Israel Bombs Syrian Convoy(Chemical Weapons Headed to Hezbollah or Not?)

Source Jewish Voice International Ministries

The bitter and brutal civil war that has been raging in Syria for months has left tens of thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. The government of Israel has publicly expressed their concern over Syria’s ability to control the large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons they are known to possess. Certainly having these in the hands of Hezbollah or some other terrorist group would pose a grave danger to the Jewish People.

In the last forty-eight hours news reports have begun to surface that Israel has been taking military action inside Syria. Although almost no details are being publicly confirmed, it appears that the Israeli air force has been carrying out airstrikes deep inside Syrian territory. The most informed speculation indicates that Israel struck a military arms convoy that was either near the Syrian border with Lebanon, or that had perhaps just crossed over into Lebanon. No credible reports have detailed what was being transported in the convoy.

It is known that Israel has been working closely with Western intelligence services to try to track the location of all of Syria’s weapons of mass destruction. There have been a number of reports from Syria that the Assad government has used chemical weapons against rebel targets, but due to the ongoing civil war, no outside observers have been able to evaluate these claims.

Could 2012 Be Year Destruction of Damascus Syria? Bible Prophecy Fulfilled?

Syria Warns It May Use Chemical Weapons on ‘Foreign’ Forces

Syria has admitted it has chemical weapons and in what might have been a veiled threat against Israel, said it will use them if attacked.
The regime promised it would not engage in chemical warfare against rebels, who by all accounts except for that of the government are pushing President Bashar Assad out of power.
Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi “assured” the world that it has secured chemical weapons, which it previously has not admitted to be in its possession but never would be used "inside Syria."
"No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria, no matter what the developments inside Syria," he said on state television. "All of these types of weapons are in storage and under security and the direct supervision of the Syrian armed forces and will never be used unless Syria is exposed to external aggression."
Israel is concerned that the chemical weapons will fall into the hands of Hizbullah, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu declared Sunday his government will “have to act” if Assad’s regime collapses, leaving Hizbullah with the possibility of taking over his military arsenal. Assad already is suspected of having smuggled some of the chemical weapons into Lebanon for Hizbullah to stockpile.
Prime Minister Netanyahu told Fox News Sunday said that “there are other possibilities” than crossing the Syrian border in order to deal with Assad’s chemical weapons.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak was ore blunt and stated on Israeli television last Friday, “I’ve ordered the Israeli military to prepare for a situation where we would have to weigh the possibility of carrying out an attack” against Syria’s arsenal, which is believed to include mustard gas and nerve agents that can reach Israel via Scud missiles.
Syria never signed the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention.
Despite the Syrian Foreign Ministry’s vow not to use chemical weapons against the opposition, U.S. Senator John McCain does not trust the regime.
"These are helicopter gunships, tanks, artillery that are slaughtering people, and now there is a risk -- and I'm not saying it is going to happen -- a risk that in his desperation, Bashar al-Assad might use those chemical weapons," McCain said on CNN.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with President Barack Obama on Air Force One, "We believe that Syria's chemical weapons remain under Syrian government control. But given the escalation in violence, and the regime's increasing attacks on its own people, we remain very concerned about these weapons."

Isaiah 17:1

King James Version (KJV)

17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Could 2012 fulfill Bible Prophecy of the destruction of Damacus, Syria?

Could President Assad threat to use chemical weapons cause this destruction?

Could Israel launch an pre-emptive attack on Damacus, Syria to avoid a chemical weapon attack by Syria?

As Christians we need to study Bible Prophecy a little bit more!

 

Iran and Syria Dream of a New World Order

President Ahmadinejad and President Assad

Iran and Syria have a strong alliance. Both countries support Hezbollah.  Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran.  Syria provides the with political support (source). All three share a vision to totally wipe the nation of Israel off the face of the Earth.  Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah are Shia Muslims (Syria's ruling party are the Alwai Muslims which are self describe Shia Muslims.  All share in the belief of the soon coming 12th Imam Mahdi (source).  


Iranian's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Syria's President, Bashar Al-Assad have a great relationship with each other. In May of 2009 The Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri) stated:


"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Bashar Al -Assad in Damascus, Syria.  In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the two declared the relations between Iran and Syria were strategic and served as example to the region and to the world at large. 
They added that Iran and Syria were leading dramatic transformation in the region, as part of a new world order which would replace the old order that the U.S. has led since World War II (source)." 


Ahmadinejad believes that the appearance of the Madhi (Islamic Messiah) will be ushered in if he brings the destruction of Israel and the United States.  He is dedicated to his role to bring this to pass and to fulfill the Shia Prophecies.  Shiite teaching states that it is within man's power to facilitate the process of the end of days (source). 

Iran and Syria Vision of a New World Order

President Ahmadinejad's vision of his New World Order would be the destruction of Israel as a nation and to usher in the reign of the 12th Imam Mahdi. The Mahdi will establish Islam as a one world religion and a one world government.  The signs of the Mahdi will be:

1. He won't come in odd year (using Islamic calendar).
2. He will make his appearance in Mecca.
3. He will travel from Mecca to Kufa (in Iraq).
4. He will be a young man of medium stature with a handsome and shinig face and long beautiful hair that flows onto his shoulders.
5. He will be 40 years old at the time of his emergence.
6. He will remove all injustice and the entire world will experience overflowing prosperity.
7. Jesus will return with him and be his deputy.
8. The 313 who fought with the Prophet Muhammad at the battle of Badr will also return.
9. People will recognize him because there will be an angel above his head shouting, "This is the Mahdi, follow him."
10. The other imams and prophets of former ages will return.
11. He will wear a ring that belonged to King Solomon.
12. He will carry the wooden staff that Moses held when parting the Red Sea.
13. His army 313 grown into 50,000(50 will be women).
14. He will rule for seven years. (source) 

How would Jesus act as Mahdi deputy in this New World Order, you ask?  Islamic Jesus(Isa) will be the overseer of the institution and enforcement of Islamic shariah law.  He will descend and lead judgment according to the holy Quran.  He will be a great Islamic evangelist that will correct misrepresentations made by Jews and Christians.  He will point people to worship the Mahdi.  He will abolish Christianity and will remain on Earth for forty years, marry,  have children and then die.  He will then be buried next to the Prophet Muhammad (source).  


This is the New World Order that Ahmadinejad and Bashar envision for the world.  It will be a one-world Islamic government and a one-world Islamic religion ruled by the Mahdi.  And assisting the Mahdi will be Jesus. This is a similar scenario written about in Revelations 13 regarding the Antichrist and the False Prophet.  Interestingly enough, some End-Time Prophecy teachers are teaching this now and it could be a possible scenario.
