& Biblical Prophecy

(A-O Newswire) -- The revelation of the Unites States National Intelligence Estimate Report and its conclusions are sending shockwaves around the geo-political world and it is being felt most dramatically in Israel.

The Israelis were made aware of the NIE report a week ago, just after the Annapolis Summit. The NIE revelation stunned the Israeli contingent. During the Summit itself, Iran was the main focus and a sense of urgency was in the air. Yet the following day, Israel's Prime Minister is told of the NIE report and its conclusions.

Daniel's Prophecies of Geo-political Alignments Taking New Shape

In response, on Monday, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah and Iran's President cordially joined with the Gulf Cooperation Council summit as seemingly partners for a new Muslim World Order (MWO). This development strikes us as being highly significant prophetically. The Saudi's rise to military prominence is now escalating under the guise of needing to defend itself against Iran, while at the same time seeking to establish warmer relations with Iran and open new military and diplomatic channels with Russia. All these developments suggest a signal that the geo-political alignments prophesied by Daniel are now coalescing into place for future fulfillment. Even so, it will take time for this coalescing to reach maturity. How long? At least 4 to 5 years if not 10 to 20 years.

At the moment, reports indicate that Saudi Arabia is taking the lead in protecting the Persian Gulf from Persian hegemony by joining the Persian alliance, tentatively. The Saudi King believes that America's ability to project power in the region is diminishing rapidly as long as it languishes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Saudi's see America's effective power draining away worldwide, although the US retains its nuclear power. The Saudis conclude that nuclear power, alone, is not enough for America to be able to enforce its will on the Middle East. America's conventional military and economic power is perceived by the Saudis as dwindling down to the point that the Saudis are maneuvering towards what amounts to a new Muslim World Order (MWO). As such, the Saudis may well constitute what Daniel calls, "The King of the South."

Iran's role would be linked to either the King of the North - with Syria and or Magog, which could be either Turkey as Magog or Russia. I believe Turkey is Magog as this is where Magog originated, not Russia. Turkey is showing signs of moving towards that role as Magog and the trends suggest acceleration towards that role in the near future. We shall see how things develop in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.

Even as Bush was backing away from Iranian confrontation and a new Muslim World Order was being birthed, Iran's government slammed the door against any diplomatic efforts. A new hardline negotiator has taken over as Iran's lead negotiator. On Saturday, December 1, Iran's new negotiator, Saeed Jalili shocked the EU negotiator by pulling all prior negotiations off the table. The Iranian negotiator did so with an  extremely cavalier rudeness that shocked the EU's top diplomat, Javier Solana at the London meeting. Jalili made it quite clear that Iran was in no mood to negotiate. The UN's IAEA, he claimed had given Iran a "clean bill of health." The meeting set the international diplomatic community abuzz with talk of just how distastrous the meeting turned out. The Iranians have no intention of negotiating any further nor in any sort of compromise. Even last weekend, before the NIE was made public, the Iranians had realized that 'the game is over' for the Americans and that the US will do nothing militarily to    stop Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program.

As for a new round of sanctions, the NIE report will justify Rusia and China's refusal to go along with new sanctions. The NIE report also brings Gerrman, French and British leaders to question Bush's credibility on anything. In other words, the view is - Bush misrepresented himself on Iraq's WMD's and now again on Iran's nuclear program. Conclusion: Bush cannot be trusted. We are witnessing the implosion of a Presidency. We've not seen anything like this since Jimmy Carter and the hostage crisis of 1979-80. The Bush administration will easily be remembered as far more inept than that of Jimmy Carter.

Israel's Military Option Is Also Off the Table?

The NIE report effectively makes it poltically untenable for Israel to launch its own military attacks on Iran. The NIE report simply devastates the credibility of any future Israeli claim of an urgent Iranian nuclear threat. The world will simply not believe any Israeli claims now that the US NIE report has been released unless the Israelis can show hard proof. If the Israelis had that hard proof and they may, should they bring that to the world's attention it will only infuriate Washington, because the Bush administration is now desperately trying to avoid a confrontation with Iran. Should Israel proceed with a military attack, it will find itself probably more than totally isolated. It might find itself under Muslim military attack WITHOUT American protection. In other words, An Israeli attack on Iran could set the stage for the Magog war/invasion attempt as predicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

The Iranians Celebrate

The Iranian Leadership is reportedly celebrating its victory over America. The NIE report signals the defeat of American efforts to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Oddly enough, Debkafile reports that Israeli Prime Minsiter Olmert was not briefed on the NIE report by the Americans last week while visiting in Washington after the Annapolis Summit. However, the Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli Prime Minister Olmert has acknowledged that he was indeed briefed by the White House during his visit. This does point out that Debkafile is not immune to its sources being in error.

The Post reports:

"According to Olmert, the report's findings were brought up during his meetings with Washington officials soon after the Middle East Peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland last week." See LINK here.
