SYRIA: End time CATYLYST

And when you SEE JERUSALEM encompassed by armies, then you KNOW that the desolation thereof is nigh (Luke 21:20) The above verse has been from the time it was stated a KEY SIGN that has POINTED to the Time of the End. Yet this verse REMAINS to be FULFILLED, and yet it has SEEMED to have BEEN fulfilled in the past, and yet it hasnt. There have been a NUMBER of times when Jerusalem has been Encompassed by armies, and YET it has NOT been The End. So IF this is THE SIGN, it has been QUITE a disappointment to some. Are we MISSING something? It seems we have been GIVEN THE KEY PUZZLE PIECE, and yet the FULL PUZZLE seems to elude us. Have you ever done that; take a PIECE of ANOTHER puzzle and TRIED to MAKE IT FIT into an entirely DIFFERENT puzzle. You may frustrate yourself. You have a KEY PIECE, and YET it doesnt fit?! Should you then DISCARD the KEY PIECE? No, YOU NEED ONLY FIND THE RIGHT PUZZLE. It is my supposition that our HISTORICAL CONTEXT has been ENTIRELY OFF. It has to be, what else can explain our FAILURE to successfully complete this conundrum. In FACT as scripture STATES that EVEN AT THE VERY END we will ONCE AGAIN FAIL to fit Jerusalem into the PROPER CONTEXT. The KEY PIECE will be there. The RIGHT PUZZLE will be there. And YET the MAJORITY MISSES IT!!! This to me STAGGERS the mind! How is it possible? And yet it is prophesied, it is FUTURE FACT! When those armies descend upon Jerusalem it seems ABUNDANTLY clear that they will have NO IDEA that they are descending to their OWN DESTRUCTION (Zech 14:1-5). If they DID, then WHY would they go? It seems that Psalms 74:9 will prove TRUE once again; We see NOT OUR SIGNS there is no more any Prophet neither is there among us ANY that knoweth HOW LONG? So, it SEEMS that we NEED TO FIND the PROPER CONTEXT; THE PROPER PUZZLE that HAS BEEN MISSED down through time, and will AGAIN be MISSED. A wise man once said; We need to go back to ORIGINS. I believe this is THE CORRECT course to take, in that I believe it will GIVE us the PROPER PUZZLE. What are the ORIGINS of our CURRENT MODERN Middle East? I will merely lay out a SYNOPSIS. If you want to get a more in depth study you can look up these subjects on Wikipedia, also the Books; Six Days of War by Michael Oren, The Bafour Declaration by Jonathan Schneer, Empire by Niall Ferguson, The Ottoman Empire by Kinross:

At the end of the 19th Century the Ottoman Empire was considered to be The sick man in Europe. The Turks were given the Legacy of the Muslim CALIPHATE, and it was crumbling. The Turks themselves were turning SECULAR, while the MORE RELIGIOUS of the Muslims were in decline, disorganized and dispirited. The Caliphate seemed at an END. Into the vacuum, as nature ADHORES a vacuum ventured the WESTERN POWERS, plus Russia. Each had their OWN set of interests. Russia wanted access to the Mediterranean and a WARM WATER PORT. The Germans wanted to access the riches of the EAST via the proposed BAGDAD RAILROAD. Britain wanted to CONTROL ACCESS to India via THE SUEZ CANAL, and they didnt like the Germans horning in on their profits. The Americans (as usual) wanted everyone to JUST GET ALONG. And the French, well the French essentially just wanted to KEEP UP with the British. ALL THESE INTERESTS were BISECTED by ONE PARTY, that poor haphazard Sick man of Europe. Essentially the Sick man was in the way, and would have to GO. So the Brits, the French & the Russians started plotting how to bring The sick man DOWN, and what EACH was going to GET once it fell to pieces. The Sick man could SEE his head was on the block, and tried to MAKE A DEAL with what he HOPED would be the WINNER in the upcoming conflict; Help us out, and youll get your railroad to Bagdad he essentially said to the Germans. Problem is youve GOT TO REPLACE the Sick man with SOMETHING. Into this problem solving came a Mr Sykes (for the Brits), and a Mr. Picot (for the French). Where were the Russians? Well, we were just going to give the Russians Istanbul, and tell him to GO AWAY! The Russians had a WEAK hand and had problems of their own, later played out in the Russian revolution. So they were pretty much LEFT OUT of the negotiations. They were talked to, listened to, and ignored; another reason for the Russian folks to be really ticked off and take up their pitchforks against their own hapless Czar. Now the GOVERNING METHOD at the time, and which was QUITE EFFECTIVE was what was called a Protectorate. The Brits and the French would DIVIDE up an area and GOVERN it via a LOCAL King/Lord/Maharaja/Emir. This King was merely a FIGUREHEAD; the REAL POWER was in the COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION. So the Brits (who were the MOST effective at this) had figured out a way to GOVERN VAST AREAS with VERY FEW actual Brits. Very EFFECTIVE, in fact everyone was trying to COPY it; from the Japs to the Belgians. And the END of the 19th Century saw the DIVIDING UP of WHOLE CONTINENTS, regardless of what the locals thought. And the locals what did they think; well for the most part the Locals just wanted to EAT & LIVE. And the Brits now had what was called the MAXIM gun. No more, one rifle, one spear; one MAXIM could bring down ten thousand spears. So lets just let the Brits have what they want, and we can LIVE & EAT, said the locals.

So Mr. Sykes & Mr. Picot went about the work of DIVIDING the Sick man. And they found a FAMILY that they thought would make a GREAT PATSY (Lord/King) Sharif & Emir Hussein bin Ali. Emir Hussein thought this was a GRAND IDEA. If he were to follow the Brits in an ARAB REVOLT throwing OFF the Ottoman Empire he was to be GIVEN a VAST AREA to govern LIKE INDIA-so he thought. The Brits & French left out the part that it would be VAST. And ALSO the Brits didnt like the Emirs ideas of REINSTITUTING SHARIA LAW. The Brits would govern VAST areas so long as NO ONE got a RELIGIOUS IDEA that it would be anything but CHRISTIAN. The Emir was in for a BIG disappointment. In the end the WHOLE VAST area was DIVIDED into various PROTECTORATES. You had SYRIA, Iraq, Palestine, the Hejaz (later called Saudi Arabia), plus some smaller bits of sand like Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Qatar. We MIGHT have done this DIFFERENTLY had we KNOWN there was a VAST POOL OF OIL sitting under all that sand. But at the time it seemed a nifty idea. And the Emir, well he never fully recovered his PRESTIGE. All the locals KNEW he was TAKEN in by the Brits, and the locals held a grudge. His Sons were made Kings over the areas of SYRIA, Iraq, and the Hejaz. But the locals saw WEAKNESS, and later REVOLTED from them. The Saud clan took over the Hejaz and renamed it Saudi Arabia. A political party called BAATHIST each took over SYRIA, and Iraq. (What is a BAATHIST; think Arab Nazi, thats a Baathist) So what is LEFT of Sharif Husseins VAST Arab Empire? The Kingdom of Jordan which is STILL ruled by his Hashemite family, NOT much; I kind of feel sorry for him. While ALL THIS DIVISION WAS GOING ON all eyes were FOCUSED on Western Europe, in the VAST KILLING FIELDS of Lorraine. With ALL APPOLOGIES to those who died there, that actually WAS NOT the BIG EVENT. But it made Headlines, and THAT is WHERE people LOOK. The FOUNDATION for The End Time was being LAID, and ALL OUR EYES were focused ELSEWHERE. It SEEMED to be a GOOD PLAN at the time; you had ALL the Smart People working on it like Churchill. And when I first started examining it, I had to say WOW, WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN! We could have had, and SHOULD have had a STABLE Middle East. This was the ESSENCE of what was called THE DAMASCUS PROTOCOL, it SHOULD have worked. It was SET IN PLACE, and has been UNRAVELING ever since. IF you want to FIT the End Time PUZZLE PIECE of Jerusalem into the PROPER PUZZLE, you need to LOOK at the PUZZLE of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. THIS is what was THEN LAID OUT. THIS is what is NOW FLYING APART.

Just LOOK at what is going on NOW, and LOOK at all the previous REGIONAL wars, they ALL REVOLVE around the decisions surrounding the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. The DAMASCUS PROTOCOL outlined a STABLE Middle East DIVIDED by SECULAR GOVERNANCE. What Sharif Emir Hussein wanted, and thought he was getting was a UNITED Middle East under RELIGIOUS (Sharia) GOVERNANCE. WHERE ARE WE TODAY? The Russians STILL WANT access to the Mediterranean and a WARM WATER PORT; they have one NOW, its called Tartus in SYRIA, and they are NOT about to give it up. The Germans are BACK in Turkey trying to MAINTAIN access to the riches of the East & instead of India, its now OIL. The Americans (as usual) just want everyone to JUST GET ALONG, hence our invasion of Kuwait then Iraq and Afghanistan. The French are trying to MAINTAIN some semblance of RELEVANCE by helping to restore peace in an old PROTECTORATE called Mali. And the Brits are trying haplessly to MAINTAIN whats left of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. The Brits by trying to OVERTHROW the Baathist and other Dictators like Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, and Bashar Assad of SYRIA, they HOPE to put SECULAR GOVERNANCE BACK IN PLACE with more malleable Governors. Its a BUST Folks! Sharif Husseins DREAM of a VAST area under Sharia Law is RAPIDLY falling into place OVER the CORPSE of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. THIS is why EVERYTHING now REVOLVES around SYRIA. It is the LAST SECULAR (Arab) GOVERNMENT LEFT. Granted it IS a Baathist regime, but Baathists are SECULAR. A KEY PIECE of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL was SYRIA! I find it interesting that it is NOW the LAST PIECE to fall, yet it was and is the MOST IMPORTANT. It is a FACT that back in 1917 when the Brits were taking the Middle East from the hapless Sick man their GOAL of the INVASION was SYRIA, and DAMASCUS. Granted Jerusalem was the FIRST MAJOR city taken by the Allies in the Great War, but it was NOT the GOAL. The GOAL, AIM, OBJECTIVE was DAMASCUS. The Brits TOOK Jerusalem ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS. The SIGNIFICANCE of the taking of Jerusalem was MISSED by MANY because the FOCUS was DAMASCUS. DAMASCUS and SYRIA, was the KEY PIECE! The MODERN Middle East and the End Time Jerusalem PUZZLE PIECE will FIT into the BOX of what is left of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. The Arabs are trying to REPLACE & REMOVE it, and the Western Powers are trying to MAINTAIN what is left. And the Russians, well they just want their WARM WATER PORT. The French, the French just want to somehow be RELEVANT.

So while in 1917 when ALL EYES were FOCUSED on EUROPE we MISSED the BIG STORY of the FOUNDING of the Modern Middle East, the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL. Jerusalem was encompassed by armies and the End Time PUZZLE BOX was all laid out for us, and EVERYBODY missed it. THIS is the BIG STORY; the UN-MAKING of the DAMASCUS PROTOCOL! Understanding THIS will GIVE us the CONTEXT to fit that End Time Jerusalem PUZZLE PIECE. IF you want to KNOW WHEN Jerusalem will be encompassed by armies, you NEED TO WATCH (not Europe), but you NEED to WATCH SYRIA and DAMASCUS. The FACT that SYRIA is now embroiled in a Civil war SHOULD BE DISCONCERTING to all of us. SYRIA and DAMASCUS were the CATALYST FOR THE START of the MODERN End Time Middle East; and it is my supposition that that it will be the CATAYLST FOR THE END.

The END TIME will happen (somewhere) ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS. ************

I am under the belief that Sir Mark Sykes had some VERY GOOD PLAN or proposal which will enable the FORMATION of a WHOLE ARAB EMPIRE to be realized; and that the plan would only be possible by FOLLOWING HIS ADVICE and leaving all to him. Hence my course of action. -------Fuad al-Khatib (personal representative of King Hussein bin Ali-1917) Dont you know the British? I TRUST THEM ABSOLUTELY!

THE BURDEN OF DAMASCUS. Behold Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it SHALL BE a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are FORSAKEN: they shall be for flocks which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. The FORTRESS SHALL CEASE from EPHRAIM, and the KINGDOM from DAMASCUS, and the remnant from SYRIA: they shall be as the GLORY of the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, saith the Lord of Hosts. Isaiah 17:1-3
