MIDDLE EAST UPRISINGS-WILL THEY TURN AGAINST ISRAEL??

Modern day Israel has been surrounded by her multitude of massive Arab enemies for many years now. 

However, at this time, we are seeing the beginning fulfillment of today's David and Goliath; as the waves of violence and revolt ripple across Northern Africa and the Mideast.

Tiny Israel,who only wants to live in peace, is almost being boxed in by these many Arab enemies whose countries are seething with unrest and uprising.

Uppermost in Israel's mind is bound to be the fact that there is an everlasting hatred and vendetta held against them by their Arab neighbors. 

It is important to note that these vicious enemies of Israel have tried to annihilate them in SEVEN different wars since their initial  miraculous inception in 1948. 

To this day, these same Goliaths, with their venomous hatred,continue to spout war rhetoric; often threatening the extermination of Israel. 

These advancing, widespread uprisings blazing across the region may serve to awaken the ancient hatred; thereby fomenting the aggression and focusing these insurgents' bellicosity towards their common archenemy, Israel.

The progressive upheaval does appear to inciting Islamic violence against Israel.

Just last week, after a long period of relative calm, violent atrocities by Israel's foe, Hamas, were committed against Israel's civilian population.

Please see the following entry for details regarding these inhumane attacks:

The excerpts from the following article define the many rationales for the legitimate concerns, regarding the safety of Israel, in relation to the spreading insurrection across the Middle East:

 "As anti-government unrest continues to ripple across the Middle East, many in Israel are worried that changes in the Arab world could lead to renewed hostilities against them.

But there are also concerns that anti-Israel opposition groups, including the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, might gain a larger voice in Egyptian decision-making and that unrest in the Arab world could undermine Jordan's stability.

It's not clear whether Egypt's new government will be willing or able to play a similar role. Hamas is the Gaza branch of the Muslim brotherhood and could gain strength if their Egyptian brethren rise to power.

'Sooner or later, the Arab revolt will reach (the Palestinians),' wrote columnist Ari Shavit in the Haaretz newspaper. He said the Palestinians were influenced by 'the trauma of Hamas' rise in the Gaza Strip, relative prosperity in the West Bank and the expectation of statehood materializing within months. If that expectation is disappointed, 'a political tsunami' will result, he predicted."

The escalation of the "kingdom against kingdom"(civil unrest within a nation) rippling across the Middle East are the advancing birth pains prophesied by Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach,that would point to the end of the age. 

The fruition of His prophecy is well illustrated in this animated map; which provides the visual proof of how tiny Israel is surrounded by her immense and vast Islamic enemies who are in raging turmoil, that is accelerating by the moment!!

^{Matthew 24: 6} You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.

We need to be in fervent prayer for the children of Israel. It is not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" their enemies will once again attempt to eradicate God's chosen people and "WHEN" is getting very close!

ARE THEY TRYING TO INSTIGATE THE PSALM 83 WAR??

Below is a breakdown, from newest to oldest, of the recent onslaught of attacks on Israel by her neighbors.

These terrorist attacks have recently begun, after a long period of relative peace in Israel.

Notice the attacks appear to be steadily increasing:

"An explosive device was discovered on a road in Haifa late Thursday night. Police bomb sappers neutralized the bomb" 

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213807

 "Security forces arrested two Palestinians found carrying four pipe bombs on Friday morning at a roadblock near Nablus."

 http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213817

"Six mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip landed in open fields in the Eshkol Regional Council on Thursday evening."

 http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213748

"As missile fire from the Gaza Strip escalated on Thursday, the IDF is preparing for the possible deployment of the Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system along Israel’s border with Gaza."

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213742

"A bomb exploded at a crowded bus stop Wednesday in central Jerusalem, killing one woman and wounding 38 in what appeared to be the first militant attack in the city in several years. 

 

The blast could be heard throughout Jerusalem and blew out the windows of two crowded buses." 

 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42228970/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/

"Israel strikes Gaza after massive mortar barrage on south.

Hamas claims responsibility for 10 of the more than 50 mortars fired on southern Israel earlier in day; Gaza medics say five Hamas officers and boy injured in Israeli air strike."

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-strikes-gaza-after-massive-mortar-barrage-on-south-1.350171  

The following analysis of the rationales for these escalating terror attacks, put forth by a learned watchman friend of mine, Shanthi Balasuriyar, is very plausible:

"  Maybe that is why they have put up the Palestinians to start something in Israel to distract the protesters in their respective countries. Jordan, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi are all facing unrest and what better ploy than to distract the people... towards Israel."

"   Against their better judgment these countries will prepare for war against Israel so as to turn the fury of their people towards the Jews. They know that if Egypt had toppled and Libya is struggling with the West poised against them, they have no chance, and hence they will go for this desperate act."

The following statements by the Israeli Opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, that there "is a connection between the bombing attack in Jerusalem and the Grad rocket attacks in Beersheba" and "that force must be used against Hamas and other extremist groups" seems to further confirm the above assessment.

"It looks as if the same extremist organizations will try to exploit the situation as a way to strengthen themselves and weaken the state of Israel, which cannot allow itself to appear weak."

Please note that Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinians and Iran entered into an alliance more than a year ago; deciding to join and aid each other in any future conflict with Israel.

These foes of Israel have been terrorizing Israel for about a week now and do not appear to plan to cease their wave of attacks.

It actually appears as if they are  trying to goad Israel into action; to create an excuse for their unholy alliance to all jump into the fray, to come against Israel.

These many enemies may end up getting more than they bargained for....their demise, as a result of the Psalm 83 War!

Please see the following entry for details of the soon coming Psalm 83 War:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-psalm-83-war-here-are-details.html

 Psalm 83

² See how your enemies growl,
   how your foes rear their heads.
³ With cunning they conspire against your people;
   they plot against those you cherish.
⁴ “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
   so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earthquakes are on the rise...is America next??

From the recent deadly Christchurch earthquake to this week's unusual 4.7 quake in Little Rock, Arkansas, it is becoming more and more evident that the Words of Jesus, prophesied for the last days, are coming to pass before our eyes: 

Matthew 13:8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

I would like to share the following, insightful analysis by a learned friend, R. Johnson, regarding the rise in earthquakes in "divers places" :

"You used to never hear of earthquakes in the central region of the USA. They were something only Californians had to deal with. 

However, they have been rapidly increasing all over the USA and around the world. Nearby Arkansas has had an incredible number of earthquakes recently.

Mississippi and other states in the to-be-affected area are currently preparing for the next New Madrid fault-line to make it's first adjustment (earthquake) in over 200 years. Earthquake emergency scenario exercises are planned for May 2011 in Mississippi.

I learned about these special training exercises because I'm a Ham Radio Operator. A number of Ham Radio Operators who are trained to handle Emergency Communications during a communications infrastructure collapse have been called upon to participate in these exercises. 

(As an aside: Ham Radio is and will be the only reliable means of communication across town, county, state, nation, and globe if and when landline phones, cell phones, and Internet go down or are blocked. Unlike phone and Internet you don't have to pay monthly fees. It's free after the small cost of buying the radio equipment. So if in your emergency planning you have neglected to address a fail proof back up form of communication you might want to look into Ham Radio)

In regards to the New Madrid fault earthquake, I have heard comments that it's not of matter of "if it will happen", but rather "when it will happen" and the general consensus is soon! Hence the importance of preparing for it now.

I also stumbled upon the following unrelated website which is promoting April 19th as Shake Out Day, billed as the largest earthquake drill in the central USA, and warns:

'We all must get better prepared for major earthquakes, and also practice how to protect ourselves when they happen. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help people and organizations do both.'

http://www.shakeout.org/centralus/

The Government seems to know what the Bible prophesies, that earthquakes are going to increase!" ~R. Johnson
