In this episode of Israel- Why is the Middle East Important?, we continue from the pervious episode to further explain the importance of the TIME we are in.  This time, we believe, is the beginning of the end.  NOT Armegeddon, NOT Ezekiel 38, 39.  But a season of conflicts when Israel's neighbors and  those in proximity,  begin aggression towards her.  Join Neil and Jeff as they conclude this two-parter on Psalm 83 and begin the "The Beginning of The End".
