Divided Jerusalem, Nuclear Teheran, Bankrupt Washington - Is this the moment???

Cheers Watchers! Behold the Octa-Blog for April 2008~!

Anyone with a cursory knowledge of Ezekiel 38 should find current events very compelling. Jerusalem is being divided. Judea and Samaria are being ripped away from the rightful residents there to be given to terrorists as rocket launching havens. America is leading this effort, and will pay a great price ($).

Any Bible Student should realize of course that God does not approve of this, that the Land of Israel, ALL of it, belongs to the Jews, and that Jerusalem is the apple of His eye, the very heart of the earth. It is the very seat of Yahweh. Will he allow this "road map" to lead anywhere but off the cliff? Are these not the very events we have been waiting for, when the name of Yahweh will finally be exalted in the earth?:

Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.

Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Psa 137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning].

Petraeus points to war with Iran

Ever since President Nouri al-Maliki ordered the attacks in Basra on the Mahdi Army, Gen. David Petraeus has been laying the predicate for U.S. air strikes on Iran and a wider war in the Middle East.

...Courtesy of Congress, Bush thus has a blank check for war on Iran. And the signs are growing that he intends to fill it in and cash it.

Israel has been hurling invective at Iran and conducting security drills to prepare its population for rocket barrages worse than those Hezbollah delivered in the Lebanon War.

Adm. William "Fox" Fallon, the Central Command head who opposed war with Iran, has been removed. Hamas and Hezbollah have been stocking up on Qassam and Katyusha rockets.

Vice President Cheney has lately toured Arab capitals.

And President Ahmadinejad just made international headlines by declaring that Tehran will begin installing 6,000 advanced centrifuges to accelerate Iran's enrichment of uranium.
This is Bush's last chance to strike...

Israel, with America's leading, is providing the terrorists with armored troop carriers,

Bible Students have also long expected another corresponding scenario when Israel's "lovers" shall leave her.

Jer 30:14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee;

Now, since some may rant and rave that the above links are mere "internet rumours" or "right wing" websites, as though the stories were not factual, it necessarily brings me to one final question:

I have to wonder, in light of recent posts here from certain "brothers", could this passage even include Bible Students?

One left numerous posts saying that Israel is abusive toward Palestinians, that Hezbollah is a humanitarian organization, and asked "how would you feel if your house was bulldozed by Israel?" He likely shares those thoughts with his own class. He is certainly not the only one to have shared those kinds of poison sentiments here.

That last post was deleted, but to answer the question, if my house were bulldozed by Israel, I'd feel I got off pretty easy after being complicit in mass murder. I guess I'd feel like a Jew-hating terrorist, whatever that feels like. Or, I might be laughing pretty hard, since the story was faked by the BBC and my house is still standing, even after I fired 600 rounds inside a religious school, killing everyone I could.

For years we've seen things happening in the region that caused us to think perhaps the time has come, and the Kingdom will start. After many false alarms, many of the friends have come to see everything as mere "birth pangs", as I hear time and again whenever the topic comes up. Well friends, it cannot be "birth pangs" forever. Someday soon the baby must arrive. Is this the very moment we have long expected, with the very Kingdom on it's heels?

Watch and pray!
