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."
Saudi Arabian officials announced the arrests of 93 people who are connected to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS.
The Saudi Press Agency reported the arrests took place between December and April with all but five of those arrested Saudi nationals. The group had set up training sites and planned suicide bombings.
One of the reported targets was the U.S Embassy in Riyadh.
Intelligence officials say that two Syrians and one Saudi national had planned to drive a car loaded with explosives into the embassy. The revelation explains why the State Department mysteriously shut down Saudi embassies in mid-March citing security concerns.
The largest cell consisted of 65 Saudi nationals who plotted an attack “on residential areas, and operations to incite sectarian sedition.” Another 15 member cell was focused on bombing security headquarters and soldiers.
Security officials said they arrested Nawaf al-Enezi for the killing of two police officers in Riyadh earlier this month. The ISIS operative was detained after a shootout with police about 60 miles east of the capital city.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi stated in November that ISIS should focus efforts on attacking Saudi Arabia and the ruling Saudi family.
