This was a much bigger story a year ago, you know, as September 13th was approaching and it looked like war would break out then?

Ah yes. Remember this?

Actually, I see this as a limited ME War to start with, beginning after sundown on the 28th of October, and going until November 8th for Isra-el, but at sometime in these coming days, more probably weeks, we will witness nuclear strikes in several U.S. (& Canadian too) cities too.

Russia is generally referred to as "Gog/Magog," but given the reference in Revelation as well, I tend to see a broader application. ALL those to whom a Christian would refer to as "Pagan Nations," e.g. all of Islam, Russia, China etc., fall into the "Gog Magog" category for me.

FWIW, I also believe that WW111, began on September 28th/2000. (Gregorian Calendar).

I don't expect to see Antichrist until about 3 1/2 years from now. It won't be pleasant until then, but after that it will be awful for 3 1/2 years. Then it'll be great! That's my take on things, watered down a whole lot, but these are the highlights.

I'd love to be wrong about this year, but don't think I am. I suspect we will always wish we had 'one more year' of Grace to get ready in every way that counts. JMHO, - Jesse

Also by the same author:

Just exactly what this means for America I don't know. I have my own thoughts, but I am not a prophet, and so they are just speculation. The following is NOT!...

The Israeli Government IS NOW IN POSSESSION OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT! It was prophesied that on September 28th, violence would begin in Isra-el. It did.

It was prophesied that the UN would come out in full condemnation of Israel. They did.

It is prophesied that on October 29th, Gog/Magog (Russia) will begin a, "...full scale attack of Isra-el." On Tishri 1, Revised Jewish Calendar. 2/3rds of Isra-el will die in this attack.

It is prophesied that on Tishri 10, The ARK OF THE COVENANT will be raised up from it's location in Solomon's Temple, (located in the maze of tunnels underneath Mount Moriah), and YAHWEH will then fight for Isra-el, to preserve the remnant that He said He would.

More details can be listened to on the October 19th Broadcast of an interview with Rabbi Michael John Rood.

There's probably more spectacular rubbish but for some reason, I don't remember why, I just happened to file the above.

BBC Tuesday, 28 August, 2001, 12:07 GMT 13:07 UK Thousands attend Mustafa funeral Some PFLP supporters wore masks for the funeral

The funeral of the highest ranking Palestinian to be killed by Israel in more than a decade has taken place in the West Bank town of Ramallah.

Thousands of Palestinians waving flags and chanting anti-Israel slogans turned out for the funeral of Abu Ali Mustafa, the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - a faction of the PLO.

PFLP members paraded in red masks, many firing weapons into the air and chanting calls for revenge.

Israel meanwhile announced that forces occupying the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, near Jerusalem, would stay indefinitely, and imposed a curfew.

The decision to keep tanks and troops in Beit Jala appears to mark a change of tactics for Israel, which has not previously occupied Palestinian-controlled areas for more than a few hours.

Israeli tanks entered Beit Jala and the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza late on Monday, as the Arab world protested against the killing of Mustafa.

The BBC's James Reynolds in Jerusalem said there was a sense of shock among Palestinians that such a senior political figure had been targeted.

Italian Foreign Minister Renato Ruggiero is due in the region on Tuesday for talks with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He will meet Israeli leaders on Wednesday.

Policeman killed

A Palestinian policeman, Mohammed Sammour, 25, was killed in fighting during the Israeli incursion into Beit Jala, and about 10 other people were wounded, one seriously.

The move into Beit Jala came after Palestinians there fired at the neighbouring settlement of Gilo, which Israel considers a neighbourhood of Jerusalem.

In the wake of the killing of Mustafa, Gilo came under the heaviest fire since the Palestinian uprising began 11 months ago.

"Beit Jala has become a sniper's nest. Our forces have entered in order to clean it up," Israeli Government spokesman Avi Pazner said.

He said Israeli troops would stay "as long as it is needed" to restore Israeli security.

Israel Radio reported that troops took up positions in at least five houses in the town.

In Rafah, the army sent in bulldozers and armoured vehicles, in addition to tanks.

Before pulling out again, it demolished at least 10 buildings it said were being used by Palestinian snipers and arms smugglers.

Condemnation

The assassination of Mustafa was condemned by Iran, Jordan and the Secretary General of the Arab League, while Mr Arafat declared three days of mourning.

Many senior Palestinian figures turned out to pay their respects at his funeral.

The United States also condemned the killing in what observers called unusually strong terms.

"If the situation on the ground is to improve, then Israel must also take the economic and security steps that are necessary to alleviate the pressure, the hardship and the humiliations of the Palestinian population," said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.

Several Palestinian groups threatened revenge, and within hours, a Jewish settler was shot dead in a roadside ambush in the northern West Bank in what the PFLP said was a reprisal.

Missile attack

Mustafa was killed when a helicopter gunship fired rockets into his office in Ramallah.

Israel said he was a legitimate target because he had been planning car bomb attacks.

Israel has a policy of killing Palestinians it believes have carried out attacks on Israel, which is calls "active defence" or "targeted killings".

Palestinians say more than 60 people have been killed in such attacks.
