Iranian Revolutionary Guard Trainers Prepared Hizbollah better than Israel Anticipated!

The IDF sent out emergency calls for 5,000 reserve soldiers today in add iti
on to the reserves already called up, according the Jerusalem Post.
The Israeli military is massing on the southern Lebanese border. The Knesset is meeting to decide whether or not to go in and take enough of Lebanese territory zone to establish a “buffer zone” between themselves and Hizbollah. There is widespread speculation as to how wide a buffer zone they intend to establish.
If they go in, and I believe the odds are in favor of it, I believe they will attempt to do the following:
1. Thoroughly clean out whatever width of buffer zone they do decide to establish. By “clean out” I mean full destruction of Hizbollah military capabilities in it, so clean that even UN troops could control it.
2. Eventually, Israel will withdraw from it and allow the United Nations to keep it clean, but only after iron clad assurances they will not repeat their pitiful performance that led to the current situation.
Of course, the UN would be “gung ho” for the first couple of years, but after that would let the same old situation come into existence again.
Several times in his speech yesterday, the leading spokesman for the UN used the expression “alleged militants” in his speech as to how the UN should deal with the current crisis, refra
ining from calling them what they are, raging terrorists. So how much of an effort would the UN make against people they fear
they might offend by calling them what they are? So, in my opinion, the current situation in the Middle East is not going to immediately turn into the tribulation period, but is rather setting the stage for it to begin at a later date
The Hizbollah has turned out to be a tougher nut to crack than Israel expected. I knew they were tough, and have written numerous Archive Prophecy Updates and Blogs to that effect but, quite frankly, they have been better prepared by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard than what I anticipated. I really thought the conflict would be over in less than a month at the most, and still do, but it could go on longer. I would not have been surprised if it had lasted less than two weeks, and it still could, but now it appears the best estimate should be stated as “about a month or so.”
The real significance of the current conflict is that it is a preview of the coming Jihad, which I believe is likely to begin in much the same way as this conflict.
My best guesstimate for this future Jihad, to be launched against Israel from the north, is at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, but it is a guess, no more and no less. However, after Israel goes north over its northern border at that time, we will see Israel suddenly being pushed south, rather than her enemies being pushed north.
Since all eyes are now fixed on Hizbollah, I believe it appropriate that I cover again information we issued in the past on this terrorist army as to its origin and purpose.
Hizbollah began as a 1982 group of imported Iranian Shiites recruiting rabble native Lebanese Shiite elements, which later were responsible for Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. The influx of more imported, highly trained, elements from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was instrumental in ever increasing numbers of native Shiite Lebanese being recruited into the movement. Hizbollah changed from a terrorist group to a terrorist army of well trained militia, who began to turn southern Lebanon into a fortified complex consisting of many tunnels, and reinforced bunkers, which provided safe storage zones for their weaponry. Iran was happy to provide a continual flow of rockets into these storage zones via Syria. The terror army of Hizbollah came to be headed by a Shiite Cleric trained in Iran. He is a very efficient military planner, and well schooled in Persian deception. He is determined to destroy Israel, just as much as those who gave him his military degree in hate and destruction.
Israel has been rather surprised at the difficulty it has encountered in digging out a well entrenched militia in southern Lebanon. They will succeed, but it is taking them longer, and with a loss of more soldiers than they anticipated.

Analysis: The Ground Operation has begun under our Noses
By Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondents
July 21, 2006
AVIVIM − Right under our noses, the Israel Defense Forces ground operation in Lebanon began Thursday. What was described as a minor commando operation was in fact a fairly large assault, involving several specialized units that are entering villages, carrying out searches and engaging in hard, close-range fighting with Hezbollah units.
The air force’s limited success and the continued rocket attacks against northern Israel have drawn the IDF into Lebanon, where it is confronted by a well-organized, well trained and highly motivated Hezbollah force. In two days of fighting, eight soldiers belonging to the IDF’s best units have died.
The losses on the other side are grater, even if they are not being released.
On the other hand, there was a decline in the number of rockets fired on Israel, with some 35 to 40 rockets striking fields in the upper Galilee.
E arly Wednesd
ay morning, IDF troops moved against a Hezbollah position near the village of Maroun Ras, just north of Avivim. At first light, the soldiers discovered a metal door leading to a subterranean bunker complex. It was impossible to see the complex from the air, and it enabled Hezbollah militants to hide after firing rockets against the north. These “nature preserves,” as the IDF terms such well camouflaged positions, are where the ground fighting is now taking place, from Rosh Hanikra in the west to Kiryat Shmona in the east.
On Thursday, six IDF soldiers were killed very near this same place.
Called-up reservists have been deployed to the West Bank so that commando forces can be moved to the border area.
As for the officers involved in the ground operations of the past two days, they do not hide the fact that it is going to be tough going.

Begin Extractions from Report by Lewis Lipkin
Part of the information which follows was taken from a report by Lewis Lipkin, which was listed under the title “HIZBOLLAH INTERNATIONAL.” We included this information some time ago on our web site, but are repeating it now for obvious reasons.
Hizbollah was officially inaugurated in June of 1982. At that time the Sunni Syrian government allowed the Shi’ite Iranian government to send a specialized group of 1000 into the north-south oriented Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, a long valley that had been occupied by some 60,000 Syrian forces. The group of 1000 was made up of military and religious teachers, who were members of the Ayatollah Khomeni’s Revolutionary Guards, and whose primary function was to establish a connection with Lebanon’s Shi’ia revolutionists. The first year of activity by this group was directed toward staying out of the limelight, during which time it could grow into a structured operational army of terrorists dedicated to the destruction of Israel and, eventually, when it grew sufficiently, to the destruction of all nations outside the protection and approval of its god Allah. It grew rapidly from its onset, recruiting the young Lebanese Shi’ites to its mission.
Its military wing swelled due to abundant Iranian funding from huge oil revenues and the Syrian permissive attitude, which grew as long as western and Israeli forces stayed in Lebanon to promote a fragile peace. By late 1983, the Hizbollah terrorist army had risen to almost 10,000 in number, and then it came out of the international terrorist closet forever by the truck bombing of the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beirut. The ruthless slaughter of 241 of the 300 sleeping marines, as well as 56 France paratroopers in a separate incident, led to the withdrawal of the multilateral peace keeping force from all of Lebanon, with the exception of Syria, which then, for all practical purposes, took over Lebanon, at times referring to it as “greater” Syria. The loss of American marines was officially denounced by Islamic governments while their people celebrated wildly in their streets. Hizbollah had been so cleverly kept under wraps by Syria and Iran, that the attack was attributed to some vague “Shi’ite militant group.”
The Iranians succeeded in gaining the most control over Syria’s Shi’ite group, the Amal militia. They expanded from the Bekaa valley and became dominant in all of Lebanon’s southern Shi’ite villages, such that now, in reality, this area is both the territory and stronghold of Hizbollah. The growth of the Hizbollah military wing has been marked by many car-bombings, kidnappings of some West Europeans and Americans, kidnappings and murders of Israelis, many intermittent outbreaks of the shelling of Israeli communities in northern Israel, and, by the close of the twentieth century, more than 4,000 rockets of the Katyusha series had been fired at the single town of Kiryah Shemona. Recent shifts in Syria toward a more militant policy toward the U.S., has caused it to change some of its playing second fiddle to Iran in the control of Hizbollah, and this trend will continue until
the aforementioned Jihad against Israel occurs. Syria is currently in control for when, and how, long shelling of Israel attacks will be conducted, but the real control of Hizbollah still lies in the hands of Iran.
Hizbollah has been steadily spreading its terrorist cells across the surface of the earth. It has organized cells in Europe, the United States, and South America. They are named “The Party of God,” and the following quote from Martin Kramer’s book, “Hizbollah’s Vision of the West,” makes plain their future intentions and bonding with Iran.
“We are the sons of the Nation of Hizbollah, whose vanguard God made victorious in Iran, reestablishing the nucleus of a central Islamic state in the world. We abide by the orders of the sole and wise and just command represented by the Supreme Jurisconsult who meets the necessary qualifications, and who is presently incarnate in the Imam and Guide, the great Ayatollah Ruhallah Al-Musawi Al-Khomeini, may his authority be perpetuated, enabler of the revolution of Muslims and harbinger of their glorious Renaissance.”
The Iranian– Hizbollah program for WORLD conquest was set forth by Khomeini while he was still in exile.
He stated: “There are two kinds of war in Islam: one is called jihad (holy war), which means the conquest of other countries in accordance with certain conditions. The o ther type of war is to preserve
the independence of the Muslim country and the repulsion of foreigners. Jihad, or holy war, which is for the conquest of other countries and kingdoms, becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic state in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent upon all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of other countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in EVERY country in the WORLD.”
The planned conquest of Israel by Islam is not the end of Islamic fanatic
ism generated out of Iran.
This is the pure religious zeal that drives men and women to pay the ultimate price of their lives to bring the religion of Allah to all nations of the world through conquest.
This religion represents the joy of physical death in Jihad as a rare privilege that gives one a position of eternal joy in the heaven of Allah.
The day after September 11, 2001, President Bush was quick to declare that a war on terror would be directed against ALL terrorist groups of “global reach.” The Party of God is just as much a terrorist group as the Al Queda, but does not arouse the same degree of reaction or concern in the American media and government, most likely because it has not yet struck at America’s heartland. Rest assured that in time it will soon do so at the command of Syria and Iran.
Last week’s article by Haaretz Correspondence Nathan Guttman stated that Hizbollah has been moving many fighters to Iraq to battle American troops and those who favor the new Iraqi government.
The transfer has been carried out through Syria, following an Iranian initiative. The transit through Syrian territory is being permitted by Damascus along its lengthy porous border with Iraq.
Lebanese Hizbollah fighters are part of a broader force of pro-Iranian militants that operates in Iraq to destabilize the country and undermine the intent of the Americans to formulate an independent country with civil liberties. Both Syria and Iran are anxious to see the Hizbollah establish solid operational units in Iraq before the new government is in place next week. The Congressional bipartisan commission, in its interim report, indicated its inquiry into the 9/11 event showed that cooperation between Hizbollah and Al-Qaida is extensive.
The local Hizbollah “specialty,” the occasional shelling of northern Israeli towns, is now almost certainly under Syrian control. The timing and intensity of such recent shelling has been taken as a barometer of Syria’s choice of Iraq as its bedfellow as it pulls ever further from any meaningful relations with the U.S. and Israel.

I believe we are currently watching a carbon copy of what will trigger a future Jihad, whose outcome will be quite different from the present one!
One of these days, likely between 2008 and 2012, terrorists will launch a particularly heavy shelling into some of the northern Israeli cities, which will be intended to be the straw that breaks the back of Israel’s patience. The King of the North will have a massive force of Islamic nations lying concealed in the long, deep NE-SW Palmyra fold valleys of southwestern Syria, poised and waiting for the push north into Lebanese-Syrian territory by Israel, the king of the south, in retaliation for the shelling. Israel will be stunned at the massiveness and effectiveness of the force repulsing them, and the following Scriptures will be fulfilled in quick order. The king of the north will drive south in Israel to Beersheba and conquer all of Egypt.
Daniel 11:40-43 – 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. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Zechariah 13:8 – 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.
Revelation 12:6 – 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.
