Just a freeper observation, but there are strong indications that next week, during the time of the 9th of AV, that there will be a serious Arab attack on Israel.
The word on the street from the local Palestinians is to quote from a few "There will no longer be a Zionist problem in Palestine this month." Nobody is really talking, but I am getting veiled warnings from Palestinian friends. One such warning was a rather cryptic answer to a pointed question about war with Israel; "Do you know what the 9th of Av is? Every time Israel fights a war on the 9th of Av it looses"... People refuse to talk about war or answer any direct questions. This is very uncharacteristic for Palestinians; usually they are very verbally expressive. The following is what got me to finally write this note to you all. It is an excerpt from an email sent to me by a friend.
Today we had business to do in Jerusalem, so we left our home at 7 am and traveled down the east side of the Galilee, through Bet Shean and past the check point at Sede Trimot in the Jordan Valley.
Once we entered the Jordan Valley as we passed through the Arab agricultural areas we noticed the following which is most unusual;
1. There were no people visible working the in the fields. 2. There were no children along the side of the road.
3. There were no tractors or other farm vehicles anywhere to be seen.
4. All of the vegetables had been completely harvested and the fields were 100% empty.
5. No preparation of the fields was evident for the next planting...Plastic was everywhere from the prior crop.
6. The greenhouses had no plants in them..... 7. The vegetable stands that are normally filled to the brim from the harvest were completely vacant.
8. This is the peak season for growing vegetables in the Jordan Valley, yet everything had been harvested and nothing was growing waiting to be harvested or picked.
We concluded our business in Jerusalem and got back on the road again about 2:45 pm heading north up the Jordan Valley. Again, no people, no fruit stands, no crops, nothing!
Do these Arabs know something is about to happen that we do not know is coming? The 9th of Av is on July 23rd, which is the exact day both Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed hundreds of years apart...
This is just not how things are this time of year normally. The entire valley is the best land for growing crops in Israel and completly under the control of the Arabs. This land is the Palestinian food supply. For some reason they do not believe they need the food this year!
A friend of mine that is politicaly connected mentioned that he was thinking that the first attack date for the Arab League may be the 9th of AV, and the Sept/Oct period as the backup date. He does not believe that Syria will be ready by next week, so he thinks they will use the fall back date. However Hamas/Fatah have their people totally prepared for the first date. They may jump, even if Syria gives the no signal.
As a Biblical side reference, Isaiah 14 28-33, and Zephaniah 2 refer I believe to the destruction of the modern day Palestinians. Interestingly enough it says: " I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.." Zehpaniah 2 indicates that the industrial city of Ashkelon, (third largest city in Israel I believe), will be wiped out, but that a smoke cloud from its direction will go over Gaza, and I think kill most of the inhabitants there. Ashkelon is due north of Gaza and just a kassams throw away.
This is just a few various observations I am bringing together, but they ominously point to the same thing, a major Palestinian ground offensive may take place just next week.
This in no way is directed at you. I don’t know your thoughts, nor pretend to. That being said, in my opinion, MANY Christians quote, “No one knows the hour or the day...” because rather then study the Word and face possibly some conviction, fear, or whatever, when they read about the coming wrath of God, that verse comforts them and lets them move on and get back to the next sitcom or reality show. I think it is a cop out by so many. I have found that more then anything, studying prophecy brings me into a right relationship with the Lord, and spurs me on to share the gospel with others, far and above “date setting”.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Using that Scripture for this warning about war is . . . unfitting AT BEST.
It’s about Christ’s return.
Your statements are spot on. Thanks.
Israel will wipe the floor with them and thankfully so.
The truth is that Iran/Syria would really end up with a hugh black eye if they dare even try to do any funny business against Isreal. Remember attack Isreal, the Jewish people, then it would be an attack of the God of the Holy Bible.
Gog and Magog is Russia . . .?
= = =
A number of researchers tracing tribal movements and origins way back.
And, another Scripture of such ilk refers to the Gog/Magog group as being from
THE NORTHERNMOST country from Israel.
Moscow is virtually directly North of Jerusalem and certainly the Northernmost country.
Pretending otherwise has always left me underwhelmed.
Just a gut feeling ala Chertoff?
the Iranians would have to be suicidal

Isn’t that one of the glorious requirements of being a . . .
moonbat Jihadi?
I’mANutJob sure brags accordingly.
I rebuke that in Jesus’ Name.
I’ve not observed that of Anti-Hillary.
Sounds more like projection, to me.
God Bless Isreal and the IDF during this diffficult times.
The truth is that Isreal is like a cat when backed into a corner, those who try to attack will end up getting scratched bigtime.
Second it. God Bless BOTH the USA and Isreal. :-)
That reminds me of going up river to Saigon on a cargo ship. When we picked up the pilot at the mouth of the river, the US Navy sent helmets and flak jackets for the navigation bridge crew. We followed what the pilot did as far as putting the gear on. Some trips the pilot would walk around the bridge wings and enjoy the balmy weather and yaking with the captain. Couple trips the pilot put on all the gear and crouched behind the helmsman the whole trip with no chatter.
The 9th of Av is on July 23rd, which is the exact day both Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed hundreds of years apart...”
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the temple mosque that’s there now was destroyed on that date as well.
We certainly know that Damascus is slated for utter destruction in the same era in which Israel became a Nation again . . . i.e. the END TIMES.
The globalist traitors in Congress and . . . the other idiots you mentioned . .
have had their heads deeper than the sane . . .
in Scuba Teddy’s ample dark place.
Much agree with your excellent post. Sending it to my email list with other excerpts from this thread.
You do not have to accept a belief system in order to understand how such belief can tend to motivate those who operate within it. What you're not recognizing is the almost occult-like belief in astrology present in some sects of Islam. The 9th of Av is widely acknowledged as a day of bad fortune for Israel, and for Jews in general, which conversely makes it a very propitious day for those who oppose her. Give a look into mundane astrology (which pertains to the fate of specific peoples and nations, rather than individuals), and see what's being said about next week for Israel. The stars are always aligned, literally and to their "advantage," when these Islamic terrorist groups make a big move.

I had a similar feelng at the Dome of t Rock.
Did you see the rock tile in which the natural striations depicted a stanic looking visage?
