What to Expect in the Middle East

My good friend Dan Friedman from NYC asked me for my call on latest events here in the Middle East. With Hashem's loving grace and time permitting, I hope to show in the coming days how recent events are exactly according to prophecies. Meanwhile, while looking at events through emuna (not political!) eyes, here's what to expect in the Middle East

* No democracies will emerge from the rubble of the upheavels in the Arab countries. The secular tyrants will be replaced by Islamic rule. More specifically:

* Qaddafi's fall in Libya is a matter of days. As a secular tyrant, he beat down the Muslims. They will now emerge to unite the country under Islam.

* Expect to see a figure like Sheikh Yusuf el Qaradawi became the Islamic leader of Egypt; Egypt too will unite under Islam. Imagine the ramifications of the Muslim Brotherhood controlling the Suez Canal.

* Abdulla II's days are numbered in Jordan. It may take a little longer, but Jordan will become Islamic too.

* Today crude oil is $86/barrel; expect that price to double in the nearest future.

* Hamas will soon overthrow the corrupt PA in the West Bank; sounds like a longshot, but it's part of the scenario. Why? It will complete the noose of radical Islam that surrounds Israel's neck. But out of this fear, G-d willing, will sprout a marvelous return to Hashem and a miraculous redemption.

* What can the West look forward to? It looks like major oil shortages, skyrocketing food prices, and much more economic difficulties; remember, these factors are historically fertile ground for antisemitism in the Diaspora.

Brothers and sisters, I know things look scary over here, but I urge you to start thinking about aliya right away.
