The Wars of Ezekiel 29, Isaiah 17:1 and Psalm 83

Published by AL Beebe

For a while now I have been watching things happen in the middle east and especially with Israel and been thinking a lot about what I have seen transpire. And been putting off writing this for a while now but The Lord has been pushing me to get this out. It concerns Ezekiel 29, Isaiah 17:1 and Psalm 83. There are 2 main scenarios I see developing.

Israel strikes Iran either with conventional air strike directly on their nuke weapons site or with an EMP strike ( Electro Magnetic Pulse) burst. I will discuss later why I think this is more likely.
Once Israel strikes Iran ( which they have no choice but to do, eventually Iran will obtain a nuke and it will be game on), the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, Syria, allied with Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas will attack Israel from all sides.

Hamas- just signed a binding agreement with Iran to side with them in the event of war with Israel. They will attack with some 50,000 troops and some 50,000 to 60,000 rockets from Gaza and make a run on the border with Israel.

Hezbollah- Has 5 divisions stationed across from Galilee that is approx. 50,000 troops, and will make a run for Galilee in a blitzkrieg looking to cause as much damage as possible military, civilian, women or children it will make no difference to them.

  Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood- Egypthas moved 200-300 M60 Persing tanks into the Sinai in direct violation of the 1978-79 peace agreement with Israel as well as surface to surface anti-ship missiles, and several thousand troops. And only the Lord Know what else, and you can be the recent attack on Israel southern border was a probe to test for weakness. Actually that was the second such

 attack in the last month.

Why I believe Iran and Turkey will directly sit this one out. Iran will use their pawns as mentioned above to do their dirty work without risking a direct attack against Israel. That is if Israel hasn’t EMP’s them already. And remember Iran (aka Persia) has to be around for the battle of Gog and Magog, as well as Turkey.

  Ezekiel 29- States basically Egypt will be no more it will be layed waste for 40 years. How no one knows but based on current events it could very well be battle related. Back in 1940-1950 Egypt approached the UN and US to help them build the Aswan High Dam to help control the Nile River and to produce electric. Well there was a coup where Nasser took over and due to being communistic the UN and US backed out and Russia stepped in and agreed to help.

  Well what resulted was the Aswan High Dam. The Aswan High Dam is 3,830 metres long, 980 metres wide at the base, 40 metres wide at the crest and 111 metres tall. It contains 43 million cubic metres of material. At maximum, 11,000 cubic metres per second of water can pass through the dam. There are further emergency spillways for an extra 5,000 cubic metres per second and the Toshka Canal l

inks the reservoir to the Toshka Depression. The reservoir, named Lake Nasser, is 550 km long and 35 km at it’s widest with a surface area of 5,250 square kilometres. It holds 132 cubic kilometres of water. They actually bragged that nothing but a nuke could destroy the dam. Israel has made the statement in the past if they ever were attacked by Egypt in the future they would do just that and nuke the dam. All of Egypt’s population other than the Sinai is along the Nile River. It would effectively wipe out Egypt. Never before in Egypt’s history has it been laid waste it has never gone out of existence since before Abraham.

  Isaiah 17:1- basically talks about Damascus being a smoldering heap. Now the question remains to be seen is this because of the civil war going on inside, or from outside forces.
Israel already issued a warning to Syria several years ago that if one missile or rocket fell on Israel from Syria, Israel would start with Damascus and nuke every Syrian city. And based on what I mentioned earlie

r about Iran moving a ton of troops into Syria so I believe they can launch an attack on Israel.

The Samson option- We need also to remember Israel has the Sampson Option- We remember from the bible that Sampson prayed to the Lord to give him strength to bring down the palace killing his and Israel’s enemies and thus killing himself. Israel always launches plans with nukes on board anytime they are involved in a conflict just in case it escalates and they are in danger of being overrun.

  After this happens the world will cry for Israel’s blood. And this will set up Ezekiel 38-39 the battle of Gog and Magog. And if notice Egypt and Syria is not mentioned anywhere in that coalition. And there is no reason for the Lord not to mention them by name and instead mention a lesser country like Ethiopia which is modern day Sudan and Cush (Libya, Tunisia, and Morocco) unless Egypt and Syria is no longer there. And why not attack from the south by Sudan and Cush because Egypt is radioactive from the nuke strike on the dam all that irradiated water came pouring out and swamped the land of Egypt so they must attack from the north.

  And another reason I don’t believe Syria is there anymore because based on what God said in the bible about the size of the army that will attack from the north it will take Israel 7 years to clean up after the battle and they will be able to burn the left over fuel for 7 years without taping their own reserves. Assad of Syria is such an egomaniac he would never allow an army that size to come through his country unless he is not there.

  Scenario 2 plays out the same basically except one of the enemies of Israel or another attack first and then the rest join in. And maybe Israel seizing the opportunity to EMP Iran figuring things are about as bad as they can be and they have nothing to lose.

  Why and EMP attack- Basically Israel’s options are limited to fly a very long way over hostile territory and have to refuel midair ( which they can do, they have the ability) and loose any element of surprise.
And I wouldn’t put it past Obama to try and stop them by either directly intercepting Israeli planes as they fly over the Persian Gulf or by alerting Iran they are coming. He is not to be trusted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  All Israel would have to do is get one of their Subs into the Arabian sea and launch a tactical nuke and detonate it in the atmosphere above Iran and it would burn up every electronic device, communications, electric, radar, some vehicles, etc. etc. gone. It would through Iran back into the Stone Age overnight, and would be much more effective in stopping their nuke program than a direct strike. And much more friendly to the civilians than a nuke strike or a direct strike on their nuke facilities due to radioactive fallout from their factories and such.

  About 2 years prior Israel purchased several dolphin class subs from Germany and retrofitted them with ballistic missiles (tactical nukes). As well there have been reports that Israel is sitting on a lot of secret weapons that even the United States is unaware of.
And above all we need to remember Israel has one secret weapon that everyone always forgets about
GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! They always underestimate Gods promise to protect the apple of HIS eye.

This is just my opinion based on what I see going on. I could be wrong but what I have seen especially in the last couple weeks says it will go down very similar to this. However it happens it appears we will soon find out.

I Believe we will ( as Christians see Ezek 29 and Issiah 17 and Pslam 83 fullfilled). Then I believe some time before Ezekial 38-39 we will see the rapture, and we will be gone.

Sincerely
Your Brother in Christ

Jerusalem: IDF has ‘Attainable’ Option against Iran

Israel has a military option that it can implement “independently, without American assistance,” say sources.

Sources in Jerusalem told Voice of Israel government-sponsored radio Thursday that Israel has “an attainable military option that it can implement independently, without American assistance,” against Iran.

Meanwhile, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz delivered a Rosh Hashanah video message Thursday to the Jewish people in Israel and abroad – in English.

 

Israeli military, security forces on alert for anti-US Palestinian and Israeli-Arab riots

US embassy mobbed by Cairo Islamists

In the wake of the anti-US Islamist turbulence sweeping Arab capitals, Israel has posted additional military, police and security forces in the West Bank, opposite the Gaza Strip and among Israeli Arab communities following information received that all three are preparing to stage big anti-American protests Friday, Sept. 14, which could easily spill over into Israel.
DEBKAfile: The Palestinian Authority hopes to re-direct West Bank and East Jerusalem anger against PA leaders Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayad into an anti-US channel, while Hamas is under orders from the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo to fill the streets of Gaza with protesters against the alleged anti-Muslim film produced in the US in sync with a big Brotherhood demonstration in Cairo Friday.
Several scores of Israeli Arabs, members of the extremist Northern Section of the Islamic Movement, demonstrated outside the US embassy in Tel Aviv Thursday, chanting anti-American slogans and praise for the Prophet Muhammad.
Israeli authorities are bracing for this small demonstration to swell in numbers after Friday prayers at the mosques and send large numbers of Palestinians and Israeli Muslims out on the streets to replicate the riots against the US spreading Thursday through Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Morocco and Bangladesh since the deaths of US ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his staff in a premeditated Al Qaeda attack in Benghazi Tuesday, Sept. 11.

DEBKAfile’s Washington sources report that the anti-US ferment sweeping Arab capitals in the last three days finds Obama administration policy-makers in two minds about how it fits into the bigger picture of the Arab Spring and its aftermath. According to one interpretation, the tumult has a domestic motive, and was stirred up or exploited to weaken the new rulers thrown up by the Arab Spring while at the same time dimming US influence in the region.
This view holds that radical Islamists, ranging from Salafites to groups associated with Al Qaeda, are fanning the flames to start a process that will lead to the overthrow of the overly “moderate” Muslim Brotherhood, which is the bedrock of the relationship President Obama is striving to build between the United States and the post-revolution Arab world.

The advocates of this approach say America must maintain the flow of economic and political assistance to Brotherhood-led regimes, notably President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt, to help them stay on their feet against the violent buffeting of radical Islamists.
The other Washington camp takes the opposite line, arguing that “moderate” Islamic rulers like Morsi are in no danger at all and are in fact riding the anger of the masses over the film deriding Islam to solidify their grip on power at the expense of America’s unpopularity among Muslims.

To prove this point, they offer three examples:
1. Since becoming president, Morsi has never retracted statements he made denying al Qaeda’s responsibility for the 9/11 attacks in America. Brotherhood Secretary General Mahmoud Hussein pinned the attacks on “one of the intelligence services in America, or the Jews.” The Brotherhood still stands by the conspiracy theory that the US staged the atrocity to villify Islam.
2.   Morsi, who has been invited to the White House at the end of this month, refrained from condemning the murder of four US diplomats in Libya or offering the Egyptian people’s condolences to the US for its loss. He also waited 24 hours before issuing a tepid statement against the militants who stormed the US embassy in Cairo. he made no mention of the black al Qaeda flags hoisted above the US embassy in Cairo after the Stars and Stripes was torn down. Instead, the Egyptian president instructed his embassy in Washington to prepare a suit against the film’s director. That was before he turned out embarrassingly to be an Egyptian Copt.
3. Thursday, Brotherhood websites aired divergent messages on their English and Arabic sites:  In English, protesters were exhorted to exercise restraint. There were also words of self-congratulation that the US embassy gates were not broken down and no Americans harmed. In Arabic, the Egyptian masses were called out to demonstrate en masse Friday against the made-in-the-USA film.
That demonstration will be carefully watched to see whether it is quiet or veers into violence and anti-American outbursts. That will be the test of Morsi’s bone fides in American eyes. However, its main importance as he sees it is as a demonstration that the Brotherhood has regained control of the streets of Cairo.

It was to show the Egyptian president that he is still on trial in Washington, that President Obama said Thursday that the US would no longer consider the Egyptian government an ally, “but we don’t consider them an enemy. …I think we are going to have to see how they respond to this incident, to see how they respond to maintaining the peace treaty with Israel.” he said.

The way ahead is unclear for Washington as well as Jerusalem. The anti-US ferment in Arab capitals may just be starting. Its next directions and duration are still imponderable. Israel prepares to celebrate the New Year next week surrounded by extreme volatility among its neighbors.

Ahmadinejad to Address U.N. General Assembly on Yom Kippur

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to address the United Nations General Assembly on Yom Kippur.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to address the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, September 26, which also happens to be Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently said that he will leave for New York after the conclusion of Yom Kippur. He is scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama on September 27, although sources said the date is subject to change due to the President’s campaign schedule.

Netanyahu is likely to address the General Assembly the next day, Friday September 28.

The Prime Minister’s decision to address the U.N. came a day after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke at the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran, calling Israelis “ferocious Zionist wolves who digest the Palestinian people.”

“In Tehran today, the representatives of 120 countries heard a blood libel against the State of Israel and were silent,” Netanyahu said at the time.

“This silence must stop. Therefore, I will go to the UN General Assembly and, in a clear voice, tell the nations of the world the truth about Iran’s terrorist regime, which constitutes the greatest threat to world peace,” the Prime Minister asserted.

Western leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Holland are also expected to address the assembly.

The Iranian nuclear program and the Syrian crisis are going to be the focal points of this year’s meeting, sources said.

Barak Backstabbed Bibi on Bombing?

Something caused Netanyahu to start talking about red lines instead of imminent attack. Did Barak flip-flop?

By Gil Ronen

First Publish: 9/10/2012, 1:27 PM

Ehud Barak

Pundits have noticed a toning down of the talk coming from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu regarding an Iran attack. In the past week and a half, Netanyahu has been talking about the need for the West to set “red lines” that would constitute a casus belli if Iran crosses them. Previously, the messages coming from the Prime Minister were mostly ones signaling Israel’s resoluteness to attack Iran before the U.S elections.

What happened? The most popular theory in Israel’s punditsphere is that Defense Minister Ehud Barak suddenly bailed out of the proverbial ship heading for an attack on Iran. Barak began voicing his trust in the American resolve vis-à-vis Iranian nuclear weapons and said Israel and the U.S. see the matter eye-to-eye.

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, who is probably the minister closest to Netanyahu, went on Israel’s most highly rated newscast – the Channel 2 Friday evening weekly summary – and laid into Barak in an unusually harsh way. Steinitz raised the possibility that Barak is “stinging” Netanyahu as he stung political allies in the past.

Netanyahu faces an extremely hostile and unabashedly political press at home that militantly opposes an Iranian strike by Israel, as well as pressure by the U.S. and other nations, to refrain from such an attack. However, as long as he had Barak by his side on this matter, he had the political maneuvering room to carry out the attack despite these pressures.

Barak, a former leader of the Labor party, is perceived as a scion of the “Old Guard” leftist elite that ruled Israel until Likud took over, and still does rule Israel through the court system and other institutions, in the eyes of many. Therefore, having him onboard made it easier for Netanyahu to represent an Iran attack as a matter of survival, rather than a partisan political issue.

If Barak has bailed the ship of imminent attack, Netanyahu may feel that he has been left in the lurch without enough support for a strike he sees as vital for national survival – even though it is he, in the end, who can give orders for such an attack, with or without Barak.

There are many other possible explanations, however, for the toning down of the rhetoric from Netanyahu’s quarters.

One is that Netanyahu wants to lay low before he pounces on Iran. Barak’s statements could be part of a scheme intended to lull the enemy into complacency.

Another is that Netanyahu and Barak are more optimistic than they were regarding the possibility that Mitt Romney will replace Barack Obama at the White House. Israel may feel that once a second-term Obama administration is in place, the U.S. will be much more openly hostile to the Jewish state and may take active diplomatic or military measures to stymie a preemptive Israeli strike on Iran. If, however, Romney is elected, the chances that the U.S. would allow Israel to face Iran alone are much smaller.

Yet another possibility is that Israel has been given a commitment of some kind by Obama behind the scenes, and that this commitment convinces it that it will not have to face Iran alone.

Perhaps is that a military development on the ground or a secret technological advance are making Israel more confident that the Iranian challenge will be dealt with effectively before it can make a nuclear bomb.

All of the above are no more than informed speculations, however. It should be noted that the change in rhetoric is not a complete one, and that an Israeli attack on Iran is still possible at any time.

Former Ambassador: Israel Alone Again, As Usual

Israelis need to get used to the idea that they are alone on Iran, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Zalman Shoval said

Israelis need to get used to the idea that they are alone when it comes to dealing with Iran – and that they should not expect that the U.S. will fight Israel’s battles for it. In aninterview with Arutz Sheva, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Zalman Shoval said that Israeli and U.S. interests diverged when it came to Iran. “We need to get used to the fact that, as usual, we are alone,” he said.

The current situation, he said, was reminiscent of the situation before the Six Day War, when Israel received no support from the U.S. – and indeed, was told point-blank by the Johnson administration that if Israel took the initiative and actively attacked Egypt, it would have to suffer the consequences itself, despite the fact that Egypt committed an act of war by closing off the Straits of Tiran.

The U.S., he said, will stand behind Israel if it appears necessary – if Israel, for example, appears to be losing – but when it comes to decisions on how to defend itself, Israel should not expect the U.S. to make recommendations.

The U.S. interest in the events in the Midldle East surrounding Iran go far beyond Israel’s concerns over a nuclear-armed Iran, Shoval said. Until the election, the question of how an Israeli attack will affect his campaign is the number one interest of U.S. President Barack H. Obama, but Obama finally seems to have decided that he needs to take care of America’s economy, Shoval said – and if reelected, that domestic agenda will be far more important to him than a nuclear Iran.

With that, he added, the U.S. understands that it must act to prevent Iran from going nuclear – not necessarily to save Israel, but to save its strategic position in the world, and in the Middle East in particular Eventually the U.S. will act, he said – but by the time the U.S. is ready to move, it may be too late. “The U.S. wants to put off the confrontation for a year or two, but every delay gives the Iranians another advantage,” Shoval said.

In the end, he added, it will be up to Israel to decide what is best for its interests. “Of course, we must do this in a way that does not dismiss or disdain our friendship with the U.S.,” he added.

Barak: U.S. Ready to Face Iran on Every Level

The United States is ready to “face the challenge on every level” concerning Iran, says Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

The United States is ready to “face the challenge on every level” concerning Iran’s nuclear drive, Defense Minister Ehud Barak claimed on Thursday after meeting with the deputy U.S. military chief.

“We face a common challenge but the clock is ticking at a different pace for each of us,” AFP quoted Barak as having said after meeting the vice chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral James Winnefeld, for talks on Iran.

“We also have our differences; Israel keeps its sovereign right to act independently, and the U.S. understands this. However, there is no doubt about the U.S. readiness to face the challenge on every level,” Barak said, according to a statement from his ministry.

Earlier, a statement from Winnefeld’s office said he was in Israel as part of a previously scheduled counterpart visit with IDF deputy chief of staff, Major General Yair Naveh.

“While there, Admiral Winnefeld will participate in a series of discussions on mil-to-mil (military-to-military) cooperation and mutual defense issues impacting both Israel and the United States,” the statement said.

Barak, in the statement released from his office, said talks with Winnefeld focused on “the situation in the region, and of course about the Iran issue.”

He reiterated that “only Israel will take decisions regarding its future and security” in a reference to what plans it may have regarding Iran.

Barak added, “However, the U.S. is our most important ally. The intelligence cooperation and the military support are deep and exceptional in scope. I am sure that it will stay this way in any scenario that might happen in the future.”

The meeting had been secret until Army Radio exposed it earlier on Thursday, reporting that Winnefeld was in the country at the invitation of his counterpart, Naveh.

It was not immediately clear when Winnefeld arrived, but he was expected to leave later on Thursday.

Army Radio said the visit had been kept under wraps because of political sensitivities between Israel and Washington over how to handle Tehran’s nuclear program, which both governments suspect is designed to build atomic weapons.

U.S.-Israel relations have been strained over an attack on Iran, which Israel seems to be encouraging but which the U.S. is rejecting for the time being.

Last week, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey,appeared to warn Israel that it should not expect U.S. assistance if it chooses to attack Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Dempsey said an Israeli attack would “clearly delay but probably not destroy Iran’s nuclear program” and added, “I don’t want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it.”

Channel 10 News reported on Wednesday that preparations are currently underwayfor a meeting between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama.

According to the report, Netanyahu and Obama will meet at the White House a day after Yom Kippur, when Netanyahu arrives in the U.S. to speak at the United Nations General Assembly.

It is believed that the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama will lead to Israel agreeing to postpone an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, for a period of several months to half a year.

Earlier this week Netanyahu said that the international community must set a “clear red line” in order to avoid a war over Iran’s controversial nuclear program.

“This is a brutal regime that is racing ahead with its nuclear program because it doesn’t see a clear red line from the international community,” Netanyahu said at a meeting with Israeli and U.S. servicemen wounded in conflict.

He added, “And it doesn’t see the necessary resolve and determination from theinternational community. The greater the resolve and the clearer the red line, the less likely we’ll have conflict.”
