Return to the Cold War to Prepare for a Future Hot War!

It seems that the opponents of the Free World have decided to “lay back” for awhile and prepare for a major future war.
I think they are finally coming to realize they cannot possible defeat Israel until they have a much great greater strength level than they now possess. It will be interesting to watch for signs of such actions at all levels. The two articles which follow lend some credence this opinion. I believe we are entering into an era of false “peace and safety.” It will be necessary for the enemies of Israel to have a better trained military structure around Israel on land and sea than they now have in place. I believe this action is now being implemented, but is unlikely to reach a sufficient level of attainment before 2010.
As I stated in the last blog, “I believe we are going to experience a few years where Russia, China, all the Islamic nations, the United States, Europe, Israel, and the terrorists are all preparing for war.”
It will be a return to the Cold War tactics of threat and counter threat for several years, but this time it will eventually turn into a Middle East hot war, which will culminate at Armageddon.
Daniel 11:40 – And AT THE TIME OF THE END shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, AND WITH MANY SHIPS; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Numbers 24:23,24 – And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! [24] AND SHIPS SHALL COME from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

DEBKAfile Reports: Russia launches first naval power build-up in the Mediterranean in response to the US about-face on Iran
December 5, 2007, 9:19 PM (GMT+02:00)
President Vladimir Putin and defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov decided to send a sortie of six Russian warships, led by the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier and the Moskva guided missile cruiser, to the Mediterranean.
This will be the first prolonged stay of a Russian carrier to the eastern Mediterranean vicinity of Israel’s shores and waters patrolled by the US Sixth Fleet.
On its decks are 47 warplanes and 10 helicopters.
The Moskva is the Russian Navy’s Black Sea flagship.
According to our Moscow sources, the Kremlin is determined not to be left lagging behind the new Bush administration’s steps towards an accommodation with Iran, which were signaled by the US National Intelligence Estimate absolving Tehran of running a military nuclear program from 2003.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the Russian fleet, which has already set out for its new mission from the North and Black Seas, will have the use of naval facilities at Syria’s Tartous port. Its presence for several months will be a complication for the Israel navy’s operations oppo site
the Lebanese and Syrian coasts, especially if the Russians are joined at Tartous by Iranian submarines or warships.
The Kremlin also decided to send
a sortie of ships to the northeastern Atlantic.

‘Al Quds’: Gaza groups weigh cease-fire
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
December 8, 2007
Fears of an IDF incursion into Gaza have prompted top officials from Palestinian factions to hold a series of intensive meetings in Damascus and the Strip aimed at reaching a ceasefire with Israel, Al-Quds al-Arabi reported on Saturday.
According to the London-based newspaper, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal discussed
the possibility of a cease-fire with Islamic Jihad head Ramadan Shalah in Damascus.
In addition, Hamas officials from Gaza and Damascus met military leaders from Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) and Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades in order to draft a ceasefire according to which rocket fire would be stopped in exchange for the IDF steering clear of the Gaza Strip.
Islamic Jihad sources told the newspaper that the group had welcomed the Hamas proposal, however, it conditioned the offer on Israel also stopping its mortar-shell fire and targeted assassinations.
Al-Quds noted that the Egyptian government expressed willingness to mediate between Israel and the Palestinian factions.
The sources added that Shalah visited Qatar on Wednesday in an effort to clarify to the Arab world the tragic consequences of an Israeli invasion of Gaza.
In addition, the newspaper quoted Palestinian sources as saying that al-Qaida had begun to operate extensively in the Gaza Strip and in areas of the West Bank. According to the sources, several members of Hamas’s military wing had joined al-Qaida-inspired terror cells.
