NOT A BAD IDEA!

Every nation has a war contingency plan. And, the smaller the country, the more imperative is the requirement for a detailed war contingency evacuation plan.
Israel began to formulate, plan, and build her evacuation area in the early fifties.
She chose the only reasonable zone, the Negev wilderness. The Negev comprises more than one-third of the total land area of Israel, beginning just north of Beersheba, and extending all the way southward to the Gulf of Aqaba. Why was the Negev the only reasonable area? From the historical prospective, the majority of Israel’s major conquerors have come down from the north.
Even Nebuchadnezzar, whose great empire began to the east of Israel in Babylonia, first went northwest through southern Syria to eventually attack Israel from the north.
Once Israel had signed a peace treaty with Egypt, and then with Jordan, it became evident to her political and military leaders, that they had been correct in selecting the Negev.
At present, it appears very unlikely that an all out penetrating attack will be made against Israel from any zone other than the Syria-Lebanon area. An attack will come out of the Gaza Strip, but it will be as an aid to the major attack from the north.
Some minister, no one knows who, during the early part of the last century, visited Petra in Jordan, and formed an erroneous opinion, which has become very popular among many teachers of prophecy. Whoever he was, his military training was sadly lacking, for he looked Petra over, and decided it would make a great defensive position for Israel to occupy, that is, if she ever had to flee her homeland. As a graduate of a military academy, and a retiree from the USAF-NSA, I can assure you, Petra is
the worst possible place to evacuate the survivors of a successful Arab attack against Israel.
I doubt if the one who first advanced this idea actually walked all the way through Petra’s narrow northern entrance and then continued to walk out on the vast open plain to the southwest. Petra may have been a great place to defend in biblical times with the weaponry of those days, but it would be impossible to defend today.
Zechariah 13:8 – 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.
But there are other compelling reasons why Israel would never flee to Petra. There are no natural water sources at Petra. Water collection by its ingenious ancient inhabitants from desert thunderstorms was never able to support a population of more than 20,000. And food production in the soil horizons of this area could never support the evacuation of one-third of Israel’s population. It is also a certainty that the modern day occupants of Jordan would not offer to help Israel escape the Antichrist. But the belief that Israel will flee to Petra has become so popularized by many prominent ministers, it makes it very difficult to dissuade most followers of prophetic events.
However, the fact that Israel has spent billions and billions of dollars turning the Negev into the most fortified, best camouflaged, zone on the earth, gives me the assurance that this is the place the woman Israel, who is described as going into the wilderness in the 12th Chapter of Revelation, will soon end up for the last three and one-half years of the tribulation period.
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.
The Article by Yaakov Katz in the Jerusalem Post is about getting the public ready for the initial stages of an all out attack. But if the initial attack is successful, and Israel finds herself being driven south, she will immediately begin evacuating as many civilians as possible south into the Negev.

Home Front Command to get public ready for ‘all-out war’
Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 31, 2007
With Iran rac ing toward nuclear power and IDF preparations for the possibility of a conflict with Syria and Hizbullah
in high gear, the Home Front Command plans to launch a publicity campaign to prepare the public for war.
Within a few weeks it intends to inform the public about what people need to do in the event of attack.
The campaign was not connected to a specific event or threat but was meant to brace the public for war in general, senior IDF officers said.
“Our job is to prepare for an all-out war,” Col. Hilik Sofer, head of the Home Front Command Population Division, told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday. “We prepare for a wide range of possibilities since it doesn’t make a difference where the threat comes from.”
Several weeks ago, the Home Front Command distributed pamphlets in Netivot and Ashkelon explaining how to behave during a Kassam attack.
Both cities are within 15 kilometers of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF has deployed early warning systems outside Netivot and Ashkelon. They have not been activated, pending government approval.
Next week, Sofer will meet with heads of government offices and local councils to discuss ways to improve service to the public at a time of emergency.
“We know that the Palestinians have Kassams that can reach 12-kilometer distances and even farther,” Sofer said. “And even though Kassams have yet to fall there, we’d best be prepared.”
In March, the Home Front Command, the Israel Police, Magen David Adom, the Fire and Rescue Services and other emergency services held a two-day exercise throughout the country that dealt with extreme scenarios, including mega-terrorist attacks and nonconventional missile attacks.
The drill was the country’s largest ever and implemented lessons from the Second Lebanon War last summer.
