‘Time has come’ to act on Iran, Israel says

The “time has come” to deal with Iran, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday, refusing to rule out military action to curb the Islamic republic’s nuclear ambitions. Barak, speaking on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS program, indicated that Israel’s patience was wearing thin — and provided an ominous response when asked about the growing speculation of an Israeli military strike.

Barak, speaking on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS program, indicated that Israel’s patience was wearing thin — and provided an ominous response when asked about the growing speculation of an Israeli military strike.

“I don’t think that that is a subject for public discussion,” he said. “But I can tell you that the IAEA report has a sobering impact on many in the world, leaders as well as the publics, and people understand that the time has come.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency published a report on November 8 saying there was “credible” information that Iran was carrying out “activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device.”

On Friday the IAEA’s board passed a resolution condemning Iran’s nuclear activities, but stopped short of reporting Tehran to the United Nations and issuing no deadline for compliance.

“People understand now that Iran is determined to reach nuclear weapons,” said Barak. There is “no other possible or conceivable explanation for what they have been actually doing. And that should be stopped.”

The IAEA report — based on “broadly, credible” intelligence, its own information and some input from Iran itself — said that Iran had examined how to fit out a Shahab 3 missile, with a range capable of reaching Israel, with a nuclear warhead.

Tehran rejected the report “baseless,” denies it is seeking nuclear weapons and maintains its nuclear activities are for civilian energy purposes.

Washington, Paris and London however jumped on the report as justification to increase pressure on Iran, already under four rounds of Security Council sanctions and additional US and European Union restrictions. source – Yahoo News

Israel Defends After Hezbollah Launches Over 100 Katyusha Rockets From Lebanon On IDF Bases In The Golan Heights In The North

The Israel Defense Forces carried out two waves of airstrikes deep in Lebanon, late Monday and on Tuesday morning, saying fighter jets hit several sites belonging to the Hezbollah terror group.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir slammed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday after Hezbollah fired over a hundred rockets at Israel’s North, calling for a “war now” against the Lebanese terror organization. “Gallant, the military is your responsibility. What are you waiting for?” Ben-Gvir said in a statement. “Over 100 rockets launched at the State of Israel, and you sit quietly? We have to start responding, attacking – war, now!” Israel is a kitten’s whisker away from opening up the second front on this Day 158 of their war with Hamas.

And it shall come to pass in that daythat the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11 (KJB)

Israel remains at war with Hamas in Gaza, a war that is not unlike the United States war with Vietnam. It is a war with seemingly no end, any advances made come at a crazy-high cost, and any victory eventually obtained will be largely pyrrhic. On May 14th, the Jews were indeed regathered to the Land of Israel, but not for the purpose that many think. God brought them back for the purpose of having them all in one place when He unleashes the time of Jacob’s trouble. At the end of that, the Jews will be regathered.

IDF strikes Hezbollah sites deep in Lebanon; 100 rockets fired at north

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: On Tuesday morning, hours after the first wave of strikes in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbbek, a barrage of some 70 rockets was launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon at the Golan Heights, according to the IDF.

It marked one of the largest barrages fired by the terror group amid the ongoing war. A short while later, a further 30 rockets were fired at the Golan Heights, the IDF said.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the barrages, saying it targeted two Israeli army bases in the Golan Heights with more than 100 Katyusha rockets. The terror group said the rocket barrage came in response to recent Israeli attacks, including Monday night’s strike in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek, which reportedly killed a civilian.

There were no reports of damage or injuries from the Hezbollah rockets, with footage showing some of the projectiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system. Sirens had sounded several communities in the northern Golan Heights and the Galilee Panhandle.

Sirens did not sound for the second barrage as the rockets impacted open areas, the army said. After the barrages of 100 rockets, the IDF said fighter jets struck three rocket launchers in southern Lebanon used in the attack.

According to the IDF, the airstrikes on Monday night in the area of northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek targeted facilities belonging to Hezbollah’s “aerial unit.” Baalbek, an area identified in the past as a Hezbollah stronghold, is nearly 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the Israeli border. The IDF said the strikes were in response to the Lebanese terror group’s recent launching of explosives-laden drones toward the Golan Heights. READ MORE

Biblical Archaeologists Uncover The Astonishing Remains Of The Roman VIth Iron Legion Military Base At The Bottom Of Tel Megiddo

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The VIth Legion Roman legionary base at Tel Megiddo is a 2,000-year old Roman military base that was created where Revelation says Armageddon will take place

In recent years, we have brought you some amazing stories about the discoveries of biblical archaeology in the land of Israel. The past seems intent on bubbling up to the surface almost like it knows that things are getting ready to repeat. The discovery we bring you today takes place in Tel Megiddo, a location that you just may recognize as Armageddon in your King James Bible.

“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” Revelation 16:16 (KJB)

Armageddon is one of those things that the majority of the Greek and Hebrew scholars consign to the realm of fantasy, and not seen as the location for the last battle of Antichrist at the Second Advent. So the fact that as construction is being done in Israel for Road 66, they find remains of the Roman VIth Legion at Megiddo, and Revelation 16:16 the only place in the Bible that mentions Armageddon, what does that make you think of? To me, that’s a lot of 6’s! Even the reference for Armageddon in the Strong’s Concordance is G717 which adds up to 6. Do you think the Lord is telling us something? I sure do.

1,800-year-old Roman Legionary Base discovered at Tel Megiddo

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Architectural remains of the 1,800-year-old Roman VIth ‘Ferrata’ Iron Legion military base have been uncovered in a recent excavation carried out by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) at the foot of Tel Megiddo, near the ancient Kfar Othnay village (Capercotnai in Greek).

The excavation was funded by the Netivei Israel National Infrastructure Company, said the IAA, which called it “a unique opportunity to uncover part of the full-scale Roman legionary base.”

Directed by Dr. Yotam Tepper and Barak Tzin, the dig is part of the major infrastructure project to expand and upgrade Road 66 from the Megiddo Junction to the Hatishbi Junction at Yokneam. In the course of the excavation, extensive and impressive architectural remains of the Via Pretoria (the main road of the camp) were uncovered, as well as a semicircular-shaped podium and stone-paved areas that were part of a large, monumental public building.

“The Roman Legion camp at Legio was the permanent military base for over 5,000 Roman soldiers for more than 180 years, from 117-120 BCE to about 300 CE,” said Tepper. “Two main roads intersected at the center of the 550-meter- long and 350-m-wide camp, and its headquarters were erected here. It was from this base point that all the distances along the Roman Imperial roads to the main cities in the north of the country were measured and marked with milestones. The ancient building remains were not preserved to a height, as most of the building stones were removed over the years for reuse in building projects carried out during the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods.”

“In the course of the excavation seasons, the upper part of the commanders’ courtyard (principia) was exposed southwest of Road No. 66, and in the present excavation, carried out on behalf of the IAA. We are uncovering the northeastern part of the camp that extends alongside Road No. 66.”

Coins, parts of weapons, pottery sherds, and glass fragments were uncovered, but the most predominant finds are the roof tiles that were found in extremely large quantities. “The roof tiles, some of which were stamped with the VIth Legion stamps, were used for various purposes, for roofing buildings, paving floors, and even coating walls. The technology and know-how, the building techniques, and the weapons that the Legion brought with it from the home country, are unique to the Roman army, reflecting specific Roman Imperial military footprints,” the IAA said.

Engineer Dima Pritsker, director of the northern branch of the Engineering and Development Unit in the Netivei Israel Company: “We are talking about an extremely important road project 15 kilometers long for reducing traffic congestion along the road and to improve the safety of drivers and passengers. The project incorporates the construction of the Megiddo Interchange at the junction of Roads 65 and 66. The Transport Ministry is investing 1.5 billion shekels in the project carried out by Netivei Israel. READ MORE

Saudi Arabia Says No Abraham Accords With Israel Until The Jews Agree To Give Up Land To Create Palestinian State Via The Two State Solution

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Israel must recognize a Palestinian state at the pre-1967 border lines in order to normalize ties with Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that appeared to douse US President Joe Biden’s hope for a trilateral deal between Washington, Riyadh, and Jerusalem this year.

The Jordanian Arabs that we call the Palestinians have been offered their own state many times over the past century, and each and every time they have turned it down. Why? Because they don’t want their own state, they never did. What they want is the end of Israel, and every Jews driven into the sea. So this idea that if Israel will accept a deal based on the pre-1967 borders is a complete lie, as they rejected every deal from 1937 to 1967. The other day, Saudi Arabia told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken the price for peace.

“The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.” Exodus 15:14 (KJB)

The Abraham Accords, written by Mohamed bin Zayed, given to Jared Kushner who then presented it to then-president Donald Trump to be signed by the US and Israel, have always had one goal in mind, the creation of a Palestinian state. So if Israel doesn’t want a Two State Solution, and the Palestinians don’t want a Two State Solution, then who does? If you guessed Satan and the people that he controls, you’d be correct. 3 years ago at the UN, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed told the world that the whole purpose of the Abraham Accords was to create a Palestinian State.

No Abraham Accords peace talks with Israel without a Palestinian two state solution, Saudi Arabia says

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “The Kingdom has communicated its firm position to the US administration that there will no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on the 1967 border with east Jerusalem as its capital,” the Saudi Foreign Ministry said.

It added that “the Kingdom reiterates its call to the permanent members of the UN Security Council that have not yet recognized the Palestinian state, to expedite the recognition of the Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with east Jerusalem as its capital, so that the Palestinian people can obtain their legitimate rights and so that a comprehensive and just peace is achieved for all.”

It issued its statement just one day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Saudi Arabia and met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud in Riyadh on Monday.

It was the first leg of Blinken’s whirlwind Middle East tour, the fifth he has made since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. The visit, which included stops in Egypt and Qatar, is billed as one that would advance a Saudi-Israel normalization deal and an agreement with Hamas for the release of over 130 hostages held in Gaza.

At a press briefing in Doha on Tuesday night, prior to his arrival in Israel on Wednesday, Blinken spoke optimistically about the possibility of a Saudi-Israel normalization deal.

“With regard specifically to normalization, the crown prince reiterated Saudi Arabia’s strong interest in pursuing that,” Blinken said. “But he also made clear what he had said to me before, which is that in order to do that two things are required: an end to the conflict in Gaza and a clear, credible, time-bound path to the establishment of a Palestinian state.” READ MORE
