I do not expect a major Middle East war to break out until some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
All of those nations directly involved by actively fighting in the war, or those nations supplying the ones fighting w ith logistical support during
it, are currently preparing for it by helping each other militarily. Both participants and their suppliers are jockeying into position territorially at the present time on land and sea, so as to have advantageous military posture on a worldwide basis during the conflict.
The navies of Russia and America are now actively engaged in the act of positioning themselves in waters touching each others coasts, carrying nuclear capabilities, which will cause a standoff when the Middle East war begins. They will not engage as Israel and the Islamic nations slug in out and Israel is driven into the Negev wilderness.
Russia, China, and the U.S. will not engage in the three and one-half years after Israel is driven into the Negev, but will during the last battle of the war, the battle of Armageddon.
WE ARE NOW IN THE TIME NATIONS ARE PREPARING FOR A WAR.
WHEN IT BEGINS ONLY ISRAEL AND ISLAMIC NATIONS WILL BE INVOLVED. THE UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN, AND AUSTRALIA WILL SUPPORT ISRAEL – CHINA, RUSSIA, AND MOST OF THE OTHER WORLD NATIONS WILL SUPPORT ISLAM, WHILE THE REST TRY TO REMAIN NEUTRAL.
LOTS OF LOGISTICAL SUPPORT AND OFFSHORE CHEERING BY THE U.S. NAVAL FORCES FOR ISRAEL WILL CONTINUE FROM NOW THROUGH THE THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS ISRAEL WILL BE IN THE NEGEV, BUT ALL MAJOR WORLD POWERS WILL NOT DIRECTLY ENGAGE OR JOIN IN THE ACTUAL COMBAT UNTIL CALLED TO THE FINAL BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON JUST BEFORE THE LAST REVELATION VIAL IS POURED OUT.
Revelation 16:13-21 – And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book.
Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn
them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Excerpt 1 from Reuters
U.S. Approves $330 Million in Arms Purchases for Israel
Andrea Shalal-Esa
The U.S. government on Tuesday said it had approved up to $330 million in three separate arms deals for Israel for bombs, Patriot missile upgrades, and anti-armor weapons. Sources tracking a much bigger deal for 25 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets, plus an option for at least 50 more, said that agreement could be approved later this month. The Pentagon is solidly backing Israel’s request for the fighter jets, which are being designed by the U.S. and eight other countries to replace the F-16. Maj. Gen. Charles Davis, the Pentagon’s program chief for the F-35, said last month that Israel was getting the F-35 into its fleet “as quickly as we possibly can.” (Reuters)

Israel’s senior ministers confer urgently on Iran as US masses air-naval might in Middle East waters
DEBKAfile Special Report
September 10, 2008, 11:57 AM (GMT+02:00)
Prime minister Ehud Olmert summoned defense minister Ehud Barak and foreign minister Tzipi Livni for an urgent consultation on Iran Wed.
Sept. 10, as the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier headed out to the Mediterranean for missions “in support of maritime security.”
Its arrival will bring the number of US aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea to four, compared with two Russian warships. Most of the Russian fleet in the region is concentrated in the Black Sea whence it has easy and rapid access to Middle East waters.
The Roosevelt will be followed by its strike force, which includes the guided missile cruiser Monterey , the guided missile destroyers Mason and Nitze , with 7,300 sailors and marines aboard, and the attack submarine Springfield .
Our sources report that the USS Ronald Reagan carrier and its strike group began engaging in assault and support missions for US and NATO forces in Afghanistan on Aug. 28.
The Iwo Jima carrier group, whose decks carry 6,000 sailors, air crews and marines, supports the US Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and Fifth Fleet in the Gulf with a massive amphibious capability.
The USS San Antonio amphibious transport dock ship is the first vessel of its class to be deployed in the region as a platform for supporting Marine movements and operations ashore.
The USS Peleliu carrier patrols the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. It is escorted by vessels carrying a large Marine contingent.
Monday, Iran launched a three-day naval-air-missile exercise to practice defense tactics for its nuclear sites

Begin Excerpt 2 from DEBKAfile Report
Russian nuclear-capable aircraft, battle cruiser head for Venezuela
DEBKAfile Special Report
September 10, 2008, 5:29 PM (GMT+02:00)
Russian foreign ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko’s announcement in Moscow provided sketchy details of the coming Russian deployment at a Venezuela airport and the joint naval war games with Hugo Chavez’s navy in the Caribbean.
Caracas announced that four Russian ships with almost 1,000 sailors aboard would join its navy for maneuvers on November 10-14.
DEBKAfile’s military sources itemize its composition:
The nuclear-capable maritime reconnaissance/anti-submarine warfare turboprop TU-142 (NATO coded Bear F, or Bear J), which can fly 6,500 km, i.e. from Venezuela to the US coast will be temporarily based at a Venezuelan airport.
This move will further strain US-Russian relations.
Nesterenko played down the presence of the TU-142 in his statement that a smallish Russian flotilla would be holding naval training exercises off Venezuela in November. Our sources inferred that the warplanes would land in October, arriving before the flotilla, which will be bigger and more formidable than the Russian and Venezuelan spokesmen indicated.
According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, it will consist of six to eight vessels, led by the Kirov Class (Type 1144.2) Peter the Great nuclear-powered heavy missile cruiser, one of the largest warships in the world, which is designed to guard the rest of the group against submarine and air attack.
It is armed with the Granit (NATO designated SS-N-19 Shipwreck) long range, anti-ship missile system, consisting of 20 missiles. If the lead missile is intercepted, one of the others moves into the lead role.
Peter the Great is also equipped with 40 S-300F air defense missiles.
Other ships in the Russian flotilla are the Admiral Chabanenko , the Russian navy’s most advanced guided missile anti-submarine battleship, and the guided nuclear missile cruiser Pyotr Velikiy . They will be escorted by five smaller warships and a fuel vessel.
DEBKAfile’s military experts deduce from the makeup of the Russian group that, while it is being presented as primarily defensive, it fact it is the core infrastructure of an important Russian air and fleet presence for shielding a potential assault deployment in the event of a Kremlin decision to base one in Venezuela.
