Saudi Arabia is leading a military coalition that is impacting Yemen:<\/p>\n

\n

The Saudi-UAE Alliance is the Most Dangerous Force in the Middle East Today<\/h2>\n

The Saudi-Emirati alliance is the most dangerous force in the Middle East today. Sometimes acting alone, but usually in tandem, the two dictatorships have promoted intolerant Wahhabism around the world, backed brutal tyranny in Egypt and Bahrain, supported radical jihadists while helping tear apart Libya and Syria, threatened to attack Qatar while attempting to turn it into a puppet state, and kidnapped the Lebanese premier in an effort to unsettle that nation\u2019s fragile political equilibrium. Worst of all, however, is their ongoing invasion of Yemen.<\/p>\n

To demonstrate support for its royal allies, America joined their war on the Yemeni people, acting as chief armorer for both authoritarian monarchies and enriching U.S. arms makers in the process. America\u2019s military has also provided the belligerents with targeting assistance and refueling services. And our Special Forces are on the ground assisting the Saudis. 06\/13\/18\u00a0 http:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/articles\/the-saudi-uae-alliance-is-the-most-dangerous-force-in-the-middle-east-today\/<\/a><\/p>\n

As a Saudi and Emirati-led coalition continues launching air raids in the Yemeni port city of Hudaida, nearly 4,500 families have fled their homes in the front line districts …<\/p>\n

“The sound of the warplanes above never ceases, night and day,”\u00a0Manal Qaed, an independent journalist who works with a community centre for the displaced in Hudaida, told Al Jazeera over the phone on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“The planes are low in the sky; we hear every explosion on the edges of the city,” added the 34-year-old. https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/06\/yemen-hudaida-sound-warplanes-ceases-180617181845370.html <\/a><\/p>\n

ADEN (Reuters) – Arab coalition aircraft bombarded Houthi fighters holed up at the airport of Yemen\u2019s main port Hodeidah on Monday as a senior alliance official said he hoped U.N. diplomacy could coax the Iran-aligned movement to cede the city to \u201csave the population\u201d. …<\/p>\n

The Western-backed Arab alliance launched an onslaught on Hodeidah six days ago in order to turn the tables in a long- stalemated, proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran that has compounded instability across the Middle East. https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-yemen-security\/arab-coalition-bombs-houthis-at-hodeidah-airport-urges-them-to-withdraw-idUSKBN1JE0P4<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

About 2 1\/2 years ago, Saudi Arabia announced the formation of a predominantly Islamic 34 nation military coalition (see \u2018Saudi Arabia Announces 34-Nation Islamic Alliance Against Terrorism\u2019 to Protect the \u2018Islamic Nation\u2019: Is the King of the South starting to form?<\/a>). Shortly thereafter, it held an exercise called ‘North Thunder’ which was proclaimed to be the world’s largest military exercise (see World\u2019s largest military exercise taking place in Saudi Arabia\u2013a prelude to the King of the South?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Since then, Yemen has born the brunt of Saudi-led military actions.<\/p>\n

Last year, US President Donald Trump announced what he claimed was the largest arms deal in US history with the Saudis (see Largest single arms deal in US history! Is Donald Trump arming part of the King of the South?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Expect to see an ever greater military power arise in the Middle East and North Africa than the Saudi-UAE alliance. More Egyptian involvement, to name one nation, is going to happen.<\/p>\n

The Bible tells of a militaristic coalition to be formed consisting of most of the nations that were involved in the “North Thunder” exercise. Here is a Protestant and a Catholic translation of some of the passages in Daniel related to the King of the South<\/a>:<\/p>\n

40 “In the end times the southern king will attack him. The northern king will rush at him like a storm with chariots, horses, and many ships. He will invade countries, overwhelm them, and pass through their land. 41 He will invade the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be defeated. But Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites will escape from his power. 42 He will use his power against many countries. Even Egypt will not escape. 43 He will control gold and silver treasures and all Egypt’s treasuries. Libya and Sudan will surrender to him. (GOD’S WORD Translation)<\/p>\n

40 ‘When the time comes for the End, the king of the south will try conclusions with him; but the king of the north will come storming down on him with chariots, cavalry, and a large fleet. He will invade countries, overrun them and drive on. 41 He will invade the Land of Splendour, and many will fall; but Edom, Moab, and what remains of the sons of Ammon will escape him. 42 ‘He will reach out to attack countries: Egypt will not escape him. 43 The gold and silver treasures and all the valuables of Egypt will lie in his power. Libyans and Cushites will be at his feet: (Daniel 11:40-43, New Jerusalem Bible)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that the time will come when the King of the South will lead a major military force against the final King of the North<\/a>. While the final King of the South has not yet formed (nor has the final King of the North), and will one day fail, steps to form the biblically-prophesied confederation are taking place.<\/p>\n

Many of the Arabs are getting actual military experience.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s notice that the Bible shows, in another place, that a time is coming when the confederation of Arabs and Egypt will be destroyed and it is in the FUTURE as it is near the day of the LORD:<\/p>\n

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says:<\/p>\n

“‘Wail and say, “Alas for that day!” 3 For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near- a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt, and anguish will come upon Cush. When the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down. <\/strong><\/p>\n

5 Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, Libya and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt. <\/strong><\/p>\n

6 “‘This is what the LORD says:<\/p>\n

“‘The allies of Egypt will fall and her proud strength will fail. From Migdol to Aswan they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Sovereign LORD. 7 “‘They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities. 8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are crushed.<\/p>\n

9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come (Ezekiel 30:1-9, NIV).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this seems to be the destruction of the King of the South by the King of the North<\/a> in Daniel 11:40-43, as Ezekiel 30:4-5 sounds very much like Daniel 11:42-43. Notice a different translation of verse 3:<\/p>\n

3 For the day is near,
\nEven the day of the Lord is near;
\nIt will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. (Ezekiel 30:3, NKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above is an end time prophecy as it ties in with the final time of the Gentiles, which also ties in with the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?<\/a>) and the Day of the Lord.<\/p>\n

(Perhaps it should be pointed out that Libya is mentioned specifically above in Ezekiel 30:5 as well as Daniel 11:43–though the Hebrew word in Ezekiel 30:5 for Libya seems to be the word the NIV translators translated as Lydia <\/em>(see also Libya, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia in Prophecy<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n

What is happening in Yemen shows that some of the Arab nations are capable of getting a military force together and to also use it.<\/p>\n

Those who do not feel that such a prophesied confederation as the final King of the South<\/a> will take place are in biblical error as well as out of touch with international reality.<\/p>\n

Prophesied events are moving ahead.<\/p>\n
