Although the Middle East situation looks daunting and hopeless for Israel, have no doubt that this is where it's going:


Isaiah 14:
The Lord will have compassion on Jacob;
    once again he will choose Israel
    and will settle them in their own land. 
(as I've said many times on this blog: effective May 14, 1948) 
Foreigners will join them
    and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
² Nations will take them
    and bring them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations 
    and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives of their captors
    and rule over their oppressors.

One of Daniel's time, times and half a time prophesies was fulfilled in 1948. Time, times and half a time equals 2,500 years. The Tanach says this idiom is translated "two times and a half", not 'three and a half' like today's false prophets insist. 

The second "time, times and half a time" prophecy was fulfilled when Israel re-captured Jerusalem at the end the of the Six Day War in 1967. The fact that Daniel's prophecies were received exactly 2,500 years before these very significant events testifies to the validity of this prophetic interpretation. Don't be fooled by what today's "prophecy experts" are saying. What they are saying has little Biblical support. It is statistically irresponsible to deny the validity of this interpretation of Daniel's prophesies, given that both of his "times prophesies", when interpreted as equalling 2,500 years, point to new Israel in 1948 and 1967.

Thank you Ellis Skolfield for pointing this out. Your interpretations of scripture are wildly unpopular in today's Laodicean church, but nonetheless they are Spirit-inspired, as is evidenced by the fulfillment of two of Daniel's prophecies in our time, in our generation.

Why does this matter?  Soon it will be Judgement Day. It proves that end time prophesy has already been fulfilled, and therefore highlights the fact that we live in a very significant time; the time of the end, and with what is going on in Iran, I'd make doubly sure that your heart is right with the future Messiah of Israel - Jesus - who we will all soon meet. We're living at the end of this age when the natural and supernatural collide, when the created (once again) meets the Creator - the God of Israel.

Israel Asks Egypt to Remove Tanks From Sinai
" Israel is “troubled” by the entry of Egyptian tanks into the northern Sinai Peninsula without coordination with Israel, a violation of the terms of the 33-year-old peace treaty between the two countries, and has asked Egypt to withdraw them, an Israeli government official said Tuesday."


Egypt finds it hard to justify the unauthorized Sinai tanks to Washington 
DEBKAfile August 22, 2012, 11:09 AM (GMT+02:00)

Monday, Aug. 20, DEBKAfile revealed that Egypt was holding M-60 tanks in northern Sinaiwithout coordination with Israel as a bargaining chip for gaining substantial US economic aid and refraining from a rapprochement Iran. Since there is still no sign of Egypt launching its promised major offensive against al-Qaeda-linked jihadi strongholds in Sinai, Cairo is finding it hard to explain the tanks’ unauthorized presence there and keeps on coming up with lame excuses. Tuesday, Egyptian officials tried maintaining that they gained Israel’s permission a year ago after repeated sabotage of the gas pipeline to Israel and Jordan and it is still current.  Later, they said the tanks were necessary to defend the northern Sinai town of El Arish.
Had the counter-terror offensive taken off three weeks ago when it was promised, Israel would have not demurred to the tanks’ presence - so long as Cairo gave a timeline for their removal. No such timeline has been offered.

Asia Times Online :: Bargaining intensifies over Iran strike:
"... the dominant narrative that Jerusalem is feverishly pushing for a strike while Washington is feverishly pushing back, while not necessarily wrong, is proving simplistic."

Syria warns US against interfering
"A Syrian government official has warned the United States that military intervention in Syria could lead to regional turmoil as regime forces bombed a northern village and stormed a rebel-held Damascus suburb, killing dozens of people.

He insisted that such intervention would be "impossible" because it would cause the civil war to spread to other countries in the region. "Those who are contemplating this evidently want to see the crisis expand beyond Syria's borders," Mr Jamil told reporters during a visit to Moscow.

The conflict already has spilled over into neighbouring Lebanon, where sectarian tensions have risen."

Syria moves 30 Sukhoi bomber jets closer to embattled cities – opposition 
DEBKAfile August 21, 2012, 10:34 PM (GMT+02:00)

According to opposition sources, the Syrian air force has moved 30 Su-22 planes, which can drop 400 kilogram bombs, from bases north and east of Damascus to bases within range of Aleppo, Homs, Deir al-Zour and parts of Idlib province to crush rebel resistance.

Isaiah 10:

²⁴ So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: “O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago. ²⁵ In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.” ²⁶ The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will lash them with his whip, as he did when Gideon triumphed over the Midianites at the rock of Oreb, or when the Lord’s staff was raised to drown the Egyptian army in the sea.

²⁷ In that day the Lord will end the bondage of his people.
    He will break the yoke of slavery    and lift it from their shoulders.

²⁸ Look, the Assyrians are now at Aiath.
    They are passing through Migron
    and are storing their equipment at Micmash.
²⁹ They are crossing the pass
    and are camping at Geba.
Fear strikes the town of Ramah.
    All the people of Gibeah, the hometown of Saul,
    are running for their lives.
³⁰ Scream in terror,
    you people of Gallim!
Shout out a warning to Laishah.
    Oh, poor Anathoth!
³¹ There go the people of Madmenah, all fleeing.
    The citizens of Gebim are trying to hide.
³² The enemy stops at Nob for the rest of that day.
    He shakes his fist at beautiful Mount Zion, the mountain of Jerusalem.

³³ But look! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    will chop down the mighty tree of Assyria with great power!
He will cut down the proud.
    That lofty tree will be brought down.
³⁴ He will cut down the forest trees with an ax.
    Lebanon will fall to the Mighty One.

Iran and Hezbollah Warn Israel of Turning it into 'Living Hell'
"Iran and its long arm, the Lebanese group Hezbollah, have warned their adversary Israel that they will make the country a "living hell" if Israel attacks Iran."

The 'script' for Islam's threatened war on Israel was written long, long ago. What a fantastic vantage point we (can) have as Christian believers in the only living God. I say "can have" because many professing Christians are completely asleep to what the Holy Spirit is saying today. They are members of the Laodicean church, unwarily breathing in false doctrine as we're about to collide into the end of this age.


Joel 3:

At the time of those events,” says the Lord,
    “when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem 

(Done! Started May 14, 1948),
² I will gather the armies of the world
    into the valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will judge them
    for harming my people, my special possession,
for scattering my people among the nations,
    and for dividing up my land.
³ They threw dice to decide which of my people
    would be their slaves.
They traded boys to obtain prostitutes
    and sold girls for enough wine to get drunk.

⁴ “What do you have against me, Tyre and Sidon and you cities of Philistia? Are you trying to take revenge on me? If you are, then watch out! I will strike swiftly and pay you back for everything you have done. ⁵ You have taken my silver and gold and all my precious treasures, and have carried them off to your pagan temples. ⁶ You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, so they could take them far from their homeland.

⁷ “But I will bring them back from all the places to which you sold them, and I will pay you back for everything you have done. ⁸ I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the people of Arabia, a nation far away. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Psalm 83:

¹ O God, do not be silent!
    Do not be deaf.
    Do not be quiet, O God.
² Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?
    Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
³ They devise crafty schemes against your people;
    they conspire against your precious ones.
⁴ “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.
    We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
⁵ Yes, this was their unanimous decision.
    They signed a treaty as allies against you—
⁶ these Edomites and Ishmaelites;
    Moabites and Hagrites;
⁷ Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites;
    and people from Philistia and Tyre.
⁸ Assyria has joined them, too,
    and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude

⁹ Do to them as you did to the Midianites
    and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
¹⁰ They were destroyed at Endor,
    and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
¹¹ Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did.
    Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
¹² for they said, “Let us seize for our own use
    these pasturelands of God!”
¹³ O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed,
    like chaff before the wind!
¹⁴ As a fire burns a forest
    and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
¹⁵ chase them with your fierce storm;
    terrify them with your tempest.
¹⁶ Utterly disgrace them
    until they submit to your name, O Lord.
¹⁷ Let them be ashamed and terrified forever.
    Let them die in disgrace.
¹⁸ Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord,
    that you alone are the Most High,
    supreme over all the earth.

Ezekiel 38:
⁷ “Get ready; be prepared! Keep all the armies around you mobilized, and take command of them. ⁸ A long time from now you will be called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the land of Israel, which will be enjoying peace after recovering from war and after its people have returned from many lands to the mountains of Israel (Done! Started May 14, 1948). 

There's ample evidence current events are following the lead of Biblical prophesy. There's no excuse for blindness; there's probably little time left to repent. The question is: with these divine words staring us in the face, should one continue on the path of the unrepentant world, a path which is already so beaten down by Sodom and Gommorah? The answer is clearly a resounding: "No!"

We would welcome an Israeli attack as an opportunity to get rid of Israel for good, says Iranian defense official
"An Israeli attack would be welcome as it would provide Iran with a pretext to retaliate and get rid of Israel for good," Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force chief Brig. Gen. Amir Hajizadeh told the Iranian news agency IRNA on Saturday."

Iran strike won't cause rift with US, says Israel's ambassador to Washington
"Ambassador Michael Oren, who was in Israel this weekend, said that he doesn’t anticipate a rift between Washington and Jerusalem if Israel decides to take military action against Iran’s nuclear program...Oren added that he was feeling no pressure from the Americans to avoid action against Iran’s nuclear program."

Glad tidings to all men...er, or not.

AFP: 'Tumour' of Israel will soon be destroyed: Ahmadinejad: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an annual anti-Israel protest in Tehran on Friday that the Jewish state was a "cancerous tumour" that will soon be excised.

Obama initiates September meeting with Netanyahu to renew Iran dialogue
""[Obama] can’t afford to let matters rest there. He will have to perform urgent repairs when he meets Netanyahu in September.”"

Obama - the president who never visited Israel, and made Netanyahu enter through (literally) the back door of the White House when Bibi came to visit. It should be abundantly clear that Obama is an Islamist, caliphate sympathizer.  For self-preservation, America needs to show Obama the door in November.

Israeli minister warns of 30-day war with Iran - Telegraph
"A strike on Iran’s nuclear sites would spark a 30-day war with missile attacks on Israel's cities and as many as 500 dead, according to the Israeli minister responsible for preparing home defences."

At this late point, neither the US nor Israel can destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, only cause delay
"The last moment for the United States and Israel, separately or together, to have destroyed Iran’s program went by without action five years ago in 2007. Today, the best they can achieve is to temporarily hold Iran back from building a bomb."

Israel has not decided on Iran strike, cannot deliver knockout punch alone, top US defense officials say
"Gen. Martin Dempsey, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also spoke out against reported Israeli plans, saying Israel’s air force did not have the capability to deliver a knockout blow to Iran’s nuclear program."

I can see it now - Israel unsuccessfully attacks Iran's nuclear facilities and its proxies, Iran counter-attacks  directly and through Hezb'allah, and we're into Ezekiel 38 which ends with:

 ²² I will punish you [Gog] 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.

Israel's back in the land. The end of this age. We're that close.

Does Israel Face a December Deadline to Attack Iran? - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

Does Israel Face a December Deadline to Attack Iran?
Iran will complete its program to protect its nuclear project, with all its scientific, industrial and military components by this December. Israel considers this stage to mark Iran’s entry into an “immunity space” [term used by Defense Minister Barak to designate the point at which the Iranians will become immune to an Israeli strike].

Obama set to assure Israel that, if all else fails, US will attack Iran by June 2013

American and Israeli officials are working to arrange a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at which the White House will assure Israel that the US will use force to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons drive by next June at the latest if the Islamic Republic has not halted its program by then, Israel’s Channel 10 news reported on Tuesday night.

Israeli speculation over Iran strike reaches fever pitch
"On Tuesday, an article in Ma'ariv suggested that Netanyahu and Barak have set a deadline of 25 September for Obama to clearly state that the US itself will take military action. The date is the opening of the UN general assembly in New York, and also the eve of Yom Kippur, one of the most significant dates in the Jewish calendar.



The implication is that, in the absence of a public declaration, Israel will press on with its own plans to strike at the Iranian nuclear programme."

Ezekiel 38:
This is another message that came to me from the Lord: ² “Son of man, turn and face Gog of the land of Magog, the prince who rules over the nations of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. ³ Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: Gog, I am your enemy! ⁴ I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws to lead you out with your whole army—your horses and charioteers in full armor and a great horde armed with shields and swords. ⁵ Persia [renamed Iran in 1935], Ethiopia, and Libya will join you, too, with all their weapons ["Arab Spring" or not, Islam is the final enemy]. ⁶ Gomer and all its armies will also join you, along with the armies of Beth-togarmah from the distant north, and many others.

Ezekiel 39:
“Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am your enemy, O Gog, ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. ² I will turn you around and drive you toward the mountains of Israel, bringing you from the distant north. ³ I will knock the bow from your left hand and the arrows from your right hand, and I will leave you helpless. ⁴ You and your army and your allies will all die on the mountains. I will feed you to the vultures and wild animals. ⁵ You will fall in the open fields, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign Lord. ⁶ And I will rain down fire on Magog and on all your allies who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

⁷ “In this way, I will make known my holy name among my people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring shame on it. And the nations, too, will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. ⁸ That day of judgment will come, says the Sovereign Lord. Everything will happen just as I have declared it.

Matthew 24:

²⁹ “Immediately ["immediately" can easily be 100+ years from God's perspective] after the anguish of those days [the Holocaust; the Diaspora],

the sun will be darkened,
    the moon will give no light,
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

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 [the Second Coming]. ³¹ And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet [1 Corinthians 15:50-53], 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 [figuratively = Israel]. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout [Israel Independence Day, May 14, 1948], you know that summer [or the End] 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 [i.e. The End of the Age is near] . ³⁴ I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. ³⁵ Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

• How do we know Israel's "fig tree leaves" have already sprouted?
• Daniel's "Time, Times and half a Time" prophecies point to Israel's monumental dates of 1948 and 1967. The scattering of the power of the holy people is over!
• The prophet Daniel's "times" prophecies have already been fulfilled!

>The time between when Daniel received the vision in Daniel 7:25 and the restoration of the nation of Israel in 1948 was exactly 2,500 years.

>The time between when Daniel received the vision in Daniel 12:7 and Israel's re-capture of the Temple Mount in 1967 was exactly 2,500 years.

“No! I would never keep this nation from being born,”
    says your God.

¹⁰ “Rejoice with Jerusalem!
    Be glad with her, all you who love her
    and all you who mourn for her.
¹¹ Drink deeply of her glory
    even as an infant drinks at its mother’s comforting breasts.”

¹² This is what the Lord says:
“I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity.
    The wealth of the nations will flow to her.
Her children will be nursed at her breasts,
    carried in her arms, and held on her lap.
¹³ I will comfort you there in Jerusalem
    as a mother comforts her child.”

¹⁴ When you see these things, your heart will rejoice.
    You will flourish like the grass!
Everyone will see the Lord’s hand of blessing on his servants—
    and his anger against his enemies.
¹⁵ See, the Lord is coming with fire,
    and his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind.
He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger
    and the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.
¹⁶ The Lord will punish the world by fire
    and by his sword.
He will judge the earth,
    and many will be killed by him. [Judgement Day; the

Day of the Lord]
