Arab League agrees to create joint military force - BBC News

The heads of Arab League countries meeting in Egypt have agreed to create a joint Arab military force.

A 10-nation, Saudi-led coalition is currently carrying out air strikes against rebels in Yemen.

Analysts say it is unlikely all 22 members will join the proposed force.
Egyptian officials quoted by Associated Press said the force would comprise some 40,000 elite troops, supported by war planes, naval vessels and light armour.

Very interesting.....does not the little horn subdue 3 of the 10 horn confederacy unto himself in Revelation? No coincidence that it is exactly a 10 nation coalition.......something to ponder for sure!

Interesting indeed. Not sure we're quite there yet, but if they make war with Israel/God's people then we can know more. This phrase, ten horns, appears in Daniel 7, Revelation 12, 13, and a quite a bit in 17...

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

- Revelation of John 17:9-14

Found this from book of Daniel...

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
- Daniel 7:23-27

Stockholm: Microchipped office workers feel 'very modern' using hand-implanted chips to open doors

Instead of using identification cards and pass codes, all the staff at companies based in the Swedish tech business incubator Epicentre are using microchips implanted into their hands to get into and around the workplace.
All each member of staff has to do is wave their hand in front of a sensor and the door opens.

Each hand-implanted chip currently also enables staff at the office complex, opened at the end of the January, to operate a photocopier and swap contact details via a smartphone.

"It felt pretty scary, but at the same time it felt very modern, very 2015," said Lin Kowalska, who works for the charity GiveSome in the building, shortly after she was chipped.

The prospect of an Arab league is interesting regardless of whatever implications prophecy may have.

If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a strategic objective (and gamble) on the part of ISIS.

3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth.Revelation 12

It's mostly a Saudi effort right now, but it's a good sign among Arab-Muslim nations that they fear the kind of radicalized "faith" being spewed by al-Baghdadi and ISIS followers. Maybe it will forestall the inevitable, but nonetheless, thus comes judgment.

the other 12 arab, nations , i would guess, will have mixed opinion, on force being used ie a house divided etc.
