Qatar Thorn In Egyptian Army-Saudi Arabia Peninsula-Kuwait Pact!
Pact will be defeated to eventually be part of the Beast’s Caliphate
As US troops pullout of Mid-East the states are choosing their Allies
Aligning as did Seleucid Kings of North & Ptolemy Kings of the South,
And Israel’s caught twixt them fighting against the King of the North.

During the silent years (time of no inspired scripture written between the Old and New Testaments) the Seleucid kings became known as the kings of the north, and the Ptolemaic kings were called the kings of the south.
In Daniel 11:40 to 45 the king of the north represents the old Seleucid kingdom, which at its maximum extent included the territory known today as Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, & Afghanistan.
The old Ptolemy kingdom included the territory known today as Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
Israel will launch the initial attack against the king of the north, but will be repelled by a pre-planned counterattack from Greater Syria. The counterattack will include military forces from Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Once the northern coalition pushes Israel to Beersheba, it will then proceed to declare war on Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and the other Middle East Countries will rapidly form the Mahdi’s Caliphate.
Daniel 11:40-42 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
We begin this Blog with Israel having already lost some 2/3 of its population while being driven into the Negev wilderness by 10 Arab nations led by the antichrist. Once he has driven Israel into the Negev and secured the northern periphery of it to stop a breakout from it, he will leave Israel trapped in it and proceed to his most important military objective, the Suez Canal.
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.
There is no more important zone in the entire Middle East from a military, political, and economic standpoint than the narrow strip of water known as the Suez Canal. World shipping passes through it from the south into the Mediterranean Sea on its way to European ports, and to the ports of the northern Atlantic. It carries southward through its banks the shipping commerce that services the ports of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Siam, the South China Sea, and the vast Pacific Ocean.
I am convinced that the lengthy chain of worldwide earthquake activity will begin at this time with the occurrence of the first earthquake in the book of Revelation, found in 6:12, and that the worldwide activity will continue until the last earthquake of Revelation, found in conjunction with Armageddon in 16:16-18.
Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 16:16-19 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
This surge of worldwide earthquake activity, acting with the element of surprise, and pushing an already weak economy over the edge, will cause the western world and Europe to be more concerned with their own national interest of survival, than in the survival of Israel. Besides, I assure you that, immediately upon the antichrist’s conquest of the Suez Canal, the plans will already have been laid to instantly announce that the status quo of the Suez Canal operations will remain unchanged, and that all nations will have free access through it.
I have always believed that the 10 toes of Daniel’s statue and the 10 horns of his fourth beast are the same as the 10 horns found in Chapters 13 and 17 of Revelation. There is no question in my mind that in the last days of this age the 10 horns were to arise out of the southern flank of the area dominated by the fourth beast of Daniel, which represented the Roman Empire of John’s time. The great Roman Empire, at its maximum expansion, extended into parts of all the nations that I believe will be involved in the support of the antichrist when he drives Israel into the Negev, and then takes over the Suez Canal. I believe those 10 nations will be Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Turkey, and Sudan, and that the Palestinians will attack Israel in coordination with them from within the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Al-Arabiya General Manager Slams Qatar For Its Pro-Mursi Position
Special Dispatch No. 5411
August 19, 2013
In an August 18 article titled “Why Is The Gulf Divided Over Egypt?,” ‘Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed, the general manager of Al-Arabiya TV and a columnist for the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, attacks Qatar for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which, he says, is pushing this country towards chaos and conflict. He points out that, in taking this position, Qatar has come out against all the other Gulf states – namely Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait – who realize that the Muslim Brotherhood poses a danger to Egypt and to the region at large.
Al-Rashed adds that, for the past 20 years (except during a brief period following the advent of the Arab Spring), Qatar has consistently taken a position contrary to that of the other Gulf states, for instance when it provided a media platform for Al-Qaeda, supported Hizbullah and Syria despite their involvement in assassinating Lebanese leaders, and supported the regime of Muammar Al-Qaddafi despite its involvement in assassinations and in violence against Saudi Arabia. These policies, he says, have always backfired. He predicts that Qatar will eventually have to change its position and deal with the existing Egyptian regime
The following are excerpts from an English translation of the article that was posted on Al-Arabiya.[1] The Arabic article was published the same day in Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.[2]
“Ever since Egyptian President Mohammad Mursi was ousted, the Gulf has been embroiled in a storm of controversy that is not much less than what Egypt is witnessing. This has particularly happened in Gulf countries that are considered sympathizers with the [Muslim] Brotherhood… Since there is tension on all levels in the region, it’s only natural that its repercussions will reach the Gulf Arab states.
“Gulf governments are again standing where they stood several years ago. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain are on one side and the Qatari government is on another. Their stances have been made clear through government and media statements. This is happening following a short period of Gulf consensus over almost everything since the Arab Spring began two and a half years ago. Countries like Saudi [Arabia], the UAE and Kuwait are aware of the gravity of chaos in a country like Egypt and think that standing against the status quo may drag Egypt towards disorder. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, as it has clearly shown during the past few weeks, is willing to walk a path towards confrontations and chaos instead of accepting calls for dialogue and reconciliation. These Gulf countries think that pushing Egypt towards chaos means a threat of turning the country into another collapsed state, like Libya and Syria. Egypt’s failure means a threat to the entire Middle East and the region will not stabilize for many decades.
“As for Qatar, it’s really difficult for us to understand its political logic over a country not linked to it on the levels of regimes, ideology and economy. And Egyptians in Qatar [are] only a minority. Its support of the move forcing [of] the army and other political Egyptian parties to adopt the Brotherhood demands is not only impossible but it also has dangerous repercussions. Supporting the Brotherhood at this current phase [only] increases [its] stubborn [insistence] to hold on to [its] stances, leading to an extremely dangerous situation.
“So why is Qatar doing it? We really don’t understand why! Historically and over a period of around 20 years, Qatar has always adopted stances that oppose the positions of its Gulf brothers, and all of Qatar’s opposing policies have ended up unsuccessful. Qatar granted a media [platform to] Al-Qaeda-linked organizations in the 90s and the years that followed, even after this organization targeted Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and the rest of the world. Qatar supported Hizbullah and Iran, although the former participated in assassinating Lebanese figures and occupied the Sunni west Beirut [on May 7, 2008]. It supported the Syrian regime in Lebanon even when Hizbullah murdered March 14 Coalition figures[3] and assassinated former premier Rafiq Hariri. It [endorsed] the Assad regime’s rehabilitation of its relations with the West, particularly with France. It also supported the regime of Muammar [Al-]Qaddafi even after he got involved in assassinations and supported [those who] fight against Saudi [Arabia]. The [shift in] Qatar’s policy, [from] standing with Iran, Hizbullah, Assad and Qaddafi [to] standing against them after the Arab Spring, was quite [quick].
“I am confident that Qatar will later alter its policy towards Egypt and that it will be forced to deal with the exisiting Egyptian regime, because Egypt is an influential country that no Arab state can ignore or be hostile to. The situation is now more dangerous than before, because during Hosni Mubarak’s reign, the [Egyptian] regime felt less threatened and was less effective. But the current regime is now both angry and worried.”
