Shabbat
Shalom!
Anyone following daily intelligence reports from Israel knows that the threat of war is looming once again in the middle East. Many Israeli politicians and IDF top brass are presenting their doomsday scenarios while Israelis instinctively sense that this is the lead-up to another imminent and bloody conflict with Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran. Lines are forming in cities for new Israeli gas masks. Many are finding that there are not enough for everyone in the country.
Makeshift bomb shelters are being hastily built throughout Israel, including underground parking lots. There simply are not enough shelters for every citizen. Unfortunately, many of the shelters that that do exist are neglected and undersupplied.

- The Syrian government is still in full control of its chemical weapons
stockpiles, Israeli defense officials said on Tuesday, in an apparent bid
to calm fears that a non-conventional war could be looming.
Israeli minister says Hezbollah access to arsenal is ""red line"
Syria's 16-month-old conflict has spread concern that the chemical arsenal, acknowledged by Damascus for the first time on Monday, could fall into the hands of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Islamist group allied to Iran and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, or that Assad could use then in a desperate last stand.

✡ Israelis grab gas masks as Iran
attack threat rises
(Bloomberg
News) Israelis crowded in front of a storefront at a Jerusalem shopping
mall this week to pick up new gas masks, part of civil defense preparations
in case the military strikes Iran and the Islamic Republic or its allies
retaliate.
“Our leaders seem to have gotten very hawkish in their speeches, and this time it seems they mean what they say,” said Yoram Lands, 68, a professor of business administration, who was picking up new masks for himself and his wife at a distribution center in the mall.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta this month that time “is running out” for a peaceful solution to Iran’s atomic program.

50 or so parking lots will
serve as a solution for those who don’t have a bomb shelters.
(Jerusalem
Post) In the coming weeks, the Tel Aviv Municipality will release a
list of dozens of underground parking lots that can be used by the public
in the case of a missile attack on the Israeli home front, the municipality
said on Tuesday. According to the city, the estimated 50 or so parking lots
represent around 800,000 square meters of space and will serve as a
solution for those residents who don’t have a bomb shelter in their
house or nearby.
✡ We May Need to
Destroy Parts of Lebanon
(and Gaza) to Stop Rockets
(and Gaza) to Stop Rockets
(Jerusalem
Post) Israel may need to destroy parts of Lebanon and Gaza if Hezbollah
and Hamas rain missiles upon the country in response to an Israeli attack
on Iran, former Mossad head Danny Yatom said Monday. Those rockets,
he said, can "cover all of Israel, and that is the main
problem."
Yatom said that the lesson Israel learned from the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when Hezbollah fired hundreds of rockets on the north, was that "we will have to stop the firing of missiles, both from the north and the south, as quickly as possible." To do this, he said, Israel would have to "act with great force against infrastructure in Lebanon and Gaza, and it is possible that the price that Lebanon and Gaza will pay will be horrible. We are liable to destroy, or likely to destroy, parts of Lebanon, and parts of Gaza, so that our citizens will not suffer and be killed."

✡ Iran can build a Nuclear bomb by October 1
DEBKAfile
At its present rate of enrichment, Iran will have 250 kilograms of
20-percent grade uranium, exactly enough to build its first nuclear bomb,
in roughly six weeks, and two-to-four bombs by early 2013, military and
intelligence sources report. Hence the leak by an unnamed Israeli security
source Sunday, Aug. 12, disclosing Iran’s progress in developing the
detonator and fuses for a nuclear warhead which can be fitted onto Shehab-3
ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel.
Since 20 percent refined uranium is a short jump to weapons grade fuel, Iran will have the capability and materials for building an operational nuclear bomb by approximately October 1.

A call to prayer and
intercession
Now is the time to pray
and intercede for the nation of Israel! We know that the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal but spiritual! We must believe that our prayers
(weapons of warfare) will truly assist Israel during the looming threat of
war in the weeks ahead…
"For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…" 2 Corinthians 10:4
As the birth pangs of this age increase in speed and intensity, we know
we are getting closer to the end and the new beginning of Messiah’s
Kingdom that will be established in Jerusalem. Like our title verse says in
Mark 13:8 ‘these are the beginnings of birth pains..."
More than ever, today is the day, now is the time to rise up from our sleep, cast off the works of darkness and begin to intercede with fervent prayer as His Word teaches us to watch and pray!
You too can be a (IDF) prayer warrior, guarding the borders of Israel with blankets of prayer day and night; as it is written:

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall
neither

slumber nor sleep Psalm 121:4
PRAY THE WORD OF
GOD…
[Elisha] answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them..." And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.' And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha." 2 Kings 6:16-18
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. Psalm 91:5-6
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17"Father, In Yeshua's name, do not allow the enemies of your people accomplish their plans of destruction. May Your will, and Your will alone be done in both Israel and the nations surrounding her…" AMEN!
