IDF Shifting Resources Away from Conventional Weapons of War!

The IDF Intelligence Estimate of the period 2006 to 2011 in the article which follows, by the Associated Press in the Jerusalem Post, covers the time frame during which I guesstimate a Jihad will be launched against Israel by 10 Arab nations. Things are coming to a climax in the Middle East, and the international commun ity
is filtering its entry into the mix of worldwide confusion that was prophesied to proceed three and a half years of great tribulation. I have always been up front and honest with my guesstimates as to the time the actual attack will finally occur.
It can only be a time guess on my part, no more and no less, but that it will eventually occur is a prophetic certainty. So when I first chose the year 2007 to be the year of destiny for Israel, and the period 2008 to 2012 as the most reasonable time frame for the Jihad attack to occur, I have guesstimated that at some point in time between 2008 and 2012 we will see the initial attack made against Israel from the north. I confess the attack could occur at some point in time before 2008 and at some point in time after 2012, but
the 2008 to 2012 time frame certainly appears me to be the most likely. I have chosen a most likely time frame primarily to hopefully get people
to realize this great event is not a distant event in prophecy, and what is happening in the Middle East will get better only on a very temporary basis. Our reason for initiating our Web Site five years ago was simply to advise people that whatever you are going
to let Jesus do in your life, you had better let him do now.
I have warned repeatedly for years that Israel would shift its emphasis away from conventional weapons and tactics of war, which is a mistake, and will be one of the reasons the future Jihad against them will be able to drive them into the Negev. Please read the following article, and especially the last three paragraphs.

IDF Intelligence Warns Conflict with Palestinians
to Escalate
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
June 5, 2006
The IDF estimates that it is headed
toward another violent round of clashes with the Palestinians following a period of relative calm, senior security officials said.
The dreary prognosis is based on the army’s five-year plan for 2006-2011, which will be made public in July.
According to the assessment, army intelligence officials believe Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s ambitious plan to withdraw from large parts of the West Bank will not do anything to decrease the scope of daily violence in the region.
Instead, the army is moving forward based on a working plan that it is nearing ano
ther round of bloody violence with the Palestinians.
“The Palestinian society has chosen a path in which there is no compromise,” a senior officer said, referring to the recent victory by Hamas in legislative elections.
The officials said the assessment is based on intelligence but gave no further details. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the document has not been released.
The army traditionally has pessimistic outlooks, with working plans based on “worst case scenarios.” However, in the 1990s it also spoke about “a window of opportunity” to make peace with Palestinians.
The No. 1 danger to Israel, as outlined in the five-year plan, is the Iranian nuclear program, which is defined as an “existential threat to Israel.” It is followed by the threat of a renewed low-intensity conflict with the Palestinians.
The third level of threat is all-out war.
In order to prepare for a conflict with the Palestinians, the army will shift its resources toward counter-terrorism units and away from traditional forms of warfare, such as the armor, artillery and engineering corps.
The army’s general staff is expected to formally authorize the five-year plan in early July.
