Luke
21: [25] And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28]
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

War Contingency Plan
Every nation has a war contingency plan. And, the smaller the
country, the more imperative the requirement for a detailed war
contingency evacuation plan. Israel began to formulate,
plan, and build her evacuation area in the early fifties. She chose the
only reasonable zone, the Negev wilderness. The Negev comprises more
than one-third of the total land area of
Israel, beginning just north of Beersheva, and extending all the
way southward to the Gulf of Aqaba. Why was the Negev the
only reasonable area? From the historical prospective, the majority of
Israel's major conquerors have come down from the north. Even
Nebuchadnezzar, whose great empire began to the east of Israel in
Babylonia, first went northwest through southern Syria to eventually
attack Israel from the north. Once Israel had signed a peace treaty
with Egypt, and then with Jordan, it became evident to her political and
military leaders, that they had been correct in selecting the Negev.
At
present, it appears very unlikely that an attack will be made against
Israel from any zone other than the Syria-Lebanon area. Some minister,
no one knows who, during the early part of the last century, visited
Petra in Jordan, and formed an erroneous opinion, which has become very
popular among many teachers of prophecy. Whoever he was, his military
training was sadly lacking, for he looked Petra over, and decided it
would make a great defensive position for Israel to occupy, that is, if
she ever had to flee her homeland. As a graduate of a military academy,
and a retiree from the USAF-NSA, I can assure you, Petra is the worst
possible place to evacuate the survivors of a successful Arab attack
against Israel. I doubt if the one who first advanced this idea
actually
walked all the way through Petra's narrow northern entrance
and then continued to walk out on the vast open plain to the southwest.
Petra may have been a great place to defend in biblical times with the
weaponry of those days, but it would be
impossible to defend today. But there are other compelling reasons why
Israel would never flee to Petra. There are no natural water sources in
that area, and water collection by its
ingenious ancient inhabitants from desert thunderstorms was
never able to support a population of more than 20,000. And food
production in the soil horizons of this area could never support the
evacuation of one-third of Israel's population. It is also a certainty
that the modern day occupants of Jordan would not offer to help Israel
escape the Antichrist. But the belief that Israel will flee to Petra
has become so popularized by many prominent ministers, it makes it very
difficult to dissuade most followers of prophetic events. However, the
fact that Israel has spent billions and billions of dollars turning the
Negev into the most fortified zone on the earth, gives me the growing
assurance that this is the place the woman Israel, who
is described as going into the wilderness in the 12th Chapter of
Revelation, will soon end up for the last three and one-half years of
the tribulation period. In the next prophetic update,
Lord willing, I will discuss the military developments that turned the
Negev into the best prepared evacuation zone in the
world.
