[The Gulf states are going to become the focal point of the world's financial recovery.  Daily, we are seeing stories that lament the decine of the west (read: U.S., etc.) and the financially secure nations in the mideast.  This is not happening by chance.  It is prophecy being fulfilled during these seven years of transition.]

[A time of peace is soon coming between Isael and its Arab neighbors.  Not only will the Arab counties "tollerate" Israel's religion, a whole new spiritual awakening will occur and the Arab nations will embrace Israel's new faith.  This spiritual awakening will spread around the entire world.]

[Note that a lot of the problem is their being pegged to the US Dollar.  On the other side of 2011 Israel and ten nations of the Middle East will have a currency that will become the world's standard.  All the nations of the earth will desire to do business with the great "ten toes" of Daniel's vision for this last generation]

[It's interesting that this projection is for 2011, a very important benchmark year that is fast approaching.  All of the Middle East will prosper mightily during the next decade in large part due to oil and gas.  Oil is prophesied to be discovered in Israel as well]
