IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
All the prophesied events are now settling in the place where they were predicted to occur by the Scriptures, namely, the Land of the Bible, the land of Abraham in the Old Testament, and the land of the Wise Men when Christ was born.
The statement made by Army General John Abizaid in the following DEBKAfile article will come to pass – It Is Just a Matter of WHEN! It is my guesstimate that the initial attack which begins it is likely to occur in Israel at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, and that it will end three and one-half later at the final battle of Armageddon. Please continue to read this introduction, which starts again after the DEBKAfile article.

If Islamic militancy is not stopped today, “we’ll go through World War Three tomorrow,” US Middle East chief warns
DEBKAfile
November 18, 2006, 1:59 PM (GMT+02:00)
Addressing a Harvard University audience Saturday, Army Gen. John Abizaid compared the rise of militant ideologies such as the force driving al Qaeda to the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s and said: “If we don’t have guts enough to confront this ideology today, we’ll go through World War Three tomorrow. If not stopped, said the general, “extremists would gain an advantage to gain a safe haven, to develop weapons of mass destruction, to develop a national place from which to operate.
And I think that the dangers associated with that are just too great to comprehend.”

Continuing Introduction
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The sixth vial Scriptures, which immediately precede Revelation 16:16, relate to the cradle of civilization associated as the abode of the demonic kings of Daniel, who stood against the angels of God.
It was the seat of Satan’s kingdom when the Old Testament was written, Babylon and Persia being among the greatest devil and demon worshippers of all the ages. It is identified as the “seat of the Beast” in Revelation 16:10, and the place where the way of the “kings of the east” will be prepared. All this makes the six Scriptures before Revelation 16:16 very intriguing, particularly as it relates to the southeastern route of the Euphrates River. It begins in Turkey, separates Syria into two parts, splits Iraq into two parts, joins the Tigris River, and then flows along the Iranian border just before emptying into the Persian Gulf.
Revelation 16:10-12 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
I have previously identified the three frogs, which come out of the river Euphrates, as being demonic spirits associated with a satanic trinity.
And you can find who I believe “the kings of the east” are in our Archive Prophecy Updates. I believe the three frogs represent a satanic trinity symbolizing Satan, the Beast, and the False Prophet, and I also speculate they may represent demonic kings of Syria, Iraq, and Iran, through which the Euphrates runs its snake like path.
The three frogs are the very spirit of Jihad manifested in the Mahdi, the Antichrist
of the false religion of Islam.
The idea of a demonic being of Satan being the prince of a country in the Middle East is not strange in the Scriptures.
The heavenly be ing that appeared to Daniel was known to have struggled with the demonic pr
ince of Persia in route to visit Daniel.
Daniel 10:5,6, 9-14 – Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: [6] His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. [9] Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. [10] And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. [11] And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent.
And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
[12] Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
[13] But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. [14] Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
Ephesians 6:12 – For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
