The ultimate goal is ISIS has always been the destruction of Israel
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” Luke 21:20
The allied rocket strike attacks on ISIS in Syria and Iraq have certainly slowed down their forward momentum, but has not even come close to stopping them. The Russian Times today reports that the Islamic State has seized it’s second oil field in Syria in a week:
Islamic State militants claim to have gained control of the Jahar gas field in central Homs province from the Syrian army. The militants posted pictures on social media boasting of the capture, which they now consider part of their ‘Caliphate.’ The photos depict an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) flag raised over the field as well as captured Syrian tanks and weapons, says SITE, a jihadist web monitoring service. IS says they have captured two tanks, seven four-wheel drive cars, and several machine guns after clashes with regime forces. Last Thursday, the insurgents took control of the Sha’ar gas field, where they killed at least 30 pro-government soldiers, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The mere fact that ISIS is still about to do that after a month of
allied bombing shows you how ineffective the strikes truly are. But this
battle that has been raging for months now is about one thing and one
thing only – Israel. Today the Islamic State made the announcement that
revealed their true intentions.
CAIRO, NOVEMBER 3 – The Islamic State (ISIS) has issued a statement saying that an Islamic Caliphate will be established in the Sinai, calling it the ”first step towards the invasion of Jerusalem”.
The statement threatens Egyptian security forces, which were suffered
an attack on October 24. ISIS urged jihadists in the region to ”destroy
police checkpoints and stations, launch RPGs at their gatherings and
show the world that the Rule of God must be imposed”.
As the prophets have declared, Jerusalem is the end game in this
spiritual battle. Everything that is happening right now will reach it’s
true fulfillment in the battle of Armageddon during the time of Jacob’s
trouble.
“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7
For now, the Islamic State seems to be on a preordained unstoppable
path that began with the formation of a caliphate in Iraq and ends in an
attack on Jerusalem. Just how much they will be able to accomplish only
God knows. But they are giving it their best shot which so far has been
surprisingly effective. These are the days written of by the
prophets, the actors have taken the stage as we watch the play unfold.
Birth pangs, prophecy, and the blessed hope.
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28
