Part 1 of a 3 part series. Listen to Part 2: As Seen in the Church
Key Scriptures:
Nahum 1:1-15 – The burden of Nineveh; God’s way in the whirlwind
Isaiah 46:8-11 – God declaring the end from the beginning; calling a ravenous bird from the east
Matthew 24:8 – Birth pangs/beginning of travail
Summary Points:
-God’s sovereignty is at work in catastrophic historical events—WWI, WWII, and September 11th
-Islam’s prophetic role and goal of world domination explained from historical and theological perspective
-The Battle of Tours (732 AD) and Battle of Vienna (1683) as pivotal moments in Islamic expansion
-Current events as “birth pangs” of the coming Kingdom, not random chaos
