SIGNIFICANT DATES: 1. The Islamic State.
History shows us some of the reasons for what is happening in our world today. Specifically here: The Islamic State.
After WW1 the Ottoman Empire of the Middle East was divided up by the league of Nations. Borders were made specifically for Iraq, Syria & Jordan. Today these political boundaries are being done away with by the Islamic State.
This has great Biblical significance, I believe.
FORMATION OF 3 NATIONS & THEIR BOUNDARIES.
1920 Iraq`s borders demarcated by the League of Nations & placed under the authority of the United Kingdom as the British mandate of Mesopotamia.
1920 Syria was established as a French mandate.
1922 Jordan (Emeritus of Transjordan) was officially recognized by the council of the League of Nations & under their mandate.
INDEPENDENCE OF THE 3 NATIONS. (Borders still in place.)
1932 Iraq gained independence from United Kingdom.
1946 Syria gained independence from France.
1946 Jordan gained independence from the League of Nations.
ISLAMIC STATE REJECTS POLITICAL DIVIVIONS BY WESTERN POWERS.
2013 ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq & Syria) formed from al-Qaeda in Iraq. Also known as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq & Levant (Syria).
2014 IS – Islamic State. Declaration of the Islamic State covering much of Iraq & Syria.
They disregard former political boundaries & form a new province from part of Syria & part of Iraq, & name it the `Euphrates` province. They capture the Jordan – Iraq border crossing & seek to move into Jordan where they have much public support.
FUTURE PROJECTION
2015 ->
- Consolidation of the Islamic State.
- Removing more old barriers of territory between Iraq & Syria.
- Move into Jordan.
- Eventually a `peaceful` leader will arise & relate to the Western Powers.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for that very interesting view. Just shows they had no idea of the Sunni & Shi-ite`s conflict underneath. They armed the Shi-ite`s & of course the Sunni`s would counteract. A civil, religious war.
I`ve been waiting for this to happen for over 35 years, as I was taught that this area would come back into prominence.
Do we want to discuss what God says will happen now? And where that is in His word?

Hi Gary,
Concerning Australia, we are part of the (British) Commonwealth of Nations. We & you (America) are seen as the group that is against them (IS). And probably if there wasn`t oil wells that we are all concerned about, we`d leave them (IS) to form their own state.
I`m very glad `you & I` are really not apart of what the nations do. We, as the Body of Christ are coming to maturity in Him and then the nations will be brought together & then judged, as we all know.
Marilyn.

Hi Marilyn,
Yes we have a lot to be Thankful for, I cannot imagine going through the constant wars with all the violence taking place daily.
I know a lot of people discredit the Christian influence in the West but I tend to think this is why we have been blessed.
Even though I don't get into the xmas celebrations I think its interesting the Government is quick to remove manger scenes and the ten commandments from their front lawns.
The West is now quick to embrace Hinduism, Buddhists, and even Muslims.
You Aussies sure do your homework on all these world events. I think most of the news we get is slanted or bias so you don't know what to believe when you hear some journalist.

It will be interesting to see what goes on here. With America awash in oil now they don't have a direct interest in "keeping the peace".
As far as Israel is concerned there in the middle east I think Jordan is the linch pin. Egypt is the strongest nation by far and at peace with Israel but even leaving aside the supernatural it wouldn't take much to see it fall into chaos like the others. I think if Jordan goes it will only be a matter of time before it hits Egypt. Leaving virtually the entire middle east opposed to Israel.
Saudi Arabia and the Sheikdoms are all quite vulnerable as well. I guess thats a long way around of saying that Marilyn may be right. A strong Muslim leader the entire region could rally around. Very possible.
I'm still sticking to my belief though that the Antichrist will be a Jew arising out of Germany. There is lots that has to happen before that hits though.

This group is nothing more then a bunch of vicious psychos who perpetrate violence and fear. In their deluded minds they actually think their going to heaven after they destroy other human beings..

ISIS definitely has evil intent and are probably playing a part in bringing about the fulfillment of prophecy of the last days, but I can't help but think of all the other groups down through history of which this same statement could be made. Misguided and deceived people killing others in the name of God or Allah, believing they were doing God a service.
