An Islamic Antichrist in My 1976 Book ‘Tectonic Chaos’ has finally taken Root

I’ve consistently maintained this Prophetic Position for Some Thirty-Six Years!

July 26, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I took a lot of flack from the majority of prophetic buffs in the last century for making the 10 horns Islamic led by an Islamic Antichrist. More than 90 percent of the prophecy teachers and books in 1976 brought the 10 horns out of the European Union led by the European Antichrist. Many have now adapted the idea of an Islamic Antichrist since 1976.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).

Begin 1976 Quote from “Tectonic Chaos” Book

The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are ten Arab nations who will form the nucleus of the final kingdom, and the ten crowns are the power of the kings that will rile them. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as a scrawny little fellow on a camel in the desert with a comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing. Oil is replacing the U.S. 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 Arab nations prosper in our midst.

The period of “Peace and safety” will be a 3 & ½ prophetic year “hudna” between Islam and Israel after Islam has driven Israel into the Negev Wilderness. The “hudna” will be broken at the end of that period by the Islamic Antichrist and the final battle of that brief war will be the battle of Armageddon. (See Archive Prophecy Update Number 321.

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

“While in China, Mr Putin will also attend a regional security summit on Thursday.”

First, the final war of the Age of the Gentiles begins between Islam and Israel. Islam drives Israel into the Negev Wilderness in a conventional war under a nuclear umbrella by the East and the West. A truce (Hudna) is reached at Beersheba under UN supervision with US , British, French,, Russian, and Chinese approval in the UN Security Council.

The following two paragraph definition of an Islamic “hudna “ was extracted from an article in the New York Times titled “Pause for Peace,” November 1, 2008, by Ahmed Yousef:

A truce is referred to in Arabic as a “hudna.” Typically covering 10 years, a hudna is recognized in Islamic jurisprudence as a legitimate and binding contract. A hudna extends beyond the Western concept of a cease-fire and obliges the parties to use the period to seek a permanent, nonviolent resolution to their differences. The Koran finds great merit in such efforts at promoting understanding among different people. Whereas war dehumanizes the enemy and makes it easier to kill, a hudna affords the opportunity to humanize one’s opponents and understand their position with the goal of resolving the intertribal or international dispute.

Such a concept — a period of non-war but only partial resolution of a conflict — is foreign to the West and has been greeted with much suspicion. Many Westerners I speak to wonder how one can stop the violence without ending the conflict.

How such a concept will be fulfilled in the previous paragraph follows:

“Such a concept — a period of non-war but only partial resolution of a conflict — is foreign to the West and has been greeted with much suspicion. Many Westerners I speak to wonder how one can stop the violence without ending the conflict.”

The Following is Posted below Archive Prophecy Update 321 Diagram

LAST 1335 DAYS OF THE AGE OF GENTILES

Initial attack occurs – It takes Islam 75 days to drive the IDF into the Negev Wilderness – Great earthquake of Revelation 6:12 occurs, Israel holds at Beersheba, and truce is declared on urging of world powers.

Israel remains in Negev for 1260 days, then truce is broken by Islam.

1290 days after initial attack antichrist returns from Egypt and sits as the abomination of desolation on Temple Mount in his command post (appeden) -The two witnesses are killed and caught up – The rapture occurs immediately thereafter as seventh trump sounds – and for some 45 days God’s wrath is poured out on the lost while the saved are being judged in heaven – Battle of Armageddon begins and Second Advent of Christ’s return ends it.

Daniel 12:11,12 – And from the time that the daily sacri?ce shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. [12] Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

A blessed remnant of Jews will be allowed to go into physical Millennial Reign in the land of Israel.

Dark Vader Bashar Assad And His Evil Empire Fighting Back!

A Supplement to the Previous Blog Issued on July 24, 2012.

July 25, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The rebel forces will eventually win, but Assad’s forces are putting up a whale of a fight because they are fighting for their lives, knowing the Arab practice of retribution being in the form of torture followed by death to the losers. For Assad’s forces it is a fight to the death.

The following Excerpts and Headlines from a wide variety of sources give a vivid picture of the intensity of a full blown civil war.

Gulf News 2012-07-25: Beirut: Violence raged in Syria’s second city Aleppo overnight and into Wednesday morning, as regular troops battled rebels forces, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The Britain-based watchdog reported clashes in the district of Bustan Al Qasr in the south of the city, and said government forces used helicopter gunships to strafe neighbourhoods, causing deaths and injuries. Fighting was also reported in the central Al Jamaliya neighbourhood, close to the local headquarters of the ruling Baath party. In Aleppo province, the army battled to retake the rebel town of Al Bab, shelling the area as it tried.

In Syria, ‘No End in Sight’ to Violent Crackdown Against Protests

Syrian activists reported Monday that security forces detained 3000 people in Rastan after a weekend of some of the worst fighting since the uprising began six months ago. Ray Suarez reports on the violent stalemate between the government and opposition.

J’lem official: Syria unlikely to use chemical warfare

Citing Western intelligence agencies, source says that Syrian regime does not intend to employ chemical weapons, and has taken great care to make sure the ruinous gases don’t fall into Hezbollah hands

Ron Ben-Yishai

The likelihood that Syrian President Bashar Assad would make use of chemical warfare or hand such weapons over to Hezbollah has diminished significantly in recent days, according to a top official in Jerusalem.

Citing data from Western intelligence agencies, the official said that the Syrian regime does not intend to employ the chemical weapons in its possession. Moreover, it is taking great care to make sure that the arsenal doesn’t fall into the hands of any group outside the Syrian army.

Intelligence agencies in the United States, Europe and the Middle East have learned recently that Syria has been transferring the materials used to produce the chemical warheads to bases located far from the sites of the battle between government and opposition forces. The resources are being relocated to bases in the country’s east, to which the rebels and Hezbollah have scarce access.

The authorities are also careful to separate the different materials that go into nerve gas, and store them in bunkers and camps that are located dozens of kilometers away from each other. Therefore, if insurgents do get their hands on some of the chemicals, they won’t be able to compound the ruinous gas.

Syria has produced large quantities of chemical warfare agents, and is also in possession of large stockpiles of mustard gas, which were evidently handed over to Syria by Iraq in 2003.

Heeding West’s warnings

Last week, the Syrian opposition has voiced concern that the Syrian army has begun using these chemical weapons against the rebels. Around the same time, Western intelligence officials have spotted the movement of trucks and logistics units near the bases in the Wadi Khaled region and in the cities of Homs, Hama and al-Safir. The officials postulated that the embattled regime intends to use the chemical agents against opposition forces.

The US was quick to publically warn Syria against using the agents, a sentiment later reiterated by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Less vocally, Russia has urged Assad not to employ the weapons in his arsenal as well.

Israel, in turn, has cautioned Syria not to hand over the chemical agents to Hezbollah; Jerusalem primarily fears that the militant group will take advantage of the chaos in Syria to seize the chemicals even without Damascus’ consent.

Evidently, Damascus has taken these admonitions to heart, taking meticulous measures to protect its chemical arsenal.

Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi’s announcement that the country’s chemical weapons stocks are secure and would only be used in the case of a foreign attack was meant to signal the West that the warnings have been heeded.

Over the weekend, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel is preparing for a possible military intervention in Syria in case Damascus hands missiles or chemical weapons to Hezbollah. On Tuesday, IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz warned, however, that a strike on Syria’s chemical weapon caches could implicate the Jewish state in a major war.

What Will Lead Israel Into A Cunningly Devised Daniel 11 Islamic Trap?

What will lead Israel into a cunningly devised Daniel 11 Islamic Trap?

July 24, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The King of the North is a coming reformer ruler who will eventually arise in greater Syria out of the current civil war.

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

The King of the South is an Israeli Prime Minister who will order the IDF to charge into southern Lebanon, which was a part of greater Syria. But the IDF will be deliberately led into a prepared trap laid by the future Antichrist. The counterattack will be used to eventually drive Israel into the Negev Wilderness, where she will be surrounded by the Islamic forces for some three and one-half prophetic years of 360 days.

360 Days = 1 Prophetic Year 1260 Days = 3 & ½ Prophetic Years = 42 Months

Time (1 Year) + Times (2 Years) + Dividing of Time (1/2 Years) = 3 & ½ Years

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 7:25 – And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Israel will be given into his hand because he will have them completely surrounded on all their borders for 1260 days.

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.

I believe both Israel and the U.S. used satellite photographs and electronic intercept to watch the removal of WMD from the sites mentioned in the following Excerpt from Wikipedia, and know precisely where they all located at the present time. I suspect all of them are now locally in one area to facilitate their protection. It is likely Israel will use precise air strikes or internal commando attacks to destroy the Syrian WMD, rather than having the IDF drive north across the Syrian border.

With the civil war in Syria, the Hezbollah terrorist attack in Europe, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, the rebirth of Al Qaeda, the continued drive of Iran to obtain an arsenal of defensive nuclear missiles, Russian and Chinese involvement, and widespread saber rattling, I admit it is difficult not to say the final Middle East war of this age will occur this year or in 2013, but I still believe it is more likely to begin at some point in time between 2014 and 2016. The counterattack of the King of the North against the King of the South is well planned militarily, and I believed the current mass confusion in the Middle East does not give itself to a well executed scenario.

Begin Excerpt from Wikipedia

Syria and weapons of mass destruction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Syria has allegedly researched, and manufactured, weapons of mass destruction. On July 23, 2012 Syria admitted to possessing a stockpile of chemical weapons which it claims are reserved for national defense against foreign countries[1].

Western non-governmental organizations have stated they believe Syria has an active chemical weapons program.[2][3][4][5] Syria is one of seven non-signatories to the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993,[6] though it denied that it had chemical weapons[7] until admitting it possessed such weapons in 2012.[8]

Syria is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and maintains a civil nuclear program. On September 6, 2007, Israel unilaterally bombed a site in Syria which it believed had hosted a nuclear reactor under construction. U.S. intelligence officials claimed low confidence that the site was meant for weapons development.[9] Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said the site in discussion was just “a military site under construction”[10] and that Syria’s goal is a nuclear-free Middle East.[11] Syria allowed the IAEA to visit the site on June 23, 2008, taking environmental samples that revealed the presence of man-made uranium and other materials consistent with a reactor. On May 24, 2011, IAEA Director General Amano released a report which assessed that the destroyed facility was a reactor, and the IAEA Board of Governors voted 17-6 (with 11 abstentions) to report this as non-compliance to the UN Security Council.

Chemical

Syria reportedly manufactures Sarin, Tabun, VX, and mustard gas types of chemical weapons.[12]

Syria is one of only 7 nations which is not a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention.

While Syria has recently publicly admitted to its chemical weapons program, confirming Israeli allegations. Syrian officials have stated that they feel it appropriate to have some deterrent against Israel’s similarly non-admitted nuclear weapons program when questioned about the topic. They have also stated they would use such weapons against other countries.

Independent assessments indicate that Syrian production could be up to a combined total of a few hundred tons of chemical agent per year.

Facilities

Syrian chemical weapons production facilities have been identified by Western nonproliferation experts at approximately 5 sites, plus one suspected weapons base:[13]

• Al Safir (Scud missile base)
• Cerin
• Hama
• Homs
• Latakia
• Palmyra

2007 explosion

Main article: July 2007 Syrian arms depot explosion

In July 2007, a Syrian arms depot exploded, killing at least 15 Syrians. Jane’s Defence Weekly, a U.S. magazine reporting on military and corporate affairs, believed that the explosion happened when Iranian and Syrian military personnel attempted to fit a Scud missile with a mustard gas warhead. Syria stated that the blast was accidental and not chemical related.[14]

2012 Statement

In July 2012, a spokesman for the foreign ministry indicated that it would use chemical and biological weapons if they were attacked by foreign powers to intervene in the Syrian Civil War. The same spokesman said that it would never use these weapons against Syrian citizens.[8]

Biological

The site at Cerin is also associated with an active biological weapons research and production program.

According to NATO Consultant Dr Jill Dekker, Syria has worked on: anthrax, plague, tularemia, botulinium, smallpox, aflotoxin, cholera, ricin and camelpox, and has used Russian help in installing anthrax in missile warheads. She also stated “they view their bio-chemical arsenal as part of a normal weapons program”.[15]

Nuclear

Open nuclear programs

Syria is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has repeatedly attempted to purchase small research type nuclear reactors from China, Russia, Argentina, or other countries. Despite these purchases being openly disclosed and IAEA monitored, international pressure has caused all these reactor purchases to be cancelled. Syria has open and IAEA monitored nuclear research programs including a Chinese made non-reactor miniature neutron source.[16]

On November 26, 2008 the IAEA Board of Governors approved technical aid for Syria despite Western allegations that the country had a secret atomic program that could eventually be used to make weapons. China, Russia and developing nations, criticized Western “political interference” that they said undermined the IAEA’s programme to foster civilian atomic energy development.[17] The top U.N. nuclear official also strongly rebuked Western powers for trying to deny the request, saying this shouldn’t be done without evidence and merely on the existence of an investigation.[18]

Begin 3 Excerpts from DEBKAfile

Excerpt 1

Two hours for Syrian chemical weapons to reach Lebanon. Four armies prepared

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

July 22, 2012, 10:47 PM (GMT+02:00)

Israeli, Turkish and Jordanian armies and US Middle East forces were on the ready Sunday, July 22, in case Syrian chemical weapons moved toward Lebanon, DEBKAfile reports. Acting in unison, those armies are watching out for the slightest movement, because it would take just two hours to cover the distance from Syria to the Hizballah-controlled Bakaa Valley of Lebanon. Their arrival there would mean a war. So the IDF prefers to stop the arsenal in its tracks before it reaches the Lebanese border.

Excerpt 2

Assad rebuilds fighting command, retaliates against Turkey

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

July 22, 2012, 11:30 AM (GMT+02:00)

Assad quickly recovered from the loss of his four top allies last Wednesday, July 18 and replaced them with a new command for fighting the rebels headed by his brother Gen. Maher Assad, DEBKAfile reports exclusively. Gen. Ali Mamloukh is new General Security Service head; Gen. Hafez Makhlouf military commander of Damascus; and Gen. Ali Hassan chief of the Alawite Shabiha militia. Assad retaliated against Turkey by letting Kurdish PKK rebels fighting Turkey from Iraq set up bases in Syria, from which they launched their first attack.

Excerpt 3

A Hizballah suicide terror revival launched by the Burgas bus bombing

DEBKAfile Special Report

July 20, 2012, 1:29 PM (GMT+02:00)

The suicide bombing attack in Bulgaria which left five Israelis dead and more than 30 injured on July 18 is seen by Western intelligence and counter-terror sources as marking Hizballah’s regression to its old tactics. After a 17-year break, the Lebanese terrorist group is again sending suicide killers to murder Israelis and Jews. Israel’s counter-terror agencies failed to pick up on this. While they are catching up, Iran and Hizballah will take the chance for more violence – unless Israel restores its deterrence with a firm hand.

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

Iraq – A Biblical Land of Conquerors and Confusion

The post Saddam government’s character and temperament cannot be expected to maintain a personality that manifests a long-term gratitude for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Its history dictates that initial expressions of thanksgiving must slowly, but surely, return to the standard Islamic attitude toward the big devil United States, and the little devil Israel. It will never degenerate to the Saddam regime madness, but Iraq will be among the 10 nations that attacks Israel some three and on-half years before the final battle of Armageddon.

The new civilian government, which will eventually be installed, will have a violent mixture of the intermingled blood of the 12 sons of Ishmael (the first son of Abraham), the six sons of Keturah by Abraham, and the two sons of Lot (Abraham’s nephew). The first post flood population in the Iraq area was ruled by Noah’s great grandson, Nimrod, who the son of Cush, the son of Ham. Asshur, the grandson of Shem, the son of Noah, peopled the northern part. So, in this area you have the intermingled blood of the descendants of all the aforementioned ancestors. As a matter of fact, the word translated as “mingled” in Daniel 2:43 is “Arab.” The seed of all these ancestors has certainly been “mingled” in the production of offspring, but they have not been able to cleave together continuously except under the control of a very strong leader, and then only for a relatively short period of time. The great Assyrian warrior kings of 800 to 600 B.C., followed by the great Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, and the famous Kurd Saladin from northern Iraq, who united the mingled tribes to drive the crusaders out of Jerusalem in 1187, have shown that only a strong-willed ruler can unite them, and then only for a specific purpose of conquest, which is invariably followed by a period of empire decay as the cleavage of many different bloodlines crumbles. The coming antichrist will be able to unite them for a while, but in the end they will break apart. He will be like Nimrod in character.

Daniel 11:36 – And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

Daniel 2:42,43 – 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.

I have always taught that I believed the antichrist would come out of Syria (See Prophecy Updates 62,63,64,65,66,67,68, and 69), but I have repeatedly stated that I am only certain he will come out of the old Assyrian empire, which would include Lebanon, extreme southeastern Turkey, and northern Iraq. So I will be watching very carefully to see if someone from northern Iraq becomes the President of Iraq. It will take a really strong, and extremely clever, ruler to unite the Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish factions across Iraq.

The 10 toes and 10 horns of Daniel are the same 10 horns of John’s first and second beasts. They are not European nations, and the antichrist is not a European. He is the Assyrian of Micah’s fifth chapter, and the 10 toes and 10 horns are basically mingled (Arab) descendants of Abraham, who practice the Islamic faith – a faith that would be the worship of a strange god unknown to Abraham. The division of the vast riches of the Iraqi oil fields among the different ethnic groups within Iraq would most certainly gain him a loyal following among all the Islamic clerics.

Daniel 11:37,38 – Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. [38] But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. [39] Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

Daniel 7:24 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Revelation 17:12,13 – 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.

So, Lord willing, I will be paying very close attention to the interplay between the new Iraqi government, Syria, and Iran. This is going to be a very interesting scenario.

Iraq Developing Contingency Plan for Quick U.S. Force Withdrawal!

May 27, 2007

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Iraq is formulating a contingency plan in the eventuality of a sudden withdrawal by American forces from Iraq.

I do not expect a major Middle East War until American troops are out of Iraq. Nor do I expect one to begin until Iran has a deliverable nuclear warhead for its Shihab Missile Series. If the Iranian nuclear facilities are damaged by an air attack prior to Iran developing nuclear warheads, then a major Middle East War is likely to occur before Iran develops such weaponry.

US ends Iraq war, leaves two civil conflicts on the boil

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis

August 19, 2010, 11:36 AM (GMT+02:00)

The crossing of the US 4th Stryker Brigade and 2nd Infantry Division from Iraq into Kuwait Thursday morning, Aug. 19, ended America’s combat involvement in the seven and-a-half year Iraq war. DEBKAfile’s military and Baghdad sources note that, for Washington, the war which cost 4,400 American lives and $1 trillion – is over, as per US President Barack Obama’s pledge. But for Iraq, it is just beginning: At least two civil conflicts are at boiling point – Sunni-Shiite strife and hostilities between the two Muslim factions and the Kurds of the North – and Iran’s followers stand ready to seize Iraq’s oil-rich South potentially sparking yet another world conflagration.

The political vacuum in Baghdad created by Nouri al-Maliki’s refusal to step down or join a unity government is unsustainable and the cause of a rising spiral of violence. Neither of the two leading Iraqi parties which emerged from the general election earlier this year – Maliki’s State of Law Party and ex-prime minister Iyad Allawi’s Iraqiya Party – is seen capable of commanding a parliamentary majority any time this year.

Spate of deadly attacks across Iraq

At least 100 people killed after series of explosions and gun attacks in various cities, including capital Baghdad.

Last Modified 23 July 2012, 13:29

A series of gun and bomb attacks has racked Iraq for the second straight day, with unidentified gunmen targeting a military base and car bombs exploding in Baghdad, Kirkuk and elsewhere.

More than 100 people are reported to have been killed and 180 injured in at least 19 separate explosions and attacks on Monday morning, officials said.

At least 15 Iraqi soldiers were killed and four others injured after gunmen attacked a military base in Salah Din province, an army official told Al Jazeera.

The attack took place early on Monday morning, while the soldiers were still asleep, in a base east of Dhuluiyah township, about 90km north of Baghdad. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

A car bomb in the city of Taji, north of Baghdad, targeted a residential compound. Initial reports suggested that more than 18 people had been killed, and dozens wounded. That attack involved a secondary explosion, which targeted rescue personnel who had rushed to the scene.

In the northern oil town of Kirkuk, police were targeted by four synchronised car bombs, killing five people, including three civilians. Nineteen people were injured in those blasts.

Baghdad bombings

In Baghdad, car bombs targeted an interior ministry office that issues ID cards to residents of the city’s mainly Shia Sadr City neighbourhood. At least 16 people were killed in that attack.

“It was a thunderous explosion,” said Mohammed Munim, 35, who was working at the office.

“The only thing I remember was the smoke and fire, which was everywhere,” he added from his bed in the emergency room at Sadr City hospital.

In Baghdad’s eastern Husseiniyah neighbourhood, police sources told Al Jazeera that a parked car bomb killed at least three people and injured another 31 on Monday.

In the city of Touz Khurmato, 140km north of Baghdad, a car bomb targeted a local market, killing at least one person and wounding three others. A separate explosion in that city killed one person and wounded 35 others.

In the eastern town of Muqdadiyah, near Baquba, two civilians were killed and 13 injured after a motorcycle bomb went off on a main street.

South of the capital, in Mahmoudiya, a series of three bombs targeted civilians. Initial reports from police said that the death toll in that attack was at least 10, with as many as 38 wounded.

Meanwhile, two members of a tribal coalition aimed at maintaining security were killed by unidentified gunmen in central Samarra city, 120km north of Baghdad.

In Dujail, 75km north of the capital, a bomb went off near a Shia mosque, killing a woman and injuring four others.

In the town of Ba’aaj, near Mosul, two policemen were killed when a suicide bomber targeted a police station, while in a separate explosion west of Mosul, a car bomb killed three army soldiers and wounded six civilians.

In Dewaniyah province, 180km south of Baghdad, an improvised explosive device attack hit a vegetable market, killing three people and injuring at least 20 others.

In central Balad township, about 80km north of Baghdad, a parked car exploded outside the home of a local political leader, Al Radhee Mohammed. That blast did not result in any casualties. A second car explosion, apparently targeting labourers, also went off in Balad on Monday morning, but there was no immediate confirmation of casualties.

Police say they had identified a third bomb in the same area and had the situation under control.

‘Military and Shia targeted’

Al Jazeera’s Jane Arraf, reporting from Erbil, said that initial figures were difficult to verify.

“The death tolls are varying wildly [but] they appear to be attacks, as has been the pattern, on military targets as well as Shia communities.”

Monday’s attacks are the worst since June 13, when a series of explosions killed 84 people. The fresh wave of killings comes just a day after a spate of bombings across the country killed at least 20 people and wounded 88 others.

“It is certainly a sign that despite all gains made against al-Qaeda in Iraq … they are still out there,” reported Al Jazeera’s Arraf, adding that the group had recently warned that it was commencing “a new stage” in its campaign.

The Islamic State of Iraq, a group closely aligned with al-Qaeda in Iraq, warned in an audio message posted on jihadist forums that it would begin targeting judges and prosecutors as it renewed its campaign to free members who are currently being held in prison.

“We are starting a new stage,” said the voice on the message, purportedly that of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has been leader of the Islamic State of Iraq since May 2010.

“The first priority in this is releasing Muslim prisoners everywhere, and chasing and eliminating judges and investigators and their guards.”

It was not possible to verify whether the voice was that of Baghdadi. Al-Qaeda in Iraq is regarded by Iraqi officials as significantly weaker than at the peak of its strength in 2006 and 2007, but it is still capable of launching spectacular mass-casualty attacks.

Al Jazeera’s Arraf said that the attacks have “sparked fears that security forces will not be able to handle what appears to many people to be a resurgence of al-Qaeda” in the absence of US troops, who pulled out of the country at the end of last year.

British Navy preparing mass Evacuations

Of Britons from Syria, Jordan, & Lebanon

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The Regime will eventually fall to the rebels, but is fiercely fighting to the end because they know the rebels will kill many of those who fought against them, particularly those of the ruling Muslim Alawite sect. Both sides know the toll taken by the victors on the losers will be a brutal massacre .

Assad had planned for all this long ago, and had an escape contingency, as I indicated 8 months ago in our January Blog, and repeated on our July 20 Blog, He may use chemical WMD against the rebels, but I doubt it, because a few countries would presently give him political sanctuary, but if he used chemical WMD I doubt if any country would accept him.

In Blogs we have issued the war began Assad has stated he would fight to the death in Syria, but most dictators say this, and most flee to a friendly country, run, or hide when the end approaches. I hope this will be the case with Assad. If he has the courage to do what he said, he may use his chemical and biological WMD.

My best hope is that he will be assassinated by his Syrian and foreign friends before he makes his decision.

Please remember my wife Emogine. They had to rush her back once again to Little Rock in her long history of surgeries since I began to pastor Dardanelle MBC 38 years ago. We appreciate all the prayers you have performed on her behalf.

Army ‘cleans’ away rebels

Published: July 22, 2012 – 3:00AM

THE Syrian military escorted journalists in armoured personnel carriers into Midan in the south of Damascus after saying that it had ”cleaned” the district of rebel fighters.

In Assakhane Square, one reporter saw three rebels sprawled lifeless alongside a pick-up truck mounted with a heavy machinegun.

The military said the square had been the site of fierce fighting, and thick black smoke still billowed from several apartments that had been completely destroyed.

The silence was broken only by the crackle of intermittent gunfire.

”There are still some snipers,” a soldier said. ”We will remove them.”

Rebel slogans were still scrawled across the walls of several buildings.

”Protect the revolutionary Midan! We will not kneel!”

In apartments that had been occupied by rebels, holes were gouged through interior walls so they could move from house to house, avoiding the dangers of the open street and snipers.

The smell of spent powder filled the air, and a minaret at the neighbourhood’s Al Majid mosque had been pierced by a shell.

At a nearby grocery stall, potatoes, tomatoes and onions rotted under the hot sun, and ransacked stores suggested traders had fled in panic with no time to even close their shops.

The facades of several buildings were riddled with bullets or had been shattered by shellfire.

There was no sign of any civilians in Midan, just some soldiers still wearing helmets and flak jackets as they lounged at a local barber’s shop.

One soldier said the elite Republican Guard led the assault on the neighbourhood traditionally popular for selling sweets during Ramadan.

State television had announced earlier on Friday that regime forces had ”cleaned” the Midan area.

One officer said on television that ”armed elements entered neighbourhoods and attacked the residents, who begged us to rescue them”.

An opposition activist said: ”The Free Syrian Army pulled out of Midan at dawn because of fierce bombardment.”

Navy task force preparing mass evacuations of Britons from Syria, Jordan, Lebanon

It will include helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious and amphibious ship HMS Bulwark

Daily UK Telegraph

Published: 14:32 July 21, 2012

London: Britain’s Royal Navy is preparing contingency plans for a mass evacuation of British citizens from Syria and neighbouring countries. A substantial Navy task force will deploy to the eastern Mediterranean for large scale exercises after the Olympics but will have the capability to help civilians fleeing the growing violence.

It will include the helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious and the amphibious ship HMS Bulwark ferrying 45 Commando, Royal Marines. The force will carry out amphibious landings in Sardinia, Albania and Turkey then is likely to “loiter” off Cyprus, 160 kilometres from the Syrian mainland.

Navy planners said the fleet was a precautionary measure to evacuate British passport holders from across the Middle East. A Ministry of Defence source said: “There is no question at this stage of a combat role, our aim is purely to consider contingency plans to evacuate British nationals if there are ‘proxy conflicts’ in the Lebanon and Jordan.

“The worst case scenario would be terrorist attacks in Lebanon and Jordan if the Syrian government seeks to destabilise the entire region.” It is understood that special forces and diplomats have been in the region assessing the number of British passports holders who have fled across the border from Syria into Lebanon and Jordan and drawing up evacuation plans. More than 30,000 people have fled into Lebanon alone in the past two days, according to the United Nations. Senior officers have been briefed that there will be no direct intervention in Syria but there is a strong possibility of “redeployment”.
