The Psalm 83 Revealing; Coincidence or Providence

By Bill Salus

The summer of 2006 appears to have been a prophetically eventful period. While the Israelis were fending off Hezbollah, the Irish found a forgotten Psalm 83 prophecy buried under some bog soil.


Psalm 83 predicts the formation of a ten member Arab confederacy that someday seeks to wipe Israel off the map. Coincidentally, Hezbollah appears to be listed among the Psalm 83 confederates as the “inhabitants of Tyre”. Tyre is located in Lebanon and has become infiltrated by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

That summer I was 75% completed with my book Isralestine, of which Psalm 83 is the central theme. I had become enamored with the Psalm 83 prophecy after the events of September 11, 2001. My goal was to find out what the Bible had to say about the Arab – Israeli conflict and terrorism, its ugly bi-product. I was seeking to make prophetic sense out of the decades of Mideast chaos coupled with the catastrophic events of September 11th. In the midst of my research I discovered Psalm 83.

Several years later I discovered that the Psalm had surfaced in Ireland at the same time Hezbollah was warring against Israel and I was penning Isralestine. In retrospect it appears that the past, present and future became infused together during that eventful summer. Psalm 83 made front page headlines worldwide at that time. Was God attempting to tell humanity something through these above correlating coincidental events?

Past

July 26, 2006: In what was heralded as the Irish equivalent to the “Dead Sea Scrolls”, numerous notable newspapers reported that Psalm 83 had been discovered in Irish bog soil. Preserved and opened in place, this parchment potentially represents a seedling planted in the past designed to be uncovered at the opportune time. Apparently that was the summer of 2006.

I find it curious that, although there are 150 Psalms, 1189 chapters, and 31,173 verses in the Bible, this one Psalm with a mere 18 passages was discovered preserved and open in place. It simply required a little careful handling and some skilled dusting off in order to read its prophetically timely contents. Other Psalms were found alongside at the time, however, they were severely fragmented and scarcely salvageable.

Analysts were shocked that this ancient parchment buried for over 800 plus years under heavily weathered bog soil was virtually unblemished. Additionally, they were astonished that the manuscript wasn’t destroyed during the time of discovery. This wasn’t a skilled carefully orchestrated archaeological dig, rather a bulldozer trying to clear some landmass.

Present

July 12 - August 14, 2006: Israel and Hezbollah, opponents of each other in the Psalm 83 prophecy, were involved in a 34 day conflict. The Hezbollah-Israeli conflict was a turning point for Israel. Single handily Hezbollah humiliated Israel, something the Arabs failed to do in their 1948, 1967, and 1973 conventionally fought wars against the Jewish State. In so doing, Hezbollah, a terrorist group turned political party, elevated the Palestinian plight and reinvigorated Pan Arab Nationalism in favor of it.

The Palestinians appear to be listed in first position among the ten-member confederacy of Psalm 83. They seem to be identified as the “tents of Edom” in Psalm 83:6. Being identified in a “tents of” condition probably identifies them as the "Palestinian refugees". Biblically, a "tents of" condition often represents an ethnicity dwelling as refugees. Thus, the plight of the Palestinian refugees today is the likely modus operandi of the Arab confederacy. Psalm 83:4 declares the confederacy’s intention to destroy the Jewish State and Psalm 83:12 describes their intent to form a final Arab State called Palestine.

Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group, has emboldened and united Israel’s enemies. Hezbollah’s successes in the summer of 2006 have served to unite predominantly Sunni populations, like Hamas and Syria, with Shiites like, Iran and Hezbollah. Such unifications are additionally beginning to erode longstanding divisions between Persians and Arabs.

Perhaps the Lord is telling eschatologists today to keep a close watch on Hezbollah-centered Mideast events. Hezbollah military actions could easily initiate the Psalm 83 event.

Future

July 26, 2006: As stated above, Isralestine, a book detailing the prophetic significance of Psalm 83 was being penned for future publication at the time of the discovery of the Psalm 83 parchment in Ireland. It is now available and has caused many eschatologists to rethink their end time’s models.

Historically many Rabbis have taught that “Coincidence” is not a kosher word. When we consider the above correlating summer of 2006 events and their seeming past, present, and future infusion, should they be classified as coincidental or providential? Should eschatologists be rethinking the time placement of Psalm 83? Is it possible that the summer of 2006 was a prophetically relevant season?

After all, Amos 3:7 declares; Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. Is it possible the Lord used the summer of 2006 to warn the world that the Psalm 83 prophecy is about to find final fulfillment?

Obama or Israel, who Invades Iran?

by Bill Salus

Is Obama preparing a preemptive strike against Iran? Some analysts suggest he is. Among the reasons, they cite Obama’s failed Mideast foreign policy of “Engagement” coupled with the
recent rumors that a British company has contracted with the US Navy to deliver 300 "bunker busting" bombs to the British base in Diego Garcia - a staging area for strikes against Iraq in 1991 and 2003.

However, odds are Obama’s present political predicament will prevent him from invading Iran and running the risk of opening Pandora’s Middle East Box. As I suggest in my article “
Is the Mideast about to go Apocalyptic”, any preemptive strategic strike against Iran could have disastrous worldwide prophetic consequences.

Presently several
polls show the President’s popularity is rapidly deteriorating and he can ill afford any further damage to his reputation or domestic agenda. A unilateral strike against Iran without first forming a base international coalition and / or achieving unanimous congressional blessing could be political suicide. Additionally, in light of the Obamacare fiasco and ongoing American financial crisis, it appears the President could lack the political clout necessary to accomplish either of the above.

Furthermore, the recent announcement by
Vladimir Putin regarding Russia’s proactive participation in the expeditious completion of Iran's nuclear site at Bushehr serves as a further deterrent to any such Obama strike. In addition to being a severe slap in Obama’s face, this recent Russian announcement;

1. Substantiates Israeli suspicions of Russia's critical covert role in Iran's nuclear program,
2. Informs the International community that Russia's bid to reemerge as a world
superpower is well underway,
3. Implies that Russian deployment of the S-300 missile defense system to Iran is about to commence full speed ahead,
4. Fuels Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s zeal to fulfill his nuclear aspirations expeditiously,
5. Diplomatically shuts the door on effective international “
crippling sanctions”,
6. Complicates any and all attempts to preempt a strategic strike against Iran’s nuclear sites,
7. Torques up Mideast tension, and
8. Accelerates Israel’s and / or any nation’s time clock to attack Iran.

Such a pending American strike also suggests the recent diplomatic disaster between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and America’s Vice President Joe Biden may have been staged. It implies that America attempted to distance Israel through political embarrassment in order to keep Israelis out of harm’s way from the unforeseen repercussions of an American led strike against Iran.

It is doubtful that America is playing the role of “Mother Hen” over Israel. Rather, it appears Obama sent Biden over to strong arm Israel into freezing settlements and news of the approved construction of 1600 new homes in
Ramat Shlomo headed the V.P. off at the pass. This is probably why Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, called the event “insulting”, and U.S. peace envoy George Mitchell abruptly cancelled his previously planned Mideast visit.

It is doubtful that Obama has received a divine epiphany that attacking Iran enhances his political popularity, rather it appears his top military advisors have forewarned him that Israel is about to strike Iran and that America had better be adequately prepared and deployed. These 300 “B” designator bunker buster’s (i) may be nothing more than a replenishment of stock. Presently the U.S. military has enormous stockpiles of weapons and ammunition stored on Diego Garcia.




and that's my "two Mideast cents worth"
Bill Salus

_______
(i) These are"B" designator - BLU-110()/B and BLU-117()/B (bombs) which means they're specifically US Navy ordnance, and are destined for loading on to carrier-based strike aircraft... these weapons are conventional "shock and awe" crater makers.
Just to be clear... the BLU-110/B and BLU-117/B are not "bunker busters"... This is an error which originated with a UPI report published last Thursday. As with most things military covered by most corporate news organizations, they did not bother to check or cross-reference their information for accuracy.

The fact of the matter is that these two bombs are conventional ordnance air-drop "dumb bombs" with a precision GPS/Inertial guidance add-on kit attached to the bomb's rear end (Tail-Kit). They're commonly redesignation as GBU-## or Guided Bomb Unit-##. They are also generally known as JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) weapons. They will not penetrate the ground deeply, but will shatter above ground reinofrced concrete tunnel entrances, exits and air vents.

True "bunker busters" are the BLU-109 Penetrator, BLU-113 Super Penetrator, BLU-116 Advanced Unitary Penetrator and the BLU-118 Thermobaric Penetrator.
