Meh. Since when has there not been fighting in the Middle East? Even before the current three contenders for it (Christians, Jews, Muslims), pagans were bickering, squabbling, and spilling blood over it. (Rome, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, Canaan...)
When God comes, He will come. Never mind when He does.
Actually, I take that back. We should always be on the alert. While the Bible does talk about catastrophic prophecy that predicts the end times, we are also told by the Lord Himself we should be ready for Him always:
1. 'Then the kingdom of Heaven will be like this: Ten wedding attendants took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2. Five of them were foolish and five were sensible:
3. the foolish ones, though they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4. whereas the sensible ones took flasks of oil as well as their lamps.
5. The bridegroom was late, and they all grew drowsy and fell asleep.
6. But at midnight there was a cry, "Look! The bridegroom! Go out and meet him."
7. Then all those wedding attendants woke up and trimmed their lamps,
8. and the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, "Give us some of your oil: our lamps are going out."
9. But they replied, "There may not be enough for us and for you; you had better go to those who sell it and buy some for yourselves."
10. They had gone off to buy it when the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding hall and the door was closed.
11. The other attendants arrived later. "Lord, Lord," they said, "open the door for us."
12. But he replied, "In truth I tell you, I do not know you."
13. So stay awake, because you do not know either the day or the hour.
In other words, we must always be on our guard. We don't know when He will come. Don't rely on prophecies to tell you when He's coming. Be ready before it even LOOKS like Jesus is coming back!
