Will The United States Stand With The Antichrist Or Israel In The End-Times?
Sometimes in order to have the right answers, we need to be asking the right questions. Here is a good article by Jack Smith that tackles one of the questions that many students of prophecy have asked. Although we don’t always need to necessarily agree in every aspect, we should always feel the need to openly discuss pertinent questions such as this and how it fits in Biblical eschatology …

This post is partly in response to a post made by respected author and brother in Christ, Walid Shoebat. I came across his post as a subscriber to MidnightWatcher’s Blogspot. I posted replies there, but couldn’t seem to stop thinking about the question raised by Brother Shoebat: Where is America in Bible Prophecy? Brother Shoebat’s question was in the context of Revelation 13:7 which prophesies of a “world” dominion by the beast from the sea (interpreted to be Allah and Islam), and whether or not America will come under this “world” dominion. This post addresses a related but different question. Will the United Stand stand with the antichrist or with Israel in the end-times?
The relationship between America and Israel is quite relevant to our modern times. Rarely a day goes by that the news is not filled with news of Israel or her neighbors. Also, with America in the throes of the election of a new president, the answer to this specific question can even give us a hint as to who the next president might be — Obama or Romney? Publicly, both Obama and Romney have the similar positions on Israel — that is, they fully support Israel (although Romney’s position grants Israel greater sovereignty in decisions regarding its borders). Nevertheless, in the “back-halls” of Obama’s White House, I really wonder what is said outside the public eye. Recently, Obama and French president Nicolas Sarkozy were caught in an unmuted mic conversation about Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “the French leader told Barack Obama: ‘Netanyahu, I can’t stand him. He’s a liar.’ To make matters worse, the U.S. President replied: ‘You are sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day.’ Read more…
Peru: Government Still Mystified As Hundreds Of Dead Dolphins, Seabirds Continue To Be Found Along Coastline
By DAVID JOLLY and ANDREA ZARATE – “Late last year, fishermen began finding dead dolphins, hundreds of them, washed up on Peru’s northern coast. Now, seabirds have begun dying, too, and the government has yet to conclusively pinpoint a cause.
Officials insist that the two die-offs are unrelated. The dolphins are succumbing to a virus, they suggest, and the seabirds are dying of starvation because anchovies are in short supply.
But even three months after officials began testing the dolphins, the government has not released definitive results, and there is growing suspicion among the public and scientists that there might be more to the story. Some argue that offshore oil exploration could be disturbing wildlife, for example, and others fear that biotoxins or pesticides might be working their way up the food chain.
At least 877 dolphins and more than 1,500 birds, most of them brown pelicans and boobies, have died since the government began tracking the deaths in February, the Environment Ministry said last week. The dolphins, many of which appeared to have decomposed in the ocean before washing ashore, were found in the Piura and Lambayeque regions, not far from the border with Ecuador.
The seabirds, which seem mostly to have died onshore, have been found from Lambayeque to Lima. ‘Never in my 40 years as a fisherman have I seen anything like this,’ said Francisco Ñiquen Rentería, the president of the Association of Artisanal Fishermen in Puerto Eten, in the Lambayeque region. ‘Sometimes in the past, you’d randomly see a dead dolphin or a pelican, but this, what’s happening now, is really alarming.'” Read more.
Japan Physician: Radiation Levels Are 4000% Higher Than Reported By The Japanese Government, Radiation Already Causing Health Problems Around Tokyo
Footage of the NYC Press Conference May 4th 2012 – “Dr. Junro FUSE, Internist and head of Kosugi Medical Clinic near Tokyo, Japan (in Japanese with English interpretation) ‘According to the numbers released by [Japan Gov’t] the amounts in a town called Nihonmatsu… are 300,000 becquerels per square meter. Never the less this has not designated as evacuation site. The current measurements of the soil there are showing 12 mega [million] becquerels per square meter. But what’s happening is the people are just carrying out their lives as normal. This is one piece of evidence showing how the government is under-measuring the radiation. This fact has not been reported by the Japanese mass media.” Read more.

Canada: Police Investigate Toronto Islamic School For Teaching Intolerance And Hatred Of Jews
If the police have to wait until someone complains before “doing” anything about it, then they’re not doing anything at all …
Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

By Terry Davidson, QMI Agency – “TORONTO – Police are investigating an east-Toronto Islamic school following a complaint it had been teaching its young students that Jews are ‘treacherous’ and comparable to Nazis.
The East End Madrassah (EEM), a Sunday school for Muslim children that rents space from an east-end public school to teach its courses, had by early Monday removed from its website the controversial Lesson 8 of its curriculum.
The a 160-page tutorial referred to Jews as ‘treacherous’ and ‘crafty,’ compared them to Nazis, and alleged they plotted to kill the Prophet Muhammad.
‘We do have a complaint we are investigating,’ said York Regional Police spokesman Rebecca Boyd.
The EEM is a subsidiary of the Thornhill-based Islamic Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat of Toronto and has a permit from the Toronto District School Board to teach its lessons on Sundays out of David and Mary Thompson Collegiate Institute.
Under Canada’s Criminal Code, it is against the law to publicly and ‘willfully’ promote hatred against any identifiable group.
David Spiro, co-chair of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs Greater Toronto, said such teachings are against ‘Canadian values’ of tolerance and cultural bridge building.
‘It was clearly hatred, and that hate was directed toward the Jewish community,’ insisted Spiro.
Spiro also took aim at the TDSB, saying such teachings should not take place within its facilities, and that the publicly-funded school board should more carefully scrutinize the groups it rents space to.” Read more.

It is exporting terrorism through textbooks. Christians are referred to as ‘swine’ and Jews as ‘apes,’ while being blamed for much of the world’s ills.” Read more.
Mursi, Mursi Me: Egyptian Cleric Declares Jerusalem Will Be Liberated By Muslim Brotherhood Candidate, Will Become The Capital Of The Islamic Caliphate
Zechariah 12:3a, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces …”
Cleric Safwat Higazi: “We can see how the dream of the Islamic Caliphate is being realized, Allah willing, by Dr. Muhammad Mursi, and his brothers, and his supporters, and his political party. We can see how the great dream, shared by us all – that of the United States of the Arabs… the United States of the Arabs will be restored, Allah willing … by this man and his supporters. The capital of the Caliphate – the capital of the United States of the Arabs – will be Jerusalem, Allah willing … Our capital shall not be Cairo, Mecca, or Medina. It shall be Jerusalem … Our cry shall be ‘Million of martyrs march toward Jerusalem.’ [Singing, ‘Banish the sleep from the eyes of all Jews. Come on, you lovers of martyrdom, you are all Hamas …]”
Scientists: Drug-Defying Germs From India Are ‘Spreading Faster, Further And In More Alarming Ways Than Any They’ve Encountered’
By Jason Gale and Adi Narayan, Bloomberg – “Lill-Karin Skaret, a 67-year-old grandmother from Namsos, Norway, was traveling to a lakeside vacation villa near India’s port city of Kochi in March 2010 when her car collided with a truck. She was rushed to the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, her right leg broken and her artificial hip so damaged that replacing it required 12 hours of surgery.
Three weeks later and walking with the aid of crutches, Skaret was relieved to be home. Then her doctor gave her upsetting news. Mutant germs that most antibiotics can’t kill had entered her bladder, probably from a contaminated hospital catheter in India. She risked a life-threatening infection if the bacteria invaded her bloodstream — a waiting game over which she had limited control, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its June issue.
‘I got a call from my doctor who told me they found this bug in me and I had to take precautions,’ Skaret remembers. ‘I was very afraid.’
Skaret was lucky. Eventually, her body rid itself of the bacteria, and she escaped harm from a new type of superbug that scientists warn is spreading faster, further and in more alarming ways than any they’ve encountered. Researchers say the epicenter is India, where drugs created to fight disease have taken a perverse turn by making many ailments harder to treat.
India’s $12.4 billion pharmaceutical industry manufactures almost a third of the world’s antibiotics, and people use them so liberally that relatively benign and beneficial bacteria are becoming drug immune in a pool of resistance that thwarts even high-powered antibiotics, the so-called remedies of last resort.” Read more.
Massachusetts: Hundreds Of Dead Fish Found Floating In Heritage Park Pond, Biologist Sent To Examine Fish Kill
By Heidi Voight, WWLP.com – “EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – Families visiting East Longmeadow’s Heritage Park Sunday were shocked by the sight and smell of dead fish.
Upset viewers alerted 22News using our Report It feature, so we sent a crew to investigate. We found hundreds of what appear to be sunfish floating on the surface of the water and lining the shores.
One local fisherman told 22News he noticed the fish stopped biting after a kid’s fishing derby a couple weeks ago. ‘I thought maybe the water’s been polluted, or even maybe the kids just took the hooks off and damaged the fish and just threw them back in, could be any reason for it,’ Tony Calvanese.
‘I wouldn’t let my kids be around this area after seeing that. I think it’s disgusting and I think it’s unsanitary,’ said Lina of Springfield.” Read more.
US Officials: CIA Thwarts Al Qaeda Underwear Bomb Plot On Anniversary Of Bin Laden’s Death
Maybe NOW the war on terror is officially over …
Associated Press – “The CIA thwarted an ambitious plot by Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using a bomb with a sophisticated new design around the one-year anniversary of the killing of Usama bin Laden, The Associated Press has learned.
The plot involved an upgrade of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard a jetliner over Detroit on Christmas 2009. This new bomb was also designed to be used in a passenger’s underwear, but this time Al Qaeda developed a more refined detonation system, U.S. officials said.
The FBI is examining the latest bomb to see whether it could have passed through airport security and brought down an airplane, officials said. They said the device did not contain metal, meaning it probably could have passed through an airport metal detector. But it was not clear whether new body scanners used in many airports would have detected it.
The would-be suicide bomber, based in Yemen, had not yet picked a target or bought his plane tickets when the CIA stepped in and seized the bomb, officials said. It’s not immediately clear what happened to the alleged bomber.
The operation unfolded even as the White House and Department of Homeland Security assured the American public that they knew of no Al Qaeda plots against the U.S. around the anniversary of bin Laden’s death. The AP learned about the thwarted plot last week but agreed to White House and CIA requests not to publish it immediately because the sensitive intelligence operation was still under way. Once those concerns were allayed, the AP decided to disclose the plot Monday despite requests from the Obama administration to wait for an official announcement Tuesday.” Read more.
Denmark: Four Tourists Wandering Into An Apparent Muslim ‘No-Go Zone’ Are Viciously Attacked By Muslims For Visiting ‘Their Area’

Translated by Nicolai Sennels, via Jihad Watch – “A man in his twenties was stabbed three times in the stomach with a knife when he and three female friends were assaulted on Nørrebro in Copenhagen.
‘He was stabbed once in the right side and twice on the left side,’ says Frank Blem-Nielsen from the Copenhagen Police to bt.dk.
The victim has undergone surgery at the hospital, but is reported now out of danger.
The four tourists from different places in Denmark – three men and one woman, all in their early twenties – visited Copenhagen in connection with a music concert. In their search for the center of Copenhagen, they strayed into Nørrebro. As they crossed the People’s Park, the car was surrounded by a group of immigrants.
‘They were pulled out of their car by a group of 10-12 men. One (the man) was stabbed with a knife in the stomach. The others (the three women) were beaten with fists, but have not sustained serious injuries,’ says Frank Blem-Nielsen.
People’s Park is home to Blågårds gang who see it as their area.” Read more (Danish).

The Muslims — all members of criminal street gangs that have taken over large parts of Danish towns and cities — were wearing masks and bullet-proof vests and throwing rocks and bottles as they tried to force their way into the district courthouse in Glostrup, a heavily Islamized suburb of Copenhagen, on March 6. Police used batons and pepper spray to fend off the gang members, who were armed with an arsenal of 20 different types of weapons …” Read more.

Many of the ‘no-go’ zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.” Read more.
Indonesia: Islamic Extremists Force Authorities To Close Three Christian Churches In Aceh Province
By Mathias Hariyadi, AsiaNews.it – “Jakarta (AsiaNews) – The ongoing protests by a Muslim extremist fringe has led to the closure of three Christian places of worship in the province of Aceh, the only province in Indonesia where Shariah (Islamic law) is enacted. According to the radical movement the churches were illegal and they have demanded – under threat – the intervention of the authorities. The local administration used the pretext of an alleged lack of building permits, to seal up the buildings. One of the three is a small – historical – Catholic chapel, open for almost 40 years and full of faithful during celebrations. Although an overwhelmingly Muslim area, the province of Aceh has always been characterized by a ‘spirit of tolerance’ and this is the ‘first case’ of an intervention by authorities against places of worship of the Christian minority.
The authorities closed the three Christian buildings in Aceh last May: the Catholic Church in Napagaluh, Singkil, a sub-district of Paris Danau, the Protestant Gereja Kristen Pakpak Dairi, and also the Napagaluh Catholic Church of St. Paul, in the village of Lae Balno. A Singkil district official explains that, according to law, they are all without a building permit (IMB, Izin Mendirikan Bangunan).
The Napagaluh Catholic church, in fact, is a ‘small, historic’ prayer chapel – undung-undung in the local language – which opened in 1974 and is attended by dozens of faithful each week for the liturgies. In 38 years there were never any incidents, protests or tensions with local residents, who are overwhelmingly Muslim.
The closure is the result of a long series of protests promoted in recent times, by Islamic extremist movements in the area. Among these the Singkil Muslim Forum, which denounces the “proliferation” of Christian churches in the region.” Read more.
Israel And America ‘Will Soon Be Defeated’: Iran Turning US Mosques Into Command Centers

By Reza Kahlili – “The Revolutionary Guards and its Quds Forces, which run Iran’s terror networks worldwide, have created two special units to undermine the regimes in the Persian Gulf and push America out of the region.
The Guards are using Imam Ali mosques around the globe, including some in the U.S., as terror command centers.
Unit 110 and Unit of Madinah – named after the second holiest city in Islam, the burial place of the Prophet Mohammad – were established to remove the U.S from the Gulf, sources report.
Unit 110 gathers intelligence while Unit of Madinah is in charge of military operations. Both are stationed in the city of Shiraz in Fars Province, under the command of Gholam Hossein Gheib Parvar, according to sources.
Parvar, one of the regime’s most radical military commanders, is in charge of all Guard forces.
According to a former intelligence officer who served in that specific region, their orders are twofold: Incite uprisings within the Shiite minorities in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and other countries in the region, and prepare for military operations against those countries’ governmental facilities.
Bahrain’s monarchy faces daily protests and occasional terrorist attacks against its police forces and facilities. Protests are also taking place in Saudi Arabia within the minority Shiite population. Yemen is battling al-Qaida forces in addition to government protesters.
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are key Gulf allies of the United States. Bahrain hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, and Saudi Arabia can help stabilize oil markets should a conflict develop with Iran.
The Guards’ intelligence office also runs operations out of mosques and Islamic centers around the world, according to sources. It finances the facilities, guides assets, recruits Muslims for reconnaissance of potential targets in host countries and forms alliances with Read more…
Seeking ‘To Communicate The Message Of Islam’: Another Islamic ‘Charity’ Caught Promoting Extremism And Terror
If one of your main goals was to communicate the message of Islam to society, you’ve done a great job, ICNA …
IPT News – “The charitable wing of a major American Muslim organization is promoting donations to extremist causes, undercutting a nationwide campaign to improve its image. The website link from the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Relief division hints at deeper connections to extremism and terror, both by the charitable branch and by its parent organization.
ICNA’s self-proclaimed goal is ‘to communicate the message of Islam to the society at large’ and ‘also to initiate change in the social and political spheres [of American society] in light of the principles of the noble Qur’an,’ according to the group’s 2020 Vision program.
‘The future of Dawah [proselytizing] in this society is directly linked with the ability of ICNA’s membership to communicate the message of Islam to the society at large,’ it explains. Over time, the group encourages ‘moving to the next level of Dawah, aimed towards the movers and shakers of the society.’
As that program outlines, that goal means more engagement with non-Muslims to promote Islam. ICNA is in the midst of a pro-Sharia campaign, which explains that Islamic law isn’t something threatening to American society or order.
A long history of extremism stands in the way. ICNA’s magazine, conferences, and ideology have promoted violent jihad and supremacy rhetoric for decades, and continue to emphasize Islam as a civilization alternative to secular society.
The group’s 2010 Member’s Hand Book illustrated how further acceptance of Islam would lead to an Islamic state in America and then to a global Caliphate. ‘With this work of propagation of Islam, social reform, and the truth is introduced to a large part of the society. A good part of the society’s thinking individuals join the movement. Then it may move to establish an Islamic society, obedient to Allah’s commands,’ the hand book states.
To change beliefs about Islam and to further ICNA’s role in promoting it, the 2020 plan emphasizes social justice and charity issues. But the discovery of more extremist content on ICNA Relief’s website shows that although the group has initiated a new public image, an ideology of extremism prevails just under the surface.” Read more.
