Malachi 1; 2; 3; 4]
He will honor His covenant with a believing remnant Isaac and Jacob at the end of this present age ..... but the other's of Abraham's offspring will go down in flames [Psalms;

Ezekiel 36; 38; 39;
Zechariah 12; 13; 14;
Revelation 16:1-16; 19:11-21]
What we see today is the setting up for the final end game of this divide .... the losers of the contest will appear to be the winners for a short period [
Daniel 11:40;
Revelation 11:2; 13:1-5], but the Lord of Israel will come and destroy them .... and Israel will have the victory [

It is the mixed adherents of Islam in the Middle East today who will follow Satan's beast in the little horn [

This king [little horn] of the northern Middle East will not worship the God of his fathers [of Abraham, Ishmael, and Esau] .... but will instead honor the "god of forces" who is none other than Satan [
Revelation 13:1-4]
