Mideast-Syria_Horo1-635x357The Times of Israel: “According to a Lebanese report on Friday, embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad plans to open a “resistance” front on the Golan Heights and thinks such a move could unify the various factions in Syria.

Syrian society’s involvement in the “resistance” against Israel — according to statements attributed to Assad and allegedly made to recent visitors at his presidential palace in Damascus — would unite the homefront.”

Opinion: And there you go. We’ve been saying that for months, the one enemy that both sides (Sunni and Shia) can agree on is Israel.

On one side, the Alawite party of the Assad government has the support of Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. On the other side is the Sunni faction that has US and Muslim Brotherhood (al-Qaeda) support.

Look how impossible this is. Just two days ago on an open mic MB official Magdi Ahmad Hussein, with Mohamed Morsi in the room, declared the US/Israel was their enemy. Yesterday, the Obama administration agreed to send lethal support to the moderate groups of the Muslim brotherhood.

But Israel is another matter. If there are any moderate groups in the MB, a deceptive adjective, there are none who are moderate toward Israel. PM Netanyahu is well aware of this ancient foe. In 168 BC Antiochus Epiphanes attacked and killed tens of thousands of Jews, desecrated the Jewish Temple which caused the first Abomination of Desolation (Daniel 8:11-12) by setting a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies and prohibiting orthodox forms of Jewish worship.

In 1973, (Yom Kippur war) Syria and Egypt led a coalition of Arab states launching a surprise attack on Israel. Forty-six years ago in May of 1967, Syria, Egypt and Jordan were overwhelmed when Israel in a pre-empted attack (mirroring the Jews’ attack on the Persians in the Book of Esther) took back the Golan Heights, Gaza, Sinai and East Jerusalem in a stunning six day victory.

What hangs in the balance is the prophecy of Isaiah 17:1, 14 which we believe could be the spark that ignites the war of Psalm 83:1-8.

Fox News: “U.S. officials announced Thursday that the Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime has used chemical weapons against his opposition, killing up to 150 people in the last year and crossing what President Barack Obama has called a “red line” that would lead to greater American involvement in the crisis.

Following a deliberative review, our intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year.  Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information.  The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date; however, casualty data is likely incomplete.”

Opinion: Bashar Assad, like a school yard bully, is testing the US to see just how much he can get away with. Last night, the Obama administration announced that they would supply moderate rebels with lethal aid.

Here’s a thought, we could ask the moderate rebels to recite the Boy Scout oath and not to share the weapons with the bad guys … Scout’s honor.

TEgypt-Magdi-Ahmad-Husseinhe Blaze: “Unaware that their words were being broadcast live on a state-owned television channel, many of those seated around the table said the dam was in fact a secret American and Israeli plot to undermine Egypt that must be stopped at all costs.

The participants learned they were on live TV only after Magdi Ahmad Hussein, chairman of the Islamic Labor Party, suggested that all present vow not to leak any information to the media. Before being told he was on television, Hussein described the U.S. as an enemy [emphasis added]:

‘I’m very fond of battles. With the enemies, of course – with America and Israel, but this battle must be waged with maximum judiciousness and calm. Even though this is a secret meeting, we must all take an oath not to leak anything to the media, unless it is done officially by sister Pakinam [el-Sharkawy, a Morsi aide]. We need an official plan for popular national security, even if we…’ “

Opinion: The dynamic here is that the US supported the Muslim Brotherhood beginning in 2009. By 2011, they were in control of Egypt, a nation of 80-90 million Islamic people. Libya has fallen to MB sub-groups, as has Mali, while Syria is up for grabs.

The most dominant sub-group of the Brotherhood is al-Qaeda, of which the Obama administration says is all but destroyed. If that were so, why would the US be considering sending lethal arms to support them in Syria?

In the past year we have seen a video of Egypt’s president praying for Allah to destroy the Jews. We have heard anti-Israel rhetoric from numerous Egyptian clerics, we have documented persecution on Egypt’s Christian community including church burnings and torture on the Coptic citizens, and meanwhile we continue to send F16 fighter jets, Abrams tanks and $1.3 billion in taxpayer funds.

The final wars of mankind all involve Egypt, which the prophet Daniel 11:40 calls ‘the king of the South’. In order for Egypt to fulfill its pre-appointed destiny, a superpower would be needed to supply cash and arms. That, it seems … would be us.
