A balanced view from Jerry Golden:
…here are a few facts that you might be interested in knowing?. What brought my attention to this is the smoke screen being presented to us here in Israel and around the world regarding the 9 ships presently trying to break through the Gaza sea blockade. They say they are bringing humanitarian aid to the poor Gazans. But the truth is that these poor Gazans are not hurting for want of humanitarian resources. Israel allows several thousand trucks with such aid into the Gaza strip every day. The smuggling tunnels from Egypt have turned into a huge business which has flooded the markets with everything you can think of, including American products we can’t even find here in Israel! Not to mention the constant build-up of weapons coming through 100 or more of these tunnels in preparation for the next war against us!

Islam vs the Bible
God’s Final Warning to Islam
(The Destruction of Damascus and the End of Islam)
In the mid-1990s, I began to engage the Muslims on line. This resulted in thousands of hours of interaction with them including debating their internet apologists. I learned REAL Islam from direct interaction with them. I also studied the Koran and more importantly Islam’s secondary books called the Hadiths. The Hadiths are a series of five books that record the oral sayings of Muhammad. The were written down between 250 to 350 years after Muhammad. Originally there were an estimated 800,000 sayings, but now it has been edited down to around 25,000. I have read most of them, and all I can say is “wild.” Maybe someday I’ll post the “wild” Hadiths to show what Muslims really believe.
The Koran is not really the sole basis for Muslim’s faith, but much of what they believe is found in the Hadiths and not in the Koran. Muslims refuse to admit this unless you have the knowledge to confront them. For example, Muslims pray five times a day. The directive to do this is not found in the Koran but in the Hadiths. The Koran says nothing about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus, but it is found in the Hadiths. The idea of the Mahdi is found in the Hadiths while the Koran is silent.
There is one teaching from the Hadiths that I want you to be aware of. It has to do with the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus. There is a huge conflict between the Bible and Islam about the location of the Lord Jesus’ Second Coming. I have used this conflict to lay down a challenge to the Muslims about the authority of the Bible.
I believe the time is drawing near for the fulfillment of the conflict, so I want you to know of it and any Muslim who might be reading this. If you know a Muslim, please share this with him.
The Conflict
Muslims believe, as taught in the Hadiths, that the Lord Jesus is going to return first to Damascus. When He returns from heaven, it will be first to Damascus and not Jerusalem as taught in the Bible. This is found in Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 7015 When reading this, understand that the Dajjal would be the antichrist of the Bible.
“…and it would at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damscus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (Dajjal) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him …”
The Bible is very clear, that just prior to the glorious Second Coming of the Lord Jesus, the city of Damascus is going to be totally destroyed during a war with Israel. It will be turned into a ruinous heap. The destruction of Damascus is a key sign that the Day of the LORD is very near!
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
When studying Isaiah chapter 17, it starts with the destruction of Damascus and ends with the battle of Armageddon, which includes the Second Coming of the Lord. This is why the destruction of Damascus is a key indicator that the Day of the LORD is at hand. This war lights the fuse directly to Armageddon and Christ’s Second Coming.
Isaiah 17:12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! (13) The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. (14) And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
I have used this conflict to challenge Muslims. When they see Damascus destroyed, I told them to throw away their Korans, and turn to the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Islam is not going to survive this confrontation with the God of Israel.
I was thinking about Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 35 which are both about the destruction of Edom. Damascus is going to be destroyed at the same time of the war found in these two chapters. The destruction of Edom and Damascus coincide! Both of these chapters end with scriptures about knowing and turning to the LORD. In Isaiah 17, the destruction of Damascus results in many Syrians turning to the Holy God of Israel! The destruction of Damascus marks the beginning of the end of Islam.
Isaiah 17:3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
Psalm 83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. (17) Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: (18) That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Ezekiel 35:15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
If the Muslims know this prophecy in the Hadith about the Second Coming, and Damascus is then obliterated, this could be one of the main reasons why Muslims turn from Islam to the God of Israel. They will see the Bible is the word of God: the final authority and not Islam.
I believe with the current behavior of Syria toward Israel that the test is soon going to take place. Islam is about to feel the full authority of God’s covenant with Israel as found in the Bible. The destruction of Damascus would be tangible proof to Muslims of the authority of the Bible over Islam!
If Damascus is destroyed in this coming war, it will give Christians the tool necessary to challenge Muslims about the Bible being the word of God and the Lord Jesus as the only begotten Son of God. I can really see this event as the trigger that begins the breaking of Islam!

Commentary
Flotilla Boat from Turkey
It appears the all out war in the Middle East is right on brink. The Hamas flotilla to Gaza ended in bloodshed. I have no doubt this was planned to create a confrontation with Israel and then stir the world against Israel. It is possible this might cause a general uprising by the Palestinians against Israel. With tensions at such high levels, how can this last much longer? Any event, even something small, from now forward, can start this war. This event was really led by Turkey. This nation a year ago was an ally of Israel’s, but today it has turned into one of Israel’s enemies. Islamic fundamentalists took over Turkey’s government and overnight it became vicious against Israel. I can sense the entire world is now unifying against Israel. America has become part of this unifying against Israel. Has the fuse been lit to Armageddon?
The world is about to see the feel the power of the Holy God of Israel ,as He moves to defend the everlasting covenant He made with the Jewish people. Make sure you are on the side of the Holy God of Israel in what is about to cut loose. This simply cannot go on much longer without the war that is going to dramatically change the world and bring about the Bible’s end time events.

As America Has Done to Israel
Obama is undermining Israel’s security by using the UN to get Israel to disarm its nuclear weapons. He is tampering with Israel’s security, and America’s security is now in danger. Remember, whatever America does to Israel happens to America. As the Obama regime goes after Israel, the stock market is melting down and the oil leak gets worse along with possible war with North Korea.
This summer could be one of the worst in US history with the potential for a stock market meltdown, an incredible war with North Korea and the potential for the greatest disaster is US history. If a hurricane enters the Gulf and goes over the oil spill, the potential damage is frightening. The storm surge would drive the oil inland along hundreds of miles of coastline killing everything. It could rain oil miles inland polluting lakes, streams and all fresh water! This can ALL happen if Obama goes after Israel. Added to this June is homosexual month! These disaster could also happen on homosexual events such as Gay Pride Day.
From my 23 years of experience following God warning America with disasters, something is going to happen this summer as too much is coming to a head. These judgments have the potential to start the destruction of America from which there is no recovery.

“In what is measuring up to be the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history, the government is nearly helpless to stop the oil flowing from the Deepwater Horizon well that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20. The White House said Sunday that it expects the spill to grow by 20 percent after BP gets started with its latest effort to contain the spill, beginning Monday or Tuesday. The White House also said it is tripling its environmental cleanup crew.”

Earlier, NATO joined growing international demands for the activists to be released, while the United Nations issued a statement condemning Israel’s actions and demanding a full inquiry.
But Israel is standing by its armed forces, saying they had no choice but to defend their lives against violent attacks from those on board.
Overnight the Israeli military admitted it had made mistakes during the raid, saying some of the commandos had been issued with paintball guns for crowd control duties.
The Israeli military puts the blame for the deaths on the organisers of the aid flotilla, saying its soldiers were attacked by a lynch mob, some of whom were armed with clubs and knives.
One soldier, who was wounded in the fight, spoke to Israeli media.
“There were dozens of people, 95 per cent of them armed with knives and clubs,” he said. “They simply fell on our forces, using all of those things to attack us.”
Mr Netanyahu has defended his forces to the hilt.
“Our soldiers had to defend themselves, defend their lives or they would have been killed,” he said.
“And regrettably in this exchange at least 10 people died. We regret this loss of life.”

This was a Trojan horse from the beginning. Now Turkey is suppose to be on their way with Navy warships! IF Turkey or any other nation cared so much to begin with, why did they not make sure none of these imposters were on board? The nations do not care. Yet, North Korea can get by with anything and no one dares to do a thing about them. But let tiny little Israel just want to exist and the world hates them. This is such a supernatural hate. What else can it be???? Anyway, it is good to know i’m not alone with my views!

It’s obvious that for such highly trained and heavily armed commandos to be overpowered by that mob shows that they were exercising restraint, even to the point of risking their own lives.
