UPDATE 8 January 2015: I feel compelled to say again what I have stated many times in the past. The word Islam is an Arabic word and its meaning is submission. Period. That meaning is in the sense of total surrender to the alleged god of the submitters, and whom they refer to as Al-Lah (the God), their so-called prophet, plus the Qur'an and Ahadith (sayings attributed to him). In the Islamic perspective there are only two places in which human beings live on this earth. Dar al-Islam, the Land of Islam, and Dar al-Harb, the Land of War. Now you know why what happened in New York City on February 26, 1998; September 11, 2011, as well as in Washington DC and Shanksville PA on that same day; in Madrid, Spain on 11 March 2004; in London, UK on 7 July, 2005, and in Paris, France and several thousand other locales all over the world. These are not "terrorist acts" per se; they are instead acts of war, military assaults in the capital cities of non-Muslim countries which will continue to occur simply because Islam has been at war with everything non-Islamic since its inception 1,400 years ago. These acts of war will stop only when Islam ceases to exist.
One more thing to know. According to Islamic Law (Sharia Jurisprudence) no enemy can be attacked unless that enemy is warned ahead of time that the attack will occur. The warning of an attack is known as a fatwa. There is no such thing as a sneak attack in the Islamic or Qur'anic Concept of War. So why is it the governments of Western countries refuse to acknowledge these long established facts irregardless of how many acts of war are committed against them by Islam?
Exactly how many enemy Islamic soldiers, jihadists, are living right now in our cities, towns and rural communities? Do you know? Do you care?
6 January 2015: I have two point five (2.5) new and very interesting intel updates to write about in this update.
First off, it is now pretty much public and common knowledge that Israel's national intelligence apparatus has long had and still probably has the Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon by the proverbial "family jewels." So thorough is the Israeli penetration and compromise of Hezbollah that one of the terrorist group's highest ranking officials, a man who was responsible for executing Iranian-Hezbollah revenge attacks against Israel over the untimely death-by-carbomb of their terrorist-in-chief Imad Fayez Mughniyeh, was himself an Israeli double agent. How awesome is that?! Unfortunately he was discovered. However, a good look into the unmasking of Israel's spy was openly reported in Lebanon's prime newspaper, The Daily Star, on 19 December 2014. In the report it is learned that Israel's spy, Mohammed Shawraba, was the chief of Hezbollah's, and thus Iran's IRGC Qods Force proxy, the External Operations Unit. Click on the link while its still working and you'll get a good look into Iranian terrorism on foreign soil and new intel that reveals Hezbollah to be a bloated proxy terrorist army filled to the gills with opportunists, careerists and big-time apostates from the purist Shi'a Twelver jihadi mantra the Iranians would like us to believe they have at their beck and call. Make no mistake, the coming prophetic war against Hezbollah will be violent and very bloody, but the outcome is prophetically assured precisely as it is written in Joshua 13.
And while we're on the subject of Iran, here's a tidbit from The Algemeiner.com which illustrates just how completely out of touch secular Judaism is with Israel's ancient prophets since this news article (Iran's Plan to Wreak Havoc on Israel With Missiles) is directly related to Jeremiah 49:34-39. Of course Jeremiah's soon to be fulfilled prophecy is completely ignored by the article as one would expect of secular media, Jewish or not.

Could these be the doomed soldiers under Gog of Magog's command per Ezekiel 38/39? If an article published yesterday on RCW.com's Compass blog is correct, we could very well be looking at an image of some of Gog of Magog's troops in a pre-invasion muster formation. The article is entitled "Coming Soon: The Russian Foreign Legion" and is well worth reading if you are as interested in looking at eschatological issues before they occur in the real-world as I am. Here is a what I found to be a rather chilling, goose-bump laden excerpt from the article which I think very accurately describes the ethnic make-up of Gog of Magog's military forces precisely as foretold by Ezekiel:
"Russia's military involvement in Eastern Ukraine currently consists of soldiers and mercenaries from far-flung federal republics such as Chechnya, as well as Ukrainian citizens who are ethnic Russians and wish to support Moscow's efforts to create pro-Russian political entities in the Donbas region. If Ukraine is to serve as a model of Russia's new mode of hybrid warfare, combining special forces and regular military personnel with "rebel" or "militia" formations in areas Moscow deems militarily important, it should be logical to assume that numerous volunteers could be recruited for other such missions. Which brings Russia to the next logical step in its emerging military strategy: allowing foreigners to serve in the Russian armed forces. The main criterium for such service is knowledge of the Russian language"Does that get you excited about Bible prophecy and eschatology in the very present here and now? If so, use the link, there's more for you to read!
2 January 2015: Hardly a day into the new year and there's intel aplenty indicating significant battles of ongoing wars in nations of the Middle East and North Africa with direct prophetic implications will soon be joined.
In Biblical Puwt (Libya) the February to October 2011 rebellion which ousted and caused the death of the late Libyan dictator Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi has festered and blossomed into a full-blown war between the formerly victorious Islamists in Tripoli (western Libya) and an elected Parliament in Tobruk (eastern Libya). The Islamists, known by their new name, Libya Dawn, are internationally supported by Turkey and Qatar, yet find themselves on the defensive in all sectors of the ongoing war. Their enemy are the former al-Qaddafi troops and secular militias led by General Khalifa Haftar who fight for the Tobruk-based House of Representatives (HoR) and which is internationally supported by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In Libyan coastal cities and towns from the Tunisian border eastwards to Tobruk dozens of battles have raged which have recently left HoR forces in a superior military position, one strong enough to allow for an imminent invasion and conquest of Tripoli between now and February 2015. This war almost certainly will determine the victor who will emerge and be consigned to fulfill the deadly prophecy of Ezekiel 38:5 linked above, as well as that of Daniel 11:43.
In Syria the dead and injured in that country's civil war has reached 1 million (800,000 injured; 200,000 killed) among all sides, and the financial loss is rapidly approaching $50 billion among all nations participating in the inter-Islamic slaughter. With this war about to be ramped up considerably through external agencies, these current totals may well be doubled or tripled within a year or so. The prophetic fulfillment of Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49:23-27 has never been closer than it appears at the start of 2015.
Across Europe a distinct blowback to the Islamization reportedly occurring in many countries has recently emerged. In Dresden, Germany each and every Monday there are numbers of citizens, many of them Christians, rapidly approaching 20,000 who peacefully march in protest against "the Islamization of the West." This "We are the people" movement is known by its acronym PEDIGA (Patriotische Europäer Gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes or Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West). Not surprisingly, the current German Chancellor Angela Merkel, formerly of the Communist East German Stasi (secret police) and Agitprop (communist youth propaganda), took to the air New Years Eve on German television to denounce these protestors as racists driven by hatred. Mrs. Merkel has much in common with the current American president, and she will soon witness demonstrations such as the image below illustrates of not just 20,000 individuals, but of 100,000 or more per event in cities across the nation.
The anti-Islam movement is growing in leaps and bounds across Europe, from the Czech Republic to France. In 2015 I think we can reasonably expect anti-Islamic blowback to become as acute as it is becoming in Germany. Did you know that on New Years Eve as world media focused its attention on fireworks celebrations in various capitals and cities of importance little more than passing mention was made of the nearly 1,000 privately owned automobiles that were torched by marauding gangs of Muslims all over the French Republic. This was an encore presentation of Islamic barbarism in France as a similar number of cars were torched this time last year by Muslims. Perhaps "blowback" is too mild of a term for what is coming in Europe.
Current events will, as they have in the past, continue to proactively shape the world into the configuration that will exist for the literal fulfillment of the Lord's prophetic word. Events during the year 2015 can be expected to begin to expedite these real-time processes.
