"good thing archduke Ferdinand isn't around"


I teach history and it is as if I am sitting and watching a replay of WWI, and WWII, but instead of Europe, it is the middle east.  Jerusalem(Israel) will become a burdensome stone for all. All the conditions that led to the two great wars are present.  Secret treaties and alliances, a hatred for the Jews, economic troubles, Madmen in control of countries, appeasement for peace(Never works), nationalism(us against you), fighting for who has the right to land. The biggest difference is the development of the nuclear bomb.  In the 1930’s you had to have a large, well equipped army to be a threat, now all you need is a few nuclear bombs and you have become a threat to the world.  I believe Israel is in trouble and will have to attack Iran to stop its nuclear development. That will be the spark that starts all the dominoes to fall.  I read many of the dove letters everyday and I, and I can see the way it is teetering. The sides are set, and the lines have been drawn. That is all Hamas and the Arab needs to increase attacks. (might bring Syria in as well)  the escalation will increase until all are involved that can be.  There are a lot of things that may happen to us, economy collapse, terrorist attack, or us switching sides as not to lose the Arab oil, but at any rate Israel will be on its own.  I am not predicting anything, this is only one on a hundred scenarios, but you can see it lining up and all it will take is the spark.  WWII which was and extension of WWI was started when a Serbian killed and Austrian, and millions people died fighting the two wars.  We are at the same point and only God can help us now. Please Pray for all those at the center of the action.
