I believe is setting the stage for the ultimate global conflict which is the Battle of Armageddon. The Bible describes a massive coalition moving in from the east toward the nation of Israel. We will look at the ultimate showdown that brings history to a close near the end of this article.

On that day we will see our Lord face to face and He will give us our rewards or we will suffer loss based on what we do for His kingdom in this life.
