That is where I am coming from, and that will be the basis of all my writing as I examine and comment on the situation in this region, the Middle East.

Both Stan and I see our writing the pages of our blogs as a fulfillment of the divine commission to be “watchmen on the walls,” a task that is becoming increasingly important as the Almighty moves us closer to the fulfillment of His will.

We are certainly living in exciting days. Stay tuned!
