Finally, an Israeli intelligence chief has echoed the words of prophetic scripture, though he probably has no clue that he has done so.
TWO SPECIFIC WARS are prophesied.
I call them the Inner Ring War, and the Outer Ring War. They are just as they sound. Prophetic war #1 will involve those nations immediately surrounding Israel. The second will involve nations that are further out, not actually bordering Israel, but surrounding her nonetheless.
The Inner Ring War is prophesied in Psalm 83, Isaiah 17 (Damascus), Ezekiel 25, Zephaniah 2, and Zechariah 9. In these passages the ancient names of Lebanon, Syria, Jordon, Saudi Arabia, the Gaza Strip, and Egypt are listed. This coalition will force Israel to react, and in Ezekiel 25, the Lord says he will destroy these enemies "by the hand of my people Israel."
The Outer Ring War is described in detail in Ezekiel 38 & 39. The ancient names of a current and defining consortium of nations are listed. Gog/Magog/Meshech/Tubal = Russia. Gomer/Togarmah = Turkey and nations bordering the Caspian Sea. Put = Libya. Cursh = nations of the Horn of Africa i.e. Sudan, Samalia, Ethiopia. PERSIA = IRAN.
This coalition will witness the destruction of Israel's Inner Ring Enemies, along with the expansion of Jewish territory to the defined borders of Solomon's reign. They will see that Israel has suddenly grown rich in oil and natural gas. They will see that Israel has used nuclear weapons to defend herself. Plus, God will put a hook in their mouth to draw them down to judgment. In the end, God will be the destroyer of this Magog-led Army.
SOUND FAR FETCHED?
Read this warning by Israel's outgoing intelligence chief. (This on the heels of an article in the Jerusalem Post by the new leader of Israel's spy organization, the Mossad, that stated that Iran already has constructed at least one nuclear bomb.)
Intelligence Chief’s Warnings of War Taken Seriously
by Hillel Fendel
Outgoing Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin says Israel's next military conflict will cost more casualties than previous battles; NSC chief Uzi Dayan says Iran, Turkey, and terrorists are increasing dangers to Israel.
Yadlin, head of IDF Military Intelligence, gave a stark report on Tuesday in his briefing to the Knesset - the last one before leaving his post in the coming days. He warned of new, state-of-the-art Russian-made Syrian weaponry and two new Iranian nuclear sites.
National Security Council chief Uzi Dayan filled out the picture by warning that missiles from Gaza could hit Tel Aviv and that terrorists in Lebanon are digging further into and behind civilian populations.
“In the next war,” Dayan told Arutz-7’s Benny Tucker, “we have to be more concerned with our potential civilian casualties than military casualties.”
“Yadlin’s assessment means that uncertainty has returned to our region,” Dayan said. “Iran continues to build nuclear weapons [though at a slower pace than it had hoped, Yadlin said – ed.], Turkey has returned to the axis of evil, and the terrorist organizations continue to dig in.”
Only 40 Miles Wide
“The incoming IDF Chief of Staff, Gen. Yoav Galant, will have to deal with many challenges, beyond the issue of terrorism and Iran,” Dayan said.
“We will have to prepare for an eastern front against us… .The Jordan Valley is one of our most critical areas. Between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean there are only 64 kilometers (40 miles); this is our entire strategic depth, and we must not give it up. We must have defensible borders. This position must be presented in the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.”The dangers in Gaza and southern Lebanon must be neutralized, Dayan said, and this is done by capturing territory. “Gaza is in danger of becoming an Iranian stronghold, in terms of missiles directed at Tel Aviv. We must conquer enemy territory [in Gaza] and demilitarize it; the same in southern Lebanon. The terrorists today take cover amidst civilian populaces, assuming that we will not capture that territory. We must uproot that type of thinking.”
