The Coming Oil Storm: The Imminent End of Oil...and Its Strategic Global Role in End-Times Prophecy

by Ron Rhodes

Overview

Ron Rhodes, a leading scholar on biblical prophecy, reveals how looming tensions over oil factor into end-time global alignments and how they may lead to a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the world. Much of the world’s oil is in the custody of unstable and sometimes hostile regimes. Nations around the world are positioning themselves to protect their shrinking piece of the pie of dwindling oil reserves. Global tensions continue to rise.

In The Coming Oil Storm Rhodes documents the role of Islam as the religion in control of most of the world’s oil reserves and shows convincingly that once Muslims are in possession of the two swords of oil and nuclear weapons, they will feel empowered to act as they wish. Oil could even play a role in the path to Armageddon.

The Coming Oil Storm is an essential guide for understanding the state of the world today…and what’s yet to come.
