Israel says hits 2/3 of Hizbollah's heavy missiles Mon Jul 31, 10:40 AM ET



Israeli forces have destroyed an estimated two thirds of Hizbollah's long-range missile capabilities, a senior government official told Reuters on Monday.

The Iranian-supplied Zelzal-2 missiles have been Israel's main strategic concern during an a 20-day-old fight with the Lebanese guerrilla group. They have a range of 200 km (125 miles) and are believed capable of carrying biological or chemical warheads.

"We know how many of them we destroyed and we know how many they shot," the senior government official said.

"But one third (left undestroyed) is a lot. that can cause a lot of damage if they are launched," the official said.

In fiery speech, Olmert says there will be no ceasefire in the coming days
By israelinsider staff and partners July 31, 2006


Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Monday evening that there would be no cease-fire in the coming days. "Israel is continuing to fight," Olmert said in an address to the nation.

He said the IDF offensive in southern Lebanon would end only after Hezbollah ceases firing rockets into Israel and the two soldiers abducted on July 12 are returned.

"We will stop the war when the [rocket] threat is removed..., our captive soldiers return home in peace, and you are able to live in safety and security," Olmert said, addressing the mayors of northern towns.

There is a large Israeli offensive getting ready to roll out on Wednesday

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



There is a large Israeli offensive getting ready to roll out on Wednesday. It will broaden the war throughout most of Lebanon.
They used the first incursion just to learn how Hezzbollah would fight. They are using that information to roll out a major offensive.

This war is just beginning. It will ramp up very quickly.

This first report came to me via a subscription Global Intelligence report by an IDF Spokesman.

Fox News is now reporting according to Medic the same kind of information.

Raise readiness, Assad tells Syrian Army 41 minutes ago



DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the Syrian military on Monday to raise its readiness, pledging not to abandon support for Lebanese resistance against Israel.

"We are facing international circumstances and regional challenges that require caution, alert, readiness and preparedness," Assad said.

"The barbaric war of annihilation the Israeli aggression is waging on our people in Lebanon and Palestine is increasing in ferocity," Assad said in a written address on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the foundation of the Syria Arab Army.

Diplomats in Damascus say the Syrian army has been on alert since the Israeli onslaught on Lebanon began on July 12 after Hizbollah fighters captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border operation.

What's Wrong With Picture
If you have Fox News channel, you know how fast the words along the bottom scroll across the screen. What are the odds of catching a sentence -- let alone a particularly revealing sentence? Well, I apparently did. And, it was completely by accident.
After reading the bottom sentence, read the larger words above that I was really after -- the words explaining the message that's being delivered by Secretary of State Rice. Here's my point: If Israel needs two more weeks to defeat her mortal enemy Hezbollah, why is Rice -- who has been Israel's strongest supporter in this crisis -- suddenly seeking a cease-fire?
Perhaps here we find our clue.
I happened across the French Ambassador to the UN speaking after yesterday's emergency session in New York. Two things caught my attention. The first thing I noticed was that it was Sunday. The second was the alarm revealed in the French Ambassador's conversation with the reporter. Although I didn't catch all his words, the Ambassador expressed his concerns how the current Middle East crisis could spread throughout the entire Islamic world all the way to China. And, as he named the countries to which the crisis could spread, he provided the numbers of the peoples that could potentially become involved. I forgot the numbers. But, what I specifically remember, the numbers he gave as he got to China were the highest.
Let's take a look at what caused the French Ambassador such noticeable stress and what caused Rice to suddenly call for a cease-fire.
In order to understand what's really going on in the Middle East, Fox News turned to former Secretary of State Henry Kissenger. Whether they like him or not, people in the know consider Kissenger one of the world's greatest diplomats. If anyone knows what's going on, it's Kissenger. And, Kissenger wasted no time pointing his seasoned finger directly at Iran, and Iran's continuing nuclear standoff with the so-called "six powers."
Let's put this together. Israel was evidently suckered into bombing a building where over fifty civilians -- half of whom were women and children -- and suddenly a cartoon intifada style civil unrest sprung up in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan and Iran. The reason I say "cartoon intifada style" is, as it turned out was the case with the cartoon intifada, it's becoming obvious the response in the streets to the Israeli bombing in Qana may have been coordinated.
If so, this brings up the question who coordinated the uprising. Again, the finger may point to Iran. In fact, it turns out the Hezbollah leader who ordered the cross border attack against Israel may actually be hiding in the Iranian Embassy in Beirut.
Now, let's put this together again, but this time from the perspective of Bible prophecy. The most interesting part to me is the alarm in the French Ambassador. You see, France is one of the most important elements in the 10-nation Western European Union (WEU) alliance. France is both a nuclear power and one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. So, what's a concern for France, is a concern for the entire WEU alliance. And, if the UN convened an emergency session on a Sunday over what's going on in the streets of the Middle East, you can bet that France and the WEU alliance is conferring about the crisis too.
So, it's no wonder that France is pushing the Finish EU Presidency to support Javier Solana's peace efforts in the crisis. Solana, as you may know, is not only the EU's High Representative and future super Foreign Minister, Solana is also Secretary General of the WEU 10-nation alliance.
What we're witnessing is biblical. If these events continue in there current direction, the fear is the entire Western world -- including Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Russia and many others -- could be swept into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. So, Iran must be stopped.
But, what if Iran can't be stopped? What then? If these events can't be stopped, the only solution left to the world may be an attempt to elimination the flip side of their problem -- the State of Israel. Unfortunately, such an attempt is what the Bible actually predicts. And, that's what's wrong with the picture.
I wonder how I caught that sentence?

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
Syrian group claims it attacked Israel
New organization says it will stage more assaults against Jewish state

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: July 31, 2006
5:44 p.m. Eastern

© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com


TEL AVIV – A group claiming to operate out of Syria took credit today for what it said was an attack against Israeli troops operating near the Syria-Israel border, according to a source in Syrian President Bashar Assad's Ba'ath party.

The claim preceded statements from Assad today warning Syria would not be deterred from helping Lebanon.


The group, calling itself the Front for the Liberation of the Golan, faxed a letter to Ba'ath party officials stating it planted a roadside bomb that targeted an Israeli army jeep today, killing one Israeli soldier.

A spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces said no soldiers were killed or injured today near the Israel-Syrian border.

A mine did reportedly explode on the Syrian side of the border, but no injuries were reported among Israeli troops. It wasn't clear what caused the explosion. Military officials have warned the past few weeks Hezbollah may fire into Syria in attempts to draw Damascus into a confrontation with Israel.

Israel is operating in select areas close to the Syrian border at positions near Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights. Israeli officials say the Syrian army has been placed on high alert along the border with Israel and Lebanon, but it hasn't staged any attacks.

Israel captured the Golan Heights, a strategic mountainous territory, after Syria used the terrain to attack the Jewish state in 1967 and again in 1973. It borders Israel, Syria and Lebanon.

Israeli security officials said they had no information about the Front for the Liberation of the Golan.

The Ba'ath party official told WND the Front formed last month and will attempt attacks against Israelis. The official said the group claims to consist of "hundreds" of Syrian volunteers, many from the Syrian border with Turkey.

The claim by the Front was followed by statements today from Assad in which he instructed the Syrian army to "be prepared for all scenarios because we believe that falling for the sake of heaven (martyrdom) is the only way to freedom and victory.

"Syria, which stood by its brother (Lebanon) and sacrificed martyrs to defend Lebanon's freedom as we did for Syria's sovereignty, remains as always adamant in standing by our Arab people who's fighting in Lebanon and Palestine, and by the bold national resistance who struck the enemy. All threats voiced by powers in the world who support t he enemy won't deter us from continuing to support our brothers."

Syria, along with Iran, is a primary sponsor of Hezbollah. Israel says Syria has been allowing weaponry, including thousands of rockets, to be transported from its borders to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The leaders of Palestinian terror groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, operate openly from Damascus.

Syria is also accused by the U.S. of allowing insurgents to cross through its borders to attack American troops in Iraq. There have been reports of Syria providing weapons and intelligence information to the insurgents.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz have stated dozens of times since the Jewish state started its military campaign against Hezbollah July 12 that Israel has no intention of acting against Syria.

Manage Alerts | What Is This? JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israel's Security Cabinet has approved an expansion of the ground campaign against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office announced early Tuesday.

The announcement came hours after Olmert said Monday there would be no cease-fire in the coming days.

"Quite a few days of fighting are still before us," Olmert told a conference of local officials.

"We will stop the war when the [rocket] threat is removed ..., our captive soldiers return home in peace, and you are able to live in safety and security."

"We are paying a very precious and almost unbearable price in terms of loss of life, major damage to public and private property and tranquility -- and we're not prepared to give up our right to live perfectly ordinary lives, which are not subject to terrorism and hate and fanaticism," Olmert said.

He said Hezbollah has suffered a "heavy blow" in the fighting. Israeli troops and airstrikes have inflicted serious damage to Hezbollah's capacity to launch rockets into Israel, and its supply routes from Syria have been hampered, he said.

Other developments on Monday pointed to a lengthening of the 20-day-old conflict.

The United Nations Security Council postponed indefinitely a meeting on setting up a new peacekeeping force for the area.

President Bush said Monday there could be no cease-fire until Hezbollah was reined in and international borders respected, reiterating the U.S. stance on the conflict. (Watch Bush call for 'a cease-fire that will last' -- 3:22)

Meanwhile, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television station claimed Hezbollah missiles hit an Israeli warship. An Israeli security source said no Israeli vessel had been hit, according to Reuters news service.

Reuters also reported that Hezbollah said the attack was retaliation for Sunday's bombing of Qana, Lebanon, that killed at least 54 civilians. ( Watch how the massive blast made a sanctuary into a tomb -- 4:45 )

The airstrike -- which killed many children and sparked international outrage -- threatened to derail work toward a resolution in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.

Israel has called the Qana airstrike a tragic mistake, and Olmert apologized for the pain the Lebanese people have endured. But he added, "We are fighting terrorists who know no bounds."

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday directed his country's military to heighten its readiness, vowing to back Lebanese resistance against Israel, the state news agency SANA reported Monday.

U.N. talks on hold
At the United Nations, a Security Council meeting on planning for a new peacekeeping force had been delayed "until there is more political clarity" on the path ahead in the Middle East conflict, Reuters news agency reported

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan had called the meeting last Friday, but the world's major powers have said no force can be put in place until fighting stops and Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah agree to its deployment, Reuters reported.

And Israel's defense minister told the nation's parliament it would increase military pressure against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Despite an agreement to stop airstrikes for 48 hours, Israel dropped bombs in southern Lebanon on Monday.

In its agreement, Israel had reserved the right to hit targets that it considered an immediate threat. (Watch Lebanese town heavily damaged -- :44)

But the Israeli army said Monday's strikes near the Lebanese village of Tayba were meant to protect ground forces operating in the border area and were not aimed at specific targets.

The Israeli military expressed regret that one of the strikes hit a Lebanese military vehicle outside Tyre, Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Forces said it was unclear how many people were killed. Earlier, a senior Lebanese Interior Ministry official said the airstrike killed an aide to a Lebanese general and wounded three soldiers. The general survived the attack, the official said.

The IDF said it thought the car was carrying a senior Hezbollah militant involved in directing rocket fire on Israel.

Israeli troops enter village
Also Monday, Israeli troops entered the southern Lebanese village of Aita Al-Shaab, according to the IDF.

"There is an operation going on over there -- this is the first time troops have been in this area," an Israeli army spokesman told Reuters.

Hezbollah said its guerrillas were engaging the advancing force in fierce fighting, Reuters reported.

Earlier Monday, the IDF said its aircraft fired on open fields surrounding its ground forces in the Tayba area. Three Israeli soldiers in the area suffered minor injuries after Hezbollah fighters hit their tank with a missile, an Israeli army spokesman said.

Two Hezbollah rockets hit in an open area of the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on Monday, but no casualties were reported, Israeli police officials said. The firings marked the first Hezbollah rocket attacks into northern Israel from southern Lebanon in a day. Police officials said 134 Hezbollah rockets slammed into the Jewish state on Sunday, injuring 48.

The conflict began July 12 when Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers and killed three others in a cross-border raid.

Israeli airstrikes and artillery have pounded Lebanon since then, leaving nearly 500 people dead, Lebanese Internal Security Forces said. Hezbollah has responded by firing scores of rockets a day into northern Israel, killing at least 18 Israeli civilians, according to IDF.

Clashes with Hezbollah have left 33 Israeli troops dead, IDF said. Hezbollah's casualties were not known.

Bush, speaking in Florida on Monday, said Israel had the right to defend itself and called on Iran and Syria to stop aiding Hezbollah.

"Iran must end its financial support and supply of weapons to terrorist groups like Hezbollah," Bush said. "Syria must end its support for terror and respect the sovereignty of Lebanon." (Full story)

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, speaking earlier Monday, said she believed a resolution to the crisis could be reached this week. (Full story)

In New York, Olmert's deputy, Shimon Peres, said Israel's problem is with Hezbollah's Syrian and Iranian backers, not Lebanon.

"Though Hezbollah is a Lebanese body, they don't serve any Lebanese purpose," he said. Their purpose, he said, is to "make Lebanon part of the sphere of influence of Iran." (Full story)

This article....I would say is not 100% acurate.....because, Israel is not dwelling in safty, and her walls are not defenced.............this time of peace...even though it is a persuado peace must exist first before the Ezekial war can come to pass.....with that in mind.....watch Javier Solona's peace negotiating skills closely.................But before it is all said and done with....."WE ARE OUTTA HERE!!!
.......................................................................................................................08/01/06
Lets say that the Bible Code is correct for August 3rd, 2006. Iran and Syria come into the conflict and Israel strikes back. What could the scenario look like? I can easily surmise that Iran has convinced Assad to take his Syrian forces and attack Israel with the promise that Iran would back up the attack. Iran, not caring about Muslim blood would also then convince Syria to launch SCUD missiles that include chemical warheads. Further, Iran will enclose a nuclear weapon bought off of North Korea or the former USSR to light up the sky above Tel Aviv. Iran knows that Israel will respond and that response will include nuclear weapons upon Damascus and parts of Iran. The day after Israel's response, a supernova explodes, creating a sign in the sky indicating the end-times are now upon the Earth. China and Russia, not willing to permit Israel and the U.S. to control the Middle east, launch their own battle plans in coming to Iran's aid. At the same time, Chavez starts an oil embargo on the U.S. and sends forces across its borders to take over South America. In Korea, the North attacks the South and starts its own nuclear exchange. Nuclear weapons are detonated over the U.S. from muslim terrorists aligned with Iran, North Korea, and Russia and the U.S. is partially brought back two centuries and the anti-christ soon appears by September to create a false peace after Israel is seen to miraculously survive the attacks from many muslim nations, Russia, and Chinese elements. (A difficult story to swallow, but more plausible every day.)

HAAAAAAAAA!

I have to agree with Miki for a change...keekekekeke!!! Just kidding MIK! But lemme just RE-ITERATE one thing on this thread:



BENNY, BENNY, BENNY.......you know I love ya but this thread is starting to drive me crazy. YES, we all sense your excitement because the prophecies are in no doubt being unfolded before our very eyes.

YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR HERE!!!!!!!! BUT GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE MAY HAVE NOT HEARD NOR STUDIED THE PROPHECIES OF THE MAJOR AND MINOR PROPHETS.

BUT....SETTLE DOWN A BIT!

~~EDITING IN......I would be very suprised if this website has not reached the record amount of people who have visited or posted. The recent events that are happening now in the Middle East were foretold by prophets 2.000 years ago. We have all picked apart, interpreted and have studied these prophecies for quite a while now. To tell you the truth....it is amazing and a bit freaky!!!! My heart is happy, but troubled too.

A few days ago ....there was about 126 people on this website......probally a lot of people who may have no idea what the current world events really mean....maybe some are playing church....The Lord says;"I give them signs that they might believe......Isaiah 17 states that in those days Man will look to his Maker...............I plant a lot of seeds...........reaching out to as many as I can until The Lord calls us home......When the many, whom I have given this message of Isaiah 17;1 comes to pass....then My hopes that even the die hards too will come to the Lord......P.S..........CNN.......has just sarted the armaggeddon program............................benny

AYE!!! Just seen it!! But really, none of this is a shocking since we all have been trying to intrepret and study it. It is confirmation of WOW!!!!!! It may very well be our lifetime indeed, since now there is talks of Damascus (Syria).

Yes...For those who are students of bible prophecy.....it would not be as shocking.....Actually, we are very excited .........But it would shock and wake up many, when they came to the realization that The Lord is really really coming. ...I just read an article that stated that people are buying "End Time" books like crazy.....It's my guess that many are going to come to this website.....Pray that the Lord will give all of us wisdom and discernment .....to be there for them...To use the gift that He has given us all, and bring many to The Lord ......Today...The Lord used me......To bring a backslider back into our fold............................Praise The Name Of Jesus!........I yearn to hear The Lord say those special words to me,...When we all meet Him face to face..."Well done my faithful servant"..................................................benny

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Assad tells Syrian army to step up state of readiness and takes two further provocative steps

August 1, 2006, 1:05 AM (GMT+02:00)

Syrian military intelligence agents detonated a bomb at the Golan border fence near Kuneitra, though causing no casualties, and the Syrian president put defense minister Gen. Hassan Turkemeni in charge of military assistance to Hizballah. He also instructed chief of staff Gen. Ali Habib to personally oversee Syrian-Iranian cooperation for military consignments to Hizballah.

In his order of the day to the Syrian army, Bashar Assad wrote: “I call on all units, divisions, brigades and battalions to redouble their training efforts and maintain a high state of readiness. Remember that every drop of sweat you invest in training will save a drop of blood when the time comes.”

He added: “Threats from the ‘masters of the world’ (US and Israel) telling us to beware will not divert us from our path.”

DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources add: For three weeks, Assad has been working up to provoking a limited war engagement with Israel.

1. A close crony, Syrian lawmaker Marwan Habash is advocating the creation of a resistance (terrorist) movement on the Golan Heights - likewise the prominent cleric, Sheikh Asad Kopertou.

2. For the first time in three decades the presidential palace allowed Syrian Druze leaders to openly speak out in favor of an armed campaign to recapture the Golan Heights.

Israeli intelligence leaders are not of one mind about what these steps signify. Some diagnose posturing by Damascus to get in on the Lebanon act while not taking the chance of a missile war with Israel; others argue that the Syrian president must be angling for a limited military confrontation, otherwise he would not so blatantly parade his backing for the Hizballah.
....................................Take notice of the stated words.."when the time comes"...and also the words..."Will not divert us from our path"................What would the meaning of these words suggest to you?........................benny

The Destruction of Damascus

The Bible has predicted the utter destruction of Damascus as a city, saying that it will be in ruins (Isaiah 17:1, 2). Although ignored by the American Press, the news is now known that most of Saddam’s weapons went to Syria before the war. It has been suggested that there are over 10,000 terrorists in Damascus.

If these terrorists get VX nerve gas or some other deadly agent, and send it into Israel in missiles, causing massive deaths, be assured that Israel will strike Damascus with a weapon that would wipe out the city.

The Jewish were slaughtered like cattle in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany over 60 years ago; Israel’s military leaders will not allow their people to be killed by deadly gas again!

As for Iran ( Persia), they will, in the future, plan an attack against Israel, along with a large Islamic coalition of nations (Ezekiel 38, 39). Called the Battle of Gog and Magog, this will be the biggest and most deadly battle in Israel’s history. The Upper Golan Heights ( Bashan) will become so polluted that men will not enter the area for seven months.Upper Golan Heights ( Bashan) will become so polluted that men will not enter the area for seven months. Upper Golan Heights ( Bashan) will become so polluted that men will not enter the area for seven months. Yet, Israel will come out of the battle having destroyed all but a sixth of the enemies’ armies.

Iran and Syria need to know that the Almighty has already determined their final outcome. Your doom is sealed when you come against the nation of Israel. Radical Muslims and Arabs living inside Israel must realize that God, not man, has sent and is sending the Jews back to their homeland. After all of these years, they are not going to leave, be pushed out or destroyed. They are there to stay.

The best solution is for Arabs and Jews to learn to get along and work together as good cousins should. Remember, no one is born to hate. Hate is taught and inbred. I am praying for God to miraculously intervene at this time. Many good Christians and moderate Muslims live in Lebanon. I hate for innocent people to lose their homes, their possessions and their children.

Until the terrorists are disarmed or removed from power, however, Israel will have to deal with them with an iron fist. Hopefully, some stability will resume. However, the predictions and prophecies concerning Gaza and Damascus will one day be fulfilled. This may come sooner than we think!

Special Note: I will be preaching a detailed prophetic message, The Armageddon Code Hidden in Gideon’s Story, in Louisville. This message from God and burden on my heart will reveal more details on this and other vital prophetic parallels!

ANGELS ON THE ISRAELI BATTLEFIELD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Omega Letter Intelligence Digest
Vol: 58 Issue: 29 - Saturday, July 29, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shalu Shlom Yerushalayim

One of our members forwarded an email along that they received from Israel, with a very interesting twist to it. First, I will share the contents of the email, and then we'll discuss it.

(Begin email report) Israel lost quite a number of dead and wounded over the last several days, and this week Colonel Kline was one of those who died in the midst of battle. What was not widely reported in the media is "how he died, and what happened as a result of his death."

Klein had taken a unit of 20 Israeli soldiers into the midst of one of Lebanon's border cities where the fighting was fierce. He led his men into a courtyard that was walled up around believing it provide a place of cover and rest from enemy fire.

Suddenly, someone tossed a hand grenade out of one of the windows above them, and as it hit the ground, Klein threw his body over the hand grenade and cried out shouting: "Schema Yisrael Adoni Elohinu, Adonai Ekhad." Hear O Israel, the L-rd our G-d, the L-rd is One!

As he shouted the last words he would ever speak in this holiest of prayers He honored his G-d. The grenade blew up killing him but sparing all of his soldiers from death. Some were slightly injured from shrapnel but none had life threatening wounds because of Colonel Klein's actions.

It seems afterward some of the soldiers saw an angel standing over the lifeless body of the Colonel. Some of the wounded were taken to a hospital and wanted to speak about this but they were told to say nothing. However, some of them could not keep silent. Who could keep silent after seeing and angel?

The word got out through some of their parents. The mainstream media here has maintained silence, and the army has ordered them not to speak about their experience, but our sources are bringing us this awesome news! We are seeking to contact and go meet some of these wounded men....Pray for the L-rd to open a door to speak with those who have seen one of G-d's messengers and can now be a witness that He is real. He is alive; He is the living G-d!

Colonel Klein called upon the living G-d and gave Him glory seconds before He died saving his comrades. G-d showed up immediately and sent one of His messengers to reveal that He was there with them, and now Colonel Kline is with their G-d! (end of email report)

Assessment:

In the early 1990's I was blessed to make the acquaintance of Gershon Saloman, the head of Israel's Temple Mount Faithful while I was working with the This Week in Bible Prophecy television program.

When we met for the first time, it was for an interview for the program. We soon became fast friends. Gershon stayed at our home when he was in Canada, and when I was in Jerusalem, he returned the favor.

I was invited to celebrate Shabbot (the Sabbath) with him and his family in his home. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I say all that to preface the fact that the story Gershon told me was friend-to-friend, and not a canned fund-raising speech he was using to raise money for the TMF.

When I met Gershon, he walked with a cane, and from the way his back was bowed, I assumed he was born with a spinal defect, like spina bifida or something similar.

At his home in Jerusalem, after our Shabbot dinner, he told me the story of what happened.

Gershon is a tenth generation 'sabra' (native born Jerusalemite) who fought in every one of Israel's wars including the 1948 War of Independence. His wife stood on the balcony of their home and pointed to a field behind their house.

During the Six Days' War, "The Jordanians were right there," she pointed. "Gershon's unit was right over there. We could see the fighting from here."

In 1958, during a battle in the Golan Heights, Gershon was wounded when an Israeli tank accidentally ran over him. The tank caught the collar of his shirt and FOLDED HIM OVER BACKWARDS, snapping his spine.

The Syrians overran his position and began shooting the wounded Israeli soldiers. As they were about to shoot him, Gershon told me, they suddenly dropped their weapons and ran away.

Later, he said, these Syrians soldiers reported to UN officers that they had seen 'thousands of angels' around the crippled IDF officer and had, therefore, fled. He showed me documentary evidence from the UN to prove it.

As another interesting side note, despite his injuries, Gershon fought in both the Six Days' War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He was among the Israeli paratroopers who captured the Temple Mount from Jordan in 1967.

Gershon swelled with pride when he recounted being among the first Jews to set foot on Temple Mount in nearly two thousand years.

Now we return to the story at hand -- angels on the Israeli battlefield. Gershon's story of angelic warriors is not the first I'd heard -- it was merely the first time I'd heard the story first-hand from an eyewitness.

Soldiers in all of Israel's wars have reported seeing angels on the battlefield. During the Yom Kippur War, a lone Israeli soldier in the Sinai led a captured Egyptian column back to Israeli lines.

When the Egyptian officer was asked why he surrendered an entire tank column to a single Israeli soldier, the Egyptian officer replied, "One soldier? There were thousands of them."

"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place." (Psalms 68:7)

The officer said the rest of the 'soldiers' had melted away as they approached the Israeli lines. The Israeli soldier reported that he was alone when the Egyptian commander surrendered to him. He didn't see the army of angelic warriors. The Egyptians did.

I read this account some years ago in a secular book about Israel's wars written by an Israeli military historian.

The Bible identifies the archangel Michael as Israel's guardian angel. (Daniel 10:13, 31) The prophet Zechariah predicted that in the last days, God would send His angels to fight alongside Israel.

"In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them." (Zechariah 12:

In its existence, Israel has fought back invaders in five major wars aimed at its annihilation, against impossible odds exceeding 650 to 1 in some cases. Israel's victory in the War of Independence was nothing short of miraculous, as were her victories in 1967 and 1973 against the combined might of the Soviet-backed Arab Legions.

Given her precarious geography, with enemies on three sides and her back to the sea, the Arab armies should have cut through her like a hot knife through butter, but amazingly, each victory left Israel in possession of more land than she had when attacked. And in every war, there are reports from BOTH sides of angelic intervention on Israel's behalf.

Israel's warrior angels make appearances during the Exodus, during most of Israel's early battles, and are promised as Israel's protectors in the last days.

There are too many independent accounts to dismiss reports of angelic warriors as battle fatigue, particularly when one considers that they've been seen by BOTH sides.

I don't want to start an angel-worship cult. Angels are not gods, or deserving of worship. They are created beings who serve as messengers of God. But they are real. They are active in the defense of Israel. And that is why Israel will win.

And the fact that we are talking about them is more evidence that these are indeed the very last of the last days before the return of Christ.

Shalu Shlom Yerushalayim! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Until He comes.

Maybe today?

Amen.

(This brought tears to my eyes this morning.)

Praise the Lord to send his messengers to help Israel in her time of need. I pray for this war to be a war of blessing for the Lord and let his will be done. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen

benny, I suggest a slightly different scenerio: Israel must be at peace and unwalled when Gog attacks. sooooooo, i think this current conflict will result in a peace deal (either a cease fire on Aug 3rd or a major attack on that day) the major attack would lead to Israel taking out Damascus...the call for peace by the world would be too great for israel to withstand...a treaty would come, and soon, Iran would invade a peaceful Israel....by the way, i think the thing that will embolden iran is the rapture would take the US out of the equation of defending Israel....

Quote: Israeli intelligence leaders are not of one mind about what these steps signify. Some diagnose posturing by Damascus to get in on the Lebanon act while not taking the chance of a missile war with Israel; others argue that the Syrian president must be angling for a limited military confrontation, otherwise he would not so blatantly parade his backing for the Hizballah.
....................................Take notice of the stated words.."when the time comes"...and also the words..."Will not divert us from our path"................What would the meaning of these words suggest to you?........................benny

I am convinced that Syria, Iran and others have plans to hit Israel...possibly as soon as this week! watching and praying....Lois

IDF hacks Nasrallah's TV channel



IDF intelligence unit manages to hack al-Manar broadcast, plant caricature of Hizbullah's leader with caption: 'Your days are numbered'
Smadar Peri



After repeated Israeli efforts to destroy Hizbullah's al-Manar television station have failed, an IDF intelligence unit succeeded this week in hacking the station's live broadcasts, planting Israeli PR messages in the transmissions..


Israel at war - full coverage



The al-Manar channel regularly airs juicy propaganda against Israel, including reports of "heroic" and "successful" operations by Hizbullah fighters against IDF special forces.



However, this weekend the IDF prepared a surprise for the Lebanese and Arab viewers of the channel: The broadcast was interrupted and caricatures of Nasrallah appeared on the screen, accompanied by captions reading: "Your days are numbered" and "Nasrallah, your time is up. Soon you won't be with us anymore."



Additionally, Hizbullah and al-Manar internet sites also received "special treatment" by Israeli technical specialists, and several were erased from the internet.

Why we Jews are concerned about this coming Wednesday.
Tuesday, August 01, 2006

Every year on the 9th of AV (this year August 3rd) the Jews of Israel hold their breath hoping that nothing bad will happen. The 1st Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar on the 9th of AV, 586 BCE (BC); 2nd Temple was burnt down by the Romans under Titus on the same date in 70 CE (AD).

Many disasters have happened to the Jewish people on this date, since the fall of the 2nd Temple Tish’ah be-Av has been the date of terrible persecutions to the Jewish people. The Romans capture of Bar Kokhiba’s last stronghold (135 CE). On the same date the following year a pagan shrine was erected on the Temple Mount. The exile of the Jews from medieval England 1290 and from Spain on the same date in 1492 and the slaughter of Jews during the Holocaust (Sho’ah) just to mention a few.

The war we are now faced with here in Israel and Lebanon is at a very important phase in this war and many now consider this to be the beginning of the 3rd World War. If Israel is somehow forced to concede giving Hizbullah a perceived victory it will mean terrible things for the US and the world in general. What I find so amazing is how the UN and the EU continue to blame Israel for everything, never mentioning the terror of over 1700 rockets that has been fired into Israel, causing many deaths and injuries. Or the fact that Hizbullah is a terrorist organization that has taken over Lebanon. It is way past time that we try to understand why the UN and the EU never blame Islamic Arab (Terrorist) organizations, and the answer can be summed up in one world "OIL". No one wants to pay $20 a gallon for gas. Little Israel has no oil, in fact we have a very small piece of land to grow things on, and most of it was once considered worthless, but just as God has prophesied the Desert has bloomed.

Today we hear Hizbullah shouting "death to America" and if you think they are just shouting that for the fun of it, you have another shocking revelation coming right at you. And if Rice or Bush is forced somehow to join the cry for a premature cease-fire before we are able to destroy or at least seriously damage the military capabilities of Hizbullah. You will see millions in the Islamic Arab world join the cry "death to America" and Hizbullah will recruit them by the hundreds of thousands into their ranks.

In 1981 the world condemned Israel for destroying the Iraqi nuclear reactor, but today we are thanked for doing it. Once again it’s Israel that is on the front line against the enemy that wants to take over the world, but all we hear is condemnation from those we are actually saving. The rest of the world has a choice, to allow Israel to totally destroy Hizbullah here and now or fight them later on your own front door.

I was an IDF soldier in the 1982 war when we went after the PLO for shooting these same deadly Katyushas rockets at us. We had Arafat backed up to the sea in west Beirut and ready to finish him and his group of terrorist off. But their rescuers came for them, it was the US 6th fleet. The US picked them all up at the docks in Beirut and took them to Tunis, they licked their wounds and today we are still fighting them because we were not allowed to finish the job. We don’t need that to happen again, and if anyone believes a multinational force will stop Hizbullah and all the other Islamic terrorists groups to become rational civilized folks, you have another thought coming. This is a spiritual war; good against evil and if I need to tell anyone who the good guys are I am wasting my time writing this article. This is a battle not only for Israel’s survival but quiet possibly for yours as well.

Daily I come in contact with Moslems and they all have the same detached look in their eyes, they have been completely taken over with the evil of Islam. They can only think of one thing to kill the Infidels (you and me). I am asked several times every week if I am frightened or if I plan to leave, the answer to both is NO, this is where God has placed us and this is where we will stay until the end, when or however that may occur. I know that God has called us to this Ministry and we will continue with ours eyes on Him and no other. Believing the Ruach Ha Koddesh to lead and guide us in the way we should and will go and that many Jewish lives will be saved. There is nothing the Devil would like more than to see you and others back away out of fear or wrong decisions. Knowing that this is a Body Ministry and everyone he can convince to turn away with their financial help is damage to what God has called us to accomplish in His Name. I have two prayers concerning this possibility, I pray daily that God will bless those who reach out to bless Israel be it this Ministry or any other in Israel. I pray that for every one the Devil is able to steal from the hands of God that a hundred more will take his or her place.

We are very close to moving this part of the ministry out in a very powerful way, and there has never been a time when your support is more important than today. If you will pray over this I know God will speak to you, just sit everything aside clear your mind of your daily problems and ask God to speak to you in your quiet time with Him.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, pray for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

The Golden Reort

I do not believe, that there is a different "SCENERIO"......God's Word does not come back to Him void......A few people have different scenerios.....Sometimes deleting some scriptures, which would result in a scenerio that would be in error.......Yes!...We know that soon Russia and the arabs along with Iran will make a blizt lightning strike against Israel.....A surprise attack!.........In Ezekial 38;13....The Word of God says;....."Sheba,Dedan,the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young loins will say to you. Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?.........This scripture suggests, a diplomatic protest because of what russia and the arabs had just done.....The next verse states;....Therefore son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?.......My dad once stated; "Those people have always been fighting"....And I said, Yes sir, and when there is a time of peace,"Will you not know it!.......Ezekial 38;10....States;...Thus says the Lord God: On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan.....It is obvious that this evil plan is already in progress....Ezekial 38;11..states,...You will say, I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates........At this time, it is obvious that Israel is not living in what would be perceived as peace.......So this means that something big must happen in the near future, to change the status quo........The leader of Israel recently stated; ..."WE want an eternal covenant of peace with all our arab neighbors".....A day after, Condola Rice stated;..."You are wittnessing the birth pangs of a new middle east"......They are says words like;..." A lasting peace".........This very much looks like Daniel 9;27..."And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week"........At this time,..Javier Solona is slated to confirm a covenant with many..on January 1st, 2007.....(Talk about timing).....Many of us are expecting to see Damascus to become wiped out in the extreme near future,...and if the rapture were to happen back to back......Talk about a tremendous shock upon all the world......and then a man steps onto the world scene as the man of the hour, with a solution to the global crisses.....Putting off world war three ......The world more than willing to come to a time of peace......."AND THEN!!!!"......Ezekial 38..............................benny

i do not disagree with you here. that is exactly what i am saying. Something must happen between today and when Iran (persia, Gog and magog etc) invade Israel. That somehting i think, is a peace treay and/or cease fire. I think it very well could come about because on Aug. 3rd, syria hits Israel and Israel responds. Damascus becomes a ruinous heap and the world cries out against Israel and for peace. That is the scenerio i suggest. No doubt Gods word will be fufilled. But the question is, are the current battles in lebanon the real deal or not to bring this false peace about? I suggest one scenerio on how the answer may be yes.
