Is the Mideast headed for apocalyptic war?

Veronica -  ...Our Lady now is looking down sadly. And I see She's pointing now to what looks like a map. Oh, my!
     Now as I am watching—it's a map of... oh, I can see Jerusalem, and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, my!
     And Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child."
- March 29, 1975

"Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future", by Joel C. Rosenberg

Newsmax reported on January 30, 2007:

"Epicenter" is a fascinating, page-turning book. Using recent events ripped straight from today's newspaper headlines, as well as tomorrow's headlines, Joel Rosenberg analyzes the developments that are shaping the future course of world events and creates a compelling scenario for an upcoming apocalyptic war in the Middle East.

If his book reads like a political thriller, it's probably because Rosenberg is the New York Times best-selling author of four recent novels. A politically connected communications strategist who has worked for such influential figures as Steve Forbes, Rush Limbaugh, and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Rosenberg has unique insights.

He also happens to be an evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish family. His first book, The Last Jihad, finished just before 9/11 but published later, predicted a Muslim terror attack using a hijacked plane against an American city that provokes a war against Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

His other novels also were eerily prophetic. The Last Days described a Palestinian civil war after Yasser Arafat's death. His third novel, The Ezekiel Option, which predates the rise of Iran's radical leader Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, details how a new Russian dictator builds an alliance with Iran as it feverishly pursues nuclear weapons. Limbaugh said the latter book was "like an episode of ‘24' with a supernatural twist."

Many asked Rosenberg how his novels were so prescient. This extremely well-researched and well-documented, nonfiction book was his answer.

His secret? Rosenberg uses the Bible as a guide. He calls his biblical approach to analyzing world events -- using the "third lens" of Scripture. But despite the biblical perspective, this is not a typical Bible prophesy doomsday book. "I'm not trying to persuade anyone that these specific events will happen in our lifetimes, but simply show how it is possible they might," explains Rosenberg.

Because of his varied political background, and penchant for detailed research, personal interviews with world leaders, and historical context, "Epicenter" reads more like an intelligence report using multiple sources to "connect the dots" (one of his chapter headings) and construct a plausible, yet nightmarish scenario for an upcoming regional conflict.

Called the war of Gog and Magog in the Hebrew Book of Ezekiel, Rosenberg explained to NewsMax that this devastating, yet limited, regional war should not be confused with the much greater and final global war of the same name predicted in the New Testament's Book of Revelation. That final conflict is what most Bible prophecy commentators generally focus on, but will come after the more limited war Rosenberg describes.

In chapter four, Rosenberg takes on the critics head-on. Acknowledging that there are many who think that those who believe in Bible prophecies are "lunatics," he quotes Bill Moyers, the longtime liberal PBS journalist, from a 2004 speech where he calls the end-times beliefs of many Americans "bizarre." Former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips, in his best-selling 2006 book, American Theocracy, warns that Americans who believe in biblical prophesy are "over imaginative" at best and "radical" at worst. He adds that "rapture, end-times, and Armageddon hucksters in the United States rank with any Shiite ayatollahs."

But as Rosenberg points out, what really infuriates these irreligious skeptics "is the enormous number of Americans who believe that world events are unfolding just as the Bible foretold." To see just how many there are, he commissioned a survey in February 2006 of American adults' attitudes toward Bible prophesy.

In that poll, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, 42 percent of Americans believed the rebirth of Israel, wars and instability in the Middle East, recent earthquakes and the Tsunami in Asia were evidence that we are living in what the Bible calls the "last days."

These believers aren't limited to the "usual suspects" of Christian evangelicals or rural Southerners, but represent a broad cross-section of Americans, including a third of Jews, a third of New Englanders, a third of "Left Coasters," 40 percent of Democrats and Catholics, 50 percent of Republicans, women and senior citizens, 60 percent of young people under 25, and 75 percent of African-Americans. Clearly, a significant number of Americans believe the Bible has a bearing on current events.

In the next 10 chapters Rosenberg lays out 10 future headlines he believes we will soon be reading, providing the scriptural basis (primarily from the Book of Ezekiel) for those predictions, and the latest events and specific trends that suggest those headlines may be closer than previously thought. Among them, he predicts Israel will discover massive oil and gas reserves, a czar will rise in Russia, raising fears of a new Cold War, and the Kremlin will join the "axis of evil" and form a military alliance with Iran.

These events, already crystallizing in many ways, eventually lead to soaring global tensions, amid earthquakes and pandemics raging across Europe, Asia, and Africa, as Russia targets Israel and a new war erupts in the Middle East. Among his most intriguing predictions is that Iraq (which contains ancient Babylon) will emerge from all this chaos as the region's wealthiest country and that Muslims will turn to Christ in record numbers.

While at first blush these last predictions seem far-fetched, Rosenberg documents little-known facts about Iraq's economy and military that provide hope there while describing an evangelical revolution that is quietly sweeping through the post-9/11 Middle East. Considering all the gloomy news coming out of the region, it is encouraging to see some positive scenarios.

This is one of the most insightful and intriguing books I have ever read. A combination intelligence report and Biblical blueprint, it still only provides the basic elements of the story. In order to keep up with rapidly moving events, Joel created a weblog at www.joelrosenberg.com, where he tracks the ongoing geopolitical tremors in real time. Whether you believe we are witnessing Biblical events unfolding, or simply want a better perspective on global affairs and the Mideast crisis, I highly recommend this amazing book.

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995: 

ISRAEL  IN  FLAMES
Veronica - ... and there's another map. And I see Israel, and countries about it; they're all aflame....
"The wars shall increase, and the carnage shall increase, and those who are living will often envy the dead, so great will be the suffering of mankind.... When he left the Eternal Father he turned to satan, and this is his reward." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984

AN  ARABIAN  SABER 
Veronica - And I can see now Jesus and Our Lady are going high up into the sky, and there's forming directly over Our Lady's statue, high in the skyit is a cross, a very large cross. The handle, though, of a . . . daggerit looks like a dagger, a knife. It's a strange-looking dagger with a loop at the bottom, like. It's a symbol. And Jesus is nodding.
Jesus - "You will understand, My child, soon."
Veronica - Yes, it is a, like a saber. Gee, it, it's a very strange-looking, dagger-like saber, with a cross on a handle. Likeit's not the kind that you seeit looks almost like Arabian or something. I can't explain itlike a very strange-looking Arabic, or something. I don't know where I have seen that before, but it's a very odd-looking type of dagger-like sword, with a hook on the end of it, though. That's strange. Oh, now it's beginning to fade; I can't see it anymore. - December 24, 1979

SYRIA  HOLDS  THE  KEY
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at this time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing up with Her finger, like this, to Her right side, and high above Her the sky is opening upall the clouds are floating away and the sky is opening up and I see a map of the Mideast. And then Our Lady is pointing up farther and that's another map of China and Russia. Our Lady is turning back now: She was looking upward also.
Our Lady - "My child and My children, there are scoffers who will say there shall not be a Third World War. They do not know and cannot conceive of the plan of the Eternal Father. Be it known now that the Father has great heart for all His children, but when the sin reaches a peak only known to the Father, the amount of sin among mankind, then the Father will take action." - May 28, 1983

A  WORLD  AFLAME
"Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the Third World War. It will be the destruction of three-quarters of the world. A world aflame, with also the Ball of Redemption." - Our Lady, May 30, 1981

"MY  HOME"
"Wars are a punishment for man's sins. My children, My heart is torn. I stand with you observing your road, the path you are traveling. Many lives shall be lost in the great War.
     "The forces of evil are gathering about the city of Jerusalem. I walked there, My children. My home will be destroyed. There shall be much blood shed upon My home." - Our Lady, June 24, 1976

JERUSALEM  &  PALESTINE
Our Lady - "You ask, My child, how this situation evolved. It was not in the plan of God to bring the great Chastisement upon you at this time. It is the will of man that has forced His hand upon you.
     "The great plague and darkness will come before the Ball of Redemption.
     "Gradually you will find the extinction of man evolving from the earth. The Father does not plan to completely eradicate man from earth as He did during the time of Noah, choosing only a few to set up the Kingdom.
     "There will be a great War..."
Veronica - And over to the left side of the flagpole there's written a word: "YELLOW AGAINST WHITE - WHITE AGAINST BLACK", and then there's a large cross over the world. It's a globe of the world, and there's blood dripping over on one side. And there's a pool of blood; it's like a river. And now the word comes out from inside the blood, and it says: "PALESTINE" P - A - L - E - S - T - I - N - E, and underneath, "JERUSALEM." - March 25, 1973

EGYPT
Veronica - I see now a map and I'm looking upon the countries that look like desert. I don't recognize them. And I see pyramids that I know is Egypt. Egypt, yes. And I see people dressed in long garments with covers over their heads and hands. They're like from the desert country. And they now are running forward. They're gathering guns from large crates and some are carrying sticks. Thousands and thousands of people are running forward. I see horses now galloping from behind. And now it's growing dark and there's another side of the map showing. I recognize—it's an Oriental country. The people look like Chinese. They also are gathering in thousands and I see, though the people look very poor and most are walking without shoes, I see now to the left of them large, thousands and thousands of people dressed in uniforms. They're a green - brown uniform. I can see the colors. And they have a red star on them. I see on their armbands a red star. And they have cap hats that are like a hunting hat with its peak, but there's a red star on the hat.
     Now I can hear the noise of like, gunfire. It's like great cannons or—oh, the noise sounds so horrible, because I can hear the voices of people screaming. - May 30, 1974

ARABS
Veronica - Now Michael is turning back, and he's pointing over to the left side of the flagpole, beyond the left side. And I see . . . oh, I see a terrible, terrible fighting, a war. I don't believe it's in the United States, because these people look like they're Egyptians, and Arabs, and dark-skinned people. And now, though, as the—I hear the great roar of bombs. 
     I'm looking up, and the sky's becoming very lighted. And I am seeing thousands and thousands of people marching. But they look like Chinese, or Mongolian. No, they're—I believe they're Chinese; they're Asiatic. They're marching across the land, and they're boarding some kind of transport. They're going onto the water. Oh, it's a great War. Oh! Oh!
     Now Michael is coming over to the left side of the flagpole, and he's looking down.
St. Michael - "My child, we have asked you to send the word to mankind that they will read in the Book of life, the Bible, the words given to them that will fulfill the prophecy of the latter days, Apocalypse. You are living the days of the Revelations. Read them and be knowledgeable, and you will not be caught without the light." - July 8, 1974

COALITION
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to the right side of the flagpole. The sky is lighting up. And I am looking into a mapped area that looks like—yes, it is Africa. And I can see.....I'm looking over from the African part of the map, and I can see the other countries of Egypt and Israel and, Oh! Now Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "A coalition, My child, of the dark races. The world is fast heading to the culmination of the Armageddon." - March 18, 1975

MIDEAST
"Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Already your sons are being sent to be there with the invasion in the Mideast. Is this what you want, My children? Can you not give your prayers and acts of reparation for those who have no one to pray for them? They are all Our sheep and We wish that they would be gathered into a holy land. The word 'holy' strikes a chord of misery, My child; I have no way to explain but to tell you, misery." - Our Lady, May 25, 1983

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttps://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!

2.)  The Complete Virgin Mary’s Bayside Prophesies in 6 Paperback Books..

The Virgin Mary brings directions from God, the Father in Heaven on how to survive the end times.  God, the Father, through the Virgin Mary, tells what is coming, how to prepare for it, how to survive it, and how to even stop it.  These six volumes along with the Bible are most important to save yourself and your loved ones.  Order it now.  Tomorrow may be to late.  These 6 pocket size paperback books costs $33.00.   (Order Form)

3.)  Heaven's Home Protection Packet...

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well.
