THE INEVITABLE MIDEAST WAR CANNOT DELAY MUCH LONGER

THE INEVITABLE MIDEAST WAR CANNOT DELAY MUCH LONGER

Presently, on the ground in Syria, the situation degrades by the day. Syria's president, Assad, who continues to slaughter his own people, is one of the staunch allies of Iran.

Assad has forewarned the nation of Israel that "Syria will shower Tel Aviv with rockets if attacked by foreign powers".

Therefore, the recent headlines announcing that multiple foreign countries are planning military intervention in Syria, are extremely alarming:

"US, France, UK, Turkey, Italy prepare for military intervention in Syria"

The preceding threat against Israel shows that Assad may launch war against Israel in order to divert the world's attention from himself.

If other nations/"foreign powers" intervene in what has become civil war in Syria, Assad may make good on his promise to "shower rockets" on Tel Aviv.

This tactic that Assad has threatened would successfully shift the focus from Syria to Israel, by making Israel the new military front.

In response to Assad's threats to shower rockets on Tel Aviv, "Western intelligence sources have reported that Israel reacted with the warning of its own that 'If a single Syrian missile explodes in Tel Aviv, Damascus will be first to pay the price' ":

These very real threats appear to provide overwhelming evidence why we may soon see "Damascus being the first to pay the price", resulting in the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:

Isaiah 17:1 Behold, DAMASCUS WILL CEASE TO BE A CITY will become a heap of ruins.
Please see this recent entry for more details regarding this last days prophecy, wherein Damascus ceases to be a city and becomes a heap of ruins:

Additionally, both China and Russia are backing Assad and threatening against any interference in Syrian matters. Both of these powerful nations are showing their support of Assad.:

Russia, China reject "interference" in Syria"

Russia, in particular, has been very vocal in its not so veiled threats:

Syria's alliance with Hezbollah and Iran will give good reason for both of these avowed enemies of Israel to join in the attack, protecting their ally.

Of course, they are fully aware that any act of self-defense by Israel will still cause the entire world to view Israel as being at fault.

They have long been waiting for justification to attack Israel, who they hate with an everlasting hatred that goes back thousands of years.

Back two years ago, Syria joined with Hezbollah and Iran, forming an alliance with the goal of destroying Israel.

Ever since, they have all been militarily fortifying themselves for this soon coming conflict.

If superpowers nations such as China and Russia make good on their threats to defend Assad, and Israel's menacing Arab enemies jump in the fray, a world war like no other will ensue.

Important to note is that Israel is literally surrounded with Goliath-sized neighbors, who want nothing less than her total annihilation.

Due to these very real threats, Israel has adopted a defense strategy that should make her enemies think twice before carrying out their desires "to wipe Israel off the map".

This strategy of self-preservation is called the Samson Option. It is an "alleged deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence, and possibly against other targets as well":

In essence, the Samson Option is a serious caution to Israel's many enemies. This sends a loud and clear message that if Israel is attacked with any weapon of mass destruction (WMD), that it would result in mutually assured destruction because Israel would immediately respond to any such attack, in kind, with WMD's against her attacker(s).

The "Samson Option" may well explain why in the course of one single evening, Damascus is destroyed:
Isaiah 17:14 In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone!

The entire Mideast grows more unstable and volatile by the day. It is powderkeg, whose fuse has been lit and is burning shorter by the day...
