WE ARE WITNESSING THE DESTRUCTION OF
THE
WEALTH AND SPLENDOUR OF BABYLON/IRAQ BY
DEATH, MOURNING, FAMINE AND
FIRE. (Rev 18:8-10).
THE DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON/IRAQ. (DAY 5).
On our television
screens we are witnessing smoke blackening the sky as Kuwaiti oil platforms are
set on fire by Iraqi forces as they retreat from the allied advance, reminding
us of the scripture:
"I will show portents in the sky
and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke; the sun shall be turned into
darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the
Lord comes." (Joel 2:30,31 NEB).
As allied forces gather against
Iraq and destroy oil fields that provide her wealth and splendour, the sun is
being "turned into darkness" by smoke billowing into the sky from
burning oil fields. In the minds of her victims and her wound-dressers night
bombing of Iraqi cities by allied forces is already turning the "moon into
blood".
Cities of Babylon/Iraq are already
short of food, water, electricity, and hospital beds. Day and night their
accumulated wealth, their cities, their military machine, their oil fields and
their manufacturing base are being destroyed. (Rev 18:8).
HOW SATAN HAS PITCHED HIS "PALATIAL TENTS" IN
ISRAEL.
On the third day
of the war against Babylon/Iraq by allied forces, Iraqi forces began launching
Scud missiles against Israel in
an attempt to provoke their retaliation.
But the United States has put pressure on Israel not to retaliate because of the
threatened involvement of Jordan and Syria if Israel were to become engaged in
the war. The U.S. has instead deployed Patriot interceptor missile batteries in
Israel. Billeted in tents, U.S. military forces are now planted on Israeli soil,
as it is written: "And he will plant his palatial tents between the grand
sea and the holy mountain of Decoration". (Dan 11:45). The
political "wild beast" of the United States has become the warring
authority of satan in Israel. (Rev 13:4).
