God Moves Hamas Missile With An East Wind

In remarks relayed to an Israeli news site (Hebrew), the Iron Dome battery commander recalled:

"A missile was fired from Gaza. Iron Dome precisely calculated its trajectory. We know where these missiles are going to land down to a radius of 200 meters. This particular missile was going to hit either the Azrieli Towers, the Kirya (Israel’s equivalent of the Pentagon) or a central Tel Aviv railway station. Hundreds could have died.

"We fired the first interceptor. It missed. Second interceptor. It missed. This is very rare. I was in shock. At this point we had just four seconds until the missile lands. We had already notified emergency services to converge on the target location and had warned of a mass-casualty incident.

"Suddenly, Iron Dome (which calculates wind speeds, among other things) shows a major wind coming from the east, a strong wind that…sends the missile into the sea. We were all stunned. I stood up and shouted, ‘There is a God!’ [...”then they shall know that I am the Lord” Ezekiel 38:23]

“I witnessed this miracle with my own eyes. It was not told or reported to me. I saw the hand of God send that missile into the sea.” ...http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24811/Default.aspx

...Their is no prevailing wind in Israel, as it has a unique meteorological status in the world because it is situated at the point of convergence of four distinct climatic systems...Israel is located at the exact point where these four opposing weather systems converge.  There is no other inhabited region on earth that experiences such a convergence of opposing weather systems (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_Israel's_prevailing_winds) 

Note in the report the fact that the wind came out of the East, as with the wind that parted the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21.   The East Wind divided the Red Sea and the dividing of the Red Sea brought deliverance to God's people, so God’s deliverance of His people is seen again through a strong East wind! 

God's Word speaks of the East Wind more than any of the other winds. The East Wind is referred to twenty-one times. When God was going to bring judgment upon Egypt to deliver His people, He used the East Wind twice (Exodus 10:13 and Exodus 14:21).   As a parallel, this may have been the second time God used the East wind to deliver Israel in this most recent war with Hamas, as it was earlier reported “We do aim our rockets, but their God changes their path in mid-air,” a Hamas commander was said to have told someone who wondered why Gaza-based militants can’t seem to hit their targets.  Whether now or later, we do know God brings his judgement on Gaza (Hamas) Zephaniah 2:4,5

So, Israel’s unique opposing weather system (was created by and) is used by God to change the direction of the winds on a split-second notice to move this missile off a certain target, which would have caused mass-casualties. “Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 41:16 ....“no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” Isaiah 54:17

...”I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 38:23...”then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 39:28,29 ...Biblical prophecy being fulfilled in real time before our eyes!

Also last week, Col. Ofer Winter, commander of the Givati Infantry Brigade, described a mysterious fog that favorably covered he and his troops as they advanced on an enemy position in morning light, after their nighttime raid was postponed.  Col. Winter labeled the covering as “clouds of glory.”  Earlier in the Gaza war, Col. Winter sparked heated national debate when he encouraged his troops to lead the charge against an enemy that “curses, defames and abuses the God of Israel.” Col. Winter concluded his letter by praying that the “Lord your God go with you, to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.” ...”Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid and do not be broken before them; for the Lord, your God He will go before you; He will not fail you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 ...”Their Merciful One will lead them, and along streams of water will He guide them.” Isaiah 49:10

The Middle East Problem

The Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world. But, in reality, it's very simple. Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a neighboring Palestinian state. And most Palestinians do not want Israel to exist. As Dennis Prager explains, this is really all you need to know. In 5 minutes, understand how Israel was founded, and how, since that auspicious day in 1948, its neighbors have tried to destroy it, again and again. 

Antisemitism on rise across Europe “in worst times since the Nazis.” Sharansky warns we’re seeing “beginning of the end” of Jews in Europe.

Joel Rosenberg: Their is a rapidly rising wave of vicious, wicked anti-Semitism that is spreading across the globe, and which is particularly pernicious in Europe. Never in my lifetime have I seen and experienced so many anti-Semitic attacks, in this case often through Twitter. I can’t even quote most of the Tweets I’m getting. They are so vile, filled with F-bombs and other obscenities, and language like, “Jews should burn.” and “Hitler was right.”

A Jewish news service focused on stunning remarks by Natan Sharansky, the head of the Jewish Agency. The article was headlined, “In Paris, Sharansky warns of ‘beginning of end’ for European Jewry.”

Consider in particular excerpts from The Guardian story:

1. •In the space of just one week last month, according to Crif, the umbrella group for France’s Jewish organisations, eight synagogues were attacked.
   

2. •One, in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles, was firebombed by a 400-strong mob.
   

3. •A kosher supermarket and pharmacy were smashed and looted; the crowd’s chants and banners included “Death to Jews” and “Slit Jews’ throats”.
   

4. •That same weekend, in the Barbes neighbourhood of the capital, stone-throwing protesters burned Israeli flags: “Israhell”, read one banner.
   

5. •In Germany last month, molotov cocktails were lobbed into the Bergische synagogue in Wuppertal – previously destroyed on Kristallnacht – and a Berlin imam, Abu Bilal Ismail, called on Allah to “destroy the Zionist Jews … Count them and kill them, to the very last one.”
   

6. •Bottles were thrown through the window of an antisemitism campaigner in Frankfurt.
   

7. •An elderly Jewish man was beaten up at a pro-Israel rally in Hamburg.
   

8. •An Orthodox Jewish teenager punched in the face in Berlin.
   

9. •In several cities, chants at pro-Palestinian protests compared Israel’s actions to the Holocaust; other notable slogans included: “Jew, coward pig, come out and fight alone,” and “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas.”
   

10. •“These are the worst times since the Nazi era,” Dieter Graumann, president of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, told the Guardian. “On the streets, you hear things like ‘the Jews should be gassed’, ‘the Jews should be burned’ – we haven’t had that in Germany for decades. Anyone saying those slogans isn’t criticising Israeli politics, it’s just pure hatred against Jews: nothing else. And it’s not just a German phenomenon. It’s an outbreak of hatred against Jews so intense that it’s very clear indeed.”
    

11. •Roger Cukierman, president of France’s Crif, said French Jews were “anguished” about an anti-Jewish backlash that goes far beyond even strongly felt political and humanitarian opposition to the current fighting.
    

12. •“They are not screaming ‘Death to the Israelis’ on the streets of Paris,” Cukierman said last month. “They are screaming ‘Death to Jews’.”
    

13. •Crif’s vice-president Yonathan Arfi said he “utterly rejected” the view that the latest increase in antisemitic incidents was down to events in Gaza. “They have laid bare something far more profound,” he said.
    

Please take some time to read them, and share them with others. And please pray for the Lord to protect the Jewish people, and the nation of Israel, at this dark time.

The Bible describes the Lord as “the God of Israel” and “the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.” The Bible makes clear that God loves the Jewish people “with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3), as He loves all people (John 3:16). What’s more, in His Word, the Lord commands us to love and bless Jews and Israel or face consequences.

“Those who bless you, I will bless,” the Lord says, “and those who curse you I will curse.” (Genesis 12:3)

...This article and the one below is a clear fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3 “Jerusalem will become a burdensome stone for all people”...God’s end-time consequence: “The God of Israel will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem” Zechariah 12:9 ...the current Gaza War and other pending war activity now surrounding Israel is not going to end well for those seeking Israel’s destruction...Biblical prophecy being fulfilled in real time before our eyes!

The War Continues; PA Official - Clear the Land of Jews from Jordan to the Sea

As expected HAMAS renewed its rocket attacks against Israel today. The IAF immediately went back into combat air operations, striking targets throughout Gaza. 

There is now no question about it - the IDFs boots on the ground have a mission to complete, and not just in Gaza. INN/Arutz Sheva is reporting this morning that Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi has made a public call for the destruction of the State of Israel. "We [Fatah] remain committed to the promise: freedom, independence, and driving out the occupier from the entire pure land, from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea." Tawfiq Tiwari has made such statements in the past, most recently when the unity agreement came this past April between HAMAS and Fatah. Such statements are 100% consistent with the prophetic text of Psalm 83:4.

Another senior PA official, Azzam al-Ahmad, who is the lead PA negotiator in Cairo, made public statements today reinforcing the now established fact that Fatah, HAMAS and the PIJ are currently on the same page with respect to continuing the war they started against Israel. These jihadi calls by the senior PA leadership did not fall upon deaf ears in Judea and Samaria, particularly in Hebron where violence and green Islamic HAMAS flags were evidence everywhere the eye dared to gaze. The same was true in Amman, Jordan where "Death to Israel" was the order of the day. Friday is the Muslim prayer day, so the mosques and their imams were clearly working a higher jihad against Israel gear than has been noted previously.

Rumors Abound but God’s Protection of Israel is No Fable

“A land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.” Deuteronomy 11:12

“Like flying birds, so will God protect Jerusalem, protecting and rescuing, passing over and delivering.”

Isaiah 31:5

Over the more than month long Operation Protective Edge conflict between Hamas terrorists and the IDF, a strikingly few number of civilian casualties have been suffered on the Israeli side.

Over 3,356 rockets have been fired at Israel, with that number rising everyday, and only four people have been killed as a result of rocket fire. While Israel’s Iron Dome is a wonder to behold and responsible for maintaining the safety of Israeli civilians from rocket fire, the numbers show that only 578 rockets were destroyed by Iron Dome Interceptions, or roughly 17 percent of all rockets fired at Israel.

Simple statistics show that there is something extraordinary occurring here.

Whether one chooses to believe that providence is behind the overwhelming number of misfired rockets or not, one must admit that the number of casualties should in theory be higher. After all, Hamas is quite experienced when it comes to rocket fire at Israel, having more than 14 years of experience.

Combine the above observation with the somewhat historical and biblical outlook of the Israeli public and military, and one is bound to come away with a viewpoint that at the very least recognizes the possibility of divine protection or intervention, thus setting the stage for the myriad of ‘bonafide’ stories telling of divine intervention sprouting forth like wildfire on social media networks in Israel.

Stories abound of mystical beings visiting soldiers while on duty in and around the Gaza strip and warning them of entering booby-trapped houses or buildings filled with explosives. These spirits prevent the soldiers from entering houses that were later to be found out had been booby-trapped and if entered would mean instant death for the soldiers.

Others tell of gusts of wind that blew rockets aimed at major population center off course after the Iron Dome counter-attack had failed numerous times. Some stories tell of good deeds done by the soldiers that had saved their lives such prayer or making a blessing upon food.

....one thing can be said for certain; the unusually low numbers in Israeli civilian casualties, is beyond surprising, and may very well point to some divine providence involved in protecting the lives of IDF soldiers as well as Israeli civilians....http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/19812/rumors-abound-gods-protection-israel-fable/#rccLGtAv8zzWgPjo.97

”I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 38:23

IS THE PSALM 83 CONFEDERACY (ISLAMIC CALIPHATE) SURROUNDING ISRAEL?

“They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”  For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:  The tents of Edom [Palestinians & Southern Jordanians] and the Ishmaelites [Saudies]; Moab [Palestinians & Central Jordanians] and the Hagrites [Egyptians]; Gebal [Hezbollah & Northern Lebanese], Ammon [Palestinians & Northern Jordanians], and Amalek [Arabs of the Sinai Area]; Philistia [Hamas of Gaza] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Hezbollah & Southern Lebanese]; Assyria [Syrians & Northern Iraqi’s] also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot [Children of Lot = Moabites and Ammonites, thus the modern day Palestinians will be the principal power engaged in the confederacy against Israel. The others come to assist them].”  Psalm 83:4-8

In Deuteronomy 23:3-6, this warning is given to Israel "No Ammonite or Moabite shall enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter the assembly of the LORD for ever; because they did not meet you with bread and water on the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you. Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loved you. YOU SHALL NOT SEEK THEIR PEACE OR THEIR PROSPERITY ALL YOUR DAYS FOR EVER.” ...thus, it is VERY clear, God is not going to allow a two-State solution, or any solution to forming a PA-Hamas government (especially one sharing Jerusalem as its capital), and Israel is NOT to seek their Peace or their Prosperity - EVER! ...unfortunately this is not going to end well for the PA-Hamas as prophesied in Zephaniah 2:4,5

From all indications, the current situation in Gaza will continue and escalate until either Israel takes back total control over Gaza and destroys Hamas, or an Islamic confederacy joins with them to help them win the war against Israel.  It currently appears that help could come from the Islamic State.  It is becoming very clear that ISIS or IS, the Islamic State Caliphate, has an End-Game - it is the DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL...they are ultimately forming a confederacy against Israel and gathering other radical Islamic Sunni jihadists from surrounding States (one by one) to join them as they most likely come and join with the children of Lot (PA-Hamas) and together, with one united consent, seek to destroy Israel, so it will be remembered no more.  It would appear the Psalm 83 Confederacy (or Islamic Caliphate) is rapidly taking form as the following recent news stories support:

ARE THE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS OF ISIS TRAVELING A CIRCULAR ROUTE TO ISRAEL?

With each passing week of the incalculable damage being wrought across the Middle East by the jihadists of the new Islamic State – ISIS – something quite startling is beginning to take shape. It is beginning to look like their end game goal is to arrive at Israel’s doorstep...http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=24022

ISLAMIC STATE TO JOIN PALESTINE TO FIGHT THE 'BARBARIC JEWS'

The Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, told Palestine the terrorist group will join its fight against the “barbaric Jews” but urged patience until ISIS is finished in Arab countries. The group wants to weaken the United States in Arab countries first..."It is only a matter of time and patience before it (Islamic State) reaches Palestine to fight the barbaric Jews and kill those of them hiding behind the gharqad trees – the trees of the Jews.”...http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/08/01/Islamic-State-to-Join-Palestine-to-Fight-the-Barbaric-Jews

ISIS Says Group Will ‘Break All Borders To Reach Jerusalem’

This is the declaration of the Islamic “caliphate.” ...the ISIS will eventually break all of the Middle East borders to make way to Jerusalem. “This is not the first border we will break,” “God will break all barriers..Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon…all of the them until we reach Jerusalem. This is the first of many barriers we will break.”...http://www.israelislamandendtimes.com/isis-says-group-will-break-borders-reach-jerusalem/

IS Actively Joining Gaza Terror War on Israel

As Operation Protective Edge holds in a temporary ceasefire, evidence has come out revealing the extent of the extremist Sunni group Islamic State's (IS, formerly ISIS) involvement in the terror war against Israel from the Hamas stronghold of Gaza. Terror organizations associated with IS and Al Qaeda have been proven to be joining the fight against Israel in Gaza, firing rockets on Israeli civilian population centers and attacking IDF troops...more troubling is a Channel 10 report which on Sunday exposed that in recent months black IS flags have been commonly seen in Arab-Israeli towns in northern and coastal Israel, notably in the cities of Nazareth and Akko...http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183920#.U-mL-tzmQ9V

Islamic State beheads, crucifies in push for Syria's east

The insurgents, who are also making rapid advances in Iraq, are tightening their grip in Syria, of which they now control roughly a third, mostly rural areas in the north and east...militants crucified two men for the crime of "dealing with apostates" and two others were beheaded for blasphemy... http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/11/us-syria-crisis-east-idUSKBN0GB0WK20140811...and in another report, ISIS fighters abducted more than 100 Yazidi women and children from the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar, a 5 Year Old son of a founder of Baghdad’s Anglican church was “cut in half during an attack by the Islamic State and other children have been beheaded.

ISIS militants encircling key rebel city of Aleppo

Syrian rebels could suffer their biggest setback of the war as government troops and Islamic militants are encircling the key northwestern city of Aleppo. The Wall Street Journal reports that the fall of the city could also be a recruiting boon to the Islamic State, the militant group formerly known as ISIS, with members of the Western-backed Free Syria Army (FSA) joining with the militants...http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/08/13/syrian-forces-reportedly-close-to-encircling-key-rebel-city-aleppo/

In Psalms 83:8  Assyria = Northern Syria & Northern Iraq. The ISIS is in almost complete control over these regions as Muslim radicals from other surrounding States are joining ISIS, which almost assures that ISIS will enter Lebanon as well as Jordan - and an ISIS entry into Jordan will absolutely cause an IDF response which could likely trigger Psalms 83 and a host of other regional wars and devastation (Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 & 19, Ezekiel 35, Zephaniah 2:4-15, Zechariah 12:1-9)

If Sunni ISIS wins victory at Aleppo the western Sunni rebel freedom fighters lose. Shite Assad is watching this battle very closely.

(1) Assad might have to turn some of his missiles he has pointed at Israel north aimed at ISIS.

(2) Should Assad lose ground and figure all is lost against ISIS Assad and Shite Hezbollah forces could start launching their rockets upon Israel and then Damascus would be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1) and Hezbollah in Lebanon areas would become desolate.

(3) Hezbollah has the majority of its forces in the Psalms 83:7 areas of Gebal & Tyre [Northern & Southern Lebanon].

(4) Sunni ISIS, Sunni Hamas, Sunni Al-Qaeda in Sinai and Sunni Salafi in Jordan then may all attack Israel and perish. (Psalms 83:6-8)

ISIS however may just enter Jordan and the Psalms 83 war could also be triggered in that way. Anyway one looks at the situation the prophetic pieces are there. The exact order of events will not be possibly known until the events actually happen but the timing of this prophecy does seem to be getting much shorter.

Here is what Wikipedia says about The Islamic State (IS): Also known as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levent) is a jihadist group and in its self-proclaimed status as a caliphate, it claims religious authority over all Muslims across the world and aspires to bring much of the Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its direct political control, beginning with territory in the Levant region, which includes Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and an area in southern Turkey...ISIS or ISIL is known for its harsh interpretation of the Islamic faith and sharia law and has a record of extreme and brutal violence, which is directed at Shia Muslims and Christians in particular...when it comes to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, since ISIS regards the Palestinian Sunni group Hamas as apostates who have no legitimate authority to lead jihad, it regards fighting Hamas as the first step toward confrontation with Israel...the group's intention to eliminate all modern borders between Islamic Middle Eastern countries; this was a reference to the borders set by the Sykes–Picot Agreement...The group is currently led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was declared a Specially Designated Global Terrorist on 4 October 2011 by the US State Department. 

NOTE in the above, ISIL seeks to control (among others areas) Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon - it already controls much of Iraq and Syria, and the “Levant” includes the control of ISRAEL! ...looks like almost all the Psalm 83 confederacy is present and accounted for under the control of the Islamic State!!

To better understand why/how things have gotten this way (besides the fact, all of this is clearly prophesied) and to understand exactly who the Islamic State is, how fanatical and brutal they are, what they are currently doing, and where they are headed, first view “The Middle East Problem” Video - August 6 (below) or linked here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EDW88CBo-8 and then see the five-part youtube video documentary below (just released this week) - “The Spread of the Islamic State Caliphate,” or follow these links:
            Keep a very close eye on the Islamic State and their rapid spread into and control of the Psalm 83 confederacy states and groups, and their march toward Israel...Biblical prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes!

"Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near." Joel 2:1

The Spread of the Caliphate: The Islamic State

In the Special Report further below, I noted the following: “NOTE in the above, ISIL seeks to control (among others areas) Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon - it already controls much of Iraq and Syria, and the “Levant” includes the control of ISRAEL! ...looks like almost all the Psalm 83 confederacy is present and accounted for under the control of the Islamic State!!”...the only Psalm 83 Confederacy States that were missing from current ISIS terrorist activity and control were Egypt and Saudi Arabia - they have now been identified as ISIS targets and included, see below.

Hezbollah Worried About the Islamic State 'Monster'
After reports last week that the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) has gained a foothold in Lebanon's Arsal, Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah expressed a definite note of fear as he warned of the IS "monster."...IS is planning "on expanding toward JORDAN and SAUDI ARABIA by undermining the security and stability of these countries," Nasrallah said..."There is a support for ISIS wherever there is a following of Takfiri (apostate) thinking, and this applies to Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states," added the terrorist leader.  Even as he spoke about how the IS "monster" threatens countries in the area, Nasrallah called Israel "an illegal entity and...a longstanding threat to the region. We cannot live with this threat. This is why the ultimate goal for this (region) is to eliminate (Israel)."...http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/184074#.U_DGI9zmQ9U

ISIS RELEASES MAP OF 5-YEAR PLAN TO SPREAD FROM SPAIN TO CHINA

The areas in Black are the territories ISIS wishes to incorporate into the newly announced caliphate...the westernmost territory of the map, labeled "Maghreb," is the Western Sahara, including Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and a host of other nations. In Europe, the western limits of the empire are Spain-- "Al-Andaluz"-- a territory once controlled by Muslims in the Middle Ages. The map then incorporates almost every nation between Spain and the borders of China, as well as "Greece, Romania and Bulgaria - extending its territories in eastern Europe as far as Austria, which appears to be based on a pre-First World War borders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire."...http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/07/01/ISIS-Releases-Map-of-5-Year-Plan-to-Spread-from-Spain-to-China...this certainly includes EGYPT (identified here as The Land of Alkinana) ...so all the Psalm 83 Confederacy States and groups are now identified as being under the control of (or influence of) ISIS/ISIL, with their ultimate goal of “Breaking All Borders To Reach Jerusalem” ...so, “Is The Psalm 83 Confederacy (Islamic Caliphate) Surrounding Israel?” is ISIS the common uniting denominator?  - it certainly appears at this time to be the case!  ...Bible Prophecy being fulfilled in real time before our eyes!

"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption draws near."  Luke 21:28

Interesting Note:  ISIS was an ancient Egyptian goddess (protector of the dead) and the mother of Horus.  Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion.  "Horus, son of Isis" and also known as the “Eye of Horus” is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, in this case from Horus or Ra. The symbol is seen on the top of the pyramid on the U.S. dollar bill - the all seeing eye.  Horus was also said to be a god of war - he became a symbol of majesty and power as well as the model of the pharaohs.  In later Egyptian dynastic times, Ra was merged with the god Horus (Ra and Horus were one and the same).  He was believed to rule in all parts of the created world: [the goal of the Islamic State and of the antichrist] the sky , the earth, and the underworld...how fitting, ISIS (Islamic State) seems to be the end-time embodiment of Horus son of Isis - this is no coincidence and likely all fitting the plan of the Antichrist in end-time prophetic events.

ISIS, Hamas: Battle On For Jerusalem

Islamic State vows to reach 'Palestine' and 'kill the barbaric Jews'

The organization calling itself the Islamic State has risen from the fog of war in Syria and Iraq in recent months and drawn the attention of the world with major victories on both sides of the Euphrates River that have claimed swaths of territory for its declared caliphate, or Islamic State.  Now in the organization's new English language publication, Dabiq, aimed at young Muslims in western states, the extremist organization declared, "Islamic State will do everything within its means to continue striking down every apostate who stands as an obstacle on its path towards Palestine."  Denouncing the ineffectiveness of other Arab states and organizations in carrying out the "will of Allah," the magazine vows that, "Its [Islamic State's] actions speak louder than its words and it is only a matter of time and patience before it reaches Palestine to fight the barbaric Jews and kill those of them hiding behind the gharqad trees – the trees of the jews."...http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Islamic-State-vows-to-reach-Palestine-and-kill-the-barbaric-Jews-372796... All of the above and updates below, leave little doubt the Psalm 83 Confederacy (Islamic Caliphate) is surrounding Israel and has as its goal to destroy Israel and the Jews...Is their any chance they could succeed? ...Deuteronomy 19:8 tells us “When the Lord your God will enlarge your borders, as He has sworn to your forefathers, and will give you the entire land which He has promised to give to your ancestors.”..I believe this is what is prophesied as a result of the Psalm 83 and other very soon coming Regional Wars (Psalms 83, Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 & 19, Ezekiel 35, Zephaniah 2:4-15, Zechariah 12:1-9) where Israel as a result, will expand her borders to closely align with the Abrahamic Covenant borders God promised Israel - See New Israel Borders...After a period of time, living in peace and security, it then likely becomes the impetus for Ezekiel 38 & 39...We are at the door-step of the fulfillment of these very significant prophetic events! - Prophecy being fulfilled in real time before our eyes!!
