What an amazing day, a day of infamy, terror and tragedy. The one question I've been asked the most today in countless e-mails and IMs is: Does this have anything to do with Bible prophecy? Yes. The United States has given the world many gifts and played many different roles, but from the perspective of Bible prophecy, the U.S. has only one real role, and that is to be the defender and protector of Israel. The enemies of Israel hate the U.S. for performing this role. The days events are indeed of prophetic import in that they stem from the conflict over that people and that land that God has chosen and called His own. This was but a battle in the larger war for Jerusalem, the City of God.
