PARALLEL UNIVERSE: Where Are the Aid Flotillas to Syria? | Huntington News:
Less than two years ago, the headlines screamed about the so-called aid flotillas to Gaza, initiated by Code Pink and other so-called "Progressive" groups -- including the notoriously anti-Israel American Friends Service Committee. The boats sailed from Cyprus and Turkey and were intercepted by the Israeli Navy, which had reason to believe that smuggled weapons aboard the boats would reach the Hamas-controlled enclave -- which is continuing to shoot rockets into Israel.

Romans 11:

²⁵ I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,
“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem,
      and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
²⁷ And this is my covenant with them,
      that I will take away their sins.”

"As the Ayatollahs witness the vast US, Saudi, Israel, British, French and Arab Gulf war preparations around their borders, will they opt to watch and wait for the sword to fall, or will they try and get in first with a hammer blow against Israel?"

Iran and allies attacking a re-gathered Israel? Here is where you've read that before:

Ezekiel 38 NLT : ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya will join you, too, with all their weapons. ⁶ Gomer and all its armies will also join you, along with the armies of Beth-togarmah from the distant north, and many others. 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...

This is so plain to see, it is painful watching the unsaved go blindly along, planning for a tomorrow which may never come. Time still to pray for their souls, but soon it will be too late.

Same war? Ezekiel 38-39 vs. Revelation 16...

32 But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the LORD has said.
These will be among the survivors whom the LORD has called.

Joel 3

Judgment against Enemy Nations

¹ “At the time of those events,” says the LORD,
      “when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem,
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!”

⁹ Say to the nations far and wide:
      “Get ready for war!
   Call out your best warriors.
      Let all your fighting men advance for the attack.
¹⁰ Hammer your plowshares into swords
      and your pruning hooks into spears.
      Train even your weaklings to be warriors.
¹¹ Come quickly, all you nations everywhere.
      Gather together in the valley.”

And now, O LORD, call out your warriors!

¹² “Let the nations be called to arms.
      Let them march to the valley of Jehoshaphat.
   There I, the LORD, will sit
      to pronounce judgment on them all.
¹³ Swing the sickle,
      for the harvest is ripe.
   Come, tread the grapes,
      for the winepress is full.
   The storage vats are overflowing
      with the wickedness of these people.”

¹⁴ Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision.
      There the day of the LORD will soon arrive.
¹⁵ The sun and moon will grow dark,
      and the stars will no longer shine.
¹⁶ The LORD’s voice will roar from Zion
      and thunder from Jerusalem,
      and the heavens and the earth will shake.
   But the LORD will be a refuge for his people,
      a strong fortress for the people of Israel.

Mullah's Moolah

Canceling the Mullahs' Credit Card
Tehran uses SWIFT's technology to conduct business with its trading partners, to sell its oil, to raise capital for its energy sector, to procure energy-related equipment and technology, and to buy and sell other goods and services. Indeed, 19 Iranian banks and 25 Iranian entities reportedly used SWIFT more than 2 million times in 2010. These transactions, the Wall Street Journal noted in a recent editorial, amounted to $35 billion in trade with Europe alone. And they almost certainly violate existing sanctions laws. Cutting off this source of cash could be hugely consequential for those who seek to peaceably halt the Islamic Republic from developing a nuclear weapon.

'We'll back any nation wanting to fight the Zionist regime
Islamic Republic will not yield to international pressure to abandon its nuclear course, says Iran's Supreme Leader; Khamenei threatens retaliation for sanction aimed at Iranian oil exports.

"Threatening Iran and attacking Iran will harm America ... Sanctions will not have any impact on our determination to continue our nuclear course ... In response to threats of oil embargo and war, we have our own threats to impose at the right time," Khamenei told worshipers in a speech broadcast live on state television.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Threatens Retaliation Against Attack - NYTimes.com

From the ruins I will rebuild it
and restore its former glory.
12 And Israel will possess what is left of Edom
and all the nations I have called to be mine.”

than they can be harvested.
Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel
will drip with sweet wine!
14 I will bring my exiled people of Israel
back from distant lands,
and they will rebuild their ruined cities
and live in them again.
They will plant vineyards and gardens;
they will eat their crops and drink their wine.
15 I will firmly plant them there
in their own land.
They will never again be uprooted
from the land I have given them,”
says the LORD your God.

   All your evil deeds
      will fall back on your own heads.
¹⁶ Just as you swallowed up my people
      on my holy mountain,
   so you and the surrounding nations
      will swallow the punishment I pour out on you.
   Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger
      and disappear from history.
¹⁷ “But Jerusalem will become a refuge for those who escape;
      it will be a holy place.
   And the people of Israel will come back
      to reclaim their inheritance.

Islam is the enemy. The "abomination of desolation", described as an "it" in Mark 13, has been on the Temple Mount since 688AD. The prophet Daniel's prophecies about end time events point directly to the construction of the Dome of the Rock - the Abomination of Desolation. Christians and non-Christians, all people desperately need to wake up to what is happening to our world today, and definitely don't allow Obama to be your source for understanding Islam.

DEBKAfile, Iranian missile spin closes Hormuz for five hours
By a media trick, Tehran proved its claim that closing the Strait of Hormuz is as "easy as drinking water," debkafile reports. First thing Saturday morning, Saturday, Dec. 31, Iran's state agencies "reported" long-range and other missiles had been test-fired as part of its ongoing naval drill around the Strait of Hormuz. Ahead of the test, Tehran closed its territorial waters. For five hours Saturday, not a single warship, merchant vessel or oil tanker ventured into the 30-mile wide Hormuz strait, waiting to hear from Tehran' that the test was over.

AFP: Iran keeps tensions high over oil strait
Washington has warned a closure of the strait "will not be tolerated" after Iranian Vice President Reza Rahimi's threat this week that "not a drop of oil" will pass through the channel if more Western sanctions are imposed over Tehran's nuclear programme.

Iran has brushed off the warning from the United States, which bases its Fifth Fleet in the Gulf, with Iranian navy chief Admiral Habibollah Sayari saying it would be "really easy" to close the strait.

"We're in the game of threats. If you're going to cut them out of the oil market, they have no interest in the flow of oil from the region," Vali Nasr, a Tufts University professor, said.

Iran's message is: "If we are not allowed to play in the game [due to crippling sanctions], we have no interest in allowing anybody else to play," said Nasr, a former State Department adviser."

Arab Apartheid
After the establishment of Israel in 1948, several thousand Palestinians fled to Egypt. But King Farouq was not happy with the presence of Palestinians in his country and the three refugee camps that were established in Egypt for Palestinians were dismantled.

The Egyptians expelled many Palestinians to the Gaza Strip, which was still under Egyptian sovereignty. But those who were allowed to stay in Egypt were required to have an Egyptian "guarantor."

Quran Sura 19:

88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
Located between Oman and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint due to its daily oil flow of 15.5 million barrels in 2009, down from a peak of 17 million bbl/d in 2008. Flows through the Strait in 2009 are roughly 33 percent of all seaborne traded oil (40 percent in 2008), or 17 percent of oil traded worldwide.
