It is Merely a Question of WHEN the King of the South (Israel) pushes North against the King of the North (Syria) and Daniel 11:40 to 12:1 starts to be Fulfilled!

Daniel 11:40,41 – And AT THE TIME OF THE END shall the king of the south (ISRAEL) push at him (KING OF THE NORTH): and the king of the north (SYRIA) shall come against him (ISRAEL) like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he (KING OF THE NORTH) shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land (ISRAEL), 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.
The antichrist’s initial thrust from the north into the glorious land of Israel will be a two-pronged attack. The Lebanese and Syrian troops will move rapidly south along the base of the western mountains of Galilee and Samaria, and then dig in along the foothills of these two ranges. The Palestinian troops will move quickly north from the Gaza Strip along the base of the western mountain bluffs of Samaria to link up with the Lebanese and Syrian Units, and then they will dig in below the bluffs. The Palestinians will also slide westward down the western slopes of the West Bank to join the dug in forces from the north and the south. The whole purpose will be to box in the coastal zone from Tel Aviv to Haifa, where some seventy percent of the Jewish population abides. A constant hammering of Katyusha rockets will shower down from the high interior elevations around Tulkarm, Qalkilya, and Jenin onto the coastal plain from Tel Aviv to Haifa. This is the first prong of the attack in a plan to “divide and conquer,” one of the oldest military strategies in the manual.
The smuggling of shoulder held anti-tank weapons, several types of rockets, and some anti-aircraft missiles through the Gaza Strip via way of the Egyptian Sinai is well known and continuing at the present time.
It will keep the Israeli coastal plain forces bottled up while the second prong attack sweeps south along the eastern slopes of the mountains of Galilee and Samaria.
Syrian, Iranian, and Iraqi troops will employ a lightning blitzkrieg Jihad strike down the Jordan Valley. The forces of the Palestinian Authority, which have long been smuggling shoulder held anti-tank missile weaponry across the Jordan at night, will come down eastward out of the hundreds of erosion valleys of the Samarian hills, and attack all Israeli tank units proceeding north to intercept the Arab tank divisions. Israel, which has the best Air Force in the world, will be faced with a literal flooding of the skies with inferior aircraft and pilots, such that they will have a turkey shoot.
However, their preoccupation with the destruction of Islamic aircraft will greatly hinder the destruction of the mechanized Arab ground forces. Furthermore, the closeness of the battlefield array of Israeli and Islamic tanks will afford Arab tanks a form of protection from air attacks, in that a fear of casualties from friendly fire will be fully justified.
As the forces of antichrist advance down the Jordan Valley, they will not attack Jordan, but will bypass it. You may use any map showing the lands occupied in 600 B.C. by the descendents of the two sons of Lot, Ammon and Moab, and by the descendents of Jacob’s brother, Esau or Edom, and it will be readily apparent to you that the descendants of these three men were all living w
ithin the confines of the modern day country we know as Jordan. The country of Jordan has no real military, political, or economic value to the antichrist, so it will be bypassed, much as the Japanese held islands of the Pacific were bypassed on the way to Japan. Later, after Jerusalem falls, Jordan will of course pledge allegiance to him and become a part of his empire, but only after he has plucked up their ruler. The antichrist’s troops will reach the midst of Israel within four days after the Jihad attack begins and Jerusalem will fall.
The United States is absolutely confident, based on Israel’s victories over the Arabs in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973, that what I have just described cannot happen. They will do nothing for this reason, and before they get over their shock, Israel will have been driven into their war contingency evacuation area south of Beersheba. As has been the case in Israel’s four previous conflicts with the Arabs, a truce will be called for by the United Nations, and both the Arabs and Israel will agree to it. Modern day Israel, as they were in the time of the Prophet Moses, will once again be in the wilderness of Israel, with their enemies holding the land from Dan to Beersheba. But this time they will not have to wait for 40 years to go in and possess it, having only to wait for some three and one-half years.
We will be seeing an ever increasing attempt by Syria and Hizbollah in the north attempting to generate more unrest among the pre-occupation Syrian citizens of the Golan prior to 1967. The Golan in Syrian hands would create a major military advantage in a Jihad.
There will be many more efforts by the Syrian government similar to the ones described in the following two articles from SANA and World Net Daily Jerusalem Bureau.

New Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights

JERUSALEM – Top members of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s Baath Party were advised in a private briefing to purchase real estate in the Golan Heights because, they were told, the strategic territory will “very soon” be returned to Syria, a Baath official told WorldNetDaily.
“This is not a political recommendation. It was made in private to top officials because it is absolutely estimated that Syria will very soon get the Golan Heights back,” the official said. “We’ve been instructed to purchase what will become prime real estate for us.”
The Golan Heights is mountainous territory captured by the Jewish state after Syria used the terrain to attack Israel in 1967 and again in 1973.
The Heights looks down on major Israeli and Syrian population centers.
It borders Israel, Syria and Lebanon and is claimed by Damascus.
Military officials say returning the Golan Heights to Syria would grant Damascus the ability to mount an effective ground invasion of the Jewish state.
Currently, eight Syrian Baath officials live in the Israeli-occupied sections of the Golan Heights. They can technically become Israeli residents. The Heights has a population of about 35,000 people – approximately 18,000 Jewish residents and 17,000 Arabs, mostly Druze. The Arab residents retain their Syrian citizenship, but under Israeli law can also sue for Israeli citizenship.
The recommendation for Baath officials to purchase Golan Heights real estate follows reports that Syria is forming its own Hezbollah-like guerrilla organizations to fight Israel in hopes of “liberating” the Golan.
Yesterday, a previously unknown organization calling itself the Men of the National Syrian Resistance faxed statements to news agencies threatening to kidnap Israeli soldiers in the Golan Heights.
Earlier this month, WorldNetDaily broke the story Syria is in the process of forming what a Baath Party official called the Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights, a new “resistance” group that models itself after Hezbollah.
The official told WND Syria learned from Hezbollah’s military campaign against Israel the past month that “fighting” is more effective than peace negotiations with regard to gaining territory.
Hezbollah claims its goal is to liberate the Shebaa Farms,
a small, 125-square-mile bloc situated between Syria, Lebanon and Israel. The cease-fire resolution accepted by Israel to end its military campaign in Lebanon calls for negotiations leading to Israel’s relinquishing of the Shebaa Farms.
The Baath official told WND the Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights was formed in June and that the group currently consists of Syrian volunteers, many from the Syrian border with Turkey and from Palestinian refugee camps near Damascus. He said Syria held registration for volunteers to join the Front in June.
This week state-run Al-Alam Iranian television featured an interview with a man who identified himself as the leader of the new Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights.
The man, whose features were blocked out, said his new group consists of “hundreds” of fighters who are training for guerrilla-like raids against Israeli positions in and near the Golan. He claimed the Front has opened several training camps inside Syria.
