Ezekiel 38"1-23 (NASE)

1 And the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog ^R1369 of the land of Magog, ^R1370 the prince ^F531 of Rosh, ^R1371 Meshech ^R1372 and Tubal, ^R1373 and prophesy against him 3 and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, ^F532 "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince ^F533 of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. 4 "I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring ^R1374 you out, and all your army, horses ^R1375 and horsemen, all of them splendidly ^F534 attired, a great company {with} buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords; 5 Persia, ^R1376 Ethiopia ^{F535 R1377} and Put ^R1378 with them, all of them {with} shield and helmet; 6 Gomer ^R1379 with all its troops; Beth-togarmah ^R1380 {from} the remote parts of the north with all its troops--many peoples with you. 7 " ^R1381 Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8 " ^R1382 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, {whose inhabitants} have been gathered ^R1383 from many nations ^F536 to the mountains ^R1384 of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its ^F537 people were brought out from the nations, ^F536 and they are living ^R1385 securely, all of them. 9 "You will go up, you will come like ^R1386 a storm; you will be like a cloud ^R1387 covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you."

To save page space I did not list the entire text in Ezekiel. I would recommend, however, that you take the time to read the entire text, including chapter 39 as well.

We are supposedly fighting a war in the Middle East. It is called the war on terrorism, or so I thought. I want to make one thing extremely clear before I continue. This article in no way should be construed as to undermine the sacrifice our brave men and women in uniform are making on our behalf. Don't forget my son spent six years in the United States Marine Corp and I support our people in uniform with everything in me.

With that being said, I must say that, in my opinion, I do not believe we are truly fighting the war on terrorism. At the conclusion of this article I will tie it all together with an end-time perspective.

I am grateful that we assisted Iraq and its people from the terror and madman of Saddam Hussein. It was necessary to help the people of Iraq. There is, however, a war that needs to be fought and I'm sad to say we are not fighting it. There are three countries that are at the root of 90% of all terror in the world. I have labeled them the Triangle of Terror.  Below I have identified them:

1.       To the left is a map that details the area we are discussing. I scanned this from the Levitt letter. It's a good representation of the states surrounding Israel. Please note, just how little land mass Israel has.

Saudi Arabia - Financially funds terror organizations world wide and in the U.S. and uses oil as a mechanism to punish those nations that come against the royal family and kingdom. In business we call a partner like this the silent partner - the one who provides the resources but doesn't actually do the work. Look at these links for proof of Saudi Arabia's involvement and culpability:

2.       Iran - Trains, educates and provides weapons to its agents to work through back channels to undermine governments with the motive to overturn them and turn them into the most strict and controlling Muslim governments. These governments provide for all Muslims and withhold basic human rights from non-Muslims. They are extremely anti-Semitic and discriminatory.  Iran also wants a nuclear bomb to even the playing field and they are very close. If they get it, they will use it when they feel the time is right.

3.       Syria - Provides all the back channels for the countries above to operate through. The latest bombings in Iraq and Jordon have found their way through Syria. Syria opens her borders and than says, "Oh we didn't know that happened." In the business world we call this "Plausible Deniability".

As you can see, all three countries are involved in the business of terror. Here's the question I asked myself a year ago, "Why haven't we stopped these countries from being involved in terror with the same enthusiasm as we did Iraq?" I must confess I don't have a great answer to that question, except to say, God may not want us to. I'm not trying to oversimplify the problem at all, but, it could be that God has a plan and these countries will play a major role in it.  Hence, for now anyway, they are safe to plot and scheme. I would like to insert here that it is highly likely we are not going after the Saudi's because of the relationship Sr. Bush has with them. After all, they did invest over a million dollars in Bush Sr.'s Presidential Library and he is tied to them through his oil interests. But, maybe I'm just being too cynical...

In my opinion, if we were really fighting a war on terror we would stop the triangle of terror today. We must get our minds, as a nation, around the fact, that if we want to stop terror in the Muslim world we have to be brutal.  We cannot appease them or placate them. We must use brute force to get their attention and respect. If we would have gone after the triangle of terror with the same ferocity as we did Iraq, Suddam Hussein would have surrendered without one bullet being fired. That's how it works there in the Middle East. Hit them hard and they surrender. Their religion teaches them that if the enemy overwhelms you, you should surrender and then, when the time is right, when their backs are turned, slit their throats. They are actually taught this mindset in the Koran. Why do you think Israel plays it as tough as they do? Because they know first hand what it takes to survive in that neighborhood!

Here's the prophetic spin on all of this. The Bible teaches us in the Old Testament that if you do not exact punishment on your enemy when it is deserved and when God says to, then God will allow your enemies judgment to fall on your head. The Lord has given the U.S. the power and might to exact HIS judgment on those who deserve it, those who chose to murder innocent people and those who bring terror on countless people all over the world. If we do not go after all of those responsible, i.e., the Triangle of Terror states, then their judgment will become all of ours. I believe that the Lord is setting up the Islamic confederation right now that will very soon march against Israel with Russia and China at the helm. I also believe He is allowing them to infiltrate the U.S., France, Britain, Spain, Germany, in short the major nations of the world, and we are liable to see a wave of terror as we have never imagined. Mark my words:  If Iran gets a bomb and Al Qaeda gets a bomb (it is believed they already have one), it will be a matter of time and we will see a strike here on our soil.

The sad truth is that we will probably never see the end of terror until the King of Kings and Lord of Lords descends from Heaven with a loud thunder and removes once and for all - all hate and terror from this planet!

I hope you have your spiritual bags packed because we are all on borrowed time!

GOD BLESS ALL and KEEP LOOKING UP,
