Massive Confused Chaos Among Islamic Nations won’t Allow War Now
They are too disorganized at present to initiate a Full Middle East War
God alone will Decide when to unite Islam to unite and start Final War
God initiates Islam attack and finishes war at Final Armageddon Battle
He will unite, bring down, and slaughter 10 toes/horns at Armageddon
God’s in Control even if Believers now Fall Away from Acknowledgment

The Middle East Islamic nations are currently in a maze of absolute confusion which is the beginning of a final cycle to end the Times of the Gentiles. They will come out of the first part of this cycle united and 10 Islamic Nations, led by the Islamic Antichrist, will eventually attack Israel to drive her into the Negev Wilderness, where she will remain surrounded for 3 and ½ Prophetic following a truce (hudna) time of peace, during which she will not be attacked. Then Antichrist will break the truce and attack Israel for the final great battle of Armageddon, and God will throw the Islamic forces into great chaos and confusion, causing them to attack one another at his Second Advent. The following Scriptures are a brief outline of my claims.
The Antichrist will eventually rise out of the maze of confusion created by actions of the “Arab Spring” uprising with its many deviations. I use the word “eventually” because the Lord has always been in control and he alone knows the exact date the Antichrist will be recognizable in the Middle East, but from his same word that teaches this, believers can know by fulfillment of many prophecies it is “drawing nigh” even at our doors.
Luke 21:11,28 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [28] And when these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption DRAWETH NIGH.
I Thessalonians 5:4,5 – But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Revelation 17:12,13,16,17 – 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. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [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.
Ezekiel 38:3-6 – And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [4] And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: [5] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: [6] Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

Psalm 2:2-5 – The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Zechariah 14:13 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

[8] But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. [13] Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

THE MIDDLE EAST IS CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF MASS CONFUSION
Begin Excerpts from Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert
Excerpt 1 – Washington Institute for Near East Policy
Nuclear Iran: Technical Issues Overshadowing Negotiations
Simon Henderson and Olli Heinonen
International diplomacy concerning Iran’s nuclear program centers on the regime’s lack of compliance with agreements it has signed to ensure that peaceful nuclear work is not used as a cover for weapons development. Iran’s current 20%-enrichment level sounds a long way from the 90% needed for a bomb, but this is not the case. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to explain why in the drawing he displayed during his September UN address. In fact, most of the work of producing weapons-grade material has already been done once 20% is reached.
The problem in allowing Iran to continue any enrichment work without a clear indication that it has given up nuclear military ambitions is twofold. First, its competence with centrifuge technology will likely improve, and second, it will eventually develop improved centrifuges to replace its existing low-efficiency machines, allowing it to rapidly produce larger quantities of weapons-grade material.
Iran already has 240 kg. of 20%-enriched uranium – an amount that, if further enriched, could produce a simple atomic bomb (in IAEA jargon, a “significant quantity.”)
Although some of its uranium stock has been made into fuel plates for a research reactor, this material could be converted back to centrifuge feedstock within a few months.
Accordingly, current estimates indicate that Iran could produce up to four “significant quantities” of weapons-grade uranium in as little as nine months from now. This timetable will shrink as more 20%-enriched uranium is produced. Once Iran reaches 960 kg., potential breakout time will be measured in weeks rather than months.

Countdown to the Red Line in Iran
Reuel Marc Gerecht and Mark Dubowitz
Iran’s oil exports have been halved by economic sanctions, but that still leaves the regime with around $50 billion in oil income this year, according to calculations by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Nevertheless, the Iranian economy has taken a substantial hit from sanctions. Tehran’s recent currency restrictions were also a warning: In all probability the regime is battening down the hatches, husbanding foreign-exchange reserves, and preparing for a long ordeal.
Given the progress that Tehran has already made with its nuclear plans – still-hidden centrifuge manufacturing plants, enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordow, a likely weaponization facility at Parchin, and an extensive ballistic-missile program – the regime faces a short, relatively inexpensive dash to the nuclear finish line.
At what point does the stockpiling of 20%-enriched uranium so diminish the time for processing weapons-grade material that Iran could become a threshold nuclear state in less than 30 days? A reasonable guess, based on the increasing number of centrifuges, is that Tehran will be there by the end of 2013. Gerecht, a former CIA case officer, is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Dubowitz is FDD’s executive director. (Wall Street Journal)

Would Hizbullah and Hamas Join Iran in a War Against Israel?
Ehud Eilam
There is a prevalent view that in the event of an Israeli strike on Iran, Tehran’s proxies in Lebanon and Gaza – Hizbullah and Hamas – would join in retaliation against Israel. A more likely scenario is that those groups’ participation will be limited at best. Hizbullah must consider its crumbling support from the weakened Assad regime, as well as popular opposition within Lebanon to its role in a military conflict with Israel. Hamas’ recent feud with Iran over the group’s lack of support for the Assad regime could render it reluctant to assist in the fight against Israel.

Hizbullah’s Unspoken War in Syria
Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah
(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
The fighting in Syria has already spilled over the border into Lebanon, threatening the fragile sectarian balance holding the country together. Cross-border attacks have become customary, with the Syrian Army shelling and shooting into Lebanese villages that it says are harboring Syrian rebels.
Across from El Hermel in northeastern Lebanon and inside Syrian territory, a string of villages inhabited by Shiites has been clashing with majority-Sunni villages that back the Syrian opposition forces in the countryside of Qusayr, on the outskirts of Homs. Hizbullah is interfering directly and militarily in Qusayr under the pretext of protecting the Shiite villages in the area. It currently claims control of 18 villages along the widest part of the Orontes River Basin.
The French Mandatory authorities delineated the Lebanon-Syria border in the years following the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920, but the border was never finalized. What is happening on the ground could be called de facto demarcation since Hizbullah has a presence in the Shiite string of villages (annexing them de facto to Lebanon), while the Free Syrian Army is present in most Sunni villages, thus annexing them to Syria.
Hizbullah appears to be carving out a 20-kilometer (12-mile) border corridor to the Syrian Alawite enclave on the coast. Hizbullah appears to be seeking to control strategic access to the Orontes River Basin in Syria and Lebanon to form a contiguous Alawite-Shiite mini-state. Yet the Shiite belt would likely face a major challenge from Sunnis on both sides of the border.
For the first time, Hizbullah is “exporting” its military know-how and might for use against Arab neighbors, in order to respond to Tehran’s strategic scheme to protect the Assad regime from falling. But by doing so, Hizbullah has alienated the Sunni majority in Syria and also in Lebanon. It would be fair to assess that in case Assad’s regime falls, Hizbullah will also have to fight for its life in the Lebanese context.
Hizbullah has been fighting for years to prove its “Lebanese” credentials. Fighting alongside the Alawite regime has turned Hizbullah back into what it really is: just another Lebanese armed militia, a Shiite army at the service of its patrons, sponsors, and protectors in Tehran.

Began Excerpt 5 from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
The bombed Sudanese factory produced Iranian Shehab missiles
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
October 24, 2012, 11:03 PM (GMT+02:00)
The Yarmouk Complex of military plants near Khartoum, whicht was bombed five minutes after midnight Wednesday, Oct. 24, by four fighter-bombers, recently went into manufacturing Iranian ballistic surface-to-surface Shehab missiles under license from Tehran, DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources disclose.
Western intelligence sources have not revealed what types of Shehab were being turned out in Sudan but they believe the Yarmouk’s output was intended to serve as Tehran’s strategic reserve stock in case Iran’s ballistic arsenal was hit by Israeli bombers.
The Israeli Air Force has a long record of pre-emptive attacks for destroying an enemy’s long-range missiles in the early stages of a conflict. In June 2006, for instance, the IAF destroyed 90 percent of Hizballah’s long-range missiles in the first hours of the Lebanon war.
Videos of the explosions caused in the air raid over Sudan showed large quantities of phosphorus flares in the sky suggesting that a large stockpile was demolished along with the manufacturing equipment.
Western sources did not divulge information about the comings and goings of Iranian missile specialists or whether the Bashir government had given Tehran permission to stage attacks from Sudan against Middle East targets, in return for the allotment of a number of missiles to the Sudanese army. All they would say is that the complex’s structures had been completely leveled by the aerial bombardment and subsequent fire.
Sudan accused Israel of the attack and stated it reserved the right to respond at a time and circumstances of its choosing. Israeli officials declined to comment in answer to questions.
If Indeed Israel was responsible for the bombing raid, it is possible to postulate the following objectives:
1. Its air force flew 1,800-1,900 kilometers to reach the Sudanese arms factory, a distance longer than the 1,600 kilometers to the Iranian underground enrichment site of Fordo. This operation may have been intended to show Tehran that distance presents no obstacles to an Israeli strike on its nuclear program.
2. The IAF has an efficient in-flight refueling capability.
3. The raid would have degraded Iran’s ability to retaliate for a potential Israel or US attack.
If it was conducted by Israel, it would add a third item to the list of backdoor assaults in which Iran and Israel appear to be engaged in the past three months.
On August 17, the power lines to Fordo were sabotaged, interrupting the work of enrichment taking place there and causing some of the advanced centrifuges to catch fire.
On Oct. 6, an Iranian stealth drone was launched from Lebanon into Israeli air space and photographed its most sensitive military sites as well as the Dimona nuclear reactor before Israel brought it down.
