On the Brink of Middle East War?

Tension between the United States and Iran are growing and many fear a war might be inevitable, as the U.S. opposes Iran's quest for nuclear weapons that they have stated they would use to wipe out Israel.  As the world looks on through the lens of their world view we as Christians try to understand these events through the prophetic lens of the Bible, which warns us of upheaval and wars as the enemies of God oppose Him and Israel in the final days.
