Biting The Hand Of The Ones Who Freed It!
With Friends like we have across the Planet,
It Won’t be a Surprise as We isolate America,
To let foes control the world of prophet’s Days,
As we wait for a European Antichrist to come In,
And control the whole world as it’s known Today!
A vast majority of the saved wait for the Antichrist
To come from Europe to control the world of Today!
He’ll come from the Middle East land of the Prophets!
And will only dominate the known world of Revelation!

I have contended for some 34 years that the Antichrist would arise in the Middle East and would only dominate the world as it was known at the time John wrote the Book of Revelation.
The next Administration will withdraw from its position as world leader by becoming passive in its foreign policies, and the door will be open for an Islamic leader, with the backing of Russia and China, to turn Europe into a cowed dog with its tail between its legs. The strong, ever growing percentage of Islamic believers in Europe will cause Europe and its cold Catholic faith to support Arab states in their war on Israel. The United States will keep a strong naval force on the high seas, a strong nuclear deterrent, and a strong internal defense force, but its only real help to Israel will be to hold Russia and China at bay in a cold war, as they let Islam and Israel slug it out in a conventional war. After some three and one-half years of Middle East turmoil, which I believe to likely begin at some point in time between 2010 and 2015, the war will end at the final battle of the Age of the Gentiles, known as the Battle of Armageddon.
All nations now occupying the land mass of the known world when John wrote the Book of Revelation will be called by the Antichrist to come and help him in finally destroying the nation of Israel in the Negev Wilderness of southern Israel. They will come and God will destroy him and his vast hoard at the Second Advent of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Daniel 7:25 – And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Daniel 12:1 – 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.
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.
Ezekiel 39:2 – And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Iraq rejects US raid inside Syria
October 28, 2008
Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST
Iraq’s US-backed government says it does not approve of a deadly US raid into Syria.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh’s comments were the first official Iraqi condemnation of Sunday’s raid.
Al-Dabbagh spoke after a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that was chaired by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
He says the government “rejects” the raid even if the US claims such operations are legitimate. He also says Iraq doesn’t want its territory to be used for attacks in neighboring nations.
But he urged Syria to crack down on what he said
are “organizations” operating on its territory that have the intention of harming Iraq.
A US military official said the target was a network that smuggles fighters and weapons into Iraq.

US: Top al Qaida man died in Syria raid
October 27, 2008
ap and jpost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Families in this Syrian village on Monday buried relatives they said died in a US helicopter attack. A US counterterrorism official said American forces killed the head of a Syrian network that funneled fighters, weapons and cash into Iraq.
The raid Sunday targeted the home of Abu Ghadiyah, the nickname for the leader of a key cell of foreign fighters in Iraq, according to the US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.
The US Treasury Department has identified him as one of four major figures in al-Qaida’s Iraq wing who were living in Syria.
Also Monday, a villager said US forces grabbed two men and took them away by helicopter during the cross-border raid.
During the funerals, residents shouted anti-American slogans and carried banners reading: “Down with Bush and the American enemy.” Syria’s foreign minister condemned the raid as “cowboy politics.”
The Syrian government said four US military helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction shortly before sundown, killing eight people in Sukkariyeh – a village about five miles inside the Syrian border.
A US military official in Washington confirmed Sunday that special forces had conducted a raid in Syria that targeted the network of al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters moving through Syria into Iraq.
“We are taking matters into our own hands,” the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity of cross-border raids.
The attack is another sign that the United States is aggressively launching military raids across the borders of Afghanistan and Iraq to destroy insurgent sanctuaries. In Pakistan, US missile strikes have killed at least two senior al-Qaida operatives this year and ramped up the threat to groups suspected of plotting attacks on Western troops in Afghanistan and terror strikes in the West.
A Sukkariyeh resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life, said he saw at least two men taken into custody by American forces and whisked away by helicopter. Another villager displayed amateur video footage he took with his mobile phone that shows four helicopters flying toward them as villagers point to the skies in alarm.
An Associated Press journalist saw the grainy video Monday.
In Washington, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino refused to confirm, or even discuss, Sunday’s attack.
The European Union on Monday night expressed reservations about the US strike in Syria, Israel Radio reported.
The EU’s foreign policy chief Javier Solana said he was worried over the killing of civilians and expressed hope the situation would soon return to normal.
France said it was very worried about a US attack in Syrian territory and has called for restraint and the “strict respect” of nations’ territorial integrity.
The statement Monday from French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s office called for “light to be shed” on Sunday’s cross-border raid, which the Syrian government says killed eight people.
The statement said France “deplores the loss of Syrian civilians.” It said also that Sarkozy has sent his condolence to the victims’ friends and families.
Iran condemned the attack as did Russia, which has had close ties with Syria since Soviet times.
The raid also put the Baghdad government in an awkward position while negotiating a security pact with the United States. Iraqi officials said they hoped the raid would not harm their relations with Syria, but the government spokesman in Baghdad noted that it happened in an area known as a terrorist haven.
“We are trying to contain the fallout from the incident,” Iraqi Foreign Ministry undersecretary Labid Abbawi said. “It is regrettable and we are sorry it happened.”
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh, however, said the area where the raid occurred “is a theater of military operations where anti-Iraq terrorist activity takes place.”
Syria’s foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem, described the raid as “cowboy politics.” He spoke to reporters in London and warned that if there was a repeat attack on Syria, “we would defend our territories.”
The Syrian government statement said eight people were killed, including a man and his four children and a woman.
HOWEVER, local officials said seven men were killed and two other people were wounded, including a woman among the injured.
An Associated Press journalist at the funerals in the village cemetery saw the bodies of SEVEN men – NONE OF THEM children. The discrepancy could not immediately be explained.
Sunday’s attack came at a time when Syria appears to be making some amends with the United States. Though Syria has long been viewed by the US as a destabilizing country in the Middle East, Damascus has been trying in recent months to change its image and end years of global seclusion.
The raid came just days after the commander of US forces in western Iraq said American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the Syrian border, which he called an “uncontrolled” gateway for fighters entering Iraq.
In Sukkariyeh, villager Jumaa Ahmad al-Hamad told the AP he was walking Sunday when he saw four helicopters, two of which landed.
“Shooting then started ringing for more than 10 minutes,” al-Hamad said Monday. After the helicopters stopped firing and left the area, he and other villagers went to the site and discovered the bodies of his uncle, Dawoud al-Hamad, and four of his uncle’s sons, who he said were killed.
At the one-story family house of the deceased Dawoud al-Hamad and his sons, about 30 women dressed in black wept in a courtyard.
They all dismissed allegations that the dead men had links to al-Qaida.
“They were innocent laborers who worked from dusk to dawn,” said Abdullah’s wife, Rima, while sitting on the floor. She said work at the construction site started last week.
Asked about US reports that an al-Qaida-linked group used the site, Siham, the widow of one of Dawoud al-Hamad’s sons, Ibrahim, said: “I don’t know about any of that.”
“All I know is that they went to work and never came back,” said the mother of seven children, the youngest of whom is an 8-month-old girl.
Some Iraqi officials warned that the US military raid into Syria could be used by opponents of the security pact under negotiation with the United States.
“Now neighboring countries have a good reason to be concerned about the continued US presence in Iraq,” Kurdish politician Mahmoud Othman told the AP.
Abbawi said he did not believe the Syrian raid would affect the security negotiations but acknowledged that “some will use the incident for the argument against the agreement.”
Sunday’s attack comes as the flow of foreign fighters into Iraq has been declining.
A senior US military intelligence official told the AP in July that it had been cut to an estimated 20 a month. That’s a 50 percent decline from six months ago, and just a fifth of the estimated 100 foreign fighters who were infiltrating Iraq a year ago, according to the official.
The area targeted Sunday is near the Iraqi border city of Qaim, which had been a major crossing point for fighters, weapons and money coming into Iraq to fuel the Sunni insurgency.
Ninety percent of the foreign fighters enter through Syria, according to US intelligence. Foreigners are some of the most deadly fighters in Iraq, trained in bomb-making and with small-arms expertise and more likely to be willing suicide bombers than Iraqis.
