Assad threatens to attack TA in case of NATO strike
In meeting with Turkish FM, Syrian president discusses possibility of NATO strike, says 'I won't need more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets to Golan to fire at Tel Aviv'
Syrian President Bashar Assad on Tuesday threatened to set fire to the Middle East, and especially Israel, if NATO attacks Syria, the Fars news agency reported.
In a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Assad said: "If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv."
The Syrian president stressed that Damascus will also call on Hezbollah in Lebanon to launch a fierce rocket and missile attack on Israel, such that Israeli intelligence could never imagine.
"All these events will happen in three hours, but in the second three hours, Iran will attack the US warships in the Persian Gulf and the US and European interests will be targeted simultaneously," Assad said.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteActually, it's the Yalkut Shimoni, as the Artscroll says explicitly. The Yalkut Shimoni can be seen here.

The Vilna Gaon, I believe, mentioned a 12-minute war for gog umagog.
I was told in yeshiva that the Gaon said that war of Gog & Magog would last either 3 hours or 3 minutes. Maybe it was 12 minutes. Can you find the exact source for the Gaon?
ReplyDeleteOr is Waxmann the man?
....the Vilna Gaon said that the last war, Milchemet Gog uMagog, is going to last only 12 minutes because they are going to have such weapons....

Yes, Google "Vilna Gaon 12 minutes gog" and you'll get a few results.
ReplyDeleteI also saw a website in Hebrew that says that the Hafetz Hayim says that it will last 3 minutes.
I don't know the source for either.
klishlishi was my hat tip :)
ReplyDeleteso he better be right! :)
I guess I forgot what I translated from Rav Fish here:
ReplyDeleteSee the text of the Gr"a on the Mechilta (Shemot 14:20) and in the Midrash Talpiyot on the entry "Gog", that the Gog Umagog War will begin 3 hours before sunrise on Hoshana Rabba, and will last only 3 hours. And for this reason, we pray the prayer "Hoshana Shalosh Sha'ot".
see here:

Nu, a war so short whether it be 12 minutes or three hours could only end with such finality if the war is nuclear. At this time neither Syria nor Turkey are nuclear powers. Iran is really trying hard to become one at this time, but in part because of Stuxnet it has not yet achieved its goal. The wild card in all this, as Rav Levi Sa'adiah Nachmani said over 15 years ago is North Korea. They have a ton of weapons grade Uranium and Plutonium. And when Olmert was PM, Syria and North Korea were caught with their pants down building a nuclear bomb factory. So bye bye bomb factory. Curious, in Rav Nachmani's discussion of this issue he quotes the pasuk in Ha'azinu, "For fire will have been kindled in My nostrils and blaze to the lowest part of She'ol. I shall consume the earth and its produce, and set ablaze what is founded on mountains." At this point he said that She'ol is a reference to Seoul, that would be in South Korea not North Korea. Now what was Rav Nachmani referring to? I am sure he was saying that the nuclear material for Syria and Iran would come from North Korea not South Korea. So why mention Seoul?
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I wrote a blog post "Korea is in the Twilight Zone." I postulated that from high noon on Yom Shishi, the year 5751, the world would slowly enter Yom SheKulo Shabbat. This would start to happen about 101 degrees to the east of Jerusalem, for when it is high noon in Jerusalem, the stars have already come out about 101 degrees to the east of Jerusalem at the same time it is sunset 90 degrees to the east of Jerusalem. So that includes about 11 degrees of longitude which are in the twilight zone. The only country that is completely within the twilight zone is South Korea. Yet, the stars come out line is less than two degrees to the east of Kobe, Japan. So to travel about 100 degrees in the 250 years between 5751 and the year 6000, one degree on the globe enters Yom she'kulo Shabbat every 2.5 years. So right on schedule when Kobe, Japan entered yom she'kulo Shabbat between four and five years after the end of 5750, Kobe experienced a massive earthquake. So while the Korean Peninsula began to cross into Yom She'kulo Shabbat in 5771, Specifically Seoul, South Korea enters Yom She'kulo Shabbat in 5775, the coming Sabbatical year. I would venture an educated guess that this very short nuclear war will take place at that time, during the 2nd and final stage of Gog UMagog specifically in the Sabbatical year 5775.
1/3 will of the world will die ! 1/3 will wander 1/3 will be in famine isnt it true the gaon said this too on the 12 minute final war of gog umagog . this I think is the year .
ReplyDeleteI am a descendant of the Vilna gaon on my mother's fathers side. Harry Cohn, who began Columbia Pictures with his brothers, ( my grandfather was one of his brothers) in 1920, had the forsight to know even before we got into WW 2, that the nazi's would not win. Many of his movies at that time showed this also. My point though is that I was given some special knowledge and insight from the genetics in my family that tells me and continues to do so to this very day, that there will indeed be much destruction to come soon. I have predicted the earthquakes in March 1 week before they happened, and in 1988, I painted a watercolor that showed the twin buildings with airplanes being flown into them however, I had no idea what this meant at the time. I do not know why, but the Vilna Gaon has used me in the past to give me this knowledge, but it is not always nice to know all these things before they happen since I can not do anything about it.
