The Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah is now within HOURS & so, quite possibly, is WORLD WAR 3!!!

The Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah is now within HOURS & so, quite possibly, is WORLD WAR 3!!!

"Armada of British naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strike"

"An armada of U.S. and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program.

Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the BRINK OF WAR."

REPENT! THE KING IS COMING FOR HIS READIED BRIDE!!

IS THIS HOW THE PSALM 83 WAR USHERS IN THE ANTICHRIST?

Damascus, Syria is the oldest inhabited city in world history. We are now seeing many Mideast events that could cause it to "cease to be a city", possibly igniting the Psalm 83 War.

Once it all begins, it will be like a chain of dominoes falling.
   
“See, Damascus will cease to be a city but will become a heap of ruins" Isaiah 17:1
 
Note the fact that Iran is not listed among the Psalm 83 allies, even though it is Israel's most vocal enemy.

The following may explain Iran's conspicuous absence from the Psalm 83 War:

Shi'ite Muslim belief is that one day their Messiah, the Mahdi, will return during a very cataclysmic time in human history and will establish the rule of Islam around the world in the last days.

The leader of Iran, Ahmadinejad, and others among the Iranian leadership believe that they are divinely appointed to set up the great cataclysm; which will usher in the Mahdi, their Messiah.

Especially in recent days, it appears as though Iran is deliberately taunting Israel to strike its nuclear program.

Iran goading Israel to strike may be a two fold effort:

1)To bring about global cataclysm so their "Mahdi" will return.

2)To open the door for Syria, Hezbollah of Lebanon and the Palestinians (Hamas), the Saudis & Jordanians to counter attack Israel .
 
In this manner, the Psalm 83 allies could justify attacking Israel, saying they had provocation as Iran's defenders. Therefore, it would all be blamed on Israel.

Due to a strike by Israel, Iran may be "out of commission" for the remainder of the Psalm 83 War. 

This would explain Iran's absence from the list of Psalm 83 War allies.

It is important to note that as a result of the coming Psalm 83 War, victorious Israel will no longer be bordered by her enemies.

Her enemies will be vanquished and she will be in possession of most of her Covenant land.

This week's headlines seem to be directing all the players of the Psalm 83 War to take their place on center stage:

Psalm 83 Coalition-

Tents of Edom = [decedents of Esau] Palestinian Refugees and Southern Jordanians

Ishmaelites = Saudi Arabians

Moab = Palestinian Refugees and Central Jordanians

Hagrites = Egyptians

Gebal = Northern Lebanese

Ammon = Palestinian Refugees and Northern Jordanians

Amalek = Arabs South of Israel

Philista = Palestinian Refugees and Hamas of Gaza Strip

Inhabitants of Tyre = Hezbollah and Southern Lebanese

Assyria = Syrians and perhaps Northern Iraqis included

Children of Lot = Moab and Ammon=Palestinian Refugees and Central and Northern Jordanians

Important to note: Israel has developed a strategy if she is attacked by weapons of mass destruction (WMD's). 

This protective move is named after Samson in the Bible.

Like Samson, who killed himself in order to destroy his enemies, Israel has the "Samson Option".

This is the military strategy wherein:

Israel would respond with massive retaliation according to the "alleged deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence, and possibly against other targets as well"
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

The Samson Option would probably have to be employed if Israel finds herself simultaneously attacked on multiple fronts.
 
Scripture appears to indicate that Israel herself will suffer mass casualties in this coming conflict.

However, Israel's surrounding enemies will either be decimated or subdued.

After the Psalm 83 war, the anti-Zionist countries of the world would be reeling with hatred towards Israel at the carnage.

They viciously hate Israel with a rage from the pits of Hell.

Therefore, it would really inflame them if Israel not only destroyed her menacing neighbors, but also gained their land (including the vast oil resources of Saudi Arabia).

No longer is it acceptable to seize and own land after military defeats as in the days of the "empires".

The world would be livid about Israel's new "occupation" of the land of her defeated enemies.

This is where the "confirm a covenant with many" of Daniel 9:27 comes to play-

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Everyone has always thought that the "covenant with many" would be a peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians.

The Palestinians will never agree to anything less than ALL of Israel and it’s total destruction  There will never be any "peace plan" acceptable.

Many have tried through the years but all have failed at their "peace plans".

After the Psalm 83 war, a Mideast peace plan will be a moot point anyway, because most of the Palestinians will have perished in it.

The antichrist’s “covenant with many”, in the Book of Daniel, has to be an agreement already in place, as it is going to be "confirmed".

It appears that this covenant that is confirmed will not be of of men, but of God, as His covenant is ALL that is important-

God does not care about mere men's agreements!

The covenant in question would be God's Covenant with Abraham giving His land to Abraham and his descendants:

Genesis 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:19The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,20And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,21And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
 
After Israel defeats her many adversaries and victoriously wins  her Abrahamic Covenant land back; the nations of the world would vehemently protest the mass acquisition of her Covenant land.

It may be that after the Psalm 83 War, the antichrist will stand up, against the protests of all the nations, in favor of Israel's right to keep her God-given land.

He may even do so by actually acknowledging the fact that this land is actually God's Covenant land given to Israel.

Thus, he would "confirm the covenant" (God's Covenant) with many (the nations and Israel).

The antichrist figure thus would be instrumental in Israel being allowed to retain and redeem her Covenant land.

Therefore, it may be thought by the Children of Israel that he is their long awaited Messiah.

As per the preceding Temple Mount Faithful link:

"The complete redemption of Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the coming of Messiah Ben David are the next stages in G-d's end-time plans with Israel and the entire world."

Since Israel would then be the recognized owner of the land, the 3rd Temple could also be rebuilt.

All the preparations to build the Third Temple are completely ready:
   
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/07/third-temple-ready-and-waiting.html

If the antichrist protects Israel's right to retain/redeem God's Covenant land and be able to rebuild their Temple, it would reason that he could easily be viewed to be  anointed by God.

According to the below, the revealing of the antichrist, by his role in confirming the above ”covenant with many", appears to be after the Rapture.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-8".. now you know what is restraining him from being revealed at this time; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own appointed time. For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, but it is restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed "
 
Therefore, it appears that the Rapture of the Church may coincide closely with the destruction of Damascus and/or the Psalm 83 War.

Many reputable Christians have validated their reasoning and are of the mindset that Obama may possibly be THE antichrist (or at least a forerunner).

Interestingly, Obama has direct ancestry to all the potential blood lines speculated for the Antichrist:
 
1.Assyrian

2.Muslim,traced to the Prophet Muhammed

3.Traced to the Caesar's Roman Empire 

4. A Jew, traced to King David

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2011/ronr628.htm

Even though Obama presently politically leans anti-Israel and pro-Arab-Muslim, he could flip-flop (as is his method of operation).

After there is no Palestinian presence to give Israel's land away to, Obama could change his tune and instead advocate in favor of Israel.

If not Obama, someone else could come as a broker, to "confirm" this covenant, allowing Israel to redeem the rest of her Covenant land.


The Psalm 83 War would probably be of very short duration due to all of our high tech, modern weapons of mass destruction.

As noted above, the Rapture may be in close proximity to the coming Mideast War.

Therefore, there may not be a chance for believers to continue a "wait and see" attitude; in order to decide to give up the things of the world, and to focus on God.

Those who choose to do so would be the foolish virgins, not having enough oil in their lamps.

God knows the intent of the heart.

The discerner of men's hearts knows whether the affections for the world are only being released, because they are all about to be ripped away.

God knows if one is crying out to Him only because of fear of the coming Tribulation, as opposed to having a remorseful and repentant heart.

To be among the readied Bride, we have to love, obey and be so devoted to God that He is our focus, not the world.

To put the world over God is to be found in a state of adultery when Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, comes.

Those found in such a condition will not be among the true Bride...

There will be much "weeping and gnashing of teeth" by those who allowed themselves to be entrapped by the fleeting allures of this life.

The time to REPENT and PUT GOD FIRST is TODAY-before it is too late!!

WE ARE NOW ON THE ADVENT OF THE PSALM 83 WAR

Each day, there are new global headlines shouting out that the stage is almost completely set for the Psalm 83 war.

The below listed players of the Psalm 83 war are beginning to dominate the worlds' news.  

Tents of Edom = [decedents of Esau] Palestinian Refugees and Southern Jordanians (including the terrorist group, Hamas, who rules over Gaza

Ishmaelites = Saudi Arabians

Moab = Palestinian Refugees and Central Jordanians

Hagrites = Egyptians NOTE: Since the Arab Spring's ousting of Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood is heading Egypt towards breaking the decades long peace treaty with Israel, leading towards enmity with Israel.

Gebal = Northern Lebanese

Ammon = Palestinian Refugees and Northern Jordanians

Amalek = Arabs South of Israel

Philista = Palestinian Refugees, including Hamas of Gaza

Inhabitants of Tyre = Hezbollah and Southern Lebanese

Assyria = Syrians and perhaps Northern Iraqis included

Children of Lot = Moab and Ammon=Palestinian Refugees and Central and Northern Jordanians

Most of the nationalities listed in the above Psalm 83 alliance are currently making headlines, spewing anti-Semitic war rhetoric. The others, that are currently not so vocal, will probably join into the fray once the conflict begins.

It is a known, yet unstated fact, that Iran is racing to complete it’s nuclear weaponry, so it can make good on its many threats to “annihilate” the nation of modern day Israel.

Please see the previous blog entry detailing why there are no hopes, whatsoever, of curtailing Iran’s  efforts to achieve its stated goal “to wipe Israel off the map”.

It provides ample evidence how attacking Israel, is  a a religious/spiritual obligation that Iran’s leaders cannot deviate from:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/02/military-confrontation-between-nation.html

It is important to note that more than two years ago, Syria, Iran and Hezbollah forged a pact to be allies against Israel.

The terrorist group, Hamas ,which has governmental control of Gaza is also linked to Iran. Iran financially backs this enemy of Israel. Hamas began shelling Israel with rockets this past week.

It appears that Hamas, as Iran’s proxy is acting on Iran’s behalf . Their purpose may be twofold:

1) To distract Israel while Iran hurriedly puts the finishing touches on its nuclear warheads.

2) To aid in the assessment of Israel’s military capability as well as  Israel's system of protecting her citizenry. These evaluations may be being performed in order to stratergize prior to waging war against Israel.

As of today, Iran is also calling it’s ally, Hezbollah, quartered in Lebanon, to start the assault on Israel:

“Iran threatens Israel with bombardment from Lebanon”

http://www.debka.com/article/21825/

Also being reported today, is further provocation of Israel; wherein “Iran is wanting to Syria to “distract” Israel“ :

"Iran officials told Assad to focus on Israel to divert attention from Syria crisis"

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/report Iran-officials-told-assad-to-focus-on-Israel-to-divert-attention-from-Syria-crisis-1.418710

As Iran's ally, Syria may even strike Israel with weapons of mass destruction. Israel may be forced into the "Samson Option" if this occurs.

Please see details of the “Samson Option” here:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/03/inevitable-mideast-war-cannot-delay.html


Syria may also try to utilize weapons of mass destruction against Israel in order to divert the world’s attention off of Assad’s continued massacre of his Syrian citizens.

This call to "distract Israel" by Iran to its ally, Syria; would be a measure to buy Iran more time. Iran appears to be in the end stages of procuring a nuclear weapon, to use against Israel.

Both of these situations may lead to the fulfillment of the Psalm 83 War, as well as the leveling of Damascus as prophesied in Isaiah 17:

Isaiah 17:1 “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.

Below are likely scenarios that could easily kick start this last days war:

A) Israel is forced into a preemptive strike against Iran; due to their nuclear weapon ambitions and threats to annihilate Israel.

B) Israel is forced to retaliate against Syria.

To reiterate, Assad may try to divert attention from Syria's civil war by making Israel the new battleground in conjunction with it being an offensive attack to "distract" Israel, so Iran can complete the preparation of its nukes.

From all the multiple, intimidating threats it appears that Iran and her allies may be intentionally trying to goad Israel into a preemptive strike against Iran; so that Syria and the other Psalm 83 allies can join in and attack Israel.

As such, the world would blame only Israel. The world at large, hates Israel and always blames her, even though she has always only operated on the defensive.

From Psalm 83:1-8 it is evident that all of aforementioned enemies of Israel have devised a plot against her, in order to "cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Psalm 83:1-8
1 Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; 7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Selah

As such, Iran and her allies appear to be deliberately taunting Israel in an effort:

1) to bring about the cataclysmic return of their Shiite Islamic Messiah, the Mahdi

2) to bring to fulfillment, their long awaiting goal of the extinction of Israel.

Therefore, these enemies of Israel are literally “looking for a fight”.

Syria, Lebanon (Hezbollah) and the Palestinians (Hamas)  want to be able to justify to the world, their rationales for attacking Israel.

Israel may soon be  forced into striking Iran in order to preserve her very existence. Iran’s allies will use their alliance, with the excuse of being Iran's protectorate; in order to launch a multifront attack against the tiny nation of Israel.

Satan has used many wicked men, throughout the ages, to try to exterminate God's chosen people.

God's Word tells us that this time will be no different. No matter how hard they try, no one will never be able to destroy Israel, the apple of God's eye.

In fact, the children of Israel will emerge from the Psalm 83 War as the victors.

The destruction of Israel, that her enemies so desire, will be heaped instead upon them, just as God forewarned at the beginning of time,  in the Book of Genesis:

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

As we see this advent of the Psalm 83 War, may we also see that we are at the end of the age.

With that realization, may we all finally conclude that all that really matters is our relationship with the Most High God through His Son, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ.

WHY A MILITARY CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND IRAN IS NOT AN "IF" BUT "WHEN"!

Israel has essentially recently been given notice that she must strike Iran before 6 weeks time, or face extinction at their hands:

"Iran cuts down to six weeks timeline for weapons-grade uranium:

http://www.debka.com/article/21760/

According to the above time frame of 6 weeks, it would coincide with Passover time this year.

Perhaps, Israel may be delivered from her arch enemy, Iran, just as she was delivered at the very first Passover, from her bondage in Egypt.

Also, we are fast approaching Purim, the celebration of the protection of the Jews from the hatred of Haman of Persia, who also desired to annihilate the Jews.

Noteworthy is the fact that ancient Persia is modern day Iran. History, therefore, appears to be repeating itself.

We are witnessing Ahmadinejad of Iran, duplicating Haman of Persia's attempt to totally destroy the Jewish race.

Another possibility is that we may soon see the modern day equivalent of God's protection of His chosen people from their Persian/Iranian adversary, as in Purim, outlined in the book of Esther.

It is imperative to thoroughly understand the driving force behind Iran's zealous Shiite president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

He is a devout Shi'a Muslim, who is eagerly awaiting the return his Islamic Messiah, known as the "Mahdi".

Ahmadinejad believes that the "Mahdi" will come to Earth following a great catastrophe like a nuclear war.

This catastrophe will supposedly lead to the Mahdi bringing peace to the world, converting the remainder of Earth's inhabitants to Islam.

Therefore, Iran appears to be goading Israel into launching a preemptive strike against them because the Iranian leadership thinks the ensuing global catastrophe will usher in their Islamic Messiah figure, the Mahdi.

Due to this apocalyptic theology, Iran's agenda is to intentionally provoke major widespread conflict in order to bring about global cataclysm and their long awaited Messiah figure.

As such, no diplomacy, crippling sanctions or incentives for peace by the West will deter them from their goal.

The Iranian Shiite leadership's ideology regarding their "Mahdi" is rendering their track irreversible.

Thus, Iran is advancing full speed ahead towards their goal of obtaining nuclear weapons, so as to bring about worldwide calamity.

Noteworthy is the fact that Iran's allies (all of whom are listed among the Psalm 83 War coalition of nations) have been steadily preparing; by militarily fortifying themselves for years, for this very event.

They are all on standby to attack Israel, when she is forced into a preemptive strike against Iran.

Please see this entry regarding the details of the soon coming, prophesied Psalm 83 War, from which Israel emerges as the victor:

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

Iran's assumption appears to be that by provoking Israel into attacking, that it will "kill two birds with one stone":

1) The resulting World War will lead to global cataclysm, bringing about the return of their Mahdi.

2) Their allies will simultaneously attack Israel from several fronts,  accomplishing Iran's oft stated goal of "wiping Israel off the map".

Iran has voiced its desire that  Israel be annihilated, many, many times:

Israel must "be wiped off the map" ,”would soon disappear off the map", "will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world, ... The World without Zionism.”,  "We will help 'cut out the cancer of Israel".

The very fact that the IAEA has now clarified that Iran is soon about to attain its aspiration of a nuclear bomb, should show the entire world that Israel has absolutely no choice but to protect herself, from what Iran intends to be her certain annihilation.

A military confrontation between the state of Israel and the soon-to-be nuclear Iran is not a matter of IF, but WHEN and WHEN is drawing very NEAR!

The last days prophecy that "DAMASCUS SHALL CEASE TO BE A CITY" is coming into sight...

Mideast events are quickly aligning to where many possible rationales for the prophesied total destruction of Damascus are coming into view.

Important to note is the fact that Damascus, Syria is the oldest, inhabited city in the history of the world.

Therefore, this Biblical prophecy wherein Damascus "ceases to be a city" has never been fulfilled, and is yet future.

Events in the Mideast are degrading by the day, so this prophecy about the total destruction of Damascus; appears to occur in the very NEAR future.

"IDF fears Syria attack as pressure builds on Assad"

"Israel concern hones in on recent reports that Assad is using nerve gas against the new opposition."

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=258040

The president of Syria, Bashar Assad is the one who ought to be fearing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)!

Isaiah 17:1 Behold, DAMASCUS WILL CEASE TO BE A CITY will become a heap of ruins.

God's end time prophetic warnings are crying out to those who will "have an ear", to prepare their hearts.

"He who will have an ear, let him hear" Matthew 11:15

It is time for all to decide which god they truly serve...the everlasting God of Heaven or the god of this fleeing world. 

Many professing Christians appear to be WAY TOO comfortable in and WAY TOO attached to their earthly lives.

This is extremely dangerous ground to be found treading.

As followers of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, we are called to be set apart from the world.

However, many have been successfully lured in by the enemy; to where they are "bosom buddies" with the world, and don't even realize it.

"You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?..." James 4:4

God foretold this END now coming coming into view, from the very BEGINNING.

In His boundless love and mercy, God even elaborated on the many last days signs that we are to WATCH for, so we could know as the end approached, to draw nigh to Him.

As we witness all the prophesied end times signs exploding all around us, may we recognize that it is time to release the grip that the world has on us and that we may have on this world. Lest, it cause us to be fastened too tightly to this earthly life when the Savior returns.

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.' 1 John 2:15

THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE /TRIBULATION PERIOD RAPIDLY APPROACHES

Today's coinciding, breaking nuclear announcements made by Iran and by Obama are surely no sheer coincidence.

"Obama weighs BIG CUTS (up to 80%) in NUCLEAR weapons stockpile"

http://www.stltoday.com/news/national/obama-weighs-big-cuts-in-nuclear-weapons-stockpile/article_a3f9b7f5-f92c-5adc-b813-53d71228356a.html

Obama's major NUCLEAR news, announced today, the same exact day of Iran's big NUCLEAR news, is surely nothing less than premeditated.

"Iran trumpets NUCLEAR ADVANCES" 

http://www.torontosun.com/2012/02/15/iran-trumpets-nuclear-advances

Insane as it sounds, there is method to Obama's madness...

He is deliberately sending a loud and clear message to Iran and the rest of the world.

In essence, Obama is indicating that America is soft and has no plans to use nukes, offensively or defensively.

He is basically attempting to hand both Israel and her protectorate, America, over to the Islamic regimes on a silver platter....

This simultaneous "nuclear news"  appears to be a concerted effort to help push Israel towards a preemptive attack of Iran.

Israel is bound to realize that Obama's nefarious intent behind this not so veiled message, is to embolden her enemies.

Concurrently, Iran is alerting Israel that they are on the precipice of a nuclear bomb; to make good on their threats to "wipe Israel off the face of the map".

Ultimately, it is clear to all involved that Obama is indicating that with him at the helm, America will "stand down" and not come to Israel's aid.

God holds the hearts of all kings in his hands.

Therefore, all these deceitful and wicked plans are being allowed by the Most High, to fulfill His end times prophetic Word, to finally bring His chosen ones of Israel to salvation, through Yeshua HaMashiach.

May blinded eyes be open to the fact that the prophesied "Time of Jacob's Trouble", known to Christians as the "Tribulation period", is fast approaching..

"Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jeremiah 30:7
