THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST HAS ATTEMPED TO COUNTERFEIT THE BIBLE ACCOUNT OF THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED BY GOD IN HIS REDEMPTIVE SEED JESUS, EVER SINCE CHRIST SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR THE SINS OF MAN.

I John 4:3,4 – This is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even NOW ALREADY is it in the world. [4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

EIGHT BEAST KINGDOMS HAVE OR WILL AFFLICT ISRAEL

THE SEVENTH & EIGHTH 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 CAME BACK TO LIFE (is the eighth), WHICH WILL BE DESTROYED BY GOD (goeth into destruction)

THE ANTICHRIST WILL LEAD THE 8TH ISLAMIC BEAST WHO CAME OUT OF THE 7TH ISLAMIC BEAST. HE IS DEPICTED AS THE BEAST HIMSELF AT TIMES. HE REPRESENTS THE LAST OF EIGHT LINES OF KINGS. (See Parts 12 and 13 of this series.

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 13:3 – And I saw one of his heads as it were WOUNDED TO DEATH; AND ITS DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

When Muslim and old world citizens see the Mahdi recover from a supposedly deadly wound in combat, many of them will believe he has been resurrected to life by Allah, and the second beast in Revelation 13 will say he has performed a miracle by the power of Allah.

Revelation 13:11-14 – And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, WHOSE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED. [13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, AND DID LIVE.

The seventh head on the beast ALSO represents two Islamic Kingdoms separated by hundreds of years, both were started by the same false prophet and are the very essence of the spirit of Antichrist, so they are considered as the same head on the beast, but are identified as the seventh and eighth kingdoms in Revelation 17:9-13.

Revelation 17:9-13 – And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth. [10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] 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.

The seven heads represent the seven kingdoms of Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Greece, Rome, and Islam.

The seven kings represent the lines of kings which are associated with the seven kingdoms. But the last king is “thought” to be the resurrected king of the first Islamic kingdom known as the 12th Imam or al Mahdi, the Islamic version of a Messiah.

Revelation 17:10 – And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

The five lines of kings that were fallen when John wrote Revelation were the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, and Grecian king lines – The “one is” was the Roman line which was still alive when John was writing – The one that had not yet come when John was writing was the Islamic line, which Muhammad brought in long after the New Testament was completed. The last king in the Islamic line of Kings with a DNA link back to the founder of Islam was the 12th Imam, and he only continued a short space before he went into what Shiites call “the occultation.” According to their teachings he has been hidden in deep caverns in the earth until it is time for him to rise again. At which time he will return as the al Madhi, and as the Islamic Messiah, lead them to world conquest. So, the 12th Imam would be the last King of the kingdom destroyed by the Mongolian kingdom’s sword, as well as the current Islamic Kingdom being resurrected from ashes of a dead kingdom.

Head seven is the same Islamic kingdom separated by hundreds of years with the same king.

12th Imam – Muhammad al-Mahdi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Twelver Shi’as Imam Hujjat al-Mahdī (or Hujjat ibn Hasan ibn Ali) is the twelfth Imam and the Mahdi, the ultimate savior of humankind. Other Shi’a schools adhere to different Imam successions and do not, along with Sunnis, consider ibn-Al-Hassan the Mahdi. Twelver Shi’as believe that Mahdi was born in 868 and has been hidden by God (referred to as the Occultation) to later emerge to fulfill his mission.

Birth and early life according to Twelver Shi’a

Twelver Shi’as believe that Mahdi was born in 868 AD as Hujjat ibn Hasan ibn Ali. His mother, Narjis (Melika), was a Byzantine princess who pretended to be a slave so that she might travel from her kingdom to Arabia. His father, Hasan al-Askari, is believed to have been the eleventh and penultimate Shi’a Imam. Shi’as believe that his birth was kept a secret due to the persecution that the Shi’a were facing during this time at the hands of Al-Mu’tamid, the Abbasid Caliph.

To support Mahdi’s claim, Twelver Shi’as quote the following Hadith: “I and `Ali are the fathers of this nation; whoever knows us very well also knows Allah, and whoever denies us also denies Allah, the Unique, the Mighty. And from `Ali’s descendants are my grandsons al¬-Hasan and al-¬Husayn, who are the masters of the youths of Paradise, and from al-¬Husayn’s descendants shall be nine: whoever obeys them obeys me, and whoever disobeys them also disobeys me; the ninth among them is their Qa’im and Mahdi.” (These Hadiths are not recognized as authentic by Sunnis)

The eleventh Shi’a Imam Hasan al-Askari died on 1 January 874 AD (8th Rabi’ al-awwal, 260 AH) and since that day, his son Mahdi is believed by Shi’as to be the Imam, appointed by God, to lead the believers of the era. The most popular account of al-Mahdi in Shi’a literature is taken from his father’s funeral. It is reported that as the funeral prayer was about to begin, al-Mahdi’s uncle, Jafar ibn Ali approached to lead the prayers. However, al-Mahdi approached and commanded, “Move aside, uncle; only an Imam can lead the funeral prayer of an Imam.” Jafar moved aside, and the five-year-old child led the funeral prayer for his father. It is reported that it was at this very moment that al-Mahdi disappeared and went into ghaybat, or occultation.

Significance of the Twelfth Imam

Some hadith indicate significance to the twelfth generation of descendants of the prophet Muhammad.

A hadith from the Shi’a text (Kitab Al-Kafi) containing a conversation between the first Shia Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib and a man named al-Asbagh ibn Nubata, as well as a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim in which Muhammad speaks of Twelve Successors.

From Sahih Bukhari:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: I heard Muhammad saying, “There will be twelve Muslim rulers (who will rule all the Islamic world).” He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, “All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish.”

In a hadith widely regarded as authentic, Muhammad said,

Even if the entire duration of the world’s existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left before the Day of Judgment, God will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person out of Ahl al-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will then fill the Earth with peace and justice as it will have been filled with injustice and tyranny before then.

The Occultation

Main article: The Occultation

Shi’as believe that, for various reasons, God concealed the twelfth and current Shi’a Imam, al-Mahdi, from humankind.

The period of occultation (ghaybat) is believed to consist of two parts:

Ghaybat al-Sughra or Minor Occultation (874-939) is the shorter of the two periods, during which deputies of the Imam maintained communication to the rest of the world.

Ghaybat al-Kubra or Major Occultation began 939 and is believed to continue until a time decided by God, when the Mahdi will reappear to bring absolute justice to the world.

Minor Occultation

Main article: Minor Occultation

During the Minor Occultation (Ghaybat al-Sughra), it is believed that al-Mahdi maintained contact with his followers via deputies (Arab. an-nuwāb al-arbaʕa). They represented him and acted as agents between him and his followers.

Reappearance

Twelver Shi’as cite various references from the Qur’an and reports, or Hadith, from Mahdi and the twelve Shi’a Imams with regard to the reappearance of al-Mahdi who would, in accordance with God’s command, bring justice and peace to the world by establishing Islam throughout the world. Mahdi is reported to have said: “During the last times, my people will be afflicted with terrible and unprecedented calamities and misfortunes from their rulers, so much so that this vast earth will appear small to them. Persecution and injustice will engulf the earth. The believers will find no shelter to seek refuge from these tortures and injustices. At such a time, God will raise from my progeny a man who will establish peace and justice on this earth in the same way as it had been filled with injustice and distress.”

Shi’as believe that al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. At this time, it is believed, half of the true believers will ride from Yemen carrying white flags to Mecca, while the other half will ride from Karbala, in Iraq, carrying black flags to Mecca. At this time, al-Mahdi will come wielding God’s Sword, the Blade of Evil’s Bane, Zulfiqar Ar, the Double-Bladed Sword.

REVELATION 13:3 – And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered AFTER THE BEAST.

II Thessalonians 2:3 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

II Thessalonians 2:8 – 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:

Revelation 19:15,19-21–And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [19] 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.

North Korea holds 3rd nuclear test

‘Unnatural seismic event’ leads South Korea, international experts to conclude North Korea has held another nuclear test. Seoul declares high alert; Security Council to hold emergency meeting

Associated Press

North Korea confirmed on Tuesday it has successfully conducted a third nuclear test, saying it used a miniaturized device that had a greater explosive force than previous tests, the North’s KCNA official news agency said.

“It was confirmed that the nuclear test that was carried out at a high level in a safe and perfect manner using a miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force than previously did not pose any negative impact on the surrounding ecological environment,” KCNA said.

Related stories:

Security Council condemns N. Korea launch

The announcement followed reports in South Korea to that effect, which were made after an earthquake deemed “unnatural” by geophysics monitoring agencies worldwide.

An international nuclear test monitoring agency said on Tuesday an unusual seismic event detected in North Korea showed “clear explosion-like characteristics.”

“The event shows clear explosion-like characteristics and its location is roughly congruent with the 2006 and 2009 DPRK nuclear tests,” said Tibor Tóth, the executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. The DPRK refers to North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

“If confirmed as a nuclear test, this act would constitute a clear threat to international peace and security, and challenges efforts made to strengthen global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, in particular by ending nuclear testing,” Tóth said.

The South Korean Defense Ministry, which raised its military alert level after the quake, said it was trying to determine whether it was a test. Nuclear blasts can create tremors but they are distinct from those caused by natural earthquakes.

Kim Min-seok, a South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman, told reporters that North Korea informed China and the United States of its plans to conduct a nuclear test. It was not clear when Pyongyang told Beijing and Washington.

The test was condemned by the UK and Russia. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned North Korea’s nuclear test, saying it was a “clear and grave violation” of UN Security Council resolutions. The UN Security Council is expected to hold an emergency meeting over the test.

One Western diplomat said he hoped the council would approve an initial statement condemning the nuclear test, and begin work on a more comprehensive council reaction. Getting approval on a council resolution, however, could take weeks.

Japan said it will consider its own sanctions against North Korea: Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he had ordered his government to “consider every possible way to address this issue, including our own sanctions, while cooperating with other countries.”

‘Earthquake man-made’

The US Geological Survey as well as earthquake monitoring stations in South Korea detected an earthquake just north of a site where North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in 2009, according to the government-funded Korea Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources.

“There is a high possibility that North Korea has conducted a nuclear test,” said Chi Heoncheol, an earthquake specialist at the institute. Chi said a magnitude 3.9 magnitude earthquake and a magnitude 4.5 earthquake were detected in the North’s 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.

South Korean, US and Japanese seismic monitoring agencies put the magnitude of Tuesday’s quake at 4.7, 4.9 and 5.2 respectively.

“We think it is possible it came about as a result of a nuclear test by North Korea from looking at past cases,” Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said at a news conference Tuesday, noting that they were still gathering information.

“A natural earthquake normally starts with a smaller tremor followed by a larger one. This quake’s strength was the same throughout,” according to Yosuke Igarashi, an official at the Japan Meteorological Agency. He declined to elaborate on the length of the quake or other details, saying the agency was studying the data.

The United States and its allies have been on edge since North Korea said last month it will conduct its third nuclear test to protest toughened sanctions over a December rocket launch that the UN called a cover for a banned missile test.

North Korea’s politburo vowed to continue firing “powerful long-range rockets,” but a statement by state media Tuesday made no mention of a nuclear test.

North Korea’s National Defense Commission said Jan. 23 that the United States was its prime target for a nuclear test and long-range rocket launches. North Korea accuses Washington of leading the push to punish Pyongyang for its December rocket launch.

Last October, a spokesman from the commission told state media that the country had built a missile capable of striking the United States, but did not provide further details. A missile featured in an April 2012 military parade appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile, but its authenticity has not been verified by foreign experts.

Beijing signaled its unhappiness earlier by agreeing to tightened UN sanctions after North Korea launched a rocket in December, surprising China watchers with its unusually tough line, which prompted harsh criticism from Pyongyang.

US withdrawal from Europe-based missile shield will impact Israel’s defense

DEBKAfile Special Report

February 11, 2013, 12:05 AM (GMT+02:00)

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday, Feb. 10 echoed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rejection of direct talks with the US four days ago which he said were on the grounds that they “would solve nothing” because, “You are holding a gun against Iran.”

Ahmadinejad added is own rider to this dismissal: “God willing, soon Iran’s satellite will be located in orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, next to others from four or five advanced powers and it will relay a message of peace and fidelity to the world,” he said.
The boast that Iran would soon be the world’s sixth space power came two weeks after Tehran claimed to have put a monkey in orbit around earth, although it did not report bringing back to earth either the space capsule or the monkey.

Indeed, US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland, pouring a healthy dose of skepticism on the very existence of the project, commented: “The Iranians said they sent a monkey, but the monkey they showed later seemed to have different facial features.”

Tehran is again caught wandering at ease through its favorite terrain between fact, hyperbole and fiction about its achievements, whether in space or its nuclear program.

In recent weeks, reelected Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed he wants a broad government coalition for the critical objective of preventing Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.

The question is how does he propose to achieve this when tough US and European sanctions have not just failed to stop Iran in its tracks but accelerated its nuclear progress. Iran is now estimated to be within four months of a nuclear bomb capacity from the moment a decision is taken to build one.

Those months are critical: On February 25 the five UN Security Council’s permanent members plus Germany sit down with Iran in Kazakhstan for a fresh round of negotiations. Former rounds in this format led nowhere and no breakthrough is expected this time either beyond, at best, a date for a continuation.

On March 20, President Barack Obama arrives in Israel for the first foreign trip of his second term. The purpose of his visit is plain, except to Netanyahu’s domestic rivals: Facing a 50 percent cutback in military spending, the Obama administration cannot credibly threaten to go to war against a recalcitrant Iran. But the US president may still wave the Israeli military option in Tehran’s face.

Not that the ayatollahs are likely to be impressed. Khamenei and Ahmadinejad have both dismissed talks with Washington “with a gun” at their head, meaning that they are not scared of the Israeli gun the Americans are putting to their heads.

In fact, the Islamic rulers of Tehran are reported by DEBKAfile’s intelligence and Iranian sources to be fully confident that they are home and dry as a nuclear power after a secret US Pentagon research study was leaked that “casts doubt on whether the multibillion-dollar missile defense system planned for Europe” (originally by the Bush administration) “can ever protect the US from Iranian missiles as intended.”

Clearly the missile shield against Iran, which aroused ire in Moscow, looks like falling under the defense budget axe.

The missile shield in Europe was also designed to defend Israel and Turkey against Iranian ballistic missile attack. Leaving it unfinished because of “flaws” exposes both those countries to such attack.

President Obama will no doubt tell Netanyahu that the system for intercepting medium-range Iranian missiles is to be scrapped. However, he will have to take into account that if the Iranians do finally manage to put a capsule in orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, they will be able to fire a ballistic missile at any point on earth as well, including the United States. Even if they did fail to put a primate in space, they will keep on trying and advancing until they get there.

Salafi-Jihadis in Jordan Stage ‘Martyrs’ Weddings’ to attract youth To Jihad

By: L. Barkan*

Introduction

The forces fighting against Assad’s regime in Syria include foreigners who have come to take part in the uprising alongside the Syrian rebels. Among them are members of Jordan’s Salafi-jihadi movement, which, according to its senior leaders, has so far dispatched some 250 fighters to Syria. As one means of encouraging Jordanian youths to join its ranks and adopt the ideology of jihad and martyrdom, the Salafi-jihadi movement stages “martyrs’ weddings” for fighters killed in Syria, based on the Islamic belief that every martyr is rewarded with 72 black-eyed virgin brides in Paradise.

These “weddings” are not a new phenomenon. The Salafi-jihadi stream in Jordan has held similar ceremonies in the past for Jordanian fighters who died in Afghanistan and Iraq, most notably for Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Mus’ab Al-Zarqawi, killed in 2006, and Jordanian Al-Qaeda operative Raed Al-Bana, who carried out the February 2005 attack in the Iraqi city of Al-Hilla, killing 132.

“Martyrs’ Weddings” – Propaganda For Jihad And Martyrdom

‘Abd Al-Fateh Shehadeh, aka Abu Muhammad Al-Tahawi, a senior figure in the Jordanian Salafi-jihadi movement, told the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq that such “weddings” have so far been held for 18 Jordanian Salafi-jihadi fighters killed in Syria, explaining that these celebrations serve to propagate the ideology of jihad and martyrdom: “We uphold this tradition [in order to do] da’wa, and to remind [the people] of the advantage of jihad [as a means of] expelling the occupier and spreading da’wa. This, after the gates of da’wa have been closed to us, [so] we use every opportunity to communicate with the public and the people and enlighten them about martyrdom and jihad.” It should be noted that, a few days prior to the article’s publication, Al-Tahawi was arrested after participating in one such “martyr’s wedding.”

Marwan Shehadeh, an expert on Islamists groups, told Al-Sharq that the purpose of the “martyrs’ weddings” is to attract youths to the idea of jihad and of martyrdom, and encourage them to join the fighting on jihad fronts throughout the Islamic world. Jarrah Al-Qaddah, another leader of the Salafi-jihadi movement in Jordan, said that these ceremonies served as an alternative platform to the media, from which the movement is banned.

Al-Sharq points out that the tradition of “martyrs’ weddings” is not part of the Islamic shari’a; indeed, Al-Tahawi himself admits as much, adding that, for this reason, some senior figures in the Salafi-jihadi movement oppose it. He explains that his stream did not originate the tradition but adopted it from others, such as the secular Palestinian movements Fatah, the Democratic Front and the Popular Front. He adds that Hamas, too, has recently taken up the tradition.

Al-Tahawi: We Explain To The Youths Who Attend The Ceremonies That Those Who Die For Islam Marry The Black-Eyed Virgins

Abu Muhammad Al-Tahawi explained that the ceremony does not celebrate the martyr’s death but rather the generous reward he is granted in Paradise: “We do not rejoice over the passing or death of any of our brothers, the mujahideen from [our] stream, for death is accompanied by sorrow. But the martyr [himself] rejoices at the reward and grace that Allah bestows upon him if his martyrdom is accepted. With the first drop of blood shed from his body, [his sins] are pardoned, and he weds 72 black-eyed [virgins] of Paradise, dons his crown of honor, and serves as an advocate for 70 of his relatives. Therefore, the people are joyous over this valuable reward from Allah.” Al-Qaddah continued: “We explain to the youths who attend [the ceremony] that he who sacrifices his life in defense of Islam and the land of the Muslims will marry the black-eyed [virgins], his relatives will be pardoned, and his sins will be erased… Some of those who attend these ceremonies are lax in praying and worshipping God. But [after they attend], their hearts soften, they repent, [and they become] preoccupied with the ideas of jihad and martyrdom.”

Videos of these celebrations are also disseminated via the internet. For example, a film uploaded to YouTube shows Al-Tahawi delivering a speech at a “wedding” held in the Al-Baq’a refugee camp, north of Amman, in honor of Muntasir Al-Beiruti, a Palestinian student in Jordan who was killed in Syria in mid-September 2012. According to a report in the Jordanian daily Al-Sabil, Al-Tahawi praised the Jordanian youths who set out to wage jihad in Syria, and also said that, were it not for the Syrian regime and the regimes of other countries neighboring “the Zionist entity,” “the Jewish state would have never existed and would not have remained to this day.” He added that the Jews and their agents were the Muslims’ “enemy number one.” According to the daily, the celebration was attended by hundreds. Sweets and drinks were handed out, and speakers praised the martyrs and called on youths to join the jihad.

Abu Mariyah Al-Filastini, another Salafi-jihadis, has also taken part in several “weddings” for fighters killed in Syria. On his Facebook page, he posted videos of two such events at which he delivered speeches. At the “wedding” of Isma’il ‘Ar’ar from the Al-Baq’a refugee camp, who was killed in Syria in December 2012, the sheikh said: “These fellows are not like others… Death for them means victory, while defeat is an unpardonable [act of] whoredom. These fellows will not throw down their rifles and will not abandon their trenches…” The video shows that children are present, and the crowd is heard chanting: “There is no god but Allah; Bashar is the enemy of Allah.”

In early January 2013, a “wedding” was held in Amman for Muhannad Al-Bakkar, a Syrian youth who had been studying in Jordan but had returned to his native land to fight against the Assad regime. In a video posted on YouTube, one of the “wedding” guests is shown delivering a welcome speech, as follows: “We offer the most beautiful and pure blessings to our groom, our dear and beloved martyr Muhannad Bakkar. We ask Allah, may He be praised and exalted, that we should meet [Al-Bakkar] in the abode of mercy, along with [all] the believers, martyrs and honest men. We, the youths of Amman, who are close to Syria… are your children. Allah willing, we will not find pleasure in this life until we avenge the martyr’s blood… until Judgment Day.”

The guests later sang songs of the Syrian revolution, including a song whose lyrics are: “Oh mother, if death should catch up with me, allow your heart to forgive me. Oh mother, do not cry for me, I am going to Paradise”; “Oh mother, lead me in a new garment [as a groom to the altar]; I have come to you as a martyr… Lead us, rejoice for us.”

Gentile Age war Won’t Start for Several Years Due to Arab Spring – Why?

Too much violence, hatred, different Islam beliefs, & chaos among Horns

To llink 10 before an 11th Horn Antichrist arises to unit and attack Israel

Excerpts in This Blog Render A Partial Description of Internal Islamic Chaos!

I did not anticipate the massive confusion Arab Spring has exposed between Sunni, Shiites, and the other Islamic sects. This confusion and division will continue for the rest of Obama’s time in office, but I do think the last war of the Age of the Gentiles will begin at some point in time during the next non-Obama administration. It will be the time when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.

Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Romans 9:26-28 – And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. [27] Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: [28] For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

Isaiah 10:20-23 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. [21] The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. [22] For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. [23] For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

Romans 11:25-28 – For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

Romans 9:29 – And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

Genesis 19:27-30 – And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: [28] And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. [29] And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. [30] And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

Luke 17:28-30 – Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Syria debate on Hezbollah TV turns soggy

Political debate between pro, anti-Assad regime figures on Al-Manar show nearly turns violent

Roi Kais

February 9, 2013

A heated debate between two guests on a political program aired by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV stations ended with one throwing water in the other’s face. The topic which got them so agitated was the escalating crisis in Syria.

What started as a discussion between Salem Zahrani, who heads a Lebanese media center and is known for his supportive stances for President Bashar Assad, and Asaad Bshara, who opposes the government in Damascus, tuned into a shouting match within seconds.

Zahrani accused Arab television stations of receiving foreign funding and airing biased reports against the Syrian regime; while Bshara accused him of “buying into” the pro-Assad media’s lies.

According to the Lebanon Daily Star, Zahrani then accused Bshara of collaborating with Israel, and called him “an idiot.”

According to the report, Bshara responded with a string of expletives; to which Zahrani responded by throwing throw two glasses of water that were on the table at him.

Al-Manaer quickly pulled the show off the air.

The show resumed several moments later, with both men apologizing to the audience

UN: 5,000 fleeing Syria daily

UNHRC sees disconcerting increase in number of people fleeing Assad’s atrocities; say number of displaced Syrians rapidly approaching 800,000

Associated Press

The UN refugee agency says there has been a huge increase in the number of people fleeing Syria, with 5,000 refugees crossing the borders daily into neighboring countries. Agency spokesman Adrian Edwards said that “5,000 people are now crossing the borders of Syria into other countries every single day, so this is really a full-on crisis right at the moment.”

Edwards told reporters Friday in Geneva that there are now 787,000 Syrians who are registered or being helped as refugees, mainly in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey.

He said that the number shot up by 25% alone in January, and that in mid-December, when the agency issued its response plan for Syria, there were 515,000 refugees.

Another United Nations agency, UNICEF, said in a new assessment that Syrian civilians in conflict zones had only one-third the water supplies of pre-crisis levels, with Aleppo, rural Damascus, Deir al-Zour, Homs, Idlib and Raqqa the most severely afflicted.

According to the UN, as of this week, 260,943 Syrians had registered or were waiting to register as refugees in Lebanon, 242,649 in Jordan; 177,180 in Turkey; and 84,852 in Iraq. At least 15,000 have sought refuge in Egypt.

The UN says that over 65,000 have been killed since the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime erupted in March 2011.

Protesters throw stones, homemade bombs at main gate of presidential palace in Cairo gathered; chant ‘we want to overthrow the regime’; additional anti-Morsi demonstrations held in al-Mahalla al-Kubra, Tanta, Kafr el-Sheikh, El-Santa; at least 45 injured across country

February 8, 2013

Thousands of Egyptians marched and chanted against Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in cities across the country on Friday, scores of them assaulting the presidential palace with petrol bombs and rocks.

Fierce protests erupted late last month over what demonstrators saw as Morsi’s attempts to monopolize power as well as wider political and economic grievances, but the unrest had calmed over the last week.

The main opposition alliance signed an agreement with the ruling Muslim Brotherhood last week rejecting violence and had not officially called for marches on Friday, although some of the alliance’s younger members called for protests.

While the number of protesters has dwindled, distrust of Morsi and the Brotherhood and a sense of political and economic malaise have continued to bring people into the streets.

At least 59 people died in the demonstrations between Jan. 25, second anniversary of the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak two years ago, and Feb. 4.

A few hundred protesters gathered outside the presidential palace in Cairo as night fell, throwing stones and homemade bombs at the main gate. Police fired into the air, shot teargas and drove cars toward the crowd to scatter them.

“The people want to overthrow the regime,” the protesters chanted, turning the trademark slogan of Arab Spring protests against the Islamist-led government it helped bring to power.

At least 45 people were injured during the day across the country, medical sources at the health ministry said

Two years after sweeping autocratic rulers from power, many in Egypt and Tunisia are angry over what they see as an attempt by Islamists to hijack their revolutions without improving their prospects for a better life.

In Tunisia, police and mourners clashed at the mass funeral of secular opposition leader Chokri Belaid, whose assassination on Wednesday plunged the country deeper into political crisis.

Some of the most violent clashes on Friday were in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, hometown of an activist, 23-year-old Mohamed el-Gendi, who was buried there this week after being beaten to death by security men in Cairo.

Television footage showed scores of protesters lobbing petrol bombs at riot police, who responded with teargas to scatter the demonstrators.

“Down, down with the rule of the Supreme Guide,” protesters chanted, referring to Mohamed Badie, leader of the Brotherhood, which has dominated Egypt’s politics since the fall of Mubarak.

In al-Mahalla al-Kubra, another delta town, protesters threw bombs and broke down the door of a city council building as they tried to break in, the state news agency MENA reported. Police fired teargas to disperse them.

The Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party issued a statement on its Facebook page condemning “the attempts of some political forces in al-Mahalla al-Kubra to incite violence and destruction of public property”.

In Kafr el-Sheikh, dozens of protesters pelted police with rocks and tried to storm a government building to demand the removal of the provincial governor, MENA said.

At a subway station near Tahrir Square, epicenter of the 18-day revolt that toppled Mubarak, demonstrators stopped trains by climbing onto the tracks, MENA reported.

In the town of El-Santa in Gharbiya province, protesters threw rocks at the offices of the Freedom and Justice Party, the Brotherhood’s political party, MENA reported.

Part 13 of this Blog Series was issued on this Web Site on February 5, 2013

The 10 crowns on the Revelation 13 horns disappear from the 10 horns on the Revelation 17 beast.

10 Islamic Nations representing the 10 toes of Daniels’s Chapter 2 statue or the 10 horns of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 and 17, will submit their crown power to the authority of the Antichrist before his initial attack on Israel.

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.

The 10 will be empowered for a brief period by their united position with the Antichrist until the 2nd Advent of Christ.

Revelation 17:12 – 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.

The crowns do not appear on the Revelation 17 beast because they have given the power they represent to the 11th beast for some 3 & ½ years (one hour), and Antichrist prevails against Israel during that period, keeping her trapped in the Negev Wilderness.

Daniel 7:20-22 – And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Christ will return at his 2nd Advent with the saved to end the battle of Armageddon and to establish his Millennial Kingdom on earth, and the saints shall possess the Kingdom.

Revelation 17:13,14 – 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.

MANY ARE CALLED TO SERVE HIM BUT VERY FEW DO! IT IS ETERNALLY PROFITABLE TO DO SO!

Romans 8:28 – 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.

MANY ARE CALLED TO SALVATION BUT FEW FOLLOW HIM
THOSE WHO DO GET TO KNOW HIM AND GIVE HIM GLORY!

I Corinthians 1:26-31 – For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: [27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; [28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: [29] That no flesh should glory in his presence. [30] But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. [31] That, according as it is written He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Philippians 3:14,8-17,20,21 – I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: [10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [11] If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. [12] Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. [13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, [14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. [15] Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. [16] Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. [17] Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. [20] For our conversation (permanent home address) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

I Corinthians 15:35-42 – But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? [36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: [37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: [38] But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. [39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. [40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. [41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

I Corinthians 15:50-52 – Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. [51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
