Out of the several bad, very bad, and even worse choices out of the many different Arab groups fighting in Syria will eventually rise as an 11th Horn in Daniel 7 to lead 10 Islamic horns to an initial victory over Israel from Dan to Beersheba, leaving her surrounded in the Negev Wilderness for some 3 and ½ years. This 11th horn will be the Islamic Mahdi Antichrist the world will see destroyed at the final Armageddon battle as Christ returns at His 2nd Advent to begin His Millennial Reign.
I do not expect the 11th horn to attack Israel while President Obama’s Administration is still in power, but I do believe it will be very near, even at the doors of Israel when the next administration assumes power
Daniel 7:24-27 – 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. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Report: Iran suggests Assad’s time is running out
Iranian parliament speaker offers to host Syrian president when his regime is toppled, Lebanese paper reports

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has expressed willingness to grant Syrian President Bashar Assad asylum when the latter’s regime is ousted, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustaqbal reported Monday. The publication is associated with movements opposing the regime in Damascus.
As the civil war in Syria drags on, it appears that Tehran no longer believes that Assad will be able to hold on to power. Larijani reportedly made the remarks while discussing the Syrian president’s future with officials in Iraq.
“Larijani honestly told senior Iraqi officials that Iran will continue to stand by Assad,” the paper quoted a source familiar with the meeting.
“(…) Larijani emphasized Tehran’s commitment to support Syria until the end, and expressed willingness to host Assad in case matters reach the point of no return,” the paper added.
According to report, the Iranian parliament speaker conveyed the same message on behalf of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during his last meeting with the embattled Syrian leader. Assad did not respond to the offer, saying only that he faces two options: Death or victory.
Meanwhile, the Syrian air force continued to pound rebel bases in suburbs of Damascus. At least 56 were killed in the clashes on Sunday night, including 27 civilians. The Syrian news agency SANA also reported that a car bomb exploded in Homs, killing 15 civilians.
Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Special Report
US, Israel, Turkey, Jordan primed to strike if Assad activates chemical weapons
DEBKAfile Special Report
December 3, 2012, 11:26 PM (GMT+0200)
US forces in the region, Israel, Turkey and Jordan were all braced Monday night, Dec. 3 for action against Syria in case Syrian President Bashar Assad ordered his army’s chemical warfare units to go into action against rebel and civilian targets his own country. None of the Middle East capitals are talking openly about this eventuality to avoiding causing panic.
However, oblique references to the peril and preparations for action came from US officials during Monday. White House spokesman Jay Carney said: “We have an increased concern about the possibility of the regime taking the desperate act of using its chemical weapons.” Such a move “would cross a red line for the United States.”
Without going into specifics, Carney added: “We think it is important to prepare for all scenarios. Contingency planning is the responsible thing to do.”
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Prague was slightly more specific: Syrian action on chemical weapons remains a “red line” for the Obama administration, she said, and “would prompt action from the United States.”
Regarding contingencies, DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the American force in Jordan and Jordanian units, who have been training for two months in tactics against Syrian chemical warfare units, are on a high state of preparedness. So, too, are the three special US command centers set up in Turkey, Jordan and Israel for coordinating such operations.
An American official “with knowledge of the situation” told Wired Magazine that “engineers working for the Assad regime in Syria have begun combining the two chemical precursors needed to weaponize sarin gas.”
Anchored opposite the Syrian shore is the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group with 2,500 Marines. Facing it is the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s naval task force which too has hundreds of marines on its decks.
DEBKAfile’s sources quote high-ranking officers in the Israel Defense Forces’ Northern Command as saying: “The coming hours and days are extremely critical for Syria. The situation on our northern front could blow up any moment.” They did not elaborate.
Later Monday, as the United Nations regional humanitarian coordinator for Syria, Radhouane Nouicer announced the pullout of nonessential international staff “because of the security situation,” Secretary Clinton flew into Brussels from Prague to discuss with NATO foreign ministers the deployment of Patriot anti-missile batteries at 10 points on the Turkish-Syrian border – a massive number.
NATO sources took note of the Syrian Foreign Ministry’s reply to the spreading reports. He said that the government “would not use chemical weapons, if it had them, against its own people under any circumstances.” This statement carried no promise about using such weapons against external forces, whether American, Turkish, Jordanian or Israeli.
In Istanbul, meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters at the end of his one-day visit: “What we are concerned about is Syria’s future. We don’t want the same mistakes to be repeated in the near future.” He went on to say: “We shall remember how some regimes supported the militants in Libya and how the situation ended with the killing of the American ambassador in Libya.”
This was meant by the Russian president as a warning to the US not to get involved in the Syrian crisis as it did in Libya.
