Dear readers,
The following report is a sincere attempt at trying to piece together a troubling intuition that has been stirring within my spirit for some weeks concerning the looming threat of war with Iran. I believe the alarms of warning are sounding all around us, may we have ears to hear them.
Please prayerfully consider the following - Iran or a host of other nations could easily strike Israel and the United States with weapons of mass destruction in less than one hour and most people are not prepared either physically, emotionally or spiritually. Perhaps now is the time to start our preparations…
In less than sixty minutes, the tiny nation of Iran could easily cripple two of the mightiest military powers in the world if they are allowed to engage in a first strike opportunity against both of those nations. This is not some far-fetched idea as U.S. and Israeli military planners are keenly aware of the implications of an Iranian attack which catches both nations off guard. The problem is not one of strategy or ability by either nation. The military units of both nations could easily defeat the Iranians in a nuclear or conventional war. However, Iran is not a conventional nation-state nor is the modern concept applicable to the confrontation which is coming.
Could this be Haifa in the next war?If Iran were to attack, it would be the ultimate one shot "use it or lose it" approach to all strategic, conventional, and non-conventional forces. The propaganda is being disseminated in earnest on both sides – with the United States and Israel openly discussing the possibility of attacking Iran as early as March, while at the same time Iranian news agencies with support from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are actively promoting the narrative to "kill all Jews and annihilate Israel." No, any conflict with Iran will be nothing like the first Gulf War, and as has been opined on this web site and many others in the alternative news sphere, may very well be the first engagement of a war that will envelop the entire globe, including Russia and China.
The following dramatized short film takes place one year from today and depicts the first few minutes of what World War III may look like. The setting, however, is not Iran, but rather, Israel's capital city of Jerusalem.Jews and believers alike need to have a plan of escape, and proven insight as to where to flee during an all-out conventional and non-conventional attack within her borders!!! Remember, Israel has over 200,000 missiles pointed at her every moment from her neighboring enemies. The Bible gives us the answers… First the Prophets speak: Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. (Zechariah 14:1)
Come, my people,enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain. (Isaiah 26:20-21) Yeshua also warned of a future flight of the Jews in Israel with specific instructions... "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. ( Lk 21:20-23 )
"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ( Matthew 24:15) Those whom God has called to salvation in Yeshua and any of the Jews who understand the ancient prophecies concerning these two warnings should make sure that their attitudes and behaviors are correct before God and they should be well prepared to leave Jerusalem and Israel on a moment's notice when the prophetic armies surround Jerusalem and the abomination that makes desolate sits where it should not sit. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent (Revelation 14:14-17)
Masada: One place of flight in 70 AD
Perhaps Jews will also flee to farther destination like the Swiss Alps Learning from the past to prepare... A look at the failure of the 1973 Yom Kippur war On 6 October 1973, Israel was caught by surprise when Egypt and Syria simultaneously attacked on two fronts. Prime Minister Golda Meir had made the decision to call up the reserves six hours earlier, but that was an insufficient amount of time to mobilize a defense designed to receive at least 48 hours warning. Most students of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War agree that there was an intelligence failure, and this is essentially the finding of Israel's Agranat Commission… ( Read more) And what about America??? Report: THREE MILLION "PREPPERS" feel the urgency to prepare for the coming disaster... As many as three million Americans now fall into the category dubbed 'Preppers' – people who are making detailed plans for the end of the world as we know it.
The preppers are an ever-growing group of survivalists who take extreme measures to prepare for a major catastrophic event.
More than 300,000 people a month visit the movement's website, survivalblog.com, which catalogues how people are preparing for the worst. The website has been set up by James Rawles, a former US Army intelligence officer, who is one of the movement's leading figures.
Speaking to The Times, he said: 'Should the worst happen, it's become apparent that the Government can't provide for everybody. And now that realization is becoming more widespread.' "By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail." - Benjamin Fanklin Most seasoned preppers will agree that those first few weeks and months of preparedness are the most stressful, with emotions being described by newbies as anxiety and panic. For those just getting started, you should feel better knowing that it's better late than never.
This week the National Geographic series Doomsday Preppers debuted to an audience of four million, a testament to the fact that preparing for disasters – regardless of the kind – is a growing trend, and one that's popular even among those that have been affectionately dubbed the sheeple. No doubt some of those watching the show, who never considered the possibility of far-from equilibrium events, will take to preparing right away.
What you may be experiencing today isn't panic. It's a sense of urgency, and that's a positive motivator that can, with focus, drive you to quickly and effectively achieve your goals.
Panic is what we'll see from those remaining 99% of Americans who have failed to take measures to protect themselves from the coming devastation.
The aware and prepared … those understanding just how out of control society would become, and those who had acquired the skills for survival would stand the best chance of navigating the chaos safely.
But Americans were not prepared. Not by a long shot (Mac Slavo)"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" The Israelites were commanded by God to prepare a double portion of manna on the sixth day, as the seventh day was holy. In Father's blessed provision, the second day's manna never spoiled, God kept it miraculously preserved.
As the time draws closer each of us must determine if we are to put up a second portion of manna or if God's plan for our family is to prepare nothing. There are two paths of thought on the issue of preparing. The first is that God will provide for all our needs miraculously and therefore we are to do nothing as an act of faith. If this is your conviction then by all means follow the Holy Spirit's voice and do not prepare.
I firmly believe God will instruct some in this path, as these believers will be on the move, unable to carry supplies. I believe some of the household of faith will be instructed by the Holy Spirit to prepare extra provisions. I believe this to be scriptural. Clearly the early church has many times depended on the charity of fellow believers to provide for their basic physical needs. Joseph prepared food for seven years of famine and Noah prepared for 100 years and I'm certain many considered both quit nuts for doing it. From, "Prepare Before All Hell Breaks Loose!" by MK Mason http://www.amazon.com/When-All-Hell-Breaks-Loose/dp/142360105X Here is a check list of ways to prepare for survival as shared by lazarus... 1.

If not, there are many dirt roads into Canada or perhaps we can stay in America and go deep into the bush, and stay put…
16. Last but not least.... Your Bible!!! A good site for purchasing survival gear : http://www.armoredsheep.com/4.html
Let's end this warning on a positive note for all of us who are trusting in Yeshua…
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Rv 21:2-4) Shalom!
Bradley Antolovich Prayer Requests For Israel
- Recently, Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Khameini gave theological and legal reasons as to why Israel needed to be destroyed within the next few years. He called Israel a 'bacteria' in the Middle East. That remains us of Nazi propaganda portraying Jews as sub-human. This is a very serious situation.
- Lord of hosts, You hear the threats against Your nation and people. Arise God, and bring down this wicked Iranian regime (Psa. 68:1; 83:1-4,15-18)!
- Send massive confusion and division into this anti-God regime (Psa. 55:9; 129:5)
- Thank You for the current discord between Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Parliament. Increase it and use it for Your purposes.
- Hook their jaw. Bridle them and drag them into the trap of Your making (Psa. 7:15-16).
- Use the current international pressure on Iran to push them into making a huge mistake - like closing the straits of Hormuz.
- Incline Your ear LORD, and hear. Open Your eyes LORD, and see…all the words of [Khameini and President Ahhmadinejad who]…reproach the living God…Now thereforfore, LORD our God, save us from [their] hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are LORD [YHWH], even You alone. Isa. 37:17-20
- Rain is falling over many areas of Israel today. January was a record breaking month for rainfall, for which we are most grateful. Yet this land still needs much more water.
- We bless You for all of the rain and snow You have given to Israel this season.
- Lord, You know how much more we need. Please provide all of Israel's needs.
- Give Israel a very wet end of winter and early spring.
- Thank You for enabling Israeli scientists to develop desalinization plants to supplement the water we receive directly from heaven.
- Continue to help Israelis conserve water.
- Lord, this nation is weary from all the tensions that we live under each day - both internally and externally. Therefore, please watch over this word at this time: You, God, sent plenty of rain, whereby You did confirm Your inheritance, when it was weary. Psa. 68:9
- Israel's northern border bears guarding over in prayer. Syria is imploding and Hizbullah in Lebanon is threatening to attack Israel if Syria is attacked by any other nation. There is also the distinct possibility of Syria's President Assad attacking Israel to divert pressure from himself, from both the Arab world and other nations. Russia and Iran are also supporting Assad - even as he kills literally thousands of his own people. Israel's army - the IDF - needs to be alert and prepared.
- The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. Prov. 21:31 Amen. Enable Israel's 'horse' to be prepared!
- Lord, we lift up the IDF Chief of Staff, Benny Gantz and the Northern Commander to You. Empower them with courage, strength, wisdom and sound thinking at this time.
- Abba, as You have promised, defend this nation (Psa. 121:4; Isa. 41:10-16; Jer. 31:10).
- Give to all who need to make military decisions in this nation wise counsel. Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. Prov. 20:18; 24:4
- Totally confuse Syria and Hizbullah into making stupid mistakes (Psa. 129:5).
- We pray for the IDF's preparation in the likely event it will be called on to attack Iran, to deal with this threat to Israel.
- Thank You Lord for raising up the IDF - a literally fulfillment of Your prophetic Word (Deut. 33:27; Isa. 41:14-16; Jer. 51:19-24; Ezek. 37:9-10; Mic. 4:11-13, etc)!
- Give courage and wisdom to all of Israel's leaders to know what Israel needs to do and to know the timing (1 Chr. 12:32:14:14-15).
- Bring unity to all who need to make these crucial decisions.
- Lord of hosts, go with Israel's armies and send the 'hailstones' from heaven (Josh. 10:11)!
- Protect all of Israel's mechanical systems from failure and at the same time, mess up the weapons systems of the enemy.
- Enable Israel's reservists - the bulk of her army - to be in the right place at the right time.
- Remind Israel of how You have helped her in both biblical and modern times - and let multitudes put their trust in You. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psa. 20:7
- Make it very obvious that You are fighting for Israel (Ex. 14:25; Psa. 44:1-8).
- We prayed for Israel's home-front, that it would be prepared as well. It will likely be hit by both missiles and terror attacks.
- Lord, inspire Your people to be ready and not to look to the government for every need.
- We stand against a spirit of fear and panic from coming on this nation during war.
- Yet use the coming crisis to cause the people of Israel to cry out to You. Call upon Me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. Psa. 50:15
- God, send angelic and other types of protection (Psa. 91:1-16).
- Give unity of heart and mind between the leaders and the people (Psa. 133:1).
- Cause Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and other leaders, to seek You.
- Anoint Bibi and Israel's representatives in the nations to express Israel's positions clearly.
- Hedge in the media from spreading panic or division.
- We also prayed for the Body of Messiah - both in Israel and in the nations - to be ready.
- Lord Yeshua, may the response of Your Body to Israel's defense against her sworn enemies be a Holy Spirit response and not some humanistic garbage!
- Use the situation to reveal the wolves who have crept into the flock (Acts 20:28-30).
- Give to all of us discernment concerning prophetic words that will most surely come.
- Open the eyes of more members of Your Body to the literal fulfillment of Your Word that this end time restoration of Israel represents (Jer. 30-33; Ezek. 35-39; Zech. 12-14, etc.).
- Enable many to intercede in line with Your will, regardless of what the headlines scream.
- Have much mercy on our Iranian brothers and sisters. Lead them to be in the right place and the right time and know how to pray for both their nation and for Israel.
- Use the believers in the IDF. May the supernatural gifts of Your Spirit be very evident in their lives - and use them to speak words of truth to their fellow soldiers (Rom. 11:14).
- Knowing what happened after the 1967 Six Day War and what was happening during the 1st Gulf War - when tens of thousands of Jews came home - we prayed that this next year would see a huge increase in aliyah - Jewish immigration to Israel.
- Hear the word of the LORD, O gentiles, declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and guard him, as a shepherd does his flock. Jer. 31:10
- Abba, you have scattered us. Please continue to gather us in huge numbers this year.
- If anti-Semitism is one of the results of an Israeli attack on Iran, use that to chase Your people home - especially those who are too comfortable in the West (Jer. 16:16).
- Wake up the better than 5 million Jews in America that they need to be in Israel - soon.
- Open wide the gates of Israel so that regardless of what Jews believe, they can enter.
- Bring home the 25,000 Jews living in Iran and whatever small remnants are left in all the other Middle East Arab nations.
- In line with Isaiah 49:22, raise up more in the Church to help carry Your people home.
- We finished by praying for God to intervene in two other areas:
- There is a nationwide Histadrut [labor union] strike in Israel that has shut down the post office, banks, garbage collection and even the airport [for a short period of time.] It is not right for a labor union to have that kind of power. We asked for the strike to end, for a fair settlement to be arrived at, and for this kind of power to be removed from the Histadrut.
- In March, Bethlehem Bible College will hold a conference called Christ at the Checkpoint. This is an anti-Zionist, pro-Palestinian, pro-replacement theory meeting that impacts way too many believers. We prayed for protection and revelation of the true aim of this anti-biblical gathering. We declared that Yeshua is Lord over both this conference and over His birthplace - Bethlehem!
You should know what is Christian Palestinianism… |
