ISIS Leader to USA: ‘Soon We Will be in Direct Confrontation’ (CNSNews.com) - Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), issued a rare audio message back on January 21 in which he flatly stated his group’s intention to march on Baghdad and move into “direct confrontation” with the United States. “Our last message is to the Americans. Soon we will be in direct confrontation, and the sons of Islam have prepared for such a day,” Baghdadi said. “So watch, for we are with you, watching.” To continue reading CNS article click here It's an article that makes one want to sit up and pay attention. |

I wonder if this means they will attack our embassies in the Middle East or if they mean here in America?

That's what I'm wondering too, Rieom. Maybe both? What are they doing about those people that are in our Embassy? Anyone heard anything? Are they evacuating them yet? There'll be more blood on this Administration's hands if not. Are they even taking this threat seriously?
Just in case, we're locked and loaded over here.

There are a few ways to look at this.
the first is that there may very well be a confrontation with that embassy, should ISIS take Baghdad.
I still think that scenario is unlikely, but given the amount of support they've received from Sunnis on their way south, it wouldn't surprise me if their bolstered numbers made that a possiblity, either.
The second, though, and perhaps more likely, is that they're referring to the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate, which will bring the whole world into conflict.
I've elaborated on this a little in the update on my thread ("Assyria Rising") - but to sum up, Sunnis believe that a regional caliphate must be established, and that in turn will result in the return of the Mahdi.
The return of the Mahdi is said to lead to the establishment of a global Islamic Caliphate.

I can see all of those scenarios. The second, especially. Didn't Immadinnerjacket claim to have seen the Mahdi and apparently, he lives in a well somewhere over there in Iran or Iraq? I haven't seen anything written about that lately.
Maybe I'm jumping the gun here and thinking too far ahead, but the majority of the extreme Muslim hardliners will be destroyed in the Psalm83 battle. So, since it appears as though Psalm 83 is very near, would they even have time to establish a Caliphate?
I guess that's anyones guess and a wait and see.

Well, they are definitely doing all these things for something. I think it will be clearer as time goes on.
Shiloh, how does one live in a well? Is it dried up?

I guess so....lol....unless he's floating around on a raft in there or doing the backstroke. I thought that was one of the most bizarre things I ever read. At first, I thought it was a joke but then there were numerous articles about it from different sources.
