THE INEVITABLE MIDEAST WAR CANNOT DELAY MUCH LONGER

Presently, on the ground in Syria, the situation degrades by the day. Syria's president, Assad, who continues to slaughter his own people, is one of the staunch allies of Iran.

Assad has forewarned the nation of Israel that "Syria will shower Tel Aviv with rockets if attacked by foreign powers"

Therefore, the recent headlines announcing that multiple foreign countries are planning military intervention in Syria, are extremely alarming:

"US, France, UK, Turkey, Italy prepare for military intervention in Syria"

The preceding threat against Israel shows that Assad may launch war against Israel in order to divert the world's attention from himself.  

If other nations/"foreign powers" intervene in what has become civil war in Syria, Assad may make good on his promise to "shower rockets" on Tel Aviv.

This tactic that Assad has threatened would successfully shift the focus from Syria to Israel, by making Israel the new military front.

In response to Assad's threats to shower rockets on Tel Aviv, "Western intelligence sources have reported that Israel reacted  with the warning of its own that 'If a single Syrian missile explodes in Tel Aviv, Damascus will be first to pay the price' ":

These very real threats appear to provide overwhelming evidence why we may soon see "Damascus being the first to pay the price", resulting in the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:

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

Please see this recent entry for more details regarding this last days prophecy, wherein Damascus ceases to be a city and becomes a heap of ruins:

Additionally, both China and Russia are backing Assad and threatening against any interference in Syrian matters. Both of these powerful nations are showing their support of Assad.:

Russia, China reject "interference" in Syria"

Russia, in particular, has been very vocal in its not so veiled threats:

Syria's alliance with Hezbollah and Iran will give good reason for both of these avowed enemies of Israel to join in the attack, protecting their ally. 

Of course, they are fully aware that any act of self-defense by Israel will still cause the entire world to view Israel as being at fault.

They have long been waiting for justification to attack Israel, who they hate with an everlasting hatred that goes back thousands of years.

Back two years ago, Syria joined with Hezbollah and Iran, forming an alliance with the goal of destroying Israel.

Ever since, they have all been militarily fortifying themselves for this soon coming conflict. 

If superpowers nations such as China and Russia make good on their threats to defend Assad, and Israel's menacing Arab enemies jump in the fray, a world war like no other will ensue.

Important to note is that Israel is literally surrounded with Goliath-sized neighbors, who want nothing less than her total annihilation.

Due to these very real threats, Israel has adopted a defense strategy that should make her enemies think twice before carrying out their desires "to wipe Israel off the map".

This strategy of self-preservation is called the Samson Option. It is an "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

 
In essence, the Samson Option is a serious caution to Israel's many enemies. This sends a loud and clear message that if Israel is attacked with any weapon of mass destruction (WMD), that it would result in mutually assured destruction because Israel would immediately respond to any such attack, in kind, with WMD's against her attacker(s).
 

The "Samson Option" may well explain why in the course of one single evening, Damascus is destroyed:

Isaiah 17:14 In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone!

The entire Mideast grows more unstable and volatile by the day. It is powderkeg, whose fuse has been lit and is burning shorter by the day...

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

OBAMA APPEASES THE MUSLIMS AND TYRANTS WHILE DEMANDING THAT ISRAEL ASSIST IN HER OWN DESTRUCTION!

"Candidly Speaking: Confronting Obama’s Messiah complex "'

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=172101


The following is an exceptional article from the Jerusalem Post which elaborates on Obama's anti-Israel actions and motives. It is quite interesting that their choice of words regarding Obama's bizarre thinking that he is in charge of the entire world and that no one should stand in his way and everyone should succumb to his dictates: MESSIAH complex.

"Intoxicated by his health care victory, it seems the president has decided to take on Netanyahu with his outrageous demands."

"Seemingly intoxicated by Congress’s endorsement of his health care legislation, President Barack Obama appears to have been overcome by a Messiah complex. His actions relating to the Middle East during recent weeks oblige us to face realities about our “unshakable” alliance with the United States."


"Over the past year, Israel has made major concessions to the Palestinians with zero reciprocity. Yet the US president, who seeks to engage and appease tyrants like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Bashar Assad, exploited a bureaucratic bungle over a building zoning permit (for which Israel immediately apologized) as a pretext to ignite a massive crisis. He publicly and repeatedly humiliated the head of the only democratic state in the Middle East".


"Obama demonstrated that, far from being an honest broker, he is forsaking Israel and adopting the most extreme Palestinian demands. Obama not only demanded that Israelis be denied building in their capital, but tried to impose a prohibition on construction in the exclusively Jewish suburbs of east Jerusalem which former US administrations had unequivocally agreed would remain in Israel. Obama was effectively demanding that Netanyahu agree to a division of Jerusalem even before final status talks with the Palestinians were initiated."


"Beyond that, Obama sought to intimidate Netanyahu into signing additional undertakings instantly without even consulting his cabinet. These included: indefinite extension of the settlement freeze; release of thousands of Palestinian terrorists; transfer of additional territory to Palestinian control; commitment to withdraw to the 1967 “Auschwitz borders”; undertaking to discuss all core issues in the indirect negotiations; and easing the blockade against Hamas."

Obama's absurd DEMANDS of :"indefinite extension of the settlement freeze; release of thousands of Palestinian terrorists; transfer of additional territory to Palestinian control; commitment to withdraw to the 1967 “Auschwitz borders”; undertaking to discuss all core issues in the indirect negotiations; and easing the blockade against Hamas." are totally incomprehensible. These demands upon Israel by Obama are a blatant effort by him to force Israel to  facillitate her own demise!




"Obama’s objective was to demonstrate to the Arab League meeting this week in Libya that the US could bludgeon Israel into acquiescing to whatever it demanded. If Israel acceded to these demands, that would represent the opening benchmark for further concessions which Israel would be expected to grant to the Palestinians in the course of the proximity talks. In such circumstances, the Palestinians have every incentive to reject direct negotiations while the US extracts more concessions from Israel on their behalf."


"NO US ally has been treated in such a contemptible manner by an American president. Obama even responds to representatives of rogue states like Libya’s Gaddafi and Venezuela’s Chavez more courteously. US administration press leaks to Israeli media alleging that Netanyahu froze and “panicked” were a cynical ploy to undermine his government. Yet despite the blunders committed by their government, Israelis will rally behind their leaders as they internalize the humiliation to which their prime minister was subjected."


'It now appears that the current crisis was a calculated strategy to orchestrate a public confrontation with Israel."


"Obama recognized that Palestinian intransigence would lead to a breakdown in the proximity talks and that the US public would blame the Palestinians. However, by confronting Netanyahu with outrageous demands which no Israeli government would accept, Obama’s ambition to become more popular in the Muslim world "


"This would be used to justify the US weakening support for Israel at the UN and other international bodies, thereby encouraging the Islamic Council and their acolytes, including the Europeans, to intensify their efforts to delegitimize and transform the Jewish state into a pariah."


"Obama would then be in a position to intervene and demand that Israel accept a US-imposed settlement based on the so-called Saudi peace plan, which he has already enthusiastically endorsed.""


"Beneath the hypocritical facade of concern for Israel’s security, Obama’s brutal anti-Israel onslaught has unleashed dark forces which will embolden the jihadists and other enemies of Israel and fuel the growing waves of anti-Israel hysteria and global anti-Semitism."

Dark forces indeed are involved in this onslaught by Obama. He is deliberately prodding the Jihadists and many enemies of Israel to rouse the pertinacity of their desire to not only destroy Israel but to take all of God's Covenant land given to her.

" Fortunately, the United States is a democracy whose leaders are expected to conduct foreign policies based on morality, and the majority of Americans remain overwhelmingly supportive of Israel. This was exemplified by the exceptionally warm bipartisan welcome extended to Netanyahu by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Republican leader John Boehner. It was reinforced by the letter urging the president to end the dispute signed by over three quarters of the members of Congress."

Never thought I would  EVER say this, but:" Kudos to Nancy Pelosi !"The fact that 3/4 of our Congress still commits to being pro-Israel, may perhaps defelct some of the wrath that historically and Biblically has been wrought upon any of the nations who have sought to harm God's chosen ones.

"But the struggle for the hearts and minds of the American people is not over and this is a battle we must win because ultimately people power will determine US policy."

I'm afraid it is fast coming where the" people power" of the American citizenry is fast fading as we advance towards Obama's goal of tyrannical rule. Thus, we, the people, will be powerless and Obama will dictate every aspect of our lives.

"TO SUCCEED in communicating our position in this complex labyrinth requires more effective direction and better diplomacy than Israel has hitherto displayed. To start, the prime minister must stop equivocating and rally the nation. While seeking consensus, he must also lead and cease reciting false mantras suggesting that the alliance between Israel and the Obama administration remains in place. This only emboldens the White House to intensify its pressure on Israel."


"Netanyahu must act decisively in the diplomatic arena. While avoiding direct or personal confrontations with the president, he must demonstrate that his government policies reflect the consensus of the nation and are morally justified; that the Palestinians are intransigent, refuse to accept a Jewish state in the framework of a two-state solution and continue to promote a culture of death, martyrdom and incitement; that Israel is a democracy and is entitled to some respect from its senior partner and not be treated as a vassal; that behaving shabbily to a long-standing friend like Israel will undermine the standing of the US with all its allies"


"Netanyahu must call on mainstream opposition parties, in particular Kadima, to suspend internecine politics and establish a consensus over issues such as building in Jerusalem and defensible borders."

"He must create a strategic planning committee to communicate the morality of our case and the reciprocal benefits of the alliance to friends of Israel – committed Jews, evangelicals and others."

" Now for the first time American Jews face a president who radiates hostility towards Israel."


"American Jews are a small but influential minority. If they speak up courageously and the American people retain their support for Israel, Obama may still be diverted from his present destructive path. There is every likelihood that they will do so if our government gets its act together."

Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
