What is hard for many to understand is that God spoke about this time we are now entering into, in the prophets. Psalms 83 1-18 speaks of this time. Verse 6 the Ishmaelites are mentioned along with Moab and Harites, who are offspring from Hagar, and others with Tyre. verse 4 Come, they say, "let us destroy them as a nation" that the name of Israel be remembered no more. With one mind they plot together they form an alliance against you--Ishmael, Hagarites, Moab, Gebal Ammon and Amalek Philistia with the people of Tyre and Edom, even the Assyria has joined them. Are these the 10 kings spoken of in Daniel, the areas they exist in today that come together in the last days of the Age of Man? I believe it is a great possibility for they receive a kingdom which belongs to Satan for 3 1/2 yrs. Rev. 13:2 The dragon gave the beast his POWER, and his THRONE and great AUTHORITY.This is the force that we Christians are up against that opposes us as Daniel 7:25 says and Rev 13:7 declares this to happen to the Saints. Rev 13:7 He was given power to make war against the Saints and conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, language and nation. We have entered into prophecy concerning the events that will bring our Lord back to reign upon the earth, to remove this beast that is in place now and is at work to come forth taking the whole earth for a period of 3 1/2 yrs till Christ will come and remove him. Hang on to your faith and trust in the Lord completely for this is our calling being born into this time. Acts 17:26-27 From one man he made every nation of men, that they shuld inhabit the whole earth and HE, GOD, DETERMINED THE TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE. 27.) God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him , though he is not far from each one of us. So, we have been born into this Age of the End created by God to be in it. We are going through this and we will be with our Lord if we stay the course. He will help us and I am depending on him for by myself I will not make it, but with him all things are possible. My life in him. As Jesus dealt with Satan for 40 days and nights, so will we be dealing with the kingdom of Satan under human powers who will be setting on Satan's throne. We are entering into some times we have not been familiar with. VickieThanks Vickie
