An asteroid crashes through the Russian sky, the likes of which no one alive can remember seeing, and the world spectacle leaves a trail of smoke and injuries in its wake. A comet named ISON, touted by some as the brightest ever, arrives in the same year, a year referred to by space publications as "The Year of the Comets." But that would be only the beginning of heavenly wonders. NASA computer models confirmed a rare "tetrad" of blood moons is prepared to fly its heavenly banner in 2014 and 2015, and along with it the sun will darken as well. But back on Earth another spectacle is unfolding. Through the most unlikely series of events, Barack Obama was catapulted from the Illinois state senate into the White House in just four years, causing some to call him the luckiest politician alive. But was his rise to power only luck? The Israelis would ponder that question as his first term came to an end, suddenly finding themselves almost completely surrounded again by their enemies. And at the U. N., where the Jews are hopelessly outnumbered, efforts to create a Palestinian state in the heart of Israel are leaping forward, even as the Israeli leader finally draws a red line against Iran and its nuclear bomb program. With profound geopolitical shifts unfolding in the Mideast since the rise of Obama, a particular interpretation of Matthew 24:6 is causing an array of prophetic Scripture to come to life, fitting together like the pieces of a puzzle. And their harmony with current events portends a coming sequence of world-shaking events on the horizon: An Israel-Iran war, a grand peace treaty in Palestine, and then a great war among nations.
