The weaponry is then smuggled into Gaza via one of the hundreds of tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor.<br /><br />In addition the concern about an increase in smuggling, Israel also fears that the Sinai will turn into a launch pad for attacks into Israel. </em></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Biblically, these fears expressed by Israel fall right into line with prophecy.</div><div align="justify">The Egyptian Sinai (part of Solomon's Kingdom) is listed with Gaza and the other countries bordering Israel as being the launch pad for an attempt to annihilate the Jews and retake the land.

In Syria, officials at the Iranian embassy said it would mark the first time in years that Iranian warships dock in a Syrian port.<br /><br />The ships paid about $300,000 in fees for the passage, according to a Maritime agent. The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter.<br /><br />Iran's request to send the warships through the Suez Canal came at a particularly difficult time for Egypt as the nation's new military rulers try to focus on pressing domestic issues, including restoring security after the uprising that ousted longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.<br /><br />The military rulers apparently had no choice but to grant the ships passage because an international convention regulating shipping says the canal must be open "to every vessel of commerce or of war." Egypt also cannot search naval ships passing through the waterway.<br /><br />Iranian warships have not passed through the Suez Canal since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><em>Is a confrontation at sea about to happen between Isreal and Iran?

Nor must I go step by step through the scriptures pointing out David's initial conquest of the city and God's proclamations as Jerusalem being the apple of his eye. WE ALL KNOW IT!</div><div align="justify">Apparently the Obama regime has chosen to ignore what we all know. Behind UN Ambassador Susan Rice's veto of the resolution came some stunning words that show the exact course Obama is on..... to draw Israel into a war so that it will be subdued. Read Rice's own words in exercising the US veto.</div><div align="justify"><em>"Our opposition to the resolution before this Council today should therefore not be misunderstood to mean we support settlement activity. On the contrary, we reject in the strongest terms the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity. For more than four decades, Israeli settlement activity in territories occupied in 1967 has undermined Israel's security and corroded hopes for peace and stability in the region. Continued settlement activity violates Israel's international commitments, devastates trust between the parties, and threatens the prospects for peace."</em><br /></div><div align="justify">Remember, she is talking about Jerusalem. In 1967, when the Arab nations attempted to wipe Israel off the map, the IDF achieved a miraculous victory which included the retaking of Jerusalem. Obama will soon demand that Israel return to the pre 1967 borders and give up Jerusalem to the peace-loving, gentle Arabs so they can worship freely on their holy sites, which of course, they now control completely.</div><div align="justify">No more Bill O'Reilly styled excuses for what Barack Obama is doing! NO, he doesn't mean well. But lest I become to frustrated with this leadership and slip into the political slime, it is God who raises up rulers for his own times and purposes. As much as it grates me to see what is spewing from Washington, I believe God's final purposes are being engineered by the Almighty.</div><div align="justify">Fasten your seat belt and hang on tight.

"If the ships move through the canal, we will evaluate what they actually do. It's not really about the ships. It's about what the ships are carrying, what's their destination, what's the cargo on board, where's it going, to whom and for what benefit," Crowley told a news conference.<br />The war ships' passage through Suez has been delayed as Cairo and Tehran spar over an Egyptian navy inspection of the vessels' cargoes.<br /><br />This revelation has left Israel urgently seeking a way to prevent those missiles from reaching Lebanese territory, and outside of a naval confrontation at sea, the task seems all but impossible.</div><div align="justify"><br />Up until now, Saudi Arabia, in close conjunction with Egypt and its President Hosni Mubarak, led a Sunni Arab partnership built to contain Iranian expansion – especially in the Persian Gulf. However, the opening of a Saudi port to war ships of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a direct result of the fall-out between King Abdullah and President Obama over his mishandling of Egypt, points to a fundamental shift in Middle East trends in consequence of the Egyptian uprising. It was also the first time Cairo has permitted Iranian warships to transit Suez from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, although Israeli traffic in the opposite direction had been allowed. </div><div align="justify">As reported by Debkafile on Saturday, Feb. 19,<br /><em>Iran made no secret of its plants to expand its naval and military presence beyond the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to the Mediterranean via Suez: On February 2, Iran's Deputy Navy Commander Rear Admiral Gholam-Reza Khadem Biqam announced the flotilla's mission was to "enter the waters of the Red Sea and then be dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea."<br /><br /></em>Iran is rapidly seizing the fall of the Mubarak regime in Cairo and the Saudi King Abdullah's falling-out with President Barack Obama (see debkafile of Feb. 10, 2011) as an opportunity not to be missed for establishing a foothold along the Suez Canal and access to the Mediterranean for six gains:<br /><br />1. To cut off, even partially, the US military and naval Persian Gulf forces from their main route for supplies and reinforcements;<br />2. To establish an Iranian military-naval grip on the Suez Canal, through which 40 percent of the world's maritime freights pass every day:<br />3. To bring an Iranian military presence close enough to menace the Egyptian heartland of Cairo and the Nile Delta and squeeze it into joining the radical Iranian-Syrian-Iraqi-Turkish alliance;<br />4. To thread a contiguous Iranian military-naval line from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and the Gaza Strip and up to the ports of Lebanon, where Hizballah has already seized power and toppled the pro-West government.<br />5. To eventually sever the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, annex it to the Gaza Strip and establish a large Hamas-ruled Palestinian state athwart the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea.<br />By comparison, a Fatah-led Palestinian state on the West Bank within the American orbit be politically and strategically inferior.<br />6. To tighten the naval and military siege on Israel. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I am more convinced that ever that we are witnessing the approach of Psalm 83, what I believe to be the trigger event for Ezekiel 38 and 39. How quickly it plays out is in God's hands. For certain, there are a few things we can do in the face of events with Biblical proportions.</div><div align="justify">1. Pray for an increase in the spiritual awakening toward Jesus that is taking place in the Muslim world. God loves the entire world and died for every lost person.</div><div align="justify">2. Stay strong in your faith in Christ, the Word, and your witness for Him to everyone. Now is the time to broadcast the good news.</div><div align="justify">3. Pray for Israel, God's covenant people.

They represent the rise of Shi'ite Muslims against the ruling Sunni parties in each of those countries. Shi'a Islam is gaining ground rapidly, and the culprit behind the chaos is none other than Shi'a dominated IRAN. If this wave continues, and the Sunni-led governments of the above mentioned nations fall, America will effectively be jetisoned from the Middle East. Iran will have won the war without even fighting. In fact, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad has hailed the current revolutions as an outbreak of the Mahdi, Islams 12th Imam....or Messiah. According to Ahmadenijad, the Mahdi is soon to arrive to judge the infidel and turn the entire world into his personal caliphate. This is what we are facing.<br />Take Bahrain for instance. This island nation serves as the base for the U.S. Fifth Fleet, which oversees more than 30,000 U.S. personnel across the region. The Fifth Fleet is responsible for operations in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, Yemen, Somalia, and East Africa--a crucial and unstable region. Bahrain also hosts land-based U.S. Patriot missile installations. What's more, Bahrain is located directly across the Gulf from Iran. Should the US be ejected from Bahrain, Iranian missiles will have a much easier time reaching their target without Patriot intercepts.<br />It is certain the unrest in Bahrain could have a destabilizing effect on the wider region. Israel will be completely isolated. Remember, Barack Obama is doing his best to marginalize the Jewish state. His reasons are known only to him, but his policies are soon to bring forth a curse upon his own country.<br /></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING<br /></span><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

That call has gone ignored.</div><div align="justify">The Jerusalem Post is reporting today that other ominous elements are involved in this sudden build up of Egyptians on Israel's southern border.<br /><br /><em>"Israel's easy and unconditional consent to an Egyptian military presence in Sinai paved the way for Cairo to ignore Israel's concerns about permitting an Iranian war flotilla pass through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean and up to Syrian military ports, even when an Israeli request to deny Tehran permission was routed through and supported by Washington. The military rulers brushed Israel's request aside and did not bother to reply.<br />By Friday, Feb. 18, Jerusalem had discovered that Cairo's explanation for its North Sinai deployment was the need to guard from further attacks the pipeline supplying Israel and Jordan with gas, which was blown up by Hamas on Feb. 5, was nothing but a pretext. For now, Egypt is not repairing the damage or offering to resume supplies. The Netanyahu government missed its chance to make consent for the troop deployment contingent on the resupply of gas."</em></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Seemingly, in just a three to four week period of time, the status quo in the Middle East has gone out the window.

I'm referring to Obama's introduction of Jewish settlements in their capital of Jerusalem as a primary blocking point in negotiations with the Palestinians. With growing evidence that Iran is behind the clashes in Bahrain, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia the president has narrowed his focus on finding another way to chastise Israel and appease Islam. The words of Charlie Brown are appropriate here. "Good Grief!"</div><div align="justify">This man has an uncanny ability to major on either the minors and to the exact opposite of what he should be doing. America's last friend in the Middle East is Israel, but the president seems to go the extra mile in pushing them away. He has no understanding of loyalty, let alone any inckling at all that to abandon Israel removes any hope of Biblical blessing. Rather, Obama seems to be seeking a full-blown curse. (Read Genesis 12 if you want to understand how God feels about those who stand against his covenant people, Israel)</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Now, Obama has gone to the mat for the Arab world, and Israel is suddenly the criminal. Read on.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel in Security Council<br /></span></strong>Posted By Colum Lynch Wednesday, February 16, 2011<br />The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body <em><span style="font-size:130%;">"does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,"</span></em> a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.<br />But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familiar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama administration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.<br /><br />Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. U.S. officials were not available for comment, but two Security Council diplomats confirmed the proposal.<br /><br />The Palestinian delegation, along with Lebanon, the Security Council's only Arab member state, asked the council's president late Wednesday to schedule a meeting for Friday. But it remained unclear whether the Palestinian move today to reject the U.S. offer is simply a negotiating tactic aimed at extracting a better deal from Washington.<br /><br />Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, outlined the new U.S. offer in a closed door meeting on Tuesday with the Arab Group, a bloc of Arab countries from North Africa and the Middle East. In exchange for scuttling the Palestinian resolution, the United States would support the council statement, consider supporting a U.N. Security Council visit to the Middle East, the first since 1979, and commit to supporting strong language criticizing Israel's settlement policies in a future statement by the Middle East Quartet.<br /><br />The U.S.-backed draft statement -- which was first reported by Al Hurra -- was obtained by Turtle Bay. In it, the Security Council "expresses its strong opposition to any unilateral actions by any party, which cannot prejudge the outcome of negotiations and will not be recognized by the international community, and reaffirms, that it does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity, which is a serious obstacle to the peace process." The statement also condemns "all forms of violence, including rocket fire from Gaza, and stresses the need for calm and security for both peoples."<br /><br />U.S. officials argue that the only way to resolve the Middle East conflict is through direct negotiations involving Israel and the Palestinians. For weeks, the Obama administration has refused to negotiate with the Palestinians on a resolution condemning the settlements as illegal, signaling that they would likely veto it if it were put to a vote. The Palestinians were planning to put the resolution to a vote later this week. But Security Council statements of the sort currently under consideration are voted on the bases of consensus in the 15-nation council.<br /><br />The United States has, however, been isolated in the 15-nation council. Virtually all 14 other member states are prepared to support the Palestinian resolution, according to council diplomats. A U.N. Security Council resolution generally carries greater political and legal force than a statement from the council's president.<br /><br />The U.S. concession comes as the Middle East is facing a massive wave of popular demonstrations that have brought down the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt and are posing a challenge to governments in Algeria, Bahrain, and Iran. </div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING<br /></span><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

Facebook induced revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt that toppled dictators. Government-shaking protests are spreading.... Bahrain, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia. Monarchs and dictators are quaking! </div><div align="justify">The Iranian regime is responding with violence. Bahrain is seeking help from Saudi Arabia as multitudes of Sunni Muslims join the Shia-led rebellions. Bedouins across the region are in a major uprising...and they are violent.</div><div align="justify">Meanwhile, the West joyfully watches believing these protests are the prelude to the spreading of democracy in the Arab world. Obama is taking credit. Bush lovers tout the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as the precursors of democracy in the Middle East. It all looks so good.</div><div align="justify">Jordan too was rocked by serious street protests, a serious menace to the throne because they are staged with increasing intensity by indigenous Bedouin tribes, the traditional backbone of the Hashemite royal house. Overnight, armed tribesmen blocked Highway No. 1, the main road into the capital Amman, demanding the restoration of lands, which they claim were stolen from them over the years by the royal family and the Jordanian government.<br />Last week, 36 Bedouin tribal chieftains sent a letter to King Abdullah II with demands that he cede some of his ruling power including the right to appoint prime ministers and ministers and cut down on extravagant royal spending, especially by Queen Rania, when more money should be diverted to helping the poor.<br />Unrest against the Jordanian king has been simmering for weeks, creating a double problem for his monarchy.<br />According to Middle East news sources, the Bedouins are making the most noise while the <em><span style="font-size:130%;">Muslim Brotherhood and the majority Palestinian population are biding their time, waiting to jump in when the see the first crack in the royal stand against the disturbances.<br /></span></em>The second problem is more serious. The Jordanian army consists of Bedouin fighters belonging to the same tribes as the protesters out on the streets. The royal security services have the same makeup. A crackdown against the demonstrations could spark a wholesale Bedouin mutiny against the Hashemite royal house or even the first Bedouin coup against a Jordanian monarch. </div><div align="justify">All of these developments leave the entire region as one massive powder keg, and the fuse has not only been lit, its fire is nearing the powder.</div><div align="justify">Prophetically speaking, the question is in all our minds. Is this the prelude to Psalm 83 (Isaiah 17 & 19, Ezekiel 25, Zephaniah 2, and Zechariah 9)?

The panel is to draw up changes at a breakneck pace — within 10 days — to end the monopoly that ousted President Hosni Mubarak's ruling party once held, which it ensured through widespread election rigging.<br /><br />Generals from the Armed Forces Supreme Council, which now rules Egypt, said Tuesday the military wants to hand power to a government and elected president within six months, the firmest timetable yet outlined.<br /><br />The initial constitutional changes may not be enough for many in Egypt calling for the current constitution, now suspended by the military, to be thrown out completely and rewritten to ensure no one can once again establish autocratic rule. Two members on the panel said the next elected government could further change the document if it choses.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">The military's choices for the panel's makeup were a sign of the new political legitimacy of the Muslim Brotherhood, the fundamentalist group that was the most bitter rival of Mubarak's regime.</span></em></strong> Among the panel's members is Sobhi Saleh, a former lawmaker from the Brotherhood who is seen as part of its reformist wing.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING<br /></span><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

He had harsh words for the United States and what he described as its <em>misguided quest for democracy in the Middle East </em>in a telephone call with an Israeli lawmaker a day before he quit as Egypt's president.<br />The legislator, former cabinet minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, said on TV Friday that he came away from the 20-minute conversation on Thursday with the feeling the 82-year-old leader realized "it was the end of the Mubarak era".<br /><br />"He had very tough things to say about the United States," said Ben-Eliezer, a member of the Labor Party who has held talks with Mubarak on numerous occasions while serving in various Israeli coalition governments.<br /><br />"He gave me a lesson in democracy and said: 'We see the democracy the United States spearheaded in Iran and with Hamas, in Gaza, and that's the fate of the Middle East,'" Ben-Eliezer said.<br /><br />"'They may be talking about democracy but they don't know what they're talking about and the result will be extremism and radical Islam,'" he quoted Mubarak as saying.<br /><br />Mubarak pointed to administration failures in reaching out to Iran and their miscalculation with elections in Gaza where Hamas eventually assumed power as evidenced that Washington had no idea what it is about to unleash in Egypt.<br /><br />Mubarak also had some predictions about the future of the Middle East:<br /><br />"He contended the snowball (of civil unrest) won't stop in Egypt and it wouldn't skip any Arab country in the Middle East and in the Gulf.<br />"He said 'I won't be surprised if in the future you see more extremism and radical Islam and more disturbances -- dramatic changes and upheavals," Ben-Eliezer added.<br /><br />I believe Mubarak's assessment is correct. True representative democracy cannot co-exist with Islam. Though an attempt at democracy may take place in the short term, the end result, and probably very quickly, will be islamist radicalism.<br /><br /><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING<br /></span><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

The ICG includes on its board Mohamed ElBaradei, one of the main opposition leaders in Egypt, as well as other personalities who champion dialogue with Hamas, a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.<br /><br />In a June 2008 report entitled, "Egypt's Muslim Brothers Confrontation or Integration," Soros' ICG urges the Egyptian regime to allow the group to participate in political life.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">The report dismisses Egypt's longstanding government crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood as "dangerously short-sighted."<br /></span></strong><br />The ICG report called on Mubarak's regime to "pave the way for the regularization of the Muslim Brothers' participation in political life," including by allowing for the "establishment of a political party with religious reference." The ICG specifically stressed allowing the Brotherhood to serve as an Islamist party several times in its 2008 report. The ICG and its personalities also long have petitioned for the Muslim Brotherhood to be allowed to join the Egyptian government.<br /><br />ElBaradei suspended his board membership in the ICG two weeks ago, after he returned to Egypt to lead the anti-Mubarak protests. U.S. board members include Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was national security adviser to Jimmy Carter; Samuel Berger, who was Bill Clinton's national security adviser; and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamist group.<br /><br />Another ICG member is Robert Malley, a former adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. <strong><em>He resigned after it was exposed he had communicated with Hamas.</em></strong> WND reported Malley long had petitioned for dialogue with Hamas.<br /><br />The ICG defines itself as an "independent, non-profit, multinational organization, with 100 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict." Meanwhile, Soros also has other ties to opposition groups in the Middle East.<br /><br />His Open Society Institute's Middle East and North Africa Initiative has provided numerous grants to a wide range of projects that promote so-called democratic issues across the region, including in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood stands to gain from any future election.<br />Soros' Open Society also funded the main opposition voice in Tunisia, Radio Kalima, which championed the riots there that led to the ouster of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.<br /><br />In September, Soros' group was looking to expand its operations in Egypt by hiring a new project manager for its Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which is run in partnership with the Open Society Justice Initiative. The group is seeking to develop a national network of legal empowerment actors for referral of public-interest law cases. Such organizations in the past have helped represent Muslim Brotherhood leaders seeking election or more authority in the country.<br /><br />Soros himself last Friday made public statements in support of the protests in Egypt, which the Mubarak government has warned will result in the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country.<br /><br />In a Washington Post editorial entitled, "Why Obama Has to Get Egypt Right," Soros recognized that if free elections were held in Egypt, "the Brotherhood is bound to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority." He stated the U.S. has "much to gain by moving out in front and siding with the public demand for dignity and democracy" in Egypt.<br /><br />He claimed the <strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">"Muslim Brotherhood's cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei … is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system."<br /></span></em></strong><br />Soros did not mention his ties to ElBaradei. <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">He did, however, single out Israel as "the main stumbling block" in paving the way toward transition in the Middle East.</span></strong><br /><br />"In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks," he wrote.<br /><br /><br />WND reported this week an Egyptian Islamist terrorist organization founded by the Muslim Brotherhood is re-establishing itself amid the political upheaval in Cairo Both Egyptian and Israeli security officials said the group, Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, is being reconstituted at the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood. Officials affirmed Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya serves as the de facto "military" wing of the Brotherhood, which originally founded Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya.<br /><br />Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya is suspected of involvement in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and it took credit for the 1995 attempt on the life of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. It has carried out scores of deadly terrorist attacks, some targeting foreign tourists.<br /><br />The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to spread Islam around the world. Hamas and al-Qaida are violent Brotherhood offshoots. While the Brotherhood claimed it abandoned violence to push for a peaceful takeover of Egypt, the group's new spiritual leader, Muhammad Badi, recently publicly has called for violent jihad, including against the U.S.<br /><br />On Sunday, an Egyptian security official was quoted in the news media stating Egyptian troops had arrested two armed Palestinians from Hamas who entered the country illegally from the Gaza Strip. The security official told reporters the men had crossed from Gaza into Egypt's Sinai Peninsula using smuggling tunnels and that they were arrested in a stolen car in the town of el-Arish, near the border, along with three Egyptian smugglers.<br /><br />The official told the Associated Press the two Hamas men were caught with weapons, hand grenades, two RPGs and about $8,600 in cash. A senior Egyptian security official speaking to WND on Monday said an investigation found the two Hamas men were aiding in the reorganization of Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, which, he said, is attempting to reconstitute itself under the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood. He then said Hamas is helping Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya organize into divisions and to arm itself with weapons currently in the Sinai waiting to be smuggled into Gaza.<br /><br /><strong>Both Israel and Egypt say Hamas has amassed a large quantity of weapons in the Sinai Peninsula, where the Islamist group has been attempting to smuggle the weaponry into Gaza.<br /></strong><br />Now, the Egyptian security official said, some of those weapons are going to arm the reconstituted Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Brotherhood declares war on U.S.<br /></span></strong><br />Multiple prominent U.S. commentators also have been claiming the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderate organization and denying any Islamist plot to seize power.<br /><br />In November, the Brotherhood's new supreme guide, Muhammad Badi, delivered a sermon entitled, "How Islam Confronts the Oppression and Tyranny."<br /><br />"Resistance is the only solution," stated Badi. "The United States cannot impose an agreement upon the Palestinians, despite all the power at its disposal. [Today] it is withdrawing from Iraq, defeated and wounded, and is also on the verge of withdrawing from Afghanistan because it has been defeated by Islamist warriors." Badi went on to declare the U.S. is easy to defeat through violence, since it is "experiencing the beginning of its end and is heading toward its demise."<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

In the midst of increasing turmoil in Egypt, the Obama administration continues in a fog...a fog so thick, those in power are unable to see, hear, or act on the truth concerning the Muslim Brotherhood.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kn8U8PwzZUs/TVS5_2eP1GI/AAAAAAAAA6I/kyQEZ4GMmi0/s1600/mubarak-protest7.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 392px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 154px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572283145569424482" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kn8U8PwzZUs/TVS5_2eP1GI/AAAAAAAAA6I/kyQEZ4GMmi0/s400/mubarak-protest7.jpg" /></a> Here is one example of the ignorance that plagues our government, an ignorance that will give birth to consequences none of us wish to face.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday that the Muslim Brotherhood is a <strong>“largely secular” organization.<br /></strong><br />“The term ‘Muslim Brotherhood,’” Clapper said, “is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, <strong>largely secular</strong>, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam… They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera. … In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally.”<br /><br />According to the Jerusalem Post, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Ghannem, told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on 1-31-11 that "the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that <strong><em>“the people should be prepared for war against Israel..."</em></strong> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Remember, deception is part and parcel to Jihad. Islam permits lying! In Ko'ran 16:106, this is called “Al-taqiyya.” Al-taqiyya means "brightest star" but refers to dissimulation and diplomatic deception perpetrated against infidels in order to further the cause of Islam.<br /><br />Sadly, it seems our President and his advisers are clueless as to the desires, doctrines, and distinctives of Islam, and have fallen to the most blatant Al-taqiyya coming from the lips of the Muslim Brotherhood. By the way, from the Muslim Brotherhood have spawned the Iranian revolution, Al-Queda, Hamas, and Osama Bin Ladin himself.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

I honestly do no know which. One minute I think he is a naive neophyte, the next, sinister.</div><div align="justify">Obama's quick flipflop has left the Middle East on the brink.</div><div align="justify">When the Egyptian protests began, Obama called for the opposing sides to sit down and talk...to work things out in an orderly fashion. He asked for Mubarak to listen and the protesters to calm down. </div><div align="justify">No one paid any attention.</div><div align="justify">Then, Obama called for the onset of a transition to democracy with the intent for the Egyptian protest movement to shoot for elections in September.</div><div align="justify">Suddenly, Obama made an outright call for the Egyptian army to remove the government and Hosni Mubarak from power. In other words, Obama called for a military coup.</div><div align="justify">The repercussions are just beginning to resound. Hosni Mubarak, dictator as he is, has been supported, propped, and financed by America since his rise to power in the late 70's. The entire Middle East just had reinforced for them what they have believed all along...that America is dishonest and untrustworthy. The problem is they are right! And this is just about to jump up and bite us, and Israel, in the hind quarters.</div><div align="justify">Read my past blogs....The Inner Ring nations of Psalm 83 are forming rapidly out of necessity.

It is now ruled by Hezbollah... i.e. Iran.... i.e radicals. </div><div align="justify">Third, Egypt....it now appears that the news media is backpedaling away from seeing Egypts problem as a pro-democracy movement. The truth is coming out...the Muslim Brotherhood is poised to step into the void being created by Obama's missteps and convert Egypt to radical Islam by force. </div><div align="justify">Fourth, Jordan has had to totally revamp its government in an attempt to appease the same protest movement. Eventually, Jordan will be forced to accept radical leadership from Iran.</div><div align="justify">Now, Saudi Arabia is opening new ties with Iran as a result of our president's ineptitude.</div><div align="justify">Read the following from Debkafile:</div><div align="justify"><br />Deep US-Saudi rift over Egypt: Abdullah stands by Mubarak, turns to Tehran<br />DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 10, 2011</div><div align="justify">The conversation between President Barack Obama and Saudi King Abdullah early Thursday, Feb. 10, was the most acerbic the US president has ever had with an Arab ruler, debkafile's Middle East sources report. They had a serious falling-out on the Egyptian crisis which so enraged the king that some US and Middle East sources reported he suffered a sudden heart attack. Rumors that he had died rocked the world financial and oil markets that morning and were denied by an adviser to the ruling family. Some Gulf sources say he has had heart attacks in the past.<br /><br />Those sources disclose that the call which Obama put into Abdullah, who is recuperating from back surgery at his palace in Morocco, brought their relations into deep crisis and placed in jeopardy the entire edifice of US Iran and Middle East policies.<br /><br />The king chastised the president for his treatment of Egypt and its president Hosni Muhbarak calling it a disaster that would generate instability in the region and imperil all the moderate Arab rulers and regimes which had backed the United States until now. <span style="font-size:130%;">Abdullah took Obama to task for ditching America's most faithful ally in the Arab world and vowed that if the US continues to try and get rid of Mubarak, the Saudi royal family would bend all its resources to undoing Washington's plans for Egypt and nullifying their consequences.<br /></span><br />According to British intelligence sources in London, the Saudi King pledged to make up the losses to Egypt if Washington cuts off military and economic aid to force Mubarak to resign. He would personally instruct the Saudi treasury to transfer to the embattled Egyptian ruler the exact amounts he needs for himself and his army to stand up to American pressure.<br /><br />Through all the ups and downs of Saudi-US relations since the 1950s no Saudi ruler has ever threatened direct action against American policy.<br />A senior Saudi source told the London Times that "Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated."<br /><br />Indeed, our sources add, the king at the age of 87 is fearful that in the event of a situation developing in Saudi Arabia like the uprising in Egypt, Washington would dump him just like Mubarak.<br /><br />debkafile's intelligence sources add that replacement aid for Egypt was not the only card in Abdullah's deck. He informed Obama that without waiting for events in Egypt to play out or America's response, he had ordered the process set in train for raising the level of Riyadh's diplomatic and military ties with Tehran. Invitations had gone out from Riyadh for Iranian delegations to visit the main Saudi cities.<br /><br />Abdullah stressed he had more than one bone to pick with Obama. The king accused the US president of turning his back not only on Mubarak but on another beleaguered American ally, the former Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri, when he was toppled by Iran's surrogate Hizballah.<br /><br />Our sources in Washington report that all of President Obama's efforts to pacify the Saudi king and explain his Egyptian policy fell on deaf ears.<br />Arab sources in London reported Tuesday, Feb. 8, that a special US presidential emissary was dispatched to Morocco with a message of explanation for the king. He was turned away. This is not confirmed by US or Saudi sources.<br /><br />The initiation of dialogue between Riyadh and Tehran is the most dramatic fallout in the region from the crisis in Egypt. Its is a boon for the ayatollahs who are treated the sight of pro-Western regimes either fading under the weight of domestic uprisings, or turning away from the US as Saudi Arabia is doing now.<br /><br />This development is also of pivotal importance for Israel. Saudi Arabia's close friendship with the Mubarak regime dovetailed neatly with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's alignment with Egypt and provided them with common policy denominators. The opening of the Saudi door to the Iranian push toward the Red Sea and Suez Canal tightens the Iranian siege ring around Israel.<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

The following is a portion of his thoughts.<br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Here are some implications:<br /></span><em>--Israel will not take risks or make concessions based on this administration's promises because it doesn't keep its promises or its commitments. The Administration is only proving the ineptness that Israelis already expected.<br />--But, of course, the same applies to the Palestinian Authority. Do you think it believes the U.S. government is going to protect it from Hamas?<br />--Do you think the Saudis and Jordanians believe America will protect them from Iran?<br />--Do you think the democratic oppositions in Lebanon and Turkey and Iran believe the United States will help them despite what he did in Egypt?<br />--Unintentionally, the mistakes of the Obama Administration has become a factor spreading the power of radical Islamist movements. People aren't going to like that sentence but it is objectively true. Israelis know it; Arabs know it; Iran's leadership knows it.</em><br /><br />Note: Did you notice the implication of Israel no longer counting on the US to do what is right concerning Iran. If they cannot count on Obama, does this mean they are one step closer to a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities?<br /><br />Another question I ask is this; Has the president been naive and idealistic in his approach to the Middle East and Islam, or could he in reality be purposefully furthering an Islamic agenda? I suppose it would be easy to jump up and shout that the president is Islamic. But really, all one need do is look at the two year track record he has established. He doesn't have to be Islamic to tout Islam....and tout Islam he does. Some facts that add up to real trouble.<br />1. Obama speaks to the Egyptian parliament and declares America is no longer a Christian nation, but one of the largest Islamic nations in the world.<br />2. In the same speech, Obama forcefully throws Israel under the bus and calls for the division of the land into one contiguous Palestinian State.<br />3. Obama chose to attempt to negotiate with the Ahmadenijad regime of Iran concerning their push for nuclear weapons. That failed, so a serious of threatened deadlines came and went...no results other than Iran thumbing its nose at America and further threatening Israel.<br />4. Obama disrespects Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyah, by issuing an ultimatum, then leaving him sitting alone in the White House dinning room while he went to have lunch with Michelle.<br />5. Obama changes the mission of NASA from space exploration to a Muslim outreach program.<br />6. Obama refuses to affirm that the Fort Hood shooter was motivated to perpetrate the massacre by a radical Islamic cleric.<br />7. Obama attempted to change the status of Islamic terrorists locked up at Guantanamo Bay from enemy combatant to that of a common criminal, thereby giving them the full rights of due process enjoyed by American citizens.<br />8. Obama declared the Jewish settlements in the JEWISH CAPITAL of Jerusalem as the reason for Palestinian intransigence. This was jumped on by the Palestinians, who then blamed Israel for derailing peace negotiations.<br />9. Obama quickly labeled a police officer "stupid" after the man followed proper procedure in confronting an Obama crony who happened to be drunk and belligerent, while refusing to offer his opinion about the 911 Mosque.<br />10. Obama called on the Egyptian military to physically oust President Mubark if the man refused to leave office peacefully. This was done with the knowledge that the Muslim Brotherhood is stepping quickly into the void being created by protesters...with Mohammad El Baradei being in the lead. (El Baradei is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood)<br /><br />Again, I do not know if Obama is a Muslim or not. One thing I do know, Barack Obama's claim of being a Christian means nothing...unless of course one believes that an adherent of Black liberation theology is actually Christian.<br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

What is happening in Egypt is not a move toward democracy. Sure, many of the protesters are idealistic enough to believe that ousting the dictator, Mubarak, will lead to democratic government.</div><div align="justify">Even our naive-to-the-Middle-East president has called for a transition to a government that is represented by all religious and secular factions. This is not only foolish, it is blind!. Radical Islam i.e. the Muslim Brotherhood (which boasts of such characters as Osama bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri, Sheik Mohammad, and many others) is ready to step in and place Egypt in the radical column. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The intent of the Muslim Brotherhood is well documented, and in regards to what this blog is all about, the destruction of Israel and annihilation of the Jews is at the top of the list. While we worry about oil, or having Muslims feel good about us, radicalism is taking over. The following is an example....an interview between Sean Hannity and Sheik Anjem Choudary. Sean quickly gets to the truth of the matter.<br /></div><p align="justify"><em>A Muslim cleric Wednesday said Egypt will be ruled by Sharia law and eventually the United States – and the whole world – will fall to radical Islam. In a heated interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Sheik Anjem Choudary also called for the destruction of Israel, saying the Jewish state needs to be “repelled” for what it has done to Muslims.<br /><br />“Sharia will come and it will remove the corruption of democracy, and freedom, and all of your exploitation,” Choudary said. “You are worried because you know Islam is coming to your backyard.”<br /><br />After hedging his answers on several question about his beliefs, Hannity vehemently asked Choudary to be specific about al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden.<br /><br />“You said you were on Osama bin Laden’s side: Three thousand Americans were slaughtered on 9-11, you support this man. I am asking you, do you think the people responsible for that are going to go to meet Allah in heaven and get 72 virgins?” Hannity asked. “It’s a simple – you’re supposed to be a lawyer and you’re not particularly bright – It’s a simple question: Do they get the virgins or not sir?<br /><br />Choudary retorted, detailing U.S. actions in Iraq. Hannity would have none of it.<br /><br />“The point is, you are radical, murder-supporting fascist, and you want [your ways] to be spread to the rest of the world,” Hannity said.<br /><br />Hannity then asked if Choudary would like to see Israel’s destruction.<br /><br />“When you occupy someone’s land, and you steal their resources, and you kill innocent, men, women, and children, then of course that needs to be repelled,” Choudary replied. “Every Muslim knows that Israel is occupying Muslim land. This is Muslim land that has been stolen – and it will be revived.”<br /><br /></em><br />What we are seeing is the fulfillment of Psalm 83 in progress. Why are we shocked? Have we lost our belief that we are literally at the doorstep of the long prophesied last days? You can read through my blogs to find out what it is all about, but simply put, Egypt (Hagrites in Psa. 83) will join a group of nations that border Israel in a coalition designed to destroy the Jews. The other nations involved are Lebanon (now controlled by Hizbollah), Syria, Jordan (Moab and Edom), Gaza (controlled by Hamas), and at least part of Saudi Arabia (Ishmael). These inner ring nations will join to attack Israel. According to Isaiah 17, Damascus Syria will be destroyed overnight, and in Ezekiel 25, a parallel passage, God says "I will destroy them by the hand of my people Israel." </p><p align="justify">This is what is coming. The wildfire of protests across the Middle East could be the beginning of radical Islam's complete takeover of the inner ring nations. </p><p align="justify">I encourage you to pray for Christian brothers and sisters in these nations, for they are being persecuted tremendously. I encourage you to pray for a mighty move of God in order to bring about the salvation of as many Muslims as possible. Time is winding down quickly.<br /><br /><br /></p><div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

The moderate Islamic government of Egypt is on the verge of collapse at the hands of the radical jihadist movement called "the Islamic Brotherhood." Egypt is one of the principle nations that will be involved in a coaliton of "inner ring" neighbors of Israel found in Psalm 83. Egypt, identified in the passage as the Hagrites, will dispose of its peace agreement with Israel and join an attack meant to bring about the final annihilation of the Jews. Ezekiel 25 tells us this plan will fail and that God will destroy these nations "by the hand of my people Israel."<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TUGMVKN_LaI/AAAAAAAAA5s/lGhvZxeHk5Q/s1600/Tantawi_Mohamed_Hussein.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 127px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566884909554806178" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TUGMVKN_LaI/AAAAAAAAA5s/lGhvZxeHk5Q/s400/Tantawi_Mohamed_Hussein.jpg" /></a> </div><div align="justify"> Read the following from Debkafile and see how that Psalm 83 war is one step closer should Egypt fall into Islamic radicalism.</div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Mubarak's defense minister bids for US backing in Washington<br /></span></strong>DEBKAfile Special Report January 27, 2011<br /><div align="justify">Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has sent his defense minister Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi to Washington with an urgent request for US backing for his embattled regime against the street protest movement which gained in violence on its second day, Wednesday, Jan. 26. debkafile's Washington sources report that in secret meetings, the Egyptian defense minister put the situation before President Barack Obama and a row of top US political, military and intelligence officials. He warned them that by advocating a soft hand with the demonstrators and responsiveness to their demands, American officials were doing more harm than good. Without a crackdown, he said, the regime was doomed.<br /><br />Tantawi also warned that the radical Muslim Brotherhood, which has stood aside from the opposition protests, was merely biding its time for the right moment to step in and take over. He asked the Obama administration for an urgent airlift of advanced riot control equipment.<br /><br />The American response to the case presented by Tantawi is not known. Disclosure of his trip to Washington might well add fuel to the fires of disaffection burning in cities across Egypt. The protests are spearheaded by a youth opposition coalition whose members are proud of their Arab and Egyptian identity. Evidence of the regime's collaboration with a foreign power may well heighten their resolve to battle the regime and the million security services agents which Mubarak put on the streets Wednesday.<br />Slogans of "US out" and "Death to the US" have begun to appear on anti-Mubarak placards.<br /><br />Wednesday night, debkafile reported:<br />The level of anti-government protest and violence escalated in the streets of Egyptian cities Wednesday night, Jan. 26 even after President Hosni Mubarak ordered a million security officers to back up the police and for the first time open fire on rioters in the town of Suez, leaving scores of dead and wounded. Western sources told debkafile that security forces lost control of the situation in the main Suez Canal port after protesters managed to break through a line of police defending the suburb housing government institutions and set them on fire.<br /><br />They torched police headquarters and the regional premises of Mubarak's ruling NDP.<br /><br />The president who has not been seen in public since the outbreaks broke out Tuesday has placed four armored divisions on emergency standby and cancelled all leaves – two on operational preparedness outside Cairo and two near the towns on the banks of the Suez Canal. Officers and men on furlough were ordered back to their bases.<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

It began with a visit by Russian President, Dimitry Medvedev, to Iran, a visit in which he expressed that it was time Russia and Iran become full partners in every area, including militarily. In those conversations, Medvedev hinted that it may be time for Russia to recognize an independent Palestinian state at the United Nations. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Evidently, Barack Obama doesn't want to be out staged by his Russian counterpart and word has leaded that Obama will not veto an important resolution at the UN condemning Israeli settlements in their own capital of Jerusalem. Professing himself to be wise he is certainly looking foolish. He is again at the cusp of dissing our one and only ally in the Middle East. He is about to throw Israel under a very big bus. Read the following from Debkafile.</div><div align="justify"><strong>Obama to withhold veto from Palestinian UN move to condemn Israeli settlements</strong><br />DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 22, 2011</div><div align="justify">Israel and the US are set for a collision if President Barack Obama stands by his refusal to veto a Palestinian-Arab motion due to be tabled at the UN Security Council condemning Israel for its settlement policy in the West Bank and Jerusalem, debkafile's Washington sources report. If he did, he would be the first US president to let an anti-Israel motion go through the Security Council; building on the West Bank and even in the forty-year old suburbs of East Jerusalem would become illegal, as would also municipal, police and military actions in these places.<br /><br />This situation would throw Israel's relations with the US, the UN and the European Union into deep crisis. By failing to block such a motion, Obama would encourage the Palestinians and hostile Arab states to continue to use the UN Security Council to undermine Israel's legitimacy and even recognize a unilateral Palestinian state within the pre-1967 borders without negotiations.<br /><br />The White House in Washington is maintaining a façade of normalcy in relations with the Netanyahu government. Last week, two senior US officials – Dennis Ross, presidential adviser on Iran and the Middle East, and Fred Hof, George Mitchell's deputy and adviser on Syria and Lebanon, arrived in Jerusalem with a new proposal: The Obama administration and Netanyahu government would work out the security arrangements to be incorporated in a potential peace accord with the Palestinians and so ease the path toward a deal on borders.<br />However, debkafile's sources point out that by failing to veto a Palestinian motion on settlements, Obama is a priori dictating future borders which no mainstream Israeli party. even the dovish Kadima, would accept, because it would entail turning the clock to the period before the 1967 war, one of the most hazardous of Israel's history. Every Israeli government since then its absolutely committed to obtaining secure and defensible borders in any accommodation.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

Then, with Stalin, they warmed our hearts with cute experimentation in cruel authoritarian government ala the figurative meeting of Cosimo De Medici I and Karl Marx. Threats to blow the West to smithereens underscored this nostalgic era.<br /><br />After being single-handedly responsible for the formation of the largest, most dreadful Islamic terrorist organization, al-Qaeda, when they lost a war to Afghanistan; they greeted Iran’s Islamic Revolution with aiding that country to build its first nuclear reactor.<br /><br />So what is Russia up to these days? Why, I’ll tell you what, after years of imprisoning their poverty-stricken Jews within the now-ruined walls of their fallen Soviet Union, they have decided to lead the world in the fight for Palestinian Statehood, along lines that defy the State of Israel.<br /><br />Plus, the price of Kettle One, has just gone up! Bummer…<br /><br />Dmitry Medvedev reaffirmed his recognition of a Palestinian state, saying Moscow has no reason to change the position adopted by the former Soviet Union when they first recognized an Arab State in Palestine under Arafat in 1988.<br />The Russian President went down to old Jericho last week and said: “Russia’s position remains unchanged. Russia made its choice a long time ago…We supported and will support the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to an independent state with its capital in East Jerusalem.”<br />Mahmoud Abbas thanked Medvedev and his country for being “one of the first states in the world to recognize the state of Palestine in 1988“.<br /><br />An al Jazeera journalist realized: “This surely has raised a lot of hopes and a lot of optimism among Palestinians that this kind of recognition would boost their efforts and might influence the upcoming quartet meeting in February…”<br /><br /><br />Next month, the Middle East Quartet of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and of course Russia will meet in Munich to shock the peace process back to life.<br /><br />Medvedev also said: “We discussed the possible prospects of resuming the dialogue…In order to do that, we need to express maximum moderation. This in the first place relates to the freezing of settlements…”<br /><br />Don't be surprised if a surge in the Palestinian Statehood takes place as a result of that meeting!</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING </span><span style="color:#660000;">NOTE to Lightning Chronicle Enthusiasts:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#660000;">Book Three: Then Comes Lightning can be read chapter by chapter at </span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#660000;">www.lightningchronicles.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!

The Christian Church is becoming less theologically literate.<br /></strong>What used to be basic, universally-known truths about Christianity are now unknown mysteries to a large and growing share of Americans--especially young adults. For instance, Barna Group studies in 2010 showed that while most people regard Easter as a religious holiday, only a minority of adults associate Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Other examples include the finding that few adults believe that their faith is meant to be the focal point of their life or to be integrated into every aspect of their existence. Further, a growing majority believe the Holy Spirit is a symbol of God's presence or power, but not a living entity. As the two younger generations (Busters and Mosaics) ascend to numerical and positional supremacy in churches across the nation, the data suggest that biblical literacy is likely to decline significantly.<br /><strong>2. Christians are becoming more ingrown and less outreach-oriented.</strong><br />Despite technological advances that make communications instant and far-reaching, Christians are becoming more spiritually isolated from non-Christians than was true a decade ago. Examples of this tendency include the fact that less than one-third of born again Christians planned to invite anyone to join them at a church event during the Easter season; teenagers are less inclined to discuss Christianity with their friends than was true in the past; most of the people who become Christians these days do so in response to a personal crisis or the fear of death (particularly among older Americans).<br /><strong>3. Growing numbers of people are less interested in spiritual principles and more desirous of learning pragmatic solutions for life.<br /></strong>When asked what matters most, teenagers prioritize education, career development, friendships, and travel. Faith is significant to them, but it takes a back seat to life accomplishments and is not necessarily perceived to affect their ability to achieve their dreams. Among adults the areas of growing importance are lifestyle comfort, success, and personal achievements. Because we continue to separate our spirituality from other dimensions of life through compartmentalization, a relatively superficial approach to faith has become a central means of optimizing our life experience.<br /><strong>4. Among Christians, interest in participating in community action is escalating.<br /></strong>Largely driven by the passion and energy of young adults, Christians are more open to and more involved in community service activities than has been true in the recent past. While we remain more self-indulgent than self-sacrificing, the expanded focus on justice and service has struck a chord with many. However, despite the increased emphasis, churches run the risk of watching congregants’ engagement wane unless they embrace a strong spiritual basis for such service. Simply doing good works because it's the socially esteemed choice of the moment will not produce much staying power.<br /><strong>5. The postmodern insistence on tolerance is winning over the Christian Church.<br /></strong>Our biblical illiteracy and lack of spiritual confidence has caused Americans to avoid making discerning choices for fear of being labeled judgmental. The result is a Church that has become tolerant of a vast array of morally and spiritually dubious behaviors and philosophies. This increased leniency is made possible by the very limited accountability that occurs within the body of Christ. There are fewer and fewer issues that Christians believe churches should be dogmatic about.<br /><strong>6. The influence of Christianity on culture and individual lives is largely invisible.<br /></strong>Christianity has arguably added more value to American culture than any other religion, philosophy, ideology or community. Yet, contemporary Americans are hard pressed to identify any specific value added. Partly due to the nature of today’s media, they have no problem identifying the faults of the churches and Christian people.<br /><br />Notice that the first trend listed leads to the following five. When Biblical/Theological illiteracy infests the church, the foundation for all other areas of moral living crumbles. Absolutes vanish. Awareness of God and a coming judgment is lost.

Even in the calmest of moments, something is stirring under the surface, and with the right application of heat, could bring and explosion at any time.</div><div align="justify">Such is the case with Israel's neighbor to the north, Lebanon. This country has been in the throes of a civil war since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979. The same forces that brought radical Islam into Iran are at work in Lebanon, along with continual exacerbation by Syria. Syria believes that if it can control Lebanon and have a substantial military presence on the northern border of Israel, it will have the upper hand should war break out with the Jews....which of course, radical Islam desires.</div><div align="justify">This article from the Debkafile shows just how precarious the situation in Lebanon has become. Why is this important to watch? Lebanon is listed in Psalm 83 by the ancient people groups that inhabited its land....Gebal and Amalek. Lebanon forms part of the coalition that will soon be in a shooting war with Israel. According to Ezekiel 25, Israel will win the ultimate victory and assume control of the land.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Lebanon in crisis: Hizballah quits government, US-French buildup, Israel on standby<br /></span></strong>DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 12, 2011<br /><div align="justify">With backing from Tehran, Hizballah and its Christian ally Michel Aoun abruptly quit the Lebanese unity government Wednesday, Jan. 12, in a move that could pave the way for their seizure of power in Beirut. They struck as the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's prosecutor Daniel Bellemare prepared to hand over to the pre-trial judge "within hours or days" indictments naming Hizballah officials in the case of the former premier Rafiq Hariri's assassination in 2005.<br /><br />Hizballah is committed to defying those indictments and refusing to hand over its top officials for extradition by the government.<br /><br />As the Lebanese crisis raced towards it climax, President Barack Obama, Saudi King Abdullah, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri held intense consultations in Washington and New York on a united front against Iran-backed disruptions in Beirut by Hizballah and its allies.<br />Iran's supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said repeatedly that the STL and its rulings are "null and void" because they serve "foreign interests."<br /><br />As the US, France and Israel made military and diplomatic preparations to thwart a clash, Obama scheduled a meeting with the Lebanese Prime Minister for Wednesday night, Jan. 12, to decide how the US, France and its allies would act in a conflagration.<br /><br />Over the weekend, the US president ordered US vessels to buttress the Sixth Fleet stationed in the eastern Mediterranean with the USS Enterprise carrier and its strike group with 6,000 sailors and marines aboard and 80 fighter-bombers. Already deployed there is the USS Bainbridge missile destroyer.<br /><br />On Monday, Jan. 10, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on a tour of the Persian Gulf, expressed concern over the situation in Lebanon. Clinton said: "I'm deeply worried about the efforts to destabilize Lebanon. We should do everything we can to make sure those warnings are not accurate."<br /><br />American military moves in the Mediterranean are intended to signal to Tehran and Hizballah that Washington will be prepared to use force to defend the Saad Hariri government in Lebanon and if necessary deploy aerial forces and the marines to avert a Hizballah takeover in Beirut. The French fleet was also ordered to bolster its naval strength opposite Lebanon.<br /><br />But Hizballah got its move in first. Its resignation from the Hariri government showed that its leaders and Iranian sponsors were not fazed by the US-French military moves off the Lebanese coast and were moving ahead with their plans.<br /><br />debkafile's military sources add that a comment by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Tuesday, Jan. 11, fit into the picture taking shape in Washington, New York and Paris. He remarked to foreign journalists that 60,000 missiles and rockets, all of Iranian and Syrian origin, were now pointing at Israel.<br /><br />Last week, Meir Dagan, at a ceremony marking the end of his tenure as head of the Mossad, said that only 10 countries in the world have firepower on a par with that of Hizballah.<br />According to our sources, it is definitely on the cards for an Iranian-Hizballah move in Lebanon provoking a US-French military response to evolve into a clash between Hizballah and Israel, providing an opportunity for the destruction of Hizballah's might missile arsenal.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><strong>Jimmy Root Jr</strong><br />Author: <span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">DISTANT THUNDER</span><a href="http://www.lightningchronicles.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></a>and the AWARD WINNING <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#000099;">MAGOG RISING<br /></span><strong>Books One and Two of the Lightning Chronicles</strong></span> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501181433515762914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uZVV5E5Vgy0/TFgfXgWuZOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/lff7Nsw91cU/s400/scan0001.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#ccffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">$15 per Copy...SIGNED! </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Buy several for the same shipping rate as ONE!
