Syria and Lebanon Preparing for Jihad from the North!
September 28, 2006
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
The three articles from World Net Daily, DEBKAfile, and Middle East News Line, give a good account of initial preparations by Lebanon and Syria for an attack against Israel, which I have guesstimated is likely to start at some point in time between 2008 and 2012. The question is not IF the attack will occur, the only question is WHEN, and a lot of other prophetic questions will be answered WHEN it occurs.
The dramatic and dynamic chaotic changes per un it time after this attack occurs will be the most frightening time of the Age of the Gentiles, and a horrific way to end
it. The President of Iran has repeatedly stated he believes his role in these days is to stir up chaos.
The chaos God will stir up is so much more that the Iranian leader can begin to imagine.
Joel 2:30,31 – And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. [31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.
Joel 3:14,15 – Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Hizballah Moving Rockets Near Israeli Border
Aaron Klein (World Net Daily)
September 27, 2006
Hizballah has been transporting rockets and heavy weaponry to Palestinian camps in south Lebanon just a few miles from the Israeli border, according to Lebanese officials
.
The office of Lebanese Prime Minister Faud Siniora sent a letter last week to Abbas Zakir, the PA’s most senior representative in Lebanon, outlining the Hizballah weapons transfers into Palestinian camps.
A senior Lebanese official said Hizballah started building a new set of bunker systems, this time in Palestinian camps.
“The Lebanese Army doesn’t have the authority to patrol inside the camps,” said the official.
“Hizballah knows it is safe there to rebuild their war bunkers, and they began doing so with Iranian help.”

UN Force in Lebanon is defined more by what it cannot do than what it can – NY Times. Israeli troops stand by as Hizballah rearms
September 26, 2006, 12:01 PM (GMT+02:00)
The United Nations force
created to police southern Lebanon faces not only a threatening al Qaeda presence cheek by jowl, but endless handicaps in performing its mandated functions. The New York Times correspondent reports: One month after a UN Security Council resolution ended a 34-day war… the international force members say “they cannot set up checkpoints, search cars, homes or businesses or detain suspects. If they see a truck transporting missiles, for example (in violation of the UN arms embargo), they cannot stop it… because under their interpretation of the Security Council resolution (1701) that deployed them, they must first be authorized to take such action by the Lebanese army.” And whereas the Security Council allocated 15,000 troops to expanded UNIFIL, only 5,000 are deployed. According to the NYT, the UN commanders repeat as a mantra that their job is to respect Lebanese sovereignty by supporting the Lebanese army. “They will only do what the Lebanese authorities ask.”
DEBKAfile adds: More than 40% of the Lebanese army consists of Shiites. Their loyalty goes first to Hizballah or their Shiite commanders rather than the Lebanese government.
Israeli officials and commanders have their own mantra which is that there is no Hizballah activity on the ground. The last Israeli forces can therefore pull out of South Lebanon by the end of the month.
DEBKAfile notes that the Olmert government continues to cover up the failure of its war objectives by polishing up its aftermath. The truth is that Hizballah activities are intense but do not figure in the reports of UNIFIL’ s European contingent
s, which have their own agenda. This agenda has whittled down most elements of the mission assigned the UN force by Resolution 1701, which was approved in the first place to prevent Hizballah from continuing its attacks on Israel and destabilizing the area. As for the demand to disarm Hizballah, the paper quotes local Shiites as making it clear “they will fight anybody who tries to take Hizballah’s weapons away. For the forces to remain welcome they must demonstrate they are there to protect the Lebanese from Israel – not to police the Lebanese on behalf of Israel.”
DEBKAfile adds: Hizballah would not need to fight the international force. Al Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman Zawahiri stated in his last videotape this month that UNIFIL in Lebanon is a target for terrorist attack. Hizballah’s hands can therefore stay clean. US Intelligence Director John Negroponte reported last week that Qaeda’s expansion into Lebanon, exploiting the conflict there, is being taken seriously.
The chasm between the Sunni Muslim al Qaeda and Lebanon’s Shiite Hizballah is no bar to collaboration. However, from the Israeli side of the border, yellow-clad, Hizballah flag-waving demonstrators are photographed day by day, throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles and moving into the former locations of the destroyed Hizballah positions. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that just a month after the ceasefire went into effect, Hizballah’s arsenals are filling up again as trucks head south from central and northern Lebanon unimpeded by Israeli or international troops. Israel has still not appointed a new head of the IDF’s Northern command to replace the war commander Maj.-Gen Udi Adam who stepped down last week. As for the international force, its “robust” policing operations have more or less been relegated to the archives of the UN Security Council.

Syria prepares for war against Israel – plans human shields for Golan Assault
TEL AVIV – Middle East News Line [MENL]
Syria, buoyed by Hizbullah’s success against Israel, has ordered its military to prepare for a regional war with the Jewish state.
Israeli intelligence sources said Syrian President Bashar Assad has ordered a series of measures meant to bolster the preparedness of his military.
The sources cited increased training, exercises, procurement as well as an examination of Israeli ground and air battles in Lebanon in July and August.
“We see signs of a new strategy in the Syrian military based on the lessons from the Hizbullah war,” an intelligence source said. “It could take months until the picture becomes clearer.”
The sources said the Intelligence Corps has detected Syrian activities in the Golan Heights that could mark preparations for another war. They said Syria appeared to be planning to bring people to the Golan to serve as a human shield during any conflict with Israel.
