2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. [ 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4]
Will the "day of the Lord...surprise you like a thief"? Put your ear to the tracks and you'll hear the train coming.
Fatah-al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades revokes Israeli amnesty deal offered 178 members for renouncing terror Tuesday morning, Aug. 21, three days after Israel’s internal security minister Avi Dichter disclosed that 40% of the group which took the pledge to give up terrorism had not turned in their weapons, the IDF rounded up two purportedly reformed al Aqsa Brigades members in a camp near Nablus.
Aksa Martyrs Brigades: 'Truce over' [Jerusalem Post]Notice the brand new M16 in this terrorist's hands? This is the same weapon the US army is using in Iraq. This US weapon, supplied to Fatah by the US, is now being used against Israel. Is anyone surprised? The US is aiding the Arabs in their war against Israel. Only the Lord knows how exactly the Saudi's are going to use the USD$20,000,000,000 (that's 'B' as in Billion) in weapons President Bush recently agreed to sell them. Iran is not the common enemy in the Middle East; Israel is!

wrkgqaGreetings EndTimes from Southern Africa! I know what you mean about the "Day job" interfering with one's ability to blog!
I wanted to share with you a couple very interesting sites that I've recently stumbled across. Each very separate from the other but still very much pointing to the same event.
http://www.thegoldenreport.com/
The Golden Report is blogged by Jerry Golden in Israel. I've chatted with him via e-mail. He's a very sensible man that is deeply worried about current events there. Read his entry entitled "Visions" posted on August 23rd, 2007.
Another site coming from the absoluetly opposite direction is:
http://www.66619.org/thequran.htm
It is a muslim site that was posted at Fish House Ministries. While it rambles on a bit. The bottom-line is that this author believes 2014 is the year of the return of their great Madih and that 666 is a holy number.
From my vantage point I'm beginning to wonder if Armagedon and Gog/Magog are the same war. I'm wondering if Iran and the Shiites will be crushed in the Gog/Magog war, and we will then see a rise of the world dominated Suni's with their Center in Saudi Arabia. Saudi would then fall to the extrme wahobists, move their capitol to Babelon with all the military might that the US has just given them. Then is when Armagedeon will occur.
All this can still occur within our life-time and the fall of the only Muslim opposition would be Iran.
Let me know what you think.

Hi new,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now. I've been a bit busy. Thanks very much for the websites. I knew about the Golden Report site, but I haven't read the Visions article yet - but I will. Thanks for the heads up.
Regarding 66619.org I'll take a look at that too. You mention it "rambles on a bit". Isn't that just like the Quran; it rambles too.
Regarding Gog&Magog and whether it's the same as Armageddon or not - I'm still inclined to think that they are the same for reasons I mentioned below, but who at this point really knows? Ans:Nobody.
Gog & Magog = Armageddon?
Another thing that makes me think that the war against Islam will be Armageddon is Revelation 16:
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance. 13 And I saw three evil[b] spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.
15 “Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”
16 And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.[c]
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!”
The "beast" in verse 13 is refering back to the Lion-Bear-Leopard beast in Revelation chapter 13. Chapter 13's LBL beast is a flashback to the Lion-Bear-and Leopard that Daniel saw in his vision in Daniel chapter 7. These LBL beasts represented the kingdoms of Daniel's time and future - namely Babylon - Medo/Persia - and Alexander the Great's Grecian empire. This is explained far better and in way more detail in Skolfield's book The False Prophet and at this site:
The LBL Beast
Anyhow, I believe it is this LBL Beast which is a composite of present day territories of Iraq, Iran, and Syria/Lebanon/Former Soviet Republics/Turkey that are calling the world to war. This war according to Rev 16:16 is called Armageddon. In other words, the beast territory, which is glued together by the religion of Islam, is calling the world together to war at Armageddon. I believe it is this Muslim beast that initiates Armageddon, and I believe the Islamic nations will be destroyed by Christ himself at Armageddon. Therefore since the Gog&Magog war is a war against the Muslim nations, I believe Armageddon and Gog&Magog are one and the same. The Muslim nations cannot be utterly destroyed twice.
By the way I believe the dragon and false prophet in Rev 16:13 are satan and Mohammad respectively.
Like I said, this is better and more orderly addressed in Ellis Skolfield's book (find the link on the right margin of my blog) and explained at the Behold the Beast website.
Incidentally and one last thing before I have to go: did you notice the location mentioned in Revelation 16:12? The Euphrates! Probably the deadliest place on earth right now. This ties in nicely with Isaiah 13's utter destruction of the whole of Babylon (today's Iraq) by an army from "faraway lands" (possibly the USA: in vs. 5), and leads directly into "The Day of the Lord" (aka Armageddon) in Isaiah 13:6. My end conclusion: I believe we're being led directly into a confrontation with Islam, into a confrontation that is called Armageddon or the Gog&Magog war. Tell everyone who's willing to listen to get ready because our casual existence will be irrevocably shaken, and will never be the same.
