More War on the Way.

Since January 2013, “201 terrorist attacks have been staged worldwide. In the Middle East, there are now eight countries officially at war, involving 163 different militias, separatist and anarchic groups. In the Congo, Mali, Nigeria, Somalia, and the Sudan—there are now 24 countries and 141 different groups involved in wars. In Europe, there are now eight countries involved in official wars involving 65 different groups of militias, guerrillas and separatists… All told, there are now a near record high of 60 countries involved in war, involving 512 militias and separatist groups” (Money and Markets, January 20, 2014). Based on a detailed analysis of wars and rebellions and the cycle they follow, financial analyst Larry Edelson predicts an increase in these activities through the year 2020 (ibid.). And based on his analysis he also predicts “And, yes, war-like conditions, rebellions and revolts are coming to America” (ibid.).

Interestingly, Mr. Edelson’s analysis is not far removed from Bible prophecy. Jesus prophesied that clear signs of the end of the age will include “wars and rumors of wars… nation [ethnic group] will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6-7). As we watch wars and conflicts around the globe increase, and other prophecies come to pass, we can know that Christ’s return is approaching.
