Comments
Israeli intelligence sources have uncovered credible information that Iran and a number of its Arab allies are planning an attack against Israel possibly following the expected US withdrawal from Iraq in 2006. 

Israeli officials have repeatedly sent intelligence information to Washington keeping them informed of Iran and their allies’ intentions. But U.S. military officials have for the most part dismissed their intelligence as paranoia. 

If Ezekiel 38 & 39 are correct (and we know it is) this could be the forewarning of that great battle which was predicted 2500 years ago.  

Actually, I look for Israel to be at peace with the Arab world before that great war takes place.  A Palestinian state will probably be established and the U.S. evacuation from Iraq will be over.  It’s possible that Israel will have struck oil or discovered something of significance by this time as well. 

Ezekiel 38:4 & 12 states that a Russian lead Arab league will attack Israel to take a spoil.  This spoil will be so enticing that the Bible describes the attacking army as having hooks in their jaws.  Meaning, whatever this spoil is it will be to good to pass up.  They will be hopelessly drawn to it.   

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not your time maybe running out!
