        We have now passed into the new millennium, its been 2000 yrs. since Christ walked the earth, the 6000yr. doctrine of "mankind's" dispensation according to modern calendars has drawn to a close, and the occult rulers of the world have ushered in the new age of HORUS via "un-noticed" occult ritual witnessed EN-MASSE during the millennial "festivities". The church scoffs at the literal  interpretation of the doctrine of "Babylon" in the bible, and the prophets of old have become "corban" to them. Modern day heresies continue to advance throughout the Body of Christ conditioning it to its coming 'ruler', and "MY PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO......". In the majority of christianity, bible prophecy literally has become of no consequence to them seeing how the gospel has been replaced with a FALSE one, the prince of the "power of the air" seduces the flock with lying signs & wonders, the NWO slowly blinds the masses to its usurpation, the people are GROPING IN THE DARKNESS as the 2nd coming of Christ is standing at the door. It does not matter though for the vast majority believes they are saved & born-again, kingdom bound with a "ticket" out via rapture, so it does not matter if America is Babylon or that she will be utterly annihilated for.........I AM "SPECIAL"....... God 'loves' me!. I need not be heeding "prophecy" in the bible for it has no baring on ME pertaining to Gods "judgment" for I am "saved"......God 'loves' me!. Or even worse, 'bible prophecy has been FULFILLED' according to the modern heresies of "preterism", It was all over when the temple was destroyed in 70a.d. so there's no need to worry about America being Babylon. These kinds of heresies are the worst of all for they deny the literal TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ (Rev.19:10) and they make way for stronger heresies which benefit the Antichrists "religious" structure in the NWO. Nevertheless, the church and the world stands ready to receive its newest ruling incarnation, and the WRATH OF THE LAMB!!!. There is a FAMINE FOR THE "TRUTH" in the land as the false prophets of Babylon lead the vast majority astray, promoting heresy upon heresy adopted via the FALSE GOSPEL leading into the very doctrines that are used by Satan to give entrance to his "apprentice"...the Antichrist. Bible prophecy today is a "joke" amongst christianity. The last 100 yrs. has seen the greatest advancement in knowledge, technology, human achievement, WAR, DISEASE, IMMORALITY, and the fulfilling of BIBLE PROPHECY then in any other time period in history because the bible does in fact mention the most powerful nation and system the world has ever seen including her "mother" and christendom because they have become LUKEWARM. They refuse to BELIEVE.......THE WORD!!!.This "position" is a diametric opposite to what Daniel stated, for he wrote that the angel said "seal up the words till the TIME OF THE END", and he even went on to refer to those who would "understand" and do EXPLOITS and be tried and tested and MARTYRED at the end......for what they "understood" according to BIBLE PROPHECY WHICH IS THE "TESTIMONY" OF JESUS CHRIST (Rev.19:10)......AT THE "END"..........LIKE..........NOW......THESE "DAYS"!!!.  The last days "Babylon" as prophesied by the prophets of old as has become completely "nullified" by the modern heresies perpetuated by the Church, and in fact, brings about many of the other prophecies in the scripture like....."behold, I come quickly....". On the other side of the fence, those who have seen in scripture that modern day Babylon is America, are totally blinded to the realty of "how" babylon is taking and how it transpires. They error in only looking and watching America/Babylon, and because they do, they will not see the coming destruction thereof because they do not realize that the nation of Israel and especially JERUSALEM is the "spark" that puts everything into play. This side of the fence is even more dangerous for the tendency to promote undue "fear" and paranoia is apparent, causing the those in the "world" and even the apostate church to mock, laugh, and ridicule, which is creating the proverbial "NEVER CRY WOLF" syndrome. So we have two sides of thought in end-time bible prophecy, and both are in effect FLAWED for they do not realize that both entities......America/Babylon and the nation of Israel are closely tied and connected to each other in end-time bible prophecy, and because they are, deception is apparent and the truth goes un-noticed.

      The signs of the imminent judgments of God are all around us, yet are not noticed clearly for what they are. Bible prophecy is continuing to be fulfilled on a steady basis, yet the church at large does not see or notice because of the apostate condition it is in. A prophecy in Jeremiah is in fact being fulfilled right now as I speak, and is easy to recognize if you pay attention. This verse  is a sure sign that the beginning of the destruction of America/Babylon and Canada/Land of the Chaldeans. It has come to pass before everyone's eyes, but then again, so has also MOST of the significant prophecies that have come to pass in the last 100 yrs, not being recognized until after they have.

"And lest your heart faint, and ye
FEAR FOR THE RUMOUR
that shall be heard in the land; a

[1998]
and after that in ANOTHER YEAR

RULER AGAINST RULER".

(Jeremiah 51:46)

       As recently as 1995, the reports and "rumour" of the "MILLENNIUM BUG" started to filter in from various sources including newspapers, but on a very small scale. By the time 1997 came around there was an avalanche of christian, secular, and "authoritative" sources such as the United States government, warning the corporate and private sectors of the potential hazard of the "millennium bug" or the "Y2K" bug as the turn of the century and millennium was looming. The cry in the "underground" news sources and those who were examining the dangers started to spook the general public in print and on record, and the WONDER started to grow on a mass scale from what the "world" calls the "FANATICS", the  radical CHRISTIAN fundamentalists, the "militias", the far right (and left) NUT CASES. This was increased 100% by the time 1998 came around as those in the "technological" know of the Y2K problem, figured out that the "bug" could strike before the millennium as the date "1999" had a high risk of causing the computer "domino destruction" of essential services in our society as "THE FIRST RUMOR" spread on an international scale. Newspapers, and T.V. news casts regularly reported on the "money" spent and preparations made for the 1999 "bug" onslaught". Billions of dollars were spent around the world preparing for the first "non-natural" GLOBAL disaster created by MAN!!!. By the time 1999 came around the "SECOND RUMOR" was in full force. the general public by now had started to become AMAZED and the FAME grew throughout the land of the looming disaster that could come upon the horizon. Millions of dollars were raked in by christian ministries and private companies selling survival food and gear becoming one of the biggest cash cows ever in history based upon a RUMOR. There was "VIOLENCE" in the land.....not the violence that you would think, but an "un-seen" violence by UNJUST GAIN and INJUSTICE as the Illuminati planned the biggest trial run since NAZI GERMANY. It was a "test" that reaped them billions of dollars and created a very distinct division and HATRED for the christian community for there yet once again "NEVER CRY WOLF"!!!. By the time the millennium came and the "bug" fizzed, it caused the world to GROW NUMB of the dire warnings that were heaped up throughout the years of the impending "millennium" and all the myth behind it. Though the bug didn't entirely fizzle, it did not do anywhere that it was HYPED to be. Even the governments of Canada and America created special offices within the military to deal with the problem, and had them "stationed" for most of 1999 on alert. "MARTIAL LAW" was the scare that went throughout the land and the fear of the NWO/Illuminati takeover was whispered everywhere. When nothing happened, it made the peoples NUMB to any more "rumors" or warnings of DOOM. In the last few months in Babylon, the now KING OF BABYLON has created and kept a total "meltdown" of the electoral process in the united states at bay, as he still sits in office. RULER AGAINST RULER was pit against each other as Al Gore and George "Dubya"  battled it out in the courts of what has been called the closest election on record and the most CORRUPT ever witnessed for the scriptures may bare witness. A total laughing stock in the world community, and the most dangerous and SCARIEST situation the people of the united states AND THE WORLD has ever faced in fact. Not long after the Y2K fizzle, we saw a massive increase in the price of oil almost immediately with very "incriminating", predictable fluctuation and the outcry from the public for an inquiry came fast and swift as the Illuminati made another cash grab and played with the OIL. The "KING OF BABYLON" continued to "weave his web" as he continues along with "THE GREAT MASONIC WORK" in the background:

"The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom;
WE HAVE HEARD A RUMOUR
from the Lord, and an
A   M   B   A   S   S   A   D   O   R (Isaiah 18:2)

is sent among the HEATHEN, arise ye, and let us rise up against
H   E   R

in BATTLE. Behold, I have made thee SMALL among the heathen:
THOU ART GREATLY DESPISED".

(Obadiah 1:1)


AMBASSADOR

6735 tsiyr, tseer; from 6696; a hinge (as pressed in turning); also a throe (as a mental or physical pressure); also a HERALD or errand-doer, messenger, pang, sorrow.

6696 tsuwr, tsoor; aprim. root; to cramp, i.e. confine (in many apli., lit. or fig., formative or hostile):- adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, LAY SIEGE.


        This verse is confirmed verbatim, in a different variation of the same sequence of events in Jer.49:14!. What is very interesting here is how this verse is worded for it states "we have heard a RUMOR from the Lord". Is this verse confirming together with Jeremiah 51:46, and that the two verses work together in unison?. Does this verse in Obadiah come into place once Jer.51:46 comes to pass and is acknowledged by those who are "watching"?. What s most remarkable about this prophecy is the last couple of lines of the verse for its talking about Israel the nation in the middle east, but the prophecy is concerning "EDOM" and Israel is NOT Edom!. Modern day "Edom" would in fact be southern JORDAN, and there are many prophecies in the O.T. against the surrounding nations of Israel. But this passage in Obadiah is not entirely against Edom, for America/Babylon is spoken of in a few verses. The now deceased Monarch of Jordan, King Hussein, played an integral role in the peace process that continues between Palestine and Israel. God says that this role is "deceitful" and is against the nation of Israel as we shall soon see. There are a few un-fulfilled prophecies in scripture against the "children of Ammon" in the bible, and this passage is one of them. Even David prophesied of this connection between Edom/Jordan and the last days America/Babylon and we should look at it.

"Remember, O Lord, the children of EDOM in the
D A Y  O F  J E R U S A L E M;
who said, rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
O DAUGHTER OF BABYLON,
who art to be DESTROYED; happy shall he be, that
rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he
be, that taketh and DASHETH thy little ones against the stones".

(Psalm 137:7-9)

        Now, this is very interesting for it does the same thing in Obadiah. Its first talking about Edom than jumps to Babylon and its destruction. These verses are future prophecies that have not taken place yet and I believe are alluding to this covenant of "peace" in the middle east we now see, and the "double-cross" of the King of Babylon and the enemy nations of Israel recompense back upon all their heads. David is saying here that Edom or rather modern day Jordan is an accomplice in the attempt to come against Israel via a "double-cross" I believe. The "he" that will be "happy" here in Psalm 137 is Jesus Christ and he is the one that brings the destruction upon the "daughter of Babylon".....AMERICA!!!. Most of the first chapter of Obadiah is in fact referring to America/Babylon when you study it out. This is because Israel is the FUSE......the "fire plug" that catapults into the TAKING OF BABYLON. The "king of Babylon" is a HERALD of the Illuminati, a messenger that brings "sorrow" and "mental pressure", a THROE and an "adversary" who wishes to  LAY SIEGE!!!. The battles go on in Jerusalem and hundreds lie dead as the Palestinians DEMAND the "temple mount", and the king of Babylon is right in the middle of it. The news reports as late have Israel and the neighboring states preparing for all out war almost imminently. The pressure is rising and the break down of America/Babylon continues. The russian equation into the factor becomes obvious with the growing dissent of the neighboring enemies of the nation of Israel, and the great prophecy against "GOG" looms ever closer. But before that, the "trigger" must be unleashed and is referred to in prophecy lined up in SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. The "triggering" of the Ezekial 38 and the "dragging by the snout" of Gog down to take Israel involves another fulfillment of bible prophecy that is looming on the horizon. The increased reports in the press of stressed relations between SYRIA & ISRAEL is becoming more frequent, and the threats by both sides more furious. Obadiah alludes to a "double-cross" involved between America/babylon and Edom/Jordan it would seem if you pay attention:

"If THIEVES came to thee, if ROBBERS by night,
(how art thou cut off!)
would they not have stolen till they had enough?
if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they
not leave some grapes?........All the men of thy
C  O  N  F  E  D  E  R  A  C  Y
have brought thee even to the border: the men that
were at PEACE with thee have
D  E  C  I  E  V  E  D
thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy
bread have laid a wound under thee: there is
none understanding in him".

(Obadiah 1:5-7)

        Much of the last days "conspiracy" as prophesied in the bible between the King of babylon and the "princes" is just that, a CONSPIRACY and the bible speaks it as such. This is why it is a little difficult to understand how the pieces fit because the bible says that all these groups are "DOUBLE-CROSSING" one another and its all centered around the nation of Israel in what is called the "Day of Jerusalem" which I believe has not happened yet. The first part of Obadiah 5-7 is talking to both Edom and Babylon I believe, especially Babylon America for it is subtly referring to the "spoil" taken by Gog and the "nations of the north" at the Taking of Babylon. Obadiah is very detailed and is referring to a "confederacy" of nations I believe that DECEIVES "ISRAEL" and involves both Edom & America/Babylon that brings there swift destruction. Edom or modern day Jordan is very much at PEACE with Isreal and this would fit them to a tee. They turn upon Israel in this "confederacy" of DECEIT and it brings destruction upon JORDAN!!! and others of the "confederacy". As a matter of fact, for a list of most of the nations that will get wasted by the Lord just read Amos ch.1. There is a 'conspiracy" amongst this peace process that we are seeing right now and it will push the middle east into an all out nuclear war that will culminate in the Taking of Babylon by Gog and all the enemy nations that have surrounded Israel for battle.  Israel has threatened with the "SAMSON OPTION" if any attempt to try and launch nuclear weapons against her, and Prime minister Barak has become increasingly more defiant in giving the Palestinians any of there concessions while Arafat is DEMANDING the turn-over of areas vehemently contested. You think this is far fetched here? How about this then, how about the Lord being REALLY detailed here folks. This passage I'll now give you is almost always attributed to king Zedekiah in Ezekial, but I think NOT!!!. The reason being, is this is Ezekial 17.....a passage talking about the "occult", MASONIC birth of America/Babylon:

"Moreoever the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
say now to the rebellious house (Israel), know ye not what these
things mean? tell them, behold
THE KING OF BABYLON IS COME TO JERUSALEM,
and hath taken the
KING

thereof, and the
PRINCES

thereof, and led them with him to
B   A   B   Y   L   O   N;

And hath taken of the
KINGS SEED,

and made a
C O V E N A N T
with him (King of Babylon): and hath taken a OATH of him: he hath also taken
of the MIGHTY of the land: That the kingdom (nation of Israel) might be BASE,
that it might not lift itself up, but by
KEEPING OF 'H I S'  C O V E N A N T
IT MIGHT STAND

(Ezekial 17:11-14)

        Now your sayin "no way" its too simple.....easy. I'm tellin you ya, that's about RIGHT!!!. Is what were seein here with the "peace negotiations" between the "KING" of Israel, the representative of the "PRINCES" that are the "kings" neighboring enemies, and the "KING OF BABYLON. This is very interesting for this passage comes right after a description of Americas "birth" from her "mother "ENGLAND" and from and in the "OCCULT". Seeing how a majority of bible prophecy comes to revelation sometimes 2 and 3 times in the bible, this bit by Ezekial could very well mean what it means as I'm showing it to you here because the verses are around passages dealing with "BABYLON" and its "taking"!. If you carry on with this passage in Ezekial keeping in mind what I've shown you, a very clear scernario becomes evident. This "oath" the king of Babylon makes the king of Israel is like it was being made with God himself. Vs. 15 of Ezek.ch.17 eludes to the King of Babylon "rebelling" and making a deal with "Egypt"....."But he REBELLED against HIM (king of Israel) in sending "ambassadors" into EGYPT, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he brake the covenant and be delivered?"(Ezek.17:15)..... When you put all the scriptures together folks, you realize ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD COME AGAINST THE NATION ISRAEL. The "king of Babylon" right now sits as an AMBASSADOR, a MEDIATOR between the "king & princes" of the Middle East. Does not the King of Babylon "CONFIRM A COVENANT" with "many" in Daniel? Could this in fact be what were seeing? The right now king of Babylon as I'm writing is in fact still in office when he SHOULD NOT BE, and is still in the middle of these negotiations between king and princes. Is the Lord trying to show us in bible prophecy that this WANTON KING OF BABYLON that we still see undermines a "covenant" between the king and princes of JERUSALEM and brings about the WRATH OF THE LORD?.....

"Seeing he despised the oath by BRAKING THE COVENANT, when, lo, he had
GIVEN HIS HAND (handshake),

and hath done all these things, he shall NOT ESCAPE.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; as long as I live, surely
MINE OATH that he hath despised, and MINE COVENANT
that he hath broken, even it will I recompense
U P O N  H I S  O W N  H E A D.
And I will spread my NET upon him, and he shall be
T A K E N   I N   M Y   S N A R E,
and I will bring him to Babylon........".

(Ezekial 17:18-20)

        Now, this is really interesting here. God calls it "THE" OATH and later on says its "HIS" oath and "HIS" covenant....its with the NATION OF ISRAEL!!!. Its still talking about the King of Babylon here and God is saying that he "brake the oath and covenant". Could this be talking about a "DOUBLE-CROSS" against Isreal by the King of Babylon pushing the nation state into the SAMSON OPTION against Syria in case Israel refuses to get pressured and finds itself alone?. This is all very very interesting for it fits so well with what is going on right now in world affairs to the "letter". The most remarkable part of this passage is the statement "given the hand". This is how agreements, pacts, treaties, oaths, and allegiances are in fact given today, by "signature" and then HANDSHAKE!!!. The photo above is what is known as the "GREAT" or "FAMOUS HANDSHAKE" on the white house lawn of 1993 amongst the press and is very very interesting indeed. Two years later Rabin would be "assassinated".This was NOT the custom in the days of Ezekiel, especially against warring factions. Its interesting to note that it was right after the rebellion of Zedekiah in the O.T., that the children of Israel went into CAPTIVITY!!!. God states that he personally takes the King of Babylon in his NET & SNARE, and brings him to Babylon!. Clinton is  "supposed" to leave office as of this time as George "dubbya" is supposed to be sworn in later on this month. Is Clinton gonna leave Babylon after his term only to be dragged back by the Lord to be taken in his "TERRIBLE SNARE" upon babylon that is prophesied to come to pass?. If you read verse 16 of this chapter there is even something stranger for it speaks of the "king" (Illuminati?) who made the King of Babylon "king" and how he and the King of Babylon will perish in Babylon!!!. I don't think this is by accident here people, and I think the Lord is tellin us it all, even the darkest and well kept "secrets" of the SONS OF BELIAL!!!. In the O.T., many of the judgments by the Lord were brought upon the "peoples" of enemy kings for the transgressions of the "King" against the Lord as well, and this could be the literal "spark" that causes the WRATH OF THE LAMB to come upon Babylon for the "evil transgression" of the King of Babylon in braking of the COVENANT!!!. You see, my bible tells me the "King of Babylon" is both called LUCIFER....."AND"......THE "ANTICHRIST" in Isaiah chapter 14. Does not the "Antichrist" abominate in or around the temple?. Could the king of Babylon be doin the ole masonic "DOUBLE-CROSS" against Israel and pressuring them to bending to the demands of the HEATHEN? could the Antichrist be seeking to take Jerusalem for the "Illumined Ones"?. The reason why I ask is something happens in ole "SYRIA" and especially its most ancient of cities.....DAMASCUS, for prophecy states that the city gets wiped off the MAP:

"Thus saith the Lord: for THREE TRANSGRESSIONS of
D  A  M  A  S  C  U  S,

and for
F  O  U  R,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof: because they have
threashed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron: But I will
S E N D  A  F I R E
into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of
BEN-HADAD".

(Amos 1:3)

"The burden of
D  A  M  A  S  C  U  S.
Behold, DAMASCUS is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a
R  U  I  N  O  U  S     H  E  A  P.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which
shall lie down, and none of them shall make them afraid. The
fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom
from DAMASCUS, and the remnant of
S   Y   R   I   A:
they shall be as the glory of the children of Isreal,
saith the Lord oif hosts".

(Isaiah 17:1-3)

"D  A  M  A  S  C  U  S
is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath
seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a
woman in trevail. How is the city of praise NOT LEFT,
the city of my joy! Therefore her young men shall fall in
the streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that
day, saith the Lord of hosts. And I will

K I N D L E  A  F I R E
in the wall of DAMASCUS, and it shall consume the
palaces of BEN-HADAD".

(Jeremiah 49:24-27)

Israel Braced For War With Syria
By Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk 
12-17-00

    The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, faces a gruelling two months. While desperately trying to secure a deal with the Palestinians, which he believes is the only way to win forthcoming elections, he has been told by his generals to prepare for war if peace talks fail. The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) fears the current conflict with the Palestinians could spread beyond Israel's borders to involve Syria. This would risk triggering a spiral of confrontation in the volatile region. Military sources said Israel was taking the danger so seriously that it had sent a warning to Damascus earlier this month to try to head off a clash.  The message said Israel would go on the offensive against Syrian army positions in Lebanon if Hezbollah, the Syrian-backed Lebanese militia, launched attacks across the border. The army believes Hezbollah could decide to support the latest uprising that erupted nearly three months ago. Anger has risen across the Arab world with the mounting death toll, which stood yesterday at 324. The vast majority of the dead are Palestinians. In October, Hezbollah kidnapped three Israeli soldiers, who are still being held. Earlier this month it ambushedan Israeli army patrol, killing one soldier and wounding another. 
      Alongside the warning to Damascus, the IDF has begun preparations for a "worst-case" outcome. Ten days ago, an armoured division received an emergency order that moved it to the Golan Heights, on the border with Syria, to reinforce troops based there. Israel also placed its submarine flotilla on high alert. Military sources said three German-built submarines - the Tekuma, Dolphin and Leviathan -- had started a 21-day shift in the Persian Gulf. The submarines are believed to be equipped with nuclear warheads, but would only come into play in the event of an all-out regional war, which remains an unlikely prospect. It is Hezbollah's co-operation with Syria in Lebanon that is causing the Israelis the gravest concern. Since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon last May, Hezbollah is thought to have doubled its military might. The militia, which controls southern Lebanon, has acquired anti-tank missiles and long-range Katyusha rockets from Iran. Israel blames the Syrians for transporting Iranian weapons through Damascus airport. Hezbollah has also built about 30 military posts on the Lebanese side of the border with Israel, creating a new frontline. There are about 1,000 fighters there, and a further 5,000 in other bases. 
      The Israeli army is still building an electronic fence, and needs to lay minefields. "Nobody in Israel wants to say this, but Hezbollah could walk into northern Israel tomorrow," said one military source. Israeli intelligence has warned the army that the young President Bashar Assad, who has had close links with Hezbollah, is influenced by General Asef Shawqat and Bahajat Suleiman, the head of intelligence. Both men believe the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and the latest uprising are signs that Israel has grown weak. The IDF is taking no chances. It is training to defend the Jordan Valley from the east, in the unlikely event that Iraqi tanks cross Jordan. Barak's preoccupation in the run-up to elections, however, will be to try to resuscitate peace negotiations with Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader. If he secured an agreement with Arafat and calmed the violence, the threat of a wider war would disappear. It would also strengthen his chances of continuing as prime minister. Without such a deal, polls show him running behind both of the two possible Likud candidates, the relatively hardline Ariel Sharon and Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, the former prime minister. 
     Shlomo Ben Ami, Barak's acting foreign minister, talked late into the night last week with Arafat. Sources said  they spoke of lifting Israel's blockade of the West Bank and Gaza to ease an economic crisis in the occupied territories. Barak is said to have abandoned his insistence that the intifada must end before he will resume talks. The outline of the election should become clearer this week. Tomorrow the Knesset, Israel's parliament, votes on a so-called "Bibi" bill - a law that would allow Netanyahu to stand for prime minister even though he is not a member. On Tuesday, Likud will meet to choose between Sharon and Netanyahu, who is far ahead in the polls. On Wednesday, the Knesset is expected to decide whether to call a general election. Netanyahu has said he will not run unless there are parliamentary as well as prime ministerial elections.
     President Clinton and the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat spoke by telephone yesterday about ways of restarting the Middle East peace process.


      It is not by accident that this prophecy is spoken of in sequence before Jeremiah 50 & 51 and Isaiah 17. Passages that prelude the destruction of Babylon. This passage in Amos is very interesting for it is very detailed in its description of Damascus's history. Three times in the past Damascus has been sacked and destroyed, and the "fourth" shall be the LAST!!!. Three times in the past israel has been taken as well and this fits into the equation. God in fact states in other verses that he utterly annihilates Damascus so that it is no more. The increasing tensions in the middle east point to a confrontation between ISRAEL & SYRIA in which the city of Damascus will get annihilated via a NUCLEAR STRIKE and most probably from ISRAEL. Unlike in years past, the U.S. does not back Israel like it once did and has slowly changed its position as a "guardian", and policies have changed in favor of PEACE in the middle east at Israel's expense. The Israeli's do not "trust" the U.S. as they once did and find themselves 'alone' and 'surrounded' on all sides without ANY real allies. Is it possible the King of Babylon is undermining negotiations in the peace process in the middle east, and pressuring Israel to relinquish that which they will absolutely NOT, forcing them into a corner in which WAR with Israel's neighbors is the only option? Could this cause Israel's enemies such as Iraq, Iran, and SYRIA to come against Israel where Israel has no other option but to do a little "SAMSON" and launch a nuclear strike against Syria and DAMASCUS IS LAID WASTE?. Does this then bring "GOG" down through the mountains of Israel to come against her as prophesied in Ezekial 38?. Me thinks everything is lining up right on schedule and these prophecies are about to be fulfilled before our very eyes here folks, and we best be "WATCHING" closely!. This phrase "for 3 transgressions, and for 4" is used quite a few times in the 1st chapter of Amos and is addressed to Damascus, Gaza, Tyrus, Edom, Judah, the children of Ammon (Jordan) and Israel. These prophecies against Damascus are heralded by a few prophets in the O.T including Isaiah 17, Jer.49, Amos 1, and Zech.9. Its amazing for all of these passages are right before passages detailing the taking and destruction of Babylon America and I don't think its by accident for these prophecies against "Damascus" are yet to be fulfilled and its highly likely that they will prelude the TAKING of America/Babylon. We should look at right now, the list of nations that get "burned" by the Lord in there plot against Israel for 3 times in history Jerusalem has been taken, and for "4" the transgression shall be recompensed saith the Lord. A very detailed listing of nations is given in the book of Amos and we should examine them cause all these nations are gonna get "spanked" for the "4th" transgression against JERUSALEM and I believe are part of the "CONFEDERACY" in the conspiracy against Israel as spoken by Obadiah. We need to understand that some of the prophecies are against places that in fact are now 2 or more different "nations" from the past in the case of "Moab" and "Ammon", and "Edom" and "Gaza" which represent modern day JORDAN as "Amman" is a capital city in Jordan and "Moab" in fact represents where is modern day "PETRA" in Jordan. Edom historically was a large area that spanned from the borders of "Arabia" (Dedan) unto "Teman" (Moab, modern day Jordan) according to Ezek. 25:13., and most likely represent GAZA AND PALESTINA in scripture today or the "Palestinians". But lets take a look at all the nations that are part of this "confederacy" that come against Israel:

        These nations play a major role in the 4th attempt to take Jerusalem, and all of them are burned with FIRE according to Amos and it seems to imply "NUCLEAR FIRE"!!!. Not on the map above is "china" because of map size, and "Libya" and "Greece" are not in the precise spots, but you do get the idea. There are at least 25 nations mentioned in scripture that are Israel's (or Judah's) immediate neighboring enemies, that come against her in the last days. As a matter of fact when you look at the map, every single nation that surrounds Israel at the moment comes against her, so the scripture is not kidding when it said "ALL NATIONS". Of notice on the above map are a few places that are not recognized by most scholars in bible prophecy, that are clearly revealed today and even historically. The fact of the matter is "Babylon" of the past was NEVER A "NATION", but was an "area" known as "Babylonia" that surrounded its ONE major "city".....Babylon, yet bible prophecy states that end-time Babylon is a NATION filled with "cities" and controlled by "princes" so then the Babylon of old is NOT the end-time babylon, but a different entity altogether and proven by scripture. As I've said before, "Assyria" is NOT "Syria" but a different entity prophetically, geographically, and historically. Modern day "Sudan" is where lower-Egypt of the past was located, and is called in scripture "Chub" or rather "Cub", or a "cub" of Egypt. The fact of the matter is "China" is revealed in the O.T. and scripture as "Sinims" or the oriental peoples. The entities of "Sheba" and "Dedan" in bible prophecy are the nations of Yemen and Oman today, and the "Dedanim" of Isaiah 21 would seem to imply the other western Saudi nations including "Qatar" and the "United Arab Emirates". In fact, in the ancient past, "Sheba" would've been the whole of southern Arabia. The "dedanim" were arab tribes that wandered Arabia and settled in the areas we see today on the map. Ancient "Lydia" was located in the western part of modern day "Turkey" and implies Turkey in prophecy. These nations including Iraq and Iran as "Persia" represents a complete surrounding of immediate enemy "neighbors" that encamp around Israel and the Lord says that they all go against her. This is very interesting and please note that the names of nations changed through history in many places and there is an "overlapping" of identities in the text. Modern day "Iraq" includes Babylon, Sumeria, Chaldea, Assyria, and Mesopotamia in the past and was also part of Iran during the Medo-Persian Empire. Iraq is mainly referred to as "Assyria" or "land of the Assyrians" and is NOT the same as Syria in prophecy, and is not called "Babylon" in end-time prophecy. The two are very distinct and not the same and is reason why most bible prophecy in America/Babylon is nonsense. Modern-day Iran was called Persia, Media, and Parthia in the ancient past and is referred to by those names in prophecy especially "Medes". One common mistake in bible prophecy is the identity of ancient "Elam". Ancient Elam sat at the mouth of and east of the Euphrates river where modern day "KUWAIT" sits and this becomes totally un-noticed for there is un-fulfilled bible prophecy against Elam. The biggest amount of confusion though comes with the identities of "Edom", "Moab", and "Ammon" in scripture for a great deal of prophecy is centered around these nations that have not been fulfilled. All three of these ancient "tribes" or nations were located where modern day Jordan is, and this confuses things when trying to figure out who is who in end-time prophecy. The chief peoples of modern day Jordan are in fact the "children of Ammon" in scripture, and the capitol city of Jordan is "Amman". The modern day "Palestinians" are the ancient PHILISTINES and their referred to as Gaza, Philistia, even Canaan in the O.T. Modern day Lebanon is usually referred to as Tyrus or Tyre and even Pheonecia in prophecy. Tyre is still a capitol city in Lebanon. Most of end-time prophecy against Syria is centered around "Damascus" in the scripture, but it is referred to as Aram, Syria and Hamath in ancient times. Though Syria and Assyria integrated in times past, they are not the same in bible prophecy. What should also be noted though this nation is not directly involved in the "confederacy" against Israel is modern day "YEMEN" for it is called "SHEBA" in bible prophecy and is the land of the "Sabbeans" and yes, the "Queen" was also the Queen of Ethiopia as well, but more importantly, the "Queen of SABA, SEBA or SHEBA".  When one considers the fact that America is Babylon and home of the "spiritual Israelites", then you understand that all these nations come under the judgment of God including the nation of Israel if you study the text. there are also a vast array of "judgments" upon "CITIES" that occupied these modern nations in ancient times. By placing all the prophecies together and understanding which is where, you get a good picture of what happens that pre-empts the Taking of Babylon, and also on all the enemy nations that come against Israel. The "taking" of America/Babylon comes like a "thief" upon its inhabitants, so something must direct away the "noticing" of its inhabitants, and that's exactly what these prophecies show. A confrontation between Israel and its neighboring enemies leads to the annihilation of Damascus, and draws the "BEAR" down through the mountains to come upon the nation of Israel:

"Son of man, set thy face against
G  O  G,

(Rosh/Russia)
T H E   L A N D   O F   M A G O G,

(Russian Federation)
the chief prince of
M E S H A C H

and
T U B A L

and prophesy against HIM. And say, thus saith the Lord God:
behold, I am against thee,
O    G  O  G,
the chief prince of
Meshach and Tubal:
And I will put hooks into thy jaws, and
I  W I L L  B R I N G  T H E E  F O R T H,
and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour,
even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
PERSIA,

ETHIOPIA, and LIBYA

with them, all of them with shield and helmet:
G  O  M  E  R

and all his bands; the house of
T O G E R M A H

of the north quarters, and all his bands: and  many people
with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou,
and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and
be thou a GUARD unto them".

(Ezekial 38:4-7)

GUARD

4929 mishmar, mish-mawr; a guard (the man, the post, or the prison); fig. a DEPOSIT; also (as observed) a usage (abstr.), or an example (concr.):- dilligence, guard, office, prison, ward, watch.


        This is not a complete representation of all the nations involved given in Ezekial 38, but it represents the main proponents as many more nations can fulfill the parameters of Mescach, Tubal, Gomer, Togermah etc. In fact, these parameters given in Ezekiel 38 would cover almost ALL THE NATIONS OF THE PLANET for they represent the sons of Japheth which would even include all oriental peoples. Persia referred to here would include both Iran and Iraq as ancient Persia included southern Iran and mesopotamia which is modern day Iraq. Northern Iraq was ancient Assyria in the O.T. and modern day Syria was called Aram in the past so its not as the names would tell you. Now, the "double-cross" of the King of Babylon with the "princes", causes Israel to back into a corner which brings about a confrontation with Syria. Because Israel has no "allies" and whom she once trusted, BABYLON and its King has turned against her. Israel is forced to launch a nuclear attack against Syria and specifically DAMASCUS which causes the "princes ally"......GOG and all his "bands" to come down upon Israel through the mountains. GOG is also aligned with "Persia" (Iran), "Ethiopia", "Libya", "Gomer" (Germany), "Togermah" (Armenia) and all the "bands" thereof and a great "company" with them. This would probably include the rest of the "Muslim" states in Rusiia including Kazakhstan, the baltic states, Turkey, other middle eastern countries and european countries etc., for ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD come against Israel....."For I will gather ALL NATIONS against Jerusalem to battle....."(Zech.14:2)....
Gomer - also Gamir, Gommer, Gomeri, Gomeria, Galic, Gallic, Galicia, Galatia, Gael, Gaul, Gadelas, Getae, Goth, Gimmer, Gimmerai, Gimirrai, Gimirraya, Kimmer, Kimmeroi, Kimirraa, Kumri, Umbri, Cimmer, Cimmeria, Cimbri, Cimbris, Crimea, Chomari, Cymric, Cymry, Celtae, Celt, Cumber (Irish, Scots, English, French, Saxons, Britons, Welsh, Galatians, Germans, Dutch, other related groups), Magog - also Magug, Gog (Sythians - also Scyth, Scythes, Skythai, Scynthia, Scynthius, Scoloti, Skoloti, Skuth-a, Skoth-ai, Skuthes, Rukhs, Rhos, Ros, Roxolani, Rus, Russian, Russians, Belorussians, Armenians, and the peoples of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, other related groups)Tubal - also Tabal, Tabali, Tibarenoi', Tibareni, Tibar, Tibor, Sabir, Sapir, Sabarda, Subar, Subartu, Thobel, Tobol, Tobolsk (Hungarians - also Hungar, Hunugur, Onogur, Ugor, Ungar, Uhor, Hurri, Venger, Siberians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Georgians, other related groups), & Meshech - also Me'shech, Mes'ek, Mushch, Mushki, Mushku, Musku, Muska, Muskaa, Muskai, Machar, Mazaca, Modar-es, Moskhi, Mosher, Moshch, Mosoch, Moschi, Mo'skhoi, Moschoi, Mosochenu, Mossynes, Mosynoeci, Moskva, Moscow (Muscovites, Ukranians, Poles, Finns, Czechs, Yugoslavians, Estonians, Latvians, other related groups)
        Whats interesting here is that the Lord says that Gog is a "GUARD" unto them in this passage of Ezek.38. Could this be because a war brakes out between Isreal and the "princes" and Gog (Russia) moves down through the mountains as a GUARD in case the war escalates beyond the "middle east"?. Its very interesting the statement ...."be thou PREPARED, and PREPARE THYSELF"!!.... This sounds like a localized war has broken out in the middle east as discussed already, and the "bear" moves in and prepares in case it escalates with perhaps AMERICA/BABYLON!!. All the "bands" that are with Gog include all her satellite "muslim" states that become all aligned with Israel's immediate and neighboring "muslim" enemies!!!. Vs. 8 of Ezek.38 states that this prophecy comes to pass at that appointed time Daniel spoke of at the "end", and that the Lord uses this "situation" to be SANCTIFIED AND KNOWN AMONGST THE "HEATHEN" in verse 16. Ya see, something happens that's very strange in the text and doesn't fit unless you know who and what "Babylon" is. As shown here in vs.4 to 7, Gog comes down towards Israel during a localized "war" in the middle east and stands and prepares as a GUARD for her ally "princes" involved in the squirmish. But Gog gets an evil idea, and something comes into his mind. Gog plans on taking Israel and the "spark" is more than likely the ANNIHILATION OF DAMASCUS by nuclear strike. Gog decides to descend upon Israel than he gets a very evil "idea":

"Thus saith the Lord God; It shall come to pass, that at the
S  A  M  E     T  I  M  E
shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an
E  V  I  L     T  H  O  U  G  H  T:
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the
LAND OF UN-WALLED VILLAGES;

I will go to them that are at REST, that DWELL SAFELY,
all of them dwelling without WALLS, and having neither BARS NOR GATES,
TO TAKE A SPOIL,(Jer.51:48)
and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are
N O W  I N H A B I T E D,
and upon the people that are
GATHERED OUT OF NATIONS,
which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land".

(Ezekial 38:10-12)

"Therefore shall evil come upon thee;
THOU SHALT NOT KNOW
from whence it riseth: and
M  I  S  C  H  I  E  F
shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and
DESOLATION SHALL COME UPON THEE

S  U  D  D  E  N  L  Y,
 which
THOU SHALT NOT KNOW".

(Isaiah 47:11)

        It is this student of "bible prophecies" belief that when "GOG" decides to come upon the nation of Israel, Gog comes up with the "evil" thought of TAKING AMERICA/BABYLON. This scenario makes total military sense as well for in one fowl swoop the enemies of America/Babylon and the nation of Israel can conquer and take a "SPOIL" by un-announced, surprise PRECISION NUCLEAR STRIKES to leave Babylon utterly in-capacitated so the hordes of Gog can take a "spoil"....at least that is there plan, but God turns all the "mischief" around and all the "double-crossing" and recompenses it back on their own heads. That is why the taking of Babylon is alluded to in Jeremiah & Revelation as coming upon it by total "SURPRISE" and without warning. The peoples of N.America have no idea that this is coming upon them and catches them totally off guard leaving Babylon open to its intruders. In many places of prophecy it states that Babylon allows "strangers" and "foreigners" entrance into the nation in its quest to SUBVERT and bring down from within. Terrorists, "spies", ultra-extremist political factions working with the "princes" and the "bands" of Gog, and even the secret-government of the U.S.A. God repeats twice in the same verse in Isaiah that the people of America/Babylon" SHALL NOT KNOW". The "mischief" of Gog and his "bands" comes un-expectedly upon the inhabitants of Babylon rendering it totally 'annihilated'. The "snare" of the Lord catches the king of Babylon "IN" Babylon, and his recompense comes upon his head and also upon the peoples of America/Babylon. it comes upon them in a "WINK", a "MOMENT" and the vast majority "fall in the streets" along with the "mighty men", for the "ARROWS" of Gog do not return VOID!!!. Jeremiah speaks expressly that every 'arrow' hits its mark like as a "mighty EXPERT man", and all of them do what they were 'launched'  to do. When you read the passages prophesying against "Damascus" and its destruction, it has the exact same ring as the "Taking of Babylon" and the wording is almost identical, and that's because I believe the two events happen in "sequence" and at the same time of one another. This is how "Jerusalem" and its connection to the last days Babylon and its "King" is entwined within the "TRIBULATION" scenario. The whole 'eight" beast scenario of Revelation, the nation of Babylon and its incarnation into the 8th beast, the empire of Antichrist, the slaughter of Gods people, the taking over by the occult, all ends up in destruction and ISRAEL is the 'spark plug" that ignites it all. Now, when Gog and all his bands come down against the nation of Israel through the mountains, God destroys 5/6ths of all Gogs armies by earthquake and by "FIRE" according to Ezekial 38 and 39 and something else is very interestingly alluded to as well.

"And I will send a
F  I  R  E
on MAGOG, and among them that
DWELL CARELESSLY IN THE ISLES:
and they shall know that I am the Lord".

(Ezekial 39:6)

        Now, this is a very fast and strange remark that is put in by Ezekial here in ch.39. The focus all throughout Ezek.38 & 39 is the attempt of Gog or Russia and all the muslim states that surround Israel.......the nation in the middle east!. Why this seemingly unassociated remark that parallels and  in so many other verses in prophecy, the nation of end-time America Babylon, if God is talking about a event situated in the middle east?. Because as I've been trying to show, this event causes Gog Magog and all bands including the "confederacy" against Israel, to come against Babylon by SURPRISE and destroys her by NUCLEAR FIRE!!!. Today amongst those that claim to be "remnant" christianity, even understanding the truth of end time Babylon and the distortion of end time bible prophecy, have to tally denied the other side of the equation, denying that the nation of Israel is integrated into the equation. Understanding that the modern view and concept of a 7 YEAR TRIBULATION as upheld today is UTTERLY FALSE, and remnant christianity understands this, we see the extremities of both positions and views of the last days, and can understand now to what extent the deception is going to wax to. The tribulation will be 3 1/2 years in length, will consist of the God Magog war, a "covenant" of some type between Israel and all her enemy neighbors, a nuclear war in the middle east, and the TAKING OF BABYLON by surprise nuclear attack ALL in the space of 3 and 1/2 years.  This along with a whole host of other calamities, yet ALL of the facets observed in scripture that is denied by one or the other side will come to pass. When the shaking begins, Christ said to "come out of her and stand afar, and let JERUSALEM come into your mind". JERUSALEM is the cup of trembling and it is talking about Jerusalem in the middles east, not the "new Jerusalem" that is being built by the NWO in Babylon/America. The attempt by the enemy neighbors of Israel the nation starts the ball rolling and America/Babylon will soon be taken not long after. The allusion of end-time America/Babylon and its "Nebuchadrezzar", the "king" of Babylon is spoken of in the famous prophetical passages against Babylon:

"Israel is a SCATTERED sheep; the lions have
driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath
devoured him; and
L A S T

this
NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON
hath broken his bones".

(Jeremiah 50:17)

        So then, the last days "king" of Babylon is called LUCIFER, ANTICHRIST, "NEBUCHADREZZAR", KING OF BABYLON!!!. The ruler that will reside over John's "EIGHTH BEAST" will bare all these titles prophetically. The "transformed" America into the "revived" 3rd BEAST or rather the "fascist socialist" reincarnation of HITLER'S 3RD REICH, a UN "police state", will be the kingdom of Antichrist the King of Babylon. This direct reference to "Nebuchadrezzar" is made again in Jer.51:34, for it seems a great deal of Gods wrath against Babylon is because of the dealings of its "king", and the judgments exacted against her with him in mind. As I've shown earlier, other prophets in the O.T. also reflect the dealings of this last-days "Nebuchadrezzar" that deals deceitfully with "Jerusalem" and the nation of Israel. The parallels are stark in scripture, and as in the past, Israel was "scattered" and TAKEN to Babylon, where its "king" dealt deceitfully with Israel and its inhabitants and had the judgments of God exacted on her. Do a study on the historical "Nebuchadrezzar" and his dealings with Israel in the bible and you'll see the stark contrast  with the prophetical end-time Antichrist/king of Babylon. The "dual" fulfillment of bible prophecy is to be found a great deal in the area of end-time Babylon and its coming judgment. The "taking" or rather the downfall of the second Babylonian kingdom brought the "freedom" of the jews historically, and its parallel is found in end-time prophecy dealing with America/Babylon, for at its "taking", those who have escaped the sword are stand AFAR OFF and let "JERUSALEM" come into ones mind (Jer.51:50). This because the Lord warns in verse 45 to FLEE OUT OF THE "MIDST" OF BABYLON so as to "escape" the "plagues" that are to be exacted upon her. "Jerusalem" is mentioned a couple of times in Jer.50 & 51, and is quite interesting when you take into account the other prophecies waged against Babylon by the other prophets in the bible. All of these prophecies tend to place "Israel" in Babylon or rather the "Israelites", and Jerusalem as an entity non attached to the Israelites in Babylon. What I mean is, prophecy tends to make both the "nation" of Israel and "Israel" or rather SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, two distinct entities that are separate, yet God "unites" eventually in the end. Historical Israel was "scattered" to the four winds into all kingdoms, and the modern day nation of Israel is NOT the homeland for the "Israelites"........yet!. Jerusalem is always referred to as a "cup of trembling" in end time prophecy, for she is the "SPARK" or rather the "catalyst" that creates the "explosion" into the Tribulation period. Now, "Jerusalem" is mentioned majorally in end-time prophecy, and no where more-so then in Ezekial ch.16. God gives a whole chapter on his utter detestment of the dealings of the last days nation of Israel. God calls the nation of Israel a "whore" and a "harlot" and he details her "fornications" with her neighboring enemies. But he staes at the end of chapter 16, that he will honor his "everlasting covenant" he made with her, and does not destroy her like he does all her enemies that surrounds her. If you do not think so, read Isa.11:15-16 for the Lord utterly destroys the "tongue" of the Egyptian Sea so that men can go over "dryshod" which is a symbolic enactment of the Exodus. There is some major, major, stuff that happens folks, and it pre-empts the Taking of Babylon which is the "coup de grass". What cannot be more over emphasized, is the total "surprise" that is alluded to all throughout bible prophecy, of this sudden destruction of Babylon. In almost every prophetical passage dealing with this, there is almost always an allusion to this 'surprise':

"Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that
DWELLEST CARELESSLY,
that sayest in thine heart, I AM, and none else beside me;
I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
But these two things shall come to thee
IN A MOMENT IN ONE DAY,
the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee
in their perfection for the multitude of thy SORCERIES, and
for the great abundance of thine ENCHANTMENTS".

(Isaiah 47:8-9)

        This is a famous passage of prophecy directed against end-time Babylon, and as you can see, she is wasted in a MOMENT IN ONE DAY. When you mix this with Jer.50 & 51 and a whole host of other passages, you get the "big picture" that there is a very sudden annihilation of America/Babylon, which is "ignited" by a war in the middle east. The center of attention of that war is JERUSALEM, and it leads into the very 'sudden' destruction of America/Babylon & Canada/land of the Chaldeans via nuclear assault on key targeted cities and structures for the "Bear" and all its cubs and the great company with them, want to take a SPOIL as the scripture suggests. By looking at these very detailed and distinct wordings, a picture starts to become increasingly clear, and there are multitudes of little "connectors" throughout the prophetical books, that paints a picture and or pictures within pictures of this last days scenario. In the opening chapter of Habakkuks book, a very clear picture is given of last days America/Babylon, and how she sits on top of the world. What is not noticed by many, is a very allusive verse at the end of the passage describing America/Babylon, that is referring to "Nebuchadrezzar", and if you do not pay attention, you will miss something very important:

 

"Then shall
"HIS"

MIND CHANGE,
and he shall
PASS OVER,

and
OFFEND, (Dan. 11:31)
imputing this his

POWER UNTO HIS GOD (Dan.11:38)".

(Habakkuk 1:11)

OFFEND

       Now, realizing that the anti-rapture crowd, the so-called and "self" claimed REMNANT CHRISTIANITY, who espouse to a "3 1/2" TRIBULATION, utterly deny and reject the dealings of the Antichrist and the COVENANT WITH "THE NATION" OF ISRAEL, and in particular, JERUSALEM. Having correctly interpreted Daniel 9 into realizing there is only 1/2 week left which will be the tribulation, they deny Dan. 11:35 where the dealings of the Antichrist who is the King of Babylon and the "PLACING" of the "abomination that maketh desolate", is a LITERAL ACT and it is done in the LAST DAYS......."even to the TIME OF THE END: because it is YET for a appointed time"........Now, they would claim that this was the act done by Antiochus Epiphanies in the temple, but this says it is clearly not so for it is for that appointed time AT THE END as verse 35 states it is. The couple of verses before it I believe is talking about believers through the Tribulation so then the King of Babylon who is alluded to as a third party in Dan. 11 has something to do with the placing of the abomination that maketh desolate IN THESE LAST DAYS!!!. The call to "flee to the mountains" is given when the Antichrist reveals himself plainly and it commence the last 3 1/2 years or 1/2 WEEK which is the Tribulation. What people do not realize and completely overlook is that the taking f Babylon, and the Tribulation are NOT connected to what is known as "Armageddon" and the "Day of the Lord". The day of the Lord folks happens Immediately after the Tribulation according to Matt.24:29, and Armageddon doesn't take place until AFTER the Millennium according to Revelation 20:7-9 because its the only other place in scripture you will hear the terms GOG & MAGOG and it happens when Satan is let loose a little while to test the saints yet once again. So then, you say why is Russia and Gog Magog involved in the taking of Babylon if there not to happen till AFTER the millennium?. Because it is very easy to see the pattern in bible prophecy of dual and sometimes multiple fulfillment and that the Tribulation is a "mirror" of a yet future Armegeddon in which both events are very very similar and the participants the same. Now, this passage of Habakkuk is very strange for it seems totally out of place with what is being spoken about.....Babylon, unless of course the "HIS" being spoken of here is the king of Babylon which makes perfect sense. And if it does, it also confirms the placing of the abomination scenario which it would seem.  We shall be looking at this more closely as the veil becomes lifted in these areas of bible prophecy, for like most bible prophecy, it is not really recognized as coming to fruition until AFTER it has passed, and for other prophecy, it will be recognized as it unfolds. We shall continue.....

BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A CUP OF TREMBLING...
