NEVER UNDERESTIMATE IRAN’S PERSIAN CUNNING

NOR ISLAMIC FAVORITISM OF MOHAMMED ELBARAEDI

IN AIDING THE LONG PERIOD OF STALLING BY IRANIANS!

October 24, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The Persians are much wiser in the deceiving ways of the world than those following the light

of truth.

Never be surprised by the number of times a Persian can stall for time by a never ending stream of ‘yes, no, and maybe!’

The Iranians have been highly successful in making the United States and the West appear to be a ship of fools in diplomacy. Their latest bit of cunning has assured the possibility of an immediate attack on their nuclear facilities by the IAF to zero. The chance of Israel launching an attack while Obama’s diplomatic dialog fantasy is in progress is nil, now that Iran has agreed to let 75 percent of its uranium to France and Russia.

The excerpt from Arutz Sheva by Gil Ronen explains the folly of such an agreement. Furthermore, do expect more diplomatic flurries of Iran saying it will no longer honor it, saying this to buy more time for more diplomatic dialog to again start the process. Persian cunning is the best example of ‘off again, on again, gone again, Mo-ham-ma-din’ I have encountered. I expect Iran to keep stalling the United States, with their usual ‘yes we will, maybe we will, yes we will, no we won’t, yes, we will, etc.’

Luke 16:8 – And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Expert: Iran Buying Time with Shoddy Deal

Cheshvan 4, 5770, 22 October 09 09:36

by Gil Ronen

(Israelnationalnews.com) Dr. Emily Landau, Head of Weapons Control Project at the Institute for National Security Studies, said in an interview with Arutz Sheva that the U.S., Russia and France’s agreement to a deal with Iran in which 75 percent of its uranium will be enriched outside the country allows Iran to buy more time.

“If you take a look at the arrangement, which has not yet been ratified, then it is true that 75 percent of the uranium will be transferred to Russia and France, but Iran on its end has not committed to stop its enrichment activity at Natanz, so even if the delivery of enriched uranium outside Iran decreases the stockpile in its possession, it could replenish it in less than a year’s time.”

Iranian success

The fact that such an “shoddy arrangement” with Iran is being set up will prevent the West from conducting effective negotiations that could halt the nuclear project, she said. “Iran has actually succeeded now in deflecting the world’s attention from the main problem for which the talks were started on October 1 2009, namely – Iran’s continued enrichment of uranium and its possible achievement of military nuclear capability in the foreseeable future.

Iran, meanwhile, continues to enrich additional uranium, and even if this is done in small quantities, in the end they will succeed in replenishing their stocks. There was no statement in this arrangement calling for them to stop the activity.”

Iran has received greater legitimacy now, Landau said.

“According to this arrangement, the Iranians are now only receiving a stamp of approval for the fact that they are enriching uranium.

Beyond that it needs to be said that all of these small steps that talk of a certain level of cooperation with Iran will only lower the West’s motivation to fight Iran. If in the past they were talking about sanctions agsint Iran, now they are not even talking

about that. This arrangement only lowers the tension.

US President Obama decided on a certain direction of diplomacy, and that is why he is now trying to show that he has accomplished something, but he is stepping into a trap because he is losing in the big picture.” %ad%

Israel has no choice now but to let the diplomatic process play itself out, Landau opined.

“We need to wait and see what the US will do now.

Israel can express its opinion in talks with the Americans, but as far as military action, I do not see a possibility for Israel to act in the middle of a diplomatic move.”

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Special Report

ElBaradei’s ruse helps Iran keep on enriching uranium for a nuke

DEBKAfile Special Report

October 21, 2009, 9:50 PM (GMT+02:00)
Mohammed ElBaradei, about to retire as director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, pulled a rabbit out of his hat Wednesday, Oct.

21 to save the Vienna talks with Iran on the future of its enriched uranium from breaking down on its third day. He put before the US, France and Russia and Iran a draft proposal and gave them until Friday to come back with their answer.

The only officials to come smiling out of the aborted meeting were the Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalilee and his aides. But strangely enough, it was greeted with happy applause in the West, from secretary of state Hillary Clinton to Israel’s deputy defense minister Matan Vilnai, who should have been wise to ElBaradei’s machinations by now. Even in Tehran, officials were puzzled by the Western reaction and stressed that the draft had not yet been approved and Iran would not succumb to “Western pressure.”

According to DEBKAfile’s sources, the ElBaradei draft allows Iran to ship 1,200 kilos of low-enriched uranium to Russia for further processing. It would then go to the IAEA center in Vienna and on to France where the uranium would be converted into fuel rods for the small medical reactor in Tehran to make isotopes.

By some magic, this proposal “forgot” three UN Security Council resolutions and six-power demands for Iran to give up uranium enrichment.

Iran is also suddenly absolved of the obligation to allow UN inspectors to monitor its facilities and not by a single word is Tehran forbidden to process masses of additional enriched uranium after it ships the 1.200 kilos to Russia, or even to make a bomb.

Tehran is therefore free to infer that all these curbs have been lifted with the concurrence of the six powers with whom it is engaged in nuclear negotiations, as well as the IAEA in the person of its director.

No wonder Jalilee smiled.

The IAEA director did not disclose who wrote the document (probably himself). The West appears to have been hoodwinked by yet another ElBaradei ruse.

For years, he has maneuvered to get Iran off the hook of international pressure and free to advance on a nuclear weapon undisturbed. This time, paradoxically, an Iranian rejection would save the day.

AN EXPOSITION OF THE TWO WITNESSES – PART 5

October 24, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

In Parts 1 through 4, I presented a case to show that: (1) The two witnesses of Revelation 11:3 are two flesh and blood men who preach in the Spirit by which Moses and Elijah proclaimed God’s word, (2) They represent the Assembly of Israel, who dispensed the Word by the Spirit in the Old Testament Law of Moses, and the local called out Assemblies of Christ known as churches, who dispense the Word by the Spirit in the New Testament Law of Liberty in Jesus, and (3) John was, and is, the spiritual Elijah for all who believe his message that Jesus

was, and is, the Messiah.

Revelation 11:3 – And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

There is no question that John the Baptist was the one sent as God’s messenger to prepare the way before the messenger of

the covenant, who was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.

Malachi 3:1 – Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

Nor is there any doubt that Malachi 4:5,6 clearly paints John the Baptist with its prediction of a coming Elijah, because Malachi is quoted as such by the Father of John in Luke 1:16,17.

Malachi 4:5,6 – Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: [6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Luke 1:16,17 – And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

[17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Please note that Luke interprets “and the heart of the children to their fathers” to mean “and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just.” Since Luke’s interpretation is inspired, I am persuaded that Malachi is referring to the need of the disobedient children to turn to the faith their ancestors exhibited in the promise of a seed, a Messiah, who would one day deliver them. John the Baptist, who came preaching in the spirit of Elijah, proclaimed the message that their forefather Abraham believed.

Genesis 22:18 – And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Galatians 3:6-9 – Even as Abraham believed God, and it w

as accounted to him for righteousness.

[7] Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children

of Abraham. [8] And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify

the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

[9] So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Matthew 3:1,2 – In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, [2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Both John, the messenger of the Lord, who was sent to prepare the way before the messenger of the covenant, and Jesus, who came to confirm the covenant, gave the same message to Israel.

It was a message that the seed of Abraham had arrived to bring in the kingdom.

Mark 1:14,15 – Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

But Israel rejected the gospel message of both John and Jesus.

They have paid a terrible price since they rejected their Messiah and His message.

But what about the “curse” of Malachi 4:6, and will the Lord send another Elijah to announce the soon coming of the Second Advent

? Lord willing, I will address these issues in Part 6.

The Pharaoh WAS USED TO Fulfill Prophecy!

THE TRIPLE LEGACY OF FAR LEFT LIBERALISM

HAS NOW ascended to the Office of President,

Teddy Kennedy is a spirit legacy empowering It,

Barrack Hussein Obama is the physical SON OF It,

Senator John Kerry is a Middle East ENFORCER of It,

Who currently is the one chosen to do the work of It!

And all the world shall eventually share the fruits of It,

Since the end of the Age of the Gentiles is a result of It!

Israel will turn to Messiah Jesus in the Negev Wilderness,

And the veil of the cross will be lifted to reveal the Messiah,

And all of true Israel will be saved to worship and serve Him!

Out of Sion its Deliverer will turn away Ungodliness from Jacob

When he comes to fulfill his covenant made to their Forefathers!

Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 11:25 – For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

II Corinthians 3:14-18 – But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto th is day, when Moses

is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. [17] Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there

is liberty. [18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Romans 2:28-29 – For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: [29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

John 3:7 – Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Jeremiah 30:7 – 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.

Kerry plays key roles for Obama on Afghanistan, Syria, invokes Kennedy’s advice, ‘Do the work’

By LAURIE KELLMAN , Associated Press

October 21, 2009

WASHINGTON – He’s not president, a Cabinet member or ambassador, but Sen. John Kerry has ascended to the unofficial role of President Barack Obama’s global adviser on key issues that could reshape the nation’s image around the world.

Mediating Afghanistan’s presidential election vaulted Kerry from the already prominent chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee into the most exclusive circle around a new president who is juggling but has not resolved a variety of domestic and foreign policy matters. Beyond policy, Kerry knows how
Washington works.

Kerry and Ob

ama also share a political pedigree.

Both were mentored by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who died in August.

“Obviously, Sen. Kerry is somebody who has a broad range of experience and an in-depth knowledge of issues, ranging form energy and climate change to health care to foreign policy,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. “I think it’s that experience and insight that (Obama) certainly greatly values.”

That cannot be overstated. Obama made his debut on the national stage at the 2004
presidential convention at which Democrats nominated Kerry to challenge George W. Bush’s bid for a second term. Obama’s speech electrified the party and the convention. It was the first time many Americans had heard of the young Illinois state senator. “I’m here because of you,” Obama wrote Kerry on the January day he was sworn in as the nation’s first black president. The note is framed and
hangs on Kerry’s Senate office wall.

And now, Obama is leaning on Kerry to help
shape his foreign policy. The two men met at the White House on Wednesday just hours after Kerry returned from Afghanistan, where he played a crucial role in persuading President Hamid Karzai to accept a runoff vote after a fraud-plagued
presidential election.

“I really tried to be the utility, you know, hitter or fielder at the time,” the 65-year-old senator, his voice hoarse and hip sore after an overnight flight home, said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in his Senate office.

The meetings with Karzai, he said, were intensely emotional and played out over “a lot of days, a lot of evenings, a lot of meals, a lot of tea.”

AN EXPOSITION OF THE TWO WITNESSES – PART 4

October 23, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

In Parts 1 through 3, I attempted to make a case that the two witnesses of Revelation and Zechariah were actually two flesh and blood men who preached in the spirit of Moses and Elijah, and also that they represented God’s Old Testament witness, the Assembly of Israel, and His New Testament witness, the local churches of Christ. I finished Part 3 by saying I would elaborate on the figures listed in

the two scriptures that follow.

Revelation 11:3,4 – And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

[4] These are the two olive trees, and

the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Zechariah 4:2,3,11-14 – And said unto me, What seest thou

? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: [3] And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. [11] Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? [12] And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves

? [13] And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. [14] Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Since the two witnesses represent the two olive trees, the church and Israel, as their representatives they appear in Revelation as two lamps on a Menorah, fed by the oil from the bowl on top of it. The candlestick is a Menorah with seven pipes that feed seven interconnected oil lamps with light producing fuel. The Menorah itself, with its seven lamps, the number meaning “completeness” or “fullness,” represents the fullness of

the Godhead. The oil that gives the light to the world represents the Holy Spirit that presents the Word to enlighten the world in truth. The two olive trees are Israel, the natural olive tree, and the Church, the engrafted wild olive tree, and the two witnesses represent them both.

The two olive branches, through which the oil of the Spirit passes from the two Menorah bulb pipes to empty out into the world, are the two witnesses, as attested by verse 14.

Zechariah 4:14 – Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

The Menorah of Zechariah 4:2 = The Lord of the whole earth = The God of the earth in Revelation 11:4 = The Fullness of the Godhead that indwells Christ

The oil represents the light of truth by the Spirit through the Word from the Godhead.

The Two Olive Trees = The Old Testament Assembly of Israel and the New Testament local called out Assemblies of Christ, called churches, which are represented by the two witnesses.

The Two witnesses = The two candlesticks or two lamps (two individual lamp bulbs) = The two anointed ones = The two olive branches out of the olive trees.

Lord willing, in Part 5, I will begin to answer a question as to whether there will be an Elijah who preaches in the same spirit of Elijah as John, that comes to prepare the way for Christ’ s Second Advent.

MAN WILL NOT DESTROY HIMSELF WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

GOD WILL DESTROY MOST OF MANKIND USING HIS OWN CREATION!

MY TWO Nuclear Umbrellas Are NOW Moving Into Place!

When Israel is attacked umbrellas PREVENT a Nuclear War,

As ISLAMIC conventional forces drive Israelis deep into Negev

By the huge NUMERIC advantage Islam has in conventional War!

I’ve taught this for some 35 years and now watch its Development!

As Russia and China provide a nuclear umbrella for 10 toes and Horns,

The United States will provide a nuclear umbrella for the nation of Israel,

While ‘knock-down-rag-out’ conventional war occurs twixt Islam and Israel,

That will end on a truce leaving Israel surrounded by Islam for 3 and ½ Years,

And Then the final Battle of Armageddon Will Culminate with the Second Advent!

Begin Two Excerpts from Jerusalem Center for Public Information/Daily Alert

October 22, 2009

Begin Excerpt 1 from AP and Washington Post

U.S. and Israel Stage Major Air Defense Exercise

Michael Barajas

The Israeli and U.S. militaries were set to begin a major joint air defense exercise Wednesday, testing technology that could be used to defend Israel against an Iranian attack.

The maneuver underlines the strong alliance between the U.S. and Israel, despite recent spats over Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.

The exercise, codenamed Juniper Cobra 10, will test the two countries’ missile defense systems and will include roughly 1,000 U.S. military personnel and a similar number of Israeli troops. The U.S. has deployed 17 warships equipped with radar systems to detect surface-to-surface missiles for the exercise.

“This sends a message to Iran, to Hizbullah and to Hamas that the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel remains solid,” said Eytan Gilboa, a political scientist at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University. (AP/Washington Post)

Begin Excerpt 2 from Henry Jackson Society

Iran Will Provide a Nuclear Umbrella for Terrorism

Dore Gold

Former Israeli Ambassador Dore Gold told a briefing at the House of Commons on Oct.

12: There are countries in the world that are happy with what they have, that aren’t interested in expansion or intruding on their neighbors and basically just want to be left on their own. Then there are states that are actively intervening in the affairs of their neighbors and have interests well beyond their own borders, and Iran is in that category. Iran is engaged in the insurgency in Afghanistan, providing the Taliban, who were their enemies 10 years ago, with weaponry and other forms of assistance to fight U.S. and UK forces in that country. Iran has been engaged in Iraq, particularly through the Shiite militias in southern Iraq. Iran has declared that Bahrain, an independent kingdom, is a province of Iran. Iran is active in Lebanon; it created and sustains Hizbullah. It’s involved in Gaza, Egypt, Sudan and Yemen.

If you take the fact that Iran is one of the largest supporters of international terrorism today, and you team that up with the nuclear capabilities that Iran has today – enough low-enriched uranium for two atomic bombs – coupled with the fact that Iran is developing a robust ballistic missile system that goes far beyond what many people believe, you have a security situation which the West has not yet seen. The world’s biggest supporter of international terrorism is about to get a nuclear umbrella, and that means that terrorist groups will have a protective umbrella over them. This nuclear umbrella of Iran will unfurl and will be able to provide protection not just to Shiite Hizbullah, but to Sunni al-Qaeda and Hamas.

Begin Excerpt from “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit”

BIRTH PANG NUMBER 1

CHAPTER 3 – BIRTH PANGS FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT

Written In the Late Seventies

Daniel 12:4 – But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge

shall be increased.

God advises us through Daniel that a particular circumstance will occur “at the time of the end,” specifically that “many shall run to and fro,” and, as a result, man’s “knowledge shall be increased.” Man, in his running to and fro, both across the earth and in space, did, in the twentieth century, accrue more knowledge about the earth than he grasped in the thousands of years from Adam’s creation until the beginning of that century. The data from hundreds of satellite eyes in space, used in spectrographic color analysis of the earth’s crust, has been allied with seismological data by a worldwide linkage of computer technology to allow man to discover an endless array of facts about the external and internal structure of the earth. Within the last thirty years man has more than doubled his factual knowledge of the exterior and interior of the earth, yet he has barely scratched the thin outer veneer of the unlimited knowledge of God, as prophesied by Daniel. This “time of the end” knowledge has begun to unseal many of the prophecies, and to open the “shut up” words of latter day events.

Today, when you look at the tectonic plate structure, found in countless numbers of books today, you see thousands of miles of l

ines between tectonic plates, which represent cracks in the earth that weave their way erratically down through the earth, eventually making contact with great underground lakes of red-hot melted rock called magma. These geological faults are not the figment of scientific imagination.

They are no longer based on theory or hypothesis. They have, within the past hundred years, advanced from hypothesis to theory to fact.

They are tremendous cracks in the crust of the earth that have the full potential to fulfill many of the terrifying events in the book of Revelation. Because these deep geological faults interconnect, they have separated the outer surface of the earth into vast chunks of crust called tectonic plates.

These plates are usually named for the geographical area that lies atop them, and they are responsible for the earthquake and volcanic activity

in these areas. Just as a ship floats on water, so do these vast pieces of the earth’s crust float on deep oceans of hot liquid rock. They float in slightly different to opposite directions at differing speeds. Movement is perhaps only a few centimeters every year in some zones, but can be several per year in some places, and, at times, can suddenly move several feet in a local area. They move to produce over ninety-five percent of the world’s earthquake activity, as well as more than ninety percent of the world’s volcanic activity. Seismic topography, along with horizontal surface and vertical satellite laser beam measurements, has now proven without question that the plates exist and move to produce most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

As the plates of the earth press against one another horizontal and vertical tectonic pressures often freeze vast zones together. As the plates strain against one another in titanic combat something finally snaps, and they break free in a local area.

This abrupt loosing produces the massive vibrations we identify as an earthquake.

The Lord indicated “and great earthquakes shall be in divers places” in the last days. Man, in his running “to and fro,” has now gained the increase in knowledge to understand how earthquakes and volcanoes are produced by God’s creation. The same Christ, who uttered “and great earthquakes shall be in divers places,” already knew what man was to discover more than 1900 years later. The prophecy, “and knowledge shall be increased,” was fulfilled in the last century. The Holy Spirit, who inspired these words of Daniel and all the other prophets, will use his prior creation, the earth, to fulfill these prophecies of earthquake, fire, and brimstone, and he will do it by

his own power. The horrifying scenes of destruction and chaos presented by John in the book of Revelation, and by the Old Testament writers are largely descriptive of a tremendous geological upheaval of the crust of the earth by the power of its Creator.
