Little Biblical Doubt Antichrist Soon To Walk Aboard,
A Perplexing Problem is WHEN Islam Draws A Sword,
No Peace and Safety till all terrorists groups on Board,
The Sword of Allah will soon send south its Jihad Hoards,
A possibility many nations seem able to completely Ignore,
Eight years ago I believed attack would be afore year 2012,
Since 2007 I’ve believed it likely to happen twixt 2010 & 2015,
No big war cause terrorist groups to Different Leaders Hearken,
Between now and 2015 a leader will arise to Who their Sparking!

For years I have contended closed door meetings between the terrorist Islamic nations, and all the terrorist group leaders, will be necessary before a time of peace and safety, which matches the one Paul describes in I Thessalonians 5:3,4, is finally fulfilled. I believe many meetings will create such a condition of false peace between Israel and its internal terrorist groups at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
Only then will rocket and mortar attacks cease against Israel. The three Archive Prophecy Updates are a brief history of the seemingly never ending tit for tat acts of violence between the terrorist groups and Israel. I believe the tit for tat will end at some point in time between now and 2015. When the tit for tat does finally cease, a major Middle East war will suddenly break out a short period of time thereafter.
PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 7

Syria will lead an Islamic array of nations against Israel. The well coordinated effort of these nations, aided by the Palestinians within Israel, will be able to initially defeat the woman Israel, and she will be forced to remain in the Negev for three and one-half prophetic years, or 1260 days. According to Zechariah 13:9 to 14:2, only one-third of Israel will make it into the Negev, and the city of Jerusalem will fall to the Islamic conglomerate: “[9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. [1] Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.” Considering the present number of Jews in Israel, (about 4.8 million), if the attack were to occur now, that would mean about 1.6 million Jews would be hedged in the Negev for 1260 days. If the attack were to occur in the distant future that number could reach 2 million. I really do not expect such an attack to occur this year, because it has to first be secretly coordinated behind closed doors, between several Arab nations confederate with Syria,
and with the terrorist groups they control. This will take several years. I feel confident the attack will not occur before 2003, but I do believe it will occur before 2012.
ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE 12
Issued in March 2001 on http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
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.
PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 59
March 15, 2002
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
When one looks at the current geographical structure of what we call Israel today, he or she cannot fail to notice the military significance of the great Palestinian bulge, the West Bank, in Israel’s center, and the importance of the only PA access to a seaport, the narrow strip in the southwest linking the PA to Egypt, called Gaza. Any graduate of a military academy will tell you that if a nation is attacked from outside her borders, and simultaneously within her borders, it is an impossible situation.
Once the false peace comes to Israel, it will finally be broken by just such a situation, which will cause Israel to be driven southward into the Negev wilderness.
In all of Israel’s endeavors to procure military rest with the Arab nations she has repeatedly, for the last 54 years, made this statement with each new administration: “We must have Peace with Security.” The basic New Testament word for “Security” is “Safety.” There is no danger of the battle of Armageddon beginning in the Middle East until this false peace comes to exist between Israel and her bordering nations.
When Ehud Barak played the role of Santa Claus, and offered the unbelievable concessions to Yasar Arafat at Camp David, why did Arafat not accept them? There is one major overriding reason: Arafat knew he could not control Hamas, Hizbullah. and the Islamic Jihad terrorist groups. In fact, he probably knew he could not control some factions with his own terrorist group Fatah. Had he accepted Ehud Barak’s most generous land concessions, he knew that immediately after he signed the agreement, the terrorist groups would wreck havoc in Israel, and he would look like a helpless fool.
The long and short of peace in the Middle East is totally dependent upon Libya, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran calling off the terrorist groups they sponsor long enough for Israel to think true peace is a reality.
The terrorist groups, their sponsoring nations, and the Palestinian leaders MUST work together to bring this false “Peace and Safety” to the Middle East. I suspect this will be one of the main topics discussed secretly, behind closed doors, at the Arab Conference to be held the latter part of this month.
Why has there been intrusion after intrusion into autonomous PA cities and camps by the IDF during the last few months? It has, of course, been in retribution for the numerous human bomb episodes within Israel that have taken many Israeli lives. However, it has also given Ariel Sharon the justification to accomplish an important military objective before he begins to negotiate a final peace arrangement with the Palestinians. He knew full well that the existence of a West Bank “bulge” PA nation in the midst of Israel, filled with terrorist groups, was a completely untenable situation. So, before he holds any peace negotiations with the Palestinians, or anyone else, he is working diligently to destroy the terrorist infrastructure within PA autonomous territory, and its capacity to produce weapons internally. Even if Israel is able to completely surround a newly created Palestinians nation by maintaining the western shore of the Jordan River, the existence of active terrorist groups within the new nation is completely unacceptable.
The only way any Palestinian leader could control the terrorist groups, according to Israel’s mode of thinking, is for Israel to purposely eliminate, or greatly weaken them, before the false peace.
However, in all reality, the only ones who can control them are the countries that supply them with money, weapons, and martyrs.
The only good thing about the current events in the Middle East is this: It clearly advises us that the coming of the Lord is at our doors.
Once the peace comes, then we can rest assured that our redemption is drawing nigh. Once the false peace is in place, a brief period of time will pass. Then, to the surprise of Israel, and most of the world, she will be attacked internally from within by the Palestinians, and externally from the north by Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, with several other Islamic nations directly assisting in the operation. I do not believe Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia will be among the nations that initially attack Israel.
THREE EXCERPTS I ATTACHED LATE MONDAY NIGHT
Begin Three Excerpts from Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert
Excerpt 1
Palestinian Rocket Fire Worsens
Yuval Azoulay
Palestinians in Gaza fired at least five Kassam rockets and eight mortar shells at Israel on Sunday. Two soldiers and a civilian were wounded. In addition, Israel Defense Forces soldiers exchanged fire with Palestinians near the Kissufim crossing on Sunday. On Saturday, a Grad rocket struck south of Ashkelon.
(Ha’aretz)
Excerpt 2
After Warning Palestinians to Leave Targets, Israel Retaliates for Gaza Rocket Fire
Barak Ravid
Israel Air Force aircraft struck an evacuated Hamas security headquarters in central Gaza on Sunday after Israel telephoned warnings to Palestinians. Two other strikes were on smuggling tunnels along the border with Egypt.
Before the attack, Israeli aircraft flew over the Gaza-Egypt border, setting off sonic booms, and witnesses said hundreds of people who work in the tunnels there fled, along with residents. (Ha’aretz)
Excerpt 3
Military Intelligence: Hamas Upholding Cease-Fire, But Smaller Gaza Groups Undeterred
Barak Ravid
IDF Military Intelligence Head Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin said Sunday that while Israel’s offensive in Gaza had deterred Hamas, other radical groups were still looking to escalate hostilities. “Two weeks following the cease-fire, militants from groups other than Hamas are challenging it and carrying out attacks aimed at renewing escalation,” Yadlin told cabinet ministers. Hamas “is not preventing the attacks of others,” he said. (Ha’aretz)
BUT MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH, HAMAS IS HAVING A GO AT A MORE PERMANENT TRUCE
I notice in the last paragraph the excerpt uses the common slang express which is one of my favorites, namely “tit for tat.”
EXCERPT I ATTACHED ON TUESDAY MORNING
Begin Excerpt from Lebanese Daily Star
Hamas cites ‘positive direction’ as Cairo works toward stronger Gaza truce
By Agence France Presse (AFP)
Monday, February 02, 2009
CAIRO: Palestinian officials were gathering in Cairo on Sunday amid hopes of bolstering a ceasefire in Gaza, even as Israel threatened to strike at Hamas after Gaza militants fired rockets into Israel. Egypt has been mediating a truce after Hamas and Israel announced ceasefires on January 18, ending a devastating 22-day war that killed more than 1,330 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
An advisor to deposed Prime Minister Ismail Haniya, who heads the Hamas government in Gaza, told AFP that the group was awaiting Israel’s response to an Egyptian truce proposal. “We can speak with details about the truce after our delegation examines the Israeli response,” said Ahmad Yusef, adding that Hamas expected the response by Monday. “But for now, things are moving in a positive direction.”
A Hamas team from Gaza was already in Cairo, as was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, while representatives of Hamas’ Syria-based leadership were due on Monday, a Hamas official said.
Abbas was scheduled to travel to Prague to meet his Czech counterpart, Vaclav Klaus, but announced on Saturday that he would travel to Cairo instead, where he would meet Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Monday. Abbas came to Egypt after Egyptian officials relayed “optimistic reports” from meetings with Hamas, Fatah official Nabil Shaath told AFP.
“Our Egyptian brothers reported to us what they feel to be a more open and therefore more optimistic position [from Hamas],” he said. “What Egypt will say to us tomorrow will be very important.”
However, Abbas on Sunday ruled out talks with any group which does recognize the PLO’s legitimacy, in a reference to Khaled Meshaal, political chief of Hamas.
“We say this with utmost clarity: no dialogue with whoever rejects the Palestine Liberation Organization,” Abbas said at a news conference in the Egyptian capital.
Meshaal, who heads Hamas’ politburo from exile in Syria, said last week that the PLO had become obsolete and called for “a new, national authority.”
Hamas beat Fatah in parliamentary elections in 2006.
Meshaal, who was visiting Iran, repeated on Sunday that Hamas would not accept a permanent ceasefire with Israel until it ended its blockade of Gaza.
Israel imposed its siege of the impoverished Gaza Strip following the Hamas victory in the 2006 polls. The Zionist state further tightened its grip after the Islamists took power in Gaza by force in 2007.
“While the occupation continues, a permanent ceasefire has no meaning,” Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted him as saying during a joint news conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
Meshaal, who arrived in Iran earlier on Sunday for his first visit since the war, said the Gaza blockade was a key “priority.” “While the blockade continues, we believe the aggression [by Israel] continues,” he added.
Later Sunday Meshaal met Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who urged him to be prepared for any situation even a “new war” with Israel, the semi-official news agency ISNA reported.
“The Islamic resistance has to be careful and prepared for any situation even the possibility of a new war,” Khamenei was quoted as saying.
The fragile ceasefire has been tested by tit-for-tat attacks which flared up after Israeli raids in the territory and after Palestinian militants detonated a roadside bomb at the Gaza border with Israel, killing a soldier. Palestinian fighters have also fired at least seven rockets at Israel, as well a mortar round on Sunday that slightly wounded two people. – AFP, with The Daily Star
END EXCERPTS
IF MESHAAL, AFTER TWO TRIPS TO IRAN ABOUT THE CONFLICT, HAS IN SOME WAY FINALLY CONCEIVED A PLAN WITH IRAN AND SYRIA (MESHAAL’S HEADQUARTERS IS DAMASCUS) TO LULL ISRAEL INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BY A LENGTHY OR PERMANENT CEASEFIRE, THEN PERHAPS WE WILL AT LAST SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF THE FALSE PEACE OF I THESSALONIANS 5;3,4. ONLY TIME WILL TELL, BUT I AM VERY CONFIDENT IT WILL COME INTO PLACE AT SOME POINT IN TIME BEFORE 2015, WITH THE ATTACK SHORTLY THEREAFTER AT A POINT IN TIME BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015.
WHEN ALL THE TERRORIST NATIONS AND GROUPS FINALLY COME TOGETHER IN A CONSPIRACY TO LULL ISRAEL INTO FALSE SECURITY THEN THE TIT FOR TAT BETWEEN THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND HER ENEMIES WILL TEMPORARILY CEASE.
