Israel Today:  The Israeli army was busy readying itself this week for a pan-Arab assault on Israel's borders scheduled for Sunday.  Two weeks ago, Arabs from Lebanon, Syria and Gaza marched on Israel's borders in an effort to infiltrate the Jewish state en masse.  They were marking Nakba Day - the day of catastrophe when Israel was born as a nation-state.  The Nakba Day demonstrations saw at least 100 Syrians cross into the Golan Heights, where many clashed with Israeli soldiers.  The upcoming demonstration will mark "Naksa Day," the day of the setback, the anniversary of the start of the Six Day War in 1967.  Demonstrations are planned for Sunday and Tuesday.  Sunday, which is the actual anniversary of the war, is expected to see the largest confrontations.  Israeli forces are determined that there will be no border breaches this time, and that the Arabs will not score a public relations victory by baiting the IDF into killing demonstrators.  Israeli soldiers have been ordered to first shout for the demonstrators to halt if they approach the border.  If the demonstrators continue to advance, the Israelis will fire warning shots in the air.  If that doesn't work, the soldiers are authorized to direct nonlethal fire at the demonstrators' lower extremities. Reports out of Lebanon suggest that some 100,000 may participate in Sunday's march; but the Lebanese army has also suggested it will not allow any of them to reach the border.  

My Comments:  Glenn Beck is correct in his assessment of the fact that the Arabs are "setting up" Israel.  The Arabs plan such events in order to report negative news publications against Israelis.  They seek to gain the world's sympathy and, bottom line, their support against Israel.  These Arabs are violent and have no right to cross Israel's borders for any reason.  Many of these are militants, ready to attack Israelis for their own unjustifiable religious purposes.  Jesus said His coming would be near when these events take place, "When you see Jerusalem compassed with armies, know that the 'desolation' is near" Luke 21:20.  The Bible tells us that before the return of Christ, Jerusalem will be compassed with armies and there will be war and desolation (Daniel 8:13 and Ezekiel 38) and the earth will be "shaken."  In this passage, Ezekiel 38:20, I don't believe the Lord is referring to an actual earthquake as He says, "the fishes of the sea and the fouls of the heaven and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth and all men that are on the face of the earth shall shake at my presence..."  In fact, even before the appearing of the Lord, I believe we are seeing a prelude to this by the massive deaths of birds and fish, as well as other catastrophes that are currently "shaking" the earth.  We are nearing the end of the age and the return of the Lord, and one of the telling signs is what we are seeing right now in the Middle East; this is the center of last days prophecies.  It is time to pray and get ready for the coming of the Lord.  If you aren't ready, I invite you to visit the "How Can I Be Saved" page of this website.
