Do not be fooled by the calm that covers over the problems which lie right beneath the surface. Too many decades have prepared for this year. Yes, this year will be the time when what has been planned for centuries will break out. The interdependence of nations and the worldwide communications, the new weapons will combine with the age-old feuds and anger.

Formerly, I spoke about the uprisings in Egypt and Libya . I said that they were only the beginning, the first round of evils that would burn away protection around Israel. I said that they would burn themselves out when the fuel for those fires was consumed. Now, this has taken place and the designs of the Evil One have been fulfilled in these nations. They are really plunged into greater darkness than was present under the dictators, because the Muslim power has taken new life and will spread. It is not the power of old dictators who ruled for years and would have inevitably stepped down. The Muslims are a young power, new and fresh on the scene, seeing these nations as new place of victory and triumph. They will be a rising force.

Now that this has been accomplished, what will be Satan’s next move, the next piece of his plan? The leaders have come together in Chicago. They have shook hands and agreed. NATO will pull out of Afghanistan more quickly than expected. They congratulate themselves on a job well-done. What a mistake! Soon everything will fail. The governments are not stable and the terrorists are ready to return. If they have fought so well when the foreign troops were on their soil what do you think they will do when the troops are removed? Will they suddenly surrender? Will they have a change of heart? The words from Chicago are music to their ears and they are dancing for joy. They see the reality. These lands will belong to them. This is the next piece of Satan’s puzzle.
