THE END OF THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM? A GOOD ARTICLE HERE BY COREEN LEBID FROM CANADA.

Final Stages of Countdown to Armageddon?

Are we nearing the end of the calm before the storm?  Is this even possible to know?  What makes this year different from all others regarding the race towards Armageddon and how things may soon play out?
These are some questions I have been pondering of late and with September being just two short months away, I believe it is important to re-post an article from earlier this year which gives insight into the militant mindset of Islam and the timing that is in place to first come against Israel, and then the whole world.
Now we know from Scripture that Islam will never fully succeed in this measure but the death and destruction from this effort to conquer and control the world will be catastrophic; namely Armageddon.  So how close are we?

When The Fuse To Armageddon Was Lit

Most will remember this infamous handshake on the White House lawn; the handshake that reverberated around the world and made headlines in September of 1993.  “Peace”they cried and many marveled at such an achievement yet all the while clueless that this momentous event had just lit the fuse and the countdown to Armageddon had begun.
The Oslo Accords were intended to pave the way for a Palestinian State in the 1990′s yet clearly this did not happen but that goal still remains, under the guise of peace, which in reality is the old Muslim road that leads to war.
Now the Bible gives us much understanding regarding the implications of the Oslo Accords in that before Joshua led the children of Israel into their Promised Land, Moses gave the people many instructions from God, all for their own safety and good; there were blessings for obedience and curses if they disobeyed.  One of the warnings was that they must never enter into any covenant with the nations round about them.
Deuteronomy 7:1-2
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
But Yitzhak Rabin paid no heed to God’s warning when he sold out the nation of Israel to her enemies in 1993 by entering into a covenant with them through the Oslo Accords.  The following passage well describes what took place on that grave day and sadly, Mr. Rabin paid dearly for his part in all this when he was assassinated on November 4, 1995.
Jeremiah 6:14-15
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
I realize this is old news but it is important to understand how signing the Oslo Accords changed everything for Israel in that because of it, their hands are now tied regarding how they respond to terrorism that assaults them on a daily basis.  Further, each successive government is now bound by this agreement to divide the land of Israel as a break with this covenant would not only incur the wrath of Muslims, but the whole world as well.
Now while it may be that Israel entered into this agreement out of a genuine desire for peace, to the Muslims it is a tactical military maneuver known in Arabic as the Truce of Hudaybiyyah of which Ramon Bennett in “Philistine The Great Deception” writes,
“Mohammed first used the Truce against the inhabitants of Mecca in the 7th century — two years before he destroyed them.  Saladin, the famous 12th century Moslem Prince also used the Truce and made “peace” with the Crusaders in the Holy Land before attacking and defeating them.  The Truce has become a model for all agreements with non-Moslems (infidels).  It is never permanent: never lasting more than 10 years (with the possibility of another 10 year extension, no more).  Islam is not permitted to stop its war against non-Moslems for more than this period. The countdown to Armageddon, therefore, began in September 1993, and the war ought to be launched before September 2003, but must begin, at the very latest, in September 2013.  The actual timing for the war will entirely depend upon Islam’s perception of its own strength, and that of Israel’s weakness brought about by the Truce.”
Armed with this knowledge of Islam’s strategy for conquest through truces, it looks very much like 2013 will be a year like none other.  With hostilities as high as they presently are in the Middle East it is hard to believe war has not yet broken out and if it is held at bay until Islam’s deadline of September 13th, things may well come to a head this year right at the fall Feasts of The Lord which point to the rapture, the time of Jacob’s trouble (the tribulation) and Jesus’ glorious return to set up His kingdom!
The Oslo Accords were never a covenant of peace but one of war.  The Bible actually refers to the “peace process” as a “covenant with death” because Israel trusted in lies and falsehood for her peace and security rather than trusting in God alone and sadly, she will pay dearly for this disobedience with much bloodshed.
Isaiah 28:14-18
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Yet in spite of a bleak outlook all hope is not lost as God will use these Islamic-inspired wars with Israel to bring salvation both to Israel and the nations.  His purpose is to draw the focus of world attention to bear upon Himself as He brings Israel onto center stage in world events through the means of horrific and catastrophic wars.  God specifically chose Israel as the nation through whom He would make a name for Himself and what He says in His Word, He will do.
Are those who submit to Islam truly fundamental to their faith and are we now in the final stages of the countdown to Armageddon?  Time will soon tell and I believe we must remain watchful and be in prayer regarding all of this.
Until That Day…
1 Peter 4:7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
