Is this the Start of Something Bigger?

As we watch Israel go back into Gaza, we also watch the Muslim world start to boil. Let's remember that being ruled over by Jews is a HUGE conflict in the muslim religion since allah promised the opposite. For muslims to see Palestinian-Arabs being decimated by Jews is way more than they can bear.

Let's remember though that last night a Sunni women in Bagdad blew herself up and killed dozens of Shiite muslims. That isn't met with the same outrage...in fact I don't see any of the world boiling about that incident. Where are the protestors in North Minneapolis and around the world to stop the muslim violence? There aren't any. But as soon as Jews kill a few Arabs in self defense, after three years of provocation....the world has a cow.

So is this the start of something bigger? Could this expand into a regional war? Let's remember that Hezbollah is right on Israel's border to the north and have reportedly re-armed to four times their missile strength of the 2006 war with Israel. Also remember that Iran is still cooking nuclear bombs and threatening Israel's permanent destruction, and Syria is said to have some very large missiles posted just beyond the Golan heights pointed straight at Israel. If the satanic horde decides to make a run at Israel...we could be on the cusp of some major prophesies being fulfilled.

David Dolan is a best selling author and has lived in Jerusalem for decades. In an email recieved today, he asked the same questions;

"As the conflict enters a new phase and its second week, I am being asked by friends and acquaintances where I think the fighting is heading. I can only assume that unless Hamas leaders have entirely lost their minds (and they ARE sincerely dedicated to their Islamic-conviction that a Jewish state on land once ruled exclusively by Muslims is a hideous contradiction of their faith) then they had some important strategic reason for firing around 200 rockets into Israeli civilian centers in the days after they ended the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire with Israel on December 19. After all, they must have understood that Israeli government leaders, facing new national elections in February, would have little choice but to respond to such unprovoked attacks on their cities and towns in a significant military fashion."

"This begs the question—who might be pushing Hamas to force Israel into a major ground conflict that the radical group says will prove to be a “graveyard” for Israeli soldiers, and could easily spiral into a larger regional conflict? I can only point to Iran, which although a Shiite, non-Arab Middle East country, has become the main external backer of Hamas, along with its surrogate Lebanese Hizbullah militia force, also backed by Iran’s main Arab ally, Syria."

"Along with some other analysts, I strongly suspect that Iran is attempting to get the Israeli military preoccupied and bloodied with a major conflict involving Hamas and possibly Hizbullah, if not Syria, in order to deflect a very possible Israeli Air Force operation against their internationally condemned nuclear program sometime later this year. If so, we could be witnessing the opening stages of the first major Israeli-Muslim wintertime war."

Please continue to pray for all the moderate arabs who are caught in the crossfire, pray for Israel as they fight on the frontlines of the satanic-horde, pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for the soon return of our King.
