Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

That's what happened.
There has been no revolution in Iran.
Facts are hard to fight.
In 1979 I don’t think any muslim nations had nukes. That’s not the case today. Israel will not allow itself to be taken captive. She will go out with one heck of a bang!
On the brink is the key concept there. This pushes the clock a little closer to midnight, no doubt about it. Egypt has attacked Israel in the past. they didn’t have nealy the power then that they have now. The end game here is obvious.

That's where my money is. And III, IV, V and maybe VI.
The whole mid-east is looking shaky and we might see a caliphate from Algeria to Iran.
Time to batten down the hatches.
Godspeed
Weimar Germany is the model that comes to mind. The fanatics terrify their opponents. The Muslim Brotherhood is the Sturm Abteilung in Coptic.
Yeah, thanks to uncle Sugar.
The new Congress wants to do something, they can pass a law forbidding all sales of weapons and parts to ANY muslim country. Otherwise they'll be used against US or our allies.
You wait til we pull out of Iraq and Afghan. They're going to turn Islamic too. Might take 10 years, until we pull out, but forget about any democracy anywhere in the mideast. Jews and christians stilll have no rights in Iraq and Afghan and won't as far as the eye can see.
Back then you could also count on the status quo to remain throughout the ME. That is no longer the case.
Egypt, Jordan and Turkey are now on the precipice of succumbing to radical Islam. If that happens, Saudi Arabia will not be far behind.
And the worst part is we have Obama that will not do anything to prevent it nor will he support Israel.
Agree..watch wall street tomorrow....
Jesus will need to finish off the largest cult of history...Islam...pretty soon.
I’m sure it’s all quite by accident :) that banana ben’s printing is causing food inflation all around the world (even though the world food bank has warned repeatedly this would happen).
Lucky thing Soros/Breziniski and the International Crisis Group has El Baradei all primed and ready to step into Egypt. Kissinger said obama has a chance to bring in a new world order.
Now that Obama realizes he can do limited damage to America domestically, he’ll see how he can screw us internationally.
The area of foreign policy is way above OBambi’s pay grade. Appeasement and weakness characterize his feeble approach. I don’t know who was the worst Sec of State, HRC or Mad Albright. It looks like no one in the Executive branch has a clue. We are indeed living in a dangerous world. Obama’s World Apology Tour set the stage for this crap; when the latter hits the fan (perhaps a major attack on Israel in the near future) he will freeze like a deer in the headlights.
Arab and Islamic culture lacks rational thought, the rule of law, an independent press, individual conscience and and a respect for minority rights. The foundations of democracy are simply absent. I think the Sultan Knish aka Daniel Greenfield put it well when he wrote what is likely to happen is a new set of Islamist strongmen will emerge who will be even more repressive than the secular Arab nationalist strongmen they replace. In most of the Middle East, there is no large middle class and there is also no real sense of loyalty to the nation state which is really a cover for family or tribal rule. If the Mubaraks go, who will replace them are certainly not going to be democrats.
Just posting via cut and past a Prophesy from Isaiah that has not come to full fruition.
(The good) EGYPT TURNS TO GOD FOR SALVATION!
(The bad) But things get REALLY bad first.
Isaiah 19
A Prophecy About Egypt
1 An oracle concerning Egypt:
See, the LORD rides on a swift cloud
and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.
2 “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.
3 The Egyptians will lose heart,
and I will bring their plans to nothing;
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
the mediums and the spiritists.
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.
5 The waters of the river will dry up,
and the riverbed will be parched and dry.
6 The canals will stink;
the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.
The reeds and rushes will wither,
7 also the plants along the Nile,
at the mouth of the river.
Every sown field along the Nile
will become parched, will blow away and be no more.
8 The fishermen will groan and lament,
all who cast hooks into the Nile;
those who throw nets on the water
will pine away.
9 Those who work with combed flax will despair,
the weavers of fine linen will lose hope.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected,
and all the wage earners will be sick at heart.
11 The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools;
the wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise men,
a disciple of the ancient kings”?
12 Where are your wise men now?
Let them show you and make known
what the LORD Almighty
has planned against Egypt.
13 The officials of Zoan have become fools,
the leaders of Memphis[a] are deceived;
the cornerstones of her peoples
have led Egypt astray.
14 The LORD has poured into them
a spirit of dizziness;
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit.
15 There is nothing Egypt can do—
head or tail, palm branch or reed.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them.
18 In that day five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD Almighty. One of them will be called the City of Destruction.[b]
19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. 21 So the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and keep them. 22 The LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. 25 The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.”
That's all so confusing. Is American Idol on yet?
Unfortunately, your analysis is very likely to be borne out in fact.
May God have mercy and be close to all who have a heart toward Him.
