Hello O-meister, Mlg and Everyone
God bless you this day.
To answer your question, Christianity Oasis, Yes! I have noticed many of the countries mentioned in The Bible in conjunction to the End Times, and yet I still find myself being tempted to panic. So much talk, so many distractions because there are so many players beating their chests for attention and they are so arrogant that they don't even know they are willing pawns.
It helps me to communicate this to someone like you, because I know I won't be judged for being ignorant on so many levels to the history of the world and "whose who" in the world, currently. I will confess this, I rarely see anyone in political power and/or world power that I would want to invite to dinner. I'm suspect of most, which is due to the verbal street fights that break out everywhere, similar to watching cats that live together turning on each other when they see a stray out the window. But, Praise God, I find that when I read God's Word about these matters, I'm able to take a deep cleansing breath and the sense of confusion and panic subsides for a while.
I'm very grateful for the study on The End Times on this site because it helps me navigate through The Bible to locate scriptures about The End Times that are throughout The Bible -- in both the Old and New Testaments.

I didn't understand what he was preaching about, but I remember how intense he was. He mellowed in his delivery over the years, but his fire was the same. May he rest sweetly with The Lord. I'm looking forward to seeing him and my Dad again.
God bless and keep you.
Love,
Mack
