Hello John and Doves,
Well, it's the season of
Passover, Easter (Resurrection Sunday) and Ramadan - as
noted below, this is one of only three times in a century
all three occur at the same time!! What
could possibly go wrong??
Before dawn on
Wednesday, the Israeli police raided the al-Aqsa mosque on
the Temple Mount and clashed with 'worshipers'..-
then raided it a second time that day. The first
raid was because "hundreds of rioters and mosque
desecrators had barricaded themselves inside. When
the police entered, stones were thrown at them and
fireworks were fired from inside the mosque by a large
group of agitators." So these people had carrier
'weapons' inside the mosque! Militants responded by
firing rockets into Israel from Gaza. More at the
article: Israeli
police storm al-Aqsa mosque for the second time on
Wednesday
Militants in Lebanon fired some of
their own rockets into Israel. "..the Israel Defence
Forces described as the biggest rocket salvo since the 2006
war into northern Israel. Most of the 34 projectiles
were intercepted..."
"Hezbollah and its allies have
faced extensive attacks by Israeli jets in Syrian territory
over the last week, striking at what Israel believes to be
sites to manufacture drones.
These raids drew condemnation from
"across the Arab and Mulsim world. Jordan, Turkey,
Egypt etc all condemned the storming of the mosque by
police.
Today, Saturday, 4/7, I received a
SMS Alert Text from alertusa.com:
(quote)
US Embassy Israel issues alert
warning of mortar and rocket fire due to heightened
tensions. Caution and vigilance urged.
Background:
The IDF has carried out air
strikes on targets belonging to the Palestinian militant
group Hamas in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
The attacks were in response to a barrage of 34 rockets
fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Thursday, which
it blamed on Hamas.
Militants in Gaza fired dozens
more rockets after the strikes began.
Tensions are higih following two
nights of Israeli police raids at the al-Aqsa mosque in
Jerusalem earlier this week.
This year is one of only
three times in a century when Easter occurs at the same
time as Passover and Ramadan.

Brother John said we might
actually see Isaiah 17:1 - Damascus turned into a ruinous
heap. Or this may occur in the Tribulation. He
goes on and talks about Isaiah 17:14 "And behold at
eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not.
This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of
them that rob us." At sundown, some time...there will
be trouble - Brother John says we are there or very near as
this escalates very quickly.
Another translation of this
verse: In the evening, there is sudden terror!
Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion
of those who plunder us, a fitting end for those who destroy
us.
(My thought: this could be
Israel's response to the Gog and Magog War - because Gog and
his armies come to plunder Israel. Hitting Damascus
and turning it into a ruinous heap would be revenge for
plundering Israel.)
"President Erdogan highlighted the
importance of the unity of the Islamic world against
Israel's increasing inhumane attacks in Palestine,
especially on the Al-Aqsa Mosque."
The Iranian Foreign Minister said,
"The Zionists are bewildered by the wave of convergence in
the Islamic world as well as the outlook of the internal
collapse of the regime."
"Turkey is undeniably
responsible - at least in part - for the infrastructure
that Hamas is wielding in Lebanon,"
Foundation for Defense of Democracy senior vice president
Jonathan Schanzer told the Washington Examiners.
"Turkey's patronage of Hamas continues."
Are we close to the Gog and Magog
war breaking out? Or an overall WW3?
Surely we are close to the
Rapture!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
