Everyone in the Middle East is preparing for War!
It is Time for Man to Prepare for Who Will End it!

Please take the time to read the following four excerpts concerning the preparations for war in the Middle East. I am well aware I sound like a broken record, and while I do not think it likely that a massive war will break out in the Middle East prior to some point in time between 2010 and 2015, surely it is possible by now for you to understand that a war is inevitable, perhaps even before this time.
My reason for starting this Web Site in 2000 was for this purpose – To advise the readers that whatever you intend to do about receiving Christ as your Savior, or submitting to baptism after you have been saved, or serving him in one of his local churches, you had jolly well better do it NOW!
To those of you who have been successful in fighting off the Holy Spirit every time he convicted you of doing what Paul said was required of you in Acts and Romans to be saved, you had better respond while you still have time by calling on Jesus Christ to save you.
Acts 20:20,21 – And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, [21] Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
If you want the rest that only Christ can give your troubled soul, NOW is the time to be saved. The prophesied events of II Thessalonians 1:7-10, are no longer in the far distant future. You have no guarantee of being physically alive tomorrow on any given day
of your present life. It is time to let Christ give your troubled soul rest NOW in this life.
Matthew 11:28 – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
II Thessalonians 1:7-10 – And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
This was the testimony they believed in that day. It is the testimony of God. Today is the day to believe it, not tomorrow.
I Corinthians 2:1-5 – And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, DECLARING UNTO YOU THE TESTIMONY OF GOD. [2] For I determined not to know ANY THING among you, SAVE JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
[3] And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] THAT YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDON OF MEN, BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD.
I Corinthians 1:18 –For THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.

Hizbullah Militants Training in Iran for Next War with Israel
Nicholas Blanford
In southern Lebanon, Hizbullah has devised new battle plans that include cross-border raids into Israel and has mounted a sweeping recruitment and training drive, even marshaling non-Shiites and former Israeli-allied militiamen into new reservist units. “The holy fighters are completely focused on the next war, even ignoring families and friends.
They are just waiting for the next war,” says Jawad, a Hizbullah fighter. Hizbullah continues to recruit and train new combatants at a furious pace. Many recruits are sent to Iran for 45-day advanced training sessions, according to Hizbullah fighters.
Jawad says he recently returned from Iran, his second trip in a year, where he was taught how to fire antitank missiles. “The holy fighters are leaving universities, shops, places of work to go and train,” he says.
New tactics are being taught, including how to “seize and hold” positions. “Next time, we will be on the offensive and it will be a totally different kind of war,” said one local commander. Jawad says that the next war will be “fought more in Israel than in Lebanon.” Hizbullah fighters presently are deployed along a new front line above the Litani River, north of the area patrolled by UNIFIL. In the past 18 months, Hizbullah has purchased land from local Druze and Christians, constructed an entire Shiite-populated village, and turned the area into sealed-off military zones.
“There are armed and uniformed Hizbullah men crawling all over the hills.
We often hear gunfire and explosions from their training,” says one local resident.

Hizbullah Leader Warns of Offensive on Israel
A high-ranking Hizbullah official told the Syrian magazine Al-Hakika that the party would launch an offensive on Israel in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 in case of a new war, the Iranian news agency Fars reported.
“In case they wage any war in the future…there will be a counter attack behind the front lines…and for the first time since 1948 in Palestine itself,” the official said.

Assad: Syria is preparing for war
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
April 17, 2008
Syria sees war with Israel as a real possibility, and is preparing for such an event, Syrian President Bashar Assad said Wednesday to Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar. Nevertheless, he said that the likelihood of war with Israel breaking out is low under the current circumstances.
Speaking to a group of Arab intellectuals, the Syrian president added that whilst war was not a preferable option, “if Israel declares war on Lebanon and Syria or if America declares war on Iran,” Damascus will be prepared.
“We must keep American interest in mind,” continued Assad. “In the last Lebanon war it was evident that Israel wanted to pull out at a specific time, however the American government forced them to continue.”
He added that “we know there is someone in the American government who is interested in this war, and we are preparing for it.”
In contrast, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Thursday that Israel and Syria have been exchanging messages to clarify expectations of any future peace treaty. “They know what we want from them, and I know full well what they want from us,” he told Ma’ariv.

War with Israel is possible and we are getting ready – Assad
April 17, 2008, 1:31 PM (GMT+02:00)
The Syrian ruler Bashar Assad made this statement in a speech in Damascus reported Thursday, April 17.
Earlier this week, DEBKAfile’s military sources reported that Damascus has deployed the 10th armored corps at the Massaneh crossing of Mount Hermon. It links up with the northwestern positions the 14th division took up last month on the Syrian-Israeli border which cuts through the Hermon range.
Syrian troops are now strung along a continuous crescent-shaped line from the central Lebanese mountains through Mt Dov on the western slopes of Mt. Hermon and up to southeastern Lebanon. This deployment, commanding Syria’s Israeli and Lebanese borders, is under the command of the president’s brother, Maher Assad.
The 10th armored corps was moved forward straight after Syria’s snap civil defense exercise which crashed after three hours last Thursday, April 10. The exercise was ordered without notice by president Bashar Assad on the last day of Israel’ s five-day homeland defen
se drill.
DEBKAfile’s military sources are criticizing Israel officials for attributing Syria’s latest military movements to domestic troubles inside the Syrian leadership. They say this is throwing sand in the public’s eyes and at one with the government’s practice of playing down all the heightened military threats to Israel – whether from Syria, the Lebanese Hizballah or the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza.
The IDF’s Northern Command officers report that the Syrian army’s buildup opposite Israel has accelerated in April and warn that its units are arrayed for a quick transition to attack mode.
The link-up between Syria’ s 10th and 14th divi
sions on the border running through Mt Hermon should have been a wake-up call for the government in Jerusalem, they say, and elicited counter-moves to show Damascus that Israel is ready to meet every contingency.
Sunday, April 13, prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met briefly to rough out the position Abbas will put before President George W. Bush whom he meets at the White House in ten days. Olmert made the gesture of licensing the entry to Israel of 5,000 Palestinian construction workers. This gesture was challenged by security services as a carrying the risk of terrorist infiltration and by economic leaders who say the Palestinians will take Israeli jobs.
