The New United European Community In Light Of Bible Prophecy (24 Of 26)

c. Both Iran and Iraq have a great hatred for Israel.
D. The spirit of the three beasts is here again.
1. These former world empires are making news in the 1990s.
2. Neither Greece, nor Iran, nor Iraq, nor the Roman Empire are significant without each other.
