Tension Rising in the Middle East

Crosstalk America

Israeli Defense Forces are on high alert over a possible attack from Iran due to the recent killing of Iran-related proxy group leaders. Some speculate that this might only be hours or perhaps days away. There's concern that an attack could spark a greater regional war. This has resulted in the U.S. deploying both increasing naval and air assets to the region to defend Israel in an attempt to hopefully deescalate tensions.--What might this signal in terms of Bible prophecy-- Returning to Crosstalk to answer that question was Dr. Gary Frazier. Dr. Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of Bible prophecy. He's the founder and president of Discovery Missions. He is the author of numerous books including- Miracle of Israel, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Hell is for Real, Divorcing God- The Two Americas and The Event- The Dream of World Peace Realized.--Gary explained that from the days of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Israel today, we see that Islamic leaders have not changed their mind concerning the total annihilation of Israel and its people. He also noted that there is no such thing as a political solution to a religious problem. So why would anyone, especially the people in Washington, think that Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah would desire to enter into a negotiated agreement to establish peace, especially when under Islam it's OK to lie, manipulate and use infidels to accomplish one's goals-- --This is the foundation of this edition of Crosstalk that also discusses the following---China has allegedly been goading Iran into attacking Israel.
