Sacrificial altar for 3rd Temple ready......

End-times prophecy watchers are marveling over a news report out of Jerusalem this week that the Altar of the Lord has been reconstructed by the Temple Institute.

The Institute, based in the Old City of Jerusalem, announced it has finished building an altar that is essentially “ready for use” in sacrificial services.

The altar is the most ambitious project to date toward the goal of rebuilding the Jewish Temple. The massive outdoor altar, which took several years to build, can be operational at little more than a moment’s notice, reported the Israeli magazine Matzav Haruach.

The altar is the last major component needed for the long-obstructed sacrifices to resume in a future Jewish temple.

If Damascus falls, Europe won't be far behind......

 "The burden of Damascus.  Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."  Isaiah 19:1

As a new report details the devastation wrought upon Syria by four years of rebellion, a Virginia state senator who once thanked the Syrian government for defending Christians is worried about the fate of Damascus, the Middle East and Europe.

“If Damascus falls, the dreaded black and white flag of ISIS will fly” over Syria, Virginia state Senator Richard Black told RT. “Within a period of months after the fall of Damascus, Jordan will fall and Lebanon will fall,” he said, adding that the self-proclaimed Islamic State would then target Europe next.

Black is no stranger to the Syrian crisis. Last year, he wrote a letter thanking the government in Damascus for a “gallant and effective campaign” to liberate Christian villages on the border with Lebanon. Most Americans are not aware that Christianity started in present-day Syria, he pointed out.

"Iran/ISIS carving up Iraq", NYT - its all in Bible Prophecy

The New York Times Says “We’re letting Iran and ISIS carve up Iraq”. But The Question Is: Why Doesn’t The Media Acknowledge This Was All Predicted In The Bible?

 

By Walid Shoebat
I wonder at times, will the media ever admit that when it comes to the Middle East, will they ever acknowledge that their headlines many times has already been etched in the Bible? “We’re letting Iran and ISIS carve up Iraq” is a New York Times piece written by Amir Taheri, a capable writer I once spoke to by phone during a shared interview while the Turkish elections was happening in which he was hopeful predicting that Erdogan’s opposition in Turkey would win, in which I said “in your wildest dreams”.

Erdogan won and not the opposition.

But the reason I was correct had nothing to do with my study of the news and had more to do with my study of the Bible, which it was easy to deduce that Islamists will control Turkey and that Iran will gulp up Iraq. Now Taheri, who is an Iranian hopeful, hopes to see Iran come out of Islamism, he correctly deduced that Iran is carving up Iraq: “The bad news” Taheri says is that “Iran is the biggest winner in the Tikrit fight — and IS is gaining elsewhere. The two are dancing toward a de facto partition of Iraq between them.” I would adjust Taheri’s remarks that Iran will gulp up the whole of Iraq while Turkey will gulp up the whole of ISIS, to later carve up Syria, Egypt, Libya, Sudan and Somalia (read Daniel 11) into the fold of the Ottomans.

Years ago we gave this biblically prophetic analysis and stated that Iraq will be devoured by Iran:

Iran's 'bridge' to Central Asia?

 President Hassan Rouhani’s recent trip to Turkmenistan cannot be dismissed as a one-off. Since coming to office in August 2013, the Rouhani administration has prioritized relations with the Muslim states of the former Soviet Union. Given the potential for economic ties and trade, Tehran’s aspirations are fully understandable.

 Meanwhile, the Central Asian states are largely receptive. But for this latest momentum to gain enduring traction, Tehran has to be smart about its appeal to the Central Asians. For them, Iran is a very familiar civilization and a much-needed bridge to world markets. On the other hand, any attempt by Tehran to interject its Islamist ideology into relations will very likely give the famously cautious secular Central Asian governments reasons to once again pull away.

 The five Central Asian states are all Muslim-majority countries but ruled by staunchly secular governments. To be fair to Tehran, the Islamic Republic has since 1991 never sought to forcefully push an Islamist agenda in its dealings with its northern neighbors. From a Central Asian perspective, for relations to become closer, it is imperative that Iran keeps it that way.
