In the year 634, Muslim armies entered Syria and besieged Baalbek. A mosque was built within the walls of the temple compound, which was itself converted into a citadel. Over the next several centuries, the city and region of Baalbek were controlled by various Islamic dynasties including the Umayyads, Abbasids and Fatamids as well as the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks. During these years, Baalbek was ravaged by the Tartars in 1260, Tamerlane in 1401 and was also shaken by numerous powerful earthquakes.

Israeli Planes Hit 5 Suspected Hezbollah Sites -Witnesses

Tuesday August 1st, 2006 / 21h55

BEIRUT (AP)--Israeli warplanes late Tuesday attacked at least five suspected Hezbollah positions near Baalbek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, three hours before the official end of a two-day pause in the air war.

Witnesses said fighter jets and helicopters were still above Baalbek. There was no information immediately available on what was hit or if there were casualties. The ancient city of Baalbek, a major Hezbollah stronghold, repeatedly has been pounded by Israeli fighter jets since the fighting began 21 days ago.

I saw that - a warning issues in England.

I feel like we have a confluence of events happening:

Israel/Lebanon/Syria/Iran

and now we can add Castro being ill, Chavez licking his chops and didn't Chavez meet with someone in Iran just a week or so ago?

I strongly agree about the KGB infiltrating a lot of churches. Traitorous idiots on a number of scores.

It's a fairly obvious thing in a lot of Chinese churches . . . they are the sour faced ones.

Probably true here, too.

And in both places, the satanic ones are very hostile to modern prophecy fulfillment. to Christ's 2nd Coming and related teachings.

That's another reason I know those things are true! Not that I needed one. But when satan is most hostile to something Biblically founded, then one can know that THOSE PARTICULAR BIBLICAL TRUTHS are vitally important issues or satan wouldn't fight them so fiercely.

CNN just reported very heavy helicopter presence in Baalbek area. So it seems like a large use of troops and firepower going into this area.

If those helos were allowed in without being attacked by the Lebanese armed forces, maybe the armed forces have decided to go against Hezbollah?

Also, there was a report of a crude bomb being found on a German train.

Keep aware folks. Keep your eyes open.

Baalbek is a mjor Hizballah town and HIzballah leader Nasrallah is from Baalbek. Anyway let us wait and see if there is a landing of Israeli troops there to start with, sometimes Arabs create a non existing battle so they can claim they won over their enemy.
