A Gigantic Overthrowing,

MOCKED BY THE SYRIANS,

Challenged by the Iranians,

Opposed by Arabic Neighbors,

Defiled BY THE Terrorist Groups,

Both the Hizbullah and the Hamas!

Now Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia

Are Three Cruising For A Major Surprise

When Antichrist heads South in Final War!

JORDAN’S KING WILL NOT BE AWARE OF THE PLANNED ATTACK

The dwelling place of the descendants of Ammon, Moab, and Edom, at the time the prophecies of Daniel were written, fit perfectly within the borders of today’s Jordan.
Jordan is by-passed when Antichrist heads south into the Glorious Land of Israel. The rulers of Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will be overthrown from within by internal terrorist groups while the Antichrist is busy overrunning the land of Israel from Dan to Beersheba.

Daniel 11:41 – He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

EGYPT’S PRESIDENT WILL NOT BE AWARE OF THE PLANNED ATTACK

After the Antichrist drives Israel into the Negev Wilderness, he will veer westward, take over the Suez and conquer Egypt.

Cairo will become the capital of his great Caliphate for some three and one-half years.

Daniel 11:42,43 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

SAUDI’S KING WILL NOT BE AWARE OF THE PLANNED ATTACK

At the time Ezekiel wrote his prophecies the descendants of Sheba and Dedan were settled in what is now known as Saudi Arabia.

Ezekiel 38:13 – Sheb a,

and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoi

l? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

EUROPE, U.S., AND THE WEST WON’T BE AWARE OF THE ATTACK PLAN

Verse 13 mentions three other descendants which were not mentioned previously as being among the horde that attacked Israel, namely, Sheba, Dedan, and Tarshish. Sheba and Dedan settled in the land we know as Saudi Arabia, later colonizing across the Red Sea in the horn we know today

as Ethiopia. Tarshish is much harder to nail down

to a specific location. The descendants of Tarshish were sea merchants who became the peoples of the Mediterranean Sea coast. The headquarters of the descendants of Tarshish is now generally accepted by most biblical authorities as a district in the south of Spain where the city of Tartessus once existed.

The merchants of Tarshish scattered their descendants in village settlements along most of the coastal sections of Europe.

I am persuaded that Europe represents the descendant offspring of Tarshish.

It is quite possible that God may look upon the rest of Western Civilization as being the offspring (descendants) of Europe (“the young lions thereof”). The countries of the New World became the “melting pot” of Europe.

It is very interesting what Saudi Arabia, Europe, and the rest of Western Civilization have to say to Gog about his attack on Israel: “Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?” This is no more or less than the perfect description of a diplomatic protest to Gog’s actions. When the anti-Christ and his armies roar south into Israel in a blitzkrieg lightning strike, the rest of the free world will protest, protest, protest – and do nothing about it. The anti-Christ will take Jerusalem within four days of his initial strike in the north, and within 2 and ½ months most of Israel will have fled into the Negev south of Beersheva, where she will remain for some three and one-half years. Jerusalem will fall and only one-third of Israel’s population will make it safely into the Negev.

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.

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.

Zechariah 14:1,2 – 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.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt Fret as Influence Fades

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

By MICHAEL SLACKMAN, The New York Times

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Even before Mahmoud Abbas announced that he would not seek re-election as the Palestinian president, throwing the Palestinian Authority into chaos, America’s closest Arab allies, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, had begun to despair over Washington’s Middle East missteps, government officials and political experts said.

With Israel having rebuffed American calls to freeze settlement-building, and with the prospects for substantive peace talks fading, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are increasingly viewed in the region as diminished actors whose influence is on the wane, political experts say.

They have been challenged by Iran, opposed by much smaller Arab neighbors, mocked by Syria and defied by influential nonstate groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Even while Iran has been focused on its domestic political crisis, and Syria has struggled with an economic

and water crisis, their continued support for Hamas and Hezbollah has preserved for them a strong hand in matters like the formation of a new government in Lebanon and efforts to reconcile Palestinian factions, officials and analysts said.

Officials in Saudi Arabia and Egypt acknowledge all this; they admit that they are no longer masters of their universe. What they do not agree upon is how to respond.

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has decided that Arab unity is the only way to re-establish the kingdom’s role and to blunt Iran’ s growing influence.

The king has begun a diplomatic drive to smooth relations with two Arab leaders who have insulted and admonished him in the past, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya and, more recently, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.

gyptian officials say they wish the king well but have declined to participate in his reconciliation initiative because they think it will fail as long as Syria determines that the advantages of playing the spoiler outweigh the gains of pushing for peace.

“If there is no peace, then all those who bet against peace are winning,” said an Egyptian official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid increasing tensions with the United States or Saudi Arabia. “And all those who act and bet there will be peace are losing, like us.

We are losing because we are putting this bet.”

The great promise of President Obama’s June speech in Cairo, officials and political commentators said, was severely damaged when Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on her recent trip to the Middle East, praised as “unprecedented” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to slow the building of settlements. That left the leadership of Saudi Arabia and Egypt — the two regional American allies most committed to negotiating with Israel — exposed, embarrassed and weakened, political analysts and government officials.

“Egypt’s role is receding regionally, and its cards are limited,” said Emad Gad, an expert in international relations at the government-financed Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo. “Their main card, which is reconciliation and peace, is receding.”

Egypt says these efforts will come to nothing until there is progress in the peace process, an approach the Saudis have not accepted.

Even as its vast reserves of oil money have expanded its global influence, Saudi Arabia finds itself unable to exert its will even on its own border, where it blames Iran for stoking an uprising against the government in Yemen; or in Lebanon, where its chief source of influence, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, was assassinated. Even its goal of leading the Persian Gulf states, under the umbrella of the Gulf Cooperation Council, has faltered.

“Saudi’s role in the last 10 years has declined,” said Abdulkarim H. al-Dekhayel, a political science professor at King Saud University in Riyadh.

“The leadership now feels it has to try to reset the agenda.”

The Saudis have decided that the key to re-establishing a strong hand in the region rests broadly in Arab unity and specifically in Syria. Syria has close economic and political ties with Iran. It hosts the political leadership of the militant group Hamas. It shares a border with Iraq and has been accused of allowing militants and weapons to cross over. It has a close alliance with Hezbollah. All of these are excellent tools for undermining Saudi efforts to blunt Iran and push for peace with Israel.

“The relations between the Arab countries, if they are solid, if the understanding is there, if the cohesiveness of their policy exists, then there is no worry,” said Prince Saud al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia’s longtime foreign minister. “It is only when there is division, and looking for other alternatives between the Arab countries, that creates problems.”

But Saudi Arabia’s challenge is also one of leverage, political analysts and Saudi officials said. How does Saudi Arabia persuade Syria to switch from the antipeace camp, to the pro-peace camp?

The Saudis have hinted at two strategies. One involves giving Syria much needed economic assistance. The other, though not stated directly, involves Lebanon. Syria has made it clear that it views events in Lebanon as central to its national security, as well as its pride. Saudi Arabia has tried in recent years to keep Lebanon in its orbit through proxies and cash infusions. But lately it has suggested that it might not object to Syria reasserting political control there.

“What is recognized is that Lebanon is more important to Syria than any other Arab country,” said a Saudi official who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to antagonize officials in either country. “It’s in its backyard. We understand that. But what we are looking for is some kind of Arab unity to stop foreign intervention in our Arab affairs.”

Egyptian officials, for their part, have been trying to reconcile the Palestinian factions, which have been at odds since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip. While that is looking ever more remote, the Egyptians believe that a deal between Hamas and Fatah would already have been reached as a result of their mediation efforts if not for intervention by Syria, officials said.

Egyptian officials say they would be delighted if Saudi Arabia succeeded, not only in mending relations with Syria, but also in persuading the Syrians to sever ties with Iran, stop supporting Hamas and actually support the Arab initiative, which offers Israel peace in return for withdrawal to 1967 border lines, establishment of an independent Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital and a “just solution” to the refugee problem.

But the Egyptians said they simply did not believe that would happen.

“Does the West give any support to those moderates on the Palestinian front, on the Arab side, that advocate peace, that say, ‘It is not about resistance any more, but what we want can be achieved through negotiations?’ ” said the Saudi government official. “The answer is, ‘No.’ Do we have an empty hand? The answer is, ‘Yes.’ ”

EVENTS OF THE LAST 1335 DAYS OF THE GENTILE AGE – PART 1

November 12, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The last 1335 days of the Gentile Age will begin when the last war of this age starts in Israel between Israel and the forces of Islam.

I believe it very likely this war will beg in at some po

int in time between 2010 and 2015.

While the vast majority of prophetic buffs on television, turning out books faster than “Jack be Nimble, Jack be Quick, Jack jumped over the Candle Stick,” are still assuring believers there will be 1260 days of a peace treaty with the Antichrist prior to 1260 days of “Great Tribulation,” we are headed for a war which will not be preceded by 1260 days of peace. It is very likely to begin at some point in time between 2010 and 2015 when Islamic forces attack Israel and the clock begins to suddenly tick off the last 1335 days of Daniel’s 70th Week remaining in Daniel 9:27.

Because of the huge percentage of prophetic teachers who taught there would be 1260 of peace, I tried up until now to cling to a brief peace period of perhaps 75 days before Israel was attacked, to at least attempt to not violently be in opposition to this teaching, but the time is short, and I am standing up now to what I am convinced is the case – There will not be a peace treaty with the man of sin prior to the attack against Israel.

There are only 1335 days remaining to be fulfilled in Daniel’s 70th Week of Years, and I believe his clock will start to tick again when Israel is attacked at some point in time from 2010 to 2015.

We are now waiting for the attack to occur which makes Daniel’s clock begin to tick.

We now wait for the travail of the woman Israel to start as she reaches full confidence in her own power and might to never be defeated by Islam. God will humble Israel in the Negev Wilderness after allowing her to suffer a bitter defeat.

I believe Israel trusts more in her own ability to defeat her foes that in God’s ability to defend and protect her. When she is certain she is able to maintain her own “peace and safety” by her own power and might, then we will see sudden destruction come on her from the north.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

EVENT 1 – Israel responds to a rocket attack from Hizbullah in Lebanon, and moves rapidly into southern Lebanon.

This action by Israel, the king of the south, plays into a well laid trap by the king of the north (Syria). Because of Israel’s thrust into Lebanese territory, the United Nations will brand Israel as the aggressor, as will more than 90 percent of the international community. In a planned trap a massive counterattack will be launched by Syrian, Lebanese, and Iranian Forces across Israel’s northern border.

Daniel 11:40 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

After initial success by Islamic forces against Israel in the counterattack, Iraq and Turkey will quickly join in the fray, and overflow into northern territory in Galilee. These successes will cause other Arab nations like Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Tunisia to declare Jihad.

Progress will slow until Arab forces are brought into Lebanon in ever increasing numbers, and Antichrist will drive toward the capital of the Holy Land.

Daniel 11:41 – He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

“Overthrown” is the primary root “kashal.” It is not normally translated as “overthrown.” It meant “to totter or waver through weakness” – to falter, faint, stumble, or fall.

Many of the Arab nations will be afraid not to join in the Jihad for fear of what will happen to them if they do not. If you will look at any source showing a map of the location of Ammon, Moab, and Edom at the time of Daniel’s writings, you will be amazed how neatly and completely they fill the borders of present day Jordan.

Jordan will be overthrown from within by its predominant Palestinian population and the terrorist groups with it. Rulers of Saudi Arabia and Egypt will be killed unless they are able to flee.

Ezekiel 38:8,9 – After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all

of them. [9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Zechariah 13:8,9 – 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.

The Teachings of the Prophets are NOW Falling in Place!

False Friend HORN on the Beast Creating a Peace Illusion

Which Syria, Iran, and Turkey WILL KNOW is a Fake Peace

Since they will CONTRIVE IT Long Before They Attack Israel,

But it will not be revealed to the world until it actually Occurs

As a massive vicious Islamic Jihad Counterattack against Israel

That will push Israel as Daniel’s King of the South into the Negev,

Where she will remain boxed in for 1260 days surrounded by Islam.

November 11, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I have taught for more than 35 years that Israel’s Tribulation Period leader will be Daniel’s King of the South, and the Antichrist will be the King of the North.

I think I will discover if this is correct before 2015, because it does appear people, places, nations, and events are now coming together in preparation for the fulfillment of all the Tribulation Period prophecies concerning the initial attack of Daniel’s King of the South, followed by the counterattack of the King of the North. I am of the opinion the initial attack could come as early as 2010, but am very confident the optimum time is from 2013 to 1015.

Following numerous successful wars, conflicts, and campaigns against Islamic forces since 1948, Israel has a halo and mindset of “Peace and Safety” invincibility towards the descendents of Ishmael and Keturah. The fact that Turkey and Syria seemingly want to negotiate peace with Israel, with the Turks overseeing negotiations, adds to the Israel fantasy Islam cannot defeat them. The actors are coming into place for the first act of this play to begin with the initial attack.

ISRAEL ALREADY HAS A HALO OF PEACE AND SAFETY INVINCIBILITY, AND IT WILL GROW BRIGHTER BY ANY SORT OF DIPLOMATIC DIALOG TALK OF PEACE.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

THE ATTACK OF THE KING OF THE SOUTH AGAINST ISLAMIC FORCES CLUSTERED IN SOUTH LEBANON WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR, AND THE COUNTERATTACK BY THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST’S MASSIVE FORCES IS SURE TO BE LAUNCHED.

Daniel 11:40-42 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries,

and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

Ezekiel 38:14-17 – Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, SHALT THOU NOT KNOW IT? [15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: [16] And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. [17] Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

THE WORLD WILL BE SHOCKED, AND MANY ARAB COUNTRIES SUCH AS EGYPT, JORDAN, AND SAUDI ARABIA, WILL NOT BE PRIVY TO THE KING OF THE NORTH’S DIABOLICAL PLAN TO DRIVE SOUTH INTO ISRAEL.

Ezekiel 38:13 – Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoi

l? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Verse 13 mentions three other descendants which were not mentioned previously as being among the horde that attacked Israel, namely, Sheba, Dedan, and Tarshish. Sheba and Dedan settled in the land we know as Saudi Arabia, later colonizing across the Red Sea in the horn we know today as Ethiopia. Tarshish is much harder to nail down to a specific location. The descendants of Tarshish were sea merchants who became the peoples of the Mediterranean Sea coast. The headquarters of the descendants of Tarshish is now generally accepted by most biblical authorities as a district in the south of Spain where the city of Tartessus once existed. The merchants of Tarshish scattered their descendants in village settlements along most of the coastal sections of Europe.

I am persuaded that Europe represents the descendant offspring of Tarshish. It is quite possible that God may look upon the rest of Western Civilization as being the offspring (descendants) of Europe (“the young lions thereof”). The countries of the New World became the “melting pot” of Europe.

It is very interesting what Saudi Arabia, Europe, and the rest of Western Civilization have to say to Gog about his attack on Israel: “Art thou come to take a spoil

? Hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?” This is no more or less than the perfect description of a diplomatic protest to Gog’s actions. When the anti-Christ and his armies roar south into Israel in a blitzkrieg lightning strike, the rest of the free world will protest, protest, protest – and do nothing about it. The anti-Christ will take Jerusalem within four days of his initial strike in the north, and within 2 and ½ months most of Israel will have fled into the Negev south of Beersheva, where she will remain for some three and one-half years. Jerusalem will fall and only one-third of Israel’s population will make it safely into the Negev.

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. 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.

Zechariah 14:1 – Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

Jerusalem sets “in the midst” of Israel, and its spoils shall be divided among the 10 conquering nations. Once again, in the prophetic style of writing, in

the next verse, in the last phrase, he jumps to the end of the 1260 days, and assures Israel that God will preserve a remnant in the Negev, which will return some 1260 days after Jerusalem falls.

Zechariah 14:2 – 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.

The word KARATH is translated “CUT OFF.” There are several words translated “cut off” in the KJV.

KARATH means “TO BE CUT OFF FOREVER.” The other Hebrew words translated “cut off’ usually provided a way for the offender to be restored to fellowship with Israel, but KARATH implies BEING CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY CHANCE OF BEING ALLOWED TO RETURN. The word translated RESIDUE is the Hebrew word YETHER, which is translated as REMNANT in Micah 5:3. (See Prophecy Update Number 64)

Micah 5:3 – Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the REMNANT of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. (See Prophecy Update Number 64)

In the last phrase of Zechariah 14:2, God is assuring the tribes of Israel that even if they will be driven out of Jerusalem,

they will return some 1260 days later.

He does this by the use of the word “NOT.” The residue (REMNANT) of the people (ISRAELIS) shall NOT be CUT OFF from the city.

When Jerusalem falls, God begins to fight for Israel, and it begins a period of 1260 days, through which he will extend his protective shield over them in the Negev wilderness.

Zechariah 14:3 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Turkey ready for Syria-Israel dialogue

By Agence France Presse (AFP)

Monday, November 09, 2009

PARIS: Turkey is ready to oversee a new stage of secret peace talks between Israel and Syria, resuming a role it had played until last year, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said here Friday. Historically Israel’s only friend in the Middle East, Ankara has in recent years served as a conduit for diplomatic exchanges between Israel and its arch foe Damascus about improving relations.

But Turkey was angered by Israel’s behavior in the January 2008 conflict in Gaza and ties have become strained.

Last month Israel was excluded from annual joint military exercises and the back channel to Syria has gone quiet.
Turkey – a candidate for membership of the EU – is keen to prove its usefulness as a peace broker in the region, and Davutoglu said it was ready to resume its “honest broker” role if asked by Israel and Syria.

“It’s for the two sides to decide that.

Turkey would like the talks to restart where they left off, or else within a framework decided upon by the parties,” he told reporters during an official visit to Paris.

“We think that it will happen according to a calendar decided by the two sides,” he said, sitting alongside his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner.

Davutoglu took charge of five previous rounds of talks, acting as chairman of telephone conference calls between former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Syria’s President Bashar Assad. – AFP

Hizbullah and Syria Are Strategically Planning A Trap For The IDF,

Hizbullah stopping IDF advance and then Syria closing IDF rear Flank,

Entrapping IDF by surrounding them in Lebanon south of the Litani River,

Then a vicious Counterattack into Israel by many other Islam Nations Begins,

As Islamic Antichrist Charges South into the Glorious Land of the State of Israel!

November 11, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The age of so-called civilized warfare really began in the era of the Napoleonic Wars of 1803 to 1815.

And, with the passage of time, it has become increasingly important for the two countries involved in a conflict to convince the rest of the world the other is the culprit who started the conflict. Every time Hitler, in his early conquests, marched his troops into countries to take them over in bloodless battles, he always had an excuse to justify his attacks. Finally, when he came to his planned conquest of the Poles, he could not really find what even remotely seemed like a justifiable reason. So he manufactured one. He had his own SS troops dress up in Polish uniforms and attack a German border outpost. Then the SS put dead Polish bodies in the immediate vicinity of the outpost and had photographers and reporters in to verify their story. Using this farce as justification for his actions, he attacked Poland in September of 1939, and World War II began.

Some interesting developments, involving Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the terrorist groups, particularly Hizbullah, have been occurring along the northern border of Israel with Lebanon.

I do not believe what I am now observing in that area will lead to an immediate war, but I suspect it may well do so in the not too distant future.

And, if I am correct in my assumptions, it could give the Syrians justification for attacking Israel in the eyes of most of the international world.

Damascus now hosts 10 Palestinian terrorist groups, which include the extremist groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said: “Syria supports the Lebanese national resistance, including Hizbollah, in resisting Israeli occupation and liberating land.” Concerning the demand that the other terrorist groups in Syria be removed, he said: “Their work is limited to political and media activities and their offices in Damascus provide political representation to the 400,000 Palestinians who look to attain their rights and return to their land.” Israel has repeatedly warned Syria that if Hizbollah continued its border attacks on Israeli civilians and troops on

its northern border, they would start hitting targets in Syria in retaliation. Bashar has responded by saying that Syria would defend itself against any Israeli action. He said: “If the Israeli government involves itself in waging aggression on the territory of Syria, then Syria will defend itself.”

So far Israel’s policy against recent Hizbollah attacks has shown remarkable restraint, probably because of not wanting to open a second front of conflict to the one they now have going in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Even though seven Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hizbollah terrorist team that penetrated the border fence, Israel has held back from violent retaliation. And now Bashar al-Assad has joined with Iran to provide heavier rockets for the Hizbollah arsenal of terror. Israeli officials have watched Hizbollah deploy thousands of new missiles and rockets that are aimed at Israeli civilian population centers.

Once Israel has completed its long buffer zone fence around the West Bank, and beefed up the one it already has around the Gaza Strip, it will become confident it has finally achieved the impossible, it will say it has “peace and safety.” And all the time that it was tied up internally in so doing, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey will have been slowly slipping troops in position for a lightning Jihad from the north.

Israel’s preoccupation with its internal safety is going to cause them to slack off in their gaze on what is going on externally.

During the time that Alexander’s great empire had been divided into four sections, the Syrian section (Seleucid) held Israel some of the time, and the Egyptian section (Ptolemy) held it when they took it from the Syrians. At times Israel was a part of the Egyptian section, at times a part of the Syrian section, and at times a part of both. Daniel lists a very long series of battles between the king of the north (Syria) and the king of the South (Egypt). Most of Daniel’s prophecies about these two kingdoms were fulfilled by their many kings from Daniel 11:4 through 35, but there remains one war yet to be fulfilled, and I believe it is the aforementioned Jihad that begins in Daniel 11:40. Since Israel was once part of the section occupied by Ptolemy, I am persuaded that Israel is the king of the south and Syria is the king of the north in Daniel 11:40-45.

Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

I suspect that after Israel has lulled itself into a false sense of peace and safety by its military might, it will have gained even more confidence in its great ability to take care of any Islamic intrusion. It may well be that Syria will get Hizbullah to kick up a storm of activity along the northern border by launching a massive missile and rocket attack across the border into the populations of northern Israel.

Syria will do this knowing that Israel will cross the border into Lebanon and hit Syrian targets from the air. But this time Lebanon, Syria, Turkey Iraq, and Iran will be waiting for it, and five other Islamic nations will be poised to supply logistical support.

The Islamic nations can cry out while they head south: “We were attacked first, we are justified in this response to the Israeli invasion of our sovereign territory.” This will cause a hesitation by the western world at first and, by the time it wakes up, Jerusalem will have fallen, and Israel will be fleeing into the Negev.

‘Hizbullah getting ready for new war’

November 8, 2009

JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

Fearing Israel will launch an assault on Hizbullah before a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Lebanese guerrilla group is getting ready for a new war, the Observer reported on Sunday.

According to the British newspaper, Hizbullah has been “busy reinforcing fixed defense positions” north of the Litani River, and after losing many of its bunkers in the south during the Second Lebanon War, is preparing “a new strategy” to defend villages there.

“Sure, we are rearming, we have even said that we have far more rockets and missiles than we did in 2006,” a Hizbullah commander, speaking on condition of anonymity, was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

“We had to blow up or leave some of our bunkers and fighting positions, but we still have plenty of capabilities in the south. We expect the Israelis to come soon, if not this winter, then they will wait until spring, when the ground isn’t too soft for their tanks.”

The report comes less than a week after the Israel Navy seized a cargo ship loaded with hundreds of tons of weaponry sent to Hizbullah from Iran.

Andrew Exum, a military expert on Hizbullah at the Centre for New American Security, was quoted by the Observer as saying that Hizbullah no longer controls the border, due to the presence of UNIFIL.

“They appear to be hardening the villages for this next round of fighting, while pushing their fixed positions north away from UNIFIL to protect the approaches to Beirut and the Bekaa Valley,” he said.

Uniting of Three Horned Toes on the Beast of the East!

November 10, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Three Iron Toes that are also Three Stronger Horns of Daniel 2, 7, and 11 are now uniting in a strong bond to be part of the fulfillment of Old and New Testament prophecy writings of the ten Islamic nations which will attack Israel. I believe this attack is quite likely to occur before 2015.

Daniel 2:41-44 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of

the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

[42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Daniel 7:24-26 – 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. [26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and

the chief of the children of Ammon.

Ahmadinejad in Turkey for summit

November 8, 2009

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in Istanbul for a one-day Islamic summit as pressure mounts on Tehran to agree to a UN-brokered plan on its nuclear programme.

Iran’s president is among the speakers at a meeting of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, a 57-state bloc.

Presidents Bashar Assad of Syria and Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan are also attending the meeting.

But Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, indicted by the International Criminal Court, has pulled out of

the summit.

Controversial invitation

Sudan’s state-run Suna news agency said “new developments” had required Mr

Bashir’s presence in Sudan.

The Turkish government had previously welcomed the attendance of Mr Bashir at the meeting and said that he would not be arrested, as Turkey was not a signatory to the treaty which set up the Hague-based ICC.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan went as far as saying over the weekend that no war crimes had occurred in Darfur and that he would be more comfortable meeting Sudan’s president than the prime minister of Israel.

But the EU, which Turkey hopes to join, wanted the invitation

to be withdrawn.

‘Capitalist excesses’

The focus of Monday’s meeting is on developing closer trade ties and addressing poverty.

ANALYSIS

Jonathan Head, Istanbul Turkey’s relations with Israel, once quite close, have plummeted in recent months. Yet Mr Erdogan and his ministers insist there’ s been no

shift in foreign policy.

His government has made rapid progress in its eastern policy with new dawns pronounced recently in relations with Iran, Iraq, Syria and Armenia.

Much of this effort is about creating new opportunities for Turkey’s powerful business sector. But Mr Erdog an cle

arly sees his country as a rising regional power.

The United States, a close military ally, has so far kept quiet about Turkey’s eastern ambitions and may even hope to reap some benefit.

But with its EU membership drive running out of steam, there is growing anxiety about where the country is heading.

Addressing the summit, Mr Ahmadinejad blamed the global economic meltdown on capitalist excesses which he said were un-Islamic.

He did not refer to Tehran’s dispute with the international community over its nuclear programme, although this was on the agenda in his talks with Mr Erdogan and Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Sunday.

Last month Mr Erdogan pronounced Iran’s nuclear programme to be entirely peaceful, and he has defended his country’s recent diplomatic moves to strengthen ties with its Muslim neighbours, saying that Turkey’s foreign policy was not shifting its direction or its axis.

In recent weeks Turkey has announced improved relations with Iran, Syria and Iraq, but links with Israel have sharply deteriorated, says the BBC’s Jonathan Head in Istanbul.

Mr Erdogan had earlier questioned the ICC charges against Mr Bashir, saying that “no Muslim could perpetrate a genocide”, according to Turkey’s Anatolia news agency.

The ICC arrest warrant accuses Mr Bashir of running a campaign of genocide that killed 35,000 people outright, at least another 100,000 through a “slow death” and of forcing 2.5 million to flee their homes in Darfur.
