Spain is currently rotating President of the EU

Spain just took over command of the UN troops in Lebanon stationed on Israel's northern border

King Juan Carlos, Commander in Chief of Spain's military forces and was just in Lebanon inspecting the troops last week

Netanyahu said last week he want Spain and Italy to mediate with Syria. Both Moratinos, Spain's FM, Berlusconi, of Italy (both were just in Israel) and Netanyahu said they expected negotiations to begin in a couple of weeks......

The ties between Spain and Saudi Arabia are of particular interest. They are mentioned together in prophecy, in the Gog/Magog invasion, and in Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 38:13 speaks of Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish and its young lions (colonies)

Sheba and Dedan are easily identifiable as areas within Saudi Arabia, which will not be part of the Invading Coalition against Israel, but allied with Tarshish and her colonies.

So who are the "merchants of Tarshish" and her colonies or young lions?

Tarshish is a reference to the European area around the Meditteranean Sea, with her superior naval and sea-faring vessels which made her an ocean traveling merchant. The primary country involved in this trade and home of the most prominent ports was... Spain. Many believe that this passage is a indirect reference to the USA in prophecy as we are "young lions" since we were a colony/colonized by Europeans.

This connection between Spain (Tarshish) and Saudi Arabia ( Sheba, Dedan) is quite compelling. It appears as if almost all of the pieces in Ezekiel 38 are aligning exactly as foretold.....

Ezekiel also implies that as the massive invading force moves toward Israel that the response of Saudi Arabia and the Western nations will be to simply inquire as to their intent. It seems that nobody responds directly on Israel's behalf to help.

.Fortunately, God never needs help to implement His plans...
