Middle Eastern madness has always boiled and bubbled to the surface throughout history. Such has been the case in recent times with rioting fomented, almost certainly, it is thought, by the Muslim Brotherhood. The rioting has brought down the likes of Egyptian President-Dictator Hosni Mubarak and threatens the Syrian tyrant Basher Al-Assad’s brutal regime. The Mideast cauldron is synopsized from the following report: The Arab Spring, literally the Arabic Rebellions or the Arab Revolutions, is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world. Since 18 December 2010 there have been revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya; civil uprisings in Bahrain, Syria, and Yemen; major protests in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, and Oman, as well as on the borders of Israel, and minor protests in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Western Sahara. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring) Most leaders of the nations mentioned have either resigned or have promised not to seek reelection when their terms are up. It is a region that pulses with rumors of war, as the much-hated Israel sits at the center of the tumult. The rioting is like a spreading disease across the skin of the land where man’s final war will conclude. But it is not a rash that can be kept localized. Europe has been experiencing hot spots that are jumping the Atlantic to pop up even in the United States. Anger over governmental economic chicanery and/or mismanagement, as well as perceived racial biases, is the driving force behind each and every instance of the rioting that keeps breaking out. Lawlessness is intensifying in the UK. David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer vacation as police arrested 525 people following the worst rioting in Britain since the 1980s. London saw a third night of violence and unrest spread to other cities. The prime minister, speaking outside his Downing Street office in London after a meeting with ministers and security chiefs, said the House of Commons will hold a one-day emergency session on Aug. 11. Police leave has been cancelled and Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh said the London force is preparing for "mass disorder again tonight." "I’m determined, the government is determined, that justice will be done,” Cameron said. "This is criminality pure and simple, and it has to be confronted and defeated." (Eddie Buckle and Robert Hutton, "Cameron Recalls Commons as 525 Held After Three Nights of Riots," 8/9/11, Bloomberg Businessweek; my thanks to Jonathan Stettin) Gasoline bombs have been thrown at vehicles and businesses have been set on fire in the current outbreak of violence. It began August 6, following the shooting of a man in the northwest section of London, Tottenham, when a man of Afro-Caribbean origin was killed in a shootout with police. Tottenham has a heavy concentration of people of Afro-Caribbean origin. Prime Minister Cameron hasn’t yet called out the military to control the rioters, but word is that British armed forces could be called upon, should rioting spread and become unmanageable. The British rioting comes on the heels of upheavals over austerity cuts on social largess in nations across Europe. Greece, Portugal, and others such as Ireland have seen outbreaks of destructive rioting. We remember the recent mobs in Wisconsin when the governor worked within the legislative process to limit government union power in order to bring sanity to state budgetary spending. Civility was not found when many of the protesters–who were riotous by any definition of the term--didn’t get their way. One is left only to imagine the nightmarish goings-on in the large cities like Detroit, Chicago, LA, and others in the aftermath that will follow the Rapture. The Holy Spirit (the Restrainer) will withdraw from His office as governor on the consciences of mankind, we are told in 2 Thessalonians 2: 6-8. Then evil will be unleashed to make life hell on earth for all of those left behind to face God’s wrath and judgment. Jesus foretold that as part of the end-of-the-age signs, nation will rise against nation (Luke 21: 10a). The word "nation" in Greek translates to ethnos or ethnic in English. Jesus was saying that racial strife–as well as economic, unsolvable turmoil--will be at the center of the nations in distress with perplexity (Luke 21: 25b). Based upon things going on in the Middle East, Europe, and now the U.S., with mobs beginning to do what is right in their own eyes, it seems to me that post-Rapture rumblings can be heard on the prophetic horizon.
