Jim Bramlett posted a message  from a pastor in Bombay that said among other things to look for a sign from UAE.

David Zavitz refered to this on Jan 5 when he posted that the emir of Dubai had died.

When I heard the Kuwait emir died on  Sunday Jan 15 at 77 my ears perked up.

Although Kuwait is not part of the UAE, there will certainly be change with it's leader passing.  
I thought it was interesting how they refer to the country  as a constellation of 7 stars.   Sounds like biblical imagery.


from the UAE website:
