Which prophecy are you thinking of, Rick? What do you think? Have other people already presented their viewpoint that you can share here?

Do you think the 1st WW was prophetic? 2nd WW? Gulf? Falklands? Horishma? 9/11? Afghanistan? Kosovo? Vietnam? .....

I tend to think of this conflict as the king of north and south in Daniel. My take however is that the US is the king of the north because it refers to the king of the north as having many ships and there is no other country with near as many as the US .I try not to expect everything that goes on in the world as having to do with something that is written in the bible but am convinced that it is possible.

Last time I looked Babylon was in Iraq. How can you be so sure this isn't present day. Don't forgt Isa 13 too.
Isa 13:4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
