The mood swing by Syria and its representatives over the last couple of months has been quite remarkable.
I believe Syria, Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas, and the bulk of the other terrorist states and organization have finally come to understand they cannot defeat Israel unless she is lulled into some form of a peace and safety mindset. I believe the enemies of Israel are now working to give Israel that kind of mindset. It will take time to generate such a mindset, which is one of the reasons I do not expect a Middle East War in 2008 or 2009, but have chosen the time frame from 2010 to 2015 as the most likely time for such an attack, and the beginning of the final Middle East war of the Gentile Age.
I believe the odds of war after 2010 begins will increase each year, and that it will have broken out by 2015.
I believe what I wrote in Archive Prophecy Update Number 12, which we issued more than seven years ago, is now finally coming to fruition.

PROPHECY UPDATE 12
March, 2001
The Apostle Paul had a deep spiritual burden for his own people, the nation of Israel. His born again heart longed for them to forsake their unbelief by turning to Jesus as their Messiah. He expresses this desire in Romans 10:1 as he states: “Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.” There is no question that Paul saw Israel as being in unbelief.
But he knew that some future day they would believe, and consequently be grafted back into God’ s olive tree,
from which they had been broken off because of their unbelief. He stated this principle in Romans 11:20, as he wrote: “Well, because of unbelief they were broken off.” But he goes on in verse 23 to indicate they will one day believe, and thereby restored to being part of God’s olive tree. He writes, “And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.” I said all this to explain the words “they” and “them” in I Thessalonians 5:3, where Paul states: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh on them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” Paul, in his use of “they” and “them,” is referring to the nation of Israel in unbelief. However, it would also in part apply to all unbelievers in the last days.
So why have I given this discourse? The word translated as “safety” is “asphaleia,” which means “the security one experiences when standing on something that is firmly fixed. It gives the one standing on it a sense of “not falling.” The last four leaders of Israel have worn out the following expression: “We must have a peace with security.” We have heard it used hundreds of times on the media, and it has been printed over and over again in countless articles. Why is this important? God indicates a time will come when Israel actually believes she has “a peace with security.” Why is it so important that we understand this prediction
? Because we can know that the final war, involving Israel’s Islamic neighbors, will not occur until it is fulfilled! Israel must be lulled into a false sense of security before any united Islamic attack against her can be successful. Until this happens, and it will, I merely wait for it to come to pass. Then, when peace and security for Israel does appear to arrive in the Middle East, you can know that the final war of this age is about to occur. Don’t believe all these terrorist attacks will suddenly cause the final war of this age to begin.
It is only when they cease that you can know the last war, which finally produces Armageddon some 3 and ½ years after it begins, is imminent.
Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post
Syrian US ambassador: Let’s make peace
July 28, 2008
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
“Here’s the grand thing on offer: Let us sit together, let us make peace, let us end once and for all the state of war,” said Syrian Ambassador to the US Imad Mustafa in a recorded statement aired by Army Radio on Monday .
Mustafa is considered a senior diplomat and close confidante of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Mustafa made the dovish statements in an interview he gave to Americans for Peace Now, an organization affiliated with the left-wing organization Peace Now.
Mustafa said the current Turkish-mediated talks were an “historic opportunity” for Israel to make peace not only with Syria, but also
with the rest of the Arab world.
“We desire to end the state of war between us…and to recognize each other, live as neighbors,” Mustafa is heard in the interview as saying. The ambassador to the US was a personal, hand-picked nomination of Assad.
Mustafa said Syria’s official position hasn’t changed in the past 15 years. “We have been consistently having one message to the Israelis: We want to make peace, we believe in a fair and comprehensive
peace with you.
It’s the Israelis who waver on this…sometimes they say ‘yes, we want to talk to you,’ sometimes they [say] ‘no, we don’t want to talk to you.'”
An analyst speaking on Army Radio who personally knows Mustafa said the ambassador was a personal friend of
the Syrian president, and that his statement was most likely coordinated with Assad, thus lending it the weight of the regime.
Mustafa reiterated Syria’s demand that peace with Israel be conditioned on ceding the strategic Golan Heights.
While the statement by Mustafa did not contain information not sounded before by other Syrian ministers and diplomats, the phrasing he used struck a far more dovish note than the carefully phrased statements by Assad and other Syrian officials, which often contain both peaceful overtures and threats of military aggression in case peace talks fail.
