We interrupt this blog post to bring you a prophecy update concerning the impending third world war. Please check your Eth Cepher to corroborate the information given here, and compare with recent world events as set forth herein.
There is much discussion about an upcoming Psalm 83 war. I am not one who subscribes to that particular theory, for many reasons. However, there is scripture which brings war footing to bear.
Amoc 1:1-5
The words of Amoc, who was among the herdmen of Teqoa, which he saw concerning Yisra’el in the days of Uzziyahu king of Yahudah, and in the days of Yarov`am the son of Yo’ash king of Yisra’el, two years before the earthquake. 2 And he said, YAHUAH will roar from Tsiyon, and utter his voice from Yerushalayim; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Karmel shall wither. 3 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gil`ad with threshing instruments of iron: 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Chaza’el, which shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad. 5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Qiyr, says YAHUAH.
So, we being our discussion of the prophecy with a couple of timing issues. First, we see that this prophecy is given two years before the earthquake. Let’s keep that in mind as we watch the playing out of the other prophecies, set forth here. YAHUAH will roar from Tsiyon when the habitations of the shepherds mourns, and the top of Karmel withers.
Israel is well-known as the land (habitation) of the shepherds:
Bere’shiyth 46:31
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade has been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 34 That ye shall say, Your servants' trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Our marker therefore for the beginning of these prophecies is when Israel mourns and the top of Karmel withers. On December 2, 2010, the largest fire in the history of Israel began and burned for five days on Mount Carmel, killing 44 prison service cadets, teachers, police and firefighters, who died when a bus carrying the cadets was engulfed by the fire.
Consider the exact language in this report:
The Carmel Fire started on Dec. 2, 2010 and burned for five days, destroying 6,000 acres of northern Israel’s expansive Carmel Forest. In June, the government released a harsh report in criticizing the conduct of its agencies during the fire.
But even as the country continues to mourn the fire’s dead, the forest is being reborn. Trees are regenerating on their own, new species are being planted, protection against future fires is expanding and hikers are returning to once-charred trails. Israel’s fire services also have grown.

Karmel withered and the habitation of the shepherds mourned. The prophecy therefore began in 2010. What then would follow?
