W aiting for the Fullness of
a very Bad Gentile Play Curtain to Fall!

Romans 11:25,26 – For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
The Bible is quite specific that a false peace must be broken in order for the last three and one half years of the tribulation period to begin. So, in the last century, I was quite curious as to WHY it had to be false, WHAT would cause it to come into place, HOW it would actually be put into place, and WHEN it would be put into place.
I am now confidently satisfied as to WHY, WHAT, and HOW. I am not completely settled as to precisely WHEN the false peace will be broken by an attack from the north against Israel, but I am confident it is likely to occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
I have always taught that the 10 toes of Daniel 2, and the 10 horns of Daniel 7, Revelation 13, and Revelation 17 were Muslim nations. In my early ministry it was very difficult for me to understand exactly how the biblical “false peace” of I Thessalonians 5:3,4 could ever come to pass. There is, imbedded in the genealogical and faith structures of Islam and Judaism, a hatred that runs through every fiber of their societies, and it will only end when Christ returns, and then only by the rod of the true God. When the security barrier/fence/wall was first proposed in 1968, I took little notice of it at that time.
However, when it became apparent it would be a hard reality early in 2002, one supported by all parties, it let me know it would definitely be finished, no matter what it cost, or which party was in office. Then I became certain I had a part of the answer as to HOW a false forced peace could come into existence. The o ther part of
the Biblical puzzle of HOW came into focus in the second half of 2002 when I really began to keep a daily check on the activities of Hizbollah, the Shiite Terrorist Army of southern Lebanon. From 2002 to the start of the current Israeli and Hizbollah conflict, I watched launchers and katyshua rockets, by the tens of thousands, travel across Syria from Iran into the terror army of Hizbollah, adding to a stock pile that was just under 10,000 when 2002 began.
The thousands of katyshua rockets, expended thus far by Hizbollah in its current conflict with Israel, were initially stored for a future Jihad. Hizbollah never dreamed Israel would launch such an offensive against them for the kidnapping of just two Israeli soldiers, and were shocked when they did so.
Israel’s unanticipated reaction forced Hizbollah to generate massive launchings out of stockpiles held for a future Jihad against Israel as partners with Iranian and Syrian forces. As a direct consequence of this tactical blunder, it will now require years to replace rockets, projectiles, missiles, and other expended weaponry, in basically the same way they have done it over the last four years. I believe they will reach a military sufficiency to carry out the Jihad attack at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
The events of the current Israeli and Hizbollah conflict were quite predictable! So why has the world been so surprised at the strength of Hizbollah, the degree to which it was dug-in, and the fantastic number of Katyshua rockets it had in its possession?

Storing Weaponry for a Future Surprise Islamic Jihad Blitzkrieg
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.

We have witnessed, during the last 27 days, the firing of great numbers of katyshuas taken from vast stockpiles stored underground in Lebanon in countless tunnel complexes. I have been waiting since 1967 for all the Biblical events outlined in prophecy to fill into their slots before the last three and one half years of tribulation before Armageddon. The event which starts the last three and one-half years, I outlined in Archive Special Prophecy Update Number 79D, which follows.

PREPARING FOR THE JUSTIFICATION BLAME GAME!
YOU HIT ME FIRST
YOU BIG BULLY!
In Prophecy Update Number 74D we covered what the title of 79D means when applied to the situation along the border zone of northern Israel with Syria and Lebanon. Events of the last two weeks indicate that Syria may be making long range plans for what I indicated would eventually precede a 10 nation push into Israel from the north. Such a push is not in the immediate future, but this week seems to be setting the groundwork for its eventual occurrence. At the start of this month, while marking Syrian Army Day, President Bashar Assad said Israel alone was responsible for the stalemate in the Middle East peace process, and his top general announced the country was strengthening its military to defend against Israel. In a statement released last week in three top military publications Assad said: “The Israeli governments, especially the current one, through their active eagerness for bloodshed and their desire to swallow Arab lands and expand, are solely responsible for foiling all efforts that aim at achieving peace and stability in the region.”
Assad, who took office in July 2000 after the death of his father, outlined the basis of a just, comprehensive peace as being the complete withdrawal of Israel from the Golan Heights strategic plateau, plus the creation of an independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital. But, in view of the current Israeli policies, Assad said Syria had decided to remain in the state of “full alertness and preparedness.”
Syrian Armed Forces Chief-of-Staff General Hassan Turkmany wrote in a Syrian daily last week that he intended to continue to bolster Syria’s defenses. He said Syrian forces were powerful enough to face challenges, and in decidedly a reference to Israel, said would “inflict a bitter defeat on any aggressor and foil his expansionist plans.”
Meanwhile, last week in Lebanon, which also celebrated Army Day, and where Syria has some 35,000 troops stationed, plus a Hizbullah army of terrorists stationed in its southern quarter, President Emile Lahoud said Israel’s “terrorist” policy is to blame for instability in the Middle East.

The current conflict will end – A Demilitarized Zone will be established in southern Lebanon – And, eventually, they will all settle back into a long winter’s nap. The long winter’s nap will also include the border separations between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
But a repeat performance of what we have seen in July and August will suddenly explode along the northern border of Israel at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
Israel will be in absolute shock when, for the first time since 1948, she finds herself defeated, and in the Negev.

THE INTERNATIONAL JUSTIFICATION BLAME GAME!
WE DID IT BECAUSE THEY ATTACKED US FIRST!
The age of so-called civilized warfare really began in the era of the Napoleonic Wars of 1803 to 1815. And, with the passage of time, it has become increasingly important for the two countries involved in a conflict to convince the rest of the world the other is the culprit who started the conflict. Every time Hitler, in his early conquests, marched his troops into countries to take them over in bloodless battles, he always had an excuse to justify his attacks. Finally, when he came to his planned conquest of the Poles, he could not really find what even remotely seemed like a justifiable reason. So he manufactured one. He had his own SS troops dress up in Polish uniforms and attack a German border outpost. Then the SS put dead Polish bodies in the immediate vicinity of the outpost and had photographers and reporters in to verify their story. Using this farce as justification for his actions, he attacked Poland in September of 1939, and World War II began.
Some interesting developments, involving Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the terrorist groups, particularly Hizbollah, have been occurring along the northern border of Israel with Lebanon. I do not believe what I am now observing in that area will lead to an immediate war, but I suspect it may well do so in the not too distant future. And, if I am correct in my assumptions, it could give Syria justification for attacking Israel in the eyes of most of the international world.
President Bush has demanded that Syria cut it’s backing for the Hizbollah terrorists that operate along the southern border of Lebanon, and that it expel the other Palestinian terrorist groups it currently has operating out of Syria. Damascus now hosts 10 Palestinian terrorist groups, which include the extremist groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. In response to the demands of President Bush, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said: “Syria supports the Lebanese national resistance, including Hizbollah, in resisting Israeli occupation and liberating land.” Concerning the demand that the other terrorist groups in Syria be removed, he said: “Their work is limited to political and media activities, and their offices in Damascus provide political representation to the 400,000 Palestinians who look to attain their rights and return to their land.” Israel has repeatedly warned Syria that if Hizbollah continued its border attacks on Israeli civilians and troops on its northern border, they would start hitting targets in Syria in retaliation.
Bashar has responded by saying that Syria would defend itself against any Israeli action. He said: “If the Israeli government involves itself in waging aggression on the territory of Syria, then Syria will defend itself.”
So far Israel’s policy against recent Hizbollah attacks has shown remarkable restraint, probably because of not wanting to open a second front of conflict to the one they now have going in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Even though seven Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hizbollah terrorist team that penetrated the border fence, Israel has held back from violent retaliation.
And now Bashar al-Assad has joined with Iran to provide heavier rockets for the Hizbollah arsenal of terror. Israeli officials have watched Hizbollah deploy thousands of new missiles and rockets that are aimed at Israeli civilian population centers.
Once Israel has completed its long buffer zone fence around the West Bank, and beefed up the one it already has around the Gaza Strip, it will become confident it has finally achieved the impossible, it will say it has “peace and safety.” And all the time that it was tied up internally in so doing, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon will have been slowly slipping troops in position for a lightning Jihad from the north. Israel’s preoccupation with its internal safety is going to cause them to slack off in their gaze on what is going on externally.
During the time that Alexander’s great empire had been divided into four sections, the Syrian section (Seleucid) held Israel some of the time, and the Egyptian section (Ptolemy) held it when they took
it from the Syrians. Israel was at times a part of the Egyptian section, at times a part of the Syrian section, and at times a part of both. Daniel lists a very long series of battles between the king of the north (Syria) and the king of the South (Egypt). Most of Daniel’s prophecies about these two kingdoms were fulfilled by their many kings from Daniel 11:4 through 35, but there remains one war yet to be fulfilled, and I believe it is the aforementioned Jihad that begins in Daniel 11:40. Since Israel was once part of the section occupied by Ptolemy, I am persuaded that Israel is the king of the south and Syria is the king of the north in Daniel 11:40-45.
I suspect that after Israel has lulled itself into a false sense of peace and safety by its military might, it will have gained even more confidence in its great ability to take care of any Islamic intrusion. It may well be that Syria will get Hizbollah to kick up a storm of activity along the northern border by launching a massive missile and rocket attack across the border into the populations of northern Israel. Syria will do this knowing that Israel will cross the border into Lebanon and hit Syrian targets from the air. But this time Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran will be waiting for it, and six other Islamic nations will be poised to supply logistical support. The Islamic nations can cry out while they head south: “We were attacked first! We are justified in our response to this Israeli invasion of our sovereign territory.” This will cause a hesitation by the western world at first and, by the time it wakes up, Jerusalem will have fallen, and Israel will be fleeing into the Negev.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Daniel 11:40 – 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.
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.
First comes a time when Israel actually believes it can maintain “peace and safety.” Then a time of false “peace and safety” sets in for a brief period. Then a border incident! Then a response! Then a Jihad, and the last 1260 days of the tribulation period are under way.

This has been the most exciting time of my life – I am finally watching the picture come together that my fathers died without seeing.
I Corinthians 15:51,52 – Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Revelation 10:7 – But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 11:15,18 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
