Warning To Damascus: ''The 'Burden' is On You''
Source: Omega Letter, by Jack Kinsella
 

11 October 2007 – In recent weeks, there's been an explosion of intelligence information that all seems to point toward an impending war of annihilation between Israel and Syria. The accidental explosion at a Syrian base near Aleppo that Damascus attributed to hot weather detonating a stockpile of explosives was really a chemical weapons accident.

It's since been established by multiple sources that the explosion killed 'dozens' of Iranian weapons engineers and their Syrian counterparts whom they were assisting in mounting chemical warheads on Scud-C missiles.

 

The explosion released VX gas, sarin gas and mustard gas blistering agent throughout the area.

 

VX gas is one of the most dangerous chemicals ever created by man. It can be inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It takes less than a single drop to kill a human being. VX is so adhesive that it is virtually impossible to remove from the surface that it is in contact with.

 

VX has extremely low votility, which means it does not evaporate or decompose. An area oversprayed with VX in a military attack stays stuck to surfaces, with the potential to kill anyone who comes near them.

 

VX kills by cutting off the nervous system. It binds to the enzyme that transmits signals to the nerves and inhibits them. Therefore the nerves become isolated and uncontrollable.

…

I recall reporting in mid-1990's that Syria's chemical and biological arsenal was already the largest in the Middle East.

 

(And that was before Saddam Hussein's rumored stockpiles mysteriously 'vanished' into Syria in early 2003.)

 

Nobody, except the Israelis, Syrians and North Koreans (and none of them are talking) know exactly what Israel destroyed in the Syrian desert on September 6. About the only thing that seems certain was that it was nuclear in nature, and that it originated in North Korea.

…

The Prophet Isaiah, as we've discussed, prophesied the "burden of Damascus" which predicts the utter destruction of Damascus at Israeli hands over what amounts to weak global objections. Damascus, the world's oldest continuously-inhabited city, is prophesied to become a 'ruinous heap'.

 

But Damascus is only 135 miles from Jerusalem. The total nuclear destruction of Damascus would threaten much of Israel with radioactive fallout, not to mention the results of the blast.

 

Israel has small yield nuclear artillery that would effect much destruction, but the kind of destruction that 'removes Damascus from being a city' would demand a combination of low-yield nukes and a neutron barrage.

 

The problem of proximity is complicated by the fact that any war with Syria will include Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, right along Israel's border, and with Hamas from Gaza and the PA from the West Bank.

 

Still, the Prophet Obadiah predicts the destruction of House of Esau by 'the fire' of the House of Jacob, leaving no survivors among the House of Esau. (Obadiah 18)

…

Even if Damascus manages to survive this confrontation, it is just a matter of time before Syria miscalculates and uses chemicals against Israeli targets.

 

And THAT is the point. More than two thousand, five hundred years before the fact, the Hebrew Prophets had already predicted this precise scenario would unfold.

 

They predicted who the antagonists would be, by name and region. They predicted that the target would be Israel, twenty-five centuries before there WAS an Israel.

 

And they predicted, from their various (and different) vantage points in geography and history, all these events would occur at the same point on the timeline, just before the coming of the Messiah-King.

 

Everything that they predicted that could come to pass HAS come to pass, literally, and not allegorically, from the restoration of Israel to the alignment of nations to the effects of 21st century battlefield weaponry in the field -- with 100% accuracy.

 

There is no reason to believe that, given such stunning accuracy so far, those prophecies remaining to be fulfilled will be fulfilled any less accurately or literally in the days ahead.

 

Be confident, despite the chaos and uncertainty. All is according to God's Plan, outlined for us in advance so we would KNOW the signs of the times and rejoice in them, rather than fear them, for we know what they mean.

 

"The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe." (Proverbs 29:25)

 

 

Comments:  Jack Kinsella is one of the leading prophecy greats of our time and he is keeping an eye on Syria. There is no need for me to really comment on Jack’s insight because he spells it all out pretty clear. Be confident, despite the chaos and uncertainty. All is according to God's Plan, outlined for us in advance so we would KNOW the signs of the times and rejoice in them, rather than fear them, for we know what they mean.

 

Two thumbs up for Jack!

 

Isa 17:1 ¶ The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

 

(Andy:

Some teachers say this passage was fulfilled shortly after Isaiah proclaimed it during the Syro-Ephraimitic War (chapters 7-8 of Isaiah) when Damascus was defeated (around the mid 700's BC).  I believe this is a gross misinterpretation of this key passage.  God does not tell Isaiah that Damascus will be defeated - He makes it very clear that the city will be completely laid waste.  The Hebrew wording here is the picture of a garbage heap.  Modern day Damascenes pride themselves in living in a 5,000-yr-old city.  Damascus has never been destroyed!  YET!!!)

EU treaty 'gives too much power to Brussels', says Labour-dominated group of MPs
Source: This is London  

11 October 2007 – Gordon Brown is facing fresh pressure over the revived EU constitution after a Labour-dominated committee of MPs warned that the latest draft was even worse for Britain.

Michael Connarty, chairman of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, wrote to Foreign Secretary David Miliband protesting that the Government's 'red lines' appeared to be unravelling.
 

He warned that Brussels was plotting to start meddling in the UK's criminal justice system after five years, despite repeated Government claims that it was totally protected from EU interference.
 

The Labour MP, whose committee has pored over every line of the new 'Reform Treaty', claimed Britain would be forced to pay massive fines if it refused to cooperate.   

 

Comments:  An EU summit in Lisbon starting Oct. 18 will see the 27 EU members attempt to ratify a draft of the new treaty. Member nations have struggled to secure agreement on a treaty required to streamline decision-making following the union's expansion. This treaty as we know has not changed much from the last EU constitution draft. All they really did was change the name of it from EU constitution to EU reform treaty.

 

Next week will be an important week for Brussels as they try and ratify the draft and finally get it accepted among the 27 members. If it is ratified I believe only Denmark and Ireland may have a referendum on the issue. Britain and Poland are not quite on board so it will be an interesting meeting between all there ministers next Thursday and see if it passes. Without a treaty, Europe is a fish out of water but the bible tells us that Europe will be the fourth beast empire during the great tribulation period and this is why I think this treaty is biblically significant. Let’s see what happens Thursday 18 October.

 

 

Da 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

 

Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
