Gaza Conflict WILL Bring A ‘Relative’ Hudna,

After screams of victory from defeated Hamas,

Syria, Iran, Hizbullah, and Hamas WILL LAY Back,

A time of well disguised ‘peace and safety’ Detracts,

But on a day between 2010 & 2015 a final war Begins,

Were It Not For God Israel’s Existence Would Surely End,

But For 1260 Days in The Negev God Will Be Israel’s Friend,

And to the bitter end the God of Israel his people will Defend,

So at Armageddon the God of Israel as King of Kings Descends,

His Second Advent will for 1000 years be a joy to those He’s Akin,

Cause A New Birth From Above In Him Made Them His Family Again!

Don’t expect the Hudna overnight! It will only come after wild shouting and long debate, but it will come because Hamas got their tail kicked and they need time to recover. Syria, Iran, and Hizbullah are certainly aware of this, even though they will never admit it. This blistering crushing of the Hamas power base, and loss of many of its leaders will cause the terrorists to regroup and plan for a major Middle East war, which I think is likely to begin at some point in time between 2010 & 2015.

Barak: Israel very close to achieving Gaza op’s objectives

Ceasefire closer than ever

? Defense minister says Israel close to securing Gaza op’s goals

Hanan Greenberg

January 17, 2009

Hours before the cabinet was scheduled to discuss a possible ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel is close to achieving its goals in the military campaign.

“After three weeks, we are very close to securing the objectives and complementing them with diplomatic agreements,” Barak said while visiting IDF paratroopers. He added, however, that troops must “continue their operational activity and be ready for any possible development.”

The defense minister was briefed on the activity of forces in the Strip and said that security forces are “carrying out the missions in an impressive manner in order to bring about a different reality here in the south

Earlier Saturdays, four IDF paratroopers sustained serous wounds during exchanges of fire with Palestinian gunmen.

The IDF is looking into the possibility that the troops were hurt by friendly fire, but no firm conclusions have been established yet.

The paratroopers have been operating on the outskirts of Gaza City for several days now, and in fact went deeper into the Strip than any other IDF unit. Meanwhile, the Air Force attacked more than 50 targets overnight, including 15 tunnels on the Philadelphi Route and eight rocket launching sites.

Israel withdraws from Gaza City, debate truce details

(DPA)

16 January 2009

GAZA CITY /TEL AVIV – Israeli ground troops pulled back to the outskirts of Gaza City Friday, as Israeli officials were in Washington and once again Cairo Friday to work out the details of an agreement to end nearly three weeks of deadly fighting.

As the talks went on, the troops pushed toward al-Zahara, a town in the centre of the strip, sparking heavy gunbattles with local militants in the late afternoon.

At least 23 bodies were found amid widespread destruction in Tel el-Hawa in the morning, a day after the southern Gaza City neighbourhood witnessed the worst fighting in the city of 400,000 since Israel launched its ground invasion on January 3.

Focussing on relentless air attacks in the first week, Israel launched its Gaza offensive on December 27 in a bid to curb near-daily rocket and mortar from the strip at its south.

At least 14 Palestinians, including five militants and three children were killed Friday in airstrikes and tank shelling, Gaza emergency services chief Mo’aweya Hassanein said.

They raised the total Palestinian toll in the Gaza offensive to at least 1,141 killed and more than 5,130 injured. Thirteen Israelis have also been killed, including three civilians.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in the West Bank city of Ramallah Friday for talks with Palestinian officials, reiterated that the situation in Gaza had become ‘unbearable’ and urged Israel to declare an urgent unilateral humanitarian truce, before finalizing a long-term ceasefire in talks with Egypt and Washington.

Those talks, he nevertheless said, were ‘close’ to reaching a truce and could come to fruition in ‘a couple of days.’

‘There is no time to lose. If we wait one more day, there will be more killings and destruction. The situation is just unbearable,’ he told a news conference with Palestinian caretaker Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. He also met with President Mahmoud Abbas.

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni left Thursday night for the United States to sign an agreement on joint intelligence cooperation against weapons smuggling to Gaza, while Israeli negotiator, Amos Gilad, returned to Egypt Friday with instructions from caretaker Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Livni.

He was to return from Cairo later in the day, but the security cabinet would likely only hold a vote after the Jewish Sabbath and was then expected to give Israel’s final position on the Egyptian initiative.

Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian movement that controls the Gaza Strip, announced earlier this week that it had accepted the initiative in principal with certain reservations.

The Egyptian initiative calls for an immediate short-term ‘humanitarian’ truce during which Egypt will lead indirect negotiations on a longer-term ceasefire, that should include guarantees against border security – an Israeli demand – and an end to the economic blockade of Gaza – a Hamas demand.

That short-term truce could last anything between five days to two weeks – during which the Israeli military would gradually withdraw from Gaza – while Hamas could accept a long-term truce of up to one year, though Israel would want a more permanent agreement.

The initiative also calls on Hamas and its bitter rival, the Fatah party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, to resume reconciliation talks.

Unconfirmed reports late Thursday suggested the short-term halt to hostilities in Gaza could start within 72 hours. However, some significant differences remain.

Khaled Meshaal, Hamas’ Damascus-based political leader, said in Doha, at a summit of Arab leaders, that his organization would not accept Israeli dictates on the ceasefire, and that the militant group ‘had not suffered a defeat,’ in the Gaza fighting.

The stepped-up diplomacy came amid the worst day of fighting in Gaza Thursday in Israel’s now 21-day offensive, in which Israel shelled a UN compound and damaged three hospitals, one extensively.

It also killed one of Hamas’ top three leaders in Gaza and made the deepest advance into Gaza City yet, sparking intense battles with local militants little more than a kilometre from the heart of the city.

Hamas vowed to avenge the death of its de-facto Interior Minister Said Siam, who also headed its security forces, and declared Friday another ‘day of rage’ calling for protests in the West Bank.

Some 3,000 Palestinians marched in Ramallah to protest Israel’s offensive and called for West Bank-Gaza unity. Women also held up copies of the Koran, chanting slogans in support of Hamas, though for the first time in these weekly protests Abbas’ security forces did not arrest the Islamists’ supporters.

Protests also took place in Jerusalem and other West Bank cities, including Hebron were clashes between demonstrators throwing stones and Israeli forces resulted in the death of a 15-year-old, apparently from a rubber bullet.

As ground troops withdrew from Gaza City, the Israel Air Force kept up its attacks, striking 40 targets overnight and another 25 during the day.

Israeli conducted airstrikes against more than 2,000 targets in the past three weeks, while Palestinian militants fired over 700 rockets and mortar shells into Israel.

At least 16 rockets were fired Friday at southern Israel.

If you must Fear Something fear Him Who can Destroy Body and Soul in Hell!

January 17, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Matthew 10:28 – And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Jesus knew he would be rejected at his First Advent such that peace would not come to the earth until his Second Advent.

Matthew 10:32-34 – Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. [33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

If you have not confessed him as the Savior of your soul, then you have every reason to fear in these last days of the end of the Gentiles, much more so than fearing the coming of a depression. I have no fear of him destroying both my soul and body in Hell, for I have publicly professed

him as the savior of my soul, and am in great joy waiting for the day when my body and soul stand united on this earth en

joying his full REDEMPTION, and knowing complete peace eternally in him.

Ephesians 1:6,7,14 – To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. [7] In whom we HAVE REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 4:30 – And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the DAY OF REDEMPTION .

Luke 21:27,28 – And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.

II Thessalonians 1:7-10 – And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (BECAUSE OUR TESTIMONY among you WAS BELIEVED) in that day.

I Corinthians 2:1-5 – And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY OF GOD. [2] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [3] And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD.

I Corinthians 1:18 –For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.

Acts 20:20,21 – And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, [21] TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

II Peter 3:9 – The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come TO REPENTANCE..

AN ETERNITY IN HELL IS A LOT WORSE THAN A GREAT DEPRESSION!

I strongly suspect that the greatest agony suffered in hell will not be the pa

in of the immediate moment. The greatest agony will be the acute awareness the horror will go on forever, plus your understanding the only reason you are there is simply that you would not repent (turn to God confessing your sinful condition) and put your faith in Jesus Christ, his Son, to save you from what you are by birth and nature.

It will be the knowledge you are there eternally by your own choosing.

Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post

Refusing to win

January 14, 2009

Daniel Doron , THE JERUSALEM POST

Imagine that at the outbreak of World War II RAF bombers had managed to bomb Berlin by surprise and inflict enormous material damage, but had deliberately refused to hit sites that housed top Nazi brass.

Imagine that only after several days of bombing, the British finally attacked the German headquarters, after warning of the impending attack.

How would the British public have reacted?

How would it have reacted if its government willfully missed the chance to kill many Nazi leaders? Would it have accepted the explanation that every leader can be replaced, that one must warn enemy leaders of a planned attack to prevent hitting innocent neighbors

? Wouldn’t the killing of many Nazi leaders shorten the war, it would probably ask. Is it not moral to save hundreds of thousands of lives and prevent the terrible suffering of a prolonged war even if this requires hurting some innocent civilians?

Such questions were not raised in Israel. Only after three days of bombing did the IAF finally bomb Hamas headquarters, and it took 16 days before it bombed the residence of Hamas’s top commander. This country did not exploit the surprise it achieved to kill as many top Hamas commanders as possible (just as in the past it has neglected to do so) – even though this would have most likely led to the collapse of its war machine and shortened the war.

Exploiting the surprise of the attack to the fullest would have also made unnecessary the land incursion and the many casualties it involves. Hamas could be destroyed as an effective war machine by simply killing or chasing away, in short order, many of those who operate its war machine. When we forgo such effective action, we are forced to take other, less effective actions, such as massive closures and bombardments and prolonged land incursions.

These cause much greater humanitarian damage without securing victory.

SO WHY is our government so reluctant to win? Some claim that politicians become more risk averse on the eve of elections. Others blame sharp internal divisions, confusion and lack of determination that inflict the unholy trinity governing the country. Still others claim that leaders who believe that “peace must be made with enemies” make sure they survive so as to have “partners” for a deal after “teaching them a lesson.” Finally there are those who claim that a crushing victory will be a great embarrassment to our leaders.

“If victory was possible,” the public will say, “why did you wait almost eight years before liberating us from Hamas’s terror?”

There is a kernel of truth in these explanations. But every terrible mess in Israel originates in “a conception.” Against all historical evidence, and against common sense, most leaders, egged on by the media, have sold themselves on the conception that “there are no wars in existence anymore that can be won like the wars of yore” (as stated by a headline to a special Ma’ariv supplement “Not By Force” preaching against seeking victory); in other words that “terror cannot be vanquished by force.”

This is nonsense, of course. Almost every terrorist movement was vanquished by force, from the 11th century Assassins to the 1936 Arab Revolt, from the post World War II communist insurrections in Greece or Malaya to terrors groups in Italy, Germany, Japan, etc.

It is also absurd to claim that the IDF, which is supposed to fight several Arab armies simultaneously, cannot vanquish a ragtag guerrilla force of 20,000 fighters lacking armor or airpower. The IDF cannot win only if – like in Lebanon – it fights without a clear plan for victory and under a leadership that does not enable it to win.

The goal of the “plan” annunciated by the Olmert-Barak-Livni government is “to stop the firing of Kassams from Gaza and to stop the smuggling of war materiel into it” (not, God forbid, to win a decisive victory over Hamas). It is based on relying on the Egyptians to stop the huge volume of arms smuggled from the Sinai into Gaza.

IT SEEMS likely that Egypt does not want an Iranian- controlled Hamas, and that it therefore welcomed Israel’s beating Hamas enough to make it seek Egyptian protection again. But Egypt will do all it can to prevent us from finally vanquishing Hamas. Since Egypt has realized that its chances of beating us by direct military confrontation are not great, it has used Hamas for a proxy war of attrition, as the Syrians do with Hizbullah. Egypt hopes to gradually bleed us to death and then get rid of us when an opportunity arises.

This is why Egypt resisted all efforts to make it stop the massive arming of Hamas (does anyone still believe that moving thousands of tons of war material and digging hundreds of smuggling tunnels could take place without Egyptian cooperation?) and this is why it will rehabilitate Hamas once Israel accepts a truce, so that Hamas will be able to resume bleeding us, albeit more cautiously.

Since our war against Hamas – an Iranian proxy – is part of the worldwide war against terror, our failure to vanquish Hamas will also have grave repercussions for the stability of Egypt and Jordan, besides negatively affecting our deterrent capacity and international standing.

The upshot is that if you do not seek victory in war you become the loser, even if the spin doctors convince you, like they did during the Lebanon war, that defeat is actually victory.

The Middle East is finally beginning to move into a brief period of relative “peace and safety, which I believe will satisfy the prophetic fulfillment of I Thessalonians 5:3,4. It will abruptly end at some point in time between 2010 and 2015 when Islam viciously attacks Israel from the north. The ten Islamic horns of Daniel 7 shall be successful in driving Israel into the Negev Wilderness, where she will remain for 3 and ½ prophetic years, each one 360 days in length for a total of 1260 days. At the end of that time Christ will return to destroy the Islamic Antichrist and the nations of the world he has called to come and help him destroy Israel at Armageddon.

Israel says Gaza offensive may be ‘in the final act’

January 16, 2009

Reuters

Israel said its Gaza offensive could be “in the final act” today and sent envoys to discuss truce terms after Hamas made a ceasefire offer to end three weeks of fighting that has killed more than 1,100 Palestinians.

However, Israel rebuffed at least two major elements of the ceasefire terms outlined by the Islamist movement, and fighting continued, albeit with less intensity than yesterday.

And in Doha, Hamas’s exiled leader Khaled Meshaal told Arab leaders his group would not accept Israeli conditions for the ceasefire and would fight on until Israel ended hostilities.

He urged participants at an emergency Arab meeting on Gaza to cut all ties with the Jewish state.

The inauguration of new US president Barack Obama on Tuesday is seen by some as the time by which Israel will bow to mounting international pressure and call off its attacks.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, touring the region, again said he expected a ceasefire deal within days but urged Israel to stop firing immediately. “It is time now to even think about a unilateral ceasefire,” he said in Ramallah.

At least 13 rockets landed in Israel from Gaza, the army said, slightly wounding one person.

Hamas rocket fire has dwindled during the war — which Israel launched on December 27th with the declared aim of crippling Hamas’s rocket-firing capacity.

Israeli air strikes killed 10 Palestinians.

Among them were guerrillas and civilians, including two children.

“Hopefully we’re in the final act,” prime minister Ehud Olmert’s spokesman Mark Regev said, adding that briefings by the envoys working in Washington and Cairo today could be followed by swift decisions by the security cabinet.

Gazans savoured a relative lull a day after intense combat that some saw as a final Israeli push before a ceasefire.

“The conditions have not come to fruition yet,” security cabinet member Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said.

“But this could well happen late on Saturday and we can put this story behind us.”

Israeli planes struck 40 targets in Gaza overnight, but then fighting eased, to the relief of Palestinians stunned by seeing Israeli tanks advancing deep inside Gaza city yesterday.

Medics taking advantage of a four-hour “humanitarian pause” said they had recovered 23 bodies today from the previous day’s fighting in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood in the city’s southwest, scene of some of the most intense clashes.

Israeli forces have killed some 1,138 people and wounded 5,100 during the Gaza assault.

Everyone and his brother in the international community is now trying to have a part in ending the Gaza Strip conflict, and most of them are anxious to do it to the disadvantage of Israel. I would like to see the conflict continue for another couple of weeks to allow Israel to find the vast bulk of the Hamas hidden weaponry across the entire Strip, but it is unlikely for the conflict to continue that long. I am hoping we will have a time of relative “peace and safety” following the conflict for at least a year after Israel pulls out of the Strip.

Hamas Offers Ceasefire, Threatens Revenge

Tevet 19, 5769, 15 January 09 09:50

by Maayana Miskin

(IsraelNN.com) Hamas has offered to stop attacking Israel for one year if Israel will open its western Negev crossings to Gaza, Egyptian officials announced Thursday night. The group demands that Israel withdraw its troops from Gaza within one week and refrain from any and all operations in the area while the ceasefire lasts.

Also on Thursday night, Hamas’s Az a-Din el-Kuds Brigades, a branch of the Hamas armed forces, said they would take revenge for the death of Hamas minister Said Siyam. Siyam was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday evening along with his brother, another senior Hamas leader.

“His blood was not shed in vain.

The response will be expressed in deeds, not words,” Hamas terrorists threatened.

Egyptian media sources reported earlier in the evening that Israel had in principle accepted an Egyptian ceasefire proposal.

Israeli officials demanded certain changes to the plan, Egyptian diplomats said. Those demands will be presented to Hamas leaders in upcoming meetings.

Senior Defense Ministry official Major-General Amos Gilad returned from Cairo on Thursday after meeting with Egyptian diplomats to discuss progress in ceasefire talks with Hamas. Gilad met with Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to discuss the issue.

The ministers are reportedly split on whether to seek a ceasefire at the current time.

Crossings Opened in exchange for Shalit?

According to Channel 10 news, Israel is willing to open Gaza crossings as part of the ceasefire deal. In exchange, Hamas would be required to reduce its demands regarding the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.

The group is currently demanding the release of over 1,000 terrorists, including senior terrorists who bear direct responsibility for multiple murders.

If Hamas scales back its demands, a deal could be reached that would lead to Shalit’s release, political analysts say. Barak met with Noam Shalit, Gilad’s father, on Thursday, apparently to discuss developments in Gaza and the negotiations with Hamas.

Livni sets out to US to sign deal on preventing arms smuggling

January 15, 2009

Herb Keinon , THE JERUSALEM POST

Foreign Miniser Tzipi

Livni embarked late Thursday night for the United States to sign an agreement with Washington which aims to put an end to arms smuggling from Egypt into the Gaza Strip.

Foreign Ministry Director-General Aaron Abramovich had been in Washington for talks on the agreement, which would intensify intelligence cooperation in efforts to block smuggling routes before the weapons make it to tunnels linking the Sinai Peninsula to the Strip.

After US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice phoned Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and said the US would sign the agreement, the premier gave Livni approval to fly to the US. Coupled with Egyptian commitments to step up their own efforts along the border together with international assistance, the agreement would be part of a mechanism Israel has demanded as

part of a cease-fire.

Earlier Thursday evening, Olmert met his two top ministers and a senior Defense Ministry official to discuss Hamas’s response to the Egyptian cease-fire proposal and whether it met Israel’s requirements for halting Operation Cast Lead.

Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Livni were briefed by Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry’s Diplomatic-Security Bureau, who traveled to Cairo earlier in the day for a meeting with Egyptian Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman.

The three decided that Gilad should once again travel to Cairo on Friday to discuss Israeli requirements for a truce, and only after he returned would a decision be made on whe ther to bring

the proposal to a vote in the security cabinet.

Unconfirmed reports late Thursday night suggested a “time out” could start within 72 hours, leading to a two-week truce in which a more lasting arrangement could be finalized.

The meeting took place as both diplomatic activity and the military operation in the Gaza Strip intensified, with IDF forces moving into Gaza City.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon held high level talks in Israel on Thursday, calling for a cease-fire, as did German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Since the beginning of the military operation in Gaza, Olmert has said its goals were to end the rocket fire on the South and stop the smuggling of arms.

Although details of the potential cease-fire agreement are still fluid, the basic parameters are an immediate end to the fighting followed by an IDF withdrawal after it becomes clear Hamas has stopped firing rockets on Israel.

Once Israel pulls out, Egypt – together with technical and logistical assistance from the international community – will establish a mechanism to stop arms smuggling. This will be augmented by the agreement between Israel and the US.

The next step will be indirect talks through the Egyptians regarding the opening of the Gaza crossings and the release of kidnapped soldier St.-Sgt. Gilad Schalit. According to Israeli officials, what still needed to be worked out was a timetable for the IDF withdrawal, as well as the duration of the cease-fire.

In addition, according to various reports, certain disagreements have emerged regarding some arrangements. For instance, on the question of the Rafah crossing, both Israel and Egypt want to see it opened under EU monitors, with a Palestinian Authority presence, and not Hamas. Hamas, however, is demanding a presence as well.

As to the Philadelphi Corridor, Israel was interested in a significant international presence, while both Egypt and Hamas were opposed.

Hamas officials told Egypt they were prepared to accept a one-year truce, with the possibility of subsequent renewals, provided that Israel withdrew all troops from Gaza within five to seven days and all border crossings were immediately opened, diplomatic sources said. They also sought international guarantees that the crossings would stay open, the sources added.

These positions did not differ markedly from earlier Hamas stances, and underline that there are still striking differences between the two parties in their indirect, Egypt-mediated talks on a cease-fire.

Other Hamas officials were quoted Thursday night rejecting the Egyptian proposal and demanding unspecified changes.

Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal claimed on Thursday that Israel “has not broken Hamas” and “has not broken the resistance.” He asserted that not a single Hamas rocket launcher had been hit and said more Israelis had been killed than Hamas operatives in the three weeks of fighting.

While the focus of Thursday’s efforts was in Cairo, the UN’s Ban was pressing for a cease-fire during talks in Israel.

Ban, who was informed soon after he arrived that the IDF had shelled the UNRWA compound in Gaza City, said that the death toll in the Gaza operation had reached an “unbearable point.”

At a press conference with Livni after their meeting, he said he believed that “certain elements were in place that would enable a cease-fire, but it all hinges on the political will of both sides.”

“Clearly a return to the status quo ante can be no option,” Ban said. “If a cease-fire is to be sustainable, we need arrangements to ensure a halt to the re-supply of weapons to Gaza militants, a reopening of the crossings, a release of Cpl. Schalit, and that Gaza is reunited with the West Bank under one legitimate Palestinian authority.”

Ban expressed “strong protest and outrage” at the shelling of the UNRWA compound and said he phoned Barak after hearing about it.

Barak “said to me it was a grave mistake and took it very seriously.”

The two met later in the day, and Barak issued a statement that stopped well short of an apology. According to the statement, Barak told Ban – as well as the head of the International Red Cross, Jacob Kellenberger, with whom he met earlier in the day – that Hamas was using civilians as human shields and firing at IDF soldiers from positions near UN installations.

“The IDF soldiers are responding, and will respond, as an act of self defense against any attempts to harm them,” Barak said.

Israel air strike kills top Hamas leader, interior minister Siad Sayam

January 15, 2009, 8:29 PM (GMT+02:00)

Palestinians sources confirm that Siad Sayam died in an Israeli aerial strike over Gaza, Thursday, January 15, as the third week of Israel’s offensive ended. Killed with him were his brother, Salah Abu Sarah, head of the organization’s security service and Mahmoud Watfa, commander of Hamas military wing. In Damascus, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal declared there would be no concessions for a ceasefire.

The Shin Bet security service discovered the top Hamas leaders’ whereabouts in Gaza with exceptional speed since the hideout demolished in the Israeli air attack had been rented by Sayam’s brother only two weeks ago when the war was already being fought. The precise targeting indicates that Israeli intelligence has penetrated the top Hamas echelon.

The dead leader planned and executed the June 2007 coup plot which ousted the Palestinian Authority and its chairman Mahmoud Abbas from the Gaza Strip.

DEBKAfile’s sources report that Israel is racing against time to prevail over Hamas before an enforced ceasefire cuts the campaign short before its goals are achieved.

Begin Excerpt 4 from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

Emerging Gaza ceasefire allows Hamas to restock rockets – and fire them

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

January 15, 2009, 7:55 PM (GMT+02:00)

DEBKAfile’s military sources sum up the Egyptian-Hamas ceasefire accord presented to Israel as no better than a repeat formula of last year’s failed informal truce, which led to the outbreak of the current Gaza fighting.

One senior officer told us: For this we didn’t have to go to war.”

Now as then, Egypt is fashioning separate understandings with Hamas and Israel. While tying Israel’s military hands, these deals permit Hamas to claim it has come out of the fighting ahead, after Israel refrained from either toppling its Gaza government or extinguishing its missile capabilities.

Thursday, Jan. 15, two Israeli envoys headed out – the foreign ministry’s director general Aharon Ambramovich to Washington and the defense ministry’s political adviser Amos Gilead to Cairo – to hear about the proposed American and Egyptian ceasefire mechanisms for controlling weapons smuggling through Sinai and the Philadelphi Corridor. Hamas took this as a signal to intensify its assaults on the southern Israel population: 20 missiles and rockets were launched before 10:00 a.m.Thursday; 23 Wednesday, one of which landed more than 70 km from Gaza – the furthest distance ever reached by a Hamas rocket.

DEBKAfile’s military sources note that even if the two mechanisms are agreed between the US, Egypt and Israel, it could be a year or more before they are in place. Only then, can their efficacy begin to be tested. All that time, Hamas will be free to restock its arsenal through the Philadelphi smuggling tunnels and calibrate its missile fire – in exactly the same way as Hizballah replenishedd its armory from Syria and Iran after the 2006 war and still shoots rockets at will under the noses of UN monitors.

Therefore, although easily vanquished on the battlefield, the Hamas terrorists are winning the diplomatic war against a compliant Israel.

A Big Kamchatka Quake

Is Running just a bit Late!

Russian Kamchatka Shaking,

Maybe Tsunami will be Making!

In the Tribulation Period Quaking,

Tsunamis will world seas be Raking,

As believers their Lord Will be Taking,

Hope Your Salvation You Aren’t Faking!

January 15, 2008

Matthew 7:21-23 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name

? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

TSUNAMI – ONE OF THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Today’s earthquake off the coast of eastern Russia is unlikely to create a significant tsunami unless another should occur higher in the earth’s crust and produce a vertical rather than horizontal fault slippage. But I assure you that in the approaching Tribulation Period the Pacific will be raked for some three and one years with tsunami, many of them will individually seem to be the “mother of all tsunamis.”

The tsunami producing earthquakes of the last few years in the pacific are nothing compared to those I wrote about in the mid-seventies when I wrote my first book, “Tectonic Chaos.” The events of massive tectonic destruction, which I predicted would be occurring across the surface of the earth during the tribulation period, are poised on the immediate horizon of world events to begin in conjunction with the Islamic attack against Israel, which I believe likely to begin at some point in time twixt 2010 and 2015. I cannot predict the exact time it will suddenly begin, but I know it cannot be a distant event in the “far off sweet forever, far beyond the shinning river.”

I have contended for more than thirty four years that God will move the world’s massive tectonic plate structure approximately one to two feet during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period. It is this destroying with the earth that will create the horrifying scenes described in Isaiah 29:6 and Luke 21:25.

Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire, Isaiah 29:6.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring, Luke 21:25.

In Luke 21:25 the word translated wave is saiou, which means a particular type of wave. It means a wave that breaks on the shoreline, a wave of the surf. The nations of the world will be in great perplexity because of the roaring sound of the sea and surf. It is this phenomenon of sea and surf that will destroy one-third of the world’s shipping.

Unbelievably violent earth¬quake and volcanic activity will be occurring along thousands of miles of tectonic boundaries on the ocean and sea floors during the last half of the Tribulation Period. If I am correct about the earthquake and volcanic activity along these cracks, then I am positive that what I am about to describe will definitely occur.

There are many types of waves that exist on the ocean sur¬face. The most common being those induced by the winds and tides of the earth. But the most horrifying of all waves that pound the shorelines of the world is not produced by wind or tide; it is the unbelievable tsunami produced by earthquake and volcanic eruption on the seafloor.

The tsunami is not a “tidal wave. Tsunamis are caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanoes and have killed millions of people down through the ages. Tsunami is the Japanese word for “storm wave.” The Alaska earthquake of 1964 produced the tsunami wave pattern shown in figure 6. As you can observe from the figure, it only took the tsunami four hours to move from the epicenter to Hawaii. Tsunami travel as fast as some jet aircraft. Tsunami can now be predicted so that appalling death tolls of yesteryear can be avoided. A network of seismic warning stations now functions across the Pacific Ocean to give early

warning of an approaching tsunami.

A tsunami is generated when an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption causes a sudden downward movement of an earth block. The downward displacement of water above the block produces not a surface wave, but rather a wave which moves horizontally outward through the water from the bottom to the top. Tsunami cross the ocean as long low waves which seagoing vessels may not even notice. But as the tsunami approaches the shoreline the energy of the wave is con¬fined in shallower and shallower water. Tsunami have been known to rise to heights in excess of two hundred fifty feet. When a tsunami crashes against a coastline it destroys everything in its path, often up to half a mile inland.

Shipping on the open sea is virtually unaffected by a tsunami, but woe unto the ship that is caught in port. There is not a ship built which can withstand the force of a full blown tsunami as it roars into port. In one day the old city of Lisbon and all the ships in port were destroyed by a wall of water that washed half a mile inland. During the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period most of the coastal cities of the world and the ships in port will be completely destroyed by tsunami after tsunami. This is what will produce much of the distress and perplexity among the nations of the world. Now, how does all this fit in with Revelation 8:9 regarding John’s statement: “and the third part of the ships were destroyed?”

At any given time approximately two-thirds of the world’s shipping is “under way” on the open sea, and one-third is in port or dry dock. The two-thirds on the open sea will be spared, and the one-third in port will be destroyed by tsunami during the sounding of the second trumpet.

The following Scriptures leave little doubt that God has con¬trol of the sea and the destructive forces of its waves. Those who “do business in great waters” will lose one-third of their busi¬ness on the sounding of the second trump.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them, Psalm 89:9.

But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name, Isaiah 51:15.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof, Psalm 107:23-25.

The earth is God’s creation and all the things thereof. God does not need man’s weaponry or technology to fulfill His prophecies. God has already made all the elements necessary to destroy man, and He has molded them into forms, shapes, com¬pounds and processes capable of fulfilling His revelation of end-time events.

I know that a great war will occur. Many men will die in that war. Bullets and other weaponry will kill many of them; but that will be only a few compared to the earthquake, fire and brimstone toll exacted by the force of Almighty God upon sinful mankind. For too long biblical expositors have been concentrating on a single tree (man’s weaponry and technology) as the fulfillment of Revelation prophecies. In so doing, they have overlooked the forest of God’s creation, the earth’s natural destructive forces.

Man will not destroy himself in a nuclear holocaust of his own making.

If you desire to be frightened by such a possibili¬ty, be my guest and join the crowd.

I do not fear the armies with thermonuclear arsenals. May I remind you whom you should fear with this closing passage from Luke 12:4,5

“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

PACIFIC IS BIG TSUNAMI PRODUCER

Some earthquakes in Kamchatka zone move tsunami all the way to New Zealand. The greatest earthquake ever recorded in the Kamchatka zone was estimated to be 9.3 in 1917, and it produced monster tsunamis across both the North and South Pacific Oceans.

Strong earthquake strikes off Russia’s east coast

Last Updated: Thursday, January 15, 2009 | 1:54 PM ET

CBC News

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook the Kuril Islands

off Russia’s east coast Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey says.

The epicentre was located about 35 kilometres beneath the ocean floor, about 428 km south of the town of Severo-Kurilsk in the Kuril Islands.

There was no immediate tsunami warning from the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The chain of sparsely populated islands stretches north from Japan.

Russia and Japan are locked in a territorial dispute over the islands, which have been controlled by Russia for decades.

The dispute has kept the two countries from signing a formal treaty ending hostilities after the Second World War.

The islands are surrounded by rich fishing waters and are believed to have promising offshore oil and natural gas reserves, as well as gold and silver deposits.

Far-field tsunami

Far-field tsunami are often triggered from sites along the Pacific Ocean’s ‘Ring of Fire’ where tectonic plates slide against and under one another (subduction), often causing earthquakes.

Along this ‘Ring of Fire’ there are four main sources for large earthquakes that have affected the New Zealand coastline in the past:

Alaska – Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.

South America – the subduction zone west of South America between Ecuador and Chile.

Tonga-Kermadec – the Tonga-Kermadec Trench.

Kamchatca-Kuril – in the northwest Pacific Ocean from Japan to East Kamchatka.

Kamchatka: Edge of the Plate

Russian Academy of Sciences

New PASSCAL data have been acquired along the extent of the Kamchatka Peninsula to examine the interaction of the Pacific Plate and the mantle in the corner junction of the Aleutian and Kamchatka trenches. The project, called the Side Edge of Kamchatka Slab, is a collaborative effort between researchers at Yale University and the Russian Academy of Sciences Institutes in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski, in particular the Institute of Volcanology (Alexei Ozerov) and KOMSP (Evgenii Gordeev). In Russia, Kamchatka is known as the caboose,

the last car on the train. It is practically the farthest one can get from Moscow, the center of cultural life in Russia. Being nine time zones away from the financial centers creates a sense of isolation and liberation. For Russians, Kamchatka is a land of dreams and possibilities, much as Alaska is the last frontier for Americans. This gives one the sense that being in Kamchatka is like being on the edge of the world. But the feeling has more significance than the mere waywardness of the place. The majestic volcanoes, the continuous seismicity and the incredible geology are omnipresent reminders that this is a special place.

The relentless subduction of the Pacific plate plunges beneath Kamchatka, 70mm per year. Kamchatka is home to the most magnificent volcanoes in the Pacific Rim (28 active volcanoes) and neighbor to the Bering strike-slip fault, marking the western end of the Aleutian-Komandorsky Islands. This land mass provides an exceptional platform for investigating the interactions of volcanism, tectonics, and mantle dynamics.

2005 PREDICTION BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Begin 2005 Excerpt from Russian News and Information Agency NOVOSTI

Powerful Earthquake Could Strike Kamchatka

Augusr 17, 2005

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, August 17 (RIA Novosti, Oksana Guseva) – The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry is deploying additional units and equipment as a preventive measure against a powerful earthquake expected on Kamchatka, a peninsula in the northeast of Russia, a senior ministry official said Wednesday.

Lieutenant General Viktor Kapkanshchikov, head of the ministry’s regional center, said 30 rescue workers had been temporarily transferred here until December during the heightened earthquake alert, in the wake of seismologists’ warning that a magnitude 7.2 quake could rock the region between now and December.

According to the official, additional equipment, instruments and medical supplies will be delivered at the end of August and a mobile hospital from the Rescue Center will be airlifted in early September.

Regional ministry branches are ready to deal with a possible emergency, Kapkanshchikov said. The employees are taking preventive measures to ensure fewer losses and less damage if an earthquake is to strike the region.

Exercises to check the readiness of all Emergency Situations Ministry units are scheduled for September 7-9 on Kamchatka and will be supervised by minister Sergei Shoigu.

A report from the International Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics predicted the region, including Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, has a 70% chance of being hit by a quake until December 2005.
