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.

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"

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/assad-syria-will-shower-tel-aviv-with-rockets-if-attacked-by-foreign-powers-1.388135

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"

http://www.debka.com/article/21762/

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' ":

http://www.virtualjerusalem.com/news.php?Itemid=4929

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:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/02/last-days-prophecy-that-damascus-shall.html

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"

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57383765/russia-china-reject-interference-in-syria

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

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IRAN_NUCLEAR?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-02-22-17-22-55

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

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."

 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/26/israel-warily-eyes-middle-east-uprisings/#ixzz1HuWbVE2g

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!!

 http://www.slate.com/id/2288928/

^{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!

WORLD WAR 3 IS LOOMING ON THE HORIZON

The blood lust appears to be being stirred up by the recent brilliant move by Israel to give the matter of land concession for "peace" over to her citizenry.

Please see the preceding blog entry regarding the recently enacted National Referendum Law:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/11/middle-east-is-powder-keg-with-short.html

As previously mentioned in the above linked blog entry:

" Israel's enemies may actually contort this new development into an excuse to attack her; saying that Israel proved that she was not interested in ever negotiating for 'peace' ".

As of today, Israel's enemies' are beginning to make bellicose threats, as predicted, in response to this new law. This proves what their actual true intentions have been all along-WAR!

 "Syrian FM warns of war with 'peace evading' Israel"

 "Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem on Friday warned of the consequences that a war with Israel could entail."

"In an interview with Russian newspaper Moscow News, Moallem said "there is no doubt that closing the horizons to peace may lead to a possible war. This option always exists in our region, as Israel usually outrageously evades the commitment to peace."

"I want to stress that a new war will not result in a winner and loser," the Syrian foreign minister added. "Everyone will lose because the existing advanced military technology can cause great damage, even for the side with huge military power."

  http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=196890

 

Important to note is that the capital of Syria is Damascus, which headquarters all the major terrorist organizations. There is a prophecy in Isaiah 17, regarding the fate of Damascus, that has never been fulfilled:

Isaiah 17

Proclamation Against Syria and Israel

 ¹ The burden against Damascus.

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

Noteworthy is the fact that Damascus, Syria is the oldest inhabited city in the history of the world. Therefore, Isaiah 17, wherein Damascus ceases to be a city, is still a future prophetic event. 

With all these fast breaking changes in the Middle East, we may soon be seeing the realization of Isaiah 17:1; in conjunction with the beginning of  the Psalm 83 War. 

If Damascus decides to foolishly attack Israel, it appears that she may soon "cease to be a city".

If only Syria only knew what her war rhetoric may soon bring to her....

 

THE MIDDLE EAST MAY SOON ERUPT INTO WAR-the beginning of the end...

The Middle East is a powder keg with a short fuse. It appears that recent events are pointing to the fuse being lit very soon.

Recent legislation shows that the Mideast "peace" process appears to have reached an impasse as neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis will give on the stumbling block, Jerusalem.

In that day I will make Jerusalem a stumbling block for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth gather against it."  Zechariah 12:3
 

Israel has just recently taken the volatile matter of the "land for peace" negotiations out of the hands of a few politicians and put it into the hands of the people.

The Arab League is avidly denouncing this new move, as is the Palestinian Authority and Syria. These enemies of Israel well know that if the fate of Jerusalem is is up to the citizens of Israel, that their desire to possess Jerusalem will never be come to pass.

"The Arab League on Wednesday condemned Israel's new law requiring a referendum on land concession as "illustrating the aggressive character" of the Israeli government and its "disregard for international law."Israel "continues to place obstacle after obstacle to harm efforts to renew the peace process," Deputy Arab League chief Ahmed Hali said." 

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/arab-league-referendum-law-proves-israel-s-aggressive-nature-1.326591

"The Arab League on Wednesday chimed in with its reaction to Monday's Knesset passing of Israel's National Referendum Law, requiring the approval of 80 MKs or a national referendum before any Israeli withdrawal from east Jerusalem or the Golan Heights.

Calling it a "provocation," a spokesman for the League's secretary-general's office said that law undermined the peace process and efforts to reach an agreement."

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=196628

Imperative to note is the fact that the Arab League called Israel's new stance a "provocation". 

This new law may be the tipping point that finally provokes the many enemies of Israel to attack her. They have been preparing militarily for such an attack for months. 

Probably the only reason they have restrained themselves thus far is because they were depending on either Obama or the UN to demand that Israel comply and unilaterally disengage. Their ultimate goal is to carve Israel into a much smaller Israel with indefensible borders. 

Therefore, their primary objective is to remove Israel from being a nation. So, a barrage of missiles towards the civilian populations of Israel is planned regardless of how much land Israel is willing to give in exchange for "peace".

Psalm 83:4"Come," they say, "let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence."

These Muslim neighbors are aware that at least while the decision to give away Jerusalem was in the hands of select few, there was still a chance that the Obama administration could possibly arm-twist Prime Minister Netanyahu behind the scenes.

These Arab enemies appear to be cognizant that this prospect of Israel being coerced into just releasing Jerusalem into their hands is now fading fast with this new legislation requiring a referendum vote. 

If a super majority in the Knesset (the Israeli legislative body) cannot be reached, then the citizens of Israel will cast the deciding vote.

In the Knesset, the recent passage in favor of this controversial new law was 65 to 33 . It is therefore conceivable that a similar ratio would be reached in the Knesset against conceding Israel's Covenant land to the Palestinians. In this instance, the decision would then land in the hands of the Jewish people.

This clever new legislation by Israel, combined with her previous proven determination that dividing Jerusalem was not on the table and would never be, is proving to the Palestinians and all of their allies that Jerusalem will never be willfully given up to them.

 "The Israelis want to tell the whole world that they will not withdraw from Jerusalem or the Golan," Abbas told reporters on Tuesday at the opening of the new headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Ramallah."

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=196628

 "The statement also said that the law is designed for "those that still under the illusion that the Israeli government is interested in peace."

Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat on Monday slammed the Knesset's decision and reiterated the sentiments put forward by Syria and said that "with the passage of this bill, the Israeli leadership, yet again, is making a mockery of international law"

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=196463

Israel's enemies may actually contort this new development as an excuse to attack her; saying that Israel proved that she was not interested in ever negotiating for"peace":

"  the  law is designed for those that still under the illusion that the Israeli government is interested in peace."  

They are no doubt fully aware that the Obama Administration can no longer force Israel's hand with coaxing or threats as it is not up to the leadership anymore, but to the population of Israel.

Previously, the United Nations had proposed setting a deadline for a Mideast "peace treaty". The UN had also formulated that if upon the set date no treaty is negotiated; that the United Nations will decide the terms of the treaty. In other words, the United Nations will tell Israel what to do.

"Calling for a return to Israel's borders before the 1967 war in which it occupied the West Bank, Gaza, and other territory, Solana said mediators should set a timetable for a final peace agreement, according to the report.

"If the parties are not able to stick to it (the timetable), then a solution backed by the international community should be put on the table," he said, as quoted by Reuters."  

http://www.palestine-pmc.com/details.asp?cat=1&id=2626

Eventually(if not already), those who despise and oppose Israel may conclude that Israel will also defy the UN's efforts to give away her promised land; just as she has refused to "cave" to the demands of the the United States.

If the United Nations attempts to dictate its will upon Israel then Israel, as a sovereign nation,  has the right to resist. Israel has proven to the international community that she has the steadfastness and wherewithal to do so.

With this realization, Israel's enemies may finally conceptualize the fact the Jerusalem will never be given to them on a silver platter and that they will have to forcefully take it by military conflict if they want it.

These many enemies of Israel who have attacked her seven times since her miraculous rebirth in 1948, have many millennia of hatred seething beneath the surface and would not think twice about attacking Israel yet once again.

This hatred runs so deep that these Arab countries' goal is not just to take Israel's land, but they want the very demise of the Jewish people. 

Therefore, a military assault on Israel may actually be seen as achieving both of their goals at the same time.

The recent confrontation between North Korea and South Korea may well be an impetus that will encourage the Arab nations to spring to action. 

If further confrontations ensue, it may be seen as perfect timing as America, as South Korea's ally, would be occupied and unable to come to Israel's aid.

This future military conflict between Israel and her neighbors is predicted in the Word of God and will be the fulfillment of Psalm 83. 

The Psalm 83 War is not a matter of if, but when and as evidenced by all the recent news, "when" appears to be extremely soon.

For details of the coming Psalm 83 War, please see this previous entry:


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

When the fuse is finally lit in the Middle East and the powder keg explodes, we can anticipate that  surely the Lord's return is very soon.

Israel's is God's prophetic timepiece and the initiation of the Psalm 83 war may well be the event that starts the Tribulation clock to ticking.

Until then, may we pray for God's chosen people as well as for the many other lives that will be lost during this soon coming prophesied war.

PSALM 122:6 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM

WORLD WAR 3 LOOMS NEAR

Looks like the Psalm 83 War, which would equate to World War 3, is soon to erupt. 

Iran's allies; Syria, Hezbollah of Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza are heavily armed and have been excitedly waiting to jump into the fray when Israel is forced to preemptively strike Iran's nuclear facilities.

Time is almost out for Israel to safely and effectively do so. Former Bush administration U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton is warning that Russia's "Loading of Nuke Fuel Into Iran Plant Means Aug. 21 Deadline for Israeli Attack".

"News that Russia will load nuclear fuel rods into an Iranian reactor has touched off a countdown to a point of no return, a deadline by which Israel would have to launch an attack on Iran's Bushehr reactor before it becomes effectively "immune" to any assault, says former Bush administration U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton.

Once the fuel rods are loaded, Bolton told Fox News on Friday afternoon, "it makes it essentially immune from attack by Israel. Because once the rods are in the reactor an attack on the reactor risks spreading radiation in the air, and perhaps into the water of the Persian Gulf." 

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/John--Bolton--Iran--Nuclear--israel/2010/08/13/id/367449 

Please see the previous blog entry for the details and end results concerning this soon coming war:

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

We need to pray for the protection of God's chosen people as well as for the many unsaved souls in the Middle East, that may soon be facing eternity.

THERE IS "NO CHANCE OF PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST" (UNTIL THE PSALM 83 WAR THAT IS)

The prime minister of Syria is correct in his awareness that there is no chance of peace in the Middle East and that "The conflict with Israel will always exist".

That is, until the Psalm 83 War when Israel will victoriously regain much of her Covenant land and defeat her neighboring enemies and there will be a temporary peace.

Please see previous entry for the details of the upcoming Psalm 83 War:

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

"Syrian PM dismisses chances of Middle East peace

 Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Naji Otri dismissed the chances of peace ever being achieved in the Middle East in an interview with Syrian media.  "The conflict with Israel will always exist," said Otri in a report cited by the online website of Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar on Friday.  He also praised the conduct of the Lebanese Armed Forces in the border exchange that left one IDF soldier, three Lebanese soldiers and one Lebanese journalist dead."

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=184726

What Prime Minister Orti however, is not aware of is that due to the terrorist backing that his country, Syria, provides in their enmity against Israel, that one day their seat of government, Damascus, will be decimated. 

Please note that many of of the major terrorist organizations are headquartered in Damascus. These include Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Hezbollah and other extremist groups whose main mission is to destroy Israel and terrorize Israeli citizens.

Therefore, it is easy to conceptualize the reason behind the soon prophetic fulfillment of Isaiah 17: 

Isaiah 17 ¹ The burden against Damascus.  

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

WE HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN-NOTHING IS SUSTAINABLE ON THIS PATH TOWARDS THE END OF THE AGE!

Our world has started down a path where NOTHING is sustainable and we have already passed the point of no return.


Just sharing today's rundown on the manifestation of this, in the world situation, as linked below:

"North and South Korea situation

Apparent conclusive evidence that a N. Korea torpedo sunk S. Korean ship. North cuts communication with South. S. cuts off all trade with N. Today, S. Korea launched a major exercise with 10 warships."

If South Korea looks at them the "wrong way", North Korea is ready to declare war.

What will Kim Jong II contemplate now that South Korea has boldly cut off trade with them while launching "a major exercise with 10 WARships"??


"The Katla volcano
Continues being fickle under the ice glacier while occasionally stumbling an earthquake to keep our attention." 


History indicates that Katla ALWAYS follows suit when her smaller neighbor, Eyjafjallajokull erupts. Please see the below linked blog entries for details:

"BP Oil Eruption
5,000 feet underwater, at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP is currently making a new attempt at plugging the underwater gusher which is spewing about 1 Million gallons per day (60% chance of success)..."

It has been commented that there may be a "river of oil" beneath the seabed. So, this daily gush of millions of gallons of oil may continue unabated.


Meanwhile, Obama continues to sit on his hands as far as any action to stop the flow or even any real attempts at major clean up. Each day that this is allowed to continue, brings us closer to the potential for global oceanic devastation.

We can easily see that the labor has begun, so things will only continue to worsen as do birth pains:

Matthew 24:3....."Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. 6You 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. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

WHAT IS THE PSALM 83 WAR?? HERE ARE THE DETAILS!!

THE MIDDLE EAST IS HEATING UP AS THE PSALM 83 WAR THAT HAS BEEN BREWING IS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BOILING OVER!

The following is an analysis regarding the upcoming Psalm 83 War that was written back in February of this year. It was included in an even larger expose' regarding the fulfillment of the multifarious signs of the end times that are coming to pass before our eyes.

For the entire study from February from which this was taken, please see this link:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-is-world-spinning-out-of-control.html

After many years of studying Bible prophecy, God finally laid it upon my heart that it was time to share the many facts evidencing that His Word is now being fulfilled.

The upcoming Psalm 83 War is just one arena in the multitude of current world events which are all aligning perfectly with Biblical prophecy showing that the end of the age is fast approaching.

Since February, there have been so many more overtures by Israel's vast array of enemies that prove that war is not only inevitable but is forthcoming in the very near future.

Please note that ALL the nationalities listed in the below Psalm 83 alliance are the EXACT neighboring enemies of Israel who are at present, 

warning Israel of their intentions to destroy her and of whose preparations to come against Israel are dominating the headlines.

I plan on one of my next blog entries being a compilation of the various current Mideast events that are a prelude to this soon coming War. Each new day brings serious threats and news of military advancements propelling us towards the Psalm 83 War.

Important to realize is that as the following article relates that as of today, April 6, 2010, national distribution of gas masks begins in Israel to protect their citizenry from the upcoming threat of bombardment with chemical and biological missiles by their multitude of foes:

"For the first time, the Post Office will, upon request and for a fee, distribute gas mask kits directly to people's homes."

"The IDF Home Front Command and Israel Postal Company Ltd. today began a nationwide distribution of gas masks by courier to people's homes and by pick-up at distribution points. The distribution comes after a trial distribution several weeks ago in Kiryat Ono. A TV information campaign will be launched tonight to encourage people to obtain the gas mask kits, followed by billboard campaigns."

We really need to be keeping the people of tiny Israel in our prayers as they are like the Biblical young and small David facing the huge, menacing Goliaths that surround them!

Psalm 83 Analysis from February 2010:


There are so many amazing details that I felt necessary to include to properly set the stage for where we are in God's end time plan. Please remember that this is strictly my interpretation from Biblical prophecy as it aligns with current events.


Now, we will delve into an astounding new insight that has just recently come out in regards to the Psalm 83 war against Israel. As  previously mentioned, I believe that God may actually allowed this to be revealed now, right before the time it will come to pass.


Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.


Of course, we know that in today's world that many rush here and there with our modern transportation and technology. It is a well known fact that knowledge is increasing exponentially so we know that this has to pertain to the here and now of our modern era.


In order to fully understand the following information concerning the coming Mideast War please see and study the below detailed website that explains how it appears that there will be a Psalm 83 war in which Israel regains most of her original Covenant land after decimating Syria and the other members of the Psalm 83 coalition-


http://www.arewelivinginthelastdays.com/road/mewar.html


This war may also be the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 The burden against Damascus- Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.


Please note the Damascus is the oldest, inhabited city in the history of the world.


It has been appearing for awhile as though Israel and Iran would go to war because of Iran's nuclear development. According to previous understanding of end times events, the war of Gog of Magog (Ezekiel 38 and 39) would ensue as a result of this conflict somehow.


Ezekiel 38:11 "And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates"


Eschatologists (those who study Biblical prophecy regarding end time events) have long puzzled at how Gog -Magog War could occur however due to the Ezekiel 38:11 reference to Israel being at peace and without walls when they are attacked by Gog of Magog.


Realizing now that there may soon be a coming Psalm 83 war, it is all evident now what may transpire. As a result of the Psalm 83 War, victorious Israel will no longer be bordered by her enemies as she will own all the land.


Israel will then finally be at peace which has never happened since her inception in 1948. Therefore, the 403 mile wall that Israel has built in recent years to keep out the Palestinian terrorists, will no longer be needed. Israel will finally be dwelling safely and at rest, without the need for walls.


The end result of this Psalm 83 War, wherein Israel is finally dwelling peacefully, makes way for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39 War (Gog-Magog).


Please keep in mind the players in the Psalm 83 war in relation to current Mideast events:


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


Note that Syria and Israel have been spouting war rhetoric for weeks now. From my understanding, Syria and Iran made a pact to be allies against Israel in any military conflict around one year ago. The following link is of recent threats from Syria towards Israel as of February 22, 2010.


http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2010/mercer223-1.htm.


There are recent "reports that Lebanon was blasting large areas of rock near the Lebanese-Syrian border to build a staging area for the deployment of Syrian tanks, presumably in preparation of Syria getting involved in what we can be sure is on the horizon, another military conflict between Israel and her enemies." So, at present, there is great tension with both Lebanon and Syria, in alliance with Iran, toward Israel.


http://www.rapturealert.com/2010/022010ruinous.asp


As of February 26, 2010 Syrian President Bashar Assad hosted Hezbollah head, Hassan Nasrallah as well as Iranian leader Ahmadinajad for dinner in Damascus on Thursday night. The trio of terror-supporting leaders denounced Israel and America and discussed ways to aid “resistance groups.” This said aid is intended to go to the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, who now controls the government of Gaza.


 As of February 21, 2010 It was reported that "Iran steps up training of the Hamas retaliation force. Iran has increased exponentially its training of Hamas gunmen both in the Gaza Strip and abroad, a senior Egyptian security official told WND."


The official said "Iran believes there will be a confrontation with Israel this year over Tehran's nuclear facilities and has thus stepped up training of Hamas, whose gunmen will be instrumental in carrying out retaliatory attacks against the Jewish state during any future war. "

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/136220


Note that both Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians (Hamas of Gaza) are in the Psalm 83 coalition. Egypt and Jordan who are also listed in the alliance would probably join into the fray once the conflict begins.


Notable is that Syria, who now has the pact with Iran to go against Israel is now saying: "If Israel Attacks Iran, Syria Is Likely to Fire Tens of Thousands of Missiles at Israel, Some with Chemical and Biological Warheads."


http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2457079/posts


So, according to this threat, Israel will be attacked with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) from Syria if Israel strikes any of Iran's nuclear sites. As named after Samson in the Bible wherein he killed himself in destroying 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.


This means Syria would be utterly destroyed if they attack Israel with WMD's and Damascus, the oldest inhabited city in the history of the world would be a "ruinous heap". Damascus is the headquarters for the major terrorist organizations. That in itself is sufficient cause for the fulfillment of Isaiah 17.


Likely scenario- Israel does a pre-emptive strike against Iran in light of the fact of their recent admittance to being a "nuclear nation". As Iran's ally, Syria begins strikes against Israel as they are threatening to do above. Israel would then be forced into the Samson Option because of Syria's use of WMD.


In 2007, Israel had bombed Syria's nuclear plant in order to prevent Syria from gaining nuclear weapons. Israel knew Syria would use it against her as soon as the weapon was completed (as will Iran). Sometime in the last month there has been intelligence that North Korea has begun military shipments to Syria. So, Israel is also aware that Syria is probably restarting her nuclear program with the aid of North Korea.


http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/181252


On February 24, 2010, an Iranian website threatened that "Iran's possession of nuclear weapons will threaten Israel's existence and lead to its elimination - even if they are 'never used" This is very ominous- is Iran indicating that Israel will be “eliminated”" but not by Iran's WMD, but by Iran's allies: Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinians and the other Psalm 83 members?


http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/181252


Iran said on February 22, 2010 that "it plans to build two new uranium enrichment facilities deep inside mountains to protect them from attack" This may be Iran's attempt to incite Israel to take action while the nuclear targets are penetrable.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35520698/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/


As of February 25, 2010, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Arab nations will usher in a new Middle East "without Zionists and without colonialists. He also said Iran, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon will stand against Israel. This sounds as if the Arab nations are in definite collusion to destroy Israel and are trying to prod her to initiate the first strike.


http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=169632


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. From Psalm 83:1-8 it is evident that these 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


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, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and "others among the Iranian leadership believe that they are setting up the great cataclysm which will bring about the return of the Mahdi", their Messiah.


"During a speech in Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly stated that his primary purpose in life is to "pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi, may Allah hasten his reappearance."


http://signsofthelastdays.com/archives/does-iran-actually-want-a-war-with-israel-so-that-the-mahdi-can-return


It thus appears as though Iran is deliberately taunting Israel in an effort to bring about the cataclysmic return of their Mahdi.


An article just now out on February 28, 2010, reports that "Iran recently moved almost its entire stockpile of low-enriched uranium to an above-ground facility" and that "Teheran's strange move is akin to painting bull's-eye on stockpile." There are several hypotheses raised by the New York Times such as "Iran may be taunting Israel to attack..."


Earlier, I speculated upon my personal theories that Iran is intentionally goading Israel to attack in order to: 1) Bring about the return of their Mahdi/Messiah 2) Open the door for Syria and Hezbollah of Lebanon and the Palestinians (Hamas) to attack Israel in Iran's defense as they all desire "to cut them off from being a nation." In this manner, Syria and Lebanon and the Palestinians can justify attacking Israel saying they have provocation as Iran's defenders.


http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=169774


Back to Psalm 83 war-after the Psalm 83 war, the anti-Zionist countries of the world would probably be reeling with hatred towards Israel at the carnage. They hate Israel anyway so this would really inflame them especially if Israel was to take the land of her conquered enemies (especially Saudi Arabia's oil rich land).


 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 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 would never agree to anything less than ALL of Israel and it’s total destruction and tiny Israel cannot afford to give away much more land. 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 would be a moot point.


Israel has never been more alone than with Obama as president with his anti-Israeli policies. It is clear from current government policies that America is headed toward becoming a socialist nation and thus will remain against Israel.


God cannot and will not allow Israel to be destroyed and will not allow His land to be given away. We are now at the precipice of the entire world and Obama strong-arming Israel to give away more land and divide Jerusalem. Up to this point, America has enjoyed God’s blessings because of our support for Israel.


The current administration’s anti-Israel stance does not bode well for America as God warned that He would curse whoever would curse Israel:


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."


God cannot stand for His Holy city of Jerusalem to be divided. That is another reason why everything is coming to a head as the world (including America) is pressuring Israel to divide Jerusalem with the Palestinians. He will not allow this and that is why I am convinced that we are on the advent of the Psalm 83 War.


The antichrist’s “covenant with many” has to be an agreement already in place as it is going to be "confirmed". It cannot be the Oslo Accords (which really only favored the Palestinians anyway).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords


The 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 will 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 .


Most of the nations of the world are full of anti-Semitism and only America has been a true ally to Israel (pre-Obama that is). When Israel defeats her many adversaries and victoriously wins much/most of her Abrahamic Covenant land back the nations of the world who hate Israel with a consuming and raging hatred will vehemently protest her mass acqusition of her covenant land.


It is my perception 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 from the Psalm 83 war. He may even acknowledge the fact that this land is actually God's covenant land given to Israel and thus confirm the convenant (God's covenant) with many.


Since the antichrist figure would be instrumental in Israel being able to retain and redeem her covenant land it will 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."


In Judaism, they believe their coming Messiah is mandated to bring the world into alignment with the word of God so if/when the antichrist protects Israel's right to redeem God's covenant land, he would be viewed as their long-awaited Messiah.


Also, since Israel would then own the land, then the 3rd Temple can be rebuilt as they are completely ready to do so. The Temple Mount Faithful have duplicated all of the articles of the Temple which have been prepared according to God's instructions in Exodous.


According to the below, the revealing of the antichrist which I project it would be evident who he is, by his role in confirming the  above ”covenant, with many", will be after the Rapture.


2 Thessalonians 2:6-8a".. 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 "


Once the Rapture of the Church occurs, the normal restraining power of the Holy Spirit is "taken out of the way". Notice that this Scripture does not say the Holy Spirit is removed from this world, only that His restraining power is "taken out of the way".


Therefore, it would appear that the Rapture of the Church will be sometime after Psalm 83 war, if not before. If we are still here after this war, then the Rapture would not be far off according to the above interpretation of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8.


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


Even though Obama is presently 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 regaining her covenant land.


If not Obama, there will be someone who could come and broker and confirm this covenant allowing Israel to redeem the rest of her covenant land. So, the antichrist should be revealed after the Psalm 83 war, whoever he may be.


I theorize that after Iran recovers and regroups from any strikes from Israel that they will, in retaliation, join with Russia and the other countries of the Gog-Magog alliance who are coming "to take a spOIL!".


Israel would have the land and the oil! Also, Israel will then be at peace when they are invaded by Gog of Magog due to her victory in the Psalm 83 War.


Gog Magog Coalition:


Magog, Rosh = Russia and the former Soviet republics


Persia = Iran


Cush = Sudan, Ethiopia, and Possibly Eritrea


Put = Libya, Algeria, and Tunisa


Gomer, Meshech, and Tubal = Turkey (and possibly Germany and Austria)


Beth-togarmah = Turkey, Armenia, and the Turkish-speaking people of people of Asia Minor and Central Asia.


Of course, I am not certain that these presumptions are 100% correct but I feel confident that at least some will come to pass as all the puzzle pieces seem to be fitting so perfectly in place. The Middle East bears watching as at this point, it appears headed in this direction.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
If these events that I have proposed start coming to pass then their prophetic fulfillment can be used to lead others to Christ. Biblical prophecy is simply history written in advance and fulfilled prophecy is one of the best evidences that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. God gave us His prophetic Word so that all would know He is God!


Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:


As such, the Psalm 83 war appears to be looming VERY CLOSE! We need to keep a close eye Israel as the “the wars and rumors of wars” in the Mideast seem to be gaining momentum daily.


The Mideast is a powder keg and it's about to explode (literally) ! We need to be about the Father's business, as the Son is returning soon! We need to separating from the temporal and focusing on the eternal! "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.... And the world passeth away...." 1 John 2:15-17


Some eschatologists conclude that the Rapture may be pre-wrath instead of pre-Tribulation meaning that the return of Jesus may be well into the Tribulation period, occuring at the opening of the Sixth Seal in the book of Revelation:


Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


My personal view is that the Rapture of those, who have readied themselves for the coming of the Lord, will occur before the Tribulation begins as per my preceding perspective regarding the events of the Psalm 83 War. 


There is, of course, a chance that the Rapture may could be pre-wrath, but I'm still  hopeful and-praying for a pre-Trib! Either way, we have to be ready, strong in the Lord and be overcomers!


It is now time to start loosening our grips on the great multitude of worldly distractions and focus on GOD as we see the signs of the times are BLARING! WE NEED TO BE PREPARED either for the Rapture or to be able to endure till He comes!!


May we continue to watch and pray as we are instructed in Luke 21:36-


Luke 21:36 Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape the wrath to come, and to stand before the Son of man.
