Will All Things Continue As They Are Forever?
June 13, 2007
http://www.tribulatuionperiod.com/
Does Anyone Believe the Middle East Madness will not culmin ate
at Armageddon! Yes, the Vast Majority thinks it will all pass just like it has passed over and over again since man came into existence. After all, man has been like this from the beginning.
We have always had wars – history always repeats itself – nothing to get alarmed about – All things continue in cycles, just like they have from the beginning.
Man has now developed sufficient historical knowledge to understand the principle of conformance in the evolution of cycles, in that all things continue as they were from the beginning. In geology a process known
as uniformaterianism contains the idea that all things continue to evolve from a beginning. Man was prophesied to gain that knowledge before the Second Advent. And he now uses it to say there is no God.
II Peter 3:1-4,8,9 –This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: [2] That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: [3] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, [4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The general consensus of the unbeliever, and at times among some true believers, is that the Middle East situation is just another war episode that will eventually occur, then it will pass, and things will go on until the next war somewhere else. Of course, the unbeliever understands the Second Advent as a fable, and some believers think it is in the far off sweet forever in the land of never-never.
For those believers who think this Middle East conflict is not going to turn into the war that eventually culminates with the final great battle of Armageddon, please consider the following articles. The first two articles are from a Blog titled “THE FORTY YEAR GENERATION,” which we sent out April 2, 2007. The last five articles are a part of this Blog.
If you, as a believer, have reservations about the Middle East situation eventually turning into the final conflict of this age, please read the seven articles that follow.
I have chopped off the last half of the lengthy articles to conserve space.

THE FORTY YEAR GENERATION
2007 Summer Ends a 40 Year Jerusalem Temple Mount Generation!
April 2nd, 2007
2007 Summer Ends a 40 Year Jerusalem Temple Mount Generation!
April 2, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
Things seem to be building up to another battle royal this summer, but I suspect the major conflict will not occur until some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
Remember the 1967 conflict?
June 12, 1967
In the summer of 1967, Arab leaders met in Khartoum in response to the war, to discuss the Arab position toward Israel.
They reached consensus that there should be:
No recognition of the State of Israel.
No peace with Israel.
No negotiations with Israel.
The Hamas position is pretty much the same today!
The two articles which follow, one from the Jerusalem Post and one from the DEBKAfile, have some duplication of information, but give an excellent overview of the current Middle East situation and future war potential possibilities.
There has not been a question in my mind, since we entered this century, that the final war of this age was looming in the immediate future, the only question being how immediate. Those who have read my blogs know my guesstimate has been that the final war will begin at some point in time between 2008 and 2012. I rather doubt it will begin before 2008. However, the fact that the end of the June 1967 forty year generation will occur this summer, would cause me to not be surprised if war were to begin before the Fall.

‘Iran, Syria, and Hizbullah preparing for Summer War’
HERB KEINON and YAAKOV KATZ, THE JERUSALEM OIST
April 1, 2007
Iran, Syria and Hizbullah are preparing defensively for a war in the summer, although they are more worried about an attack from the US than from Israel, OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin told the cabinet on Sunday.
Yadlin said that Israel was following these moves very carefully, and needed to pay close attention to its steps so that they were not misinterpreted and lead to a miscalculation by the other side. Yadlin stressed that the preparations were not for a military offensive against Israel, but rather were of a defensive nature. The IDF is noticing however “an increase in potential for instability” in the Middle East due to a number of processes including the United States failure in Iraq.
The IDF has also begun drawing up plans for the day after the US withdraws its forces from Iraq. The ramifications a premature US withdrawal would have on Israel are defined as “dangerous” and are a major source of concern for the Israeli defense establishment. Assumptions are that following the withdrawal, anarchy would break lose in Iraq and would spread across the Shi’ite-Sunni world.

Israeli military intelligence chief predicts Iran-Hizballah-Syria attack on Israel in summer
April 1, 2007, 9:50 PM (GMT+02:00)
In his briefing to the Israeli cabinet Sunday, April 1, Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, AMAN chief, reported that Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas expect the United States to attack Iran in the summer and they are preparing to retaliate by going to war with Israel. In Yadlin’s view, a proliferation of players and a many imponderables could ignite a conflict, which none of the parties wants – as happened in the Six Day War of 1967.
DEBKAfile analysts note four salient points in Gen. Yadlin’s briefing:
1. His comments came one day after Iran’s chief of staff, Gen. Hassan Fayrouz Abadi, urged the Arabs to hurry up and join Iran in a defense treaty because, he claimed, Israel threatened a war offensive in summer, two months hence. According to the Iranian general, Israel was bent on a “suicide assault” against a number of Arab states to save the Americans from having to pull their troops out of Iraq (sic).
2. Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas may be presumed to be acting on some piece of intelligence that point to a forthcoming US attack some time between April and early September 2007. Therefore, the Middle East faces at least five months of incendiary military instability during with everyone braced for an axe to fall.
3. A coordinated Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah-Hamas attack would lay Israel open to four warfronts and the common weapon to them all: missiles – anti-tank, short-range surface, medium range ballistic and surface-to-air.
4. Hamas threatens to launch the third Palestinian uprising (intifada) against Israel within three months unless the international blockade is lifted and funds are released to the Palestinian Authority.

Moscow Releases Nuclear Fuel for Iran’s Bushehr Reactor
June 12, 2007, 1:12 PM (GMT+02:00)
Russian president Vladimir Putin put teeth in his threats and
his cynically helpful alternative suggestions regarding the deployment of US missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic.
DEBKA-Net-Weekly 304 disclosed on June 8 that the week before the G8 opened in Germany, Moscow released the long-withheld nuclear fuel for Iran’s atomic reactor in Bushehr. It was delivered 24 hours before Israel launched its new military imaging satellite Ofeq-7, bringing forward the Iranian threat to Israel, according to DEBKAfile’ s military
sources. One immediate result has been the stiffening of Tehran’s negative posture, sparking what nuclear watchdog director Mohammed ElBaradei called Monday, June 11, a confrontation that needs to be urgently defused.
His move hits the US where it hurts most: The UN Security Council meets at the end of June to approve harsher sanctions against Iran for continuing to enrich uranium in defiance of previous resolutions. The Russian fuel delivery will substantially dilute the effect of such penalties, especially when the Islamic Republic is about to clinch a deal for the acquisition of long-range ballistic missiles from North Korea (as DEBKA-Net-Weekly 300 revealed on May 11).
Putin developed a complex and well thought out retaliation strategy for America’s missile deployment in East Europe.
Article 2
Mofaz: Hizbullah Back to Pre-War Strength
Herb Keinon and Yaakov Katz
Former Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, in Washington last week at the head of an Israeli team conducting a strategic dialogue with the U.S., said one of the topics under discussion is UN Resolution 1701 which ended the Second Lebanon War. “There is no implementation of 1701, and today Hizbullah is back to the strength it was at before July 12, 2006.
It is not back in its positions right along the border but it is in positions – forest preserve areas – that are close to the border. They have not fulfilled the resolution. The kidnapped soldiers have not been returned; Hizbullah has not been disarmed and dismantled by the Lebanese armed forces or UNIFIL; there is no embargo on the Lebanese-Syrian border; and there is a free flow of weapons to the Hizbullah.” “Now, not only are [Hizbullah] still in southern Lebanon, but they are also building a second military line north of the Litani River. Today they have a double grip – both sides of the Litani.”
“There is linkage between the radical quartet – led by Iran, Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas. Non-government groups like al-Qaeda are also growing stronger.
We have been talking for three to four years about al-Qaeda trying to get a foothold in the Middle East, and there have been attempts to infiltrate Israel.” (Jerusalem Post)
Article 3
Hizbullah “Has Stockpiled Rockets” on Israeli Border
Uzi Mahnaimi
Hizbullah has built a network of underground military bunkers under the feet of UN peacekeeping forces in southern Lebanon close to Israel’s border. It has rebuilt its fighting capability and Israeli intelligence now estimates that it has stockpiled 20,000 rockets. “Since the Israeli forces left, Hizbullah has been building formidable military underground posts under the noses of the UN,” said an Israeli intelligence officer.

Article 4
Peres: Damascus Not Ready for Direct Talks
Aluf Benn and Yoav Stern
Vice Premier Shimon Peres on Sunday played down prospects for relaunching peace negotiations with Syria, saying that the Damascus regime is not ready for direct talks. Peres said: “The problem is the Syrians are not ready and are unwilling to negotiate directly with Israel. They want to do it through the United States. The United States said: ‘Gentlemen, if you want to negotiate, you have to stop being a supporter of terror and you have to stop supporting…the toppling down of the prime minister of Lebanon – stop supporting the Hizbullah.’ And there is where it is stuck for the time being.”
Prime Minister Olmert transmitted a message through a Turkish third party and another individual in April to Syrian President Assad, in which he asked if Syria would agree to end its alliance with Iran, Hizbullah and extremist Palestinian organizations in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights. A source in Olmert’s bureau said Assad’s lack of response showed Syria was not serious. (Ha’aretz)

Syria Continuing to Mobilize for War
23 Sivan 5767, 09 June 07 06:15
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com) The IDF is preparing for a defensive war with Syria, even as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert continues to send messages of peace to President Bashar Assad.
The prime minister told the Syrian president last month that Israel would be willing to withdraw from the Golan Heights if Syria were prepared to make peace, according to the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot. The Syrian ruler responded positively to the offer, the newspaper stated.
The report said Prime Minister Olmert instructed his aides to make contacts with Assad following an hour-long phone conversation with American President George W. Bush in May. The U.S. president reportedly gave his go-ahead for the contacts despite the stated American policy that dissuades Israel from dealing with Syria as long as it supports terrorism.
A number of other government officials are supporting continued efforts to cool down the situation.
IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi has reportedly advised the government to conduct secret negotiations with Syria in the hopes of staving off a conflict. The army chief of staff warned in a speech to the IDF Officers Training School earlier this year, “The IDF is preparing for an escalation on both the Palestinian and the northern fronts.”
