Before the 2nd coming of Jessus or 1st.of Messiah , a new /last world power should arise in middle east, an islamic aliance, and Iran/Persia is going to have a central position,
Soo, i think the UN,US ,Brits ,Euro can't stop it,
In the bible, Daniel ,Ezekiel, Isaiah,jeremiah,Revelation,etc all are talking about New Babylon, and an islamic beast power and an invasion/war vs Holly Land and acording with Nostradamus, Malachi invasion of Europe/destructions of Rome and Catholic church,
i think we live close to Apocalyptic times ,
Also,
the Mayan prophecy of the endbut: Matt. 24:36 Jesus said the following. "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
