Many fulfilled prophecies tell us we are at the end of the End Times. The Four Horses of the Apocalypse (apostasy, communism, capitalism and Islam) are on the run. Russia, China, the European Union and radical Islam are fighting to replace America as the leader of the world. The World Wars, Cold War and Iraq Wars are five trumpets that already sounded. Iraq War III and Armageddon are still future. Since we are so near the end of the Church Age, there is one important piece (pun intended) of the puzzle still missing, peace in the Middle East. The treaty between Israel, Palestine and the Arab nations is required before the Tribulation begins. See
Covenant.
