I assume that you're referring to Isaiah 21 which prophecies that Elam and Media (Persia) will attack Arabia. In this chapter, Arabia is referred to as Babylon and similar references and language are found in the Book of Revelation when referring to mystery Babylon. The Arabs refer to the Arabian peninsula as the 'desert by the sea'. As for the modern location of such places as Dedan and Kedar, they are to be found in Western Saudi Arabia along the Red Sea coast where the 'holy' Muslim cities of Mecca and Medina are to be found.

I'm only guessing that this prediction could mean that Iran will attack and destroy Saudi Arabia including Mecca the heart of modern Babylonian false god worship. Don't forget that the Iranians have (probably) got nukes.

Agreements mean nothing. If Iran attacks Saudi Arabia, Obama is a coward and will do nothing. He also has his head between a rock and a hard place where Iran is concerned. If Saudi Arabia goes up in smoke, the Muslims will be at war with each other. ISIS and al-Qaeda hate the Saudis but they also despise Iran. There will be fireworks but I doubt they'll come to the West.... at least not straight away.

I am much more concerned with us going there rather than them coming here in this particular situation.  The Soudi's seem to have some thing they hold over us throughout the past 50 to 60 years.

I'm thinking the same thing and I believe that 'thing' is oil.  That chip isn't nearly as valuable now as the U.S. can produce pretty much all of our own energy.  If war between the Sunnis and Shia breaks out, I don't see any reason for the U.S. to get involved.

me either, but I didn't see any reason for us to enter Iraq either.   I understand Afghanistan for the Taliban was stopping the planting of poppies and it was hurting the CIA's black budget.

I take your point, but if the destruction of Saudi Arabia is on a nuclear holocaust level, nobody will be going over there.

There will be no oil to save because the oilfields will be burning, the oil industry infrastructure will be destroyed and huge areas will no-go zones of radioactive waste and desolation. What are troops going to go over there and do, other than die from nuclear fall-out?
