The next prophecy of today is Zephaniah 2. It is another prophecy of the destruction of the Palestinians, and it specifically mentions the pullout of Gaza that has become the cornerstone of America's plan for peace in the Middle-East region of Israel.
Zephaniah 2:1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O *undesirable nation,
This one is tough in Hebrew, the word undesirable is the word nethsath which means both with out shame and without feelings.
But undesirable Nation is truly a proper translation when it comes to "Palestinians. Who can imagine a more nefarious group of people than the Arab League immigrants to Israel who claim to be the long lost tribe of Falistea!
Zeph 2:2 Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the LORD's fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the LORD's anger comes upon you!
This decree, is it the decree of their destruction by the lord, or is it the decree of the abandonment of Gaza? For here again is the warning, just like in Isaiah 14 to the Palestinian Christians:
Zeph 2:3 Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the LORD's anger.
Who are the meek of the earth besides the Christians on the Palestinian side of the fence? Who has upheld Gods justice besides the Christians? For the Mulsims have another word for law, which is anything but just, it is called Islam.
The Palestinian Christians I have met have one thing I find hard to take, they often harbor ill feelings towards the Jews in Israel. They have been raised on replacement theology and like their Muslim Brethren claim the heritage of the Jews as theirs alone. They, like all replacement theology churchs are arrogant towards the Jews and Gods plans for them and like all replacement theology Churches ignore outright Roman's 11 demand for humility before God in our attitutudes towards the Jewish people.
But God promises, that IF they seek rightiousness and humility, they MAY find shelter in the day of his Wrath on the Arabs.
Next we have the lock to this prophecy that clearly marks it as NOW, if you can find the Key to it in your lifetime.
Zeph 2: 4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, And Ashkelon desolate; They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, And Ekron shall be uprooted.
The word forsaken is azuvah, or left as in a passive action.
Is not Gaza being abandoned and forsaken passively right now, this week?
Tick goes the timer on the prophetic clock.
But the words for Ashkelon, the main oil pipeline city and power plant of Israel that is JUST NORTH of the border of the Gaza Strip is lashmama which means desolate, deserted and wasteland. This is not a passive withdrawal, but the destruction by war of these cities.
Clearly the Generals warnings to Sharon and Bush that abandoning Gaza will rain fiery destruction on the cities within reach of the Palestinian mortar crews is right here! Ashkelon with go up in flames quite handly when mortars begin to rain on the oil storage tanks and refinerys. What could survive the destruction? Ashdod and Ekron are citys right there in range too, just north of the northern border of the Gaza strip and right next to Ashkelon.
Zeph 2:5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites!
This is the very spot called the Gaza Strip today. Not nearby, but right there.
The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: "I will destroy you; So there shall be no inhabitant."
Like Isaiah 14 says, there is an appointment for everyone in that cloud of smoke heading their way. It is an appointment for destruction, complete destruction. We bring not peace on the Arabs of Israel, but complete and utter destruction. And we, by interfering with Gods commands for the use of the land that He claims for himself, bring his Wrath on our Nation.
The prophetic timers have begun to tick my friends, and America is the single Nation most behind triggering these two harbingers of destruction. It is time to seek repentance on our knees, but we will not. Because we trust in chariots and men, no longer in the Almighty God.
It is due to be finished on August 30.
New book reveals military code names
Critics charge it could compromise national security
Excerpts:
In a direct challenge to the U.S. government, military analyst Bill Arkin has published 3,000 U.S. code names — many of them "Top Secret" — along with brief descriptions of the Pentagon or CIA programs they represent.
Among the code names Arkin reveals:
• West Wing: Two remote air bases in Jordan used for invading Iraq and now for clandestine military counter-terror operations in the Middle East.
• Oplan 4305: Contingency plan for the defense of Israel. Arkin also says the U.S. has quietly pre-positioned munitions and equipment on Israeli soil.
• Conplan 8022: Top-secret pre-emptive plans to take out nuclear facilities and other threats in Iran, Syria and North Korea.

Oplan 4305: 43rd Prez and the year 05, these are the weapons that will burn for seven years as per Ezekiel 39. Why else would Gog get a burial place in Israel?
CERTAINLY,

Great research, friend. I thought the Edom reference might be to Petra. One idea floating around is that the Jews who flee Jerusalem will be taken to Petra by God to protect them. Just a thought.
