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.

My wife and I will be in Jerusalem in 3 weeks. Our apartment is in the German Colony, on Hizkiyahu ha Melech..More than anytime in recent history, we have felt a sense of urgency from Ha Shem that we need to get there, and get there now. My prayers are for you and your family, and for me and my family, as well as all of those that are called to be in Israel at this time..Kol ha Kavod!
“The second temple’s destruction which was destroyed by the Romans, albeit for different reasons was instigated by a revolt (several revolts, actually), but no war.” Technically you are correct, but the Zealots insured the insurrection by destroying the graneries of the High Priest, thereby assuring revolt against the Romans. Isn’t Olmert doing the same thing by giving away Eretz to its enemies?
Thank G-d for someone that understands a little about Judaism. A person can potentially have many fathers, but only one mother. Arabs lineage is reckoned through the fathers—isn’t that interesting. That is why when I hear people say that they may be Jewish because they have a little Jewish blood in them, I cringe. If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish (unless you converted.)_ If she is not, you are not. I, for one, am glad that I was grafted in...
Prayers for Israel and her people! May God strengthen and protect you!
Many thanks to TRussell for pinging the prayer list to this thread.
My apologies to those I have pinged to this posting who may have already seen it. I especially find the email communication contained in this post very interesting. It would definitely seem something is being planned, and I wonder if this is what various ME Heads of State have been referring to as their ‘summer’ surprise.
Thank you both....for you kind words.
Thanks for the ping!
Maranatha, Jesus!
Yes, and I pray for Israel like I pray for America.
Prayers are needed.

The fulfillment of prophecy and enduring faithfulness of his promises to his chosen are both humbling and reassuring.
Prayers for all.
Thanks for the alert.
Yes, there is a good chance it is the summer surprise.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I would agree with your findings.
Yes and Amen.
We shall see what we shall see.
The alert was going up in my spirit as I read your account. I am in prayer over you, if you are there, and covering the area. Prayers against what seems impending doom.
Father God, protect your children. Keep you guardian and warring angels round about them. You promise a hedge of protection in Your Word, Lord. Protect Your children. May any plans the enemy has to harm, kill, destroy fall to the ground, null, void and powerless in Jesus Name! Raise up a discernment in Your children to thwart the plans of the enemy, that no harm can be done, nothing carried out. Father God, place road blocks in the plans, cause the plans for evil to fall back upon those who are planning to carry them out. Cause mechanical difficulties, and other problems to prevent the plans from fruition. We plead the blood of Jesus over Your children, Lord! Protection, in the name of Jesus!
Thanks for the PING Trussell.
Prayers continue!
Kinda how I take it. I have seen many rumors of war come and go peacefully. I hope this one is the same.
Victory for Israel!
