Hello John and Doves,
The Middle East is on a knife edge -
never seen such a dangerous time for Israel.
Second State
of October 7:
"Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said
Tuesday that Israel has identified that Iran,
Hezbollah and Hamas are aiming to take advantage of the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan and turn it into "the second
stage of October 7, and ignite the ground."
"Speaking during an assessment at
the IDF Central Command, Gallant said, "Hamas's main goal is
to take Ramadan, with an emphasis on the Temple Mount and
Jerusalem, and turn it into the second phase of their plan
that began on October 7. This is the main goal of
Hamas, it is being amplified by Iran and Hezbollah."
Gallant warned that Israel must not
allow the convergence of combat fronts - Gaza/Hamas and
Lebanon/Hezbollah.
The National Security Minister
Itamar Ben Gvir wants to "impose restrictions on the West
Bank Palestinians and prevent them from praying at the
Temple Mount during Ramadan and is even reportedly pushing
for banning Arab Israeli citizens below the age of 70 from
visiting the site amid the month of fasting.....Hundreds of
thousands of Muslims crowd the site each Ramadan as
religious fervor is heightened."
These restrictions during Ramadan
could "spark an angry backlash among Arab Israelis and play
into the hands of Hamas."
"...the biden administration is
highly concerned that Ben Gvir will try and spark tensions
at the Temple Mount during Ramadan next month, in
what Washington fears could drag the flashpoint issue of
Jerusalem into the ongoing Middle East conflict that it's
seeking to contain."
Gallant:
Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas hope to turn Ramadan into '2nd
stage of October 7' | The Times of Israel
Maybe the people in the White House should
read the Bible - it will tell them exactly what's going on
over there - God is in total control of everything that
happens to Jerusalem - He wrote His name there. It
is prophesied that Jerusalem will be a burdensome stone
and a cup of trembling. Nothing happens outside of
God's will.
Zechariah told us about Israel and
Jerusalem: "This is the burden of the word of the Lord
concerning Israel. Thus declares the Lord, who
stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the
earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all
the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both
of Judah and against Jerusalem." Zech 12:2
"Hamas leader has called on
Palestinians to march to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque at the
start of Ramadan next month in a move that could threaten
hostage negotiations and a cease-fire deal in Gaza....this
will likely set the stage of an Israel-Palestinian clash
in Jerusalem come March 10.."
I agree with Gvir. And seeing
Muslims on the Temple Mount celebrating and praying to their
pagan god is hard to stomach - but it's all going to go down
in God's timing. Jerusalem is His city. And I
know that there will be a New Jerusalem that comes down out
of Heaven - God's eternal city. Once we get through
all of this....
Ramadan 2024 - March 11 -
April 9?
"...the actual date of commencement
of Ramadan 2024 is subject to the sighting of the
moon....Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday,
March 11, 2024 (according to Saudi Arabia) and will end on
Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Eid al Fitr 2024 is expected
to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10, 2024."

2024 (1445) - When is Ramadan 2024 | IslamicFinder
April 9 is one day after the total
solar eclipse over America. If the new moon sighting
is on March 10 - the end of Ramadan will be on the day of
the eclipse. Just interesting to note...
What Gallant said, is very
ominous: "... that Israel
has identified that Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are aiming
to take advantage of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan
and turn it into "the second stage of October 7, and
ignite the ground." Will the month of
Ramadan include a 'go signal' for jihadis in the
U.S.? They are waiting for something...
Add this to
Gallant moving towards a military draft. And
Netanyahu 'vowed' that "the attack into Rafah and the end
of the war (in Gaza) will occur within weeks."
Netanyahu said that the IDF will "soon enter the
Palestinian city of Rafah...to eliminate some of the last
remaining Hamas units."
Netanyahu
says Rafah assault 'has to be done' to end the war
quickly
And an
invasion of Rafah is 'the last straw' for some concerning
Natanyahu. We'll see how this goes.
Some think this 'ending the war in Gaza' is so Israel can
start the war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Something
BIG is coming.
Things are moving quickly -
keep an eye on Jerusalem!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
