The meaning of Nebuchadnezzar's name is "a son of the gods". He was used as an instrument of God"s judgement. In other-words, God used him to prove to him that GOD HIMSELF was all power and authority and it is ONLY GOD who will bring divine judgement on all those who refuse to accept for who GOD is, and make changes in one's unacceptable behavior...thus Nebuchadnezzar would fall into the hands of an angry GOD.
Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon (Babylon is the most famous city from ancient Mesopotamia whose ruins lie in modern-day Iraq 59 miles southwest of Baghdad). He was known to take whatever he pleased and did whatever he desired to do without any regards to others, and made himself "master" of everything, and those he chose to reign under him, he made them pay tribute and honor to him. He allowed those he had chosen to do as they pleased and they gave praises to him for his success. He admired the kings of the world and the praise and glory of men.
He made golden images (statues) of himself and placed them around the world, so that everyone would see and know that he was in power and authority. He was a man full of pride and haughtiness, and abused God's patience when he was called to repentance of his sins. He instead continued to walk in ostentatious boastfulness, vanity and pride. He saw everything as being great and of greatness. He boasted in things he had not accomplished, taking credit for things he had not done or built. Although he was a builder of great cities and building, the metropolis of his empire .
But Nebuchadnezzar's sins provoked God against him... he was vindictive, self-centered, and self-gloating. He abused his power and behaved arrogantly toward God and the people. Yes, he was a successful ruler among the nations and he had influence in the affairs of the people and the churches and the world. However, his desire was to be the head of ALL the nations in the whole world as ruler. He was rich and powerful and loved winning in all thing, and he was victorious. He also desired to be worshiped and praised. Sure, he acknowledged God in heaven as being the God of Israel, and as being God of gods, and Lord of lords and King of kings. BUT, he too, wanted to be equal to God and was in competition with God, to be just as great and powerful as the heavenly God the Creator. Nebuchadnezzar wanted to be King of all kings, Lord of all lords, and god of all the world.
One day, he summoned all the people to attend the dedication of his gold statue of himself, giving a proclamation and command that ALL the people in the land be present and to fall down and worship the gold statue he had made of himself. And all those who would not fall down to worship the statue would be immediately thrown into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. He would become outraged and full of fury if anyone defiled or refused to follow his commands and he would order their punishment to be reinforced.
Nebuchadnezzar's pride, lying, and arrogance would not allow him to self examine his unacceptable behavior and deeds with true conviction for change. He LISTENED TO NO ONE nor heeded their counsel of his counselors until God intervened and showed Himself up close and personal to Nebuchadnezzar in a mighty way....God showed Himself more powerful to Nebuchadnezzar than he had ever seen. God had to prove His dominance over Nebuchadnezzar so that Neb could relate to what authority and power was all about.
Case In Point: One night God came to Nebuchadnezzar in a dream. This dream was very frightening to him, which he demanded answers that his trusted team of surrogates, wise men, and astrologers could not answer. Of course, they gave him all kinds of answers they thought and felt were appropriate, acceptable, and true, but the answers did not satisfy Nebuchadnezzar's restless inner spirit. he knew there had to be better answers somewhere other than what they were telling him the dream meant. The next night God revealed to him his fall from his kingdom and the need for him to repent of his pride and arrogance, and reform his unacceptable behavior. God also revealed to him the consequence and punishment if he DID NOT reform through the prophet of God... Daniel, who was full of godly wisdom and faith. Daniel was a young Jewish lad from Jerusalem who are captured by Nebuchadnezzar and brought to Babylon when he invaded the land. Daniel served the king and his successors with loyalty and trustworthiness yet, he remained true to the God of Israel, and refused to eat " the king's dainties" the fine food of the king but rathered ate only vegetables. Daniels also refused to fall into idolatry and worship the gold statue of the king. Daniel was summoned to come before the king to interpret the dream for Nebuchadnezzar.
Side Bar: Before God executes punishment on us, He always give us warnings to make changes. It is our choice to receive and make those behavioral changes or reject doing so, and suffer the consequences of punishment.
Nebuchadnezzar REFUSED to make those needed changes and rejected what God had told him in the dream after Daniel had interpreted the dream for him.
His punishment from God: 1. Nebuchadnezzar was afflicted with mental illness- Boanthropy is a psychological disorder in which the sufferer believes he/she is an animal (cow or oxen, etc.) ... "he was driven from among the people and did eat grass as oxen�. His nails and hair grew long and wild.
2. Nebuchadnezzar was removed from power as king of Babylon, deprived of his honor as a king before the people, and as a man.
3. Nebuchadnezzar lost all of his reasoning and lost his dominion, understanding and memory.
4. Nebuchadnezzar was separated from his family, friends and the people he ruled over and forced into isolation.
5, For seven year Nebuchadnezzar lived hopeless as if he was an oxen eating grass for his food.
6. Nebuchadnezzar was bought to total humiliation and embarrassment before the nations.
After the seven years, Nebuchadnezzar recovered. God restored him to his right mind, and Nebuchadnezzar was brought to humble humility before God upon recognizing and praising God as his Maker and Creator who had all power and authority. Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that ONLY GOD was ruler, Lord and King over all things including all that he had accomplished and thought he owned, all his wealth and power as the king of Babylon. Upon giving honor to God alone, and praising God alone for all things, God restored Nebuchadnezzar back as king of Babylon after seven years, as if there had never been any interruptions.
The moral of this story: God brought judgement on Nebuchadnezzar because of his pride and haughtiness, and obstinate, and because he had affronted God. We, the people of America, must be patient and pray that Donald J Trump will repent of his pride and haughty ways, and change his unacceptable behavior as President of our nation, or else TRUMP too, will fall into the hands of an ANGRY GOD JUST AS NEBUCHADNEZZAR... Only difference... Donald Trump WILL NOT BE RESTORED BACK TO HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT! Amen and Amen!
The reading of this whole story can be found in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
**COULD DONALD TRUMP BE THE MOST POERFDUL WORLD LEADER THAT CAUSES **WORLD CHAOS** BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS POSSIBLY ON THE **70TH ANNIVERSARY** ON THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AT 2 MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT ON MAY 14th, 2018**??**??
As you know **70 7's** and **666** are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy. Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly **70 YEARS** plus **7 MONTHS** plus **6** days plus **66** minutes old {Or **6+66**} when he became the most powerful leader in the world! Donald Trump's swearing in inauguration began at noon on January 20th, 2017 and ended at 2 minutes after noon on January 20th, 2017!
Trump is certainly not a saint. About 80 % of the Evangelicals voted for him because they were afraid that Hillary would select the next 2 or 3 Chief Justices who would be very tough on Evangelicals who preached against gay marriage etc. and possibly remove their tax free status.
However, Trump is just as evil as Hillary or Obama. Trump's favorite pastor was the famous liberal, Norman Vincent Peale who made fun of people who believe in the inspiration of God's Word or the Divinity of Jesus or eternal hell etc. He also taught that it is moral to have a huge ego and you don't have to repent of your sins. Trump has repeatedly said that he has never repented of anything he did. Trump owned a gambling casino which really steal people's money with tremendous odds. His casino also had very lewd shows with topless women doing very sinful gyrations.
Norman Vincent Peale was Trump's Pastor for 25 years and married Trump and his 2 sisters, Mr Peale's famous book **The Power of Positive Thinking** is the most liberal Christian book ever written. In his book Mr. Peale refuses to allow his followers to hear, speak or see any evil. For him real human suffering does not exist; there is no such thing as murderous rage, suicidal despair, cruelty, lust, greed, mass poverty, or illiteracy. All these things he would dismiss as trivial mental processes which will evaporate if thoughts are simply turned into more cheerful channels.
Trump has had 3 wives. In the last year of his first wife he had a very open adulterous relationship with Marla Maples, his future 2nd wife, and he then made the cover of Playboy magazine. Trump then married his 3rd and last wife who is 25 years younger. Trump became famous for bragging to a TV reporter that he could grab women's crotches and get away with it because he is so rich, handsome and famous. About 6 months ago 10 women claimed that they were sexually harassed or fondled by Trump. When someone objects to his vulgar language or ideas he is very good at viciously attacking them and he never turns the other cheek as Jesus has commanded. Trump is very rich and loves and worships the **ALMIGHTY DOLLAR**!
Trump's favorite preacher for the past 15 years has been Paula White and she is now in the **INNER CIRCLE** of Trump's advisers. Paula White promotes pornography for married people and declares that divorce is a **GIFT FROM GOD**. Paula White is a woman preacher that has made a fortune taking money from gullible people with her Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has also had an adulterous affair with Benny Hinn who is the king of those preaching the evil Prosperity Gospel.
I Timothy 2:11: A **WOMAN** should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a **WOMEN** **TO TEACH** or to assume authority **OVER A MAN**!
I Corinthians 15:34,35:**WOMEN** should remain silent in the churches, They are not allowed **TO SPEAK**, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about anything, they should ask their husbands at home; for it is **DISGRACEFUL** for a **WOMAN** **TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH**!!
I Timothy 6:9,10: People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil!.
Over 15 years, radio shock jock Howard Stern and his buddy Donald Trump periodically carried on like towel-snapping �bros� in a locker room, rating women�s tops and bottoms, debating whether oral sex is �important,� and egging each other on about whether they would like to go to bed with famous women from Cindy Crawford to Diane Sawyer.
�You could�ve gotten her, right?� Stern asked Trump on-air shortly after Princess Diana�s death in 1997. �You could�ve nailed her.� �I think I could have,� Trump said. How about singer Mariah Carey? �Would you bang her?� Stern asked. Trump replied, �I would do it without hesitation.� Trump�s crude talk on-air with Stern between 1990 and 2005 was part of an image the businessman cultivated as a Manhattan playboy who had so many women that he barely had time to sleep. He was often seen at trendy nightclubs with different women, appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine, wrote in his books about all the women chasing him and publicly boasted about his sex life.
According to excerpts from Lewandowski's new book �Let Trump Be Trump� Trump was prone to yelling at aides and campaign officials on a daily basis, but became particularly angry at campaign manager Paul Manafort when he said that Trump should no longer go on TV for interviews:
�Did you say I shouldn�t be on TV on Sunday? I�ll go on TV anytime I g�dam f�ing want and you won�t say another f�ing word about me!� Trump yelled at Manafort, according to Lewandowski.
Appearing at an Christian gathering in Cleveland on July 19th, 2017; GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was put under the protection of God by a bevy of evangelicals after the host of the conference said the New York businessman needed to be protected from a �concentrated Satanic attack.� Those who placed hands on Trump included Kenneth Copeland and Rodney Howard-Browne.
Rodney Howard-Browne was raised in a Pentecostal family as a young boy in South Africa. In 1987 the family immigrated to the United States. According to Christianity Today, Browne's ministry is known for its passion for evangelism and ministries of restoration, accompanied by "signs and wonders" characterized by baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire, physical healings and miracles, with frequent manifestations of and "falling under the power" during his evangelistic services. This gave rise to the term "holy laughter", and "holy ghost bartender", which refer to audience members spontaneously loudly during his services.{???}
Kenneth Copeland is an American author, musician, public speaker, and televangelist associated with the Charismatic Movement. Copeland has been identified with preaching a prosperity and abundance message, commonly referred to as the prosperity gospel, which has been criticized by various denominations; and is worth about 40 million dollars. Televangelist Kenneth Copeland has warned Christians that if they don�t support Donald Trump, they will be punished by God. �If Christians don�t support Trump, they are risking the wrath of God,� said Copeland in an appearance on Trinity Broadcasting Network. �Trump has been chosen by God, and by rejecting him, they are rejecting God. They could be punished with barrenness, poverty or even having a gay child.�{???}
Trump and Putin and China are now by far the *THREE** most Powerful and Evil leaders in the world and have about 90 % of the world's nuclear bombs and would most likely embrace the coming of the evil 666!
By declaring the the USA will now have their embassy in Jerusalem on the 70th Anniversary of Israel on May 14th, 2018, Trump has laid the groundwork for **WORLD WAR** and all 21 Muslim countries declaring war on Israel. Trump has also started a **TRADE WAR** with all the major nations of trhe world which will continually cause more **WORLD CHAOS**!!The bombing of Syria by Trump will no doubt result in a similar respose by Russia and this could possibly bring more **WORLD CHAOS** and the possibility of a **WORLD WAR**!!
And so the **WORLD CHAOS** and **WORLD WAR** just before the Great Tribulation may be **EXTREMELY CLOSE**
Nebuchadnezzar was a very ungodly king. He created an idol and commanded everyone in his kingdom to worship that image or else be burned alive. What king in his right mind would do such a thing? In this regard, he was a symbol of the Antichrist, because he is going to do the same thing, you know. He will create some kind of an "image" and force everyone to bow down and worship that image and wear its logo or banner on his arm or forehead, and whoever refuses will be killed (beheaded). Now, how is Trump similar to such a bloodthirsty evil dictator? I see no similarity whatsoever.
From the beginning, people were accusing Trump of being ruthless or bloodthirsty and proud. They were saying that he is going to blow up the whole world. People were running around scared. But none of that is true. In fact we see just the opposite happening. North Korea is apparently yielding to mounting US pressure, and they are willing to negotiate without a single missile being fired at them! People suggested that Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize, and he said, "Peace is my prize."
Trump hasn't killed anybody. All these people running around scared are scared because Trump is after the criminals. He is deporting illegal aliens and putting criminals behind bars. The law enforcement is doing really great in this country, and they are filling up the prisons with murderers. They are not getting out of there.
President Obama released a lot of very bad people from jail. He pardoned some of the worst criminals. There is no explanation for why he did that. He also paid billions to Iran who are building nuclear weapons to blow up Israel. One time there was an Arab kid who put a clock in a suitcase and showed up to school with that scaring everybody. They first took him out of school, then Obama intervened and invited him to the White House, showing all the world that THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH ASPIRING LITTLE TERRORISTS--you reward them by inviting them to the White House. Trump would never do that. Trump rewards good people and punishes bad people. Obama was just the opposite.
And all the accusations that Trump is proud is really not true. If he were proud, he would not have won the election. I think Trump is bold, and he stands up for himself. When he hears an accusing voice, he is not afraid to punch back. And people see that and call it "pride." But that's not pride. That's a survivalist traid. In politics you will not survive long if you let your accusers have the last word, and Trump knows that.
Zsoltx , I do understand and respect your views and passion in defense of Trump however, sometimes our PASSIONS for people, places, and things can cloudy our views, and can, and do hinder us from spiritually discerning and seeing things that are of a truth and of God clearly... we become TOO CLOSE to the mirror to rightly see what's in front of us and accept the truth of what we're seeing... our passionate view (s) can sometimes get distorted and blurred.
I would rather accept what the word has to say in this compared prophesy regarding Trump's negative behavior and conduct equating Trump to that of Bro. Nebuchadnezzar, than to reject, disregard and deny the truth of what the information has to say... as Trump has, displaced and continues to displace openly the same ungodly characteristics and behavior as Bro. Neb, if you're honest with what you know to be truth, and not allow your PASSION to cloudy the truth of your view.
Looks like this will be as I should have posted SPIRITUALLY COMPARING AND CONTRASTING of these two men's behavior, character, and conduct that affornts GOD and many people. This is PART I, in response to your comment... lol
You stated: "Nebuchadnezzar was a very ungodly king. He created an idol and commanded everyone in his kingdom to worship that image or else be burned alive. What king in his right mind would do such a thing? In this regard, he was a symbol of the Antichrist, because he is going to do the same thing, you know. He will create some kind of an "image" and force everyone to bow down and worship that image and wear its logo or banner on his arm or forehead, and whoever refuses will be killed (beheaded). Now, how is Trump similar to such a bloodthirsty evil dictator? I see no similarity whatsoever."
You say you see no similarity in Bro. Nab's and Trump's behavior, arrogance, ego, haughtiness, and his disdain for truth? Well, I will do my best to point it out for you... Trump is also JUST as UNGODLY MAN just as Nebuchadnezzar... in that, Trump doesn't feel it necessary to repent of his sins, and has stated that he hasn't seen any need to repent of his sins before God... because he's a good person and hasn't done anything bad that calls for repentance of sin. What Trump is really saying is that HE HAS NO SINS BEFORE GOD.. and we KNOW this to be a LIE!
Trump also has stated that He hasn't had a need to come before God for anything, because everything he has, he did it on his own... well, we know all of this to be a LIE as well... and IS UNGODLY AND ANTICHRIST behavior. Bwt, FYI Any thing that is AGAINST GOD IS consider antichrist... Trump believes there is a God, BUT, DOES NOT have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. EVEN THE DEVILS BELIEVES AND SO DID HITLER, AND GAVE A PROMISING SPEECH TO THE PEOPLE ABOUT GOD, DAYS OR WEEKS BEFORE HE HAD ALL THE JEWS SLAUGHTERED... Trump IS NOT
A CHRISTIAN IN HIS HEART... too much outer pride, ego, arrogance, negative behavior, bad language (conversation/communication), his conduct proves this.. God says, we know them, MEANING TRUE GOD-FEARING BELIEVERS BY THEIR FRUIT WHICH MEANS CHARACTER, BEHAVIOR, CONDUCT, AND WHAT THEY SPEAK (CONVERSATIONS) ... SORRY! .. Trump is not a reflection of a true believer in Christ. He knows nothing about Jesus OR what salvation is all about. He depends on the evangelicals who support him to back him up and everyone of them are out of touch with God and our Lord Jesus Christ.. they ALL HAVE A FORM of godliness but they reject the truth of the power of God...
You make mention that Neb was bloodthirsty... what you must understand is that bloodthirst is used interchangeably just a murder is also used in the Bible interchangeably. One doesn't have to physically kill a person to be a murderer. God says, we can kill people with OUR TONGUES... Speaking evil against others, lying on others, bearing a false witness to destroy another person GOD calls THIS MURDER AND WHOEVER DOES SUCH IS A MURDERER.... Trump is just as bloodthirsty as Nebuchadnezzar, Trump IS very VINDICTIVE AND SEEKS REVENGE, PAYBACK AND VENGEANCE on everyone who comes up against him.. anyone he feels has said anything against him even if he is wrong and a person tells him the truth... Is THIS not being bloodthirsty to seek revenge, payback and being vindictive? Sure it is according to GOD!... Trump makes the golden image of himself through the use of his NAME.. every building that Trump MANAGES... HE DOES NOT OWN THESE BUILDINGS OR GOLF COURSES, HE MANAGES THEM.. Trump has HIS NAME PLACED IN BIG BOLD GOLD LETTERING.. what is the difference in what Bro. Neb did having images made of himself place around the world AND Trump having his NAME IN BOLD GOLD LETTERING PLACED ON BUILDINGS AROUND THE WORLD?
Everyone who DOES NOT BOW TO TRUMP AND PROTECT HIM IN ALL HIS LIES... He gets rid of them...Trump demands loyalty only if you hid the truth about himself, and speak in his favor, this he considers loyalty... LIE FOR HIM AND COVER THE TRUTH... I don't think you know much about Trump in the real world even before he became president. He has always been known to cheat contractors and people and when he does you a favor he expects you to do as he request of you to repay him the favor... so is THIS godly and what God requires of us? NO! it is not, and neither is Trump godly... no different than Nebuchadnezzar.
I will continue my response to your comment PART 2... next week
Sambody, I did visit the link you gave and listened to what was in the video... what you and those who support Trump and who deny and overlook the truth about GOD is that... That GOD USES WHOMEVER HE CHOOSES TO FULFILL HIS OWN promises and divine word.
And yes, as it is said, and we KNOW for a fact that, "God often makes one wicked man or nation a SCOURAGE to another" Trump raised himself and axlalted hmself in his business and public life doing things as he so pleased... BUT God says, HE IS THE ONE WHO RAISES ONE UP AND AXLALTS ANOTHER. And we know when a person axalts him/herself and THINKS more highly of him/herself than
Sorry about that, it posted before I had completed my thoughts.

And we know when a person exalt him/herself and THINKS more highly of him/herself than he/she ought, GOD always steps in and brings that person down UNLESS THERE IS HEART FELT REPENTANCE... THAT'S BIBLE!
Trump WAS chosen by God as GOD"S instructment for, and OF punishment just as Nebuchadnezzar was chosen by God and all others God used to show himself powerful and might, who thought THEY were powerful and mighty and had authority over themselves due to their PRIDE, ARROGANCE, AND EGOS. GOD USES EVIL TO ACCOMPLISH GOOD. throughout His word
Even God calls our Bro. Neb. in Jeremiah 43:10, HIS SERVANT... Bro. Neb served the purpose (s) of GOD. "Take some large stones in your hands and hide them in the mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of some of the Jews; and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I am going to send and get Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and I am going to set his throne right over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his canopy over them.He will also come and strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and those for the sword to the sword.�"
GOD APPOINTS EVIL AND CRAZY LEADERS to serve HIS DIVINE PURPOSES and to bring the person (leader), or a people or nation to their knees before HIMSELF.. NOT THE LEADER. Trump IS NOT YOUR SAVIOR OR AMERICA'S SAVIOR! The play out of time and truth will prevail UNLESS TRUMP REPENTS OF HIS SINS AND TURNS FROM HIS WICKED WAYS...
Doesn't matter who or what you believe BUT one thing for sure, GOD IS NOT A LIAR NOR A MAN THAT HE SHOULD HAVE REASONS TO LIE... and the SECOND thing is that WE KNOW TRUMP TO BE A LAIR, A CONMAN AND CRAFTY WITH HIS WORDS, ALL HIS BORN DAYS!
Always remember... NOTHING JUST HAPPENS! God is a GOD OF PURPOSE! But for sure Trump is not a leader to be worshipped and praised as many are doing, which is also in GOD"S DIVINE PLAN so show those who do not discern the truth and/or reject and deny the truth about his UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR, just what will take place when the REAL ANTICHRIST COMES... how many will be fooled, deceived and follow after the Antichrist seduced by his demonic spirit, just because the real antichrist to come will be healing and doing good in their eyesight, MANY PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE THE ANTICHRIST AS BEING OF GOD, just as Paul writes about the antichrist in I & II Thessalonians, he exhorts us to be AWARE OF... and not be deceived because of the offers the antichrist will give, ONLY because we are not spiritually discerning in totality.
Where in God's Word does it say there will be world war and world chaos just before the Great Tribulation?
Matthew 24:3-13: The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?" Jesus answered, "... You will hear of **WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS**, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. **NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION AND
KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM**... All these are the beginning of birth pains... Then {At the beginning of the Great Tribulation} you will be handed over to be
persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. t that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold but those who stand firm to the end will be saved!"
By declaring the the USA will now have their embassy in Jerusalem on the 70th Anniversary of Israel on May 14th, 2018, Trump has laid the groundwork for **WORLD WAR** and all 21 Muslim countries possibly declaring war on Israel.
Trump has also started a **TRADE WAR** with all the major nations of trhe world which will continually cause more **WORLD CHAOS**!!
Iran has flown in 80,000 Iranian troops to Syria near Israel's border. Israel has responded by bombing the Iranian troops 2 times in the last 2 weeks and Iran
has promised to **RETALIATE**!!
Trump eliminated the Atomic Treaty atomic treaty with Iran on May 8th, 2018 and Iran has promised to **RETALIATE**!!
If Israel and Iran go to war Russia and China will side with Iran which will cause the USA to join the war with Israel causing extreme world-wide world War and extreme world-wide **CHAOS** thus setting the stage for the beginning of the Great Tribulation and the coming of 666 from the Abyss or Hell. Many believe that the extremely evil Pope Francis fully qualifies to be the future False Prophet of 666!!
And so the **WORLD CHAOS** and **WORLD WAR** just before the Great Tribulation may be **EXTREMELY CLOSE**
Syrian state media reported on Tuesday night, May 8th, 2018, that Israel conducted an airstrike south of Damascus, reportedly killing nine pro-Iranian fighters in an area previously identified as the site of a suspected Iranian military base.
�Nine fighters belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps or pro-Iranian Shiite militias have been killed� Rami Abd el-Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP.
The alleged strike came hours after the Israeli military said it had identified �abnormal movements of Iranian forces in Syria� and called for local governments in the Golan Heights to open their bomb shelters.
Rahman said the strike targeted an �arms depot elonging to Hezbollah and the Iranians.�
Earlier on Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and imposing new sanctions on the Islamic Republic, in part due to Iran�s destabilizing activities in the Middle East.
The al-Mayadeen news outlet, which is seen as sympathetic to Hezbollah, reported that fires had broken out in the area following the blasts.
Videos from the scene, which were posted on social media, showed the moment of the strike�s impact and its aftermath. Surveillance footage showed a blast of
white light as the bombs hit, followed by what appeared to be secondary explosions, supporting the claim that the targets of the strike were missiles. Cellphone videos also showed trucks burning and fires raging in the direction of
the alleged Iranian base.
On November 2017, Western intelligence officials told the BBC that Iran had established a permanent military base in el-Kiswah.
A month later, the alleged Iranian base was targeted by an airstrike, which was attributed to Israel.
The army on Tuesday night did not instruct residents of the Golan Heights to enter bomb shelters, only for local authorities to open public ones in case of emergency.
A number of reservists were also called up, the army said. An IDF spokesperson would not elaborate on which units they came from, but media reports indicated they served in air defense, intelligence and Home Front Command units.
The Israel Defense Forces said it deployed missile defense batteries in northern Israel and �there is high preparedness of IDF troops for an attack.�
The military called on residents to listen to security instructions as needed.
Following Trump�s announcement, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman met with the heads of Israel�s armed services in the military�s Tel Aviv headquarters to
discuss the security situation, his office said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the US Embassy in Israel also prohibited American government employees from visiting the Golan Heights without approval in light of the security situation on the border.
�The IDF is ready and prepared for a variety of scenarios and warns that any action against Israel will be answered with a fierce retaliation,� the army said.
A video released by the IDF showed soldiers setting up the Iron Dome, Patriot, and Arrow missile defense systems.
The military does not generally reveal its deployment of air defenses. Its decision to do so on Tuesday night was likely an effort to both reassure residents of northern Israel and warn Iran that the IDF was prepared to counter
a missile attack.
On Sunday night, Israeli defense officials warned that Iran was planning to retaliate for two recent deadly airstrikes in Syria, which have been attributed to the Jewish state, by having its proxies fire missiles at military targets in northern Israel sometime in the near future.
Security forces were also preparing for the possibility of attempted infiltrations of military bases and communities in the north, Hadashot TV news reported on Monday.
Tehran vowed revenge after the T-4 army base in Syria was struck in an air raid on April 9, killing at least seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The strike was widely attributed to Israel, though Jerusalem refused to comment on it. (T-4 was the base from which Israel said Iran launched an attack drone into Israel in February.) Late last month, a second strike, allegedly
conducted by Israel, against an Iranian-controlled base in northern Syria was said to have killed more than two dozen Iranian soldiers.
On Monday, Iran�s army chief of staff warned that the regime would respond to any Israeli aggression �at an appropriate time,� as the countries continued to trade threats amid spiraling tensions.
�If the enemy casts a covetous eye on our interests or conducts [even] a slight act of aggression, the Islamic Republic will give an appropriate response at an
appropriate time,� Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri said according to regime-affiliated Press TV.
On Sunday, all of Israel�s nightly news broadcasts reported that the Israeli military and intelligence services had identified preliminary efforts **BY IRAN IN SYRIA TO CARRY OUT ITS REPRISAL**, using its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Hezbollah terrorist group and local Shiite militias to launch a barrage of precision-guided missiles, likely at Israeli military targets in the
north.
�Israel has recently identified with certainty Iranian preparations to fire at the north,� Channel 10 said. "Iran is very determined to carry out an attack� to avenge the T-4 strike and the deaths of its military personnel, it said.
Israel Radio on Sunday night said the Iranian planning for an attack was at �an advanced stage.�
Israel was working to prevent or counter such an attack, but was also preparing for the possibility that the Iranians �succeed in hitting a base in the north with missiles,� Channel 10 reported.
