War Projection Summer 07 - U.S. Attack on Iran Likely Same Time

War predictions now say summer 2007, Insider says U.S. plans Iran Attack

Predictions for the war in Gaza that had been expected this March have
now been pushed back to this summer. Israel expects a full-scale
attack from both its northern and southern borders sometime in June.
Of course the truth is, that no one has a crystal ball, and this is a
game of refined speculation.

The basis for this delay is the fact that within the Palestinian
Authority, there is a battle for control of not just power, but the
money and weapons that have been flowing into the region. The U.S. has
recently given P.A. Prime Minister (I have always had to ask myself,
prime minister of what?) eighty-three million dollars, and thousands
of automatic weapons. Seven thousand of which were transferred into
the waiting hands of Abbas' Fatah faction just last week through the
always willing Olmert led government.

Interestingly, Hamas says it will assassinate either Abbas, or his
Gaza strongman Mohammad Dahlan in the next three weeks. The Media is
playing up the fact that there is intense rivalry between Hamas and
Fatah, and calling the riots in Gaza a civil war. However, in true
Arafat fashion, Abbas (Arafat's former right hand man) tells the P.A.
Arabs in a nationally televised address, that the masses of guns are
not to be turned on Arab brothers (Fatah or Hamas) but they will only
be used on the Israelis. The same statement he made the last time
Olmert transferred U.S. weapons into his waiting hands.

Three days later, Abbas was standing side by side with U.S. Secretary
of State Condoleezza rice telling her that if the U.S. didn't pour
money into the P.A. Coffers, and force Israel to a solution regarding
a Palestinian State that the U.S. will never see an end to problems
with Iranian insurgence in Iraq. Hmmm. one might wonder what one has
to do with the other?

Now this is getting interesting.

Iran is pouring money and weapons into Gaza and the Hamas. The U.S. is
pouring money into Abbas and his Fatah elements, and in the end,
someone is going to rise from the ashes and be immensely well prepared
to wage a war on Israel from inside Israel's borders, which by the way
Arafat and the P.A. have ALWAYS said they would do. Does anybody
besides me think that this whole situation of conflict between Abbas /
Fatah, and Hamas has been staged for this very purpose?  After all,
funds were drying up, the U.S. and even Europe were growing weary of
putting billions of dollars into P.A. bank accounts only to see the
money disappear, and the same old "problems" of refugee camps and lack
of infrastructure come across their negotiating tables year after
year.  The way to get the old spigot turned back on was to create a
good cop bad cop scenario within the P.A. in which the U.S. could be
coerced to side with one faction or the other.  Abbas, who was always
known as one of the world's dirtiest terrorists and an avid holocaust
denier, suddenly became the world's best hope for peace and the
moderate who was just itching to make peace if he only had the weapons
and money to get rid of those pesky anti-Semites known as Hamas.

Abbas not only learned all of Arafat's tricks, he helped to create them.

Of course, our leftists, one-world order Israeli politicians who care
not about their fellow Jew but rather about their worldly kingdoms are
more than willing to cooperate and hail Abbas as their new best friend
and the worlds only hope for peace.

Ok, Ok I hear you saying that people in Gaza are actually dying at the
hand of their fellow Arabs. Yes, that is very true. However, a brief
look at the Islamic model or governance shows that the last thing Arab
Muslim leaders care about is the people under their charge. As Arafat
said many times, "We will win because the Jews love life." Meaning of
course that the Arabs do not. The Jews will give in to terror while
the Arabs will send and endless stream of terrorists, including women
and children to blow themselves to kingdom come.   They will gladly
sacrifice their own people to further their personal cause, and if it
means pitting them against each other in a blood bath to manipulate
world opinion and currency flowing into their pockets, so be it, the
ends justifies the means. When scenarios like this seem to hard to
swallow, I ask, is there anything that the devil will not do to
achieve his aim? Does the devil care about the people that die in his
cause? Does he feel sorrow or remorse over the loss of life he has
caused? Do you still have a problem believing he might do such a
thing?

Are all Arabs monsters?  No. Is Islam a demonic religion that preaches
hate and death? Absolutely! I live in the Middle East, I know what
Islam is and what it does, and I know former Muslims who know it too.
No one can tell me differently.

What all Arabs have in common is a deathly fear of speaking out
against Islam. Why? Because they will most likely die. Not only will
they die, they will die an unspeakably horrible death.

Israeli Arabs must speak outwardly against Israel to avoid being
branded traitors or worse, collaborators. The truth is that they want
the Israelis to maintain control because they know that their life is
far better under Israeli rule than if the Islamic terrorists actually
gain control of their lives. I can show you multitudes of Arab
villages that co-exists with Israeli villages and whose citizens are
prosperous, living in very beautiful homes, whose children are getting
a good education and whose lives are peaceful, except for the constant
call from their Muslim clerics to wage war on Israel. One such Muslim
Arab has been a long time friend to my Israeli born Jewish friend Eli.
Just a few days ago when Eli was visiting this Arab's village to
purchase olive oil, this Muslim pulled Eli aside and said "Why don't
your people get rid of Olmert and get someone strong in charge?  You
need to find a Sharon who will not turn soft, but who will defend
Israel and stand strong against Islam."

This is not an isolated viewpoint among Arab Israelis. Why? Because
they know, their lives will become a living hell if the Israelis lose
the battle.  They dare not speak this truth in public however for fear
of their lives. That is terribly tragic, because ultimately it is the
Arabs themselves who must cast off the bondage of Islam or forever be
enslaved in its clutches.

My Jewish pastor recently attended a secret conference in a
neighboring Arab country, in which he met with born again Arab pastors
from Islamic countries all over the Middle East, and was greatly
encouraged by their testimonies of being visited by Jesus, and the
miracles He is doing amongst the Arab people.  What amazed him most
however was when he heard them join together in a rousing chorus of
Ha'va N'Gila. They told him the way that they tested new believers was
by requiring them to say a blessing over Israel and the Jewish people.
If someone does not have a genuine love for Israel in their hearts,
they do not consider them to be a true believer.   They risk their
lives not only by casting off Islam and embracing Jesus the Christ,
but they know Him as Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah who came to save all
people. Incredible.  What they could teach the western world if only
CNN would give them equal time.
This last week saw Secretary Rice travel to the Middle East for
various reasons, one of which was to size up who they could best work
with as Prime Minister if Olmert is removed from office due to the
many charges of corruption being brought against him by the attorney
generals office. We certainly do need Olmert and his entire crew
removed, but I am afraid that there will not be a house cleaning, just
the sacrifice of a stooge. Please pray that God would place His person
for the job in the seat of Israeli power.

I said some months ago that the best possible strategy for the U.S.
regarding Iran was to give support to the youth inside of Iran that
are very pro-western and who want to shake off the Islamic government
that is holding them hostage. Many of these young people are becoming
believers.  If the U.S. would send them the signal that they would
support them in any attempt to overthrow the government, I believe
they would feel empowered to take the risks. It does not seem that
will be the path the U.S. will follow however.

In the absence of such a strategy, I have concluded that it is
essential that the U.S. have a victory in Iraq, and that to achieve
that they must take out Iran, and subsequently Syria in the process. I
have also warned that the consequences for America and the entire
western world will be devastating if the liberal voices in American
government are able to force U.S. troops put of the region before the
job is done.

A Jerusalem reporter that I cannot identify told me that in a recent
interview with Benjamin Netanyahu, that B.B. had told the U.S. that if
they were to attack Iran today, Israel would be hit with a barrage of
conventional missiles, but that if they waited until next year, Israel
would be hit with nuclear weapons. He (Netanyahu) concluded by telling
them that Israel would not wait for that to happen. U.S. sources have
told this same journalist that the additional 20,000 troops Bush is
sending into Iraq were in preparation for a U.S. strike on Iran. The
U.S. also has moved another battle group into the Persian Gulf, and
the expected strike date is sometime in June. This would also explain
why Israel feels their will be a major war this summer.

My suspicion is that the U.S. will leave Israel to do the dirty work,
and to take the blame when the world wants to condemn someone for the
strike, but behind closed doors even Europe will breathe a sigh of
relief.

There are many possible scenarios that may arise from this
confrontation, and no one but God knows what that will be ahead of
time, but here a few of them.

1) Israel strikes Iran, the Arab world is stunned, and everyone sleeps
better that evening.

2) Israel strikes Iran and Iran retaliates with a missile barrage,
Syria and Lebanese Hezbollah strike Israel from the North, and Hamas
strikes Israel from Gaza. Egypt and Jordan stay out, because in fact
this serves to strengthen them against the Muslim Brotherhood which
Iran has been propping up to take over their countries.

Israel, having learned their lesson in Lebanon last summer shocks
everyone with their capabilities, and their resolve to win and the war
is soon over, leaving Israel and the rest of the Middle East, and
indeed the world in a much more safe and peaceful place. Everyone
sleeps better, and the battle of Gog and Magog is once again sent
somewhere over the horizon, to be fought another day.

3) Israel strikes Iran, Iran and the whole Middle East explode and the
U.S. is involved in the fighting within 24 hours. Russia, China, and
North Korea enter the battle by striking U.S. interests throughout the
world, including on U.S. soil. World War lll is in full swing.  The
outcome of which will bring a world realignment and the reign of the
Anti-Christ.

In the midst of all of this are many central prophecies regarding
Israel. The war of Gog and Magog, the prophecies in Zechariah, the
national salvation of Israel, countless promises by God to defend
Israel and vanquish her enemies, and to restore Israel to safety,
prosperity and rest upon her mountains.

This just begins to touch upon the many possible outcomes and
prophetic fulfillments that are looming over the horizon in the next
few months; however, the one thing I do know is that I don't know.

We must be prepared spiritually for any potential outcome, and we must
be in prayer for Israel, and for our ability to fulfill the calling
god has created each one of us to carry out.

As I was praying the other day, and I felt the Lord asked me a
question. He said, "Do you know why I hate the lukewarm church, and
why I will spew it out of my mouth?" Before I could answer, he
revealed to me, "Because I died for them, I loved them and gave them
my word and my truth, I protected them and provided for them, and I
asked them to walk in faith and proclaim my gospel to a dying world,
and yet they built themselves fortresses to lock out the untouchables
in society. The created palaces of comfort, and went inside and fell
asleep to the sounds of music, and they created a false religion of
works, judging each other by appearances and affluence, and they
soothed themselves with well-spoken words. All the while outside their
walls, they ignored the world that I loved, and shed my blood to
forgive. The world that I came not to condemn but save, the people
that I sent them to in order that the lost might see me in the earth
just as they did when I was walking the land of Israel. I gave them my
very Spirit, and like Esau, they despised their birthright."

Brothers and Sisters, this sent me to my knees asking the Lord not to
allow me to become a part of this lukewarm church. I need Him to keep
the fire burning, because I too can become comfortable, and
complacent. It is in my human nature to do so. God help me to serve
Him by serving the needs of other people. God help me not to confuse
the works of my human understanding with the Holy Spirit blessings
that flow from a surrendered and humble heart. There is a monumental
difference.

I share this to tell you that we cannot afford to comfort ourselves
with how nice a people we are. We need to humble ourselves before the
Lord and ask, "Lord, am alive to you? Quicken me Lord, put me to
life."

There is nothing in this world that you will take with you to the
next, except for the relationship you had with your blessed Savior.
Good or Bad. Now is the time to make sure you do not miss the mark. If
I am preaching to the choir, then pass this along to someone who is
not in the choir.

Let us be alive in Him, and let Him be alive in us.

God bless you and Shalom,

Neil
