Syria and Iran planning for an Eventual Jihad from the North!

While Syria keeps speaking of peace they keep preparing for Jihad with Iran. At the same time that Iran and Syria sent representatives to the Baghdad Conference to bring peace to Iraq, they sent representatives to Syria to plan war. Americans in general keep hoping all this Middle East Mess will just go away if they withdraw from it and adopt policies of non-involvement. Quite frankly, according to Scripture, it will not go away no matter what policies we adapt – there is going to be a great war in the Middle East, which will culminate with the battle of Armageddon, no matter what we do.
So what should individuals do? Since believers know what is coming, they should “Watch” by making an effort “to keep their garments” as indicated in Revelation 16:15. Unbelievers are supposed to exercise Acts 20:21.
The three articles, which follow the Scriptures, are indicative of
the war for which preparations are now being made by Syria and Iran.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation 16:15,16 – Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watc
heth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Acts 20:20,21 – And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, [21] Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
No one knows the exact time the final war of wars will begin, but the Scriptures do indicate that believers are not the children of darkness, and we should know when the time is drawing near for the end of this age of the Gentiles.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
My guesstimate is that the attack is likely to occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, but it is a guess, no more and no less!

Israel: Syria Deploying Thousands of Rockets on Border

Syria has positioned on its border with Israel
thousands of rockets capable of striking major towns across northern Israel, Israeli military and government sources said.
This deployment, coupled with other recent reports of Syrian troop mobilization, is seen in Israel as an indication that Damascus may be preparing for future “low intensity warfare,” they said. “We have noticed that in recent months Syria has deployed hundreds, possibly thousands, of medium- and long-range rockets along the border,” one military source said.
“Many of the rockets are hidden in underground chambers and in camouflaged silos.”
Syria has built a system of fortified underground tunnels along its border with Israel. According to the sources, such a massive deployment of well-entrenched rockets poses “a real strategic threat” to Israel. (AFP/Yahoo)
