SONG OF MOSES LATTER DAY SERIES – NUMBER 3

July 1, 2010

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

As was outlined in the two previous prophecies concerning the Song of Moses, it was a preview of coming attractions through which Israel was to pass from the time of the death of Moses

to the time when the Age of the Fullness of the Gentiles would come in. Because they did not have an interest in studying and understanding the Scriptures delivered to them by the prophets God sent

to them, it was only natural that they would not recognize Messiah when he arrived, and would reject him, because he did not meet their own traditional expectations of what he was sent to accomplish for them as a people. And yet the pre-incarnate personage of Christ as the Rock of Israel had been with Israel from the very beginning.

Yet they were unmindful of his character, which was

the same as the one who had formed them. Messiah was the same God who followed them as their spiritual Rock in all of their wanderings.

DEUTERONOMY 32:18 – Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

I Corinthians 10:4,5 – And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. [5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

John 1:11 – He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Israel rejected him as their Messiah because they had repeatedly provoked God’s sons and daughters he had sent to them over and over again to advise Israel of the character of their coming Messiah. Because they would not receive their testimony, but consistently provoked them, and then rejected the one of whom they testified, God abhorred them, and made them, and their temple, spiritually desolate before him.

DEUTERONOMY 32:19 – And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

Matthew 23:37,38 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

[38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

God has hidden his face from Israel for over 1900 years, they are a faithless nation in the true Messiah, and will not put their faith in him until after they have been sent into the Negev wilderness, fleeing from their enemies. In the Negev, near

the Second Advent of their Messiah, all Israel will put their faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

DEUTERONOMY 32:20 – And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

Matthew 23:39 – For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall

say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Israel stumbled over the Rock, the Stone of God, who he sent to save them from their sins. But in the nation of the Gentiles, whom the Jews think to be a foolish nation of heathen, many have received him as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, and have been saved by his grace.

DEUTERONOMY 32:21 – They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with

their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people: I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Israel stumbled over the Rock, the Stone that God laid as the cornerstone of salvation for all men who would receive him as their redeemer. He was sent to Israel, but they rejected him.

God has concluded them all in the unbelief of his Son as their Messiah, but they will finally believe as a nation in the Negev wilderness.

Romans 11:32 – For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

I Peter 2:6-10 – Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. [7] Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, [8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. [9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [10] Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

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.

Zechariah 2:8 – For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

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;

Haggai 2:6 – For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

Revelation 6:14 – And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Ezekiel 38:18-20 – And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog

shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. [19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things

that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

Israel-US relations suffering ‘tectonic rift’

Israel’s ambassador to US says Washington-Tel Aviv ties worse than a crisis under Obama.

TEL AVIV – Israeli-US relations have undergone a huge shift amounting to what Israel’s ambassador to Washington has termed “a genuine tectonic rift,” media reports said on Sunday.

Briefing officials at the foreign ministry last week, ambassador Michael Oren described the state of ties between Israel and its closest ally as worse than a crisis, something akin to that of two continents drifting apart.

According to one diplomat quoted by the Haaretz daily, Oren used bleak terms to explain the changes which have taken place under the administration of US President Barack Obama.

“Relations are in the state of a tectonic rift in which continents are drifting apart,” Oren was quoted as saying by the diplomat.

Another diplomat who spoke to the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said there had been an historic change in Washington’s approach to Israel.

“There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs,” he quoted Oren as saying.

Both papers quoted Oren as attributing the shift in sentiment to “interests and cold considerations” by Obama who did not have the same historical-ideological bent towards Israel as his predecessors.

The Israeli foreign ministry was not immediately available for comment on the reports, which came just over a week before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to the White House for talks with Obama.

Israeli-US relations have taken a battering in recent months amid a row over illegal Jewish settlement building in Israeli-occupied Palestinian East Jerusalem and the fallout from a deadly Israeli raid on an international aid fleet trying to break the blockade on Gaza.

The two leaders had been due to meet on June 1 for a reconciliatory meeting that was called off at the last minute after

the flotilla raid.

US military chief in Israel for top-level talks

The top US military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, arrived in Tel Aviv on Sunday for talks with Israeli military and defence officials, both sides said.

“This is a very short visit — he will meet with Defence Minister (Ehud) Barak and with (Chief of Staff) Gaby Ashkenazi and a few others from the defence establishment,” a US emb

assy spokesman said.

Mullen, who is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was expected to meet Barak at around midday, the Israeli defence ministry said without giving further details.

A military spokesman said the meeting would focus on “cooperation between the two armies and the challenges they have to face,” but defence officials quoted by the Jerusalem Post said the two would discuss Iran’s nuclear programme and the situation in Syria and Lebanon.

They would also discuss the deterioration in relations between Israel and Turkey

in the wake of the disastrous naval raid on a Gaza-bound aid fleet which left nine Turkish activists dead, the paper said.

THREE CHEERS AND A 21 GUN SALUTE

FOR TOP ANALYST CAROLINE B. GLICK!

WHO ISN’T AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH

ABOUT MISLED MOTIVES OF BAD MEDIA!

June 30, 2010

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

To release a thousand terrorists to free one man is rank insanity. It will result in hundreds of more Israelis being killed by the terrorists they release, and will give all the terrorist groups an incentive to kidnap more Israeli soldiers. We are trying to carry on war with ungodly terrorist thugs as though this was a gentleman’s war. I will confess if it was one of my two sons, my emotional status might be such that I would do exactly what Gilad’s Father is doing, but I would hope our leader would have the good sense to ignore my efforts, knowing it would cost loss of many lives as a consequence of it. We are dealing with ungodly fanatics, who sacrifice their sons, daughters, and wives to a false God in the name of Jihad. This is certainly NOT a gentleman’s war!

Begin Excerpt from THE JERUSALEM POST

Our World: Alternatives to surrender

By CAROLINE B. GLICK

06/29/2010

For too long, by allowing themselves to be led by our deranged media, Israeli citizens and governments alike have ignored the fact that the answer to every question is not more concessions

To the roaring cheers of the local media, on Sunday the Schalit family embarked on a cross-country march to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s residence. They set out two days after the fourth anniversary of IDF Sgt. Gilad Schalit’s captivity.

Outside their home on Sunday, Gilad’s father Noam Schalit pledged not to return home without his son. The Schalit family intends to camp out outside of Netanyahu’s home until the government reunites them with Gilad.

For weeks the local media – and especially Ma’ariv and Yediot Aharonot – have portrayed the Schalit family’s trek to Netanyahu as a reenactment of Moses’ journey to Pharaoh.

Like Pharaoh, the media insinuates that Netanyahu is evil because he refuses to free Gilad from bondage.

The only drawback to this dramatic, newspaper- selling story is that it is wrong. Gilad Schalit is not a hostage in Jerusalem. He is a hostage in Gaza. His captor is not Netanyahu. His captor is Hamas.

And because the story is wrong, the media organized cavalcade of ten thousand well-intentioned Israelis is moving in the wrong direction. And not only is it going in the wrong direction, it is doing so at Gilad Schalit’s expense.

The truth that Yediot and Ma’ariv’s marketing departments ignore is that Schalit’s continued captivity is a function of Hamas’s growing strength. To bring him home, Israel shouldn’t release a thousand terrorists from prison.

To bring Gilad Schalit home a free man, Israel must weaken Hamas. And this is an eminently achievable goal. Noam Schalit knows it is an achievable goal.

That is why last week he was the most outspoken critic of Netanyahu’s decision to abandon Israel’s economic sanctions against Hamas-controlled Gaza. That is why over the past four years, the Schalit family has staged countless protests against Israel’s massive and continuous assistance to Hamas-controlled Gaza. If anything positive is to come from this march, then when the Schalit family arrives in Jerusalem they should abandon the newspapers’ demand that Israel surrender to all of Hamas’s demands. They should acknowledge that doing so will only guarantee that more Israelis will be kidnapped and murdered by Hamas and its allies.

If the Schalits wish to criticize the government, they should criticize Netanyahu and his coalition for the steps they have taken to strengthen Hamas. The Schalits should demand that the government reinstate and tighten Israel’s economic sanctions against Gaza. They should demand that Israel end its supply of electricity and gasoline to Gaza and take more effective action to block smuggling through the tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border.

All of these actions will weaken Hamas, and so contribute to the prospect of it being forced by the Gazans themselves to release Schalit to his family.

ONE OF the important truths ignored by Israel’s pathological media is that Hamas and its Iranian sponsor are not all powerful.

They are vulnerable to criticism from their own publics. And Israel is capable of fomenting such criticism.

For example, the imprisoned terrorists whose release Hamas demands in exchange for releasing Schalit have consistently responded rationally to Israeli threats. The Knesset is slowly debating a bill that would worsen prison conditions of terrorists. And the terrorists are worried. Their worry provoked them to demand that Hamas be more forthcoming with Schalit.

By the same token, were Israel to cut off electricity to Gaza – an act that is not merely lawful, but arguably required by international law – we could expect residents of Gaza to express a similarly rational demand to Hamas.

That is, were Israel to weaken public support for Hamas, Hamas would be more likely to bow to Israel’s will.

And if Hamas is vulnerable to public criticism, the Iranian regime

is downright terrified of public criticism. Take the regime’s behavior in the wake of the Turkish-Hamas flotilla campaign.

In the days that followed Israel’s bungled May 31 takeover of the Mavi Marmara, Iran announced it was sending two of its own ships to Gaza. Israel responded rationally and forthrightly. The government warned that any Iranian ship would be viewed as an enemy ship and Israel would respond in accordance with the rules of war.

As Iran expert Michael Ledeen has argued repeatedly, the Iranian regime is terrified of getting the Iranian people angry over its radical foreign policy. In light of its precarious standing with its own public, Israel’s forthright threat of war brought the regime to its knees.

Last Thursday, Hossein Sheikholdslam, the Iranian regime functionary responsible for the Gaza-bound ships, told the Iranian news service IRNA that plans to send the ships were scrapped because Israel “sent a letter to the United Nations saying that the presence of Iranian and Lebanese ships in the Gaza area will be considered a declaration of war on [Israel] and it will confront it.”

During the war with Iran’s Hizbullah proxy in 2006, thousands of Iranians demonstrated against Hizbullah. They demanded that the regime invest its money in

the local economy and not in Hizbullah and the Palestinians.

Were Israel to present Schalit as an Israeli victim of the Iranian regime, it could provoke a similar popular outcry against Iran’s support for Hamas. The media-manipulated Schalits are not the only ones acting precisely against their own interests. The government is acting with similar madness in its relations with the Obama administration. Indeed, Netanyahu ended Israel’s lawful economic sanctions against Hamas-controlled Gaza (sanctions that served, among other things as a bargaining chip for freeing Schalit), because the Obama administration placed overwhelming pressure on him to do so.

Not wishing to let the Mavi Marmara crisis go to waste, US President Barack Obama had used it as a means to weaken Israel against Hamas. Obama announced that he was giving Hamas-controlled Gaza $400 million in US aid.

He forced Netanyahu to end Israel’s economic sanctions against the illegal Hamas regime.

Moreover, according to remarks by a senior Hamas terrorist to the London-based Al- Quds al-Arabi newspaper on Friday, the Obama administration maintains direct ties to the

Hamas leadership in Syria.

WHEN NETANYAHU entered office last spring his desire to appease Obama was understandable.

At the time, he was operating under the hope that perhaps Obama could be appeased into ending his onslaught against the Jewish state. But the events of the past year have made clear that Obama is unappeasable. Every concession Israel has made to Obama has merely whetted the US president’s appetite for more.

The policy implications of this state of affairs are clear. First, Israel must strive to weaken Obama.

Since Israeli concessions to Obama strengthen him, Israel must first and foremost stop giving him concessions.

Weakening Obama does not involve openly attacking him. It means Israel should act in a way that advances its interests and forces Obama to reconsider the desirability of his current foreign policy.

Regionally, Israel should make common cause with the Kurds of Iran, Iraq and Syria who are now being assaulted by Iran, Turkey and Syria. Doing so is not simply the moral thing to do. It weakens Iran, Syria and Turkey and demonstrates that Obama’s appeasement policies are harming those who love freedom and empowering those who hate it.

By the same token, Israel should do everything it can to strengthen the Iranian Green movement. Every anti-regime action in Iran – regardless of its size – harms the regime and

therefore helps Israel.

And every anti-regime action in Iran exposes the moral depravity and strategic idiocy of Obama’s policy of appeasing the mullocracy.

AS FOR the US domestic political realm, in Ambassador Michael Oren’s all but schizophrenic recent statements about the Obama administration’s policy towards Israel, we may at last be witnessing an embrace of political sanity on the part of the government.

For the past several months, Oren has acted as the Obama administration’s most energetic cheerleader to the US Jewish community.

He has repeatedly and wrongly reassured US Jewish audiences that Obama is a great friend of Israel, that his Democratic Party remains loyal to the US-Israel alliance and that the Republicans are wrong to claim that there is a difference between the two major US political parties when it comes to supporting Israel.

The pinnacle of Oren’s pro-Obama campaign came with his interview last week with The Jerusalem Post. There he brought all of these false and counter-productive claims into the public realm. Apparently Oren’s decision to make his adulation of the Obama administration public finally forced his bosses in Jerusalem to order him to cease, desist and do an about face.

And so, last week, Oren told a closed audience of Israeli diplomats the truth. Under Obama, Oren whispered, there has been a “tectonic rift” in US relations with Israel. While some of Obama’s advisers are sympathetic to Israel, these advisers have no influence on Obama’s positions on Israel.

No doubt recognizing how silly his about face made him look, Oren tried to deny his statements at the Foreign Ministry. But it is hard to imagine anyone will take him seriously.

During his visit to the White House next week, Netanyahu should follow the path set by Oren’s quickly leaked remarks. Netanyahu should abstain from praising Obama for his friendship and speak instead about the fact that the US-Israel alliance is vital for both countries’ national security.

Netanyahu should insist on the right to call on questioners at his joint appearance with Obama. And he should use those questions and those appearances to discuss why Israel’s actions are not only legal and necessary for Israel, but vital for US national security.

During his stay in the US, Netanyahu should discuss the global jihad, Islamic terrorism, the freedom-loving Kurds and the freedom-loving Iranian people every chance he gets.

Indeed, he should create opportunities to discuss them.

Here we see a crucial point of convergence between the Schalit family march to Jerusalem and Netanyahu’s trip to Washington. To increase the effectiveness of their efforts on behalf of Gilad, ahead of Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, the marchers should split into two groups.

The first group should continue to Jerusalem and demand that Israel take a firmer stand against Hamas.

The second group should walk to Tel Aviv and camp out outside the US Embassy. There they should demand that the administration end its contacts with Hamas, end its pressure on the Israeli government to strengthen Hamas, cancel Obama’s plan to give an additional $400 million dollars in aid to Hamas and use the US’s position on the UN Security Council to condemn Turkey for its material support for Hamas.

For too long, by allowing themselves to be led by our deranged media, Israeli citizens and governments alike have ignored the basic fact that the answer to every question is not more Israeli concessions. Contrary to what our tabloids would have us believe, surrender is only one option among many. It is time we try out some alternatives.

WHEN U.S. TROOPS ARE WITHDRAWN FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, THE FINAL WAR OF THIS AGE WILL SOON BREAK OUT. SINCE I KNOW WAR IS INEV ITABLE I AM ANXIOUS FOR

IT TO BEGIN, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL END WITH THE SECOND ADVENT OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL, JESUS CHRIST. AT AGE 78, I NOW DESIRE TO SEE HIM MORE THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS TIME IN MY LIFE.

I admit my bias and prejudice in knowing that a Middle East war MUST break out according to biblical prophecy. A synoptic analyst is not supposed to direct himself toward a foregone conclusion. He must let the data and reports lead him to the final conclusion without predetermined bias. Since I know God’s Word is inspired, it is quite true I do work toward the foregone conclusion war WILL definitely occur in the Middle East, and that the final battle will be Armageddon. Analyzing the events that precede the breaking out of war, as they match prophecy, I try to be secularly objective as to WHEN the war will begin.

Secularly speaking, I do not believe Islam wants a major war with Israel with large numbers of U.S. troops along the borders of the three Islamic nations leading the counterattack, namely Turkey, Syria, and Iran.

So I do not believe a MAJOR Middle East war will begin until MOST or ALL ground troops are pulled out. I believe they will be pulled out before 2015, and the final war of the Age of the Gentiles will begin between Islam and Israel, resulting in Israel being driven into the Negev Wilderness, where a UN truce will be accepted, leaving Israel surrounded in the Negev for some three and one-half years.

The truce will be broken at the end of that time by Islam, the final battle of Armageddon will begin, and the Second Advent of Jesus the Messiah will end it.

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.

Revelation12:6 – 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 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.

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.

Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

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

Luke 21:25-27 – 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. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with

their flesh.

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.

Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

Third US carrier, 4,000 Marines augment US armada opposite Iran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

June 28, 2010, 10:45 PM (GMT+02:00)

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Washington has posted a third carrier opposite Iran’s shores. It is supported by amphibious assault ships and up to 4,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel, bringing the total US strength in these waters to three carriers and 10,000 combat personnel.

The USS Nassau (LHA-4) Amphibious Ready Group

24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, tasked with supporting the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet area of operations, is cruising around the Bab al-Mandeb Straits where the Gulf of Aden flows into the Red Sea. Its presence there accounts for Tehran announcing Sunday, June 27 that its “aid ship for Gaza” had been called off, for fear an American military boarding party would intercept the vessel and search it. This would be permissible under the latest UN sanctions punishing the Islamic Republic for its nuclear program.

The third US carrier group to reach waters around Iran consists of three vessels:

1. The USS Nassau Amphibious Assault ship is not just an enormous landing craft for the 3,000 Marines aboard; its decks carry 6 vertical take-off AV-HB Harrier attack plans; four AH-1W Super Cobra, twelve CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters, as well choppers convertible to fast V-22 Osprey airplanes capable of landing in any conditions.

This vast warship has 1,400 cabinets for sleeping the entire Marine-24th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard.

2. The amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde which carries 800 Marines equipped for instantaneous landing.

3. The amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland which carries 400 Marines and 102 commandos trained for special operations behind enemy lines.

DEBKAfile adds: The USS Ashland was the target of an al Qaeda Katyusha rocket attack in 2005 when it was docked in Jordan’s Aqaba port next door to the Israeli port of Eilat. One of the rockets exploded in Eilat airport. The ship exited harbor in time to escape harm.

These new arrivals are a massive injection of naval, air and marine muscle to the strength Washington has deployed in the Persian Gulf-Red Sea-Indian Ocean arena in recent months.

The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group consisting of twelve warships is cruising in the Arabian Sea opposite Chah Bahar, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards biggest naval base not far from the Iranian-Pakistan border. It is there that most of Iran’s special commando units are housed.

Also posted in the Arabian Sea, further to the west, is the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike Group.

SONG OF MOSES LATTER DAY SERIES – NUMBER 2

June 29, 2010

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

As I indicated

in our Song of Moses Number 1, the song was introduced in Chapter 31 of the book of Deuteronomy, and presented in Chapter 32. Moses was about to die, and God

gave him a historical account of what was to befall Israel from that time to the “latter days,” when the fullness of the Gentile Age would end.

Deuteronomy 31:28 to 32:5 – Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. [29] For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you and evil will befall you IN THE LATTER DAYS; because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. [30] And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

[1] Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. [2] My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: [3] Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. [4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. [5] They have corrupted themselves their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

Time after time, from the Egyptian exodus, through the exile and return from Babylonian captivity,

and then in Roman bondage, they corrupted themselves again and again in failing to follow his doctrinal teachings that fell from heaven through the words of the prophets. They were repeatedly punished for failing to see their God as the unchanging Rock, as the God of truth, and without iniquity.

By the time their God came as their Messiah, because they did not study the words of the prophets, they failed to recognize him as the Son of God, in who dwelt the fullness of God, without iniquity. As a crooked and perverse nation they crucified their own Messiah, and received him not as the Rock of their salvation.

John 1:11 – He came unto his own, and his

own received him not.

I Corinthians 10:4,5 – And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. [5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

By the time their true Messiah Jesus Christ arrived, they had become a spiritually foolish people toward God, trusting in their own wisdom and works of the law to bring them salvation.

Deuteronomy 32:6 – Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwis

e? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

They foolishly rejected the one who made them, and then crucified him, the Word, the Logos, the living God of all Israel, who came to them in a tabernacle of flesh.

John 1:1-4 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God.

[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

They foolishly refused to honor him as God’s Son, the Messiah, by failing to come to him as the only Rock who could save them. They foolishly believed they could keep God’s standard of righteousness that was in the law, but only God himself could keep every jot and tittle of his own standard of righteousness, and God kept it as God in the body of the man, the Messiah, Christ Jesus.

John 5:39-41 – Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. [40] And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. [41] I receive not honour from men.

Matthew 5:17,18 – Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Christ perfectly fulfilled every jot and tittle of the Law of Moses, the Law of God. He came into the world without sin, being the Son of God, formed by his Father in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He is the only man who ever fully pleased God,

who indwelt him in all his fullness. He fulfilled all that was necessary for God to be just, and the justifier of all who put their faith in his Son for the total salvation of their souls. He finished all the work on the cross at Golgotha.

John 19:30 – When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Today, Israel is still a foolish nation concerning their own Messiah, but they are not alone, most of the world today agrees with them, in that they will not believe that Christ was crucified for their sins, and will not put their faith in him alone to save them from eternal damnation.

Deuteronomy 32:6 – Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

I Corinthians 18-23 – For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. [19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world

? [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. [22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: [23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

Is your faith in Christ crucified for your sins, and in his being alive to keep you safe from hell forever

? Is that enough faith for God to be just in saving your soul eternally

? That is a saving faith that stands in the power of God, and Christ’s righteousness is the only righteousness that God will accept as your justification before him!

I Corinthians 2:2,5 – For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Romans 3:26 – To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
