I have, for several years, issued blogs guesstimating the final war of the Gentile Age was likely to begin at some point between 2014 and 2016. The future effects of Arab Spring and Obama’s passive foreign policies have created a situation such that the Islamists now see they can have time to completely prepare for a winning war against Israel, and that is exactly what I expect them to do. I do not believe the last Middle East war of the Gentile Age will begin until after the 2016 election. The future 10 horns and their 11th Antichrist Islamic horn (Mahdi) will use Obama’s term to build up military strength and unity to attain initial successes in the final war, but they will be smashed by Israel some 3 and ½ years after the initial attack when Jesus comes to end the final battle of Armageddon at his Second Advent. I do not intend to guess at any “more likely time zones’ for the final war to begin, I will simply relegate the time after the 2016 election as “it is near, even at the doors.”
I expect the recently elected Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian President will use an ancient Islamic battle tactic to finally gain full control of Egypt. Muslim forces would suddenly rush forward unexpectedly and extend their battle lines, then quickly withdraw, but keep some of their gain after having tested the power and will of their foes. I expect President Mursi to temporarily withdraw from some elements of his power after surging to gain a “Pharaoh like” territorial power. He will smooth over part of his power grab demands, but will keep up this technique until he, or another Muslim Brotherhood leader, will put in strict Sharia Law that all Egyptian judges must employ in every situation.
When “that Wicked” Muslim, with his 10 Islamic horns, is made fully known (revealed) to believers by attacking Israel he, along with his horns, will meet their doom some 3 and ½ years later at Armageddon because they have believed the spirit of Antichrist lie.
Revelation17:12,13,17 – 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. [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.
Matthew 24:35 – Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
II Thessalonians 2:8-17 – And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: [14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. [16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, [17] Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Ahmadinejad congratulates Haniyeh; tunnel rebuilding begins
Hamas leader tells Iranian president ‘victory’ over Israel belongs to Muslims worldwide; Rafah arms smuggling tunnels already being rebuilt, according to reports in Gaza

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Hamas Prime Minister in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh on Friday and congratulated him on the “resistance’s victory following the Israeli aggression that lasted eight days.”
Ahmadinejad said Iran stands with the Palestinian people and asked Haniyeh to send his condolences to the families of those killed during the IDF’s Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza. Haniyeh thanked the Iranian president and told him that the “victory” belongs to Muslims worldwide.

Hamas polices border after IDF kills man
Senior Hamas figure Mahmoud al-Zahar acknowledged on Friday that the rockets fired by Hamas’ armed wing toward Israel during the latest round of fighting were “Iranian rockets in Palestinian hands.”
Speaking at a procession in Gaza, al-Zahar criticized the Fatah movement and the Palestinian Authority, saying they played no part in the “victory” over Israel.
Meanwhile, reports in Gaza said the Rafah smuggling tunnels, pummeled by the IAF over eight days, are already being rebuilt.
“As you can see there is complete destruction, the tunnels are all destroyed because of the missiles. We will rebuild them and bring in food, flour lentils and sugar and building material such as cement and metal so that the people can break the siege on Gaza,” Mohamad Omar told Reuters on Friday while his friends were busy clearing up their camp.
Local workmen said the IAF attacks destroyed more than two-thirds of the cross-border tunnels which are used to bring in cement, fuel, food, and the rockets and mortar shells used against Israeli civilian enclaves only a few miles away.
“We are trying to fix the tunnel in order to return to our normal life which we need the tunnel for work. It costs a lot but what can we do, we have to fix it. For example this tunnel of ours which has been hit it will cost no less that 40 thousand dollars to fix,” Mohamad Aladwan said.
On Friday top Hamas figure Izzat al-Rishiq denied reports that the ceasefire agreement includes an Egyptian guarantee to work with the US to prevent weapons smuggling into Gaza.
“It is not true, as some say, that the ceasefire agreement included that Egypt will work with special US units to prevent smuggling of weapons into Gaza. These are Israeli leaks aimed to ease the impact of their defeat,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Islamic Jihad deputy leader Ziad Nakhaleh also addressed the ceasefire and warned that his terror organization would retaliate to any Israeli violation of the truce.
He said the agreement calls on Israel to lift the siege on Gaza. If Israel fails to comply, he said, the Palestinian groups in Gaza would resume the armed ‘resistance’.

Weekly Commentary Looking At The Text Of The Ceasefire Understanding – Just The Facts
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 22 November 2012
I want to take this opportunity to review the actual text of the Ceasefire Understanding announced yesterday in Cairo and leave speculation as to the efficacy of alternatives to PM Netanyahu’s decision to accept this understanding to other commentators for today.
I do this because it is vitally important to understand what is in fact written and not written in the text.
[The text follows this commentary]
#1. The obligation of each party not to engage in “hostilities” is not linked to the compliance of the other party.
#2. In point of fact, the agreement explicitly and specifically prohibits Israel from the “targeting of individuals” – so that Israel cannot dispatch to Paradise a specific terrorist either before, during or after they have engaged in an activity against Israel.
#3. The only relief available to a party in the event that the other party violates the understanding is to inform Egypt of the violation, with Egypt following up on the violation.
#4. While the understanding places no restriction on the importation or local manufacture of weapons in the Gaza Strip, it prohibits any Israeli activity inside the Gaza Strip against this activity. (Take note: Prime Minister Netanyahu said last night that “the United States and Israel would work together to fight the smuggling of weapons to the terror organizations”. Mr. Netanyahu did not mention Egypt and in the case of the Americans, this relates only to the smuggling of weapons – not their manufacture in the Gaza Strip).
I want to make it clear that I am not speculating if Israel will opt to violate the understanding and return fire. I am also not going to speculate if Israel will opt to violate the understanding and demolish weapons manufacturing and storage facilities. My point is only that such activities are not sanctioned by the understanding.
Which brings us to a disturbing element of the entire concept:
Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt is one of the most critical strategic assets that Israel has.
Egypt is both the official sponsor of this understanding and, as already mentioned above, the party assigned the responsibility to follow up on violations of the understanding.
From this point onwards, every decision Israel makes regarding the Gaza Strip will have to give considerable weight to the possible impact of that decision on the future of the Jewish State’s relations with Egypt.
I will leave for others to speculate if Hamas has been deterred or if, instead, they will exploit this understanding to prepare in earnest for the next round of conflict.
I will also leave for others to speculate if Israel will opt to exercise its fundamental sovereign right to defend itself.
I will only reiterate that the text of the understanding that Israel accepted last night has no provision for Israel to do anything beyond informing Egypt in the event of Palestinian violations and that there is absolutely no restriction of any kind on Palestinian military preparations.
