Dear friends:

The below news report has been brought to my attention.

This is fascinating in that the Muslim Ramadan begins on October 4, 2005, the same day as Rosh HaShanah (Feast of Trumpets), and Rosh HaShanah is the end of the prophetic 14,000-day generation since the Temple Mount was captured on June 7, 1967 (see my article at www.insights.injesus.com, dated June 26, 2005).

It is also the day following a solar eclipse.

Of course, we have to remember that the devil's plans are not necessarily successful and may be thwarted by the Spirit of God.  What happens will only happen if it is a part of God's end-time plan.

Keep watching!

Jim

Report Warns of Terrorists' 'Great Ramadan Offensive'

(CNSNews.com) -- Al Qaeda's plans for a series of spectacular terrorist strikes in October, targeting American interests as well as U.S. allies in Europe and the Middle East and said to be coordinated by Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenant in Iraq - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- are the subject of a non-public report issued by terrorism experts this week.

The attacks, planned to coincide with the Muslim observance of Ramadan and dubbed the "Great Ramadan Offensive," are designed to create a "fateful confrontation" with the U.S. and Israeli forces in the Middle East, according to a May 30 letter from Zarqawi to bin Laden. The contents of the letter are referenced in the report written by Yossef Bodansky, the former director of the U.S. Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare.

The Sept. 2 report is accessible only to government officials on the Global Information System (GIS) database. Cybercast News Service obtained the report on the same day as its release. It warns of planned attacks in Western Europe, Russia and perhaps the continental U.S. The specific targets are believed to include airports at Schiphol in the Netherlands and Fiumicino in Italy.
