I found this very important article on the Rapture Ready website. It's not only informative but it's a timely reminder. Identifying the enemy is key. These people have been slaughtering Christians, on a massive scale, for the last 7 years. These people have never let the tiny state of Israel have a moment's peace. Battering away at her with relentless war. 

It has taken awhile to realise fully, but the rest of the world - no matter how wealthy or politically powerful, are merely pawns in this ongoing battle between good and evil. Precious little Israel - Jerusalem - is the prize. It is where satan wishes to rule from. His goal is to thwart Almighty God.

It is where we will be when this is all over. In the New Jerusalem. Meanwhile, we WATCH as this epic battle rapidly reaches it's conclusion.
