A growing Problem with Israeli Ground and Air Superiority!
March 4, 2007
The Islamic military’s acquisition of multiple high tech weaponry, has dramatically changed the once great military advantage held by Israel since the 1967 war,
In the 1967 and 1973 wars between Syria and Israel, the IAF dominated the skies, while the Israeli tank corps dominated the surface, being far superior to their Syrian counterparts.
Syria’s acquisition of high tech anti-aircraft missiles, and new anti-tank missiles that can penetrate the Western-made tanks, is
canceling out some of that advantage.
Russia has crouched like an old wounded bear since her economic and political crash in the last century, but she has continued to produce new high tech weapons, the sale of which to Iran and Syria have rescued her economy, while Putin has consolidated his power as the ruler of Russia.
These high tech weapons, combined with the numerical superiority of the Arab forces, will be instrumental in Israel being driven into the Negev Wilderness by 10 Islamic nations in the next war.
Russia, China, and Europe will not be a part of the initial attack against Israel.
However, some three and one-half years after the Islamic forces drive Israel south of Beersheba, they will join with them to come against Israel at the final battle in the war, the battle of Armageddon.
I believe we are eventually headed for a hudna false peace between the PA and Israel, which will end in a vicious Jihad attack that drives Israel into the Negev, where she will remain for some 1260 days. I guesstimate the initial attack is likely to occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.

J’lem slams Russian decision to supply weapons to Syria
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
March 2, 2007
Jerusalem aimed harsh criticism at Russia on Friday for its decision to supply Syria with advanced missiles, including anti-aircraft missiles and new anti-tank missiles that can penetrate Western-made tanks.
Senior Israeli officials expressed concerns that the arms would be transferred to Hizbullah, warning that missiles that were supplied to Syria in the past got into the hands of the group and were used against IDF tanks during the summer’s war in Lebanon.
Vice Premier Shimon Peres said that the supply of arms to Syria “encouraged Damascus to turn to war.”
“Syria is moving between peace overtures and its temptations to go to war to which arms supply is an incentive,” added Peres.
The vice premier went on to say that the UN had admitted that
the weapons flow from Syria to Hizbullah was continuing, adding that Israel needed to exert pressure on Moscow to stop supplying Damascus with arms.
MK Silvan Shalom (Likud) said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “seemingly decided to restore Russia’s Soviet-Empire status,” adding that the Russian president was “playing with fire.”
Shalom told Israel Radio that Damascus had already paid all its dues to Russia in the form of money Moscow had received from Iran.

Syria ups army infrastructure on border
Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST

Syria has spent the past few months constructing and moving infrastructure to its sou
thern border that could be used to launch a war against Israel, senior defense officials have told The Jerusalem Post.
According to the officials, the Syrian military – while restricted in the number of troops it is allowed to deploy along the border – has moved military infrastructure, including fuel depots, closer to the frontier. The Syrians have also built structures in the area that could serve as weapons stores and military bases.
“There is no doubt that something out of the ordinary is taking place on the Syrian side of the border,” a high-ranking official said.
The IDF and Syria raised their levels of alert along the Golan Heights during the second Lebanon war last summer. The IDF has noted a reinforcement of forces on the Syrian side but the meaning of the move is unclear. Some security officials believe Syria is preparing to initiate a war. Others believe that President Bashar Assad is concerned that Syria will be attacked by Israel as Lebanon was last summer, and that the beefing-up of forces is a defensive measure.
The commander of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), deployed in Israel and Syria and responsible for maintaining the cease-fire between the two countries, told the Post in an interview that he had not noticed any military changes on the ground.
“From our point of view the situation is quiet and there is no indication from our side that anything has changed in last weeks or months,” Maj.-Gen. Wolfgang Jilke said in a phone interview from Syria. UNDOF conducts weekly inspections of the demilitarized zones on
the Israeli and Syrian sides of the Golan Heights.
The IDF, however, is not taking any chances, gathering intelligence on Syria on a daily basis using some of the most advanced technology means in existence.

PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 5
February, 2001
Every nation has a war contingency plan. And, the smaller the country, the more imperative is the requirement for a detailed war contingency evacuation plan.
Israel began to formulate, plan, and build her evacuation area in the early fifties.
She chose the only reasonable zone, the Negev wilderness. The Negev comprises more than one-third of the total land area of Israel, beginning just north of Beersheba, and extending all the way southward to the Gulf of Aqaba. Why was the Negev the only reasonable area? From the historical prospective, the majority of Israel’s major conquerors have come down from the north. Even Nebuchadnezzar, whose great empire began to the east of Israel in Babylonia, first went northwest through southern Syria to eventually attack Israel from the north.
Once Israel had signed a peace treaty with Egypt, and then with Jordan, it became evident to her political and military leaders, that they had been correct in selecting the Negev. At present, it appears very unlikely that an attack will be made against Israel from any zone other than the Syria-Lebanon area. Some minister, no one knows who, during the early part of the last century, visited Petra in Jordan, and formed an erroneous opinion, which has become very popular among many teachers of prophecy.
Whoever he was, his military training was sadly lacking, for he looked Petra over, and decided it would make a great defensive position for Israel to occupy, that is, if she ever had to flee her homeland. As a graduate of a military academy, and a retiree from the USAF-NSA, I can assure you, Petra is the worst possible place to evacuate the survivors of a successful Arab attack against Israel. I doubt if the one who first advanced this idea actually walked all the way through Petra’s narrow northern entrance and then continued to walk out on the vast open plain to the southwest. Petra may have been a great place to defend in biblical times with the weaponry of those days, but it would be impossible to defend today.
But there are other compelling reasons why Israel would never flee to Petra.
There are no natural water sources in that area, and water collection by its ingenious ancient inhabitants from desert thunderstorms was never able to support a population of more than 20,000. And food production in the soil horizons of this area could never support the evacuation of one-third of Israel’s population. It is also a certainty that the modern day occupants of Jordan would not offer to help Israel escape the Antichrist. But the belief that Israel will flee to Petra has become so popularized by many prominent ministers, it makes it very difficult to dissuade most followers of prophetic events. However, the fact that Israel has spent billions and billions of dollars turning the Negev into the most fortified, best camouflaged, zone on the earth, gives me the assurance that this is the place the woman Israel, who is described as going into the wilderness in the 12th Chapter of Revelation, will soon end up for the last three and one-half years of the tribulation period. In the next prophetic update, Lord willing, I will discuss the military developments that turned the Negev into the best prepared evacuation zone in the world.
