Peter Van Buren worked for the Department of State
during the Iraqi war and published a book of his
experiences titled, “We Meant Well”. His blog (
http://wemeantwell.com/blog/2012/03/08/deadliest-iraq-attacks-since-us-pullout/)
noted the following:
“February
23: A wave of attacks nationwide, blamed on al
Qaeda, kill 42 people and leave more than 250
wounded.
March
5: Suspected al Qaeda gunmen, some wearing police
uniforms, and rage through the western city of
Haditha in a pre-dawn shooting spree that leaves 27
policemen dead.”
"Iraq
Sunni insurgents keep fighting after U.S. pullout,"
by Suadad al-Salhy on Feb. 29, 2012 at http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/02/29/uk-iraq-insurgents-idUKTRE81S0YI20120229
recorded the following:
“'We are happy to
declare the defeat of the occupation but the
occupation has a project and the effects of this
project still exist,' said Ibrahim al-Shimari, the
spokesman of the Islamic Army.
'We are
continuing to defend the Iraqi people and this
weapon is the guarantee of the security of the
Iraqi people.'”
The only military “project” and “weapon” I know
Muslims want to perfect is a nuclear missile. Since
Iran's efforts have been thwarted through cyber
warfare, will Iran's Shiites come together with Iraq's
Sunnis on Mesopotamian soil in order to complete a
joint effort of iradicating Israel with nuclear
missiles?
Mesopotamia means “(land) between rivers” which are
the Tigris and Euphrates that have their headwaters in
Turkey. In Genesis 10:10 and 11:2, Mesopotamia was
called the “land of Shinar” where Nimrod began
building his kingdom, and a certain tower in Babel. So
it seems the rebellion against Jesus Christ our
Creator (Eph. 3:9) has returned to its physical roots,
and the mystery religion of Islam was foreseen by John
when he described
“MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I
saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus”
(Rev. 17:5-6)
“1Then I turned, and lifted up my
eyes, and looked, and behold a flying
roll. 2And he said to me, What see
you? And I answered, I see a flying roll;
the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the
breadth thereof ten cubits. 3Then said he to me, This is the
curse that goes forth over the face of the
whole earth: for every one that steals shall
be cut off as on this side according to it;
and every one that swears shall be cut off
as on that side according to it. 4I will bring it forth, said the
LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the
house of the thief, and into the house of
him that swears falsely by my name: and it
shall remain in the middle of his house, and
shall consume it with the timber thereof and
the stones thereof. 5Then the angel that talked with
me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now
your eyes, and see what is this that goes
forth. 6And I said, What is it? And he
said, This is an ephah that goes forth. He
said moreover, This is their resemblance
through all the earth. 7And, behold, there was lifted
up a talent of lead: and this is a woman
that sits in the middle of the ephah. 8And he said, This is
wickedness. And he cast it into the middle
of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead
on the mouth thereof. 9Then lifted I up my eyes, and
looked, and, behold, there came out two
women, and the wind was in their wings; for
they had wings like the wings of a stork:
and they lifted up the ephah between the
earth and the heaven.10Then said I to the angel that
talked with me, Where do these bear the
ephah? 11And he said to me, To build it
an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall
be established, and set there on her own
base.”
Zechariah
is a prophet of the exile who returned to
JerusalemIn this passage the word [ishah] is
not used for “woman”, but the similar word
[nashiym], but the better translation would
use [isheh] for an offering by fire, or fire
offering. Zechariah was describing a balistic
and/or atomic missile.
v1-2
“Flying roll” is a flying cylinder [megilah],
30 feet tall and 4.7 feet in diameter (15 ft
divided by pi).
v3-4
The Hebrew word for “curse” [alah] is close to
the pronunciation of Islam's god, and its
effects are world-wide. Islam commands its
followers to lie and use deceit in order to
conquer enemies and further Islam. This curse
is upon those who “steal” and deceive [ganab]
and “swear” [shaba] “falsely” [sheqer] by the
name of a god. The LORD will use “it” to
“midst”/sever [tavek] their house and
“consume”/destroy [kalah] the house's timbers
and stones.
v6
Zechariah asked, “What is it?” and the angel
described what “it” looks like around the
world; this “ephah”, a 10 gallon container.
Missile proliferation world-wide.
v7
This container being “lifted up” was a
“talent”/circle [kikar] of lead weighing 125
pounds, and the fire offering
“sitteth”/lurketh/ambush [yashab] in the
“midst” [tavek] of the 10 gallon container.
v8 The angel cast the
“wickedness” [rashah]/nuclear, biological or
chemical material into the middle of it and sealed
the “mouth”/hole [peh] of the container with a lead
weight.
v9 Then Zechariah saw
two “fire offerings” with “wings”/fins which shot
the container into the sky (two times two wings
equals four fins on the missile). The Soviets have a
(Surface to Air) SA-2 S-75 Dvina medium range
missile with two separate sets of four fins which is
a little over 30 feet tall.
v10
Zechariah asked, “Where is it going?” The
angel replied, to “build”/obtain/continue
[banah] IT a “house”/palace/temple [bayith] in
the land of Shinar; and IT shall be
“established”/restored [kun] and
“set”/confederate [nuach] there on its own
“base”/foundation [mekunah]. Al-Qaeda means
“the base”.
With
the understanding of chapter 5 being a wicked
missile system to restore its base, it makes
chapter 14 more ominous. Zechariah 14
“11And men shall dwell in it, and
there shall be no more utter destruction;
but Jerusalem shall be safely
inhabited. 12And this shall be the plague
with which the LORD will smite all the
people that have fought against Jerusalem;
Their flesh shall consume away while they
stand on their feet, and their eyes shall
consume away in their holes, and their
tongue shall consume away in their mouth. .
. . 15And so shall be the plague of
the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of
the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be
in these tents, as this plague.”
The Muslims will launch their
missiles against Israel, but Israel will
launch their nuclear missiles against their
enemies.
“9And the LORD
shall be king over all the earth: in that
day shall there be one LORD, and his name
one.” Most likely we will all
speak Hebrew and call Him Yeshua. Yeshua will
restore one language back to all those who
love Him. He will undo the consequences of the
Tower of Babel during His millennial reign.
Yeshua will undo the consequences of all our
sins, and His reign will be glorious.
