Good News for Jews from Torah
Iran:"a ram caught in a bush." Genesis 22.
Iraq and Iran are Medes & Persians are in "the time of the end." Daniel 8:20

Bible scholars have said for centuries that Alexander the Great fulfilled Daniel's vision by the River Ulai in Daniel 8 because he conquered the Medes and Persians at the Battle of Arbela. But Gabriel tells Daniel, “the vision is at the time of the end." Iraq and Iran are the descendents of the Medes and Persians. This suggests that Alexander was a lesson or model for our time. "What is to come has been already, and God summons each event back in its turn." Ecclesiasts 3:15, NEB. 

U.S. coalition v Iraq and Iran is Bible prophecy

• Daniel was in the palace at Shushan, but "I saw in a vision and I was by the river Ulai," Daniel 8:2. The modern name is the Karun River by Kuwait where U.S. troops deployed against Iraq in 2003.
• Alexander’s victory at Arbela was 700 miles away. Daniel saw our time and our deployment.
• The goat “came from the west on the face of the whole earth,” Daniel 8:5. The U.S. coalition came from Korea, Australia, S. America, Canada, Europe—“the whole earth.” Not so with Alexander; he did come "from the face of the whole earth.
• The goat “touched not the ground.” Daniel 8:5. Desert Storm was the first war fought largely in the air. Alexander had no choice of planes. The imagery fits "the time of the end." Alexander's victory was a type for our time
• Persia was the name for Iran today. Daniel 8 suggests war with Iran soon..

Grecia is named in Daniel 8:21, but Grecia was “the west.” Its government was more democratic, and its education emphasized the mind and reason more than manual skills and apprenticeship. So we are like Grecia.  Grecia wasn't just the country of Greece as it is today. Some troops from Bosnia (part of ancient Grecia) went to Iraq in 2003. So yes, the goat could be said to come from Grecia, Ancient Grecia also included Cyprus where U.S. ships were stationed that participated in the war with Iraq. 

Animals fight with horns. The breaking of the ram’s horns suggests the end of militancy by the ram (Islam). Islam understandably hates us as a great Satan for the tobacco, alcohol, drugs, rock music, immodest dress and immoral movies. In Scripture, the ram is more noble than a goat, but it is sacrificed to save Isaac (Israel).

Further support for this is also found in the Bible. 
Abraham, the father of Jews, Muslims and Christians, was tested over his willingness to sacrifice his son. At the last second, God spoke to release him from the test, as Abraham saw “a ram caught in a bush by his horns.” Genesis 22:13.

The ram was caught by its horns (militancy) in a bush. President Bush fulfilled this imagery. This is not saying that the war is good, but it is taking care of a "pushy" ram (militant Islam).

Islam sacrifices a ram to celebrate this in Al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, but the Quran, Surat, Al-Saffat (37: 99-111), teaches that the son spared by the ram was Ishmael. The Bible says it was Isaac. 

Which is the true Holy Book? Events in the Middle East will show if Isaac (Israel) is spared by sacrificing a ram (Islam) or if Ishmael was the son spared by a sacrifice of a ram (Isaac?) Since the Bible has outlasted infidels who said it would soon be a forgotten book, perhaps we should look closer at what it says.
