Spain is currently rotating President of the EU

Spain just took over command of the UN troops in Lebanon stationed on Israel's northern border

King Juan Carlos, Commander in Chief of Spain's military forces and was just in Lebanon inspecting the troops last week

Netanyahu said last week he want Spain and Italy to mediate with Syria. Both Moratinos, Spain's FM, Berlusconi, of Italy (both were just in Israel) and Netanyahu said they expected negotiations to begin in a couple of weeks......

The ties between Spain and Saudi Arabia are of particular interest. They are mentioned together in prophecy, in the Gog/Magog invasion, and in Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 38:13 speaks of Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish and its young lions (colonies)

Sheba and Dedan are easily identifiable as areas within Saudi Arabia, which will not be part of the Invading Coalition against Israel, but allied with Tarshish and her colonies.

So who are the "merchants of Tarshish" and her colonies or young lions?

Tarshish is a reference to the European area around the Meditteranean Sea, with her superior naval and sea-faring vessels which made her an ocean traveling merchant. The primary country involved in this trade and home of the most prominent ports was... Spain. Many believe that this passage is a indirect reference to the USA in prophecy as we are "young lions" since we were a colony/colonized by Europeans.

This connection between Spain (Tarshish) and Saudi Arabia ( Sheba, Dedan) is quite compelling. It appears as if almost all of the pieces in Ezekiel 38 are aligning exactly as foretold.....

Ezekiel also implies that as the massive invading force moves toward Israel that the response of Saudi Arabia and the Western nations will be to simply inquire as to their intent. It seems that nobody responds directly on Israel's behalf to help.

.Fortunately, God never needs help to implement His plans...

things are perking nicely

While most of us are preoccupied with the disaster n Haiti, the world goes on, and things are perking nicely in the middle east, and one day, soon, it will boil over. Are you ready?

According the haaretz.com China called for more diplomacy in Iran last week. China's UN ambassador Zhang Yesui said it was too early to contemplate new sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt sensitive nuclear fuel work, and called for more diplomacy. China and Russia have been more reluctant to impose sanctions on Iran than the other four powers.

While the hours and days slip by, the U.S. State Department called Iran's response to a proposal by six major powers to enrich uranium for a research reactor in Tehran was "inadequate.", and diplomats said Iran issued a formal response rejecting an international proposal that would have it ship abroad material it would need to make a nuclear warhead, Iran works.

Also, according jpost.com, Iran ordered attacks on a Israeli convoy on Monday. Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Muhammad Najjar vowed to take revenge on Israel over Ali-Muhammadi's assassination. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Israel of being behind the assassination, which he said had been carried out in "Zionist style."
The sources in Amman pointed out that the attack on the Israeli diplomatic convoy had been carried out in a way similar to the assault on the slain Iranian professor.

"We can see Iran's fingerprints on the roadside bombing,"

the sources said.

"The investigation is continuing in various directions."

On Reuters:

Iran's defense minister warned on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic could strike back at Western warships in the Gulf if it were attacked, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

US spy agencies are updating intelligence on Iran amid growing evidence Tehran has pushed forward with nuclear weapons research but has yet to relaunch its bomb program in full, US officials said on Tuesday.
Analysts from across the US intelligence community have been finalizing a revised national intelligence estimate (NIE) that was expected to bring the United States more into line with its European allies about the state of Iran's nuclear program.

And hard on the heels of that Revelation comes this teaser from Yahoo News;

In a series of hearings before Congress, the Obama administration is trying to ease a jittery public's concerns about security, and answer challenges from Republicans who say the administration has not done enough to make the country safe

Well... talk's cheap... And our politos are good at it.

No news is not good news...

No news is not good news...
I spent 3 hours looking at the news, and, perusing that show on TV where the fat folks compete for the crown of the most weight lost. I’ve come to the conclusion that that there is not much hard news. Most of it is just talk, opinion, and supposition. I’ve also come to believe that most people look best with their cloth on, and with their mouths shut.

That said; I leave you with these parting thoughts:
