sadness and violent anger rip nations apart the long tentacles of the Middle East conflicts reaching into the interior of other nations.

Somewhere in the Middle East a young man will pick up a gun out of disgust of the blood, fear, anger and ripping of bones and he will rise up in the ranks of an army and soon become it’s military leader. He will become the scourge of the earth as he maims and kills everything in sight, no military leader of the world will be able to confront him. He will be a blasphemy to God as he commits one atrocious act after another even his own army will shake in fear in the shadows of their tents dreading to be summoned before a certain death. He will take many men and women prisoners killing and crushing their minds with horrors that will make Guantanamo look like a day care camp. He will be the leader that many Middle Eastern soldiers have been looking for and millions will cast their allegiance to him out of fear and reverence. This son of chaos will build and formidable army gathering Islam from the four corners of the earth into one force which will challenge the best the nations have to offer on the killing fields of the Middle East. 

On the other side of the opposition a madman will rise to power and prove to be as cruel and chaotic as the son of chaos. He will be a cut-throat among world leaders and cause many unnecessary deaths in the world on both sides of the arena. He holds no loyalty to anyone other than the goals he strives to attain which is absolute power and through him many rulers will be slaughtered and sold. The world will not see the treachery of this leader until time has passed and the smoke of the guns have cleared instead they will see a firm, aggressive leader who seems to hold complete control and a war weary nation will place their ultimate trust in him and he will turn around and brutalize them but they will not know it until after the deed is done.

World War III will rage on for a decade causing pain across the globe, disrupting global plans at one level while fulfilling expectations at another.  The time of this Great War is not upon as of yet, there are still many changes and events that must take place before it is allowed to consume the world. One such event is the election of the mysterious leader of 2016 in America who will be a catalyst for the dark times of that uncertain hour. (the actual war will not begin until well after 2016 and possibly 2018 but there are events surrounding the leader of 2016 that will contribute towards it. Wars do not just pop up out of no where there are always contributing events that lead up to it).When nations are cast into the deepest throes of economic hardship with the threat of anarchy and ruin hanging above their heads for all to see, World War III will be near.

What can we do now in these years of formative hardship and bashing about from crisis to crisis? What can we do today to prepare for a not so distant World War III? God would have us to look to Him and place our trust upon His eternal love and compassion. Many of us will not see World War III but our children will and it is up to us now to prepare them spiritually for the coming time when faith in God will fail in the hearts of mankind as the killing fields of the Middle East claim life after life. Now is the time to ask the question, a truthful question how are we preparing our children for the undeserving future they face? Do we teach them to live like vicious video-wolves, killing and taking to survive or do we teach them to escape the harsh realities of life through drug and alcohol induced escapes?

It will seem as if the light of hope has gone dim under the clouds of chemical death and flaming ruins but hope never dies, it will be there buried under the rubble, a small flicker trying to desperately go out but made to continue by the faith of a few. This is the hour of transition when the world will turn it’s back on God and embrace chaos instead of spirit. Young men and women faced with death all around them, enduring the violence of war and mothers whose sons come back in body bags, wives whose husband’s minds are gone forever will begin to look to anything and anyone to help them cope with the pain. A small remnant of believers will remain in the world living in the shadows of the rising beast and God will pour out upon them the full force of His Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts so that they may counter the darkness of chaos.

We think we are going through something now. We think our setbacks are hard today. Just wait until the darkness of World War III has fallen upon the nations. The eyes have not seen such treachery, violence and sin.

Your humble servant in God
