OPPS! THERE GOES ANOTHER RUBBER TREE PLANT

November 15, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

For many years I have claimed the most likely candidates to make up the ten toes and ten horns of Daniel 2 & 7, as well as Revelation 12:13 & 17, would end up being Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, Sudan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

The Antichrist, in my op

inion, was to arise out of Syria. I did not include Egypt because of Daniel 11:43, Jordan because of Daniel 11:41, and Saudi Arabia because it does the best fence straddling in the Middle East. I still hold to that grouping of ten nations, out of which will rise the Islamic Antichrist.

The great ancient Roman Empire, at its maximum extent, extended into parts of all these countries, either by force or treaty. I have always believed the nations referred to as the ten horns or toes would indeed come out of a revived Roman Empire, but out of its southern flank, not the northern flank that stretched across Europe. The next great Empire to form across the southern flank of the old Roman Empire was the Islamic Empire started by the Prophet Muhammad, and it is now being brought back to life in the Middle East. The seventh head on John’s Beast was the Islamic Empire that died by the sword of the Mongolian Empire, but is now coming back to life as the eighth head which, like the seventh head, is the revived Islamic Empire, the Beast of the East.

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition (destruction).

Some wanted to know why I did not include Jordan as one of the Arab nations that would attack Israel, because it was not specifically mentioned as being attacked by the Antichrist, as was the case with Egypt in Daniel 11:43. Jordan did not exist by that name at the time Daniel wrote, but Egypt did and, since the Bible was written for all ages, the Lord named the ancient countries that made up what we call Jordan today. The following quote comes from Archive Prophecy Update 46, which we issued in 2001.

Begin Quote

“[Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran will move rapidly southward through the ‘glorious land’ of Israel like a fast moving thunderstorm, bypassing the land where the people of Moab, Ammon, and Edom were settled when Daniel wrote his prophecies in about 600 B.C. The descendants of Edom (Jacob’s brother), and Ammon and Moab (the sons of Lot), as found on every published map for this time period, were settled immediately to the southeast, east, and northeast of the Dead Sea, precisely in the country we know as Jordan today.

Hence, we can know that the antichrist will bypass Jordan as he moves south through Israel. Why would he bypass Jordan? She has no strategic, political, or economic advantage to offer him, but the Suez Canal and Egypt do, so he will head southwest toward that area after having driven the woman Israel into the Negev Wilderness south of Beersheba.]”

End Quote

I was challenged on Turkey when I first made the list because they were part of NATO, but I did not believe they would be accepted in the EU, and would swing back to Islam rather then secular pursuits. I was also challenged on Sudan from the beginning, but I knew the Sudan, after it became the northern part of a new nation formed out of ancient Ethiopia, would became an extremist Islamic government. And, when the U.S. and its allies took over Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I was advised Iraq would not be one of the eleven toes and 10 horns, but I knew the composition of the Iraq population, and knew that the U.S. plan to build a stable democracy in Iraq was doomed to failure. Within a short time after the pullout of the Allied Coalition from Iraq, the new Government will be almost as opposed to the U.S. as Iran and Syria.

The following article from the Jerusalem Post is just another indicator Turkey will slip away from its western ties to become one of the nations that eventually comes against Israel as a part of the Islamic coalition.

It is headed for crunch time in the Middle East and each of the nations of Islam is going to be forced to make decisions as to which side it would be more advantageous to appease, their brothers in Abraham around them or the western devils afar. I believe they will choose to appease the iron toed brothers around them and their two buddies to the north and the east, namely, Russia and China.

The hourglass has been turned, and the sands of time are running into its bottom, we are not far away from the last particles of sand to trickle from its top to end the fullness of this present Gentile age. I realize that my guesstimate of the initial attack against Israel by ten Arab nations occurring at some point in time between 2010 and 2015, which will begin the last three and one-half years of the fullness of the Gentiles, may not be correct. No man can be sure as to when the last grain of sand will drop, but I am sure it is getting close.

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.

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.

Turkey Won’t Allow US to Use its Bases

JPost Staff and AP, THE JERUSALEM POST

April 30, 2006

Turkey does not intend to allow the United States to launch an attack against Iran from the Inchirlik military base, Turkish news agencies reported Sunday.

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul told the Dubai-based al-Bayan that he doubted the US would ultimately choose to take military action, as “Iran has its own strategic advantages.”

Gul said that facilitating an attack against a neighboring country was “not an option,” despite the US offer to build Turkey a nuclear reactor as a counterbalance to Iran’ s expanding nuclear facilitie

s.

Turkey has long sought to develop nuclear power to make up for a limited supply of domestic energy and to reduce dependence on energy supplies from Iran and Russia and has chosen the coastal city of Sinop as the site of the country’s first nuclear power plant.

However, only Saturday, thousands rallied in Sinop to protest the planned nuclear facility.

Calls for Turkey to develop alternative energy sources were widespread during the past winter, when unexplained cuts in the supply of natural gas from Iran forced many companies to lower or entirely stop production.

Turkey first announced plans to build a reactor in 1996, but the project has repeatedly been put on hold due to financial problems.

Turkey’s refusal to comply with the US request was another indication of the growing tension between the two nations, which, according to Gul, have not “seen a single day of positive stability since the Islamic party was elected to power [in 2002].”

Erdogan promises Iran Turkish intelligence aid against Israel

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

November 10, 2009, 10:33 AM (GMT+02:00)

In the secret part of their talks in Tehran on Oct. 28, DEBKAfile’s military sources reveal that Turkish prime minister Tayyep Recep Erdogan and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck military cooperation deals which promised Iran Turkish military intelligence and air force assistance against a possible Israeli attack on its nuclear sites.

Their understandings have bound Turkish to pass intelligence data to Tehran on potential Israeli preparations for a strike and on US military movements in the Middle East

for providing backup. Our sources report that the details finalized in meetings between the Turkish and Iranian military specialists in Istanbul Monday, Nov. 9, were due to be sealed by presidents Abdullah Gul and Ahmadinejad Tuesday. The Iranian president is to be in Turkey as guest of the Islamic Conference.

The Turkish prime minister has not only buried his country’s longstanding military and intelligence ties with Israel but climbed aboard the adversarial axis confronting the Jewish state. Turkey has agreed to round out the forward surveillance outposts encircling Israel’s borders: Hamas from the southwest in Gaza, Syria in the east, Lebanon in the north and now Turkey from the northwest.

Tehran is banking on this encirclement for early warning of an approaching Israeli strike and any supportive American movements.

According to Western intelligence sources in Ankara, heads of the Turkish army objected to their government’s strategic turn to Iran and the cutoff of its ties with Israel. However its pro-Islamic leaders, which have gradually eased the army out of policymaking, have forced them to accept operational ties with the military of an anti-Western Middle Eastern nation as being in the nation’s best interests.

Erdogan’s most compelling argument is that President Barack Obama’s secret proposal for Iran to deposit 400 kilos of its enriched Iran in Turkey for safekeeping in charge of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, had elevated Turkey to an enhanced role as a broker between the US and Iran, sanctioned by Agency director Mohamed ElBaradei. If Turkey, a member of NATO, was able to gain the Iranian regime’s trust, the Turkish prime minister maintained, it was only thanks to the military understandings he reached in Tehran.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that word of the Turkish-Iranian military collaboration deal landed with shocking effect in Washington and Jerusalem.

They had not forewarned by their intelligence services that Erdogan was willing to go as far as this to ally Turkey with the Islamic regime.

They will still be talking of peace in the Middle East when a vicious Islamic Jihad is initially launched against Israel. It is the hope of peace and safety that represents the mindset of Israel, not three and one half years of actual peace. It was a gradual shift from the thee “He’s” in Daniel 9:27 being Christ after 1740 to being the one identified as the Antichrist, which led to the teaching of three and one half years of peace after a peace treaty was signed with the Antichrist. The teaching was created when the ‘First of the Week” position became popular after 1788. I hope you will consider the Series in our Archive Blogs, which you may read and copy from our Web Site.

Israel hints at Syria opening after Sarkozy meet

Thursday, November 12m 2009, 10:15 IST

Paris: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met French President Nicolas Sarkozy for talks on the crisis in the Middle East peace process and appeared to open the door to talks with Syria.

Neither leader spoke to reporters after their two-hour meeting in the Elysee Palace, and Netanyahu set off for the airport immediately afterwards. The pair had addressed the media after both their previous Paris meetings.

A short statement from Sarkozy’s office said that the talks had included only the leaders and one senior advisor each.

They discussed “international issues and notably ways to restart the Middle East peace process.”

But, while the mood surrounding the meeting was downbeat, afterwards an Israeli official did hold open the chance of progress in one of the overlapping negotiating tracks that make up the stalled regional peace plan.

“Mr Sarkozy raised the issue of the Syrian track,” the senior aide said.

“The Prime Minister said he is willing to meet with the Syrian President at any time and anywhere to move on the peace negotiations on the basis of no pre-conditions,” he added.

Earlier, in Damascus, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told a meeting of Arab politicians that Syria would not “put forward conditions on making peace” but warned it had “rights that we will not renounce,” according to the SANA news agency.

Assad is due in Paris on Friday for talks with Sarkozy.

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and unilaterally annexed it in 1981. Damascus has repeatedly demanded the strategic plateau’ s return a

s a non-negotiable condition for peace.

Telephone talks arranged by Turkish mediators between the arch foes were broken off last year during Israel’s offensive in Gaza, closing a promising diplomatic channel towards a broader Middle East settlement.

Last week, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in Paris that he was ready to resume his role as mediator of three-way telephone conversations between Israeli and Syrian leaders at any time.

There was no sign, however, that the Paris meeting had made much progress on the issue of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

On the eve of the visit, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said a “real political difference” separates Sarkozy and Netanyahu on the issue of Israel’s continued building of settlements on Palestinian land.

“We think that a freeze on settlements, that’s to say no more colonisation while talks are ongoing, would be absolutely indispensable,” Kouchner told France Inter radio. “We need talks and the peace process to restart.”

French fears for the peace process have been exacerbated by Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas’ threat to resign in protest at Israel’s refusal to stop building on Palestinian land in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

“The return to negotiations depends on Israel adhering to the terms of reference of peace and that means halting all settlements,” Abbas told Palestinian supporters on Wednesday in Ramallah. Abbas is seen by many as the only Palestinian leader with

the power and credibility to lead meaningful negotiations, and his departure could even trigger the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.

Sarkozy called Abbas on Tuesday to urge him to reconsider a decision not to seek re-election next year, and was expected to pressure Netanyahu during his meeting Wednesday to halt settlement building.

The Israeli leader arrived in Paris late Tuesday after flying in from Washington, where he had held similarly tense discussions with US President Barack Obama, who has also called for a construction freeze.

Netanyahu insists he has limited settlement activity and has called for immediate peace talks with the Palestinians, but his Washington trip ended without the usual friendly joint appearance with the US leader.

The lack of a press conference was widely interpreted as a snub by Obama.

peaking in Jerusalem, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday said the meeting had helped pave the way for the possible restarting of Israeli-Palestinian talks.

“This meeting was good, important and constructive. It lifted a number of obstacles and created a decisive base for the resumption of negotiations that will allow us to reach an agreement with our neighbours, the Palestinians,” he said.

France meets Syria over peace plan

November 13, 2009

Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, is holding talks with Nicolas Sarkozy, his French counterpart, that could bring about a revival in Middle East peace talks.

The meeting on Friday in Paris comes a week after Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, met the French leader.

Alan Fisher, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Paris, said Sarkozy is expected to hand al-Assad a letter from Netanyahu, in which he says the Israelis are ready to begin talks with the Syrians, with no pre-conditions.

“There appears to be the beginning of momentum in this process between Syria and Israel,” he said.

Conditions for peace

Hostility between Israel and Syria is one of the problems underlying efforts to seek a broader Middle East peace settlement.

Syria has repeatedly demanded the return of the strategic Golan Heights, which Israeli captured in the 1967 war and unilaterally annexed in 1981, as a non-negotiable condition for peace.

Meanwhile Israel accuses Syria of backing armed groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.

This week al-Assad told a meeting of Arab politicians that Syria would not “put forward conditions on making peace” but warned it had “rights that we will not renounce,” the SANA news agency reported.

Earlier on Friday, al-Assad hailed a “climate of trust” with France, welcoming a “resumption of good relations” between the two countries.

Our correspondent said it comes after Sarkozy reached out to the Syrians a year ago.

“Remember they had a dreadful relationship when Jacques Chirac was president. Sarkozy said he was going to sort that out,” Fisher reported.

EU ‘partnership’

But the Syrian leader said his country had not “yet reached a revival of trust between Syria and the United States,” and called on Barack Obama, the US president, to do more for the stalled Middle East peace process.

“What president Obama said about peace was a good thing. We agree with him on the principles, but… what is the plan of action? The [peace process] sponsor must come up with a plan of action,” al-Assad told Le Figaro.

“The weak point – it’s the American sponsor.”
The Syrian president also repeated his position that Damascus must review a partnership agreement with the European Union, which had been due to be signed in October, calling on the bloc to have “more political independence”.

“The Europeans have turned completely towards the United States, to Syria’s detriment. A partner must be a friend and we haven’t noticed that from Europe these last years,” he said.

Damascus and the EU first drew up the draft partnership pact in 2004, but it was never signed by European countries, amid concerns by some nations of human rights abuses in Syria.

Obstacles Facing Syria-Israel Talks

14 November 2009

Israel may soon resume talks with Syria, without pre-conditions. The possibility of resumption of peace talks between the two states, does not seem far fetched.

Israeli officials have confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has relayed a willingness to resume talks with Syria to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. It will presum ably be

a key topic for discussions between Sarkozy and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who is currently in Paris. Tel Aviv has, however, refuted a significant second message, relating to Israel’s willingness to withdraw from the Golan Heights, as reported by al-Arabia channel. Netanyahu’s overture to Israel is not one-sided. Assad had also expressed a desire to hold fresh talks with the Israeli government.

How Israel and Syria achieve this under the dark shadow of Golan Heights is the hard question.

Captured in 1967 and later annexed by Israel in 1981, Golan Heights remains the biggest contention between Tel Aviv and Damascus. Especially since Israel’s position on retreating its boundaries to the pre-1967 state and containment of settlements—illegal in every sense of the word and a complete violation of international law—is well known. Housing about 18,000 illegal Israeli settlers, the return of the Golan Heights to Damascus will not be easy for Israel, even if it decides to abandon its obdurate position by some miracle. Besides Golan, Israel’s other major contention with Syria is its alleged support for the anti-Israel political groups in Lebanon and Gaza—Hezbollah and Hamas. For Syria to give up the right to its territories under Israeli occupation would 
be tantamount to political suicide and a weakening of its position, not only regionally, but also internationally.

Expecting Syria to succumb to this in the larger interest of peace is inane. Even though Assad had ruled out any pre-conditions, he maintained that Syrian rights need to be restored. According to him, one way to achieve these was through dialogue. Turkish sponsored indirect talks between the two states last year broke down with Israel launching the 22-day Gaza offensive, a war 
internationally condemned. Previously held talks in 2000 had also failed on the issue of the Golan Heights.

If talks are to resume, it may well be done under the auspices of France and not Turkey this time. Israel is apparently displeased with Turkey for daring to raise a voice against Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

While dialogue is always welcome, it needs sincerity and commitment from both sides. Is Israel willing to extend an open hand with a clean heart? If so, then it should review its position first on the settlements issue and commit towards a peaceful solution with the Palestinians. The barometer for Israel’s sincerity towards achieving regional peace—especially if it seeks the coveted acceptance and normalisation of relations with its neighbouring states and the Arab world— will ultimately be how it deals with Palestinians.

EVENTS OF THE LAST 1335 DAYS OF THE GENTILE AGE – PART 3

November 14, 2009

CONSULT DIAGRAM SENT BY E-MAIL ON NOVEMBER 12, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

EVENT 3 – Seventy Five Days after the war begins Jerusalem will fall to the Islamic forces and close to two-thirds of the Jewish population will have been killed.

Zechariah 13:8 to 14:2 – 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. [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.

[1] Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Revelation 11:2 – But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

The surviving one-third will have split into two sections. One portion will be boxed in along the narrow coastal strip from Tel Aviv to Haifa,

and the other portion will have withdrawn to the Negev area from Beersheba to Eilat!

About 70 percent of the Jewish population is concentrated on Israel’s narrow coastal plain from Tel Aviv to Haifa.

The Antichrist knows he will not be able to penetrate into the Negev because it is the most heavily military fortified zone in Israel, and billions of dollars have been spent to make it perhaps the best contingency evacuation

zone of any of the world’s nations. Besides this, as he nears the northern section of the Negev to the North of Beersheba a great earthquake will occur in, and to the north of the zone, along the Jordan River,

and he will lose a fair portion of his troops in it. For this, and as a manifestation of his compassion to the huge international community of nations, he will allow aircraft of the West to evacuate Israel’s from the narrow coastal strip to

the Negev, and the remaining Jews to the east will be advancing into the Negev as IDF protects their evacuation. Another good reason for his allowing what appears to be an act of mercy is simply that he has no use for the Negev at t

his time, because he wants to conquer Egypt and start building his Islamic Caliphate from Morocco to New Guinea.

Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

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.

Revelation 12:14 – And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into

the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Israel will be surrounded in the Negev Wilderness by Islamic forces for 1260 days.

Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

The ten horns are Islamic horns existing in what was once the southern flank of the Roman Empire at its maximum extension, as well as the Ancient Islamic Caliphate at its maximum extension. It’s possible the 7th beast empire foretold in Revelation 17:11, which went into perdition

(destruction), could refer to the great Islamic Empire more than 500 years after John wrote Revelation, which went into perdition, but is currently the same beast now being resurrected as the 8th Beast directed by its Antichrist King who, like the King of the seventh beast, is also Islamic.

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Whatever the case, after Antichrist traps Israel in the Negev Wilderness, a truce is declared which has been brokered by the United Nations, such that even though Antichrist has not conquered Israel, she shall be “in his hand” while Jerusalem is being trodden under foot by the Gentiles some 42 months until

the Second Advent.

Isaiah 26:20,21 – Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

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.

Luke 21:25,26 – 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; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Diplomatic Dialog AT ITS ULTIMATE Best

Today’s act of cowardly appeasement by the Obama administration to the world’s Islamic nations and the ACLU is another example of Obama’s efforts to get Islam to respect him, and perhaps listen to his diplomatic dialog speeches

and plans. He now plans to have the Islamic terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 slaughter of innocents tried in American Civilian Courts. It is possible much of the evidence against them will be thrown out because they were not read their rights. It will complicate the prosecutor’s case and cost millions more taxpayer bucks in civilian courts. It is an act of appeasement to Islam in hopes he can gain enough respect from them to hear and respond to his diplomatic dialog. Bullies don’t respond to acts of appeasement or diplomatic dialog, they see them as the acts of a coward. I don’t doubt they will be found guilty in a civilian court, but it will be a side show of appeasement to Islam to demonstrate the great American judicial system of fairness, which will only mean to them the Obama administration is a ship of fools riding on waves of cowardice.

Until a playground bully is confronted with force greater than his, he won’t change for pleading, love, compassion, or any form of diplomatic dialog. I know this to be the b asic ch

aracter of a bully by lifetime observation of the species. I was forced to confront two in grade school and junior high. It was the only thing that made them change their attitude toward me. I tried everything under the sun to attempt to get them to stop bullying me and pushing me down and around for a long time, but they only changed when the coward in me finally got tired enough of living in fear that he was unable to do anything except fight.

After the coward in me finally did fight, the bullies avoided me rather than me having to avoid them.

Islamic Radicals and Terrorists are a million times worse than the proverbial school bully, and they don’t just push and shove, they kill, torture,

and butcher in hate all their so-called enemies. Obama’ s diplomatic dialog routine i

s something they love. A playground bully loves to hear you beg to stop his onslaughts. He loves to have a coward give him things to make him stop. He loves to have you bow down yourself before him in humility. A bully will sometimes take your appeasement gifts in order to get more if you will promise to give him more, but all the while he is deceitfully planning to deal you even greater punishment if the gifts and promises stop.

Iran, Syria, Turkey, Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are all bullies in different degrees of the bully character. Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are the worst of them. Al-Qaeda and many other terrorist groups headquartered in many Islamic countries across the Middle East are the worst of the worst.

Syria probably has more vicious terrorist groups headquartered in it than other Islamic nations.

Obama’s answer to solve all the challenges he has faced thus far has been: (1) To make another speech, (2) To delay making a decision, (3) To call for an open-house forum to discuss the problem in detail, (4) To make another overseas trip, (5) To reason with the Islamic bullies, (6) To shift media attention away from the challenge to something else, and (7) To make the challenge as transparent as seeing through a solid steel wall.

All I can say in summary is this: WORLD BULLIES LOVE LIBERAL RULERS TO BE IN POWER IN GOVERNMENTS THEY WANT TO DESTROY.

WAKE UP AMERICA, ISRAEL IS GOING TO BE FORCED TO FIGHT A VERY REAL MIDDLE EAST BEAST BULLY IN THE FINAL WAR OF THE GENTILE AGE! THE ONLY QUESTION IS “WHEN” THE WAR WILL BEGIN! I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF AMERICA THAN I AM ABOUT THE FUTURE MIDDLE EAST WAR.

Expert: Syria Wants Talks, not Peace

Cheshvan 25, 5770, 12 November 09 08:31

(Israelnationalnews.com) Middle East expert David Bukai spoke with Arutz-7 on Thursday following reports that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had told Syrian leaders that Israel would consider withdrawing from the Golan. Israel has no need to fear losing the Golan in negotiations, he said, as Syria is interested only in talking with Israel, and not with signing an actual peace deal.

Syrian President Bashar Assad would lose by signing a deal with Israel even if Israel were to offer him the entire Golan region, Dr.

Bukai said. If Assad made peace with Israel, tensions would rise between his Alawite sect and Syria’s majority Arab Muslim population, financial support from Iran would dwindle, and Assad could lose the benefits of his current military dictatorship, he explained.

Assad continues to seek negotiations with Israel in order to improve his country’s image – a policy begun by his father, Hafez Assad, Bukai said. Hafez realized that by publicly demonstrating an interest in Middle East peace he could gain an instant boost in ties with the West, and his son Bashar has followed in his footsteps, he stated.

Golan Residents: We Hope Netanyahu is Different

Residents of the Golan reacted with some nervousness to reports regarding Netanyahu’s alleged offer to Assad. A member of the Golan Heights Residents’ Council, Uri Heitner, spoke to Arutz-7 and expressed hope that Netanyahu would prove more reliable than former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert when it comes to the Golan.

Olmert expressed willingness to withdraw from the Golan in order to achieve a peace deal with Syria, Heitner explained, adding, “We hope Netanyahu isn’t headed in the same direction.” Withdrawing from the Golan would endanger the entire state of Israel, he said.

While Golan residents believe that giving the region in which they live to Syria would be a disaster, they do not fear negotiations for an Israel-Syria peace deal, Heitner stated. “All Israeli governments have been prepared to negotiate without preconditions, and nobody wants peace more than those of us who live here in the Golan,” he said. “The big question is what they plan to talk about.”

Begin Excerpt 2 from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

Obama asks Netanyahu for more time for dialogue with Iran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

November 10, 2009, 8:13 AM (GMT+02:00)

President Barack Obama and prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu talked for more than an hour and a half in the White House Tuesday, Nov. 9, all but fifteen minutes without advisers. There were no cameras and the usual post-meeting press briefings, joint communiques and interviews were cancelled.

A curt White House statement said: “The president reaffirmed our strong commitment to Israel’s security, and discussed security cooperation on a range of issues. The president and prime minister also discussed Iran and how to move forward on Middle East peace.”

Netanyahu then headed out to Paris to see President Nicolas Sarkozy later Tuesday.

DEBKAfile reported Monday: US official sources admitted Monday, Nov.

9, that Tehran had finally blocked every compromise offered by the Obama administration through backdoor channels. This and the US president Barack Obama’s Middle East peace initiative have both run into the sand. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Middle East envoy George Mitchell informed him last week after their failed bid to persuade the Palestinians to sit down and talk peace with Israel.

Clinton found Mahmoud Abbas in Abu Dhabi with one foot out of the Palestinian Authority leadership and exploiting Obama’s misplaced reliance on a total Israeli settlement construction freeze on the West Bank and in Jerusalem to strike a rejectionist position for the sake of restoring his tattered credibility on the Palestinian street. On that score, there is nothing much for Obama to discuss with visiting Binyamin Netanyahu Tuesday, Nov. 10, although both found themselves under pressure to meet during Netanyahu’s brief visit to Washington to address the General Assembly of the North American Jewish Federations.

A new Palestinian leader might find a way out of the impasse, but none is in the sights of the US president, the Israeli prime minister or the Palestinians. Even if a reasonable figure was found, it would take a newcomer to the PA leadership a couple of years to find his feet and establish himself. During that period, assuming the lid stayed clamped down on Palestinian terrorist action from the West Bank – which is far from a certainty – the peace track would be frozen solid.

Our Washington sources do not expect Mitchell to return to the Middle East any time soon.

The situation with Iran is much more fraught because time is running out as Iran speeds toward its nuclear and missile goals. In the summer, Netanyahu gave Obama a guarantee to hold off on a military initiative against Iran until the end of the year to give his diplomatic engagement effort a chance.

This deadline is now only seven weeks away. DEBKAfile’s Washington sources are assuming that the US president will use the Israeli prime minister’s brief Washing ton visit

to ask him to extend this deadline a while longer to permit him a last throw at cajoling Iran to accept a deal over its uranium enrichment.

Our sources do not expect Netanyahu to refuse the president, both for the sake of his good standing with the Obama administration and because he too is in no hurry to cross the Rubicon for an act of war against Iran.

Procrastination in the West is Tehran’s greatest boon.

This past year, the Iranians have managed to keep the diplomatic ball they are playing with the world powers up in the air and hold sanctions at bay while using the space to press forward with their military nuclear and missile programs.

Addressing the General Assembly of the North American Jewish Federations, Netanyahu again challenged the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to join Israel for peace talks.

Obama, who called off his speech to the event to attend Fort Hood memorial ceremonies, invited a group of 60 Jewish leaders to a White House reception Tuesday and thanked them for the “countless hours of tzedakah (charity) they put in every day of the week.”

Defense minister Ehud Barak said after meeting defense secretary Robert Gates Monday, “the strategic understanding with the United States and the cooperation on intelligence matters are cornerstones of Israel’s security.”

EVENTS OF THE LAST 1335 DAYS OF THE GENTILE AGE – PART 2

November 13, 2009

CONSULT DIAGRAM SENT BY E-MAIL ON NOVEMBER 12, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

EVENT 2 – Thirty days after Israel (King of the South) pushes into Lebanon, the 144,000 sealed Jews of Revelation 7:4, led by the two witnesses, will begin to testify in Jerusalem, and will continue for 1260 days until Revelation 11:12-15 is fulfilled. The message will be like John the Baptist and Christ’s message, in that it will be one of repentance, associated with sackcloth. The message of John and Jesus was “repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven�

�� is at hand.

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 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.

Revelation 7:4 – And I heard the number of them

which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred

and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

The two witnesses and the 144,000 believers, who are a remnant of the Seed of the man child born of the woman Israel, will witness in Jerusalem for some 45 days

in Jerusalem, and 1215 days in the Negev Wilderness, for a total of 1260 days. They will have the testimony of the woman’s Seed, Jesus Christ, which keep the commandments of God.

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.

Revelation 12:17 – And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The two witnesses will be killed by Antichrist when he sets up the abomination that “maketh desolate” on the Temple Mount. Their bodies will be resurrected after three and one-half days and ascend into heaven through a cloud.

A great earthquake will occur in the same hour they ascend, and the 144,000 will give glory to God. On the same day the 144,000 and all the saved on the earth will be quickly caught up to be judged in heaven.

Revelation 11:12-15 – And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

[13] And THE SAME HOUR was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh QUICKLY.

[15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The two witnesses and 144,000 will begin to testify 30 days after the attack and will testify for 1260 days.

Antichrist will kill the two witnesses and declare himself to be God on the Temple Mount making himself the “abomination that maketh desolate.”

Three and one-half days later three events occur in rapid succession on the same day: (1) The two witnesses ascend into heaven, (2) A great earthquake occurs, and (3) The seventh trump sounds and all the saved are caught up, including the sealed 144,000.

After the rapture of all the saved the remainder of the two million Jews which make up the woman Israel will call on the name of the Lord and he will save them.

In a single day a nation will be born. They will be protected from the seven vials of wrath being poured out on the earth while those already caught out are being judged for rewards in heaven.

This remnant shall go into the Millennium in bodies of flesh saved by the grace of God in Christ Jesus.

Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

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.

Hosea 1:10 – Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Romans 11:25-27 – 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.

[26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
