UN calls for restraint in Iraq after days of clashes
April 27, 2013
The UN envoy to Iraq has called for restraint by all sides amid a wave of violence that has left more than 150 people dead since Tuesday.
Martin Kobler urged leaders “not to let anger win over peace”, warning that their country was “at a crossroads”.
Earlier, at least five people were killed by a series of bomb blasts at Sunni mosques in the capital, Baghdad.
Government forces also entered the northern town of Suleiman Beg, a day after it was seized by Sunni gunmen.
Officials said the gunmen had withdrawn after a deal with tribal leaders.
The incident followed clashes in several Iraqi towns and cities, which were sparked by an army raid on an anti-government protest camp near another northern town, Hawija, on Tuesday that left 50 people dead.
Although the violence is below the heights of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007, it is the most widespread since US troops withdrew in 2011.
Cleric’s warning
Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, a Shia whose resignation the protesters in Hawija had demanded, has said Iraq is in danger of returning to “sectarian civil war”.
The warning was echoed on Friday by Mr Kobler, who said: “I call on the conscience of all religious and political leaders not to let anger win over peace, and to use their wisdom, because the country is at a crossroads.”
Tens of thousands of Sunnis took to the streets of the towns of Ramadi and Falluja, in the western province of Anbar, following Friday prayers to express their anger at the alleged targeting of their community.
In Ramadi, a cleric wearing military uniform gave security forces 24 hours to leave the town, warning that he would not be responsible for what happened after that, according to the Reuters news agency.
Meanwhile, a bomb exploded outside a Sunni mosque in a southern district of Baghdad, killing four worshippers at the end of Friday prayers.
Minutes later, at least one other person was killed by another blast near a mosque in the Rashidiya area, 20km (12 miles) north of the capital.
A soldier was also killed in a third bombing outside a Sunni mosque in the north-eastern Shaab district of Baghdad, according to Reuters. A bomb also reportedly killed one person outside a Shia mosque nearby.

EXCERPT 1
SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 114B
April 6, 2003
How Will the New Iraq Fit in the Prophetic Pattern?
I have had several queries as to how I thought the new Iraqi would fit into future Middle East prophetic events. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to see a new regime coming into Iraq. In Prophecy Update 80A, August 11, 2002, titled, “Saddam Hussein – Middle East Wild Card,” I outlined my frustration as to his unpredictability, and the rest of the title, “Why the U.S. is Determined to Replace Him!,” has now borne fruit. In Prophecy Update Number 80B, August 12, titled, “Another Iraqi Attack Indicator?,” I showed something the U.S. was doing in Israel that was a prelude to the eventual attack against Iraqi.
In reality, the new Iraqi regime will eventually develop a much better relationship with Iran and Syria than Saddam. But make no mistake, the Islamic mindset of the new regime may outwardly seem to be amenable toward Israel, but eventually they must regress to their inward true Arab desire to see Israel driven into the sea. In Prophecy Update 81A, I first discussed a border meeting between Saddam and Bashar Assad, the Syrian President. I have a sneaky suspicion the meeting involved the concealment of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction under the border zone between Syria and Iraq.
Update 81A, dated August 17, 2002, and titled “More ‘Strategic Dialogue’ Among the 10 Toes,” may be read in our Prophecy Archives at the top of this page. It gives the insight as to how the new regime will eventually be linked into the final 10 toes of the great statue of Nebuchadnezzar in the second chapter of Daniel.
Daniel 2:41-44 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 114C
April 7, 2003
Iraq – A Biblical Land of Conquerors and Confusion
The post Saddam government’s character and temperament cannot be expected to maintain a personality that manifests a long-term gratitude for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Its history dictates that initial expressions of thanksgiving must slowly, but surely, return to the standard Islamic attitude toward the big devil United States, and the little devil Israel. It will never degenerate to the Saddam regime madness, but Iraq will be among the 10 nations that attacks Israel some three and on-half years before the final battle of Armageddon.
The new civilian government, which will eventually be installed, will have a violent mixture of the intermingled blood of the 12 sons of Ishmael (the first son of Abraham), the six sons of Keturah by Abraham, and the two sons of Lot (Abraham’s nephew). The first post flood population in the Iraq area was ruled by Noah’s great grandson, Nimrod, who the son of Cush, the son of Ham. Asshur, the grandson of Shem, the son of Noah, peopled the northern part. So, in this area you have the intermingled blood of the descendants of all the aforementioned ancestors. As a matter of fact, the word translated as “mingled” in Daniel 2:43 is “Arab.” The seed of all these ancestors has certainly been “mingled” in the production of offspring, but they have not been able to cleave together continuously except under the control of a very strong leader, and then only for a relatively short period of time. The great Assyrian warrior kings of 800 to 600 B.C., followed by the great Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, and the famous Kurd Saladin from northern Iraq, who united the mingled tribes to drive the crusaders out of Jerusalem in 1187, have shown that only a strong-willed ruler can unite them, and then only for a specific purpose of conquest, which is invariably followed by a period of empire decay as the cleavage of many different bloodlines crumbles. The coming antichrist will be able to unite them for a while, but in the end they will break apart. He will be like Nimrod in character.
Daniel 11:36 – And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Daniel 2:42,43 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
I have always taught that I believed the antichrist would come out of Syria (See Prophecy Updates 62,63,64,65,66,67,68, and 69), but I have repeatedly stated that I am only certain he will come out of the old Assyrian empire, which would include Lebanon, extreme southeastern Turkey, and northern Iraq. So I will be watching very carefully to see if someone from northern Iraq becomes the President of Iraq. It will take a really strong, and extremely clever, ruler to unite the Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish factions across Iraq.
The 10 toes and 10 horns of Daniel are the same 10 horns of John’s first and second beasts. They are not European nations, and the antichrist is not a European. He is the Assyrian of Micah’s fifth chapter, and the 10 toes and 10 horns are basically mingled (Arab) descendants of Abraham, who practice the Islamic faith – a faith that would be the worship of a strange god unknown to Abraham. The division of the vast riches of the Iraqi oil fields among the different ethnic groups within Iraq would most certainly gain him a loyal following among all the Islamic clerics.
Daniel 11:37,38 – Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. [38] But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. [39] Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Daniel 7:24 – 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.
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
So, Lord willing, I will be paying very close attention to the interplay between the new Iraqi government, Syria, and Iran. This is going to be a very interesting scenario.
