Israel Thursday night, March 15, gave Egypt and Hamas two days to halt the five-day missile offensive from Gaza or expect IDF action against the shooters. debkafile reports that the missile operation has been taken over by a small group of Salafi Palestinians linked to al Qaeda. And Hamas leader Mahmoud A-Zahar is currently visiting Tehran and being urged by his Iranian hosts to block a ceasefire so as draw the Israeli military into a messy showdown with the Salafis.

Iran and Russia both won ground on the Syrian battlefield at America’s expense with this week’s Assad victory over rebels in Idlib, say DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s strategic analysts in its next issue out Friday. The indecisive way the Israeli confrontation with Iran’s Palestinian proxy Jihad Islami wound down also added points to Tehran – and Moscow less directly – after Washington backed away from the Gaza episode and Israel threw in the sponge. These players were testing the ground for a possible Israeli-Iranian clash.

Tehran is capitalizing on its allies’ two perceived victories: Bashar Assad’s success in seizing Idlib from rebel hands and the Palestinian Jihad Islami’s triumphal missile assault from Gaza on southern Israel. The Iranians are moving forward with plans to match that assault with a Hizballah offensive on northern Israel from Lebanon. This was the object of a rendezvous opposite Metulah Wednesday, March 14, between a high-ranking Iranian delegation headed by Ahmadinejad’s spokesman Ali Akbar Javanfekr and Hizballah intelligence officers.
Israel develops its own bunker buster
DEBKAfile Special Report
March 13, 2012, 9:40 PM (GMT+02:00)
Israel has developed an improved precision, bunker-burrowing weapon which Israeli Military Industries (IMI) unveiled on March 6 at peak US-Israel friction over a strike against Iran. The 500-pound MPR-500 is an electro-optical bomb that can penetrate double-reinforced concrete walls or floors without breaking apart. “The lethality, precision… and relatively low weight of the new weapon,” say its manufacturers, “enable its use against multiple targets in a single pass.” The MPR-500 bridges a gap between the US 250-pound US GBU-39 and the 5,000-pound GBU-28 super-bunker buster.
EVENTS SEQUENCE FROM 7TH TRUMPET RAPTURE TO 2ND ADVENT
When Michael (Archangel and Prince of Israel) stands up, the 7th Trumpet will sound, and the Rapture of all the saved will occur before the 7 Vials of God’s Wrath. At that time the remains of Daniel and Isaiah will stand up in their lots, and ascend in glorified bodies into heaven with all the saved, where all the saved will be judged for works by their Savior. All the saved will return to earth
in their heavenly attire after the 7 Vials of God’s Wrath are poured out on earth. During the vials God will preserve a remnant of Jews in the flesh in protective chambers from His Wrath in the Negev Wilderness, and will bring them through it into the Millennium. They will believe what the two witnesses and the 144,000 Sealed Jews testified to them before leaving them behind on the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. Their belief of this previous testimony of the Gospel will result in their salvation during the Vials of Wrath. They will enter the Millennium with saved souls and carnal natures (the same state in which I now exist). The Mystery of Paul and John will be finished on the sounding of the 7th Trumpet.
I Corinthians 15:51 – Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
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 – 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.
Daniel 12:13 – But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Daniel 11:45 to 12:3 – 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.
Daniel 12:1-3 –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. [2] And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. [3] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Revelation 10:5-7 – And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [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.
Isaiah 26:19 to 27:1 – Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. [20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. [1] In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
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.
Zechariah 14:3-6 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [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. [5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. [6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
Revelation 16:16-21 – 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. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
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.
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.

U.S. – Welcome to the New Oil World!
Oil has replaced Dollars as Main Mammon
It drives the machines of what all nations Love
Controlling mankind by force of National Interest
Which politicians know is providing them Mammon
Elector voting decision is based on most false Promises
The article from Arutz Sheva on the growing takeover of American corporations involved in mammon distribution is no surprise to me. In the word’s of the unknown comic on the Gong Show, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”
As a synoptic analyst, trained to put the pieces of a puzzle together, from which future decisions can be made, it was apparent to me more than 32 years ago what we now see in the Middle East would eventually happen. In my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” written in 1976, I wrote the following:
BEGIN QUOTE
“[Oil is slowly replacing the dollar in international importance – and soon ten Arab nations will have gained economic control of much of the earth’s wealth. We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – and the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Red China. The world power block will block itself as the ten Arab nations prosper in their midst.]”
END QUOTE
This had to happen in order to dampen the influence of the United States in the Middle East, and to turn national interests toward its own internal domestic welfare. The politicians of this generation are not elected on morality, patriotism, or religion, but on who can be the most charming, plus make promises that prosperity will abound and we will not be involved in war – “and the people love to have it so.”
Jeremiah 5:29-31 – Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? [30] A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

Dinars for Dollars: Arabs Buying Out Collapsing Western Banks
15 Tammuz 5768, 18 July 08 07:40
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) First it was Citibank. Now it’s Barclay’s and New York City’s Chrysler Building skyscraper. Muslim Arabs are buying out collapsing Western banks and businesses and gaining growing international power, but some Arab investors are worried their investments may go down the drain with the American economy.
The current financial crisis in the United States has spread to other countries because of a massive debt that was not backed by enough real and liquid collateral. Banks and businesses gasping for financial breath are up for sale at basement prices, but no one is certain if the basement is the bottom.
“The possibility remains that more Arab white knights will be sought to rescue ailing financial institutions,” wrote Dr. Mohammed Ramady, a former banker and Visiting Associate Professor at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in the Financial Adviser magazine. He said he fears that Arab investors will end up chasing their investments with more money to keep them from going under.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Council of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates kingdom of Abu Dhabi last November announced it was bailing out the mammoth Citibank financial institution, formerly headed by Bank of Israel Governor Prof. Stanley Fischer, with $7.5 billion.
Next in line was Britain’s Barclay’s Bank, which raised $9 billion from investors in the oil-rich kingdom of Qatar and in Asian countries. The Abu Dhabi Investment Council last month forked out approximately $800 million for a 75 percent stake in New York City’s 1,046-foot-tall Chrysler Building, which was the world’s tallest building for a year until the Empire State Building surpassed it in the 1930’s.
The purchase of American banks by foreigners has been blocked in the past by security and political considerations, but the barriers have come down, wrote Dr. Ramady. “How long this lasts is only a matter of guesswork, as once again, the specter of foreign takeovers of ‘national’ symbols will be hard to accept,” he added.
The latest American symbol to go down the drain is the Anheuser-Busch beer brewer. The Times of London wrote, “The weak dollar and weak economy mean the United States is up for sale. Japs are conquering the car industry. Arabs just bought part of the Chrysler Building. Jeez, they even tried to buy the ports a while back. Whatever next? A hijab on the Statue of Liberty?”
In a more serious vein, The Australian editor-at-large Paul Kelly wrote earlier this month that the foreign investments, headed by Arabs, signal a major change in international power.
“The energy, financial and political woes that grip the U.S. signal a decisive shift in world power, mocking the liberal delusion that Barack Obama or John McCain can return American prestige and power to its pre-Bush year 2000 nirvana,” he wrote. “There is no such nirvana. There is instead a new reality: the greatest transfer of income in human history [and] the rise of a new breed of wealthy autocracies that cripple U.S. hopes of dominating the global system and demands on the U.S. to make fresh compromises in a world where power is rapidly being diversified.”
Flynt Leverett, former director of Middle East Affairs on the National Security Council, thinks that “the international economic position of the United States has deteriorated substantially since the new millennium.”
In the current issue of The American Interest, Gal Luft, from the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, warned that OPEC’s Arab countries could potentially “buy the Bank of America with two months’ worth of production and General Motors with six days’ worth.”
The growing Arab takeover of American businesses continues unhindered. The giant Dow Chemical company and a Kuwaiti company have agreed to set up world headquarters for their joint petrochemical venture in Dearborn, Michigan, which has a high concentration of American Arabs.
The Abu Dubai Investment Council years ago entered the international media business, buying a nine percent stake in Reuters News Agency, which usually reports with an open anti-Israeli bias.
However, Abu Dhabi’s’ director of international affairs, Yousef al Otaiba, has reassured American officials that its purchase of Citibank will not be used to exert political pressure on the U.S. He wrote the Treasury Department, “It is important to be absolutely clear that the Abu Dhabi government has never and will never use its investment organizations or individual investments as a foreign policy tool.”

Middle East Diplomacy is nothing more than Ultimate Deceit!
December 27, 2006
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
Genesis 3:7,8 – And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. [8] And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
When both Adam and Eve sinned they initiated the first act of the art of diplomacy – They tried to cover up the truth with human diplomacy, and then to hide the truth from the originator and keeper of truth.
Romans 3:4 – God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Unfortunately, international diplomacy, as it is practiced today, has more of the Devil then God in it.
John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Armageddon is where all of man’s diplomacy will culminate as the product of man’s wisdom in the not too distant future.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The Christ of truth will return to end Armageddon and begin a new era of peace for a thousand years, where all diplomacy will be based upon him and his truth. The son of Man is God’s Sun of Righteousness, who will judge mankind at Armageddon, then heal the mess that man’s diplomacy has made since Adam.
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.
Jesus the King will establish diplomacy of truth for all mankind.
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.
This is what God’s diplomacy will establish from the mountain of his government in Israel among the mountain governments of the Millennial world.
Isaiah 2:1-5 – The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [5] O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
The three articles from YNet News, which follow, were extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. They are terrific articles, and the writers describe quite accurately the motivations of deceit behind the diplomatic negotiation currently under way in the Middle East. The smoke and mirrors of both international and local diplomacy have hidden or reflected any hope of a peace based on truth.
Syria Talks Would Legitimize Damascus Internationally
Dore Gold
According to Israel’s experience with Egypt, a stable agreement is ensured first and foremost by securing quiet between Israel and its neighbors as a precondition to substantive talks. At the time, Cairo was not home to terror organizations’ headquarters, and terrorists did not cross the border in order to carry out attacks. Today, too, Israel must ensure that Syria first dismantles terror groups and training camps in its territory, thus proving both to Israel and the U.S. that it is serious in its desire to reach peace.
What does Israel have to lose should it engage in talks with Syria in order to test the seriousness of its intentions? Photos from the negotiations would be used as a “kosher certificate” for Damascus in the eyes of the international community, at a time when Washington is making an effort to create a coalition that would press Syria to change its conduct towards Iraq, Lebanon, and the Palestinians.

Syria Hallucinations: Assad Won’t Be Disengaging from Iran or Hizballah
Zalman Shoval
As the chief of the Mossad made clear, Syria is not looking for peace with Israel, but rather the preservation of a limited state of war that allows the Alawite minority in Damascus to justify its continued dictatorship. Shiite Iran serves as an “insurance policy” for the Alawite regime against its internal and external enemies. Iran has replaced the Soviet Union, which played this role for Syria in the past. Moreover, can anyone imagine that Syria would accept the demand to end its support for Hizballah when the organization is the main tool used to advance Syria’s plans in Lebanon
?

Prime Minister’s Office: No Negotiations with Syria as Long as It Supports Terror
Ronny Sofer (Ynet News)
“There will be no negotiations, as long as Syria continues to support terror and to be involved in the axis of evil,” a senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office clarified Tuesday.
“Syria in its deeds and in Assad’s deeds proves that it stands behind Damascus’ four crimes:
(1) Arms smuggling to Hizballah in Lebanon while violating UN Resolution 1701;
(2) Sheltering [Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal and the terror organizations in the Syrian capital in a bid to thwart any move for peace and release [kidnapped IDF soldier] Gilad Shalit on the Palestinian route;
(3) Increasingly close connections with Tehran, which calls for Israel’s destruction;
(4) Active involvement in terror attacks carried out in Iraq against the Americans.
