There are a couple of articles in the news this week that show a shift in focus from Iran to Syria.

Is this a shift from the staging of Ezekiel to Psalm 83?

I’m not sure but we know that the Psalm 83 war must occur before Ezekiel’s.  Syria was also a major concern during the Iraq war, if you remember, there was even intelligence that might be where the missing WMD’s ended up.

It is critical to understand who is involved with each conflict and makes up the alliances for each.

Psalms 83…Preview of a Coming Attraction

The next prophecy related war will be the Psalm 83 conflict with the, I believe, related Isaiah 17:1 prophecy as well.

Isaiah 17

An Oracle Against Damascus

¹ An oracle concerning Damascus:
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.

US: Time may come for special nuke probe of Syria

At IAEA meeting, Iranian official says reported Israeli strike on Syrian nuclear facility 3 years ago is the “real issue,” claims Damascus has fallen victim to a “vicious circle of endless questions and allegations.”

VIENNA — A US envoy on Thursday suggested time was running out for Syria to cooperate with a UN atomic agency probe of alleged secret nuclear activities before the agency invokes its seldom-used authority to call for a special inspection — a possible prelude to UN Security Council involvement.

Rising to Syria’s defense, a senior Iranian diplomat accused the organization — the International Atomic Energy Agency — of harassing Syria by leveling false allegations in collusion with Israel and its allies.

The two officials spoke as the 35-nation atomic agency board meeting turned its attention from the agency’s probe of Iran’s nuclear activities to suspicions that Syria has a hidden nuclear program.

Three years ago, IAF warplanes reportedly bombed what the US says was a nearly finished nuclear reactor, launching an agency investigation. After an initial visit to the site, agency inspectors have not been allowed to return — or visit other suspect sites — and the agency’s chief, Yukiya Amano, says Syria’s lack of cooperation could mean that information sought by the agency could be lost with the passage of time.

Iranian envoy Ali Asghar Soltanieh told the board that Israel’s attack is the real issue and Syria has become targeted by a “vicious circle of endless questions and allegations.”

Syria denies hiding nuclear activities.

But Glyn Davies, the chief US delegate to the agency, told the meeting that, unless Syria ends its stonewalling, the IAEA must increasingly “consider all available measures and authorities to pursue the verification assurances the international community seeks” — diplomatic language for a special inspection.

Only twice has the atomic agency ever called for or carried out a special inspection, which gives it authority for countrywide inspections of known or suspect nuclear activities.

Romania asked to be inspected in 1992 to show that the post-communist government had no nuclear-weapons aspirations. A year later, the agency asked for a special inspection in North Korea — a request turned down by the country, which continued with its secret development of nuclear weapons.

Refusal by Syria to allow a special inspection would allow the board to refer the issue to the UN Security Council, which then could issue a reprimand, pass a resolution demanding compliance and ultimately pass the kind of sanctions Iran is now under for refusing to heed demands to curb nuclear activities that could be used both to generate energy or make weapons.
