From Mark Pitrone...
Intercessors,
This comes from a trusted friend of a ministry I am associated with. The portion titled "History Lesson" is especially important to read. At the end, it talks about the Psalm 83 war. If you're not familiar with this, let me explain. . . It is a war involving a confederacy of nations that has never joined together until now so it could conceivably happen in our lifetime. I will list the nations mentioned along with their 21st century names as given to me by some Biblical scholars.
Edom = Esau = Palestinian Refugees (PR) and Southern Jordanians
Ishmaelites = Saudi Arabians
Moab = PR and Southern Jordanians
Hagrites = Egyptians
Gebal = Northern Lebanese
Ammon = PR and Northern Jordanians
Amalek = Arabs south of Israel
Philistia = PR and Hamas of Gaza
Tyre = Hezbollah and Southern Lebanon
Assyria = Syria and perhaps Northern Iraq

A Watchman’s Word to America

We are at the Rubicon
Webster’s dictionary defines the word “Rubicon,” as “A boundary or limiting line; especially one that when crossed commits a person irrevocably.”
A “Rubicon will be reached on August 21, 2010, when Russia announced it will begin loading uranium-packed fuel rods into Iran’s first nuclear power plant, officially classifying the reactor as a “nuclear installation.”
Once this “Rubicon” has been crossed on the 21st of August, any attempt by either Israel or America to attack the Iranian nuclear reactor could possibly spread a radio-active cloud across major portions of the Middle East.
Effectively, once August 21st, has come and gone with no action by Israel or the United States the radical government of Iran has a clear and unobstructed path to acquiring nuclear weapons.
If Israel or America Fail to Attack Iran what Could Follow?
What will the possible effects of a nuclear Iran be on the Sunni Muslim nations such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman, and Qatar who are geographically situated directly across the Persian Gulf from Iran within easy rocket range of Iranian nuclear missiles?
Will they continue to align themselves with America, a nation who has consciously allowed Iran to develop nuclear weapons?
Once Iran is a nuclear power and begins to threaten the Saudi’s and other Sunni Muslim nations, do you believe they will trust their survival into the hands of a President who sat on his hands and did nothing to effectively stop Iran when he clearly had the power to do so?
If you were the leader of one of the Sunni Muslim nations would you seek to hedge your bets and possibly seek an accommodation with Iran and begin to turn away from the US towards Russia?
One thing is for certain. This day will soon come and the first item on Ahmadinejad’s list will be to seek to force the Saudi’s and other oil producing nations to stop accepting dollars in payment for oil. He will demand they accept Euros, rubles, or even a basket of currencies – anything but dollars!
Once this begins to happen, America’s financial system will collapse because the dollar will no longer be the world’s reserve currency. America will no longer be able to roll over its massive debts to foreign governments, much less continue to borrow trillions to fund our massive unsustainable deficits.
Russia & Iran the Key Players in the Gog & Magog War
Once Iran becomes a nuclear power in the Middle East it will become an irresistible force with the power to back up its threats. Remember, Russia is the nation who has supplied the technology to develop Iran’s nuclear facilities. So with Russia behind them their threats become more menacing and have great force and credibility.
Also remember in Scripture in the Gog and Magog war Russia and Iran are allies, just as they are today, so we are witnessing prophecy unfold before our very eyes.
Just look at what has happened in the Middle East since Obama took office and the Bush administration left. Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza have all become surrogate nations of Iran. Armed, funded, and influenced by Iran. Hezbollah effectively now controls Lebanon, while Hamas now controls Gaza. Both are surrogates of Iran.
Over the past six months Turkey realized the utter weakness of America and the EU and suddenly turned and became allies of Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Russia.
Now they are openly aligning themselves militarily with Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza.
Will Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, and Oman be any different?
History Lesson
In 1972, when President Nixon was elected to office he was faced with a severe financial crisis. The US was technically bankrupt. At that time the dollar was backed by and convertible into gold, and nations were bombarding the US Treasury demanding the US redeem their dollars for gold.
The problem was the nations of the world had more dollars that our Treasury had gold.
So what did President Nixon do? First, he nullified our agreement with the nations to convert their dollars into gold. However, this left him with a much bigger problem.
In order to maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and to have the ability to borrow and print unlimited amounts of money, Nixon had to find a way to force all the nations of the world to hold dollars as their reserve currency.
To accomplish this end, he sent Henry Kissinger to Saudi Arabia in order to make a covenant with Islam. This was the covenant.
If the Saudi’s would accept only dollars in payment for oil, then the US military would guarantee to defend the House of Saud and keep them in power against any and all enemies.
What did this covenant do?
This covenant insured that the dollar was now backed by oil; consequently if you were a German and you needed oil you could not pay for it in Marks. You had to sell Marks and buy dollars in order to purchase oil. The same held true for every nation on the planet.
No dollars – No Oil!
Over the ensuing years America developed two primary market exchanges where commodities of every kind were traded on the world market. Wheat, rice, corn, barley, oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, and the list goes on and on.
However, there was one requirement if you wanted to purchase wheat, rice, corn or any other commodity. You could only pay for it in - Dollars!
No dollars – No Wheat!
This system has enabled the US to borrow billions and now trillions from many nations, because they have no choice but to hold a major portion of their currency reserves in dollars to purchase needed oil and commodities.
However, if there is a shift by Saudi Arabia, or other major oil producing nations such as Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and other Sunni oil producing nations to begin to accept other currencies in payment for oil, what do you believe will happen to the value of the US dollar?
Nations will begin to sell dollars and buy other currencies, or in the case of the EU they will utilize their own currency Euros as opposed to dollars.
The process of selling off dollar assets, such as US Treasuries has already begun with China, the largest holder of US Treasuries reducing its holding by $56 billion over the last 60 days.
When nations are able to use other currencies to pay for oil and commodities we will experience not only a world- wide dollar crisis, but the value of the dollar will plunge to unimaginable depths.
How will this affect your lifestyle?
The US economy will crumble, the lifestyle we have known will disappear, our ability to spend and borrow will dry up, the stock market will crash, paper assets will be worth toilet paper, our ability to purchase 11 million barrels of foreign oil will vanish, our capacity to fund our military will dry up, there will be social unrest in America and throughout the world on a scale unknown in modern times.
What will be the Answer?
Exactly what was prophesied in the Bible; a one world currency and the formation of a one world government with the world divided into 10 regions or kingdoms, ruled over by 10 King’s, just as prophesied in Daniel and Revelation.
What about Israel?
First, we are going to witness an all out push by the US, the Quartet, the UN, and the Muslim nations to exert unrelenting pressure on Israel to divide the land of Israel; to divide Jerusalem, and to create a new Muslim nation – Palestine.
Second, the Isaiah 17 – Psalm 83 War is on the horizon. Will Israel attack Iran before August 21st? We do not know. We do not know what event in the Middle East will spark the coming prophesied biblical war where Damascus, Syria is destroyed as a city never again to rise; where Amman Jordan and the area around it become pastures without inhabitants; where Lebanon lies in ruins, and Gaza is without a single inhabitant, and Israel’s major cities suffer great destruction from thousands of rockets and missiles?
We only know the Isaiah 17-Psalm 83 is prophesied to come and its time is near.
We are about to cross a “Rubicon,” on August 21, 2010!
Jesus admonished us to “understand the times and seasons.”
Watch and Pray fervently for God’s mercy on America and Israel!
