-la r:r .t months, the Middle- East has figured
r ;y In tli news. Many persons have therefore
t r:. -i the fear that the problems between Arabs and
J..-S n,'t lead to a world conflict.
VWriUEj in the November 30, 1974, issue of Le Monde,
tire Fontaine states: "Swift action must be taken to
prevent the tragedy in which Jew and Arab have been
embroiled for the last quarter at a century inm muuiu-s
fee apocalypse. What a weight of shame would the world s
rich and 'civilized' nations have to bear if they bad to stand
by powerlessly until perhaps the flames engulfed them
too." -n Reprinted in ATLAS WORLD PRESS REVIEW.

Could it be that events in the Middle East are shaping up
fr . what the Bible calls "Har-Magedon or
JArmageddon"? Rev. 16:14,16). Many people might be led
to reach such a conclusion because1 the name "Har- -Magedon,"
meaning "Mountain of Megiddo," can be linked
to the Middle East. Some nineteen miles southeast of
modern Haifa in the state of Israel lie the ruins of ancient
Megiddo. Over a period spanning more than three
millenniums the area around Megiddo has been the scene
of many defensive battles. ' u ,,
I The war foretold to be waged at this symbolic. Har
Mageddon" is not a conflict between nations. It is
designated in the Scriptures as the "war of the great day of
God the Almighty." (Rev. 16:14). The apostle John
symbolically described the forces that the nations will be
confronting: "I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white
horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and
True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness, . .
Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him . . .
And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword,
mat he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd
them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the
anger of the wrath of God the Almighty." (Rev. 19:11-15).
So the nations will suffer defeat at the hands of the "King of
kings and Lord of lords," Jesus Christ, and powerful angelic
forces. Rev. 19:16. ; L A
The Bible reveals that the "war of the great day of God
the Almighty" is part of a "great tribulation" to come upon
the entire human system of things. (Rev. 7:1-3, 14). The .
survivors of that "great tribulation," for example, are
described as a numberless "great crowd," "out of ALL
NATIONS ' AND TRIBES AND PEOPLES AND
TONGUES." (Rev. 7:9). Accordingly, the great
tribulation" spoken of in the Bible must embrace much
more than just the Middle East. It will encircle the globe.
: But might an upheaval in the Middle East furnish the
Jspark" for the "great tribulation" to begin? The Bible
does not refer to any specific location in the Middle East or
elsewhere as the place for that event to start. The details of
new matters will work out remain to be seen.
; ! We should not go beyond what a particular prophecy
actually says. Bible prophecies cannot be understood in jr
FULL detail until the events to which they point take place. Jff Yt fh TP ft
'. 2 h roii nnt tn simulate as to what certain happenings i f V' V.w
ki the Middle East or elsewhere may or may not mean.
-"Surely it is far wiser to live daily in expectation of God's ,
great day. This is the only course that will result in survival.
Jesus Christ admonished his followers to remain awake to
r the certain fulfillment of his prophetic words.
He urged: "Pay attention to yourselves inai your ucai
never become weighed down with overeating and heavy
drinking and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day be
instantly upon you as a snare. For it will come in upon all
those dwelling upon the face of all the earth ( not merely the

; Take time to consider what the Bible really has to say.
Exercise care not to draw unwarranted conclusions from
the changeable trends in world affairs, whether they relate
fo the Middle East or not. Concentrate on the truly
important things living in harmony with the prophetic
Jword, applying the Bible's counsel in your life.
