Amir Peretz wants Security, not Settlements, as Major Fence Focus!

June 20, 2006

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The two security barrier articles, which follow, and the previous blog article about the deployment of Ira

nian Revolutionary Guards along the northern borders of Israel in Syria, brought to mind several queries I have been receiving concerning my guesstim ate of the most likely time a Jihad

attack against Israel from the north would occur, which was at a point in time between 2008 and 2012. The most recent query I received yesterday from a good friend.

It asked questions about the timing of the future Jihad, particularly if it could occur as the situation exists today.

My answer to that question is NO!

My response to other queries, received from time to time as to when the attack is likely to occur, is as follows:

1. Will it occur before the security fence is complete

d? NO

2. Will it occur while American troops are still in Iraq? NO

3. How soon after they leave is it likely to occur

? Within 3 years

I believe the Syrians and Iranians are going to be certain they have all their ducks in a row before attacking Israel. After three major failures in 1948, 1967, and 1973, you may rest assured they will wait until they have a good chance of being successful.

The two articles which follow, one from Haaretz and the other from the Jerusalem Post, show the determination of Peretz to get the show on the road to completion of a security barrier that is indeed secure.

Peretz orders Fence Route Reviewed with Palestinians in Mind

By Akiva Eldar

June 19, 2006

Defense Minister Amir Peretz has decided to review the route of the separation fence to make sure that it allows for the everyday needs

of the Palestinian population.

Peretz also wants to discuss the fence route in Jerusalem, with the goal of reducing the number of Palestinians left on the western side – currently some 200,000 – by as much as possible.

Probes by organizations such as HaMoked Center for the Defense of the Individual, B’Tselem, the Council for Peace and Security and Bimkom – Planners for Planning Rights revealed more than 10 other cases in which the route accommodates settlement expansion, even at the expense of the fence’s efficacy. These include the route east of the Neveh Ya’akov neighborhood in northeast Jerusalem, which matches the boundary of the master plan for the settlement of Geva; the route north of Gush Etzion, designed to enable the expansion of Kedar; and the route around Modi’in Ilit, which matches the master plan for expanding that settlement, in part at the expense of lands belonging to the village of Bil’in.

Peretz Sacks Chief Architect for Security Fence

Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST

June 19, 2007

Danny Tirza, the Defense Ministry’s chief architect for the West Bank security fence, was fired on Monday by Defense Minister Amir Peretz who was said to be unhappy with Tirza’ s performance in the

sensitive post.

According to news reports, Peretz was not satisfied with Tirza’s work and was interested in making changes to the planned route of the fence while focusing solely on Israel’s security needs and not on the inclusion of additional settlements.

A Very Important Development for the Future Attack from the North!

Door Open to Deploy Revolutionary Guards on Israel’s Golan Border!

June 19, 2006

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
The secret negotiations, which have lasted more than a year, between Iran and Syria, finally came to a close with the signing of an agreement that will place Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops on the Syrian border across from northern Israel’s Golan Heights.
This is, in my opinion, the most significant event that has occurred in

the Middle East in the last five years, as far as setting the stage for the attack against Israel from the north, which will occur three and a half years before the final battle of Armageddon. Please read the Archive Prophecy Update Number 46 from 2001 and the DEBKAfile Exclusive that follows it.

BEGIN PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 46

December 14, 2001

This update is a continuation of WHY the final all out war will not break out until a false peace occurs in the Middle East.

Ezekiel 38:8,9 – After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and THEY SHALL DWELL SAFELY ALL OF THEM. [9] Thou shalt ascend and come LIKE A STORM, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Daniel 11:41 – He shall enter also into THE GLORIOUS LAND, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these SHALL ESCAPE out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

The ancient boil of conflict between the descendants of Jacob, Ishmael, and the six sons of Keturah, with all its internal blend of impurities, is finally coming to a head in the Middle East. The current drastic rise in the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis will, in the end, be the catalyst that brings a temporary false peace between them. The reasons for this false peace have been outlined thoroughly in the last five prophecy updates. The apparently genuine peace will be shattered suddenly by a rapid blitzkrieg attack from the north by Syria. In league with Syria will be Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan. I feel very confident of all but the last two named, and it could well be two other countries in the Middle East. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran will move rapidly southward through the “glorious land” of Israel like a fast moving thunderstorm, bypassing the land where the people of Moab, Ammon, and Edom were settled when Daniel wrote his prophecies in about 600 B.C. The descendants of Edom (Jacob’s brother), and Ammon and Moab (the sons of Lot), as found on every published map for this time period, were settled immediately to the southeast, east, and northeast of the Dead Sea, precisely in the country we know as Jordan today. Hence, we can know that the antichrist will bypass Jordan as he moves south through Israel.

Why would he bypass Jordan? She has no strategic, political, or economic advantage to offer him, but the Suez Canal and Egypt do, so he will head southwest toward that area after having driven the woman Israel into the Negev Wilderness south of Beersheva.

Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

END PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 46

Please consider the following DEBKAfile Exclusive after having read the Previous Update 46, issued five years ago.

I have never known the exact time of the attack, only that it was drawing closer with each passing year. The following DEBKAfile article lets me know it is finally drawing so close one can almost taste it. My guesstimate of the attack occurring at some point in time between 2008 and 2012 seems more and more to be a reasonable approximation.

DEBKAfile Exclusive: New Syria-Iranian defense treaty opens way for Iran`s Revolutionary Guards to deploy on Israel’s Golan border by summer’s end

June 19, 2006, 11:57 AM (GMT+02:00)

Iranian defense minister Gen. Mustafa Najjar said: “Syria’s security is part of Iran’s security,” when he signed a new military treaty with his visiting Syrian counterpart, Gen.

Hassan Turkmani (picture) in Tehran last Thursday June 15. Sunday, June 18, Israel’s parliamentary foreign affairs and defense committee inspected its northern border, along with the deputy chief of staff Moshe Kaplinsky and OC Northern command Udi Adam. Both Tehran and Damascus referred to the tour as Israel’s response to their new treaty.

DEBKAfile’s military sources add: At the signing ceremony, the Syrian official waved away reporters’ questions on whether Iran would be establishing a military base in Syria – “The language of a (foreign) military base in our country is alien to us. I want to say that it is not on the agenda.” Nonetheless, military sources note that he rejected the term “bases” – but did not rule out “foreign forces” in which Persian Gulf and Pakistani military sources are certain was agreed secretly between the two countries.

They have learned that Iran has offered to deploy Revolutionary Guards on the Golan border with Israel by the end of summer, because as Najjar said at the signing: “We have a common front against Israel’s threats.”

DEBKAfile’s Tehran sources disclose the Iranians seek to attain three objectives by deploying RG units to the Golan Heights:

1. Another direct front line against Israel.

2. A forward position for an Iranian electronic warning station to sound a timely alarm of the takeoff of American warplanes or missiles from the eastern Mediterranean basin on their way to attack.

3. The station can also keep electronic track of movements on Israeli air and missile bases, covering also Arrow anti-missile missile systems.

The Syrian military delegation, which spent five days in Tehran, brought a year of secret negotiations to their conclusion. The breadth of Syrian-Iranian military relations can be measured by the military treaty’s financial scope of $800 million and the size of the delegation Damascus sent to Tehran – 60 officers representing every branch of the Syrian armed forces, including intelligence and munitions industries. For years, both countries have supported the Lebanese Hezbollah militia and anti-Israeli Palestinian factions including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which maintain headquarters in Damascus.

The Eternal Optimist – Vice Premier Shimon Peres

June 19, 2006

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I am a died-in-the-wool conservative pessimist, which is the reason my carnal flesh cannot understand how there can ever be even a false peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. Quite frankly, the only reason I believe it will occur is because the Scripture, which I

believe to be the inspired, infallible Word of God, indicates it will.

T here was a time I had little use for t

he ultra-liberal former head of the Labor Party, but I have grown to love him because

of his sincerity in what he believes, even though we are at opposite ends of political poles.

Oddly enough, I do believe he is right when he says the Palestinians and Israelis are closer than ever to a peace deal, but I know it will be a false one, and of temporary duration.

Peres: Israel and Palestinians Closer than ever to Peace Deal

Ha’aretz News Service

By The Associated Press

June 17, 2006

Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Saturday that Israel and the Palestinians were closer to peace than they’ve been in the past 50 years.

“The distance between us is the shortest it’s been for the last 50 years,” Peres said at one-day security summit in the Central Asian n

ation of Kazakhstan. “The distance is very short, but the speed is very slow.”

Peres said rather than focusing on political stumbling blocks to peace, they should turn their attention to economic issues, which might be easier to solve and could lead to political solutions.

“Perhaps instead of solving the political border issue, why not try to construct the relationship on the basis of economic relations,” he said. “Maybe we can come to an economic peace before we come to a political

peace. Then maybe political peace will come later.”

On Friday, Peres said that Israel will soon hold talks with Palestinians.

An Umbrella of Deceit – Bottom line: We Need International Money!

June 18, 2006

http://www.tribjulationperiod.com/

The following Article from the Jerusalem Post summarizes the points I have been attempting to make in my blogs for a long time.

Hamas does not intend to ever change its plan to destroy Israel in the Middle East, nor will it ever be anything other that a terrorist organization.

Hamas is only willing to accept what will eventually lead to Islamic destruction of Israel.

To do this they must have international monies to prop them up while

they train a terror army to assist Iran and Syria in reaching the same goal they are seeking to accomplish.

I am hoping the efforts coming out from under the umbrella of deceit, now being opened by Fatah and Hamas to get the flow of international monies flowing again into the Palestinians, will not succeed.

But, quite frankly, the international community is very gullible, and it probably will lead to a partial restoration of the flow of funds for the destruction of Israel.

Dweik: Hamas, Fatah to Sign Agreement within 2 Days

JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST

June 17, 2006

Fatah and Hamas will sign an agreement on the “Prisoner’s document” within two days, according to PLC Speaker Abdel Aziz Dweik. Sources close to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called the differences between the two groups were technical and not fundamental.

The two organizations were said to be close to reaching an agreement Saturday on the “Prisoner’s document,” according a report by the Arab weekly published in London Al Hiat.

According to the report, Hamas was willing to accept

the document barring a few minor changes.

Sources within the Hamas government said that it would be willing to change make changes within its leadership if it would cause the easing of economic restrictions on the Palestinian Authority.

A senior Hamas official within the PA said that if the economic restrictions were not lifted within two months, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh would resign and a technocratic government would be formed.

Meanwhile, Abbas was meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the two were discussing, among other things, Olmert’s “realignment” plan.

Both Sides Offer Terms they Know the other Side will not accept!

June 18, 2006

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The Palestinian and Israeli occupants are very careful to offer terms of peace that always contain conditions they know their counterparts will never accept. It is, to a large extent, a game they both play to show the international community it is the other side’s fault they do not have peace in the Middle East.

The bald face truth is that a lasting peace cannot come to the Middle East until the Messiah returns to enforce it. Scriptur ally, the only kind of pe

ace that can occur before that will be false and only last for a short period of time. Once the Israelis have completed their long security barrier/wall/fence around the West Bank and Gaza Strip, they will believe they have finally achieved a period of what they call “peace and safety” for their civilian population, but my guesstimate is that it will be shattered by a vicious Jihad attack at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.

I Thessalonians 5:3 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Micah 5:3,4 – Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. [4] And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of

the earth.

Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Adviser: Hamas prepared to offer long truce.

Hamas might offer a 50- to 60-year truce if Israel withdraws to its pre-1967 borders, a top Palestinian adviser said.

But Hamas still would not recognize Israel, Ahmed Yusef, a political adviser to Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, told Ha’aretz.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has made clear that Israel has no intentions to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders, which he says are indefensible. Yusef also said suicide bombings do not serve the Hamas government’s interests, despite a call by the terrorist group’ s military wing to end a cea

se-fire because of increasing violence in Gaza.
