For thousands of years, mankind has been fascinated with the roles of real or imagined conspiracies in the lives of individuals and societies. It's no different today.

Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama gave a key policy address in Cairo, Egypt, addressing many concerns of the world's Muslims. Some of what he said shocked observers. With Islam on the rise around the world, how do the President's comments relate to prophesied end-time events?

Imagine the horror!  A visit to one of the most moving memorials in Washington, DC shattered as a madman rushes in the front door of the building and starts shooting.  It must have been a terrifying few minutes as the gunman exchanged fire with security guards, one of whom was killed.  The shooter, gravely wounded, was subdued and taken into custody, as visitors to the memorial and workers looked on in fear and dismay.

Tehran is boiling and world opinion is hardening over Iran's recent presidential election.  What is happening inside Iran today?  How are the great powers reacting?  Do recent events align with Bible prophecy?  Could these events accelerate the emergence of the prophesied end-time king of the South?  What are the implications for Europe, America and the world? 

Over the past several years, there has been much debate as to whether Iraq's former malevolent dictator, Sadaam Hussein, possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction prior to the U.S.-led invasion by a "coalition of the willing."

Some former military officers have alleged that Iraq sent weapons out of the country to Syria in military truck convoys and several gutted 747 aircraft flying sorties from Iran "caught on tape" by U.S. spy satellites,. However, once under Coalition control, actual WMD were not found – even after diligent search.
