The Invasion Begins

It's just a guess, but I'm beginning to suspect that the "Gog/Magog" Invasion of Israel may have already started, at least as far as Russia and their Muslim allies are concerned.

The facts: Russia has been at the heart of the Geneva negotiations to bring about a cease-fire agreement between the Iranian-supported ( Shiite Muslim forces) Syrian government, and the rebel forces (largely Sunni Muslim believers). These two dominant sects of Islam traditionally have a virulent hatred for each other, which is only dwarfed by their even greater hatred for Israel, and anyone who helps Israel ( like America). As of last reports to my knowledge, the Iranians had shipped in some 40,000 troops ( oops, I mean "volunteers", as I doubt that they brought their army uniforms with them) to assist the Syrians, while Al Quaida has brought in similar numbers of "freedom fighters" from all over the Muslim world, not so much to help the original rebel forces, as to take over the insurgency and make it their fight to conquer the entire Muslim world, so they could usher in the coming of their "Mahdi"( or the Muslim equivalent of the Jewish Messiah) to eventually conquer the whole world for Islam.

All along I had presumed that a Russian-led invasion of the Middle-East would be precipitated by a blatant cavalcade of Russian Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers, trucks, and Helicopters swarming through the Caucasus Mountains and into the "Mountains of Israel", to be joined later by the sympathetic armies of the Israeli-hating Muslim nations. But now I think what we are seeing developing in Syria today may be the complete reverse of this plan. There are already enough Muslim forces in Syria now to serve as a serious threat to the safety of Israel ( discounting God, of course), and all that is needed is an agreement that fighting Israel is much more desirable to them than fighting each other. So, if a Geneva accord can be established, it might serve as a cooling-off period during which the Russian Commander ( "Gog", whomever that will be) might present to the two sides his plan for conquering Israel. They might even decide to stop killing each other long enough to try and destroy Israel, which they would much rather do.

Also, I heard on the news today that Iran, and the government in Iraq are negotiating to merge their countries, since both governments are predominantly Shiite Muslim controlled ( Iraq's Sunni government, under Sadaam Husein having been dismissed after the Allied invasion overthrew them). There has been a long standing view that these two countries wanted to re-form the old Assyrian Dynasty along with Syria and claim it as a Shiite Empire. Only Sadaam had hindered this in the past. I did wonder if it was wise for America, and their allies to create a puppet government, even temporarily made up mostly of Shiite loyalists, since their capital is so close to Iran, and we knew how much Iran wanted to take control of Iraq, and especially their rich oil fields. Together with their own oil deposits this new united country would control the largest total deposit of oil in the world, dwarfing even Saudi Arabia, their third most hated enemy ( after Israel and America). Now since the Al Quaida forces have moved into, and taken control of the nearby city of Fallujah, Bagdad's government seems in a hurry to bring about this union of two nations, along with the international right of Iran's army to move in and defend them from advancing Al Quaida forces, which they seem to prefer to asking America, and our allies to do it. Should this come to pass, the Al Quaida forces would be stranded between the Shiite forces of the new Iranian territory, and that of the territory controlled by Bashir Assad's Syrian forces, ( who also have wanted to join forces with Iran for years, creating the New Assyrian Empire).

Since the rich oil fields would be under Iranian control, the Al Quaida forces would be left controlling a largely worthless territory, and might simply withdraw rather than try and fight on two fronts simultaneously. This would leave the whole area under the control of the new Iran/Iraq/Syrian government which would almost certainly call itself the new Assyrian Empire. All this might embolden them to unite with Russia in their desperate attempt to Invade, and try to conquer Israel. Fortunately, they don't realize that they are thumbing their noses at God Almighty, and He has promised that when they do that will mark the end of His patience with all of them, and He will bring about the near total destruction of their invasion forces ( roughly 84%), by a combination of what seems to me to be a Tactical Nuclear bombardment by the Israeli Defense Forces, which seems to set their enemies in a blind panic of a retreat, with perhaps a futile effort by their commanders to turn them back resulting in a wholesale slaughter, as "every man's sword will be against his brother". This is apparently how God has chosen to glorify Himself, in the face of man's arrogance at trying to destroy His "Chosen People", when He has warned them against doing so for thousands of years. This is the fate of all those that ignore His warnings in the Bible, at their own peril!
