The world is anxiously watching the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. Will the situation escalate into a wider war? Can governments avert disaster and achieve lasting peace?
Those familiar with Bible prophecy may wonder whether this Middle East conflict could be the start of the battle of Armageddon mentioned in the book of Revelation.
What does the Bible say?

However, the Bible makes clear that no political leader, human government, or group of people can end war and bring lasting peace. Only God is able to bring “an end to wars throughout the earth.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

The war of Armageddon is not a war between human governments that begins in the Middle East. It is a global war between all human governments and God.
