Syria (King of North) Shows Itself as Middle East Peace Dove
While it is preparing Hizbullah for a counterattack against Israel
In Pre-Planned Conspiracy Attack against Israel (King of the South)
Which I think LIKELY to occur At A Point in Time between 2010 & 2015
When Hizbullah puts a few of its 80,000 rockets over its southern Border
Luring IDF to rush north into southern Lebanon only to be driven into Negev
Where Israel will be surrounded by Islam forces for a time, times, & half a Time
Until her Messiah returns at the final battle of Armageddon to lead her to Victory!

AS YOU READ THIS BLOG, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE 2 PARAGRAPHS WHICH FOLLOW:
(1) Islam holds that the Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 AD, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 AD, the year of his death.
(2) The New Testament Canon as it appears now was first listed by Athanasuis, Bishop of Alexandria, in 367 AD, 243 years before Muhammad is said to have written the Koran.
So Muhammad had access to both the Old and New Testament writings, which is quite obvious when one reads the Koran.
Daniel 11:41,42 + Zechariah 13:8 + Revelation 12:6 + Daniel 7:25 – [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [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. [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.
[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.
This Jihad (Holy War) attack by Islamic nations against Israel is the third in a series of attacks described in the Koran of Islam. In Arabic, the name Koran means “The Recital.” Allah speaks in the first person plural, which often changes to the first
person singular or the third person singular in the course of the same sentence.
QUOTE FROM THE KORAN, THE NIGHT JOURNEY 17:4-8
The Night Journey 17:4 – In the Scriptures We solemnly declared to the Israelites: ‘Twice you shall commit evil in the land. You shall become great transgressors.’
“Scriptures” refer to those found in the Old Testament of our present day Bible. Mohammed claims that Allah is the God of all men, including Israel, and that he gave them what we call the Old Testament.
Mohammed calls the Jews “the people of The Book.” Also please bear in mind that Mohammed was born about AD 570, almost 500 years after John finished Revelation, the last book of the New Testament.
“Twice” refers to the sins of Israel in the Old Testament that led God to cause them to be led into captivity on two occasions. The first being the 70 year captivity into which the Babylonians carried them into about 587 BC.
Jeremiah 25:8-11 – Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, [9] Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. [10] Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. [11] And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
The second occasion was the carrying away by Romans which began in AD 70 by Titus, and was completed by Hadrian some 65 years later.
This led to the worldwide dispersal of the Jews.
Luke 21:24 – And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Please remember that both these attacks had already occurred BEFORE Mohammed wrote the Koran. But since he is claiming that his God Allah wrote “The Scriptures” we call “The Bible,” he is interpreting our Bible to say that Allah and Islam warned the Israelites in advance of the two attacks before they occurred.
The Night Journey 17:5 – And when the prophecy of your first transgression came to be fulfilled, we sent against you a formidable army which ravaged your land and carried out the punishment with which you had been threatened.
This was, of course, the Babylonian invasion and the 70 years of captivity.
The Night Journey 17:6 – Then we granted you victory over them and multiplied your riches and descendants, so that once again you became a numerous people. We (Allah and Islam) said: ‘If you do good, it shall be to your own advantage; but if you do evil, you shall sin against your own souls.’
Mohammed here claims that Allah gave them victory by causing the conquest of the Babylonians by the Medes and the Persians, and then raising up Cyrus, King of Persia, to allow them to return to their homeland.
The Night Journey 17:7 – And when the prophecy of your second transgression came to be finished, We (Allah and Islam) sent another army to afflict you and to enter the Temple as the former entered it before, utterly destroying all that they laid their hands on.
Mohammed here claims that because they did not heed Allah’s second warning, he sent the Roman army against them, and they, like the Babylonians had destroyed the Temple of Solomon in about 587 BC, destroyed the Temple of Herod in AD 70. Mohammed then makes the prediction of a final punishment if they trespass against Allah for a third time. This attack will result in their being scourged and cast into Hell, the prison house for all unbelievers. I believe Mohammed extracted this prophecy from both the Old and New Testaments, and that it is likely to occur at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
The Night Journey 18:8 – We (Allah and Islam) said: ‘Allah may yet be merciful to you. If you again transgress, you shall again be scourged. We have made Hell a prison-house for unbelievers.’
I suspect that Mohammed took the writings of the “prophets of Israel” that were “spoken in old time” of the final attack against Israel, and
them predicted it as being a prophecy from Allah.
Ezekiel 38:14-17 – Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it
? [15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: [16] And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. [17] Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
I believe this attack is likely to occur between 2010 and 2015 and, indeed, will be a scourging by the armies of Islam as they sweep south from Dan to Beersheva, and Israel will be exiled in the Negev Wilderness for some three and one-half years.

Syria seen as key for Mideast stability
August 23, 2009
Experts see improvement in US-Syria relations vital for stability but reconciliation remains slow.
DAMASCUS – Syria has embarked on a delicate diplomatic offensive aimed at shedding its long-standing image as Middle East pariah while at the same time maintaining firm ties with its closest ally Iran, analysts say.
“Syria has emerged from political isolation and is now implementing some kind of roadmap to improve its ties with the West,” Riad Qahwaji of the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis said.
Since coming to office in January, US President Barack Obama has moved cautiously to improve Washington’s relations with Damascus, which were deeply strained under his predecessor George W. Bush.
In a report on “Engaging Syria? US Constraints and Opportunities,” issued barely a month after Obama’s inauguration, the International Crisis Group said the new president would discover “that the past is not easily overcome.”
“It will be critical to reassure Damascus that the US is interested in improving relations and resolving the Israeli-Arab conflict, not in regime change,” the ICG said.
In a nod to Syrian regional influence, Obama later dispatched top political and military emissaries to Damascus to tap its willingness to help resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict and also stabilise Iraq.
Last October for the first time Syria established diplomatic ties with its tiny neighbour Lebanon, winning international praise and setting the stage for overtures with the United States.
“Experience shows that Syria plays a key role and everyone needs it,” said Elias Mourad, president of the Syrian journalists’ association.
Syrian ties to Iran “serve regional peace” despite efforts by the West to sever this relationship, said the former chief editor of Al-Baath, the ruling Baath party newspaper.
In July 2008 President Bashar al-Assad made a high-profile visit to Paris at the invitation of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, breaking Syria’ s international political i
solation.
Paris turned to Damascus when Tehran put on trial French researcher Clotilde Reiss and an Iranian employee of the French embassy for their alleged role in deadly street riots after Iran’s disputed presidential election in June.
Syria used its diplomatic leverage with Iran to secure Reiss’s release on bail last Sunday.
Three days later Assad flew to Tehran to congratulate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his re-election as president, and was praised by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for Syria’s “steadfastness and resistance.”
“America’s blade has become blunter in the region,” Khamenei said. “The unity between Iran and Syria is the embodiment of resistance in the region.”
However, the key to full Syrian relations with Washington remains firmly in US hands.
“Syria hopes to obtain a lot of things from the United States,” said Qahwaji, including the return of its Golan Heights from Israel as part of a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement.
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks were revived in November 2007 after a seven-year hiatus, but ground to a halt last December when Israel launched its 22-day onslaught on the Gaza Strip, killing 1,400 Palestinians, mainly civilians.
Two American military delegations have visited Damascus over the past two months, with Major General Michael Moeller of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) heading the most recent one on August 12.
The top American general in Iraq, Ray Odierno, told reporters in Baghdad on Monday that the “bilateral discussions with them (Syria) are important.”
“We have a lot of reasons to begin discussions… with Syria, and I think this is just the beginning of those discussions, and it’s not just Iraq that they’re dealing with.”
Odierno complained that fighters were still entering Iraq from Syria, although he acknowledged that the “flow of foreign fighters in Iraq has decreased significantly.”
Obama last month expressed continued concern over Syria.
“There are aspects of Syrian behaviour that trouble us and we think that there is a way that Syria can be much more constructive on a whole host of these issues,” he said in a television interview.
US Middle East special envoy George Mitchell has been in Syria twice recently for talks with Assad, and Washington has announced plans to send an ambassador back to Damascus to replace the envoy recalled in 2005.
Its ambassador was recalled after the assassination in February that year in Beirut of Lebanon’s former premier Rafiq Hariri, a killing widely blamed on Syria which denied involvement.
Washington has eased some trade sanctions on the export of aircraft and other equipment to Syria, but other sanctions imposed by Bush in 2004 remain.
“Significant obstacles to healthy, mutually beneficial relations remain, along with a legacy of estrangement and distrust,” the ICG said in February.
“They dictate the need for a prudent approach that seeks first to rebuild ties and restore confidence.”

Peres: Hizbullah has 80,000 weapons
August 24, 2009
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Hizbullah has stockpiled 80,000 weapons which can be used against Israel, President Shimon Peres told Kuwaiti paper al-Rai, some three times more than it had prior to the Second Lebanon War.
“Hizbullah is working for its own interests and will always find a pretext to continue its policy against Israel, even if the IDF withdraws from Sheba Farms and the Lebanese Ghajar village,” the president said in an interview published on Monday.
Al-Rai further quoted Peres as warning Lebanon against allowing Hizbullah to gain more political power, saying the country had “become the Iran of the region” rather than the “Switzerland of the Orient.”
The president went on to mention the death of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, reiterating previous Israeli denials of involvement. “He was the head of special operations, and no one knows who killed him… There is no evidence that a certain side carried out the assassination.”
Responding to Peres’s comments, Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh told The Daily Star, “I don’t know how he counted these rockets. Let [Israel] give us a list showing who the source is and how they identify these rockets.
[Peres] imagines too much.”
Salloukh echoed previous comments that Lebanon “would be the last Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Tel Aviv, according to The Daily Star, stating, “There will be neither direct nor indirect negotiations with Israel.”
Salloukh added a dig at the president, calling him “an aging political leader,” according to the Beirut-based paper.
