Will The ‘Next 9/11’ Be ‘Nuclear Terrorism’? Did the USA demand gold to allow terrorists ‘safe passage’?

From Public Domain Pictures

Us President Donald Trump stated that the group calling itself the Islamic State has been 100% defeated in Syria:

President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to announce the fall of the last sliver of the IS caliphate, a small collection of tents and ruined buildings in the eastern Syrian village of Baghuz.

“We just took over, you know, you kept hearing it was 90 percent, 92 percent, the caliphate in Syria. Now it’s 100 percent,” he said while visiting with U.S. troops at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.

“You saw what happened. Everybody saw. We have the whole thing,” he added. “We did that in a much shorter period of time than it was supposed to be.”

Rebuke from YPG

But the comments, which barely caused a stir among the troops in attendance, quickly drew a sharp rebuke on Twitter from YPG spokesman Zana Amedi, who berated the president’s “ignorance” regarding the battlefront as “abhorrent.”

“For weeks, several #SDF officials made it clear that civilians remaining in Daesh-held territory would be protected and their safety would have to be ensured before moving on to the last pocket,” Amedi wrote, using the Arabic acronym for the terror group. “Victory doesn’t seem to be coming in next days.”

And a spokesman for the YPG, a Kurdish militia that forms the majority of the U.S.-backed force, predicted that the fight would not end for at least a week. 02/28/19 https://www.voanews.com/a/trump-again-claims-victory-over-is-caliphate/4808987.html

As regular readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, for years I have written that the group calling itself the Islamic State would be defeated.

But I also said that some with connections to it would remain around. And that some would be expected to be involved in terrorism.

Apparently, by giving the USA some gold, more Islamic State supporters are being granted safe passage:

As the remaining pockets of ISIS fighters faced imminent defeat in northeast Syria, the United States allegedly gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse: give us your massive caches of gold — or die.

According to reports by Syrian state news agency SANA, U.S. forces struck a deal with ISIS whereby the terrorist group would give up 50 tons of gold across eastern Syria’s Deir el-Zour province in exchange for safe passage.

Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah reports that local sources claim U.S. Army helicopters have already transferred the gold from the U.S. forces’ base in Kobani, the Kurdish-controlled city that lies close to Syria’s northern border with Syria. A portion of the gold was also distributed to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which dominates the U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). …

During the destruction of ISIS-controlled Raqqa in Syria by the U.S.-led coalition, a secret deal was struck with the group that granted members safe passage as it evacuated the area. The deal, uncovered by the BBC, ensured the survival and freedom of many top ISIS leaders and a number of foreign fighters. 02/27/19 https://themindunleashed.com/2019/02/50-tons-gold-syria-isis.html

Terrorism by ISIS terrorists is something that the USA should give more consideration to. Getting gold from them does not stop their terror-oriented motivation.

Furthermore, nuclear terrorism is something that may well hit the USA. Whether one or more true nuclear bombs, emp devices, or even so-called dirty bombs, the USA is vulnerable.

The risks for nuclear terrorism are real:

As presidential candidates hit the campaign trail this year, voters should ask them: “What’s your plan for keeping nuclear weapons and the materials to make them out of terrorist hands?” Every candidate who is serious about national security should have an answer to that question; every president for more than two decades, including Donald Trump, has described nuclear terrorism as one of the gravest dangers the United States faces. …

The United Nations and other international institutions have not made strengthening nuclear security a priority as many once hoped they would. The “action plans” these organizations agreed to at the last nuclear security summit have led to little action. … terrorist use of drones and cyber attacks — pose worrisome, ever-evolving threats that require ever-improving responses. 01/29/19 https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/426689-presidential-candidates-need-a-plan-for-reducing-nuclear-terrorism

What triggered this particular post was seeing the following today:

Conditions Are Ripe For Mass Destruction In America That Will Exceed 9/11 – With Americans Divided To Distraction Among Ourselves, Will The ‘Next 9/11’ Be ‘Nuclear Terrorism’?

As the War on Terrorism winds down against ISIS in Syria and the Taliban in Afghanistan, as Americans forget the years of unity following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York City and the Pentagon that killed 3,000, and embrace the new politics of divisive hyper-partisan quarreling, obsessed to distraction by our cold civil war — the conditions are ripe for another act of spectacular terrorism, another 9/11, that may well exceed the first in mass destruction. …

For the next 9/11, look to Yemen’s “Houthis” so-called by the Western press for their late leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi — which misnomer displays the same kind of ignorance that blinded Washington to the threat from al Qaeda, before 9/11. …

Ansar Allah’s motto, displayed on their flag, says it all: “God is great! Death to the U.S.! Death to Israel! Curse the Jews and victory to Islam!” …

According to Phillip Smyth of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Iran regards all Shiites in the Middle East, including Ansar Allah, as “integral elements to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).” Ansar Allah leaders receive ideological education in Iran. Iranian and Hezbollah military advisers help train Ansar Allah fighters. 02/27/19 http://allnewspipeline.com/The_Next_911_Dr_Peter_Pry.php

Yes, terrorist incidents connected to Iran, including people from Yemen, are a potential threat.

As far as those once part of the Islamic State go, consider the following:

8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel. 9 All the people will know — Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria — … 11 Therefore the Lord shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on, 12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. (Isaiah 9:8-9, 11-12)

Ephraim and Samaria are references to the British-descended peoples and the USA.

The Islamic State is also known as ISIS, meaning the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. So yes, there are many Syrians who have been part of the Islamic State.

The old Worldwide Church of God (WCG) taught:

Many nations make no bones about their connections to terrorist groups. Syria, Libya, Iraq and South Yemen all see no objection in directly aiding terrorism. (Taylor D. TERRORISM the Worst Is Yet to Come! Plain Truth, May 1984)

The time will come when terrors will increase in the USA.

How can you be certain of that?

Well, because terrorism was prophesied in the Bible:

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:14-17)

25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)

12 “Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh. (Ezekiel 21:12)

12 Behold, these are the ungodly,Who are always at ease; They increase in riches…19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. (Psalms 73:12,19)

25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, 27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. (Proverbs 1:25-27)

5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way (Ecclesiastes 12:5).

Notice also something from Psalm 83:

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. (Psalms 83:3-8)

Nearly all the above peoples are in lands dominated by Islam–for details of which term means which nation, check out the article Is the Future King of the South Rising Up? The nations that compose the future King of the South are also currently dominated by Islam.

Psalm 83 is very likely to involve terrorism.

Why?

Because taking “crafty counsel” sounds like plotting terrorism. Notice also that a deal will happen involving Assyria, which is prophesied to takeover the USA and UK per Isaiah 10 (see also Germany in Biblical Prophecy).

In the Book of Daniel, the Bible also tells of a deal between the final King of the South of the Middle East and North Africa and Assyrian/European King of the North in Daniel 11:27, and that deal appears to be a little bit prior to the time that the USA is prophesied to be taken over per Daniel 11:39 (see also Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).

Terrorism could involve bombs, dirty bombs, EMP matters, shootings, interfering with the power supply, demonstrations, civil unrest, riots, chemical warfare, biological warfare, and other forms of terrorism.

Many will want to destroy, but are eventually joined by Assyria (for details about Assyria in history see Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History and in prophecy check out Germany in Biblical Prophecy)–Europeans, which generally, do not endorse Islam. Not all terror is or will be related to Islam!

The Europeans will make a destructive deal with those of the Middle East and North Africa. Consider also the following:

22 “Assyria is there, and all her company,
With their graves all around her,
All of them slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the recesses of the Pit,
And her company is all around her grave,
All of them slain, fallen by the sword,
Who caused terror in the land of the living. (Ezekiel 32:22-23)

It would seem that the King of the South will employ some type of warfare and terrorism against the descendants of Israel, and it is likely that Assyria will encourage this. The Bible specifically warns about “terror” as a curse for the descendants of Jacob (Leviticus 26:16; Jeremiah 15:8; Deuteronomy 32:25) and since terrorism has often been used by Islamists, this may be part of how they will contribute to the destruction of the nation of Israel and the Anglo-descended peoples that Psalm 83 and Daniel 11:39 alludes to.

Notice that there is a prophecy involving the future King of the South and future (European) King of the North making a deceptive deal:

27 Both these kings’ hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time. (Daniel 11:27)

While these two kings eventually turn against each other (Daniel 11:40-43), the Bible shows that the USA (and presumably its Anglo-Saxon descended allies) gets eliminated prior to that:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)

The strongest fortress in the 21st century belong to the USA. Because of deals involving the nations that support the future King of the South and future (European) King of the North, it is clear that they will work together to weaken then eliminate the USA.

Terrorism is a way to do that.

What is going to happen to the USA relatively soon will be so much worse than 9/11/2001 ever was (cf. Psalm 83:4-8; Daniel 11:39). Do not wait until it is too late to respond spiritually, so that you may be protected physically. Bringing in Syrian and certain other migrants, which the USA says it will do, sadly will likely result in some of them fulfilling some of the prophecies.

Without national repentance, the USA is doomed.

Since the USA seems to be going more into sin, national repentance seems unlikely.

Yet, personal repentance is still possible.

If so, what do you plan to do about it?
