Pray for Peace in the Middle East

Is Bible prophesy regarding the return of Jesus to judge the earth about to happen? Even Jesus says no one knows when that will happen except God the Father: “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only" (Matthew 24:36). Watch for involvement in the war from Russia and China as many believe ancient documents like the Bible reference these two countries as getting involved and descending on Israel to destroy it- just before Jesus returns. 

The war in Iran could be just the beginning as we see things in the Middle East heat up. So, stop, pray, and pray for peace in the region. Mourn for those in battle and those who have lost their lives. And go before God in prayer that He and He alone would stop the war. 

In ancient times, when someone was mourning, the men would tear their clothes and wear sometimes switch the sackcloth garments and place ashes on their heads. I'm not ready to go back to those activities, but my heart is certainly concerned about current events- and I am praying for peace- and for all those that don't know Jesus Christ and his gift of eternal life for all who would believe wholeheartedly in Him!
