Israel in the Crosshairs of the Middle East War Drums

Israel in the Crosshairs of the Middle East War Drums - Jim Nash - http://watchmansview.com/Commentary_-_Israel_in_the_Crosshairs_of_the_Middle_East_War_Drums.html
 
 
Clear prophetic signs of what time it is!!
 
 A Continuing Update (#19) to: "Is The Psalm 83 Confederacy (Islamic Caliphate) Surrounding Israel?" 
 
"So you also, when you see all these things, know that it [He] is near - at the doors!  Matthew 24:33 ...to this end, consider this weeks select news below and the commentary which follows...
 
Nasrallah: Hezbollah prepared for war deep into Israel, beyond the Galilee
 
"We have made all necessary preparations for a future war with Israel," Hezbollah chief says...Hezbollah is prepared for military intervention in Israel's Galilee and beyond, deeper into Israeli territory, said the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah.  "We have made all necessary preparations for a future war with Israel,"...Nasrallah said that Hezbollah has more types of weapons than Israel can imagine... http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Nasrallah-Hezbollah-prepared-for-war-deep-into-Israel-beyond-the-Galilee-387826 ..."We have made all necessary preparations for a future war with Israel" could that statement be any more prophetic!  Hezbollah, a terrorist organization and proxy of Iran, appears to be ramping up for a final war with Israel.  Hezbollah is part of the "inhabitants of Tyre" among the ten Arab populations spoken about in Psalm 83:6-8... Nasrallah needs to read the Bible (Psalm 83) as his plan does not end well for Hezbollah in this soon coming war of extermination.  The Psalm states that the immediate neighbors surrounding Israel, will launch such a war for the purpose of "wiping out Israel as a nation" (verse 4). The nations described are those with a common border with Israel today (verses 6-8).  Does Israel win? The rest of the psalm is a prayer for the victory of Israel (verses 9-18) and we know from Zechariah 12:6 that Israel will be like "a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples..."  ...Clear enough for me!
 
Hezbollah's firepower of 150,000 projectiles exceeds all European armies combined
 
The IDF must be prepared for three principal security scenarios in the near future, former national security adviser Maj.- Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror has said, naming them as a large-scale ground war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, attrition against Hamas in Gaza, and the possibility of a military operation in Iran..."The strongest of them is Hezbollah, which was formed with a dual purpose in mind: It represents Iran's long reach in the area and against Israel, and it aims to control Lebanon.  Hezbollah most closely resembles an army, and its arsenal totals some 150,000 missiles and rockets, several thousand of which can target any area in Israel.  "This rare and substantial firepower even exceeds the firepower possessed by most of the European states combined," Additionally, Hezbollah is armed with surface-to-sea missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, drones and modern anti-tank missiles... http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/IDF-must-be-prepared-for-action-against-Hezbollah-Hamas-and-Iran-387794 ...Hezbollah is a VERY serious adversary on the northern border of Israel and would get the first call to all out war with Israel when Israel strikes Iran's area of ancient Elam.  Hezbollah is either going to need to be taken out by Israel just prior to the Jeremiah 49: 34-39 strike, or at the same time the strike occurs...my comments as to the end result for Hezbollah are posted in the prior article above...God's Word says it, I believe it!
 
Islamic State has Breached Saudi Borders
 
While the world's media focused on the events of Charlie Hebdo tragedy, it has simply ignored the terrorist attacks in the Middle East. Moreover, this very attacked has highlighted a major shift in the situation in the region, putting the primary strategic partner of the US in the Arab world - Saudi Arabia at risk.  Early on January 5 four ISIL militants crossed the border of Saudi Arabia in the Northern Province area.  During a shootout with the Saudi border patrol that broke out when the militants attacked a checkpoint, one of the terrorists was killed while the other detonated an explosive belt, killing three Saudi soldiers.  The attack on the border checkpoint near the town of Arar means that now ISIL has officialy started assaulting Saudi Arabia...things are looking grim for the Saudi authorities, given the fact that a total of 5 to 7 thousand Saudi citizens are fighting under the Islamic State banner... http://journal-neo.org/2015/01/14/rus-granitsy-islamskogo-gosudarstva-doshli-do-saudovskoj-aravii/ ...ISIS infiltrating yet another bordering State to Israel, which is involved in the Psalm 83 War...ISIS now has a presence in every single State and terrorist organization named in Psalm 83!! ...is their any doubt that "The Psalm 83 Confederacy (ISIS - Islamic Caliphate) is Surrounding Israel?"
 
Up to 700 Turkish Nationals Have Joined Islamic State
 
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said up to 700 Turkish nationals have joined the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization, sounding the alarm over the risk of attacks inside Turkey if the terrorists return home...He added that Turkey had barred entry to around 7,250 people from abroad who were planning to join ISIS and said 1,160 would-be terrorists were deported...
...clearly ISIS plan is to surround Israel with a united Islamic Caliphate with the end goal of "wiping out Israel as a nation"...Biblical prophecy being fulfilled in real time before our eyes!
 
Wild Cheers For Proposed Invasion Of Israel From NATO Ally
 
Turkish and Palestinian flags fluttered like angry birds in a crowd of thousands of people chanting "Allahu Akbar!" and "Down with Israel!"..."God willing, we will liberate Jerusalem together."..."Know this, that strong Turkey is the strength of Palestine and of Jerusalem. Turkey is the strength that represents all Muslims." ...Turkey broke off its once-friendly relationship with Israel in 2010 and then Erdogan turned on his former ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.  Turkey has a double-edged policy toward ISIS as it plays both sides of the war against the Islamic State. Erdogan also supported the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt, a move that eventually backfired as the Brotherhood was later tossed out of power by Egypt's military..."The prime minister is the number-two man and he's shouting 'Allahu Akbar' to the idea of them leading an invasion of Israel and taking Jerusalem,"..."Now, if anyone is doubting an Islamic takeover and Turkey is now emerging as a radical Islamic nation and they have the largest army in the region then they have their head in the sand...
...once strong allies, Turkey and Israel are now bitter rivals.  The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, recently and very publically criticized Israel's PM Netanyahu for participating in the march of solidarity with other world leaders in Paris, saying that Israel had been "waging state terror" in Gaza. A top Israeli official fired back, calling Mr. Erdogan an "anti-Semitic bully."...This development of Turkey aligning itself with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, is a troubling sign, and Turkey's strengthening economic ties with Russia, leaves little room for doubting, its prophesied end time role, as part of Ezekiel 38,39 to destroy Israel.
 
Iran Building Missile Sites in Syria
 
Iranian military leaders admitted this week to building and operating missile-manufacturing plants in Syria, where it was also revealed that Tehran is helping to build a secret nuclear facility...Iran's Supreme Leader ordered forces to build and operate missile plants in Syria, where Iran continues to fight on behalf of embattled leader Bashar al-Assad, according to regional media reports...Iran's military actions in Syria could constitute a gross violation of sanctions on the regime enacted by the United Nations and Western powers... http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-building-missile-sites-in-syria/ ...this latest development could certainly be the impetus for the fulfillment of Isaiah 17
 
Russia Is Losing Control Over The European Gas
 
Russia has reportedly struck a deal with Turkey for a new pipleine in a move to regain leverage on Europe.  Oil isn't Russia's only problem.  The energy exporter is losing its dominance over the European gas market...Russia provided one-third of the natural gas that European countries relied on both for heating their homes and running industries. Because Russia played such a huge role in the gas market, it was able to command high prices... http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-losing-european-gas-2015-1  ...this move stems from the recent created drop in the price of oil - see "Did The Saudis And The US Collude In Dropping Oil Prices?" http://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/Did-The-Saudis-And-The-US-Collude-In-Dropping-Oil-Prices.html  ...The last three articles above are concerning the Axis of the Gog Magog War (Russia, Turkey & Iran - the largest players in the War of Ezekiel 38, 39), and the likely "hook in the jaw" for Gog, Prince of Rosh is the very significant Oil and Gas reserves that Israel now possesses, and other very significant reserves they may control after the soon coming regional wars (i.e., Psalm 83...which may expand Israel's land mass back to the Abrahamic Covenant borders God promised Israel).  With Russia currently being squeezed by the U.S. and the Saudis, who are not only punishing its two rivals, Russia and Iran, for their support of Bashar al-Assad's regime in the Syrian civil war, but another reason may revolve around who controls the oil and gas in the Middle East, and thus the weakening of Russia, Iran and Syria by flooding the world market with cheap oil (as we are currently seeing)...make no mistake, the Russia Bear is awake and will roar! ...As a key ally of Syria, supplying Assad with billions in weaponry, ("Gog") Putin, along with Iran, has found himself targeted by the House of Saud. Putin's territorial ambitions in the Ukraine have also put him at odds with US President Barack Obama and leaders of the EU.  Iran needs $140 a barrel oil to balance its budget and Russian economy is totally reliant on high oil prices.  Putin is a master player in the chess game of energy politics - how long with this go on before Putin strikes back with a vengeance?  The likely scenario is that Israel will strike preemptively, or will be forced into multiple regional Wars (Psalms 83, Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 & 19, Ezekiel 35, Zephaniah 2:4-15, Zechariah 12:1-9) and with a massive Israeli victory (prophesied) will resulting in increasing its borders ( http://watchmansview.com/New_Israel_Borders.html ) - after a short period of time, living in peace and security, it sets the stage and becomes the impetus for Russia to "make an evil plan...to take plunder and to take booty" and lead the Ezekiel 38 & 39 War against Israel...It is not hard to see how all of this is going to play out - as we get closer to the day of our redemption, the light and lens of Scripture overlaying the headline news is making everything unknown, visible and very clear "for the light is making everything visible" Eph 5:14a ...do not doubt it, we are at the door-step of the fulfillment of these very significant prophetic events!
 
The timing of all of this could also (possibly) be very interesting...
 
"And I will show wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah."  Joel 2:30 -31
 
"The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious Day of the Lord." Acts 2:20
 
The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says; "When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel. If its face is as red as blood, (it is a sign that) the sword is coming to the world." Therefore: Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for the Jewish people and Israel; Blood Moon = sword coming; Solar Eclipse = bad omen for the world.
 
Every time a blood moon pattern has appeared on Jewish feast days a big event affects the nation of Israel...See this webpage for some excellent history on key events affecting Israel http://www.pray4zion.org/thecomingbloodmoons.html  (other comment from this page are indicated by * below), also see comments in our Blood Moon Tetrad page http://watchmansview.com/Blood_Moon_Tetrad.html
 
NASA's website predicts a total solar eclipse will occur on the 20th of March 2015. The eclipse takes place on the Jewish New Year for KINGS which is 1st of Nissan of the Jewish Calendar. The Moon will block out the Sun's light and caste a shadow of darkness upon the Earth. The Jewish New Year solar eclipse will be followed only one month later by the Jewish Passover lunar eclipse when the Moon will appear as Red Blood on April 4th, 2015. Speculation is mounting regarding the close proximity of Solar and Lunar eclipses occurring on Jewish Holidays only a month apart and in the middle of a Tetrad sequence also occurring on Jewish Holidays. The Bible contain several warnings regarding the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses together.
 
 Repeated calls by radical Muslims for a world-wide jihad are now heard everywhere - from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, the Palestinian territories in Israel, and even from Muslim groups in London and France. The scene is set to launch a major attack against non-Islamic infidels (as was just experienced in France). The suicide bomb mentality of these terrorist Islamists has over and over demonstrated that they have a fanatical, religious-driven hatred for their enemies and will not hesitate to plunge the whole world into chaos! ...Israel still remains their most important target *
 
In Biblical prophecies there is a direct correlation between signs in heavenly bodies and distressing events happening on earth.... We are rapidly approaching (or we are in) the time of the fulfillment of these signs.
 
Mark 13:24 - 46, "But in those days the sun shall be darkened (eclipse) and the moon shall not give its light (eclipse) then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
 
Note, it DOES NOT say ON that (or those) days the Son of man will come, like some like to speculate, however "then they shall see" likely AFTER at some point or maybe close to those events..."before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah"  Joel 2:30 -31 and "before that great and glorious Day of the Lord" Acts 2:20
 
Yeshua (Jesus) told His disciples what would be the signs of the end of the age and some of them involved signs in the heavens he closes commanding them to 'watch' 4 times. To be a "Watcher, and observe what is happening in the heavens" relating to the Last Day, when "unusual signs" are seen in the heavens we watch, pray and record.
 
> "Does YHWH (Yahweh God) use the moon for signs?" Yes: Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25.
 
> "Are Feasts relevant to Yahweh, and related to the moon?" Yes: Leviticus 23.
 
> "Are blood-red moons prophetic in Scripture?" Yes: Joel 2:10, 31; Acts 2:20; Revelations 6:12.
 
"Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen..." - Luke 21:36 Yeshua (Jesus) spoke those words after He warned us of many of the events that will happen in the end times. They are especially relevant to us today when we consider the volume of current headlines that are now fulfilling Bible prophecy at an absolutely amazing rate. *
 
The United States should have never taken its protection off Israel!. The US is slowly distancing itself from Israel while aiding her enemies. As the US is drawing away, Israel will soon find another protector, which will bring her real salvation, namely Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ). The situation in the Middle East is extremely volatile, and at any given moment a massive regional war could break out.  Iran and Russia are using Syria to draw Israel into a war, and they may be successful. There are many indications, as pointed to in the articles this week above, that the tension between Israel and her Muslim neighbours are close to a breaking-point. Iran's president and religious leaders continually make calls for the complete annihilation of Israel and the world does not come to Israel's defense!  Iran's nuclear programme has been accelerated and they have armed Hezbollah in Lebanon to the teeth and now we hear of Iran building missile sites in Syria.
 
We have the withdrawing of the United States from the world scene, a weakened yet dangerous Syria, and Russian armies in the Ukraine and Middle East ready for war. It only takes one spark to get it all going! The next weeks and months are very important to see how all of these things play out in the Epicenter.  It could be very eventful... as the Middle East is absolutely lining up to Bible prophecy! *
 
All of this begs the question "Does anyone know what time it is?  Does anyone really care?"  The words to this rock and roll hit recorded by the band Chicago in January of 1969 comes to mind, when thinking about everything addressed above coupled with recent messages by Jonathan Cahn, best known for "The Harbinger" and "The Mystery of the Shemitah: The 3,000-Year-Old Mystery That Holds the Secret of America's Future."...God seems to be giving us warning after warning of what time it is and what we can expect - the year of the Shemitah, the year of the blood moons, and many other end time signs being fulfilled on a daily basis...Is anyone listening?  Note the hour glass and the clock face on our Home Page (www.WatchmansView.com) - Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?  ...you can listen to Cahn's message delivered recently starting at (forward to) the 2:00 minute point in the video to the 6:25 minute mark ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSliWmZhLow ).
 
WAKE UP CHURCH!! "for the light is making everything visible. That is why it says, "Wake up, sleeper! Arise from the dead" Ephesians 5:14NASB  "Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed" Romans 13:11ESV
 
"Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near." Joel 2:1
 
"Encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."  Hebrews 10:25b
