Middle East Stirred (5) - Next Big Event

Daniel described the significant event that follows the Stirring of the Middle East.

For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped (Dan 11:13).

The United States will invade another Middle Eastern country (see Invaded Again). This happens several years later, which suggests that the United States will not invade Libya.

The next invasion is organised after some violent people in Israel take foolhardy and unsuccessful actions that cause outrage throughout the world (Dan 11:14). The invading army will be established in Israel (beautiful land) to restore order and peace (see Rebellion in Israel).
These events do not end the struggle between the king of the North and the king of the South. Daniel 11 describes further battles between the King of the North and the King of the South (vv. 13, 25, 29, 40). The United States will invade the Middle East several times. Some of these invasions will pass through Israel causing that nation to be "trampled by the gentiles" (Luke 21:24).

These events are not signs of the second coming. They are just birth pangs marking the beginning of the Time of Distress.
