The Burgeoning Iranian Threat

by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Middle East, Nuclear Iran and the Prophecy against Elam

All through the Nuclear accord talks, Iran continued to slander and threaten Israel. Now there is real evidence to make good on their threats. Iran’s intent to purchase S-300 anti-aircraft from Russia is now a reality.

Iran says it will sign deal for Russian air defense system next week

Moscow to deliver upgraded S-300 system next year, Tehran claims; system would likely complicate any attempted air strike

The S-300 is an advanced system for intercepting fighter jets and is intended to protect sensitive ground facilities. It is capable of engaging several jets at the same time and is considered one of the most advanced systems of its kind in the world. The FARS news agency quoted Dehqan as saying that Tehran asked for three batteries of the system and recently added a fourth one to the order.

Iran to arm West Bank Palestinians for new Eastern Front to “efface”Israel

Al Qods commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani, acting on the orders of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, this week set up a new Iranian command to fight Israel..

It has been dubbed the Eastern Command of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.The Al Qods Brigades, which are the external terrorist arm of the Guards, are organized according to sectors, with commands for Hizballah, the Palestinians, Syria, Iraq and the Gulf.

Their newest sector is the Eastern Command which, our sources report has been assigned as its first task to start handing out weapons, including missiles, to any Palestinian West Bank group willing to receive them. Tehran’s object is to transform the West Bank into a territory hostile to Israel on the model of southern Lebanon which is ruled by the armed Hizballah and the Gaza Strip under the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.

The Iranian Islamic Revolution Design House has created a video showing the buildup of various soldiers including the Iraqi Shia Badr Organization, IRGC, Lebanese Hezbollah, and Hamas ready to invade Jerusalem. What is amazing about this Islamic video is it shows scenes that look entirely prophetically Biblical in nature.

Six Russian MiG-31 interceptor aircraft land in Damascus to rescue Assad regime

Six Russian MiG-31 Foxhound interceptor aircraft from Moscow landed Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the Mezze Airbase situated in Damascus international airport, They were followed shortly after by giant An-124 Condor transports, which delivered 1,000 Kornet-9M133 third-generation anti-tank guided missiles.
The Russian airlift of advanced weapons for Bashar Assad’s army will last for several days. It betokens Moscow’s intention to keep up its support for the Syrian ruler and counter – by military means if necessary – any secret Iranian diplomatic machinations for terminating the Syria war and with it the Assad regime

U.S. Navy on alert: China, Russia to launch largest-ever joint navy exercise

The Chinese and Russian navies are gearing up for their largest ever joint exercises, slated to begin Thursday in the Pacific with more than 20 ships from the two nations and to feature anti-submarine operations as well as a joint-beach landing. The U.S. Naval Institute’s online news and analysis portal, USNI, noted that the exercises will be the second joint drills between Russia and China in less than a year, following the first “Joint Sea 2015,” which played out in the Mediterranean in April.

Clearly… the prophetic fulfillment of major prophecy is at the door….

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:28

Iran and the Bomb, now a reality.

by atharris, posted in Israel, Nuclear Iran and the Prophecy against Elam, Prophecy

The signed Nuclear Accord Agreement brokered by the US between Iran and other western nations is now official. Many articles could be read and much could be said about the deal, but Netanyahu in his eloquence, sums it up in 40 seconds below.

 

 

Moving on….

The events of today continue to build towards the climax of the infallible word of God.

Hooks in the Jaw

The hooks in the jaw digs deeper still…..

In another sign of warming ties between Moscow and Riyadh, the Saudi Public Investment Fund agreed Tuesday to invest a record $10 billion in Russian projects over the next four years, the largest foreign investment in the country. It comes after Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman visited St. Petersburg last month. He held long talks with President Vladimir Putin, after which the two governments signed an accord for Russia to build 16 nuclear reactors and a nuclear research program in the oil kingdom. Saudi Arabia to invest a peak $10 bn in Russian projects

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth…..Eze. 38:3-4

Prophecy against Elam

The second nuclear accord deadline has now passed with no agreement.

A US source said Tuesday night after the second deadline in eight days for a comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran went by that if no deal is finalized by Thursday, the negotiations will be abandoned. Some of the diplomats representing the six powers left Vienna. Russia’s Sergey Lavrov said he would return if necessary. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran’s Mohammed Javad Zarif planned to stay in Vienna and keeping negotiating, along with the EU foreign executive Federica Mogherini. DEBKAfile:

Iran nuclear talks may not go on past Thusday.

“It seems that the nuclear talks in Iran have yielded a collapse, not a breakthrough,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. “The major powers’ concessions are growing.”……..

According to the prime minister, the current shape of the nuclear agreement would only “pave Iran’s path to the production of very many atomic bombs and it will also channel to Iran hundreds of billions of dollars that will serve its aggression and terrorism campaigns in our region and around the world.”Netanyahu Warns Nuclear Deal a “Collapse, Not a Breakthrough” as Concessions Grow

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.Jeremiah 49:35

Thou didst break

Israel’s reliance on Egypt for safety on her southern border is now coming into question.

Hamas’ own willingness to jump into bed with Egypt, Hizballah, Iran and ISIS – all at once – undoubtedly creates a confused picture about its shifting motives. However, Israeli policymakers must beware of falling into the dangerous trap of ambivalence and loss of focus.

This tripartite ISIS-Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas axis is currently in full momentum. Egypt is therefore in for a drawn-out bloody war. Israeli policymakers would be foolish to depend on Cairo pull this red-hot iron out of the terrorist fire any time soon. They must find ways – the sooner the better – to grapple with the reality of a rampant Islamic State next door. ISIS is already in the process of overrunning the Gaza Strip; it is on the way to seizing expanding sections of the Sinai Peninsula. That territory will serve as a convenient base for Islamist raids against Israel. Israeli policymakers’ alarming over-reliance on Egypt to grapple with Hamas and ISIS

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. Ezekiel 29:6–7

Confederate against Thee

The various sects of Islam are actively killing each other all over the Middle East and North Africa, but they all have one thing in common, and that is their hatred for Israel.

Fearing a spillover of fighting from Egypt, the Israeli Defense Forces has bolstered its presence in the Sinai Peninsula Thursday after dozens of people were killed in a wave of terror attacks by ISIS…….Clashes come one day after Israel’s Defense Ministry closed the border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt amid growing reports of terror related incidents…..Amid Sinai Attacks, Netanyahu Warns ISIS “Knocking” at Israel’s Borders

Monday, July 6, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkott unveiled Israel’s answer to the coming challenge. It is a unique, multi-purpose commando ground force, especially tailored to fight ISIS and provide the “boots on the ground” which the US-led coalition has kept back from the Islamists’ constantly expanding warfront. It will be trained and armedfor extraordinary missions outside routine military tasks.The revelation was something of a wake-up call for the general Israeli population. The new Commando Brigade is designed for quiet, bold, covert and effective action against terrorist groups posing a threat from the Sinai Desert to Egyptian sovereignty and Israel’s southern border. Such action would be coordinated closely between Israeli and Egyptian military and intelligence arms.Similar operations would also be staged if necessary from Israel’s northern border – against Hizballah or any threat from Syria. Israel merges IDF elite units to form the new Commando Brigade tailored to combat ISIS

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: Psalm 83:5

ISIS attacks Egypt in North Sinai

Some 200 dead – Egyptian troops, Islamists, civilians – in major ISIS-Egyptian battle in North Sinai

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant moved ominously close to Israel’s borders Wednesday, July 1 – not as predicted in the north, but in the south, from the Sinai Peninsula. There, ISIS followed up on its Ramadan terror outrages in France, Tunisia, Kuwait and Kobani, with a massive assault on Egyptian forces and reportedly capturing the northern Sinai town of Sheikh Zuwaid close to the Israeli and Gaza Strip borders. Confirmation of this would mean that the MFO facility at Gora is under ISIS siege. It would also mean that the Islamists had captured their first Egyptian town, a victory comparable to seizure of the Iraqi city of Ramadi. In the fierce 10-hour battle for the town, at least 200 Egyptian soldiers, terrorists and civilians were killed.
Not just a terrorist attack, ISIS launched a full-scale military offensive, starting with mortar fire and suicide bombings against five Egyptian military checkpoints.

Using a tactic similar to that employed in the capture of the Iraqi town of Ramadi last month, ISIS gunmen followed this initial assault by riding in on minivans, backed by heavy mortar fire, to storm the positions held by stunned Egyptian troops. Altogether some 20 Egyptian army positions were attacked in and around Sheikh Zuwaid.

Egyptian troop reinforcements setting out from El Arish to the northeast to aid the beleaguered force, went up on mine and bomb traps secretly planted around their camps and police stations. Egyptian Apache assault helicopters striking the ISIS force themselves faced ground fire from shoulder-borne anti-air missiles.

The Islamists are additionally said to have taken Egyptian prisoners as hostages.

As the fighting grew fierce during Wednesday, Israel shut its border crossings with Egypt and the Gaza Strip, and sent reinforcements south in case the jihadis launched an attack on Israel from northern Sinai.

Our military sources also report that US Middle East forces located in Jordan and at Sharm el-Sheikh are on the ready in case the Islamic State decides to attack the US officers and men at the Multinational Force (MFO) facility in Sinai, which is located near the Sheikh Zuwaid battlefield.
The ISIS Sinai offensive is part and parcel of the reign of terror launched last Friday by Yassin Sahli when he beheaded his French boss, and Seifeddine Rezgui, who murdered 39 holidaymakers on a Tunisian beach. Standing ready for the Islamist offensive in Sinai were the jihadis of the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which recently declared Sinai a province of the Islamic State and took an oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

ISIS draws on two additional major sources for its fighting manpower: the infrastructure it established in turbulent Libya for training and arming jihadis to cross the Egyptian border into Sinai; and the fatal attraction its radicalizing ideology holds for young Muslims who are taught that the brutal murder of Islam’s foes is a cleansing and purifying act.

Land of Sojourners

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

The Hebrew word Pĕlesheth means Philistia; “land of sojourners” and is used eight times in the KJV bible in the following manner: Palestina (3x), Philistia (3x), Philistine (1x), Palestine (1x). The prophetical word Palestine, in its modern day exact spelling, is used only once! This passage speaks to the Lord’s end-time judgment upon the enemies of Israel. The name Jehoshaphat means “Jehovah is Judge” or “the Lord judges”.

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. 4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines sojourners as “a period of time when you stay in a place as a traveler or guest”. Dictionary.com defines as “a temporary stay:” and “ to stay for a time in a place; live temporarily”.

Vatican to Recognize Palestinian State in New Treaty

JERUSALEM — The Vatican announced Wednesday that it would soon sign a treaty that includes recognition of the “state of Palestine,” lending significant symbolic weight to an intensifying Palestinian push for international support for sovereignty that bypasses the paralyzed negotiations with Israel.
