The Middle East – The Coming War of Wars

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

I have visited the Dome of the Rock and paid my respects. Jerusalem is the crossroads of three major religions – Jewish, Islam, and Christian. Disputes over specific locations abound throughout the city. There has been a long-running and undeclared war between two of Israel and Iran – the Middle East’s most implacable foes. I am deeply concerned that 2024 was the target year for this confrontation to burst to the surface. The October 7th Hamas/Iran attack on Israel was the beginning.

To the Jews and Christians, this is known as the Temple Mount, while the Muslims call it the Dome of the Rock. It contains a huge rock that the Jewish tradition says is that this is where Abraham was told to sacrifice his son. To the Muslims, the rock is the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad was taken up into heaven for an encounter with God (an event known as the Miʿrāj). Thus, it is the same rock, symbolizing the clash between these religions.

Vespasian AE Ses Judea Capitive XFThere are some Christian Zealots who want to destroy the Dome of the Rock to force the Second Coming and Armageddon. Yet there are also far-right Jewish Zealots advocating the destruction of the Dome of the Rock to pave the way for building a Jewish temple. The initial construction of the Dome of the Rock was undertaken by the Umayyad Caliphate on the orders of Abd al-Malik back during the Second Fitna (691–692AD). It was constructed on top of the very site of the Second Jewish Temple, which had been constructed in c. 516AD to replace the destroyed Temple of Solomon was reconstructed by Herod the Great, the Jewish King of Judea from 37/6BC to 4/1BC. It was that Temple that the Romans destroyed in 70AD.

It was only after the  Six-Day War was over by June 10th, 1967 (1967.441) that Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem, was reunited. For the first time in 19 years, the Old City was open to believers of all faiths, and Jews could access their holiest sites. I was fortunate to have visited everywhere in the late 1970s. Cyclically, that was precisely on time under the model.

It was 51.6 years right on target from the Six-Day War that the negotiations began, and within two months, on March 25, 2019, then President Donald Trump signed the Proclamation on Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the State of Israel. It was then, from May 3rd to 6th, that the Gaza–Israel clashes began (May 2019) also on time.

Temple Mount Jerusalem Wailing Wall RIsrael allowed Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. The Jews have been praying at the base of the Temple Mount, where the old Temple Wall still remains. Jordan, the custodian of the Dome of the Rock, demanded that the government cease Jewish prayer on the mount. The Israeli government avoided formally addressing these silent prayers. They occur on the eastern side of the Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount, albeit without traditional Jewish prayer items such as tallit, tefillin, or siddur.

Our computer has been projecting a rising confrontation and has targeted 2024 as the key turning point. I also reported on that in the February 13th, 2023 post in the last update. Yes, I will update this.

They had an interesting guy on Real America Voices yesterday. His belief was that the Biden Administration rejected the Abraham Accords and funded Iran was that if Israel and their neighbors actually got along and had international ties, the American military equipment manufacturers wouldn’t be able to make much money.
I think he is on to something there. Why they hated Trump and love Biden, they make billions under Biden.

Zealots of any religion are always the most dangerous. First they believe they are the only ones that know what god wants, then they are the only one god speaks too, then they are the only ones that can interpret gods will, then they are the only ones that can speak for god, and then they are god. Very dangerous people indeed.

Any religion that boasts of genocide and threatens more on a global scale is a threat to all life on earth. All Abrahamic religion fits that description. Only there isn’t just one name brand of Abrahamic death cult. There are at least 4, not counting Communism. Each promising victory at Armageddon. With further subdivisions which are likewise played against one another, based on slight differences in interpretation of ambiguous scriptures.
Consider the tribe from which all Abrahamic death cults originate.

Religions are all false and manmade. They were created to give the psychopaths among us a fabricated spiritual connection to a fabricated God in order to justify their rule over the rest of the people.
These false and manmade religions have now brought humanity to precipice of extinction by the eventual use of nuclear weapons. All over a lie. I suppose any species stupid enough to exterminate itself over the lies of the a few psychopaths deserve the fate they made for themselves.

Unfortunately you’ll have to stand before a non-fabricated God, Jesus Christ, and explain someday why you didn’t believe in Him and His sacrifice for your sins. It won’t be a comfortable moment. Turn to Him while there’s still time as time is running short.

Why would anyone kneel to a God promising Armageddon and making terrorist threats? How does Jehovah’s promise of Armageddon, differ than Allah’s promise of Armageddon, or Satan’s?

Would you cave to a terrorist who makes threats? Or only when those threats come from a book that has been well marketed to people who rarely bother to read it? Imagining the word of the Bible was delivered by divine epiphany just because it comes as a spoon fed #1 best seller makes abouts as much sense as thinking Big Macs and Pepsi Cola come delivered by angels from heaven.

The USA was created as a secular State. The separation of Church and State was one of foundation stones the Nation was built on. The reason for that was the obvious corruption and immorality of the Theocratic Feudal States that existed everywhere else on the earth.
Despite or pledge to be a Secular State, we supported the illegal and immoral creation of a Theocracy, and then further supported it financially and militarily until we have now created a monster called Israel. We now stand at the threshold of nuclear war because of our stupid mistake, and our failure to admit the truth.
For the sake of civilization, Israel must cease to exist.

The early Founders weren’t advocates of “separation of church and state” perse — only that the state not establish a state religion that supersedes all other religions or granted a privileged place within the halls of government.

The Fallacy of ‘Separation of Church and State’ – American Thinker

The idea of separation comes from a letter in the 1800’s from Jefferson, where he mentions a wall of separation. America is not anti-religious but favors no particular religion and especially taxing to support a state religion like England.

Exactly! I make mention of that to some degree in the above mentioned link — The Fallacy of ‘Separation of Church and State’ …

“‘On New Year’s Day 1802, Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists to assuage their fear that the federal government might one day attempt to condition religious freedom as a right granted by the state. Jefferson, an Anti-Federalist, clearly stated his intention to keep government out of religious affairs rather than empower it to remove religion from the public arena: “Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in the behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural rights in opposition to his social duties.'”

“The First Amendment compels government not to eradicate religion from the public arena. If the expression of religious beliefs is an inherent God-designed part of human nature, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, then government acting to remove religion from the public sphere would have seemed to our Founding Fathers to be acting in a manner antithetical to our founding principles.”

The freedom of religion, must logically contain within it the freedom from religion. To force the US taxpayer to fund and support the Jewish religion by supporting Israel is forcing them to pay for what they have been given the right to be free of.
Anyone who has educated themselves in the Jewish religion, knows that it is dominated by the teaching of the Talmud, and the evil of those teachings. The Jewish religion supports genocide, pedophilia, and teaches that the Jews are the only human beings on earth and that all other humans are worthless and put here to serve the Jews. I will not support that.

The American government is not religious at all. The Constitution that is the Supreme Law of the Land, stipulates that in the very first amendment.
The US Government is strictly prohibited from establishing or supporting religion in any way shape or form. The support of Israel, an obvious Theocracy is absolutely the support of religion and is prohibited by the Constitution. The Constitution is only one of many laws the US is breaking by its support for Israel.

Right – the Founding Fathers didn’t want an “American” church like there was the Anglican church.

It’s more a separation of church from the state.

And most of the Founding Fathers were very religious in their beliefs.

The US Government needs to reject being connected to religion, in any way, that means cutting off all aid and alliances to all Theocracies.

I can almost see it in my mind’s eye, and I wouldn’t at all place it outside the realm of possibility, especially with Turkey’s [Saudia Arabia too] recent turn towards Russia. But if you don’t mind, could you elaborate a bit further on how you arrived at the July 3rd timeline?

Why is it always the God of the Jews, the Devil of the Jews, the Communism of the Jews, or the Atheism of the Jews? Why do the people of the West still have to ask where they went wrong? How has tolerating the tribe worked out for the great civilizations of Rome, of Greece, of Egypt, and everywhere else the tribe has migrated? How is it working out for us?

To Martin Armstrong: 1967.441 , 51.6 , Are you suggesting that I should look at the decimal part on my research ? I have tried it before but I cannot figure out how to do it. I know the solution is very simple when using the decimal part of a number, but I cannot find it.
