Revelation 16:12-16 – And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

America will maintain the greatest navy in the world in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean throughout the last three and one-half years prior to the final battle of Armageddon, but will not commit ground troops until Armageddon – And maybe not even them!

I do not believe America is going to directly commit ground troops or combatant air support to defend Israel, regardless of who is President, but Obama’s election would make my belief much stronger I am right.

I have taught for more than 30 years the United States will not commit ground support or direct combatant military air support engagement, when Israel is initially attacked by the forces of Islam, nor will Russia and China provide the same kind of support for Islamic forces during the initial attack. The initial attack by Islamic forces will be a success. It will be strictly an Islam versus Jew war, and Israel will be driven into the Negev. Israel will storm back out of the Negev some three and one half years later to drive north and east to claim Abraham’s land grant in Genesis 15:18.

Many of the nations of the earth will provide logistic and humanitarian assistance to one or both sides, depending on their national interests, for three and one half years. The final battle of Armageddon will occur at the end of the three and one half years, and the nations of the known world, (at the time John wrote the Book of Revelation in about 96 A.D.), will join the Islamic nations in a final attempt to destroy the Jews forever. It is at that time the Lord Jesus Christ will return at His Second Advent to destroy the armies of Islam and those nations joined with them, killing most of them by the greatest geological upheaval in the great Jordan Rift Valley the world has known since God placed man on this earth.

Revelation 16:15-21 – Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
