So, what should we make of President Trump's first foreign trip abroad, especially from a prophetic point of view? The Bible doesn't talk of a great leader travelling to these countries, in the last days, either positively, or negatively. And Saudi Arabia has been our ally, in name (and checkbook) only, for decades, while their citizens gave us the 911 terrorist attack of the World Trade Center.
What's different now is that perhaps the Saudis are recognizing, as I do, that Russian and Iranian interests are "dove-tailing" in their direction, and they should be quite alarmed by the prospects!
The expression. "handwriting on the wall" refers to the story, in the book of Daniel (chapter 5), where the royal Persian banquet was interrupted by a vision of the hand of God writing words of doom for the Persian (the forerunner of Iran) king, that he had been judged, and, "found wanting", and that his kingdom was to be given unto others. One would think the Iranians would consider this enough of a warning for their treatment of Israel, today, but only God knows what goes on in their demented minds!!!
On April 2nd of last year (check out the archives list to the right of this column), I wrote of a perhaps unreliable story I came across on the Internet which claimed that Israeli jets (painted with Saudi markings) had bombed at least two sites in Yemen, resulting in explosions that could only come from Neutron Nuclear devices, dropped by F-16 jets (which only the Israelis possess in the Middle-East). If this story is true, it means that Saudi Arabia has overcome their hatred of Israel, for the greater fear of Iranian hegemony towards them. ("The enemy of my enemy is my friend!", so to speak.) Perhaps Saudi Arabia's welcoming of President Trump was to show both Russia, and Iran, that America is Saudi Arabia's "great ally", and an attack upon the Saudis would bring America to their aid. That coupled with the Israeli-jets story makes me wonder if concern for Iran's movement into Yemen (which has no material value, except that it is located on the Arabian peninsula [from which an invasion could be easily made upon Saudi Arabia]) makes the Saudis realize that their very existence may hinge upon cooperation with their Israeli neighbors.
It looks more, and more like God is allowing things to take shape for the prophecied "Gog/Magog" invasion of the Middle-East, written about in Ezekiel: 38, and 39. The only thing I can't figure out is how do America's forces get out of the picture, since there seems to be no reference to anything that even suggests American involvement. Perhaps America will move it's forces to Saudi Arabia, once the I.S.I.S. crisis is contained, in Iraq. After that, the Israeli's may take care of business with the Russians, and Iranians, without needing American or Saudi help. After all, the Israei's have overcome greater odds, with God's help, before!!! As Egypt's Pharaoh could testify, if he were alive today!!!
