>SA>The relationship between the Persian Shiite Iran and Arab countries

SA>Remember, the goal of Islam is to restore the Caliphate & have the whole
SA>world under Sharia law -

That's the Wahhabe version.  Many Saudis adhere to that concept.

SA>the goal of dominionist Christianity is to impose
SA>Christian dominion over the earth in order for Jesus Christ to return -

That's the Dispensationalist version.   Many Evangelicals (and Bush)
adhere to that concept.

SA>the goal of those seeking to impose noahide laws is to prepare the way
SA>for Messiah to appear ...

A sect of Judaism holds that view.  Not all Jews.  However, that view is
gaining more acceptance among Jews.

SA>it is possible that all three groups will go
SA>to war in the hope of ultimate victory at the expense of the others -

Hmmm.  Lemme see.  There are a billion Muslims in the world.
There are a billion Christians in the world.  There are only
some 10-15 million Jews in the world.  Seems like the Jews
are grossly outnumbered...

SA>it is also possible that the New Age "Christ",
"Messiah", "Mahdi" "World
SA>Teacher" will appear and be accepted as Christ / Messiah / Mahdi etc &
SA>prevent all out war, at least until he reveals his true identity & intent,
SA>and breaks the covenant & invades Israel.

This part may seem off-topic to the discussion, but it is more a
prelude to what comes next.  IOW, for a new "Christ" to be accepted,
the world has to be prepared to accept that new "Christ" as the One.

In about a year, a worldwide flu pandemic will break out, the mortality
rate being around 70 percent or higher.  It has happened before.  The
last time being in 1918, with the Spanish Flu.  How do I know this will
happen again one year from now?  The tsunami event of December 26, 2004.
Krakatoa (created tsunamis) - one year later comes flu pandemic.
Flash floods throughout world in 1917 - one year later comes pandemic.
In 1918, most who died from flu pandemic were under 40 years of age.
The reason older folks generally survived was due to previous exposure
of same or similar virus.  Remember the four horses of the Apocalypse,
and the order they are presented.
