DEBKAfile has the following headline in really red, really bold lettering:

Conspiracy of silence over four Iranian nuclear-capable missile tests
"This was the last straw – at least for the British government. Hague in consultation with Prime Minister David Cameron went public about what Iran was really up to with a statement to parliament."

Interestingly, world leaders, who knew about these tests since October 2010, will sit on their hands and do nothing practical about Iran. That's why I keep referring to an Armageddon scenario occurring in our lifetimes, much sooner than most think: Iran attacking Israel, in a Gog u Magog fashion. And we all know how Ezekiel 38 ends, right?

²¹ I will summon the sword against you on all the hills of Israel, says the Sovereign Lord. Your men will turn their swords against each other. ²² I will punish you and your armies with disease and bloodshed; I will send torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur! ²³ In this way, I will show my greatness and holiness, and I will make myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

 Sounds like the last war before Jesus reigns to me.

Juppe: Flotilla a bad idea
"...activists were blowing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza out of proportion, saying that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip do not lack basic supplies. According to Gantz, Gazans are 'importing televisions and plasma screens, and exporting agricultural products to the entire Arab world.'"

DEBKAfile, Iran tests missiles for hitting Israel, US bases
"Tuesday, June 28, Day Two of the Great Prophet Mohammad War Games 6, Iran made a point of flexing muscle in the direction of the United States and Israel. After simultaneously test-firing 14 2,000-range missiles at a single target, Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division, emphasized: 'Iranian missiles can target US bases in Afghanistan and any part of Israeli territory.'"

The peace of Islam strikes again

60 dead in Afghan hospital bombing
The brazen suicide attack in Logar province, just south of the capital Kabul, killed women and children and was described as "unprecedented" in the history of the near-decade-long Afghan war by officials.

It's long time for a debate between the so-called "Islamists" and the so-called "moderate Muslims" on live television.  The "Islamists" spend all their days studying the quran and hadiths, while the "moderate Muslims" spend their days trying to look acceptable to Westerners while enjoying Western comforts.

Was Mohammed a good guy by Western standards? By the actions of the Taliban who studied his writings all day in Madrasas - 'no'. By the actions of Bin Laden who gave up millions of dollars to live in a cave and follow Mohammad's example - 'no'.

Clearly, the "moderate Muslims" (aka those believing in 'Islam Lite') are trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes - and yes that includes Obama. I only see death, destruction, and dismemberment in the wake of Islam.

Zechariah 12:
³ On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves.
 ⁴ “On that day,” says the Lord, “I will cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over the people of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of their enemies. ⁵ And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Jerusalem have found strength in the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, their God.’
 ⁶ “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighboring nations right and left, while the people living in Jerusalem remain secure.
 ⁷ “The Lord will give victory to the rest of Judah first, before Jerusalem, so that the people of Jerusalem and the royal line of David will not have greater honor than the rest of Judah. ⁸ On that day the Lord will defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David!

Suspect in Seattle Military Recruiting Station Plot Allegedly Wanted Another Fort Hood

Caroline Glick : A Do or Die Moment
"As for Pakistan, the US's assassination of Osama bin Laden last month exposed the dirty secret of Pakistani military collaboration with al Qaida for all to see. This week's arrest of five Pakistanis accused of acting as informants to the US in its bid to locate the al Qaida chief is further proof - if any was needed - that the $21 billion in military and economic assistance the US has showered on Pakistan since 2002 has bought it precious little in the way of strategic support or partnership from Islamabad.

Recent reports indicate increased concern that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal may eventually fall under the control of al Qaida sympathizers."

Pakistan militant attack - blueprint for nuclear base raid? | Reuters:
"A group of highly-trained militants with night-vision goggles and the collusion of sympathetic Islamist military officials storm a heavily-guarded navy base situated only a few miles from where a unstable Pakistan stores some of its nuclear weapons...

There are some 10,000 soldiers guarding the facilities and only 5 percent of individuals pass strict screening tests for staff at the facilities"

Pakistanis tip off militants again
"In the tradition of `trust but verify,' the Americans carefully monitored the area with satellite and unmanned drones, to see what would happen, after sharing the information a third and fourth time, the officials said.

In each case, they watched the militants depart within 24 hours, taking any weapons or bomb-making materials with them, just as militants had done the first two times. Only then, did they watch the Pakistani military visit each site, when the terror suspects and their wares were long gone, the officials said."

Why Meir Dagan speaks out
"Speaking publicly this time, at a conference in Tel Aviv, [ex-Mossad chief Meir Dagan] declared that the idea of an Israeli Air Force attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities was “the stupidest thing I have ever heard.” He then added that anyone seriously considering any such strike needed to internalize that he would be “dragging Israel into a regional war that it would not know how to get out of. The security challenge would become unbearable.”"

My words: If Israel attacked Iran, the security situation around Israel would become so desperate, only the Messiah could save them - and He will. We're this close to the end.

Matthew 24:

 ³⁰ And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹ And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
 ³² “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout [Israel reborn May 14, 1948], you know that summer is near. ³³ In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. ³⁴ I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place.

More proof that we are at the very end of the age - Daniel's prophesies point to our time:

From Ellis Skolfield's free book The False Prophet:


Chapter 7
The Two Times + a Half


I never noticed this about Daniel's prophesies until I read it in Ellis Skolfield's book, but is it merely coincidental that there are exactly 2,500 years between Daniel's visions in Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 12:7, and Israel's rebirth as a nation in 1948, and Israel's conquering of Jerusalem in 1967??!! The number of years between when Daniel was given the visions, and the significant dates in Israel's history of 1948 and 1967 , is 2,500 years!! This is both amazing and embarrassing that 99.9% of modern evangelical Christians didn't pick this up. Daniel's "time, times and half a time" is not 3.5 years, it is describing 2.5 "times", or 2,500 years.

This theory seems very plausible, making the predominant end time theory held by the vast majority of today's Christians completely false.

Democrat: We Need 'Analysis of How Christian Militants … Might Bring Down The Country’
"Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said that investigators needed to analyze Christian militants in America because they too might try to “bring down the country.”"

While you're at it, better get analysis on how plumbers might revolt and bring down the country, or maybe the undertakers - they dress in black; they must be evil. Incidentally, your Democrat President is bringing down America all on his own by hitting new deficit highs every month - better get some analysis on him, too. (Too late).

Fools are attacking Israel, but the end (and their end) has already been written

Gaza flotilla to proceed without Turkish boat
"IHH, the Islamic aid group in Turkey that refitted the Mavi Marmara after Israel returned it following the raid, said technical problems prevented it from joining 10 other ships that will head for Gaza from European ports on June 25. The original plan was to sail around the first anniversary of the Israeli raid before dawn on May 31, 2010. 'We did not want the flotilla to be postponed again,'

Zechariah 12:
² “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 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.

So bring 'em on! The fools will just have to learn the hard way.

Christians at risk: A Jew’s concern | Jerusalem Post
The Jews are gone; Christian Copts are next

"In the end, some 800,000 Jews fled their ancestral lands in the second half of the 20th century, but there was hardly a peep from the international community. The UN kept silent. Democratic governments, hypnotized by the lure of oil and markets, averted their gaze. The churches, intimidated or just plain indifferent, were mum. Leading media didn’t find the stories of Jews on the move fit to print."

Revelation 6:

  ⁹ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. ¹⁰ They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” ¹¹ Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

The history of Jerusalem did not start in 1967. Thousands of years of Jewish history took place in what is now called "Arab East Jerusalem." Only when the Jewish residents were driven from their homes in 1948 was the city divided between East and West. This video shows the reality of Jerusalem today and includes interviews from survivors of the fall of Jerusalem.

How much more provocation will Israel endure?

Arab uprisings have Palestinians knocking on Israel's door
"'It's clear this was a provocation. I don't know how you can call it anything else, quite frankly,' Regev said. 'You're saying we shouldn't be here - you can have your political opinion. But you don't have the right, by violence, to try to come in and attack our border guards and break into our territory. Would any country stand for that?'"

Iranian subs to the Red Sea – riposte for UN nuclear watchdog's indictment
"After dismissing the UN watchdog's report as 'lacking legal credibility,' he declared: 'The nuclear issue is like a train which has no brakes and no reverse gear, which means there will be no compromise.'

The way Tehran announced the Red Sea deployment of its submarines indicated an intention to push the radius of its defense lines farther from home waters in the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea in case of military attack on its nuclear program."

Iran to triple capacity to enrich 20% uranium
"'With high probability, the nuclear fuel in the form of plates will be produced by September,' he said.
Western powers have repeatedly said Iran does not possess the technology to make the actual nuclear fuel plates required to power the 5-megawatt Tehran research reactor which makes medical isotopes.
World powers accuse Iran of seeking to acquire a nuclear military capacity under the guise of its civilian atomic program, a charge Tehran strongly denies."

Syria warns of more marches on Israeli border
"The Tishreen newspaper said the Sunday march was only an 'introduction,' adding Syrians and Palestinians were now determined to recover their territory through resistance.
It said Israel should expect 600,000 refugees to march 'at any time' back to their villages and farms from where their families were forcefully uprooted."

"Assad's home front is sinking fast, which was why he tried to stage a piece of nation-cementing drama on the Israeli border. He hoped the Golan dead would outnumber the many hundreds killed in his three-month crackdown on the protest movement against his regime and is therefore likely to keep on trying."

Isaiah 14:
1 But the Lord will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel. 2 The nations of the world will help the Lord’s people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies...

24 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:
“It will all happen as I have planned.It will be as I have decided.25 I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel;I will trample them on my mountains.My people will no longer be their slaves nor bow down under their heavy loads.26 I have a plan for the whole earth,a hand of judgment upon all the nations.27 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—who can change his plans?When his hand is raised,who can stop him?” [emphasis mine]

New Al Qaeda Video: Buy Automatic Weapons and Start Shooting Americans

"In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures. 'What are you waiting for?' asks Gadahn in English"

Yes, what are American Muslims waiting for? The Quran encourages Jihad against the enemy comprising of Jews, Christians, and Infidels [i.e. all non-Muslims]. Thankfully, so far, the vast majority of American Muslims are not responding.

Qur'an:9:5	"Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
Qur'an:9:112	"The Believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
Qur'an:9:29	"Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission."
Ishaq:325	"Muslims, fight in Allah's Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious."
Qur'an:8:39	"Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."
Qur'an:8:39	"So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
Ishaq:324	"He said, 'Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.'"
Qur'an:9:14	"Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them."
Ishaq:300	"I am fighting in Allah's service. This is piety and a good deed. In Allah's war I do not fear as others should. For this fighting is righteous, true, and good." Tabari 9:69 “Arabs were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet [Mohammad]. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.”

Ahmadinejad predicts US demise, Israel's disappearance
"Speaking at Khomeini shrine, Iranian president says 'war on hegemony' close to its end, 'monotheistic movement' will see success"

By monotheistic he means Islam. The polytheistic are Christian believers in the Trinity.

Inscriptions on the Abomination of Desolation=The Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount:

O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion
nor utter aught concerning God save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of
Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and say not 'Three' - Cease! [i.e. Do not believe in the Trinity] (it is) better for you! - God is only One God. Far be it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son. [Plainly says: Jesus is not the Son of God and was only a prophet]

And the reaction of today's Christians towards these Islamic inscriptions on the Temple Mount is a sleepy, collective yawn. I'm not calling for a religious war; I'm calling on Christians to WAKE UP and have an awareness of what is right under our noses, STOP the Laodicean-ization of our Churches, and preach the Bible, not some lazy, politically correct, erroneous, lukewarm opinion of the Bible.

Iran has secretly stocked enriched uranium for four nuclear bombs
The Wisconsin Project quotes the International Atomic Energy Agency's May 2011 report that one of its seals was broken in the "feed and withdrawal area" of the Natanz enrichment plant.

This means that Iran took action to conceal the real amount of is enriched uranium stockpile from the nuclear watchdog and the fact, as Wisconsin reports, that it has accumulated enough material for building four nuclear bombs. Its steady progress will go undetected until the next IAEA inventory in October or November.

The Mercaz HaRav massacre was an attack that occurred on 6 March 2008, in which a lone Palestinian gunman shot multiple students at the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, a religious school in Jerusalem, Israel, after which the gunman himself was shot dead.
