Jumping Ship




Democrats aren't the only ones jumping off the Obama canoe. While he attempts to sweet talk his way out of his "progressive" mess, leaders around the world are beginning to see the empty shell for what it is...and empty shell that talks a good talk.
Most recently, European Union leaders have turned aside from Obama's Middle East debacle and are attempting to bring their own solution to the table. This, of course, is the region of the world in which the Jews were rejected, excised, and put to death within the last 100 years. This is the part of the world in which Muslims are gaining ground so quickly it makes my head spin. Their solution takes Obama's bus, from which the Israelis were tossed, and turns it into a means to run the Jews over. Their plan will call for the division of Jerusalem, and a full recognition of a Palestinian state.
There are still many Israelis that seek to negotiate the problem toward a peaceful solution. The commentator below is one such individual. While concessions can still be made to bring about peace, that peace will be short-lived. The Palestinians, lackeys of the greater Radical world of Islam, have only one goal...to take back all the land! That means de-occupying every Israeli from Palestine. In other words, we are only going to go so far before something major takes place.

Washington Watch: Turn, turn, turn
By DOUGLAS BLOOMFIELD


The past week may go down as a turning point in the search for Middle East peace - a turn in the wrong direction. Efforts to relaunch the peace process encountered serious setbacks, and while some may be gloating, the result is not likely to be a breathing spell while everyone figures out where to go next, but a dangerous period of uncertainty and instability.While US peace envoy George Mitchell was spending another frustrating week in the region in another failed effort to prod Israelis and Palestinians back to the peace table, President Barack Obama admitted his year-old effort to restart the talks has been a failure. Neither side, he concluded, is ready to make the difficult decisions necessary to move toward peace. It was a "well, duh," moment as the president acknowledged what has been obvious to everyone else for the past year."We overestimated our ability to persuade them... [to] start engaging in meaningful conversation... If we had anticipated some of these political problems on both sides earlier, we might not have raised expectations as high," Obama said.Israeli papers reported the Prime Minister's Office was "gloating" over the setback, confidently predicting the president would have no choice but to put the issue on the back burner for a while. That may please Israeli rejectionists, but it could be dangerous; there is no such thing as standing still in the Middle East.One big question is what a downgrading of the peace process will mean for already-strained relations between Washington and Jerusalem. There are many ways an administration can express displeasure: votes at the UN, denying access to the latest military technology, less intelligence sharing or high-level exchanges and limiting the extent of strategic cooperation are a few.Putting the peace process on hold until everyone is ready can be very risky. "A deadlock will lead to another round of violence that will serve Hamas," predicted Defense Minister Ehud Barak.Mitchell said the president remains "committed" to the peace process, but "engaged" may be another matter. Since the top leaders can't get together, Mitchell has proposed low-level talks; observers in Jerusalem suggest the issues will also be low-level.Obama said Israel showed some willingness to modify its policies but was not ready for the "bold gestures" he considered essential. More rigid were the Palestinians, and Mitchell warned PA President Mahmoud Abbas he must be more flexible if he wants talks to resume and expects US help in the process.

Well DUH!




At times, I have a difficult time believing these guys have any clue at all about what is happening in the Middle East.

But then I watched a good portion of the President's State of the Union speech and am now certain. THEY HAVE NO CLUE. They are so wrapped up in the progressive agenda to do away with the American Constitution that they have missed the most important elements of our place in the world. Israel is the center of the universe, not the White House.
Read what this White House advisor had to say about Iran and Israel. (Don't roll your eyes until the end.)
Iran May Lash Out at Israel
Associated Press January 30, 2010
U.S. President Barrack Obama's National Security Advisor on Friday cited a heightened risk that Iran will respond to growing pressure over its nuclear program by stoking violence against Israel.
The advisor, retired General James Jones, said history shows that when regimes are feeling pressure they can lash out by using surrogates. He said in Iran's case that would mean facilitating attacks through Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran supplies arms to both groups.
Jones also alluded to the prospect of added international sanctions being applied as one factor of added pressure. He said another factor is internal pressure--an apparent reference to street protests against the Iranian leadership over the disputed presidential election of June 12.
MY RESPONSE..... DUH! Can you feel the depth of knowledge and understanding flowing from the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR? And this guy has the President's ear!

Lebanon and Syria in the Mix



The shades of Isaiah 17, Psalm 83, Obadiah 15-18, Zephaniah 2, Exekiel 25, and Jeremiah 12 are being pulled back.......This war is coming! It is only a matter of time.


Lebanon's next war may also be Syria's

Posted by Tony Badran (Jerusalem Post)

Media reports in recent days have painted dire scenarios for what is, supposedly, the inevitable conflict between Israel and Hizbullah. Of particular note are persistent indicators that the next round, if or when it comes, will very likely involve Syria as well.For quite a while now, the official position in Israel has been that the next war in Lebanon would be waged against the Lebanese state, not just against Hizbullah. The Israelis have also been warning Damascus that they would not tolerate Syria's passing on to Hizbullah weaponry that might alter the military balance of power, namely air defense systems.On that point, two recent reports are of interest. The first, in the Qatari daily Al-Watan a couple of weeks ago, quoted Syrian sources as saying that "there is a strategic decision taken by Damascus not to allow Israel to defeat the resistance movements." One might have been tempted to dismiss this as rhetorical bluster, but another news report only a few days later called for a somewhat different assessment.Speaking to the Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai al-Aam, an unnamed American official sent a shot across Syria's bow, telling the newspaper that should Syria deliver to Hizbullah anti-aircraft missiles, "a war would doubtlessly break out, and this time Israel would strike targets in Damascus."


The official added that the Syrians, according to intelligence reports, had allowed Hizbullah fighters to train on the SA-2 anti-aircraft (AA) system on Syrian soil. Those accusations were repeated last weekend by Israel's deputy foreign minister, Daniel Ayalon, after his meeting with Michael Williams, the United Nation's special coordinator for Lebanon.The SA-2 itself may not be much of a threat to the Israel Air Force. However, another pair of Russian-made AA systems - the mobile Pantsir and the shoulder-fired Igla-S systems - would cause concern. Both Syria and Iran have been persistently trying to obtain them from Russia, with conflicting reports about whether the systems have been delivered. Nor is it clear if Hizbullah has gotten its hands on the weapons. From an Israeli standpoint, however, this would qualify as a casus belli.The result of a new war would doubtless be devastating for Lebanon - far worse than what happened in 2006 - and would likely spread to Syria. In a throwback to the policy of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, this past weekend Yossi Peled, an Israeli minister without portfolio, pointedly noted that Israel would "hold Syria and Lebanon alike responsible." There are other reasons why Syria could find itself engulfed in a future conflict. Although recent incidents, such as the explosion in a weapons depot in Khirbet Silm, indicate that Hizbullah has been reestablishing its positions in southern Lebanon since the 2006 war, the militia is said to have relocated its bunker infrastructure and dispersed its longer-range rockets throughout the Bekaa Valley and, reportedly, northern Lebanon.Notwithstanding Hizbullah's intentionally-leaked information about its intention to take the war to Israel by invading Israeli villages near Lebanese territory, this relocation of the bunker complex would mean that, aside from the expanded destruction befalling Lebanon, the war would be fought nearer the border with Syria. This border, along with Lebanon's various ports, has served as Hizbullah's weapons supply route.During the 2006 war, the Assad regime took the bold step of supplying Hizbullah directly from Syrian military stocks - particularly when it came to longer-range 220mm Katyusha rockets, such as the ones that hit a train station in Haifa, and Kornet anti-tank missiles. If this were to be repeated, not to mention the possible detection of Syrian logistical support during combat, the probability of an escalation involving Damascus would be raised. Israel's armed forces would have to consider that possibility if it were to decide in favor of a ground incursion into the Bekaa Valley.The security regime established under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 has failed to curb Hizbullah's rearmament, both by land and by sea (or, for that matter, to prevent Israeli overflights). Syria's President Bashar al-Assad has been quite explicit about his intention to continue supplying Hizbullah. Meanwhile, the sea routes to Lebanon have evidently been used to great effect. The arms-carrying ship intercepted by Israel in November of last year was reportedly bound for the port of Lattakia in Syria. That was surely the tip of the iceberg, and one must wonder how many such ships have docked in Lebanese ports as well.There have been a number of reports in recent years indicating deepening military and intelligence coordination between Iran, Syria and Hizbullah, and that includes Iranian listening posts and other technical assets present in Syria. Syria's direct arming of Hizbullah, like the numerous reports on the Russian air defense systems, speaks much to the evolution of Syria's view of the party. More than ever Hizbullah (not to mention Iran, its patron) is becoming integrated in Syrian military strategy.This would explain Damascus' "strategic decision" to extend to Hizbullah all possible support in the event of a new war with Israel. However, it could be a decision Assad, ever the gambler, might live to regret. One thing for sure is that Lebanon - all of Lebanon - will certainly regret it.Tony Badran is a research fellow with the Center for Terrorism Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

The Buck Stops...? Russia/Libya Deal Makes News

This says it all!

Libya is first Mid East recipient of Russian top-line S-300 denied Tehran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 27, 2010,

Libyan defense minister Younis Jaber arrived in Moscow Tuesday, Jan. 26 to sign a $2 billion military acquisitions deal that makes his country the first in the Middle East to obtain the top-of-the-line S-300 PMU-2 interceptors which Russia is holding back from Iran. debkafile's military sources report that Tripoli has purchased two brigades of four missile batteries each, conditional on their delivery by the end of 2010.Although a three-way deal for the supply of S-300 missile-air interceptors to Syria for transfer to Iran (which foots the bill) has been signed, Russian leaders are holding back on its implementation in response to US and Israeli pressure. Tehran hoped that Director of the National Security Council Saeed Jalili would clinch an agreed timeline for delivery during his three-day Moscow trip starting Tuesday, Jan. 26. But when Moscow said that the time was still not ripe for the missile's handover, although it is the missing key component from the defenses of Iran's nuclear facilities, Tehran cancelled Jalili's trip at the last minute.Iranian leaders were further incensed by being beaten to the post by Libya. At a recent military hardware fair in Bahrain, Iran noted that sales agents of the Russian Rosoboronexport openly touted S-300 PMU-2 systems promising would-be buyers their early supply.Regarding additional unfinished business between Moscow and Tehran, Jalili and Sergei Kiriyenko, head of the Rosatom state nuclear corporation, stressed recently that the unfinished Russian-built nuclear reactor at Bushehr would finally go on line before the end of this year after endless delays. Monday, Kiriyenko came out with the bombastic statement: "2010 would be the year of the Bushehr reactor."But after being burned many times, Tehran is shy of Russian promises and wants an exact timeline for the reactor's completion.
The Russian-Libyan military transaction also provides for 15 long-range Su-35 bombers, at least 8 Su-30MK2 fighter-bombers, as well as 50 T-90 tanks and Russian upgrades of Libya's T-72 fleet.


This gives the EZEKIEL 38 and 39 "watchers" plenty to chew on. Libya is listed as being allied with Gog and Magog in those chapters. The interesting thing is how Iran continues to be denied the S-300, especially with the probabilities of an Israeli strike on the horizon. Why would Russia deny this needed protection unless there is an extreme desire to coax Israel into unilateral action? Such action would surely be an excuse for the "Outer Ring" nations to kick into gear and come against the people of Israel. Chew away!

You Can't Fake Success When You've Failed

It isn't everyday one can watch a leopard change his spots or a tiger his stripes. Incredibly, one Barrack Hussein Obama thinks he can make the American public believe he never had any spots in the first place.


We are a day away from Obama's first State-of-the-Union speech, and it should prove to be a thriller. With gaudy rhetoric and populist phrasing, Obama will attempt to woo the public like he did during his campaign. The method will always work on dimwits. However, the American public is waking from its dull slumber. What the little tiger says on Wednesday will not be received. But here is the problem. Because just about everyone is going to want to see what new lies and hoodwinks come forth, the ratings for the program will rocket upward. Mr. Obama will take that as a sign that he is loved. He'll garnish a mandate from the ratings...and in his customary hubris, will do everything he can to push his socialist agenda through the halls (or cloak closets) of congress....people be darned! (I'm G rated:)


Conservative Americans are not the only ones who see the left-hand writing on the wall! Read this article concerning Obama's coming intervention in the Middle East and see if the leopard's spots aren't still there.


The Region: F for Failure
By BARRY RUBIN

We must now face an extremely unpleasant truth: Even giving the Obama administration every possible break regarding its Iran policy, it is now clear that the US government isn't going to take strong action on the nuclear weapons issue. Note that I didn't even say "effective" action, I'm saying that it isn't even going to make a good show of trying seriously to do anything.

Some say that the administration has secretly or implicitly accepted the idea that Iran will get nuclear weapons and is now seeking some longer-term containment policy. I doubt that has happened. It is just not even this close to reality.
From its behavior, it still seems to expect, incredibly, that some kind of deal is possible with Teheran despite everything that has happened. Then, too, it may hope that the opposition - unaided by America - will overthrow the Iranian government and thus solve the problem. And it is too fixated on short-term games about seeking consensus among other powers; two of them - China and Russia - are clearly not going to agree to anything serious. This fact was clear many months ago, but the administration still doesn't recognize it.
Not only is the Obama administration failing the test but it is doing so in a way that seems to maximize the loss of US credibility in the region and the world. A lot of this comes from the administration's philosophy of unprecedented concepts of guilt, apology, defeatism and refusal to take leadership never seen before among past liberal Democratic governments from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton.



There! I feel better!

Iran Crosses Red Line...Obama's New Opportunity




Scott Brown's stunning victory in Massachusetts spells trouble for ISRAEL!
Why? Because with a compete halt of Obama's socialistic experiment in Washington, all that is left is a concentrated return to foreign policy. Here-to-for, the Administrations attempt to bring peace to the Middle East has been an unmitigated disaster, but that is all he has left. Of course, that means further attempts to stretch out a hand to that rabid-mouth frothing-Mahdi seeking--madman named Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (pronounced: I'm a nut job). Obama has already given and extended three "DEADLINES" to the Iranians. Can't you just hear the fear in their voices as they defy the mighty Obama? har-t-har-har-har. (That was a belly laugh, not Arabic or Farsi.)
What's up next? MORE STALLING TECHNIQUES will be revealed by both Obama and Ahmadinejad. Meanwhile, the Iranians inch ever closer to nuclear capability. MERCY! Read the following from today's Debkafile.
Iran Crosses Red Line, Can Enrich Uranium up to 20pc Grade
DEBKAfile Special Report
January 25, 2010, 11:22 AM


Attaining the ability to enrich uranium up to 20 percent grade brings Iran dangerously close to "break-out" point for a nuclear weapon capability, DEBKAfile's intelligence sources report. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised the "good news" would be announced during the Feb. 1-11 celebrations of the Islamic Revolution. The "news" also prompted an urgent cabinet meeting in Jerusalem last week.
Ahmadinejad's announcement is a provocative demonstration of contempt for the six world powers and their offer to trade Iran's low-grade uranium for 20 pc enriched product overseas. By going public on the banned process and abandoning concealment, Iran's rulers are throwing down the gauntlet to them and Israel.
DEBKAfile's Iranian sources report that the hawks of the Islamic regime led by Ahmadinejad and spiritual ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have won the day for their tactics of jumping ahead of any possible US-led or Israel steps against their nuclear program with its own aggressive initiatives.
The Iranian president's enrichment announcement at a time that the Obama administration is pondering tough sanctions against the Revolutionary Guards was part of this policy; so were the Syrian and Hizballah declarations of military preparedness for a purported Israeli attack last week, taking advantage of an IDF war game to raise the alarm.
Our political sources predict that Tehran's provocative move will be met with more of the five months of foot-dragging with which Washington and Jerusalem have met Iran's contempt for one deadline after another for ending nuclear enrichment.
Both will continue to dither and pretend that stiff sanctions can scotch the Iranian nuclear threat. Tehran has meanwhile made good use of those five months to go forward and achieve a 20 pc enrichment capability.
The only straight talk from any Western leader has come from French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Saturday, Jan. 23, he told visiting Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri that France has evidence Iran is developing nuclear weapons contrary to its claims. He warned that Israel "would not stand by while Iran develops nuclear weapons."

WORLD NEWS and BIBLE PROPHECY
(Live Internet Radio)
Our theme will be the ISAIAH 17 passage
that deals with the destruction of Damascus.
You don't want to miss this discussion!

The following is a prophecy update of and event that, according to the scriptures, is the fast approaching on the prophetic horizon. Keep in mind that I fully believe in the Blessed Hope of the church, namely the Rapture (1 Thess 4:15-8, 1 Cor. 15:53-55) which is imminent. However, it is my opinion that we will witness what is contained in this thesis of Isaiah 17. We will also witness the Gog and Magog war in Ezekiel 38 and 39. World evangelism will be the result of both.

The Oracle Against Damascus Isaiah 17

The setting of the context through which the prophet will speak to Damascus begins in chapter fourteen: (My thoughts will be interspersed within the verse.)



Isaiah 14:1 - - “For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, (see Ezekiel 36:8-11, Joel 3, Jeremiah 12:14-17) and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob. (Depicts peaceful Arabs who enjoy full citizenship within Israel as a democracy.) And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, (League of Nations ratification of the Balfour Declaration 1917, UN Partition of Palestine 1941, UN recognition of Israel as a State on May 15, 1948…Oslo Accords to negotiate a Palestinian State, August 20, 1993 and subsequent peace initiatives) and the house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’S LAND (Covenant ground promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…possessed fully by Solomon) as male and female slaves. (Slavery meant to be under subjugation or iron-fisted rule. This is not an endorsement of slavery.) They will take captive those who were captors, (Edom, Moab, Syria) and rule over those who oppressed them.” (Ishmael and his offspring, which is the entire Middle East today.)



Before we get too into the passage, it is necessary to have an understanding of two principles used in interpreting these and subsequent passages.
1. God is speaking to his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but his covenant reference is to the land! He states “the Lord’s Land,” or “to the Land,” or to the “Mountains of Israel.” In so doing, the Lord is clarifying for us that all subsequent names mentioned, i.e. Edom, Moab, Aram, Assyria, Ishmael, etc. are names depicting the locations where these ancient peoples dwelt. Therefore,
2. We need to understand who, where, and what….
Moab… Son of Lot…. Occupied what is today the land known as Jordan
Edom… Son of Essau… Occupied the land of Southern Jordan and into Saudi Arabia
Aram…. From the Amonite Kingdoms, Assyria, Babylon, Syria….today…Syria and Iraac
Philistia… the ancient Philistines…. Occupied the land that is today the Gaza Strip
Tyre, Gebal, Asshur….then and now the same…. Lebanon
Ishmael…. Abraham’s first son through Hagar…. Saudi Arabia
Cush….The people inhabiting the upper Nile and Horn of Africa…..The Sudan
Egypt…..is Egypt


Back to the Context

Knowing that the prophecies contained in Isaiah 14-21 will take place after the trigger event of Israel returning to the LAND as a nation, unless the text specifically states otherwise, we now have the tools in place to interpret the time/season in which the horrible judgments are set to take place. As we move, step by step from chapter fourteen onward, we see the following.
1. Babylon, the empire typed as the epitome of evil, will eventually be cut off. In other words, God’s eye of judgment is on the people who occupy the land of Isaac, but judgment will be delayed. We know from Isaiah 21 and Revelation 18-19 when that judgment and destruction will happen.
2. Assyria (modern Syria) receives the final warning that God has set a date for destruction and no one will be able to stop it. (Isaiah 14:24-27)
3. The Lord will found ZION and Philistia will not be able to remove God’s people. (Isaiah 14:28-32.)
4. Moab is next in line. Notice that Moab (Jordan’s) destruction will take place in one, single night of attack. 15:1; “An oracle concerning Moab. Because Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone; because Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone.” The only other times we see any enemy of Israel laid waste in a night is after they have come up against Jerusalem. This passage does not indicate an attack on Israel, but that these nations will actually be destroyed in one night.
5. We know who the attacker is in this sequence of judgments…. Isa. 17:9, “which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.” BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.


The Significance of Damascus, chapter 17, is the next to occupy our digging. According to Ezekiel 47:16 and Zechariah 9, Damascus was the major city situated on the northeast boundary of greater Israel. The land of Aram stretched further north of the actual city of Damascus and all the way to the Euphrates River. But as in the Biblical description typifying the land of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, the actual boundaries extended further out than the cities named. However, the chapter is not just about Syria. Verse two specifically states; “the cities of Aroer.” These cities were part of the southern portion of the kingdom of Syria approximately 14 miles east of the Dead Sea. Today, Jordan (Moab) occupies that land, but it is actually part of the inheritance given to Rueben when the land was parceled after Israel’s return to the Promised Land.
Ephraim (the land inherited by Ephraim) comes into play as well. Ephraim stretched from the Jordan river near Jericho, all the way to Bethel in the Mountains of Israel. That land today forms the greater portion of the West Bank and is in the hands of the Palestinians.

Now, listen to the text of Isaiah 17 with all this information crammed in your head. Again, my thoughts will be in parenthesis with each verse or phrase.

17:1 - An oracle concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins. (As of today, Damascus has never been destroyed…that means it is still in the future. Damascus is the capitol of Syria, meaning Syria will be taken down as a nation that persecutes Israel.)

17:2 - “The cities of Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.” (The destruction will be from Damascus all the way to southern Jordan. Flocks will lie down with none to bother them because the people will be gone. It is a picture of a land suddenly uninhabited.)

17:3 - The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts.” (The West Bank will be subdued, Syria will be erased, and their glory will fade. It is a direct reference to the removal of Israel’s place at the hands of the Assyrian empire in 722 B.C. Idol worship had so smothered the glory of Israel that no one missed it when it was gone. In other words, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank will be gone!)

17:7 – “In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.” (The instantaneous, horrific destruction of Damascus, Jordan will be so powerful that all mankind will look to Jehovah. This does not mean for salvation, but out of fear. From Psalm 83…Ezekiel 25…and Obadiah we know this destruction includes Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, and Gaza.)

17:9 – “In that day, their strong cities will be like deserted places of the wooded heights and hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.” (The desolation will come at the hands of the children of Israel, also stated clearly in Ezekiel 25:13-14; “I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword. And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom BY THE HAND OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL…”) It will be Israel that administers God’s vengeance in this short war, as opposed to God taking vengeance on Gog and Magog…Ezekiel 38 and 39.

17:12 - “Ah, the thunder of many peoples…ah the roar of nations;” (Indicating that Syria and Jordan are only part of a host of nations that are stirred up. See Psalm 83 for the complete listing.)

17:13 - “The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.” (Not to sound too dramatic, but these descriptions appear to be the effects of shock waves and multi mushroom clouds created by numerous low-yield tactical nuclear explosions.)

17:14 - And now the CLINCHER that this event could not happen before our times. “At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more!” This destruction will be an overnight occurrence and will be administered by Israel. This could not happen until Israel became a nation (chp. 14) nor could it happen overnight until the age of jet attack aircraft and tactical nuclear weapons. Again, Damascus is the oldest city in the world that has yet to have been destroyed and left in ruin. It is about to happen. Israel will do it. We will hear the news that “something is happening” in the Middle East late one evening. By the time the day breaks the following morning, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, Saudi Arabia, and parts of Egypt will have been destroyed.


The result: Israel will occupy the land depicted in Ezekiel 47 and Zechariah 9. They will be living without fear of their neighbors for the first time since Solomon. They will then be the target of a coalition of nations including Russian, Iran, Libya, Turkey, and the Sudan, as found in Ezekiel 38 and 39. God will be the one that takes care of that little problem. Then, the whole earth will begin to clamor after God out of fear. But those who are now seeking Him will receive a “latter rain” outpouring of the Spirit (Joel 2) to share the gospel….to all nations….as a witness to all people (Matthew 24:14), and then the end will come!”

An Israeli Intelligence Briefing on Turkey, Iran, and Syria


Micah Halpern
Posted by Israel Insider on January 20, 2010


When the chief of Israel's military intelligence agency speaks, we should pay careful attention.
Amos Yadlin briefed the Knesset's Committee on Defense. The general chose to brief his select audience on three areas - Turkey, Iran and the Palestinians.According to Yadlin, the breakdown of the strategic relationship that Israel and Turkey had tried so hard to forge had nothing to do with Israel or even with anti-Israel sentiment - and a whole lot to do with Syria. Turkey established a relationship with Israel because they had strategic interests. What the Turks really wanted was a closer trade relationship with Western European nations and with the United States. Israel was their way in. Israel was always Turkey's way to agitate and aggravate Syria for being such a bad neighbor.
The attempt to make inroads into Western business communities was a colossal failure. But Syria did come around and now Turkey no longer needs Israel. As a matter of fact, Israel is now a liability in Turkey's relationship with Syria. What's left for Turkey now is to find a way in to Iran and for that, Turkey certainly does not either need, or want, Israel hanging around.
Flip-flopping comes naturally to the Turks who live lives somewhere in between East and West. They geographically live on the border, part in Asia and part in Europe. For Turkey, it is all about expediency and strategic goals. They are easily swayed from one side to the other and right now Iran is the country offering Turkey the best incentives to deal.On the subject of Iran, Yadlin recalled his earlier analysis. The head of Israel's intelligence community repeated that he does not see Iran either slowing down its pace or modifying its goal. Iran wants to become nuclear, wants to nuclear technology and Iran wants the bomb. And Iran is showing no signs of caving under pressure from the international community.Perhaps more importantly, Yadlin does not believe that the international community nor pressure from more serious sanctions will change Iran.
As for the Palestinians, the head of Israeli intel had some encouraging news. According to Yadlin, Abbas and his Fatah party are beginning to crack down on Hamas in the West Bank - and not as a favor to Israel. Fatah is cracking down on Hamas for their own benefit. They do not want the West Bank to go the way of Gaza and to that end they are willing to go to great lengths.Yadlin explained that the current stalemate between Israel and the Palestinians is crucial for Abbas. The Palestinian leader is intent on convincing the international community to pressure Israel to stop all building in Jerusalem and to ease restrictions throughout the West bank.On this issue in particular I could not agree with Yadlin more. The Irony of it all is that the Western world will side with Abbas and will, economically and diplomatically, attack Israel. And the reason the West will feel comfortable attacking their long-standing friend is because Israel has been so successful in their own war against terror. For an entire year there has not been one successful suicide attack. Had Israel been less successful in their pre-attack capture of terrorists, the world would be less likely to swallow the lies that Abbas is circulating.Would Israel prefer to be victim to terrorist attacks in order to gain short term international political benefits? Answering that doesn't take much intel.

Syria Mobilizes near the Golan Heights




Just as nail appears to be driven into the coffin on Barack Obama's domestic agenda, his Middle East envoy, George Mitchell is flitting around the region stirring up all kinds of new trouble for Israel. Just when one would think the President would pull back and concentrate on saving his bacon he steps up his efforts to pull the rug out from under Israel.....more concessions.....more pressure.....more inciting of trouble for Israel. Everywhere Mitchell has gone has led to some sort of action. ... He went to Egypt...Egypt renewed relations with the Saudis. He went to Syria...Syria got closer to Iran. He went to Turkey....Turkey turned on Israel. Now, back to Syria.... what does Syria do? Read the article below and you get a real feel for the direction this is all headed.

Syria partially Mobilizes Reserves as Tensions Rise on Israel's Northern Border
DEBKAfile Special Report
January 22, 2010


Friday, Jan. 22, Damascus ordered a Level 4 mobilization of Syria's army reserves for deployment to the Golan Heights on the Israeli border, to meet what it calls "IDF plans of attack." DEBKAfile's military sources interpret Level 4 as referring to Syrian armored and commando brigades.
In Lebanon, too, Hizballah has placed "all its forces" on a state of military preparedness. Our intelligence sources report that this order applies to the Iranian proxy's strongholds across southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, but not to its command posts in Beirut and other Lebanese cities.
Damascus and Hizballah both claim that Israel has embarked on a large-scale military exercise along its northern borders to create a jumping-off point for striking Hizballah followed by raids into Syria.
However, Western and Arab sources confirm that Israel made a point of reassuring Damascus and Beirut via American and UN intermediaries at the beginning of this week that the military units massed in the north were engaged solely in maneuvers with no aggressive intent.
Far from being prompted by IDF war games, Syria and Hizballah are reported by our Iranian and military sources as acting out the secret military cooperation pacts they have just concluded with Tehran. The pacts were negotiated and signed during visits to Damascus by Iran's National Security Adviser Saeed Jalili on Nov. 3 and its defense minister Ahmed Vahidi on Dec. 17.
These treaties commit Syria to come to Hizballah's aid if it comes under Israeli attack, and all three signatories to respond to any Israeli military movement. Our military sources believe Hizballah and Syria are taking advantage of the Israeli war game to test their own preparedness for attack on orders from Tehran.

Did Hamas Have a "Born Again" Experience?











Hamas' Leader Azia Dwaik with British Millionaire David Martin Abrams in Hebron
In an sudden about face, Hamas leadership, the organization that controls the Gaza Strip and gaining ground in the West Bank, now says it is ready to accept "Israel's Right to Exist." In conversations with British millionaire, David Martin Abrams in Hebron yesterday, Dwaik said "No one wants to throw anyone into the sea." He went on to express that Hamas is ready to 'nullify' the original twenty-year old Palestinian Charter and push forward to forge a peace between the Palestinians and the Jews. Abrams promised to meet as soon as possible with the British Foreign Secretary to convey the exact sentiment of the meeting.
Can it really be true that Hamas, a noted terrorist organization that has lived to destroy Israel, could have actually had a change of heart? Do they really want to start playing nice with the other child in the sand box? Are we looking at the Biblical cry of "Peace and Safety" Jesus' declared would exist at the time of his coming?
Next question please....Do I believe it? Absolutely NOT! Better question: Will Big-Daddy Barack Obama believe it and use it as a way to overt the eyes of America off of his impending political demise....ABSOLUTELY YES, YOU BET, FOR CERTAIN! Obama is only too ready to prove his Middle East policies aren't the failure everyone knows they are. We already know he has thrown Israel under the bus on multiple occasions. With the push for a recognized, independent Palestinian State picking up steam in the EU and the UN, Obama will smile that winning grin and jump on board the slow train to folly. Count on it!
Hamas is just another in a growing line of Israeli/American enemies that have figured out how to manipulate the President of the United States.

Earthquake Headed for Israel?


Ezekiel prophesied it:
"For in my jealousy and in blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel." Ez. 38:19
Of course, the context is the Gog and Magog War of Ezekiel 38 and 39, the time when a Russian coalition including Turkey, Iran, Libya, and the Sudan, descend to destroy Israel. The earthquake in Haiti has brought Israel's expectation of an earthquake to light. They believe it is overdue. They believe it could be catastrophic if they are not prepared. They are preparing...! Could that mean they are preparing for a Gog-Magog visit? Every indication says they are preparing for both. Oh the times in which we live.
Read from today's Jerusalem Post
ISRAEL Thinking EARTHQUAKE is DUE
The government is aware of the danger that an earthquake of large magnitude poses to the population. Based on information gathered by the Israel Geophysical Institute and a special task group of engineers, a scenario projecting a 7.5 magnitude earthquake was presented to lawmakers. According to the estimate, an earthquake of this magnitude in Israel would cause approximately 16,000 fatalities and 90,000 injuries, and 377,000 people would be evacuated from their homes. In addition, the estimate foresees 10,000 fully collapsed buildings, 20,000 with heavy structural damage and more than 100,000 with minor to medium damage.
This of course is not considering the expected damage to the economy resulting from the destruction of infrastructure, public facilities, factories and commercial centers.
AS A response, the government initiated a nationwide program in 2005 called Tama 38 that offers tax and planning incentives to the private sector to reinforce buildings. But today, five years later, the program has proven highly ineffective. A bureaucratic labyrinth of red tape and an insufficient incentives package have jammed the cogs of the program, leaving less than 15 buildings reinforced in the entire country.
The last serious earthquake to hit Israel was in 1927 and measured 6.2 on the Richter scale. Five hundred people were killed, a small number compared to the devastation that will occur as a result of modern Israel's high population density. Moreover, the natural geophysical cycle produces a high-magnitude earthquake every 80 years on average, meaning that we are already overdue.
I hope that the government will learn from the terrible tragedy in Haiti and take more meaningful action to safeguard the citizens of Israel. It must, or the next search and rescue mission might be closer to home.
With all that is happening....It would be well for each of us to make sure we are prepared for the Day that is coming. Jesus encouraged that we stay alert lest that day catch us unaware. But more than being prepared...we should be filled with joy that we actually get to serve the King of Kings!

Syria Could Easily Spark a War by Arming Hezbollah



Get this, in an interview with Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai published on Sunday, a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that “if Syria supplies Hezbollah with surface-to-air missiles (SA-2), war will break out and Tel Aviv will directly strike Damascus.” In addition, the official said Syria trained Hezbollah members in Damascus on how to use the SA-2 missiles. Israel has previously warned the country not to supply Hezbollah with the missiles, according to the US source. “Any possible military attack by Hezbollah against Israel will be met by a ‘harmful war’ on Lebanon. Israel made a mistake in 2006 by not striking Syria during the war with Lebanon, and any new attack from Hezbollah against it will not spare Damascus from a strike,” he added. Israel’s top priority, the official said, is preventing Syria from supplying Hezbollah with the SA-2 missiles.
“During the 2006 war in Lebanon, Damascus told Tel Aviv it wanted peace and was not going to side with Hezbollah,” the official alleged. Following the war, however, the United Nations and international intelligence community have been monitoring attempts to smuggle weapons from Syria to Hezbollah, he added. The official also compared South Lebanon after the 2006 war to the situation in the Golan Heights in Syria, which he said has enjoyed a calm climate after a cease-fire agreement was signed between Israel and late Syrian President Hafez al-Assad in 1974. He said Hezbollah’s desire to liberate the Shebaa farms, which is occupied by Israel, does not justify military attacks against the entity. “Launching war with Tel Aviv is not an excuse for Hezbollah.” The official said he does not think a war will break out anytime soon, “unless Syria crosses the line.”
Compounding the problem is the recent re-supply of the Lebanese army by the Obama Administration. As pointed out in an earlier blog, the government of Lebanon has changed his stance toward Hezbollah and now considers the terrorist organization an arm of the official military. In other words, the US has added to the problem by arming the enemies of Israel. If Damascus steps in with the SA-2, Israel will have no choice but to launch a war, as stated above.
For further Biblical reading, see Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Obadiah 15-18, and Zephaniah 2. (The nations that are named correspond to the nations surrounding Israel today. Scroll through earlier blogs to get a full picture.)

Obama's Growing Irrelevance in the ME




Syndicated columnist, Barry Ruben, offers a wonderfully clear assessment of the progress, or lack thereof, being made by the Obama administration in regards to Middle East peace. Read it to its conclusion and you will easily see the irrelevance of the current occupant of the White House, other than the fact that he is making things worse.
The Region: Yes, no, maybe
By BARRY RUBIN

In the United States, about half the population and most of the policy elite think that President Barack Obama's administration is a great success internationally. The other half doesn't. A key reason for the first group's attitude is its obsession with the highly visible popularity issue, the idea that America is more liked in the world. The problem is that, at the same time, it is less respected and that is the factor that counts.
As we move into 2010, with the administration's first "learning" year behind it, a turn toward learning the lessons of that experience is not yet visible. This is especially so on the two most high-profile Middle East issue.
Originally, the administration suggested that it would raise sanctions against Iran in September 2009 if engagement yielded no fruit. That was then pushed back to the end of that year. Now, we have a new estimate: July 2010. Maybe. And we also have the defining of those sanctions long in advance as ineffective, narrowly - and symbolically - focused on a ruling elite which will never feel any pain as a result.
This, then, is the way the Obama administration views threats, which will make its adversaries see them as hollow. In a Brussels speech, US Ambassador to the European Union William Kennard explained: "You'll hear over the next six months a lot more about our efforts on sanctions." Hear about them? Haven't we been hearing about them for a year? And at the end of six months will we actually see them?
This all makes the following scenario quite imaginable: Fill in the month; fill in the day; fill in the year: Iran has nuclear weapons. Same month; same day plus one; same year: US announces low-level, ineffective sanctions to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
MEANWHILE, a parallel scenario is affecting the administration's "peace process" policy. There are lots of stories in the media. Envoys zig and zag over the map. Meetings are held; plans are hinted at. But none of this matters. None of it.


Here's the only thing that matters: Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas says he won't even go to talks unless Israel stops all construction tout de suite, including the apartments being completed and the ones being built in Jerusalem. The media likes to say that both sides are "defying" the US. But in fact what Israel is doing was approved by the US, and even highly praised by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Obama's administration is urging that negotiations restart based on the fantasy that all the tough issues would quickly be resolved. Resolve borders, security guarantees, recognition of a Jewish state of Israel, end of conflict, settlement of refugees in Palestine, status of Jerusalem and lots of other incredibly difficult issues? The administration can't even get the two sides to the table!
Here's a basic aspect of the problem. While Israel won't give up everything Abbas demands in negotiations, Abbas is unprepared to make the slightest concession on anything. First, because he doesn't want to do so; second, because he is unable to do so, since he lacks a strong base of support; third, because he is afraid to do so because he would lose power, his Fatah movement would splinter and he might even be overthrown by Hamas.
Therefore, in July 2010, and by January 2011 for that matter, the administration is unlikely to make any progress.
While current policies are disturbing, the alternatives being pushed within the policy establishment and promoted so often in the mass media are generally worse. Starting from the perspective that US strategies have failed, it is argued that this is because they haven't gone far enough in the wrong direction. Rather than proposing a much tougher policy toward Iran - with real sanctions at least - the proposals are for even more engagement and concessions.
Noting that Hamas is still in power, what we hear are not calls to subvert it further and bring it down but rather to give up and start negotiating with that group.
The same position is being put forward about Hizbullah and Syria: to claim falsely that they are moderating and urge Western concessions. As for the "peace process," since the US cannot even get talks going, it is asserted that it should leap to the end of negotiations and try to impose a final, comprehensive solution right now.
Most of these bad ideas are not going to be implemented, by the US at least though they have more appeal in Europe. Yet this orientation nevertheless makes it impossible for any sensible alternatives to be presented and seriously debated. Apparently the dominant school of thought at present thinks that other than al-Qaida, there is no revolutionary movement in the world that doesn't really prefer to be moderate, no enemy that cannot be won over through dialogue.
But why should Damascus and Teheran or Hamas and Hizbullah or the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian Authority abandon what they deem to be a successful strategy of militancy and intransigence, especially if the West keeps telling them they can get concessions without making any themselves? How can so many Western analysts and journalists simply put aside virtually everything such organizations say and do to focus on their own personal interpretations of what these forces "really" want?
Very possibly the administration will fool the American media by constant activity and claims that it is getting somewhere; somewhat possibly this will work on a large proportion of the American population. But people in the Middle East aren't fooled at all.

A Whole Lot a Shakin Goin On

The eyes of the world have been locked on Haiti and the devastation caused by the earthquake center five miles beneath Port U Prince. Some many of the images are heart wrenching.
Many naturally ask the question WHY DO SUCH THINGS HAPPEN? A few have stepped forward to give an answer. I wish they hadn't.

One of these is Pat Robertson who blamed the earthquake and its aftermath on Haitians themselves saying "it's because half their population made a pact with the devil instead of converting to Christianity." While his statement has an element of truth to it....Pat missed something important. Jesus called us to be WISE as Serpents and HARMLESS of Doves. Pat missed it on both counts and has needlessly opened the door to ridicule. Thankfully, Christian organizations have been the bulk of the "First Responders" to Haiti, removing most of the credibility of his statement. If this act was a strict judgment against Haiti for half it's citizens making a pact with the devil, why has God punished the half that turned to Christianity? Has Mr. Robertson missed the fact that thousands of believers in Christ perished, or were maimed?


Another blowhole spouted off. Danny Glover proved the idiotic nature of the Global Warming crowd when he blamed the earthquake on the fact that we (the USA) walked out on the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and others like it. In other words, because man has not done something about climate change, and earthquake smashed Haiti. The stupidity of the statement is only eclipsed by arrogance....arrogance that believes man is in control of his own destiny and can somehow rule the weather.
The Bible tells us the truth of the matter. Every earthquake, every tsunami, every tornado and hurricane, every calamitous event....can be traced back to the action of a man. His name was Adam. He was created to have dominion over the earth as he walked with God. He was told that death would be the result of disobedience. He disobeyed. Death began, not only for man, but for the object of his dominion. Since that day, "the earth has groaned, awaiting the revelation of the heirs of salvation." In fact, the Letter to the Hebrews spells it out rather clearly.
"See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on the earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time, his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, 'YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVENS.' This phrase, indicates the removal of things that are shaken,--that is, things that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken..." 12:25-28


We are in the period of Matthew 24 that speaks of an intensifying of natural disasters as the Kingdom of God is about to be birthed. The earth is reeling, not from Global Warming or Climate Change.....and not because of an arbitrary judgment of God. It is reeling because God said it would, and it is only going to continue until Redemption is Complete! So, instead of throwing rocks on the rubble, it might be better to jump in and rescue some people while there is still time.
Them's me thoughts and I's sticken to 'em!
