Most likely this Marine force has been forward deployed at NAS Sigonella prior to an entry into Libya.<br /><br />Libya has become a lawless ground zero for thousands of Islamic jihadists as a direct result of the NATO operation which made possible the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi's regime.<br /><br />Eschatologically speaking, per Bible prophecy that is, <b>the Libyans (<i>Luwbiy</i>) are very clearly and concisely identified as being under the full military control of the coming "Roman" antichrist in Daniel 11:43, as are Egyptians (Mitsrayim) and the Cushites (<i>Kuwshiy</i> of the Horn of Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia).</b><br /><br />This is yet another example of how real-world events being reported in the open source news reports of today can be viewed as the precursory stage-setters of the undeniable prophetic fulfillments in the near future.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-39713076516148957482014-05-14T18:54:26.266-04:002014-05-14T18:54:26.266-04:00hartdawg,

I have never heard any Bible teacher satisfactorily explain why this is so.<br />So, I asked the Lord to explain it if it be His will.<br /><br />Daniel 7 and 8 are reinforced by Daniel 9 through 12, and they must be studied as a whole, continuous stream of prophetic teaching, especially about the emergence of the antichrist and the kingdom he will control. It's all there, but must be properly arranged by the student of Bible prophecy.<br /><br />Take this knowledge and use it to understand Revelation 13.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-44928906203063955192014-05-14T07:16:53.544-04:002014-05-14T07:16:53.544-04:00In the meantime, there will be parliamentary elect...In the meantime, there will be parliamentary elections in the EU (Euro parliament to be renewed for the 5 years to come) at the end of May in which far right and other forces hostile to the EU will progress a lot. Expect something huge, currently they are nearly non existent in the assembly that was elected in 2009.<br /><br />So I think both the outside (Putin) and inside (euroskeptics) threats to EU's current leadership will force a change. To face these threats, EU will need a strong and charismstic personality at the helm.<br /><br />So both EU and Nato may well see dramatic change of leadership in the coming months.<br /><br />Antichrist on the rise?NGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260169708368626269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-66345888298507345652014-05-14T04:35:36.149-04:002014-05-14T04:35:36.149-04:00I do understand you hartdawg...
I understand you...I do understand you hartdawg... <br /><br />I understand you're saying that you think the duration of the prophetic event detailed in Ezekiel 38/39 is long-term;<br /><br />that the invasion coming against Israel will not be a blitzkrieg-like event that will commence and conclude almost as quickly as it is begun;<br /><br />that there will be plenty of time after-the-fact for the Western elite to engage in in a slow, methodically deliberate search for a strong, willful, charismatic leader for the alliance; <br /><br />that the wealthy, politically and militarily powerful Western elite are ignoring the clear and present danger which this 'Gog of Magog' (a/k/a V.V. Putin of "Holy Mother Russia") is now manifestly presenting both himself and Russia to them;<br /><br />that a man who is strong, willful and charismatic does not comport with how so very many traditional Bible commentators have preemptively taught as being a weak, ineffectual, and outright cowardly response from the Arabian-Western allies to the sudden appearance of Gog's armies coming against Israel.<br /><br />Believe me, this interpretative view is entirely understandable if one is focused solely on the lone and somewhat less than completely descriptive verse of Ezekiel 38:13. <br /><br />However, what would happen to that particular mindset and the view it engenders of being completely divorced from what the angel Gabriel has prophesied about the antichrist in a fully descriptive explanation of the vision Daniel had in the third year of Belshazzar as he stood by the river Ulai in Elam (i.e. the Karkheh River in Khuzestan province, in the present-day Islamic Republic of Iran). <br /><br />Perhaps it is about time for a fresh, Berean, big-picture look at <b>ALL</b> of the vividly descriptive details that are available within the text Daniel 8.<br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-35570102606903791402014-05-13T21:38:24.974-04:002014-05-13T21:38:24.974-04:00I don't know, sean.

I will concede that they still may look, and even find a strong leader who will stare Putin down.....except when it comes to Israel. I guess the question right now is do the western powers offer a weak and toothless protest out of weakness or simply out of lack of any concern for Israel.hartdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554733830775640375noreply@blogger.com
