BIBLE PROPHECY TRACKER

JPost:
Netanyahu noted that Hamas is getting stronger in Egypt and has moved to run its operations from Syria to Egypt following anti-Assad uprisings there. “Egypt has had difficulties exercising its sovereignty over Sinai. We saw this in the two gas pipe explosions that occurred there,” Netanyahu said. “What’s happening in Sinai is that global terrorist organizations are meddling there and their presence is increasing because of the connection between Sinai and Gaza.”

Opinion:
The Sinai is strategically located as a desert buffer to the south. Israel’s buffer on the north is the Golan Heights, on the east the Jordan River and to the West is the Mediterranean sea. Going back to the pre-1967 borders would eliminate these God-made protective buffers which is exactly what Israel’s growing list of enemies want.

It is easier to count Israel’s friends than enemies. Go ahead, try and guess who their friends are. No friend would want a friend to be open to attack, so that eliminates the US. A friendly nation would put their embassy in their friend’s capital, not the US. A friend would stand up for a friend and never let the friend’s capital and holiest sites be cut in two pieces, again not the US. In fact the only friend of Israel that easily comes to mind is Canada.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-10  says ”Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.”

 After September’s UN vote on Palestinian statehood, Israel’s friends and enemies will be obvious.

Haaretz:
“Diplomats involved in Middle East discussions at the G8 summit said Canada had insisted that no mention of Israel’s pre-1967 borders be made in the leaders’ final communique, even though most of the other leaders wanted a mention. The Canadians were really very adamant, even though Obama expressly referred to 1967 borders in his speech last week (May 19).”

Opinion:
Thank God for the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper. At least one world leader has the courage to stand up for Israel. He and the Canadian people will be blessed. But what about the US and God’s promises in Genesis 12:3?
 
Few nations in history have experienced God’s blessing like the US. “In 1993, the United States burdened itself with Jerusalem when it forced Israel into the land for peace formula formalized in the Oslo Accords. At the time, the United States was at the zenith of its power, wealth and international prestige. The US had just led the largest international alliance since World War II in a successful war against Iraq to secure the liberation of Kuwait, winning the Cold War in the process. By 2000, Israel had lost everything it had gained in the five preceding wars and was prepared to trade away Jerusalem when Yasser Arafat invoked a new uprising. The following year, the United States was attacked by the forces of radical Islam and has been steadily cut into pieces since.” Omega Letter March 29, 2010

Fast forward to May 2011 and strap yourself in. Economically, the US dollar is crumbling and there is a global outcry for a replacement of it as the world’s reserve currency. The Federal Reserve is on the second round of QE or buying back our own debt, pumping fiat money into banks to create the illusion of a strong stock market. Inflation statistics are created by the government to calm fears but the real inflation figures are 4 times higher than reported. Gas is near $4.00 per gallon. We are officially out of money with record deficit spending as the government hit the debt ceiling in May. We are now borrowing from federal pensions to pay the government’s bills while Congress decides if there is any way to cut spending. Our military is stretched, our equipment and fighter jets are aging and the government is planning to slash defense spending. Oh, did I mention that Iran is building the bomb and interfering throughout the ME at will. One more, Egypt is dissolving into an Islamist state while all of America’s traditional alliances are crumbling before our eyes.

The fate of the nations in the last days is dependent on how they treat Israel. Canada’s government is standing up for Israel while the US government is not. “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of my people and my inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and they have divided up my land” Joel 3:2

The speech that will divide that land was given on May 19. Pass the aspirin.

  A Day of Rememberance

WSJ Op-Ed:
“Were Assad to fall, a key link in Iran’s strategic chain across the region would be broken. While Iran could possibly find work-arounds to supply Hezbollah, such as by sea or air, it would lose both strategic depth and an eager ally. Furthermore, if protesters in Syria were to inspire Iran’s own democracy activists to redouble their efforts, the Iranian regime would find itself in serious peril. Thus it is unsurprising that it has dispatched the Quds Force to help Assad stop the Arab Spring at his doorstep.”

Opinion:
Iran produces 3.5 million barrels per day and at roughly 100.00 per barrel provides enough  income to supply both Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria and rogue terrorists groups with arms. Bashar Assad is really important to Iran. According to the US Institute for Peace ”For Iran, the ouster of President Bashar Assad in Syria would arguably be the most significant setback since the end of its eight-year war with Iraq in 1988 and possibly even since its 1979 revolution. Regime change would be a major blow for both Iran’s ideological and foreign policy goals.” 

Syria and its capital, Damascus, have an appointment with Bible prophecy. Isaiah 17:1 “ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:14 says it will happen overnight.
