Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."
A trial has started in the United Arab Emirates for thirty Islamic extremists accused of setting up an illegal arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The defendants all claimed innocence and said they were victims of torture in prison.
Twenty of the defendants are Egyptian nationals including three doctors. Six Egyptians are being tried in absentia as part of the trial. All are accused of being part of the Islamist political society al-Islah, which prosecutors say is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
This is the second trial of Islamists connected to the establishment of an illegal Brotherhood branch. In July, 69 Islamists were convicted for their connections to the group and were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
