Shiite and Sunni Clay Now in Opposition Will Hold Together One Hour

When the Shiite and Sunni Clay and Iron Mixture Comes Together for a Common Cause, Namely the Defeat of Israel, They will Hold Together Long enough to Defeat Israel, as will All the other Sects of Islam.
But the Sects cannot cleave together very long as Iron and Clay.
Daniel 2:41-43 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
[42] And as the toes of
the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
[43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall MINGLE themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
The Hebrew word translated as “MINGLED” is the word “ARAB.”
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings ONE HOUR with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
ONE HOUR simply means a brief period of time, which I suspect will be less than seven years, but more than three and one half.
I have taught this would eventually come to pass in the Middle East for more than 30 years, and my best guesstimate for the time of the initial attack, associated with a united Jihad of 10 Arab nations against Israel, is that it is likely to occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
The following article by Megan K. Stack in the Los Angeles Times was extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Daily Affairs Daily Alert. I do not believe there is any question that the Shiite-Sunni conflict will be on the increase in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. I have taught for more than 25 years that I did not believe Egypt, Jordan, or Saudi would be involved in the initial attack against Israel, but that they would remain neutral during the takeover of the land from Dan to Beersheba.
I covered this on our web site shortly after
we initiated it. You may read a detailed outline of the coming conflict, and why I do not believe the nations of Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will be among the 10 toes of Daniel’s Chapter 2 statue, in our Archive Prophecy Updates. They are listed as whole numbers 71 through 75.

Iraqi Strife Seeping into Saudi Kingdom
By Megan
K. Stack
Conflict in Iraq has begun to spill over onto Saudi Arabia, breathing new life into the ancient rivalry between the country’s powerful Sunni Muslim majority and the long-oppressed Shiite minority in one of the most oil-rich areas of the world.
“Saudi Sunnis are defending Iraqi Sunnis, and Saudi Shiites are defending Iraqi Shiites,” said Hassan Saffar, Saudi Arabia’s most influential Shiite cleric.
Many Saudi Shiites felt a surge of quiet hope when the U.S. arrived in Iraq three years ago. Emboldened by their Iraqi brethren’s escape from the oppressive rule of Saddam Hussein, Saudi Shiites began to demand – and win – freedoms of their own.
But today, Shiites are being accused of harboring links to Iran, a longtime nemesis of the Saudi government.
