Middle East Conflict

While there are many conflicts taking place in the world today, the violence and hatred shown in the Middle East is of great concern to millions of people. There is little doubt that the vast resources of oil in Middle Eastern countries require oil-dependent nations to ensure that their access to that essential commodity is unhindered. Instability in the region can dramatically and quickly affect nations’ economies.

Continuing and current Middle East trouble - involving Israel and people who want to create a State of Palestine - was prophesied in the Bible some thousands of years ago. While these prophecies indicate that there will eventually be a long-term solution, in the short-term, conflict will continue and increase until the details of prophecies are fulfilled. The Bible tells us about the ‘latter day’ events that will result in the completion of God’s plan for the earth and the promise of life for those who believe in Him. This promise makes current world events very relevant for everyone.
