Following His Pushing of Israelis Into The Beersheba Negev Wilderness!

I began my military career in 1951, the same year General Douglas Macarthur gave his famous farewell address to Congress. He was my favorite American General of World War II.. I will never forget what he said concerning the attempt to maintain a permanent victory by US ground forces connected to the Asian mainland lying East of 40 degrees East Longitude.
“While no man in his right mind would advocate sending our ground forces into continental China, and such was never given a thought” – Gen. Douglas Macarthur
I believe the classification of foreign forces, such as the US, includes any ground forces from any country not on the Asian Mainland .
KING OF NORTH PUSHES ISRAEL INTO THE NEGEV THEN HEADS WEST TO EGYPT!
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.
Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
The political, geophysical, and military positioning of Syria, Iran, and Iraq, from a prospective of having world influence, literally stinks. But the position of Egypt’s Suez Canal, and Cairo, her capital, is outstanding. The antichrist is supposed to be a man of genius in all areas. That being the case, he would be worse than a military academy dropout were he not to take the Suez Canal, and then make Cairo his empire’s capital.
Daniel 11:43 – 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.
The three most “precious things” in Egypt are: the Suez Canal, the Nile River and its Delta, and Cairo, its capital. He will conquer the Suez Canal zone and all of Egypt. So just what is Egypt? Many are inclined to establish it as the land bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the west by Libya, on the south by Sudan, on the southeast by the Red Sea, and on the northeast by its Sinai border with Gaza and Israel’s Negev. And, geographically, that is quite correct.
However, in reality, that is not Egypt. The real Egypt, where her people live, is much, much, smaller.
Egypt is the land along her north and east coastlines up to about two miles inland, the Nile Delta, and the land along the Nile River extending about fifteen miles either side of its banks.
The antichrist will send messages to leaders of two of the original 10 nations confederated with him, namely Libya and Sudan, requesting them to mass their troops along the northern coastal border with Libya, and along the border where the Nile enters Egypt from Sudan. This will cause the diversion of some Egyptian troops away from Cairo and the Suez Canal in order to protect their western and southern borders. And this will allow the antichrist to rapidly push across the Suez Canal into Cairo and along her western and eastern coastlines, then to quickly progress southward down the Nile with little resistance. I believe he will control Egypt within two weeks after he reaches the Suez Canal.
Once he has conquered Egypt, he will make an assessment of his geopolitical position. After having done so, he would be a military fool to return to his home country.
He will establish his capital at Cairo, and will remain there for more than three years. After three years he will receive news that causes him to quickly return to Jerusalem.
If a military leader plans to put down his roots for a while, what would be one of his major concerns? The relationship he has with the rulers of the nations that are on his immediate borders. That is, how sure he is they will not pull a surprise attack on him. So, through the prestigious position he has gained in the eyes of the Islamic world by this time, it will allow him to use the terrorist groups, already in Sudan and Libya, to overthrow their leaders, and in their place to install two of his stooges, where they will remain in control for some three years. He will already have plucked up the ruler of Lebanon, and replaced him with a stooge. It will surprise me if Lebanon, Sudan, and Libya are not the countries from which his stooges
will rule.
Daniel 7:7,24 – I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were THREE of the FIRST horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. [24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue THREE kings.
I believe the kings (rulers) of Lebanon, Libya, and Sudan will be subdued by being personally plucked up by the roots out of their positions of leadership in their own countries, and replaced by puppet rulers who do exactly as the antichrist directs.
Daniel 11:43 – 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.
“At his steps” means “companionship” (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance & Wilson’s O.T. Word Studies). This expression also appears in Judges 4:10, where it appears as “at his feet.”
Judges 4:10 – And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
It represents an Old Testament word picture of a conquered leader or country laying yearly tribute payments before the king of the conquering country, who is setting on his throne, and the tribute is being placed at his feet on the steps leading up to his throne. So I believe the antichrist will place his puppet rulers on the thrones of Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan as those who are in “companionship” with him.
ESTABLISHMENT OF MAHDI ANTICHRIST’S GREAT CALIPHATE!
After the Antichrist conquers Egypt
the initial ten Islamic countries that supported him will be quickly joined by a multiplicity of Islamic nations. His great Caliphate will include Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, all the countries that make up the Saudi Arabian Peninsula, Israel north of Beersheba, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, many of the southern states of the former Soviet Union with large Arab populations, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Having gone to military schools, lived among, worked with, and trained those of the Islamic faith as a much younger man, plus being familiar with prophecy since my youth, I have not only been waiting for many years for the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, but I have also been waiting for the arrival of the 12th Imam on the scene prior to the arrival of Jesus.
I have long believed the 12th Imam Mahdi will be the 11th horn of Daniel 7, and the first beast of John’s Revelation 13. His coming is the great hope of all Islam. The Iranian President is a fanatical believer of his coming, and believes Mahdi will cause universal acceptance of Allah.
I believe his Caliphate Kingdom will have Cairo as its capital.
For more than three years, with the Suez Canal under his control, he will gain worldwide recognition and acclaim in his capital city of Cairo. Israel will be trapped in the Negev for more than three years (See previous updates), and stability will have come to the troubled Middle East. He will supposedly have done what all nations say they are seeking, that is, brought stability to the Middle East. But, during last year of his rule as Caliph, something will cause him to quickly head for Jerusalem.
Begin Excerpt 1 from BBC News
Secret of the Taliban’s success
By M Ilyas Khan BBC News, Islamabad
October 4, 2011
The Taliban hit back with a vengeance following the US-led invasion of 2001
Afghanistan War – 10 years
Graphic: How have Afghan lives changed?
Paul Wood: Could Taliban make a comeback?
Ahmed Rashid: The US ally is now in the frame
With US Marines: ‘This place makes you old fast’
Ten years ago, Taliban fighters in their thousands abandoned power, fled their military posts and melted away into the countryside, allowing Western-led forces to capture Afghanistan without a fight.
Today, that rag-tag militia has evolved into a sophisticated guerrilla force which has recently hit several high-value targets and all but derailed American plans for a smooth and successful drawdown of troops.
Significantly, they have achieved this despite the absence of a charismatic leader, a unified chain
of command and a politico-economic vision.
So how did they do it?
Until three years after their government was ousted by coalition forces in October 2001, there was little Taliban activity in Afghanistan.
“Taliban were initially welcomed by the Afghan people for bringing a four-year long civil war to an end, but when they started to implement their strict Islamic code, the people got fed up,” says Brig (retired) Mehmood Shah, a former head of security for Pakistan’s north-western tribal areas.
“People welcomed the Americans [because] they saw them as their liberators.
There was no room for the Taliban to stage a comeback immediately.”

I think the Pakistani military… tolerated the Taliban and also helped them”
End Quote Hasan Askari Rizvi Defence analyst
By 2006, however, the Taliban had infiltrated large parts of the south – especially the provinces of Zabul, Kandahar and Helmand.
By 2008, they were spreading out north towards Kabul.
Brig Shah says the Americans made two mistakes which squandered their advantage.
“They focused on military objectives instead of stabilisation and development. And they soon went to fight a war of choice in Iraq, abandoning the war of necessity that had brought them to Afghanistan.”
The lack of reconstruction, and rampant corruption among government officials at a time when millions of refugees were returning from Iran and Pakistan, led to widespread disenchantment and fuelled insurgency, he says.
Sanctuary in Pakistan
But many analysts also point to the role of Pakistan, from where the Taliban had emerged in 1994, and where most of them fled in 2001.
Many feel the current Afghan insurgency was born in the Pakistani tribal region of Waziristan.
While the rest of Afghanistan was quiet, they say, Waziristan was alive with Taliban activity that then made banner headlines around the world.
Pakistan sent troops to the border but did not push the militants out
In 2002, and again in 2004, there were skirmishes between the Taliban and Pakistani troops, which were followed by a series of peace deals with the army that left the Taliban virtually in control of most of Pakistan’s tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.
Most analysts agree – whether publicly or in private – that Pakistan’s security establishment allowed the Taliban to turn Waziristan into a militant sanctuary despite having the capacity to eliminate them.
“I think the military was divided on the issue. It tolerated them, and also helped them,” says Dr Hasan Askari Rizvi, a defence analyst.
Coalition troops suffered their earliest casualties in south-eastern Afghanistan, just across the border from Waziristan.
It was the fighting in the south-east, and later in the north-east – in Afghanistan’s Kunar province, which is adjacent to the Pak
istani tribal districts of Bajaur and Mohmand – which took up most of their attention during 2002-06.
These developments eclipsed the concentration of Taliban fighters in Pakistan’s south-western province of Balochistan, who started to quietly infiltrate Zabul, Kandahar and Helmand provinces from Toba Kakar, Chaman, Quetta and Chaghai areas.
This development remained unattended both by the Pakistani military and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
The results were predictable enough.
Western officials admit that until 2008-09, coalition forces in the south were unable to hold areas which were important for the Taliban – such as large parts of central Kandahar and southern Helmand where the Taliban set up bomb-making factories, arms caches and defensive positions – and at the same time protect their own lines of communication.
‘Punjabi Taliban’
Since the “troop surge” announced by President Obama in 2010, coalition forces have been able to dislodge the Taliban from their entrenched positions in Kandahar and Helmand.

Emerged in Afghanistan in 1994

Fugitive leader Mullah Omar wanted, whereabouts unknown
Who are the Taliban
?
But the insurgency has now spread wider, to areas around the capital, Kabul, and even to the formerly peaceful provinces of northern Afghanistan.
The Taliban now seem to be relying more on suicide bombings, and spectacular gun-and-bomb attacks to hit targets of great psychological value.
And there is an unending supply of new – and better trained – fighters entering Afghanistan from Pakistani areas, notably Waziristan.
Credible sources tell the BBC that these fighters are mainly Pakistanis, locally called the Punjabi Taliban, who specialise in gun-and-bomb attacks and constitute a major part of the Waziristan-based Haqqani network.
According to these sources, since 2009 these fighters have been travelling up to the border in Pakistani military vehicles, presumably to avoid missile strikes by CIA-operated drones.
A Pakistani military source in the region admits collaboration with these fighters.
The army spokesman, Maj-Gen Athar Abbas, rejects this as “malicious and fabricated”.
“Nothing can be farther from the truth,” he wrote back in a recent text message to me.
But since the recent accusations by US officials that some attacks in Kabul may have been ordered by Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service, questions over the military’s actual role in the Afghan insurgency are now being raised in various quarters within Pakistan.
Many in the West have long held that the key to peace in Afghanistan lies with the Pakistani military.
The coming months will show if that is really the case, and whether Pakistan agrees to comply with the demands of the international community.

Al Qaeda resurgent in Mid East, Africa
DEBKAfile DEBKA-Net-Weekly

Away from the optimistic hype surrounding the “Arab Spring” – especially in Libya – and the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, the coming DEBKA-Net-Weekly out Friday reveals how Western intelligence chiefs secretly sized up the consequences of both at their first conference in ten months.
Their outlook was far from rosy. The West is nowhere near its goals in the Arab world and the war on al Qaeda faces big obstacles in new places.
