Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State approaches Israel

May 21, 2015 10:23 pm By Robert Spencer

golan-heightsPrediction: if the Islamic State gets into a position to threaten Israel in any serious way, we will start seeing the mainstream media grow markedly sympathetic to it, with a spate of articles hailing the new “maturity” and “moderation” of the Islamic State.

“ISIS Approaches Israel: Islamic State Loyalists Thwarted By Syrian Rebels Along Golan Heights Border,” by Morgan Winsor, International Business Times, May 20, 2015:

Islamic State loyalists in Syria have made attempts in recent weeks to expand the extremist group’s territory near the border with Israel, but have been twice thwarted by Syrian rebels along the Golan Heights. Israel has not yet responded to the incidents, even as mortar shells from the battles with ISIS fighters landed across the border into Israeli territory, Israeli news site Ynetnews said.

In the past, Israel has increased its forces in the Golan Heights near the Syrian border when shells fired by the Syrian army spilled over into Israeli territory, the Jerusalem Post said. However, Israel has remained quiet during the past two weeks as rebel fighters from Syria repelled militants loyal to the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

The ISIS-loyalists have so far failed to gain foothold on the Golan Heights border, which would allow the Islamic State to set up a base for operations against Israel, Ynetnews said. Their attacks have been thwarted by the Free Syrian Army, which reportedly receives Israeli humanitarian aid, in cooperation with the Nusra Front, a Sunni Muslim branch of al Qaeda operating in Syria and Lebanon….

      Very plausible scenario.

      One things for sure…..

      “But woe to the earth and the sea,
      because the devil has gone down to you!
      He is filled with fury,
      because he knows that his time is short.”

      (Revelation 12:12)

      ….it’s late in world history.

        So very true. It’s almost like we can actually see him with the human eye, as the evidence is all around that he is expressing his rage on earth and against mankind.

        “devil has gone down to you”

        What? From where?

        Gobbledegook similar to Shiism. Not helping. Read a science text.

          DO try to be objective. ‘No Fear’ is criticising the use of religious gobbledegook,
          NOT implying that science books have the answers. And you KNOW it.

          However, maybe the science of nuclear fission/fusion might hold some answers as
          to how to respond to ISIS… or Islam in general. Do you think?

          The Infidel, I suggest “The Art of War” as a good starting point

          “If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”

        I am very much in favor of referring to Satan and the Devil as the epitome of pure evil. More people need to know about Satan just as they do God. Science provides no definition of good or evil just as it does not provide us with a definition of music and art. Yet we know good and evil when we see it (at least some of us still do) and some of us also know good and bad music or art when we see or hear it.

        The big problem today is we cannot even name our enemy. This is largely because our government schools have tossed out teaching about good and evil so the younger generation does not know how to recognize it when they see it. Now they are mystified by ISIS and do not know what to do. Some kids even join ISIS or want to. ISIS is pure 100% concentrated evil taken right out of the past as described in our earliest ancient written records. Satan and the Devil are perfect manifestations of evil. ISIS is something like your worst horror movie coming to real life.

        B.O. will not stop them because he represents too many people who speak, see, and hear no evil. If our Federal Government will not stop ISIS, they will be showing in a town near you or “live and in person” at your home soon.

        • spot on says

          May 22, 2015 at 12:00 pm

          BTW, Our Federal Government owns and maintains our nukes but they will not use them until we are nuked first (maybe not even then). Does anyone really believe ISIS and their counterparts care about our retaliatory strike? Just like in any fight, the first strike is usually decisive. Only in the phoney movies does the victim get back to their feet and then go on to win the fight.

    Somehow I think your prediction is correct with regards to MSM’s shift in opinion about the Islamic State when and if they try and threaten Israel.

    However, unlike the fake posing and theater of Obama and Iraq and company, ISIS will be facing real attacks by jets, real tanks, real fighters who won’t run and hide, and real military commanders who are really trying to win. For example, there won’t be any massive victory parades out in the open, without having all their heads blown off.

      May 22, 2015 at 7:24 am

      Isis will find themselves fighting a big boy’s war. Israel will not be constrained by human rights lawyers. Go Israel, wipe the scum from face of the earth.

      • Hook says

        May 22, 2015 at 2:44 pm

        Well said Caroline. We must learn to despise the enemy as much they do to us. Then the fight will be equal.

    • SnitchInTime says

      May 22, 2015 at 8:47 am

      Obama has already made the switch by his use of ISIL rather than ISIS. The latter is based on what the Islamic wannabe State has taken while the former is based upon what the IS wishes to take. Obama is tacitly endorsing the invasion and destruction of Israel by thr Islamic State by his use if ISIL. Israel is the anvil upon which many Islamist hammers and tongs have been shattered. Obama is the latest tool and his end will be no different.

      I hope so! I keep hearing how tough Israel can be. But all I ever see is them trying to win the world’s favor and caving anytime someone criticizes them for daring to defend themselves.

      I’d love to see them actually FIGHT!

        I see what you are saying but I do believe there is a line that Netanyahu and his cohorts will not allow Iran to cross. If Iran has stopped advancing their program or has delayed their time frame it is surely not because of John Kerry but more likely is due to this line set by Netanyahu. I’m sure Iran knows where this line is. Netanyahu and his nation’s survival is at stake. He has vowed to defend them and I believe him but I am sure they will put is off until the very last. They still remember the holocaust while the rest of the world has forgotten the kind of evil they now face.

      May 22, 2015 at 6:08 am

      Correction. Saudi Arabia created Wahabi ISIS a long, long time ago. But now the child has outgrown and is even attacking the parent – as children often do. So yes, Saudi has created a Frankenstein, and they were fools not to see what would happen. Blinded by their own religion – serves them right.

      As for Obama, well as a Sunni Muslim he just bows before and obeys the Saudi king. He will do whatever they tell him. It is just as well a US president can only do two terms, otherwise the US would be sunk.

      Obama bows before the Saudi king:

  7. Lawrence says

    May 22, 2015 at 2:47 am

    Yes I have been thinking exactly the same thing re the Left will in all likelihood give support/rationalizations and justifications for ISIS if it attacked Israel, and left a comment at FrontPage magazine this very morning (that has yet to be approved) in this regard, on a Daniel Greenfield article.

    The Western Left’s depravity knows no bounds, it’s not even a stretch from their current support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian bomb. So yes if ISIS succeeds in toppling Assad and then inevitably launches jihad raids or terror attacks against Israel, then yes the UN, the NY Times, the BBC, the Guardian, Amnesty International and the other usual suspects will shill for and engage in apologetics for ISIS and condemn Israel for doing anything to counter ISIS terror against Israel’s own citizens.

  8. bob says

    May 22, 2015 at 4:17 am

    Many years ago Sir Winston Churchill said after El Alimein. “This is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning” That would be the case if IS attacked Isreal. There would be another 6 day war with the result of no more IS. Where the west has been reluctant to attack IS and weak with the IS sympathy that prevails in the Muslim community in the EU, the Jews would wipe out IS with their will, might and the true one God on their side.

    In the UK the MSM is superficially hostile to Israel as a posture its practitioners learnt from Gramsci influenced college lecturers. Much like they pretend to love multiculturalism, while living in non multicultural areas and sending their kids to 90% white, 100% civilised schools.
    Israel has been spared their carping for several months, but if Israel is attacked I suspect the MSM will change its tune.
    Israel is a beacon of decent values, not entirely alone, in the Near East.
    I would expect Israel to do what we would have done when a monocultural self governing country if attacked. Remember 1940.
    As an enemy fifth column is being developed within the UK, Israel’s plight just might encourage the UK media and politicians to toughen up.
    I’ve little doubt that Israel will prevail against savagery, and I hope the Israelis do to IS what everyone else is frightened to do.

          Anyone who believes in a murdering bastard as a god, deserves all the ridicule they get. Do you think that someone who worships a tyrant like Pol-Pot as a god, deserves any respect whatsoever?

          The whole concept of a malevolent murdering bastard of a god should have been put to bed centuries ago – and it has in Europe. It only still exists in the more uneducated and barbaric regions of the world, like the Middle East and North America.

          Anyone who writes as you do about others who believe in a Loving and Giving God, deserves to be ridiculed also. And yet, rarely, do Christians ridicule anyone, even those who call Our Creator and Holy God such awful names as you have.
          But, contrary to what you seem to want, as you told the other poster, “Please leave this biblical **** out of this, it is not helping.”…we also have freedom of speech…or in this case…writing. So, get over yourself. Christians are not the problem.
          If you don’t wish to read anything about the Bible or the True God, then don’t read it. No one is forcing you, nor is anyone trying to force you to believe.

  13. Aton says

    Just as was predicted in this analysis of ISIS.

    https://www.academia.edu/7377874/An_analysis_of_the_ISIS_rebels_future_conquests_in_Syria_Asia_Minor_and_North_Africa

    This is not really an analysis, it is more a prediction that ISIS will try to follow the history of Muhummad’s 7th century campaigns. ISIS is driven by a literal interpretation of the Koran, so it is logical that they will also be driven by a literal interpretation of the history of Muhummad – which includes an attack on Israel and then Anatolia and then North Africa.

    But this will be interesting, because ISIS will find Israel better defended than in the 7th century. But ISIS is populated and led by brain-washed Muslim idiots, who may not appreciate that. They believe their own propaganda; they believe their own invincibility; and they believe they are guided and protected by god. So will ISIS attack the ‘Little Satan’? You bet they will, and the results will be very interesting. This will be the excuse that Israel needs to expand out from Israel “to protect its borders”, causing another major Near Eastern war.

    However, if Israel is wise enough it will seek a secret and then overt alliance with Assad in Syria. Assad’s Alawites are not Muslims. They are actually Nazarene Christians, and thus half Jewish, and may well accept an alliance with Israel. The only reason that they could not before, is because they were pretending to be Muslim, to avoid persecution and paying the Jizya tax. And they have done this for more than 1,000 years. (Although they were still consigned to the gutters of Syrian society for all that time. They only gained power via the French, who were also looking for allies in the region.)

    However the true allegiancies of Assad’s Alawites are now well and truly out of the bag. The only real support that Assad has in Syria is from the Syriac Christians, who know that they are in the same ‘persecution boat’ as the Alawites. If Assad falls and his Alawites slaughtered, then the Syriac Christians fall and are slaughtered alongside him.

    So Assad already has a secret alliance with the Christians. It is only one small step further for him to really come out of the closet, and have an alliance with Israel too. For who will protect Assad now? The Sunnis and ISIS? Certainly not. Perhaps a few Shia Hezbollah might assist him, but who are Hezbollah versus the might of Israel and the West? The only stumbling block to this alliance between Assad and Israel is Obama and McCain in the US, who would not entertain it. (Because McCain is too dumb to understand it, while Obama is a Sunni who wants to destroy both Assad and Israel.) But with a new president in the US in a year or so, then why not?

    An Israel-Syria alliance would certainly change the dynamics of the Middle East forever. Can you imagine an Alawite-Christian Syria opened up for tourism just like Greece or Cyprus? With Turkey plunging ever deeper into an Islamic abyss, Syria would become the new tourist destination in the eastern Med. And this could happen very quickly.

    Resort cities like Latakia are very nice. They are Alawite and are untouched by the recent conflict. Latakia was built on Saudi sex, drink, gambling and bacon sandwiches – one of the playground destinations of the typical hypocritical Saudi prince (and not as obviously Western as Cannes or Majorca). All Assad needs to do is upgrade the airport at Batrah, and you could have the tourists in next year (as soon as they feel safe). Many of the ‘Saudi’ hotels are already of Western standard.

    Come Assad, what do you think is best – utter isolation with no friends in the West or East, and thus withering on a stagnant economic vine? Or an alliance with the Israel and the West, and a huge influx of Western currency and reconstruction? You cannot pretend you are Muslim any more, everyone knows the truth now. So why not join the civilised world? Your people have been wanting to throw off the pretense and the harsh yoke of Islam for more than 1,000 years. This is your opportunity – you either grasp it now, or suffer another 1,000 years under the harsh yoke of Islam.

    Your choice mate…..

      It’s too late in the game for Assad to dare venture for an Israeli alliance. Assad does have friends, the more major being Iran, Russia and China. Those friends or allies would drop him quickly if he warmed up to the U.S. and Israel. Also, the U.S.A ‘s foreign policy is so muddied with Saudi and Gulf States money that Assad doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of any favorable relationship with our current State Department. The Sauds, Turks, Gulf States and Obama’s America ( including the brain dead McCain and Linsey Grahm ) want him dead. It’s now a proxy war, where the U.S. and Turkey are backing ISIS to exterminate anything not Sunni in Syria. It’s only fair that Iran enters the war on Syrias side with Russia watching Irans back.

    People should know – Israel is giving medical aid to mainly civilians who were hurt in the figthing !!

    yes it also helps injured terrorists who hate israel – and any way the majority wont return to the figitning so they dont have effect on the battle –

    again in points

    1 – israel manly treats syrian civilians (who hate israel btw) there is a tiny amount of rebels in the mix – but they are just a small part of it

    2- the anti-israel media is making it sound as if israel has made a rebel healing base there –

    3 – israel also has made a feild hospital next to gaza during the milatry operation there

    4- “palstinians” are always getting medical aid in israel – nothing new – gaza people go to israeli hospitals – including hamas members and family ! that get treated in israel

      Obama, leftists-socialists, antisemitic Jews (Soros) and the media will find ways to demonize Israel. They absolutely prefer ISIS to Israel, which they want to see destroyed. University students and professors openly support ISIS (see Project Veritas). Israel will do the dirty work for the world and fight ISIS with great human loss, than predictably will be vilified.

    Probably the most interesting snippet of information in that story is the suggestion that Israel is supplying “humanitarian aid” to the FSA. That could well be true, the FSA is a useful buffer in that region and it is in Israel’s interests to see the FSA control the Syrian side of the Golan rather than ISIS. Don’t be surprised if the “aid” includes weapons and ammunition.
    Should ISIS take the Syrian side of the Golan Heights and launch any type of attack on Israel, expect a powerful response. The IDF is the only regional Army that would take on ISIS in a ground operation. They have significant number of tanks and of course and air force and could give the Jihadis a lesson in warfare if the were provoked. Assad’s father learnt that lesson in 1973.

    Prediction: if the Islamic State gets into a position to threaten Israel in any serious way, we will start seeing the mainstream media grow markedly sympathetic to it, with a spate of articles hailing the new “maturity” and “moderation” of the Islamic State.

    Yup. And if Israel kills any member of the islamic state we’ll be bombarded with all the Pallywood propaganda bullet points recycled for the islamic state. And God forbid Israel from doing any sort of preemptive strike. The media would be on it like jackdaws.

    regarding the above ‘prediction’ to anticipate

    “…a spate of articles hailing the new “maturity” and “moderation” of the Islamic State.”

    All too predictable given historical patterns of traitorous media responses to any one of many instances — such as the Armenian Genocides, the Holocaust, Balkans Wars, and most recently to massive human waves of illegal Muslim immigrantsinvaders of Western nations, Cartoon intifada, doctrinal/ethnic cleansing in every ISIS/IS/ISIL/Daesh sphere of influence etc. ,etc., ad nauseum, ad inifitum
    1400 years of subversion for submission
    link to video lecture by (speed talking) William J. Federer titled “What The West Needs To Know About Islam ” from which I include these select quotes:

    06:37 But, the idea is, five years within Mohammed immigrating to the Jewish city of Medina, there’s not a Jew left in the city of Medina (chuckle)

    06:49 So we see that he had this pattern.

    06:59 Caesar’s three steps was “”Veni, vidi, vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered)

    07:02 Mohammed’s three steps were , he immigrated, he increased, he eliminated

    07:04 He immigrated as a religious leader and they were nice enough to let him in.

    07:07 Then he increased the number of his followers amongst the disadvantaged minorities .

    07:13 And when he gets a following he turns into a political leader.

    07:17 And then he eliminates the previous culture. This is going on right now.

    07:19 We see it happening in Europe. Europe’s very socialist.

    07:23 The government pays for their healthcare, welfare and retirement.

    07:25 But they’re having fewer kids, plus abortion. So who’s going to pay all the taxes to support all the social programs?

    07:31 They decide that ‘immigrants’ will. So they open their doors.

    07:32 70% of immigrants to Europe are Muslim, fifty million of them. They are having on average 8 kids per family and they are taking over neighborhoods.

    07:41 In twenty years, there will be one hundred million Muslims in Europe and guess what?

    07:44 They’ll dominate the politics.

    12:21 Dwight Eisenhower faced this in the 1950’s while communists took over 45 countries.

    12:27 And the way the communists did it is they would send community organizers into countries to organize to overthrow the rich.

    12:33 Once there was blood in the streets, they would set up dictatorships. Stalin, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Mao Zedong

    12:40 And as these communist community organizers and labor organizers came into America, Time magazine, (image not shown)

    12:45 Dwight Eisenhower, ‘the Bill of Rights does not contain the privilege to destroy the Bill of Rights. A group dedicated to the destruction of all civil liberties cannot be allowed to claim civil liberties as it’s privileged sanctuary from which to carry on subversion of the government’.

    12:57 So they couldn’t come in, wave a flag, saying ‘freedom of speech and of press and assembly’ when they want to organize to overthrow the government where they are not going to allow freedom of the press or assembly.

    It certainly makes one suspicious, that the president must have been given security assessments all along to the effect that the third stringers these folks are able to field against ISIS, would not be able to stop them, and that the limits of their expansion would be only in the numbers of people they could field, and time. I certainly makes his efforts to isolate, marginalize, and defund Israel appear a great deal more sinister in it’s intent. Given the rise if antisemitism in the EU, I find it unlikely that they will be willing to lend aide as freely as they should.

    On the other hand, although I too share the opinion that any direct conflict here… once if finally gets going after a long and protracted series of incidents… will be the equivalent of the jihadi putting their balls in a vise. Sadly, the left will fall over themselves all the more in talking about the israeli genocide of innocent islamists, and their islamizing/jihadi mothers, as they are already ready to go at full bore. I also predict that this will be just the boost that Hillary needs to win the popular election, as she will claim that all of this could have easily been avoided if only they had continued her perfectly sound and well thought out Benghazi policies…

    The violent Muslim thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS must really want to destroy the State of Israel. Nevertheless, they will totally fail in that goal. For they are fated to lose in their mad Islamic quest to destroy Israel. This is because the God of the Bible is ,very much for Israel. For example, ,the Bible in Psalm 135:4. reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]

    Israel is increasingly on its own. As the events of the 20th century recede into he rear view mirror, academe, journalists, and political figures in the States are increasingly pro- Islamic. As the Muslim population of the US increases this trend will become more obvious to the detriment of Israel.
    American Jews – already timid and liberal are unlikely to be very helpful to their cousins in Israel.

    If ISIS starts a war with Israel, the real problem will be created by the inbred Muslims living and coming to the West. They will threaten the leftest media to publish anti-Israeli articles. We have already seen the Western media oblige almost all the time. Any war between ISIS and Israel, which is inevitable, is potentially going to create huge drift between the left and the rest right here on our shores. Most of the Mohamedians are already preparing huge anti-Israel demonstrations. Unless we have fully armed law enforcements in place, we will also go through a very rough patch. Islam and Mohamedians will lose but they will murder thousand innocent civilians in the process – of course blame it all on the Jews……

    Israel is supporting ISIS by proxy like the Western Goverments is by Aiding the Free Syrian Army which is ISIS Obama is also aiding them to giving them weapons i Do not beleive for a second all the crap how the free syrian Army is fighting ISIS they probably pretending to fight ISIS and when they are given weapons by the US they probably give them to ISIS the west is empowering ISIS its fact that the Free Syrian Army destroyed a christian Church and they are as moderate as ISIS is

    Its worrying to that isis could get nuclear weapons from Pakistan

      The is and all who support it will get exactly what they deserve…no more and no less. The True God is a God of Justice and never gives less than is deserved. Justice is coming quickly and it will be swift and sure. There will be no blessing for the is and its supporters.

    That’s it!! We somehow arrange for IS to trigger Israel’s wrath, and then let the Israelis, who, rightly so, care little about world opinion, pound this enemy of humanity into oblivion… Islamist expansionist problem solved…

    I love R Spencer’s commentary, but I disagree with his prediction. The closer ISIS gets to Israel, I believe the more concerned US citizens will become, Obama notwithstanding. As quiet as Americans seem to be lately re our relationship with Israel, I believe our citizens support Israel far more than the silence coming from us indicates. We are all waiting to see who cries “Uncle” first and deals with ISIS. If no one steps up to the plate (ie IRAN where are you?) I believe the USA will partner more openly with Israel. No one wants to be the one to take down ISIS but Israel will not hesitate to do what needs to be done. Don’t mess with Texas? Small potatoes. Don’t mess with Israel.

    “The single factor most driving the U.S.-Israel relationship appears to be the broad and deep support for Israel among the American public,” Israel Institute program director Michael Koplow writes. “The average gap between those holding favorable and unfavorable views of Israel over [the past four administrations] is 31 points.” (2015)

    Sharia Law
    Daniel 7:1-8 ( KJV )
    Great Beasts

    In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

    Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
    And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
    Daniel 7
    The first was like a lion,(lion of Justice symbol of England) and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, (Uncle Sam and the eagle) and a man’s heart was given to it. (England and the USA)

    Revelation 6
    And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
    And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Christian Nations)

    Daniel 7
    And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, (symbol of Russia red bear) and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (Russia or communist)

    Revelation 6
    And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
    And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword (Red Communist)

    Daniel 7
    After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (China or Asian descent )

    Revelation 6
    And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
    And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Trade)

    Daniel 7
    After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (Middle East)

    Revelation 6
    And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
    (Muslims)

    Dan 2
    {And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
    And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, (5 on each foot not together as yet) part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
    And as the toes of the feet (10 Nations no fully together yet) were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
    And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, (Muslims are all over the world) even as iron is not mixed with clay. (Now you know why the Muslims can’t get along with each other)
    And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
    Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, (Jesus) and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.}

    Dan 7
    I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
    Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
    And the ten horns (10 toes(10 Nations no fully together yet) out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
    And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: (Sharia law) and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (3-1/2 years)

    Revelation 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
    And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
    And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, (3-1/2 years) from the face of the serpent.
    And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
    And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
    And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

    Dan 7
    But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
    And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
    Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
