A Prophetic Blessing IN Ob am

Syria Now Buttering Up Next U.S. President

Barack Abu Hussein Obama for Future Dialog

To lure and lull Americans, plus all of the World,

Into belief Syria isn’t a partaker in Islamic Terror!

November 7, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Since I believe the Bible is the inspired world of God, it has always been a certainty that

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 would be fulfilled but, as in the area of HOW it would come to be fulfilled, I have had a real wondering of the METHODS God would employ to bring it to prophetic fruition. I confess it never crossed my mind before Obama began his meteoric rise in the Iowa primary, that one day America would have a President with the full name of Barack Hussein Obama. I do not mean to insinuate or infer in any way I believe he is a Muslim, or that he is in a conspiracy with the forces of Islamic Jihad, but I do believe he may be used as one of the major elements in the fulfillment of I Thessalonians 5:3,4. I do not mean to infer it will be a willful, deliberate act on his part to cause Israel to experience “sudden destruction,” but I am now convinced his belief he can bring peace to the Middle East, is going to cause America to be just as surprised as Israel when “sudden destruction” roars south out of Syria, probably at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – 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. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

I really believe Obama is just as his supporters say, “a really nice guy,” and that is not “sour grapes” on my part because he was elected. My primary reason for voting against him had nothing to do with his ethnic background. I voted against him because of his track record on two major issues, abortion and same sex marriages, and his far left views I believe will turn this country to socialism.

During his term in office you will see the Islamic world seem to respond to his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East, and they will dialog him continuously to ‘butter him” up, while all the time they plan diligently to being “sudden destruction” upon Israel from the north. It will not only lull America into believing he has repaired the damage done by “monster” Bush, but it will lull Israel and the world into believing it is possible to have an era of “Peace and safety.”

So, for those of you down in the dumps about Obama’s election, there is a very, very, very, very, bright spot in all this – although we cannot know the precise time of the arrival of our King from heaven to catch us out of this mess on earth, Obama’s stated plans of how to deal with the Middle East problem assures me Christ’s coming is near. Messiah will deal quite differently with the Middle East Islamic Belief Problem on his Second Advent. The basic Islamic Belief Problem is that they don’t believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and they have a lot of company.

Psalm 2:1-7 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 –And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not

the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

It is, of course, possible that Obama may be assassinated, but I certainly hope not, and I will pray for him as my President. If he should be, it would shake this nation into race riots like it never dreamed possible, and, in our state of mass confusion, open the door for Islam to carry out its stated plan for the sudden destruction of Israel. So, whatever does happen, I Thessalonians 5:3,4 is going to be fulfilled whe ther

the world likes it or not.

Abu Hussein’s invitation to Damascus

By Sami Moubayed

DAMASCUS – In the Muslim world, men take pride in their first born baby boy and they are often called “the father of X” for the remainder of their lives. In turn, first born boys are named after their grandfathers, and this explains why Syrians affectionately call Barack Obama “Abu Hussein” (father of Hussein).

He does not have a baby boy – just two beautiful girls – yet that doesn’t really matter for the overwhelmed Syrians who woke up to hear the news coming in from Washington on November 5 that Barack Hussein Obama had become the 44th president of the United States.

As far as they are concerned, his father’s name is Hussein and when Obama gets a baby boy, he is going to call him Hussein.

That is the tradition in the Muslim world after all, and Obama comes from Muslim lineage in Kenya. Gamal Abdul-Nasser of Egypt was “Abu Khaled”, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is “Abu Hadi”, Palestinian Liberation Organization head Yasser Arafat was “Abu Ammar” and for masses in the Arab world, Barack Obama is “Abu Hussein”.

This terminology was coined by ordinary Syrians who watched the presidential race with enthusiasm – glad to see the end of President George W Bush.

All the same, Syrians have no illusions that the president-elect is going to be a savior for the Arabs.

They hope that he will be more fair and even-handed when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and end the tension that started between Damascus and Washington under the Bush administration.

They realize, however, that his election shows just how far America has come in terms of racial equality, and everybody in Damascus – young and old – is impressed.

In August, hosted by an American organization called Search for Common Ground, three Syrians went to Washington and met with think-tanks, newspapers and loyalists of Obama, discussing ways to move bilateral relations forward once Bush leaves the White House.

For the past 12 months, Damascus has welcomed a wide array of US officials who are either members of the Obama team or supporters of the new president. All of them came carrying a similar message: The policy of no dialogue with Damascus under Bush has been unproductive for the region and the United States. That is going to change, they said, when Obama reaches the White House.

All of them were warmly received by the Syrians, at a popular and official level, including former ambassador Daniel Kurtzer and former national security advisor under president Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The latter even spoke to students at one of the new private universities in Syria, who applauded strongly whenever he mentioned “President Obama”.

Syrian TV air militants’ confessions

7 Nov 2008, 1147 hrs IST, AP

DAMASCUS: Syrian state television has broadcast purported “confessions” of suspected Islamic militants claiming they had carried out a Damascus car bombing in September that killed 17 people.

Ten men and one woman, said to be members of the al-Qaida-inspired Fatah Islam group, were shown on TV late last night, making statements.

One of the men in the broadcast said the fugitive Fatah Islam leader Shaker al-Absi had made his way into Syria from Lebanon but hasn’t been heard of since July.

It wasn’t clear when or how the suspects were arrested.

The unusual broadcast reflected efforts by Syrian authorities to portray their country also as victim of al-Qaida-linked militants that the government is trying to crack down on.

The United States has accused Syria of not doing enough to curb the transit of militant fighters across its borders and into Iraq. A US helicopter raid late October into Syria near Iraq’s border targeted what US officials said was a militant leader there.

Damascus maintained eight civilians were killed and retaliated by ordering the US cultural centre and an American school in Damascus closed.

Syria’s secular government has already accused militants of carrying out the rare Damascus bombing, but this was the first time Fatah Islam was blamed.

The group has been active in neighbouring Lebanon, where it fought the army in 2007. During those battles, the Lebanese military crushed the al-Qaida-inspired group, killing hundreds at a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon where the militants had hunkered down.

The Woman and the Beast seek common Ground,

So the Woman can ride the Beast for more than 3 Years,

At the end the Beast will buck off the Woman to consume Her,

And will burn to the ground all her great edifices of false Worship!

Revelation 17:3-6 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads

and ten horns.

[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

[6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Revelation 17:16-18 – And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The great city that ruled over the kings of the earth when John wrote the book of Revelation was Rome, which became the abode of the Pope and the Vatican.

Pope urged to admit common ground

By Robert Pigott

Religious Affairs Correspondent

November 4, 2008

When 138 senior Muslim scholars and clergy tried to establish the common ground between Islam and Christianity last year, they said the very peace of the world hung on the outcome.

On Tuesday, a high-ranking delegation is beginning a rare visit to Rome in an effort to persuade the Pope to endorse what they say are the shared origins and values of the world’s two biggest religions.

Their letter, A Common Word, cited passages from the Koran which the scholars said showed that Christianity and Islam worship the same God, and require their respective followers to show each other particular friendship.

The document examined fundamental doctrine and stressed what it said were key similarities – such as the belief in one God and the requirement for believers to “love their neighbours as themselves”.

Significantly the letter acknowledged that the Prophet Muhammad was told only the same truths that had already been revealed to Jewish and Christian prophets, including Jesus himself.

After a year using the Islamic principle of seeking consensus, the letter has developed into a “manifesto” and is backed by almost 300 leaders from Sunni, Shi’ite, Sufi and other Muslim traditions.

‘Out of hand’

The initiative was welcomed promptly by several Christian leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

The Vatican has, however, responded more cautiously to the prospect of identifying common beliefs.

There has been renewed urgency among Muslim leaders to forge new bonds with Christians since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001.

A lecture by Pope Benedict quoting a 14th Century Byzantine emperor’s accusation that Muhammad encouraged the use of violence in spreading Islam led to a furious reaction among Muslims and contributed to the sense of a widening gap between the religions.

The high-ranking delegation going to Rome includes the Grand Mufti of Bosnia, an Iranian Ayatollah, a Jordanian prince and British converts to Islam.

They are also aiming to work out practical measures for resolving crises in Muslim-Christian relations, such as the angry controversy that followed the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in Denmark in 2006.

Dr Ibrahim Kalin, a Turkish scholar who will be among the Muslims who meet the Pope on Thursday, said the dispute about the cartoons showed how important it was to establish regular dialogue.

He said: “Things got out of hand very quickly.

A line of communication is needed where we can issue a statement and mobilise resources as a pre-emptive act.”

Some of those behind the Common Word initiative believe it has been too easy for radical or extremist Muslims to use the media to promote a distorted view of Islam. One of their principal aims is to create a body that can speak authoritatively for mainstream Islam.

‘Agree to disagree’

Although the Pope can speak for about a billion Roman Catholics (roughly half of the world’s Christian population), Islam has no central authority able to represent its 1.3 billion faithful.

Apart from practical mechanisms to cope with disagreements, the Pope’s Muslim visitors are hoping for a measure of agreement on matters of fundamental belief, and for an exchange of reading-lists – each side providing the names of the books that most accurately describe their values and traditions.

They also want to extend the Christian-Muslim conversation to include that other Abrahamic religion, Judaism.

The Pope is on record as seeking dialogue with Muslims, and is reported to favour a franker, more robust, approach. He is likely to have his own priorities, including a discussion of religious freedom.

It is a sensitive issue, not least because some Muslim-majority countries forbid conversion, and oppress their Christian minorities.

Last month a formal meeting of Catholic bishops in Rome said the conversation should stress the need for equal rights for women. Some Islamic states – such as Saudi Arabia – limit women’s rights.

Other awkward issues could include the need for democracy.

There is plenty that both sides are clear they cannot agree. Muslims regard Jesus as an important prophet, for example, but they do not believe he was crucified.

Another of the big differences between the religions centres on how God is understood.

in Jesus as part of a divine trinity with God the Father and the Holy Spirit conflicts with Muslim doctrine.

“The Trinity is currently not accepted by Muslims as explaining the infinity and oneness of God,” said Dr Kalin.

“We don’t agree on that, so we shouldn’t try to sink these differences into a warped theology, but talk to each other on the basis of agreeing to disagree.”

Come into my Parlor,

Said the Spider to the Fly,

We shall talk of many Things

While I plan how Israel will Die!

November 6, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The mold, into which Iran poured its liquid plans for the destruction of Israel, is now hardening, and dialog will only present a picture to Arabs of what they always perceive as fear, weakness, lack of resolve, or even cowardice.

The election of Obama as the leader of the world’s strongest nation has assured what I have long predicted, namely, that the likely hood of an Islamic attack again Israel, at someone point in time between 2010 and 2015, appears to be a hardening reality, rather than a guesstimate.

Beginning of dialog between Obama and Iran will fulfill the prophecy written by Paul in I Thessalonians 5:3, for the talks will eventually lead Israel and most of the world to say: finally we will have a time of “peace and safety,” but suddenly, much to the surprise of those who dwell in spiritual darkness, sudden destruction will come on Israel.

Two thirds of the Jewish population will perish, and one third will be driven into the Negev Wilderness. God’s children should not be overtaken by the deceit of believing dialog with Iran will lead to anything other than the sudden destruction of two thirds of Israel in the final holocaust of this Age of the Gentiles. A Jewish remnant of one third of the population (1.9 million) will be left “therein” (Inside Israel) in the Negev for 1260 days, where they will come to believe Jesus really was their Messiah, after which they will be delivered by Christ at his Second Advent.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – 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.

[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

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.

Jeremiah 30:7-9 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. [8] For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: [9] But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Israel cautions against Obama dialogue with Iran

Reuters

Thursday, Nov 6, 2008

Israel said Thursday U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s stated read iness to talk to Iran could be seen

in the Middle East as a sign of weakness in efforts to persuade Tehran to curb its nuclear program.

“We live in a neighborhood in which sometimes dialogue — in a situation where you have brought sanctions, and you then shift to dialogue — is liable to be interpreted as weakness,” Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said, asked on Israel Radio about policy change toward Tehran in an Obama administration.

Her remarks sounded the first note of dissonance with Obama by a senior member of the Israeli government since the Democrat’s sweeping victory over Republican candidate John McCain in the U.S. presidential election Tuesday.

Asked if she supported any U.S. dialogue with Iran, Livni replied: “The answer is no.”

Livni, leading the centrist Kadima party into Israel’s February 10 parliamentary election, also said “the bottom line” was that the United States, under Obama, “is also not willing to accept a nuclear Iran.”

Obama has said he would harden sanctions on Iran but has also held out the possibility of direct talks with U.S. adversaries to resolve problems, including the dispute over Tehran’ s nuclear ambition

s.

The West believes Iran’s nuclear enrichment program is aimed at building atomic weapons, an allegation the Islamic Republic denies.

Israel, believed to have the Middle East’s only atomic arsenal, has said Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to its existence and that it was keeping all options on the table to stop it.

America’s next president and a new approach to Iran

By Suzanne Dimaggio

Commentary

Thursday, November 06, 2008

While talking to an Iranian official in Tehran earlier this year, he reminded me of Ayatollah Khomeini’s fondness for comparing the relationship between the United States and Iran to that between a wolf and a lamb. But the official went on to add his own twist, “Nearly 30 years have passed, and we are not that lamb anymore, and maybe the US is not the same wolf it once was.” His point was that Iran no longer feels the deep inequality with the US that it did in the past, and that it may be time to try engagement.

Over the past three decades, five American presidents have struggled to figure out what to do about Iran. All five failed. As US President-elect Barack Obama and his advisers assess their foreign-policy priorities, they will encounter the immediate challenge of addressing Iran’s nuclear program and the country’s growing strategic importance in the Middle East and South Asia.

They will need quickly to face up to the reality that in order to pursue US interests in the region, including stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan, the current standoff with Iran cannot continue, and that a greater degree of cooperation is unavoidable. If they do not want to repeat the failures of past administrations, they will be well advised to do what none of Obama’s predecessors have tried.

They should make a strategic decision to engage Iran – without any pre-conditions – in discussions on a broad range of issues of significance to both sides. During his candidacy, Obama said of Iran that, “For us not to be in a conversation with them doesn’t make sense.” Now, he has the opportunity to follow through.

Such an approach does not mean having Obama sit down with Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei or President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad anytime soon. A great deal of preparatory work will be required first. This can be carried out by a small team, which would hammer out the details of a mutually acceptable framework for a wide-ranging and unconditional dialogue that enables both governments to produce some modest initial successes, and gradually build the confidence and trust required to imagine solutions to larger problems. The process could include appointing a US envoy to Iran. Ultimately, direct dialogue at the highest levels should be a key objective.

This will not be easy. At the heart of the American-Iranian conflict is a deep mistrust about each nation’s readiness to tolerate the presence of

the other on the world stage. Each nation feels that it has been humiliated and demonized by the other.

What is needed is a process that rebuilds trust and communication so that the give-and-take of negotiation is perceived as serving mutual interests rather than serving up insults to national dignity or identity.

Although it is far from an exact precedent, the historic 1972 Shanghai Communique signed by China and the US, which allowed both governments to “agree to disagree” on many issues while committing themselves to dialogue at

the highest levels, offers a promising model. This far-sighted framework’s effectiveness has been well proven over time.

Dialogue with Iran will inevitably be frustrating and difficult, but it offers the only way to lay out possible grounds for constructive engagement and to devise a strategy for heading off a potentially disastrous confrontation. Dialogue focused on Iran’s nuclear program or on Iraq alone will not work. Instead, the full range of issues that are significant to US-Iran relationship must be on the table.

Such an approach will require that each side exercise broad restraint and live with the ambiguity of working with a strong adversary to manage profound differences.

Distrust will continue, signals will be confused, setbacks will be frequent, but the results could well lead over time to greater mutual understanding and a learned capacity to work on some of the most pressing problems, just as the US learned to do with the Soviet Union and China.

Direct diplomatic and strategic engagement between the US and Iran at the highest levels is a proposition yet to be tested. By pursuing this route after he takes office, Obama will force Iran to make a choice: does it want to be a state that is fully integrated into the global economy, or does it want to be an “ideology” with rogue statu

s? It is time that the world found out.

Syria moves more tank-artillery forces south to Israel border

DEBKAfile Special Report

November 3, 2008, 12:57 PM (GMT+02:00)

Lebanese sources and eye witnesses report Syrian tanks, artillery and commando units have taken up battle positions in four villages around Hasbaya opposite Mt.

Hermon and northern Israel.

According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, Syrian tanks and artillery units continued to move into their new positions Sunday and Monday, Nov.

2-3, so completing their deployment the full length of the Syrian-Lebanese border.

Elements of the Syrian 10th, 12th and 14th Divisions and the 3rd Army – withdrawn last week from the 600-km long Syrian-Iraq border – are now poised opposite Israeli positions holding the disputed Shebaa Farms enclave on Mt.

Hermon.

Military sources say that whereas opposite the northeastern Tripoli region, Syrian forces are strung out in small clusters of 2 to 3 tanks one or more kilometers apart, their tank units are massed tightly opposite Mt. Hermon and northern Israel.

There are other differences: Heavy Syrian armor is positioned well back from the front-line infantry and commando troops in the north, whereas tanks, artillery and special forces are deployed right up to the border opposite South Lebanon and Israel.

Western and Lebanese military observers relate Syria’s military movements to Damascus’ threats, growing more strident Sunday, of “painful punishment” for the US Oct. 26 raid in northern Syria unless Washington apologizes, clarifies its action and pays compensation.

These observers stress that Damascus has no real expectation of a US apology or clarification, because Syria knows as well as the US that

the target was its own forward military base for terrorist strikes in Iraq.

While insisting that an innocent farm was attacked and the 8 people killed were all civilians, the Syrians are taking advantage of the Bush administration’s silence to argue that Damascus has the same right as Washington to carry out cross-border attacks against “terrorist targets” i.e. in Lebanon and Israel.

Damascus is winding the tensions up to a pitch where some military action against a US Middle East target or ally in Lebanon or Israel is becoming hard

to avoid.

Senior IDF officers and some Western military sources are perplexed by the Israeli government’ s failure to pur

sue deterrent action against the Syrian tanks poised in battle array on its border. Instead, the outgoing prime minister Ehud Olmert is busy trying to reviving indirect talks with Syria before he quits, while defense minister Ehud Barak and Kadima leader Tzipi Livni appear unconcerned.

The Fatah, Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades, and the multiple scattered splinter terrorist groups in Syria, Israel, and Lebanon, must be united in soul and purpose to be able to drive Israel into the Negev Wilderness in the great tribulation period. I have long guesstimated this attack will occur at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.

The actions of the Arab leaders of the major factions of the terrorist groups are now in the process of coming together themselves, and, at the same time, they

are trying to bring the disorganized splinter groups into a cohesive attack force to insure success in the coming war.

M ash

aal backs upcoming talks with Fatah

November 3, 2008

Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal voiced support Monday for upcoming national reconciliation talks with Fatah.

Mashaal spoke during a rare visit to Beirut after holding talks with top Lebanese leaders.

Mashaal’s trip is his first known visit to Lebanon since Israeli warplanes destroyed his faction’s office in the Lebanese capital during the Second Lebanon. His movements are largely kept secret because of assassination fears.

His trip came a few days before Egypt hosts reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah.

During the meetings that are to start in Cairo on Sunday, Hamas and Fatah are to talk about forming a joint government, rebuilding the security forces and setting a date for presidential and legislative elections.
