THE CUTTING EDGE

NEWS BRIEF:  "Israeli Army Concentrates On Northern Border Ready For Large-Scale Exercise Sunday:  Syrian Army and Hizbollah Placed On Alert", DEBKAfile, http://www.debka.com/, Saturday, March 24, 2001.

"In their get-acquainted encounter in the White House Tuesday, President George W. Bush responded affirmatively to Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon’s request for American endorsement of an Israeli military crackdown against Palestinian terrorists - provided the Israeli Army did not step beyond limits set forth in the plan of action he submitted to the administration prior to the visit. This is reported by DEBKAfile’s American sources. The US President has thus taken his first major foreign policy decision, a green light for an Israeli army strike at the core of the blossoming radical Middle East bloc linking Baghdad, Gaza, Tehran, the Hizballah and possibly Damascus, before it ripens. Both understood that a major Israeli action against the Palestinians could, if the Hizballah joined in the fray, spread to Lebanon and Syria and, under certain circumstances, to Iraq too."

For several years now, Cutting Edge Ministries has been warning that this upcoming Arab-Israeli war would be fought with exactly these Arab enemies of Israel combining forces to attack in unprecedented forces with unprecedented devastating firepower.  You can read these reports by going to our Home Page at www.cuttingedge.org and then clicking on Directory of All News Articles link at the bottom of the last button.  We have been warning about this scenario since 1996!  While events have taken much longer to develop than we thought, they apparently are coming to fruition right now.

The only piece of the puzzle that is lacking is Egypt and Jordan, both of whom will probably join the fight once it gets going.  The Egyptian Army recently called up its reserves and the entire army was reorganized so it could more effectively manage its forces during a war.  Further, the Egyptian Army has been spending the last few weeks in an exercise which military analysts believe is aimed squarely at Israel, and not too subtly at that.

Now, let us return to the DEBKAfile intelligence report:

"Bush assured Israel of military aid and diplomatic cover for mutually agreed limited military actions as well as intelligence and air support from US satellites, spy planes, cruise and anti-missile missiles, should Israel be subjected to Iraqi or Syrian missile attack ... As for the Sharon blueprint okayed by the Americans, all DEBKAfile’s military sources can disclose is that Israeli raider forces will initially be sent into action against Palestinian command centers and military camps in Gaza Strip and West Bank, whence originate terrorist operations against Israeli targets.  The campaign may also expand at some point to non-Palestinian military elements ... Arafat, Saddam Hussein, the Iranians and the Hizballah all appear to be up to their eyes in military preparations programmed to catch both the Israelis and the Americans off guard."

Once Israeli military and paramilitary units begin their sweep in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the Arabs should begin their attack, perhaps preceded by a deliberate blowing up of the coveted Dome of the Rock, to be blamed on the Jew.  Arabs are totally convinced that they can successfully annihilate Israel only if all the Arab and Muslim governments in the region are firmly united.  To unite even the most moderate of Arab governments, Arafat plans to blow up the Dome of the Rock [Read NEWS1404 for full details]

Egypt has already made it very clear to Israel that she will react to any heavy military action in the Gaza Strip, while Syria has made similar threats to Israel about military action either in the West Bank or on the northern border with Lebanon.  The only puzzlement I have about this scenario is why Israel will begin the battle by going into the Palestinian Authority areas rather than first attacking directly at the missiles threatening them in Lebanon, in Egypt, and at the Iraqi batteries parked at the Syrian/Jordanian/Iraqi border.  These Iraqi missiles are reported to be loaded with warheads that are nuclear, biological, chemical, and conventional.  Perhaps Israel will strike hard at these forces in the hours before she initiates action against the Palestinian Authority; if she does not, then she gives the missile commanders time to initialize the launch countdown so critical to firing off these missiles.  We shall just have to wait to see how the actual military action proceeds.

Let us return to the DEBKAfile:

NEWS BRIEF:  "Imminent Flashpoint Developing on Lebanese Frontier", Ibid.

"The signs are all there. Before returning home on Thursday, Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon informed the Wall Street Journal – after disclosing to the US President George W. Bush – the presence in Lebanon of Iranian Pager surface missiles with a range of 120km, i.e. capable of striking at points in heavily populated central Israel. The missiles were flown in last year via Damascus military airport and transported by truck to bases in Lebanon. There they passed to the direct command of Iranian Pazdaran (Revolutionary Guards) officers who are in charge of their maintenance ... The IDF has begun assembling forces on its northern frontier – according to military sources, in readiness for a large-scale exercise. The same sources report that the Syrian army, Hizballah units and the Lebanese army have been placed on alert. The timing is significant: In three days time, on Tuesday, the Arab League summit opens in Amman."

Thus, as this report is being written, Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] are assembling at the northern border with Lebanon, getting ready for "exercises" that may very well presage a preemptive military strike.  Hizbollah and Syrian military forces are on high alert, as they intend to get off their missiles before Israel can strike to take them out.  Reports for the past few months have consistently reported that both Hizbollah and the Palestinian Authority were dramatically upgrading their paramilitary forces, in both training and equipment, to prepare for a dramatic shift from terrorist units to regular military.

"The decision of whether to administer the blow before or after the Arab summit was left to Sharon, in consultation with Washington. The latest moves create the option for a strike within the next 72 hours."

Let me repeat that last sentence:  "The latest moves create the option for a strike within the next 72 hours."   

Never before have the military and diplomatic situation seemed to be so combined as to reach critical mass, at a time period immediately preceding the Passover celebration.  In that original Passover, God sent His Death Angel over the entire land, killing the eldest born of both human and livestock.  Only those Jewish homes protected by the blood of the Paschal Lamb survived the death of the eldest born.  Are we about at this moment in history, when God will again fight for Israel?  We shall just have to wait, watch, and pray.

FURTHER PREPARATIONS FOR THE ANNIHILATION OF THE PALESTINIANS!

In several past articles, we have reported that one of the major Bible prophesies waiting to be fulfilled was the prophecy found in Obadiah 15-18 [Read NEWS1123 for full details].  In this prophecy, God announces His End Times judgment upon the House of Esau, a judgment that calls for 100% annihilation of the population.  The House of Esau today are the Palestinians, a people living under the control of Arafat within Israel and the Palestinian population living in Jordan.  These people are heading for this complete eradication, as the "handwriting is on the wall", literally.

We reported on this coming war in this above article, among others.  In light of the DEBKAfile just quoted above, where Prime Minister Sharon has just received a green light from President Bush to carry out a preemptive military strike, listen to part of NEWS1123: 

"The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau shall be stubble; they shall kindle and burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken it." [Verse 18, Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified]

"I believe that I see in this verse that the origin of the military action is within the houses of Jacob and Joseph. In other words, I believe I may see a preemptive military strike by Israel."  I said this nearly three years ago, based upon the Obadiah prophecy and upon my knowledge gained while in U.S. Army Military Intelligence.  Today's news events seem to be bearing this scenario out.  However, if the Israeli Army was planning to annihilate their Palestinian enemies man, woman, and child, they faced a severe problem in that Palestinian neighborhoods adjoin right up to the Jewish population.  Since no Israeli leader will want to slaughter significant numbers of his own people in this annihilating attack on the Palestinians, we postulated that THE sign of such impending action would be the separating of populations.  In other words, when we saw the IDF physically separating the Palestinian and Jewish people, we would know that attack was imminent.

In November, 2000, in NEWS1434 and NEWS1443, we took note that Prime Minister Barak had ordered the IDF to begin exactly this type of physical separation.  In the first article, we quoted a Jewish councilman, a Mr. Wallerstein, who was bringing to the public eye the fact that Israel was cordoning off entire Palestinian cities and villages.  Mr. Wallerstein said, "It's clear that the government wishes to cut off the Yesha towns one from another, and to create large Palestinian blocs that have no Jewish presence."

This term at the end of this last sentence caught my eye, for it was exactly THE sign I had been predicting to occur shortly before Israel annihilated the Palestinians in fulfillment of Obadiah 15-18.  The IDF began to erect fences, first of wire, then of more sturdy material, completely around the Palestinian settlements.  Even Jersey Barriers were used in some instances to segregate the Palestinians from the Jews.  Then, the fences became more permanent, and guard positions more heavily fortified.  Cutting Edge began screaming loudly to anyone who wanted to hear the truth:  the Israelis are getting ready to slaughter the Palestinians man, woman, and child.  The Israeli military would pull the trigger, but the Judgment, the Vengeance, would belong to God.

But, just this week, on March 9, 2001, we received another report about these barriers separating the Palestinian population from the Jewish, and the report was shocking.  Listen:

"Intelligence analysts are puzzled over the events occurring in and around Israel. Israel has been continuously cutting off more and more PA territory with trenches encircling the towns."  Some news stories have reported that trenches, five to eight feet deep and five feet wide, have been dug around the major cities in the Palestinian Authority (PA) territory.  Now, what purpose could such huge trenches serve?

If we check the Obadiah prophecy once again, we discover that God's judgment weapon will be fire. In NEWS1422, we reported on one such weapon in the arsenal of both the United States and Israel.  This weapon is the Fuel Air Bomb, and it destroys with fire in a manner reminiscent of a small nuclear explosion.  If this is the weapon by which Israel is going to destroy the Palestinians, then the type of physical separation would make a lot of sense.

But, what purpose might these five-foot-wide by five-foot-deep trenches around the Palestinian villages serve?  Might they be ultimately filled with water?  Or, are they designed to keep people from getting through the fences to escape the village?  Or, more likely, at least during the beginning phases of any military action, these trenches would serve as a real barrier to the heavily armed Palestinian Militia coming out from these Palestinian cities and attacking IDF positions outside.  This latter military option seems most logical, from the Israeli side.

We do not know exactly the purposes these trenches will serve in the coming war, but these they can only be viewed as further isolation of the Palestinian population from the Jewish, a most important necessity before the annihilation occurs.

Truly, these events seem to foretell the soon explosion in the Middle East that will begin the planned  World War III that is designed to produce Antichrist.  Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
