Mubarak’s regime in Egypt fell faster than seemed possible, encouraged by the regime change that protestors were able to accomplish in Tunisia. Other regimes will likely fall in coming weeks, if not days.</p>
<p>The Middle East has been the source of unending trouble for the world with its many religious, political, and economic challenges. Even though there is presently so much confusion and turmoil, we know what the conclusion of this matter will be, and it will be good. The unfolding scenario that we are witnessing now is found in Isaiah 19. However, the path that the events will take before the ultimate conclusion will likely present increasing challenges which will bring increasing stress on the nations. To be prepared for the times, we need to understand them.
