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.

IAF aircraft struck several terrorist sites in Gaza on Sunday night.

According to a statement released by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, the aircraft targeted a weaponmanufacturing site, a center of terrorist activity and a terrorist tunnel in northern Gaza, as well as a smuggling tunnel in southern Gaza.

Direct hits were detected and all aircraft returned safely to their bases.

The attack came in response to high trajectory fire into Israeli territory, said the statement, adding, “The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to operate against anyone who carries out terror against Israel.”

The statement added that the Hamas terrorist organization is responsible for all acts of terror which originate in Gaza.

On Saturday night, terrorists from Gaza fired two Grad missiles at southern Israel. One of the missiles hit a home in the city of Netivot.

A man who was sleeping in the home at the time of the attack was saved by an early-warning siren and a quick escape from his bedroom.

A second missile, fired at the city of Be’er Sheva, exploded in an open area of the city. Magen David Adom treated seven people who suffered injuries from the rocket attacks.

The attacks prompted Be’er Sheva and Ashdod to cancel classes, leaving tens of thousands of students sat home.

“This was a miracle,” said Grad missile attack survivor Pinny Azoulai, who was saved by an early-warning siren and a quick escape from his bedroom. The rocket slammed into one home and damaged a neighboring house.

Azoulai told Army Radio Sunday he was sleeping at the time of the attack.

“I heard the siren and jumped out of bed and then ran to the entrance of the house,” He then decided he would be better protected in the bathroom, a move which may have saved his life.

“Just as I entered the bathroom, there was a loud explosion. My heart still is beating fast,” he said. He was surrounded by the debris of the collapsed house, which was a total loss. Azoulai still suffers from ringing in his ears.

His brother Yuval said, “His escape was a miracle. We have lived in this reality for a long time,” he added. “This was a direct hit on the house, and we will not be living here for a long time.”

Ten people were treated for shock and physical injuries in the missile strikes on Netivot and later on Be’er Sheva, where the rocket fell in an open area.

Three people in Be’er Sheva suffered injuries when they fell while running to bomb shelters. Seven people, four in Be’er Sheva and three in Netivot, were treated for shock, and three people were evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva, according to Magen David Adom.

Chief of Staff: War will Knock Lebanon Back by Decades

Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz hopes Iranian leaders will scrap nuclear program of their own accord. As for Gaza, he predicts IDF “will visit it.”

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz voiced hope in an interview published Thursday that Iranian leaders will decide to scrap their nuclear arms program of their own accord. He also said that the next war with Lebanon will knock the country back “by decades.”

“We are more prepared than in the past, we are better than we were in the past, and we will do whatever the political echelon decides after this dialog [with Iran] is over,” he said. “A nuclear Iran is not a question of ability, but rather one of decision. This is a global problem. Ultimately, the one who will decide to relinquish the nuclear program is Iran,” the Chief of the Staff said in aninterview to Halochem magazine, which is published by the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization.

“Iran is a great nation with tens of millions of residents, universities, economic and scientific capabilities; we can’t take that away from them. I think that is a very rich culture that must decide, ultimately, that this is not the way,” he added. “I think that ultimately, it will make the decision. The Iranian leadership will decide that the price of sticking with its [nuclear] program is more than it is willing to pay.”

Lt. Gen. Gantz also discussed the northern border and called the situation in Syria “acute,” stating that “the central government is fading, losing power… It is difficult to paint a picture of how the Syria of the future will look. We are closely tracking developments and are prepared for any possible aggression from that direction.”

Additionally, Gantz addressed the possibility of chemical weapons falling into the hands of the Hizbullah terror organization. “The danger of a loss of control [over the weapons] is great, but I would stay level-headed regarding this matter,” he said, also warning of the risk of getting pulled into a complex conflict.

The Chief of Staff warned Hizbullah against trying to attack Israeli targets. “Today, the IDF is massively more prepared than in the past to carry out a large-scale, multi-dimensional offensive against Hizbullah,” he said. “I would not recommend that it try our power. That would hurt it to the point that it would understand with whom it is playing with and with what it is gambling.”

He added, “If I needed to choose to be an Israeli citizen or a resident of Lebanon, I would quickly choose to be an Israeli citizen, who will receive not only justice in war but also good protection. Lebanon would be knocked back by decades after the next war; I really would not try us.”

Regarding recent developments in Egypt, the Chief of Staff explained, “That is a state with which we have a peace agreement, and most of the activity that the Egyptians carry out in Sinai, they do with [our] consent. I would not rush to eulogize our peace agreement or to give up on it. It is a strategic asset to both countries.”

With regard to the Hamas terror organization’s control of Gaza, Lt. Gen. Gantz did not rule out the possibility of an offensive to stop the persistent rocket attacks on southern Israel. “I think there will be another offensive campaign in Gaza,” he said. “The State of Israel decided to disengage from Gaza and not to stay there, but that does not mean that we don’t need to go back to visit – if and when there is a need.”

Senior officials in the Obama Administration sent a message to Tehran in the past few days,according to which the U.S. does not intend to join Israel’s side if it decides to attack the Iranian nuclear installations on its own, reports Israel’s second-largest paper, Yediot Aharonot.

According to the report, the U.S. sent the message to Iran in order to avoid an Iranian response military response that would target U.S. installations in the Gulf region.

The message was reportedly conveyed to Iran through two European countries that serve as a conduit of communication between Iran and the U.S. in times of crisis.

Nationalist newspaper Makor Rishon has accused Yediot Aharonot of working with the Obama Administration against the Netanyahu government’s planned strike on Iran.

IAF aircraft struck two centers of terrorist activity in northern Gaza on Friday night, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported.

The statement said that direct hits were identified and all aircraft returned safely to their bases.

The attack came in response to high trajectory fire into Israeli territory, said the statement.

“The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to operate against anyone who uses terror against Israel,” said the statement, adding that the “Hamas terrorist organization” is responsible for any terror activities which are launched from Gaza.

On Friday morning, a rocket fired by terrorists from Gaza hit a home in the city of Sderot. One woman suffered from shock and the home sustained minor damage.

A second rocket exploded in an open area of the Shaar HaNegev Regional Council.

On Thursday evening, a rocket launched by terrorists in Gaza exploded in an open area of the Ashkelon Coast Council region.

There were no reports of physical injuries or damage.

Sderot has been a target for rocket attacks several times this week. On Monday morning, Gaza terrorists fired a Kassam rocket on the Sderot area, minutes afterstudents arrived at their classes for the first day of school.

The rocket exploded in an open area, reducing injuries to shock and trauma.

Later in the day, Gaza terrorists fired two more Kassam rockets as children were returning home from their first day at school.

 

The short-range missiles exploded in open areas and caused no damage or physicalinjuries.

On Sunday morning, Gaza terrorists fired three Kassam rockets on the Western Negev, one of them damaging a building in the industrial area near Sderot. Oneperson was lightly wounded and a second was treated for shock.

U.S. Greatly Reduces Participation in Joint Drill with Israel

Washington has greatly reduced the scale of U.S. participation in a joint military exercise with Israel as tension continues over Iran.

IsraelNationalNews

Washington has greatly reduced the scale of U.S. participation in a massive joint military exercise with Israel, sources told TIME Magazineon Friday.

The drill was postponed seven months ago just as concerns were brimming that Israel would launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. It was later rescheduled for late October.

The officials told TIME the U.S. has slashed by more than two-thirds the number of American troops going to Israel and reduced both the number and potency of missile interception systems at the core of the joint exercise.

Instead of the approximately 5,000 U.S. troops originally trumpeted for Austere Challenge 12, as the annual exercise is called, the Pentagon will send only 1,500 service members, and perhaps as few as 1,200, TIME reported.

Patriot anti-missile systems will arrive in Israel as planned, but the crews to operate them will not, added the report. Instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships being dispatched to Israeli waters, the new plan is to send one, though even the remaining vessel is listed as a “maybe,” officials in both militaries told the magazine.

A Pentagon spokesperson declined to discuss specifics of the reduced deployment, noting that planning for the exercise was classified. In an e-mailed statement, however, Commander Wendy L. Snyder told TIME that the Israeli military has been kept informed of the changes.

“Throughout all the planning and coordination, we’ve been lock-step with the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and will continue to do so,” Snyder said.

The report noted that the official explanation for scaling back the exercise was budget restrictions. However, TIME noted, the American retreat coincided with growing tensions between the Obama and Netanyahu administrations on Israel’s persistent threats to launch an airstrike on Iran.

Israeli analyst Efraim Inbar told TIME that in the current political context, the U.S. logic is transparent.

“I think they don’t want to insinuate that they are preparing something together with the Israelis against Iran – that’s the message,” he said. “Trust? We don’t trust them. They don’t trust us. All these liberal notions! Even a liberal president like Obama knows better.”

The tension between the U.S. and Israel over an attack on Iran has been at its highest lately. The report about the scaling down of the joint military exercise came just one day after the U.S. military’s top officer made statements which appear to warn Israel that it should not expect U.S. assistance if it chooses to attack Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York. The time posted automatically on all Arutz Sheva articles, however, is Israeli time.)

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, said such an attack would “clearly delay but probably not destroy Iran’s nuclear program.” He added: “I don’t want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it.”

On Friday, the Hebrew-language daily Yediot Aharonot reported that a meeting last week between Netanyahu and visiting Rep. Mike Rogers ended on a sour note over the Iranian nuclear issue.

During the meeting, the report said, Netanyahu strongly criticized Obama for not doing enough to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. U.S. ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro then fired back at Netanyahu and accused him of misrepresenting theposition of President of the United States.
