Def thot this was worth posting from a pal on FB.  She is way ahead of me on the goings on in Israel and signs of the times there:

Here is something that happened this week: Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran, since this past Sunday Iran, to protest the execution of a Shiite Muslim cleric named Nimr al-Nimr, overrun the Saudi embassy in Tehran, and as a consequence Saudi Arabia gave Iranian diplomats 48 hours to pack up and leave.Iran. Written over 800 years ago, the Yalkut Shimoni has something extremely relevant to say about today’s headlines. Since the Jewish people think that the Messiah is coming this year Saudi Arabia’s actions are being seen as the fulfillment of a messianic Jewish prophecy found in the ancient Jewish holy book known as the Yalkut Shimoni. ‘The year that Melech HaMoshiach [Messiah the King] will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The King of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom (the West) to take counsel, but the King of Persia will in turn, destroy the entire world. The nations of the world will be outraged and panicked. They will fall on their faces, and they will experience pains like birth pangs. Israel too will be outraged and in a state of panic and ask, where do we go? But say unto them, “My children, do not fear, ‘Higiyah zman geulatchem’ [the time of your redemption has come]. And in the last redemption will be different from the first which was followed by further bondage and pain. After this last redemption, you will not again experience any further pain or subjugation.” As the end of the Hebrew year approaches, this is the advise the Jewish people are given “To this very day,the Arabs excel in prayer which occupies a significant place in their daily ritual. In order to counteract the power of their prayer, we need to improve the concentration and intensity of our own prayers.”
