NEWS BRIEF:  "Thursday -- The Day The Middle East Stepped Back From War", Rense.com, February 23, 2001, http://www.sightings.com/general8/warr.htm

"Very few people knew how close the Middle East came on Thursday Feb. 22 to exploding in a regional war. At 6 am., Israel placed its forces on high missile readiness after being alerted by US intelligence to movements by 6 Iraqi armored divisions deployed close to frontier with Syria. American satellites additionally picked up Iraqi preparations for launching long-range surface missiles. DEBKAfile's sources disclose the trigger of this sequence: a warning from a European government, probably Britain, to Iraqi intelligence that Israel would not again sit still and wait for Iraqi missiles to rain down on its towns as it did in the 1991 Gulf War. It planned to pre-empt any missile attack by knocking out Iraqi missile concentrations on the ground, as well the 6 armored divisions poised for advance since early in the Palestinian Intifada. This Iraqi strength, Saddam was told, would be disposed of swiftly with the help of small neutron bombs."

"Iraqi decision-makers were impressed enough to test American and Israeli reflexes: they pushed ahead with technical preparations for the launching of surface missiles, taking them up to one stage before Saddam's firing order. "

"Israel received the information that the missiles would be ready for that last button to be pushed at 6 pm Thursday evening."
 
"One hour earlier, 2 US Awacs and 4 Hawkeye- A2C spy planes , and another 36 assorted US and British fighter craft, took off from the Turkish base at Incherlik and from US Navy carriers in the region, and headed for Iraq's Western Desert. Their mission was to flatten Saddam's surface missiles the moment the spy planes reported them operational."
 
"Opposite Syria's Mediterranean coast, Israeli Air Force craft took off at the same time. As they crossed over the desert, the US and British airborne flotilla ran into fierce anti-air missile fire from batteries emplaced north of the Iraqi oil city of Mosul - altogether 35 missiles were fired. The allied fighters blasted the Iraqi batteries in return but caused very little damage."
 
"A few minutes after 6 pm, everyone started breathing upon learning that the Iraqi surface missiles had become stationary. Israel called off its missile alert at 19.30 hours, as DEBKAfile reported half an hour later."
"Thursday's scare can be expected to recur in the coming days and weeks."  

This author, above, understandably believes that Iraq's Saddam Hussein took the world to the brink of all-our regional war in the Middle East by ordering his missile commanders to begin the firing sequence necessary to fire his theater missiles against Israel.  According to this report, Hussein ordered his troops to stand down at the last second, as he was "sufficiently impressed" by the air armada headed his way.

From my experience in U.S. Army Intelligence, I do not believe that this is the reason Hussein ordered his missile commanders to go through the sequence necessary to fire his missiles. Rather, this step could very probably be the immediate predecessor to an attack, and can rightly be viewed as the last preparations Hussein would likely make before actually launching his missiles.

What is Hussein up to, you might ask?

I believe that Hussein likely ordered his commanders to initiate missile firing sequence so that his commanders could see the total picture of reaction on the part of the combined U.S., British, and Israeli forces.  Let us examine this story to see what Hussein could have learned about the capabilities of the combined forces arrayed against him.

Hussein likely learned:

1.  The time it took combined U.S., British, and Israeli intelligence services to react to the beginning of the actual initiation of the firing sequence.  Iraqi commanders knew the instant they began the firing initiation, and they knew the moment the intelligence services of the combined forces reacted.  Thus, Iraqi leadership now knows the exact time they have in which to operate before the combined intelligence's will detect the firing sequence.  We do not know what this time period is, but Iraqi commanders now know.  Thus, they likely will attempt to conceive of a strategy that will be able to initiate the firing within this observed time period, so that Iraqi missiles could be fired before reaction can begin.

2.  From the reaction of the combined forces, Iraqi commanders now better know the capability of the intelligence services arrayed against them.  They know if their enemy intelligence's detected everything they were doing, or if they did not detect all of what they were doing.  This intelligence information could be critical to the success of the ultimate missile firing when it does occur.

3.  Iraqi commanders now know exactly what combination of forces the U.S., British, and Israeli units put into the air against them.  These commanders now know exactly what weaponry the combined forces pressed into action,  from what direction they came, and what targets they tried to hit. This understanding will be of great use when the firing actually does occur, and maybe, just maybe, Hussein has confidence in some of the new military capabilities supplied him lately by both the Russians and the Chinese.

4.  Iraqi commanders now know the exact time period it took for their combined enemy to put forces into the air.  Several months ago, when Russian stealth fighter-bombers penetrated U.S. Naval Forces' radar so completely that the presence of three of the bombers was not detected until they were seen above the deck of the USS Kitty Hawk, it took the Kitty Hawk 40 full minutes to put a fighter into the air to confront the Russians.  Now, Russian commanders know exactly how long it will take American forces in the future to put up fighters once a peril is identified.

5.  Finally, Iraqi commanders now know the effects of the combined forces as they attacked one of the Iraqi missile targets.  This article records the sad fact that this attack destroyed very little, and evidently did not diminish the military capability of the Iraqi site.  American and British forces last week carried out a highly publicized attack on Iraqi radar and command and control facilities, using our very latest Naval Stand-off Missile.  After initially reporting great success in destroying or damaging their targets, the Pentagon had to admit a few days later that their missiles missed their targets fully 60% of the time.  We only destroyed 38%-40% of the targets.  Now, combined forces have had two failures in one week's time.  Hussein must be smiling broadly these days.

Therefore, this Iraqi exercise was just that:  an exercise, a simulated missile firing sequence.  On February 22, 2001, Hussein did not intend to actually attack, but only to simulate such an attack so realistically that they would stimulate enemy combined forces into action.  By watching the action, Hussein and his top military commanders learned a great deal about their combined enemy.  Thus, when Hussein actually orders the attack, he will do so utilizing strategies that he hopes will take advantage of the opening combined forces have given him.

The only question to be answered is, does Hussein have the military capability to be able to at least cause severe damage to Israel before he is attacked and destroyed, even with the increased military intelligence this exercise has given him?  Or, will he be annihilated no matter what strategies he decides to employ?

This answer will only be provided on the actual battlefield.  But, of this you may be certain:  Hussein's simulated firing of his theater missiles is absolutely a sign of impending conflict. 

My Bible tells me to expect such a conflagration in the Middle East after Israel comes back to her land.

"And I will show signs and wonders in the heavens, and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.  The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord." [Joel 2:30-31] 

Not only are these effects the effects of nuclear warfare, but God foretells they will occur "before the great and terrible day of the Lord".  Many Bible scholars believe that the entire 7-year Tribulation Period constitutes the "day of the Lord".  Therefore, we may expect this kind of warfare in the Middle East before Antichrist arises to confirm the covenant with Israel's leaders, thus beginning the 7-year period.

"Proclaim this among the nations:  Prepare war! Stir up the mighty men!  Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears ... Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat [Middle East] for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.  Put in the sickle, for the vintage harvest is ripe; come, get down and tread the grapes, for the winepress is full; the vats overflow, for the wickedness of the peoples is great.  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!  For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision." [Joel 3:9-14]

The context of this prophecy of terrible war is given in Joel 3:1, where God proclaims that these events will occur after He has brought Israel back to her land.  Since Israel became a nation again in May, 1948, we know this time period is close upon us.

"... so shall all the nation drink continually [in turn, of My wrath]; yes, they shall swallow down the full measure of punishment and they shall be [destroyed] as though they had not been.  But on Mount Zion [in Jerusalem] there shall be deliverance ... and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess its own former possessions.  The house of Jacob shall be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau shall be stubble; they shall kindle and burn them and consume them and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken it." [Obadiah 16b-18]

Since the modern day descendents of the House of Esau are the Palestinians, led by Yasir Arafat, we know that the Palestinians will be annihilated man, woman and child, in an outpouring of His wrathful judgment.  And God gives the reason for this judgment, in Joel 2:2, "I will gather all nations and will bring them into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with them for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel."

God is soon to bring His physical judgment against the Arabs for all the countless terrorist attacks against innocent Jewish men, woman, and children since May, 1948.  God is about to bring upon this generation of Arabs punishment for all the collective attacks on Jews for the past 2,500 years.

"And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples; all who lift it or burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded.  And all the nations of the earth shall come and gather together against it.  In that day, says the Lord, I will smite every horse for the armies that contend against Jerusalem with terror and panic and his rider with madness:  and I will open My eyes and regard with favor the house of Judah and will smite every horse of the opposing nations with blindness ... And it shall be in that day that I will make it My aim to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."  [Zechariah 12:3-4, 9]

God will not only cause the soldiers of the armies opposing Jerusalem to panic and flee in terror against the Jewish armies, but He will actually will fight for Israel just as He fought for them in Old Testament times.

Finally, do not get caught up in the trap of believing that prophesied events will not take place because such events do not conform with historic thinking, or with common sense, or with the "national interest" of the nations involved. As events of these Last Days begin to unfold, you can throw out all common sense and all ideas of national interest, because the events will be led by human leaders who are being prompted by demonic guiding spirits.

God clearly states that End Times events will be prompted by such demonic activity, and that the plans these demons whisper into the ears of their human hosts will fulfill God's prophecies.  Listen: 

"For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His own purpose by acting in harmony in surrendering their royal power and authority to the beast, until the prophetic words of God shall be fulfilled." [Rev 17:17]  This one verse screams conspiracy in events of the Last Days.  But, then, God tells us that at least one instance of demonic leadership will occur when a demonic green orb [standard in Black Magick Witchcraft] goes into and out of the mouths of the human leaders of the world. 

"And I saw three loathsome spirits, like frogs, leaping from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet.  For really they are the spirits of demons that perform signs, wonders, miracles.  And they go forth to the rulers and leaders of all the world to gather them together for war on the great day of God the Almighty."  [Rev 16:13-14]

Today, as the forces of the Arab nations prepare to attack Israel, you need to know that this is the manner in which God will call the Arab leaders to contemplate and carry out such an attack, even though they should know such an attack is worse than folly -- it is suicide.  Events are about to commence that will make no sense, will be against all historic precedent, and will actually seem demonic in nature.

All you have to remember is that green orb going into and out of the mouths of human leaders as described in Revelation above.  Truly, these events are going to be so horrific and so deadly in terms of lives lost, that one can only understand it by understanding the demons behind it all, carrying out God's judgment, and in so doing, prompt human leaders to take actions that can only be deemed insane.

Truly, the End of the Age is upon us.  Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.
