*Close to Armageddon*

October 18, 2007


The world is only inches away from tipping into World War III and a
nuclear holocaust, but there is something that occurs after Armageddon.
By Gerald Flurry


Most journalists agree that Israeli F-151 jets made a surgical strike on
a military installation inside Syria. The date was September 6.


The Syrians are not talking because they have been humiliated. Other top
government officials who know about the attack are not talking either.
In fact, they have never been so abnormally secretive about anything!
Israel has had close to total censorship, which is almost unheard of.
Why are they all so secretive?


The Spectator quoted “a very senior British ministerial source” as
saying this: “If people had known how close we came to World War iii
that day, there’d have been mass panic. … [Prime Minister Gordon] Brown
really would have been dealing with the bloody Book of Revelation and
Armageddon” (October 3).


This is a reputable newsmagazine quoting “a very senior British
ministerial source” who said that to reveal news of this attack would
have caused “mass panic”!


Why? Because people would then have known how close we came to World War
iii! According to this source, the prime minister of Britain (not of
Israel) “would have been dealing with the bloody Book of Revelation and
Armageddon.” This seems to be about the worst description he could give us.


So if leaders are thinking that way in Britain, what does this mean? It
means that other nations believe the whole world will be pulled into any
military whirlwind in the Middle East, especially if it’s nuclear.


Here is another statement from the Spectator (emphasis mine throughout):


According to American sources, Israeli intelligence tracked a North
Korean vessel carrying a cargo of nuclear material labeled “cement” as
it traveled halfway across the world. On September 3 the ship docked at
the Syrian port of Tartous, and the Israelis continued following the
cargo as it was transported to the small town of Dayr as Zawr, near the
Turkish border in northeastern Syria.


The destination was not a complete surprise. It had already been the
subject of intense surveillance by an Israeli Ofek spy satellite, and
within hours a band of elite Israeli commandos had secretly crossed into
Syria and headed for the town. Soil samples and other material they
collected there were returned to Israel. Sure enough, they indicated
that the cargo was nuclear.


Three days after the North Korean consignment arrived, the final phase
of Operation Orchard was launched. With prior approval from Washington,
Israeli F-151 jets were scrambled and, minutes later, the installation
and its newly arrived contents were destroyed.


So secret were the operational details of the mission that even the
pilots who were assigned to provide air cover for the strike jets had
not been briefed on it until they were airborne.


The world knows that Israel has nuclear bombs and submarines with
nuclear cruise missile capability.


Syria already has one of the world’s deadliest stockpiles of chemical
and biological weapons. They wanted the nuclear material to complete
their weapons of mass destruction arsenal. This is one of the supreme
goals of any terrorist-sponsoring nation. Such a program is the most
efficient way to kill large numbers of human beings, including women and
children.


Apparently Syria was about to construct a nuclear facility. The Jews
believe they cannot allow this to happen, since Syria is one of their
nearest neighbors. Also, Syria is second only to Iran in state-sponsored
terrorism! It isn’t hard to imagine Damascus giving nuclear devices to
terrorists.


Do we really know how insanely dangerous this world is?


One of the Trumpet’s contacts in Israel said he wondered why Israel was
calling up its national guard before September 6. After he learned some
sketchy details of the attack, he knew why. Israel was preparing for
war—possibly a war involving wmds. And we can’t rule out the use of
nuclear weapons, even from the Arab side.


There seems to be clear evidence that the Russians had some nuclear
weapons stolen. Who got them? Syria? Iran? Many journalists think it was
Iran.


This problem goes much deeper than Syria and Israel. Syria is a
surrogate of Iran. The king of the Muslim world is Iran.


Charles Krauthammer wrote this in his September 21 Washington Post column:


Iran’s assets in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq are poised and ready.
Ahmadinejad’s message is this: If anyone dares attack our nuclear
facilities, we will fully activate our proxies, unleashing unrestrained
destruction on Israel, moderate Arabs, Iraq and U.S. interests—in
addition to the usual, such as mining the Strait of Hormuz and causing
an acute oil crisis and worldwide recession.


This is an extremely high-stakes game. The time window is narrow. In
probably less than two years, Ahmadinejad will have the bomb.


The world is not quite ready to acquiesce. The new president of France
has declared a nuclear Iran “unacceptable.” The French foreign minister
warned that “it is necessary to prepare for the worst”—and “the worst,
it’s war, sir.”


France is a member of the European Union. You can see that the EU is
being drawn into the Middle East vortex.


Europe is going to clash with Iran and radical Islam soon. The EU is
going to win, according to Bible prophecy.


Iran is going to “push” until it provokes a war, which will trigger
World War iii.


Europeans are just waiting on a strong man to lead their superpower.
They won’t have long to wait.


Government officials may continue to keep the Israeli strike shrouded in
mystery, but the problem won’t go away. The Middle East is rapidly
getting worse and everybody knows it. We are getting frighteningly close
to World War iii.


Today we have nuclear megabombs—thousands of times more powerful than
the atom bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan. Those tiny
bombs (by comparison to our nukes today) caused Japan to surrender
quickly in World War ii.


So what is the solution? Is there any hope that mankind can survive?


If we only look to men and women, there is no hope!


Here is the giant paradox. Journalists and politicians keep referring to
the Book of Revelation and to Armageddon to show us how serious the
danger is, but they never seem to discuss the conclusion of Armageddon.
The hope and the solution are embedded in the Armageddon statement. Read
Revelation 16. Armageddon is in the context of God’s wrath because of
our sins. We will only escape that wrath if we conquer our sins.


It is God who gathers those armies to Armageddon! (Revelation 16:15-16).
And He commands you: “Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” It is our
shameful spiritual nakedness that fills God with wrath! If we remove
that shame, we don’t have to fear nuclear war!


If people are going to continually invoke the word Armageddon, they
ought to understand the conclusion of that bloody scene! Armageddon is
concluded by the coming of the Messiah! Even if we don’t remove our
shame, He is still coming. That is what Armageddon is all about. Those
armies in Armageddon are going to be brought to Jerusalem to fight the
Messiah.


This is a biblical prophecy that should cause us to stop and ponder.
Before it’s over, the Valley of Jehoshaphat—which runs between the Old
City of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives—will flow with blood up to the
horses’ bridles! That valley is where most of the soldiers of Armageddon
will die.


This is how people must learn lessons if they won’t heed the Bible’s
message today. But human nature is rebellious and extremely self-willed.
People usually have to learn the hard way.


Thankfully, all of this devastation will end with the greatest news this
world and even the universe has ever experienced! And it all follows on
the heels of Armageddon. •

For whichever direction one chooses to look, north, south or east of us, trouble - major trouble - is brewing. Inspite of all the frensy and chickens running around with their heads cut off and puppets on strings; I am praising the Lord that I can still sit here with my coffee and ponder and come by here to see what ya all think....????INPUT???.....knowing that our God has a PLAN! As long as Americans have $$$ in their pocket, t.V.,, cell phones, and fastfood, I don't think they care what is happening in the world. The warning signs are all over, yet who wishes to see them? Israel's foes are gearing up for war, and it's time that we opened our eyes to the danger that confronts us. The conflict may be just weeks or even months away, or perhaps a bit longer. How it will start is anyone's guess, but make no mistake, a major outbreak of hostilities is almost certainly around the corner. If this sounds like an advanced case of paranoia to you, just take a glance at the newspapers from the past few weeks. If you read them with a discerning eye, you will see exactly what I mean.

Report: Damascus eliminating evidence from bombing site - www.ynetnews.com

Syrians have begun dismantling remains of site struck by Israel last month in what may be attempt to prevent location from coming under international scrutiny, Washington Post reports, quoting US and foreign officials familiar with aftermath of attack

WASHINGTON - Syria has begun dismantling the remains of a site Israel bombed on September 6, the Washington Post reported Friday, quoting US and foreign officials familiar with the aftermath of the attack.

According to the report, the Syrians may be attempting to prevent the location from coming under international scrutiny.

The dismantling of the damaged site, which appears to be still underway, could make it difficult for weapons inspectors to determine the precise nature of the facility and how Syria planned to use it, the Washington Post said.

Based on overhead photography, the officials told the paper that the site in Syria's eastern desert near the Euphrates River had a "signature" or characteristics of a small but substantial nuclear reactor, one similar in structure to North Korea's facilities.

According to the report, the bombed facility is different from the one Syria displayed to journalists last week to back its allegations that Israel had bombed an essentially an empty building, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity because details of the Israeli attack are classified.

While US officials express increasing confidence that the Syrian facility was nuclear-related, divisions persist within the government and among weapons experts over the significance of the threat.

According to the Washington Post, while expressing concern over the prospect that Syria may have decided to launch a nuclear program in secret, some weapons experts question why neither Israel nor the United States made any effort before the secret attack – or in the six weeks since – to offer evidence to the International Atomic Energy Agency, a move that would trigger an inspection of Syria by the nuclear watchdog.

But John R. Bolton, the Bush administration's former ambassador to the United Nations, said Syria's secrecy – including its apparent move to clean up the site after the bombing – suggests that Damascus is pursuing a strategy similar to that of Iran, which the Bush administration believes is pursuing a nuclear weapons capability, the report said.

"The common practice for people with legitimate civilian nuclear power programs is to be transparent, because they have nothing to hide," Bolton said.

According to the Washington Post, some experts speculate that Israeli and US officials may have calculated that reporting their intelligence to the IAEA would have produced only limited repercussions, the equivalent of a diplomatic slap on the wrist to Syria, which might have decided to build the facility anyway.

Foreign sources familiar with the attack told the paper Israel wanted to send a strong message to Iran about the price of developing a secret nuclear program. Israel is increasingly alarmed about Iran's intentions and frustrated that the international community has not persuaded Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program.

Israel and the US continue to refrain from officially addressing the Israeli airstrike. US President George W. Bush was asked about it several times during press conferences he held at the White House and refused to comment, as did Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who was asked about the attack by American reporters he met during his visit to the US this week.

UN nuclear agency examines Syria images - www.news.yahoo.com

U.N. experts have received satellite imagery of the site struck last month by Israeli warplanes and are analyzing it for signs that it might have been a secret nuclear facility, diplomats said Friday.

One of the diplomats indicated that the photos came from U.S intelligence. Two others said the images, which have been studied by experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency since being received on Thursday, do not at first examination appear to substantiate reports that the target was a nuclear installation, but emphasized that the images were still under examination.

The diplomats, who were briefed on the agency's receipt of the images, spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because their information was confidential. Officials of the Vienna-based nuclear watchdog had no comment.

Since the Sept. 6 bombing, news media have quoted unidentified U.S. officials as saying that the airstrike hit some sort of nuclear facility linked to North Korea, which is now in the process of dismantling its nuclear weapons program. On Friday, The Washington Post cited American officials as saying the site in Syria's eastern desert near the Euphrates River had characteristics of a small but substantial nuclear reactor similar to North Korea's facility.

The investigation by the IAEA — the U.N. nuclear watchdog — is crucial because it is the first instance of an independent and respected organization looking at the evidence and trying to reach a conclusion as to what was hit.

Syria denies that it has an undeclared nuclear program — it has said that the Israelis targeted an empty building — and the agency has said it has no evidence to the contrary.

The diplomats said that Vienna-based Syrian diplomats have met with senior IAEA representatives since the bombing but have provided no substantive information that would indicate their country has nuclear secrets.

Syria has signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and has allowed agency experts to inspect its only known nuclear facility — a small, 27-kilowatt reactor, according to diplomats linked to the IAEA.

And a lot of this reportedly came from Iraq before the war.

I do not worry at all about the nukes.
No matter what devices man makes, Gods intervention will be stunning.
So when the moment draws near, grab the Word and fix your eyes on Yahweh and Jesus.
Wielding the shield (properly) is a garantee for Salvation.

In the vision I hear the loudest bang in history accompanied by a flash over all Earth.
But I do not die, curiously. That is where I lost all fear and saw the AWE of Gods plan.

I seriously hope that ye may understand.

You are in a truly sad state of affairs, and you have no idea what it is you are talking about. You are right about the end coming though...can't wait until God reclaims this world and Jesus reigns and the unrepented and unbelieving are removed!!! ...soon. You don't need to die in your sins, you can accept the gospel of Jesus Christ at face value and repent before God and ask His forgiveness...while you still can.

But I doubt you will ever forget what has been told to you.

Don't let that be a bitter memory.

Thanks! I love it when confirmation comes through angered demons who obviously know their time is running out.
With the demon I of course NOT meant the person, but the evil thought engine inside the person.
For the person we can only pray that he may be saved. Amen.

So many voices of the apocalypse here; it must not be easy raising children with such a dark future. I read through Shekel's warning and am always amazed by ambiguous sources and those who would believe such alarmist babel. But you will just lump me in with GIRJWNC (who is as alarmist himself and out right rude) or somebody like Rosie O'Donnell (whom I abhor).

I'm not here to fool anyone, I'm a non-believer. I am a former Christian and still have many I love who are wonderful Christians.

I am only concerned as a father and as a citizen of this great country or ours; why so much worry about the end of times? If the Rapture comes and you are correct, wouldn't simply a Christ-like life be enough for you to be ready? Does any of this seem like spending every day of your life contemplating your immanent death (because we all have a date in the future)?

Why do I care? Because if you are convinced that the end of times are immanent, it will effect the way you behave. While we can agree to disagree, I'm certainly not here to tell you that you are wrong, I would only ask that we spend more of our time improving the present as opposed to promoting stories about the end. If you are right, it will come. This alarmist speculation is not winning any souls to heaven my friends. b

How or why are you a "former" Christian? How did you become a Christian in the first place? smile.gif
God's Lamb
Hello Logicandreason smile.gif

Did you reject Jesus Christ or Chrisianity (denominations)?

It is never easy to raise children in a fallen society.....especially today when evil is called good, and good is called evil.

The world has become an evil and dangerous place to live. For people in other parts of the world....they are starving, murdered for their faith, tortured just for the fun it...

The utopia that the secular world dreams of having, and keeps trying to build or make down through history, slips through their fingers. Every utopia has turn into a dictatorship.....many promises are made, and in the end all promises are broken. The elite, keep doing this to the people of the world time and time again, and it seems each generation keeps falling for it.

Most people want peace. Most want to live their lives and watch their children grow. Most want and need a roof over their head, a place to sleep and eat. To live without war and constant fear.
The problem is a "sin" issue and the world rejects the one and only "Savior". In the past where Christianity flurished, social changes were made, to help people come out of the guttor of pagan life. Schools, hospitals and etc were built, people were taught to feed themselves, dig wells, and etc.

The Western world as we know it is fighting a war on two fronts......physical and spiritual. Muslims are on a Global march......all you have to do is look at Europe, Canada, and now the USA to see that soon we will be outnumbered, and being that we are so political correct, we can't name the enemy because this would be considered a "hate crime". Yet, like a black plague they are spreading for the most part quietly across the face of the earth......while the news media....keeps a lid on this movement.

We are at the point of no return. Time as Gentiles know it, is running out of the hour glass. The Time of the Gentiles is almost complete. When it's done.....the ball is back in the Jewish court.....and the game will be played out as God has said in His Word, the Bible.

All one has to do is look around.......in any direction.....be it land, sea or air......we are running out of drinking water, fresh water. Our seas are poluted, and species dying and the same goes for land animals and birds. Bees are dying, bats are dying.....we need bees to pollenate the things we eat, we need bats to eat the bugs and mosquitios (which spread plagues), the grasslands in the USA that has normally feed our live stock that is raised to feed us here in the USA is turning into a dust bowl. The wheat and corn and rice the main stables for most people is disappearing due to weather changes, old dieases are re-appearing, and new suprer bugs are developing that are resistent to medicine. We are choking off the air supply in the world especially in South America, and China and India will not rein in or stop the polutation in their countries. Even if the whole world stopped air polution except China and India, we'd still die off due to the populations of China and India exploding....food, air, oil, water all these things we are running out of.......

Yes. We are in the End of days, the end times and yet the worst is yet to come! That is Tribulation.....

Jesus Christ is still the way, the life and the truth! He is returning the question is ....will you be ready?

God Bless <>< wub.gif
