As the threat of international violence erupting in the Middle East between Iran and Israel over the development of nuclear weapons, let us turn to the Holy Bible for direction.

What does the Holy Bible direct us to do, if anything?

Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

There certainly are “wars” and “rumors of wars” in the news everyday.  And, the Holy Scriptures prophesy that there eventually will be signs that the end is very near.  The Holy Bible describes the end-time events.

Read these passages for yourself.  How well do you think God’s Words (recorded over 2000 years ago) line up with what has transpired recently, and what is now transpiring in the Middle East?

Here are some additional Scripture to study and use to guide your “watching” and your “prayers.”

Matthew 24

Mark 13

Luke 21
