Hello John and Doves,
Looks like the leader of the new
terrorist group (HTS) in charge of parts of Syria has
threatened to go from the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus (the
site of Islam's first caliphate) to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in
Jerusalem to the Kaaba at Mecca in Saudi Arabia. With
the plan for creating an Islamic caliphate.
HTS's goal wasn't Damascus - it
was the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.
This mosque is the fourth most
holy side of Islam. And according to a hadith - this
is the site where Jesus will return from heaven, appearing
on a white minaret, at his second coming. He will
return shortly before the Day of Judgement.
Muhammad Jawlani, leader of HTS,
is very much in line with Islamic eschatology - he fights
"in order to return God's authority to Earth" and his groups
first video "alludes to important Islamic eschatology and
heritage sites such as the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus....the
main media outlet will be called al-Manarah al-Bayda (The
White Minaret), the name of the place where hadith
literature notes that Jesus will descent to fight the Dajjal
(false porphet). The fighters of HTS swear religious
allegiance.

With the Umayyad mosque in their
control, they are emboldened to continue on to bring the top
three most holy sites of Islam into their caliphate. Their
swift victory over Assad's kingdom will only bring more to
fight for this cause. They are on a holy mission from
god.
HTS's message to the Islamic world
and the West couldn't be more clear. They want to take
the four holiest sites of Islam and create the last,
greatest Islamic caliphate.
HTS - the Organization for the
Liberation of the Levant:
This organization is Hayat Tahrir
al-Sham (HTS) or the Organization for the Liberation of the
Levant - they are Sunni Muslims (The Levant is the east
coast of the Mediterranean from Greece to Egypt; Obama
(Muslim Brotherhood) often referred to Israel and the
surrounding countries as the Levant); their leader is Abu
Muhammad Jawlani - a Sunni Muslim.
His swift shock offensive against
Syria resulted in Assad fleeing the country for asylum in
Russia. And Syria falling to the HTS. HTS is a
'collection' of various fighting/terrorist groups in
Syria. HTS split off from al-Qaeda back in 2017.
It's income has been primarily from the oil
fields/petroleum.
Many are saying that the U.S. is
behind the swift victory of HTS, to a certain extent, and
'removing' Assad was with 'the enemy of my enemy is my
friend' plan. This certainly didn't work when the
U.S., under Obama, created ISIS.
How much the U.S. knew of HTS's
plans to overthrow Assad, how much they helped, how much
they funded is yet to be revealed.
U.S. Funding of Islamic]Terror Organizations:
Why is the U.S. backing, funding,
arming groups/organizations that the State Department has
labeled as "terrorist organizations'? The U.S. has a
history of supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle
East.
After HTS
toppled Assad, Biden called this "a moment of historic
opportunity"..."Biden said the end of al-Assad's presidency was
in part due to the US support for Israel's war on Gaza and
its fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as support
for groups in Syria and Iraq that weakened Syria's closer
ally, Iran." "The uphsoot of all of this, for the
first time ever, neither Russia nor Iran or Hezbollah
could defend this abhorrent regime in Syria." "Make
no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down Assad
have their own grim record of terrorism," he said. A
senior US official quoted by Reuters, however, said that
HTS was "saying the right things."
Was this "U.S. official including
Abu Muhammad Jawlani's rant about
liberation of the Levant? And taking Jerusalem and
then Mecca?? (The Biden administration is no friend
of Israel's.) Does the Biden administration even know
about Islamic eschatology, Islamic caliphates, or even
Christian eschatology? They seem clueless/blinded.
The Afghanistan/Taliban
Debacle:
Back in 2021, the U.S. military
under the U.S. State Department/Antony Blinken carried out a
disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. And ever since then,
the U.S. has been sending billions to Afghanistan. A
country under the control of the Taliban. Who took
over as the U.S. pulled out.
Even though the U.S. has no
embassy in Afghanistan. The U.S. has no presence in
Afghanistan - the U.S. taxpayer is paying for billions in
'aid' since the U.S. military pulled out and left billions
in military equipment for the Taliban. It's probably
safe to say that all the money the U.S. and the U.N., etc.
are giving to Afghanistan is going right into the coffers of
the Taliban. And the U.S. government knows it.

a nasty history of this.
The Fall of Syria -
Another Debacle?:
And now, after the fall of Syria
to yet another terrorist organization, the new leader is
planning on creating an Islamic caliphate - starting at the Umayyad mosque in Damascus,
Syria.
Jordan may also be in the sights
of HTS as Jordan is ripe for rebellion against King
Abdullah. And then Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince
Muahmmad Bin Salman isn't on good relations with the Saudi
younger generation concerning reforms and Western
attachments.
Why The Umayyad Mosque?:
The Umayyad Mosque is also known
as the Great Mosque of Damascus and is located in the old
city of Damascus. It is one of the oldest mosques in
the world. Tradition says that John the Baptist's head
is buried at this mosque. It started off as a temple
to the god of rain during the Iron Age. Then under Roman
rule is was converted to a place of worship for Jupiter -
the Temple of Jupiter - the god of rain/thunder. Then
under Christian Byzantine reign, it was turned into a
cathedral under the Bishop of Damascus. In 634
Damascus was conquered by Muslims, who took the cathedral
and demolished most of it and erected a mosque. And in 661,
the Islamic Caliphate made Damascus the "administrative
capital of the Muslim world.
This mosque is the fourth holiest
site of Islam. According to one hadith, "the
Great Mosque of Damascus is the site where Jesus will
descend from heaven at his Second Coming,
appearing on a 'white minaret'."

Mosque - Wikipedia
So HTS (Sunni)
has control over the fourth holiest site of Islam, and
have their sites on the other three: Al-Aqsa
in Jerusalem which is the third holiest site, the Kaaba in
Mecca, which is THE holiest site of Islam - the Great
Mosque of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and the Prophet's Mosque,
al-Masjid an-Nabawi, in Medina, Saudi Arabia, the second
holiest site. In Mecca is the Kaaba - a large
black cube called the sacred Black Stone. Kaaba
means "House of God". (See my other letter today on
Saturn.)
Jerusalem Is Next!:
This last week I heard that Israel
was 12 km from Damascus and Israel was bombing Syria's
chemical weapons. "Israel said it has struck chemical
weapons stockpiles, and Israeli troops crossed into Syrian
territory for the first time in 50 years after an Islamist
rebel force seized the capital, Damascus, on Sunday and
toppled President Bashar Assad." Israel hit "strategic
weapons systems, including stockpiles of chemical weapons
and long range missiles and rockets in
order that they will not fall in the hands of extremists."

With HTS in control of Islam's
fourth most holy site - the mosque where they believe Jesus
will descend at his second coming. His coming will be
a "sign of the approaching Day of Judgment". They are
emboldened with their swift victories to continue with their
goals of Jerusalem and Mecca and Medina.
To Islam:
"He (Jesus) will "be a just judge. He will make
right judgement between the truth and falsehood. He
will break the cross, kill the pig and will remove the
jizyah." That is, he will "correct the false
doctrines and beliefs that are common about him and his
teachings among his followers and many of them will
follow him. Thus the followers of the Prophet Muhammad and
Prophet Jesus will be united into one Ummah and there will
be no need for jizyah (payment for non-Muslims)."
Jesus will fight the Dajjal (the false Messiah) and will
kill him near Jerusalem.
Facts
about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ | About Islam
Israel is
watchful of HTS - it's not a secret what Abu Muhammad Jawlani
said- they want an Islamic caliphate that stretches from
Damascus (the 4th holiest site) through Jerusalem (the 3rd
holiest site) to Mecca/Medina (the 1st and 4th holiest
sites). If HTS takes up headquarters in Damascus and
Israel knows they are planning massive attacks on Israel -
maybe with leftover Syrian chemicals that the IDF did not
hit - Isaiah 17 could happen soon.
The 'turning of
Damascus into a ruinous heap' will turn Islam's fourth
most holy site into a heap also. That wont sit well
with the Islamics...towards whoever does this.
HTS is made up
of various terrorist factions, all wanting an Islamic
caliphate. More and more groups may join HTS as they
have secured massive victories against the Assad reign and
ousted Assad. Making this Islam's last and greatest
caliphate - the one that takes all the holy sites of
Islam. And removes Israel from the map.
Are we seeing beginnings of the
Last Days in the Middle East with the formation of this
caliphate? Does HTS help bring the Islamic hordes
against Israel? Turkey is backing HTS - maybe from
Turkey comes Gog in the Gog and Magog war.
Interesting timing with
everything else that's going on.
I doubt they are
stopping with Damascus. Jerusalem is next.
Pray for the
peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
