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: 

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/03/are-they-trying-to-instigate-psalm-war.html

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!

IRAN PLANS TO DEFY ISRAEL'S NAVAL BLOCKADE OF GAZA TO INCITE ISRAEL INTO WHAT WILL BE THE PSALM 83 WAR~

 Today's Mideast news articles further prove that the full intentions of Iran sending two Red Crescent ships to Gaza is solely to break the blockade and to provoke Israel into war.

Please see yesterday's blog entry entitled: IRAN IS ATTEMPTING TO INSTIGATE THE PSALM 83 WAR BY SENDING TWO RED CRESCENT SHIPS TO BRAZENLY DEFY ISRAEL'S NAVAL BLOCKADE OF THE GAZA STRIP for the details on the planned voyage of these Red Crescent ships to Gaza:

 http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/06/iran-is-attempting-to-instigate-psalm.html

Please note that Israel addresses any ships supposedly carrying "humanitarian aid"  to Gaza and invites them to dock at the Ashdod Port. 

The IDF then unloads the cargo while inspecting it and will then reload it and transport it over the formal land routes to Gaza, under the observation of those bringing it.

Therefore, any true humanitarian aid brought by ships is delivered to Gaza by Israel. As such, there is no reason to "break the blockade" other than to defy Israel and prod them into a military response:

"Iranian official: Its important to break the Gaza blockade"

"The Iranian parliament is interested in sending a humanitarian mission with aid to Gaza, Iranian National Security Committee chairman Ala Al-Din Boroujerdi said Tuesday according to the Fars news agency.

"The most important thing today is to break the Gaza blockade and send the residents there humanitarian aid,"  Boroujerdi said."

 "Iran's Revolutionary Guard Ready to Escort Gaza-Bound Ships"

 

"Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is ready to provide military escorts to ships attempting to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, a senior official said Sunday. Leading Islamic countries, meanwhile, are suggesting a range of responses to last week’s deadly maritime clash between Israeli troops and pro-Palestinian activists.
 
“The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy is ready to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenseless and oppressed people of Gaza with all its strength,” Ali Shirazi, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s representative to the IRGC, told the Mehr news agency."

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/67189

"Ahmadinejad: Flotilla raid death knell for 'Zionist regime'"

" The Israeli attack on the Gaza-bound flotilla sounded the death knell of the “Zionist regime,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an enthusiastic crowd at Istanbul's  Abou Ayyoub Ansari Mosque, IRNA reported Tuesday.

He accused Israel of “unmatched crimes in the course of sixty some years of its history, that have been unprecedented in the history of mankind, the last of which has been invading the Gaza Peace Flotilla,” in his words.

Ahmadinejad was in Turkey for the summit of a 20-member group of Asian countries – CICA – at which Turkey intended to propose a resolution condemning Israel's flotilla raid."

 http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=177806

If Iran's Revolutionary Guard does indeed "escort" the Gaza-bound Iranian ships then the end result will have to be a military conflict as Israel cannot allow this to happen.

Ahmadinejad's statement," Flotilla raid death knell for 'Zionist regime'"clearly infers that this is exactly what Iran is plotting. 

The defiance of the blockade is in order for Israel's enemies to declare war against her while making it appear as though Israel is the instigator.

 

Noteworthy is the fact that "Leading Islamic countries, meanwhile, are suggesting a range of responses to last week’s deadly maritime clash between Israeli troops and pro-Palestinian activists."

Their "range of responses" may well include the use of the advanced weaponry that they have all been stockpiling for the explicit purpose of destoying Israel. 

What they don't realize is that the God of Israel has already foretold the outcome of their endeavor to decimate Israel and it is dismal for them:

Ezekiel 28:24-26
24 No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. 25 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.

Ezekiel 25:13-14
Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan [Saudi Arabia] they will fall by the sword. I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel [Israeli Defense Force IDF], and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign LORD.

 

IRAN IS ATTEMPTING TO INSTIGATE THE PSALM 83 WAR BY SENDING TWO RED CRESCENT SHIPS TO BRAZENLY DEFY ISRAEL'S NAVAL BLOCKADE OF THE GAZA STRIP!

Plain and simple-Israel's enemies who have been tirelessly arming themselves to the teeth are now ready to launch their attack.

In 1948, 1967, 1968, 1973, 1982 and 2006 Israel's mortal enemies attacked her with a vengeance, in their desire to annihilate tiny Israel. The hand of God was on His chosen people protecting them then, preventing their destruction.

As we know from the Psalm 83 prophecy, God's mighty hand will once again protect the children of Israel from the forthcoming Psalm 83 War.

Today, in our age of political correctness, these foes of Israel now realize they cannot just launch an all out attack without some justification(other than their hatred).

Therefore, the recent Turkish flotilla incident was nothing but a set up to garner world sentiment against Israel. The below video evidences that the flotilla's true mission upon which they were embarking was to provoke Israel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3L7OV414Kk

Note that towards the end of the video, a female participant states the following: 

"Right now we face one of two happy endings: either Martyrdom, or reaching Gaza."

This is a summation of the ship's true objective of baiting Israel as their real purpose was of jihad. 

Please see the blog entry link for further details of the Turkish flotilla "attack":

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/psalm-war-is-about-to-erupt-in-middle.html

It is clear that Iran's intention to send Red Crescent ships (the Muslim version of the Red Cross)is to break the blockade under the guise of sending humanitarian aid with the real purpose being an attempt to cause confrontation with Israel:

Iranian Red Crescent to send two ships to Gaza

 The Iranian Red Crescent is planning to send two ships to Gaza this week, it was announced on Monday.

AFP quoted Red Crescent director for international affairs Abdolrauf Adibzadeh as saying: "One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by end of this week."

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=177712 

The current worldwide condemnation of Israel would reach a fevered pitch if there was any conflict between Israel and a ship bearing the Red Crescent logo.

Iran realizes this and that is their purpose-to gain worldwide backing so they can attack  claiming provocation by Israel. 

Therefore, if Israel is forced to use any military force in insuring that the Gaza aid that these Iranian ships are transporting is not in the form of military contraband and weaponry, Iran will cry that it is an "act of war".

   

   

This would be the excuse (with worldwide support) that Iran uses to launch war against Israel. Of course, any retaliation by Israel would give all of Iran's allies in the region reason to join in the fray.

These surrounding anti-Zionist nations are like salivating wolves perched to pounce on their prey. They are now fully militarily prepared and are just waiting for an excuse to attack Israel. These Gaza-bound Iranian ships appears to be just that.

Please bear in mind that the alliance of the Psalm 83 War are the exact same enemies that are now condemning and/or threatening Israel:

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

THE MIDDLE EAST IS HEATING UP FOR THE PSALM 83 WAR! THIS WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE WORLD WAR THREE!!

In Damascus, Syria, tens of thousands of Syrians and Palestinians vehemently protested Israel's building of"settlements" in her own captial, Jerusalem.

Obama's strong anti-Israel stance and demand that Israel cease the legal building of housing in Jerusalem (as it impedes his plans to divide Jerusalem) has only served to rally and embolden these neighboring blood-thirsty enemies of Israel who want nothing less that the annihilation of the Jewish people.

This is all leading to the final fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1:

Isaiah 17 :1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Notable is the fact that Damascus is the oldest, inhabited city in the history of the world so this prophecy has never been fulfilled. However, we can see everything lining up for Damascus, one day soon, to cease to be a city. 

The very fact that most of the major terrorist organizations are headquartered in Damascus is like a bullseye has been painted on Damascus.

DAMASCUS, Syria – Tens of thousands of Syrians and Palestinians have gathered in a Damascus square in a government-orchestrated "march of anger" against Israeli settlements in east Jerusalem.

The crowd at the central Youssel al-Azmi square waved Syrian and Palestinian flags and pictures of Hamas leaders as they shouted anti-Israel slogans Friday.


Senior Hamas official Mohammed Nazzal condemned what he called Israel's "brutal aggression" on holy sites.
The U.S. and Arab countries want Israel to stop building Jewish homes in east Jerusalem — the section of the city that Palestinians want as the capital of a future state.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses, saying the entire holy city must remain Israel's eternal capital.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100326/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_syria_israel


Residents of south Israel fear another war brewing

"Communities surrounding Gaza say death of two soldiers in Gaza Friday, along with continuous rocket fire, may be sign full-blown military conflict nearing. 'We don’t deserve to live like this,' Kfar Aza resident says."

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3868767,00.html

The tensions are clearly increasing as the the looming Psalm 83 War draws nearer. Gaza is already bombarding Jewish communities with rocket fire which will will eventually have to be dealt with and which many Israeli's fear will  lead to "full-blown military conflict".

Obama's recent abhorrent behavior towards Israel as well as the Aministration's chastisement of Israel for having "the nerve" to build Jewish housing in her own legal capital, evidences that Obama will no longer allow America to be Israel's ally. 

The reason that Obama is applying constant pressure on Israel regarding her decision to continue to build Jewish housing (termed "settlements" by Obama) is because he intends to divide Jerusalem and east Jerusalem is the area that he intends to give away to the Palestinians.

This CANNOT be allowed as Jerusalem is God's Holy City and given only to His children of Israel. As such, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to negotiate any divison saying," the entire holy city must remain Israel's eternal capital."We Might Need to Retake Gaza, Destroy Hamas

'Minister Yuval Steinitz of Likud warned Sunday that Israel may be forced to retake control of Gaza and topple the Hamas regime. In an interview with goverment-run Voice of Israel Radio, Steinitz said that Israel “will not tolerate” Hamas's growing rocket arsenal.

The minister's warning came two days after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a clash with terrorists in Gaza. Gaza terrorists have increased the frequency of their rocket attacks on southern Israel in recent weeks; several days ago, a rocket killed a Thai worker on a kibbutz [communal settlement].


Steinitz also discussed the United States's pressure on Israel regarding housing for Jews in Jerusalem. America's criticism of Israel is not advancing peace, but rather, is having the opposite effect, he stated.


Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has already made two significant gestures to the Palestinian Authority, by freezing construction for Jews in Judea and Samaria and by working to improve the PA economy, Steinitz said. By continuing to pressure Israel, the US is giving the impression that it is less friendly to Israel than it was in the past, which encourages the PA to up its demands, he explained."

If tens of thousands are angrily protesting Israel's LEGAL building of Jewish housing in her own capital just think what these deranged people will do if Israel "RETAKES GAZA" and "DESTROYS HAMAS". Hamas is the major terrorist organization which is currently the governing authority over Gaza, that has almost evolved into an anarchy,

Basically, not only is Israel NOT giving away part of of her Holy City, but instead they may actually take back the land of Gaza that has been under the Palestinians's rule since 1994~

This, in and of itself, could ignite the Psalm 83 War/World War Three. There are many other enemy fronts that have been arming themselves "to the teeth" and all are poised like salivating wolves, ready to pounce on their prey-tiny Israel.

This multitude of nations that desire to "wipe Israel off the map" do not realize that the minute nation of Israel has the Great God of Israel as her protector. Furthermore, they are completely unaware that these current events were prophesied thousands of years ago so we know the ending:  Israel will prevail!

 Zechariah 12: 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the LORD. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.'
