Fox News: “Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, criticized what he called an “unfortunate decision that will embolden the regime and prolong the suffering.” He spoke at a news conference after the New York Times reported that Russia recently delivered an advanced version of Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles to Syria.

“It’s ill-timed and very unfortunate,” Dempsey said.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also urged Russia to rethink its military aid, saying that the U.S. and Russia both wanted to stabilize Syria after more than two years of civil war but that the Kremlin’s military support makes the situation even more dangerous.

Opinion: Mr. Secretary, Russia did rethink its military aid and sent heavy duty war ships to the area. Gog, uh I mean, Putin, knows a weak hand when he sees one. The red line that President Obama drew is a non-starter.

But this action from Russia has significant implications as far as Bible prophecy is concerned. Daniel 11:40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.”

In the early verses of Daniel 11, the prophet tells of war and strife between the king of the south (Egypt) and the king of the north (Syria).

But in verse 40 the kings have expanded their armies and their joint enemy is anti-Christ. Egypt’s army will acquire South African nations while Syria, having been mostly destroyed after the war of Psalm 83, will be in the hands of a Northern Alliance led by Gog, a prince of Russia (Ezekiel 38:2).

Both kings will be joined by the kings of the East and will fight against anti-Christ in the final battle of Armageddon.

Zechariah 14:3-6 gives the outcome.

rac_safwat_higaziJPost: “Egypt’s Islamists aim to install a global Islamic caliphate with its capital in  Jerusalem, a radical Muslim preacher told thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in a clip released Monday.

We can see how the dream of the Islamic caliphate is being realized, God willing, by Dr. Mohamed Mursi.”

Opinion: Jerusalem as the center of world government is right in line with Bible prophecy. In 550 BC, the prophet Daniel wrote of this Kingdom in Jerusalem, but it will be ruled by Jesus Christ not an Islamic caliphate (Daniel 7: 13-14).

Zechariah 12:2-3 teaches that Jerusalem will be coveted by all nations and become a ”cup of drunkenness” and that the armies of the world will surround the city. Luke 21:22 calls it “the days of vengeance (Tribulation), that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”

In 750 BC the prophet Isaiah wrote ”He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares,  And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore” Isaiah 2:4.

220px-John_Bolton_by_Gage_SkidmoreWorld Net Daily: “As Mr. Hicks said, the YouTube video was a non-event for us in Libya. He said all the embassies reporting from the get-go was that it was a terrorist attack.  He said that he had said this to Secretary Clinton when she called him at 2 a.m. his time,” Bolton said. “So there was no question here of conflicting intelligence, no question here of what the White House calls the fog of war. You don’t need intelligence reports when you can talk to your own employees in the State Department and other agencies who were right there on the ground. That’s why I think not just the rewriting of the talking points but the entire  administration approach, including what Secretary of State Clinton said and including what the president said at the United Nations about the Muhammad video, were false and known to be false right from the outset.”

Bolton said it seems increasingly clear that the story of the YouTube video was a political concoction designed to minimize the damage of Benghazi during the final stretches of a presidential campaign. As bad as that sounds, he said the only other plausible explanation would be far worse.

“It was either a political cover-up or it was a demonstration of willful ideological blindness, the refusal to see facts that contradicted their theology that the war on terror was over,” Bolton said. For the security and safety of  our country, I hope that the explanation is that it was a political cover-up, because that you can expose and fix. But if it’s an ideological blindness and an unwillingness to see terrorism for what it is, we’ve got four more years of it in front of us.”

Opinion: Ambassador Bolton is being kind. When you define the Fort Hood massacre as ‘work place violence’, when you invite a Muslim cleric to pray (in Arabic) at a funeral service for 15 Navy Seals, when you display complete disregard for American life at Benghazi and combine that with the unwillingness to acknowledge the radical Islamic terror at the Boston bombing, a really sinister picture begins to emerge.

But Bolton, Huckabee, Rush, Sean and Savage can’t do it alone. Their audience only reaches conservatives while the mainstream Obama press molds and shapes the vast majority of public thinking. CNN’s front page this morning reads “They’re alive but how will they live? Lessons for Cleveland’s victims.”

We have written many posts about lies and deception being hallmarks of the last days. Matthew 24:4, Luke 21:8 and 2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12 tell us that these are the first signs to watch for, but the verse that keeps coming to mind today is Matthew 7:16.

The American people have one last opportunity to stop this radical ideology by letting our voices be heard.  We may never get another chance.
