The Lord Always Knows Best!

Last February I decided to make one last trip to Israel while I was still able to do so, or so I thought! I sent out the e-mail, which follows. I immediately started to get in shape
to make the trip. At first I walked a mile a day, them a mile and a half, then two miles, and it seemed all was on schedule. But then I began to be short of breath, and soon I was down to a mile, then half a mile, and then zilch. So I cancelled the trip in April and sent everyone back their deposits. I have now undergone an extensive series of tests and it has been discovered I have narrowing of the arteries.
I have another appointment with Doctor Henry on July 20th. My brother Gary has the same problem and has five stints in his arterial structure. At present that seems to be the path I will trod.
I told you all that to say this – THE LORD ALWAYS KNOWS BEST – if I had been able to take the tour group to Israel we would have been up to our neck in alligators. We would have been near Haifa when they were hit, and traveling through the zone leading to Tiberias, which has been peppered with Hizbollah rockets this week.
Yesterday, we would have been in Tiberias and the Golan Heights. The Hizbollah have pelted the area from Haifa to Tiberias with more than 1300 rockets in the last four days, which is a drop in the bucket to what they have left in southern Lebanon in safe places. I wanted to get the trip in before 2008 for obvious reasons.
As you can see from Archive Prophecy Update Number 89A, which we issued in 2002, I knew Hizbollah had a fantastic arsenal of rockets, and I knew they would eventually unleash them against Israel, but I really thought we could get the trip in before they did.
However, the Lord knew what would happen, and, just as he did in Vietnam, delivered me from the alligators.

I have decided to take one final regular tour group to Israel.
If you are interested, please let me know, and I will send you all the information you will need to make up your mind.
I am currently in the process of getting all the details in a package.
I do not plan to take more than 40 on the tour.

This article details what has just happened in Tiberias for the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and I thank the Lord
I am not there with a tour group. Archive Update 89A, which follows it, reveals the rocket arsenal that Hizbollah had already acquired from Iran via Syria in 2002.

Home Front Command evacuates Kinneret Beaches
JPost Staff and AP, THE JERUSALEM POST
July 15, 2006
For the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the city of Tiberias, located some 35 kilometers south of the Lebanese border on the western bank of the Sea of Galilee, came under a rocket attack on Saturday. Tiberias is located outside the area that
the IDF predicted would be hit by Katyushas.
Three of the six Katyusha rockets fired at the city by Hizbullah landed in residential areas, including two that hit apartment building. One landed near the Club Hotel resort, and one landed 15-20 meters away a gas station. Three people were wounded in the attack.
The Home Front Command was urging residents and visitors in the city to take cover in protected areas.
At least one person was suffering from shock and evacuated to Poriya Hospital, while residents were told to enter shelters and fortified rooms. Local police were patrolling the vacation spot’s beaches and promenades on Saturday afternoon, urging bathers to heed the Home Front Command’s instructions and remain inside fortified rooms.
Moshav Kfar Hitim, near Tiberias, along with Migdal, Evron, and Abu Snan in the western Galilee were also hit.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 89A
October 13, 2002
Storing Weaponry for a Future Surprise Islamic Jihad Blitzkrieg
See Prophecy Updates 74D, 79D, 83G, and 85A
According to senior Israeli and Western officials,
the Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon have already amassed thousands of missiles of the surface to surface variety, and among them those that can strike at major cities in northern Israel. And, even more alarming, they are continuing to flow into southern Lebanon at an alarming rate. I believe they are for a future surprise Jihad after a false peace has finally come to Israel, and are being stored primarily for that purpose.
Most of Hezbollah’s rockets have been provided by Iran, being flown to the Syrian capital, Damascus, then driven by truck
to southern Lebanon, but Syria has recently begun to send rockets of its own, and the missile buildup effort has intensified in the last year. Hezbollah has occasionally launched a few rockets against Israeli military targets just across the border this year, primarily to keep the pressure on Israel while avoiding a major military confrontation with it. They know that Israel does not want to open up a second front while combating internal terrorist groups and waiting for a possible U.S. strike against Iraq.
Hezbollah has accumulated 8,000 to 9,000 smaller Katyusha rockets, which have a range of up to 12 miles. According to Israeli and Western officials. But over the past year Iran has begun to provide them with a variety of longer range systems, including the 240mm Fajre-3 missile, which has a range of some 24 miles, and the 333mm Fajr missile, which has a range of some 42 miles, making it capable of striking the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, and all the Israeli cities in Galilee. Hezbollah also has several hundred Fajr rockets. Additionally, Syria has begun to provide them with 222mm rockets that have a range of up to 18 miles.
I believe that the bulk of all this weaponry, which is continuing to be brought into Lebanon, will eventually be used against Israel after a false period of peace.

End Archive Prophecy Update 89A
Israel is currently doing all it can to destroy the large arsenal of rockets possessed by Hizbollah, and I believe they will
destroy most of them, but they will be replenished before the time frame of 2008 to 2012, and my guesstimate is that they will be unleashed without reservation at some point between these two dates, in conjunction with a massive southward moving Jihad against Israel. As I have previously stated, what we are currently seeing is a preview of coming attractions, which will be much worse than we can now visualize, but will come into full view when the Jihad is finally launched. The ten toes of Daniel’s chapter 2 statue are not ready militarily or politically to start a full scale war with Israel, but my guesstimate is that they will be at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
The next time that Israel repeats this current episode, she will find a ten toed Islamic gorilla waiting for her when she crosses her northern border.
