The withdrawal of American Troops will set the stage for the final Middle War to eventually begin, and I believe it IS LIKELY to occur at some point in time between 2013 and 2015.

I have been waiting for this to happen ever since we occupied Iraq, because I have long believed when we departed Iraq would be turned back by its neighbors into its old killing hate for Israel and America.

Daniel 11:40 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south (Israel) push at him: and the king of the north (Syria) 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.

Daniel 2:42-44 – 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.

Petraeus: U.S. troop withdrawal on schedule

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 2:56 AM

By Michael Muskal

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Gen. David Petraeus told senators yesterday that fighting in Afghanistan will remain difficult.

U.S. WAR DEAD

Includes combat and non-combat military deaths:

In Afghanistan, 936 since military operations began Oct. 7, 2001

In Iraq, 4,388 since military operations began March 19, 2003

LOS ANGELES – Iraq remains fragile but is on course to allow the United States to decrease its presence as planned to 50,000 troops by September, the top U.S. soldier who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan told senators yesterday.

Gen. David Petraeus, head of the U.S. Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that success in Iraq was “fragile and reversible, but increasingly less so.”

The general was optimistic but cautious about recent political gains.

“Iraq still faces innumerable challenges, and they will be evident during what will likely be a difficult process as the newly elected Council of Representatives selects the next prime minister,” he said.

While there could be some reconfiguration of the U.S. troops in Iraq, Petraeus said he expected that the military would be able to meet its goal of decreasing its presence, now at about 97,000.

“We still believe we will be able to stay on track to reach 50,000,” Petraeus said in response to a question from Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.

Petraeus predicted a hard year ahead in Afghanistan, where he expects U.S. forces will continue their battle against Taliban militants amid “tough fighting and periodic setbacks.”

Petraeus says Iran nuke won’t happen this year

AP foreign

Wednesday March 17 2010

ANNE FLAHERTY

Associated Press Writer – WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. commander in the Middle East says Iran’s efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon have been delayed “a bit” and that Iran won’t get a nuclear weapon this year.

Gen. David Petraeus (peh-TRAY’-us) told a Senate panel on Tuesday that international pressure on Tehran to abandon its nuclear program should continue.

Petraeus says that a precise assessment of Iran’s nuclear capabilities is classified. But the general says Iran’s ability to obtain a bomb has, as he puts it, “thankfully slid to the right a bit.”

Iran has long claimed that its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful uses of nuclear power.

MORE “STRATEGIC DIALOGUE” AMONG THE 10 TOES!

In January of 2001, in the first update issued by the Dardanelle MBC, a warning was issued concerning a healing reunion that was taking place in the Middle East between nations that will soon make up the 10 toes of Daniel 2, and the 10 horns of Daniel 7. The healing was a pattern of military unity between Syria, Iraq, and Iran that was rearing its ugly head. We began this first update by stating: “The beginnings of a pattern

of military unity between Syria, Iran, and Iraq are now immerging in the Middle East. Iraq has recently conducted large-scale military maneuvers on the Syrian border, reportedly by prior agreement with its new President, Bashar Assad. Bashar then made a trip to Iran to hold talks with its President, Mohammad Khatami. The talks were described as a strategic dialogue.”

This healing process is taking time because of past conflicts that have occurred between these three nations, but it progressing because of a common healing balm – Their natural hatred for Israel, which far exceeds their dislike for each other. The great breaches between them occurred in the last decade. Iraq and Iran fought a bitter war that took the lives of millions. In previous updates we have told how recent prisoner exchanges from that war have softened the bitterness between them.

The relations between Iraq and Syria, which are ruled by two rival wings of the Baath party, were severed in the eighties, but have been on the mend since 1997, fueled mainly by trade links.

We have covered these trade links in detail in previous updates, as well as the sneaky way that Syria is militarily assisting Iraq and receiving oil benefits in return. So, as much as Syria and Iran do not like, or trust, Saddam Hussain, any attack against Israel must include Iraq in order to succeed. This is one of the reasons that Bashar, last month, sent a message to Saddam on the 34th anniversary of his rival Baath party rising to power in Baghdad. In the message he underlined his desire to boost the brotherly ties between Iraq and Syria.

An independent Jordanian newspaper, Al-Hilal, reported that last week Syrian President Bashar al-Assad met with Iraqi’s Saddam Hussain on the border between the two countries. The article said Assad took his brother, Maher, and the head of the Syrian Intelligence Service with him to the meeting. During the meeting the report stated that Saddam presented Assad with an ancient rifle taken from the Iraqi museum.

Whatever happens to Saddam Hussain is important, but what is most important in the minds of all the Islamic leaders is this – Their own survival and their need for one another in their quest to drive Israel into the sea. Leaders in the Middle East are, of course, important in immediate directions taken in their foreign policy, but any leader in the Middle East is always at high risk of being assassinated at any time. Leaders come and go, but the countries remain, and the countries of Syria, Iran, and Iraq will link together to fight their common enemy, Israel.

The coming 10 horned, 10 toed, union symbolized by the feet of a great statue, and 10 horns on a great beast will be made up of a coalition of Abraham’s descendants, which came not from the promised seed Isaac, but from the intermingled seed of the 12 sons of Ishmael and the 6 sons of Keturah. They have not, and will not, ever mix together into a permanent bond. However, when God puts in their hearts to do so, they will, for some 3 and ½ years, temporarily bond together to fulfill his prophecies concerning them.

Some of the 10 nations, like Syria and Iran, will be strong like iron, and some of them, like Morocco and Tunisia, will be weak like clay. They will bond together in a Jihad against Israel and will initially be successful in driving the woman Israel into the Negev, but in the end they will suffer a smashing defeat by the returning Lamb of God at the Second Advent with all his saints.

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.

Daniel 2:41-43 – 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.

Revelation 17:17 – For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Revelation 17:12-14 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful

Building a Protective Bond of Trade for Safety

During the past two years, Iran’s President Khatami has hotfooted it from one European Union country to another (there are 15), either to set up or ink trade agreements with them individually. Foreign ministers of many different Iranian offices have been hopping like Texas jackrabbits across the EU, Russia, China, and Far Eastern countries, either setting up or inking trade agreements. Khatami has visited most of the major capitol cities across Europe, Eurasia, and Asia. Never, in the history of Iran, has there been such a drive and clamor for increasing foreign trade and foreign investment in Iran. Also, in the Middle East, Khatami has, with the exception of Iraq, blazed a trail among the Islamic countries seeking, and obtaining, trade agreements. Never has such a vast seeking of trade flow been sought with Iran’s Islamic brothers, as is now being seen vividly across the Middle East and North Africa. And, while Iran is certainly setting the pace in foreign trade and investments with

the non-western block of nations, Syria and Iraq could hardly be called sluggish in the arena of developing Old World nations trade, while encouraging many active areas of project developments between each other.

The Islamic nations, as a whole, are all following the same pattern of developing Old World trade, but Iran, Syria, and Iraq are setting the pace. So, why all this accelerating effort to develop an infrastructure of non-western trade in their respective countries?

1. It ties their respective stars to the only credible force standing against the New World United States, namely, the Old World European Union of 15 nations, the former satellite nations of the old Soviet Union, Russia, and China.

2. With investments from the Old World nations implanted in them, it makes it less likely that the United States will attack them.

3. As their trade agreements develop, their profits can be used to develop nuclear, chemical, and biological weaponry, and the high tech missiles to carry them long distances.

There is, and will continue to be, a growing bond between the Islamic nations, the European Union, the former Soviet satellites, Russia, China, and Africa. When the future Islamic attack comes against Israel from the north, and Israel is driven into the Negev wilderness from Beersheva southward, these new Arab trading partners will not participate in the initial attack. However, after Israel has been trapped in the Negev for some 1260 days, then the call will be issued to them to come and assist Islam in forever eliminating the “Jewish problem.” And all their trading partners will send armies to Israel for that purpose. It will be the most massive army every assembled in the history of the world. It will stretch from Haifa harbor southeastward past the Tel of Armageddon through the plains of Esdraelon and Jezreel, from Mount Hermon southward down the Jordan Valley to the end of the Dead Sea, and across the valleys of Galilee, Samaria, and Judah. The Antichrist will set in his “appeden” on the Temple Mount, surrounded by this vast conglomeration of human flesh, but when he gives the order to unleash this great force, he will be signing his own warrant of destruction, and no one on this planet will be able to help him. Why? Because, at this time, God will send upon him and his massive army the greatest geological upheaval experienced since Adam’s creation, and His Son will return to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

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.

Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (See Prophecy Update Number 75 in our Archives for a full exposition of these verses)

Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Revelation 16:16-19 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

[17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Zechariah 14:4 – And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Revelation 19:16-21 – And he hath on his vesture and

on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] 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.

How Will the New Iraq Fit in the Prophetic Pattern?

I have had several queries as to how I thought the new Iraqi would fit into future Middle East prophetic events. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to see a new regime coming into Iraq. In Prophecy Update 80A, August 11, 2002, titled, “Saddam Hussein – Middle East Wild Card,” I outlined my frustration as to his unpredictability, and the rest of the title, “Why the U.S. is Determined to Replace Him!,” has now borne fruit. In Prophecy Update Number 80B, August 12, titled, “Another Iraqi Attack Indicator?,” I showed something the U.S. was doing in Israel that was a prelude to the eventual attack against Iraqi.

In reality, the new Iraqi regime will eventually develop a much better relationship with Iran and Syria than Saddam. But make no mistake, the Islamic mindset of the new regime may outwardly seem to be amenable toward Israel, but eventually they must regress to their inward true Arab desire to see Israel driven into the sea. In Prophecy Update 81A, I first discussed a border meeting between Saddam and Bashar Assad, the Syrian President.

I have a sneaky suspicion the meeting involved the concealment of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction under the border zone between Syria and Iraq. Update 81A, dated August 17, 2002, and titled “More ‘Strategic Dialogue’ Among the 10 Toes,” may be read in our Prophecy Archives at the top of this page. It gives the insight as to how the new regime will eventually be linked into the final 10 toes of the great statue of Nebuchadnezzar in the second chapter of Daniel.

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 w

ith 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

U.S. Troops to Leave Iraq by Year’s End, Obama Says

By MARK LANDLER

October 21, 2011

WASHINGTON — President Obama announced on Friday that the last American soldier would leave Iraq by the end of this year, drawing to a close a divisive eight-year war that cost the lives of more than 4,400 troops, defined the presidency of George W. Bush, and helped ignite his own political rise.

The decision leaves only a vestigial presence of Marine embassy guards and liaison officers staying on where more than a million troops, in all, have served.

The president’s statement, coming a day after a NATO air campaign hastened the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya, was laden with symbolism, marking the ebb tide of a decade of American military engagement that began after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It also capped a remarkable period of foreign-policy accomplishments for a president who is hindered by a poor economy at home.

For Mr. Obama, whose rise to the White House was based partly on his opposition to the Iraq war but who as president ordered a troop buildup in Afghanistan and intensified drone strikes against militants in the region, the announcement fulfills a campaign promise.

Its timing, after Colonel Qaddafi’s death and the commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and just as the administration was taking its toughest stance yet on Pakistan’s reluctance to root out militants along its border with Afghanistan, may help insulate him from Republican charges that he is weak on national security.

“Today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year,” the president said in a midday appearance at

the White House. Anticipating what he called “another season of homecomings,” he declared, “Our troops will definitely be home for the holidays.”

The complete withdrawal, which his political critics decried and his military team had worked hard to avert, was propelled by an irreconcilable dispute between the United States and Iraq over the legal immunity of a small force of military trainers that the Pentagon had planned to leave in the country. Though the president left open the possibility that trainers might still advise Iraqi troops, military officials said the chance of putting any significant American force there was slim.

Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, among others, scorned Mr. Obama for putting the sacrifices of American troops at risk and questioned whether the president had been motivated by “naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government.”

Mr. Obama gave word of the decision to Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who faces rough political crosswinds of his own over the timing of the departure, in a video conference call. Mr. Obama’s aides described the call as “poignant,” with the Iraqi leader expressing thanks for the sacrifices of American soldiers.

As of Jan. 1, 2012, Mr. Obama said, the two countries will begin “a normal relationship between sovereign nations, an equal partnership based on mutual interest and mutual respect.”

The agreement to leave Iraq this year dates from late 2008, when Mr. Bush, before leaving office, made a farewell visit to Baghdad that was disrupted when an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at him and denounced him as a “dog.” American military officials had wanted a “residual” force of as many as tens of thousands of soldiers to remain past 2011 as an insurance policy against future violence.

Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt contributed reporting from Washington, Michael S.

Schmidt from Baghdad, and Elisabeth Bumiller en route to Indonesia.

Hezbollah chief says that if another war breaks out with Israel, he’ll start attack on the Center, not the north of the country; admits information passed by members to CIA and Mossad hurt organization.

Should Israel enter into another war with Lebanon, Hezbollah will start by attacking Tel Aviv and not north of the country, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah threatened on Friday, according to Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar.

The Hezbollah strongman also addressed recent reports of foreign agents operating within the Lebanese terror organization.

In a meeting with Hezbollah leaders, Nasrallah admitted that information passed to the CIA and Mossad by three of Hezbollah’s members hurt the organization.

However, Hezbollah will be able to recover from the incident, he asserted, saying that the organization has the courage necessary to fix mistakes.

A month ago Hezbollah detained four of its own members on charges of spying for Israel while a fifth fled, the London-based daily Asharq Alawsat reported.

Quoting “well-informed Lebanese sources,” the paper said the fifth operative had gone missing amid suspicions he too had collaborated with Israel. The operative, named only as M.S., disappeared from his home in southern Beirut last week. Little is known about him other than that he is said to have testified in the UN Special Tribunal on the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.

Gaddafi’s killing fuels protests in Syria; 13 killed

Banners in in Homs warn ophthalmologist turned president, Assad: “Doctor, you are next”; most of killings take place in Homs, Hama.

AMMAN – The killing of Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi fuelled demonstrations across Syria after Friday prayers that called for the ouster of President Bashar Assad, braving a heavier than normal security presence, activists and residents said.

Initial reports from activists said at least 13 protesters had been killed by live ammunition fired by security forces trying to disperse demonstrations.

Arab League stops short of suspending Syria, urges dialogue

Homs, the city of one million has been scene of extensive military operations to suppress regular protests and a nascent armed insurgency that has emerged after a relentless crackdown on persistent demonstrations calling for more political freedoms.

Gaddafi is finished. It is your turn now Bashar!” shouted demonstrators in the town of Maaret al-Numaan in the northwestern province of Idlib, according to one witness.

“Prepare yourself Assad!” chanted protesters in the town of Tayyana in the tribal province of Deir al-Zor, on the border with Iraq’s Sunni Muslim heartland.

Assad, an ophthalmologist who inherited power from his late father in 2000, strengthened ties with Gaddafi months before the Arab Spring wave of popular unrest against repressive ruling elites erupted in Tunisia in December.

The two countries struck a series of cooperation deals and Assad later allowing a Syrian-based satellite station to broadcast messages from Gaddafi while he was on the run.

He was killed in unclear circumstances after his capture on Thursday.

In the town of Houla northwest of Homs, a crowd of several thousands held shoulders and waved old Syrian flags dating to before Assad’s Baath party took power in a coup 48 years ago.

“Doctor, you are next!” read banners carried by the villagers, according to live video footage.

Demonstrations also broke out in Homs, the provincial capital 140 km (85 miles) north of Damascus, where three members of same family were also shot dead at an army road block in Bab Sbaa district on their way to prayers, local activists said.

Syrian authorities say they are fighting “armed terrorist groups” in Homs who have been killing civilians, prominent figures and troops. The authorities have banned most foreign media, making verification of events on the ground difficult.

Begin Excerpt 3 from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

Three Syrian generals disappear. Minority regions braced for civil war

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

October 17, 2011, 5:42 PM (GMT+02:00)

Three generals, members of the Syrian General Command, disappeared in Damascus this week, one a senior intelligence officer, DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources report. The Assad regime has drawn a heavy curtain of secrecy over the affair. However, our sources learn that the body of one of the generals turned up riddled with bullets at the military hospital in Damascus.

Our sources explain the disappearances either by the high officers’ defection in disgust at President Bashar Assad’s savage methods for crushing revolt. This would signal the break-up of the high army command; or a purge of his high command by Assad who, certain of victory, is getting rid of generals of doubtful loyalty; or thirdly, one of them at least was killed by rebels.

Since early September, the opposition has re-focused their campaign of liquidations against top regime figures from the northern Homs area to the capital.

The Syrian conflict is now dominated by four features:

1. The dwindling of the mass demonstrations plaguing the Assad regime for seven months since March 15 in the face of the army’s ruthless onslaught by tanks and guns. This does not mean that the contest is over or that the Syrian ruler has come out of it with the upper hand.

2. Anti-Assad forces are instead marshalling in the northwestern triangle between Hama, Homs and Idlib in bands of well-armed guerilla fighters, often led by defecting soldiers or officers, for attacking individual army officers and small units.

3. Two of Syria’s most important minorities, the Alawites and the Druzes, fear that this form of warfare will lead inexorably to widespread civil war.

They are preparing themselves for the worst by barricading their villages and towns against interlopers and organizing armed militias to keep them out.

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report that although the ruling Assad political and military elite are drawn from the Alawite sect, its 3. 5 million members are ready for trouble and guarding their Al-Alawiyeen Mountains domain which runs 32 kilometers down the northwestern shore up to and including the port town of Latakia.

The Alawites are not getting their arms from their coreligionists in government. Each individual chooses and pays for weapons from the contraband smuggled into Syria from Lebanon and Jordan. They are rigorously keeping trespassers out of their mountain region and Latakia, which they consider their capital. In this town of 850,000 dwellers, the Sunni districts are separated by roadblocks, barricades and gun emplacements.

The 2.1 million Druzes have divided Djebel Druze in southern Syria into sectors.

Militiamen stands guard at their barricaded entry-points to keep strangers out.

4. The Assad regime is going broke, ruined by the seven-month uprising. It can barely find the money to buy food and other essential commodities for keeping the economy and the military going or even pay salaries to government personnel.
According to a recent report, the economic damage suffered by six “Arab spring” nations totals $56 billion. Syria is described as incurring the worst losses of them all to its GDP and public finances, totaling $27.3 billion.

Our Iranian sources disclose that since Syrian banks were frozen out of European banks by European Union sanctions, the Assad regime has been forced to start borrowing from

Iranian banks. But it is hard to tell for how long the banks in Tehran will be willing to risk extending credit to bail out Bashar Assad.

No Security Fence in Israel or Anywhere Else – Part 3

October 21, 2011

A CONTINUING SERIES – I completed the exposition from Zechariah 2:5 through 2:7 in Parts 1 & 2 of my first 2 Blogs on October 6 & 7. The 2 Blogs may be read by scanning back on our archive Blogs which extend back to 2005 on our Web Site at:

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Israel will not need a wall to protect her after Jesus comes at his Second Advent for he will be unto her as a protective wall of fire round about her, and the glory of God in the midst of her, ruling the world on his Temple Throne from Jerusalem – ZECHARIAH 2:5 – For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her – 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.

JESUS WILL RETURN WITH THE SAVED AT 2ND ADVENT AND ALL JEWS WILL RETURN HOME, WHERE JESUS WILL RULE OVER ALL NATIONS!

ZECHARIAH 2:8,9 – 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. [9] For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT THE LORD OF HOSTS HATH SENT ME .

Ezekiel 39:4-8 – Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

[5] Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. [6] And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.

[7] So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

[8] Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; THIS IS THE DAY WHEREOF I HAVE SPOKEN.

MANY WILL BE SAVED BETWEEN THE 6TH SEAL AND 7TH TRUMPET

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;

Acts 2:20,21 – 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.

Revelation 10:7 – But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

I Corinthians 15:51 – Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

THIS IS THE CATCHING OUT OF THE SAVED ON TRUMP 7 BY CHRIST

Revelation 14:15,16 – And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Revelation 11:15 – 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.

THIS IS THE JUDGMENT OF THE SAVED IN HEAVEN BETWEEN TRUMP 7 AND VIAL 6 WHILE THOSE NOT CAUGHT UP ARE JUDGED ON EARTH.

Revelation 11:18 – And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF JUDGMENT OF GOD’S WRATH ON THOSE LEFT BEHIND AT TRUMP 7 THAT CONTINUES THROUGH WRATH VIAL 7.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour

out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Revelation 14:17-20 – And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. [19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

THIS IS WHEN THE LORD RETURNS WITH THE SAVED AT THE END OF ARMAGEDDON AS GOD’S VIAL 7 IS ENDING THE GENTILE AGE.

Revelation 19:16-21 – And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] 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.

THIS IS WHEN THE LORD RULES OVER THE EARTH AFTER HIS RETURN

ZECHARIAH 2:10 – Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

Isaiah 54:1-8 – Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of

the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. [2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; [3] For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

[4] Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. [5] For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

[6] For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. [7] For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

[8] In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Zechariah 14:16 – And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Revelation 3:20-22 – Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open t

he door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

A Veil of their Own choice will be Prophetically lifted from Israeli Eyes!

A ministration of death will be lifted on Jews in the Negev Wilderness.

The Law of Moses is a ministration of condemnation to death on Man.

The Life of God in Christ Jesus was More Glorious in Keeping the Law.

When we turn to Christ the Veil of the condemnation of Law is Lifted,

And we’re set free from the condemnation of being unable to keep It.

I Know I’ve been Eternally Saved Because I Believe He Kept it for Me.

The Veil of the Law will be Lifted over Israel in the Negev Wilderness,

And Israel Shall Discover The Liberty In Messiah As a Grateful Nation,

And All the Animal Sacrifices in the Millennial Temple Will be Memorial,

Christ Fulfilled Every Jot and Tittle of the Law for All Believing IN Him!

October 19, 2011

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The large Negev Israeli remnant will have their veil of unbelief lifted as they believe the testimony of the two witnesses and the 144,000, and are removed from under the condemnation of God.

John 3:18 – He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Luke 16:16,17 – The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. [17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

James 2:10 – For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

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.

Jesus kept it perfectly during his life and finished it on the Cross.

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.

II Corinthians 3:7 – But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

Romans 2:25,26 – For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. [26] Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

II Corinthians 3:2-18 – Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: [3] Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. [4] And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: [5] Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; [6] Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. [7] But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: [8] How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? [9] For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. [10] For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

[11] For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. [12] Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: [14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

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

Galatians 3:24-26 – Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

[25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

John 13:33-35 – Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. [34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Matthew 28:20 – Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

So if a believer is eternally saved when he puts his faith in the man Christ who kept God’s Law of Moses, what happens to his reward position in heaven if he makes no attempt to keep the commandments of Christ, who is God

?

Matthew 5:19 – Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The religious Pharisees and scribes had zero righteousness of God imputed to them by belief in his Son as Messiah. But I have the eternal righteousness of God imputed to me by his grace, which certainly exceeds zero.

Romans 4:6-8 – Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, [7] Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. [8] Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Teachers of the Law of Moses turned them in to an unbelievable meticulous maze of confusion by adding

to them a traditional nit-picking set of requirements. This is true today in many of the additions made by teachers of the Law to the Feast of the Tabernacles.

Matthew 23:23-39 – Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. [24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. [25] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. [26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. [27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. [28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, [30] And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. [31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. [32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. [33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? [34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: [35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. [37] 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. [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.

Ephesians 2:8-10 – For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Revelation 22:14 – Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Begin Excerpt from YNet News

From s’chach to etrog: Sukkot laws

What can one eat outside sukkah? Who holds Four Species

? Can one travel to a place where there is no sukkah during holiday? Rabbi Shmuel Shapira answers all your questions

Rabbi Shmuel Shapira

Published: 10.12.11, 13:02 / Israel Jewish Scene

What are the conditions for a kosher sukkah?
First of all, the sukkah must have four strong and steady walls. In case of swinging straps, stretch branches or threads less than 24 centimeters (9.5 inches) apart, up to 80-centimeters (31.5-inches) high (about four-five threads).

Can s’cach be placed on wooden pergola?

The sukkah must be covered with a kosher s’cach, which should be placed on wood, not on the metal structure. Several branches should be placed above the s’cach to prevent it from flying with the wind. One must not place a roof or tree underneath.

The s’cach may be placed above a wooden pergola, as long as the gaps between the rails are bigger than the width of the rails (in other words, so that most of the net won’t be shaded).

When part of the sukkah has a roof over it – one must inquire in which cases it is kosher. In any event, men must not sit under the roof.

How does one observe mitzvah of sitting in sukkah?
On the first night, one must eat in the sukkah and say the blessing on all major meals. Ashkenazim say the blessing on cakes and wine as well. Drinking soft drinks and eating fruit and vegetables does not require sitting in the sukkah. Sleeping in the sukkah is a mitzvah, even temporary sleep.

Can one travel to place without a sukkah?

Travelers are exempt of the sukkah obligation. Some say the exemption is for necessary trips, not excursions, so one would be advised to plan one’s trips to a place with a sukkah. A sukkah can be built on the intermediary days of the holiday if necessary. It can also be built on a vehicle, and today there are sukkot which can be dismantled and are easy to carry from place to place and assemble.

What are the principles for kashrut of Four Species?

Lulav (palm frond): Must be at least 32-centimeters (12.5-inches) long, straight with closed leaves and not bent or broken at the top.

Etrog (citron): Not complicated. Must be smooth (without holes), without spots and not black. The cleaner and flawless it is, especially at the top – the more elegant.

Hadass (myrtle branch): Take three branches, measuring at least 24 centimeters (9.5 inches). Most leaves must be triangle (in other words, three leaves departing from one point).

Aravah (willow branch): Two branches, each measuring 24 centimeters (9.5 inches). Must not be withered, especially not during the last days of the holiday. If withered – replace them with fresh and damp branches.

How does one observe Four Species mitzvah

?

Take the Three Species (the lulav, hadass and aravah) and bind them together. The holder they are placed in is considered one binding, and the bundle may be bound with strips from another lulav. Sephardim decorate the lulav with threads and other bindings not woven from palm fronds.

The waving is done standing up, with the lulav in the right hand and the etrog in the left hand, facing downward. After the prayer is said, the etrog is turned over. Women are exempt, but usually hold the lulav, and Ashkenazi women also say the prayer.

Waving the lulav: It is waved after the blessing, and the recital of Hallel. There are several waving customs – the Ashkenazi and Sephardic versions: East, south, west, north, up and down. Three times in each direction.

THAT FOLLOWS 5 QUOTES FROM DR. ORVILLE JENKINS:

October 18, 2011

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Begin Excerpts from “Nation” & “People” in Hebrew and Greek

By Dr. Orville Boyd Jenkins

“I was aware that the Greek New Testament commonly uses the Greek word ethnos for the general references to ethnic groups.”

“The Koine writers of the New Testament use this Greek term ethnos with the same meaning with which LXX uses ethnos representing the Hebrew goi.

It is used with the same basic meaning that underlies our modern English words ethnic and ethnicity”

It seems in general the LXX usages in Greek were

the prevailing usage pattern in 1st century Judaism and the early Christians. Ethnos becomes the standard term in Greek usage for a basic ethnic entity.

In the New Testament, the word ethnos becomes the primary word referring to ethnic groups, such as Acts 17:26, “God made from one source all nations [ethne] of men.” The word phule is used in more specific references, similar to its usages in the Old Testament.

End Excerpts from “Nation” & “People” in Hebrew and Greek

Matthew 24:7,8 – For NATIONS (ETHNOS) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I have already stated what this verse means in my discourse on the Olivet Discourse given by Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and I have not changed my mind, but I do believe there will be increasing ethnic class warfare in America and across the globe before war breaks out in the Middle East.

When the Middle East war begins, I believe many individuals in the many ETHNIC groups among the NATIONS, will seek the Lord.

Acts 17:22-27 – Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. [23] For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. [24] God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; [25] Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; [26] And hath made of one blood all NATIONS (ETHNOS) of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; [27] That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Individuals will be saved from the many ETHNIC groups in the many NATIONS during the Tribulation Period until the Seventh Trumpet Sounds, and will be taken to heaven, where they will be judged at Christ’s Judgment Seat for rewards while the wrath of God is poured on the Earth.

Revelation 10:7 – But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 11:15,18 – 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. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

The saved will return with him at his Second Advent and live on this earth for 1000 years in glorified bodies, serving him throughout his reign over a population made up of child producing men and women,. After the 1000 years the Devil will return to the surface of the earth from his imprisonment in the bottomless pit interior of the earth. The physical occupants of the earth will follow him to utter destruction and will be separated from the saved for all eternity.

A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE NEXT 2 SCRIPTURES JUSTIFIES MY BELIEF THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SAVED UP TO THE 7TH TRUMP

Luke 21:11 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

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.

THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE JUSTIFIES THE SAVED WILL BE JUDGED IN HEAVEN DURING THE VIALS OF WRATH.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

I DON’T THINK GOD WILL WITHDRAW HIS MERCY FROM MAN PRIOR TO HIS WRATH! H IS LONGSUFFERING

IS ASTOUNDING. AND IT SHALL CONTINUE AT HIS 2ND ADVENT WHEN A JEWISH REMNANT WILL BE SAVED AS A NATION IN THE NEGEV WILDERNESS.

Hebrews 11:6 – But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

II Peter 3:9,15 – The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is LONGSUFFERING TO US-WARD, NOT WILLING that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [15] And account that THE LONGSUFFERING OF OUR LORD IS SALVATION: even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

I Timothy 1:14-16 – And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

[15] This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. [16] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that IN ME FIRST JESUS CHRIST MIGHT SHEW FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING, for a pattern to them which should HEREAFTER believe on him to life everlasting.
