How the Syrian Crisis Will End
From: www.thetrumpet.com
In April, Germany
joined the United States, Saudi Arabia and several other Gulf states at a
gathering in Turkey to discuss options for dealing with Syria’s revolution.
Here is the
critical thing to realize: One of Germany’s primary objectives in this region
is to develop an axis with Middle Eastern states that oppose Iran. Germany has
been stepping up its political involvement and its financial and military
investment in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
It has formed solid trade relationships with virtually all these countries,
covering many industries from telecommunications to the military.
For Germany,
Syria’s revolution isn’t about a humanitarian crisis at all. It’s about
geopolitics and how Berlin can aggressively advance its strategic interests in
the Middle East!
Biblical prophecy
reveals that, very soon, Syria will no longer align with Iran. It also
shows that Germany will help cause this split.

A Prophesied
Alliance
Psalm 83
discusses a multi-nation Middle Eastern confederation that will ally with
Germany. This alliance has never happened in history. All of the Bible
commentaries will tell you that. But it is happening now. It takes time to
build a confederation like that, and it is now well underway.
Immediately
before that prophecy in
Psalm 83 comes to complete fulfillment, another prophecy will take place. It is
found in Daniel 11:40: “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south
push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind,
with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into
the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.”
This prophecy
involves the same geography: The context shows you that it occurs right in the
Middle East and involves some of the same countries. The “king of the north” is
Germany, and the “king of the south” is Iran. Right now, Iran is filling the
news with its aggressive support for terrorism and nuclear development, and it
appears unstoppable. But Daniel here describes where these current tensions are
leading: Germany will utterly wipe Iran out.
Daniel 11:40 will
unfold just before Psalm 83 is totally fulfilled. Germany and Iran will
ignite a spectacular military clash. The German superpower will crush the “king
of the south.” Then the Arab nations listed in Psalm 83 will ally with Germany.
Daniel 11 shows
that the warring does not stop there. Verse 44 talks about “tidings out of the
east.” That refers to Russia and China entering into the fray, expanding
this world war.
Crafty Counsel
Read the prophecy
in Psalm 83: “Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted against thy hidden ones” (verses 1-3).
This foretells of
an alliance that will take crafty counsel against God’s people, which is
referring to Israel. These verses are talking about the modern
descendants of the 12 tribes of biblical Israel. Do you know who those are?
The modern Jewish state of Israel is only one of those tribes—Judah.
In biblical
prophecy, “Israel” refers especially to the birthright nations that
descended from Joseph: Ephraim and Manasseh. Those descendants are Britain and
the United States. Other prophecies show that the fates of these three major
nations of Israel—the U.S., Britain, and the Jewish nation—are all aligned.
Where Psalm 83 says this alliance is “against thy people,”it means
Germany and its Middle Eastern allies are targeting the Americans, the British
and the Jews in the Middle East.
But notice: There
is also a plot against God’s “hidden ones,” which other translations render as treasured
or sheltered ones. This refers to God’s faithful people, spiritual
Israel. They are embedded right in the midst of all these prophecies to
ensure God has somebody He can use to reveal to the world His message
about what is happening!
The evil purpose
of this alliance is revealed in verse 4: “They have said, Come, and let us
cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in
remembrance.”
The president of
Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has publicly stated that Iran wants to wipe Israel
off the map. What is revealed in Psalm 83 is an even more diabolical plot by a
different alliance: They want to obliterate even the name of
Israel—forever!
“For they have
consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee,” the
prophecy continues. Then it lists which peoples comprise the alliance:
“The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”
You must know who
the modern descendants of these peoples are in order to understand just how
timely and relevant this prophecy is: “Edom” is Turkey; “the Ishmaelites” are
Saudi Arabia; “Moab” and “Ammon” both refer to Jordan; “Gebal” is Lebanon. The
Hagarenes anciently dwelt in the land known today as Syria.
The only one
listed here that lies outside the region is “Assur,” which is Germany. Germany
is the power behind this alliance! In principle, this is how Germany started
World War i and World War ii. It is using the same old modus operandi.
Dramatic
Changes Ahead
This prophecy in
Psalm 83 reveals a tremendous amount about what we can expect to see in the
time ahead—including some dramatic changes!
Gebal, modern-day
Lebanon, is home today to the Iranian terrorist puppet Hezbollah. We can expect
it to also switch allegiance!
Even now Germany
has naval ships just off the coast of Lebanon. Why should it be so concerned
about what’s happening in that part of the world? It is all part of Germany’s
global strategy.
This prophecy
also reveals that the Philistines are with the inhabitants of Tyre. Their
alliance with Iran is about to be broken, and Germany will be the main cause.
The
Philistines—or the Palestinians of Gaza and even those in the West Bank—are
going to shift their alliance to Germany as well.
Iran has recently
led Hezbollah and the Palestinians in their terrorist activities. They all
share some common enemies—especially America and Israel. But they have some
different views in religion and politics, which could cause Hezbollah and the
Palestinians to ally themselves with Germany.
Also, there may
soon be some significant power shifts in Lebanon and Gaza.
Edom, or Esau, is
Turkey. Turkey has also been allied with Iran, but it too is going to side with
Germany in the future! Why? Because it disagrees with what Iran is doing in
Syria! While Iran supports the Assad regime, Turkey supports the rebels.
Watch for a
Massive Shift
These verses
foretell a massive shift in alliances among the nations of the Middle East!
Events are about to stagger the imagination of many authorities in this world!
And God prophesied it all thousands of years ago.
Should we believe
in the Old Testament? We should if we want to understand end-time Bible
prophecy. The Psalms is the only book in the Bible that contains this prophecy.
Without Psalm 83, there would be no way to understand these particular events
until well after they had snapped into place.
