Is Israel at war?

Now might be a good time to fill up that tank.

I don't know if Bush can stop them this time.

Here's the thing about people claiming that Bible prophecy is unfolding - it always seems to be after the fact. They'll see some portentous seeming event in the Middle East and then go to their Bible to find something that resembles the event. I want somebody to make some specific predictions. Look in Revelations and make a prediction about a specific event that's going to happen.

HISTORY OF http://www.members.tripod.com/crossbearer-brian/1x1.gifALLAH, THE MOON GOD
http://www.members.tripod.com/crossbearer-brian/1x1.gif
"According to Scripture, the ancestors of modern Arabs can be traced back to Shem and are properly known as Semites. Shem's descendant Eber gave rise to two lines: Peleg's line, from which Abraham is descended, and Joktan's line, which contains the names of many Arab groups. However, many Arab tribes trace their ancestry to Ishmael, the firstborn son of Abraham.
Their religion was polytheistic and was related to the paganism of the ancient Semites. The beings it adored were in origin the inhabitants and patrons of single places, living in trees, fountains, and especially in sacred stones. There were some gods in the true sense, transcending in their authority the boundaries of purely tribal cults. The three most important were Manat, `Uzza, and Allat. These three were themselves subordinate to a higher deity, usually called Allah.
http://www.members.tripod.com/crossbearer-brian/1x1.gif
The tribal faith centered around the tribal god, symbolized usually by a stone, sometimes by some other object. Apostasy was the equivalent of treason.
The Koran mentions these pagan deities in Sura 53:19-20: “Have ye seen Lat, and `Uzza, and another, the third (goddess), Manat?” This is followed by an assertion (vss. 21-23) that these goddesses, the daughters of ALLAH the MOON GOD according to pre-Islamic Arab theology, are mere human creations that divide God into parts. These deities were popular at Mecca at the time of Muhammad's birth. Lat, or al-Lat (“the goddess”), was the sun god; (Uzza, or al-'Uzza (“the mighty one”), the planet Venus; and Manat, the god of good fortune. Other gods mentioned in the Quran include Wadd (another Moon god, mentioned above), Suw`a, Yaghuth, and Nasr (Sura 71:23). Of these gods, al-`Uzza appears to be the supreme deity in Mecca.
http://www.members.tripod.com/crossbearer-brian/1x1.gif
It is believed by some scholars that Allah, or al-Ilah (“the god”), can be traced to Ilah, the South Arabian MOON GOD. Henotheism, or the worship of only one god while not denying the existence of other gods, may have existed in pre-Islamic society."

It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.

Why would you worry about this?

I believe God's basal reason for showing up as a Human here among us was to tell us to ease up on the rules governing the nature of a people who were putting too much emphasis on the very rules that dictated their lives through governance and slavery.

In the end, I think our need for laws and a governing power will be our demise. At that point, I figure God will come out with Human v.II in a nifty collectors box and do His best to forget the whole demo run.

I wonder what Israel will do if their efforts lead to the collaspe of the Christian-led Lebanese gov't. Essentially, they are punishing them for being for being unwilling/unable to control Hezbollah(which is supplied from outside and battle hardened) with their substantially weaker state forces, as well as lacking a popular base from which to do so with in the country. If the Israeli actions plunge Lebanon back into civil war, and/or cripple their growing economy, will they end up having to deal with more terrorist activty to their north, than they would have with the current Lebansese regime which was making progress to restoring the robust economy of their pre-civil war period. It will be interesting to see.

[JohnnyMack]

This is such a no win situation. If we don't back Israel, it gets wiped off the face of the earth. If we do back Israel (which we have and will continue to do) we continue to be villified by Iran and its many minions. No good can come of this. Just don't be surprised the next time there is a terrorist attack on our soil.

Of course, Iran is backing Hezbollaha, and if Iran's involvement widenens, that will involve plenty of oil. Not to mention if the Arab street gets all riled up in some of the other OPEC nations, you could see rioting that disrupts oil flow.

Israel has a military scenario called the "Samson Option". Most people have heard of the biblical story of Samson, who, when he knew that he was basically finished, pushed apart the pillars of the house where he and his enemies were, killing himself and everyone around him. Likewise, if modern day Israel knows that defeat at the hands of all its enemies around it is inevitable, it will unleash its entire nuclear arsenal upon all the Arab nations around it, making sure that no one wins in such a conflict. Sort of like its own "mutually assured destruction" deterrent for the Arab nations to think about.

I know the story of Sampson, but I dont think Israel will destroy everything they have worked for, and all those whom have died working for it, and destroy themselves too. They dont have a "I cant have it, so you cant either" mentallity.

They will do everything they can to preserve what they have. They probably have the ground zero's "closest to Israel as we can get without hurting ourselves."

I agree they dont have the forces to sustain a prolonged war, but it would only take one nuke, on any country(Iran), for the rest of those arab poons to halt any military invasion and fall back on terrorism.

Do you really think the United States would have the will for an invasion and protracted occupation in 1979?

Lebanon calls for a cease-fire (http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/14/mideast/index.html)

Israel bombed and shelled Beirut's airport for a second day as Lebanon's prime minister called for a cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora spoke with President Bush by phone. Siniora said Bush promised to press Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanon, according to The Associated Press. There was no U.S. confirmation of the promise.

I'm thinking Iran would be a bit of a stretch for Israel.

I don't doubt their badassedness or their ability to destroy the command structures in Iran, but I don't think they the ability to actually do any take-and-hold type operations. The supply lines would be a nightmare (unless they took the Suez again, which would open up its own can of worms), and the amount of people they'd have to call up would probably ruin their economy.

If that's the case, then there's really no point in trying to "take out" Iran for them. Failed states suit their enemies too.

Israel is quite capable of handling any direct attacks, or pursuing forays into neighboring states, however. Lebannon, Syria, no problem. Egypt is a little harder, but I think they can manage.

Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.'

There's a (apparently) reasonably sized contingent of wingnut Christians who want the end times to come. These are almost invariably (of the ones I've met) the people who think they're going to be "taken" before all of the accompanying carnage.

Further, from this same set of people, I've heard that very small numbers of people are actually going to be taken -- thousands -- and that there are many many thousands of people who believe this sort of thing.

The irony of the situation -- that there is a big chunk of people who want the end times to come, each thinking that they're going to be taken, when most won't -- is what makes me giggle uncontrollably.

Personally, I think anyone who wants the end times to come is insane. Let God do what God wants to do, but *wanting* all the carnage to come to pass? Craziness.

i thought he was being harbored by Syria. Did Israel bomb Syria? 'Cause I think Iran is on record as entering the ring when/if this happens.

Why does Iran have any love for Syria? Syria is mostly Sunni and governed by Baathists, isn't it? It's kind of a mini Iraq.

i think it is the whole "enemy of my enemy". Iran and Syria are considered friends.

is Israel bombing Syria??

found it. basically, an attack on syria would be an attack on Islam.

buckle up kids.

I read online that Israeli fighers overflew the palace of President Assad yesterday. That sounds like the IDF equivalent of waking up with a horse head.

[Hamhock]

is that the same guy they buzzed a couple of weeks ago?

"Despite the barbaric and criminal nature of the occupiers of Jerusalem, the regime and its Western supporters do not even have the power to give Iran a nasty look," the agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in Osku, in northwestern Iran.


Care to make a wager on that, Mahmoud?



His declaration came just hours after he warned Israel against extending its Lebanon assault into neighboring Syria, saying such a move would be seen as an attack against the whole Islamic world. Ahmadinejad made those comments in a telephone conversation with Syrian President Bashar Assad, to assure him of his support, IRNA reported.


He's all talk. How many US warplanes are in theater right now? How Tomahawks (some nuclear, no doubt) do we have in the Persian Gulf? Iran may be run be blowhards, but I don't think they're crazy idiots.

Further, from this same set of people, I've heard that very small numbers of people are actually going to be taken -- thousands -- and that there are many many thousands of people who believe this sort of thing.

Well, that settles it folks. If Vaevictis says its this way, its this way. :rolleyes:

This is encouraging:


Saudi Arabia faults Hezbollah for current crisis, blaming "elements" inside Lebanon for the violence with Israel, in unusually frank language directed at guerrilla group Hezbollah and its Iranian backers.

I don't think those poor ragheads understand just what level whipass Israel has in its can. In fact, if these quotes are true, they surely don't. Pray for the innocent. :(

Is all that delusional bull**** for effect, or do these people actually believe what they're saying? The brainwashed terrorist peons eat that nonesense up, but surely their leaders know better? *******s are a lot easier to deal with than crazy people.

[Harry Beanbag]

Now the Israelis say the missles that Hezbollah fired yesterday were Iranian.


Is that a big surprise to anybody? To the best of my knowledge, Iran has always been the money behind Hezbollah. Last night there were reports that not only were the missiles Iranian, but that they were fired by Iranian troops. That would elicit the big :eek: if that is actually true.

On a side note, just how many times to these nimrod countries want to have their head handed to them by Israel? This will be what, the fourth time?

Bad juju--Hezbollah has UAM's (Unmanned Aerial Martyrs):

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=2194327


Hezbollah rammed an Israeli warship with an unmanned aircraft rigged with explosives Friday, setting it ablaze after Israeli warplanes smashed Lebanon's links to the world one by one and destroyed the headquarters of the Islamic guerrilla group's leader.

[JohnnyMack]

From Fox News:


Israel accused Iran of directly helping Hezbollah in the fighting, deepening worries over the regional impact of the battle. A senior Israeli intelligence official said 100 Iranian troops are in Lebanon and helped Hezbollah fire a missile that damaged an Israeli warship off the Lebanese coast Friday night, killing one Israeli soldier and leaving three missing.

[Jerk]

Johnny? Watching Fox news?


I really do think we are in the middle of what historians will look back on as World War III. I think it will last for decades, and if the radical muslims win then we will enter a 1000 year Dark Age. Of course, I'm not psychic, but i did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.
