Northern Thunder

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

Northern Thunder….largely avoided in the general media, but clearly an event in the Middle East that should be noticed given it’s current state of turmoil; specifically Syria. Will this massive exercise lead to one of the many destructive prophecies waiting in the wings?

The gathering of one of the largest Muslim force in history is a significant message for Daesch….The drill involves 20 countries, amongst whom, Egypt and Pakistan, both of whom have sizable and equipped armies. Egypt has the largest army in Africa; Pakistan is a nuclear power.

The political and strategic substance of the drill is the show of an army with 350,000 strong troops, 2,500 warplanes, 20,000 tanks and 450 helicopters, under Saudi leadership. The 20-member coalition makes part of a broader 35-member Arab and Muslim (Sunni) coalition put together by Saudi Arabia.

Israel – the Apple of God’s Eye.

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. Zec 2:8

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Rom. 11:25-27

Israel is the Apple of God’s eye, the chosen nation. Their final few years are just ahead. Pray for them.

 

Damascus – a Ruinous Heap

by atharris, posted in Israel, Middle East, Prophecy

As you watch the moving 4 minute video below, remember the Words of the Lord.

Fulfilled?

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Isa 17:1

Yet to be fulfilled

Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. Isa 17:12-14

It is interesting that the Lord calls Damascus a “he” in Isaiah or is He referring to “something” else??.

In the book of Jeremiah, Damascus is clearly called by the female terminology. Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. Jer 49:24

Israel and the cities of the bible are always referred to in the feminine sense; why the change to the male sense in Isaiah? Kings and evil entities are referred to as a “he”.

As Russia Bombs Syria, U.S. Pulls Aircraft Carrier Out of Persian Gulf

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

In a time such as this….. Israel is left standing on its’ own.

As Russian warships rain down cruise missiles as part of its military strike in Syria, there’s now a glaring absence in the region: For the first time since 2007, the U.S. Navy has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.

Military officials said Thursday that they’ve pulled the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is home to about 5,000 service members and 65 combat planes, so that it can undergo maintenance. The ship officially exited the gulf around 11 p.m. ET. The temporary measure is also the result of mandatory budget cuts.

Israel discovers large quantities of oil

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

The amount of oil that Israel has discovered both onshore and offshore is now staggering. Israel is well on their way to becoming a world power.

A giant oil deposit has been found in the southern Golan Heights region near the Israeli-Syrian border

After more than a year of round-the-clock drilling, large amounts of oil have been found in the Golan Heights.
Estimates are that the amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for many years to come.
Globes quoted Afek Oil and Gas Chief Geologist Dr. Yuval Bartov as saying, “We are talking about a stratum which is 350 metres thick, and what is important is the thickness and the porosity.”
“On average in the world, strata are 20-30 metres thick, so this is ten times as large as that, so we are talking about significant quantities. The important thing is to know the oil is in the rock and that’s what we now know.”

Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: Gen 49:25

Russia and the Burden against Damascus

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

Will Russia play a role in the destruction of Damascus to protect their interest from invading forces – ISIS? Regardless of whether they do or not, this is a very heavy movement on the Russian front to protect the Assad regime and oil.

Russian submarine with 20 ICBMs and 200 nuclear warheads is sailing to Syria

The world’s largest submarine, the Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208), Nato-coded Typhoon, has set sail for the Mediterranean and is destined for the Syrian coast, debkafile reports exclusively from its military and intelligence sources. Aboard the sub are 20 Bulava (NATO-code SS-N-30) intercontinental ballistic missiles with an estimated up to 200 nuclear warheads. Each missile, with a reported range of 10,000km, carries 6-10 MIRV nuclear warheads.

The Russian sub set sail from its North Sea base on Sept. 4, escorted by two anti-sub warfare ships. Their arrival at destination in 10 days time (September 14th) will top up the new Russian military deployment in Syria.

ISIS continues to gain ground in Syria

ISIS seizes last major Syrian oilfield

ISIS fighters are reported to have seized the Jazal field, Syria’s last major oil field, in battles over the vast central desert zone east of Homs. Casualties are reported on both sides. The Syrian army did not mention Jazal but claimed to have repulsed an attack in this area, killing 25 fighters including non-Syrian jihadists.
Rebel sources said: “The regime has lost the last oilfield in Syria.”

typhoon-Dmitry-DonskoyThe burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Isa 17:1

Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations (ISIS is composed of many nations and there are multiple other terrorist groups involved in the Syrian Civil War), that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters:(when Damascus falls to the opposition) but God shall rebuke them (God can use one enemy to defeat another enemy), and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not (Only a massive earthquake, meteor, or nuclear warhead can eliminate a city overnight). This is the portion of them that spoil us (Israel), and the lot of them that rob us (Israel). Isa. 17:12-14

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isa 40:8
