Haman's symposium to start Jan. 15Reader comment on item: Future Surprises that Could Shock the World: A Symposium Submitted by Michael S, Jan 14, 2017 at 17:51 It's interesting, that this symposium of great thinkers is looking ahead ten years. That's approximately the time frame I have in mind, for the end of the world as we now know it. My own two "shocker predictions" are: 1. [perhaps 2017?] An attack on Israel by Turkey, Iran, Sudan and E. Libya. Israel wins. This will be followed by a religious revival in Israel, during with offerings are made on the Temple Mount, and a start is made of rebuilding the Temple. 2. [2024?] The US President (not Donald Trump, but a much younger man) will demand that the offerings cease, and will begin a program of intense persecution of Jews and Christians. Those would be "shockers", wouldn't you say? REF: 1a. Ezek. 38: 1b, 2a. Rev. 11 2b: Rev. 12 2c: Rev. 13 That is what I believe, and why I believe it. I consider the Jews and the Christians to be the "two witnesses". They will both be persecuted. Notice the "buy or sell" aspect of Rev. 13:17. Such a move would be facilitated by a cashless society, which we seem to be on the brink of (viz. India, etc.) Now, I'll compare this with what you've said: 1. "Low-grade, civil insurrection" in Europe. I expect Europe to fall in line behind Donald Trump, and his program. He promises to take the lead, on issues such as immigration and Islamic Terrorism. If his program succeeds, others will want to imitate it. We are already witnessing "low grade civil insurrection" on both continents, so you seem to be on track there. 2. The decline and fall of Islamism. You predict it will be a gradual process, over the next ten years. I predict it will be a sudden event, with the defeat of Turkey and its allies. We differ on details, then, but not too much. Tomorrow, there will be a symposium not of the "great thinkers" of the world, but of its leaders. It's agenda is, in veiled terms, the destruction of Israel. I believe its organizer is one "Haman" (q.v.; not his real name). We'll see how he does.
