BIBLE PROPHECIES TELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT ONLY GOD KNOWS THE PRECISE TIME OF THEIR OCCURRENCE. BELIEVING BY FAITH ALL OF THE PROPHECIES WILL BE FULFILLED GIVES REST – KNOWING MOST OF THEM HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED ASSURES OUR HOPE – SEEING MANY OF THEM BEING PERFORMED NOW IN OUR LIFETIME GIVES US JOY IN THAT ALL THE LOVE OF HIS COMING IS MANIFESTED BY OUR LOVE OF A SOON COMING. I HAVE BEEN HOPING HIS COMING WAS SOON SINCE GOD CALLED ME INTO THE MINISTRY 44 YEARS AGO. AS WE GROW TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE FOR US, WE GROAN WITHIN OURSELVES AS WE AWAIT REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES.

I Corinthians 2:9 – But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Romans 8:22-28 – For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. [24] For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? [25] But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. [26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Since I am very anxious for the Lord to come, I would be delighted to see the beginning of the final war of the Age of the Gentiles begin in the Middle East, and sincerely hope I am wrong in telling you this is NOT the BIG ONE.

Israel will continue to prevent the passage of WMD type weaponry into the hands of the Islamist terrorists around and inside Syria, as well as the latest high tech surface to air missiles that would be able to intercept their aircraft. This air strike has made it crystal clear to Lebanon, Hizbullah, Syria, Iran, and Hamas that Israel will use air strikes in the prevention of any of the new high tech anti-tank or anti-aircraft missiles received from Russia, China, Syria, and Iran.

It is going to take a long time to unite 10 Islamic Middle Countries to actually unite into a force that could initially drive Israel into the Negev Wilderness and contain them there for some 3 and ½ Years. Also, please remember the Caliph Antichrist King is prophesied to “rise AFTER them. Therefore I do not expect THE BIG Middle East War to begin till Obama has left office, but I do expect the attack to start at some point in time during the four years following his administration

ANTICHRIST & 10 HORNS DRIVE INTO NEGEV IN INITIAL ATTACK

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.

ISRAEL IS CONFINED IN NEGEV FOR 3 & ½ PROPHETIC YEARS

Daniel 7:24,25 – 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. [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.

ISLAM ENDS TRUCE AT 7TH TRUMP RAPTURE THEN VIALS POUR OUT

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.

CHRIST 2ND ADVENT ENDS ARMAGEDDON RETURNING WITH SAINTS

Daniel 7:26,27 – But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

We can be Sure Israel and U.S. Know Where WMD’s are Located

And are monitoring where they’re positioned at any given Time

Including Where They are in Transit from Moment to Moment

And the IAF and Allies can wipe them out in a short Period

And they will do so if they fall into Terrorist’s Possession

If Israel and/or the U.S. were to attack the WMD sites, it would not produce a Middle East war. Muslims would scream threats, individually shoot hand fired weapons in the air, and protest to the UN along with the Russians and Chinese. However, Most of Islam, as well as Russia and China, would be breathing s sigh of relief while they protested.

After three decisive defeats suffered in major wars with the Israelis, the Arabs do not want another Middle East war unless they are united in greater numbers of nations, such as 10 horns/toes.

If 10 Islamic countries, such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran were united and prepared for war, their Mahdi could lead them to drive Israel into the Negev, which would cause all Arab nations to get on his bandwagon by choice, or by conquest.

Daniel 7:24,25 – 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. [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.

Revelation 17:12,13,17 – 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.

Syrian defector: Assad forces transferred WMDs to Lebanon

Syrian defector says army moved 100 kilograms of chemicals used to compose lethal sarin gas from secret base in direction of Lebanon

Yitzhak Benhorin

December 19, 2012

Syrian war escalates: According to Syrian sources, President Bashar Assad’s regime has developed special vehicles for moving and mixing chemical weapons, the Washington Post reported.

Post commentator, David Ignatius spoke to a Syrian source who received information from a Syrian defector who worked inside a chemical weapons network.

Related stories:

*Report: Syrian military arms chemical weapons

*US report: Syria assembling chemical weapons

*NATO warns Syria not to use chemical weapons

The source was speaking with Ignatius from his hiding place in an Arab country outside Syria, with the “hope of encouraging greater American involvement with the opposition.”

Though suspicious of the source’s motives, and considering the case of an Iraqi defector who delivered fabricated information to US a decade ago in order to catalyze an invasion, Ignatius stressed that the defector’s information was corroborated by independent sources.

According to the defector, in January, two senior Syrian officers were transferring 100 kilograms of the chemicals used to compose the lethal sarin gas from a secret base some 50 km northeast of Damascus in the direction of Lebanon.

US sources, however, have no evidence that chemical weapons were indeed transported outside of Syria.

Nonetheless, the Syrian defector’s account further recounted an incident in which two men with Lebanese accents arrived at the secret base, where they were trained in the methods of mixing of isopropanol and methylphosphonyl difluoride – the mixed concoction of which produces sarin gas.

Syria is known to be in the possession of some 500 tons of isopropanol methylphosphonyl difluoride, but stores them separately so as to avoid any lethal leaks.

According to recent reports, processes of merging the substances, rendering them ready for use, have already begun. The defector’s information supports the theories by which Syria is preparing to activate chemical weapons, as it is now capable of transporting the chemicals and probably mix them en route.

To further substantiate the claim by which Assad’s regime was prepared to utilize chemical weapons, various Syrian sources reported that in a facility in the Damascus suburb of Dumar, special vehicles were upgraded in order to transport the chemical components.

The Dumar facility is part of a network of portable research laboratories, the construction of which started in the summer of 2011, a few months after the opposition to Assad’s regime started to form.

In the facility, civilian trucks were converted into portable labs for the production of chemical weapons. Various sources, including the Syrian defector, confirmed that such lab-vehicles were being prepared.

IAF chief: We’ll know how to deal with Syrian WMDs

Addressing possibility that chemical weapons will leak to Hezbollah, Maj.-Gen. Eshel says ‘we have the capabilities to deal with this threat.’ On blasts at Hezbollah arms caches: It’s not safe to sleep near rockets

Yoav Zitun

December 19, 2012

The IDF is closely monitoring the chemical weapons facilities located throughout Syria and is not ruling out the possibility of attacking the sites if some of the weapons end up in Hezbollah’s hands.

“We are prepared to deal with any scenario or threat, including unconventional weapons,” Israeli Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel said Wednesday. “This is an issue for the country’s decision-makers. We are providing the relevant capabilities, so that if it is decided to use them, we will know how to.”

Related articles:

*Abbas urges Assad to ‘spare Palestinians in Syria’

*Explosion in Hezbollah weapons depot

*Syria: Rebels may resort to using chemical weapons

According to Eshel, “The process of Syria’s disintegration is a known fact. (Syria) is very close to the State of Israel, in our back yard. In Syria there are weapons from every sort, including unconventional weapons. The first question is what will happen on the day after (Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime falls). We don’t have a single answer. We need to prepare a response, in which the air force plays a key role.”

The air force estimates that Hezbollah will continue to try and fly drones into Israeli territory. Eshel said that in the event of another conflict with the Lebanese terror group, “rockets will fall in (central Israel) as well. We will try to achieve a swift victory.”

Asked if Israel was involved in the explosions that took place in Hezbollah’s arms caches in recent months, the air force commander said “Those who have such warehouses and go to sleep beside rockets should know that it is not a safe place. “Hezbollah’s weapons warehouses should be dismantled and this threat must be removed, because unfortunately the international community has not been enforcing (the UN resolution that bans Hezbollah from storing weapons),” he added.

As for the Iranian nuclear threat, Eshel said the air force was preparing so that “all options will really be on the table.”

CHRIST THE STONE CRUSHES DANIEL’S 10 ISLAMIC TOES

Daniel 2:44-45 – 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. [45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

CHRIST TAKES AWAY 11TH HORN ANTICHRIST’S DOMINION

Daniel 7:24-27 – 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. [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. [26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

THE 10 GIVE THEIR POWER TO ANTICHRIST – HE ATTACKS ISRAEL – GOD PUTS IT IN ISLAMIC HEARTS TO PUNISH THE APOSTATE WOMAN AS WELL AS HER MANY DAUGHTERS.

Revelation 17:12-17 – 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. [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. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [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.

JESUS JUDGES ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET AT ARMAGEDDON

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.

Excerpt 1 – New York Times

Morsi Declares Emergency in 3 Egypt Cities as Unrest Spreads

David D. Kirkpatrick

New York Times

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi declared a one-month state of emergency and a curfew in Suez, Ismailia and Port Said on Sunday where the police have lost all control, after four days of clashes in Cairo and other cities between police and protesters denouncing the government on the second anniversary of the popular revolt that ousted Mubarak. Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Port Said on Sunday demanding independence from the rest of Egypt. “The people want the state of Port Said,” they chanted. Morsi deployed army troops to secure vital facilities in Port Said, but the soldiers watched without intervening as police battled civilian mobs.

In Cairo, fighting escalated near Tahrir Square as speakers demanded the repeal of the Islamist-backed constitution. Young men huddled in tents making incendiary devices, while others set tires on fire to block a main bridge across the Nile. “There is going to be chaos for some time,” said Moattaz Abdel-Fattah, a political scientist and academic who was a member of the assembly that drafted Egypt’s new constitution.

UAE Charges “Plotters Linked to Muslim Brotherhood”

BBC News

The United Arab Emirates has ordered 94 people to be tried on charges of trying to seize power. The attorney general said the suspects had formed a group that publicly called on people to observe the teachings and values of Islam, but in secret sought to overthrow the state. He said they had links to foreigners, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Last year authorities detained more than 60 civil society activists, many connected to al-Islah, an Islamist group alleged by the government to have links to the Muslim Brotherhood. (BBC News)

Excerpt 3 – Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert

France at War Against Global Jihad

Freddy Eytan

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert

Paris is very worried about the presence of Islamist and Salafist groups within France’s Muslim community, which numbers more than six million. Mohamed Merah, who murdered three French soldiers and carried out the massacre at the Jewish school in Toulouse, has become a symbol and a hero among Muslim youth.

President Hollande’s decision to send a military force to Mali was taken after a very real danger emerged that radical Islamic groups would take over the country. France still has important economic interests there including raw materials such as oil, gold, and uranium. About a quarter-million French subjects currently live in Africa.

Paris practices a double standard of morality, condemning Israel’s retaliatory acts against Hamas or Hizbullah, while seeing fit to act against terrorists thousands of kilometers from its own territory. One should commend France’s determined fight against global terror. But the time has come for sober internalization of the fact that the Islamic terrorists in Mali and the terrorists in Gaza, Sinai, or Lebanon belong to the same family and must be fought and eradicated together. The writer, a former Israel Foreign Ministry senior advisor who served in Israel’s embassies in Paris and Brussels, was Israel’s first Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)

Excerpt 4 – Israel Hayom

The North African Threat to Europe

Dore Gold

Israel Hayom

French intelligence experts have traced the rise of jihadist forces in North Africa to Pakistani and Afghan preachers who began arriving in 2002-3 in Mali and Niger along with international jihadists who fled Afghanistan after the U.S. intervention drove them out. Niger is the sixth largest producer of uranium ore in the world.

Western analysts do not understand the blind hatred of the West as a whole among all the jihadist organizations associated with al-Qaeda. Many times in Europe it is hoped that by taking a more critical position against Israel, European diplomats can lower the flames of radical Islamic rage against them. But these policies simply don’t work because the jihadists’ readiness to attack the West comes from a desire to eradicate Western civilization and not from the pronouncements any European official either for or against Israel.

8 KING LINES OF 7 BEAST KINGDOMS HAVE OR WILL AFFLICT ISRAEL

THE 7TH & 8TH ARE THE SAME IN THAT THEIR RELIGION IS ISLAMIC, WHICH TRULY REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST!

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

FALSE RELIGION HISTORICAL KINGDOMS HAVE CONQUERED AROUND SATAN’S MIDDLE EAST EUPHRATES SEAT SINCE THE TIME OF NIMROD!

THE GREAT UMAYYAD ISLAMIC EMPIRE OF 750 AD WAS THE 7TH BEAST

THE UMAYYAD ISLAMIC EMPIRE WAS LARGER THAN THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. IT WAS A VAST PROSPEROUS EMPIRE, (that was) BUT IT DIED (is not), THEN COMES BACK TO LIFE (as the eighth), TO BE DESTROYED BY GOD (both Antichrist Caliph and his Caliphate)

THE ANTICHRIST WILL LEAD THE 8TH ISLAMIC BEAST WHO CAME OUT OF THE 7TH ISLAMIC BEAST. HE IS DEPICTED AS THE BEAST HIMSELF.

Revelation 19:19,20 – 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.

REVELATION 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

The Sea is the Mediterranean, on which the great Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Islamic ships of the past have sailed.

The beast is a combination of eight kingdoms of man associated with this sea. All of the kingdoms have or will affect the people of Israel. The first seven have already affected Israel since the time God began to raise them as his people in Egypt.

The seven heads represent the seven evil kingdoms of man under which Israel has been affected since God delivered her from Egyptian bondage. The seven kingdoms in chronological order are: the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Islamic Kingdoms.

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

The seventh kingdom was the first great Islamic Umayyad Empire (Caliphate) that stretched from Spain across Northern Africa and the Middle East to India. It was the seventh empire which died but will be resurrected by the Islamic Antichrist to be the eighth, having the same type of religion as the seventh. The Koran written by Muhammad is the spirit of Islam and the spirit of Antichrist.

Islam believes that Jesus was the son of the Virgin Mary, but didn’t die on the cross.

Islam believes he ascended alive into heaven and will return to the earth after the Islamic Messiah. Islam does not believe he is the Son of God, which is the essence of the spirit of Antichrist.

I John 5:9-12 – If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. [10] He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

The ten horns are ten Islamic kings that will join with the Antichrist in the final Islamic Kingdom to attack Israel and drive her into the Negev for some three and one-half years. Their ten crowns represent their power which will be surrendered to the Antichrist.

7 Greek letters in (CH)(R)(I)(S)(T)(O)(S), make one for each head, and Antichrist claims to be God, which is the ultimate blasphemy.

REVELATION 13:2 – And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

First, John works backward to the kingdom from which Daniel was writing while in captivity, the Kingdom of Babylonia. John is writing during the time of the sixth head, the Roman Kingdom, the strange fourth beast of Daniel 7 with iron teeth and brass feet, so he does not mention it, but goes back to the Grecian Kingdom (leopard) crushed by the brass feet of the Iron Roman Kingdom Beast, then proceeds back to the Persian Kingdom (bear) the Grecian Kingdom overran, and finally gets back to the time of Daniel’s writing in the Babylonian Kingdom (lion).

The dragon (Satan) also has seven heads, ten horns, and ten crowns, which represent the same things as the beast of Revelation 13:1.

Revelation 12:3 – And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

The Devil’s kingdom has been located in the great Tigris-Euphrates River Valley since Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 10:6-11 – And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. [7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. [8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. [10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

Genesis 11:1-4,8 – And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. [3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [8] So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

EVENT 3 – Some seventy Five Days after the war begins Jerusalem will fall to the Islamic forces and close to two-thirds of the Jewish population will have been killed.

Zechariah 13:8 to 14:2 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [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. [1] Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Revelation 11:2 – But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

The surviving one-third will have split into two sections. One portion will be boxed in along the narrow coastal strip from Tel Aviv to Haifa, and the other portion will have withdrawn to the Negev area from Beersheba to Eilat!

About 70 percent of the Jewish population is concentrated on Israel’s narrow coastal plain from Tel Aviv to Haifa.

The Antichrist knows he will not be able to penetrate into the Negev because it is the most heavily military fortified zone in Israel, and billions of dollars have been spent to make it perhaps the best contingency evacuation zone of any of the world’s nations. Besides this, as he nears the northern section of the Negev to the North of Beersheba a great earthquake will occur in, and to the north of the zone, along the Jordan River, and he will lose a fair portion of his troops in it. For this, and as a manifestation of his compassion to the huge international community of nations, he will allow aircraft of the West to evacuate Israel’s from the narrow coastal strip to the Negev, and the remaining Jews to the east will be advancing into the Negev as IDF protects their evacuation. Another good reason for his allowing what appears to be an act of mercy is simply that he has no use for the Negev at this time, because he wants to conquer Egypt and start building his Islamic Caliphate from Morocco to New Guinea.

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;

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.

Revelation 12:14 – And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Israel will be surrounded in the Negev Wilderness by Islamic forces for 1260 days.

Daniel 7:24,25 – 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. [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.

The ten horns are Islamic horns existing in what was once the southern flank of the Roman Empire at its maximum extension, as well as the Umayyad Islamic Caliphate at its maximum extension. the 7th beast empire foretold in Revelation 17:11, which went into perdition (destruction), refers to the great Islamic Empire more than 500 years after John wrote Revelation, which went into perdition, but is currently the same beast now being resurrected as the 8th Beast directed by its Antichrist King who, like the King of the seventh beast, is also Islamic.

The first King head on the beast of Revelation 17 represents the Egyptian Kingdom, the second the Assyrian, the third the Babylonian, the fourth the Medo-Persian, the fifth the Grecian, the sixth the Roman, the seventh the Umayyad Islamic Caliphate, and the eighth the Islamic Caliphate Kingdom of Antichrist.

Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Whatever the case, after Antichrist traps Israel in the Negev Wilderness, a truce is declared which has been brokered by the United Nations, such that even though Antichrist has not conquered Israel, she shall be “in his hand” while Jerusalem is being trodden under foot by the Gentiles some 42 months until the Second Advent.

Isaiah 26:20,21 – 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.

Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

Luke 21:25,26 – 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.

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.

Egypt Prepares For Second Anniversary Of January 25 Revolution Amid Unprecedented Tension Between Muslim Brotherhood And Opposition Camp

By: N. Shamni and H. Varulkar*

Introduction
The anniversary of the January 25, 2011 Egyptian revolution will be marked this year amid considerable tension between the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and President Mursi’s supporters on the one hand, and the opposition on the other. These tensions not only failed to abate following the approval of the constitution by referendum, but even worsened, and there are fears that they will peak ahead of the anniversary of the revolution, leading to violent confrontations between the two sides.

The tension between the pro- and anti-Mursi camps recently developed into a direct confrontation between MB General Guide Muhammad Badi’ and the opposition, and especially with the opposition-affiliated media, which published unprecedented criticism against Badi’ calling to send him to prison and even to hell. Tensions escalated even further after Badi’ published a letter on the MB website in which he praised self-sacrifice and martyrdom (istishhad), which was interpreted as a call to MB supporters to confront the protestors on January 25, 2013 and even give up their lives in the fight against them.

The National Salvation Front – the umbrella organization of the opposition – which called on Egyptians to participate in mass demonstrations on January 25 in Cairo’s Al-Tahrir Square and throughout Egypt in an attempt to repeal the constitution, promised that the protests would be nonviolent. However, various revolutionary youth organizations explicitly issued calls on their Facebook pages for violence on January 25 in order to topple the MB regime.

Another factor that has contributed to the tension is protest by the Ultras (fanatical soccer club supporters),[1] especially the Ultras Ahlawy, the fan club of the Al-Ahly soccer team. The Ultras Ahlawy demand the death penalty for the accused in the February 1, 2012 events at Port Said stadium, in which dozens of people died, and they are blaming the Mursi regime for delays in the trial.

Various elements in Egypt have expressed serious fears of violent confrontations on January 25, which caused the MB to cancel its own plans for a mass rally marking the anniversary of the revolution. Instead, it has opted to mark the occasion with social activities, such as planting trees, cleaning villages, offering medical treatment to the sick, and renovating schools. Some regions in Egypt have even declared a state of emergency ahead of the January 25 events, and have raised their level of alert.[2]

This report will survey the escalating tensions between Mursi’s supporters and the opposition leading up to the anniversary of the revolution, and the preparations by each side, including their use of Facebook to call for violence on this day.

Tensions Continue Following Approval Of Constitution

National Salvation Front Vows To Repeal Constitution, Calls For Protests On January 25

The Mursi regime and the MB hoped that the approval of the new constitution by referendum would usher in a new phase of stability and alleviate the tensions between Mursi’s supporters and the opposition. Instead, tensions continued and even escalated. The opposition, led by the National Salvation Front, announced that it would continue its struggle for the future of Egypt and would act to amend the constitution. A communiqué it released after the publication of the referendum results stated: “We are all willing to sacrifice our bodies and souls to achieve the goals of the revolution.”[3] National Salvation Front leader Hamdeen Sabahi even announced that the front would work to repeal the constitution,[4] and the deputy chairman of the opposition party Al-Dustour, Ahmad Al-Bar’i, said that the heads of the National Salvation Front would lead protests to promote this demand.[5]

The opposition decided to express its protest against the constitution and against Mursi’s policies on the second anniversary of the revolution, January 25, 2013. The April 6 movement called to participate in these January 25 demonstrations “in order to topple the constitution and object to it in all possible ways.”[6] Similarly, the National Salvation Front issued a communiqué calling to participate in the protests against the legitimacy of the constitution on January 25.[7]

MB On Opposition: Extremist Secularists, Traitors To The Homeland, Members Of The Old Regime

The MB website and the pro-Mursi press, for their part, published articles harshly attacking the opposition. They accused it of corruption, of betraying the homeland, and serving its own partisan interests, and of using violence to destroy Egypt and instigate chaos. They described the opposition leaders as fuloul (remnants of the Mubarak regime) who had been behind Mubarak’s thugs, and as extremist secularists who hate Islam and wish to eliminate Egypt’s Islamic identity. The articles also accused certain Egyptian “media,” which they did not identify by name, of receiving foreign funding, spreading lies and harming the president’s honor.[8]

MB General Guide Praises “Martyrdom” In The Political Struggle

Tensions peaked on December 31, 2012, after MB General Guide Dr. Muhammad Badi’ published a letter on the MB website which many in the opposition saw as inciting to violence during the January 25 demonstrations. In the letter, Badi’ praised martyrdom and jihad, while attacking those “who do not want the best for Egypt, its people, and our nation,” and who want “to thwart the democratic process of change, to abandon the will of the people, to spread lies, [and] to sow fitna… in order to achieve their main goal, [which is] to thwart the Islamic project and its supporters…”

Badi’ added: “My dear brothers, it will be very difficult for us if one of our brothers or children is harmed or hurt, let alone injured or killed. We will long to redeem him [by giving] our own lives [instead of his] if there is a way to do so. However, it is Allah’s will that chooses the martyrs, and if people are injured it is a test from God, [to see if we] can deal with the threats to our blessed revolution and defend the will of the people. It is our duty to take firm decisions if there is confirmed and ongoing news that causes us to feel that there is real danger threatening our country and people. I trust your understanding and your willingness to sacrifice for the revival of our homeland without the slightest hesitation.”[9] Moreover, on January 5, 2013, the website of the MB in the Dakahliyya governorate published a response letter to Badi’ by MB activists in which they expressed their willingness to sacrifice their lives and spill their blood for the religion, in order to restore its glory.[10]

It should be mentioned that, alongside the calls for self-sacrifice, Badi’s letter, as well as other recent statements by him, included calls for unity, for finding common ground between all political streams, and for avoiding accusations of treason. However, these statements did not alleviate the opposition’s fury at the inflammatory statements in his letter.

Opposition Elements: Badi’ Is Inciting Civil War And Belongs In Prison

Opposition elements, led by the National Salvation Front, claimed that Badi’s statements incite killing and terrorism and deepen the schism in Egypt. The National Salvation Front reiterated its call for nonviolent mass demonstrations on January 25 in Al-Tahrir Square, outside the presidential palace in Cairo, and in other locations throughout Egypt, in protest over Badi’s statements.[11] Dr. Ahmad Darrag, a founding member of the Mohamed ElBaradei’s Al-Dustour party, said that Badi’ should be prosecuted for his statements, which, he said, include a clear call for civil war and killing Egyptians. Darrag added that the MB has turned from a political organization into a terrorist one.[12]

The escalation of the opposition’s criticism towards the MB and Badi’ was apparent even before he published his letter. One example is a harsh article published on December 9, 2012, by Ahmad Samir, a columnist for the daily Al-Masri Al-Yawm. The article came in reaction to violent confrontations that took place between Mursi supporters and opponents outside the presidential palace on December 4, in which seven civilians were killed and over 350 were injured.[13] Samir accused Badi’ of sending MB activists to disperse the demonstrations by Mursi’s opponents, and wrote: “Send your supporters to disperse [one more] demonstration… and the living among us will send you to prison, as you deserve, and the dead among us will send you to hell, as you deserve… This is not a threat, but a promise.”[14]

Badi’s letter only increased the opposition’s fury and sparked further articles against him, published mainly in opposition-affiliated papers such as Al-Masri Al-Yawm and Al-Wafd. Al-Masri Al-Yawm columnist Ziad Al-‘Alimi wrote an article titled “Dear General Guide, You Belong in Prison,” in which he said: “[Badi’s] letter includes a clear call to use violence against Egyptians in order to protect the interests of the secret movement [he] leads, which now controls Egypt… This man [Badi’] does not care about the Egyptian blood that could be spilled as a result of his incitement to violence. He does not [even] care about the blood of the members of his own movement, whom he encourages to kill Egyptian [civilians], and whom he exposes to [the danger of] death in order to achieve his goals and remain in power at all costs… [Badi’,] your calls for violence and killing will land you in prison again…”[15]

Similarly, Muhammad Sha’ban, a columnist for the newspaper of the Al-Wafd party, wrote that Badi’ was pushing the country into civil war after usurping power, and was staining the political landscape with the blood of martyrs. He wrote: “If anti-MB protestors are martyred [during the January 25 demonstrations], Badi’ will be responsible, since he has incited [his followers] to fight them.”[16] Another article published in Al-Masri Al-Yawm called Badi’s letter “a declaration of war” on those calling for a civil state, adding that “the General Guide and his movement insist on drowning the homeland in a sea of blood…”[17]

Another factor that contributed to the tensions between the sides were reports in the Egyptian press that the MB has militias and even a secret armed organization called “Division 95,” which took part in violent action against protestors during the January 25 revolution.[18]

Revolutionary Youth Organizations And Ultras Clubs Threaten Violent Demonstrations
Notwithstanding assurances by various National Salvation Front spokesmen stressing that the January 25 demonstrations would be nonviolent, fears to the contrary have not abated. According to a report in Al-Masri Al-Yawm, the revolutionary youth movements have declared that January 25 will not be a day for celebrating the revolution, as the MB wishes, but rather a day for emphasizing the demands of the revolution that have not yet been met – namely the demands for freedom, social justice, and punishment for the murderers of the revolution’s martyrs. The movements said further that they would call to repeal the new constitution and would express their opposition to the MB General Guide’s control of the country.

They explicitly announced that they would not allow MB activists into Al-Tahrir Square, and warned that they would “break the legs of any MB activists” who dared to come there. One activist even said that January 25 would be a “day of rage,” during which demonstrators would express their ire over the “Muslim Brotherhoodification” of the country.[19] Other opposition activists called on the Egyptian people to participate in the demonstrations “in order to complete the revolution” and “topple the MB movement, the general guide, and the President and his government.” They added, “This is an historic opportunity to restore the revolution that was hijacked by political Islam.”[20]

9 die in Egypt violence on anniversary of uprising

Protesters are shot dead in Suez during nationwide demonstrations against President Morsi turn violent

Reuters

Nine people were shot dead in the Egyptian city of Suez during nationwide protests against President Mohamed Morsi on Friday, the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.

One of the dead was a member of the security forces, medics said. Another 450 people, including civilians and security personnel were injured, officials said, in demonstrations fuelled by anger at the president and his Islamist allies in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thousands of opponents of Morsi massed in Cairo’s Tahrir Square – the cradle of the revolt against Mubarak – to rekindle the demands of a revolution they say has been hijacked by Islamists who have betrayed its goals.

Street battles erupted in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and Port Said. Arsonists attacked at least two state-owned buildings as symbols of government were targeted. An office used by the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party was also torched.

The Jan. 25 anniversary laid bare the divide between the Islamists and their secular rivals.

This schism is hindering the efforts of Morsi, elected in June, to revive an economy in crisis and reverse a plunge in Egypt’s currency by enticing back investors and tourists.

Inspired by the popular uprising in Tunisia, Egypt’s revolution spurred further revolts across the Arab world. But the sense of common purpose that united Egyptians two years ago has given way to internal strife that had already triggered bloody street battles last month.

“Our revolution is continuing. We reject the domination of any party over this state. We say no to the Brotherhood state,” Hamdeen Sabahy, a popular leftist leader, told Reuters.

The Brotherhood decided against mobilizing for the anniversary, wary of the scope for more conflict after December’s violence, stoked by Morsi’s decision to fast-track an Islamist-tinged constitution rejected by his opponents.

The Brotherhood denies accusations that it is seeking to dominate Egypt, labeling them a smear campaign by its rivals.

Death in Suez

There were conflicting accounts of the lethal shooting in Suez. Some witnesses said security forces had opened fire in response to gunfire from masked men.

News of the deaths capped a day of violence which started in the early hours. Before dawn in Cairo, police battled protesters who threw petrol bombs and firecrackers as they approached a wall blocking access to government buildings near Tahrir Square.

Clouds of tear gas filled the air. At one point, riot police used one of the incendiaries thrown at them to set ablaze at least two tents erected by youths, a Reuters witness said.

Skirmishes between stone-throwing youths and the police continued in streets around the square into the day. Ambulances ferried away a steady stream of casualties.

Protesters echoed the chants of 2011’s historic 18-day uprising. “The people want to bring down the regime,” they chanted. “Leave! Leave! Leave!” chanted others as they marched towards the square.

“We are not here to celebrate but to force those in power to submit to the will of the people. Egypt now must never be like Egypt during Mubarak’s rule,” said Mohamed Fahmy, an activist.

There were similar scenes in Suez and Alexandria, where protesters and riot police clashed near local government offices. Black smoke billowed from tires set
In Cairo, police fired tear gas to disperse a few dozen protesters trying to remove barbed-wire barriers protecting the presidential palace, witnesses said. A few masked men got as far as the gates before they were beaten back.

Islamists Torch More Sufi Shrines in Tunisia

(AFP)

The Sidi Ali Ben Salem mausoleum in Gabes was totally destroyed by fire, and in Douz, the Sidi Ahmed al-Ghout mausoleum was also set on fire on Thursday, Tunisian police said.

Sufi officials in Tunisia put the blame on Salafists, accusing them of a systematic campaign to destroy Sufi sanctuaries.

“The people behind all the attacks are Wahhabis,” a Salafist branch of Islam rooted in Saudi Arabia, said Mazen Sherif, the deputy head of a Sufi group.

Saudi Arabia sent death-row inmates to Syria to wage Jihad against the Syrian government in exchange for commuting their sentences.

According to a secret memo dated April 17, 2012, the Saudi Kingdom negotiated with 1,239 inmates, offering them a full pardon and a monthly salary for their families in exchange for “their training in order to send them to Jihad in Syria.”

Loyalists to Dominate Jordan’s New Parliament

Members of previous rubber-stamp parliaments and tribal figures who run patronage networks aided by their ties to Jordan’s authorities were among the parliamentary winners announced Thursday by Jordan’s election commission. While other seats went to leftist and Islamist opposition figures, the elections – part of a package of changes offered by King Abdullah II – seemed unlikely to quell the simmering discontent that has posed a challenge to his rule.

In Jordan, the Brotherhood Loses

The Jordanian election on Wednesday was for a 150-seat parliament that, for the first time, will have a say in appointing a prime minister and cabinet – ending the king’s exclusive hold on the executive branch of government. At least 10% of the seats were reserved for women, but early results indicate they may win twice as many.

But the big surprise is that the election marks a major setback for the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic Action Front, the Brotherhood’s Jordanian branch, boycotted the voting after King Abdullah II refused its demands for major reductions in his powers before elections were held. By excluding itself from the new political process, the Jordanian Brotherhood set itself against the spectrum of political opinion in the kingdom – including several more moderate Islamist groups and scores of politicians with strong local roots.

During a one-hour session each week, students were taught to climb down buildings on ropes, jump through obstacle courses and crawl under barbed wire. The oldest students are trained to use light weapons, while younger ones train with wooden rifles. Each participant is assigned to a security officer who oversees their training.
