The stage is being set for the hostility that will lead to the deadly wound. Russia will band together with many Middle Eastern nations, including Iran (Persia), to come against Israel, thus causing the deadly wound to the Middle Eastern head. When Jerusalem is surrounded, this will prompt the arrival of the Antichrist, who will end this hostility and heal this deadly head wound to bring a false world peace. This false world peace along with his lies and miracles will deceive the whole world to believe he is Jesus.
