God’s prophecies He has fulfilled in the past are assurance to each new generation He will perform those yet to be fulfilled.
Isaiah 41:18-23 – I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. [19] I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: [20] That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One
of Israel hath created it. [21] Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. [22] Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
[23] Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
BLOG 6 ENDED WITH AN EXPOSITION OF DANIEL 11:42
Rebellion is preparing the way for the rise of an Islamic Antichrist
To the North of Israel in What was once called ‘Greater Syria’
It is likely to start a Middle East War twixt 2013 and 2015
I have long been an admirer of the articles written by Daniel Pipes. I have long believed the bulk of the major forces involved in the Daniel 11:40 counterattack against Israel, would be Syria, Turkey, and Lebanon.
I believe Jordan will support these three AFTER the counterattack begins, which is one of the reasons Jordan is bypassed by Antichrist on his way to attack Egypt AFTER he drives Israel in
to the Negev Wilderness. Many other African and Middle East Islamic countries will very quickly announce their full support of his action when they see the success of his counterattack against an Israeli intrusion into Lebanon against Hizbullah.
THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE ATTACK BY THE KING OF THE NORTH WITH THE MAJORITY OF HIS ATTACKING FORCE INITIALLY COMING FROM SYRIA, TURKEY, AND LEBANON. ONCE JORDAN SEES THE ANTICHRIST (KING OF THE NORTH) IS SUCCESSFUL IN PUSHING ISRAEL (KING OF THE SOUTH) TOWARD THE NEGEV, THE MAJORITY PALESTINIAN POPULATION WILL DEPOSE THEIR KING, AND SUPPORT THIS LEADER FROM GREATER SYRIA. IT IS ONE OF THE REASONS HE WILL BYPASS JORDAN, LEAVE ISRAEL CUT OFF IN THE NEGEV, AND HEAD STRAIGHT FOR CAIRO AND EGYPT TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE SUEZ CANAL. EGYPT WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL WHEN THE ANTICHRIST KING FROM GREATER SYRIA ATTACKS ISRAEL AND WILL BE SHOCKED WHEN HE HEADS ACROSS THE NORTHERN SINAI TO CONQUER SUEZ.
Daniel 11:40-42 – 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.
The shortest, most compact, and comprehensive definition of the term “Greater Syria” I have encountered, follows in an advertisement by Google eBook for Daniel Pipes’ Book, which immediately follows:

“[While for many years scholars and journalists have focused on the more obvious manifestations of political life in the Middle East, one major theme has been consistently neglected.
This is Pan-Syrian nationalism–the dream of creating a Greater Syria out of an area now governed by SYRIA, LEBANON, ISRAEL, JORDAN, AND TURKEY. Though not nearly as well
known as Arab or Palestinian nationalism and hardly studied in depth, Pan-Syrianism has had a profound effect on Middle Eastern politics since the end of World War I. In Greater Syria, the noted Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes provides the first comprehensive account of this intriguing, important, and little understood ideology.]”

Hundreds of thousands protest in Syria, 11 killed

Tanks deployed in Homs where five are killed overnight; six shot in Damascus suburb of Mleeha; police, militia beat Kurdish protesters in northeast.
AMMAN – Syrian forces shot dead at least 11 people and hundreds of thousands demanded an end to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s autocratic rule in widening protests on Friday, rights activists and witnesses said.
Five civilians were killed overnight in Homs, 165 km (100 miles) north of the capital Damascus, when tanks were deployed to halt protests in the besieged city, residents said.

A further six were later shot dead in protests in the Damascus suburb of Mleeha, in Homs, and in the Idlib area in the northwest, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the National Organization for Human Rights said.
The four-month-old uprising is the biggest challenge to Assad’s authority since he succeeded his father 11 years ago and it is spreading.
Rights activists reported protests after Friday prayers in several places — the Medan district of Damascus, Latakia on the coast, Deraa in the south and Deir al-Zor in the east — as well as Homs, the latest focus of the armed crackdown on protesters.
“Tanks and armored vehicles have deployed in Homs thoroughfares, but in every street adjacent to them there are people in the streets,” a resident of Homs, who gave his name as Osama, said by telephone.
Once confined to outlying towns and rural regions, the uprising has now taken a firm hold in cities such as Homs and Hama, scene of a 1982 massacre by the military.
In the first such crackdown on Kurds since the uprising began, dozens of people were wounded when police and militia used batons
and teargas against protesters in the mainly Kurdish northeastern city of Qamishli, witnesses said.
The protesters demanded political freedoms and an end to state-endorsed discrimination against Syria’s 1 million Kurds, as well as voicing solidarity with the protesters elsewhere.
