This is ominous. And this is two days prior to September. September...the month that we have been talking about for some time when it appears that Israel may be tested.
I'm not one to jump to conclusions or the "sky is falling" type, but my concern is very real. I beg my readers to include Israel in your prayers today and tonight and tomorrow and the next day.
And when you pray, please ask that a leader in this country of America will emerge who calls for the full and unconditional defense of the state of Israel.
p.s. I'm praying that an American aircraft carrier is dispatched to the Red Sea to "welcome" the Iranian fleet.

Report: Israel sends 2 warships to Egyptian border
The Israeli Navy (INF) has decided to boost its presence and patrols near Israel's maritime border with Egypt due to a viable terror threat in the area.
Israeli security sources told the Associated Press on Tuesday that two additional warships have been dispatched to Israel's Red Sea border with Egypt. Another source stressed that the operation was routine, telling Reuters that "two naval craft have been sent to the Red Sea. This is not unusual."
On Monday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen Benny Gantz ordered that deployment across the entire southern sector be bolstered, especially in the area near the Israel-Egypt border, following intelligence indicating an imminent threat.
The area adjacent to the border has become the scene of military deployment described by one security source as "unprecedented." The IDF has also deployed advanced technology in the area in order to thwart terror attacks. Still, No changes in security alignments were observed on the Egyptian side of the border.
Military intelligence suggests that an Islamic Jihad terror cell has left the Gaza Strip and intends to infiltrate Israel through Sinai. Minister for Home Front Defense Matan Vilnai has been quoted as saying that the cell may number as many as 10 terrorists.
The security situation in southern Israel has been particularly tense following a series of terror attacks that claimed the lives of eight Israelis in mid-August; as well as several days in which Israel's western Negev communities suffered heavy shelling by Gaza Strip-based terror groups.
Following the terror attack, in which five Egyptian troops were also killed, Israel and Egypt agreed to increase the presence of Cairo troops in the Sinai Peninsula. As a result, some 1,500 Egyptian soldiers deployed across Sinai on Monday.
Meanwhile, Iran's Press TV reported Tuesday that Tehran has decided to dispatch the 15th fleet to the Red Sea once more.
Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told the state-run agency that the Islamic Republic is planning to send its 15th fleet to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, adding that the fleet's main operational objective will be to patrol the high seas and thwart pirate raids.
The Islamic Republic's 15th fleet is comprised of a submarine and a several warships.
Sayyari noted that Iran's Navy plans to have "an active presence in the high seas in line with the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei with the purpose of serving the country's interests.
“The presence of Iran's army in the high seas will convey the message of peace and friendship to all countries,” he said.

The US will not attack the Iranian fleet without being fired on first, quit fantasizing. An attack on Iran by the US or Israel means $9 a gallon gas after Iran wreaks havoc in the "Persian" Gulf and on Saudi refineries.
Cheap gas rules the world, if you don't think so ask yourself why Saudi Arabia was not attacked after 9/11 - when the money, the training, the terrorists, the Wahabbism can all be traced back to "the kingdom".
Israel feels that when the UN sells them out, the Iranians will take that as the signal to attack. You will soon see many different maneuvers of ships, troops, etc...
