The morally reprehensible actions in the Middle East will be permitted by God to continue for a while, but under angelic oversight that often leads to consequences for the perpetrators, as observed in the past. God is aware of both the sins and the resulting punishments. The eagle in the sky is the sign. Eventually, over the course of two or three decades, just when things seem to have settled, this will escalate into full-scale invasions against the wrongdoers. This will mark the beginning of Armageddon. God will allow it to a certain extent before ending it. Then, God Himself will administer punishment. The final events of the Apocalypse will then commence, with no further delay.
