Time for Netanyahu: Gold Can Erupt by August

‘This report focuses on the growing interplay between international politics and religion, particularly as it affects the price of GOLD.’

Those were the words the writer used to launch our previous report, No. 74, entitled:

“

RUSSIA

vamps

IRAN

, SNUBS ‘GOLD CARTEL’, confirms end-time prophecy”

We return to our last report, published at the end of last year. Is it not remarkable how the topics of

IRAN

and RADICAL ISLAM have dominated the headlines since the New Year? If international politicians were not attempting to deflect Iranian plans to develop nuclear weapons, they have been busy fending off angry Moslem demonstrators. The latter were venting their indignation at cartoons depicting the venerated prophet Mohammed as a warmonger. Unsurprisingly, nothing better illustrates the distinctly different nature of the God they worship, than the demonic carryings on of those devoted to his cause. Public demonstrations of anger and hatred may have been a revelation to readers who previously knew nothing about either ISLAM or the Q’URAN. However, to bible-believing Christians who have taken the trouble to study history, or to Jews and Hindus who have lived in proximity to followers of the ‘Prophet’ through times of tumult, the latter’s response will have come as no surprise.

Again, in our previous report, we described how

Russia

had taken the fateful decision to become ‘Islam’s most faithful ally’. Putin announced his country’s ‘volte-face’ while on a specially-arranged visit to the hot spot of

Chechnya

. This is a predominantly Sunni-Moslem state situated within

Russia

’s own borders where a civil war has been raging for over two decades. Putin chose to ignore the damage his swing to Islam could wreak on relationships with the

and Europe, seeking rather to mend fences with his subjects. This was to avoid upsetting his Islamic trading partners. His prime motivation is to make profitable use of his country’s vast historic investment in men and machines for the manufacture of arms. This time

Russia

looks set to go the whole hog. She proposes selling short-range missiles to

Iran

, while simultaneously helping them ‘go nuclear’. He pretends the technology will be limited to the generation of power. Both parties know it won’t. Now he is being made to walk a tightrope. The UN is threatening sanctions against

Iran

if they proceed with a nuclear program in the absence of international inspection.

Russia

meanwhile attempts to save

Iran

’s hide by charting a compromise whereby enrichment of nuclear fuel takes place in

Russia

. This will be only the start of Putin’s problems. In due course his flirtations will propel his country to the end-time crisis described in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39. We dealt with this in some detail in our last report. See ‘The Ezekiel Option’ by Joel C Rosenberg.

In an attempt to express her new-found identity as an active member of the ‘Middle East Oil Producers Gang’,

Russia

proceeded to flex her muscles by threatening to cut off gas supplies to neighboring

Georgia

, knowing full well the state acted as a conduit for power to the rest of Europe. What her act of bravado did was give erstwhile customers a ‘wake-up call’, jolting them to fast-track research into alternative sources of energy. In the US Bush was adamant. His country is going ‘nuclear’. The price of Uranium promptly made a new high of $38,5 per lb – fast approaching its 1980 all-time peak of $43. In order to match oil at $60, it can still vault to $65/lb by end-2006. By then oil will doubtless be higher as well. (Hold onto SXR – Uranium One, now $7.07 a share or R44.00. We will discuss them later.)

While often the butt of cartoonists in the past, certain verses in the Q’URAN promise suicide bombers a surfeit of sex - a relatively unlimited supply of ‘virgins in paradise’ - due to followers of the prophet prepared to sacrifice lives in defense of beliefs. One of their highest callings is to annihilate Jews and blot out

ISRAEL

. That applies no less to nations under ISLAMIC LAW than it does to individual Moslems seeking to fulfill a religious mission. After the recent spate of attacks, one wag issued a warning to the effect that supplies of heavenly virgins had temporarily run out so the ‘faithful’ should hold their fire .To those brought up under Western culture where reason, logic and compromise are the order of everyday life, the drives of ISLAM are ‘out of the box’. Unfortunately they are all too real and unless strategies are devised to meet and beat these multiplying patterns of behavior, the West will rapidly fall victim to Islamic domination. Read ‘Mosques and Miracles’, by Stuart Robinson. The book comes highly recommended by evangelists Peter Wagner, Michael Cassidy, and David Pawson.

Jews, on the other hand, have faced similar threats of extermination since the days of Abraham. First it was the Babylonians. Then it was the Romans. Their Empire attempted to obliterate all vestiges of Judaism following destruction of the Second Temple in the first century AD. In later times the role of destroyer was usurped by the very same Christians who ostensibly came to ‘save’ them in the name of their ‘Messiah’. They accused the Jews of being ‘Christ killers’ – this despite the fact that ‘suffering and death through crucifixion’ had always been God’s plan for his Son from the start. It had been prophesied by Isaiah hundreds of years earlier. Read the Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 53, verse 5. In that sense the actions of the Jewish nation of

ISRAEL

towards their Messiah, were pre-ordained.

Finally the baton of persecution passed to ISLAM, and for centuries Moslem hounding of Jews has been a persistent fact of life wherever minority members of the ‘chosen race’ have found themselves trying to survive. Only the times, places and intensities of persecution, have varied.

The special brand of Islamic radicalism displayed by the latest regime in

Iran

is nothing new. However, what does set it apart is the imminent prospect of

Iran

’s ‘mad mullahs’ acquiring modern-day ‘weapons of mass destruction’. Unlike the untraceable variety yet to be found in

Iraq

, the Iranian version will soon be all too real.

Russian spokesmen freely admit that continued Iranian intransigence is the most likely outcome of ongoing talks. When combined with the ‘do-or-die’ mentality of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the danger going forward calls for careful, hard-nosed counter-action. After the quagmire of

Iraq

, it is doubtful whether the

has either the men, the money or the stomach to repeat the process of military intervention on the ground. More important, in the case of

Iran

, it would have to be substantially up-scaled to guarantee success. Any form of attack – even if limited to air-strikes – would unleash an avalanche of international vitriol. The

is doubtless well aware of the intensity it could assume and certainly would seek to avoid it if possible. Gutless Europeans probably won’t even raise the topic for discussion behind closed doors. That leaves

ISRAEL

. They have most to lose if nothing is done. Their predicament calls for action and a leader. There is such a man but his election would cause a furore. He is ex-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – popularly known as ‘Bibi’. Following Sharon’s defection from Likud, to form new ‘part-of-the-centre’ Kadima with Perez from Labor, Netanyahu took his place as head of right-wing Likud.

This report concerns itself with world-wide, growing threats to the existence of the State of Israel, and the likely influence these could have on upcoming Israeli elections at the end of March.

Based on latest opinion surveys, Likud is trailing way behind Sharon’s successor Olmert, head of Kadima. The latter enjoys overwhelming support and by all accounts will win hands down. But, were Netanyahu suddenly to come roaring in from ‘out field’ – as he has done before - it would cause an international shock of significant proportions. He is known for his hard-line policies. These have been honed. When first elected in 1996 – admittedly against all expectations as now – he blotted his copy book with certain right wing elements in the party by giving in to US pressure on the ‘land –for-peace’ issue. He has vowed it will never happen again. If elected he would probably do his best to regain GAZA. As for making concessions on the ‘West Bank’ issue, giving up ‘Judea and Samaria’ – the biblical ‘Mountains of Israel’ - is absolutely out of the question. Therefore, Palestinian peace talks based on land – if not already dead – will be totally scuppered.

Netanyahu is also the only major political leader in

Israel

who believes unerringly that the State of Israel will be restored to its original biblical boundaries. Pursuing such a policy would run into a brick wall of international opposition and incur the wrath and combined terror of Islam. The political ramifications are considerable. This report conducts a limited study of the arguments for and against – particularly those based on biblical prophesy. Our conclusions will of necessity be somewhat controversial. We will then sketch some likely outcomes. Their impact on world markets could eventually be considerable – negative for equities, positive for precious metals. The writer believes that gold and silver are about to demonstrate their ability to perform as ‘safe havens’ of last resort in times of crisis. They may first correct, but then are set to run.

The greatest stumbling block to resolving the conflicting land claims of Jews and Palestinians faces us head-on when we seek to answer a two-part question.

b. If so, do we believe what it says about giving Jewish people ‘an indisputable right of possession’, to ‘The Land of Israel’?

If our answers to both are negative, we of necessity revert to worldly arguments. These either state that, ‘possession is nine tenths of the law’, or they maintain that feelings and ‘fairness’ take precedence over biblical truth. This is a position adopted by much of the media. It generally states that Palestinians are cruelly oppressed. It further claims they have been dispossessed of their historic native land, stolen from them in various stages since the end of World War II, by an invading Israeli army.

To gain a biblical perspective we need to turn, as it were, to the last page of the book. Who gets it in the end? The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel foretold it hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. We find the relevant words in chapter 11, verse 17 of his book:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘I will gather you from the nations and bring you BACK from the countries where you were scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.”

In order to try and understand how he could utter such a clear-cut prophetic word, we need to view it against the broad expanse of Jewish and world history. In light of present disputes between Islam and

Israel

we include statements made by Islam’s own Prophet Mohammed, prior to his death. We will discover they run counter to the political and religious claims made by his modern-day followers.

More to the point, if we discover that God’s prophetic promises are regularly realized, it will enable us to place current events in proper perspective and gain a modicum of insight as to where we are going. Needless to say, the results could be of great benefit to those who follow markets.
