Can the actions of
one ordinary man change the world for better or worse? It can if that man
wields a pen (or a keyboard). Here is an example of one such occurrence.
In 1917 a now famous writer fabricated a legend, nearly out of thin air, only
loosely based on reality. The resulting media frenzy changed
the political landscape of our world to the extent that Biblical prophecy
is even affected. This article explains how the modern nations of
Israel and Iraq, and others, came into existence. Should you want to know

The Region After Iraq

Is
Saddam Hussein the prophesied “King of the South” (meaning south of Jerusalem)?
Is this the very end time? Bible prophecy says of end time politics that the
descendants of ancient Israel (primarily the U.S. and the British) will have made
political “…payments to all your lovers, and hired them to come to you from all
around for your harlotry.” (Ezekiel 16, especially v.33) While the U.S. has bought
off many nations in the past - in lieu of dealing with its problems - this is not
what is happening in today’s political environment. This article succinctly
describes a political arena not remotely resembling that of the end time. As Dr.
George Friedman says, today’s nations are “flirting”
with us, not the other way around!
