The crisis in the Middle East has taken another very ominous turn.  Iran is threatening to get directly involved in the conflict, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  For a long time, I have been specifically warning my readers that an apocalyptic conflict between Israel and Iran would be coming.  Sadly, now we are literally on the verge of seeing that happen.  Both nations possess weapons of immense destructive power, and there is going to be so much death and destruction in the days ahead.
