Believe it or not, Iran’s got the Message,
And MAY BACK OFF ITS Atomic Nuke Kick,
Until U.S. troops vacate the Middle East.
The Message, whether it is bluff or Real,
Is getting the Attention of Ahmadinejad,
And Iran doesn’t want War at This Time!

WHEN U.S. TROOPS ARE WITHDRAWN FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, THE FINAL WAR OF THIS AGE WILL SOON BREAK OUT. SINCE I KNOW WAR IS INEV ITABLE I AM ANXIOUS FOR
IT TO BEGIN, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL END WITH THE SECOND ADVENT OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL, JESUS CHRIST. AT AGE 78, I NOW DESIRE TO SEE HIM MORE THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS TIME IN MY LIFE.
I admit my bias and prejudice in knowing that a Middle East war MUST break out according to biblical prophecy. A synoptic analyst is not supposed to direct himself toward a foregone conclusion. He must let the data and reports lead him to the final conclusion without predetermined bias. Since I know God’s Word is inspired, it is quite true I do work toward the foregone conclusion war WILL definitely occur in the Middle East, and that the final battle will be Armageddon. Analyzing the events that precede the breaking out of war, as they match prophecy, I try to be secularly objective as to WHEN the war will begin.
Secularly speaking, I do not believe Islam wants a major war with Israel with large numbers of U.S. troops along the borders of the three Islamic nations leading the counterattack, namely Turkey, Syria, and Iran.
So I do not believe a MAJOR Middle East war will begin until MOST or ALL ground troops are pulled out. I believe they will be pulled out before 2015, and the final war of the Age of the Gentiles will begin between Islam and Israel, resulting in Israel being driven into the Negev Wilderness, where a UN truce will be accepted, leaving Israel surrounded in the Negev for some three and one-half years.
The truce will be broken at the end of that time by Islam, the final battle of Armageddon will begin, and the Second Advent of Jesus the Messiah will end it.
Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [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.
Revelation12:6 – 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.

they tread under foot forty and two months.

[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.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Zechariah 14:3 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Luke 21:25-27 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
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.
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.
Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Zechariah 13:9 – 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.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
Third US carrier, 4,000 Marines augment US armada opposite Iran
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
June 28, 2010, 10:45 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Washington has posted a third carrier opposite Iran’s shores. It is supported by amphibious assault ships and up to 4,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel, bringing the total US strength in these waters to three carriers and 10,000 combat personnel.
The USS Nassau (LHA-4) Amphibious Ready Group
24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, tasked with supporting the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet area of operations, is cruising around the Bab al-Mandeb Straits where the Gulf of Aden flows into the Red Sea. Its presence there accounts for Tehran announcing Sunday, June 27 that its “aid ship for Gaza” had been called off, for fear an American military boarding party would intercept the vessel and search it. This would be permissible under the latest UN sanctions punishing the Islamic Republic for its nuclear program.
The third US carrier group to reach waters around Iran consists of three vessels:
1. The USS Nassau Amphibious Assault ship is not just an enormous landing craft for the 3,000 Marines aboard; its decks carry 6 vertical take-off AV-HB Harrier attack plans; four AH-1W Super Cobra, twelve CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters, as well choppers convertible to fast V-22 Osprey airplanes capable of landing in any conditions.
This vast warship has 1,400 cabinets for sleeping the entire Marine-24th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard.
2. The amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde which carries 800 Marines equipped for instantaneous landing.
3. The amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland which carries 400 Marines and 102 commandos trained for special operations behind enemy lines.
DEBKAfile adds: The USS Ashland was the target of an al Qaeda Katyusha rocket attack in 2005 when it was docked in Jordan’s Aqaba port next door to the Israeli port of Eilat. One of the rockets exploded in Eilat airport. The ship exited harbor in time to escape harm.
These new arrivals are a massive injection of naval, air and marine muscle to the strength Washington has deployed in the Persian Gulf-Red Sea-Indian Ocean arena in recent months.
The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group consisting of twelve warships is cruising in the Arabian Sea opposite Chah Bahar, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards biggest naval base not far from the Iranian-Pakistan border. It is there that most of Iran’s special commando units are housed.
Also posted in the Arabian Sea, further to the west, is the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike Group.
